[ 0 → 4] TrapCast Express [ 4 → 15] TrapCast Express, it's Wednesday, June 12th, 2024. [ 15 → 20] Vatican overturns own decision on Seminary Dean. [ 20 → 23] That's the title of a news article by A.C. Wimmer [ 23 → 29] for Catholic News Agency, published on May 17th. [ 29 → 35] In a significant reversal, the Vatican approved the appointment of a new dean [ 35 → 41] at a seminary in northern Italy, almost one year after first blocking the appointment [ 41 → 45] over the candidate's published views on sexual morality. [ 46 → 52] The person in question is the Rev. Martin M. Lintner, OSM, [ 52 → 57] an Italian theologian who since 2009 has been teaching moral theology [ 57 → 59] or, as it's called, theologian of the Catholic Church. [ 59 → 59] As it's called, theologian of the Catholic Church. [ 59 → 64] as it turns out, immoral theology, at the Philosophical Theological College of Brixen. [ 65 → 71] Last year, in late June, mere days before Francis would appoint Victor Manuel Fernandez [ 71 → 77] as his doctrinal undertaker, the Vatican refused to allow Lintner [ 77 → 80] to become the seminary's dean, quote, [ 80 → 84] over his published works on Catholic sexual morality, [ 84 → 89] particularly his views on same-sex blessings. [ 89 → 94] Ironically, though, these published views did not prevent him [ 94 → 98] from being allowed to teach moral theology there. [ 98 → 102] It only prevented him from becoming the seminary's dean. [ 102 → 105] Does that make much sense? Of course not. [ 106 → 110] And considering that the Vatican itself has now, shall we say, [ 110 → 114] adjusted its own views on same-sex blessings [ 114 → 117] so that they align a little more now with Lintner's, [ 117 → 119] the decision was made to allow Lintner to become the seminary's dean. [ 119 → 122] The decision was reversed, and Lintner given the green light [ 122 → 123] to become dean after all. [ 124 → 126] Wimmer writes further, quote, [ 126 → 130] On the news of his appointment, Lintner told German media [ 130 → 133] that the appointment of a new prefect of the Dicastery [ 133 → 137] for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Victor Fernandez, [ 137 → 138] had played a role. [ 139 → 142] He also asserted that his case, the reversal of such an appointment, [ 143 → 146] was setting a kind of precedent, unquote. [ 146 → 148] Yeah, see, under Pope Fernandez, [ 149 → 153] Francis, anything is reversible, even the Ten Commandments, [ 153 → 157] which he's pretty much reduced to the status of Ten Suggestions. [ 158 → 161] The only thing that's not reversible for Francis? [ 161 → 165] Why, his own revolutionary reforms, of course. [ 165 → 169] In other words, his reversals can't be reversed. [ 169 → 174] His Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, said as much, [ 174 → 174] quote, [ 174 → 178] precisely because it is the action of the Spirit, [ 179 → 182] there can be no U-turn, unquote. [ 183 → 188] He assured people during a book presentation on April 24th, [ 188 → 190] as reported by Vatican News. [ 191 → 193] And, let's be honest, who could disagree [ 193 → 198] that it is indeed the action of at least some spirit? [ 199 → 203] In other news, here's a headline that'll make you laugh. [ 203 → 208] Pope Francis, priests should preach clearly and briefly. [ 209 → 216] Yeah, well, that is the title of a report published today [ 216 → 220] by the English edition of the German Novus Ordo news portal, [ 220 → 222] katholisch.de. [ 223 → 225] The article goes on, quote, [ 225 → 230] Ministers should keep their sermons understandable, appealing, and short. [ 231 → 234] The Pope addressed this admonition to priests on Wednesday [ 234 → 237] during the general audience in St. Peter's Square. [ 237 → 239] Several hundred priests, including Pope Francis, [ 239 → 243] were among the tens of thousands of faithful in attendance. [ 244 → 247] A good sermon, the Pope said, deviating from his manuscript, [ 247 → 252] must address three levels, people's thoughts, hearts, and actions. [ 252 → 255] And it should not last longer than eight minutes. [ 256 → 260] He said this with regard to those priests who often talk so much [ 260 → 265] without people understanding what they are talking about, unquote. [ 266 → 267] Yeah, no kidding. [ 267 → 268] Except, quote, [ 269 → 273] That's coming from a guy who talks about, you know, relational veracity, [ 274 → 278] time being greater than space, and religion being an imminent transcendence. [ 279 → 284] Even to kids, he talks about things that are totally meaningful to them, [ 284 → 289] you know, like moving forward, identity, dialogue, people who are closed, [ 289 → 292] and God always giving us newness. [ 293 → 293] Just saying. [ 294 → 296] Anyway, that was today. [ 296 → 298] Yesterday, the same fake Pope, [ 299 → 302] met once again with Novus Ordo priests from the Diocese of Rome. [ 303 → 304] His diocese. [ 304 → 306] Or, well, at least he tried to. [ 306 → 311] See, 500 were invited, but only 130 bothered to show up, [ 311 → 316] according to a report published by the Italian Silere Non Possum blog. [ 316 → 321] Yeah, looks like most didn't care to sit through another papal tongue-lashing, [ 321 → 325] which is exactly what those priests who did attend got. [ 326 → 329] Now, the Diocese of Rome pointed out that a lot of priests, [ 329 → 332] are involved with summer activities at their parishes currently, [ 333 → 336] and no doubt that accounts for some of the low attendance, [ 337 → 340] but then it does also say something about priorities. [ 340 → 344] Participate in a direct audience with the supposed vicar of Christ, [ 345 → 347] not exactly an everyday opportunity, [ 348 → 350] or help get the annual summer camp going. [ 351 → 356] Now, there was one courageous presbyter at the meeting who addressed Francis [ 356 → 359] and asked him if he could maybe speak a little bit about the summer camp. [ 359 → 361] Maybe he could speak a little more positively about the priesthood. [ 362 → 366] You know, instead of just constantly denouncing clericalism like a madman, [ 366 → 370] maybe he could speak about the beauty of being a priest, [ 370 → 373] and perhaps that might even encourage a vocation or two. [ 374 → 374] Imagine that. [ 375 → 378] Interestingly enough, as Silere Non Possum reports, [ 379 → 380] this petition, quote, [ 380 → 386] triggered applause that was far warmer than the applause that greeted the Pope in the hall. [ 387 → 387] Unquote. [ 389 → 390] And yes, he did it again. [ 391 → 394] Francis, Jorge Bergoglio, did it again. [ 395 → 398] You may remember that there was a big kerfuffle two weeks ago [ 398 → 401] about Francis having used in a private meeting [ 401 → 405] a derogatory term in reference to sodomites, [ 405 → 409] a term with a double G in it and beginning with the letters F-A. [ 410 → 414] Well, he used the Italian equivalent of it, of course, not the English word. [ 415 → 418] He said that such people should not be admitted to seminary, [ 419 → 421] then the Vatican issued an apology, [ 421 → 426] and some were speculating that the Holy Father probably didn't know what the word meant, [ 427 → 430] since Italian isn't his native language and all that. [ 431 → 433] But Francis has a history of using foul language, [ 433 → 437] even in his native Spanish, going back to his days in Argentina. [ 438 → 444] And in fact, it was reported in the mainstream Novosorto press in Austria back in 2013, [ 444 → 447] right after his election, that as a young cleric, [ 448 → 448] Bergoglio, [ 448 → 452] taught swear words to his own godson, who was also his nephew. [ 453 → 454] Who revealed that? [ 455 → 459] His very own sister did, Maria Elena Bergoglio, [ 459 → 462] who it appears is still alive even today. [ 463 → 465] A link to that can be found in the show notes. [ 466 → 469] In any case, in yesterday's meeting with Roman priests, [ 470 → 474] Francis repeated the very same word again, the one with a double G, [ 474 → 478] thus proving that he's doing so knowingly and deliberately. [ 479 → 479] Why? [ 480 → 482] Probably simply to stir up controversy. [ 483 → 489] We know he's been doing all he can to facilitate the advance of the sodomite lobby in the Vatican II Church, [ 489 → 492] so he's certainly not opposed to these people. [ 493 → 496] In fact, shortly after that story broke, [ 496 → 498] last week, no, actually two weeks ago, [ 498 → 503] he replied by means of a handwritten note to a young man [ 503 → 508] who had written to him complaining that he'd been dismissed from seminary over his homosexuality. [ 508 → 515] Francis responded, assuring him that he should go ahead with his vocation [ 515 → 517] because Jesus calls everyone. [ 519 → 521] So, after that interesting turnabout, [ 522 → 527] it is even more interesting that Francis basically repeated the same thing again yesterday. [ 528 → 530] No sodomites in seminaries. [ 531 → 534] But, relax, Bergoglio wouldn't be Bergoglio [ 534 → 538] if he hadn't also made sure that he would give a book to the sodomites. [ 538 → 543] A boost to the LGBTQXYZ lobby at the very same time. [ 544 → 546] And so, what do you know? [ 546 → 552] Today, the Jesuit hellboy James Martin posted the following on Twitter, or X. [ 553 → 553] Quote, [ 553 → 561] I was honored to meet with Pope Francis for an hour-long conversation today at Casa Santa Marta. [ 562 → 563] With his permission to share this, [ 564 → 568] the Holy Father said he has known many good, holy, and celibate saints, [ 568 → 572] seminarians, and priests with homosexual tendencies. [ 572 → 577] Once again, he confirmed my ministry with LGBTQ people [ 577 → 581] and showed his openness and love for the LGBTQ community. [ 582 → 585] It was also a great joy to receive his blessing [ 585 → 590] on the 25th anniversary of my ordination to the priesthood. [ 590 → 591] Unquote. [ 591 → 595] And he included a picture of Francis giving him a blessing. [ 596 → 598] Martin has plenty of directives. [ 598 → 601] Direct and indirect endorsements from the false pope. [ 601 → 605] One of the latest is Francis having written the foreword [ 605 → 609] to the Italian edition of his book, Come Forth. [ 610 → 612] So, what's going on with Francis? [ 612 → 613] Is he losing it? [ 613 → 615] Is he going senile? [ 615 → 616] Not at all. [ 617 → 621] Sending mixed signals has long been a favorite tactic of Jorge Bergoglio. [ 622 → 627] He uses it in order to create deliberate tension and confusion [ 627 → 628] and to keep people guessing. [ 628 → 632] About what he really thinks and what he plans to do. [ 632 → 637] He wants to be unpredictable and it seems he's been rather successful in that. [ 638 → 639] I can't remember now where I read it, [ 640 → 644] but someone who's in the know has said that if Francis plans to do something [ 644 → 646] and it gets leaked ahead of time, [ 646 → 649] he will deliberately change his plan and do the opposite [ 649 → 654] just to confound those who thought they knew what he was going to do. [ 655 → 658] Back in 2013, shortly after Bergoglio's, [ 658 → 662] an Argentinian gentleman by the name of Omar Bello [ 662 → 667] published the book El Verdadero Francisco, The Real Francis. [ 668 → 673] Here's what historian Henry Sear, using the pseudonym Marcantonio Colonna, [ 673 → 678] wrote in his 2017 book, The Dictator Pope, about Omar Bello. [ 679 → 679] Quote, [ 680 → 684] Perhaps the most penetrating study of his personality, [ 684 → 685] Bergoglio's personality, [ 685 → 688] was the one that was published, [ 688 → 692] published by Omar Bello, El Verdadero Francisco, The Real Francis, [ 692 → 695] within a few months of his election as Pope. [ 695 → 699] It is worth mentioning that this book vanished from the bookshops [ 699 → 702] with unaccountable speed and is now unobtainable, [ 702 → 704] a fate suffered by some other publications [ 704 → 707] that were not favorable to Pope Francis. [ 708 → 711] Omar Bello was a public relations executive [ 711 → 716] who in 2005 was engaged to launch a new church television channel [ 716 → 717] which President Menem, [ 718 → 721] had gifted to the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires. [ 721 → 724] And over eight years he was to work for the Archbishop [ 724 → 726] and get to know him. [ 726 → 728] As a professional in the field himself, [ 729 → 732] Bello was quick to detect in Cardinal Bergoglio [ 732 → 734] an accomplished self-promoter, [ 734 → 738] disguised behind an image of simplicity and austerity. [ 738 → 742] Bello moved in the circles of the Archiepiscopal staff [ 742 → 745] and got to hear the many stories that circulated [ 745 → 747] about their enigmatic superior. [ 748 → 754] Now, by God's grace, we were able to obtain a copy of that book [ 754 → 757] years ago already, and there's an interesting anecdote [ 757 → 760] Bello shares that I'd like to quote from. [ 760 → 763] It's found on pages 36 and 37, [ 764 → 766] and here we're using our own translation. [ 767 → 767] Quote, [ 767 → 771] You have to throw him out now, Bergoglio demanded, [ 772 → 773] raising his voice. [ 773 → 774] The walls trembled. [ 774 → 778] Not one more day can this guy be here. [ 778 → 779] Do you understand? [ 779 → 783] He was referring to an employee of the Curia whom he couldn't stand. [ 784 → 785] Right away. [ 785 → 786] Do you understand? [ 787 → 791] But he's going to want to talk to you, one of the treasurers replied. [ 791 → 793] I said to throw him out already. [ 793 → 795] What language am I speaking? [ 796 → 798] All right, Monsignor, we'll throw him out right away. [ 800 → 804] Promoting to remove is one of the most respected unwritten slogans of the Church. [ 804 → 807] It sounds strange, but someone who behaves badly [ 807 → 809] can end up in a better position. [ 809 → 813] Yes, very far from the original place where he committed the offense. [ 814 → 818] Of course, despite the motto, it is sometimes necessary to throw people out. [ 818 → 822] And in those cases, Bergoglio doesn't abandon his tricks either. [ 823 → 827] Once dismissed, the employee in question requested an audience with the cardinal, [ 828 → 831] and it was granted quickly, without asking questions. [ 831 → 834] But I did not know anything about it, son. [ 834 → 837] You surprise me, the present-day pope assured. [ 837 → 850] The man left the cardinal's offices without a job, but with a brand-new car as a gift, [ 850 → 855] believing Francis to be a saint driven by circumstances beyond his control, [ 855 → 858] dominated by a host of malicious assistants. [ 859 → 866] The story of this dismissal is repeated even by the security officers of the Curia of Buenos Aires. [ 866 → 867] Unquote. [ 868 → 873] Now, clearly, Francis behaves the way he does for reasons of power and pride. [ 874 → 876] He wants to be an enigma to everyone. [ 876 → 881] The less predictable he is, the more control he has over others. [ 881 → 887] But I think there is another reason he wants confusion and tension and controversy, [ 887 → 890] one that doesn't so much concern his own person. [ 891 → 896] He does appear to be a Marxist, after all, and Marxists believe that tension, [ 896 → 902] struggle, and strife are a necessary condition for progress, for revolution, [ 902 → 906] or, as Francis would say, for moving forward. [ 907 → 910] Like on blessings for sodomite couples, for example. [ 911 → 917] Just ask Hellboy James Martin, S.J., or the Reverend Martin Lindner.
