PopeWatch: Archbishop Bruno Forte

PopeWatch2-199x300-199x300

 

 

The bald faced mendacity behind Amoris Laetitia was recently confirmed by Archbishop Bruno Forte, crony of the Pope, and chosen by the Pope to be Special Secretary for the recently concluded Synod.

 

Archbishop Forte has in fact revealed a “behind the scenes” [moment] from the Synod: “If we speak explicitly about communion for the divorced and remarried,” said Archbishop Forte, reporting a joke of Pope Francis, “you do not know what a terrible mess we will make. So we won’t speak plainly, do it in a way that the premises are there, then I will draw out the conclusions.

“Typical of a Jesuit,” Abp Forte joked, attributing to that suggestion a wisdom that has allowed the maturation necessary to conclude that Amoris Laetitia, as Abp. Bruno Forte explained, does not represent a new doctrine, but the “merciful application” of that [the doctrine]of all time.

Go here to read the rest.  So the Pope changes Church teaching with a wink and a nod instead of directly.  This is in line with the Pope’s unbelievable statement that he had “forgotten” about footnote 351.  The contemporary Jesuits have raised lies to an art form, and Pope Francis has revealed himself as a loyal son of that Order.

The idea seems to be that the end justifies the means- a white lie, a seemingly innocuous deception for the purpose of achieving a greater outcome than could be gained by honest means, (respectful of God and man.)

Perhaps a future pope will put the official copy of the exhortation on trial, condemn it, publicly burn it then scatter the ashes in the Tiber.

Oh, for the halcyon days of February 2013, when Catholics gave a ____ about whether their Pope was an honest broker.

Dale, I think (and I hope I am wrong) that most Catholics raised on V II actually believe Jorge Bergoglio is an honest broker. That’s the whole problem.

The protestant reformers coined the term ‘Jesuitical’ – how perceptive and prophetic they were.

Since I’m not registered to comment over at Father Z’s blog (the Crisis essay he links to is worthwhile too, by the way) I’m just going to throw a my $0.02 into this thread;

Chalcedonians (i.e. Christians suscribing to the Trinitarian doctrine affirmed by the Council of Chalcedon) were in the minority. Compared to the number of Arians, Nestorians, Monophysites, etc., severely so, yet the Church survived —Just as Christ promised Peter it would.

In the Grand Scheme of Things, this is Small Potatos.

“In the Grand Scheme of Things, this is Small Potatos.” Yea, contradicting the word of Jesus’ teaching in the bible about marriage is really nothing compared to the fears of Climate Change, where believers in that, like Pope Francis, are saying “God made a mistake when he created life on the foundation of CO2. Plants need CO2 to live and give off O2 in exchange. We animals need O2 to live and give off CO2. How could God have been so mistaken in basing the whole of life on such a fragile element?

Technically, O2 and CO2 are NOT elements, but chemical structures coomposed of elements. O2 is composed of two atoms of the element oxygen in covalent bonding. CO2 is composed of three atoms – one of the element carbon and two of the element oxygen – in covalent boindg.

I say again and repeatedly, if anthropogenic global warming were the real planetary crisis being asserted, then the United States and the rest of the nations of the Earth would be converting full scale to a nuclear energy economy with all due haste. That this is NOT being done by the very people who are asserting the reality of anthropogenic global warming demonstrate their disbelief in what they purport.
