PopeWatch: Yet Another Interview

Well, the Pope has had yet another interview with 95 year old atheist journalist Eugenio Scalfari, the man who various Vatcian talking heads have claimed constantly misquotes the Pope and who the Pope, nonetheless, grants frequent interviews to.  The latest interview has this telling quotation from Pope Francis:

 

“I am moved only by the desire to make our Church survive by updating our collective spirit to be in tune with modern civil society,” Francis insists, explaining that “the Church is obliged to become more modern — to be with the poor and the weak, not with the rich and strong.”

“All religions, not just Christianity, must know modern society very well in its cultural, spiritual and living depth. This is a modernity that began four or five centuries ago.”

 

Go here to read the rest.  The Church, through twenty turbulent centuries, has frequently experienced times intensely hostile to the teachings of Christ.  Traditionally the Church has confronted such times, survived and prospered.  Since Vatican II, the Church has largely sought to ape the times, and the bitter fruits of that policy are obvious to all who have eyes.  Pope Francis is the end product of a process begun with Vatican II, and heralded by the Modernism crushed by Pope Saint Pius X.  In the current Pope we have an anti-Pope Saint Pius X, leading us to embrace the World and the Flesh.   Hopefully we will not soon be called upon as faithful Catholics to embrace the Devil in a spirit of ecumenism.  Then we will know that the end times are truly upon us.

Nature worship and worldliness, this will put a dent in evangelization … oh wait, I forgot – that’s wrong to do.

We already have been called upon to embrace the Satanic world-domination ideologues who masquerade as a religion, in a spirit of ecumenism. And not only by Bergoglio.

Worshiping creation instead of the CREATOR is regressive.

Pope Francis, “to be with the poor and the weak, not with the rich and strong”. For the first time in his life would he be a man of his word and tell the Germans to piss off and humbly hand the keys over to Cardinal Sarah.

Isn’t he really saying that the rich and strong aren’t welcome in the Church? Would he had not rejected Constantine and the Roman Empire, by which the faith was spread to much of the known world, too?

And, when They have brought the Church nicely up to “Today”, They will turn to see the calendar, and realize that “Today’s” shelf life is long, long past.
