In a post of mine three weeks ago, I touched upon several avenues by which the smoke of Satan is entering into the Catholic Church. In this post, I'll deal with several of these avenues. First we look at the various partnerships that the Vatican has struck with those opposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ (fifth bullet point).
Caritas is reputedly the main social organization inside the Vatican. Yet as the Lepanto Institute and other organizations have pointed out, Caritas has been funding and even directing socialist organizations in their promotions of abortion, contraception, marxism etc.
Lepanto has discovered yet another squalid venture of Caritas. An outfit called Cordaid is apparently a co-founder of Caritas, and remains as the representative of Caritas in the Netherlands. As you read the link to the Lepanto expose, you'll see that Cordaid is directly involved in the distribution of contraception, sex education, condoms, etc to African countries. They even gave money to Planned Parenthood of Siera Leone. It appears that Cardinal Maradiaga stepped down as head of Caritas and was succeeded by Cardinal Tagle of the Philippines. The Lepanto article ends with a suggestion that Cardinal Tagle be petitioned to separate Cordaid from Caritas. That might be nice, but give what I've seen of Cardinal Tagle, one should not be surprised if these petitions are disregarded.
By the way - the Cordaid link contains a video report of the misdeeds of Caritas. Accuracy in Media checked out the facts stated therein and found them to be accurate. Caritas is promoting disobedience to the Church's teachings on life and sexuality, and also those regarding communism.
Now we'll address the second bullet point in my "smoke" post: advancement of the gay agenda. First a shout-out to the Lepanto Institue for ferreting out all these snakes in the grass. We'll now look at some mischief surrounding the Pope's visit to Philadelphia next September. It's a big conference and as can be expected, there will be many exhibitors. Someone has to decide what organizations will be allowed to exhibit at this conference. Who might that someone be? Lepanto found the answer and it is most disquieting to say the least. Her name is Teresa Matozzo and she works for Talley Management Group. She is also a gay activist in a lesbian relationship. Do we see any potential for dissident bias in the decision-making process? As critical as that question might be, that's not the most serious question here. That would be, "what possessed the event organizers to allow a gay activist to have such a role in this papal conference?"
Today we learned from LifeSiteNews that in the wake of the Irish vote disaster and the "shadow council", that Cardinal Kasper wants the synod to consider "the question of same-sex couples". Cardinal Kasper has written his own book called Pope Francis' Revolution Of Tenderness And Love. (Since when is love a revolutionary concept in the Catholic Church?) It's published by Paulist Press. Father Janus, president of Paulist Press, gave to the pope a copy of that book along with a film about LGBT Catholics called "Owning Our Faith". Watch the clip and you'll see immediately the heresies therein; (is the priest interviewed in that film still allowed to conduct himself as priest?) If Father Janus is championing both the film and book, I can only surmise that the book is similarly oriented.
It sure seems we're being force-fed a raunchy diet of pro-sodomy propaganda. I suspect it's part and parcel of the "maturation" that we're supposed to undergo before the next October sin-nod. I might suggest a read of Lepanto's treatise on Fatima as it relates to sodomy.
I predict that after all this tempest in a teapot subsides the Synod will come and go and divorced catholics will still not be able to take communion and gay marriage and unions will still not be acceptable.
There is no way the Catholic church is going to do something so revolutionary. Its just not going to happen.
The person who wrote this article is based in the Washington,DC area. He does not have to go far to see how a once proud Catholic institution and a once devout order of priests has been transformed. Step foot on the campus of Georgetown, get to know some of the “Jesuits” and you will come to understand decadent hedonism.

Just like it wasn’t going to happen that the Church would actively recruit homosexuals to its seminaries, and allow them to debauch the bond between the clergy and the Faithful; just like the Church would never turn its back on the Mass of the Ages, and replace it with a washed out proto-episopalian service, and just like the Church would never sanction the receipt of Holy Communion, the Body and
Blood of Christ, in a slovenly and perfunctory manner; just like the Church would never...well, you get the idea...
I’ve been singing in choir at an Anglican-Catholic church and loving it. Very traditional. Mass in Latin. Priest with back to the congregation. Incense. A real sense of Christian mysticism.
I like Patrick Cardinal O’Boyle’s Washington D. C.
“Just like it wasn’t going to happen that the Church would actively recruit homosexuals to its seminaries”.
Please provide documentation showing where the Catholic Church actively recruited homosexuals?

Your tagline says:
“All the evils in the world are due to lukewarm Catholics” ~ Pope Pius V
My question is: Was Pope Pius V referring to Catholic clergy?
The "World Meeting of Families" is soliciting donations and pledges supposedly to finance this upcoming papal visit, and we now learn that an LGBT activist is playing an important role in the proceedings. What exactly are the donations intended for? Why are the people in the pews being hit up for donations? I will continue to toss their solicitations in the trash can.
“Those who ignore history are damned to repeat it” George Santayana
In 1998 Pope Bergoglio wrote “that the political and social system closest to the social doctrine of the catholic church was a socialism like the Cuban whenever the idea of God was added to him.”
Pope Francis admiration for Che Guevara and the Cuban Stalinist regime leaves no doubt on his radical leftist leanings.
The Jesuits and the Maryknoll order were the main promoters of the Marxist liberation theology in Latin America.
“The national planning of the Society of Jesus in the United States should, following the example of China, become an international planning. Towards the convergence of problems in all areas of the world around a single theme: the construction in different times and forms of a world Communist society.” (Strategic document of a group of Dutch Jesuits - in collaboration with other Jesuit revolutionaries—published for internal debate in the official journal of the society of Jesus in the United States, National Jesuit News, April 1972.)
Jesuit Pope Francis irrupted to head the Church as an elephant in a crystal shop. First he opened the Vatican to the followers of the proscribed Marxist liberation theology, then, he concocted a Faustian pact against the enslaved Cuban people by which Obama embraced and supported the Cuban Stalinist regime. Before visiting the Holy Land he proudly said that he was going to be the Che Guevara for the Palestinian people. Now Francis is trying to give a moral veneer to the hoax of global warming while keeping silent while it is going a Christian holocaust.
I wonder if the liberation Pope is mentally and intellectually fit to steer the Church in such rough water – the Barque of Peter guided by Francis seems to follow the fate of the Titanic. While Christians are persecuted and slaughtered around the world by Muslims, Francis became the prophet Jeremiah of the hoax of the global warming while he has allowed the evils of Marxism to take over the Church.
The Magisterium of the Church has condemned unequivocally Socialism as intrinsically . Catholic faith is incompatible with Marxism.
…for the first time in the history of the Church, placed before us the drama of a “Pope emeritus” self-imprisoned in the Vatican and of a “bishop dressed in white” which was acclaimed by all the eternal enemies of the Catholic Faith, who has brought the Church into a submission with the worldly ideologies of the 70’s (having even re-exhumed the theology of liberation and its founder Gutierrez, which now pontificates from the Vatican).

Holding firm to Catholic doctrine and practice seems, according Pope Francis, like an act of disloyalty to the pope, yet to acquiesce to his repudiation of the Magisterium is to betray the Church.
