He’s referring to the Gauchos or Argentine cowboys.
So why even bother considering marriage, if as you say there is no spiritual upside or benefit?
If it feels good, do it,right?
I thought they were going to say that Frankie had a thing for martinis. Stirred, not shaken.
This pope is truly from hell.
SURELY he didn’t mean THAT!???????????????????????????
Unfortunately Bergoglio most surely did.
While Vennari is not my cup of tea, if anything he is understated in his reporting.
While not Catholic and thus not the pope, Bergoglio is definitely from, and most certainly headed back to, that netherworld destination.
This man is an unmitigated disaster. Was the holy spirit on vacation when the college of cardinals was voting? Or were the collegium simply not listening? My money is on the latter.

it is so sad
while fidelity (even outside of marriage) is often a noble trait,..
surely a Christian priest should state views that do not advocate or enable or encourage or reward cohabitation without benefit of marriage...or sound like they do
the last thing we need are more unmarried people shacking up (frequently as a practical matter, and of course always as well as a spiritual concern)
Based on Martini’s views, why even be a Catholic when it is no different than not being a Catholic. Dark days indeed.
JPII made both Kasper and Bergoglio Cardinals. And he appointed literally thousands of rotten, corrupt, heretical bishops. And then he whined about how uncooperative they were, wrote encyclicals correcting their heresies, and spent hundreds of millions of dollars traveling the world, correcting their heresies in his preaching.
He should have put Mother Theresa, Judie Brown, and Michael Matt in charge of appointing bishops. They would have weeded out the pro-aborts and sodomites, anyway.
The Pope know not where Grace comes from.
Amen. It is so good to see that John Vennari is rightly equating Benedict with all of the other Modernists.
....until they want him to consecrate Russia again for them, ahem.
Thanks for this item. I don't have time right now to read it thoroughly and comment on it but it seems that while Ann rightly denounces Bergoglio and does it quite well, she is still pushing the line that Ratzinger (the heretic) is the real pope, she still refuses to listen to, let alone follow, that the Church teaches that the See is vacant due to heresy, and she is trotting out the bogus prophecy concocted by the dissident wing of the Franciscans and NOT by St. Francis in their dispute with Pope Martin V. On the plus side, any quotes by Cardinal Manning are excellent!
It is the same as the garbage from Vennari who denounces anyone for quoting that CATHOLIC TEACHING itself pronounces the Papal See vacant due to heresy, insists instead that Bergoglio is still the pope, BUT he would not permit him to teach the Catechism to his children. GIVE ME A BREAK!!
Also, congratulations, your tag line says it all!
Ann is slowly peeling the onion. Although she’s only removed the first layer, she’s on the right track.
Yes, but she is the type that can fall off the cart, plop down in the middle of the road, and never show any motion again.
The apostasy of the city of Rome from the vicar of Christ and its destruction by Antichrist may be thoughts very new to many Catholics, that I think it well to recite the text of theologians of greatest repute. First Malvenda, who writes expressly on the subject, states as the opinion of Ribera, Gaspar Melus, Biegas, Suarrez, Bellarmine and Bosius that Rome shall apostatize from the Faith, drive away the Vicar of Christ and return to its ancient paganism. Then the Church shall be scattered, driven into the wilderness, and shall be for a time, as it was in the beginning, invisible; hidden in catacombs, in dens, in mountains, in lurking places; for a time it shall be swept, as it were from the face of the earth. Such is the universal testimony of the Fathers of the early Church.
