I agree with Ann on the following excerpt from her essay:
By Whose Authority Do I Presume to Denounce Bergoglio?
I titled this piece “Vocem Alienorum” from John 10 – the Good Shepherd discourse:
Amen, amen I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers (vocem alienorum).
This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what He spoke to them. Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not. I am the door. By Me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in, and go out, and shall find pastures. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I am come that they may have life, and may have it more abundantly.
I am the Good Shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. But the hireling, and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and flieth: and the wolf catcheth, and scattereth the sheep: And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep. I am the Good Shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know Me. As the Father knoweth Me, and I know the Father: and I lay down My life for my sheep.
John 10: 1-15
The notion that we laymen – the sheep – are NOT to listen and discern whose voice it is that we hear is abject lunacy. The notion the we laymen – the sheep – are to sit and wait for the hirelings – that is to say today’s faithless and effeminate clergy and prelates – to TELL US that the lying, hissing heresies and blasphemies we hear are, in fact, the words of a wolf before we react is clearly refuted by Our Blessed Lord. Further, the notion that we the sheep should willfully suspend disbelief and follow A WOLF if the hirelings tells us to, is, again, utterly irrational patent absurdity which is explicitly refuted by Our Lord and Savior in the Gospels.
We laymen, the sheep, are to listen and discern. If we hear the voice of satan and follow it, we will answer for it as we stand alone, as individuals, before Jesus Christ at our particular judgments. Blaming the hirelings will be no defense. It is abundantly clear by now that to follow the heretical, blasphemous Bergoglio is to turn away from the sweet voice of Our Savior, and instead to follow a wolf.
It is also very instructive at this point to revisit Galatians Chapter 1. St. Paul could have put this caution in no stronger terms. It speaks for itself:
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema. As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.
-Galatians 1: 8-9
