And that, Charlie Brown, is why we don’t have a State religion. Religions are always contaminated by close association with government.
The act of consecration by Pope Francis was: “To your Immaculate Heart we solemnly entrust and consecrate ourselves, the Church and all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine.”
But consecrate or convert to what? Christ?
So we had a Vatican II pope, who promotes Vatican 2 even though it promotes heresies while he attacks the true Traditional Latin Mass consecrating Russia, ostensibly to convert, while Vatican II also teaches and recognizes the Orthodox as valid sister Churches with an authentic episcopate and sacraments.
Two diametrically opposed and opposite belief systems that hit head on when he made the consecration. Which is true then? Vatican 2 or the consecration?
Government seeks to have religion on its side. Many religions willingly comply. Few resist the power. One that did is Pastor Artur Pawlowski in Calgary.
