December 5, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – A well-known priest who writes a column for Britain’s oldest ecclesiastical newspaper is denouncing pro-life and pro-family clergy as fanatical “crypto-terrorists,” and mocking Archbishop Joseph Naumann, the recently-elected chairman of the U.S. Catholic bishops’ Pro-Life Committee.
Mgr. Basil Loftus, columnist for Britain’s Catholic Times, says he’s concerned about “single-issue fanatics” who are “exercised about sex and marriage, about maniples and Communion-on-the-tongue, about celibacy of the clergy, about contraception, or about the right to carry loaded firearms in America while attending Mass,” calling them “fanatical partisans.”
Loftus warns of such people: “their extremist and sometimes violent propensities make them, in all but name, terrorists.”
Among such “terrorists” Loftus includes any priest “who excludes females from the role of altar-servers, or refuses to wash their feet on Maundy Thursday, or who turns away from Communion a politician who voted not to criminalise abortion,” as well as “a bishop who refuses to back Pope Francis' plea for discernment in the matter of Communion for the divorced and remarried, and for those who live in non-conventional domestic situations,” concluding that “all of them are crypto-terrorists.”
Loftus’ ire is particularly reserved for the “purportedly pro-life antics of men such as Archbishop Naumann, the recently elected head of the American bishops' 'pro-life committee',” claiming that he would like to “erect marquees in papal colours in front of every abortion clinic, and staff them with a 24-hour guard of what Francis calls ‘prune-faced’ people reciting the rosary round the clock . . .”
Joseph Shaw, an Oxford philosophy professor and chairman of the Latin Mass Society of England, has been tracking Loftus’ writings for several years and has sought to alert the bishops to his bitter attacks on orthodox Catholics. He transcribed Loftus’ latest column, which only appears in print, in a.....

This is getting good.
The sooner these so called “terrorists” (devout priests) draw a line in the sand against these Roman apostates in high places and courageously continue teaching and preaching in the faith and Tradition of the Church, then the sooner the faithful will be left in peace to worship as the Church has always taught.
It may well be underground, but God will provide.
God will take care of the Vatican, the wolves roaming the halls, the apostates, and that communist agenda of theirs to destroy Holy Mother Church.
So tell me again, *who* just tried to blow up the PM again, dipstick?
How many quotes from St. Paul’s letters to the churches would make him a terrorist?
Quite a few, I believe.
Calling evil good, and calling good evil.
I love Archbishop Naumann. He’s celebrating Mass in our Center on the vigil of Feast of Immaculate Conception. I think I’ll sit front row!!
2 Timothy 4:1-5 (NIV):
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: 2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
That all sounds a little bit harsh. If one devotes their life toward good then maybe they have good intentions. Do not edict, do not claim superiority, do not express rightness in absence of intent and all will be reconciled.
The Bergoglian Schism is coming. On one side, Bergoglio and his abortionists.
On the other side, Catholics.
