Soon Oath of Blind Obedience to Bergoglio
Spiritual Food Blogspot ^ | February 14, 2018 | Rev. Joseph Dwight

Posted on 02/19/2018 3:56:29 AM PST by JosephJames

In preparation to take away the Most Holy Eucharist in all the public Catholic churches in the world by way of a mandatory invalid ecumenical mass, there are many indications that for the first time ever, all deacons, priests, bishops and cardinals will have to take an OATH OF TOTAL FIDELITY TO BERGOGLIO, NOT TO CHRIST, as has always been done in the past during the Chrism Mass, on Wednesday (March 28, 2018) of Holy Week (or Thursday in some diocese). In all probability, this will be the beginning of the greatest schism in the history of the Catholic Church. After the great majority of the priests and bishops will take this solemn oath, not only will Bergoglio be able to move more quickly to manipulate the Church toward his goals, but the persecution against the few priests and bishops who will remain faithful to the unchanging Truth of God will accelerate very quickly!

“THE FUNDAMENTAL BATTLE OF ALL TIMES is who establishes the truth, God or the world, God or Satan, God or each person? This battle will increase even more in the next few years before the second coming or Jesus Christ. Lucifer said, I am God, I decide the Truth, and Saint Michael the Archangel replied with his name: “Who is like unto God?” ... (“Who Decides The Truth?”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2014/06/who-decides-truth.html). The Truth from God will make us truly free now and for eternity (Jn 8:32); the truth from myself, the world or from Satan will make me a slave now and for all eternity. The choice is ours.

There is less prayer than ever before, more sin than ever before, even worse, indifference as if sin no longer exists, and so we have given much greater power to “the father of lies”, Satan (Jn 8:44). In particular Satan has more power to “disguise himself as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14), to offer his very deadly beautiful lies as if they were the “truth that sets us free” (Jn 8:32), instead Satan’s lies makes us slaves now and for all eternity!

Jesus said “I am the Truth” (Jn 14:6). Thus the “father of lies” (Jn 8:44), Satan, seeks to offer his beautiful lies as if they were the truth. Satan has more followers today than in the history of mankind. In particular in the last 50-60 years many Christians and Catholics have been enticed into following the easy way, a Christianity without the cross and without responsibility, so as to ignore or rebel against the Church’s constant teachings, especially regarding sexual morality (Humanae Vitae, 1968). Thus God has finally given to us what we want, a Pope (false, not canonically elected) who approves truth according to what man wants instead of the Truth that God has given to us for our true good and which truly sets us free (Jn 8:32). The prophecy of Saint Francis of Assisi told us about this over 800 years ago (“The “Prophecy” of Saint Francis (Assisi)”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html). So now, after this remote and proximate preparation of Satan to lead us into subjectivism and relativism in which each person becomes what Satan believes himself to be, god, all the clerics in the Catholic Church will have to take an oath of total blind obedience to this false pope, or face dire consequences, which in the end will lead to the martyrdom of many priests and bishops faithful to the Eternal Truth, Jesus Christ.

The following was published on January 8, 2018 in Italian (https://anonimidellacroceblog.wordpress.com/2018/01/08/spifferi-parte-lvii-il-pericolo-dello-scisma-di-fra-cristoforo/):

“Drafts part LVII: the danger of the schism. Oath of fidelity to the magisterium of Bergoglio” of Fra Cristoforo

I state that what is reported in the drafts comes from a source very much in the Vatican circles. And he tells me how important he feels about what he succeeds in “capturing” all the entourage that hangs out daily in Santa Marta. So I report exclusively what is “confided” to me. And I publish it for duty of Truth. I can tell you that the source is worthy of trust. Proof of this is the fact that so many drafts have now become sadly realized. Those which have not yet happened, it is not that they will not happen. It is only a matter of time. Because, as you will have understood, things at Santa Marta can change from one day to another. It depends on the moods. We are simple ambassadors. And as they say: the ambassador does not bring penalty.

Having clarified this, we arrive at the Spiffero (Draft). In terms of “reforms” Bergoglio has always had very clear ideas. From the first moment of his pontificate he beat the nail on: migrants, ecology, ecumenism. With the publication of Amoris Laetitia he then sealed his “relativism” in matters of morality. These points are now established in the neo-church. Now in almost all the Parishes you do not hear about anything else. The faithful and children are taught nothing but the “word” Bergoglio. Like an obsession.

But as we have seen in these times, not all have aligned. And among these there are also Bishops and Cardinals. This is the concern of Bergoglio. Those who “resist”. He cannot stand it. It is stronger than himself. Here then is what there is being studied at Santa Marta in the last few months.

My source told me that a sort of “act of fidelity to the pope (obviously Omissis) and his magisterium” is under study. The small letters are intended.

This kind of “act of fidelity” will be required of all clerics of the Catholic Church, deacons, priests, bishops and cardinals. And it must be FORMALLY PRONOUNCED. In the various dioceses a day will be chosen in which all, bishops, priests and deacons will have to pronounce solemnly this formal act. Which means to promise “blind loyalty” to the “magisterium” and the teaching of Bergoglio. Of course it will be mandatory. Those who do not make this “promise” will have to consider themselves “suspended a divinis”.

If this draft were to happen (I hope not), we will be at a decisive turning point. And I believe that nobody will save us from the schism. Also because how can we lend loyalty to a heretical magisterium?

In my opinion there will be a rift never seen in the history of the Church. The neo-church of Bergoglio, and those who will remain faithful to the Traditional Teaching of the Church. And hence the total confusion.

Regarding the times, the source has not been precise. He told me about a few months. He told me that the text is being prepared.

I think it’s time to increase prayer. Let us strongly invoke Our Lady who can save us from this disaster. Let’s do Eucharistic adoration. Let us pray to the Apostles, the Martyrs, the Saints, the Souls of Purgatory, the Archangels, the Angels. Let’s move Heaven as much as possible. Because if such a thing happens, the battle will really be furious. Let us pray very much! Let us pray for one another, so that none of us gives in to the enemy. Let us also fast! At least those who can!

It’s true. The Lord has told us that the gates of hell will not prevail. But he did not tell us there will be no battle. The battle will be there. And it will be the decisive one.

Fra Cristoforo

The following was published on January 23, 2018 in Italian (https://anonimidellacroceblog.wordpress.com/2018/01/23/spifferi-parte-lviii-tra-circa-un-mese-lo-scisma-di-fra-cristoforo/):

“Drafts part LVIII: in about a month the schism” of Fra Cristoforo

It will arrive sooner than we thought. Terrible news comes from Santa Marta. Bergoglio, who has touched his loss of popularity in these days of his trip to Chile and Peru, seeing the further failure of his wedding gossip in the “airplane” has decided to play everything for everything. And in about a month will propose the famous “oath” to his magisterium, of which we had spoken before (https://anonimidellacroceblog.wordpress.com/2018/01/08/spifferi-parte-lvii-il-pericolo-dello- scisma-di-fra-cristoforo /). Schism motive. Because so many Priests will oppose.

This oath will be made before the diocesan bishops. Who will have the task of writing down who has been faithful or not. The priests who will not adapt will be suspended latae sententiae.

AND HERE THE SCHISM WILL BEGIN. Because as far as I know, not all Priests will be available to implement this oath.

Dark times are expected for the Catholic Church. We pray the Virgin Mary. And we make much Eucharistic Adoration.

Fra Cristoforo

Each year during the Chrism Mass on Wednesday of Holy Week (or Thursday in some dioceses) the priests of the diocese pronounce their “Renewal of Commitment to Priestly Service”. In this “Renewal”, we see that the priests make their “Renewal of Commitment to Priestly Service” to Christ: “Now, in the presence of your bishop and God’s holy people, are you ready to renew your own dedication to Christ as priests of his new covenant?” The priests renew their commitment of priestly service TO CHRIST, while the “bishop and God’s holy people” are the witnesses. The priests do not renew their commitment of priestly service to their bishop or to God’s holy people, NOR TO THE MAGISTERIUM OF A PARTICULAR POPE, and not even to the Church, but to Christ!

Thus the indications that I have received indicate that this oath of blind obedience to Bergoglio will take place in just about all the diocese of the world on Wednesday (or Thursday) of Holy Week, March 28, 2018!!! For years now we have slid into the great apostasy which precedes the revealing of the Antichrist (2Thess 2:3-12). Now this apostasy will come out into the open which will become the greatest schism in the history of the Catholic Church! As Fra Cristoforo indicates, “nobody will save us from the schism”. It will be very difficult to changes one’s mind after having taken a solemn oath, just as it is very difficult to leave Masonry!

To see the full “Renewal of Commitment to Priestly Service” from the liturgy of the Chrism Mass, see below, Appendix.

POPE JOHN PAUL II (among many other occasions) SPOKE FIRMLY TO THE US BISHOPS AGAINST THIS "PICK AND CHOOSE SMORGASBORD TYPE CATHOLICISM" in LA in his September 1987 visit: "It is sometimes reported that a large number of Catholics today do not adhere to the teaching of the Church on a number of questions, notably sexual and conjugal morality, divorce and remarriage. Some are reported as not accepting the Church's clear position on abortion. It has also been noted that there is a tendency on the part of some Catholics to be selective in their adherence to the Church's moral teachings. It is sometimes claimed that DISSENT FROM THE MAGISTERIUM is totally compatible with being a “good Catholic” and poses no obstacle to the reception of the sacraments. THIS IS A GRAVE ERROR that challenges the teaching office of the bishops of the United States and elsewhere. I wish to encourage you in the love of Christ to address this situation courageously in your pastoral ministry, relying on the power of God's truth to attract assent and on the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given both to those who proclaim the message and to those to whom it is addressed." (http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/1987/september/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_19870916_vescovi-stati-uniti_en.html).

It is interesting that Pope John Paul II did NOT say to the bishops that they must obey ME as Pope, BUT “dissent from the MAGISTERIUM” of the Catholic Church! Lumen Gentium 25 teaches clearly that the documents of an ecumenical council ARE INFALLIBLE (CCC 891). The Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults (ed. 1992, not 2017!?!) (CCC 888-892) tell us that the doctrines of the Church are essential to arrive to sanctity. “When the Church through its supreme Magisterium proposes a doctrine “for belief as being divinely revealed,” and as the teaching of Christ, the definitions “must be adhered to with the obedience of faith.” This infallibility extends as far as the deposit of divine Revelation itself” (CCC 891). But to the ordinary teaching of the Church “the faithful are to adhere to it with religious assent” which, though distinct from the assent of faith, is nonetheless an extension of it” (CCC 892). Thus the documents in an ecumenical council express in human language the absolute truths which cannot be changed, EVEN BY A FUTURE POPE FOR APPARENTLY GOOD MOTIVES TO MAKE THE NON CATHOLICS FEEL MORE AT EASE or for non practicing Catholics or for Catholics who want to change things; this would be false ecumenism, false mercy, false love, which offers a superficial and easy solution without the cross of Jesus, but afterwards there is slavery and destruction! Who knows best, God or us?!? Do we trust God or do we trust ourselves? Do we want to spend eternity with God or eternity separated from God? In heaven there is room for one God, not two! God, out of love, does not force anyone to be with Him now nor for eternity! In this short life each person makes his or her definitive choice for all eternity! “The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God” (CCC 1035).

It is very interesting here that the popes up to the false pope not canonically elected, Bergoglio, used similar words as those of Pope John Paul II, “dissent from the MAGISTERIUM”, to continually call back lay people, priests and bishops to the authentic interpretation of Divine Revelation from the Magisterium of the Church which has always been guided by the Holy Spirit. Instead Bergoglio now wants to suspend “latae sententiae” all those priests and bishops who insist that Catholics must remain faithful to the authentic Magisterium of the Church which expresses the Truth from God which cannot change even “an iota, not a dot” (Mt 5:17-18; 24,35). Of course, before God, this invalidly elected false pope has no power to suspend anyone! This is the same behavior and tactic of all the dictators in the history of the world! Things are now totally reversed and very few people have their eyes open to how we have been slowly led and brainwashed to the point of: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil” (Is 5:20).

The Truth, Who is Jesus (Jn 14:6), does not change with the world or with the times! “Christ said “I am the truth”; He did NOT say, “I am the custom”.” – St. Toribio.

“We do not need a Church that is moved by the world, but a Church that moves the world” – G.K. Chesterton.

The popes up to five years ago, especially Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, told us many times: “We wish to make it clear that DEPARTURE FROM THE CHURCH'S TEACHING, OR SILENCE ABOUT IT, in an effort to provide pastoral care is neither caring nor pastoral. ONLY WHAT IS TRUE CAN ULTIMATELY BE PASTORAL.”!!!

A great number of pastors today, who progressively neglected their primary duty to protect the sheep from the hidden and subtle traps and strategies of the wolf, do not teach or preach that God’s laws are for our true good and thus they do not preach about the transgressions of these holy laws, SIN, which is the only true evil and sickness for our immortal souls. A great number of pastors have reversed the priorities of love of God first and then love of neighbor, to please people first, and thus end up offering people false love, false mercy and misguided compassion which leads to great harm to the souls entrusted to them by God.

“The Antichrist will conquer many people by saying: “You can do all that you like... it is enough to love each other...” - Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) (http://profezie3m.altervista.org/ptm_profx_santaildegarda.htm). When Saint Augustine wrote a similar phrase, he had no idea that one day we would arrive to the point, especially in the Catholic Church, to understand “love” separated from God’s holy laws!

Very often Christians emphasis love, but if truth gets in the way, they compromise because they do not want to offend, they do not want to lose friends or followers, in the name of “love”. But on the other hand there are those who say that truth is what it’s all about but they are not so careful on how they treat the people that they are bombarding with the Truth; you cannot use truth as a sledgehammer to beat somebody up, but we must lead people to see the Truth of God that truly sets us free (Jn 8:32). Both are important, the Truth and the Truth offered freely out of love. Through our love we can help others discover the fullness of truth that hopefully they see in our lives. Today the great tendency is to put the uncomfortable Truth aside so as not to offend anyone, to be “politically correct” and to remain silent about the part of the Truth or of the Gospel that people do not want to hear. This is false love, this is concern only for this short life as if eternity does not exist! Did God give us the Ten Commandments for our good or for our evil? Do we trust God or do we trust ourselves?

You ask why will so many priests and bishops make a solemn oath to Bergoglio instead of to Christ as has always been done in the past? The history of the Church and of the world shows clearly that the ones who went with the schisms were in the great majority because it is the easier way, it is the way to be “politically correct”, to not lose personal followers, friends, and glory in the Church before men, not before God! If a priest has been truly concerned about the eternal salvation of the souls entrusted to him, he would already have his eyes open to the greatest dangers in the history of the Church and of the world for souls today, and thus would realize the great danger and damage done by Amoris Laetitia, and so many other negative fruits in the last 5 years coming from the Vatican.

So many clerics have over the years let themselves become attached to things and to human honor instead of following more and more Christ crucified and humiliated. Thus how many priests and bishops today are prepared, by continual spiritual training of much sincere prayer and living their prayer, including the willingness to embrace daily sacrifice in a religious and austere manner of life, in order not to not deny Christ, Who is the uncomfortable Truth (Jn 14:6)? When I asked some priests a few years ago about what Cardinal Kasper was saying and promoting at the synods on the family, they all took the easy way out and said let Pope Francis decide, as if 2000 years of Divine Revelation explained in the documents of the Church guided by the Holy Spirit did not mean anything. This is the same easy way that the followers of Hitler, or of any dictator, have always taken. “Ignorance is bliss”, but it will not be so blissful after death! “So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven” (Mt 10:32-33).

These pastors are like hired hands (Jn 10:12) who receive the payment of human glory and of making happy the sheep who want a Christianity without the cross and with the benediction and at least silent approval of the pastor that all is OK. “The Church of the nice!” These pastors are not ready to lose everything for Christ, including their salaries, titles, positions and esteem before people as did Christ 2000 years ago on the cross! “‘THEY ARE ALL DUMB DOGS, THEY CANNOT BARK’ (Is 56:10) … If a religious leader is afraid to say what is right, what else can his silence mean but that he has taken flight? Whereas, if he stand firm in defence of his flock, he is building up a wall for the house of Israel against its enemies. And so again the sinful people are told: ‘Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you; they have not exposed your iniquity in order to provoke you to repentance.’ …” (Pope St. Gregory the Great; Office of Readings; Sunday, Week 27 of OT).

“WHAT KIND OF MEN ARE THEY who, fearing to hurt those they speak to, not only do not prepare them for imminent temptations, but even promise the happiness of this world, which God did not promise to the world itself?...” (Sermon of St. Augustine on the Shepherds; Office of Readings; Sunday, Week 24 of OT, Friday).

We have arrived to the point today that the few priests who do as the GOOD SHEPHERD, ready to lay down their lives for the sheep (Jn 10:11), who preach the WHOLE Gospel and ALL of the teachings of the Magisterium of the Church are labeled ridged and old-fashioned, insensitive, lacking in compassion, divisive, judgmental, moralists. While at the same time “THE HIRELINGS” (Jn 10:12), the priests and bishops who maintain a culpable silence, the ones who tell their people what they think they want to hear, are seen as understanding, sympathetic, pastorally sensitive and merciful. Of course it is more ego satisfying and much easier to be “politically correct” and to go along with the people and a powerful dictator than to follow the uncomfortable Truth, who is Christ Crucified and humiliated! This cowardly way of doing things is not authentic and true mercy! THIS IS FALSE LOVE, MISGUIDED COMPASSION, false mercy, false ecumenism, that does not lead to paradise for all eternity!?! “Woe to you, when all men speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets” (Lk 6:26). “For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God” (Jn 12:43). “How can you believe, who receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?” (Jn 5:44; Gal 1:10).

Thus as the prophecy of Saint Francis tells us, we deserve a false pope who will approve our egoism which will lead us to our destruction. The great majority of Catholics, just as their pastors, will not question the great harm of Amoris Laetitia as did 4 cardinals (the “Dubia” - November 2016) and recently ten bishops and hundreds of priests. In the end these so-called Catholics, in name only, will welcome a mandatory ecumenical mass in all the public churches in the whole world which will be invalid according to the reveal truth contained in Divine Revelation and explained in the documents of the Church. At that point there will no longer be the real presence of our Eucharistic Lord in all the public churches, “the continual burnt offering” (Dan 8:11; 12:11), Who until then was “RESTRAINING” the “man of lawlessness” (2Thess 2:3-4). This is the main goal of the false prophet, the false pope, the second beast of the Book of Revelation, to bring the Catholic Church to this sacrilege, the ultimate “DESOLATING SACRILEGE” (Mt 24:15; Mk 13:14; 2Thess 2:3-4; Dan 9:27; 11:31; 12:11) so as to lead all to adore the first beast of the Book of Revelation (ch. 13), the Antichrist!!! (“The Eucharist in the Catacombs”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/the-eucharist-in-catacombs.html). In a very sly and hidden way, with the full help of Masonry with the mass media, Bergoglio is leading the Church very quickly away from the Truth of God, which truly sets us free (Jn 8:32), into what Pope Benedict called “the dictatorship of relativism” (“Who Decides The Truth?”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2014/06/who-decides-truth.html).

Pope John Paul II often spoke about the importance of dialogue, because by dialogue we help each other seek and discover the Truth outside of ourselves that comes from God, instead of not talking with those not in agreement with ourselves, as we want the truth and reality, as do dictators.

In an interview with OnePeterFive (September 2017), Bishop Athanasius Schneider said that some of the “ambiguous affirmations” in Amoris Laetitia are “causing a moral and disciplinary anarchy in the life of the Church.” Bishop Schneider continues: “This principle of fraternal correction inside the Church was valid at all times, even towards the Pope, and so it should be valid in our times as well. Unfortunately, whoever in our days dares to speak the truth – even when he does it with respect towards the Pastors of the Church – is classified as an enemy of unity, as it likewise happened to Saint Paul; for, he had stated: “I have turned into your enemy simply by saying the truth to you” (Gal. 4:16). … Those who are afraid of weakening Church unity by criticizing Pope Francis’ teachings must remember that the Pope is the servant of the Church. He is the first who has to obey in an exemplary manner all the truths of the unchanging and constant Magisterium, because he is only an administrator, and not an owner, of the Catholic truths. The Pope must constantly bind himself and the Church to obedience to God’s word. When the Pope is himself tolerating a wide dissemination of obvious errors of faith and of grave abuses of the sacraments (like the admittance of unrepentant adulterers to the sacraments), the bishops should not behave themselves like SERVILE EMPLOYEES wrapping themselves in silence.” (“Politically Correct in the Church – EWTN”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/politically-correct-in-church-ewtn.html).

This oath of blind obedience to the “magisterium” of Bergoglio will greatly facilitate the acceptance of an invalid mass, the “Desolating Sacrilege”, and will also take away the public voice and get rid of just about all opposition from priests and bishops who remain faithful to the unchanging Truth from God, not the “truth” from the world, nor from the Church, and much less from the magisterium of the false pope not canonically elected.

Hitler burned all the books that might help to open up people’s eyes to the truth and to the deception of the Third Reich. Hitler killed as many intellectuals as possible, those who were capable of understanding the deception and then communicating well this deception to others. As Fra Cristoforo points out: “This is the concern of Bergoglio. Those who “resist”. He cannot stand it. It is stronger than himself.” Behold the motive of the oath of blind obedience to Bergoglio!

Does the truth come from God or from the Church? Is the Church the handmaid of the Truth of the Author of the Truth? The oath of blind obedience to Bergoglio means that Bergoglio is the author of the truth, not God! Or rather Bergoglio is god, just as so many today have made themselves little gods by sliding into subjectivism and relativism, as did our first parents: “But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" (Gen 3:4-5)”. Many modern philosophers led us into the “COPERNICAN REVOLUTION” of not seeking anymore reality and the truth outside of ourselves by way of our five senses but inside of ourselves, as if each one of us “will be like God”. (“Who Decides The Truth?”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2014/06/who-decides-truth.html).

Saint Padre Pio said: "It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the HOLY MASS." This saint also said: “The ROSARY is the weapon for these times”!

As Fra Cristoforo points out, very quickly after this mandatory oath of blind obedience, things will become more violent against the few priests and bishops who will remain faithful to the unchanging Truth, Who is Jesus Christ (Jn 14:6). “Because if such a thing happens, the battle will really be furious.” Our Lady of AKITA, Japan, told us in the final message, October 13, 1973: “As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms that will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the pope, the bishops, and the priests. The work of the devil will infiltrate even the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate Me will be scorned and opposed by their conferees … churches and altars sacked, the Church will be full of those who accept compromise and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God” (http://www.miraclerosarymission.org/akita.htm).

Just as Our Lady explains well in the Book, “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons” (http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/), this is the period when the Body of Christ, the Church, will be crucified and buried and afterwards there will be the resurrection (CCC 677): “My Adversary will one day think that he is celebrating a complete victory: over the world, over the Church, over souls. It will be only then that I will intervene - terrible and victorious - that his defeat may be all the greater when he is certain in his conviction that he has conquered once for all. What is in preparation is so extraordinary that its like has never happened since the creation of the world. That is why everything has already been predicted in the Bible. … First of all, it is necessary that my Enemy have the impression of having conquered everything, of having everything now in his hands. This is why he will be permitted to penetrate even into the interior of my Church, and he will succeed in plunging the sanctuary of God into darkness. He will reap the greatest number of victims from among the ministers of the sanctuary. THIS WILL IN FACT BE A TIME OF GREAT FALLS ON THE PART OF MY BELOVED SONS, MY PRIESTS” (Our Lady to Don Stefano Gobbi; October 18, 1975). (“Only a Remnant Will Remain Faithful to the Truth”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/09/only-remnant-will-remain-faithful-to.html).

Although there are few bishops, priests and lay people who have kept their eyes open to the signs of the times and to the strategy of our immortal enemy, and are ready and willing to follow Christ crucified right now, “The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians” – Tertullian. Thus in the end, as Our Lady revealed to Don Stefano Gobbi for these our times (November 22, 1992; “To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/), we will see fulfilled the prophecies of Zechariah: “An oracle of the Lord: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered; and then I will turn my hand against the little ones. An oracle of the Lord: In all the land, two thirds of them will be cut off and perish; and one third shall be left. I will pass this third through fire; I will refine it as silver is refined, test it as gold is tested. `It will call upon my Name, and I will hear it; I will say:"This is my people.” And it will say: “The Lord is my God.(cf. Zec 13:7-9)” (“Do Not Abandon the Church”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/12/do-not-abandon-church.html).

The arrival of this dictatorial pope not canonically elected was programmed and orchestrated not only by the “Mafia Club of Sankt-Gallen” (“Pope Benedict XVI Forced To Resign”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/01/pope-benedict-xvi-force-to-resign.html) but even before by the Masonic bishops who followed the orders of the Grand Master of the Masons to the Catholic Bishops for the destruction of the Catholic Church (the last four of the 33 directives):

“30. After the Antipope has been elected, dissolve the synod of bishops as well as the associations of priests and parish councils. Forbid all religious to question, without permission, these new provisions. Explain that God loves humility and hates those who aspire to glory. Accuse of disobedience against Ecclesiastical authority all those who raise questions. Discourage obedience to God. Tell the people that they must obey these higher ecclesiastics.

31. Give the Pope (= Antipope) the maximum power to choose their successors. Order under pain of excommunication all those who love God, to bear the mark of the beast. Do not call it though the "sign of the beast." The Sign of the Cross should not be done nor used on people or through them (you should not bless anymore). To make the Sign of the Cross will be designated as idolatry and disobedience.

32. Declare previous dogmas as false, except Papal Infallibility. Proclaim Jesus Christ as a failed revolutionary. Announce that the true Christ will soon come. Only the elected Antipope must be obeyed. Tell the people that they must bow when his name is uttered.

33. Order all the subjects of the Pope to fight in holy crusade to extend the one-world religion. Satan knows where one finds all the lost gold. Conquer the world without pity! All this will bring to humanity all that it has always craved: "the golden age of peace".”

(“The Masonic Plan For The Destruction Of The Catholic Church”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/masonic-plan.html).

When people have freely chosen to remain separated from God in mortal sin, I am not surprised that people can arrive to the point of believing such tremendous lies! Jesus Christ is the “Prince of Peace” (Is 9:6)! But God will give this "golden age of peace” but not as the beautiful lie of the head of Masonry, Satan!

“When this Pope (John Paul II) will have completed the task which Jesus has entrusted to him and I will come down from heaven to receive his sacrifice, all of you will be cloaked in a dense darkness of apostasy, which will then become general. There will remain faithful only that little remnant which, in these years, by accepting my motherly invitation, has let itself be enfolded in the secure refuge of my Immaculate Heart. And it will be this little faithful remnant, prepared and formed by me, that will have the task of receiving Christ, who will return to you in glory, bringing about in this way the beginning of the NEW ERA which awaits you" (Our Lady to Don Stefano Gobbi; May 13, 1991).

A priest who comes to me, unofficially sent by the bishop, to spy on me, while criticizing my suspicions of Bergoglio, said to me the other day (December 27, 2017), how nicely Pope Francis spoke recently about humility and charity. I responded to him: “Is it humility and charity to never dialogue with four cardinals regarding the “Dubia” and that there are grave problems with Amoris Laetitia?” He did not have an answer. I then said to him that Jesus said you will know them by their fruits, not by their beautiful words. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits” (Mt 7:15-20). Jesus did not say “you will know them by their leaves”, which would be their nice words!

Interview with Bishop Schneider - Catholics are NOT called to blind obedience to the Pope:

February 17, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — Asked about the confusion in the Church today stemming directly from Pope Francis and how the faithful are to respond, a prominent Catholic bishop has said Catholics do not owe blind obedience to the Pope, adding that blind obedience is characteristic of a ‘dictatorship,’ not the Church.

Kazakhstan Bishop Athanasius Schneider, one of the most prolific voices in the Church today seeking to defend the Catholic faith from anti-life and anti-family distortion, made the remarks in an interview with Rorate Caeli and Adelante la Fe.

“As Catholics,” he said we have “to be submitted, (canonically) I mean, to the Pope, to the Vicar of Christ to accept his authority, to have respect for him, to pray for him, and to have a supernatural love for him.” But, he added, “this does not mean blind obedience; of course not because we are not in a dictatorship.” “In a dictatorship yes, we have to obey blind or in the army.”

Rather, Bishop Schneider said, “the Church is a family were discussion is possible” and also “correction with respect and with love.” When this is not possible, he added, “there is not a true atmosphere of Church spirituality.” It would be an “atmosphere of intimidation, of repression, of fear and this is not atmosphere of the Holy Spirit.”

Bishop Schneider reflected on the example of St. Catherine of Siena, who, he noted, the Church recognizes as a saint and Doctor of the Church. While she always kept “a very deep respect towards the Pope and a deep love for him,” he said, she nevertheless “wrote several letters to him with very harsh” criticisms and correctly admonished him which she did “out of love for him.”

“She wrote in a letter to the Pope, ‘Most Holy Father if you will not convert, please step down, renounce the papacy. I write these out of love for your person, for your eternal salvation, and for the Church.’” This letter and the attitude behind it, said Schneider, “is not schismatic, and in no way against the Pope.”

Bishop Schneider counseled against making “the Pope an idol” or practicing “papal latria” or ultimately a “deification” of the Pope. He suggested that the current crisis in the Church may rectify a tendency toward papal latria experienced in the Church in the past hundred years.

Quoting St. Thomas Aquinas quoting of St. Augustine, Bishop Schneider recalled that “when St. Paul made a correction to the first pope Peter and he made this publicly not privately.”

“St. Augustine said Peter was so humble and so wise that he accepted this correction,” said Schneider. “He did not say, ‘You are Paul, you are against me. You are heretical. You are schismatic.’ No, he accepted this with gratitude and so should be the Pope in these days.”

“St. Paul was public and even today, as he wrote this in his letter, and his letter is inspired by the Holy Spirit for all generations until the end of the world, they will read the correction of the first Pope as word of God.” As Paul made the correction of the first Pope public, said Bishop Schneider, so too if Paul were alive today “he would use the Internet” as this would be similar to using his letters sent to all churches. “Therefore, there is no difficulty and problem to me that the four Cardinals published their public appeal to the Pope.”

In conclusion, Bishop Schneider appealed to the faithful, saying “the most powerful means” to help with the crisis in the Church, “is not an appeal to the Pope or a kind of fraternal or filial correction.”

The most powerful means to help the Pope that he can help the Church to overcome these confusions of doctrine in the Church is by means of prayer, by intense prayer and even of suffering of doing works of reparation, expiation for the Pope, for his soul, for his that he may receive from God the strength, the light to confirm all the entire Church in an unambiguous manner in the truth as did St. Peter and almost all his successors.”

Just as Christ was crucified and buried 2000 years ago, so too His Body, the Church, will be crucified and buried in this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21). Only after this, when it seems that the Church is totally dead and buried, when Satan and his very numerous followers seem to have total victory, then the “Woman clothed with the sun” (Rev 12:1) will crush the head of the “great red dragon” (Rev 12:3), the ancient serpent (Gen 3:15), and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph (Fatima, 1917) and there will be the Second Coming of Jesus with His Body, the purified Church! We saw in the heavens the “Woman clothed with the sun” on September 23, 2017 for the first time ever! Visit: “Signs of God vs. Signs of Satan” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/12/signs-god-vs-satan.html).

The last part of the homily of Pope Benedict XVI; Esplanade of the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima; before 500,000 people: 13 May 2010: “We would be mistaken to think that Fatima’s prophetic mission is complete. … may the seven years which separate us from the centenary of the apparitions hasten the fulfilment of the prophecy of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to the glory of the Most Holy Trinity.” (http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/homilies/2010/documents/hf_ben-xvi_hom_20100513_fatima_en.html; http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/fatimas-prophetic-mission-not-complete-pope-declares-on-solemnity/).

(Visitate: “The FALSE POPE – Saint Hildegard”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/02/resignation-of-pope-benedict.html.).

The first target of Satan is the priests and bishops because a priest or a bishop do not go to heaven alone nor to hell alone. Three years before ‘Humanae Vitae’ was published, Saint Michael the Archangel at Garabandal, sent by Our Lady, (Spain, 1965) said: “Many Cardinals, many Bishops and many Priests are on the road to perdition and with them they are bringing many souls”!

LET US PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTS AND BISHOPS that they might live their great vocation, with such great responsibility, to the fullest, ready to give their lives for the souls entrusted to them as the Good Shepherd (Jn 10:11), by offering the whole integral Truth of God, not the easy “truth” of the world, whose prince is Satan (Jn 12:31; 14:30)!!! There was a great rebellion against Pope Paul VI’s encyclical, ‘Humanae Vitae’! ‘Humanae Vitae’ explained clearly that the use of artificial birth control, or natural birth control not for grave motives, is a grave, mortal sin. The contraceptive mentality led to egoism instead of altruism and thus very quickly to divorce, abortion, abandoned children, euthanasia, living together, same-sex unions and the rapid decline of our society.

Father Joseph Dwight

P.s.

There is less prayer than ever before, more sin than ever before, even worse, indifference as if sin no longer exists, and so we have given much greater power to “the father of lies”, Satan (Jn 8:44). In particular Satan has more power to “disguise himself as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14), to offer his very deadly beautiful lies as if they were the “truth that sets us free” (Jn 8:32)!

Thus it is very important in these times of great confusion, when even Catholic bishops are no longer in agreement about the fundamentals of our faith and morals, to not only pray much and to study the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults, but to keep our eyes open so as not to fall into the beautiful lies of Satan presented as if they were the Truth!

Appendix:

Here is the “Renewal of Commitment to Priestly Service” from the liturgy of the Chrism Mass:

RENEWAL OF COMMITMENT TO PRIESTLY SERVICE

After the homily the bishop speaks to the priests in these or similar words:

“My brothers, today we celebrate the memory of the first Eucharist, at which our Lord Jesus Christ shared with his apostles and with us his call to the priestly service of his Church. Now, in the presence of your bishop and God’s holy people, are you ready to renew your own dedication to Christ as priests of his new covenant?

Priests: I am.

Bishop: “At your ordination you accepted the responsibilities of the priesthood out of love for the Lord Jesus and his Church. Are you resolved to unite yourselves more closely to Christ and to try to become more like him by joyfully sacrificing your own pleasure and ambition to bring his peace and love to your brothers and sisters?”

Priests: I am.

Bishop: “Are you resolved to be faithful ministers of the mysteries of God, to celebrate the Eucharist and the other liturgical services with sincere devotion? Are you resolved to imitate Jesus Christ, the head and shepherd of the Church, by teaching the Christian faith without thinking of your own profit, solely for the well-being of the people you were sent to serve?”

Priests: I am.

I’m not convinced that Fra Cristoforo is to be believed. This rumor (of the oath) has been floating around for a couple of months now. It is so outlandish, I don’t see it happening.

Who knows what the future holds, but this possibility seems too far fetched. I think the great schism or spit happened with the Protestant Revolution, or Deformation as some call it. No need to look for a future event. Even the title reveals the author’s bias, i.e. the disrespectful referring to Pope Francis as Bergoglio.

Sounds like a demand to take an oath to the anti-Christ or be punished.

Only make oaths to Jesus. Popes are just men with a special position of leadership in service to Jesus. There have been holy, as well as evil popes in the past.

I don’t know about Fra Cristoforo, but I do know that the claim of the “Holy Eucharist being taken away in all the public Catholic churches in the world by way of a mandatory invalid ecumenical mass” is false.

http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2017/11/07/the-ecumenical-mass-idea-may-be-dead-but-what-comes-next/

Have some faith in your church, Catholics! Satan himself couldn’t defeat the Catholic mass; Pope Francis sure isn’t going to.

1) Obedience to the office of the pope is not obedience to Bergoglio.
2) Sedevancantism is heretical. (As long as Benedict XVI lives, I’d argue that it’s not sedevacantist to claim that Francis is an anti-pope.)
3) Do you believe more in the Catholic Church, or Fra Cristoforo’s unfounded claims?

Actually, it is not so far fetched.

Since it appears that we are living in the end times and that there's the very real possibility that the antichirst is on the scene somewhere, the false prophet would also be.

It would make PERFECT sense for them to demand fidelity and in Revelation, there's reference to the mark of the beast being needed to buy or sell.

That said, it's not like there hasn't been precedent for this in the past.

Pope Pius IX, Amantissimus: “There are other, almost countless, proofs drawn from the most trustworthy witnesses which clearly and openly testify with great faith, exactitude, respect and obedience that all who want to belong to the true and only Church of Christ must honor and obey this Apostolic See and Roman Pontiff." Pope Pius IX, Amantissimus (On The Care Of The Churches), Encyclical promulgated on April 8, 1862, # 3.
http://www.ewtn.com/library/ENCYC/P9AMANT2.HTM

Pope Pius IX (1846–1878), Encyclical Singulari Quidem March 17, 1856): “There is only one true, holy, Catholic Church, which is the Apostolic Roman Church. There is only one See founded on Peter by the word of the Lord, outside of which we cannot find either true faith or eternal salvation. He who does not have the Church for a mother cannot have God for a father, and whoever abandons the See of Peter on which the Church is established trusts falsely that he is in the Church. (On the Unity of the Catholic Church)
http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius09/p9singul.htm

Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos: Furthermore, in this one Church of Christ no man can be or remain who does not accept, recognize and obey the authority and supremacy of Peter and his legitimate successors. Did not the ancestors of those who are now entangled in the errors of Photius [the eastern “Orthodox” schismatics] and the reformers, obey the Bishop of Rome, the chief shepherd of souls?...Let none delude himself with obstinate wrangling. For life and salvation are here concerned...” Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, PTC:873) The Promotion of True Religious Unity), 11, Encyclical promulgated on January 6, 1928, #11;
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xi/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xi_enc_19280106_mortalium-animos_en.html

Fifth Lateran Council: Moreover, since subjection to the Roman pontiff is necessary for salvation for all Christ's faithful, as we are taught by the testimony of both sacred scripture and the holy fathers, and as is declared by the constitution of pope Boniface VIII of happy memory, also our predecessor, which begins Unam sanctam, we therefore...renew and give our approval to that constitution... Fifth Lateran CouncilSession 11, 19 December 1516,
http://www.piar.hu/councils/ecum18.htm

St. Thomas Aquinas: It is also shown that to be subject to the Roman Pontiff is necessary for salvation. For Cyril says in his Thesaurus: “Therefore, brethren, if we imitate Christ so as to hear his voice remaining in the Church of Peter and so as not be puffed up by the wind of pride, lest perhaps because of our quarrelling the wily serpent drive us from paradise as once he did Eve.” And Maximus in the letter addressed to the Orientals [Greeks] says: “The Church united and established upon the rock of Peter’s confession we call according to the decree of the Savior the universal Church, wherein we must remain for the salvation of our souls and wherein loyal to his faith and confession we must obey him.” — St. Thomas Aquinas, Against the Errors of the Greeks, Pt. 2, ch. 36
http://dhspriory.org/thomas/ContraErrGraecorum.htm#b38

And last but not least.....

Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam: (Promulgated November 18, 1302) “We declare, say, define, and pronounce [ex cathedra] that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.”

"If, therefore, the Greeks or others say that they are not committed to Peter and to his successors, they necessarily say that they are not of the sheep of Christ, since the Lord says that there is only one fold and one shepherd (Jn.10:16). Whoever, therefore, resists this authority, resists the command of God Himself. " — Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam (Promulgated November 18, 1302)

Perhaps someone can tell me. Don’t Jesuits take an oath of allegiance to the Pope? Isn’t that why they are called the Pope’s soldiers? Wasn’t Bergoglio a Jesuit? Didn’t the Jesuits bring Liberation Theology to the New World and to Argentina in particular?

Don't buy it.

Even though I regard myself as part of the great falling away (this is my second Lent as a Non-Catholic) and am feeling a lot of anti-papal, anti-prelate sentiments right now I still can't regard this particular source as credible.

BTW, I'm still looking for a new denomination. If anyone has any suggestions I'm probably willing to check it out. My only requirements at this time are: Weekly communion (and "This is my body, this is my blood" refers to unleavened bread and wine, not vanilla wafers and grape juice), tolerance for belief in theistic evolution, no use of parishioner donations to pay court settlements against clergy, no Arianism, no Adventist/End Times preaching and NO SNAKES.

I think we will see soon enough. In the article at the end there is the exact formula used for centuries that the priest say: RENEWAL OF COMMITMENT TO PRIESTLY SERVICE.
Let us see what will be used, during Holy Week, and to read carefully is there is a difference, a renewal to Christ or ...???

We will all be lucky if it’s as overt as a public pledge.

THE “PROPHECY” OF SAINT FRANCIS:
Shortly before he died (1226), St. Francis of Assisi called together his brothers and warned them of future tribulations, saying:

1. Brothers act with strength and firmness in waiting for the Lord. A period of great tribulations and afflictions in which great dangers and temporal and spiritual discomforts will occur; the charity of many will grow cold, and the malice of the wicked will abound.

2. The power of the demons will be greater than usual, the immaculate purity of our religious community and of others, will wither to the point that very few Christians will want to obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with a sincere heart and perfect charity. At the decisive moment of this crisis, a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate, will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error.

3. While the scandals will multiply, our religious congregation will be divided among others which will be completely destroyed, because their members will not oppose but will consent to error.

4. There will be such diversity of opinions and divisions among the people and among the religious and the clergy that if those evil days were not shortened, as foretold by the Gospel, even the elect would fall into error (if possible) (Mt 24:24), if in such a storm they were not protected by the immense mercy of God.

5. Then our Rule and our manner of life will be violently attacked by some. Terrible temptations will arise. Those who will overcome the great trial will receive the crown of life. Woe to the lukewarm ones who will place all of their hope in the religious life, without firmly resisting the temptations permitted for the proving of the elect.

6. Those who in spiritual fervor will embrace piety with charity and zeal for the truth, will suffer persecutions and insults as if they were schismatics and disobedient. Because their persecutors, urged on by the evil spirits, will say that in this way they render a great honor to God in killing and removing from the face of the earth such pestilent men. But the Lord will be the refuge of the afflicted and He will save them, because they hoped in Him. And then in order to respect their Head, they will act according to the Faith and they will chose to obey God rather than men, gaining for themselves eternal life; they will fear nothing, and they will prefer to die rather than consent to error and perfidy.

7. Some preachers will keep silent about the truth and, denying the truth, they will trample upon the truth. The sanctity of life will be held in derision by those who only profess it outwardly, and for this reason Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a worthy Pastor, but a destroyer.
