To: Iscool; ebb tide
It's a common problem I encounter here at FR: people who natter on as if they understand something about Catholicism, going at details with a tweezers without the tiniest clue about the Behemoth and Leviathan-size context.

This pretty much illustrates it--- from the beginning to about 1:08. It's worth your minute and 8 seconds.

"...wish to reiterate my and our fidelity to the Pope, the Catholic Apostolic Roman Church and its eternal teaching."

"...and its eternal teaching," no some goddamned (not being profane here, being literal) "New Paradigm" or "Open Church" or other jargon from the present, lamentable pope's Modernist/Peronist agenda.

The Count's fidelity is to the Church, not to the Bergoglian Controlled Demolition project.

"...our wish to invoke the whole celestial militia to defend the Catholic Church."

He's invoking a celestial militia to defend the Church from what? From the spiritual Enemy who threatens to swallow up both Pope and Church.

Biggest indicator: this whole demonstration is to "exorcise" and "expel the diabolical spirit from the Vatican," which cannot possibly be interpreted as a gesture of confidence that the Vatican is, at present, on a wholesome course.

A little more context: The Sept. 28 Acies Ordinata was the second gathering to be held in Rome. The first was held ahead of the Vatican clerical sex abuse summit in February, to “oppose the Vatican’s policy of silence about homosexuality."

So it's paired with a previous action expressing public "opposition" to disastrous Vatican policies.

"Roberto de Mattei, historian and founder of the Rome-based Lepanto Foundation; organizer of the Acies Ordinata..." One of the most important and visible opponents of the wayward course of the Bergoglio pontificate, features in many articles put up in the Religion Forum by ebb tide.

I don't expect you to be a maven of Catholic insider baseball, but you do know how to do a Free Republic search?

Your assessment diverges 180o away from reality--- and to anyone who's paying attention, ludicrously so, like saying the Normandy invasion was coming to the assistance of Heinrich Himmler.

Sincerely, you should ask about these things before you sally forth to make pronouncements about them.

Now that's funny...Perhaps you shouldn't post articles that say one thing but mean just the opposite to those that are 'in the know'...And to suggest I should search the internet to find out why your article is misleading to those who are not Catholic is silly...

I really don't care one way or the other...I was just trying to figure out whose side this group was on...There seems to be a number of devout Catholics on both sides...
