Fruitti Tutti - Let The Penitential Slog Begin

The pope released his latest 45,000-word tome today.  It's called "Fratelli Tutti".  That link is to the English version on the Vatican website.  Others have already started to wade through it and their reports reveal it to be a hot mess of freemasonry, envirowhackosim, one-world government nonsense, etc.

In the third paragraph, the pope twists the narrative of St Francis of Assisi's meeting with the sultan.  He claims that the saint's "openness of heart..transcended differences of religion".  Nothing could be further from the truth.  He went to preach Jesus Christ and the One True Faith to the Moslems.  To understand that the Catholic Church is the One True Church is to acknowledge that other religions are false.  In paragraph 5, he sings the praises of his own lapse into religious indifferentism a few months ago.  Notice that the title of my post mentions the accolades that this blunder of the pope got from the masons.  There is much in Fruitti Tutti that is obviously masonic.

The next few paragraphs contain blather in vague language, but clear enough that one can detect the pope's detest of the free market system - a system that has actually lifted more people out of poverty than all the other sorts.

However, we get to paragraphs 37-41, where the pope adopts the progressive habit of conflating the topics of lawful immigration versus border-crashers.  This is patently dishonest.  To portray good people who are opposed to having to bear the financial brunt of border crashers as heartless xenophobes is nothing short of slanderous.

I am now just examining this thing and don't have time just now to read this entire verbose monstrosity.  I will return to this in future posts, but suggest you have a look for yourselves.  The link is in the first paragraph.  I will point out some highlights I noticed while I skimmed it.

• Paragraphs 119-120 are a thinly-disguised attack on the concept of private property.  He fails - or refuses to see that the right to private property is an adjunct to the right to life itself.
• Following those paragraphs we see an attack on the concept of national borders.
• Paragraphs 172-173 are an attempt to insinuate the concept of one-world government.
• Paragraph 263 repeats the erroneous call to end the death penalty.  Therefore it is heretical on its face, most likely rendering Fruitti Tutti to be heresy.
• Chapter 8's title starts with "Religion at the Service of Fraternty.."  Stop right there!  That is NOT the purpose of religion - at least not the One True Religion.  Its purpose is to worship God and facilitate eternal salvation.  Fraternity can only come about when people are united in faith in Jesus Christ as revealed through His Church.  Anything else is a cheap, sentimental facade of the same.  But maybe there is a reason why "fraternity" is being elevated to the level of de facto idol!

Paragraph 103 starts a section entitled "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity".  That phrase will send chills down the spine of anyone knowledgeable about modern history, namely, of the French revolution.  Its motto was Liberté, Unité, Égalité.  How many thousands went to the guillotine in the names of those so-called ideals?  Surely the pope and his ghost-writers cannot be so ignorant of that history, can they?  Or is the pope giving some tacit acknowledgment to freemasonry?  Even the masons themselves will acknowledge their role in the French Revolution. Recall how they applauded that agreement that the pope signed with the muslim leader a few months back.

As I meander through this verbose gobblygoop, I will have more to say.  Suffice it to say that we must continue to pray our Rosaries and beg Our Lady to join us as we intercede for the Church.

It is at time like this that you ask if the Pope ever attended catechism classes.

You bring up good points. He sure doesn’t mention Christ much, does he? He considers himself to be the ‘Vicar’ of God, but whose god is he talking about?

I scanned through the encyclical. Disappointed that there was no call to rally humanity around our only true chance for peace: acknowledging and bending our knee to Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Fratelli tutti seems to want Man to solve his own problems. Ain't gonna happen, per human history.

As I was going home from my organ duties at the LCMS church I belong to, I was listening to Relevant Radio (always wondering how the other half lives :> ), and the announcer was discussing this with a listener. His answer surprised me: the gist was that the church had supported the death penalty until Vatican II, then has slowly been moving away from that position, first JPII saying it was only to be in extreme cases, and now Francis saying never--but that eventually the church will return to its original position of the state having the authority to administer the death penalty. Relevant Radio usually isn't willing to dis the pope like that.

Am I the only one who sees this title and thinks “Tutti-Frutti”?

G Larry,

Re: “Tutti-Frutti”

I had the same thought/reaction, when a different article on this papal writing that was published here yesterday. And I’m NOT dyslexic.
