Fratelli Tutti: Bergoglios Ideology of Brotherhood
Francis new encyclical "Fratelli Tutti" is the ideological manifesto of Bergoglism writes the Italian journalist Marcello Veneziani who is not a Catholic. For him, Fratelli Tutti is not theology but ideology imbued with moralism. Francis is interested in a universal citizenship, in welcoming immigration, and environmentalism. His enemies are nationalism, populism and liberalism. The coronavirus contagion is attributed to environmental degradation. His Saint Clare is Greta Thunberg, Veneziani writes.
Not A Christian Brotherhood
Veneziani identifies the theme of brotherhood as the heart of the encyclical but he points out that Francis brotherhood refers to the motto of the French Revolution: Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Francis even uses this revolutionary triad several times. Veneziani calls it "the centre of the secular thought which is historically opposed to the Church".
Stimulated By the Great Imam
According to Veneziani, Francis seeks a place for a post-Christian Church in secular modernity in the name of brotherhood. Francis believes that the principle of brotherhood has been neglected in this world. He, therefore, stresses it and seeks inspiration also from other religions, for instance, from Islam. He writes in the encyclical: "I felt stimulated in a special way by the Great Imam Ahmin Al Tayyeb."
Brotherhood Without a Father
Francis signed Fratelli Tutti in Assisi but Venezani stresses that Francis brotherhood has little to do with the brotherhood of Saint Francis of Assisi. The reason: Saint Francis referred his brotherhood to God Father, while Francis advocates a universal brotherhood with no reference to the Father. Francis interpreter and megaphone at Civiltà Cattolica, Jesuit Father Antonio Spadaro, translates this into a call for global citizenship without borders. Veneziani warns that historically every brotherhood without a Father degenerates into fratricide or reduces itself to mere rhetoric. For Francis "the supreme law is brotherly love", for St. Francis, the supreme love is God.
Ping
Pope Francis is definitely not Catholic.
Red Francis the Talking Ass is a Communist whose enemies are Individual Liberty, Free Markets and Human Nature.
His allies are Xi Pooh, Marx and the Devil.
i measure him by the measure that is John Paul II. He measures woefully short.
My suggestion would be to put in on the stack with the others.... for "rainy day" reading...
Homogenizing other folks' heritage against their will is the ultimate attack on human liberty.
Tutti Fruiti..Little Richard had a better grasp on it.
No kidding! How many times have we seen this thing?
No more mileage that what you're getting out of the heretic, Biden-Bishop Barron.
C'mon Man !!
I'm talking repetition here... I enjoy your posts.. it's just sometimes the needle seems to get stuck...
Peace..

But that's not what your hero, BidenBishop Barron, a Jorge lapdog, is recommending:
Thats his job ... he has to believe in that stuff..... our job is to play along.....
Right, just like:
"We have to pass the (Obamacare) bill before you can see what's in it."
Nancy Pelosi, a franciscatholic, not unlike Biden Bishop Barron.
