Fiducia Supplicans (and the drama surrounding blessings for same-sex unions) is just one of many instances of Francis encouraging sinners to remain in their sins because Jesus "accepts them as they are.” Francis is Hell’s Thief because he uses his reputed position as the supreme authority of the Catholic Church to rob souls of the mercy that Our Lord wants to offer them if they repent. In this way, Satan uses Francis and his collaborators to stymie those who would imitate the Good Thief.

If Francis is correct, the entire Catholic religion is a completely wicked farce for having misled souls for two-thousand years. And if the Church is a farce, then we cannot escape the conclusion that Jesus is as well. Accordingly, those who defend Francis are at least indirectly mocking Our Lord.

With Francis, though, it is not merely a matter of his insisting that sinners can remain obstinate in their sins, even those sins that “cry out to Heaven for vengeance.” That would of course be bad enough, but the matter is far worse: by discrediting the clear teachings of Jesus and the Church on these most fundamental matters impacting the salvation of souls, Francis undermines the entire religion. He places himself among those jeering Our Lord from the foot of the Cross. And, because Francis actually has every reason to know what he is doing, Our Lord’s words of excuse do not apply to him.
