Editors’ Notes
On 17th September, Francis “tripled-down” on his statement about all religions being “a path to arrive at God.” The text only appears to have been released today. The key text is:
We need to keep meeting, to weave bonds of fraternity and to allow ourselves to be guided by the divine inspiration present in every faith, in order to join in “imagining peace” among all peoples. We need such “occasions to speak with one another and to act together for the common good and the promotion of the poor”.
In a world at risk of being fragmented by conflicts and wars, the efforts made by believers are invaluable for holding out visions of peace and fostering fraternity and peace among peoples everywhere. (Emphasis added)
No doubt some will quibble about the meaning of this text, and explain it away.
But it is completely clear what he means from the context of the last few weeks, and the last few years, and the last few decades.
The ideas expressed in Francis’ address were condemned in advance by the pre-conciliar popes and the whole of the Catholic religion. For instance, here is Pope St Pius X in Pascendi:
“Do we inquire concerning inspiration? Inspiration, they reply, is distinguished only by its vehemence from that impulse which stimulates the believer to reveal the faith that is in him by words or writing. It is something like what happens in poetical inspiration, of which it has been said: There is God in us, and when he stirreth he sets us afire. And it is precisely in this sense that God is said to be the origin of the inspiration of the Sacred Books.
“The Modernists affirm, too, that there is nothing in these books which is not inspired. In this respect some might be disposed to consider them as more orthodox than certain other moderns who somewhat restrict inspiration, as, for instance, in what have been put forward as tacit citations. But it is all mere juggling of words. For if we take the Bible, according to the tenets of agnosticism, to be a human work, made by men for men, but allowing the theologian to proclaim that it is divine by immanence, what room is there left in it for inspiration?
“General inspiration in the Modernist sense it is easy to find, but of inspiration in the Catholic sense there is not a trace.” (Pascendi, No. 22)
Pope Pius XI wrote in Mortalium Animos (1928):
“Certainly such attempts can nowise be approved by Catholics, founded as they are on that false opinion which considers all religions to be more or less good and praiseworthy, since they all in different ways manifest and signify that sense which is inborn in us all, and by which we are led to God and to the obedient acknowledgment of His rule.
“Not only are those who hold this opinion in error and deceived, but also in distorting the idea of true religion they reject it, and little by little, turn aside to naturalism and atheism, as it is called; from which it clearly follows that one who supports those who hold these theories and attempt to realize them, is altogether abandoning the divinely revealed religion.”
This is pure naturalism, and apostasy, for the reasons discussed here:

How did this simple fool ever get to be pope. Satan is laughing heartily at every pronouncement.
The clouds part. Silence fills the air. Someone flatulates. Pope Stupid the First Speaketh.
I imagine the faithful need to pray more and more people need to be faithful.
At present we are behaving like the ungrateful God rescued in Exodus, and I fear similar repercussions.
From the old SNL - Could he be.....Satan?
Has this Pope ever promoted Christ?
I think they found the next Dalai Lama, or is it the grand imam? For Christ’s sake, Frankie, snap out of it.
Yes, even Pastafarians, those colander-wearing faithful adherents.
Francis is guided by rectal gas.
Heresy, blasphemy, apostacy.
Paul's letter to the Galatians was authoritative and unambiguous. Jorge Mario Bergoglio is teaching a false gospel that is antithetical to the Gospel of Christ. It is anti-Christian, and Bergoglio is therefore an Antichrist -- and no one's "holy father." On the basis of holy Scripture, let him be accursed.
So I guess Christ didn’t have to die. Who knew?
He’s in Biden territory.
He is not a simple fool. He is a full on marxist commie and the over riding faith of all commies is to infest every single organization and take it over.
I bet he supports that lesbian queer “pastor” who says Jesus would take women to abortion clinics to kill their babies.
