Bergoglio Opens His Mouth at The Angelus and Convicts Himself of Hypocrisy
Vox Cantoris ^ | February 12, 2017 | Vox Cantoris

Posted on 02/13/2017 1:30:56 AM PST by BlessedBeGod

Gosh, I leave the house for Church and I come home and look what I find.  

Adultery was considered a violation of a man’s property right over [his] woman. 
Did you know that adultery is a considered, "a violation of  man's property rights over his woman?" Can a man not commit adultery. Did God not declare Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery because it violated His Law and our well-being? What kind of heretical is this coming from the mouth of a Pope or any Christian!

He then warns everyone not to insult.
“Insulting: we are used to insulting, it is like saying, ‘Good morning.’ And that is on the same line as killing. Anyone who insults his brother kills his brother in his heart. Please, do not insult!
To which we can add, "Physician, heal thyself."

And speaking of "Let your yes be yes and your no be no" and that "anything more is from the evil one," how's that dubia answer coming along?

What a "fomenter of coprophagia" and "self-absorbed, Promethean, neo-Pelagian," a true "rigid," "rosary counter."

Someone get a straight jacket.

Pope Francis at Angelus: Meditation on Fulfilment of the Law

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis prayed the Angelus with pilgrims and tourists gathered in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday. In remarks ahead of the traditional prayer of Marian devotion, the Holy Father offered a meditation on the Gospel reading for this Sunday, taken from the 5th chapter of Gospel according to St. Matthew, in which Our Lord says:

Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.

Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven. I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Reflecting on the passage, Pope Francis said:

Today's liturgy presents us with another page of the Sermon on the Mount, which we find in the Gospel of Matthew (cf. 5:17-37). In this passage, Jesus wants to help his listeners to achieve a reinterpretation of the Mosaic law. What was said in the Old Covenant was true, but it was not all: Jesus came to fulfill and to enact definitively the law of God, down to the last iota (cf. Mt. 5:18). He manifests the Law’s original purposes and He fulfills its authentic aspects – and He does all this by His preaching and even more by offering Himself on the Cross. So, Jesus teaches how to do the will of God fully – and  He uses this expression: with a “justice superior” to that of the scribes and Pharisees (cf. Mt. 5: 20) – a justice animated  by love, charity, mercy, and therefore capable of realizing the substance of the commandments, avoiding the risk of formalism.

“Formalism,” continued Pope Francis, departing from his prepared text. “This I can do, that I cannot: up to here I can, up to here, I cannot.”

“No,” said Pope Francis, “more, more.”

The second moment of Pope Francis’ reflection concerned the second part of the Gospel reading – again from the 5th Chapter of St. Matthew’s Gospel, in which Jesus says to His disciples:

You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raqa,’ will be answerable to the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.

You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna.

It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife -  unless the marriage is unlawful - causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Again you have heard that it was said to your ancestors, Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow. But I say to you, do not swear at all; not by heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. Let your 'Yes' mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil one.

Pope Francis continued his reflection, saying:

In particular, in [this Sunday’s] Gospel, Jesus examines three aspects, three commandments: murder, adultery and oath-swearing.

With regard to the commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” He affirms that it is violated not only by actual homicide, but also by those behaviors, which offend the dignity of the human person, including insulting words (cf. Mt. 5:22). Certainly, these injurious words do not have the same gravity and sinfulness of killing, but they are placed on the same line, because they are the premises of the more serious acts and they reveal the same malevolence. Jesus invites us not to establish a schedule [It. graduatoria] of offenses, but to consider them all harmful, insofar as they are all moved by the intention to do harm to one’s neighbor.

“Jesus gives the example,” Pope Francis went on to say, once again departing from his prepared text. “Insulting: we are used to insulting, it is like saying, ‘Good morning.’ And that is on the same line as killing. Anyone who insults his brother kills his brother in his heart. Please, do not insult! We earn nothing by doing so.” Pope Francis then returned to his prepared text, and continued with his reflection:

Another fulfillment is made to marriage law. Adultery was considered a violation of a man’s property right over [his] woman. Jesus, however, goes to the root of the evil. Just as one comes to murder through injuries, offenses, and insults, so one comes to adultery through intentions of possession with respect to a woman other than one’s wife.

Adultery, like theft, corruption and all other sins, are first conceived in our hearts and, once the wrong choice is made in the heart, they are actuated in concrete behavior. And Jesus says:

Again departing from his prepared text, Pope Francis continued, “He who looks with a possessing spirit at a woman who is not his own is an adulterer in his heart, he has begun to go down the road to adultery. Let us think a little on this: on the bad thoughts that are in this line.”

The Holy Father then turned his attention to the swearing of oaths:

Jesus then tells his disciples not to swear oaths, because the oath is a sign of insecurity and duplicity with which human relations are conducted. Oath-swearing exploits the authority of God to give assurance to our human affairs. Rather we are called to establish among ourselves, in our families and in our communities, a climate of clarity and mutual trust, so that we can be considered honest without resorting to higher interventions in order to be believed. Mistrust and mutual suspicion always threaten serenity!

Before leading the faithful in the Angelus, Pope Francis prayed that Our Lady – a woman of docile listening and obedience – might help us all to pause and spend more time with the Gospel, that we might be Christians not merely in appearance but in substance. “This,” said Francis, “is possible with the grace of the Holy Spirit, who permits us to do everything with love, and so to fulfill the will of God.”

If Matthew chapter five means anything it means that the Torah, in its entirety, is to be observed, right up to the end of time. The Church decided to treat it as a buffet, where we can pick and choose the commandments we want, according to how we are feeling at the time. The Torah is perfect ( read Psalm 119). It is a unity
, and rejection of a single commandment removes a link and breaks the chain of righteousness. Eventually, what follows is a total system failure. There is no remedy within the context of Christianity. One must return to the Torah and walk it out just as the Nazarine walked it. You will come to know loneliness, but you’ll be in good company.

I am so firmly against speaking for my most cherished DrO who's been gone from me for almost 3 years, that I literally sit on my hands whenever the subject is Bergoglio, but I'm going to make an exception today, because I can actually feel his disgust and sorrow .

He wasn't a fan of this pope but he didn't completely share my dim view, indignation, disillusionment or ire either. I think he would now.

Jesus is either the Messiah of Israel or he’s a fraud. If he’s a fraud, he shouldn’t be followed at all. If he’s the Messiah of Israel, even some of your own sages say that the ceremonial law (e.g., kashrut and most of the Temple sacrifices) are abrogated in the Messianic Age.

I remember when religious and spiritual leaders used to talk about the Gospel. How quaint. So old fashion. /sarcasm.

If one takes all that he says regarding adultery, I'm not seeing a problem (other than the fact that he contradicts himself in Amoris Latitia).

Am I missing something here?

1. where does the Torah delinate 'ceremonial law' versus the rest of it?

2. what does the Torah say about kashrut and sacrifices?

Why do the rabbis themselves say that all sacrifices except one are abrogated in the messianic age?

Note that in the Torah there are a lot of situations where one is supposed to take one kind of animal or other to the Priest at the Tent of Meeting. Where is the Tent of Meeting Today?

The fact is that Yeshua Ha’Mashiach (Jesus Christ) came 2000 years, as we count them, ago and fulfilled the first part of the Messianic prophecies. The Torah is not written on the hearts of those who believe in Him and follow his Commandments.

With believers, there is no Jew or Greek, etc. Now, for the non-believing Jews, the “two days” are almost over (Hosea 6:1-3). after they call on His name, He will come again and raise them up for that third day.

BTW, the Tent of Meeting today is where two or more are gathered together in Jesus’ name.

OK. now the problem is, where does this come from? because the scriptures dont seem to say that. a five minute scripture search says this:

Jeremiah 33
17 For this is what the Lord says: ‘David will never fail to have a man to sit on the throne of Israel, 18 nor will the Levitical priests ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.’ ”

Numbers 15
15 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a statute forever throughout your generations. You and the sojourner shall be alike before the Lord.

Jesus specifically said
Matthew 5:18
For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

it looks to me like either this rabbi is wrong, or Jesus (and the scriptures) are wrong.
