Pope Francis has declared war on faithful Catholics

Pope Francis has declared war on faithful Catholics

For Christians, Lent is a season of repentance. But for some radical leftists in America, it’s been an opportunity for sacrilege.

On Ash Wednesday 2024, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, “America’s Parish Church,” was thronged with the faithful, seeking ashes of repentance.

But the following day, the same hallowed space was desecrated by the sacrilegious clamor of a thousand God-hating radicals.

As the coffin of “Cecilia” Gentili, a self-styled “whore” drag queen, was carried down the aisle, the godless crowds proclaimed him as the: “Great whore, St. Cecilia, the Mother of All Whores.

And as this cry echoed from the consecrated walls of the cathedral, where countless Masses have been offered, a priest of Jesus Christ gave the silence of his consent and, worse yet, joked with the anti-Christian throng.

This blasphemous event saddened me to my core… 

But I was not surprised.

Tomorrow, March 13, it will be eleven years since a corrupt group of cardinals, calling themselves the “St. Gallen Mafia,” succeeded in their plot to prop up a man of their choice in a conclave without a proper appreciation of that cardinal’s stances.

When Francis appeared on the loggia that night, many were disturbed.

Shortly after the St. Patrick’s scandal hit the news, a friend of “Cecilia” made a statement to the press. He cited Francis as justification for the sacrilege that took place.

“We are caught in the middle of a war” between Francis and Catholics who oppose him, he said. And he was right.

Francis has declared war on faithful Catholics.

LifeSiteNews was at the forefront of honest coverage of the bombshell of Fiducia Supplicans. This wicked document, penned by an archbishop-author of erotic literature, paved the way for the desecration at St. Patrick’s Cathedral when it “permitted” sacrilegious same-sex blessings.

I was only engaging in hyper dulia, not adoring her. Can't you tell the difference?

It's obvious that you can't tell the difference. It's hyperdulia; not hyper dulia.

Look it up before you continue to look like a fool.

Oh, you mean "from Latin hyper- + Medieval Latin dulia service" must be rendered as one word (thus highschool as well?) because it means something different when not rendered as one word ("you can't tell the difference") and makes one look like a fool? That conclusion makes one look foolish.

Yes, hyperdulia is warranted, but not because hyper dulia means something different. Yet some people are hyper-sensitive to anything that impugns Catholic hyper-dulia/hyperdulia.

Nonetheless, I actually do appreciate the critique since I will use hyperdulia in the future, at least since some Catholics actually say hyper dulia means something different than hyper-dulia/hyperdulia.

I wasn’t commenting about your intelligence.

Which reflects your intelligence, since that you were indeed commenting about my intelligence. As does arguing that since Catholics does not describe their hyper-veneration of Mary as latria but only hyperdulia then they cannot be said to be worshiping her ("it can only look and sound like we are").

Meanwhile, as said, imagining that there is a difference in meaning btwn hyper dulia and hyperdulia - and which makes one look like a fool - negatively reflects your intelligence. You should have simply stated that the proper spelling is hyperdulia. And perhaps that the proper use of compound words should be learned in high school (not highschool).

You could have also added that the Oxford University Dictionary finds that in English,

The earliest known use of the noun hyperdulia is in the mid 1500s.
OED's earliest evidence for hyperdulia is from 1531, in the writing of William Tyndale, translator of the Bible and religious reformer. (https://aleteia.org/2023/10/20/understanding-veneration-in-catholicism/)

* From Medieval Latin hyperdūlīa, from hyper-, from Ancient Greek ὑπέρ (hupér, “above”) + dūlīa, from Ancient Greek δουλείᾱ (douleíā, “slavery”), from δοῦλος (doûlos, “slave”)
