Pope Francis says to vote for lesser of two evils, and we know abortion is the real evilThe pontiff insisted abortion and deportation are equally evil, but the lesser evil principle requires voting against the candidate who would do the most harm.(Population Research Institute) — I have long regarded this papacy as a kind of penance.From its sacrifice of the Underground Church in China to its suppression of the Latin Mass, from its dalliance with Masonry to its relentless sermonizing about climate change and our collective sins, it has at times seemed to be nothing more than a collection of...

Pope Francis says deliberately opposing migration ‘is a grave sin’Pope Francis condemned efforts to regulate immigration, stating that those who “systemically” work to “repel migrants” are committing a “grave sin.”Leaving aside his series of catechetical addresses, Pope Francis today used his Wednesday audience to address the topic of immigration. “I would like to pause with you to think about the people who – even at this moment – are crossing seas and deserts to reach a land where they can live in peace and safety,” he opened.‘A grave sin’Using the themes of “seas and deserts,” Francis stated that both seas...

Lessons about Francis (The Destroyer) from St. Robert Bellarmine’s Objections to ProtestantsAs one indication, among many, that Francis has convinced most rational observers of his heterodoxy, it is worth noting that he has developed quite a following with the Babylon Bee, a Christian satirical website, as we can see from recent articles:December 11, 2023: “The Catholic Church announced this week Pope Francis has excommunicated the Apostle Paul over the latter's outdated views on women, families, and social issues.”November 12, 2023: “Pope Francis has officially sacked Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas for being ‘way too Catholic.’”October 3, 2023: “Pope Francis...

[Catholic Caucus] Archbishop Viganò: Swiss guards should arrest Bergoglio and Fernandez, expel them from the Vatican'The Swiss Guards have sworn to defend the See of Peter, not the one who is systematically demolishing it.

The Growing Need to Condemn Vatican II’s Errors So We Can Combat Francis’s Heresies“To promote ecumenism means signing a treaty of non-aggression, granting all religions citizenship in the great pantheon of creeds. The only commandment is the exclusion of exclusivity: freedom for all in all things, except for those who believe in the truth.” (Fr. Dominique Bourmaud, One Hundred Years of Modernism Francis is obviously a non-Catholic man who seeks to do as much damage as possible to the Catholic Church. Understandably, this reality leads many sincere Catholics to insist that he cannot possibly be a true pope. As Archbishop...

Corporate media outlets are running salacious headlines that Pope Francis is now allowing “priests to bless same-sex relationships.” The implication from the media is that the Catholic Church has made a “radical” reversal on its stance that marriage is between one man and one woman. This is factually untrue. On Monday, the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith released a “Declaration ‘Fiducia Supplicans’ On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings.” In the declaration, the Vatican first reaffirms that marriage is the “exclusive, stable, and indissoluble union between a man and a woman, naturally open to the generation of children.”...

Robert Royal and Fr. Gerald Murray discuss a new document — Fiducia supplicans — that came out today from the Dicastery on the Doctrine of the Faith, and approved by Pope Francis, that seeks to “broaden” and “enrich” the concept of “blessing” in the Church. This innovation, its seems, will even permit blessings for “same-sex couples” — just as long as they don’t give the impression of being the equivalent of traditional marriage.
