Thanks for continuing to stand up to OBVIOUS Evils
[obvious to the Faithful] in the Church, Anthony.
Demons would do to Christ [ meditate on His Crucifixion !]
and His Church and the Baptized what Francis & Co.
are doing to them today.
Yet, St.Catherine of Siena [ illiterate, during an ecstasy ]
was instructed from Heaven that: “Even if the Pope
were Satan incarnate, we ought not to raise up our
heads against him . . I know ever well that many
defend themselves by boasting: ‘They are so corrupt,
and work all manner of evil !’ But God has commanded
that, EVEN IF the Priests, the Pastors, and Christ-on-
Earth were incarnate Devils, WE ARE TO BE obedient
and subject to them, NOT FOR THEIR SAKES but
for the sake of God and out of obedience to
Him, the Sweet Christ.”
. . today a head-spinning mandate to baffle even the
holiest and most humble of the Faithful !
For cradle-Catholic prairie Grandpa [and Grandma]
here, St. Joseph and St. Michael —next to the
Queen of Heaven AND Earth —are: “TERROR
OF DEMONS” [ . . easily backed up by accounts
of Fr. Chad Ripperger’s exorcist sessions] .
Also, anyone who “fled to St. Joseph’s protection,
implored his help, or even sought his intercession”
was NEVER left unaided ! Inspired by this assurance,
we BEGIN each morning by consecrating ourselves
to St. Joseph, followed by the Chaplet of St. Michael.
” . . . Through your intercession with Jesus, grant me
a spirit of sacrifice, of humility, of self-denial AND an
intimate love for Jesus IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT.
A pure and tender love for Mary, my Mother, protect
and guard in me. St. Joseph, be with me living,
be with me dying . . ” no matter what anybody ELSE
says or does, doesn’t say or doesn’t do. Jorge and
Jimmy, you will NOT be allowed to have your
blinkers on forever !!
“He who wakes from slumber at the Spirit’s Voice,
Daring here to number THINGS UNSEEN, his choice:
He who casts his burden down at Jesus’ Cross —
Christ’s REPROACH [ is ] his reward, all else but loss.”
—St. John of Damascus, 8th century.
At Catherine so Sienna’s statement is a sentiment and aspiration to fidelity, but NOT A MANDATE, and taken literally, is a complete caricature. On the same basis, the Talking Beasts in Narnia are terrified to defy the ape Shift or denounce the truth that he’s seen a lion skin on a donkey which he pretends is Aslan.
“St” not “At” and “sewn” a lions skin not “seen”.
Me thinks thou must be a lawyer . . or a Phd literary scholar,
but literary analysis was furthest from my mind.
“Mandate” was used NOT as a legal term but as a way
of pointing to the impossibility for Modernists to conceive
of Catherine’s message as “a sentiment and aspiration to
FIDELITY” . . to the Faith and MORALS as found in the
“rigid” Deposit of Faith.
There’s a difference between being an evil pope and not being Catholic. The second disqualifies one from being a legitimate pope. No Buddhist monk or Islamic imam can be a pope, for the simple reason that they are not even members of the Church. This is a matter of natural law, not even canon law can change it.
