Among the disciples there was a judas, among the 37 antipopes in history there were many wicked bishops... the catholic church is both holy and sinful because of God and men respectively.

There are many questions on WEAKNESSES even among those popes who are saints today.

In the end God's will reigns NO matter what... Peter is a saint, but he was a traitor, Pious XII was awesome but in my eyes he was a coward, JPII was a rock star more than a pope sometimes... Benedict had his issues, all popes did, they were men...

BUT... they all had to come before the Lord and hear from Jesus 'Peter, do you love me?... Feed my sheep'

Jesus picked Judas, Benedict and all popes picked questionable and evil men, but WE are not God to know what were in their hearts at the time, and we don't know when Jesus told them those very words like he did with the 1st Peter during their pontificate.

Francis is a whole different story, he had been showing people how he is for long, his homilies reflect no teachings or love for tradition at all, if he had tried to teach what he preaches to the masses in a legal way, we wouldn't been having this conversation.

But don't worry, all popes somewhere down the line they had to respond to Jesus words or not, and I believe that He has called all post conciliar popes and they have responded... except Francis because of his fruits.

Bunini was dismissed by John XXIII, JPII gave the world the 4th luminous mystery, Paul VI wrote humane vitae and Benedict the motu propio, like many popes they had bad days and excellent days... but at least they didn't fall in material heresy, and this is going to happen with Francis and he'll show his true colors.

God bless you all.

@Rafał_Ovile

thanks, but I am not convinced.

@UNWORTHY:
It was Cardinal Ratzinger who promoted Bruno Forte (= the one responsible for the gay statements in the midterm report of the Synod of Bishops) and even consecrated him a bishops although everybody knew who Bruno Forte was and is. Why were such men promoted? Why was Marx promoted by Benedict XVI and made an archbishop and Cardinal? Why was Tagle promoted to Manila? Why was the notorious Kasper made a Cardinal? Almost none of the people who now are part of Pope Francis' lavender mafia were named by him.

I know you are addressing abramo: I jus want to clarify
When I wrote Benedict XVI: I mean he has hurt the seat of Peter by abdicating.
He should not have done so.

The rest of the show, continues as a result of his action.

Pope Benedict doesn't have his hands dirty in this piece of pure hell.

I needed to ask the question to abramo, MANY like to look the other way... and there's a large following of this destroyer, he has many cheering and praising like he is more than Apostle Peter and Christ himself.

Francis is the perpetrator, if Benedict has stayed quiet is because Francis hasn't fall into what theologians call material heresy, Benedict is the most smart person in the Vatican and there's enough proof that his abdication is not valid because of many factors which I'm not going to get into.

Benedict will have to say somethig next year, if he doesn't say anything when they aprove those lies from hell, then we could talk about him being a part of the problem...

The problem about 'some' here in gloria is that they like to go around the branches went the tree is the one causing this iniquity.

Sincerely, do you really think Kasper, Forte, baldisseri, Nichols, Wuerl, Schonborn matters? They are being allowed to do this, this is all Francis... and it really pains me that the destroyer, the one pushing the buttons can clean his hands like Pilate and the bad ones are the Bishops.

Mr Buchanan went straight to the problem, he didn't go to the branches, everyone behaves like 'dont touch the pope' when he is not the pope, he is the destroyer and he (francis) will prove how much of a false prophet he is,next year... to me he is not the pope as St Francis of Assisi has said so.

@UNWORTHY
I hope you will not consider this an attack against you. It is not..

I don`t think Abramo was/is giving cover to the Pope. I will continue, for example

when Abramo wrote in a post {those who want homosexualism and adultery hide behind the back of the Pope} then he continues how they do it note: {saying: If you are affirm the teaching of the Gospel on homosexuality and adultery than you are against the Pope.}

Abramo is just showing the depth of the sickness within the church. That is not a defense of the Pope but something else completely.
He has shown how those that hate God, are capitalizing on this Pope, and the opportunity before them.

This whole affair is very troubling. Father Blake alludes to it in his blog, which is also up here Was that why he was elected?

We are witnessing a RAPID weakening of the Authority of the Church Structure, by the Catholic faithful themselves.

This is the type of thing that in the end, can scandalize more souls, than ANY ABUSE ever could.
{ Hell would like that, and so would the Enemies of God`s Church} again take a look at Father Blake`s post

Dear Unworthy
I know you don`t want that: But you write with only one vision {Pope Francis is the destroyer mentioned by St. Francis} This I fear is causing you not to see what people are actually writing. Lets hope Pope Francis is not, but if so :you won`t have to keep selling it.
Those that have eyes will see it, and those that don`t never will.

There are few up here I suspect now, that don`t see the problem {at least on the surface}.
Pope Francis, and many in the Church, want to change the Church.

The Remnant has a bit to say on the subject here: We’ve Been Warned (Why the “Relatio” and the turmoil of the Synod should not surprise us) remnantnewspaper.com/…/1167-we-ve-been…

Pope Francis & Bendict XVI have done GREAT HARM to the Seat of Peter, and we need a miracle from Heaven to correct it.

OR we are in for a very rough ride , the sort of thing that you write of often.
If I did not shorten the days; Even the Elect would be lost.

May God be praised in His faithful servants.
peace Unworthy

Gloria.TV Thank you again for such a solid news block.
Hearing Mr. Buchannan`s through you, is a comfort on 2 levels. Your voice makes them much easier on the ears, and there is comfort in knowing that many people are paying attention & speaking out.

Pat Buchanan is not known, as suffering from the effeminate plague; that has enveloped many Catholic men in the Church today.

I'm asking Abramo, just a question.

All of the sudden is how the past Bishop of Poland said, 'Bishops bad, pope good... ' The Bishop was telling the world how unpleasant this propaganda 'Bishop bad, pope good' is... the pope is the one pushing this the very first day... and the wicked bishops feel like heaven.

Unfortunately, I have to ask because everyone is pointing fingers at the pawns and not to the one behind all.

Pope Francis speech at the conclusion of the Synod (Vatican Radio)
I can happily say that – with a spirit of collegiality and of synodality – we have truly lived the experience of “Synod,” a path of solidarity, a “journey together.” And it has been “a journey” – and like every journey there were moments of running fast, as if wanting to conquer time and reach the goal as soon as possible; other moments of fatigue, as if wanting to say “enough”; other moments of enthusiasm and ardour. There were moments of profound consolation listening to the testimony of true pastors, who wisely carry in their hearts the joys and the tears of their faithful people. Moments of consolation and grace and comfort hearing the testimonies of the families who have participated in the Synod and have shared with us the beauty and the joy of their married life. A journey where the stronger feel compelled to help the less strong, where the more experienced are led to serve others, even through confrontations. And since it is a journey of human beings, with the consolations there were also moments of desolation, of tensions and temptations, of which a few possibilities could be mentioned:

- 1. A temptation to hostile inflexibility, that is, wanting to close oneself within the written word, (the letter) and not allowing oneself to be surprised by God, by the God of surprises, (the spirit); within the law, within the certitude of what we know and not of what we still need to learn and to achieve. From the time of Christ, it is the temptation of the zealous, of the scrupulous, of the solicitous and of the so-called – today – “traditionalists” and also of the intellectuals.

2. The temptation to a destructive tendency to goodness [it. buonismo], that in the name of a deceptive mercy binds the wounds without first curing them and treating them; that treats the symptoms and not the causes and the roots. It is the temptation of the “do-gooders,” of the fearful, and also of the so-called “progressives and liberals.”

3. - The temptation to transform stones into bread to break the long, heavy, and painful fast (cf. Lk 4:1-4); and also to transform the bread into a stone and cast it against the sinners, the weak, and the sick (cf Jn 8:7), that is, to transform it into unbearable burdens (Lk 11:46).

4. - The temptation to come down off the Cross, to please the people, and not stay there, in order to fulfil the will of the Father; to bow down to a worldly spirit instead of purifying it and bending it to the Spirit of God.

5. - The temptation to neglect the “depositum fidei” [the deposit of faith], not thinking of themselves as guardians but as owners or masters [of it]; or, on the other hand, the temptation to neglect reality, making use of meticulous language and a language of smoothing to say so many things and to say nothing! They call them “byzantinisms,” I think, these things…

Dear brothers and sisters, the temptations must not frighten or disconcert us, or even discourage us, because no disciple is greater than his master; so if Jesus Himself was tempted – and even called Beelzebul (cf. Mt 12:24) – His disciples should not expect better treatment.

Personally I would be very worried and saddened if it were not for these temptations and these animated discussions; this movement of the spirits, as St Ignatius called it (Spiritual Exercises, 6), if all were in a state of agreement, or silent in a false and quietist peace. Instead, I have seen and I have heard – with joy and appreciation – speeches and interventions full of faith, of pastoral and doctrinal zeal, of wisdom, of frankness and of courage: and of parresia. And I have felt that what was set before our eyes was the good of the Church, of families, and the “supreme law,” the “good of souls” (cf. Can. 1752). And this always – we have said it here, in the Hall – without ever putting into question the fundamental truths of the Sacrament of marriage: the indissolubility, the unity, the faithfulness, the fruitfulness, that openness to life (cf. Cann. 1055, 1056; and Gaudium et spes, 48).

And this is the Church, the vineyard of the Lord, the fertile Mother and the caring Teacher, who is not afraid to roll up her sleeves to pour oil and wine on people’s wound; who doesn’t see humanity as a house of glass to judge or categorize people.

This is the Church, One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and composed of sinners, needful of God’s mercy.

This is the Church, the true bride of Christ, who seeks to be faithful to her spouse and to her doctrine. It is the Church that is not afraid to eat and drink with prostitutes and publicans. The Church that has the doors wide open to receive the needy, the penitent, and not only the just or those who believe they are perfect! The Church that is not ashamed of the fallen brother and pretends not to see him, but on the contrary feels involved and almost obliged to lift him up and to encourage him to take up the journey again and accompany him toward a definitive encounter with her Spouse, in the heavenly Jerusalem.
The is the Church, our Mother! And when the Church, in the variety of her charisms, expresses herself in communion, she cannot err: it is the beauty and the strength of the sensus fidei, of that supernatural sense of the faith which is bestowed by the Holy Spirit so that, together, we can all enter into the heart of the Gospel and learn to follow Jesus in our life. And this should never be seen as a source of confusion and discord.

Many commentators, or people who talk, have imagined that they see a disputatious Church where one part is against the other, doubting even the Holy Spirit, the true promoter and guarantor of the unity and harmony of the Church – the Holy Spirit who throughout history has always guided the barque, through her Ministers, even when the sea was rough and choppy, and the ministers unfaithful and sinners. And, as I have dared to tell you , [as] I told you from the beginning of the Synod, it was necessary to live through all this with tranquillity, and with interior peace, so that the Synod would take place cum Petro and sub Petro(with Peter and under Peter), and the presence of the Pope is the guarantee of it all.
We will speak a little bit about the Pope, now, in relation to the Bishops [laughing].
So, the duty of the Pope is that of guaranteeing the unity of the Church; it is that of reminding the faithful of their duty to faithfully follow the Gospel of Christ; it is that of reminding the pastors that their first duty is to nourish the flock – to nourish the flock – that the Lord has entrusted to them, and to seek to welcome – with fatherly care and mercy, and without false fears – the lost sheep. I made a mistake here. I said welcome: [rather] to go out and find them.

His duty is to remind everyone that authority in the Church is a service, as Pope Benedict XVI clearly explained, with words I cite verbatim: “The Church is called and commits herself to exercise this kind of authority which is service and exercises it not in her own name, but in the name of Jesus Christ… through the Pastors of the Church, in fact: it is he who guides, protects and corrects them, because he loves them deeply. But the Lord Jesus, the supreme Shepherd of our souls, has willed that the Apostolic College, today the Bishops, in communion with the Successor of Peter… to participate in his mission of taking care of God's People, of educating them in the faith and of guiding, inspiring and sustaining the Christian community, or, as the Council puts it, ‘to see to it... that each member of the faithful shall be led in the Holy Spirit to the full development of his own vocation in accordance with Gospel preaching, and to sincere and active charity’ and to exercise that liberty with which Christ has set us free (cf. Presbyterorum Ordinis, 6)… and it is through us,” Pope Benedict continues, “that the Lord reaches souls, instructs, guards and guides them. St Augustine, in his Commentary on the Gospel of St John, says: ‘let it therefore be a commitment of love to feed the flock of the Lord’ (cf. 123, 5); this is the supreme rule of conduct for the ministers of God, an unconditional love, like that of the Good Shepherd, full of joy, given to all, attentive to those close to us and solicitous for those who are distant (cf. St Augustine, Discourse 340, 1; Discourse 46, 15), gentle towards the weakest, the little ones, the simple, the sinners, to manifest the infinite mercy of God with the reassuring words of hope (cf. ibid., Epistle, 95, 1).” So, the Church is Christ’s – she is His bride – and all the bishops, in communion with the Successor of Peter, have the task and the duty of guarding her and serving her, not as masters but as servants. The Pope, in this context, is not the supreme lord but rather the supreme servant – the “servant of the servants of God”; the guarantor of the obedience and the conformity of the Church to the will of God, to the Gospel of Christ, and to the Tradition of the Church, putting aside every personal whim, despite being – by the will of Christ Himself – the “supreme Pastor and Teacher of all the faithful” (Can. 749) and despite enjoying “supreme, full, immediate, and universal ordinary power in the Church” (cf. Cann. 331-334).
Dear brothers and sisters, now we still have one year to mature, with true spiritual discernment, the proposed ideas and to find concrete solutions to so many difficulties and innumerable challenges that families must confront; to give answers to the many discouragements that surround and suffocate families.

One year to work on the “Synodal Relatio” which is the faithful and clear summary of everything that has been said and discussed in this hall and in the small groups. It is presented to the Episcopal Conferences as “lineamenta” [guidelines].

May the Lord accompany us, and guide us in this journey for the glory of His Name, with the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of Saint Joseph. And please, do not forget to pray for me! Thank you!

[The hymn Te Deum was sung, and Benediction given.]

@Abramo

You are implying that this is NOT Francis doing? That it is all influence and propaganda of the gay lobby which the same Francis condemned yet he has backed in SO many ways...

At last somebody with courage among the famous, telling it like it is...

Thanks for the news.
