WE ALL KNEW THAT OUR WONDERFUL, ORTHODOX AND NEW POPE, POPE LEO WOULD MAKE CLEAR WHAT SYNODALITY IS AND HE HAS!

 This will cause those in the Vatican and the blog “Where Francis Was” heartache and indigestion:



POPE LEO PONDERED IF THE MODERN MASS WERE CELEBRATED BY THE BOOK WOULD THE LAITY AND PRIESTS WANT THE ANCIENT FORM OF THE MASS?

The completely out of focus liturgical abuses in the Modern Mass and not the exception but the rule!


If you thought, like Mike Lewis does (in his unhinged alternate universe) that the TLM is the greatest liturgical problem for the Church causing all kinds of problems for unity, think again!

Pope Leo opined in the Crux interview: “I do know that part of that issue, unfortunately, has become – again, part of a process of polarization – people have used the liturgy as an excuse for advancing other topics. It’s become a political tool, and that’s very unfortunate. I think sometimes the, say, ‘abuse’ of the liturgy from what we call the Vatican II Mass, was not helpful for people who were looking for a deeper experience of prayer, of contact with the mystery of faith that they seemed to find in the celebration of the Tridentine Mass. Again, we’ve become polarized, so that instead of being able to say, well, if we celebrate the Vatican II liturgy in a proper way, do you really find that much difference between this experience and that experience?”
My comment: Of course Pope Leo implicitly acknowledges the mess of how the Vatican II Liturgy is celebrated. And in fact, implied too, is that also the Vatican II Mass is used “as an excuse for advancing other topics.” It, the Vatican II Mass, is used as a kind of political tool, to advance LGBTQ+++ colonizing ideologies and using the Vatican II Mass to do it as well as advancing women’s ordination and the like. Pope Leo response to this question was brilliant. 

Pope Francis' primary document on the liturgy is the apostolic letter Desiderio desideravi,issued on June 29, 2022, which serves as a reflection on the Eucharist and the importance of liturgical formation to help Catholics rediscover the beauty and wonder of the Mass. The letter encourages full and active participation in the liturgy as an encounter with the living Christ, and also focuses  on disciplinary issues or abuses. 

And while Pope Francis acknowledged liturgical abuses in the Modern Mass, unlike with Traditionis Custodis where Pope Francis made sure that the Dicastery of Divine Worship micromanaged bishops in order to implement TC and Cardinal Roche even forbade parishes from advertising the TLM in their bulletin, there was no such authoritarian crackdown on liturgical abuses with the release of Desiderio desideravi. 

And liturgical abuses in the Modern Mass advance as on steroids and no one, let alone the “Where Francis Was” blog even blinks an eye or gets unhinged.

WHILE NOT ALL NON-CATHOLIC PRESIDENTS ACCEPT ALL CATHOLIC MORAL TEACHINGS, MOST NON CATHOLIC PRESIDENT PROMOTE SOME CATHOLIC TEACHINGS AND THUS SHOULD GET PAPAL NON-CATHOLIC AWARDS


 I still hope President Trump’s peace making efforts, a part of what Pope Leo calls all of us to do in his new Apostolic Exhortation, should enable Pope Leo to give the President a Papal non Catholic award.

And this certainly qualifies:

US President Donald Trump has reinstated Columbus Day, celebrating the great Catholic explorer who led to the Christianisation of the Americas and the eventual end of human sacrifice there 

Columbus has been the victim of anti Catholic black legends which falsely ascribe crimes against natives to him that were in fact later committed by non Catholics in the USA 

In his 1892 encyclical, Quarto Abeunte Saeculo, Pope Leo XIII praised Christopher Columbus in the strongest terms: 

'Columbus is ours; since if a little consideration be given to the particular reason of his design in exploring the mare tenebrosum, and also the manner in which he endeavoured to execute the design, it is indubitable that the Catholic faith was the strongest motive for the inception and prosecution of the design; so that for this reason also the whole human race owes not a little to the Church'

HELPING THE POOR IN THE DIOCESE OF SAVANNAH AS POPE LEO PRAYS ALL CATHOLICS DO!

 In every parish that I have been assigned, each parish was actively engaged in assisting the poor and helping women and families have their children by choosing life and not death!

At St. Teresa’s Church in Albany, Georgia it was “Neighbors in Need” and the St. Clare Center.

At the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, it was the Social Apostolate now Catholic Charities.

At The Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Augusta, it was Catholic Social Services.

At Saint Joseph Church in Macon, it was Mother and Child Ministries, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society and DePaul’s Daybreak and the Kolbe Center.

Let me brag a bit about DePaul USA’s Daybreak in Macon. When I was pastor of St. Joseph’s, Daughter of Charity, Sister Elizabeth Grim came to me with what I thought at the time was just a wild idea that would never get off the ground. 

Boy was I wrong!

But I knew how convincing she could be and thus I supported her in her efforts and simply got out of her way so she could do it and do it she did!

The video above is about the good works that DePaul USA Macon’s Daybreak continues to do.

WHILE SOME ARE UNHINGED BY THE FRINGE OF RADICAL HETERODOX RIGHT CATHOLICS, THE TRUE THREAT TO CHURCH UNITY IS THE HETERODOX RADICAL LEFT AS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE SEMI-SCHISMATIC GERMAN CHURCH AND ITS HIERARCHY!

 


Below I highlighted how unhinged Mike Lewis of the blog “Where Francis Was” about Catholics who desire the older, historic liturgies of the Church. He stereotypes them in the most mortally sinful ways. 

Lewis, in fact, has forgotten the Lord’s teachings about judging: “Judge not and ye shall not be judged.”

Of course, I in my most humble astute ways, have always pointed out that the greatest threat to the Church’s unity are the heterodox left Catholics, to include bishops, some cardinals, priests, religious and laity.

Specifically Germany and other Germanic countries are of the greatest threat.

This Pillar Commentary proves my astute, humble thesis:

Fernández: DDF ‘did not approve anything’ on German same-sex blessings handbook


The conference president Bishop Georg Bätzing has claimed the controversial text, issued during the papal interregnum, had been created “transparently in consultation with this dicastery.”


CATHOLIC SOCIAL DOCTRINE MADE CLEAR AND ORTHODOX BY POPE LEO XIV…


Pope Leo’s first Apostolic Exhortation is in fact the work of Pope Francis before His Holiness became critically ill and died (RIP). It is exactly, without critical illness or death, that occurred with Pope Francis’ first encyclical which was the work of Pope Benedict XVI.

Of course Pope Francis put his stamp on Benedict’s words and so too has Pope Leo put his stamp on Francis’ words. 

It is a long reading. Pope Leo has given us a very orthodox social doctrine teaching. I think Pope Leo’s contribution is to bring into this exhortation the voices of other popes and saints as well as his own words, although I see no footnotes indicating his previous words. The footnotes are very telling in this regard. 

This encyclical written primarily by Pope Francis is closely related to of Pope Francis’ Dilexit nos, an excellent Apostolic Exhortation on the Sacred Heart of Jesus, quite fitting for a Jesuit Pope to promulgate. 

Read it:  Dilexi te

COMMENTARY FROM VATICAN NEWS:

Already in the title, Pope Leo XIV’s first apostolic exhortation, Dilexi te, reveals its close connection with Dilexit nos, the final encyclical of Francis, and represents, in a certain sense, its continuation. It is not a text about the Church’s social doctrine, nor does it analyze specific issues. Rather, it sets forth the very foundations of Revelation, highlighting the powerful bond between the love of Christ and His call for us to draw near to the poor.

The centrality of love for the poor is, in fact, at the very heart of the Gospel itself, and therefore cannot be dismissed as a “pet concern” of certain Popes or theological currents, nor be presented as a merely social or humanitarian consequence extrinsic to the Christian faith and its 

“Love for the Lord… is one with love for the poor,” writes Pope Leo. They are therefore inseparable: Jesus says, “Just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me”. Hence, the Pope continues, “this is not a matter of mere human kindness but a revelation: contact with those who are lowly and powerless is a fundamental way of encountering the Lord of history”.

The Pope observes that, sadly, even Christians risk “succumbing” to worldly attitudes, ideologies, and misleading political or economic approaches. The annoyance we sometimes hear when people refer to commitment to the poor —  as if it were a distraction from love and worship directed toward God — reveals how timely this document is.

“The fact that some dismiss or ridicule charitable works, as if they were an obsession on the part of a few and not the burning heart of the Church’s mission,” Pope Leo says, “convinces me of the need to go back and re-read the Gospel, lest we risk replacing it with the wisdom of this world.”

Through biblical citations and the insights of the Fathers of the Church, we are thus reminded that love for the poor “is not optional but a requirement of true worship.” The words of Saint John Chrysostom and Saint Augustine continue to enlighten the Church today: the former urges us to honor Jesus in the body of the poor, asking what sense there is in having altars filled with golden vessels while Christ lies exhausted from hunger just outside the church; the latter describes the poor as “the sacramental presence of the Lord,” seeing in the care for the poor tangible evidence of the sincerity of one’s faith: “Anyone who says they love God and has no compassion for the needy is lying.”

Because of this connection with the essence of the Christian message, the final part of Dilexi tecontains a call addressed to every baptized person, urging each one to commit concretely to the defense and promotion of the weakest: “All the members of the People of God have a duty to make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve.”

It is a message with profound implications for both Church and society: the current economic-financial system and its “structures of sin” are not inevitable, and it is therefore possible to engage in imagining and building — “by the force of good” — a different and more just society, “by changing mindsets but also, with the help of science and technology, by developing effective policies for societal change.”

Dilexi te was originally begun by Francis. Pope Leo XIV — who, as a religious and later a missionary bishop, has shared so much of his life with the poor, allowing himself to be evangelized by them — has made it his own.

POPE LEO XIV THANKS THE USA’S KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS FOR THEIR FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE HOLY SEE AND THEIR PRO-LIFE INITIATIVES

 


In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Peace be with you!

Your Excellency, dear friends,

I am pleased to welcome you this morning, all the members of the Board of Directors of the Knights of Columbus as well as your families who accompany you this morning as part of your pilgrimage in this Jubilee Year of Hope. How important that word is in itself: hope.

Tens of millions of the faithful have likewise come to Rome in this Holy Year to visit the tombs of the Apostles, walk through the Holy Doors, to be strengthened in their faith. One of the pieces of art in the Vatican that they undoubtedly see when they go through the Holy Door and enter the Basilica is the baldacchino of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, which now shines forth in all of its original beauty after the first comprehensive restoration in its history. Another, in the apse of the Basilica, is Bernini’s beautiful bronze monument protecting the Cathedra of Saint Peter, which was renewed at the same time. These masterpieces help all who look upon them to contemplate two of the principal tenets of our faith: the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and the Pope as the Successor of Peter who unites and guides the Church.

I would like to express profound gratitude to the Knights of Columbus for your generosity in making these projects possible. They are a visible sign of your continued devotion to the Vicar of Christ. Throughout its history, the Order has supported the charitable work of the Roman Pontiff in a variety of ways, including through the Vicarius Christi Fund, which allows him to express solidarity with the poor and most vulnerable throughout the world.

Through a variety of initiatives undertaken by local Councils, you and your brother Knights also seek to bring the compassion and love of the Lord into your local communities, including through your efforts to uphold the sanctity of human life in all of its stages, to assist victims of war and natural disasters and also to support priestly vocations. For these concrete actions, as well as for your daily prayers and sacrifices for the good of all God’s people, I express sincerely my warm appreciation.

Dear brothers and sisters, I wish you a fruitful pilgrimage and pray that your time in Rome, in the Eternal City will nourish your faith, will confirm you in hope, and deepen your love for the Church. In this way, may you be strengthened to continue the worthy mission begun by your noble founder.

With these sentiments, I entrust all of you to the intercession of Our LadyMary, Mother of the Church, and also of Blessed Michael McGivney, and I gladly impart my blessing to each and every one of you, your families and loved ones. Thank you very much.

A VERY GOOD COMMENTARY ON POPE LEO XIV FROM AN ORTHODOX RIGHT CATHOLIC


Certain unhinged heterodox left Catholics still living in the past’s alternate universe would do well to learn from Pope Leo. I think I will rename Southern Orders “Where Pope Leo is!”

Dr. Gavin Ashenden has a great critique of Pope Leo and what His Holiness has wrought. Press the title for the long commentary. I print some money bytes below the title:

Pope Leo’s Moment

By Dr. Gavin Ashenden


But strategically, theologically, politically, and pastorally, I knew that it could not happen, because Pope Leo had a problem. Even in the humblest of parishes you never denigrate your predecessor. And more especially at the top of the Church, one of the prime responsibilities of the holder of the papal office is to ensure that the see of Saint Peter is held in respect and affection.

Pope Leo inherited a particularly intense aspect of this problem. Unlike the Borgias and other notoriously bad popes, Francis was unusual in that his failings were not moral, certainly not sexual, and instead they were ideological or theological.

The most serious problem Pope Francis left his predecessor was how to manage the damage done to the integrity of the Magisterium. How does Catholic theology cope with a pope who writes an encyclical that is then challenged (as is their right) by a number of his Cardinals, who ask him respectfully and properly to respond to their Dubia, precisely so the integrity of the Magisterium can be protected, but then ignores them?

It is dangerous for a pope, even after a “bad” papacy, to repudiate his predecessor. The moment a pope engages in that process, he runs the risk of being repudiated himself by his successor. Suddenly instead of a developing Magisterium, organically coherent and integrated, affirmed by a succession of the papacies in slow but steady development, there arises the prospect of the Magisterium becoming something more like a political football. Instead of a process in which the Church of God is molded and shepherded by the Holy Spirit, it becomes a political institution with different factions and parties vying for power and prominence.

(As it concerns the TLM) He talked about the way in which “some people” saw the issue as one of mystery and prayer, while others saw it as a “political issue.” He clearly showed his sympathy for those whose motivation was mystery and prayer.

So by “synodal listening” the real mind of the Church will emerge, which undoubtedly will repudiate the vendetta launched against the Church through Traditiones Custodes. In this strategy, it will not be Francis’ successor who will repudiate this papal initiative that did so much damage and divided the Church. It will be the Church itself, in listening mode, which will do it. And we can be confident the Church will do it because of the leaked responses of the bishops to Pope Francis’ survey about how the norms were working under Summorum Pontificum (the majority of which reported things as better under the less restrictive norms).

Pope Leo will listen to the mind of the Church, fully consistent with the Magisterium, and in so doing allow Traditiones Custodes to be judged an aberration. By this process the Mass of the Ages will be restored. And this will be achieved without one pope repudiating his predecessor. There will be the minimum of the kind of stress that would otherwise subvert the integrity of the papal office.

Pope Leo took the same approach to Fiducia Supplicans. In a rather elegant and caring way he expressed great surprise that some people have misunderstood the scope of asking a priest for a blessing. He confirmed that it was quite impossible to bless same-sex relationships and that this was obviously a misinterpretation of the document, since such an act went against Church teaching.

He did not need to say that Pope Francis was mistaken. He did not need to say that he repudiated the document. He simply needed to express the orthodox mind of the Church. He reiterated the teaching of the Church and said that those who mistakenly misinterpreted Fiducia Supplicans had done so because they failed to understand what is Church teaching and what it is not. And categorically, Pope Leo insisted that blessing homosexual relationships was against Church teaching. He lamented that any Catholic would choose an identity based on sexual preferences, when their real identity was that of a human being made in the image of God.

Suddenly the “todos, todos, todos” welcome of Pope Francis, that appeared to place such an emphasis on everyone coming as they are, on the terms they choose, was replaced by Pope Leo. Francis’ welcome implied the Church would change its teaching, exchanging a Catholic moral framework for a more progressive one. In each welcome the Church welcomes everyone; but the welcome that Pope Leo offered is one with a more Catholic dynamic—one that promised the miracle of transformation into the likeness of God. You come not on your own terms but those of Jesus. Patristic theology has always seen the image and likeness of God as a two-stage process. The “image” speaks to our created status. The “likeness” speaks to what we become in the hand of the transforming Spirit. Once again Pope Leo replaced the expectations of a politicized therapeutic process with the expectation and promise of the journey towards salvation.

Pope Leo is a dignified, serious, thoughtful inheritor of the Petrine office committed (as he has reiterated) to the teaching of the Church. What we need now is for his advisers to persuade him to show himself at his best and avoid situations like press ambushes, which expose him to unnecessary spontaneous reflections that help no one.

Nonetheless, what Pope Leo has achieved without either criticizing, repudiating, or denigrating either his predecessor or the papal office is noteworthy. The Holy Spirit has answered our prayers in giving us a father in God who combines astute theological judgment with a pastoral heart. Augustinian indeed.


STEREOTYPICAL CARICATURES OF A SMALL MINORITY OF CATHOLICS, MINISCULE AT THAT, DOES NOTHING TO PROMOTE POPE LEO’S VISION FOR SYNODALITY BASED UPON DIALOGUE RATHER THAN BROADSIDES!


I have been impressed with Pope Leo’s willingness to listen to the greatest promoters of Pope Benedict's liturgical vision as expressed in Summorum Pontificum. He has met with Cardinals Burke, Sarah and the former head of Ecclesia Dei. I would think, too, he’s met with Cardinal Mueller. 

Pope Leo is a pope that is not moved by diatribes against this, that or the other ideological movements in the Church. 

With that in mind, I’d like to call your attention to a “way too long” commentary by Michael Lewis at Where Peter Is which should be renamed “Where Pope Francis Was”as they still haven’t gotten over the fact that Pope Francis is dead and Pope Leo isn’t Pope Francis!

Harkening back to the good old days of Pope Francis, Lewis creates a diatribe against Catholics who desire the TLM and ancillary liturgies/sacraments as all being ideologically motivated and against the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church, against the Deposit of Faith, against Pope Francis and against everything Catholic.

You can read his “way too long” commentary here

But I’d like to focus on these stereotypical points he lists:

  • Calling the pope a heretic or otherwise constantly criticizing his teachings and decisions as contrary to the Catholic faith. (It was Pope Francis and yes, a handful of heterodox right Catholics hold that position but not the vast majority of Catholics who lean toward being orthodox. It’s the heterodox left, and the majority of the left that reject Catholic papal teachings on sexuality while not calling those who promote it heretical but simply anti-Francis.)
  • Claiming that official teachings — such as Amoris LaetitiaFiducia Supplicans, or the revision to the Catechism on the death penalty — are doctrinally erroneous or incompatible with tradition. (There are bishops and cardinals that question these things too, especially the majority of African bishops and their laity. So, I am stunned at Lewis making this a rad trad thing!)
  • Accusing major papal documents of promoting Marxism, Freemasonry, or other ideological corruption (e.g., Fratelli TuttiLaudato Si’, the Document on Human Fraternity, Dignitas Infinita). (Yes, that’s a shame, but no calling out progressives who want to dismiss Humanae Vitae, promote LGBTQ+++ ideologies and changing the Sacraments of Matrimony and Holy Orders to fit that ideology! And that’s not a small minority of progressives but the majority!)
  • Attributing the liturgical reform to Masonic, Jewish, or Protestant infiltration. (On a positive note, this is true and a part of Vatican II’s interfaith and interfaith dialogue and compromises)
  • Signing petitions or open letters accusing the pope of heresy or calling on the cardinals or bishops of the world to rebuke the pope. (The heterodox left, of course, has never done this?????)
  • Insisting that synods and synodality are part of a coordinated plot to destroy the Church or undermine its doctrine. (There are cardinals and bishops, fully in Communion with the Pope, who have been warning about this also! No one in the Catholic Church, clergy, religious or laity, are called to check their brains at the door of the pope or any bishop’s door!)
  • Declaring that traditionalism is “true Catholicism,” while dismissing the Church after Vatican II as a different or false religion (“Novusordoism,” “NuChurch,” etc.). (Yes, I have heard that and worse from rad libs and their diatribes against orthodox Catholics—just read Lewis’ points here!)
  • Treating Bishop Joseph Strickland, Cardinal Raymond Burke, Father James Altman, or the excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò as martyrs for defying the pope and his teachings.(The last time I checked, the only one that is excommunicated is Vigano and yes he is being used and instrumentalized by the small minority of schismatic tending rad trads. As far as the others, is it any worse than the rad libs canonizing Jesuitical Father James Martin and a Franciscan Bishop in Kentucky?)
  • Giving platforms to figures like Strickland, Burke, Viganò, Altman, Fr. Chad Ripperger, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Taylor Marshall, Peter Kwasniewski, and so many others — all of whom routinely undermine or reject papal authority and post-Vatican II magisterial teachings. (I get it that Lewis “hates” these people and breaks half of the two greatest Commandments our Lord gave us, Love of God and Neighbor. But apart from Vigano, all these Catholics are Catholics in good standing with Pope Leo and Cardinal Burke of note!)
  • Falsely accusing Indigenous Amazonian Catholics of idolatry and stirring moral panic during the Synod on the Amazon in 2019. (Mike Lewis needs to cite sociological surveys to give us the proper percentage of Catholics who have accused people of this! Where are those surveys Mike Lewis and how many people are you accusing? And when you find out, let’s burn them at the stake!)
  • Falsely accusing indigenous Canadians of paganism during the pope’s visit. (How many, give us the numbers of Catholics who have done this, Mike Lewis!)
  • Referring to the older liturgy as the only true “Roman Rite,” in contrast to the current liturgy used by almost the entire Church. (How many are doing this Mike Lewis, how many! Sheesh!)
  • Praising the founder of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who was excommunicated for the “schismatic act” of illicitly ordaining bishops as a prophet or future saint. (Mike Lewis, Pope Benedict XVI lifted the excommunication of their bishops—get over it! They are not in schism, compared to those Catholics belonging to sects ordaining women at “priestesses”. Sheesh!)
  • Deriding Pope Paul VI as unworthy of canonization or as a disastrous leader. (How many Mike Lewis, name the numbers! Sheesh!)
  • The refusal of many traditionalist clergy, such as members of the FSSP, to have anything to do with the Vatican II liturgy, not even concelebrating the annual Chrism Mass with their local bishop and brother priests. (How many traditionalists Mike Lewis, give the numbers! Cite the surveys! Sheesh!)
  • Promoting nationalistic ideologies, praising 20th century political movements such as Action Française or Franco’s Spanish dictatorship (and even Vichy France), as the political ideal. (Mike Lewis is unhinged!)
  • Denigrating members of other religions, such as Muslims and Jews, and minimizing the Vatican II teachings pertaining to them. (Cite the numbers based upon sociological surveys on this! Sheesh!)
  • Praising and promoting antisemitic and racist figures of the past like Fr. Denis Fahey and Fr. Charles Coughlin. (WOW! Unhinged!)
  • Calling religious liberty “heretical.” (How many traditionalists, give the numbers based on science!)
  • Promoting conspiracy theories — this became especially public and widespread during the Covid pandemic. (And Mike Lewis isn’t promoting conspiracy theories in this unhinged commentary without factual numbers for those he accuses????)
  • Subscribing to Judeo-Masonic conspiracies, including circulating antisemitic tracts like The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. (This is really laughable! Does Mike Lewis think anyone takes this seriously except the echo chamber at “Where Pope Francis Is”?)
  • Rejecting science and promoting pseudoscience, including theories like Young Earth Creationism and Geocentrism. In many cases, supporters will insist that Catholics must accept these pseudoscientific ideas as dogma. (And rad libs don’t reject science when it comes to LGBTQ+++ ideologies and are not misogynistic when men mock women by putting on female face?)
  • There are many, many more examples. (You forgot the Palmarian Catholics, Old Catholics, and whatever else you can come up with!)

Me thinks Mike Lewis is unhinged! Prejudicial! A stereotyping Catholic who wants all these people excommunicated!
