FATIMA 2017

Perché avete paura? Non avete ancora fede?

+ Dal Vangelo secondo San Marco

In quel medesimo giorno, venuta la sera, Gesù disse ai suoi discepoli: «Passiamo all’altra riva». E, congedata la folla, lo presero con sé, così com’era, nella barca. C’erano anche altre barche con lui.
Ci fu una grande tempesta di vento e le onde si rovesciavano nella barca, tanto che ormai era piena. Egli se ne stava a poppa, sul cuscino, e dormiva. Allora lo svegliarono e gli dissero: «Maestro, non t’importa che siamo perduti?».
Si destò, minacciò il vento e disse al mare: «Taci, càlmati!». Il vento cessò e ci fu grande bonaccia. Poi disse loro: «Perché avete paura? Non avete ancora fede?».
E furono presi da grande timore e si dicevano l’un l’altro: «Chi è dunque costui, che anche il vento e il mare gli obbediscono?».

The Pope and the Order of Malta: a Pyrrhic Victory*?

Roberto de Mattei

Corrispondenza Romana

January 25, 2017

The resignation of Fra Matthew Festing, Grand Master of the Order of Malta, imposed on him by Francis on January 23rd, risks being a Pyrrhic victory for the Pope.

Pope Bergoglio has in fact obtained what he wanted, but had to use force, violating both law and common sense. And this is destined to have serious consequences not only inside the Order of Malta, but among Catholics from all over the world, increasingly perplexed and bewildered about the way Francis is governing the Church.

The Pope knew he hadn’t any legal title to intervene in the internal affairs of a sovereign Order and even less so to demand the resignation of its Grand Master. He knew also the Grand Master himself would not have been able to resist the moral pressure of a request for his resignation, even if illegitimate.

By acting in such a way, Pope Bergoglio has exercised an act of dominion openly in contrast with the spirit of dialogue established as the leit motif during the Year of Mercy. However, what is graver still, is that the intervention took place “to punish” the current in the Order which is the most faithful to the immutable Magisterium of the Church and support instead, the secularist wing, which would like to transform the Knights of Malta into a humanitarian NGO, a distributer of condoms and abortificants “for good reasons”. The next designated victim appears to be the Cardinal Patron, Raymond Leo Burke, who has the dual offence of having defended Catholic Orthodoxy inside the Order and of being one of the four cardinals who criticised the theological and moral errors of the Bergoglian Exhortation, Amoris laetitia.

In his meeting with the Grand Master, Pope Francis announced his intention “to reform” the order, that is to say, the resolve to alter its religious nature, even if it is precisely in the name of Pontifical authority that he wants to start the emancipation of its religious norms and morals. This is a plan for the destruction of the Order, which, naturally, will be able to occur solely by the surrender of the Knights, who unfortunately seem to have lost their militant spirit which distinguished them on the fields of the Crusades and in the waters of Rhodes, Cyprus and Lepanto.

In acting so, however, Pope Bergoglio has lost a lot of credibility not only in the eyes of the Knights, but of an increasing number of the faithful who see the contradiction between his captivating and mellifluous manner of speaking, and his intolerant and threatening way of acting.

From the centre we pass to the periphery, which however, is more important than the centre for Pope Bergoglio. A few days before the Grand Master of the Order of Malta’s resignation, other news along the same lines shook up the Catholic world. Monsignor Rigoberto Corredor Bermùdez, Bishop of Pereira in Colombia, by decree on the 16th of January, suspended a divinis the priest Alberto Uribe Medina, because, according to the communiqué of diocese, he had “voiced publically and privately his rejection of the Holy Father Francis’ doctrinal and pastoral teaching, most of all, as regards marriage and the Eucharist.” The diocesan communiqué adds that as a result of his position, the priest “has separated himself publically from communion with the Pope and the Church.”

Don Uribe therefore, has been accused of being a heretic and schismatic for having rejected Pope Bergoglio’s pastoral indications, which, in the eyes of many cardinals, bishops and theologians have the smell of heresy [about them], precisely for the reason that they appear to be departing from the Catholic faith. Which means that a priest who refuses to administer Holy Communion to the divorced and remarried or to practicing homosexuals is suspended a divinis or excommunicated, while those who reject the Council of Trent and Familiaris consortio are promoted to bishops, and perhaps nominated cardinals, as probably Mons. Scicluna, Archbishop of Malta is expecting, [he being] one of the two Maltese Bishops who authorized Holy Communion to the divorced and remarried, living together as man and wife. The name of this small Mediterranean island seems however to have a strange tie to Pope Bergoglio’s future, less trouble free than we can possibly imagine.

Who is orthodox today and who is heretical or schismatic? This is the great debate that appears on the horizon. A de facto schism, as the German daily Die Tagespost defined it, that is, a civil war in the Church, which the war going on inside the Order of Malta is only a pale prefiguration of.

*A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. Someone who wins a Pyrrhic victory has been victorious in some way. However, the heavy toll negates any sense of achievement or profit.

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

Alleluia, alleluia.
Dio ha tanto amato il mondo
da dare il Figlio, unigenito,
perché chiunque crede in lui non vada perduto,
ma abbia la vita eterna.

Famous Author Mosebach: “I do not know if [Francis has] the guts to write, ‘Il Papa ha sbagliato’ (‘The Pope has erred’)”

Famous Author Mosebach: “I do not know if [Francis has] the guts to write, ‘Il Papa ha sbagliato’ (‘The Pope has erred’)”

Of course not, as promoting error is precisely Francis’ plan as the False Prophet.

January 23, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — The dubia are a “fearless” action of the four Cardinals and the faithful have a “moral right” to an answer, an acclaimed German Catholic writer said in an interview with LifeSiteNews.
Martin Mosebach’s book, Heresy of Formlessness, The Roman Liturgy and Its Enemy, deals with the liturgical reforms in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council and their devastating effects.
Mosebach has written novels, stories, poems, and theater and radio plays. The German Academy for Language and Literature praised him for “combining stylistic splendor with original storytelling that demonstrates a humorous awareness of history.” He is considered one of the greatest novelists in Germany since World War II.
LifeSiteNews recently spoke with Mosebach about the dubia issued by the four Cardinals to Pope Francis regarding his controversial Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia.
LifeSiteNews: Mr. Mosebach, do you know any of the Cardinals who signed the dubia?
Martin Mosebach: I have met three of them on several occasions. Without doubt, the four Cardinals are a kind of elite within the College of Cardinals. Three of them have been longtime diocesan bishops who have defended the Church fearlessly in the most perilous states. Cardinal Brandmüller is a brilliant historian who leans towards a skeptical view which enables him to see the current situation as much from a distance as the past, a gift that is rare among his colleagues.
LifeSiteNews: The Cardinals are called names such as “schismatics” or “renegades.” What is your opinion?
Mosebach: Strangely, the reproaches came from the Curia, which once was known for its careful “curial” style. Apparently, we have to wave even this precious tradition goodbye.
LifeSiteNews: Is the strategy of the dubia the right way to clarify uncertainties?
Mosebach: Dubia means doubts, but I see them more as an act of desperation. What are the faithful supposed to do when their shepherds deny an explanation of an important matter? Think about Jesus and the parable of the woman who pestered the unjust judge so much that he finally did say his sentence because he was afraid to be struck by her. The Cardinals will not go that far, but it becomes more and more clear in the Church that the faithful have a moral right to an answer, whatever it may be.
LifeSiteNews: The answer to the questions should not be difficult for a Catholic – why does Pope Francis not answer?
Mosebach: I would not like to enter the realm of speculation since the Holy Father seems to have an erratic personality with a “wondrous will.” Because of it, though, he triggers speculations even by his silence, which implies that he gives in to the Zeitgeist at the cost of the Church, while in the meantime he can refrain from going expressly against Church tradition so that everybody can take out of his words whatever he finds suitable.
LifeSiteNews: The Church in Germany is often very “selective” with the reception of directives from Rome. Will the dubia even have an effect there?
Mosebach: That is the cause for the dramatic state of the current situation: for the Canadian and the Philippine conferences of bishops, as well as for many other bishops in Germany, there exist no dubia about how to interpret Amoris Laetitia. They explain that the Papal document generally does away with any restrictions regarding admission to the sacraments. In the face of this seemingly omnipresent interpretation, which claims simply an unambiguity of the letter, the four Cardinals’ presentation of the dubia as questions seems extraordinarily respectful and domesticated since they allow for other interpretations.
LifeSiteNews: What do you expect from the “fraternal correction” that was announced by Cardinal Burke?
Mosebach: I do not know if this Pope has the eminence of his predecessor, Pius XI, who had the guts to write, “Il Papa ha sbagliato” (“The Pope has erred”), when he was called out on an error. But if Pope Francis — as seems likely — should try to ignore the dubia continuously, then this will not end without damaging his authority. The result would at least be that the highest Magisterium of the Church does not know how to express itself clearly and is not able to answer uncertainties and do away with doubts. Then it may become clearer that no man — as genius as he might be — is up to the Papacy if he does not submit to tradition.

Salvezza dai nostri nemici, e dalle mani di quanti ci odiano.

Benedetto il Signore, Dio d’Israele, perché ha visitato e redento il suo popolo.
Ha suscitato per noi un Salvatore potente
nella casa di Davide, suo servo,
come aveva detto
per bocca dei suoi santi profeti d’un tempo.

Salvezza dai nostri nemici,
e dalle mani di quanti ci odiano.
Così egli ha concesso misericordia ai nostri padri
e si è ricordato della sua santa alleanza.

Del giuramento fatto ad Abramo, nostro padre,
di concederci, liberati dalle mani dei nemici,
di servirlo senza timore, in santità e giustizia
al suo cospetto, per tutti i nostri giorni.
