| Galat versus Francis |
Dear friends, I just read an
article by one Domingo Caro, a contributor to OnePeterFive, said to
be well versed in politics and the Church in South America. The article, which
was incidentally published on August 2, the same day I published an article on
Prof. Galat’s case with the Colombian bishops, reads partly:
“Recently, a well respected Catholic, Don José Galat, who is the founder of a TV channel
(Teleamiga) and the president of a university (de la Gran Colombia), broadcast
a set of TV shows in which he showed what he understands as Pope Francis’s
departures from the Catholic Faith in matters of the Sacrifice of the Mass
(which has been called by Francis a “memorial”) and of the respect for the
Commandments (see one episode here).
The bishops of Colombia have reacted by forbidding priests to appear on Galat’s
channel. At this point, a radio station interviewed Galat aggressively, calling
him “proud” and schismatic. His reaction went beyond his previous more
meditated positions, and he stated that Francis is not pope because
his election was null – and that even if he were pope, he is a heretic. The
reaction of the bishops was instant: they declared immediately that Don José
Galat is excommunicated latae sententiae.
Would that the bishops reacted with such exemplary speed when the central
teachings of our faith are denied and the central tenets of Catholic morality
are questioned by priests, religious, and laity!”
Of course, the “excommunication” is absolutely null and utterly worthless
because Prof. Galat did not commit any offence. On the contrary, he defends the
Catholic Faith from the heresies of Francis and the diabolical attack of those
who are “excommunicating” him. It is sad and indeed tragic to note that up till
now, millions of Catholics the world over haven’t yet been taking this
Bergoglean war against our Faith seriously. Many will do when it gets too late.
In April, 2015, shortly
before his death, Father Nicholas Gruner visited Rome. According to him,
“...while I was there, something happened—something soul-shaking!—that I did
not expect!
“I spoke with Father
Gabriel Amorth, the world’s most famous living exorcist. His words shook me as
few things ever have! Father Amorth told me that we have but a SHORT TIME left
before the chastisements predicted by Our Lady of Fatima begin to rip our world
apart in ways we can hardly imagine! HOW
LONG? LESS THAN 8 MONTHS! Father Gabriel
Amorth told me that unless the consecration of Russia is done—as Our Lady
asked—by the end of October, 2015, the dark prophecies of Fatima may well come
to pass any day after that.
“...There are no
accidents. All is Providence! Father Amorth is, at 85, still the chief exorcist
of Rome. He has performed tens of thousands of exorcisms and written several
books on the subject. He was the hand-picked successor of Father Candido, his
famed saintly predecessor who himself had special spiritual gifts. Father
Amorth knows we are in the final battle with Satan and the time is short.”
Both Fr. Gruner himself and Fr. Amorth have now been taken away from us,
and we have, since then, been living through “the dark prophecies of Fatima”.
Don’t forget this.
Below is the OnePeterFive article. The writer,
Domingo Caro, says that “Don José Galat has, I think, gone beyond what
canonists think to be right concerning the papal election.” Please kindly
ignore him. “Canonists” who, up till now, haven’t declared Bergoglio a false
pope are doing so either because they are also fellow heretics or simply out of shear cowardice:
Colombia and Venezuela
Burning: Is the Vatican Coddling Communists?
Editor’s note: The following comes from Domingo Caro, a contributor well
versed in politics and the Church in South America.
Colombia has
been terrorized and turned into a drug-dealing country by communist subversion
for decades. The worst force in this regard has a name: the “Fuerzas Armadas
Revolucionarias de Colombia” (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), or FARC.
After President Uribe (2002-2010) struck them hard, they decided to change
their strategy and secure power through elections, as Hugo Chávez himself did
in neighboring Venezuela.
Colombian
president Juan Manuel Santos has played an active role in this strategy. Last
year, he signed a “peace” agreement with FARC and proposed a referendum to
approve it. The campaign for the approval was relentless; all the polls were
manipulated to show huge support. The pope got involved in favor of the
agreement, which had been promoted by him and Raúl Castro, but the people of
Colombia refused to be deceived and voted “no.”
Pope Francis’s intervention was harshly criticized, and with weighty
reasons, by Spanish-American Catholics. The blog El Quijote Siglo XXI pointed out the
following: the 297-page agreement was the surrender of Colombia to a form of
communism designed by Raúl Castro. In those pages, the State agrees to impose
on children’s education and on a variety of policies the ideology of
gender [1], to give a
salary for years to members of the guerrillas, to forgive the abundant crimes
against humanity committed by FARC, to allow FARC to own radio stations to
promote “21st-century socialism,” and to have some seats in Congress and to
keep the money gained from drug-dealing.
When the agreement was signed, Pietro Cardinal Parolin said, “[T]he Holy
Father has followed with attention the
efforts of past years in search for reconciliation and harmony, and he has
encouraged such efforts, without taking part in the concrete solutions[.]” But
Francis went beyond this. He declared, “I promise that when this agreement is
approved and protected by the referendum, then I will visit Colombia in
order to teach peace.” He
was so sure that the Colombian people would approve the agreement in the
referendum!
The pope had reasons to be sure. He had pressed
with his papal authority for its approval, and the proposed public question was
deceitful: “Do you support the Final Agreement for the end of the armed
conflict and the construction of a stable and lasting peace?” Was not Francis
taking part in a fraud, an attempt to drag a Catholic people into approving its
own destruction?
The story does not end here. The people were not deceived by propaganda
and papal cajoling. However, Santos went on with the application of the
agreement, and so did Raúl Castro, FARC, and Francis. Next September 1, FARC
will become a political party, and next September 6, Francis will go to bless
the ensuing “reconciliation” and “harmony.” The Conference of Bishops has
promoted this visit and so has accepted the papal blessing of
the deception of the Colombian people.
Such has been the Vatican diplomatic line in
Colombia under Cardinal Parolin and Pope Francis.
In neighboring Venezuela, the Vatican has followed exactly the same
line. The Christian people in both countries are confused. But in Venezuela,
where the perversity of this diplomatic line is more visible because of the
genocide the people are suffering – a catastrophe Francis and Parolin have
ignored – the confusion is being expressed boldly. Even José Luis Rodríguez, a
famous popular singer, threw a challenge to
the pope: “The silence of the pope is astonishing and turns him into an
accomplice in the recent deaths and the deaths to come in this drug-dealing
regime. What is wrong with you, Bergoglio?” Also: “The pope is closer to the
communist left than to Christ. Define yourself, Bergoglio!”
The Vatican has criticized the
opposition more than the government. Pope Francis has never condemned the
tyrannical repression in Venezuela; instead, he has always called “the
government and all members of Venezuelan society to avoid any new form of
violence and to search for negotiated solutions.” He has therefore ignored the oppression
to which the Communist government has submitted the people and has ignored the
classical doctrine of the right of the people to defend themselves from
tyranny. Pope Francis and the Vatican have been promoting “dialogue” and
“negotiations” with a totalitarian tyranny, which has used the authority of the
Vatican to gain time to overcome several crises (in 2014 and in 2016).
Does Pope
Francis not know that the tyranny has full power and is oppressing a
defenseless people?
In the recent crisis, the one that started in April, the Vatican
followed the same path. I have already quoted a public statement made by
Francis in April. In his Easter Message, he insisted on the same line. And
there is indubitable evidence that Cardinal Parolin is directly responsible (as
he was in 2014 and 2016) for the disastrous course followed in the last month
by the opposition leaders, associated under an organization called MUD (Mesa de
la Unidad Democrática, the Democratic Unity Roundtable). These leaders have
tried to reach a “negotiated solution,” in the apparent conviction that
Cardinal Parolin’s support will move the officials of the Venezuelan tyranny to
negotiate with them. This appears clearly in a letter sent by one of these MUD
politicians, Julio Borges, the president of the Venezuelan Congress, to
officials in the Venezuelan government. Borges speaks of the dialogue Cardinal
Parolin has proposed in a recent letter from the Vatican. Don’t the Vatican
officials and the opposition leaders know that communist tyrannies do not
abandon power through persuasion [2]?
On July 28, the executive director of Human Rights Watch, José Miguel
Vivanco, gave some statements to
the Chilean press that are worth contrasting with the Vatican’s attitude:
[T]he
crisis in Venezuela is not the result of the lack of dialogue. … It is not the
result of polarization and a potential clash between two equivalent forces that
demand mediation. … [T]he crisis is due to a dictatorial record of a regime
that commits extremely grave and massive violations of human rights with total
impunity and does not give accounts to anybody.
We
are facing a dictatorship, a tyranny that concentrates the whole power, and
which holds on to power. In this context, the president of Chile refuses to
name things as they are and states that this regime was democratically
elected[, which] is inconsistent with Chile’s position in the Organization of
American States[.] …
The
gravest issue is that she suggest a dialogue between government and opposition.
This is a grave mistake, and at this moment, a head of state well informed of
Venezuela’s situation should not make such a grave mistake. …
The 30th of July, the regime will try
to protect itself with a little varnish (they cannot get more than that) of a
democratic popular exercise but with a clearly fascist structure, which is
going to make even harder a democratic, negotiated, and reasonable solution in
the short term to this situation, in which the Venezuelan people are absolutely
defenseless.
So it seems
that we have come to the situation in which a popular singer and the executive
director of Human Rights Watch are a moral authority more credible than Pope
Francis and Parolin’s Vatican. No wonder Colombian Catholics are upset, saying
Pope Francis is not welcome and that he and the bishops who support him are
outside the Catholic Church.
Recently, a well respected Catholic, Don José Galat, who is the founder of a TV channel (Teleamiga)
and the president of a university (de la Gran Colombia), broadcast a set of TV
shows in which he showed what he understands as Pope Francis’s departures from
the Catholic Faith in matters of the Sacrifice of the Mass (which has been
called by Francis a “memorial”) and of the respect for the Commandments (see one
episode here). The bishops
of Colombia have reacted by forbidding priests to appear on Galat’s channel. At
this point, a radio station interviewed Galat aggressively, calling him “proud”
and schismatic. His reaction went beyond his previous more meditated positions,
and he stated that Francis is not pope because his election was null
– and that even if he were pope, he is a heretic. The reaction of the bishops
was instant: they declared immediately that Don José Galat is excommunicated latae sententiae. Would that
the bishops reacted with such exemplary speed when the central teachings of our
faith are denied and the central tenets of Catholic morality are questioned by
priests, religious, and laity!
Don José Galat has, I think, gone beyond what canonists think to be
right concerning the papal election. However, can one really be surprised that
a good Catholic who loves divine Truth and the people of God is upset and now
is stating that Pope Francis is not welcome in
Colombia?
Schism is
brewing in the Church, not harmony and peace. How could it not grow when the
Vatican shows such partiality toward the archenemies of Catholics – no less
than well known communists, FARC and Raúl Castro included?
