Father Paul Kramer posted the following about two weeks ago:

Father Paul Kramer
“The thing that really makes my mouth drop is the incredible lack of foresight on the part of semi-trad indult types. They watch the great pendulum swing in one direction for so long, that they are clueless that it is about to change direction (and smack them in the back of their heads).

“The great schism & apostasy will be triggered by events that will begin next month. The pope (not Jorge) will reverse the direction of the Church when it will be almost too late; while Jorge's Newchurch will stampede into full blown apostasy. I knew this was coming 40 years ago from Catholic prophecy, and I see it unfolding now. No true Catholic, no matter how ignorant, will identify with Jorge's Newchurch, which will be as outlandish as the most liberal of Anglican fringe communities. The majority of bishops & priests will go along and follow their leader into apostasy.

“My only question is that when the apostasy is consummated, will all these pseudo-trads still feel the need to be in communion with (apostate) "Rome"? Will they still think their leader is (as one of them calls him), "a silly man", but still the "pope"? Or will the penny finally drop, so that they will be able to see plainly that their "Holy Father" is not a "silly man", but a ravenous wolf. If they still refuse to admit the obvious, even after their "silly" "Holy Father" destroys the last vestiges of the Catholicism of tradition, then these pseudo-trads will have become pseudo-Catholics -- and apostates as well.

“The Third Secret of Fatima reveals, as Cardinal Ciappi wrote, "[T]he great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top." The Secret speaks of a "pope" who will be under the power of the devil. John XXIII read the text, and then had it translated into Italian by Mons. Tavares. He had understood the difficult passage correctly. John Paul II read the Secret, and the same difficult expression confronted him -- so he had Mons. Carreira translate it again. A wrong interpretation of the difficult passage would appear to contradict the dogma of the indefectibility of the Church. However, Mons. Tavares had indeed translated it correctly. There was no escaping the problematic expression.

“Now that the Secret is being fulfilled in real time, as the invalidly elected "Pope Francis" leads the stampede into apostasy, many who are knowledgeable about the message of Fatima blindly insist that Bergoglio is the pope, and that Catholics must remain in communion with him -- in spite of the fact that his words and actions demonstrate him to be an apostate infidel. Yet the great apostasy in the Church is foretold in the Secret of Fatima; but many authors on Fatima blindly deny that the apostasy led from the top is even happening -- the blind leading the blind into the pit.

Judy Meissner, a professor of psychology, made the following interesting observations on Francis’ last week speech before the Congress in the United States:

“ISSUES COVERED IN FRANCIS' SPEECH BEFORE CONGRESS (In numbers):

“Number of times Francis referred to himself: 43
Number of times Francis attacked the death penalty:
 2
Number of times Francis condemned the Christian Holocaust in the Middle East: ZERO!
Number of times Francis condemned the crime of abortion: ZERO!
Number of times Francis condemned the crime of adoption of abandoned and orphaned by homosexuals: ZERO!
Number of times Francis mentioned Marriage as the union of a husband and a wife: ZERO!

“Now for the REAL CLINCHER: Number of times Francis mentioned Jesus Christ: ZERO! Whose Vicar is he? Am I missing something?”

“The Pope” began his speech this way: "I am most grateful for your invitation to address this Joint Session of Congress in 'the land of the free and the home of the brave.'” 

By referring to the Americans as “the free”, “the pope” was giving his nod of approval to their atheistic democracy. But of course, America is not a free land and Americans are in no way free people, because freedom is not a natural endowment for every human being but something to be won by the acceptance of truth (John 8: 32). On the contrary, Americans, with the exception of those who faithfully believe in Christ and are ready to face the consequences of their Faith, are slaves, and their fatherland—though unknown to them—has equally become the land of slaves. A society where any kind of nonsense (such as gay “marriage”, abortion and the rest) is not only acceptable but also “lawful”, is not a free society at all but a society massively enslaved by the devil! “The Pope” was aware of all the evils in this unfortunate land, yet he never mentioned any let alone attacked them.  

As Father Paul Kramer rightly stated, false conservatives—even many who are fully aware of Catholic prophecies about what is going on currently—blindly and cowardly acknowledge Jorge Bergoglio as pope even though the man is daily proving to them through his words and actions that the contrary is actually the case. False traditionalists viewed the prospect of “the pope”’s visit with a mixture of hope and trepidation: hope, because the visit would force heavy media coverage of religious issues; trepidation, because of Bergoglio’s mixed record on issues ranging from climate change to illegal immigration. However, here are just a few ways in which “the Pope” insulted them during his visit, as partly observed by Ben Shapiro in his piece ‘Seven Ways Pope Francis Slapped Conservatives in the United States’:
  • Allowing President Obama to Represent Himself as An Advocate of Religious Liberty 
On Wednesday, while speaking at the White House, President Obama said, "Here in the United States, we cherish religious liberty...[The United States] stand[s] with you in defence of religious freedom and interfaith dialogue, knowing that people everywhere must be able to live out their faith free from fear and intimidation". (Note that the novel idea of religious liberty is simply anti-Catholic. See this: http://sspx.org/en/religious-liberty-contradicts-tradition).

Meanwhile, President Obama’s IRS cracks down on religious charities and his Obamacare regime targets religious institutions; his administration looks into persecuting religious Americans for failing to participate in same-sex weddings. A well-timed comment from the “Pope” could have been useful here! Instead, Bergoglio stood by and said nothing, absolutely nothing! Rather, he went to visit the Little Sisters of the Poor—and the media ignored it. The “Pope” knows full well when the cameras are on him. They were on him with Obama. They weren’t during his side jaunt to visit those victimized by the President!
  • Ripping Capitalism Before Congress
Speaking before Congress, “the Pope” spent an inordinate amount of time lecturing legislators on the need to redistribute wealth in the name of the poor. He praised Dorothy Day, a Catholic organizer who once wrote, “We need to overthrow, not the government, as the authorities are always accusing the Communists ‘of conspiring to teach [us] to do,’ but this rotten, decadent, putrid industrial capitalist system which breeds such suffering in the whited sepulcher of New York.” …And no socialist has come up with a better formulation of the rhetorical slight-of-hand that equates individual liberty with collectivism than “the Pope” did before Congress:

“If politics must truly be at the service of the human person, it follows that it cannot be a slave to the economy and finance. Politics is, instead, an expression of our compelling need to live as one, in order to build as one the greatest common good: that of a community which sacrifices particular interests in order to share, in justice and peace, its goods, its interests, its social life. I do not underestimate the difficulty that this involves, but I encourage you in this effort.”

“The Pope” has long excoriated capitalism as a brutal system of exploitation, says Shapiro. To the celebration of leftists everywhere, “the Pope” has repeatedly dismissed capitalism as immoral, saying there is no evidence that capitalism brings about “greater justice and inclusiveness in the world.” This is true if you know nothing about world history or economics. “The Pope”’s excoriation of free markets in the United States came as no surprise, but it came as an unwelcome slap nonetheless.

Calling on government to help the environment, “the pope” said:

"I am convinced that we can make a difference and I have no doubt that the United States—and this Congress—have an important role to play. Now is the time for courageous actions and strategies, aimed at implementing a 'culture of care' and 'an integrated approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature.'”

As Fr. Vincent Miceli, S.J., explained in his essay on Call to Action entitled “Detroit: A Call to Revolution in the Church”: “The following are some of the demands the Church simply cannot fulfill for such is not her mission: 1. Wipe out poverty, ignorance, prejudice and war. 2. Democratize the whole world. 3. Stop the sale of arms everywhere. 4. Back the E.R.A. as a constitutional amendment. Like her Saviour, the Church will not turn stones into bread, thereby becoming the Mother of Socialism or a millennium of this world..’

"..the 'theologies of liberation', which reserve credit for restoring to a place of honor the great texts of the prophets and of the Gospel in defense of the poor, go on to a disastrous confusion between the 'poor' of the Scripture and the 'proletariat' of Marx. In this way they pervert the Christian meaning of the poor, and they transform the fight for the rights of the poor into a class fight within the ideological perspective of the class struggle. For them the 'Church of the poor' signifies the Church of the class which has become aware of the requirements of the revolutionary struggle as a step toward liberation and which celebrates this liberation in its liturgy." (Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Instruction on Certain Aspects of the 'Theology of Liberation,'" No. 10).

Paul Anthony Melanson, who quoted the above document, writes: “The supernatural faith of Catholicism is being watered down for the sake of a new humanitarian religion. Dialogue is key for this new religion which has abandoned the notion that we must, "Let love be without dissimulation. Hating that which is evil, cleaving to that which is good." (Romans 12: 29).
  • Pushing Environmental Extremism
“The Pope” spent a significant amount of time before Congress talking about climate change and encouraging Congress to restrict American economic growth to fight that chimera. But at the United Nations, he really let loose, suggesting that the environment has “rights”—an argument unfamiliar to many readers of the Bible! People may have obligations toward the environment, but the environment has no freestanding “rights” from humanity; God does not weep when a tree is used for lumber to house a poor family. This logic, says Shapiro, leads to the Malthusian anti-humanism of the deep green left.

“The Pope” then tied his view of environmental rights to his desire for global redistribution of income in the name of the poor, and suggested that governments must guarantee “lodging, labour, and land” to the poor. How? Presumably by taking resources away from some and handing them to others. This reeks of Marxism, pure and simple. “The Pope” then added that “the large-scale destruction of biodiversity can threaten the very existence of the human species.” Now, I like whales as much as the next fellow, but zero humans will die if the blue whale goes extinct, unless the aliens come back to communicate with them (see Star Trek IV for more information on this possibility). “The Pope” even suggested that war was bad because it was a “dramatic assault on the environment.” War, human trafficking, exploitation, and environmental degradation are bad if they hurt human beings. War is not bad primarily because it harms trees and squirrels.
  • Ignoring Abortion, Talking Death Penalty
“The Pope” said nothing about abortion before President Obama. Then, while speaking before Democrats in Congress who support federal funding for abortion machine Planned Parenthood, he said that all human life must be treated with respect—and proceeded quickly to glide right over the abortion issue entirely, settling on the death penalty instead! 35 murderers, noted Shapiro, were executed in 2014 in the United States, while one million unborn children were killed!
  • Warning about fundamentalism
"Our world is increasingly a place of violent conflict, hatred and brutal atrocities, committed even in the name of God and of religion. We know that no religion is immune from forms of individual delusion or ideological extremism. This means that we must be especially attentive to every type of fundamentalism, whether religious or of any other kind.”

Many false conservatives (with the exception of a few) of course can hardly understand what the apostate implies here by “religious fundamentalism”. Put simply, he is referring to anyone who really takes his region seriously—for instance, a devout Catholic who believes he has a duty of converting non-Catholics to the Catholic Faith. (Catholics who do this are even now put in the same category as, for instance, Muslim suicide bombers!). See more here: http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=23850
  • Ignoring Same-Sex “Marriage”
“The Pope” “encouraged” marriage in his speech before Congress, and talked vaguely of the value of family. He complained of threats to the family. But he said nothing about what those threats were!—with the very Supreme Court that declared itself above God in terms of defining marriage sitting right in front of him!

“The Pope”’s visit could have been an incredible opportunity to fight against Godless immorality in the United States. Instead, “the Pope” largely used the opportunity to push leftism slathered over with paper-thin theology. That’s a tragic loss for both the world and for the religious community fighting for survival against the onslaught of an increasingly aggressive secular left—a secular left that cheered the Pope but will be happy to either coopt or crush his church at the first available opportunity.
  • Famous Homosexual Serves as Lector During NYC “Mass”
Meanwhile, a scandal erupted in the Big Apple on Friday,  September 25, after a “Papal Mass” at Madison Square Garden, where a famous open homosexual served as lector during “Pope” Francis' “Mass”. 

Mo Rocca, an American comedian, actor and journalist, well known for his role on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and now a commentator for CBS, admitted his homosexuality during a podcast interview in 2011.

The then 42-year-old Rocca spoke of his joy at being in New York at the site of the Stonewall Riots

Rocca said, "You gotta' be there for a piece of history like that. ... [It] was very memorable and emotional and a great place to be."

After publicly announcing his homosexuality and support for gay "marriage," because of his fame Rocca quickly skyrocketed in popularity among LGBT activist circles. 

When Rocca appeared on live news feeds as the lector for the "Papal Mass", Twitter blew up with scandalous praise as everyone saw this as the "Church"'s — and specifically "Pope" Francis'—official acceptance of homosexuality and gay “marriage”, the puzzling (to many)  Who am I to Judge” now well demonstrated.
