Newchurch Hasn't Ordained Any Priests since 1968
 When the Invalid, Protestantized New Ordinal Came into Effect

The Marxist Newpope Francis-Bergoglio is no Catholic. He is still working on overturning the God Whose vicar he claims to be by encouraging "Catholic" divorce and remarriage. Now he is reported to have another anti-Catholic rebellion up his sleeve: married presbyters (ministers). The selection of the theme for the 2018 Newvatican Synod of Newbishops, a group based upon the principles of Luther for radically undermining the Catholic Church, has not yet been announced, but at the top of the list are machinations to undermine the Catholic principle of celibacy for clergy, which was instituted by Our Lord Jesus Christ. Within just a few years, Bergoglio may well outdo the Arch-heretic Martin Luther!

The phony "excuse" for such an abomination would be the so-called "scarcity of priests." But, first of all, Newchurch doesn't have or want any priests. Newchurch hasn't ordained priests since 1968, when the Protestantized New Ordinal came into effect. Since then it has, by its own docuмents, merely "installed" what are called "presbyters," essentially Protestant ministers, who are given no explicit power to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass or to forgive sins. Priests, on the contrary, by definition offer sacrifice to God. The Latin term makes that clear: sacerdos, one who gives (do) the sacred (sacer).

In fact, the Catholic Church has always had a "scarcity of priests" in many places, particularly in missionary countries, which have comprised most of the world. The United States, for example, was officially a missionary country until into the 20th century. In 17th-century China, and even today, there certainly haven't been many priest, and yet the Church flourished. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by Chiesa.]

True Catholics, Francis-Bergoglio is nothing if not a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist. Marxism deliberately undermines Church and state by destabilizing order and tradition. When a society becomes confused and unstable, then an autocrat, like Joseph Stalin, can take over with, if necessary, a bloody revolt. And Newchurchers sit back and approve all of this. If you thought that the loss of the Catholic Church as the "institutional" Church in 1964, and along with it the loss of the Catholic Mass and Sacraments, Catholic doctrine, and Catholic morals, was bad, just wait until Bergoglio finishes implementing the next stage of the Modernist Revolt. It will be worse than Luther's!
