The Horror!

A Buenos Aires journalist describes Bergoglio

We have many friends around the world, including in the dear Argentine Republic. And we asked a cherished friend Marcelo González, of Panorama Católico Internacional, who knows the Church of Argentina as well as the palm of his hand to send us a report on the new pope.

Here it goes:



   
    The Archbishop of Buenos Aires kneels down to receive the "blessing"
    of Protestant ministers and Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa - Buenos Aires, 2006

    The Horror!

    Of all the unthinkable candidates, Jorge Mario Bergoglio is perhaps the worst. Not because he openly professes doctrines against the faith and morals, but because, judging from his work as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, faith and morals seem to have been irrelevant to him.

    A sworn enemy of the Traditional Mass, he has only allowed imitations of it in the hands of declared enemies of the ancient liturgy. He has persecuted every single priest who made an effort to wear a cassock, preach with firmness, or that was simply interested in Summorum Pontificuм.

    Famous for his inconsistency (at times, for the unintelligibility of his addresses and homilies), accustomed to the use of coarse, demagogical, and ambiguous expressions, it cannot be said that his magisterium is heterodox, but rather non-existent for how confusing it is.

    His entourage in the Buenos Aires Curia, with the exception of a few clerics, has not been characterized by the virtue of their actions. Several are under grave suspicion of moral misbehavior.

    He has not missed any occasion for holding acts in which he lent his Cathedral to Protestants, Muslims, Jєωs, and even to partisan groups in the name of an impossible and unnecessary interreligious dialogue. He is famous for his meetings with protestants in the Luna Park arena where, together with preacher of the Pontifical House, Raniero Cantalamessa, he was "blessed" by Protestant ministers, in a common act of worship in which he, in practice, accepted the validity of the "powers" of the TV-pastors.

    This election is incomprehensible: he is not a polyglot, he has no Curial experience, he does not shine for his sanctity, he is loose in doctrine and liturgy, he has not fought against abortion and only very weakly against ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ "marriage" [approved with practically no opposition from the episcopate], he has no manners to honor the Pontifical Throne. He has never fought for anything else than to remain in positions of power.

    It really cannot be what Benedict wanted for the Church. And he does not seem to have any of the conditions required to continue his work.

    May God help His Church. One can never dismiss, as humanly hard as it may seem, the possibility of a conversion... and, nonetheless, the future terrifies us.

These RC types have really been kidding themselves.

How could these people have expected something good to come out of this fiasco of a resignation?  Are their critical faculties damaged?

What's dangerous is if these "traditionalists," in reaction to a liberal Pope, will put themselves forward as the true representatives of Tradition.

All this modernizing, the question is? Will it save more souls, less
souls, or no souls. You be the judge.
After watching this mass from 2011, the effects will cause more
traditional minded Catholics to completely turn off from the
Vatican 2 church.   Many nominal Catholics will just lose the
faith and drift away into other religions or no religions.
In other words, the Vatican 2 church may just be filled with
people of no faith. Just go to mass for the entertainment value.

It is not Catholic, that I can assuredly say.
Also, despite common belief, South America is NOT CATHOLIC.

Spanish Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ is more intolerant than other kinds.

As many of the comments point out, the statements in that article are apparently false or greatly exagerrated.

First, Bergoglio is not an "enemy of the TLM." As this article shows, there are many TLM's under the MP in Argentina:

Second, he has spoken out strongly against abortion, same sex marriage, euthanasia, contraception.

Third, he rejected Liberation Theology and is not an adherent.

That leaves the 3 Trad objections.

1.) His participating in candle lighting for Hanukah. Why is this a problem? Does anyone honestly think Cardinal Bergoglio practices Judaism or is of Jєωιѕн faith? No. He lit a manorah candle to show good will towards the Jєωs in Argentina and build bridges. So what?

2.) His outdoor stadium Mass is nothing new. JPII, etc. have had the same. It looked to be for youth. Latin American culture uses drums, guitars, and festive music. Hasn't the Church been for inculturation? I didn't see any irreverent acts by him during the Mass. Besides the activities going on outside where he was, it was a straightforward NO Mass, that cannot be a sin per dogma of the Church since the NO Mass came from the Church.

3.) He was prayed over by another Catholic priest and Protestant pastors. So what? Can Protestants not pray for the Pope? Can they not ask God's blessing on the Pope? The Bible tells us to "bless the Lord." Can we not bless a Pope?

This thread seems to point to one thing very clearly.  What we have here is
a new Pope who is very controversial.  

But I do not see the word "controversy" or "controversial" anywhere in the
MSM in his regard.  Do you?  

That says a lot for CI.  

You're getting an objective view here, thanks to the open forum where the
voices of true traditionally-minded Catholics are not drowned out by the
liberal madding crowd.  


After all that, I'm hoping that Our Lady can work a great miracle with Pope
Francis.  The best I can see, he does not show any overt heresy or penchant
for abuse or pride.  He seems to be a kind of 'available victim' to take on
the maledictions of the devil.  He has already said a few things that we have
not heard post-Conciliar popes say, rather in defense of Tradition.  

There are two ways of looking at all these things.  You can be a die-hard
pessimist, looking for rot in all the wrong places, or you can step back and
take in the wide perspective of what's really going on.  And you don't have
to be a flaming liberal to at least hear what everyone has to say.  

Pope Francis seems to me to be the kind of guy that Our Lady needs to
write large her words of true reform:  


"Behold:  
my Son makes all things new."


And then, as at Fatima in 1917, she would stand back and let the miracle happen.
