Atila Guimaraes has gone into a Sherlockian mode. This is what he has come up with in trying to unscramble and decipher that "Third Secret": (Read his whole article here:  http://traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/g33ht_Decipher.htm)

Now I am going to reveal the third fragment of the secret;
 This part is the apostasy in the Church!

 Our Lady showed us a Church, but this was a
 Church of hell, and an individual who I describe as the 'holy
 Father' leading a multitude that was praising the devil,
 but there was a difference from a true holy Father, the gaze,
 this one had the gaze of evil.

 Then we saw the same Pope entering a Church,
 after some moments, but there is no way to describe the
 ugliness of that place, it looked like a gray cement fortress
 with broken angles and windows similar to eyes;
 it had a beak in the roof of the building.

 Next, we raised our eyes to Our Lady who
 said to us: You saw the apostasy in the Church.

 Because the dogma of the faith is not conserved in Rome, its authority
 will be removed and delivered to Fatima. The cathedra [or chair] of Rome will be
 destroyed and a new one built in Fatima.

 In the kingdom of John Paul II the cornerstone of Peter's tomb
 will be removed and transferred to Fatima.

 This letter can be opened by the holy Father, but it must be
 announced after Pius XII and before 1960.

 If 69 weeks after this order is announced, Rome continues its
 abomination, the city will be destroyed.

 Our Lady told us that this is written, [in] Daniel 9:24-25 and Matthew 21:42-44.

SCRAMBLED TEXT:                          

DECIPHERED TEXT:                          


I think good old Atila has done an outstanding job of making sense out of this quagmire.
.
The copy (translation and Portuguese) I saw at first had too many inconsistencies and confusions.
The indentations were totally bothersome to me and made me think, "This must be a fake."
.
But his deciphered text actually makes sense. Plus, he has resolved the problem of what "turn of phrase" would have been difficult to understand without a keen familiarity with the colloquial way of speaking in Portugal. Atlia knows Portuguese very well, and his prowess at making connection with English as well as other languages would have made him capable of performing the obfuscation work that John XXIII apparently assigned to some unnamed Vatican linguist and falsifier. Now, instead of doing the dirty work of scrambling the letter, he's turning it around and UN-scrambling it.  
.
I don't see any problem with what he proposes here. I'll have to think about it for a few days, though. This isn't something to take lightly.

________________________________________________________________
Trying to Decipher a Scrambled Message
Atila S. Guimarães

Encouraged by the verdict of a famed Spanish graphologist affirming the authenticity of the Sister Lucy’s handwriting in the “Third Secret’ of Fatima we posted in April 2010 on our website, I have returned to analyze it more carefully.

Note: To follow this analysis in an easier way, print the larger text here

I always had suspicions regarding the date April 1, 1944 (line 1), April Fools’ Day, which most probably should have been January 4, 1944, and by the ill-sounding expression “the Cathedral of Rome” (line 21), which to make sense should be “Cathedra or Chair of Rome” signifying the Holy See. Some days ago I started to scrutinize that “Third Secret” looking for more traces of a possible falsification.

I found some and worked with them. It is the fruit of this labor that I pass on to my readers in this article.




  • If some falsifier entered the picture, he maintained the same number of lines and paragraphs as the original message of Sr. Lucy. He also kept the same words written by Sr. Lucy. Why would he do this? I will try to answer this question during my analysis.
  • If a falsification was made, it probably took place at the time of John XXIII, who was the Pope targeted to receive the message, open it and make it public. If we take the year of 1960 as a point of reference, we have a span of about 57 years between the falsification and today.
  • If a falsifier is present, he used a non-electronic photographic system of cutting and pasting pieces of her writings in a different order from the original. The goal of his alterations would be to maintain the same handwriting but scramble the meanings of some parts. I have no idea about the tools or the method he would have employed. I will just be analyzing the fruit of his work.
  • My work will be basically to try to undo what this falsifier would have done. So, I will also cut and paste – through a Photoshop program I use – the parts that I believe were shuffled or adulterated and post them in the places I think they should originally be. At the end of this article I will propose a new presentation of the “Third Secret” TIA posted.


[MY COMMENT-- At that time (1960) before computers and word processors and Photoshop, etc., someone doing this work of espionage would not have been likely thinking of how technology will improve in the future, so his attention to such details that Attila has discovered and perceived may have been not worth considering in 1960. Therefore, Atila's ability to untangle the mess today would have been inconceivable to the person doing the job in those days. We are very fortunate to have Atila S. Guimarães to help us with this puzzle today.]


Inconsistent indentations of the paragraphs 

One of the first good impressions I had when reading this message is the discipline of Sr. Lucy's writing. Her handwriting is quite regular, possibly having a lined paper under her letter to orient her. She also made paragraphs with a very marked and consistent indentation, possibly also following that marked paper underneath.

This style of indentation can be noticed in paragraphs one and two; then, suddenly, paragraph three lacks an indentation. The same indentation returns again in paragraphs four, five, six and seven. Paragraphs eight and nine also are not indented.

The lack of indentation in the last two paragraphs can be easily explained: She was reaching the end of her letter and probably wanted to keep the message on a single page. So, she dispensed with the indentation and contracted her handwriting. This makes sense.

But why didn’t she use indentation in paragraph three, when she was still at the beginning of her letter? It is difficult to imagine that she would be careless in a letter revealing a secret about the most important episode that happened in her life. Added to this, she was writing, under the command of the Bishop, a message to be delivered to the Pope. It is almost impossible to believe that she would be hasty or careless in the presentation of her letter.

Considering this, I thought: Something looks strange to me in the unindented paragraph three. It could reveal the presence of a falsifier who introduced some texts and, for this reason, was obliged to eliminate the indentation and diminish the space between the words in that paragraph.

With this suspicion in mind, I went on to check another oddity that appears in paragraph two.

Empty spaces & poor grammar

When I analyzed line 6, I saw that there is a large empty space after the word “louvando-o” [praising him]. Now then, the phrase of line 7 that starts with the word “mas” [but] appears to be another paragraph without indentation, but actually it is the continuation of line 6. Why would she leave this long space and continue the thought on a new line without indenting it? It makes no sense.

A useful parallel observation: Throughout this message, Sr. Lucy’s “m” in lower case looks like a capital “M” for starting a word. It is a peculiarity of her handwriting. This can be noticed in line 4, the 3rd word – “mostrou-nos” [she showed us] – and in line 10, the 4th word and the last word – “mas” [but] and “modo” [way]. In line 16, the “m” in the 2nd word –“mas” – looks correct in lower case.

So, whether we consider the first word “mas” in line 7 as written in upper case as coming after a period or in lower case as coming after a coma, it is the logical continuation of the phrase of line 6:

line 4 - (indentation) Our Lady showed us the individual
line 5 - who I describe as the 'holy Father' in front of a multitude
line 6 - that was praising him. [STRANGE LONG EMPTY SPACE]
line 7 - but there was a difference from a true Holy Father

Therefore, a long space should not exist between the last word of line 6 and the first word of line 7. Since it exists, this conclusion seems indisputable: Someone deleted a part of line 6 and did not replace it with anything else.

At this point, the hypothesis of a falsifier becomes much more probable.

Another strong suspicion came to my mind looking at the words of line 6: “que estava louvando-o” [that was praising him]. In Portuguese the end of this phrase sounds awkward. Grammatically speaking the correct usage would be “que o estava louvando.”

It is bad grammar in Portuguese to end a phrase with the pronoun “o.” Why would Sr. Lucy do this? She most probably had a good Portuguese, as I can surmise from her other writings. As a Brazilian, I have personally observed that in Portugal even the simple people speak and write a very good Portuguese.

Therefore, this placement of the pronoun “o” seemed suspicious to me. If the hyphen in “louvando-o” [praising him] were removed, the pronoun “o” [him] would change its meaning and become the article “o” [the].

For a falsifier, it would be a very simple matter to insert a small hyphen in “louvando-o.

So, I deleted the hyphen and the phrase completely changed its meaning. Instead of the translation of lines 5 and 6 being “the ‘holy Father’ in front of a multitude that was praising him,” I found another meaning: “the ‘holy Father’ in front of a multitude that was praising the…” The what or whom?

Something is missing here. It certainly looked as if the falsifier had inserted that little hyphen to hide the indirect object of the original phrase of Sr. Lucy.

I searched for an indirect object that would fit into that incomplete phrase. I found it in line 8: The two words “do demônio” [of the devil] seemed superfluous. I translate lines 7 and 8 to make my point.

line 7 - but there was a difference from a true Holy Father, his gaze
line 8 - of the devil, this one had the eyes of evil.

If I remove the words “do demônio” [of the devil] from the phrase above, it continues to perfectly express what Sr. Lucy wanted to say. So, I thought: These superfluous words could be the ones that the falsifier deleted from line 6 and moved to line 8. So, I placed the extra words in line 6 to see how they would read. I also deleted the neck of the "d " of "do" to make it "ao," because I suspected that the neck could also have been introduced.

It became something terrible: “the ‘holy Father’ in front of a multitude that was praising the devil.” In Portuguese there is a nuance in the expression “em frente” that is not fully translated by the English equivalent “in front of.” It can also mean “leading.” So, the translation would be “the holy Father leading a multitude that was praising the devil.”

line 5- Church of hell, and an individual who I describe as the 'Holy
line 6- Father,' leading a multitude that was praising the devil.

If this was the original text of Sr. Lucy, she made one of the most violent accusations against a Pope ever made in History. And if this accusation came from the Mother of God, then the Pope would be in serious trouble.

If this was, indeed, the original message, it would clearly explain why John XXIII did not reveal this message and would have asked a falsifier to scramble it in a way that would be very difficult to decipher in case it were found.

It also would explain the words of Card. Ottavianni, which I paraphrase: John XXIII ordered the Third Secret to bury the secret in a deep, deep well so that no one could ever find it. Metaphorically speaking, wouldn’t this scrambling of the original text be the “well” he mentioned?

Rebuilding paragraph two

Even after placing “ao demônio” in line 6, I saw that there was still an empty space. What could fill it appropriately? I searched for more superfluous words in the other parts of the message.

In line 10, I found the word “Ygreja” [Church] used three times in a redundant way, entirely unnecessary for the idea to be clear.

line 9 - Then, after some moments we saw the same Pope entering
line 10 - a Church, but this Church was the Church of hell; there is no way

There are too many repetitions of the word Church. Also, line 10 is very crowded and squeezed. So, I thought: Another insertion was made here; let me see from where it was taken. I started to look for a place where the word Church could fit well.

I believe I found the right place in line 4. Let me explain.

Line 4 was another awkward construction. It reads: “Nossa Senhora mostrou-nos uma vista do um inidivíduo.” Translated: "Our Lady showed us a view of the one individual"

There are many mistakes in this construction. To say that someone shows a view of someone is a redundancy. That is why in our first redaction of the letter we translated the line as simply "Our Lady showed us the individual…"

Also there is an error in the use of the articles:

Further, “inidivíduo” [inidividual] is incorrectly spelled; it should be “indivíduo” [individual]. I absolutely do not believe that Sr. Lucy could have constructed that phrase or written “inidivíduo.” So, the falsifier introduced something in line 4 that was not in the original.

I took out that ill-sounding expression and replaced it with part of the phrase that used the word Church three times.

So, lines 4-5 became: “Nossa Senhora mostrou-nos uma Ygreja, mas esta era a Ygreja do inferno” [Our Lady showed us a Church, but this was the Church of hell],

line 4- Our Lady showed us a Church, but this was the
line 5 - Church of Hell, and an individual who I describe as the 'holy

It makes much more sense, since some paragraphs later [line 15] Our Lady tells the children: “You saw the apostasy in the Church,” but the Church as an institution had not been mentioned.

Thus, the whole paragraph two became more consistent. It now reads: “Our Lady showed us a Church, but this was a Church of hell, and an individual who I describe as the ‘holy Father’ leading a multitude that praised the devil, but there was a difference from a true holy Father, the gaze, this one had the eyes of evil.”

line 4-Our Lady showed us a Church, but this was the Church of hell,
line 5 - and an individual who I describe as the ‘holy
Line 6 - Father’ leading a multitude that praised the devil,
line 7 - but there was a difference from a true holy Father, the gaze,
Line 8 - this one had the eyes of evil

Therefore, to avoid mentioning that the children had seen the Church as an infernal institution with a Pope at its head who was making public praise of the devil, the falsifier made deletions and replacements.

After these changes to paragraph two, the result was that paragraph three read better, becoming much less busy and allowing me to insert the same indentation used in the other paragraphs, giving more harmony and consistency to the presentation of the letter.

These are the essential rearrangements I made. The others did not change the substance of the message; they do, however, present a better order.

Inconsistency of topics in paragraph four

At this point in my analysis, I had come to the conclusion that the entire message had been scrambled. So, I looked for other places were the falsifier had left traces of his action.

Another bad impression came from the change of topics in paragraph four. Lines 14 - 16 of the falsified version reads:

line 14 - Next, we raised our eyes to Our Lady who said to us,
line 15 - You saw the apostasy of the Church, this letter can be opened by the Holy
Line 16 - Father, but it must be announced after Pius XII and before 1960.

It seems to me that the part that starts with “this letter can be…” was taken from other place and inserted in line 15 to deviate the attention of a possible reader. Actually, the recommendation about when to open the letter should be closer to the end, after Our Lady had drawn the consequences of her affirmation: “You saw the apostasy in the Church.”

So, I kept this important declaration of the apostasy in the Church in one entire paragraph to highlight it and placed paragraphs six and seven, which describe the punishments for the apostasy, closer to it.

After this, I inserted paragraph five, about the cornerstone of Peter’s tomb, which is another consequence of the apostasy. Since in this new paragraph the first letter of the word “esta” [this] was in lower case, I copied the upper case “E” of the first word of paragraph three “Então” [then] and pasted it over the “e” of the “esta.

Then, I made a new paragraph with those words of Our Lady’s order to open the secret. It seemed to me that they belong there.

I left the two last paragraphs without any change. They seemed well placed to me.

The final deciphered version thus reads, line by line:

Now I am going to reveal the third fragment of the secret;
This part is the apostasy in the Church!

Our Lady showed us a Church, but this was a
Church of hell, and an individual who I describe as the 'holy
Father' leading a multitude that was praising the devil,
but there was a difference from a true holy Father, the gaze,
this one had the gaze of evil.

Then we saw the same Pope entering a Church,
after some moments, but there is no way to describe the
ugliness of that place, it looked like a gray cement fortress
with broken angles and windows similar to eyes;
it had a beak in the roof of the building.

Next, we raised our eyes to Our Lady who
said to us: You saw the apostasy in the Church.

Because the dogma of the faith is not conserved in Rome, its authority
will be removed and delivered to Fatima. The cathedra [or chair] of Rome will be
destroyed and a new one built in Fatima.

In the kingdom of John Paul II the cornerstone of Peter's tomb
will be removed and transferred to Fatima.

This letter can be opened by the holy Father, but it must be
announced after Pius XII and before 1960.

If 69 weeks after this order is announced, Rome continues its
abomination, the city will be destroyed.

Our Lady told us that this is written, [in] Daniel 9:24-25 and Matthew 21:42-44.

Unity in the adulterations

As I reach the end of my analysis, I see that the falsifier had three principal goals in sight:


Final considerations

No one remains unpunished
after trying to ridicule of Our Lady
Another change I made was in line 1. I changed the date from 1/4/944 – April 1, 1944 – to 4/1/944 – January 4, 1944 – because in Portugal and Brazil the order of dates in letters is day/month/year.

Why did the falsifier give the date of April 1 to his scrambled message? Most probably to discredit it as much as possible and make people believe that the whole history of Fatima is just a “story of children,” as Benedict XVI called it.

In order to vindicate Our Lady, her message and Sr. Lucy, I am posting this analysis on the same date of April Fools' Day to make fools of those who want to ridicule Our Lady.

God also knows how to use irony.

Do I imagine that this is the complete deciphering of the message of Fatima and what I presented here is the true Third Secret?

I just exposed what I believe to be wrong. The result is a text that makes much more sense than the docuмent we already had. If this is the real secret that Sr. Lucy wrote, I would be greatly honored to have brought it to light. If it is not, this analysis is meant to foment the debate in order to induce the real docuмent to come to light.

This is serious cloak-and-dagger stuff.

The "Cathedral of Rome" is St. John Lateran.  That makes no sense in this letter.
.
Consider:
.
IF what Atlila has published here is really what took place and the deciphered text he proposes is the actual letter of Sister Lucia which is the Third Secret, THEN, just try to imagine the reaction of most Novus Ordo church-goers when they hear the news. They're going to accuse Atila of being a "conspiracy theorist." Alternatively, if the "news" doesn't make headlines, they're going to say we're getting fake news from unreliable sources and you can't believe everything you see anymore. I know one for example who will tell me, I'm sure, that HE EVEN ADMITS TO USING PHOTOSHOP!
.
If any of us are going to attempt to TELL them about this news, we had best be prepared for their accusations and heated rhetoric.
.
They're going to say, "You just don't believe the Pope, do you?" or "You must be sedevacantist." Because if we take issue with what was passed out as the "third secret" in A.D. 2000, we must "have an ax to grind" and we must just be "looking for something else to disbelieve," because we are not being "faithful" to the Holy See like good Catholics. Right?
.

What does Daniel 9:24-25 and Matthew 21:42-44 say?

From the drbo.org website

Daniel chapter 9:
Quote
[24] Seventy weeks are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, that transgression may be finished, and sin may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the saint of saints may be anointed. [25] Know thou therefore, and take notice: that from the going forth of the word, to build up Jerusalem again, unto Christ the prince, there shall be seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: and the street shall be built again, and the walls in straitness of times.

NOTES:
[24] Seventy weeks: Viz., of years, (or seventy times seven, that is, 490 years,) are shortened; that is, fixed and determined, so that the time shall be no longer.
[25] From the going forth of the word: That is, from the twentieth year of king Artaxerxes, when by his commandment Nehemias rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, 2 Esd. 2. From which time, according to the best chronology, there were just sixty-nine weeks of years, that is, 483 years to the baptism of Christ, when he first began to preach and execute the office of Messias.-- Ibid.
[25] In straitness of times: angustia temporum: which may allude both to the difficulties and opposition they met with in building: and to the shortness of the time in which they finished the wall, viz., fifty-two days.


Matthew chapter 21:
Quote
 [42] Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes. [43] Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof. [44] And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

Here is a portion of an online article at the CFN website from a year ago. The colored portion in the middle has a little more meaning, it seems to me, in light of Atila's "diciphered text": 

http://www.cfnews.org/page10/page104/socci_indictment_of_francis.html

The reference to Romans 1:22-23 is memorable.

Quote
Lions and Tigers and Bears

            Under the heading “Disturbing Show,” Socci denounces the preposterous and scandalous ecological light show projected onto the façade of Saint Peter’s on no less than the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Entitled Fiat Lux (Let there be Light), the show was “a mocking challenge and a parody of the Gospel in which the expression indicates the act of the Creator and then identifies the Light that is Christ who has come to illuminate the darkness.” 
            Replete with pictures of animals but devoid of even a hint of Christian symbolism, this spectacle represents a complete reversal of the message of the Gospel: “the world projects its light on the Church immersed in darkness. And in that show the Church receives the light of the world ( p. 1 3 9 ).” And as the world’s imagery was cast onto the basilica that stands at the heart of the Church, the light on the crèche in Saint Peter’s Square was extinguished because “the light of the Baby Jesus must never disturb the staging of the new ecological religion ( p. 139 ).”
            Here Socci points to a stunningly appropriate passage in Scripture, from the Epistle to the Romans: “For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of four-footed beasts, and of creeping things (Rom. 1:22-23).” And here yet another devastating assessment thrown at the feet of Francis:

            "But above all, Father Bergoglio [a reference to the Pope’s penchant for introducing himself thus], how is it possible that you do not notice and do not indicate other emergencies than those of the climate, or at least with equal insistence? The apostasy of entire peoples from the faith of the true God is not a drama that merits your most ardent appeals? The war against the family and against life? The neglect of Christ and the massacre of Christian communities? It seems that only the environment and other themes of the religion of political correctness merit your passion. 

            "A great French intellectual, Alain Finkielkraut, has described you as “Supreme Pontiff of the world journalistic ideology.” Is he wrong? Does he exaggerate?

            "In effect, in 'your' Church it seems that the themes of separating refuse and recycling take precedence over the tragedy of entire peoples who, in the turn of a few years, have abandoned the faith. You sound the alarm over “global warming” while the Church for two millennia has sounded it concerning the fire of Hell" (p. 142).

            From here, Socci launches into a discussion of the Message of Fatima and precisely its warnings about the loss of souls in Hell for all eternity. The Madonna of Fatima, he writes, “did not present the calculations of environmentalists on the climate of the planet, but caused the little children to see the eternal fire of Hell, and told them, sadly: ‘You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. Many souls go to Hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them.” 
            This, Socci continues, “is the real tragedy, Holy Father, the eternal perdition of multitudes. Not—if you will permit me—the loss of biodiversity, or at least not for us Christians. Yet you never speak of it. Rather, sometimes you almost induce the belief that everyone will be saved because ‘God does not condemn. (p. 142-143).’”
            Summing up his unconcealed contempt for the Pope’s preoccupation with global warming rather than the eternal fire of which Our Lady came to warn the world at Fatima, Socci writes:

            "Before the spiritual catastrophe of the eternal perdition of multitudes, which induced the mother of God to come earnestly to Earth, I find it frankly incomprehensible that you preoccupy yourself for the most part—as you did in your encyclical Laudato si —with biodiversity, the fate of worms and little reptiles, the lakes, and the abuse of plastic bottles and air-conditioning" ( p. 1 4 8 ).

A Pope Who Doesn’t Like Catholics?

            Socci’s indictment next proceeds to the heading “Attack on the Faith,” a reference to enemies within the Church since Vatican II, whose subversion has been lamented (too little and too late) by every Pope since the Council, including Benedict XVI. It was Benedict who (during the Mass for the opening of the conclave that elected him) declared that today having “a clear and certain faith” is denounced as “fundamentalism.” Citing that testimony, Socci throws a series of gauntlets Francis’s feet:

            "I invite you, Father Bergoglio, to reread attentively these words because they describe dramatically what is occurring during your pontificate. In fact, it is precisely you personally, Holy Father, who accuse of 'fundamentalism' those who have a clear and certain faith and bear witness to their fidelity to Catholic doctrine….

            "You, curiously, are convinced that the danger for the Church of today is Christians fervent in their faith and those pastors who defend the Catholic creed. In your Evangelii gaudium you attack “some who dream of a monolithic doctrine” and those who “use a language completely orthodox.”

            "Should we then prefer those who are carried here and there by every ideology and use heretical language? Evidently yes, seeing that they are never attacked by you.

            "If one chooses any day, one will almost always find that you, in your discourse, attack those you call 'rigorists,' 'rigid,' that is, men with fervent faith, whom you identify with 'Scribes and Pharisees'" (p. 153-155).

            Socci does not mince words in addressing Francis’s well-known constant resort to a false antithesis between mercy and doctrinal rigor, citing one of the innumerable discourses in which Francis declares that so-called “doctors of the law,” who know doctrine well, are estranged from the mercy of God. “But you, Holy Father,” writes Socci:

            "should overcome your personal resentment toward those who have studied; you should know that, in the Christian horizon, it is completely absurd to oppose mercy to Truth, because both are incarnated in the same Jesus Christ. Thus it is false to oppose doctrine to the pastoral, because that would be to oppose the Logos (doctrine) to the Good Shepherd (the Truth made flesh): Jesus is the Logos (the Truth made flesh) and, at the same time, the Good Shepherd" (p. 159). 

            Socci also focuses on Francis’s justly infamous speech attacking his conservative opposition at the close of Synod 2016, wherein he blasted the prelates who had resisted having the pre-written, heterodox Instrumentum laboris shoved down their throats as “the Synod’s” final report. As Francis declared in that harangue, his opponents had:

            "… closed hearts that often hide even behind the teaching of the Church, or behind good intentions, to sit in the chair of Moses and judge, sometimes with superficiality and superiority, to judge difficult cases and wounded families…. 

            "The true defenders of doctrine are not those who defend the letter but the spirit; not the idea but the man; not the formula, but the gratuitous love of God and of his pardon." 

            Here we see the umpteenth example of Francis’ penchant for the false antithesis: the letter versus the “spirit” of doctrine; the idea versus the man; the “formula” versus the love of God and his pardon. But there is no opposition at all between these concepts; in fact, they are inseparable.
            Socci has had quite enough of the past three years of this sort of Modernist sophistry, and he fires with both barrels:

            "So doing, do you not think that you have disqualified your predecessors and all the Magisterium of the Church, in order to affirm your strictly personal concept of mercy different from the doctrine of the Church?...

            "Evidently, even Jesus would have been, according to you, doctrinaire, a rigorist, one who defends the idea instead of the man.

            "In effect—applying your criterion—we would have to say that Jesus would not have been accepted to a seminary during your pontificate because he was the most fundamentalist of all; in fact, not only was he certain of the truth, but he proclaimed himself the Truth made flesh ('I am the way, the truth, and the life.' Jn 14,6)."

The praise of the devil referred to in this diciphered text is environmentalism and global warming raised to the status of a religion in which moral depravity, impurity and blasphemy of the sacraments and Our Blessed Mother are ignored.
