Christ and the Poor: Francis brazenly distorts Gospel Reading for Monday in Holy Week

"Or even, if we don’t enter this culture of indifference," at least he got this right. What a culture of indifference we live in! Religion is relative.
"The man is shamelessly defiant in his apostasy! And why is he? He is because he can be" due to the indifference and its fruit, the complete lack of common sense. Modern man does not see the contradiction here. A well-written article, thank you.

    .... the Jesuit squatter in Vatican City ....

    Despite the dire situation, that Jorge moniker is hilarious. Ironically, there are numerous “squatters” in ALL our POOR major American cities ... thanks to liberalism and their War on Poverty. Great job godless, secular libs

      Notice his protestation that he is not a communist.

      What political movement has caused more death, poverty, and hardship than communism?

      Even Protestants have told me that they believe Jorge is a communist.

    Many Protestants detest Bergoglio no matter how he placates them. For them his corruption of Scripture is his greatest crime but his brand of South American Communism infuriates them. When they look at this fool they believe this is a Catholic. Sadly many in the Vatican II cult mimic the fool so Protestants feel justified in their anticatholic attitude.

    Placates them? In my culture it is said that "between two chairs, he fell on the floor", or, by "chasing two rabbits at the same time, he caught none". By trying to placate all sides, he pleases no one. There is one thing in Church history he (and the Lefebvrists) should have known better: that compromise on doctrine never works, see for example semi-arianism.

    What are the four characteristics that Bishop Sanborn give describing whatever comes out of this man's mouth: heresy, ignorance, stupidity and…. blasphemy…. pure and simple…

    "When Jesus says: “The poor you have always with you,” He means: “I will always be with you in the poor. I’ll be present there.” And this isn’t to be a Communist; this is the center of the Gospel: we will be judged on this." Francis April 6th 2020

    What's so incredibly stupid about this statement is if this is what Jesus meant then why would he have said right afterwards "but me you have not always." The center of the Gospel is Jesus himself. Not Jesus in the poor.

    Maybe he left that part out when he was giving his sermon. He probably thinks that the NOite "faithful" have never actually read any part of the Gospels, so have no idea what follows the bit about the poor being always with us ;-)

      "What the Gospel teaches didn’t match what Francis believes, so Francis dumped the Gospel."

      That sounds like another "reformer" Mr. Bergoglio looks up to:
      "That epistle of James gives us much trouble, for the papists embrace it alone and leave out all the rest. Up to this point I have been accustomed just to deal with and interpret it according to the rest of Scriptures. For you will judge that none of it must be set forth contrary to manifest Holy Scripture. Accordingly, if they will not admit my interpretations, then I shall make rubble also of it. I almost feel like throwing Jimmy into the stove, as the priest in Kalenberg did."
      ---Martin Luther, 1542 (Luther's Works 34, 317).

     

     

    Own comment: 

    We have to give this to Beroglio: The man is relentless in promoting his perversions. There is no Scripture verse the man will not twist, no end to the violence he will inflict on any teaching to achieve his simpletonic ends.

    So "the poor you will have with me always" becomes "I am always in the poor" even though the verse in this particular instance goes to great pains to point out that works for the soul are greater than works for the body, and also that those who often speak of the poor often do so through malice rather than genuine concern.
