Silence from the pope for even a few days would be a gift!

"Communion is not a prize for the perfect."

Beautiful and Christ-like.

Christ does not contradict Himself. Christ defined Communion to be reserved to souls in a state of Grace. So the man in Rome is contradicting Christ. We all know the source of contradicting Christ.

You better ask yourself how my post went right over your head!

Maybe Fr Heilman can get through your thick skull:

An expression being thrown around, lately, is that “the Eucharist is not a prize for the perfect.” Well, of course it isn’t, but the context of the use of this expression is usually to justify receiving Holy Communion while not being in a state of grace.

A better way of stating this would be, “the Eucharist is spiritual nutrition for the pure.” It’s true, nobody will ever be perfect in this lifetime, but once the priest prays the words of absolution over a contrite soul, they become “perfectly pure.” Now that soul yearns for the things of God. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament becomes a time to “marinate in God’s graces” ... not a rejection, but a “longing” is set in the soul made pure again.

So, here’s the point … all the problems of the world can be solved if we, once again, become “strong in God’s supernatural grace.” We are called to make the world a better place, but “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26).

The world is “spiritually sick” right now, filled with impurities which are causing them to reject God and crave the junk food of worldliness. It’s no wonder our churches are emptying out. The Church simply *must* help people to believe in the supernatural power of God again. Stop the secularization of our faith!! Build churches that point to heaven, not the world. Offer Mass as though we actually believe that is God in the Holy Eucharist.

This Pope I am sorry to say is a COMPLETE DISASTER for the Church of Christ! As I've said before, we absolutely have had bad Popes in the past, but a Pope that almost on purpose is actually trying to destroy the Church in order to 'create a brand new one' is something that I don't believe we have ever experienced. This is more than just experiencing a 'bad Pope', this is experiencing a 'DESTROYER', and I don't think I'm overstating the problem. I wouldn't have said this even 6 months ago, but.......it NEEDS to be said NOW! May Jesus and Our Blessed Mother come to our aid! And......may the Cardinals do everything in their power to STOP HIM!! This Pope must be stopped. What are the 'Dubia Cardinals' doing? What are they waiting for? Do we not have enough of them to formally 'correct' this Pope? What is the problem here? Lord have MERCY on Your Church!! Lord, help your faithful Priests and Bishops to 'rise to the occasion' and do their part to rid your Church of DISSIDENTS, and help your faithful laity to do the same.....with Charity and BOLDNESS! AMEN!

Excellent Carol. I believe the Pope acts like this because he no longer believes the Catholic faith as we do. Pope Francis is maily on a political mission to make the Catholic Church acceptable to the New World Order.

Own comment: 

Already in 2014, I had no hesitation in stating that Bergoglio "is an agent of the devil". I had seen enough to be sure of it. Now, that position is more or less the standard position for any serious Catholic.

Of course, whenever one posts a piece showing Bergoglio's deviation from the faith and general malice, one can always count on some idiot to come along saying he is 'Christ-like', totally ignoring the real Christ in favour of a fictitious one not worth to be followed by even the smell of his own sweat.

A commenter, Michael Dowd ,writes that Bergoglio is :

I wish I was as positive as he is. Rather, I think Bergoglio knows perfectly well the truths of the faith, and he knows they are true. Rather, I think his motivation is far more sinister. Knowing the truth, he wishes to get people to act against it so as to send each and every single sould he possibly can to hell. Why he wants to do that I do not know, and cannot possibly claim to know.

That he wants to do it is, I would argue, the natural conclusion to be made from the vicious assaults he has had on the Church of Christ.
