!!! This is not a Church seeking to save sinners; it’s a church seeking to save feelings.!!! And therefore whatever it is, it is not the Catholic Church.

It can be a scary decision as the Conciliar false Church tries to apply fear and guilt for making such a decision.

Yes, and they will even use murder if you know too much. Fortunately, I don’t know enough 😇 But anyway, this is why it is important to know THE Faith so that you have Truth on your side.

“Inside out” is right. Tradition is scorned, novelty extolled. Those committed to sin are welcomed while any shred of orthodoxy is calumniated.

The people you refer too are already under Judgement for the Prophet Isaiah said:

Woe to those who call evil good

and good evil,

who put darkness for light

and light for darkness,

who put bitter for sweet

and sweet for bitter.

What we are seeing is a symptom of the Last Days coming upon us when people will "hate everything good" and "Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure" and above all, as children of the evil one, these people "make a show of being religious", their religion is "not real".

I had hoped there might be a respite from daily outrage, scandal, and blasphemy with the passing of Bergogleo, but Leo seems to have hit the ground running.

Thanks for another catalogue of total moral confusion, Chris. But there is plainly one unifying principle among these and other recent Church stories: Inclusion.

Bishop Schepers is plainly all in favour of including anyone inside the Church. Yes, a blatent celebration of perversion inside St Peter's. Bring it on.

What about including these nice Southern gentlemen in white sheets or these upright young German men in their smart SS uniforms? Er, let me think about that....

Then Dilexi Te, para 99, urges that everyone, especially the poorest, should be invited to the table. Having worked with the poorest people in my very prosperous English town, there were troubling reasons why they were excluded from the BMW driving community around here.

Long term drink and drug abuse and compulsive gambling were among the issues which meant that they were showing up for the free meals provided by various Christian communities.

Plainly the only way that these men had any chance of reentry into employment and mainstream life was a drastic recovery and rehabilitation program. But that would be a very expensive, difficult and time consuming process in which they had to fully consent and cooperate.

As one utterly dedicated local Christian leader, who worked for many months one-on-one to rehabilitate an alcoholic, discovered. This leader was ex-Army, so he was not a credulous ninny. He was doing his Christian best to see the good in everyone. The guy still went back to the bottle....

Many decades ago, George Orwell noted one massive problem among the itinerant tramps who really were the poorest of the poor, even in desperate interwar Britain. He declared that almost every one had some sexual abnormality.

But seeing how eager the Church hierarchy have been to include such people in all aspects of Church life, schools, parishes, seminaries, the College of Cardinals, etc,.....plainly George was being judgemental and exclusionary.

Want to include very troubled boys in the sleeping quarters of young girls? Obviously Archbishop Robert Casey is just being fully inclusive. The parents may of course exercise their bigoted rights and simply withdraw their bigoted daughters from the Scouts.

In 2015, in the first flood of the immigration crisis, Pope Francis was urging western countries to accept everyone, the good and the bad. Fully inclusive all round. Well, there was that massive abuse of women in several German cities a few months later, when Francis seemed to exclude himself from the debate.

But what does anyone's conduct matter anyway? We have Pope Francis quite logically promising the ultimate inclusion - Universal Salvation All Round, as per his audiences in 2017.

Obviously this is rather like the Islamic promise of seventy two insatiable virgins for every warrior. No one is going to come back to complain if the promise is a dud.

People entering countries illegally are NOT immigrants, they are invaders! It is all part of the Kalergi Plan to destroy Western civilization. Count Kalergi wrote a book on it but you may not be able to find it as the globalists have worked to scrub it form the internet to hide it from view as it clearly exposes their intentional plot to destroy civilization.

I understand and agree. There are two Bible verses that are important to consider:

Mathew 26:11 – Douay-Rheims - For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always.

Mathew 10:14 – Douay-Rheims - And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.

The implication is that, at some point, you cannot help and you must move on, essentially omitting those who will not become a part of the Body of Christ. You cannot include those who will not be included.

“We’ve focused on our shared desire for the flourishing of young women rather than on our differences.”

Of course the problem is that diametrically opposed visions (that is, our “differences”) of what it means for young women to flourish logically means that differences can be set aside only at the cost of abandoning the goal of women flourishing. E.g., if I'm convinced that chastity is essential for the flourishing of young women, it is logically self-defeating for me to make common cause with those who think that promiscuity is essential for the flourishing of young women.

When differences are ignored, chaos ensues. This is not just a logical precept, but a reality check.

In our house we call the Girl Scout annual fund raiser “Abortion Cookies,” lest anyone be tempted. Recall the original reason for their banishment from Catholic parishes was their scandalous Planned Parenthood sponsored achievement badge.

Thanks for making other Catholics aware of that. Most are not aware, sadly. The Boy Scouts also endorse the “rainbow people”. Will allow known practitioners of sodomy to join their ranks.

Atonement, i.e. at-one-ment (Latin, adunatio). The doctrine of the Atoning Sacrifice of Our Lord is at the heart of our understanding of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and our participation in this Mystery. Our own 'at-one-ment" at Holy Mass with the Mystery re-presented enables us to abide in Christ for as we worship so we become.

The new church it would seem, still affirms the doctrine of atonement but in this new dispensation, at-one-ment is with the world, not Christ.

There aren't enough words to thank Chris Jackson for his analyses. The clarity of his thought helps many to remain steadfast in the truth of Christ.

It seems to me that this pope has gone too far in numerous secular directions while avoiding the central issue of Catholicism: Salvation through Christ. Just recently, Pope Leo has taken a more direct and aggressive stance against the Trump administration’s legal immigration policies, urging U.S. bishops to publicly advocate for migrants and refugees. This direction alone appears to align Prevost with Antifa and other Marxist, extremist organizations. The danger here is that he may move the Church towards a position that is seen as an enemy of the state. With about 1/3 of Catholics trending to the left, this is a seriously unwise move. Catholicism is not a cult, but the pope's recent actions suggest that the Novus Ordo church is a cult.

All of this smacks of Freemasonry. Everything you mention in this article directly descends from Masonic teachings. This is exactly what the overwhelming number of traitorous bishops voted for at Vatican II, and what “Pope” Paul the Pathetic confirmed. In other words, this is all Modernism on steroids.

Thanks for your answer.

I know this function and use it.

It's not for me that I said this but for the millions of Catholic faithful who are not on Substack.

Substack is a small und unknow corner of the web. It is an island and mostly an island of English speakers.

"Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of antichrist." (Our Lady of La Salette.) We are witnesses to this now. Continue to have faith, my brothers and sisters. God is not mocked. Our Lady has been holding back the arm of her Son for the sake of those who still live the true faith; but the numbers of true believers is growing smaller and his arm is getting too heavy to hold. It's now up to Him in His way and time to deal with this situation because only He can. May God have mercy on us all.

Leo is a product of Vatican II and exposure to liberation theology, manifest throughout Dilexi Te with its absurd definition of poverty based on egalitarianism. It is the anti-Catholicity inherent in Judaism, Protestantism, Freemasonry, Marxism, and Islam, with their disturbed understanding of man and their lack of salvific grace, that enables fallen man to satiate his disturbed appetites for the seven deadly sins and create the very problems he decries. Yet he relies on pan religious indifferentism, with his paean to humanistic dignity, to resolve the very problems it creates with no call to conversion to the only religion capable of truly addressing these concerns or to the Catholic confessional state. Is this ignorance, insanity, or diabolism?

Thank you for this profound observation, especially your astute comment that "This is not a Church seeking to save sinners; it’s a church seeking to save feelings." We saw that everywhere in the bogus ordo protestant meetings called the synodal church. Young boys were intentionally using volley balls to knock ceiling tiles out of the gym roof. When I pointed it out to the self anointed "pastoral associate" marxist who actually ran the church as the priest was AWOL, she refused to even discuss it with the boys or their parents writing it off as we need to make them "feel welcome". Not one word to teach them that destruction of private property was wrong. Just more gibberish about feelings and welcoming.

I thank God in my daily prayers that we no longer have to suffer by being associated with any novus ordo abomination, though I pray for the souls of those the novus ordo abomination is leading to hell.

Re 'Bergogleo'

I have read that the phrase 'the Ber months' has been coined ?fairly recently for the four winter months ending in ..ber. Could this be the winter of Gog and Leo - and could these be the two worm-ridden Popes prophecy speaks of? Just musing to myself, really, but I do find that the name Bergoglio can suggest all sorts of interesting ideas.

Chris, I appreciate your line of reasoning, but as a reader, it would be better if you edited the AI text more rigorously to remove the annoying sentence cadences and patterns native to robotic linguistic structures.
