A Vatican That Can't Be Trusted

Information, disinformation, truths, half-truths and lies all seem to be jumbled up in the communication strategy of the Holy See. The history of the Church is being written through interviews, improvised discourses, articles on semi-official blogs and media-rumours, leaving the field wide open to all interpretations possible and giving rise to the suspicion that the confusion is deliberate.

Two recent examples.

The first regards the expulsion of the President of the IOR (the Vatican Bank), Ettore Gotti Tedeschi in 2012. In Benedict XVI’s latest book “Last Conversations” with Peter Seewald, the “Pope Emeritus” takes responsibility himself for Gotti Tedeschi’s dismissal, due to what he says was the need to “renew the management” of the Vatican Bank. Yet Monsignor Georg Gänswein, Pope Benedict’s secretary, at one time stated that Benedict XVI knew nothing of this dismissal and “was surprised, very surprised at the motion of no confidence in the professor.” Andrea Tornielli, on October 22nd 2013, refers to it in an article entitled: Benedict XVI was very surprised at the expulsion of Gotti Tedeschi. On September 9th 2016, the same Vatican reporter, without indicating any contradiction, presents the new version, with the title: Ratzinger: it was my idea to change the management of the IOR in 2012. What’s the truth then? Most certainly someone is lying and there confusion remains.

The end game is open communion for all in a Catholic Church, for the shacked up, for homosexuals that are shacked up, for all denominations. The greatest thing that could happen for the Catholic Church is for Francis to have a religious conversion that would turn him into a practicing Catholic. And if not he needs to leave the faith before he causes anymore harm.

It is the same with all progressive entities. This pope is a progressive alpha omega. Christianity is his disguise.

I pray every day for his conversion, or his replacement.

God can figure out which one.

I’m meeting with my pastor about this at 9:30 this morning. Please pray for me (and him).

Ping.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Had an honest, unreserved and substantial meeting with my pastor. We have, thank God, a good level of mutual respect and trust. He specifically blessed me to take my concerns to the Bishop and to the Director of Christian Formation for the Diocese of Knoxville (as head of the RCIA program she would be more or less my boss.)

If anything positive comes of it, I will share with Catholic FReepers.
