Sure looks that way. Bergoglio and his henchmen, in openly and officially attacking the Sixth Commandment, are in schism with all previous popes.
Their attack on the Sixth Commandment is an attack upon God Himself.

Archbishop Bruno Forte, Pope Bergoglio’s handpicked Special Secretary for both sessions of the Phony Synod, is a supremely arrogant man. For only supreme arrogance could explain his reported insertion into the midterm report of Phony Synod 2014 (with Francis’s full approval) those infamous statements about “valuing” the “homosexual orientation” and recognizing that “homosexual unions” can provide “precious support in the life of the partners” as they habitually engage in sodomy.
And only supreme arrogance could explain Bruno’s matter-of-fact revelation of what we have long known anyway: that the entire “synodal process” was stage-managed by Francis to advance his pet project to its predetermined completion: a post-synodal “apostolic exhortation” that permits the admission of the divorced and “remarried” to Holy Communion, just as they were admitted during Francis’s tenure as Archbishop of Buenos Aires.
In his supreme arrogance, Forte thought nothing of informing the attendees at a press conference on Amoris Laetitia on May 3 that during the Synod Francis made a joke (“una battuta”) about how “If we speak explicitly about communion for the divorced and remarried, you do not know what a terrible mess we will make.” So, Francis told Bruno, “we don’t speak of it plainly; do it in a way that the premises are there, then I will draw out the conclusions.”
To which Bruno added: “Typical of a Jesuit.” The press account notes that by this Bruno meant that Francis the Jesuit had exhibited a “wisdom that permitted the maturation necessary to reach Amoris Laetitia.” That comment dovetails perfectly with Francis’s own statement—or, more aptly, his warning—at the end of Phony Synod 2014: “now we still have one year to mature, with true spiritual discernment, the proposed ideas and to find concrete solutions to so many difficulties and innumerable challenges that families must confront.”
Again, Forte is not telling us anything that wasn’t already perfectly obvious: that the Phony Synod was merely the delivery vehicle for what Francis had already decided to do. What is remarkable about Bruno’s admission, however, is his utter lack of concern about revealing explicitly to the world that the “synodal journey” was an exercise in cunning and deception designed to hide from the faithful and the few opponents in the hierarchy what Francis had in mind from the very beginning of his pontificate, when he heaped praise on Cardinal Kasper’s “theology of mercy” from the balcony of Saint Peter’s during his first Angelus address.
In other words, Bruno simply does not care if the world knows that Francis has been engaging in a massive ecclesiastical con job, culminating in a document that attacks the very foundations of the moral order by reducing the natural law to a “general rule” and the indissolubility of marriage to an “ideal.”
From which it follows that Francis does not care either, for of course there will be no denial of Forte’s revelation, just as there was no denial of the revelation by that woman from Argentina whom Francis gave telephonic permission to receive Holy Communion even though she was living in adultery with a divorced man. For Francis merely told the woman to do precisely what he had already planned to allow throughout the universal Church—but only in “certain cases” (Novus Ordo code for every case in short order).
Bruno’s disclosure is significant for another reason: It confirms the utter futility of petitioning Francis for an “authentic interpretation” of Amoris Laetitia that would reaffirm the Church’s constant teaching on the impossibility of admitting public adulterers to the sacraments. Why would Francis “interpret” his own document in a manner exactly contrary to the aim of all his scheming and plotting with the likes of Forte? In the Bergoglian dictatorship of mercy there is no appeal to justice.
I’m guilty. The genetic fallacy. I don’t read articles from the Remnant.
And I don't read articles from Politico. But I don't feel compelled to comment on Politico threads that I didn't read the article.
There are plenty of unrepentant lavender lackey losers scattered among congregations of all stripes so it’s at least a believable claim.
It’s almost like tares are coming to maturity ... now, where did that comparison come from? /wink
If true of any leader (that isn’t planning to vacate immediately as they shoul if they were honorable) it would be really bad: time to run screaming out of the building bad.
With their madcap, makeshift, miniscule morality.
Also, about the rest of the article, it didn’t mention again or build on the comment about homosexuals ... just saying.
Rather it dealt with divorce and remarriage, presumably willy nilly American / Western Europe style.
A fwiw reminder from Our Lady of Akita, Akita-Shi, Japan 1973:
On October 13, the anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, 1973, Sr. Agnes heard the beautiful voice speaking from the statue once more:Could it be that what was once farfetched to all but the faithful is now our reality?"The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres, churches and altars will be sacked.She continued,The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the devil will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon would be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God.
The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will be no longer any pardon for them."
"As I told you, if people do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the Flood, such as one will never have seen before.Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead.
The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests."
Smeaton highlighted several grave concerns with the exhortation, including:
+the section about sex education, which speaks at length about sex education in schools, without reference to the rights of parents;
+references to public adultery which fail to point out the intrinsic evil of adultery;
+the suggestion that adulterous sexual acts may be justifiable; and,
+the false message that marriage is not indissoluble.
Just when the Cath/Prot backbiting dies down and I think I might once again enjoy browsing the Religion forum, I have to endure the maniacal machinations of a nutty nuncio.
He ranted about..."the closed hearts which frequently hide even behind the church's teachings and good intentions, in order to sit in the chair of Moses and judge, sometimes with superiority and superficiality, difficult cases and wounded families."
Then he moved on to his favorite topic; doctrine:
"The synod experience also made us better realize that the true defenders of doctrine are not those who uphold its letter, but its spirit; not ideas but people; not formulas but the free availability of God's love and forgiveness," he said.
Sure looks that way. Bergoglio and his henchmen, in openly and officially attacking the Sixth Commandment, are in schism with all previous popes.
Their attack on the Sixth Commandment is an attack upon God Himself.
For a Vicar of Christ to so blatantly defy the sanctity of Christian marriage is tantamount to blasphemy.
Sadly, resistance from the hierarchy (with the exception of Bishop Schneider) seems now to have all but evaporated.
Then he moved on to his favorite topic; doctrine:
Yes, and, thanks to Francis, my divorced/"remarried" brother is encouraged to continue living in objective mortal sin and to receive Communion, and my "gay" cousin is supported in his lifestyle. And Francis has driven my mother to sedevacantism.
As St. John fled the bath at Ephesus when "Cerinthus that enemy of truth" was within?
Now the enemy of truth has hijacked the Ark.
"And let the Lord thy God shew us the way by which we may walk, and the thing that we must do." Jeremiah 42:3
Sticks and stones may break my bones but listening to false teachers can really harm me!
Pope Che is a communist, put in place by a leftist cabal within the Vatican, the same leftist cabal that forced the real Pope out.
Why don’t people know this? It is common knowledge that is out there and available to anyone who seeks it. The head of this cabal actually gave an interview wherein he bragged about it.
Bishop Schneider hasn’t resisted anything. He is merely looking for a so-called “authentic interpretation” of AL as if there is any other interpretation than what is obvious.
Sedevacantists are Catholic.
So were the Jansenists. But they were still mistaken. Believe me, I can understand loathing much of what Pope Francis does---most of what he does, in fact--- but we can't jump off the ark and abandon the seat of the Papacy, no matter who occupies it. It's a sad day when you have to pray for the Pope's conversion, but Catholics must respect his office, if not the man. That is where sedevacantists make their error. He could be a terrible Pope, but until he dies or abdicates he's still the Pope. Ours is the sort of difficult era that produces the greatest villains and the most heroic saints.
