Sede-ish fever?: Is Pope Francis, formerly Jorge Cardinal Bergoglio the Anti-Christ?






About an hour ago, I saw a post by Father Paul Kramer, of Consecrate Russia Now fame on his Facebook page. I can't find it now after I did a bit of poking around. He commented on how the word "Bergoglio" in the Basque language translates to variations of "Antichrist" in Spanish and Tagalog, and almost every language that Google Translate offers. When I checked this out myself, my closet sedevacantist tendencies started to consume me.

I started to get suspicious, however, when it would not translate small case "bergoglio" in the same way. Furthermore, it would not translate "Antichristus" back to "Bergoglio" in the Basque. Could this be a gag by Google? Could this be bait for the sedevacantists who number in the tens of twenties all across the... country? Why would Google even care?

In any case. It doesn't hurt to say. Come back home to Mother Church (and go to confession), outside of which there is no salvation... (except for everywhere else, according to the modern Catholic Church. Sigh).

    man don't run away like a mere coward because, a pope since to be something that menace to become the awaited dream of the enemies of our Lord. The fight is from inside of the Church, so as Catholic, you defend your faith however, if you become alien to the Church then why fight for the Church if you are not Catholic any more? To be a Catholic is a gift from God, and to abandon the Church is a trick from the Devil to put your soul in peril of damnation. God bless.

ENVY

Image
ENVY is more than jealousy. It's me wanting what you have, especially fueled by the thought that you don't deserve what you have. It is a deadly sin when you want to cause harm towards others who have what you want.  This is what makes social media so problematic for many of us, especially those whose primary vice is Envy. We see the best of people's lives on social media. We hardly see the struggles behind the good posts. Life is filled with ups and downs. For all of us. Matthew 5:45 English Standard Version 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. I'm here at Calvinist Coffee aka Landmark coffee roasters in Redlands. Christian owned, so support them. Unless you're reprobate, go to Coffee Bean. No time for your depraved dollars ;-) (jk, of course)

WHY RECOGNIZE AND RESIST MAKES LESS SENSE THAN SEDEVACANTISM AND FRANCISVACANTISM

WHY RECOGNIZE AND RESIST MAKES LESS SENSE THAN SEDEVACANTISM AND FRANCISVACANTISM I came across this short video. I don't know who this guy is but "Novus Ordo Watch" has been around for a very long time. When I was studying the various Trad groups in the mid 2000s, I consumed much of their materials to get the Sedevacantist view, or at least their version of it. After distancing myself from the Trad community several years ago I thought myself to be somewhat in the R&R camp still because I had a lot of distaste for the Francis pontificate. In many ways, still do, to be quite honest. It should be obvious. But as I've had my private chats with Sedevacantist apologist Gerry Matatics and my two interviews with him, it became clear to me I'm really more in line with a Sedevacantist mentality that believes Francis is the true pope. That may sound like a strange way to describe myself. But bear with me, and it sounds like Gerry would back me on this (not ...

BORED AT MASS

BORED AT MASS Video:  Alteration by Fr. Mike Schmitz I remember watching this video when it first came out around 7 years ago. I found it to be a little overdramatic at the time. Today, at the adult confirmation class that I attend and help with a bit of commentary for the parish director, this video was part of the lesson on the Mass. I thought it was a helpful conversation at the tables during the lesson. We started off talking about what the priest was and his role in the liturgy. I think this video was intended for teen confirmation but it seems also appropriate for adult confirmation since many of these folks haven't really been engaged in the Catholic faith for some time and it is good to present the basics. Having drifted a little bit further away from my former traditionalism since 7 years ago, I can appreciate a video like this. But here's what I find a bit inconsistent here.  I've gone to so many different parishes in my diocese and surrounding diocese...
