French Bishops Helpless Against the Onslaught of Cultural Marxism and Its Islamic Allies in Their Own Schools
A reader sent this article from Riposte-Catholique by Guy Rouvrais about the Islamization of Catholic Schools in France.
The bishops of France, meeting in Lourdes the other week, examined the presence of Islam in France. "This question of Islam no longer involves only a few persons engaged in the dialogue, but targets all communities," explained a spokesman. Until recently, Islam was only a topic of dialogue between Catholic specialists and compliant Muslim interlocutors, more intellectual than mystical. This was all in strict accordance with Vatican II's notion of dialogue, that was expressed in these glowing terms: "…Muslims, who adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth, who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God."
But today, this irenic vision in no longer current. Our whole society is concerned about the rise of Islam, and it is no longer a matter of dialogue but one of self-defense. Against Islamist terrorists, of course, but also, doctrinally, against the others who, though called "moderate", never stop turning Christians into Muslims. The former being unable to respond to the objections of the latter. Such is the observation of bishop Dubost: "When the Muslims speak to their Christian buddies about their "three gods", referring to the Trinity, many don't know how to respond… What do we propose to the faithful to help them to live and explain the Incarnation, the Resurrection, the Trinity?" We must first admit the failure of the catechism when the teaching of the Catholic doctrine is reduced to the barest minimum because of humanitarian considerations, which is not the case in the Koranic schools.

New York Archdiocese Commits Sin of Calumny Against Journalist
Edit: they're so incredibly dirty and evil, but they are believed to be good by millions of more or less decent people.
We've always thought highly of Voris' work, even if he does borrow liberally from us.
TRANSCRIPT
If you have children around, you may want to view this first before them.
As you probably know, the apostolate has been somewhat silent this week publicly. That’s because a situation has developed that I must fill you in on. It involves the sins of my past life all committed prior to my reversion to the Catholic faith. We have on very good authority from various sources that the New York archdiocese is collecting and preparing to quietly filter out details of my past life with the aim of publicly discrediting me, this apostolate and the work here.
I have never made a secret that my life prior to my reversion was extremely sinful. I have said many times — in public — that I was in a state of mortal sin, and had I died, I would have been damned. I also revealed these sins were of a sexual nature and that they occurred over a prolonged period of time. I did not reveal the specific nature or details of the sins, because when I returned home to the Church, I did not think that a full public confession of details was necessary in order to start proclaiming the great mercy of God.
Perhaps that was a wrong assessment. I don't seriously know. Perhaps along these years I should have been revealing of greater detail. That, I now think so, but more on that in a moment.

Pope Francis and the Appointment of Bishops: "He Looks For the Most Progressive Candidates"
Pope Francis and Cardinal Ouellet shortly before the Conclave of 2013 on St. Peter's Square |
Pope Francis "throws Ouellet's recommendations in the trash"
"It is worrying because it is the task of Cardinal Ouellet in Rome to propose in the Pope's name, but he ignores them and decides on all other candidates," said Quebec Religion specialist Alain Pronkin.
Pope Francis looking for "the most progressive candidate"
"A concrete example: The Pope believes in the fact that the divorced and remarried can receive Communion, while Cardinal Ouellet, however, expressed his rejection of this," said Alain Pronkin.
Recommendation by a progressive confidant enough to be Bishop
"The pope has said he wants to see on every question, and so it happened, so he got what he wanted, and now he has to fix it. [...] This raises the question of why he does not clarify these things himself. Why is it necessary that apologists have the burden to find the best interpretation? He has not realized the consequences of some of his statements, or even his actions? Does he not realize the impact? "
Appointments: Here the "revolution" Francis performs most effectively

Pope Francis and the Marginalization of the CDF
There is an Ocean Between them Both |
Schönborn instead of Müller
Diametrically opposite positions
"It is, for instance, true that mercy justice and the truth does not exclude each other, but above all we need to explain that charity is the fullness of justice and the most brilliant expression of God's truth.Thus, one should always bear in mind that all theological terms are unreasonable, that ultimately call into question God's omnipotence itself and especially his mercy.''
"Because the whole sacramental order is a work of divine mercy, and can not be reversed with reference to the same. Through the factually inaccurate emphasis on charity, there is also the risk of trivializing the image of God, that God can do nothing else than to forgive. For the mystery of God, besides His charity, is included his holiness and justice. If one omits these attributes of God and sin is not serious, then his mercy can not be ultimately conveyed to His people. Jesus met the adulteress with great compassion, he also said, however: ' Go and sin henceforth no more ' (John 8:11). The mercy of God is no dispensation from the Commandments of God and the teachings of the Church. Rather, it needs the power of grace to meet them, and rise again after the fall and to a life of perfection in the image of the heavenly Father."
Corrections of the CDF were disregarded
Schönborn "is a great theologian" - and Kasper "does theology on its knees"
Where does the pontificate of Francis run now?
"We Catholics have no reason to celebrate October 31, 1517."

Refugee Crisis as Swan Song --- Pope Francis Begs Forgiveness of Refugees in New Video Message
Pope Francis and the undistinguished questions of refugees |
(Rome) Pope Francis asks the refugees in a video message "for pardon" that "we" had "too often" not included them.
Dearest refugees, dear volunteers and full-time employees and friends of the Centre Astalli.This year, the charity of Centro Astalli has been committed to the refugees in Italy for 35 years. 1It's an activity that was mainly achieved as one nation, and that is beautiful and true.I was a stranger, and you welcomed me. I was a stranger.Each of you refugees who came knocking on our doors, was met by the face of God, the flesh of Christ.Your experience of suffering and hope reminds us that we are all strangers and pilgrims on this earth, taken in by someone generous and without merit.Those of you who fled from their own country because of oppression, of war, from pollution and desertification, the nature of injustice or unfair distribution of the planet's resources, is a brother, with whom to share bread, house and life.Too often we have not adopted you. Forgive us the walling off and the indifference of our societies, who fear that change of life and mentality that requires your presence.Treated like a piece of a problem, a cost: you are, on the other hand, a gift. You are the witness of how our gracious and merciful God can transform evil and injustice, under which you are suffering, to a good for all. Each of you can be a bridge to bring the distant peoples together. This makes an encounter between different cultures and religions possible, a way to rediscover our common humanity.And you made me welcome. I was a stranger and you welcomed me.Yes, the center Astalli is a concrete and daily example of the prophetic vision of Father Pedro Arrupe. 2 [Ugh]It was his swan song in a refugee center in Asia. 3Thank you all, men and women religious and lay people, volunteers and paid staff. I encourage you to keep going. 35 years of age is only the beginning of a path which is increasingly necessary, the only way for a reconciled coexistence.Always be witnesses of the beauty, the beauty of the encounter. Help our society to hear the voice of the refugees, Go your way bravely beside them. Accompany them and let yourself be guided by them. The refugees know the paths that lead to peace because they know the acrid smell of war.

- The Centro Astalli of Rome is part of the Jesuit Refugee Service founded in 1980. [ ]
- The Basque Pedro Arrupe (1907-1991) 1965 was elected the 28th Superior General of the Jesuits. Because of his progressive stance, Pope John Paul II. personally attacked him in the interests of the Order and disempowered Arrupe, who then suffered a stroke. John Paul II then appointed a papal delegate, later Cardinal Paolo Dezza SJ. [ ]
- The word "swan song" of Pedro Arrupe was used Pope Francis already on 14 November 2015 in a speech to members of the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS). The idea for the foundation of JRS came to Father Arrupe while visiting a refugee center in Southeast Asia. On his return to Rome he suffered a stroke. This was described as Arrupe's "swan song" by Pope Francis in 2015, which he described as the "icon", which he apparently meant as a kind of spiritual testament. [ ]
