HEY Francis: guess what?

 Virtue on line, a conservative Anglican blog, has two articles about the destruction of the UK Anglican church, and how God is using the most unlikely folk to stop it.

One: On the idea that religion is what you feel, what not is true.

The charismatic Father talks about how there needs to be an app that allows young people to pull a little of this from feminist theology, a little of that from queer theology, and so forth, and make them "feel that they have an authentic spirituality that connects them to the divine." Notice what makes it "authentic" is not whether or not it's true, but about whether it feels right to them. The app will provide answers when the seeker asks, "This is what I'm feeling, where does God fit into all this?" This is Moralistic Therapeutic Deism, in a line.

sounds like what the Pope is doing with his synodality stuff.

And then we have this: Who is intervening so that believing Christians can find a home in the Anglican church. The Bishops of Africa are sending a bishop to England to open an Anglican church diocese there.

The problem is that the heretics will own the church buildings and institutions. 

and for Catholics, if Francis gets his way, this means the schools and hospitals etc will be under the heretical bishops not those who hold to Christian beliefs.

The Aliens are coming

 Paranoia time.

I am not taking this seriously but in the Catholic viewpoint, ETs could be fallen angels or sentient beings that either rejected God or accepted him or might be like us, fallen (and redeemed or not redeemed).

I am posting this mainly because some people believe this stuff. and I am documenting it.  


conspiracy theories: are aliens demonic?

Actually since both angels and demons are in modern days seen as aliens, maybe. And of course, if there are sentient beings out there, some may be like Adam before the fall, or perfectly possessed, or like us, tainted but fighting for good.

so we see oodles of discussions like this in fringe groups on the radio.

Oct 19, 2022 COAST TO COAST AM - 2022. Psychic medium Vincent Genna joined Connie Willis https://www.conniewillis.com/ to discuss the latest messages he received from the "Alien Council" that he's in contact with—and their purpose in coming here. Genna said that many years ago, after becoming a psychic medium, he heard a voice one day say "We want to talk with you." As he spoke with this entity, it told him that it belonged to an intergalactic council of spirited beings. The entity went on to tell him that the council of aliens was about to make itself known to the people of Earth, and they needed Genna to speak for them by explaining who they were and why they were here. He was chosen for this task, he explained, because the aliens knew that his intentions were pure...

The science fiction of CSLewis and Madeline L'Engle have stories where angels and sentient beings from other planets are either unfallen, fallen and perfectly possessed, or like us, fallen but given the opportunity to reform.

But here is the question about the modern fad of UFO ology that has infiltrated the New Age movement: Not just the one posted below but many other similar ideas saying we need ot open our minds to these beings, either by meditation or by drugs.

For example, this bimbo actually was at the Democratic convention many years ago, but more troubling, she addressed the US conference of politically correct nuns to instruct them in her religion of conscious evolution.

.... And so what is the Pope preaching? The theology of the green religion,

------------------

hmmm...this C2C says maybe aliens are not good, and maybe remote viewing and evolving consciousness might not be as good as the new agers tout.

.....so maybe they will get us out of their way as in hitch hiers guide

watermelon pope

Maureen Malarchy has an essay about how liberation theologian Boff is the puppet master of Francis.

LINK

In Boff’s telling, the “so-called Holy Office” has been an authoritarian failure mired in temporal power, feudal trappings, and doctrinal fuss-budgeting. But now Pope Francis is here to fix all that. You, Reader, might object that Bergoglio himself exhibits a lust for power politics. You might also think that doctrine matters. But loosen up: “Divine Providence has sent us Pope Francis.” Apotheosis of Francis of Assisi, Francis I is a cheerful “lover of Mother Earth.” He will prove himself “a shining humanitarian and ecological lighthouse for the whole world, beyond all current religions and ideologies.” In sum, Boff’s Francis-in-Rome is a quasi-cosmic figure who is “like a very fine string of the universe in which the most subtle musical note is being played.” • • • • • One chapter heading asks “Can We Save the Catholic Church?” In scholarly terms, it is a down-market riff on Hans Küng’s earlier work: Reforming the Church Today: Keeping Hope Alive (1990) and motifs threading through The Catholic Church: A Short History (2001). Küng remained a priest in good standing despite having been censured in 1970 for Infallible: An Inquiry. Unlike Boff and others of the era (i.e. the eminent British theologian Charles Davis who left the Church as well.), Küng never relinquished his priesthood. As a theologian, he wrangled with the Church; as a man, he loved it. That is no small thing. His writing was contentious but—again, unlike Boff—neither sour nor hostile. You can disagree with an intelligence. Nonsense, however, is not subject to rational argumentation. • • • • ... In total, Boff’s 2013 effusion is an unserious book. It is serious, certainly, in its consequences but not in the character of its assertions or the qualities of mind that produced them. A throw-away reference to “neo-liberal economy” and unemployment—to take one example—is not an analysis. It is jargon. A demagogic tool, jargon triggers a reflexive response that short circuits understanding. Die Stimmung ist alles. • • • • •

Francis of Rome concludes with a seven-page postscript in which Boff channels the medieval “patron of ecology.” The saint himself addresses today’s young through the medium of a scare-mongering Leftist ideologue :

Dear Young People, my sisters and brothers. . . . Like you, I was young once. . . . I beg you to love and take care of our sister Mother Earth. She is ill and feverish. For a long time we have been exploiting her. . . . If we do not want to see great disasters that will affect all living things, we must urgently form a global alliance to take care of the earth and one another. .

In an act of celestial ventriloquy, the saint urges inexperienced young to restore “the Laws of the Heart”:

We need to change our minds in order to see reality with new eyes. Scholars tell us today that the earth is alive, not something dead and purposeless, a kind of store of limitless resource that we can use at will. . . . Fossil fuels like coal and oil, the fertility of soil and seeds are limited. . . . We human beings are part of the earth that feels, thinks, lives, and worships. We are Earth . . . .

Il Poverello, transmitting through Boff, insists we stop dominating the earth: “We have reached its limits. And because we go on pushing at them, the earth responds with hurricanes, floods, droughts, earthquakes, and tsunamis. We must change if we want to survive.”

In total, Francis of Rome promotes an unexamined idealism that flatters impulsive young people into thinking of themselves as the vanguard of a new world, founders of a new age. It excites an unthinking activism—illiterate in science and economics and empty of mastery over its own implications. Although put to different purposes, Boff’s anti-intellectual utopian rhetoric follows patterns set by the Hitlerjugend.

One of the primary founders of liberation theology, Boff circulates globalist Green propaganda through a charismatic mouthpiece on the Chair of Peter.

and one of the unwritten stories is how capitalism pretty well had eliminated poverty from much of the world over the last 80 years. LINK muc of it in China.

the problem of course is that the pandemic caused a shut down of the economy world wide, and that the weakness of Biden and the end of the US as world policeman encouraged Russia to start being aggressive (and in the near future, China will start grabbing Taiwan, Siberia and Luzon while decimating the seas of fish and undermining local economies with their grab of resources by the debt trap, and dumping cheap imports to ruin local industries).

Sigh. 

I am almost ready to believe AnnBarnhardt's theory that Francis is not pope and that the resignation was coerced and the election was rigged by the so called reformers.

Sigh.
