gaslighting believers

 

 

how dare you tell the truth.

I do wish we lived in a society where sweetness and light was all around us, but anyone with a lick of sense would recognize the gaslighting and lies in the latest shennanigans of the so called Synod, a meeting supposed to repreent everyone but just in case it does, includes extras who are known to agree with the predetrmined agenda. Am I being cynical? Yup. We saw this a coupld years ago in a meeting about the family, where it would include allowing divorced remarried to receive the sacraments although living in sin. Some bishops notieced the already prewritten report on the meeting included this, so they made it known and that part was removed: But someone snuck it in in a small footnote, and voila soon the Pope was telling bishops on the phone it was okay to give communion to those in second marriages that were not done by church and God's law.

Yup. The footnote trick of sleezy crooked lawyers, and no one said: Wait a second. Because loyalty to the Pope.

Ah, but is he pope when the election was irregular and manipulated (not a conpsiracy theory: according to both Cardial Daneels biography... yup the guy who told a boy not to report his uncles'sexula abuse, and by Cardinal McCarrick, in a talk... yup the one who preyed on seminarians for years but no one dared to point fingers because he was powerful). 

and of course unity and niceness is more important than calling out a liar. Mr Matt, call your office

similarly, when asked point blank by four important bishops to stop the blessing of gay couples, a ceremony that the press and the woke are insisting is the church's stealth way to approve of gay marriage, the Pope, after saying marriage is sacred, but also ignored common sense and reality when he said no this is charity and individuals could discern by themselves whether or not to do it.

Excuse me, I am a physician.

I often treat people whose behavior is literally killing themselves. I am charitable and try to help them, but I would not be a good physician if I said: OK go ahead and pig out on junk food to someone who is obese, or it's okay to have a double chocolate shake to a diabetic, or a few cigarettes are okay to someone with dOPD, or one or two drinks are okay or a couple joints on a weekend won't hurt you.

When it comes to drinking and drugs, often that suggestion abuot a few drinks to an ordinary person means a glass of wine at night, but to an alcoholic it means a dozen drinks

Ditto with sexual practices that endager one's health

One of the scandals of the M POx epidemic is that, even though the initial epidemic spread from a rave/party where anonymous sex with multiple partners was going on, the public health authorities didn't shut down later such mass parties. Instead they went and insisted they were stopping the spread because they put up a booth that encouraged people to be vaccinated ...

This occured at a time when people had to mask against covid and the economy was shut down for two years: an over reaction since after six months the high risk people had been vaccinated.

But of course even in covid, the lack of reality was the cause of nursing home deaths, because medicaid/medicare regulations said you needed to readmit still infectious people to nursing homes, and hey eveyone knows that the underpaid overworked staff of nursing homes could do proper isolation to stop the spread.  (/sarcasjm)

So excuse me if I think either the Pope is gaslighting us or manipulating the faithful over the gay blessing stuff.

I don't protect my patients by not telling them their behavior is endangering their lives, nor am I naive anough to think that this means only not hurting the feelings of  nice ladies living togehter who want to be married. 

Really?  Are you naive enough to think that? Sorry, I had to give the HIV lectures to our National Guard unit in the 1980s before we all got tested. No, not all gays are promiscuous, but doctors (and priests) know the problem is worse than that.

So the Pope pretends what he is doing is charity, but what he is actually doing is sending a message that wink wink it's okay, whereas in the past, it was; Don't do this you are endangering your health (STDs, MPox) or in this case endangering your soul

so what do pious Catholics do if their marriage is irregular (marriage after divorce or gay relationship, or in African converts, polygamous marriages)? well, traditionally they continued to go to mass, but not receive the sacraments.

Will this result in unhappiness? You becha. But the collapse of society from sexual anarchy is worse than unappy marriages. 

There is a warning about debasing currancy: Gresham's law: That bad currancy drives out good currancy.

And what is going on here is that a Pope who refuses to be Catholic and lets the wolves into the sheep fold will drive out good Catholics. Some will simply become "nones". and other will join other churches. And of course the NWO will be able to get all those Catholic hospitals, clinics, schools and universities to push their agenda.

Team Ted

 One of the arguments that Pope Francis election was a coup by a cabal to reform the church came from the biography of Cardinal Daneels (who was accused of covering up the abuse of a young man by his bishop uncle).

But now GetReligion discusses the same thing by a talk by the now defrocked bishop of Washington DC.

Here is the talk that he refers to that.

So often the kingmaker in American Catholic life, McCarrick describes a meeting with an “influential Italian gentleman” at the North American College in Rome. This took place as cardinals were preparing for the conclave.

What favor is the Italian seeking from McCarrick? I take this (a) as a reference to the kingmaker debts owed to Uncle Ted by strategic American Catholic princes wearing red hats. However, (b) McCarrick also was a powerful and trusted voice among elite-zip-code journalists who became known, over the years, as “Team Ted.” What does, “Talk him up” mean, in terms of horse-race politics? That’s pretty obvious, methinks.

This transcript at Roma Locuta Est is long, but loaded with hints and information:

and fast forward to minute 18 about the conspiracy to elect Francis.

the rest of the GR article is about all those liberal cardinals, often from third world countries, who are now going to elect the next pope. 

Older cardinals, who might still be catholic, were kicked out by changing the rules. Ah, but will these third world cardinals tout the ecology over theology and ignore sex sins and let women be priests rules of the reformers, or will they still insist Jesus is Lord, men and women are different, and sexual sin is wrong? These last policies have weakened the family in western countries, where the slack is picked up by the gov'ts who tout socialism as the cure. But poor countries require the family as the first line to care for each other. So will these third world cardinals obey the pope?

reminds me of this prophecy.
