Does Jorge Mario Bergoglio have long to live?
Perhaps he does.
However, he is acting with such alacrity recently as to give an indication that he knows his end is near as to appoint Victor Manuel Fernandez as the prefect of the counterfeit church of conciliarism’s misnamed Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith so soon after the “apostolic visitation” meted out to “Bishop” Joseph Strickland represents an acceleration of Jorge’s revolution against the Faith. Bud Collyer, call your office. (Those who are not old enough to remember Beat the Clock or the original version of To Tell the Truth will not understand the reference to the late Bud Collyer. However, I include these references from time to time solely because they amuse me as I am about to fall asleep at the computer.)
I will excerpt part of this commentary here to highlight Mario Cardinal Mattei’s praise of the papacy and of Pope Pius IX soon after the overthrow of the Papal States in 1870:
“You are in our regard the master of sound doctrine. You are the centre of unity. You are the foundation of the church itself, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail. When you speak, we hear Peter. When you decree, we obey Jesus Christ. We admire you in the midst of so many trials and tempests, with a serene brow and unshaken mind, invincible fulfilling your sacred ministry.”
“You are in our regard the master of sound doctrine.”
Can anyone who is intellectually honest (seen any of that lately?) say this about Angelo Roncalli, Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini, Albino Luciani, Karol Josef Wojtyla, Joseph Alois Ratzinger, or Jorge Mario Bergoglio?
“When you speak, we hear Peter.”
Do those in the “resist while recognize” movement hear Peter when Jorge Mario Bergoglio speaks?
Did many of them hear Peter when Karol Josef Wojtyla or Giovanni Montini spoke?
“When you decree, we obey Jesus Christ.”
Yet, of course, “Bishop” Athanasius Schneider, not to be confused with Athanasius of Alexandria, has counseled recently that Catholics can ignore and disobey “Pope Francis’s” Traditionis Custodes, July 16, 2021 (see Jorge Mario Bergoglio Bares His Teeth to Do the Work of Baal for an analysis of that decree)
Mario Cardinal Mattei was not speaking simply about Pope Pius IX. He was speaking about the very nature of the papacy itself.
Today’s neo-Gallicanists do not believe that the papacy is the center of unity, nor do they believe that they must obey when the pope speaks, which means, according to Cardinal Mario Mattei’s own words, they can disobey Christ’s Vicar on earth with absolute moral impunity.
Not so.
