the side events staged by NGO’s at the UN, the Pope’s ecumenical side-event at the Synod might be where the real work of demolishing the Catholic Church is taking place.</h4> <p class="has-medium-font-size">On October 11, the Pope led an ecumenical prayer meeting at a very special non-church venue: the Protomartyrs Square, an area right near St. Peter’s Basilica where the first pope is thought to have died. Francis excelled himself, managing to pack an unprecedented variety of blasphemies into one evening: continuing to promote the Masonic doctrines of religious indifferentism and naturalism, topped off by an egregious insult to every Catholic who shed his blood for the Faith.</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The event marked the anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council which the organisers of Francis’ vigil hailed as the beginning of a ‘new ecumenical era.’ </p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">For the theme of his reflection, Pope Bergoglio chose the phrase from John’s Gospel: “The glory that you have given me I have given them” (Jn 17:22). This expresses his belief that the martyrdom of early Christians like St. Peter, the shedding of their blood in that very place, had some mystical ecumenical significance.</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The Pope continued by saying that the martyrs are ‘accompanying the Church on its ecumenical journey’ – another error with no basis in reality or in Catholic tradition. Unsurprisingly, Pope Francis quoted the arch-ecumenist, John XXIII, linking the pursuit of ecumenism to the unbelievably boring topic of synodality, saying “The journey of synodality… is and must be ecumenical”.</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">That bit <strong>does</strong> make sense. Since faithful Catholics are not fooled by either synodality or ecumenism, Francis has to go outside the Church to gain any traction. But that poses no problem when one has no belief in the primacy of Catholicism. When one can give away the bones of St. Peter or sign heretical documents with anti-Christians, then nothing is off the table. </p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">It seems lost on the Pope that the martyrs <strong>died</strong> rather than compromise their faith to even one degree, let alone completely handing it to non-believers on a platter as he has chosen to do.</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The Pope continued to spout his own ‘magisterium of Francis’: “Unity is a grace. We do not know beforehand what the outcome of the Synod will be, just as we cannot predict how the unity we are called to will fully manifest.”</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="7724" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/10/14/ecumenism-the-utopian-dream/ecumenism/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ecumenism.png" data-orig-size="1080,1080" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Ecumenism" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ecumenism.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ecumenism.png?w=760" width="1024" height="1024" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ecumenism.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-7724" style="width:602px;height:auto" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ecumenism.png?w=1024 1024w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ecumenism.png?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ecumenism.png?w=300 300w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ecumenism.png?w=768 768w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/ecumenism.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Artist’s impression of how Bergoglio’s ‘unity’ will manifest</figcaption></figure></div> <p class="has-medium-font-size">In another direct contradiction of Church teaching, Pope Francis claims that a so-called ‘ecumenism of blood’ is a witness of Christian unity to the world. ‘Ecumenism of blood’ is another of Francis’ imaginary theological principles. There really is no such thing. Christians do not achieve unity through martyrdom and this certainly was not the meaning behind Jesus’ discourse at the Last Supper. At least, if it was, then Gnostic Francis is the first Catholic in history to find this hidden interpretation.</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Scripture and tradition clearly state that there is<strong> no salvation outside the Church</strong>. There is no unity when some Christians are outside the Church and others are inside the Church. Further, despite Francis’ many claims to the contrary, heretics can not be considered martyrs. [See note below this article for further explanation.]</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">St. Peter made this abundantly clear in 1 Corinthians 13:3, when he wrote, “… if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.” Charity, of course, means to love God with all one’s mind and heart – including believing everything which has been taught by His Church. Anyone Christian outside of the Catholic Church is by definition, lacking in charity.</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The attempted martyrdom by non-Catholics was the precise context of that famous doctrine, <em>extra ecclesiam nulla salus</em>, as first recorded by St. <a href="https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/050672.htm">Cyprian</a> of Carthage:</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>But if not even the baptism of a public confession and blood can profit a heretic to salvation, because there is no salvation out of the Church, how much less shall it be of advantage to him, if in a hiding-place and a cave of robbers, stained with the contagion of adulterous water, he has not only not put off his old sins, but rather heaped up still newer and greater ones! </em></p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Pius XII reiterated the importance of membership in the Catholic Church in his Encyclical,  <a href="http://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius12/p12mysti.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Mystici Corporis Christi</em></a>,</p> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em>“Actually only those are to be included as members of the Church who have been baptized and profess the true faith, and who have not been so unfortunate as to separate themselves from the unity of the Body, or been excluded by legitimate authority for grave faults committed.”</em></p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">And these are only a few examples of the constant teaching of the Church prior to Vatican II. Francis’ ecumenical side-event reminds us of his true priority: the deconstruction of Catholicism. </p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">While chancery bureaucrats enjoy their Roman holiday at the Synod, deluding themselves that anything they do will make a scrap of difference to the Pope, Francis puts on his Masonic-coloured lens: promoting religious indifferentism instead of preaching baptism to all nations and promoting the heresy of naturalism by pursuing his Utopian dream of ecumenism.</p> <p></p> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[NOTE ON NON-CATHOLIC MARTYRS: For a nuanced approach to this topic, consider <a href="https://www.tfp.org/can-non-catholics-be-martyrs-and-doctors-of-the-church-pope-francis-thinks-so/">this</a>: <em>They may have been true martyrs, but only before God (</em>coram Deo<em>), not before the Church (</em>coram Ecclesia<em>). They would be martyrs </em>coram Deo<em>, provided they were habitually willing to believe whatever the Church proposed if they had the means to know it, and it is not their fault. They would not be martyrs </em>coram Ecclesia<em> because only God knows the internal dispositions of a person’s soul at the hour of death. Now the Church can only make a pronouncement about external actions that can be known by one’s senses. Thus, she cannot publicly consider martyrdom something that only God can know, namely, that a person in the state of invincible ignorance decided in his heart, even if only as a desire, to belong to the Catholic Church and who died united to her.</em>]</p> <p></p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="cat-links">Categories <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/category/ecumenism/" rel="category tag">Ecumenism</a></span><span class="sep">•</span><span class="tags-links">Tags <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/ecumenism/" rel="tag">Ecumenism</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/extra-ecclesiam-nulla-salus/" rel="tag">Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/faith/" rel="tag">Faith</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/featured/" rel="tag">Featured</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/freemasonry/" rel="tag">Freemasonry</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/interreligious-dialogue/" rel="tag">Interreligious Dialogue</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/modernism/" rel="tag">Modernism</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/religion/" rel="tag">religion</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-1164" class="post-1164 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-ecumenism tag-assisi tag-decalogue tag-ecumenism tag-modernism tag-pope-john-paul-ii tag-vatican-ii"> <div class="featured-image"> <span> <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2021/12/29/jpii-and-his-heretical-decalogue/"><img width="940" height="603" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg?w=940" class="attachment-toujours-featured size-toujours-featured wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg?w=940 940w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg?w=300 300w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg?w=768 768w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg?w=1024 1024w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg 1198w" sizes="(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px" data-attachment-id="1189" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2021/12/29/jpii-and-his-heretical-decalogue/assisi5/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg" data-orig-size="1198,768" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="assisi#5" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/assisi5.jpeg?w=760" /></a> </span> </div> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2021/12/29/jpii-and-his-heretical-decalogue/" rel="bookmark">JPII and his Christ-less Decalogue</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="posted-on"><span>Published on <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2021/12/29/jpii-and-his-heretical-decalogue/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2021-12-29T09:19:12+11:00">December 29, 2021</time><time class="updated" datetime="2024-07-16T21:31:32+10:00">July 16, 2024</time></a></span></span> <span class="byline">by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/author/anonymouscath/">anonymouscath</a></span></span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2021/12/29/jpii-and-his-heretical-decalogue/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>My <a href="http://ecclesiastical-freemasonry.com/2021/12/28/a-modern-mania-for-rewriting-the-commandments/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previous article</a> looked at a few secularists who have taken it upon themselves to create a new code of ethics for mankind, meant to replace the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai more than three thousand years ago. It also mentioned one of the current Pontiff’s flights into fantasy when he <a href="https://ecclesiastical-freemasonry.com/2021/10/20/pope-francis-rewrites-the-commandments/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rewrote the Commandments</a> for a group of adoring fans in Rome. </p> <p>The Ten Commandments, also known as the <em>Decalogue</em>, were of course, intended by God to be binding for all time. They are engraved into our hearts and are the guide by which we are meant to “know, love and serve God in this life” in order to one day be happy with Him in heaven.</p> <p>While “Decalogue” literally means “ten words” – without any reference to their divine origin – the dictionary meaning <em>always</em> specifies <em>The </em>Ten Commandments as recorded in the book of Exodus. No dictionary I consulted listed any meaning other than that used by Christians.

This is the idea that religions who reject the Trinity and specifically reject the Redeemer, Our Lord Jesus Christ, are on their “own path” to heaven. Is this a parallel path? </p> <p>Parallel universe is more like it.</p> <p>This week, in one of his many interviews, Australia’s Cardinal Pell gave his support to the same error. The interview was for the occasion of the Cardinal’s 80th birthday and touched on his time spent in prison for a crime he did not commit. <a href="https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2021-06/cardinal-pell-interview-prison-journal-80th-birthday.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NewsletterVN-EN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The interviewer</a> asked the Cardinal, </p> <p><em>“In your diary, you say that you often listened to the prayers of Muslim detainees from your cell. What did it feel like to pray while listening to those prayers?”</em></p> <p>To this, Cardinal Pell answered, </p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“For me there is only one God, we are monotheists. The theological conceptions of Christians and Muslims are obviously different, but we all pray in different ways to the same God. There is no God of Muslims, Christians or other religions, there is only one God.”</p><cite>Cardinal Pell to Fabio Colagrande, of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2021-06/cardinal-pell-interview-prison-journal-80th-birthday.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NewsletterVN-EN" target="_blank">Vatican News</a>, June 8, 2021</cite></blockquote> <p>Forget for a moment that the good Cardinal should not merely give his opinion, and that he has a responsibility to state clearly the doctrine of the Church he represents. That is bad enough. But the comments themselves show a teaching that was entirely new at the time of the Second Vatican Council and which has come to be seen as Magisterial. </p> <p>While of course it is true that there is only one God – Scripture tells us that all other gods are in fact, demons – the Cardinal is quite wrong in stating that the monotheistic religions worship the same God. He himself seemed to reject that idea in the past. For example, in 2006, the Cardinal <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.endeavourforum.org.au/articles/persecution-of-christians/cardinal-pell-islam.html" target="_blank">pointed out</a> that Catholics, Christians and Muslims do not universally believe that they worship the same God. </p> <p>He said that <em>“It is difficult to recognise the God of the New Testament in the God of the Koran, and two very different concepts of the human person have emerged from the Christian and Muslim understandings of God.”</em> </p> <p>Has the Cardinal come to change his position? It certainly would appear so. Has the Pope’s Abu-Dhabi project, that great triumph of Freemasonic indifferentism, influenced the Cardinal so much so he renounces the Church’s consistent teaching on this fundamental truth? I certainly hope this is not the case. </p> <p><strong>Please note that I do not in any way suggest that the good Cardinal is connected in any way with Freemasonry – other than that he has almost undoubtedly been the victim of its assaults over the years.</strong> </p> <p>I will be most upset – perhaps litigiously so – if anyone accuses me of saying such a thing.</p> <p>I draw attention to his comments only to show how prevalent religious indifferentism is today, even in conservative circles. This indifferentism has its roots in Freemasonry and has long been one of its goals.</p> <p>Before the Council, this was the constant teaching of the Church, and the clergy warned of the dangers of religious indifferentism. Ideas like those put forward in the 19th Century by the Freemasonic occultist, Éliphas Lévi, who hoped for a Catholic Church that allowed Jews and Muslims to worship within Her without a renunciation of their own faith, were condemned. The errors were clearly exposed for all the faithful. </p> <p>Similarly, academics like Hilaire Belloc warned of the heresy implicit in Islam, explaining the movement began as a <em><strong>corruption</strong></em> of Christianity from which Mohammed excised all that is supernatural from and then taught an erroneous, oversimplified doctrine. </p> <p>Less than a hundred years later, this error was to find itself being promulgated by the Church Herself, in such documents as <em>Lumen Gentium</em>, which states that Muslims and Catholics worship the same God. </p> <p>Hence a grave error has been sown in the fabric of the Church – a great contradiction that exhibits the hallmarks of a <em>hermeneutic of discontinuity</em>.</p> <p>As Bishop Schneider remarked when speaking on this topic in his book, <em>Christus Vincit</em>, <em>“We have to call all non-Christians to the one true path to God., which is the Catholic Church. The Apostles and the entire Church taught this for two thousand years. The Church could not err for two thousand years.” </em>(p 97.)</p> <p>Bishop Schneider is, however, not one to ignore or condemn individual members of other faiths. As he stated in <em>Christus Vincit</em>, he has good relations with Muslims in Kazakhstan and has, at times, joined in efforts with members of the Jewish faith. He is not xenophobic, but neither does he shy away from the truth that someone who rejects the Trinitarian God of Christians does not pray to that God, but to another of their own making.</p> <p>A brief look at some of the Church Fathers will further illustrate the traditional Catholic view:</p> <p></p> <p><p>St Augustine: “This heresy affirms that all heretics are on the right path and that al teach the truth. This is so monstrous an absurdity that it seems to me to be incredible.”</p> <p>Pope Pius VII: “By the fact that the indiscriminate freedom of all forms of worship is proclaimed, truth is confused with error, and the Holy and Immaculate Spouse of Christ is placed on the same level as heretical sects…” – <em>Post Tam Diuturnas</em></p></p> <p><p>Pope Gregory XVI: “…. those who pretend that the way to [eternal] beatitude starts with any religion at all should be afraid and should seriously think over the fact that, according to the testimony of the Saviour Himself, they are against Christ, because they are not for Christ, and that they are miserably scattering because they are not gathering with Him…” – <em>Mirari Vos</em></p></p> <p></p> <p>It is to be hoped that Cardinal Pell and other conservative, yet sadly quite Modernist, clergymen wake up to the errors that were promulgated by Vatican II and begin to teach the Faith in its entirely and totally in accordance with tradition. Perhaps then, these well-meaning but deluded men will pray with St Celestine:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>Pray that the Faith may be granted to infidels, that idolators may be delivered from the errors of impiety, that the light of truth may be visible to Jews….</p><cite>St Celestine, Council of Ephesus. 431</cite></blockquote> <div

class="entry-content"> <p><a href="https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2021-06/reasons-for-our-hope-oasis-christian-muslim-mcgrath.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NewsletterVN-EN">Vatican News</a> this week published a story on a new ecumenical initiative designed to help Catholics find “a new understanding of their faith by taking Muslim questions seriously.” One wonders why the old method of teaching Catholics their catechism was found to be wanting. </p> <p>“Reasons for our Hope” is a joint project of the Cardinal Angelo Scola’s <em>Oasis International Foundation</em> and the <em>McGrath Institute. </em></p> <p>The current phase of this Islamic-Catholic dialogue involves the release of three videos, designed to teach Moslems and Christians to appreciate the Internal coherence of each others’ faiths. The videos are animated and very simplistic – even insultingly so – distilling two thousand years of Catholic teaching into a feel-good fairy-tale and completely ignoring Islam’s 14 centtury-old animosity and blasphemy toward the Person of Jesus Christ.</p> <p>The video entitled, <a href="https://www.oasiscenter.eu/en/reasons-for-our-hope-episode-1">“Jesus in the Bible and in the Qur’an”</a> looks at similarities=es and differences between the two holy books’ approaches to Jesus Christ. Nowhere is it mentioned that Christians believe Jesus to be the Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, not that He Himself made that claim. Instead, the presentation focuses on the way both faiths present Jesus as a prophet who performed miracles.</p> <p>A second video, <a href="https://www.oasiscenter.eu/en/reasons-for-our-hope-an-introduction-to-our-new-project">“Reasons for our Hope” </a>features images that look eerily like the temples planned for the Pope’s Abrahamic House project. “Parallel universes of meaning, each governed by its own law”</p> <p>“Many prophets, one message.” – to remind the people to worship God. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/snMMW8sKoknXX1Sq_nvJCplhHX8yJbqCbey1fzBseTMYd2NE2xd3kVy31Efxb-o6hpGii-SkXF_VtLhuf9PnO3RNVJz_E9rLN3sGlvG7yu2T6XuQ-finoHjW8AQi5AVYv3Tkya0" alt="" /></figure> <p>This video inches a little closer to the truth about Jesus, saying that His identification with “Emmanuel – God-With-us” is “inconceivable” to Moslems. No problem, the video purrs, all that is necessary is to “journey into another universe of meaning” aka the Christian Bible, where an alternative, internally coherent Truth is taught.</p> <p>The narrator then males the extraordinarily false claim that “Bible is the story of God’s search for humanity.”</p> <p>The final episode, “<a href="https://www.oasiscenter.eu/en/reasons-for-our-hope-episode-3">The Place of Jesus in the Bible”</a>, also fails to mention the Trinity and the fact that Jesus is more than the Messiah, but is the only-begotten Son of God. The video closes with the hope that “ … with a generous heart, everyone can see coherence and beauty in the universe of the Qur’an and of the Bible. With this as a beginning, fraternity and friendship are the next steps.”</p> <p>Cardinal Scola was part of the <em>Nouvelle Théologie </em>of the Conciliar years, and contributed to the publication, “Communio” along with Henri de Lubac, Hans Urs von Balthasar and then-Fr Ratzinger. Like many proponents of the “New Theology”, Scola was relatively orthodox in matters such as the indissolubility of marriage, non-reception of Communion for those in irregular marriages and the existence of the devil. He even defended the traditional Mass when he became Archbishop of Milan in 2017. However, one area in which the “New Theology” went dangerously wrong was in its attitude toward ecumenism.</p> <p>Cardinal Scola founded the <em>Oasis International Foundation</em> in 20014. Typical of projects attempting to find a “third way” and “common ground”, the Foundation omits much of the truth about Catholicism and the Person of Jesus Christ while glossing over fundamental problems with Islam.</p> <p>A quote from Cardinal Scola on the <em>Oasis</em><a href="https://www.oasiscenter.eu/en/about-us"> website</a> states that the Christian faith recognises that non-Christian cultures are “inalienable and intrinsic dimensions of its own nature.”</p> <p>The website features  this logo from the Pope’s trip to Egypt several years ago. It looks less like an image of Catholicism and more like the emblem for a One World Religion.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/EmPTgcrFPMrNXjQcnxH07JsQA4Ga6yX1NCkYOu2FeOaMgdg8rU-XRxWdiYXoF7PPSFTln-sZZbU027vMXs_8XNUwmSjG1_RNQbCnYJObQEXBk_W5pAvY_fxfkuNKbZzbK0bDXTc" alt="" /></figure> <p>Collaborating with the Cardinal’s Oasis Foundation is the <em>McGrath Institute for Church Life</em>. A look at the<em> </em><a href="https://mcgrath.nd.edu/about/history-and-mission/"><em>McGrath Institute</em></a><em>’s </em>History and Mission page proves quite illuminating and the “Origins” section tells you all you need to know about this outfit. The organisation began as The Centre for Pastoral and Social Ministry, under the guidance of the late Monsignor John Egan, and the website cites his “Chicago-based urban ministry projects.” If that rings an alarm bell, it should – Monsignor Egan was a protege of Saul Alinsky, the communist agitator who actively sought out members of the Catholic hierarchy to collaborate with during the 1940’s.</p> <p>The videos’ New Age background music and fluid graphics cause one to wonder what kind of subliminal message may be presented to the unwary viewer. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/dOa8NR_4GCUss0yHUlF1gEwx2O9F_gNUzmdRT8cC0ycjjqufWOjE2U34OYwmLvk__kWuf6Cos1e0EJMQNpL-jxukK8yVwA5h7LXkruGk6jDJPGujcZvVbg3GScezGoA9htXKmDo" alt="" /></figure> <p>At a time when the world needs more than ever to hear the saving message of the Gospels, in its pure and unadulterated form, it is more than irresponsible for members of the Church to suggest a “deeper look’ at Islam. However, if one is committed to promulgating a Freemasonic, indifferentist religion, then a project like this ticks all the boxes.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span

Women were recently given the right to drive, but that only underscored how severely Saudi society oppresses women,” Spencer underscored.</p> <p>Saudi Arabia was the only country up for membership that failed to get elected, leading Bruno Stagno, Deputy Executive Director of Human Rights Watch (HRW), to applaud the “stunning rebuke to Saudi Arabia under Mohammed bin Salman.”</p> <p>It was the “only country not elected, shunned by a majority of the U.N. The kingdom reaped what it deserves for its serious violations of human rights and war crimes abroad,” Stagno <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://twitter.com/BrunoStagno/status/1316089865256292354?s=20" target="_blank">observed</a>.</p> <p>Ironically, while Saudi Arabia hosts an international Interfaith Forum endorsed by Pope Francis, “with few exceptions, Saudi Arabia does not tolerate public worship by adherents of religions other than Islam,” HRW 2020 <a href="https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2020/country-chapters/saudi-arabia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World Report</a> states.</p> <p>The Islamic theocracy “systematically discriminates” even “against Muslim religious minorities” while “government-affiliated religious authorities” continue to “disparage Shia and Sufi interpretations, versions and understandings of Islam in public statements, documents and school textbooks,” HRW <a href="https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2020/country-chapters/saudi-arabia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Death Penalty, Immigration</h3> <p>The country is notorious for its use of the death penalty, HRW notes. On April 23, 2019, it carried out a mass execution of 37 men, including 33 from the country’s minority Shia community “who had been convicted following unfair trials.”</p> <p>Saudi Arabia’s Interior Ministry reported that the country executed 179 persons between January and mid-November 2019, mostly for murder and drug crimes. Executions are by firing squad, beheading and even <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/05/saudi-seven-crucifixion-armed-robbery" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">crucifixion</a>, sometimes in public.</p> <p>Pope Francis has stridently opposed the death penalty in his latest encyclical, <em><a href="http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/it/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20201003_enciclica-fratelli-tutti.html">Fratelli Tutti</a></em>, but has remained silent on the practice in Islamic countries and continues to ally himself with Islamic proponents of the death penalty like Saudi Arabia and Grand Imam of al-Azhar Ahmad al-Tayyeb, Church Militant <a href="https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/death-to-apostates-imam-negates-fratelli-tutti" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>.</p> <p>In stark opposition to Pope Francis’ call for the welcome and humane treatment of migrants in <em><a href="http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/it/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20201003_enciclica-fratelli-tutti.html">Fratelli Tutti</a></em>, Saudi Arabia is known for its systemic oppression of migrant workers.</p> <p>Further, the theocracy is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention and does not have an asylum system to protect people fearing persecution.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Call to Unity</h3> <p>At the Forum, Cdl. Ayuso flagged the pontiff’s encyclical <a href="https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2020/10/g20-interfaith-forum-urges-putting-human-dignity-back-at-the-center-of-global-debate/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">calling</a> for “unity, solidarity and fraternity, for bettering our ‘common home,’ as Pope Francis is continuously reminding us all.”</p> <p>It is necessary to answer Pope Francis’ call to “reaffirm that we are members of the one human family,” he <a href="https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2020/10/g20-interfaith-forum-urges-putting-human-dignity-back-at-the-center-of-global-debate/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">added</a>.</p> <p>Father Weninger remarked:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>The International Conference on 21st Century Slavery stated that human trafficking constitutes a shocking offense against human dignity and a grave violation of fundamental human rights, particularly the sexual exploitation of women and children.</p><p>Injustice, exploitation and abuse are often deeply institutionalized due to financial profit. There is a need for faith leaders to challenge these social injustices, particularly as they constitute a fundamental issue of human rights.</p></blockquote> <p>Participants at the conference include Ecumenical patriarch Bartholomew, Orthodox metropolitan Emmanuel Adamakis of France, Coptic bishop Anba Marco, Anglican Richard Sudworth representing the archbishop of Canterbury and Sr. Sharon Eubank from the Mormons.</p> <p>Prominent Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish leaders are also participants.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="cat-links">Categories <a
