    No need to apologise. You weren't to know and I wasn't offended,

    We can reject the nonsense in our own lives. That's as far as we can go. The Holy Father knows the true path and people with more authority than us have reminded him of that path. I don't think that God looks too kindly on rebellion against lawful authority. Nobody can judge the first See. We must obey in all things but sin and I don't plan on taking advantage of any of these new pastoral practices or non sacramental blessings. Much as it pains me to say it, "I'm all right Jack" is probably the only valid option for us lowly sheep. There's no point letting it disturb our peace. We'll have a new Pope soon enough. Maybe God will take pity on us and give us a Pope whose yes means yes and no means no. Should that happen, we need to be prepared for real persecution of the Church. Unity will be extremely important then, so let's try not to undermine the papacy and the authority that goes with it.

    With respect to Pope Francis involving himself in COVID and environmental policies, it ought to be remembered that the Second Vatican Council explicitly declares that popes should not deploy their religious authority in prudential matters, about which they have no special knowledge. Regarding the environmental 'crisis', according to a review in Zerohedge of Michael Mann's latest book, this very prominent climate change scientist has criticised the attempts to rapidly reduce carbon levels, quite sanely stating that such actions, given the rising world population, will lead to far more deaths than any conceivable consequences of climate change. He suggests that weaning ourselves off fossil fuels should be done over a timetable of centuries, rather than decades. Our pope, who knows no more about these matters than any ordinary person, is incorrectly using his authority to encourage the present famine-inducing insanity, in contrast with Mann, a genuine authority on the subject.

    Rebellion? With all due respect, you are using the false arguments of the enemies of the Christian Faith, they are the ones rebelling against God. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life." (John 14:6), so those who are enemies of the Truth are the enemies of God Himself, including Pope Francis who has rebelled against the divinely revealed Truth. And you may say that he did not change the doctrine, he just proposed dubious pastoral paths, but that is in itself another falsehood because it is not possible to separate the practice from the doctrine, that is another satanic lie. It is not about "judging the first See", it is about not letting the person who occupies "the first See" judge the Christian Truth divinely revealed and preserved over the centuries through the apostolic tradition and the blood of the martyrs.

    What we must to do in this apocalyptic moment in the history of the Church is to stand firm and protect God against the very powerful rebellion that has risen against Him and that has infiltrated the church to the very top. If necessary, we even have to be willing to give our lives for the Truth that Pope Francis is trying to destroy.

    criticism of this pontificate is a way of ensuring the unity of the Church in the sense of remembering that there is a living magisterium of 2000 years that ensures that Roman Catholicism is the true religion. I don't know how long Pope Francis has left to live, but I know that until his last day he could lead millions of souls to eternal damnation with the confusion he is causing about the teachings of the Church, for example when he says he wishes hell were empty which can be a great incentive for the lost sheep to consider not reforming their lives.

    And the truth is that Francis is undermining all the structures and documents of the Church so that a future holy Pope will have extreme difficulty rebuilding what he destroyed. The college of cardinals itself is infested with dozens of heretics and apostates handpicked by Francis.

    Wholeheartedly agree with this. Let's just say that if all these goings on in the Church in this world were going on 30 years ago or so, I myself would likely not still be here, because "pastoral". I'll leave it at that. I judge no one's soul, and try to make an honest effort to understand where people are coming from. I try to stay as detached as possible from what's happening, working to view it as objectively and rationally as possible. But I won't lie to myself anymore about what's happening. I believe St. Paul said something about "not letting the sun go down on your anger". Not an easy thing. As for souls, I leave that to God. What I think or feel matters not.

    An excellent question John-Henry Westen would have liked to have seen Tucker ask Vladimir Putin?

    Thank God John-Henry Westen maintains some lucidity in not sharing all that excitement that some Western Catholics have every time they hear Putinist propaganda. And that doesn't mean he's in love with the New World Order system that prevails in the West, not at all, he is one of its biggest critics.

    Read the comments from the above link. There are historical facts for reasons why the Catholic Church is not exactly tolerated as much as we would want in Russia. One of the obvious reasons is that they are Orthodox. It’s not just all about Putin. Unfortunately, this papacy has done an awful job trying to unite with the Orthodox.

    Dostoevsky, who could not be accused of being a Bolshevik and was unquestionably a very devout Christian, was quite hostile to the Catholic Church in his writings, most notably in 'The Brothers Karamazov'. Whatever the reasons for it, perhaps mostly Russian pride, this attitude has been around a very long time.

    As I said a few pages ago, it is somewhat contradictory for the Russian government to allow the free preaching of Islam and not allow free Catholic proselytism. Some Russian Orthodox might wonder if there is any logic in freely allowing religions that deny the divinity of Our Lord and banning Catholicism because of the papacy. I hope Carlson or another brave journalist asks Putin this in an interview.

    And at that moment, the interview script will again be a very cute one, as happens whenever a dictator offers an interview.

    Of course, there are several historical reasons for the hostility to Catholicism in Russia, dating back to the time of the Tsars, especially when we talk about Eastern Rite Catholicism, the undesirable Uniates. A pure Catholic fabrication created for the West to infiltrate the East and replace the local Orthodox Church, from the Russian perspective. But as beautiful as the Byzantine tradition is, extra ecclesiam nulla salus, the Russian Orthodox Church is a schismatic and heretical church that needs to convert to the Catholic faith.

    They don't have to give up their beautiful liturgical traditions, they just have to accept Roman primacy and Catholic dogmas, those defined after the schism of 1054, including that of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. Part of this process has already happened on a large scale in Ukraine, where the largest Eastern Rite Catholic Church is based, whose existence is once again threatened by an ideology coming from Russia. We are talking about millions of Eastern Rite Catholics, joined by those from the Ukrainian diaspora spread across the world. And as in the communist past, when Stalin used the Russian Orthodox Church, the official church of the regime, to practically annihilate the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, this risk returned to Ukraine with the Putinist invasion.

    This isn't an opinion, you just have to regularly read the main Catholic news channels in Ukraine, which, as a Catholic, I value much more than the propaganda channels of the Putin regime.

    But that’s not about Putin. Blame Obama and the globalists. Our State Department started the wars.

    I don't understand your comment, sister. I don't understand what the godless globalists and the USA have to do with Russia's historical non-acceptance of the Catholic Faith in the East...

    The millions of Eastern-rite Catholics in Ukraine are seen as a threat to Russia, both by the Putinist regime and its official church. Much more so now that the horrible crimes carried out by the Russian army in Ukraine with the support of the Russian Orthodox Church have led to many Orthodox Christians affiliated with the Moscow Patriarchate transitioning to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (and this is indeed conversion to Catholicism). You must therefore imagine the plans that Vladimir Putin and Kirill must have for Byzantine-rite Catholics after his "denazification operation" in Ukraine is completed. In Russia, Greek Catholics are a tiny minority controlled by the regime who are not aloud to poselytize, then you don't have to be very smart to guess what it will be like in Ukraine under Putin and Kirill.

    The truth is that no matter how bad and godless the current weak Western system may be for Ukraine, the Catholic Church will have a harder time living or even surviving under Russian rule. This is why Ukrainian Catholics, both Latin and Eastern rites, chose sides in this conflict long before the invasion. Even if many of their western Catholic brothers support their enemy.

    And I say again, this is not my opinion, this is the information published daily through Ukrainian religious and Catholic information channels that I invite you to read before joining any kind of "Z trad" movement:
    I'm Catholic and that's why I stand with them!

    I’m speaking about Putin’s invasion. I blame his decision to expand the war on Obama and now Biden.

    It’s not propaganda. I remember it exactly like the article explains. In the U.S. we have a huge problem with Neocons. There isn’t a conservative bone in their bodies. They are warmongering liberals. They don’t care how much taxpayers have to pay for these concocted wars. Who do they end up hurting? The middle class. They get burned every time.

    Unfortunately, these senseless wars have also hurt our Catholic brothers. But then that was the intention all along. Division is what the evil one wants.

    Yes, I have no doubt that the US government is completely infested with evil, just as Russia has never been completely free of it and so it is now reappearing, just as I have no doubt that Vladimir Putin is a murderous dictator and does not represent my Christian culture.
