EVEN a relatively new Catholic can see that Jorge Bergoglio is not Catholic. A commenter at this blog senses the truth about “Pope” Francis:

Prior to Pope Francis’ election, I was a new Catholic, excited as everyone to see who our new Pope would be; filled with nothing but positive anticipation. I will never forget the moment I saw him on the balcony I was filled instantly with a strange, unforeseen sense of anger, rage really. Strange, since I’d never heard of him, not once, knew nothing of him, had never seen him, and as a new Catholic had little frame of reference. Why this strange sense of dread? This has never left me.

Then, all of the strange, revolutionary alterations to Church teaching, thinking, practice began. I will select just one moment among many, perhaps a minor moment early on, that confirmed for me my personal judgements.

Upon returning from Brazil, WYD 2013, Pope Francis went straight to Mary Major Basilica with a green and yellow plastic beach ball under his arm and, without pausing to bend his knee, bow, or even slightly incline his head, casually strolled straight up to the Tabernacle on the High Altar and placed against its side the cheesy, slightly deflated beach ball and a soccer jersey. Placed it right next to the Tabernacle wherein was Christ our King. The ball kept rolling off, so he had to make repeated grabs of the rolling ball on the Altar, and eventually wedged it up against the Tabernacle with the jersey.

One of many moments in time during the last two years when I just stared, gaping, aghast. What the heck?! This was not mere optical misjudgemeant. This demonstrated real unbelief. A fearful thing, at least to me.

An unbeliever might say a mere beach ball in a fancy building was a small thing, (as it appears to be to Pope Francis). Perhaps kind of funny,demonstrating a good sense of the people’s humor. But to a Christian this is sacrilege. Short, natural steps from that to the Wiccan coronation of St. Peter’s; much, much bigger things flow from a heart willing to choose and do the small.

The incessant destruction of essential pillars of our Faith which we have been witnessing for some time naturally followed and is now accelerating and expanding in ever-widening paths. All flowing from the same heart willing to place a beach ball on God’s holy Altar.
