All one needs to know about Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s visit to the Republic of Korea, more commonly referred to as South Korea, is that he is always at home bashing believing Catholics where[ever] in the world he finds himself.
Just consider the following passage from the Argentine Apostate’s address to the conciliar “bishops” of the Republic of Korea:
Being guardians of memory means more than remembering and treasuring the graces of the past; it also means drawing from them the spiritual resources to confront with vision and determination the hopes, the promise and the challenges of the future. As you yourselves have noted, the life and mission of the Church in Korea are not ultimately measured in external, quantitative and institutional terms; rather, they must be judged in the clear light of the Gospel and its call to conversion to the person of Jesus Christ. To be guardians of memory means realizing that while the growth is from God (cf. 1 Cor 3:6), it is also the fruit of quiet and persevering labor, past and present. Our memory of the martyrs and past generations of Christians must be one that is realistic, not idealized or “triumphalistic”. Looking to the past without hearing God’s call to conversion in the present will not help us move forward; instead, it will only hold us back and even halt our spiritual progress. (Bergoglio tells bishops to be guardians of memory and hope.) [cont.]
