THESE words by Pope Pius XI in his 1925 encyclical Quas Primas, On the Kingship of Christ can be read as a public rebuke from the past, a scolding by a real pope of a phony pope. They directly contradict “Pope” Francis’s encomiums of secular democracy in his speech before Congress yesterday:

It would be a grave error …. to say that Christ has no authority whatever in civil affairs, since, by virtue of the absolute empire over all creatures committed to him by the Father, all things are in his power. Nevertheless, during his life on earth he refrained from the exercise of such authority, and although he himself disdained to possess or to care for earthly goods, he did not, nor does he today, interfere with those who possess them. Non eripit mortalia qui regna dat caelestia.[27]

Thus the empire of our Redeemer embraces all men. To use the words of Our immortal predecessor, Pope Leo XIII: “His empire includes not only Catholic nations, not only baptized persons who, though of right belonging to the Church, have been led astray by error, or have been cut off from her by schism, but also all those who are outside the Christian faith; so that truly the whole of mankind is subject to the power of Jesus Christ.”[28] Nor is there any difference in this matter between the individual and the family or the State; for all men, whether collectively or individually, are under the dominion of Christ. In him is the salvation of the individual, in him is the salvation of society.  (more…)

THOMAS DROLESKEY writes: A supposed “pope” gives a “blessing” to a woman who is living in sin with the divorced, pro-abortion, pro-perversity Governor of the State of New York, Andrew Mark Cuomo, while praising Figlio di Sfachim’s father, the pro-abortion, pro-perversity Governor Mario Matthew Cuomo (see  It Is Still A Terrible Thing to Fall into the Hands of the Living God). Support the killing of babies as a “legal right” of women to “choose”? No problem with Jorge as long as you are for “social justice” and oppose the death penalty, both in theory and in practice. Gee, I guess I really wasted my time back in 1986 when I thought I was doing my duty as a Catholic to speak against Cuomo the Elder when I ran for lieutenant governor on the New York State Right to Life Party ticket with the longtime District Attorney of Nassau County, New York, the late Denis E. Dillon. Everything goes in Jorge’s false church, including all concept of authentic justice for the innocent preborn. Bergoglio made a “quiet” show of support for the Little Sisters of the Poor in Washington, District of Columbia yesterday, but he has no qualms about publicly calling Mario Cuomo a “great man.” What a fake, phony, fraud. I really do not know which is worse, Jorge Mario Bergoglio praising Mario Cuomo or the obnoxious pro-abortion, pro-perversity camera-hogging Senator Charles H. “Chuck” Schumer, the future Senate Minority (or Majority) Leader…

HENRY MAKOW, who was raised as a Jew, writes in his latest column on the recent controversy over Ann Coulter's "anti-Semitic" remarks: Anti Semitism is very good for Jewish leadership but not so good for ordinary Jews who are unaware of the Satanic nature and agenda of the Jewish enterprise.  Anti Semitism enables the leaders to control and manipulate the flock who think they are hated for no reason. This is why Jewish organizations lovingly tabulate incidents of anti Semitism every year. Why the Jewish leadership organizes terrorism and pogroms against Jews. Why the Jewish leadership is implicated in the Holocaust. Why Jews are trauma brainwashed. Anti Semitism makes Jews support Israel. Jews are not monolithic. Like all groups in society today, and society itself, the leadership is Cabalist or Satanic. The rank and file are sheep. Ultimately, if things go wrong, the blame will be cast on the rank and file.

SOME QUICK HIGHLIGHTS from “Pope” Francis’s speech to Congress:

*He never once mentions the name of Jesus Christ, the King and Redeemer of all nations

*He does mention Moses, in what is arguably a subtle hat tip to Jews

*In the language of a fervent secular humanist, he praises American democracy, without condemning its failure to recognize God’s rights over society

*He lavishes more glowing words on American freedom, failing to state the Catholic position that true human freedom cannot be cultivated by any state that does not recognize the moral authority of the Catholic Church

*He harangues American citizens, who in the last 50 years have taken in tens of millions of immigrants, many of whom have violated the country’s laws, for not being hospitable enough

*He never mentions that Catholic doctrine does not support the dissolution of nations, illegal acts or insubordination to just laws

*He praises Martin Luther King even though King rejected the One True Religion and was a pawn of the Communist-created civil rights movement, which has led to the mass moral oppression of American descendants of slaves

*He does not condemn the tyrannical Supreme Court decision overturning natural law on marriage in Obergefell vs. Hodges

*He does not condemn “gay marriage” despite the claims to the contrary by some ridiculous, addled journalists who say that his reference to the family does indeed constitute criticism

*He never mentions federally-funded Planned Parenthood, which not only kills millions of unborn children every year but traffics in baby parts

*He never mentions the arrest of Kim Davis

*He criticizes the death penalty, in the sort of strongly-worded, unambiguous language he does not use on most major issues of the day, even though the Magisterium does not teach that the death penalty is intrinsically immoral and even though the number of lives ending in the death penalty is minuscule compared to those lost to American crime, abortion, AIDS and other sexually-transmitted diseases

*For these and other reasons, he adds to the mountain of evidence (more here), which includes blatant, indisputable heresies; the promotion of rites, laws and doctrines that do not conform to the Catholic religion; and even shocking blasphemy against the Mother of God, that he does not believe in the Catholic faith and therefore cannot, despite his celebrity status and in keeping with the warnings and discernment of theologians, canon lawyers and popes, be considered a legitimate pope because a non-Catholic leading Catholics is a logical absurdity.

BROTHER NATHANAEL, the in-your-face critic of Jewish influence who brings a distinctively Jewish style (he's a convert) to his video polemics, argues that the refugee crisis in Europe was deliberately provoked by Israel and American neocons in order to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

AMERICA, right down to its modern-day versions of gladiators and slaves, is similar in important ways to the world of ancient Rome when Saint Peter, the first pope, arrived there during the reign of Emperor Nero. He arrived without a security detail and without the imprimatur of the emperor. He brought his courage and the truth. He brought the facts of the Resurrection. He brought the love of the true God to a place of philosophical chaos, multiculturalism and moral relativism. Yes, America is similar. It has a similar air of permanence to the Rome of that time. It has similar dazzling luxury and forms of cruelty that are simply taken for granted. Fr. Michael Muller in his 1880 book The Church and her Enemies describes the scene which greeted the first pope in Rome:

One thousand eight hundred and forty odd years ago, a poor, meanly-clad wanderer went to the capital of the world, the wealthy, magnificent city of Rome. He passes its gates, and threads his way, unobserved, through populous streets. On every side he beholds splendid palaces, raised at the expense of down-trodden nationalities; he beholds stately temples, dedicated to as many false gods as nations were represented in Rome; he beholds public baths and amphitheatres, devoted to pleasure and to cruelty; he beholds statues, monuments, and triumphal arches, raised to the memory of blood thirsty tyrants. He passes warriors and senators, beggars and cripples, effeminate men and dissolute women, gladiators and slaves, merchants and statesmen, orators and philosophers of all classes, all ranks, all conditions of men, of every language and color under the sun. Everywhere he sees a maddening race for pleasure. Everywhere the impress of luxury, everywhere the full growth of crime, side by side with indescribable suffering, diabolical cruelty and barbarity.

READ the full text of "Pope" Francis's speech before Obama here. It's appalling revolutionary boilerplate crammed with every cliché of the world controllers. Not a single mention of Jesus Christ. Once again, Jorge Bergoglio abandons Catholics everywhere for the religion of man. "American Catholics are committed to building a society which is truly tolerant and inclusive." He warmly speaks of Obama's efforts to control air pollution. Mr. President, I find it encouraging that you are proposing an initiative for reducing air pollution. Accepting the urgency, it seems clear to me also that climate change is a problem which can no longer be left to a future generation. When it comes to the care of our “common home,” we are living at a critical moment of history. We still have time to make the changes needed to bring about “a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change” (Laudato Si’, 13).

NOVUS ORDO WATCH writes: All bets are off as Mr. Jorge Bergoglio, the Argentinian apostate layman claiming to be the Pope of the Catholic Church, meets Barack Obama, the infanticide-promoting, Kenyan-born Socialist dictator claiming to be the President of the United States. Obama has long outed himself as an admirer of “Pope” Bergoglio, joining other high-profile leftists such as Hillary Clinton, Elton John, Madonna, Bernie Sanders, and others. After visiting fellow-revolutionaries Fidel and Raul Castro in Cuba earlier in the week, Francis now marches on Washington, New York City, and Philadelphia to further promote his show of “humility”, “mercy”, and “love” that are nothing of the sort. Nevertheless, we dare make some predictions ... Read more here.   Follow the Novus Ordo Watch live twitter feed for outstanding, ongoing commentary on Francis's visit to the United States.

MICHAEL HOFFMAN, author of Judaism Discovered, writes at his website:

In 2015 Yom Kippur begins Tuesday evening, September 22, wherein the western world will watch in awe as “pious Jews” allegedly “beg God for forgiveness” while supposedly “striving for righteousness.” No doubt that the pope of Rome and the heads of the Protestant fundamentalist churches will convey their esteem for the Yom Kippur ceremony as performed by “God’s people.”

On Yom Kippur the infamous Kol Nidrei takes place, almost always explained away to the public as a blessed ceremony of begging God for forgiveness for oaths that were violated, contracts that were broken and promises that were not kept in the past year. The trouble is, that pious picture is a phony.

Being inherently skeptical of almost everything produced by the mainstream media networks, I was a bit suspicious of recent reports about a 14-year-old boy in Texas who was treated quite poorly by police due to “Islamophobia” on behalf of school administrators and law enforcement. However, all initial reports were mostly from the big media outlets and the reports I read from smaller news outlets or individual bloggers which contradicted the “Islamophobia” narrative either appeared somewhat biased (i.e., neocons) or had no references to back up their opinions. Whenever I observe the big media networks use any word with the “phobia” suffix (homophobia, Islamophobia, etc.) it seems they’re usually pushing a false narrative, aside from being annoying, as with the post-Watergate trend of naming all scandals with the “gate” suffix. If media reports are to be believed, this budding genius had “invented” some type of electronic clock or similar device and put it into a suitcase to transport it to his school. Then after arriving at school, the horrible, bigoted Christians immediately suspected the boy of bringing in a bomb because Christian, bigoted bigots are big on bigotry. Especially in Texas dontcha’ know. (more…)

In March 2011, [Muammar] Gaddafi warned that without unified and stable Libya there would be no one to control countless migrants from Africa and the Middle East from fleeing to Europe. Unlike Western leaders, he apparently understood that millions, not thousands will come, should Tripoli fall.

IN A 2010 essay on "The Art of Verbal Swordsmanship," sent in response to the verbal duel in this entry, the writer Caryl Johnston makes an important point about the role of women as listeners, a role undermined by the busyness and extrovertedness of the feminist way of life: What if the relative historical silence of women has existed in order that the faculty of hearing might become spiritualized? It is the principle of reculer pour mieux sauter -- hold back in order to leap forward. Both to hunger and to hear enable us to form an empty space, a silence, fit for reception and waiting. Such a contrast to the spilling of our substance in the moment, the consumption and wastage of the spirit in fitful politics. Here is an entirely different thought from that offered by the vulgar cause of Feminism. Feminists would detest to hear me say that a woman’s highest possibility lies in Obedience (which means, by the way, hearing, being able to hear)-- that is, to the solar principles of thinking. But the woman who embarks upon the Path of Honor has already left feminism far behind. It is but a new theory of repletion, and she has learned it is much more interesting not to be

 FRANCIS met with Fidel Castro but dissidents were blocked from seeing Francis.

THOMAS DROLESKEY writes at Christ or Chaos:

Going just a step or two beyond what “Saint John Paul” or “Pope Benedict XVI” did upon their own respective visits to Cuba in 1998 and 2012, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, aka “Pope Francis,” expressed his “respect” for a mass murdering Marxist-Leninist thug, Fidel Castro, doing so when giving his welcoming address upon arriving at Jose Marti International Airport in Havana, Cuba, on Saturday, September 19, 2015, the Feast of Saint Januarius and the Commemorations of Ember Saturday in September and of the Vigil of Saint Matthew the Apostle.

Here’s what Jorge Mario Bergoglio said upon his arrival in Havana, Cuba, a nation that has been imprisoned by the torturing likes of Fidel Castro and his brother Raul, who succeeded him as President of the Council of the Ministers of Cuba on February 24, 2008:

My gratitude also goes to Cardinal Jaime Ortega y Alamino, Archbishop of Havana, the Most Reverend Dionisio Guillermo García Ibáñez, Archbishop of Santiago de Cuba and President of the Episcopal Conference, the other bishops and all the Cuban people, for their warm welcome.

I thank, too, all those who worked to prepare for this Pastoral Visit.  Mr President, I would ask you to convey my sentiments of particular respect and consideration to your brother Fidel.  I would like my greeting to embrace especially all those who, for various reasons, I will not be able to meet, and to Cubans throughout the world. (Antipope Jorge rrives in Cuba, encourages reconciliation.)

Respect for Fidel Castro?

Respect for an avowed Marxist-Leninist?

Respect for a mass murdering atheist?

[ ….]

There will be many in the “conservative” and semi-traditional blogosphere who will claim that Bergoglio is attempting to convert Fidel Castro by giving him a book written by a former teacher of his, Father Segundo Llorentea, S. J., whom Castro sent into exile shortly after he overthrew Battista in 1959, a little fact ignored by the news report from the Vatican Propaganda Office, and a compact disc with Fathr Llorentea’s voice. Such a contention, however would fall into the “nice try” category as any such “conversion” would be premised upon Fidel Castro’s coming to understand that there is little difference between his version of “social justice” and Jorge’s own beliefs, which is why the false “pope” gave the Jesuit-educated butcher a copy of Laudato Si, May 24, 2015, and Evangelii Gaudium, November 26, 2013. To believe that Jorge Mario Bergoglio is attempting to “convert” Fidel Castro to what almost everyone alive today believes is the Catholic Church and to abjure his support for Marxism-Leninism, is illusory. [cont.] (more…)

Traditio writes of U.S. Congressman Paul Gosar's boycott of Francis's upcoming speech before Congress: Gosar originally thought that Bergoglio was going to address the persecution and execution of Christians and by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and other terrorist Mohammedan Infidel organizations, condemning their heinous slaughter of Christians, and the rape and enslavement of Christian women and children. Gosar also expected Bergoglio to address the infanticides being perpetrated by Planned Parenthood, currently a hot topic in the United States because of its public funding. Instead, Francis is expected to talk about global warming.
