As the British would say: “Surely, he’s having a laugh?”.
Today we reference a post that appeared on the catholic Zero Hedge website titled Pope Francis Warns Against “Saviours” Like Hitler, But Says “We Must Wait And See” On Trump. (I will not repost below just to keep this post short, but please go to link and read the source post.)
In this post, we are provided with some key information that is relevant to understanding the “intellectual” basis for Francis’ “bishopric of Rome”.
First we learn that the Francis’ “axiom“, i.e. “Who am I to judge”, is neither comprehensive nor is it axiomatic. In other words, it is not a universal principle that is true always and everywhere and holds across all space and time. Here is the relevant quote: (emphasis added)
Then, having made it clear how he feels about Trump, the Pope tried to back down, saying that it was too early to pass judgement on Trump. “I think that we must wait and see. “I don’t like to anticipate events. Let us see what he does, we can’t be prophets of disasters.
Now if something is not universal, then by definition it has an incomplete, particular, specific or local property. In other words, this “Who am I to judge?” “axiom” is purely subjective and can be used at the discretion of the said individual.
Therefore, we than need to examine the words and actions of the said individual that is using this “axiom” to see whether this individual is morally or ethically fit to use it. The reason that we use a moral and/or ethical standard of measure in this case is that the “axiom” is moral/ethical by its very nature. But I digress…
And by examining the evidence as to the moral/ethical suitability of the said individual, we can state with a very, very high degree of certainty that the “axiom” expounded by Francis, bishop of Rome has very little moral/ethical value to it. This is due to the questionable moral authority of the source of the “axiom”.
On an aside, the picture above is a prime example of exactly this moral authority issue. (see here)
On another aside, impartial the boy is NOT!
Next piece of key information, we have Francis’ warning against the spread of “populism”. So here, let’s do a definition, this one from the Business Dictionary (see here):
Populism:
In general, ideology or political movement that mobilizes the population (often, but not always, the lower classes) against an institution or government, usually in the defense of the underdog or the wronged. Whether of left, right, or middle political persuasion, it seeks to unite the uncorrupt and the unsophisticated (the ‘little man’) against the corrupt dominant elites (usually the orthodox politicians) and their camp followers (usually the rich and the intellectuals). It is guided by the belief that political and social goals are best achieved by the direct actions of the masses. Although it comes into being where mainstream political institutions fail to deliver, there is no identifiable economic or social set of conditions that give rise to it, and it is not confined to any particular social class.
If we use the above framework to define what constitutes “populism”, we can make the following case:
Francis, the bishop of Rome, via his Junk Theology (“done on the knees”), read IDEOLOGY, is attempting to mobilize a segment of the population, commonly referred to as the “poor”, against an institution, in this case the Catholic Church, under the guise that the “poor” need defending and have been wronged. (see here)
Francis is trying to unite the “uncorrupted”, i.e. any and all leftists, whether social, economic and/or intrinsically disordered, against the “corrupt” dominant elites, in this case the “clericalists”, who are orthodox, and the orthodox “clericalist’s” camp followers. (see here)
The “corrupted” in our case are the Traditionalists, a.k.a Catholics, “c”onservatives, the neo-cons and the wider JPII the Great personality cultists which Francis calls “rigid”. (see here)
The main charge against the “clericalists” and the “rigid” is that they are Pharisees, an euphemism for “intellectual”. (see here)
Francis is guided by the belief that his political goals are best achieved by the direct action of the “uncorrupted” masses and to this end has given a series of directives, one of which is the “hagan lio” (make a mess) directive. (see here)
The Francis phenomenon has come into being due to the failure of the Vatican II sect to deliver the promised “new springtime of VII”, which in fact began the complete disintegration of the post-conciliar church. (see here)
The disintegration of the post-conciliar church is violating the 2nd Principle of the LEX ARMATICUS, a core principle that is the main driver of the populism, namely:
Even Neo-modernists (and the poor) need to eat.
Hmmm…
In statistical terms, the above is what would be called a “perfect fit”.
And lastly, Francis, the bishop of Rome made the following statement:
“Hitler didn’t steal the power,” the pope said “his people voted for him, and then he destroyed his people.” The Germans at that time also wanted to protect themselves with “walls and barbed wire so that others cannot take away their identity,” he said.
This is a very telling statement in that a person who likes to “hang out with” and provide moral support to… shall we say…. brutal leftist dictators responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens, such as the likes of Maduro of Venezuela and the Castro boys of Cuba- who turned their island into a penal colony, appears not to be too thrilled with the sovereign decision made by a population, a population that coincidentally lives in a country where the population has secured for itself the right of free elections and has a 200+ year tradition of a peaceful transition of power.
I wonder what Francis has in mind as the optimal alternative to “Trump Hitler didn’t steal the power” (…) “people voted for him”?
Going down that trail of though, I wonder if it is just this “optimal alternative” form of government that Francis has instituted behind the Sacred Vatican Walls. (see here) And the results are there for all who have eyes to see, and ears to hear.
Concluding, what we are a witness to is a supreme and absolute dictator monarch, who governs his city-state with a iron fist. He rules over his subjects by intimidation and through a network of cronies who spy and denounce anyone suspected of not toting the party line.
The ruling cabal has only one underlying shared purpose. That shared purpose is to hold the the IDEOLOGICAL party line, since that… in most, if not all cases, IDEOLOGY follows self-interest. And it is in the collective self interest of Francis, his revolutionary soviet lodged on the 4th Floor of the Domus Sanctae Marthae and other willing co-conspirators, to keep the status quo alive.
And that scope of the status quo that Francis and his co-conspirators are attempting to defend, appears not to be contained to their direct purview of control, but reaches into other areas of human activity in the wider Visibilium Omnium.
This being the case, one can infer that Francis and his co-conspirators consider the wider Visibilium Omnium as an integral part of their power base, and therefore see it as being of critical importance over which they need to maintain some form of control.
And this is most likely the reason behind Francis’ latest attack on the “rigid” Pharisees Trump administration, and attack launched on the second day of its existence, and two days before its first working day.
A preemptive strike if there ever was one!
Post scriptum: I am beginning to think that this is a instance of Francis using the State of Necessity. (see here)

Pride of our ‘talents’ may be a serious cause of blindness, or idolatry.

Hello, S.A.
I was unable to discern any suggestion in Pope Francis’ comments in regard to Hitler that linked them to President Trump.
If fact, Pope Francis’ has made it clear, today and once last year, that his approach to President Trump is wait-to-see.
Pope Francis’ very words contradicts the notion that he fears that President Trump is akin to Hitler.

Hi Mark:
To provide context, it is like my 6 year old and his friends at school started to call girls “bitches”. Once I instructed him that using that word was a sin, he started to use the term “itch – with a b”. When I told him that this could likewise be a sin, depending on his intent (the cogitatione part of the “cogitatione, verbo et opere”), he asked me how did I know that this was his intent. When I told him that I did not, and that only you and God know what you intended, he stopped using that word.
In the above example, one could say that my 6 year old was being “Jesuitical”.
Just like Francis.
With one small exception. My son stopped.

Kellyanne Conway is a daily communicant. Therefore, that gives me every trust that as she is a faithful Catholic, Kellyanne Conway submits to Pope Francis’ God-given authority to teach, govern, and sanctify the Holy People of God, to which Mrs. Conway belongs.
We know that God commands us to submit to Pope Francis, as he has been gifted by God to govern the One True Church. The True Church teaches that it’s a grave sin to separate from Pope Francis.
Therefore, by the fact that she assists at Mass, and, in union with the liturgical prayer for the Pope, she assents to the commemoration of Pope Francis as the orthodox chief shepherd of the True Church.
In turn, Kellyanne Conway, we have every reason to assume, accepts the Church’s teaching that she is to leaven the world via her acceptance of and spreading of the True Church’s teachings.
That means that it’s impermissible for a Catholic to dissent anytime, anywhere, at home, oh the job, in public…anywhere…against Church teaching. Therefore, we have good reason to believe that Kellyanne Conway, during her daily work with President Trump, is loyal to and exudes Jesus Christ’s spirit and teachings.
In that regard, we have every reason to believe that Kellyanne Conway, in all matters, imbues advice to President Trump that reflects Church teaching. Kellyanne Conway’s work is conducted in accord with Church principles.
Therefore, we must pray that via Kellyanne Conway’s good Catholic example, that President Trump will open his heart and mind to Holy Mother Church.
We must pray that President Trump acts in accord with Catholic principles.
We must pray that he recognizes that the Church’s Magisterium, which is exercised by Pope Francis and the bishops in communion with the Pope, and, which God wills man to obey, will offer to President Trump the Truth that is required to build a just social and economic system for America and beyond.
Perhaps Kellyanne Conway is the holy instrument through which Donald Trump not only recognizes the validity of Catholic teachings, but through which he and his family convert to the True Church, which Pope Francis governs, teaches, and sanctifies.
What a holy, beautiful, exciting, and hopeful thing that that would be for the Trump family, America, and the world…the Church! Wow!
Pax.

Logic by its very nature is pretty intense. What I would do is use sources like Wikipedia and a internet browser to find basic logic articles.
Once you get a hang of the rules, learn (memorize) the basic fallacies.
Then when you read a text, try and identify the fallacies. See how many you can spot.
After a while, you will get a whole new appreciation for what you reading since you will be reading it critically.
Oh an one big tip. Look for the “qualifiers” and the “conditionals” in the sentences that you read.
They tend to give the game away.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
……”We need to do penance and pray for President Trump”…… Pray for his conversion to the One True Faith – saving souls above all.
…..“He just could be about the best thing to happen to us since sliced bread”…..I am sorry, but I do not know, if I should laugh, or cry. I will offer a Rosary for both, you and Pres. Trump (by the way, I have offered a Holy Hour on the day of his inauguration).
It sounds as if you put too much trust in the princes of the world……and not enough trust in Him. Beware, give Pres. Trump some time, the chameleon has many colors, sooner or later they will come out. Pres. Trump is representing those who want above all, to create an earthly paradise (this is his achievement, for him and his. No, not treasures for Heaven)….but, that is what the fools are great at, in every age, they are building nothing but a Babel Tower…..while singing and dancing to the tune of “I DID IT MY WAY!’…..TRULY CLASSIC.

HI:
I put my Faith only in God.
Yet in order to be saved, we need not only Faith, but Works too.
This blog is a Work of Mercy that I have dedicated to Our Lady of Czestochowa. I use it to try and make sense of the times that we live in.
One of the things that I look at is what Francis would call “the periphery”. I call it marginal analysis. Sine I have economics background and since part of my regular job depends on recognizing objective reality and acting on it, I have learned to notice it across other areas of human activity.
One area that I notice changing on the margin is the election of President Trump. And that is why I am writing about it. I try to put it into a wider context, a context that allows my readers to understand what is taking place. Further, I use it to help and understand what can be ahead of us.
I have been pretty good up to now at calling what I think is reality and what the future might have in store for us.
And the reason is that these individual processes, i.e. the political processes, the scientific processes and the ecclesiastical processes are just part and parcel of a wider process.
And that wider process is nothing more than the restoration of all things in Christ.
I don’t know if it will happen now or next year or in the next century or in the next millennium. What I do know however is that it will happen.
Just as Our Lord promised, that the gates of hell shall not prevail.
Hope that clears up some of you observations.
God bless,
S.A.

It all began in the Garden of Eden. SIN is the cause of all the problems, and sufferings of the human race.
So it is now, SIN (the seed) with very deep roots, that have come to it’s fullness, was planted decades ago, by none other, but Peter, Thomas, Judas, the Pharisees, and the Herodians, willfully, or foolishly with our participation, for it is true that, All of us have dipped at least one finger in their ‘brew’, as a result we must walk the path (made exclusively for the repentant sinner), a path of thorns, thistles and withered branches. He showed us His Way (the only way) for His followers to follow…..The Royal Way of the Cross!…… without murmuring, for we (as Catholics), truly ought to be our brother’s keepers, in Faith, Hope and Charity!
To blame ALL on Pope Francis is truly diabolical, at its best, for he is an excellent pupil of his predecessors. God Knows, Thanks Be To God! !
Discern the signs of ‘times’, but let us not sin, lest we’ll become a prey of the ‘prince of the world.’

“One should NEVER attack a priest, even when he’s in error. Rather, one should pray and do penance that I’ll grant him My grace again. He alone fully represents Me, even when he doesn’t live after My example! When a priest (Pope) falls, we should extend him a helping hand THROUGH PRAYER AND NOT THROUGH ATTACKS! I MYSELF WILL BE HIS JUDGE, NO ONE BUT I!!! Whoever voices judgment over a priest (Pope) has voiced it over Me; child, never let a priest be attacked; take up his defense. NEVER again accept an out-of-the way word about a priest (Pope), and speak no unkind word (about them) EVEN IF IT WERE TRUE! Ever priest is My Vicar (Pope the Vicar of Christ on earth) and My Heart will be sickened and insulted because of it! If you hear a judgment against priest (especially Pope) pray a Hail Mary.” (June 28, 1939).
