Highways to hell paved with papal blessings.
A recent online debate between Eastern Orthodox podcaster Jay Dyer and Catholic apologist Timothy Gordon focused on the roots of papal authority, as in: What did Jesus really mean when He said, “Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build My Church?”
Pundits gave the debate win to Gordon mostly because he put Dyer on the defensive. Other Catholic apologists praised Gordon’s performance, after which they bemoaned the state of Peter’s Church: its wrecked, Protestant-style liturgy; its globalist Francis 2.0 new pope (Leo), and its gradual descent into LGBTQ rainbow land.
Ironically, while none of the apostasy-like aberrations listed above are happening with any real force in the Orthodox Church, no mention was made during the Dyer-Gordon debate of the countless Catholics who have gone over to Orthodoxy because of the corruption of the Catholic Mass versus the ancient unchanging liturgy of the East.
Indeed, why would any serious Orthodox Christian trade the liturgy of St. John Chrysostom for the bland Novus Ordo Mass, in which women in yoga pants distribute communion?
In an interview with Art Bell before his death in 1999, author Malachi Martin stated that Christ had withdrawn His grace from the Roman Church because of the liturgical and theological abuses that arose from Vatican II.
Since Vatican II’s suppression of many Catholic traditions, apologists like Timothy Gordon spend 99% of their time bemoaning the dismantling of authentic Catholicism.
They bemoan altar girls while nearly every Catholic parish in the U.S. utilizes them. They criticize communion-in-hand which has now become the Catholic norm. They decry newer and bolder forms of liturgical abuse, such as when priests and bishops defy Rome and concelebrate with Anglican priestesses.
Such an event occurred on August 26 when a retired Mexican bishop concelebrated the Mass with an Anglican priestess at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
Bishop Emeritus Raul Vera Lopez presided at the Mass with the Rev. Emilie Teresa Smith. The Anglican priestess wore a simple stole, but she was a full participant, even participating in the words of Consecration.
The bishop defended his actions with the following statement: “Not only does she [Rev. Smith] work with the poor, she has a parish, has a theological background, she is a writer, she is ready to participate in a meeting of the United Nations and with God’s people around the defence of our Mother Earth.”
This, in a nutshell, describes the Church of Leo XIV.
Leo XIV allows bishops like Lopez to do what they want while simultaneously ignoring the pleas of Latin Mass communities all over the world for greater freedom in accessing the traditional Mass.
A kind of mafia-like aura has surrounded the papacy since the close of Vatican II. At the top of the “mafia’s” list is the canonization of every pope since 1965. This is their way of legitimatizing and “sanctifying” Vatican II. While Pope John Paul I’s cause for sainthood is already gaining traction, how many months will it be before that most anti-Catholic of all modern popes, Francis, is declared a saint? Not long. --->READ MORE HERE
