How
To Relate With the Present ‘Bishop of Rome’
The
Great Hidden Attack Against Christ Truth
There
is a great battle going on for the Truth! Jesus Christ is the Truth
(Jn 14:6)! The Truth of God “will make
you free!” (Jn 8:32; Jer 6:16), now and for all eternity! The false
truth of Satan, “the father of lies” (Jn 8:44) will offer us some
pleasure now, without the cross of Christ, but there will be slavery
afterwards and for all eternity. There is great pressure on everyone
today to be “politically correct”, even, and especially, in the
Catholic Church. No group or ecclesial
movement will be exempt from the purification in this period of the
“great tribulation” (Mt 24:21), not even the Marian Movement of
Priests!
Father
Ivan Pojavnik is a professor emeritus of theology at the faculty of
Ljubljana-Slovenia. He has published various theological studies on
the Second Vatican Council and on the Church. Recently, with the
crisis in the Marian Movement of Priests, Father Quartilio Gabrielli
asked Father Ivan Pojavnik to offer his insights and guidance
regarding how the Movement should relate with the present "Bishop
of Rome".
The
following is the last part of “Ready
To Die For Christ Truth”:
-

The
charism of petrina infallibility.
1. "For the holy Spirit was promised to the
successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make
known some new doctrine,
but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard and
faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by
the apostles (traditam per apostolos rivelationem)" (Vatican
Council I, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, IV). The
Magisterium of the Church "is not
above the word of God, but serves it,
teaching only what has been handed on (docens nonnisi quod traditum
est)" (Vatican Council II, DV 10.2).
The exercise of the charism of the infallibility
of Peter's successors is tied to the fulfillment of the conditions
expressed in these passages of the two Vatican Councils. They must
teach "only what is transmitted", that is, the divine and
human Apostolic Tradition, whose source is in the Holy Spirit, the
historical God-Man and at the same time the God-Man glorified in
Heaven. If a Pope does not fulfill these conditions, he falls in
error, as has happened several times in history.
The charism of a total and unconditional
infallibility does not exist. Already the apostle Peter fell into an
erroneous conception and ambiguous public act in the Christian
community of Antioch, and was publicly corrected by the Apostle Paul
(cf. Gal 2:11-16). The public correction was an act of truth and
supernatural charity from Paul, derived from the Divine Heart of
Christ. The first pope immediately accepted the public correction:
"Being the first in the apostolic hierarchy, he was first also
in humility" (St. Gregory the Great). This shows that the
charism of supernatural humility is
greater and more important than that of
infallibility.
2. Unfortunately, there are numerous ambiguities
and mistakes in Pope Francis's sermons at Santa Marta, as noted by
some attentive observers over time. The most problematic thing is his
exhortation "Amoris laetitia", which contains some serious
ambiguities and errors, as is shown by a systematic comparison with
the doctrine of Sacred Scripture, of some Ecumenical Councils
(especially that of Trent), of Peter's successors from Leo XIII to
Benedict XVI and of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is a
"special gift of the Immaculate
Heart of Mary for these times ... and as it were shining last
testament of Pope John Paul II” (cf.
M. 01-01-1993).
The most serious problem is the teaching of
Chapter VIII of the Exhortation. All of Peter's followers up to
Benedict XVI have taught the same doctrine about the sacraments of
marriage and penance, on the reception of the Most Holy Eucharist by
Christians in the state of mortal sin, and the universal moral law
(Decalogue). It is the doctrine of the Apostolic Tradition. Now in
Chapter VIII next to the perpetual doctrine of the Church, there is
also a new doctrine which contradicts, and this
constitutes its fundamental ambiguity.
Here
we are facing a decisive choice
between two parts that are in contradiction: is it infallible the
doctrine of all of Peter's successors before Pope Francis or his
doctrine in Chapter VIII? If the doctrine of the second part is
infallibly true, then that of the first part is infallibly untrue,
that is, erroneous. Is this not a fracture with the Apostolic
Tradition and with this, with the teaching of the Incarnate Logos of
God that is divine, infallible, universal, and immutable?
In
fact, two contradictory interpretations of Chapter VIII are spread at
all levels of the Church. The interpretation that breaks the bond
with the Apostolic Tradition undermines the three above-mentioned
sacraments. In addition, it replaces the universal moral law
(Decalogue) with the erroneous ethics of the situation (“situation
ethics”): in particular, this is in flagrant contradiction with the
teaching of the encyclical "Veritatis splendor" (1993) by
John Paul II and of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Many
Bishop’s Conferences and many Bishops have already issued new
pastoral guidelines that accept this fracture, they allow a grave
abuse of the three sacraments, and push - in the name of mercy –
civilly divorced people "remarried" to
eternal damnation. Part of the Church
is moving to Protestantism, and a huge crowd progresses headlong
toward the infernal abyss.
"Man, in fact, obeys his ultimate purpose -
which is God - by virtue of an absolute and necessary law (= moral
law) founded on the infinite perfection of the same divine nature, in
such a manner that not even God could
exempt someone from observing it. With
this eternal and immutable law it is established that man and all his
actions must manifest, in praise and glory of the Creator, the
infinite perfection of God, and must imitate it as much as possible"
(Pius XII, encyclical Musicae sacrae,
1955; cf. John Paul II, encyclical Veritatis
splendor, No. 91-92).
3.
The second commitment of the M.M.P. remains: the fidelity to Peter's
successor who "only teaches what has been transmitted by the
apostles". In the teaching of Pope Francis, I accept the true
part and I do not accept the ambiguities and the errors, for he "is
not above the word of God," and I want to remain completely
faithful to Christ-Truth.
Not understanding well some of Our Lady's messages
and ignoring other uncomfortable ones, Fr. Larroque's circular letter
defends a total and unconditional infallibility of Pope Francis. With
this great mistake he has confirmed those members of the Movement who
sleep as naive children in Gethsemane at this hour of the Church’s
agony, and he has put to sleep many others. In addition, by virtue of
its ambiguity, the circular letter has led a number of members away
from the Movement of Our Lady to another movement.
4. "The Dragon
is exulting at the vastness of his conquest, with the help of the
Black Beast and the beast like a lamb”
(cf M. 09-15-1989; M. 08-15-1989). By way of the meta-temptation of
pride Satan has plunged mankind into the deepest abyss of atheism and
has provoked a great apostasy from the faith in Christ. By forming in
an occult and systematic manner a false Christ and a false Church,
the beast, similar to a lamb, is taking possession of the Church (cf.
M. 06-13-1989, M. 06-17-1989). This process advances very quickly to
the culmination without a lot of people noticing it, unfortunately
also many members of the Movement. Don Stefano said, "We
must be intelligent children, that is, children with open eyes, and
not stupid children, that is, with eyes closed."
Note well.: One should tremble in the face of the
powerful and subtle pitfalls of the meta-temptation, with which Satan
unleashes against us, which we are his first targets, because we
belong to the Queen of victories. The Celestial Leader warns us:
"Satan bites furiously at my heel" (M. 08-13-1975; cf. M.
06-28-1989). If the charisma of humility melts in the inebriating
liquor of omniscient pride, then the three theological virtues and
other charisms are emptied within a Christian. One should tremble
before Satan's daily bites, with which he tries to inject us, drop by
drop, especially his inebriating liqueur, first to get us into
confusion and then to disperse us. Finally, one should shudder, since
Leviathan strongly seduces us with a false
security, as he already did with the
apostles before the passion of Jesus, who had underestimated his
predictions and the depth of the mystery of iniquity. "Satan
ensnares you by causing you to feel like adults, sure of yourselves,
and by causing you to set the basis of your security in your own
selves, in your own ideas, in your own actions”
(M. 07-08-1977).
5. "We further
promise you the greatest loyalty to the Gospel, of which we shall
always be genuine and courageous heralds, even, if necessary, to the
shedding of our blood" (Act of
Consecration). That is why I will never accept a break with the
Apostolic Tradition, because I would depart from the Apostolic
Church, indeed I would no longer be faithful to the Gospel and
therefore to Christ Himself.
"True
poverty of spirit is the gift I make to him whom I call. It is
emptiness which draws my love. It is the wavelength on which my voice
can be heard and understood" (M.
12-31-1976). The Poetess of the Magnificat sings in many messages an
incomparable hymn to the virtue of humility. Only if we are truly
poor in spirit we can hear and understand her Voice: She tells us in
several messages that we are today in the concluding phase of the
apocalyptic battle. For this battle, the heavenly Leader has formed
Her cohort by conducting it, through the lived consecration to her
Immaculate Heart, to the victorious high mountain of Christ Crucified
and Risen. But only those mountainers, who have reached levels far
superior to the mediocre life, clearly observe in the divine light
the global battlefield and recognize the moves of the cohort of the
Adversary. These heroic climbers are "strong
proclaimers of all the truths of the Catholic faith, as you set
yourself in opposition, with strength and courage, to all errors”
(cf. M. 06-13-1989).
As
prophetically predicted by Don Stefano in the meditation on Gideon's
battle against the Madianites, only a remnant of the Movement will be
ready for the heroic climb of Calvary up to the end, but with this
remnant Our Lady will obtain her triumph. In
this horizon of the paschal mystery of Christ and of His Mother,
actualized today (many messages explain this), Father Quartilio put
at the end of the two letters seven important questions.
