Bergoglio's puppy Cocco, can't even show up at his own heretical book launch presser? DUBIA MUST BE ANSWERED BY BERGOGLIO!

Using an excuse about a "diary clash," Berogoglio lapdog Coccopalmerio, an alleged Cardinal and Prince of the Holy Roman Church, has skipped out on his presser to reveal his book.

The book, allegedly the answer to the Dubia of Father Bergoglio from the four Cardinals, and I dare say, millions of faithful, is not an acceptable answer from the Bishop of Rome. 


Excerpts from the book clearly reveal that the provision of Holy Communion and Penance for unrepentant adulterers is to be the norm. 
“The divorced and remarried, de facto couples, those cohabitating, are certainly not models of unions in sync with Catholic Doctrine, but the Church cannot look the other way. Therefore, the sacraments of Reconciliation and Communion should be given even to those so-called wounded families and to however many who, despite living in situations not in line with traditional matrimonial canons, express the sincere desire to approach the sacraments after an appropriate period of discernment.”
Nothing is said about sodomites, child rapists, pornography aficionados are priests who bugger little boys, but if it's okay to receive Holy Communion after you've fornicated with whores against your wife, or rakes against your husband, why not those priests who use their power to bugger, fellate, felch and gerbil little boys?

How about to murderers or embezzlers? Maybe extortionists and slave traders? You see, where does it end? Either it is mortal sin or it isn't?

Oh, I just couldn't help myself!

Coccopalmerio is a filthy heretic. A heresiarch that should be pummeled with the Catechism and sent off to a monastery and he can take along the Bishop of Rome with him.

Sorry for the bluntness but the reality is sometimes necessary.

How proud is this peacock, eh?

Thanks Papa Ratzinger. Another sound decision on your part.

Coccopalmerio is a flaming heretic.

So is his Bergoglio.

More to come ...

Did Pope Peron demand the minions blood oath?

Have you ever heard of anything so strange? A Pope's special little group of advisers, in this case ten cardinals, make public the fact that they pledged to him their "full support."

http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/commentandblogs/2017/02/13/the-popes-council-have-given-him-their-full-support-translation-trouble-is-brewing/

Well, it is clearly obvious. 


Bergoglio, who is in all likelihood a manifest heretic, is feeling the heat.

Good.

Better that he feels the heat from us and wakes up to his heresy, than he feel it in Hell for all eternity.


Jorge Bergoglio, repent of your heresy.

Repent of your insults to the faithful.

More Bergoglian hypocrisy.  Vatican Radio reports that the Pope has written a preface to a book written by a victim of sexual abuse by a pervert priest, a homosexual.

The facts are nearly all cases of pervert attacks by priests have been on post-pubescent boys between 11 and 17, not little children and not girls, thus proving that the problem is one of admitting to and covering up of sodomites -- homosexuals into the priesthood. Now sodomite should ever be ordained, those that are now priests, should be under strict observation or removed from active ministry. (Yes, this means you dear friend, and you friend, and the other one). 

OUT!

Back to the Pope. This is rich, eh? 

That a Pope who collaborated with the pervert protecting heresiarch Danneels would do this.

Or the cover up in Argentina.

Or the Pope who would appoint as Ordinary a man who allegedly witnessed a rape in Chile.

Or who would discount the pervert priest elevator crime in with a rent boy in Ecuador.

Image result for pope francis kisses hand of priestAnd who now wants to take the investigative action into these perverts away from the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith and return it to the Congregation of Clergy where it can be covered up, all over again.

There is so much more.

So, who am I too judge?

A man who has no toleration for perversion against children. Something one wishes Bergoglio was man enough to do the same.

"It is more likely than not that he (Pope Francis) is in fact a formal heretic."

Dr. John R. T. Lamont is a Canadian Catholic philosopher and theologian. He studied philosophy and theology at the Dominican College in Ottawa and at Oxford University, and has taught philosophy and theology in Catholic universities and seminaries. He is the author of Divine Faith (Ashgate, 2004), and of a number of academic papers; his academic website is at https://acu-au.academia.edu/JohnLamont.

"In the light of the fact that Pope Francis has openly endorsed heretical understandings of Amoris laetitia in his letter to the bishops of the Buenos Aires region of Sept. 5th 2016, it is more likely than not that he is in fact a formal heretic." Dr. John R. T. Lamont 

Our fellow blogger at Mahound's paradise writes:

"As Why then have so few cardinals and bishops publicly lined up with the four "dubia cardinals" on this? Lamont argues that much of the reason stems from an absolutist understanding of "obedience," with roots in the philosophy of St. Ignatius Loyola and other 16th and 17th century Jesuits. But this understanding is erroneous and dangerous:"

To which, we continue from Dr. Lamont:

"The question of how anyone, even a cardinal, can correct the Pope is an important one. It is a basic principle of the divinely established constitution of the Church that the Pope judges all other Catholics on earth and is judged by none of them. But this constitution does not establish the Pope as an autocrat with tyrannical authority, who is answerable to no-one. The Pope's authority is a legal one, and as with all legal authority it involves duties to his subjects as well as rights over them. The duty to confess the Catholic faith is a fundamental duty of the papal office. His subjects may thus formally request and even require him to carry out this duty. The right to make such a formal request belongs to any Catholic, but the cardinals, whose office is to advise the Pope, have a strict duty as well as a right to make this request. The cardinals who have failed to do this are guilty of a grave dereliction of duty. This failure is a catastrophe that threatens to lead to the disintegration of most of the Church."

It is becoming clearer now to even pew sitting Catholics, that something is clearly wrong.  

My hunch is that open war is only days away, and that will come with the now expected answer to the dubia from a Cardinal, answers that will be unacceptable, as they will enshrine sacrilege and heresy.



But remember what our good friend Tom Rosica opined:

"Will this Pope re-write controversial Church doctrines? No. But that isn't how doctrine changes. Doctrine changes when pastoral contexts shift and new insights emerge such that particularly doctrinal formulations no longer mediate the saving message of God's transforming love. Doctrine changes when the Church has leaders and teachers who are not afraid to take note of new contexts and emerging insights. It changes when the Church has pastors who do what Francis has been insisting: leave the securities of your chanceries, of your rectories, of your safe places, of your episcopal residences go set aside the small minded rules that often keep you locked up and shielded from the world."

They are doing it. It is up to the rest of us,with the Lord's help, to stop them.

Bergoglio opens his mouth at The Angelus and convicts himself of hypocrisy

Gosh, I leave the house for Church and I come home and look what I find.  
Adultery was considered a violation of a man’s property right over [his] woman. 
Did you know that adultery is considered, "a violation of  man's property rights over his woman?" Can a man not commit adultery? Did God not declare Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery because it violated His Law and our well-being? What kind of heretical bile is this coming from the mouth of a Pope or any Christian!

He then warns everyone not to insult.
“Insulting: we are used to insulting, it is like saying, ‘Good morning.’ And that is on the same line as killing. Anyone who insults his brother kills his brother in his heart. Please, do not insult!
To which we can add, "Physician, heal thyself."

And speaking of "Let your yes be yes and your no be no" and that "anything more is from the evil one," how's that dubia answer coming along?

What a "fomenter of coprophagia" and "self-absorbed, Promethean, neo-Pelagian," a true "rigid," "rosary counter."

Someone get a straight jacket.

(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis prayed the Angelus with pilgrims and tourists gathered in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday. In remarks ahead of the traditional prayer of Marian devotion, the Holy Father offered a meditation on the Gospel reading for this Sunday, taken from the 5th chapter of Gospel according to St. Matthew, in which Our Lord says:

Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.

Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven. I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Reflecting on the passage, Pope Francis said:

Today's liturgy presents us with another page of the Sermon on the Mount, which we find in the Gospel of Matthew (cf. 5:17-37). In this passage, Jesus wants to help his listeners to achieve a reinterpretation of the Mosaic law. What was said in the Old Covenant was true, but it was not all: Jesus came to fulfill and to enact definitively the law of God, down to the last iota (cf. Mt. 5:18). He manifests the Law’s original purposes and He fulfills its authentic aspects – and He does all this by His preaching and even more by offering Himself on the Cross. So, Jesus teaches how to do the will of God fully – and  He uses this expression: with a “justice superior” to that of the scribes and Pharisees (cf. Mt. 5: 20) – a justice animated  by love, charity, mercy, and therefore capable of realizing the substance of the commandments, avoiding the risk of formalism.

“Formalism,” continued Pope Francis, departing from his prepared text. “This I can do, that I cannot: up to here I can, up to here, I cannot.”

“No,” said Pope Francis, “more, more.”

The second moment of Pope Francis’ reflection concerned the second part of the Gospel reading – again from the 5th Chapter of St. Matthew’s Gospel, in which Jesus says to His disciples:

You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raqa,’ will be answerable to the Sanhedrin; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.

You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body go into Gehenna.

It was also said, Whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife -  unless the marriage is unlawful - causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Again you have heard that it was said to your ancestors, Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow. But I say to you, do not swear at all; not by heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black. Let your 'Yes' mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil one.

Pope Francis continued his reflection, saying:

In particular, in [this Sunday’s] Gospel, Jesus examines three aspects, three commandments: murder, adultery and oath-swearing.

With regard to the commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” He affirms that it is violated not only by actual homicide, but also by those behaviors, which offend the dignity of the human person, including insulting words (cf. Mt. 5:22). Certainly, these injurious words do not have the same gravity and sinfulness of killing, but they are placed on the same line, because they are the premises of the more serious acts and they reveal the same malevolence. Jesus invites us not to establish a schedule [It. graduatoria] of offenses, but to consider them all harmful, insofar as they are all moved by the intention to do harm to one’s neighbor.

“Jesus gives the example,” Pope Francis went on to say, once again departing from his prepared text. “Insulting: we are used to insulting, it is like saying, ‘Good morning.’ And that is on the same line as killing. Anyone who insults his brother kills his brother in his heart. Please, do not insult! We earn nothing by doing so.” Pope Francis then returned to his prepared text, and continued with his reflection:

Another fulfillment is made to marriage law. Adultery was considered a violation of a man’s property right over [his] woman. Jesus, however, goes to the root of the evil. Just as one comes to murder through injuries, offenses, and insults, so one comes to adultery through intentions of possession with respect to a woman other than one’s wife.

Adultery, like theft, corruption and all other sins, are first conceived in our hearts and, once the wrong choice is made in the heart, they are actuated in concrete behavior. And Jesus says:

Again departing from his prepared text, Pope Francis continued, “He who looks with a possessing spirit at a woman who is not his own is an adulterer in his heart, he has begun to go down the road to adultery. Let us think a little on this: on the bad thoughts that are in this line.”

The Holy Father then turned his attention to the swearing of oaths:

Jesus then tells his disciples not to swear oaths, because the oath is a sign of insecurity and duplicity with which human relations are conducted. Oath-swearing exploits the authority of God to give assurance to our human affairs. Rather we are called to establish among ourselves, in our families and in our communities, a climate of clarity and mutual trust, so that we can be considered honest without resorting to higher interventions in order to be believed. Mistrust and mutual suspicion always threaten serenity!

Before leading the faithful in the Angelus, Pope Francis prayed that Our Lady – a woman of docile listening and obedience – might help us all to pause and spend more time with the Gospel, that we might be Christians not merely in appearance but in substance. “This,” said Francis, “is possible with the grace of the Holy Spirit, who permits us to do everything with love, and so to fulfill the will of God.”


Is Bergoglio about to change the Mass thereby rendering it, "invalid?" Our penance has begun!

Today the "gesimas" begin and this is Septuagesima Sunday or in the privileged Anglican Catholic Ordinariate, the Third Sunday before Lent. The rest of you, sadly, get to suffer in banality in the deserted wasteland of the Novus Ordo. In the ridiculously named "Ordinary Time" for what was, the Time After Epiphany, it is some ordinary numbered Sunday where you will probably be told that "Lent is coming soon, it is time to prepare," because that is what the notes in the Ordo tell the priest to begin to do. How silly, how utterly banal that a practice stretching back to the earliest times should be stripped away from the liturgical year without even a logical reason. Just another way to debase our work for the glory of God and preparation for ourselves. The colour is now violet, the Gloria is gone, the Alleluia is now removed from the liturgies not to return until the Paschal Vigil. It is "pre-Lent," which the reformers abhorred, a time to prepare. 

Septuagesima from the Liturgical Year by Dom Gueranger

Septuagesima Overview including a Reading by Dom Gueranger

Lest the title of this post confuse you, be confused no more. But prepare. Prepare for the Cross which you, dear Catholic, are about to be nailed to. Carry it and use it to strengthen yourself for the fight of our life that is to come sooner than you think. Gosh, how incredible that we get to live this. We were born for this!

We heard a few weeks ago that Bergoglio had ordered a review of Liturgiam Authenticum. 

First, a little background is in order. Liturgiam Authenticum was an order of Pope John Paul II and concerned the translations of the Mass and Liturgy of the Hours, Book of Blessings, Ceremonials, and so on from their original Latin to the vulgar languages. Note here, that we are speaking of the books and liturgy which have been forced upon the people of  God since 1969 and what we call here, the Nervous Disorder, or as Marcel Lefebvre termed it, the "bastard rite."

When the Roman Rite Mass was translated in Missals and for use in 1965, the translations were literal and poetic. The 1969 Missal was translated using the practice of "dynamic equivalence," in other words, it was not necessarily a translation, but a trans-literation. It also was done for diabolical and political reasons, hence, "pro multis" in the Latin Missal of Paul VI was translated as "for all" when it truly means, "for many." The readers here are familiar with the rest of that story and the changes brought in 2011 which we do not need to expand on further here.

Bergoglio purged the Congregation of Divine Worship a few months ago, leaving Cardinal Sarah now, nothing more than a figurehead. It was not long after that news came the news on his demand to review Liturgiam Authenticum which so far, has only been implemented in the English speaking world. 

Of course, the solution, as I have said before, is for you to abandon the distorted Novus Ordo and get back to the proper offering of Holy Mass in the traditional Rite, or go Byzantine, not even Maronite as they have now entrenched the nervously disordered mentality in to their once venerable rite.

Now when the story appeared on this matter, I wrote a post called, "Get out of the Novus Ordo - Bastard Rite II is about to be pushed on you!" 

I will post again this extract from Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich about the Mass of the future. Then, you can read a blog post from a priest in Rome.

If you feel like vomiting afterwards, it's okay. This is all good and necessary, because these rotten, filthy, evil, effeminate clericalists will have declared themselves to be the heretics and devils that the are. And recall that the fish rots from the head first!


“I saw that many of the instruments in the new Church, such as spears and darts, were meant to be used against the living Church. Everyone dragged in something different: clubs, rods, pumps, cudgels, puppets, mirrors, trumpets, horns bellows – all sorts of things. In the cave below (the sacristy) some people kneaded bread, but nothing came of it; it would not rise. The men in the little mantles brought wood to the steps of the pulpit to make a fire. They puffed and blew and laboured hard, but the fire would not burn. All they produced was smoke and fumes. Then they broke a hole in the roof and ran up a pipe, but the smoke would not rise, and the whole place became black and suffocating. Some blew the horns so violently that the tears streamed from their eyes. All in this church belonged to the earth, returned to the earth. All was dead, the work of human skill, a church of the latest style, a church of man’s invention like the new heterodox church in Rome.” Blessed Anne Katherine Emmerich




"Drafts from Santa Marta on intercommunion"
by: Fra Cristoforo

The chronicles of Santa Marta never end. Here is a statement that is nothing short of grotesque.

[Meanwhile], today Bergoglio received an "Ecumenical" delegation of the German Evangelical Church .. read here: http://ilsismografo.blogspot.it/2017/02/vaticano-udienza-di-papa-francesco-allahtml.

Apart from the usual syrupy speeches, there was the usual "beatification" of Luther and his reform..and bla bla bla. But there's more. And I confide this to you in a "secure" way. [Meanwhile] the news that the Bishop of Rome has given directions for a change to the "Eucharistic Liturgy" is already circulating. He gave some leads, which then will pass his scrutiny, in order to - in a nutshell - change the rite of Holy Mass.

I quote only one article on this, but the net is full of sources.


My confidential source from Santa Marta, reporting to me some discussions that he heard between one lunch and another, told me that in fact the change to the Mass, wanted by Bergoglio, has ONLY ONE END: AN ECUMENICAL END. That is, to "create" a Mass that will not be in opposition to the Protestants and therefore be a liturgy that can be celebrated "in communion".

And this is the truth. And this is his intention. A perennial liturgy that, however, would be ecumenical. Obviously I predict that in order to do this, Bergoglio will also have change the text of the "Consecration". This would make the Mass invalid. And I also predict that those who will refuse to celebrate this "new rite" will be considered out of the Church. These times are coming: let's face it. The Bishop of Rome wants to become "el presidente" of the various denominations; and to do this he is selling Jesus Christ at a price much lower than Judas did.

As for me, since I am a priest, I will refuse to celebrate this type of liturgy. And I tell you that we will return to being Christians in the "catacombs." The intent of Bergoglio is, then, to arrive at this: to "modify" in order to "unite." Even today, in the speech to those Lutherans, he has already mentioned that the liturgical division between Catholics and Protestants hurts especially mixed "couples" [ie mixed marriages].


So apparently he also wants to speed things up.

My "source" from Santa Marta tells me that is almost done: only a matter of time. Mala tempora currunt. (Latin for "bad times are upon us").

I suggest to all readers to pray to the Madonna with many Rosaries - not to ward off (push away) these times,  because these times are here - but so that she may help you to keep the Faith. "And to persevere in time of persecution. That time will come soon".


Brother Cristoforo


These Roman rumours tend to have a habit of coming true. It is time to add using real math, not that of Spadaro. All that this Pope and his minions have done and said is leading to this. The man refuses to genuflect at Mass but grovels to wash feet. He praises Lutherans but insults the faithful Catholic.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Has the correction of Bergoglio been done? Does Bergoglio intend to change the Mass - Roman Rumours!

Keeping this short.

1. Consistent reports are coming that the four Cardinals have met with and issued their correction to the Bishop of Rome. If he does not respond, they will go public.

2. It is also rumored that Cardinal Muller has resigned from the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith.

On the Mass, it looks as if my recent theory is now also rumoured in Rome. More soon.


  1. Also hearing persistent rumours that Card. Muller has resigned from CDF & Card. Burke has been cancelling engagements. No confirmation
  2. Strong & persistent rumours from Rome that the 4 cardinals have privately corrected the Pope - if he doesn't respond, they'll go public

Vagina Hat wearing priest, William R. Lugger, praises racist eugenicist Margaret Sanger


William R. Lugger, the parish priest of St. Casimir's in the Diocese of Lansing, in Michigan, is at it again. The so-called, priest, who mistook a pussy hat for a biretta during Mass, has now praised on his Facebook, Margaret Sanger, the racist, eugenicist, murderous founder of Planned Parenthood, the world's largest provider of abortion. 

In addition to Sanger, one finds a prominent pro-abortion American Senator and radical abortion and anti-Catholic Supreme Court Judge.

Mahound's Paradise has the story.

A quick peruse around this pathetic man's Facebook page reveals that he spends too much time in silly games and posts and not enough praying his Office, hearing Confessions or feeding the poor.



William R. Lugger should never been ordained. He is a diabolical narcissist and a man in the service of Satan, not Jesus Christ.

Enough of these effeminate, filthy priests.

"He has answered!" L'Osservatore Romano "fake news" piece takes direct aim at Bergoglio

Image result for pope posters romeThe Romans are angry.

Less than a week after a poster appeared in hundreds of location throughout Rome, only to be declared illegal by municipal officials who are on a top level search for the culprit, a spoof of the Vatican's own newspaper has been sent throughout the Vatican.

How sad does this make each and every one of us as Catholics. How said is this writer that day be day it becomes even more necessary to report on the outrageous words and actions of this so-called "Holy Father." Bishop of Rome, to be sure, but a Holy Father he is not. How harsh and rigid and judgemental to write such a thing. How true it is when we are daily assaulted from a man who has become and egoist, a megalomaniac, a dictator, an abusive father, a bully.

He is reaping what he has sown.

Father Bergoglio, repent of your errors in Amoris Laetitia, your heresy. Repent of your insults to faithful Catholics, Repent and save your soul.

Time marches on for you too.





ROME- Barely a week after Rome woke up full of anti- Pope Francis posters, anonymous critics were back at it, sending a fake version of the Vatican’s official newspaper to cardinals and officials via email, claiming that the pontiff had answered five dubia, or questions, posed to him by four conservative cardinals about his document Amoris Laetita.
“He has answered!” reads the cover of the satirical edition of L’Osservatore Romano (LOR), the Vatican’s newspaper, which carries the date of Jan. 17.


Let's go give the declining Crux some hits and see the rest there:

Bergoglio is at peace with Vatican corruption but worries over young and traditional vocations

You can read it all here. More insults, more degradation to those following a "rigid" life.

Washington Post publishes a screed calling upon Francis to rid the Church of Cardinal Burke and other "enablers of neo-facisim"

Image result for cardinal burke

A disgusting anti-Catholic and Marxist screed.

I highly doubt that this arrogant, so-called, journalist, would write such a critical piece on Islam. 

What is happening here is a realization that Francis is in jeopardy, a jeopardy of his own making. There is going to be a massive schism and it will be caused by Francis. This article is a plant and part of a wider plan to defend Bergoglio from the outcry of faithful Catholics.

This woman is using Alinsky tactics to target and assassinate Cardinal Burke, if she could do so literally, I have no doubt that she would. The evil that flows from the keyboard of this Symons and the recent piece in the New York Times is so obvious to see. 

They will all come crashing down and will fall like snowflakes in to Hell.

May Our Blessed LORD continue to guide Cardinal Burke and may St. Michael protect him from these enemies. Amen.

Her work has been published in Foreign Policy, Women in the World in association with the New York Times, Quartz, the Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal and the Australian Financial Review.

Pope Francis needs to take tougher action against the United States’ most influential Catholic in Rome, Cardinal Raymond “Breitbart” Burke. The renegade cleric is not only undermining Francis’s reformist, compassionate papacy, and gospel teaching as it applies to refugees and Muslims, but the rebel prince of the church is also using his position within the walls of the Vatican to legitimize extremist forces that want to bring down Western liberal democracy, Stephen K. Bannon-style. Simply put, the Vatican is facing a political war between the modernizing Pope Francis and a conservative wing that wants to reassert white Christian dominance.

Burke was reduced to a ceremonial patron role at the Knights of Malta after a power struggle at the ancient chivalric order, won by the pope last month, following a spat over its humanitarian wing’s alleged distribution of condoms. Losing the leadership battle and prestige at the secretive society headquartered in Rome — Francis is appointing his own special delegate above Burke — was seen as a papal rap on the knuckles for the cardinal leading the charge against Francis’s writings on communion for divorcees.  But the virulently anti-Islam (“capitulating to Islam would be the death of Christianity”), migrant-phobic,  Donald Trump-defending, Vladimir Putin-excusing Burke is unrepentant and even defiant, continuing to preside over a far-right, neo-fascist-normalizing cheer squad out of the Holy See.

This Vatican operation, called Dignitatis Humanae, or the Institute for Human Dignity, whose advisory board includes two of the four cardinals openly challenging Francis on marriage and sexuality, is slavishly promoting Burke’s favorite American white Catholic nationalist, Bannon, with star billing on its home page. The institute’s top office-bearers, Burke and his henchman, the media-savvy Breitbart contributor Benjamin Harnwell, are also encouraging Benito Mussolini fan Matteo Salvini, of Italy’s Northern League, and Muslim-baiting far-right Catholic poster girl Marion Le Pen, the National Front “rising star” niece of party leader Marine Le Pen in France.

As the Italian press first revealed, Burke held a long meeting last week at his Vatican home with Salvini, a fierce critic of the pope who wants to push refugees back into the sea and close all mosques in Italy. It was a flagrant political intervention on the side of the extreme-right racist grouping ahead of the Italian elections. Mysterious posters also appeared around the Vatican decrying a sinister-looking pope’s “decapitation” of the Malta Knights order.

The situation facing the Catholic Church raises alarming parallels with the ideological warfare that split the Vatican in the 1930s when ethnic nationalism was sweeping Europe under Mussolini and Hitler and when fascist forces infiltrated the highest echelons of the church. In 1937, Pope Pius XI published an encyclical in German denouncing the Nazi regime and its racism. The diatribe infuriated Hitler, but the focus was more on Nazi persecution of Catholics than laws targeting Jews.

In Italy, the Vatican had long made accommodations with Mussolini for its own geopolitical gains, and Pius XI failed to quell widespread institutional anti-Semitism in the church before it was too late. When Mussolini decreed in 1938 that Italian Jews were to suffer a legal fate similar to those in Germany, Pius XI tried to prepare a fresh encyclical deploring anti-Semitism and racism, as revealed in historian David Kertzer’s book “The Pope and Mussolini,” he was double-crossed by pro-fascist forces in the Vatican working in tandem with Il Duce. Senior figures in the French Catholic Church also collaborated with fascism in France, where the Vichy regime aided the Nazis in deporting about 80,000 Jews to the death camps.

 The lesson of history has not been lost on Francis. After President Trump’s inauguration, he warned that rising populism could produce a new Hitler. But now, as Europe faces historic elections that could bring extreme-right nationalists back into power across the continent for the first time since World War II, he must act. The bellicose anti-Islam invective being marshaled by figures such as Burke shares much in common with the vicious anti-Semitism many Catholic clerics adhered to in the 1930s, when they saw Jews as a danger to the Christian West whose rights must be restricted.

Burke, like Bannon, who says Islam is “the most radical” religion in the world, makes no distinction in his clash-of-civilizations frenzy between the Muslim faith’s diverse currents and interpretations, and violent jihadist movements derived mostly from Saudi-style Salafism. Unsurprisingly, Burke says he is “very satisfied” with Russian autocrat Putin’s “defense of life and family” and believes he may have “converted” since his KGB days. Yet, just as godless Communism posed an existential threat in the past, the Catholic Church has nothing to gain and everything to lose from cozying up to far-right extremists from the United States to Europe. They distort Christianity into an exclusionary ideology in defense of nation and race, and unite a new support base of Muslim-haters with historically anti-Semitic movements such as the National Front that are anything but Christian, and often neo-pagan.

The options open to the pope in dealing with Burke are limited. Excommunication isn’t in the cards; Burke is not a heretic denying the Catholic faith. Nor is Burke refusing to submit to the pontiff like French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who was cast out by John Paul II after his ultra-conservative Society of Saint Pius X ordained its own bishops rather than take directions from the Vatican.

However, Francis, who has full authority over his cardinals, could fully remove Burke from his remaining sinecure with Knights of Malta, call him in for a pastoral correction on the issue of his unacceptable political interventions, investigate Dignitatis Humanae with a view to shutting it down for its subversive politicking, and send the rebel cardinal back home to the United States. As Burke tries to run an insurgency and rebukes the pope for his doctrinal “ambiguities,” with the backing of thousands of priests, Francis could seize the agenda. In time-honored papal tradition, he could write an encyclical on the burning questions of populism and nationalism, with specific reference to migrants, Muslims and Jews, so priests including Burke know they are in breach of church teaching when they try to act as power brokers for the international extreme right.

The stakes could hardly be higher, especially as the pope seems on a collision course with a Trump-Bannon White House that has imposed a form of a Muslim ban and disparaged him during the election campaign for daring to suggest that building a wall on the United States’ southern border was un-Christian. If the pope doesn’t put the reactionary elements such as Burke and his cronies back in their place, they could force a real schism during his papacy and leave the church open to justifiable accusations it failed to stand up to enablers of extremism and neo-fascism within its ranks.
