DILEMMAS for the Faithful. #5

In early February, the Pope met with a Delegation of German Evangelicals, along with Cdl. Marx who recently called for the blessing of homosexual unions but later denied that he had. The Pope's words foster a deep ecumenism, and the link is provided for readers to make of it what they will, recalling that the Vatican issued a postage stamp last year in honour of Martin Luther. I found the report on "Il Sismografo"...........

Does the Pope have intentions of instituting an Ecumenical Mass? In early January, 2017, having clipped the wings of Cdl. Robert Sarah as Head of The Congregation For Divine Worship, who is a traditionalist, the Vatican Insider reported:

"Pope Francis has ordered a revision of "Liturgiam Authenticam", a controversial decree that wants to modify the liturgical texts, based on the most recent translations, from Latin to English and to other languages. This commission, established by the pope shortly before Christmas, also has the difficult task of examining the level of decentralization, desirable in the church, on issues such as this."

Around the time that the Pope met with the German Evangelicals, some concerns were aired that indeed it was the intention of the Commission to change the liturgy. Here is an article from "L'Ultimo Papa" .............

Readers may note that I have sought out various European articles on this matter to ascertain local sentiments, rather than relying on the usual American blog sites. Among the sentiments that I have read, I paste here a fairly typical view from an Italian priest, Fra Cristoforo [excuse the rough translation]. One salient point in all this is the dichotomy now extant among clerics and the growing opposition to the Vatican prelates, the likes of which I have not witnessed in surviving seven Popes. Much dissension exists and I make no further comment myself, but here is one priest's view .............

"My confidential source of Santa Marta, referring to some heard discussion - between lunch and the other - told me that in reality the change of Mass, wanted by Bergoglio, has ONLY ONE END: THE ECUMENICAL ONE. 

That is to "create" a Mass that is not in contrast with the Protestants and therefore a liturgy that can be celebrated "in communion".

This is the truth. And this is his intent. A perennial liturgy that is however ecumenical. Obviously I expect that Bergoglio in order to do this will also have to change the text of the "Consecration". 
Which would make the Mass invalid. And I also foresee that those who refuse to celebrate with this "new rite" will be considered out of the Church. 
These times are coming. And let's do a reason. The bishop of Rome wants to become "the president" of the various confessions; and to do this he is selling Jesus Christ at a much lower price than Judah.

As for me, being a priest, I will refuse to celebrate this kind of liturgy. And I tell you that you will return to being Christians of the "catacombs". 
The intention of Bergoglio is therefore to arrive at this. Change to "merge". 
Already today, in the speech to those Lutherans, he already mentioned that the liturgical division between Catholics and Protestants hurts especially the "couples" mixed

So it seems it will also want to speed up the times.

My Santamartese "source" tells me that it is almost done. 
Only a matter of little time. 
Mala tempora currunt.

I suggest to all readers: pray the Madonna with many Rosaries. Not to remove these times. Because now we are here. But why help you to keep the faith. And to be persevering at the time of persecution. That will arrive soon.

Fra Cristoforo 6.2.17

Some months later, another investigator looked into the Fra's information and I quote .........

"Our source passed us information that we could not invent.

When Fra Cristoforo told me about the intercommunion project, I did not want to believe it.

Here in Rome we say: "but what are you inventing!".

And yet here in this article of Avvenire on Thursday 19, it is the reigning Pontiff himself who confirms to us that his project is ONE MASS UNIQUE FOR ALL THE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES.

He did not say it in specific words, but between the lines it is clear that his intent is that.

Which is a contradiction. 
Because the right formula would be: A UNIQUE MASS FOR THE ONLY CHRISTIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Referring to the Methodist Church, Avvenire writes:

Hence the exhortation of Pope Francis to "grow in a greater communion", to continue the journey "with the new phase of dialogue that is about to start on the theme of reconciliation", in the certainty of the work of the Spirit of God that always creates new charisms and "the miracle of reconciled unity". 
The gift of grace that "we have discovered in each other", the consequent mutual enrichment and the awareness of being "brothers and sisters in Christ" mark that new time - explains the Pope - in which "to prepare oneself, with humble hope and commitment concrete ", to the" full recognition that will take place, with the help of God, when we can finally meet together in the fraction of the Bread ".

We no longer need to blur on intercommunion.

He directly spilled the Pope.

Now he has understood that he must no longer hide his intentions.

So who can stop it?
