Pope Paul VI & Pope Francis

Magnum damnum factum est

†

          
          It is with great sadness of heart and deep mourning of spirit that we read the news that Pope Paul VI will be added to the catalogue of Saints on Sunday, October 14, 2018 by Pope Francis, the humblest of the Supreme Pontiffs in the Church of the God of Surprises.

          How can this act not be seen by God’s children as a great betrayal of all the Catholic Church has always held sacred and dear for the edification of Her members? To offer as a good example a man who betrayed almost every aspect of Catholic life as known up to his Pontificate is a tremendous scandal to faithful and unfaithful Catholics, as well as to non-Christians. One might even say that it could be a scandal to the fallen angels and their leader, but even belief in such beings has become a thing of the past, in no small part due to the horrible Pontificate of Paul VI.

          What will Paul VI be venerated for? For his unwillingness to clearly teach, correct, and guide the flock of Christ? For his openness to freemasonry and communism? Will we have to burn incense before the statue of that Vicar of Christ who refused to behave as such, and instead shamefully betrayed Cardinal Mindszenty in his (and the Church’s) fight against the communist regime in Hungary? Will he be venerated for the irresistible need he had to eliminate everything and anything Roman in the life of the Church, especially in Her liturgy? For his Calvinistic inclinations? For putting the materialistic needs of man before his observance of God’s commandments? For trying to reinvent a Christianity “unpinned from the Cross” that emphasized human rather than supernatural means and dimensions, which caused many to lose their faith?

          Will Paul VI’s Protestant desire to dismantle the Holy Sanctuary of God be held as an example to follow? Will we be encouraged to embrace his “revisions,” which deformed Catholic worship with a “pertinacious anti-Roman spirit” causing deep consternation among the sheep of Christ? Would we be enthusiastically animated to praise and exult Paul VI’s iconoclastic fury for reforming everything through destruction and mutilation of anything (Roman) that was deemed "offensive" to Protestants, Heretics, and Schismatics, in particular the Latin language, the Sacred Roman Canon, and immemorial rites and ceremonies?
          Will we be expected to continue implementing innovations that he forcefully promulgated, which gave way to numberless dogmatic, religious, moral, and liturgical aberrations that gave the world the impression that the Catholic Church is simply a religion among many, that it was not founded by God Himself for the salvation of souls? How can we, with a truly Catholic spirit, celebrate and extol a pontificate that brought ruin upon the unity, concord, faith, and devotion of God’s little ones?
