November 25, 2017 headlines
Sorry, I am forced to use this Canon212 headline above-the-fold headline round-up because what its bottom banner headline reports is
Bergoglio's determination to institute the Catholic quickie annulment in which he calls on diocesan bishops to be the one-man judge-jury-
executioner decreeing his quickie marriage annulments.
I do so despite my unremitting distaste for Canon212's abuse and overuse of 'Francis-' as a pejorative prefix to anything and everything that
editor Frank Walker disapproves of in this pontificate, not to mention appending '...see?' to questionable statements by Bergoglio or his
surrogates (as if pointing out something the moron reader may not be sharp enough to note on his own). Now that PewSitter is out of
business, Walker's monopoly of the Catholic news aggregation niche appears to have given him license to aggravate his worst violations
of Journalism 101. Though obviously Walker does not feel bound by any guidelines of style or taste.
Pope says 'pastoral consolation' is
the goal of new annulment norms
November 25, 2017
Pope Francis on Saturday addressed the participants of a training course for clerics and laity held by the Apostolic Tribunal of the Roman Rota.
In his prepared remarks, Pope Francis focused on new matrimonial norms and Super Rota procedures. [What exactly are Super Rota procedures? Does he mean that marriage annulment at the diocesan level has rendered the diocesan tribunals above the Roman Rota itself, which is supposed to be the supreme marriage tribunal in 'the Church'? One more improvement over 'the Church' by the church of Bergoglio!]
In particular the Pope said “it is necessary to give greater attention and proper analysis to the two recent motu proprios: Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus and Mitis et misericors Iesus, in order to apply the new procedures that have been established.”
These two measures, he said arose [“from a synodal context, and are the expression of a synodal path.” The Pope explained that the Synod had the purpose of promoting and defending marriage and the Christian family.
[He is bending the truth again – i.e., lying – as usual.
- Everyone knows that he sprung his new barebones no-cost quickie annulment decrees unawares on everyone a few weeks before the second ‘family synod’ opened, which would have been the proper venue for first discussing and then recommending changes in the Church’s careful checks-and-balances annulment process.
- Nor was this issue ever taken up in the first family synod.
So how can he say they arose ‘from a synodal context and are the expression of a synodal path”?
It has come to this point - that the supposed Vicar of Christ on earth can and does tell whatever lies are convenient to serve his agenda and no one calls him out for it. This brazen shamelessness about sinning publicly – because that is what his lies amount to (before we even get to the more serious matter of his doctrinal heterodoxies and near heresies) – is all part of his Luciferian hubris (and I am deliberately being ‘kind’ by using the adjective Luciferian instead of Satanic though of course the terms are synonymous).]
Pope Francis also urged those gathered to strive to be missionaries and witnesses of the spirit of the Synod when they return to their communities.
He stressed the importance of “pastoral consolation,” which is the goal of the new matrimonial norms. The Pope told the participants that they are called “to be close to the loneliness and suffering of the faithful waiting for ecclesial justice and to provide the help needed to regain the peace of their consciences and the will of God on readmission to the Eucharist.”
During his discourse Pope Francis said he had decided to definitively clarify some of the fundamental aspects of the two recent motu proprios, in particular the role of the diocesan bishop.
In a series of points the Holy Father said the diocesan bishop was the natural judge in the new “shorter process.” He added that the shorter process was not simply another option that the Bishop may choose; rather, it is an obligation that comes from his consecration and the mission that has been entrusted to him.
The Pope also underlined several fundamental criteria for the shorter process: mercy, in the first place, and closeness and gratuity, which the Holy Father said “are the two pearls the poor need, and which the Church must love above all else.”
Did I ever think I would have to mutter - as often and as anguished as I have had to do in the past four years and eight months- "Father, forgive him for he knows not what he's doing" about a person who is pope no less? Am I sinning by sanctimony?
Of course, he thinks he does know what he is doing, because he thinks he would have done better than God the Father - he would never have driven Adam and Eve out of Eden, and would never have laid down all those negative Ten Commandments - and better than God the Son because look at all the changes he is introducing to the Church to show that the church of Bergoglio-aka-Jesus-II will definitely be an improved model of the One True Church of Christ! Someone please tell me if there is a single redeeming Catholic virtue to be found in this pope that I am simply too biased or too obtuse to see!
One-stop super-fast drive-by service at the church of Bergoglio.
Here is the full text of the address by the new Lucifer robed as the Vicar of Christ on earth. Unlike most full texts from which only headline-worthy 'highlights' are reported, and turn out to be 'not so bad' after all, this one is even more chilling when read in full:
Dear brothers and sisters,
I am pleased to meet you at the end of the training course for clerics and laity promoted by the Apostolic Tribunal of the Roman Rota on the subject of the new matrimonial process and the Super Rato process.
I thank the Dean, Msgr. Pinto, for his words. The course that has taken place here in Rome, and those held in other dioceses, are praiseworthy and encouraging initiatives, as they contribute to gaining a proper knowledge and an exchange of experiences at various ecclesial levels regarding major canonical procedures.
In particular, it is necessary to pay great attention and to adequate analyze to the two recent Motu proprio, Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus and Mitis et misericors Iesus, in order to apply the new procedures they establish. These two acts have arisen from a synodal context, they are the expression of a synodal method, and they are the arrival point of a serious synodal path.
Faced with the most thorny questions concerning the evangelizing mission and the salvation of souls, it is important for the Church increasingly to recover the synodal practice of the first community in Jerusalem, where Peter together with the other Apostles and with the whole community under the action of the Holy Spirit endeavoured to act according to the commandment of the Lord Jesus.
[NO! How dare this man compare his Satanic actions subvert the faith to that of the first Christian community in Jerusalem who, unlike him, were genuinely on fire about their "evangelizing mission and the salvation of souls", which appear to be the least of Bergoglio's concerns.
On the contrary, he has no interest in evangelizing or in the Church's primary mission which is the salvation of souls because he is too busy posing as he who will save the world from poverty and the planet from catastrophic climate change, and deliver Europe to Islam on a golden platter. Where in all this is the salvation of souls?]
This is what has been done in the synodal assemblies on the family, in which, in the spirit of communion and fraternity, representatives of the episcopate from all over the world gathered in assembly to listen to the voice of the communities to discuss, reflect and carry out the work of discernment.
[No, the synods may have discussed and reflected, but the 'discernment' as to what they recommended and what the world has formally been told about those synods was all the work of one man (and his ghostwriters) - which is a betrayal not just of the synods themselves but also of the Word of God on marriage and the Church's age-old discipline of the sacraments. A betrayal that cries out amid all the calculated casuistry and self-justification in the name of the Lord that we have been subjected to for the past 18 months since the release of that exhortation from Hell.]
The Synod had the purpose of promoting and defending the Christian family and marriage for the greater good of spouses faithful to the covenant celebrated in Christ. [NO! It was really focused on those unfaithful to that covenant.] It also had to study the situation and development of the family in today’s world, preparation for marriage, ways to help those who suffer as a result of the failure of their marriage, the education of children, and other issues.
As you return to your communities, strive to be missionaries and witnesses of the synodal spirit that is at their origin, as well as of the pastoral consolation that is the purpose of this new matrimonial provision, so as to strengthen the faith of the holy people of God through charity. [Through false charity and mercy, really.]
May the synodal spirit and pastoral consolation become the form of your action in the Church, especially in field as delicate as that of the family in search of the truth about the conjugal state of spouses.
With this attitude, each of you is a sincere collaborator of your bishop, to whom the new norms grant a decisive role, especially in the streamlined briefer process, as he is the natural judge of the particular Church.
In your service, you are called to be close to the solitude and suffering of the faithful who expect from ecclesial justice the competent and factual help to restore peace to their consciences and God’s will on readmission to the Eucharist.
Hence, the need and the value of the course you have attended – and I hope that others will be organized – to promote a just approach to the matter and an increasingly wide-ranging and serious study of the new matrimonial process. It is an expression of the Church that is able to welcome and care for those who are wounded in various ways by life and, at the same time, it is an appeal for the defence of the sacredness of the marriage bond.
To make the application of the new law for marriage process, two years after its promulgation, the cause and reason for salvation and peace for the great number of faithful who are wounded in their matrimonial situation, I have decided, in my office as bishop of Rome and Peter’s Successor, to specify some fundamental aspects of the two Motu proprio, especially the figure of the diocesan bishop as personal and single judge in the streamlined process.
The diocesan bishop has always been Iudex unum et idem cum Vicario iudiciali; but since this principle is interpreted as de facto excluding the personal exercise of the diocesan bishop, delegating almost everything to the Tribunals, I establish as follows how I consider to be decisive and exclusive the personal exercise of the role of judge by the diocesan bishop:
1. The diocesan bishop, by virtue of his pastoral office, is the personal and sole judge in the briefer process.
2. Therefore, the figure of the diocesan-bishop-judge is the architrave, the constitutive principle and the discriminating element of the entire briefer process, established by the two Motu proprio.
3. In the briefer process, two indispensable conditions are required, ad validitatem: the episcopate, and the fact of being the head of a diocesan community of faithful (cf. canon 381 § 2). If one of the two conditions is not met, the briefer process cannot be followed. The case must be judged via the ordinary process.
4. The exclusive and personal jurisdiction of the diocesan bishop, set out in the fundamental criteria of the briefer process, refers directly to the ecclesiology of Vatican Council II, which reminds us that the bishop already has by consecration the fullness of all the authority that is ad actum expedita, through the missio canonica.
5. The streamlined process is not an option that the diocesan bishop can choose, but rather an obligation that derives from his consecration and from the missio received. He holds exclusive competence in the three phases of the briefer process:
— the request must always be addressed to the diocesan bishop;
— the preliminary phase, as I have already affirmed in my address at the Course held by the Roman Rota on 12 March last year, will be conducted by the bishop «always assisted by the judicial vicar or other instructor, even a layperson, by the assessor, and always with the presence of the defender of the bond”. Should the bishop not have the assistance of clerical or lay canonists, the charity, which distinguishes episcopal office, of a nearby bishop may come to his aid for the time necessary. Furthermore, I reiterate that the briefer process must typically be concluded in one session, requiring as an indispensible condition the absolute evidence of the facts proving the alleged nullity of the marriage, as well as the consent of both spouses.
the decision to pronounce coram Domino is always and only taken by the diocesan bishop.
6. To entrust the entire briefer process to the interdiocesan court (either neighbouring or multiple dioceses) would lead to a distortion and reduction of the figure of the bishop, from father, head and judge of his faithful to a mere signatory of the judgement.
7. Mercy, one of the fundamental criteria ensuring the salus, requires that the diocesan bishop implement the briefer process as soon as possible; should he not consider himself ready at present to do so, the case must be addressed via the ordinary process, which must in any case be conducted with the proper solicitude.
8. Closeness and gratuitousness, as I have repeated several times, are the two pearls most needed by the poor, whom the Church must love more than anything else.
9. With regard to jurisdiction, in receiving the appeal against the affirmative judgement in the briefer process, on the part of the Metropolitan or of the bishop indicated in the new canon 1687, it is specified that the new law confers to the Dean of the Rota a new and therefore constitutive potestas decidendi regarding the rejection or admission of the appeal.
In conclusion, I would like to reiterate clearly that this is to occur without asking for permission or authorization from another Institution or from the Apostolic Signatura.
Dear brothers and sisters, I wish you well for this study and for the ecclesial service of each one of you. May the Lord bless you and Our Lady protect you. And please, do not forget to pray for me. Thank you.
Dear God, please convert Jorge Bergoglio back to the true faith, and if he won't, please lift this burden from your Church before she gets further crushed. Through Christ our Lord, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
P.S. I must apologize. In the original story from Vatican Radio, there was a reference to a 'Super Rota' procedure - it turns out the right term is 'Super Rato' which means 'valid' as in the phrase 'super rato et non consummato' referring to a Church marriage that iv 'valid but not consummated'. But the Bergoglian norms obviously do not apply to such pretty straightforward cases of annulment ('unconsummated' marriages must be quite rare, after all)...
