More Disturbing News from Pope Francis’ Clergy that Western Civilization is in Deep Doo Doo

Here is a LINK to a disturbing article from the Nation Catholic Register about Cardinal Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, the archbishop emeritus of Guadalajara, Mexico who gave that nation an official Catholic exorcism.  A quote from the article:

“Such ‘exorcisms … have helped bring awareness that there is such a thing as sin influenced by Satan,’ said Msgr. John Esseff, a priest for 62 years in the Diocese of Scranton, Pa., and an exorcist for more than 35 years.”

Christ Crucified

How about a big DUH-zilla for good Monsignor John and the Cardinal Juan.

This very same bishop recommends that the entire country of the United States also receive a Catholic exorcism.

Talk about 100% pure, mass produced, canned stupid spewing forth from the highest level of the Catholic Church establishment.

The Catholic bishop is not some self-appointed, crazed whacko who suffers from periodic temper tantrums.  The Catholic bishop is a direct spiritual descendent of Christ’s twelve Apostles, one of the foundation stones upon which the Church is proudly stands.

So instead stating the obvious, that all men are responsible for their actions, and that our social decline is the direct result of people choosing lives of vice instead of virtue, the New Cadre of Catholic Clowns (Pope Francis and his fellow bishops) is telling everyone to relax,

“The devil made you do it.  Hang on, while we perform and exorcism for your heathen nation.”

During the Renaissance the corrupt Medici and Borgia popes betrayed Jesus much like Judas did: for a handful of gold.

During our time, we are seeing the reign of Pope Francis, betray God like the ancient Jews did: forsaking God’s teachings in order to practice idolatry.

In other words the Magisterium (the teaching authority and office) of the Catholic Church is now being run by pagan idolaters.

Indeed, this is a sad state of affairs for what remains of Western Civilization.

        1. You think so?

          Could you give me some real-world examples that demonstrate this “societal decline”? Examples that demonstrate declining health, declining wealth, declining education, declining scientific innovation, declining knowledge, to name just a few subject headers we can look at?

            You need to get out more.

            Science is stuck on global warming hoax and trying to take humanity back to the wind mills of the Middle Ages.

            When I was a kid back in the 60’s we were going to the Moon.

            Under President Obama, the economic plight of the poor and the division between rich and everyone else have gone hog wild.

            Crony socialism is where global warming hoaxer Michael Mann of Penn State University gets a $4 billion payoff from the Obama economic stimulus program.

              Sorry, but the Ronald Reagan economy led to a 20 year boom.

              It is socialism, not capitalism that causes such widespread poverty and such great disparity between the rich and poor.

    Don’t blame Western Civilization for the dark side of human nature.

    Western Civilization is the only place on Earth and in all of human history where authentic human rights existed.

    There are no human rights in any other part of the world and there never were.

      1. John,

        Your error this time is equating the rule of law with human rights.

        The Romans were scrupulous about the rule of law, but human life had no more value than a bucket of warm spit in the Empire.

        Likewise, the German NAZI’s. They were absolutely scrupulous about the law except if you weren’t a member of the master race.

        Likewise with the Imperial Japanese. They followed the stupendous Bushido Code, which was great only if you were Japanese.

          From the United Nations:

          Known today as the Cyrus Cylinder (539 B.C.E), this ancient record has now been recognized as the world’s first charter of human rights. It is translated into all six official languages of the United Nations and its provisions parallel the first four Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”

          You see, “Human Rights.” 🙂

  5. Violet,

    Yes, I am a staunch Catholic. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a brain of my own.

    I think Pope Francis is a complete disaster.

    The standard Catholic practice regarding exorcism is to exhaust all natural means like medical or psychological treatment, first.

    The notion of exorcising an entire nation is simply ridiculous or in my own words, canned stupid.

    Those yokels need to start preaching the Gospel of Jesus.

    But to do that you can’t be a pagan idolater. You must convert to Christianity first.

    1. I was raised as a Catholic. I learned priests are ordinary human beings.

      When I came to my senses and accepted Jesus as my savior, I did not return to the Catholic Church. Reading the Bible persuaded me that Jesus is our savior, and Catholic church does not promote the Bible as it should.

      To be fair, all Christian churches are run by men, and all have their problems. I am not fit to judge any of them. I have just observed that the Bible says that what matters is the object of our faith, Jesus. If we have faith in Jesus, we will organize appropriately and spread the Gospel. Without faith in Jesus, how we organize doesn’t much matter.

  6. I’m sorry about the Pope, Silence. The man has actually got on my nerves several times. I wrote a post stating that animals probably do not go to heaven. That very day the Pope came out and declared all dogs go to heaven. That has happened like six times now. I swear the man reads my blog and than goes on TV just to contradict me.

    1. Insanity,

      If it sets your mind at ease, the Pope’s comments about dogs going to heaven were said to a child who was dying of cancer and asked if she would see her little dog in heaven.

      The Pope said, “Yes,” and rest is the usual media blowing everything into a complete disaster.

      But I must admit that I am very jealous of you being his $h!? list and that he reads your blog religiously just so he can contradict you.

      He’s a Jesuit, you know, and I don’t think they ever got over the Reformation.

          The rule by experts is a Progressive fallacy that you’ve been brainwashed to believe.

          My advice is get a brain of your own and get it educated.

          American greatness happened not because of the expert but because it produced a culture and capitalist economy where little guys like me got unleashed.

          The little guy unleashed is an asset in the Christian, capitalist, American culture.
