Bergoglio has indebted the local churches, to cover his expensive visits in which he promotes his liberal agenda to corrupt the youth

THE EXPENSIVE TRIPS OF THE POOR POPE –

Atila Sinke Guimarães

The Bishops of Ireland are asking the faithful to pay the expenses of Pope Francis’ August trip to the Emerald Isle, and the high costs of that quick trip are becoming known.

Here is a news report from The Tablet of London: “Parishes across Ireland have been asked to hold a fifth national collection this weekend in a bid to cover the € 4 million deficit ($4.5 million) outstanding on the August papal visit and the World Meeting of Families (WMF).

“The overall cost to Church and State of the 32-hour visit is estimated at € 32 million ($ 36.5 milion), including substantial security costs.” (The Tablet, November 10, 2018, p. 29)

The magazine goes on to give details: “The visit to Dublin, Knock and the hosting of the WMF cost the Church € 19 million ($21.6 million). So far, €15.4 million ($17.5 milion) has been raised through four national parish collections, corporate sponsorship and donations. … It is hoped the remaining € 4 million can be secured through this weekend’s collection. …

“Responding to criticism that Mass-goers were once again being asked to step up to the plate … Bishop Kevin Doran … [said]: ‘We have to pay our debts and this means ultimately each diocese in Ireland will have to cough up out of reserves.'”

So, the balance of approximately $36.5 million for a 32-hour trip gives the pictures as to what Pope Bergoglio is costing his hosts, with an average of about $1.1 million per hour for his company. Quite an expensive hourly rate!

A series of contradictory facts come from this report.

1. I am not aware of the fares of rock and movie stars who visit other countries, but I would be surprised to learn that any of them would be as expensive as the trips of this Pope who tries to impose poverty on everyone in the Catholic Church. He has forbidden that the cardinals wear their scarlet garments in papal meetings because it is a display of opulence and can “ scandalize” the poor.

But he himself imposes on the faithful the bill of over $1 million per hour to see him visiting their country in his cheap black shoes and worn transparent cassock. What an expensive manifestation of poverty!

Papal pomp and ceremony symbolized Christ and the holiness of the Church

2. Francis hates the past monarchical Papacy and is doing whatever he can to get rid of it, as we at TIA have shown many times (here, here, here, here and here). Among the criticisms he makes of the Papal Monarchy is that it was very expensive and not turned toward the poor. However, I do not know of a single public appearance of the Pope Kings that was as costly as these trips by the Conciliar Popes to manifest themselves as representatives of the people, as democratic. How oppressive this democratic face of the New Church is for the people!

3. When the Popes of the past appeared surrounded by sacred symbols, the people used to see on them what they symbolized, that is, Christ and the holiness of the Catholic Church. Now that almost all those symbols have been abolished, when the Conciliar Popes appear, they only show their persons. The revolution to abolish the symbols ended in a blatant manifestation of the egocentrism of each Pope. What humility in that past pomp! What hypocrisy in this false manifestation of humility!

4. When the public appearances of the Queen of England incur expenses, there is no doubt that the English people love her pomp and display. The proof is the overwhelming crowds that show up for her appearances even though she has been reigning for more than 65 years and her appearances are not rare.

Now, it is very rare in the history of Ireland to have a Pope visiting the country. Nonetheless, the Irish people were not content with the visit of Francis. They showed this by protesting against his leniency in dealing with the pedophile scandal in the Church and by not coming to his gatherings. What unjustified expenses! What a lie to say that papal visit was made to please the Irish people!

5. In principle, Pope Bergoglio went to Ireland to bolster the life of the family attacked by so many factors in the modern world. Actually, he took advantage of his visit to foster elements that are corrosive to the family, such as his promotion of Fr. James Martin, now a Vatican official, who was imposed into the WMF schedule as a speaker in order to advance the homosexual agenda.

In fact Martin preached to Irish Catholics that they should welcome homosexuals in Catholic churches and in their homes. Now, homosexuality is against nature and consequently is corrosive to the family. What a deleterious papal action when Francis should be reinforcing the family!

Here I point out to my reader some of the multiple contradictions that stand out analyzing Pope Francis' visit to Ireland.

As a side note, allow me to stress another hole created by expenses like those in Ireland.

I was told that in Ecuador, the Archdiocese of Quito had to incur large debts in order to host Francis in July 2015. The creditors understandably pressured the Archdiocese, which did not have the funds to pay the debt.

The result is that a foreign wealthy priestly society came to rescue the Archdiocese, giving it about $1 million in exchange for many privileges. Is this not a subtle form of simony that was created by the frenetic desire of the Conciliar Popes to be popular?

Ecuador incurred a huge debt with Francis' visit.

Gay activist Yayo Grassi, Bergoglio'former student said that he owes Bergoglio his open and progressive thinking.

St John Chrysostom

Our Lord having reproached the Jews with blindness, they might have said, We are not blind, but we avoid you as a deceiver. Our Lord therefore gives the marks which distinguish a robber and deceiver from a true shepherd. First come those of the deceiver and robber: Verily, verily, I say to you, He that enters not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. There is an allusion here to Antichrist, and to certain false Christs who had been, and were to be. The Scriptures He calls the door. They admit us to the knowledge of God, they protect the sheep, they shut out the wolves, they bar the entrance to heretics. He that uses not the Scriptures, but climbs up some other way, i.e. some self-chosen, some unlawful way, is a thief. Climbs up, He says, not, enters, as if it were a thief getting over a wall, and running all risks. Some other way, may refer too to the commandments and traditions of men which the Scribes taught, to the neglect of the Law. When our Lord further on calls Himself the Door, we need not be surprised. According to the office which He bears, He is in one place the Shepherd, in another the Sheep. In that He introduces us to the Father, He is the Door, in that He takes care of us, He is the Shepherd. (Catena Aurea)

LIBERTAS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON THE NATURE OF HUMAN LIBERTY
35. And as to tolerance, it is surprising how far removed from the equity and prudence of the Church are those who profess what is called liberalism. For, in allowing that boundless license of which We have spoken, they exceed all limits, and end at last by making no apparent distinction between truth and error, honesty and dishonesty. And because the Church, the pillar and ground of truth, and the unerring teacher of morals, is forced utterly to reprobate and condemn tolerance of such an abandoned and criminal character, they calumniate her as being wanting in patience and gentleness, and thus fail to see that, in so doing, they impute to her as a fault what is in reality a matter for commendation. But, in spite of all this show of tolerance, it very often happens that, while they profess themselves ready to lavish liberty on all in the greatest profusion, they are utterly intolerant toward the Catholic Church, by refusing to allow her the liberty of being herself free.

“If you want to be certain of being in the number of the Elect, strive to be one of the few, not one of the many. And if you would be quite sure of your salvation, strive to be among the fewest of the few; that is to say, do not follow the great majority of mankind, but follow those who enter upon the narrow way, who renounce the world, who give themselves to prayer, and who never relax their efforts by day or night, so that they may attain everlasting blessedness.” -Saint Anselm, Father and Doctor of the Church

PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH, THE PROTECTOR OF CHRISTIAN FAMILIES Great Saint Joseph, who wast chosen of God to be the head of the holiest and most august of families, deign to cast thy eyes upon us, and take us this day under thy special protection. Holy Patriarch, model of the holiest faith, and of the most perfect virtues, obtain for all the members of this family grace to withstand the dangers and seductions of the world, and to remain stedfastly attached to the LORD. Obtain for us that, always united by the bonds of the most tender charity, and encouraging one another mutually in good works, we may taste under thy auspices the sweetness of that peace which JESUS has promised to His true disciples. But above all, when our last hour shall come, obtain for us that we may find grace before the Sovereign Judge, so that, reunited in heaven at the foot of Thy Throne, we may celebrate everlastingly the glory of GOD and thy praise. Amen.

St. Vincent Ferrer -- Sermon on the Last Judgment: In the same way, in the time of Antichrist, the Sun of justice will be obscured by the interposition of temporal goods and the wealth which Antichrist will bestow on the world, inasmuch as the brightness of faith in Jesus Christ and the glow of good lives will no longer shine among Christians. For, lest they should lose their dominion, temporal rulers, kings and princes will range themselves on the side of Antichrist. In like manner, prelates for fear of losing their dignities, and religious and priests to gain honors and riches, will forsake the Faith of Christ and adhere to Antichrist.

Neither living nor lifeless faith remains in a heretic who disbelieves one article of faith. The reason of this is that the species of every habit depends on the formal aspect of the object, without which the species of the habit cannot remain. Now the formal object of faith is the First Truth, as manifested in Holy Writ and the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth. Consequently whoever does not adhere, as to an infallible and Divine rule, to the teaching of the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth manifested in Holy Writ, has not the habit of faith, but holds that which is of faith otherwise than by faith. Even so, it is evident that a man whose mind holds a conclusion without knowing how it is proved, has not scientific knowledge, but merely an opinion about it. Now it is manifest that he who adheres to the teaching of the Church, as to an infallible rule, assents to whatever the Church teaches; otherwise, if, of the things taught by the Church, he holds what he chooses to hold, and rejects what he chooses to reject, he no longer adheres to the teaching of the Church as to an infallible rule, but to his own will. Hence it is evident that a heretic who obstinately disbelieves one article of faith, is not prepared to follow the teaching of the Church in all things; but if he is not obstinate, he is no longer in heresy but only in error. Therefore it is clear that such a heretic with regard to one article has no faith in the other articles, but only a kind of opinion in accordance with his own will. (Saint Thomas Aquinas. Summa Theologica, II-II, q. 5, a. 3)
