Contradicting the Church Fathers, Prevost heretically believes that Christ's forgiveness did not await Judas' repentance

The Progressive Gospel According to Prevost


Prevost's confusing and manipulative message about Judas the Traitor, son of Perdition

Leo XIV's Strange Sermon on Judas – Gloria.tv



 ☣︎Caution Prevost speaks:

 Gnostic Gospel of Judas according to Prevost:

⚠️💀“He has understood that the freedom of the other, even when it is lost in evil, can still be reached by the light of a meek gesture, because he knows that true forgiveness does not await repentance, but offers itself first, as a free gift, even before it is accepted” ⚠️ (20 August 2025)

Prevost twists the Gospel to justify Bergoglio's betrayal and his own.





2 Timothy 4:3-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

3 For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:

4 And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.


Prevost, like Bergoglio, employs the political tactic of demagoguery. Instead of confirming the Catholic faith, he creates confusion and ambiguity. He speaks like a modernist heretic who embraces naturalism and rationalism, which is why some naive Catholics fail to clearly understand his heretical ideas.



In politics, demagoguery is the practice of gaining the favor of the masses through flattery, concessions, manipulation, and promises, in order to gain political power or perpetuate oneself in it. Note that the demagogue speaks to two diametrically opposed groups, which he confuses in order to win over both groups.




Acts 17:30-31
 God has overlooked the times of human ignorance, but now he commands people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world with justice by a man whom he has appointed. He has given public confirmation of this to all by raising him from the dead.”

The Church Fathers teach that Jesus patiently awaited Judas's conversion and therefore omitted to publicly denounce him by name.

Mt.26-24. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.


Catena Aurea by St. Thomas Aquinas
JEROME. Judas, not withheld by either the first or second warning, perseveres in his treachery; the Lord’s long-suffering nourishes his audacity. Now then his punishment is foretold, that denunciations of wrath may correct where good feeling has no power.

JEROME. O wonderful endurance of the Lord, He had said before, One of you shall betray me. The traitor perseveres in his wickedness; He designates him more particularly, yet not by name. For Judas, while the rest were sorrowful, and withdrew their hands, and bid away the food from their mouths, with the same hardihood and recklessness which led him to betray Him, reached forth his hand into the dish with his Master, passing off his audacity as a good conscience.



1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Catena Aurea:
REMIGIUS. Woe also to all who draw near to Christ’s table with an evil and defiled conscience! who though they do not deliver Christ to the Jews to be crucified, deliver Him to their own sinful members to be taken. He adds, to give more emphasis, Good were it for that man if he had never been born.

JEROME. We are not to infer from this that man has a being before birth; for it cannot be well with any man till he has a being; it simply implies that it is better not to be, than to be in evil.

AUGUSTINE. (Quæst. Ev. i. 40.) And if it be contended that there is a life before this life, that will prove that not only not for Judas, but for none other is it good to have been born. Can it mean, that it were better for him not to have been born to the Devil, namely, for sin? Or does it mean that it had been good for him not to have been born to Christ at his calling, that he should now become apostate?

JEROME. His question feigns either great respect, or a hypocritical incredulousness. The rest who were not to betray Him, said only Lord; the actual traitor addresses Him as Master, as though it were some excuse that he denied Him as Lord, and betrayed a Master only.


Hebrews 9:28
so Christ, having been offered once to take away the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.


“Son of perdition” St John 17:12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled.

“Perdition” - a state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and unrepentant person passes after death.

Cardinal Prevost Defends Francis' Judas Heresy






Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot
Luke 22:3-4; John 13:17.







Judas: Traitor and Thief
The Council emphasizes that Judas exercised his own free will to betray Jesus Christ, which is considered a sin, leading to his damnation. Additionally, the Catechism of the Council of Trent states that Judas lost his soul and is therefore in Hell. This teaching is supported by various Church figures, including Pope Leo the Great and St. Augustine, who affirmed that Judas was damned for his actions.

                            

Raban.: He “hung himself,” to shew that he was hateful to both heaven and earth.

 


St. Jerome (Bible Catena Aurea Matthew 27:3):  
It profits nothing to do an act of penance which is incapable of correcting the sin. If a man sins against his brother in such a way that the wrong he committed can be amended, it is possible for him to be forgiven. If the consequences of his sin remain in force, however, in vain does he attempt to do penance. The psalmist applies this truth to our most miserable Judas when he says, “Let his prayer be counted as sin.” Not only was Judas unable to repair the damage of his sinful betrayal, but he even continued to compound the evil of that initial crime by committing suicide. Of such things the apostle speaks in his second epistle to the Corinthians: “Let not a brother be overwhelmed by greater sorrow.”

                        

St Jerome: The weight of Judas’s impiety overshadowed the magnitude of his avarice. Seeing the Lord condemned to death, he brought the money to the priests as if it were in his power to change the sentence of Christ’s persecutors. Although he would change his mind eventually, he could not change the consequence of his first decision. Yet if he sins who betrays innocent blood, how much more do they sin who purchase innocent blood and provoke a disciple by offering a reward for his apostasy. Those who deny the apostle’s free will and attempt instead to explain Judas’s betrayal by attributing to him an evil nature will need also to explain how a person of evil nature can repent.

 

John Chrysostom

This was a charge both against him and against these others. Against Judas, not because he repented but because he did so late and slowly and became selfcondemned. For that he gave himself up, he himself confessed. And it was a charge against the others, in that having the power to reverse the verdict, they did not repent. But observe when it is that Judas feels remorse. When his sin was completed and had been fully accomplished. The devil is like this. He does not permit those that are inattentive to see the evil in due time, lest they might repent. At least when Jesus was saying so many things, Judas was not influenced. But when his offense was completed, then repentance came upon him. And then it was too late to be profitable. For to condemn it and to throw down the pieces of silver and not to regard the Jewish people were all acceptable things. But to hang himself, this again was unpardonable and a work of an evil spirit. For the devil led him out of his repentance too soon, so that he should reap no fruit from it, and carried him off by a most disgraceful death, and one manifest to all, having persuaded him to destroy himself. The Gospel of Matthew, Homily



Acts 1:24-25
Then they prayed, saying, “Lord, you know the hearts of everyone. Show us which one of these two you have chosen  to take the place in this apostolic ministry that Judas abandoned to go to his own place.”

  1. John Chrysostom
    AD 407
    This was a charge both against him, and against these men; against him, not because he repented, but because he did so, late, and slowly, and became self-condemned (for that he delivered Him up, he himself confessed); and against them, for that having the power to reverse it, they repented not. But mark, when it is that he feels remorse. When his sin was completed, and had received an accomplishment. For the devil is like this; he suffers not those that are not watchful to see the evil before this, lest he whom he has taken, should repent. At least, when Jesus was saying so many things, he was not influenced, but when his offense was completed, then repentance came upon him; and not then profitably. For to condemn it, and to throw down the pieces of silver, and not to regard the Jewish people, were all acceptable things; but to hang himself, this again was unpardonable, and a work of an evil spirit. For the devil led him out of his repentance too soon, so that he should reap no fruit from thence; and carries him off, by a most disgraceful death, and one manifest to all, having persuaded him to destroy himself. But mark, I pray you, the truth shining forth on every side, even by what the adversaries both do and suffer. For indeed even the very end of the traitor stops the mouths of them that had condemned Him, and suffers them not to have so much as any shadow of an excuse, that is surely shameless. For what could they have to say, when the traitor is shown to pass such a sentence on himself.
