The apostate and effeminate Rome—under the leadership of the homosexual Tucho, the gay activist Prevost, and their accomplices—has rejected the Gospel of Christ and is leading souls to Hell

“By their fruit you will recognize them.”
In Matthew 7:15-23, Jesus warns about false prophets who appear righteous outwardly but are inwardly corrupt.

The Fourth Gate of Hell: Impurity

The Fourth Gate of Hell: Impurity — St. Alphonsus Liguori

In The Four Principal Gates of Hell, St. Alphonsus Liguori identifies four vices that send the greatest number of souls to hell: Hatred, Blasphemy, Theft, and Impurity. The fourth gate — Impurity — is described as the widest of them all, through which the majority of sinners enter.

St. Alphonsus’ Teaching

Liguori warns that impurity is not a trifling sin. He calls it a mortal sin of such a loathsome nature that even demons shun it, and that it is so offensive to God that He has punished it with the most severe judgments. He cites St. Jerome’s claim that this sin caused God to repent of creating man, as all flesh became corrupted (Genesis 6:6–12)

Don Bosco’s Prophecies on France and Rome

In a prophetic vision on the vigil of the Epiphany in 1870, Saint John Bosco described a series of divine judgments on France and Rome for their rejection of God’s law and moral corruption, including the sin of homosexuality and other sexual immorality

And will you not yet open your eyes I shall come a third time and I shall beat down to the ground your defenses and the defenders and at the command of the Father, the reign of terror, of dreadful fear and of desolation shall enter into your city.

Under the pretext of a synod, the gay lobby infiltrated in the Vatican, led by Prevost, promotes sodomy

Saint Bernardine of Siena: “The Vice of sodomy ... is the greatest sin.”

Saint Catherine of Siena: In wicked ministers, the sin against nature reigns. This vice of homosexuality is repulsive even to the demons. (The Dialogue, 124)

Bishop Vincenzo Viva [Catholic-Hierarchy]

The sodomite heretics who are members of this gay mafia quote themselves.

When the Magisterium of the Church affirms that a Pope is infallible in matters of faith and morals, it also points out that his duty is to safeguard faith and morals—that is, that his duty consists in guarding the Deposit of Faith. Robert Prevost’s incompetence—which begins in Rome and extends throughout the world—to defend the laws of God and Catholic morality not only disqualifies him from the office he usurps, but also demonstrates his direct complicity in this rebellion against God.

The gay mafia led by Prevost is advancing; however, by entrenching their rebellion against God, they are heading toward eternal perdition.

The Lavender Mafia

The formation of the Lavender Mafia:

Describing the formation of homosexual cliques of clergy Fr. Oko says:

They know well, however, that they may be exposed and embarrassed, so they shield one another by offering mutual support. They build informal relationships reminding of a clique or even mafia, aim at holding particularly those positions which offer power and money.

When they achieve a decision-making position, they try to promote and advance mostly those whose nature is similar to theirs, or at least who are known to be too weak to oppose them.

Fr. Oko said, "Just like in the military, in the police, in the art world, once a person with homosexual tendencies gets into power, usually their subordinates are also homosexuals, therefore they start creating a pyramid, and the same thing is happening in the Church with these bishops who knowingly nominate people with the same tendencies."

Jordi Bertomeu's priority is to cover up the sexual abuses committed by the Lavender Mafia

The Provost appointed the Marxist priest José Guadalupe Torres Campos as the new Bishop of Ecatepec, Mexico—a man who profanes the Mass by using it as leftist political propaganda to promote illegal immigration, and who, when not dressed in the guise of a Catholic priest, wears civilian clothes—a sign that he repudiates the Catholic priesthood.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such false apostles are deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers be transformed as the ministers of justice, whose end shall be according to their works.

Prevost promotes the demon of lust—Asmodeus with the 'blessing' of sodomy, adultery and cohabitation

“Many convents are no longer houses of God, but rather pastures for Asmodeus [the devil of impurity] and his minions.” Asmodeus is the demon of the sin of lust, capable of destroying marriages.
“Several religious institutions will lose all faith and will lose many souls.” She warned that the priests and religious desecrators of the House of God would surrender to the service of the devil and he would take possession of them. “The abomination shall be seen in holy places, in convents, and then the demon shall make himself the king of hearts.” At La Salette, the Virgin indicated that many churches would be desecrated and the Abomination of Desolation would be established; consequently, they would cease to be the dwelling place of God and would become the abode of the demon of lust—the Virgin specifically mentioned the demon Asmodeus, the very demon who, in the Book of Tobit, attacked the Sacrament of Marriage. She also warned: there will be churches to serve these spirits. Asmodeus is a demon of impurity known primarily for his role in the Book of Tobit, where he is depicted as an adversary of the righteous and a symbol of lust.

Happy Mother's Day, Mama Mary.

St. Pius X: What this most prudent Virgin said to the servants at the marriage feast of Cana she addresses also to us: "Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye" (John ii., 5). Now here is the word of Jesus Christ: "If you would enter into life, keep the commandments" (Matt. xix., 17). Let them each one fully convince himself of this, that if his piety towards the Blessed Virgin does not hinder him from sinning, or does not move his will to amend an evil life, it is a piety deceptive and Iying, wanting as it is in proper effect and its natural fruit.

Pope Leo XIII

The proper valuing of the things of earth: God has given us this world as a place of exile, and not as our abiding place:
The things of earth cannot be understood or valued aright without taking into consideration the life to come, the life that will know no death. Exclude the idea of futurity, and forthwith the very notion of what is good and right would perish; nay, the whole scheme of the universe would become a dark and unfathomable mystery. The great truth which we learn from nature herself is also the grand Christian dogma on which religion rests as on its foundation – that, when we have given up this present life, then shall we really begin to live. God has not created us for the perishable and transitory things of earth, but for things heavenly and everlasting; He has given us this world as a place of exile, and not as our abiding place. (Leo XIII. Encyclical Rerum novarum, nos. 21. 24, May 15, 1891)

Saint John Chrysostom, in Saint Thomas Aquinas's *Catena Aurea*, explains that tolerating offenses against God constitutes the pinnacle of impiety.
In Scripture, impiety is a serious sin that is closely related to idolatry and contempt for God. It is considered such a serious sin that it is frequently described as an abomination. Impiety (ungodliness) includes idol worship, idolatry, bearing false witness, lying, blasphemy, and immoral conduct. The Sin of Impiety is a sin of Malice. The Sin of Malice is considered a sin of Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) Commenting upon Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans (1:26-27), Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, explains why the sin of homosexuality is so grave: "Given the sin of impiety through which they [the Romans] sinned against the divine nature [by idolatry], the punishment that led them to sin against their own nature followed.... I say, therefore, that since they changed into lies [by idolatry] the truth about God, He brought them to ignominious passions, that is, to sins against nature; not that God led them to evil, but only that he abandoned them to evil.... "If all the sins of the flesh are worthy of condemnation because by them man allows himself to be dominated by that which he has of the animal nature, much more deserving of condemnation are the sins against nature by which man degrades his own animal nature....

The apostate Robert Prevost obstinately backs Bergoglio's heresies

Prevost is speaking for the devil.
In the Old Testament, those who spoke lies in God's name—deceiving people and leading them to disobey Him—are described as false prophets. This is precisely how Satan cunningly deceived Eve: Contradicting God's commandment, Satan succeeded in making them disobey God.
The satanic deception: You will be like gods; It sounds the same, it doesn't matter if you are a great sinner, you will still have infinite dignity. It mirrors the very deception Luther employed when, by twisting the Scriptures, he tempted God with the maxim: "Sin boldly."
The Word of God warns of precisely the opposite: that whoever sins is no longer a child of God, but of the Devil. And that whoever sins deliberately—after having received the revelation of the Gospel—tramples upon the Blood of Christ and becomes an apostate, for whom nothing awaits but eternal condemnation.
Hebrews 10:26 New Catholic Bible Apostasy Remains Unforgiven.[a] If we deliberately persist in sin after having received the knowledge of the truth, then there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins.
Since the work of the Holy Spirit is our sanctification—that is, that we fulfill God's will to abstain from all sexual immorality, and that we abhor every sin, which is the work of the Devil—obstinacy in sin, the rejection of Revealed Truth, and the sin of presumption are precisely blasphemies against the Holy Spirit, which, as we know, have no forgiveness either in this life or in the next.

Archbishop Viganò: “When a cleric publicly adheres to a false cult, publicly teaches against the recognized faith, and governs as if sacramental and doctrinal boundaries were mere raw material for synodal experiments, the old canonical questions regarding the profession of faith and the loss of office cease to be abstract academic exercises. Even readers not yet ready to draw sedevacantist conclusions should at least stop pretending that we are dealing with a sound structure of Catholic authority suffering only from a few regrettable excesses. A structure that produces Hollerich, Bonny, and Conócoto has revealed all too clearly the spirit that animates it—a spirit that certainly does not come from Pentecost.”

In this case, the excuse that we do not know whether or not Prevost has repented is groundless, for a public scandal demands reparation through a public retraction. Moreover, this constitutes a sin of apostasy against God and against the Faith. We are not dealing with just any sin; its gravity is underscored by the fact that it confirms we are facing a heretic who publicly committed an act of apostasy—a transgression that fully compromises him and renders him unfit to exercise the office of the Papacy. Nevertheless, since this scandal came to light, Prevost has maintained his silence, looking the other way as if nothing had happened.

After the Passion of Christ, it is a mortal sin to participate in Jewish rites ~ St. Thomas Aquinas

It is a mortal sin to observe the old rites after the Passion of Christ The Apostle says (Gal 5:2): “If you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.” But nothing save mortal sin hinders us from receiving Christ’s fruit. Therefore since Christ’s Passion it is a mortal sin to be circumcised, or to observe the other legal ceremonies. All ceremonies are professions of faith, in which the interior worship of God consists. Now man can make profession of his inward faith, by deeds as well as by words: and in either profession, if he make a false declaration, he sins mortally. Now, though our faith in Christ is the same as that of the fathers of old; yet, since they came before Christ, whereas we come after Him, the same faith is expressed in different words, by us and by them. For by them was it said: “Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,” where the verbs are in the future tense: whereas we express the same by means of verbs in the past tense, and say that she “conceived and bore.” In like manner the ceremonies of the Old Law betokened Christ as having yet to be born and to suffer: whereas our sacraments signify Him as already born and having suffered. Consequently, just as it would be a mortal sin now for anyone, in making a profession of faith, to say that Christ is yet to be born, which the fathers of old said devoutly and truthfully; so too it would be a mortal sin now to observe those ceremonies which the fathers of old fulfilled with devotion and fidelity. Such is the teaching Augustine (Contra Faust. XIX, 16), who says: “It is no longer promised that He shall be born, shall suffer and rise again, truths of which their sacraments were a kind of image: but it is declared that He is already born, has suffered and risen again; of which our sacraments, in which Christians share, are the actual representation.” (Saint Thomas Aquinas. Summa Theologica I-II, q.103, a.4, s.c. /co)

Prevost to heretics: 'We are already one!'

Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum (1891) addresses the social implications of industrialization and the role of women in society. He states that "women are not suited for certain occupations," emphasizing that "a woman is by nature fitted for home-work, and it is that which is best adapted at once to preserve her modesty and to promote the good bringing up of children and the well-being of the family." This reflects the Pope's views on the traditional roles of women in the home and the importance of family responsibilities

Prayer of Reparation to the Blessed Virgin Mary Co-Redemptrix, indulgenced by Saint Pius X in 1914

O Blessed Virgin, Mother of God, look down in mercy from heaven, where thou art enthroned as Queen, upon me, a miserable sinner, thine unworthy servant. Although I know full well my own unworthiness, yet in order to atone for the offenses that are done to thee by impious and blasphemous tongues, from the depths of my heart I praise and extol thee as the purest, the fairest, the holiest creature of all God's handiwork. I bless thy holy name, I praise thine exalted privilege of being truly Mother of God, ever virgin, conceived without stain of sin, co-redemptrix of the human race. I bless the Eternal Father who chose thee in an especial way for His daughter; I bless the Word Incarnate who took upon Himself our nature in thy bosom and so made thee His Mother; I bless the Holy Spirit who took thee as His bride. All honor, praise and thanksgiving to the ever-blessed Trinity, who predestined thee and loved thee so exceedingly from all eternity as to exalt thee above all creatures to the most sublime heights. O Virgin, holy and merciful, obtain for all who offend thee the grace of repentance, and graciously accept this poor act of homage from me thy servant, obtaining likewise for me from thy divine Son the pardon and remission of all my sins. Amen 3 x Hail Mary.... Source: The Raccolta, 1950

Preghiera di riparazione alla beata Vergine Maria.

Vergine benedetta, Madre di Dio, volgete benigna lo sguardo dal cielo, ove sedete regina, su questo misero peccatore, vostro servo. Esso, benché consapevole della sua indegnità, a risarcimento delle offese a voi fatte da lingue empie e blasfeme, dall'intimo del suo cuore vi bene dice ed esalta come la più pura, la più bella e la più santa di tutte le creature. Benedice il vostro santo nome, benedice le vostre sublimi pre rogative di vera Madre di Dio, sempre Vergine, concepita senza macchia di peccato, di corredentrice del genere umano. Benedice l'eterno Padre, che vi scelse in modo particolare per Figlia, benedice il Verbo incarnato, che vestendosi dell'umana natura nel vostro purissimo seno vi fece sua Madre; benedice il divino Spirito che vi volle sua Sposa. Benedice, esalta e ringrazia la Trinità augusta che vi prescelse e predilesse tanto da innalzarvi su tutte le creature alla più sublime altezza. O Vergine santa e misericordiosa, impetrate il ravvedimento ai vostri offensori e gradite questo piccolo ossequio dal vostro servo, ottenendo anche a lui, dal vostro divin Figlio, il perdono dei propri peccati. Amen.

The Church's ultimate trial 675 Before Christ's second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the "mystery of iniquity" in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.

Bergoglio achieved impunity for most of the homosexual predators he covered up in Argentina and prevented them from paying for their crimes in prison, including McCarrick, with the exception of two, Grassi and Zanchetta, although Bergoglio did everything possible to defend Grassi and paid two lawyers to defend Zanchetta, but this time he could not mock Justice. It should be noted that Bergoglio was the spiritual "director" of both, or, to put it bluntly, the corrupter of both homosexual predators, and note that despite having been convicted by Justice, he has not yet excommunicated either of those two homosexual predators.

1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

Cyprian of Carthage:
Of this same thing in the first book of Kings: "If a man sin by offending against a man, they shall pray the Lord for him; but if a man sin against God, who shall pray for him? "
George Leo Haydock: AD 1849 A sin unto death. Some understand this of final impenitence, or of dying in mortal sin, which is the only sin that never can be remitted; but, it is probable, he may also comprise under this name the sin of apostasy from the faith, and some other such heinous sins as are seldom and hardly remitted: and therefore he gives little encouragement to such as pray for these sinners, to expect what they ask.

Bishop Mtumbuka (Malawi) on Fiducia supplicans: “Our major concern with this declaration is that it looks to us like a heresy, it reads like a heresy and it affects heresy, because is asks us to bless two people of same sex, as individuals, but not as a couple, who the previous night sleep together like a couple, presented themselves to us as a couple, are blessed as individuals, but they leave our presence as a couple, they go to their home as a couple, they sleep in the same bed as a couple. But the document says they are not blessed as a couple, although they appear to have been blessed as couple. How could this not be changing the authentic teaching of the Church.”

We will recognize them by their fruits.

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)
