 THE MINDS OF ST. PIO AND OUR  JESUIT POPE FRANCIS

IN PURSUIT OF THE TRUTH - HTTP://WWW.CINOPSBEGONEBLOGSPOT.COM - FRIDAY, NOV. 24, 2017

PREFACE: THE CRUX OF THE PROBLEM WITH CATHOLIC-IN-NAME ONLY POLITICIANS AND POPE FRANCIS'S "AMORIS LAETITIA" IS THE RECEPTION OF HOLY COMMUNION. HOW SACRED IS IT TO YOUR CATHOLIC FAITH? THE SILENCE AND NO PUBLIC CONDEMNATION BY A MAJORITY OF THE US. CATHOLIC BISHOPS FOR DECADES IN THIS MATTER OF THE "CINOP" RECEIVING "THE BLESSED SACRAMENT" IS A DEEP TRAGEDY FOR THE AMERICAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. ALL OF THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT  "AMORIS LAETITIA." IT ALSO DOESN'T MEET THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY STANDARD OF ST. POPE JOHN PAUL'S "VERITAS SPLENDOR."

HERE ARE SOME THOUGHTS OF ST. PIO ON THE EUCHARIST AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE DEVIL WHICH THE HEAD OF THE WORLD'S JESUIT ORDER BELIEVES NOT TO EXIST.

A. "ON ONE OCCASSION PADRE PIO WROTE PADRE BENEDETTO HIS SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR, "THAT WHICH HURTS ME MOST, DEAR FATHER, IS THE THOUGHT OF JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. MY HEARTS FEELS ITSELF BEING ATTRACTED BY A SUPERIOR FORCE BEFORE IT UNITES ITSELF TO HIM IN THE MORNING IN HOLY COMMUNION. I HUNGER AND THIRST SO MUCH BEFORE RECEIVING HIM THAT I ALMOST DIE OF ANXIOUSNESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN I CANNOT UNITE MYSELF WITH HIM BECAUSE OF ILL HEALTH. I AM FORCED TO GO AND EAT HIS FLESH.

THIS HUNGER AND THIRST KEEPS INCREASING MORE AND MORE, RATHER THAN REMAINING SATISFIED AFTER I HAVE RECEIVED HIM IN THE SACRAMENT.

IN THESE LETTERS WE HAVE THE TOUCHSTONE OF THE MAN'S AUTHENTICITY, HIS PASSION FOR JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. THIS WAS THE CORE OF HIS PERSONAL SPIRITUALITY AND THE DRIVING FORCE OF HIS MINISTRY. "WHAT IS THIS FIRE WHICH BURNS MY WHOLE BEING? FATHER MINE, IF JESUS MAKES US SO HAPPY ON EARTH WHAT WILL HEAVEN BE LIKE?

ON APRIL 18, 1912, HE PENNED ANOTHER LETTER WHICH REVEALS HIS INTIMACY WITH GOD: "AT THE END OF MASS I STAYED A WHILE WITH JESUS TO GIVE THANKS. OH, HOW SWEET WAS THE CONVERSATION WITH PARADISE THIS MORNING..." P. 40, "PADRE PIO" BY REV. JOHN A. SCHUG, CAPUCHIN, 9TH PRINTING,1995, "NAT. CTR. FOR PADRE PIO, INC." PARTO, PA, 19504 - 610-845-3000

B. Let us refer to Pope Francis's spokesman Thomas J. Reese S.J. in "America" - The Jesuit Review of Faith and Culture, Nov. 13, 2017. This Jesuit was an Associate Editor (1978-85) and editor in chief (1998-2005). Then, he became a columnist for "National Catholic Reporter",  in (2015-2017) a dissident Catholic news source: His article, "Family Counseling 'Amoris Laetitia' teaches the Church to listen.'

"Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation "The Joy of Love"(Amoris Laetitia)", the product of the pope's thinking after two synods of bishops on the topic of the family ... came out in 2016. Much of the coverage was focused on the documents opening in Chapter 8 to the possibility for divorced and remarried Catholics who had not received an annulment of their first marriage to receive communion."

Here are a couple of sentences from LifeSiteNews, Mon. Nov. 20, 2017, "The radically different beliefs of Father James Martin and Fr. Weinandy highlight the crisis in the Church."

"Fr. Martin subscribes to what might be called 'gay liberation theology,' through which he interprets scripture - and more broadly, all church teaching - in light of the LGBT experience. He sees Catholicism through an LGBT prism and speaks in an LGBT tongue, presenting an LGBT-infused. This is a gospel foreign to most Catholic ears. To many same-sex Catholics  like me, it is not only foreign; it rings untrue."
