The Excommunication of a Bishop

It appears #FakePope #Francis has ordered the excommunication of Msgr. Carlo Maria Viganò, one of the few Catholic prelates to openly stand against the #FakePope’s #satanic rule of the converged #Roman #CatholicChurch:

The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has informed me, with a simple email, of the initiation of an #extrajudicial penal trial against me, with the accusation of having committed the #crime of #schism and charging me of having denied the #legitimacy of “Pope Francis” of having #broken #communion “with Him” and of having #rejected the #SecondVaticanCouncil. I have been summoned to the Palace of the Holy Office on June 20, in person or represented by a canon lawyer. I assume that the sentence has already been prepared, given that it is an extrajudicial process.

I regard the accusations against me as an #honor. I believe that the very wording of the charges confirms the theses that I have repeatedly defended in my various addresses. It is no coincidence that the accusation against me concerns the questioning of the legitimacy of #JorgeMarioBergoglio and the rejection of #Vatican-II: the Council represents the ideological, theological, moral, and liturgical cancer of which the Bergoglian “synodal church” is the necessary metastasis.

It is necessary for the #Episcopate, the #Clergy and the People of God to seriously ask themselves whether it is consistent with the profession of the #Catholic #Faith to passively witness the systematic destruction of the #Church by its leaders, just as other subversives are destroying civil society… In the face of the Dicastery’s accusations, I claim, as Successor of the Apostles, to be in full communion with the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church, with the Magisterium of the Roman Pontiffs, and with the uninterrupted doctrinal, moral, and liturgical Tradition which they have faithfully preserved.

I repudiate the neomodernist errors inherent in the Second Vatican Council and in the so-called “post-conciliar magisterium,” in particular in matters of collegiality, ecumenism, religious freedom, the secularity of the State, and the liturgy.

I repudiate, reject, and condemn the scandals, errors, and heresies of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who manifests an absolutely tyrannical management of power, exercised against the purpose that legitimizes Authority in the Church: an authority that is vicarious of that of #Christ, and as such must obey Him alone. This separation of the #Papacy from its legitimizing principle, which is Christ the High Priest, transforms the ministerium into a self-referential tyranny.

No Catholic worthy of the name can be in communion with this “Bergoglian church,” because it acts in clear discontinuity and rupture with all the Popes of history and with the Church of Christ.

This makes me wish I was a #RomanCatholic so I could be officially #excommunicated from the #synagogue of #Satan that presently occupies the #Vatican. I absolutely deny the legitimacy of “Pope Francis” and I definitely deny the Second Vatican Council.

A Renaissance of Ruling Elders in the #Presbyterian Church in America

One of the most outstanding features of my denomination is the parity of it's lay leaders with the clergy. We have seen what happens in every field of endeavor when the people get lazy and decide to "leave it to the experts" to handle. We left education to teachers and look at the result now, for example. Kids being confused, groomed, and even mutilated by these "experts." When a #church decides to "leave #theology to the experts," the results become every bit as absurd as the public schools have - and with eternal consequences.

In the #PCA, we distinguish between "lay elders" and "clergy" by calling the #clergy "Teaching Elders" and lay leaders "Ruling Elders." The Bible makes no such distinction between Elders at all. of course. But we need to distinguish them somehow, and this way made sense to the founders of the PCA. I'm okay with it as long as the parity is maintained: #Pastors and lay Elders (Teaching Elders and Ruling Elders, if you will) are equal in "rank" and authority in PCA churches. But over the years (we just had our 50th General Assembly) churches have gotten lazy and increasingly have left matters of faith and practice to "the experts." You know, the ones who went to divinity school and got all that fancy book learnin'. Now even the once stalwart PCA has had a four-year struggle with matters as obviously immoral, unbiblical, and shameful as homosexual acts among it's members and leaders.

That has finally got the attention of the laid-back Ruling Elders, who are returning in greater numbers now to Presbytery and General Assembly meetings to counter the trends brought on by past neglect of the "Ruling Elders." It's nice to see it! And I hope it isn't too late.

An investigation by journalists has revealed that the Russian Ministry of Emergencies is passing on information on deportees to the #clergy, who then find placements for them in churches, monasteries and convents.
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of #Ukraine, the Ministry has been emailing reports on the occupied territories and deportations of Ukrainians to the Russian Orthodox #Church’s Synodal Department for Charitable #Work. The Ministry also provides the clergy with daily reports on the progress of #military action in the occupied territories of Ukraine and on the numbers of Ukrainians being forcibly deported, the routes by which they are being transported, and their time of arrival in #Russia.
The relevant emails from the Church’s charitable arm were forwarded to the journalists by hackers from #Anonymous and #DDoSecrets.
