Hell, No!

Hell, No!

Here he goes again. It’s Lent. Time for Bergoglio to scandalize the Church and the world once again.

The Vatican’s New Age Freelancer in Chief chooses Lent and his 10th papal anniversary (10 years of our own Bergoglian hell)  to announce to the world that Hell is not a place but a “state of the heart and a “posture in life.”

 

What in the hell!

In another full throated effort to destroy the teachings of the Catholic Church, Bergoglio, the humble and merciful one,  boasts that “Hell is not a place— If one goes to attend the Last Judgment, and sees the faces of those who go to Hell, one gets scared. If you read Dante, you get scared. But these are media representations.”

“Eternal fire” doesn’t sound much like Bergoglio’s “state of heart or posture of life.”

Breaking news! Bergoglio proclaimed that (Wait for it)… the media is to blame for the depiction of hell as a horrible damnable place. More fake news? Who knew that CNN and the NY Times were publishing in the 1st century!

Did Bergoglio even attend a seminary, albeit a Jesuit one?

The Babylon Bee will enjoy a field day ridiculing this latest rant from Bergoglio—the skit will be entitled,  Is the pope Catholic?

There are 2 millennia of theological treatises on the existence of hell. Perhaps, Jorge Bergoglio, the Jesuit seminarian was too busy reading tracts on liberation theology and Marx and Engels. Did he skipped out on the lecture(s) on heaven and hell?  Or worse, does he not believe?

Apparently,  Fr. Bergoglio never bothered to read the  Seven Teachings on hell from St. Thomas Aquinas. Didn’t  Bergoglio, S.J. study the great Jesuit saint, Robert Bellarmine, who is also a Doctor of the Church, known for his 5 sermons on the Four Last Things at Louvain University? Bergoglio could learn a few things from Bellarmine’s treatise on hell where his fellow Jesuit brutally captures the horror of a place called hell:

Therefore, those wretches, bound hand and foot by eternal chains, will lie forever in the same place, deprived of the light of the sun, moon and stars, scorched by burning fire, weeping and lamenting and gnashing their teeth in their fury and despair.

Those who will be thrust down into that place full of horror will suffer not only the most terrible pain in the eternal fire, but also the absolute privation of all things, as well as shame and disgrace full of acute embarrassment and confusion.”

Moreover, is there a cleric at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith who might want to recite Article 5 “He Descended into Hell” of the Catechism of the Catholic Church to Bergoglio while he is tooling around Vatican City in his humble little Fiat. “Now, repeat after me, Holy Father, Christ descended into hell.”

Didn’t the 2013 Conclave Cardinals bother to ask,“Is there a Cardinal here in the Sistine Chapel who denies the existence of hell?” Granted, it’s a preposterous question. Yet, wouldn’t they want to ensure that a new pontiff believes in Catechism 101?

One would hope that attesting to the truths in Catholic Catechism might be a prerequisite for a candidate to the papacy—not much to ask from the papabile. Didn’t the 2013 Conclave Cardinals bother to ask,“Is there a Cardinal here in the Sistine Chapel who denies the existence of hell?” Granted, it’s a preposterous question. Yet, wouldn’t they want to ensure that a new pontiff believes in Catechism 101?

After all, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is replete with references to the existence of hell as a place of fire and damnation. Section 1035 underscores the required belief:

“The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell where they suffer the punishment of hell, eternal fire.”

“Eternal fire” doesn’t sound much like Bergoglio’s “state of heart or posture of life.”

Furthermore, Bergoglio’s assertion that ‘media representations’ are to blame is pathetically laughable. When did the Washington Post run an Op-Ed, Hell is a place of fire and brimstone?

So will the Catholic tenet of existence of HELL suffer the same Bergoglio hatchet job as the Death Penalty in the ash heap of the Catholic Catechism? Don’t be surprised now that Benedict has passed.

Lent is a time cordoned off on the Catholic calendar to focus on sin and repentance and to prepare for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Curiously, Bergoglio chooses Lent to deny one of the most fundamental tenets of the faith-the existence of hell.

This latest Bergoglio scandal attacks Our Lady of Fatima.

This latest Bergoglio scandal attacks Our Lady of Fatima. In 1917 in Portugal the Blessed Mother appeared to 3 shepherd children. This Church approved apparition highlights the urgent messages of Our Lady and the visions of the children. Primarily, the message of the existence of hell and salvation of souls weighed heavily on Our Blessed Mother. She taught the children the Fatima Prayer to be recited after every decade of the Rosary. Contrary to  Bergoglio’s latest pronouncement, the Blessed Mother was deeply concerned about the eternal damnation of souls. The Fatima Prayer is now an integral part of the recitation of the rosary:

Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us form the fires of hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.”

The Blessed Mother also showed the children a terrifying vision of hell. One of the visionaries, Lucia, described in detail the terrifying scene shown to her by the Blessed Mother:

“As Our Lady spoke these last words, she opened her hands once more, as she had done during the two previous months. The rays of light seemed to penetrate the earth, and we saw as it were a sea of fire. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form, like transparent burning embers, all blackened or burnished bronze, floating about in the conflagration, now raised into the air by the flames that issued from within themselves together with great clouds of smoke now falling back on every side like sparks in huge fires, without weight or equilibrium, amid shrieks and groans of pain and despair, which horrified us and made us tremble with fear. (It must have been this sight which caused me to cry out, as people say they heard me).

The demons could be distinguished by their terrifying and repellent likeness to frightful and unknown animals, black and transparent like burning coals. Terrified and as if to plead for succour, we looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.”

One couldn’t find a more graphic depiction of a place where souls are banished. Our Lady of Fatima, the Mother of God warned and showed the children, “you have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go.”

Surely, Pope Bergoglio read the Secrets of Fatima. Does he know better than the Blessed Mother?

Bergoglio should contemplate Dante Alighieri’s Inferno from Canto 3: "The darkest places of hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.”

Reflecting on the decade long hellish catastrophe of the Bergoglio papacy, one is reminded of the darkest place in Dante’s Inferno. Bergoglio should contemplate Dante Alighieri’s Inferno from Canto 3:

"The darkest places of hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.”

Sounds like someone who just celebrated 10 years in the Chair of Peter.
