“Confessional states end badly,” the Pontiff said in an interview with Guillaume Goubert, director of French Roman Catholic newspaper La Croix. “I believe that secularism accompanied by a strong law which guarantees religious freedom provides a framework for moving forward.”
In other words, 8 years ago, our Pope of Surprises was already making war on the heroes of the anti-Modernist counterrevolution. Francis knew full well what the great St. Pius X (who was actually humble, by the way) had said in Vehementer Nos on this question:
"That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error. Based, as it is, on the principle that the State must not recognize any religious cult, it is in the first place guilty of a great injustice to God; for the Creator of man is also the Founder of human societies, and preserves their existence as He preserves our own. We owe Him, therefore, not only a private cult, but a public and social worship to honor Him..."
Saint Pius is yet another one of those rigorist doctors of the law that Francis so enjoys maligning. And besides, what did he know about mercy!
At any rate, the Revolution has come full circle, with Peter himself making common cause with the freemasons and their secularist creed so thoroughly condemned by the popes of yesterday.
Before he’s done, the God of Surprises will have condemned the Mystical Body of Christ to death on a new cross, much to the cheers of the builders of the New World Order.
