NB: This article focuses solely on Pope Francis who is a very bad pope, but ignores or downplays the destructive role of the previous Conciliar popes, particularly Pope Paul VI who persecuted anyone who didn't abide by his modernist changes. Nonetheless, it is an interesting commentary.

NB: By referring to traditionalists as a 'dead' part of the Conciliar Church the not-so-subtle implication is that 'dead' branch must be cut off. All this is likely signaling the Pope's continued path of slowly and steadily removing any and all vestiges of traditionalism within the Conciliar Church. The assaults on the indult communities will continue ...

• “The magisterium of today is not sufficient by itself to be called Catholic unless it is the transmission of the Deposit of Faith, that is, of Tradition. A new magisterium without roots in the past, and all the more if it is opposed to the magisterium of all times, can only be schismatic and heretical. The permanent will to annihilate Tradition is a suicidal will, which justifies, by its very existence, true and faithful Catholics when they make the decision necessary for the survival of the Church and the salvation of souls. Our Lady of Fatima, I am sure, blesses this final appeal in this 70th anniversary of her apparitions and messages. May you not be for a second time deaf to her appeal.” (Archbishop Lefebvre, July 8, 1987, Excerpt from the Letter of Archbishop Lefebvre to Cardinal Ratzinger)
  
  
• “It is imperative to know that today Rome is at the service of the revolution and therefore terribly anti-traditional. That is why I refused to put myself in their hands. ...  All those who have left us are not aware of the situation and believe in the good will and the rectitude of thought of the bishops or cardinals in Rome. Nothing is further from the truth! ‘It is not possible for them to lead us into the revolution,’ say those who agree with the Pope and his bishops. Well, that is exactly what will happen.” (Archbishop Lefebvre, Interview for Controverses, 1989)
  

Pope Francis: Moral and liturgical ‘traditionalism’ in the Church is part of a ‘dead memory’
Pope Francis proclaimed that ‘the Church is either synodal or it is not Church.’

Quote:When one says “synodal Church” the expression is redundant: the Church is either synodal or it is not Church. That is why we have come to a synod on synodality, to reiterate this.

Quote:Tradition is the life of those who have gone before us and who go on. Traditionalism is their dead memory. From root to fruit, in short, that is the way. We must take the origin as a reference, not a particular historical experience taken as a perpetual model, as if we had to stop there. “Yesterday it was done like this” becomes “it always has been done like this.” But this is a paganism of thought!

an event which Pope Francis said ‘enriches us with our differences.’

Quote:News: I’m happy to share with you this warm letter from Pope Francis, received this morning, in response to our mailing him a copy of the Outreach 2022 brochure. We’re grateful to the Holy Father for his support and his prayers. English translation here: https://t.co/NT5AjHFhqE pic.twitter.com/G42mJVpIAP

Quote:Dear Brother,

Thank you for the letter you sent me a few weeks ago together with the brochure “Outreach 2022.” Congratulations for having been able to make this year’s event happen in person.

I am aware that the most valuable thing is not what appears in the brochures and photos, but what happened in the interpersonal meetings. In fact, the pandemic made us look for alternatives to shorten the distances. It also taught us that there are things that are irreplaceable, among them being able to look at each other “face to face,” even with those who think differently or with whom differences seem to separate and even confront us. When we overcome those barriers, we realize that there is more that unites us than what keeps us apart.

I encourage you to continue working in the culture of encounter, which shortens distances and enriches us with our differences, just as Jesus did, who made himself close to everyone.

I assure you of my prayers. Do not stop praying for me. May Jesus bless you and the Holy Virgin watch over you.

Fraternally, Francisco

Pope Francis on the Church’s ban of birth control: Morality is ‘always on a path of development’
Pope Francis' comments appear to lend further credence to speculation that he might soon issue an encyclical overturning the Church's ban on contraception.

Quote:You cannot do theology with a ‘no’ in front of it. Then it is up to the Magisterium to say no, you’ve gone too far, come back, but theological development must be open, that’s what theologians are for. And the Magisterium must help to understand the limits.

During the flight back to Rome from #Canada, @Pontifex was asked if the Church’s ban on contraception could be “reconsidered.”

Instead of saying, “No,” he distorted St. Vincent of Lérins’ (5th cen.) teaching on doctrinal development and denigrated Trads: https://t.co/jiwN1TLoEI pic.twitter.com/wxWIYOSwNI

Quote:On the issue of contraception, I know there is a publication out on this and other marital issues: these are the acts of a congress, and in a congress, there are hypotheses, then they discuss among themselves and make proposals.

Quote:We have to be clear: those who participated in this congress did their duty, because they have sought to move forward in doctrine, but in an ecclesial sense, not out of it, as I said with that rule of St. Vincent of Lerins.

Quote:Tradition is the living faith of those who have died. Instead, for those people who are looking backward, who call themselves traditionalists, it is the dead faith of the living. Tradition is truly the root, the inspiration by which to go forward in the Church, and this is always vertical.

Quote:“We want the public to reduce the use of cash money,” Tamar Bracha, who's responsible for carrying out the law for Israel’s Tax Authority, told The Media Line.

“The goal is to reduce cash fluidity in the market, mainly because crime organizations tend to rely on cash. By limiting the use of it, criminal activity is much harder to carry out.”

Quote:There are some exemptions to the new law: charitable institutions, which are most common in ultra-Orthodox society; and trade with Palestinians from the West Bank, who are not citizens of Israel. In the case of the latter, deals including large amounts of cash will be allowed, yet they will require a detailed report to Israel’s Tax Authority.

• Started technical trials for a central bank digital currency, which could help eradicate cash and maximize control
  
• Implemented digital vaccination passports that helped bar the unvaxxed -- including those who were unboosted -- from participating in various aspects of life.
  
• Maintained a controversial database storing the biometric data of millions of citizens.
  
• Joined a group of eight countries working toward development of "digital identities."
  
• Aggressively implemented facial recognition programs.
