“You shall have no other gods before Me.” "With these words God is commanding an exclusive relationship between Himself and His people. The command instructs Israel that God will not allow His people to have any gods in addition to Himself." Bob Deffinbaugh, Bible.org
CNS News . . . 'In an Oct. 28 blog post, Fr.Mennen criticized some of the pagan events that occurred at the Vatican during the Amazonian synod, such as the veneration of a wooden statue of an Earth goddess named "Pachamama" in the Vatican gardens.
Pope Francis holds the Pachamama Earth goddess statue in the Vatican gardens. |
. . . " 'Many Catholics from high to low have expressed their horror at the blatant violation of the first commandment," I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me, said Mennen.
" 'But the pope himself has now said that it was Pachamama, Mother Earth, the most important goddess of the Andean peoples," said Fr. Mennen. "He did so, incidentally, as a bishop of Rome, apologizing for the actions of a few courageous Catholics who had taken the Pachamama idols out of the church and thrown them into the Tiber [river]."
" 'The pope actively promotes Marxist liberation theology, which his predecessors condemned as non-Catholic," said Fr. Mennen. "Also, in the politics of Italy, he clearly takes a stand for the socialists and against Catholic politicians who want to regulate the flow of migrants."
" 'Left-wing globalist, pro-abortion politicians are invited to the synod and enter and leave the Vatican," said the priest. "Great faith in communism is also evident from the deal with the Chinese where loyal Catholics have been betrayed to the communist system despite the warnings of Cardinal Zen. ... This is all the deliberate work of Francis.' " . . .
Is Pope Francis a Heretic? . . . "Undoubtedly, many of the statements Pope Francis has made are ambiguous, and therefore troubling—for they can be interpreted in both an orthodox and a heterodox manner. What is most disconcerting is that erroneous interpretations, those contrary to the Church’s doctrinal and moral tradition, are often propounded by bishops and cardinals—those who want to implement misguided teaching within their dioceses and urge that they become the norm within their national jurisdictions.
