This Man’s Behavior Reaches a Littleness that Knows No Limits: Little Cruelties Delivered in Little Ways

09 Thursday Jun 2022

Microscopic cruelty is in some ways more cruel than great cruelty. Bergoglio’s behavior reminds me of the description of the possessed-by-satan Professor Weston in Perelandra, by C.S. Lewis. Lewis notes the devil really isn’t mainly the charming Mephistopheles type, but rather more often just a nonstop producer of unimaginative, banal evil.

The full story from Rorate Caeli below. They use the word “Pope” to describe Bergoglio. Not sure if that’s a typo:

Pope Mocks Roman Liturgical Art and Humiliates Sicilian Priests

 Sicily is almost a nation in itself, and Sacred Art and liturgical beauty have always flourished in that island, in times of Christian freedom. Much of the liturgical beauty of vestments has been preserved in Sicily and elsewhere in Italy since the invention of the 1969 New Mass, and it is still used.

So it was astonishing to hear Francis mocking both Sicilians and their vestments, as well as their grandparents in a meeting with Sicilian bishops and priests today:

More lace, but where are we? Sixty years after the Council! A little updating also in liturgical art, liturgical fashion! Yes, sometimes bringing some grandmother’s lace goes, but sometimes. It’s to pay homage to grandma, isn’t it?

It pays to repeat occasionally what I always have maintained: one must respect the office of the papacy and also the person who holds it. This does not preclude deploring any evil acts of such a person. And of course, no ridicule of an antipope seems out of line. Considering my views on the current situation, it puts me in a weird spot.

“YOU ARE THE ONES WHO ARE HAPPY; YOU WHO REMAIN WITHIN THE CHURCH BY YOUR FAITH, WHO HOLD FIRMLY TO THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE FAITH WHICH HAS COME DOWN TO YOU FROM APOSTOLIC TRADITION. AND IF AN EXECRABLE JEALOUSY HAS TRIED TO SHAKE IT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS, IT HAS NOT SUCCEEDED. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE BROKEN AWAY FROM IT IN THE PRESENT CRISIS. NO ONE, EVER, WILL PREVAIL AGAINST YOUR FAITH, BELOVED BROTHERS. AND WE BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL GIVE US OUR CHURCHES BACK SOME DAY.”
