African Cardinal: "It is a false exegeis to use the word of God to defend migration"

The Church in Africa is among the most conservative in all of Christendom.

quote:

Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, has said that defending migration was a misinterpretation of Gospels by priests and bishops “bewitched” by political and social issues.

His interview with the French magazine 'Valeurs Actuelles' appeared last weekend, around the same time as Pope Francis spoke up for migrants during his visit to Morocco and said politicians who build walls to keep them out would become prisoners of those barriers.

“It is better to help people flourish in their culture than to encourage them to come to a Europe in full decadence,” he said. “It is a false exegesis to use the word of God to promote migration. God never wanted these heartbreaks.”

yep. scripture says to obey laws. illegals are disobeying those man made laws. times change as do immigration and national security issues. nations have to look out for themselves. The globalists don't want any borders. francis cannot be replaced soon enough. far too many in many churches now putting in their political and social views/opinions instead of just talk about teachings of the church and scripture.

That’s a point I never considered. What if it is God’s will for that person to suffer in this life if it means it will help him possess eternal life?
God might know the temptations of life in the New world will cause the person to sin and err from the path.
“What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul.”

I knew it was Cardinal Sarah before I clicked on the thread. He would be a great Pope.

Cardinal Bob made sure he's never going to sniff the Papacy.

I would love to see Cardinal Sarah become Pope. It is time for an African pope.

He’s right.

It’s also the reason why US Aide to developing countries needs to be tied to some form of incentive for the ruling government to use in a way that sparks economic growth that builds upon itself.

Maybe attach caveats and conditions that the aide is to be used to temporarily subsidize the formation of businesses and the rest on infrastructure.

If the US money isn’t used in a way that helps create jobs and a viable economy it’s just wasteful.

The exception would be if the US gained access to utilize that country for military purposes should the need arise and/or station troops, armor and whatever else at military bases in those countries.

We may need to do more of this last one. China has been, and it’s working for them.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Is the Catholic Church overall too far gone? Or would they come back to reality?

Not Catholic but many posters here have kept us informed on their churches "bending the knee" to progressivism.

Any insight would be appreciated, as I have been bothered by recent shifts within Catholicism.

I’d be happy with any non-Jesuit, non-communist, non-globalist Pope. The prophesies of Saint Malachy have the current pope being the last pope — ever.

Pope John Paul I was murdered by Jesuits the night before he was to issue a declaration that the Jesuit order must perform a complete 180, abandon all current beliefs and return to Catholic teachings and immediately cease aiding and abetting Marxists, or else he would disband the entire order of The Society of Jesus and excommunicate any members who remained loyal to Jesuit teachings and/or politics.

Close advisor to Pope John XXIII, and former Jesuit Priest Malachi Martin believed that to be the case anyway. Being familiar with Martin’s writings and interviews, he is quite credible IMHO. Martin left the order because he was appalled by “liberation theology,” which is what Jesuits call the Satanic philosophy better known as Secular Humanism.

quote:

Here is another quote from Jesuit author Malachi Martin:

"On the basis of Paul VI's critical dossier, and with the help of a very experienced old Jesuit, Father Paolo Dezza, who had been Confessor to Pope Paul VI and now was John Paul I's confessor, the Pope composed a hard-hitting speech of warning. He planned to deliver it to the international assembly of Jesuit leaders and Father General Arrupe at another of their General Congregations to be held in Rome on September 30, 1978.

One of the striking features of his speech was John Paul I's repeated reference to doctrinal deviations on the part of Jesuits. "Let it not happen that the teachings and publications of Jesuits contain anything to cause confusion among the faithful." Doctrinal deviation was for him the most ominous symptom of Jesuit failure.

Veiled beneath the polished veneer of its graceful romanita, that speech contained a clear threat: the Society would return to its proper and assigned role, or the Pope would be forced to take action. What action? From John Paul's memoranda and notes, it is clear that, unless a speedy reform of the Order proved feasible, he had in mind the effective liquidation of the Society of Jesus as it is today
—perhaps to be reconstituted later in a more manageable form.

John Paul I had received the petitions of many Jesuits, pleading with him to do just that. The Pope never delivered that speech of warning. On the morning of September 29, after thirty-three days on the Throne of Peter, and one day before he was to address the Society's General Congregation, John Paul I was found dead in bed." (Martin, The Jesuits, p. 44). LINK


So the night before he was to issue an ultimatum to the Jesuits that they abandon Satanic philosophies and Marxists ideals, their entire order would be disbanded with all who were loyal to the order excommunicated, he “just happened” to die.

Now we have a Jesuit Pope, and an accurate (to date) prophetic list of Popes ends with the current one. The one belonging to an order that preaches Satanism and Marxism as it’s two primary tenets.

So yeah, any Pope beyond the current one who isn’t another Jesuit or the Antichrist would be a win in my book.


ETA: Pope John Paul II was shot three different times at point blank range. Some believe Jesuits were responsible for one or more of those shootings, although the Soviets were blamed by most at the time. The irony is that the Jesuits and Soviets were one in the same, with Russia having provided them safe haven the first time their order was expelled from the Church. This is likely where they adopted communist and specifically Marxist ideology.

Some of the greatest Christan minds came from Africa: Origen, Althanasius, Augustine, and Tertullian just to name a few.

I just hope there’s another Pope and that whoever it is isn’t a Jesuit.
