Reading recently the most beautiful biography of Saint Francis of Assisi written by G. K. Chesterton, I thought about how we have been able to endure the nefarious pontificate of Francis. It is possible that the Lord sent him to test us in the faith and open our eyes, because truly the number and tenor of his displays of a faith foreign to Catholicism have been horrifying.

Following this reading, I would like to comment here on how the first pope to take the name of the saint of Assisi manipulated his figure to the point of making him unrecognizable, promoting the very opposite of what the saint of Assisi contributed, by God's grace, to the Church.

The fact that he already took the name makes it impossible to see his later manipulation of the Saint's work on repeated occasions as improvised; rather, it makes us realize that it was programmatic. This, in a person of the Argentine pope's shallowness, convinces me even more of something that has been on my mind for a while: the work of a preternatural intelligence, superior to the human, behind the synodal Church, the one that wants to put an end to tradition, empty the Church of its supernatural content, and turn it into an anthropocentric and anthropolatrous entity that follows the fashionable dictates of the world. And with this, I do not wish to insinuate anything, but to affirm what we all already know: that Satan attacks the Church, although we have been promised that the gates of hell will not prevail. But Satan also attacks and tempts each of the souls of the baptized, from the simplest to the highest hierarchs, to lead us away from God and towards eternal perdition. And many fall, even believing they are doing good to the Church and to souls.

I would like to focus on three aspects in which Pope Bergoglio manipulated the figure of Saint Francis for deceptive purposes for the baptized:

1.-The Encyclical Laudato Si

Laudato Si appeared in May 2015, just two years after the start of Francis's pontificate. This is how Christopher Rice of the Laudato Si Movement would summarize it in 2022: “Laudato Si is an encyclical by Pope Francis that focuses on the care of the natural environment and of all people, as well as broader issues of the relationship between God, human beings, and the earth. The subtitle of the encyclical, ‘Care for Our Common Home,’ reinforces these key themes (...). Laudato Si is addressed ‘to every person living on this planet’ (LS 3). Therefore, it is offered as part of an ongoing dialogue within the Catholic Church and between Catholics and the world at large.”

The document refers to «ecological conversion,» alleged human-caused «climate change,» «development,» «sustainable environment,» the «cry of the earth,» and «oligopolies.» It clearly shows a pontificate concerned with the environmentalist issues that have become a «contemporary dogma,» a revolutionary movement led by declared enemies of the Church such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, George Soros, Gidom Bromborge, and Daniel Rosenfeld, among others. Observe the common denominator in the surnames. The economic benefits of environmentalism are incalculable.

The anti-Christian Agenda 2030, of which climate catastrophism is a part, has been fully embraced and promoted by the Holy See since the beginning of Francis's pontificate, as we can also painfully observe in the support for the Islamic invasions of all of Europe.

In July 2022, Archbishop Gabriele Giordano Caccia, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the UN, delivered a copy of the encyclical to the UN Secretary-General on behalf and in representation of the State of Vatican City, stating that it adheres to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Innumerable are the days, movements, and even «years» dedicated to this encyclical and the new environmentalist dogma in the synodal church.

However, the Church should here apply the saying “cobbler, stick to your last,” as many scientists of various nationalities led by the Clintel Foundation have already debunked the entire «scaffolding» erected to create unfounded «climate terrorism,» as they call it. These more than two thousand specialized scientists have declared in a public document that “there is no climate emergency.” Other authors and researchers have joined this rejection due to the inaccurate statements devoid of any scientific proof enunciated in Laudate Si and its continuation, Laudate Deum, where it is stated that the alleged «climate damage» has been produced by human beings.

In reality, the synodal Church, since Laudato Si, is not concerned with ecology but with environmentalism, a nefarious and anti-Christian ideology that implies population regulation. Paradoxically, this tacit approval of population control occurs alongside the obsession with the infinite dignity of the human being, another increasingly recurring theme in the synodal Church, with an approach alien to ecclesial tradition. The evident displacement of God from the center of the Church's life and message towards the human being only confirms the grave crisis of faith in which we find ourselves, and which Benedict XVI spoke of very clearly; a church whose messages and actions are based on anthropocentrism (if not anthropolatry) and naturalism (or immanentism; the silencing of any hint of supernaturality) currently dominant in the ecclesiastical hierarchy, which occupies the space left by extinguished faith.

With Laudato Si, Francis began to manipulate and caricature the figure and message of Saint Francis of Assisi, presenting him as the model par excellence of «care for creation» and «integral ecology.»

The very title of the encyclical comes from the Canticle of the Creatures, which led the Poverello of Assisi to recognize that God is the Father of all creation. One of its stanzas reads:

Praised be You, my Lord,with all Your creatures,especially Sir Brother Sun,who brings the day and enlightens us.

Therefore, it is the Lord who is praised in all His creatures, not the creatures themselves endowed with personalist traits they do not possess. After some natural disaster, Pope Francis even stated on television that the earth was “kicking.” There is obviously no comparison between Saint Francis of Assisi praising his Lord and a Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church promoting environmentalism and the «care of the common home,» a concept totally alien to ecclesial tradition, which has always spoken, like Saint Francis, of God's «creation» and «creatures.»

On October 4, 2023, Pope Francis published the second part of Laudato Si, Laudate Deum. In this exhortation, the pontiff considered integral ecology and environmental issues to be a true «global social problem» related to the dignity of human life. He firmly believed that alleged anthropogenic climate change is «one of the main challenges facing the global community.»

2.-Dialogue with Islam

The very word «dialogue,» a talisman of the synodal church for introducing relativism and doubt into the Catholic faith, is already very dangerous per se. But on the matter of dialogue with Islam, the Argentine pope deceived us by selling us that his trip to the United Arab Emirates in 2019 to meet with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar was analogous to Saint Francis of Assisi's visit to the Sultan of Egypt to dialogue with him.

Let's see. From the very beginning of his foundation of an order of mendicant friars, Saint Francis of Assisi made preaching to the infidels (that is, to Muslims) for their conversion one of his priorities. Not only to pagans, but also to Muslims. In the chapter of 1219, it was decided to send some friars to the infidel lands of North Africa. Francis, for his part, had set off for the East. This is a very well-documented story. For long months, Francis remained among the crusaders, where his apostolate initially had marvelous results. He was considered inspired by God. In the camp, he proposed nothing less than to go and visit the infidels themselves. Most of the warriors burst into laughter: speaking of charity and fraternity to those Moors, who had just announced that for every Christian head cut off, the fortunate victor would receive a gold bezant, was madness and provocation. The authoritarian Cardinal Pelagius, who had just arrived with reinforcements, did not hide from Francis that this was also his opinion. He did not dare to forbid him the undertaking, knowing that he enjoyed a good reputation in Rome, but he openly refused any responsibility.

The Poverello of Assisi took another friar with him and headed towards the enemy lines, chanting the verses of Psalm XXII: «Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.» Of course, as soon as they saw the two friars, the Muslims fell upon them, striking them hard. «Sultan! Sultan!» cried Francis with all his might. The guards believed they were emissaries and, properly chained, took them to their camp. Whereupon, when questioned, the good saint replied with all simplicity that he wished to see the Sultan to explain to him the doctrine of Christ.

Curious and somewhat skeptical, the Sultan of Egypt did not dislike discussing with a Christian scholar about the comparative merits of the Quran and the Gospel. Therefore, he ordered these unexpected envoys to be presented to him. To demonstrate to the Sultan the dazzling superiority of his God, Francis proposed to undergo a test: «Let them light a great bonfire! The three priests and I will enter it, and, by what happens, you yourself will realize which of the two religions is the holier, the truer.» It was very difficult for the Sultan to convince him that, as the chief of the believers in Islam, it was difficult for him to be baptized, and he had him escorted back to the crusaders' camp with the utmost respect.

Thus was the dialogue of Saint Francis of Assisi with the Sultan of Egypt. Pope Bergoglio, Francis I, on the other hand, signed a “Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together,” which began: “In the name of God who has created all human beings equal in rights, duties, and dignity, and has called them to live side by side as brothers and sisters, to populate the earth and spread throughout it the values of good, charity, and peace (...)”.

The first question that arises is, to which God are they referring? Are they saying that the God of Catholics and the God of Muslims are the same, a God of all the human species?

The event and the lie were already exposed at the time; but it is worth remembering, for those who may not have learned or have forgotten. If only because the «dialogue» as Francis and Leo preach and practice it has nothing to do with how Catholicism has historically tolerated other false religions.

3.-The Encyclical Fratelli Tutti

This encyclical was the result in 2020 of the aforementioned meeting in the previous year between Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, and it saw the light of day on October 3, 2020, on the eve of the commemoration of Saint Francis of Assisi. One of the many displays of Bergoglian wicked sense of humor, at the expense of the Church. The encyclical appeared titled in Italian and not in Latin, as was the norm of the Church (until Leo XIV changed it).

The Pope confirmed that the encyclical was inspired by the February 2019 meeting with Grand Imam Ahmad al-Tayyed in Abu Dhabi, and also inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi, as well as by numerous non-Catholic leaders, including Martin Luther King, Desmond Tutu, and Mahatma Gandhi.

In Fratelli Tutti, known in various Catholic circles as tutti frutti, the Pope basically proposes an ideal world of relativistic and pantheistic fraternity where all religions and beliefs are on the same level, where all countries can be part of a «larger human family.»

It is enough to see what was said about it from the Grand Orient lodge in Spain to understand what this encyclical, so attached to the spirit of the council and its synodal fruits, conveys: “300 years ago, Modern Masonry was born. The great principle of this initiatory school has not changed in three centuries: the construction of a universal fraternity where all human beings call each other brothers beyond their specific creeds, ideologies, skin color, etc. This fraternal dream clashed with religious fundamentalism which, in the case of the Catholic Church, produced harsh texts condemning tolerance of Masonry in the 19th century. Pope Francis's latest encyclical shows how far the current Church is from its former positions. In ‘Fratelli Tutti,’ the Pope embraces universal fraternity, the great principle of modern Freemasonry.”

Again, the only inspiration from Saint Francis of Assisi seems to be the title, based on a manipulation: «Fratelli tutti» («Brothers all») is the phrase Saint Francis of Assisi used to address his brothers and sisters and propose a life based on the Gospel. It is taken from his Admonitions (specifically, Admonitions, 6:1: FF 155). Saint Francis of Assisi was speaking to his Franciscan brothers, and that is why he said “Fratelli tutti”: “Let us consider, all you brothers, the good Shepherd who suffered the passion of the cross to save his sheep. The sheep of the Lord followed Him in tribulation and persecution and humiliation, in hunger and thirst, in weakness and temptation, and in all else.”

It is obvious that Saint Francis of Assisi was not referring to any supposed universal fraternity.

Sometimes one wonders how we could have endured Francis's pontificate, so anti-Catholic as it was. Perhaps it was due to surprise and disbelief at such audacity, such disobedience to God, such contempt for the Church. Non-Catholics and anti-Catholics saw it much more clearly from the outset, and applauded him, until they got tired and ignored him. It is enough to refer to the words cited from the Grand Orient lodge upon the publication of Fratelli Tutti: “Pope Francis's latest encyclical shows how far the current Church is from its former positions.”

In reality, it is not the Catholic Church that is far from its former positions; it is the synodal church they are trying to establish that is trying with all its might to make a tabula rasa and destroy the Church of Christ, erasing everything that for two thousand years the Church believed, prayed, and preached.
