WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

I doubt not then but innocence shall make false accusation blush, and tyranny tremble at patience.

Father Bux calls out "a shameless falsification".

Fr. Nicola Bux, former consulter to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, weighs in on the Fiducia fiasco and the incremental attempts to insert confused teaching into the Church.

Readers should take note of the clarity of Father Bux's challenge. Such precision and faithfulness to Tradition is an example that all Catholic clergy should practice. All clergy - from priests to popes.

Excerpt from:

Infine, conviene affermare che la benedizione, in ebraico berakah, quale atto spirituale e sacro, fa memoria, loda la presenza di Dio e intercede, affinché la sua potenza discenda sulla persona o sull’oggetto e li santifichi; presenza e discesa possono essere ricondotte rispettivamente a Cristo e allo Spirito Santo: come, nei sacramenti, l’anamnesi e l’epiclesi. La benedizione nutre ed esprime la fede, attraverso il segno di croce e l’aspersione dell’acqua benedetta. La benedizione è un sacramentale, cioè una estensione della grazia del sacramento, che per essere ricevuta esige la buona disposizione a ricevere l’effetto principale del sacramento a cui è ordinato (cfr. Catechismo della Chiesa Cattolica, a. 1667).

Finally, it is worth stating that the blessing, in Hebrew berakah, as a spiritual and sacred act, commemorates, praises the presence of God and intercedes, so that his power descends on the person or object and sanctifies them; presence and descent can be traced back respectively to Christ and the Holy Spirit: as, in the sacraments, anamnesis and epiclesis. The blessing nourishes and expresses faith, through the sign of the cross and the sprinkling of holy water. The blessing is a sacramental, that is, an extension of the grace of the sacrament, which to be received requires a good disposition to receive the main effect of the sacrament to which it is ordered (see Catechism of the Catholic Church, a. 1667).

Premesso che la benedizione non è compatibile con uno stato di peccato – non si può benedire ciò che disgrega, consuma, distrugge – a quale sacramento è ordinata la benedizione di una coppia irregolare? Non è vero che la benedizione non promuove e non giustifica nulla, perché essa promuove implicitamente gli “atti disordinati” e la pseudo unione. Nel testo di Fiducia Supplicans, ricorre esplicitamente sette volte l’espressione “benedizioni di coppie dello stesso sesso”: ma di uno stesso sesso non esiste coppia, perché sono simili, e i simili fanno un paio, non una coppia.

Given that the blessing is not compatible with a state of sin - one cannot bless what disintegrates, consumes, destroys - to which sacrament is the blessing of an irregular couple ordered? It is not true that the blessing does not promote or justify anything, because it implicitly promotes "disorderly acts" and pseudo-union. In the text of Fiducia Supplicans, the expression "blessings of same-sex couples" explicitly occurs seven times: but there is no same-sex couple, because they are similar, and similar ones make a pair, not a couple.

Dunque, non esiste una benedizione che non sia liturgica, quando è fatta da un ministro ordinato, che esercita il munus sanctificandi con e nella sacra liturgia, a nome della Chiesa. L’articolo di Vatican News, dunque, è ingannevole e costituisce una spudorata falsificazione, forse con l’intento di piacere a corte.

Therefore, there is no blessing that is not liturgical, when it is done by an ordained minister, who exercises the munus sanctificandi with and in the sacred liturgy, in the name of the Church. The Vatican News article (CLICK HERE), therefore, is deceptive and constitutes a shameless falsification, perhaps with the intention of pleasing the court.

Excerpt from:

“The drama of the Church today is the separation of the pastoral from doctrine, that is, of love from truth,” Father Bux says. “And we are paying dearly for it, as John Paul II predicted.

“Pope Francis should cancel Fiducia Supplicans and replace the prefect with a man of ‘sure, sound and pure doctrine,’ to use the Apostle’s words to Titus.”

POPE LEO XIV Magnifica Humanitas

Even in the darkest nights, the Lord raises up men and women who refuse to give up, who persevere in doing good, who protect the vulnerable and open pathways to reconciliation. The memory of the saints, righteous people and the oft-forgotten peacemakers, show us that grace does not magically eliminate conflict, but instead it inspires active resistance to evil and an astonishing creativity in doing good” (paragraph 211).

THOMAS SOWELL

Ours may become the first civilization destroyed, not by the power of our enemies, but by the ignorance of our teachers and the dangerous nonsense they are teaching our children. In an age of artificial intelligence, they are creating artificial stupidity.

PSALM 6

Depart from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping. The Lord has heard my supplication; the Lord accepts my prayer. All my enemies shall be ashamed and sorely troubled; they shall turn back, and be put to shame in a moment.
