BFP Luther Defense - Vigano Should Be Honored by Francis (not prosecuted)

ews this week that Tucchio Kissio, the Prefect for some new curial office erstwhile known as Doctrine and Faith, you know, the guy that wrote the “Theology of Kissing” and is trying to emulate the “porno theologians” of the 70s, as Fr. Cornelio Fabrio called them… So Smoochio has exercised the power given him by Francis to haul Vigano into court.

General news report at LifeSite.

Last June, Pope Francis went so far as to praise Luther — once deemed a heretic by the Catholic Church — as a great reformer.

On his flight back to Rome from Armenia, the pope told reporters: "The church was not a role model, there was corruption, there was worldliness, there was greed, and lust for power. He protested against this. And he was an intelligent man."

Oct 16, 2016 NPR report on Pope Francis praising Martin Luther.

How can Pope Francis now prosecute Vigano for doing what he praised Luther for?

Listen in and we discuss the Twinkie Defense, nonfeasance in other matters, and how this will all play out in the most extraordinary judicial action that will ever be...

BFP Miracle of the Sun was a Message Explicitly Directed at the Enemy

If you've ever wondered why the Miracle of the Sun was what Our Lady chose for the finale to Fatima, then this podcast is for you -- from the Errors of Russia and the symbols of the enemies of God, she was sending a message, Old Testament style. Even down to the Egyptian and like Moses battling Pharaoh's priests -- the Miracle of the Sun is rich with symbolism.

BFP - We had the Impression it Was the Holy Father -- Two Popes and Curiously Acute Prophecy

It is the 90s all over again - but despite the smoke of prophecy-mania afflicting us today, there are some curious prophecies from Anne Catherine Emmerich and commentary by Yves DuPont, as well as some quotes from Masonic sources in 1955 conspire to make strange explanations of the Lutheran Synodality we see making democratic "collegiality" in the Vatican today. But why is the Synod silent on things Catholics are concerned about?

BFP We Are Being Gamed by the Synod

Last episode, we discussed game theory but never got to the point of it.  Now, we discuss that the Vatican had hired McKinsey & Co to "modernize communications".  McKinsey uses game theory to help their clients find the best path to navigate a market and uses consensus management to help companies move from point A to point B through competition and diverse market forces, especially to overcome reasonable criticism.  Well, that's what we see happening in the Synod.  We discuss the USCCB Synod Synthesis and see that we really are being gamed!

BFP The Church Mess Today is Deja Vu

Let's sit down and chat about this mess today, and how we've come to the end of the modernist climb and modernist normalization of the Church. The "listening church" of synodality appears to be nothing more than an enactment of Richard McBrien's Catholicism.  How the shock cycle of media today seems to feed the balkanization of Catholics, the use of "defending the pope" as brown shirts, the calumnies used to marginalize Catholics that just want to be left alone, the weaponized petitions, and how it all started.  Voices of the battles of the 80's had better analysis, but today's voices seem to miss a lot.  Much of the harshest things we hear about today were done already by American Bishops decades ago, back then there was recourse to Rome...  but what's different today is Rome isn't listening.  Our Lady told us at Akita...

BFP: Liturgical Battlefield: Are You a Victim or Combatant?

Pope Francis is reported to have said that we should not make a battlefield of the liturgy.  Because he complains of people hanging on to outdated things and old ideas, it is like he is saying that people who want a united and sacred liturgy disrupt the purpose of liturgy...  who are the real combatants?  why is this deja vu?  and what did Father Hardon say we can do about it?
