A Resistência Católica

Ao que parece a Resistência Católica se firma e assume o próprio termo. Sem dúvida nenhuma, um dos líderes da Resistência Católica é Dr. Roberto de Mattei, entre outros, como John Smeaton, Michael Matt, os cardeais Raymond Leo Burke, Walter Brandmuller, o bispo Athanasius Schneider, e inúmeros padres e leigos no mundo todo.

No vídeo acima, de Mattei explica porque o cúpula do Papa Francisco para discutir abusos sexuais está fadada ao fracasso por se concentrar em pedofilia e abandonar completamente a questão da homossexualidade dentro da Igreja.

Recentemente, o Papa Francisco reconheceu a existência da Resistência Católica, mas disse que os desprezava, não lia o que eles diziam, para "evitar problemas na sua saúde mental". E é muito recorrentemente que ele compare com o demônio aqueles que, segundo ele, "atacam a Igreja".

Bom, que ele despreza aqueles da Resistência é fato. Vai completar três anos que ele recebeu um documento formal, Dubia, de quatro cardeais (dois morreram desde lá) e nunca respondeu. Além disso, ele já recebeu inúmeros "apelos filiais" e nunca respondeu.

Em texto disponível no Rorate Caeli, de Mattei mostra que a Resistência Católica está mostrando sua voz.

De Mattei: The Catholic Resistance has made itself heard

Roberto de Mattei, Corruspondenza Romana, February 20, 2019.

...

Quae utilitas in sanguine meo? (Psalm,29,10). This agonizing question penetrated His Heart and needs to penetrate ours, like a sharp sword. God responded that every act of unfaithfulness, every apostasy, every sacrilege which passed through the centuries, was permitted so that the purity of doctrine and life would shine with even greater splendor in those, who, throughout the course of  the centuries had picked up and held high the blood-stained-banner of the Cross, opposing that of the followers of Lucifer. 

Today, as it has always been throughout history, we are experiencing the battle between the two banners: that of the friends of the Cross and that of its enemies, who are not only persecutors, but also unfaithful apostles. The summit taking place over the next few days in the Vatican, in the eyes of many, is like a “confabulation” which has as its program, the diverting the attention of Catholics from the terrible crisis, caused by loss of faith and morals, so as to concentrate  on one problem – the abuse of minors, a limited symptom of a much more extensive and deeper evil.

But, a word of comfort to Our Lord for His sorrows, has certainly come from three events that took place on February 19th. A coalition of lay-people, Acies Ordinata, lined up like an army on a battlefield - a hundred lay Catholics - coming from all over the world,  stood upright in silence,  to “break down the wall of silence created by the Church authorities.”

 The demonstration took place right in the centre of Rome in the Piazza San Silvestro, which carries the name of the Church of San Silvestro in Capite, where the relic of the head of St. John the Baptist is kept. The precursor of the Messiah was not silent in front of Herod and underwent martyrdom for having broken silence about his conjugal infidelity.  In this church, after the event, the demonstrators gathered together in prayer, reciting the Holy Rosary.    

A little later, in the Foreign Press Room, before a large group of journalists, representing the most important international newspapers, seven Catholic leaders, from different countries, explained the reasons for the silent protest, stressing that it would be a scandal if the Bishops at the summit were silent on the problem of homosexuality, so intimately connected to that of pedophilia.

Lastly, the most authorative voice arrived in the evening, from two princes of the Church, Cardinals Walter Brandmüller and Raymond Leo Burke...

We may say that for the first time since the start of this pontificate, the Catholic resistance against the auto-demolition of the Church, has shown itself forcefully and successfully.

The week Pope Francis has chosen to hold this summit of Bishops is precisely the one in the liturgy (February 23 in the ancient and  February 21 in the new) when the great figure of St. Peter Damien is honoured, that Bishop-Cardinal who thundered against sodomy in his book Liber Gomorrhianus. To ignore his teaching, and that of the Catechism itself, as the Shepherds gathered in Rome appear to want to do, is a provocation.  But the voice of St. Peter Damien and the Magisterium of the Church has resounded faithfully in Cardinals and lay-people, who, with their words and actions made themselves heard on February 19. 

May Our Suffering Lord in the Garden of Olives and Our Lady of Sorrows, Who along with Him is watching over the agony of the Church, infuse courage and hope in these faithful people.
