O Pior Papa da História?

Acima, vocês têm alguns dos livros que ficaram renomados no mundo e que são bem críticos ao Papa Francisco.

O meu próprio e-book (capa abaixo) que foi lançado recentemente menciona alguns desses livros e pode ser incluído na lista, apesar, claro, de não ser renomado como os outros.

Relembro todos esses livros porque Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, doutor em filosofia pela Catholic University of America, escreveu um artigo ontem no site Life News no qual defendeu que o Papa Francisco é o papa mais problemático da história da Igreja.

É uma afirmação bastante ousada. Como eu falo no prólogo do meu livro, já tivemos realmente péssimos papas: ladrões, praticantes de simonia, acusados de serem sodomistas, corruptos, mentirosos e até heréticos.

Mas acho que se pode defender que o Papa Francisco é o pior papa da história se a crítica se concentra na imensa fraqueza teológica e doutrinária do Papa Francisco, por vezes ele realmente parece desprezar o cristianismo e chega a defender a "heresia das heresias". Na frente do Papa Francisco, os papas que foram acusados de heréticos podem ser considerados santos.

No artigo, Dr. Peter não detalha por que ele considera o Papa Francisco como o mais problemático papa de toda a história. Ele apenas aponta alguns problemas  (modernismo, esquerdismo, péssima liturgia, paixões carnais) do pontificado e apresenta a "montanha imensa de livros" que critica o Papa Francisco. Além disso, Dr. Peter condena aqueles que negam que há uma crise.

Vejam aqui parte do que disse Dr. Peter Kwasniewski.

Six years in, Francis has shown himself to be the most troubling pope in history

March 19, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the photomontage above tells quite a tale, on this, the sixth anniversary of Pope Francis’s papal inauguration on March 19, 2013.

The photomontage above puts before us an unprecedented number and variety of book-length critiques published over the past few years, documenting the doctrinal aberrations and failures of Pope Francis, which are cause for the greatest alarm and the most fervent prayer and penance. We pray that where sin abounds, grace will abound the more. 

Meanwhile, we know that the evils under which we suffer must be temporary; the only states that last forever are heaven and hell, which are not of this world. We may also take comfort and courage in the knowledge that God will not be mocked, but has already prepared in His eternal wisdom the doom that will come upon those who lift themselves above their humble status as successors, not replacements, of the apostles: “As for your terribleness, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O dweller in the clefts of the rock, holding the height of the hill. Though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says the Lord” (Jer 49:16). 

To high-ranking prelates enjoying favor, influence, and power, the prophet cries out: “You also, O madmen, shall be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue you” (Jer 48:2)—be it the sword of civil authorities or the sword of inevitable death.

A sword against the oracle priests, that they may become fools! A sword against her mighty men, that they may be destroyed! … For it is a land of images, and they are mad over idols. Therefore wild beasts shall dwell with hyenas in Babylon, and ostriches shall dwell in her. (Jer 50:36–39 ESV)

The “land of images” might call to mind disturbing light shows on the façades of Roman churches; madness over idols calls to mind the frenetic chasing after the “values” of European liberalism, the abstract “ideals” of modernism, and the “cult” of liturgical change. The “wild beasts,” those who live by their carnal passions; the “hyenas,” those who make incessant noise about progress; the “ostriches,” those who bury their heads in the sand denying that there is a crisis—all these will find themselves cast off to Babylon. It is only a matter of time.

An infallible law of the moral order guarantees, and the world’s history copiously illustrates, that evil necessarily consumes itself, and its protagonists end up destroying each other: “The mighty man has stumbled against the mighty; they have fallen both of them together” (Jer 46:12). The mountain of literature critical of the Bergoglio pontificate and curia offers a somber witness, for our time and for future ages, to the inundation of wickedness in high places, and urges us to persevere in the Christian battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil.
