POPE FRANCIS ON APURON: "THE EVIDENCE IS VERY CLEAR"

(photo credit: CNS/Paul Haring)

According to the National Catholic Reporter yesterday, Pope Francis refused to discuss the allegations made against him by Archbishop Vigano when talking to reporters on the flight back to Rome from Ireland.  During the same flight, however, the Pope could not help to discuss the case of Archbishop Anthony Apuron:

"I took it upon myself and I made a commission of canonists to help me..It is a complicated case on one hand, but also not difficult because the evidence is very clear.  But I cannot prejudge, I'll wait for the information, and then I will judge."

HEY GIUSEPPE!

Pope Benedict is said to have ordered Cardinal McCarrick to leave the Neocatechumenal Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Washington, DC, where he was living.
From the National Catholic Register, August 25, 2018:

Ex-Nuncio Accuses Pope Francis of Failing to Act on McCarrick’s Abuse

In a written testimony, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò claims Pope Francis withdrew sanctions against Archbishop Theodore McCarrick.

Edward Pentin

In an extraordinary 11-page written testament, a former apostolic nuncio to the United States has accused several senior prelates of complicity in covering up Archbishop Theodore McCarrick’s allegations of sexual abuse, and has claimed that Pope Francis knew about sanctions imposed on then-Cardinal McCarrick by Pope Benedict XVI but chose to repeal them.

TROUBLE IN TOKYO!

It seems that our good "friend", Cardinal Filoni, is forcing the establishment of a Redemptoris Mater Seminary of the Neocatechumenal Way in Tokyo, without consulting the Archbishop of Tokyo!

Yesterday, in La Croix International we read:

Tokyo archbishop puzzled by new seminary for Asia

Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi 'confused' by Cardinal Fernando Filoni's letter informing him of decision to re-establish seminary for Neocatechumenal Way

Archbishop Kikuchi of Tokyo.

Tokyo Archbishop Tarcisius Isao Kikuchi admitted to some confusion after being informed that a new Catholic seminary for Asia will be established in the Japanese capital.

He issued a statement on Aug. 15 saying he was not aware exactly where the seminary would be located or when it will become operational. "I am very confused by the decision of the congregation," the statement read.

Archbishop Kikuchi said he received a letter from Cardinal Fernando Filoni, prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, unilaterally announcing that the seminary would be established somewhere in Tokyo Archdiocese.  Read more.

---

Archbishop Kikuchi expressed surprise that senior clergy in Japan including himself had not been brought in for discussions on the matter.
"To say the least, neither I, the local archbishop, nor Archbishop Okada, my predecessor, have been consulted," he said.

This, despite the fact that the Statute of the Neocatechumenal Way specifically says that the Neocatechumenal Way “is at the service of the bishop“ [Art. 1] and that it is “under the jurisdiction, direction of the diocesan bishop” [Art. 2] and that “it pertains to the diocesan bishop, as responsible for initiation, formation and Christian life in the local Church…to authorize the implementation of the Neocatechumenal Way” and to “to watch over the implementation of the Neocatechumenal Way“[Art. 24]. 

Moreover, Article 18 of the Statute is specifically about the Redemptoris Mater Seminaries:  "The Neocatechumenal Way is also an instrument that is offered at the service of the bishops for the Christian formation of candidates to the presbyterate...The diocesan missionary “Redemptoris Mater” Seminaries are erected by diocesan bishops..." 

The Neocatechumenal Way has caused great trouble in Japan before, which we've reported on here.

OOPS!! DID CARDINAL SEAN STEP INTO IT?

(Posted by Frenchie)

We have shown how Cardinal Sean O'Malley, one of the Kikos biggest promoter and apologist,
former papabile to the succession of Benedict, and one of the most influential American prelate of the moment, had used the Mc Carrick scandal, to jockey to the front of the media, as an advocate for the victims.

He has lectured his fellow bishops, demanding more transparency.
He has lectured the Pope on the need for action.

He also refused to participate in the Papal visit to Ireland, under the guise that he had to attend a developing scandal in his own Archdiocese of Boston that is taking place at the local seminary.

Yet, today he had to apologized for not answering a letter denouncing Mc Carrick issues while he was still the Archbishop of Newark New Jersey. A letter written by Fr Ramsey who had sent it to Cdl Sean because he was the head of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors.

THE RATS ARE RUNNING IN EVERY DIRECTION. WHAT IS GOING ON?

(posted by Frenchie)

Following the belated, but well deserved fall from grace of Cardinal Mc Carrick, Emeritus Archbishop of Washington DC  and hypocrite extraordinaire, we have seen all the rats starting running in every which way possible. We have noted particularly the attempts by Cdl O'Malley to capitalize on the mess, to push an image of champion of the victims and voice for justice for them. Both of which he is not.

Yesterday, McCarrick replacement in DC, Cdl Wuerl was the target of coordinated attacks, both in the Catholic and the secular media. This falls on the heels of revelations about sexual abuses by the Attorney General of Pennsylvania, which have been very damaging for the American Church hierarchy.

The O'Malley actions are very interesting, in the sense that as Gennarini goes, so does Cdl O'money.

MAIL BAG/ HATE BAG. 1ST EDITION

(Posted by Frenchie)

As Tim, posted recently  I have been taking over the duties of going through our mail. I was amazed by the level of negativity and hate spewed by the people who claimed they want to be judged by the fruits of their work.

Therefore, after a lot of soul searching, and listening to the advises of smarter people than myself . I opted to publish a monthly "mail bag/hate bag", to give you a glimpse of what we are facing on a daily basis.
I hope this is a good tool, for people to realize the challenge we are facing as a Church.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

COMMENTS AND THE TYPICAL THUG COWARDS

(Posted [proudly] by Tim)

LOL. I understand from Frenchie, who now moderates the comments, that there is all kinds of crap against me. What's new? I moderated nearly 80,000 comments since 2013, all of which I read, and many of which I responded to. Many were personal attacks on me and my family. 

Typical KIKO thug tactics. I'm done with entertaining the cowards which is why I have left the moderation of comments up to Frenchie. I am on to bigger things. But if you wish to face me, just let me know. It's easy. Call me. 483-0467. I'll arrange a media event. COWARDS.

WHAT THE CONTINUED SCANDAL OF CARDINAL MC CARRICK REVEALS

(Posted by Frenchie)

One of the most powerful American prelate for over a quarter of a century, and a rising star of the East Coast for another 25 years prior to that, Cardinal Mc Carrick is a perfect poster boy for all what is wrong in how the American Catholic Church has been run and administered for half a century.

At the same time that every Catholic observer and pundit has graced us with their analysis, some pertinent, others not that much; most have overlooked something, we on Guam have become more sensitive to. I shall try to analyse this today.

The McCarrick debacle is finally pushing the real problem to the fore: a homosexual subculture within the Church that stretches from the seminaries to the highest halls of power. But it is also (finally) exposing something JungleWatchNation started yelling about during the Apuron debacle: the bishops have exempted themselves from their own sex abuse polices.

This fact became glaringly clear immediately after John Toves first accused Apuron of molesting his relative. But Apuron hadn't done anything that the entire U.S. Bishops conference hadn't already done with the so-called "Dallas Charter," a supposed gold standard in response of "zero tolerance" concocted by the bishops in 2002 after the whole clergy sex abuse thing first blew up.

At its core, the problem is: Who does one go to when you have a bad bishop and the bishop is the ultimate authority?

RUNNING AMOK AND DOING WHATEVER THEY WANT?

(posted by Frenchie)

Yes ladies and gentlemen, Wadeson was seen on several occasions recently at the Ordot parish, which was given  a new Neo pastor as of early this month.
A man who was accused of child molestation in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles,  subsequently incardinated in this Diocese by another Child abuser, the disgraced Apuron, and "cleared" by the former Chancellor Adrian Cristobal, himself accused of child molestation, on the run like Wadeson was for a period of time, and hiding under the protection of his mentors of the NCW.

How was Wadeson "cleared"?  Plain and simple, because the archdiocese of Los Angeles, which had a dismal record, (and was sued for millions and millions of dollars because of abuse coverup)
lost the Wadeson files, and could no longer provide informations!

If that sounds eerily familiar, and similar to the still developing Mc Carrick scandal in Washington DC, New York and New Jersey, it is because we have exactly the same scenario.

What we have here, is a group of people, that think they are so much better than you and I, and can do whatever they wish. "Damn the torpedoes! full speed ahead!!"

THE KIKOS: A HISTORY - PART 1

The path to worldly power within the Roman Catholic Church is no different than the path to power anywhere else: numbers. 

In the World, "might makes right." And "might" is numbers. 

The neocat hierarchy, which I shall "kikos" from here on, understood this from the outset and never failed to recite a litany of their numbers at every event, every meeting with the power brokers in the Church, and at every media opportunity. 

Within the Church, the red hat (the office of Cardinal) is, short of the office of pope, the office of power. And the path to the red hat is numbers, specifically numbers of vocations. 

As every human institution must perpetuate itself in order to continue to exist, so too, the priesthood. Thus the number of vocations within a diocese have historically been an indicator as to whether or not a bishop is on track for a promotion. 

The "genius" of the kikos was to recognize not just this fact, but that at this particular moment in history, with vocations flagging - mostly due to to lazy if not immoral bishops - these same bishops (which we are now finding to be a majority), were more than happy to let someone else do the work. 

Enter the kikos. 

At the earliest opportunity, the kikos sought and obtained a permit to establish their own seminaries, seminaries which were little more than turn-key, "make a priest," franchise operations which could be sold to the lazy, and often immoral bishops, who had (if they were not raping and molesting their young charges) given up on the true recruitment of men to the office of the priesthood, and took the cheap way out of blaming "the world."

The problem for the kikos though was that they had many more recruits than what most bishops would take. Even in their laziness and immorality, many of the bishops still had a conscience about ordaining men who they knew had no business being priests. 

Enter Apuron... or more specifically, Cristobal.

Lectionary: 107

Reading 1 JER 23:1-6

Woe to the shepherds

who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture,

says the LORD. 

Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of Israel,

against the shepherds who shepherd my people:

You have scattered my sheep and driven them away. 

You have not cared for them,

but I will take care to punish your evil deeds. 

I myself will gather the remnant of my flock

from all the lands to which I have driven them

and bring them back to their meadow;

there they shall increase and multiply. 

I will appoint shepherds for them who will shepherd them

so that they need no longer fear and tremble;

and none shall be missing, says the LORD.

Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD,

when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David;

as king he shall reign and govern wisely,

he shall do what is just and right in the land.

In his days Judah shall be saved,

Israel shall dwell in security.

This is the name they give him:

"The LORD our justice."

MEDIA WATCH

(Posted by Frenchie)

Over the last two weeks, I posted two expose about the passing of an old mentor and friend.
spin vs reality
Amicus meus

I pointed how this man of great integrity and humility, had become one of our strong and selfless protector. Something we needed dearly these past few years.

The void created by his departure, after serving faithfully three Popes, will certainly be felt.
The jockeying for his replacement has already started. In fact it had started for weeks already, while he was in his final days, at a specialized facility on the Eastern Coast.
