The happy day that the troubled prelate, Msgr. Pietro 

Amenta, became a member of the Roman Rota.

The Roman Rota is the highest appellate tribunal of the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Rota’s official records begin in A.D. 1171 however the famous Constitution of John XXII, Ratio Juris (16 December 1331) which lays out the form of the oath of office for the auditors and notaries of the Rota is considered by some historians as the beginning of the appellate tribunal.  Either way, the Church’s legal system is still the oldest in the West in use.  The Roman Rota judges by turns of three auditors and is essentially a court of appeal.  The cases before the Roman Rota  consist of litigation and criminal cases (excluding those reserved to the pope) and its jurisdiction extends over both citizens of the Vatican City and the faithful from all over the world.  Many of the cases before them deal with matrimonial nullity or annulments.

 The moral perversion and rot goes all the way to the top in the Vatican.

On 19 November 2012, Pietro Amenta was sworn in as a member of the Roman Rota (see photos).  This appointment was carried out under the supposed hard-liner Benedict XVI.  We say supposed because Amenta was known at the time by the Carabinieri (Italian police) as the subject for a complaint of obscene acts in 1991 and for sexual harassment in 2004.  Shortly after being sworn in, Amenta filed a complaint with the Carabinieri after being robbed by two transsexuals.

 The homosexual pedophile putting his robes on.

Which bring us to the night of 2 March 2017 when an eighteen year old Romanian escorted his girlfriend to the Piazza San Giovanni di Dio, in the Monteverde, Gianicolense neighborhood in Rome for her evening classes.  While waiting for the school to dismiss, the Romanian went to a nearby market where Msgr. Amenta grabbed him by the genitals.  The Romanian complained but the prelate repeated the gesture again.  This rightfully set the Romanian off who began to complain loudly and Amenta proceeded to apologize explaining that there wasn’t much room between the stalls.  The Romanian, rightfully, wasn’t satisfied with this answer and told Amenta he wanted this incident reported to the police.  At this point Pietro Amenta said, “You do not know who I am...” and then fled the scene.  The Romanian gave chase and both were caught by an off duty municipal officer who then called the Carabinieri.  After the Carabinieri arrived they questioned both men and based on a clean record and a believable story let the Romanian go and detained Amenta.  The following day Msgr. Pietro Amenta’s home was searched.  In this search the Carabinieri found 80 pornographic photos with under age children as the subject matter on his computer.  When confronted with this evidence, Pietro denied having downloaded them.  He later changed his story, plead guilty in a plea bargain with the Italian court system.  Two days ago, Amenta was given a suspended sentence of one year and two months for two charges, one of sexual assault and the other, possession of digital child pornography.

How many other sodomite perverts sit as judges on the Roman Rota?

This is the second case in the past year involving a Vatican official in possession of child pornography.  The other was Msgr. Carlo Alberto Capella, who worked in the nunciature of Washington, D.C..  Which bring us to humble Francis and his ‘zero-tolerance’ policy.  Unless Francis takes some action and soon, his self vaunted ‘zero-tolerance’ policy will be seen for what it truly is, ‘zero-tolerance’ for anyone who brings forth evidence of presiders committing acts of homosexual sodomy.  This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as what message has Francis been sending to the world when he has knowingly promoted and surrounded himself with homosexuals?  The unwritten message is that Francis too, belongs to this morally degenerate club.

Francis’ audience with the participants in the Course promoted by the Tribunal of the Roman Rota, 25.11.2017, with the theme ‘The new marriage annulment process and the Super Rato procedure’

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am pleased to meet you at the end of the training course for clerics and laity promoted by the Apostolic Tribunal of the Roman Rota on the subject of the new matrimonial process and the Super Rato process. I thank the Dean, Msgr. Pinto, for his words. The course that has taken place here in Rome, and those held in other dioceses, are praiseworthy and encouraging initiatives, as they contribute to gaining a proper knowledge and an exchange of experiences at various ecclesial levels regarding major canonical procedures.

In particular, it is necessary to pay great attention and to adequate analyze to the two recent Motu proprio, Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus and Mitis et misericors Iesus, in order to apply the new procedures they establish. These two acts have arisen from a synodal context, they are the expression of a synodal method, and they are the arrival point of a serious synodal path. Faced with the most thorny questions concerning the evangelizing mission and the salvation of souls, it is important for the Church increasingly to recover the synodal practice of the first community in Jerusalem, where Peter together with the other Apostles and with the whole community under the action of the Holy Spirit endeavoured to act according to the commandment of the Lord Jesus.

This is what has been done in the synodal assemblies on the family, in which, in the spirit of communion and fraternity, representatives of the episcopate from all over the world gathered in assembly to listen to the voice of the communities to discuss, reflect and carry out the work of discernment. The Synod had the purpose of promoting and defending the Christian family and marriage for the greater good of spouses faithful to the covenant celebrated in Christ. It also had to study the situation and development of the family in today’s world, preparation for marriage, ways to help those who suffer as a result of the failure of their marriage, the education of children, and other issues.

As you return to your communities, strive to be missionaries and witnesses of the synodal spirit that is at their origin, as well as of the pastoral consolation that is the purpose of this new matrimonial provision, so as to strengthen the faith of the holy people of God through charity. May the synodal spirit and pastoral consolation become the form of your action in the Church, especially in field as delicate as that of the family in search of the truth about the conjugal state of spouses. With this attitude, each of you is a sincere collaborator of your bishop, to whom the new norms grant a decisive role, especially in the streamlined briefer process, as he is the natural judge of the particular Church.

In your service, you are called to be close to the solitude and suffering of the faithful who expect from ecclesial justice the competent and factual help to restore peace to their consciences and God’s will on readmission to the Eucharist. Hence, the need and the value of the course you have attended – and I hope that others will be organized – to promote a just approach to the matter and an increasingly wide-ranging and serious study of the new matrimonial process. It is an expression of the Church that is able to welcome and care for those who are wounded in various ways by life and, at the same time, it is an appeal for the defence of the sacredness of the marriage bond.

To make the application of the new law for marriage process, two years after its promulgation, the cause and reason for salvation and peace for the great number of faithful who are wounded in their matrimonial situation, I have decided, in my office as bishop of Rome and Peter’s Successor, to specify some fundamental aspects of the two Motu proprio, especially the figure of the diocesan bishop as personal and single judge in the streamlined process.

The diocesan bishop has always been Iudex unum et idem cum Vicario iudiciali; but since this principle is interpreted as de facto excluding the personal exercise of the diocesan bishop, delegating almost everything to the Tribunals, I establish as follows how I consider to be decisive and exclusive the personal exercise of the role of judge by the diocesan bishop:

1.         The diocesan bishop, by virtue of his pastoral office, is the personal and sole judge in the briefer process.

2.         Therefore, the figure of the diocesan-bishop-judge is the architrave, the constitutive principle and the discriminating element of the entire briefer process, established by the two Motu proprio.

3.         In the briefer process, two indispensable conditions are required, ad validitatem: the episcopate, and the fact of being the head of a diocesan community of faithful (cf. canon 381 § 2). If one of the two conditions is not met, the briefer process cannot be followed. The case must be judged via the ordinary process.

4.         The exclusive and personal jurisdiction of the diocesan bishop, set out in the fundamental criteria of the briefer process, refers directly to the ecclesiology of Vatican Council II, which reminds us that the bishop already has by consecration the fullness of all the authority that is ad actum expedita, through the missio canonica.

5.         The streamlined process is not an option that the diocesan bishop can choose, but rather an obligation that derives from his consecration and from the missio received.  He holds exclusive competence in the three phases of the briefer process:

— the request must always be addressed to the diocesan bishop;

— the preliminary phase, as I have already affirmed in my address at the Course held by the Roman Rota on 12 March last year, will be conducted by the bishop «always assisted by the judicial vicar or other instructor, even a layperson, by the assessor, and always with the presence of the defender of the bond”. Should the bishop not have the assistance of clerical or lay canonists, the charity, which distinguishes episcopal office, of a nearby bishop may come to his aid for the time necessary. Furthermore, I reiterate that the briefer process must typically be concluded in one session, requiring as an indispensible condition the absolute evidence of the facts proving the alleged nullity of the marriage, as well as the consent of both spouses.

the decision to pronounce coram Domino is always and only taken by the diocesan bishop. 

6.         To entrust the entire briefer process to the interdiocesan court (either neighbouring or multiple dioceses) would lead to a distortion and reduction of the figure of the bishop, from father, head and judge of his faithful to a mere signatory of the judgement.

7.         Mercy, one of the fundamental criteria ensuring the salus, requires that the diocesan bishop implement the briefer process as soon as possible; should he not consider himself ready at present to do so, the case must be addressed via the ordinary process, which must in any case be conducted with the proper solicitude.

8.         Closeness and gratuitousness, as I have repeated several times, are the two pearls most needed by the poor, whom the Church must love more than anything else.

9.         With regard to jurisdiction, in receiving the appeal against the affirmative judgement in the briefer process, on the part of the Metropolitan or of the bishop indicated in the new canon 1687, it is specified that the new law confers to the Dean of the Rota a new and therefore constitutive potestas decidendi regarding the rejection or admission of the appeal.

In conclusion, I would like to reiterate clearly that this is to occur without asking for permission or authorization from another Institution or from the Apostolic Signatura.

Dear brothers and sisters, I wish you well for this study and for the ecclesial service of each one of you. May the Lord bless you and Our Lady protect you. And please, do not forget to pray for me. Thank you.

Francis has a dream...

...saving souls with free annulments!

I wish the legal process could be done for free!

Francis feels strongly about annulments but not in the way a Catholic should.  See dear reader, Francis thinks annulments essential to saving souls.  He considers many marriages invalid because of the worldly mentality of the modern age.  Francis then continues in his Address to the Officials of the Tribunal of the Roman Rota for the Inauguration of the Judicial Year, in the Clementine Hall, 23 January 2015;

To this effect Blessed Paul VI stated: “If the Church is a divine plan, Ecclesia de Trinitate, her institutions, although perfectible, must be established in order to communicate divine grace and to foster, according to the gifts and mission of each one, the good of the faithful, the essential purpose of the Church. This social purpose, the salvation of souls, the salus animarum, remains the supreme aim of institutions, of the law, of the statutes” (Address to the participants in the Second International Congress on Canon Law, 17 September 1973; Communicationes 5 [1973], p. 126; ore, 4 October 1973, p. 3).

Once again it is helpful to recall what is prescribed in the Instruction Dignitas connubii in n. 113 — which is consonant with Canon 1490 of the Code of Canon Law — regarding the presence of competent persons in all ecclesiastical tribunals in order that counsel may be solicited with respect to the possibility of introducing a cause, or case, of matrimonial nullity. There is likewise a need for permanent advocates, financed by the tribunals themselves, who exercise this office of counsel. In strongly encouraging every tribunal to incorporate these figures — to favour the real access of all the faithful to the Church’s justice — I would like to emphasize the fact that a substantial number of causes at the Roman Rota are represented gratuitously when those who, on account of the crippling economic conditions in which they find themselves, are not in a position to procure a lawyer. I would like to underline that the Sacraments are freely given; the Sacraments give us grace; a matrimonial process touches upon the Sacrament of marriage. How I would like all processes to be free!

Our favorite comment we have heard on the matter comes from Fox News editor, Adam Shaw.
 

Well said Adam!
  
 

Think of all the illicit money earned by the church from the poor since 1968!
  

Reflect on all the souls saved because of annulments!
