Everyone should remember the creche below which Francis remotely lit in the town of Assisi. It was broadcast live all over Italy on several religious channels with the focus on 'immigrants' and how their struggles are like Our Lord's.
Now we have the manger the Commander General of Italy's Coast Guard received as a gift from the Centro Semiresidenziale diversamente abili (center of people with disabilities) in the City of San Vito dei Normanni. It is displayed in the headquarters of the General Command of the Coast Guard in Rome, Italy.
We bring this up to demonstrate how pervasive novel takes on Our Lord's Nativity are in Italy. What's next a creche in a semi (lorry) for an Italian transportation company? Or how about one on a soccer pitch? The above manger looks like Noah's Ark with all the animals below. We wonder are there also Moslem stowaways in the hold? It wouldn't surprise us! Then we have the Nativity itself on the deck of the ship with the Italian Coast Guard's flag hastily tacked on the aft of the boat. This is straight up modernist! Could it be, this symbolically represents the Italian Coast Guard smuggling in Hasidic Jesus? Yes, we know the presepe was made by some of disabled, saints who can do no wrong in Francis' church. Are they not taking after the example set by Francis in Assisi?
virtual = not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so
Who's programming Francis?
Call Me Jorge... hasn't watched this video but predicts there will be lots of spiritual hugs, tears, people with disabilities, bad English, emotion, but essentially no Catholicism!!!
Keeping to character as a revolutionary, Francis went to a home for the elderly and disabled in Rome, the Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi for Maundy Thursday. Until Francis, the Mandatum (Washing of the Feet) has always been performed by the pontiff on twelve priests. The reason for this is simple, Christ washed the feet of his disciples. Yes, one of them did betray Him but at that time he was still following Christ. Jesus didn't go to a leper colony, nor find pagans to include, nor wash the feet of women in the ceremony, or include non-believers. This is because these men were to become His priests and first bishops. Every person sitting in the chair of Peter excepting Francis has followed the tradition and the rubrics laid out. However, humble Francis sees himself as above God's rules. It is as if he thinks he can improve on what Christ instituted. There is a name for this...modernism.
By the example shown today, Francis is stating he wants a priesthood of women, Muslims, atheists, elderly, and the disabled. It makes us recall the time he went to an AIDS ward in Argentina. This is straight out of the Frankfurt School. Some call it Cultural Marxism, others call it political correctness. Whatever name it goes by it is nefarious. In the names of 'diversity', 'tolerance', and 'acceptance' all the beliefs and practices of Catholics are swept away. 'Tolerance' means tolerance for the Novus Ordo & Vatican II as well as non-catholic religions. 'Diversity' means catholics must accept the behavior of others particularly when they are amoral. 'Acceptance' means accepting anything which is novel while rejecting the traditional catholic faith. This is the second year Francis has washed the feet of women, Muslims, and atheists. It sets a dangerous precedent as the world looks to him as to what a catholic is and how a catholic should act. As we alluded to in a video posted in Maundy Thursday 2013, the only tradition Francis has is breaking traditions.
