Here is the indispensable, Mr. James Larson, setting the stage
We have been rightly very concerned about Pope Francis’s support of pastoral efforts which would undermine the Sacrament of Matrimony, and promote Eucharistic sacrilege. But what will be happening in Lund, Sweden can be seen as a much deeper assault upon the Catholic Faith. Even though no doctrine is to be promulgated, and the Infallible Magisterium will remain intact, the blessing and leadership which the Pope will be exercising over this event undermines the deepest roots of Our Faith. The deleterious effects which this will exercise upon the whole Church cannot be overestimated.
The pathos of this coming “Commemoration” is only increased by considering its location. The event will be held in the Lund Lutheran Cathedral, which was stolen from the Catholic Church and desecrated in approximately the year 1530. Sweden is one of the most irreligious countries in the world. A 2009 Gallup poll found that only 17% of the Swedish population considered religion as an important part of their daily life. The Lutheran Church is looked upon as a national Church, and until the year 2000 held the position of the official state church. The number of listed members is high because until 1996 all newborn children were registered as members unless their parents had actively cancelled their membership. Only 2% of registered members regularly attend Sunday services.
Theologically, the Lutheran Church of Sweden is considered extremely liberal. Women have been ordained as priests since 1960, the “Primate” is a woman, and in 2009 the performance of same-sex wedding was approved. A second woman Bishop, Eva Brunne (Bishop of Stockholm), is “married” to a fellow woman priest and is (or was) the world’s first openly lesbian bishop within a mainline Christian denomination. She and her partner have a son, who I believe is now 10 years old. Her episcopal motto is “Don’t show favouritism.” In September of 2015, Bishop Brunne attained worldwide notoriety for proposing that the Seaman’s Church in Stockholm Harbor remove all Christian symbols, including crosses (so as not to offend incoming Moslems), and replacing them with directions to Mecca.
Pope Francis’ seeking of any sort of “communion” with such decadence and heresy is indeed spiritual madness.
Bishop Eva Brunne* is the bespectacled person who is as attractive as she is christian. The human on the left (the extreme left) is Brunne and one is left to speculate as to whether or not her Crook doubles as a broom useful for quick escapes when confronted by Christianity. **
Who doesn't think that Our Pope and Our Cross will bow down before this beatnik broad and ask for her blessing?
O, and who doesn't think he will say that ours is a compassionate and welcoming church that embraces all people of good will; people such as Bishop Brunne and Bishop Fellay?
OK, what's a normal man to do after thinking about the upcoming papal perfidy? Put on some Hank, baby, and drive images of those demons out of his mind.
Dear One True Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church, You are on my lonely mind;
* A lesbian bishop named, Eva Brunne? We at ABE Ministry were similarly nonplussed but her name and biography were not purloined from this Fawlty Towers episode
** We at ABE Ministry advocate casting Holy Water at her
ABS, this entire post is riven with an attitude that can reasonably be said to be unwelcoming of heresy and sexual perversion, to say nothing about it simply being churlish.
But not too churlish, right?
