Breaking news from the Vatican is Pope Francis has said he does not observe the Ten Commandments as absolutes. We have a response from Bishop Athanasius Snyder to those comments from the Pope. Pope Francis does not have an absolutist approach to the commandments. And in related news, Pope Francis released a video today promoting the so-called COVID vaccine and urging people to get vaccinated.
00:01:45.520Do I live with that hope, with that joy, of the gratuitousness, of salvation in Jesus Christ?
00:02:15.500Now, the Pope suggests fear of hell is somehow opposed to hope and joy in Christ.
00:02:24.420And you know, nothing could be further from the truth.
00:02:27.000In the traditional act of contrition, Catholics for centuries prayed,
00:02:31.700Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, because I detest all my sins because of the fear of the loss of heaven and the pains of hell.
00:02:42.620But most of all, because they offend Thee, my God, who are so good and worthy of all my love.
00:02:49.400There is no contradiction in the loving of Christ and obeying His commandments.
00:02:55.860In fact, Jesus Himself says in John 14, 15,
00:07:05.520We speak of the most vulnerable, at least pro-lifers often speak of the most vulnerable
00:07:09.800being children in the womb, who are without doubt the most vulnerable class of people on the planet.
00:07:17.760These COVID jabs being promoted unabashedly by Pope Francis were developed on the backs of aborted babies.
00:07:24.260They were all produced using aborted fetal cell lines, for testing purposes at least.
00:07:30.140And the aborted baby who was killed to extract those cells from her kidney is known and beloved by Almighty God.
00:07:39.940As tyrannical governments all over the world are mandating the vaccine,
00:07:45.740the split in the Catholic Church over the issue is becoming more extreme and generally lines up along the lines of orthodoxy.
00:07:53.180Pope Francis and heterodox bishops such as Cardinal Blaise Cupich, Bishop McElroy, even Father James Martin are backing mandates of the vaccine.
00:08:04.640Cardinal Puyets, on the other hand, Bishop Schneider, Bishop Strickland have said Catholics are not even able to take or cannot accept the abortion-tainted vaccines.
00:08:41.900One who uses these vaccines must realize that his body is benefiting from the fruits of one of mankind's greatest crimes, end quote.
00:08:52.700Cardinal Raymond Burke, whom we are all praying may pull through this fight with COVID as he's lying in his hospital bed, he said,
00:09:01.640With regard to vaccination, it must be clear that it is never morally justified to develop a vaccine through the use of the cell lines of aborted fetuses.
00:09:16.700The thought of the introduction of such a vaccine into one's body is rightly abhorrent.
00:09:22.540At the same time, it must be clear that vaccination itself cannot be imposed in a totalitarian manner on citizens.
00:09:32.980When the state takes on such a practice, it violates the integrity of its citizens.
00:09:39.160You know, some bishops have gone so far as refusing to allow their priests to give religious exemption letters to faithful Catholics,
00:09:50.840pleading for such letters from their priests in order to conscientiously object to the mandates that are costing them their jobs, schooling, and the freedom to travel.
00:10:01.600Such bishops point to Pope Francis's pro-mandate position.
00:10:05.800Because on August 19th, 2020, Pope Francis called for the so-called vaccine to be universal and for all.
00:10:13.740And shortly after that, he gave a television interview in which he suggested that everyone must take the COVID-19 vaccine.
00:10:29.260Also in mid-January, the Pope announced that Pope Francis and Benedict had both taken the abortion-tainted vaccine.
00:10:37.280And only a month later came the news that the Vatican employees who refused the abortion-tainted COVID injections would lose their jobs.
00:10:46.300Only people who have received the coronavirus vaccines may attend Pope Francis's mass during his planned visit in Slovakia this coming September.
00:10:56.800According to the country's health minister, and he put that out in conjunction with the Vatican.
00:11:02.440Now, moreover, in a July 29 statement from the Vatican, the Vatican museums confirmed that as of August 6th, and I quote,
00:11:13.120And until further notice, access to the Vatican museums and all related areas will be permitted only to those in possession of a green COVID-19 certification.
00:11:24.080And that's the COVID past saying that basically you have to be vaccinated.
00:11:27.800So, as we can see, while Pope Francis says he does not support absolute obedience to God's commandments,
00:11:35.980he certainly seems to support absolute obedience to tyrannical governments mandating the abortion-tainted COVID jab.
00:11:44.500We must, as Bishop Schneider advised, pray for the conversion of Pope Francis.
00:11:51.240Here's the message to the Pope that Bishop Schneider said must come from all the faithful.
00:11:55.900At the time, Bishop Schneider said it, it was over same-sex unions.
00:11:59.980But, you know, it could apply equally to this new statement of the Pope's against absolute obedience to the commandments.
00:12:07.380Addressing the Pope, in the words of Bishop Schneider, we must say, and I quote,
00:12:12.580For the sake of the salvation of your own immortal soul, for the sake of the souls of all those persons
00:12:19.460who through your approval of the same-sex unions are by their sexual acts grievously offending God
00:12:25.920and exposing their souls to the danger to be eternally lost,
00:12:31.100convert, retract your approval, and proclaim with all your predecessors the unchangeable teaching of the Church.
