POPE FRANCIS, Do you love Me? No !!!

1. Peter, do you love Me?
    Jesus Christ asked Peter three times. ‘Peter, do you love Me? And Christ defines true love three times. ‘Feed My sheep and lamb.’ Before we define ‘true Christian love’ let us define the common, ordinary term ‘love,’ as used by Romeo and Juliet, by rock stars, by romantic crooner, by valentine well wishers. Well, this kind of ‘love’ is what St. Thomas of Aquinas calls an ordinary love of self coated with sugar. It is something purely emotional thus it has nothing rational in it. Obviously it is something  natural and will not last long. 
     Let me repeat what St. Thomas wrote; that this purely romantic love is nothing else than camouflaged self love and is, therefore, a sin. 

2. True love.
     True love is commonly referenced in Christianity as Charity, a theological virtue that goes with Faith and Hope. The most common definition of ‘love’ was given by Christ. ‘If you love Me, keep My commandments.’
     There you are. To love, you must keep the commandments of Christ. Therefore you must know the commandments of Christ. These commandments are found in the New Testament but are based on the 10 commandments of the Old Testament. We can describe these commandments as New Testamentized Old Testament commands. They are the perfected version of the 10 Old Testament  commandments. 
     In a homemade survey, it was noticed that no priest nor bishop knew these perfected New Testament commands. And yet these are the commands that are being taught for evangelisation; ‘teach them My commands and how to obey them.’
     Notice that the words of Christ are; ‘keep My commandments.’ This means knowing the commands, knowing how to put them into practice and actually putting them into practice. It is a description of a wise man, the man who built his house on rock. 

3. How long it takes to learn.
      It could take a week to read all the commands of Christ. And conservatively 30 years to put them into practice……..thus enabling us to really say; ‘we love Christ.’ And that is studying these commands every day, the whole day….for 30 years…exactly the time it took Christ to live His hidden life. Precisely that was what Christ did during that time…….to show us how to ‘love God.’ This is commonly called the monastic life. Monastic life is the imitation of the 30 hidden years of the life of Christ.
     Did St. Peter have 30 years to learn how to love Christ? Well, he was over 30 years old when Christ asked him that question.

4. Love of God as defined in Scriptures.
     Love of God was defined in Scriptures taken from the words of Christ; ‘if you love Me, keep my commandments.’ He who loves God knows and keeps all His commandments as perfected in the New Testament. 
     Who is he who loves his neighbours? He who teaches his neighbours to keep the commandments of Christ, i.e. in the New Testament. 
     And who is he who loves himself in the right way? He who instructs himself and obeys the commandments of Christ. As we have shown in the past posts, the love of God, the love of neighbour and the true love of self is defined as ‘obedience to the commands of Christ. We say ‘Christ’ and not ‘God’ to emphasize that these commands are the commands of Christ, the perfected Old Testament commands.
     Most priests and bishops know a handful of the commands of Christ. None from Pope Francis down to the layman knows ALL the commands of Christ. Therefore, nobody can really say they love Christ. Pope Francis showed this ignorance during his first Papal speech that hugged the headlines around the world. When he mentioned that ‘love’ needs no dogmas. 

5. Pope Francis, do you love Me? No!!!
    In his first Papal Speech Pope Francis said that love needs no dogmas. If the speech is read he was defining love as if it was equivalent to Sigmund Freud’s ‘ID.’ This is not the supernatural Charity of Christianity. It is not even the natural love of Romeo and Juliet. It is the unnatural love of the catatonic. That was the way he defined it since he removed the need for dogmas.
     There can be no love without knowing the person loved. And the person loved can be known with the intellect.  If the person loved is God, we need the intellect raised by grace to the supernatural level. And this is called Faith. Through Faith we learn the dogmas about God and only in believing these dogmas can we have Faith. Only after having Faith can we have Hope. And after Hope, then and only then can we reach Charity. 
     Teaching a love without dogmas, Pope Francis destroyed the whole structure of the theological virtues leaving a love with nothing on and looking like Sigmund Freud’s ‘ID.’ Then and then Pope Francis evidently showed he does not love God. He was totally incapable of loving God.
     To love God is a combination of an act of the intellect, the will and the help of grace. Without these three, there can be no Charity. Pope Francis did not have all the three.  He, himself, abolished the intellect and the will when he abolished dogmas in his definition  of love. 
     Without Charity, a person is in the state of sin. From here on everything he does is a sin and erroneous as a consequence of this initial sin of ignorance. This is why everything he said from that time on until now are wrong. It is the inevitable punishment from God for the state of his soul that is devoid of Charity due to his ignorance. 
     Because of Pope Francis’ wrong definition of Charity, he shows he does not have Charity. One who has charity can define charity correctly. If he has no Charity, he will disobey all the commands of Christ because all the commands of Christ are based on  Charity; ‘upon this all the commands are based.’
     As a consequence for not having Charity, Pope Francis does not love himself in the right way; as shown by his disobedience to the commands of Christ, like the 6th and 9th commandments. His tolerance of mortal sins shows hatred of self. As a further consequence he does not love his sheep and lambs in that he is sending them to the wolves by tolerating their sins of adultery, contraception, immorality, infidelity, idolatry and nature worship.

6. Feed My sheep and Lambs.
     The one and only way we can show we love God is to feed His sheep and lambs.
    The lambs are the initiates, the sheep are the perfected. To feed the sheep is to support the believers from falling away from the Faith by constant instruction in morals and dogmas;  showing by example what Christ had preached; by resisting the adversaries; and to correct wanderers…….all these according to St.Thomas Aquinas. These are My sheep, they are not yours. If you consider these sheep as yours, then the Church have lost these sheep. You have kidnapped them for the devil because you will direct them the way you want. No, no, no. These are not your sheep. These are My sheep. Take care of them as I would take care of them; by teaching them My commands, defending them from being tempted to disobey My commands and gathering those who wander away from obeying My commands. Do not care for them the way YOU want. That is loving yourself. Caring for them the way I want is loving Me.
