The consolidation is necessary because there are fewer priests and fewer Catholics attending Mass than there were 50 years ago, when immigrants and other Catholics filled churches, Shanley said.

Roman Catholic Randy Engel, author of 'The Rite of Sodomy'
weighs in the the subject at hand . .

In her Open Letter to Pope Francis, Mrs. Engel proposed a
A Papal Commission of Inquiry into Homosexuality and Pederasty in the Catholic Church

But the Jesuit pope ignored her despite the fact that "80% of the abuse by clergy was of a homosexual nature."

La Salette Prophecy On MUSLIMS & The 3500 Cases Of Vandalism/Desecration Of Catholic Churches In Germany

“Italy will be punished for her ambition in wanting to shake off the yoke of the Lord of Lords. And so she will be left to fight a war; blood will flow on all sides. Churches will be locked up or desecrated. Priests and religious orders will be hunted down, and made to die a cruel death. Several will abandon the faith, and a great number of priests and members of religious orders will break away from the true religion; among these people there will even be bishops.Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)

First The Prophecy:

Churches will be locked up or desecrated.

Now the reality:

Rom. 16:5
Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

1 Cor. 16:19
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

Col. 4:15
Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.

Phil. 1:2
And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:

And I might add, many believers in our day meet in “house churches”, because of apostasy & persecution.

MY REPUDIATION of the Roman Catholic priesthood was primarily an effort to preserve self-integrity. It called for disloyalty to a grandiose institution for selfish reasons.
It has been well said that many will not hesitate to compromise the things of God for the sake of an institution, but few will compromise an institution for the sake of God.

More horrifying still is the “moral theology” of Alphonsus Liguori, who is counted a saint and a “doctor” of the Church-of equal rank with Augustine, Chrysostom and others-whose textbooks are standard on moral questions in all Roman Catholic seminaries.
The “moral” teachings of Liguori, if they could be read in their original Latin, would fill every right-minded person with horror.

For there he outlines the ways in which falsehood can be wed without really telling a lie; the ways in which the property of others can be taken without stealing; how the ten commandments can be broken without committing deadly sin."

Synopsis: This is the record that emerged from a motion filed on March 28, 2011. It is described as a record that "analyzes and documents in shocking detail the Jesuits' 50-year history of concealing and enabling sexual abuse."

EXCLUSIVE - The Marxist Revolutionary: New Jesuit Superior-General revealed by those who knew him in Venezuela
Source: Rorate Caeli - RC Site / 10-19-2016

I have known Father Arturo Sosa Abascal for a long time. Unfortunately, what I have seen in him is not in line with the teaching of Christ.

First of all, he has made of Marxism the lenses through which he sees everything including the Catholic Magisterium (which he calls merely“Christian Faith”). He, along with many other Jesuits in Venezuela, has worked for decades in order to build “comunidades cristianas de base” (“Basic ecclesial communities”) committed to building Socialist societies in Latin America and Venezuela. Communities which live Marxism and Christianity not as the philosophers, thinkers, theologians of Europe. (Here he seems to forget China, by the way), but in their own way.

Troll is a product of the 'free will' type theology that dates back to Arminius, of whom a Jesuit wrote to the Jesuit Rector of Bruxels, ""March, 1628. Father Rector, let not the damp of astonishment seize upon your ardent and zealous soul, in apprehending the sodaine (sudden) and unexpected calling of a Parliament. We have now many strings to our bow. We have planted that soveraigne drugge Arminianisme, which we hope will purge the Protestants from their heresie; and it flourisheth and beares fruit in due season. For the better prevention of the Puritanes, the Arminians have already locked up the Duke’s (of Buckingham) eares; and we have those of our owne religion, which stand continually at the Duke’s chamber, to see who goes in and out: we cannot be too circumspect and carefull in this regard. I am, at this time, transported with joy, to see how happily all instruments and means, as well great as lesser, co-operate unto our purposes. But, to return unto the maine fabricke:--OUR FOUNDATION IS ARMINIANISME" [Hidden works of darkness, p. 89, 90. Edit. 1645.] (emphasis added)
When A.W. Pink stated that those who adhere to free will adhere to the teachings of the RCC {my paraphrase} he was EXACTLY RIGHT.

Jesuit Manipulated Catholic Nazis

A great source for Jesuit info /facts that discerning Christians need to know, complete with a collage of

photos of high ranking RC clerics in the company of Hitler's henchmen saluting the “fuehrer” with the customary greeting:

'Sieg Heil,'

meaning 'Hail Victory' was used to call Nazis to attention and to honor Adolf Hitler

Birds of a feather flock together . . .
Nazis & Jesuits . . both cut from the same cloth!

"This man who has worked very hard all his life to re-interpret Christianity from a Marxist viewpoint, who has done not only “theoretical” work, but direct Revolutionary work, is the one that the Jesuits now have elected as their General. Perhaps the growing revolutionary moment in Colombia, checked by the population itself in the referendum that voted down Marxist demands that would have been inserted in their own Constitution -- and for which their president won, unsurprisingly, the Nobel Peace Prize), demands that. But one still remains mystified: what is it that the revolutionary are after, still?

After this, he followed the conventional path of the Marxist Liberation theology: he rejects the transcendence of Christ’s Kingdom, proposes a political salvation, adopts materialism and even atheism, and assumes that Christianity must liberate the people politically as Moses did with Israel.

Who is responsible for this Venezuelan FrancisGarden of Eden?
 
Naturally, one needs to start at the top, namely Victor Chavez, Nicolas Maduro and the murderous Castro boys in Cuba. But they could not have done it alone. They must have had help.

And guess who one of the helpers was?

Once again, for emphasis:
Now, in April 2002, when Chávez was out of office for a couple of days, people heard Father Sosa proclaim that the grassroots “Christian” communities would defend the Revolution to death, that the “right-wing” [?] would see the strength of the Revolution…

So it turns out that Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal and his Venezuelan FrancisJesuits were an integral part in this PROCESS that could be described as the “development of the FrancisEconomy in Venezuela.

And what were the consequences for Fr. Arturo Sosa’s  stemming from his involvement in this DISASTER of EPIC PROPORTIONS that he helped orchestrate
in the FrancisEconomy of Venezuela?

Over the last few weeks, the following information has come out about the present state of the FrancisEconomy of Venezuela
