The season of Lent in this extraordinary time of great apostasy is a time of urgent repentance. The statements of Jesus about repentance are relevant for each of us. “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Metanoite, change your mind and believe in the Gospel.” (Mk 1:15) “Unless you repent, you will all perish.” (Lk 13:3)
What is every Catholic believer, every priest, every religious and every bishop obliged to repent of? All must repent of public apostasy. The invalid Pope Francis Bergoglio, through the heretical Fiducia Supplicans, has transformed the Catholic Church into a New Age Antichurch. This sin is greater than the sin of those who sacrificed to pagan idols, demons, and thus became traitors of Christ, apostates – traditores. During the reign of Emperor Decius (249-251), there was a severe persecution of Christians. In Nicomedia (modern-day İzmit in Turkey) lived a man of distinguished lineage named Codratus. The persecution there was started by the proconsul Perennius. Codratus, who was a Christian, was forced to sacrifice to pagan idols. He replied: “I will not bow down to dead idols. I fear neither the demons nor you, who only have temporary power. Soon I will go to my God, and you will moan bitterly forever because you refused to know God.” Perennius commanded him to be cruelly tortured. Before that, he ordered the Christians to be brought who had renounced Christ by an act of worship of idols. They had the task of persuading Codratus to bow to the idols. Codratus, however, took advantage of the situation and, though he was cruelly tortured, he uttered these words: “O foolish ones, why have you not suffered a little? Why have you been afraid of torment? You have denied Christ! Why have you given yourselves over to the devil? Have you not believed in the resurrection of the dead? Have you not heard of the judgment of God? Are you not afraid of the unquenchable fire of hell? And now, how will you stand before the judgment seat of God? Come to your senses! Think from whom you have fallen away! You have abandoned the eternal kingdom of heaven for the sake of this temporary and worthless life! You have despised your Heavenly Sovereign! You have made yourselves slaves of the devil! Have you forgotten the Lord’s words in the Gospel? He said: ‘Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.’” (Mt 10:28)
When Codratus said this, the cowardly Christians began to cry out loudly: “O servant of God, we were afraid of torment and we were led astray like a dumb flock! We wanted to live here for a little while longer and by denying our Lord we have already died to the eternal life to come. What shall we, damned sinners, do now?” When the holy martyr Codratus saw them weeping, he said: “Be of good courage, brethren! Do not despair! Our Lord is merciful! Fall at His feet! With tears and repentance confess Jesus Christ now! He will cleanse you with His blood! And you shall atone for your treachery with your blood.” They wept sore and lay face down on the ground for a long time. Then they sprinkled dust on their heads and beat their chests with stones. Their weeping was so loud that the whole city gathered, and all the people were bewildered to see the Christians filled with such sorrow for their apostasy. Perennius ordered the holy martyr Codratus to be tortured even more. He condemned these penitent Christians to be burnt, each in their hometown.
Let us acknowledge in repentance that the sin of apostasy into which the invalid Pope Francis has misled Catholics through Fiducia Supplicans is even greater than the betrayal by the traditors who succumbed under threat of torture and death and betrayed Christ.
The martyrs preferred to undergo torture and death rather than to bow down to idols. In 2019, the invalid Pope Francis Bergoglio actively participated in a pagan demon-summoning ritual with witches and wizards from the Amazon in the Vatican gardens. He then publicly enthroned the Pachamama demon in St Peter’s Cathedral. In 2022, he publicly dedicated himself to the devil under the guidance of a sorcerer in Canada. This is a public sin against the First Commandment. It is a public apostasy unprecedented in the history of the Church. It is abundantly clear that this man cannot be the visible representative of Christ on earth, but according to the Scriptures, the dogmatic constitution, and the teachings of the Doctors and Fathers of the Church, he has excommunicated himself from the Church. This is the teaching of Scripture and Tradition.
What is Fiducia Supplicans? It is a false gospel, false teaching, which opposes the Holy Scripture, Tradition and all church doctors and fathers of the Church. It is a public rebellion against God and a public apostasy from Christ and His gospel.
