Archbishop Aguer: Pope Francis’ Poor Treatment of Clergy Reveals a ‘Lack of Justice and Charity’...
100 TRUE PRIESTS LEFT?
“When this battle is over, you will be most fortunate, without prayer, if you will find one hundred true priests, men of God, left among you. I say ‘true.’
“My children, you must pray for your bishops and your cardinals. Pray for your clergy. Many are falling fast into hell and purgatory.”
- The Bayside Prophecies
Jesus, May 18, 1977
THE GOOD WILL BE PERSECUTED
"There will be much woe set upon the earth by 666: accidents that are not accidents, floods, famines, sin, impurity, immorality. My child, you will go about your earth--My children, you will all go about your earth wondering if mass insanity has set upon mankind. Oh, yes, My children, sin is surely insanity. As time accelerates and becomes an era of evil, My children, many will feel that life has reversed itself, for the good will be persecuted and the evil shall be glorified. As it was in the time of Noe and Sodom, so it is now, but the evils are far worse and more sophisticated. But as it was in those days, My children, so it will be now. The Chastisement is fast approaching upon mankind. Do not slow or slacken the pace of your work because of scoffers. I assure you, My children, even the scoffers will one day recognize the truth, but too late.
"Keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your world and your country. Unite with those of true reason to become part of Christ's holy legion."

"My children, in the past My Church, My people have gone through crucibles of suffering, but I say unto you: My House, My Church upon earth is passing through a trial far greater than any in past history. Lucifer and his agents now are working with diligence and are most successful at this moment in their striving to topple the Seat of Peter and to place in Rome a pope that is the antipope of history."

EXAMPLE OF THE SAINTS
"You must instruct and bring to your children the knowledge of your saints. Their example is in the light, My children. Those you have set up to idolize upon earth now are the creations of satan. You must accept and follow the example of your saints, those who have been given this honor by your holy Church. They, too, My child, did not win their crowns without trial, rejection, and often, martyrdom."

Several priests who attentively keep up on what Pope Francis teaches have expressed to me their dismay and sorrow because they have noticed the frequency with which His Holiness denigrates priests. He has called them “bitter (‘cod-faced’),” “old bachelors,” “sacramental clerks,” “ambitious,” “gossipers,” “climbers,” and other disparaging adjectives, revealing a lack of justice and charity.
There are thousands of priests in the world; some of Francis’ epithets do apply to certain ones. But the generalizations in his sermons, catecheses, and messages contradict the truth, and what is scandalous is that they radically depart from the affirmations of the Second Vatican Council, which dedicated Presbyterorum Ordinis to speak about the ministry and life of priests. I quote some passages from that text:
Priests are made in the likeness of Christ the Priest by the Sacrament of Orders, so that they may, in collaboration with their bishops, work for the building up and care of the Church which is the whole Body of Christ, acting as ministers of him who is the Head. Like all other Christians they have received in the sacrament of Baptism the symbol and gift of such a calling and such grace that even in human weakness they can and must seek for perfection, according to the exhortation of Christ: ‘Be you therefore perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect’ (Mt 5:48). They have been consecrated by God in a new manner at their ordination and made living instruments of Christ the Eternal Priest that they may be able to carry on in time his marvelous work whereby the entire family of man is again made whole by power from above. … By the sacred actions which are theirs daily as well as by their entire ministry which they share with the bishop and their fellow priests, they are directed to perfection in their lives. (P.O. 12)
In the following section the Council proclaims that “priests who perform their duties sincerely and indefatigably in the Spirit of Christ arrive at holiness by this very fact” (P.O. 13). The ideal the Council recalls is unity and harmony of life, which proceeds from the imitation of Christ in the exercise of ministry, as well as pastoral charity, a trait that distinguishes the diocesan priest from the religious (the Council dedicates Perfectae Caritatis to the latter).
Presbyterorum Ordinis also affirms that “great satisfaction and a full measure of happiness” emerge from this unity of life (P.O. 14). It is striking how different this theological and spiritual perspective is from Francis’ small-minded sociological perspective that denigrates priests. The latter is not perceived in the teachings of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, which have honored priests.
Another aspect to point out is that the Pope’s calumnies are frequently directed at priests who adhere more to Tradition. He has called them “indietrists” because they “look backwards,” that is, do not follow the “new paradigms” proposed by the successor of Peter. This is how “canceled priests” abound. They are simply swept away from the exercise of ministry like scum. The authoritarian progressivism of Rome is imitated all over the world, as it is here in Argentina, where the cancellation of priests faithful to Tradition takes place in several dioceses.
The Pope does not cease to inflict harm. His Jesuit and Argentine duplicity inspires his worst decisions. Now he is also going after bishops, dismissing Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, trying to neutralize the best among the successors of the apostles by imposing a coadjutor or sending an apostolic visitation. Here in Argentina he took out the excellent bishop of San Luis and replaced him with a progressive who blesses “in the name of the Father and the Holy Spirit,” bypassing the eternal Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, so as not to annoy the non-Christians who attend his “ecumenical” events.
The number of canceled priests is growing in Argentina due to an insignificant episcopate’s submissiveness to Francis while it impassively watches the de-Christianization of society unfold. This distancing from our Christian origins, inherited from Spain, began at the end of the 19th century. In more recent times its social and cultural operation is indicated by the impotence of Catholicism, to which the spread of progressivism has given the coup de grâce.
I must recognize a paradoxical fact that shows its mysterious character: the growth of some parishes faithful to Tradition, where Catholics, especially young people, enjoy a normal liturgy and are open to a devout participation in the Eucharistic Sacrifice. By “normal” I mean without strange features, as it should be and not how it usually is amid the opaque mediocrity of the progressivism imposed by the postconciliar fantasy. The existence of this fact strengthens our hope in ecclesial recovery. The intercession of the Mother of the Church, whom we confidently invoke, will protect Her.

JESUS NEVER CHANGES
"Come out of the darkness, my sisters. You have been misled. Do not follow the fashions of your world. There is no fashion in Heaven. Jesus never changes. There is great punishment ahead for those who follow the world. Do not leave when you are discouraged by those who satan has sent into your convents. Stand forth as an example of purity and godliness. You will not be cast aside by your God, as you will by man, as you stand to defend your God. Pick up your cross and carry it. You will return the habit to the floor."

St. Theresa, November 20, 1972
“WE DO NOT CONDONE VARIATIONS AND CHANGES"
"It has grieved Me much in the past, as it grieves Me now, that mankind is making changes to My words. I assure you, My children and pastors within My houses, My Church upon earth, there is no necessity to change My words. Heaven, hell, purgatory, and especially, My children, the word 'hell' must be retained in your prayers.
"Repeat, My child, the confessional prayer.
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I confess to all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because I love Thee, my God, Who are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
"Yes, My child, We do not condone variations and changes. It is the enemies of your God that have set themselves to promote change upon My words. The word of your God is eternal and must not be changed.”
