Rome's New Inquisition - statement of Roberto de Mattei

Excerpt from an Interview with Italy's Roberto de Mattei on Rome's New Inquisition Concerning Pope Francis's Inquisition Against Traditional Catholics With freedom and compassion granted to everyone else (disobedient and defiant Leftist Catholics, Muslims, Talmudists, pagans, atheists, sodomites)Mr. Mattei is a journalist who was employed by Radio Maria in Italy for four years. He was dismissed after Pope Francis came to power.Interviewer: It is curious to note that whoever professes himself bound to the (Catholic) Tradition and, consequently, to the safe-guarding of the Tridentine Mass finds that suddenly his right of citizenship in the Catholic world is taken away, as if he were a subversive, a trouble maker, or even a heretic.  Against such a person there is no mercy, and the proof of this, for example, is what happened to a religious order among the most flourishing and growing like that of the Franciscans of the Immaculate, now having fallen into disfavor only because of their desire to orient their spirituality in the direction of the Ritus Antiquior and by this were seen to be critical of the Second Vatican Council.  What do you think about this?Mr. Mattei: This attitude characterizes the new course of the Church after Vatican Council II.  On one hand, in the name of mercy and dialogue with separated brethren, they preach the end of the epoch of condemnation and anathema.  On the other hand, they use a fist of iron towards those within the Church who do not want to stray from the unchangeable Tradition of the Church.  The case of the Franciscans of the Immaculate makes one ponder. In the tragic epoch of the post-Conciliar years the seminaries emptied out, religious houses and convents were put up for sale, vocations plummeted, but no action was taken. If, instead, a religious institute, living the theology, spirituality and the liturgy of the Tradition (of the Church) grows in the number of its members and houses, it is harshly struck down. The Congregation for Religious wants the destruction of the Franciscans of the Immaculate, because a religious order that flourishes in following its fidelity to the Tradition is for the progressives a scandal.Read more of the interview here___________________A revisionist history of the rise of the Money Power in the West:Usury in Christendom: The Mortal Sin that Was and Now is Not by Michael Hoffman(Softcover, 416 pages)______________
