اهو سوال ناهي ته پوپ فرانسس جي حامي هجڻ يا پوپ فرانسس جي مقابلي ۾.
اهو ڪيٿولڪ عقيدي جي دفاع جو سوال آهي،
۽ ان جو مطلب آهي پطرس جي آفيس جو دفاع
جنهن ۾ پوپ ڪامياب ٿيو آهي.

کان اڳ هن جو انتقال ٿي ويو، تقريبن هڪ سال اڳ هن وبائي مرض جي شروعات واري ڏينهن تائين، عظيم مبلغ ريورنٽ جان هيمپش، سي ايم ايف (سي. 1925-2020) مون کي حوصلا افزائي جو خط لکيو. ان ۾، هن منهنجي سڀني پڙهندڙن لاء هڪ تڪڙو پيغام شامل ڪيو:

To obey the Gospel implies heeding the words of Jesus — for his sheep listen to his voice (يوحنا 10: 27) — and also the voice of his Church, for “whoever listens to you listens to me” (لوقا 10: 16). For those who renounce the Church his indictment is rigorous: “Those who refuse to listen even to the Church, treat them as you would a pagan” (مٽي 18: 17)... God’s battered ship is wildly listing now, as it often has in past centuries, but Jesus promises it will always “stay afloat” — “to the end of the age” (مٽي 28: 20). Please, for love of God, don’t jump ship! You’ll regret it — most “lifeboats” have no oars!

At that time, Fr. John would not have known that soon the hierarchy would shut the doors of their churches and deprive the faithful of the Sacraments; he would not have known of the Pope’s and bishops’ wholesale support of experimental vaccines developed with aborted fetal cells; he would not have known of the Church’s silence in the face of vaccine mandates that are tearing communities and nations apart; he would not have known that some bishops would even ban the “unvaccinated” from the Holy Eucharist.^[1]مثلا. stjosephsparishgander.ca And he would not have known of several other controversies, including recent papal statements supporting civil unions,^[2]See recent statement supporting civil unions: euronews.com ; Pope approves documentary where statement supports civil unions: cruxnow.com؛ سي. جسم جي ڀڃڪڙي the controversial flip-flop on the Latin Mass,^[3]cf.

And yet, even if Fr. John did foresee all of these things, I know he would say the same thing to us today: Don’t jump ship. And here’s why… 

The Listing Barque

I know that many of you are hurting and feeling betrayed by your pastors’ silence or complicity with the growing global health technocracy, as freedoms are disappearing and basic medical and moral ethics are being trampled. We have reached a point now in this pandemic where, objectively, the Church’s endorsement of the science in the face of all the data, is simply untenable. I will address this grave situation in a webcast next week; because with the beginning of the mass experimental injection of 5 – 11 year olds, we are entering a phase that is objectively evil. Consider this recent analysis: “We will kill 117 kids to save one child from dying from COVID in the 5 to 11 age range."^[6]Dr. Toby Rogers, PhD; see also tobyrogers.substack.com; sciendirect.com And the climbing global death and injury tolls around the world among the rest of the population cannot be ignored: see The Tolls.

Hence, the confusion, anger, and frustration is palpable among laity and even some priests, who through their vow of obedience often find themselves unable to speak the truth without incurring severe reprimands — not unlike a political party where one must “tow the party line”. And that is a worldly model that has infected the Church with the sum effect of muting the shepherds and leaving the flock to the wolves. In the same token, it is also a grave mistake for the laity to respond to their leadership in a worldly-political manner that is often toxic and divisive.  

It bears repeating over and over again, that the faithful are نه bound to agree with their shepherds on matters ٻاهر of faith and morals, especially when the gravity of said positions risk grave injury and scandal to the flock and the rest of the world. 

…it is important to note that the competency of such leaders resides in matters pertaining to “faith, morals and Church discipline”, and not in the fields of medicine, immunology or vaccines. Insofar as the four aforesaid criteria^[7]1) the vaccine would have to present no ethical objections at all in its development; 2) it would have to be certain in its effectiveness; 3) it would have to be safe beyond doubt; 4) there would have to be no other options to protect oneself and others against the virus. have not been met, ecclesial statements on vaccines do not constitute Church teaching and are not morally binding to the Christian faithful; rather, they constitute “recommendations”, “suggestions”, or “opinions”, as they are beyond the purview of ecclesial competency. —Rev. Joseph Iannuzzi, STL, S. Th.D., Newsletter, Fall 2021

ان کان علاوه، 

…papal interviews do not require either the assent of faith that is given to اڳ گرجاڊرا بيان يا دماغ جي اها داخلي تقاضا ۽ خواهش جيڪا انهن بيانن جي ڪري ڏني وئي آهي جيڪي ان جي غير معزز مگر مستند مئجسٽيم جو حصو آهن — ايف. ٽم فينينگ ، سينٽ جان جي سيمينار ۾ سيميريڪل ٿيالوجي ۾ استاد ، ورنش؛ کان برادري جو هرمينيٽڪ، “آسڻ ۽ پيپل مگسٽريم” ، آڪٽوبر 6th ، 2013 ؛http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.co.uk

Pope Francis himself stated in the encyclical letter لودوتو سي '، “the Church does not presume to settle scientific questions or to replace politics. But I am concerned to encourage an honest and open debate so that particular interests or ideologies will not prejudice the common good.”^[8]ن. 188 ، ويٽيڪن

Where Peter is, there is the Church

تنهن هوندي به، on matters of faith and morals, even without “arriving at an infallible definition and without pronouncing in a “definitive manner,” the faithful are required to obey the ordinary Magisterium of the Pope, and those bishops in communion with him. 

To this ordinary teaching the faithful “are to adhere to it with religious assent”…. -ڪيٿولڪ چرچ آف ڪيٿولڪ ، ن. 892 

When Jesus declared Peter as the “rock” of His Church, He revealed the indissoluble union of Peter’s office with the entire Body of Christ. 

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. (Matt 16:18)

Hence, throughout the centuries, saints and sinners alike understood a basic and perpetual premise — Ubi Petrus Ibi Ecclesia:

جتي پطرس آهي، اتي چرچ آهي! —St. Ambrose of Milan

Here, we are not speaking of a pope as the direct reflection of the Church’s intrinsic holiness, nor of the intelligence, wisdom, knowledge, leadership skills, etc. of a pontiff, as if he is a divine emperor without flaw. Rather, Ambrose affirms the indissoluble link of the office of Peter with the entire Body of Christ. 

اهي ، تنهن ڪري ، خطرناڪ غلطي جي رستي ۾ هلن ٿا ، جيڪي يقين رکن ٿا ته اهي مسيح کي چرچ جو سر قبول ڪري سگھن ٿا ، جڏهن ته هن زمين تي هن جي ويڪر جي تابعداري نه ڪري. انهن ظاهري ڏور کي ڪ takenي ڇڏيو آهي ، وحدت جي ظاهري بندن کي ٽوڙي ڇڏيو آهي ۽ نجات ڏيندڙ جو صوفياتي جسم ايترو پري ۽ مفاصلو ڇڏي ڏنو آهي ، جيڪي ماڻهو دائمي نجات جي پناهه گاهه کي نه ڏسي سگهن ٿا ۽ نه ڳولي سگھندا. -پوپ پيس XII ، ميسٽيڪڪ ڪارپوريشن ڪرسٽي (مسيح جي صوفياتي جسم تي) ، 29 جون 1943 ؛ ن. 41 ؛ ويٽيڪن

Brothers and sisters, I hope it is obvious why I am writing this. For if the current trajectory of human and political affairs places humanity at grave physical risks to health, autonomy and freedom, there is an equally dangerous spiritual risk that potentially jeopardizes the salvation of souls, which is far more important — the temptation to enter into schism.

…schism اهو رومن پونٽيف جي مڃتا ڪرڻ کان انڪار آهي يا چرچ جي ميمبرن سان هن جي تابع وابستگي آهي. -Catechisn of the Catholic Church, ن. 2089

Again, this is a matter of submission to their authentic magisterium — not a moral obligation to agree with their opinion on sports, politics, the weather, medical interventions, or suggestions on how to fix “climate change”.^[9]ظالم ھجن. موسمي مونجهارو 

I am not unaware that I am a mere layman without theological degrees and titles. I am, nonetheless, weighted with the responsibility of my apostolate, and by virtue of my baptism, to state clearly: I will have no part in a revolution that would reject the legitimate authority of our pastors. Jesus did not promise that the Barque of Peter would be smooth sailing; He did not promise that our pastors would be saints; He did not guarantee that the Church would be free of sin, scandal, and sorrow… He simply promised that, despite it all, He would be with us until the end of time,^[10]cf. مٽي 28:20 and that the Spirit of truth would lead us into all truth.^[11]cf. يوحنا 16:13 

It is on [Peter] that He builds the Church, and to him that He entrusts the sheep to feed. And although he assigns power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair, thus establishing by His own authority the source and hallmark of the Churches’ oneness… a primacy is given to Peter and it is thus made clear that there is but one Church and one chair… If a man does not hold fast to this oneness of Peter, does he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he deserts the Chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, has he still confidence that he is in the Church? - سينٽ سائپيرين ، ڪارٿج جي بشپ ، ”ڪيٿولڪ چرچ جي اتحاد تي“ ، ن. 4 ؛  ابتدائي فادر جي ايمان، جلد. 1 ، پي. 220-221

At the same time, I do not follow Pope Francis سي, I follow Jesus; I am not a disciple of man, but of Jesus Christ. But to be a disciple of Jesus is to listen to His voice that speaks جي ذريعي those commissioned to teach, baptize, and make disciples of the nations.^[12]cf. مائيٽ 28: 19-20 Consider what Jesus said to His Apostles and their successors, and to you and I:

جيڪو منهنجي ڳالھ ٻڌائيندو آهي. جيڪو به توهان کي رد ڪري ٿو مون کي رد. ۽ جيڪو مون کي رد ڪري ٿو ان کي رد ڪري ٿو جيڪو مون کي موڪليو. (لوقا 10:16)

Thus, our shepherds, in turn, have a serious obligation:

… هي مئجسٽريٽ خدا جي ڪلام کان اعليٰ نه آهي ، پر اهو ان جو خادم آهي. اهو صرف سيکاريندو آهي ته ان جي حوالي سان ڪهڙو هٿ ڏنو ويو آهي. خدائي حڪم تي ۽ پاڪ روح جي مدد سان ، اهو هن خلوص سان ٻڌندو آهي ، هن کي وقف سان نڀائي ٿو ۽ ان کي وفاداري سان بيان ڪري ٿو. اهو سڀ ڪجهه اهو آهي جيڪو عقيدي جي لاءِ پيش ڪندو آهي ۽ مڪمل طور تي ظاهر ٿيندو آهي ايمان جي هن واحد جمع مان ٺهيل آهي. -ڪيٿولڪ چرچ جي ڪشتي، 86

Faith in Jesus – Not Man

One of the most consistent “now words” throughout this apostolate that has spanned three pontificates is to listen to your shepherds, especially to the voice of Christ in the Vicar of Christ. Setting aside the controversial and damaging interviews throughout this pontificate that the Vatican’s press office has done little to repair, I have compiled a wide array of magisterial teachings by Francis.^[13]ظالم ھجن. پوپ فرانسس آن… They show that, despite the present confusion, the Petrine promises of Christ have remained true — the teachings of the Catholic Church have not changed to this day — JESUS CHRIST IS TRUSTWORTHY.

And I think, really, that this is the least that the faithful could hope for from the Office of Peter. The most would be that the popes are also great saints who live out those teachings as a powerful witness, and certainly, this has happened throughout our history. But Benedict XVI was right to recalibrate some of the faithful’s false expectation that every word uttered and every action performed by a pope would be impeccable.

This weekend, I ask you to join me in prayer for our bishops and the Holy Father. Set aside all sarcasm and judgement as you pray, prayers like, “I pray our Pope would wake up” or “shake our bishops”. Rather, ask the Lord to grant them Divine Wisdom, protection and the grace to lead us according to His Holy Will. In this way, it safeguards you in humility, nurtures charity between them and you, and maintains the unity of the Body of Christ that is under severe attack by Satan — the real enemy.

And please pray for me… because I cannot remain silent in the face of the injustices that are destroying the health, livelihoods, and relationships of the flock of Christ; I cannot stand by idly while our shepherds say and do practically nothing as their flocks are ravaged by wolves. I pray that, from my small station on the breached watchman’s wall, I may be an assistance to the Church in this time of propaganda and lies, and fortify — not tear — at the fabric of her unity. For there is only one Church. There is only one Barque. And if she takes on water, we take it on together. If she runs into rocky shoals, we shipwreck together. If we are invaded by barbarians and wolves in sheep’s clothing, we are persecuted together. And if we are blind, sinful, and ignorant, then we remain to help one another see, repent, and come to that truth that can set us free. Even if it costs our lives.^[14]ظالم ھجن. لاڳت ڳڻڻ 

At the same time, when the Barque of Peter is objectively off course, we must speak in all truth, boldness, and charity. Were I to ignore my conscience, the “aboriginal Vicar of Christ”,^[15]CCC, n. 1778 I would be failing you, failing my shepherds, and failing my Lord Jesus.

Deep within his conscience man discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but which he must obey. Its voice, ever calling him to love and to do what is good and to avoid evil, sounds in his heart at the right moment…. For man has in his heart a law inscribed by God…. His conscience is man’s most secret core and his sanctuary. There he is alone with God whose voice echoes in his depths. - ڪيٿولڪ چرچ آف ڪيٿولڪ ، ن. 1776

Am I now currying favor with human beings or God? Or am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ. (Galatians 1:10)
