Church leaders, beginning with Pope Francis and the Vatican, have been silent and complicit in the face of grave wrongs committed over the past two years — each neatly summed up in the picture above.
In the case of the Vatican, it has committed these injustices on its own territory, enforcing some of the world’s strictest vaccine mandates even when evidence mounts that these shots pose considerable health risks, especially for young people, and the threat of the virus, once serious according to scientific modelling, recedes.
Having long washed its hands of any concern over the jabs being abortion-tainted, the Vatican unquestioningly went along with the powers-that-be followed by most of the world’s bishops. That might have been understandable at first but this position did not change.
Never mind the gross injustices, unnecessary hardships, and suffering caused to millions by the madness of lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
The Church’s leaders remained silent on the policies, but not before becoming complicit: committing injustices against the souls of their flocks by closing churches for long periods, enforcing restrictions on worship, banning the unvaccinated from the sacraments in some cases, and most recently backing grossly unjust, state-sanctioned vaccine mandates.
The sheep felt abandoned by their shepherds as their bishops fixed their gaze on physical health and mass groupthink rather than the eternal well-being of souls and common sense — a this-worldly orientation that has been in the making for decades but which came of age during COVID.
History will not look kindly on the leaders of the Church during this period, even less so if they remain silent and complicit as more details of unjust and dishonest public health policies of the past two years continue to emerge.
Thank you
And GOD Bless
Thanks be to God for His Excellency, Bishop James S Wall, who is against the vaccine mandates. https://twitter.com/DioceseofGallup/status/1428047965730476034?t=CKdX_y2Tt2qc7xJc6omtgw
The Apostles stood with the early church members even going to their death with them. Today our modern apostles are complicit with new Nero’s of our day out of fear that society and governments would label them anti-science. The Hierarchy are burning incense
and offering sacrifice to the god of modern science.
I am a Christian, a Catholic. I have struggled with this. I am reminded the leaders are men, subject to error like all men. I believe all governments, secular and faith based, have been infiltrated by agents of the enemy, some at the very highest levels. I believe the Holy Spirit led me to discern the truth regarding these deadly vaccinations and the true nature of this ” disease “. I thank the Lord for keeping my wife and me, along with some family members and friends from submitting to what i see as the great delusion. Maranatha !
You are absolutely correct Derrick! What is severely lacking in the body of Christ today (whether it be Catholic or Protestant) is true Discernment given by the Holy Spirit! So many are blindly following sheep… Jesus said to be wise as serpents but harmless as doves. Wise informed followers of Christ do not willingly take poison into their body, which we are told is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Today we have a pandemic of the willfully ignorant as the truth is out there.
Many are called, few are chosen. The chosen ones are not of this world, like Christ Himself was and is not of this world.
The church leaders and their hierarchies/nat. councils today are globalist gate keepers and 501c3 gov. churches. Have been for over 70 years. They will round up their members and lead them into internment camps later. Home church or small group get togethers in private is only way to go.
We do not abandon Christ’s Body, the Church, just because sometimes the leader is bad. To do so would be to no longer be a part of Christ’s Body, and it would be to make oneself one’s own Pope.
Klaus Schwab’s willing executioners!
God bless you, for saying what must be said, Mr. Pentin. What we have gone through is horrible, made exponentially worse by being not only abandoned by the church, but to see them side against the people and inflict mandates, to cause job loss to people, even Swiss Guards. Now during this chaotic time they attack the Roman Rite and persecute the faithful. God will surely deal with them. We hope it is soon.
The bishops have been silent about something even more gross and grotesque: the use of the Fauci protocols in hospitals. Namely, no early treatment. No Ivermectin. No hydroxychloroquine. No vitamins. No zinc. Only Remdesivir (desyroys kidneys) and other sedatives, followed by a ventilator, followed by death. Out of the 900,000 who have died of covid, Dr. Peter McCullough says 95% have been killed by the Fauci protocols. This is taking place at this very moment in Catholic hospitals as well as virtually all other hospitals. Not one American bishop has uttered a syllable about this mass murder, much of which is being carried out by their own employees.
Earth, without Earthly Saviors, only darkness can prevail. LIGHT IS SHOWN-but WHO can see?
You SHINE! Thank you* and others few. Few shall find it! The gate is so “STRAIGHT and NARROW”. Stay…….
This is nothing new. The Lutheran Church in Germany was behind Hitler and his crew. When Dietrich Bonhoeffer stood up to them, he was imprisoned and guillotined. They do not need to cut any heads of here in Amerika. The IRS will just take away the 501(c)(3) status of these Pharisees and they will wither and die. That is why Osteen, Hagee, Meyer, Stanley, Franklin Graham, the Council of Catholic Bishops, et. al. are all mute. Their congregations need to quit donating to them. And stay home!
Bonhoeffer was hung not guillotined.
Stay home? I’m not going to willingly deprive myself of the sacraments because of the bishops.
Please stop calling priests, bishops, pastors, and popes shepherds. Whether teaching the truth or not they are hirelings and nothing more. At the very most they are sheep just like the rest.
IN JOHN10 JESUS TELLS US PLAINLY THAT HE IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
Follow Him regardless of what these hirelings say or do and you won’t feel cheated when they don’t teach or do what is right.
Thank you for taking a stand and a side. It’s important to buoy the weak out there afraid of standing up in these times of deceit and treachery. There is something foul, even sulphurous, in these vaccines, the mandates and passports. Countries suppressing access to cheap early treatment and denying natural immunity, betray their allegiances to big pharma. The strident insistence on the vaccine when it’s obvious they are not very efficacious or safe persists. I expect there will eventually be a Nuremberg type trial when the world wakes up. When I hear the repeated mantra
“get vaccinated” – it has become for me a red flag alerting duplicity with evil, laziness, cowardice or stupidity.
The falling away of man’s Christian Churches has become undeniable to Believers and non-believers. Returning to Jesus Christ, God’s Pattern for His Church and God’s Pattern Christian Families is urgently needed as we enter the end of days of which we have been forewarned. As we continue into the later days you must know for yourself and follow only Jesus Christ.
The time has come for each of us to earnestly reconsider the assumptions, beliefs, and teachings of “man’s churches”, compared to God’s pattern for His Church. It’s Not about Man’s Religions, Denominations, or Spiritual Organizations.
God’s Church is:
Jesus Christ and Born Again Believers having the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, Our True Teacher, Our True Guide, Our True Comforter, along with God’s Written Word and the testimony of Creation. They are one in the same, the living breathing Church Of God, adopted Sons and Daughters of God who will dwell with Him throughout eternity.
I wrote a letter to my family that became a we site. Money has no value there. At the top of the home page see: Gods Family, God’s Church, Rebuild/Restore/Renew (also see About).
We need to return to God’s Pattern for Families and His Church. Soon man’s churches will be incorporated into the end of days church of the Prince of this world and his followers, of which we have been forewarned.
Thank you for your stand and witness for Jesus Christ.
Feel free to use anything from my website.
Best to you and your loved ones – in Jesus Christ – Daniel LeBlanc
Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church, His mystical Body, are one thing. You know his disciples as they are gathered to receive Jesus’ Body, Blood, soul and Divinity at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Don’t be deceived otherwise. Mary’s Triumph approaches.
In fact, the Vatican and all its heretical, apostate trappings is not part of the Catholic (universal body of Jesus Christ’s followers) Church, but instead is the headquarters of the ROMAN Catholic Church, the center of the world’s religious system lead by the False Prophet Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
The Catholic Church is the Church established by Christ for your salvation. It has always been based in Rome.
One way church “church” leaders were complicent in the US was applying for and taking payroll protection funds from the US Government. I have read some 88,000 churches took the funds. So much for trusting God to provide funds to cover the paychecks of church staff. And so much for the church leaders having confidence that their membership would keep giving so the church budget would be met.
This was all becoming obvious for years. In fact if it wasn’t for the wolves in sheeps clothing and hirelings already fleecing the flock of their substance none of this could have happened.
The church is supposed to be the salt of the earth and hold authority to account. It didn’t because they got paid not to.
Sold out Jesus Christs body like they sold out Jesus for 30pieces of silver. A bunch of Judas’s who will get a traitors judgement. A bunch of antichrists who have already accepted the Antichrist spirit into their fold. The church will be the very first to accept the Mark of the Beast because of that. It will merely be a physical outworking of what has already happened in their black hearts.
Did you know that the only other person in the bible besides the Antichrist to share the biblical title “ The Son of Perfition”
Was Judas Iscariot – the Lords traitor.
I think there’s something in that for all of us.
And now you know why God says that when judgement comes it will start at HIS house first.
He’s coming after those who were commissioned to protect the flock but instead made merchandise of them.
I’d start running corrupt pastors, bishops, cardinals etc etc.
it’s not gonna be pretty.
Absolutely spot on. This time history will require no correction when it casts its eye upon the hideous complicity of the episcopate with the tyrannous mechanisms of the secular states. No black “legend” now — concrete facts are neutralizing the moral voice of Christ’s Church. How ever will we recover from this? Credibility trashed is not easily recovered.
Remember, the winners write the history books.
Francis is complicit in such terrible injustices. Jesus, have mercy on your people; you promised not to leave us ophans. Amen.
Respectfully, I don’t feel abandoned by my Bishops; I feel actively abused by their actions.
Thanks for this honest commentary of the Church attitude during this 2-year world tyranny!
Thank you Mr. Edward Pentin. You are a light shining in the darkness. A true follower of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Please keep doing what God has charged you to do. Exposing the filth and bring it out of the darkness and into the light. We need to band together and hold each other in Christ’s Love.
Why is anyone surprised about this? The Church has always mixed beliefs in her Traditions like Christ-Mass and Easter which are actually Pagan. Mixing Beliefs creates a Chimera so is it any wonder that the Hierarchy Mixes scripture with so called Science ?. Germ Theory is the Foundation of the Vaccine industry but “Germ Theory” is really the Theory of Micro Evolution. The Church Mixing Scriptures with Evolution is somewhat idiotic and counter intuitive but here we are
Christmas and Easter are not pagan. Please get your information from good Catholic sources. What pagan worships Jesus or celebrates His birth and resurrection?
Yours does not rise to the level of sophomoric.
Wonderful article, truthful, spot on! Please keep them coming.
Chanceries, Bishops’ Residences, Heretical parishes; and the Public spaces adjacent
Are the new fronts for exposing evil by peaceful public protest (with signs).
Masses and Prayer Rosaries and Petition can also be made there, and should be.
As long as we treat these structures as nebulous organizations instead of naming the people involved and their actions, evil will continue to grow.
Hello Edward Pentin,
You are absolutely right. I am wondering if the formation given by the Novus Ordo Mass might have some role to play in this decidedly un- Catholic behavior.
Your Gardone 2018 lunch mate,
Richard J Zablocki
There are perhaps 400+ bishops in the USA active and retired. Can you name 5 good holy men among them? The power of Bishop Sheen was his charisma to bring the Fire of the Holt Spirit to the people. And he was suppressed by a jealous and reputedly perverse Cardinal of our very own Church.
Is there even one voice today amongst all these of the chattering class clad in fine robes and pointy hats who attract now the ears of the Sheep who will recognize their Shepherds voice? Surely our Savior King will bring us a miraculous deliverance…again…as we abide in Faith.
Worse was the lockdown of churches, the denial of the Sacraments and the abandonment of the dying without the Last Rites. The Church, essentially in toto, acquiesced to Caesar’s diktat that the Mass is nonessential.
Great tribulations await us. This is faithlessness and worldliness writ large. The Church is Chrit’s bride and it has been unfaithful.
Mr Pentin,
Pls keep up your diligent work and excellent articles.
The enemy is inside the gates and at the highest positions of authority.
Something wicked this way comes.
Thank you. This needed to be said, and not just by those of us with little influence.
Thank you, Edward Pentin! I can’t tell me how many times I have read something, thinking, this guy sees the light when so many remain in darkness. And then, I look at who authored the piece, and there is your name. Thank you. Please keep speaking out for truth and goodness. Maybe you can teach the rest of us how to do that.
As was said to me on the last London rally, “Why do the bishops put more faith in alcohol gel than Holy Water, and in vaccines rather than Sacraments?”
And why did the bishops OFFER to close the churches in the first lockdown, as if they were keen above all to show how compliant with secular authority they were able to be?
And then you remember that the Pope not long ago sold the underground Catholic Church in China down the river to the CCP, letting it appoint Catholic bishops obedient to the Chinese State, and you might begin to see a pattern.
Yes, according to “scientific” modelling, the virus was once serious, but according to actual data from around the world, it was no more serious than the flu, bad or seasonal even. The scientists and doctors who were saying this from the beginning, with data already available in March 2020, were ignored, ridiculed and silenced. The WHO published Dr Ioannidis’ (of Standford) analysis of the data in October 2020 and it was consistent with early such commentary. https://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/99/1/20-265892.pdf
