Bergoglio delivered a homily from the Casa Santa Marta to the whole world.<\/p>\n

Quote by Bergoglio: \u201cMoses made a bronze serpent and lifted it up. Jesus will be lifted up, as the serpent… He took our sins upon Himself to the point of becoming sin, all sin…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Commentary: Jesus did not become all sin<\/em> because He would thus cease to be the Son of God, but He did take upon Himself the sins of mankind. There is a difference between taking sins upon oneself and becoming all sin<\/em>. Lucifer became all sin \u2013 and an angel became a devil. He thus changed his angelic nature into devilish one. Jesus, by contrast, being the true God and Saviour, destroyed sin and overcame the devil, the author of sin, through His death. Let us look at the cross with faith where Christ overcame the hellish serpent and his poison \u2013 sin. This is the saving faith which saves us from the serpent\u2019s bite and poison passed down from our first parents.<\/p>\n

Quote by Bergoglio: \u201cIn Jesus, made sin, we see the utter defeat of Christ.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Commentary: On the contrary, the redemptive death of Jesus for our sins was the utter defeat<\/em> of the devil and the triumph of Christ!<\/p>\n

Quote by Bergoglio: \u201cA serpent: I am lifted as a serpent, as that which is all sin. It\u2019s not easy to understand this and should we think about it, we\u2019ll never arrive at a conclusion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Commentary: We\u2019ll really never arrive at a conclusion<\/em> from Bergoglio\u2019s heresies, and it makes no sense to think<\/em> about them. By contrast, the conclusion arising from the Gospel is quite clear \u2013 Christ\u2019s redemptive death is the essence of our salvation.<\/p>\n

Bergoglio blasphemously identified Jesus with the serpent, i.e. the devil, as early as 4 March 2017. His poisonous statements are a sin against the Holy Spirit. They are stored in the subconscious and when a Christian kneels at the cross to pray, he unintentionally recalls Bergoglio\u2019s blasphemous words.<\/p>\n

The true meaning of 2Cor 5:21, in accordance with Scripture and Tradition, is as follows: For the sake of our salvation, God treated His Son as sin \u2013 delivered Him to death \u2013 and Jesus voluntarily accepted this death. Bergoglio\u2019s interpretations of Christ\u2019s redemptive death on the cross are more dangerous than those of Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses.<\/p>\n

The Israelites were bitten by serpents for blaspheming against God. The fact that they had to look at the bronze serpent on the pole did not mean that the serpent healed them but rather that the one that had bitten them was defeated and its poison no longer caused them to die.<\/p>\n

At Calvary, Jesus took upon Himself not only our personal sins but also the root of sin, that is, original sin \u2013 the devil\u2019s poisonous seed which pushes us into both temporal and eternal death. We are saved through repentance and faith in Christ\u2019s death. Jesus took this serpent\u2019s poison and its root on Himself to defeat the devil and sin rather than become them. He thus obtained salvation for us.<\/p>\n

Around half a century ago, Argentina experienced a great spiritual awakening associated with charismatic renewal in the Holy Spirit. Preachers proclaimed the living Word of God rather than a dead letter of the so-called scholarly historical-critical method behind which is a spirit of unbelief and which cannot bring anyone to the living Christ. The Word was preached in the power of the Spirit and masses of Argentinian people were converted, prayed in the streets, weeping and forgiving one another. They had a living experience of God. Bergoglio watched this power of God like Simon the Magician in Samaria. He borrowed the charismatic vocabulary and thus won people\u2019s favour and made a church career. However, like Simon the Magician, in fact, he did not break with the occult and paganism, nor heresies and immorality. Now he is dazzling the Catholic public with this charismatic vocabulary from the Casa Santa Marta. He does not have the Spirit of truth behind him but the spirit of lies.<\/p>\n

In one of his recent homilies at the Casa Santa Marta, he thundered against idolatry. Bergoglio\u2019s charismatic speech convicted everyone of having an idol \u2013 hobbies, weaknesses, bad habits. He touched a sore spot. But his aim was not conversion or sincere repentance. His aim was to convince the public that all of us are idolaters, thereby manipulating public opinion into believing that his Pachamama demon idolatry is something completely normal. In fact, he denies his great and public crime against the First Commandment!<\/p>\n

Beware! In his Casa Santa Marta laboratory, Bergoglio produces and releases more dangerous viruses during this quarantine than the coronavirus \u2013 they cause eternal damnation in hell!<\/p>\n
