Editor’s Note: When you attempt to read the text of a discourse from a Wednesday Audience of a pope at the Vatican, you know there is a problem, when the original Italian text is NOT translated into English, even though a person with as little knowledge as I have could do the translation viva-voce in 15 to 30 minutes.

So, in fact, the Wednesday audience yesterday, August 27, 2025, must have had big problems for the Vatican, since they only published it in Italian, forcing English speakers to use a native translation app in their browser to read it, as I have done for you, the readers, above.

In this discourse, Prevost, who cannot keep from blaspheming and spewing out heresy after heresy, says:

“Gesù ha vissuto ogni giorno della sua vita come preparazione a quest’ora drammatica e sublime. Per questo, quando essa arriva, ha la forza di non cercare una via di fuga. Il suo cuore sa bene che perdere la vita per amore non è un fallimento, ma possiede una misteriosa fecondità. Come il chicco di grano che proprio cadendo a terra non rimane solo, ma muore e diventa fruttuoso.”

I will give a translation here, since the translation from the app, inherent in my browser fails on the gender of pronouns, and makes the text even more confusing:

Jesus has lived every day of his life as a preparation for this dramatic and sublime hour. For this reason, when it arrives, he has the strength to not seek a way to flee. His heart knows well that to lose one’s life for love is not a failure, but possesses a mysterious fecundity. As a seed of grain which by it’s very falling to the ground does not remain alone, but dies and becomes fruitful.”

This text is absolutely heretical, and implies Jesus is a mere man, who had to get the courage to sacrifice himself. The text is also subliminally sodomitic for reasons that I will not explain here, since FromRome.Info is a family friendly site.

You cannot even construe this text in an Arian sense, because even Arius the arch-heretic, though he denied the divinity of Jesus Christ, held him to be a super-celestial being of superior strengths.

But for Father Bob, Jesus is no different than himself, a man who has to steel himself to do risky things, and who can accomplish them if only he whips up enough interior commitment.

To my ears, I hear an antipope projecting on Jesus his own inner-troubled conscience. But in any event, the staff at Vatican News and the Vatican website know that his text has to be hidden from English speakers, since there is something very wrong in it. — I won’t even mention that he fails to call the Apostle Saint John, the Evangelist, “Saint”, and opens his discourse in the context of a narrative being shared, not an actual historical sequence of events recorded by an eye witness. This is what makes Prevost’s discourse a commentary on a theatrical text, not a sermon on the Gospel of salvation.

HOW MODERNISTS APPROACH JESUS IS WHY THEY HATE THE TRADITIONAL LITURGIES

But Prevost has done the world a favor: for he has clearly shown why Bergoglians like himself hate and detest the Roman Rite and all ancient liturgies, which present the Passion of Christ as a salvific-sacral action of a God-man. For these heretics, Jesus is presented only as a man, and whether he existed or not is not important. What is important for these heretics, is that the theatrical texts handed down to us inspire us to achieve their ungodly projects. For these heretics, since there never was anything supernatural or real or historical about Jesus and what he is said to have taught, did or suffered, it is a grave error and superstition to make the Mass into any sort of supernatural mystical ritual, since this fundamentally misunderstands that the Gospels are just excellent inspiring stories.

This is also the reason why Prevost and his crew of perverted heretics also insist on ‘Fiducia supplicans’, because they see it as an outrage that the use of the power of the dramatic narratives of the Gospels be denied to perverts, who want to use it to promote their unnatural agenda and relations toward one another, just as the heretical priests in the USA who just declared a form of perversion to be a form of prayer.

In sum, this Wednesday audience, when examined in the light of the Catholic Faith, is a meditation from the supreme pontiff of sodomy, not a homily by the Roman Pontiff of the Catholic Church. And if you cannot see that, you are not even a Christian. But if you cannot admit that, it means that you do not have the courage to stand with Jesus in this, the darkest hour of the Church.

The Actual Catholic Doctrine on Jesus & His Passion

The only true revealed religion approved by the Creator is that which the Creator revealed of Himself, when He became man in the womb of the Virgin and took humanity upon Himself, walking this earth, and being called by that Name revealed by Saint Gabriel before He was conceived: Jesus.

This Creator God, the Second Person of the eternal Trinity, became man not because of any need or weakness, nor even out of sheer arbitrariness or recklessness, but to show mankind the way back to the Father, so that through His weakness, God’s infinite power would be made manifest, and so that no one would be able to glory in the flesh, relying on it to attain eternal glory with God.

From the first moment of His conception as man, He has the full and perfect beatific vision of God the Father, in His human soul, as a continuous mystical habit and experience. According to His Humanity, He never did have any other self-knowledge but that He was the Eternal Son of God the Father, incarnate in this world, to save and redeem it for Him.

Thus, even in His Humanity, Christ had no need to prepare for His Passion and Death, because He was never lacking in the grace, power, strength, virtue, knowledge, understanding, self-control, daring or courage to offer Himself as a victim of Holocaust to the Father, since the very fundamental characteristic of Himself as the Eternal Son is to be the Way to the Father, both in coming forth from Him and returning to Him.

That He sweats blood in the Garden of Gethsemane or prays, that this cup might pass-by Him, if the Father so will it, is to demonstrate to us that in His incarnation He has taken on the same humanity that we have, and that He did not seek suffering and death because they are good in themselves, or works of God, but because they are necessary punishments for man’s rebellion against the Creator of Life, without Whom there is no life.

Christ’s infinite and superabundant ability and virtue in suffering was a marvel to His contemporaries, since, during a crucifixion and flogging and crowning with thorns, the peoples of the Roman Empire in the first century, A. D., all knew well the dramatic scenes of the most pitiful outbursts from the victims, as they screamed in torture, injury, wounding, and continual torment; whereas all the Gospels concur in showing that Jesus Christ went to the Sacrifice of the Cross like a Lamb which is silent on the way to the slaughterhouse. Even Pontius Pilate, who was undoubtedly the witness of many gladiatorial games was astounded that a man with such self-control should die so soon.  A testimony that shows that it was Christ who laid down His life, not a man who succumbed under the weight of suffering.

Thus, the Gospel written by Saint John the Apostle is a true and historical account of what actually did happen, without any posterior embellishments or additions. This Gospel was written to transmit the good news of Salvation preached by Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of God, and tell of His Life and Ministry among men, so that we too by imitating His adhesion to the will of the Father, might repent of our sins, do penance and return to the House of God.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ aims therefore at the salvation of each, individually, and does not exist to support the geopolitics or economics of the empires of any age. It calls us to a radical rejection of an animalistic and materialistic self-identification and imposes the requirement that as human beings we subject our spiritual and material reality to the Truths and Laws He has laid down as the pre-requisites and rules for the road back.

Jesus Christ in His Passion is not in the first place a role model of love in human relationships, as Prevost frames it, but a role model in THE WORK of justice, complying with the infinite and eternal rigor of repairing the offense to the Divine Majesty wrought by the sins of each of us individually and collectively, and not only of us, but of all men and women who have and do and will ever live, not to mention that also of the sins of the Angels. It is thus the most sacred and sacral Act and Ritual of the Highest Priest in the most perfectly just and eternally transcendent religion, around which the entire spiritual reality and destiny of all rational creatures revolves. Christ’s passion is therefore not a theatrical drama, but the very axis of salvation, freely offered by God to undeserving mankind, and before which each and every man, woman and child, should bend in adoration, respect, obedience and compliance, with Faith, Hope, and Charity and the practice of all other virtues of righteousness. — Receiving the Gospel of Christ in His Passion we are shown the true way to Heaven through the narrow way of the Cross, where if we walk with humility, in penance and out of penitence, we can draw from His infinite Fount of Grace in suffering for us.  — This is why all men and women and children are called and drawn to the Sacrifice of Christ and why only in the ancient and traditional liturgies which commemorate this Mystery — without making it a joke — can we find the grace, light and strength to live this life in a manner pleasing to God and survive this valley of tears which is full of perfidy and darkness.
