The "Woke Jesus" Of Vatican II

 

 A new expression has entered the modern lexicon: "woke." It ostensibly means "to be sensitive to social issues." What it really means is "following an intolerant and inherently anti-Christian ideology." The sad and wicked times in which we live are the result of the Vatican II sect. The truth and grace of God, removed from the vast majority of the world as a result of authentic Catholicism being "driven underground," so to speak, has given rise to a multitude of evils. Being "woke" is one such evil.

The Vatican II sect worships a false Christ; the "Woke Jesus." This pseudo-savior teaches a doctrine far different from the authentic Jesus Christ. Listen to any Vatican II sect member you know and you will hear them speak in the new theology of the Woke Jesus. It is inevitable that they will do so as it comes from the top (Bergoglio; "Pope" Francis) on down to the local invalidly ordained clergy. It is spoken about in their "homilies" at the Novus Bogus bread and wine service. It is in their catechisms, "RCIA" initiation programs, and in all official pronouncements of the Modernist Vatican and "bishops." 

This post will explore the teachings of the Woke Jesus of the Vatican II sect and contrast them with the teachings of Christ and His One True Church. 

The Five Woke Commandments
1. Thou shalt not worship Christ but encounter Him.

The Vatican II sect's "liturgy" denigrates the Real Presence (which they don't have anyway), and it is replaced by various encounters with Christ. According to one V2 sect blogger, citing Vatican II's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium) and drawing out the logical conclusions, had this to say:

"We all know that we encounter Christ in the Real Presence of the Eucharist. But the Church teaches us we really encounter Jesus in three other ways as well. In Sacrosanctum Concilium—The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy [CSL], four  such encounters are articulated:

Christ is always present in His Church, especially in her liturgical celebrations. He is present in the sacrifice of the Mass, not only in the person of His minister, “the same now offering, through the ministry of priests, who formerly offered himself on the cross," but especially under the Eucharistic species. By His power He is present in the sacraments, so that when a man baptizes it is really Christ Himself who baptizes. He is present in His word, since it is He Himself who speaks when the holy scriptures are read in the Church. He is present, lastly, when the Church prays and sings, for He promised: “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them”. [CSL 7]

To summarize, Christ is truly present in the Mass in four ways:

1. in the celebrant during the Eucharistic prayer. He is then in the person of Christ.

2. especially in the Eucharist.

3. in his Word—the Scriptures. It is Christ who speaks when the Word is proclaimed.

4. in the gathered assembly—the Body of the Risen Lord." (See https://bemissionarydisciples.org/an-encounter-with-christ/; Emphasis and font color change in original). 

As the Council of Trent declared in the Decree on The Most Holy Eucharist, Chapter 1:

In the first place, the holy Synod teaches, and openly and simply professes, that, in the august sacrament of the holy Eucharist, after the consecration of the bread and wine, our Lord Jesus Christ, true God and man, is truly, really, and substantially contained under the species of those sensible things. 

The Vatican II sect now adds three additional "truly present" means by which you can encounter Christ. The Real Presence is not uniquely Christ, He is there in the "fullest" or "best" way---"especially" present.  

The upshot is this: Christ is not the direct object of worship because He is present everywhere in different degrees of "encounter." This is the logical corollary to the Vatican II sect ecclesiology whereby the Church "subsists" to the fullest in the Catholic Church but also subsists elsewhere according to how many "elements" of the Catholic Church are also in the false sect.  As Vatican II teaches: For the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them [false sects] as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Church. (See Unitatis Redintegratio # 3). 

All the Vatican II sect wants is to feel good, and "dialogue" so as to have "an encounter" with the "other." There's "Worldwide Marriage Encounter" where "The experience allows you to create a dialogue with each other and with God, to create a higher and broader understanding of what it means to be married." Oh, and, of course, "Married couples of any denomination, mixed-faith, or without religious affiliation are welcome!" Who needs a stupid set of beliefs and morals when you can have an encounter? (See https://wwme.org/). As Bergoglio said, "May the Lord help us to journey along the path of the commandments but looking toward the love of Christ, with the encounter with Christ, knowing that the encounter with Jesus is more important than all of the commandments."
(See americamagazine.org/faith/2021/08/11/pope-francis-audience-paul-galatians-law-commandments-241200; Emphasis mine). 

 All will encounter Christ to one degree or another so there is no "One True Church" to whom all must belong with Commandments that must be followed and tenets that must be believed.


2. Thou Shalt Drone On About Mercy and Refrain From Judgements.

Bergoglio proclaimed the "Jubilee Year of Mercy" ending in November of 2015. According to one source:

“We have to put mercy before judgment, and in any event God’s judgment will always be in the light of his mercy”; he insisted in a strong reminder to pastors and people alike that God is above all else a God of Mercy.

“In passing through the Holy Door then,” he said, “may we feel that we ourselves are part of this mystery of love. Let us set aside all fear and dread, for these do not befit men and women who are loved. Instead, let us experience the joy of encountering that grace which transforms all things.”

Pope Francis deliberately chose to open this Jubilee Year of Mercy on the 50th anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council. He sees this Jubilee as directly linked to that historic assembly of the world’s bishops that was opened by John XXII in 1962 and closed by Paul VI, exactly 50 years ago, on Dec. 8, 1965. He spoke explicitly about this link in his homily."
(See americamagazine.org/content/dispatches/pope-francis-opens-holy-door-says-we-have-put-mercy-judgment; Emphasis mine). 

In 2013, Begoglio stated, Do not be afraid of the final judgment of God, when the good will be separated from the bad, because Jesus will always be at our side, because we can rely on the intercession and the benevolence of the saints and because God “did not send his Son to condemn, but to save” and “he who believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is already condemned,” and in this sense “the judgment has already begun (See asianews.it/news-en/Pope:-Never-fear-the-final-judgment,-because-Christ-will-always-be-at-our-side-29782.html; Emphasis mine). 

That's not what the True Church teaches. According to Doctor of the Church St. Alphonsus Liguori:
It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this the judgment (Heb. ix. 27.). It is of faith that we shall die, and that after death a judgment shall be passed on all the actions of our life. Now, what shall be the terror of each of us when we shall be at the point of death, and shall have before our eyes the judgment which must take place the very moment the soul departs from the body? Then shall be decided our doom to eternal life, or to eternal death. At the time of the passage of their souls from this life to eternity, the sight of their past sins, the rigor of God's judgment, and the uncertainty of their eternal salvation, have made the saints tremble. St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi trembled in her sickness, through the fear of judgment; and to her confessor, when he endeavored to give her courage, she said: "Ah! Father, it is a terrible thing to appear before Christ in judgment." After spending so many years in penance in the desert St. Agatha trembled at the hour of death, and said: "What shall become of me when I shall be judged? The venerable Father Louis da Fonte was seized with such a fit of trembling at the thought of the account which he should render to God, that he shook the room in which he lay. The thought of judgment inspired the venerable Juvenal Ancina, Priest of the Oratory, and afterwards Bishop of Saluzzo, with, the determination to leave the world. Hearing the Dies Irae sung, and considering the terror of the soul when presented before Jesus Christ, the Judge, he took, and afterwards executed, the resolution of giving himself entirely to God. 
(See catholicharboroffaithandmorals.com/Eighth%20Sunday%20After%20Pentecost.html; Emphasis mine). 

From Scripture: 
Proverbs 9:10, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence."

Apocalypse 6:15-17, "And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and tribunes, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of mountains: And they say to the mountains and the rocks: Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of their wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?" 

Yet Bergoglio says to have no fear! He even says of sodomites, "Who am I to judge?" Isn't he making a judgement that it's wrong to judge and therefore his statement is both illogical and hypocritical? He also replaced Low Sunday with "Divine Mercy Sunday "based on a false and evil apparition condemned by the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office. 

The Vatican II sect wants all to be complacent in sin, and forget that God is also infinitely just. Just mercy, mercy, and don't judge what's good from evil.

3.  Thou Shalt Be Nice and Beliefs Don't Matter.
 
Bergoglio wrote: You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limits if you go to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience. Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience. (See charterforcompassion.org/understanding-our-differences-and-similarities/pope-francis-assures-atheists-you-don-t-have-to-believe-in-god-to-go-to-heaven).

Likewise:
At this Pastoral Visit to the Roman Parish of San Paolo della Croce a Corviale, Pope Francis answered questions from children in their Catechism class. One child, Emanuele, at the moment to address his question, burst into tears at the microphone. Then the Pope invites him to get closer. As soon as the child is near the Pope he falls into his arms. Emanuele asks Pope Francis, if his father, an atheist but who had his four sons baptized (Emanuele, two other brothers and a sister), after his death went to Heaven. And not in hell. Here’s what Pope Francis answers (explaining that he asked Emanuele permission to publicly report the question, which the child has whispered in his ear):

“Maybe we could cry like Emanuele when we have pain in our heart. He cries for his father who died and has had the courage to do it in front of us because there is love in his heart – he underlines – his father was an atheist but he had his four children baptized, he was a good man. It’s nice that a son says his dad was “good.” If that man was able to make children like that he was a good man, God is proud of your father. God has a father’s heart, your dad was a good man, he’s in heaven with him, I’m sure. God has a father’s heart and before an unbelieving father who was able to baptize his children, would God be able to abandon him? God surely was proud of your father, because it is easier to be a believer and to have children baptized than to be a believer [sic — should say: an unbeliever] and to have their children baptized. Pray for your dad, talk to your dad. This is the answer." (See https://www.patheos.com/blogs/deaconsbench/2018/04/watch-pope-franciss-beautiful-response-to-a-child-crying-for-his-dead-father/).

Bottom line: Be nice and beliefs don't matter; not even the most basic belief of the existence of God. 

Reality Check: 
But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and is a rewarder to them that seek him. (Hebrews 11:6).

Council of Trent: On Justification
If anyone says that man can be justified before God by his own works, whether done by his own natural powers or through the teaching of the law, without divine grace through Jesus Christ, let him be anathema.

4. Thou Shalt Give No Importance to Sins of the Flesh.

 Bergoglio:
The sins of the flesh are not necessarily (always) the gravest. Because the flesh is weak. The most dangerous sins are those of the mind. I have talked about angelism: pride and vanity are sins of angelism. I understood your question. The Church is the Church. Priests have been tempted — not all of them, but many of them — to focus on the sins of sexuality. That’s what I’ve already talked to you about: what I call “below-the-waist” morality. The more serious sins are elsewhere.
(Bergoglio with Dominique Wolton, A Future of Faith: The Path of Change in Politics and Society [2018], pp. 173-174; Emphasis mine). 

Bergoglio told a practicing sodomite:
A survivor of clerical sexual abuse has said Pope Francis told him that God had made him gay and loved him, in arguably the most strikingly accepting comments about homosexuality to be uttered by the leader of the Roman Catholic church.(sic)

Juan Carlos Cruz, who spoke privately with the pope two weeks ago about the abuse he suffered at the hands of one of Chile’s most notorious paedophiles, said the issue of his sexuality had arisen because some of the Latin American country’s bishops had sought to depict him as a pervert as they accused him of lying about the abuse.

“He told me, ‘Juan Carlos, that you are gay does not matter. God made you like this and loves you like this and I don’t care. The pope loves you like this. You have to be happy with who you are,’” Cruz told Spanish newspaper El País. (See theguardian.com/world/2018/may/20/pope-juan-carlos-cruz).

There's a three step approach used to make mortal sins against the Sixth and Ninth Commandments appear benign:

(a) Discuss the moral virtues of those committing sexual sin.
 Example: The man and woman living together without being married are really nice and have a hard time making ends meet living separately. This arrangement allows them to pay the bills and make sure they are "right for each other" before bringing children into the world. If you object, you look callous to their situation of being strapped for money, and you are not being reasonable as they want to "make sure" things go well between them before having children. The underlying premise is "the ends justify the means." Not being able to meet your financial needs no more justifies fornication than it would justify robbing a bank. Every sex act must be open to procreation. You cannot fornicate and use contraception as an excuse to make judgements about suitability while both are wallowing in immorality.

(b)  Insist that God has "more important things to do" than care about sex acts.
Downplay the seriousness of sexual sin. "With war, COVID, and everything else going on, don't you think God would care more about that than with whom someone sleeps?" This is a blasphemy against the All-Holy God. Sins of the flesh defile Holy Matrimony and God's design for humanity. As theologian Prummer teaches, "Directly voluntary sexual pleasure outside marriage is grievously sinful and never admits of slight matter..." (See Handbook of Moral Theology, [1957], pg. 230; Emphasis mine). 

(c) Insist Woke Jesus is on your side.
Point out that Jesus forgave the woman caught in adultery, and St. Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. What they conveniently leave out is that Christ told the woman caught in adultery: “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”(St. John 8:10-11; Emphasis mine). St. Mary Magdalene is a Penitent who amended her life and then became a great saint. 

Sins of the flesh are nothing about which you can afford to be complacent.

5. Thou Shalt Hold the Things of This World As More Important Than The Afterlife. 

Independent Catholic News, 1 October, 2013 -[Bergoglio said] The most serious evils currently afflicting the world are unemployment among young and the solitude in which the elderly are left. The elderly need care and companionship; the young need work and hope. However, they have neither the one nor the other, and the trouble is that they no longer looking for them. They have been enslaved by the present. (Emphasis mine).

At the end of his "encyclical" Laudato Si ("On Care of Our Common Home") 2015, Bergoglio sets forth two prayers:

At the conclusion of this lengthy reflection which has been both joyful and troubling, I propose that we offer two prayers. The first we can share with all who believe in a God who is the all-powerful Creator, while in the other we Christians ask for inspiration to take up the commitment to creation set before us by the Gospel of Jesus. This shows his desire to have all religions, all beliefs, all opinions unite and mobilize against the "ecological threat" and engage in ecumenical prayer. (Emphasis mine).

Bergoglio has  done away with the First Commandment, the worship due to the true God. It started with Paul VI's heretical ecclesiology, embodied in Vatican II. It continued with "Saint" John Paul the Great Apostate and his ecumenical abomination at Assisi, visiting Lutheran churches, praying in synagogues, and kissing the Koran. It progressed with "retired pope" Ratzinger's statement that the papacy (which he never held anyway) was the greatest hindrance to "ecumenical progress." It goes even further with Bergoglio wanting all false sects to unite as one ecumenical denomination behind a one-world police state enforcing global ecological sanctions. Remember: Saving the environment, not your soul, is what really matters.

Laudato Si also tells us "our common home" is the Earth. Catholicism, on the other hand, teaches that our true home is Heaven, and while we must be good stewards of this planet, we must strive to get to humanity's ultimate purpose--the Beatific Vision. The only way to do this is by being good members of the One True Church, and making as many converts as possible so they can hopefully join us there. 

Summarizing The Teachings of Woke Jesus
  • You encounter God everywhere. We are all beloved of God because we encounter Him to one degree or another. The Eucharist is just one of many ways to have an encounter. There is no need to belong to the Church
  • Mercy is given without repentance, because sin doesn't really exist. It is only said to exist in those who make judgements that sin is real and people should stop sinning
  • Be good to others ("good" is defined as gracious behavior, not following the Ten Commandments). If you are good, then beliefs don't matter--salvation (however you define it) is for all good people, and almost everyone is good
  • Sins of impurity are not serious sins, or even sins at all, as long as there is "love," because "love wins." God has more important things to worry about, so what you do in regards to sexuality is of no real importance. Be good to others and trust in God's mercy because sin is no big deal, if it even exists. Don't judge others especially for sexual sins--who are you to judge sodomites?
  • Worry about your time on Earth, and don't fear the Judgement of God. Saving your soul is not nearly important as saving the environment, youth unemployment, and the loneliness of the elderly. Feel good about yourself, but hate your "white privilege" if you are unfortunate enough to be Caucasian. Fight racism, and promote the redistribution of wealth. Don't worry about abortion and other such "small minded rules." Everyone gets saved anyway, so concentrate on the here and now
Conclusion
Is Woke Jesus of the Vatican II sect the true Jesus? The answer should be obvious. The true Christ wants to save souls because human souls are eternal, the Earth is not. Hell is real and you may go there if you do not belong to the Church and die in the state of grace. Hell is also eternal, oil spills are not. Our Lady of Fatima told us that more souls go to Hell for sins of the flesh than for any other reason.

Mercy is for those who sincerely repent and amend their lives. You worship Christ in His One True Church, and do not "encounter Him." 

Those poor members of the Vatican II sect had better really "get woke" to the fact that Bergoglio's sect has them worshipping a false Jesus. As the real Christ said of the likes of the Argentinian apostate, "Thou art of thy father the devil, and the desires of thy father thou wilt do." (St. John 8:44).

  1. The V2 sect's Creed could be summed up as: "Don't worry, be happy". I thank God for bringing me out of this evil sect but, unfortunately, a lot of people who call themselves Catholics, and even those who are not, believe that this is the true Catholic Church and that the guy dressed in white is the true Pope. The devil has really managed to deceive almost everyone, it is a sign that we are at the end of time.

  2. Sorry to ask a question that is off topic, but I need some help that I can trust.


    A well-known sedevacantist bishop told me, through one of his priests, that a male can choose the Blessed Virgin Mary for a confirmation name.


    Now, I am being told by a priest from another sedevacantist group a male CANNOT choose the Blessed Virgin Mary for a confirmation name.


    Can anyone provide a solid reference or references, either for or against a male choosing the Blessed Virgin Mary as his confirmation saint?


    Thank you for any help and may God bless you!

    2. Thank you for looking into this for me, Introibo.

      Here is what I have. Both communications were electronic.

      -First Communication-

      Me: Can I choose the BVM as my confirmation saint?

      Priest: Bp. X says you may choose Our Lady, since men have done so traditionally.

      -Second Communication-

      Me: Can the Blessed Virgin Mary be taken as one’s confirmation name?

      Priest: A FEMALE CONFIRMAND CAN; NEGATIVE FOR A MALE

      I hope this helps! I look forward to knowing what you may find. May God bless you!

    3. Hello. Are you saying you want to take the whole title “Blessed Virgin Mary” as your confirmation name as opposed to Mary or Maria? If the bishop in question says that men have traditionally taken this name, I understand he is referring to the name of Mary or Maria. Indeed Jospeh Mary is a traditional male name as is Mary Joseph for females. If you mean taking the title of Blessed Virign Mary as your confirmation name, the answer is no because Our Lady is not just a saint, She is the Mother of God! She is the Queen of All Saints. At confirmation, we take a saint’s name to try and emulate their lives. I would bet the priest and bishop did not understand you, and may I say, your message to the priest is terribly informal.

    4. @anon5:14,
      This query has me stumped. All pastoral theology manuals and resources I checked did not speak to this point. I understood your question to be if the name "Mary" can be taken by a male confirmandus. Even Traditionalist clergy consulted had differing opinions but did not name a single theological source upon which they based their decision.

      Here, given what I learned, is the status of your question.

      Is a male candidate for Confirmation prohibited from taking the name of Mary by Divine Law? To the best of my knowledge and belief, NO.

      Is the name Mary prohibited to a male as a Confirmation name by ecclesiastical precept? It seems that the answer would be NO. First, Mary is not prohibited as a Baptismal name to males as in "John Mary" or "Stephen Mary," etc.
      Baptism is a more excellent Sacrament than Confirmation. I found no prohibition in Canon Law, nor from any Roman Congregation, papal decree, or manual of Pastoral Theology.

      There are two pastoral concerns put forward why an individual bishop (or Traditionalist Order) may not want to allow use of the name given our current circumstances:

      1. The name of Mary is ABOVE that of all saints--She is the Queen of angels and saints. Since we want a Heavenly patron, we should choose one who understands what it is to stand up after sin--something the Immaculate Mother of God never did. You should take the name of a saint who rehabilitated his life to one degree or another.

      2. It may give the wrong idea for a man to carry a woman's name given all the "transgender" perverts.

      Summary: See what the Bishop who will confirm you says, and act accordingly. Personally, I would not do it for the two reasons above--but that is just the mere opinion of a layman; I have no authority to decide any such issue.

    Replies
    1. @anon5:04
      Do you mean a VOW or an OATH? A vow is a promise to God to do that which is better (e.g., a vow to remain celibate and never marry). Oaths are ASSERTORY or PROMISSORY. An assertory oath calls on God to witness the truth of some thing in the present (e.g., "I swear I am insolvent") or the past (e.g., "I swear I saw the car accident"). A Promissory oath binds you to do something in the future (e.g., "I swear by God to attend at least ten Masses next month"). Furthermore, I assume you are talking about something SIMPLE (made in private) and not SOLEMN (Made before the Church).

      Please let me know so I can answer properly.

      Delete
    3. @Anon5:04,
      Following the Probabilorist position as championed by St. Alphonsus Liguori, if it is more probable that the oath was made and unfulfilled, you have an obligation to complete it. If there is positive doubt, there is no obligation. This is the general rule. I would suggest discussing it in specifics with a good Traditionalist priest in confession, and then follow his advice.

    5. @anon8:08
      Positive doubt (in a matter not pertaining to faith) means that given all you know, your intellect cannot form an opinion for or against something, e.g., whether or not an oath was taken.

      It is the favorite heresy of Wojtyla!

    2. Introibo,
      Where does the heresy regarding the divination of humanity stem from? Just curious as it is so diabolical. Hard to believe that anyone actually believes this.
      Thanks.

    3. Joann,
      I Gaudiam et Spes, Vatican II teaches in para #22 " For by His incarnation the Son of God has united Himself in some fashion with every man." If every person is united to Christ by virtue of His Incarnation, there can be no Hell, which is total sepatation from God.

      Wojtyla (JPII) teaches in "Redemptor Homines" para. # 13:
      "Accordingly, what is in question here is man in all his truth, in his full magnitude. We are not dealing with the "abstract" man, but the real, "concrete", "historical" man. We are dealing with "each" man, for each one is included in the mystery of the Redemption and with each one Christ has united himself forever through this mystery."

      "Forever"--all are saved because we are all "united to Christ FOREVER"

      God Bless,
