The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Why Is 30 Sept. 2017 (Yom Kippur) So Important?

Some people believe the Jubilee is the 8th Moedim or Jewish Feast. So in Sept. 30, 2017 we have a dual Moedim Yom Kippur and the beginning of the Jubilee. The religious Jewish new year begins on Yom Kippur. 
The "Days of Awe" are the days from Rosh Shashana/Feast of Trumpets to Yom Kippur - 10 days 
First, Yom Kippur occurs from sunset Sept. 29, 2017 to sunset Sept. 30, 2017, the 10th of Tishra.
The Great Sign of Revelation occurred 7 days before Yom Kippur.
The Great American Eclipse (sign of Jonah) occurred 40 days before Yom Kippur and 33 days before the Great Sign of Revelation.
The Jubilee
The Jubilee patterns have been observed and there is no need to go back thousands of years to try to determine when they happened or even the math to figure it out as the Creator has done it for us.  All that s required is understand the scripture associated with the jubilee and then observe the patterns.
” ‘And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years.  ‘You shall then sound a ram’s horn to pass through on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Atonement cause a ram’s horn to pass through all your land.  ‘And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Jubilee for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan.’ “Leviticus 25;8-10
Based upon the scripture above, a jubilee is made up of seven sets of Shmitah cycles (seven Sabbath of years) that add up to be 49 years.  It is at the end of the 49th year that the rams horn is to be blown on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) with Yom Kippur being Tishri 10 of the civil calendar.  It is at that point on Yom Kippur that the people are to proclaim release throughout the land and a return of possessions to each clan.
The Patterns of a Jubilee
The question then becomes is what to look for with regard to the jubilee?  Since we know that the cycle is either 49 years or 50 years, then we can look back in history and observe some very interesting things especially with regard to Israel and Jerusalem.  It was back in November when the Balfour Declaration was written, setting the seed for the re-birth of Israel and it was in December when General Allenby would have walked into Jerusalem by foot to reclaim the land for the Jewish people, taking the rein of Jerusalem away from the Ottoman Empire who reined over Jerusalem for exactly 400 years.
We would witness the re-birth of Israel as a Nation on the eve of Shavuot 1948 from the seed of the Balfour Declaration and the mighty hand of the Creator.  It would have been in June 1967 when we would have witnessed a war break out between Israel and her neighbors known as the 6 Day War.  During that war, Israel would have reclaimed more land from Gaza to the Golan Heights in upper Israel, a return of land to the inhabitants and a fulfillment of one of the requirements of a Jubilee.
When we look back we can clearly observe some very interesting patterns.  Look at the image titled, Jubilee Pattern Revealed below…
6--jubilee-patterns-revealed
You will notice that the years 1917 to 1918 are highlighted in orange as a separate and unique set-apart year known as the 50th Year of Jubilee.  Since both the Balfour Declaration and the rein of Jerusalem was taken away from the Ottoman Empire in November and December, then we know that the 50th Year of Jubilee began on Yom Kippur 1917 and ended on the eve of Yom Kippur 1918.
That would mean that 50 years from 1917 would be the beginning of the next 50th year of Jubilee.  That 50th Year of Jubilee  would have taken place from Yom Kippur 1967 to the eve of Yom Kippur 1968.  There are some who calculate the 50th year as being year number one of the new jubilee cycle meaning that they would calculate the 50th Year of Jubilee from Yom Kippur 1966 to the eve of Yom Kippur 1967 such as Rabbi Jonathan Cahn.

The 50th Year of Jubilee September 2017

When the Creator’s Jubilee is accounted for as a basis of confirmation, we can be sure that Yom Kippur will be the beginning of the Solar 50th Year of Jubilee September 2017.  Interestingly enough, this jubilee will take place 10 days after the mid-tribulation sign in the heavens that will take place on Yom Teruah 2017.  
Here are the two jubilees closer in scale in this image titled, The Two Jubilees.  The Solar Jubilee from Yom Kippur 1967 will highlight the final 50th Year of Jubilee from 2017 to 2018.6-the-two-jubilees49 Years or 50 Years?
One last point!  The question remains, are we to count a jubilee cycle as 49 year or 50 years? I follow the view point of Torah Calendar that believe, “the Jubilee Cycle consists of 50 Civil Years – seven Shemitah Cycles and a Jubilee Year.”  This cycle makes a lot of sense from the stand point of the three Ages that point to 40 Jubilees each (2,000 years) making up 120 jubilees that would account to 6,000 years that scripturally seem to line up perfectly especially when Genesis 6:3 is taken into account.
After viewing a presentation given by Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, I realized that for those who hold to a 49 Year Jubilee, believe that the Jubilee will begin on Yom Kippur 2015 and will end one year later in 2016. Those who hold to a 50 Year Jubilee, Your Watchman, believe that it will begin on Yom Kippur 2017 and will end in 2018. Amazingly, because of the Creator’s JubileeTHEY ARE BOTH CORRECT! The Creator has made it possible that both viewpoints are valid through the Creator’s Jubilee and Solar Jubilee. Amazing!

Ret. Marine Col. Jeffery Powers, pictured above, wrote to the NFL commissioners the following:

  
Commissioners, I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and the Giants Stadium.  

I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt. Garrett Mongrella was about how our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it.

  
Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins.

  
Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for.  They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country besides playing with a ball and believing they’re something special!  They’re not!  My Marines and Soldiers were!

  
You are complicit in this!  You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an immediate stop to this. Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner.             

  
 What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly?

  
I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National  Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone?

  
Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game!

  
You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not.

  
Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles. They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do it 24/7 often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced. They don’t even have ice! Many don’t have legs or arms.

  
Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes.

  
I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you!

  

Hit 'Em High, Hit 'Em Low, Hit 'Em In Their Wallets!

The New Orleans Saints were among the teams which protested Trump’s remarks on Sunday ahead of their game against the Panthers. “I would say, personally, I am disappointed in the comments that were made,” said Saints coach Sean Payton. “I think we need a little bit more wisdom in that office. That’s being a little blunt, but that’s how I feel. I want that guy to be one of the smarter guys in the room, and it seems like every time he’s opening his mouth, it’s something that is dividing our country and not pulling us together,” he added.
According to The Advocate, the Saints and Pelicans organizations released a statement roughly half an hour before the start of Sunday’s game, saying that Trump’s comments were “disappointing and inappropriate.” Then, tackle Terron Armstead remained in the locker room while the National Anthem was being played as a form of protest. Meanwhile, 14 of his teammates protested on the field.
Rafael Bush, Kenny Vaccaro, Chris Banjo, Sheldon Rankins, Alex Okafor, Cameron Jordan, Adrian Peterson, Alvin Kamara, Brandon Coleman, and Mark Ingram all sat on the bench during The Star-Spangled Banner. Thomas Morstead, Marshon Lattimore, Craig Robinson, and Coby Fleener stood nearby with their hands on their teammates’ shoulders. “I am proud of every one of them,” coach Payton said.
Come Monday morning, Louisiana State Rep. Kenny Havard (R-St. Francisville), pictured above, announced that he wants to cut millions of state tax dollars, exemptions, and credits allocated to the Saints, the NFL, and any of those groups’ associated facilities that receive funding. “The very reason (the Saints) have the privilege and opportunity to play professional football while being paid millions is because someone in uniform died protecting their right to do so,” Havard said. “It is a disgrace to the men and women of this nation and state who have sacrificed so much,” he continued.
“Disrespecting our national anthem and flag in the name of social injustice is the highest form of hypocrisy,” added Havard. “Our free society made possible by our fighting men and women has made available free education, free lunch, housing, and free healthcare and is now being considered socially unjust,” he said. “It is time the taxpayers quit subsidizing protest on big boy playgrounds. I believe in the right to protest but, not at a taxpayer-subsidized sporting event. Do it on your own time. There are plenty of disabled children, elderly and veterans in this state that would appreciate the money.”
Image result for Tom Benson of the Saints
According to a 2015 Forbes report, Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson, pictured above, was “set to rake in an estimated $392 million from state subsidies through 2025.” The report said that during the Mercedes-Benz Superdome lease “the state will pay Benson at least $198 million in increased revenue from the Superdome, $142 million in rental payments on property Benson owns, $10 million in bonuses for bringing the Super Bowl to New Orleans and $2.6 million in tax breaks. Benson will get another $40 million from private rent payments to a tower he bought as part of the deal.”

Rep. Havard is exactly right. The Saints and their billionaire owner are perhaps the least deserving people of the millions of tax dollars being thrown at them each year. That money could be better put towards programs for veterans, the people who risked their lives so those self-entitled athletes could sit on their behinds instead of honoring the country which has afforded them such opportunity. If these football players want to protest, fine. However, they absolutely should not be paid to do so.

Did You Know Dr. Rife Invented A Cure For Cancer?

Cancer

 Approximately 30 years ago your Watchman considered investing with a man who invented a small machine that he claimed magnetically vibrated cancerous cells into harmless cells. I had a sore on my leg for several years. This sore never caused me any pain but I knew it was not normal. When the inventor met with me and my two investing partners he put the vibrating magnet on my leg. A few  days the sore completely fell off my leg. We never invested with the man but he went on to work with his machine at a university in Texas. When I told my partners about how the sore fell off my leg we all wondered aloud if we had turned away the man who had a cure for cancer. The story below reminded of that man I met long ago.

Our reality is such that frequencies have a much more profound effect on us than we’ve been previously led to believe. This reality can no longer be ignored.
As technologically advanced as we are constantly told we are these days, there are some technologies just now being presented to the public as “new” when they are not new at all but have simply been widely suppressed for decades. Things like the “new” digital neuro headbands that pulse specific electromagnetic frequencies into a person’s head to “transition” his or her moods, for example.
It has also come out in recent years that frequencies can cure diseases, including cancer. Professor and researcher Anthony Holland even gave a Tedx talk on “Shattering Cancer with Resonant Frequencies” a few years back, discussing the ability to destroy cancer cells and deadly super bugs like MRSA with oscillating pulsed electrical fields… not that you probably heard about it on the nightly news or anything.
As someone pointed out in the comments, phrases like, “They hadn’t seen anything quite like it. Seems to be a new phenomenon,” (emphasis mine), made viewers who know about the organized suppression of such technologies since at least the 1930s want to slam their own heads into a wall. 

Meet Dr. Royal Raymond Rife pictured below.


Dr. Rife has been referred to by those who personally knew and worked with him as a genius. A scientist and inventor, starting in the 1920s, Rife began building a large and complex microscope capable of magnifying objects 31,000 times (compared with maybe 1700 times available on standard microscopes in the 1930s and 40s). By 1940 Rife had a two-foot high device weighing in at 200 pounds which included some 5,682 parts that enabled Rife to see viruses and bacteria in a way no other scientists had.
Because these organisms were so tiny, Rife designed a method of staining them with light.Through this work, Rife came to understand that all living things, including bacteria and viruses, have their own frequency or oscillation pattern.
Just like a specific musical note can shatter a wine glass if sung at the resonant frequency of the glass, it was found frequencies could also be used to destroy pathogens.
As he continued to isolate viruses and bacteria and locate their frequencies for destruction, Rife claimed he discovered the virus responsible for cancer.
Using resonance, or what he termed the “Mortal Oscillatory Rate” of the virus, he killed it. Over and over and over.
Rife completed hundreds of experiments on tumors in rats purposefully infected with this isolated cancer virus before ever using his cancer-killing frequencies on people. In 1934, he tested out his device out on 16 terminally ill cancer patients. Out of 16, all but two of them were considered officially cured in just three months. Of his treatment Rife would later write, “With the frequency instrument treatment, no tissue is destroyed, no pain is felt, no noise is audible, and no sensation is noticed. A tube lights up and 3 minutes later the treatment is completed. The virus or bacteria is destroyed and the body then recovers itself naturally from the toxic effect of the virus or bacteria. Several diseases may be treated simultaneously.”
An LA Times article described the method for the public in June 1940.

“For organisms too small to be stained, an ingenious illuminating system is used. This system utilizes Rife’s theory that organisms respond to certain wavelengths, a theory he carries to finality by bombarding disease germs with radio waves which are ‘tuned’ to those of the minute man-killers. And the virus he says occurs in cancer has, Rife insists, disintegrated under such radio waves.”
Rife was hailed in the scientific and medical communities for his discoveries. By 1937, Rife had established a company called Beam Ray with several colleagues, and 14 of his machines were manufactured.
So what happened? Why aren’t these machines in every hospital and cancer treatment center in the world today?
Simply put, the only cancer Rife couldn’t seem to kill was greed.
How the Cure for Cancer Got Suppressed
Powerful opposition with vested interests in allopathic (pharmaceutical and surgery-based) medicine and the still infant cancer “treatment” called chemotherapy, and medical professionals linked to the Rockefeller Foundation (with its deeply entrenched eugenics-based population control agenda) would make sure Rife’s machines would never be available to the public at large.
One such stooge was Dr. Morris Fishbein, pictured above, head for a time of the American Medical Association (AMA) and described by Bob Wallace on LewRockwell.com as a “shakedown artist” hellbent on destroying naturopathic medical inventors he couldn’t buy out:
“Fishbein sent an attorney to make a token attempt to buy out Rife. Rife refused. Although no one knows the exact terms of the offer, it was probably similar to the one Fishbein made to Harry Hoxsey for his herbal cancer remedy (which Fishbein, in court, had to admit worked on skin cancer).
Fishbein and his associates would receive all profits for nine years and Hoxsey would receive nothing. Then, if they were satisfied that it worked, Hoxsey would begin to receive 10% of the profits. When Hoxsey refused, Fishbein used his political connections to have Hoxsey arrested 125 times in a period of 16 months. The charges (based on practicing without a license) were always thrown out of court, but Fishbein harassed Hoxsey for 25 years. The only good thing that came out of it is that the scandal forced Fishbein to resign.
Fishbein then offered Phil Hoyland, an investor in Beam Ray and an electrical engineer who had helped build the frequency instruments, legal assistance in an attempt to steal the company from Rife and the other investors. A lawsuit ensued.”
That lawsuit was the beginning of the end of Rife and his machines. Unable to withstand the attacks on his character and life’s work in court, Rife crumbled and turned to alcoholism (despite the fact that he ultimately won his case). The legal costs bankrupted him, and his Beam Ray company went out of business.
Fishbein continued to wield the power of the AMA to halt any further proper scientific investigations into Rife’s claims or his machine. The doctors that had previously supported Rife and his work suddenly fell silent. Arthur Kendall, one of Rife’s partners, suddenly retired to Mexico with a “gift” of a quarter of a million dollars. Other doctors were given large grants and AMA honors to shut their mouths and go back to prescribing pharmaceuticals. Major medical journals, predominantly funded by Big Pharma advertising revenues, refused to publish anyone’s work involving Rife’s theories or his machines.
Rife’s lab was also broken into, and documentation of his work including photographs and even pieces of his microscopes were stolen and vandalized. Then, in what would be too much coincidence for even a Hollywood movie, the multi-million dollar Burnett Lab was torched and destroyed just as its scientists were about to corroborate Rife’s findings.
Police illegally confiscated the rest of Rife’s research… and that was it. Fishbein would go down in history with a prestigious write up a medical career on “exposing quacks” (or, alternatively, financial “enemies” of Big Pharma’s chemical and surgery-based medicine model).
It wasn’t just Fishbein. There was a coordinated effort to ensure other doctors didn’t even attempt to follow in Rife’s footsteps.
Dr. Cornelius P. Rhoads, an oncologist, Rockefeller Institute alum and head of the chemical warfare service during the last two years of WWII, spent two decades from 1939-1959 as the head of Memorial Sloan Kettering — the nation’s premier chemotherapy advocate where Rhoads helped shape the newly emerging “treatment” of cancer with chemotherapy. He, too, prevented other doctors from even attempting to replicate Rife’s work, pulling strings to get research funding canceled for those who dared to try.
Rhoads not only prevented Dr. Irene Diller from announcing the discovery of the cancer micro-organism to the New York Academy of Sciences in 1950, but he got Dr. Caspe slapped with a nasty IRS investigation and her laboratory funds canceled after she announced a similar discovery in Rome three years later.
Rhoads, it should be pointed out, would also go down in history as a potential murderer.
In the 1930s, when Rhoads was down in Puerto Rico for the Rockefeller’s Anemia Commission, after a drunken night where he returned to find his car had been vandalized, he wrote a disgusting, racist confession of both murder and attempted murder by injecting people with cancer to a colleague:
“They [Puerto Ricans] are beyond doubt the dirtiest, laziest, most degenerate and thievish race of men ever inhabiting this sphere. It makes you sick to inhabit the same island with them. They are even lower than Italians. What the island needs is not public health work but a tidal wave or something to totally exterminate the population. It might then be livable. I have done my best to further the process of extermination by killing off 8 and transplanting cancer into several more. The latter has not resulted in any fatalities so far… The matter of consideration for the patients’ welfare plays no role here — in fact all physicians take delight in the abuse and torture of the unfortunate subjects.”
At least 13 people died under Rhoads’ “care” in Puerto Rico.
The Rockefeller public relations firm came out later to say Rhoads was simply writing a “fantastic and playful” letter for his own amusement, a satire piece. Token investigations, including one initiated by the Rockefeller Institute, claimed there was no evidence Rhoads had abused or neglected his patients. Interesting wording.
As far as history is concerned, you can believe Rhoads’ letter hasn’t been featured too prominently in his otherwise illustrious biography as a pioneer of chemotherapy.
And Today?
How many people have needlessly died from cancer that could have quickly, painlessly, and inexpensively been cured by Rife technology in the years since his research was suppressed? It’s a horrifying thought.
An acquaintnace of mine almost died from cancer. They gave her grueling chemotherapy treatments including one she later found out wasn’t even for the cancer type she had been diagnosed with. When all was said and done, and her immune system had been utterly destroyed but her cancer went into remission, the doctors told her it would probably come back in five to ten years. Friends, that. Is not a cure.
The reason the average person still believes dangerous and toxic chemotherapy actually “cures” cancer today is linked to greedy people and "Big Pharma". 
Greed, however, can’t keep the truth hidden from humanity forever… especially those truths which are so fundamentally obvious.
It’s 2017. How many years have people been dutifully donating money to cancer research and “running for the cure” without so much as a peep from the allopathic medical system about the cause?
Albeit quietly, we now have researchers coming out of the woodwork to verify the power of resonant frequencies to kill viruses and bacteria and to cure even life-threatening diseases, including cancer. Two doctors in 2014 published a paper in Global Advances in Health and Medicine titled “Life Rhythm as a Symphony of Oscillatory Patterns: Electromagnetic Energy and Sound Vibration Modulates Gene Expression for Biological Signaling and Healing”. In it, they concluded:
Hence, not only chemicals and physical energies like EMFs and sound vibrations, but even our emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and the way we develop our intentions and life rhythms can deeply transform our gene expression patterning at the cellular level. This finding may disclose unexpected chances to develop self-healing processes based on further utilization of this remarkable human potential…
 The paradigm emerging here moves from a purely biochemical viewpoint, based solely upon physical concepts of energy and momentum transfer and their implications for biochemistry, to a holistic, information-based paradigm. Much as a whisper might carry more gravitas than shouted words, science may now be uncovering the basic principles of a more subtle informational biology in which specific signaling behaviors can carry the power for healing.

After 70+ years, we all know how well the Big Pharma model of filling ourselves up with chemicals and ripping out our vital organs has served us… These aren’t “cures”. That system doesn’t heal.
It’s only a matter of time before the medical and scientific communities will be forced to admit Rife was right or risk losing the last few shreds of credibility they have in a world where its become all too obvious we’ve been purposefully held hostage in a technology bubble… to our own detriment.

Why Is Pope Francis Propagating Heresy?


Image result for pope francis memes
Expressing “profound grief” and “filial devotion,” Catholic clergy and lay scholars from around the world have issued what they are calling a “Filial Correction” to Pope Francis for “propagating heresy.”
The Filial Correction, in the form of a 25-page letter, bears the signatures of sixty-two Catholic academics, researchers, and scholars in various fields from twenty countries. They assert that Pope Francis has supported heretical positions about marriage, the moral life, and the Eucharist that are causing a host of “heresies and other errors” to spread throughout the Catholic Church. 
The correction was delivered to the Pope at his Santa Marta residence on August 11, 2017. No similar action has taken place within the Catholic Church since the Middle Ages, when Pope John XXII was admonished for errors which he later recanted on his deathbed. 
“With profound grief, but moved by fidelity to our Lord Jesus Christ, by love for the Church and for the papacy, and by filial devotion toward yourself, we are compelled to address a correction to Your Holiness on account of the propagation of heresies effected by the apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia and by other words, deeds and omissions of Your Holiness,” the signers write in the letter.
“As subjects, we do not have the right to issue to Your Holiness that form of correction by which a superior coerces those subject to him with the threat or administration of punishment,” they state. 
“We issue this correction, rather, to protect our fellow Catholics — and those outside the Church, from whom the key of knowledge must not be taken away — hoping to prevent the further spread of doctrines which tend of themselves to the profaning of all the sacraments and the subversion of the Law of God,” they add. 
The signers respectfully insist that Pope Francis condemn the heresies that he has “directly or indirectly upheld,” and that he teach the truth of the Catholic faith in its integrity. 
They say that they make “no judgment” about the Pope’s culpability in propagating the seven heresies they list. They add that it is not their task to “judge whether the sin of heresy has been committed” whereby a person “departs from the faith by doubting or denying some revealed truth with a full choice of the will.”
The letter was made public today, six weeks after the signers received no response from the Pope. 
Duty to correct
The 62 clergy and lay scholars explain that, as believing and practicing Catholics, they have the right and duty to issue such a correction to the Pope “by natural law, by the law of Christ, and by the law of the Church” and that the correction in no way undermines Catholic teaching on papal infallibility. 
The Catholic Church teaches that the Pope is infallible (incapable of error by a special gift of the Holy Spirit) when certain conditions are met. He teaches infallibly in his ordinary capacity when a doctrine is consistent, constant, and universal in relation to what the Church and other popes have always taught. Or in an extraordinary capacity, he teaches infallibly when he speaks “ex cathedra,” that is, when he speaks in the capacity of his office as Apostolic pastor and teacher for the purpose of defining a “doctrine of faith or morals to be held by the whole Church.” The Pope is not infallible in other matters, such as when he gives an off-the-cuff interview or presents his personal reflection on a given topic. 
“We adhere wholeheartedly to the doctrine of papal infallibility,” the signers state, adding that in their opinion “neither Amoris Laetitia nor any of the statements which have served to propagate the heresies which this exhortation insinuates are protected by that divine guarantee of truth.” The signers’ opinion that the exhortation is not infallible magisterial teaching is backed by leading churchmen, such as Cardinal Raymond Burke. 
The signers list a dozen passages from Amoris Laetitia that they say “serve to propagate seven heretical propositions.” 
Included in the list is the “smoking” footnote 351 where the Pope writes that those living in an objective situation of sin can receive the “help of the sacraments” to grow in the life of grace and charity. Many have interpreted this to mean that civilly-divorced-and-remarried Catholics living in adultery can receive Holy Communion, and the Pope has endorsed guidelines allowing this. Also included in the list is the text pertaining to couples living in adultery who, the Pope writes, see their situation as “what God himself is asking” of them, despite falling short of the “objective ideal.”
The scholars say that these passages along with a number of “words, deeds and omissions” of the Pope are “serving to propagate heresies within the Church.”
According to the signers, the “words, deeds and omissions” of Pope Francis that promote heresy include:  
  • Refusing to answer the dubia (five yes-or-no questions) submitted by the four cardinals (two of whom are now deceased) asking him to confirm that Amoris Laetitia does not abolish five teachings of the Catholic faith.
  • Forcibly intervening at the 2015 Synod of the Family where he insisted on inserting into a midterm report a proposal (that did not receive sufficient votes) to allow communion for adulterers and a proposal that pastors should emphasize the “positive aspects” of lifestyles the Church considers gravely sinful, including civil remarriage after divorce and premarital cohabitation.
  • Endorsing an interpretation of the exhortation by Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schönborn that allows for Holy Communion to be given to adulterers.
  • Affirming the statement of the bishops of the Buenos Aires region that allowed Communion to be given to adulterers, stating that “there are no other interpretations.”
  • Appointing to positions of influence within the Church men who publicly dissent from Catholic teaching on the sacraments, including Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia and Cardinal Kevin Farrell.
  • Allowing guidelines for the diocese of Rome to be issued under his authority that permit adulterers to receive communion under certain circumstances.
  • Leaving uncorrected the publication in L’Osservatore Romano, the official journal of the Holy See, the Maltese bishops’ interpretation of Amoris Laetitiathat allows communion for adulterers.
Seven heresies 
The Catholic clergy and lay scholars go on to list seven “false and heretical propositions” which they say Pope Francis “directly or indirectly” upholds through his “words, deeds, and omissions.” These seven propositions, listed below, are summaries of the positions which they attribute to Pope Francis and deem to be heretical.
  1. A justified person has not the strength with God’s grace to carry out the objective demands of the divine law, as though any of the commandments of God are impossible for the justified; or as meaning that God’s grace, when it produces justification in an individual, does not invariably and of its nature produce conversion from all serious sin, or is not sufficient for conversion from all serious sin.
  2. Christians who have obtained a civil divorce from the spouse to whom they are validly married and have contracted a civil marriage with some other person during the lifetime of their spouse, who live more uxorio [as husband and wife] with their civil partner, and who choose to remain in this state with full knowledge of the nature of their act and full consent of the will to that act, are not necessarily in a state of mortal sin, and can receive sanctifying grace and grow in charity.
  3. A Christian believer can have full knowledge of a divine law and voluntarily choose to break it in a serious matter, but not be in a state of mortal sin as a result of this action.
  4. A person is able, while he obeys a divine prohibition, to sin against God by that very act of obedience.
  5. Conscience can truly and rightly judge that sexual acts between persons who have contracted a civil marriage with each other, although one or both of them is sacramentally married to another person, can sometimes be morally right or requested or even commanded by God.
  6. Moral principles and moral truths contained in divine revelation and in the natural law do not include negative prohibitions that absolutely forbid particular kinds of action, inasmuch as these are always gravely unlawful on account of their object.
  7. Our Lord Jesus Christ wills that the Church abandon her perennial discipline of refusing the Eucharist to the divorced and remarried and of refusing absolution to the divorced and remarried who do not express contrition for their state of life and a firm purpose of amendment with regard to it.
The clergy and scholars state that these “propositions all contradict truths that are divinely revealed, and that Catholics must believe with the assent of divine faith.”
They add that it is “necessary” that such heresies be “condemned by the authority of the Church,” on account of the “great and imminent danger” they cause to souls. 
As one of the signers explained to LifeSiteNews, St. Thomas Aquinas taught that faithful Catholics have a duty to correct an erring prelate. He quoted the following passage from the saint’s famous theological work Summa Theologiae
If the faith were endangered, a subject ought to rebuke his prelate even publicly. Hence Paul, who was Peter’s subject, rebuked him in public, on account of the imminent danger of scandal concerning the faith, and, as the gloss of Augustine says on Gal. 2:11, Peter gave an example to superiors, that if at any time they should happen to stray from the straight path, they should not disdain to be reproved by their subjects.
The signers conclude the letter, writing: “At this critical hour, therefore, we turn to the cathedra veritatis [seat of truth], the Roman Church, which has by divine law pre-eminence over all the churches, and of which we are and intend always to remain loyal children, and we respectfully insist that Your Holiness publicly reject these propositions, thus accomplishing the mandate of our Lord Jesus Christ given to St Peter and through him to all his successors until the end of the world: ‘I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.’"
One significant name in the list of signers is that of Bishop Bernard Fellay, superior general of the traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). He signed the letter after it had already been submitted to the Pope. It remains to be seen how Fellay’s agreement with the content of the filial correction will affect Pope Francis’ recent efforts to integrate the SSPX legally into the Catholic Church.
Signs of the times
The filial correction comes after more than a year of the Pope not dialoguing or engaging with faithful Catholics who have approached him directly with serious concerns about how he is steering the Barque of Peter, the Church. The Pope has been sent letters, petitions, video messages, and official questions (the dubia), but all to no avail. Significant dates of attempts to dialogue with the Pope include:
  • September 29, 2015 – 791,000 Catholics (including 8 cardinals, over 200 bishops, and numerous priests, religious, and lay faithful representing 62 pro-family organizations) petition Pope Francis to end the “widespread confusion arising from the possibility that a breach has been opened within the Church that would accept adultery... and would virtually even accept homosexual unions.”
  • July 13, 2016 – 16 international life-and-family advocates plead with the Popeto “unambiguously speak the truth of the Catholic faith, to end doctrinal confusion, to restore clarity, and to be the Holy Father that Catholics need.”
  • July 11, 2016 – 45 Catholic scholars submit a letter to the cardinals and Eastern patriarchs of the Church asking them to petition the Pope to “repudiate a list of erroneous propositions” that can be drawn from Amoris Laetitia.
  • September 19, 2016 – Four cardinals (two of whom are now deceased) submit to the Pope five yes-or-no questions (dubia) asking if the exhortation conforms to perennial Catholic teaching on the moral life. The questions were never answered.
  • January 18, 2017 – Three Eastern European bishops launch a “spiritual crusade” urging the Pope to “revoke in an unequivocal manner” pastoral guidelines stemming from Amoris Laetitia that allow adulterers to receive Holy Communion.
  • April 25, 2017 – The four dubia cardinals unsuccessfully ask the Pope for a private audience to discuss “confusion and disorientation” within the Church after the publication of Amoris Laetitia.
The filial correction comes as a "formal correction" of the Pope from cardinals may be imminent. 
Cardinal Raymond Burke, one of the dubia Cardinals, told The Wanderer last month that this "formal correction" would involve a clear presentation of the Church's teaching on the points at issue, alongside what the Pope is actually saying on those points. "If there is a contradiction, the Roman Pontiff is called to conform his own teaching in obedience to Christ and the Magisterium of the Church,” he said. 
"It is done very simply by a formal declaration to which the Holy Father would be obliged to respond," he said.
Burke said he and the other three cardinals – Walter Brandmuller, Joachim Meisner, and Carlo Caffarra (the latter two now deceased) – issued the dubia "in order to give [Pope Francis] the occasion to set forth the Church’s unchanging teaching."
"Pope Francis has chosen not to respond to the five dubia, so it is now necessary simply to state what the Church teaches about marriage, the family, acts that are intrinsically evil, and so forth," he explained. "These are the points that are not clear in the current teachings of the Roman Pontiff; therefore, this situation must be corrected. The correction would then direct itself principally to those doctrinal points."
In an interview this week with Australia's Catholic Outlook, Burke said the need for a response to the dubia is urgent because of the "harm done to souls by the confusion and error."
"The urgency weighs very heavily on my heart,” he said.
