Editor’s Note: All Portugal knows that the Holy ever-Virgin Mother of God came to Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, as God’s Ambassador, warning of the evils of Russia and how Communism would deceive the nations. Therefore, this Cardinal, whose small diocese is not even one hour’s drive from Fatima, has no excuse.

Compare this behavior of the Cardinal above, appointed in 2023 by Pope Francis, to the doctrine contained in this decree of the Holy Office in 1949, to understand to what extent Freemasonry has disorientated members of the Hierarchy:

A Note about Dialogue

There has been a lot of talk about “dialogue” since Vatican II. As a thing, dialogue is the verbal exchange among two or more persons. It has no particular or specific definition of motive or content. And thus, like all errors of materialism, those who “promote dialogue” as a means of arriving at the truth are involved in a patent deception, because it is impossible to arrive at the truth through dialogue without certain preconditions being meant: namely, that all parties accept that words have objective meaning, that all parties agree on what “truth” means, and that all parties want to discover or share the truth.

But for Catholics the truth not only means the conformity of the mind to reality, as it is, but in recognizing that reality as it is, is from the living God, Who became incarnate in Jesus Christ, in the womb of the Immaculate Virgin, to save mankind from original sin, without Whose saving Teaching and Gifts, which include the Catholic Church and membership in Her, it is impossible for man to be saved.

Seeing that Catholics have the fullness of Truth, Jesus Christ, not only as our One Master and Teacher, but possess Him truly, really and substantially in the Most Blessed Sacrament, in the manner He desires, we have nothing to contribute to a dialogue in which the other party does not agree with this fullness.

Any proposal to dialogue outside of these conditions is merely a ideological trick to deceive the faithful and change the Catholic Faith, just as Satan, having taken the form of a snake, deceived Eve through dialogue. For this reason, nearly every proposal of “dialogue” since Vatican Ii is nothing but an invitation to apostasy, by preferring the human respect with our contemporaries in error to the obedience and faith we should have as faithful servants of God, for God Himself.

Thus, this Cardinal has imitated Eve the sinner and has failed Christ. His excuses will not save him from condemnation on the Last Day. Nor should they convince us to tolerate such an abuse of his office in our own days.

God Himself teaches indirectly that it is a sin for Catholics to “dialogue” in the modern sense of the term, because since we have the fullness of truth, He commanded and commands us to preach the Good News to every creature. And as every Catholic knows, preaching does not include even for a moment any sort of such dialogue. It is authoritative, declaratory, perceptive, insistent, urgent. And as Christ reminds us the preaching of His Good News is the best thing for mankind, because if freely accepted, it saves, and yet, it is also the most momentous, because when freely rejected, it condemns eternally. This effect happens whenever we share Catholic Truth, whether we be clergy or laity, and regardless of who hears us, whether willingly or not. And those who say that this is contrary to human liberty are clearly the boldest of liars.

“Dialogue” thus is a betrayal of the Gospel obligation towards truth, and its proponents are worst than Judas Iscariots. A thing we must remember always.
