The Resurrection: “feast of hope” for Bergoglio; “feast of certainty” for the real christians

 

A)  The text of the speech by J.M.Bergoglio:

Easter is the “feast of hope” because God’s love never dissatisfies. … There is a stone to be rolled away into the night leading to Easter. And it is not only the stone that closes the tomb of Christ, but it is that of the “lack of hope that locks us inside ourselves”. … it is hope, in fact, that pushes Peter to run to the tomb of the Lord: “He did not remain sit thinking, nor did he remain at home as the others. He did not succumb to the sombre atmosphere of those days, nor was he overwhelmed by his doubts. He was not consumed by remorse, fear or the continuous gossip that leads nowhere. He was looking for Jesus, not himself. He preferred the path of encounter and trust”.
In a sense … that gesture was “the beginning of Peter’s ‘resurrection’, the resurrection of his heart”, which allowed the light of God to enter into his heart, “without smothering it” …. Hope that “is not mere optimism”, nor “a psychological attitude” or “an invitation to be courageous”, but is “a gift of God that does not dissatisfy”: ” The Paraclete does not make everything look appealing. He does not remove evil with a magic wand. But he pours into us the vitality of life, which is not the absence of problems, but the certainty of being loved and always forgiven by Christ, who for us has won over sin, death and fear. Today is the celebration of our hope, the celebration of this certainty: nothing and no one will ever be able to separate us from his love (cf. Rom 8:39)” (Easter Vigil in the Holy Night – Vatican Basilica – article from www.news.va –  Holy Saturday, 26 March 2016)

 

B) References to Scriptures:

On the first day of the week, at the first sign of dawn, they went to the tomb with the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, but on entering they could not find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled about this, two men in brilliant clothes suddenly appeared at their side. Terrified, the women bowed their heads to the ground. But the two said to them, ‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here; he has risen” (Luk 24:1-6a)

In hope, we already have salvation; in hope, not visibly present, or we should not be hoping — nobody goes on hoping for something which is already visible” (Rom 8:24)

 

C) Comment:

For Bergoglio, the resurrection is the “feast of hope”.

For true Christians, the resurrection is the “feast of certainty”.

All is based on this essential and substantial difference.

Or you believe that Christ is truly risen, and from this certainty Christianity is. Or, if hope does not turn into certainty, the true and authentic Christianity is not and never will be.

Already on Good Friday, at the end of the apparent rite of the Via Crucis, Bergoglio unclothed of Its essence and substance, the Cross of Christ. In fact, Bergoglio presents the Holy Cross as terminal and symbol of both Good but also of evil, thus overturning the true meaning of the Holy Cross, that for Christians is only and only symbol of victory over the world and over every evil (that, on the contrary, is won thanks to the Holy Cross).

Bergoglio is not credible when he speaks of the cross. How can Bergoglio make us believe to truly pray to the Holy Cross of Christ after he repeatedly blasphemed Christ and His Holy Cross? One who appears but it is not, has stated indeed: the Cross of Jesus expresses all the negative force of evil; the Cross is a scandal; Jesus, when he complains, blasphemes? The Mystery is this; the Via Crucis is the story of the failure of God; Jesus made himself like a snake, ugly to make sick; Christ crucified on the hammer and sickle is art of protest; the madness of the Cross that is the annihilation of the Son of God; Jesus made himself like a snake… and this is the mystery of Christ. These are the rotten fruits of the tree of Bergoglio.

Now, on the Easter Vigil, Bergoglio presents the Resurrection of Christ as the “feast of hope”. But, for true Christians, it is really with the resurrection of Christ that hope becomes certainty. Bergoglio speaks as if Christ had not risen. Here is the insidious and subtle deception imparted to the whole world, that is in the intimacy deeply narcotised by the poison of iniquity and cannot react.

Christ with His resurrection, from “hope”, becomes “certainty”.

“Christ is risen, alleluia. He is truly risen, alleluia, alleluia”.
