St. Pius X on Today's Lunatics and Franny1

 In the early 1900's, no less, St. Pius X penned the following in his condemnation of Le Sillon:

“The audacity and frivolity of men who call themselves Catholics and dream of re-shaping society… and of establishing on earth, over and beyond the pale of the Catholic Church, ‘the reign of love and justice’ … A mere verbal and chimerical construction in which we shall see, glowing in a jumble, and in seductive confusion, the words Liberty, Justice, Fraternity, Love, Equality, and human exultation, all resting upon an ill-understood human dignity... Yes, we can truly say that the Sillon*, its eyes fixed on a chimera, brings Socialism in its train” (Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique)
The Sillon....a French political and religious movement founded by Marc Sangnier (1873–1950), which existed from 1894 to 1910. It aimed to bring Catholicism into a greater conformity with French Republican and socialist ideals, in order to provide an alternative to Marxism and other anticlerical labour movements. 

That chimera is still out there, and the Sillon movement became the Deep State, with the Wilson/FDR Democrat Party as its linchpin in the US.  

Now comes Franny1, reviving Le Sillon!

It is evident that Franny1 never read Pius' document--or more likely, if he did, he doesn't care.

...Pope Francis reiterated the centrality of the vulnerable as well as the urgency of countering the triple "scourge" of corruption, abuse of power, and lawlessness—both in politics and in society—in his address on Wednesday with representatives of the DIALOP transversal dialogue project.

This is a dialogue project between socialists/Marxists, communists, and Christians aimed at formulating a common social ethic that can be proposed as a new narrative for a Europe in search of its identity, with an integral ecology between the Social Doctrine of the Church and Marxist social critique at its core.

The initiative was born in 2014 after a meeting between Pope Francis, Alexis Tsipras, then president of the Syriza party and later Greek prime minister after 2015, Walter Baier, president of the Party of the European Left, and Franz Kronreif of the Focolare Movement (both present at the audience)....

Franny1 is moving quickly through his agenda, knowing that his final breath is near.  

Pray for him that he may return to the Church!

That's not enough to make him a pope.
