The Pope has never truly recognized the separation of Church and State as a good thing, ordained by God. Rather, he has always used his power to subvert this principle. The history of the Papacy bears abundant witness to that, as does a recent “reflection” of the Pope.
On October 19, the National Catholic Reporter informed its readers about the Pope’s latest violation of the separation of Church and State. According to its report,
Francis called for the reform of immigration policies to increase regular, legal channels for migration, recognizing national economic and demographic policies, but always putting “the most vulnerable at the center.”
And, he said, those policies should recognize the benefits migrants bring to their new homelands, including “the growth of more inclusive, more beautiful and more peaceful societies.”
Now, the Pope is a spirit who likes to portray himself as a religious leader, even the visible head of Christendom — and here he is demanding nations adopt his preferred policies on immigration. From this it necessarily follows that the Papal lip service to the separation of Church and State is nothing but devilish deception, as befits the Pope. Truly, Pope Pius X and Pope Francis speak with one voice, saying: “That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error.”
Now, how is one to judge this rejection of the separation of Church and State? Fortunately, our Lord gives us the answer when He says: “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” So those who would even attempt to bring down this wall of separation are judged by God as not being His servants. But whoever does not serve Christ, serves the devil, Luke 11:23.1
1. “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.”
