The Five Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate who caused the intervention

I am not certain if anyone has previously mentioned just who these five are, but I always had my suspicions given that my friend, a former FFI, always referred back to the blog posts of his former superior as a way to counter the points I raised when trying to get through to him just how terribly unjust the whole ordeal has been. In reading Rorate today I came across the article regarding the Sisters and their presently unfolding inquisition, wherein it was mentioned that, while as a whole the friars have all been silenced, the five instigators are left to blog as they wish undisturbed. That's when it clicked and I returned to the Mary Victrix blog and read Father Angelo Mary Geiger's latest post from the 25th in which he admits to being one of the five initial complainants. So I thought I'd share. I also realize now why my friend's opinion on the whole thing has been so corrupted.

Fr Angelo writes:

"I am one of the original five friars who appealed to the Holy See concerning the problems within our Institute. I mention this in the interests of full disclosure."

He goes on to state that his post was co-written with the help of Fr. Agnellus Maria Murphy and published with the approval of Fr. Alfonso Maria Bruno.

This blog has a pretty good treating of the issue.

Here's an brief glimpse into this man's mind. Notice how he implies Pope Francis was "sent by God" and has "prophetic graces."

It would be a near occasion of sin for me to read his blog because I would be tempted to say some very uncharitable things.

So that is how this inquisition started. Pope Francis took over, and they felt they could pull this off and get away with it.

No, they started their insurrection under Pope Benedict and for whatever reason, he didn't get it resolved.

The modernists are empowered. The gloves are coming off. Until this Papacy is over, or Divine intervention occurs, we are in for one of the most destructive periods in the Church ever witnessed.

Why do these people wage war against Jesus Christ? Their vile treason is as baffling as it is repugnant. Do they hate Him so much?

No, I don't think they hate him. I think they are mostly lost and too often conflate their own personal feelings, ideas, and desires with the identity of Jesus and before long have a distorted concept of Christ and the Gospels. It is anthropocentricism at its foundation though they are likely too awash in confusion to see that. Then there are certainly those in the minority who use these useful idiots to full advantage. These individuals are the more nefarious, and with full awareness reject Jesus as he has been understood century after century. They are fully blinded by pride and think their conception of him to be more enlightened. They often reject his divinity. Then yet an even smaller minority are those who can be deemed real enemies and who throw their lot in with satanists. These are the one's actively working to destroy the Church.
