The Mike Church Show #2130 – Passing of Pope Francis and Trump Administration Blocked by SCOTUS

HEADLINE: Pope Francis, first Latin American pontiff who ministered with a charming, humble style, dies at 88 by Nicole Winfield 

• The Pontiff, who died today aged 88 at the Saint Martha residence in the Vatican, ‘passed away peacefully’, according to his doctors.
• He reportedly woke up when his alarm went off at 6am, fell ill at 7am and died from a stroke around 7.30am, according to Corriere della Serra.

HEADLINE: Pope Francis’s ‘final 90 minutes’: Pontiff ‘was woken at 6am by alarm clock, fell ill at 7 and died at 7.35′ – as ’cause of death reveals he did not to succumb to pneumonia’ by Miriam Kuepper and James Reynolds

• What do you do now?
• If you are the Trump administration, what do you do now?
• The longer this goes on, the worse it gets.
• Rep Van Hollen not only doubled down, he tripled down.
• The Democrat party are ready to die on this hill it seems.
• It isn’t just about Trump, it is about 74.5 million people that voted for Trump to do the things he is doing.
• That is what he ran on.
• That is what we voted for.
• We are in a 1860 South Carolina/Lincoln moment here.

• What is this Scrapple stuff that was sent to us?

AARP vs Donald Trump 

• And although the Court does not specify what it means by “[t]he Government,” it appears that the term is intended to embrace all the named defendants, including the President. 
• This is simply stunning!
• It is questionable whether the applicants complied with the general obligation to seek emergency injunctive relief in the District Court before asking for such relief from an appellate court. Fed. Rules App. Proc. 8(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(C). When the applicants requested such relief in the District Court, they insisted on a ruling within 45 minutes on Good Friday afternoon, and when the District Court did not act within 133 minutes, they filed a notice of appeal, which the District Court held deprived it of jurisdiction. See ECF Doc. 41, at 3–4. It is doubtful that this aborted effort satisfied Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 8(a)(1)(C).

AUDIO/VIDEO: President Trump at White House – I just signed an executive order putting the flags of our country all of them, at half-mast in honor of Pope Francis. He was a good man, worked hard and loved the world.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Karoline Leavitt on Fox – Senator Chris Van Hollen – Shame on Senator Chris Van Hollen and the entire Democrat party who wasted Easter Sunday going on every television show in the country to advocate the return of an illegal criminal gang member. There is a litany of evidence proving his ties to MS-13, multiple law officers confirm his gang affiliation. We will continue to focus on deporting these illegal criminals from our county. An overwhelming number of Americans support the continued deportation efforts of this administration. 

• Abrego Garcia has no Constitutional rights.
• He is NOT an American citizen.
• Two immigration judges says he had MS-13 connections.
• One immigration judge ordered his deportation already.
• What is the issue here?
• Why is the left using THIS guy for their immigration deportation stance?
• Illegal invaders have no rights, end of story.

• Francis didn’t change Catholic teaching, but he pushed a moral relativism in which theology and doctrine are negotiable.
• Upon his death Easter Monday morning at age 88, it’s fair to say that Francis took his own advice, making a mess of his pontificate and leaving the Catholic Church in a state of confusion and disarray.
• Under Francis, great changes in the Catholic Church always seemed to be on the way but never arrived in full. Time and again, what Francis gave with one hand he withdrew with the other. The result was not some big reform or change in doctrine leading to schism, but deepening chaos and division in a church already on the brink of open war.
• Pope Francis opened up questions that previously were closed, and in so doing created divisions and confusion that will require, at some future point, definitive clarification and decision. Perhaps these questions will have to be settled by an ecumenical council tasked with cleaning up the mess Francis made. But for now, as the cardinals of the Catholic Church gather in Rome for a conclave to select Francis’ successor, a cloud of uncertainty, even of dread, hangs over the Holy See. That’s the true legacy of Pope Francis.
• We should all be praying for the Pope and the repose of his soul.
• Pray for a new, good, holy Pope.
• The world may not know it but the human race, the people need a great Pope right now.
• Not a good one, not an average one, a GREAT one.

• Examples of the problematic nature of his pontificate abound, from his offhand comments, to his choice of close advisors, to his official acts. It would be impossible to list them all, but a small sampling should suffice to demonstrate the failings of his reign.
• There’s Amoris Latitia, which used tortured logic to open up the reception of Holy Communion to those who were in a state of grave sin. Then there was Traditionis Custodes, which was a petty attempt to crush the very demographic in the Church that was growing, simply because it didn’t conform to his 1960’s version of Catholicism. In 2019 Francis signed the Abu Dhabi Declaration, which claimed that God willed various religions and put Islam on essentially the same footing as Catholicism. Disturbingly, we don’t even know all the details of his scandalous deal with the Chinese government, because it’s been kept secret from us.

• It didn’t take long for liberal reformers in the Catholic hierarchy — especially those in western Europe who had done so much to elect him — to see that in Francis they had a pope that would be willing, for reasons of his own, to push the boundaries of Catholic doctrine on contentious moral issues like homosexuality, marriage and divorce, and the ordination of women. Modernist, liberal reformers thought the revolutionary changes that had been impossible under Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI might finally be within reach under Francis.
• We are still dealing w/ the homosexuality issues and scandals.
• Francis allowed the boundaries to be pushed just far enough to sow confusion over issues that should be — and according to Catholic teaching, actually are — clear-cut. Indeed, the true legacy of Francis is not opening the church to gay marriage, divorce and re-marriage, the ordination of women or any other major doctrinal reform, but opening up questions about these things that will now have to be answered definitively by a future pontificate.
