[Greek] ἀπειλή (apeilē), [Latin] loquere, [French] parler, [French] chasser: threat, threatening, harm to others; Acts 4:17, 29, Acts 9:1, Eph.6:9
From within the Church, Pope Francis and his inner circle are seeking to remake Jesus’ Church into a worldly synodal Church (in the image of man). This is how worldly values and sin enter into the Church.

Scripture:
Peter and John being brought before the Sanhedrin: Acts 4:17-22
- Peter and John were preaching about Jesus and healing others.
- The Sanhedrin asked, ‘By what power or by what name have you done this?”
- The Sanhedrin was amazed Peter’s and John’s boldness.
- The Sanhedrin ordered Peter and John to leave the Sanhedrin.
- The Sanhedrin asks, ‘What are we to do with these men?’
- The Sanhedrin gave these men a stern warning never again to speak to anyone in His name.
- Paul and John say it is impossible not to speak about what they have seen and heard.
- The Sanhedrin found that there was no way to punish them.
Acts 4:29: Lord, take note of their threats and enable your servant to speak you word will all boldness
Acts 9:1: Paul breathed murderous threats against the disciple of the Lord.
Eph.6:9: Masters, act in the same way toward servants, and stop bullying.
- The Bergoglian reign of terror:
- Pope Francis removed Bishop Strickland for having the audacity for upholding Church teachings.
- Pope Francis removed Cardinal Burke from his premises for criticizing him.
- Pope Francis has criticized Catholics favoring tradition as ones who have a “disease of nostalgia.”
- Another cancelled priest refuse to sign a loyalty oath to modernism.
- Traditiones Custodies is essentially shutting down the Traditional Latin Mass in Pope Francis’ effort to promote his Modernist ideology.

Etymology: The Latin verb loquere means to say to speak, and to tell. A soliloquy is a speaking out loud one’s thought. The Latin verb minare mean to drive, to push, to force, and to threaten. The French verb parler means to talk. The French verb chasser means to hunt.
Conclusion:
Soliloquy, eloquent, undermine, mine, parler, chase, menace
In the Old Testament, this term also refers to idols, causes of terror, storming, and indignation.
In the New Testament, the Sanhedrin were essentially powerless in curtailing the efforts of Peter, John and the other Christians. These warning and threats further emboldened the Christians.
Update: It is significant to note that Pope Francis had to issue Traditiones Custodies in order to clamp down on the GROWING POPULARITY AND DEVOTION of the Traditional Latin Mass. Pope Francis has perceived the growing interest in TLM as a threat to his Modernist agenda.
As, a result, Pope Francis just marginalized conservatives and traditional Catholics. Pope Francis has continued to fuel for division and chaos in the Church. Pope Francis has become a threat to Church unity. Pope Francis accuses his critics for “they have not abandoned their ecclesial ideologies.” Not very welcoming from someone who seeks a welcoming Church.
Fiducia Supplicans: This document calls for blessings for same-sex couples, essentially BLESSING SIN. Pope Francis criticizes his opponents for being divisive. Can you say ‘the pot calling the kettle black’???
Pope Francis continues to present himself as a bullying and vindictive clerical authority who removes others who do not tow the “Modernist” line.
And yet Bishop Strickland has become more and more emboldened in stating the truth and upholding Church Teachings.
Pope Francis has inadvertently created a growing and thriving underground network of Catholics who seek the Traditional Latin Mass.
Pope Francis continues to show disdain for Tradition, traditional priests, and conservative Catholics.
In his efforts to remake Jesus’ Church into worldly synodal Church, Pope Francis continues to foment confusion, chaos, and uncertainty in church teachings and practices. This is what Pope Pius X warned us about!
Pope Francis punishes faithful bishops and hides, appoints, and promotes questionable priests.
