Refusing to Pray for the Dead = Grave Error
Theological Analysis: What the Church Actually Teaches
❌ 1. Refusing to Pray for the Dead = Grave Error
Catholic doctrine strongly encourages prayer for the dead — especially for enemies and sinners. Even if someone might be in hell, we are not permitted to presume it, since only God judges hearts at the moment of death.
“We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to Him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance.”
— Catechism of the Catholic Church, §2283
This applies even to suicide — let alone theological confusion. In other words: if we are called to pray even for those who appear to have died in sin, how much more should we pray for those whose fate is uncertain?
The Kurgan says it’s prideful to pray for the Pope’s soul. The Church says it’s charitable humility.
❌ 2. “If He’s in Hell, What’s the Point?”
This shows a complete misunderstanding of the Catholic theology of petition and intercession. We do not pray to change God’s mind. We pray in hope — not because we know the outcome, but because we do not.
“It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.”
— 2 Maccabees 12:46
(Cited in Church teaching for 2,000 years.)
The Kurgan’s logic leads to this absurdity:
"If someone might be in hell, don’t pray for them. If they’re not in hell, God doesn’t need your prayer. So don’t pray."
Which is like saying:
“If a fire might be out, don’t throw water. If it isn’t, you’re wasting water.”
That’s not theology. That’s pseudospiritual nihilism.
❌ 3. “Deprived of Human Charity” – Misuse of Cum Ex Apostolatus Officio
This bull by Paul IV (1559) is often misunderstood and misapplied — especially by sedevacantists. The idea that heretics must be “deprived of every human charity” was tied to specific legal effects regarding ecclesiastical office and governance, not a moral prohibition against praying for their souls.
In fact, charity is a theological virtue. You can't just revoke it because you’re angry. The Church doesn’t teach that we should stop loving sinners — especially after death.
To twist cum ex into a call for hatred of the damned is not Catholic. It’s Calvinist.
๐ฅ II. Logical Fallacies and Contradictions
⚠️ 1. The “I’m Human, So I Can’t Be Charitable” Dodge
“I’m human. Not God.”
Except… that’s not an excuse for withholding charity. It’s exactly why you should show it. Because your own sins have also made you fall short. We don’t become more like God by withholding mercy — we become more like Him by extending it.
Also, this contradicts his usual tone:
“I have a high IQ and a Crusader spirit. I see through lies. I crush heretics.”
So he’s superhuman when condemning others — but suddenly just a man when asked to be merciful?
That’s selective humility, and it’s not real.
⚠️ 2. “I Don’t Know if He Repented — So I Know He Didn’t”
This contradiction is staggering.
Kurgan admits:
“You have NO WAY of knowing if he repented.”
Then declares:
“Therefore it’s a waste of time to pray.”
That’s not logic. That’s nihilism with a sword.
You don’t withhold prayer because God might not apply it — you offer it because you love God, and want what He wants:
“God desires that all men be saved.”
— 1 Timothy 2:4
⚠️ 3. “Prayer is a Sin of Pride”
To call a prayer a sin of pride because it assumes mercy is pure spiritual gaslighting. The sin of pride is believing you have the authority to decide who deserves hell. Kurgan’s refusal to pray isn’t humble — it’s the ultimate pride:
“I will not serve. I will not hope. I will not pray.”
That’s not St. Michael. That’s Lucifer.
๐ III. Kurgan’s Contradictions With Himself
Let’s not forget:
This is the same man who wants everyone to forgive him for being a fornicator, materialist, hypnotist, and believer in reincarnation.
And yet, he won’t even say a prayer for a man baptized in the Church — no matter how heretical he thinks that man became.
๐งจ So to summarize Kurgan's theology:
When it's him | When it's anyone else |
---|---|
"I was wrong but learned and changed!" | "You sinned. Burn forever." |
"I was a materialist hypnotist." | "He didn’t kneel fast enough — heretic!" |
"I found truth eventually." | "You didn't denounce Vatican II in 1965? Too late." |
"I deserve grace." | "He deserves fire." |
He grants to himself what he denies to others. That’s not justice. That’s self-worship.
✝️ Final Verdict: The Gospel of Uncharity
Kurgan calls this “brutal honesty.” But in truth, it’s brutal betrayal of the Gospel.
-
Jesus prayed for His murderers on the Cross.
-
Stephen prayed for those stoning him.
-
Catholics have always prayed for the dying — especially their enemies.
The fact that The Kurgan is more disturbed by a whispered prayer for Francis than he is by the idea of never praying at all reveals just how far his soul has drifted from Catholicism.
He’s not defending the faith.
He’s defending his disgust.
The real tragedy isn’t that he won’t pray for Francis.
It’s that he can’t imagine why anyone would want to.
And that tells you everything.
