In the News – Novus Ordo Orders and Parishes Begin To Fade Out As People Begin To Abandon The Revolution Within The Church And Return To Roman Catholic Tradition

Freemasonry has become metastasized into the religions of the world, into our governments and culture . Few entities are in the in the old order of authentic trinitarian liturgical worship Our President is the first President of the United States to refuse any chair or honorary position in the grand lodge in Washington DC and for this the powers that be have lined up against him to destroy him He is the wild card that they did not predict – a type of King David – with many faults – but slowly becoming a terror to the demons

The world is headed towards a global humanism , a one world religion , the fraternity to an identical deity , that dethrones Christ and installs man and the rights of man in the center of the temple and authentic traditional Roman Catholicism is the last remaining fortress that stands in its way

St. Richard of Wyche’s -Chichester_Cathedral

The violations against established Catholic teachings of the eternal magisterium are too numerous to collect in one place on this subject but here are a few key examples

Although Pius XI was adamant in his Pontificate and his writings that is impossible to be Socialist and Christian Vatican II expert periti went on the record as saying ‘ O contrare – although I would not give my life for Socialism , UI can say intellectually that the Socialist structure is as Christian , or more so , that the Capitalist structure .

According to J.B. Metz and Maumhauer’s of the new Catholic world order “They joined together in defense of integral humanism taking the word from the Marxists who aspire to the same object although through different roads

We see the Church is now trying to steal the message of contemporary atheism’s humanitarian claims submitting its solidarity in the struggle in favor of the generic human being.

In 1850 Marx stirred up the bees nest of revolutionary uprising via the new principal of the universal ownership of goods. Pope Paul VI informed the world in his ‘Populorum progressio’ that 2/3 of the world is in misery and the other 1/3 needs to be overthrown Received with much frivolity and rejoicing among the Marxists and their hopes for the Church and the new world order.

Lenin’s thesis is revisited with force “Unity in this truly revolutionary struggle of an oppressed class to create a paradise on earth is more important to us than a unity of opinion about any matters concerning paradise in heaven”

Dom Helda Camera proponent of the redefinition of the Holy Spirit moving through the Church and the Charismatic Catholic renewal coupled together inseparably with liberation theology and overthrowing Capitalism ‘Stated the objectives most clearly The Red Archbishop of Recife brazil announced the goal of the Conciliar Church was to condemn Capitalism as being an intrinsically evil regime

Communists always align themselves first with the social teaching of humanitarianism , the desire for some good and some good for mankind Abolishing suffering , pain , hunger, and an improved state of humanity with less worries.”

To include this mindset Vatican II ‘s documents and teachings includes much of this thinking . In Guadium Et Spes it explains, “The amplitude of the reality of the messianic people includes all men and now includes atheists and communists”

It says in the end of this humanist Vatican II document “we also turn our thoughts to all who acknowledge God and preserve elements of tradition in this new humanity” Isn’t nice that the Conciliar Church would also want to acknowledge God in its new world order.

Cdl Raul Silva Henriquez affirmed the following “Vatican II/ Lumen Gentium proposes the new doctrinal definition of all people being the people of God and includes all men and has no exceptions” The Council has overcome sin in the same way the doctors have overcome down syndrome just kill it from sight and mention.

German intellectuals of liberal protestantism celebrated the new conciliar Catholicism in the streets Ernesto Buonaiuti famous Italian modernist The new and gnostic Catholic Church is broad and rightly tolerant of all things and all peoples As it matures the drean if Modernsim is showing itself increasingly to be what it always was , the ideal of the rebirth of Christianity and the reconciliation of various confessions and religions based on elementary experiences that religiousity in general and Chistianity in particular continue to offer to the human spirit thereby trassncending and obviating dogmatic and disciplinary faith in favor of the needs of collective life in the current space and time  Citing credit to A. Guimraes collection

The Old And New Covenant Side By Side

From the book of Numbers 11:4-6, 10-30 – The Establishment of the Priesthood Over The People

The foreign elements among them were so greedy for meat that even the Israelites lamented again, “Would that we had meat for food! We remember the fish we used to eat without cost in Egypt, and the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. But now we are famished; we see nothing before us but this manna.”

When Moses heard the people, family after family, crying at the entrance of their tents, so that the Lord became very angry, he was grieved. “Why do you treat your servant so badly?” Moses asked the Lord. “Why are you so displeased with me that you burden me with all this people? Was it I who conceived all this people? or was it I who gave them birth, that you tell me to carry them at my bosom, like a foster father carrying an infant, to the land you have promised under oath to their fathers? Where can I get meat to give to all this people? For they are crying to me, ‘Give us meat for our food.’ I cannot carry all this people by myself, for they are too heavy for me. If this is the way you will deal with me, then please do me the favor of killing me at once, so that I need no longer face this distress.”

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Assemble for me seventy of the elders of Israel, men you know for true elders and authorities among the people, and bring them to the meeting tent. When they are in place beside you, I will come down and speak with you there. I will also take some of the spirit that is on you and will bestow it on them, that they may share the burden of the people with you. You will then not have to bear it by yourself.

“To the people, however, you shall say: Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, when you shall have meat to eat. For in the hearing of the Lord you have cried, ‘Would that we had meat for food! Oh, how well off we were in Egypt!’ Therefore the Lord will give you meat for food, and you will eat it, not for one day, or two days, or five, or ten, or twenty days, but for a whole month—until it comes out of your very nostrils and becomes loathsome to you. For you have spurned the Lord who is in your midst, and in his presence you have wailed, ‘Why did we ever leave Egypt?’”

But Moses said, “The people around me include six hundred thousand soldiers; yet you say, ‘I will give them meat to eat for a whole month.’ Can enough sheep and cattle be slaughtered for them? If all the fish of the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?” The Lord answered Moses, “Is this beyond the Lord’s reach? You shall see now whether or not what I have promised you takes place.”

So Moses went out and told the people what the Lord had said. Gathering seventy elders of the people, he had them stand around the tent. The Lord then came down in the cloud and spoke to him. Taking some of the spirit that was on Moses, he bestowed it on the seventy elders; and as the spirit came to rest on them, they prophesied.

Now two men, one named Eldad and the other Medad, were not in the gathering but had been left in the camp. They too had been on the list, but had not gone out to the tent; yet the spirit came to rest on them also, and they prophesied in the camp. So, when a young man quickly told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp,” Joshua, son of Nun, who from his youth had been Moses’ aide, said, “Moses, my lord, stop them.” But Moses answered him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the people of the Lord were prophets! Would that the Lord might bestow his spirit on them all!” Then Moses retired to the camp, along with the elders of Israel.

From a letter by Saint Maximus the Confessor, abbot – Call upon the pagans to repent to the new ordained Priesthood

God’s will is to save us, and nothing pleases him more than our coming back to him with true repentance. The heralds of truth and the ministers of divine grace have told us this from the beginning, repeating it in every age. Indeed, God’s desire for our salvation is the primary and preeminent sign of his infinite goodness. It was precisely in order to show that there is nothing closer to God’s heart that the divine Word of God the Father, with untold condescension, lived among us in the flesh, and did, suffered, and said all that was necessary to reconcile us to God the Father, when we were at enmity with him, and to restore us to the life of blessedness from which we had been exiled. He healed our physical infirmities by miracles; he freed us from our sins, many and grievous as they were, by suffering and dying, taking them upon himself as if he were answerable for them, sinless though he was. He also taught us in many different ways that we should wish to imitate him by our own kindness and genuine love for one another.

So it was that Christ proclaimed that he had come to call sinners to repentance, not the righteous, and that it was not the healthy who required a doctor, but the sick. He declared that he had come to look for the sheep that was lost, and that it was to the lost sheep of the house of Israel that he had been sent. Speaking more obscurely in the parable of the silver coin, he tells us that the purpose of his coming was to reclaim the royal image, which had been coated with the filth of sin. You can be sure there is joy in heaven, he said, over one sinner who repents.

To give the same lesson he revived the man who, having fallen into the hands of the brigands, had been left stripped and half-dead from his wounds; he poured wine and oil on the wounds, bandaged them, placed the man on his own mule and brought him to an inn, where he left sufficient money to have him cared for, and promised to repay any further expense on his return.

Again, he told of how that Father, who is goodness itself, was moved with pity for his profligate son who returned and made amends by repentance; how he embraced him, dressed him once more in the fine garments that befitted his own dignity, and did not reproach him for any of his sins.

So too, when he found wandering in the mountains and hills the one sheep that had strayed from God’s flock of a hundred, he brought it back to the fold, but he did not exhaust it by driving it ahead of him. Instead, he placed it on his own shoulders and so, compassionately, he restored it safely to the flock.

So also he cried out: Come to me, all you that toil and are heavy of heart. Accept my yoke, he said, by which he meant his commands, or rather, the whole way of life that he taught us in the Gospel. He then speaks of a burden, but that is only because repentance seems difficult. In fact, however, my yoke is easy, he assures us, and my burden is light.

Then again he instructs us in divine justice and goodness, telling us to be like our heavenly Father, holy, perfect and merciful. Forgive, he says, and you will be forgiven. Behave toward other people as you would wish them to behave toward you.

Understanding Progressivist Catholicism – Its Beliefs And Its Fast-Track Direction

Progresisivst Catholicism and the reigning hierarchy today bases itself by majority on the new Catholic direction of the non-binding pastoral Council of the 1960s that is Vatican II

Vatican II suppressed Catholic scholasticism and the Scriptural exegesis of the Church Fathers and now bases itself on the following theologies and philosophies, of immanentism , transcendental anthropology , modern humanism, evolution, conciliarism (democracy in Church governing) theological pluralism, and modern secular science and philosophy.   In the post conciliar era it has added feminist theology, liberation theology, and syncretism with elements of non-Christian religions , suppressed the Catholic State – the monarchical forms of Church government, and the process of condemning errors. It is now forbidden to forbid – This new commandment echoes through all the Conciliar documents in the implementation of the theologians and the Priests it has been drilled into to impart unto the people.

We must remember that this Council and these are PASTORAL recommendations that came to a head as a culmination of an era close to 200 years of the Catholic Church’s battle with Modernism which formally condemned by multiple pre-Conciliar Popes but none so articulately as Pope Saint Pius X in Pascendi or the Syllabus of Errors . Many of the previously banned and sanctioned theologians of this condemned school of thought were brought back and reinstated by John XXIII, Paul VI and John Paul II – these facts can easily be corroborated in our modern era of reliable data

The likes of Koenig , Suenens, Schillebeeckx, Rahner Von Balthasar, de Lubac, Congar, Kung , and Chenu took all of the previously condemned theologies of the enlightenment era, of the late 18th century and the 19th century – the lodge philosophies, eastern mysticism , immanence, transcendence, the awakening of man in the rights of man – revived them, reinvented them,  brought them into Council floor and then hammered them into implementation into Society.  These revolutionaries, whose philosophies and theologies were previously condemned were made into Bishops , Cardinals and promoted into leading theologians with honored chairs of Pontifical Universities and became leading respected names in the new conciliar Catholicism in their academic journals and ecclesial society circles.

Through the suppression of the previous meaning of pastoral ,  through the documents and the new teachings they then redefine pastoral to now mean ‘coming into existentialism’

Guadium Et Spes one of the 16 central documents of the Council and one of at least three main documents that each contain dozens of heresies that violate the infallible teachings of the eternal magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church states

“Let the faithful blend the new sciences and their doctrines and the understanding of the most recent discoveries with Christian morality and doctrine . this their religious practice and morality can keep pace with their scientific knowledge and with an ever-advancing technology so that they will be able to appreciate and interpret all things in a more truly Christian spirit”

It is licit to speak of a new age of human history hence fresh avenues are open for the refinement and the wider diffusion of culture These avenue have been paved with enormous growth of natural human and social sciences by progress in technology and by advances in the development and organization of the means by which men communicate with one another

Guadium Et Spes again-

“ By virtue of the Gospel committed to her , the Church proclaims the rights of man . She acknowledges greatly and esteems the dynamism of our times by which these rights are everywhere fostered”

These are but a few examples – There are dozens and dozens more that they are only just now attempting to implement – Even a cursory review of this document Lumen Gentium and Unitatis Redintegratio, is enough to shock the faithful Catholic (even one who has not done comparision studies of traditional preconciliar Catholic philosophy & theology and its new counterparts that to seeks to irradiate the old Church in both its physical and logical form as supposed god given mission of its founders

There are no gnostic secrets here – The teachings are published in black & while and spoke in open public One need only compare them each to what the Church has always held to be true and to see the fruits of the new ‘religion under construction’

Quoting directly one of the main authors of the Council one of this premier theologians the Dominican Priest Father E. Schillebeeckx,

  • “I want to summarize certain fundamental emphasis and attitude in the way of the Church understands herself as they are officially formulated in the documents of Vatican II

 

  • The erroneous brutal interpretation formerly given to the idea of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus (There is no salvation outside the Church ) has been overcome . It becomes increasingly clear that salvation is no longer an exclusive possession of the Church

 

  • The Roman Catholic Church now recognizes the authentically religious aspects of non-Christian religions and even the presence of the Christian “new man and consequently of Christianity itself in all men of good will

 

  • God’s salvific will is also more clearly recognized outside Israel and Christianity As a consequence one must admit that there are elements of revelation outside of Israel and Christianity “

For each one of these statement he cites a section of Vatican II document to back up his summary

We then turn to Bishop Boaventura Kloppenburg , the main chronicler of Vatican II summarizes the new teachings and the on-going process to overthrow Roman Catholic teaching

Quoiting directly Bishop Kloppenburg’s writings

  • “ Vatican II positively gives value to non-Christian religions , in these religions one can always find elements that are good , true beautiful , just and holy, even though mixes with others that are bad, erroneous, or unacceptable.

 

  • All these precious doctrinal fragments of Vatican II lead us to an obvious conclusion : outside the Church (that is outside the visible structure of the Catholic Church as it is concretely realized in history) there is also salvation! Today , as the Council demonstrates we are FORBIDDEN to understand the axiom in the sense invented by Saint Cyprian, its author , or by Saint Augustine , or by by the formula of Faith proscribed by Innocence III to the Albigenses, by the Fourth Lateran Council, or by Boniface VIII, or by the already mentioned decree of the Council of Florence against the Jacobites.
  • Hence we are facing one of those cases (and there are others) supposed by the VII Decree Unitatis Redentegratio of the incorrectness of enunciating (prior Catholic ) doctrine. “

 

Translation =They just declared himself to be like George Orwelll and the for all of us to be citizens in the book 1984

He continues

  • “The theologian is invited by Guadium et Spes to discover a more tailored , intelligible and acceptable formulation required to express matters on the previous Faith “ If you’re not starting to hear scary music in the background – you should be .
  • “In the new pneumatological essence of the Church the Council now sees the presence and action of the Holy Spirt as outside the Church” The spirit uses them as a means of salvation infuses interior gifts into non –Catholic Christians (Unitatis Redentegratio 3c)
  • His Grace operates in non Christians who ignore the Gospel (LG- 16a )

 

Fast forward to the same Bishop Kloppenburg in 1985 – (no reference to 1984 intended here)

Having proven himself up for the new religion implementation Pope Paul II makes Bishop Kloppenburg the Vatican Secretariat for Non-Christian religions , Kloppenburg then proceeds to set up ecumenical worship with Brazilian African tribal religions of voodoo worship and request of the Congregation of Rites and special hybrid Rite for them to worship with Catholics . In the well documented cases of his dialogue and ceremonies involving a whole hoist of Brazilian Bishops with Candombie and Umbanda – African voodoo worship religions – His work culminates with a visit from the Pope in a an ecumenical prayer and to bless the work , Bishop Kloppenburg and his diligent insightful understandings of the new teachings of Conciliar Catholicism

Never any mention of sin and the need for constant prayer to overcome the religion of paganism and their many false gods

Psalm 4:2 How long will you people turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods

Psalm 40:4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. 

Psalm 31:6-8 I hate those who worship false gods. I trust only in the Lord.I will be glad and rejoice in your love, because you saw my suffering; you knew my troubles.
You have not handed me over to my enemies  but have set me in a safe place.

The fruit of it is plain to see as the people of the false gods come to power. Catholic Churches Are Being Desecrated Throughout France and the Authorities do Not Know Why – On The Eponymous Flower

And old heresies never die; they just put on bellbottoms and tie-dyed t-shirts and adopt the lingo of fashionable socialism. The idea that Jesus was just a nice man who wants you to be nice to poor people and migrants is one that has about it the whiff of these old Christological heresies. Certainly we have seen that the Bergoglian/Kasperian faction in Rome manifestly do not hold the orthodox, Catholic, Chalcedonian Christology and have no compunctions about correcting the Son of God for His lack of “mercy”.

The Lord said to Moses, “Here is the covenant I will make. Before the eyes of all your people I will work such marvels as have never been wrought in any nation anywhere on earth, so that this people among whom you live may see how awe-inspiring are the deeds which I, the Lord, will do at your side. But you, on your part, must keep the commandments I am giving you today.”

“I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. Take care, therefore, not to make a covenant with these inhabitants of the land that you are to enter; else they will become a snare among you. Tear down their altars; smash their sacred pillars, and cut down their sacred poles.”

“You shall not worship any other god, for the Lord is ‘the Jealous One’; a jealous God is he. Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of that land; else, when they render their wanton worship to their gods and sacrifice to them, one of them may invite you and you may partake of his sacrifice. Neither shall you take their daughters as wives for your sons; otherwise, when their daughters render their wanton worship to their gods, they will make your sons do the same.”

“You shall not make for yourselves molten gods.”

“You shall keep the feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the prescribed time in the month of Abib you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you; for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.”

“To me belongs every first-born male that opens the womb among all your livestock, whether in the herd or in the flock. The firstling of an ass you shall redeem with one of the flock; if you do not redeem it, you must break its neck. The first-born among your sons you shall redeem.”

“No one shall appear before me empty-handed.”

“For six days you may work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; on that day you must rest even during the seasons of plowing and harvesting.”

“You shall keep the feast of Weeks with the first of the wheat harvest; likewise, the feast at the fruit harvest at the close of the year.”

“Three times a year all your men shall appear before the Lord, the Lord God of Israel. Since I will drive out the nations before you to give you a large territory, there will be no one to covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the Lord, your God.”

“You shall not offer me the blood of sacrifice with leavened bread, nor shall the sacrifice of the Passover feast be kept overnight for the next day.”

“The choicest first fruits of your soil you shall bring to the house of the Lord, your God.”

“You shall not boil a kid in its mother’s milk.”

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with them I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” So Moses stayed there with the Lord for forty days and forty nights, without eating any food or drinking any water, and he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

From the treatise On Prayer by Tertullian, priest The spiritual offering of prayer

Prayer is the offering in spirit that has done away with the sacrifices of old. What good do I receive from the multiplicity of your sacrifices? asks God. I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams, and I do not want the fat of lambs and the blood of bulls and goats. Who has asked for these from your hands?

What God has asked for we learn from the Gospel. The hour will come, he says, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. God is a spirit, and so he looks for worshipers who are like himself.

We are true worshipers and true priests. We pray in spirit, and so offer in spirit the sacrifice of prayer. Prayer is an offering that belongs to God and is acceptable to him: it is the offering he has asked for, the offering he planned as his own.

We must dedicate this offering with our whole heart, we must fatten it on faith, tend it by truth, keep it unblemished through innocence and clean through chastity, and crown it with love. We must escort it to the altar of God in a procession of good works to the sound of psalms and hymns. Then it will gain for us all that we ask of God.

Since God asks for prayer offered in spirit and in truth, how can he deny anything to this kind of prayer? How great is the evidence of its power, as we read and hear and believe.

Of old, prayer was able to rescue from fire and beasts and hunger, even before it received its perfection from Christ. How much greater then is the power of Christian prayer. No longer does prayer bring an angel of comfort to the heart of a fiery furnace, or close up the mouths of lions, or transport to the hungry food from the fields. No longer does it remove all sense of pain by the grace it wins for others. But it gives the armor of patience to those who suffer, who feel pain, who are distressed. It strengthens the power of grace, so that faith may know what it is gaining from the Lord, and understand what it is suffering for the name of God.

In the past prayer was able to bring down punishment, rout armies, withhold the blessing of rain. Now, however, the prayer of the just turns aside the whole anger of God, keeps vigil for its enemies, pleads for persecutors. Is it any wonder that it can call down water from heaven when it could obtain fire from heaven as well? Prayer is the one thing that can conquer God. But Christ has willed that it should work no evil, and has given it all power over good.

Its only art is to call back the souls of the dead from the very journey into death, to give strength to the weak, to heal the sick, to exorcise the possessed, to open prison cells, to free the innocent from their chains. Prayer cleanses from sin, drives away temptations, stamps out persecutions, comforts the fainthearted, gives new strength to the courageous, brings travelers safely home, calms the waves, confounds robbers, feeds the poor, overrules the rich, lifts up the fallen, supports those who are falling, sustains those who stand firm.

All the angels pray. Every creature prays. Cattle and wild beasts pray and bend the knee. As they come from their barns and caves they look out to heaven and call out, lifting up their spirit in their own fashion. The birds too rise and lift themselves up to heaven: they open out their wings, instead of hands, in the form of a cross, and give voice to what seems to be a prayer.

What more need be said on the duty of prayer? Even the Lord himself prayed. To him be honor and power for ever and ever. Amen.

Do we need another Synod of Sutri to deal with the Pope’s malfeasance? Prof. Grzegorz Kucharczyk On CMTV

All of this has already happened in the history of the Holy Church: dependence of rulers of this world, moral corruption among the clergy, the weakness of St. Peter’s successors. In short, the Dark Ages. Moreover, these sins have always fostered the expansion of heresy, such as Arianism in the Constantinian age, when Byzantine emperors regarded themselves as “bishops in external matters of the Church,” or in the age of the Protestant Reformation, which, apart from the spiritual darkness of the soul of Rev. Martin Luther, became the ground on which many bishops submitted to the trend of the world (the phenomenon of accumulation of ecclesiastical ranks and offices) to such an extent that, instead of being shepherds, they became mercenaries, or sometimes even wolves prowling in the Lord’s sheepfold.

What is the new Catholicism ? = the acceptance of pan-religion salvation and ecumenism with non-Christian religions , essentially Arianism . People that don’t see this are partially blinded and have not talked to as many ordained religious as we have.

In Animus Delendi II – by Atila Guimaraes we read the denouncements never before made with this clarity. Within Catholicism secularization is moving toward a trans-Socialist structure to replace the State. Ecumenism is heading toward a pan-religion or the acceptance, with the joining together of Arianism under the hegemony of the Jewish religion and the acceptance of islam – The denial and relativizing the divinity of Christ in Catholicism and to merge the arian beliefs of still waiting for the ‘last’  messiah to come is prevalent not just through the Vatican II periti’s philosophies but in the Vatican II Council documents themselves, the reversal of the dogma of extra eclesiam nula solas , the promotion of pluralism & personalism in ontology and a perennial ecumania that constantly points towards syncretism . A religion based on  man, a new humanism with ‘reinventions of love’ redefining the biblical exegesis of the meaning of ‘love’ devoid of any concepts of sin.

In short it is a killing that re-creates the slaughter of the Holy Innocents by Herod

Further to the point , there are only three religions in the world

There is authentic liturgical Trinitarian Christianity , there is the former now abrogated covenant of judaism,  and lastly there is paganism . Satanism & the occult can and never will be considered a religion as it is the enemy of humanity and natural law

While Arianism is nothing more than the ancient apostasy of Arius creating heresies within heresies creating a convergence of eastern mystery religions , buddhism, adventism (aka jehovahs witeness) hinduism , modern judaism,  and islam , it was and still is all virtually the same religion which is = paganism

Watch – SHEPHERDS in JAIL: The Last Days of Vatican II – On YouTube

From the Editor’s Desk, Michael J. Matt points out that the worst pro-abort politicians in the world are Vatican II Catholics. And now that the neo-Catholic compromise has failed to appease the world–with Cardinal Pell and other shepherds off to jail–Michael contends that we are in the last days of the Modernist Revolution in the Church, and that the only hope of the world is the traditional Catholic restoration. Plus, was the priesthood always corrupt, as so many revisionist historians contend? Michael takes a walk down movie memory lane to put the lie the Catholic-bashing claim that “it’s always been this way.” And, finally, Michael points out how the Modernist regime is intentionally destroying the old Catholic Church–the Church that built the greatest civilization in history–on purpose in order to make room for the New World Order.

Arianism On The Rise As The Pope Embraces Judaism, Mormonism, And Buddhism Without Requiring Conversion But Only That New Rite Catholics Combine THEIR beliefs with non-Christians

====================================================

================================================================

Novus Ordo Catholicism vs. Traditional Roman Catholicism

====================================================

 

Subscribing To Inimitable Roman Catholic Teachings =

In·im·i·ta·ble adjective:

  1. so good or unusual as to be impossible to copy; unique.

https://www.google.com/search?q=inimitable&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

New Rite Catholics have been hoodwinked into being part of a movement to slowly change their religion and their beliefs in every underlining aspect of it.

Scripture scholars abhor the protestantized Catholic bible known as the NAB – New American Bible- even new Rite , Catholic bible teachers do not use it and prefer the Revised Standard Version ( itself a compromise ) with the best known bible being the modern english translation of the Douay Rheims Bible known as the Confraternity Edition

The NAB bible is used in the new Conciliar Mass and it has been for a growing subset of people that have  reverted to the traditional rite and have studied scripture in class one of the main reasons that they have left for the traditional Rite which uses exclusively the original Jerome vulgate . Both this version used in the 1962 Missal and all Missals prior shows clearly the glaring discrepancies of many protestanized Scriptures versions and its systematic attempts ecumenical utopia

However it does not stop there – The conciliar Church’s theologians have formulated many exegetical works and guides (interpretations of Scripture) many of which are at odds , not only with the exegetical works of the likes of the Doctors like Saint Thomas Aquinas , but the early Church Fathers as well ( For those interested in serious study and proof texts see the Patrology Series of text books by Johannes Quasten with transcriptions of original paprus scrolls ) https://www.amazon.com/Patrology-4-Set-Johannes-Quasten/dp/0870611410

It goes past even protestantism , above and beyond the new rite catholic movement towards evangelical lutheranism, in attempting to adapt the Catholic Church to the modern world by taking the interpretations of God is Love and Love the center of all things and bring into a different court all together – interiorizing love into a panentheistic creed with an immanentism sense

In order to do this they begin with their re-interpretations of Scriptures such as this

Philippeans 2:5-8  (DRB Version given)

5For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. 8He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.

The progressivists overemphasize this passage with three principals aims 1) To say that the Incarnation of Christ was voluntary and caused by this same new type of love , rather than by need to redeem people from original sin. 2. To obsolve the Jews from crime of deicide – suppressing  any need for Jewish conversion and abolishing Catholic doctrine that the Jewish covenant was abrogated to the new Israel of the Catholic Church 3. And thirdly or finally to adopt the mission and alternative new small ‘c’ catholic creed – that the majority of the current prelates have adopted which is to advocate that the Catholic Church should slowly destroy herself in order to be a perfect follower of Christ in this new type of love

The History of a Tomorrow Without God – By John Horvat II – On Crisis Magazine

================================================================

Protestant Apologetics

Introit  Psalms 24: 17- Deliver me, O Lord, from my necessities; see my abjection and my labor; and forgive me all my sins. (Ps. 24: 1-2) To Thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: in Thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Deliver me,O Lord, from my necessities; see my abjection and my labor; and forgive me of all my sins

 

Collect  O Lord, be gracious to Thy people; and as Thou makest them devoted to Thee, in Thy mercy cherish them by Thy kind assistance. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who livesand reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever

Lesson – Ez 18: 20-28 Thus saith the Lord God: The soul thatsinneth, the same shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father,and the father shall not bear the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. But if the wicked do penance for all his sins which he hathcommitted, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die. I will not remember all his iniquities that he hath done: in his justice which he hath wrought, he shalllive. Is it My will that a sinner should die, saith the Lord God, and notthat he should be converted from ways, and live? But if the just man turnhimself away from his justice, and do iniquity according to all the abominations which the wicked man useth to work, shall he live? All his justices which he hath done, shallnot be remembered: in the prevarication, by which he hath prevaricated, and in his sin, which he hath committed, in them he shall die. And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear ye, therefore, Ohouse of Israel: Is it My way that is notright, and are not rather your ways perverse? For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die. And when the wicked turneth himself away from his wickedness, which he hath wrought, and doeth judgment, and justice: he shall save his soul alive. Because heconsidereth and turneth away himself from all his iniquities which he hath wrought, he shall surely live, and not die, saith the Lord almighty.

Gradual Psalms 85: 2, 6 Save Thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in Thee. Give ear. O Lord, to my prayer.

Tract Psalms 102: 10 O Lord, repay us not according to the sins we have committed, nor according to our iniquities. (Ps. 78: 8- 9) O Lord, remember not our former iniquities, let Thy mercies speedily prevent us; for we are become exceeding poor. (Here kneel.) Help us, O God, our Savior, and for the glory of Thy name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for Thy name’s sake

Gospel John 5: 1-15 At that time there was a festival day ofthe Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem a pond, called Probatica, which in Hebrew is named Bethsaida, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame,of withered; waiting for the moving of the water. And an Angel of the Lord descended at certain times into the pond; and the water was moved. And he that went down first into the pond after the motion of the water, was made whole, of whatsoever infirmity he lay under. And there was a certain man there, that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity. Him when Jesus had seen lying, and knew that he had been now a long time, He saith to him: Wilt thou be made whole? The infirm man answered Him:Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me. Jesus saith to him: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed, and walked. And it was the sabbath that day. The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. He answered them: He that made me whole, He said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. They asked him therefore: Who is that man who said tothee, Take up thy bed, and walk? But he who was healed, knew not who it was; for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place. Afterwards, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and saith to him: Behold thou art made whole: sin no more, lest some worse thing happen to thee. Theman went his way, and told the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole

Offertory Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all He hath done for thee, and thy youth shall be renewed like the eagle’s.

From Hours – Of The Office Of The Readings

From the book of Exodus 12:1-20 The Passover and unleavened bread

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, “This month shall stand at the head of your calendar; you shall reckon it the first month of the year. Tell the whole community of Israel:

“On the tenth of this month every one of your families must procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each household. If a family is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join the nearest household in procuring one and shall share in the lamb in proportion to the number of persons who partake of it. The lamb must be a year-old male and without blemish. You may take it from either the sheep or the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and then, with the whole assembly of Israel present, it shall be slaughtered during the evening twilight. They shall take some of its blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of every house in which they partake of the lamb. That same night they shall eat its roasted flesh with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. It shall not be eaten raw or boiled, but roasted whole, with its head and shanks and inner organs. None of it must be kept beyond the next morning; whatever is left over in the morning shall be burned up.

“This is how you are to eat it: with your loins girt, sandals on your feet and your staff in hand, you shall eat like those who are in flight. It is the Passover of the Lord.

For on this same night I will go through Egypt, striking down every first-born of the land, both man and beast, and executing judgment on all the gods of Egypt—I, the Lord! But the blood will mark the houses where you are. Seeing the blood, I will pass over you; thus, when I strike the land of Egypt, no destructive blow will come upon you.

“This day shall be a memorial feast for you, which all your generations shall celebrate with pilgrimage to the Lord, as a perpetual institution. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. From the very first day you shall have your houses clear of all leaven. Whoever eats leavened bread from the first day to the seventh shall be cut off from Israel. On the first day you shall hold a sacred assembly, and likewise on the seventh. On these days you shall not do any sort of work, except to prepare the food that everyone needs.

“Keep, then, this custom of the unleavened bread. Since it was on this very day that I brought your ranks out of the land of Egypt, you must celebrate this day throughout your generations as a perpetual institution. From the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month until the evening of the twenty-first day of this month you shall eat unleavened bread. For seven days no leaven may be found in your houses. Anyone, be he a resident alien or a native, who eats leavened food shall be cut off from the community of Israel. Nothing leavened may you eat; wherever you dwell you may eat only unleavened bread.”

  • Apologetics –                                                                                                               Men to the defense of Christendom – the revolutions continue into western society through Conciliar Catholic hierarchy – We’ve moved past ecumenism , past reiterating our Lady’s unfilled consecration of Russia and into the devolution and dismantling of the dogma of the Kingship of Christ. We are past false ecumenism and the loss of the true faith of the highest prelates and into syncretism of gnostic , post masonic , progressivism , towards the full redefinition of the Christ and the Body of Christ into an man’s androgynous creation – They are no longer attempting to merge just heaven and hell but man and women within Christ in a one world religion – We will see in our life time the ascendency of the transgendered to an unprecedented level of UN and world leadership , towards worship of “it” as a higher being . It represents the one world religion movement in the highest echelons of the Church that today feels compelled to abolish doctrine , dogma , and tradition . In their new pastoral praxis Catholicism their veiled world-wide return to paganism involves the joining together of opposites . Jesus Christ, the divine-godman becomes also a woman the war of oneism and twosim is upon us – against traditional Catholic belief Christ visits the hell of the damned and joins Dismas the good thief together with Gestas Dumachus the bad thief and continues to “become” in order that we might all continue forever to “become” something else in this panentheism
  • Our highest level prelates are neither dumb, nor naive but cold, calculating and in an established self-destruction of the old religion a systematic process in order to build this new religion before our very eyes and no less have us serve “it” in the revolution or be executed as traitors to the revolution

So we are surrounded with the necessity of apologetics , awakening men to return to the days of militant Catholicism, real men that are unafraid to express their  that are nauseated condition of being surrounded by weak-kneed Priests entrenched in mediocrity Awake to the the necessity of fighting the revolution in every form in which it rears its head – revolution , even in this form where the chastisement has begun

  • Blow the horn and awake the men , hell is filled with the supposedly good people, it’s time for us to turn to the battlefield that we all must die on to enter heaven

  • These courageous voices remain isolated even until today. The climate of indifference and cover-up which reigns within the Church has profound moral and doctrinal roots that date back to the Second Vatican Council, when the ecclesiastical hierarchies accepted the process of secularization as an irreversible phenomenon. But when the Church subordinates herself to secularism, the Kingdom of Christ becomes conformed to this world and is reduced to a mere power structure. The militant spirit dissipates, and the Church, instead of converting the world to the law of the Gospel, surrenders the Gospel to the world’s demands.

Today, we are also few in number, without the material forces provided by the political, economic and media powers of the modern world. We are mortally wounded by our sins, isolated and treated like lepers for our fidelity to Tradition. And yet, if we have the courage to resist, not to retreat, and to attack the advancing enemy, like the barking dogs spoken of by the medieval chronicler, the victory will be ours, because our love for the Church and Christian civilization is stronger than death. And as the Canticle of Canticles says: “many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.” (Canticle of Canticles 8: 6-7)

For this reason, we do not want to return to the catacombs. Today, the standard of Constantine, like the standards of the Crusades and of Lepanto, is not the banner of an armed war, but the symbol of an attitude of spirit. It is the disposition of soul of he who is convinced that, as Saint Pius X said: “the civilization of the world is Christian civilization; the more frankly Christian it is, so much is it more true, more lasting, and more productive of precious fruit,”] it is the disposition of soul of he who is convinced that Christian civilization is not a dream of the past, but is the response to the crisis of a decomposing world: it is the reign of Jesus and Mary in souls and in society which Our Lady foretold at Fatima, and for which we continue to fight every day with confidence and courage.

While many insightfully point to the era between Pius IX , Pius X, and Pius XI as the beginning of the era of the fight against  modernism within the Church and the modernism of the post conciliar era in the ‘supposed spirit of Vatican II as its resurgence, that is not necessarily a complete objective scenario

Firstly, it never completely subsided following the era of the Popes of the Pius titles and secondly it was not the spirit of the Council post-haste but clearly came out of a school of thought and into a political party at the Council – It was in the counter preparatory works of the Council – all the debates at the Council and with the Council documents itself, that any student of the Council will clearly see in volumes of empirical evidence.

The  false paradigm of ecumenism is something that was invented at Vatican II – even the invention Secretariat For Non-Christian religions was a ground breaking challenge to Roman Catholic doctrine

In order to declare this new catholic dogma of ecumenism, they first needed to suppress the Catholic philosophy of Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle, including natural law, and to especially to overturn the natural principals of non-contradiction. The ground work became the elevation of the ‘human’ in human dignity and the elevation of the rights of religious liberty (of any religion) In order to accomplish this new declaration a new philosophy need be introduced which was quickly revealed as the ‘reason’ or need for a Council if they were somehow to upstage an infallible Catholic teaching that the Rights of God including the Rights of God in his one true Church , the mystical body of Christ, would be in need of more than suppression but redefinition. Hence the center of the council became the encyclicals on religious liberty and the elevation of the dignity of the human person.

We are now seeing the bad fruits of the anti- Catholic neo-Catholic  non-binding Catholic social teaching of ecumenism with ALL religions , the formal heresy of ‘syncretism’ that Freemasonry sought all  along especially in its liaison emissaries to the Council.

At the Council there was a conservative group Coetus Internationalis to which many interventions were made by the likes of Archbishops Ruffini, Lefebvre, Cardinal Ottovani and many others. Among them, one such intervention was to protest the book being heavily circulated at the Council by the liaison to freemasonry Baron de Masuadon on the new ‘human fraternity’ required by all religions The book , popular among high level Catholic prelates, was “Ecumenism As Seen By A Traditional Freemason”  What followed from a lower level Father Giovani Capril attempted to form another reproachment of freemasonry as well,with the re-listing of the 200+ official Catholic Church works and statements against freemasonry as antithetical to all of Christianity and its philosophies , including that of ecumenism as an ‘enemy “ of Catholicism – see R. de Mattei – Vatican II- The untold Story 3rd session of the council.

False religions from the time of the Council on would then proliferate like no other era in salvation history. Islam would see its greatest increase and spread in its own history as it was officially no longer resisted by Catholicism but suddenly and strangely recognized as one of the worlds great religions , contrary to everything that Roman Catholicism had ever previously said or declared about islamic mohammedanism. Similar treatises were begun on the eastern mystery religions including buddhism in that there were suddenly some general good and truth within these religions without ever specifically stating what that good might be aside from their mutual denial of the divinity of Christ in the heresy of Arianism that in one era almost destroyed the Church in the 4th century

Yesterday Pope Francis publicly stated that his hope was that Catholics would grow closer to the tenets of Buddhism  Pope Francis: My Wish Is for Buddhists and Catholics to Grow ‘Increasingly
Closer’ http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2018/05/16/pope-francis-my-wish-is-that-buddhists-and-catholics-will-grow-increasingly-closer/ Jesus Christ, Our Shepherd: Apostasy: Bergoglio respects the false gods of Buddhism http://4christum.blogspot.com/2018/05/apostate-bergoglio-wants-people-to.html

So we have high level prelates left and right as our Lady of Fatima predicted (minus the consecration) would happen and that they would begin to oppose one another within the Catholic Church  Cardinal raises question: Is Pope Francis part of Church’s ‘final trial’? | News | LifeSite https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cardinal-raises-question-is-pope-francis-part-of-churchs-final-trial

So now it becomes the era of the mission of the lay Catholics to carry the torch and stand in the gap for the survivability of the remnant of sacred tradition , family, and property – God’s covenantal people are being called upon into action – There is no one else behind us – Many do not realize that it is now us or no one

We were not promised the Church would last until the end of time “in it’s present size and form” only that there would be a Church (most likely underground as in the early Church while all else in orthodoxy is persecuted )

Modern Church – OnePeterFive

Bishop Schneider: Catholics are called to combat heresy inside Church | News | LifeSite

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/bishop-schneider-catholics-are-called-to-be-soldiers-against-evil

It’s logical conclusion is simply if their are truths within non Christian religions that no longer calls us to help convert these peoples then Christians that are not Catholic must somehow believe the same things we believe. All we need to do in suppress every doctrinal and dogmatic difference between these Christian religions , declare the philosophy of non-contradiction and anyone who espouses it and or traditional Catholicism as an unmerciful peoples in need of sanctions and suppression for their own good.

Therefore we have Cardinals and Bishops declaring that  if this is truly the new teachings of the Church and we follow the Vatican declared non-binding non-doctrinal pastoral teachings and documents of the Council we cannot deny intercommunion to adulterers and protestants. The dignity of the person, the rights of the human person and his own discernment in his or her own personal interpretation must be higher than the law. This is what the council taught in several dozen places and the post conciliar prelates pounded into the religious and the laity in the era that followed the Council.

Possibly everyone is being too critical of Pope Francis and perhaps he and the other progressive modernists that are now  in the majority of the leadership of the Church are merely bringing into the open air and attempting to implement what was only previously suggested and implied by the new religious teaching of the Council & its official encyclicals.  The Pope’s defense, that we’ve yet to hear raised, is.. ‘but its right here in the Council documents.’

Pope John Paul II declared Saint of the Church tried to find an invisible middle road between the Council and Catholic tradition – as illustrated in his creation and issuance of Ecclesia Dei (1988) – Pope Benedict XVI upon reaching the See of Peter became much more traditional and ignored much of the previous teachings of the Council. Pope Francis has said, on multiple occasions in truth, that the Council has not been (as of yet ) fully implemented.

It is also most clearly present in the Council’s imposed overthrow of the aristocratic ecclesial structure of the Church and it’s re-org to a democratic government model open to interpretation by regional vote, in a continuing decades long re-organization. The more we read and study the more we come to understand, it’s not Pope Francis it’s the modernism of the previous era that began to metastasize at the Council and only now is becoming incarnate with and within Pope Francis. Is he merely only following to the letter the dictates of the Council Fathers that laid down the new religion of syncretism, masonic philosophy, and progressive modernism. Perhaps our Pope is not deviant at all but very loyal….to the Council.

___________________________________

The second letter of the apostle John Whoever is faithful to the teaching of Christ possesses both the Father and the Son

The elder to a Lady who is elect and to her children.

In truth I love each of you—and not only I but also all those who have come to know the truth. This love is based on the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever. In truth and love, then, we shall have grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son.

It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the path of truth, just as we were commanded by the Father. But now, my Lady, I would make this request of you (not as if I were writing you some new commandment; rather, it is a commandment we have had from the start): let us love one another. This love involves our walking according to the commandments, and as you have heard from the beginning, the commandment is the way in which you should walk.

Many deceitful men have gone out into the world, men who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. Such is the deceitful one! This is the antichrist! Look out that you yourselves do not lose what you have worked for; you must receive your reward in full.

Anyone who is so “progressive” that he does not remain rooted in the teaching of Christ does not possess God, while anyone who remains rooted in the teaching possesses both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you who does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house; do not even greet him, for whoever greets him shares in the evil he does.

While there is much more that I could write you, I do not intend to put it down on paper; instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be full.

The children of your elect sister send you their greetings.

From the treatise On the Trinity by Saint Hilary, bishop
The Father’s gift in Christ

Our Lord commanded us to baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. In baptism, then, we profess faith in the Creator, in the only-begotten Son and in the gift which is the Spirit. There is one Creator of all things, for in God there is one Father from whom all things have their being. And there is one only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things exist. And there is one Spirit, the gift who is in all. So all follow their due order, according to the proper operation of each: one power, which brings all things into being, one Son, through whom all things come to be, and one gift of perfect hope. Nothing is wanting to this flawless union: in Father, Son and Holy Spirit, there is infinity of endless being, perfect reflection of the divine image, and mutual enjoyment of the gift.

Our Lord has described the purpose of the Spirit’s presence in us. Let us listen to his words: I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. It is to your advantage that I go away; if I go, I will send you the Advocate. And also: I will ask the Father and he will give you another Counselor to be with you for ever, the Spirit of truth. He will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine.

From among many of our Lord’s sayings, these have been chosen to guide our understanding, for they reveal to us the intention of the giver, the nature of the gift and the condition for its reception. Since our weak minds cannot comprehend the Father or the Son, we have been given the Holy Spirit as our intermediary and advocate, to shed light on that hard doctrine of our faith, the incarnation of God.

We receive the Spirit of truth so that we can know the things of God. In order to grasp this, consider how useless the faculties of the human body would become if they were denied their exercise. Our eyes cannot fulfill their task without light, either natural or artificial; our ears cannot react without sound vibrations, and in the absence of any odor our nostrils are ignorant of their function. Not that these senses would lose their own nature if they were not used; rather, they demand objects of experience in order to function. It is the same with the human soul. Unless it absorbs the gift of the Spirit through faith, the mind has the ability to know God but lacks the light necessary for that knowledge.

This unique gift which is in Christ is offered in its fullness to everyone. It is everywhere available, but it is given to each man in proportion to his readiness to receive it. Its presence is the fuller, the greater a man’s desire to be worthy of it. This gift will remain with us until the end of the world, and will be our comfort in the time of waiting. By the favors it bestows, it is the pledge of our hope for the future, the light of our minds, and the splendor that irradiates our understanding.
