On The Conciliar Church Boris Pasternak quoting Doctor Zhivago

Reform or Revolution ?

“That’s a very naïve statement’,  said Pogorevhikh, ‘What you call disorder is just as normal a state of things as the order you are so keen on. All this destruction – it’s the right and proper preliminary stage of a wide construction plan. Society has not yet disintegrated sufficiently. It must fall to pieces completely, then a genuine revolutionary government will put the pieces together on a completely new basis. Yury felt sick. He went out into the corridor”

Professor James Daly of McMaster University of Ontario NCR 1977

“It is one thing to pull off a revolution , quite another to do so and then have the gall to pretend nothing ‘substantial’ has been changed. It is not enough for our liturgical Robespierres to win; they must go on to claim that they never used the guillotine”

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: Pope Francis vs. the Catholic Church – RTV’s ‘Sunday Sermons from South St. Paul’ blows the lid off Pope Francis’s attempt to change the constant teaching of the Catholic Church on capital punishment. In what surely must be one of the most courageous sermons of 2018, this diocesan priest takes the gloves off and asks:

“What’s it going to be? The constant teaching established by Scripture, doctors and fathers of the Church, sainted popes and God Himself? Or that which rests on the whim of Pope Francis, who seems to think the Catholic Church’s binding teaching is whatever his opinion happens to be.”

God help us, what is this man thinking, that in the middle of the most outrageous clerical sex scandal to date he decides it’s time to go after capital punishment…

Listen to what an inspiring traditional Catholic sermon sounds like from a fearless man of God- preceding the Sacrifice of the Canon of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass !

Places in Fort Greene, NYC: An Untapped Cities Guide | Untapped Cities

Historical Sites Brooklyn Masonic Temple

Fort Greene is home to several architectural masterpieces, the most famous among these being the Brooklyn Masonic Temple. Built in 1909, this Masonic granite temple is regarded as one of the most beautiful structures in the United States and features an impressive brick, marble and terra cotta exterior. According to The New York Times, the original intent of this structure was to be a meeting place for the Masons of Brooklyn (hence the name). In 1977, it was then sold to a “clandestine” Mason group. This group couldn’t afford the daunting cost of upkeep, so they rented out the space on a regular basis. The building now serves as a concert venue, “Masonic Boom,” and is part of the Fort Greene Historic District, which includes the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and Fort Greene Park (more on the park’s history to come). Right next to it is another architectural masterpiece, the Queen of All Saints Church, built in the gothic revival style from 1910 to 1913. Address: 317 Clermont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The Sacred Heart of Jesus: Only Heart of the Mystical Body & The Relationship To Elias Prophesies – On The Remnant Newspaper

What Elias said to the “children of Israel” on Mt. Carmel, he could well say to many Catholics today: “How long will you hesitate between two sides? If the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.”  The people “did not answer him a word,” but Elias went on: “I alone remain a prophet of the Lord, but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.  Let two young bulls be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it.  Call ye on the names of your gods, and I will call on the name of my Lord; and the God that shall answer by fire, let him be God.  And all the people answering, said: “A very good proposal.”

When we read of the pagan priests leaping and dancing and howling around that altar (which significantly is left vague and formless in the account), the resemblance with some modernist priests is striking; and while the priests of Baal only cut and wounded themselves with knives and lancets, their modern counterparts wound their souls and the souls of others with sacrilege and blasphemy. Their offerings will not draw down the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Elias let the pagan priests carry on till after midday. Then he set to work and “repaired the altar of the Lord which was broken down. He took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob (i.e. the members of the true Church in the Old Testament) …And he built with the stones an altar in the name of the Lord; and he made a trench for water…. And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces and laid it upon the wood.” After that he ordered twelve jars of water to be dowsed over the bullock, “and the water ran down round about the altar, and the trench was filled with water.”

Elias here is surely a type of Christ our High Priest, and the victim on the wood prefigures Christ our Redeemer, dying on the Cross for the sins of the world. When, at the prayer of Elias, fire fell from heaven, it consumed not only the victim and the wood, but also “the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.”  Everything, in a word, was vaporized, wafted up to God after a fashion. So does the Holy Spirit vaporize, i.e., supernaturalize and divinize the stony hearts of members of  the true Church who live and die in Christ; and He does this so thoroughly that not even the dust to which the stones are at first reduced, can any longer be found; this dust corresponds to what theologians call the relics or remnant of sin, i.e., evil tendencies remaining in the soul – not even this or the water of our native human weakness can any longer be found when the soul has been wholly and finally purified and made ready for Heaven by the fire of the Holy Ghost.

The Real Face Of The Left Coming To A City Near You – On You Tube

Pro-life Chilean congressman Jose Antonio Kast suffered a violent mob assault earlier this week as he was attempting to enter an auditorium as a guest speaker at the University Arturo Prat in the Chilean city of Iquique.  

The ordeal lasted for close to 30 minutes before the local police arrived wearing riot gear to disperse the mob.  Much of the assault was captured on video and can be seen below.

Jose Antonio Kast, a conservative politician who placed fourth in the last presidential elections in Chile was the most visible political opponent to the legalization of abortion and redefinition of marriage in Chile.  A Catholic and a father of nine, he can be seen in the video being called a Nazi, threatened to death, hit with rocks and bottles, kicked, and spat upon.

After being repulsed from the auditorium a small group of advisors attempted to shield him as they sought refuge from the attack, finally finding it inside a nearby gas station.

The violent mob remained outside laying siege to the gas station until the police arrived, at which point they ran away.  Mr. Kast was taken to a local hospital where injuries to one of his legs required him to wear a cast.  He also suffered torn ligaments in one of his hands.

Media interviews captured on camera at the scene of the crime revealed the motivation behind the attacks on Mr. Kast.  An unnamed LGBT university leader admits in one of these interviews that “the rejection of Kast is due to the fact that he has ridiculed the social demands of the LGBT groups, which have had to organize this protest as a way to make visible the institutional violence that LGBT groups have suffered at the university.”

From the letter to the Hebrews 12:14-29 You have come to the mountain of the living God

Strive for peace with all men, and for that holiness without which no one can see the Lord. See to it that no man falls away from the grace of God; that no bitter root springs up through which many may become defiled; that there be among you no fornicator or godless person like Esau, who sold his birthright for a meal. You know that afterward he wanted to inherit his father’s blessing, but he was rejected because he had no opportunity to alter his choice, even though he sought the blessing with tears.

You have not drawn near to an untouchable mountain and a blazing fire, nor gloomy darkness and storm and trumpet blast, nor a voice speaking words such that those who heard begged that they be not addressed to them, for they could not bear to hear the command: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.” Indeed, so fearful was the spectacle that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”

No, you have drawn near to Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to myriads of angels in festal gathering, to the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven, to God the judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks more eloquently than that of Abel.

Do not refuse to hear him who speaks. For if the Israelites did not escape punishment when they refused to listen as God spoke to them on earth, how much greater punishment will be ours if we turn away from him who speaks from heaven! His voice then shook the earth, but now he has promised, “I will once more shake not only earth but heaven!” And that “once more” shows that shaken, created things will pass away, so that only what is unshaken may remain.

Wherefore, we who are receiving the unshakable kingdom should hold fast to God’s grace, through which we may offer worship acceptable to him in reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire.

From a treatise on John by Saint Augustine, bishop The perfection of love

Dear brethren, the Lord has marked out for us the fullness of love that we ought to have for each other. He tells us: No one has greater love than the man who lays down his life for his friends. In these words, the Lord tells us what the perfect love we should have for one another involves. John, the evangelist who recorded them, draws the conclusion in one of his letters: As Christ laid down his life for us, so we too ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. We should indeed love one another as he loved us, he who laid down his life for us.

This is surely what we read in the Proverbs of Solomon: If you sit down to eat at the table of a ruler, observe carefully what is set before you; then stretch out your hand, knowing that you must provide the same kind of meal yourself. What is this ruler’s table if not the one at which we receive the body and blood of him who laid down his life for us? What does it mean to sit at this table if not to approach it with humility? What does it mean to observe carefully what is set before you if not to meditate devoutly on so great a gift? What does it mean to stretch out one’s hand, knowing that one must provide the same kind of meal oneself, if not what I have just said: as Christ laid down his life for us, so we in our turn ought to lay down our lives for our brothers? This is what the apostle Paul said: Christ suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we might follow in his footsteps.

This is what is meant by providing “the same kind of meal.” This is what the blessed martyrs did with such burning love. If we are to give true meaning to our celebration of their memorials, to our approaching the Lord’s table in the very banquet at which they were fed, we must, like them, provide “the same kind of meal.”

At this table of the Lord we do not commemorate the martyrs in the same way as we commemorate others who rest in peace. We do not pray for the martyrs as we pray for those others, rather, they pray for us, that we may follow in his footsteps. They practiced the perfect love of which the Lord said there could be none greater. They provided “the same kind of meal” as they had themselves received at the Lord’s table. This must not be understood as saying that we can be the Lord’s equals by bearing witness to him to the extent of shedding our blood. He had the power of laying down his life; we by contrast cannot choose the length of our lives, and we die even if it is against our will. He, by dying, destroyed death in himself; we are freed from death only in his death. His body did not see corruption; our body will see corruption and only then be clothed through him in incorruption at the end of the world. He needed no help from us in saving us; without him we can do nothing. He gave himself to us as the vine to the branches; apart from him we cannot have life.

Finally, even if brothers die for brothers, yet no martyr by shedding his blood brings forgiveness for the sins of his brothers, as Christ brought forgiveness to us. In this he gave us, not an example to imitate but a reason for rejoicing. Inasmuch, then, as they shed their blood for their brothers, the martyrs provided “the same kind of meal” as they had received at the Lord’s table. Let us then love one another as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us.
