Al-Baghdadi’s New War Against Christians. But the West Is Also Attacking the Church – Magister On Settimo Cielo — L’Espresso
On the Sunday and Monday of Easter, in Saint Peter’s Square, Pope Francis did all he could – in the name of dialogue with Islam – to downgrade to generic and “never justifiable” acts the chain of terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka that had killed hundreds of Christians gathered at church to celebrate Jesus risen, a fifth of them children.
But one week later, on Monday April 29, came the unequivocal “justification.” Five years after his memorable sermon at the grand mosque of Mosul there reappeared in a video the supreme head of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who not only claimed responsibility for the hecatomb in Sri Lanka but pointed to it as the model of a new offensive to be unleashed on a worldwide scale, especially in Africa and Asia, with Christians as the first targets.

So too the news media will do anything to avoid calling Islamic terrorists, Islamic terrorists — more lies.
The horror of what happened in Sri Lanka on Easter was dutifully reported by the fake news corrupt media as being the fault of “religious extremists” — oh yeah, which religion? To simply pin it on “religious” extremists, condemns all religions.
Why would the media not report the full truth of this, especially when they know it. Because it’s better for them to lie by omission if they want to keep up the pretense that Islam is the religion of peace.
They need to keep that narrative going so they can use it against Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular.

After an initial enthusiasm for and flirtation with what he thought Napoleon might bring to Europe, Beethoven later in his life became a strong supporter of the Habsburg monarchy…and an avowed foe of the Napoleonic destruction of the Old Order. He understood what that meant, just as the Blessed Pius IX after the Revolution of 1848 understood the deleterious effects of liberalism and its fanatical desire to destroy Christian civilization.
One of the Great Paradoxes of Catholicism – On Catholicism.org
The philosophical definition of truth is “the conformity of the mind to reality.”1 Truth is, therefore, a conformity. And as the etymology of that word suggests, it is the mind being “shaped,” — or bent into the shape of — reality as it is. That reality exists outside of us and is not the product of our intellect or imagination, which are knowing faculties that do not manufacture reality but receive it. The imagination and intellect are just as subject to the reality that exists outside of them as the eardrum is to the sound waves that strike it or the eye to the light that meets its retina.
But we can know that if this became a Catholic country, the system would organically turn into something else — something better. In the meantime, let us remember that our chief of state and government is a politician from whom we routinely demand the behaviour of a King.

The following critical studies are not being analyzed sufficiently by enough qualified Churchmen and architects of our culture and western governments
Beneath a scriptural exegesis (interpretation) that separates denominational Christianity versions that lives only at the surface there is a resident theology beneath this as we all know
But beneath a solid theology which Roman Catholicism has founded on the marriage of faith and reason , lives a solid scholastic philosophy based on orthodox Catholic thinking , that rewinds through the millenniums of sacred tradition to its divine revelation source and the 70 Apostles that led the replacement of the heads of the 70 tribes of Israel in the process following the fall of the main temple in 70AD and the abrogation of the old Covenant , whereby God himself decided to forge a new covenant with a new peoples He selected based on His only begotten Son born of a perfect and miraculous Virgin
All of which in a parallel way has yet anotherfoundational layer beneath it – ontology – who God really is – and the definition of the person and who the person really is
Therefore
The truth of Christ has been maintained in the Catholic Church intact , from the 70 Apostles right up through the late 1950s , which is the primary job of the Holy See and by extension the Bishops
However the revolution entered the Church 1960s to present did so not by starting with Scripture or Theology reinterpretation but with the ax at the root of the tree began at the redefinition of the person – and the redefinition of God in ontology
The dismantling of the spelled out truth of the history of who God is with a new revolutionary understanding that a personal God could never be completely known in this way – (which was condemned at Vatican I. )
They claimed that by Jesus becoming man it changed human nature and merged us with the divine , thereby making us have the ability to “blend” with God and for everyone most especially non Christian religions and giving those persons and all persons rights not only equal to that of God but in many cases to exceed His rights previously established by the Church – By reinventing the person , they reinvent human dignity and man can now evolve internally and Catholic doctrine can evolve
It’s called Immanence , evolving to a future world – in a new cosmic eschatology that the human race is all supposedly headed towards – One who studies the Doctor Thomas Aquinas can immediately spot the heresies and the violation of God blending with other human beings – To escape condemnation they reinvent transcendence making new levels of the essence of God and the essence of the person multi-level. Also known as transcendental anthropocentrism, a new humanism based on man, in mankind
The far majority of all the conciliar and post conciliar hierarchy believe in these new Catholic philosophies needed in order to construct this new pan religion
The one who began it was Pope John XXIII –with the rights of man, Paul VI merely fostered it’s merger with Socialism and Marxism acceptance – The Pope that really fashioned it into Papal teachings and pounded into the dicastries for decades was John Paul II , a Popewas by far more revolutionary than any other Conciliar Pope – even though Benedict XVI came very close with some of his theology redux essays including refuting the Holy Trinity to which he still to this day has never recanted of and it exists in multiple places in several of his books and essays as a Bishop – The dissident theologians Rahner and Balthazar were Benedict XVI’s peers. It was John Paul II looked up to them and sought to use his love of Tielhard de Chardin and the Cosmic Christ philosophies to go beyond them
Pope Francis is merely the construction coordinator , the implementer loyal to what these Fathers of the Council have laid down . All of them are in agreement that THEY are the historical architects of the new pan religion remake of Roman Catholicism
After you read some of their theologies and philosophies including their own personal theologians and the philosophers that work for them and continue to work for Francis I and Benedict XVI you then understand much better ‘
Everything that is devolving in western civilization – The commonality between all the Conciliar Popes and their theologians have all spoken and written at length of how wrong it is to work at trying to rebuild and or restore Christendom and that this is not the future Christ and the future Christ people that will need to become part of all religions and all religions to become part of them in the “future Christ”
This language is in almost every one of the 16 documents of the Vatican II Council and it is in each one of these Pope’s constant teachings
The Catholic world is in denial that there is an un televised revolution ravaging it and western civilization that the majority do not understand
Doing What Can and Must Be Done – By Garry Potter On Catholicism.org
Bro. Andre Marie, prior of Saint Benedict Center, recently made mention on this website of Pope Francis joining with a top Muslim cleric in signing a “Document on Human Fraternity” that declares a “diversity of religions” to be “willed by God.” Brother also mentioned a new book having to do with the homosexual network active within the Vatican. No doubt these and other recent developments — I think especially of the betrayal of loyal Chinese Catholics, whose brutal Communist persecutors now have a role in the naming of bishops — are deeply disturbing to all who cling to the undiluted Faith, but, as Brother reminded us at his conclusion: “He that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved” (Matt. 24: 13).

Pope Francis, Indifferentism, and Islamization —On Catholic Family News
In short, Pope Francis has acted as an advocate for Islam. He has portrayed it as a religion of peace, the moral equivalent of Catholicism, and a force for good. A number of people, however, now feel that the pope has seriously misled Christians about the nature and goals of Islam and Islamic immigration.
Archbishop Agrelo: “Migrant Camps Are Concentration Camps” (Part Two) – On Robert Spencer’s Site
This refusal by Archbishop Agrelo to ignore the observable effect so far of tens of millions of Muslims already let into Europe, and his choosing instead to cruelly demonize Europeans who want only to be able to vet those attempting to enter their countries, their homes, is deplorable, though given the example of the Pope, not surprising. Pope Francis has gone from bad to worse — for what could be worse than comparing “populists” (that is, those Europeans who have read enough, studied enough, and observed enough, to become wary of more Muslim migrants) to Adolf Hitler? Pope Francis has been Pope for five years; he is 81; for many, his retirement can’t come fast enough. As for Archbishop Agrelo, perhaps he should concentrate more on the well-being of his own Believers in the archdiocese of Tangiers (Dioecesis Tingitanus), rather than warning about non-existent “concentration camps” being set up for migrants. As Christians in a Muslim sea, in partibus infidelium, his tiny flock of brave Christians — 2,500 of them — in Tangiers will no doubt continue to need his protection for as long as they are allowed to subsist.

Pope Urban II preaching the Crusade at the Council of Clermont
From a commentary on the Gospel of John by Saint Cyril of Alexandria, bishop On the Relationship Of The Holy Ghost To MankindIn a plan of surpassing beauty, the Creator of the universe decreed the renewal of all things in Christ. In his design for restoring human nature to its original condition, he gave a promise that he would pour out on it the Holy Spirit along with his other gifts, for otherwise our nature could not enter once more into the peaceful and secure possession of those gifts.
He therefore appointed a time for the Holy Spirit to come upon us: this was the time of Christ’s coming. He gave this promise when he said: In those days, that is, the days of the Savior, I will pour out a share of my Spirit on all mankind.
When the time came for this great act of unforced generosity, which revealed in our midst the only-begotten Son, clothed with flesh on this earth, a man born of woman, in accordance with Holy Scripture, God the Father gave the Spirit once again. Christ, as the first-fruits of our restored nature, was the first to receive the Spirit. John the Baptist bore witness to this when he said: I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven, and it rested on him.
Christ “received the Spirit” in so far as he was man, and in so far as man could receive the Spirit. He did so in such a way that, though he is the Son of God the Father, begotten of his substance, even before the incarnation, indeed before all ages, yet he was not offended at hearing the Father say to him after he had become man: You are my son; today I have begotten you.
The Father says of Christ, who was God, begotten of him before the ages, that he has been “begotten today,” for the Father is to accept us in Christ as his adopted children. The whole of our nature is present in Christ, in so far as he is man. So the Father can be said to give the Spirit again to the Son, though the Son possesses the Spirit as his own, in order that we may receive the Spirit in Christ. The Son therefore took to himself the seed of Abraham, as Scripture says, and became like his brothers in all things.
The only-begotten Son receives the Spirit, but not for his own advantage, for the Spirit is his, and is given in him and through him, as we have already said. He receives it to renew our nature in its entirety and to make it whole again, for in becoming man he took our entire nature to himself. If we reason correctly, and use also the testimony of Scripture, we can see that Christ did not receive the Spirit for himself, but rather for us in him, for it is also through Christ that all gifts come down to us.
France has, after all, been open to the world. It has welcomed millions of other, non-Muslim migrants — refugees from the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, Portuguese workers in the 1950s, Italian miners throughout the 20th century, and more recently, Latin Americans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Christians from black Africa and the Caribbean, Hindus, Buddhists, even Americans — without any of those migrants causing the problems that arise with Muslim immigrants, not just in France, but all over Europe.
The Two Souls of the Yellow Gilets – Professor Roberto De Mattei With Contributor Francesca Romana – On Rorate Caeli
From the historical-political viewpoint, both these concepts originate with the French Revolution, which marked the end of Christian civilization, and the rise of a “profane” political space.
The immigrants of the first, second and third generations were absent from a revolt that had the rejection of immigration among its objectives – but they won’t stay silent for long. The future scenario that sees the gilets jaunes as protagonists, appears destined to be overlapped with that suggested by Laurent Obertone in his visionary novel: Guerilla: Le jour où tout s’embrasa (tr. it. Signs Publishing 2017). While the Fifth Republic is revealing its vulnerability, the piazzas ready to explode in France are now two: the multicultural one and the sovereign-populist one. And if France explodes, Europe explodes.

Progressivist ‘Simplification’ of the Mass Inspired by Luther – Dialogue Mass XXXVII – Dr Carol Byrne
The fruits of the MassThe doctrine that the Mass produces “fruits” – that it brings both spiritual and temporal benefits to the faithful present and those for whom they pray – was rejected by the Protestant heretics as a superstitious fable. It was their way of attacking the Church’s role in the dispensation of grace. Instead of upholding the impetratory value of the Mass on the grounds that it is Christ Who acts in it and is unfailingly heard by the Father, Jungmann joined with the Protestants in ridiculing it.
Jungmann ridicules the efficacious value of the Mass A whole section of his history of the Mass is devoted to a series of medieval caricatures in the form of anecdotal satire, i.e., “funny stories” intended to raise a few laughs at the expense of traditional Catholic piety. (5) Thus, according to Jungmann, it was popularly believed that “during the time one hears Mass one does not grow older… after hearing Mass one’s food tastes better” etc. (6)
But he made no attempt to put any of this into its proper context, ignoring the centuries-old tradition of Catholic piety, which has been in the Church since the time of the early Fathers but which has been jettisoned by the Liturgical Movement. For example, the mention of not growing any older was explained by St. Leonard of Port Maurice as a reference to a sort of spiritual youthfulness experienced by those who hear Mass devoutly. (7)
The Two Guadalupes – Mary and The Crescent Moon – On OnePeterFive
Tariq Ibn Ziyad and the armies of Islam invaded Spain in 711 AD. They embarked on a reign of terror which included not only the complete military conquest of the Iberian peninsula by 718, but the destruction and transformation of many churches into mosques, and the conversion at the point of a sword of many Catholics to Islam. Faithful Catholics — priests, religious, and laity alike — attempted to preserve their sacred places and objects as much as possible from Islam’s destruction. The Church where this ancient statue of Mary was located was destroyed and turned into a mosque along with everything in it.
Everything, that is, except the statue.
It was said that a few Catholics took the statue and hid it in an iron casket in the banks of the nearby Guadiana River, also known as the Wolf River, or in Latin, lupe. However, none could verify the story. The Extremadura province was a hotbed of fighting for centuries between Catholics and Muslims, and when the Muslims controlled the area, they kept the name given by the Spanish but referred to the local river as a wadi, or oasis. Hence, the river and the surrounding area came to be known as wadi lupe, or Guadalupe.
The statue’s story drifted away into history and legend for six centuries. The Extrama

From the book of the prophet Isaiah 26:7-21 The song of the just. The promise of new life
The way of the just is smooth; the path of the just you make level. Yes, for your way and your judgments, O Lord, we look to you;
Your name and your title are the desire of our souls. My soul yearns for you in the night, yes, my spirit within me keeps vigil for you; When your judgment dawns upon the earth, the world’s inhabitants learn justice.
The wicked man, spared, does not learn justice; in an upright land he acts perversely, and sees not the majesty of the Lord. O Lord, your hand is uplifted, but they behold it not;
Let them be shamed when they see your zeal for your people: let the fire prepared for your enemies consume them. O Lord, you mete out peace to us, for it is you who have accomplished all we have done.
O Lord, our God, other lords than you have ruled us; it is from you only that we can call upon your name. Dead they are, they have no life, shades that cannot rise; For you have punished and destroyed them, and wiped out all memory of them.
You have increased the nation, O Lord, increased the nation to your own glory, and extended far all the borders of the land. O Lord, oppressed by your punishment, we cried out in anguish under your chastising.
As a woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pains, so were we in your presence, O Lord. We conceived and writhed in pain, giving birth to wind; Salvation we have not achieved for the earth, the inhabitants of the world cannot bring it forth.
But your dead shall live, their corpses shall rise; awake and sing, you who lie in the dust. For your dew is a dew of light, and the land of shades gives birth.
Go, my people, enter your chambers, and close your doors behind you; Hide yourselves for a brief moment, until the wrath is past.
See, the Lord goes forth from his place, to punish the wickedness of the earth’s inhabitants; The earth will reveal the blood upon her, and no longer conceal her slain.
From the book On Virginity by Saint Ambrose, bishop You light up your grace of body with your splendor of soul
You are one of God’s people, of God’s family, a virgin among virgins; you light up your grace of body with your splendor of soul. More than others you can be compared to the Church. When you are in your room, then, at night, think always on Christ, and wait for his coming at every moment.
This is the person Christ has loved in loving you, the person he has chosen in choosing you. He enters by the open door; he has promised to come in, and he cannot deceive. Embrace him, the one you have sought; turn to him, and be enlightened; hold him fast, ask him not to go in haste, beg him not to leave you. The Word of God moves swiftly; he is not won by the lukewarm, nor held fast by the negligent. Let your soul be attentive to his word; follow carefully the path God tells you to take, for he is swift in his passing.
What does his bride say? I sought him, and did not find him; I called him, and he did not hear me. Do not imagine that you are displeasing to him although you have called him, asked him, opened the door to him, and that this is the reason why he has gone so quickly; no, for he allows us to be constantly tested. When the crowds pressed him to stay, what does he say in the Gospel? I must preach the word of God to other cities, because for that I have been sent. But even if it seems to you that he has left you, go out and seek him once more.
Who but holy Church is to teach you how to hold Christ fast? Indeed, she has already taught you, if you only understood her words in Scripture: How short a time it was when I left them before I found him whom my soul has loved. I held him fast, and I will not let him go. How do we hold him fast? Not by restraining chains or knotted ropes but by bonds of love, by spiritual reins, by the longing of the soul.
If you also, like the bride, wish to hold him fast, seek him and be fearless of suffering. It is often easier to find him in the midst of bodily torments, in the very hands of persecutors.
His bride says: How short a time it was after I left them. In a little space, after a brief moment, when you have escaped from the hands of your persecutors without yielding to the powers of this world, Christ will come to you, and he will not allow you to be tested for long.
Whoever seeks Christ in this way, and finds him, can say: I held him fast, and I will not let him go before I bring him into my mother’s house, into the room of her who conceived me. What is this “house,” this “room,” but the deep and secret places of your heart?
Maintain this house, sweep out its secret recesses until it becomes immaculate and rises as a spiritual temple for a holy priesthood, firmly secured by Christ, the cornerstone, so that the Holy Spirit may dwell in it.
Whoever seeks Christ in this way, whoever prays to Christ in this way, is not abandoned by him; on the contrary, Christ comes again and again to visit such a person, for he is with us until the end of the world.

Islam’s Thousand-Year War on Christendom – On Catholic Family News
At a time when Catholic youth are taught that Islam means peace, pilgrimage and prayer, and Catholic adults are under the impression that Muslims are a misunderstood minority who only want to share their values and their baba ghanoush, it’s refreshing to occasionally make contact with reality.
At that time war and discord were everywhere, and false teachings were spreading throughout many parts of Europe. The Calvinist and Lutheran heresy was gradually seeping from Switzerland and Germany into northern Italy. The Turkish invasion was also a constant danger, especially in southern Europe.
As wars and rumors of war in the middle east becomes not just an exercise in scriptural exegesis but a reality we look to the root cause
If we put aside for a second the lack of consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart surely a factor – making it the subject a separate and continuing news blog
What affect did the suppression of the declaration of the 5th Marian Dogma the Mediatrix of all Graces at Vatican II council and the stopping of the maximalists theological majority movement from being propagated into the the entire Church and its proliferation into the everyday lives of Christendom everywhere really have?
We see two major components Our Lady the Mediatrix of All Graces giving us the lens to which to see our Lord Jesus Christ within our Trinitarian God – in an authentic setting – attacked by the progressives that hijacked the Vatican II Council – Secondly we see the modernism of the progressivists always aligned with left leaning socialism and disguised elements of moderate forms of communism
If we take a closer look at the attack at the root of the Truth to accomplish their goal in the first part and in the second a slow but forced paradigm shift to the cultural and political philosophy (Catholic and secular ) to the people
and -> as we also defer the philosophy paradigm to a separate news blog of key Catholic journal stories , the first look here is to how middle eastern wars relate to ignoring Our Lady and hence the hypostatic union (divine nature and human nature ) in one person –in and of who Jesus Christ really is
As it unfolds and in the proof of same we see the battle emerge between major elements of Arianism – a battle between which paradigm of the denial of the divinity of Christ will prevail as we get closer to the era of the anti-Christ

So from Professor de Mattei we learn the suppression of the Mediatrix of all Graces was primarily over a very false paradigm of supposed harm to the new protestant proposed theology of ecumenism – which the progressivist Council Fathers had a very false assessment of in their understanding of the Mediatrix dogma (which they did not take the time to study and understand and instead embraced the false movement of ecumenism which they had notions that they did understand

The Theological Hypothesis Of A Heretic Pope – The Heart Of The Crisis Also Tied Up With The Proclamation Of The Mediatrix Of All Graces And The Fatima Consecration | TCE |
From the first letter of the apostle John 3:1-10 We are children of God
See what love the Father has bestowed on us in letting us be called children of God! Yet that is what we are. The reason the world does not recognize us is that it never recognized the Son. Dearly beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall later be has not yet come to light. We know that when it comes to light we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
Everyone who has this hope based on him keeps himself pure, as he is pure. Everyone who sins acts lawlessly for sin is lawlessness. You know well that the reason he revealed himself was to take away sins; in him there is nothing sinful The man who remains in him does not sin. The man who sins has not seen him or known him.
Little ones, let no one deceive you; the man who acts in holiness is holy indeed, even as the Son is holy. The man who sins belongs to the devil, because the devil is a sinner from the beginning. It was to destroy the devil’s works that the Son of God revealed himself. No one begotten of God acts sinfully because he remains of God’s stock; he cannot sin because he is begotten of God.
That is the way to see who are God’s children, and who are the devil’s. No one whose actions are unholy belongs to God, nor anyone who fails to love his brother.
From a sermon by Saint Leo the Great, pope Our faith is increased by the Lord’s ascension
At Easter, beloved brethren, it was the Lord’s resurrection which was the cause of our joy; our present rejoicing is on account of his ascension into heaven. With all due solemnity we are commemorating that day on which our poor human nature was carried up, in Christ, above all the hosts of heaven, above all the ranks of angels, beyond the highest heavenly powers to the very throne of God the Father. It is upon this ordered structure of divine acts that we have been firmly established, so that the grace of God may show itself still more marvellous when, in spite of the withdrawal from men’s sight of everything that is rightly felt to command their reverence, faith does not fail, hope is not shaken, charity does not grow cold.
For such is the power of great minds, such is the light of truly believing souls, that they put unhesitating faith in what is not seen with the bodily eye; they fix their desires on what is beyond sight. Such fidelity could never be born in our hearts, nor could anyone be justified by faith, if our salvation lay only in what was visible.
And so our Redeemer’s visible presence has passed into the sacraments. Our faith is nobler and stronger because sight has been replaced by a doctrine whose authority is accepted by believing hearts, enlightened from on high. This faith was increased by the Lord’s ascension and strengthened by the gift of the Spirit; it would remain unshaken by fetters and imprisonment, exile and hunger, fire and ravening beasts, and the most refined tortures ever devised by brutal persecutors. Throughout the world women no less than men, tender girls as well as boys, have given their life’s blood in the struggle for this faith. It is a faith that has driven out devils, healed the sick and raised the dead.
Even the blessed apostles, though they had been strengthened by so many miracles and instructed by so much teaching, took fright at the cruel suffering of the Lord’s passion and could not accept his resurrection without hesitation. Yet they made such progress through his ascension that they now found joy in what had terrified them before. They were able to fix their minds on Christ’s divinity as he sat at the right hand of his Father, since what was presented to their bodily eyes no longer hindered them from turning all their attention to the realization that he had not left his Father when he came down to earth, nor had he abandoned his disciples when he ascended into heaven.
The truth is that the Son of Man was revealed as Son of God in a more perfect and transcendent way once he had entered into his Father’s glory; he now began to be indescribably more present in his divinity to those from whom he was further removed in his humanity. A more mature faith enabled their minds to stretch upward to the Son in his equality with the Father; it no longer needed contact with Christ’s tangible body, in which as man he is inferior to the Father. For while his glorified body retained the same nature, the faith of those who believed in him was now summoned to heights where, as the Father’s equal, the only-begotten Son is reached not by physical handling but by spiritual discernment.
The antithesis of “I apologize for”…..comes the…. “I can forgive Protestants For “………
It is not all that odd that Protestants had received Muslim financial, political and ideological support 500 years ago―birds of a feather, as it were.
Muslims also celebrate a restorationism of sorts in that they believe Islam is what Allah always had in mind but was simply not sure how to implement it successfully until the advent of Mohammad. They believe that both Jews and Christians have become corrupted along with their sacred scriptures, which are “untrustworthy” due to Allah’s machinations. And that only they have a perfect and complete understanding of God’s “true plan.”
