Waste Land: Britain’s Culture of Death – Crisis Magazine

Alder Hey Hospital stirred memories. This hospital was at the center of a scandal at the end of the last century. Between 1988 and 1995, it was revealed that, without parental consent, the hospital had harvested 2,080 organs, removed from 800 children. Also without consent, Alder Hey had stored 1,500 unborn babies bodies that had been miscarried, stillborn or aborted.

John Zmirak: Alfie Evans Case Shows the State Has ‘Ultimate Control’ over Your Kids

http://www.breitbart.com/radio/2018/04/30/john-zmirak-alfie-evans-case-shows-the-state-has-ultimate-control-over-your-kids/

Where is the Church headed ?!

Anyone can see it – the corporate road map, the policies , and the constitutions are all laid out for anyone to read in the Vatican II documents at the root of where we are today

They clearly state that the Church must cooperate with other religions and yield the former theocratic government of the Church to that of individual States in every single one of its documents

( The Rights Of Man Above The Rights Of God )

Bishop de Procenca Siguad of Jacarenzinho and Diamantina

Attempted to inform the preparatory commissions of Vatican II what was really going on

“The revolutionary process begins at the end of the middle ages with the pagan Renaissance, and made great strides during the pseudo-reformation. During the French revolution it destroyed the political and social foundation of the Church. During the conquest then of the Papal States it thought that is was destroying the Holy See. With the confiscation and secularization of the properties of religious orders and dioceses it dispersed the patrimony of the Church. With modernism it created an extremely serious internal crisis , and most recently with communism it created a decisive instrument for banishing the Christian name from the earth.

The greatest strength of the revolution comes from the cunning use of human passions. Communism created the science of revolution, and its most basic weapons are , unbridled human passions methodically stirred up. The revolution uses two vices as forces to destroy Catholic society and to build atheistic society ; sensuality and pride. These disordered passions are directed scientifically to as specific end , and they are submitted to the iron discipline of their masters in order to raze the city of God to its foundations and build instead the city of man. They welcome dictatorship, promote poverty as a passing tool to promote the social order of the anti-Christ .”

The Bishop  continued

‘These matters are presented in such subtle ways that a less well –informed Catholic does not grasp the malice of the teaching

Although the evil of the teaching is not perceived, the Catholic retains the perverse principal in his soul in a latent and active way, and without noticing it gradually becomes imbued with this principal, and with the spirit of the revolution”

The Council he said MUST find it necessary to reissue the Syllabus of Pius IX including in it the errors of socialism , those of Marc Sangnier, the Sillon and the entire social heresy of Jacques Maritain. Causing extreme harm to the Church especially in Latin America. The young clergy are ruined through studying and embracing it.

“The idolatry of democracy, the idols of the Christian Democrats, the errors of the concepts of the Priesthood of the laity, the errors concerning obedience and religious vows, sympathetic positions toward communism , re-evaluating and overthrowing concepts of personal property, and re-introducing pantheism through false acceptances of evolution.

The Vatican suddenly began to approve of Maritain and France made him their Ambassador to the Holy See.

This is the enemy’s Trojan horse strategy – syncretism with modernism – Dissolve Catholic principals and morality and declare them LESSER EVILS- …sound prophetically familiar ?!

Catholics must cooperate and adapt to non-Catholics, the myths of good faith and the abjectly false notions of some truth in every religion is a masonic brain washing.”

Bishop de Procenca Siguad called for “science of counter-revolution” to be adopted as the focal point of the Vatican II Council – He was dismissed following the first Session of the Vatican II Council as were all the conservative and traditionalist Cardinals and Bishops. The Pope then passed a moto-proprio that he no longer needed a 2/3 majority to change the Council seats and beginning in the 2nd of 4 sessions stacked the deck with liberals and dismissed the alarms warnings of the masonic direction of the Church by de Procenca Siguad , which in the first session were the majority and at the start of the 2nd sessions were reduced (by moto-proprio ) to the minority

It then took less than Twenty years from the Council to the 1980s for the results of the revolution and the desired self –destruction to take root. Many masonic Bishops were quoted as saying we must teach the people to not only accept the necessity of destroying the old in order to build the new Church but to make them workers in the movement

Statements Of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre form the late 1980s begins to ring as prophetic

“It’s very difficult to say, “This man is a Freemason,” “This man is a Freemason,” or “This man is a Freemason.” We don’t know. It’s very difficult. It is certain that there are some cardinals, some bishops, cardinals in the Curia, or monsignors or secretaries of congregations in Rome that are Freemasons. That is certain because the Freemasons themselves have said that. They have said that they have in their lodge some priests and bishops. It is certain that there are some cardinals and many monsignors in Rome who do the same work as the Freemasons; they have the same thinking, the same mind.”  ~Archbishop Lefebvre, 1986 interview, St. Michael’s Mission, Atlanta, GA

Servants of globalism

So by way of conclusion, either we are the heirs of the Catholic Church, i.e., of Quanta Cura, of Pascendi, with all the popes down to the Council and with the great majority of bishops prior to the Council, for the reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ and for the salvation of souls; or else we are the heirs of those who strive, even at the price at breaking with the Catholic Church and her doctrine, to acknowledge the principles of the Rights of Man, based on a veritable apostasy, in order to obtain a place as servants in the Revolutionary World Government. That is it. They will manage to get quite a good place as servants in the Revolutionary World Government because, by saying they are in favor of the Rights of Man, religious liberty, democracy and human equality, clearly they are worth being given a position as servants in the World Government.

Vatican II is profoundly wrong

This fight between the Church and the liberals and modernism is the fight over Vatican II. It is as simple of that. And the consequences are far-reaching.

The more one analyzes the documents of Vatican II, and the more one analyzes their interpretation by the authorities of the Church, the more one realizes that what is at stake is not merely superficial errors, a few mistakes, ecumenism, religious liberty, collegiality, a certain Liberalism, but rather a wholesale perversion of the mind, a whole new philosophy based on modern philosophy, on subjectivism to the revolution.

Ours an ancient struggle against the revolution

“”Well, these texts are astounding, quite astounding! I shall quote you a few texts shortly. It is incredible. In the last few weeks.  I have been spending a little time re-reading the book by Emmanuel Barbier on liberal Catholicism. And it is striking to see how our fight now is exactly the same fight as was being fought then by the great Catholics of the 19th century, in the wake of the French Revolution, and by the popes, Pius VI, Pius VII, Pius VIII, Gregory XVI, Pius IX, Leo XIII, and so on, Pius X, down to Pius XII.

Their fight is summed up in the encyclical Quanta Cura with the Syllabus of Pius IX, and Pascendi Dominici Gregis of Pius X. There are the two great documents, sensational and shocking in their day, laying out the Church’s teaching in face of the modern errors, the errors appearing in the course of the Revolution, especially in the Declaration of the Rights of Man. This is the fight we are in the middle of today. Exactly the same fight.

There are those who are for the Syllabus and Pascendi, and there are those who are against. It is simple. It is clear. Those who are against are adopting the principles of the French Revolution, the modern errors. Those who are for the Syllabus and Pascendi remain within the true Faith, within Catholic doctrine.

The Economist (Saint Antoninus) – On Nobility and Analogous Traditional Elites

” The literary productions of St. Antoninus, while giving evidence of the eminently practical turn of his mind, show that he was a profound student of history and theology. ”

Many do not realize that in the late 1400s prior to his death he fought the emergence of protestantism in society He saw the social and economic revamping of banking systems and the undermining of Catholic teaching against interest (usury) as undermining Catholic culture , the creation of economic denominationalism that would undermine the central authority of the Church and give rise to theological denominationalism that would war with the Church and needed to be fought in its earliest stages He wrote a most interesting Summa of his own that most of us have read and digested

From the Book of Revelation 19:11-21 The victory of the Word of God

The heavens were opened, and as I, John, looked on, a white horse appeared; its rider was called “The Faithful and True.” Justice is his standard in passing judgment and in waging war. His eyes blazed like fire, and on his head were many diadems. Inscribed on his person was a name known to no one but himself. He wore a cloak that had been dipped in blood, and his name was the Word of God. The armies of heaven were behind him riding white horses and dressed in fine linen, pure and white. Out of his mouth came a sharp sword for striking down the nations. He will shepherd them with an iron rod; it is he who will tread out in the winepress the blazing wrath of God the Almighty. A name was written on the part of the cloak that covered his thigh: “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Next I saw an angel standing on the sun. He cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midheaven: “Come! Gather together for the great feast God has prepared for you! You are to eat the flesh of kings, of commanders and warriors, of horses and their riders; the flesh of all men, the free and the slave, the small and the great.” Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth, and the armies they had mustered to do battle with the One riding the horse, and with his army. The beast was captured along with the false prophet who performed in its presence the prodigies that led men astray, making them accept the mark of the beast and worship its image. Both were hurled down alive into the fiery pool of burning sulphur. The rest were slain by the sword which came out of the mouth of the One who rode the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on the flesh of the slain.

From a sermon by Saint Gregory of Nyssa, bishop The first born of the new creation

The reign of life has begun, the tyranny of death is ended. A new birth has taken place, a new life has come, a new order of existence has appeared, our very nature has been transformed! This birth is not brought about by human generation, by the will of man, or by the desire of the flesh, but by God.

If you wonder how, I will explain in clear language. Faith is the womb that conceives this new life, baptism the rebirth by which it is brought forth into the light of day. The Church is its nurse; her teachings are its milk, the bread from heaven is its food. It is brought to maturity by the practice of virtue; it is wedded to wisdom; it gives birth to hope. Its home is the kingdom; its rich inheritance the joys of paradise; its end, not death, but the blessed and everlasting life prepared for those who are worthy.

This is the day the Lord has made – a day far different from those made when the world was first created and which are measured by the passage of time. This is the beginning of a new creation. On this day, as the prophet says, God makes a new heaven and a new earth. What is this new heaven? you may ask. It is the firmament of our faith in Christ. What is the new earth? A good heart, a heart like the earth, which drinks up the rain that falls on it and yields a rich harvest.

In this new creation, purity of life is the sun, the virtues are the stars, transparent goodness is the air, and the depths of the riches of wisdom and knowledge, the sea. Sound doctrine, the divine teachings are the grass and plants that feed God’s flock, the people whom he shepherds; the keeping of the commandments is the fruit borne by the trees.

On this day is created the true man, the man made in the image and likeness of God. For this day the Lord has made is the beginning of this new world. Of this day the prophet says that it is not like other days, nor is this night like other nights. But still we have not spoken of the greatest gift it has brought us. This day destroyed the pangs of death and brought to birth the firstborn of the dead.

I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God. O what wonderful good news! He who for our sake became like us in order to make us his brothers, now presents to his true Father his own humanity in order to draw all his kindred up after him.

Do we have a freedom of religion in its fullest expression or a freedom to worship only ?

From the book of Revelation 15:5—16:21 The seven bowls of God’s wrath

I, John, had another vision. The heavenly sanctuary which is the tent of witness opened up, and out of it came the seven angels holding the seven plagues. The angels were dressed in pure white linen, each with a sash of gold about his breast. One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of the God who lives forever and ever. Then the sanctuary became so filled with the smoke which arose from God’s glory and might that no one could enter it until the seven plagues of the seven angels had come to an end.

I heard a mighty voice from the sanctuary say to the seven angels, “Go and pour out upon the earth the seven bowls of God’s wrath!”

The first angel went out, and when he poured out his bowl on the earth, severe and festering boils broke out on the men who had accepted the mark of the beast or worshiped its image.

The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. The sea turned to blood like that of a corpse, and every creature living in the sea died.

The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs. These also turned to blood. Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters cry out:

“You are just, O Holy One
who is and who was,
in passing this sentence!
To those who shed the blood of saints and prophets,
you have given blood to drink;
they deserve it.”
Then I heard the altar cry out:
“Yes, Lord God Almighty,
your judgments are true and just!”

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. He was commissioned to burn men with fire. Those who were scorched by the intense heat blasphemed the name of God who had power to send these plagues, but they did not repent or give him due honor.

The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast. Its kingdom was plunged into darkness; men bit their tongues in pain and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their suffering and their boils. But they did not turn away from their wicked deeds.

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates. Its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East. I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come from the mouth of the dragon, from the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet; these spirits were devils who worked prodigies. They went out to assemble all the kings of the earth for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. (Be on your guard! I come like a thief. Happy the man who stays wide awake and fully clothed for fear of going naked and exposed for all to see!) The devils then assembled the kings in a place called in Hebrew “Armageddon.”

Finally, the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the empty air. From the throne in the sanctuary came a loud voice which said, “It is finished!” There followed lightning flashes and peals of thunder, then a violent earthquake. Such was its violence that there has never been one like it in all the time men have lived on the earth. The great city was split into three parts, and the other Gentile cities also fell. God remembered Babylon the great, giving her the cup filled with the blazing wine of his wrath. Every island fled and mountains disappeared. Giant hailstones like huge weights came crashing down on mankind from the sky, and men blasphemed God for the plague of hailstones, because this plague was so severe.

From a treatise on John by Saint Augustine, bishop The new commandment

A new commandment I give you, that you love one another. This commandment that he is giving them is a new one, the Lord Jesus tells his disciples. Yet was it not contained in the Old Law, where it is written: You shall love your neighbor as yourself? Why does the Lord call it new when it is clearly so old? Or is the commandment new because it divests us of our former selves and clothes us with the new man? Love does indeed renew the man who hears, or rather obeys its command; but only that love which Jesus distinguished from a natural love by the qualification: As I have loved you.

This is the kind of love that renews us. When we love as he loved us we become new men, heirs of the new covenant and singers of the new song. My brothers, this was the love that even in bygone days renewed the holy men, the patriarchs and prophets of old. In later times it renewed the blessed apostles, and now it is the turn of the Gentiles. From the entire human race throughout the world this love gathers together into one body a new people, to be the bride of God’s only Son. She is the bride of whom it is asked in the Song of Songs: Who is this who comes clothed in white? White indeed are her garments, for she has been made new; and the source of her renewal is none other than this new commandment.

And so all her members make each other’s welfare their common care. When one member suffers, all the members suffer with him, and if one member is glorified all the rest rejoice. They hear and obey the Lord’s words: A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; not as men love one another for their own selfish ends, nor merely on account of their common humanity, but because they are all gods and sons of the Most High. They love one another as God loves them so that they may be brothers of his only Son. He will lead them to the goal that alone will satisfy them, where all their desires will be fulfilled. For when God is all in all, there will be nothing left to desire.

This love is the gift of the Lord who said: As I have loved you, you also must love one another. His object in loving us, then, was to enable us to love each other. By loving us himself, our mighty head has linked us all together as members of his own body, bound to one another by the tender bond of love.
