The Brute Force of the Modernist "Catholic" Hierarchy...

Charity is out the window, even though the phonies-in-charge of the "Vatican" virtue signal about "inclusiveness," "mercy" -- but not for traditionalists -- "love."  Truly sickening!

Anyone individual or organization that dares to remain true to their charism comes under constant attack from the "Catholic" hierarchy, whether from a directive from the "Vatican," or pressure applied by the local bishop of a diocese.

These apostates have over-played their collective hands, and the spiritual -- and in some cases, physical -- trauma they have caused will come around as a boomerang returns to its thrower.  They fail to study history; they fail to realize that, eventually, the instigators of revolution, whether to overthrow a duly elected government, or to smash traditionalism in the real Catholic Church, will come back to bite them.  Such happened during the French Revolution, when the founders of that massacre, themselves, became too "conservative" for the new radical element that took over the "duties" of death and mayhem, and lost their respective heads to the bloody guillotine.  The rabid dog had turned on its master...

Those that cause anxiety and anguish among the true faithful, will have a high price to pay when they stand before their Just Judge, that is, if they don't repent and make amends for the suffering, and, in some cases, spiritual death of a formerly innocent soul.

Traditional orders of nuns and brothers have been attacked and disbanded simply because they desire to follow their real Master, Christ, Jesus; good priests keep silent even though they believe that one MUST become a Catholic to be saved.

Many refuse to "modernize" their dress or their constitutions to suit the more liberal, progressive elements in charge -- at least for now -- of the human element of the suffocating Church.

But God will not be mocked!

That fickle pendulum is now beginning to swing BACK in the direction of true charity for souls; true evangelization; true ecumenism -- to bring the Truth to all outside the loving boundaries of the Church, outside of which, there is NO SALVATION FOR ANY HUMAN BEING: NO EXCEPTIONS!!!   Regardless of the watering-down of the perennial doctrine of Christ Himself!

May God Almighty have mercy on these apostates, because I won't.

Pray for our country...

Fake news; lies; virtue signaling; defamation; libel...

Fake news; lies; virtue signaling; defamation; libel, etc...

If these words sound familiar, they should.  Just check out the daily mainstream media attacks against President Trump to confirm those very descriptive yet disheartening words...

In the political realm this is bad enough, but, when it comes to the spiritual realm, those accused have to fight for their very lives -- their reputations --  because of the malicious perceptions created in the minds of those who hear or read such attacks directed at them in the media or in official documents.

What am I talking about here?

Last Sunday at Mass, our priest gave a wonderful, hopeful sermon on the Wise Men that followed the Star that led them to the Babe in the manger.  We all know -- from stories and paintings -- that when the Wise Men (Balthazar, Caspar, and Melchior) came upon the manger with the Christ-child, surrounded by His Mother, and His foster-father, the great St. Joseph (the Bible refers to St. Joseph as "JUST"), they not only offered the gifts, but more importantly, they dropped to their knees in adoration.  Not the veneration that we Catholics offer to His most Blessed Mother, Mary -- they knew that they just saw their salvation.  This is similar to Simeon, the great priest in the Temple at the Presentation, who held the Babe in his arms and blessed His parents.  He then exclaimed that God can now dismiss His servant for he has seen his salvation.  All the while, Anna, the Prophetess, began to preach to all who would listen that their Savior was now among His people, Israel.

There are a couple of reasons I re-created this scene for this short article: first, to show that there is hope for all who would listen to the WORD MADE FLESH, but also to show that not all listened.  In other words, not all were saved even though Christ came into the world to redeem His people as well as the Gentiles.  I just mentioned that Anna began to preach, but not all listened to her message.  Some just walked by, attending to their spirituality, whatever that entailed...

Second; later, when Christ started His public ministry, some listened; some didn't; some who did listen, eventually walked no more with Him after hearing some very "hard sayings."   So, what happened to them that walked no more?  Were they lost or saved?  We don't know; I don't know.

Fast forward to the present day...

We Catholics are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to fulfilling the command to preach and baptize...

And if we adhere to the perennial teachings of Holy Mother Church: that which is always and everywhere believed and taught, including those "hard sayings," we can be -- and have been -- attacked by those in charge, just as the Pharisees were in charge and functioned as the religious leaders of their time.

We, who wish to remain true to the dogmas and doctrines of Christ and His Church -- His Mystical Body -- cannot and will not compromise because of some perceived notion that we are being uncharitable.

Quite the contrary: it is uncharitable not to tell the truth; not to practice true ecumenism.  We wish for all to enter the Church -- the ONE ark of salvation for all human creatures.  We cannot and will not water-down those doctrines -- the very reason why Christ died on the Cross for us.

Remember again, it was the "religious" leaders who told their followers to shape up or ship out, so to speak.

We are NOT shipping out, and neither did the early martyrs.

So, if the hierarchs of today threaten us with who knows what for upholding the authentic Magisterium (the teaching arm of the Church), then so be it.

As I just wrote, the pendulum is beginning to swing back in OUR direction and THEY know and fear that!!  

I conclude with this: the FAITH comes first; false obedience is a VICE, not a virtue.   So continue to spread the fake news; LIES; virtue signal; defame and libel us all you want.. God will NOT be mocked.

May God have mercy on your souls, because I won't...

The Merchants of Death Continue Their Slaughter Unabated...

As the title of this article, The Merchants of Death Continue Their Slaughter Unabated, the slaughter is not only of the physical death of human beings -- whether in the womb, or those elderly and disabled confined to beds or wheelchairs -- but also the spiritual death of the soul of those unable or unwilling to fight the good fight in the face of pure evil.

Very sadly, most of the killing takes place in abortion "clinics," or hospitals, and some, in their own homes, with, believe it or not, help from their families to "assist" them in taking their own lives.

Another form of mayhem and death takes place on the streets of many cities here in the U.S.  Just take a quick look at America's third largest city, Chicago, where almost every weekend brings with it another record homicide tally, inflicting pain and anguish upon family after family.  Many such killings are of the gang or drug related variety, with many innocent bystanders being shot and killed, including children.

We have a southern border that is a sieve allowing far too many aliens to enter our country almost at will.  Some, however, never make it through the desert, dying in crowded cars, vans, or trucks, after being bled dry of money or their meager belongings by human smugglers: the coyotes.

I have personally witnessed coyotes ply their diabolical trade on more than one occasion while I lived in Southern California, only a few short miles from the Mexican border south of San Diego.

As horrible as these deaths are, there is another form of death: spiritual death of the soul.

Remember, our Lord tells us in the Bible not to fear he who can kill the body, but he who can kill the soul and drag it into hell.

Today, the merchants of spiritual death do their dastardly deeds among an unsuspecting, or poorly catechized, dwindling Catholic population still attached to the new-order façade that calls itself the Catholic Church.

In reality, it is not Catholic, but a poor imitation of the Church of Christ founded on the Rock of St. Peter.

But they have overplayed their hand in squashing the faithful of a dedicated, traditional Catholic community right here in New Hampshire.

I warn those same "churchmen" that the pendulum is already beginning to swing in OUR direction, and away from the corruption and abuse-riddled "catholic church" that seems to be in the headlines of rags (newspapers) almost on a daily basis.

Their pews are nearly empty due to the pagan practice of contraception and even abortion!

The scandalous action of suppressing real Catholics who remain faithful to the authentic Magisterium, is nothing short of diabolical disorientation, not of those faithful Catholics, but of the power-hungry hierarchs who have sold their very precious souls for position and influence in this life, and to hell with the next!

The Merchants of Death Continue Their Slaughter Unabated -- of the souls entrusted to their charge.  And for that, they will be held severely accountable when they stand before the Just Judge.

May God Almighty have mercy on your souls, because I won't.

There comes a time to make a choice: The Faith, or false obedience under threat of...?

For all practicing Catholics, at some time or other, a choice must be made: to follow the Faith, uncompromised and undefiled, or submit to a false obedience under threat of...?  

That threat might go to the extreme of excommunication.  Now, for a real, authentic Catholic, that threat can turn a spiritual life upside-down.  But!  There is hope!  Remember, there is little choice if one puts the Faith first, regardless who issues what directive, even if condemnation.

My family and I attend the Traditional Latin Mass exclusively.  We simply will not attend what is called the new-order mass of the modernist "Catholic" church.  We have been somewhat criticized for that; so be it.  But when the time comes, I -- and my family members -- will someday have to answer to Christ at our Particular Judgment for our actions or inactions.  And one of those actions that we will be judged for is: did we give to Christ the worship and honor that He demanded of us during our lifetime by attending the perennial Latin Mass that was the same going back to the Sixth Century, or, did we abandoned Him to the whims of the modernists in their attempt to make the venerable Mass -- the focus of sacrifice and worship -- into something akin to the Protestant "worship" service?

And, because we believe in the thrice defined dogma that outside the Catholic Church there is no remission of sins, and, especially, no salvation for any human creature, we take even more heat from those "in command".

The "commanders"?  The bishops of the various dioceses they -- and we -- reside in.

Haven't those "commanders" ever heard of the Protestant Reformation?  

Look, let's be frank here: it was not a "reformation," no, it was a revolt against the Church of Christ, and, hence, a revolt against Christ Himself -- The Head of the Body of the Church.

Luther was wrong; dead wrong!  He unleashed a torrent of death and mayhem that even took him aback after seeing the rotten fruits of the peasant revolt that left uncountable dead and properties ruined.

Today, we have another revolt: the modernist revolt.  It wears a façade of authentic Catholicism, but in reality, it is unrecognizable as the Church of Christ; an empty shell; a hollow building devoid of holiness, but filled with novelty and false charity.

We faithful Catholics will survive as St. Athanasius survived during the Arian heresy; today, things are worse, much worse.  But we have to take heart!  It is Athanasius that has the august handle of SAINT in front of his name...

I ask all of good will to pray for those practicing Catholics undergoing the worst persecution since the Arian heresy of the late Fourth and early Fifth Centuries..

And it is happening right here in the U.S. of A.; right here in the Live Free or Die state!!

The demonic Hillary Clinton wants to be able to kill your pre-born baby right up to birth!

This creepy, anti-life demon, Hillary Clinton, is well beyond child-bearing age, and yet, she wants to be able to take control of all women's bodies (as the Demonrats always accuse the Republicrats of doing), and that includes the power to abort -- kill -- a pre-born baby right up to the birth of the little girl or boy!

How many know that "partial-birth-abortion" is a federal crime?  Not to mention, that whether it is or not, such a heinous act is a violation of the Natural (moral) Law, and, is, in fact, premeditated murder.

And now, the Demonrat, Killary, and the Governor of New York State, Andrew Cuomo, are "teaming-up" to make sure that such murder will be enshrined in the N.Y.S. constitution, fearing that Roe v Wade will soon be overturned.

A couple of things to consider here: first, Gov. Cuomo is a "Catholic"; an adulterer; a fornicator living with his concubine; openly receives Holy Communion from the hands of the "Catholic" "Bishop" in his diocese; is the son of the now deceased, former governor of N.Y.; Mario Cuomo, he was also a radical pro-abortion "Catholic."  His brother is Chris Cuomo, you know, the unhinged "journalist" on CNN, also a pro-death "Catholic".

See the common thread here: all three Cuomos are "Catholic" -- in name only, of course.  But the other common thread here is that the phony, façade of a "Catholic" hierarchy exists in sort of a parallel universe, diametrically opposed to the binding teachings of the real Catholic Church.

So this "Catholic" governor of N.Y. is conspiring to pressure the N.Y.S. legislature to pass this monster bill: The Reproductive Health Act (RHA).  It's been around for years, but so far has failed to pass; let's see what happens in this new push...

Again, Clinton, a former senator from N.Y.S., is using whatever political punch she still has to help get this diabolical legislation passed.  If it passes the N.Y. House, then it goes to the Senate; if it passes there, then Cuomo will be tickled-pink to sign this license to kill into N.Y.S.'s newest attack on the pre-born, into law.

If such a heinous piece of legislation becomes law, it will be similar to what takes place in China, and has been for many years: the one-child policy, only recently changed to allow the husband and wife to have more than one child.

The handwriting was on the wall, and even the Communists realized that there weren't enough female babies being born for the male population.  Now, in the U.S., we have these radical population-control types that would happily adopt the former "China policy."

I recently wrote that Socialists and Communists are the enemies of the building block of society: the family, and now you can include the Clintons and the Cuomos in the anti-family, anti-life army of "Americans" who have rejected God in favor of power and position in this life, and to hell with whatever price they will have to pay in the next.  Heaven help them; they'll need it!

Pray for our country more than ever...

Looking into the face of a Socialist, or is she a Communist?...

If one read the difference between Communism and Socialism, it should be pretty easy to determine that neither system is of any benefit to humankind, except to the state as ruler of humankind, or its representatives determining who gets what and how much.

You, or I, wouldn't have much choice in the manner of how we live our lives, or earn our income, with the almighty state telling us what to do and how to do it.

Under such systems, you could very well kiss precious freedoms goodbye.

And remember, those freedoms include the freedom to worship God.  But under the yoke of Socialism or Communism, you would be hard-pressed to find a church that hasn't been transformed, or infiltrated by the operatives of those heinous systems, making sure that the peons always know their place...

Under such systems, economic freedom would be a thing of the past.  A false egalitarianism would be the new norm!  You couldn't have more than me, and I couldn't have more than you.

But the dirty little secret hidden behind both systems is that there will be elites that always seem to have more than you or I combined.  And, in fact, can become quite rich at the expense of -- you and me!

Even our freedom to travel; move around, would or could be severely curtailed.

Want to have more than 2.1 children in order to keep the population on an even keel?  See what happens if you exceed that limit: China will happen, that's what.

Want to own private property, including a home?  Lot's of luck...

And yet, some very misinformed -- or brainwashed? -- Americans -- yes Americans!!! -- have just voted into office a despicable, lying, phony, Demonrat (Socialist/Communist) from the Bronx, New York, into the House of Representatives for a two-year term.

Now, I am particularly upset about this for many reasons, but one is that the Bronx is where I was born and raised until I entered the military back in 1965.  In fact, when I was born, Truman was president of the U.S. of A., taking over after the death of Franklin Roosevelt in 1945, just before the end of World War II.

I am getting a little off-track here, so let me get back to the culprit I have just described: her name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a hard Left radical intent on implementing her lunatic agenda at the expense of all of us, except her, of course...

This female has been caught in lie after lie regarding her past; the way she was brought up; where she lived; the schools she attended, etc.  And yet, the gullible were more than happy to sweep her into office over another liberal Demonrat -- but just a little less radical than she...

There is nothing this female wouldn't do or propose in the House to make us all suffer for her "green" initiatives.  Again, at the expense of all that we hold dear, especially our traditions.  You see, Socialists and Communists hate tradition, so we had all better get used to knuckling under to this diabolical disorientation, that is, if you and I are not willing to fight for what we believe in and treasure, especially our families.  Remember too, that these types are enemies of the building block of society: the family.  They know that when families are strong, they can't win.  They also know that if we stand fast to our right to keep and bear arms (the Second Amendment) they will never be able to steal our freedoms, never!

But Cortez and her ilk are a symptom of the disease, not the cause of Socialism and Communism.  They are, for all practical purposes, useful idiots.  And when their usefulness is over, they will be the next group to be sent to the guillotine.  It never fails!  History often repeats itself for those who simply don't learn from it...

Make no mistake, these folks are dangerous!

Pray for our country..

Follow-up to: Confession: good for the soul (mind, body, spirit)...

Last September (2018) I wrote an article entitled: Confession: good for the soul (mind, body, spirit).. (see here confession is good for the soul).  Now, I'd like to refer to several verses in the Bible that indicate that Christ did indeed give the power to forgive sins to (sinful) men!  His Apostles (bishops, and, by extension priests).

If one takes even a cursory look at these verses, you will have to acknowledge that there is such a thing as confession and the forgiveness of sins (or the sacrament of Penance), keeping in mind that St. Paul talks about the ministers of Christ as the dispensers of the mysteries (sacraments) to the faithful.

First, we look at St. John 20; 22-23: And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained...

Second, in St. Matthew 18; 18.  Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.  Another strong indication that Christ gave His Apostles that enormous power!!

Now there are two other verses in St. Matthew 18; 21 and 22.  St. Peter is asking Christ how many times should "I" forgive someone that sins against me; seven times?  Christ tells St. Peter not seven times, but seventy times seven.

In other words, as long as someone asks for forgiveness they can (not must) be forgiven.

But why "can" and not must?

When we Catholics go to Confession, we have to meet certain requirements in order for the priest to grant us absolution, among these requirements is that we have contrition (we are sorry for committing that sin), and -- very important here -- we make a firm purpose of amendment not to commit that sin again.

Translation: just because someone asks for forgiveness of sins, doesn't mean that the mentioned sin will be forgiven.

I do realize that we all have weakened natures, that is why Christ gave the power to forgive sins in the first place.  He knew us then, and He knows us now.  He took on our human nature in the fulness of time that we have an avenue to stay, or come back to Him if we left His good graces.  Remember the Prodigal Son?  He squandered his fortune; led a morally terrible life, but when he returned home, his father saw that he was sorry for the way he had lived his life, and forgave him!

The forgiveness of sins is not something that falls from the sky, or a sin is forgiven because someone "accepts Christ as his/her personal Savior," no, it is more than that.  And I hope that these verses will help those non-Catholics see the real love of Christ in the Sacrament of Confession (Penance).

If there are any questions about what I wrote in this article, please comment and I'll try my best to answer you...

Pray for our country.
