Month: September 2020

I guess this is now considered normal. Not fringe, at all. Buckle up, buttercup.

“I am not the type of person who would normally consider becoming a Satanist, but these are not normal times. Like so many other women in the United States, when I learned of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing, my first reaction was not grief but fear. I fear that American citizens are inching closer to living in a theocracy or dictatorship and that the checks meant to prevent this from happening are close to eroding beyond repair.

“When Justice Ginsburg died, I knew immediately that action was needed on a scale we have not seen before. Our democracy has become so fragile that the loss of one of the last guardians of common sense and decency in government less than two months before a pivotal election has put our civil and reproductive rights in danger like never before. And, so, I have turned to Satanism…”

Go read the whole thing. The part where she says, “oh but we don’t actually worship Satan…” um, yeah, sweetie, you are demonstrating with every breath that you worship Satan, and he’s just fine with you not knowing it.

Science is a preferable god because it can be controlled, ruled. With the real God they can invoke Him when He comes in handy and ignore Him when He doesn’t. They can do that with science, too. Ask ol’ Nancy about the humanity of an unborn child and see how quickly she shifts gears from “science is a gift from God” to a narrative based on “reproductive health” or “women’s rights” or any of a number of other leftist bromides. Anything but “science.”

But finding ways to use God as a sock puppet is difficult. It’s not impossible (protestantism, Bergoglianism) bit it’s not easy. Science, on the other hand? You can make it say anything you want. It is eminently corruptible. That’s why Nancy loves it so, even though she doesn’t know a thing about it.

Trouble is the left is doing to science what it has done to all the other institutions is has infested: it makes use of the trust, honor, and respect earned by the institution over time not to advance or strengthen the institution, but to advance their political agenda at the expense of the institution.

After so m any years of “science” proclaiming that Bruce Jenner is perfectly normal and healthy, people begin to realize that real science is dead, replaced by a parasitic impostor. Another once respected institution corrupted and sucked dry by the left. Look what the modernist/mason/sodomite cabal have done to the Catholic Church over the last 60 years or so. Without Divine protection they would have buried her already.

The left is incapable of building real institutions. They’re not builders. They’re users, destroyers.

As an aside, (Nancy’s) existence points to a problem I’ve been wrestling with. She’s obviously a liar as the author correctly points out. She’s also a dim bulb. Yet, she’s speaker of the house. And she’s not just a fluke. You can run down the list of many sitting representatives and senators, throw in governors as well. A system of government that all too often reaches down to the underbelly to pluck off people to install as leaders is inherently flawed. Is it universal suffrage? yes that’s part of the problem. A corrupted educational system and institutions (see above) that ditched actual education and the sound formation of young minds long ago is par of it as well. And then throw in morality inversion, which is to say completely banish actual Christian morality and substitute your own pseudo-morality with it’s own Inquisition, heresies, and excommunication via “hate speech” laws, “non-judgmentalism,” and “cancel culture.”

Salvageable? Stranger things have happened. The seeds of destruction were necessarily included in the country’s masonic origins. Even the deists who founded the country admitted that their “experiment” would only work with a moral people. They were correct of course but it is ironic given that many of them rejected the Christianity that was the foundation of the civilization they lived in and whose fruits they enjoyed.

There can be no perfect system of men. That we know. But it can be, and has been, a whole lot better than what it is and what our children and grandchildren will inherit. That’s up to us. All of us. And it begins, as all good things do, and as all worthy projects of building that have any hope of health and stability and longevity, with God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and His Catholic Church. I could go into a Fatima thing here which is not going to go away but I’ve already done that at NVP and Mark was kind enough to publish it.

You can bet that all the schools kept all the money. I’m sure they’re all getting bonus fedgov corona bucks too. Perhaps one of the good things to come out of all this will be the implosion of the college tuition scam. Use your hands, kids. Learn a trade. Work for yourself instead of becoming a slave. Parents, you are sending your children to be brainwashed, and you’re going broke doing it. Stop.

http://IT’S A SCAM: After 48,299 COVID-19 Cases at 37 US Universities – Only 2 Hospitalizations and ZERO Deaths — More Likely to Be Killed By a Dog

“There have now been 48,299 coronavirus cases reported at 37 universities in the United States. Of those cases there have been ONLY 2 hospitalizations. And there have been ZERO DEATHS! They couldn’t even sneak in a cancer victim into their counts because no one died!“

The transcript of this Nancy Pelosi video doesn’t really do it any justice. You have to watch her face, as she spews lie after lie, knowing the audience knows they’re all lies.

She says she recently attended Mass in San Francisco, and received Communion. She says she had to sign up, and there were only two spots left. When she arrived for Mass, everyone was socially distanced. It was a church that could hold 250 and there were maybe twelve people there. She received in the hand, and the priest washed his hands beforehand.

Except there are no Masses in San Francisco. None. That was the whole point of the question, where she answered by bashing the archbishop for not following “science.”

All of this is a lie. None of it happened, everybody knows it, she knows everybody knows it, and everybody knows she knows everybody knows.

Remember, the greatest thrill for a psychopath is in the “getting away with it.”

And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him. And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners? But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill. Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners. Matt 9:9-13

Nothing in the Gospels is accident nor happenstance.

Happy Feast of Saint Matthew!

As a tax collector, Saint Matthew would have been viewed as worst of the worst… totally hopeless and disgusting to even be in the same room. The “professional religious” of the day had their jaws hit the floor at the scene in the custom house. Lower than low, this cat. Unlettered, to say the least. Personally chosen to be a soldier for the Savior of Mankind? NOT WORTHY.

Yet he was chosen, and expectations were leveled. Not by accident.

The anti-church in ascendance is everyone’s problem. It is well past time to put on one’s big boy pants and do something about it. God doesn’t care about your station, there is a job to be done. Prayer and fasting, first and foremost, as we know that we need Supernatural intervention at this point. But also, boots on the ground. The stakes of this battle are souls, and it’s for keeps. Ask yourself every day, “What have I done to refute and remediate the errors that put souls at risk?”

Folks, it’s go time. Somebody wake up Hicks.

From Ann Barnhardt’s latest, a quote from Catechism Made Easy, 1881:

https://www.barnhardt.biz/2020/09/20/on-the-sins-of-doubt-and-scandal/

“Another sin which is directly opposed to the virtue of Faith is all willful doubt of any revealed truth. For if it is forbidden to disbelieve a doctrine, it is no less forbidden to doubt of it, since faith requires that we should firmly hold fast, without a moment’s hesitation, what God teaches and the Church proposes. But notice, my dear children, that it is one thing for a doubt to enter into our minds, and another for us to give way to it. What is forbidden by this commandment is a willful doubt; that is, a doubt which comes into our mind and which we do not put away when we notice it, but which we dwell upon on purpose. If we dislike these doubts, and do our best not to think of them, we do not commit any sin, but, on the contrary, gain great merit.”

Ann is indirectly calling out certain behaviors exhibited on social media in recent days (or in some cases, much longer). But I would like to draw your attention to the critical distinction being made in this passage.

If you want to advance on the path of sanctity, learn this well. The temptations are there for you to resist, so that you might gain even greater graces. The temptations are permitted so that we might use them to our advantage, just like any other type of suffering. The temptations aren’t your fault, unless you give in to them, luxuriate in them, and turn them into sin. The quoted passage is addressing doubt, or lack of faith, but the lesson applies to all temptations: There is no sin without the full assent of the will.

Folks, you need to get this sorted. You will never be without temptation, and it’s for your own good. Every time we choose to love God and turn away from sin, we grow in holiness. After the Fall, this is God’s plan for us to reconcile ourselves to Him by cooperating with grace. When we pray, “Lead us not into temptation,” what we are praying is to not be OVERCOME by temptation, not for temptation itself to be taken away. The anti-church doesn’t understand this, which is why they are messing around with the vernacular translations.

Even our Lord was tempted. Have you ever meditated on that? He was/is a divine person with two distinct natures, human and divine, united in the Hypostatic Union. United but distinct, not commingled. His human nature was fully, truly human, like us in all ways except for sin. This is not an abstract theological concept. Why did He design Himself this way? So that we could know with absolute certainty that every element of the human condition, except sin, has also been experienced by God Himself. That’s how much he loves us. When He was tempted in the desert, it was real. Jesus was tempted. It’s okay to be sufficiently blown away by that.

Make the choice today to take that next step in sanctity. Hone your bearing. The only way to be ready to resist temptation is to already have on the armor of God, head on a swivel. The devil is everywhere waiting to devour you. But His grace abounds, and is always sufficient.

Saint Michael, pray for us!

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Language throughout. Clicking each tweet and reading the thread is helpful.

As you peruse, please consider, they were intent on burning whole cities over the death of George Floyd. Outlawing police. Looting as a civil right. Celebrating the murder of MAGA and Thin Blue Line supporters. Celebrating the criminals in Kenosha (all four of them). How much worse do you think it might get if abortion is legally threatened?

Please join me in offering a Rosary today for this entire situation. May God’s will be done.

Once upon a time in the 1980s, “television evangelists” were part of the American landscape. To their credit, they and their pentecostal congregations were reliable conservatives who voted the right way and, while they not-so-secretly despised the Catholic Church, they were awkward allies in staving off dangerous legislation that would have brought on America’s demise much, much earlier. What does this have to do with the subject of Mark’s post here? Consider the following…1. The television evangelists of that time (Jim Baker, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggert, Robert Tilton, etc.) gained their audiences with the (protestant/pentecostal) Bible and its teachings. But… in no time at all, they all evolved quickly into 90% fundraising operations. Every time you tuned in, the message increasingly was “give us money, give us money, give us money.” In the case of Oral Roberts he even said God would “call him home” if he didn’t raise X amount of funds by a certain date. Sadly, a lot of people did not see the warning signs and gave away much of their hard-earned funds to these charlatans.

2. One by one starting around 1987 or so, scandals broke and so did their (fake) ministries. Those who contributed financially to these scoundrels had no return on their investment and were betrayed. But that was not the worst of it…

3. After the aforementioned pentecostal megachurches and their television evangelists fell from grace, there emerged a new force to replace them… If I may borrow from Ann Barnhardt, the “super-fun rockband church.” The difference was that the focus of these new “churches” was and is to this day, not-so focused on Christianity but rather on feeling good, social justice and coming together on Sunday in the auditorium to listen to some electrical guitars and keyboard perform against light shows and in-between motivational speeches. The former pentecostal mega-church people flocked here in droves. They did not come into the Holy Catholic Church (not that anyone bothered to try and convert them but that’s another topic).

4. Today the “moral majority” is all but dead. We had eight years of Barack Hussein Obama and the most anti-Christian administration that was elected and re-elected by the children of those former evangelists who flocked in record numbers to vote for Ronald Reagan. Socialism is favored by an increasing number of clueless young and old alike in this nation, many of whom have been raised as atheist or agnostic by their former Bible-thumping parents and grandparents. I could go on and on but you see how this country has changed both morally and spiritually since the end of the 1980s.

Bringing this into a Catholic perspective for 2020, I will say BEWARE of any Catholic news outlet, blog, etc. where “donate now” messages pop up immediately after login and you get stalked by them to donate via email or engagement in any sort of way. Also BEWARE of Catholic lay “media celebrities” who focus their ministries on themselves rather than Christ. BEWARE of any Catholic whatever group who militantly expresses a venomous desire to destroy the SSPX. Lastly BEWARE of people who are addicted to social media and especially Facebook and Twitter which do nothing but breed anger, narcissism and stupidity. YOUR CATHOLIC FAITH IS IN DANGER if you allow yourselves to be hooked by such people.

Bergoglio is not pope, and he never was pope. He’s not even Catholic. Do not be scandalized by him. Do not lose your faith. Do not follow anyone who causes you to doubt your faith.

God is in charge, God is in control, God has this. Do you really think that God, all powerful creator of the universe, is pinned down and about to tap out to a bunch of scheming sodomites?

I am writing this post because people are being scandalized by something else, and souls are at stake. Do not EVER doubt that God knows the way out of this. The chessboard is set exactly as He knew it would be set since before He created time.

Yesterday, Steve Skojec published a big piece at 1P5 on doubting the faith. Today he’s promoting it on twitter. I can’t tweet him back, as he blocked me long ago. Here is a sample from the article:

“What do we do when time and again, we are confronted with the unthinkable? What happens when the pope himself — THE POPE HIMSELF (sic) — says contraception is OK, or approves Holy Communion for people living in adultery, or changes the Catechismin a way that reverses the Church’s infallible bi-millenial teaching on the moral liceity of the death penalty (in a way that opens the door to reversing everything else), or signs an interfaith document that undermines the exclusivity of salvation through the Church? What do we think when we hear again and again through one of the pope’s most trusted confidants that he thinks hell doesn’t actually exist, and that the souls of the unrighteous are merely annihilated? What about when he says the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 wasn’t really a miracle – wasn’t “magic” – but just some act of sharing? What about when he says of the Blessed Mother that she wanted to accuse God of lying to her? Or that Jesus actually “became sin“? What of a hundred or a thousand other troubling things?”

https://onepeterfive.com/no-more-platitudes-its-time-to-take-a-hard-look-at-the-crisis-of-catholicism/

We should probably start by asking, can a true pope can do any of these things? Can someone even be Catholic, let alone pope, if he believes these things? If not, is there any chance he’s not really pope? Did anything strange or unusual happen around or just before the time of his “election?” Is there any evidence that maybe he’s not the pope? Evidence that Benedict’s abdication may have been invalid? Should we dig deeper and see what we can find, or should we dismiss this completely and conclude God sucks, and so does His Church of lies?

A third option? A hidden but rational explanation?

Folks, the Catholic Church, the One True Faith, is not a “defective product.” We are called to fight. Act, and God will act. Do not be tempted to run.
