A picture worth a thousand words

I awoke 8 Nov 2016 to facebook posts of very long election lines in PA, my native place. A good sign, even in suburban Philadelphia. Normally Philly and its contiguous counties are Blue, the rest of the state is Red other than State College, but the state ends up going Blue because the Philly population is just too big. And voter fraud.
Then I saw the lines in the blue collar wards within Philadelphia. Very good sign. Even the unions were going for Trump.  There is no early voting in PA – you must go to the polls on election day. A bright, sunny, mild election day. Deo Gratias.
In AZ, my current place, about 70% of ballots are cast via early voting. So lines at polling places are unheard of. But yesterday there were widespread reports of long lines in suburban and rural places. Republican places. Good sign.
AZ is typically a Red state for national elections and statewide races, but we have just enough Lefties to make things interesting sometimes.  They started saying AZ was in play about two months ago, after Pussygate.
Now, I happen to live in central Phoenix, in one of the Bluer districts. Our Dem Congresswomen was re-elected with 61%. I don’t think I saw one Trump sign anywhere near my house. And interestingly, at houses full of signs for Dem candidates for all the other races, no Hillary signs. I noticed it weeks ago.  For every ten houses with loads of Dem signs, maybe one had a Hillary sign.
I voted early via paper ballot.  My wife went to the polls at 10am, figuring it was her best chance for a short line.
It was empty. I snickered.
During the lunch hour, I decided to take a drive to check it out. Surely this would be the busiest time, other than 5:15-6pm, right?
vote
Yeah. so I had a pretty good idea at 12:35pm where this was headed.  This is what played out across America.  In PA, OH, MI, WI, and FLORIDA.
Republicans showed up in droves, with great misgivings about their own candidate, but determined to stop HER. Dems were either repulsed enough to stay away, or else thought Trump didn’t have a chance.
Probably, the latter.  They believed their own fake polls. Even the tools on the news networks were in genuine disbelief as it played out last night. The moment Fox called Florida for Trump, the shift in tone was grave.
It was amazing.
 

On the very day of U.S. election, Francis dialogues with Italy’s most famous mass murderer

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, right? HERE
It’s not the first time, either.  He loves her.
Emma Bonino, the unrepentant diabolical abortionist, has boasted of killing over 10,000 unborn babies. Her favorite method is using a bicycle pump. She is THE foremost promoter of abortion in Italy, and it’s not even close. This is the woman Francis invites to the Vatican on multiple occasions to “dialogue.” This is the woman Francis calls “one of the great ones.” READ THIS LINK: HERE
We Americans have a tendency to think it’s all about us.
Some days, it is.
 

Voter Guide for Catholics

Updated post from earlier last month, updated and edited, because there sure was a lot of stuff that happened in the last month. As you read this, keep in mind I wrote it when the “polls” showed Hillary with a ten point lead. You can read the old version HERE.
Way back when, Trump got into this race to do nothing more than dish out some “straight talk” to strengthen his personal brand (h/t Barnhardt) and then drop out once the going got tough. We all know what happened instead.  A great swath of the electorate sees that the country is utterly broken, and it turns out they are willing to take a chance on ANYONE who they think can fix it. The GOP panicked and almost destroyed itself. The traitorous RINOs decided they would rather have Hillary, because she is less of a threat to them. It will be business as usual. Hillary is IN REALITY more like them than Trump is. Think about that. Cucks like Ryan and McCain are actually WORSE than Hillary, because they cloak themselves in fake virtue and “hurt feelings” while actively trying to destroy the one candidate who has the only chance of beating her.
Also, have you wondered why the MSM is reporting Hillary has a ten point lead in the polls (edit:NOW DOWN TO TWO POINTS BECAUSE THE FRAUDSTER POLLSTERS SEE WHAT’S COMING), yet Trump is drawing tens of thousands to his rallies, with people lining up days ahead of time, yet she can’t fill a small room? Doesn’t seem to make sense, does it? And how many people are ashamed or deeply offended by Trump, and would never appear at a rally or put a sign in their yard, yet are without question voting for him? Don’t you remember the “polls” showed him losing every state  back during the primaries?  Trump is this popular despite both parties and almost the entire media working to defeat him.
Lastly, I can say with ONE HUNDRED PERCENT certainty that there is no such thing as “Make America Great Again.”  You must get your head around this, first and foremost.  America is over. The financial system is utterly unsustainable and its collapse is inevitable, the political system is utterly corrupt and not fixable, and the culture/morality war is over – we lost.  No one is capable of saving it by reversing course, nor even capable of a minor course correction. At best, you might get the thrust reduced from flank speed to full speed, but the iceberg is dead ahead. The only way this ends, whenever it does end, is with total societal collapse and hot war.  Aside: Don’t waste one more day failing to prepare for this eventual reality, physically, mentally, spiritually, materially.
So, if it is all meaningless, then why should we care?  Shouldn’t we just be trying to inform people of the reality on the ground and tell them that participating in this fiasco is nonsensical? Wouldn’t we be better off focusing all of our attention preparing for the aforementioned total collapse?
No. Not if you believe in the eternal life of the soul.
If you believe in the eternal life of the soul, and that every soul has infinite value, then you have a duty to do everything in your power to be a shepherd of souls. Which in this case means doing everything you can to stop Hillary.
I will limit my focus to three important areas where Hillary is clearly more of a threat to souls than Trump: Abortion, National Security, and Conscience.
Hillary will increase abortions, and she will make you pay for them whether you want to or not.  She will almost certainly find a way to personally profit from them. Abortion is always murder, because it involves a human being intentionally killing a totally innocent human being for any reason or no reason at all. This includes partial birth abortions, which she favors HERE, wherein a second or third trimester baby, up to and including on her due date, has her body vaginally extracted up to her neck, scissors jammed in her skull, and her brains either shredded by said scissors or sucked out. Dead baby and a mother irreparably scarred.  That’s what the real War on Women looks like, and you can google video it if you don’t believe me. As this practice increases and the left has ever greater influence on hearts and minds, teaching young girls that there is nothing wrong with this, more souls are at risk.
With regard to National Security, we need to consider both Domestic and Foreign Policy.
Hillary is a monumental threat to the Second Amendment.  If you think that’s a strange place to start the domestic policy discussion, you couldn’t be more wrong. At this point in our history, especially since the Executive overreach of both the Bush and Obama administrations, the Second Amendment is literally our greatest protection against a massive suppression of rights by the federal government. Whether or not you own a gun, this statement remains demonstrably true, and you might want to take a look just in the past hundred years how every out of control central government treats a disarmed citizenry.  It tends not to end well.
Not only this, but her unconstitutional proposals (she really wants total confiscation) come at a time when we have NEVER been under more of a domestic threat of terror. Combine this with her plan to increase migrants/refugees by tens of thousands from countries with known terrorist ties, and absolutely NO WAY to vet them. When they say “Oh no worries, they will be fully vetted”… hello? When you come from a country that has been torn apart and you have zero documentation of who you are or what you’ve done, doesn’t that make vetting impossible? Let’s say we bring in 100,000 muslims, and only one percent have bad intentions. That’s only 1000 terrorists!  It only took 19 on 9/11.
Foreign policy under Clinton will be a continuation of the interventionist Bush/Obama/Hillary doctrine of the past 15 years.  You thought Obama got us out of wars? Um, no.  He and Hillary completely destabilized the situation in places where we had nearly wiped out the threat, plus they intentionally supported the various Spring revolutions which destabilized several other countries, and now we are arming ISIS to fight Assad. Yes, we are.
Which brings me to the point that I hear most often from people who absolutely hate Hillary, but are “scared” of Trump.  “He is so spontaneous, he acts without thinking, he’s going to nuke Russia.” Are you kidding me?  You think Hillary, who is a psychopath, who has been enriched by foreign interests, who has been mired in the shadow of despicable men for 70 years, as the first woman president would be less hawkish, less aggressive, less provocative than Trump?  Well, I may have an old Psychology 101 book around here someplace I could send you. Hillary will be DYING to play My Dick Is Bigger Than Yours within weeks of taking office. The obvious specter of unjust war puts millions of souls at risk.
Now onto the third threat, Conscience. The email leaks make it clear, among other things, that the Left views the Catholic Church as a greater threat than Radical Islam. Let that sink in, and then think about the risk to souls. The Clinton team has created at least two ‘catholic’ organizations which are designed to infiltrate and destroy the Church from the inside. Clinton herself has publicly stated that, “Deep-seated religious beliefs MUST BE CHANGED” (yes, of course there is video of this, go look it up). She will force you to change your beliefs to align with hers, which can only mean that open persecution is on the agenda. If your actions support her winning, you will have helped bring about that persecution, which will destroy souls as people genuflect to the state and turn away from God. The few who do remain faithful will first be fined, then lose their jobs, then charged with a crime, then imprisoned, then murdered. That’s how this works.
Now, those are just the clear and present dangers.  Then we have the long view, wherein Hillary gets to appoint three or four SCOTUS judges who will accelerate the work of the radical activists already on the bench. This won’t be a problem that goes away after four or eight years.  It will be generations.
I don’t want to hear any whining about Trump’s bullshit. He’s a pig, and there is no defending what he said in the 11 year old tape as “locker room talk”. I’ve been in a lot of locker rooms, and boy do I know how to talk dirty, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never joked about being so irresistible that the ladies are lining up and they just love it when I grab them by the pussy. He’s also not very nice, is he? He calls people nasty names, even calls fat girls fat. He made fun of Carly’s face.  He is also a monumental flip flopper, to such an extent that we really have no idea how he would prosecute his agenda except on a very narrow range of issues.  He is an adulterous, twice divorced, twice “remarried”, greedy, amoral, narcissistic pig.
None of this matters. All that matters is that the alternative is the most evil, immoral, corrupt, power hungry narcissistic freedom-crushing psychopath ever to run for president. We are talking Stalinist proportions. And PLEASE don’t think for one second that there are any other alternatives. If you consider any third party or write-in candidate, all you are doing is contributing to a Hillary victory.
Hold your nose if you have to, but get out there and vote.
 

Francis: “I’m with her”

As you can imagine, the SJWs  over at Jesuit America Mag are drooling over this HERE.

“In a speech delivered at the Vatican just three days before the U.S. presidential election, Pope Francis urged social justice activists from around the world not to give into the politics of fear by building walls…“Because fear—as well as being a good deal for the merchants of arms and death—weakens and destabilizes us, destroys our psychological and spiritual defenses, numbs us to the suffering of others.  In the end, it makes us cruel.””

Yep. And please don’t tell me it’s a metaphor, or that this is just a coincidence mere days before the election. He is simply repeating what he had already made clear in remarks on the U.S. trip last year and at the border city stunt afterwards.

“On the issue of migration more generally, Francis devoted several minutes of the speech to condemning “physical and social walls” that “close in some and exclude others.” In February, following a visit to the border, the pope said in response to a question from a journalist that politicians who propose building walls instead of bridges are “not Christian,” leading to objections from the Trump campaign.
The pope said on Saturday that Christians should not give into the temptation to build walls, even in the face of “hateful and cowardly attacks,” a reference to global terrorism. “Dear Brothers and Sisters,” he said, “all walls fall.”
 
Francis said “mercy is the best antidote against fear” and that it “is much more effective than walls, that barbed wire fences, than alarms and arms, and it is free. It is the gift of God.”…Francis also offered some advice on how to fight terrorism and oppression, saying, “the best antidote is love. Love heals everything.””

No, love is not the best antidote to terrorism. You can’t ‘coexist’ with people who will not rest until you are dead. Refusing to take necessary actions to defend your family and your country is what’s sinful, not the other way around.
Francis is deliberately trying to influence this election.  Clearly, he’s with her.
Oh, and then afterwards there was a tornado in Rome.

OF COURSE they’re into Satanic rituals and a whole lot more we still don’t know about

#SpiritCooking
https://twitter.com/SteveSkojec/status/794595470567870464


Skojec has a few thoughts HERE.
Story HERE.
Look, anything that involves the use of menstrual blood, semen, breast milk and urine is virtually a guaranteed lock to be Satanic for real. It’s real. Do some research.
Oh wait, here she is in her own words.  From the Skojec post:

Q:: “What place do you see the occult having within contemporary art; can magick be made (not simply appropriated/ performed)?” Marina Abramovic responded saying:
A: “Everything depends on which context you are doing what you are doing. If you are doing the occult magic in the context of art or in a gallery, then it is the art. If you are doing it in different context, in spiritual circles or private house or on TV shows, it is not art. The intention, the context for what is made, and where it is made defines what art is or not.”

Yep, context does matter.  Like when the priest says the words of consecration at the altar in the context of Holy Mass, something miraculous happens. Should he do so outside the context of Mass, nothing happens. And I didn’t use this example by coincidence.
I would be willing to bet there is a whole lot more.  When you have a group of people who think the law does not apply to them, while at the same time also not believing in any sort of higher moral order, what exactly would stop them from engaging in whatever sort of evil disgusting behavior they wanted? After getting away with shit for 30 years, the gravity of the acts would naturally descend into deeper and deeper depravity as the thrill of the crime, and the thrill of getting away with it, waned with each successive act.
Crimes of a deviant sexual nature are almost certainly part of this as well. Almost certainly. Money can buy you access to whatever you want. Charlie Sheen is an instructive case. His descent reached a point where he had committed every deviant act possible with every girl possible and the girls themselves became unexciting to him, to the point where he had to start banging dudes with breast implants.  Yeah.
My gut tells me whatever is on the Weiner laptop is more deplorable (ha!) than we can possibly imagine, and we already know it involves the Clintons. There is no way, NO WAY, Comey reopens this case unless he personally viewed evidence that was incontrovertible.  It’s also likely he had no choice anyway, because said evidence was about to be leaked either by his own agents or NYPD. I’m sure there are plenty of emails containing state secrets, probably proof of gross financial wrongdoing through the foundation, etc.  However, none of it could be seen as incontrovertible at face value unless PICTURES.
Sort of a Weiner specialty, right?
Hang on tight, folks.  Pray a lot.

Five nuggets of nonsense from the FrancisLuther “celebration” 31 Oct 2016

Wherein Francis once again embraces “bondage of the will” AKA total depravity and ignores the fact that Luther had to destroy Scripture in order to justify his theology.  It’s sort of a big deal.
Nugget number one:

“With gratitude we acknowledge that the Reformation helped give greater centrality to sacred Scripture in the Church’s life.”

How so, exactly? Was it when Luther took the Scripture he didn’t like and ripped it right out of the bible?  Whole books of Scripture? Or was it when he was adding to or amending verses to change their meaning? Should he have been allowed to tear up the Epistle of St. James, too? He really hated that one, because anything pointing to the fact they we are CULPABLE for our actions contradicts his twisted theology. Francis is also perpetuating the myth that the Church was hiding the bible from the common people for centuries.
Second nugget:

“Through shared hearing of the word of God in the Scriptures, important steps forward have been taken in the dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Lutheran World Federation.”

How so, exactly? We don’t even have the same bible. Theirs is missing the parts that underlie important aspects of Catholic theology (aka TRUTH). Wouldn’t it be a pretty “important step” for them to acknowledge this? As in, “Our founder was so utterly filled with Pride that he dared to desecrate Scripture. This was wrong. We apologize.”
Third nugget:

“Let us ask the Lord that his word may keep us united, for it is a source of nourishment and life; without its inspiration we can do nothing.”

We are NOT united; by their own choice, they remain separated from us. To say we are united is a lie.
Fourth nugget:

“The spiritual experience of Martin Luther challenges us to remember that apart from God we can do nothing…the question of a just relationship with God is the decisive question for our lives.”

Okay, well let’s just focus on Psalm 118 (119), which even the Lutherans have in their bible. Remember, the Lutherans believe we are all ultimately incapable of good works, which first and foremost among good works means obeying the Commandments. Here are the first ten verses of Psalm 118(119):
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart. For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways. Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently. O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications. Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice. I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me.  By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words. With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments.
That’s just the first ten verses.  There are 166 more.
Finally, the fifth nugget:

“With the concept “by grace alone”, (Luther) reminds us that God always takes the initiative, prior to any human response, even as he seeks to awaken that response. The doctrine of justification thus expresses the essence of human existence before God.”

Luther’s doctrine of justification DOES NOT express “the essence of human existence before God.” Hear him in his own words:

Martin Luther – “A person that is baptized cannot, thou he would, lose his salvation by any sins however grievous, unless he refuses to believe. For no sins can damn him but unbelief alone.”, from “The Babylonian Captivity”
“Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides… No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day.”, from Dr. Martin Luther’s Saemmtliche Schriften, Letter No. 99, 1 Aug. 1521.
“Do not ask anything of your conscience; and if it speaks, do not listen to it; if it insists, stifle it, amuse yourself; if necessary, commit some good big sin, in order to drive it away. Conscience is the voice of Satan, and it is necessary always to do just the contrary of what Satan wishes.”, from J. Dollinger, La Reforme et les resultants qu’elle a produits. (Trans. E. Perrot, Paris, Gaume, 1848-49), Vol III, pg. 248

These are lies.  Do not unite yourself to them.
All of this nonsense was refuted at Trent. All the documents are available online.

Apparently my suggestion for today’s Lutheran homily was rejected

I will post shortly on what Francis actually did say, which makes clear he cares nothing for the souls of millions who are walking around with a completely erroneous notion of Justification, which will certainly lead the vast majority of them to Hell. Because when you think God doesn’t even expect you to TRY to obey the Commandments, why would you?
But but but that’s how their poor consciences were formed! How can they be to blame for that? I thought one of the conditions for Mortal Sin was Full Knowledge? These poor Lutherans know not what they do!
EXACTLY. That’s why they need to be faced with the Truth, if you really believe in the Truth. And as I’ve said before, in the age of smartphones when everyone has the sum of all knowledge in the palm of their hands, you really should not plan on pleading Invincible Ignorance at your Particular Judgement. Not a good strategy. While they are at it, maybe they should read up a little on the founder of their false religion.
Anyway, direct rebuttal of the Francis homily tomorrow. For now, here is a partial reposting of my suggestion; a snippet of Truth from 88 years ago, an excerpt from Pius XI, who obviously DID care for souls:

“…The union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it. To the one true Church of Christ, we say, which is visible to all, and which is to remain, according to the will of its Author, exactly the same as He instituted it. During the lapse of centuries, the mystical Spouse of Christ has never been contaminated, nor can she ever in the future be contaminated… For since the mystical body of Christ, in the same manner as His physical body, is one, compacted and fitly joined together, it were foolish and out of place to say that the mystical body is made up of members which are disunited and scattered abroad: whosoever therefore is not united with the body is no member of it, neither is he in communion with Christ its head.

Let them therefore return to their common Father, who, forgetting the insults previously heaped on the Apostolic See, will receive them in the most loving fashion. For if, as they continually state, they long to be united with Us and ours, why do they not hasten to enter the Church, “the Mother and mistress of all Christ’s faithful”? Let them hear Lactantius crying out: “The Catholic Church is alone in keeping the true worship. This is the fount of truth, this the house of Faith, this the temple of God: if any man enter not here, or if any man go forth from it, he is a stranger to the hope of life and salvation. Let none delude himself with obstinate wrangling. For life and salvation are here concerned, which will be lost and entirely destroyed, unless their interests are carefully and assiduously kept in mind.”

Let, therefore, the separated children draw nigh to the Apostolic See, set up in the City which Peter and Paul, the Princes of the Apostles, consecrated by their blood; to that See, We repeat, which is “the root and womb whence the Church of God springs,” not with the intention and the hope that “the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” will cast aside the integrity of the faith and tolerate their errors, but, on the contrary, that they themselves submit to its teaching and government…”

from Pius XI, MORTALIUM ANIMOS, 6 Jan 1928

The Pace of Events: Signs, signs, everywhere are signs

11 Feb 2013, Lightning strikes St. Peter’s for the first time in recorded history, on the day of Benedict’s resignation, the 155th anniversary of Our Lady of Lourdes.
7 Oct 2016, Lightning strikes St. Peter’s for the second time in recorded history, on the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, the 445th anniversary of Our Lady of Victory, commemorating the dual miracle of Lepanto, the greatest naval battle in the history of mankind, and the vision of victory granted to Pope St. Pius V.
Francis went on later that day to address the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, founded by St. Eugène de Mazenod in the wake of the French Revolution. He could have talked about Mary, Lepanto, the menace of Islam, the horrors of the revolution.  Yeah right.

“May mercy always be the heart of your mission, of your evangelising effort in today’s world. On the day of the canonisation of Fr. de Mazenod, St. John Paul II defined him as a ‘man of Advent’, docile to the Holy Spirit in reading the signs of the times and following the work of God in the history of the Church…May you too be ‘men of Advent’, able to grasp the signs of new times and to guide brothers on the ways that God opens in the Church and in the world.  The Church is living, along with the world as a whole, in an age of great transformations…She needs men who carry in their heart…unconditional love for the Church, who increasingly endeavours to be an open house. It is important to work for a Church that is for all, ready to welcome and to accompany!”

Oh, I’m paying attention to the signs alright.
13 Oct 2016, the 99th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun – the greatest physical manifestation by the Creator of the Universe since the Incarnation – Francis hosted a thousand Lutheran pilgrims at the Vatican. They brought in a statue of Luther to “accompany” Francis in his remarks. Of course this made it impossible for him to talk about Mary, or Fatima, or Sister Lucia. So he said this:

“Let us give thanks to God, because today, as Lutherans and Catholics, we are journeying together on the way from conflict to communion.”

This statement is demonstrably false, unless I missed something about the Lutherans denouncing their heresies. But of course we are talking here about a false unity where we pretend there aren’t any differences, and both sides are somehow “right”. It would be a whole new religion called Church of Nice, where everything is allowed except intellectual honesty.
pope-luther


“False unity trumps Truth” is Canon #1 of the Church of Nice.
30 Oct 2016, Feast of Christ the King in the traditional calendar, the latest in a series of earthquakes destroys the 14th century basilica at Norcia, birthplace of St. Benedict and an epicenter of traditional Catholicism. Damage is spread all the way to Rome, a hundred miles away, including a crack above the main arch of St. Paul Outside the Walls, built in the 4th century by Constantine. This is the place with the mosaic portraits of all the popes.
st-paul-crack
At the Angelus today, Francis prayed for the victims, then said this:

“Over the next two days I will be making an Apostolic Journey to Sweden, on the occasion of the commemoration of the Reformation, which will see Catholics and Lutherans gathered together in remembrance and prayer. I ask you all to pray that this trip is a new stage in fraternal path toward full communion.”

Tomorrow is the start of a year-long “celebration” of the 500th anniversary of Luther’s riving of Christianity.  Francis will address a gathering of false ecumenists and heretics in Lund. In case you don’t know, 31 October 1517 is the date celebrated by protestants as the birthday of the “reformation”, because it’s the date that Luther sent his 95 Theses to his superior, the Archbishop of Mainz.
Everywhere are signs.  So yeah, you might want to stay frosty.

Francis moves against Cardinal Sarah to destroy the CDW? OF COURSE HE DID.

I wrote about the whole Cardinal Sarah ad orientem blow up back in July, explaining the reasons, the importance, the diabolical nature of the attacks against it, and how the whole affair was merely a prelude to a future showdown. These are things you must understand if you want to make sense of current events. Here is a sample:

The dethroning of God and the deification of man.
I’ve been meaning to write for some time about the root cause of all the madness – the inversion of the First Commandment (title of this post).  Note well, not the expungement of the commandment, but rather its diabolical inversion at the command of the satanically influenced secular world to worship self as if we were god.  The root goes wayyyy back, more than 500 years, and we won’t trace all that in this post.  Let’s just focus on the current phase of the collapse, which is the entirety of the Second Vatican Council – all of it – but especially its attack on the Mass.
Which brings us to the current event of Cardinal Sarah’s appeal for ad orientem, and the ensuing admonishment from his boss. Let’s get one thing clear right off the bat.  This is not a trivial event. On the contrary, it is most revealing, both in the subject matter and in the way it played out.  Don’t let anyone tell you this is about style, preferences, fashion, etc.  Don’t let anyone tell you this is just rearranging deck chairs.  I mean, of COURSE it’s rearranging deck chairs, but that doesn’t mean we should shrug our shoulders and waste the teachable moment.
This is about the most diabolical change in the Mass of Paul IV… and that’s really saying something, because there sure is a lot to choose from.  It doesn’t matter that the change wasn’t mandated, and it doesn’t matter that the rubrics suggest the change wasn’t made at all.  The only thing that matters is that the priest standing at table facing the people was the end result, almost instantaneously in all the churches of the world.  Paul VI himself was doing it in Rome before the missal was even promulgated.  No time for citations… go look it up.
The change to versus populum flattened the liturgy, led us to focus on the priest and on ourselves instead of God, supported all the SJW nonsense by making it about “the community”.  There are a hundred books written about this. It’s so obvious, that even with no knowledge of history, if someone sees ad orientem for the first time, and you explain that we are all facing God and worshipping him together, and this person has at least a shred of Sensus Catholicus, THEY INSTANTLY GET IT, and wonder how it had never occurred to them before.
So yes, what I’m saying is that this is the actual most destructive thing about the N.O.
Not communion in the hand, though also an abomination.
Not EMHCs, though also an abomination.
Not altarboy girls, though also an abomination.
Not the awful music, though also an abomination.
Not 27 “Eucharistic Prayers”, though also an abomination.
Not the butchered Offetory, though also an abomination.
Not the loss of Latin, although lamentable, especially the near loss of chant.
Not the removal of tabernacles, although a corollary to versus populum.
No.  None of these has had a more devastating effect than versus populum.  None of these has contributed more to the dethroning of God and the deification of man.  And it’s exactly as the marxist masonic modernist infiltrators wanted.

Much more to come on this, trust me.
