Today is the Feast of Pope St. Pius X, who took on the Modernists at a time when they had already begun their infiltration of the Church. Modernism, the synthesis of all errors, must be rightly understood before it can be fought. Helpfully, Pope Sarto laid it all out for us on 8 September 1907 in PASCENDI DOMINICI GREGIS. Folks, this encyclical was absolutely key to my own red pilling on what has happened in the Church and in the world. When I first read it, twenty years ago, it was like scales falling from my eyes.
You must read the whole thing, so the link is provided below. But here is part of his setup, from the second paragraph. Now, you are going to think to yourself, “Man, this sounds like it could have been written yesterday.” So remember, it was already this bad in 1907:
“The partisans of error are to be sought not only among the Church’s open enemies; they lie hid, a thing to be deeply deplored and feared, in her very bosom and heart, and are the more mischievous, the less conspicuously they appear. We allude, Venerable Brethren, to many who belong to the Catholic laity, nay, and this is far more lamentable, to the ranks of the priesthood itself, who, feigning a love for the Church, lacking the firm protection of philosophy and theology, nay more, thoroughly imbued with the poisonous doctrines taught by the enemies of the Church, and lost to all sense of modesty, vaunt themselves as reformers of the Church; and, forming more boldly into line of attack, assail all that is most sacred in the work of Christ, not sparing even the person of the Divine Redeemer, whom, with sacrilegious daring, they reduce to a simple, mere man.”
“We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. We see ourselves as part of the global Black family, and we are aware of the different ways we are impacted or privileged as Black people who exist in different parts of the world. We are guided by the fact that all Black lives matter, regardless of actual or perceived sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, economic status, ability, disability, religious beliefs or disbeliefs, immigration status, or location. We make space for transgender brothers and sisters to participate and lead. We are self-reflexive and do the work required to dismantle cisgender privilege and uplift Black trans folk, especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence.We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered. We engage comrades with the intent to learn about and connect with their contexts. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work. We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).”
These aren’t off the cuff remarks. This isn’t an interview where he has to think on his feet. This is scripted, with Teleprompter. Come on, man. Video:
"COVID has taken this year, just sinthe outbreak, has taken more than 100 year—look, here's, the lives, it's just, it's, er, I mean, y'think about it. More lives this year than any other year for the past hundred years." —@JoeBidenpic.twitter.com/jwGaJqlIaw
They are laughing at you. They all know it’s all a scam. They don’t care about the millions unemployed and the businesses that will never recover, the drug overdoses, the suicides. It’s just a game for them. Orange Man Bad.
The mayor’s office defended the photo, releasing a statement that blamed Trump:
“Throughout the pandemic the Mayor has consistently deferred to the guidance of the Health Commissioner, who in this case felt strongly about waiting until Sept. 8 to resume indoor dining. If elected officials at the federal level had similarly deferred to health experts over the past five months, this might not even be an issue by now.“
Orange Man Bad. Let them eat cake. But not indoors.
For the record, no one is sick from corona in Philly. They have new cases, and are testing like mad. But no one is actually sick. Even by their own faked up counting methods, fewer than 40 hospitalizations per day, SINCE LATE MAY. Around ten per day in August:
Is it safe to assume that the majority of people understand this yet?
Check out that headline. Not 1936, not 1957, not 1964. Welcome to 2020, where the irony is completely lost on the agitators.
Vernon Jones is a Democrat state representative in Georgia. In April, he announced he was endorsing Trump. He was invited to speak at the RNC, which he did last Monday. On Thursday, after the convention concluded (with what was probably the most widely witnessed Ave Maria in the history of the world), Jones was walking back to his hotel, when this happened:

Here is a different angle that shows the concluding confrontation at the hotel lobby:
In total, six minutes worth of video that should be enough to convince anyone that this is not going to end well. This is not about skin color, “equality,” or anything like that. It’s about wrongthink. They want you dead.
Pray and prep. Spiritual readiness, material readiness. Get moving.
Topics covered: Evolution of CDC as warmonger of “public health,” Big Pharma as quasi-governmental strike force, suspension of rule of law re vax liability and testing, real-time psychological warfare strategies rooted in Nazi Germany, weaponized fear as the primary vector of tyranny, fearful sheep not only as willing participants but as invading hoard of active combatants (esp. where children are concerned), Gates of Hell, Big Data spying techniques and technology, your phone (and so, Big Data) sees and hears everything you see and hear, Alexa/Siri, tracking/tracing/GPS, enforcement of digitized monetary system, seizing of accounts/assets/real property for non-compliance…
So yeah, it’s totally worth 18 minutes. By the way, if your long guns are exclusively chambered in 5.56, have you looked around for ammo lately? If you can find any in-stock, how do you like those prices? You might want to consider adding some 7.62/.308 options.
INTROIT Ps. 118:46-47 I spoke of Your testimonies before kings, and I was not ashamed; I meditated on Your commandments, which I loved dearly. Ps. 91:2. It is good to praise the Lord, and to sing to Your name, O Most High!
St. John the Baptist is quite a model for us. The Forerunner of Christ has two feasts, the primary being his nativity (24 June), and that of his beheading (today). At his nativity, or rather at the Visitation, God granted John the grace of gestational Baptism, so that he was born without the stain of original sin. At his beheading, John reciprocated this gift with his sacrificial witness to Truth. The reason for his beheading was his intransigence on the commandments, which he loved dearly, because he loved our Lord.
The subject matter in this case was the sanctity of marriage.
“And it hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.” Matt 5:31-32
“And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female? And he said: For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away? He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.” Matt 19:3-9
“And the Pharisees coming to him asked him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you? Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away. To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you that precept. But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife. And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing. And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.” Mark 10:2-12
“The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall. Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.” Luke 16:16-18
At that time, Herod himself had sentand apprehended John, and bound him prison for the sake of Herodias thewife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. For John saidto Herod: “It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.” NowHerodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death andcould not. For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man:and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard himwillingly. And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper forhis birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee. And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: “Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.” And he swore to her: “Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.” Who when she was gone out,said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” But her mother said: “The headof John the Baptist.” And when she was come in immediately with hasteto the king, she asked, saying: “I will that forthwith thou give me in adish, the head of John the Baptist.” And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her: But sending an executioner, he commandedthat his head should be brought in a dish. And he beheaded him in theprison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave to the damsel, and thedamsel gave it her mother. Which his disciples hearing came, and tookhis body, and laid it in a tomb. Mark 6:17-29
This episode began as maybe being a kind of “infomercial” for Dr. Mazza’s upcoming online courses, and turned into – no joke – one of our best Podcasts ever. A rip-roaring conversation, all rooted in St. Au-GUS-tine, not Saint Augus-TINE. The truth ain’t no city in Flahrda, y’all. Don’t miss this one.

I’m not naive about the things that will befall us in the next two months, nor should you be. You also need to be preparing for the Hell that awaits in Nov-Dec, as the election remains contested for months and chaos reigns. The situation is a runaway train, destination 1789.
But whatever else may happen, this happened last night, and I’m entering it into the record:
