The Decollation of the Forerunner

Can anyone help me think of a good example to help the red-wearing Cardinals to understand the proper response to someone in power (or seemingly in power), an antipope, and possibly the False Prophet Forerunner of the Antichrist, who chooses to abuse the moral law; specifically, the moral laws regarding marriage, divorce, “remarriage,” etc?
It’d be great if there were something biblical. Some example where a man was willing to be jailed, and ultimately murdered, for standing up to the immorality.
It would also be great if there were something strikingly visual about it. Something that could be framed and hung in the chancery or the halls of the rectory.
Can anyone think of anything?
Here, let me start:

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Panic mode: CINO bloggers are getting nervous… turn up the heat!

Mike Lewis, who I don’t see much because he blocked me, is trying to bring his A-game. It boggles the mind that these lib ‘c’atholics see no irony in calling for iron fist loyalty to a heretic antipope, after they spent decades lauding the ethics and efficacy of full frontal DISSENT. Yeah. Go ahead and click over to wherepeteris.com and sample the dreck from he and others over there. This is a good example of why it’s good to get out of your bubble and see how the other half thinks… or doesn’t think.

Well, as Ann stated so adroitly on a recent podcast, to which I wholeheartedly agreed, “BRING IT ON.” Go ahead and listen to the simple four minute instruction from 22:00 to 26:00:

Are these people incapable of following a simple rational argument? Should BiP folks be concerned about excommunication from an antipope or the antichurch? Should it be worrisome to reject a “pope” who spews heresy on a daily basis and preaches that all religions are willed by God, this “god of surprises?” I mean, maybe someone needs to be forced to write Hebrews 13:8 on a blackboard 10,000 times.
Do these people seriously think that the threat of canonical penalties is going to cause some sort of moral crisis in someone who adheres whole and entire to the Catholic faith as handed down for 2000 years, and who also happen to believe that Pope Benedict is the only true living pope, and has been since April 2005? Don’t they understand that a fake pope has ZERO jurisdiction and ZERO legitimate authority?
I thought these CINOs held Primacy of Conscience as the core dogma of the Church…. Silly me.

“All these years, I thought being in communion with the successor of Peter was a significant mark of Roman Catholicism.”

Finally! I am in total agreement with Michael Sean Winters of Fishwrap fame, and I’m tickled! Well, not exactly, but more in the way that a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Being in communion with the successor of Peter is indeed a big deal. It is for this reason that those voicing the harshest criticisms of Bergoglio, while also pledging “loyalty” to him as true pope, have a very big problem on their hands. You CANNOT disobey the teaching authority of a true pope and still remain Catholic. Because Christ told us, promised us, that the office of the papacy would be supernaturally protected from error, forever.
I’m enjoying Sunday family time, so that’s all I’ve got. The full MSW article is HERE. It’s worth a read, because it proves the other side is beginning to panic. It’s a good thing.

Even Demons Know The Chastisement’s Close

 – by LH 
 
In the 1970s, our team—Team Catholic—managed to corner, trap, and interrogate a handful of our most wicked enemies. It would’ve been impossible without the authority of God, but thankfully we Catholics are the True Church and not some schismatic sect. And so, two of our hero-priests held a tidy little inquisition for a sum total of six demons. As Timothy Gordon recently put it, these “red-pilled demons” were chock full of insider information on what our adversaries were up to over 45 years ago. The level of “insider baseball” they revealed was startling—especially considering what we now know about the Catholic Church’s problems. And furthermore, we can know with certainty that our enemies were telling us the truth because the authority of God forced them to. They had no choice. Priests have authority over demons. And thus, we tightened the screws against our adversaries and caught a glimpse of what the other team was up to.
One of the most intriguing pieces of information was that the demons know The Chastisement is close. Only, they have their own lingo for it; they call it The Tribunal. Specifically, they said the following (back then in the mid 70s):

  • If Fatima is not fulfilled, there will come a new Tribunal
  • Something ushers in The Tribunal that “will be worse than the last two times.” [A third world war, from the sound of it.]
  • It won’t be long, now, until The Tribunal
  • Until that time arrives, the demons will work to confuse humanity so much “that they will no longer know what’s up from what’s down.”

This piece of information taken off our enemies is quite valuable. As things stand, we already know that the saints in Heaven and the people on Earth sense this Chastisement. We do not know the hour, day, or the season—but we can all feel it as though it’s a quickening, and we know it’s close. But now we can be certain that even the demons in Hell realize that The Chastisement is about to happen. The implications of this are astounding. It means that people in all realms—and on every side of the wall of Death—are aware that God is about to make His move. We all know it to one degree or another. God is keeping the timing to Himself, but we all feel it like a labor pain.
What incredible intel we’ve snatched from the enemy’s camp! But this report from the field is bittersweet, as the information was wrested from demons possessing young Anneliese Michelle, who later died from malnutrition and dehydration, such was the pitiable condition the demonic possession put her in. That said, Anneliese herself requested that the entire world know what these demons have said. She knew that there was much at stake, that her suffering would win over souls to God’s cause, and that many would be converted through her suffering.
In fact, it seems that God Himself knew what good would come from the possession of Anneliese Michelle , as the demons themselves testify:

–Demon: “We are damned eternally! Out! Out! We wish to come out of the snotnose. We cannot bear staying in her any longer. That filthy slut stays the whole day in the church. We are damned! Damned!”
-Exorcist: “Then come out!”
– Demon named Judas: “We cannot, because He does not allow it. The one up there, that one does not want it! He wants us to remain. We want to get out from her, who goes to Communion, and she goes every day! We cannot bear this! We wish to come out, out, out!…We wish to come out, but the one up there does not allow us!”

Thus, we can see that there was a higher purpose in permitting the demons to oppress Anneliese. And, indeed, she even knew that she would die. And now, years later, we can see that she was a victim soul who died that so the world would see what Hell was and what the demons were trying to do—that others would be saved. The demons stated during the exorcism sessions that they wanted her to be in a mental institution where priests had no access to her and she would be out of the public eye. But as we can all see, her story broke out to the world, and now we know what the other team has been up to.
There are many other things the demons revealed in their possession of Anneliese Michele. They revealed their evil gladness about post-Vatican II reforms, Communion in the hand, priests facing the people on the other side of the altar, priests not dressing as priests, and pandering to Protestants. All of this can be read from this transcript of the exorcism tapes.
It is good to know what the opposition has been doing. But battlefield intel is no good if it’s not used, and time grows short. If you are not in the Catholic Church, get baptized and confirmed without delay, and worship God in the fullest, most Catholic manner you possibly can. Shed your sins, confess them, repent, and prepare. There’s rough waters ahead.

A prayer on the Feast of the Assumption

Prepare yourself, for this short prayer prompts deep reflection on one’s own faults. These faults impact not only your interior life — the state of your soul — but they also affect everyone around you; family, friends, colleagues. You know it’s true.
Put your faith into our Lord Jesus Christ, for all things are possible with God. And put your hope into the intercession, the maternal care, of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Your Mother loves you.
Our Lady Undoer of Knots, pray for us.
Blessed Feast to everyone!

The Healing Power of Scorn

As we descend further and further into the madness, keep one thing front and center in your mind: The denial of reality, and the building up of an anti-reality, is not a problem whatsoever with the purveyors of perversion. There is no rational disconnect for them, and so rational arguments are never going to work. The anti-reality they are striving to create —  the ontological fact that it is literally Not Real — is a feature, not a bug.
Whether they are denying that every human being has the right to life (even though their scientism idol shows them that a new human with unique DNA is created at the moment of conception), giving out “free” stuff as if the government actually has any money of its own (tuition, healthcare, debt forgiveness, cell phones, ‘universal basic income’), promoting Love = Love even when sodomy is antithetical to the nuclear family’s central procreative role in civilization, and now, inevitably, TRANS RIGHTS!
See the theme that runs through all of it? Anti. Reality.
Why is anti-reality the core theme? Because Satan has zero creative power, and he can’t stand it. So what he tries to do is build up an anti-reality by corrupting man to such a degree that he willfully abandons his rational intellect. All this is happening right in front of us, at the same time as the rise of the anti-church, with the likely false prophet fore-runner of the Antichrist currently leading it, falsely from the seat of Peter.
Move right along, nothing to see here, folks.
John Zmirak published a piece the other day at Stream that was both wide-ranging and yet brief and to the point. Please read it all HERE. I excerpt some of it here, interspersed with a few recent tweets of interest. The central theme he explores is the viability of employing good old Christian scorn in the battle for truth against the anti-reality, for which my position is… rather clear.

Is it okay to laugh as “Jessica” Yaniv gets raided by the police? That’s the assumed name of a creepy Canadian man who pretends that he’s a woman, marches into women’s salons, and demands that the female workers wax his fully male genitalia. Then he files criminal “human rights” complaints against the salons when they refuse him.

This man (yes, he’s a man, and it’s not yet illegal in America to say so) enjoys harassing small business owners. No doubt he was inspired by LGBT activists persecuting Christians in America for refusing to play along with the farce of same-sex “marriage.”
To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, it would take a man with a heart of stone not to read of these things and … laugh. What else should we do when ordinary, even handsome men turn themselves into ghastly parodies of women? And all in service of a perversion?

Yes, sin is sad, and evil grieves the heart of God. But it’s also often ridiculous, and in The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis cited St. Thomas More’s biting quote about Satan. “The devil … that proud spirit … cannot endure to be mocked.” And here what we’re mocking is clearly the devil’s work.
We need the courage to say that. Maybe forty years ago, when “gender identity disorder” was still correctly classified as a mental illness, and its victims subject to scorn? The Christian thing to do would have been different. Maybe keep silent, or emphasize how all of us are broken by sin. But now things are different. Now it takes nerves of steel bordering on recklessness to point out that maybe, just maybe, this whole transgender ideology is false. That it’s victimizing kids who might well be autistic. And permanently sterilizing girls having Lesbian “phases.” Grooming or traumatizing little kids by squeezing them between fake boobs at “drag queen story hours.” Destroying women’s sports. But worst of all, drumming into our heads a Gnostic lie from the pit of hell.

Did you hear about the explosion of Leftist rage last week against Mario Lopez, of Saved by the Bell fame, for his deeply hurtful hateful bigoted crusade against trans kids and their parents? Feel free to check out this compendium of backlash HERE (caution, HuffPo link).

Here is exactly what Mario said:

“Look, I’m never one to tell anyone how to parent their kids obviously and I think if you come from a place of love, you really can’t go wrong,” the father of three said in the interview. “At the same time, my God, if you’re 3 years old and you’re saying you’re feeling a certain way or you think you’re a boy or a girl or whatever the case may be … I just think it’s dangerous as a parent to make this determination then. When you’re a kid, you don’t know anything about sexuality yet. You’re just a kid.”

 

So we are now to the point where your career is in jeopardy if you dare suggest that it might be dangerous to push gender ideology on toddlers. To dare say that three year olds — THREE YEAR OLDS — shouldn’t be encouraged to discern their sexuality with their parents. And yes, if you click the HuffPo link and look at some of the tweets, especially from GLAAD, they want parents to be proactively seeking this dialogue. Which is straight up child abuse, by the way. It’s almost as if their endgame is the sexualization of children…COUGH.
It won’t be just the rich and famous. They will eventually come after all of us, and it’s coming fast. De-platforming is taking on a life of its own, and blogs like this one could be disappeared within months. Would not surprise me at all.


Which can only logically lead to this:

Need I mention yet again how much worse this is going to get? If you don’t believe me, go ahead and click on that last tweet and read his whole thread. (Sorry, “Diana,” I didn’t mis-pronoun you, you’re a guy.)
