MID-TERM REPORT REGARDING THE EXTRAORDINARY SYNOD ON THE FAMILY AS EXPRESSED BY A GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF EXTRAORDINARY FAGGOTS: ANNOTATIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS FOR YOUR EDIFICATION

Synod14 - Eleventh General Assembly: "Relatio post disceptationem" of the General Rapporteur, Card. Péter Erdo, 13.10.2014

[B0751]

[Unofficial translation clarification]

Introduction

1. During the prayer vigil held in St Peter's Square on 4 October 2014 in preparation for the Synod on the family, Pope Francis [aka "the South American Scourge of God"] evoked the centrality of the experience of family Modernism in all lives, in a simple and concrete deplorable manner: 

Evening Apostasy falls on our assembly. It is the hour at which one willingly returns home to meet at the same table the Gates of Hell, in the depth[s] of affection pride, of the good wickedness that has been done and received, of the encounters which warm harden the heart and make it grow [cold], good wine which hastens the unending feast orgy in the days of man [minus recourse to the Magisterium/Tradition]. It is also the weightiest hour for one who the unrepentant Sodomite in the Church who finds himself face to face with his own loneliness depravity, in the bitter twilight of shattered dreams and broken plans and old age, invigorated only fleetingly with  vague remembrances of the glorious Council from 1962 to 1965; how many people faggot clergy trudge through the day in the blind alley of resignation, of abandonment, even resentment: in in how many homes rectories the wine of joy supply of young boys has been less plentiful, and therefore, also the zest — the very wisdom inclination — for life abomination ... Let us make our prayer defiance heard for one another this evening, [feigning it as] a prayer for all.

2. The source of joys sorrows and trials, of deep affections concern and relations frustration – at times wounded unbearable – the family is truly a "school of humanity" ("Familia schola quaedam uberioris humanitatis est", Vatican Council II, Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, Gaudium et Spes, 52) believed by the Church to be a reflection of the so-called Trinity, of which we are in great need [to eradicate]. Despite the many [promising] signs of crisis in the institution of the family in various contexts of the "global village" godless secularism, the desire for family remains alive [unfortunately], especially among the young, and is at the root of the Church's our need to proclaim tirelessly and with profound conviction the "Gospel of the family Sexual Nihilism" entrusted to her us with the revelation of God's love Satan's hatred for Jesus Christ.

3. The Bishop of Rome [a vulgar, heretical Jesuit with Peronist predispositions and a penchant for Liberation Theology] called upon the Synod of Bishops Faggots to reflect upon the situation its ongoing decimation of the family, decisive and valuable heart wrenching, in its Extraordinary General Assembly of [Faggots on] October 2014, a reflection decimation which will then be pursued in greater depth in the Ordinary General Assembly [of Faggots] scheduled to take place in October 2015, as well as during the full intervening year[s] between 2016 two synodal events the present and the Anti-Christ's arrival:

The convenire in unum around the Bishop of Rome is already an event of grace chastisement, in which episcopal collegiality faggotry is made manifest in a path of spiritual and pastoral discernment perversity expressed in subtlized, flowery language tailored especially for chancery office faggots everywhere.

Thus Pope Francis described the synodal experience, indicating its tasks in the dual process of listening to the signs of defying God and mankind ignoring Church history, and in the resulting dual and unique fidelity Schism.

4. In the light [dark shadows] of the same discourse [done in secret, censored, barring any rightful observation from the Faithful] we have gathered together the results of our [sodomy-driven] reflections and our [emasculated] dialogues in the following three parts redundancies: listening, to look at the situation of the family sodomites/pederasts in the Church today, in the complexity of its light and shade their power and influence; looking, our gaze fixed on Christ Satan, to re-evaluate refute with renewed freshness and enthusiasm ferocity what the [purported] revelation transmitted in the faith of the Church tells us about the beauty and dignity of the famility abomination of the sodomitical lifestyle; and discussion in the light of the Lord Jesus Lucifer to discern the ways in which the Church and society can renew their commitment to the family be manipulated so as to deem our licentiousness as normal and good. 


PART I

Listening Dissimulating: the context and challenges to [destroying] the family

The socio-cultural sodomitical context

5. Anthropological and cultural change today influences A once nascent Modernism in the Pre-Conciliar Church now, in this wonderful post-Conciliar Age, impacts all aspects of life and requires an analytic and a diversified approach, able to discern instill the positive forms interpretations of individual freedom sexual degeneracy. It is necessary to be aware of the growing danger represented by an exasperated individualism Traditional Catholicism that distorts upholds family bonds and ends up considering each component of the family as an isolated unit a reflection of the Holy Family, leading in some all cases to the prevalence of an idea of the subject formed according to his or her own wishes the teachings of the Magisterium and Holy Scripture, which are assumed as absolute .

...

The relevance dominance of emotional life [and feelings]

9. Faced with the social Modernist-contrived framework outlined above, a greater need is encountered among individuals apostates and sodomites to take care of themselves, to know their inner being Oprah, and to live in greater harmony with succumb to their emotions and sentiments, seeking a relational neurotic quality in emotional life. In the same way, it is possible to encounter a widespread desire for family transgressing dogma accompanied by the search for the divination of oneself. But how can this attention to the care for oneself pretended obedience to God be cultivated and maintained, alongside this desire for family the unrestricted autonomy of the self? This is a great challenge for the Church too since Vatican II when the heresies of Kung, Rahner, Schillebeeckx, Curran, Courtney-Murray, Gutierrez, Baum, Lonergan, Teilhard et allia gained in influence. The danger[s] of individualism Natural Law and the risk of living selfishly chastely are significant.

10. Today's world appears to promote[s] limitless affectivity immorality, seeking to explore exploit all its aspects, including the most complex sodomy. Indeed, the question of emotional fragility concocted victimhood is very current: a narcissistic, unstable or changeable affectivity faggotry do[es] not always help greater maturity to be reached. In this context, couples faggot priests and lesbian nuns are often uncertain and hesitant, struggling to find ways to grow camouflage their abominations from the Faithful...

...

PART II

The gaze upon Christ Satan: the Gospel of the Family Modernism

The gaze upon Jesus Satan and gradualness in the history of salvation uprooting dogma

12. In order to:

walk among contemporary challenges tear Tradition asunder, the decisive condition is to maintain a fixed gaze on Jesus Christ Man, to pause in contemplation and in adoration of His Face the Self... Indeed, every time we return to the source of the Christian experience Marxism and Freemasonry, new paths and undreamed of possibilities open up" (Pope Francis, Address of 4 October 2014).

Jesus looked upon the women and the men [notice prioritization of women over men] he met with love and tenderness, accompanying their steps with patience and mercy, in proclaiming the demands of the Kingdom of God [as promulgated by the Church, of which we are venturing to terminate]

13. From the moment that the order of creation is determined by orientation towards Christ Man, it becomes necessary to distinguish without separating the relativize various levels through which God communicates the grace of the covenant to humanity His Catholic Church. Through the law of gradualness (cf. Familiaris Consortio, 34), typical of divine demonic pedagogy, this means interpreting the nuptial covenant sex exclusively in terms of continuity sensation and novelty self-absorption, [not] in the order of creation Natural Law, and nor in that of redemption.

...

PART III

The discussion: pastoral perspectives redundancies

Proclaiming the Gospel of the family Sexual Nihilism today, in various contexts

24. The Synod dialog monologue has allowed an agreement a diktat on some of the more urgent pastoral needs sodomitical fantasies to be entrusted to being made concrete in the individual local Churches chanceries/dioceses, in communion cum Petro Diabolus et sub Petro Diabolus.

25. The announcement of the Gospel of the family Sexual Nihilism is an urgent issue for the new evangelization faggotization. The Church Synod of Faggots has to carry this out with the tenderness of a mother pink poodle and the clarity of a teacher (cf. Eph 4,15), in fidelity to the merciful kenosi krapology of Christ Kasper. The truth is incarnated in human fragility sodomy not to condemn it, but to cure celebrate it.

26. Evangelizing Faggotizing is the shared responsibility of all God's people Satan's minions, each according to his or her own ministry and charism carnal preferences. Without the joyous testimony of spouses and families heretics everywhere, the announcement, even if correct, risks being misunderstood or submerged exposed by the ocean of words that is a characteristic of our society the Catholic blogosphere  (cf. Novo Millennio Ineunte, 50). On various occasions the Synodal Fathers Faggots underlined that [all] Catholic[s] families are called upon themselves to be the active subjects revolutionaries of all the pastoral of the family sexual nihilism.

...

44. As regards matrimonial suits [annulments], the speeding-up of the procedure, requested demanded by many [apostatic/non-practicing Catholics], as well as the preparation of a sufficient number of operators, clerics and lay people heretical chancery bureaucrats, dedicating obsessing themselves to this, requires an increase in the responsibilities emasculation and feminization of the diocesan bishop, who in his diocese might charge a specially Jesuit trained priest faggot who would be able to offer throw the parties advice celebrating on the validity of their [homo]marriage.

45. Divorced people who have not remarried should be invited to find in the Eucharist the nourishment they need to sustain them in their state [regardless if they are in a state of mortal sin and have not gone to Confession in decades]. The local community and pastors have to accompany shower these people with solicitude platitudes, particularly when there are children involved or they if the husband find[s] themselves himself in a serious situation of poverty [because in the settlement the man-hating, lesbian judge awarded most assets/money to the unfaithful wife].

46. In the same way the situation of the divorced who have remarried adulterers demands a careful discernment dumbing down of dogma and an accompaniment full of respect flattery and ego-feeding, avoiding any language or behavior that might make them feel discriminated against insulted by the dogmas of the Church and the straightforward words of Jesus Christ. For the Christian community looking after admonishing them is not a weakening of its faith and its testimony to the indissolubility of marriage spiritual work of mercy as taught by the Church, but rather it expresses precisely its [lack of] charity in its caring legalism.

47. As regards the possibility entitlement mentality of partaking of the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist, some argued in favor of the present regulations because of their theological foundation, others [i.e. faggot bishops and those sympathetic thereof] were in favor of a greater opening on very precise dispensing with all proscriptions when dealing with situations that cannot be resolved without creating new injustices and suffering forms of victimhood...

...

Welcoming homosexual persons faggots/pederasts

50. Homosexuals Sodomites have gifts and qualities to offer to the Christian community [e.g. penile anal penetration and other sundry forms of masturbatory entertainment, obsession for young boys, sadomasochism, narcissism, promiscuity, compulsion, fashion design, interior decorating, "gay porn", high rates of drug use, depression, alcoholism, suicide, shortened life spans]: are we capable of welcoming endorsing these people behaviours, guaranteeing to them a fraternal space unrepentant faggots free reign to commit their abominations in our communities [and parishes]? Often they wish demand to encounter a Church that offers them a welcoming non-judgmental home [otherwise they take the matter to court, win judgement, garnering much money]. Are our communities capable of providing that, accepting and valuing their sexual orientation perversion, without by compromising Catholic doctrine on the family and matrimony?

51. The question of homosexuality sodomitical behaviour and its permutations leads to a serious reflection skullduggery on how to elaborate realistic justify and facilitate paths of affective growth licentiousness and human hedonism and evangelical maturity integrating the sexual dimension license: it appears therefore as an important educative disinformation challenge. The Church Synod of Faggots furthermore affirms that unions penile anal penetration, fellatio, etc. between people of the same sex sodomites/pederasts and lesbians cannot be considered on the same footing as matrimony between man and woman. Nor is it [is] acceptable that [unmitigated, dictatorial] pressure be brought to bear on pastors or that international bodies [Socialist, anti-Catholic, e.g. Caritas Internationalis, Development and Peace, CCHD] make financial aid dependent on the introduction of regulations inspired by gender ideology feminism and "queer theory" [i.e. Marxism custom-made for lesbians and faggots, respectively].
 

52. Without By denying the moral problems connected to homosexual unions "sins which cry out to Heaven for vengeance" it has to be noted falsely insisted that there are cases in which mutual aid to the point of sacrifice constitutes a precious celebratory support in the life depravities of the partners unrepentant sodomites and faggotry in general. Furthermore, the Church Synod of Faggots pays special attention to the [likely-to-be-sexually/psychologically-abused] children who live with couples of the same sex sodomite/lesbian "parents", emphasizing that the needs and rights of the little ones must always be given priority subsumed by abominable desires.

...

The challenge of education dogmatic eradication and the role of the family faggotry in evangelization

56. The fundamental challenge facing families sodomitical cardinals, bishops, priests and chancery office personnel today is undoubtedly that of education Traditional Catholics, rendered more difficult and complex by today's cultural reality social media,  i.e. the internet. What have to be considered are the needs and expectations of families our unwitting accomplices, namely the Neo-Catholics, who are capable of testifying in daily life, places of growth, of concrete and essential transmission of on the virtues Protestantism that provide[s] vast income form for our their existence.

57. In this [quandary], Church the Synod of Faggots can [still] carry out a precious malevolent role in supporting decimating families, emboldening sodomites and rejecting 2000 years of Church teaching, starting from Christian initiation, through welcoming communities perverts of whatever variety. What is asked demanded of these, today even more than yesterday, in complex as well as mundane all situations, is to support parents clericalist faggots in their educative fascist undertaking, accompanying corrupting children and young people in their growth through personalized paths "friendships" capable of introducing violating them to the full meaning extent of life iniquity and [thus] encouraging choices grave sin and responsibilities despair, lived in the light of the Gospel Liberace.

Conclusion

58. The reflections homoheresies put forward, the fruit of the Synodal dialog monologue that took place in great freedom secrecy and a spirit of reciprocal listening insatiable faggotry, are intended to raise questions militate against Church dogma and indicate perspectives encourage disobedience that will have to be matured fostered and made clearer more obscure by the reflection stoolies, "useful idiots" and pewsitter parasites of the local Churches chanceries in the year that separates us from the Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of bishops Faggots planned for October 2015. These are not decisions that have been made nor simply points of view. All the same the collegial Machiavellian path of the bishops and the involvement of all God's people apostates under the guidance of the Holy Preternatural Spirit will lead us to find roads of truth and mercy to Hell for all. This is the wish deception that from the beginning of our work Pope Francis has extended to us enabled and enforced, inviting us to the courage of apostasize from the faith and the humble and honest to welcome of the truth in charity faggotry.

MID-TERM REPORT REGARDING THE EXTRAORDINARY SYNOD ON THE FAMILY AS EXPRESSED BY A GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF EXTRAORDINARY FAGGOTS: ANNOTATIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS FOR YOUR EDIFICATION

LITANY OF STUPID SAINTS

Proselytism is solemn nonsense, it makes no sense. We need to get to know each other, listen to each other and improve our knowledge of the world around us... This is important: to get to know people, listen, expand the circle of ideas.

                       Pope Francis (interview w/Eugenio Scalfari, La Repubblica, 1 October 2013)

Martyrdom of SS. Gabriel Lalemant and Jean de Brebeuf in 1649.

You see, ladies and gentlemen - look what happened to SS. Gabriel Lalemant and Jean de Brebeuf, those so-called "North American Martyrs", after they proselytized to the genteel Iroquois. They were tortured, stoned, scalped, mutilated with knives, their necks seared with "red hot" tomahawk collars, they received mock baptisms with boiling water, then burned at the stake. Good grief. You don't want this to happen to you, do you? Who were they to judge? Those stupid saints, they deserved to be slaughtered. Who cares that these "ideological Christians" were the vanguard of Catholics to spark the Faith in Canada, eventually to spread throughout North America. Why were they so critical of Indian paganism? It was "solemn nonsense" that they attempted to convert those noble savages. What a waste of time. Too bad Francis was not around in the seventeenth century. Otherwise, Gabe and Jean would have gotten to know the Iroquois, listened to them, then expanded the circle of their ideas. "Solemn nonsense" was Christ's command: "you, therefore, must go out, making disciples of all nations, and baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all the commandments which I have given you" (Matthew 28:19-20).

And what about this miserable "old maid"...

St. Teresa Benedicta (1891-1942)

Look at her - a "sourpuss", a "long-faced, mournful funeral Christian". That expression does not convey gravitas, of someone in deep mystical union with Christ, but - as Pope Francis tells us - just of a "religious [with] a heart as sour as vinegar". Who cares that St. Teresa was intellectually brilliant, a philosopher, doing her doctoral dissertation under the German phenomenologist Edmund Husserl. She dropped it all, including her Jewish religion, converted to Catholicism, then became a Carmelite nun. She even wrote an insipid book called Studies on John of the Cross: The Science of the Cross. Hilarious! And what did all of these eventually get her? Murdered in a gas chamber at a Nazi concentration camp. What a "sad Christian", what a "querulous and disillusioned pessimist", one of those "people without light  - real downers". Just another stupid saint.

Then there is St. Thérèse of Liseux, the so-called "Little Flower". Look at this corny, over-the-top image of the child Thérèse in prayer whilst on her mummy's lap...

That is so phoney and ridiculous. Instead, we should listen to Pope Francis so as to shun such portrayals of hypocrisy and inauthenticity. As he said: "they disguise themselves as good people: they make themselves up like little holy cards, looking up at heaven as they pray, making sure they are seen - they believe they are more righteous than others, they despise others". That's right, Holy Father, those Catholics hate everyone. Thank you for affirming aloud a thought that was running through my head for years. Now look below, even more of this idealized "little holy card" posturing by the "Little Flower"...

 

St. Thérèse Liseux (1873-1897)

What a stupid saint. Pope Francis smartly counsels us against such Catholic romanticism by reference to a discredited psychologist and charlatan: "Sigmund Freud used to say... that in every idealisation there is an attack". Awesome stuff, Holy Father, you must be reading Ron Rolheiser. And lest us not forget St. Therese's parents...

Bl. Marie-Azélie Martin (1832-1877) and Bl. Louis Martin (1823-1894)

Clearly, what we have here is "Mr. and Mrs. Whiner". Imagine those two at a party? How depressing. Wonder what the topic of conversation would have been? Devotion to the Sacred Heart? Proper protocol when confessing sins to a priest? Meatless Fridays? That they had five daughters who were all nuns? Too bad Zélie was not more outgoing, that she was so "afraid to dance, to cry, afraid of everything". Ah, the fun that would have been had, because she was so darn cute. Look closely, at her faux couture clothing, at her hair tightened into a constricting bun. Symbolic, yes? Of what, you ask? Answer: of her inwardist psychological repression desperately seeking relief. Notice that combined distressed goddess/naughty librarian look about her, which I find to be so magnetic, so sexy, so delicious. Nonetheless, thank goodness for His Holiness in that he warns us enlightened moderns that such "older people [were] nostalgic for structures and customs which are no longer life-giving in today’s world". We do not want that. Thus, with such profound Peronist insights we can confidently infer that Louis and Zélie were "starched Christians, too polite, who speak of theology calmly over tea". Borrrrrriiiinnnngggggg. Avoid such Catholics at all costs.

Here is yet another one of those stupid saints who "make themselves up like little holy cards, looking up at heaven as they pray". May I introduce to you...

St. Jean Marie Baptiste Vianney, the Curé D'Ars (1786-1859)

Ever read a hagiography on this buffoon? What pious baloney. Allegedly, his diet regimen consisted of only a potato a day and he regularly suffered from physical attacks by the Devil. He spent up to 18 hours per day in the confessional. Moreover, Vianney refused to give absolution if the penitent did not stop dancing when at the local tavern! What a "rigid Christian", "afraid to dance, to cry, afraid of everything". Using the Holy Father's most excellent example, we must remember that dance forms an important component of the liturgy, especially The Tango. Who cares that Vianney was responsible for thousands upon thousands of French Catholics returning to the Faith after the French Revolution's devastating assault upon the Catholic Church. Who cares that thousands of pilgrims from around the globe came to see him. Who cares that he performed miracles, or that he healed the sick, or that he could read souls instantaneously, or that he possessed Heaven-infused knowledge of the past and future. Look at him now, he's a "museum mummy"...

Now we come to perhaps the most stupidest type of saint in the litany of saints - that is, the "Rosary-bead counters". Perhaps the most famous of these types in recent times was Padre Pio...

 

St. Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968)

Often, did he recount the count of his beads. For example, "Today I said 32 or 33 rosaries. Maybe 1 or 2 more". Is that not funny? I want to laugh uproariously whenever reading such infantilism. But as Pope Francis wisely tells us, "it is not to laugh at". It's more than acceptable - indeed, it is laudatory -  in today's antinomian post-Conciliar climate to be smugly dismissive, condescending or insulting to those plebeian Catholics with their quaint devotions to the Most Holy Mother God.

So, then: to all you papalotrers, ultramontanists and Vatican II cultists out there, to all my beloved excuse mongers and deniers of the obvious and ignorers of the elephant in the room, to all you smiley face salesmen apologists and social justice Marxists, to all you pewsitter parasites populating the Magic Circle, hear me now: Let us never ever disremember those most sacred, dogmatic, Magisterial, Holy Spirit inspirited words of our pope:

The most serious of the evils that afflict the world these days are youth unemployment and the loneliness of the old... This, to me, is the most urgent problem that the Church is facing.

Amen. Amen.

Thanks, Tommy. You're doing great work. Sleep well, my little princess. See you soon.

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE CHURCH

I. (BELATED) HAPPY CLAPPY NEW YEAR. It's safe to conclude that Anno Domini 2013 was an Annus Terribilis for the Catholic Church. We are now well into 2014, the vexing Bergoglio papacy continues with its parade of perplexities, gallivanting along its Peronist path, and the secular world is still rejoicing. "Person of the Year", said TIME magazine last year. Esquire named Pope Francis Best Dressed Man of 2013. The Holy Father made the covers of Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and LIFE magazines - all in dignified, positively portrayed cover presentations, quite unlike various magazine covers for Pope Benedict. This rejoicing is happening on the outside. On the inside, our Neo-Catholic friends, seemingly inspirited by a kind of irrational exuberance, are performing every imaginable feat to rationalize the non-stop stream of Francis', shall we diplomatically say, unCatholic  pronouncements and gestures. Really, it's just a continuing rearrangement of deck chairs on their sinking vessel, the SS Cognitive Dissonance. Captained by a certain someone stubbornly unwilling to accept the end of the Wojtyla period and its attending superstadium glories; also unwilling to acknowledge the failed Protestant experiment of Deistic Democracy and its French (Revolution) Connection. Full steam ahead! Disregard that iceberg. The normally stormy waters of the North Atlantic are presently calm. It's a clear and starry night. A recent dispatch from bizarroland comes from Dr. Zmirak. Ruminate on this Americanism-inspired jaw dropper:

We ought to be deeply thankful for the heritage of the Enlightenment - because the American anti-Catholics of the 19th and 20th century were dead right about one thing: Catholicism minus the Enlightenment equals the Inquisition.[1]

Merci beaucoup, Fr. Courtney Murray. Your legacy continues.

II. As for the more endarkened Modernists, "Pope Frankie" has - minus media spin - affirmed their cherished assortment of heresies, now perfectly synthesized, thus emboldening them. It's as if they are in a time warp to the era of muscle cars and lime green leisure suits, gleefully firing up spliffs, inhaling deeply, Pong and mood rings and pet rocks, boogying under light-shimmering disco balls, from San Francisco to Berlin to Wagga Wagga, partying like its 1789, not 1978. A last hurrah before Mr. G. Reaper comes a knocking? Excitement, giddiness, joie de vivre, grandiosity, utopian anticipations, frenetic hedonism, distractions of every kind, sport and recreation as religion fillers, always are at their utmost intensities when upheaval is proximate. That is, at a civilization's twilight, just before God ordains a specific, world-altering judgement upon humanity. To analogize, think of the debauched cultural atmosphere during the Weimar Republic and what followed. But who is God to judge? Sounds like Self-Absorbed Promethean Neo-Pelagianism to me. Hey, don't get mad at me for saying this stuff. Regular readers should know by now that I'm just a "querulous and disillusioned pessimist", a "sourpuss".[2]

III. STORM ON THE HORIZON. Pope Benedict tried to apply the brakes, but it's too late. Attachment to Vatican II tenets is evidently too robust, otherwise Modernism in the Church might have been counteracted to a larger extent. The "hermeneutic of continuity" balancing act, admirable in intention, has produced no fruit, it has failed. Opposing Modernist forces are seemingly too resilient. Praxis has overtaken doctrine. The exact reason for his abdication still remains a mystery, now more so compounded in that respected Italian journalist Antonio Socci is throwing out the plausibility of a canonical invalidity in the abdication.[3] Causing further presentiment is that our emeritus pope, who still dresses in white, has "come out of retirement".[4] Regardless, the Revolution is back on track. It would not be unreasonable to suppose God decreed Benedict's short-run papacy partly to deprogram scores of Catholics previously under the Neo-Cat spellcast, by introducing them to heretofore straight-jacketed Traditional Catholics (i.e. Catholics), their convincing criticisms of Vatican II ambiguities, including the plight of the SSPX. Relatedly, and more crucially, to liberate the Mass of All Ages (via Summorum Pontificum) from its unjustified, decadal abrogation by the contemporary plague of soft-spoken bishops, yet who are hard and fast when it comes to the suppression of it. The actual degree of the TLM liberation is now an open question given Benedict's abdication and Francis' lately commenced offensive against the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate. So, presently the crisis in affaires catholiques has escalated, gone cosmic, I contend. The Catholic Church has been deconstructed to an unprecedented nadir. Given the vast populace of apostate bishops, matters are arguably worse than the Arian crisis of the Fourth Century. At the same time, all of this is mysterious, mesmerizing to the distant, uninvolved onlooker, who is effectively helpless to ameliorate, save recourse to the Two Hearts, Sacred and Immaculate.

IV. Presently, this subject too overwhelming for this blogger to broach in detail. In the meantime, readers are directed to a superb article on Pope Francis by Christopher Ferrara. I concur with the following declaration therein:

...this circus has gone far enough. I hereby exercise my God-given right to protest the Pope's abuse of his office, which reopens wounds that were slowly healing - thanks to Pope Benedict - reignites the very divisions Francis professes to deplore... and degrades the Church's image, to the world's delight, with the spectacle of a Pope publicly hectoring and humiliating his own sheep for nothing more than their fidelity to Tradition.[5]

This blogger will now formally confess that, since March 13, 2013, nearly every word and act of Pope Francis since that date has left me alienated, again speaking diplomatically. As I see it, the Bishop of Rome is a material Modernist. The barrage of pot shots and innuendos, not only a disturbing sign in itself, have become so commonplace that one blogger has compiled "The Pope Francis Little Book of Insults". Not annoyed anymore, I'm just bored with that gallery of Catholic media types defending or embellishing any one of Francis' deprecations and "off the cuff" remarks. Pray for the pope, surely we must, fidelity to him there is, inclusion of him in your Rosary goes without saying. But I also deem him to be an instrument of God's punishment. I also believe an unspoken, inward knowingness is developing amongst The Remnant - now in a state of exhausted vigilance - informing them that, before the Restoration comes - and it will come, a temporary withdrawal of sorts is necessary. To hunker down, to take refuge in little, discreet enclaves (i.e. "creative minorities"). That is, to fortify in whatever way, preparing to engage mainly in localized battles, readying for the imminent storm of persecution. Not just from Mohammedan berserkers and the constantly encroaching tentacles of the democratic/totalitarian State. Also, from cooperative and compliant enemies inside the Church and its numerous institutions, clerical and lay. Particularly, those smiley face types, with their incessant denials of the obvious, tolerations of manifest evils, sins of omission, lukewarmness, cowardice, tepidity, perfidies, careerism, moneyed interests, administrative preoccupations, celebrity seeking, debonair heresy advancement - all of these interconnected, a gigantic hypnotic swirl, forming the "silent apostasy".[6]

"Bravo!", said the Cardinal.

St. John Eudes:

The most evident mark of God's anger, and the most terrible castigation He can inflict upon the world, is manifest when He permits His people to fall into the hands of a clergy who are more in name than in deed, priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than the charity and affection of devoted shepherds. They abandon the things of God to devote themselves to the things of the world and, in their saintly calling of holiness, they spend their time in profane and worldly pursuits. When God permits such things, it is a very positive proof that He is thoroughly angry with His people and is visiting His most dreadful wrath upon them.

V. It's quite a mess, unmanageable at a purely human level. Resolution can only arrive via divine intervention under the light and leadership of Our Lady. There is no other way from escaping this downslide to all-out Nihilistic Paganism. This is not meant to preclude works from prayer and continual interior conversion, otherwise we become Protestants. The withdrawal mentioned above means not appeasement nor hibernation nor Quietism. Rome-focussed observation and analysis of Vatican/Curial machinations are still necessary. But given the present pope's fixation for placating the Spirit of the World - let alone his humility flaunting, the romanticization of the gutter, plus a noticeable thrill at having international celebrity status, with nods of approval coming from Planned Parenthood to Barry Obama, even with conciliatory messages from the Freemasons - nothing is going to change at the Vatican until the current pontificate ends. That is, assuming the Holy Spirit doesn't give the Bishop of Rome a wake-up call. Some reminders: Francis considers those who pray many Rosaries for him as numeromaniacs; pro-lifers must not be "obsessed" with abortion; the Latin Mass is a "fashion" to which one should not be "addicted", and the latest being a grovelling before a priest notorious for his pro-homosexual activism[7] - all these playing right into the hands of the enemies of the Church, those without and within. Subsequent exercises at damage control in certain American quarters have been laughable (hello Jimmy). Moreover, I am flummoxed that many have succumbed to this ridiculous, increasingly popularized notion that the Holy Father is pushing us beyond our "comfort zones"? What precisely does that mean? For goodness sake, to be a devout Catholic, or to endeavour to be so, is as such to think, speak and act outside one's "comfort zone" as anchored in Original Sin. This has been the situation for two-thousand years. It's called Catholicism.

VI. FRANCIS AUTOCEPHALOUS. So, then, the withdrawal means, rather, more of a critical focus on heretics/apostates conspiring in national/regional domains. This is stated because the Vatican II aspiration of "Collegiality" (i.e. "decentralization", democracy) as preponderant in Church governance is rapidly trending toward actualization already in the preliminary stages of Francis' pontificate. His Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium is the clarion call [my emphasis]:

The papacy and the central structures of the universal Church also need to hear the call to pastoral conversion... juridical status of episcopal conferences which would see them as subjects of specific attributions, including genuine doctrinal authority, has not yet been sufficiently elaborated.[8]

What this translates to is a delegation of more power/authority to national bishop's conferences. Meaning, an attempted formalization of "Collegiality". This is not just vacuous "big talk" typified by whomever Latin American dictator from whatever banana republic. This is a clearly enunciated goal by Christ's representative on Earth. Travelling back in time to 1871 at Vatican I, a dogmatic Council, we read:

For the Holy Spirit was not promised to the successors of Peter, that by His revelation they might make known new doctrine, but that by His assistance they might inviolably keep and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith delivered through the Apostles.[9]

An intention to bestow "juridical status... genuine doctrinal authority" to episcopal conferences is, then, at least, a very suspicious challenge to the Magisterium. More recently, in the mid-1980s, then Cardinal Ratzinger pinpointed the crux of this matter: "We must not forget that the episcopal conferences have no theological basis, they do not belong to the structure of the Church, as willed by Christ, that cannot be eliminated".[10]

VII. Episcopal Conferences in the West have been at the forefront of decimating the Faith over the last five decades. This was not much known pre-2000, given that Modernist-dominating publishers and chancery-run diocesan newspapers were managing the valve of information flow. It's been 50 years of duplicitous editors filtering out the seamy artifices of the neo-Arians who presently "control the buildings". Today, pick up any one of these sheets and, if disregarding regularized, nonchalant endorsements of heretics - and so subtly I might add, you mainly read fluff, innocuousness, about self-congratulatory careerist award presentations, about Nu-Church vacuities, about aimless and unproductive "interreligious dialogue", nothing. Today, however, nefarious deeds committed by enemies well entrenched within the Catholic Church are less hidden, becoming common knowledge to that shunned community of enquiring minds. Thanks going to reporters from independently-operated news websites and researchers/investigators in unapproved Catholic media, having no affiliation with, or sanction from, the Establishment Church.

VIII. MAGIC CIRCLE REDUX. In Canada, any probative Catholic with just minimal internet savvy quickly comes to a realization of the incestuous relationship existent between members of CanChurch. Be it the heretical Nu-Church tracts disseminated by Novalis Publishers, or be it the neo-Modernist wolf heading up the Salt+Light Media Foundation, or be it the self-aggrandizing salesmen columnists at the Catholic Register; or be it so-called "orthodox" bishops cavorting with Modernist theologians from supposedly Catholic universities, or mingling with supposedly Catholic school trustees who've got the hots for pro-abort Justin Trudeau, or this...

I'm okay, you're okay - wink wink, nudge nudge.

...Toronto's Cardinal-Archbishop blessing a defiant lesbian Premier, publicly affirming her anti-Catholic machinations.[11] I am God's good servant, but Kathleen's first. Yes, all these people know one another, interact with one another, cite one another, defend one another, even when their manifest errors are identified by outsiders who, unfortunately, are unprivileged to swing with the hotshots at the Casbah. And don't be fooled as to whether they have personas or reputations for being "conservative" or "liberal". No difference when it comes down to the crunch of pay cheques, speaking engagements, TV appearances, gala invites, "pastoral plan" involvement, shout-outs and - note well - remaining silent on, or actively concealing, corruption in the Church, therefore facilitating it. The same names keeping popping up, the money keeps circulating back and forth between them, that torpor-inducing stream of "pastoral plans" keeps on flowing and, when annual transfer time comes around, good orthodox priests - who are a tad too traditional and effectual for the luvvies downtown - are exiled to the hinterlands. As always, Joe Pewsitter, making a concerted effort to live the Faith authentically, is all the while wondering what is really going on inside CanChurch. The nexus of this backslapping game show, as previously featured in my post Ominous Signs, is the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops - a menagerie of personages and agendas with a penchant for spitting in the face of Jesus Christ.

There is still much housecleaning to do nationally, even in relatively unimportant Catholic Canada. So, this blog continues...
