Poop Video For Sept 2021 Urges Servitude To Mother Earth Idol

Below is the Poop Video for September 2021.  As he lays aside his propaganda campaign for the ingestion of the sinful corona vaccines, he resumes another topic from what I call the "new world punch list", that is, 

  1. Twisting centuries of Catholic theology in an attempt to quash the death penalty
  2. Gun control and nuclear disarmament, as if evil people would divest themselves of their weapons
  3. "Immigration reform", thinly-veiled language for removal of national boundaries
  4. Environmentalism, climate-change hysteria - whatever they want to call their de facto earth-worship
  5. Racism, unless it's directed at Caucasians
  6. Socialism disguised as poverty-elimination 
Today's topic is number four.  Note some things.
  • Right off the bat, he holds young people up to be paragons of virtue.  In so doing, he slyly encourages them to look with disdain on their parents and other elders who might protect them from progressive manipulation.
  • Notice the words "environmentally sustainable lifestyle".  Hmm..  Where, oh where, have we seen that word "sustainable" in the past?
  • Then he starts to yammer about us needing to live "simply".  Who decides what is "simple"?  The One World Government?  Notice how the phrase "environmentally sustainable lifestyle" is flashed at the viewer every now and then?  Subliminal suggestion much?
I challenge you to suffer through watch this thing several times to see how many times he utters the words:
  • God
  • Jesus Christ
  • Sin
  • Sacraments
  • The four last things (death, judgment, heaven, hell)
  • Church

So how many times were those words mentioned?  That's right!  Zero-zip-nada!  So of whom is the pope the vicar?  Of Mother Earth?  Gaia? Pachamama?  

Sadly the pope has kindred spirits with many of the bishops.  The Archbishop of Dublin issued a "pastoral letter" last week regarding the "climate catastrophe".  My!  Such a coincidence that this Poop Video and this pastoral letter both came out the same week!  

Ireland was once a staunchly Catholic country, but no more.  They legalized both baby-slaughter and same-sex marriage while banning attendance at Mass because, well, covid!  With so much spiritual havoc being wreaked on that country and on local Catholics, one of their key shepherds issues a 64-page screed on "ecological conversion"?

By the way - 64 pages??  For shame, archbishop!  How many poor, defenseless trees had to be chopped down so that paper could be wasted on your envirowhacko blather?   The name of that tome is "Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor".  No, Your Excellency!  The earth doesn't cry.  Please cease your personification and idolatry of the earth.

For those still inclined to take this new-age idolatry seriously just because its proponents wear miters, it is high time to cease the papalotry and stand for Jesus and His Traditions.

The Pope Wants Good Vibes!

 Have this playing in the background as you read the rest of the post below.

Apparently while the pope was spouting off some more environmentalism screed, he asked for prayer and/or "good vibes".  After that, everyone dutifully snickered.  Har-dee har har!  He asked that God would bless people but then refused to give a papal blessing.

So on one hand the pope thinks prayer to God and "good vibes" are equivalent.  In other words, he trivializes God's power.  But on the other hand, he claims that the Wuhan virus is nature's response to "climate change".  He ascribes an awful lot of power to that now, doesn't he?

Does he think "good vibes" will fix the pandemic?

Covid And BLM Meant To Pave Way For Socialism And New World Order

 On Friday 8/28, Michael Hichborn of Lepanto Institute published an address that he gave, reflecting on various current events and connecting some very obvious dots.  At the 32:58 mark, he begins to talk about an article mentioning "resetting the economy".  This "resetting" that is being bandied about by various "leaders" entails the introduction of "socialistic policies" and "green new deals".  Is anyone surprised?   Among these "leaders" is the World Economic Forum.  They specifically laud the "ideas" of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

At the 37:03 mark, Hichborn quotes them as stating that the Corona virus "has created an important opportunity".  While it certainly is an implmentation of the Alinskyian rule "never let a crisis go to waste", this is almost verbatum repeated by the pope in a recent address that he gave.  I will now post both videos below.




So now we have a reasonable supposition that the covid thing is being hyped in order to pave the way for socialism.  From the second video, it almost seems that the pope is in on the scam.  They are now becoming quite open about their schemes to implement this "new world order".  Hichborn mentions a site called greattransition.org.  Take a look at it.  Please also watch the full videos.  We must inform ourselves and others, and need to be willing to invest the time to do so.

We have to do a few things to combat this socialistic, masonic evil being foisted upon us.  We must (if we aren't doing so already) commit to praying the Rosary every day.  In November, we must vote to defeat the baby-slaughter socialist party.  That means we vote Republican, from Trump on down.  Don't give me any blather about "sitting out the election" or voting "third party" for if you do, you will be sinning against the virtue of prudence (as well as committing other sins).

The Pope's Animus Against The United States

Through Eugenio Scalfari (again!), the pope stated his wish that the United States would give up its national sovereignity and submit to a one-world government.  It's for our own good, of course!  Lest anyone think that this is another bogus quote (and the Scalfari quotes have yet to be proven bogus), recall that the pope is on record as saying on September 11 that "we must obey international institutions" and "that is why the United Nations was created".

I post below a Vortex on the matter, but below that will have additional comments.



The whole Amazon Synod was all about the promotion of one-world government under the veneer of environmentalism.  The United States, under the leadership of President Trump, is blocking that.  Of course the nation's bishops are falling lock-step behind the pope.  That is why they kvetched when Trump announced our withdrawal from the abysmal joke known as the Paris Climate agreement two years ago.  That is why leftists were allowed to vent their spleens at Trump during this most recent USCCB meeting - and why some bishops actually chimed in.

Is the United States perfect?  By no means.  But then what civic government ever was?  I think it's highly ironic that the US is being attacked by all kinds of unbalanced people from both extremes.  I dealt with the right-wing version of this nonsense this past Sunday.  Given all the alternatives that currently exist, the US model is superor to them all.  At the very least, the US stands as a safeguard against the one-world malevolence being spewed by leftists.  The US stands in peril because of its embrace of baby-slaughter and sexual perversions - one reason among many why we must pray our Rosaries.  We pray them not only for the US but for civilization at large and for our poor Church that is being ill-served by progressives within the papacy and high eschelons of power.

LifeSiteNews Publishes English Version Of Synod Document

LifeSiteNews, with help of some of its Spanish-speaking staff, has translated the final Amazon synod document into English.  We find it odd that the Vatican never published a complete English version although it did for the other major languages.  Why?  Well, you might be staring at one of the "reasons" right now!  But I digress!  Shall we resume?

LifeSiteNews has it right here and it links to a pdf version.  I'd suggest you download that for safekeeping, if you get my drift.  I've started to read this thing.  The bulk of it is not much more than an apologetic screed for ecowhackoism and by extension, pantheism and one-world government.  If one actually believed that crock, they might believe that the Amazon was a virtual "garden of eden" before the big bad western "colonizers" came along and stopped their human sacrifices, uh, worship.

You have to slog through quite a bit of pabulum before getting to overt heresy.  That begins at paragraph 95 and continues through paragraph 103.  This last paragraph is a non-too-subtle attempt to insinuate the idea of "female deacons" (that is in quotes because it's an oxymoron).

I'll end this post with a few questions, and you can answer in the comments section.  Tell me the paragraphs in which the necessity for the sacraments and turning from personal sin is mentioned.  Where is heaven and/or hell mentioned?

A Cult Of Witchcraft, Liberation Theology, And Environmentlism

That seems to be the goal that Pope Francis and his sin-nod henchmen seem to have for the Catholic Church.  They are trying to beat the Church into becoming an apostate coven.

Today it was announced that the progressive Ford Foundation is funding one of the organizers of the Amazon Synod.  I leave you to study the link, although we can safely say that the Ford Foundation only ponied over the $2 million because they know that this synod will further their pro-abortion and pro-gay agenda.

Besides the Ford Foundation, another group that is supportive of the synod is a bunch of Italian wiccans.  They have waxed lyrical about the pagan ritual in the Vatican gardens and the profanation of the following Mass.  From their warped perspectives they do have reason for gloating.

It is increasingly clear for anyone with a functioning ear and/or eyeball that there is an overt attempt to twist the Church into a conduit for the progressive "new world order" mentality.  Recall the pope telling us that we had to "obey the United Nations".  In addition to prayer, we must also be contemplating practical strategies for resistance in case the apostasy manifests itself in our parishes.

Something's Fishy With This Poop Video

Bear in mind that every day babies are being deliberately slaughtered by the thousands.  In the middle east Christians are also being murdered simply because they are Christians.  In China, as a result of the pope's betrayal, Christians are seeing their churches destroyed and their lives being placed in jeopardy.  All manners of sexual perversion are now being celebrated as Christians find themselves persecuted for simply living their faith.  Just recently we saw the Seattle Church utterly betray Jesus Christ as they literally ushered an unrepentant gay "shaman" to his likely eternal perdition.

Now the September installment of the "Pope Video" has been released.  In it, for what does Pope Francis suggest we pray?  Is it for any of the serious problems listed above?  Nope!

We are being asked to pray for a bunch of damned fish!



Notice that when the pope says that fish "are threatened for various reasons" we see one of those evil motor boats with propellers churning?  That's because big bad mankind is killing all the fishees, see?

So now we're supposed to pray that "politicians, scientists and economists work together to protect the world's seas and oceans".  Not babies, not marriage, not persecuted Christians but "seas and oceans"!

It's obvious that this poop video is nothing more than a cheesy attempt to prime us for the Amazon Sin-nod and its gaia-worship, environmentalist screeds.  By the way - I still haven't finished my penitential study of that Instrumentum Laboris mess.  I hope to do that soon.

USCCB Bashes Trump On Paris Agreement, Silent On Sanders' Christophobic Bigotry

As most of you know, President Trump saved the United States from being economically and politically raped by the European Union vis-a-vis the Paris Agreement.  Of course this agreement was a darling to the gaia-worshiping wonks who drafted Laudato Si.

That of course means that the USCCB is waxing apoplectic over the withdrawal.  The USCCB issued a statement to that effect, showing that they are willing shills - if not full-fledged partners - in the environmentalist scam.  Conveniently they overlook (or hide) the fact that Trump offered to re-negotiate the terms of the agreement, but the EU would have none of that, for reasons not hard to fathom.

So now consider: Mass attendance continues to plunge, as do religious and priestly vocations.  Those Catholics that do bestir themselves to attend Mass are so poorly catechized that they don't know what happens at the Mass, they contracept and abort and divorce while receiving Holy Communion, they don't know the basic tenets of their Faith.  Of course they haven't the foggiest idea of the last four things: death, judgment, heaven, hell and that the choices they make in this life will irrevocably determine their eternal destinies.

At times the USCCB does some lip service about "freedom of conscience".  But they were strangely silent when Bernie Sanders flat out told Russell Vought that he would oppose him as a nominee for Deputy Director for the Office of Management and Budget.  The latter wrote an article defending the Christian school Wheaton College for its stance on Christian theology.  That was enough for Sanders to engage in an unconstitutional screed against Vought.  In essence, Sanders told not only Vought but all devout Christians that they have no place in civil government.  If that isn't rank bigotry, the first rattlings of a ghettoizing saber, I don't know what is.    Yet the USCCB utters not one peep on that?  Or are they silent for they too oppose anyone nominated by President Trump?

Doctor Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas TX, issued a public call for Sander to either apologize or resign his office - bearing in mind that in his screed against Vought, Sanders violated his oath of office that obliged him to uphold the US Constitution, including Article VI and the Bill of Rights.  Will the nation's Catholic bishops bestir themselves to do at least as much?

A phrase I coined a few years ago, "niggers of the new age", comes immediately to mind, for that is how Sander and his ilk would like to treat Christians.  Recall that this christophobe was a candidate for the US presidency.  These situations will become more and more frequent in this post-modern era unless our bishops start acting like true shepherds of the Church.  A good place to start for them might be the emulation of Dr. Jeffress' example.

March For Pseudo-Science; With Idea On How Catholic Church Can Really Be Green

This is a "two-part" post as the title implies.  Both parts have as their common theme environmentalism.  First, I'll deal with the junk-science aspect.

It's obvious from the name that they dubbed for their latest media stunt "March For Science" that these people are in damage-control mode.  They understand that many people in the US are fed up with their bogus, hypocritical claims.  One "case in point" was their protest of the Dakota Pipe Line.  Their protests were ostensibly for the sake of the "environment" but in their wake they left mountains of trash that required a massive clean-up effort.

So now they claim to be upholding the banner of "science"!  Really??  What science?  Well, they hold in high esteem Paul Erlich, author of "The Population Bomb".  Remember that?  That book predicted that we would all starve ourselves to death.  But that mass starvation was supposed to occur at least twenty years ago.  His book might well have been entitled "The Bomb" for his predictions fizzled out.  It's worth noting that Ehrlich advocated abortion and contraception (even forced) to reduce the world's population.

They have the audacity to claim that their "science" is settled, that it is written in stone.  Other distinguished scientists beg to differ.  I've written before on the Heartland Institute and the Cornwall Alliance.  These two organizations have done much to demonstrate the frivolity of the claims of radical environmentalists.  We also salute Lord Christopher Monkton, who speaks truth to the harm done by environmentalism, and in particular to the harm being done by the pope's participation of that hoax.

I link now to one talk given by a so-called "illuminary" of yesterday's pseudo-science gabfest.  Perhaps this speaker didn't realize how honest she was.  She flat out states that "science, arts, etc" will wither away unless the federal government funds them.  Right there we see what that whole cabal wants - more of our money and more of our liberties.

As we've seen before, Pope Francis is in on the hoax.  I no longer believe that he is simply a naive dupe of the progressives.  He is one of them.  I mentioned Paul Ehrlich earlier in this post.  Long-time readers of this blog will note that Ehrlich was invited by the Vatican to give lectures on this topic, as were Jeffrey Sachs and other anti-life people.  We also know that Laudato Si is one giant envirowhacko screed designed to give the environmentalist movement a Catholic veneer.  I now link to one of my older posts that contains two videos that expose environmentalism and its advocates.

So much for my first topic.  Now let's move to the second topic, that is, how the Church can really do something worthwhile for the environment and reduce its carbon footprint.

When many of us go to Mass, we probably use the missalette in the pew.  It's probably made of paper, and is changed periodically, to coincide with liturgical seasons, etc.  Many people who pray the liturgy of the hours probably also use a paper booklet; Magnificat is one of the more popular ones.  Then we also see the various weekly handouts that give the hymns for the day.   Readers, does that not strike you as a considerable waste of paper, not to mention the money to print those things?  Solution?  Return to the use of the missal, the breviary, and the hymnal.  I mean the permanent ones that can be used day after day, year after year.  Yes, it will involve an initial outlay of cash, but think of the savings throughout the years in reduced subscription and printing costs.  As an added bonus, there will be less need to cut down trees.  I've had my breviary set for well over twenty years, my missal ever since the changes promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI.  What do you all think of that?

Soros, Pope, UN: Using Environmentalism To Achieve One World Government

The Fatima Center, on its youtube page, has quite a few informative videos.  I post one now, of a talk given by Elizabeth Yore, an attorney whose research uncovered evidence of links between Pope Francis, the United Nations, and George Soros.  She also underscores how the aim of One World Government is being furthered under the cloak of environmentalism.  Michael Voris touched upon the anti-life philosophy behind environmentalism in one of his exposes.  That episode was produced while Pope Benedict XVI was still on the Chair of Peter so the Vatican had not been completely turned over to the Soros cabal.  After Pope Francis ascended, we saw quite an ominous display of the worship of environmentalism; how that display could have been more blatant I don't know.

Yore concludes by stating that we must do our part in waking up Catholics in the pew, many of them oblivious to the warfare for their Church and their very souls.  That means you!  See here an example of that from Cardinal Burke.

Advocate For Coerced Population Control To Speak At Vatican

When Laudato Si was being formulated, the Vatican invited many progressive hacks to conduct seminars and conferences in preparation.  Jeffrey Sachs, John Schnellnhuber and Naomi Klein come immediately to mind.  All of these people are flagrant proponents of "population control".  Within a preparatory report for Laudato Si called "Climate Change and the Common Good itself is an unmistakable call for "population control"; see this post for the direct quote.  I also link to another post on environmentalism junk science and suggest that you review the videos embedded therein.

In 1968, a left-wing ideologue named Paul Ehrlich released a book called "The Population Bomb".  This tome helped the population-control/enviromentalis juggernaut get underway.  In this book he advocated mandatory population control.  I quote: "we must have population control at home, hopefully through a system of incentives and penalties, but by compulsion of voluntary methods fail.  We must use our political power to push other countries into programs which combine agricultural development and population control."  The "voluntary methods", of course, include contraception and abortion.  As far as "compulsion", we see that in Communist China today with their barbaric forced abortions to enforce their "one child policy".  The man is flat-out advocating for big government (a prime progressive goal in and of itself) to engage in gulag-style mass murder of infants that would make both Hitler and Stalin resemble Mother Teresa in comparison.  It is not too far-fetched to guess that this man has much blood on his hands and is in grave danger off damnation as he continues to espouse his hell-spawned convictions

Incredibly, though, it seems that the Vatican, far from calling this man to repentance for his advocacy of murder, intends to give to him a forum by which he can continue to promulgate his anti-life and anti-God screeds.

The venue is a conference on "Biological Extinction", sponsored by the Pontifical Academies for the Sciences and Social Sciences, to be held late Feb - early March.  The program for this gab-fest is one huge propaganda piece telling the cliche-lie that mankind is ruining Mother Earth and we'd better do something about it yesterday or we'll all die".  See the LifeSite link for the program.   C-Fam listed a number of bald-faced lies committed by Ehrlich; I wonder how many will be in that paper that Ehrlich presents to that overpopulation hootenany next month.

By the way - who is paying for all these bogus conferences?  I'm beginning to think that a boycott of the Peter's Pence collection might be in order..

Pope Francis Rigidly Promotes His Progressive Priorities

I thank Vox Cantoris for pointing out the pope's mindset that underlies his rhetoric and actions in two areas.  Let's look at priestly formation, for starters.  Rorate Caeli analyzed a talk that the Pope gave to a group of Jesuits a few months back.  In it he lamented "rigidity" in the priestly formation in traditional circles.  Notice how he slyly insinuates that when a young man is "too confident, rigid and fundamentalist", then he might be "mentally ill".  Of seminary teaching he laments "educating in light of overly clear and distinct ideas".  Then he talks about the "dynamics of personal discernment, which respects the law  but knows how to go beyond."

There's much to unpack here.  First, let's look at the phrase "overly clear".  Most sane people would agree that clarity is a good to be desired.  Clarity is tied to truth.  How is it possible to be "overly clear" or "overly truthful"?  If one lessens the truth or clarity, then one is engaging in dishonesty and obfuscation, right?

Now let's address that second quip about the "rigidity" indicating "mental illness".  This is nothing short of slander directed at young men, aspiring to the priesthood, who exert much effort to follow God's immutable commands.  And yes, God's commands are quite clear.  For instance, "thou shalt not commit adultery" does not admit of any exception.  Does the pope find that "overly clear"?  Well, perhaps he needs to take that up with the Author of that "rigid"command.

This dovetails right into that last quote: "respect the law but know how to go beyond".  If one is going beyond what God's law says is permissible, he/she should drop any pretense of "respecting the law".  "Respect" is just a mental game played by those who would justify thumbing their noses at God's law, and ultimately God Himself.

So, as far as Pope Francis is concerned, is everything up for "discernment" and "accompaning on the journey"?  Is everything to be considered free of "rigidity"?  Surprisingly, NO!  There are some matters, according to this pontiff, that are to be considered set in stone, that admit of no divergence of opinion whatsoever.  These are matters that are indicative of his real loves and mindsets.

Today he addressed the Pontifical Academy of Sciences regarding "climate change".  He said it's "indispensible to create a regulatory system that includes inviolable limits and ensure the protection of ecosystems" blah-blah-blah.  "Indispensible"!  "Inviolable"!   Hmmm!  Sounds like rather "rigid" language to me!  Where does "knowing how to go beyond" fit in with this paradigm?  So the Teachings of Jesus Christ as revealed through His Church is subject to "gray areas" but "climate change" junk sciene is sacrosanct?

Let's look at this "regulatory system".  Who will be controlling this "regulatory system"?  The pope never got around to divulging that teensy detail, but one can imagine that the UN (Useless Nincompoops) would have their hand in that, along with George Soros and other assorted oligarchs.  Over the years I've done many posts on the menace of environmentalism.  As you read the posts, you'll notice that one underlying motive to this movement is the deconstruction of western civilization and its Christian roots.  In particular, pay close attention to this post, noticing the three motives that seem to be underlying this junk science (and watch the video).

Unless we believe that the pope is a total idiot, we must concede that he is in cahoots with the progressives and their agendas.  Owing to his position as Vicar of Christ, he is poised to spread the poison of progressivism.   Many Catholics at one time were naive in their disbelief of this problem.  While some continue their pollyanna-esque blindness, an increasing number are admitting that the ever-mounting pile of evidence is shattering their illusions.  Some of these, though, are now trying to ignore the problem, pretending that it has no relevance to their lives.  This blog joins with the Remnant in stating that we cannot be indifferent and silent with respect to the harm being caused by this papacy, for souls are at stake.

Pope Claims Environmentalism A Work Of Mercy - At Soros' Bidding?

Remember "Father Goodvibes"?  At the end of that post, I expressed my hopes that such a scenario would remain a parody.  Alas, such is not to be, as Pope Francis has swallowed the envirowhacko kool-aid.  Moreover, it seems that he's trying to force-feed Catholics that same poison on pain of sin!

Earlier today, at the "World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation", the pope called "global warming" a "sin against God", and must be "atoned" by recycling, separating trash, using public transportation, etc.  For different accounts of the nonsense, see here, here, here.  He has gone so far as to designate "care of creation" as a de facto "Eighth Corporal Work of Mercy".

Far from being a "work of mercy", the embrace of environmentalism is to embrace knowingly the demonic, anti-life dictates of Satan himself.  I and others have written extensively on:
  • The lack of true scientific basis for the "global warming" hysteria.  Many scientists debunk the nonsense - and have paid dearly for it.  Please read this link, and the links embedded therein.  I strongly suggest watching the well-researched videos.
  • The anti-life motives of key leaders of this "global warming" schtick.  More and more they are becoming quite brazen about their goals.
The linked post in the last bullet highlighted the possible role that George Soros may be playing in this whole mess.  We see in discoverthenetworks.org that Soros funds EarthJustice and Defenders of Wildlife.  Human Events reveals some of his envirowhacko dabblings.  Last week we learned that Soros gave $650 billion (not million but billion) to PICO and Faith In Public Life to sway bishops to doing his bidding.  Father Sirico of the Acton Institute elaborated on that, calling these groups "Soros's Catholic Useful Idiots".  Well, maybe these groups aren't the only "useful idiots" in Soros' back pocket.  That may well apply to the pope himself, as he deliberately uses the weight of his high office to attempt to bind the consciences of Catholics into accepting "global warming" junk science.

"What's that you say?" I hear the rose-glasses wearers shrieking.  Well, the only other alternative is to suspect that the pope is a knowing and willing henchman of Soros', if not a partner.

We must of course pray for the pope, that he takes up his task to defend the Teachings of Jesus Christ, not twist them to suit some well-heeled progressive megalomaniac.

From The Ecumenicide Department - Death By Dialogue

Via Church Militant, I learned today that the USCCB is launching a new group called "National Catholic-Muslim Dialogue" to establish "mutual esteem", "greater understanding" and a "deep sense of trust".  This organization will be co-chaired by a Catholic and a muslim.  While the muslim is yet to be announced, the Catholic co-chair will be Archbishop Blaise Cupich.  Given what I've written about him in earlier posts, we can well wonder what could possibly go right with this looming debacle.

In that list of oh-so-lofty goals, there is no mention whatsoever of preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the One True Faith to the lost souls that are the muslims.  As mentioned in yesterday's post, the Church's one mission is to save souls (Clergy!  Burn that into your memories!).  With all this jibber-jabber about "dialogue", the saving of souls will not be happening at these little gab-fests.  "But Jesus dialogued with people!", some might protest.  No He didn't.  He certainly had conversations with people, but they were not "dialogues" between equals.  He always taught, preached, exhorted, rebuked - always the conversations were between Master and disciples (unless the exchanges were malevolent, as with Caiaphas, Pilate, Pharisees, etc).  Never did He condescend to be regarded as "just one of the guys".

It seems like all sorts of substitutes are being put before our eyes to distract us from the salvation of souls.  With yesterday's post we see the distraction-du-jour was thinly-disguised gaia worship.  Today's revelation by Church Militant points to indifferentism.  I'm going to post below a commentary by Michael Matt regarding the yesterday's homage to environmentalism for he suggests a larger context to all of these pet projects of the vatican.

Where Is The REAL Care For God's Creation???

My colleague at One Peter Five put up the pope's latest video regarding environmentalism.  As he stated in this commentary, this video explicitly extols the idolatry of "earth worship" before the worship of the One True God.  The stench of idolatry billows forth from the first few moments of the clip till the very end.

Notice that "believers and unbelievers" are told that they "agree that the earth is our common heritage".  Then the pope asks, "however, what is happening to the world we live in"?  In a word, it's called "sin" and it manifests itself in much more significant ways than in some trash on a beach.  Its spiritually deadly effects are manifest in sexual immorality, murders of babies, elderly and other innocents, the persecution of Christians in once-civilized countries.  Please note that it is the latter group of sins that can and will damn souls to hell; trash on a beach won't do that.

Let's look at that phrase "earth is our common heritage".  No, that's not why God created man.  Let's hearken back to the Baltimore Catechism.  Why did God make man?  God made man to know, love and serve Him in this world and to be happy with Him in the next.  God created man to be with Him in heaven, not to be focused on this earth (good as it may be in and of itself).  It is the God-given mission of the Church to help souls get to heaven - that's it!  Anything else is ancillary and must be explicitly aimed at the ultimate end of eternal salvation.  Watch the video carefully.  Are the words "heaven", "soul", "repentance", "salvation" mentioned therein at least once?

At the 0:48 mark, the pope states that "we need a change that unites us all".  That change is the conversion of every person to the Roman Catholic Church.  Unless that happens, any unity will at best be very temporary and at worst, a cheap and dangerous facade of true unity.  Read the book of Genesis. It's worth noting that in the very beginning, there was true earthly harmony in creation.  It was only after the sin of our first parents that creation fell out of harmony.  That harmony won't be restored until there is conversion to the One True Faith and attendant obedience to the Church in matters of faith and morals.  At the 0:57 mark, we see the pope hoping that we "be free from the slavery of consumerism".  Well, how about "freedom from sin"?  

The absence of the call for conversion to Catholism in this video constitutes true indifference to the pinnacle of God's creation, i.e., man for if there is no explicit and overt effort to bring about conversion to the One True Faith, there is no real concern for God's creation.

Attention Vatican! Envirowhackoism Is NOT Magisterial Teaching

A December 3rd Acton Institute conference in Rome saw a close papal adviser make statements about the Magisterium that are, well, not in keeping with Church tradition.  The bishop in question is Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo.  He unabashedly stated that the politically correct and scientifically unsound envirowhackoism as espoused by progressives is to be considered part of the magisterium.  Why?  Because the pope included it in Laudato Si.  LifeSiteNews has a full report.

The bishop found himself contradicted by Acton president Father Robert Sirico and journalist Ricardo Cascioli.  Sorondo then uttered this incredible nonsense as the definition of the magisterium: When the Pope has assumed this, it is Magisterium of the Church whether you like it or not..

Got that?  According to him, mere assumption is enough to constitute Church teaching.  Of course that is poppycock.  At the very least, any such "assumption" must be in conformity with already-established Church teaching, and that teaching states that the pope can speak infallibly only on matters of faith and morals.

My Catholic Media Coalition colleague at Les Femmes also commented on this bishop's foolish pronouncement, one that Father Fessio called an "embarrassment to the Church".  As I mentioned in her comments, this bishop was merely parroting the pope.  I now link to a piece published by Catholic Citizens of Illinois (another Catholic Media Coalition member).  It is by Carl Olson, editor of Catholic World Report.  He writes about the many gaffes that this current pontiff has uttered and the damage done by them.  I daresay this latest nonsense by Bishop Sorondo claiming that Laudato Si is defined dogma of the Church is just the latest example of the havoc being caused by these regrettable papal statements.

Why The Vatican Light Show Was Utterly Evil

LifeSiteNews published a piece that analyzes in great detail the sinister symbolism used in the Vatican Light Show Debacle on December 8th.  As I stated last Thursday, I immediately recognized the new age influences in the music and noise.  However, when I watched the videos embedded in the LifeSite piece, I realized that I didn't grasp half of the evil that was contained in that horror show.

To think that Vatican officials - including the pope - were responsible for allowing this satanic sacrilege to besmirch St. Peter's Basilica is distressing.  Please read the article and watch the videos.  Then resolve to work and pray for the restoration of Holy Mother Church.

Vatican Allows Evil To Dance On St Peter's Grave

Collective Self-Portrait Of The Honchos
Behind This Sacrilege
On Saturday I posted about the "light show" at the Vatican which has since happened.  I and many others voiced apprehension at the thought of desecration.  Sadly we were correct.  What happened on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception was an unmitigated abomination.  On a day that the Church is to honor the Mother of God, the Vatican did homage to the false idol "mother earth" and worshiped many other idols at the same time.

 LifeSiteNews has some commentary that is worth reading, as does ChurchMilitant.TV.  The latter had the full you-tube of the debacle, and I repost it below.  Note: You may want to skip to the 9:30 mark to get past the useless footage of the set-up and people milling about.

When it does start, you'll notice immediately the new-age influence of the music (that is, when you don't hear animals roaring or birds chirping).  The candle sequence at 14:15 strikes me as quite luciferian and I can swear that it sounds like Darth Vader breathing in the background.  It goes on like this with a "city zoo" cacophony of animal noises, etc.  At the 37:00 mark we hear some ominous music and we watch (wait for it!) icebergs melting!  What new-age envirowhacko agitprop would be complete without one of those scenes?  We're then treated to so-called evidence of the havoc that we awful humans have wreaked upon mother-gaia-earth.  At the 58:00 mark, we see bees coming at us, no doubt to exact vengeance upon us dastardly humans.

Obviously this thing was put together to lay upon us a major guilt trip for our "carbon foot prints" and how they're destroying the "poor animals".  But consider the "carbon footprint" that was generated in the production of this agit-prop.  Boys and girls, can we all say "hypocrisy"?

By the way - did you see one, just one, picture of Christ or the Blessed Mother or other saints?  Neither did I.  Not one, even though this was held in the Vatican.  This thing was unmitigated evil.  The basilica is where the bones of Peter are.  In allowing this evil to be cast upon the basilica, the Vatican allowed idolaters to dance upon the grave of the first Vicar of Christ.

Vatican Officials To Profane St. Peter's Basilica With Light Show Abomination

"When therefore you shall see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place: he that readeth let him understand." Matthew 26:15, Douay-Reims

Will next week's planned light-show farce be the abomination about which Our Lord prophesied?  While we hope not, that is a possibility that I wouldn't be quick to dismiss.  What cannot be disputed that it will be a true abomination, a deliberate foisting of profanation and idolatry upon St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

I first saw the news in LifeSiteNews.  This farce, spearheaded by the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization and its head, Archbishop Fisichella, is scheduled to happen on December 8th, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and is meant to usher in the "year of mercy".  The main theme of the garish spectacle will be environmentalism.  In the words of Fisichella, "these illuminations will present images inspired of mercy, of humanity, of the natural world and of climate changes".

LifeSiteNews uncovered the plethora of progressive and pro-abortion organizations that have their hands in the production of the idolatry.  Several of them are named after Roman and Greek idols; I refer you to the LifeSiteNews link for further details on these.  I'd also suggest you take a look at this anthology of posts I've done over the years concerning environmentalism.  Included in these posts is an expose done by Michael Voris a few years ago detailing the anti-life and idolatrous underpinnings of environmentalism.  What will happen in a few days ago is nothing short of a celebration of idolatry, and it literally will be thrust upon the facade of St. Peter's Basilica.

If this is what Fisichella considers to be part and parcel of "new evangelism", perhaps the "new evangelism" needs to be pitched in the trash.  The "old evangelism" worked quite well until progressives infested the clergy with the sort of modernist trash that will sully the image of the Vatican next week.  When that is expunged from the Church, the truth can be proclaimed with clarity and no gimmicks.  Then we'll see conversions.

The fact that the debacle is occurring on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is also a supreme insult to Our Lady.  But there could be a silver lining on that cloud.  That day is a Holy Day of Obligation.  Let's offer up our Mass that day in reparation for the profanation and idolatry that will have occurred.  We can also storm heaven now for a miracle that will prevent this scandal.

Yikes! More Papal Bombs From A Plane Interview!

I'm beginning to wonder about the composition of the air that is pumped into the plane cabin while Pope Francis jets around, for gaffes and errors abound each time.  These occurred today as he was en route from Africa to Rome and gave yet another debacle interview.

He took the occasion to rail against "fundamentalist Catholics".  Let's look at the word "fundamental", shall we?  From the Oxford dictionary we see that the word can be either noun or adjective.  The "noun" definition is: "a central or primary rule or principle on which something is based".  The "adjective" definition is: "forming a necessary base or core; of central importance".   Merriam-Webster defines "fundamental" as "serving as an original or generating source; serving as a basis supporting existence or determining essential structure or function".

I'm not sure just why the pope is using the word "fundamentalist" as a de facto insult.  He means it to be condescending - but is it really?  Using the definitions of the dictionaries as stated above, the "fundamentalist Catholic" hearkens back to the Teachings of Jesus Christ and the mission that He gave to the Church: to save souls.  The "fundamentalist Catholic" understands that God's laws of life and morality must be obeyed and that no measure of "social justice" can ever supplant these basic tenants.  The "fundamentalist Catholic" understands the inherent immorality and atheism that underlies socialism and will eschew any social novelties that only serve to make socialism more palatable to the public.  He/she will cut through any obfuscation of Catholic doctrine, no matter how artfully constructed such obfuscation might be and no matter how camouflaged it may be with items that may be good or pleasing in themselves.

He erroneously equated "fundamentalist Catholics" with "fundamentalist muslims".  Consider that the latter go back to the basics of their doctrines, that is, the Quran.  Therein lies their fundamental precepts for jihad, for "killing the infidel", etc.  The fundamentals of Catholicism and the fundamentals of Islam are by no means equivalent.  Ironically the muslims understand that point more clearly than does the Vicar of Christ.

Then the topic of condoms was broached, particularly as a strategy for dealing with AIDS.  Here the pope's brain-train really jumped the rails.  His thoughts seem to be an indecipherable mish-mash of ideas grasped out of thin air with no unifying principle.  All in all, he seemed to forget that one may not do evil that good may come of it.  Condoms block the sexual act from their procreative purpose; the use of them is always inherently evil.  That's one key reason why his "healing on the Sabbath" quote doesn't logically follow, for healing as the Lord did is not inherently evil.

But he immediately says that is a "small wound", with the "serious wounds" being the whole litany of "social gospel" topics: arms trade, environment, etc.  Now we can see why the pope railed against the "fundamental Catholics" for they understand that contraceptive sex - and sex outside of marriage - unleashes untold evils that really do dwarf "arms trades" and others in terms of destructive effects.

He also spoke of the UN climate conference that is getting underway in Paris.  He said it is most likely humanity's last chance to thwart global environmental disaster, stating that the world was "at the limits of suicide".  He complained about "retreating glaciers", when in fact the opposite is occurring!

However, there are serious environmental concerns revealed during this interview, but as mentioned at the beginning of this piece, the real environmental crisis is inside the planes in which the pope gives these horrendous interviews.
