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.

Deconstruction Of Church Tradition Under Pope Francis
After the grotesque display of satanic idolatry at St Peter's Basilica on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, we continue to see increasingly blatant attempts to deconstruct Church teaching. Many of these attempts are from high Church officials, including Pope Francis.
Thanks to Toronto Catholic Witness, I was directed to the homily that Pope Francis gave on December 8th to inaugurate the "jubilee of mercy". This is on the Vatican's website. Here is the troubling passage: "Before all else, the Council was an encounter. A genuine encounter between the Church and the men and women of our time. An encounter marked by the power of the Spirit, who impelled the Church to emerge from the shoals which for years had kept her self-enclosed so as to set out once again..." (emphasis mine)
I agree with TCW that in that phrase, Pope Francis spit in the eye all his predecessors, some of them saints, blesseds and doctors of the Church, precisely because they acted as shepherds who guarded their flocks. While this pope might prefer that we take the "smell of the sheep", his predecessors (by and large) sought to preserve the Church in the odor of sanctity.
In a recent interview, Cardinal Turkson, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace said that "some form of birth control" might help with "overpopulation" and resultant "food shortage". He also stated it could help with "climate change". He then reminded us all of the shameful way in which Pope Francis treated the woman who was expecting her eighth child. It would be an interesting thing if that eighth child were to confront the pope and tell him a thing or two, but I digress!
He must have realized his Freudian slip for he tried to backpedal, saying only "natural forms of birth control" were acceptable. I don't buy it; else, why would he have used the general, nebulous "some form" descriptor for birth control? More importantly, periodic abstinence from marital relations cannot be equated with what is commonly referred to as "birth control". Voice of the Family is correct in opining that Turkson's remarks do lend credibility to the attempts to divorce marital relations from the procreation of children. They certainly do make plain the linkage between "climate change" junk science with population control.
According to the Guardian, a Vatican document (name unknown) exhorts Catholics not to attempt to convert Jews to Christianity. This document is from the Vatican commission for relationships with Jews. Boys and girls, can you say "ecumenicide"? You probably noticed during Triduum services that the traditional prayer for Jews to come to Christianity has been scuttled in recent years, so this manifestation of ecumenicide predates the current pontiff. Now what was that again that we read in the Bible, at the end of several Gospels, where Jesus commands (not "suggest", not "request", but "command") the Apostles to baptize all "in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"? Or did the "god of surprises" change his mind?
As I read of this, I think of what St Paul wrote in several of his letters, how he wished that all his brother Jews would be converted. I also think of St. Vincent Ferrar, who once marched into a synagogue, started preaching and converted thousands of Jews on the spot. Paul! Vincent! Naughty-naughty! Stop that now! Leave the Jews (and others) to wallow in darkness! Don't you know that we must be ecumenical? Seriously though, how can one talk with a straight face about a "year of mercy" and yet not seek to bring others to the font of mercy, that is, Jesus Christ, who acts through His Church?
My blogging colleague Julie at Connecticut Catholic Corner put up a piece today entitled "The New Age Of Pope Francis' Church". Read it for I concur with her. I too pray for a holy pope who will save souls. At this time, it appears that this pope will not be Pope Francis, but only God knows. Let us pray.

Vatican Allows Evil To Dance On St Peter's Grave

| Collective Self-Portrait Of The Honchos Behind This Sacrilege |
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.
