Rad Trads Being The Dupes Of The New World Order

As part of my efforts to glean and report on events vital to the Church, I peruse Facebook.  On it I encounter all sorts of people from the truly concerned fathful Catholic to clueless and obstinate people.  Those people are what we call the "far left" and "far right".  For the purpose of this post, I'll focus on the latter, for I think their spewings can cause the most confusion among other faithful Catholics who are trying to sort through the mess made by progressives throughout the years.

Every once in a while these "rad trads" will spew nonsense that hearkens to Catholic-sounding stuff that isn't really Catholic.  For instance, they often will rail against free speech, claiming that "error has no rights".  From then they will segue into the evils of the United States Constitution, particularly the First Amendment.  They claim that the First Amendment is how the United States government gives approval for pornography and religious errors.

Let's look at the First Amendment.  I'll quote it here, as it isn't too long.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So where, oh where, is all this express allowance for pornography and the such?  I don't see it.  The Founding Fathers never insinuated that all speech is moral.  They simply stated that it is not the role of Federal Government to decide those matters.  The first 10 amendments are collectively known asa the Bill of Rights.  Their primary function is to place limits on the powers of the Federal Government.  That's it.

This same First Amendment means that these "rad trads" can spew such nonsense against their government, and not fear any reprisal.  I'm sure that they take their free speech rights for granted.  I'm also sure that this irony escapes them.

Then they'll whine on about the Constitution not being founded on Catholic principles.  Well, of course it wasn't because Catholics have always been a minority in this country.  Admittedly I would like to see more Catholicism in the Constitution.  However, there is a way to fix that, and that is by amendment to the Constitution - a process put in place by those "evil" founding fathers.  But that entails getting involved in US political processes, and here again is where "rad trads" engage in massive mental disconnects.

There are a few of them who actually hold to something called the "divine right of kings".  Believing that ordinary citizens should have no say, they will rail against the heresy of Americanism.  Yes, that actually is a heresy, but not what they think it is.  They will cite Pope Leo XIII's letter to Cardinal Gibbons in 1899 titled Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae as their authority.  Ok.  I linked to it.  Let's take a look at it.  Leo is cautioning the US bishops against several specific matters:
  • The underlying principle of these new opinions is that, in order to more easily attract those who differ from her, the Church should shape her teachings more in accord with the spirit of the age and relax some of her ancient severity and make some concessions to new opinions. Many think that these concessions should be made not only in regard to ways of living, but even in regard to doctrines which belong to the deposit of the faith. 
  • the confounding of license with liberty, the passion for discussing and pouring contempt upon any possible subject, the assumed right to hold whatever opinions one pleases upon any subject and to set them forth in print to the world, have so wrapped minds in darkness that there is now a greater need of the Church’s teaching office than ever before, lest people become unmindful both of conscience and of duty
  • From this disregard of the – angelical virtues, erroneously styled passive, the step was a short one to a contempt of the religious life which has in some degree taken hold of minds. That such a value is generally held by the upholders of new views, we infer from certain statements concerning the vows which religious orders take. They say vows are alien to the spirit of our times, in that they limit the bounds of human liberty; that they are more suitable to weak than ›o strong minds; that so far from making for human perfection and the good of human organization
Read the letter for yourselves.  I see no indication that the pope was condemning our system of government outright (by the way, it is a constitutional republic, not a democracy).  In fact he remained totally neutral on it as a system of civil government.  He did NOT yap and yammer about the "divine right of kings".

One favorite bone of contention is about elections, and the fact that often very flawed men are running for the same office.  In a given election, both candidates may support intrinsic evils, but to widely varying extents.  Regardless of these facts, they simply refuse to vote, to participate in that election whatsoever.  They claim that they cannot support evil, no matter how much "evil" is involved.  They fail - or refuse to - acknowledge that a vote is not always about advocacy but can be simply damage control.  I thought that such obstinacy was simply being simplistic, but the ferocity and bombastic stances that they take cause me to suspect that a good deal of virtue-signalling may be occuring.  The most recent "case in point" was the 2016 presidential election between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton.  I've written much in the past to illustrate that it was a moral evil to deny Trump one's vote; I needn't rehash it all now as you can go to this collection of my previous posts.

I will now post a video done by Michael Matt of the Remnant TV.  He points out that after this Amazon Synod, the masks are coming off the progressives in the Vatican - and that includes the pope.  They are attempting to implement the Sustainable Develop goals of the United Nations, a dream of theirs for quite a while.  They knew that they had some formidable obstacles that stood in the way of their "one world rule" goal.  One of them was the Catholic Church so they worked for years to subvert it.  This synod is a clear sign that they have the pope on their side.  Another obstacle to them is the United States under the leadership of Donald Trump.  They are now working to undermine him, as he is succeeding in his goals of strengthening the USA against its outside adversaries, making it less likely that the USA will swallow the "one world rule" mantra.  That is why the progressive USCCB recently lamented Trump's decision to pull the US out of that insidious Paris Agreement.  They aim to derail Trump's work.

Obviously they will want to defeat Trump in the 2020 elections.  The progresives will pull no stops to do so.  The real question is, will these #nevertrump "rad-trads" be able to see past their egotistic virtue-signaling, or will they be willing dupes of the progressives as they seek to remove one of their few obstacles to global dominance?  Now the video follows..

Prayer Of Reparation For the Idolatrous Acts During The Last Synod For The Amazon

Bishop Athanasius Schneider, who earlier extolled the heroism of Alexander Tschuguell and his friends for purging the Church of the heinous pachamama idols, has suggested that faithful Catholics everywhere pray the following prayer. 

I should note that the bishop believes (and I agree) that the pachamama crap is a tool of the progressives to usher in a new banal "religion" to supplant Catholicism and that they've been attempting that since the Vatican II council.

I reproduce the bishop's prayer below for your own prayerful use.

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, receive through the hands of the Immaculate Mother of God and Ever Virgin Mary from our contrite heart a sincere act of reparation for the acts of worship of wooden idols and symbols during the Synod for the Amazon, which occurred in Rome, the Eternal City, the heart of the Catholic world. Pour out in the heart of Our Holy Father Pope Francis, of the Cardinals, of the Bishops, of priests and lay faithful, your Spirit, who will expel the darkness of their minds, so that they might recognize the impiety of such acts, which offended your Divine majesty and offer to you public and private acts of reparation. 

 Pour out in all members of the Church the light of the fullness and beauty of the Catholic Faith. Enkindle in them the burning zeal of bringing the salvation of Jesus Christ, true God and true man, to all men, especially the people in the Amazon region, who still are enslaved in the service of feeble material and perishable things, as the deaf and mute symbols and idols of “mother earth.” Enkindle the light of faith in those persons, especially in the persons of the Amazonian tribes who do not yet possess the liberty of the children of God, and who do not have the unspeakable happiness of knowing Jesus Christ and having in Him a participation in the life of your Divine nature. 

 Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you are the one true God, besides Whom there is no other god and no salvation, have mercy on your Church. Look especially upon the tears and contrite and humble sighs of the little ones in the Church. Look upon the tears and prayers of the little children, of the adolescents, of young men and young women, of the fathers and mothers of families and also of the true Christian heroes, who in their zeal for your glory and in their love for Mother Church threw into the water the symbols of abomination which defiled her. Have mercy on us: spare us, O Lord, parce Domine, parce Domine! Have mercy on us: Kyrie eleison! Amen.”

Prayer Needed At USCCB Meeting Next Week

From my blogging colleague at Les Femmes

Dear Friends,

   Please join me next Tuesday, November 12 (Sorrowful Mysteries) and next Wednesday, November 13 (Glorious Mysteries) to pray the Rosary outside the Marriott Waterfront Hotel where Bishops from across America will be having their Annual Fall Meeting.

   Our intention is to honor Our Lady of America who, according to reliable sources, appeared numerous times to Sister Mildred Mary Neuzil in Rome City, Indiana.  On September 26, 1956, Our Lady appeared to Sister Mildred holding a scale Model of the Shrine of The Immaculate Conception, then under construction in Washington, D.C. It was completed in 1959. Her request was that her sons and daughters dedicate themselves to living lives of Purity. 
   Her specific request was that her statue as she appeared to Sister Mildred be processed into the Shrine where it could be properly venerated. If that request was fulfilled, our Beloved America would become a Role Model for Purity around the WorldAlso, the miracles that would follow in America would exceed those of Fatima and Lourdes combined!

   So please join myself, other PRO-LIFERS, and Catholic Media Coalition members both days, Tuesday and Wednesday, at 12:40 pm on the water front side of the Marriott Waterfront Hotel, 700 Aliceanna Street, Baltimore 21202.

   On Wednesday, Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas will tentatively lead us. We are trying to have another prominent Catholic Leader lead the Rosary on Tuesday. Come both days if you possibly can!
 
Long Live Christ Our King!

Taylor Marshall Interviews George Neumayr About Confrontation With Fr Martin

A few days ago, Taylor Marshall interviewed George Neumayr.  A week or two prior to that interview, Neumayr attended a talk given by Fr. James Martin and was able, in a "q&a" session, to make Martin publicly squirm.

Many interesting things are said in the video below.  I call your attention to remarks made at the 17:00 mark and at the 40:37 mark.  Both men are remarking how the pope's tinkering with the Church's perennial teaching on the death penalty paved the way for other more recent insults to tradtion.  I made the exact same point in several of my earlier posts over a year ago, particularly this one and this one.

Then at the 39:57 mark, Neumayr states that we have to be willing to confront error head-on as he did with Martin.  Gone are the days when we could just do with writing letters to ask prelates not to honor heretics, almost groveling in the process.  We must be willing to make the evil-coddlers uncomfortable in their toadying.  I'll most likely have more on that in a future post.

Please listen to the entire video.

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?

Some Ominous Artwork From The Vatican

This first picture is meant to commemorate the pope's upcoming visit to Thailand.  The second commemorated the World Youth Day of 2019.

Doesn't it seem like in both instances that Christian symbols are being devoured by monsters?  The Barque of Peter by a sea monster?  The Crucifix by a serpent?

This is no accident!

Cofounder Of Human Rights Campaign - A Statutory Rapist?

First, a little background regarding how the Human Rights Campaign and I have crossed swords over the years.  In Montgomery County MD, I fought several pushes to advance the gay-nazi agenda: gay #mowwidge, allowing perverts to come into women's rest rooms, etc.  After Father Guarnizo denied Holy Communion to the lesbian, they were instrumental in having him expelled from the Archdiocese of Washington.  They were, and still are, major players in cramming the gay codswallop down our throats.

Today LifeSiteNews revealed that one of HRC's cofounders, Terry Bean, is in trouble for committing statutory rape on a 15-year old boy.  Beam and his lawyer attempted to bribe the boy into silence.  Somehow the Portland police learned of the scheme and now Beam is once again under fire.

The LifeSiteNews article states that the HRC removed Bean's name from their online lists of leaders in 2014, when the initial charges were filed.  Be that as it may, once something appears on the internet, it really never goes away.  That is because web crawlers are constantly copying pages and archiving them.  One such archive page is "web(dot)archive(dot)org".  It truly is a handy little site and the telling page is here.  Moreover, the wikipedia page for Beam plainly states that Bean co-founded HRC.

Surprised?  I'm not.  Organizations founded with the purpose of promoting grave evils are often established and/or run by people embroiled in those evils themselves.

Alexander Tschugguel, In The Spirit Of St Boniface, One Of Those Who Purged Pachamama Filth

This young man from Austria is founder of the St Boniface Institute.  He has now released a video to explain why he and a friend felt compelled to rid the Catholic Church of pagan, idolatrous filth.  Please go to that website to see that video that contains his statement on the episode.

You can also donate to the St Boniface Institute.  In fact, if anyone is looking for a more worthy recipient of your November donation dollars than the CCHD, I'd highly recommend them.  Caveat - this website, being Austrian, accepts only Euros; here's a converter you might use and others exist.

So far, the faithful Catholic media outlets that have interviewed Tschugguel include LifeSiteNews and ChurchMilitant.  I hope there are more - more people like Tschugguel.

And they are cropping up.  This past Sunday in the Archdiocese of Mexico City, Father Hugo Valdemar burned an effigy of the pachamama and offered prayers of reparation for the sins of idolatry.  Here is the LifeSiteNews article and I'll post this video now.

Coming To A Parish Near You, Maybe Your Own

Bishop Erwin Krautler claimed that the pachamama idols can "be integrated into our liturgy".  GloriaTV then caught him in flagrant double-speak.  Recall that Krautler is the bishop who states that he never baptized a single Amazon native and doesn't plan ever to do so - in direct disobedience to Jesus Christ.

I believe Krautler when he said he never baptized anyone.  I also understand that he will try to insinuate all sorts of blasphemies into Holy Mass.  Consider my post from Monday the 28th and the video of the Mass.  At the 53:04 mark you can see the plant being carried in.  One might ask why was the video camera focused so much on it; was the operator of the recorder privy to the plot to besmirch the altar, and this focus was a bit of a gloat?

I'm bringing all this up for I believe there will be attempts to sneak some idolatry into our Masses.  It probably isn't imminent, but they will wait some time so that the memories of the pachamama statues will fade.  Then we might not tend to be alert to these dangers.  Will we prove them right?

Back to the video, as you watch the procession, you'll notice that the plant is the last "gift" to ascend to the altar - as though the bread and wine were mere "opening acts", so to speak (around the 55:00 mark).  At the 55:41 mark, the pope accepts the plant from the woman.  As far as I can tell, the plant was the only gift that the pope himself handled.  He handed it to an acolyte who them placed it on the altar.  At the 56:19 mark, the focus is on the plant - not the bread, not the wine, but the plant!  Don't tell me that this whole Mass, complete with recording, was not an orchestrated attempt to do covert homage to the pachamama demon!  The presence of any plant on an altar is a violation of GIRM, but this is rank idolatry to boot.  This is an abomination brought into God's holy church.

Ladies and gentlemen, we must be alert in the following months - particularly if you are in a locale that tends towards the progressive mindset.  We are going to have to consider our response if we see similar debacles unfold before our very eyes.  It is best that we plan now so as to be prepared, rather than be caught unawares.
