By His Draconian Treatment Of Father Justin Wylie, Has Cardinal Dolan Shown His True Colors?
Father Justin Wylie, a priest of the Archdiocese of Johannesburg, South Africa was on assignment to New York City as he worked for the Holy See at the United Nations. He was a popular priest at Holy Innocents and greatly championed the Mass in the Extraordinary Form. On May 18th, his sermon included an exhortation for the Archdiocese of New York to send sympathetic priests to shepherd those who had devotion to the Extraordinary Form. For that, not only were his faculties in the Archdiocese of New York revoked, but the Dolan crew saw fit to complain to the Holy See and to the Archdiocese of Johannesburg. I suspect that if Father Wylie had been incardinated in the Archdiocese of New York, he might have found himself laicized.
Renew America, in addition to linking to Father Wylie's sermon, mentions that the Archdiocese plans to have Holy Innocents subsumed into St Francis of Assisi parish. Notice what's on the main page of St Francis of Assisi's website; they are touting their (drums and trumpets, please!) PRE-PRIDE MASS! It doesn't take much imagination to surmise that this is not much more than a pep rally for the Gay Pride orgy that will occur in NYC soon thereafter. The parish has a "gay and lesbian ministry". Odd - I cannot seem to locate their pro-life ministry!
So Cardinal Dolan thinks that Holy Innocent Church should be absorbed into that progressive hornets' nest known as St Francis of Assisi Church? Perhaps this plan sheds some light on the question asked in this post's title.
The Vortex has weighed in on this matter. Voris reminds all of another gay-infested NYC church, St. Francis Xavier, with the obvious approval of Cardinal Dolan. He thinks that many don't remember the incident shown in his clip of St. Francis Xavier. I do for I posted that video when the news of the incident broke. Why is a healthy Church like Holy Innocents being shuttered, while heresy-infested parishes like St Francis of Assisi and St Francis Xavier allowed to remain, and in their current states? Again, a rhetorical question.

Follow-Up To Situation At St Francis Xavier Church In Manhattan

Narcissism And Dissidence
Notice how he's standing in the light, in the center of the thing, while the Holy Family is shoved into a corner, partially obscured by shadows? And why are his hands folded in a manner that hides his pectoral cross? I also can't help but notice the rainbow; is that a nod to the cabal that seems to control the Vatican?
Now for another more glaring instance of the narcissism found in dissidents, I just became aware through LifeSiteNews that the pastor of St. Francis Xavier in Manhattan has been removed due to "boundary violations" with an "adult male who attended the parish". The pervert's name is Father Bob VerEecke, S.J. The acting pastor claims there was "nothing criminal", just "lack of good judgment". This acting pastor's name is Father Daniel Corrou. Given his dismissive platitude, I am none too confident in Corrou's fitness for his new position.
I've written plenty about that parish over the years, given their coddling of gays. Now it turns out that the pastor is himself gay. Is he also a narcissist? Go back to the LifeSiteNews article and watch the video to see how he profaned Pentecost Mass in 2017. By the way - should that video "disappear", please notify me via comments for I took the precaution to download that evidence of corruption.

During Pope's Visit, The Gay Agenda Is Shilled Ad Nauseum
I've chronicled much about Dolan's many insults to the teachings of Jesus Christ, including those regarding sexuality. Let me list a few, with links for review.
- He claimed to hope for "delicacy" while ignoring the attacks on faithful Christians.
- He was Grand Marshall in the most recent St Patrick's parade, even though they allowed a gay-rights group to march with them. When Michael Voris questioned him about it at the parade, Dolan had Voris ejected from his presence.
- He allowed St Francis of Assisi parish to host a "pre-pride mass" before the gay orgy in the streets last summer.
- He earned the nickname "Cardinal Bravo" for that was his reaction when a college football start came out as gay.
- He refuses to confront NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, supposedly a Catholic, over his many public sins: support of abortion, support of the gay lifestyle and his public fornication with the First Concubine of New York.
- Several years ago, when Dolan was the main celebrant at St. Francis Xavier and the "gay ministry" was presented to him, he openly evinced approval of their gay-shilling activities.
- Of course he joined in the deafening silence of the nation's bishops regarding Kim Davis' plight last month.
With the above in mind, consider some of the individuals who were placed in positions of authority at the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, where the pope also put in an appearance. Thanks to the work of the Lepanto Institute, we had learned that the president of World Meeting of Families has been a regular donor to pro-abortion political candidates. Now we have learned, again thanks to Lepanto, that Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter was named Honorary Co-Chair of the World Meeting of Families. In his political career, he has promoted abortion and "LGBT rights". Lepanto attempted several time to contact the Archdiocese of Philadelphia but they never responded. It is reasonable to believe that all this was done with the approval of Archbishop Chaput. Nutter announced that he intended to use this new bully-pulpit to promote the gay agenda and even to bring it to the pope if given the opportunity. On Saturday, when he spoke before the pope at Independence Hall, Nutter did precisely that.
I'd venture a guess that Pope Francis had no knowledge of either of these atrocities. The responsibility for these lays with both Cardinal Dolan and Archbishop Chaput. Given that the pope is headed for the Ordinary Synod on the Family next week, I might opine that these two episodes are more of the #maturation effort. After all there's only one more week for that.

Scandal at Manhattan Parish in Archdiocese of New York
The supporting videos and documentations can be seen here. Contact information for the archdiocese is given. This is a most serious matter, as Archbishop Dolan himself appears to be embroiled in the facilitation of the gay lifestyle in the Archdiocese of New York.

More From The Ecumenicide Department, Courtesy Of The Pope
The statement is this, uttered by the Holy Father as he explained his reasons for visiting his Protestant friends in Caserta. "To extend the apologies of the Catholic Church for the damage that has been done to them by obstructing the growth of their communities.” My goodness! This is a statement -curious if not heretical - that needs some serious unpacking!
- The "communities" mentioned in that quote are in fact Protestant churches, churches not in communion with Rome. By and large they reject most of the Sacraments, which are (among other things) primary channels for sanctifying grace - without which no one gets to heaven.
- How would these "mean ole Catholics" have been "obstructing the growth of these communities"? Does it take too much imagination that Catholics would have been doing this "obstruction" by bringing wayward Protestants into the Roman Catholic Church which is the One True Church? That's what we're supposed to do - to bring them to the fullness of truth. One of the Spiritual Works of Mercy is to "instruct the ignorant".
- If any apologies are required along these lines, the Church should be apologizing to Protestants for not being zealous and dedicated to offering them the fullness of Truth that can be found only within the Roman Catholic Church. They are floundering about with no Sacraments. If, for example, they fall into mortal sin and don't avail themselves of Confession, they really think "sole fide" will save them. Will it? That's quite a crap shoot, with someone's eternal destination at stake.
- Recall yesterday's post, where the Holy Father is quoted as saying he's not interested in converting evangelicals to Catholicism. He said "there are so many doctrines we'll never agree on...let's be about showing the love of Jesus". The doctrines of the Catholic Church are the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself. Any attempt to trivialize the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church will be rejection of the authentic love of Jesus in favor of a cheap, shallow, sentimental counterfeit of the same.

Hate Crimes Directed At ADW Churches On Christmas Eve - Why No Mention Of This In The Catholic Standard?
At two Christmas Eve Masses in St Mary's County in Maryland, an obviously imbalanced man disrupted two masses. The guy's name is Thomas Campbell Bolling Von Goetz, aged 58 years. At Holy Angels Church in Avenue MD, the 5pm Mass, he dropped an onion in the aisle. When a parishioner followed him after that, he pelted the parishioner with tangerines.
At the midnight Mass at St Francis Xavier in Leonardtown, he poured whiskey in a holy water font. After a bit of a tussle, parishioners subdued him and held him until sheriff's deputies arrived. Kudos to the parishioners who took proper action and who didn't just cower in their pews.
I just looked on the Catholic Standard web site. They were quite efficient in reporting the death of former President Jimmie Carter, that just happened today - God have mercy on Carter's soul. However, I found nary a peep of Goetz's rampage and attacks on those two churches within the Archdiocese of Washington.
Had these sorts of attacks been directed at a synagogue or mosque, I daresay that the Standard would have issued voluminous tomes to denounce these hate crimes, and rightly so. Then why, oh why, do we hear crickets coming from them when our own Churches, and the Catholics within them, are similarly attacked? These incidents are all over the secular media, rendering the Standard's silence at best, inexcusably silly, and at worst, highly suspect. I think the latter is the case.

Pervert Enablers Within The US Catholic Hierarchy
Read over that policy. Nowhere is there an acknowledgement of the inherent sinfulness of homosexual conduct, fornication, adultery. On page 10 (reads as page 8) of the policy regarding "transgendered" kids, the policy states in section c-ii, "use of hormone therapies and/or gender reassignment surgery is typically not condoned at this developmental level". Pray tell, what the hell does that mean??? Does it mean that there are other "developmental levels" when chemical and/or surgical mutilations are condoned by this diocese??? Nowhere in this policy is there any mention of proclaiming God's truth to these confused youngsters or to their errant parents.
The diocese had a meeting in which they trotted out this policy. One good priest was having none of it. This piece links to the dialogue. I disagree with the priest in his belief that Pope Francis opposes this policy outright, but he is spot on with everything else.
Far from opposing the furtherance of perversion in the Church, the pope, by various appointments, makes no secret of his aim to normalize it within the Church. The latest manifestation occurred just a few days ago when he appointed the gay-enabling Father John Dolan to be an auxiliary bishop for the Diocese of San Diego. Recall that this diocese is already cursed with Bishop Robert McElroy, about whom I've written in the past. While he's just absolutely delighted about Dolan's elevation, he has openly persecuted faithful priests who've had the temerity to write truthfully about Catholic morality, including the fact that it's sinful to vote for pro-abortion candidates.
Within the Archdiocese of New York (headed by Cardinal Dolan) the Church of the Blessed Sacrament is hosting a gay orgy under the auspices of a fund-raiser. Read the details from Joseph Sciambra's site. Here again we see the Commands of Jesus Christ being treated as a pile of dung. Please let's not pretend that Cardinal Dolan doesn't know of this. Of course he does. At best, he doesn't care; I hope he doesn't openly applaud them..oh wait! He applauded the gay group at St Francis Xavier a few years back, didn't he?
But let me end this post on a happy note. We in the Archdiocese of Washington know of Father Peter Daly, pastor of St. John Vianny of Prince Frederick MD. He has openly condoned homosexual conduct, going so far as to offer faulty counsel to gays who have come to him. In the May 25 issue of the Catholic Standard, we see that he is retiring and will have no further pastoral authority. His retirement will be effective July 12, 2017. Let us pray that he will have no further contact with confused individuals and that he will use his time in retirement to seek God's forgiveness for his dissidence.

St Ignatius of Loyola
One crucial Jesuit debacle I never touched upon involved Father Robert Drinan. Many of us remember him as the priest who served in the US House of Representatives in defiance of his order (who of course demured to discipline him) and who supported, and voted for, the Freedom of Choice Act. See Catholic Culture's account of the mess. After all was said and done with that debacle, Drinan spent his final years at (bet'cha can't guess!) Georgetown University. When he passed away several years ago, he was given a lavish public Catholic funeral - much like his protege, Ted Kennedy.
That's right - protege. It seems that Father Drinan played a key role in goading the Kennedys into adopting a pro-abortion position in their political careers. Read this account of their Hyannisport Meeting. This one priest seems to have been instrumental in launching one of the deadliest pro-abortion political careers in Washington, DC - that of Ted Kennedy. No doubt he had his nefarious influence on others.
Getting back to Saint Ignatius, let us ask him and his saintly spiritual sons to pray for their wayward order. Particularly invoke St Francis Xavier and St Aloysius Gonzaga, as institutions named for them have been particularly besmirched.

Archbishop Vigano's Open Letter Regarding President Trump's Election
His Excellency Archbishop Vigano released an open letter on the occasion of President Trump's election. I won't say too much about it, and will only mention that he echoes what many of us believe about the significance of this opportunity. Please take the time to read it. It now follows.
Mons. Carlo
Maria Viganò
Contra
spiritualia nequitiæ
Letter to American Catholics
after the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump
Quoniam non est nobis colluctatio
adversus carnem et sanguinem,
sed adversus principes, et potestates,
adversus mundi rectores tenebrarum harum,
contra spiritualia nequitiæ, in cælestibus.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:12
The recent inauguration of President Donald J. Trump, after
his landslide victory in the Presidential Election, is a reason for great hope
for every American Catholic, but also for all those Catholics in Western
nations, which today have been subjected to the globalist coup, who are aware
of the need and also the concrete possibility of rebelling against the tyranny
of the New World Order – always with the help of God – before it is too late.
What the deep state prevented with electoral fraud
in 2020 has now been achieved: for the first time after years of woke madness,
a President of the United States can carry out the program for which he was
elected, restoring those principles of natural law that are the basis of civil
life and a well-ordered society. It is the revolution of common sense, or,
better said, the counter-revolution of common sense.
The Conflict of Interest of Trump’s Opponents
But if Christians and all people of good will almost seem to
breathe a collective sigh of relief as they see the President’s campaign
promises materialize day after day – starting with the abolition of LGBTQ+ and
gender indoctrination in schools – it should not be surprising that the
election of Donald Trump represents a real disaster for many others. Among
these there are certainly characters with more than questionable conduct –
exponents of the pharmaceutical, food, and military lobbies, tycoons of high finance
or international organizations – who have benefited and still continue to do so
in terms of power and money from woke ideology, the Agenda
2030, NetZero, pandemics, smart cities and uncontrolled
immigration.
Individuals whom no one has elected, and who have no right
to interfere in the government of nations other than the blackmail power they
have acquired over their servants and the corruption of their accomplices, have
created false emergencies – health emergencies; war
emergencies; economic, climatic, and social emergencies – in order to be able
to impose their solutions, based on false data.
Many of you have realized the incongruity of the responses that governments and
international organizations gave to certain events: for example, because of the
alleged causal relationship between the percentage of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere and alleged global warming (false premise) and the supposedly
consequent need to reduce its presence in the atmosphere (false objective),
draconian measures have been applied in the Western nations to reduce the
emission of CO2 (false solution).
The True Purpose of “Emergencies”
This apparent inconsistency is due to a fact that is slowly
beginning to be understood by more and more people: the ultimate
purpose of all these so-called emergencies is to justify the adoption of
social, economic, food, and health policies which are intended to invariably
lead to a drastic reduction in the world population. This is the declared
goal of the followers of the World Economic Forum in Davos headed by Klaus
Schwab. It does not matter if the population dies from cancers induced by
vaccines, from poisons added to food or sprayed from the sky, from harmful
substances released into the water, from sterility psychologically induced by
LGBTQ+ ideology or surgically from gender transition, from poverty caused by
rising inflation, from wars, or from the violence and crimes of illegal
immigrants. The final result corresponds to a precise neo-Malthusian
project, which Bill Gates and other self-styled “philanthropists” pursue as
the main objective of their companies and foundations.
It is no mystery that private supranational
organizations such as the UN, WHO, WEF, World Bank, European Central Bank, and
International Monetary Fund answer to a board of directors, whose members are
all convinced supporters of demographic decline and the need to replace national
sovereignty with the New World Order.
It is also no mystery that there are enormous conflicts of
interest in the public sector as well, deriving from the lobbying activity of
multinational corporations or other bodies that interfere in the government of
nations. Members of the United States Congress receive large sums of money from
multinational corporations in exchange for the approval of laws that benefit
them: this applies to the military, pharmaceutical, agri-food and technology
industries. Without these undue and subversive interferences, we would never
have had the Covid pandemic, the bird flu scare, electric cars, the wars in
Ukraine and in the Middle East, synthetic meat, flour made from insects, and
geoengineering. All of these “emergencies” have as their immediate purpose the
enrichment of specific financial lobbies which are often part of the same
investment funds.
Two Subversive Entities
Among the entities that support the globalist agenda for the
profits they derive from it in terms of power and money is the deep
state, made up of those apparatuses that have embedded themselves
within the government and that determine its political action and choices,
regardless of the color of the various alternating administrations, acting for
their own interests against those of the citizens they claim to serve.
However, there is also what I myself have called the deep
church, which is similarly composed of exponents of the Catholic
Hierarchy, who after decades of progressive infiltration and occupation have
come to take full control of the Catholic Church, along with Jorge Mario
Bergoglio. These fifth columns of the globalist elite use their authority for
the interests of third parties, in opposition to the glory of God, the honor of
the Church, and the good of souls.
These two subversive entities – deep state and deep
church, as I recalled in my first Open Letter to President Trump in 2020 (here) – are mirror images
and complementary: their members are traitors in the service of illegitimate
powers, which we have seen acting in a coordinated way during the pandemic
farce, with “green fraud” and trafficking in illegal immigrants.
American citizens and faithful Catholics have now understood that the serious
social, economic, and religious crisis of the nation has been caused and
prepared from afar by the coup of these forces subverting legitimate authority,
one in the civil sphere and the other in the religious sphere. Americans have
also come to understand that there is a huge difference between the refugee
fleeing persecution and an organized mass of adult men of military age,
transferred in a systematic way within national borders, who effectively
constitute in a contingent of enemy soldiers and a potential threat to national
security and the safety of citizens.
The Complicity of the Deep State with the Deep Church
The proof of the complicity between the deep state and
the deep church is given not only by the fact that both
support the programmatic points of the Agenda 2030 because
they derive an immediate advantage from them, but also by their mutual
unwillingness to accept the reality that a legitimately elected President now
desires to concretely implement the commitments he made during his electoral
campaign. Their resistance is due to the fact that Trump’s initiatives seek to
put an end to the network of interests and profits that they have fraudulently
constructed in recent years. It is no mystery that the United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has never – and I repeat: never –
raised a penny to fight abortion, but rather has funded with tens of millions
of dollars associations that adhere to the Catholic Campaign for Human
Development and promote abortion, contraception, and homosexuality.
Nor does the USCCB have any qualms about receiving subsidies from the
Department of the Treasury for its management of illegal immigration, as its
budgets, which are public, prove. And it should be remembered that, in addition
to government funds, the USCCB receives funding from institutions and private
foundations for the same purposes.
If in fact, as some would have us believe, the Bergoglian
Hierarchy truly had at heart the salvation of souls – of all souls,
both the souls of US citizens and the souls of the migrants who arrive on US
territory – it should be doing what the Catholic Church has already very
successfully undertaken in the past: providing for the evangelization,
conversion, and religious instruction of these souls. I am thinking, for
example, of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, the foundress of the Missionaries of
the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the first American citizen to be raised to the
honors of the altar. Her work of assistance to immigrants (initially Italians)
expanded to include all those in need. She built churches, kindergartens,
schools, boarding schools for female students, orphanages, retirement homes for
lay and religious women, hospitals, and colleges thanks to the generosity of Catholics.
Her example of a true apostolic and missionary spirit has been renounced,
and cancel culture, so much in vogue today in the Bergoglian
Church, is almost ashamed of the charitable work undertaken by her and other
Saints.
The Lucrative Business of Immigration
What is happening today is precisely the opposite of the
Church’s true mission: the Hierarchy is only concerned with grabbing government
funding for the management of “welcoming immigrants” at taxpayer expense or for
the provision of morally unacceptable treatments in so-called Catholic
hospitals, even including mutilation for gender transition. In America there
are hundreds of nominally “Catholic” institutions that receive public money to
provide services that are entirely incompatible with the Catholic Magisterium.
By promoting the indiscriminate “welcoming” of immigrants,
the Bishops show that they care more about the profits of the illegal immigrant
business rather than the salvation of souls, the authentic social redemption of
the weakest, or the protection of the flock entrusted to them. And here it is
appropriate to remind the Catholic faithful that the Bishops have first of all
a moral responsibility before God and the Church for the sheep of their flock,
whom they have a duty to protect from the attacks of wolves.
The complicity of so many of the Bishops of the United
States in the present crisis derives from their total concurrence with
globalism, whose soul is intrinsically antichristic and therefore
anti-religious and anti-human. This complicity is expressed not only in the
promotion of the indiscriminate reception of illegal immigrants, but also in
the other “sustainable goals” of the Agenda 2030,
including LGBTQ+ ideology and gender theory: in the United States, according to
current data, there are over 150 Catholic hospitals that offer “treatment” –
that is, genital mutilation – for gender transition.
It should not surprise anyone that the American economist
Mariana Mazzucato, a member of the World Economic Forum (here)
with ties to the Club of Rome (here), has been
appointed by Bergoglio to the Pontifical Academy for Life despite being an
atheist and pro-abortionist. In November 2024 she declared at the Annual
Meeting of Davos that, since the elite has not managed to vaccinate the entire
world population through the pandemic crisis, it is necessary to focus on a
less abstract strategy such as a water crisis (here).
The Biden Administration, and more generally all recent US
administrations, both those led by Democrats and those led by neo-cons – have
distinguished themselves for having financed abortion, genital mutilation even
of young adolescents, genetic manipulation, surrogate motherhood, and
euthanasia with public funding. Although the Catholic Church condemns these
aberrations without exception, the silence of the American Bishops has
been deafening. This makes it clear that there is nothing genuinely Catholic about
the “pastoral” action of these Bishops, and that the only reason that leads the
Episcopate to support a government is the advantage it can derive from it in
terms of power and money; even if this means abandoning millions of human
beings who have been brought into the United States by criminal organizations
in order to then be exploited as slaves in humiliating working conditions, or
forced into prostitution (including minors), drug dealing, and the black market
of organ predation.
This mass of victims of elite cynicism weighs on the
conscience of many rulers and many Bishops, and the new Trump Administration
gives hope that a wise regulation of the migration phenomenon can largely solve
the problems of security and crime that all citizens have come to know only too
well.
The Bergoglian Church is an Accomplice in Ethnic
Replacement
In this context, it is dismaying to hear the words of Jorge
Mario Bergoglio, who recently stated – referring to Italy but speaking about
the entire Western world – that, in the face of demographic decline, the only
workable solution is to import immigrants, thus concretizing the ethnic
replacement theorized by Kalergi, the pan-European. This proposal is
also widely reflected in similar requests from multinational corporations, who
see the importation of immigrants as a way to drastically reduce the cost of
labor to the detriment of native workers, further increasing their profits. As
we can see, Authority is now completely subservient to the diktats of
the elite, with the complicity of the mainstream media, even
if this leads to a worsening of the social and working conditions of the
population. Or rather, it is precisely for this reason, since, as I
said, the ultimate goal of this lobby is the extermination of a sizeable
portion of the human race.
The Numbers Speak for Themselves
Finally, we cannot forget that the budgets of US Dioceses,
already largely compromised by the millions of dollars doled out in
compensation for the cases of sexual abuse, and also depleted by the
abandonment of an ever-increasing number of faithful from the official Catholic
Church because of its betrayal of its nature and mission, have their main
income from government funds given to them for the purpose of “welcoming”
immigrants. Along with Catholic charitable organizations, the sum received by
the American Catholic Church for “welcoming” immigrants amounts to over 2.4
billion dollars (here),
an exorbitant figure that highlights at least a serious conflict of interest
and that does not solve the social problems that derive from it in the least.
And it is gravely detrimental to the entire Catholic Church to have Bishops for
whom the maintenance of power renders irrelevant the link between the presence
of thousands of irregular minors on American soil and their exploitation by
perverts, pedophiles, organ harvesters, and criminals of all kinds. President
Trump and Vice President Vance are demonstrating that they know how
to protect the little ones of whom the Gospel speaks (Mt 18:6), contrary to
what the American Bishops and Bergoglio himself have done thus far.
The (Counter) Revolution of Common Sense
President Trump’s Executive Orders can only be hailed as
absolutely supported by every Catholic worthy of the name, just as Catholics
ought to praise the support shown by the President and Vice President for
the March for Life, which the previous Administration officially
opposed, even to the point of arresting those who prayed silently near abortion
clinics. Donald Trump’s Presidential Pardon for those who had been so
imprisoned confirms a reversal of the trend with respect to the “Catholic” Joe
Biden, just as the end of public funding for the abortion multinational
corporation Planned Parenthood and the providential cuts in disbursements
to self-styled Catholic organizations that favor illegal immigration represent
a radical change.
The statement that there are only two sexes, in its banal
obviousness, is now a revolutionary proposition – what President Trump calls
the “revolution of common sense” – yet Bishops, priests, and nuns deplore
his action as “divisive.” But if anyone is sowing division, it is precisely
those who are feeding the monstrosities of woke ideology
against the mandate they have received from Christ: first and foremost, Jorge
Mario Bergoglio.
The Role of the USCCB
Of course, it is not surprising that McCarrick’s heirs, who
have been promoted by Bergoglio to the top of the Catholic Church in the United
States, are so prompt to deplore the policies of canceling laws in favor
of woke ideology, starting with those who denied the binary
complementarity of the sexes and recognized gender dysphoria even in minors:
their subordination to the LGBTQ+ lobby is widely proven, both institutionally
and personally. And it is well known – as Dr. Taylor Marshall has pointed out –
that almost all Catholic Bishops in the United States have been vetted and
nominated by the previous three liberal cardinals in Washington, DC (the
pedophile homosexuals McCarrick, Wuerl, and Gregory), and then appointed directly
by Bergoglio. Marshall rightly comments: “Company men follow company orders.
They all owe each other” (here).
These serious deviations within the Clergy and Bishops will have to be the
subject of a great operation of removal and reform in due time, because they
constitute a subversive element within the ecclesial structure that is
irreconcilable with the Faith and Morals of the Catholic Church. The Bishops’
Conferences themselves – a spurious body of parliamentarian matrix that has no
legitimacy from a doctrinal and canonical point of view – represent an
independent entity that have been transformed over the past few decades into
political lobbying groups by the ultra-progressive Bishops. The proposal to
revoke the USCCB’s tax-exempt status (here) should
therefore be widely supported by faithful Catholics. And of course Bergoglio
should be the first to support this salutary initiative, since, after all, he
desires a “poor church for the poor . . . .”
Catholics also have the possibility of re-directing their
offerings and donations to those ecclesial realities that remain faithful to
Tradition and the perennial Magisterium of the Catholic Church, withholding
them from the Dioceses whose Bishops impose doctrinal errors and moral
deviations.
The Government can also intervene, without violating the
freedom of the Church, in order to bring to light and severely punish the
scandals and cover-ups that have not prevented certain Prelates from being
appointed to the head of the most prestigious Dioceses in America, not
least the newly-appointed Archbishop of Washington, Robert McElroy. Many
Catholics expect justice to be done, first of all out of respect for the
victims who have thus far been abandoned by both civil power and ecclesiastical
authority (here).
The Withdrawal from the WHO
Catholics are in absolute agreement with Donald Trump and
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., about the exit of the United States of America from the
World Health Organization that was accomplished by a recent Executive Order.
The policies promoted by this private organization – financed mainly by
pharmaceutical companies and Bill Gates – for so-called “reproductive health”
and for “gender equality,” along with claims about the supposed “sexual rights
of minors” and disturbing initiatives to decriminalize pedophilia, cannot be
accepted or even financed by American Catholics. The same applies to the global
“health policies” which the WHO would like to impose on sovereign nations.
The Woke Church
American Catholics have the right to demand that their
Bishops behave in accordance with the perennial Magisterium of the Catholic
Church, and that they not lend any moral or material support to what is
repugnant to the Natural Law even before it is a violation of the Commandments
of God. It is therefore outrageous and scandalous to learn from the Davos Forum
that important LGBTQ+ organizations consider Jorge Mario Bergoglio a precious
ally in achieving their agenda of normalizing sexual perversions (here).
In the civil sphere, the emissaries of the deep
state have seriously compromised citizens’ trust in institutions and
governments, and it will be up to President Trump and his Administration to
restore the trust and respect that previous governments (whether Democrat or
RINO) have deliberately undermined in recent years. Similarly, the deep
church has heavily delegitimized the faithful’s trust in the Catholic
Church and her Hierarchy, but we do not know when the occupation of these
heretics and perverts will end. For this reason, it is understandable that
Catholics feel somehow more protected by a Protestant President than by their
“pope” – who is not Catholic and perhaps not even Christian – in the fight the
President is leading against the deep state and the globalist
Left. Indeed, they have a “pope” who perfectly embodies the one who was
intended to replace Benedict XVI, as revealed by John Podesta’s emails
published by Wikileaks in 2016. And to close the magic circle of vices and
perversions, it is enough to remember that among Podesta’s closest
collaborators is Slade Sohmer, who was arrested in 2023 for pedophilia and
child pornography: we are talking about an important collaborator of Hillary
Clinton and John Podesta, linked to the world of Broadway and cinema, who had
worked in the effort to debunk the infamous Pizzagate, that is, the
network of vile complicities and horrendous crimes against minors that revolves
around the international deep state. How can we think that
characters organic to the system of corruption can condemn the vices and crimes
that involve them first and foremost? And how can we be surprised by the
hysterical reaction of certain Bishops and Cardinals, now that they are facing
the removal of a trough from which they have continually feasted?
The Real Battle Begins Now
It is difficult to predict how these subversive forces will
react to the organized and incisive action of the Trump Administration.
Nonetheless, it is likely that the colossal economic interests and the existing
network of corruption will lead to a clash between opposing and irreconcilable
forces. In this battle, which Saint Paul rightly points out is pre-eminently a
spiritual one, the role of Catholics will be decisive, and it will be a battle
fought with no holds barred. If the deep state went to the
point of subverting the results of the 2020 Presidential Election and the deep
church went to the point of placing on the Chair of Peter its own
emissary who would embody the woke ideals of a “progressive
spring” welcomed by the deep state, it is unlikely that they will
give up the power they have acquired just because the majority of Americans now
understand the threat that they represent. Indeed, the increasingly widespread
awareness of the coup perpetrated by the globalist elite and the end of the
censorship system of some social platforms make this redde rationem [give
an account] inevitable. And along with the collapse of the woke cabal
in the United States, the subversive lobby of other nations will also begin to
fall like dominos, beginning in Europe.
The meaning of the word apocalypse is “unveiling”,
“revelation.” In these epochal times, the forces of Good must finally unite to
form a common front against the forces of Evil, which have always been
organized and very powerful. And Catholics must understand that, as Sacred
Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church teach, as the end times approach,
there will be a clash that will make the two sides become clear. This will be
the true unveiling, the true revelation, as announced to the Blessed Virgin Mary
by the prophet Simeon: Behold, this child is destined for the fall and
rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against […], so
that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed (Lk 2:34-35). This
unveiling will show us the true intentions hidden behind the emergencies and
crises speciously planned by the globalist elite and ratified by the Bergoglian
church, and will force us to side either with Christ or against Christ, since no
one can serve two masters; […] you cannot serve both God and
money (Mt 6:24). And money, as we see, is truly Satan’s manure, the
fuel that feeds the infernal machine of the New World Order.
Authority on earth, both temporal and spiritual, belongs
exclusively to Our Lord Jesus Christ, King and High Priest. All
authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me (Mt 28:18), said
Our Lord. He grants it in a vicarious form to His representatives, so that they
may exercise it within the well-defined boundaries of Good and Truth. If this
vicarious authority, whether temporal or spiritual, is exercised against the
purpose for which it was willed by God, it becomes illegitimate and null. For
this reason, faced with the evidence of the betrayal of those who hold
Authority on earth, all Catholics must refuse to give obedience to one who was
the first to disobey Christ; nor must they attribute to Holy Church the faults,
however horrible, of her unworthy Ministers. Rather, we must pray that the Lord
will guard His sheep and punish the wolves who are disguised as sheep. Let us
remember with sure hope the words of the Lord: These things I have
spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have
tribulation, but take courage: I have overcome the world (Jn 16:33).
Conclusion
While it is true that all salvation ultimately comes from
God, this does not mean that we may simply passively sit around waiting for
divine intervention. No, we must cooperate with God’s grace through personal
commitment, courageous testimony, and the coherent witness of our lives. Let us
therefore begin to make this counter-revolution of common sense our
own, rejecting the lies and deceptions of those who seek to subvert the very
foundations of the Natural Law after having trampled on the Divine Law. Let us
defend the family, children, and those who are weak. Let us jealously guard our
Faith, the civilization built on its foundation, and the traditions of our
fathers.
May the Most Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, Empress of the
Americas, spread Her protective mantle over all of you, dear brothers and
sisters, over President Trump and Vice President Vance, and over all those who
refuse to retreat in the face of the arrogance of the wicked. And may God bless
the United States of America.
