U.S. Military Chaos, Iran's nuclear weapons, Bergoglio's Apostasy, and the 'Abrahamic Family House'

Amici,

Political news used to be depressing, but one always had Church news to buck one up – or at least, one always had the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to retreat to, when things got to maddening. Now, we have nothing. Bergoglio is prying the Holy Mass out of our lives (he won't succeed, but for the time being, it is a horrific "spirit-ache") and all we are left with is our quasi-Methodist chapel service with the Canon stuck in, awkwardly. 

Nothing really remains much but the knowledge that the Four Last Things are even now remain: Heaven, Hell, Death and Judgment. 

Politics

Most of Europe is too ridiculous to think about. (The only two people running for Brit PM are WEF operatives.) And never has the USA been in such a horrific state. My older family wouldn't recognize it, were they could come back. I'm glad they're dead.

Will Trump run again? Looks like it, and thus the growing chorus from the Left to arrest him. It would be great (and necessary) if Trump wins again. Steve Bannon has come up with a plan to shape Trump's new administration with true MAGA Patriots, I see. It will be formally announced soon. Of course, I suspect DeSantis would be a better president and not let himself get caught empty-handed as Trump did. But maybe Trump has learned how desperate things really are. In any event, I now think it is probably too late. Did you see this?

A profound and depressing article:
Biden’s Military Vaccine Mandate is a Political Test
After only 95 COVID deaths, Biden wants to purge tens of thousands of unvaccinated US military personnel.

The US military is crippled. Completely. Morale must be in the toilet. Friends with military backgrounds have been warning me for some time about it and now the military is so emptied out that they're accepting people with criminal records even as they peremptorily dismiss guys just finishing expensive training (because they won't take the vaccine). It is stark, raving insanity. Trump says he'll hire them all back, with back pay. Will any of us be here, however, in three years or so to see that?

Meanwhile, with chaos through the Services, Hag Pelosi the Damned is going to Taiwan, shadowed now by the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan battle group. China swears it will act. And now the Iranians are boasting that they're going to have nukes soon, and Israeli IDF people (and a former PM) are saying they're ready to stop them. Sam Faddis has details here. 

World War III is crawling out of its Ukrainian crib, looks like, eh?

The Great Chastisement

Time to get right with God, my friends. The Great Chastisement is upon us. Along with all his pagan worship antics in Canada this week, totally embarrassing the Church and even sliming famous Canadian missionary saints in the process, Bergoglio the Accursed has just fired an Indian bishop of the ancient Syro-Malabar Church because he dispensed with his priests saying Mass "ad populum" so they could maintain their traditional "ad orientem". Damn Bergoglio and the incubus he rode in on (he wouldn't be caught dead on a succubus). He's also going to dump Catholic teaching on Contraception, LifeSiteNews has details. 

As I have so often said, what does he have to do? And I actually demand an answer from all the careful, respectful, Trad Critics of Bergoglio: What does the man have to do? Declare a Holy Duality? Recognize the Prophet Muhammad as the true prophet? What? He had Holy Communion given to that corrupt, insider-trading skank Pelosi, one of the worst promoters of abortion in all of American history! And he did so to make sure her home archbishop was humiliated in the process! So, what else does the reprobate have to do to prove he's an Apostate?

God always gives you enough rope to hang yourselves, if that's what you want to do. He's generous, that way. And Bergi and his friends just keep getting ever more coils of eternal rope.

The Deadline?

On top of all the rest of this misery, that "Abrahamic Family" worship site in Abu Dhabi is set to open in September. A profound deadline if ever there was one. That's be about right for "the Guns of August" to replay a century later, wouldn't it? I doubt Bergi will live to see it or that it, itself, will survive Iran's jihad (or Israel's counter-attack). And all that WELL BEFORE the November US election. My friends, I'd be truly, honestly surprised if there IS an election in November. (At this point, I'd be surprised if there's a November!)

But God might relent, if we pray hard enough. Certainly His Mother will intercede. So, we'll just have to see.

U.S. Civil War 2.0 on its way? Trump to be indicted? Anarcho-Tyranny rules.

Friends,

Echoing the years-long Mueller Investigation and the (what was it, three?) impeachments of Donald Trump, The Washington Post has a story reporting that Donald Trump might well be indicted for trying to overthrow the government. Apparently, a grand jury has been impaneled to hear evidence. Sundance has a thorough review of this at The Conservative Treehouse here. 

Sundance thinks the story is suspect and the WaPo, the mouthpiece for the CIA, etc., all have an agenda reporting this. It is interesting to read the Comments, though, as people are sure they do intend to stop Trump in any way they can.

I would not in the least be surprised if they do this. Senator Grassely sent a letter to Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray, of the DOJ and FBI respectively, yesterday, accusing them of being "corrupt to their cores". These organizations are true enemies of the people.

So, here we are. The Powers-That-Be stole the Colorado election for Secretary of State. See details here. The vote results are utterly ridiculous, maximally. And Colorado uses Dominion Voting Machines. This is "in-your-face" "you-can't-stop-us" anarcho-tyranny. 

This is why we're facing civil war. When everyone knows it doesn't pay to vote, that the vote as "safety valve" on the societal steam engine is broken, then the pressure builds till it explodes.

Great Reset. World Economic Forum. The utter stupid, gay-orgy transmitted "Monkey Pox" about to be declared a national emergency. Constructed, intentional famine (always they have to be "manufactured"). Eating bugs. Voting in any sort of carnal group Hieronymous Bosch-writhing and calling it "marriage".  And an official Catholic Church that is in the compost stage of decomposition.

What could go wrong?

Wilton Gregory gets face-slapped by WaPo articles on his crushing the TLM; plus Savannah

And it couldn't happen to a better ogre than the odious Gregory.

And the author of the piece, one William Wan, bothered to to actually go to the parish, something that reprobate Gregory most definitely did NOT do.

An excerpt:

An air of earnest contemplation hung over Sunday Mass, tinged by sadness. 

This would be one of the last weeks the church’s parishioners would be able to celebrate using a traditional Latin form that traces its roots back more than a millennium. 

Last year, prompted by ideological wars between conservative and liberal wings, Pope Francis said he wanted to limit use of the old Latin form of Mass. 

This week, the consequences of that papal letter — issued halfway across the world — landed here in Washington with heavy consequences for this small parish in the city’s Chinatown neighborhood. 

By Sept. 21, the parish was told, they were to cease use of the Latin rituals that had been part of St. Mary’s history almost since its founding in 1845. Friday’s local decree, written by Cardinal Wilton Gregory, who oversees the archdiocese of Washington, allows only three non-parish churches in the region to perform the Latin Rite. That means hundreds of Catholics who attend that type of Mass at roughly six parishes in the D.C. area — including St. Mary Mother of God — will be forced to overhaul their ritual or abandon their spiritual homes to attend the three locations in the area allowed to perform it. 

“It’s been devastating to be honest,” said Erin Menke, 42, whose family has attended St. Mary for almost two decades. Three sons had been altar servers at the parish. To assist the parish priest, they painstakingly learned the intricacies of the Latin Mass, which incorporates traditional elements like incense, Gregorian chant and elaborate gestures and words often missing from the modern form of the Mass. 

“There’s a sacred reverence to it that is just beautiful,” Menke said. “These words that are spoken and have been spoken for centuries in the church, they often feel like the closest thing to heaven that we’ve got. To realize we are going to lose that, we’re in shock.”

Great article, and I love it they're rubbing Gregory's smug face in it.

Another such story is surfacing in Savannah, Georgia, with the worthless bishop of Laodicea there being revealed to be nothing less than an utter worm. (Well, most American bishops are Laodiceans, those who aren't "Sodomiceans".) I'm not the greatest fan of this author, but he's raising important questions and important history we should be asking the bishops. 

"Sunlight is the best disinfectant", and with this Vatican, we need all we can get!

Complete moral collapse: Republicans support new bill for Polygamy and Polyandry

Friends,

You-all knew this was coming. It's here. The total "deconstruction" of the foundations of Western Civilization: the rape (to death) of not just the institution – but the very idea – of marriage. And with it, the civilization. The 1984-esque Respect for Marriage Act is about to be passed by the Republicans in the U.S. Senate, and nearly 50 Republicans voted for it in the U.S. House. It would require the federal government to recognize “marriages” (homosexual, polygamous, or  polyamorous in general) just as it would the traditional union between a man and a woman.

An excerpt:

The Respect for Marriage Act would enshrine same-sex “marriage” into federal law, override duly enacted laws and constitutional amendments in 35 states, require the federal government to recognize polygamy or any other redefinition of marriage that a state may come up with, and open the door to a wide range of new threats to religious freedom.

The bill, largely intended as a Democratic messaging stunt before the midterms, is nothing less than a declaration of war on the family and Christians and a gift to the radical LGBT movement and Democrats’ far-left base.

(Read the whole article: much detail; much despair.)

AnP again:

Okay, can I damn them now? Damn them all to Hell, as Col. Taylor said at the end of the original Planet of the Apes: "You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you! Damn you all to Hell!"

God will damn them, and by extension, us. We do not get a free pass because our rulers are evil. Not all of the people of Judah supported King Manasseh, the evil Judean King, and even he supposedly repented. But it was too late. The last king, Zedekiah, was not a bad man in himself, and he had the Prophet Jeremiah to listen to, but he didn't; like a modern politician, he found it expedient not to. Again, read the LifeSite article above. These Republicans are finding it expedient to give in to the sexual deviants and the destructors of marriage. For now. It serves their current schemes. We don't fight hard enough against them. Now we get to bathe in their poop. For years.

And thus Nebuchadnezzar returned and conquered Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple, and murdered Zedekiah's sons before their father, and then Nebuchadnezzar had Zedekiah blinded. But all the people suffered, either death or exile.

Both then and now: All for nothing except the perceived "political expediency" of a quickly passing political moment.

And of course, passing this law will bring all Christians who keep the traditional faith and morality "under judgment" by our new Sexual Pervertocracy. That will be our "bath". Expect those Catholics and Protestants, of whatever level, who keep the traditional morality only at the price of endless

lawsuits ("lawfare") until we're ground down and impoverished. It will test our character, our faith. But there it is. Our ancestors created the American Constitution without any mention or recognition of God, and now we see we've enthroned Satan instead. Some saw this would happen. Most were too stupid to do so. "Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other." John Adams 

Schadenfreude

Of course, at some point, people will snap. The tide will turn. Gays will find themselves on the point of the bayonet. They were "useful idiots" in Comrade Lenin's famous phrase, and when the Revolution is complete, they'll be liquidated at "useless eaters".

TLM Parishioner laments Wilton Gregory's closing of the TLM in D.C.

Amici,

Rampaging Bergoglio is the Boar that has entered the vineyard to ravage it. How else can he be described in his insane attack on Latin Massers? Below is a cri de coeur about this from Washington D.C., and I had to pass a bit of it on. It is, of course, one of many. Very, very many.  And they're not just from D.C. as is this one below, but from Chicago and Savannah and wherever these ogres try their best to Cancel Catholicism. No other way exists to describe it. They want to cancel the Traditional Latin Mass because that IS Catholicism, the way it has been since the beginning, a long-process organic development like a great tree.

But why? Why would they care? They care because the Traditional Latin Mass threatens their "legacy", their lives' work. The Novus Ordo can't compare to it for being Catholic. Although Latin Massers are still few in number, their growth arc is amazing. All this attention accelerates that. Even an oaf like Jorge Bergoglio can see it, or at least sense it. And thus, they have become true Pharisees. For example, from what I understand, there's been a host of letters written to Wilton Gregory imploring him not to cancel the Latin Mass, etc., in D.C. Priests, too, have pleaded with him. Theologians. Professors. All sorts. To no avail. So, here's one "cry of the heart". An excerpt (it should be all highlighted):

The Mass suppression becomes effective September 21 of this year, giving TLM parishioners at churches such as Saint Mary Mother of God (where this writer has attended for over 26 years; the parish had the TLM from 1845 until 1969, then again from the mid-1980s until now) just nine weeks to pack up and say goodbye. To say goodbye to where I was married. To say goodbye to where I served as godfather for baptisms. To say goodbye to the Gregorian chant schola I have sung in for nearly three decades. To say goodbye to the church where I attended around 2,000 traditional Latin Masses, numerous baptisms, and many nuptial and Requiem Masses. To say goodbye to where I made many of my friends. To say goodbye to where TLM parishioners -- from Antonin Scalia to Pat Buchanan to Nellie Gray to James Buckley to young adults and large families -- spent countless hours at coffee and donuts socials after Sunday Masses. To say goodbye to the Blessed Karl Mass and the epicenter for March for Life TLMs. To say goodbye to my spiritual home.

AnP again:

How can I add anything to that? Anything to something so noble, so sad, as sad as when Virgil "poemed" the hero Aeneas exclaiming: “Sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangent.” “These are tears of things, and mortal matters touch the mind.”

The author of the piece above will be going across the river to the diocese of Arlington, Virginia, which "has the most amount of TLMs per parish than anywhere in the world". The author says a couple of Masses there will probably be canceled later, what with that bishop also being under pressure from the Ogre Bergoglio – I think I'm going to change that to "Bergoglio the Accursed", because that is what he is, him and Cupich and this faggot Wilton Gregory – all of them denizens of the Sodomical Modernist Hierarchy, all of them "soul-mates" of the unspeakable former Cardinal McCarrick. (And before him, there was the Satan-worshiping Joseph Bernardin, who died in late 1996.)

What Bergoglio and peeps are doing is also SO Matthew 23 (an excerpt)

Matthew 23
13 But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.

14 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: because you devour the houses of widows, praying long prayers. For this you shall receive the greater judgment.

15 Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves.

(And on and on, a great 'rant' from God Himself!)

Honestly, this is SO spiritually putrid. So obscenely Satanic. No other word for it. (Maybe "Freemasonary"....) Again and again these bags of human sludge, seeping into damnation themselves, proudly war like Dante's Demons on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. How many souls have they lost? I reflect on it, as Odin ponders the news of his ravens, I ponder my long memory and wonder how I would have turned out differently had I had the TLM from the mid-'60s to Benedict's Summorum Pontificum (July 2007).

Does this anti-TLM rage make sense to anyone? Catholicism – not just the "Roman" Catholicism – has TWENTY-THREE rites, most of them Eastern. So, why not a 24th, the  TLM? Because they know the power of the TLM and that its return will destroy EVERYTHING they labored for. What does NOT make sense is for any Catholic of any orthodox sort to tolerate these clowns five seconds.

• Yes, on one level, this is just the last of the fading Vatican II-era prelates – Bergoglio was the first "pope" (if he's pope, I'm the Aga Khan! i.e. the Imām of the Nizari Ismāʿīli Shias) ordained a priest in the Novus Ordo rite – on their way to exist as fertilizer. Bergoglio is about already room temperature himself, it seems. So he's desperate to defecate all over the only part of the Church that is growing and faith-filled and YOUNG. He says the TLM Catholics are "rigid", "old" and all that claptrap, but the opposite is true. Everyone who is honest about the Church's situation knows this.
• So, all this hate from the Vatican (Traditionis Custodes, Archbishop Roche's degrees, his answers to Dubia that weren't even asked, and now Cupich's and Gregory's antics) constitute the detritus of the Vatican II Council as it dissipates into putrescence.
  
• And Bergoglio thinks the next pope will be "Francis II". Bergi has tried his best to ensure that, and it might happen. But any strong ruler, certainly any overbearing one, makes so many enemies that his successor often repudiates him, as Khrushchev repudiated Stalin. And Bergoglio is our Stalin. Another example is how the American public voted to "cancel" Woodrow Wilson's era as president in 1920. The whole Vatican II Era is like the last, nightmare years of the Wilsonian Regime. It will be repudiated. So, I wouldn't be in the least surprised if Bergoglio's successor removes most of all this. 
• And finally, should a Bergoglio 2.0 be elected, he'll serve as a focal point of Schism. In fact, a "conservative" pope will probably create a Schism, with heretics starting their own version of Catholicism. The Church is in Schism right now, just a not too openly declared one.
  

And another reason for optimism is that the papacy can't survive the Bergoglian Model: i.e. Tyranny, plain and simple, from Hell's dimension. If fact, it is Anarcho-Tyranny, what the Democrats/Communists in the U.S. are doing now, reigning by executive orders signed by a non compos mentis puppet. If one pope can just by fiat cancel another pope's rulings, the  papacy must collapse. That's because it only works based on Tradition, stare decisis in legal terms. Pope C has to try to support Pope B's rulings, and Pope B had to try to build directly on Pope A. But if Pope B can totally cancel the work of Pope A, then Pope C can just turn around and cancel Pope B's decisions. Utter chaos. Each new pope would create a new Church. And that is perhaps Jorge Mario Bergoglio's biggest legacy to the Catholic Church. Creating a new Church is what he's attempting. 

Most prelates have to understand that. Only the most hard-core of his followers (Cupich, Roche, the Tobin in NJ, that POS in San Diego, etc.) would go the "Full Jorge". And then another aspect to this is that just as Bergoglio the Accursed has done in China, where he has succeeded only in driving the true Catholics even deeper underground, so the TLM is not going away. This isn't the '70s. Go ahead and try to cancel it. Make the SSPX 20x the size it is now, make Dom Alcuin Reid found monasteries across Europe. He might well start a new Clunaic Reform! Go ahead.

I for one will stand up and say to Bergi's face (he could care less about me, obviously) that I reject him, his papacy, and his demands that I (or any Catholic) accept Vatican II. Dar Crom, what CATHOLIC Modernist has accepted the Vatican II documents over the past 60 years? They just ignore them and make up whatever they want in the "spirit of Vatican II". Vatican II has been made absurd by its most vocal defenders! How's that for irony?

But many, many souls will be lost, as I wrote above. They're being lost by the second. As the Great Chastisement engulfs us, we must pray for them, and one must even try to pray for the Scribes and Pharisees of today. Pray for their conversion to Catholicism before they croak. Because croak they will and they're not now Catholic, any more than is the Imām of the Nizari Ismāʿīli Shias.

Abp. Viganò: Catholics have ‘sacred and urgent duty’ to resist Cdl. Cupich’s Latin Mass crackdown

 Amici,

Archbishop Viganò has issued a clarion call, a battle cry, against Bergoglio and Cupich and all their ilk.

Abp. Viganò pulls out all the stops and takes no prisoners in his essay. An excerpt (highlights mine, but the entire letter should be highlighted): 

This umpteenth show of strength by Cupich, who is cynical and ruthless towards the faithful even before the Canons of the Institute of Christ the King, can constitute a healthy moment of reflection on the many omissions and equivocations that need to be clarified, especially in the matter of acceptance of the Conciliar mens and the Bergoglian “magisterium.” I trust that the Canons of Christ the King and all of the Ecclesia Dei institutes will be able to see in these days of trial a precious opportunity for purification, courageously witnessing to the necessary coherence between the profession of Faith and its cultic expression in the Mass, and the consequent irreconcilability between these and the doctrinal and liturgical deviations of Vatican II. Because it is not possible to celebrate the Mass of Saint Pius V and at the same time to accept the errors of its enemies.

Cupich knows this very well, and this is why he wants to prevent the celebration of that Mass. He knows how much that Mass is a very powerful exorcism against the servants of the devil, both those who wear miters and those who do not. He knows how immediately that Mass is understandable to anyone for its supernatural sense of the sacred and divine – the mysterium tremendum of Moses before the burning bush – and how that Mass opens the eyes of the faithful, warms their hearts, and enlightens their minds. After decades of unspeakable torments, the faithful are finally able to approach the Majesty of God, to be converted, to change their lives, to educate their children in holiness, and to spread the Faith by their example. What could be more desirable for a Bishop who is truly a Shepherd of the Sheep entrusted to him by the Lord? And what could be more detestable for those who want to see the Sheep be torn to pieces by wolves or fall into the abyss?

The lay faithful, priests, and Bishops have the sacred and urgent duty to rise up against the decisions of these completely discredited characters and to demand, without yielding an inch, that the venerable Tridentine Liturgy remain an inviolable bulwark of doctrine, morality, and spirituality. We must obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29), especially when these men have demonstrated by their reprehensible conduct, that they do not love either God or their brothers in the Faith.

AnP again:

Viganò is his usual brilliant self here, even more than usual. And I suspect many laity and clergy watching from the sidelines get the strong sense that Bergoglio has over-reached himself. Joe Biden is massively over-reaching his miserable self, as well. Both these "installed" puppet leaders totter (literally, in both cases) on the brink of toppling into the Abyss that Viganò mentions in his letter. The deadline of the U.S. November elections loom, as does China's opportunity to invade Taiwan, as does Russia's chance to slap down NATO and most of all, I'm seeing from multiple sources that the death and injury count from the Covid "vaccines" is reaching unbelievable heights, and there's no way to keep the lid on that news much longer, at least, not short of closing down the entire Internet.

And please note Viganò's core point: the Trad Mass is incompatible with pretty much the whole of Vatican II. That's true in part due to what the Vat2 documents actually say, especially Dignitatis Humanae, Declaration On Religious Freedom; Nostra Aetate Declaration on On the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions; and Unitatis Redintegratio, the Decree On Ecumenism. But it is mainly true from the actual accumulated effects of the Second Vatican Council. We have seen, over half a century, that whatever the printed, voted-on documents actually say, the Modernists in the Church just decree that they actually mean whatever the Modernists want to push at a given moment. The Vatican II documents might as well be printed on Kleenex. So, ergo, the whole of Vatican II needs to be sunk. (Preferably in the Marianas Trench.)

And the ever-present irony is, the more Bergoglio & Co. push for "Vatican II acceptance", the more they ensure it's rejection, precisely because of "...the consequent irreconcilability between these (Traditional Catholic teachings and practice) and the doctrinal and liturgical deviations of Vatican II."

The only real question is whether we'll survive the Great Chastisement we're entering into. If we can, great. If not, then...maybe old Sweeny Astray will let me join him at "his tree in charming Glen Bolcain, for that was his fortress and his haven, it was his house there in the glen," as Flann O'Brien once put it long ago.

Psalm 146 of the Douay-Rheims: verse 9:

Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.

"When did this civilization damn itself? Please give me the clue."

 Friends,

That was a question posed to me in the Comments section of Steve Kirsch substack article. I answered the following:

Good question. A "short" answer:

It's a chain of causation that goes back to the Reformation. One element was René Descartes' idea that we are machines, and the human soul is but a "ghost in the machine." You can see the result of that in modern medicine: it treats us primarily like machines, rather than souls. "Dr House" was a good example in popular culture of a physician who proceeded on those grounds.

But a BIG link in that chain was Darwin and the whole theory of Darwinism beyond the bounds of Darwin himself. Once it became generally accepted that humans were just clever apes, with some human tribes smarter than others (whites smarter than browns, browns smarter than blacks) we were linked into the primate series (chimps smarter than gorillas, etc.). This in turn acted like a corrosive slowly but steadily making the argument that we're just animals that needed treated like animals. See the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male for how the big shots applied Darwinian thinking. Or the history of the Nazis.

Then look at Marx and economic determinism, the latter of which, in a capitalistic form, motivates Big Gov/Big Pharma/Big Med today. G.K. Chesterton said economic determinism was like saying, "Because I have feet, I only walk around on them to find shoes for them." That's a perfect description of what the Powers-That-Be think of us and the way they've tried to educate us to be for a century. John Dewey played a huge role in educating us into being that type of being. Look him up (1859-1952), lauded by the cultural destroyers and loathed by those of us who know his role in "uneducating" us entirely.

I hope some get to see this one, and think about it a bit.

News from Dom Alcuin Reid and his Benedictine Monastery: Good News indeed!

Amici,

The Lord God knows we need some good Church news, and buíochas le Dia, we do have some.

Good news comes from Dom Alcuin Reid in France. Here at Rorate-Caeli is in an exclusive interview they conducted with Dom Alcuin very recently. Everything is going great for the monastery of Monastère Saint-Benoît, and though the situation is challenging – it is no "cakewalk" – the Lord God is clearly on the Monastery's side.

You-all remember that Dom Alcuin Reid received priestly ordination in late May-early June from a high-ranking bishop or cardinal who is still not being named in order avoid being savaged by that wild boar, Bergoglio. This ordination was "illicit", against Church orders, because Bergoglio and his henchmen are fighting tooth and nail against Tradition. Reid's Benedictine community had no priest, and without one, it would soon be scattered. So, it was necessary to ordain Reid, as necessary as Archbishop Lefebvre ordaining bishops.  Naturally, Bergoglio pounced: Read's illicit, unapproved ordination resulted in his, and his monastic group's, suspension. Typical of the fools prancing about the Vatican, they couldn't even do that canonically, i.e., according to the details of Canon Law. Read is appealing, yet as his team owns their own property, the official Church can go blow it out its nose. (My attitude might shock many Catholics, but honestly, what does Bergoglio have to do to prove he's not Catholic, at this stage? Declare Muhammad to be an actual prophet?)

Dom Alcuin and his brethren ignored all Church huff-and-puff and have gone full-steam ahead. ("Huff-puff"; see Cardinal Cupich's dragon business below.)

His bishop, one Msgr Dominique Rey is ordinary of the diocese of Fréjus-Toulon, which lies on the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France and includes the territory of the ancient Diocese of Fréjus as well as that of the ancient Diocese of Toulon. The monastery itself includes medieval buildings and church. A choice bit of real-estate, to be sure. Bishop Rey had been a friend to Tradition, and had invited Dom Alcuin in to begin with. However, the Tyrant Bergoglio noticed what was going on and began to put pressure on Bishop Rey through the anti-pope's control of the Church hierarchy, and Rey began to back away from his commitments. From what Dom Alcuin says, we can expect Rey to be removed entirely, and soon.

Notice how the wild boar Bergoglio roots out Traditional Liturgy at every opportunity, yet allows his highest-level henchman in the U.S., Cupich the Unspeakable, allow Masses like this; examples could be heavily multiplied.

Notice how the evil Cupich can bless a pagan Chinese dragon, but crap himself all over traditional Masses. I ask every one of you, is that "Catholic"? It is not, indeed.

To the interviewer's query about whether they will just continue on, unimpeded, Dom Alcuin Reid answered:

That is our vocation and our duty to which we are vowed before Almighty God. We must be faithful to that. We can do nothing else without becoming mere hirelings that flee with the onset of the wolves (cf. Jn 10:23).

If we must be canonically independent for a while, so be it. We do not wish this, of course, and shall ensure that we maintain good relations with other monastics and shall invite appropriately experienced monks to make visitations every three years, and so on. If we must be independent, we must not become insular. In time, in God’s Providence, the authorities will come to recognise the integrity of our life and grant us the appropriate authorisation—as has happened in the not-so-distant past.

Dom Alcuin notes about their situation that:

The most obvious parallel is that of the first two decades of the history of the Abbey of Le Barroux: its founder, Dom Gerard Calvet, was suspended and expelled from the Benedictine order for having his men ordained without permission (those ordained were suspended also)—only for him to be blessed as an abbot by a cardinal sent by the Vatican some fifteen years later.

Let us not forget the origins of the Fraternity of St Peter or of the Institute of the Good Shepherd: they would not exist today if it were not for the conscientious disobedience of several decades ago that ensured that the Society of St Pius X continued on when it was canonically suppressed in the 1970s.

People who benefit from the good work of these Institutes today, or indeed who admire the Abbey of Le Barroux, should not forget the fact that they exist today because historically their founders took conscientious decisions to ignore parts of canon law and decrees of suppression that would have otherwise brought about their death. Our times, unfortunately, seem to be becoming as extraordinary as were theirs and may well necessitate similar actions.

AnP again:

You-all see the pattern. God's supposed servants on Earth, the official Vatican II Church, does what it can to wreck, sink, and otherwise put down actual Catholicism as it has always been. How long do we Catholics (i.e. Catholics who love and venerate Traditional Catholicism as opposed to "Spaghetti Protestantism") have to listen to the stupid refrain: "Croppy, lie down!" (as the Ulster Orangemen put it). We always have to listen to that sludge: "You ignorant Catholic swine," now even from our "own" Churchmen. (But of course, they're not, are they? How can they be "Catholic" Churchmen?)

• Protestants traditionally loathe Catholicism because it insists on both full explanation (in precise theological detail) and full, formal liturgical celebration (Traditional Liturgy) of the Transubstantiation of the Bread and Wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. ("Transubstantiation" comes from the 13th century but it describes what the Church always taught.) 
• Protestants used to complain, "You re-sacrifice Christ!" which is just woefully ignorant. 
• On the other hand, the haughty, overbearing Fourteen Orthodox Churches also insist Catholics are too precise in our theological understandings of the most Holy Eucharist. They supposedly intentionally want to keep understanding vaguer, apparently in order to increase "the mystery". Whatever.
• The Latin Church, like the road-building, highly organized Romans, has always striven to for precise definitions and laws and dogmas of belief. It is in the nature of that ancient Church.
• So we end up with these Vatican II eunuchs trying to please both sets of heretics, although more the Protestants than the Orthodox, as Bugnini himself said. That of course pleased NO ONE on any side on the divide. How could it? The essential, basic, foundational idea of changing the Mass is intrinsically flawed. Can we admit that now?

Therefore, my friends, we can all praise God for raising up these humble warriors of the Monastère Saint-Benoît, fighting via prayer and labor for True Faith and their "humble obstinacy" (if I may so put it) in support to the clear will of Almighty God. And we can be certain, as the Bad Guys push this ever further, ever more strongly, that an ever stronger reaction will be created. Mainstream Trad T.S. Flanders has an interesting article here at OnePeterFive: Traditionis Custodes One Year Later. Flanders points out that the current reaction to Bergoglio's anti-Mass promulgations and edicts are not remotely like the surrender Churchmen provided the Vatican in the early 1970s. And that is very true. We just won't surrender now like we did then. At least half of the world's bishops have done nothing to restict the TLM, Flanders says. Although he correctly points out that the Bad Guys are so ensconced in the Vatican apparatus now that they will maintain their position for a long while yet. Anyway, a good article to reflect upon.

Church of Mirrors

As I have been saying for years, Bergoglio & Co. think they're pushing us out of the Church, but what they're doing is pushing themselves out. It's like one of those magic themes where some fakir is visited in prison by his enemies, who laugh that he's in their prison, only to see, in shock, that they're the ones in prison, and he's on the other side of the bars, the outside of the bars, as he walks away.

The heretics are in the same illusion. The more they exert control to better implement their bizarre changes, the more obvious they are not 'Catholic' at all, and the plainer that becomes, in turn, the more Catholics realize what's going on. It's a descending loop Bergi and friends cannot escape from – but the more and more they nosedive, the more Catholics do escape from. Ironic. They're busy doing God's will when that is the last thing they want to do!

Simply Unbelievable: Cupich shuts down the Institute of Christ the King in Chicago

 Amici,

Can we hate them now? Yes, pray for their conversion because they're going to Hell. I know that sounds judgmental, it sounds presumptuous. But when some weird character starts "petting" or "caressing" your child, do you stand there and say to yourself, "I don't want to be judgmental"? If someone breaks into your house where your wife and kids are sleeping, do you "turn the other cheek"?

Bottom line in all this: You don't get to be a true, old-fashioned no-holds-barred Pharisee, not after all what Our Blessed Lord went through with them during his Earthly ministry. Enough is enough.

Cardinal Cupich, Bergoglio's chief (spiritual) eunuch in the U.S., Bergoglio's homunculus with the soul that would embarrass a cockroach, in the U.S. is shutting down the Institute of Christ the King in Chicago. Excerpt:

Cupich of Chicago has told the members of the Institute of Christ the King in Chicago, that he is effectively shutting them down as of 1 August. This will be formally announced on Sunday at the Institute’s church on the South Side of Chicago.

No Masses. Nothing. 31 July is their last day to function.

I’m sorry that the Institute itself was not able to break the news.

This is very bad for everyone, as it is another move to slam shut the gates of grace, to make the Church smaller, stingier, narrower. If a place is doing well, then – by gum – crush it.

It seems that they would rather have smoking, salt-sown craters rather than vibrant churches where Tradition is maintained. I am reminded of the fateful words of Tacitus about the Romans in Germany: “Where they make a desert, they call it peace.”

AnP again: If we don't hate sin, hate sinful stupidity, hate the sinful Vatican II Church lies that have lain as thick as the Greenland ice cap for these past 60 years, what are we? The Church of Laodicea, of course. And that's precisely the church Bergoglio, Cupich, and the Modernists what us to be. The kind that blesses Chinese dragons; yes, Cupich did that, the fool.

No man who practices deceit

shall live within my house.

No man who utters lies shall stand

before my eyes.

Morning by morning I will silence

all the wicked in the land,

Uprooting from the city of the Lord

all who do evil.

Psalm 101 (Douay-Rheims Psalm 100)

Of course, the more they do inexpressibly stupid things like this, the shorter their rule becomes, and when they fall, and they will, they'll fall utterly flat. Their absolute flatness will mirror the flatness of their souls.

UPDATE: Prophecy and "....the tomb seething with worms that is the Bergoglian church" - Viganò

In yesterday's article titled Prophecy and "....the tomb seething with worms that is the Bergoglian church", I mentioned Global Warming/Climate Change.

There's been some new developments.

Trying to live up the the lie that is "Climate Change" by "Going Green" in energy production, governments around the world are in tremendous stress. The government of Sri Lanka seems to have collapsed, and now the prime ministers of Italy and Estonia have just resigned, joining Boris Johnson in the unemployment line. Pity we can't get ride of the Biden Regime so easily!

Another item concerned Covid and the testing for it. A friend told me he had acquired Covid. I wrote him back asking how he knows he has Covid, and he's now responded. He says he experienced classic Covid symptoms – which can come with other sorts of illness, of course – and his regularly-taken antigen test turned positive, then a subsequent PCR test he engaged confirmed it. 

He's rock-solid in believing this, and we are in Placebo/Nocebo territory. If one believes one will recover, he likely will; if one things he cannot (nocebo), he might not. And of course this works for the inbetween state of neither dying nor being healthy, but just being sick.

I don't try to argue. I tried early on, but that didn't work. Some folks have bought into "the narrative" about Covid, and there's no shifting them. There's no "Minority Report" with such folks. So be it.  

Though of course I could argue, if I thought it would do any good. Here are five items to know about if you want to argue against the Covid tests.

1. First of all, whenever you are ill, either from toxins from any source: old-fashioned poisons, EMFs, malnutrition, or stress, kidney or gall stones, whatever, these cause cellular degeneration and produce a lot of exosomes, virus-sized genetic carrying items that clean up cell detritus and communicate one's health status to other parts of the body. All of these things in turn ring alarm bells in these tests: antigen, antibody, PCR, etc. (I have COPD, for example, and more or less chronic kidney stones: any Covid test would scream bloody murder if I was stupid enough to let myself be tested.)
2. Now, you-all know what I think of the PCR. As for the antigen/antibody tests (closely related to each other but still not quite the same): "An antigen is a molecule that stimulates an immune response by activating white blood cells that fight disease. Antigens may be present on invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and transplanted organs, or on abnormal cells, such as cancer cells." Whew. Right there one has an entire HOST of possibilities to juggle. How do you remotely decide among all that to declare, as it were: "I'll take Door Number 3, Bob!" 
3. So an antigen test is a diagnostic test testing for pathogen detection that registers the presence or absence of a particular antigen of an illness-causing pathogen. But what if you have never isolated, or purified, and then characterized, the pathogen in question? With Covid, they've published articles saying they've isolated it. Indeed, that looks good in the paper's title. But read the fine print in the Method section. I proofread a lot of scientific papers in sociology, and while they're generally pretty good, always the most tedious part is the Methods section. Yet it is the most significant section. If you read that section carefully, you'll occasionally find a pretty slipshod "method". A smallish sample might be involved. Restricted criteria. A lot of supposition in drawing conclusions can easily manifest itself. Even guesswork. All that can exist in "hard science" papers too, along with always a lot of Star Trek Next Generation-type "technobabble". See this mainstream news article from 2018 about the failure of scientific papers. But everyone wants to dwell on the Conclusion's section. Yet that is only as good as the Methods section proves itself to be. 
4. For Covid, they used the cell-culture method invented 60 years ago to "characterize" a hodge-podge celluar-biotic mixture drawn – only in part, mind you – from a single middle-aged Wuhan citizen. We are talking about specific molecules here drawn from molecular soup, and the soupier it is, the easier to find the "specific" genetics! How can one test for anything in that context? The PCR itself "tests" for a sequence of DNA drawn from the cell-culture method used on that Wuhan fellow, and it does so by repeated cycles of magnification, and everyone knows the more cycles you run, the more positives you get! But again, how can you test for Covid genetic when you've never isolated and purified Covid? There's no way to know that the bit of material you have is either unique or even originated in the virus you're testing for. And most importantly: remember, the package insert for the PCR and antibody tests say that you may get a false positive if you have one of about 40 conditions!
5. The whole thing is simply nuts. All of these tests trigger positives if you are ill, and being ill means by definition to have a higher concentration of bio-detritus floating about your system. It is a classic case of finding what you're looking for or also 'the effect proves the cause', when in all the history of virology, we've never truly found a virus that causes a disease. (Or even extracted a virus from human body fluid.

Such are my updates. Keep in mind that "science" is now mostly technology. How do you know you have X disease? Mostly because machines tell you so. Physicians don't run the machines, either, but rather techs. (A lot cheaper to employ!) And whereas "science" wants to know, and should be hyper-rigorous in proving any thesis, technology wants to make, period, and make primarily a profit. Always keep that in mind. By itself, it explains a great deal of the whole Covid debacle.

Prophecy and "....the tomb seething with worms that is the Bergoglian church" - Viganò

Preach it, Brother Viganò! The good archbishop was right on target calling the Bergoglian nightmare anti-church "the tomb seething with worms."

If you are not familiar with Bergoglio's treatment of poor Fr. Missigbètò, check this out:

Archbishop Viganò on Bergoglio's crucifixion of Abbé Gbénou (Father Jesusmary Missigbètò).

"Permit me," Archbishop Viganò writes, "to express my spiritual closeness to you at a moment of great trial for you: as a baptized Catholic and as a Minister of God, it must be painful for you to be accused by the same person who, with the mercy that distinguishes his every act, receives notorious abortionists, those who are publicly cohabiting, transvestites, sodomites, rebellious clerics, heretics, usurers, and those who starve their people."

Preach it, Brother Viganò!

Amici,

We need a national – indeed, an international – "walkaway" from the Bergoglian anti-church. We need a national walkaway from the insane, dribbling, Satan-worshiping Biden Regime. See LifeSiteNews here and here for evidence of that assertion.

We also need a "Just Say No!" to ALL vaccinations, not just the Covid ones. Truly. Edward Jenner was supposed to have cured smallpox. That's certainly what I've always read. Until I didn't. Until I found out England's largest smallpox epidemics (yes, plural) occurred 60+ years or so AFTER Jenner's vaccine had begun making the rounds, and within  a decade of so of Parliament passing vaccine "mandates". How's that for evidence?

And then there's the Polio vaccine triumph – except it didn't happen. American polio was produced at first by an arsenic-based spray used on fruit trees, which started in the later 1800s, and then the polio seems to have mutated a bit when DDT began to be used in the 1950s. That's why you never read about polio in the U.S. in the colonial period, or the first 2/3s of the 19th century. With the abandonment of DDT in the early '60s, what polio remained frittered away. India today claims triumph over polio because of the vaccines, except it didn't happen. Polio is still rampant there, they just call it by a new name: Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP), which is said to be clinically indistinguishable from polio.

C'mon, as Biden would say. How much of this nonsense do we have to suffer through? Now, just the other day, an old acquaintance of mine, whom a few of you knew, and who was one of the first to get his Covid "vaccine" and who then developed heart arrhythmia, reported to me that he now has Covid. (This is apparently super-common around the world, now.) He remains apparently clueless. Honestly. Is that possible? I wrote him back asking how he knows he has Covid, and he's not responded. My wife says he no doubt took that as a "trigger mechanism" and now won't respond to me. So be it.

And then of course there's global warming. Probably the most hilarious thing I've read is that dear old AMLO, president of Mexico, God bless him, is offering Biden salvation via oil and other items! You know stuff that Texas, for one, cannot now produce, such as electricity! (All because Texas Republicans insisted on wind farms and Biden stopped much of U.S. oil production. Mexican oil is "sour" and takes a lot of refining.) 

I don't know which is worse, the worms in the Bergoglian Church: new cardinal says Church must embrace divorced and gay, or the worms in Washington D.C. whether on ones in government or the wormy crew in Biden's rotten skull.

For our sanity and our salvation, we need to practice spiritual detachment, as Fr. Ripperger explains in detail here for we are running out of time. Prophecy is occurring. Prophecy dire indeed. 

Whether you are a Protestant or Catholic or Orthodox, an atheist, a Jew, or Muslim, you had better listen to Our Lady's prophecies, from those of Our Lady of Good Success, made to Mariana de Jesus Torres about 1600 that concern our times today, on through Fatima and Our Lady of Akita (1970s). They're coming true.

Pray. And remember, as Professor Matthias Desmet explains, only those totalitarian systems triumph who opposition gives up and goes underground. See Dr. Matthias Desmet here: 

Dr. Matthias Desmet: We Can Disrupt The Mass Hypnosis So Long As The Dissent Voice Continues To Speak. 

Pray.

My response to "Stanford is injecting children right now in a trial!"

Amici,

A commentator ("coop") at Steve Kirsch's site posted the following comment:

Stanford is injecting children right now in a trial!

https://stanmed.stanford.edu/2021issue2/upfront/clinical-trail-children-covid-vaccines.html

“Since May, researchers have tested whether the vaccine produces an immune response and prevents COVID-19 in children 5 through 11 years old.

The Stanford study site is also evaluating vaccine dosages for children 6 months through 4 years old.

Final results for the older age group are expected later this year.

“Children under 18 make up about a quarter of the U.S. population, so if we want to get the virus under control, we really need to include them,” said Yvonne Maldonado, MD, who is running the trials’ Stanford site.

Maldonado is the Taube Professor in Global Health and Infectious Diseases at Stanford."

AnP:

To which insanity, I responded:

“Children under 18 make up about a quarter of the U.S. population, so if we want to get the virus under control, we really need to include them,” said Yvonne Maldonado, MD, who is running the trials’ Stanford site." 

Point 1 Children have never been shown to be adversely affected in the first place, as carriers or as ill children. Focusing on them therefore is either ontologically stupid or it has nefarious purpose. There can be no escaping either conclusion. 

Point 2 According to standard virus theory, these waves of plagues come and go naturally, they have well-recognized "life-cycles" that play out, and have done for recorded history, and interfering with that natural cycle causes the viruses to be both longer-lasting and more virulent. 

Point 3 Prove the damned thing exists in the first place, you twit, before your Big Pharma masters conjure up back-magic potions to deal with it! Since "Covid" is only an "in silico" beast, solely computer modeled, you have no argument for anything, except to exhibit your ignorance. So, point four: 

Point 4 Go soak your empty head, Yvonne. 

Argument from Authority

Something quite significant needs to be understood. We lay a lot of weight on arguments from authority, but such are only as good as the authority, yet "authority" is often just old thinking that's been bypassed, or is just entrenched because it makes certain people way too much money. And therefore, to have garnered a high credential in some academic institution often means you merely know how to parrot ideas that are stale, wrong, or completely irrelevant to the current situation. Think of modern-day Marxists. Almost all of them are "idiot intellectuals" ensconced in academia, unable to change a lightbulb but more than willing to pontificate on how you, yourself, should live.

ANYONE with experience in academia knows how that works, and how petty and even feudal so much of higher education is! Usually, established systems "self-select" to reinforce what configurations (mental, spiritual, intellectual, etc.) they already have. Over any length of time, it gets near impossible to reform or reinvigorate such a system. Certain Churches obviously self-select over generations, and the current Catholic Church under Bergoglio and those who have been supporting him, the "Modernists" constitute a good example. 

Never has there been a collection of fools and knaves as we have in the dying "Vatican II Church", that "tomb seething with worms" as Archbishop Viganò so aptly refers to it. What business of any sort but the most ideologically driven would shut down the most vibrant and growing segment of itself? Yet that is what Bergoglio has done.

Historically, one sees this same phenomenon in militaries: they're always fighting the last war or resisting new ideas in general. Currently, the U.S. military is an utter fiasco. Brilliant officers are forced out, and replaced by toadies who insist men can get preggers. It's literally insane. Another military that isn't quite so "hardened of the arteries" then comes along and cleans their clock, as the U.S. military's will be. 

It also happens in the history of business and politics, and of course, medicine. 

But somehow, this pattern just keeps repeating. People seem naturally disposed to live in mental ruts, going around and around like broken records. They resist what audit systems exist. Congress is supposed to be an audit system of government, as is judicial review, but look what little good these do today! Only severe crises as what we're experiencing from the whole Covid/Covid "vaccine" mess have the chance to force change. 

And indeed, the change must be "forced"! Think of the changes the 1929 Stock Market Crash forced on the economy, or Pear Harbor forced on the U.S. military, or the early Union defeats in the Civil War. Examples from all areas could be multiplied ad infinitum.

If the absolutely mismanaged and Global Authoritarianism of this two-year Covid farce isn't enough of a crisis to force us to act, what in the world would?
