Ireland in Uproar; the Reality of Population Replacement: Irish Edition

A Chairde, Friends, Amici,

Ireland is a microcosm of Europe.

And as with France a few months ago, Ireland, specifically Dublin, is in chaos.

A broad daylight knife attack on a woman and three children (and a man) has started riots in North Dublin.

1. And it is brought on by the insane government policy of stuffing the country full of "immigrants" from far-flung countries having completely different cultures and religious beliefs.
   
2. All Western Europe is roiling with this utter insanity, this Replace the Indigenous Population Program that is swamping the USA, as well. 
3. But the Globalists are insisting on replacing native populations in a Great Migration 2.0 (the last one occurring after the fall of the Roman Empire). And no matter what the original citizens think, they are being steamrolled. That's true wherever this phenomenon occurs.
   

It is truly insane. Unskilled, backward, Muslim invaders into Europe – for the most part, though this does involve others, such as Chinese and sub-Saharan Africans, etc. – and into the USA, an endless torrent of mostly Meso- and South Americans, but lately with a very large dose of Chinese and Islamists. Why?

1. Extreme numbers of immigrants not only overwhelm culture, they overwhelm the economic system. 
2. They drive wages down but social costs of every kind up. It's nuts. 
3. This program only makes sense as a Civilization Snuffing invasion scheme, of course: Crash the nation-state, crash national identity constitutes the over-all program while traditional Western family structures are also trashed out via carnal perversions – mainly by Marxism in Entertainment and psychology, and in large part by bewildered and befuddled Social Gospel Protestant Churches and a hideously faux-Catholic Church that Bergoglio is flooding us with like an overflowing septic tank. See this story for an example of how Bergoglio and his creatures work. This story is the ecclesiastical mirror image of what the secular governments are doing to their people. The mirror image.

The Irish Story

If you've been following the news, you know that Irish people are rioting in Dublin about this stabbing attack on children (and two adults) by a Muslim immigrant, said to be Algerian. Algeria is a backward, brutal Islamic hell. This individual is a naturalized Irish citizen, apparently, and has been in the country some 20 years. Yet even so the officials are reticent to release information about him. They desperately want to control the narrative yet people are fed up with the manipulation.

Three children were knifed, and a woman who worked at their school. Ironically, it was an Irish-language school, ‘Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire’. That's Mary Mother of God's Irish school. The image of a Muslim maniac knifing Irish-language primary schoolers at a school named for the Mother of God – whom you may remember Muslims teach Muhammad daily rapes in Allah's paradise – is a sign that signifies. If you know Dublin, this is in the near north Dublin, just off Parnell Square, close to the northern end of the city’s main thoroughfare, O’Connell Street. The attack occurred a little after 2 p.m., and the knife, which passersby wrestled away from the lunatic, was thrown into the greenery of the Garden of Remembrance (An Gairdín Cuimhneacháin) that commemorates the various Irish "Risings" against the English. How ironic. How symbolic. The Garden features a wonderful bronze, The Children of Lir. See photos here of it. 

Again, the significance! What with three children harmed in the attack, one critically wounded, a girl, this couldn't get more poignant. If you don't know the legend of the Clann Lir, look it up. Three kids. The oldest a girl. Lost nearly forever.

Rair has more info. Apparently one of the passersby was a Brazilian. This follows the death over a year ago of an Irish woman, a teacher, one Aishling Murphy, killed by a Slovakian immigrant. It took them a year to convict this murderer and he'll reside in incarcerated splendor at the largess of the Irish taxpayer for the rest of his damnable life.

When I was there 16 years ago or so now (tempus fugit), some Lithuanian immigrant got drugged up and used a knife to try to slit a young woman's throat because he wanted to rob her for money pay for his drug habit. The judge tried to get her to forgive her attacker so he wouldn't spend so much time in jail. I'm not making this up. You can imagine what I would have liked to do to the judge, 1500 years of Christianity or no; or to the assailant. That's a father of kids writing.

Another link to the current story exists here. And two older headlines to give you an idea of what Ireland is like now:

• African Gangs Attack Irish People After Knife-Wielding Criminal Shot Dead By Police
• An Irish teen protects a friend from an invader's knife attack.

An Irish sports hero, Conor McGregor, has been commenting on this current atrocity, and he is exactly right. For example:

Conor McGregor: Isn’t that something. The absolute picture of weak and feeble. The most divisive of all is the weak man. One of the most horrific crimes this nation ever seen has occurred, we do not care anymore what you sad cases have got to say. In a war you are nothing. We are not backing down, we are only warming up. There will be no backing down until real change is implemented for the safety of our nation. We are not losing any more of our woman and children to sick and twisted people who should not even be in Ireland in the first place. Call it what you want. We do not care. May God help us all. Ireland for victory.

Commentary

Look, everyone. This evil is intolerable. It's happening everywhere. The occurrences are increasing rapidly. The Mainstream Media howls that anyone who opposed this population replacement and indigenous demoralization and civilizational alienation scheme is a "Right-wing Extremist." This is standard, but the level of lies is rising now to a Krakatoa-level reaction.

• They're saying about Geert Wilders new electoral victory in the Netherlands that this mainstay of the Dutch political scene is a right-wing fanatic...
  
• And they keep repeating the same about Javier Milei's victory in Argentina. 
• And not just Milei. Javier Milei's vice-president happens to be a SSPX Latin Mass devotee, and the press is saying, according to Fr. Z, "Victoria Villarruel, 48, who was elected with the recent victory of her running-mate Milei, has been described as a member of “a marginal and ultra-conservative Catholic faction” and someone who engages in “secret rituals” (the ancient Latin liturgy) by the Argentine press. She particularly drew criticism for her reported attendance of a Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) chapel in downtown Buenos Aires...". Fr Z links to the original story in the Catholic Herald.
  
• If you read the American Mainstream Media, you get all sorts of crazy lies about Donald Trump mass arresting or shooting people en masse when he is re-elected. 

N.B. I worked for a while as a substitute teacher in Columbus, Ohio's public schools, back when Bill Clinton was dumping Somalian "refugees" in Milwaukee and some in Columbus. The African-American teachers were in utter despair. Most of them were women and they could not control these "kids", the boys, who thought women were slaves and cretins. These "students" would just wander from room to room during class. Rape was common. I remember one lady saying to me in despair, "They don't even know what a toilet is for!" Right, the USA or European nations need "immigrants" like these?

The Crescendo

The tide seems to be turning, what with important elections in The Netherlands and in Argentina. Unless they murder him or try to steal the election again, Trump will triumph over any Democrat who runs. The Left is truly "freaking out". They are using Saul Alinksy's program to the point where everyone who is not a zombie is laughing at them. Remember the four years of lies about Trump we had to endure? And three (was it three?) impeachments, and now four indictments or so. They want that man destroyed. This is how unhinged the Left is.

Or is it the Left? Who is running the show? The World Economic Forum? Klaus Schwab and Yuval Harari are pathetic. They're jokes. Look at them. Listen to them. James Bond movie villains. So who? Xi, the dictator-for-life of China? Is it the big bankers, or BlackRock and Vanguard, who own the world? Is it the Intelligence Services, like the CIA, FBI, Mossad, or whatever the Chinese call their version of these? 

Whatever else these Hidden Big Shots are, they are Globalists, and they control Western governments. Neither the USA nor Canada nor the countries of the EU rule themselves, except scattered bits here and there, and for a handful of outlier nations, such as Hungary under Viktor Orbán. He's kept Hungary from being inundated with crazed foreigners, as Ireland is.

I lived in Ireland off and on for years. Met a few politicians. The national-level ones were store mannequins, like the media and police and bureaucrat idiots that Conor McGregor excoriates today. They gave every indication of being actors, front men, playing roles written for them.

Irish History

The whole point of having an independent Ireland, so thought all those idealists and revolutionaries and statesmen of the past, was that an Irish government would govern FOR the Irish people, and not exploit them. Certainly not REPLACE THEM. The English tried to do exactly that a number of times, such as the infamous Plantation of Ulster, and finally allowed the 1840s potato blight to create a famine while withholding food from the starving Irish. That, finally, worked. Sort of. 

They wrecked the country, killing one million out of eight, and forcing another million to immigrate. The psychological trauma was profound. Mass EMIGRATION became the norm. The population fell to five million for the next 100 years. The Irish gave up (not entirely, but to a large extent) their language and their identity. Even laid as low as that, however, the people still forced the creation of the "Free State" in the 1920s, and post-World War II, the "republic" (never called that; merely "the state"). 

But the English had spent hundreds of years centralizing Ireland and creating a centralized and very British bureaucracy. That stayed behind after the English left; only a handful of bureaucrats exited, and Ireland became a purely bureaucratic state run in such a way to keep the people from developing the country themselves, and forcing continued emigration. Then they joined the EU, started up the "Celtic Tiger" economy, developed a lot of jobs and imported more, but even then, the system was sick. I remember seeing a government pamphlet addressed to the Irish who had emigrated in the previous few decades asking them NOT TO COME BACK! Telling them that although the economy was better, they would not be welcome because Ireland had changed since they left, and they would not fit into the "new Ireland."

It is going to take a true revolution to drive such evil manipulators from the Irish government, and a true revolution to exorcise the demons Ireland has let in. But the people won't get help from the Irish Church. That's a wound that keeps on cursing.

Lists of Catholics Suffering Because of Bergoglio

Amici,

I've put together a "short list" of people harmed by Jorge Mario Bergoglio. See it below. The compilation is to give just an idea of the scope of Bergoglio's murderous harm to the Catholic Church. To put what Bergoglio did to Bishop Joseph Strickland into perspective is to acknowledge the need for a Crusade. It is that simple. And not a Crusade against Muslims or whoever, but against Bergoglio and his brand of "Catholics".

As all my readers know (all three or four of you!:), I don't think "Pope Francis" is actually a pope at all. But even if he were a pope, validly elected and so on, he should still be removed for the harm he's done to the Church. It is that dire a situation.

The Overall Victims

Bishop Joseph Strickland serves just as one of many papal sacrificial lambs carved up by this fraud-pope, and it is time to "take up the Cross" as the old Crusader saying had it. The entire Catholic Faithful in the world, or I should clarify: those who are not homosexual, constitute the first, most wide-spread and all-encompassing victim of Bergoglio. We've had the homosexual menace since Vatican II, especially since the 1970s when I've seen it said that the seminaries were opened to homosexuals. Be that as it may, the problem that exists now stands as all-encompassing. A good article to get a fuller picture of how bad this problem is this article at Crisis (a site I don't normally recommend). This article I highly recommend. An excerpt: "As long as this evil persists, the Church will continue to fracture and split, where eventually it will all but collapse and disappear." It is filled with shocking revelations, and is truly a "must read".

• How utterly pathetic this is. I mean, think about this. Homosexuality is a perversion found in certain cultures, like Classical Greece (but not so much in Homeric Greece) and through the traditional culture of the "Muslim Arab World", from ancient times to today (as English adventurer and oriental scholar Richard Francis Burton discovered in the 19th century, despite whatever the Koran says about this deviancy). But what Bergoglio has done is taken a modern Western debauchery common among spoiled, shallow, over-indulged narcissists (nothing is more narcissistic than homosexuality) and perverted two millennia of Catholic teaching into a formal coddling of these nitwits. And he's imposed this coddling of carnal nitwits upon the entire world! 

The Chinese Church Victims

Aside from all of us plagued by the dominance of Sodom, the biggest sacrificial lamb of all to Bergoglio's anti-Catholic lusts remains the Church in China. See Nina Shea here for details. It is beyond reprehensible and should result in his immediate removal from the papal office – if only we had "men-with-chests" in the episcopacy and cardinalate. 

He Gets Away with Murder

As for individuals, Bergoglio has picked many off so many such lambs, shooting them one-at-a-time like lambs cornered in a corral. Millions of laity are leaving the Church during his "reign", called The Bergoglio Effect. See this article on Belgium: i.e. Mass attendance down 40% from 2017. And I'm sure this has been replicated throughout the Catholic world. 

Regarding bishops/priests, yes, there do exist a few who were caught in carnal or financial depravity; however, many more such wolves-in-sheep's-clothing have risen to the heights in the Bergoglian Church, protected by papal favor. That's one of Bergoglio's trademarks. Yet Bishop Strickland stands beyond all such mud-slinging. Please take a moment to consider how Bergoglio is a serial offender, a repeated "sacker of holy men":

1. Bishop Strickland stands in the spotlight now, yet before him stood Puerto Rico's Bishop Daniel Fernández Torres, relieved in early March 2022. Bishop Torres was too orthodox and resisted the Bergoglian church's insane Covid demands and restrictions.
   
2. Then there's Bishop Dominique Rey, 71, of Fréjus-Toulon Diocese, France. Bergoglio has been harassing him for years because Rey was the bishop who has been supporting Tradition, and encouraged Dom Alcuin Reid to be the founding Prior of the Monastère Saint-Benoît in the diocese of Fréjus-Toulon; Reid is a liturgical scholar of international renown, but his monastery had to go separatist – remove itself from Rome's jurisdiction – to escape Bergoglio's closing it down. So, Bergoglio increased punishing Bishop Rey in various ways – such as refusing to allow Rey's seminarians to be ordained – and now has sidelined him with a coadjutor bishop.
3. Bergoglio did the same to Rhode Island Bishop Thomas Tobin in Providence. Tobin hadn't quite reached 75, when he had to retire, but the Bergoglian regime gave him a coadjutor months before retirement because this Tobin (not to be confused with Cardinal Joseph "Nighty-night-baby-I-love-you" Tobin in New Jersey, a homosexual who lived with an Italian body builder for some time) served as a very vocal social media critic of the Vatican regime. Thomas Tobin suffered Bergoglio's vendetta, even on the cusp of his retirement. (Just to scare the other bishops; it worked.)
   
4. And in effect, for all practicable purposes, so were Cardinals Müller and Burke, too, "cancelled" whom Bergoglio sacked from their high offices and then, giving them only crumbs, or nothing, essentially letting them sell apples on the street corner, you know, à la Cardinal Sarah.
5. Bergoglio's first Trad bishop to axe was a South American Paraguayan Bishop, Rogelio Ricardo Livieres Plano, removed back in 2014, an Opus Dei bishop "who had clashed with his fellow bishops on ideological grounds and promoted a priest accused of inappropriate sexual behavior." Right. If they can squeeze in a sex rap on a "conservative" bishop they will, while letting progressive bishops do what they want carnally: remember the complicated case of very orthodox (also Opus Dei-related and also TLM promoting) Bishop Robert Finn? One has to wonder were Finn as "gay" as Nighty-night" Tobin, if Finn wouldn't have been a cardinal by now. Finn resigned in 2015, two years after Bergoglio came in.
   
6. I'm sure there are others. Let's not forget Georg Gänswein! I think this former secretary to Benedict XVI is now literally selling apples.
   
7. And moving beyond bishops, early in 2017 what about the head of the Order of Malta! Bergoglio forced out the Order's Grand Master Fra' Matthew Festing. Festing was far too "conservative", you see? Bergoglio compromised the entire Order for his pet peeves.
   
8. And what about those poor Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate? It was a vibrant Trad order that Bergoglio had his henchmen in the Congregation for Religious ravage and wreck. Or for that matter, Bergoglio's war against the women's contemplative orders? This has been odious for years, but the Ogre who protects a nun rapist (Marko Rubnik) gets away with it. 
9. And lastly, let us return to China. Liz Yore discusses Bergoglio's evil abominations here with Steve Bannon. 

Basic Reality

"Damn Bergoglio and the horse he rode in on." That's actually not too harsh because this "pope" is hell and death to the Catholic Church. As I wrote the other day, if you insist he is actually pope you will be rewarded by watching him burn the Church down. After reviewing a list like this, we can say even were he lawfully pope, he's still hell-bent on burning the Church down.

This guy is a disaster for the Church. In the Old Mass (and I remember something of it in the New), at the Prayers before the Consecration, it says, "...Vouchsafe to preserve and govern her (the Church) in peace and union throughout the world, together with Thy servant N., our Pope, and N., our Bishop, and all who follow and foster the Catholic and Apostolic Faith." (I think the new rite says "hold and teach", but whatever.)

Yet how in anyone's imagination – no matter how untethered from reality – can it be said Bergoglio follows and fosters, or holds and teaches, the Catholic and Apostolic Faith? He even makes light of and dismisses the Deposit of Faith! Or how can it be said he governs the Church in peace and unity?

If he does, then I'm the Aga Khan. 

 An Préachán

They came for the TLM, then Bishop Strickland. They'll come for you.

Amici,

To borrow from Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

• They've come for the TLM. Then they've come for Bishop Strickland. So, when they come for you, what are you going to do?

Well, "Pope" Francis has removed, fired, given the push (or the boot) etc. to Bishop Joseph Strickland. I humbly offer a number of considerations to reflect upon.

First

The nature of information.

We have to understand this information. Information has become "siloed", with everyone a specialist in their narrow area, but not comprehending the whole. It's a means of control. As such, it worked perfectly to subject doctors and scientists to the Covid fraud. If you read regularly The Conservative Treehouse, you get "the big picture" of what's happening to the U.S. Federal government, with extensive notes and cross-references. It is a "real eye-opener". A revelation. But as "Sundance" the author of that blog says, even the most important Conservative politicians in D.C. do NOT know what the average TCT reader knows, and this is because their information is "siloed", i.e. segregated into a hundred "silos" of information, so that none of them knows, and few can see, the "big picture". How it is all connected. It's also called "situational awareness."

The same situational awareness need is true for Catholics and what is happening in the Church. For example, Bishop Strickland talks here to John Henry Weston at Lifesitenews. It's a great interview, but here again, the good bishop's information is siloed. He does not see the over-all picture or he would fight like the salvation of millions of souls depend on it, because they do. 

• For example, he insists Bergoglio is pope, and that he prays and asks we all pray for "the pope". 
• But the truth is, Bergoglio is Leon Trotsky. He's Joe Stalin. He's Mao. Bergoglio shows this by all his actions, half-actions, two-steps into a new Church then his back-steps into saying he supports the old. Bergoglio has demonstrated by his actions that he hates the Church and wants to replace it. He's the last candidate for a "death bed conversion". 
• Information kept in silos. It's all a game, a "fog of war" designed to mislead, obfuscate, confuse, and CONQUER the Church; i.e. you.

Second

The Facts of the case

Texas Bishop Strickland was known as "America's Bishop" because he stood up for Traditional Catholic moral belief and Catholic identity. The Texan traveled the country, such as to the protest outside Dodgers' Stadium in the alien planet of Los Angeles. Los Angeles' own bishops and archbishop would not stand with the protesters, who were deploring the Dodgers' management bestowing an award on obscene carnal deviants whose satanist shtick is mocking Catholic women religious. Los Angeles' own bishops and archbishops would not stand with the protesters, remember. (Feckless, feckless "silo cowards".) Bishop Strickland stood by the laity protesting that day. Even Jews helped to protest, and Protestants. Not the Catholic hierarchy. 

Bishop Strickland went to Rome last month to stand with Traditionalist Catholics and "Conservative" Catholics trying to counter-balance Bergoglio's "Ape of the Church", his "Synodal Church". AND Bishop Strickland, consecrated as a bishop by Pope Benedict XVI, has been steadily arguing against Bergoglio and his creeping "French Revolution in the Church"*.

• *As an example of "breaking the silo", this phrase Cardinal Suenens first uttered during Vatican II, 60 some years ago! The quote is: "Vatican II was 1789 in the Church". And this quote mirrors another by another Council insider and "mover and player" Fr. Yves Congar: i.e. that in the Vatican II council, "the Church had its October Revolution", or of Cardinal Ratzinger, also at the Council, later known as Benedict XVI and "pope emeritus" "Fr. Benedict", who confessed that "Vatican II was an anti-Syllabus". Please, everyone remember, the French Revolution (and the October Revolution in its time) was a hellish, blood-soaked (Catholic blood-soaked; see the Vendée) abomination, and it took one of history's greatest generals to kill it. Simply put, the Progressive movers and shakers at Vatican II were full-scale Trotskys and Stalins. Not confused, well-intentioned, or just "misunderstood" churchmen.

Also, Bishop Strickland refused to implement Bergoglio's repugnant Traditionis custodes ("Guardians" – or equally "Jailers – of Tradition"), although Fr. Ripperger says he has heard "through the grapevine" that such wasn't the cause of Strickland's removal. Bishop Strickland also opposed the unfettered, nation-destroying uncontrolled immigration into the U.S.A. – something his lackey, brown-nosing replacement is in favor of and which actually funds the feckless American traitor bishops via the Federal government, an unholy alliance if ever there was one! – and Strickland opposed the Gay Mafia's comprehensive Church-takeover agenda (which will literally destroy and dishonor and putrefy the Church, and which has already cost it 100s of millions of dollars) while Strickland disputed Bergoglio and the dying Vatican II Church's worship of the infamous, deadly anti-human "vaccine" and the pharmaceutical culture's doctrine of human frailty and our dependence of "Big Pharma" just to reside on this planet. (A notion that makes a mockery of both Biblical Creation and Darwinian Evolution. That's quite a feat!)

So, all of this justified Bergoglio, whom I call the Ogre, the Wild Boar, Leon Trotsky, to jettison Strickland. (No, I'm not very nice to Tio Jorge.)

Third

The bottom line with Bergoglio and any and every Catholic – whether Liberal, Progressive, Middle-of-the-road, Conservative, or Traditionalist (the latter itself having a number of shades and permutations) – is that we each must decide for ourselves, were we to have garnered a PhD in theology or not, whether this Church Destroyer (what else is he? Misunderstood?) is actual pope or not. In short, I'm asking you to leave "the silo" you're in.

• This is primary, and a fortiori. See the whole vista. Answer that he is pope, and watch him burn the Church down, because he's going to do it. Answer that he isn't, then join the real Catholic Church – you know, the one already half in the Catacombs.

I would argue Bergoglio is not the pope, and so therefore anyone, including poor Bishop Strickland, an eminently good guy, is deeply misled for believing that Bergoglio is the pope. Strickland has honored his executioner. He's validated his episcopal murderer. 

To me, it is self-evident that this Argentine Disaster and, let's say it plainly, creep (only a creep tolerates carnal deviancy), is not a pope. For simpletons like myself standing outside of any silo, Bergoglio doesn't act like a pope, govern like a pope, remotely embody what popes are supposed to do – which remember, consists primarily in defending the Deposit of Faith (which as Archbishop Lefebvre wrote WAS Tradition (a document even more relevant today than when written). Bergoglio does NONE of those things. Slowly, and now faster since "Fr. Benedict" died last year, Bergoglio is spreading confusion, heresy, a "fog of war" as well as defending deviants – amongst a host of examples, see all things related to the nun-rapist and demon-eye artist Marko Rupnik, whom Bergoglio has "rehabilitated".

Fourth

Information from outside the usual silos

Bergoglio has an agenda, in other words, and it isn't Catholic. As Fr Ripperger said (link further below): 

"...But that I think that they would have removed (Strickland) anyway for the other statements that he made that have [38:32] nothing to do with the Traditional Latin Mass or it just has to do with the fact that they don't want to adhere to the tradition themselves; I mean, and that their agenda is to make this into a new Church. I mean (Cardinal) Roche himself said it this is a new Church. I just want to know okay well if this is a new [38:50} church, is this the same as the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church – because if it's not then we have a problem."

Wow. Yeah. We do, indeed, Father R.

For technical arguments on why Bergoglio isn't pope, you can go to Ann Barnhardt's site, or read Archbishop Viganò here. A synopsis: "...given the role the Saint Gallen mafia played in the 2013 conclave, Pope Francis does not have and never did have the intention of serving as the head of the Catholic Church. Rather he hid his intentions from electors with the end goal of using the authority of the papacy to undermine the Church and to make it the 'handmaid' of the New World Order." And over at AKA Catholic, Louie Verrecchio, who is a classic sedevacantist, has a great column wherein he explains about heresy, especially material heretic vs formal heretics, and how formal heretics (Bergoglio) cannot be pope. And if Verrecchio doesn't satisfy, here's an interview with a proper Catholic philosopher, John Gravino, who explains how Bergoglio is a formal heretic.

As I insist, all this is self-evident. But you have to leave the silos to see it.

Fifth

Two Good Men in silos

As an example of seeing only what's in your silo, here is an intellectual and deeply historical discussion by Fr. Ripperger and Catholic classics publisher Ryan Grant: Magisterial Authority: What are the Limits? (and thankfully it has a transcript available). Both esteemed men obviously believe Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the actual pope. But notice the endless knotting and weaving necessary to maintain that fiction as evidence mounts. I'll make a couple of observations.

1. Fr. Ripperger says that a pope has the authority to remove a bishop for any cause, and apparently no cause at all (Bergoglio is not given a reason for firing Strickland as of yet). Ripperger argues that a pope has the legal right to do this, but why would a true pope do something so evil? In the past, various secular rulers got popes to do so, and even (King Philip the Fair of France) deposed popes! But popes on their own casting down good men? And doing it regularly? (They're also the only sort Bergoglo removes.) Anyway, consider the logic. I take Fr. Ripperger's comment to mean a pope has the legal right to do an immoral, or certainly – as Fr. Ripperger himself affirms – an unjust thing, such as the removal of Strickland. Contrary to this, however, I myself would argue that sure, in civil law, such is not only possible but massively frequent. Everyone knows civil law has little to do with actual justice. In any legal situation relating to a God and the Church, however, with Church rulers being God's vicars and who derive ALL their authority from Him, a legal right can become illegal because Church canon law and a pope's personal rule – popes make canon law – are not based on the decisions of a parliament or congress. Remember the old saying, "If you love both (secular) law and sausages, you don't want to see how either is made."
   
2. Because He is Justice itself, in His Being, God stands profoundly insulted and disrespected by any immoral or unjust legal ruling in ALL cases, but much more directly when the Church is involved. So, therefore, Bergoglio has NO right to sack Strickland, even were Bergoglio pope, which he isn't. 

Secondly,

1. Father Ripperger returns to one of his favorite themes that for most Catholics, we should not pay too much attention to what the pope or hierarchy involve themselves with, but rather focus on living the best Christian life we can. Medieval peasants mostly didn't even know who the pope was at a given time, he argues, or at least it is unlikely that they did. Fr. Ripperger said:
   [50:44] "...Your average peasant in medieval Europe didn't know probably in some cases even the name of the Pope and if they did know the name of the Pope because they probably heard it in the cannon, they may not even know what he was up to and what he was actually doing and except in so far as is maybe they might have heard stories or stuff here and there – but the fact that we know when
   the pope is sneezing today is a huge problem because what's happening is people just hyper-focused on the guy rather than ... leading their Catholic life. Look, unless the pope speaks infallibly or unless he speaks in a matter that the theological note is such that you're bound to take a look at this thing and read it the better thing to do is just ignore that all everything's necessary salvation has already been revealed. Just live your Catholic life and stop tuning into all that. I think that's one of the principal ways I think that people can [51:34] kind of start calming down..."

• "The better thing to do is just ignore" it? Can the people of the Tyler diocese ignore it? Of course the problem with this attitude is glaringly obvious. Indeed, impossible to miss. How can you lead a Catholic life when you're told that life includes the gay carnal acts for which Sodom was obliterated, or cohabitating outside of marriage "Catholics", and now in general embracing the lecherous and immoral? Or the Church support of Moloch-worshiping fiends who attain high political or cultural office? (Strickland was removed in part for calling Bergoglio out on that very thing.)
  
• Or imagine being the best private, corporal, sergeant you can be; then imagine your general is selling your unit out to the enemy and your colonel is an utter incompetent, and your major is too busy cross-dressing to know what's going on.
  
• What good does being a great enlisted man or "mere Catholic" do you when your leaders are evil and gone rogue?
• Or imagine you're a passenger on the Titanic. The ship stops. You tell yourself, well, I'm just a passenger. Not my business to run the ship. Maybe so, but you had better force yourself into some situational awareness or you're going to be a passenger only to Davy Jones' Locker.
  

Bottom Line

We cannot ignore what's going on in either our governments or our Church. Not. Possible. Not. Wise. God would tell us we're the Church of Laodicea. (He knows all about that sort of Church.) And Fr. Ripperger acknowledges this by arguing that we need to know as much about the Faith as we can, and he suggests a book he's written to that effect. But then again, you see the problem. You buy Fr. Ripperger's book and study hard, yet then your priest, pressured by the bishop, pressured by Bergoglio's evil crew, tells you to burn the book!

• I for one would love to ask Fr. Ripperger, "They've come for the TLM, they've come for Bishop Strickland. When they come for you, what are you going to do?"
  

Conclusion

Strickland's fall was evil, part of a 60-year-old plan, and we need to take the blinders off

We Catholics (and Orthodox) have priests for one reason: in order to confect the sacraments, by our participation in which we are saved. And then to receive the sacraments, of course, the clergy need to teach us and themselves exemplify the strictest morality because that is what God has ALWAYS demanded. From Adam and Eve to Noah to Moses to King David to Our Lord, Who said "Be perfect...". (St. Matthew 5:48) The Ten Commandents are not ten suggestions (Bergoglio has indeed taught the latter). 

The Lord God set this system up in the Old Testament with Five Covenants He made with Patriarchs after the very First One He made with Creation (Genesis 2, first verses). Baptism anyone can do, many say, but they have to say the words right while pouring the water correctly; Confession and Last Rites need a priest. Confirmation and Holy Orders need bishops. But the paramount sacrament is the Seventh, the New Covenant, the New Testament, which is the Most Holy Eucharist (see St. John's Gospel, chapter 6 and St. Paul, 1 Cor 11, v 17ff, and in general the whole "You are a new creation in Christ" comments thick in both St. John and St. Paul). Protestants formally deny Our Lord Christ's Real Presence in the Most Holy Eucharist, which is of course insane. That's the whole point of the operation, the whole point of the religion, to transform us in Christ. Otherwise, Christianity is a Trinitarian form of Islam.

But then what are we Catholics to say of a Church that has verbally continued to teach the Real Presence yet officially detaught or slighted the doctrine via its now very dated "new" 1960s Mass and Liturgical prayers? It is an example of pure cognitive dissonance. One cannot separate Lex orandi from Lex credendi and Lex vivendi. Prayer and belief are inseparable. But for 60 years now we've suffered from a Church of which God can say "This people honoureth me with their lips: but their heart is far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men." (St Matthew 15:8-9) Can a more perfect critique be made of the Bugnini/Paul VI committee-created Novus Ordo Mass, as opposed to the millennia old, Holy Ghost directed Vetus Ordo? I.e. the TLM? Actually the oldest Christian rite of all?

Crunch time has now come. We simply cannot win this 60-year-long "French/October Revolution" in the Church as long as we remain trapped in the many individual silos the complicated story forces us into. We cannot maintain the ontological fiction that Jorge Mario Bergoglio is pope and allow him to decimate our episcopacy of saintly men like Joseph Strickland. (Bergi is paralleling what Henry VIII did to St. John Fisher.) And waiting for God to "fix it" is the sin of presumption. Why? Because we made this mess – God allows evil but is not its cause; so, He will want US to fix it. Pigheadedly insisting that the Ogre is pope shall make us all cognitively dissonant. Spiritually and mentally cross-eyed. Mad as hatters. Or sealed-up alive in very small silos.

And how can mad hatters be good Christians? 

This is what sacking Bishop Strickland is all about, my friends.

It's about him, and us, and very much, you.

We Want Satan, and We Ain't Waitin'! Ohio and Kentucky's vote

Friends,

Vox populum: We want Satan and we ain't waitin'!

The notion of collective punishment revisited. 

Regarding the November 7 election: If I still resided in Ohio, I'd leave. 

God was not exactly mocked in this latest election – more like utterly ignored. And note this wasn't the case of some idiot judge somewhere who had absolutely no idea of embryology, genetics, or even metaphysics and natural law. This involved instead a majority vote of the Ohio demos for the devotees of Moloch, a.k.a. Satan, to damn all and sundry in the entire state.

That's mob rule, a.k.a. "democracy". Kinda like Original Sin. Everyone gets to be damned, you see? Unless God is particularly merciful on Judgment Day. And unless we bend over backwards to earn that mercy through prayer, fasting, and good works. No "cheap grace" this round. No Lutheran snow on a dunghill or Calvin's pre-predestination warm glow inside. The Ohio vote bore a collective out-and-proud affirmation that "We want Satan and we ain't waitin'!"

The forces of evil won in Ohio on November 7 via popular vote. They even voted in "recreational marijuana use". 24th state to do so. Great. Get stoned so you cannot notice Hell opening for you.

1. In the American context, the old way of putting this was vox populum, vox Dei. The voice of the people is the voice of God. I.e. final authority, the ultimate judge. Public opinion, solely, is God.
2. To which Ohioan General Sherman wryly commented, "Vox populum, vox humbug." ("Humbug" being a 19th century version of something much sharper today.) 
3. They want to damn us with collective guilt, much like Israel is applying to the Gazans. Most Gazans probably strongly support Hamas, but whether they do or not, the Israelis are applying collective punishment. Truly, the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23
4. Democracy implies as we benefit collectively from the actions of the majority, so the actions of the majority can damn us collectively.

Lot and Sodom

Let me solemnly assure you that Lot was saved from Sodom SOLELY because Abraham was his uncle. That's it. But a damnation resulted anyway, because Lot had chosen to live in Sodom. He had a free choice. Could have separated from Abraham and then lived most anywhere. But nope, the dope chose Sodom, which archaeology has clearly identified in Jordan northeast of the Dead Sea: a site called Tell el-Hamman. (See the videos of Dr. Steven Collins.) Collective punishment followed Lot. So, Lot's wife looked back and died and later in a cave his daughters committed unspeakable (and unthinkable) sin with him to found two bastardized "nations" of imbeciles. One daughter turned out to be the mother of what would become Moab, a hopeless pagan enemy of Israel (yet God saw to it that the nation of Moab eventually produced after many generations one Ruth, who became an ancestress of Our Lord.) What happened to Lot after that, though? Vanished from history. In inexpressible shame.

Kentucky meanwhile voted to keep its Democrat governor, who will take the first opportunity to lock the people down and force them to wear masks in the next fraudulent "plandemic". Democrats have never left off being slave masters. He'll support the national Democrats in stopping next year's election (don't think for a moment that that isn't coming!) I thought Kentuckians were smarter than that. Was I ever wrong. 

What about the Church?

I've read where the bishops of Ohio didn't campaign too diligently against the referendum. When have American bishops ever? 

1. The bishops are Siamese Twins with the Democrat Party, and today live off the largess of the Federal government paying them to manage all the illegal hordes (er, excuse me: "refugees") flooding the nation. 
2. They could have stopped abortion in its tracks back in 1973 by excommunicating any politician, starting with Ted Kennedy, who promoted abortion. 
3. Don't bishops know they have supernatural power? 
4. Don't they know exorcists can make demons scream and howl just by showing the devils a photo of the local bishop? 
5. Regarding Soros and all those financing this pro-Abort vote, the bishops could at least recite at Holy Mass the "cursing" psalms of 68:20-29 (Psalm 69 in the Jewish Masoretic/Protestant numbering) and 108/109, and others. 
6. So, they did little or nothing? Whether true or not, we needed a Fr. Altman in every parish and seated on every bishop's cathedra. Instead, they cancel him.
7. The FBI and Deep State will shut the Church down anyway; might as well go down fighting.

And please believe me when I say that Fr James Altman was and is quite right that a Catholic cannot vote for a Democrat. Democrats have not only gone full abortionist, they've gone full communist. (Someone recently wrote that if you don't believe that, look up the Democrat's national website and then look up the Communist Party USA's website and try to find any differences.)

• Being part of a "democratic" governance makes each of us responsible for what happens, and certainly a Catholic who votes for a Democrat (or a pro-Abortion "RINO") has put a millstone around their neck, one they don't usually feel, though deep down I think they know what they've done.
  
• God knows exactly what they've done and will confront them with it when it is too late for them to "change their mind" because in Eternity, one experiences the "Boundless Now" as Boethius described it, and it is too late to change one's damnation.

The Secular Explanation

In terms of secular politics, the general consensus is that "Big Money" from outside of the state bought the vote for abortion in Ohio. No doubt. Many George Soros types exist, and as Elon Musk says, Soros clearly hates humanity. Butchering babies is as inhuman as it gets. (He definitely needs a psalm read against him.) But Ohioans have to be so utterly heartless as to not care, for surely they now ALL know what abortion is and what it does. Therefore they tar all Ohioans as pro-Aborts by association: Ohio, the place where abortion RULES. And now where parents cannot stop their children from mutilating themselves.

As I say, because we can vote, when the vote is for evil, we all get tarred with that sticky sulfur-stinking offal. Myself, as well. Of course, I had requested an absentee ballot and my county Board of Elections sent it to me and I marked it to turn down the proposal, but as noted, the vote was widely in favor of adopting the amendment. Naturally, the sacraments will wash off the carrion, but we have to be ever more scrupulous in our spiritual lives because now all Hell (literally) has us in its armpit until the Tribulation – which I think has begun – runs its course.

Truly, in the words of St. Paul, we need to work out our salvation in fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12-13

I think I shall listen to Tallis. Lamentations of Jeremiah.
