The Ohio Referendum Vote: the Smog of Satan

Amici,

No one, NO ONE, should "pretend" about abortion.

Abortion is so egregiously wrong-headed, so manifestly evil, so utterly selfish and callous as to be beyond belief. Literally. I can't believe people are not instantly horrified and disgusted by the very thought of it. It is not only murder and death to the babies slaughtered, but simply the greatest spiritual wound possible to women. It is the greatest spiritual calamity to women's central role, motherhood. It is the vomit of Hell on fatherhood. 

Obviously, though, a large portion of people are OK with it or OK with "it being a private matter." That "OK" is incomprehensible to me. Yet clearly they do NOT understand there are no "private" matters. What we do in the dark affects us profoundly, for good or ill, and it has instant ramifications to all those around us, as much as what we do in the light. It impacts the overall environment of all things human. Including our spiritual dimension – our souls, our angels (good and bad: hurting the one and helping the other) and ultimately God (who notices and records everything, and is the Judge of All). That's because we are spiritual beings, not merely animals.

The whole ethos, the struts and architectural support structure of the modern world, is founded on the ridiculous, illogical Theory of Evolution, that posits we ARE just animals. We are not. So the spiritual reverberations, our spiritual "echoes", abound. When we sin, we can be said to "shed" evil like those polluted by the Covid vaccines are supposed to "shed" spike proteins. (Everything to do with Covid is a fraud.)

There's been 65 million or so abortions in the U.S. since Roe. That's a lot of evil "shed". 

The Kingship of Christ, the 'Lawfare' of Satan

Now, when our bishops and priests don't fight tooth and nail for God's sovereignty, for the Kingship of Christ on Earth, they themselves radiate or shed or echo evil. And they have to fight because the Prince of this World does not want to lose one atom of his control. Our Lord Christ conquered Hell and death, but by their inactions (and all too often their actions), the heirs of His Victory cede to Satan fractions of Christ's triumph, fractions of the grace they were bestowed by baptism. Abortion, and all the lesser moral and carnal dementia we soak ourselves in, is like a series of parliamentary resolutions ceding authority to Satan. (When you play with a Ouija Board, you cede to the devils some authority over you, even on that scale.) And every devil, down to the very Lowest, are legalistic "lawfare" warriors. They claw and bite to keep every bit of authority they're given. They're quick to complain to God for their "rights" over us, rights we gave them through sin.

Our Churchmens' actions or inaction infect all of us, therefore. Our own clergy and bishops "smog" the spiritual air. It's the "smoke of Satan" Paul VI mentioned. (Being an "environmental polluter in this spiritual sense, he ought to know!) Especially, this is true of bishops, who are responsible for not only the laity and clergy in their dioceses, but for all the non-believers (of whatever sort) in their dioceses. So many Catholics don't seem to know that. So many Catholic bishops don't seem to know that! 

For myself, regarding this referendum vote in Ohio, I particularly want to know where the new bishop of Columbus, Bishop Fernandes, was on this? Apparently, none of Ohio's bishops actively campaigned. Blessed Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, came and helped campaign, so you know The Ogre (Bergoglio) will send his imps, pixies, and pucks gunning for Bishop Strickland again.

BB Before Bergoglio vs PB Post Bergoglio

The Church stood four-square against abortion since Our Lord Christ founded it, though after 1973, the American Church being so hand-in-glove with the Democrat Party meant a great many of the American Church leaders "slow-walked" or tip-toed their opposition to it. Just as the reason the Church embraces all the illegal immigration that is destroying America (and Europe) is because the Church gets government monies to help the "refugees". They're still politically "joined to the hip" with the Democrats, even now that the latter should be properly labeled "the Communists".

PB Post Bergoglio: It's now a different story. Since his imposition on us by the sexual deviants and Freemasons in the Church, Jorge Bergoglio has dismantled all of John Paul II's efforts to align the Vat II Church against the increasingly strident Globalist forces for abortion (and homosexuality, etc.). What else would one expect from a homosexual, or "homosexualist" unbeliever like "Bergi"? I would guess that in November, when the Ohio vote comes up on this insanely evil referendum, the deceptively titled “The Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety,” to change Ohio's constitution to allow unrestricted abortion, the Democrats and RINO Republicans will, by hook or crook, get it to pass.  Some judge or other has already permanently suspended Ohio's new "heart-beat" law. A law passed through regular electoral order is canceled by unelected trolls. The U.S. judiciary is largely filled to the brim with mountebanks, imbeciles, and outright fiends, all of course paid for from the taxpayers' squeezed-out turnip blood.

Now, of course, in John Locke's political theory, the one upon which the U.S. independence and 1787 Constitution is founded, the people are supposed to be sovereign, not God. God was left out of the U.S. Constitution, and left out of the French Revolution entirely, and so on since, totally transforming Western society. So, we're handing ourselves the tickets to Hell. Legally, by our own governmental theories. We don't even need the Fallen Lightbringer and his infernal law firm for it. What a hellish "lawfare" that turns out to be, what a dodgy, depressing irony, what a smoky, rancid smog to breathe in.

The Vatican II Church explained from Mattias Desmet's psychological terms

A friend wrote me not long ago, saying,

I am reminded of the fact that without a rock to cling to, one becomes wreckage the ship of state upon the waters. The church is the answer, but certainly not certain members of the hierarchy to be sure. We still have to listen to who has the truth.

Indeed. The "modern world" is by definition an idea in which rocks, foundations, psychological safe harbors of all sorts are eschewed. The modern world doesn't want "rocky people" who are – as the notorious Bergoglio says – "rigid". Rocks are rigid. That's why we harvest them, carve them, and use them when we want to build solid, such as enduring solid architecture or solid sacred altars. Rocks endure. But "Modernism", the Church heresy, is all about "evolution", how we are so smart and so sophisticated we are that we don't need a solid foundation, or a dogmatic faith, and certainly no traditional morality or worship.

The result is a nearly dead Church, the Mainstream Church of empty churches we are all so familiar with; nearly empty except for old folks who "came of age" in the frothy 1960s. The 1960s were like the 1920s and the "Gay '90s" of the end of the 19th century, the original fin-de-siecle era Mark Twain so adroitly titled "The Gilded Age". WWI put paid to the "Gay '90s" and the Great Depression put paid to the Roaring '20s. The 1960s were more successful in polluting our souls, however, precisely because the radicals had invaded and polluted the Church herself. Before the '60s, the Church had stood as "the Rock" and foundation of sanity, the bastion of psychological certainty. But with Vatican II, all that went kaput. We were all cast adrift without an enduring social bond, without the sense-making ability when life gets tough, with all of us drowning in free-floating anxiety and an ever-present, uneasy free-floating psychological discontent.

The changes in the 1960s and 1970s Church left us adrift on psychological free-floating anxiety. But we're not supposed to be zombies, still less slaves to cheap passions and lusts and passing fancies, but instead we were to be true servants of God; thus, we are at daggers drawn with ourselves now – and our useless CEO-style bishops, who have replaced metaphysics with politics (I didn't think that up, BTW) are absolutely, truly, and most sincerely incapable of dealing with our civilizational crisis! They consult neither Holy Writ nor the Church Fathers, but they consult polls, because for them it is all politics.

One would do well to reread St. John's Gospel Chapter 10, all of it (it's long), a number of times, to the end. Notice how Our Lord plainly says there He knows His sheep and His sheep know Him. Notice how He expects us to recognize Him. The social bond He offers is strong. He expects us to respond to that. And He inspires us in that social bond. He says He leads them and dies for them, but the hired shepherds don't do that. Then the Jews, properly translated "Judeans" in St. John, harass Him and then try to kill Him via stoning. They embody the rejection of a solid social bond; they certainly reject Christ as "sense-maker" of life, as does so much of the modern world, obviously, itself so much shaped as it is by non-believers in entertainment, law, and banking.

The world Christ offers is different than that. Psychological anxiety and discontent do not exist in such an environment as He offers, but much of the Church has distanced itself (major elements of it have, not all of it by any means) from Christ the King. Tomorrow* is the Feast of Christ the King in the TLM. Search out such a Mass and "enter in" to the narthex of Christ's Kingdom, the TLM. Otherwise, try to worship in the modern Church that the descendants of those unbelievers in St. John 10 approve for us.

In the meantime, most of the modern world will be following the Beasts of Revelation, worshiping these monsters as gods because they no longer know God, do not recognize His Kingship and are alien to our Heavenly Fatherland, either spiritual or temporal.

Grim times, indeed.

Μόχθων δ’ ουκ άλλος ύπερθεν ή γας πατρίας στέρεσθαι.

There is no greater grief that the loss of one’s fatherland.

—  Euripides, 480-406 BC, Ancient Greek tragedian ‐ Medea

(Euripides knew all about free-floating psychological anxiety.)

*The priests of the TLM celebrate this feast on the last Sunday of October, and on the last Sunday before Advent in the Novus Ordo. In the Vetus Ordo, it immediately precedes the Feast of All Saints on November 1, which itself immediately precedes All Souls on November 2. 

PS November was sacred to the Ancient Celts, as Samhain, the seam on the iron tire of the year, when the old year bends around to meet the new year, and the dead and living could intermingle. The Irish kept strong remnants of this and eventually it gave rise to Halloween in English-speaking countries, a secular "Day of the Dead", as it were. As if it could not be made more shallow by commercializing it, modern "pagans" actually use it for their "religion", which cretinizes it profoundly.
