Withering article here by Michael Walsh. Maybe not as good as this one by Michael Brendan Dougherty, but
Walsh's piece has a lot of great points about abandoning the Latin, the
Trad Latin Mass, and so on. Both articles are great; both these guys are Irish-Americans and they
know how to eviscerate.
There's
always been rats in the Church, of course. Remember Judas Iscariot? The
Emperor Justinian, a man who never raised his voice, and who could
order the death of thousands, had a bishop of his burned alive because
that bishop was a homosexual. Or check out the life and times of St Peter Damian: (just one of many articles pointing out the similarities) and so on
down to "Franny Spellman", cardinal archbishop of New York.
But always before, we had the Traditional Mass, and the dignity of it -- the supreme dignity of the Rite of St. Gregory the Great in its missa cantata / missa solemnis
forms -- and both Sacred Tradition/Holy Writ and the Theology of divine
insight that got us past bad priests, bishops, and popes. Also, at the
nadir of papacy, in the 900s, we had a very strong Monastic movement.
There was always a balance, in other words, one way or another. This is
true even with the Reformation, which produced the Counter-Reformation
Church (from 1540 to 1648). But aside from a few new Athanasiuses (I'm
thinking of old Archbishop Lefebvre and our current Athanasius,
Athanasius Schneider, we have very, very few bishops willing to "take
the heat" and "stand up and be counted". (And when they do, like the
Dubia Four, they're ignored and not supported by the others.)
These
revelations from Pennsylvania will be the breaking point, however;
they're just too awful, too outrageous, too widespread: they're the
straw that breaks the camel's back. Look to some high prelate, a
Cardinal for example, to resign his position in the Vatican (or
wherever) and announce he's joining the SSPX.
That'll
be the "shot heard 'round the world".
Otherwise, it looks like the
secular law enforcement is going to have to simply start treating the
Catholic Church as a Criminal Organization. Does that sound outrageous?
Look at the facts, the cover-ups, the truth. What else can law
enforcement do? And what can we, the laity, do?
In the meantime, we've got nothing
in the mainstream Church at least (I refer to the hierarchy mainly. and
many lower-level clergy) except a cacophonous misdirection,
uncertainty, and dissimulation. Thanks to none other than John Paul II, the
mainstream Church marginalized the SSPX, but it and the Trad groups
still in Communion with Rome ARE the Catholic Church, at
least as far as I'm concerned. And for many. Pope Francis is the poster
boy for the "disinformation" campaign that is today so strongly in
control of the mainstream Church as he works like a devil to undo, redo,
and eviscerate Traditional Church teaching, and all done through his by
now obvious and characteristic M.O. of slight of hand, innuendo, and
insinuation. (And that is "Modernism" as it was from its Lutheran
beginnings in Germany: it used "scholarship" as a cover to take any
meaning out of the Bible, and then Church history; we have a situation
that has Modernism's fingerprints all over it.)
Sure,
in part, all this mess is because the "Gay Mafia" is so entrenched in
the Church, and its members' ceaseless quest to keep from being exposed.
They're like demons in possession of someone, hiding "in plain sight"
from the exorcist and trying not to be cast out. But as Fr. Ripperger
says, anytime you misuse a thing, you open it up to diabolical interest,
infestation, or possession. "Being Gay is not OK", in a spiritual
sense (not to mention in every other sense), in other words. Neither is adultery, fornication, or a host of
other sins. So far, the Gay Mafia has succeeded but now, these
revelations from Pennsylvania are so out-and-out obscene, and coming
after all the official bishops-based efforts to "clean up" the Church, that they can
no longer maintain the illusion that "all is well" or is something "getting
better" or that the bishops are in control. That last one is laughable.
The bishops are in control of nothing now, not even "spin".
But in larger part, all this mess is because of the total Modernist confusion Vatican II introduced. What does the Vat2 Church really believe? Can any of you tell me? No? Think you can? Try to. That's
Modernism. It's a type of "deconstruction" of both the institution and
the teachings of the Church. I can't tell you, after six decades of
being in the American Catholic Church, what it believes, or even what it
is, exactly. The Body of Christ? As Saint Paul said, can Christ
be united to adulterers and murders through us? (1 Corinthians 6:15
& following) "God Forbid!" Paul 6's Humanae Vitae for
example, which merely reiterated traditional teaching, 2,000 years of
Revelation, was rejected by probably a majority of theologians. Did
those theologians know what they believed? I think not.
It's
time to stop this. The bishops obviously can't. If they swore an oath
to the Devil himself to destroy the Church, what more could they have
done? They stripped it of it beauty, its mystery, its timelessness, its holiness, its morality, and
even its mission (JP2 kissed the Koran, for example; how confusing is
that? Just one example.) One thing we can do: don't give the "AmChurch"
any money, not unless it is a religious order or house or individual
priest/monk/nun you know and can personally vouch for. But remember that
the "AmChurch" gets tens (if not more) of millions from the Federal
government to help take care of "refugees", and that's why they're so
over-the-top demanding about illegals being let in. As long as they get
that, they're laughing at us, the laity.
