Did Trump Betray Us re: Abortion? Women certainly betray themselves...

Amici,

Did Trump Betray Us re: Abortion? As abortion is such a horrific evil, the short answer is Morally, yes. But then the longer answer is politically not quite – or not immediately – when you cold-heartedly consider that "politics is the art of the possible."

Unfortunately, Trump keeps digging his own political grave. He took just the bait and answered an abortion question that will kill him with Pro-Lifers: he said he would not sign a federal abortion ban if it reaches his desk. See Lifesitenews for details. This is an "unforced error" since any federal abortion ban is impossible politically in the foreseeable future. What a fool Trump is. No conservative American politician speaks "unscripted" about abortion. Ever. Such called-out questions are traps.

Abortion should be banned outright, of course, but politically in the United States, that can't be done – not without another Civil War at least – that's the Democrats for you: they build up an evil like slavery or abortion till the only way to fight it is to fight it, literally. But then, that's what they want you to say so their "Deep State" can arrest you for threatening violence.

Consider: the U.S.A. has two parties, although they're basically a UniParty, and more or less alike in a great many ways, and nowadays under the control of U.S. Intelligence Bureaucracies. Regarding abortion, though, one wing of this UniParty is willing to restrict abortion a lot more than the other wing – more or less; recently a lot less. The other wing, the Democrats, unabashedly now want abortion up to birth, and even after. Thus, as a pro-Lifer, I have to vote for the side that is more willing to restrict it; I cannot (and have never) voted for the other side.

• HOWEVER, I am no fool, either. Abortion politically is like slavery. As John Daniel Davidson so eloquently points out here. The American nation cannot exist half abortion and half pro-Life. It will become all one or all the other, just as with slavery. We see that happening in "red state" Ohio and Kansas. Davidson's essay is a fascinating and insightful article well worth the time to read.

The 2024 Election

Well, in terms of "normal" American politics, former President Donald Trump looks to be winning the 2024 presidential campaign, except for the fact that the Democrats will stop at nothing, and I mean nothing, to keep him from swearing in January 20, 2025. Remember: the American election system is completely unstable. Election theft and fraud remain endemic to it. Since Jack Kennedy stole the election in 1960 from the feckless Richard Nixon, we've actually had a number of true coup d'états: Kennedy by the gun (two Kennedys, actually, if you remember RFK), Nixon by lawfare (remember "Watergate"?), Reagan – almost by the gun a few months after his inauguration, and by lawfare rendering him impotent in his second term (remember "Iran-Contra"?) – and so on and so forth, till Trump's first term, where The Powers That Be tried to render him impotent via lawfare (remember "Russian Collusion"?, and then they finally brazenly stole the 2020 election. (And have you never noticed how no one tried to assassinate Carter, Clinton, or Obama? Gee, how curious. The Republicans tried to impeach Clinton over a carnal escapade, but the Democrats impeached Trump what, three times – once for a phone call?) So, with a record like that, and with all the unbridled lawfare against Trump, we can expect disaster this November.

And now maybe Trump himself has shot himself in the foot over abortion. Now multiple times, as noted above. Pro-lifers across the nation groan in true heartache. In the process, though, did Trump really betray all the pro-Lifers who have supported him through all the devilish hell he's been subjected to? Or is he the Machiavellian politician – as was Stephen Douglas, Lincoln's opponent – just trying to win? See Lifesitenews for details of Trump's new abortion position (if you're not already sick of this). Trump has a stubborn streak. Note that he's never admitted the rush to Covid vaccines was a disaster. Despite the growing evidence, he won't budge on that. But now he won't budge on his pro-abortion positions that he is staking out.

First thing to consider and weigh in the scales is that the Democrats, i.e. the party who booed God at their convention years ago, the Left, the Communists and godless hoards galore who have completed their "long march" (the term is Mao's) through our institutions and academies, have won the propaganda war – largely but not entirely – on abortion. 

1. Tens of millions of women seem to regard killing a child as absolutely untouchable. And I mean, they are adamant about baby killing as were the terrible Erinyes, the Furies of Ancient Greece.
   
2. Any politician who wants to ban abortion will be defeated, and most politicians on the Right who even bring limiting it up get lambasted by the mainstream media (a.k.a., the Democrats' lap dogs). Therefore, Republicans are backing off of abortion, as John Zmirak astutely explains in this column. So it is that Trump probably thinks, "Why should I stick my neck out?"
   
3. Yet abortion as a universal carte blanc right, as in France? We've come a very long way from Bill Clinton's infamous call in 1992 for making abortion "safe, legal, and rare", that's for sure. No Democrat today could repeat Clinton's line without being ripped to threads by the pagan furies that seem to possess Leftist women, and many not so leftist women.
   
4. The Left has spent, and will spend, immeasurable oceans of money to promote "Women's Reproductive Rights", and pump money into red states like Ohio and Kansas to garner state constitutional changes mandating unlimited abortion (and also bring on "gay rights" and "sex change" and so on). It is as though the Supreme Court ruling opened Pandora's bag (yep, Panni had a bag, not a box.)  
5. It's obvious that abortion has become the spear point the godless use to pierce the hearts of millions, especially women, regarding the sanctity of life, turning living hearts into stone. "Who among you would give your children a stone if they asked for bread?" Well, today, they stone 'em to death, just kill them, or mutilate their young bodies. 
6. Just as with slavery by 1860, abortion has gone beyond any sort of civil discourse now. Beyond civil discourse, or even rational discourse. It's taken on quasi-religious tones; indeed, it is the worship of Moloch, Ba'al, and Satan in the technological age.
   

Trump the Fool

Against this seeming juggernaut from Hell, Trump plays by its rules. All Trump had to do in terms of callow political expedience was stop soon after he started on his abortion statement. Yes, were he not going to remain 100 percent pro-life, he should have begun as he started out: i.e., abortion is now, thanks to the Supreme Court, a states-right issue. He did start with this. Then he should have stopped and said: "I'm not running for governor of a state, but as president of the nation, and as a nation we have absolute Armageddon hanging over us economically, Armageddon in a fight against Communism within our own Federal government, and obviously Armageddon with our insane foreign wars! We need to focus on those national issues first and foremost."

All of that is desperately true. How hard would that have been?

• That should have been that. But no. Trump brought up Democrat talking points, like the infamous "rape, incest, or health of the mother" smoke and mirror. It's a fraud. Had he had to open his mouth on that, he could have said regarding "rape, incest, health of the mother", that that's for the states to work out in their legislatures. But no, he had to endorse those "exceptions".
  
• That's a grotesque cop out, as well. Donald John Trump should meet and have a long, long talk with Rebecca Kiessling, a woman, a lawyer, a pro-life fighter, who was conceived via a rape. Watch her profound eight-minute presentation here. Donald Trump, you should be ashamed. Political expedience or no.
  
• In terms of IVF, Trump has actually endorsed it! IVF is the artificial fertilization system that creates dozens of fertilized eggs/zygotes in order to produce ONE child, Trump should have been honest and declare, "I don't know much about this and I'll have to research it for myself, in terms of science and religion. When I know what I'm talking about, I'll form an opinion." 

Simple. Again, simple re: political expedience. Morally lame in the extreme.

Abortion is absolute evil, and we are nowhere near getting it banned

Now, obviously, my Machiavellian-inspired suggestions above would be a "cop out". A political dodge. It's what Stephen Douglas tried 150 years ago. Machiavellian maneuvering to get elected. Morally, abortion remains an absolute evil. One stands either appalled by abortion, sickened, horrified, and want it to end, or one can say he's uncaring about it, or one is a worshiper of Moloch (like so many Leftists in the world and Democrats in America) to the loss of one's soul. Those are the three options. No others exist.

Many pro-Lifers say we have to elect Trump, or the country is lost. I tend to do that myself because it is true, but then, what kind of country would we be saving? An abortion horror? A narcissistic nirvana of stunted "juveniles for life"? Sodom and Gomorrah 2.0?

• Abortion is the only crime where the absolutely innocent one gets the death sentence. Also, fully 97 percent of all abortions, it is said, occur BEFORE 15-weeks. Mainly are now done chemically; i.e. "the morning after pill". This little factoid is crucial to understand because it shows how pointless the Left's manipulation of Conservative politicians is: they don't do it to "keep abortion legal" at all, they fight this fight to manipulate women and win elections. The whole thing is one big fraud.
  

IVF

And finally, Trump highly touts the execrable IVF method with creates extra zygotes then kills them (after freezing them).

That, readers, is not merciful. It's the height of narcissism. Yes, it is. Think about it. I feel very sorry for couples (and yes, I mean a married man and woman!) who cannot have kids. Any healthy person would feel sorry. But what person possessing any sort of moral mind or with a moral soul at all wants to have ten or twelve kids just to "harvest' one of them? That's sick in the extreme. Purely diabolical. That's like killing babies to test drugs, etc. 'For the greater good, many must die." Bovine guano.

And Trump covered himself in it. Was he ever truly pro-life? He was a pro-abortion Democrat for most of his life. Did he have a real conversion? God knows, and God will pass the judgment. 

Clearly, everyone can see that Biden won't last even the summer, let alone to November, and that Kamala Harris is a complete idiot. (That's been proven again and again out of her own mouth. And her uncontrollable laughter is freakish. And unnerving.) The Democrats will replace them when expedient. But whoever they run for the presidency, he or she will be "more of the same" as Biden and Harris. Thus we find ourselves between Scylla and Charybdis. If Trump isn't elected, the country is finished. Yes, but again, what country would be saved, really?

Then there's the women who make abortion possible

Do not mistake me. Women are easily manipulated by men. Worthless, immoral men want cheap carnal "full-body contact with women" and for the past 100 years have worked on women's self image to get it. Abortion exists almost solely because guys want to carnally take advantage of gals, and pay no penalty. Read that sentence again. It's part of the over-all contraceptive culture that is hollowing out our civilization. That's why men scientists developed "the Pill" in the first place. Women test subjects DIED in testing it. But they sold it as a "freeing" of women, a "liberation" of women. But that was all a lie. It enslaves women to endless male predation.

Nowadays, abortion owes a lot of its unshakable, iron-clad position in America (and Europe, etc.) to the support of women. Unmarried women tend to be Leftist anyway, and then again, married "soccer moms" have tended to vote Democrat because that party cynically cries up the poor and downtrodden and supports abortion, as well. American Jews have traditionally voted Democrat for protection from what they saw as an aggressive Christian culture; women vote Democrat because they are taught to feel like a threatened minority, as well.

1. Franklin Delano Roosevelt owed his second to fourth elections largely to women who voted for "that handsome, feline man". 
2. And of course he flooded the country with bureaucrats to "look after" everyone. 
3. Women elected FDR the second time in 1936, when his policies had left the country in a worse state than when he came in. (Women, and the Republicans, who ran utter non-entities against him.)
4. Women elected Jack Kennedy (voted for him enough that he only had to steal the vote in Illinois), and women voted for Bill Clinton and Obama, the "Metrosexual".
   
5. And today, Democrats keep harping on the "Alpha-Male" Donald Trump and what a threat to women he is. (Anyone who knows Trump knows this is not true, except maybe per aborting them.)
   

Women and the State

Also, many women tend to vote for "the state", a paternal state that promises to look after them and their children; see this excellent Ann Barnhardt essay here. There's also this. 

Now, of course, the country has millions of sane women, conservative women, patriotic women. And a Catholic author, Kimgerly Begg, writes about them and why they tend to "give in" to peer pressure here: Survey: Most Young Women Hold Conservative Beliefs But Hide Them. I recommend this very thoughtful article; it is fascinating.

Conclusion

But this is our situation. Because worthless miserable Leftist godless men, ruthless ideologues and narcissistic hedonists, have been manipulating women ceaselessly for generations so that women tend to vote against their own self-interests. Again, it is much like Jews who reflexively vote for Democrats. Now, the flood of "tranny" men who insist on pushing women out of sports and gyms and toilets and even redefine the female sex entirely may finally drive home to women how wretched their conditioning has been. Maybe. Maybe not. The incredibly blatant antisemitism that's everywhere now might get Jews' attention, too. Maybe. Maybe not.

Truly, everything is such a mess that only a full return to God can save what's left of our civilization. But where is the Roman Catholic Church? Read that John Zmirak article linked to above for that. It ain't pretty. And our situation is dire.

Article: Pope Francis’ fight against the Latin Mass is ‘a fight against the Church’

Amici,

LifeSiteNews has a great essay up that a German priest, Fr. Heimerl, wrote, titled "Pope Francis’ fight against the Latin Mass is ‘a fight against the Church’" Read it here. It is extremely insightful, and I highly recommend it.

A huge THANK YOU for this article, LifeSite, and to Fr. Heimerl ! The Old Mass, the TLM, could in no way represent the "NuChurch" that the Modernists at Vatican II wanted to create, so it had to go. Of course it did. THAT'S why Bergoglio so hates the TLM. It stands in his way. And he will stop at nothing to achieve what he wants. Rumor has it he fully intends to officially, full-stop, BAN the Traditional Latin Mass. That'll put the fox among the chickens. His time to create his Synodal Church is short, and every day might be his last. The Argentine Luther had to wait till he could stuff Benedict into the back of a van, but he charges on full steam ahead now.

A Schism is coming. A Schism is coming because it already exists, and has existed de facto since Vatican II; it just took a while for us to "get our bearings". Like someone just waking up in a strange environment, or after an operation, it takes a moment to get one's bearings. It took even Archbishop Lefebvre a few years to fully realize what was happening and the extent of the betrayal. And it WAS a betrayal of the Catholic faithful. A betrayal by the cocky Modernists who knew most Catholics were so conditioned to "pray, pay, and obey" that they would soldier along with it, at least up to the point. (Everyone has a breaking point.) So, no wonder about Ottaviani and Bacci, powerful orthodox Cardinals Fr. Heimerl mentions who confronted Paul VI about all this, but ultimately didn't call for his excommunication. Raised as loyal sons of the old Church, they could not bring themselves to do the needful.

Now, today, however, we have NO EXCUSE. Sixty years of facing lavender firing squads taking potshots at us, we know all too well what's happening. No. More. No more bleating sheep-like, "Baa, baat the bishop says so-and-so!" No more Disney princess bishops at all or histrionic priests flamboyantly auditioning at the Cranmer table "altars". No more "Prayers of the People" that seem to channel Leftist party talking points or the trendy social causes du jour. No more tolerating the destruction of the Holy Catholic Church. Zero tolerance. Start it saying in your own minds. Then tell family and friends, then priests and bishops. Say a prayer for the strength to grasp it and to admit it.

Some bishops, even one, will have to openly declare Bergoglio in Schism. I doubt Burke or Müller would. Maybe they might over women deacons; Viganò would. And sure, Bergoglio would rage, and excommunicate left, right, and center, but it is clear to anyone with two cents of a brain that Bergoglio himself is the innovator, the challenger, the heretic.

And that even as it morphs into the "Synodal Church", the Vatican II Church has finally manifested itself as the infamous, but prophesied, "Ape of the Church".

Thanks again to LifeSiteNews amd Fr. Joachim Heimerl.

Bergoglio Is an Unconscionable, Diabolical Liar

Amici,

Such is my takeaway after listening to Fr. Charles Murr discuss Bergoglio with John-Henry Westen and Liz Yore here at LifeSiteNews. 

The first half of this episode is Fr. Murr detailing (and I mean detailing) how Bergoglio, as a young Jesuit and then a bishop and archbishop, would come to Rome and "pump" Vatican insiders for inside information. Bergoglio also represented himself as a strong conservative and very much the anti-Communist, so much so that he fooled a good friend and mentor of Fr. Murr's, a friend who had been raised in Northern Italy, knew all about Communists, and was a die-hard enemy of Marxists. So Bergoglio fooled everyone, and it was one of the ways The Ogre got himself eventually elected pope. (Along with all the other behind-the-scenes nefarious goings on the Freemasons were plotting, naturally.)

And of course this proves Archbishop Viganò's idea that Bergoglio isn't a valid pope because he accepted the papacy illegally in that the Argentinian devil had NO INTENTION of serving as a pope is supposed to. He lied there, too, in other words. Yes, yes, yes, it may be that Benedict didn't abdicate the papacy correctly, and other aspects factor in, but clearly Bergoglio has never had ANY intention of serving the office as a successor of Peter is supposed to. Out with the vermin!

WHY do we commit suicide? Why does Europe flood itself with Muslims who have no intention of ever becoming "European"? Why do we tolerate that evil child molester Joe Biden flooding the U.S.A. with enemies while he drains the economy and the military and impoverishes the country by sending its wealth to a dictatorship in Ukraine? (Well, there the U.S. politicians are laundering money and "farming" child sex slaves.)

And most of all, WHY do we Catholic tolerate – even obey (Bishop Strickland, among so many others, I'm looking at you!) – a putrid hypocrite con-artist like Bergoglio, so obviously the son of his father, the Father of Lies, in fact? WHY? Has Catholicism become a suicide cult?

To every and any Catholic or "popesplainer" who says, "But he's pope! The world's bishops say he is!" I shout back: "Fool! If someone tells you to shoot yourself between the eyes, do you do it? No matter who he is?"

Listen to Fr. Murr tell what he knows about the younger Francis and how he slimed his way into power in the Church, and then try to tell me Jorge Mario Bergoglio isn't a true son of the Fallen Lightbringer himself.

Not dealing with this travesty is wrecking the Church, from top to bottom, as we see now with this blasphemous "funeral" of a deviant and promoter of deviancy from St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. Of course they claim they didn't know. Right. In the Empire of Lies, even the Truth looks guilty.

Bergoglio, Fernández, Apes of the Ape Church and Kinsey's Imp

Amici,

Alright. This latest revelation about "Tucho" "Kissy" Fernández serves as a klaxon call to get rid of the Apes of the Ape Church.

We can throw up our hands at the general apostasy, or we can see this as an unique opportunity. 

First of all, words can barely express the contempt I have for this Simian Dystopic Duo of Begoglio and "Kissy", a spiritual orangutan and his pet baboon. Yesterday's revelation is that "Tucho" – Bergoglio's chief doctrinal sheriff and Flying Monkey in Chief – wrote a scurrilous and blasphemous book involving certain aspects of human carnal activity, some of the "research" derived from a 16-year-old girl. Fernández has now admitted he wrote the book but would not write it now. Oh, really? No celibate loyal to his vows could know this stuff, and no remotely true-believing clergyman would dare even think of writing such filth. (The news about the 16-year-old girl by itself should get him fired.)

N.B. This is Alfred Kinsey-level depravity. Kinsey was one of the original "sexologists" back in the 1950s, but Kinsey himself was a sexual deviant and his "research" was utterly flawed, taking place mainly among prisoners and the carnally disturbed. Kinsey, and his "work" was utter trash, but it influenced the "Sexual Revolution" that swept through the 1960s and '70s, the decades that formed both Bergoglio and then later, Fernández. All this makes Fernández Kinsey's imp. (Both imp and baboon! "Kissy" is a real winner.)

Dopamine and Physical Reality

Fernández's idea postulated that this carnal activity allows heightened spiritual awareness, such as the Mystics wrote about, and therefore was good. Even sacred or holy. Truth is, certain carnal behavior releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that sends messages to nerve cells, and it often causes pleasurable feelings. It is essential on various levels, and helps physiologically in certain human traits (ability to plan, to strive, to find things interesting). Dopamine is like a drug causing pleasure, like magic mushrooms or LSD or I dunno, whatever. And addictive aspect exists with it, as it does with adrenaline (also involved here). It in no way causes true spiritual experiences, any more than mushrooms or marijuana could. Biologists say it makes carnal activity pleasurable so that we are more likely to reproduce ourselves.

• So, something as prosaically natural as the urge for animals to reproduce is used by Fernández and who knows how many others to "make up" or constitute a religious experience, but only involves an actually naturally occurring chemical reaction. Fernández's basic idea, then, is utter bunk. 
• And it is blasphemous, arguing that God can be found in natural chemical reactions in the body, especially ones involving sin. I've seen one blogger, "Alphonsus", make the comment at a LifesiteNews article that this insults the Blessed Virgin Mary, who certainly didn't need or experience any of this to have the closest relationship with God of anyone in all created existence. Spot on.
  
• And it struck me that not only was he right, but also how so very Muslim this nonsense is. Islam teaches that the afterlife, the Garden of Allah, consists of nothing but men romping through harems of virgins every day, and that is "Heaven". And indeed, Islam teaches that Muhammad resides there in Allah's Garden with innumerable females, AND that he daily rapes the Blessed Virgin Mary. (I am not making that up.)
  

How are Fernández's sick fancies any more demented than that? In fact, they are kin.

Truth is: the Vatican II changes via "The Spirit of Vatican II" were all based on lack of faith in God, that Faith derived from the Faith of our fathers, and then propped on two stilts: Sex craziness and the Modernist "making up God", "evolving God ourselves to suit our carnal lusts". That's it. All the rest was window-dressing.

Now what? A Machiavellian observation

One would think that this is so horrifying, so simply standout putrid, that bishops the world over would demand, DEMAND, Fernández be fired, forced to resign. Again, I think the revelation that a 16-year-old girl was involved would force this outcome. Anthony Stine of Return to Tradition is certain that that will not happen: that Fernández will be there until Bergoglio finds out whether God really exists. Probably true, but I am not so sure. That 16-year-old girl news is horrific. It depends on what the bishops do. Don't laugh. As we have seen with Fiducia supplicans, a strong reaction (for the Vatican II Church) has developed against that document. This reaction is worldwide, but strongest in Africa. The Fernández revelation is like the second of a one-two punch, however; how outraged will the bishops outraged of Fiducia be now? Double? Treble? This could be, in short, a cascade event (i.e. "an inevitable, often unforeseen chain of events potentially resulting in a dangerous system failure").

From a purely Machiavellian point of view, I suspect this could easily happen. Really, Bergoglio's stupid gambit of bringing in Fernández to begin with – and BTW, it was one of Bergoglio's first acts as pope to see that Fernández was made a bishop back in Argentina – was a mistake. Sure, "Tucho" will do his master's bidding, no matter what, but Fernández comes with a LOT of baggage. How many more skeletons besides that adolescent girl are stuffed into Tucho's closet? This new one by itself is so over-the-top!

Any hue and cry that Fernández be removed will take up time, attention, and eat up whatever goodwill remains regarding "Pope Francis" among all the "pope-splaners". It will also incite Bergoglio's infamous volcanic temper. How might he react? Fernández's revelation reveals Bergoglio, making him out sharp and clear as an Ogre, a true Beast, a Dragon in God's vineyard. How can Bergoglio push his evil agenda with all this attention on him, and all the ill-will on the part of increasing numbers of Catholics?

Conversely, if Fernández stays, as seems more likely – maybe – he'll be the proverbial albatross around Bergoglio's neck. More like a millstone. In this context, too, only more so, for as above: Fernández will take up time and attention, eating up whatever goodwill remains regarding the tarnished "Pope Francis" among all the "pope-splaners". Fernández's revelation reveals Bergoglio in sharp detail, making him out cold and clear as a hideous Ogre, a true Monster, a scaly Dragon in God's vineyard. How can Bergoglio push his evil agenda amidst all this attention and all the ill-will on the part of increasing numbers of Catholics?

Either way this goes, in other words, Bergoglio loses power, prestige (I can't believe he has any), and tolerance for his papacy. 

For Us Catholics

That's Machiavelli. For those of us who try to be practicing Catholics, Bergoglio and his peeps are painting us into a corner. We have no choice now but to deny this guy's validity as a pope. NO POPE would treat God's Church to all this Hell. NO POPE would monkey around with the Faith as these monkeys have done. And that, in itself, is quite liberating. With every increase in monkey poo they throw at us, we can cast aside the endless cognitive dissonance the Vatican II Church and the "Bergoglio-is-a-true-pope" types try to impose on us. By their own acts, they reveal themselves. By their fruit ye shall know them. Thank God for that.

God rules. Jesus Christ established the Church for our salvation. We can – and I'm sure my readers do – pray for God to cast out these rebels and to restore His Bride, the Church, to her pristine purity. As He told Elijah, "I have kept 7,000 who have not bent the knee to Ba'al.' (1 Kings 19:18)

Amen to that.

The Synodal Church, cognitive dissonance, and the video "What on Earth Is Going on at the Vatican"

Amici,

Michael Matt has for years been a major player in the Trad Catholic scene in America, and so has his family. But at the moment, like so many others, he insists Bergoglio is actually pope. See an interview here at LifeSiteNews for details. One commentator to that article wrote that Matt is making a lot of sense. 

Matt is not making sense. Honestly, this whole "Bergoglio is pope" meme has to stop. Why? Insisting Bergoglio is pope will force anyone maintaining that position into severe cognitive dissonance. Insisting that ANYTHING is X, when it is clearly Y, will make you "cross-eyed" as it were; i.e. induce in you cognitive dissonance. Allow that cognitive dissonance to continue, not clearing it up immediately, will leave you psychologically prone, knocked flat. Leave it too long, allow it to fester in you, and you'll lose your faith. 

And THAT is the plan, my friends, of Bergoglio or whoever is managing him. Drive regular, "orthodox" Catholics out from their faith, and ultimately simply render them deeply ill in the soul. Let me prove this very easily. 

Did you-all see the circus like freakshow video of the capering and antics of performers around Bergoglio? All the exotic dancers and contortionists? Here it is, on Rumble. I assume they were "celebrating" the opening of the synod – yet with Tio Jorge, any reason would do – and it looked for all the world, well, Hellish. Just simply Hellish. Watch. Decide for yourself. Bergoglio enthroned in the City of Dis, rather distantly flanked by two high-level churchmen, impassive as a Mardi Gras-like carnival swirls around him. 

• Merely seeing that would make me ill were I somehow thinking Bergoglio in some way actually served as a valid pope. 
• I do not, not for an instant, and so I dismissed what I saw as idiocy. Fluff. Nonsense. 
• But the producers of this twaddle did not intend this show for people like me. 

Oh, no. It was intended for those who insist Bergoglio is pope. For such folks, it will cause great pain and torment. For them, it's an insidious manipulation. Grotesque. A mockery of everything they ever believed about the Church. A stake through their hearts. And please believe me when I say it is making Catholicism a laughing stock among Protestants, Jews, and Muslims. I'm seeing endless comments from them via the conservative political blogs regarding the descent of the Church into, well, Sodom. I've never read such a aggregate of vehemence against the Catholic Church before on these sites. And the sites and their commentators are "conservatives", and generally religious and valuing the importance of religion. 

Just crazy.

Just brutal.

And very effective.

Do not fall into their trap. 

Do not allow yourself to be devastated.

What Bergoglio wants to kill: "The liturgy is a glimpse ... of God at prayer."

Amici,

Bergoglio and his merry band of Teddy McCarrick's slimey "sons" (some of the worst are now cardinals) are ratcheting up their antics, as reported by LifeSiteNews, and others. As John Henry Weston says, they certainly seem intent on creating a false Church on myriad levels. See John Henry here for details, with Liz Yore. 

I think it is time to pause and consider just what Bergoglio's antics are clearly intended to destroy. What is he out to kill? Today, I'll focus on the liturgy.

"The liturgy of the Mass is more than the proclamation of the teaching Christ. It is a great "Ecce homo": it exhibits and points to the silent Christ. It is infinitely more than the prayer of the faithful. It gives us a glimpse of something absolutely unthinkable: God at prayer."

So writes Martin Mosebach in his The Heresy of Formlessness; the Roman Liturgy and It's Enemy, page 74, in the chapter 'Liturgy is Art'.

I'm pretty sure none of you have thought of the Traditional Latin Mass as "God at prayer", yet it is a genius insight. Mosebach, throughout this collection of essays, explains how one doesn't "understand" the Mass, how one is not supposed to. The whole central point of the Novus Ordo Mass, i.e. something that could be understood by everyone, is utterly non-Catholic, and non-worshiping.

Our Lord Christ Himeslf set the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as our earthly experience of the Incarnate God, made Present to us on the Altar of Sacrifice. I would dare to tender the hope that most Christians understand Heaven to be the Beatific Vision, one's eternal contemplation of God in His Presence. The Mass is our foretaste of that, our first step into Eternity. So of course it cannot be flat, mediocre, prosaic, humdrum, banal – by definition it cannot be a liturgy designed to be "understood" anymore than one can "understand" God.

The Mass of the Ages does something more than teach: it allows one to contemplate God's Incarnate Presence under the form of bread and wine, understanding as an act of faith the miracle of the Mass, personally experiencing within it the Real Presence of God consecrated at the altar of sacrifice, Himself, Christ, offered perpetually in sacrifice unto God, the eternal sacrifice we read of in Revelation, the slain Lamb coming forward. (Rev 5:6ff; Revelation describes the Heavenly Liturgy, and so of course most modern people have no clue about its mysteries. Martin Luther wanted to excise it entirely from the New Testament.)

We'll be eternally contemplating the Incarnation and the Sacrifice the Incarnation consummated on earth 2,000 years ago, always filled with more comprehension in ever more Beatific Vision – and our own roles in that Incarnation – for by His Incarnation into the human race, God enabled the human race to be incarnated into God. Theosis, the Greeks call it. Scott Hahn somewhere described it as the "nuclear pile" of the Faith. This eternal Mystery will never be completely within our understanding.

And as one just does not "understand" this most Divine Mystery, one doesn't "understand" the Divine Mysteries in general. The one book in the New Testament (or the Old) that carries the title "Revelation", the Apocalypse, is the single most mysterious of all the holy library, after all, is it not? And mystery stands at the heart of all learning, and certainly all love. A young couple in love want to find out all there is to know and experience about each other, but if that wish ever seems to encompass them, should no mystery of one another remain, what happens to them? And a work of art, painting, sculpture, or literature piece we completely "understand" becomes a work of art we're not likely to keep thinking about, pondering, or want to see again. "Familiarity breeds contempt." In fact, it is an axiom that art is different from pornography in that pornography "leaves nothing to the imagination". And the same is true of propaganda. Nothing is more boring than either porn or propaganda (unless you become addicted to them, as many are addicted to Covid-19 "fear porn").

Mosebach returns to pondering art as that which intrigues us, moves us in ways we don't fully grasp. Great art has a soul, he says, and the Mass is the greatest art, begun when the Divine Master, after the Passover meal had been eaten, picked up a piece of bread and said, "Take this, this  is my body which will be given for you."

"When he utters the words 'This is my body,' should he not take a piece of the Paschal Lamb from the table (considering his impending sacrificial death as the Lamb of God), rather than a piece of bread? No, because the bread that has become the body of Christ fits in perfectly with what Jesus says, by way of preparation for Holy Thursday, about the grain of wheat; it also recalls the prayer in the Our Father concerning our daily bread and the warning that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from God. Here, then, we have the bread that, at the same time, 'was the Word of God.' ... Is there not, however something of the Greek artists' ability to transform and elevate nature in the way Jesus chooses to elevate a piece of bread to the level of the real sacrificial flesh of the God-man? At the same time, of course, there is a crucial different between him and the Greek artist: the artist created his work 'after nature,' through contemplation and study, whereas Christ created the unbloody Sacrifice of the Mass in anticipation of his very real execution, with all its attendant horrors. We could say that with his intuition and foreknowledge – for the meal of Holy Thursday is permeated with premonitions – he was painting a picture of his death, giving an artistic form to the pains of his execution, a form that perfectly and unmistakably manifested its profoundest core, that is, the love sacrifice that nourishes and redeems. (Page 71)

(See why I say you should read Mosebach?)

In all the squabbles over the Roman Catholic Church's liturgy since Vatican II, I think Moseback gets to the heart of the matter best, and with the fewest yet best-chosen words. A successful novelist, Mosebach's writing is superb.

But then, who will listen? The Second Vatican Council, in fact, called for some liturgical changes to be made only after great deliberation, and actually mandated Latin to be largely retained, along with Gregorian Chant being encouraged. Has the mainstream Church obeyed those strictures? Almost none of the things one pictures in one's mind about the Novus Ordo pastiche was actually requested at the Second Vatican Council. The Council "Fathers" did not vote for the total destruction-remake of the Mass that the Concilium committee on the Liturgy wrought. They did not vote for a Mass in the vernacular, especially a vernacular than everyone, from children to theologians to blue-collar working men to matronly ladies, all "understood" to the point of boredom. I always wondered why, what with the rich history of English, its means of expression, massive vocabulary – not to mention the literary variety between national English languages – the Church reduced whole of the Anglophone world to one single English vernacular, and a pathetic, flat, mumbling one at that. The reason was they did so by design. Their goal surely had been to turn off, alienate, cold-shoulder as great a number as possible.

Now, while it might be charitable to not try to think Bugnini and his crew were actually working against the Catholic Church by attacking and crashing the most Catholic thing in existence, the Mass, to view them as misguided idealists with "good intentions", it is much easier and I believe much closer to the truth to see all the disastrous changes after the actual Council to be the results of an anti-Catholic "war of position", a "long march" through Catholic institutions to bring them down.

If there is truth in such an assertion, it is easy to see how it started in the later 19th century via the Modernists, those clergy and theologians who rejected as passé the Church's traditional teaching. But then later, by the mid-20th century, Communists got involved, as Bella Dodd famously revealed after her conversion to the Church. Bergoglio and his henchmen are the last, desperate stand of an old guard, literally old men who either are wholly on board with anti-Christian Communism and Modernism, or are aged dupes who have never understood their "fellow-traveler" status.

And certainly their desperate endeavors to kill off the Traditional Latin Mass seems insane. Bergoglio has publicly stated he thinks Latin Mass devotees are either all old people themselves (the opposite is true) or they're mentally ill. (Yes, he's said that.) The one part of the Church that's actually Catholic, they want to drive out of the Church. That CANNOT be an accident. How could Bergoglio and his McCarrick deviants possibly go all Herman Melville on the young faith-filled families of the TLM? To go, as Melville had it, "...to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee." The Mass of the Ages is Bergoglio's Moby Dick.

It is just bizarre. And it is crazed obsession like that which is truly not understandable.

Read Martin Mosebach. You'll apprehend a great deal more about the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass than by reading even the best intentioned theologians.

Notes:

This Novus Ordo new order Mass was created by the Concilium, a bureaucratic body inaugurated to implement ideas in the Vatican II document on the Mass called Sacrosanctum Concilium. The Concilium worked from the Council's end to the 1970 unveiling of the Novus Ordo Mass. But in truth, the huge committee that the Concilium consisted of was merely window dressing. Hannibal ("Grace of Ba'al") Bugnini, the Concilium's secretary, and his closest associates, did almost all the new liturgy's creation, and they got Pope Paul VI approve most of what they recommended. (Bugnini would tell Paul VI that the Concilium wanted X, and when the pope said, "Surely they can't want that!" Bugnini would say, "Oh, yes, they all agree." Then he would tell the larger Concilium that the pope wanted X, and when they said "He can't possibly want that!" Bugnini would say, "Oh, he's adamant on it!" See Psalm 101:7 for judgement on liars. ) Thus, via such deceits, "The Bug" created a new liturgy altogether. It is only connected to the old Mass, the Traditional Latin Mass, the Mass of the Ages (best title for it) by their own fevered fiats – by their saying it was connected. In reality, it was a new rite entirely.

Psalm 146 of the Douay-Rheims: verse 9:

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

We have no possible dialogue with a Church like this...

Amici,

In some uplifting Catholic news (for once, so, may I not die of the shock – well, it was too good to last: see below), actor Shia LaBeouf has converted to the Catholic Faith, but more than that, LaBeouf has praised the Traditional Latin Mass! Great stuff! And he's insightful about it. See "Shia LaBeouf stuns Bishop Barron with love of Latin Mass: ‘They’re not selling me a car’". Naturally, Satan, the ensconced ruler of this world (we don't have to put up with him, but we do) will now attack LaBeouf, as Mel Gibson was attacked spiritually after The Passion of the Christ. Expect it. Pray for the guy.

At the bottom of the LifeSite article linked to above, please note, LifeSiteNews contributor Kennedy Hall presents a short embedded video wherein he ponders the scene: LaBeouf, the actor, and Bishop Robert Barron, the mainstream Novus Ordo impresario and multimedia producer, discuss the attraction to the Latin Mass on Barron's show, wherein LaBeouf clearly "gets it" whereas Barron remains clueless. Barron isn't trying to play it coy or dissemble, either. He just doesn't get it. Honestly, my friends, this short video is a must-see, and Hall's comments are excellent.

Meanwhile, German novelist and author extraordinaire (außerordentlich?) Martin Mosebach, has an interview Rorate Caeli carries, and translates to English: https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2022/08/a-traditionalist-should-long-for-schism.html. Mosebach is absolutely the best, and I mean absolutely the best, writer on the Traditional Latin Mass and why it is so important and essential for Catholics in particular and Christians in general, and just how depraved the Modernist Bergoglian Church is. I have his book: The Heresy of Formlessness. Worth its weight in gold.

An excerpt from the Rorate interview (highlight mine):

We must accept the sad fact that a great part of the believers who have remained in the Church have been in the meantime reeducated. Goethe calls attention to the anthropological fact that reverence is not a natural characteristic of man, but that he must acquire it. In the formlessness of modern society, the old liturgy is really a foreign body. She attracts those who have an internal readiness for resistance. These will always only be a small elite, not in the sense of academic titles or economic power but of spiritual force and independence of mind. It is to be found at all levels of the society.

The catastrophe in the faith has created a paradox. The old liturgy lives from reverence for hierarchy and order, but her defenders have an anarchistic temperament. They distrust every institution and authority that is not willing to subject itself to the Tradition and that means most representatives of Church and state. The ruling pontifex, whose stated goal is, after fifty years of post-conciliar developments, to wipe out those remnants of the Tradition of the Church that are still present, has correctly recognized that his work will remain incomplete as long as the old rite is successfully transmitted to future generations. The old liturgy contains everything that a Catholic needs to be Catholic. It is even capable of replacing for a while a pope who doesn't understand his mission. The current pope understands this very clearly and this thought is unendurable to him.

AnP again:

Now, everyone, consider this Mosebach extract; doesn't this apply perfectly to the American Catholic Church (just watch Bishop Barron's reaction to Shia LaBeouf's praise of the TLM):

Like many, I am convinced that the official German Church is right at the point of total collapse. It is as hollow as a nest of termites. The stupidity and tastelessness of its representatives are not even attractive for modernist liberals, at least insofar as they are intelligent. A small remnant will remain, and orthodox Traditional Catholics will gain influence among these. What is critical in my view is that the official Church with its myriad lay employees finally disappears.

A Traditionalist shouldn't be afraid of the schism of the German Church. Rather, he should long for it, especially since it's in no way a schism but the public apostasy of the official Church. There's no basis anymore for the acclaimed “dialogue.”  Also, whether Tradition one day could be victorious doesn’t concern me anymore.  It must be sufficient to us that Tradition most closely approximates the religion founded by Christ.

AnP aríst:

Doesn't that apply to the Irish Church? The American? And so on? We should long for schism with the Mainstream Church because it would get us out from Begoglio's neo-Modernist/full Fascist boot, and it would not, truly, be a schism, since the Mainstream Church itself is in apostasy, and under a pope yearning, aching, drooling and twitching to bury the TLM because the "old liturgy contains everything that a Catholic needs to be Catholic", because the mainstream Church itself "is even incapable of replacing for a while a pope who doesn't understand his mission." There's no basis for dialogue with such a thing as that, Mosebach says. Indeed, there isn't.

We've reached, at long last, the point of no return in the Church. Little reason exists for "dialogue", as Bergoglio's recent efforts to just shut down the TLM plainly demonstrate. Another angle on this: it has come to my attention via Fr. James Altman that the priestly faculties of that abomination, the putrid Rembert Weakland, were never suspended or removed, whereas such has been done to hundreds of faithful, orthodox priests, like Altman himself. In fact, Weakland was to be given a full funeral from the Cathedral he ruined. (He hated the old liturgy so badly that he had the sanctuary torn out and a ridiculously titanic pipe organ installed so that it filled the space!)

In a Church where that is true, we have no possible "dialogue".

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.

War with Russia is (apparently) imminent. "The most reckless foreign policy in our history..."

My friends.

A week ago last Monday, Tucker Carlson, now the most popular cable news host in the U.S., presented a very disturbing commentary about the imminent war – quite possibly a nuclear war – between the U.S. and Russia. 

I've been reading scores of articles, posts, interviews, about the coming civilizational disaster. (Even Bergoglio is sounding the alarm! Imagine that!) But I'll choose this article from Tucker Carlson as one to send around to you. It appears on LifeSiteNews.

Carlson demonstrated that major figures in the U.S. government are hell-bent on war with Russia, and provided a number of clips of Democrat Congressional bigshots talking up such a war. Then Carlson explained the main reason for all this had nothing to do with Ukraine, but everything to do with Democrats seeking revenge for Donald Trump's 2016 election victory. For details, if you are interested, watch Carlson at the LifeSiteNews link, or read the article at the link. For a taste of it:

“This is the most reckless foreign policy in our lifetimes, in American history,” Carlson said. “You are watching a group of decadent, in some cases, senile leaders, casually dismiss the consequences of going to war with the nuclear-armed nation, dismiss the consequences of nuclear war, like it’s not even worth thinking about.  But it is worth thinking about!”

AnP again:

And it isn't just the Democrats. A large portion of Republicans seem as utterly mindless and stupid about this as the Democrats. They are consumed by "Neo-Con" and other imbecilic hubris. A senseless blindness seems to have turned them all into 'bots ('robots). 

As this is going on, we have Democrat mobs rioting outside Supreme Court justices' homes and pro-abortion (also known as Moloch worshipers) attacking Catholic (and a few other types of) Churches in an effort to punish and intimidate pro-life Catholics. In general, we have mobs of pro-abortionists (a.k.a. Baby-Killers "R" Us) shrieking much like the demons sometimes do when they are expelled from possessing a person (e.g.: Mark 1:26, 9:26) or a place, as witnesses reported happened at the Pantheon in Rome.

And have any of you asked why Western Europe is committing cultural and population suicide via insane immigration policy, as highlighted here regarding Sweden? It is much like the U.S. open borders with Mexico, actually, when simultaneously we're also blithely going to nuke millions of Caucasian Europeans (not to mention millions of Americans of every color)?

Doesn't this sound/seem utterly diabolic? On every level?

And doesn't this remind you of God blinding Pharaoh so that God could punish him? "I will harden Pharaoh's heart." (Ex. 4:21) And "He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them." (John 12:40, quoting from Isaiah.)

And of course it is a literal, living manifestation of the ancient saying, "Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad." (Wrongly attributed to Euripides.)

My friends, a wise man lives as though each day were his last, but it takes focus, and prayer, to bear such doom as we face. Pray. For if this isn't the maul of Armageddon we're walking into, I would hate to see what is.

Bergoglio flubs Fatima Russian Consecration. Of course he does...

Amici,

Bergoglio and Fatima: unfortunately, this isn't an April Fool's joke.

Bergoglio flubbed the Fatima Russia consecration. Of course he did. What else would ye expect?

From a Lifesitenews article here by Michael Haynes. "Why is a leading Vatican theologian rejecting Fatima links to Pope Francis’ consecration of Russia?"

Read the whole article for details of the Bergoglian disaster's non-Fatima Fatima consecration of Russia, Ukraine, and especially the world – oh, wait, it was a consecration of the whole world and especially Russia and Ukraine, or something like that – to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Except Fatima wasn't mentioned. The event was, in a word, your basic Modernist mess.

And in to add insult to injury, among all the languages the event was said in, Fr Hunwicke notes that Latin was not one of them. "Clearly, the once 'Good Pope John' has lost his cred in this Age of Bergoglianity ... PF respects his views on the Curia no more than he respects the detailed regulations he laid down in Veterum Sapientia for the reinforcement of Latin (the Vatican recently published texts for the Consecration of Russia and Ukraine in, I think, 32 languages ... which, by failing to include Latin, put it on a level with  Cornish)."

Back to the Lifesite Article by Michael Haynes. Excerpt:

Though the official English translation does not mention Our Lady of Fatima, or the errors of Russia that she warned of, the Pope and bishops who joined him prayed the consecration before a statue of Our Lady of Fatima and consecrated Russia and Ukraine to the “Immaculate Heart.” The intent on the day appeared clearly oriented to Fatima, being made before statues of Our Lady of Fatima.

Yet only hours before the consecration took place, Vatican News published an interview with Fr. Stefano Cecchin, OFM, the president of Rome’s Pontifical International Marian Academy, who made strong efforts to completely disassociate the consecration from Our Lady of Fatima’s request, and instead highlight the role of “synodality.”

AnP again: one just despairs. So Bergoglio has an anti-Marian as president of the Marian Academy. Makes perfect sense for the heretic. That's exactly what Modernism, the "mother of all heresies", does. It can't help itself. And we're damned if we pretend there's no problem, which many insist on trying to do. I came across the following comment at Fr. Z's blog:

Pope Francis is Pope because the Holy Ghost would not allow otherwise. We may not like it. He has not made any Excathedra statements and if he did they would not be heretical because once again the Holy Ghost would not allow it.

A "Cop-out"

This is both mental and spiritual laziness, what used to be a "cop-out", an excuse rationalization, even blasphemous because it alleges the Holy Ghost has appointed an ecclesiastical murderer. It's a "Don't believe your lying eyes" and we, today, have far, far too much for that. It's drowning us! Basic Reality: A pope, when he opens his mouth in any faith or religion sense, teaches doctrine pretty much with every comment. Why? He does so because he is Christ's Vicar. He's like a grand vizier of any ancient Israelite king. He holds the palace keys and Great Seal, as they did. He doesn't have to "make ex-Cathedra statements"! Those are for special notice and emphasis, usually to settle a long-debated issue. In short, a pope is like a prime minister of a monarch or an American president. When Joe Biden says something stupid off the cuff, he can actually change U.S. policy. He can actually start a war. That's the power a president has, a prime minister – and a pope.

Our Grim Ecclesiastical Reality

Bergoglio is clearly a heretic, murdering the Faith, and certainly the Church. Look at his whole pontificate.

1. Take the long view. Don't lose the Bergoglian forest for the (pretty much everyday) Bergoglian tree, wherein he puts his foot in his mouth with quotidian regularity.
2. In doctrine of every sort, and certainly moral issues (he's pathological about nutty sex stuff), he goes against Scripture and Tradition.
3. Bergoglio has a pathological hatred of the Traditional Liturgy, the Vetus Ordo.
   
4. The traditional Latin liturgies, as they naturally evolved over centuries, are the "form" of the Western Church, like the soul is the form of body. The Eastern Liturgies do the same for those Churches. In contrast, the Novus Ordo was made up by a committee, basically one man, Hannibal Bugnini. It's a sort of Frankenstein's Monster, made with pieces of this and pieces of that.
   
5. This lack of actual life in the Novus Ordo was manifest from the beginning, as the Church started shedding members from the N.O.'s inception. Today, churches are empty, seminaries are empty or gay encounter clubs, and the U.S. Church (for one example) survives on Federal money for "refugees", which is why the Church is so strident in advocating for illegal immigrants.
   
6. The only growth the Vatican II Church has actually EVER actually seen involves the TLM laity and, possibly, the Charismatic Catholics, although they're not as stable a set as the TLMers. But otherwise, people have been falling away from the Vat II Church since it launched.
   
7. Benedict's Summorum Pontificum recognized and blessed the reality that the TLM attracted people, solid folks who started having large families in the Church, and it obviously has transforming power.
   
8. Bergoglio hates that and has tried to kill it. He's has done everything possible to destroy the TLM movement! We're as insane as he is if we think God prefers such an ogre to be His vicar on Earth. Old Fr. Hunwicke, a wise man if ever there was one, has a must-read column here about Bergoglio and the Liturgy. 

An excerpt:

In concluding this four-part survey, I remind readers that we have met no examples of liturgically-preoccupied popes hunched over desks in Rome, micromanaging what every insignificant curate anywhere in the World can be allowed to do at the Altar. 

We have met no pope who believed that doctrinal unity could only be secured or expressed by rigid uniformity of worship.

But there is an even broader point to be made than the merely liturgical question: the 'papacy' which at this moment we are so painfully enduring is a Novelty; it is not found in Antiquity and no more is it found in the admirable teaching of Vatican I (or the subsequent clarifications by Blessed Pius IX) nor in the texts of Vatican II. In the sometimes-derided high baroque period of the Roman Primacy, the writings of that admirable pontiff, Prospero Lambertini, Benedict XIV, give no countenance to it. 

It is because this style of papacy is a Novelty that it needs to be unambiguously rejected. 

Catholicism with Novelty is not Catholicism with something exotic added. Once you embark upon nailing alien matter onto the Faith, what you get is not Catholicism-plus. Catholicism, with the authentic Papal Ministry subtracted from it, has ceased to be Catholicism at all.

AnP again:

Bergoglio, and all the Modernists, do precisely that: they add something exotic, like their putrid Pachamama mess; they're nailing alien matter onto the Faith. They keep trying to create a "Catholicism-Plus" because they can't imagine anyone who finds the Holy Ghost calling them from Catholicism-as-God-set-it-up. They themselves don't. Luther couldn't. Calvin didn't try, and Progressive Catholics are just bored of the whole thing and think idiotically, "Gee, if we just make the Church more like the Church of England, everything will be great!"

So, Bergoglio flubbed the Fatima Russia Consecration. And we hover on the edge of nuclear Armageddon, pushed into the Pit by a demented, non compos mentis mannequin and his masters, people like Jacques Attali, the true éminence grise of Globalism, or the infamous Yuval Noah Harari, whom the great Dr. Zelenko has exposed. 

Bergoglio isn't even a tertiary player among these big shots; and he's certainly NO defense against them. Instead, Bergoglio has turned the Church into a their lickspittle NGO lobby.
