James Martin blasphemy

James Martin takes blasphemy to a new level

Published on by Kathy Clubb1 Comment

I didn’t watch the interview – why would any faithful Catholic want to put themself through that? Reading the summary article was bad enough.

For those who aren’t aware, sodomite priest James Martin interviewed sodomite Democrat politician, Pete Buttigieg, for a new podcast series at the sodomite outlet, America Magazine. If the premise itself wasn’t bad enough, Martin took the opportunity to blaspheme in previously unheard of ways.

Well, occultists and sodomites blaspheme like this all the time. The difference is that pious ears normally aren’t aware of it.

According to the interview, Buttigieg is the son of an ex-Jesuit priest, so he didn’t receive the greatest start in life. Buttigieg, the former Secretary of Transportation, likes to think of himself as a “committed Christian”, and Martin does nothing to convince him otherwise. Rather, Martin confirms Buttigieg in his gravely sinful lifestyle: an active sodomite who lives with his gay “husband”. The men have adopted two little boys, deliberately depriving them of their mothers – those irreplaceable women who are most essential for the well-being of any child.

For Buttigieg, being a sodomite Christian is not incidental; it is his very identity. He says, “For There are two things I’m really sure about. One is that God loves me. And another is that I’m gay…. “

Then comes the blasphemy – and this really is a new low for Martin. He writes that when Buttigieg saw his little son hurt himself, he was struck by the love of God the Father for His Son. Buttigieg said:

“It just took over my entire psyche…. The central story of the New Testament involves the grisly execution of the son of God.… It just makes it so much more searing and visceral now that I’ve got kids.”

Well, for one thing, those aren’t your kids, but whatever, Buttigieg. According to Martin, this realisation “invited him to meditate more deeply on something Trinitarian: the Father’s love for the Son.”

Not only is he unable to count (only two Persons were mentioned, and not the three that constitute the Blessed Trinity) but the perverted mind of James Martin. SJ correlates the mystery of the Holy Trinity with the one sin that not even demons dare to witness! This is obscene blasphemy, friends.

Here is what Our Lord told St. Catherine of Siena about the sin of sodomy:

It is not only that this sin stinks before Me, Who am the Supreme and Eternal Truth, it does indeed displease Me so much and I hold it in such abomination that for it alone I buried five cities by a Divine judgment, My Divine justice being no longer able to endure it.

This sin not only displeases Me as I have said, but also the devils whom these wretches have made their masters. Not that the evil displeases them because they like anything good, but because their nature was originally angelic, and their angelic nature causes them to loathe the sight of the actual commission of this enormous sin.

They truly enough hurl the arrow poisoned with the venom of concupiscence, but when their victim proceeds to the actual commission of the sin, they depart for the reason and in the manner that I have said. 

Our Lord was particularly upset by priests who engaged in this grave perversion:

But they act in a contrary way, for they come full of impurity to this mystery, and not only of that impurity to which, through the fragility of your weak nature, you are all naturally inclined (although reason when free-will permits, can quiet the rebellion of nature), but these wretches not only do not bridle this fragility, but do worse, committing that accursed sin against nature, and as blind and fools with the light of their intellect darkened, they do not know the stench and misery in which they are.

So according to Our Lord, pro-gay priests like James Martin are “full of impurity”, “wretches” and “stench and misery.” Notoriously, Martin was appointed to the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication in 2017 by Papa Bergoglio and at the time of writing, (June 27, 2025) his name still appears on the Dicastery’s official webpage as a Consulter.

Will Pope Leo XIV remove this dreadful man from his official position? Will Martin be chastised for his blasphemies? This seems very unlikely as Leo and James Martin appear to be on the same page. Recall that Martin was absolutely jubilant at the election of Leo XIV and that this was the first red flag indicating that Prevost would continue Bergoglio’s agenda.

Please make reparations for these blasphemies; the Golden Arrow prayer is ideal for this purpose:

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored, and glorified in heaven, on earth, and in the hells, by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.

Pagan idol bishop is promoted

Pagan Idol Bishop Gets Promoted?!

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

republished from The Remnant.

It is by now common knowledge that Pope Leo XIV has made another highly inappropriate episcopal appointment in the person of Shane Mackinlay, currently Bishop of Sandhurst. To rub salt into the wounds of faithful Catholics, this new appointment will include Mackinlay’s promotion to the rank of Archbishop, as he takes over the Archdiocese of Brisbane, Queensland.

Bishop  Mackinlay has become prominent in recent months over his unrepentant installation of a demonic idol inside Sacred Heart Cathedral. Despite repeated calls for the removal of the infamous idol, and a petition singed by more than a thousand people, Bishop Mackinlay refused to back down. The idol had been part of a local art exhibition, and was openly linked by its creator with the occult, specifically with the condemned practices of Tarot card reading and witchcraft. Its placement in the Cathedral, as part of an esoteric ‘pilgrimage’ made a mockery of true Catholic pilgrimages and of Catholic belief itself.

Eventually, the laity stepped in and the idol was ‘relocated‘ by three anonymous men in broad daylight. No apology was ever provided by Bishop Mackinlay to deeply offended Catholics nor was a statement made by the diocese about the statue’s removal from the Cathedral.

The pagan idol display was only one of a series of incidents that point to Bishop Mackinlay’s failure to enforce the Catholic religion in his diocese, as ongoing scandals have been quite a feature of his tenure there. 

The pagan idol display was only one of a series of incidents that point to Bishop Mackinlay’s failure to enforce the Catholic religion in his diocese, as ongoing scandals have been quite a feature of his tenure there.  One recent incident highlights the diocese’s commitment to extreme ecumenism with its accompanying liturgical laxity. 

On that occasion, an Anglican priestess gave the appearance of concelebrating Mass. The woman, a known lesbian, remained near the altar during a Novus Ordo Mass and was administered Holy Communion. She even helped herself to a chalice containing the Precious Blood until it was retrieved by the hapless Catholic priest who has apparently suffered no consequences for his actions from the Bishop. While some good, orthodox priests do exist in Sandhurst diocese, these are few and far between, and they have been living with a constant fear of being targeted by their Bishop.

It is being argued that, along with other recent episcopal appointments made by Pope Leo, this one was in the pipeline long before he became Pope. That rings hollow, however, when one considers his position prior to becoming Pope, for the former Cardinal Robert Prevost was, in fact, Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. Having been in that position since January 2023, Cardinal Prevost was one of the churchmen best placed to evaluate the suitability or otherwise of our bishops.

According to the local Catholic grape-vine, Bishop Mackinlay had been earmarked for the Archdiocese of Brisbane for some time. This means that his name was already pencilled in for the position while Cardinal Prevost was still at the Dicastery for Bishops.

According to the local Catholic grape-vine, Bishop Mackinlay had been earmarked for the Archdiocese of Brisbane for some time. This means that his name was already pencilled in for the position while Cardinal Prevost was still at the Dicastery for Bishops. Thus there is little doubt that, due to his former position, Pope Leo is well aware that Bishop Mackinlay is in favour of ordained women deacons as well as Fiducia Supplicans, which the latter believes to be a “significant step forward.”

Bishop Mackinlay is also known internationally for his adherence to the Bergoglian theme of synodality and, just months ago, he released what can only be called a propaganda video extolling the virtues of this Modernist innovation. Note that in the video, pro-life activists are portrayed as antagonists who fail to ‘dialogue’ while, perhaps unsurprisingly, those of other faiths are portrayed as being respectful and therefore able to ‘enrich’ Catholics.

The inappropriateness of Bishop Mackinlay’s new appointment has not been lost on many in the Church. Bishop Strickland criticised the move on social media, drawing attention to Bishop Mackinlay’s stance on female deacons. Bishop Strickland stated that the appointment “raises serious pastoral and doctrinal questions”, saying that “appointing a bishop who holds such views to shepherd a major archdiocese is a source of scandal and division. The faithful deserve clarity, not ambiguity; fidelity, not experimentation.”

Yet, in one sense, the appointment of Archbishop-elect Shane Mackinlay could be seen as being entirely appropriate, as his future Archdiocese is even more notorious than his current one. The Archdiocese of Brisbane has been led by Mark Coleridge since 2012 and he is a man who is possibly even more dedicated to squashing tradition and promoting heterodoxy than is Bishop Mackinlay.

Drawing together all these threads, one can only wonder what criteria is being used by the Dicastery for Bishops when selecting our prelates. For it would be no surprise to learn that those with more than a passing interest in the occult are deliberately being sent to dioceses with a history of tolerating and even promoting New Age practices.

While Bishop Mackinlay has allowed Latin Masses to continue in the Sandhurst Diocese – albeit with caveats – since the introduction of Traditiones Custodes, Archbishop Coleridge has been far less understanding. In 2023, he banished the well-attended Latin Masses offered by the Brisbane Oratory to the nearby parish hall. The Masses had formerly been held in a stunning heritage church which had been sympathetically renovated.

It was Archbishop Coleridge who, during the COVID hysteria, enforced government mandates to an extreme degree – even threatening his priests with removal of faculties if they did not comply with vaccination mandates. Prior to that, Archbishop Coleridge allowed a sacrilegious and indecent performance in one of his churches and possibly enlisted Cardinal Blase Cupich to cover up for him over sex abuse allegations. It was also on Coleridge’s watch as President of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference that Freemasons were given permission to remain Catholics in good standing.

Archbishop Coleridge pictured with Fr. Marko Rupnik.

The Archdiocese of Brisbane has a history of heterodoxy and scandal, going all the way back to the 1980’s with then-Bishop Cuskelly and Archbishop Rush. Those two clerics, along with a bevy of priests, introduced into the Archdiocese of Brisbane revolutionary ideas such as a democratised Church and the potential for ordination of women. The wider acceptance of sodomy among Catholics can be traced back to this era.

After that came Archbishop Bathersby who infamously allowed a host of New Age practices to flourish within the Brisbane Archdiocese during the 1990’s. That included everything from nuns worshipping Gaia to alchemists lecturing seminarians.

There could only be one goal in such a grim scenario: that of further entrenching anti-Christianity in areas which are catechetical wastelands. Let us hope and pray for God to draw good from these disastrous appointments.

One highlight (or lowlight) during these decades, with particular relevance to Bishop Mackinlay, was a notorious shrine that appeared in Brisbane’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The shrine, entitled, The Human Search for God, was an anti-Christic collection of indigenous totems, fertility symbols and motifs related to pagan spirits and tribal ancestor worship. Some Catholics even discerned references to the magick rituals of Aleister Crowley in the designs.  Outrageously, the collection was in place for seven years.

Although the exhibition has now been removed, other disturbing artworks remain at St. Stephen’s including a bizarre crucifix over the main altar.

Bernadin

Who was Cardinal Bernadin?

Published on by Kathy Clubb1 Comment

Joseph Bernadin is remembered among traditionalists as one of the most notorious members of the American hierarchy, whose evil legacy is still being felt in the Catholic Church. This brief overview aims to explain why knowing the truth about Bernadin is particularly relevant to our times.

Background

Born in 1928, Joseph Bernadin was, according to the Chicago Tribune, the “son of an immigrant stonecutter.” He grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, which perhaps not coincidentally, was home of the Palladian Rite created by renowned Freemason, Albert Pike.

Ordained in the early 1950’s, Bernadin quickly rose through the ranks and was made a Monsignor by Pope John XXIII in 1959, at the age of only 31. He was Archbishop of Cinncinati from 1972 to 1982, then Archbishop of Chicago until his death in 1996. In 1983, Bernadin was raised to the Cardinalate by John Paul II.

As President of the USCCB, he exerted an enormous influence on the Church in the United States: during the 1970’s Bernadin promoted Communion in the hand, altar girls and toleration for homosexuals in the Church. He was a hero to the young Barack Obama and was viewed by the Church in the US as the progressive leader of a faction opposed to the relatively conservative “John Paul II Bishops.”

Charleston

Bernadin served as a priest in Charleston for fourteen years. The Charleston Diocese at this time was a hotbed of scandal due to the prevalence of homosexual clergy. Many of those were later charged with sexual abuse, including a former roommate of Bernardin, Monsignor Frederick Hopwood. In 1993, after Hopwood was accused of sexually abusing over 100 boys, then-Cardinal Bernadin acted to have the records of the case sealed and arranged for an out-of-court settlement for the victims.

Writer Richard Sipe documented evidence of Bernadin’s own penchant for young seminarians while the latter was Assistant Chancellor for the Diocese of Charleston.This included testimonies from priests who “partied” with Bernadin and the seminarians as well as at least one seminarian who said he had been “forced into a sexual relationship with Bernadin and other American prelates.”

Bernadin himself was officially charged with several counts of abuse. Although he denied the claims, one victim, who later died of AIDS, was compensated by the Chicago Archdiocese by around USD $3 million.

The “Boys Club”

Things were even more scandalous when Bernadin became Archbishop of Chicago. During his tenure there, Bernadin was implicated in a homosexual network known as the “Boys Club”. This group became known, not only for their homosexual activity but also for their involvement in occult rituals and sexual abuse of impoverished young boys.

A whistleblower who wanted to leave the group was murdered in 1984. Although the victim was apparently unknown to Cardinal Bernadin, the latter arrived unnannounced on the scene soon after the brutal murder to question police; the crime remains unsolved.

In 2014, it was revealed that Bernadin and another Cardinal, John Cody, had covered up thousands of abuse cases in the Archdiocese of Chicago during the 1990’s. They routinely moved abuser-priests from parish to parish, allowing them to maintain access to children.

Pectoral Cross

Bernadin is known to have worn the occult-inspired pectoral cross for which Bergoglio was infamous. Cardinal Fernandez has also been pictured wearing this cross.

[Note: Photographs of Cardinals Martini and Prevost (now Pope Leo XIV) wearing the same cross have circulated on social media but at the time of publication I wasn’t able to find these. I’ll update the article if I come across them again.]

The cross is thought to be representative of a Masonic gesture: the folding of arms across the chest.

Although the Masonic Encyclopedia claims that Christian icons of the Good Shepherd often have crossed arms, this seems not to be the case.

Rather, it is a gesture beloved of Rosicrucians: “The Good Shepherd Sign in Rosicrucian Knight´s masonic chapters consists of crossing arms over the chest, stretching hands with joined fingers and palms on the nipples, and opening eyes to heaven while bowing. This represents reason and immortality. This position can be reflected through the skull and crossed bones.“

Seamless Garment & Common Ground

Cardinal Bernadin coined the phrase ‘seamless garment’ in the 1970’s and this ideology has been adopted by the Church at the highest levels since that time. The ‘seamless garment’ philosophy is that Catholics must hold a ‘consistent life ethic’ meaning that they must oppose war, poverty, inequality, environmental decline and a host of other problems as passionately as they oppose abortion.

Pope Francis famously promoted this ideology when, along with his condemnations of abortion, he also condemned the death penalty.

Not long before his death, Bernadin founded the Catholic Common Ground Initiative, a project dedicated to ‘Reconciliation and Peacemaking’, interreligious dialogue and the ‘consistent life ethic’. Bernadin’s Common Ground project, with its focus on dialogue and ecumenism, can be seen as a forerunner of Pope Francis’ destructive ideology of ‘synodality.’

Ritual Sexual Abuse

Like many of the worst of our 20th and 21st century abusers. Bernadin was also said to have been involved in sexual abuse rituals. The most famous case is that of the woman known by the pseudonym, ‘Agnes’.

In the 1990’s, ‘Agnes’ came forward with allegations that she had been raped by Cardinal Berndadin when she was 11 years old. Agnes repeated the claims to investigators and Church officials, as well as in a sworn deposition and affidavits.

According to Agnes, the rape was part of a satanic ritual which was attended by both Bernadin and Bishop Russell of Charleston. Agnes’ father was in attendance and he presented her to be abused along with her pet dog. This incident famously formed the basis for the depraved Black Mass scene in the Malachi Martin’s novel, Windswept House.

Bernadin received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Bill Clinton in 1996

Death of Bernadin

Perhaps the most significant proof of Bernadin’s loyalties came at his funeral: the Windy City Gay Men’s Chorus sang at his wake in the Cathedral at his request. According to reports, “The chorus’s director said that they regarded the invitation as a sign of approval by the Church, and accepted enthusiastically.”

Not only that, Freemasons wearing their full regalia acted as guard s of honour, standing by Bernadin’s coffin. Bernardin was posthumously awarded the Fraternal Order of Masons’ Masonic Order of Galilei Award, which he had agreed to accept prior to his death.

A Disturbing Tribute

A concerning connection took place more recently, as Bernadin and his approach to ethics were lauded by then-Cardinal Prevost in 2023. Prervost gave an address given at the Catholic University of Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo, saying, “..a catholic cannot claim to be pro-life just to take a stance against abortion while at the same time saying they are in favour of the death penalty.”

This is merely further proof that Bernadin’s influence has not diminished over time and that his views remain highly regarded by Progressives both inside and outside the Church.

To aid in the distribution of this valuable document, I’ve published it below as a downloadable file. The following is taken from the booklet’s frontispiece:

This little bombshell exposes the truth about the once secret papers of the Alta Vendita, which lay out a Masonic blueprint for the subversion of the Catholic Church. The booklet quotes the actual Alta Vendita document, examines how far the Masonic plan has succeeded, cites Papal denunciations of Freemasonry and gives advice on how Catholics should respond to this grave spiritual danger.

We are making this booklet available to as many people as possible and hope to distribute it world-wide. The issue is the salvation of souls and peace in the world.

Pope Leo made 3 key appointments

Pope Leo: 3 Key Appointments & Two Huge Errors

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

Mainstream and alternative media alike continue to share the narrative that the new Pope, Leo XIV, is going to turn the Church away from its chaotic, Bergoglian-era path and onto a more peaceful pathway. However, as the Pope begins to make his Curial appointments, it is clear that this is just a furphy designed to make the synodal Ape of the Church more palatable for traditionalists.

These three key appointments show that Pope Leo’s agenda is simply a continuation, rather than a break with the pontificate of Jorge Bergoglio. Yet these pale into insignificance compared with the great errors being perpetrated by Leo and which are thankfully starting to be called out by traditionalist commentators: Universalism and Indifferentism.

Appointment #1: a feminist nun

The first unworthy appointment is the new Secretary of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, Sr. Tiziana Merletti. This Dicastery oversees religious congregations and orders as well as secular institutes, including of course, many priests and brothers.

The feminist-driven International Union of Superiors General sent its official congratulations to Sr. Merletti, noting that she was a member of the Commission for Safeguarding operated jointly by the men’s and women’s unions of superiors. “Her contributions are a gift to our global network, promoting justice, care and integrity in consecrated life,” the statement said.

However, Sr. Merletti is yet to make her opinion known on the despicable case of Marko Rupnik, who has sexually abused dozens of nuns; it would appear that those traumatised women somehow fall outside the remit of the “safeguarding” Commission.

According to its website, the five heads of the Dicastery now include three women – in a direct violation of Scripture and canon law.

Appointment #2: a pro-contraception Prelate

Also in May, Pope Leo appointed Msgr. Renzo Pegoraro as the new President of the Pontifical Academy for Life. The position was formerly held by the evil Cardinal Vincenzo Paglia but unfortunately, Paglia’s replacement is little better. As Dr. Thomas Ward, of the National Association of Catholic Families in the UK, noted, there’s no record of Pegoraro “disassociating himself from any of the egregious positions and comments of Archbishop Paglia.”

Pegoraro is in favour of contraception and has made worrying remarks about assisted suicide. He told the Wall Street Journal in 2022 that artificial contraception is admissible “… in the case of a conflict between the need to avoid pregnancy for medical reasons and the preservation of a couple’s sex life.”

Regarding assisted suicide, Pegoraro noted in 2022 that this was a preferable alternative to euthanasia:

“We are in a specific context, with a choice to be made between two options, neither of which — assisted suicide or euthanasia — represents the Catholic position.” However, he stated that, of the two options, “assisted suicide is the one that most restricts abuses because it would be accompanied by four strict conditions: the person asking for help must be conscious and able to express it freely, have an irreversible illness, experience unbearable suffering and depend on life-sustaining treatment such as a respirator.”

Pegoraro and Paglia appointed pro-abortion members to the Academy, including the notorious Mariana Mazzucato. Mazzucato, an atheist, is promoted by the World Economic Forum; the WEF website reveals that “Pope Francis appointed her to the Pontifical Academy for Life for bringing ‘more humanity’ to the world.”

Mariana Mazzucato

Pegoraro and Paglia explained their rationale in this way: “In this sense, it is important that the Pontifical Academy for Life include women and men with expertise in various disciplines and from different backgrounds, for a constant and fruitful interdisciplinary, intercultural and interreligious dialogue.”

So while Catholic media continue to claim that by replacing Paglia, Pope Leo is exhibiting signs of orthodoxy, the truth is that the deckchairs are merely being reshuffled and that Paglia, rather than being kicked out was resigning due to his age – a ripe old 80.

Appointment #3 – an anti-Catholic Bishop

One of Pope Leo’s first alarming moves was to appoint a progressive bishop to Saint Gall in Switzerland. Many put that down to his ignorance of the man (unlikely since as Cardinal Prevost, he was in charge of the Dicastery for Bishops) or to the unique relationship between Church and state in Switzerland. (That situation is above my pay-grade.)

But there is a more recent appointment that is also raising alarm bells: Pope Leo has appointed Monsignor Raúl Martín as Archbishop of Paraná, Argentina. Martín is known for banning parishioners from receiving Holy Communion kneeling and on the tongue, for some minor liturgical abuses, and also for his persecution of orthodox priests.

While some say that due to Bergoglio’s activity, there are no decent bishops from whom to select, I can only compare it with the state of affairs here in Australia. While the majority of our prelates are progressive, here and there, some relatively decent ones exist. So it seems highly unlikely that there is absolutely no one else from whom to choose in Argentina.

Leo’s Universalism & Indifferentism

Universalism is the belief that all souls will ultimately be saved, while a related heresy is Indifferentism: the belief that all religions are equal or that all paths lead to heaven. Unfortunately, despite his Latin and lace, Pope Leo is a proponent of both of these errors, which are unsurprisingly, fundamental principles of Freemasonry.

Chris Jackson has done a great job of laying out Pope Leo’s recurring Universalist theme, so I recommend that you read the entire thing at his Substack. Here are a couple of pertinent excerpts:

This phrase, “for all,” was the defining liturgical lie of the Novus Ordo for nearly four decades. It misrepresented the Latin pro multis as a universalist formula, contradicting the teaching of Christ and the explicit theology of the Church. It was corrected under Benedict XVI, who ordered all vernacular translations to finally conform to pro multis: “for many.” But Leo XIV has now restored the deception in the most public and solemn setting possible, consecrating new priests under a cloud of doctrinal subversion.

Chris Jackson, Leo’s “For All”: The Resurrection of a Lie and the March to Universal Salvation

On May 14, Leo XIV gave an address during the Jubilee of Oriental Churches. In it, he approvingly cited Isaac of Nineveh, a seventh-century Nestorian bishop who died outside communion with Rome. Isaac belonged to the Assyrian Church of the East, rejected the Council of Chalcedon, and taught a form of mystical universalism. He has long been associated with the belief that Hell is not eternal, but rather a purgative experience that ultimately leads all souls, including demons, toward healing and reconciliation.

Chris Jackson, Leo’s “For All”: The Resurrection of a Lie and the March to Universal Salvation

One instance of Pope Leo’s promotion of religious indifferentism can be found in his address to participants at a conference on pursuing Catholic-Orthodox unity: he said that “what unites us is greater than what divides.”

Pope Leo said he saw the conference as “an invaluable opportunity to emphasise that, what we have in common is much stronger, quantitatively and qualitatively, than what divides us.”

For a start, there’s a thousand-year schism shows this is patently untrue. And “what divides us” includes the Orthodox rejection of papal authority, not to mention its leniency towards divorce and remarriage and also contraception.

Then compare Leo’s words with those of Pope Pius XII: “They shall also be on guard lest, on the false pretext that more attention should be paid to the points on which we agree than to those on which we differ, a dangerous indifferentism be encouraged…” (On the Ecumenical Movement, 1949.)

It certainly appears that ‘a dangerous indifferentism’ is being encouraged by the current pontiff. Although he has the power to rescind, or at he very least ignore, his predecessor’s indifferentist manifesto, the Abu Dhabi Document, he actually quoted from it in an address to non-Catholic representatives on May 15.

None of this bodes well for the trajectory of the apparent Pax Romana for which Leo is responsible. Rather, it reminds one of the Scripture verse: And it was not enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but whereas they lived in a great war of ignorance, they call so many and so great evils peace. (Wisdom 14: 22)

The idol from Bendigo's Cathedral has vanished

Bendigo Cathedral’s pagan idol vanishes!

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

A recent article on this website reported on a scandalous ‘artwork’ being exhibited at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo. Despite the statue’s creator publicly and explicitly explaining that the inspiration for his work was witchcraft, tarot cards and occult philosophy, the Bishop responsible for the Cathedral refused to have the image removed.

Massive pushback from the laity and other clergymen in the form of letters, phone-calls, emails and petitions did not have the desired effect as Bishop Shane Mackinlay and his Diocesan bureaucrats confirmed that the idol would remain in the Cathedral for the duration of the exhibition: an entire three months.

Blatant Occultism in Bendigo Cathedral
The occult-inspired art work in Bendigo Cathedral

However, at some point during the past week, three unknown individuals decided to take matters into their own hands and quietly removed the disgusting image from Sacred Heart. A picture circulating on social media shows the spot where the idol had formerly been placed; its clay foundation, its sheer covering and the information stand remain.

The former site of the hideous idol inside the Cathedral.

The artist, Ben Wrigley, confirmed the theft on his Instagram page (while also showing his ignorance of the Commandments – the directive not to steal is Commandment number 7.)

Transcendence Wand #4 was reported to me this afternoon as having been stolen from inside the Sacred Heart Cathedral, Bendigo, today by three men.

This work depicts the transcendence of being bound by the dense material world. Of the lightness of being. The veil symbolises the gossamer thing significance of moving from the gross self to illuminated being and becoming closer to god.
One of five interconnected works representing five stations of life. L
The significance of the transgression of these three men is palpable. The eighth commandment – thou shall not steal and from a place of worship.
I look forward to having it returned.

To date, there has been no official statement from either Bishop Mackinlay or the Diocese of Sandhurst regarding the idol’s removal.

It is gratifying to know that there are still men within our ranks of the calibre of Saint Boniface who will refuse to allow holy places to be defiled by pagan images. Our prayers this week should include some for the vigilantes’ protection and well as for the conversion of Bishop Mackinlay to the Catholic faith.
