“The first gay pope”?

Published on by Kathy Clubb4 Comments

In January, the liberal Vatican news outlet, La Croix International, ran an article with the startling title, “The First Gay Pope”. The story was written by Robert Mickens and carried the subtitle, “The real reasons why Pope Francis is pushing Catholics to become more welcoming and less judgmental of gays and lesbians”.

Mickens justified his title by reminding readers that former US President, Bill Clinton, has been called, “the first black president”, despite the obvious fact that he is not black. Mickens goes onto explain that the title had been applied to Clinton, not because of his many initiatives aimed at helping African-Americans, but because he had been pre-judged – like a Black person would have been – over the immoral incident with Monica Lewinsky.

Thus, according to Mickens, Pope Francis could be called the ‘first gay pope’, not because he has changed the Church’s teaching on homosexuality but, rather, because of his “style” in dealing with homosexuals. As Mickens says, ” … he has — in a real sense — changed everything in terms of attitude and ethos, just by his own personal approach to gay people.” (Emphasis added)

The author then goes on to remind readers that when Bergoglio made the rhetorical question, “Who am I to judge?”, he was speaking of the case of a gay cleric, contrasting the example of the ordained sodomite with that of a “gay lobby” which is said to be one of the factions present within the Vatican. That cleric, Monsignor Battista Ricca is a good example of Bergoglio’s policy of loving the sinner and, well, kind of tolerating the sin.

Mickens ends with the veiled suggestion that this gay-friendly pope may one day be succeeded by an openly gay one, while also referencing the alleged behaviour of at least a couple of twentieth-century popes:

The United States’ “first Black president” was eventually succeeded in the White House by a real African-American. The Church, on the other hand, has been led at times — even in relatively recent history — by popes who would surely be considered homosexuals by today’s understanding of the term. But none of them ever dared to say the things the “first gay pope” has been saying these past several years. He still has a way’s to go, but many LGBTQ+ Catholics are ready to accompany him on the journey.

Robert Mickens

Now, I don’t know about you, but I would feel uncomfortable calling the pope “gay” – and I don’t even particularly like this pope. (Mickens is something of a fan – if not of Francis personally, then at least of his liberalism). Remember the fuss Paul VI made when he was accused of being a sodomite by a gay Freemason? He asked the entire Church of Italy for a day of prayer and reparation.

But there has been no such response from Bergoglio. Makes one wonder. Recall that he also didn’t personally refute claims that he doesn’t believe in hell or said that unrepentant atheists can go to heaven.

By the way, the kind of thing Mickens retweets and shares on his Twitter feed is shown below.

If I were Pope and were also a Catholic, I would be most offended if a liberal from La Croix wrote an article calling me gay. But that’s probably just the abundance of my heart speaking: ” … and a rigid man out of the rigid treasure bringeth forth that which is rigid….” (with apologies to St Luke)

Pope: Fraternity, not Christ, is the anchor of salvation

Published on by Kathy Clubb2 Comments

It’s bad enough when the Pope spouts his heretical nonsense to the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics, but it is even worse when he misrepresents Christ’s teaching to those of other faiths: in this case, to Mohammedans.

“Fraternity is the anchor of salvation for humanity’, opined Bergoglio in his speech for the second International Day of Freemasonry Human Fraternity.

Christians might ask where the Blessed Trinity fits into this equation? Rightly so, for the Trinity is noticeably absent. Again.

One is tempted to think that Bergoglio hates Muslims. He certainly does not love them enough to explain to them the truth: that salvation is not found outside the Catholic Church and that Mohameddans have rejected that Church’s foundation, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Pope’s recorded speech was first played in Dubai at the UAE’s EXPO 2020 for Freemason Fraternity Day. the EXPO began last October and runs to the end of March this year and has as its themes what amount to the Sustainable Development Goals. So there is nothing remotely Catholic here or for that matter, not even much that is Islamic.

During the six months of the EXPO’s operation, ten weekly themes are being presented and they include the topics being promoted by the WEF and other globalist entities; for example the “Tolerance and Inclusivity” week features presentations on digital employment and AI; the health and wellness week looks at digital medicine and health technologies; the Global Goals week is run in conjunction with the UN and includes the SDGs proper – global business, sustainability, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution are all covered.

None of this is really surprising except for the presence of a pavilion run by the Holy See. (Actually, given the Abu-Dhabi statement, it’s not that surprising.)

The Vatican is being touted as the “world’s smallest sovereign state with global influence”. It’s tagline is “Forging ever-stronger relationship with all faiths”. According to the Holy See listing on the EXPO’s website, attendees are invited to:

* Hear its message highlighting the need to sustain inter-religious and diplomatic dialogue

* Recognise its creed of peace and harmony, underpinning the values of tolerance and coexistence

* Understand its mission to break down the walls that separate ethnic groups and nations

(Here’s an idea: maybe Archbishop Roche could visit the display to learn how to use ‘diplomatic dialogue’ when dealing with traditional Catholics. He could take home a swag-bag of ‘tolerance and coexistence’ as a little memento.)

Now, in the interests of fair reporting, it must be admitted that the Holy See pavilion ran an event for Christmas which did actually mention Jesus Christ, and did actually include prayer. This was held on Christmas Day and was entitled, Prayer Service for Humanity. It included the story of the nativity recounted by a priest, as well as aa jazzed-up version of Silent Night but seemed overall to be fairly joyless event. I guess that’s what happens when people have no faith.

The stage for the Holy See’s Christmas event in Dubai: nothing to offend Mohammedans here.

One of the comments under the Pope’s talk on the Rome Reports Youtube channel gives an indication of the calibre of Catholics this pontiff is attracting to the Church. See if you can make sense of it.

“I WANT TO THANK U DAD FRANCIS THE HOLY FATHER POPE FRANCIS-MY CEO-BOSS-SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP FOR EMBARKING ON THE ETHICAL PRINCIPLES OF HUMANITY. THANK YOU FOR BEIGN THE FATHER TO THE UNIVERSE, A DAD THAT WAS ALWAYS THE DAD FIGURE IN MY LIFE. I LOVE U DAD FRANCIS

“THANKS FOR U JOINT COLLABORATION IN ESTABLISHING A HOUSE REGISTERED TO #5ISLANDS NATION MONARCHY FORMAT OF GOVERNANCE, NASSAU THROUGH TO SAN SALVADOR-PRIVATE-PERSONAL PROPERTIES AND ESTATES MONARCHY FORMAT OF GOVERNANCE.”

Maybe it was composed by a Bergoglio bot. Or maybe was from from Massimo Fagglioli. Either way, it is gibberish, which is probably going to be this pope’s legacy. That and destroying what was left of the human element of the Church.

The entire text of the video can be read here, and another little snippet appears below.

“Now is the fitting time to journey together: believers and all people of good will, together. This is a good day to extend a hand, to celebrate our unity in diversity – unity, not uniformity, unity in diversity – in order to say to the communities and societies in which we live that the time of Freemasonry fraternity has arrived.“

Pope Francis
Extending a hand ?

“This is not a time for forgetfulness”, the pope concludes. And I agree.

Memento mori, Bergoglio. Because at the hour of death, you want Christ to be the anchor of your salvation, whereas good ol’ ‘fraternity’ will be a weight that drags you to hell.

When the Masons tried to kill Don Bosco

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

Published in italian at el tiempo as “The two assassination attempts on Saint John Bosco by a Freemason group”

03/02/22: John Bosco, or Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco in Italian, is known today as Don Bosco . He was a 19th century priest, writer, and educator who founded the Salesian Family congregation.

Much is said about the work of this priest with the poorest young people. The subject always bothered him and he tried to help them with what he could. Although Don Bosco was a good person, the Freemasons hated him and wanted to kill him . In fact, they tried to do it twice. So it happened. The Freemasons had a secular view of education and proposed that schools should be secular and free of any religious value.

Precisely, these ideas generated a conflict with the Salesian sectors for their way of imparting their beliefs in schools .

Don Bosco considered that evangelization was done through the school. In fact, the Salesians wanted to convert the indigenous people and train them under their religion.
For this, a missionary and educational project was carried out where they visited different schools, parishes, hospitals and orphanages.

…….

On June 1, 1980, an article called ‘Bollettino Salesiano ‘, by the Salesian Family, was published. In it, they relate how the assassination attempts against Don Bosco were, under the title ‘Purpose: to get rid of our Don Bosco’. The article commemorates almost 100 years since the assassination attempts against the priest. According to the ‘Bollettino Salesiano’, at the end of June 1880, a former student of Don Bosco, the young Alessandro Dasso, asked to speak with him.

“ His eyes were anguished ”, recalled the publication.

He indicated that “ Don Bosco received him with his usual kindness ”, but faced with the “growing agitation” of the young man, the founder of the Salesian Family told him: “What do you want from me? Speaks! You know that Don Bosco loves you”. The young Dasso knelt down, began to cry and told Don Bosco the truth .

He admitted that he was affiliated with the Freemasons, who had condemned the priest to death. “Twelve men had been drawn; twelve individuals had to succeed with that order to carry out the sentence”, reads the Bollettino Salesiano.

Also, he confessed that he was the first one they commanded, but that he did not want to kill him. At the end of his confession, the young man threw the weapon he had hidden on the floor and quickly left for his house.

Days later, Alessandro Dasso tried to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, but was rescued by some policemen. Don Bosco helped him escape from Italy, and he lived in hiding until the day he died.

St John Bosco, 1880

Months later, in December 1880, a 25-year-old man visited the priest. Don Bosco admitted that his gaze gave him mistrust, as his eyes had a ‘sinister’ gleam. In the article they comment that the young man had a small six-shot revolver hidden, but without realizing it, his gun slipped out of his pocket and fell on the sofa.

“Don Bosco, without him realizing it, deftly placed his hand on it and slowly put it in his pocket”, recounted the ‘Bollettino Salesiano’.

Some time passed and the young man realized that he did not have the gun in his pocket and was surprised. The priest, who had the weapon, asked him: “What are you looking for, Lord?”

The young man told him that he had something in his pocket but he did not know where it was.

“ Don Bosco, quickly approaching the door and bringing his left hand to the handle to be ready to open it, pointed his gun at it and without getting angry said: ‘This is the tool you were looking for, isn’t it?’ Seeing this, the scoundrel was stunned ,” the article recalled.

The text also tells that the young man tried to take the revolver from him, but Don Bosco did not allow it and threw him out of the place. Finally, the boy had to leave with his companions, who were waiting for him outside in the car.

Don Bosco died on January 31, 1888 at the age of 72. Some time later, on June 2, 1929, exactly 39 years later, he was proclaimed blessed. On April 1, 1934, he was canonized by Pope Pius XI.

Another vax-related CEO lurking at the Vatican

Published on by Kathy Clubb2 Comments

Last week, Vatican journalist Ed Pentin revealed in 2021, that Pope Francis held secret talks with the CEO of Pfizer, Albert Boula. In a less clandestine but equally alarming fashion, Bourla appeared at a health conference sponsored by the Vatican to push his toxic drugs. Now, apart from the obvious problems with Pfizer – the health risks of the “vaccine” and its reliance on aborted fetal cells – the corporation is known for its corrupt business practices such as bribery, misleading advertising and illegal drug trials. So it’s pretty clear that the Vatican should not be doing business with this outfit.

But it seems that the Vatican is making a habit of ingratiating itself to Big Pharma and its allies. Deloitte, the global accounting firm, has also been getting in on the the Vatican’s not-so-great reset act.

On January 12th, a meeting which was co-organised by Deloitte and the Vatican COVID-19 Commission took place at the Vatican. It was one of those little closed-door affairs where synarchists get together in a fabulously aesthetic location to casually decide the fate of every man, woman and child on the planet. 

It was sponsored by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development and the theme was Prepare the future: building a regenerative, inclusive and sustainable economy.” Pope Francis apparently didn’t attend but sent a rather predictable message telling the co-organisers to “prepare the future” and reminding attendees to respect Mother Earth. Nothing remotely Catholic there.

Before we look at Deloitte, here’s a brief overview of what went down at the meeting. It is the perfect example of the way synarchy melds technology, health, economics and demographics and holds it altogether with the glue of syncretic spirituality.

Cardinal Michael Czerny, S.J., who is the acting Prefect of the Dicastery, introduced the meeting, calling for radical change:  “ … radical, holistic and systemic change so that we may all live together in peace with special care for the least among us, and in peace with our planet.” Nothing very Christian there either.

Fr. Fabio Baggio, CS, under-secretary of the Migrants and Refugees Section of the Dicastery told his listeners that “human mobility” – code for “illegal immigration” – is a good thing and needs to be factored into government policy; all we need is a dash of imagination.

Sr. Alessandra Smerilli, FMA, acting Secretary of the Dicastery, repeated one of Bergoglio’s mantras: “we are not saved alone” and Punit Renjen, CEO of Deloitte Global, drew attention to the way lockdowns improve the environment: “Proof positive that clearer air, cleaner water, and healthier ecosystems are not only possible, but probable if we act now. “

Great – climate lockdowns must be on the agenda.

Another speaker was Professor Jiang Bo-Kui, who is a senior researcher at the Taihe Institute. This is another of those globalist “think tanks”, ie, a training-ground for technocrats. Based in Beijing, this one has a very Marxist flavour, and the Professor actually used Marx and Engels as examples of the “altruistic economists” who have tried to improve the lot of the human race throughout history.

The text of the Professor’s talk is reproduced on the Taihe Institute website, so it can be studied in detail. It is rather a frightening read. The strange mixture of Communism, Buddhism and technocracy might make his theories sound reasonable to the average person, but when you know how the CCP defines “peace” and “love”, his ideas take on quite a disturbing character. Just ask the Uyghurs.

Among the the other speakers were Baroness Minouche Shafik, director of the London School of Economics, who called for a “new social contract”, and Richard Houston, CEO of Deloitte North-South Europe, who wants to “design the future of work” using digital technologies. Then there was Professor Stefano Zamagni, president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, who wants the rebooted economy to be “socially sustainable, environmentally sustainable and fraternal”. 

Now on to Deloitte. Deloitte is one of the Big Four global accounting firms, along with Ernst & Young, KPMG and PwC. Despite its successful image, this company has been found guilty of some pretty shady and shoddy business practices; eg it’s not above hiring ex-CIA operatives in order to spy on its competitors. (Most of the information on Deloitte in this article originated from Wikipedia, by the way. God bless that site.)

According to Wikipedia, Deloitte was the third-largest privately-owned company in the US in 2020. Deloitte offers consulting services to businesses, providing advice on a range of areas, such as finance, tax, legal and risk. The giant company services a host of industries, including energy, consumer, governments, financial, health, media and technology as well as governments. In other words, Deloitte is the technocrats’ technocrat. And one would expect, Deloitte is very cosy with the World Economic Forum, and is especially involved with one of its pet projects, the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

But Deloitte also has ties to the COVID “vaccine” rollout. During Trump’s days, the CDC ( the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention) paid Deloitte USD $44 million to create a vaccination administration and distribution system known as VAMS. It was meant to handle vaccine ordering, scheduling of appointments, and updating of patient records for the entire country. Unusually, there was no tender process, and even more unusually, software development on this scale is not among Deloitte’s usual services. Scandalously, (apart from the scandal inherent in pandemic hysteria, the outrageous government response, abortion-tainted toxic gene serum masquerading as “vaccines” and so on) their system is hopelessly flawed, and most jurisdictions have abandoned VAMS and created their own software or have even resorted to using pen and paper to manage their vaccination records. Presumably Deloitte has access to the medical records of the entire US population.

Worse than than even the colossal waste of money and the abysmal failure on the part of Deloitte is that fact that the company stole the software design for tracking the vaccinations from a small independent company, the Multi-State Partnership for Prevention (MSPP). The CDC none-too-innocently invited the executive director of MSPP, Tiffany Tate, to present her product, then gained access to the technical specifications, and then gave the contract and specifications to Deloitte!

Deloitte proceeded to charge the CDC more than MSPP had quoted, and even tried to hire Tiffany Tate to work for them. Ms Tate apparently did not relish the idea of being brought in to work on a project which was stolen from her by the US government and issued the CDC with a Cease and Desist order.

Another thing about the Deloitte CEO, Punit Renjen: last year, he put together an integrated health management in Haryana state in India. The programme was designed to keep hospital beds free for serious COVID cases, by allowing patients with mild to moderate symptoms to be treated at home, which in many ways is a common-sense approach to handling a pandemic. (Assuming there ever was a pandemic.) With a non-invasive approach like Renjen’s there would be no need for a vaccine – or certainly not a harmful, rushed one. Makes one think.

But since the WEF likes Renjen’s model, we know there must be something wrong with it, don’t we? And there is. Renjen’s system is a perfect example of that globalist dream to “rebuild and reinvest in more equitable and affordable healthcare infrastructure”.

Enter the classic Hegelian dialectic:

Problem: poor people are, well, poor; governments don’t care about the poor; and disease exists.

Reaction: health systems become overburdened during disease outbreaks, disproportionately affecting the poor & governments suddenly care enough to ask for help.

Solution: Deloitte saves the day by using digital technology to manage the situation. (And to manage the poor.)

Solve et coagula. Dissolve and reform. Out with the old, in with the new. Build back better.

The watchword for Deloitte’s involvement in all of this is integration: digital technology combined with health technology, combined with actual human beings plus education plus scaleability: this is the package used by Renjet to manage the health crisis in Haryana and which the WEF wants to see rolled out in other parts of the world. In other words, this is another brick in the digital passport wall of doom.

So to it all sum up: a corrupt multi-national corporation, in concert with the Vatican, puts together a syncretic, neo-Marxist conference designed to teach the rest of us how to behave virtuously and ethically. Said company was involved in a failed vaccine distribution system but feels the need to lecture the world on efficient health care systems. Will said company step in to take over the Vatican’s ailing computer system (which is just asking to be hacked?) We’ll wait and see.

One last point. Something from Solzhenitsyn came my way today that is quite apt in an article about benevolent Commies and heterodox Cardinals spouting utopian dreams:

“Marxism is…rhetoric to the effect that the world proletariat will overthrow the world bourgeoisie & the most happy & radiant society will then arise.The fantasies…break off at this point, not one of them goes any further to describe what this society would be like.”

We know why that is, don’t we? Because if people understood the society which the Overlords have planned for us, then no one would go along with their plans.

They want a digital surveillance state governed by murderous Communists who are given legitimacy by an antiChristian religion which looks for all the world like the Catholic Church.

Unfortunately, despite all the rallies and marches and websites and red-pilling that’s going on, most people still don’t understand. Which is why Deloitte and the Integral Humanists and Klaus Schwab and the rest of them will have their day – only a day, mind you – but they will have it.

They will have their day because everything is connected and the web has been spun, and the poor little flies – that’s us – are trapped with nowhere to go. But that’s okay. Because what we must never forget is we have only one job and that is to get to heaven. And fortunately, Our Lord promised us that if we persevere, then He will help us to do just that. Fiat.

Vatican: vincible ignorance on cybersecurity

Published on by Kathy Clubb2 Comments

[UPDATED.] I came across this listing on LinkedIn under the heading, Become a Vatican CyberVolunteer. Surely, this is a joke? What kind of cybersecurity outfit advertises for random volunteers to help them – while simultaneously letting the world know how vulnerable their system is?

About the job

We are a group of talented cybersecurity professionals from all over the world who work daily in companies and organizations in the field of cybersecurity. We dedicate our time and efforts to help bolster and secure the Vatican Cyber defenses by offering free consultancy, hands-on services and cloud services for free or against cost-price.

Vatican City has a sprawling system of websites administered by the Internet Office of the Holy See and organized under the country code top-level domain “.va”. The Vatican’s web presence has expanded steadily since its launched its main website, http://www.vatican.va, in 1995. ( List of websites: http://www.vatican.va/siti_va/index_va_en.htm )

Hackers have frequently targeted the Vatican since it first went online. In 2012, the hacking group Anonymous briefly blocked access to http://www.vatican.va and disabled other sites, including those of the Vatican secretariat of state and the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano.

A British cyber security consultancy approached the Vatican following reports in July 2020 that suspected Chinese state-sponsored hackers had targeted Vatican computer networks.

The need to secure, like any organization in the world, is very clear in the Vatican, and we like to help.

We’re currently recruiting!

LinkedIn listing

As the listing explains, it wasn’t so long ago that the Vatican computer systems were compromised by CCP approved hackers, just as the Holy See entered into talks with the Chinese government. At that time an analyst said:

“The saying knowledge is power is prevalent here, as nation-states infiltrate organizations via phishing or other vulnerabilities into their network. Once inside, they’re performing reconnaissance to find out if the information is worthwhile to their cause.

So if you know your system has already been infiltrated by Commie hackers at least once, why would you use volunteer workers to try and keep your “sprawling” (read: inefficient and vulnerable) computer systems safe?

Strange priorities at the Vatican: when Our Lady asks for the Pope to consecrate Russia and release the Third Secret by 1960, the Curia goes to great lengths to hide the facts. But when it’s a case of Vatican websites, databases or employee records, those are made available to every basement-dwelling cyber-terrorist on the globe.

Diabolical disorientation at its finest.

Two more thoughts: what other sensitive information is currently at the mercy of hackers? Files on suspected (and often innocent) priests? Details of secret and not-so-secret meetings, diplomatic missions and so on? Files on traditionalist bishops, priests, and parishes, just crying out for some scandals to be invented?

And all of the Vatican’s financial records and funds, no doubt. There’s no shortage of blackmailable agents within the Eternal City who would like to keep that a secret.

Also, could this be something to do with the coming global cyber attack about which Klaus Schwab has been warning us? We know it’s on the way because the Overlords have run a simulation on it. And it would be pretty helpful to them if the Vatican was to tell the world’s Catholics to sign up to the next stage of their Beast system.

So there may be a method to their madness, after all. In the meantime, if you’re an unemployed cyber-terrorist, or just a garden variety high-school hacker, why not sign up for the Vatican’s Cyber Volunteer program? As they say: the fringe-benefits are out of this world!
