It was bad enough that Papa Bergoglio would agree to meet with the Board of Directors of a pro-abortion NGO at the Vatican. The setting for the official photograph, however, takes this meeting to another level.
The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation is the largest funder of Catholic religious sisters around, has sent millions of dollars towards the formation and good works of Catholic sisters over the years. It also assists refugees, the poor and provides access to safe water – ostensibly one of its seven main goals. The Foundation also has an association with National Catholic Reporter which, due to its heterodox content, even US Bishops have claimed is ‘not really Catholic’.
That’s all well and good but the Hilton Foundation is also very pro-abortion. Among the many organisations the Foundation has helped financially are those dedicated to ‘reproductive health’ aka abortion and contraception, including the ‘California Latinas for Reproductive Justice.’ [see more here.]
California Latinas for Reproductive Justice
Pope Francis met with the Board of the Hilton Foundation on January 22 of this year. He of course told them how wonderful their work was, giving them some gems like “Compassion is not throwing money into the hands of another without looking them in the eyes.“Right. Be like McCarrick who looked the Popes right in the eyes as he threw them bucketloads of money.
What really caught my eye was the strange artwork hanging in the background of the official photograph of the occasion, which was circulated by the Vatican’s press office. Although not as aesthetically offensive as other artwork favoured by the Curia (thinking here of Rupnik and Jago) this one certainly is strange when you take a close look at it. And the fact that it was chosen as the backdrop to the photograph of Francis taken with abortion advocates and feminist nuns like Nathalie Berquart makes it even more stunning.
“Abbraccio Cosmico” by Camilian Demetrescu
“Abbraccio Cosmico” (Cosmic Embrace) is a tapestry created by by Camilian Demetrescu. Demetrescu was a Freemason-turned-Moslem who associated with Modernists, nihilists and Theosophists. His tapestry was installed in 2008, during the pontificate of Benedict XVI.
This tapestry has been made in Italy (Gallese) after the september 11th 2001 : the cosmic love (abbraccio cosmico) is the only response to such a tragedy. Two angels are moving the universe around the planets’ hug.
What he doesn’t explain is that this design is all about astrology, including cosmic portals and ‘as above, so below’ imagery as well as the fake New Age ‘angels’.
Below is one interpretation of the image that came from an occultist – not from the artist himself. [NOTE: This information came from a website called ‘Keys to Ascension’. I really don’t like linking directly to occult websites.]
The translation means “Cosmic Embrace.” The center of this painting is a man and woman1 in a tender embrace. This represents the Sacred Union of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine. Uniting the Heart and the Mind through Divine Cosmic Love – Christ Love!
Facing the picture, the Blue Angel on the left represents the Feminine/Universe/ Spirit. The Brown Angel on the right represents Masculine/Earth/Physicality. The Angels wings are pointing up and down. They are each holding a handle. One up – one down. As Above – So Below. The handles are connected to a shaft of Light that runs through the heart center of the Divine Cosmic Embrace. The EnLightened Ones are guiding the transition.
Notice also that the handle held by the Earth Angel is attached to a spiral – a Cosmic Portal. The handle held by the Cosmic Angel is attached to a symbol of the Cardinal Grand Cross2. Earth/Humanity goes through the Cosmic Portal to connect to the heart of Divine Source/Divine Unconditional Love – the Cosmic Embrace. The Cosmic Alignment funnels Light through Divine Source/Divine Unconditional Love to elevate Earth.
The Cosmic Portal envelopes the planets and humanity in a Divine embrace of Christ Consciousness. This is the birth of the New Age of EnLightenment!
Another interpreation explains that the two people embracing are ‘asexual.’ ↩︎
An astronomical formation which is highly significant in the practise of astrology. When a Cardinal Grand Cross occurs in the heavens, it is a ‘sacred day’ to many occultists. ↩︎
This week, I’ve put together an overview of how Freemasonry was dropped from the Code of Canon Law. It’s an interesting topic and indicates some high-level prelates who are most likely Ecclesiastical Freemasons. You can read that here.
A second article takes a satirical look at the latest insult Bergoglio has been hurling at Trads via his latest book, Hope.
Speaking of the Pope’s new so-called autobiography, this article by Jules Gomes at The Stream is very good. Gomes includes this snippet from Henry Sire’s The Dictator Pope which sheds some light on Francis’ vicious attacks on Traditionalists – he is obviously projecting onto them the defects of which he has been accused:
Father Kolvenbach accused Bergoglio of a series of defects, ranging from habitual use of vulgar language to deviousness, disobedience concealed under a mask of humility, and lack of psychological balance; with a view to his suitability as a future bishop, the report pointed out that he had been a divisive figure as provincial of his own order. It is not surprising that, on being elected pope, Francis made efforts to get his hands on the existing copies of the document, and the original filed in the official Jesuit archives in Rome has disappeared.

“We wish it to be your rule first of all to tear away the mask from Freemasonry, and to let it be seen as it really is.” – Leo XIII, HUMANUM GENUS.
During most of the twentieth century, the prohibition on Catholics being Freemasons was well known, as it was explicitly mentioned in the the 1917 Code of Canon Law. Canon 2335 conferred the penalty of excommunication on any Catholic who was the member of a sect which conspired against the Church or the State, including Freemasonry.
However, as time progressed, various clerics began to engage in an appeasement approach which caused confusion among the faithful – and indeed, among the clergy themselves. This came to a head in the 1970’s when Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia requested clarification on the matter from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The Prefect of the CDF at that time was Cardinal Franjo Seper, who wrote to Cardinal Krol assuring him that the penalty of automatic excommunication only applied to members of those organisations which actively plotted against the Church.
Coming as it did, with the apparent authority of the CDF, this statement was seen by many as a blanket lifting of the penalty for Masonic membership.
The Revised Code of Canon Law
Pope John Paul II established the Plenary Congregation of the Pontifical Commission for the Revision of the Code of Canon Law in 1981 to make the changes which were eventually promulgated two years later. The majority of the members of the Plenary Congregation were not in favour of renewing canon 2335, the Canon referring to Freemasonry, and so it was dropped from the 1983 Code.
Instead, a new canon was created, canon 1374, which omits any explicit mention of Freemasonry. Canon 1374 reads: “One who joins an association which plots against the Church is to be punished with a just penalty; one who promotes or moderates such an association, however, is to be punished with an interdict 1.”
Those in favour of the Change
The arguments in favour of not renewing the Code included the belief that in most countries, Freemasonry no longer posed a threat to the Church; that if a threat did in fact exist, many Masons were unaware of a anti-Catholic agenda within their sect; and that Communism posed more of a threat than Freemasonry. There was also a desire to conform to guidelines set down by Paul VI which sought to reduce the number of latae sententiae penalties in the Code.
Included among those who held this position were Esteban Gomez, OP, an instructor at the Angelicum in Rome; Cardinal Rosalio José Castillo Lara, SDB, Secretary of the Pontifical Commission for the Revision of the Code of Canon Law; Bishop José Vicente Andueza Henriquez of Venezuela; Bishop Roman Arrieta Villalobos, President of the Bishops’ Conference of Costa Rica; and Cardinal Franz König, Archbishop of Vienna.
The inclusion of Cardinal König’s name is somewhat unsurprising as he was well-known to the Italian Freemasons who even claimed to have given him money on several occasions:
First, he started a confidential dialogue with the most important Masons. Once it was accepted, he waited for the right moment to propose a different image of Masonry to Catholics. His influence in the Code was decisive. Koenig is well aware of what the Institution is. He has a good understanding of Masonic “solidarity,” because every time he asked help from us, he received it, without having to explain the purpose for that money.
Italian Grand Master Armando Corona, from a 1990 interview
Those Against the Change
Those who were in favour of retaining Canon 2335 included the German Bishops’ Conference, who had been engaged in extensive dialogue with Freemasons, yet concluded that in its essence, Freemasonry remained hostile to the Church. Cardinal Siri was also against any change, saying that nothing in Freemasonry had changed. Cardinal Ratzinger, then Prefect of the CDF, declared that Freemasonry posed an ‘extraordinary danger’ and that if it was thought in some countries to have changed, then that only indicated that its danger was not understood by the bishops there.
Further, Cardinal Pietro Palazzini, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints, stated that retaining the penalty of excommunication for Freemasons did not violate Paul VI’s guidelines. He said that:
….. their “creed” is “apostasy, at least implicitly”; that is, it eliminates truth and revealed religion while welcoming Catholics as “useful idiots”. In pastoral practice there is a need to avoid equivocating and to clearly show the sure way to salvation. Freemasonry is more dangerous than Communism, because while Communism is the explicit enemy of the Church, Freemasonry is more subtle.
Fr. Paolo M. Siano, referring to Cardinal Palazzini’s statement.
Ratzinger Fights Back
Cardinal Ratzinger, obviously unhappy with the outcome, released his “Declaration on Catholic Membership in Masonic Associations” in 1983. Ratzinger explains that the omission of specific mention of Freemasonry in the 1983 Code was due to “editorial criteria” and goes on to reiterate the Church’s long-held view:
Therefore the Church’s negative judgment in regard to Masonic association remains unchanged since their principles have always been considered irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Church and therefore membership in them remains forbidden. The faithful who enrol in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion.
The Subsequent “Commentary”
A Commentary on the Code of Canon Law was released in 1985 then republished in 2001. Both editions were edited by Monsignor Pio Vito Pinto, whose name curiously appeared on the famous Pecorilli’s List of Ecclesiastical Freemasons. Msgr Pinto went on to become Dean of the Roman Rota and is known to have expressed great outrage at the Dubia of the Four Cardinals against the heretical actions of Pope Francis.
Notably absent from the Commentary is any mention of the long-standing prohibition on Catholics being members of Freemasonry. Rather the Commentary mentions only Canon 1374, the Canon requiring a “just punishment” for members of any association which conspires against the Church. According to the Commentary, “it is not easy to apply canon 1374 unless the competent universal and local ecclesiastical authority clearly indicate which organizations fall under the authority of that canon…”
One can only wonder at the blindness of those clerics who failed to see that Freemasonry never lost its anti-Catholic agenda.

A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him saying, ‘You are mad, you are not like us.’ – St. Anthony the Hermit.
Thank God the mentally ill finally have a place to call their own. For decades, mentally ill Catholics struggled to find their place within the Church after the Second Vatican Council swept away all that was comforting and familiar to them, replacing it with a newness that many found disorienting.
Now that Pope Francis, the Papa of Psychology, has renewed his pronouncement that those attached to the traditional liturgy suffer from a kind of mental impairment, the news is sure to be met with gratitude by the thousands of traditional Catholics worldwide who operate under the delusion that the Novus Ordo Missae isn’t able to provide the nourishment their minds and souls require.
Pope Francis might lack the qualifications the secular world finds necessary to diagnose mental competence, but that hasn’t stopped him from going to the peripheries of Catholicism to dig out anyone displaying symptoms of Tradition.

His simple method of evaluating the precise mental illness based on just three criteria means a diagnosis comes quickly and easily, because fortunately, every single traditional Catholic suffers from exactly the same condition!
The Pope outlined his ground-breaking method in his recently-released third papal auto-biography, which like the others, he didn’t actually write. Here it is in simplified form so that anyone can use the Pope’s method on their family and friends.
Just answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the three questions below to find out if you are one of those ‘special’ Catholics who suffer from a mental illness.
NB: it should be noted that encouraging/discouraging others from taking part in these activities leads to the same score.
Pope Francis’ Simple Guide to Diagnosing Mental Illness 1
Do you wear lace vestments? Y/N
Do you attend the Traditional Latin Mass? Y/N
Do you breed like a rabbit? Y/N
With the Pope’s new method, the days of careful, time-consuming analysis are over: gone are the days of making tedious physical checkups and taking expensive lab tests to check for chemical imbalances.
This innovative method, from the same ideology that brought you ecumenism and synodality, is sure to revolutionise the mental health industry as well as clear out the detritus from the pews. It’s faster than a RAT-test and far more fun. If you make a mistake, just find a sympathetic confessor and you’re good to go again. It’s that easy.
The best news is that if you want to be cured of your mental illness, there are many great programmes being offered by the Synodal Church to help you get back into the Post-Conciliar groove!

You may remember an article I wrote recently on the occult’s fake St. Michael the Archangel. (It’s here if you happened to miss that one.)
This week, I’ve written a follow-up article explaining how devotion to that fake angel that plays out in the real world: it examines the 2022 massacre at Wieambilla in Queensland. That tragedy had many hallmarks of occult involvement, culminating in a very public reference to ‘St. Michael’.
My article is speculative, of course. It looks at the facts and evaluates them from the perspective of a psychological operation; it is not meant in any way to sully the memory of those who died that day.
If any Queensland readers know details of this event which aren’t common knowledge, then please pass them on via email.
For anyone interested in learning a little more about MK Ultra experiments in Australia, this mainstream news article from a few years ago is quite enlightening.

“We wish it to be your rule first of all to tear away the mask from Freemasonry, and to let it be seen as it really is.” – Leo XIII, HUMANUM GENUS.
In a previous article, we looked at how the occult world reveres a false ‘St. Michael’, ascribing powers and roles to him which are at odds with (Catholic) reality. This article looks at how devotion to the false ‘St. Michael’ may have been the basis of a tragic series of events which took place in Australia several years ago. The incident has the hallmarks of a government-created psychological operation, possibly including mind-control and which was crowned by a dedication to what was undoubtedly the occult ‘St. Michael.’
The Wieambilla Saga
In December, 2022, at the height of the coronavirus hysteria, a deadly siege took place in country Queensland. This event was unusual for Australia as it ended with the deaths of six people: three property-owners, branded as the attackers; their neighbour; and two young police officers. As details emerged in the mainstream media, the property-owners were revealed to be ‘anti-vax conspiracy theorists’ who had meticulously planned the police officers’ execution.
Four police officers had gone the remote property in Wieambilla, west of Brisbane, to search for a certain Nathaniel Train, who had been reported as missing in New South Wales several months prior to the shooting.
When the police arrived at the property, they were ambushed by three civilians and sprayed with gunfire; two officers died almost immediately and a neighbour who had come to investigate a burning vehicle was also shot dead. One police officer was wounded, and the fourth, a woman, escaped and raised the alarm.
This was followed by a six-hour siege during which sixteen special operations police made numerous attempts to neutralise the trio. Late that night, they succeeded in killing the three civilians.
The slain attackers were two brothers as well as the wife of one brother who had previously been married to the other. The three were said to have been influenced by an American You-tuber named Donald Day who was later arrested. Day was known for his survivalist mentality and expectation of an imminent Second Coming. The Trains fully expected that they could at any time be raided by police and have to defend their property. They nicknamed their front gate as the “Rubicon” and Nathaniel Train had indicated he expected to die from “suicide by police.”
Police incompetence
It was later revealed that Nathaniel Train had made multiple threats via email of violence against any police who presented at the property and that there was a warrant out for his arrest on firearm charges. Yet despite this, the New South Wales police failed to alert their Queensland counterparts of the potential danger posed by the Trains.
For their part, Queensland police failed to connect an arms cache perviously found in a nearby creek with the Trains. The Superiors also sent inexperienced officers, like lambs to the slaughter, to conduct a welfare check which ended in their deaths.
Mind Control?
As the public learns more and more about the prevalence of government-instigated mind-control, it is becoming increasingly reasonable to suspect that this is a factor in high-profile events like the Wieambilla massacre. Some of the clues to look in a case of mind-control for include: accusations of mental illness; indications of sexual and other abuse; indications of programming and ‘handlers’; changes in personality. The Wieambilla event meets those criteria.
An expert witness at the inquest, forensic psychiatrist Andrew Aboud, claimed that the trio suffered from a rare psychiatric disorder known as ‘shared delusions’ and that they may not be morally culpable for their actions.
The coroner reported on a conversation between the three, which had apparently been recorded in a hospital, in which Nathaniel said “he had dreams about fighting police and shooting them to get through COVID-19 border closures.” Putting aside the question of how such a recording was made, and by whom, it is possible that what Nathaniel believed to be a dream was a suggestion or order with which he had been programmed.
It must also be admitted that what we think about during the daytime often recurs in our dreams, and the Trains obviously spent a great deal of time considering and planning for such a situation.
An accusation of sexual abuse by Nathaniel Train against his parents was made not long before the massacre. This accusation was revealed by a childhood friend of Nathaniel’s, who happened to be a researcher for a media outlet, some six months after the killings. This source also claimed that Nathaniel’s actions did not fit with his personality.
The following detail, revealed at the inquest, gives further credence to the influence of mind-control, suggesting that a phone may have been used as a trigger or to give instructions and that the Trains in some way rebelled against their handlers.
On top of the gate that the four junior police jumped over, 120 metres away from the spot where they were fired at by the hidden shooters, one of the Trains had glued a mug, a photo provided to the inquest showed. It was emblazoned with the phrase: “Have a nice day”. Inside the mug was a smashed iPhone with a single word scrawled across it in scratchy handwriting: “FUCKWITS”.
If this was not related to any form of mind-control, then what could it mean? It seems like a very deliberate action without an obvious meaning.
Then there is the footage from the slain female police officer, said to have been taken just before she was killed by Nathaniel Train. Some say Train looks as though he is enjoying the prospect of killing; to me, it looks as though his face shows concern.

“Conspiracy Theorists”
Nathaniel Train had been a public school principal. who had left his job over ‘concerns over the school’s education policy’. He had apparently suffered a heart attack while working at the school and while it isn’t clear if he actually took the COVID vaccine, part of his grievance seems to have been related to the school’s mandatory vax policy.
After the inquest, in August 2024, the media began to describe the Trains as religious extremists, and conspiracy theorists who rejected the COVID vaccine. One report mentions:
“…. anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown narratives, climate engineering and Sovereign Citizen conspiracies, conspiracies about microchips, the New World Order and Great Reset, the Illuminati, antisemitic conspiracy theories and more. Gun control conspiracy theories appear to feature heavily, as will be discussed further below. It does not appear that he was a believer in QAnon, however, referring to it as a ‘psyop’ in a post in January 2021.”
Several media reports mentioned that the Trains’ worldview included being ‘caught in a battle between good and evil’, and as pointed out in the article on the fake St. Michael, occultists ascribe a vital role to their false angel in this cosmic battle:
“The pavement (of the Lodge), alternatively black and white, symbolizes the Good and Evil principles of the Egyptian and Persian creeds. It is the warfare between Michael and Satan, Light and Darkness, Freedom and Despotism, Religious Liberty and the Arbitrary Dogmas of a Church that thinks for its votaries and whose Pontiff claims to be infallible.”
Albert Pike
Occult References
A careful reading of media reports gleans several occult references; for example, the ABC honed in on this New Age reference to the ‘blue angel.’ According to this source, the coloured light ray which New Agers associate with the angel St. Michael is blue.
A floral tribute to the dead police officers, describing them as ‘blue angels.’
Another report stated that the police now regard the shooting scene as ‘sacred ground’ and that the Police Union was considering buying the property. This is an extraordinary statement, as no such comment was made when other officers – some 800 in Australia’s history – were killed in the line of duty.
Bodycam footage from the police yielded some images of interest to our study. One example is this tattoo of planets on a police officer’s arm.
Some occult systems assign one of the seven Archangels to each planet (the ancients believed seven planets revolved around the earth, including the sun and moon. ‘St. Michael’s’ planets are the sun and Mars.)
The date of the massacre was December 12, 2022; that is 12/12/2022. The number 12 is sacred in many occult systems, including astrology and alchemy, while the number 2 represents the idea of duality so prevalent in the occult. Note also that the digits themselves add up to 12: 1+2+1+2+2+0+2+2 = 12.
It is worth noting that in addition to the significant numbers involved in this case, colours also made an appearance. A report from August ’24 explained how the police assigned colours to the property during their operation.
Media reported that the Police Special Emergency Response Team (SERT) assigned colours to the property during the mission.
The photograph above shows the colours red, white, black, green. While one could never be sure of their meaning it’s possible to hazard a guess using explanations from the occultist, Manly Hall. Thus, green represents nature; black represents death – which must come before transformation takes place; white, red (and yellow) are “the three principal colours of the alchemical, Hermetical, universal medicine after the blackness of its putrefaction is over.”1
The Trains were killed on the ‘red’ side of the house.
The False St. Michael
The culmination of the initial media barrage surrounding the Wieambilla incident was a police press conference at which the Queensland Police Minister, Mark Ryan, faced the media and prayed the St. Michael prayer. Ryan’s recitation of the prayer was seen by many as the sincere effort of a faithful Catholic to bring solace to a grieving police force; he referred to St. Michael as their patron saint.
The strange thing is that there’s little evidence Mark Ryan is in fact a faithful Catholic. In 2018, he voted to decriminalise abortion in his state of Queensland and reiterated his support for abortion prior to last year’s state election. In 2020, Ryan was behind a law forcing priests to break the seal of confession. So given his shaky Catholic credentials and the red flags flying over anything related to the Wieambilla murders, it is far more likely that Mark Ryan was referencing the fake St. Michael when he addressed the people of Queensland.
Conclusion
While we may not have a clear understanding of the hidden meaning behind the siege and murders, on the natural level it is easy to see elements of the government’s agenda playing out in the wake of the incident. That agenda includes restriction the gun ownership, vilifying anyone who questions the vax, accusing Christians of religious extremism, and the authorities’ sacred cow – censorship.
In light of recent attempts in Australia to censor the internet, particularly social media, a comment from one expert witness at the inquest is highly significant: “Associate prof Josh Roose of Deakin University raised another theory – “algorithmic radicalisation”, a process where a social media algorithm is programmed to radicalise a viewer by showing them increasingly extreme material.” from The Guardian.
Thus the principle becomes clear – when all else fails, blame the algorithm.
