Art of War

Trad. Inc. & the Art of War

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

It seems ironic that the same voices that condemn collegiality among the bishops are insisting traditionalist Catholics unite under a milquetoast banner of love, in an effort to secure their Latin Masses. This tactic is flawed and will lead, in some cases, to the most tragic of consequences that can befall a Christian: the loss of his eternal soul.

Much of the current appeal to unity is based in emotion and not reason; there is little substance in the arguments which are often ad hominem (“You’re all sedes!” or “You hide behind your avatars!”) or straw men (“You say the Mass doesn’t matter!”)

Yet the most obvious weakness is the appeal to an obsolete tactic: that of tolerance in the face of an extremely devious enemy. While it may be argued that it was this approach which led to the widespread availability of the traditional Latin Mass under Pope Benedict’s Summorum Pontificum (I would posit that it did not), relying on previously-used tactics for their own sake is a great weakness for anyone engaged in a war.

The ancient military strategist, Sun Tzu, set out his approach to defeating an enemy in his treatise, The Art of War and warned against re-using a previous tactic because it worked in the past.

His advice to military commenders has been relied upon for centuries. He wrote:

Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.

Military tactics are like unto water; for water in its natural course runs away from high places and hastens downwards. So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.

He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born captain.

Sun Tzu – On the Art of War, #28-31

Reassess Tactics

Sun Tzu wrote these words more than 2500 years ago and they still ring true. “Let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.” Applying this to the current crisis in the Church, we could say that during the pontificate of Pope Francis, many conservative, but Modernist prelates began to wake up to the fact that there was, in fact, a crisis and that Bergoglio was not its cause, but merely its symptom. That process, sometimes slow but at other times more rapid, of realising that something devastating happened at the Second Vatican Council was evident, as these good men began to piece together the pattern of revolutionary infiltration and indoctrination which led the Church to the sad state in which She finds Herself today.

Sun Tzu

Now that we have another Pope spouting the same heresies and errors, albeit in a more smooth and sophisticated manner, it is simply not reasonable to give the conservative Novus Ordo prelates ane more time, allowing them to gradually come to the conclusion that is evident to those with eyes to see: this is the time to declare strongly, clearly and without equivocation, the fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church.

This is the time to boldly draw attention to the errors being taught by Pope Prevost and his Synodal mouthpieces with calm and simplicity.

Avoid the strong

Sun Tzu recommended that strategists “avoid what is strong and strike at what is weak.” In the case at hand, what is “strong” is the Pope’s popularity, a perceived belief that the Church is back on track and, it must be said, the universal relief that Pope Francis is dead. Thus in order to avoid “what is strong”, conservative prelates should be maintaining the state of high alert which existed under Bergoglio, exposing the reality that the Church is still in grave danger, that souls are threatened and that aesthetics do not compensate for heterdox teaching.

This obligation extends to those traditionalist commentators who, having accepted the strategy of appeasement as laid out by Cardinal Burke, are now refusing to call out Pope Leo for his errors and have taken to chastising those who do have the fortitude to expose him.

When we add our approval of the new Pope’s actions and words to that already given by the mainstream Church and the world at large, we only magnify the errors and soothe guilty consciences, putting souls at risk of eternal damnation.

Attack the weakness

The tactic of attacking an opponent’s weakness is so obvious that it should require no explanation, yet this is precisely what the group we have come to know as “Trad. Inc.” has decided to avoid doing.

The great weakness of Pope Prevost is that he is literally speaking heresy. When he says that “we have to change attitudes before we even think about changing what the Church says about any given question”, this needs to be called out as heresy.

When he says that it is “highly unlikely” rather than impossible, that doctrine on sexuality will change, this needs to be called out as heresy.

No amount of incense, lace or Latin can make up for errors like these. (For an excellent appraisal of the Pope’s disastrous Crux interview, see this video by The Catholic Esquire.)

Swallowing the Bait

Many are overjoyed that Cardinal Burke is to offer a Latin Mass in St. Peter’s during the upcoming Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage. We are told that this is a sign that God has not abandoned His Church (But who says that He has? The neo-counter-revolutionaries certainly do not.) This permission is somehow seen as a gift, an olive branch being held out to traditionalists by the new Pope, as a sign of his good will.

But what has Sun Tzu to say about such a thing? He suggests caution unless the intentions of the enemy are known.

We cannot enter into alliances until we are acquainted with the designs of our neighbours. Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy.

    Sun Tzu – On the Art of War, #32-33

    The permission given for the Latin Mass does indeed have the appearance of bait intended to harm the traditionalist movement and it is not only “anonymous podcasters” suggesting there is a problem. Respected priests like Fr. Isaac Mary Relyea and Fr. Murr have also expressed their disappointment and fears about the Mass. Fr. Murr even said that St. Peter’s needs to be re-consecrated due to the Pachamama incident, this need being compounded by the more recent appearance of a sodomite pilgrimage group within its walls. (Alas, I have lost the reference video for this comment by Fr. Murr. The link will be added when I track it down.)

    Pope Francis with the Pachamama idol in St. Peter’s Basilica

    The ancient Roman poet, Virgil, had his own warning for cases like this one: “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts”. This was a reference to the Trojan Horse, a Grecian gift to the ancient city of Troy, which was filled with soldiers who then infiltrated and utterly destroyed the city and its inhabitants.

    It’s worth pointing out that the term, “Greek love”, was used as a euphemism for sodomy by Classical scholars, which brings us back to one of the major themes of this pontificate and a red flag for anyone wishing to make peace with it: homosexuality. Pope Leo’s appointments and those of Pope Francis which Prevost has left in place are an ongoing source of scandal to the faithful.

    St. Paul points out exactly what should be our attitude to sodomites and those who tolerate them or condone their sin:

    “For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? (2 Cor 6: 14-16)

    Scripture would seem to preclude offering Mass in a Church which has been defiled by pagan worship and a depraved, sacrilegious pilgrimage. It only adds to the scandal for Cardinal Burke and the Summorum Pontificum organisers to offer a TLM under such circumstances, yet we are told this is a sign that we are “winning”.

    Ignorance of the enemy leads to a defeat

    Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

    Sun Tzu – On the Art of War, #34

    There is no question that, at some point in the future, the Church will rise again and our enemies will be thwarted. It shows a lack of faith in Our Lady’s promise of Her Triumph to believe otherwise. Yet until that day comes, the Church Militant will continue to suffer and will, most probably, experience an escalation in suffering and persecution, which only by the grace of God, we will be able to endure. This could be thought of the way that Catholics “know themselves.”

    To say that the rallying of Traditionalist troops around a well-meaning, but Modernist, prelate like Cardinal Burke is a sign of the coming Restoration is not only delusional, but it is dangerous. Failing to point out Leo’s errors endangers souls – perhaps not the souls of Traditionalists who are better catechised, but the souls of those countless Novus Ordo catholics – the “normies”, who trust in the pope and uncritically accept what he teaches.

    Narcissistic revolutionaries thrive on the tolerance produced by misplaced charity. The silence of Trad. Inc. is a fruit of “knowing oneself but not knowing the enemy.” According to the philosophy of Sun Tzu, such a situation leads to a defeat for every victory.

    It may well be that those aligned with Burke will see their Masses protected or restored, but the price of this “victory” could be enormous. Doubtful Catholics who once had the opportunity to be challenged by the Resistance movement, who were provoked to investigate Vatican II and its errors and to question mainstream Catholic narratives, are now being confirmed in their sin by the silence of Trad. Inc.

    It is not only sodomites who are at risk of this: when we consider that most Catholics today live in habitual mortal sin via the use of contraception, failing to confess honestly, making sacrilegious Communions, denying dogma such as the Real Presence and extra ecclesiam nulla salus, it offends against charity to allow them to believe that doctrine can change.

    Silence is tantamount to saying “to hell with the rest of the Catholic world as long as we have our Masses.” That is the defeat which will be the cost of any perceived victory: a rejection of supernatural charity which will lead to the widespread loss of souls.

    Zipping it – for the Greater Good

    Published on by Kathy Clubb1 Comment

    Ah, the Greater Good.

    It’s a little like the Golden Rule (Those who have the Gold Make the Rules) except that in this case, those who think they are greater get to decide what is good.

    For when traditional Catholic commentators were told to “zip it” rather than criticise the current papal aberrations, the “good ” involved was not the good of the Church nor was it the salvation of souls. Rather, the apparent “good”, decided by the “greater” ones, was their attempt to secure for themselves their Latin Masses. This, it seems, would be in return for a very small fee: keeping quiet about Leo and his papacy’s remarkable similarity to that of Bergoglio.

    The Greater Good must be contrasted with the Common Good, which is actually the Catholic position.

    Whereas the Common Good must take the needs of everyone into account, the Greater Good always involves the sacrifice of some for the sake of the whole. This principle is never more consequential than in the matter of salvation, where every individual’s soul needs to be considered.

    For to remain silent when Pope Leo unashamedly continues the agenda of Bergoglio and his conciliar and post-conciliar predecessors does put souls at risk – of despair, of error and of deception.

    One is reminded of the words of Our Lady of Buen Suceso of the Purification at Quito, Ecuador, where she said several times that ” that one who should speak will fall silent”.

    If “the one”, presumably the Pope, falls silent then it is not surprising that other Catholics who should speak out would also follow suit. That is, those traditional Catholic commentators who were so quick to point out Bergoglio’s errors and who did so much good in alerting the faithful during his reign, fell silent when it came to Prevost.

    Thankfully, it does appear that the ‘zip it” crowd already have egg on their faces and that some, at least, have begun to rethink their ill-fated strategy.

    One commentator, notorious for his self-promotion, has already backtracked somewhat. This is the same man who made a video prior to the conclave in which he said that the election of Prevost would be the worst possible scenario for the Church. After the conclave, he scrubbed that video and refused to call our Pope Leo’s errors. (Thanks to Novus Ordo Watch, the original video can be found here.)

    It should be mentioned that this backtracking coincided with the release of his latest book which he unashamedly promoted during his first foray into criticism of the new Pope. Perhaps he realised that the book’s target audience included those Catholics who are feeling dazed and confused by the traditionalists’ Zip-It policy.

    Another Zip-it proponent has also begun to loosen his lips to allow some initial criticism of the shameful desecration of St. Peter’s during the James Martin crowd’s pilgrimage. Yet another has put out a strident blogpost, explaining that this LGBT pilgrimage crossed his bright line, allowing criticism to spring forth from his keyboard. We are assured that his wait-and-see policy was born, ever so ‘umbly, out of charity alone.

    Don’t forget, these are the men who until now, gave Leo a pass when the red flags first began flying. They remained quiet when footage emerged of a talk he gave, praising the evil Cardinal Bernadin. Likewise, when Leo de facto canonised Bergoglio, the most prominent traditionalist commentators had nothing to say. The pagan Mass for Creation? Silence. Scandalous appointments? Crickets.

    If the Great Unzipping really has taken place, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the likes of Chris Jackson, Steven Kokx and The Catholic Esquire. They have done the heavy lifting during this wait-and-see phase of the new papacy, unflinchingly calling it as they have seen it, rather than kowtowing to the compromise directive issued, as has become all too clear, from the doyen of Trad-dom, Cardinal Burke.

    For it is difficult to draw any other conclusion than this: that Burke was the middle-man in a mutually beneficial transaction between wealthy traditionalists and Modernist Rome.

    Consider: a group of rich, traditionalist Catholics pulled their purse-strings closed under Bergoglio, thereby making a significant impact on the Vatican’s bottom line. Remember, Rome is in a quite desperate financial situation these days.

    Those same wealthy Catholics had been suffering under Bergoglio. His outrageous behaviour caused them a loss of prestige and influence as they were no longer ‘in’ with the papacy, in the same way they had been under John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

    In order to restore their reputations as the Catholic elite, it would be necessary to find a new Pope who matched their sensibilities – of aesthetics, anyway. Doctrine doesn’t matter when one has a private chapel with any number of cancelled priests willing to provide bespoke Latin Masses.

    And so a deal was struck: in return for the flow of money to Rome, the mild-mannered Prevost would have to be elected. He looked the part and fluently spoke the correct languages: English and Latin. It would fall to Cardinal Burke to do the lobbying prior to the conclave.

    If all this seems a bit far-fetched, it should be remembered that Steve Bannon said from the beginning that the conclave was “rigged”.

    Additionally, some months ago, Anthony Stine, on Return to Tradition, cited an article from a big legacy media outlet in the US, which revealed that a secret meeting took place in Rome prior to the conclave. It was apparently attended by wealthy Italian and American Catholics who promised to send money to the Vatican if an American was elected Pope.

    Remember also that the Italian news outlet, Corriere della Sera, confidently reported that Prevost was seen entering Cardinal Burke’s apartment on April 30 for ‘a top-secret summit’, even though this was strenuously denied by reliable reporters like Diane Montagna and Ed Pentin.

    From whom is it likely that Montagna and Pentin receive their Vatican-insider information? Could it be from Cardinal Burke himself? Is it possible that the journalists were set up – no doubt for the Greater Good?

    From where did Montagna receive the results of the bishops survey that shows Bergoglio had lied about the Latin Mass being unpopular with the hierarchy? Could those documents not have been leaked by Cardinal Burke himself?

    Why did they not come out during Bergoglio’s reign? It was certainly possible to have arranged it.

    Was it because such a revelation would have only hardened Bergoglio’s heart against the traditional Mass? Leaked under Prevost, however, the latter would potentially have the opportunity to play the Good Guy and rescind Traditiones Custodes, or at least, not bother to see it enforced.

    Where does the so-called Trad Inc. fit into the picture? Well, if they want their Masses secured, and hopefully Traditiones Custodes rescinded, they would have to toe the line. No more criticism of Rome, no more bad press for the Pope. The rest of Christendom would then have to take its chances with the mish-mash of heresy, sodo-liturgies and Modernism going on outside the small enclaves of tradition. This would appease the Catholic elite by making the papacy look reasonable once more and start the coffers flowing to Rome.

    Rome would have its income restored; the wealthy Catholics would have their prestige restored; Trad Inc. would have its Masses restored. At least, that was the plan, with Cardinal Burke as the lynch-pin. He was to be truly cardinalis. (Latin for ‘pivotal’).

    There were two sticking points in this plot – other than whatever small murmurings came from the consciences of those involved. One is the yearning for truth that exists in the soul of every person of good will; the other is the fact that silence in the face of outrage has a limit.

    Many traditional Catholics knew that this silence was unnatural and so sought their news from the few honest reporters, like those mentioned above. And this website, although very small, should be included among those who has tried to expose Pope Leo’s agenda from Day 1. (eg here.)

    Now that Trad Inc’s floodgates of histrionics appear ready to open, releasing a barrage of complaints against Pope Leo onto the faithful, we should all be cautious as we begin again to consume their commentary. For they abandoned faithful Catholics in a time of need, no less than the shepherds whom they like to so roundly denounce as having abandoned the faithful.

    The public’s trust in Trad. Inc. has been severely eroded and without a clear apology, the damage may be irreparable.

    Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us.

    Prevost: Making Modernism Palatable

    Published on by Kathy Clubb1 Comment

    As Pope Leo’s papacy progresses, his role in advancing the Revolution is becoming clearer: make Modernism more palatable by gently “developing” his predecessor’s radical and destructive anti-Catholic doctrine. This is an opinion echoed by Atila Sinke Guimarães from Tradition in Action. He writes:

    …. what the Conciliar Church needs now, more than anything else, is to have a long period to digest the progressivist “conquests” that Francis won for it. The aim is not to deny what he did. It is to “reinterpret” it under a more moderate light in order to make the average Catholic assimilate his legacy in small and less repulsive doses.

    This attempt at reinterpretation is precisely what we are seeing from conservative Catholic circles – despite Bergoglian loyalists assuring us that Prevost is cut from the same cloth as Pope Francis. For example, there is an attempt to promote “Pope Leo’s version” of Liberation Theology, which is supposedly less extreme than the original version. Then there was the case of the conservative Catholic publication from Melbourne that wrote of its hopes to see the new Pope’s “interpretation of the application” of Synodality.

    These are the hopes and dreams of naive Catholics who fail to understand the scope of the Crisis and the momentum it has gained: Prevost is not the Pope who is going to save the Church, any more than Trump was the politician “chosen by God” to save the free world.

    Critical Reading of Scripture

    Despite his smiling photo-ops and calm demeanour, Pope Leo has shown on more than one occasion that he is intent on applying critical theory to the Word of God. This includes playing down Christ’s miracles, by suggesting that the deaf-mute of the Gospels chose not to speak. “Just as it can sometimes happen to us, perhaps this man chose not to speak anymore because he did not feel understood; he chose to shut off every voice because he had been disappointed and wounded by what he had heard.”

    This is a followup to previous occasion when Prevost suggested that the miracle of the loaves and fishes wasn’t so much about the sovereign power of God as it was about natural charity:

    “However, when we read the account of what is commonly called the “multiplication of the loaves” (cf. Mt 14:13-21; Mk 6:30-44; Lk 9:12-17; Jn 6:1-13), we realize that the real miracle performed by Christ was to show that the key to overcoming hunger lies in sharing rather than in greedily hoarding. 

    False Ecumenism

    Prevost has shown his tolerance for the errors of non-Catholics on many occasions since his election. Possibly the most concerning of these meetings was with representatives of the Eastern Orthodox church, which some Catholics hope will soon reconcile with Rome.

    Yet, as pointed out by the WM Review, unless the Eastern orthodox church recognises the primacy of the Roman Pontiff, such a reconciliation can only take place if the Catholic Church embraces error. Specifically, these errors comprise the “redefinition of the Church’s property/note of unity, redefinition of the supernatural virtue of faith, redefinition of the nature of the papacy and constitution of the Church.”

    Prevost’s record on clerical sex abuse

    The new Pope’s tolerance of clerical sex abuse is another marker which confirms that, morally, he is little different from Bergoglio. An article from May in the Chicago Sun Times points to Prevost’s role as a prominent leader within the Augustinians and suggests that he helped cover for an alleged clerical sex offender. In the article, Prevost is accused of “perceived inaction on improving transparency in his order over sex abuse.”

    More than that, the article points to a previous one from the same news outlet that claims “while he was in charge of the Augustinians in Chicago in 2000, allowed an accused pedophile priest to live at a South Side monastery without telling a nearby Catholic elementary school the man was there. Indeed, church records assert there was no school nearby when there was.”

    There are other abuse-adjacent claims by the website against Prevost: none of them directly accuse him of abuse, but rather, point to a repeated lack of transparency and accountability.

    This leads to another point that should have been raising red flags from the beginning of Prevost’s pontificate: why has the media been so quiet? As a whole, mainstream generally can’t move quickly enough to cover a story with even the faintest scent of a cover-up of abuse by Catholic priests. Yet Prevost’s role in a number of these affairs has largely been ignored until now.

    This case, now back in the news, was known prior to Prevost’s election as Pope, yet until now received little media coverage. The details of this case are conflicting and even sketchy, yet that has never proven to be an obstacle for the media, who in Pope Leo’s case, continually assume his innocence.

    Then there is this case, where the Pope is allowing Cardinal Carlos Castillo of Peru to remain in his position past retirement date, despite his track record of covering for sodomites in his seminary. As has been mentioned in these pages before, Prevost, as former head of the Dicastery for Bishops, knows all there is to know about the hierarchy, yet continues to promote or tolerate anti-Catholic prelates.

    Jubilee of Youth

    The Jubilee of Young People, which has just taken place in Rome, is the perfect of example of the way Pope Leo is continuing the Modernist agenda of the previous Popes under the appearance of orthodoxy. Catholic media hailed the Pope’s presence at Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, attended by up to a million young Catholics, as an indicator of the Church’s return to its glorious past.

    Yet all conciliar and post-conciliar popes have led liturgies like this one. Images of all of them holding monstrances can be found online: all of them had moments of giving the appearance of a truly holy Pope, despite their many deviations from tradition on other occasions.

    Without being too cynical, the question should be asked: what young Catholic would not want to attend an event like this one – a holiday in Rome, usually subsidised by the Archdiocese or family and friends, full of emotional experiences but without any substantial impetus for conversion to a holy life?

    The truth is that large gatherings are the norm at events like this one, and that huge numbers for objectively excellent practices like Adoration and confession, while giving the appearance of a wholesome Catholic atmosphere, are not themselves indicators of a Catholic revival.

    This is evidenced by the Jubilee meeting for Catholic “influencers”, most of whom attended the Holy Sacrifice of Mass in t-shirts and shorts. Despite being extolled as representatives for Catholicism, the majority of these “influencers” were not event aware of how to pray the Pater Noster in Latin.

    Along with the trappings of tradition at the official events, Modernist novelties could also be found; novelties that undermined the reverence and decorum necessary for flourishing of true piety. There was the ubiquitous rock concert in St. Peter’s Square, which some thought was perfectly fine because the altar had been removed.

    Then there was the strange group of ‘Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist’: they looked for all the world like neo-pagan priestesses, yet they distributed the Sacred Species at the Pope’s Mass. SOURCE

    Events included a liturgical dance-show in front of the altar in the piazza near St. Peter’s. The group danced to Scripture being read in Italian by a woman. While their dress is quite modest by today’s (admittedly very low) standards, it does not reach the higher standards expected by anyone taking part in any form of liturgy. That is not to suggest that liturgical dance can ever be anything other than an embarrassing and inappropriate display of post-conciliar emotionalism.

    Perhaps Leo’s papacy can be summed up in the image of Luce, which remains omnipresent throughout the Eternal City.

    What appears to be Catholic, and even quaintly so, is in reality something sinister and dangerous to souls.

    Like Luce, the Jubilee mascot with ties to the occult, and which was created by an artist who is a promoter of LGBTI rights (and a sex-toy vendor), the Vatican may seem newly orthodox, returning to tradition and appealing to young people.

    Yet, the truth is that underneath the lace and Latin lies a cesspool of corruption and heresy, sodomy and vice, and that Prevost is the man of the hour, handpicked by the most corrupt men of all, to make Modernism palatable to unwitting Catholics. Please, dear friends, read the signs of the times and don’t be taken in by this latest Modernist deception.

    Gay Priestess on Sanctuary during Catholic Mass

    Pagan Idol Diocese allows Mass with Lesbian Priestess

    Published on by Kathy Clubb1 Comment

    Last week in the country town of Myrtleford, two Anglican women, one of whom is a gay Anglican ‘priestess’ joined the Catholic priest in the sanctuary during a public Novus Ordo Mass.

    The Mass, part of the town’s annual Italian Festival, was offered in the grounds of St. Mary’s Church on a temporary stage and was dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. When asked by a stunned attendee why the priestesses were near the altar during Mass, a local (who happened to be an ex-nun) stated that “we do everything together here in Myrtleford”!

    Taken from the Festival website.

    The eye-witness, a faithful Catholic, was shocked to see the two women consuming the Sacred Host, despite belonging to the Anglican faith. Although neither woman played an active role in the Mass, the ‘priestess’ was given a chalice to hold while Holy Communion was being distributed. She also addressed the crowd after Mass was finished.

    According to the eye-witness, “One of them was trying to touch everything and finally got her hands on the incense. The priest cursed before reading the Gospel. He said “mannaggia miseria!” (This means ‘damn it’ in Italian).

    Close-up of the Anglican priestess with the chalice.

    The ‘priestess’ is Moira Evers, a known lesbian and LGBTQ activist. In an article posted when she was appointed parish priestess in Myrtleford, Evers said she wanted people to ‘see the church as a place of safety.’

    Evers is controversial even within the Anglican church because of her involvement with a same-sex advocacy group who expressed support for a Satanic Mass. There are also reports of members of her former congregation at Buderim leaving the parish because of her pro-LGBTQ stance.

    The parish priest of St. Mary’s Catholic Church is Fr. Tony Shallue. There seems little hope of him being disciplined over the liturgical abuse as St. Mary’s is located in the Diocese of Sandhurst, which is overseen by Bishop Shane Mackinley. This is the same bishop who is notoriously allowing a three-month exhibition of a pagan idol related to witchcraft to remain in Bendigo’s Sacred Heart Cathedral, despite massive pushback from Catholic clergy and the faithful.

    Bergoglio's Pontifical Balance Sheet

    Bergoglio’s Pontifical Balance Sheet

    Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

    This article comes from Stilum Curiae and was written by Professor Bernardino Montejano of Buenos Aires. It has been translated using an online translation tool.

    CHURCH IN EXIT OR IN LIQUIDATION?

    Pope Francis speaks with joy of the outgoing Church “; For me, in European countries such as Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, we are faced with a Church ” in liquidation “. And for all the naive and the gullible there are some figures, because if mathematics has a virtue, it is precision.

    Today, in the land of Luther, the great heretic, honored today in the Vatican, 27% of Germans trust the Protestant Church, while only ’ 11% trust the Catholic Church, but it is worth noting that in 2017 the percentage of those who trusted the former was 48%, that is, in a few years the drop is 21%. As for Catholics, the percentage of those who trusted was 29% in 2017, in other words, the decrease is 18% in difficult auctions for those who lose more.

    It should be added that the Catholic Church has 900 thousand employees and that in recent years it has changed its working standards to accommodate LGBT employees, that is, homosexuals and lesbians. transsexuals and other herbs of the same suit

    At the same time, in 2016, 60% of Germans trusted and believed in Pope Francis; Today, after eight years of government, the percentage is 16%.

    A catastrophic decline in the path of synodality, along which many travel together, perhaps without realizing that it leads them to the abyss.

    But the Church is universal and resists self-demolition, invaded as Paul VI expressed by the smoke of Satan and resists and not only in Africa and Asia, but in Europe, America, Oceania.

    It resists vigorously in countries that have suffered under Soviet communism, in Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, Slovakia, for example.

    He resists in Holland with the great figure of Cardinal Eijk, in France where abbeys, monasteries and traditional convents and massive pilgrimages multiply, he resists less in Italy and Spain, but shows that the Vatican’s efforts to end the extraordinary rite of the Roman liturgy, they are useless and counterproductive, because they increase their diffusion.

    It resists in the United States, because the Vatican’s efforts to break the unity of its excellent episcopate, with scandalous appointments such as that of the archbishop of Chicago, Cardinal Cupich, his prayers at the democratic conference and his ridiculous requests to his parishioners to refrain from communion kneeling so as not to prevent the fluidity of the transit of those who communicate, he recently forced us to remind him of the importance of worship, as an external act of religion, the first of the moral virtues and the teaching of St. Thomas Aquinas on kneeling, because the good disposition of the body helps the elevation of the soul.

    He resists in Oceania, Australia, through the living example of Cardinal Pell and his virile and heroic behavior during his captivity, which recalls the great Vietnamese Francisco Javier Nguyen van Thuan.

    It resists in Africa, where entire episcopates have repudiated the blessing of homosexual couples and where priestly and religious ordinations multiply and seminaries overflow with postulants.

    It resists in Asia, despite the notorious handover of the Church to China by the Vatican to the Communist Party.

    In this regard, we are reading a very interesting book by Fr. Enrique Rau, “Racism and National Socialist Christianity ” (Gladium, Buenos Aires, 1939), who received the Nihil osbtat by father Julio Meinvielle. Soon we will analyze it with a methodology that will convince any honest Catholic: where Hitler appears, we will put the name of the tyrant of China and where racism appears we will put sinicization.

    But there is a big difference between Pius XII and sometimes even the deputies of the Chinese Communist Party.

    But despite the betrayal of Cardinal Parolin endorsed by Francis, the clandestine Church resists and its members face persecution, prison and imprisonment in re-educational fields, but refuse to replace the images of Christ and the Virgin Mary, with the portraits of the tyrant Xi- Jimping –

    The Church of Hong Kong resists, led by its great ninety-year-old cardinal Zen, who had to endure the mistreatment of Francis, who made him wait three years to receive him. How many comrades will he have received at that time of the Base Unit installed in the Vatican? Countless. Their low political gossip interests him and he likes them.

    On the other hand, the noble figure of the resistant cardinal annoys him.

    The Church of Vietnam resists in Asia, supported by the blood of its martyrs and by the exemplary figures of Cardinal van Thuan and his uncle, the martyred President Diem, with his crowded seminaries and numerous priestly ordinations, tolerated by the communist regime.

    I can’t talk about the Church of Brazil because I lack the data. But little resistance is noted in Argentina, with a servile and populous episcopate, politicized and led by rough prelates in Buenos Aires and La Plata, lovers of poverty and annexations. A Church in liquidation, with almost empty seminaries, which rent rooms to maintain themselves and few ordinations.

    According to AICA, there were seven diaconal ordinations this year, 3 in Buenos Aires, 2 in Santiago Rosario and 2 in Mendoza, where the new president of the episcopate “Palomo ” Colombo recommended to “love all without exclusions ”, except the priest Christian von Wernich, sentenced to perpetual imprisonment, his bishop

    At least I can attest to the priestly ordination because I attended the first mass of Santiago Ibarra on December 12 in the packed chapel of the Don Jaime school in Bella Vista.

    The new priest was ordained on December 7 in San Rafael, Mendoza, by the diocesan bishop, Carlos María Domínguez and belongs to the Institute of the Incarnate Word. Curious case of this Institute, born in Argentina and here in its country of origin, it is present only in San Rafael, Major Seminary, Minor Seminary, Novitiate and in the parish of San Massimiliano Kolbe, in La Plata, parish of Santa Rosa de Lima , in the Mercedes. Monastery of Nuestra Señora de Luján and Añatuya, Santiago del Estero, parishes of Suncho Corral and Los Juríes.

    The IVE, mistreated by the pontifical commissioners Santos and Abril, may be in Gaza, Ukraine, Syria, but cannot settle elsewhere in Argentina, perhaps for the fear of its bishops that it may breathe new life into a Church. in liquidation.

    Until the mentality of the group of bureaucrats and burini who today manage our church in liquidation changes, there is no future for this.

    But God can do the impossible. We ask him in these Christmas times for mercy for our Argentine Church.
