Let there be Luce

Let There Be Luce

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

The controversial anime-inspired ‘Luce’ is the official mascot for the 2025 Jubilee and was launched at a press conference on October 28 by Archbishop Rino Fisichella. Luce’s name is of course derived from the Latin lux, lucis, meaning ‘light’. From this comes such English words as ‘illuminate’, ‘luminous’, and ‘Lucifer’, as well as the Italian, illuminati. (This article from LifeSite gives a very thorough analysis of the name ‘Luce’ and its link with Enlightenment philosophy.)

The artist who created Luce was immediately exposed as being a promoter of LGBTI rights and a purveyor of fine sex-toys, leading to a collective sigh from controversy-fatigued traditional Catholics.

The first thing one notices when first looking at Luce – when one recovers from the visceral response to the sheer insult being given to God and to the Church’s tradition of exceptionally fine art – is the staff in the figure’s left hand. Although being promoted as a pilgrim’s staff, this is very reminiscent of a witch’s stang. The stang is a two-pronged tool made of wood, used by witches for spells and (apparently), for flight.

A stang was famously presented to Pope Francis during the 2018 Synod by a young woman wearing a red string around her wrist. The Pope later carried this stang instead of the usual crozier during Mass.

The Stang, pictured at left with crossed arrows, is the relatively modern name given to a witch’s staff. The word was first used by a male witch in the 1960’s but the tool itself is far older and can be found in ancient artwork as well as in various cultures.

Luce also features a Rosary without a corpus (so as not to offend the Protestants?) worn around its neck and shells in its eyes. Eyes are highly symbolic for occultists, and represent the gateway to inner knowledge. In the esoteric world, shells are said to represent new birth or transformation. At first glance, the eyes of Luce seem to be extremely sad and filled with tears – not a great look in these days of industrial-scale child abuse.

But Luce is only part of a collection of mysterious esoteric-themed artwork being promoted by the Vatican. Vatican News also announced that a bizarre painting will be displayed during the Jublilee. From artist Marc Chagall, the painting will be on loan from the Art Institute of Chicago. The artwork is called, “white Crucifixion’ and shows Jesus on the cross, wearing a Jewish prayer shawl called a tallit.

Chagall, a Jew, was apparently obsessed by Christ’s crucifixion and painted many works around this theme. Some of those showed Chagall’s own face in the figure on the cross. This is said to represent the persecution of Jews, especially during the Holocaust.

But there may be a more sinister interpretation of this: high-level satanists pursue something known as apotheosis, which is the state of ‘becoming a god’. I’ve previously mentioned a book by Kerth Barker, in which he mentions some satanists he knew who displayed statues and artwork which featured their own faces. This was because they wanted to be worshipped as gods. Chagall was perhaps attempting to do the same thing by replacing Christ’s face with his own. Chagall’s work was also featured in an occult art exhibition in Spain in 2023. So while none of this is conclusive evidence of Chagall’s ties to the occult, it is nevertheless interesting in light of the Vatican’s continued use of artwork from Rupnik and its ties to the very strange artist, Jago.

Vatican officials are also planning to use ‘Luce’ as a mascot at the 2025 World Expo to be held in Japan. Along with Luce, the Holy See’s pavilion will exhibit Caravaggio’s Deposition of Christ, shown at left. This may be another clue to the existence of Luce: Caravaggio is known as the ‘Master of Light‘ because of his use of the technique known as tenebrism – the dramatic contrast between dark and light areas – in his works. Caravaggio must be a favourite in the Curia, as he was most likely a bisexual who died at an early age, possibly from either syphilis or murder.

So with Luce, Chagall and Caravaggio, it’s just a case of ‘another day, another immoral role model’ as the Ape of the Church continues its slow grind towards total apostasy.

Australian Bishop are in the Synodal Way

Australian Bishops are in the Synodal Way

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

Even though they missed out on the red hat, three of Australia’s bishops remain happy to carry water for the Synod.

One of them is Shane Mackinlay, bishop of Sandhurst, who is representing the Bishops Conference at the Synod in Rome. According to McKinley, Fiducia Supplicans was a direct result of the Synod. He told a press conference that although the Pope didn’t act synodally by issuing the heretical document, that’s fine by him:

“As with many things Pope Francis has done in the last year, he did not wait for the final document. He has already responded to things that were raised in the discussions and in the final report last year.”

This is despite the Pope stating that he would absolutely not be making a decision on same-sex unions before the second Synod sessions.

According to Mackinlay, “Fiducia supplicans is a significant step forward … and then I think those of us from the West are not so surprised that in some other parts of the world it is received differently and has a different kind of priority.”

Yes, it is received differently because ‘in some parts of the world’ the Bishops are actually Catholic! Mackinlay is so popular in Rome that he was elected for the second time as the Oceania representative for the Commission for the Final Document of the Synod – quite the appointment.

Another Synod apparatchik is Archbishop Timothy Costelloe, no stranger to these pages. As Archbishop of Perth and president of the Australian Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Costelloe is completely onboard with the Synod’s agenda of re-imagining Catholicism. He couldn’t hide his enthusiasm for heterodox novelty when he told Vatican News that it was great to have priests, women, and lay people usurping to role of the Bishops by being given full voting rights instead of having a ‘back row seat’.

“It shows us the equality and unity of all. Unity is communion of mind and heart, of spirit and action, and of faith at the service of the Church’s evangelising mission.”

This ‘unity’ is nowhere to be found either at the Synod or outside of it, of course. The persecution of traditional Catholics and the clamouring voices of dissenters from the Faith are evidence of that.

Archbishop Costelloe also explained that the so-called ‘conversation in the spirit’ “serves to free oneself from prejudices. The Synod must convert us from a competitive approach to a spirit of listening because in this way it will be of real and effective help to the Pope.”

He posed a few more rhetorical questions: “Should the Synod office be restructured in favour of the local Churches? If so, how? And could the reports become documents to be published?”

Now, don’t worry too much if you don’t have the answer to these questions. Something tells me that the Synod Fathers (and Mothers) already have the answers – pencilled in from Day 1.

The third Australian Synod mouthpiece is Anthony Randazzo, Bishop of Broken Bay diocese, who seems to have mastered the art of verbally giving with one hand while taking with the other.

One the one hand, Randazzo criticises those who are ‘obsessed’ by the issue of women’s ordination. But look at the reasons he gives as objections to it:

“Those issues become all-consuming and focusing for people, to the point that they then become an imposition on people who sometimes struggle simply to feed their families, to survive the rising sea levels, or the dangerous journeys across wild oceans to resettle in new lands.”

The Catholic Diocese of Broken Bay website reports that while Randazzo has ‘no problem with the topic of women’s ordination being discussed and studied at the Synod’, he thinks it should be poor women and not wealthy, well-educated ones who call for it. What? So now the disobedient notion of ordaining women is only wrong when it is attached to white privilege?

Maybe someone needs to tell His Grace that the Amazonian women are way ahead of the curve. They are already receiving a para-liturgical blessing from their Cardinal before beginning their ‘ministry’ of distributing the Sacraments.

How anyone can think this matter was not laid to rest in the past with an infallible statement is beyond me.

Pope’s ‘Deadly Sins’ are Straight from the Masonic Playbook

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

It’s almost Synod time again: the second session is only weeks away, and the Vatican propaganda machine is letting us know what to expect. As usual, the agenda is full of Masonic mumbo-jumbo which will unfortunately be responsible for aiding and abetting many of the faithful on their path to Hell.

The Synod will begin with a ‘penitential liturgy’ which will include testimonies from three people (it is unclear whether or not these people are Catholic) and which will be geared towards young people. The first speaker is to be a victim of abuse; the second a victim of war and the third is a victim of ‘indifference to migrants’. This will be followed by a sort of general confession of ‘sins’ in which we have all apparently taken part.

Here are the sins – there are notably EIGHT of them: (is some kind of one-upmanship at play here?)

  1. sins against peace
  2. sins against creation
  3. sins against Indigenous populations and migrants
  4. sins of abuse
  5. sins against women, family and youth
  6. the sin of ‘using doctrine as a stone to be hurled’
  7. sins against poverty
  8. sins against synodality – the lack of listening and communion.

The inclusion of ‘sins against synodality’ continues to make the Church into a laughing-stock. Any respect She had left in the eyes of the world after decades of abuse scandals and cringey aggioramento has dissolved under the watch of Pope Bergoglio.

As can be seen, the greatest human rights abuse of all time, abortion, is not included – even though Bergoglio has said it is ‘just as bad‘ as sins against migrants. Of course, Bergoglio is no stranger to hypocrisy; even as he decries sins of abuse, he continues to harbour sex offenders within the very heart of the Church and to gaslight the faithful as an abusive father of the very lowest kind.

This information came from a press conference, and according to the Secretary-General of the Synod, Cardinal Mario Gresch, the Catholic Church is in a ‘dynamic of conversion.’ (Pretty accurate if he means conversion from the True Church to the Ape of the Church.)

In a specious snippet of predictive programming, Gresch reminded the world that the Pope has said, ” the main protagonist of the Synod is the Holy Spirit.” Easy to claim, not so easy to prove.

The relator-general of the synod, Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, told the Vatical press conference that the number of official non-Catholic attendees will increase due to ‘the great interest that the sister churches’ have in the Synod. Who exactly are these ‘sister churches’? How is it possible for the Catholic Church, one True Church, to have ‘Sisters”? Does he not mean heretical churches? Sects? Idolators?

Additionally, it was announced that the Synod will be attended by two bishops from China; this is presumably an attempt to legitimise the disastrous Sino-Vatican deal.

The Synod will be preceded by a two-day retreat with the sodo-cleric, Timothy Radcliffe and Benedictine Mother Ignazia Angelini. Mother Angelini’s community is part of the worldwide Subiaco Cassinese Congregation. The Australian monastery of this Congregation is at New Norcia in Western Australia and is a notorious haunt for LGBTI Catholics. As can be seen in the image below, Mother Angelini has a link with Bergoglio’s patrons, the St. Gallen Mafia.

Here is Mother Angelini’s community with the late Cardinal Martini – founding member of the St. Gallen Mafia.

The retreat begins on October 1st and the Synod proper begins on October 3rd, which according to this occult ritual calendar, are Satanic high-days. Coincidence? I think not.

Another Masonic-inspired event during the Synod will be the ecumenical prayer-meeting on October 11th (the 62nd anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council.) It looks as though everything is gearing up for another diabolical Assisi event. The Synod will finish at the end of October, just as occultists are preparing for their great feast of Halloween.

In order to make a direct connection between the Synod and Freemasonry, one need look no further than the Alta Vendita – that Masonic blueprint set down around 150 years ago and which was published for the faithful by Popes Pius IX and Leo XIII.

In planning the infiltration of the Catholic Church (for that is the precise strategy found in the Alta Vendita) the document tells Masonic adherents to “Leave old people and those of a mature age aside; go to the youth, and if it is possible, even to the children… ” This is EXACTLY what Bergoglio and his cronies have said they are planning for the Synod – and what they have in fact been up to for years.

The Masons knew that by gradually descralizing the culture, they would eventually end up with a Pope “according to their needs”; one who would be “more or less imbued with the [revolutionary] Italian and humanitarian principles that we are going to begin to put into circulation…”

The Alta Vendita advises “You wish to establish the reign of the chosen ones on the throne of the prostitute of Babylon; let the clergy march under your standard, always believing that they are marching under the banner of the Apostolic keys…. lay your snares …. in the sacristies, the seminaries and the monasteries rather than at the bottom of the sea…”

Is this not precisely what we see with the upcoming Synod: homosexualist leaders who are infecting seminaries and monasteries with their perverse doctrines; attempts at revising the education of priests; and weak bishops who believe they are promoting the rights of God even as they remain silent in the face of apostasy?

Is Cardinal Gresch’s “dynamic of conversion” anything other that the total revolution called for by the authors of the Alta Vendita?

Prophecy is being fulfilled before our very eyes. The reigning Pontiff is proceeding to play his part in the globalist coup as warned by Our Lady at La Salette:

All the civil governments will have one and the same plan, which will be to abolish and do away with every religious principle, to make way for materialism, atheism, spiritualism and vice of all kinds.

Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us!

The Hideous Context of Bergoglio’s ‘Pro Life’ Comments.

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

Last week the Pope made his way back from a trip to Oceania and during an in-flight press conference, gave some comments that have been interpreted as bolstering his pro life credentials. However, the whole quote in context is genuinely disgraceful: the Pope equated the great crime of abortion, that sin which cries to heaven for vengeance with the wholly legitimate activity of ejecting illegal immigrants.

As reported by Vatican News, Pope Francis responded to a journalist’s questions about the upcoming US presidential election:

Anna Matranga (CBS News)

Your Holiness, you have always spoken in defence of the dignity of life. In Timor-Leste, which has a high birth rate, you said you felt life pulsing and exploding with so many children. In Singapore, you defended migrant workers. With the US elections coming up, what advice would you give a Catholic voter faced with a candidate who supports ending a pregnancy and another who wants to deport 11 million migrants?

Both are against life: the one that throws out migrants and the one that kills children. Both are against life. I can’t decide; I’m not American and won’t go to vote there. But let it be clear: denying migrants the ability to work and receive hospitality is a sin, a grave sin. The Old Testament speaks repeatedly of the orphan, the widow, and the stranger—migrants. These are the three that Israel must care for. Failing to care for migrants is a sin, a sin against life and humanity.

I celebrated Mass at the border, near the diocese of El Paso. There were many shoes from migrants, who ended poorly there. Today, there is a flow of migration within Central America, and many times they are treated like slaves because people take advantage of the situation. Migration is a right, and it was already present in Sacred Scripture and in the Old Testament. The stranger, the orphan, and the widow—do not forget this.

Obviously the primary error here is that the Pope is equating ILLEGAL immigration with LEGAL immigration. It is true that migration was common in Old Testament days and it is still common today: nations should gladly accept a sensible number of immigrants who commit to assimilating and contributing to the common good.

But when Moses took the Israelites to the Promised Land, they were doing the Will of God. They were bringing with them what was, at that time, the true religion, unlike today’s illegals who are anything from Marxist infiltrators to child sex traffickers to practitioners of Voodoo and Santeria. The Israelites weren’t given debit cards and free housing and we can be fairly sure they didn’t resort to eating the locals’ pets. So the Pope is creating a false equivalence here and ignoring the multiple ways mass illegal migration is tearing at the fabric of western societies.

Then, abortion. Science says that at one month after conception, all the organs of a human being are present. Everything. Having an abortion is killing a human being. Whether you like the word or not, it’s murder. The Church is not closed-minded because it forbids abortion; the Church forbids abortion because it kills. It is murder; it is murder!

And we need to be clear about this: sending migrants away, not allowing them to grow, not letting them have life is something wrong, it is cruelty. Sending a child away from the womb of the mother is murder because there is life. And we must speak clearly about these things. “No, but however…” No “but however.” Both things are clear. The orphan, the stranger, and the widow—do not forget this.

The first thing to note here is that, in mentioning two of the sins that cry to heaven – the cry of the ‘orphan, stranger and widow’ and abortion – the Pope omits two other very relevant ones: sodomy and the failure to pay a just wage. Both of these are widely known to be rampant with the Vatican’s walls under hhis pontificate.

Secondly, not content with saying imported thugs should be given the same treatment as genuine migrants in his first response, the Pope now says imported thugs as just as important as unborn babies.

So the tuberculosis-carrying murderers, rapists, and drug-pushers deserve the same protections as vulnerable babies in the womb? What a regrettable comment from a Successor of St. Peter who is basically saying that both actions are mortally sinful. (If he believes in mortal sin, which is doubtful.)

In your opinion, Your Holiness, are there circumstances in which it is morally permissible to vote for a candidate who is in favor of abortion?

In political morality, it is generally said that not voting is ugly, it’s not good. One must vote. And one must choose the lesser evil. Which is the lesser evil? That lady or that gentleman? I don’t know; each person must think and decide according to their own conscience.

Wrong again, Holy Father. While Catholics MAY deem it prudent to vote for the pro-abortionTrump under the current circumstances, they MAY NOT vote for a pro-abortion candidate of the magnitude of Kamala Harris under any circumstances. (Here is Fr. Ripperger’s opinion on voting for the lesser evil.) And there always remains an option to vote third party as matter of principle.

So what at first glance appears to be a strong defence of life, is in reality merely an excuse for the Pope to bang on about one of his his favourite causes: the mass migration that globalists are using as a tool to smash national identity.

This is yet another pawn being moved on the global chessboard to create a New World Order, with Pope Francis cheerfully playing his part. The Introit from today’s Mass in memory of the martyrs, Sts Cornelius and Cyprian seems particularly apt:

“…O God , the heathens are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple…” Psalm 78.

BCE was invented by a Freemason

‘BCE’ was invented by a Freemason

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

There has been much criticism of a decision by the Vatican to issue a document which included the dating system ‘BCE’ rather than the customary ‘BC.’ The document in question was a letter from the Pope about the usefulness of literature; he included two dates to exemplify St. Paul’s ‘evangelical discernment of culture’ (whatever that is.).

Although some historians believe that BCE (before the common era) is not meant to be an insult to Jesus Christ (BC of course refers to ‘before Christ’), a look into the origin of the term shows that this is unlikely to be the case. That is because the inventor of BCE was a Mason and as such was influenced by anti-Christian ideology.

The origins of the Christian dating system of BC and AD can be traced back at least as far as the 6th century, when a monk tabled the dates of Easter in reference to anni Domini nostri Jesu Christi, that is, “years of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

The system was popularised by the Venerable Bede, who was active in the 7th century. Bede’s works included the phrase, ante incarnationis dominicae tempus, meaning ‘before the time of the incarnation of the Lord’ as well as anno ab incarnatione Domini, meaning ‘in the year from the incarnation of the Lord’ and anno incarnationis Dominicae, meaning ‘in the year of the incarnation of the Lord.’ Bede’s dating system became standard by the time of Charlemagne and was abbreviated over time to the two letters now in use.

BCE, however, was brought into use much later by the scientist, Johannes Kepler. Kepler, a German, lived from 1571 to 1630 and was ostensibly a Lutheran. He is known for his contributions to the study of planetary motion and celestial mechanics; his three laws governing planetary motion are still used today by astronomers.

As well as studying astronomy, Kepler was also an adept in astrology – something omitted from modern school textbooks!

Kepler is said to have been initiated into Freemasonry in 1620 at Prague’s Bohemian Union Lodge.

In his book, Eclogae Chronicae, published in 1615, Kepler used the terminology anno aerae nostrae vulgaris (in our common era.) Kepler offered no explanation for the change, and it was repeated here and there over the next couple of hundred years, in several non-English-speaking parts of Europe.

1708 marked the first time the phrase ‘common era’ was used in an English book, The History of the Works of the Learned. By the mid 19th century, CE and BCE had come into common use, popularised by Jews who did not want to honour the salvific birth of Christ. Nowadays, BCE and CE continue to be promoted by atheists who refuse to ‘privilege Christianity,’ as well as by those who do not wish to offend non-Christians.

Thus when a Pope decides to use BCE instead of BC, he reveals a Masonic preference for religious indifferentism or worse: that the Incarnation and birth of Jesus Christ were not the pivotal events in the history of mankind.

Bergoglio's Visitor Flashes Occult Credentials

Bergoglio’s Visitor Flashes Occult Credentials

Published on by Kathy ClubbLeave a comment

The meeting itself was scandalous enough: a semi-naked man in the Vatican’s official reception room, ostensibly to promote the Pope’s upcoming trip to Papua New Guinea. The topless man is Mundiya Kepanga, an environmental activist and Papuan tribal chief who was in Rome last May.

But worse than his state of undress was the message he sent through Vatican channels: Kepanga overtly flashed this hand gesture, used by occultists such as the Illuminati and by practitioners of magical yoga, in full view of the video cameras of media outlet Rome Reports. It could not have been more obvious.

Screenshot: the entire video may be accessed here.

Despite his traditional clothing, Kepanga is a man of the world: he travels, appears in documentary films and attends UNESCO and COP events. (Take a look here at his selfie in front of the Statue of Liberty.)

Kepanga told the Pope that the main concern of his nation is deforestation, but omitted to mention the actual problems confronting the people of New Guinea: Chinese interests undermining the nation’s sovereignty, anti-life organisations Like Marie Stopes international working with the Catholic Church to inflict contraception and abortion on the people; systemic government corruption and of course, high levels of superstition and paganism, including such practices as cannibalism and headhunting.

Kepanga with his clothes on. Note the plastic water bottle and disposable cups: standard issue hypocrisy for the modern environmentalist.

Kepanga’s Huli tribe, while not known to be cannibals, believe in a number of pagan gods, performing rituals and sacrifices they believe enable them to harness divine powers; they are particularly fond of sacrificing pigs in order to gain protection or some other benefit from their gods. These ‘gods’ are, of course, demons, thus it seems that Kepanga is accessing demons to gain power. Indeed, sorcery and witchcraft are the part of everyday life for the Huli people. Yet Kepanga is clearly into more than that: his gesture reveals that he part of a contemporary occult society – one he felt compelled to acknowledge and promote from the very centre of Catholicism.

As we know, paganism and occultism pose no obstacle for this Pope. In fact, they are openly welcomed and are the only form of traditionalism being promoted currently in the Vatican. The ‘backwardism’ of the traditional liturgy is condemned but what could be more ‘backwardist’ than a twenty-first century environmental activist wearing indigenous fancy-dress?

Bergoglio has entertained a steady stream of occultists, sodomites and witches, flaunting their meetings via his official media outlets. So the question remains: why would a Pope applaud these practices – unless they are part of his religion?
