Be silent no more! Cry out with one hundred thousand tongues. I see that, because of this silence, the world is in ruins, the Spouse of Christ has grown pale; the color is taken from her face because her blood has been sucked out, that is the blood of Christ, which is given as a free gift and not by right – St. Catherine of Siena
In the 3rd century BC, King Pyrrhus of Greece went to war against the Romans. Initially, his forces were victorious, but the casualties they sustained were so high that Pyrrhus was unable to win a more decisive later battle. From this historical failure is derived the term, Pyrrhic victory, which has come to mean a victory which is hollow: one which loses more than it gains.
Two thousand years later, Italy is again the scene of a Pyrrhic victory; mainstream traditionalist media is claiming a triumph while also sustaining great losses, both of credibility and of personal integrity.
A deal with the devil
The Tridentine Mass of the Summorum Pontificum pilgrimage held in St. Peter’s Basilica was hailed by some as the sign that Pope Leo is welcoming tradition into the Vatican. It was a product of the “Zip It” policy which promised to “see no evil” in return for access (for some) to the Latin Mass.
With a huge crowd of faithful Catholics and a number of high-ranking prelates in attendance, the liturgy was accompanied by an exorcism prayer offered by Cardinal Ernest Simoni. Cardinal Simoni, aged 97, had been tortured and imprisoned for 28 years in Albania for refusing to renounce his faith.
Without casting shade on the piety of the Cardinal, it must be asked whether a single exorcism prayer could be sufficient to cleanse St. Peter’s from the multitude of abuses she has endured over the past decade. Surely a solemn reconsecration would be necessary before traditionalists could dare to offer Mass inside St. Peter’s walls?
The Vatican’s liaison was Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, who was also in attendance on the day. Zuppi has been assisting at traditional liturgies around Rome for a number of years, one example being the Pontifical Mass he offered for Laetare Sunday with the FSSP in 2014.
Yet, Zuppi is so closely aligned with the promotion of sodomy that his presence at these Masses should be a source of scandal to traditional Catholics.
The pilgrimage of sodomites which entered the Basilica last month, organised with the explicit support of Cardinal Zuppi, was only the latest in a series of his sodomy-related scandals.
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.
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.
Fr. Michael Weninger is a priest who has been mentioned several times on this website, as he is one of the few ecclesiastical freemasons who makes no secret of his dual allegiance. (See articles here and here.)
Fr. Weninger, a former diplomat who entered the priesthood late, has never renounced his membership in Freemasonry, which scandalously has even been encouraged by his superiors. He is famous for publishing a book in 2019 called Lodge and Altar, which is based on his doctoral thesis. He studied under Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran at the Pontifical Gregorian University which casts some doubt on Tauran’s own allegiance to the Catholic faith. Weninger also works under the Cardinal at the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue.
Fr. Weninger addresses the French National Grand Lodge
A Scandalous Conference
Last month, Fr. Weninger, gave an address at the French National Grand Lodge at which he again attempted to affirm a compatibility between Freemasonry and Catholicism. The lecture can be found here on Youtube, but as both the video and transcript are in French, it’s necessary to rely on translated reports for this article.
The Spanish website, Infovaticana, tells us that according to Fr. Weninger, the “Great Architect of the Universe” is synonymous with the God of the Bible, and that this is the same God “to the Yahweh of the Jews, to the Allah of the Muslims and to the Trinity of the Christians.” This is perfectly consistent with the heresy of indifferentism which is a hallmark of Freemasonry.
The priest also stated that “a Catholic Freemason is no longer excommunicated for the mere fact of his membership in Freemasonry” – an error he shares in common with the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference. Note that Weninger limits this apparent compatibility to Anglo-Saxon lodges; despite the Church making no exceptions to their centuries-old condemnation of Masonry.
Infovaticana suggests that the timing of Fr. Weninger’s address suggests that it is a test to the limits of the new pontificate’s authority – and to date no condemnation of the talk or of the Judas-priest’s dual allegiance has been issued by Pope Leo.
False Interpretation of Canon Law
Fr. Weninger makes his claim of compatibility based on the removal of the penalty of excommunication for Masons from the 1983 Code of Canon Law even though then-Cardinal Ratzinger confirmed that “Membership in them remains prohibited. The faithful who belong to Masonic associations are in a state of serious sin and cannot approach holy communion.”
Even Pope Francis, through Cardinal Fernandez, re-affirmed the ruling in 2023 when he stated that “Active membership in Freemasonry of a faithful is prohibited, due to the incompatibility between Catholic doctrine and Freemasonry.”
Weaponised Confusion
The French media outlet, Tribune Chretienne, com made some insightful comments about Fr. Weninger’s address:
Note that during this same conference, an anonymous speaker testified to a word received during a confession, which alone sums up the constant teaching of the Church: “I absolve you of all your sins, you can do whatever you want, except… don’t go to Freemasonry. “ A revealing sentence which says a lot about the perceived seriousness of this belonging with regard to the Catholic faith.
Father Weninger took the liberty of concluding his intervention with “So be it”, which is not trivial. This expression, [the] liturgical translation of the Christian “Amen”, traditionally concludes a prayer, a blessing or a proclamation of faith. Using it to close a relativistic presentation on the compatibility between the Gospel and an initiatory organization based on secrecy and the rejection of Christian dogma demonstrates the confusion he wants to create to accredit his speech. This amounts to giving a liturgical anointing to a word which contradicts the Magisterium.
As Serge Abad-Gallardo, a former converted Freemason, recalled in a direct criticism addressed to Father Weninger: “Masonic principles are incompatible with Catholicism: they profess doctrinal relativism, refuse all revealed truth and reject the Kingship of Christ. Freemasonry claims to replace faith with human reason. However, man cannot save himself.“
On July 9th, Pope Leo offered his first Mass “for the Care of Creation”. The Mass contained many clues that show his agenda is no different from the human-centred goal of his predecessor, Pope Francis. Significantly, the press conference announcing the Mass featured Cardinal Michael Czerny, the man who promotes the Integral Ecology of Liberation Theologian, Leonardo Boff and Archbishop Francesco Viola, the man who wears Annibale Bugnini’s ring.
Firstly, I’d like to present an alternative view to mine, that is, a traditional Catholic’s interpretation of this Mass as being entirely orthodox and in line with the correct Catholic approach to creation. It seems solid, ending with the comment: “The keystone of the entire homily lies in the final sentence: ‘Only a contemplative gaze can change our relationship with created things’,” then providing a thoughtful explanation of what this means for faithful Catholics.
The only problem is, Pope Leo’s ‘contemplative gaze’ quote is taken from Laudato Si – that is, straight from the mouth of Papa Bergoglio. When one reads the entire sermon, it becomes obvious that Pope Leo is not, in fact, as the author suggests, referencing the traditional teaching on creation. Rather, he is continuing Francis’ mission which is none other than that of the subversive forces who gave us the Pact of the Catacombs. Clues such as ‘cry of the earth and cry of the poor’ abound, as do multiple references to Pope Francis and his pantheistic encyclical, Laudato Si. (For a complete analysis, see this article at Novus Ordo Watch.)
Apart from the obvious display of devotion to Pope Francis, there may be even more to this Mass than first appears. For this, it must be viewed through the lens of occult symbolism and so some speculation is in order.
Borgo Laudato Si Gardens
The Mass for Creation took place at the Borgo Laudato Si (The “Praised be” Village) – the immense gardens of the Pope’s holiday residence, Castel Gandolfo. Pope Francis had this turned into a tourist attraction, meant to provide some income for the cash-strapped Vatican whilst educating the public about ‘integral ecology’ (worshipping the environment). Remember, this is the vision that would have us believe that “justice and peace will only dwell on the Earth” when everyone has access to clean water.
The gardens made the perfect setting for a pagan ritual: that is, outdoors, in a grove. Groves were condemned by God throughout the Old Testament for their relationship to paganism and the prophets were often instructed to destroy these places where adulterous Israelites would gather to worship false gods.
The Dicastery for Integral Human development posted this to social media with the following caption: ‘Only a contemplative gaze can change our relationship with #Creation and bring us out of the ecological crisis’. But, it must be asked, where is Christ in this scenario?
Groves and the Divine Feminine
Is the statue behind the altar Our Lady? It’s certainly possible and at least she is dressed more modestly than Papa Bergoglio’s false Mary, undoer of knots. But in the current context, I’d like to explore another possibility: that this female figure represents a pagan goddess: Pachamama or perhaps Isis.
The Hebrew word for ‘grove’ is ‘Asherah’ which can also mean a sacred tree or wooden pole or totem which was worshipped as an idol. The name ‘Asherah’ (or ‘Ašratu’ in Akkadian), can also denote the pagan goddess of groves who was worshipped by the Phoenicians, the Akkaddians, the Hittites, and the Canaanites. Ashrerah was considered to be the ‘Queen of Heaven’ and is sometimes identified with the ‘Divine Feminine’.
The Queen of Heaven archetype appears often in pagan belief systems. For example, in Egyptian mythology the Queen of Heaven was Isis, the sister-wife of Osiris, sometimes known as the ‘World Virgin’. Isis is the personification of Nature and like other types of this goddess is associated with fertility.
As a mother-goddess who was and is blasphemously believed by some to be the consort of God, Asherah can be equated with the Pachamama of South America. Pachamama, as we know, is identified with Mother Earth and with the Divine Feminine. A common offering to Pachamama is the gift of flowers, especially yellow ones, and these can be seen on the altar at the Pope’s Mass of Creation – in violation of the GIRM (General Instruction on the Roman Missal).
Yellow flowers, a common offering for Pachamama, were placed on the altar, in violation of the GIRM.
Asherah/Isis was goddess of motherhood, and wisdom and as such may also be identified with ‘Sophia’ – the personification of wisdom. In Gnosticism, Sophia plays a fundament role, as she is an aspect of god and an agent of chaos and confusion which can only be countered by the ‘gnosis’ of ‘Jesus Christ’ which humans require to escape the physical world and return to the spiritual one.
To see a statue of a woman placed prominently behind the altar during the outdoor Mass of Creation, hands crossed over her chest in the gesture of Osiris and surmounted by a triangle (an important occult/Masonic symbol ) makes one wonder if this is not meant to represent Our Lady, but rather the anti-Mary World Virgin who is known as Ashrerah, Isis, Sophia or Pachamama.
Wisdom Between Two Pillars
The placement of the figure of Isis/Pachamama between two pillars provides further material for discussion as this is a specific arrangement in the occult with its own meaning:
The World Virgin is sometimes shown standing between two great pillars–the Jachin and Boaz of Freemasonry–symbolizing the fact that Nature attains productivity by means of polarity. As wisdom personified, Isis stands between the pillars of opposites, demonstrating that understanding is always found at the point of equilibrium and that truth is often crucified between the two thieves of apparent contradiction.
Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of all Ages
Another interpretation of the setting of a female icon of Wisdom between two pillars comes from the Tarot. In this system, the woman is associated with the mythical ‘Pope Joan’ – a false female Pope! Surely, that’s not the message being conveyed here!?!
Opposing Forces
As has been repeated often among these pages, the Great Work of the occultist is to access gnosis in order to reconcile opposing forces. The placement of the female goddess figure between the two pillars echoes that principle. It is repeated in the elegant reflective pool which appears in front of the altar, a perfect embodiment of the principle of ‘as above, so below‘.
The reflective pool expresses the principle of ‘as above, so below’
The occult pectoral cross
For the occasion of the Mass of Creation, Pope Leo wore a pectoral cross decorated with an image of the Good Shepherd. While this appears at first to be the same cross was worn by the infamous Cardinal Bernadin (see article here) on closer inspection, this doesn’t seem to be the case. A separate article studies these crosses and may be found here.
Despite any differences in the crosses, it’s worth noting for our purposes that in the original version of this cross – the one worn by Cardinal Bernadin and Pope Francis – the ‘Good Shepherd’ was modelled on the Egyptian god, Osiris and that as mentioned above, the wife of Osiris was the goddess, Isis.
Conclusion
Rather than merely hijacking the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to promote the prevailing, disordered, emphasis on the environment, there were enough red flags here to indicate an occult ritual took place under the guise of, or in conjunction with, the liturgy.
Although we may never know the truth, it is educational to decode the hierarchy’s clues which were hiding in plain site in what at first appears to be a tranquil and thoroughly Catholic scene.
To see Mass offered outdoors in a lush grove, near twin pillars that are surmounted by a triangle, close to a reflective pool with all being overseen by the divine feminine should fill us with horror, rather than delight. It is yet another sign of the new papacy’s agenda: to present Modernism with a smile and to lure Catholics into nature worship using the tantalising bait of aesthetics.
An associate of Father Isaac Mary Relyea, made an interesting point on their Youtube channel : he said the name, Mass for the “Care of Creation” immediately reminded him of the “Cremation of Care” ritual performed at Bohemian Grove. Hmmm. Another ritual in an infamous grove. That certainly is food for thought.
Some good news, finally, from the Vatican on the Rupnik case: it was announced that the notorious abuser of 30 nuns and occult-artist will soon be subject to an independent investigation.
Cardinal Fernandez, unusually this time the bearer of good news, reported that the panel “is made up of judges who are all independent and external to our dicastery” in order “to dissolve the idea that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith or the Holy See had any interest or were subject to pressure. People were chosen who would not give rise to any suspicion.”
It is certainly to be hoped that the individuals comprising the panel and will actually be independent and not secret minions of Rupnik’s – a man whose reach seems to be enormous.
Rupnik’s victims are pleased at the move, and their lawyer said “will certainly cooperate fully in reconstructing the facts and seeking the truth. We hope that this case will be concluded as soon as possible and that it will finally bring comfort to the victims.”
The news outlet responsible for bringing so much of the details of the Rupnik case to out attention is Silere non possum. This group interviewed victims and traced many appointments in the Dicastery for Communications back to the influence of Rupnik. This explains why Rupnik’s disturbing artwork continued to be promoted by the Vatican for years after his abuse was made public.
For reference, a timeline is given below to show how long the Vatican has known that Rupnik is an abuser and blaphemer: the first credible accusations were brought to the Jesuit’s attention back in 1995.
