"Sacred Exchange"

J.M.J.

Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ



What more could we leave to everyone than what St. Paul the Apostle commends today in the Sacred Traditional Liturgy of the Holy Church. These things speak and exhort, in Christ Jesus Our Lord:

Dearly beloved: The grace of God our Savior hath appeared to all men, instructing us...:
denying ungodliness and worldly desires,
we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world,
looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of 
the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ:
Who gave Himself for us,
that He might redeem us from all iniquity,
and might cleanse to Himself a people acceptable...
(from the Epistle of the First Mass, Tit. 2.11-15).

A most blessed Christmas Season to all, most especially to our followers!
May the Divine Infant make His countenance to shine and smile brightly upon you;
And, Our Immaculate Mother of Carmel take and keep you under Her mantle!

'Christian' Condescension

+
J.M.J.

Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle

"O Orient, splendor of Light Eternal, and Sun of Justice, come and enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death" (today's "Great Antiphon"). Thus the authentic Catholic position vis-a-vis the non-Catholic world, the Light Eternal Himself verifies to be His own: You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain (prepared on top of the mountains... exalted above the hills, as He spoke by the mouth of the Prophet Isaias, 2.1)... that it may shine to all... (the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, 5.14,15). The Catholic brings and radiates the Light Eternal to the non-Catholic world that [sits] in darkness... the region of the shadow of death (ibid., 4.16) and so deliver its people from the power of darkness, and [translate them] into the kingdom of the Son of His love (Col. 1.13).

But the clown Neo-Catholic sick-head (Is. 1.5):

"Allow me to underline a perspective that I hold as very important [to which the false obedience of Neo-Catholicism prompts its adherents: "The 'Pontifex' has spoken, so it is with us"]... the culture of encounter... How important this service is! ... geared to what does not appear, to the growth of positive relations, based on reciprocal knowledge [the Truth is not really exclusive to the Catholic mind], on respect [now the ultimate logical consequence: each man to his own 'truth'!], on the common search [it is preposterous for a Catholic to offer his right hand to the blind and say: "Let me lead you across to the kingdom of the Blessed Light."] for ways of development [the traditional Christian notion of a more perfect conformity to Christ and Him Crucified, 1 Cor. 2.2, has become a less viable option!] and peace [give them space to satisfy their bend and inclinations in so far as they do not cause 'public disturbance'].... to the advantage of the common good [forget about the rights of sovereign dominion of the King of kings and Lord of lords over one's whole body and soul, families, and nations - it's now the "New Democratic and Republican World Order" to which the 'Church' must be in sync!], of what (Pope) Paul VI called the civilization of love [the 'Church' now has "a new way (of) being," says the Neo-Cardinal of Manila (who is a friend of Pope Benedict XVI and who emerged as a popular 'papabile' in the mock-conclave) - the Church as a kingdom subject to Christ through a royal "Sovereign Pontiff" belongs to an age now brought to a close by Vatican II!]...

[At this point, the dumb Neo-Catholic babble of "culture of encounter" is related to be a reflection of Christmas] We are given a [c]hild who in his person realizes fully this encounter of [g]od and man... this mystery of ["luv"]" (address to the Diplomatic Staff of the Italian 'Republic' and the Italian Embassy to the mock-Vatican of "diabolical disorientation," ZenitNews report, 20th December).

Anathema sit!
(Gal. 1.8,9)

"Fratres in unum?"

+
J.M.J.

Fourth Day of Novena in honor of the Nativity of the Lord and Savior

Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity (Ps. 132.1, in today's Office for Vespers).

CNA (Catholic News Agency) reports the following statements of the Rotarian clown blasphemer sitting on the seat of Satan (Apoc. 2.13) erected over the Chair of the Truth (cf., Pope Leo XIII in his Prayer to St. Michael after a detailed vision on the Church of Rome succumbing to become the seat of Satan was given him; see also "A Perilous 'Catholic' Voyage"):

1. “It is an ugly thing when one sees a Christian who does not want to lower himself, who does not want to serve... That person isn’t a Christian: he is a pagan! The Christian serves (and) lowers himself” (General Audience, 18th December).

But a Christian lowering himself after him?

A 'Christian' lowering himself to a woman infidel?

... Serving the devil after his example at a Synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2.9;3.9) and a minister of the devil giving instructions as the 'Blessed' Pope John Paul II did?



See our post, "The Great Tribulation"










... Then he must follow his 'master' in feigning virtue.

Two women in the place of Apostles, one an infidel?
 We ask: And what do we say of a 'Pontifex' openly repudiating the real Christ of the Apostolic Tradition? (cf., our posts "The True God - The Catholic God", and Estote Sapientes).

2. “For me ecumenism is a priority. Today there is an ecumenism of blood... We are united in blood, even though we have not yet managed to take necessary steps towards unity between us..." (interview with the Italian "La Stampa," 16th December).

It's not even "the Blood" with a capital "B". Indeed, this Rotarian clown charlatan is another special divine scourge of rather nominal 'Christians' who receive not the love of the truth (2 Thess. 2.10) - God [sending] them the operation of error to believe lying (ibid.): a "New" life-principle, a "blood" other than the Most Sacred and Precious Blood of the Crucified shed for many (not the lie of "for all" as was found at the very heart of the worship of the idol of Neo-Catholicism or the "New" 'Catholic' DisOrder of Vatican II - the "[non-]Catholic God" of another modern-day anti-pope, see "The Ultimate Delusion of Vatican II 'Catholicism'"). A special divine scourge, for his spirit he himself unequivocally expresses with resoluteness is anti-Catholic and therefore anti-Christ yet the 'Pope-loyalists' who have eyes and ears would not see and hear.

"Dirigite Viam Domini!"

+
J.M.J.

First Day of Novena in Honor of the Nativity of the Savior

Make straight the way of the Lord! (St. John the Baptist quoting the Prophet Isaias in the Holy Gospel yesterday, Gaudete Sunday) But how, what must we do? This question, however, points to our own little, personal efforts. Sacred Writ therefore teaches us, Lord what wilt Thou have me to do? (Acts 9.6) And the divine answer to which, "Let Me do as I will." - which means that we become as it were, other Christs, by filling our hearts with Him, living by Him and allowing Him to live in us: Be it done to me according to thy word, as Our Lady simply puts it.

The Lord and Savior must find pure reservoirs just as He made for Himself the Immaculate reservoir of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. But these vessels, especially those who wear the badge of the Immaculate - the holy Scapular of Carmel - to be like to their Immaculate Mother of Carmel which overflow and fertilize the world of souls, themselves must be full of the living waters springing up to life everlasting (cf., the Holy Gospel according to St. John, 4.14).

To attain this end, the first condition is that we should be empty. For One can only fill something which is empty. God will make this void in us.

We must be void of sin and the very source of it: the pride of 'liberalism' - refusal of total and complete submission to the consistent teachings and incontrovertible moral judgments of the King of kings and Lord of lords through His sovereign dominion, that is, His indefectible kingdom and "Mystical Body," the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Roman Church [distinguished from the mock-imitation which is the so-called "New 'Catholic' DisOrder" of Vatican II, cf., our post "The Year 1929", peddled by well-paid dim-witted dummy propagandists of the Synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2.9;3.9), the like of AP or the "Associated Press"], cf., our post yesterday "Rejoice, but in the Lord!" - and the very root of it: self-love. Also of petty interests, even of little personal preoccupations which are of course not in themselves bad; and, void of our too personal way of seeing and judging, even about 'spiritual' things - of sanctifying ourselves in our own little, narrow, easy, comfortable way: marking out our own little path in the convenient forms of 'modernist Catholicism' or the Neo-Catholicism of Vatican II [just as 'Bible-only' fundamentalist sectarianism is nothing but a 'convenient Christianity'] and the SSPX of Fellayite regime or the 'SSPX of Neo-Catholic DisOrder-integristic persuasion'. Otherwise, we cannot have even a little of that which was granted to Cephas: Surely thou art one of them, for even thy speech doth discover thee! (the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, 26.73) - to catch something of Our Lord's accent and way of speaking.

"Rejoice...," but "in the Lord!" (I)

+
J.M.J.

Gaudete Sunday

Advent is a season of penance in preparation for the coming of God Himself. God Himself will come and will save... (Prophet Isaias 35.4). Therefore, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord (from today's Holy Gospel according to St. John 1.23, quoting the Prophet Isaias 40.3). Yet, Holy Church bids us, through her Sacred Traditional Liturgy, to rejoice this day for the Lord is nigh (from the Lesson, Epistle of the Apostle St. Paul to the Philippians, 4.5).

The Eternal Word distinguishes the true Christian joy from the Neo-Catholic and the out-rightly anti-Catholic notions - to wit, respectively: the 'feel-good' sense of yielding to the disordered base inclinations, passions, and instincts of our fallen and corrupt nature [flesh and rational soul], or to the desire of the ego to be 'proved', exalted, acclaimed, honored, and adored [now, in the so-called 'selfie' mode], or to the attractions, with its pretended needs, of the earthly 'paradise' [a "New (de-Catholicized) Order"] packaged by the 'humanistic' dummies of the Synagogue of Satan (that is, the Freemasons, cf. our post "Anti-Christian Conspiracy - Scriptural Truth and Historical Fact"), or to all of them, more or less, with the consequence of God not grossly and appallingly overthrown but only rather dislodged from His central place of primacy of dominion to a secondary or fringe ["extra(outside of the)ordinary," says Pope Benedict XVI in his "Summorum Pontificum"] position without the threat of the God of our Sacred Tradition Who knows wrath blazing to the very depths of hell for, as Vatican II Neo-Catholicism illusions it, their 'soft' all-loving-merciful idol, a "[non-]Catholic God" (claims the blaspheming bastard-usurper Bergoglio, cf., our post "Virtutes caelorum movebuntur", in his 1st October interview with the Italian "La Reppublica" and published by the "L'Osservatore Romano", cf., our post Estote sapientes), could not care about sin but only with 'weakness' which [s]he - the devil, being the filthy queen of Sodomites and all the impure - is most ever-ready to bestow indulgence on; and, independence from God - non-submission to Him: without being wholly subject to the "Summus Pontifex", to His Commandments and to the precepts of His Church - nay, rejection and mockery of God. Whereas, the true Christian joy is the peace of God (the Epistle in today's Mass, Phil. 4.7) which the Savior Himself brings: [our] hearts and minds in Christ Jesus Our Lord (ibid.) Who made them precisely for an intimate knowledge and perfect love of Him with all that we are and we have - verified by our not being conformed to this world [with its maxims, tastes, interests and preoccupations, vain and immodest fashion, etc.] (the Apostle St. Paul, Epistle to the Romans, 12.2).

Sin, which proceeds from the proud persistence in our errors, tears asunder our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus Our Lord and shatters the peace of God in our soul. We have 'happily' pretended, because God permitting it for a definite short span, that it is rather God Who must not offend our worldview, our plans and ambitions, our fancies, our sexual appetite, our own 'paradise', and our own comfortable 'order' of things. Now, the appointed time has already come for God to vindicate His Majesty and the honor of His Church - for God is not mocked (the Apostle St. Paul, Epistle to the Galatians, 6.7) - burning His proud enemies to ashes alive (cf., our post "Our Lady, Vatican II Disorientation, and the Annihilation of Many Nations") and establishing them forever in their hearts' desire of separation from Him: writhing in torments under Him in hell thus serving and submitting to Him still but in an un-ending chastisement - proclaiming His infinite Justice which the Neo-Catholic 'school' has denied: "there is no such thing as a Catholic God" (the 'Pontifex' with "Lingua Diabolica"). Indeed, the mountains and all the hills shall be made low: and the crooked shall become straight, and the rough ways plain (Is. 40.4) for behold the Lord God shall come with strength and His arm shall rule: behold His reward is with Him (ibid., v.10).

Deus Terribilis Est!

+
J.M.J.

Feast of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception



I will put enmities between thee and the Woman,
and thy seed and Her seed:
She shall crush thy head
(Gen. iii.15).

Behold, how the Word of God which divides humankind into two warring sides – the one marching under the banner of the Great Sign in heaven (cf., Apocalypse xii); the other under the banner of the blasphemous filthy queen of Sodomites – belies the most recent diabolical reflection of the pseudo-'theo'[logists] (cf., our post on the "New 'Catholic theologism': The Ultimate Delusion of Vatican IIpseudo-Catholicism") composing the so-called "International ['theo']logical Commission" of the "New" 'Catholic DisOrder' and which the bastard usurper-blasphemer Bergoglio (cf., our posts Virtutescaelorum... and "Lingua Diabolica") upholds thus: "Your reflection bears witness that God's revelation truly constitutes Good News for all humanity" which 'good news' is that "God is not a threat for humankind" (Zenit News, 6th December 2013) so that "faith [in his idol - a "(non-)Catholic God" (cf., our post Estote Sapientes)]... can never be a source of violence or intolerance" (ibid.). Therefore, the anti-pope’s program – in fact, the ‘ecumenical’ perversion of Vatican II (cf., our post “SacerdotesDaemoniorum”) – of “dialogue with other cultures,” for which he called on his ‘theologistic experts’ – the members of the ITC – to be “pioneers” is also condemned for the program and orientation revealed by the “Catholic God” is bringing into captivity every understanding unto the obedience of Christ (St. Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, Second Epistle, x.5) to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded(the Sovereign Lord and Master Jesus Christ in the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, xxviii.20) so that they who, in their pride, believe not shall be condemned (the same Sovereign Lord and Master in the Holy Gospel according to St. Mark, xvi.16), thrust down to hell (the Sovereign Judge in the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, x.15). He shall judge among nations... He shall crush the heads in the land of many (Ps. cix.6). The Immaculata warned us at Fatima: “MANY nations will be annihilated…” (cf., our post “Our Lady, Vatican II Disorientation, and the Annihilation ofMANY Nations”) as the true-God-of-both-mercy-and-justice revealed: Just as in the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all: even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed (in the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke, xvii.29-30). Who says that the true God could never threaten humankind? Only those who have the “lingua diabolica!”

Rather fear Him [Who] can destroy both body and soul in hell!
(the Holy Gospel according to St. Matt. x.28)

Tu terribilis Es; et quis resistet Tibi? 
[Thou art terrible; and who (has the gall) to resist Thee?]
(Ps. lxxv.8)

If anyone preach to you a Gospel besides that which you have received,
“anathema sit!”
(St. Paul the Apostle to the Galatians, i.9)

A most blessed Feast to everyone!

"Virtutes caelorum movebuntur."

+
J.M.J.

First Sunday of Advent



The powers of heaven shall be moved (from today's Holy Gospel, Lk. 21.25-33). Most certainly, this passage does not refer to the celestial hierarchy in perfect union with the King of kings and Lord of lords for there's nothing more which could move them away, not even by the smallest degree, from their being eternally confirmed in their loving adherence by a most complete subordination to God. The heaven referred to is God's kingdom on earth: the Church founded by the Lord and Savior on Cephas and who have the legitimate successors of the Apostles (cf., Acts 1.24-26), the episcopoi (that is, the bishops), placed by the Holy Ghost to rule it (cf., Ac. 20.28) - so that the powers Our Lord speaks of refer to these rulers.

When the disoriented Neo-Catholic Vatican stunned the world with the "Declaratio" of the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, the impression purported was that it was of the Pope's own free will. We maintained that it was due to the heightening pressure exerted by the Roman gay-lobby (cf., our post "'Pontifex' Succumbs to the Roman Gay Lobby"). Now, thanks to a carefully verified intimate source of extraordinary worth, we learned that the Pope was forced to announce "gladly" but not "WILLINGLY" (cf., the renunciation of a "ministry" but not of the office in our post Saggitam Electam) a 'resignation' when there was no way for him drinking, as the 'incumbent' holder of the title 'Pontifex' did, the filthy potion on the 'rainbow'-colored platter presented by the 'ecumenical' Cardinals "sixty percent of whom are homosexuals [who take in male prostitutes in "Domus Sanctae Marthae"], and of the remaining forty percent mostly Freemasons [who are the patrons of those faggots in ecclesiastical trappings and their diabolical perversions within] and 'Liberals'." In light of this, we affirm that the conclave which elected Bergoglio to occupy the Chair was illegitimate, the 'election' a farce, and Bergoglio a bastard usurper* to provoke God to His Face with his grossly appalling sacrileges (cf., our post "Desacralization") and blasphemies (cf., our posts "Lingua Diabolica", Estote Sapientes, "Desacralization" and his latest "[Diabolical] Exhortation" of 26th November). "In the eyes of God, Benedict XVI is still the Pope [the "Gloria Olivae" of St. Malachy]."

"Stir up Thy power, we beseech Thee, Lord, and come: that... we may deserve to be rescued... 
and saved by Thy deliverance..."
("Collect" of the Holy Mass)

Feast of our holy Father John of the Cross, one of the great Doctors of the Church
and co-reformer of Saint Teresa of Jesus


... The abomination of desolation 
(from today's Holy Gospel, Mt. 24.13-25)

ALL sins are hateful in the sight of God; but the sin of blasphemy ought more properly to be called an abomination to the Lord. Every mortal sin, as the Apostle says, dishonours God. By transgression of the law, thou dishonourest God (Rom. ii. 23). Other sins dishonour God indirectly by the violation of his law; but blasphemy dishonours Him directly by the profanation of His most holy Name. Hence St. Chrysostom teaches, that no sin exasperates the Lord so much as the sin of blasphemy against His adorable Name. ”Nihil ita exacerbat Deum, sicut quando nomen ejus blasphematur."

On the great enormity of the sin of blasphemy.

What is blasphemy? It is the uttering of language injurious to God; it is, according to the definition of theologians, "contumeliosa in Deum locutio ;" or, contumely against God. God! Whom does man assail when he blasphemes? He directly attacks the Lord. He hath strengthened himself against the Almighty. (Job. xv. 25.) Are you not afraid, blasphemer, says St. Ephrem, that fire will come down from heaven and devour you? or that the earth shall open and swallow you up?”Non metuis ne forte ignis de coelo descendat et devoret te, qui sic os adversus omnipotentem aperis? Neque vereris, ne terra te ab- sorbeat?" (Paren. 3.) The devil, says St. Gregory Nazianzen, trembles at the name of Jesus: and we are not afraid to profane it. ”Domones ad Christi nomen exhorrescunt, nos vero nomen adeo venerandum contumelia afficere nou veremur." (Orat. xx.) The vindictive assail a man who is their own equal; but, by their blasphemies blasphemers appear to seek revenge against God, who does or permits what is displeasing to them. There is a great difference between an act of contempt towards the portrait of a king, and an insult offered to his person. Man is the image of God; but the blasphemer offends God Himself. ”He who blasphemes” says St. Athanasius, ”acts against the very Deity itself." The man who violates the law is guilty of a crime; but he who attacks the person of his sovereign commits an act of treason; therefore he receives no mercy, but is chastised with the utmost severity. What, then, shall we say of the man who blasphemes and insults the majesty of God? If, says the high-priest Heli, one man shall sin against another, God may be appeased in his behalf; but if a man shall sin against the Lord, who shall pray for him? (1 Kings ii. 25.) The sin of blasphemy, then, is so enormous, that the saints themselves appear not to have courage to pray for a blasphemer.

Some sacrilegious tongues blaspheme the God who preserves their existence!”Tu Deo benefacienti tibi," says St. Chrysostom, ”et tui curam agenti maledicis." O God! you stand with one foot at the gate of hell; and if God, in His mercy, did not preserve your life you should be damned for ever: and, instead of thanking Him for His goodness, you, at the very time that He bestows His favours upon you, blaspheme His holy Name. If, says the Lord, my enemy hath reviled Me, I would verily have borne with it. (Ps. liv. 13.) Had you treated Me with contumely and insult at the time that I chastised you, I would be more willing to bear with your impiety; but you revile Me at the time that I confer My favours upon you. Diabolical tongue! exclaims St. Bernardine of Sienna, what could have induced you to blaspheme your God, who has created you, and redeemed you with his blood? "O lingua diabolica, quid, potest te inducere ad blasphemandum Deus tuum qui te plasmavit, qui te pretioso sanguine redemit?" (Serm. xxxiii.) Some expressly blaspheme the Name of Jesus Christ of that God Who died on a cross for the love of them. God! if we were not subject to death, we should be glad to die for Jesus Christ, in order to make some little return of gratitude to a God who gave His life for us. I say, a little return of gratitude; for there is no comparison between the death of a miserable creature, and the death of a God. But instead of loving and blessing this God, you, as St. Augustine says, revile and curse Him. ”Christ was scourged by the lash of the Jews; but He is not less scourged by the blasphemies of false Christians." (S. Aug. in Joan.) Some have blasphemed and insulted the Virgin Mary, that good Mother, who loves us so tenderly, and prays continually for us. Some of these blasphemers have received a horrible chastisement from God. Surius relates, in the 7th August, that a certain impious Christian blasphemed the blessed Virgin, and pierced Her image with a dagger. As soon as he went out of the church to which the image belonged, he was struck by a thunderbolt, and reduced to ashes. The infamous Nestorious blasphemed, and induced others to blaspheme, most holy Mary, by asserting that She was not the mother of God [the 'Pontifex of the Neo-Catholic DisOrder of Vatican II claimed: "There is no such thing as a Catholic God" and identified his pseudo-Christ as "the Son of God... incarnate in souls to intsill in them the feeling of brotherhood," cf., in our post Estote Sapientes]. But, before death, his impious tongue was eaten away by worms, and he died in despair.

Who is this who speaketh blasphemies? (Luke v. 21.) He is a Christian who has received the holy sacrament of baptism, in which his tongue has been in a certain manner consecrated to God. A learned author says, that on the tongue of all who are baptized is placed blessed salt , ”that the tongues of Christians may be made, as it were, sacred, and may be accustomed to bless God." (Clericat. torn. 1. Dec. Tract. 52.) And the blasphemer afterwards makes his tongue, as St. Bernardine says, a sword to pierce the heart of God. “Lingua blasphemantis efficitur quasi gladius cor Dei penetrans." (Tom. 4. serm. xxxiii.) Hence the saint adds that no sin contains in itself so much malice as the sin of blasphemy. ”Nullum est peccatum quod habet in se tantem iniquitatem sicut blasphemia." St. Chrysostom says, that”there is no sin worse than blasphemy; for in it is the accumulation of all evils, and every punishment." St. Jerome teaches the same doctrine. ”Nothing," says the holy doctor, ”is more horrible than blasphemy; for every sin, compared with blasphemy, is small." (In Isa. cxviii.) And here it is necessary to observe, that blasphemies against the saints, against holy things or holidays such as the sacraments, the Mass, Easter Sunday, Christmas Day, Holy Saturday are of the same species as blasphemies against God; for St. Thomas teaches, that, as the honour paid to the saints, to holy things, and holidays, is referred to God, so an insult offered to the saints is injurious to God, who is the foundation of sanctity. ”Sicut Deus, in sanctis suis laudatur," as we read in the 150th Psalm, "laudate Dominum in sanctis ejus, ita et blasphemia in sanctos in Deum redundat." (S. Thom, qu. 13, a 1 3, a 1, ad 2.) The saint adds, that blasphemy is one of the greatest of the sins against religion. (Ibid. a. 3.)

Thus, from the works of St. Jerome we may infer, that blasphemy is more grievous than theft, than adultery, or murder. All other sins, says St. Bernardine proceeds from frailty or ignorance; but the sin of blasphemy proceeds from malice. ”Omnia alia peccata vindentur procedere partim ex fragilitate, partim ex ignorantia, sed peccatum blasphemia procedit ex propria malitia." (Cic. serm. xxx.) For it proceeds from a bad will, and from a certain hatred conceived against God. Hence the blasphemer renders himself like the damned, who, as St. Thomas says, do not now blaspheme with the mouth for they have no body, but with the heart, cursing the divine justice which punishes them. ”The detestation of the divine justice is in them an interior blasphemy of the heart." (S. Thom. 2, 2, qu. 13, a. 4.) The Saint adds, that we may believe that as the saints in heaven, after the resurrection shall praise God with the tongue, so the reprobates in hell shall also blaspheme Him with the tongue. ”Et credibile est quod post resurrectionem erit in eis etiam vocalis blasphemiæ sicut in sanctis vocalis laus Dei." Justly, then, has a learned author called blasphemy the language of hell; because, as God speaks by the mouth of the saints so the devil speaks by the mouth of blasphemers. ”Blasphemia est peccatum diabolicum, loquela infernalis: sicut enim Spiritus Sanctus loquitur per bonos ita et diabolus per blasphemos." (Mansi. Discors, 7, num. 2.) When St. Peter denied Christ in the Palace of Pilate, and swore that he did not know him, the Jews said, that his language showed that he was a disciple of Jesus, because he spoke the language of his Master. Surely, they said, thou also art one of them; for even thy speech doth discover thee. (Matt. xxvi. 73.) Thus we may say to every blasphemer: You are from hell; you are a true disciple of Lucifer; for you speak the language of the damned. St. Antonine writes, that the entire occupation of the damned in hell consists in blaspheming and cursing God. ”Non aliud apus inferno exercent nisi blasphemare Deum et maledicere." (Part 2, tit. 7, cap. iii.) In proof of this doctrine the Saint adduces the following text of the Apocalypse: ”And they gnawed their tongues for pain: and they blasphemed the God of heaven." (Apoc. xvi. 10, 11.) The holy doctor afterwards adds, that he who indulges in the vice of blasphemy, already belongs to the number of the damned, because he practises their art. ”Qui ergo hoc vitio detinetur ostendit se pertinere ad statum damnatorum, ex quo exercet artem eorum." (Ibid.)

To the malice of blasphemy is added the malice of scandal, which generally accompanies blasphemy; for this sin is ordinarily committed externally and in presence of others. St. Paul reproved the Jews, because by their sins they caused the Gentiles to blaspheme our God, and to laugh at His law. For the name of God, through you, is blasphemed by the Gentiles. (Rom. ii. 24.) But how much more criminal are Christians, who, by their blasphemies, induce other Christians to imitate their example! How does it happen, that in certain provinces blasphemies are never, or at least very seldom, heard, and that in other places this horrible vice is so prevalent, that the Lord may say of them: My Name is continually blasphemed all the day long." (Isa. Iii, 5.) In the squares, houses, cities, villas, nothing is heard but blasphemies. How does this happen? Some of the inhabitants learn to blaspheme from others: children from their parents, servants from their masters, the young from the old. In some families particularly the vice of blasphemy seems to be transmitted as an inheritance. The father is a blasphemer; hence, the sons and nephews blaspheme: to this inheritance their descendants succeed. O accursed father! Instead of instructing your children to bless the name of God, you teach them to blaspheme him and his saint. ”But I reprove them when they blaspheme in my presence." Of what use are these reproofs, when with your own mouth you give them bad example. For God’s sake, for God’s sake, O fathers of families, never blaspheme; but be particularly on your guard never to blaspheme in presence of your children. This is a crime which God can no longer bear in you. And whenever you hear any of your children utter a blasphemy, reprove them severely, and, in obedience to the advice of St. Chrysostom, strike him on the mouth, and you shall thus sanctify your hand. ”Contere os ipsius, manum tuam percussione sanctificat." (Hom. i. ad pop.) Certain fathers unmercifully beat a child for the neglect of some temporal business; but if he blaspheme the Saints, they either laugh at his blasphemies, or listen to them in silence. St. Gregory relates (Dial. 4., cap. xvii.), that a child of five years, the son of a Roman noble man, was in the habit of profaning the name of God. The father neglected to correct him; but he one day saw his son pursued by certain black men. The child ran to embrace his father; but they, who were so many devils, killed him in the father's arms, and carried him with them to hell.

On the great rigour with which God punishes the sin of blasphemy.

Woe to the sinful nation... they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel. (Isa. i. 4.) Woe to blasphemers, eternal woe to them: for, according to Tobias, they shall be condemned. They shall be condemned that blaspheme thee. (Job xiii. 16.) The Lord has said by the mouth of Job, Thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers; thy own mouth shall condemn, and not I. (Job xv. 5, 6.) In pronouncing the sentence of their condemnation, God will say: It is not I that condemn you to hell; it is your own mouth, with which you have dared to revile Me and My Saints, that condemns you. Poor miserable blasphemers! They shall continue to blaspheme in hell for their greater torment: their very blasphemies in hell shall always remind them that they are damned for ever in punishment of their blasphemies on earth.

But blasphemers are punished not only in hell, but even on this earth. In the Old Law they were stoned by the people. And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die; all the multitude shall stone him. (Lev. xxiv. 76.) In the New Law they were condemned to death by the Emperor Justinian. St. Louis, King of France, ordered them to be punished by perforating their tongue, and by branding their forehead with a red hot iron; and when they afterwards relapsed into blasphemy, he ordained that they should die on the scaffold. (Homo Bon. de cas. res. p. 2, c. i.) Another author says, that the law renders blasphemers (as being infamous) incapable of giving testimony. (Navarr. cons. 11, de offic. ord.) By the constitution of Gregory the Fourteenth, they were deprived of Christian burial. In the "Authentica ut non luxur hom.," it is said that blasphemies bring on famine, earthquakes, and pestilence. ”Propter blasphemias, et fames, et terræmotus et pestilentia fiunt." You, O blasphemer, complain that though you labour and submit to fatigue, you are always in poverty. You say: ”I know not why I am always in misery: some malediction must have fallen on my family." No; the blasphemies which you utter are the cause of your wretchedness, and make you always an object of God’s malediction.

O! how many melancholy examples could I mention of blasphemers who have died a bad death. Father Segneri relates, (Tom. 1, Rag. 8,) that, in Gascony, two men who had blasphemed the blood of Jesus Christ, were soon after killed in a quarrel, and torn to pieces by dogs. In Mexico, a blasphemer being once reproved, answered: ”I will hereafter blaspheme more than I have hitherto done." During the night he found his tongue sowed under the palate, and died in that miserable state without giving the least sign of repentance. Dresselius relates, that a certain person was struck blind in the very act of blaspheming. Another, in uttering a blasphemy against St. Anthony, was seized by a flame which issued from the image of the saint, and was burnt alive. In his book against blasphemy, Sarnelli relates, that in Constantinople, a man called Simon Tornaco, who had blasphemed God, began like a mad dog to lacerate his own flesh, and died in his madness. Canta- pratensis states (cap. xlviii.), that a person who had been guilty of blasphemy, had his eyes distorted, and that falling on the ground he bellowed like an ox, and continued to roar aloud until he expired. In the Gallician Mercury (lib. x.) we read that a man named Michael, who had been condemned to be hanged, when he felt the pain of the halter, burst out into blasphemies, and died instantly. After death his head fell from the body, and the tongue remined hanging out from the neck, as black as coal. I abstain from fatiguing you with other terrible examples: you can find a great many of them in the work of Father Sarnelli against blasphemy.

But to conclude. Tell me, blasphemers, if there be any of you present, what benefit do you derive from your accursed blasphemies? You do not receive pleasure from them. Bellarmine says, that blasphemy is a sin which produces no pleasure. You derive no profit from them; for, as I have already said, your blasphemies are the cause of your poverty and wretchedness. You derive no honour from them; your fellow- blasphemers have a horror of your blasphemies, and call you a mouth of hell. Tell me, then, why you blaspheme. "Father, the habit which I have contracted is the cause of my blasphemies." But can this habit excuse you before God? If a son beat his father, and say to him: ”My father, have compassion on me: for I have contracted a habit of beating you :" would the father take pity on him? You say that you blaspheme through the anger caused by your children, your wife, or your master. Your wife or your master put you into a passion, and you take revenge on the saints. What injury have the saints done to you? They intercede before God in your behalf, and you blaspheme them. But”the devil tempts me at that time." If the devil tempts you, follow the example of a certain young man, who, when tempted to blaspheme, went for advice to the Abbot Pemene. The abbot told him, that as often as the devil tempted him to commit this sin, his answer should be: Why should I blaspheme that God who has created me, and bestowed so many benefits upon me? I will forever praise and bless him. The young man followed the advice, and Satan ceased to tempt him. When you are excited to anger, can you speak nothing but blasphemies? Say on such occasions: "Accursed sin, I hate thee: Lord, assist me: Mary, obtain for me the gift of patience." And if you have hitherto contracted the abominable habit of blaspheming, renew every morning, as soon as you rise, the resolution of doing violence to yourself to abstain from all blasphemies during the day: and then say three Aves to most holy Mary, that she may obtain for you the grace to resist every temptation by which you shall be assailed. - A sermon of St. Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and another great Doctor of the Church.

A most blessed Feast to everyone!

"Mustard-Seed"

+
J.M.J.

26th Sunday after Pentecost



From you was spread abroad the word of the Lord… in every place, your Faith, which is towards God, is gone forth (from the Epistle, 6th Sunday after Epiphany, 1 Thess. 1.2-10)

The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard-seed, which is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater that all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and dwell in the branches thereof (from the Holy Gospel, 6th Sunday after Epiphany, Mt. 13.31-35)

The one true divine Religion which has God for its author and perfecter (Heb. 12.2) is called “Catholic” because, as St. Augustine says, “diffused by the splendor of one Faith [Eph. 4.5] from the rising to the setting sun [cf., Mal. 1.11].” And of the one true Church professing the one true divine Religion: “Unlike states of human institution, or the sects of heretics, she is not confined to any one country or class of men, but embraces within the amplitude of her love all mankind… Therefore it is written: Thou… hast redeemed us to God, in Thy Blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, and hast made us to our God a kingdom [Apoc.  5.9,10]. Speaking of the Church, David says: Ask of me and I will give Thee the Gentiles for Thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession [Ps. 2.8]…” (The Roman Catechism or The Catechism of the Council of Trent).

“Moreover,” continues the same Catechism, “to this Church belong all the faithful who have existed from Adam to the present day, or who shall exist, in the profession of the true Faith, to the end of time; all of whom are founded and raised upon the one corner-stone, Christ, who made both one, and announced peace to them that are near and to them that are far.” She is “also called universal because all who desire eternal salvation must cling to and embrace her, like those who entered the ark to escape perishing in flood… This [note of catholicity], therefore, is to be taught as a most reliable criterion, by which to distinguish the true from a false Church [a pseudo-Church].”

“Universal because all who desire eternal salvation must cling to and embrace her…” But the “New” ‘Catholic’ DisOrder claims: “The churchES [this is belied by the Eternal Word: I will build My church (Mt. 16.18) – not “churches”!] and separated communities, although we once believed that they suffered from deficiencies [No! True Catholics take exception for it is of Apostolic teaching that they are sects of perdition (2 Pet. 2.1)], are not totally deprived of importance and value in the mystery of salvation. THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST [that is, the pseudo-Christ of the ‘Pontifex’ who, he claims, was “incarnate in souls to infuse the feeling of brotherhood” (1st Oct interview with the Italian “La Reppublica” and quoted also by the “L’Osservatore Romano”; cf., our post Estote Sapientes and "The True God - The Catholic God") – the “New” ‘Christ’ of the Neo-Catholic creed or the “New” ‘Catholic theologism’ (cf., “The Ultimate Delusion ofVatican II ‘Catholicism’”):  the reason why a “New” Rite of ‘worship’ had to be, to quote Card. Ratzinger later Pope Benedict XVI, “fabricated”] DOES NOT REFUSE TO USE THEM AS MEANS OF SALVATION, through the strength deriving from the fullness of grace and truth which has been conferred on the Catholic Church [the Church is thereby “deprived of its essential unity,” explains Fr. Paul Kramer, “… united by some essential bond of communion with the (false) religions, and therefore distinguished from them not by essence but by degree” (The Suicide of Altering the Faith in the Liturgy, 43)!], thus Vatican II proclaims (“Unitatis Redintegratio”), the Neo-Catholic ‘Catechism’ (n. 819) proposes, and ‘Blessed’ John Paul II reiterated (“Ut unum sint,” 10).

“…Distinguish the true from a false Church.” In calling the sects of perdition “churches” (Vatican II document “Unitatis Redintegration” quoted above), the “New” ‘Catholic’ DisOrder inaugurated by the perverted Second Vatican Council betrays itself as that false or pseudo-Church – just as ‘Protestantism’ was a false or pseudo-Christianity (cf., our post “Anti-Christian Conspiracy: Scriptural Truthand Historical Fact”) – the putrid bastard seeds of which were sown in seminaries and monasteries in the 1930s (cf., our post “The Year 1929”): putting itself on equal footing with them. The regime of Msgr. Fellay of the Neo-SSPX has contributed to this “diabolical disorientation” with a false ecclesiology: mistaking the Church with its conquerably ubiquitous institutions.


The Holy Church has now been reduced to a mustard-seed – to the remnant (Is. 37.32) inhabiting the mountains (Mt. 24.16), the eagles gathered together… wheresoever the Body shall be (Mt. 24.28) – yet still scattered throughout the world professing the same Faith of the Apostolic Tradition, worshipping the true “Catholic God” of both mercy AND JUSTICE professed only in the same traditional Rite of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and united with the same “hierarchical subordination by true obedience to the SUMMUS Pontifex [crowned with the Papal tiara as the Sovereign Vicar of the King of kings and Lord of lords]” through a truly Catholic bishop (cf., “Catholic Resistance”): purified, readied to be sown in their own [purified] fields (Jer.  23.2) – these good figs… I will bring them again into this land: and I will build them up… and I will plant them (Jer.  24.5,6) – during the “period of peace” promised by Our Lady of Fatima for the last measure of increase required for filling the empty places in Heaven.

"Now My Turn" - "Eternal Face to Face"

+
J.M.J.T.

Feast of All the Saints of the Order


Draw me and we will run (Cant. 1.3)… “until the shadows having disappeared [we] may be able to tell You of [our] Love in an Eternal Face to Face” (St. Therese, “Act of Oblation to Merciful Love”).

Draw me… “The Most Holy Virgin [of Carmel] alone,” says St. Francis de Sales, “was the first to be drawn by the Heavenly Spouse to consecrate and dedicate Herself totally to His service.” 

We will run. “But,” continues the holy Doctor, “as soon as She was drawn She drew a host of souls who offered themselves [as a most pleasing oblation] to God, to advance under Her sacred protection” in the observance of a perfect intimacy with Her Beloved Crucified possible in this exile – quenching the “heavenly Fiance’s thirst” (St. Therese, in her letters, 98): My child, give Me thy heart (Pr. 23.26). Ever since Our Glorious Immaculate Queen Beauty of Carmel led the way it has always been filled with souls who come to follow after Her standard, striving under the authority of this most tender yet most zealous Patron, Doctor, and Mother of Carmel against all kinds of enemies for the glory of the Name of Her Crucified: zelo zelatus sum pro Domino Deo exercituum, as the Prophet Elias declared on Mount Carmel which has since then become part of the coat of arms of Carmel.

“Until the shadows having disappeared…” Thus how they lived, they did not seek joy, delight, pleasure, and consolation save in pursuing, most perfectly adhering to, and accomplishing the beatings of the Heart of their Beloved – His loving and saving designs so opposed to the “New DisOrder” of things in the apostate 'Modernist' world (dominated by Masonic ‘dumbies’ of the Synagogue of Satan, Apoc. 2.9; 3.9) and even in His very own vineyard (that has become the den, as it were, of the revolutionary ‘dumbies’ of the Synagogue – cf., our post “The Year 1929” – clearly “prefigured,” cf., 1 Cor. 10.6, in the Book of Lamentations of the Prophet  Jeremias) built on “The Rights of Man”. “Joys in which everything created, which is nothing, gives room for the Uncreated, Which is Reality” (St. Therese, in her letters, 116).  

“To tell You of [our] Love in an Eternal Face to Face.” The Saints used to express that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass – the Traditional Latin Mass; not the “New ‘M[e]ss’” designed by a Freemason with his six Protestant ‘observers’ and presented by ‘Pope Paul VI’ in his original “General Instructions [on the New Rite of M(e)ss]” as the Protestant “Lord’s Supper” – is our heaven here on earth. True enough for this, the Catholic “Beatific Vision”, is what the truly* Catholic priest teaches us by his traditional position and orientation in adoring, worshipping, and serving God at His high altar: standing and talking to God facie ad faciem (face to face, as with the intimate friend of God – Moses – on the summit of Sinai: And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to speak to his friend, Ex. 33.11). What a most blessed privilege in heaven for those who love God with all – no reservations, no compromises even with the minutest one for in heaven there is no “saint by halves” (St. Therese, Story of a Soul, Ch. I) - their mind, heart, soul, and strength!
---
* Not the bastard ‘ecumenical’ pastors ordained according to the New Rite, cf., our post Sacerdotes daemoniorum; not the Sedevacantists, for they are just as equally ‘mutant’, cf., our post "Against Sedevacantism II", as the bastard ‘ecumenical’ pastors of the New ‘Catholic’ DisOrder; and not the compromised: under the “Ecclesia Dei” Commission of the Disoriented Neo-Catholic Vatican and the loyalists of the subtly-dissimulating Fellayite regime of Neo-SSPX who accept the “bastard” (Abp. Lefebvre), “tampered” (Pope John Paul II) and “fabricated” (Card. Ratzinger)-“outbalanced” (Pope Benedict XVI) “New ‘Mass’” to have been “legitimately promulgated.”
---

Holy Church prays with Carmel today that we may profit by the examples and merits of the Saints of “the Order of the Virgin” (Our Lord to St. Teresa of Jesus, Soliloquies) – “living for God alone in meditation of the yoke of His law [to wit: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God  with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole strength, and with thy whole mind: the greatest and the first commandment, Lk. 10.27; Mt. 22.37; and, that you love one another, as I have loved you, Jn. 13.34] and in perfect abnegation…” (Collect of the Mass) so that “one day,” according to our dear “Little Therese,” “ a grateful God will cry out:  Now, My turn “ – in that “the eye of man,” continues our same dear “Little Therese” and borrowing from the words of St. Paul the Apostle, “has not seen the uncreated light, his ear has not heard the incomparable harmonies, and his heart cannot have any idea of what God reserves for those [that love Him and] whom He loves” (in her letters, 94).

“…Going to Paradise? I do not count on the illness, it is too slow a leader. I count only on Love. Ask Good Jesus that all the prayers being offered for me may serve to increase the Fire which must consume me… 

[And now] I see [the “Catholic God”] I believed.
I possess what I hoped for.
I am united to Him Whom I loved
With all my power of loving”
- St. Therese
(in her letters, 242, 245)

“Try to convince [yourselves] that instead of losing [us] you will find [us], and that [we] will no longer leave you” (St. Therese in a letter to Fr. Belliere, 258). To the Filipino faithful then who have lost passing things (loved ones, goods and possessions) due to the calamities which pleased God to allow to purify you, if you have striven to please, love and serve our true God more than anything else – giving Him the primacy in all your considerations, concerns, and affairs – and directed to the same your loved ones and everything God has given you, they should not be lost but safe in the hands of God. “I am not dying, I am entering into Life” (St. Therese in her letters, 244).

A most blessed Feast to all especially to those who have followed us!

May the Glorious and Immaculate Queen Beauty of Carmel, with St. Joseph – our special Father, Patron and Protector, and all Her Saints make the countenance of Her little Jesus to shrine and smile brightly on us all!

The Mark of God's Elect

+
J.M.J.

Twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost


Today’s Epistle (from the 5th Sunday after Epiphany, Col. 3.12-17), presents to us the ideal of the Christian life which is the distinctive mark of God’s elect: the duty of charity.

The spiritual life requires the use of so many means, calls for the exercise of so many virtues that care must be taken lest we become lost in details, forgetting the supernatural virtue of charity (that love flowing from the side of Christ to our hearts; not the natural inclination to something ‘good’ which even the wicked are still capable of) which should be the foundation and end of all. Of what value is the spiritual life, consecration to God, or even the vows of religion, if they do not help the soul to tend to the perfection of love manifested by the Crucified Lord and Master?

Consider the perfect love which the Apostle asks us to have for our neighbor: mercy, compassion, mutual forgiveness, and that love which leaves no room for divisions or dissensions, which overcomes strife and forgets offenses. This is long-suffering charity which makes every sacrifice and overcomes all difficulties in order to be in harmony with all, because we all form one mind, one heart, one spirit, one body in Christ. Fraternal charity of this kind is the surest guarantee of a spiritual life that is advancing toward sanctity.

The Holy Gospel  (Mt. 13.24-30) shows us the practical way to live this ideal. The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seed in his field. But… his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat. God has sown the good seed generously in His field, the world; He has sown grace and charity, and the desire for total Christ-like oblation, the ideals of an apostolic, religious, saintly life. But, in the midst of all this good, even in His own vineyard, the Catholic Church, the enemy comes to sow evil. Why does God permit this? To sift His servants – even Peter (cf., Lk. 22.31) – as we sift grain, to test them.

Now, more than ever, we are scandalized, seeing evil working its way even to the best places (cf., our post “A Perilous ‘Catholic’ Voyage” and “The Year 1929”) – the Chair of Peter on which the ‘incument president’ of the Neo-Catholic DisOrder claims, though not ex cathedra, that there is “no such thing as a Catholic God” (in our post Estote Sapientes); also, to the ‘SSPX chair’ on which the SG formally declared that the “bastard Mass” (Abp. Marcel Lefebvre; Pope John Pal II: “tampered liturgy” in our post “OurLady and the Diabolical Campaign”, and Card. Ratzinger: “fabricated liturgy” in Msgr. Gamber’s  “The Reform of the Roman Liturgy”, later as Pope Benedict XVI: “outbalanced liturgy – more a [Protestant‘fellowship’] celebration than worship”), the “New” ‘M[e]ss’ which is the worship of the idol of the ‘incumbent’ ‘Pontifex’, “was legitimately promulgated”  – seeing that even among God’s ‘best friends’, among those who should be the bastion of the truth – of orthodoxy – and source of edification to others, there are those who speak and behave unworthily and most shamefully. Then we are filled with zeal, like the servants in the parable. We want to remedy this evil and root up the cockle. Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? But God answers, No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it. The cockle is spared, not because it is good, but in order to save the wheat. In the same way God spares the wicked and does not destroy them, for the sake of the elect. When God asks us to endure with patience certain situations, as inevitable as they are deplorable, He asks for one of the greatest exercises of charity (as “CatholicResistance”). But one thing that is truly of the Catholic Christ – of the “Catholic God”: He does not tell us to ‘fraternize’ with evil – as the idol of the ‘incumbent’ ‘Pontifex’ and his Vatican II predecessors would “instill… the feeling of brotherhood” – to make a league with the cockle, but He tells us to endure it with the longanimity with which He Himself endured it. Was there not one who had the mind of Satan and another who was a traitor among the Apostles? Yet the Lord and Savior wanted them among His intimates – and with how much love He treated them that He did not spare them the severest rebukes!

Indeed one of the greatest opportunities for the practice of charity is offered us by those who by their evil conduct give us so many occasions for forgiving them, for returning good for evil, and for suffering injustice for the love of God. Moreover, we should consider that, whereas, cockle cannot be changed into wheat, it is always possible for the wicked to be converted and become good. Were not Magdalen, the good thief, and Peter, who had denied Jesus with swearings, coverted? 

When our love is perfect, we are able to live among the wicked without being harsh or contentious yet without being influenced by them!
