Teresian Carmelite Vocation Discernment: The Queenship of Mary

+

J.M.J.

Feast of the Queenship of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary

 "Blessed art thou, O Virgin Mary, who didst take thy stand beneath the Cross of the Lord" (Paschal Alleluia of today's Mass). It is through the Cross that the Lord and Saviour would reign - conquering and subduing the ancient infernal deceiver who conquered the Eve of Old on the wood of a tree [for having precipitated himself through pride into such state far worse than of an unruly beast in heat, he pretended to occupy still a higher position over man when even in a bestial nature he was found to be lower than a tiny ant possessing limbs and carrying its body above the level of dust]; so it is beneath the Cross of the Lord that the New Eve would reign with His Beloved Son crushing under Her feet the head (Gen. 3.15) of the conquered and subdued infernal serpent drinking his own filth and poison. And while the rest of the Apostles abandoned the Crucified (the head and prince of them all shamefully at the lead), ONLY ONE Apostle, conquering the fear of what man can do, remained with the Blessed Mother when the cause of the "Beloved" seemed to be all lost and foolish. This same spot beneath the "scandal" of the Crucified would be the lot of Teresian contemplative - souls with the eyes of an eagle (the divine symbol of St. John) in the care of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary "Regina Decor Carmeli" (the Queen Beauty of Carmel) who readily see and understand the burden of their Beloved by sheer Carmelite gaze and who would not be content by just standing by but urged by the promptings of the Immaculate Heart taking His stead.

'Pontifex' to the Catholic Christ: 'Thou art an embarrassment!'

Feast of the Ascension of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

The hour is come; glorify Thy Son...I have glorified Thee on earth, I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do (Jn. 17.1,4). But the Neo-‪Catholic‬ '‪Pontifex‬' (the Catholic ‪‎Pope‬ bears the title Pontifex Magnus for he is the Vicar of the King of kings and Lord of lords, Apoc. 19.16) ‪DENIES THE CHRIST before the leaders of the Synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2.9; 3.9): 'O Christ, Thou art an embarassment'...

The Cross just got accidentally tucked in? The only way it can possibly happen is for the 'Pontifex' to return to his upright position from having bended backwards but even then he's fat so his cincture in the form of a sash would not allow space. So he should prove to be such a wild jerk (his bad condition seen in the video report precludes this) and the Cross must be miraculous as to force itself to tuck in his tight cincture. But besides, a Franciscan Friar (top pic) in brown habit with white cord around his waist speaking with him must have told him - this only proves that his party RESPECTs rather, in the name of Vatican II 'ecumenism' (or religious harlotry), the anti-CHRISTian spirit of the the leaders of the Synagogue of Satan: "Any meeting with us, the Pope must hide his pectoral cross.'

This was not the first time the 'Pontifex' made a mockery of Christ by tucking his pectoral cross in his tight cincture - it was during his hosting a Jewry luncheon at the Vatican itself (the first time in history) last January (cf., our post "Neo-Catholic Schism'):

 

He that shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father Who Is in heaven (Mt. 10.33). He that shall be ashamed of Me, and of My words, before this adulterous and a sinful generation: the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when He shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels (Mk. 8.38). Neo-Catholic (Vatican II Novus Ordo) faithful, God denies that son of the devil in Papal trappings (why Bergoglio is an anti-pope and Benedict XVI is still the Pope, see the "Declaratio" of 'resignation' read by Pope Benedict XVI in our post "Saggitam Electam - I") - False apostles are deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11.13-14) - deny him your 'loyalty' and 'obedience': "Catholic Resistance".

Feast of St. Philip Neri

On the Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians (24th May),* the 'Pontifex' preached to the Moslem leaders of Jordan what the Chair of the Truth condemned ex cathedra: the Masonic 1789 Revolutionary "Rights of Man" proposition - "Religious freedom is in fact a fundamental human right and I cannot fail to express my hope that it will be upheld throughout the Middle East and the entire world. The right to religious freedom 'includes on the individual and collective levels the freedom to follow one’s conscience in religious matters and, at the same time, freedom of worship… [it also includes] the freedom to choose the religion which one judges to be true and to manifest one’s beliefs in public' (quoting "Ecclesia in Medio Oriente," 26 of Pope Benedict XVI)."
---
The Feast of Our Lady Help of Christians was instituted by Pope Pius VII when the Masonic French Revolution of 1789 ceased from laying violently again their filthy diabolical hands on the person of the Roman Pontiff (after what they did to Pope Pius VI) in their attempt to subvert the Christian Order laid down by the Papacy. They ceased for the heavy hands of God did not take long in avenging their crime against His faithful Vicar on earth.
---

The religion of the 'Pontifex' is not the Catholic Religion of Pope Pius IX who anathematized the Revolutionary 'religious liberty/freedom of conscience' of the diabolical Freemasonry: "Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Proposition 15 CONDEMNED in the "Syllabus of Errors" of 1864 - the French Revolution of the Masonic "Rights of Man" broke out in 1789). And again [consistent condemnation by the CATHOLIC occupants of the Chair of the Truth] in his Encyclical "Quanta cura" (1864):

"For you well know, venerable brethren, that at this time men are found not a few who, applying to civil society the impious and absurd principle of 'naturalism' [rejection of Original Sin: nothing wrong with human nature: therefore no need for Redemption of a 'fallen man', for the Catholic Church and her Sacraments: must logically lead to acceptance of homosexuality, the modern fad of 'civilized morality' - "[g]od made us this way:" the disorder and disorientation in them not really such as the traditional Catholic Theology teaches but rather 'good' for they were made that way by their 'luving-tender-'good' [g]od: why the 'Pontifex' claimed (in the Vatican's "L'Osservatore Romano" of 2nd Oct. 2013), "I believe... not in a Catholic God [who will condemn to the depths of hell those who practice homosexuality and they who consent to gays in flaunting their lifestyle and their filth]. There is no such thing as a Catholic God."], as they call it, dare to teach that 'the best constitution of public society and (also) civil progress altogether require that human society be conducted and governed without regard being had to religion any more than if it did not exist; or, at least, without any distinction being made between the true religion and the false ones'...

And, against the doctrine of Scripture, of the Church, and of the Holy Fathers, they do not hesitate to assert that 'that is the best condition of civil society, in which no duty is recognized, as attached to the civil power, of restraining by enacted penalties, offenders against the Catholic religion, except so far as public peace may require'...

From which totally false idea of social government they do not fear to foster that erroneous opinion, most fatal in its effects on the Catholic Church and the salvation of souls, called by Our Predecessor, Gregory XVI, an 'insanity,' viz., that 'liberty of conscience and worship is each man's personal right, which ought to be legally proclaimed and asserted in every rightly constituted society; and that a right resides in the citizens to an absolute liberty, which should be restrained by no authority whether ecclesiastical or civil, whereby they may be able openly and publicly to manifest and declare any of their ideas whatever, either by word of mouth, by the press, or in any other way'...

But, while they rashly affirm this, they do not think and consider that they are preaching 'liberty of perdition;' and that 'if human arguments are always allowed free room for discussion, there will never be wanting men who will dare to resist truth, and to trust in the flowing speech of human wisdom; whereas we know, from the very teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ, how carefully Christian faith and wisdom should avoid this most injurious babbling.'"

That the Rotarian 'Pontifex', on that very Feast, 'injuriously babble[d]' before the infidels one of those diabolical principles of the 'Rights of Man' propagated by those same Masonic revolutionaries of 1789 (who seized Pope Pius VI) against whom and their subtly deceptive diabolical machinations (under the sugar-coating of civic 'progress', 'equality'/'egalitarianism', and 'universal brotherhood' fabricated in the Masonic Lodges of today) Our Lady in Her title "Help of Christians" is invoked should be another clear manifestation that we actually have an anti-pope (see our post The powers of heaven shall be moved) - a precursor of the Antichrist one with the diabolical Lodge of the Freemasons and party to that great red dragon (see our post "The Great Sign in Heaven") at war with the Apocalyptic Woman (Apoc. 12.17). May Our Lady, Mary Help of Christians hasten the day of God's ultimate revenge of consummation by fire and brimstone against these enemies of the Crucified King of kings and Lord of lords (Apoc. 19.16) for the liberation of the true Catholic Church reduced to the Scriptural remnant and virtually back to the catacombs (FLEE to the mountains," Mt. 24.16; see, "Catholic Resistance, Not Disobedience").

"Religion pure and undefiled..."

Fifth Sunday after Easter

Be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves (from today's Lesson, James 1.22-27 - the Holy Catholic Douay-Rheims Bible): that is, he that doth the will of My Father Who Is in heaven (Mt. 7.21). The true Religion is a living of the divinely revealed Truth manifested with supernatural miracles (the motive of credibility missed by Islam and Protestantism which claim: by a book). Doers of the Word of Truth HEAR - not Protestant (BibleOnlySectarianism) READ: Faith cometh BY HEARING (Rom. 10.17).

If a man be hearer... and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass... forgetting what manner of man he was (v.23). In a glass, that is, a mirror. The Word of Truth, written or unwritten (the "paradoseis" or traditions of the NT Gk: 2 Thess. 2.14), is compared to a mirror for by presenting the ideal conduct meritorious of heaven, it reveals to the hearer his shortcomings, just as a mirror reveals one's untidiness or facial blemishes [those resemblances still to the devil].

Religion ["threskeia" of the NT Gk: observance of ceremonial cult - the true Christian Religion is therefore the perpetuation unto perfection (cf., Heb. 9.11) of the OT with its appointed ritual worship by sacrifices on an altar; why the Apostle Saint Paul claimed: We have an ALTAR (Heb. 13.10)] clean and undefiled before God... (v.27). Thus the "BibleOnly" sectarians and those who claim 'no-religion-but-only-personal-relationship-with-God' are refuted - they did not understand what religion is in its external profession necessary to engage man in submitting also his corporeal/material nature to God's absolute dominion!!

Religion clean and undefiled... to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: AND to KEEP ONESELF UNSPOTTED FROM THIS WORLD. (v.27). Thus the 'convenient Christianity' of 'BibleOnly' sectarians - 'Protestantism' - and the 'convenient Catholic Religion' - that is, the pseudo-Katoliko Church (cf., our post "The Year 1929") or the 'Novus Ordo' of Vatican II - are condemned, cf., our post "Dead Men Walking". Their 'charity' nothing but the 'luv' of a philanthropist.

Feast of St. Bernardine of Sienna

Apostle of the Most Holy Name of Jesus

Amen, I say to you, that you who have followed Me... you also shall sit... judging the twelve tribes of Israel (from today's Holy Gospel, Mt. 19.27-29). Behold, the true Roman Catholic priesthood is the perpetuation, indeed the perfection, of the Levitical priesthood of Old: And thou shalt come to the priests of the Levitical race... and thou shalt ask of them, and they shall shew thee the truth of the judgment. And thou shalt do whatsoever they shall say... and what they shall thee, according to his law: and thou shalt follow their sentence: neither shalt thou decline too the right hand nor to the left. But he that shall be proud, and refuse to obey the commandment of the priest... that man shall die (Deut. 17.9-12). Why they were arrayed in royal robes at the Traditional Latin Mass and minister to God (really present in the tabernacle) - not to the people by facing them! - in a sanctuary arranged like a royal court (not like to a Masonic Lodge or Protestant "BANQUET" hall!). The true Roman Catholic priest as a Levitical princely judge was refused and therefore repudiated by the "NEW 'Rite of Ordinations'" (which makes men Protestant democratic assembly-"presiders" even in the same Lutheran or Episcopalian 'Communion Service' attire - pic below: Episcopalians professing NO Real Presence of Christ but only a symbolic wafer-bread by 'communion' in unwashed unconsecrated hands - augusta.chronicle.org).

 No, not a Vatican II-'Church' 'ecumenical priest'...

An Episcopalian minister professing NO "Real Presence" of Christ - only a symbolic wafer-bread: distributing 'communion' in unwashed unconsecrated hands (chronicle.augusta.com)

To the Carmelite priestly vocations, may you choose the true Roman Catholic priesthood - absolute guarantee not only of valid Roman Catholic ordination but also of being acceptable in standing before the Face of God for MANY will say to Me in that day: Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name [at the pulpit], and cast out devils [at the Confessional and by exorcism], and done many miracles [at the Consecration] in Thy Name? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from Me, you that work iniquity! (Mt. 7.22-23). Contact us.

Fourth Sunday after Easter

Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights (from today's Lesson, Epistle of St. James, 1.17-21). Best gift, so thus the liturgy or the official public divine service by ritual sacrifices of Old could be described in relation to the official public divine service by the ritual Sacrifice on the Apostolic altar (Heb. 13.10) of the New Covenant. The Liturgy of Old served unto the example and shadow...of ... a greater and more perfect... divine service (Heb. 8.5; 9.11,1). Therefore are they, including especially the Popes infected with the Masonic 1789 Revolutionary principles of the so-called 'Rights of Man' - pre-figured (1 Cor. 10.6) as they were by the Prophet Isaias to be sick... head (1.5) - who carried out the revolutionary 'change' in the Sacred Liturgy veiled with Masonic 'renewal', 'progress with the times', and 'enrichment' especially with Talmudic Jewry, Lutheran, Anglican, Calvinist, and Pentecostal elements (as if this best and perfect work of the Holy Ghost Who is the finger of God suffered decrepitude and impoverishment!) belied and condemned.

... the Father of lights, with Whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration (v.17). Of lights, that is, the clergy of the Church are the true heavenly luminaries for they that are learned shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity (Dan. 12.3). The Father of lights, with Whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration instructs us that He will condemn the unbelievers - "the perfidious Jews" (the Missale Romanum), the Moslems, pagans, atheists, agnostics, the Masonic 'free-thinkers': He who believeth not... and bend not their knee (Phil 2.10) to serve and adore Jesus Christ King of kings and Lord of lords (Apoc. 19.16)... shall be condemned (Mk. 16.16) - and the heretical (as the 'Bible-only' fundamentalists) and schismatic (as the Greek Orthodox) sects of perdition (2 Pet. 2.1): He who is not with Me is against Me... He shall be cast forth as a branch and shall wither... and cast... into the fire and he burneth (Mt. 12.30; Jn. 15.6). But Pope John XXIII before the First Session of Vatican II, "Enough of condemnations!" The Father of lights, with Whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration: What concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever... (2 Cor. 6.15) and those who refuse to hear the Church... as heathens... (Mt. 18.17) [who] sacrifice to devils... And I would not that you should be made partakers with devils (1 Cor. 10.20). Thou shalt make no league with them... Neither shalt thou make marriages with them. Thou shalt not give thy daughter to his son, nor take his daughter for thy son: for she will turn away thy son from following Me, that he may rather serve strange gods, and the wrath of the Lord will be enkindled, and will quickly destroy thee (Deut. 7.3-4). And the heavenly luminaries until Vatican II on the Catholic ecumenism: Convert and return to the Catholic Church - the only ark of salvation! But Pope Paul VI and the 'bishops' and 'priests' to be created by his "tampered" (Pope John Paul II, in the Vatican's "L'Osservatore Romano," 7th Feb. 1981, cf., our post "Our Lady and the Diabolical Campaign") and "fabricated" (Card. Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, in the French ed. of Msgr. Gaber's Reform of the Roman Liturgy) "New 'Order' Ordinations" (see our post Priests for the devil): "We preach [the Masonic] ecumenism [of one-world 'church'/'religion': the Catholic Religion - on equal footing with the other (false) religions]"* (before the Lombard Seminarians in Rome; cf., our post "Our 'Great Reversal'") :

---
* Therefore, for its logical conclusion : the Catholic Religion is also a false religion and which conclusion should lead Neo-Catholics or the Vatican II-generation to atheism for how could the God of truth be the Father of contradictions - why the charlatan and the greatest jerk the Chair of Peter ever saw occupying it professed: "I believe... not in a Catholic God. There's no such thing as a Catholic God" ("L'Osservatore Romano," 2nd Oct. 2013; on the 'ecumenical idol' or the "New THEO..." who requires a "New Order of Worship", cf., our post "New 'Catholic Theology'": "The Ultimate Delusion of Vatican II-'Catholicism'")
---

The Father of lights does not change. The heavenly luminaries, because defectible by their created nature, let themselves be drawn by the tail of the great red dragon (see our posts The Great Sign in heaven, "The Year 1929", and "Upheaval") - but were not allowed, of course, to bind ex cathedra the Universal Church to their personal apostasy, though they managed to put up a subtly deceptive air of 'officiality' (see our post "In Virtue of OUR Apostolic Authority") in contradicting the "Catholic God." From being the lights of the Father, they let themselves be transformed as false lights for the devil - Go behind Me, Satan, thou art a scandal to Me: because thou savorest not the things of God, but the things that are of men (to the first Pope, in Mt. 16.23): Satan himself transformeth... into an angel of light (2 Cor. 11.14), and with this difference: the Father of lights begets His children by the Word of Truth (Jas. 1.18), written or by oral tradition (cf., 2 Thess. 2.14) and so they walk orderly according to the Tradition which they have received of Him through Our Lord and then through His Apostles (2 Thess. 3.6); whereas, the false lights of the ancient infernal deceiver gather for themselves children with 'truth' and 'validity and legitimacy' but by 'officiality' and institutional convenience - the same grounds now being offered by the perverted successor of the "Champion of Catholic Orthodoxy" in the post-Vatican II era, that is, the present Superior General of the mainstream-SSPX or the 'SSPX of pseudo-Church integration' - without the Word of Truth or with a distortion of It, subtly or even glaringly.

This post comes again with an adversative point. But since the Teresian Carmel is the Church's contemplative Order par excellence, the preponderance of the gifts and fruits of the Holy Ghost is what should move its fluttering sails. What can we do, dear followers and readers, except that we should breathe in and out the wind of this our good Lord and Master Who, when He comes, convinces of sin, and of justice, and of judgment (from today's Holy Gospel, Jn. 16.5-16): of sin - proud contradiction of God, consequence not just of unbelief but rather of apostasy;* of justice - loss by the carnally-minded of the friendship of God: thou savorest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men (Mt. 16.22) that is, prosperity, security and happiness of the Masonic earthly paradise or the Novus Ordo / the "New" world and Vatican II [dis]order; and, of judgment - condemnation not only of the prince of this world (Jn. 16.11) but also of the champions and adherents of his Novus Ordo or the "New Order" having their foreheads (their mind) and hands (their works) sealed with the sign of the Beast, that is, with a "New Order" of life-principle (the "New 'Catholic Theology'" as the consecration in Papal trappings of the Masonic 1789 Revolutionary principles of the "Rights of Man" or the "modern" errors consistently anathematized ex cathedra by the Summi Pontifices or the Sovereign Pontiffs - 'til Vatican II) channeled by the pseudo-Sacraments - "tampered" (Pope John Paul II, above) and "fabricated" (Card. Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, above) with "ineffective prayers" (Fr. Amorth, the Vatican's Chief Exorcist). as they were.
---
* "[Not in Rome] will... the dogma of the Faith be... always preserved, etc." - how the Great Sign in heaven ends Her Second Secret and introduces the Third Secret of Her "Great Fatima Message" contained in the "etc." which, of course, is but a detailed exposition of how the almost complete loss of the "dogma of the Faith" would come about starting from Rome; cf., "Our Lady and the Disorientation of Rome in the 1960's"
---

It was necessary that the Lord and Savior, by dying on the Cross, destroy sin - the great obstacle to the action of the Holy Ghost - and then, when He had ascended into heaven, He would send the Divine Paraclete Whom He merited by His Passion. The sending of the Holy Ghost to our souls is the principal fruit of the Passion of Our Lord. Since sin is the greatest obstacle to the outpouring of the Holy Ghost - the widespread homosexuality can never be the effect of the Vatican II propaganda of a 'New Pentecost' - sin must be destroyed, not only in its actual manifestations, but also in its deepest and most hidden roots. The chief purpose of the action of the Holy Ghost, the "Gift of God" par excellence, is to purify the soul and dispose it for union with the "Catholic God" - not to adulterate it with the ecumenical harlotry of Vatican II pseudo-Religion and so dispose it for a reunion with the devil.

Intimate Friendship With the "Catholic God"

J.M.J.

Feast of St. Simon Stock

Confessor of Our Order

The friendship of this world is the enemy of God. 

(Jas. 4.4) 

How could the boy Simon Stock, at such a young, tender age of 12 leave his family behind, renounce the pomps of the world, and spurn familiar things to retire in solitude in a hollow of a trunk of an oak tree seeking the company only of his God?

His age was the Middle Ages. That was a century of great Faith evidenced by the great generosity, by the great impetus of intense charity of the faithful for never perhaps have men made such great sacrifices to God so simply, so liberally, truly giving all - the century of contemplative souls renouncing all, giving all to God. Faith... worketh charity, teaches the Apostle St. Paul (Gal 5.6). A young century at that! The people just converted, gave themselves to God: their spontaneity, their generosity, had been supernaturalized. Since the Teresian Carmel is the Church's school of intimate friendship with our so generous a God Who hang on a Cross for the price of our redemption, very well did our holy Rule bore such characteristic and very well did our boy received this grace and charism of our holy Order. The Rule of Carmel prescribes "maneant singuli in cellulis suis" (Let each one remain in his cell... day and night...); therefore, the Rule conditions a great Faith in God and an intense charity: I will espouse thee to Me in Faith (Os. 2.20). Otherwise, how could one enclose oneself in a cell to live there in prayer, especially, silent prayer? Because he does it for God - "to be alone with Him Who Is alone" (St. Teresa of Jesus) or in St. Teresa's famous phrase, "[to enter into] intimate conversation with God Who we know loves us." How, if not for Him could one embrace what is so contrary to nature and reason? There in a Teresian Carmelite cell is our life, where we ought to live; there between those four walls, that is the only sphere where a Teresian Carmelite soul can expand, grow, and arrive unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ, as the Apostle St. Paul says (Eph. 4.13). Want to live then in the same sane Carmelite cell of St. Simon Stock, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Jesus, St. Therese of the Child Jesus where one's sole pre-occupation is a most tender and generous love, care and service of our dearest Little Jesus as our Blessed Mother is wont to give Her beloved Son - no TV, no radio, no mobile phone, no digital/electronic devices, no wi-fi, no worldly distractions as is the chaos in the 'modernist' post-Vatican II seminaries, monasteries, and convents?

You should have the grace of that same great supernatural Faith that makes the mind share with God's...

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory which overcameth the world: our Faith (1 Jn. 5.4).

I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the Word of God abideth in you [through the same TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC TEACHINGS taught and held until Vatican II; not the maxims and principles of the world], and you have overcome the wicked one (1 Jn. 2.14).

Be not conformed to this world (Rom. 12.2).

 ... And the same intense sacrificial supernatural Charity which expands and makes the heart love as God does

Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh and the concupiscence of the eyes and the pride of life, which is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passeth away and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God abideth for ever (1 Jn. 2.15-17).

Therefore if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.... You are not of this world but I have chosen you out of the world (Col 3.1-2; Jn. 15.19).

A blessed Feast to everyone!

Our Lord's absence in our sanctuaries (cf., our post "The Catholic Sanctuary - II") - expelled as He was by His own to make way for a new 'Christ' of the ecumenical fraternal 'luv' who knows no language of a most just wrath (cf., our post the "New 'Catholic'" theologism: The Ultimate Delusion of Vatican II") - will not drag on and on. This Abomination of Desolation will soon be over with the Immaculata making a most perfect clean-up for the grand royal return of the King of kings and Lord of lords (Apoc. 19.16) Whom the 'Pontifex' himself uncrowned by his renunciation and refusal of the Papal tiara!

"Where the [Catholic] bishop is, there the Church is." - St. Ignatius

...Neither was guile found in his mouth... (2 Pet. 2.22)

From the Voice of "Catholic Resistance": "Truth First"

His Lordship, Bp. R. Williamson

...Divine truth being prior to human teachers, then the fallibility of Popes need not concern us all that much because the true Faith is behind, beyond and above them. But here is a classic objection: the Truth in itself may be above them, but to us human beings it only comes through them – “faith is by hearing” (Rom.X, 17). Thus Our Lord entrusted to Peter (i.e. the Popes) the task of confirming his brethren in the faith (Lk.XXII, 31-32). So to us Catholics the teachers are prior to the Truth which we cannot receive without them. Moreover the Holy Ghost guides them (Jn.XVI, 13), so how can I possibly tell if or when he is not doing so ?

Also in Scripture lies the answer. St. Paul writes to a flock which he has instructed in the Faith: “Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.” And the point is so important that St Paul immediately repeats it: “As we said before, so now I say again: If anyone preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema” (Gal.I, 8-9)

But, a Galatian might have objected, why should we believe your gospel on your first visit to Galatia and not an eventually different one on your second ? St. Paul immediately gives a first reason: “ The gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ” (Gal.I, 11-12). And St Paul confirms this by narrating how little contact he had with those who might have taught him, the other Apostles, before he began preaching (I, 15-19), a fact obviously verifiable by them, and he swears to the Galatians that he is not lying (I, 20). A second reason he gives a little later, which is the miracles and experience of the Holy Spirit (III, 2-5) that the Galatians themselves had witnessed as the direct result of the preaching of Paul’s first visit.

Thus Paul proves that God both taught him, and confirmed for the Galatians, the gospel of that first visit, and the contradiction between it and any different gospel the Galatians would be not only able but also obliged to discern for themselves, if they wished to save their souls. And no matter if (I,8) the preacher of the different gospel were an angel or Paul himself – or a Pope ! – the Galatians would still have the absolute duty to stay with Paul’s first gospel. The truth that had been set before them (III,1) the Galatians had recognized and accepted it (III, 3), just as one recognizes that 2 and 2 are 4, so it would have priority over any teacher eventually contradicting it, whatever authority to teach he might appear to have (I,9).

Thus Archbishop Lefebvre used to say that for the 19 centuries between St Paul and Vatican II the Church had preached exactly the same gospel, coming from God and ever and again confirmed by him. That gospel is, as revealed by God, Revelation; as handed down by churchmen, Tradition; as taught with authority by the Church, its Ordinary and Extraordinary Magisterium. Between that gospel and Vatican II the contradiction is obvious, so we must accept and believe Tradition, if we wish to save our souls, whatever the apparent authorities of the Church may say to the contrary. So help us God. How then can the Archbishop’s own Society of St Pius X be officially seeking reconciliation with the authorities of Vatican II ?

Kyrie eleison.

"Where the [Catholic] bishop is, there the Church is." - St. Ignatius

From the Voice of Catholic Resistance...

His Lordship, Bp. Richard Williamson

In today’s disastrous state of Church and world there are, amongst others, two central principles in play, the one permanent and primary, the other temporary and secondary, but both are central. Their interplay should be decisive to guide our actions.

The permanent principle is that “Without faith it is impossible to please God” (Heb. XI, 6.). This is because all men come from God endowed with a free-will which they are meant so to use as to be able to go to God when they die, and enjoy the beatific vision of God for eternity. These obligatory terms of our earthly existence constitute an extremely generous offer on God’s part, given how relatively little is required on our part (Is. LXIV, 4), but the very least that we can do, a bare beginning, is to recognize His existence. Given the goodness of his Creation all around us, it is “inexcusable” not to recognize it (Rom. I, 20), and therefore without the most elementary faith in Him it is impossible to please Him.

The temporary principle is that the Shepherd is struck and the sheep are scattered (Zach.XIII, 7), text quoted by Our Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mt. XXVI, 31). After 4,000 years of man’s repeated decadence, God took a human nature to found a Church to enable men to save their souls for the last 2,000 years of men’s existence on this earth. For the first thousand of those years the decadence was seriously interrupted, but after a few more centuries it picked up again to the point that with Vatican II the very leaders of God’s own Church, the Popes on whom it was designed to depend, became seriously infected by the decadence. Thereupon it became much more difficult for men to see how God meant them to save their souls.

Therefore on the one hand, objectively speaking, the permanent truths of salvation have not been changed one little bit by the fall of the Conciliar Popes, and these truths must be maintained if any souls at all are still to be saved. It was Archbishop Lefebvre’s glory to uphold those truths against the fallen churchmen and world, while it is his successors’ disgrace to be compromising them for the sake of rejoining those churchmen and their world.

On the other hand, subjectively speaking, that disgrace is mitigated by the temporary eclipse of those great truths, due to the fall of the Popes. It is not easy even for bishops to see straight when the Bishop of Rome is seeing crooked. It follows that those who by the grace of God – and by nothing else – see straight, must have a 360-degree compassion for souls caught in a confusion not entirely their own fault. Therefore, it seems to me, if James is convinced that to save his soul he must stay in the Newchurch, I need not hammer him to get out of it. If Clare is persuaded that there is no grave problem within the Society of St Pius X, I need not ram down her throat why there is. And if John can see no way to keep the Faith without believing that the See of Rome is vacant, I need urge upon him no more than that that belief is not obligatory.

Yet in all this scattering of the sheep, somebody must maintain and make available to them the objective Truth if the poor stones are not to have to do it (Lk. XIX, 40), because upon at least the seeking of that Truth depends the saving of our souls. However, let Catholics seek it with all due regard for the blindness of their fellow-sheep, for at least as long as the Shepherd remains struck.

Kyrie eleison.

Good Shepherd Sunday

...He that is not the shepherd... fleeth: and the wolf catcheth and scattereth the sheep (Jn. 10.12).

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ teaches us in today's Holy Gospel (Jn. 10-11-16) that the Bonus Pastor (the Good Shepherd) giveth His life for His sheep to snatch them "from the perils of endless death" (today's Collect). Giveth His life - the simple tense confirms our traditional Catholic teaching on the Sacred Sacrifice of the Mass: the Sacrifice on the Cross being renewed on our Apostolic altar (Heb. 13.10) but in an unbloody manner by the Bonus Pastor in fulfillment of His being the High Priest of the house of God... according to the order of Melchisedech [offering His Body and Blood under the form of consecrated bread and wine] (Heb. 10.21; 6.20); whereas, the pseudo-Mass in today's churches departs from it: "The Lord's Supper[/Banquet] or Mass IS the assembly or meeting of the People of God, met together [out of their sentiment of a 'religious' need; not anymore of God's convocation in Jesus Christ] with a priest presiding, to celebrate the MEMORIAL of the Lord" (Paul VI, "General Instructions," April 1969) "in loud... vernacular [vulgar/ordinary dialect]" (proposition condemned ex cathedra by Pope Pius VI in his Bull Auctorem Fidei).

Behold...

There is no such thing as a Catholic God," in L'Osservatore Romano, 2 Oct 2013] with the "New" Rite of 'Mass in Casa Santa Martha, Rome.

THE Sign of Rome's Conversion

First Saturday of the Month - Feria IV in the Octave of St. Joseph

Son, why hast thou done so to us? Behold thy father and I... sorrowing 

(Lk. 2.48). 

"Catholic Resistance" will not rest until the Roman Pontiff finally complies with heaven's demand through the Apocalyptic Great Sign in heaven (12.1): the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary - THE sign of Rome's conversion - for "[Not in Rome will]... the dogma of the Faith [be]... always preserved, etc." (Our Lady of Fatima) starting in 1960, cf., our post "Our Lady and the Disorientation of Rome". Pope John Paul II: "...the peoples of which You Yourself are AWAITING our consecration and confiding” (quoted by L'Osservatore Romano, 26 Mar. 1984; Vatican's LIE: so-called "last" consecration) - See more at: http://ignis-dei.blogspot.com/.../when-mary-comes-iii...

Faithful Guardians and Protectors Over the House of God?

J.M.J.

Wednesday in the Second Week after Easter

St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Protector of the

Universal Church and of the Teresian Carmel 

From all eternity, God the Father has elected St. Joseph to provide faithful nourishment and guardianship and protection of His principal treasures: His Son and the Blessed Virgin Mary (St. Bernard, Sermon on St. Joseph, from today's Office of Matins).

The pseudo-Church – the so-called Novus Ordo, the “New 'Catholic' [Dis-]Order” of Vatican II or the “Vatican II-Church” – has just recently added two Vatican II Popes to its immitative roll of 'saints' and offered to its adherents for their model and example. Now, whereas St. Joseph most faithfully fulfilled his office notwithstanding the threat of death...

1) 'the good Pope John XXIII' disarmed the institutional Church in her implacable combat against error, subtle or explicit. He claimed that with his Vatican II, the time has come for the Church to desist from issuing condemnations and anathemas. Not only that, he even let loose the precursors of the Antichrist in clerical/ecclesiastical trappings – Masonic/Communist infiltrators (cf., "A Perilous 'Catholic Voyage" and "The Year 1929") who got identified by the Holy Office (now replaced by the Novus Ordo 'Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith' and is presently headed by a manifest apostate) and their filthy blasphemous mouths tightly muzzled until the reign of Pope Pius XII – to become the periti ('theological' experts) of Vatican II, thus fulfilling in himself that fallen star to whom was given the key by which he opened the bottomless pit the smoke of which... darkened... the sun (symbol of Our Lord and His Gospel; cf., also our post The GreatTribulation) and the air (Apoc. 9.2-3; cf., also the “cloud of darkness,” according to Pope Paul VI, which Vatican II actually ushered in our post “Our Lady and the DiabolicalCampaign”). Moreover, he had been warned by the Great Sign in heaven, reading the Third Part of the Great Secret of Fatima as early as 1959 – one year ahead of 1960 as the Immaculata desired – to discontinue the “diabolical disorientation” of his 'ecumenism' (cf., our post “Our Lady and the Disorientation ofRome”; see also, the Vatican II 'Directory on Ecumenism' which called for Priests for the devil) but he discredited the Mother of God (cf., our post "Popes John XXIII and John Paul II and the Neo-Catholic 'Sainthood'").

2) 'the great Pope John Paul II” knew well that the “New 'Liturgy'”, esp. the “New 'Mass'” of 'Paul VI'-Freemason Bugnini, is “tampered” (in the Vatican periodical L'Osservatore Romano; cf., our post "Our Lady and the Diabolical Campaign" - link above) – that is, the Church's source and fountain of life was and still is poisoned – but he let millions and millions of his unsuspecting children take in the poison under attractive labels! [This poisoned 'liturgy' is now accepted, in principle – to which a later official practical agreement logically follows – to be “legitimate” by the perverted regime of the mainstream-Neo-SSPX Superior General in his March 2012 Cor Unum Bulletin after the decades-long battle waged against it by the Faternity's founder, the venerable Archbishop Marcel Lefevbre.]

May St. Joseph direct wandering and thirsting souls to the spring and fount of orthodoxy and life, which the Good Shepherd has been pleased to place under the watches of Catholic Resistance, and guard us.

A most blessed Feast to everyone, especially to our followers!
