  • Since 2020, 309 Catholic Churches in America alone have been attacked (147 of them since the Supreme Court overturning of Roe v Wade), and this number grows almost daily.
    https://catholicvote.org/tracker-church-attacks/ 

    Abortion, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, divorce, birth control and abusive NFP, transɛҳuąƖity, bisɛҳuąƖity, free pornography, legal marijuana, and every degenerate sɛҳuąƖ inclination are called "good," protected and enforced by law, promoted by media, indoctrinated in government public schools, and have even made large inroads into the conciliar church.

    But what is called "bad" are those people who call evil evil, like Catholics.  And although a large chunk of conciliar Catholics have sided with the enemy, the worldd still hates them, and hates wwhat the Church used to be, and is committed into pounding the Church into dust, to make sure it can never recover her true self.

    This truly Satanic inversion -the telltale sign of Satanic inspiration, because Satan wishes to completely invert God's plan for order, not merely out of hatred for Him, but also to frustrate as much as possible our return to Him- is ubiquitous in nearly all the institutions of all the developed countries of the world.  Moreover, a globalist movement which intends to deprive nation states of their sovereignty, and cede it to a de facto world government, will not only further facilitate the disseemination of these corrupted perversions (declaring any countries like Russia or Hungarry who oppose their plans, even in part "enemies and criminal), but enforce them with military power.

    A surveilance state erected to spot dissidents, movements to confiscate our guns to leave us defenseless, cell phone tracking and sales of your browsing data ensure that you are already at a disadvantage. 

    This is the Satanic and tyrannical state of the world amidst which we Catholics are called to give witness to Jesus christ and His Law.  We must have no illusions that we are ALREADY under an orchestrated, deliberate, and Satanic persecution, just as in previous ages.

    They want us to apostatize.

    The persecution of today is worse than any other, both in the scope of its magnitude (i.e., it is worldwide, and there is nowhere you can run to to escape it), and its multi-faceted attack: Fomerly, persecutions (bloody and otherwise) simply required the patient resistance of force and/or torture.  Today, as a precursos to this, there is an immense psychological campaign through the Jєωιѕн media to convince you to capitulate; that "resistance is futile.  Additionally, the economic and medical systems are already exerting pressure to conform to the Satanic World Order, lest you become outcasts.

    I write all this on Easter Sunday, not because you don't already know all this, but because for some reason, it hits me with unusual force this glorious morning, that there needs to remain SOME kind of loyal army who still honor their Risen King.  That we need to get our minds right, and accurately recognize the battlefield we are all already on, and conduct our lives accordingly.  Our dear Lord deserves it, and we really have no other reason for living in these times, than to shame the devil by remaining loyal to Jesus.

    God willing, we will persevere, not for our own glory, but for His.  We will give battle on every front, for him.  We will not compromise, for Him. 

    Every Catholic must have this battle-ready mentality, intensify his spiritual life, and be prepared to persevere.

    Happy Easter to all.

    Easter Sermon
    April 9, 2023

    Brothers: Clear out the old yeast
     so that you may be a new dough,
     since you are unleavened.
     For Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
    Therefore, let us feast: not with the old leaven,
     nor with the ferment of malice and wickedness:
     but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
     I Cor 5: 7-8
    The modern world is held hostage by lies. Everything that is theorized by the elite, affirmed by the Institutions, and propagandized by the media is a lie, a falsehood, and a deception.

    The psychopandemic emergency is a lie, all on account of a virus created in a laboratory for the sake of a mass vaccination that is as ineffective as it is harmful to health. Gender theory is a lie, which denies the distinction of the sexes willed by the Creator, and which seeks to cancel the image and likeness of God in man. Climate change is a lie, based as it is on the false premise of man-made climate crisis and on the even more false chimera that the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in certain countries can even minimally change the earth’s temperature. The Ukrainian crisis is a lie, which was provoked in order to destroy the social and economic fabric of European nations through unreasonable sanctions against the Russian Federation. The Agenda 2030 is a lie, which is being imposed by a gang of subversives in order to enslave humanity. Woke ideology is a lie, which causes the cancellation of our identity, our History, and our Faith in order to impose the infernal religion of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr and the barbarism of the Great Reset.

    What is most disconcerting is that this fraud against the peoples – perpetuated by those in authority who ought instead to be protecting and defending them – has also infected the ecclesial body, where other no less serious falsehoods corrupt the purity of the Faith, offending the Divine Majesty and causing the damnation of many souls, whom the Lord has paid for dearly, redeeming them with his Most Precious Blood. Ecuмenism is a lie, which abases the Living and True God to the level of the idols of the nations. The Synodal Way is a lie, which subverts the divine constitution of the Church intended by Christ under the false pretext of listening to the People of God. The liturgical reform is a lie, introduced with the excuse of making the Mass understandable to the faithful, with the sole intention of taking honor from God and pleasing the heretics. The feminine diaconate is a lie, which with the alibi of giving a role to women attacks the Mass and the Sacraments and tampers with the Holy Orders instituted by Our Lord. The possibility of divorced and cohabitating couples receiving Holy Communion is a lie, the blessing of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ unions is a lie, the entrance of transsɛҳuąƖs into the Seminary is a lie: Morality does not follow the fashions of the day, whatever Bergoglio may say. The acceptance of sodomy is a lie, which too often seems to want to legitimize the conduct of many Prelates and clergy rather than saving the souls of poor sinners.

     These lies have the effrontery to manifest themselves as obvious falsehoods, deprived of any rational or credible arguments. They are not the lies with which one clumsily tries to hide something: they are the arrogant affirmation of falsification, of the subversion of logic, of the negation of the truth.


     But why do so many people voluntarily choose to renounce their own critical judgment and accept blatant lies as rational and true? Because adherence to error is the price that the world asks of its adorers, of those who do not want to be marginalized, criminalized, and persecuted. And who is the prince of lies if not Satan, the father of lies, he who was a murderer from the very beginning? Satan, who tempted our first parents with a no less brazen lie: If you eat of this fruit, you will be like gods. This was a brazen falsehood, and by believing it Adam and Eve chose to abdicate reason and disobey God in order to follow a false promise made by a repugnant creature.


     What Satan promises Our Lord when he tempted Him in the desert was also a lie: All this will be yours . . . for the sake of something of which Christ was not only already the master but also the Creator.


     In the Epistle of the Mass on this most holy day on which we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, the Apostle exhorts us to eliminate the old leaven: expurgate vetus fermentum. Anyone who is familiar with the ancient methods of making bread knows that the mother dough is that portion of flour and water which, when left to ferment, becomes the leavening mass. It can be kept for decades, periodically re-kneaded with new flour and new water, so that today’s bread is substantially linked to all the preceding bread going back in time. But if the fermentum is vetus, if the leaven is old, this affects the new dough and the new bread. Purging the old leaven means starting over from the beginning, accomplishing a true “great reset” of each individual soul and of the social body, cancelling the ferment of malice and perversity, and starting afresh with unleavened bread, a figure of the Holy Eucharist and Blessed Sacrament of the new and eternal Covenant made by Christ with His Church, made new in Grace and not subject to the changes of time, fashion, and circuмstances.


    This is why Saint Paul speaks of the azymes, of the unleavened bread. A bread of austerity, the bread of those who do not have time to preserve the mother dough alive, the bread of those who prepare with their loins girt to eat the Lamb without blemish and the bitter herbs before abandoning the land of Egypt and crossing the Red Sea. The reset, the New Creation, the New Passover, is fulfilled in Christ, the unique, indispensable, eternal Truth, the Living and True Word of the Eternal Father. The true reset is returning to the Truth of Christ, of the One who said of Himself: I am the way, the truth, and the life. A Truth that is, while error in contrast has no existence. A Truth that demands sincerity on our part – in azymis sinceritatis – as a necessary response to light of Truth – et veritatis.

     Satan, the ape of God, grotesquely mimics Creation, engaging in monstrosities that any sensible person recognizes as such. He mimics the Redemption even more gortesquely, promising men a good that is unknown to him and which he does not himself first possess, asking in exchange that men acknowledge him as their god. We ought to recognize this law of his for what it is; we ought to reject and fight against it.


     If we fight for the Truth – for any truth, not just theological truth – we align ourselves on the side of Christ; on the side of the One who was not lying when he announced to His Apostles His own Death and Resurrection.


     If instead we choose not to fight for the Truth, or even to allow error to be proclaimed or to spread it ourselves, we align ourselves on the side of Satan, the prince of lies, on the side of the one who makes promises and does not keep them, for the sole purpose of dragging us into that abyss of damnation into which he chose to sink when, committing the sin of pride, he believed he could put himself in the place of God and decide what is and what is not, that is, what is true and what is false, what is good and what is evil, what is beautiful and what is ugly. And in fact, the infernal world we are rushing headlong into today is composed of lies, malice, and ugliness. Nor could it be otherwise.


     It is not by chance that Satan is called the prince of this world: he is not king; his power is ephemeral and permitted by God only until the time comes to end the period of trial and the moment of Judgment comes. It is no different for Satan’s servants. Even if their power seems to overwhelm us, even if the means at their disposal seem unlimited and overwhelming, their end is inexorably approaching as Christ takes back His Universal Kingdom. Oportet illum regnare, it is necessary that this happens, it is in the order willed by God, and no one, not even all of Hell combined, can prolong the apparent triumph of evil by a single instant.


    Only two days ago we were contemplating the Mysteries of the Passion and Death of the Lord, after the maneuvers of the Sanhedrin, the uproar of the crowd, and the tortures of the executioners. Along with Joseph of Arimathea and the Pious Women we accompanied the lifeless Body of Jesus towards the Sepulcher. We remained in prayer in the bare silence of our churches. But “Consummatum est” does not mean “Everything is lost,” but rather, “Everything has come to its fulfillment,” that is, “The work of the Redemption has been accomplished.”

     Χριστὸς ἀνέστη is the Greek Easter greeting: Christ is Risen. To which the response is given: Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη –Truly He is Risen – Surrexit Dominus vere. That ἀληθῶς, that vere, contains the reality of the Resurrection of the Savior, the truth of that historical event in which the Mercy of the Man-God has repaired the sin of Adam caused by the lie of Satan, who continued to lie when he accused Christ with false witnesses, and who still lies today, trying to frustrate the fruits of the Redemption.


     Today, after the solemn notes of the Exsultet have announced the glory of the Resurrection, let us celebrate the triumph of Christ over death and sin, His victory over Satan. Let us also celebrate the victory of the Church and Christian Civilization over earthly enemies, because the fate of the Mystical Body was decreed in the moment in which its Divine Head nailed the ancient serpent to the Cross. Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando: Dux vitæ mortuus, regnat vivus.

    BREAKING: FBI sought SSPX chapel leadership to “inform on parishioners” in VA
    By:   Press Release
    https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/headline-news-around-the-world/item/6574-breaking-fbi-enlists-sspx-chapel-leadership-to-inform-on-parishioners-in-va 


    BREAKING: FBI sought SSPX chapel leadership to “inform on parishioners” in VA

    In an April 10 Press Release, Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) announced that his committee has subpoenaed the FBI for docuмents relating the FBI’s move to infiltrate Latin Mass communities in search of any “radical extremism” that could potentially signal domestic terrorism.

    Vatican journalist, Diane Montagna tweeted out the latest on the FBI’s efforts to weaponize the Southern Poverty Law Center’s decades-old witch hunt against Latin Mass Catholics:

    House Judiciary Committee Chairman @Jim_Jordan confirms FBI planned to “engage in outreach to leadership” of SSPX chapels in Richmond area “to sensitize these congregations to warning signs of radicalization & to enlist their assistance to serve as suspicious activity tripwires.”

    diane tweet1

    BACKGROUND: 

    On February 16, 2023, Chairman Jordan and Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) sought information from the FBI relating to a January 23, 2023 “domain perspective” docuмent generated by the Richmond Field Office entitled “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities.” After receiving no response, the Committee reiterated its request in a subsequent letter dated March 20, 2023. On March 23, 2023, the FBI produced a substandard and partial response consisting of only 18 pages—many with significant redactions of “personally identifiable information” or “specific non-public information about [FBI] investigations, sources, and methods” that prevents the Committee from fully assessing the content and context of the docuмents and obtaining information requested from the Bureau.

    NEW INFORMATION: 

    It is apparent that the FBI, relying on information derived from at least one undercover employee, sought to use local religious organizations as “new avenues for tripwire and source development.” For example, in a section of a January 23, 2023, domain perspective docuмent entitled “Opportunities,” the FBI wrote:

    “In addition to [redaction], engage in outreach to the leadership of other [Society of Saint Pius X] chapels in the FBI Richmond [area of responsibility] to sensitize these congregations to the warning signs of radicalization and to enlist their assistance to serve as suspicious activity tripwires.

    According to Chairman Jordan, the FBI planned to engage in outreach with the leadership of certain SSPX chapels in Virginia as potential “sources to monitor and report on their parishioners”.

  • The million dollar question is: "How did the SSPX respond to this pressure to produce some leads?"

    What is certain, is that:

    1) The operation was not limited to the Virginia area (If Catholics were viewed by the FBI as a threat in Virginia, on the basis of the SLPC nonsense, then they are viewed as a threat everywhere);

    2) The expose that Catholics were being subjected to FBI scrutiny has not ended the operation.

    It looks like the answer to this question is the question itself. Since the SSPX leadership apparently/ presumably kept this FBI contact quiet, was silent about it, only the worst can be expected.

     If the SSPX leadership was actually contacted by the FBI for this purpose, the correct response to the FBI would be to tell them to stop looking for trouble where there is none, and then spread the word about this loud and long throughout the SSPX. But instead.... pacifism at its best.

     The SSPX leadership is soft and very cozy with the wolves in sheep's clothing.

  • 100% agree. They want us to commit apostasy, and instead of using the coliseum of Rome their tool is being "cancelled". Don't "respect" someones "pronouns"? Congrats you are now kicked out of school or fired from work. Refuse our experimental "medicine"? You are now an outcast. They want us to bow down to the idol of "acceptance" and be followers of the world instead of bowing to Apollo or whatever other false god of the past. There is nothing new under the sun, the devil has the same goals but now is using different means. We must form a group, perhaps a national Rosary Brotherhood of CATHOLIC men who are united in their belief in Christ and always in defense of the truth. This group should constantly be condemning the ways of the world, and should also be used as a support mechanism for whomever is "cancelled" whether it be financially or spiritually. A rosary crusade could be the start.... Who's with me?
    Pope St. Pius X pray for us
