Continue to pray for the pope. He has many problems, and struggles with his job, but at the same time he is occasionally so right, and so dead-on-target, that he shocks the world. This is one such case. The political Left is steadily moving toward tyranny (on par with Communism and Nazism) and they don’t even see it. Most Leftists are blind to self-examination and reject all criticism, even if it’s obviously true.

The news is highly speculative, so reader be warned, but we would be negligent to ignore it.

The only American political party most aligned with Catholic teaching is the American Solidarity Party. If you choose to vote at all, vote local and focus primarily on state politics. Put the federal government LAST on your priority list, as it is the most corrupt and least salvageable. If you need a guiding political ideology that is consistent with Catholic teaching, consider the American Solidarity Party. I put my money where his mouth is, and i am a contributing member to the American Solidarity Party.

Do you want to be a rebel? Do you want to challenge the system? Here’s how…

1.) Join a good, traditional church.
2.) Get married and stay married.
3.) Have kids — as many as you can handle.

Do these things, and you’re not OFFICIALLY a rebel and part of the counter-culture…

Christians who attack Christmas/Easter, while promoting the Jewish holy days are sorely mistaken and are suffering from a terrible identity crisis, that results from a very superficial understanding of the New Testament.

Christianity is a Jewish Faith, but it is NOT Judaism. Jews founded Christianity. Jews still convert to Christianity. Many Christians have Jewish heritage. Many customs within Christianity come from Jewish traditions and culture. Still, Christianity is NOT Judaism. That’s why Christians celebrate Christmas instead of Hanukkah, and Easter instead of Passover. That’s also why Christians worship on Sunday instead of Saturday.

I can explain all this in one passage of Scripture and one word….

The Scripture passage is ACTS 15.
The word is INCULTURATION.

Have a Holy Advent 🕯
and a Merry Christmas. 🎄

The Knights of Columbus was formed as a Catholic men's fraternal organization, in response to extreme anti-Catholic bigotry in the United States. In the late 1800s to early 1900s, Catholic men were frequently forced to work dangerous jobs, under poor working conditions, so the husbands would die at a young age, and the widow would be forced to surrender her children to Protestant families if she could not afford to take care of them (which was most of the time), thus ending their Catholic formation in their original home. The hope, or intention, was to wipe out Catholic religion in the United States, or at least stunt its growth as much as possible. It was an informal type of religious genocide. Under these conditions, the Knights of Columbus was formed to bind Catholic men together for the purpose of caring for the widows and their children when one of these knights would die. By binding Catholic men together in this way, Catholic men were able to rise above the dire conditions they once lived in within the United States.

Today, the Knights of Columbus is the largest men's charitable organization in the world. It is often called the "Strong Arm of the Church." The Knights of Columbus have also become a strong political lobbying group in Washington DC, as well as many state capitals. It has been a powerful force in the Pro-Life Movement, and if you like saying "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, you can thank the Knights of Columbus. They were responsible for adding it to the Pledge.

You really might want to read this. Sexual abuse is just as high in Protestant churches, and the American press has known all along…

In watching Protestants argue against Catholics, and each other, I am reminded why I became Catholic over 20 years ago. We Christians need an authority structure to maintain some minimal sense of order within our ranks. It need not be a perfect authority structure, or even a particularly holy one, but it needs to exist nonetheless. Christians left to their own private interpretation of the Bible = CHAOS.

The web of sexual abuse, including both pederasty and pedophilia, is vast and tangled in both the entertainment industry and news media. It spans out into our public schools, churches and the highest echelons of government. This is not some ridiculous Q-Anon conspiracy theory. This is just well known fact that is easily verifiable, and his been so for a very long time.

I am now 100% convinced that Pope Francis, and the Modernists now controlling the Vatican, are actively trying, wanting and hoping to create a schism in the Catholic Church, forcing the Traditional Catholics to break with Rome. It is their desire. It is what they want. Their actions have convinced me of it. The SSPX will soon rise to the occasion, I’m sure. Within two or three years, we will likely have TWO churches claiming to be Catholic in the West. This will be on par with the Eastern Orthodox schism, and will likely NEVER be repaired. As a convert to the Catholic Church, through Anglicanism and the Ordinariates, I am deeply saddened by this. My heart goes out to our Traditional Catholic brethren…

Cardinal Burke’s recovery from COVID-19 was nothing short of miraculous. Based on his age and body habitus, followed by the rapid progression of his disease process, most men would have died. I know, because I’ve watched it happen more times than I can count. His recovery was an answer to the prayers and sacrifices of many. Of this, there can be no doubt.

On the one hand, this new law will prevent another January 6 from happening, which is its intent. On the other hand, this new law will have a chilling effect on Free Speech in our nation’s capital. The National Guard can now be used to intimidate and disburse peaceful protesters, as well as violent ones. Human nature dictates that this WILL happen at some point — guaranteed. The era of large protests is over in Washington DC, whether violent or not. I’m curious to see how this new law will play at the annual March for Life in Washington DC this January.

I’ve never been one for protests or demonstration. I’ve only attended a few in my life. I find them to be useless and a waste of time. The potential for violence, or something else going wrong, greatly outweighs the benefit of showing up and waving your sign, rosary, flag or whatever. So I don’t go to them anymore, and I haven’t in years. I think the last protest I attended was in 2009.

I find that real change happens quietly, in silent revolutions, when Christians finally decide to do something about a problem, and vote accordingly. In today’s political climate, it is impossible to reform Washington DC through any means. So it’s best not to try. The best thing to do is empower the states, and try to strip Washington of as much power as possible by asserting states rights. All politics is local. That saying is true. Focus on your home town, your county and your state. Forget about the federal government. It’s lost. If you choose to vote, vote local, and you’ll likely be much more satisfied with the results.

This is the nuclear bomb of rebuttals, to those who say Christmas is Pagan, and discourage others from celebrating it. Please read and share generously, and of course, may you have a Holy Advent and a Merry Christmas !!!

https://news.gab.com/2021/12/15/against-the-modern-judaizers/

Yesterday, Gab News published an article I wrote about the modern Judaizers of our day, and how they are really not much different from the Judaizers of ancient times during the early Church. This article has proved to be both well-liked and controversial at the same time, highlighting the severity of the problem we face. For nearly 200 years now, Christianity has been under a direct assault from modern Judaizers. These consist of any Christian who attacks other Christians for their celebration of Christmas, Easter and Halloween, as well as their worship of God on Sundays. Some examples of this include the Seventh-Day Sabbath Keepers of the 19th century, to the more recent "Messianic Jews" of the 20th century, along with a variety of Christians in-between. While it is good for Catholics, and other Christians of good will, to engage these modern Judaizers in debate about individual celebrations and observances, at the same time we must call out these people for what they are -- Judaizers! The tables must be turned. We must put them on the defensive for a change. The burden of proof is now on them. They must answer, and demonstrate, that their actions are not Judaizing. And if they are Judaizing, then they must be called upon to stop it in the name of Jesus Christ. I offer this article to my fellow Catholics, and other Christians of good will, as a template for how to recognize this heresy of Judaizing and move forward in dealing with it.

THIS is how it works. This is what it means to be part of the one, true Church established by Jesus Christ on Peter the Rock. This is why I don't fear the coming schism. I know that once it happens (and it will happen), some time will pass, and the Church will be purified of those who can no longer tolerate an all-male-priesthood, marriage between one man and one woman, and abortion as a mortal sin. These people WILL MOST CERTAINLY leave the Church within a very short time. They will cause a great disruption when they do. Chaos will follow in their wake. The Catholic Church will be shaken to its knees. However, within just a couple of decades, once the Church is smaller and more pure than it is now, God will open wide the floodgates of evangelism. This will be the "Springtime of Evangelization" that Pope St. John Paul II prophesied would eventually come. It will be like nothing we have seen in 500 years. Where will it be? I suspect Africa and Asia will be the locations. Meanwhile, in Europe and the Americas, the schismatic sect of liberal Catholics will die out and become irrelevant, much like the mainline Protestants are today, until all that remains is the fervent Catholicism of the faithful and traditional Catholics who remained loyal to the papacy, in spite of the office being drug through the mud as it is now.

This is in anticipation of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. The federal government knows the odds are likely the high court will overturn the unconstitutional ruling, so in anticipation of that, abortion drugs will be sent by mail into Pro-Life states, in the hopes of maintaining the Left's SACRAMENT of abortion there, at least up to 10-weeks gestation. Sadly, we all know where this will lead. Women who miscalculate their gestation, or intentionally lie about it, will likely suffer hemorrhagic shock at botched home abortions. Meanwhile, a plan is being worked by abortion providers to transport women across state-lines to receive surgical abortions too.

The likely ruling from the Supreme Court will probably fall along strict constructionist lines, as that tends to be the leaning of the new (more conservative) court. Rather than overturning Roe to legislate from the bench a Pro-Life national law, they will likely instead turn things over to the states, following the federalists principle of "states rights" as envisioned by America's founding fathers. Thus, each state will be given back its power, to act more like an independent country, on this particular matter. Blue states, that usually vote Democrat, will become Pro-Choice states, while Red states, that usually vote Republican, will become Pro-Life states. The end result is a fractured country on a hotly contested issue, much like how things were before the Civil War on the issue of slavery.

This will likely hold the Union together for a while longer. Giving the states more free-reign to legislate as they like on hotly-contested issues such as abortion.

HERE IT IS. This is the Freedom Map. The Patriot States are Green. The Tyrant States are White. If you are a Catholic, who loves life and freedom, and you live in a white state, a tyrant state, you need to GET OUT and move to a green state, a patriot state, where you can be free and live among people who share your Catholic values. Seriously, get out. Time is running short. Move to one of these green, patriot states while you still can. The criteria for this map can be found here: https://www.thepatriotleague.org/post/american-alignment-anywhere-so-long-as-it-be-free

IT IS DONE. Rome, via the pontificate of Pope Francis, has effectively banned the rites of the pre-conciliar Church. They are now so severely curtailed and amputated that growth within a diocesan structure is impossible. Catholics attached to the traditional form now have only two options available to them. (1) Find a rogue bishop who is willing to disobey Pope Francis on this issue (yes, there are some), and move to his diocese, or (2) join the SSPX.

https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2021/12/urgent-roche-christmas-massacre-cdw.html

THE FIX IS IN. The traditional rite is slated for total destruction. It is now impossible to obey the pope, and keep traditional Catholicism alive. A bishop must now choose between one or the other. I have it on good authority that a handful of US bishops will disobey the pope on this, and keep the traditional rite alive in spite of his edicts and wishes. At least one of them is a US cardinal currently reigning over an American archdiocese. I’m not at liberty to say who it is yet. We have finally reached the point where obedience to the pope, and keeping the old traditions alive, are no longer possible to do together. This is a sad state of affairs for the Catholic Church, and a situation that is totally unwarranted. Pope Francis is off his rocker.

Had the post-conciliar bishops only used more Latin in the Novus Ordo, and simply strived to make the new mass beautiful in a traditional and reverent sense, there would not be so many people clamoring for the old mass. But alas, things are always action and reaction. Everyone blames the traditionalists, but it was really liberals in the Church who started it all, and continue to make it worse. I say this as an outsider, a convert, who sees it for what it is.
