Paralysis in the Ecclesial Spine

Using the analogy of a body for the Church as St. Paul often did, we naturally refer to Christ as the head. We might just as rightly refer to the saints in heaven, starting with the Blessed Virgin Mary, as the heart of that mystical body. We of course, the Church Militant, represent the various other members ~ hands, feet, etc. So what connects all these various members to the head, Christ, is the spinal chord or backbone. That metaphorical backbone of the Church would be the clergy: priests bishops, cardinals, and the Pope himself. For without the priesthood there simply can be no sacramental life, no true governance, and no Church. These men represent the indispensable neuro-pathway linking the Church’s many members to Christ her head. Sever the spine and the Church will die, cut off from its one true head. But what if that same spine is only damaged? Then, like our bodies, a full or partial paralysis will occur so that the Church, although it may continue to limp along, it will no longer function in a healthy or robust manner. It will become a weakened invalid.

That point at the very top of the spinal column where the spine merges into the actual brain matter would be the Petrine office of the Pope. Christ after all founded his Church on all twelve apostles but he gave a special authority to Peter, calling him the “Rock” who would support, encourage, and at times even correct his brother bishops. Peter was to be the visible sign and cause of unity in the Church. Nevertheless it would take all of the apostles, not just Peter to manage and extend the Church to the ends of the earth. And yes, there were times when even Peter himself needed correction as we know from the Acts of the Apostles.

With Advent we are entering a new liturgical year, so it might be a good time to take the current pulse of Christ’s Church. And yet, what we observe coming out of the Petrine office these days is very disturbing. I am referring of course to the current Bergoglian papacy euphemistically called the “Francis Church.” (What used to be known as the Roman Catholic Church increasingly resembles a strange new body, the Jesuit Catholic Church.) Beginning March 13, 2013 the world’s Catholic faithful have been living in a surreal dream-like state of two popes which, in the past year since the death of Benedict XVI, has increasingly morphed into a frightful nightmare. We have observed the so-called Church of Mercy descend into the Church of petty retributions, vindictiveness, and patent injustice. Saintly bishops are deposed unjustly and without cause, most recently Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas who it seems has now been forbidden to even celebrate Mass in his former diocese among friends he has known for years. It is a demonstration of just how petulant the henchmen of Bergoglio’s brutal authoritarianism have become.

Pope Caiaphas and the good Bishop

We sadly witness today something unprecedented in 2,000 years of Church history ~ an assault on the truth by a Bergoglian Papacy which shields predator clerics, formally approves pagan rituals (the new Mayan rite Mass) and promotes sodomy (a la James Martin, S.J.) even as it censures and removes from office holy and faithful prelates simply for adhering to traditional teachings and morality. It would seem that the ‘Pope of Mercy’ has little mercy to spare for those who cross his agenda.

This past March he removed Bishop Daniel Fernandez Torres of Arecibo, Puerto Rico from his lawful See, providing no reason or explanation in what Bishop Torres decried as “a totally unjust action.” It appears that the good bishop had irritated the homo-friendly Archbishop of San Juan and the Vatican Politburo (formerly known as the Curia) by defending conscience objections to the onerous vaccine mandates being pushed onto the Puerto Rican clergy and religious. Apparently the ‘Church of Accompaniment’ quickly morphs into the ‘Bully Church’ when the issue is no longer basic morality but climate change, the environment, or invasive medical interventions.

Last weekend another Bergoglian lightning bolt fell from the sky, landing on the head of another faithful pastor, Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas. The bishop was unceremoniously removed from his office by diktat literally the day before the 400th anniversary of the treacherous and brutal martyrdom of St. Josaphat, the Ukrainian bishop killed for his tireless work to heal the schism between Rome and the Greek Orthodox believers. Like St. Josaphat, Bishop Strickland’s offense seems to have been a deep desire to reconcile factions, in this case traditional Latin Mass Catholics with his mainstream flock. As the good bishop explained, “I didn’t implement Traditionis Custodes (Bergoglio’s motu proprio intended to countermand Pope Benedict XVI’s Summorum Pontificum permitting wide use of the TLM) because I can’t starve part of my flock.”

Ecclesial Freemasonry Today

In light of recent strange events in the Catholic Church, inquisitive people are considering what role Freemasonry may be playing in Catholic hierarchy. Although unable to prove definitively that overt Masonic infiltrators are at the helm, I offer as exhibit “A” the ongoing Synod on Synodality, an ambiguous and peculiar title seemingly meant to throw one off the track (meaningless wordplay as in a “conference on conferencing”). Add to this murky moniker the now imposed dark veil of secrecy, a virtual gag order placed on all Synod participants regarding any discussions, or even the airing of their own thoughts, relating to the Synod summit. This can only create more distrust and suspicion about what is really going on here. After all, this is not some papal conclave but an ecclesial “listening session,” but one to which ordinary Catholics or uninvited clerics are apparently not permitted to listen. Only those exclusive, pre-screened insiders are to be let in on the secrets. Let’s see, what other organization veils its activities in the dark cloak of secrecy? Oh yes, the Freemasons!

Exhibit “B” could be the latest encyclical hailing from the Bergolian papacy, “Laudate Deum,” a more compact 10 year follow up to its tedious progenitor, “Laudate Si.” This papal exhortation which obsequiously bends the knee to the dubious “threats” of climate change and environmental catastrophe barely finds space in its 73 paragraphs to mention anything remotely connected to eternal salvation, but it has a lot to say about Co2. Church, the Bible, and Christianity each get one mention whereas Jesus himself merits a whopping three references sprinkled into an official 7,500 word Church document. These two samplings, many more could be cited, betoken the increasingly secular temporal sounding Vati-speak regularly oozing out of the Vatican these days. And like many aspects of the Francis papacy, they waft a strong odor of Freemasonry.

I do not mean to imply that Francis or his curial staff are all card carrying Freemasons but I think by now it has become apparent to anyone with a half raised antenna that much of the Catholic world has become drenched in Masonic ideology. To support that claim I refer to two of the more prominent principles of Freemasonry, both of which have all but seamlessly been incorporated into today’s median clerical consciousness. From its inception Freemasonry has championed two axioms, 1: spiritual and moral relativism and 2: the perfectibility of both the human person and society.

The first axiom means that there are no absolute truths or moral standards which apply to all of humanity. Everyone is entitled to determine one’s own truth and reality. Consequently the Church’s 2,000 year old teaching that Jesus Christ is the only pathway to salvation has been hotly contested by Freemasonry from day one. Rather, they claim there are many pathways to salvation (whatever such a term may mean to the Mason) and so all creeds stand on equal footing. Wicca or Buddhism is therefore just as expedient as Christianity in achieving one’s eternal end and sanctification. Apparently that relativist message now resonates with many cardinals and bishops. Consider the recent World Youth Day in Lisbon, Portugal where the hosting archbishop of Lisbon made it clear that this event was not about evangelization but merely a feel-good cultural exchange. The gospel it seems needs to be re-scripted ( a project already being undertaken by geniuses at the WEF assisted by AI of course) to read “Go ye not and make disciples of all nations, for that would be culturally insensitive and intolerant.” Yet as a reward for his heterodox sentiments the archbishop in question was awarded a red hat in the Francis Church.

The second Masonic axiom referred to above can be summed up in the popular phrase, “doing something to make the world a better place.” Just so, countless foundations, governments, and political activists have been working feverishly and spending trillions for several generations to make the world a better place. Instead it seems to be going hellishly in the other direction at an accelerated pace. This is perhaps because the Masonic premise that human nature can somehow be perfected in this world is a false premise. After all, the gospel isn’t about cleaning up the planet but rather cleaning up our souls. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these other things will be given to you besides.”

Subversive Masonic philosophy imposes its own culture of temporalism, an obsession with the here and now, where spiritual and moral cleansing up takes a back seat to making the world a better place. Even so the high sounding utopian ideals of Freemasonry seem to have caught the eyes and ears of many of today’s Catholic hierarchy. You don’t have to be a Mason to think like a Mason, which appears to be a real problem for the Church today. Too many prelates are suffering from severe mission creep syndrome. Thinking that through global initiatives, programs, and collaborations the Church can be part of creating some Masonic vision of “heaven on earth” is a dangerous path to tread. It smacks of base materialism, substituting the temporal for the eternal so that in the end man worships not God but man. This is one reason why Freemasonry is rightly called the anti-Church or the Synagogue of Satan, because it fosters human pride on so many levels. The father of pride is Satan and so to indulge so freely in human pride and accomplishment is ultimately to pay homage to Satan.

It is incumbent to remember that the Church’s true mission has always been saving souls, not social equality or saving rain the forest. Yet humanist Freemasonry for 300 years has belittled the Church’s divine spiritual mandate, all the while chipping away at the ecclesial edifice like water dripping steadily on soft clay-stone even as the dire warnings of too many popes have gone unheeded. In 1989 the Blessed Mother, referring to images in the Book of Revelation, gave several warnings to Fr. Gobbi concerning Freemasonry. She specifically declared, “The aim of Masonry is not to deny God but to blaspheme Him.” She continues, “The task of Masonry is that of fighting in a subtle way… to obstruct the soul… To the seven theological and cardinal virtues, the fruit of living in the grace of God, Freemasonry counters with the diffusion of the seven capital vices, which are the fruit of living habitually in the state of sin. To faith it (Masonry) opposes pride; to hope, lust; to charity, avarice; to prudence, anger; to fortitude, sloth; to justice, envy; to temperance, gluttony.

Again, in her many messages to Fr. Gobbi the Blessed Mother warned specifically about the imminent dangers of ecclesial Freemasonry (#406 June 13, 1989)

“Above all, as Mother, I have wanted to warn you of the grave dangers which threaten the Church today, because of the many diabolical attacks which are being carried out against it to destroy it. To attain this end there comes out of the earth by way of the Black Beast which arises out of the sea, a beast which has two horns like those of a lamb.

“The Black Beast like a leopard indicates Freemasonry. The beast with the two horns indicated Freemasonry infiltrated into the interior of the Church, that is to say ecclesiastical Freemasonry, which has spread especially among the members of the hierarchy... If the task of Masonry is to lead souls to perdition, bringing them to the worship of false divinities, the task of ecclesiastical Masonry is that of destroying Christ and his Church, building up a new idol, namely a false christ and a false church.”

I posit that we have fully arrived at that point of infiltration which the Blessed Mother has time and again warned of for centuries, beginning in Quito, Ecuador in 1620. The present day cultural absorption of Masonic principles has been so complete and ubiquitous that we hardly even notice that it is the air we now breathe. Its revolutionary spirit has infiltrated virtually every institution in our society and corrupted them. Instead of bringing the promised era of equality, peace, and brotherhood the globalist Masonic matrix succeeds only in setting brother against brother, government against its citizens, and nation against nation. For in the absence of God men cannot create heaven on earth but only a hellish existence.

The final battle with the Masonic Black Beast is rapidly approaching, so offer your prayers and penances for those many good priests and prelates, like Bishop Joseph Strickland, who are on the front lines of the fight. Pray especially to St. Michael and the guardian angels every day for they represent our best defense against the subtle wiles of our arch-enemy. In the end, Mary’s Immaculate Heart will undoubtedly triumph, we simply need to make sure that we remain in her camp. So pray the rosary daily without fail and “fear not” as Pope St. John Paul II never tired of reminding us.

Who Told You that You Were Naked?

Very few Americans seem to realize just how deeply the occult has penetrated and influenced our society. In my former pamphlets I outlined the role of Masonic Illuminism infiltrating both the state and Church. I showed how Freemasonry is ultimately a Luciferian religion. Today I want to go deeper, right to the very core of this hellish matrix of evil known as Satanism. In a recent Life Site News interview, Charles Fraune, author of “The Rise of the Occult,” touched on the serious nature of the recent Vatican / Pachamama scandal. An exorcist confided in Fraune, “whenever you have a demon of fertility ─ which is what Pachamama is ─ you have a demon of death as well that goes along with it.” This is because death is the very essence of anything demonic. So if such a disturbing sacrilege can occur at the very heart of God’s Church is it surprising that the larger culture increasingly manifests the Satanic?


This culture wide descent into occultism has been driven by two things in particular, the social acceptance of abortion and pornography. But this current dance with the devil has deeper historical roots. Consider our developing of weapons of mass murder, highlighted by the 1940s Manhattan Project, which became a clear moral turning point. One could argue that the atomic bomb opened a veritable Pandora’s box, i.e., the seeking after and unlocking of forbidden knowledge and powers, activities which personify the very heart and soul of Gnostic and occult doctrines.


The worst threat to the human race today however is not war, Co2, hunger, a viral infection, or even the global New World Order. I would argue that the key threat to modern man is pornography and its close ally, abortion, two insidious means of implanting diabolic influence within any society (thereby creating a “culture of death”). Abortion is intrinsically linked to pornography because porn is the engine which in some sense feeds the abortion mill. Pornography and the sex trade is a $150 billion industry. Plain common sense suggests that the production of so much porn generates many thousands of unintended pregnancies. Abortions then just become part of the cost of doing business for the porn industry. But that is only on the physical level. On a spiritual level every abortion becomes a blood sacrifice made to Satan in mockery of the one true and efficacious blood sacrifice made by Jesus Christ on the cross. Abortion isn’t just about some woman’s convenience or self-interest, it intentionally mocks God by throwing His greatest gift, life, back in His face. Nor does it liberate women. As a former Satanist and High Wizard Zachary King explains, “those that abort their children are not avoiding motherhood, they are now the mothers of dead children.”

Intolerant Tolerance

Remember those halcyon days when tolerance pretty much meant live and let live? It wasn’t tied to any ideology nor did it imply approval of another’s views or way of life. You could strongly disagree with someone and yet still be tolerant and respectful of their person. Sadly, those common sense parameters no longer seem to apply. Today you’re either all in or all out. You’re either a member of my tribe or a hateful bigot, with no middle ground on which to stand.

Tolerance was one of the cardinal principles underpinning the new American republic which allowed a polyglot melting pot of ethnicities, religious, and political factions to mix and blend itself into a cohesive nation. Subvert the meaning of tolerance and the nationalism which once united and molded diverse peoples into “Americans” begins to break down into petty tribalism. Granted there has always been considerable friction among classes, races, believers, and even the sexes throughout our history so, no, we have never fully lived up to the ideal. Nevertheless, despite our human imperfections and prejudices Americans have long held onto the idea that tolerance is somehow intrinsic to our success and way of life.

All that seems to have changed radically over the past 25 years during which time tolerance has evolved into a very one-way street, essentially becoming a tool of social blackmail wherein certain activists demand, in the name of tolerance, that the rest of us endorse and approve their favored agendas. To resist or to express any opinion to the contrary is to be mercilessly demonized as a “hater,” especially when your own views reflect traditional Christian values. Christianity, precisely because it holds us all accountable to some minimal social and moral standard, is thereby derided as cruel, divisive, inequitable, even hateful. And the benefits of toleration no longer needs be extended to any individual, group, or institution that is already deemed systemically hateful.

Fr. Jackson, Sound of Freedom, & a Road to Purity

I have received many responses to my last post regarding Fr. Jmes Jackson’s guilty plea in a Federal court to receiving CSAM (child pornography). While most comments were sad or hopeful, a few were ugly and bitter. People naturally feel angry and betrayed at such moments and, to be clear, I am neither positively asserting Father’s guilt or innocence. My only purpose was to ponder the pecular circumstances of his case.

I have since obtained newer information which offers more clarity regarding his plea. Even so we may never know the actual degree of Father’s moral culpability. For instance, what are the possible effects of a 20 year old Right Orbitofrontal Brain Tumor on his behavior, or could some early childhood sexual trauma have been a contributing factor? Such questions are admittedly far beyond my pay grade. It now appears that he did knowingly receive and view CSAM although there is no indication of his ever “acting out” or attempting any kind of grooming or predatory action against minors. In fact, it seems that many of the images found in his possession were “virtual” computer generated images, or CGIs. It now seems more probable is that he suffers from some compulsion or addiction to (mostly female) child porn images.

We will never know what early influences or later life situations may have triggered such a compulsion. It is a sobering reminder that each and every human alive is to some extent broken. I myself am no exception. My mother often said, “there but for the grace of God go I.” That is why in our private judgments I believe that it is always best to err on the side of charity. This is not to excuse any deviant behaviors or to hide one’s head in the sand, but neither should we let our emotions or imaginations run wild, especially when we do not have all the relevant facts.

Vigano on the Traditional Mass

The following are excerpts from a recent letter by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano to the Bishop of Novara, Italy. His comments pretty well sums up the deploarble attitude of too many prelates in the current Bergolian church towards those faithful Catholics who yearn for the beauty and reverence of the traditional Sacred Liturgy, which is every Catholic’s rightful patrimony.

“Most Reverend Excellency,

“Your recent decision to suspend the celebration of the Tridentine Liturgy in the church of Vocogno and in the chapel of San Biagio in the Ossola Valleys (Piedmont, Italy) has provoked a great bitterness in the thousands of the faithful and in the priests who are tied to the Traditional Rite (here). After years of application of the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, the coldness with which you have executed Traditionis Custodes has aroused deep indignation, despite the fact that the Code of Canon Law gives diocesan Ordinaries faculties that would permit you to derogate from it…

“The “church of mercy” finds itself exercising its power with the force of coercion, which fails when it ought to instead be used to heal situations that are much more serious: theological deviations, moral aberrations, sacrileges and irreverences in the liturgical ambit, The image of the (present day) Hierarchy given to the people of God is summed up in the adage: Strong with the weak; weak with the strong. Which, if you will permit me to say so, is the exact opposite of what you pledged to do as a Bishop.

Ecclesial Freemasonry since Vatican II

    The Spring of 2020 witnessed something entirely unprecedented in the 2,000 year history of the Church. Under pressure from government officials the bishops of the world shut down the entire public sacramental life of God’s Church without a whimper of protest, and did so during the holiest season of the year, Lent and Eastertide. Nothing like it had ever been seen before. Under the most virulent Roman persecutions the Church was forced underground, but its sacramental life continued to flow and flourish in the chambers of the catacombs. The faithful continued to be fed in spite of the tremendous risk to life and property. The same can be said during the devastating plagues of the Middle Ages when priests and bishops continued ministering to the souls entrusted to their pastoral care.

    In times of great crisis or mortal threat pastors well understood that the sacraments became even more so a necessary and efficacious means of strengthening their flocks against physical and spiritual perils. So what happened in 2020 represents an inexplicable and entirely novel reaction on the part of prelates to a supposed threat, callously barring church doors against their own people ─ on Easter Sunday no less! Rather than working to dispel fear, the fecklessness of many pastors only heightened the tension and enabled manipulative fear mongering by secular public authorities. Something had certainly changed in the general attitude of our cowering prelates. Had they never read the response posed by Peter and John? “Whether it is right to obey men rather than God…” (Acts 4:19)

The Fall of Rome ~ Part II

History moves in a circular motion. The old civil / military Roman Empire was a power which disintegrated in the 5th century mostly from internal rot and corruption. In the vacuum left behind there arose a new kind of Ecclesial Roman Empire. We know it today as the Roman Catholic Church. But, like its predecessor, this ecclesial empire is on the verge of crumbling, again mostly from the effects of internal corruption. Granted, throughout the intervening centuries it has threatened to topple more than once, beset by mismanagement and even moral corruption, yet it is still with us, undoubtedly through Divine support and assistance. But the present crisis is acute and alarming as any that Ecclesial Rome has ever had to face to date. It seems many in the highest echelons of the Church’s leadership have decided to align themselves with the Freemasonic secular globalist agenda, even to the point of persecuting their own clerics who remain faithful to the Church’s most long-held traditions.

The following is excerpted from my recent follow up essay on Masonic Illuminism (which I will shortly post in its entirety) entitled: Masonic Illuminism ~ “Elites” Waging War on Humanity; on Religion; on your Family. Please read this section, and share widely with your friends and family, concerning the subtle attack on the historic Faith of our Fathers at the hands of “progressive” theologians such as Karl Rahner, beginning back in the 1960s. If we are not aware of a threat we cannot intelligently oppose it and, following the example of our neighbors and great patriotic Canadian truckers, this fight cannot wait till another day.

Taken from Masonic Illuminism, Part 3 ~ Illuminism’s Final Assault

Renowned theologian Dietrich von Hildebrand rightly notes that (Rahner’s) ambiguity (regarding Communism, Freemasonry, etc.) is less an error than an outright deception which only gives the impression of sharing common ground. He goes on to observe, “Such a misrepresentation of the facts leads not to dialogue, but rather to a wishful (and dangerous) minimizing of the differences between Christianity and Communism… The ambiguous use of terms by (such) Catholics, therefore, only serves Communist propaganda and spreads confusion among Catholics themselves.”

Reflections on the “Year of Abnormal”

Farewell to 2021, a most difficult year in recent memory. Like it or not, we have entered a world where abnormality is set to become the new normal. 2021 was the year in which authoritarian autocrats at all levels were emboldened by the (fake) “pandemic” to publicly show their true faces of intolerance and despotic control. It’s been a year of helplessly watching the world go from mad to even madder ~ even as those maddest of hatters accusingly point their fingers at the few remaining sane ones as being the problem. The inmates have overrun the asylum!

Case in point #1 would be the mask lunacy that has become a kind of tribal rite. Even after mass delivered so-called “vaccinations” and natural or acquired immunities have been widely achieved, citizens are still bullied into covering their faces ~ no doubt as a mark of submission to their corporate and various other authoritarian overlords (like pizza clerks with an overdeveloped sense of righteousness). The mask thing has now reached the ludicrous level of medieval superstition, totally divorced from any medical evidence or rudimentary scientific logic. What these mandates really smack of is cynical leaders intentionally creating and promoting mass psychosis in order to bolster their own power. Politicians especially seem keen on replacing legislative governance with executive rule by keeping the fallacy of some life threatening “state of emergency” front and center in people’s consciousness.
