Fiducia Supplicans, a False Blessing

I was naive enough to hope that the Vatican had finished inflicting its yearly quota of modernist damage via Pope Francis’ pet Synod on Sin-odality accompanied by the brutish cancellations of Bishop Joseph Strickland and Raymond Cardinal Burke. It appears I was either too hasty or perhaps overly optimistic. As a parting Christmas sock filled with coal delivered to the entire Catholic world, Jorge Bergoglio’s doctrinal strong man, Victor Cardinal Fernandez, released a new Declaration, Fiducia supplicans, one week to the day before the solemn celebration of Christ’s birth. This latest Francis bombshell, released with his full approbation, appears designed not so much to clarify pastoral questions regarding the dispensation of blessings as to intentionally create confusion,chaos, and agitate controversy. Such divisive aims were certainly accomplished cum laude based on the immediate and wildly divergent responses, both pro and con, from various bishops around the world.

These days, the Vatican routinely launders heresy the way organized crime launders money (although the Holy See has engaged in its fair share of that as well) by burying its poison in fine sounding phrases. One example could be where the new document quotes Francis directly, “We are more important to God than all the sins we can commit because he is father, he is mother, he is pure love…(par. 27) Wait a minute, did Bergoglio just go radical feminist and call God our mother or is this just another of his patented shock value statements? In the Declaration, Cardinal Fernandez employs a bucket full of verbose linguistic sophistry to hide and obfuscate his underlying intentions, which seems to be clearing a pathway for persons in irregular marriages and homosexual unions to have those unions somehow recognized, whether in an official or unofficial capacity, by the Church. After all his boss, Jorge Bergoglio, has made no secret of his view that same-sex couples are entitled to civil recognition, and with the latest Declaration he seems to be laying the groundwork to impose some kind of “quasi-legitimate” status on same-sex unions within the Church itself.

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

Posted on by

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

Posted on by
Reply

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

Posted on by

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.

1917 and Lies that Kill

Posted on by

“Governments lie for a living. That’s not conspiracy theory: that is how governments operate because they deal in power. They don’t deal in truth.” Those words come from economist Jeffrey Sachs in a recent New York Magazine (March, 2023) interview. Sachs is no conservative pundit. He is one of the global elite: an adviser to the World Economic Forum, the Vatican, and an avowed population control enthusiast. He is not being cynical, rather he is speaking from the insider’s point of view; opening the curtain just a bit to give us a glimpse of what really happens in the control room. We may disagree with his political stance but I think it fair to assume that he knows what he is talking about.

Watching our own government in action over the past three years only verifies what Mr. Sachs is saying. We have witnessed in plain view a dual system of justice in this country, one standard for the elite and privileged insiders and another standard, harsher and more punitive, for everyone else. Case in point: contrast the treatment meted out by the FBI to pro-lifer Mark Houck versus the president’s wayward son, Hunter Biden. Houck’s home was raided by an FBI SWAT team last September who terrorized his entire family (including 7 children) over a minor shoving incident at a Pennsylvania abortuary. Thankfully a jury subsequently acquitted Houck of the felonies he was charged with by the DOJ. Meanwhile the same agency spent nearly four years slow-walking their investigation of the Biden laptop containing tons of potentially incriminating evidence of foreign influence peddling, illegal drug use, unreported income, etc. Hunter has been treated with kid gloves throughout, finally pleading guilty to two insignificant misdemeanors. Compare that to numerous grandmas convicted of felony obstruction charges to the clamorous applause of legacy media simply for being escorted by police into the Capitol on January 6.

According to Jack Maxey who recovered much of the deleted material on the Biden laptop, there has been this quiet but cozy relationship between news reporters and intelligence agencies for a long time now. The watchdogs of democracy have apparently become the paid lapdogs of the very folks in power whom they are supposedly watching. Maxey says, “Much of the media is beholden to U.S. intelligence; I think they always have.” As a result he continues, “now they are reluctant to report on their paymasters.” Assuming him to be correct this means that our mainstream “free press” has been captured to become more of a propaganda arm for government than playing its proper role as an independent investigative institution which holds government accountable.

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

Posted on by

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.

Fr. James Jackson FSSP ~ Culprit or Patsy?

Posted on by

On Thursday June 8, 2023 Fr. James Jackson FSSP entered a guilty plea to felony receiving of CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) in a Rhode Island Federal Court after his initial arrest in Providence, R.I. on Oct. 30, 2021. This “plea bargain” was the outcome of a lengthy legal battle between the United States Attorney (DOJ) and Fr. Jackson’s defense attorney John Calcagni III. During his indictment Fr. Jackson initially pleaded “not guilty” to the charges of the U.S. Attorney. The case was set to go to trial this June 20. As happens in the majority of DOJ cases this one ended in a plea deal under terms of what most fair minded persons would describe as a legal shake down. No surprises here. This is the way our criminal justice system routinely operates. Prosecutors string together a rambling laundry list of intimidating charges in order to get defendants to settle for some lesser violation and punishment. And since it’s extremely costly and time consuming to put together a defense, 95% of the time defendants will simply capitulate and plead guilty to reduced charges.

Because of Fr. Jackson’s position as a traditional Roman Catholic priest in the Latin Rite FSSP, this story generated a lot of interest. Along with much reporting, most of it negative, there came the inevitable avalanche of online chatter which included countless uncharitable comments, some verging on the scurrilous ─ most by self-professing Catholics who aimed their mud-balls at a priest of God! It should sadden any faithful Catholic that there are those of us all to ready and willing to turn on our own priests like dogs fighting over a piece of red meat. Many of those pundits portray Fr. Jackson as some sort of monster vis a vis Theodore McCarrick even though, in this particular case, a better comparison might be the patently unjust conviction meted out to George Cardinal Pell.

Catholics, even traditional ones, seem all too quick to forget their own history. Consider St. Joan of Arc who, if you recall, was condemned and executed for being a sorceress and an unrepentant heretic. During her trial she was utterly abandoned by the armies she had led to victory, betrayed by the King she had restored, and found guilty by an ecclesiastical court. 500 years later the same Church which had condemned Joan declared her a saint. Her case proves just how biased and unreliable contemporary judgments sometimes prove to be. History often judges things through a different lens than the one through which we are currently peering.

Hiding From the Truth

Being in the process of moving to a new city, I confess to having been remiss in posting any new articles over the past few months. Yet in that short time period the saner elements in our society seem to have been toppled by radical, left-wing wokeism, as evidenced by the absurd stories and lies being passed off as headlines. Consider the wave of crime and violent rampages sweeping through many of our major cities which the mandarins of so-called mainstream news networks attribute to food starved youth (all carrying expensive smart phones), or flash mob vandals who loot and burn businesses with impunity yet are blithely excused as exacting overdue “reparations” to which they, as minorities, are surely entitled. Besides, in a racist world the police who protect that racist system need to go, or at least be hamstrung in enforcing racist laws.

Meanwhile, in Nashville, a resentful trans activist cold-bloodedly murders six innocent children and teachers at a Christian school, but the White House chooses to identify itself not with the murdered nine year olds or their families but with the violent perpetrator of this horrific crime – supposedly a tragic victim of transphobic prejudice! Only a half-senile president would even fathom such an absurd narrative. What we are witnessing alongside the death of reason is the deliberate suppression of any truthful dialogue. The whole point is to support a political myth that white Christianity is a dangerous, toxic, and oppressive burden upon society that must be resisted and ultimately rooted out. Perhaps the real problem is not supposedly hateful Christians beating up on trans people but rather a blanket rejection of Christian morality which has enjoined a culture of violent, narcissistic, drug and sex abusers. What we are witnessing is a moral bankruptcy which the left for decades has been promoting as “progressive values.”

The progressive left has thus created a hive mentality which disproportionately affects those young people who have never acquired any good understanding of history, and so they are easily radicalized. Within these Alinsky styled tribal identity groups founded on shared resentments moral rectitude, self control, and even basic honesty are all equated with an attack on one’s basic freedoms. Evil they call good, and good is evil. And the masterminds of this whole diabolical agenda rely heavily on an essential tactic ~ hiding the truth, while hiding from the truth.
