The evil in the Church has aligned with
the evil in politics against people of good will both in and outside of the
Church in what Karl Marx would have described as dialectical materialism, which
requires conflict between a thesis and an antithesis, which results in a
synthesis, and thus progress toward an imagined perfection. This is totally diabolical, of course,
because it suggests the natural order established by God can evolve and must
evolve into a world without God and exist only materially without any reference
to spiritual being or eternal truth.
Mary Ann Kreitzer’s letter published recently on Lifesite News addressed to mealy mouthed coward bishop Callahan was
beautiful. Click and read it if you have not already. This kind of resistance to evil is more
necessary today than ever before. We are
experiencing one of those rare times when both the political world and the
Roman Catholic Church are both on a serious brink of destruction. The evil one has decided to rise up against
all----politically, economically, spiritually, and physically.
When AlexanderTschugguel took action against a pagan idol in a sacred space, in a
Catholic Church in Rome, he acted for so many of us who are sidelined by
fear. We tell ourselves, well; I have
more to think about than myself. I have
a family to consider, or a reputation, or a career. Alexander inspired us and proved that
sometimes it takes only a small thing to make a very big difference. (To this day no action has been taken against
him by the owner of the wooden idol, by the Diocese of Rome, or by any secular
court of law.)
Nick Sandman is another. A meek unknown teenager leaned not on his own
authority or network of power, but on what he learned in Church about how to
address evil when it stares you in the eye.
Nick said in an interview that he kept thinking, as the Indian pounded
the drum, I mustn’t do anything to disgrace or embarrass my parents. You don’t
back down, you don’t run in fear, you don’t cower and concede, you lean on God
and stand confidently by what you know is right. Nick is now a hero to many and an example to
all of us who think there is nothing we can do.
This is not true, of course.
There is something we can all do and
should be doing more fervently and more faithfully than we care to admit. We must pray without ceasing that God’s will
be done on earth as it is in heaven.
And when we pray, we must make it our intention to cooperate with that
prayer by making our own lives as obedient to the Father as are those of the
heavenly beings in eternity among whom we wish to be when our life here is
over.
History has a strange way of unfolding
quite rapidly on the one hand, seen from a distance, and very slowly to those
present as it occurs. To read it in a
400 page history/synopsis can take maybe three or four weeks to cover,
depending on how fast you read and comprehend, what in reality occurred over a decade or even
four or five decades. When you are
actually living it, you may be too close to the events to understand that, in
hindsight, they will have been connected in ways you could not “connect.” It is easy to say, what was the matter with
those people? Didn’t they know? Couldn’t they see where this or that policy
would end? In every case of this sort we
can cite and take as an opportunity to second guess, there actually were
people who could see, who did know, who fully understood where the ideas and
philosophy being advanced would take them.
Dietrich von Hildebrand is a good
example. He lectured until his message in
universities was completely rejected by the listeners and banned by the
government. The economist Ludwig von
Mises, who warned about socialism, is another who warned and warned until he
too left in fear of his life. One, a
theologian, the other an economist, they knew the inevitable tragedy of
following a godless path and inventing a structured society without respect for
God, human nature, and natural talent. There
were also men at the Second Vatican Council who knew the schemes and plans
being seeded in the documents purposefully to destroy the Church. Cardinal Ottaviani and Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre
are two names all should recall and understand their warnings were loud and
clear, but sadly ignored. Ottaviani died soon after the council and Lefebvre
was ridiculed, shamed, and shunned, from then until he died by people who
wished to discredit him and those also who were led by their naiveté to hate what they were told to hate. Today is no different.
We do have people raising the red flag and saying
this is not right! They are writers and
clergymen, like Fr. James Altman, like Bishop Joseph Strickland, Bishop
Athanasius Schneider, and Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, who has recently
reiterated the objections of Lefebvre to the dismay of the guilty who believe
they are about to see their dreams fulfilled. Many others cry out against the one world
order, against the evil of socialism, and those also who speak to the fact
Catholic Truth is being buried or rewritten, ignored and deemed non essential, disregarded
and laughed at.
Not only are the forces of evil aligned----those
in governments, in secret societies, in the highest ranks of our Church, but
also the patriotic warriors of freedom and the faithful soldiers of the Church
Militant on earth now recognize what the enemy is in a way never more united
and are prepared to resist. This is a
time of taking sides like we may never have seen before in all of recorded
history. It is a time of family member
against family member, of politician against politician, bishop against bishop,
and cardinal against cardinal.
When we pray, “St. Michael, defend us
in battle,” we should be more aware than ever that THIS IS the battle of which
we speak. Not everyone is called to lecture
or preach, or write, but we are all required to speak up against error
in our own little circle of friends and acquaintances, and we are all required
to seek and find the Truth for the salvation of our eternal souls and the political
method we need to carry on in society until the last day. Sadly, many have never heard the names of
those who have taken action, who have spoken out, who write regularly to
try to convince people to reject error---both political and spiritual. They are not interested in finding out.
I believe history will tell us it was
no accident that Donald Trump came along to lead this country out of peril and no coincidence that at the same time the
Catholic Church was itself within an inch of selling its authority to
globalists and abandoning its mission, that a simple parish priest in La Crosse, Wisconsin, few had ever heard of, hurled a message
that shook the giants of both the Church as well as the titans of politics as
surely as the stone thrown by David at the forehead of Goliath.
Prior to now, conservatives in the
Church have been shamed to be more compassionate and charitable. As
voters we were told to drink at the font of compassionate conservatism,
illuminated by the "points of light" ---- whatever the hell that
is. We have been trained to not be hard hearted or mean spirited.
To meet people "where they are," to dialogue endlessly with those we
disagree. To donate your $$ to organizations with happy "nice
sounding" titles without question and accept the idea Doctrine must
evolve to meet the needs of a connected world.
And just when the Church hierarchy at
the very top and globalist new world order believers were in lock step, you
could say,.... a king of industry, construction, and financial deal making came
along and said no to their plans and a little disciple with a vow to preach the
truth in a small Midwestern town said what had long needed to be said. They along with those of us who take inspiration
from them can be sure that the inconceivable can happen when it is the desire
of righteous men and the will of God to intervene on their behalf.
We must never forget, the rulers of
this world are no different than the enemies of the chosen nation of God in the
Old Testament. They opposed His laws and His hierarchical order for
mankind. They refused to obey. And
the giants then, (see Numbers 13:1-33) who fought their battles, are no
different than the wicked among the clergy today that claim power over our
souls. It is the hope of these evil
doers that they will prevail against us, but our hope is in the power of God to
protect and guide us through this and all storms of life.
I was angered when I read in a newer bible translation the quote of St. Paul, "I have competed well" rather than fought the good fight, 2 Tim 4:7. Like he had been in a golf match. Who is responsible? Errors and confusion everywhere we look.
ReplyDeleteHear the joke about the Amish who were asked why they had no Covid? They said,
"we don't watch TV."
Keep charging Chriss. The meek shall inherit the earth. But, Chriss, with your example written here, the meek should still step up and make a difference in any way we can. Thank you for your dedication to The Catholic Church and drive that sets you apart in making that difference!
