I’m so excited. I see a lot of fidelity in those guys who are there.

Today your humble blogger turns his humble gaze to an area of the ECCLESIASTICAL sub-set of the Visibilium Omnium that is the biggest success story in this disaster that is the Bergoglian spiritual Jonestown, a.k.a. the Francis bishopric of Rome.

I will begin today with PROOF, and work backwards to the EVIDENCE.

Here is PROOF of the above SUPPOSITION: (see here)

PERSEVERANCE, PATIENCE AND MEEKNESS

115. Christians too can be caught up in networks of verbal violence through the internet and the various forums of digital communication. Even in Catholic media, limits can be overstepped, defamation and slander can become commonplace, and all ethical standards and respect for the good name of others can be abandoned. The result is a dangerous dichotomy, since things can be said there that would be unacceptable in public discourse, and people look to compensate for their own discontent by lashing out at others. It is striking that at times, in claiming to uphold the other commandments, they completely ignore the eighth, which forbids bearing false witness or lying, and ruthlessly vilify others. Here we see how the unguarded tongue, set on fire by hell, sets all things ablaze (cf. Jas 3:6).

Footnotes

[73] Detraction and calumny are acts of terrorism: a bomb is thrown, it explodes and the attacker walks away calm and contented. This is completely different from the nobility of those who speak to others face to face, serenely and frankly, out of genuine concern for their good.

What Francis is referring to in the above paragraph and footnote is what he calls “Copraphagia”. Here’s a post that captures the core issue titled Connecting The Dots On The Coprophagian Papacy…

But what is unsaid in the above, and what would make the above critique of the “internet and various forums of digital communications” consistent, dare I say RATIONAL, would be the KNOWLEDGE on the part of Francis of the IMPLIED INTENT of the given authors.

More generally, in order to assess whether certain forms of communications are “acts of terrorism”, the assessor would need to know (or at least be able to prove) ILL INTENT on the part of the author.

And given that this is the “who am I to judge?” bishopric of Rome, that bar has been set relatively HIGH!

Now, giving Francis the benefit of the doubt, there is a group of communications and internet entities whose INTENT Francis would know. These are obviously people like Frs. Rosica, Martin and Spadaro, i.e. those who sit with him daily at the refectory table at the Domus Sanctae Marthae. The logical inference would be that Francis is speaking to these folks in the above two paragraphs.

On the other side of the “internet and the various forums of digital communication” divide are folks like yours truly, Paul Eddington (aka Mundabor), Louie Verrecchio (aka Catholic), Michael Matt (The Remnant), et al. These folks do not come into contact with either Francis or his entourage, therefore it would be hard for Francis to know the INTENT behind why these people write what it is that they write.

From the critical examination of the literature produced by this latter group, and to the best of this humble blogger’s knowledge, your humble blogger has not run into anything written that could constitute implicit ILL INTENT toward Francis.

Now, this does not mean that harsh (but fair) words have not been written and that edgy words have not been used. Yet is would be a CALUMNY to imply that these words were written with ILL INTENT.

Here is one such example. In a recent post written by Paul Eddington, aka Mundabor, we get this passage: (see here)

Those who, like me, call the man various names (none of which libelous, because all of them very accurate), like “idiot”, “ass”, “boor”, “cretin”, and the like, are merely describing a state of fact, and are alerting their readership about the dangers of, actually, not seeing the facts on the ground because of the reverence due to the office.

The question then becomes, are these types of descriptors harsh, but fair words to use when describing the actions of Francis?

And here is one example of the legitimacy of using a term like “idiot” when speaking about Francis. On three separate occasions, Francis gave an interview or had a talk with a self avowed enemy of the Catholic Church. The self-avowed enemy, one Eugenio Scalfari subsequently related a quote from Francis that suggested that Francis has lost the Faith with respect to at least two Catholic dogmas. (eternal nature of a soul and the existence of hell). After this information appeared in the public domain, Francis did not correct this material heresy attributed to him, nor did he instruct his communications people to correct it. Furthermore, after the first instance, he allowed himself to be “used” in this manner two more times. The last time, the material heresy was even placed inside quotation marks.

Those are the facts.

Now, what to make of the above. If one was to harshly assess Francis’ behavior, one would say that Francis espouses material heresy INTENTIONALLY.

If one was to assess Francis’ behavior in the most beneficial of manners, one would say that Francis has mental issues. One word that describes this sorts of behavior is that it is the behavior of an IDIOT.

Here is the Wikipedia definition:

An idiot, dolt, dullard or (archaically) mome is a person perceived to be lacking intelligence, or someone who acts in a self-defeating or significantly counterproductive way. Along with the similar terms moron, imbecile, and cretin, the word archaically referred to the intellectually disabled, but have all since gained specialized meanings in modern times. An idiot is said to be idiotic, and to suffer from idiocy.

Therefore, any entity on the “internet and the various forums of digital communication” medium designating the person who behaves in such a manner as an IDIOT, is actually being very CHARITABLE.

Concluding, what is key to note in the above is that the part of the “internet and the various forums of digital communication” medium that is criticizing Francis and his actions is very effective. This can be seen by the reference in a document produced under the auspices of a Roman Pontificate.

Next, the harshness, severity and implied ILL INTENT on the part of the “Joy of whatever…” authors, suggest that the criticism is OBJECTIVELY REAL. In fact, it is so representative of OBJECTIVE REALITY that others who were not inclined to critical analysis of a Pontificate, or even a lowly administrative bishopric of Rome, are now writing books doing just this.

The implied intent of the author of this FrancisDocument “The Joy of something or other…” is to intimidate Faithful Catholics and others, not to criticize Francis by labeling them as “terrorists”. A totally asymmetric and UNCHARITABLE assessment of what it is in fact that these individuals are doing.

The most likely reason behind this escalation (from THIS HERE into the form of a full fledged FrancisDocument) of the FrancisIntimidation of Catholic authors critical of Francis and his bishopric of Rome is that their NARRATIVE is becoming the accepted version of REALITY among the Vatican decision makers who not only keep Francis in his current position, but will also be the ones who elect the next Roman Pontiff.

The representation of REALITY that is offered by individuals such as Ross Douthat, Phil Lawler and Henry Sire is a further problem to Francis and Team Francis since it can’t be RECONCILED with their FAKE NARRATIVE. What we are seeing is that the #fakenews media and parts of the “c”atholic #fakenews media are still propping up the FAKE NARRATIVE of Francis and his team, but the middle and upper management are already in the camp of the OBJECTIVE REALITY.

Here is the latest confirmation to have appeared of just this:

Yes, the above appears to be a correct assessment of the situation.. in Occam’s Razor terms.

So all in all, I think this is a correct reading of the situation.

As to the KEY VARIABLE to watch going forward, of more importance than the KIRCHENSTEUER or any other “interim” (in Roman Time) funding sources are the CROWDS in St. Peter’s Square and those coming (or not coming) to the General Audiences. They serve as the proxy for the state of the post-conciliar church in terms of WALLETS IN THE PEWS.

The CROWDS or rather the absence of the CROWDS is the KEY determinant to whether the middle and upper management of the Vatican accepts the Francis FAKENARRATIVE or the Catholic REALITY BASED NARRATIVE.

This will most likely be the foremost thought in the minds of the Cardinal Electors as they are going into the next CONCLAVE.

And this is regardless of who FRANCIS makes a CARDINAL.

This is the correct ordering of the relationship between these two variables.

Epilogue: Even if the post-conciliar church loses the KIRCHENSTEUER (German Church Tax) proceeds, they can be made up through the disposal of property in the short term, but at the end of the day, through the wallets (and new converts) in the pews in the mid and long term. Contingency plans of this nature are already in place in most of the Western dioceses.

But if Cardinals lose the remaining WALLETS in the PEWS, as represented by the CROWDS (or lack there of) in St. Peter’s Square, it is only a question of time until they lose the KIRCHENSTEUER also, and become a Norwegian Blue nailed to the cage.

And this is because the KIRCHENSTEUER or any other interim source of funds, like the human trafficking ObamaFunds flowing into the US Catholic Conference of Bishops, is in fact a function of the number of WALLETS in the PEWS.

Young (At Heart) FrancisChurch Reaching Tipping Point…

Over the last couple of days, your humble blogger has been posting on the subject of #FAKE NARRATIVES. And just as a quick refresher, fake narratives based on #fakenews create a VIRTUAL REALITY that is then used in a GASLIGHTING PROCESS to convince the gullible viewer that what he is seeing is in fact real.

The problem with virtual realities is that they are not sustainable. The reason being that they do not conform to OBJECTIVE REALITY. And as has been pointed out time and again, eventually… 2+2 must equal 4.

The PROCESS by which the various virtual realities meet objective reality is through what we have labeled as the CONVERGENCE PROCESS.

So over the last few days, we have been identifying some of the CONVERGENCE PROCESSES that are playing themselves out in real time. One is what is known as the OBAMAGATE where the VIRTUAL REALITY is being played out by Special Council Mueller while the OBJECTIVE REALITY is being defined by the three Congressional Committees and the Inspector General.

Another CONVERGENCE PROCESS has played itself out this past Sunday in Italy where the VIRTUAL REALITY had the populist 5 Star Movement locked in a tie with the major post-Communist Leftist party, namely the Partito Democratico (PD) at roughly 28% of the vote respectively. And when this VIRTUAL REALITY was reconciled with OBJECTIVE REALITY, namely the Italian voters, it turned out that 5 Star Movement had 32% while the PD didn’t even get 19% of the vote. Needless to say, this threw the entire post election government forming process into a unknown scenario since the most votes were, unexpectedly received by the Center Right coalition represented by Matteo Salvini, Giorgia Meloni and Silvio Berlusconi.

And finally, another instance in which this CONVERGENCE PROCESS is presently playing itself out, and one first identified many, many months ago by your humble blogger is what can be called the Jordan Peterson PHENOMENON. Since November and December of 2016, this blog has observed and chronicled the intrinsic Catholic nature of the subject matter of the clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson’s lectures and various talks. Dr. Peterson’s work can be viewed as the OBJECTIVE REALITY that he is attempting to discern while the post-conciliar FrancisTheology of Death ™ would be the VIRTUAL REALITY that is heading head long into a collision with OBJECTIVE REALITY. The support for the above HYPOTHESIS would be that this intrinsic Catholic nature of Dr. Peterson’s work is now being recognized by individuals and publications who specialize in the theological and ecclesiastical sub-set of the Visibilium Omnium.  (see here, here and here just to mention three)

So today your humble blogger transitions to the ECCLESIASTICAL side of the Visibilium Omnium and shine the disinfecting sunlight onto the above identified VIRTUAL REALITY.

Over at Father Z’s blog we find a post titled Pew Research Center looks at Pope Francis’ numbers 5 years into his pontificate. Drilling into the source document of this post, namely the Pew Research poll, we find the following table:

So all in all, Francis is relatively “popular”, i.e. more popular than Pope Benedict XVI but less popular than Pope JPII “the great”.

Yet we know from our sensory data, i.e. observations from the crowd sizes at the FrancisEvents at St. Peter’s Square, that the crowd size estimates taken by the Vatican officials are running at less than 30% of those crowds that were present for similar events under the previous two Pontiff’s.

So it would appear that there is a disconnect.

Further, in that same research post, we get the following graphs:

The above graph could be understood to represent what could be called the “internal” components of the research results. And these internals are showing the following:

1. During the period from 2014 to 2018, the percentage of US Catholics who have a Favorable opinion of Francis decreased from 85% to 84%, while those US Catholics who have an Unfavorable opinion of Francis increased from 4% to 9%.
2. During the period from 2015 to 2018, the percentage of US Catholics who say Compassionate ( 94% to 94%) and Humble (91% and 91%) describes Francis did not change.
3. During the period from 2015 to 2018, the percentage of US Catholics who held the position that Francis is a Major change for the better dropped from 69% to 58%, while those who say that Francis is a Major change for the worse increased from 3% to 7%. (Those claiming that Francis is Not a major change also increased from 17% to 26%.)

So those are the raw data points. But when looking at these numbers on a percentage change basis, we are a witness to quite an important PHENOMENON. Here is the table with the percentage change figures:

Several observations about the above percentage change table.

First, over the time period measured, the general satisfaction with Francis’ tenure at  the bishopric of Rome can be characterized by strong evidence of “dissatisfaction”.

Among those who were “favorably disposed” toward Francis in 2014, we see a slight decrease of this favorability ratings (-1%) and a larger drop in the opinion that Francis is a “change agent for the better (-16%).

Among those who presently view Francis’ reign as unfavorable, that number more than doubled (+125%) and those who saw Francis as a “change agent for the worse”, well this group increased by the most (+133%).

The second observation is with respect to the absolute values represented in this poll. If we return to our post titled What Terrifies FrancisChurch, Whether They Know It Or Not… (w/Update), the following passage appears:

“When the number of committed opinion holders is below 10 percent, there is no visible progress in the spread of ideas. It would literally take the amount of time comparable to the age of the universe for this size group to reach the majority,” said SCNARC Director Boleslaw Szymanski, the Claire and Roland Schmitt Distinguished Professor at Rensselaer. “Once that number grows above 10 percent, the idea spreads like flame.”

So if we were to assume that those respondents to the Pew Research poll who hold an unfavorable opinion of Francis (9%) and who think that his bishopric of Rome is a major change for the worse (7%) are those who can be classified as “committed opinion holders”, then what we are seeing is the approach to that 10% tipping point that the researchers from the SCNARC identified. 

Concluding, it is unfortunate that we have no data about what proportion of those 9% of the respondents who hold an unfavorable opinion of Francis or those 7% of respondents who think that this bishopric of Rome is a major change for the worse, can be classified as “committed opinion holders”.

However, we can observe the reaction by the decision makers behind the Sacred Vatican Walls to any developments that arise from within this “dissatisfied opinion holders” subset of the Faithful. Here are just three recent examples:

The Escalating War Against Orthodox Catholicism

Buzzfeed Does A Hit Piece on Father Z

For conservatives, sowing confusion

Therefore, what can be observed is that the threat of Tradition to the status quo, post-conciliar FrancisChurch is being treated so seriously, that the powers that be have reached out to the mainstream #fakenews, corporate owned media to try and shore up their #FAKENARRATIVE.

Yet, these desperate actions also contain an embedded SIGNALING EFFECT. What is being signaled is a demonstrable  weakness of the post-conciliar position. An example of this is a very powerful cardinal instructing the Faithful not to call him, TeamFrancis and Francis himself HERETICS.

A further sign of the weakness is the overt threats that appear almost daily. Here is one of the latest ones, a threat that Francis is getting ready to change the Traditional Calander and Lectionary to destroy the Traditional Latin Rite.

And then there are the young…

And finally, this:

So all in all, looks like the “young (at heart)” FrancisChurch is rapidly heading toward its tipping point…

Wonder if the Cardinals are watching?

Chile Rattles Bergoglio…

Today your humble blogger returns to a more ecclesiastical subject matter, in the conventional sense of that term. Today I would like to talk about Chile.

Your humble blogger’s take on the Francis trip to Chile and Peru is that Chile rattled Bergoglio!

The first observation which supports the above HYPOTHESIS comes from the post-trip in-air press conference. Reading through the transcripts provided by Ed Pentin at the National Catholic Register (see here), we observe that references to the part of Francis’ trip pertaining to Peru were nonexistent in his comments.

It was ALL Chile, ALL THE TIME!

Before going on, please visit Sandro Magister’s blog HERE for the background info to Francis’ Chile “lio”.

Chile was to such an extent “living in Francis’ head rent free”… using a Rush Limbaugh metaphor, that he even answered a question about Chile that he was not asked. The reason he answered this “question about Chile” in the manner in which he did, is that it wasn’t at all about Chile, but rather about Francis and his bishopric of Rome. And he obviously felt that he MUST address this issue. 

The question that wasn’t asked, yet Francis felt that he needed to answer, dealt with something that was the most discussed part of his trip to Chile by the Catholic real news media, i.e. the Catholic blogo-sphere. This question that Francis answered also dealt with the most poignant optic derived from the FrancisTrip to Chile and can be seen here:

So here is that question asked by #fakenews CNN: (emphasis added)

Matilde Burgos, CNN Espanol: (Follow up question about Bishop Barros and about a possible distance between the Pope and the people in Chile)

And here is how Francis answered the later half of the question:

And the other (pertaining to the “possible distance”) from Chile is made up. 

I came from Chile happy, I did not expect that many people in the street. (see here) And they weren’t paying an entry fee. The people were not paid nor taken in collectively. The spontaneity of Chile was very strong, even in Iquique, and I thought it was going to be a little thing. But you saw what it was. In the south, the same and in Santiago, the same. The streets of Santiago spoke for themselves.

In this, I think that the responsibility of the informant is to go to the concrete facts. There was this, and this. The thing about a divided people, I do not know where it comes from, it is the first time I hear of it. Maybe Barros is the cause of this, but placing it in its reality it could be because of this. But my impression of Chile was very strong and rewarding. Then, I would like to go back a moment to what most moved me about Chile, at least a moment.

The question that Francis answered wasn’t about the metaphysical nature of the “distance between him and the people of Chile”, but rather about the physical one.  Specifically, about the lack of bodies in the streets and at FrancisFunctions.

This is quite interesting, if not outright telling, in that Francis is a completely superficial creature. Just like Evita Peron. To him, how many people come to see Francis equals those people’s “closeness” to him. And his initial answer to the question is nothing short of completely bizarre.

Think about the following logical construction: Why would more people come if they were charged an “entry fee”?

A completely irrational answer.

But remember, post-Modernists reject logic. So responding by saying “something” for a post-Modernist is much more attractive than saying “nothing”. The reason being that you can always “reinterpret” that which you said at a later date. Once again, to these folks words have no objective meaning and no common usage.

Don’t believe me?

See here:

Yes, in the post-Modernist delusion world, a papal honor and a “papal slight” can be one and the same.

Back to the story.

The second part of his answer is even more telling. The reasoning goes like this: “The people were not paid nor taken in collectively”.

So Francis figures out his initial claim was irrational and does a quick 180 degree turn, but then goes down the Fidel Castro rabbit hole. The casual way in which Francis throws out an example straight from the Castro playbook about corralling “bodies” into the Plaza de la Revolucion is quite astonishing.

Think about this for a second or two…

He sees himself along the lines of the guy feeding the pigeons.

And then consider this HERE.

There is also a nagging thought after contemplating the above, that Francis is actually signalling to the Chilean bishops that they should have used Fidel’s tactics for lining the streets of Santiago for Francis’ visit.

Why else would he suggest say that?

Concluding, the reason why Francis might not be telling the truth when he said: “I came from Chile happy”, and that turn-out numbers really do matter is that Francis has a “popularity” problem. Or as we say on this blog, the SoapBubblePapacy™ created by the #fakenews media and the “c”atholic #fakenews media is bursting.

Just a reminder, here is the chronicle of one recent occurrence of this bubble burting  phenomenon:

And just as a friendly reminder, the 2016 figures will be the indicative numbers for the Francis Extraordinary Jubilee Year of FrancisMercy. (HERE is a CONTEXT post for your information)

On top of this FrancisDisaster, now we get this:

With the youth, Francis didn’t fare any better:

And in Chile (and Argentina) proper, it looks like Chile is the next South American country where the number of Chileans identifying as Catholics falls below 50% of the population.

Meanwhile back on the Old Continent in his native Vatican City and greater Italy, this:

While lurking in the background is the more powerful than ever … (see here and here and Sandro Magister’s take here)

And finally, I will leave you dear readers off with one question.

Given all of the above, who’s idea was it to have Francis, the bishop of Rome, pick Chile, the country in which he made the biggest FrancisMess, to visit in the first place?

 

 

 

Predictions for 2018 – Organic Development Of The “Future Council Of Econe” Narrative…

Greetings in the New Year!

I am going to start this post… and year off on a self-congratulatory note. On the Feast of St. Sylvester, known to you and me as New Year’s Eve, the Deus ex Machina blog recorded its 500,000 page view. Given that this blog was launched on the 8th of November 2014 or roughly 1150 days ago (actually relaunched since first few trial posts appeared one year earlier), this means that it has averaged about 435 page views per day.

Never would have imagined… if you know what I mean.

So one New Year resolution is to keep on keeping on…

Now on to the subject at hand. Today, on New Year’s Day I will start the new year off with some predictions.

As you dear and loyal readers know, its one thing to report while it’s quite another to forecast. What separates the two is what is known as “analysis”. And what separates the good analyst from your average one is the “predictivability” (yes, it is an actual word) of the analysis.

So when you dear reader come over to this blog, what you in fact read is your humble blogger’s engaging in “predictive analytics” (Encompassing a variety of statistical techniques from predictive modelling, machine learning, and data mining that analyze current and historical facts to make predictions about future or otherwise unknown events.)

Moving on to the first of the predictions themselves…

Prediction #1

First out of the gate, I will start off with a prediction and simultaneously provide a validatory example.

Starting with the validatory example…

As my dear and loyal readers know, from time to time I allude to the “future Council of Econe”. This is an attempt to start building a NARRATIVE on the part of your humble blogger.

Now this “future Council of Econe” NARRATIVE is not like your average run of the mill, FAKE NEWS media narrative. What separates this narrative out from the rest is that it will be one that is “organically developed”. By organic development, what is meant is that it conform to the following methodology:

Organic Development: reconciliation of reason with revelation, of science with faith and of philosophy with theology, SUBJECT TO: that source of our Faith that comes from divine Revelation.

Given that the process of such organic development is quite slow, think Sacred Liturgy, what this blogger has been doing is “sowing the seeds” for this organic narrative when there appears to be fertile ground.

One example of this strategy can be seen in the below Tweet:

As you can see from the above, yours truly was “piling on” to the Massimo Faggioli tweet here:

Needless to say, “Big Beans” as he is known in some parts of the Catholic blogosphere was trying to rattle the neo-con’s and Traditionalist’s cage with that tweet.

Among the responses to Signore “Big Beans” came from none other than the Catholic affairs journalist from the “Failing” FAKE NEWS NYTimes, Mr. Ross Douthat. Here is how Mr. Douthat responded:

Aside from the comic value of the above tweet, it would not be wise to see it exclusively in that CONTEXT.

What one needs to understand from the above information is that Mr. Douthat has in fact identified the objective reality of the present situation in the Universal Church, and that objective reality is what is known as a “binary opposite”. What we are dealing with here is a situation that the respective positions of Rahner and Archbishop Lefebvre are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. Or at least in the opinion of Mr. Douthat.

No Hegelian “wiggle room” what… so… ever…

… and quite radical position for someone writing for the NY Times, if you ask me…

Drilling down a bit further into this tweet, what Mr. Douthat’s tweet encases is the non-violation of the third Law of Thought, i.e. the law of the Excluded Middle. And just as a reminder, that law states: for any proposition, either that proposition is true, or its negation is true. But they both can’t be true simultaneously.

Therefore, ceteris paribus either Rahner is a “saint” or Archbishop Lefebvre is a “saint”. But they can’t both be “saints” at the same time.

Or at least not in the same “religion”.

And that is what I would call an objectively true claim (conclusion) based on a correct premise!

Or what Stefan Molyneux would call an “argument”.

Aside, at the 15:00 minute mark, Stefan explains the difference between Catholicism and the protestant sects without knowing it.

Moving on to the wider context of narrative, what we are a witness to in Mr. Douthat’s tweet can easily be described as a germination of the “future Council of Econe” narrative.

What is happening is that mainstream Catholics, and writing for the failing NYTime must put one in that category, are recognizing the inherent contradiction within the FrancisTheology™ as espoused by “Big Beans” and the Francis himself.

This “organic development” comes on the back of developments chronicled in our post titled Restoration Round-up 2017: Congregation For The Doctrine Of The Faith Goes “Lefebvrian”… (w/Updates). In that post, we chronicled how the general meeting, or the plenaria of Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith also recognized that a return to Tradition, as espoused by the followers of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre is the solution to their “problems”. Once again, the relevant passage:

To be more specific, sometime in or before May of 2016, the CDF Plenaria, and according to Bp. Fellay, the Prefect of the CDF himself, realized that “what appeared to be the problem that is us (SSPX), maybe it looks like a solution (return to Tradition)” for the CDF’s problem with Modernism.

And the reason that it is a SOLUTION is as simple as this: a return to Tradition eliminates ALL the inherent contradictions presently subsiding in post-conciliar NUChurch.

And the only way to clear up PUBLICLY and DEFINITIVELY that the Catholic Church rejects the Modernist, neo-Modernist and post-Modernist ERRORS, not to mention reaffirms the FOUR MARKS of the indefectible ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC Church, is for a Council of Econe to pronounce that it is still so!

So going forward, my first prediction is that in 2018 there will be more sightings of this “future Council of Econe” narrative from the neo-conservatives, conservatives and small “t” traditionalists within the Catholic Church.

Your humble blogger will in turn be watching out for these sightings and chronicling them as they appear.

In the next post, a rather disheartening prediction.

So get ready for it, since your have been warned.

If I said it once, I will say it a thousand times: It’s a PROCESS.

Today on the ABYSSUS ABYSSUM INVOCAT  blog, we get a request for the wide dissemination of the below post. (see here)

Naturally, and given that the topic is near and dear to your humble blogger’s heart, this request is being granted.

Of further note, there are rumblings that the below suggested “road” is the one that is being taken.

Specifically, there are reports surfacing that one of the reasons Card. Muller was summarily dismissed was due to him amassing a body of evidence against Francis, the bishop of Rome.

What the good Cardinal was doing is cataloguing all the commentary and corrections that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, or rather some very “busy beavers” at the CDF were producing and subsequently submitting to Francis, in the run up to the promulgation of the satanic “Love of Sex” document.

All the commentary and corrections were rejected by TeamFrancis, as was to be expected but the paper trail remains.

It has also been observed that the people who were responsible for the production of this documentation were highly competent at what they were doing. In fact, they were so competent that they also were summarily dismissed earlier.

And no reason was given…

Note bene: Remember folks, at it’s ROOT, post-modernism is a rebellion against competence and meritocracy. But I digress…

Oh and here…

I digress again, but I must…

So what appears to be the case is that the CDF archives contain all the necessary documentation needed to put not only Bergoglio on trial, but his entire bishopric of Rome.

What this suggests is that the “thinking crowd” sees the PROCESS as being much wider than just removing Bergoglio from office. He will eventually go one way or another. But what will remain is the heretical stench. And it is this stench that will have to be cleaned up.

With that in mind, and a friendly reminder of the post Ockham’s Razor Finds: Benedict Still Pope, Francis Is False Pope, Universal Church in State of Necessity since 24 April, 2005, the picture of what is happening behind the Sacred Vatican Walls is becoming clearer.

And one more thing. Before we go to the republished post, I would also like to draw your attention to the lecture Bishop Fellay gave in mid 2016. Your humble blogger has transcribed parts of it in the post Satanic Council – The End Game w/Updates! , but it is highly recommended that you dear reader listen to it the lecture in its entirety. In this lecture, Bp. Fellay relates some observations regarding a conversation he had with the former Prefect of the CDF.

Of note is how accurate Bp. Fellay’s assessment and information was. In military jargon, one could say that the SSPX have an top-notch S2.

And now…

FOR THE RECORD

*****

“STOP”

Recent commentaries by blogger Steve Skojec (A Brief Note on The Question of a Legally Valid Papal Election) and canon lawyer Edward Peters (Francis was never pope? Call me unpersuaded.) are very misleading regarding their interpretation of Universi Dominici Gregis, paragraph 76.  Skojec does not acknowledge or reference Universi Dominici Gregis, paragraph 5 in his commentary, while Peters casually references paragraph 5 but goes on to makes it sound like canon lawyers have a role in the interpretation of Universi Dominici Gregis.

 

Neither canon lawyers, nor bishops, nor priests, nor laity have standing with regard to the official interpretation of Universi Dominici Gregis. 

 

“Should doubts arise concerning the prescriptions contained in this Constitution, or concerning the manner of putting them into effect, I (Pope John Paul II) decree that all power of issuing a judgment in this regard belongs to the College of Cardinals, to which I grant the faculty of interpreting doubtful or controverted points. I also establish that should it be necessary to discuss these or other similar questions, except the act of election, it suffices that the majority of the Cardinals present should concur in the same opinion.”  [Universi Dominici Gregis, paragraph 5] 

 

That being said, neither paragraph 5, nor anything else in Universi Dominici Gregis limits or espouses interpretation before, during, or after the papal conclave – and we do not know what the cardinals may or may not have discussed inside the conclave. 

 

John Arechiga’s commentary on the Election of Pope Francis Pursuant to Universi Dominici Gregis clearly addresses and quotes paragraph 5 in his section on the Powers of the College of Cardinals during the Vacancy of the Apostolic See. 

 

His interpretation of Universi Dominici Gregis is a personal opinion – to which he is   entitled.  Universi Dominici Gregis is essentially the Church’s “regulation”  that governs the election of the Roman Pontiff.  More importantly, his personal opinion is predicated on more than 30 years of federal service – auditing and investigating compliance with federal civilian and military “regulations”. 

 

It is my personal opinion that Universi Dominici Gregis, paragraph 76, established the criteria (“…or should the conditions laid down here not be observed “) for determining whether the papal election is or was valid; that “laid down here” refers to Universi Dominici Gregis in its entirety; that Chapter 5 (Matters To Be Observed or Avoided in the Election of the Roman Pontiff), paragraphs 78-86, are part of the referenced (“laid down here”) conditions to be observed; and that paragraphs 78-86 include additional penalties for failure to observe or avoid the enunciated conditions. 

 

Skojec and Peters have a myopic personal interpretation of paragraph 76 – consistent with what one would expect of a defense attorney floundering for a defense. 

 

Peters’ commentary (Francis was never pope? Call me unpersuaded.) again reminds John Arechiga of the time he called an old lawyer friend and asked what he was doing. He replied that he was working on “Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum and steel under a constrained environment.” John was impressed. However, upon further inquiry, John learned that his friend was washing dishes with hot water – under his wife’s supervision. 

 

It is essential that my commentary (Election of Pope Francis Pursuant to Universi Dominici Gregis) be widely disseminated.  Why?  Neither fraternal (i.e., Dubia) nor filial correction will dismantle the modernist infrastructure put in place by Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) – but a finding that the election of Bergoglio (Pope Francis) was invalid will invalidate his selection of modernist bishops and cardinals.  Compared to fraternal/filial correction, all concerned Catholics need to understand the significance of my argument – reference modernist infrastructure – that the election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) was not valid. 

FrancisChurch Cognizant Of The Fact That It Has Lost With The Truth…

So today your humble blogger will continue a sub-theme that was embedded in yesterday’s post titled The Battle For Western Civilization And The GOOGLAG!

Just to recap yesterday’s post, your humble blogger presented not one, not two, but three independent yet related OCCURRENCES, namely the firing of James Damore by Googlag Google, the suppression of the Diamond and Silk videos by the Google subsidiary YouTube and the banning and removing all content – including the private mailbox of the statistics professor Salil Mehta, an adjunct professor at Columbia and  Georgetown Universities by, you guessed it, Google.

One manner in which the above independent yet related actions of Google can be understood is through our understanding of what is known as the Overton Window. And just to remind you dear readers, the Overton Window is the term assigned to the concept of what constitutes “acceptable speech”. Here is how this term is defined (see here and here):

The Overton Window, also known as the window of discourse, is the range of ideas the public will accept…. The term is derived from its originator, Joseph P. Overton (1960–2003), a former vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy….

Devers refines the definition:

The Overton Window is a concept in political sociology referring to the range of acceptable opinions that can be held by respectable people. “Respectable” of course means that the subject can be integrated with polite society. Respectability is a strong precondition on the ability to have open influence in the mainstream.

So today we drill down into our understanding of what constitutes the range of acceptable ideas the public will accept, i.e. the Overton Window. To be more precise, we will look at how an Overton Window is defined.

In the humble opinion of your even more humble blogger, it would appear that there are currently two competing mechanism for establishing an Overton Window, namely:

the classical manner through the use of fact, evidence, logic and reason

and

the post-modernist manner through the use of narratives.

A great example of just this phenomenon, i.e. the competing mechanisms can be seen in the video that is embedded at the top of this page. In that video, we see Dr. Jordan Peterson reviewing the infamous document written and submitted to his upper management by James Damore, the former Google employee.

On an aside, the document was written on the behest of the Google upper management as part of an exercise to help enhance Google’s internal operations. The problem was that answers that Mr. Damore provided ran afoul of the prevailing post-modernist narrative. But I digress…

In the interview, the following part is relevant for our needs. It starts at the 13:30 minute mark. Here is that bit:

Jordan Peterson: “Well, I suspect… well I’m virtually certain that you have a majority view point. It’s just that the people who hold the alternative perspective, which are the radical social constructionist type, who insist that everything is a consequence of socialization, the’re a little bit more organized politically, but the’re clearly wrong scientifically, they are wrong factually, the’re wrong ethically for that matter, so… so you probably have more support than you think.

And it will be very interesting to see how that turns out.”   

Now speaking of “interesting” situations and turnouts, we venture over to FrancisChurch.

In another independent, yet related OCCURRENCE in a different sub-set of the Visibilium Omnium, et Invisibilium, i.e. the ECCLESIASTICAL in this case, we get news of more problems arising from another one of Francis’ post-modernist social constructions.

Over on two of my favorite Catholic blogs, i.e. Rorate Caeli (see here) and OnePeterFive (see here), posts appeared relating to a recent interview given by our old friend and kissing aficionado Archbishop Victor “Tucho” Fernandez. The subject matter of these posts is his problematic ghostwritten treatise “The Joy of Sex”.

With respect to the Rorate Caeli post, it contains a translation by Andrew Guernsey. The money quote is from the prologue to the translation and reads as follows:

In an article that provides key insights into the mind of Pope Francis, Fernandez compares adultery to self-defense as having “exceptions”. Indeed, Pope Francis has spoken twice of alleged conflicts between the 5th and the 6th Commandments (Ed. note: you can’t make this stuff up!) with respect to justifying the use of condoms. Moreover, Fernandez argues that the magisterial “flip-flops” of the Church at Vatican II on religious freedom and salvation outside the Church set precedent for Pope Francis to contradict his predecessors in Amoris Laetitia.

So hold that thought.

Over on the OnePeterFive blog, we get an in-depth analysis by Steve Skojec of the interview and a dangling question as to why it reads as it reads. Here is the pertinent part:

Is it just me? Or is Fernández carefully stepping away from the danger zone on Francis’ behalf? His interpretations here are full of casuistry and would hardly be considered orthodox, but they appear to me to be moving away from the current position and in the direction of at least appearing to honor the Church’s moral norms. Or perhaps more aptly put, to at least to admit they exist.

I don’t know whether to be encouraged or concerned.

The answer to Mr. Skojec’s question can also most likely be explained by our understanding of the Overton Window and the methods used to establish it’s boundaries.

What appears to be the case is that TeamFrancis, just like the Google upper management, which has been using post-modernist constructionist narratives to define it’s FrancisTheology, just as Google has been using it to set its diversity policy, has run into a problem.

That problem can best be visualized as the post-modernist constructionist Barque of Francis running onto the sandbar of facts, logic and reason, i.e. OBJECTIVE REALITY.

Not to mention Natural Moral Law.

So this humble blogger’s take on the question posed by Mr. Skojec, would be to see the “Tucho” Frenandez interview as an attempt to muddy more the already muddy post-modernist, social constructionist, post Vatican II waters.

The reason behind the need to make the post VII water more muddy is to walk back a proposition that is untenable and falling outside of even the post VII Overton Window.

Specifically, what is most likely the case is that the last remaining vestiges of Catholicism, i.e. the rationalist Scholasticism, among the Catholic bishops has resurfaced to a point where the FrancisReading of “The Joy of Sex” is simply unacceptable.

Even though TeamFrancis is “more organized politically, but the’re clearly wrong scientifically (theologically), they are wrong factually, the’re wrong ethically for that matter, so… so you (dear Catholic) probably have more support (among the Bishops) than you think”.

Therefore, TeamFrancis has decided to double down on the post-VII strategy by trying to “make muddier” the already very muddied VII water to the point where “The Joy of Sex” can become at least tolerated.

And the reason for this above observation can be discerned from the following part of Dr. Peterson’s reply to James Damore (24:45 mark):

Dr. Peterson: You know, the other thing that you might consider is that it’s possible that this thing will turn out extraordinarily positive for you. You know, it’s going to be a rough ride, but to the degree that you are accurate in your observations then… you know, it’s not that easy to… it’s not that easy for the opponents of truth to have a battle with truth. It’s not easy to have a battle with reality. You know, you tend to lose.  

Concluding, the simple answer to why Msgr. Fernandez has come out with this “more muddying” initiative is that TeamFrancis has become cognizant of the fact that it has lost its battle with the Truth.

Or to use another example, “2+2=5” is FALSE ALWAYS, EVERYWHERE and to EVERYONE.

Just like Holy Communion for serial, unrepentant adulterers.

 

TeamFrancis Directs Catholics To Read Francis Through Derrida…

Lot happening folks, and I am getting ready to go on an extended vacation. Extended in my case means more than a long weekend. But I digress… The reason I am mentioning this is that I will be posting sporadically, at least until the 20th of August.

However, before I take off, I have posted some links in the right hand margin that can be viewed during my absence. These links should provide you dear reader, with a daily “fix” of reason, logic and objective reality, if the need arises.

Today’s post therefore, will be my last post before I leave. And I will leave off with what I think is the most important OCCURRENCE to have taken place since the beginning of the Francis bishopric of Rome.

Is this hyperbole?

Maybe.

But you dear reader will have to make up your mind for yourselves.

So here goes…

A few days ago, an article appeared written by our friend “Fr.” Antonio “2+2=5” Spadaro and a co-conspirator, a Presbyterian named Marcelo Figueroa, titled Evangelical Fundamentalism and Catholic Integralism in the USA: A surprising ecumenism. The article can be read here.

Moreover, a most excellent (or as a post-modernist can say: “excellentest”) response came from another favorite of this blog, in a positive sense this time, Maureen Mullarkey, titled In God They Don’t Trust: Anti-American Syllabus in Vatican journal. This article can be read here.

And finally, to understand why the two above mentioned articles constitute an OCCURRENCE being the most important since the start of the Francis bishopric of Rome, two concepts need to be understood.

The first of these concepts is one that your humble blogger explained in the post titled NUChurch Shocked… Shocked That Francis Lies…, namely the Overton Window. Here is that passage:

The Overton Window, also known as the window of discourse, is the range of ideas the public will accept…. The term is derived from its originator, Joseph P. Overton (1960–2003), a former vice president of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy….

Devers refines the definition:

The Overton Window is a concept in political sociology referring to the range of acceptable opinions that can be held by respectable people. “Respectable” of course means that the subject can be integrated with polite society. Respectability is a strong precondition on the ability to have open influence in the mainstream.

The second concept that needs to be understood here is that of the post- Modernist NARRATIVE. In a post titled The Soap Bubble Papacy™ : The Battle Is In Your Mind – Francis’ Gaslighting we explained that:

FAKE NEWS ≠ FALSE NEWS

An example from the POLITICAL sub-set of the Visibilium Omnium can be seen here:

Guess which one the FAKE NEWS MEDIA is focusing on?

Back to the subject at hand.

“Fake news” is in essence any news that contradicts or questions an “official” NARRATIVE. And the reason that real news is lethal to the post-Modernist is that it “corrupts” their FAKE NARRATIVE(S), i.e. it “corrupts” their corrupt information. Here is how the process works:

Just to sum up what we have defined above, what we are dealing with is information that is injected into the public domain that is CORRUPTED (FAKE NEWS / FrancisCoprophagia). The CORRUPTION is intended to create a FAKE NARRATIVE (Gas-lighting). The most likely explanation for why this FAKE NARRATIVE is created is to allow individuals/entities to act on this FAKE NARRATIVE. In other words, this FAKE NARRATIVE allows these individuals to act when they otherwise would not be able to act. I.e. it provides them with justification.

By understanding the above, we can now deconstruct the Spadaro/Figueroa article and the Mullarkey response. So here are some observations:

First, notice the emotional tone of the Spadaro/Figueroa article. The emotions, negative in this case, were no doubt brought about first by their observation that a “great deal” of the discussions in... let’s call it the affairs of the Catholic Church, (specifically in the blogo-sphere) are taking place outside of the FrancisChurch Overton Window.

In other words, the discussion i corrupting their NARRATIVE.

How to we know this?

In the last paragraph, the authors tell us outright that this is the case. Here is that passage:

This is why Francis is carrying forward a systematic counter-narration with respect to the narrative of fear. There is a need to fight against the manipulation of this season of anxiety and insecurity.

What the above tells us, the initiated, is that TeamFrancis think in terms of NARRATIVES and counter-NARRATIVES. Therefore Francis, through his proxies is admitting that he is in fact a post-Modernist. 

This is HISTORIC!

By extension, the significance of the above is that now Francis’ proxies have provided us with confirmation of the PROPER and CORRECT framework through which we can read Francis.

And it’s not Benedict, but rather Derrida.

But I digress…

And as my long time readers know, what defines a post-Modernist is a person who sees the world in terms of fractioned special interest (identity) groups, who in turn produce their foundational NARRATIVES, which then battle it out in a Hobbesian battlefield of identity groups. These identity groups do not dialogue, because the post-Modernists don’t believe in dialogue. Therefore, it is just one big struggle for POWER and the winning identity group, with their winning NARRATIVE, takes it all.

As for the rest of the unlucky identity groups and their NARRATIVES, they are subjugated. Hmmm…. where have I read that before? Why yes, here.

But just in case you dear readers need a refresher, here is Dr. Jordan Peterson to explain the post-Modernist mindset:

Now for the Mullarkey response. What is of critical significance in the Mullarkey response is that she names post-Modernism and by extension the Francis post-Modernists for what they are, and she names them in the third paragraph. Here is that passage:

On exhibit in this chosen opener is the post-modern denial of the existence of objective reality. The past’s own utterances are not steadfast. The truth of them, like that of any text, is unfixed, determined by current ideological needs.

Yes?

What we see therefore is that Mullarkey understands the foundational “philosophy” read ideology upon which the Francis proxies Spadaro/Figueroa constructed their document and criticises that document in its proper CONTEXT.

On a more general note, the significance of this OCCURRENCE is that the Mullarkey response is an example (the first that I have come across) where individual Catholic authors are beginning to use the proper philosophical/ideological “template” through which Francis must be read and understood.

If the above is more than just an isolate incident of a Catholic writer using the post-Modernist “template” to understand and explain the “product” produced by TeamFrancis, and other writers begin to reference the post-Modernist underlying ideology of this pseudo-intellectual gibberish, we will obtain a powerful weapon to counteract this rubbish and re-orient the collective Catholic thought process onto a footing based in OBJECTIVE REALITY.

And this in turn will be lethal not only for TeamFrancis and FrancisCurch in general, but also lethal to the post-concicliar sect that has taken over the Bride of Christ during this “new springtime of the ‘spirit’ of Vatican II”.

Leaving off before my vacation, I will end with another Jordan Peterson video on post-Modernism.

Enjoy!

Today we stay off topic again, and return our attention to the 2016 US Presidential Election. As you dear reader will recall, one glaring anomaly that your humble blogger reported on quite regularly is what we called the FAKE POLLS. (see here and here and here just to mention 3)

What interested us back then was not the FAKE POLLS in and of themselves, but the fact that everybody knew that they were FAKE POLLS. Or at least should have known… Or maybe I should say that any rational individual with a modicum of intelligence and an iota of intellectual honesty should have known that these POLLS were FAKE. And if the above mentioned intellectually honest individual didn’t know before the Podesta emails (see here) came to light, they should have known afterward.

So why am I bringing this to your attention?

Well, we had another occurence of FAKE POLLS appear in the Georgia 6th Congressional District special election that was held this past Tuesday. The re-post from the Zero Hedge website below sets out the fact. (see original here) And it would appear as if these folks have learned nothing, as evidenced below.

The reason that this is important for us as Catholics is due to the proximity of… lets call them the main actors, in the WikiLeaks Podesta emails relating to FAKE POLLS and these same actor’s proximity to the “Catholic Spring” (see here) emails also released by WikiLeaks.

For those who are not familiar with the “Catholic Spring” issue, the background is that Mr. Postesta and his friends created front groups of purported “catholics” in order to create an uprising within the US Catholic Church in order to “re-order” its political priorities. You know, like the Catholic “obsession” with abortion. But I digress… More detail can be found here.

So to tie this information above and below into one tidy package, in January of this year, Pew came out with their survey data pertaining to the popularity of Francis, the bishop of Rome. What is important to note is that in one of the headlines, we can read that: Pope Francis’ popularity extends beyond Catholics. (see here) And there is evidence to support just this (check out the Unaffiliated column):

That is, provided that these polls are not FAKE POLLS.

And this is where the problems begin.

This past Sunday, Francis held the Corpus Domini (Corpus Christi) procession in Rome. He moved the Feast Day from its standard Thursday observance to Sunday in order to  “allow more people to participate in the traditional procession through Rome”.

And needless to say, it did not work as can be seen from the picture above.

What’s worse is that Francis didn’t even show up to the procession. (see here)

PS. The empty space in the middle is where the popes kneel during the procession.

Like here:

And everyone in Rome is talking about it!

But back to the subject at hand, i.e. the “popularity of Francis”. In the Pew Research post that asserted that Francis popularity extends beyond Catholics, which is an objective correct claim, we can read about how popular Francis is.

Yet in a New York Times (yes, that New York Times) piece, written a couple of months earlier, we can read the following: (see here)

But are Catholics actually coming back? In the United States, at least, it hasn’t happened. New survey findings from Georgetown’s Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate suggest that there has been no Francis effect — at least, no positive one. In 2008, 23 percent of American Catholics attended Mass each week. Eight years later, weekly Mass attendance has held steady or marginally declined, at 22 percent.

So what accounts for this “Francis popularity” that Pew Research is picking up, but is not translating into increased church attendance, not to mention the horrible Corpus Domini mass and procession attendance that we have witnessed this past Sunday?

Here is that explanation, once again as opined by the New York Times:

Francis has built his popularity at the expense of the church he leads. Those who wish to see a stronger church may have to wait for a different kind of pope. Instead of trying to soften the church’s teaching, such a man would need to speak of the way hard disciplines can lead to freedom. Confronting a hostile age with the strange claims of Catholic faith may not be popular, but over time it may prove more effective. Even Christ was met with the jeers of the crowd.

Oh my!

And finally, about the FAKE POLLS. There is an old saying about believing nothing that you read and only half of what you see, I think it would be a good piece of advice to use as guidance when reading about how popular Francis is.

When reading something like this here.

Besides, the missing crowds give the game away.

Democrats, Stop With The Poll Rigging…It’s Getting Embarrassing

 by Tyler Durden

Last fall, in the months/weeks leading up to the presidential election, we spent a fair amount time talking about how Democratic pollsters were setting themselves up for a massive embarrassment on election day with their obviously rigged polling data that consistently suggested Hillary had a commanding lead.  In fact, just weeks before the election, the Washington Post published a poll showing that Hillary was well on her way to a ‘blowout’ 12-point victory (we wrote about it here:  This Is How WaPo’s Latest Poll Gave Hillary A 12 Point Advantage Over Trump).  Needless to say, that never happened and those pollsters suffered the humiliating consequences of their biased ‘math.’

Unfortunately, as last night’s special election in Georgia makes all too clear, no one on the left seems to have learned any lessons from their presidential poll rigging debacle last November.

In fact, one prominent pollster even declared just 6 days before the election that if Ossoff failed to win it would mean that “MATH IS DEAD AND DATA IS BROKEN.”

Of course, the problem isn’t that “math is dead” or “data is broken”…the problem is that rather than using data to arrive at a solution pollsters have resorted to starting out with a solution and then solving for the data.

Which is exactly what appears to have happened in Georgia.  As the following chart points out, with just 9 days left until election day, pollsters were predicting a fairly easy win for Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff in Georgia’s 6th district runoff…shocking, we know.  But, just over a week later, the Republican candidate ended up easily walking away with the win, and served up another embarrassment for pollsters in the process as actual results swung 8.6 points from predictions peddled to the public just a week earlier.

So how does this keep happening?  Well, it’s not that surprising in light of the fact that Democrats literally wrote a playbook on how to rig polling data through “oversamples.”  As we noted last October in a post entitled “New Podesta Email Exposes Playbook For Rigging Polls Through ‘Oversamples’“, it all apparently has a lot to do with “oversampling” various minority groups.

The email even includes a handy, 37-page guide with the following poll-rigging recommendations.  In Arizona, over sampling of Hispanics and Native Americans is highly recommended:

Research, microtargeting & polling projects
–  Over-sample Hispanics
–  Use Spanish language interviewing. (Monolingual Spanish-speaking voters are among the lowest turnout Democratic targets)
–  Over-sample the Native American population

For Florida, the report recommends “consistently monitoring” samples to makes sure they’re “not too old” and “has enough African American and Hispanic voters.”  Meanwhile, “independent” voters in Tampa and Orlando are apparently more dem friendly so the report suggests filling up independent quotas in those cities first.

–  Consistently monitor the sample to ensure it is not too old, and that it has enough African American and Hispanic voters to reflect the state.
–  On Independents: Tampa and Orlando are better persuasion targets than north or south Florida (check your polls before concluding this). If there are budget questions or oversamples, make sure that Tampa and Orlando are included first.

Of course, the intent of publishing these ridiculous polls is presumably to ‘chill’ the Republican vote…afterall, why go through the hassle of long lines at a polling station if your candidate has no shot at winning?

That said, the strategy only worked BEFORE the media and pollsters lost all credibility…so, why bother keeping up the charade?  As we mentioned above, it’s just getting embarrassing at this point.

Normalization Narratives And The Dubia Cardinals Poisoning The FrancisWell…

Today we go off theme, or rather go off the theme that your humble blogger was developing over the last few posts. Those posts dealt with an interdisciplinary attempt to form an understanding of where the post-conciliar church went wrong and to define a “cure” that would allow it to return to its mission, as defined by its Found namely: the salvation of souls.

So today, we will do a post on an aspect of a recent and presently developing story, which isn’t getting the attention that it deserves. The recent development is the letter sent by the Four Dubia Cardinals, requesting an encounter audience with the bishop or Rome, Francis.

The reason that this said aspect of the story isn’t getting the attention it deserves is that most of the Catholic blogo-sphere doesn’t quite grasp the post-Modernist mindset of the prevailing culture, especially the post-Modernist culture that is presently prevailing behind the Sacred Vatican Walls.

Just to refresh that which in fact constitutes the post-Modernist mindset. As we know, post-Modernists don’t believe in Truth. Everything is relative and all existing structures, whether they are physical (government, institutions, etc.) or immaterial (science, literature, language, etc.) can only be judged through the power dynamic.

Furthermore, there is no such thing as individuality, since all individuals belong to “identity groups” and it is these identity group that fight among each other to obtain power, for those specific groups and their group interests.

The manner in which these identity groups fight in this Hobbesian battlefield is through the use of NARRATIVES. Presently, that is… So what we have in fact are just individual NARRATIVES that are developed by special interest groups that are fighting other NARRATIVES developed by other special interest groups, in a social Darwinian death struggle for dominance.

Here is a more graphic representation of the above information.

Now for the Four Cardinal’s Audience Request (FCAR).

Into this above framework, we get a new piece of information, i.e. the Four Cardinal Audience Request (FCAR). So how do we properly interpret this FCAR in our post-Modernists post-conciliar church “intellectual” framework?

The starting point is that this FCAR appears to collide with the Francis dialogue NARRATIVE. Remember, it’s all about “dialogue”, yet we know, from the Peterson lectures that post-Modernists don’t believe in dialogue.

Moreover, the neo-Modernists don’t believe in the objective meaning of words and their common usage. Words, like everything else, are only social constructs. (Here we need to point out one exception, intrinsically disordered behavior, which is always biological… naturally.)  Words represent “power structures” that need to be overcome.

So the “sin” that the FCAR document commits is that it causes a negative emotional reaction against the dialogue NARRATIVE, i.e. the implication that “Francis doesn’t want to dialogue”. Therefore, this situation is bad not from the absence of an objective good, i.e. no dialogue, but rather from the point of view of the visual,… the optics of Francis evading dialogue. The situation created by the FCAR produces an emotionally detrimental situation since it makes Francis look like a hypocrite.

Yes?

Next, and the far larger problem that the FCAR represents is found in the following text:

We do not share in the slightest the position of those who consider the See of Peter vacant, nor of those who want to attribute to others the indivisible responsibility of the Petrine munus.

In light of the above defined post-Modernist framework, this is the most egregious form of material “heresy” that can exist in a post-Modernist pseudo-religious sect. The issue is as follows: not only does “naming” a counter NARRATIVE bring it to life, naming it also “platforms” it.

Now for those uninitiated or those who are not up to speed on what the concept “platforming” entails, I will refer you to a Harvard Business School publication that explains the concept below: (see here)

We typically think of companies competing over products — the proverbial “build a better mousetrap.” But in today’s networked age, competition is increasingly over platforms. Build a better platform, and you will have a decided advantage over the competition.

So to put our FCAR in this “platforming” CONTEXT, we see that by identifying the “product(s)”, i.e. counter-NARRATIVES, as

the “position of those who consider the See of Peter vacant”

and

“those who want to attribute to others the indivisible responsibility of the Petrine munus.”

… and further by referring to these two “counter-NARRATIVES” by name in the FCAR, the Cardinals not only allowed these two “products” to arise, but far worse, allowed these two counter-Narratives to be “platformed” on a Catholic Church Cardinal’s platform.

Furthermore, by not criticizing these TWO new counter-NARRATIVES in the FCAR, what the Cardinals have done, in this framework of course, is to grant these counter-NARRATIVES legitimacy. In other words, the Cardinals are treating these TWO counter-NARRATIVES as legitimate positions, while only implying that their position is the more preferable one for the bishopr of Rome.

But even if they had criticized the named TWO counter-NARRATIVES in that document, the Cardinals would still be engaged in something that is now in the post-Modernist framework known as “normalization”.

And naturally, there are such things as “normalization NARRATIVES”.

Aside, please see the link here for an example from the POLITICAL sub-set of the Visibilium Omnium, et Invisibilium.

So concluding, the most interesting aspect of the Four Cardinal Audience Request, from a post-Modernist point of view, is twofold: the appearance of not one, but TWO counter-Narratives being “platformed” by the Cardinals and the “normalization” of the TWO counter-Narratives.

Just to stress how important the “normalization” issue currently is, here is a link to the critique of the Alex Jones interview done by Megyn Kelly which appear last Sunday on her new show on NBC. This comes by way of the National Review post titled: Megyn Kelly’s Gift to Alex Jones. Here is the pertinent text:

A broader indictment is that she’s mainstreaming or normalizing Jones.

And then the author goes on to relate the following:

This is a huge gift to Jones. Even if Kelly does everything possible to avoid the appearance of “normalizing Jones,” he comes out of this a winner because his fans will love it and be re-affirmed in their belief that he’s important. And at least some people who haven’t heard of him will think this joker is more significant than he is.

On an aside, what’s funny about the author of this post is that he can’t even be bothered to research who is normalizing whom, in that Jones has a much larger audience that Megyn Kelly. Kelly got 3.5million viewers for her Jones Interview show, while Jones got approximately 22 million for the parallel transmission while the NBC show was running and corollary videos.

On another aside, whatever happened to the National Review? Excuse the digression…

Which brings me to the final point, and an answer to the question posed by the Call Me Jorge Blog, namely:

What was Francis reaction when he read this letter?

Here is my guess…

The NORMALIZATION PROCESS™ – French Election Debrief…

As most of my dear and loyal reader know by now, the empty suit that wears the name Emmanuel Macron has won the French presidential election. This will not come as a shock to my loyal readers since it was predicted by yours truly.

The primary reason for why your humble blogger did not predict a win for Marine Le Pen was due to the economic “specifics” of France. The primary motivating factor that Marine Le Pen had going against her was her overt antipathy toward the European Union. Actually, not the European Union per se, but rather the funding mechanism that divides the spoils of the main contributing nations, i.e. Germany and Great Britain. Spoils of which the French are major beneficiaries. Yes, it’s that “backward” French agricultural sector that needs to be subsidized in perpetuity. But I digress…

On an aside, Great Britain is negotiating their Brexit presently and once they are out, the EU will lose a net €10billion from the collective kitty. But I digress again…

So the dynamic that was at play in France was one similar to that which Ronald Reagan observed when he noticed that a recession is when your neighbor loses his job while a depression is when you lose your job. In that light, the French dynamic at play could be characterized as “recessions are acceptable”.

And that was a common thread in the comments that I have read, i.e. that no one was under the illusion that it would get better with Macron, as long as it did not get any worse. And Marine Le Pen did not read this mood too well and did not provide the electorate an alternative “election philosophy” of hope, one for which the French would want to make sacrifices. Anyways, I will have more to say on just this in the future.

So given the rationale above, this is how your humble blogger saw the French Presidential election of 2017 and wrote it down in three post under the following titles:

French Election – The Black Swan Event… (w/Update)

The NORMALIZATION PROCESS™ – Can She Do It?

Vive La France… (w Updates)

So today, I will do a debrief of how the second round voting transpired and a brief commentary about what can be expected to transpire in the country that used to be commonly referred to as the Church’s eldest daughter.

As to what you dear reader and the French citizenry can expect in the months ahead can be described as turbulence. The main cause for this turbulence is that the new French President does not have a political party in the current French parliament. Actually, President Macron is an empty suit that was created by the outgoing president François Hollande and Macron’s base was the socialist party headed by Hollande.

In order to fool the gullible voters, a “new” movement was created, a movement called the En Marche. The problem with this shell movement now, is that it has to transform itself into a political party. The problem becomes that if the En Marche becomes a political party, it will cannibalize the existing socialist party. And I don’t think that the socialists will allow that to happen.

What makes this situation even more comical is that the next parliamentary elections are in June of this year. Yes folks, a month from now. So what will have to happen in this month’s time is that the outgoing president Hollande will have to pull a sleight of hand and explain to the French that the shell movement En Marche is really the socialist party in disguise.

An alternative scenario is that Hollande will allow Macron to actually transform the shell movement into a political party. What this will do is break up the electorate even further and could allow for the “right” wing political forces to win the June election. And if that happens, then France goes into what is known as cohabitation where a leftist president rules with a right wing parliament and NOTHING HAPPENS for the next 4 years.

On the other hand, there are some that think a lot will happen… (see here).

And on the back of all the above, a Macron insider released 9 gigabytes of inside information that completely compromise the newly elected president. (see here, here and  here)

I will stop here, but will have more to say in future posts.

Below I will reproduce a post from the blog GalliaWatch. It does a good job of explaining OBJECTIVE REALITY in France. I will reproduce the post below, while the original can be linked to here.

No surprises. A long road ahead.

The final tally was Macron 65.5%, Marine Le Pen 34.5%. She doubled her father’s 2002 score. The abstention rate was 25%, higher than the first round. The legitimacy of the new president is already seriously compromised and could make a Macron sweep in the legislative elections difficult.

Estimate: 21 million votes for Macron. 11.4 million votes for Le Pen. 4 million blank/invalid votes.

Note: A blank vote is a clean ballot inside an envelope with no choice indicated; an invalid vote is a damaged ballot. These votes are not counted into the final tally. Why would someone turn in a blank ballot? Possibly because neither candidate is acceptable but the person wants to vote; possibly out of contempt; possibly to be a nuisance.

Emmanuel Macron remains below the 50% mark.

According to Marine Le Pen, those who supported Emmanuel Macron have been discredited. Henceforth, the Front National constitutes the only opposition force to the new president and she intends to lead the battle for the legislative elections in June. It is a choice between patriots and globalists that will be submitted to the French people, voting district by voting district. She has announced the transformation of the Front National into a new political force. They are speaking of a “Patriotic and Republican Alliance.”

Nicolas Dupont-Aignan will continue his alliance with Marine Le Pen but will not be part of the new movement. He will present candidates in every voting district for the legislative elections.

François Baroin of Les Républicains announced he will oppose the new president whom he supported…

Note: Baroin had hoped to be François Fillon’s prime minister. Baroin had been minister of Finance under Sarkozy. He voted for Macron, and has indicated he would like to be the opposition Prime minister in the event of victory of the right and center in the legislative elections. He is obviously very supple.

According to Laurent Wauquiez, president of the region Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and vice-president of Les Républicains:

“Emmanuel Macron is a president elected without enthusiasm. For the right, this is not the time to compromise.”

Note: I believe Wauquiez voted for Macron. He certainly did not vote for Marine. So he has not only compromised, he has collaborated.

According to estimates, 48% of François Fillon’s voters voted for Macron. 32% abstained or turned in blank or invalid ballots, and 20% voted for Le Pen.

Note: Fillon’s betrayal of Marine Le Pen and his support for Macron, and Marine’s poor performance in the debate, remain the two outstanding calamities of the election (besides the presence of Macron himself).

LSB readers comments:

– I hope Marine understands that 2017 was for her the equivalent of 2002 for her father and that she will never obtain a large vote. Her nullity was displayed in the debate; her aggressiveness and her hysteria caused her to go from 40/41% to 35% in four days. She should leave the presidency of the FN.

– “You wanted to avoid war at the cost of dishonor. You will have dishonor and you will have war.”

– We await with great interest the invalidation of this election. That would be the case in a democracy.

Note: Both Macron and Hollande obtained less than 50% of the votes of registered voters.

– Anti-Macron demonstrations in all the big cities tonight; vandalism and violence go on, the taxpayers pay!

– When will the Conference of Bishops of France become the Great Lodge of Bishops of France? They can go to Soros for their donations.

– I was struck by Macron’s victory speech. The poor fellow was pale, without composure, almost inaudible. He repeated clichés that expressed his love for France. Pathetic, and troubling. Marine is better when she is calm. Her strategy for the next five years is rather convincing.

– Congrats to all the cowards who chose Macron.

– Marine Le Pen should leave the FN and Asselineau should replace her. Just in debating alone, he would have flattened Macron! He would not have mixed things up as Marine did with the euro. Marine does not have the intelligence of a president.

Note: François Asselineau, a highly effective speaker, and right-wing politician, received few votes in the first round.

– At the end of the debate between Hollande junior and Marine Le Pen, I found that Marine had dominated the debate… After two days of media commentary I almost began to have doubts.
