There’s an old Polish saying that if you don’t know what it’s about, it’s about the money!

There is no other reason…

FOR THE RECORD

Reprinted from Life Site News via the Vox Cantoris blog (see here)

On an aside, “money” explains everything that Francis has ever done since the beginning of his bishopric of Rome.

Bergoglio and Parolin Despise the “Genuine Faith” of Those Who Defend the Church!

2h ago

From the blog of Cardinal Zen translated by LifeSiteNews:

I still can’t understand understand what they are dialoguing with China over

by Cardinal Joseph Zen

Response to “Why we are in dialogue with China,” the interview His Eminence Cardinal Parolin granted to Gianni Valente (that is, the interview they cooked up together).

I have read the interview several times, and now I am reading it again (even though doing so disgusts me).

I am grateful to His Eminence for having acknowledged that “it is legitimate to have differing opinions.”

(1)

First of all, one notes the insistence with which His Eminence says that his point of view and the purpose of his activities are pastoral, spiritual, evangelical and faith-based nature, while our thinking and acting are only politically driven.

What we see instead is that he adores the Ostpolitik diplomacy of his teacher, [Agostino] Casaroli, and despises the genuine faith of those who firmly defend the Church, founded by Jesus on the Apostles, from any interference of secular power.

I cannot forget my astonishment in reading one of his addresses a few years ago in the Osservatore Romano, where he described the heroes of the faith in Central-European countries under the communist regime (Cardinal Wyszynsky, Cardinal Mindszenty and Cardinal Beran, though without naming them) ) as “gladiators,” and “people systematically opposed to the government and eager to appear on the political stage.”

(2)

One also notes the repeated mention of his compassion for the suffering of our brothers in China. Crocodile tears! What suffering is he talking about? He knows very well that they are not afraid of poverty, nor the limitation or deprivation of liberty, nor even the loss of life. But he doesn’t respect this at all (they are “gladiators”!)

He also speaks of wounds that are still open, and his intention to heal them with “the balm of mercy.” But what wounds is he talking about?

Towards the end of the interview, at a certain point he says: “With frankness, … I will say: I am also convinced that some of the suffering experienced by the Church in China is due not so much to the will of individuals, as it is to the objective complexity of the situation.”

Therefore, he knows very well that, in the Church in China, it’s not (or rarely) a matter of personal offenses or resentments, but that they are all victims of persecution by an atheistic totalitarian power. Use the balm of mercy? But there are no personal offenses to forgive. It is a slavery from which they need to be liberated.

Mercy for the persecutors? For their accomplices? Reward traitors? Castigate the faithful? Force a legitimate bishop to surrender his post to an excommunicated one? Is this not rather rubbing salt in the wounds.

Let’s go back to the “objective situation.” The painful state wasn’t created by us, but by the regime. The communists want to enslave the Church. There are those who refuse this slavery, there are those who submit to it. Unfortunately, there are also those who embrace it.

Faced with this reality how is it possible not to speak of “power, resistance, clash, compromise, failure, surrender, and betrayal”?

Parolin wants us to talk about communion and collaboration. But are there conditions? Where do we unite? How do we collaborate? Let us analyze two fundamental matters that need to be clarified.

(3)

What is the nature of the unity we want to achieve?

  1. a) His Eminence praises Chinese Catholics and says that “there are not two Catholic Churches in China.” If I am not mistaken, I was the first one to say this at a meeting of the Synod of Bishops, given that, in both communities, the faithful are loyal to the Pope in their hearts (today with the increase of opportunists in the community run by the Government I no longer dare to apply the statement to the whole Church in China).

But Parolin cannot deny that, for the moment, there are two communities with two structures based on two different, opposing principles. One structure is founded on the principle of the Primacy of Peter, on which Jesus established his Church, while the other structure is imposed by an atheistic government intent on creating a schismatic Church that is subject to its power.

  1. b) Eliminating this division and reestablishing unity must be the desire of every Catholic, but not with a clean slate, let alone by manipulating the Pope Benedict’s Letter [to Chinese Catholics].

In the Pope Emeritus’s letter there is this paragraph (8.10): “Some [bishops], not wishing to be subjected to undue control exercised over the life of the Church, and eager to maintain total fidelity to the Successor of Peter and to Catholic doctrine, have felt themselves constrained to opt for clandestine consecration. The clandestine condition is not a normal feature of the Church’s life, and history shows that Pastors and faithful have recourse to it only amid suffering, in the desire to maintain the integrity of their faith and to resist interference from State agencies in matters pertaining intimately to the Church’s life.” Father Jeroom Heyndricks, quoting out of context the phrase “the clandestine condition is not a normal feature of the Church’s life,” took as his mission to spread the word throughout China (where he enjoyed great freedom of movement): “There is no longer any need for clandestine communities. Everyone must come out into the open, i.e. become part of the community subject to the Government.

In the Commission for the Church in China we noted this great error, but both the Secretariat of State and the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples have ignored this warning, obviously supporting the idea of ​​Father Heyndricks.

Only after two years, when this error had already done immense damage, did we manage insert into the “Compendium” booklet several notes that aim to distinguish a reconciliation of hearts from unity in the structures.

  1. c) Parolin says that one should not “maintain a perennial conflict between opposing principles and structures.” But obviously this does not depend on us alone, because one of the two structures is under the power of the Government, which certainly already controls it and gives no sign of giving it up.

Pope Benedict says that the journey toward unity “is not easy and cannot be accomplished overnight” (6.5, 6.6).

But our diplomats want to perform a miracle immediately and accuse others of “clinging to the spirit of opposition in order to condemn their brother,” of “using the past as a pretext to forge new resentments and closures,” and of “not being ready to forgive, which means that there are other interests to defend.”

How cruel are these reproaches addressed to faithful members of the Church, who for many long years have suffered every kind of deprivation and oppression for their fidelity to the true Church!

When the other party has no intention of respecting the essential nature of the Catholic Church and, on our side, they want to achieve unification at all costs, there is only one possible choice, that of forcing everyone to enter the “cage.”

  1. d) With the solution of the “enlarged cage” will we walk together? Will it be a new path? With serenity? With confidence?

They say it will be a gradual process, but suppose the planners already have in mind what the next step after the legitimizing of the illegitimate will be.

What will become of the legitimate Bishops according to the law of the Church but not recognized by the Government? Will they be “accepted”? That is, also admitted to the cage? Will there finally be “one” legitimate episcopal conference? (With the Government holding the key to the cage?)

Parolin and company recognize that this solution is not perfect, it is a lesser evil. Once can endure and suffer an evil (harm), but you can never do wrong (sin), however great or small it might be.

Suffering as others create a schismatic Church may be inevitable, but we cannot help in its creation.

Furthermore, there is no reason to fear a schismatic church created by the party. It will fade with the collapse of the regime. But a schismatic church with the Pope’s blessing will be horrible!

(4)

Having clarified the nature of the unity to be reached, it is easy to consider the following problem: How do we achieve this unity?

Through reconciliation (ad intra) and dialogue (with the Government).

  1. a) Reconciliation is not without difficulty but it is possible, because it depends only on our goodwill. Dialogue with the Government is more difficult.
  1. b) Pope Francis had said in Seoul: “The first condition of a dialogue is consistency with one’s own identity.”

It is a matter of honesty, of justice. We need to know and make known where we want to arrive, that is, according to our conscience what a good outcome of the dialogue will be. In our case, it is obviously: “a true religious freedom which not only does not harm but fosters the true good of the nation.”

Will we succeed in this dialogue? Is there a hope of success? Is there even a minimum foundation in the present situation, when the Chinese Communist Party is more powerful and dominating than ever? When both his actions and pronouncements are directed toward a more rigorous control over every religion, but in a special way of the so-called “foreign” religions.

The Communists no longer even feel the need to keep up appearances. Photographs show that it is the State that manages the Catholic Church in China, which is no longer Catholic but Chinese, schismatic. (It is a government official who presides over the [always] joint meeting of the Patriotic Association and the so-called “episcopal conference”). The Popes refrain from using the word “schism” out of compassion for those who find themselves there not of their own volition but under severe pressure.

From what we see, the Holy See is accepting this unacceptable reality. (Is it sure it is doing good to the Church?)

For dialogue to be true, it must start with a position of equality. There is no real dialogue between the jailer and the prisoners, between the victor and the vanquished. But our side seems to begin from a position of weakness. Reliable sources say that the Vatican Delegation could not discuss the case of Bishop Giacomo Su Zhi Min, who has been in the hands of the government for more than twenty years, because they refused to discuss it. It seems to me that our side should have left the negotiating table and come home. Accepting their refusal is like kneeling from the start.

After all, we are not the vanquished. Do our diplomats not know that the faithful of the clandestine community constituted, and perhaps still constitute, the majority? That in various places they have churches and cathedrals? That in the city, where obviously they cannot have churches, they have Masses said in private houses and are undisturbed by the public security authorities who are also aware of everything. Unfortunately, as of February 2018, we can expect a much stricter control by the Government on the activities of our brothers and sisters, also because the Government knows that it now has the Holy See’s consent.

(c) While supporting the need for external dialogue with the government, the Vatican has stifled dialogue within the Church. With a supremely ill-mannered gesture, and without a word, it liquidated the Pontifical Commission for the Church in China established Pope Benedict. They got rid of the only competent Chinese voice in the Vatican, Archbishop Savio, by sending him as nuncio to Greece. “Finding syntheses of truth” indeed!“Discovering God’s plan together” indeed! They are sure they “have considered everything adequately.”

(5)

The most repugnant thing I find in the whole interview is the dishonest exploitation of phrases in the Letter of Pope Benedict, making it appear that he was a faithful supporter of the Pope Emeritus, whereas in reality he and the then Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of the Peoples thwarted all of Pope Ratzinger’s efforts to bring the Church in China back to the right path.

At the beginning and end of the interview he cites two quotations, respectively.

  1. a) In Chapter 4, paragraph 7 Pope Benedict says: “The solution to existing problems cannot be pursued via an ongoing conflict with the legitimate civil authorities; at the same time, though, compliance with those authorities is not acceptable when they interfere unduly in matters regarding the faith and discipline of the Church.”
  1. b) In Paragraph 6, he had said: (Citing Deus caritas est) “The Church cannot and must not take upon herself the political battle to bring about the most just society possible. She cannot and must not replace the State. Yet at the same time she cannot and must not remain on the sidelines in the fight for justice.”

In both quotes, Parolin took advantage of the first half, leaving out the other half, thus losing the balance of Pope Benedict’s thought.

(6)

Given the recent controversies, I cannot fail to clarify my relationship with Pope Francis who, whenever I meet him, fills me with tenderness.

It is true that my revelations of private conversations may have caused him embarrassment. I am sorry for this. But I am still convinced that there is a divide between His Holiness’ way of thinking and the way of thinking of his collaborators, who have a field day taking advantage of the Pope’s optimism to pursue their goals. Until proven otherwise, I am convinced that I have defended the good name of the Pope from responsibility for the erroneous things coming from his collaborators, and of having communicated his encouragement to my brothers and sisters in China who are, as we say in China, “in the burning fire and in deep waters.”

If one day it should happen that a bad agreement is signed with China, obviously with the approval of the Pope, I will withdraw in silence to a “monastic life.” Certainly as a son, even though unworthy, of Don Bosco, I will not make myself the head of a rebellion against the Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ on earth.

Let us pray for Pope Francis “that the Lord may preserve him, give him strength, make him happy, and save him from the hands of his enemies.”

Masculinity On Display In Run Up To Next Conclave…

Quick post today. Just seen the latest post from Dr. Joseph Shaw at his LMS Chairman blog. The title of this post is The Psychology of Traditionalism. This post is the third in a series of post whose subject fits in very nicely with our COMPETENCE theme. The first two are titled: The Psychology of Military Incompetence and The psychology of Ecclesiastical Incompetence., AND ARE MUST READS. So please venture over and read these posts.

On the Deus ex Machina blog, we have been looking at COMPETENCE from the post-Modernist’s position. We have OBSERVED that in essence, post-Modernism can be described perfectly as a WAR ON COMPETENCE. Dr. Peterson does an excellent job of explaining just this above.

Furthermore, we introduced the concept of the OVERTON WINDOW. This is the “social construct” through which the post-Modernists eliminate rational, evidence based discourse, dare I say DIALOGUE. By placing certain issues and subjects outside of what “polite society” would consider proper, the post-Modernists have eliminated the need to address the ECCLESIASTICAL INCOMPETENCE issue for over 50 years.

On the 1Peter5 website, we get a post illustrating just this. The post is about a dying French missionary order and one that serves as a perfect example of the above. (MUST READ HERE) What is striking is the complete detachment from reality of this priest in the post. The following sentence sums this up presciently:

Within a five-minute span, he mentioned that, unfortunately, there were almost no Frenchmen left in his order, and also how happy he was to have enjoyed the “renewal” of his order that followed after the Council.

Diabolical disorientation masked as ECCLESIASTICAL INCOMPETENCE of the highest order!

So back to the issue of COMPETENCE. What I have been pointing out on this blog is that by not discussing the issue of COMPETENCE of the leadership of the  post-conciliar hierarchy, any attempt at reform or even triage the open bleeding sore that is FrancisChurch will not bear any fruit.

So that’s the bad news.

However, it appears as if something is finally changing. What appears to be changing is that the word COMPETENCE is beginning to appear inside the OVERTON WINDOW. The LMS Chairman posts are a good example. In these posts, the Dr. Shaw has tried to illustrate a very compelling parallel between organizational competence in the military and in the Church. These two institutions share a high degree of common characteristics and traits, as do the individuals who gravitate toward and populate  these institutions. So a study of just this aspect of the post-conciliar church with what we know about military organizations is long overdue.

And now for the better news. The word COMPETENCE has now popped up in another sector of the post-conciliar church. And at the highest levels. None other than the former Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and papabile Cardinal Gerhard Muller has raised this issue to the foreground.

In an interview, excerpts of which were re-posted here, we can read the following:

But, I believe, as Melchior Cano, the 16th century theologian said, that the true friends are not those who flatter the Pope, but those who help him with the truth and with theological and human competence. In all the organizations of the world, deceivers of this type serve only themselves.”

In this passage, we clearly see a reference to COMPETENCE. In this passage, Card. Muller is implying that he is COMPETENT and that the eventual FrancisCandidate, and Francis himself are NOT COMPETENT.

To understand why this is so, i.e. the proper CONTEXT of this citation, one needs to recall the “Theological Structurer” episode after the Secret Sex Synod of 2014  which we had written up in our post titled: Theological Structuring? Francis Don’t Need No Stinking Theological Structuring!

In that post, we observed a curious situation where Cardinal Muller questioned Francis’ theological COMPETENCE and even created for himself a new, dare I say novel function, namely that of “Theological Structurer“. The “Theological Structurer” function was so expansive, that it was observed that:

In one of the numerous interviews he has given over the past few weeks focusing on the next Synod, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, spoke about a new task for his dicastery. It is a task that is never been mentioned in the documents outlining the precise competencies of the former Holy Office.

But the problem arose that:

The Pope has everything it takes to enounce the faith of the Church. The Congregation De doctrina fidei helps the Pope in the preparation and implementation phases but the “crux” consists in enouncing the faith of the Church and this is the Pope’s very own and personal ministry. By “structuring”, Cardinal Müller may have meant this, above all preparatory, work.

As we can see from the above, there appears to be a COMPETENCE issue that was at the crux of the problems in those heady days before the “Joy of Sex” FrancisDocument.

So from the above, we can also notice that the COMPETENCE theme is something that Cardinal Muller has been promulgating inside the Sacred Vatican Walls for quite some time now. No doubt he has noticed that this is the soft underbelly of the Francis bishopric of Rome, the FrancisPsychopaths and of Francis himself.

Concluding, what is major importance to understand is that the issue of COMPETENCE is now being discussed outright in Vatican circles.

It will be discussed even more in the lead-up to the next conclave.  The reason for this is that the major competitor of Card. Muller at the next conclave will be one Cardinal Pietro Parolin. Card. Parolin in turn, is positioning himself as the DavosPope as we have outlined in a previous post. The Davos appearance no doubt, was to SIGNAL to the Cardinal Electors that Card. Parolin, if he will be made the DavosPope, can bring in the “dosh”. In other words, that he is also COMPETENT.

So all in all, we are witnessing battle-lines being drawn at present by the new entrant, Cardinal Muller. What’s significant is that they are being drawn along reasonable, dare I say RATIONAL and above all, MASCULINE considerations as to the human personality traits and attributes.

The PERSONALITY TRAIT that is being highlighted, i.e. COMPETENCE is a derivative of the primary male characteristic of CONSCIENTIOUSNESS.  Here is where CONSCIENTIOUSNESS fits into the big five personality traits:

So to see that the two front-runners for the Throne of Peter are staking out their campaigns on the issue of COMPETENCE, must be seen as the best SIGNAL coming out of the Cardinal Muller interview. And this by far is the best news that the Catholic Church has had in quite a long time.

Think about it folks, the two front runners to replace Francis are exhibiting signs of MASCULINITY.

Quick post today.

When I first launched this blog, I defined its mission as chronicling the Restoration of all things in Christ. Little did I know that the Restoration would be a much wider phenomenon than just that which I noticed taking shape in that part of the Visibilium Omnium, et Invisibilium (VOeI) that is its’ ECCLESIASTICAL sub-set.

When writing on my blog, I also set out to add a “quantitative” aspect to the information that I would be presenting. I set up various “news feeds” that I would filter for KEY WORDS that would, I hoped provide a “more full” picture of what in fact was taking place.

What I never imagined was that my filters would be picking up DATA POINTS that lay outside the ECCLESIASTICAL sub-set of the VOeI, and in significant numbers. Two sub-sets of DATA POINTS that kept appearing in close proximity were those from what I labeled secular “leftist initiatives” and ecclesiastical “leftist initiatives”. In this category,  what appeared to be the case was that leftist initiative instituted by the new Francis administration and those instituted by Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), especially those that work under the auspices of the United Nations “overlapped” to a significant degree.

One specific area where these overlapping “leftist initiatives” appeared was in the area of economics. I thought this was strange and did not assign to these DATA POINTS any great deal of significance. The reason being is that I could not connect the dots since I could not trace the lineage.

That is up until now.

Enter Elizabeth Yore and the video above. Actually, one name mentioned in the video above connected most of the DATA POINTS. And that name is Joseph Stiglitz. For my long time readers, you will remember that name. Likewise, you will not be surprised that your humble blogger is revisiting this below subject matter and this “personality”.

Specifically, the subject matter is Greece.

To be more specific, what Mrs. Yore did in the above video is to connect the dots (DATA POINTS). Those dots were connected through Joseph Stiglitz, who turns out to be a long standing member of the Pontifical Science Academy (headed by the Argentinian FrancisBishop Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo – of Tea Party fame), an advisor to the former Argentinian government (Bergoglio backed Fernandez regime), and a George Soros surrogate.

Who would have thunk?

And it turns out that it was during the reign of JPII “the great” that he was appointed!

Excuse the digression…

The reason that I mention this matter now is just to remind my dear readers that I have featured the good Dr. in a number of videos. The reason that I mentioned Stiglitz then was to warn my readers as to this buffoon and his “track record”.

If you dear readers recall, in 2010, Stiglitz appeared, along with Hugh Hendry on the BBC. Here is how that conversation went… (And HERE is the conversation Mr. Hendry had with another Soros surrogate and FrancisEconomist, one Jeffry Sachs.)

As you recall, at that time, the first Greek crisis was raging. Stiglitz, who was an official advisor to the Greek government was explaining about what Europe and Greece needed to do in order to exit the Greek crisis. His gibberish was called out by Hugh Hendry. And the rest is as they say… HISTORY.

Note bene: At that time, Hugh Hendry mentioned that Greek long term interest rates (10 year government bonds) were at 7%. Today, Greece long term interest rates are… wait for it… 7%. The level of these rates was unsustainable then, so one can just imagine how much “unsustainable-er” this rate is 7 years later!

So anyways, how does the situation in Greece look like after all these years of being advised by “Dr.” Stiglitz, the long standing member of the Pontifical Academy of Science, and… fill in the blank…??????

For the current state of the Greek economy and society in general, after all this “highly expensive advise” provided to the various Greek governments by the Pontifical Academy of Science’s Joseph Stiglitz, I turn you over to the Zero Hedge website (see here and here).

And before I end, I would just like to remind all my loyal readers about the LEX ARMATICUS and its founding principle, namely that:

Those individuals and institutions that comply to the et Invisibilium, will remain a part of the Visibisium Omnium. Those that do not, will be consigned to the trash heap of history.

Where the following definitions hold:

Visibisium Omnium – all the material “things” that we can identify with our senses (touch, sight, feel, smell, taste)

et Invisibilium – all the non-material laws and processes that regulate the visibilium omnium (e.g. the laws of physics – classical mechanics and quantum mechanics, laws of mathematics, rules of logic, etc.)

As to the effectiveness and the OBJECTIVE results of  the Pontifical Academy of Science long standing member’s Stiglitz’s advise, I will leave you dear reader to decide for yourself…

“The Powers-That-Be Have Looted Everything” – Greek Farmers Fight Riot Police With Shepherd Crooks

The economic and social disintegration of Greece used to be big news.

However it’s largely been overshadowed by the migrant crisis, and the American media hardly reports on Greece anymore. If you’ve been out of the loop, allow me to get you caught up on the financial situation in that country, by giving two answers to the questions you’re probably thinking. Yes, the Greek government still sucks. And yes, the people of Greece are still really pissed off.

Believe it or not, riots are still a common occurrence in that country. In fact there was an incident last week in Athens, after the government tried to increase taxes and social security contributions. In response, over a thousand farmers from Crete, who used to be immune from these taxes, took a ferry to Athens and proceeded to riot outside of the agriculture ministry building.

This however wasn’t an ordinary riot, not even by Greek standards. The farmers fought the riot police with shepherd crooks.

Taxes are being hiked to satisfy inspectors who represent the international creditors who Greece’s debt. If the government can’t pay 7 billion euros by July, then the country will once again face the possibility of default. However, the farmers are determined to change their Leftist government’s mind about the tax hikes. One of the protesting farmers who spoke to The Guardian stated that “We want to have them take back everything they have encumbered us with. To us, it seems like the powers that be have looted everything.”

UPDATE 07:20 16 March 2017

A quick word (approximately 10:00) from Dr. Jordan Peterson about how to get out of the post-Modernist funk…

In the above video, he really captures the essence of the Bergoglio mindset…

archbishop-jedraszewski

It’s turning out to be a busy day.

More good news. Today we learned that Krakow got a new archbishop. He is Archbishop Marek Jędraszewski. And just to give you a flavor of the new archbishop’s style and form, I have translated a post from a Polish website, that contain some of the Archbishop’s classic thoughts.

The other significant aspect of this appointment is that the new archbishop replaces Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz. (see here) This is also good news for the Polish Episcopate who has been fighting off infiltration into its ranks from the … let’s call it the Coprophagians.

The original post comes via the Telewizja Republica website. (see here)

Enjoy…

Archbishop Jędraszewski, a nightmare for leftists and liberals! Here are the strongest statements of the Archbishop of …

 

The new Archbishop of Krakow, Archbishop Marek Jędraszewski  is really a tough competitor. He exposed himself to the attacks from all of the mainstream media. It is worth remembering this fact. Here are portal malydziennik.pl 5’s list of the strongest expression of the new Archbishop of Krakow!

In defense of civilization

“I can easily imagine that in a few years, I hope that I do not live to see this, in say 2050, a few whites will be shown to other human races – here in Europe – just as the Indians are now displayed in the United States on their reservations. There once were such people, who lived here, but they ceased to exist at there own request, because they could recognize who they are from a biological perspective. “

About Magdalena Sroda (An ex-communist radical feminist)

“I cannot appreciate the genius professor Sroda, who claims that Jesus was the first advocate of gender. But this is perhaps a special interpretation of this phenomenon (…) Can someone please explain to me, because maybe I’m too stupid to understand it – knowing the Gospel – the extent to which Christ is the first creator and supporter of gender? I cannot do it, but maybe I am limited.”

About homosexuality

“The Church does not condemn and does not hate gay people. The Church teaches and identifies certain things that are bad. There should be a differentiation between the two concepts: gay and homosexual. There are many people who exhibit homosexual tendencies, who know about their disorder and are struggling with it, they do not flaunt it. Something totally different is the gay environment that tries to impose on all, their own way of thinking about sex. Gay communities often use manipulative techniques and certain discourse methods about gayness. They are introducing informational chaos, preventive censorship – eliminating those who call evil, evil. These people are called fascists, devotees, the use of pejorative labels to identify people who have the courage to express the objective truth. By the introduction of acceptance , it is then assumed that this is normal. The gay organizations then also introduce sanctioning, and thus seek to legalize some of their behavior and their acceptance in the majesty of the law. Often they use repression – forcibly removing from the public debate those who call evil, evil “

On Adam Michnik (ex communist, turned opposition to communist rule, then turned ex-communists protector, now Soros back newspaper editor)

“This man continuously afraid of the moral foundation, which are the 10 commandments, by this falling into a form of moral relativism, a fact that anyone can have his own truth and live by it and impose it to others. At the end of the process,  in his fearing nationalism, he hits out at the citizen in what is the most important aspects of our entire great tradition – in patriotism. This man did not want our lives after ’89 to be formed according to these three words, which makes up our one big program for Poland – God, Honor, Country. The correct order of the state must be built on God, who is love, and only then is it possible for full freedom and on which you can build a true democracy and be confident of the future “

The red disease

“In light of these Pope’s statements, there is no doubt: the Warsaw uprising insurgents did not give up the truth about their humanity and did not want to build the future of Poland on false imperatives. Referring therefore to the speech John Paul II pertaining to the said laws, we must recognize them as one big lie about a person, as a serious anthropological mistake, due to the rejection of the classical truth about man, which is today’s extreme leftist ideology. Referring to the verse of Joseph Andrew Szczepanski titled Red disease, which is in itself one of the large indictment of red Bolshevism, we must state clearly: now comes to us the leftist plague. Therefore, in all seriousness, we must ask ourselves a series of questions, inspired by the heroic song “Ziutka” How many of us see this plague as salvation for themselves, and how many “welcome her with disgust”? How many of us know that it “will again be terribly afterwards and tell themselves that again the ridicule us”? How many of us are aware of how terrifying the consequences are of his intention, “we are all lying here in a row?” How many really believe that the “new victorious Polish [nevertheless] will be born?” Looking at the media violence against us and the universal voice of the so-called “authorities”, you can sometimes doubt in the good future of our nation. We are left, however, the ultimate foundation – faith in God, who is the Lord of historical feats and of history itself “

trump-15-days-out

In yesterday’s post we began to explain how FRAUDULANT POLLS are disseminated and propagated. We observed that these polls that are being produced, have no grounding whatsoever in OBJECTIVE REALITY.  We also OBSERVED that there is a “network” of pseudo-journalists who are COLLUDING with the Establishment/DemocraticParty/SickHillaryCampaign to create a VIRTUAL REALITY that does not exist in nature in general and in the US electorate in particular.

So the question then becomes, why are these pseudo-journalists COLLUDING… bah CONSPIRING, with the implicit approval of their superiors, to create this TRANSRATIONAL VIRTUAL REALITY? 

To answer this question we begin on this morning’s Drudge Report. I have placed a screen shot of the link at the top of this post. The lead story is as follows:

trump-15-days-out-i

So Ivestor’s Business Daily, one of the LEGITIMATE polls has The Donald up by 2 percentage points nationwide. Yet its editors OBSERVE that the Sick Hillary campaign is acting “as if the race is already won”. 

How odd?

Or is it?

Over at the catholic Zero Hedge website, we find this interesting piece of information just released by Wikileaks. (see here) What is in this leaked email is how to create a FRAUDULANT POLL, just like the one that was released by the AGITPROP “news” organization WashPo early Sunday… just in time for the political talk shows.

Furthermore, another post, using the WikiLeaks disclosures at The Gateway Pundit website,  discloses the STRATEGY for the Establishment/DemocraticParty/SickHillaryCampaign to create a VIRTUAL REALITY. (see here) The STRATEGY is to “discourage Trump supports in the following manner:

” Barrage of high-frequency recent polls. If countered with pro-Trump polls counter with friendly (538) averages. Avoid “Brexit” arguements. If target is hooked, move to swing-states (FL/PA) and declare election over. See Poll-Elasticity folder for further statistics”

So there you have it. The “election is over” so what are you harping about, uncouth pleb!

Here is the confidential internal Clinton Campaign memo:

trump-15-days-out-ii

Which still leaves one major question open. And that question is:

how does the Clinton Campaign transition from FRAUDULANT POLLS to an election victory?

In other words, it can’t just be to WEAPONIZE DESPONDENCY and that alone will secure a victory for the Establishment/DemocraticParty/SickHillaryCampaign forces of EVIL.

And the answer is, it CAN’T.

Here is how another blogger sees this TRANSITION from FRAUDULENT POLLS to RIGGED ELECTIONS. Over at the Chateau Heartiste blog, (see here) we can read the following:

Big ol’ rigged polls serve thec*nt (Sick Hillary) in three ways:

  1. Perception of desirability/success/inevitability.
  2. Demoralization of Trump supporters. (Bad polls can depress turnout for the candidate who is behind)
  3. Most importantly, rigged polls give cover to thec*nt conglomerate to engage in vote fraud.

Yes, number 3. is the CORRECT answer. It is this, i.e. “rigged polls give cover to thec*nt conglomerate to engage in vote fraud” that explains why one (namely, a BIG MEDIA EXECUTIVE) would comprimise his business to produce and disseminate blatantly FRAUDULENT POLLS, POLLS whose results are a mathematical (statistical) IMPOSSIBILITY.

And what proof do we have for this CONSPIRACY THEORY?

Proof comes via none other than that EPIC FAILURE NEO-MODERNIST EXPERIMENT known as the FrancisEconomy of Venezuela. According to another WikiLeak document, it would appear that the manner in which the FrancisDictators, i.e. Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro RIGGED elections in the FrancisParadise of Venezuela was by using CROOKED voting machines. Here are the facts: (see here)

Of course, the integrity of “elections” in Venezuela have long been questioned particularly after WikiLeaks posted the following cable linking Hugo Chavez to a mysterious company that came out of nowhere in 2000 and suddenly snatched up major contracts to supply voting machines around the world.  The company, Smartmatic, included a Hugo Chavez campaign adviser on it’s board.  Curiously, according to Gateway Pundit, the company’s board also included Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, a man who served on the board of George Soros’s Open Society Foundations and who was formerly the vice-chairman of Soros’s Investment Funds. 

And how does that relate to the current US Presidential Election?

Here’s how:

But, what is perhaps even more disturbing is that Smartmatic has also secured major contracts to supply voting machines for 16 states in the U.S., including key battleground states like Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. 

And the catholic website Zero Hedge leaves of with a famous Obama Stalin quote:

Which leaves us with only one thing left to say: 

“Those who cast the votes decide nothing.

Those who count the votes decide everything.”

-Joseph Stalin

And that folk, is how the sausage is made.

Here is one email with the background info on Smartmatic Corp (see here):

trump-15-days-out-iii

Concluding, what is apparent from the above information is that this years US election is completely RIGGED. It is RIGGED in order to elect an acceptable CANDIDATE, … acceptable to what appears to be a US FRANCHISE or BRANCH of an INTERNATIONAL ESTABLISHMENT.  A ONE WORLD SECT. 

The PLAYERS are not what they appear to be, in that these people have long ceased being AMERICANS. These folks are INTERNATIONALISTS, or what Stalin would call COSMOPOLITANS, who are trying to put in place a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT or a ONE WORLD ORDER. 

This ONE WORLD ORDER is in fact a SECT (see here). 

Simple Definition of sect

  • : a religious group that is a smaller part of a larger group and whose members all share similar beliefs

 

  • : a religious or political group that is connected to a larger group but that has beliefs that differ greatly from those of the main group

If this ONE WORLD SECT™ wins in 15 short days, the country that we know just might not survive. But what’s more important, the Civilization that created the country that we know as the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, will be in mortal danger. 

What is even more frightening, there is nothing suitable or acceptable offered, to replace that which is being destroyed before our very eyes.

Just as the EPIC FAILED NEO-MODERNIST EXPERIMENT™ that is Vatican II has destroyed the Catholic Church, the EPIC FAILED NEO-MODERNIST EXPERIMENT™  known as the ONE WORLD SECT™  is getting ready to destroy the most successful GOVERNMENT MODEL known to man, up til now.

And as with all EPIC FAILED NEO-MODERNIST EXPERIMENT™, John Lamont’s observations hold: (see here)

Neomodernism, however, on a religious (or political) level is a purely negative thesis. As a result it has no attractive force of its own, and ecclesiastical (or political) structures that fall into its grip eventually die away – a process now visible all over the world.

In our case, the FrancisEconomy of Venezuela is the point of reference.

Furthermore, if the neo-Modernists have their way, we can all expect to find ourselves in the near future, in a situation like those other unfortunate “beneficiaries” of this ONE WORLD SECT™ largess, namely those poor souls living in the FrancisParidise of Venezuela. 

So all in all, we really are in the later end of the Flight 93 Election. 

And that is the OBJECTIVE REALITY of the matter.

Phyllis Schlafly I

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace.

It was with the utmost sadness that I read the headlines about the death of Phyllis Schlafly this morning.

A true champion of NORMALITY, and one that led by example. I have no doubt that once the natural order reassertes itself and the “powers that be” are forced to accept God and His creation, Mrs. Schlafly’s inestimable contribution to this battle that is being waged, against the forces of the evil one in this age of darkness, will be highly appreciated and valued by future generations.

Below, from the CBS affiliate in St. Louis (see original here)…

FOR THE RECORD

 

Longtime Conservative Icon Phyllis Schlafly Dies at 92

ST. LOUIS (KMOX/AP) — Phyllis Schlafly, one of the most iconic and recognizable leaders in America’s conservative movement for many decades, has died.

Schlafly founded the Eagle Forum in 1972, a pro-family conservative group focusing heavily on social issues — it has about 80,000 members and, as of this week, Schlafly was still president.

“Phyllis Schlafly spent an astounding 70 years in public service of her fellow Americans,” said the Eagle Forum in a statement. “Her focus from her earliest days until her final ones was protecting the family, which she understood as the building block of life. She recognized America as the greatest political embodiment of those values. From military superiority and defense to immigration and trade; from unborn life to the nuclear family and parenthood, Phyllis Schlafly was a courageous and articulate voice for common sense and traditional values.”

“America has lost a great stateswoman, and we at Eagle Forum and among the conservative movement have lost a beloved friend and mentor, who taught and inspired so many to fight the good fight in defense of American values,” said Eunie Smith, Eagle Forum’s First Vice President in a statement. “I have personally lost a dear friend of over forty years.”

Schlafly was born Aug. 15, 1924, and grew up in Depression-era St. Louis. Her parents were Republican but not politically involved.

Her own activism was born partly out of convenience. With the country involved in World War II during her college years, Schlafly worked the graveyard shift at the St. Louis Ordnance Plant. Her job included testing ammunition by firing machine guns. She would get off work at 8 a.m., attend morning classes, then sleep in the middle of the day before doing it all over again.

The schedule limited her options for a major. “In order to pick classes to fit my schedule I picked political science,” Schlafly recalled in the 2007 interview.

She graduated from Washington University in 1944, when she was 19. Her first taste of real politics came at age 22, when she guided the 1946 campaign of Republican congressional candidate Claude Bakewell, helping him to a major upset win.

In 1952, with her young family living in nearby Alton, Illinois, Schlafly’s husband, attorney John Schlafly Jr., was approached about running for Congress. He declined, but she ran and narrowly lost in a predominantly Democratic district. She also ran unsuccessfully for Congress in 1970.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington University in 1944 — her masters from Radcliffe College in 1945 — and a J.D. from Washington University in 1978. She also received an honorary degree from Washington University in 2008.

She was known nationwide and in many political circles as the reason the Equal Rights Amendment was defeated in the 1970s and, subsequently, into the 1980s. As momentum grew in the 1970s for the amendment, Schlafly became its most outspoken critic and was vilified by its supporters. She had a pie smashed into her face and pig’s blood thrown on her, and feminist Betty Friedan once told Schlafly: “I’d like to burn you at the stake.” She was chastised in a 1970s “Doonesbury” a framed copy of which hung on her office wall.

“What I am defending is the real rights of women,” Schlafly said at the time. “A woman should have the right to be in the home as a wife and mother.”

Thirty-five states ratified the amendment, three short of the necessary 38. Schlafly said amendment supporters couldn’t prove it was needed.

“They were never able to show women would get any benefit out of it,” she told the Associated Press in 2007. “It (the U.S. Constitution) is already sex-neutral. Women already have all the rights that men have.”

Missouri Republican Party Chairman John Hancock told KMOX Schlafly was a trailblazer.

“This was an organization built on grassroots volunteers,” Hancock said. “They made a true difference in this country.”

Schlafly’s organization has been split this presidential election — Schlafly supported Donald Trump, though many board members disagreed. She maintained her leadership of the organization.

She also fought nephew, Tom Schlafly, over the naming rights to his brewery in St. Louis. Schlafly contended her name juxtaposed with beer and libations would damage the conservative brand’s reputation. A judge disagreed.

Schlafly was 92. She died in her Ladue home due to complications from cancer, she was surrounded by family.

Dziwisz

Today I bring you fantastic news from Poland.

An event of seismic proportion occurred on the 29th of November in the city of Torun. For anyone who follows the affairs of the Church in Poland, they will be familiar with the split that has been created in the Catholic Church after the fall of communism. This split was created due to the Polish Church not going through a process of “de-communization”, allowing priests who were “controlled agents” of the communist era intelligence apparatus, to not be held accountable for their prior actions. The ex-communists, who took control of the “private” media after the fall of communism, and who had the case files of these collaborationist priests in their possession, created figures of “moral authority” out of these corrupt clerics. They even created a “illusory mainstream” church which they used to “divide et imperia”.  And just like in the case of the homo-lobby in the Vatican, which is described at the Rorate Caeli blog today (see here), the situation is exactly the same with these corrupt clerics in Poland. I will reproduce the text of New Catholic’s summary of the point of view of the former Swiss Guard commander and just transpose it onto the situation in Poland:

Why is this network dangerous? Not because homosexuals clerics who were communist collaborators are dangerous people themselves or bound to promote “conspiracies”, but because, as Mäder describes, in order to protect themselves, active homosexuals clerics who were communist collaborators and their friends end up trading their loyalties to their superiors and the Institution founded by Christ for personal loyalties and blackmail. That is, since they know it is both wrong and condemned by permanent Catholic doctrine and practice, they create an underground loyalty network, and their loyalties go to their accomplices rather than to the Bride of Christ.

And that sums up the situation in the Polish Catholic Church since the fall of communism in a nutshell.

However, something has changed recently. What has changed is that just like the homosexual can not serve two masters, neither can the typical European politician. And one of the post communist formations here in Poland, the political party Civic Platform, has turned into a raving loony gender promoting political party, funded through the EU, but also by money coming in from that evil NGO/George Soros/UN/Private Foundations axis of evil. (Two “evils” are necessary here.)

Now this in and of itself would not be anything out of the ordinary for what is happening in the wider Euroland. What makes the case in Poland specific, is that this political party (the Civic Platform – PO) used that part of the Church that was comprised of the clerical communist collaborators and their useful idiots, referred to as the “Łagiewniki Church”, to split the Catholic vote. But it gets better. In 2007, before the PO first came to power, they were in a tight race with the other party that represented the authentic Catholic position and those Catholics who were persecuted during communist times. The collaborationist clerical faction was able to talk the newly returned (from Rome) Cardinal Dziwisz, the archbishop of Krakow into backing the PO. The height of the absurdity, on the part of Dziwisz was that he did not protest when the future Prime Minister, after 20+ years of a civil marriage, went and got married in a church literally the week before the election. Dziwisz could have stopped it if he wanted to, but he let the circus go on. Not only did he let the circus go on, he became the main act. Dziwisz took upon himself to get the Catholic Church in Poland to take over the Radio Maryja radio station. (see update section) One can just imagine what the typical C.V. of the typical senior management employee would have looked like. To paraphrase the immortal words of Foghorn Leghorn: “bright, the boy is not”.

Now, one can say that people make mistakes. But the problem with Dziwisz was that he could not own up to his mistake. It took him from 2007 to literally a couple of days ago to finally bring himself to admit that he was wrong.

And it is at this point, that I will let Mr.Jacek Karnowski finish the rest of this story: The original link is here, and I will add emphasis and [comments].

 

On November 29th in Torun Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz announced the end of a dangerous delusion

The homily of Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, delivered on November 29 during the Mass in Torun at the celebration of the 23rd anniversary of Radio Maria.

The fact that Cardinal Dziwisz, who is associated more with the “mainstream” Church preached at the annual commemoration to the audience of Radio Maria, deserves to be commended. Even more so due to the words which he said, which were very important. No further reason would be needed, than to hear the declaration that “there is no Church in Łagiewniki [former collaborationist influenced side]and (another Church) in Torun. There is only one Church of Christ”. For us this is reality, and for the Cardinal likewise I am sure, but the fact, that these words were spoken with such power and in such a place at this moment in time, speaks for itself.

Cardinal Dziwisz also stood in the defense – very clearly – of the good name of the Torun radio station (Radio Maryja). As he indicated, the radio station represents “numbers of people who identify with Radio Maryja, who are given a voice through the radio station, because it expresses their value system, their deep faith and convictions, because they sometimes feel that their voice is not always taken into account by the other segments of society, the media and government circles. “

[Card. Dziwisz] also emphasized that the listeners of Radio Maria “want to be faithful, and are faithful to God, the Church and the Homeland,” which was greeted with applause. He stated:

“We must not allow them to be ignored nor ridiculed. One has to hear their voices, their fears, desires and hopes. Because they also assume responsibility for the fate of the nation and the Church. Thanks to Radio Maryja, they become participants in the public debate on important issues of Polish society, Polish families and the Poland of tomorrow. “

Lastly , turning to the Redemptorist [Father Tadeusz Rydzyk – Founder and Chairman] Cardinal Dziwisz said:

“It is you who are owed the gratitude of the Church and of all people of good will. You have a great deal of good in your hands, keep watch over it. “

We are dealing with an important breakthrough. The “mainstream” bishops represented by the likes of Cardinal Dziwisz have not spoken like this about Radio Maryja. Now, they are speaking, and this is not by accident.

Firstly, the fact is that there is no longer “a Church of Torun and a Church of Łagiewniki “. The latter cannot exist, because those faithful have chosen their careers (futures) in Europe, and over there, the relations with Catholicism (just like with a love of the Fatherland) strongly interfere with their choice. They no longer go on pilgrimages, and do not even pretend to listen to the voice of the clergy.

Second, even if the environment of the Civic Platform (post communist political party) – because this is who we are referring to – would want to cultivate this sort of fiction, the Church would have a problem with it. PO[Civic Platform] has become, by stealth but consistently, a party turned to the left executing the program a of leftists, and decidedly more openly hostile to the Church. It is, after all, this party is pushing the infamous “Convention for the Suppression of Violence” [Gender Legislation], which in reality is hitting the entire ethos of Polish culture and Catholicism.

Thirdly, a few years was time enough for the “Church Lagiewnicki ‘ to show its true face: which is conformism, opportunism, lukewarm, variability. There is nothing in it, on which anything could be built.

And fourth and finally, in the statement of Cardinal Dziwisz, there resonate echoes of an important consternation: in reality Radio Maryja does not scare anyone away from the Church (which was for many years, the most frequently raised concern), which served as a justification for making decisions that were shallow [petty] in nature. And those who do not want to stand with the Church, will always find an excuse.

Radio Maryja is a concrete substance, while the rest are- often, but not always – flights of fancy.

The 29th of November 2014 should therefore find a place in the annals of the Catholic Church, as the day in which Cardinal Dziwisz announced the end of a dangerous delusion.

Honor should go to him, since this act required a lot of wisdom and much courage.

PS. As part of the return to reality of the Church in Poland, there is one more, in my opinion, inevitable act to be performed: removing the adjective “Catholic” from the Tygodnik Powszechny weekly (weekly new magazine). Let them [magazine] continue writing about Father Rydzyk in a “urban-esque “ [refers to Jerzy Urban,a communist provocateur during communist era and an apologist who made a career out of insulting Catholics and the Church-all in the name of free speech] style as per “Rydzyk”, let them further defend the Satanists, let them continue cashing in on the government advertizing, but let’s not pretend that they are on the side of the Church. We will probably have to wait for this development, but, I believe we will see it.

And a final comment.

Like the old expression states: the bigger they are, the harder they fall. And Dziwisz fell hard. All that was missing is him making a pilgrimage to Torun from Krakow on his knees, but his cardinal’s dignity would not allow it. And maybe that is for the better.

Vifgano Cupich

Over this past weekend, I published two rather lengthy posts on this blog, i.e. “The Confused Cardinal” and “The Road Trip”. For those that had the time to read them, these two posts dealt not so much with the ‘child abuse scandals’ per se, scandals that have been plaguing the Catholic Church since the Aggiornamento of the early 1960’s, but more with the present day response of the Catholic hierarchy when dealing with these types of incidents. And if one read the two posts attentively, one would realize that the Catholic Church is really not dealing with this issue. Sure, when sued, the local ordinaries defend themselves and their institution. And when they lose in court, the ordinaries release the funds to pay the settlement, accompanied by a whinging comment about how they “feel the victim’s pain”. Whether the pain is real or imagined is an entirely different matter. Recently, we even have a phenomenon whereby the ordinaries settle out of court with an accompanying public relations campaign, in a process that appears to have more to do with building their public image then with anything else and at the cost of the institution to which they formally have a fiduciary responsibility. But hey, it’s not their money, and if a con artist gets a settlement along with real victims, it obviously is a price worth paying for these “dialoging” types. But to actually try and prevent the situations from arising in the first place… well … like they say in Brooklyn: Fahgettaboudit.

And that is the subject of today’s post: The Lukewarm Nuncio

Introduction

Speaking of feeling someone’s pain, I really feel the pain of the Vatican’s apostolic nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano. For those of you dear readers who do not know the cause of Archbishop Vigano’s pain, I will try to enlighten you below. Here’s the skinny.

From what appeared in the Italian press circe 2011 (see here) , the poor Archbishops pain was the result of losing what can be described as a turf war inside the Roman Curia. But instead of silently accepting his defeat and moving on, the Archbishop took the quite irregular action of writing detailed letters to not only Benedict XVI but also to Benedict’s  Secretary of State, Cardinal Bertone. In these letters, the good Archbishop denounced his opponents. When these letters were received by the intended parties, investigations ensued, investigations which found that the poor Archbishop’s evidence was rather “lacking”. Not only were the charges that there was/were a plot(s) against the archbishop baseless, but in the mean time a television documentary was made about the incident, promoting surprisingly enough, the point of view of our Archbishop, titled: The untouchables. Just to give you dear reader a flavor for the storyline of the program ” The untouchables”, here is the quote from Magister’s blog (see here):

Corbellini, [quasi-supporter of Vigano] who was deputy secretary general of the governorate of Vatican City-State from 1993 to 2011, and began his ecclesiastical career in the shadow of Salesian cardinal Rosalio Castillo Lara [crypto-salesianism strikes again? (see here)] (who for his part did a great deal to open doors for Tarcisio Bertone, an ordinary priest at the time) appeared to the viewers to be the one most willing, with silences and smiles rather than with clear statements, to confirm the basic premise of the broadcast: that Viganò, the moralizing loner, had been driven out, at the behest of Cardinal Bertone above all, for his stubbornness  in enforcing the norms of transparency and honesty.

Oh my. An honest and transparent cleric relieved of his duty during the Benedictine papacy? But I digress…

Needless to say, Archbishop Vigano could have been “honest and transparent” and many other things, but untouchable he was not. And the consolation prize that he received for coming in second place in the turf war was exile to Washington D.C. in the U. S. of A.

Just to get a feel for the outcome of this little incident and the promotional televised documentary, lets return to the comments from Sandro Magister at the Chiesa blog: (emphasis and [comments])

The strongest argument in the statement used against the premise of the broadcast [Vatican’s response to the premise of the broadcast] is the fact that in place of Viganò, Benedict XVI did not appoint someone with a reputation as a deal maker [oh my, implication that Vigano is a “wheeler dealer bishop”? –> COLD Christian, yes?] For definitions see here], but a churchman of great juridical competence and undisputed personal honesty: Bishop Giuseppe Sciacca, known to and appreciated by Bertone, but also personally esteemed by Benedict XVI and his personal secretary, Georg Gänswein.

So all’s well that ends well. The COLD Christian “wheeler dealer” Archbishop Vigano is “promoted” and goes into exile in Obama’s Washington. Napoleon should have been so lucky.

The Washington Years

Even though he Archbishop received a very important position close to the center of power in the capital of the most powerful nation on earth, it wasn’t really the kind of power he wanted to be close to. What the Archbishop wished for under each of his Christmas trees in each of the passing years was a return ticket to that 340 square mile plot of land resting just west of the Ponte Sant’ Angelo, i.e. the Vatican. And it really didn’t have anything to do with being closer to… shall we say …. a Higher Power. No, what the good Archbishop really, really wanted was what was promised to him. Magister explains just what was promised to him:

On the other hand, the statement could not remind Viganò that it is not permissible for him to complain about the failure to fulfill a promise that he would succeed Lajolo as president of the governorate of Vatican City-State, assuming that such a promise was made to him. Nor could it set out in black and white that such promises cannot be made by someone, like the secretary of state, who does not have the power to do so. Such appointments, in fact, belong only to the pope.

So this incident just looks like one big misunderstanding. The Archbishop thought that something was said or implied, but what he thought was said or implied could not have been said or implied since “such promises could not be made by anyone”.

Fast forward to February and March of 2013, sitting at the D.C Nuncture at 3339 Massachusetts Ave, with a lovely view of magnolia trees and the blossoming cherries in springtime, the Archbishop keenly observing what was happening at that “other center of power”, where the view was one of cobblestone streets, the peeling stucco of palazzo facades and the occasional potted palm tree… and a resignation that was taking place. So being the pro-active type, as per your typical “wheeler dealer” Cold Christian, he decided that his fortune might have changed. Besides, he had support of the “crypto-salesians” as per Magister’s text, and the head of the “crypto-salesians” was now the salesian Vice-Pope. So the Archbishop latched onto the skirt of the goddess of fortune as she passed by. To explain, I will defer you dear reader over to the Rorate Caeli blog and the very wise, knowledgeable, and highly influential cleric, writing under the pen name of don Pio Pace to provide the details (see here):

Cupich’s [Yes, we are speaking about Blase “Francis pulls a rabbit out of his mitre” Cupich] promotion to this particularly important position, that usually entails the elevation to the cardinalatial red, was a personal decision of Pope Francis himself. More precisely, the Pope imposed his candidate on Cardinal Ouellet and the Congregation for Bishops, under the desperate suggestion of the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, Abp. Carlo Maria Viganò. We know well that those men who are particularly authoritarian, such as Francis, also are, in many cases, easily manipulated by those who learn how to read them. Moreover, it is enough to waggle before the eyes of the Pope the scarecrow called Cardinal Burke to lead him in one direction or another, because he has kept against the Prefect of the Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura an extremely strong rancor after the 2013 conclave, in which the American Cardinal was one of those who tried to thwart his path to the pontificate.

And that is how Bishop Cupich was made installed.

Ah, but what do we have here? A COLD Christian Vigano getting the HOT Christian Cupich appointed in Chicago! This would place Archbishop Vigano somewhere between the HOT and COLD extremes on the HOT/COLD Christian Continuum, or in other words, in the space populated by LUKEWARM Christians. But I digress…

Before we move on to the subject at hand, we still need to explain the motivation behind the actions of our Archbishop. And here I will allows don Padre Pio to explain:

For Abp. Viganò, 73 years old, time is pressing, because there are almost no chances left for him to become the head of a Congregation. But to achieve a nomination such as that of Blase Joseph Cupich to Chicago makes one’s reputation.

And obviously, for a highly motivated 73 year old Archbishop, a reputation and a favor done for Francis could just be the ticket… not only back to Rome, but to the red zucchetto as well.

For those interested in the trial and tribulations of our good Archbishop, you will find the essentials in the above links that I have provided. However, we now need to move on to the subject of this post.

Not more letters?

As we have observed from the above text, the Vatican nuncio to the U.S. likes writing letters. However, receiving them is an entirely different matter. Over the course of the Bishop Finn Visitation, an anonymous letter writer and contributor to the Eponymous Flower blog has sent several letters to the Vatican’s apostolic nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano. I will allow the EF contributor/letter writer explain (see here):

… as Cardinal Sean [O’Malley] wrings his hands about Bishop Finn in Kansas City and demands an accounting, firing warning shots, there’s a Monastery in the Midwest with hundreds of victims and probably the highest concentration of sexual predators in the world. One reader writes that he has contacted the Nuncio in Washington, has contacted the local ordinary, the Abbot, and the Bishop of St. Cloud (Himself a St. John’s byproduct). Despite contacting them on two occasions, including letters, he has received no answer, no response to his letters, just silence and nothing changes.

Hmmm.The new ordinary of St. Cloud is a “St. John’s byproduct”? Very interesting.

So what can one make of this situation with the delivery of the letters. Can’t blame this on the US Postal Service. Can’t blame this on AT&T and the break up of Ma Bell into the baby Bells. Can’t blame this one on being “lost in the translation” like in the case of the English translation of the Bugnini N.O. rite. The caller spoke English and the called spoke English, or so one must assume.

So there obviously is a problem of a “failure to communicate” at one end of this conversation.

Obviously!

Summa Summarum

In the concluding passage of both the “The Confused Cardinal” and “The Road Trip” posts, the following passage appears:

“It is plain for all to see that the sex abuse scandals are really of a secondary importance. What is important is the power and prestige that comes with the positions. And in these time, with a pontiff like the present one, it appears that what’s important is whatever Francis fancies on any given day.”

To further support this contention, from the above material we can make the following inferences:

Writing letters and contacting the Vatican’s nuncio to the U.S. with respect to “sexual abuse of minors” cases is for all intents and purposes an exercise in futility. Not only because the present Nuncio, Archbishop Vigano has his own, and it needs to be added, a rather personal agenda, i.e. a return ticket to the Vatican, but more importantly because the good Archbishop can “read” the mind of our “authoritarian” pope very well. And what message Archbishop Vigano reads is the following: don’t bother me with “petty child abuse sex cases”, what really interests me is “to waggle before the eyes of the Pope the scarecrow called Cardinal Burke to lead him in one direction or another”. In other words, if it’s not about the Great Cardinal, Francis doesn’t want to hear it.

Next, the relative easy with which Vigano was able to install the “crypto-salesian” Cupich in the archdiocese of Chicago is also telling. Looks like “correctly reading the mind of Francis” can get you results in spite of the expressed objections of the Prefect and Congregation for Bishops that is responsible for these appointments. So a nominally Cold Christian archbishop can correctly “read the authoritarian pope’s” mind and get “the extreme liberal bishop Blase Cupich to the see of Chicago” installed.

And since we have touched on a “guilt by association” thread, the evidence for the linking of Cupich with the “crypto-salesians” is simple. The “crypto-salesian” Vigano, who was helped by the “crypto-salisian” Corbellini in the past, now promotes the choice of the “salesian” Vice-Pope (see here) without the Cardinal getting his hands dirty.

And as for the “sex abuse” scandals and the information being received at the Vatican’s US Nuncture about the situation at St. John’s Abbey, hey, it’s probably not something that Francis should be bothered with. And it would appear that Cardinal Sean, the President of the new Papal Commission “to protect minors” doesn’t want to bothered with this situation either (see here).

But it would appear that the situation with Bishop Finn is an entirely different ball of wax. It would appear that in a situation like this, it is easy to “to waggle before the eyes of the Pope the scarecrow called Cardinal Burke to lead him in one direction or another”. And hopefully this other direction might include a return ticket to the Vatican and a cardinal red zucchetto for our Lukewarm Christian Archbishop, and in the process, “relieve some of his pain”.

But one thing is for certain, Archbishop Vigano is definitely not interested in “relieving any of the pain” of the sex abuse victims.

And neither is it a priority for Cardinal O’Malley or Francis for that matter.

Players: Francis and the Time Machine

Is the 1968 generation taking the Church back to 1378?

For most faithful Catholics it is glaringly obvious that Francis is trying to remake the Catholic Church in his own image. But as to the specifics of “in the image of Francis”, many perplexing questions arise. These question arise from the garbled and confusing messages that Francis sends out almost daily. One area that causes great confusion is the area of ecumenism.

And this topic is the subject of a recent Sandro Magister post over at the Chiesa blog (link here).  In the blog post titled “Ecumenism Rewritten by Enzo Bianchi and Alberto Melloni”, Magister provides several key insights into the thinking of the Bergoglio camp.  Among them are the following two: [reproduced here with emphasis and comments]

The leaders of the “school of Bologna” have a very ambitious new project in the works: a history of the movement for Christian unity aimed at a thorough reform of the Catholic Church, starting with the dismantling of the papacy in its current form. They believe they have an ally in Pope Francis
…
For the “Bolognese” [school of Bologna] as well, in fact, only the councils that preceded the schism between West and East are fully ecumenical, as can be seen in their multi-volume edition of the “Conciliorum oecumenicorum generaliumque decreta,” criticized precisely for this reason by “L’Osservatore Romano” of June 3, 2007 with an unsigned official note attributed to Walter Brandmüller, today a cardinal.”

And they are going to attempt to do it under our noses and right out in the open.

Wonder how many cardinal electors are on-board for this “new springtime” that the Bergoglio camp is preparing?

But the real question is how much longer will the cardinal electors allow this madness to continue?

Questions, questions!

Players: Bruno ‘Slippery as an Eel’ Forte Heavily Defeated.

Francis Protege Heavily Defeated In Italian Bishops’ Conference Elections for Vice President.

Eponymous Flower blog has the Marco Tosatti story here.

Tosatti writes:

The Italian Episcopal Conference has elected the new Vice President for Central Italy yesterday. ‘Monsignor Mario Meini, Bishop of Fiesole, who was preferred by 140 votes against 60 Bruno Forte, Archbishop of Chieti-Vasto and Special Secretary of the Synod on the Family.

Looks like a revolt in the Italian Bishops’ Conference!

With 140 nays to 60 yeas, it was not even close. At this is one of Francis’s top dogs!  🙂

Good indication of the reality of the situation on the ground in Rome, when Francis can’t get one of his top lieutenants elected in a bishop’s conference that he controls. 🙂

If it was not for the fact that Francis is an absolute sovereign, he would be a seriously wounded “lame duck”. But since he is a monarch, he still is dangerous.

UPDATE 07:20 a.m. 12 November 2014

To further demonstrate the total and utter destruction that was meted out to Bruno ‘Slippery as and eel’ Forte’s candidacy, to the candidate himself and by direct extension to the bishop of Rome, a reminder of who “controls” the Italian Bishops’ Conference from the Rorate Caeli archives here:

Bishop Galantino, the new Secretary General of the CEI [Italian Bishops’ Conference] “made up” by Bergoglio in order to oversee and punish [Conference President] Cardinal Bagnasco (“guilty” of not having supported the Argentine prelate in the Conclave) did it again yesterday as he has done in the past.

In the not too distant future, there will come a time when “all the popes lackeys and all the popes men” will not be able to put Jorge Bergoglio’s papacy back together again.
