An Oration in the House of Delegates by Fr. Charles Constantine Pise, D.D., when Chaplain of the United States Senate, delivered at Annapolis, Maryland, July 4th, 1833.
Thanks for the history. Interesting look at how leaders of Catholic Maryland defended their Catholicism in balance with their patriotism in the shadow of a distinctly anti-Papist Protestant and Deist national culture. Still it gave me pause when I got to the part about the speaker having comfortably rubbed elbows with the allegedly Freemason founders.
The living links with our nation’s Founders has been severed in my lifetime, but was quite vivid up in the populace until my middle years. The last surge of it came with the nationwide interest in the ‘Civil War’, as many learned the essential link between the defeat of the original Republic and the creation & erection of a centralized monolithic obligatory Union enforced by Federal troops. Sadly, since then, people have reared an entirely false method of historiography which is simply the negative image of the old national hagiography. True filial piety is replaced with a Manichean fever dream, in which the actual enemies in play are projected backward, as if they were somehow above human life & history & unsusceptible to the tides of events.
If I would juxtapose this blather with the timeline of events in Donald's Jeffries' "Hidden History- Crimes and Cover-Ups in American Politics from 1776 to 1963 (What you were never taught in the Classroom)" it makes for uproarous laughter. But the line of hilarity that takes the proverbial cake is this one: "France, at that era, saw upon her throne the worthy descendant of Louis XIV, the religious successor of Charlemagne and Louis IX." He almost got that one right, as we shall see. And now, as Paul Harvey would say, for the rest of the story.
The "American Revolution" was so much Hoi Polloi and theatre that, like so many wars, was planned on both sides of the Atlantic. The American "Founding Fathers" were. for the most part, a collection of Merchant Freemasons and Agnostics who were engineering a nation free of the moral fetters of Christendom, particularly fealty to a church, a righteous Catholic hangover in Protestant Countries, and License and Agnosticism for all. To a man, the "Founding Fathers" decried "Popery" and "Monkish Superstitions". The Catholics among them, John and Charles Carroll, were way ahead of their time, conducting Mass in the vernacular and having Protestant Ministers come to give a Sermon from time to time. (They would have been right at home in post-Vatican II Catholic Amercia).
One of the most famous of the Revolutionaries was Ben Franklin, Sodomite, Pederast, and Satanist, if certain circles are to be believed. His most famous line was heard by many a prostitute: "Would you like to join me in the pursuit of happiness?" Why this scoundrel had the ear of the Roman Curia would be a wonder until you start to read the letters of Cardinal Rampolla to Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland, but we won't dive into that rabbit hole today. Suffice to say that the "Deep State" and the "Deep Church" have been with us much longer than many would care to think.
Of course, all the Revolutionaries were anti-Catholic to a tee, and they and their Masonic Comrades in the Illuminati across the sea had big plans- the establishment of no less than what St John would call the Scarlett Harlot of the Apocalypse, who rideth a like-colored beast while drinking from her goblet of impurities and sitteth upon many waters.
We can be thankful that the Archbishop of Quebec did not get the Vatican memo and was having nothing to do with Uncle Ben and Fr John Carroll when they came with an embassy for the cause. He defrocked any priest who would dare harbor the delegation and rallied the good people of Quebec and Montreal to rout the "Colonials" and send them skittering back to New York with their proverbial tail tucked around their legs.
General Howe proved himself most inept and stogy, refusing to harangue the Rebel Army while it helped itself to British munitions, cannon, stores, and etc. Meanwhile, the Minutemen of Massachusetts, while quite happy to go out and shoot British for a day for a fee, were not so amenable to a long march miles and weeks away from their homesteads. They refused to be drafted and were jailed by the thousands. So much for the call of freedom and liberty. Like the British Hessians, they were willing to fight so long as the price was right, but the Colonial Monopoly Money... er, Scrip was refused by the local farmers and merchants when it was soon realized that the First Version of the Federal Reserve, like all subsequent, resolved to print its way to prosperity. Hence the Long Hard Winter at Valley Forge. Cousin George can thank his intelligence, however, that the Hessians, warm and comfortable, were having a Merry Little Christmas when Washington Crossed the Delaware and helped himself to all their supplies. Once again, the British were the Colonials greatest benefactor.
Then of course, we have the great Marquis Lafayette (whose name is pronounced about five ways and if the local version is not correct nobody knows what the heck you are talking about. "La-Fee-et Street? Never heard of that." "La-Feet Street? Not around here.") and the Great General Pulaski. As for Pulaski, he was just a few doors down from the Hessians to the East of Prussia, and just as opportune. He was recruited by the Freemasons to drill and muster the "recruits", and give them some morale before the rest of the company deserted at Valley Forge. As for Mr Lafayette, he came with real French Coinage, to return the Federal Reserve to a Gold Standard for the time being, and brought with him a French Entourage, whose devotion to the Blessed Sacrament so edified the local Puritan Population of Boston that Our Lord had to be taken shipboard every sunset lest the mob profane Him by the Dawns Early Light.
A detailed discussion of all the staged foibles of the "Revolutionary War" will await a later date. Suffice to say that when, between the battles of Noland and Trafalgar, has a British Fleet ever been routed by the French Navy, as it was off the Yorktown Peninsula? But then again, this Wolf supposes that, with enough luck, McHale's Pt Boat Navy could have sunk the IJN Yamato.
Finally, let us briefly discuss Louis XVI, the "Most Catholic King", as Pius VI like to call him. Like Pius XII concerning Vatican II, he surrounded himself with the revolutionaries, and ate cake along with Marie Antoinette while the French peasants starved in a contrived famine that gave the fledgling Rothschild Banksters enormous profits. Suffice to say he was like his Sodomite predecessor Louis XIV in many ways, and like the Barbarian Charlemagne, but most unlike Louis IX, who almost changed the course of history.
And so, on that warm October day in 1781, the British surrendered at Yorktown, and General Cornwallis, General Washington, and the Marquis Lafayette had a good old fashioned Masonic Hoedown, before parting ways to continue their parts in the de-Christianization of the world. Washington and his successors would soon be harassing Catholic Mexico, land of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Lafayette would return to lead France to Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, and Cornwallis would oversee the final dissolution of the Glory of the English Crown and the transfer of the reign of power to the East India Company, where it remains to this very day.
Both the “Boston tea party” and the “Boston massacre” were Masonic-orchestrated false flags designed solely to push the emotional buttons of gullible colonists so that they would react irrationally and violently, ultimately to bring about the establishment of the satanic New World Order that the American Experiment exemplifies.
Today is The Feast of Our Lady of Refuge in my old diocese of L. A., in San Diego, and California at large. Apropos of the majority of posts of late at Hiraeth, it is also the commemoration of all Holy Popes in my current diocese of Brooklyn.
Here’s a brief history of the feast, originating in Alta California in 1843 A. D. —
Commemoration of OUR LADY OF REFUGE
“The Franciscan missionary Francisco Diego Garcia y Moreno was the first Bishop of the Californias--Baja California (Lower California in what is now Mexico) and Alta California (Higher Calfornia in the present U.S.A.). It was he who proclaimed Nuestra Señora del Refugio, Patrona de las Ambas Californias. The official proclamation was made by Bishop Garcia Diego on January 4, 1843, at Mission Santa Clara in Alta California.
“In 1981 the California Catholic Conference of Bishops petitioned the Vatican Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship for authorization to observe the feast of Our Lady of Refuge on July 5 as an obligatory memorial. This was approved by official document dated January 15, 1982, and signed by Archbishop Giuseppe Casoria.
“The dioceses of Baja California celebrate this patronal feast on July 4. Because of Independence Day, the dioceses of Alta California chose July 5, and the memorial is listed for that day in their Ordo. The feast of Our Lady of Refuge (sometimes called Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners) has its own proper prayers for the Eucharistic Liturgy and the Liturgy of the Hours.
“Over the last century and a half the original Diocese of Las Ambas Californias has been divided many times on both sides of the border as the local Church has grown. Until the end of the nineteenth century the priests of the Archdiocese of San Francisco prayed a special liturgical office for the feast of Our Lady of Refuge. In the Diocese of San Diego the feast has always been observed.
“The renewal of interest in this Marian feast honoring the patroness of the Golden State was stimulated by the 1987-1988 Marian Year observance and Pope John Paul II's encouragement to revitalize interest in special, local feasts of the Virgin Mother Mary.”
Collect: “Almighty and merciful God, who hast made the blessed Mary ever Virgin the refuge and the help of sinners, grant unto us that by her protection, all our sins having been forgiven, we may obtain the happy fulfillment of the purposes of Thy mercy. Through our Lord . . . .”
I’m a native Baltimorean, long in exile in other states, but my patriotism is the local patriotism of the people of Maryland in my generation, before the collapse of the state into the black hole of Washington DC. My family was still very much alive, through my mother’s line, of how brutal the Crown had become in imposing the avaricious tyranny of those who through finance controlled Parliament. We were very much alive to the attempt to destroy the Republic , the Battle of Fr McHenry being especially recalled by descendants of its participants. I know all the complaints about the Masons, etc, but
Taking their cue from that First Rebel Lucifer, the purpose of ALL revolutions (Copernican, Protestant,American, French, Industrial, Russian, Sexual, et al) is to dethrone Christianity (The Catholic Faith) as the guiding principal in the works.
The Colonies united in a war against the Revolution from above, which was the Luciferian Revolution, and remains the true implementer of the revolt against God. The American colonialists knew nothing of the secular anti-God mindset & would have fought it. I am sorry that people seem to despise the liberty granted by God because the libertines & godless used all their power & influence to seduce people into absence of vigilance and acceptance of totalitarian power.
I might be misreading your last sentence, but I don't see that "people seem to despise the liberty granted by God"; rather, perhaps more so they despise the lax, consumerist, secular mindset that allowed "the libertines & godless to use all their power & influence to seduce people into absence of vigilance and acceptance of totalitarian power".
Is America better off spiritually post-revolution? Or could we have done as well in God's eyes, or even better, without a bloody revolution. Same goes for the civil war.
People are conflicting the problems of liberty with the problems of a cancerous libertinism. They despise the origins & institutions established by the Founders because they have had only the foretastes of real tyranny, so they fantasize about Christian kings, when it was the monarchs who undid themselves by going far beyond the limits of the era of Christendom & sought to occupy the vacuum of balanced powers in the varied nations of that Christendom. We have lived through 25 years of a nascent absolutist power raised against the old Republic following 9/11 and then the Covidian/Wokian tyranny of the last decade. There WAS no America, but only colonies, before the War for Independence, and it was Lincoln and his absolutist cronies who created a State from which one could not secede. Europe is descending into complete totalitarian rule, making opposition in speech a punishable offense, and if it were not for Americans, and Elon Musk buying a social media company and exposing it, we would now be further under the boot of the globalists. Instead of giving thanks, a particular coterie call it controlled opposition, Masonic this and that. It results in actual quietism parading itself as spiritual awareness of the divine plan. I know it is all very absorbing, but all these scenarios are part of “Earth’s absorbing vanities” , and not doctrinal or historical clarity, but ultimately, sloth.
I am familiar with the Plot Against the Church by Mr Pinay. He starts rather late- I think at the Great Western Schism. I do think the Papacy was captured by Boniface VIII. But they had to tread very carefully as there were lots of wise monks at the time. They needed a "reformation" to destroy the cloisters.
"Mr Pinay" is actually a pseudonym for 12 conservative members of the college of cardinals who were opposed to the foreseen planned hijacking of Vatican II. And they start not in the Middle Ages but before Christ (Part 3). It's a very imoprtant & little known book.
The actual authorship of The Plot Against the Church is highly debatable. For my part I do not believe there was ONE reliable cardinal left by the time of Pius X, let alone Pius XII. The last Birdbrain I would put any credence in whatsoever is Cardinal Pie. I think I can safely say he had no part in the diabolical tampering of the Message of La Salette, which has led to such a panoply of confusion that it is hard to discern what Our Lady actually said. (Hint: The "Official Secret" is not it.)
Controlled opposition is one of the best tactics in the Deep Church playbook, and it has worked exceptionally well over the years.
La Popessa, for all her breathtaking revelations, was also controlled opposition. She had to have known that both Spellman and Montini were flaming fags. She gave a broad hint concerning the former, but never mentioned the latter. Prelates embezzling and lying the Boomers could handle, but Sodomy was way beyond the pay grade at that time.
Get a hold of Randy Engel's Rite of Sodomy, and be sure to read all the fine print, and then get back to me about some of those Birdbrains, which includes Ottoviani, Siri, and Bacci.
What we needed was a Catherine of Sienna, a Peter Damian, or a Pope Felix. What we got was milktoast, willing to wine and dine with Deep State of the Secular World.
Fortunately, St Sr Lucia got the word out in 1957. I will admit I was very slow on the uptake- I was familiar with Fr Fuentes all the way back in the early 1970's. But I was just a dumb collage twit absorbed in Asimov science fiction and a card carrying member of the Big Bang club.
