Chris, I'm very much afraid that humanly speaking there is no remedy for our situation. Things have sunk so low since Vatican II that I think it is going to take world-wide chastisement for Heaven to get everyone's attention. War is a punishment for sin so I won't be at all surprised if we do wind up in a really big one. We are threatened by solar flares frequently. Our Lady said the Rosary, First Saturdays, penance and turning away from sin. I don't see much of it in the wide world, sad to say. Those of us who do these things may not be sufficient to turn away our just punishment. But we may mitigate it. Meanwhile, we just have to keep doing what we are supposed to do and leave everything in the hands of God and His Most Holy Mother. I pray especially for those without the Faith who will suffer and die that they may be given the graces even at the last moment.
Although I focus on the rot to expose it and bring attention to it, there is also much good in the Church that goes on with little fanfare. As long as we are faithful that is what is most important. Thank you for reading!
First of all, Chris, you are a great writer & a deep thinker. But I find it hard to point to much of anything good in the V2 church other than people on their knees praying the Rosary.
Perhaps from time to time we could focus on the good news a bit more. It gives people hope and shows them practical ways to fight the rot and destruction around us. At least the wolves in sheep's clothing are saying the quiet part out loud now, and more people are starting to wake up. Younger people are replacing those still attached to the outdated culture of the 1960s and 70s. Years ago, I used to get shut down every time I even mildly criticized the pope, but nowadays, people will usually listen and at least say, "You have a point."
What is "The Church" exactly, and where is all this "Good" that you see? What I have seen over the last four weeks is Ostrich Syndrome writ large. We still are- appearances notwithstanding- on the brink of war and economic collapse, and people continue on their merry little way as though actions have no consequences and life is all one big party.
After reading your article people should be in stark terror. If they are not, they have no clue regarding salvation history.
Whatever your eschatology be, it is abundantly clear that the "West" is about to join Assyria, Babylon, Greece, Rome, and the Carolingians in the Land of the Unremembered dead.
There is no need or good in being in "stark terror." How many times did Jesus say, "Fear not"? And when revealing end times persecution, wars, famine, natural disasters & destruction, He says, "...look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near." - Lk 21:28
Also, for those with faith, all suffering should be seen as a gift to be cherished & offered in union with the sufferings of Christ & Our Blessed Mother, to atone for our sins, bring the grace of conversion to others, & in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary, per the Fatima Message. Besides, suffering ends with immeasurably less than a blink of an eye compared to eternity, for which our hearts should be focused.
First off I was being a bit hyperbolic regarding "stark terror". For those of us living for Eternity, what we see is actually a consolation. "But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is at hand."
Meanwhile, part of the Mission of the Church has always been to Comfort the Afflicted and to Afflict the Comfortable.
Much worse than 'wars and rumours of war', "Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send forth a famine into the land: not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord." Amos 8:11
That passage could refer to the lack of supernatural grace in the Vatican II church.
Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824, whose visions inspired much of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ) had seen in her visions a “counterfeit church of darkness” occupying Rome at some time in the future, in an era when she also saw the priest facing the people when saying Mass.
Padre Pio "around 1960," as Fr Gabriel Amorth, later chief exorcist of Rome, recalls, told him, "You know, Gabriele? It is Satan who has been introduced into the bosom of the Church and within a very short time will come to rule a false Church." (Interview with Fr Amorth by José María Zavala, in The Best Kept Secret of Fatima)
Cardinal Mario Ciappi, who read the Third Secret of Fatima, said, "In the Third Secret it is revealed, among other things, that the Great Apostasy in the Church will begin at the top." (letter to Prof. Baumgartner, 1995). What is "the top" but the papacy?
Much more on this on my X page, @rosaryknight, including pinned tweet replies.
Not half of priests are homosexuals. Most are not. But they are afraid to speak out against the Jesuit mafia for fear of reprisal from the Vatican or even their bishops, who are also cowards. We need to support those who have the courage to tell the truth, especially those who have been cancelled, like Bishop Strickland. Our voices matter. We can give them the courage they need.
"Christ did not suffer and die so that we might accept ourselves. He died to redeem us from our sins."
100%. The true self is not something pre-existing within us to be discovered by self-excavation, but the self that God intends for us to become through cooperation with His grace. It is not discovered but cultivated. Many modern evils come from the error of individualism, which places the individual at the center of his own universe and tells him to "find himself" (how often have you heard that slogan?). It teaches people to spend their twenties partying and getting drunk instead of discerning their vocations, establishing their futures, and contributing to society. Why? "Because I need to figure out who I am first!" It leads to the cringe-worthy self-help culture we live in and the tyrannical reign of so-called "therapy" which turns people into egocentric narcissists because they're constantly "affirmed" and told that every feeling they have is "valid." You do not need to figure out who you are. You cultivate who you are by following the will of God and practicing virtue.
Only a generation ago, the word "narcissist" was almost universally applied hyperbolically or rhetorically in the vernacular. Today, the word most commonly refers to discernable, pathological behavior, which is now epidemic.
The Wrath of God is upon us. We have been given our Last Reprieve, and there will be no others. The Category Seven Geopolitical Storm this Wolf has seen on the horizon for half a century is now blowing ashore. 2020 saw the first rain bands. Since then things have only become progressively worse.
Trad Inc is a United Front. Has everybody noticed that when the Father Arnaud Rostand Affair broke last year, after a flurry of damage control, it was quickly buried? No protestations from any quarter- not from the FSSP, the CMRI, the SSPV, the ICK, the Conservative Bogus Ordo, or even Satanic Pederast Cardinals, and least of all any priests of the SSPX.
And that should tell you in no uncertain terms that the words of St Paul apply to them: "For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ. Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things." When the Apocalypse comes- and it is coming in the form of war, debt collapse, and infrastructure collapse- they will not be there for you. They will abandon you to the Pit Vipers.
The sins that cry for vengeance- willful murder, sodomy, oppression of the poor, and depriving the worker of the fruits of his labors (Hello IRS and Gov't at every level)- now parade in broad daylight. And the Blood of a half million children of Gaza, those dying from the Quaccines, a Mountain of Abortions, the peoples of Iraq- along with those of a dozen or so other countries the West has bombed into the Stone Age since the "Gulf War" of 1990- has no expiration date, and cries to Heaven for vengeance.
God has been patient. He sent His Most Holy Mother to Fatima 100 years ago to warn us. The "Deep Church", presided over by Twin Satanic Piuses, tried to bury her. Vatican II and the Post-Conciliar Popes mocked her.
Sixty years ago, a few good priests, among them Fr Paul Wickens and Fr James Wathan, warned people to RUN, not walk, from the Bogus Ordo. They warned people to embrace Tradition no matter what the cost. They were not perfect, but what they suggested was a good start. Some also wanted to quit The New Sodom (aka Modern Society) altogether. "Set yourself free, Trash the TV" used to be a bumper sticker sold in SSPX chapels. (Now you can see these priests blathering on their Dumbphones, and even back in the day this Wolf knew priests that were hopeless Phone Blabs- wasting time on that infernal instrument, causing scandals, wreaking families, spreading malicious gossip, and acting like they were holy for doing so. Rather than uniting hearts and minds, they were responsible for a million divisions over rather petty and irrelevant issues like "Feeneyism" and Sedevacantism.
I don't give a Tinkers Damn whether you think we have not had a pope since Cardinal Siri was allegedly elected at the 1958 Conclave, or whether you are a Benevacantist, or think Pope Provost is happily reigning. Not one sordid fact is changed, and that is the bottom line.
The time has come to get very serious about your soul and the souls of those under your care. At this point, if you and your family are not saying Fifteen Decades a day, something is very, VERY Wrong. If you have time for SPortsball, Movies, and other fleeting diversions, but no time to pray, be very afraid. If you have meat on the table every night, you are not doing penance. Not even close. And those of you who are able should be spending long hours in prayer, at every hour of the day.
Quit the Bogus Ordo Church. Quit its fake and ghey "devotions", like the Divine Mercy. And if your priest is not mentioning Our Lady of Fatima and the coming chastisement at every opportunity, be very afraid for that priest. He has lost his way, no matter how pious he might appear to be.
Our Lady of Fatima is part of Salvation History. Our Lady of Fatima is not optional, not a "Private Revelation", and not irrelevant. And Our Lady of Fatima should not be conflated with other questionable "apparitions" such as Akita, Garabandal, or a host of scandalous and obviously false ones, such as Medjugorje. Our Lady of Fatima should be seen in the light of Scripture and the Fathers and Doctors of the Church.
As for those of you in the military, police, medical, insurance, financial, education, and computer rackets- at this point it should be abundantly clear you are working for a crime syndicate. The same applies to you who are working at "religious houses" which have been infected by Sodomites and sellouts. At every turn, their priority is not upsetting the "establishment". This Wolf was there- so he knows. He was booted out decades ago because he was pleading for reform and penance. He is now just one small voice crying in a wilderness unlike any the world has seen since the Days of Noah.
At the risk of endulging in a bit of fantasy, I recently found myself wondering if it might not be relatively easy to solve or even eliminate our problem of the clergy who are blasphemous and even atheist/freemason, predatory sexual deviates, God knows what else, everything but truly holy men and women of God. And we should make no mistake: Our unholy clergy and and even religious -- whose "name is LEGION" -- are the single greatest threat to Catholicism.
What would happen if ALL Catholic clergy and ALL religious (all the way up to the Cardinals) would be required to live as follows, or else face immediate dismissal and loss of health insurance, accrued retirement pensions etc.:
-- Mandatory residential arrangements EVERYWHERE would be very spartan dormitory like lodging, just like the most austere monasteries. No exceptions and permanent -- from the day of ordination to the day of death.
-- Physical labor or some form of daily workload for all capable of it, assigned appropriately on the basis of skills, talents, etc.
-- Common mealtimes in dining halls serving plain, highly nutritious but inexpensive food
-- Clergy permitted to wear only inexpensive but correct and traditional garments, issued to them free of charge, as in prison or military boot camp, replaced as needed.
-- Thus making the decadent, shamefully expensive silks, mitres etc. a thing of the past.
-- Very modest stipends. There should be no such thing as generous salaries.
-- I seem to recall Vatican City has a jail of some kind. It should be expanded if needed to accomodate criminal defrocked clergy serving long sentences for the catalogue of crimes that have been perpetrated by clergy through the ages. Life sentences without parole for embezzlement, blackmail, espionage, rape, sexual abuse, active sexually perverse "lifestyles".
Much more in this vein can be imagined. Were such a fantasy to become reality, the total number of clergy would presumably shrink dramatically overnight. Conversely, we might well imagine a great increase in truly devout young men and women choosing to become priests and nuns. Hey, a guy's allowed to dream, ain't he?
🎯💯 Many parish priests in our relatively wealthy corner of South Jersey live like resident golf pros at posh country clubs. The rest live comfortable upper middle class existences in well kept rectories. As a result they behave as hirelings rather than shepherds.

"God is giving two last remedies to the world: the Holy Rosary and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. And, being the last remedies...there will be no others."

Totally over the target.
We should be do penance on our dunghill, in sackcloth and ashes, reciting as many rosaries as we can.
Perhaps from time to time we could focus on the good news a bit more. It gives people hope and shows them practical ways to fight the rot and destruction around us. At least the wolves in sheep's clothing are saying the quiet part out loud now, and more people are starting to wake up.

This piece, as we have now come to expect from you, is very well written and researched. Thank you.
I screamed when they profaned the Blessed Trinity. I will do an act of penance! The Sacred Heart bleeds.
How do you get a message like this across in a Church where over half the priests are homosexuals? I continue to grieve in pessimism.
Not half of priests are homosexuals. Most are not. But they are afraid to speak out against the Jesuit mafia for fear of reprisal from the Vatican or even their bishops, who are also cowards.

That’s basically just an opinion. There’s data to the contrary.

I'd say tears are more appropriate, especially since many young people are influenced by such degenerates.
