Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  Amen.

PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

“The King and People of Nineveh Repenting”.
Love means saying that you are sorry – and meaning it – over and over and over again.

Dear post-Christian Iniquitous Gutter Republic and all of the Post-Christian West:
You aren’t repenting, and thus God cannot extend His mercy to you.  To not be sorry, and to not do penance – real penance, not just giving up chocolate – and thus to do nothing to stop the sins and offenses against God, indicates that you A.) don’t believe that that your sins are sins, and/or B.) if you do actually realize they are sins, you simply don’t care that you are offending God.  Either way, you, by your ongoing failure to repent and do anything to stop the unprecedented offenses against God, are telling Him in no uncertain terms that His Mercy is neither required or desired.  And so shall it be.

You tolerate this. You pay for this every month when the Comcast bill comes.

You not only put up with this, you are paying for this to be inculcated into innocent children by your government and media.

And then, of course, there is this. Times sixty million and counting.

Now therefore saith the Lord: Be converted to Me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and in mourning. And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy, and ready to repent of the evil. Who knoweth but He will return, and forgive, and leave a blessing behind Him, sacrifice and libation to the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly,

Gather together the people, sanctify the church, assemble the ancients, gather together the little ones, and them that suck at the breasts: let the Bridegroom go forth from his bed, and the bride out of her bride chamber. Between the porch and the altar the priests the Lord’ s ministers shall weep, and shall say: Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: and give not thy inheritance to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them. Why should they say among the nations: Where is their God?
Joel 2: 12-17

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  Amen.

HERE IS THE OVERNIGHT HEADLINE FROM ITALY.

Okay, first.  As we have discussed before – THEY’RE ALL BLACKMAILABLE, every single one. And Antipope Bergoglio is clearly no exception.  His intimate, intimate connections to child-sex traffickers and boy-prostitute pimps in Buenos Aires are well-known in Argentina.

Second, as I have explained in this space, on those rare occasions when the sodomite code of omertá (that is, mafia silence) breaks down, woo-boy, look out.  It makes a piraña feeding frenzy look positively genteel by comparison. There is nothing in this world so nasty and spiteful as a faggot. Remember, Diabolical Narcissists are the human analogue to demons, and the demons hate everyone and everything with an unquenchable spite, and all sex perverts are, by definition, Diabolical Narcissists to one degree or another.

So Antipope Bergoglio on his recent trip to South America lyingly declared that no one had ever come forward with any accusations against his faggot boy-raping buddy, Bishop Barros, and that there was “no evidence” of any sex abuse against Barros, who Antipope Bergoglio elevated to bishop in ARSH 2015, and that anyone who says anything different is commiting “calumny”.

Well, well.  It has been leaked today that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) not only did a full investigation of Barros, but found the accusations so credible as to recommend that Barros be removed.  Not only did Antipope Bergoglio disregard the CDF’s findings, he immediately elevated Barros to bishop, causing a massive uproar in Chile, where Barros’ crimes of sodom were well known.

Now we know why the head of the CDF, Muller, and the three priests who worked in the CDF were fired by Bergoglio with no stated cause – it likely had nothing to do with doctrine.  It was all about this Barros sex abuse investigation.

And now we know how truly despicable the Maltese toady, Scicluna is.  He was sent to Chile to “investigate” after demonstrating his loyalty to Antipope Bergoglio in the “implementation of Amoris Laetitia”, happily overturning the entire moral edifice of the Church, and declaring that all Catholics owed loyalty to the PERSON OF JORGE BERGOGLIO, not ANY ONE or THING in the past.

I’ll write more later today, but for the love of God and His Holy Church, PLEASE remember that Pope Benedict XVI Ratzinger is the one and only living Pope and has been all along.  If Bergoglio is forced to “resign” and the full truth is not acknowledged and another conclave is called, that conclave will also be invalid, because the See is not vacant.  So, any conclave called with Pope Benedict still alive will be a faux-conclave, and the man elected will be another Antipope.  And I think almost everyone agrees that the current Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin, is the man in charge.  Parolin is just like Bergoglio, except he is far, far more intelligent, and ONLY 63 years old.

Please remember the Matthew 17: 20 Initiative, now more than ever.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  Amen.

For, indeed, although the socialists, stealing the very Gospel itself with a view to deceive more easily the unwary, have been accustomed to distort it so as to suit their own purposes, nevertheless so great is the difference between their depraved teachings and the most pure doctrine of Christ that none greater could exist: “for what participation hath justice with injustice or what fellowship hath light with darkness?”

Here is just the introduction of the Encyclical by Pope Leo XIII on socialism.  I highly recommend reading the whole thing.  Papal documents before the middle of the 20th century and the infiltration of The Church were brief, straightforward, even blunt, and easy to understand.  Remember, clarity is of the Holy Ghost.  Nebulousness, ambiguity, confusion, chaos and yes, logorrhea (there’s a six dollar word for you – as in: someone needs to invent the equivalent of Pepto Bismol for logorrhea) is of the devil.

Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII promulgated on 28 December 1878.

QUOD APOSTOLICI MUNERIS (On Socialism)

To the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops of the Catholic World in Grace and Communion with the Apostolic See.

At the very beginning of Our pontificate, as the nature of Our apostolic office demanded, we hastened to point out in an encyclical letter addressed to you, venerable brethren, the deadly plague that is creeping into the very fibers of human society and leading it on to the verge of destruction; at the same time We pointed out also the most effectual remedies by which society might be restored and might escape from the very serious dangers which threaten it. But the evils which We then deplored have so rapidly increased that We are again compelled to address you, as though we heard the voice of the prophet ringing in Our ears: “Cry, cease not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet.”1 You understand, venerable brethren, that We speak of that sect of men who, under various and almost barbarous names, are called socialists, communists, or nihilists, and who, spread over all the world, and bound together by the closest ties in a wicked confederacy, no longer seek the shelter of secret meetings, but, openly and boldly marching forth in the light of day, strive to bring to a head what they have long been planning—the overthrow of all civil society whatsoever.

Surely these are they who, as the sacred Scriptures testify, “Defile the flesh, despise dominion and blaspheme majesty.”2 They leave nothing untouched or whole which by both human and divine laws has been wisely decreed for the health and beauty of life. They refuse obedience to the higher powers, to whom, according to the admonition of the Apostle, every soul ought to be subject, and who derive the right of governing from God; and they proclaim the absolute equality of all men in rights and duties. They debase the natural union of man and woman, which is held sacred even among barbarous peoples; and its bond, by which the family is chiefly held together, they weaken, or even deliver up to lust. Lured, in fine, by the greed of present goods, which is “the root of all evils which some coveting have erred from the faith,” they assail the right of property sanctioned by natural law; and by a scheme of horrible wickedness, while they seem desirous of caring for the needs and satisfying the desires of all men, they strive to seize and hold in common whatever has been acquired either by title of lawful inheritance, or by labor of brain and hands, or by thrift in one’s mode of life.

READ THE REST HERE.  IT GETS EVEN BETTER.

From the DailyMail.  Not exactly the most respectable paper, but I find it interesting that the mainstream media is now publishing pieces about Antipope Bergoglio ogling scantily clad boys in hotpants.  And, as always, there is Georg Ganswein. I’m telling you, that guy is no good. No good, and up to his eyebrows in all of this dumpster fire of a hot mess.

Step right up! The Pope (sic) looks very amused as he welcomes circus performers including acrobat in barely-there outfit

• Pope Francis (sic) overjoyed after scantily-clad circus artist performed during his weekly audience
• The young man, dressed in white hotpants and a cloth across his chest, later knelt before the Pope (sic)
• Pope Francis (sic) has turned circus shows in Pope VI hall in the Vatican into somewhat of a tradition 

Run, little boy. Run far, far away from the very bad men….

Question: What sort of man consciously surrounds himself with and actively protects sex perverts?

Answer: A sex pervert.

Would you ever in a million years allow a man that you knew to be a sodomite, much less a frequenter of boy prostitutes to touch you like this? Would you ever in a million years gaze affectionately at a publicly known and notorious boy rapist like this?

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  Amen.

Remember, when Our Lord says, “I make all things new,” He is talking about you. Yes, YOU. Specifically and personally.

Consider: the anguish of heart experienced by Jesus at the sight of Mary.

He beholds her sorrowing, weeping, overwhelmed with the bitterest grief, and when the eyes of the Mother and of the Son meet, how deep a wound is inflicted on the tender Heart of Jesus! Jesus loves Mary as His Mother. Jesus, the most loving of Sons, entertains the most indescribable feelings of affection for Mary, the most amiable of mothers. How great, then, and how bitter must be His grief at beholding this beloved Mother so deeply afflicted and anguish-stricken on His account? Oh, hard indeed must that heart be which does not compassionate Jesus in this new suffering!
-From Day 21 of “Meditations from the School of Jesus Crucified”
by Fr. Ignatius of the Side of Jesus, C.P.

The clip above from Mel Gibson’s “Passion of The Christ” is one of the two most moving in the film – the other being the raising of The Cross.  Mel Gibson is a seriously, seriously troubled man, and needs our prayers, particularly because he knows what The Church teaches, being a weird kind of lapsed sedevacantist (that kind of doesn’t make sense – but you know what I’m saying).  But he really did a great job with The Passion of The Christ.

As Lent rapidly approaches, folks are always looking for something to do for Lent aside from the various and sundry fasts.  I have a suggestion!  A book has been re-compiled and re-published of 31 meditations of Our Lord’s Passion written by a Passionist priest, Fr. Ignatius of the Side of Jesus (ARSH 1801-1844).  In addition to a fast or fasts during Lent, one should also begin and continue a good habit for permanent continuance, for example, praying the Rosary every day if one isn’t already, etc.  Well, this little book is designed to be used in a continuous way, a continual 31 day cycle of meditating on Our Lord’s Passion.  Might I suggest this as an excellent new habit to begin in this Lententide?

HERE IS A LINK TO PURCHASE “MEDITATIONS FROM THE SCHOOL OF JESUS CRUCIFIED”. It is only $12.99.

*Finally, just to front-run any inquiries, yes, “to compassionate” is a verb, obviously meaning to feel compassion for, to pity, to feel sorry for. He compassionated… She is compassionating….
