The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple: The Antidote to Narcissism, Elitism and Oligarchy

Today, February 2nd, is the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple.  This is the Fourth Joyful Mystery of the Rosary, and the fruit of the mystery is OBEDIENCE and the LOVE OF THE LAW.

It’s a BIG DAY.

Witnessing what we all have over the past decade, the total collapse of The Rule of Law in the private sector, the government, and now The True Church in terrifying eclipse under the occupation of the Freemasons Antichurch and Bergoglian Antipapacy, the Feast of the Presentation is especially rich with meaning.

On the 40th day after His birth, Joseph and Mary, in perfect obedience to the Levitical Law, took Jesus to the Temple to be “redeemed”:

And every firstborn of men thou shalt redeem with a price. And when thy son shall ask thee tomorrow, saying: What is this? thou shalt answer him: With a strong hand did the Lord bring us forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. For when Pharao was hardened, and would not let us go, the Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man to the firstborn of beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the womb of the male sex, and all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.
Exodus 13: 13-15

Now, stop and think about the reflexive nature of this.  Jesus Christ IS HIMSELF GOD.  Jesus IS HIMSELF the God that brought Israel out of bondage in Egypt.  Jesus Christ IS HIMSELF GOD who commanded that all “that openeth the womb of the male sex” be sacrificed and redeemed. Jesus Christ IS HIMSELF the Author of The Law because HE HIMSELF IS THE LAW.

So, why did Mary and Joseph, and ultimately Christ Himself, an infant of 40 days of age, go to the Temple and perform this action?  Furthermore, why did Mary also at the same time undergo the ritual of Purification, the rite performed on women who had just given birth?

Shouldn’t Mary, Joseph, and ultimately Christ Himself have dispensed themselves from these ritual precepts given the fact that Jesus is God Incarnate, and Mary was preserved in immaculate purity, including her virginity, and thus had absolutely no need of any rite of Purification?

Why did they comply with these Levitical precepts when they were all so clearly above them?

Because love of The Law and obedience to it is love of God Himself and obedience to Him.

Can you imagine the Blessed Virgin, striding haughtily into the Temple, St. Joseph, nose in the air, looking down his nose at the priests, and declaring, “My Son will NOT be redeemed, because He is the Son of the Living God, The Messiah, and thus The Law does not apply to Him because He is its Author!” And then the Blessed Virgin saying, “And I, being free of the stain of Original Sin, myself having been Immaculately Conceived, and having virginally conceived Him by the Holy Ghost, carried Him and miraculously bore Him, am The Mother of God, and I am perfectly pure.

All of the above statements are true, but yet we can hear how narcissistic, elitist, and devoid of TRUE HUMILITY and charity they would have been.  No, Jesus, Mary and Joseph all submitted to and obeyed The Law because to do so is to set a good example, namely by completely rejecting the spirit of elitism, narcissism and oligarchy that utterly permeates our culture. In submitting to The Law at not just the Presentation and Purification 40 days after Our Lord’s birth, but also eight days after His birth when He was circumcised, His Most Precious Blood being shed for the first time – a Proto-Passion, which, in and of itself COULD have been enough to redeem the whole world, because even ONE DROP of Our Lord’s Blood, contains in Itself an infinity of His Mercy – in these acts of GENUINE humility, Jesus, Mary and Joseph provided the most profound witness to the Rule of Law, and a total rejection of the spirit of narcissistic elitism.

What do we see today?  We see an Antipope, falsely installed after an invalid, illegal, non-canonical attempted partial abdication, literally telling people that to obey all of the Ten Commandments is harmful to the Christian life. We see the same Antipope attempting to convince every human being that THEIR CONSCIENCE, their FEELINGS are higher than God Himself, and thus trump The Law, and that man, not God, is the final arbiter of truth and judge of sin.  And, as is always the case in paradigms in which The Rule of Law is destroyed, we see the Rule of Man, that is, a paradigm in which the biggest thug wins, a paradigm in which blackmail, coercion, threats, and eventually physical violence are the only rule, the only “law”, a paradigm in which there is no right to petiton for the redress of grievances, a paradigm in which the jackboot of the biggest thug stomps the human face forever.

Think of every tin-pot dictator. Think of every bureaucrat hanger-on, slavishly defending their criminal overlords.  Think of every financial executive, stealing millions if not billions with zero consequence.  Think of every mafia and racketeering organization. Think of the faggots committing their acts of sacrilegious, desacratory sodomy inside the Vatican, and throughout the world.

THINK OF THE COVIDIC POLITICAL RELIGION IN ITS EVERY SATANIC MANIFESTATION.

All of it, ultimately, to prove to themselves that they are an elite caste, above the law, accountable only to themselves and their perverse passions.

Think of ourselves, and how many times we have convinced ourselves, in things both big and small, that “The Rules Don’t Apply To Me.”

The example set by Our Lord, Our Lady, and St. Joseph, which we celebrate today on The Feast of the Presentation, is the antidote to elitism, narcissism, and shines a spotlight on The Rule of Law and its criticality.

I hope you never pray the Fourth Joyful Mystery the same ever again.

Happy Feast of The Rule of Law!

UPDATED: Speaking of bastard sons of evil Communist tyrants…

Shortly after I posted the Justin Castreau piece, an email wafted gently over my transom.

I had never seen this possible father-son resemblance before, as I had never heard of the son, and was intrigued and did a little digging.

The emailer supplied several pictures, and I found several more. Satisfied that this might have legs, I did a little science experiment just to be sure that I wasn’t suffering from confirmation bias. I sent the photo isolation below to numerous people with the question: from first impressions, who is this? Do you recognize this person at all?

All but two respondents quickly replied the same name. I’ll let you take a look for yourself. Do you recognize this person?

..

The name that almost everyone quickly said was, “Bergoglio”.

My favorite response was from a priest who said, “Bergoglio before the ‘happy pills’ period?”

Well, let me tell you who this picture is.

This is the hard-leftist politician Rabbi Sergio Bergman of Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was born in ARSH 1962, and has been very close to Jorge Bergoglio for many, many years.

Sergio Bergman is an Argentine rabbi, politician, pharmacist, writer, and social activist. In 2015, he was appointed as Minister in Mauricio Macri’s cabinet, in the newly elevated Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development. In 2018, the Ministry was demoted back to Government Secretariat, and Bergman remained in charge as Secretary of the Environment, a position he held until 2019.

Bergman serves as rabbi of the synagogue of the Congregación Israelita Argentina. He is CEO of Judaica Foundation and president of Argentina Ciudadana Foundation, as well as executive director of Action Network and Community Initiatives for Social Enterprise.

On May 11, 2020, the World Union for Progressive Judaism announced that Rabbi Bergman would become its new President effective June 1, 2020, transitioning from Ambassador Rabbi David Saperstein who completes his year-long term.

Jorge Bergoglio entered the Jesuit novitiate in ’58 and took vows on 12 March ARSH 1960.

Sergio Bergman was born in January of ’62.

Apparently there is … speculation in Argentina about Bergoglio’s keen interest in this Rabbi Bergman.

And frankly, at this point of you-could-NOT-make-this-stuff-up-in-a-million-years Bizarro ClownWorld that we’re all living in, it would be just about right for the Antipope and likely False Prophet Forerunner of the Antichrist to have a bastard that was a “Reform Judaism” “rabbi”. Here is the Wikipedia description of Reform Judaism. Um, does any of this sound familiar?

Reform Judaism (also known as Liberal Judaism or Progressive Judaism) is a major Jewish denomination that emphasizes the evolving nature of the faith, the superiority of its ethical aspects to its ceremonial ones, and belief in a continuous revelation, which is closely intertwined with human reason and not limited to the theophany at Mount Sinai. A liberal strand of Judaism, it is characterized by lessened stress on ritual and personal observance, regarding Jewish law as non-binding and the individual Jew as autonomous, and great openness to external influences and progressive values.

The origins of Reform Judaism lie in 19th-century Germany, where Rabbi Abraham Geiger and his associates formulated its early principles. Since the 1970s, the movement has adopted a policy of inclusiveness and acceptance, inviting as many as possible to partake in its communities, rather than strict theoretical clarity. It is strongly identified with progressive political and social agendas, mainly under the traditional Jewish rubric tikkun olam, or “repairing of the world“. Tikkun olam is a central motto of Reform Judaism, and action for its sake is one of the main channels for adherents to express their affiliation.

…religion can be renewed without necessarily being dependent on past conventions.

I dunno. Like father, like son? 🤔

👆🏻Note the Compass and Square. Just sayin’.

Antipope Bergoglio has dentures, so to compare teeth you need a picture of Bergoglio in his youth. In these two pictures, note not only the teeth, but the identical left ears in clear relief (on the right as we look at them).

UPDATE: Duuuuuuuuuude…

Mailbag: The Corporal Works of Mercy – Visiting the Sick (with a bottle of Ivermectin)

Dear Ann,

I just listened to your latest podcast, #165 (please keep them coming by the way) and I had to reach out to comment. You mentioned something about how stirring it would be to know that you, Dr. Beep, Nurse Claire, et al. might have actually saved lives through your tireless “preaching” and holding fast to the truth in this time of lunacy. Well, I can tell you from experience, you absolutely have saved lives.

My wife and I got on the Ivy train as soon as I read about it on your blog last spring. We started sharing it with friends. We started preaching the near-miraculous efficacy of it to anyone who would listen. She and I both did catch the coof in early December but it was essentially nothing. We upped our dosage (I don’t think info was available yet about the better, higher doses) and we were fine.

But more to the point, my 74 year-old mother-in-law caught it… She has a compromised immune system. Based mostly on everything I had heard from you and the gang, we knew what to do. We did have to take her to the hospital because her O2 sat had dropped; but my wife went into the room with her when she was admitted and held her ground that her mom would not be left alone.

Hospital staff told my wife that she could stay but the moment she stepped out of the room she wouldn’t be allowed back in. For the next 8 days, she stayed by her mom’s side. It was tough on the kids (and me) but a corporal work of mercy for sure.

While there, I was able to sneak lots of fun things into that room – chiefly a stash of ivermectin. One of the nurses even admitted to my wife that she more or less knew what we were doing and she applauded us for it. After those 8 days, her mom was released home without oxygen.

The hospital was otherwise a gulag. Stupid people in scrubs and lab coats, glorified DMV workers with low IQs, and a host of assorted mortal-sin-addled sodomites, freaks, and idiots spending their days pushing the most repulsive and ridiculous of lies and absolutely no one questions them.

“You need the vax!” “You need Remdesevir!’ “You need Regeneron!”

No, no, and hell no! My wife being stationed at the bedside prevented all of that from going down. One doctor even told us that we would be responsible for my mother-in-law’s death if we didn’t give her Remdesevir.

Ann, I am serious when I say this, the information you have armed us with truly saved a life. Thank you! My mother-in-law is a great lady. She is largely responsible for bringing me into the TLM several years ago and she is like a second mom to me. I’m so happy to be able to take her to daily Mass again. I am truly grateful.

In Jesus and Mary,

T
