Memorial Day makes me sadder every year.

At this point, I really don’t know what the Chinese are waiting for.

Language warning here, folks.

I’m sure her court martial for insubordination and conduct unbecoming has already been scheduled for the 34th of Never.

Remember my axiom: the person who is actually in charge is the person who cannot be fired or disciplined.

I’ve seen more than enough of these pinched-lipped smirks in men to be … triggered. Nahmsayin?

This evil POS gave the order to “stand down”.

On a totally unrelated note, have you guys noticed how many sex perverts there are in the FBI? And how the FBI clearly and undeniably protects and cultivates sex perverts?

And because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold.

Et quoniam abundavit iniquitas, refrigescet caritas multorum.

Matthew 24: 12

I never thought I would see armed Texans standing around while a gunman was killing children in a schoolhouse

Something has gone very, very wrong

On a totally unrelated topic, have you guys noticed how many sex perverts there are in the FBI? And in Federal “law enforcement” in general? It’s weird.

Nice lip gloss. $5000 if it’s a penny. 👆🏻

Anyway, the EOTech holographic sight alone is $800 or so, plus installation.

The question IS NOT “how did he get guns?” He bought them.

The question is, WHERE DID HE GET THE MONEY?

…because I suspect interest in homeschooling among Latino parents in the former U.S. is going to surge. If children already speak Spanish, they should learn Spanish grammar and literature in addition to English in their homeschooling environments.

Are there homeschooling curricula for Bilingual kids?

If not, SOMEONE SHOULD JUMP ALL OVER THAT, because people are going to be asking for it.

The Ascension, Master of the Heisterbacher Altar with Stefan Lochner, ARSH 1440, Bamberg, Staatsgalerie

Today is the Feast of the Ascension, 40 days after Easter.  I love the images of the Ascension in which only Our Lord’s toes are shown as He zooms up to Heaven.  Some images show Our Lord’s footprints remaining on the Mount of Olives, as does the image above.  I also love how the stunned awe of the Apostles is captured in their faces in this altarpiece, especially the Apostle in green on the left.

There is an excellent and exhaustive blog post dedicated to Toes and Footprints HERE, which I recommend.

The Ascension is the Second Glorious Mystery of the Rosary, and the fruit of this mystery is HOPE. In these dark days, we need all the hope we can muster. And then some.

Remember the Toes!

Happy Feast!

You HAVE read J. Michael Miller’s ARSH 1979 dissertation, “The Divine Right of the Papacy in Recent Ecumenical Theology” of course, HAVEN’T YOU?  It is a Rosetta Stone-esque synthesis of the massive Teutonic Theological Academy’s writings in the mid-20th century on the “need” to “fundamentally transform” the irrelevant, illegitimate and expired Monarchical model of the Papacy by essentially dissolving the Petrine Office into a collegial, synodal Petrine Ministry or Function.  Why?  To appease the Lutherans (and Anglicans to a lesser degree) of course! And to conform the Papacy to the new, modern, democratized world!

And also, if we’re going to be perfectly blunt, because the Freemasons need the Papacy destroyed in order to bring their “one world religion” and one world government, together referred to as the “New World Order”, to fruition.  The number one target of the Freemasons since their formation in London in ARSH 1717 has been the Papacy.  All wars and revolutions instigated by Freemasonry over the past 300 years have had as a key objective the elimination of monarchy from the face of the earth, precisely as a stepping stone to the REAL GOAL of eliminating the Papacy. American Revolution. French Revolution. Italian Revolution. World War I.  Etc.

Perhaps it would help to define some terms.  So, some definitions, just for those who might not have actually read or watched anything I have presented on the topic of the Bergoglian Antipapacy, but are reading this:

THE PAPACY IS IRREVERSIBLE:  This means that the Papacy can not be ABOLISHED.  In reading the Miller dissertation, and then the rest of the Teutonic Academic writings of the late 20th century, one sees the argumentation of the far-left, with Hans Kung and Johannes Neumann at Tubingen in the 1960s (contemporaneously with Ratzinger) at the forefront, that the Papacy could and should be ABOLISHED ENTIRELY, that the Papacy is “reversible”.  The total abolition (reversal) of the Papacy is what the question of Irreversibilty addresses.  It has NOTHING to do with Papal resignations. Relative “moderates” such as Walter Kasper and Karl Rahner argued that total abolition would be too aggressive a play, and that the Papacy should rather be “demythologized” by being gradually essentially dissolved from an Office into a broad collegial synodal ministry, which is essentially the Lutheran model.  This is referred to as the Hypothesis of Dissolution.

THE PAPACY IS IMMUTABLE:  This means that the Papacy cannot be changed from the Monarchical form established by Jesus Christ Himself.  The Teutonic Theological Academy of the late 20th century from Walter Kasper to Karl Rahner to Joseph Ratzinger broadly agreed that the Papacy was mutable, that is, CHANGEABLE, and should be changed to “update” it and make it “relevant to a modern, democratized world” and to appease schismatics.  This error of “demythologization” is the soil from which Pope Benedict XVI Ratzinger’s Substantial Error of February ARSH 2013 grew, and is how it came to pass that he proffered an attempted PARTIAL resignation with the intention of “fundamentally transforming the Petrine Office into a collegial, synodal, shared ministry consisting of an active member and a passive, contemplative member”, which thus rendered the attempt invalid by the law itself per Canon 188, thus resulting in the See never being vacated.  Thus, per Canon 332.2 which states that the College of Cardinals have NO AUTHORITY with regards to Papal Resignations, the only determiner of validity being Canon Law itself, a completely invalid, non-canonical, UNREAL, faux-conclave was what what was convened in March of ARSH 2013, and spewed forth from its deepest bowels Antipope Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

Petrine OFFICE:  The Petrine Office (munus) is a state of BEING.  Joseph Ratzinger IS the Pope.  George Washington WAS the first President of the United States.  When Queen Elizabeth dies, Price Charles WILL BE the King of England.  In order to resign an OFFICE, one must resign BEING the Officeholder.  One cannot resign an Office by declaring that one will no longer exercise a specific activity that derives from that Office.  One cannot resign the Presidency by declaring that one will no longer exercise the duties of Commander in Chief, but will continue to come to the White House every day, be called “Mr. President”, deliver the State of the Union address, and issue Presidential pardons.

Petrine MINISTRY: The Petrine Ministry (ministerium) is a collection of ACTIVITIES that are derivative of the Petrine Office.  The exercise of the Petrine Ministry (sometimes called “Petrine FUNCTION” by the Teutonic Theological Academy) is NOT required in order to hold the Petrine Office.  We know this from logic, because a man who is stricken with illness (as most men are at the end of life), in a coma (as Pope JPII was in the hours after he was shot), or imprisoned (as numerous Popes have been) and are thus totally incapable of carrying out the MINISTERIAL ACTIVITIES of the Papacy, such as teaching, legislating, adjudicating and presiding, DO NOT LOSE THEIR OFFICE.  It is impossible – IMPOSSIBLE – to argue honestly that “Office” and “Ministry” are synonymous, MOST ESPECIALLY IN THE LEGAL SENSE, because the two words belong to two completely different categories: BEING (office), and DOING (ministry).  This is why Canon 332.2 explicitly states that a Papal resignation MUST resign the MUNUS, which is at its root simply a recapitulation of the Natural Law (aka COMMON SENSE). Saying, “I’m not going to answer the phone anymore, I’ll stand aside so someone else can do that, but I’ll still be here…” is NOT resigning. In the case of the Papacy, no valid resignation, NO VALID CONCLAVE POSSIBLE. Period.

I hope this helps.

Longtime readers of this space know, and most agree, that “Old Roman” chant with that SUBLIME drone underneath is one of my favorite things, and should be revived. Immediately. We have the ability. Talk about “reform”.

Many people say that it sounds… almost muslim, except it is consonant (good), not dissonant (hellish). Musloid screeching is hellishly dissonant. For a reason. What people then soon realize is that the musloids STOLE and then PERVERTED true pious chant into their satanic dissonant screeching from the Old Roman chant they heard first in South-Central and South-West Europe.

Here is the Orbis Factor troped Kyrie.

And HERE is one of the more edifying things I’ve seen recently. This is just hours old… So heavenly….

NonVeni Mark hit one out of the park answering common questions about Pope Benedict’s substantial error. It’s so good I’m cross-posting it in full.

I’m reminded after reading this of the so-called “Siri Thesis”, in which some sedevacantists today hold that Cardinal Giuseppe Siri was elected and became Pope in ARSH 1958 at the conclave following the death of Pope Pius XII, but was forced out by Freemasons, and thus ++Siri was the “hidden Pope” until his death in ARSH 1989.  The problem with this is obvious: If ++Siri were the Pope “in pectore” and he never said one word to anyone, including before or immediately after his death through a last testament, that would make ++Siri a moral monster, subjecting the Church to FOUR Antipopes (John XXIII, Paul VI, JPI, JPII). This is madness, and the smearing of the character of a very holy man. Just think how selfish, cowardly and effeminate ++Siri would have had to have been to commit such an act of violence against Holy Mother Church and the Papacy.

In the same vein, trying to delude oneself into thinking that Pope Benedict is playing some monstrous game of 15-D underwater chess crossed with Pink Slip Chicken at the proverbial quarry, is not only wrong, but assumes a moral monstrosity on the part of Pope Benedict that would be right up there with Judas Iscariot.

Substantial Error on Pope Benedict’s part is by far the most charitable motive, and the most clearly visible. Coercion, which may well be in play as we all suspect, would still require a cowardice and a fear of martyrdom on Pope Benedict’s part, which may or may not be true. “Pray for me that I not flee for fear of the wolves.”

Here is Mark’s piece, in full. Pay special attention to the point about the heresy of GNOSTICISM, that is, the notion that salvation requires some sort of secret knowledge or code which only a self-proclaimed “elite” have access to.  No. Our Lord doesn’t play those sorts of morally revolting games. Put another way, Jesus Christ isn’t a jerk. EVERY PERSON is loved by Him infinitely, and He wills the salvation of EVERY human being. “Secret Codes” with regards to His One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, outside of which THERE IS NO SALVATION, is internally contradictory. The Church cannot be both VISIBLE as the synthesis of her four marks (One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic), and simultaneously INVISIBLE, requiring a secret code, held by an imagined “elite” to see. The Church is always HIGHLY VISIBLE, including at her earthly head, perhaps even most especially when she is in ECLIPSE. Eclipses are terrifyingly visible.

I’ll conclude with a comment left by longtime reader and fellow devotee to Our Lady under her title of “Virgin of Revelation“, Debbie:

Thank you Mark. This makes much more sense to me, as I too wanted Pope Benedict to be playing “15 dimensional chess”. It seemed to me to be the kinder and more charitable position. But in reality it is not….it’s deceptive as you point out. It is GOD who will use BXVI’s substantial error to play 15 dimensional chess.
