A big smile crossed my face at the Introit at Mass today:

“Redeem me, O Lord, and have pity on me; my foot stands on level ground; in the churches I will bless the Lord.

Do me justice, O Lord! for I have walked in integrity, and in the Lord I trust without wavering.”

Yup.

Also, another lovely thought occurred to me today regarding God’s justice and power.

Do you remember how I have been screaming from the housetops that the Vatican Museums are basically a gay bar, that there are sodomite tour guides literally crawling all over the Vatican Museums like Orcs in the Mines of Moria, using the Vatican and SAINT PETER’S BASILICA as a hook-up spot for sodomy?

Well, folks, I am delighted to report (and I’m not kidding about being delighted) that there are now no filthy wretched sodomites polluting the halls of the Vatican Museums for the first time in many, many decades.

Liz Lev and her clique of priest-chasing pet faggots hardest hit.

God.

Is.

Good.

(Not currently operating as a gay bar and racketeering front.)

The comment thread over at Edward Pentin’s watershed piece that he published to his private website – perhaps risking his job with EWTN/National Catholic Register – is REALLY GOOD.

Some people are criticizing Ed for including quotes from Salza, et al.  Look folks, Ed Pentin is a JOURNALIST, not a pundit.  He isn’t arguing a position – he is REPORTING, like journalists USED to do.  I’m old enough to just barely remember the days of actual journalism.  Considering that there has been and continues to be a hyper-aggressive media and for-profit blogo$phere blackout on the entire question of Pope Benedict’s invalid resignation, Ed’s reportage is HUUUUUGE.  He has blown the lid off the fact that the question of Pope Benedict’s attempted partial resignation being invalid is now MAINSTREAMED in Rome.

Also, people are getting all snippy about the fact that Ed didn’t quote or link to me.  Folks, be VERY, VERY careful of ANYONE who demands “credit” in this situation.  If I die totally forgotten under a bridge (as mentally ill psychopathic ogresses like me are wont to do – wink), that doesn’t matter a whit, so long as this situation GETS RESOLVED.  As far as I’m concerned, Steve Skojec should receive massive credit for publicizing the question of the invalid resignation of Pope Benedict XVI.  He has spent years of grueling 80 hour work weeks on social media tirelessly calling attention to this situation.

My favorite comment in the Ed Pentin combox is this little nugget of truth from “Elmo”:

If a priest says “I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Red Firetruck” it doesn’t matter his intention, the baptism is invalid. Pope said ministerium instead of munus. INVALID.

Yup.  Imagine the hypothetical priest in the example above is suffering from the same sort of dementia that we are seeing from Joe Biden.  Let’s call him “Fr. Joe Dementia”.  His brain is mis-firing and random words replace what he is actually trying to say.  We would all KNOW what “Fr. Joe” MEANT to say in the context of the baptism.  But he didn’t say it, and therefore the baptism is 100% INVALID.

Fr. Joe Dementia might have said, “I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the… Thing” to keep the Joe Biden comparison pure.

Now, layer onto that the fact that in this situation, what Pope Benedict MEANT is also highly, highly debatable.  In fact, there is a mountain of evidence that Pope Benedict MEANT something completely different – “red firetruck”.

So we have Pope Benedict SAYING IPSO FACTO INVALID WORDS as the example of Fr. Joe Dementia above, but we ALSO have strong evidence that Pope Benedict “red firetrucked”:

The “always” is also a “for-ever” – there can no longer be a return to the private sphere. My decision to RESIGN THE ACTIVE EXERCISE OF THE MINISTRY does not revoke this. I do not return to private life, to a life of travel, meetings, receptions, conferences, and so on. I am not abandoning the cross, but remaining in a new way at the side of the crucified Lord. I no longer bear the POWER OF OFFICE FOR THE **GOVERNANCE** OF THE CHURCH, but in the service of prayer I remain, so to speak, in the enclosure of Saint Peter. Saint Benedict, whose name I bear as Pope, will be a great example for me in this. He showed us the way for a life which, whether active or passive, is completely given over to the work of God.

As of mid-February ARSH 2020, influenza had infected 26,000,000 human beings in the US since the beginning of this flu season in September ARSH 2019. I’d call that “contagious”, as flu has always been. Hence the oft-used phrase, “it’s going around.”

14,000 souls have died of the flu in the US this season as of mid-February.

Source link from, of all places, CNN here.

So, I guess it doesn’t matter THAT people die, it’s which virus they die from.

What a truly bizarre form of snobbery.

“Grandma and three other people from her assisted living community died, but it wasn’t Corona, so… no biggie. Just normal déclassé flu. Whatever.”

Folks, are we seeing the luciferian gaslighting manipulation here? Are we seeing the absolutely bizarre double standard?

Just pointing that out….

Ann-

With regard to the recent Edward Pentin piece, something stood out to me that I believe will be the next Trad/Novus Ordo Inc. failed strategy to try and cover up the obvious in order to avoid any revenue and prestige disruptions as you mention. That is, they will make satisfying their own standard of proof impossible. 

I suspect the next major Trad/Novus Ordo Inc. line of attack was contained in Roberto De Mattei’s statement in the article: 

Until then, De Mattei believes Catholics have every right to resist what they see as problems with this pontificate, but they must consider Francis “a legitimate Pope, until proven otherwise.

“To deny this fact, express doubts, clues or hypotheses are not enough,” he said. “Sure proof is needed, shared by an authoritative portion of the Catholic world. This does not seem to me to be the case, at least until today.”

Notice the sleight of hand here? He shifts the burden onto the laity to provide “sure proof” (is that beyond a reasonable doubt, preponderance of the evidence, 100% certainty, what?) that Benedict is actually the Pope and not Bergoglio and then adds on the additional requirement that an “authoritative portion” (whatever that is) of the Catholic world must agree. Is any of that in canon law? How much evidence, how much proof will these people require from the average pew sitter like myself before they will admit Benedict attempted an illegal, and invalid resignation that is void ab initio? 

Why do we have the burden of proof and not Bergoglio or Trad/Novus Ordo Inc.? Is it because John Salza says the resignation is just like an externally valid marriage, and the Church doesn’t “judge internals”? Oh wait, Canon 188 specifically makes Benedict’s “internals” relevant since it assumes there was some type of external manifestation of a resignation in the first place. Why don’t THEY voluntarily assume the burden of proof to show Benedict’s resignation passed the Canon 188 test? Answer: because they can’t prove it, and all the available evidence shows Benedict intended to split the active and contemplative components of the office and resigned in substantial error. 

Any civil lawyer will tell you (and Chris Ferrara and those others lawyers know this very well), the first and most important thing for a court to determine before deciding any issue is WHO has the burden of proof, and WHAT is that burden. It can make or break the outcome of a case. Nothing can be decided without first addressing that. Watch out for this. 

X, esq.

The Truth will set you free.

As Italy, which is and has been used for years as a “mini-America” test market, is committing literal economic suicide as we speak.

As this is being written, after “two weeks” (but it is probably considerably longer) of “infection”, there are 233 souls dead, almost all of whom were over the age of 80, and in a state of pre-existing morbidity (in bad shape).

Now, check out this Italian data, easily found by an English web search, of how many people died of influenza in Italy in the four flu seasons from ARSH 2013-ARSH 2017. Brace yourself to feel like you’re being played like a fiddle:

Italian influenza deaths by year:

2013-2014 season: 7027 dead of flu in Italy

2014-2015 season: 20,259 dead of flu in Italy

2015-2016 season: 15,801 dead of flu in Italy

2016-2017 season: 24,981 dead of flu in Italy

HERE is the source paper.

Now, bear in mind that flu season is roughly “winter”, so Dec-April.

Also, the population of Italy is 60 million. The US is 330+ million. So call it “one fifth”.

Questions: why has there not been panic and economic suicide every year due to influenza? Why is THIS different?

(Cough, Freemasonic media, government and Antichurch, cough, they’re growing impatient because they know their cashless one world gov-church bullshit jig is almost up, cough)

How much fear do I have of this, being thousands of feet from an official hospital handling it?

Well, being that I’m not an octogenarian chain smoker or already with stage-4 cancer, ZERO POINT ZERO ZERO.

Why would I be? Given the Italian statistics, the only way this is different than normal seasonal flu is that it is considerably LESS severe.

Bottom line, satan has convinced Christendom, fallen, to commit economic suicide. No actual, real plagues needed. Just gaslighting. And he’s laughing his ass off.

Satan and Diabolical Narcissists consider driving a person to suicide to be the ultimate rush, victory and proof of their elite power over others. That is exactly what is going on here on a macro level. And if you’re angry with me for pointing this out, take it to Our Lord in the Tabernacle and figure out why.

Tell a friend.

Edward Pentin has published an extensive piece on his own private website titled, “Debate Intensifies Over Benedict XVI’s Resignation and Role as Pope Emeritus.” CLICK HERE TO READ.

It is telling that EWTN (who owns the National Catholic Register) refused to publish this – as one correspondent put it – “meticulously even-handed” piece by the best and most respected English language Vaticanista working today.  Remember folks, if you think the dollar$ flying around in Trad Inc. are eyebrow-raising, remember that Novu$ Ordo Inc. is ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE bigger than Trad Inc.  Novu$ Ordo Inc. will not touch this.  I’m telling you folks, it’s all about the money.

Kudos to and prayers for Edward Pentin in having the stones to publish this anyway. He is definitely sticking his neck out.

I obviously encourage everyone to read the whole thing, but I do want to excerpt one bit from an Italian deacon whose work I was not previously familiar with.  There are now MANY Italian scholars and canonists who are speaking out with regards to the invalidity of Pope Benedict’s failed partial resignation – the English language press and FiP blogosphere is intentionally ignoring the Italian scholarship, knowing full well that English speakers are notorious for refusing to investigate anything that isn’t written or published in English. “Just ignore it. No one will ever see it.”

From Pentin’s piece:

A further study currently circulating in Rome is that by Italian deacon and scientist Liberato De Caro, a researcher at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche-Istituto di Cristallografia in Bari.

Noting that Benedict has preferred to leave his status “unregulated,” De Caro argues that the title “Pope Emeritus” is, in itself, of concern as it “involves a sort of split between the primatial office of the Pope and that of the Bishop of Rome” — a division which, because those aspects of the papacy are “united in the one person of the Roman Pontiff,” presents “inevitable legal-theological implications.”

[…]

To imply the papal office is by its very nature divisible, and that it us up to “human willingness to choose which faculties to renounce and which to maintain, is in blatant violation of divine law,” De Caro writes in an essay of “brief reflections” on the “emeritus papacy.” He concludes, therefore, that the Benedict’s resignation is invalid as it is “contrary to divine law itself.”

And now we wait for Trad Inc. to character assassinate Edward Pentin, and to impugn the credentials of Dr. De Caro, while their own position is based on the thoroughly debunked writings of two civil lawyers, one of which is a former 32nd degree Freemason.

Speaking of which, I particularly enjoyed this paragraph too:

Other senior Vatican sources have said that between Benedict’s announcement of his resignation on Feb. 11, 2013, and his departure from the apostolic palace three weeks later, a number of cardinals pressed Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, then Vatican Secretary of State, to clarify the canonical status of an abdicated pope as they saw it could be “potentially problematic,” but “nothing was done.”

You couldn’t make this up in a million years.

Fast and pray, folks!! It’s all happening!!

Fr. Anthony Hannon states in his very kind and gentle demeanor what so many people have also noticed – there is no real counter-argumentation to the case that Pope Benedict’s resignation was not valid as I have laid it out both on video and in writing in this space over the past 3.5 years.

There is, however, a very noticeable and conspicuous tendency towards ad hominem attacks against my person, which, as Father Hannon rightly points out, at this point is actually serving to bolster my credibility.  Ad hominem might have worked years ago, but now people are seeing me being called such names as “online Catholic cancer”, or, perhaps even more tellingly when people make the obvious dodge by saying, “Barnhardt’s arguments are so ridiculous that they merit no consideration” and instantly recognize it for what it is: a total retreat.

The Prayer Over the People at the end of Mass today is one of my all-time favorites. SO VIRILE!

Prayer over the people

Let us pray.

Bow your heads to God.

O Lord, we beseech You, shed light upon our minds by the brightness of Your glory, so that we may see what we must do and have strength to do what is right.

Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

R. Amen.

O Lord, show us what ta do, then help us git ‘er dun.
