“But there’s nothing we can dooooooo….”

SPEAK.

FOR.

YOUR.

SELF.

The Communion Verse for Ash Wednesday is:

He who shall meditate day and night on the law of the Lord shall yield his fruit in due season.

And here’s another.

Archbishop Jan Pawel Lenga of Kazakhstan has publicly declared that Benedict is Pope, and that he commemorates Pope Benedict in the Canon of the Mass.

+Lenga is 69 years old and came up under Soviet oppression in Latvia and Lithuania. The man knows what tyranny is, and knows what kind of suffering tyrants impose on those who stand against them.

Look for +Lenga to be ruthlessly attacked, vilified and slandered by Trad Inc. in 3–2–1…

As I have been saying for quite some time, if a Cardinal would issue the following statement, there would be people crawling out of the woodwork in support. Right now, pretty much everyone knows what the situation is, but are waiting for leadership in acknowledging what is obvious.

Sample Cardinalatial press statement:

“Significant canonical irregularities have been identified with regards to Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation as proffered in February of 2013. Pending further investigation, a state of emergency suspense is hereby declared.”

For those of you who will be praying Psalm 118 with me this Lent, may I point out this particularly striking section, verses 126-130:

It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law. Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz. Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them. The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones.

Folks, there’s more to this, including the blocking of an autopsy of Fr. Gruner’s body, and the fact that Fr. Gruner died intestate and had six figures in bullion stacked in his home, as just one part of his sizable estate.

This thing is DIRTY. $uper, $uper dirty.

Here is PETER CHOJNOWSKI’s post, confirming. Excerpt:

I can confirm that this kind of back room dealing and drama was going on between those involved with the Fatima Center and Catholic Family News. The main focus of the attack was Fr. Paul Kramer AND the current Vice President of the Canadian Fatima Center, Andrew Cesanek. Apparently, the Novus Ordo clique of John Salza, Robert Siscoe, Chris Ferrara, and Michael Matt had to wait until the death of John Vennari to chop a whole slew of us from the Fatima Center because we did not fit into the Ralliement “Rally to Rome” agenda (i.e., fit in nicely into one of the wings of the Modernist Novus Ordo church and treat Francis as if he were simply a wandering idiot who was being maliciously manipulated to say and do all the things that he was saying and doing, not to mention daring to question the legitimacy of such a man laying claim to the Chair of Peter).

Psalm 118 is one of the longest Psalms at 176 verses. The ENTIRE psalm is a proclamation of love for THE LAW.

Read Psalm 118 and then tell me, with a straight face, how the Law doesn’t matter, and how the College of Cardinals can totally upend and override the law. Tell me, even more so, how the law simply does not apply to the Pope, how Christ’s Vicar on earth images Christ by NOT observing the law, even though Christ submitted Himself to the law of Circumcision and the Blessed Virgin submitted herself to the ritual of Purification.

Here’s a fun exercise: read the entirety of Psalm 118 and at EVERY mention of the Law/Commandments, replace it with, “the consensus of the College of Cardinals, who, Trad Inc. have assured me on a daily basis for years, subscribe to ‘A DIFFERENT RELIGION.'”

The absurdity will QUICKLY become obvious.

I give you, in full, Psalm 118.

Beati immaculati. Of the excellence of virtue consisting in the love and observance of the commandments of God. Alleluia.

[1] ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. [2] Blessed are they who search his testimonies: that seek him with their whole heart. [3] For they that work iniquity, have not walked in his ways. [4]Thou hast commanded thy commandments to be kept most diligently. [5] O! that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications. 

[2] “His testimonies”: The commandments of God are called his testimonies, because they testify his holy will unto us. Note here, that in almost every verse of this psalm (which in number are 176) the word and law of God, and the love and observance of it, is perpetually inculcated, under a variety of denominations, all signifying the same thing.

[6] Then shall I not be confounded, when I shall look into all thy commandments. [7] I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned the judgments of thy justice. [8] I will keep thy justifications: O! do not thou utterly forsake me. [9] BETH. By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words. [10] With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments. 

[11] Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee. [12] Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy justifications. [13] With my lips I have pronounced all the judgments of thy mouth. [14] I have been delighted in the way of thy testimonies, as in all riches. [15] I will meditate on thy commandments: and I will consider thy ways. 

[16] I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words. [17] GIMEL. Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me: and I shall keep thy words. [18] Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law. [19] I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me. [20] My soul hath coveted to long for thy justifications, at all times. 

[21] Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments. [22] Remove from me reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies. [23] For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications. [24]For thy testimonies are my meditation: and thy justifications my counsel. [25] DALETH. My soul hath cleaved to the pavement: quicken thou me according to thy word. 

[26] I have declared my ways, and thou hast heard me: teach me thy justifications. [27] Make me to understand the way of thy justifications: and I shall be exercised in thy wondrous works. [28] My soul hath slumbered through heaviness: strengthen thou me in thy words. [29] Remove from me the way of iniquity: and out of thy law have mercy on me. [30] I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments I have not forgotten. 

[31] I have stuck to thy testimonies, O Lord: put me not to shame. [32] I have run the way of thy commandments, when thou didst enlarge my heart. [33] HE. Set before me for a law the way of thy justifications, O Lord: and I will always seek after it. [34] Give me understanding, and I will search thy law; and I will keep it with my whole heart. [35] Lead me into the path of thy commandments; for this same I have desired. 

[36] Incline my heart into thy testimonies and not to covetousness. [37] Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way. [38] Establish thy word to thy servant, in thy fear. [39] Turn away my reproach, which I have apprehended: for thy judgments are delightful. [40] Behold I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy justice. 

[41] VAU. Let thy mercy also come upon me, O Lord: thy salvation according to thy word. [42] So shall I answer them that reproach me in any thing; that I have trusted in thy words. [43] And take not thou the word of truth utterly out of my mouth: for in thy words have I hoped exceedingly. [44] So shall I always keep thy law, for ever and ever. [45] And I walked at large: because I have sought after thy commandments. 

[46] And I spoke of thy testimonies before kings: and I was not ashamed. [47] I meditated also on thy commandments, which I loved. [48] And I lifted up my hands to thy commandments, which I loved: and I was exercised in thy justifications. [49] ZAIN. Be thou mindful of thy word to thy servant, in which thou hast given me hope. [50] This hath comforted me in my humiliation: because thy word hath enlivened me. 

[51] The proud did iniquitously altogether: but I declined not from thy law. [52] I remembered, O Lord, thy judgments of old: and I was comforted. [53] A fainting hath taken hold of me, because of the wicked that forsake thy law. [54] Thy justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my pilgrimage. [55] In the night I have remembered thy name, O Lord: and have kept thy law. 

[56] This happened to me: because I sought after thy justifications. [57] HETH. O Lord, my portion, I have said, I would keep the law. [58] I entreated thy face with all my heart: have mercy on me according to thy word. [59] I have thought on my ways: and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. [60] I am ready, and am not troubled: that I may keep thy commandments. 

[61] The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: but I have not forgotten thy law. [62] I rose at midnight to give praise to thee; for the judgments of thy justification. [63] I am a partaker with all them that fear thee, and that keep thy commandments. [64] The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy justifications. [65] TETH. Thou hast done well with thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word. 

[66] Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed thy commandments. [67] Before I was humbled I offended; therefore have I kept thy word. [68]Thou art good; and in thy goodness teach me thy justifications. [69] The iniquity of the proud hath been multiplied over me: but I will seek thy commandments with my whole heart. [70] Their heart is curdled like milk: but I have meditated on thy law. 

[71] It is good for me that thou hast humbled me, that I may learn thy justifications. [72] The law of thy mouth is good to me, above thousands of gold and silver. [73] JOD. Thy hands have made me and formed me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments. [74]They that fear thee shall see me, and shall be glad: because I have greatly hoped in thy words. [75] I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me. 

[76] O! let thy mercy be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. [77] Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my meditation. [78]Let the proud be ashamed, because they have done unjustly towards me: but I will be employed in thy commandments. [79] Let them that fear thee turn to me and they that know thy testimonies. [80] Let my heart be undefiled in thy justifications, that I may not be confounded. 

[81] CAPH. My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: and in thy word I have very much hoped. [82] My eyes have failed for thy word, saying: When wilt thou comfort me? [83] For I am become like a bottle in the frost: I have not forgotten thy justifications. [84] How many are the days of thy servant: when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me? [85] The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law. 

[86] All thy statutes are truth: they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me. [87] They had almost made an end of me upon earth: but I have not forsaken thy commandments. [88] Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth. [89]LAMED. For ever, O Lord, thy word standeth firm in heaven. [90] Thy truth unto all generations: thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth. 

[91] By thy ordinance the day goeth on: for all things serve thee. [92] Unless thy law had been my meditation, I had then perhaps perished in my abjection. [93] Thy justifications I will never forget: for by them thou hast given me life. [94] I am thine, save thou me: for I have sought thy justifications. [95] The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I have understood thy testimonies. 

[96] I have seen an end to all persecution: thy commandment is exceeding broad. [97] MEM. O how have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day. [98] Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me. [99] I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation. [100] I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments. 

[101] I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words. [102] I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law. [103] How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth. [104] By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity. [105] NUN. Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths. 

[106] I have sworn and am determined to keep the judgments of thy justice. [107] I have been humbled, O Lord, exceedingly: quicken thou me according to thy word. [108] The free offerings of my mouth make acceptable, O Lord: and teach me thy judgments. [109]My soul is continually in my hands: and I have not forgotten thy law. [110] Sinners have laid a snare for me: but I have not erred from thy precepts. 

[111] I have purchased thy testimonies for an inheritance for ever: because they are a joy to my heart. [112] I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, for the reward. [113] SAMECH. I have hated the unjust: and have loved thy law. [114] Thou art my helper and my protector: and in thy word I have greatly hoped. [115] Depart from me, ye malignant: and I will search the commandments of my God. 

[116] Uphold me according to thy word, and I shall live: and let me not be confounded in my expectation. [117]Help me, and I shall be saved: and I will meditate always on thy justifications. [118] Thou hast despised all them that fall off from thy judgments; for their thought is unjust. [119] I have accounted all the sinners of the earth prevaricators: therefore have I loved thy testimonies. [120]Pierce thou my flesh with thy fear: for I am afraid of thy judgments. 

[121] AIN. I have done judgment and justice: give me not up to them that slander me. [122] Uphold thy servant unto good: let not the proud calumniate me. [123] My eyes have fainted after thy salvation: and for the word of thy justice. [124] Deal with thy servant according to thy mercy: and teach me thy justifications. [125] I am thy servant: give me understanding that I may know thy testimonies. 

[126] It is time, O Lord, to do: they have dissipated thy law. [127] Therefore have I loved thy commandments above gold and the topaz. [128] Therefore was I directed to all thy commandments: I have hated all wicked ways. [129] PHE. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore my soul hath sought them. [130] The declaration of thy words giveth light: and giveth understanding to little ones. 

[131] I opened my mouth and panted: because I longed for thy commandments. [132] Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me, according to the judgment of them that love thy name. [133] Direct my steps according to thy word: and let no iniquity have dominion over me. [134]Redeem me from the calumnies of men: that I may keep thy commandments. [135] Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: and teach me thy justifications. 

[136] My eyes have sent forth springs of water: because they have not kept thy law. [137] SADE. Thou art just, O Lord: and thy judgment is right. [138] Thou hast commanded justice thy testimonies: and thy truth exceedingly. [139] My zeal hath made me pine away: because my enemies forgot thy words. [140] Thy word is exceedingly refined: and thy servant hath loved it. 

[141] I am very young and despised; but I forgot not thy justifications. [142] Thy justice is justice for ever: and thy law is the truth. [143] Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation. [144] Thy testimonies are justice for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live. [145] COPH. I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: I will seek thy justifications. 

[146] I cried unto thee, save me: that I may keep thy commandments. [147] I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: because in thy words I very much hoped. [148] My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: that I might meditate on thy words. [149] Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: and quicken me according to thy mercy. [150] They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; but they are gone far off from the law. 

[151] Thou art near, O Lord: and all thy ways are truth. [152] I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: that thou hast founded them for ever. [153]RES. See my humiliation and deliver me: for I have not forgotten the law. [154] Judge my judgment and redeem me: quicken thou me for thy word’s sake. [155] Salvation is far from sinners; because they have not sought thy justifications. 

[156] Many, O Lord, are thy mercies: quicken me according to thy judgment. [157] Many are they that persecute me, and afflict me; but I have not declined from thy testimonies. [158] I beheld the transgressors, and I pined away; because they kept not thy word. [159] Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; quicken me thou in thy mercy. [160] The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever. 

[161] SIN. Princes have persecuted me without cause: and my heart hath been in awe of thy words. [162] I will rejoice at thy words, as one that hath found great spoil. [163] I have hated and abhorred iniquity; but I have loved thy law. [164] Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, for the judgments of thy justice. [165] Much peace have they that love thy law, and to them there is no stumbling block. 

[166] I looked to thy salvation, O Lord: and I loved thy commandments. [167] My soul hath kept thy testimonies: and hath loved them exceedingly. [168] I have kept thy commandments and thy testimonies: because all my ways are in thy sight. [169] TAU. Let my supplication, O Lord, come near in thy sight: give me understanding according to thy word. [170] Let my request come in before thee; deliver thou me according to thy word. 

[171] My lips shall utter a hymn, when thou shalt teach me thy justifications. [172] My tongue shall pronounce thy word: because all thy commandments are justice. [173]Let thy hand be with me to save me; for I have chosen thy precepts. [174] I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my meditation. [175] My soul shall live and shall praise thee: and thy judgments shall help me. 

[176] I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: seek thy servant, because I have not forgotten thy commandments.

“If there is one characteristic that is common to the leadership of the Church since the Second Vatican Council is disregard for law, all law, divine law and canon law. Men who would be architects of the Church of the Future ignore the law of God and the law of His Church. That is why some cling to the outmoded concept of ‘universal acceptance’ of a man who obtained the Chair of Peter through the manipulations of many who by their immoral lives reveal their contempt for law, all law, including Divine Law.”

-Bishop René Henry Gracida

Canon 359 makes it forcefully clear that the College of Cardinals have absolutely zero ability or capacity to call a valid, legitimate, legal conclave while the Petrine See is occupied, no matter what, and no matter the circumstances. If they try to call a conclave while the See is occupied, no matter how much it might look like a conclave, and even if the College of Cardinals goes along with this error unanimously, it is still totally impossible for them to ever call a valid, REAL conclave so long as the See is occupied. It is ontologically impossible, per Canon 359.

So if, as happened seven years ago, an illegal, invalid, illegitimate, NULL “conclave” is called, what that actually means is that there was no conclave at all. I think perhaps people are having a hard time with the logic, specifically the Law of Non-contradiction. A null, invalid UNREAL conclave can’t both be and not be. Something can’t be both NULL and EXTANT.

Since Pope Benedict’s partial attempted resignation was canonically invalid, it was NULL, and thus Pope Benedict, as is visible to the entire world, is the one and only living Pope. Therefore, Canon 359 stands like a mighty bulwark defending the Papacy and The Church from… well, from EXACTLY what we are living through today – an Antipapacy wrought by enemies of Jesus Christ and His Holy Church.

In order for “Universal Peaceful Acceptance” to apply, we FIRST have to have something to apply it to: namely, a legal, licit, valid conclave. That is, a conclave that is real and actually exists in reality, not a NULL SET, conceived in malice, error and lawlessness.

Remember folks, ERROR HAS NO RIGHTS.

ONLY THE REAL COUNTS.

There was no legally valid conclave seven years ago, which means by logical definition that there was NO CONCLAVE AT ALL. Invalid means non-existent. It looked like a conclave, but it wasn’t a conclave. What happened in March of ARSH 2013 was a sucking maw of error and criminality. Universal Peaceful Acceptance does not apply to sucking maws of error and criminality, and thus sure as hell doesn’t sanate it, or bring into being something which cannot possibly happen – a valid conclave while the See is occupied. The College of Cardinals has zero ability to remove the Papacy from a man. Only Christ Himself can do that, and when and if Christ does it is laid out in CANON LAW.

Therefore, there was absolutely nothing in March of ARSH 2013 for anyone to “Universally peacefully accept.”

What ARE they teaching in law schools these days? Not logic, that much is clear. Thank God I just have a bachelor’s in animal husbandry and can still understand that in order for something to be “accepted”, it has to actually EXIST and have HAPPENED first – that only the Real matters, that only the Real counts.

I hope this helps.

Pray for Pope Benedict, the one and only living Pope whether he likes it or not, the Papacy, and Holy Mother Church.

Don’t panic folks. Influenza is and always has been a killer, most especially of the elderly. Every time you see an obituary of someone over 70 dying of “pneumonia”, that’s probably influenza-caused. Two years ago, after a bad flu season, 80,000 people had died of flu in the U.S. – that was 219 fatalities per day, every day, for a year. Imagine how many non-lethal cases there were. Millions. Easily.

Every one of us has had, probably within the past decade, an influenza that killed tens of thousands of people at the same time. I had a strain of flu when I was seventeen that laid me out such that I literally could not speak. I got it from my grandmother, who was hospitalized with it for a week. I should have been hospitalized, but it was hospitalization or college, so… yeah. I went ahead and drank Gatorade at home and saved the five figures.

Why is it that people getting sick, and some people even dying from this one type of influenza is the end of the world, but people contracting and dying of the other kinds of influenza is no biggie? We all talk about “flu season” and flu “going around”. Why is this different?

And can I just say as an aside, if you freely choose to get on a giant boat with FIVE THOUSAND other people in close quarters for ten days, why would you expect to NOT contract whatever colds, flus, and whatever other mildly contagious bugs are on that boat? I cannot for the life of me understand “cruises”. Ick.

Why the difference? Hmmmm?

Just keep perspective. Millions of cases of flu per year with tens of thousands of fatalities. Every year.

I had a face-to-face conversation yesterday with a person who had an audience with Pope Benedict XVI in Rome less than two weeks ago.

Pope Benedict is completely mentally lucid and sharp, and speaks and moves between multiple languages (that my contact eyewitnessed) with complete facility.

Pope Benedict, like almost all people over the age of 90, is thin. Almost no one weighs more at age 92 than at age 78.

+Gänswein was NOT present.

So, all claims that Pope Benedict is either senile or suffering from dementia are 100% incorrect.

I was shown a picture of the Holy Father taken by my contact, and it looked very much like the picture below. This picture is NOT from my contact, it is just very similar.

Pray for Pope Benedict, the one and only living Pope, the Papacy, and Holy Mother Church.
