Today is the Feast of Saint Charles Borromeo. He was grumpy, and apparently was rocking a five o’clock shadow well before noon. He was a real manly-man. Among countless other awesome achievements, St. Charles went after his confessor when it became clear that the guy was a pervert, and the confessor was, as a result, convicted of “unnatural offenses”. He made many enemies – but the kind of enemies that it is good to have.
St. Charles was a toughguy who saw how incredibly messed up and wicked the world in his day was, and just rolled up his sleeves and FIXED IT. He was a man who got tremendous horsepower to the pavement. He didn’t shrug his shoulders. He didn’t roll his eyes. He just mashed the throttle and went right over the top of anyone who dared slow him down. Sigh. Yeah. We’re a fan.
He also invented Sunday School.
Oh, and he wrote an entire book about the design and construction of churches: Instructiones Fabricae et Supellectilis Ecclesiasticae. The people responsible for all of these hideously, hideously ugly churches today should be beaten mercilessly with a hardcover copy of Instructiones Fabricae et Supellectilis Ecclesiasticaeuntil they repent of their wicked, evil designs and lying proclamation of ugliness as beauty.
And even though he was widely hated by the corruptocrats and perverts, and even though he was a Grumpycat who consistently wore his frowny-face, the day he died the people took to the streets demanding that he be canonized a saint. (I’m pretty sure there is a lesson in there somewhere….)
Does the reader reside in the Papal Apartment?No. Does he include ‘Vicar of Christ’ in his C.V.?No. Is he the pope?No.
These things the reader has in common with the Argentinian apostate, Jorge Bergoglio, whose latest act of treachery against God, His Christ, His Church, His Saints and His flock – timed to correspond with the traditional (i.e. authentic) Feast of Christ the King – is “Luce”, the insidious androgynous and rainbow Rosary wearing witch ‘mascot’ for the upcoming Jubilee Year, 2025 A.D.
In modern parlance, Jubilee Years are ‘a very big deal’; they come but once every fifty (50) years and are a year of Mercy: a special year of remission of sins, debts and of universal pardon; a time when the Mercy is God is on display and prevailing, and is thus more generous and accessible.
The wicked dimensions of this diabolical mockery are covered by Miss Barnhardt (here) and the reader should familiarise himself with them. To mock God is, amongst many other things, unwise; however to denigrate, revile and blaspheme His Mercy is grotesque and ghoulish.
It is also supremely provocative. Proverbially speaking, this outrage could be the ‘final straw’ and, thus, reparation is of high order. St. Bonaventure tells us that the Deluge was a response to the prevailing crime of the age: lust, as cold water cools carnal desires; and that in the last days, when avarice is the order the day, fire from heaven will be required to burn it away.
Without wishing to wade into considerations of who was the last Supreme Pontiff (Pius XII, Ratzinger, or other; ‘Class of 1958’ vs. ‘Class of 2022’; Sede or variant), it must surely be patently clear that this man Bergolio is neither Catholic nor pope, but rather a destroyer and interloper. Simply put: it is not possible that he could validly be Christ’s Vicar. The very notion has descended into dark, sardonic mirth.
If one’s Sensus Fidelium does not tell one that this man is an enemy of God, then it is absent.
If the reader thinks otherwise – and such is immaterial to the dire and urgent need for reparation in the face of this crime – do not let him think that God rewards indifference or languid, innocuous ‘loyalty’. Let him give thought now to how he will answer, when called to Judgement, “Didst thou love me?”; “Where was thine loyalty to Me?” Let him consider too the time-specific warnings of our most Blessed Mother at La Salette (and elsewhere) and weigh the probabilities.
The following selection of reparatory prayers (reproduced in both English + Latin) is of Your correspondent’s own suggestion and, though he be far from a ‘competent authority’, they comprise the Divine Praises (the orthodox supplication in the face of blasphemy), the 3rd Sorrowful Mysteryof Rosary, The Crowning with Thorns (where God as man put upon His Head the punishment which He, as God, had given man; thereby ransoming Himself for His creatures) and an abbreviated rendering of Psalm 50, Miserére, the great Penitential Psalm. ‘Miserére’ is Latin for ‘mercy’, which may explain why, when correctly numbered (i.e. Vulgate & Douay Rheims) it is the 50th chapter of the Psalter, just as the Jubilee is the fiftieth year…
I’ve discovered something on my own and my Husband urged me to email you about it and if you would like to share what I’ve found on your website you absolutely can. It’s about this “Luce mascot,” that has come about. I thought this Luce character/mascot looked familiar with the yellow hoodie/jacket with blue hair. Then it came to me! It looks like Coraline on that Disney movie “Coraline”, and we all know Disney is evil and perverted, especially since Walt Disney was a 33rd degree freemason, a.k.a. a satanist.
Anyway, I never actually watched Coraline,(and I don’t allow my 12 yr old son to watch anything Disney) but I saw previews of the movie long ago and saw pics of some kids dressed up as Coraline for Halloween. I don’t remember from the previews (because it was so long ago) what the movie was all about, but I remembered what this Coraline character looked like. So I looked it up and was amazed at how fitting the description was for the current Times we are living in!
I will attach three pictures to this email. The first will be the pic of “Luce mascot.” The second will be a pic of Coraline, so you can compare it to the Luce mascot and see how much they look alike. And the third pic will be a screenshot of what it says the movie Coraline is about and I think that YOU will think, “Wow, this is SO fitting with what’s going on in the Catholic Church and the World and NOT really a coincidence at all.” Let me know what you think! Thank you for your time and for your podcasts and website. My Husband, Son and I just LOVE all the memes you post too🥰
In this episode, Art and Ann deconstruct the “Luce…fer” mascot of the 2025 Jubilee, including the word “mascot” itself. You’ll never look at the MLB San Diego Chicken the same way again. We then touch on politics in hopes of keeping people grounded in reality about all of the unsavory characters in the last episode before the 2024 “election.” Finally, we discuss the excellence of the three hour uninterrupted, unscripted podcast format for public figures and candidates, and even potential colleagues, friends or spouses. Would you hire someone, or marry someone, who couldn’t or wouldn’t answer questions or hold a train of thought?

Remember the reportage here years ago about the Stang? Yeah.
A Stang is a witch/warlock’s ceremonial staff. It is always forked, and always has an iron nail driven through it. Ideally it has a human form carved or integrated into it somehow. The Stang signifies several things, the first being a satan himself. Read the quote below from a witchcraft blog:
“Gary describes the Stang as primarily a symbolic tool rather than a working one, and as such it stands in for the Devil himself, holding his power and his dual nature. The Devil and the Stang is often less about strict duality and more about the transgressing of boundaries, The Devil being a spirit I often think of as non-binary and difficult to define in terms of absolutes.”
That’s mild compared to this quote from the same article:
“The witch is bound to no dogma. This makes them a threat to a Christianity established on doctrine. The witch insists everything in creation has its place. The Church insisted on two contrary substances God and The Devil. The witch strives for synthesis.” Nicholaj De Mattos Frisvold- Craft of The Untamed.

I am thinking today of that beautiful land
We shall reach when the sun goeth down
When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand
Will there be any stars in my crown?
–
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down?
When I wake with the blest in those mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown?
—
In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray
Let me watch as a winner of souls
That bright stars may be mine in that glorious day
When His praise like the sea billow rolls.
—
Oh, what joy it will be when His face I behold
Living gems at His feet to lay down
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold
Should there be any stars in my crown.
Do click through and read the whole thing, but here’s the conclusion, which is too good to not quote:
Obviously, the strategy of “let’s wait it out and hope for the best” isn’t working. The longer Catholics wait, the more difficult it will be to rectify Francis’s usurpation of the papacy. When faced with the hypothetical example of a rigged presidential election, most Catholics, I think, would realize that time is of the essence. Waiting for four years until the next election would only give the “riggers” more time to strengthen their hold on the government.
The same logic applies to the next papal election. It doesn’t make much sense to wait and see what sort of man the cardinals will elect. We already know that Francis has, in effect, pre-rigged the election by stacking the conclave with men who align with his own thinking. In purely human terms, the odds are that the next pope will be another Francis, not another John Paul II or a Pius XII.
Of course, God has his own plans, and faithful Catholics may be in for a pleasant surprise. On the other hand, it would be the height of presumption to assume that God will reward the timidity, indifference, and inaction of the current crop of Catholics with a holy and brilliant pope.
In defense of their own inactivity, some Catholics have claimed that the Church’s historical response to antipopes was to “wait it out.” But according to some critics of overly cautious Catholics, this is simply not so.
As Ann Barnhardt correctly notes, “the Church has aggressively sought to resolve Antipapacies — and there have been dozens of them — such that nearly every Antipapacy has been identified and rectified while the Antipope was yet alive and claiming the Petrine See.”
As I said, Francis is speeding up his assault on the Catholic faith. It would seem that now is the time to identify, resist, and rectify, not to wait for some hazy date in the future only to discover that Francis’s “reforms” have become irreversible and the opportunity to change course has passed.
