	T</span>he beginning of the sacred season of Lent, which the Holy Church inaugurates with the austerity of her ceremonies and vestments on this Ash Wednesday, was in ancient times marked not only by the practice of fasting and penance for all the faithful, but also by the solemn rite of expulsion of public penitents until Holy Thursday. Sinners guilty of particularly grave crimes were summoned to the Cathedral before the beginning of the Pontifical Mass to present themselves, barefoot and dressed in sackcloth, to the Bishop. In the presence of all the people, the Penitentiary would announce the sins of each penitent and impose ashes on them, saying: Memento homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris: age pænitentiam, ut habeas vitam æternam. A Canon sprinkled them with holy water and the Bishop blessed their penitential vestments – that is, their sackcloth – and all the clergy recited the seven penitential Psalms and the Litanies. Finally, after four prayers, the Bishop gave a homily, (…) – showing how Adam, because of his sin, was expelled from paradise and many curses were poured upon him; and how, following his example, they too [the penitents] must be temporarily expelled from the Church.</p>



<p>At this point, the Bishop took one of the penitents by the hand, forming a chain out of all those who were expelled from the church. And showing his own emotion, cum lacrymis, he said: (…) today you are expelled from the confines of Holy Mother Church because of your sins and wickedness, just as Adam, the first man, was expelled from paradise because of his transgression. Meanwhile, the choir sang an antiphon that recalled the words of the Book of Genesis (Gen 3:16-19). To the penitents who remained kneeling and weeping before the Cathedral portal, the Bishop urged them not to despair of the Lord’s mercy, but rather to dedicate themselves to fasting, prayer, pilgrimages, almsgiving, and good works. Finally, he invited them to return no earlier than the morning of Holy Thursday. The church doors were then closed before Mass began. (…)</p>



<p>In the contemporary world—particularly since Vatican II—those who once would have been considered public sinners are now welcomed and encouraged in their deviations, even by popes, by prelates and members of the clergy who are most unworthy, whose sins are equally public and scandalous to the faithful, who in turn are led into sin. But it is precisely this that constitutes the ultimate offense to the Divine Majesty: not so much and not only the evil committed, but rather its denial, indeed its legitimization, and at the same time the condemnation of the good that opposes it.</p>



<p>For this reason, dear faithful, the earth is still cursed today; nor could it be otherwise. The horrors and heinous crimes brought to light in recent days with the publication of Jeffrey Epstein’s files cry out to Heaven for vengeance, all the more so because of the silence surrounding them and the impunity ostentatiously granted to the guilty. Our skies are sprayed with poisons that spill over into crops and aquifers; carcinogenic substances in food; the destruction of crops and livestock for the benefit of multinational corporations’ intensive production; diseases caused by deliberately harmful and sterilizing pseudo-drugs; the imposition of “sacrifices” and “penances” for the so-called protection of our “common home”; the minute control of our every action, no longer under the gaze of God but under the eye of surveillance cameras: all these outrages, the infernal parody with which an elite, intoxicated with power and literally thirsty for human blood, seeks to replace God in legislating, in deciding what is good and what is evil, in declaring its “saints” and its “damned,” in promulgating its “rites” and its “excommunications.” This elite also has its “public penitents,” who are ostracized by the system until they convert to the infernal ideology of globalism.</p>



<p>Let us return to the Lord, dear faithful. Let us return to Him in sackcloth and ashes, and may the Church return along with us to condemn sin and encourage virtue, without pretense or hypocrisy, without compromise, without culpable indulgences that offend Divine Justice and nullify Divine Mercy. This is the meaning of the prayer the Bishop used to recite before the penitents dressed in sackcloth. (…) Lord our God, you who are not overcome by our offenses, but are appeased by penitential satisfaction, look, we beseech you, upon these your servants, who confess that they have gravely sinned against you. For it is yours to grant absolution from crimes and to grant pardon to sinners, you who have said that you prefer the sinner’s penance to his death. Grant, then, O Lord, that they may keep vigils of penance for you and, by the correction of their deeds, rejoice in receiving from you eternal joys. And so may it be.</p>

	T</span>he glories of ancient Rome, its culture, its law, its arts, its territorial and administrative organization, its ability to unite and pacify peoples in the practice of virtues – even if not yet enlightened and vivified by Grace – were destined to find their fulfillment in adherence to the Catholic Faith, prepared by Providence also in the Martyrdom of these pillars of the Church, which in the Creed we profess as Una, Sancta, Catholica et Apostolica. Belonging to that Church makes each of us, as the Supreme Poet (Dante) sings, cive di quella Roma onde Cristo è romano [a citizen of that Rome where Christ is Roman] (Purgatorio XXXII, 102).</p>



<p><a href="https://catholictimescolumbus.org/voices/why-latin/" data-type="link" data-id="https://catholictimescolumbus.org/voices/why-latin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hatred of the Latin language</a> is innate in the hearts of all the enemies of Rome: they see in it the bond of Catholics in the universe, the arsenal of orthodoxy against all the subtleties of the sectarian spirit, the most powerful weapon of the Papacy. The spirit of revolt, which induces them to entrust universal prayer to the idiom of each people, of each province, of each century, has moreover produced its fruits.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Latin language shall be preserved.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>We should ask ourselves with what wretched thoughtlessness the Council Fathers – and today’s continuators of the so-called conciliar “reform” – allowed a handful of anti-Roman heretics to carry out within the Church, and with the force of the Church’s own authority, that attack on Romanitas that four centuries earlier was at the origin of the Lutheran schism; and how illusory is it to believe that article 36 of the conciliar Constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium – Linguæ latinæ usus in Ritibus latinis servetur – The use of the Latin language shall be preserved in the Latin rites – could have been sufficient to prevent the demolition of the Latin Liturgy – when it was obvious that the first and fundamental purpose of the reform was precisely that of abandoning the Roman language in favor of the vernacular idiom.</p>



<p>Today we ought to and want to hope that the multiplication of appeals from the ecclesial body for a return to Tradition will induce Leo to abandon Bergoglian “synodality” – an evolution of the conciliar “collegiality” of Lumen Gentium – and to exercise the Papacy without adulterating its authority with contaminations of an antichristic matrix that deny the Universal Lordship of Christ in the spiritual and temporal sphere. And Christ’s mandate to Peter – Pasce oves meas, pasce agnos meos (Jn 21:17) – must once again be exercised in the guarding of the Depositum Fidei and in the faithful transmission of immutable Catholic doctrine, without yielding to the spirit of the world that Peter, at the Council of Jerusalem, had already believed he could legitimize in the name of inclusion – as we would say today – of the Jews who wanted to maintain the rites of the Old Testament.</p>

	T</span>he theory that blames humans for climate change resulting from CO2 emissions into the atmosphere is supported by a clear minority of the scientific community, which is also in a very serious and obvious conflict of interest. Its media overexposure stems from the systematic censorship of all truly independent and authoritative voices and constitutes a complete distortion of reality.</p>



<p>The entire barrage of lies and fraud that supposedly legitimizes the “<a href="https://balkangreenenergynews.com/serbia-adopts-just-energy-transition-plan-until-2030/" data-type="link" data-id="https://balkangreenenergynews.com/serbia-adopts-just-energy-transition-plan-until-2030/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">green transition</a>” is based on the goal of reducing of CO2. In reality, carbon dioxide is essential for the survival of life on the planet, and reducing it would destroy all life on Earth. And even if global warming were real, it would have no significant relationship with human activity, being primarily caused by solar activity. Finally, the solutions proposed to address the increase in carbon dioxide sound laughable, as they are being adopted by only a fraction of nations, while China and India continue to build coal-fired power plants and use energy from fossil fuels. And in addition, alternative energy production plants are much more polluting than traditional ones.</p>



<p>This theory has become part of the UN program called “Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development” and is propagated by international organizations based on neo-Malthusian theory, which considers humanity the cancer of the planet and pursues the extermination of billions of people. To make the climate emergency credible, these organizations fund associations, companies, experts, and influencers to sow panic, in an orchestrated media terrorism operation. At the same time, they force governments to censor dissenting voices, branding them as conspiracy theories or “climate denialism,” in the same way as happened a few years ago during the psycho-pandemic farce.</p>



<p>In order to achieve global population reduction, organizations such as the UN, the World Economic Forum, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Commission use enormous resources to finance and implement concrete projects that are intended to cause the impoverishment, disease, sterility, and death of billions of human beings. At the same time, they guarantee enormous profits to the multinational corporations that collaborate in this infernal plan. Wars, crime imported through immigration, pandemics, mass sterilization (through vaccines but also through gender theory and LGBTQ+ ideology), abortions, genetic mutations and tumors induced by pseudo-vaccines, the poisoning of the skies, water, and food, and electromagnetic pollution: these are the horsemen of the globalist apocalypse of the Great Reset.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>They force governments to censor dissenting voices.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>The detailed and incontrovertibly supported denunciations made by numerous scientists, philosophers, historians, intellectuals, and politicians are powerless against the media propaganda machine, funded by the taxes paid by citizens, whom none of the governments involved have consulted to ask their opinion. Not a single one of the programmatic points of the “Agenda 2030” constitutes any sort of solution to the alleged environmental emergency: these are merely false solutions to false problems, whose true aim is to decimate the population, enslave the survivors – including by imposing liberticidal measures and social control – and centralize political power in the hands of usurious high finance. This is effectively a global coup d’état which I have repeatedly denounced in my speeches and writings since 2020.</p>



<p>This panorama of widespread corruption among government officials, scientists, and the media, funded by agencies, including government agencies (<a href="https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/lifestyle/kenyan-man-indicted-in-us-over-dollar650m-usaid-funded-health-supplies-scandal/pxwtj3h" data-type="link" data-id="https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/lifestyle/kenyan-man-indicted-in-us-over-dollar650m-usaid-funded-health-supplies-scandal/pxwtj3h">such as USAID</a> and the European Commission), cannot, however, erase some inconvenient truths. (…)</p>



<p>The Mass for the Care of Creation (Missa votiva de Pachamama?) is yet another confirmation of the disturbing subservience of the Catholic Hierarchy – which is not free from conflicts of interest, just like with the business of welcoming illegal immigrants – for which it will have to answer first and foremost to Our Lord Jesus Christ, who granted Peter the power of the Holy Keys not to pass judgment on the climate – in accordance with a scientifically untenable theory, moreover – but rather to guard and transmit the Depositum Fidei, to shepherd and protect the Lord’s Flock, which today is threatened in body and soul by an elite of dangerous, psychopathic criminals bent on evil.</p>

	D</span>uring the singing of the Gospel we have just witnessed the Paschal Candle being extinguished, symbolizing the Ascension of Christ to the Father, Forty Days after the Resurrection. Some paintings represent the scene of the Ascension showing us the Apostles looking upwards, where sometimes we see the entire figure of the Lord and sometimes only His feet; in others, it is as if we saw what the Lord saw as He ascended, that is, his own feet and further down the absorbed faces of the Apostles. They are two different perspectives of the same scene, and it is precisely on this different perspective that I would like to pause with you as we meditate about the <a href="https://www.catholic.com/tract/the-ascension-of-jesus-catholic-answers-guide" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.catholic.com/tract/the-ascension-of-jesus-catholic-answers-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mystery of the Ascension</a>. (…)</p>



<p>We ought to know how to look at the Ascension from above, as the Lord saw it: the Apostles becoming smaller and smaller, their features becoming more and more indistinct, while the dazzling light of Paradise approaches above us, and the praises of the angelic Choirs become clearer; while the doors of the heavenly Jerusalem open not only for the King of kings, but also for the holy souls of the Old Law, freed from Limbo on Easter Eve. We should consider the Ascension as the necessary premise of Pentecost, and Pentecost as the indispensable vehicle of Grace that prepares us to fight, to conquer, and to deserve the palm of victory. The absence of our King and Lord gives us the opportunity to testify to Him of our fidelity: not when He conquers and triumphs over His enemies; but when everyone, even His generals, betray Him and go over to the adversary. And just as among the Jews there were those who knew how to await the return of Moses with the tablets of the Law without building reassuring idols, so – and even more so – in the Church there have been, there still are and there always will be those who keep in mind the words of the Savior: A little while and you will no longer see me; a little while and you will see me again, because I am going to the Father (Jn 16:16). A little while and you will see me again: you will not know the day or the hour, because the master will come like a thief in the night, like the Bridegroom awaited by the wise virgins. (…)</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Absence of our King and Lord gives us the opportunity to testify to Him of our Fidelity.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>Dear faithful, we know that these are difficult days: the recent events, the death of Jorge Bergoglio, the convocation of the Conclave, the election of Pope Leo come at a time when we are worn out by decades of crisis, with the last few terrible years of usurpation, heresies, scandals, and the apostasy of almost the entire Catholic Hierarchy. Added to these events is the globalist coup, the increasingly evident hostility of world rulers towards those who are ruled, and the looming establishment of the tyranny of the New World Order with its diabolical agenda. We are all tired and worn out. Tired of fighting against blatant lies passed off as truth. Tired of having to justify the obvious, when the entire system propagates the absurd. Tired of having to defend ourselves from those who instead ought help us. Tired of having to protect ourselves from doctors who want to poison us, from judges who want to imprison honest people while freeing criminals, from teachers who teach errors, from priests and bishops who spread heresy and immorality. We are not made for this: it is not up to the flock to command the shepherds, the student to teach the teacher, the patient to give lessons to the doctor. This is the reason why authority exists: so that as a vicarious expression of the sole Authority of Jesus Christ, King and Pontiff, it may govern to bring about the Good.</p>



<p>Let us therefore live every moment of our life knowing that this is the time of trial; and that the more the battle rages, the more Our Lord will multiply the Graces He grants us to fight and conquer. And if it is true that the Lord is now physically in Heaven, it is equally true that He wanted to grant His Ministers the power to make Him still present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Every tabernacle, however abandoned and neglected by the foolishness of men, brings back to this valley of tears the glory of Heaven, the adoration of the Angels and Saints, the Real Presence of the incarnate God. It is true: the flame of the Paschal Candle may be extinguished, but the flame of the red sanctuary lamp that honors the Eucharistic King remains alive and burning. May the flame of Charity that burns in each of us also shine, so that our soul may be less unworthy of becoming the dwelling place of the Most Holy Trinity. And so may it be.</p>

	T</span>he divine liturgy accompanies us through the solar year as in a mirror, in which we see the history of the redemption summarized and represented.</p>



<p>The time of Advent takes us back to the expectation of the Messiah in the ancient law; the time of Christmas celebrates His most holy Incarnation; <a href="https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/history-of-passiontide-and-holy-week-11140" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/history-of-passiontide-and-holy-week-11140" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Holy Lent and Passiontide </a>take us back to the times that preceded the Sacrifice of the Cross; the time of Easter celebrates the Resurrection and the Ascension of the Lord into heaven; the time of Pentecost retraces the earthly life of the Savior, His miracles, and His teachings; and at the end of the liturgical cycle – just as at its beginning – we are projected to the End Times, to the Universal Judgment, to the reward or condemnation of each and every person.(…)</p>



<p>Those whom we thought should defend the truth and proclaim the Gospel of Christ are now revealed as the followers of error and lies. And the authority that Our Lord, King and High Priest, has granted to our rulers – both civil and religious – has been used for the very opposite purpose of that for which He established it.</p>



<p>In the face of this global rebellion, and especially in the face of the betrayal of those who hold authority, we must return with greater conviction to clothing our souls in ashes and sackcloth, to prostrating ourselves before the Lord and repeating the cry of our fathers:</p>



<p>Flectamus iram vindicem, ploremus ante Judicem; clamemus ore supplici, dicamus omnes cernui: Parce, Domine; parce populo tuo: ne in æternum irascaris nobis. — “Let us appease the vengeful wrath, let us weep before the Judge; let us call upon Him with a supplicating voice, let us prostrate ourselves and say all together: Forgive, Lord, forgive Your people, and do not remain forever angry with us.”</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>The truth is of God; indeed, the truth is God.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>However, precisely because of the enormity of our sins and the horror of the public sins of nations and of the ecclesiastical hierarchy, our penance must be accompanied – and preceded, I would say – by the proclamation of the truth against lies. Because the truth is of God; indeed, the truth is God; and lies are the cursed mark of Satan. Let all the veils and artifices that seek to conceal sin and vice, to deny it, to give it the appearance of good and virtue, come crashing down. Let all the masks that hide heinous crimes and evil doing in a network of shameful complicities among lost souls – crimes against God and against the little ones, first of all – all fall off. Let the fictions of a rebellious world, the lies of a perverted authority, of an infernal system that denies, offends, and fights against Christ and His children all crumble.</p>



<p>Let the lies and deceptions of a hierarchy and a papacy held hostage by the enemies of Christ who are enslaved to Satan all be exposed. Let the arguments and excuses that we give all too often to justify our laziness, our spiritual inertia, and our inability to take sides and remain under the banner of our divine King all come tumbling down. Let all the pretexts that we know how to find in order to postpone our conversion and our progress in holiness all fall down.</p>



<p>This is the hour of darkness, probably. But it is a darkness that is destined to be pierced by the<a href="https://www.piercetaylorhibbs.com/articles/the-light-of-christ-inside-you" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.piercetaylorhibbs.com/articles/the-light-of-christ-inside-you"> Light of Christ</a>, before which everything will appear as it truly is, and not as we would like it to be, not as would be more convenient to indulge our laziness.</p>



<p>And the first truth to proclaim, to shout from the rooftops, is that we are sinners, that there is a certain death, an irrevocable judgment, a hell to punish the wicked, and a paradise to reward the good. And that this ultimate and indefectible truth is part of our very being is inscribed in our heart as a law of nature, is revealed in the Scriptures, and delivered by Our Lord to His Church so that She may faithfully preach it to all peoples.</p>



<p>Let us proclaim this truth without fear of contradiction, remembering the words of the Book of Ecclesiasticus: Memorare novissima tua, et in æternum non peccabis (Sir 7:40) — “Consider what awaits you, and you will never sin.” And so may it be.</p>

<span class="eltdf-dropcaps eltdf-normal" >
	B</span>y the providential will of Pope Pius XI, this last Sunday of October is dedicated to the Universal Kingship of Our Lord. The encyclical Quas Primas, promulgated on December 11, 1925, illustrates this doctrine and the reasons why, by virtue of the hypostatic union – that is, the union of divinity and humanity in the person of Jesus Christ – we must recognize Our Lord and Sovereign in the Word of God Incarnate.</p>



<p>Last Sunday’s Gospel – the 22nd after Pentecost – has in some way prepared for today’s feast, inviting us to contemplate the Kingship of Christ also in the precept: “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” (Mt 22:21). Recognizing Our Lord as the sovereign both of individuals and of societies is in fact already contained in these simple words: “Give to God what is God’s.”</p>



<p>Behind this centuries-old conspiracy against Christ, which began well before we can imagine, we know there is the subversive work of the Synagogue of Satan, of the Masonic anti-church devoted to the establishment of the kingdom of the Antichrist. Protestantism, the Rosicrucians, the Bavarian Illuminati, Freemasonry, and all the sects that have conspired since the 16th century against Catholic Europe are expressions of this all-out war against Christ and His Church.</p>



<p>The popes who reigned between the 18th and 19th centuries condemned with apostolic severity the revolutionary principles in the name of which the monarchies of the Catholic nations were overthrown. These popes saw clearly what immense ruins would follow their spread throughout the world, and warned the Christian people against accepting any compromise with the secular, liberal, materialist mentality that these errors conveyed.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Satan knows that Jesus Christ is King.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>What the pontiffs could not foresee – it was so unheard of and scandalous even to be able to hypothesize it, at that time – was that this rebellion against Christ the Lord would not only find support among subsequent popes, with all the instances of Modernism ferried into the bosom of the Catholic Church with Vatican II, but that this rebellion would extend to the whole ecclesial body, to the point of apostasy from the faith and the emancipation of the vicarious authority of the Roman pontiff from that possessed exclusively and fully by the Divine Head of the Mystical Body, King and Priest.</p>



<p>The post-conciliar popes, architects of innovations in the theorization and exercise of the papacy, have come to adapt and reinterpret the papacy in a synodal (ad intra) and ecumenical (ad extra) key, thus demonstrating their willingness to change what Our Lord established in founding His Church.</p>



<p>Satan knows that Jesus Christ is King. His sole purpose is to induce us to rebel against our sovereign, to have Him as an enemy, to deny our due and necessary submission to Him, our redeemer and Lord, in order to subjugate ourselves to the hateful slavery of the Evil One. In short, what Satan wants is to make us deny Christ the King and High Priest and instead acclaim the Antichrist as Our Lord’s blasphemous counterfeit. That is why this fury exists on the part of Satan and his servants in wanting to deny Christ His sovereign rights over the nations and also over the Church.</p>



<p>The first creature to listen to the voice of Our Lord was <a href="https://payamag.com/2023/07/11/priesthood-mass-eucharist-mary-against-satan/" data-type="link" data-id="https://payamag.com/2023/07/11/priesthood-mass-eucharist-mary-against-satan/">Mary Most Holy, Regina Crucis</a>, the mystical Throne of the divine King. Let us remember this well: wherever Christ reigns, His August Mother must also reign; because it is the will of the Son that she be the one who in her unblemished virginity humbles the impure spirit, and who in her humility crushes the proud head of the serpent.</p>



<p>May she be the Lady and Queen of every Christian and in particular of every priestly soul, so that the Mediatrix of all Graces may intercede before the throne of the Most High for the Holy Church, for all who faithfully profess the Catholic faith, and for the destiny of the world. And so may it be.</p>

	A</span>s on the Feast of the Assumption, so also on the Nativity of Mary Most Holy, we find the parallel between the Virgin Mother and Holy Church confirmed. She is Queen and Lady just as her Divine Son is King and High Priest. The liturgy of this blessed day is centered on the Mystery of the Incarnation, for which the Most Holy Trinity created ab æterno, from of old (Prov 8:23) the One who – assimilated to Divine Wisdom – would be the Ark of the Covenant, the Tower of David, the Living Tabernacle of the Most High. From the first moment of Her Conception, Our Lord consecrated the integrity of the Mother of God by preserving Her from original sin and keeping Her Ever-Virgin: quæ et Unigenitum tuum Sancti Spiritus obumbratione concepit; et Virginitatis gloria permanente, lumen æternum mundo effudit, Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum. Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, and the glory of her virginity still abiding, gave forth to the world the everlasting Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. (Preface of the Blessed Virgin Mary).</p>



<p><a href="https://www.thescottsmithblog.com/2024/07/mary-is-aqueduct-st-bernard-of.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.thescottsmithblog.com/2024/07/mary-is-aqueduct-st-bernard-of.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saint Bernard calls Mary Most Holy the Aqueduct of Grace</a>, because through her all the graces and blessings of Christ, the Divine Fountainhead, come to us. Holy Church is also a channel of Grace through the Sacraments. In Her bosom the Body of the Lord is mystically formed in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar; thanks to the Priesthood, the Sacrifice of the Mass perpetuates the presence of Emmanuel, God-with-us.</p>



<p>The cleric, with his austere robe that silently but eloquently recalls the Cross of Christ, penance, renunciation, and mortification, is and must be “outside the world.” For this reason, the world hates everything that recalls heavenly realities, the external signs of Religion, the Cross, the relics of the saints, the sacred images, and also the cassock that today you will put on forever, and which is stripped from those who, although honored with Holy Orders, continue to live in a manner that belongs to the world.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>The world hates everything that recalls heavenly realities.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>This ceremony is the first step in the itinerarium (path) towards the priesthood. In the Liturgy of the Nativity of Mary Most Holy, and in particular in the Epistle taken from the Book of Wisdom, we find a starting point for spiritual meditation: Therefore, O children, listen to me: Blessed are those who walk in my ways. Hear the teaching, be wise, and do not reject it: Blessed is the man who hears me and watches over me daily at the entrance of my house, and is attentive to the edge of my door. Whoever finds me will find life and receive salvation from the Lord (Prov 8:32-35).</p>



<p>Today the Church of Christ has been obscured and eclipsed by the heretics and corrupt who have occupied it: the Hierarchy has prostituted itself to the world and has made its maxims its own. It no longer <a href="https://www.valdostadailytimes.com/opinion/columns/recognizing-the-lordship-of-christ/article_2b9e6bed-913e-5078-bb32-c3f2486f8fd9.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.valdostadailytimes.com/opinion/columns/recognizing-the-lordship-of-christ/article_2b9e6bed-913e-5078-bb32-c3f2486f8fd9.html">recognizes the Lordship of Our Lord,</a> and proclaims along with the Sanhedrin: We have no king but Caesar (Jn 19:15). On the Throne of Peter sits, not the Vicar of Christ, but a usurper devoted to the demolition of the Church. The ostracism that the faithful and clerics suffer for their fidelity to the Lord is therefore not the voice of the Church but rather of its counterfeit. This is why false pastors fear and fight against those who denounce their betrayal.</p>



<p>Yet, despite the efficiency of the organization of the forces of evil and the disorganization of the good, Satan knows he has already lost, this is why he does everything he can to drag as many souls as possible into damnation with him, thus nullifying the Redemption. This is why he wants a world without faith, without hope, without love. This is why he wants a world without priests, without religious and nuns, without expiatory souls. And for this reason – as we see happening – he wants every vocation to be corrupted, perverted, or rendered useless. This is why Satan demands that his arrogant lie not only be tolerated, but that it be accepted as such and that the Truth be condemned. His imposture requires conscious and ostentatious adherence to error, together with the obstinate rejection of the Good. This is the only way to explain the abomination of desolation in the holy place: a man who usurps the Throne of Peter and the sacred authority of Our Lord to impose apostasy and destroy the Church.</p>



<p>Let us therefore make ourselves worthy, with the Grace of God and under the patronage of Mary Most Holy, to reach the goal indicated by the Stella matutina, the Morning Star that announces the Sun of Justice, repeating with filial trust the Marian antiphon: Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis, post hoc exilium, ostende. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. And so may it be.</p>

	T</span>he Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has informed me, with a simple email, of the initiation of an extrajudicial <a href="https://www.advocate.com/news/vatican-excommunicates-antigay-archbishop" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.advocate.com/news/vatican-excommunicates-antigay-archbishop" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">penal trial against me</a>, with the accusation of having committed the crime of schism and charging me of having denied the legitimacy of “Pope Francis,” of having broken communion “with Him,” and of having rejected the Second Vatican Councils.</p>



<p>I have been summoned to the Palace of the Holy Office on June 20, in person or represented by a canon lawyer. I assume that the sentence has already been prepared, given that it is an extrajudicial process.</p>



<p>I regard the accusations against me as an honor. I believe that the very wording of the charges confirms the theses that I have repeatedly defended in my various addresses. It is no coincidence that the accusation against me concerns the questioning of the legitimacy of Jorge Mario Bergoglio and the rejection of Vatican II: the council represents the ideological, theological, moral, and liturgical cancer of which the Bergoglian “synodal church” is the necessary metastasis.</p>



<p>It is necessary for the episcopate, the clergy, and the people of God to seriously ask themselves whether it is consistent with the profession of the Catholic faith to passively witness the systematic destruction of the Church by its leaders, just as other subversives are destroying civil society. Globalism calls for ethnic substitution: Bergoglio promotes uncontrolled immigration and calls for the integration of cultures and religions. Globalism supports LGBT ideology: Bergoglio authorizes <a href="https://apnews.com/article/vatican-lgbtq-pope-bfa5b71fa79055626e362936e739d1d8" data-type="link" data-id="https://apnews.com/article/vatican-lgbtq-pope-bfa5b71fa79055626e362936e739d1d8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the blessing of same-sex couples </a>and imposes on the faithful the acceptance of homosexualism, while covering up the scandals of his protégés and promoting them to the highest positions of responsibility. Globalism imposes the green agenda: Bergoglio worships the idol of the Pachamama, writes delirious encyclicals about the environment, supports the Agenda 2030, and attacks those who question the theory of man-made global warming.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>I regard the accusations against me as an honor.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>He goes beyond his role in matters that strictly pertain to science, but always and only in one direction: a direction that is diametrically opposed to what the Church has always taught. He has mandated the use of experimental gene serums, which caused very serious damage, death and sterility, calling them “an act of love,” in exchange for funding from pharmaceutical companies and philanthropic foundations. His total alignment with the “Davos religion” is scandalous. Wherever governments at the service of the World Economic Forum have introduced or extended abortion, promoted vice, legitimized homosexual unions or gender transition, encouraged euthanasia, and tolerated the persecution of Catholics, not a word has been spent in defense of the faith or morals that are threatened, or in support of the civil battles of so many Catholics who have been abandoned by the Vatican and the bishops. Not a word for the persecuted Catholics in China, with the complicity of the Holy See, which considers Beijing’s billions more important than the lives and freedom of thousands of Chinese who are faithful to the Roman Church.</p>



<p>In the “synodal church” presided over by Bergoglio, no schism is recognized among the German episcopate, or among the government-appointed bishops who have been consecrated in China without the mandate of Rome. Because their action is consistent with the destruction of the Church, and therefore must be concealed, minimized, tolerated, and finally encouraged.</p>



<p>In these 11 years of “pontificate” the Catholic Church has been humiliated and discredited above all because of the scandals and corruption of the leaders of the hierarchy, which have been totally ignored even as the most ruthless Vatican authoritarianism raged against faithful priests and religious, small communities of traditional nuns, and communities <a href="https://unherd.com/2024/06/will-pope-francis-kill-the-latin-mass/" data-type="link" data-id="https://unherd.com/2024/06/will-pope-francis-kill-the-latin-mass/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tied to the Latin Mass</a>.</p>



<p>In these times of apostasy, Catholics will find in pastors faithful to the mandate received from Our Lord an example and an encouragement to abide in the truth of Christ.</p>



<p>Depositum custodi, according to the apostle’s exhortation: as the time approaches when I will have to give an account to the Son of God of all my actions, I intend to persevere in the bonum certamen and not to fail in the witness of faith which is required of each one who, as bishop, has been endowed with the fullness of the priesthood and constituted successor of the apostles.</p>



<p>I invite all Catholics to pray that the Lord will come to the aid of His Church and give courage to those who are persecuted for their faith.</p>

<p>What appears today in all its evidence is the subversive plan of a global coup d’état, aimed at the decimation of the world population and the enslavement of the survivors. The pressure for the approval of the WHO Pandemic Treaty and for the health passport – accompanied by the activation of the digital wallet – demonstrate that the authors of this coup have no intention of giving up their criminal intentions, and will not do so unless they are faced with firm and determined opposition from the population and those few of its representatives who are not sold out to the World Economic Forum, by those who courageously do not fail in their duties.</p>



<p>We have seen the <a href="https://the-american-catholic.com/2019/03/25/bergolgian-heresies-false-ecumenism-new-religion/" data-type="link" data-id="https://the-american-catholic.com/2019/03/25/bergolgian-heresies-false-ecumenism-new-religion/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">false Bergoglian church</a> totally subservient to the genetic treatment agenda, a treatment that was produced using aborted fetuses. We have seen doctors and paramedics killing frail and elderly people in intensive care through the use of anesthesia. We have seen rulers, magistrates, and police forces unleash an unprecedented criminalization of those who did not allow themselves to be “marked.” We know who is behind these people, who pays them, and who blackmails them: their names are well known. These murderers will soon find themselves answering for their crimes, if not before the tribunal of the world, then certainly before God, whom they hate and whom they would like to replace, in a mad delirium of omnipotence that is an inexorable prelude to their eternal defeat. The children of darkness, the conspirators of the World Economic Forum, and the globalist cabal want to establish the kingdom of the Antichrist on earth, as an obscene counterfeit of the Kingdom of Christ Our Lord.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Our Lord said, “The truth will set you free”.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>Look at their work: only lies, deception, horror, sin, vice, violence, and monstrosity. And always for a price, because everything they do is an object of exchange, of commerce: you pay to have children, you pay to kill them, you pay to sell their organs, you pay to abuse them, you pay to impose lethal treatments, you pay to live and to die, you pay for the lies of the media and the obscenities of the internet, you pay for the simulation of love and friendship, you pay for the chimera of a digital eternity. You also pay to end up in hell, to damn your soul. While with the things of God, everything is free – it is the fruit of charity, generosity, and magnificence. (…)</p>



<p>Our Lord said, “The truth will set you free.” He who said of Himself: “I am the Way, the Truth, the Life.” It is only the truth of Christ that can free us from the chains of lies and the falsity of the enemy of mankind. Therefore, fight this battle in the awareness that your and our adversary can only be defeated with the weapons of Truth. Saint Paul exhorts us, Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Act with freedom within the bounds of what is good, and the Lord will bless your commitment, as he has always done throughout history for those who love Him and obey His commandments. If you yield on this, you will expose your flank to the Enemy, and all your effort will have been in vain. And remember the words of the Lord: “Do not be afraid, I have overcome the world.”</p>

	D</span>ear Friends,<br>These are hours of darkness and confusion, hours in which the mercenaries who infest the Lord’s Fold are unleashed against the good Shepherds – bishops, priests and religious – against the sheep and against the lambs. The mystery of iniquity is showing itself in all its arrogance, and it no longer tries to hide or conceal its infernal plans.</p>



<p>As in the times of the Passion of Our Savior, a new Sanhedrin of renegades prefers to serve the potentates of this world rather than recognize the divine kingship of Jesus Christ. We are witnessing in disbelief the vilest betrayal, made by an authority corrupt in faith and perverted in morals that usurps ecclesiastical power in order to demolish the Holy Church, <em>ut percusso pastore, et gregem disperdere valeant</em>, as Leo XIII wrote in the text of the exorcism. The shepherds have been struck so that the flock is dispersed, so that many souls are lost in eternal damnation, so that the sacrifice of the Redeemer is at least partially nullified.</p>



<p>Saint Pius X, the heroic defender of the Church against the assaults of the modernist heresy – which he called the sewer of all heresies – wrote these lines when he had not yet risen to the supreme pontificate:</p>



<p>[<a href="https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/modernism-the-heresy-of-heresies" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/modernism-the-heresy-of-heresies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Modernists</a>] want to be treated with oil, soap, and caresses. Instead we need to fight them with our fists. In a duel you don’t count or measure your blows: you hit as best as you can! War is not fought with charity: it is a fight, a duel. As if Our Lord had not been terrible, as if he had not set us an example in this too. How he treated them, the Pharisees, the sowers of error, the wolves in sheep’s clothing, the merchants: he chased them away with whips!</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-style-plain is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Charity is exercised by defending the honor of the Holy Church.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>We, too, must fight with our fists, because in war charity is exercised by defending the honor of <a href="https://www.boston-catholic-journal.com/the-salvation-of-souls-the-purpose-of-the-church.htm" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.boston-catholic-journal.com/the-salvation-of-souls-the-purpose-of-the-church.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Holy Church and the salvation of souls</a>. Spiritual fists: prayer, fasting, penance, good works, reparative sacrifices. Fists that strike against an enemy who feeds on hatred, division, desperation, and lies. We fight to remain in the one fold of Christ, from which a sect of heretics would like to expel us and you. But to continue this battle effectively we need priests, friars, monks, nuns, and – God willing! – some bishops. And if the tyrant who occupies the See of Peter ostracizes those who remain faithful to the immutable Magisterium of the Church, we must move “outside the box,” making up for the absence or vacancy of authority as best as we can.</p>



<p>This is not about building a “parallel church” following the example of the Protestants – God forbid! – but rather to make up for the apostasy of the hierarchy as best as we can in order to safeguard the Catholic faith, the Mass which is its expression, and the souls of the faithful redeemed by the blood of Christ. This is why the <em>Exsurge Domine</em> association was born, with the aim of giving spiritual and material assistance to priests and religious being persecuted by the Bergoglian fury, because without them the faithful would be deprived of the spiritual weapons that are indispensable in this epochal battle. This is why your material help, nourished and enlightened by spiritual assistance, is indispensable. Your donations can help many persecuted priests, seminarians, religious men and women, whose vocation and mission are threatened and hindered by the ecclesiastical authority.</p>



<p>And if it is true that alms giving covers a multitude of sins, how much more will this be true when alms giving is used to help persecuted priests and religious! (…)</p>
