“The writers of the Church tell us that in the latter days the city of Rome will probably become apostate from the Church and Vicar of Jesus Christ; and that Rome will again be punished, for he will depart from it; and the judgment of God will fall on the place from which he once reigned over the nations of the world. For what is it that makes Rome sacred, but the presence of the Vicar of Jesus Christ? What has it that should be dear in the sight of God, save only the presence of the Vicar of His Son ? Let the Church of Christ depart from Rome, and Rome will be no more in the eyes of God than Jerusalem of old. Jerusalem, the Holy City, chosen by God, was cast down and consumed by fire, because it crucified the Lord of Glory; and the city of Rome, which has been the seat of the Vicar of Jesus Christ for eighteen hundred years, if it become apostate, like Jerusalem of old, will suffer a like condemnation. And, therefore, the writers of the Church tell us that the city of Rome has no prerogative except only that the Vicar of Christ is there ; and if it become unfaithful, the same judgments which fell on Jerusalem, hallowed though it was by the presence of the Son of God, of the Master, and not the disciple only, shall fall likewise upon Rome.

The apostasy of the city of Rome from the Vicar of Christ, and its destruction by Antichrist, may be thoughts so new to many Catholics, that I think it well to recite the text of theologians in the greatest repute. First, Malvenda, who writes expressly on the subject, states as the opinion of Ribera, Gaspar Melus, Viegas, Suarez, Bellarmine, and Bosius, that Rome shall apostatise from the faith, drive away the Vicar of Christ, and return to its ancient paganism.* Malvenda’s words are: “But Rome itself in the last times of the world will return to its ancient idolatry, power, and imperial greatness. It will cast out its Pontiff, altogether apostatise from the Christian faith, terribly persecute the Church, shed the blood of martyrs more cruelly than ever, and will recover its former state of abundant wealth, or even greater than it had under its first rulers.”

Henry Edward Cardinal Manning, “The Present Crisis of the Holy See”, ARSH 1861, pg 87-88

Rome shall apostatise from the faith [check!], drive away the Vicar of Christ [check!], and return to its ancient paganism [check!].

Cardinal Manning nailed it. In a sane world, it will be Cardinal Manning, not John-Henry Newman who is actually canonized by a valid Pope.

The agents, bots and algorithms are busy today, folks!

EVERYTHING IS FAKE AND GAY.

I have no better way of knowing if a man is for God than if he likes to say the Hail Mary and the Rosary.

-Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort

Truer words never spoken. Run, don’t walk, RUN from anyone who declares that they hate the Rosary. That’s an infiltrator and/or enemy of Jesus Christ and His Holy Church EVERY TIME.

“While the world changes, the Cross stands firm.”
-St. Bruno of Cologne

God does not change.  His law does not change. Objective moral norms do not change. Sodomy is a sin that cries out to heaven for God’s vengeance.  Every human being is born with this etched onto his heart – this is the Natural Law. Sodomy has always been a sin, is a sin now, and will always be a sin. Wretches like James Martin, now-dead Antipope Jorge Bergoglio, Tucho Fernandez, Antipope Robert “FtR” PERVost, and all the rest must acknowledge this before death, repent of their own lives of horrific sin, and of the scandal and murder of souls that they are and will be responsible for.

The man who causes scandal is a murderer. The man who allows himself to be scandalized commits suicide.

Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things {sodomy}, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.

Romans 1: 22-32

Vision of Saint Bruno. Sebastiano Ricci, ARSH 1705

Guess the saint:

This saint joined a Crusade to Egypt in the hopes of PROSELYTIZING as many musloids as he could before being killed.  This saint was not killed, but was instead received into the court of a sultan.  Our saint then offered to engage in a trial by fire – literal fire – with the sultan’s musloid “scholars”.  Our saint offered to enter into a fire pit and if he emerged unscathed, the musloid scholars would then have to concede that the CATHOLIC GOD (the word “catholic” means “universal”, so of course God is Catholic, and of course His Church is Catholic) and not the phoney musloid god (our saint, like any intelligent person, knows that the thing called “allah” is a non-existent pagan-Bedouin moon deity concocted by the inventors of the musloid political system, inspired by satan himself) is the One, True God.  Naturally, knowing that their non-existent deity could not duplicate such a miracle, and not wanting to be burned to a crisp, the musloids declined the challenge – BUT the sultan granted our saint permission to PROSELYTIZE and win souls for Christ in his territory WHILE THIS VERY SULTAN WAS FIGHTING CRUSADERS.

Who was this saint who knew that not only was PROSELYTIZING not “solemn nonsense”, but was utterly essential and demanded by Our Lord – a direct corollary to the two Great Commandments, to love God and to love our neighbor?

Yep.  It was St. Francis of Assisi.

Giotto’s fresco depicting St. Francis’ Trial by Fire. The musloids are on the left, slinking away. Apparently this was all a terrible mistake on St. Francis’ part. He should have merely “encountered” the musloids in a spirit of “dialogue” and “human fraternity”, and listened to their lies and then declared that they should all engage in good works and “meet each other there”. Because, you know, there isn’t a “Catholic God”, and the god the musloids believe in is the same as the Triune Godhead, or something. And God Himself being Goodness Itself, and good and evil being whatever the individual “conceives” them as being, “God” is whoever or whatever the individual says He, She or It is. Thank “god” we had Smart Antipope Fwancis and now his successor Antipope “FtR” PERVost today to correct all of the errors of Stupid Francis of Assisi.

For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
Quoniam angelis suis mandavit de te, ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis.

In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
In manibus portabunt te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
-Psalm 90: 11-12

I strongly suspect that we will all be mightily embarrassed when we are shown just how much our guardian angels have done for us, how many times they have saved our skins, how much they love us, and how little we acknowledged them. Make sure you acknowledge your guardian angel today, most especially.

“Sigamber” is a pejorative term akin to “barbarian”, referencing the Sicambrian race from which Clovis, King of the Franks, descended.

Clovis, king of all northern Gaul (France), was himself yet a pagan, though not unfriendly to the Church. He had married St. Clotildis, daughter of the Christian king of Burgundians, Chilperic, and she made repeated attempts to convert her husband. In 496, the Alemanni crossed the Rhine and the Franks marched out to drive them back. One account says that St. Clotildis had said to Clovis in taking leave, “My lord, to be victorious invoke the God of the Christians. If you call on Him with confidence, nothing can resist you”; and that the wary Clovis had promised that he would be a Christian if he were victorious. The battle was going badly against him when the king, either reminded of these words or moved by desperation, shouted to the heavens, “O Christ, Whom Clotildis invokes as Son of the Living God, I implore Thy help! I have called upon my gods, and they have no power. I therefore call on Thee. I believe in Thee! Deliver me from my enemies and I will be Baptized in Thy name!” The Franks rallied and turned the tide of battle; the Alemanni were overcome.

Queen St. Clotildis was not trusting to any enthusiasm of victory, and sent for St. Remigius, telling him to touch the heart of the king while he was well disposed. When Clovis saw her he cried out, “Clovis has vanquished the Alemanni and you have triumphed over Clovis. What you have so much at heart is done.” The queen answered, “To the God of hosts is the glory of both these triumphs due.” Clovis suggested that perhaps the people would not be willing to forsake their gods, but said he would speak to them according to the bishop’s instructions. He assembled the chiefs and warriors, but they prevented his speaking, and cried out, “We abjure mortal gods, and are ready to follow the immortal God whom Remigius preaches.” St. Remigius and St. Vedast therefore instructed and prepared them for Baptism. To strike the senses of barbarous people and impress their minds, Queen Clotildis took care that the streets from the palace to the church should be adorned with hangings, and that the church and baptistery should be lighted with a great number of candles and scented with incense. The catechumens marched in procession, carrying crosses, and singing the litany; St. Remigius conducted the king by the hand, followed by the queen and the people. At the font the bishop is said to have addressed Clovis in words that are memorable, if not actually pronounced: “Bow your gentle neck, Sigamber; adore what you have burned, burn what you have adored.” (Mitis depone colla, Sigamber; adora quod incendisti, incende quod adorasti.)” Words which may be emphatically addressed to every penitent, to express the change of heart and conduct that is required of him.

St. Remigius afterwards Baptized the king’s two sisters and three thousand men of his army, as well as women and children, with the help of the other bishops and priests present.

St. Remy, pray for us!

In the 6th century, Gregory of Tours reports that when Clovis I was baptised by Saint Remigius in 496 this bishop called Clovis a Sigamber, while referring to past barbarity:^[30]

Do you LIKE the Bible?

Thank St. Jerome (died 30 September ARSH 420). He was fluent in… everything, so he was tasked with doing a definitive Latin translation of everything in preparation for setting the Canon of Scripture. Hence, we have to this day St. Jerome’s translation which synthesized perfectly the Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic original texts. I use St. Jerome’s translation, which is the official version of The Church, called the “Vulgate”, translated into modern English, which is called the “Douay-Rheims”.

Www.DRBO.org

St. Jerome was known for not being… cuddly. Hence, I always think of him as Grumpycat.

Now, be inspired by St. Jerome’s grumpy wisdom. Be attentive!

The Church was founded upon Peter: although elsewhere the same is attributed to all the Apostles, and they all receive the keys of the kingdom of heaven, the strength of the Church depends upon them all alike, yet one among the twelve is chosen so that when a head has been appointed, there may be no occasion for schism.

It is our part to seek,
His to grant what we ask;
ours to make a beginning,
His to bring it to completion;
ours to offer what we can,
His to finish what we cannot.

The Scriptures are shallow enough for a babe to come and drink without fear of drowning and deep enough for theologians to swim in without ever reaching the bottom.

A false interpretation of Scripture causes that the gospel of the Lord becomes the gospel of man, or, which is worse, of the devil.

Instead of speaking saintly words we must act them.

Martyrdom does not consist only in dying for one’s faith. Martyrdom also consists in serving God with love and purity of heart every day of one’s life.

We must love Christ and always seek Christ’s embraces. Then everything difficult will seem easy.

They please the world most, who please Christ least.

It is no fault of Christianity that a hypocrite falls into sin.

Seek to learn on earth those truths which will remain ever valid in Heaven.

So valuable to heaven is the dignity of the human soul that every member of the human race has a guardian angel from the moment the person begins to be.

Without doubt, the Lord grants all favors which are asked of Him in Mass, provided they be fitting for us.

The best advice that I can give you is this. Church-traditions — especially when they do not run counter to the faith — are to be observed in the form in which previous generations have handed them down; and the use of one church is not to be annulled because it is contrary to that of another.

Thank God I am deemed worthy to be hated by the world.

The Church of Christ has been founded by shedding its own blood, not that of others; by enduring outrage, not by inflicting it. Persecutions have made it grow; martyrdoms have crowned it.

Honest speech does not seek secret places.

Whosoever you are who introduce new doctrines, I beseech you to spare the ears of Romans! Spare that faith which was commended by the voice of an Apostle. Why should you attempt to teach us, at the end of hundreds of years, that which we never heard before? Why bring forward what Peter and Paul did not will to make known? Until this day, the world was Christian without your doctrine. Thus, I hold as an old man onto that faith wherein I was regenerated as a boy.

Grumpy, but holy.

Today is the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, and I am going with the Byzantine style again this year even though on the Byzantine Calendar this feast is observed on November 8.  Why?  Because the Byzantine name of the Feast is just about the coolest, most macho thing you’ve ever heard.  Check it out:

The Synaxis of the Chief of the Heavenly Hosts, Archangel Michael and the Other Heavenly Bodiless Powers

The term “synaxis” in this context refers to “a common commemoration of a number of saints in a single service”.

Also, I just like saying the word “synaxis”, because… I’m easily entertained. Talk about a six dollar word!

I also like referring to Angels as “Heavenly Bodiless Powers”.  I reckon they like it too, because the whole business of depicting Angels as winged babies, or as Precious Moments figurines must be galling to them.  “Heavenly Bodiless Powers” is not only macho, it is also much more accurate a description of their nature.

Here is a really good page (albeit Eastern Orthodox, but the content is totally sound) about our friends the Heavenly Bodiless Powers.

And remember, this… YES:

This… NO:

And for your musical interlude, Bortniansky’s Cherubic Hymn Number 7:

“All we that in mystery
Holy Cherubim portray
As the life’creating Trinity
With thrice-holy hymn we adore and praise.
Come, let us cast off all earthly care,
And forget every vain employ.
FOR THE KING OF ALL COMES IN TRIUMPH
BY UNSEEN HOSTS OF ANGELS BROUGHT
TO US THAT BID HIM WELCOME.
ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA, ALLELUIA!”

St. Michael and all Heavenly Bodiless Powers, pray for us!

“Liberty, equality and fraternity are not simply words emblazoned on the front of your public buildings; they refer to universal ethical imperatives that also find in the Gospel message an inexhaustible source of inspiration and fulfillment,” the [Anti]pope said.

If only there were signs….

Antipope PERVost is a publicly avowed satanist Freemason. Pardon the redundancy.

That’s how I know that he isn’t the pope.

Open book test, folks. Open book test.

Time to repost this again. It just keeps getting more and more prescient.
