At the end of every Traditional Latin Mass (with just a few exceptions per year), the first fourteen verses of the Gospel of John are read. So yes, there are TWO Gospel readings per Mass: the variable Gospel in the liturgy of the Word, which changes every day, and John 1:1-14 at the very, very end of the Mass. The Johannine Gospel is referred to as “The Last Gospel”.

John 1:1-14 is, in my considered opinion, the single greatest and most beautiful bit of prose ever written. The Holy Spirit really pulled out all of the stops when He inspired John to pen these verses. It is simultaneously macho and elegant. Especially in Latin. It is just perfect. Here is the English:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men: and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him. He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light. That was the true light which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.

He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them He gave great power to become the sons of God: to them that believe in His name: who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Perfect. So why did the Freemasonic -sodomite infiltrators remove the reading of the most beautiful bit of prose EVER from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass when they maliciously concocted the Novus Ordo?

Short answer: Because they hate God.

Long answer: Because their satanic agenda, believe it or not, all turns on messing up the processions of the Trinity.

Huh?

It’s actually quite simple. All of the Freemasonic-sodomite infiltrators are always going on and on about how giving people free stuff and letting people do whatever they want is the message of Christ and His Church, right? There is no sin, there is no hell, I’m okay – you’re okay, do what you want and give people free stuff because … wait for it … God is Love. And love means free stuff, never ever having to say you’re sorry, and, of course,?whatever sickening, perverted genital acts anyone wants.

The problem with this is that love PROCEEDS from logic and reason. Look at The Last Gospel. It’s right there in the very first verse. In the beginning was THE WORD. Verbum in Latin. Logos in the original Greek. Logos means logic and/or reason in the Greek. John identifies God NOT as “The Caritas” (Latin for love, which is the root of the word charity) or The Agape (Greek for the ultimate self-sacrificial love). John does not say, “In the beginning was the Love…” No, no. John identifies God as THE LOGOS. The Word. Logic and reason. Existential Reality.

Why? Because Divine Love proceeds out of the Logos. Yep. Logic/Reason/Reality comes first, then only proceeding out of Logic/Reason/Reality is Caritas, which is love. Logic/Reason/Reality is the Divine Base Premise. Charity/Love is the Divine Corollary.

What satan, through his Freemasonic-sodomite helpers, has done is to REVERSE the processions. The Freemasonic -sodomite infiltrators preach that the “love” comes first and that logic and reason are massively subordinated at best, or are the opposite and enemy of love at worst.

Kids, you mess up the processions of the Trinity and everything in your culture will fall apart POST HASTE. Just ask the Russians. And this is exactly what is happening to us since we have been overthrown by Freemasonic-Communists over the last 60+ years, now fully accomplished by the Washington Deep State regime, which is neo-Stalinist, and ever-more frequently openly manifesting its literal Satanism.

Think about it. The Freemasonic-Communist-sodogarchs say that they want to give everyone free stuff, and the people have a “right” to free stuff. But that clearly doesn’t jibe with reality. It is illogical and devoid of reason. Money has to come from somewhere. Physical commodities have to be produced and harvested at the expense of labor – MAN HOURS. Service commodities are a function of man hours and acquired human skill or talent. These things are not free, and do not exist in infinite quantities. A man can voluntarily choose to donate his labor, skill and time, but the donation, the charity, the LOVE therein MUST be preceded by the REALITY of the thing itself.

Let’s just give everyone on earth a trillion dollars and call it good. Wouldn’t that be *nice*? If we really loved our neighbor we would just give him a trillion bucks, right?

Um, yeah, except that would instantaneously collapse the currency and economy. Math will not permit such irrational insanity, and since math, as a subset of the Logos, precedes caritas, or love, we can’t mandate that people be given free stuff. People can only be given free stuff in any sustainable way by other individuals acting from purely voluntary charity, not coercion. This is why MATH WINS, and why miracles like the multiplication of the loaves and fishes are exactly that – MIRACLES, not economic theories.

Oh, and with respects to sodomy, two men jamming things into each other’s feces-laden posterior fundaments or two women abusing one another is irrational. Like it or not, genital acts must be SEXUAL, that is, they MUST ALWAYS make anatomical sense and be ordered toward reproduction. Sodomy in ANY form, by definition, does neither. Sodomy is violently, hatefully irrational and DISordered. And, nipping the screeching in the bud, sex between man and wife that is naturally infertile due to either a natural condition in a young woman, or due to the infertility of age in an older woman is 100% ratified by God in the miraculous births of Isaac and John the Baptist. Sodomy is irrational, intrinsically hateful and physically violent and is in direct opposition to the existential reality of human anatomy. Period. It can never, ever proceed from love under any circumstance. To engage in sodomy, the pervert must either hate or be pathologically indifferent to both him/herself AND the other person. And remember, it is indifference, not hatred, that is the pure opposite, the complete inversion of love.

This is why the Freemasonic-sodomite infiltrators removed the proclamation of The Last Gospel from the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, because it shoots down their Marxist rabble-rousing agitprop revolving around “free stuff” and the Sodomites’ addiction to perverted genital acts.

Oh, and none of this has been taught in seminaries for over 60 years now. Your priest, bishop and the vast, vast majority of the Cardinals gathered in Rome know NOTHING about what an ex-cattle broker girl from Denver with an Amazon Prime membership just explained to you; never mind Superfun Rockband Church Pastor Jeremy. And if they do know the truth, they hate it and want it totally exterminated from the earth… and they’ve gotten damn close.

And so, the answer to the title question of this post, ‘Which comes first: Logic or Love?’ is:

In principio erat Verbum ….

I hope this helps.

Here is a nice recitation of the Last Gospel in Latin. I strongly recommend memorizing it, and silently reciting it in union with the priest at Mass. I can’t help but suspect that Our Lord loves to hear us say these words, particularly when He is reposed just beside our heart after we receive Him in Sacramental Communion – hearing us “from the inside”, as we whisper this most perfect prosaic proclamation of His very essence back to Him.
