(I firmly resolved to NOT have any discussion of sodomy in this space over Christmas, but now it’s time to resume the war. Let’s start with this reminder, which should fill us with great hope and consolation. Let it also remind us – and this is very important for all of us – that up until just recently, sodomy and sodomites were so rare that the very concept was rarely if ever discussed. Many people lived their entire lives never knowing that the sins of Sodom even existed. And yes, every sodomite on earth could have been smote by God without causing any upheaval because there were SO FEW. We MUST remind ourselves that this state of total cultural saturation with sodomy, transvestitism, perversion and sexual depravity is wildly anomalous and in no way normal. Civilization WILL revert to a default baseline chastity, or civilization will cease to exist. The world has cancer: sodomy. Don’t let the enemy convince you that the cancer is normal. -AB)
In a sermon at the Church of Saint Mary of Porciuncula, St. Bonaventure spoke about the miracles that took place at the very moment of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
This action corresponds to the ire of God when he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and projects a serious perspective for modern countries that support homosexuality.
All sodomites, men and women, died all over the earth, as Saint Jerome said commenting on the verse Lux orta est iusto [The light was born for the just] (Ps 96:11). This was to make it clear that He [Jesus Christ] was born to reform nature and to promote chastity.

Behold, Purity Itself, incarnate.
Ann,
This Christmas is going to be a joyous one for me because, much to my shame which the Lord has forgiven and to my exceeding joy, I went to Confession and Mass today for the first time since March 2020.
All the diabolical lockdowns we had here meant that my – til then – routine of Sunday Mass and at least monthly confession were broken and I struggled to return.
Last night I prayed with tears to St. Joseph, to whom I’m consecrated, and begged him to perform a miracle and get me to Mass and Confession. I wanted to have the great gift of having sanctifying grace in me again and to receive the Eucharist as a sign of the Lord being reborn in me. And so this morning, I finally got to the Latin Mass and went to Confession during Mass (as the Fathers hold Confession right up to the Consecration) and I went in right after the Creed and made my humble Confession.
I can’t express the peace I got at the words that the Lord Jesus said to me through His priest. He confirmed that He’d never abandoned me even as I had, shamefully, abandoned Him in the Sacraments. And He said, through His priest, “Welcome back”.
I almost cried when I received Holy Communion. It felt like seeing a friend after a long time. After Mass I got some holy water, went to Our Lady to thank her also (as I know she was also involved) and also went to St. Peter, and begged him to end the Antipapacy. Incidentally, the priest used his homily to talk about that piece of apostasy “Fiducia Supplicans” and pretty much rinsed the Vatican and the document and said the Fathers there won’t be blessing sodomy at all!
I’m planning to ONLY attend the Latin Mass and not that other thing. I’ve had it with Modernism and Vatican II. The sooner that excuse of a Council is reduced to an asterisk, the better.
Anyway, I wish you a very happy, merry, and Christ-filled Christmas. Thank you for all you do for Christ and His Church (and for my sanity).

The Fourth Reading from the Second Nocturne of Matins of Christmas.
From the Sermons of Pope St. Leo (the Great)
Dearly beloved brethren, Unto us is born this day a Savior, Luke 2: 11.
Let us rejoice. It would be unlawful to be sad to day, for today is Life’s Birthday; the Birthday of that Life, Which, for us dying creatures, taketh away the sting of death, and bringeth the bright promise of the eternal gladness hereafter. It would be unlawful for any man to refuse to partake in our rejoicing. All men have an equal share in the great cause of our joy, for, since our Lord, Who is the destroyer of sin and of death, findeth that all are bound under the condemnation, He is come to make all free. Rejoice, O thou that art holy, thou drawest nearer to thy crown! Rejoice, O thou that art sinful, thy Saviour offereth thee pardon! Rejoice also, O thou Gentile, God calleth thee to life! For the Son of God, when the fulness of the time was come, which had been fixed by the unsearchable counsel of God, took upon Him the nature of man, that He might reconcile that nature to Him Who made it, and so the devil, the inventor of death, is met and beaten in that very flesh which hath been the field of his victory.
I have written on Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” before, but it has been several years, and I think a recapitulation is in order given current events.
The ARSH 1951 film “Scrooge” starring Alastair Sim is the definitive film version of “A Christmas Carol”. It is traditional viewing for me on Christmas Eve night, and has been since childhood. For those of you with any ties to the Kansas City area, the old independent Channel 41 would show “Scrooge” at 10:00pm on Christmas Eve annually, followed by either Luciano Pavarotti’s ARSH 1978 Christmas concert, or (sigh) the non-Christian Mormon choir singing Christmas Carols.
But “A Christmas Carol” took on a whole new life and depth of meaning for me when, after my in-depth study of Diabolical Narcissism several years ago, I realized that the reason why “A Christmas Carol” is such a compelling story, is because it depicts an all-out miracle. The “transformation” of Ebeneezer Scrooge is nothing less than the supernatural healing of a full-blown Diabolical Narcissist psychopath.
The pre-conversion Scrooge character is a classic DN. He is a cerebral narcissist – highly successful in his profession, a miser, caring for nothing but “his work” – which just happens to be usury (Usury? In London? Nooo….), sitting alone in his room every night, lovelessly single, devoid of human empathy, haughty, critical and disdainful of everyone and everything, looking down on and actively resentful of normal, loving people – embodied by his clark, whom he psychologically abuses, Bob Cratchit, and his family.
Love, joy, gratitude and generosity disgust and enrage Scrooge. He hates occasions of happiness, and actively seeks to disrupt and destroy them, especially holidays. The people around him walk on eggshells to his face – but either pity or dislike him behind his back. In the “Ghost of Christmas Future” act, Scrooge is genuinely surprised to discover that almost everyone is glad that he is dead – the exception being Bob Cratchit himself, the most direct recipient of Scrooge’s abuse. Bob Cratchit is thus a metaphor for Christ.
Not only does “A Christmas Carol” firmly establish in its opening act the total lovelessness of Scrooge, the total self-purgation of all charity from his soul, but it even shows HOW IT HAPPENED, and the exact moment when Scrooge made the conscious choice to expel all love from his soul and to never love again.
That moment happens when young Scrooge’s beloved sister, Fan, dies in childbirth. Ebeneezer Scrooge’s mother, it is revealed, also died in childbirth, and Scrooge’s father blamed him for her death, and “never forgave him”, abusing him, and them sending him away. As is so common, Scrooge, already wounded, repeated the very error of his father and blamed Fan’s newborn infant son for her death. Even worse, Scrooge, whether implicitly or explicitly, also declared war on God – Love Himself – by rejecting love and consciously emptying himself of it. The very moment of this decision is shown at the 32:54 timestamp.
Immediately, Scrooge descends into psychopathic usury, and, as we have discussed, even descends into that horrific sexual perversion – ASEXUALITY, by dumping his fiancée and living a life of LOVELESS, MISERABLE, ELITIST SOLITUDE. Even his only “friend”, Jacob Marley, he held in indifference and even contempt.
The other point here which is TOTALLY lost on the modern world is the fact that EBENEEZER is quite possibly the most HEBREW name ever, and that EVERYONE understood when Dickens wrote the book that Scrooge was one of the many JEWISH USURERS in London. So, this story isn’t merely about the healing of the heart of a miserable old narcissist, A Christmas Carol is the story of the miraculous conversion to Christianity of a JEW.
The story closes with the words, “And it was always said that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge.”
That, friends, means that Ebeneezer Scrooge, an ethnic Jew and atheist (as almost all ethnic Jews today are), received baptism and became a believing Christian. It is left to the reader to understand that the Cratchit Family were his “sponsors” in this. It is also obliquely implied at the beginning of the story that Scrooge’s nephew, Fred, married a Christian girl – “it was the making of me”, and thus invites Scrooge to their home for Christmas dinner.
So, if you can spare the time this year, do sit down and watch this, and see if the “Christmas morning” scene wherein Scrooge is miraculously healed of his Diabolical Narcissism, and radiates genuine love and joy, doesn’t pack a bit more of a punch. Because for a Diabolical Narcissist psychopath to be thus healed is a greater miracle than levitation, bilocation, or most any other physical miracle.
A Merry Christmas to one and all! God bless you, everyone!

I made the best chocolate and peanut butter chip cookies I’ve ever made in the new kitchen in the proverbial Van Down By the Crick just now. The oven is great. Every oven is different, and mine’s a winner. Whew!
Tomorrow morning the liturgical marathon begins! St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin are almost to Bethlehem!
Toe-tapping obligatory.
Over the transom just now. As long as they’re alive, it’s NEVER too late. God works in mysterious ways, and in His time. Never forget the parable of the workers. Those who rolled in at the last hour received the same wage as those who started at daybreak. And Our Lord said, “Or, is it not lawful for Me to do what I will? is thy eye evil, because I AM good?” Remember what we pray all day every day in the Pater Noster: THY will be done. Also, GO TO CONFESSION. —-AB
Ann-
A dear friend and my husband converted in the midst of the lockdowns in 2020. My friend subsequently discovered that her family were lapsed Catholics, something she had never known in the previous 50+ years of her life. Today, her father went to confession for the first time in 60 years. Hallelujah!
Merry Christmas and God bless you, Ann.

Today is the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle!
John 20: 19-31
At that time, when it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst and said to them: Peace be to you. And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent Me, I also send you. When He had said this, He breathed on them, and He said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe. And after eight days, again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you. Then He saith to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither, and see My hands, and bring hither thy hand, and put into My side; and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered and said to Him: my Lord and my God. Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen Me, Thomas, thou hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed. Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of His disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that, believing, you may have life in His Name.
Here’s an amazing tidbit from Fr. Z. In the original Greek, the word for “hand” actually sometimes refers to the hand plus the wrist plus the lower forearm. In Ancient Greek, when you are speaking of just the hand proper, additional words can be added to make that precision. Given this, the reality of what exactly happened to St. Thomas might be far, far more intense that what we imagine.
Our Lord has breathed upon the other ten Apostles, minus the absent Thomas, thus imparting the Holy Ghost upon them, and giving them all the power of binding and loosing, thus instituting the Sacrament of Confession. Then, Our Lord appears to them again on the eighth day, and Thomas arrives, and puts his fingers into the finger-sized nail holes in Our Lord’s hands. Then he puts what the Greek indicates is his entire hand, wrist and lower forearm all the way into the lance wound made by Longinus in Our Lord’s thoracic cavity, at Our Lord’s command.
It is conceivably possible that Our Lord breathed the Holy Ghost upon Thomas WHILE THOMAS WAS HOLDING OUR LORD’S LUNG IN HIS HAND, and that Thomas literally touched Our Lord’s BEATING SACRED HEART, and PALPATED THE STAB WOUND in Our Lord’s Sacred Heart.
Now, consider being Thomas and doing this, but also consider being one of the other Apostles standing there watching this happen, watching Thomas stick his hand and forearm into Our Lord’s side.
And if you’re thinking to yourself, “That isn’t possible…”, well, neither is walking through walls. The resurrected body of Our Lord is in an entirely different category. It isn’t held to the laws of the physical universe that bind us as we await our resurrection that He purchased for us.
People wonder why and how the Apostles were able to do what they did, and all but John were killed for the faith, and John was miraculously prevented from being killed, despite multiple efforts. Well, I reckon if we saw one of our friends stick his hand into Our Lord’s thoracic cavity up to the forearm, hold His breathing lung, and touch His Sacred Heart, we might be… confirmed and quickened, to put it mildly.

So, Happy Feast of St. Thomas! I hope you never think of it quite the same way again.
St. Thomas, pray for us.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us, on Pope Benedict, the one and only living Vicar of Christ on Earth whether he likes it or not, the Papacy, and on Your Holy Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation.
(A repost from two years ago. This can never be repeated enough. It is precisely the absolute authority and universal jurisdiction of the Papacy that we need, in FULL manifestation, potency and unapologetically virile exercise. In short, we need a saintly “Pope Pitbull I.” -AB ‘23)
All of the “Fwanciss is deffinetwee Pope, shut up, Stoopid!” talking head contingent are pounding daily the lie that the dogmatic definition of Papal Infallibility was clearly a huge mistake and that, essentially, the Papacy itself is a giant albatross that MUST be reduced to a meaningless figurehead position and nothing more. Further, these poor, poor people now argue that to believe in the words of Jesus Christ in the Gospel:
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. [19] And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
…that to believe these words is to commit the mortal sin of IDOLATRY, which they oh-so-cleverly call “papolatry”. Further, I have seen these Trad Inc grifters and hangers-on declare that the GOSPELS THEMSELVES ARE UNRELIABLE AND THAT THE PETRINE PROMISE RECORDED IN MATTHEW 16 WAS LIKELY A FABRICATION INSERTED BY POWER-HUNGRY MEN – aka St. Peter and St. Matthew working in cahoots, specifically – IN ORDER TO ASSIGN AUTHORITY AND EARTHLY POWER AND JURISDICTION TO PETER AND HIS “SUCCESSORS” WHICH OUR LORD NEVER CONFERRED NOR INTENDED.
Um. Isn’t this lie EXACTLY what the schismatic Orthodox, Lutherans, Anglicans and Freemasons have been trying to convince the world of all along?
Isn’t it ODD that NOT ONE of these Trad Inc. “thought leaders” EVER countenanced this thought BEFORE they decided to define their entire Christian identity by militantly embracing an Antipope? Isn’t it strange that these people have literally turned themselves completely inside out trying to avoid admitting that maybe – just maybe – they have been wrong about the identity of the Vicar of Christ, which has now become what can only be described as a blind rage of pride which prevents them from ever, ever, ever, even unto eternal damnation, admitting that maybe, perhaps Barnhardt (and others) have seen and understood something clearly visible and obvious that they, with their UNIVERSITY DEGREES (please, be kind, don’t laugh TOO hard, they actually think university degrees in theology mean something today, and most of them have massive outstanding student loans that they can never repay incentivizing this delusion) have not only missed, but have been beaten over the head with it for over ten years now? Odd indeed.
God, being omniscient, knew everything that satan and his mercenary body on earth, the Freemasons, were going to attempt to do. God knew that the luciferian plan was to attack and destroy The Church from WITHIN – because attacking from the outside was clearly a non-starter strategy. The luciferian plot, the entire purpose of the founding of Freemasonry in ARSH 1717, was to usurp the Papacy and install an Antipope who would completely dismantle and destroy The Church Militant FROM WITHIN – FROM THE VATICAN ITSELF, and replace The True Church with a satanic Antichurch without most people even noticing the switch. In fact, most people would be in favor of what they saw, because the Antichurch would abolish the notion of sin and hell, and ratify every depravity, and make MAN the center and object of worship.
So. God, knowing this and loving infinitely His Bride, The Church, moved and worked through an infallible Ecumenical Council to provide a 100% rock-solid means of positively identifying the Freemason’s Antipope when the True Pope was usurped and the luciferian imposter was installed.
If a man who claims to be the Pope starts spewing lies against the faith – like declaring that sodomites and other perverts, adulterers and fornicators can be blessed AS COUPLES DEFINED BY THEIR MORTALLY SINFUL ACTS, like ratifying divorce and “remarriage”, like denying the Divinity of Christ, like saying the Blessed Virgin was “just a normal girl” who wasn’t born a saint, and doubted God at the foot of the Cross, like denying the existence of hell and openly proclaiming the lie of soul annihilation, like declaring proselytism a sin and explicitly condemning The Great Commission, and LIKE ATTEMPTING TO ABROGATE THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS IN THE VENERABLE RITE OF ST. GREGORY THE GREAT, MADE CANONICAL BY POPE ST. PIUS V – when some chucklehead Jesuit moron with a BUNCH of super-close sodomite “friends” who is also in bed with the New World Order Malthusian oligarchy starts spewing this stuff on a near-daily basis… you might want to pause and ask a question or two.
Folks, it is PRECISELY because we have the declaration of Papal Infallibility in Pastor Aeternus that we can today, even as unlettered laynothing harridans (speaking for myself), look at the situation with Antipope Bergoglio and KNOW beyond ANY DOUBT that THAT piece of human detritus, Jorge Bergoglio, AIN’T THE POPE.
Okay. So we got that. The next question is, WHAT HAPPENED? Did anything hinky happen right before this evil apostate luciferian showed up and started calling himself the… Bishop of Rome?
WHY YES! The most completely bizarre thing in the 2000 year history of the papacy occurred DAYS BEFORE. The reigning Pope, who announced upon his election in no uncertain terms that HE WAS UNDER PRESSURE AND ATTACK AND MIGHT LITERALLY FLEE, proffered a substantially erroneous “partial resignation” of just the ministry of the active governance of the Church, while retaining the Petrine Munus, complete with the Papal White, the Papal Style and Name “His Holiness Pope Benedict”, continuing to reside inside the Vatican, and continuing to confirm the brethren, and continuing to give “MY APOSTOLIC BLESSING”.
Without Vatican I and the dogmatic definition in Pastor Aeternus, we might all be sitting here thinking, “Well, this SEEMS wrong, but we can’t know for sure because there is so little guidance on this contingency. Everything that has been written on this possibility has been highly speculative.”
WELP. The Divine Providence in His infinite kindness and incomprehensible love made ABSOLUTELY SURE that we could – ALL OF US – know, and know as a matter of DOGMATIC FAITH, what exactly it is that is going on here. No secret decoder rings needed. Quite the opposite. A dogmatic declaration is the exact opposite of any sort of gnostic secrecy because it makes a given article a make-or-break matter of holding the Catholic Faith.
And isn’t that EXACTLY where we are, right now? There is an Antipope that is openly telling people that they MUST embrace lies as truth, and that they MUST be in union with HIM and HIS HERESY in order to be “in The Church”. Antipope Bergoglio is telling the world that you MUST embrace HIS HERESY and APOSTASY in order to not be a schismatic. This is a clear violation of the Law of Non-contradiction: Antipope Bergoglio claims to be BOTH the standard of Schism in his person, and SIMULTANEOUSLY he is the vector of schism. He claims to be simultaneously a thing AND its ontological opposite.
You can parse Pastor Aeternus as fine as you like, but there is absolutely no way to claim that the Law of Non-contradiction vis-a-vis the Pope and Schism in se is NOT clearly within the domain of the Dogma of Papal Infallibility. NONE.
Finally, I’d like to mention a concept in the same vein as this piece, specifically the simply boundless and infinite love of God for us, but now in the context of TECHNOLOGY. Yes, technology. I know most of us look at the modern world and see the horrors of technology around us, such as the ubiquitousness of pornography, the tracking/Mark of the Beast dynamics now emerging in real time, the destruction of economy and community that springs from economy by Chinese slave labor and Amazon, and of course, the near-total control of the media that satan holds, propagandizing and warping reality in the minds of nearly all men today.
But I’d like to argue the other side. I’d like to postulate that maybe – just maybe – the Holy Ghost inspired men at an absolutely unprecedented pace in all of human history to advance technology for an overarching purpose that trumps all of the temporary negative aspects listed above for a reason.
I postulate that we have the ability to communicate with almost anyone on the planet in real time, the ability to record and disseminate information at the speed of light, precisely so that the Freemasons’ luciferian Antipope – Antipope Bergoglio – COULD NOT HIDE BEHIND THE VATICAN WALLS, could not hide behind the speed of information dissemination being limited to the speed of a horse or a sailing ship.
I think that we have this technology coupled with the dogmatic declaration of Papal Infallibility so that lucifer and his minions would have every bit of their hamfisted plot circling the globe being observed, hashed out and discussed, with every papal document and the whole of Canon Law available in every language, by unlettered lay nothing harridans who carry a baby television around in their pocket which gives them instant, unfettered access to all of it – down to Antipope Bergoglio’s raging tantrums as he eats his lunch, down to his physical assault of a Chinese woman begging for help for the Church in China, down to his ordering a demonic Pachamama talisman to be placed on the high altar of St. Peter’s Basilica at the offertory of the Mass, thus desecrating the Basilica. IT’S ALL RECORDED. EVERYONE CAN SEE IT. Many will see it and ignore it. Pride. Greed. Cowardice. BUT, whoever the Divine Providence wants to see it will see it. And it is the technology that makes that possible, whether one lives in the Center of Rome, or in a Van Down By the River.
Never forget what Our Lord said to satan when satan declared his intent to destroy the Church, as overheard by Pope Leo XIII in ARSH 1884:
GO AHEAD AND TRY.
If you know Who God Is, and you believe it, those words are just about the most edifying possible. I AM Omniscient and Omnipotent, and I am saying to you: go ahead and try, because I will utterly crush and humiliate you, and manifest My Power and My Love. GO AHEAD AND TRY, AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS.
The truth of the Bergoglian Antipapacy and the awesomeness of God can be appreciated AS IT IS HAPPENING. It’s not necessary for centuries to pass before anyone can appreciate what is happening RIGHT NOW TO US. What a tragedy that so many people are not only missing out, but being scandalized and even apostatizing, when they should be, in a certain sense, enjoying being able to see and even participate in this Holy War – even if only, for now, through a baby television that you carry in your pocket. Savor these days, friends. Savor these days. And DON’T squander the opportunity that you have been given to know, love and serve God in this world, so that you may be happy with Him forever in the next.
I hope this helps.
Our Lady of Copacabana, slayer of the Pachamama demon, pray for us.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us, on your Holy Church in terrifyingly visible eclipse, and on the Petrine See, vacant now these 354 days.
