St. Agatha, now patroness of mentally ill girls and women who have been mutilated by the Luciferian cult of transvestitism.

St. Agatha was a young Christian lady who underwent a brutal torture and martyrdom in the mid-200s. One of the things her pervert torturers did to her was rip off her breasts. Miraculously, St. Peter himself appeared and restored her breasts to her body.

Isn’t it remarkable that today Luciferianism is so openly practiced that the tortuous severing of young girls breasts is done openly, touted at virtuous, and children are even being taken from their parents so that the Luciferian Transvestitarians can sever the breasts of girls as an offering to satan.

And make absolutely no mistake: these procedures are done as SACRIFICES TO SATAN.

So now St. Agatha, in these ever-darkening days at the End of All Things, has a new cohort to be patroness of: women and girls whose breasts have been torn off in Transvestitarian ritual sacrifice to Satan.

St. Agatha, pray that these women and girls be liberated from the satanic cult of Transvestitarianism, and for their healing, body and soul.

St. Peter Healing St. Agatha, Giovanni Lanfranco, ARSH 1614


I was also struck by the Prayer at Terce this morning in the Divine Office:


O God, Who, amidst the wondrous work of thy Divine power, dost make even weak women to be more than conquerors in the uplifting of their testimony, mercifully grant unto all us who do keep the Birthday of thy blessed handmaiden and witness Agatha, grace to follow her steps to thee.

Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

. Amen.


More than conquerors in the uplifting of their testimony…

More than conquerors.

Even weak women.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS.

So fantastic. So edifying. So inspiring.

St. Agatha, pray for us!

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us!

Sexagesima Sunday: Wake up! Why are you sleeping, Lord? Wake up!

The Introit of today’s Mass, Sexagesima Sunday, references Matthew 8: 23-27, wherein Our Lord is asleep on the poop deck of a boat during a terrible storm on the Sea of Galilee.

Matt 8:23-27
At that time, Jesus got into a boat, and His disciples followed Him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was covered by the waves; but He was asleep. So they came and woke Him, saying, Lord, save us! we are perishing! But He said to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the sea, and there came a great calm. And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of Man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

The Introit of today’s Mass, remarkable in its boldness, is actually the prophecy of the Jesus sleeping in the storm event, written by King David a thousand years before Christ’s Incarnation. It is the conclusion of the 43rd Psalm:

23 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.
Exsurge; quare obdormis, Domine? exsurge, et ne repellas in finem.

24 Why turnest thou Thy face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?
Quare faciem tuam avertis? oblivisceris inopiae nostrae et tribulationis nostrae?

25 For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.
Quoniam humiliata est in pulvere anima nostra; conglutinatus est in terra venter noster.

26 Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for Thy Name’s sake.
Exsurge, Domine, adjuva nos, et redime nos propter nomen tuum.

Exsurge. Arise, GET UP, WAKE UP!

The Poop is the raised deck or cabin in the stern (the hinder part) of a boat or ship.  That is where Our Lord was having His little snooze.

The Bergoglian antipapacy is by far the worst tempest to ever toss the Barque of Peter.  The past heresies, especially those in the first thousand years of the Church, including Arianism, Donatism, Manichaeism, etc., were all – I can’t believe I’m typing this – SUBTLE compared to what is going on now.  What is going on now is new territory – the denial of the NATURAL LAW, which by definition human beings can easily know and understand even OUTSIDE THE CHURCH.

All human cultures know and understand marriage.  All human cultures know that sodomy is wrong.  ALL HUMAN BEINGS KNOW THAT THERE ARE TWO IMMUTABLE SEXES, DETERMINED AT CONCEPTION. All human beings, including those who NEVER knew or know the Church will be judged on the Natural Law.  The pre-Columbian Amazon Basin dweller was/will be judged on, for example, the sin of Sodomy, because sodomy is known to every human being as grave sin through the Natural Law. Likewise transvestitism. Those poor people today on Sentinel Island, and in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, for example, know perfectly well that masquerading around as a member of the opposite sex is gravely, gravely wrong, and fundamentally evil. They may not know much, being so far removed from the Light of Christ through His Holy Church, but just through their very humanity and the Natural Law attendant to every human being, they KNOW that transvestitism is wrong.

The Bergoglian antipapacy denies and seeks to utterly destroy even these obvious truths, known to all through the Natural Law, thus attempting to INVERT at the most fundamental level, the Natural Law. The Bergoglian Antipapacy and Antichurch is clearly, obviously Luciferian.

But, we must trust Our Lord, even though it seems that He is having a nap while this all goes on.  How can we be surprised by this?  How can our faith be shaken when there have been countless prophecies and apparitions of Our Lady warning of exactly these events, as it is now crystal clear?  Cardinal against Cardinal and bishop against bishop, mass apostasy, an antipope, confusion about who actually is/was the pope, a “destroyer pope”, the False Prophet Forerunner of the Antichrist who is an anti-John the Baptist, and on and on.  La Salette, Akita, Fatima, Quito, Holy Scripture….

And, as I and many others have said over and over again, how could we POSSIBLY expect God to continue to bless a culture that is the largest cult of child sacrifice, sodomy, humanicide, theft and warmongering ever seen in human history, by many orders of magnitude?  How could we expect God to turn a blind eye to the sacrilege that is endemic to almost every Novus Ordo Mass offered on the planet for the last 54 years – while the entire Church sat in the silence of complicity, more concerned with worldly approval than the Sacred, Wounded Heart of Our Blessed Lord, and His Mother?

So, yes, He is sleeping under the poop as the storm rages, but we must remember His admonition: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet?

He WILL rise up, and He WILL say, “Peace, be still.”  And the Barque of Peter will be saved from these devils, and it will lower its nets and bring in a great harvest of souls.  We know this.  We CANNOT doubt this.  And He will do it in HIS good time, not ours, being that He is omniscient, and we most certainly are not, to put it mildly.

But what I love about this morning’s Introit is the fact that Holy Mother Church encourages and enjoins us to go back to the Poop Deck, kneel down beside Him, and very boldly beg Him, and might I even use the word harangue Him, to WAKE UP! GET UP! We must always maintain a healthy servile fear of The Lord, but the fact that we are enjoined to speak to Him so boldly is a testament to the Divine Intimacy that we are called to – a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, as the saying goes.

See you on the poop deck!

ARISE! WAKE UP! GET UP! WE PERISH!

Action Item: Prayers for Dr. Mazza’s op/ed on the invalid resignation of Pope Benedict to be published in a major news outlet on February 11th – the 11th anniversary

Our own Dr. Mazza has penned a fantastic op/ed piece for a major news outlet. Prayers up that the piece is published in next Sunday’s edition, the 11th anniversary of Pope Benedict trying to half quit the Papacy.

St. Peter, pray for us!

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us!

Happy Feast of The Rule of Law!

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple and the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, aka Candlemas: The Antidote to Narcissism, Elitism and Oligarchy and the Bergoglian Antipapacy and Antichurch

Today, February 2nd, is the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple.  This is the Fourth Joyful Mystery of the Rosary, and the fruit of the mystery is OBEDIENCE and LOVE OF THE LAW.

Witnessing what we all have over the eleven years, the total collapse of The Rule of Law in the private sector, the government and now The Church under the Bergoglian Antipapacy, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord and Purification of the Blessed Virgin is especially rich with meaning.

On the 40th day after His birth, Joseph and Mary, in perfect obedience to the Levitical Law, took Jesus to the Temple to be “redeemed”:

And every firstborn of men thou shalt redeem with a price. And when thy son shall ask thee tomorrow, saying: What is this? thou shalt answer him: With a strong hand did the Lord bring us forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. For when Pharao was hardened, and would not let us go, the Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man to the firstborn of beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the womb of the male sex, and all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.
Exodus 13: 13-15

Now, stop and think about the reflexive nature of this.  Jesus Christ IS HIMSELF GOD.  Jesus IS HIMSELF the God that brought Israel out of bondage in Egypt.  Jesus Christ IS HIMSELF GOD who commanded that all “that openeth the womb of the male sex” be sacrificed and redeemed. Jesus Christ IS HIMSELF the Author of The Law because HE HIMSELF IS THE LAW.

So, why did Mary and Joseph, and ultimately Christ Himself, an infant of 40 days of age, go to the Temple and perform this action?  Furthermore, why did Mary also at the same time undergo the ritual of Purification, the rite performed on women who had just given birth?

Shouldn’t Mary, Joseph, and ultimately Christ Himself have dispensed themselves from these ritual precepts given the fact that Jesus is God Incarnate, and Mary was preserved in immaculate purity, including her virginity, and thus had absolutely no need of any rite of Purification?

Why did they comply with these Levitical precepts when they were all so clearly above them?

Because love of The Law and obedience to it is love of God and obedience to Him. Love of The Law is the rejection of CHAOS, which is evil, and the embrace of order, logic and rationality.

Can you imagine the Blessed Virgin, striding haughtily into the Temple, St. Joseph, nose in the air, looking down his nose at the priests, and declaring, “My Son will NOT be redeemed, because He is the Son of the Living God, The Messiah, and thus The Law does not apply to Him because He is its Author!” And then the Blessed Virgin saying, “And I, having conceived Him by the Holy Ghost, carried Him and borne Him, am The Mother of God, and thus will not submit to the Ritual of Purification, because I am perfectly pure!”

All of the above statements are true, but yet we can hear how narcissistic, elitist, and devoid of TRUE HUMILITY and charity they would have been.  No, Jesus, Mary and Joseph all submitted to and obeyed The Law because to do so is to set a good example, namely by completely rejecting the spirit of elitism, narcissism and oligarchy that utterly permeates our culture. In submitting to The Law at not just the Presentation and Purification 40 days after Our Lord’s birth, but also eight days after His birth when He was circumcised, His Most Precious Blood being shed for the first time – a Proto-Passion, which, in and of itself COULD have been enough to redeem the whole world, because even ONE DROP of Our Lord’s Blood, contains in Itself an infinity of His Mercy – in these acts of GENUINE humility, Jesus, Mary and Joseph provided the most profound witness to the Rule of Law, and a total rejection of the spirit of narcissistic elitism and the chaos that flows from it.

What do we see today?  We see an Antipope, falsely installed after an invalid attempted partial abdication, literally telling people that to obey all of the Ten Commandments is harmful to the Christian life. We see the same Antipope attempting to convince every human being that THEIR CONSCIENCE, their FEELINGS are higher than God Himself, and thus trump The Law, and that man, not God, is the final arbiter of truth and judge of sin.  And, as is always the case in paradigms in which The Rule of Law is destroyed, we see the Rule of Man, that is, a paradigm in which the biggest thug wins, a paradigm in which blackmail, coercion, threats, and eventually physical violence are the only rule, the only “law”, a paradigm in which there is no right to petiton for the redress of grievances, a paradigm in which the jackboot of the biggest thug stomps the human face forever.

And now in the two-four, we literally have the selfsame Antipope attempting to trick and coerce priests into BLESSING SODOMY QUA SODOMY. Peak chaos, or at least DARN CLOSE.

Think of every tin-pot dictator. Think of every bureaucrat hanger-on, slavishly defending their criminal overlords.  Think of every financial executive, stealing millions if not billions with zero consequence.  Think of every BigPharma capo and minion, knowingly poisoning humanity. Think of every mafia and racketeering organization. Think of the faggots committing their acts of sacreligious, desacratory sodomy inside the Vatican, and throughout the world. All of it, ultimately, to prove to themselves that they are an elite caste, above the law, accountable only to themselves and their perverse passions, demanding the BLESSING of their execrable acts and pride. 

Think of ourselves, and how many times we have convinced ourselves, in things both big and small, that “The Rules Don’t Apply To Me.”

The example set by Our Lord, Our Lady, and St. Joseph, which we celebrate today on The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord and Purification of the Blessed Virgin, is the antidote to elitism, narcissism, and the hellish chaos that flows from it, and shines a spotlight on The Rule of Law and its criticality.

I hope you never pray the Fourth Joyful Mystery of the Rosary the same ever again.

Happy Feast of The Rule of Law!

Barnhardt Podcast #201: The Bergoglio Crime Family

[Direct link to the MP3 file]

In this episode, Dr. Mazza joins Mark and Ann to discuss YET MORE intriguing evidence pertaining to the invalidity of Pope Benedict’s resignation and the Bergoglian Antipapcy – as if any more were needed. Ann refers to Antipope Bergoglio’s ghostwriter as “Touchme Fagnandez” several dozen times, and Dr. Ed keeps us in stitches with his Godfather improvs. We come to the firm conclusion that Cardinal Burke, like Tom Hagen, just isn’t “a wartime Consigliere.”

SCANDAL: Their Objective Is That You To Freely Choose To Commit Spiritual Suicide and Be Damned With Them

[Originally penned and posted 11 March ARSH 2016.  It is too prescient not to repost in light of Antipope Bergoglio’s continuing daily attack on believing Catholics, victims and whistleblowers of sodomite molesters and rapists, and his mocking contempt of all those tempted by sins against the 6th Commandment, trying to live chaste lives. Antipope Bergoglio, exactly like satan and all of the demons, wants you and everyone else in hell with him. He doesn’t want sodomites to repent because he himself is a sodomite (yes, it’s confirmed), and he wants to destroy as many others as he can out of pure demonic SPITE. Remember, the Venn Diagram of Jorge Bergoglio and The Papacy has ZERO OVERLAP, and the antidote to scandal is TRUTH. Pope Benedict never validly resigned. Happy Feast of St. Francis de Sales. –Alpha Bravo ’24]

I received many emails about the Gaslighting piece in the “Oh, so THAT’S what that person was doing to me…” vein.  Many people have experienced this in the workplace, which is not surprising.  A few recognized it in clergy and prelates – again, not surprising.  MANY recognized it in politicians.

“So, when these politicians [clerics, prelates, antipopes] get caught in baldfaced lies and even criminal activity, and seem to ENJOY the fact that they get away with it time after time, casting anyone who dares to even bring these things up as either “nuts” or simply bad people, you’re saying THAT is gaslighting?”

Um, yeah.  That’s EXACTLY what I’m saying.  The media today is, for all intents and purposes, one giant gaslighting operation.  Marginalize as “crazy”, or outright character assassinate anyone who doesn’t fall into mindless lockstep with the Washington DC – New World Order oligarchical machine [and the Bergoglian antipapacy].

The foundational point and hope I have in writing these essays (and the video) is on the micro level – to help people who have, are, or will be around Diabolical Narcissists to recognize and understand what is going on precisely so that the topic of today’s post does NOT come into play – and that is SCANDAL.

Official definitions:

Respect for the souls of others:

Scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil. The person who gives scandal becomes his neighbor’s tempter. He damages virtue and integrity; he may even draw his brother into spiritual death. Scandal is a grave offense if by deed or omission another is deliberately led into a grave offense.

The Catechism classifies scandal under the fifth commandment (Thou shalt not kill) and defines it as “an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil”. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus stated, “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.” 

The Church considers it a serious crime to cause another’s faith, hope and love to be weakened, especially if it is done to young people and the perpetrator is a person of authority such as a parent, teacher or priest.

This is such a massive topic, it is difficult to pare down.  However, what I want to focus on are the words in red above:  it a serious crime to cause another’s faith, hope and love to be weakened, and specifically on the micro, interpersonal level.

This is what Diabolical Narcissists do, they “kill” souls (hence the Fifth Commandment categorization) and why I am bothering with this series at all.  This is how Diabolical Narcissists are “Hell’s Mercenaries”.  Diabolical Narcissists, whether they believe in God or not, whether they believe in satan and hell or not, whether they believe in right or wrong, or even in the concepts of faith and hope, or in love, attack other human beings such that their target loses either partially or completely their own faith, hope and/or love.

This is a nuanced point.  Any person with even the tiniest sliver of faith, hope and/or love in their soul CAN BE SCANDALIZED.  A person does not have to be a devout Catholic to be scandalized.  Any time a human being, as the result of another person’s attitude or behavior, has faith, hope or love driven out of them, regardless of where the starting point was, scandal has occurred.  The target is farther from God after the scandal than they were before.

Think about it this way: satan and the demons cannot be scandalized.  They are already utterly devoid of love, they are completely faithless, and they have no hope because they know that their choice to reject God is irreversible.  They will never, ever see God.  You can’t make a demon more demonic.  Likewise, DNs are very hard to scandalize.  Have you ever asked yourself why it is that so much truly evil behavior in this day and age goes either uncontested or actively defended?  Why is it that people today just shrug things off – or even LAUGH THINGS OFF – that which would have spurred mass civil disobedience and protest within living memory?  Why is it that behavior that would have disqualified people from decent society just a few decades ago is now considered positively de rigueur?  Do you think it might have something to do with the ever-increasing concentration of DNs in our society?  Hmmmm….

Laughing it off.

DNs aren’t scandalized because if a given DN is almost completely purged of love, he is almost entirely gone as a human being – there is little to no love present to drive out.  Do you think that is a harsh thing for me to say?  Well, have you been to a wedding lately?  Ever heard St. Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 13 – the most common scripture reading at weddings?

If I speak with the tongues of men, and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.  — 1 Corinthians 13: 1-2

I find this to be one of the most utterly terrifying passages in scripture.  This is God Almighty, Existence Itself (I AM WHO AM), telling us that if we are devoid of love (charity), then we are NOTHING. Not that we are merely bad, but that we are NOTHING. Nihil sum. God can work with bad.  Not even God can work with “nothing”.  The fact that this “nothing person” is specifically described as a polyglot with encyclopedic knowledge and faith adds additional layers of terror.  This passage is speaking directly to and warning about Diabolical Narcissists – people who freely choose to purge themselves of love.

There are multiple ways that scandal can be caused.  I suppose the most common way that people consider is when someone does something evil and gets away with it, thus convincing those around them that the evil action wasn’t really so evil, and even that others should do it too.  This would seem to be the primary tactic with regards to children – specifically with regards to sins of the flesh.

But what I want to focus on is the little-discussed, but perhaps more common species of scandal, especially with regards to Diabolical Narcissists and their targets: disappointment that leads to despair. Put another way, DNs scandalize their targets by causing them to simply give up… on love.  All love, not just romantic love.  We’re talking brotherly love for other human beings, and even the love of God – which, not coincidentally, are exactly the kinds of love that are needed in order to be a Priest or Religious (monk, nun, sister).

When a DN finds a target, grooms them, and then lays into them, the targets often report a “soul-crushing” disappointment.  We aren’t talking about disappointment in the sense of “Baskin-Robbins didn’t have Jamoca Almond Fudge last night.”  We are talking about disappointment so intense that it causes a person to despair, lose their faith, or simply throw up their hands and say, “Screw it.  From now on, I don’t give a crap about other people.  I’m just going to live for myself in the moment and do whatever makes me feel good, because nothing matters anyway.”

Whenever a person says, “Screw it…” like this, a new Diabolical Narcissist is born.  And the main vector of this transformation was not an actual demon.  It was a human being.  In fact, the vast, vast majority of the “dirty work”, that is the actual crushing of human souls, is done by human beings.  Why?  Because believe it or not, human beings are much, much more effective at actually driving other people into despair and spiritual death.  Consider this: what if, right now, an actual demon manifested in front of you.  You could see it, in all of its hideousness, with your own eyes just as clearly as you are seeing these words on your screen.  Now, what if this demon, hideous and repulsive, starting berating you.  “LOOK AT YOU! I hate you! I can’t stand you! You’re stupid! You make me sick! You’re a terrible person! F*** YOU!”

Well, I reckon most people would NOT have their soul crushed to know that a demon hates them, right?  You’d have to be one massively insecure piece of work to be all broken up because a denizen of hell didn’t hold you in high esteem.  I mean, dude, it’s a demon.  Of course it hates you. Duh.  That is its nature.  To be hated by a demon is no cause for offense.  Heck, if a demon DIDN’T hate you, that would be cause for serious concern, right?

Now, consider the same scenario, except it isn’t a demon hissing and spitting those words at you, but rather your mother, your father, your spouse, your fiancee, your teacher, your boss, your priest, a man you mistakenly believe to be the pope, or your friend.  THAT packs a punch no demon can ever, ever deliver.  Only human beings can wound each other like this.  Many, many people have been driven to despair in this way.  Many people have, as a misguided attempt at self-defense from situations like this, freely chosen to purge their own souls of love.  And then, as St. Paul said, they too become “nothing”. And satan and the demons squeal with delight – another soul to join their ranks in hell, never to see God.

And so, as strangely awful as it may seem, if you are still capable of being disappointed by other people’s terrible behavior, this is actually a good thing.  If someone has ever broken your heart and it still hurts, take comfort.  This means you’re still human, you still have love in your heart.  Only the loveless are numb.  Beg God to keep you in pain for the rest of your life on this mortal coil rather than ever, ever allowing you to descend into the numb, loveless void and death of Diabolical Narcissism.

Diabolical Narcissists don’t mourn.  Mourning requires love.  Diabolical Narcissists don’t hunger and thirst for righteousness – they are indifferent, which is the opposite of charity.  They shrug their shoulders.  They laugh at atrocity. In perfect contrast, Our Blessed Lord and Savior, during His Agony in the Garden, and throughout His Sorrowful Passion, was (and is) disappointed by us.  Terribly, terribly disappointed.  What He is NOT, is scandalized.  The infinite ocean of His love for us is not reduced by one drop by all of our sins.  Never for one second did Our Lord think, “Man, I just give up on you people…”

This is what is meant by the statement, “There is nothing we can do to cause God to stop loving us.” Even if we choose to hate Him and reject Him completely and thus choose hell and eternal separation, even then, He will still love us.  We are called to do the same with each other.  We should strive to be just like Him.  Be disappointed, by all means.  But do not let yourself be scandalized (she preached to herself).  Because, as St. Francis de Sales said:

“…those who take scandal- who allow scandals to destroy faith- are guilty of spiritual suicide.”

Disappointed, yes. Scandalized, no.

Disappointed, yes. Scandalized, no.

Feast of St. John Chrysostom: Our Pleasure Will Know No Bounds

This goes out to all of the GENUINELY married folks out there. You don’t get much encouragement these days, as everyone’s focus has been shifted by Antipope Bergoglio and the Antichurch to sodomy and transvestitism. But remember, through the words of St. John Chrysostom, who died in ARSH 407, how much Our Lord loves you and your sacramental marriage, and how great you can be within the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

“Tell her that you love her more than your own life, because this present life is nothing, and that your only hope is that the two of you pass through this life in such a way that in the world to come you will be united in perfect love.  Say to her, ‘Our time here is brief and fleeting, but if we are pleasing to God, we can exchange this life for the Kingdom to come. Then we will be perfectly one both with Christ and each other, and our pleasure will know no bounds.’

…Remind one another that nothing in life is to be feared, except offending God.  If your marriage is like this, it will rival the holiest of monks.”

St. John Chrysostom, ARSH 349-407, speaking to young men on marriage
