Monsters of Modernism, Monsters of Modernity
The twin, interrelated revolutions against Christ the King and His true Church continue to create monsters who are more boldly violent against the Divine Plan that God Himself instituted to effect man's return to Him through that true Church, the Catholic Church.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who knows exactly what he is doing in his "unofficial" interviews as he mouths one revolutionary canard of Modernism after another to make it impossible for any "conservatives" within the ranks of the counterfeit church of conciliarism to oppose him, has proclaimed man as the "king of the universe" in an address he delivered on Saturday, July 12, 2014, the Feast of Saint Gualbert, to an international symposium that had been convened to discuss his own Modernist exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, November 26, 2013 (see Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part one, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part two, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part three, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part four, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part five, Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part six and Jorge and Oscar's False Gospel of False Joy, part seven):
The Pope thanked those present for their work and their initiatives “to restore balance to this imbalanced situation and to recover mankind, restoring him to the centre of reflection and the centre of life. He is the king of the universe!” he exclaimed. “And this is not theology, it is philosophy and human reality”. (Jorge Proclaims as King of the Universe.)
A ready antidote to this can be provided in Pope Leo XIII's Tametsi Futura Prospcientibus, November 1, 1900:
The world has heard enough of the so-called "rights of man." Let it hear something of the rights of God. That the time is suitable is proved by the very general revival of religious feeling already referred to, and especially that devotion towards Our Saviour of which there are so many indications, and which, please God, we shall hand on to the New Century as a pledge of happier times to come. But as this consummation cannot be hoped for except by the aid of divine grace, let us strive in prayer, with united heart and voice, to incline Almighty God unto mercy, that He would not suffer those to perish whom He had redeemed by His Blood. May He look down in mercy upon this world, which has indeed sinned much, but which has also suffered much in expiation! And, embracing in His loving-kindness all races and classes of mankind, may He remember His own words: "I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to Myself" (John xii., 32). (Pope Leo XIII, Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus, November 1, 1900.)
Pope Leo XIII also warned us to judge the Judeo-Masonic tree of Modernity by its rotten fruit:
Would that all men would judge of the tree by its fruit, and would acknowledge the seed and origin of the evils which press upon us, and of the dangers that are impending! We have to deal with a deceitful and crafty enemy, who, gratifying the ears of people and of princes, has ensnared them by smooth speeches and by adulation. Ingratiating themselves with rulers under a pretense of friendship, the Freemasons have endeavored to make them their allies and powerful helpers for the destruction of the Christian name; and that they might more strongly urge them on, they have, with determined calumny, accused the Church of invidiously contending with rulers in matters that affect their authority and sovereign power. Having, by these artifices, insured their own safety and audacity, they have begun to exercise great weight in the government of States: but nevertheless they are prepared to shake the foundations of empires, to harass the rulers of the State, to accuse, and to cast them out, as often as they appear to govern otherwise than they themselves could have wished. In like manner, they have by flattery deluded the people. Proclaiming with a loud voice liberty and public prosperity, and saying that it was owing to the Church and to sovereigns that the multitude were not drawn out of their unjust servitude and poverty, they have imposed upon the people, and, exciting them by a thirst for novelty, they have urged them to assail both the Church and the civil power. Nevertheless, the expectation of the benefits which was hoped for is greater than the reality; indeed, the common people, more oppressed than they were before, are deprived in their misery of that solace which, if things had been arranged in a Christian manner, they would have had with ease and in abundance. But, whoever strive against the order which Divine Providence has constituted pay usually the penalty of their pride, and meet with affliction and misery where they rashly hoped to find all things prosperous and in conformity with their desires. (Pope Leo XIII, Humanum Genus, April 20, 1884.)
"Modern" man has indeed striven against the order which Divine Providence has constituted. The Modernists of the counterfeit church of conciliarism have made their "reconciliation" with the rebellion against the Divine Plan, scoffing at the mention of the Social Reign of Christ the King as "obsolete" while endorsing falsehoods such as "religious liberty" and "separation of Church and State" that have been rejected by true pope after true pope.
Pope Leo XIII also explained the consequences of world that had overthrown the Social Kingship of OUr Blesesed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ:
From this it may clearly be seen what consequences are to be expected from that false pride which, rejecting our Saviour's Kingship, places man at the summit of all things and declares that human nature must rule supreme. And yet, this supreme rule can neither be attained nor even defined. The rule of Jesus Christ derives its form and its power from Divine Love: a holy and orderly charity is both its foundation and its crown. Its necessary consequences are the strict fulfilment of duty, respect of mutual rights, the estimation of the things of heaven above those of earth, the preference of the love of God to all things. But this supremacy of man, which openly rejects Christ, or at least ignores Him, is entirely founded upon selfishness, knowing neither charity nor selfdevotion. Man may indeed be king, through Jesus Christ: but only on condition that he first of all obey God, and diligently seek his rule of life in God's law. By the law of Christ we mean not only the natural precepts of morality and the Ancient Law, all of which Jesus Christ has perfected and crowned by His declaration, explanation and sanction; but also the rest of His doctrine and His own peculiar institutions. Of these the chief is His Church. Indeed whatsoever things Christ has instituted are most fully contained in His Church. Moreover, He willed to perpetuate the office assigned to Him by His Father by means of the ministry of the Church so gloriously founded by Himself. On the one hand He confided to her all the means of men's salvation, on the other He most solemnly commanded men to be subject to her and to obey her diligently, and to follow her even as Himself: "He that heareth you, heareth Me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth Me" (Luke x, 16). Wherefore the law of Christ must be sought in the Church. Christ is man's "Way"; the Church also is his "Way"-Christ of Himself and by His very nature, the Church by His commission and the communication of His power. Hence all who would find salvation apart from the Church, are led astray and strive in vain.
As with individuals, so with nations. These, too, must necessarily tend to ruin if they go astray from "The Way." The Son of God, the Creator and Redeemer of mankind, is King and Lord of the earth, and holds supreme dominion over men, both individually and collectively. "And He gave Him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes, and tongues shall serve Him" (Daniel vii., 14). "I am appointed King by Him . . . I will give Thee the Gentiles for Thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession" (Psalm ii., 6, 8). Therefore the law of Christ ought to prevail in human society and be the guide and teacher of public as well as of private life. Since this is so by divine decree, and no man may with impunity contravene it, it is an evil thing for the common weal wherever Christianity does not hold the place that belongs to it. When Jesus Christ is absent, human reason fails, being bereft of its chief protection and light, and the very end is lost sight of, for which, under God's providence, human society has been built up. This end is the obtaining by the members of society of natural good through the aid of civil unity, though always in harmony with the perfect and eternal good which is above nature. But when men's minds are clouded, both rulers and ruled go astray, for they have no safe line to follow nor end to aim at. (Pope Leo XIII, Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus, November 1, 1900.)
Jorge Mario Bergoglio proclaimed man to be the "king of the universe." Yet it is that Pope Leo explained above why this utterly false and represents a diabolical inversion of the simple that Christ the King as He has revealed Himself to us exclusively through His true Church is to be the center of the lives of every and every nation:
From this it may clearly be seen what consequences are to be expected from that false pride which, rejecting our Saviour's Kingship, places man at the summit of all things and declares that human nature must rule supreme. And yet, this supreme rule can neither be attained nor even defined. The rule of Jesus Christ derives its form and its power from Divine Love: a holy and orderly charity is both its foundation and its crown. Its necessary consequences are the strict fulfilment of duty, respect of mutual rights, the estimation of the things of heaven above those of earth, the preference of the love of God to all things. But this supremacy of man, which openly rejects Christ, or at least ignores Him, is entirely founded upon selfishness, knowing neither charity nor selfdevotion. Man may indeed be king, through Jesus Christ: but only on condition that he first of all obey God, and diligently seek his rule of life in God's law. By the law of Christ we mean not only the natural precepts of morality and the Ancient Law, all of which Jesus Christ has perfected and crowned by His declaration, explanation and sanction; but also the rest of His doctrine and His own peculiar institutions. (Pope Leo XIII, Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus, November 1, 1900.)
Man was installed as "king of the universe," Jorge, when Martin Luther overthrew the Social Reign of Christ the King, justifying the separation of Church and State with these dreadful words:
"Assuredly," said Luther, "a prince can be a Christian, but it is not as a Christian that he ought to govern. As a ruler, he is not called a Christian, but a prince. The man is Christian, but his function does not concern his religion." (as quoted in Father Denis Fahey in The Mystical City of Christ in the Modern World.)
Well, let's take a brief look at what the world looks like today four hundred ninety-seven years after Martin Luther posted his ninety-five theses on the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, on October 31, 1517.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, meet Kermit Gosnell:
Abortion activists worship abortion. It is sacred to them. Nothing on earth, according to the faithful, should ever desecrate the “holy ground” upon which this ritual is performed over 1,000 times a day. Even if that ground is soaked with the blood of women killed and maimed and babies brutally murdered after being born alive.
That was Philadelphia’s “House of Horrors”, run by millionaire abortionist Kermit Gosnell. For 17 years his unimaginably squalid clinic went uninspected by state officials. Nestled in a community surrounded by churches, colleges and next door to an elementary school, the innocuously named “Women’s Medical Society” was a cesspool of filth, blood-stained equipment, crumbling walls, and body parts in jars, bags and bottles.
Gosnell proudly displayed jars of severed babies’ feet as trophies.
The Philadelphia District Attorney, R. Seth Williams (who is a Democrat), in a nearly 300 page Grand Jury Report details Gosnell’s “House of Horrors” on 3801 Lancaster in Philadelphia. “My comprehension of the English language can’t adequately describe the barbaric nature of Dr. Gosnell,” D.A. Williams said of the unspeakable conditions of the clinic that was inspected by the pro-abortion National Abortion Federation in recent years but never reported to authorities.
The best reporting on this is actually by a team of creative professionals from Pennsylvania who captured this gruesome story in one of the best issue-oriented documentaries I’ve ever seen: 3801 Lancaster (see video at bottom of article).
And as if murdering babies born alive (by severing their spinal cords with scissors) wasn’t enough, Gosnell, who is black, made sure that his white “patients” were placed in the cleaner rooms while all others were placed in the filthy rooms. This way, according to the Grand Jury Report, it would be less likely that the white women would report the abortionist or the foul clinic.
Gosnell had been getting away with utter disregard for the lives of women and children for years. I wrote about his “supercoil” abortion experiment on poor, black women bussed in from Chicago back in 1972. He seriously injured many of them, causing one to get an emergency hysterectomy. He was never held accountable for their injuries nor the illegal abortions he performed (that were filmed by a New York film crew)!
But Gosnell isn’t the exception. He is the rule.That is the natural result of abortion clinics being able, unlike any other “medical” facility, to operate in the dark. Pro-abortion activists and multi-million dollar abortion lobbying groups like NARAL, National Abortion Federation, NOW and Planned Parenthood fight against every common sense protection to regulate abortion clinics and ensure safety to, at least, the women having abortions. Of course, death is always the outcome for the unborn child, and increasingly for women who seek these “safe” and “legal” abortions.
Ask Tonya Reaves’ family. She died from a botched abortion in a Planned Parenthood clinic as her abortionist allowed her to bleed for 5.5 hours without ever calling 911. Protecting abortion was more important than protecting, and saving, her life.
Abortionists across the country have been charged with murder, illegal drug trafficking, botched abortions, rape, and millions worth of Medicaid fraud. When your business centers around killing human life, corruption in any other area is easy.
Abortionist Steve Brigham had his license revoked or suspended in numerous states. But that never stops an abortionist. State medical boards show little to no oversight or concern for abortionists who simply set up shop in another state, continuing their killing for profit. He was charged with multiple counts of murder of viable babies in secret late term abortion clinics, one of a dozen clinics he ran (many found in violation of health codes).
His cohort, fellow abortionist Nicola Riley was also charged with murder for performing illegal late term abortions. Her license was suspended in Maryland. She moved back to Utah to continue performing abortions there.
Georgia millionaire abortionist Dr. Tyrone Malloy was indicted by a Georgia grand jury of Medicaid Fraud. He killed a 23 year old woman due to a botched abortion. The State Board of Medical Examiners fined him $10,000 and allowed him to continue doing abortions.
Famed late-term abortionist, George Tiller, performed many illegal abortions in conjunction with an illegal financial relationship with another “doctor” who approved the abortions. In Kansas, another doctor had to confirm that the abortion was needed, but that medical professional could not have any ties to the abortionist. Tiller has been deified by Planned Parenthood and the abortion lobby. Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood, praised the abortionist who claimed to have performed over 80,000 abortions and told other pro-abortion doctors to be “more like George”.
Continuing in the vein of infamy, Planned Parenthood has been taken to court in state after state (most recently Iowa and Texas) for millions and millions of Medicaid fraud. But this should come at no surprise. There are no “ethics” in a billion dollar industry that endangers, and kills, human life daily.
Zero women and children have been harmed in the nation’s 2000 pregnancy care centers. Millions, since Roe, have been helped, cared for, loved and financially, emotionally, and medically provided for.
However, over 55 million children and 400 women have died inside abortion clinics, at least of the ones actually reported. We may never know as long as mainstream media plays the role of abortion advocate instead of public informer. (Kermit Gosnell and His House of Horrors.)
Killers in white coats abound in this country and around the world, and they go unmolested by the civil law because they are acting in complete accord with that law, which is in full violation of the binding precepts of the Fifth Commandment.
Although those who claimed that the killing of innocent babies in the later stages of their development inside the sanctuaries of their mothers' wombs was "extreme" the truth is that each and every act of baby-killing, no matter the methods employed or the age of the preborn child killed, is the same crime morally before God
The existence of chemical and surgical baby-killing under cover of the civil law is the logical, inexorable result of the overthrow of the Social Reign of Christ the King wrought by the Protestant Revolt and cemented in place by the rise of Judeo-Masonry and the scores of naturalistic "philosophies" and ideologies spawned thereby. There is no other way to retard this evil than by praying and working for the conversion of the United States of America to the true Faith, something that is, of course, reject by the conciliar revolutionaries as thoroughly unnecessary, if not actually opposed to what they think and contend is Catholic teaching.
Behold, Jorge, "man as king of the universe."
Behold!
And this, you see, is what makes it so difficult for the likes of allegedly "pro-life" and "devout" Catholics to to accept the authentic teaching of Holy Mother Church concerning the obligation of the civil state to recognize her as the true religion and to accord her the favor and the protect of the laws. How can ordinary Catholics accept and then live in accordance with the truth when they have never learned it?
Or, to put it another and much more blunt way, how do we think we are going to fight the inexorable march of the naturalists of the statist variety such as Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro when there have been figures of Antichrist serving as alleged "popes," including Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who continues to rail against his mythical enemies, of what is seen by most people in the world to be the Catholic Church, figures of Antichrist who give their "blessings" to statists even though they, the statists, may happen to support baby-killing?
It is very simple: those who attack the Deposit of Faith as they wear the vestments and claim to hold the offices as shepherds of the Catholic Church make it more possible for those who reject the Faith in Its entirety to prevail in the world. This is really, really simple to understand.
Morever, as mentioned in Dialogue, Anyone? last week, Jorge Mario Bergoglio is oblvious to the simple fact that wars abound in the world all the more when men are steeped in the ravages of Original Sin and unrepented Mortal Sins. The Argentine Apostate calls for "dialogue" even now as the Worthy Successors of Herod the Great and the Moral Monsters who run the Zionist State of Israel demonstrate themselves repeatedly to be racialists who consider all non-Jews, including Palesitian Arabs, whether Christian or Mohammedan, to be sub-humans whose lives are subject to wanton attack, yes, even upon civilian population centers, whenever Hamas militants attack Israel.
Dialogue?
The Zionists and the Mohammedans amongst the Arabs need to be converted to the Faith, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order.
Let's take a look at how the very land where Christ the King Himself walked in the very Flesh looks right now in the midst of a planned Israeli takeover of Gaza:
TEL AVIV — Even as Israel and Hamas agreed to suspend hostilities briefly on Thursday at the request of the United Nations, a senior Israeli military official said that his government was increasingly likely to order a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip that it had hoped to avoid.
Though Israel initially set limited goals of halting the rocket assaults against it and degrading Hamas, the Islamist movement that dominates Gaza, the group’s tenacity and surprisingly deep arsenal have led to widespread calls to expand the mission. The military official said only “boots on the ground” could eradicate terrorism from Gaza and indicated that Israel was even considering a long-term reoccupation of the coastal territory.
But with the Palestinian death toll reaching 214 on Wednesday, Israel and the Gaza militants agreed to end the violence for five hours on Thursday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For Israel, it was a move that might help mitigate international criticism of rising civilian casualties, and that carried little cost: The military warned that if Hamas or other groups “exploited” the “humanitarian window” to attack Israel, it would “respond firmly and decisively.”
Hours earlier, Israel called up 8,000 reservists in addition to the 42,000 troops already mobilized. With no progress reported from Cairo, where President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority had gone to discuss terms to end the fighting, Israel’s airstrikes intensified despite what the military official acknowledged were diminishing returns.
“Every day that passes makes the possibility more evident,” the military official said of a ground campaign. The official, who has been briefing Israeli ministers responsible for strategic decisions and spoke on the condition of anonymity under military protocol, said that his assessment was based on “the signals I get” and that the likelihood of an invasion was “very high.”
“We can hurt them very hard from the air but not get rid of them,” he told a handful of international journalists in a briefing at the military’s Tel Aviv headquarters. An Israeli takeover of Gaza would not be “a huge challenge,” he said, estimating that it would take “a matter of days or weeks.” But he added that preventing a more dangerous deterioration in the territory would require a presence “of many months.”
The stark assessment came as Israel bombed scores of targets, many of them homes in northern Gaza, after warning 100,000 residents via leaflets, text messages and automated telephone calls to evacuate by 8 a.m. Palestinian health officials said that more than 1,500 people had been injured since the Israeli operation began July 8, and that several young children, including four boys on a beach, were killed in strikes on Wednesday.
The lone Israeli casualty, a 37-year-old man killed by a mortar round as he distributed food to soldiers Tuesday night near the Erez crossing into Gaza, was eulogized by Israel’s president-elect, Reuven Rivlin, at an afternoon funeral.
In Washington, President Obama called for both sides to exercise restraint, and Secretary of State John Kerry continued making phone calls to the region. “The Israeli people and the Palestinian people don’t want to live like this,” Mr. Obama told reporters. “We will use all of our diplomatic resources and relationships to support efforts of closing a deal on a cease-fire.”
Mr. Obama reiterated his support for Israel while expressing sorrow over civilian casualties. “Israel has a right to defend itself from rocket attacks,” he said. “But over the past two weeks, we’ve all been heartbroken by the violence, especially the death and injury of so many innocent civilians in Gaza.”

The monstrous, murderous occupation of the Holy Land by the Zionists has been enabled by one American presidential administration after another ever since the Six Day War forty-seven years ago now. It is not without justification that Patrick Joseph Buchanan termed the Congress of the United States of America as the "occupied territory" of the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). No one within the ranks of the organized crime family of the false opposite of the naturalist "right" ever speaks out in opposition to the amoral, disproportionate Israeli response to Hamas attacks on innocent civilians in Israel, attacks that can in no way be justified, of course, that includes the killing of over two hundred innocent Palestinians as thosands more are displaced from their homes and as the whole region of Gaza is now being invaded by the agency of the "civilization of love" known as the Israeli Defense Forces:
Netanyahu's office said he instructed the army to go ahead after Hamas rejected an Egyptian cease-fire plan earlier in the week and after Hamas militants tried to infiltrate into Israel through a tunnel from Gaza earlier Thursday.
lt added Operation "Defensive Edge" would continue" until its goal is reached - to restore sustainable quiet and calm to the Israeli citizens while severely hurting and dismantling Hamas infrastructure as well as other terrorist organization in Gaza."
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, said that the operation is open-ended.
"We will be striking the infrastructure," he said. "We will be striking the operatives in order to safeguard the civilians of the state of Israel especially issues to do with tunneling, that was exemplified earlier today."
Thousands of Israeli soldiers had massed on the border with Gaza in recent days, waiting for the order to go in.
Earlier Thursday, Hamas militants and Israel exchanged rocket fire following the expiration of a brief cease-fire that allowed Gazans to stock up on supplies.
The U.N.-brokered five-hour lull in fighting gave residents of the Gaza Strip time to crowd into stores and vegetable markets after more than a week of being mostly holed up at home for fear of airstrikes. Gaza City, a virtual ghost town for the past 10 days, returned to apparent normalcy within minutes of the start of the truce. Streets were jammed, motorists honked horns and Hamas police directed traffic at busy intersections.
But the streets emptied out quickly after the cease-fire expired, with Palestinian militants firing more than 50 rockets at Israel, including a heavy salvo toward the Tel Aviv area that sent people running for cover, the Israeli military said. The military said a rocket fired from Gaza struck the city of Ashkelon at precisely 3 p.m. local time (8 a.m. ET) as the pause in military activity ended. No injuries were reported.
Israel responded with a wave of eight airstrikes, including one that killed two boys and a girl ages 8 to 10 from the same family in Gaza City, Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Kidra said. (Israeli military launches ground operation in Gaza Strip against Hamas.)
The atheist who is the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Nick Clegg, had more natural courage to denounce Israel's attacks on Gaza than any leader in the United States of America and than anyone associated with the conciliar Vatican, men who live in fear of offending the Jews, but not God, at all times:
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has lashed out at the Gaza military operation, urging Israel to cease its offensive.
Speaking in his weekly phone-in program on radio LBC, Clegg said that Israel had gone too far in its attacks after four Palestinian children were killed on a beach by Israeli shells.
He also accused Israel of imposing a “disproportionate form of collective punishment” on to Gaza citizens, which would lead to “truly unimaginable” and “unacceptable” humanitarian crisis.
The statements echo the guidelines set out by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to define breaches of international law.
In a paper defining international conventions during war, the ICRC classifies collective punishment as a war crime, as it constitutes ‘cruel treatment’.
"Both indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks can be likened to attacks on civilians if the perpetrator was aware that this would be the effect of the attack in the ordinary course of events" the report states.
The death toll from the Israeli military operation has now climbed past 200 Palestinians, 70 percent of whom were civilians. Thirty percent were children, according to the UN office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNCHA). Fifty-two people were killed on Saturday alone.
By contrast, One Israeli civilian died as a result of the Palestinian offensive, which included 1,200 largely ineffectual rockets.
While Clegg affirmed his belief that Israel has a right to defend itself “in the face of violence” he hoped that the five-hour humanitarian ceasefire, which began on Thursday morning, would help ease the current attacks.
"Regardless of which side you are on in this ancient bloody conflict, no one can feel indifferent to the spectacle of this overcrowded, desperate sliver of land in Gaza, where so many thousands of people are suffering” he told listeners.
The deputy PM is the first UK government official to criticize Israel’s conduct since the Gaza offensive began. It is in stark contrast with Prime Minister David Cameron, who earlier this week asserted Israel’s “right to defend itself.”
Meanwhile, Cameron signed up to a European Union statement last night, calling for both sides to "de-escalate the situation, to end the violence, to end the suffering of the civilian populations notably by allowing access to humanitarian assistance, and return to calm." (Israel attacks are collective punishment!’ Nick Clegg slams Gaza.)
The irony here is palapable. The very people who reject any idea of collective guilt for the Crufixion of Our Lord impose colllective guilt on those they hold responsible for crimes that, although unjustifiable morally, have been committed by fellow non-Christians in response to the State of Israel's bloodthirsty, oppressive policies that have been enabled by the United States of America for so very long.
There is another irony here in that it was the plan of the British Prime Minister, Arthur Balfour, to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine out of the southern part of Syria that had been under the sway of the Ottoman Empire for centuries:
Foreign Office
November 2nd, 1917
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you. on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet:
His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours,
Arthur James Balfour (The Balfour Declaration.)
Ah, yes, the joys of "man" as "the king of the universe."
So much for that "prayer for peace" in the Vatican Gardens on June 8, 2014, Pentecost Sunday (see Antichrist Has Shown Us His Calling Card? Do You Care?.)
The Zionists view all non-Jews, especially the Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular, as sub-humans. All that Jorge Mario Bergoglio can do is to call for more "dialogue" between those who hate each other. Indeed, the conciliar "popes" have reaffirmed adherents of Talmudism and Mohammedanism in their false religions, thereby signifying that those who deny the Sacred Divinity of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ are nevertheless favored by God and are not in jeopardy of losing their souls for all eternity because of their unbelief.
Very few Catholics alive today understand that the Catholic Church opposed the resettlement of Jews in Palestine precisely because God had expelled most of them from the Holy Land in 70 A.D. as a punishment for their not responding to the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ after they were given a thirty-seven year period of mercy after His Passion, Death, Resurrection and Ascension and the beginning of Holy Mother Church's missionary work on Pentecost Sunday. Foreign to the minds of most Catholics, imbued as they are with revolutionary slogans and awash in the sentimentality that must reign supreme when man is "king of the universe," are these words that Pope Saint Pius X spoke without any hestiation or equivocation to Theodore Herzl, the founder of International Zionism, on January 25, 1904, the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle:
POPE: We are unable to favor this movement [of Zionism]. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem—but we could never sanction it. The ground of Jerusalem, if it were not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot answer you otherwise. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people.
HERZL: [The conflict between Rome and Jerusalem, represented by the one and the other of us, was once again under way. At the outset I tried to be conciliatory. I said my little piece. . . . It didn’t greatly impress him. Jerusalem was not to be placed in Jewish hands.] And its present status, Holy Father?
POPE: I know, it is disagreeable to see the Turks in possession of our Holy Places. We simply have to put up with it. But to sanction the Jewish wish to occupy these sites, that we cannot do.
HERZL: [I said that we based our movement solely on the sufferings of the Jews, and wished to put aside all religious issues].
POPE: Yes, but we, but I as the head of the Catholic Church, cannot do this. One of two things will likely happen. Either the Jews will retain their ancient faith and continue to await the Messiah whom we believe has already appeared—in which case they are denying the divinity of Jesus and we cannot assist them. Or else they will go there with no religion whatever, and then we can have nothing at all to do with them. The Jewish faith was the foundation of our own, but it has been superceded by the teachings of Christ, and we cannot admit that it still enjoys any validity. The Jews who should have been the first to acknowledge Jesus Christ have not done so to this day.
HERZL: [It was on the tip of my tongue to remark, “It happens in every family: no one believes in his own relative.” But, instead, I said:] Terror and persecution were not precisely the best means for converting the Jews. [His reply had an element of grandeur in its simplicity:]
POPE: Our Lord came without power. He came in peace. He persecuted no one. He was abandoned even by his apostles. It was only later that he attained stature. It took three centuries for the Church to evolve. The Jews therefore had plenty of time in which to accept his divinity without duress or pressure. But they chose not to do so, and they have not done it yet.
HERZL: But, Holy Father, the Jews are in a terrible plight. I do not know if Your Holiness is aware of the full extent of their tragedy. We need a land for these harried people.
POPE: Must it be Jerusalem?
HERZL: We are not asking for Jerusalem, but for Palestine—for only the secular land.
POPE: We cannot be in favor of it.
[Editor Lowenthal interjects here] Here unrelenting replacement theology is plainly upheld as the norm of the Roman Catholic Church. Further, this confession, along with the whole tone of the Pope in his meeting with Herzl, indicates the perpetuation of a doctrinal emphasis that has resulted in centuries of degrading behavior toward the Jews. However, this response has the “grandeur” of total avoidance of that which Herzl had intimated, namely that the abusive reputation of Roman Catholicism toward the Jews was unlikely to foster conversion. Further, if, “It took three centuries for the Church to evolve,” it was that very same period of time that it took for the Church to consolidate and launch its thrust of anti-Semitism through the following centuries.
HERZL: Does Your Holiness know the situation of the Jews?
POPE: Yes, from my days in Mantua, where there are Jews. I have always been in friendly relations with Jews. Only the other evening two Jews were here to see me. There are other bonds than those of religion: social intercourse, for example, and philanthropy. Such bonds we do not refuse to maintain with the Jews. Indeed we also pray for them, that their spirit see the light. This very day the Church is celebrating the feast of an unbeliever who became converted in a miraculous manner—on the road to Damascus. And so if you come to Palestine and settle your people there, we will be ready with churches and priests to baptize all of you. (Marvin Lowenthal, The Diaries of Theodore Herzl.)
For Jorge and his band of conciliar revolutionaries, of course, the violent realities of the Zionism and Mohammedanism must be denied. After all, man is "the king of the universe," and he can "find a way" to live as "brothers" with others. Conciliarism's world view is Judeo-Masonry just as much as its theology is the rationalism of Protestantism.
Monsters of Modernity have not only been enabled by the monsters of Modernism. No, the monsters of Modernity have been greeted with smiles, hugs and kisses by the ever-humble Jorge Mario Bergoglio. The Argentine Apostate does not care that nation after nation is awash in the blood of the innocent and that rank perversity is celebrated in the world and in his own false church under the banners of "diversity," "tolerance," "compassion," 'human rights" and "non-judgmentalness." Jorge even supports the eradication of all effort to secure national borders as he speaks constantly in favor of the "rights" of those who want to move from one country to another without any regard for the legitimate sovereignty of nations and their Natural Law right to assure a just process of immigration.
Indeed, waves of exploited children, some of whom are given contraception during their dangerous trek into the United States from Central America, are being welcomed by the authorities of the United States of America in full violation of just immigration laws, thereby effectively providing them with amnesty that will never be taken away from them. Many of these children are being sent to live with "relatives," whether or not they are such and regardless for whether they are illegal aliens themselves, while outright criminals and gang members go along for the ride in some instances.
This exercise in monstrous social engineering, which is being used by President Barack Husein Obama/Barry Soetoro to change the demographics of the United States of America in an irreversible way, is being celebrated by Jorge Mario Bergoglio and his "hierarchy" here in this country, some of whom, including the retired Roger "Cardinal" Mahony, have been in the vanguard of supporting the "right" of illegal entry in full violation of a nation's Natural Law right of sovereignty and the duties of its leaders to assure a reasonable and just means of immigration that takes into account the situation of those seeking to migrate legally and the need to maintain public health and order domestically (for a discussion of the issue of illegal immigration, please read Good Catholic Common Sense Must Prevail, part 1 and Good Catholic Common Sense Must Prevail, part 2). Some of the adults now coming into this country illegally will wind up voting in the biennial farce called national elections on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, and those who oppose their doing so will be condemned as "hateful bigots" just as much as those who oppose the agenda of the Homosexual Collective that is being celebrated widely even inside the walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Bank of the Tiber River.
As Pope Leo XIII noted in Tametsi Futura Prospicentibus, November 1, 1900, public life is indeed stained with crime as a result of the overthrow of the Social Reign of Christ the King:
Once the idea of the authority of God as the Judge of right and wrong is forgotten, law must necessarily lose its primary authority and justice must perish: and these are the two most powerful and most necessary bonds of society. Similarly, once the hope and expectation of eternal happiness is taken away, temporal goods will be greedily sought after. Every man will strive to secure the largest share for himself. Hence arise envy, jealousy, hatred. The consequences are conspiracy, anarchy, nihilism. There is neither peace abroad nor security at home. Public life is stained with crime. (Pope Leo XIII, Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus, November 1, 1900.)
Those who do not want to see that we are living in the time of the Great Apostasy will probably never be convinced that this is the case until the monsters of Modernity, full enabled by the monsters of Modernism, came to take them away during a time of some state-declared "national emergency" or simply for being Catholic.
Preposterous?
Those who know the history of the first three hundred years of Holy Mother Church and who know how millions of her children have suffered at the hands of tyrants throughout the centuries thereafter understand that this is not only not preposterous, it is precisely what is going to happen sooner or later.
What can we do?
Offer up the chastisements of the moment as consecrated slaves of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Pray and sacrifice in reparation for our own sins and those of the whole world.
Pray for the conversion of sinners, starting with our own daily conversion away from sin and disordered self-love.
Stop being agitated by the news and by "twitter" feeds as one prays more Rosaries to console God and prepares onself for the terrible moment of the Particular Judgment.
Pope Leo XIII gave us our marching orders in Sapientiae Christianae, January 10, 1890:
But in this same matter, touching Christian faith, there are other duties whose exact and religious observance, necessary at all times in the interests of eternal salvation, become more especially so in these our days. Amid such reckless and widespread folly of opinion, it is, as We have said, the office of the Church to undertake the defense of truth and uproot errors from the mind, and this charge has to be at all times sacredly observed by her, seeing that the honor of God and the salvation of men are confided to her keeping. But, when necessity compels, not those only who are invested with power of rule are bound to safeguard the integrity of faith, but, as St. Thomas maintains: "Each one is under obligation to show forth his faith, either to instruct and encourage others of the faithful, or to repel the attacks of unbelievers.'' To recoil before an enemy, or to keep silence when from all sides such clamors are raised against truth, is the part of a man either devoid of character or who entertains doubt as to the truth of what he professes to believe. In both cases such mode of behaving is base and is insulting to God, and both are incompatible with the salvation of mankind. This kind of conduct is profitable only to the enemies of the faith, for nothing emboldens the wicked so greatly as the lack of courage on the part of the good. Moreover, want of vigor on the part of Christians is so much the more blameworthy, as not seldom little would be needed on their part to bring to naught false charges and refute erroneous opinions, and by always exerting themselves more strenuously they might reckon upon being successful. After all, no one can be prevented from putting forth that strength of soul which is the characteristic of true Christians, and very frequently by such display of courage our enemies lose heart and their designs are thwarted. Christians are, moreover, born for combat, whereof the greater the vehemence, the more assured, God aiding, the triumph: "Have confidence; I have overcome the world." Nor is there any ground for alleging that Jesus Christ, the Guardian and Champion of the Church, needs not in any manner the help of men. Power certainly is not wanting to Him, but in His loving kindness He would assign to us a share in obtaining and applying the fruits of salvation procured through His grace.
The chief elements of this duty consist in professing openly and unflinchingly the Catholic doctrine, and in propagating it to the utmost of our power. For, as is often said, with the greatest truth, there is nothing so hurtful to Christian wisdom as that it should not be known, since it possesses, when loyally received, inherent power to drive away error. (Pope Leo XIII, Sapientiae Christianae, January 10, 1890.)
There is no room for naturalism in the mind and the heart of a Catholic.
There is no room for any blithe or "silent" acceptance of conciliarism in the mind and the heart of a Catholic.
We should take to heart these words from Pope Pius XI's Quas Primas, December 11, 1925: Thus the empire of our Redeemer embraces all men. To use the words of Our immortal predecessor, Pope Leo XIII: "His empire includes not only Catholic nations, not only baptized persons who, though of right belonging to the Church, have been led astray by error, or have been cut off from her by schism, but also all those who are outside the Christian faith; so that truly the whole of mankind is subject to the power of Jesus Christ." Nor is there any difference in this matter between the individual and the family or the State; for all men, whether collectively or individually, are under the dominion of Christ. In him is the salvation of the individual, in him is the salvation of society. "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved." He is the author of happiness and true prosperity for every man and for every nation. "For a nation is happy when its citizens are happy. What else is a nation but a number of men living in concord?" If, therefore, the rulers of nations wish to preserve their authority, to promote and increase the prosperity of their countries, they will not neglect the public duty of reverence and obedience to the rule of Christ. What We said at the beginning of Our Pontificate concerning the decline of public authority, and the lack of respect for the same, is equally true at the present day. "With God and Jesus Christ," we said, "excluded from political life, with authority derived not from God but from man, the very basis of that authority has been taken away, because the chief reason of the distinction between ruler and subject has been eliminated. The result is that human society is tottering to its fall, because it has no longer a secure and solid foundation."
When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony. Our Lord's regal office invests the human authority of princes and rulers with a religious significance; it ennobles the citizen's duty of obedience. It is for this reason that St. Paul, while bidding wives revere Christ in their husbands, and slaves respect Christ in their masters, warns them to give obedience to them not as men, but as the vicegerents of Christ; for it is not meet that men redeemed by Christ should serve their fellow-men. "You are bought with a price; be not made the bond-slaves of men." If princes and magistrates duly elected are filled with the persuasion that they rule, not by their own right, but by the mandate and in the place of the Divine King, they will exercise their authority piously and wisely, and they will make laws and administer them, having in view the common good and also the human dignity of their subjects. The result will be a stable peace and tranquillity, for there will be no longer any cause of discontent. Men will see in their king or in their rulers men like themselves, perhaps unworthy or open to criticism, but they will not on that account refuse obedience if they see reflected in them the authority of Christ God and Man. Peace and harmony, too, will result; for with the spread and the universal extent of the kingdom of Christ men will become more and more conscious of the link that binds them together, and thus many conflicts will be either prevented entirely or at least their bitterness will be diminished.
If the kingdom of Christ, then, receives, as it should, all nations under its way, there seems no reason why we should despair of seeing that peace which the King of Peace came to bring on earth -- he who came to reconcile all things, who came not to be ministered unto but to minister, who, though Lord of all, gave himself to us as a model of humility, and with his principal law united the precept of charity; who said also: "My yoke is sweet and my burden light." Oh, what happiness would be Ours if all men, individuals, families, and nations, would but let themselves be governed by Christ! "Then at length," to use the words addressed by our predecessor, Pope Leo XIII, twenty-five years ago to the bishops of the Universal Church, "then at length will many evils be cured; then will the law regain its former authority; peace with all its blessings be restored. Men will sheathe their swords and lay down their arms when all freely acknowledge and obey the authority of Christ, and every tongue confesses that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father." (Pope Pius XI, Quas Primas, December 11, 1925.)
Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Christ is the King of the universe, Jorge, not man.
Man, Jorge, has created a monstrous world of crime and violence and you are of the chief monsters, committing criminal, violent acts against the honor and majesty and glory of the Most Blessed Trinity and the integrity and purity of the Sacred Deposit of Faith, all to the deteriment of the common temporal good and the eternal good of souls.
May God have mercy on us all.
