The Prophet Osee Reminds Us: "For there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land" (Osee 4:1)

Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.  2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.  3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together. (Osee 4: 1-3.)

The Prophet Osee’s words described life among the Biblical Jew five hundred years before the Nativity of Our Divine Redeemer, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but they also describe life contemporaneously in the post-Christian West.

There is no truth, and there is now mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.

To wit, the government of the Republic of Ireland yesterday, March 8, 2024, placed two referenda before its mostly Druid population that will change the definition of what constitutes a family and to remove the word “women” from its Constitution:

According to Ireland's Constitution, a woman's place is in the home. But voters will decide on Friday — International Women's Day — whether to change the 87-year-old document to remove passages the government says are outdated and sexist.

Twin referendums will be held on deleting a reference to women's domestic duties and broadening the definition of the family.

The first vote deals with a part of the constitution that pledges to protect the family as the primary unit of society. Voters are being asked to remove a reference to marriage as the basis "on which the family is founded" and replace it with a clause that says families can be founded "on marriage or on other durable relationships." If passed, it will be the 39th amendment to Ireland's Constitution.

The second change — a proposed 40th amendment — would remove a reference to women's role in the home as a key support to the state, and delete a statement that "mothers shall not be obliged by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their duties in the home."

It would add a clause saying the state will strive to support "the provision of care by members of a family to one another." (A woman's place is in the home? That's what Ireland's Constitution still says, but it may change.)

These two referenda came nearly sixteen years after Irish voters rejected the European Union’s Lisbon Treaty because of its mandate to establish the killing of innocent preborn children under the cover of the civil law by a vote of by a vote of 862,415 (53.4%) to 752,541 (46.6%) on June 12, 2008, which was only a year prior to Irish approving the treaty in a referendum on October 2, 2009, that contained concessions permitting Ireland to retain its own “social policies,” including its constitutional protection of innocent preborn children. “Popular sovereignty” being what it is, however, it was nine years thereafter the Irish changed their own constitution to permit baby-butchery, which came three years after the neo-Druids had voted in favor of perverted “marriage.”

This time, however, the Irish people voted by a two to one margin to reject the proposed changes to their country’s constitution:

 

DUBLIN (AP) — Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar conceded defeat Saturday as two constitutional amendments he supported that would have broadened the definition of family and removed language about a woman’s role in the home were headed toward rejection.

Varadkar, who pushed the vote to enshrine gender equality in the constitution by removing “very old-fashioned language” and tried to recognize the realities of modern family life, said that voters had delivered “two wallops” to the government.

“Clearly we got it wrong,” he said. “While the old adage is that success has many fathers and failure is an orphan, I think when you lose by this kind of margin, there are a lot of people who got this wrong and I am certainly one of them.”

Opponents argued that the amendments were poorly worded, and voters said they were confused with the choices that some feared would lead to unintended consequences.

The referendum was viewed as part of Ireland’s evolution from a conservative, overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country in which divorce and abortion were illegal, to an increasingly diverse and socially liberal society. The proportion of residents who are Catholic fell from 94.9% in 1961 to 69% in 2022, according to the Central Statistics Office.

The social transformation has been reflected in a series of changes to the Irish Constitution, which dates from 1937, though the country wasn’t formally known as the Republic of Ireland until 1949. Irish voters legalized divorce in a 1995 referendum, backed same-sex marriage in a 2015 vote and repealed a ban on abortions in 2018.

The first question dealt with a part of the constitution that pledges to protect the family as the primary unit of society. Voters were asked to remove a reference to marriage as the basis “on which the family is founded” and replace it with a clause that said families can be founded “on marriage or on other durable relationships.” If passed, it would have been the constitution’s 39th amendment.

A proposed 40th amendment would have removed a reference that a woman’s place in the home offered a common good that couldn’t be provided by the state, and delete a statement that said mothers shouldn’t be obligated to work out of economic necessity if it would neglect their duties at home. It would have added a clause saying the state will strive to support “the provision of care by members of a family to one another.”

Siobhán Mullally, a law professor and director of the Irish Center for Human Rights at the University of Galway, said that it was patronizing for Varadkar to schedule the vote on International Women’s Day thinking people would use the occasion to strike the language about women in the home. The so-called care amendment wasn’t that simple.

While voters support removing the outdated notion of a woman’s place in the home, they also wanted new language recognizing state support of family care provided by those who aren’t kin, she said. Some disability rights and social justice advocates opposed the measure because it was too restrictive in that regard.

“It was a hugely missed opportunity,” Mullally said. “Most people certainly want that sexist language removed from the constitution. There’s been calls for that for years and it’s taken so long to have a referendum on it. But they proposed replacing it with this very limited, weak provision on care.”

Varadkar said that his camp hadn’t convinced people of the need for the vote — never mind issues over how the questions were worded. Supporters of the amendment and opponents said the government had failed to explain why change was necessary or mount a robust campaign.

“The government misjudged the mood of the electorate and put before them proposals which they didn’t explain and proposals which could have serious consequences,” Sen. Michael McDowell, an independent who opposed both measures, told Irish broadcaster RTE.

Labour Party Leader Ivana Bacik told RTE that she supported the measures, despite concerns over their wording, but said the government had run a lackluster campaign.

The debate was less charged than the arguments over abortion and gay marriage. Ireland’s main political parties all supported the changes, including centrist government coalition partners Fianna Fail and Fine Gael and the biggest opposition party, Sinn Fein.

One political party that called for “no” votes was Aontú, a traditionalist group that split from Sinn Fein over the larger party’s backing for legal abortion. Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín said that the government’s wording was so vague that it will lead to legal wrangles and most people “do not know what the meaning of a durable relationship is.”

Opinion polls had suggested support for the “yes” side on both votes, but many voters on Friday said they found the issue too confusing or complex to change the constitution.

“It was too rushed,” said Una Ui Dhuinn, a nurse in Dublin. “We didn’t get enough time to think about it and read up on it. So I felt, to be on the safe side, ‘no, no’ — no change.”

Caoimhe Doyle, a doctoral student, said that she voted yes to changing the definition of family, but no to the care amendment because “I don’t think it was explained very well.”

“There’s a worry there that they’re removing the burden on the state to take care of families,” she said.  (Irish voters reject constitutional amendment about women's role in home.)

Although the two amendments failed overwhelmingly this time, their proponents will try again until they get their way, just as they did with the Lebanon Treaty in 2009, with “gay marriage” in 2015, and with baby-butchery in 2019. Adherents of the false opposite of the naturalist “left” never believe that anything is “settled” until it is on their terms as anyone who is opposed their agenda items du jour is trying to “destroy democracy.

Perhaps more importantly, though, is the nugget contained in the news story quoted above that described Ireland’s “evolution” from:

A conservative, overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country in which divorce and abortion were illegal, to an increasingly diverse and socially liberal society. The proportion of residents who are Catholic fell from 94.9% in 1961 to 69% in 2022, according to the Central Statistics Office.

The social transformation has been reflected in a series of changes to the Irish Constitution, which dates from 1937, though the country wasn’t formally known as the Republic of Ireland until 1949. Irish voters legalized divorce in a 1995 referendum, backed same-sex marriage in a 2015 vote and repealed a ban on abortions in 2018. Irish voters reject constitutional amendment about women's role in home.)

This “evolution” (or “transformation”) was made possible by the counterfeit church of conciliarism "official reconciliation with the new principles inaugurated in 1789” as enshrined in

Dignitatis Humanae and Gaudium et Spes, December 7, 1965, and by a veritable plethora of antipapal messages, addresses, and exhortations on behalf of religious liberty and separation of Church and State. This “reconciliation,” which is enshrined in the very ethos of the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service, explains how that which is beyond the ability of men to “decide” or “define” was arrogated unto the “people,” who are but mere contingent beings with mortal bodies destined one day for the corruption of the grave until the General Resurrection of the living and dead on the Last Day, who, falling prey to the allure of the temper, have deluded themselves into think that they are the arbiters of right and wrong, of truth and error.

As the Prophet Osee wrote:

Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.  2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.  3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together. (Osee 4: 1-3.)

Meanwhile, Emanuel Macron, the reprobate President of the French Republic, has been successful in his efforts to enshrine baby-butchery as an “inviolable” constitutional “right”:

French lawmakers on Monday overwhelmingly approved a bill that will enshrine a woman’s right to an abortion in France’s constitution, a historic move designed to prevent the kind of rollback of abortion rights seen in the United States in recent years.

In an exceptional joint session of parliament convened at the Palace of Versailles, the bill was approved in a 780-72 vote. Abortion enjoys wide support in France across most of the political spectrum, and has been legal since 1975.

The vote makes France the first country to have a constitutional right to abortion since the former Yugoslavia inscribed it in its 1974 constitution. Serbia’s 2006 constitution carries on that spirit, stating that “everyone has the right to decide on childbirth.”

Nearly the entire hall in France stood in a long standing ovation, and many female legislators in the hall smiled broadly as they cheered. There were jubilant scenes of celebrations all over France as women’s rights activists hailed the measure promised by President Emmanuel Macron immediately following the Dobbs ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022.

Both houses of parliament, the National Assembly and the Senate, had already adopted a bill to amend Article 34 of the French Constitution to specify that “the law determines the conditions by which is exercised the freedom of women to have recourse to an abortion, which is guaranteed.”

In the lead up to the historic vote, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal addressed the 925 lawmakers gathered for the joint session in Versailles, and called on them to make France a leader in women’s rights and set an example in defense of women’s rights for countries around the world.

“We have a moral debt to women,” Attal said. He paid tribute to Simone Veil, a prominent legislator, former health minister and key feminist who in 1975 championed the bill that decriminalized abortion in France.

“We have a chance to change history,” Attal said in a moving and determined speech. “Make Simone Veil proud,” he said to a standing ovation.

The lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, overwhelmingly approved the proposal in January. The Senate adopted the bill on Wednesday, clearing a key hurdle for legislation promised by Macron’s government, intended to make “a woman’s right to have an abortion irreversible.” A three-fifths majority in the joint session was required for the measure to be approved

None of France’s major political parties represented in parliament have questioned the right to abortion, including Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally party and the conservative Republicans. However, some lawmakers have voted against inscribing abortion right into the constitution in previous votes in both houses.

Le Pen, who won a record number of seats in the National Assembly two years ago, said on Monday that her party will vote in favor of the bill but added that “there is no need to make this a historic day.”

An Interjection:

This is quite something as Marine Le Pen, who has been hailed by American “conservatives,” some of whom, such as a commentator Sean Hannity, have become very comfortable with baby-butchery. Le Pen is just another Judeo-Masonic naturalist who does not practice the Catholic Faith into which she was baptized and who cohabitated with a man for ten years, a situation that followed upon two divorces. She is simply a French nationalist, and any kind of nationalism, which is a perversion of the Catholic teaching on patriotism, is an idolater of a nation. Idolaters of nations make no room for Christ the King, His Holy Catholic Church, or the Divine and Natural Laws in their thoughts, words, and actions.

The right to an abortion has broad support among the French public. A recent poll showed support at more than 80%, consistent with previous surveys. The same poll also showed that a solid majority of people are in favor of enshrining it in the constitution. (Abortion is enshrined as a constitutional right in France after lawmakers approve an amendment.)

Another Interjection:

How is this possible in formerly Catholic France?

Two hundred thirty-five years of anticlerical secularism made this possible, and it was none other than Joseph Alois “Cardinal” Ratzinger who wrote the following about his false religious sect’s “reconciliation” with the events of 1789:

Let us be content to say here that the text [of Gaudium et Spes] serves as a countersyllabus and, as such, represents on the part of the Church, an attempt at an official reconciliation with the new era inaugurated in 1789. Only from this perspective can we understand, on the one hand, the ghetto-mentality, of which we have spoken above; only from this perspective can we understand, on the other hand, the meaning of the remarkable meeting of the Church and the world. Basically, the word "world" means the spirit of the modern era, in contrast to which the Church's group-consciousness saw itself as a separate subject that now, after a war that had been in turn both hot and cold, was intent on dialogue and cooperation. (Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology, p. 382.)

Does this mean that the Council should be revoked? Certainly not. It means only that the real reception of the Council has not yet even begun. What devastated the Church in the decade after the Council was not the Council but the refusal to accept it. This becomes clear precisely in the history of the influence of Gaudium et spes. What was identified with the Council was, for the most part, the expression of an attitude that did not coincide with the statements to be found in the text itself, although it is recognizable as a tendency in its development and in some of its individual formulations. The task is not, therefore, to suppress the Council but to discover the real Council and to deepen its true intention in the light of the present experience. That means that there can be no return to the Syllabus, which may have marked the first stage in the confrontation with liberalism and a newly conceived Marxism but cannot be the last stage. In the long run, neither embrace nor ghetto can solve for Christians the problem of the modern world. The fact is, as Hans Urs von Balthasar pointed out as early as 1952, that the "demolition of the bastions" is a long-overdue task. (Joseph Ratzinger, Principles of Catholic Theology, p. 391.)

Behold the results of this “official reconciliation.” Behold the results, including the following unforgiving statistics concerning the sterility of the conciliar religion and its abominable liturgical service:

While France has long had the epithet of “the eldest daughter of the Church,” the faith has been in steep decline over the past decades. 

According to a poll by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies of France, only 29% of French people aged 18-59 identified as Catholic, while among believers an estimated 8% attend Mass regularly. (Vatican on France’s abortion amendment: There cannot be a ‘right’ to take a human life.)

While the loss of the Catholic Faith in France has been in the making for centuries, the “steep decline” noted in the Catholic News Agency reported cited just above is the direct result of conciliarism’s “opening” to a world that has enshrined nonexistent “rights of man” to the law of God Himself.

Just as the world continues to suffer from the effects of the Protestant Revolution against the Divine Plan that God Himself instituted to effect man’s return to Him through His Catholic Church, so does the world continue to suffer from the effects of the anti-Theistic, anticlerical French Revolution. Innocent blood aplenty was shed in the first French Revolution in 1789. Innocent blood was shed in the French Revolutions of 1830, 1848, and 1871, and innocent blood continues to flow freely throughout the country, which was governed by Saint Louis IX nearly eight centuries ago and on whose soil Saints Mary Magdalene, Martha, and Lazarus worked to plant the seeds of the Holy Faith after the exile from Bethany, whose history of fealty to the Holy Faith earned her title as “Eldest Daughter of the Church.” Revolutions are always inspired by the devil, who loves to see the zenith of God’s creative handiwork, man, filled with a hatred for other men that he has for God and the dupes who do his bidding for him in this passing, mortal vale of tears.

The enshrinement of baby butchery as a “constitutional right” in the French Republic follows the first French Revolution’s declaration of the “rights of man,” which was described by Father Denis Fahey in The Mystical City of God in the Modern World:

By the grace of the Headship of the Mystical Body, our Lord Jesus Christ is both Priest and King of redeemed mankind and, as such, exercises a twofold influence upon us. Firstly, as a Priest, He communicates to us the supernatural life of grace by which we, while ever remaining distinct from God, can enter into the vision and love of the Blessed Trinity. We can thus become one with God, not, of course, in the order of substance or being, but in the order of operation, of the immaterial union of vision and love. The Divine Nature is the principle of the Divine Vision and Love, and by grace we are ‘made partakers of the Divine Nature.’ This pure Catholic doctrine is infinitely removed from Masonic pantheism. Secondly, as King, our Lord exercises an exterior influence on us by His government of us. As King, He guides and directs us socially and individually, in order to dispose all things for the reception of the Supernatural Life which He, as Priest, confers.

Society had been organized in the thirteenth century and even down to the sixteenth, under the banner of Christ the King. Thus, in spite of deficiencies and imperfections, man’s divinization, through the Life that comes from the sacred Humanity of Jesus, was socially favoured. Modern society, under the influence of Satan, was to be organized on the opposite principle, namely, that human nature is of itself divine, that man is God, and, therefore, subject to nobody. Accordingly, when the favourable moment had arrived, the Masonic divnization of human nature found its expression in the Declaration of the Rights of Man in 1789The French Revolution ushered in the struggle for the complete organization of the world around the new divinity–Humanity. In God’s plan, the whole organization of a country is meant to aid the development of a country is meant to aid the development of the true personality of the citizens through the Mystical Body of Christ. Accordingly, the achievement of true liberty for a country means the removal of obstacles to the organized social acceptance of the Divine Plan. Every revolution since 1789 tends, on the contrary, to the rejection of that plan, and therefore to the enthronement of man in the place of God. The freedom at which the spirit of the revolution aims is that absolute independence which refuses submission to any and every order. It is the spirit breathed by the temptation of the serpent: ‘For God doth know that in what day soever you shall eat thereof, your eyes shall be opened; and you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.’ Man decided then that he would himself lay down the order of good and evil in the place of God; then and now it is the same attitude. (Father Denis Fahey, The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World, p. 27.)

Innocent blood must flow when men arrogate unto themselves what belongs to Christ the King and thus coronate themselves as the arbiters of what constitutes “truth” and “justice,” something that Pope Saint Pius X noted in both Vehementer Nos, February 11, 1906, and Une Fois Encore, February 4, 1907:

12. Finally, there is another point on which We cannot be silent. Besides the injury it inflicts on the interests of the Church, the new law is destined to be most disastrous to your country. For there can be no doubt but that it lamentably destroys union and concord. And yet without such union and concord no nation can live long or prosper. Especially in the present state of Europe, the maintenance of perfect harmony must be the most ardent wish of everybody in France who loves his country and has its salvation at heart. As for Us, following the example of Our Predecessor and inheriting from him a special predilection for your nation, We have not confined Ourself to striving for the preservation of full rights of the religion of your forefathers, but We have always, with that fraternal peace of which religion is certainly the strongest bond ever before Our eyes, endeavored to promote unity among you. We cannot, therefore, without the keenest sorrow observe that the French Government has just done a deed which inflames on religious grounds passions already too dangerously excited, and which, therefore, seems to be calculated to plunge the whole country into disorder.

13. Hence, mindful of Our Apostolic charge and conscious of the imperious duty incumbent upon Us of defending and preserving against all assaults the full and absolute integrity of the sacred and inviolable rights of the Church, We do, by virtue of the supreme authority which God has confided to Us, and on the grounds above set forth, reprove and condemn the law voted in France for the separation of Church and State, as deeply unjust to God whom it denies, and as laying down the principle that the Republic recognizes no cult. We reprove and condemn it as violating the natural law, the law of nations, and fidelity to treaties; as contrary to the Divine constitution of the Church, to her essential rights and to her liberty; as destroying justice and trampling underfoot the rights of property which the Church has acquired by many titles and, in addition, by virtue of the Concordat. We reprove and condemn it as gravely offensive to the dignity of this Apostolic See, to Our own person, to the Episcopacy, and to the clergy and all the Catholics of France. Therefore, We protest solemnly and with all Our strength against the introduction, the voting and the promulgation of this law, declaring that it can never be alleged against the imprescriptible rights of the Church.

14. We had to address these grave words to you, Venerable Brethren, to the people of France and of the whole Christian world, in order to make known in its true light what has been done. Deep indeed is Our distress when We look into the future and see there the evils that this law is about to bring upon a people so tenderly loved by Us. (Pope Saint Pius X. Vehementer Nos, February 11, 1906.)

Pope Saint Pius X reiterated his condemnation of the French law of separation in Une Fois Encore, January 9, 1907, eleven months after Vehementer Nos:

17. The vague and ambiguous-wording of some of its articles places the end pursued by our enemies in a new light. Their object is, as we have already pointed out, the destruction of the Church and the dechristianization of France, but without people's attending to it or even noticing it. If their enterprise had been really popular, as they pretend it to be, they would not have hesitated to pursue it with visor raised and to take the whole responsibility. But instead of assuming that responsibility, they try to clear themselves of it and deny it, and in order to succeed the better, fling it upon the Church their victim. This is the most striking of all the proofs that their evil work does not respond to the wishes of the country.

18. It is in vain that after driving Us to the cruel necessity of rejecting the laws that have been made -- seeing the evils they have drawn down upon the country, and feeling the universal reprobation which, like a slow tide, is rising round them -- they seek to lead public opinion astray and to make the responsibility for these evils fall upon Us. Their attempt will not succeed.

19. As for Ourselves, We have accomplished Our duty, as every other Roman Pontiff would have done. The high charge with which it has pleased Heaven to invest Us, in spite of Our unworthiness, as also the Christian faith itself, which you profess with Us, dictated to Us Our conduct. We could not have acted otherwise without trampling under foot Our conscience, without being false to the oath which We took on mounting the chair of Peter, and without violating the Catholic hierarchy, the foundation given to the Church by our Savior Jesus Christ.

We await, then, without fear, the verdict of historyHistory will tell how We, with Our eyes fixed immutably upon the defense of the higher rights of God, have neither wished to humiliate the civil power, nor to combat a form of government, but to safeguard the inviolable work of Our Lord and Master Jesus Christ. It will say that We have defended you, Our beloved sons, with all the strength of Our great love; that what We have demanded and now demand for the Church, of which the French Church is the elder daughter and an integral part, is respect for its hierarchy and inviolability of its property and liberty; that if Our demand had been granted religious peace would not have been troubled in France, and that, the day it is listened to that peace so much desired will be restored in the country.

20. And, lastly, history will say, that if, sure beforehand of your magnanimous generosity. We have not hesitated to tell you that the hour for sacrifice had struck, it is to remind the world, in the name of the Master of all things, that men here below should feed their minds upon thoughts of a higher sort than those of the perishable contingencies of life, and that the supreme and intangible joy of the human soul on earth is that of duty supernaturally carried out, cost what it may and so God honored, served and loved, in spite of all. (Pope Saint Pius X, Une Fois Encore, January 6, 1907.)

The verdict of history is clearly on the side of the great Pope Saint Pius X. Pope Saint Pius X manfully defended the Social Reign of Christ the King that has been abandoned and flushed down the Orwellian memory hole by the conciliar revolutionaries. The conciliar “popes” have celebrated the triumph of the very false principles condemned by our true popes and that were championed so liberally by the editors of Charlie Hebdo.

Prophetically, Pope Saint Pius X condemned the efforts on the part of The Sillon to “reconcile” the “spirit of the French Revolution” with the Catholic Faith. Pope Saint Pius X’s prophetic words condemned conciliarism’s adoption of The Sillon’s “spirit of reconciliation” that have seen conciliar “popes” and “cardinals” extol Mohammedanism and is “role” to promote “religion” in civil society:

Here we have, founded by Catholics, an inter-denominational association that is to work for the reform of civilization, an undertaking which is above all religious in character; for there is no true civilization without a moral civilization, and no true moral civilization without the true religion: it is a proven truth, a historical fact. The new Sillonists cannot pretend that they are merely working on “the ground of practical realities” where differences of belief do not matter. Their leader is so conscious of the influence which the convictions of the mind have upon the result of the action, that he invites them, whatever religion they may belong to, “to provide on the ground of practical realities, the proof of the excellence of their personal convictions.” And with good reason: indeed, all practical results reflect the nature of one’s religious convictions, just as the limbs of a man down to his finger-tips, owe their very shape to the principle of life that dwells in his body.

This being said, what must be thought of the promiscuity in which young Catholics will be caught up with heterodox and unbelieving folk in a work of this nature? Is it not a thousand-fold more dangerous for them than a neutral association? What are we to think of this appeal to all the heterodox, and to all the unbelievers, to prove the excellence of their convictions in the social sphere in a sort of apologetic contest? Has not this contest lasted for nineteen centuries in conditions less dangerous for the faith of Catholics? And was it not all to the credit of the Catholic Church? What are we to think of this respect for all errors, and of this strange invitation made by a Catholic to all the dissidents to strengthen their convictions through study so that they may have more and more abundant sources of fresh forces? What are we to think of an association in which all religions and even Free-Thought may express themselves openly and in complete freedom? (Pope Saint Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910.)

Conciliarism’s respect for the false principles of “liberty, equality, fraternity” have played a very significant role in de-Catholicizing France. The contraception and abortion of the Holy Faith in this once great Catholic kingdom led French Catholics to practice contraception and to have abortions to such an extent that a need for non-French workers, including were Mohammedans who came from formerly French colonies or territories after having fought for France against various independence movements, arose. The Mohammedans thus were able to vanquish France by means of lax immigration laws and the cowardice of her own agnostic politicians, thus winning by means of public policies and by procreation what they had lost to Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours (Poitiers) on October 10, 732.

Pope Saint Pius X’s admonitions contained in Vehementer Nos and Une Fois Enore are just as applicable to the France of the globalist pro-abort Emanuel Macron his useful idiots in the French nationalist opposition today as they were when issued after the French Third Republic had passed the law of separation. The enshrine of baby-butchery in the constitution of the French Fifth Republic is simply a continuation of what began in 1789 and will never end until the rising up of the Great French Monarch.

As the Prophet Osee wrote:

Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.  2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.  3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together. (Osee 4: 1-3.)

Not be outdone, we have a situation across the Atlantic Ocean from Ireland and France where the two men who will be the American presidential nominees of the two organized crime families of naturalism are outdoing themselves in support of various evils.

For all their differences in various matters, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and Donald John Trump each support the evil that is in vitro fertilization while Biden supports unrestricted baby-butchery and Trump accepts such butchery up to the sixteenth week of a baby’s growth inside the sanctuary of his mother’s womb, having arrived at the number “sixteen” because, and I kid you not, he “likes even numbers.”

Compare Biden’s and Trump’s respective statements after the February 22, 2024, Alabama Supreme Court decision declaring that human embryos are human beings, a decision that shut down the evil business of in vitro fertilization in the State of Alabama until its state legislature overturned the court’s decision to permit the artificial creation of human beings:

Today, in 2024 in America, women are being turned away from emergency rooms and forced to travel hundreds of miles for health care, while doctors fear prosecution for providing an abortion. And now, a court in Alabama put access to some fertility treatments at risk for families who are desperately trying to get pregnant. The disregard for women’s ability to make these decisions for themselves and their families is outrageous and unacceptable.
 
Make no mistake: this is a direct result of the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
 
I know that folks are worried about what they’re seeing happening to women all across America. I am too. I hear about it everywhere I go. My message is: The Vice President and I are fighting for your rights. We’re fighting for the freedom of women, for families, and for doctors who care for these women. And we won’t stop until we restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law for all women in every state. (Statement from President Joe Biden on Alabama Court Decision.)

“Under my leadership, the Republican Party will always support the creation of strong, thriving, healthy American families. We want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have babies, not harder!”

“Like the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Americans, including the VAST MAJORITY of Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, and Pro-Life Americans, I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious baby. I call upon the Alabama Legislature to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama.”

“The Republican Party should always be on the side of the Miracle of Life – and the side of Mothers, Fathers, and their Beautiful Babies. IVF is an important part of that, and our Great Republican Party will always be with you, in your quest, for the ULTIMATE JOY IN LIFE!” (Donald Trump Calls on Alabama Legislature to Find Way to Preserve IVF.)

Other than Biden’s correctly stating that the overturning of Roe v. Wade was responsible for the Alabama Supreme Court decision, which he sees as “bad” but was actually correct, and Donald John Trump’s boasting of his support for the “Miracle of Life” even though he supports the destruction of innocent human life in the “hard cases” and is willing to accept the unconditional killing of preborn babies up to the sixteenth week of their life after conception, these two statements, issued by mortal enemies who are steeped in a welter of Judeo-Masonic errors, are founded in a fundamental acceptance of the evil that is in vitro fertilization.

This is but another example of the false opposites about which I have been writing for decades, and this is how the adversary works as he uses the supposedly "lesser evil" to enshrine what the supposedly "greater evil" has sought to do, although the "lesser evil" does so as so-called "conservatives" accept the evil that their man does because of the fear of the "greater evil." We have reached the point where we are simply speaking about varying degrees of evil, not the pursuit of the common good according to right principles. Mind you, this is not even to consider the true purpose of the civil state, which is to foster those conditions wherein citizens can better sanctify and save their immortal souls, something Pope Saint Pius X noted in Vehementer Nos, February 11, 1906:

That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error. Based, as it is, on the principle that the State must not recognize any religious cult, it is in the first place guilty of a great injustice to God; for the Creator of man is also the Founder of human societies, and preserves their existence as He preserves our own. We owe Him, therefore, not only a private cult, but a public and social worship to honor Him. Besides, this thesis is an obvious negation of the supernatural order. It limits the action of the State to the pursuit of public prosperity during this life only, which is but the proximate object of political societies; and it occupies itself in no fashion (on the plea that this is foreign to it) with their ultimate object which is man's eternal happiness after this short life shall have run its course. But as the present order of things is temporary and subordinated to the conquest of man's supreme and absolute welfare, it follows that the civil power must not only place no obstacle in the way of this conquest, but must aid us in effecting it. The same thesis also upsets the order providentially established by God in the world, which demands a harmonious agreement between the two societies. Both of them, the civil and the religious society, although each exercises in its own sphere its authority over them. It follows necessarily that there are many things belonging to them in common in which both societies must have relations with one another. Remove the agreement between Church and State, and the result will be that from these common matters will spring the seeds of disputes which will become acute on both sides; it will become more difficult to see where the truth lies, and great confusion is certain to arise. Finally, this thesis inflicts great injury on society itself, for it cannot either prosper or last long when due place is not left for religion, which is the supreme rule and the sovereign mistress in all questions touching the rights and the duties of men. Hence the Roman Pontiffs have never ceased, as circumstances required, to refute and condemn the doctrine of the separation of Church and State. Our illustrious predecessor, Leo XIII, especially, has frequently and magnificently expounded Catholic teaching on the relations which should subsist between the two societies. "Between them," he says, "there must necessarily be a suitable union, which may not improperly be compared with that existing between body and soul.-"Quaedam intercedat necesse est ordinata colligatio (inter illas) quae quidem conjunctioni non immerito comparatur, per quam anima et corpus in homine copulantur." He proceeds: "Human societies cannot, without becoming criminal, act as if God did not exist or refuse to concern themselves with religion, as though it were something foreign to them, or of no purpose to them.... As for the Church, which has God Himself for its author, to exclude her from the active life of the nation, from the laws, the education of the young, the family, is to commit a great and pernicious error. (Pope Saint Pius X, Vehementer Nos, February 11, 2006.)

Each of the two major organized crime families of naturalism in the United States of America is committed to the pursuit of material prosperity, albeit by different means (confiscatory statist policies for the “left” and the mythical “invisible hand of capitalism” for the “right”), as the principal purpose of the civil state, not the fostering of those conditions in which can better sanctity and thus to save their souls as members of the Catholic Church.

To wit, Leaving aside all the other untruths contained in President in Name Only (PINO) Joseph Robinette Biden’s State of Union Address on Thursday, March 7, 2024, the Feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas, consider the demagogic octogenarian’s continued brazen support for baby butchery:

My predecessor came to office determined to see Roe v. Wade overturned.  He’s the reason it was overturned, and he brags about it.  Look at the chaos that has resulted.

Joining us tonight is Kate Cox, a wife and mother from Dallas.  She’d become pregnant again and had a fetus with a fatal condition.  Her doctor told Kate that her own life and her ability to have future in the fil- — children in the future were at risk if she didn’t act.  Because Texas law banned her ability to act, Kate and her husband had to leave the state to get what she needed.

What her family had gone through should have never happened as well.  But it’s happening to too many others.

There are state laws banning the freedom to choose, criminalizing doctors, forcing survivors of rape and incest to leave their states to get the treatment they need.

Many of you in this chamber and my predecessor are promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom.

AUDIENCE:  Booo —

THE PRESIDENT:  My God, what freedom else would you take away?

Look, its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court majority wrote the following — and with all due respect, Justices — “Women are not without electoral — electoral power” — excuse me — “electoral or political power.”

You’re about to realize just how much you were right about that.  (Applause.)

Clearly — (applause) — clearly, those bragging about overturning Roe v. Wade have no clue about the power of women.

But they found out.  When reproductive freedom was on the ballot, we won in 2022 and 2023.  And we’ll win again in 2024.  (Applause.)

If you — if you, the American people, send me a Congress that supports the right to choose, I promise you I will restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again.  (Applause.)

Folks, America cannot go back. (Remarks by President Biden in State of the Union Address.)

Although some of the clueless folks at Lifesite News, who seem to have learned absolutely nothing from the events they cover, are calling upon Catholics to petition the American “bishops” to excommunicate Biden for his unapologetic support for the slaughter of innocent children, it must be remembered that Jorge Mario Bergoglio himself has enabled Biden at every turn, including telling him to continue to receive what purports to be Holy Communion at the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical travesty, and it was “Pope Francis,” after all, who cut the legs out from “Archbishop” Salvatore Cordileone after he had banned then Speaker of the United States of America Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro Pelosi from receiving “communion.” Bergoglio went to the trouble of inviting Pelosi to Rome and personally gave her “communion.” Yet it is that the very people who know that “Pope Francis” removed Joseph Strickland as the conciliar “bishop” of Tyler, Texas, because Strickland had criticized him, Bergoglio, and because of his open criticism of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., believe that “petitions” are going to “save the day.” Such is the hysteria produced by the endless conflicts of the false opposites of naturalism in the anti-Incarnational world of Modernity and by the refusal to accept the fact that the entity they think is the Catholic Church is but her counterfeit whose lords are in full concert with the exigencies of the “global reset.”

Donald John Trump, for his part, has continued to insist that pro-life Americans endorse “exception” to the inviolability of innocent human life, most recently having endorsed the idea of a national ban—with “exceptions,” of course, on the surgical slaughter of preborn babies after they are sixteen weeks or older, an age he came up with because he likes even numbers:

Still, the former president expressed concerns about potentially alienating social conservatives before a nominee is chosen. Mr Trump reportedly told a member of his team that he liked the idea of a 16-week ban because it’s an even number.

“It’s even. It’s four months,” he apparently told a staffer.

Up until now, little has been known about what Mr Trump currently thinks on the topic. Per The New York Times, he immediately dimisses prospective running mates when he finds out they don’t agree with the three exceptions he’s proposed, claiming that Republicans will continue to lose elections with that mentality.

However, Mr Trump appointed three conservative US Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that made access to the procedure a constitutional right.

The former president said his proposed ban would target the remaining states that have not imposed restrictions on abortion. Currently 14 states have prohibited the procedure in some capacity.

Throughout his life, he’s appeared to go back-and-forth about his thoughts regarding the procedure, with his opinions varying depending on political trends. He recently criticised Florida’s six-week abortion ban and told a prospective voter that he wouldn’t be able to guarantee a total ban because “we still have to win elections”. (Trump privately supporting 16-week abortion ban because he likes even numbers, report says.)

The only “election” that a Catholic has to be concerned about is the Divine favor bestowed upon his immortal soul at Holy Baptism and must be fostered by means of the supernatural helps provided him by Holy Mother Church to preserve to the point of his dying breath in a state of Sanctifying Grace, a state of justification, wherein he wins the most important favor of all: eternal life in the glory of the Beatific Vision in Heaven.

Donald John Trump does not realize this, and thus his thought process, such as it is, is based on viscera and expediency, not on any kind of principle, certainly not any principle that recognizes there are no exceptions whatsoever to the Divine prohibition against the direct taking of innocent human life, a prohibition that is written on the very flesh of human hearts and is knowable, albeit imperfectly, by reason alone.

Consider once again the words of the Prophet Osee:

Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.  2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.  3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together. (Osee 4: 1-3.)

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and Donald John Trump share many beliefs and personal characteristics despite their differences of policy and style.

Each man is a blasphemer.

Each man uses profanity regularly, both privately and publicly.

Each man is a firm supporter of the lavender agenda.

Biden has hosted egregious events in support of perversity, and Donald John Trump hosted a “gayla” celebration in December of 2022 after his successor had signed the ill-named “Respect Marriage Act” into law:

(LifeSiteNews) – Just two days after Joe Biden signed the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” [RMA] into law, LGBT Republicans celebrated its enactment at a gala event at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort home, hosted by the former president himself.  

Trump was joined by Arizona’s 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidate, Kari Lake, and an array of high profile “GayCons” (homosexual “conservatives”) including former Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell, a Trump appointee, and frequent Tucker Carlson guest commentator Chadwick Moore.  

Fox News’ Tammy Bruce, a lesbian, received the “Spirit of Lincoln Award” from the Log Cabin Republicans, the GOP LGBT organization which sponsored the event.  Last year’s recipient was former First Lady Melania Trump

Here’s the thing: Instead of celebrating the passage and enactment of the new law, President Trump and Kari Lake should’ve seized the opportunity to renounce it.   

And instead of congratulating the 500 or so “GayCons” gathered in Mar-a-Lago’s ballroom, Trump and Lake should’ve asked these men and women to show that they truly are conservatives by affirming the immutable definition of marriage – as conjugal and complementary – and repudiating RMA.  

Although Trump reportedly did not mention the new law in his speech, he did proclaim, “We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard.” 

“With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides, the strides you’ve made here is incredible,” added the former Republican president and declared 2024 candidate. 

According to Politico, Kari Lake employed foul language to address the crowd, saying, “We just had such a huge movement going into Election Day, to watch these people — these evil b*stards, can I say that here? To watch them steal this election in broad daylight, and if they think they’re going to get away with it, they messed with the wrong b*tch.”  

Among the other presenters and award recipients at the LGBT GOP gala were outgoing U.S. Senator Rob Portman, a Republican who defected from social conservatism to become one of 12 GOP Senators who voted for the RMA, and Newsmax host Rob Schmitt, formerly of Fox & Friends First.

“The Log Cabin Republicans attacked Matt Rinaldi for faithfully representing the socially conservative views of Texas Republicans. They launched a full-court press to demonize Rinaldi but it failed,” wrote Pedro Gonzalez in a long Twitter thread  critical of the Mar-A-Lago event.   

“These are the people Trump is hosting.” 

“The purpose of the Log Cabin Republicans is to move the GOP further left on the sexual revolution, to browbeat the socially conservative grassroots scene with LGBT nonsense—and Trump is acting as their *vehicle*,” he noted. 

Gonzalez continued

It’s not just that Trump is indistinguishable from Biden on this issue, it’s that he is elevating the Log Cabin Republicans and LGBT ideology to a level it has never seen on the right. 

The Log Cabin Republicans tried to destroy a grassroots Republican movement in Texas because it was too socially conservative—and Trump hosts them at his Winter White House to celebrate “gay rights.” 

Does it feel like that’s what we need right now? More LGBTism? 

“Tell me one more time that Trump is not the most pro-gay President in American history,” tweeted Gala attendee David Leatherwood.

“One cannot simply be MAGA, one must be ULTRA MAGA,” wrote Leatherwood in another tweet, featuring an oddly posed picture with Kari Lake and others. (Trump hosts gala for homosexual Republicans at Mar-a-Lago after Biden signs same-sex 'marriage' law.)

Although the author of this article believes that “conservatism” must be saved from the growing influence of sodomites, lesbians, mutants and other deviants, any and every form of Judeo-Masonic naturalism, including “conservatism” in all its multiple variations and permutations, is incapable of retarding the influence of evil within its ranks and/or that of society-at-large, something that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ made abundantly to clear to us in all the circumstances of our lives when he said:

I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman. [2] Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. [3] Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you. [4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. [5] I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

[6] If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. [7] If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you. [8] In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples. [9] As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love. [10] If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do abide in his love. (John 15: 1-10.)

Moreover, Holy Mother Church has taught us consistently that it is impossible for there to be any kind of well-ordered society if men sin wantonly, celebrate it openly and then endeavor to institutionalize it under cover of law while seeking to shame anyone who opposes their shamelessness into silence:

For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error. And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them. (Romans 1: 18-32.)

[9] Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers[10] Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God. (1 Cor. 6: 9)

[6] And the angels who kept not their principality, but forsook their own habitation, he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgment of the great day. [7] As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. [8] In like manner these men also defile the flesh, and despise dominion, and blaspheme majesty[9] When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee. [10] But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever they naturally know, like dumb beasts, in these they are corrupted.  (Jude 1 6-10.)

"The more closely the temporal power of a nation aligns itself with the spiritual, and the more it fosters and promotes the latter, by so much the more it contributes to the conservation of the commonwealth. For it is the aim of the ecclesiastical authority by the use of spiritual means, to form good Christians in accordance with its own particular end and object; and in doing this it helps at the same time to form good citizens, and prepares them to meet their obligations as members of a civil society. This follows of necessity because in the City of God, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, a good citizen and an upright man are absolutely one and the same thing. How grave therefore is the error of those who separate things so closely united, and who think that they can produce good citizens by ways and methods other than those which make for the formation of good Christians. For, let human prudence say what it likes and reason as it pleases, it is impossible to produce true temporal peace and tranquillity by things repugnant or opposed to the peace and happiness of eternity."(Pope Pius XI, Divini Illius Magistri, December 31, 1929.) 

Our cause is the Catholic cause, none other, and the Catholic cause can never be equated with any kind of definition of a “conservative” cause. One cannot fight the advance of evil with the adversary’s own tools of naturalism.

Alas and with a very heavy sigh, Donald John Trump’s support of perversity in popular culture and under cover of law is nothing new, and anyone who protests to be shocked about Trump’s support of the homosexual collective and its grip on popular culture, including the systematic programming of children at all levels of “education” (pre-school, elementary, secondary, collegiate, undergraduate and professional), and civil law either has had their heads buried in the sand or have made a deliberate and most calculated choice to remain silent because Trump is viewed as a “pro-life” president. No one, however, should be hailed as “pro-life” when he supports even one agenda item of those steeped in perversity and/or have devoted their lives to its promotion and acceptance in the name of “diversity.”

Wait.

It gets worse:

 Former President Donald J. Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Lago resort home recently hosted a “wedding” between two men, reportedly approved by Trump himself.

Over the last two weeks, the GOP’s likely 2024 presidential candidate has demonstrated that there are huge cracks in his once-decidedly-more-conservative platform, allowing pro-abortion and pro-homosexual Marxist political influence and power to seep into the Republican Party.

The trajectory toward welcoming woke homo-Marxist political muscle into the GOP was predictable during the final months of the 2020 presidential election when Trump was dubbed by his former acting director of national intelligence, “openly gay” Richard Grenell, as “the most pro-gay president in American history” in a viral campaign video clip.

A year later, Trump hosted a black tie gala for Log Cabin (LGBT) Republicans at Mar-a-Lago where former First Lady Melania Trump was honored with the organization’s “Spirit of Lincoln” Award.

Mar-a-Lago has since become a major symbolic gateway for the intrusion of homo-Marxist ideology within the MAGA (Make America Great Again) political movement.

In December 2022, just two days after Joe Biden signed the so-called “Respect for  Marriage Act” into law, LGBT-identifying Republicans celebrated its enactment at a gala event at Mar-a-Lago, again hosted by the former president himself.

A little over a year after Log Cabin Republicans celebrated the contrived notion of protecting same-sex “marriage” at Mar-a-Lago, they were now dancing and popping champagne corks at a “wedding” between two men conducted at the famed Republican presidential resort compound.

John Sullivan, one of the two “grooms.” reportedly wrote on Instagram, “Huge thank you to Donald Trump for giving us the green light to have our wedding at the beautiful Mar-a-Lago club.”  Sullivan is the Log Cabin Republicans of Tennessee’s vice chairman and treasurer. (Playing with fire: Donald Trump welcomed a homosexual 'wedding' at his Mar-a-Lago resort home.)

Yawn.

This is nothing new:

Lesley Stahl: One of the groups that’s expressing fear are the LGBTQ group. You--

Donald Trump: And yet I mentioned them at the Republican National Convention. And--

Lesley Stahl: You did.

Donald Trump: Everybody said, “That was so great.” I have been, you know, I’ve been-a supporter.

Lesley Stahl: Well, I guess the issue for them is marriage equality. Do you support marriage equality?

Donald Trump: It-- it’s irrelevant because it was already settled. It’s law. It was settled in the Supreme Court. I mean it’s done.

Lesley Stahl: So even if you appoint a judge that--

Donald Trump: It’s done. It-- you have-- these cases have gone to the Supreme Court. They’ve been settled. And, I’m fine with that. (60 Minutes Interview With Donald Trump and Family.)

Please note that Donald John Trump is very sanguine about so-called “marriage equality,” calling himself a “supporter” of the “LGTBQ” agenda. A supporter, something that he indicated very clearly in his acceptance address at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday, July 21, 2016:

“49 wonderful Americans were savagely murdered by an Islamic terrorist. This time, the terrorist targeted LGBTQ community – no good and we're going to stop it.

As your President, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology – beleive me.” 

And as a Republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said. Thank you. (Donald John Trump Acceptance Address, Republican National Convention, Cleveland, Ohio July 21, 2016.)

Donald John Trump considers that one can base his identity by his willful decision commit and to persist in the commission of sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance, a a belief that he shares with many of the conciliar revolutionaries, including Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who is otherwise at odds with the new president on almost every other issue. 

Remember also this important post at Call Me Jorge just before November 8, 2016, presidential election:

This is just one facet of the insecure narcissist, Donald Trump.  There is much more to the man which is better left to writing about if he is elected — his connections to Likud, the Jewish Russian mafia, the New York mob, key 9/11 players, etc...

If Trump is elected, will he get his wall?  It’s doubtful but who knows.  One thing which will happen is the alchemical transformation of the right into a pro-zionist, pro-pedophile, and pro-homosexual party as is currently being done in Europe.  Another trend which will continue is the growth to epic proportions of the panopticon which laughably calls itself the most free country in the world.  (Call Me Jorge. The webmaster of this website told me that Google took down his site and all of its postings. A free country? Think again.)

The Prophet Osee wrote as follows:

Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.  2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.  3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together. (Osee 4: 1-3.)

Anyone who thinks that there is going to be a respite from the inevitable consequences of the false premises upon which the anti-Incarnational, Judeo-Masonic civil state of Modernity is, to put it charitably, not thinking clearly. Every evil imaginable has been enshrined under the cover of the civil law, and it is only a matter of time before the polygamy practiced yet by Mormons of the “strict observance,” by Mohammedans, and by various pagan tribes in Africa and a few other places becomes the cause celebre that will be protected by law and celebrate within society-at-large.

Mankind’s Ignorance of Divine Truth

Pope Saint Pius X explained that one of the reason men are so gullible and hence, I would contend, to fall for the illusion of secular salvation, is because they are ignorant of the Sacred Deposit of Faith, which is why he exhorted Catholics to institute the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine programs in every Catholic parish and school around the world:

 

At this very troublesome and difficult time, the hidden designs of God have conducted Our poor strength to the office of Supreme pastor, to rule the entire flock of Christ. The enemy has, indeed, long been prowling about the fold and attacking it with such subtle cunning that now, more than ever before, the prediction of the Apostle to the elders of the Church of Ephesus seems to be verified: "I know that . . . fierce wolves will get in among you, and will not spare the flock."[1] Those who still are zealous for the glory of God are seeking the causes and reasons for this decline in religion. Coming to a different explanation, each points out, according to his own view, a different plan for the protection and restoration of the kingdom of God on earth. But it seems to Us, Venerable Brethren, that while we should not overlook other considerations, We are forced to agree with those who hold that the chief cause of the present indifference and, as it were, infirmity of soul, and the serious evils that result from it, is to be found above all in ignorance of things divine. This is fully in accord with what God Himself declared through the Prophet Osee: "And there is no knowledge of God in the land. Cursing and lying and killing and theft and adultery have overflowed: and blood hath touched blood. Thereafter shall the land mourn, and everyone that dwelleth in it shall languish."[2]

2. It is a common complaint, unfortunately too well founded, that there are large numbers of Christians in our own time who are entirely ignorant of those truths necessary for salvation. And when we mention Christians, We refer not only to the masses or to those in the lower walks of life - for these find some excuse for their ignorance in the fact that the demands of their harsh employers hardly leave them time to take care of themselves or of their dear ones - but We refer to those especially who do not lack culture or talents and, indeed, are possessed of abundant knowledge regarding things of the world but live rashly and imprudently with regard to religion. It is hard to find words to describe how profound is the darkness in which they are engulfed and, what is most deplorable of all, how tranquilly they repose there. They rarely give thought to God, the Supreme Author and Ruler of all things, or to the teachings of the faith of Christ. They know nothing of the Incarnation of the Word of God, nothing of the perfect restoration of the human race which He accomplished. Grace, the greatest of the helps for attaining eternal things, the Holy Sacrifice and the Sacraments by which we obtain grace, are entirely unknown to them. They have no conception of the malice and baseness of sin; hence they show no anxiety to avoid sin or to renounce it. And so they arrive at life's end in such a condition that, lest all hope of salvation be lost, the priest is obliged to give in the last few moments of life a summary teaching of religion, a time which should be devoted to stimulating the soul to greater love for God. And even this as too often happens only when the dying man is not so sinfully ignorant as to look upon the ministration of the priest as useless, and then calmly faces the fearful passage to eternity without making his peace with God. And so Our Predecessor, Benedict XIV, had just cause to write: "We declare that a great number of those who are condemned to eternal punishment suffer that everlasting calamity because of ignorance of those mysteries of faith which must be known and believed in order to be numbered among the elect."[3]

3. There is then, Venerable Brethren, no reason for wonder that the corruption of morals and depravity of life is already so great, and ever increasingly greater, not only among uncivilized peoples but even in those very nations that are called Christian. The Apostle Paul, writing to the Ephesians, repeatedly admonished them in these words: "But immorality and every uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as become saints; or obscenity or foolish talk."[4] He also places the foundation of holiness and sound morals upon a knowledge of divine things - which holds in check evil desires: "See to it therefore, brethren, that you walk with care: not as unwise but as wise. . . Therefore, do not become foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."[5] And rightly so. For the will of man retains but little of that divinely implanted love of virtue and righteousness by which it was, as it were, attracted strongly toward the real and not merely apparent good. Disordered by the stain of the first sin, and almost forgetful of God, its Author, it improperly turns every affection to a love of vanity and deceit. This erring will, blinded by its own evil desires, has need therefore of a guide to lead it back to the paths of justice whence it has so unfortunately strayed. The intellect itself is this guide, which need not be sought elsewhere, but is provided by nature itself. It is a guide, though, that, if it lack its companion light, the knowledge of divine things, will be only an instance of the blind leading the blind so that both will fall into the pit. The holy king David, praising God for the light of truth with which He had illumined the intellect, exclaimed: "The light of Thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us."[6] Then he described the effect of this light by adding: "Thou hast given gladness in my heart," gladness, that is, which enlarges our heart so that it runs in the way of God's Commandments. (Pope Saint Pius X, Acerbo Nimis, April 15, 1905.)

The men who control the world today are in the grip of the adversary. They are will filled with vanity and deceit, a deceit which leads the gullible who are looking for salvation in all the wrong places, to follow other human beings who are just as blind to things divine as they are, all with the result that they fall into a pit of deception and error here below as a foretaste of the fiery pit into which they fall when they die if they do not quit their sins, confess them to a true priest, and receive those wonderful words of absolution that pass from the lips of a true priest acting in persona Christi.

Those of us who are blessed to know and to adhere to the truth by means of the graces we receive in the holy sacraments cannot permit ourselves to be duped into wasting our time believing that men who are ignorant of divine things can contribute one little bit to the “betterment” of a nation or the world.

It is really as simple as this: anyone who does not know, love, and trust the August Queen of Heaven, Our Lady, and meditate upon the mysteries of our salvation contained within her Most Holy Rosary is prone to follow anything and everything except her Divine Son as He has revealed Himself to us exclusively through His Catholic Church.

We need to focus on the simple fact that time is short, and that eternity has no end. If we desire to go home to Heaven, we cannot permit ourselves to be deceived by vain who keep trying to convince us that we can advance spiritually in our own lives and/or socially in the world by tolerating this or that evil by convincing ourselves that the evil we tolerate, whether personally or socially, is not as “great” as some other evil or set of evils.

The retort that I have always given to such wrong-headed thinking is severalfold:

First, the toleration of a “lesser evil” in a world that has embraced all evil without distinction winds up institutionalizing so-called “lesser evils” to such an extent that very few people see any “necessity” about rolling back those evils as to do so would require people to reform their lives, something that those steeped in sin do not want to do absent the grace of a conversion away from evil and a return or conversion to the true Faith. Entire constituency groups consisting of people who base their lives upon “lesser evils” arise that become impossible for career politicians to offend lest they lose “votes.”

Second, the acceptance of institutionalized “lesser evils” predisposes one to accept the incremental toleration of higher and higher doses of so-called “lesser evils” over time to the point that it becomes and exercise in pure sophism to make any kind of distinction about the evils that have been advanced and institutionalized. The adversary cleverly uses the boogeymen of “greater evils” to scare even well-meaning Catholics into the acceptance of higher and higher doses of “lesser evils.”

Third, in this regard, therefore, it is important to remember that the devil without his tail is more dangerous than the devil with his tail, which is why the prince of darkness and the master of lies must raise up supposedly “good naturalists” who are committed to some evils to do false battles with supposedly “bad naturalists” who are uncompromising in their commitment to the advance of one vile more evil under cover of law without any qualification or exception.

Fourth, the proclivity of even traditional Catholics to look for and then latch onto “secular saviors” blinds them to any consideration of the harm that their “secular savior” wants to advance during campaigns and then does indeed advance after his election.

Although some who have written on the "lesser evil" as being the morally principled and “good” position to take by citing Saint Thomas Aquinas's teaching on the subject, it is nevertheless true that a decision to accept a “lesser evil” time and time again accustoms those trapped in the farce of naturalism to accept increasingly higher doses of evil as morally necessary to tolerate in order to avoid being overtaken by the supposedly “greater evil.” Pope Leo XIII explained where this logic takes a state over the course of time:

Yet, with the discernment of a true mother, the Church weighs the great burden of human weakness, and well knows the course down which the minds and actions of men are in this our age being borne. For this reason, while not conceding any right to anything save what is true and honest, she does not forbid public authority to tolerate what is at variance with truth and justice, for the sake of avoiding some greater evil, or of obtaining or preserving some greater good. God Himself in His providence, though infinitely good and powerful, permits evil to exist in the world, partly that greater good may not be impeded, and partly that greater evil may not ensue. In the government of States it is not forbidden to imitate the Ruler of the world; and, as the authority of man is powerless to prevent every evil, it has (as St. Augustine says) to overlook and leave unpunished many things which are punished, and rightly, by Divine Providence. But if, in such circumstances, for the sake of the common good (and this is the only legitimate reason), human law may or even should tolerate evil, it may not and should not approve or desire evil for its own sake; for evil of itself, being a privation of good, is opposed to the common welfare which every legislator is bound to desire and defend to the best of his ability. In this, human law must endeavor to imitate God, who, as St. Thomas teaches, in allowing evil to exist in the world, "neither wills evil to be done, nor wills it not to be done, but wills only to permit it to be done; and this is good.'' This saying of the Angelic Doctor contains briefly the whole doctrine of the permission of evil.

But, to judge aright, we must acknowledge that, the more a State is driven to tolerate evil, the further is it from perfection; and that the tolerance of evil which is dictated by political prudence should be strictly confined to the limits which its justifying cause, the public welfare, requires. Wherefore, if such tolerance would be injurious to the public welfare, and entail greater evils on the State, it would not be lawful; for in such case the motive of good is wanting. And although in the extraordinary condition of these times the Church usually acquiesces in certain modern liberties, not because she prefers them in themselves, but because she judges it expedient to permit them, she would in happier times exercise her own liberty; and, by persuasion, exhortation, and entreaty would endeavor, as she is bound, to fulfill the duty assigned to her by God of providing for the eternal salvation of mankind. One thing, however, remains always true -- that the liberty which is claimed for all to do all things is not, as We have often said, of itself desirable, inasmuch as it is contrary to reason that error and truth should have equal rights.

And as to tolerance, it is surprising how far removed from the equity and prudence of the Church are those who profess what is called liberalism. For, in allowing that boundless license of which We have spoken, they exceed all limits, and end at last by making no apparent distinction between truth and error, honesty and dishonesty. And because the Church, the pillar and ground of truth, and the unerring teacher of morals, is forced utterly to reprobate and condemn tolerance of such an abandoned and criminal character, they calumniate her as being wanting in patience and gentleness, and thus fail to see that, in so doing, they impute to her as a fault what is in reality a matter for commendation. But, in spite of all this show of tolerance, it very often happens that, while they profess themselves ready to lavish liberty on all in the greatest profusion, they are utterly intolerant toward the Catholic Church, by refusing to allow her the liberty of being herself free. (Pope Leo XIII, Libertas Praestantissimum, June 20, 1888.)

Whether someone or something represents a “lesser” evil is a judgment of the practical order. Catholics in the United States of America have become so used to the mantra of “voting for the lesser of two evils” that they invoke this mantra without understanding the proper distinctions and qualifications that need to be made when arriving at a judgment of the practical order. As Bishop Geraldo de Proenca Sigaud, the Bishop of Jacarezinho, Parma, Brazil from January 1, 1947, and the Archbishop of Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil, from December 20, 1960, to September 10, 1960, noted:  

"Among the many ways the Revolution permeates surreptitiously into the stronghold of the Church, the first door is called the 'lesser evil.' This tactic may be compared with the famous Trojan Horse. Catholic doctrine teaches that if we cannot avoid some evil we may choose to permit some lesser evil in order to avoid the greater evil on condition we do not directly commit evil ourselves.

"[HOWEVER]...

"(1) The liberals think a lesser evil is a small evil that is not worth fighting against;

"(2) Very many Catholics and even priests are of the opinion that conflict harms the Church as if She were not by Her very nature militant. This is why they allow evil to occupy without combating it under the pretext of prudence, charity, and apostolic diplomacy.

"(3) THEY DO NOT REALIZE THAT EVIL--EVEN A LESSER EVIL-IS ALWAYS AN EVIL, and that is why they do not seek to limit or suppress it. They live daily with the "lesser evil" and thus they forget the greater good as something horrible. For example, the separation of Church and State and that divorce be allowed among Catholics." (Bishop Geraldo de Proenca Sigaud, as cited by Hugh Akins in Synagogue Rising.) 

This has proven to be a very prophetic words as even most traditional Catholics incant the “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the merely good” even though the supposed “merely good” is an evil that has disguised itself as something better than that which is overtly ugly and repulsive, and this is precisely how so-called “lesser evils” become institutionalized and pave the way for increasingly higher and higher doses of “lesser evils” to the extent that we are awash with an overwhelming social acceptance of moral crimes that no one could have imagined possible seventy years ago. Compromise with evil results in the triumph of evil to the exclusion of any mention of the Social Reign of Christ the King and His true Church. 

As the Prophet Osee wrote:

Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.  2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.  3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together. (Osee 4: 1-3.)

Pope Saint Pius X reminded us that the way to Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ can be found only through His true Church, not through some nebulous “Judeo-Christian” values that numerous writers, including the now retired Patrick Joseph Buchanan, who knows that the Catholic Church is the true Church but who continues to write in politically ecumenical terms with a respect for Protestantism, which is not a true religion and is the fountainhead of the anti-Incarnational civil state of Modernity, and everyone who writes for Lifesite News, where great respect is shown for Protestant “pastors” who have no mission and no power from the true God of Divine Revelation to anything to advance the sanctification and salvation of souls. Catholicism is the sole basis of social order, nothing else, and Pope Saint Pius X noted this very clearly:

Now the way to reach Christ is not hard to find: it is the Church. Rightly does Chrysostom inculcate: "The Church is thy hope, the Church is thy salvation, the Church is thy refuge." ("Hom. de capto Euthropio," n. 6.) It was for this that Christ founded it, gaining it at the price of His blood, and made it the depositary of His doctrine and His laws, bestowing upon it at the same time an inexhaustible treasury of graces for the sanctification and salvation of men.

You see, then, Venerable Brethren, the duty that has been imposed alike upon Us and upon you of bringing back to the discipline of the Church human society, now estranged from the wisdom of Christ; the Church will then subject it to Christ, and Christ to God. If We, through the goodness of God Himself, bring this task to a happy issue, We shall be rejoiced to see evil giving place to good, and hear, for our gladness, "a loud voice from heaven saying: Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ." (Apoc. xii., 10.) But if our desire to obtain this is to be fulfilled, we must use every means and exert all our energy to bring about the utter disappearance of the enormous and detestable wickedness, so characteristic of our time -- the substitution of man for God; this done, it remains to restore to their ancient place of honor the most holy laws and counsels of the gospel; to proclaim aloud the truths taught by the Church, and her teachings on the sanctity of marriage, on the education and discipline of youth, on the possession and use of property, the duties that men owe to those who rule the State; and lastly to restore equilibrium between the different classes of society according to Christian precept and custom. This is what We, in submitting Ourselves to the manifestations of the Divine will, purpose to aim at during Our Pontificate, and We will use all our industry to attain it. It is for you, Venerable Brethren, to second Our efforts by your holiness, knowledge and experience and above all by your zeal for the glory of God, with no other aim than that Christ may be formed in all. (Pope Saint Pius X, E Supremi, October 4, 1903.)

In other words, there is no salvation in politics. We are living in a time of profound chastisement with all the forces of the civil state and that of the counterfeit church of conciliarism arrayed against us.

So what?

The only thing that must matter to us to remain faithful until we die and to be ready to suffer all, including actual martyrdom. Nothing we lose in this world, including our very lives at the hands of the evil men and women and mutants who make up the fascistic administration of the corrupt, physically decrepit, morally sick, and intellectually dishonest statist named Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., that is intent on crushing all opposition, matters if we persevere until the end in a state of Sanctifying Grace as members of the true Church, the Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order. Without Our Lady’s graces, though, we will be lost, which is why we had better be quite intent on praying her Most Holy Rosary daily.

In all the difficulties of these times, though, we must remember that we have nothing to fear as the graces won for us by the shedding of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and that flow into our hearts and souls through the loving hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces, will be ever sufficient for us to carry whatever crosses in whatever circumstances of whatever time God has from all eternity appointed them to live and to work out their salvation in fear and in trembling.

The following prayers, found in The Raccolta, should fill us with peace in the midst of the difficult times in which we live:

Lord Jesus Christ, who didst say unto Thine Apostles: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I gve unto you,” regard not our sins but Thy merits, and grant unto Thy servants, that they whom the Almighty Father hath created and governeth, and whom Thou hast ordained unto everlasting life, may love one another with all their hearts for Thy sake, and may be made one in spirit and rejoice in Thy perpetual peace. Lord Jesus Christ, concerning whom the Prophet hath said: “And all kings of the earth shall adore Him, all nations shall serve Him,” extend thy reign upon the whole human race. Send upon all men the light of Thy faith, deliver them from all the snares and bonds of passion, and direct them to heavenly things; and graciously grant, that the states and nations may be united by means of Thine immaculate Bride, Holy Church, and through the intercession of the blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace, may serve Thee in all humility; and that all tongues and peoples may form one great choir, to praise Thee both day and night, to bless Thee, to exalt Thee, O King of the nations and the Ruler thereof, O Prince of prince immortal King of ages. Amen. (The Raccolta: A Manual of Indulgences, Prayers and Devotions Enriched with Indulgences, approved by Pope Pius XII, May 30, 1951, and published in English by Benziger Brothers, New York, 1957, Number 703, pp. 558-559.)

O God, who art the author and lover of peace, in knowledge of whom is eternal life, whose service is a kingly state; defend us Thy humble servants from all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in Thy defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen. (The Raccolta: A Manual of Indulgences, Prayers and Devotions Enriched with Indulgences, approved by Pope Pius XII, May 30, 1951, and published in English by Benziger Brothers, New York, 1957, Number 703, pp. 559-560.)

O merciful Queen of the Rosary of Pompeii, thou, the Seat of Wisdom, hast established a throne of fresh mercy in the land that once was pagan, in order to draw all nations to salvation by means of the chaplet of thy mystic roses: remember thy divine Son hath left us this saying: “Other sheep I have that are not of this fold; them also must I bring, and they shall hear  voice; and there shall be one fold, and one Shepherd.” Remember likewise that on Calvary thou didst become our Co-Redemptrix, by virtue of the crucifixion of Thy heart cooperating with Thy Crucified Son in the salvation of the world; and from that day thou didst become the Restorer of the human race, the Refuge of sinners, and the Mother of all mankind. Behold, dear Mother, how man souls are lost every hour! Behold, how countless millions of those who dwell in India, in China, and in barbarous regions do not yet know our Lord Jesus Christ! See, too, how many others are indeed Christians and are nevertheless far from the bosom of Mother Church which is Catholic, Apostolic and Roman! O Mary, powerful mediator, advocate of the human race, full of love for us who are mortal, the life of our hearts, blessed Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii, where thou dost nothing else save dispense heaven’s favors upon the afflicted, grant that a ray of thy heavenly light may shine forth to enlighten those many blinded understanding and to enkindle so cold hearts. Intercede with thy Son and obtain grace for all the pagans, Jews, heretics and schismatics in the whole world to receive supernatural light and to enter with joy into the bosom of the true Church. Hear the confident prayer of the Supreme Pontiff [of Holy Church in these times of papal vacancy], that all nations may be joined in the one faith, may know and love Jesus Christ, the blessed fruit of thy womb, who liveth and reigneth with the Father and the Holy Spirit world without end. And then all men shall love thee also, thou who art the salvation of the world, arbiter and dispenser of the treasures of God, and Queen of mercy in the valley of Pompeii. And glorifying thee, the Queen of Victories, who by means of thy Rosary, dost trample upon all heresies, they shall acknowledge that thou givest life to all the nations, since there must be a fulfillment of the prophecy in the Gospel: “All generations shall call me blessed.” (The Raccolta: A Manual of Indulgences, Prayers and Devotions Enriched with Indulgences, approved by Pope Pius XII, May 30, 1951, and published in English by Benziger Brothers, New York, 1957, Number 628, pp. 501-503.)

There is a whole lot of good, solid Catholic theology in the prayer just above.

Our Lady is the Co-Redemptrix of the human race.

Our Lady is the Seat of Wisdom.

Our Lady is our Refuge of Sinners.

Our Lady is the Treasurer of all the graces won for us by her Divine Son on the wood of the Holy Cross.

Our Lady is also our Immaculate Queen to whose Immaculate Heart has been entrusted the cause of world peace and the restoration of all things in her Divine Son, Christ the King, something that Pope Pius XII noted in his prayer consecrating the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, she who is the Queen of Heaven and Earth:

Queen of the most holy Rosary, help of Christians, refuge of the human race, victorious in all the battles of God, we prostrate ourselves in supplication before thy throne, in the sure hope of obtaining mercy and of receiving grace and timely aid in our present calamities, not through any merits of our own on which we do not rely, but only through the immense goodness of thy mother’s Heart. In Thee and in thy Immaculate Heart, at this grave hour of human history, do we put our trust; to thee we consecrate ourselves, not only with all of Holy Church, which is the mystical body of thy Son Jesus, and which is suffering in so many of her members, being persecuted, but also with the whole world, torn by discords, agitated with the hatred, the victim of its own iniquities. Be thou moved by the sight of such material and moral degradation, such sorrows, such anguish, so many tormented souls in danger of eternal loss! Do thou, O Mother of mercy, obtain for us from God a Christ-like reconciliation of the nations, as well as those graces which can convert the souls of men in an instant, those graces which prepare the way and make certain the long desired coming of peace on earth. O Queen of peace, pray for us, and grant unto the world in the truth, the justice, and the charity of Christ. Above all, give us peace in our hearts, so that the kingdom of God, may spread it the tranquility of order. Accord thy protection to unbelievers and to all those who lie in the shadow of death; cause the Sun of Truth to rise upon them; may they enabled to join with us in repeating before the Saviour of the world: “Glory to God in the highest, and peace to men of good will.” Give peace to the nations that are separated us from error or discord, and in a special manner to those peoples who profess a singular devotion toward thee; bring them back to Christ’s one fold, under the one true Shepherd. Obtain full freedom for the holy Church of God; defend her from her enemies; check the ever-increasing torrent of immorality; arouse in the faithful a practical love of purity, a practical Christian life, and an apostolic zeal, so that the number of those who serve God may increase in merit and in number. Finally, even as the Church and all mankind were once consecrated to the Heart of thy Son Jesus, because He was for all those who put their hope in Him an inexhaustible source of victory and salvation, so in like manner do we consecrate ourselves forever to thee also and to thy Immaculate Heart, Of Mother us and Queen of the world; may thy love and patronage hasten the day when the kingdom of God shall be victorious and all the nations, at peace with God and with one another, shall call thee blessed and intone with thee, from the rising of the sun to its going down, the everlasting “Magnificat” of glory, of love, of gratitude to the Heart of Jesus in which we alone can find truth, life, and peace. (Pope Pius XII, Rescript from the Secretariat of State, November 17, 1942, document exhibited, November 19, 1942, The Raccolta: A Manual of Indulgences, Prayers and Devotions Enriched with Indulgences, approved by Pope Pius XII, May 30, 1951, and published in English by Benziger Brothers, New York, 1957, pp. 345-347.)

The restoration of all things in Christ, a restoration that will include China, of course, will occur as a result of the fulfillment of her Fatima Message after the restoration of a true pope on the Throne of Saint Peter, which will occur miraculously at a time of God’s choosing. All we have to do is persist in our prayers as we maintain a joy-filled hope that we might, by virtue of the graces Our Lady sends to us, be able to plant a few seeds for the restoration of all things in Christ the King as a result of the Triumph of her own Immaculate Heart.
