Dear Abby Lives at the Casa Santa Marta

Submitted by Dr. Thomas A. D... on

Jorge has given another interview. This is simply a brief effort to review a few of this naturalist's "tips for a happy life."

In other words, Dear Abby lives at the Casa Santa Marta.

Part four of my current series will appear on Wednesday, July 30, 2014, the Feast of Saints Abdon and Sennen.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saints Nazarius, Celsus, Victor and Pope Innocent, pray for us.

Accepting Apostasy In Increments, part two

Submitted by Dr. Thomas A. D... on

What began as a two-part series has now turned into a three-part series, partly as a result of the constraints of time and partly as a result of intervening events.

Today's installment focuses on how the spirit of apostasy in the counterfeit church of conciliarism is so widely accepted by most Catholics that they nod their heads up and down in complete agreement when they see supposed "news" that "Pope Francis" wants to "reform the papacy," something that he has been trying do ever since his "election" to head his false church four hundred ninety-nine days ago and that his two immediate predecessors, "Saint John Paul II" and Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI, had endeavored in their own ways to advance, both theoretically and practically. This is why Jorge Mario Bergoglio felt a close kinship to the late "bishop" Tony Palmer as he, Bergoglio, believed that there was room for a "brother bishop" in the "vineyard of the Lord."

Apostasy has been accepted increments. The tragic part about this is so few see it and throw stones at those who point it out to them. This is just part of the suffering that we must endure during this time of chastisement, which ours sins very richly deserve.

Accepting Apostasy In Increments, part one

Submitted by Dr. Thomas A. D... on

Another late-night/early-morning posting. This will be brief.

Catholics and other Christians have been forced to flee from Mosul, Iraq, after they were given a "convert, pay or die" ultimatum by those peace-loving disciples of Mohammed, the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. So many other Catholics have faced similar ultimata throughout the course of the past nearly two thousand years, including Catholics here in North America as the British expelled Acadians from Nova Scotia who refused to apostatize in order to save their lands and live in their beloved Acadia.

What does Jorge have to say about all of this?

Work for "dialogue and reconciliation."

ISIS is sure interested in that?

So are those peace-loving friends of "dialogue and reconciliation" in Israel, right?

Part two will appear in a few days.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Taking Refuge In Racism To Break the Laws of God and Man

Submitted by Dr. Thomas A. D... on

Although much is going on in the madness of the world of Modernity and the world of Modernism, both of which are collapsing before our very eyes (see "Monsters of Modernism, Monsters of Modernity" below), my time has been spent principally on completing the insertion of corrections into the text of volume one of "Conversion in Reverse: How the Ethos Americanism Converted Catholics and Contributed to the Rise of Conciliarism," which should be ready for purchase as a print-on-demand book by the end of this coming week. Two other book projects should appear shortly thereafter before writing resumes on the second and third volumes on "Conversion in Reverse."

Today's featured article was published over three months ago at the New Christ or Chaos website. It is relevant once again as the chief agent for indemnifying crimes of state in the United States of America, Attorney General Eric Holder, once again blamed "racism" for the motivating factor behind all opposition to his statist superior, Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro, and to himself. There is really nothing more to say on this despicable exercise in demagoguery than what was written three months ago, which is why it is presented anew to the vast multitudes in cyberspace.

The world is falling apart before our very eyes.

Security at the border between the United States of American and Mexico no longer exist. The thousands who are entering illegally are being welcomed by the current administration, something that was explained in Thursday's late-afternoon posting. The conciliar "bishops," who rarely say anything about the daily slaughter of the preborn by chemical and surgical means and are positively supportive of the agenda of the homosexual collective, are in complete sympathy with the administration of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro and its lawless disregard for the Natural Law right of a nation to maintain its sovereignty and its duty to assure an orderly process of immigration.

War is raging in Gaza and in Ukraine, where Russian separatists are preventing recovery teams from removing the bodies killed from the Maylasia Airline plane that was shot down with a surface--to-air missile three days ago and are actually celebrating the fact that the plane was shot down. So much for the conversion of Russia (a protracted study on the situation in Ukraine was published two months ago: "American Pots and Russian Kettles).

Through it all, though, the daily slaughter of the preborn continues and Jorge Mario Bergoglio's Vatican Radio even goes so far as to say that those steeped in sins of unnatural vice do not need to "convert," that they are perfectly permitted to identify themselves by their perverse inclinations.

Those who do not want to see that we are in living in the Great Apostasy can just go on being immersed merrily in worldliness and the blithe, irresponsible belief that one can simply ignore the heresies of the conciliar "popes" and live at peace as Catholics in "good standing" in the conciliar structures, are in need of our prayers.

Christ the King is trying to get our attention. Things cannot get much clearer, can they?

There should be a new article by tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Monsters of Modernism, Monsters of Modernity

Submitted by Dr. Thomas A. D... on

This article was almost ready to be published last night when connectivity with the internet was lost. Service was not restored until this morning, by which time some of the text for this new article had disappeared, Well, at least that prepared me to lose two more substantial blocks of text this afternoon, forcing rewrite after rewrite of what had been written. (And, yes, I had saved the text as I did the work!) Penance is better than ever in 2014.

The wonderful agency of the "civilization of love" known as the Israeli Defense Forces have invaded Gaza once again. Another Malayisan air liner has crashed, this time apparently by a surface to air missile strike in eastern Ukraine. Perversity is being celebrated widely all across the world and even within the walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Side of the Tiber River.

Through it all, of course, Jorge Mario Bergoglio smiles and continues to condemn believing Catholics who try to maintain the integrity of the Holy Faith despite their own sins and failings.

We live in a time of monsters of Modernism and monsters of Modernity.

May God have mercy on us all!

Our Lady of Humility, pray for us.

Saint Alexius, pray for us.

Shielding Us With Her Love and Care

Submitted by Dr. Thomas A. D... on

We must use the shield of Our Lady of Mount Carmel's Brown Scapular to defend us against all of the attacks of the devil in our lives, especially as we seek to protect ourselves from the contagions of conciliarism, including the insidious lie of false ecumenism.

This great feast today, of course, represents what tremendous love that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has for us by sending us His Most Blessed Mother to give us a sacramental by which we are clothed in the garment of her Brown Scapular, which serves as a particular protection at the moment of death if we have been faithful to all of the conditions of our enrollment. Our Lord has permitted His Most Blessed Mother to give us so many aids to get home to Heaven--the Rosary, the Brown Scapular, the Miraculous Medal, the Green Scapular, devotion to her Immaculate Heart as part of her Fatima Message. We must wear our Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel constantly as we bear witness as best we can that we have been given a loving Mother in Heaven who intercedes for us to live in such a way in this passing, mortal vale of tears that we will always be ready to die and have her pleading for us nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen."

Let us continue to pray for each other and for Holy Mother Church in this time of apostasy and betrayal as we shield ourselves in Our Lady's garment of the Mount Scapular and pray with fervor and devotion her Most Holy Rosary every day.

A blessed Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel to you you all!

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.

Saint Simon Stock, pray for us.

I intended to have a commentary dealing with the recent--but entirely unsurprising--revelations about the butchers at Planned Barrenhood. Work continues on this commentary, whose completion was impeded on the Feast of Saint Henry by a number of things, including getting the news about minivan's repairs (new radiator, new head gasket, rebuilt engine head, new water pump and radiator hoses--little things such as those). All is within the Providence of God. All is accepted with joy and gratitude.

Yesterday's original commentary, "Offend Only By Catholic Truth," can be found below. Just scroll down. Thank you.

Intent on Spreading the Holy Faith

Submitted by Dr. Thomas A. D... on

Today is the Feast of Saint Henry the Emperor, my own Confirmation patron saint.

Saint Henry the Emperor was a superb exemplar of the Social Reign of Christ the King who sought to foster peace among men by promoting the missionary work of Holy Mother Church in parts of central and eastern Europe near the end of the First Millennium. He knew that Catholicism was the one and only foundation of personal and social order, seeking at all times to honor Christ the King and Mary our Immaculate Queen. May we plead with him this day and every day to help us to see the world more clearly through the eyes of the Catholic Faith as the consecrated slaves of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, He Who is the King of every man and every nation on the face of this earth without any exception whatsoever, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

There should be an original article published at some point tomorrow for those remaining as readers of this site. Given the constraints of my own time, it is hard to choose from among a variety of different items in the news from the mad word of Modernism and from the mad world of Modernity.

Suffice it to say for the moment that what I wrote in Jorge Cooks the Books three months ago now applies to the Argentine Apostate's latest interview with the nonagenarian atheist Eugenio Scalfari of La Repubblica. Bergoglio knows full well what he is doing. Although he feigns a concern for the commissars on his "Council of Eight," these interviews are very carefully calculated ways to make it impossible for any possible "fuddy duddies" in the conciliar hierarchy to eradicate any remaining vestiges of Catholicism in the structures of his false church. Bergoglio's agenda is thus defined by the following single paragraph in Pope Saint Pius X's Pascendi Dominici Gregis, September 8, 1907 (by the way. I am still trying to figure out how to italicize words and to provide hyperlinks in the text of these daily introductions):

"It remains for Us now to say a few words about the Modernist as reformer. From all that has preceded, it is abundantly clear how great and how eager is the passion of such men for innovation. In all Catholicism there is absolutely nothing on which it does not fasten. They wish philosophy to be reformed, especially in the ecclesiastical seminaries. They wish the scholastic philosophy to be relegated to the history of philosophy and to be classed among absolute systems, and the young men to be taught modern philosophy which alone is true and suited to the times in which we live. They desire the reform of theology: rational theology is to have modern philosophy for its foundation, and positive theology is to be founded on the history of dogma. As for history, it must be written and taught only according to their methods and modern principles. Dogmas and their evolution, they affirm, are to be harmonized with science and history. In the Catechism no dogmas are to be inserted except those that have been reformed and are within the capacity of the people. Regarding worship, they say, the number of external devotions is to be reduced, and steps must be taken to prevent their further increase, though, indeed, some of the admirers of symbolism are disposed to be more indulgent on this head. They cry out that ecclesiastical government requires to be reformed in all its branches, but especially in its disciplinary and dogmatic departments They insist that both outwardly and inwardly it must be brought into harmony with the modern conscience which now wholly tends towards democracy; a share in ecclesiastical government should therefore be given to the lower ranks of the clergy and even to the laity and authority which is too much concentrated should be decentralized The Roman Congregations and especially the index and the Holy Office, must be likewise modified The ecclesiastical authority must alter its line of conduct in the social and political world; while keeping outside political organizations it must adapt itself to them in order to penetrate them with its spirit. With regard to morals, they adopt the principle of the Americanists, that the active virtues are more important than the passive, and are to be more encouraged in practice. They ask that the clergy should return to their primitive humility and poverty, and that in their ideas and action they should admit the principles of Modernism; and there are some who, gladly listening to the teaching of their Protestant masters, would desire the suppression of the celibacy of the clergy. What is there left in the Church which is not to be reformed by them and according to their principles?" (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, No. 38)

Well, perhaps that is all that needs to be said, at least for now. I will, though, have another original article for you by tomorrow, God willing and Our Lady interceding.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel, pray for us.

Saint Henry the Emperor, pray for us.

Bergoglio Shows Us Hell Every Day

Submitted by Dr. Thomas A. D... on

Well, welcome back to the original Christ or Chaos website, albeit with a slightly different, although recognizable, look on its front page and on pages created from hereon out than appeared between February 20, 2004, and January 24, 2014, when the Contribute software no longer permitted me to edit or create new pages on this site. The non-functionality of the Contribute software forced me to convert a little used site that had been created to promote a book published two years ago, and it has been on that site that articles have been appearing since January 27, 2014.

The revamped Christ or Chaos site permits readers to access articles archived on this site and those located on the temporary site that has been used for almost exactly six months. The Articles page above lists each of the articles published between January 1, 2006, and today, July 14, 2014, the Feast of Saint Bonaventure, although readers will be directed back to the temporary site for those articles published between January 27, 2014, and July 11, 2014. Those articles will be transferred over the course of time to this site on a piecemeal basis until the temporary site can be shut down entirely. Given the press of daily duties and the work to put out volume one of Conversion in Reverse in a print-on-demand format (as well as to write volumes two and three and deal with at least three other book projects), that transfer process may take a time.

The new look for this site was recommended by an enterprising reader, who worked very hard at doing everything that I wanted done, taking the time to walk this technological nincompoop through the steps of accessing and creating articles on it. There will be a learning curve, and my work is going to get somewhat easier in a few days when a new computer arrives (thanks to the generosity of two individuals who responded to a private solicitation in this regard), one that will run on Windows 7 and not the horrible Windows 8. The new look for the site has been created on "Drupal," which is similar to the Word Press that was used for the temporary home of my new articles but which I find much easier to use. I believe that readers will agree that the new look is much more reader-friendly. I thank this reader tremendously for his superb help and great patience with this "tech" ignoramus. Thank you.

Today's article?

Well, it's about Jorge Mario Bergoglio's meeting three weeks ago, on the Feast of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, with representations of the "Global Evangelical Alliance" and this hideous apostate's expressed intention to go to a Pentecostalist "church" in Rome to apologize how the Catholic Church "oppressed" its presence in the Eternal City. Although there is a fine post on this matter at Novus Ordo Watch Wire (linked in the body of today's article), I do have a few things to say on the denial of the Catholic Faith and of the very definition of Holy Mother Church's Divine Constitution. Actually, more than a few things to say.

I may disappear for a few days until I make more headway on inserting corrections in volume one of Conversion in Reverse. However, just keep checking.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Bonaventure, pray for us.

Transfigured in All Glory on Mount Thabor

Submitted by Dr. Thomas A. D... on

Today is the great Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on Mount Thabor in the presence of the Apostles Peter, James and John and in the company of Moses and Elias. God the Father repeated the proclamation that He had made as His Co-Equal Son made Flesh in Our Lady's Virginal and Immaculate Womb was baptized by His cousin, Saint John the Baptist in the Jordan River prior to the assumption of His Public Ministry, "This is My beloved Son, hear yet Him."

Our Lord was transfigured in the glory that He shared with the God the Father and God the Holy Ghost for all eternity in Heaven in order to show forth His Sacred Divinity to Saints Peter, the first Pope, Saint James, the first Bishop of Jerusalem and the first of the Apostles to be martyred, and Saint James's brother, Saint John, the beloved Apostle and the Apostle of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, to help console them during the events of His Passion and Death. It is our goal to be transfigured in glory for all eternity in Heaven.

The only path to the heavenly Mount Thabor, however, is by climbing atop Mount Calvary every day of our lives, willingly bearing our crosses in reparation for our sins and those of the world as we offer whatever merit we gain for the patient and joyful endurance of these crosses to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Indeed, our climb to Heaven by ascending first to Mount Calvary is signified every day a true bishop or a true priest completes the prayers at the foot of the altar and ascends the three steps (mystically symbolic of the Thee Persons of the Most Blessed Trinity and of the three stages of the interior life) to the altar itself.

If we desire to be transfigured in all glory in Heaven we must, therefore, be willing to be shamed and humiliated by the the ignominy associated with the Holy Cross. The glories of Heaven are worth such temporary shame and humiliation and ignominy, are they not?

May Our Lady, who awaits us in the heavenly Mount Thabor and intercedes for us from there, help us to ascend to Mount Calvary every day in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass so that we can keep her company at the foot of the Cross every day our lives as a a preparation for spending all eternity in the glories of Heaven with her and Saint Joseph and all of the angels and the saints.

A blessed Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to you all. 

Although I made very, very good progress on the next article, I was called away early last evening to get some medication for a few persistent ailments, and duty to the family compels me to spend most of this feast day running errands. There is not very much more work to do on the commentary, which runs a little over thirty pages as of this posting, but, unlike even as late as four or five years ago, it is very difficult to work into the overnight hours. I expect to finish the work remaining and then format for posting on Wednesday. Thank you for your patience.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Peter, pray for us.

Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us.

Saint James the Greater, pray for us.

Pope Saint Sixtus II, Saints Felicissimus and Agapitus, pray for us.
