What
is Truth?
Pilate
said
to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus
answered, "You say that I am a
king. For this I was born, and for
this I have come into the world,
to bear witness to the truth.
Every one who is of the truth
hears my voice."
Pilate
said
to him, "What is truth?"
This
exchange
between our Lord and Pilate in John
18 seems
particularly appropriate to the
political and religious debates
raging on in the world about us.
After all, it is at this
point in the gospel narrative that
politics engages religion, and
while the conversation is brief,
it is, none the less, loaded with
deeper meanings.
Asked if he is a king,
Jesus turns the tables on Pilate:
“You say that I am a king.” He
then describes his mission as that
of bearing witness to the truth.
And Pilate, in turn, waxes
philosophical and poses the deeper
question, “What is truth?”
This
question
is only found in John’s gospel,
and it is at
this point in Luke’s
that Pilate suddenly remembers
that Herod is in town and that, as
a Galilean, Jesus can be handed
off to his jurisdiction.
It would have been
fascinating to hear a more in
depth discussion on the topic of
truth between the Lord and Pilate,
particularly in light of the Lucan
appearance before Herod that
involves Jesus refusing to perform
supernatural parlor tricks or
engage in (what we can only
presume to be) inane conversation.
In the political and
ecclesial reality of our day,
everyone seems to have his or her
own version of the truth, there is
a general disdain for, and denial
of, all things supernatural in the
public discourse, and the ensuing
and endless inane conversation
seems to do little but lead our
nation and our world ever onward
into deeper conflict.
Perhaps
we
would do well to go back and
ponder with Pilate for a moment as
to just what truth itself is,
since so many claim to have the
market on it cornered, and so few
seem to have even the slightest
clue as to what they are talking
about concerning it.
And, perhaps, we should
be paying more attention, and not
less, to he who claimed to bear
witness to it: Jesus of Nazareth.
While Jesus stands mute
before Pilate on this question of
truth, it should be noted that the
action that is about to take place
will demonstrate to Pilate, and to
the world, exactly what truth is.
Rather than wax
philosophical here myself, let me
first just define truth in the
most simple and straightforward
way that I can: it is what is so.
In
the gospel accounts, that which
follows the encounter with Pilate
is the remarkable story of the
death of Jesus at the cross, and
the even more remarkable story of
his ensuing resurrection from the
dead.
In submitting himself to
the crudest, most humiliating, and
painful death the twisted and
inhumane mind of man could
conceive, then rising from the
tomb, and showing himself not
merely reanimated but gloriously
transformed in being, Jesus
fulfilled his stated mission of
bearing witness to the truth: the
eternal truth of God. And, in
doing so, he demonstrated a human
potential far exceeding anything
the mind of man had conceived of
up until that time or, for that
matter, up until this time.
In
turn,
his disciples who witnessed these
events, now transformed into
apostles by the experience, bore
witness to the truth of what they
had seen: that this happened; that
this is so.
And the gospel writers
recorded these events so that this
witness to the truth of God would
be preserved, and transmitted, to
a dying world in desperate need of
the deeper truth that in Christ
Jesus man has the potential to be
saved from death and likewise
transformed in being so as to live
forever in the presence of God.
This is the eternal truth
of the Catholic Church, as
preserved in her unchangeable
dogmas, and as set forth in her
unchanging doctrines, and it is
this truth that transformed the
world from the decadent and cruel
paganism of the Romans to the
Christian culture that only now is
dying right before our eyes.
Ironically
enough,
while
the Christian world’s quest for
higher knowledge spawned the
highest culture known to history,
it also revealed the inherent flaw
in man’s fallen psyche: that which
he cannot understand and control
he denies, and that which he
denies he ultimately destroys.
In retrospect, it is
perfectly logical that the theology of the middle ages,
a theology that longed to
understand the deeper mind of God,
would ultimately inspire a
scientific type of inquiry that
would eventually pronounce Him
dead (or at the least render Him
obsolete and ineffectual).
The secular world has
long embraced this as its new
reality, but due to its dogmatic
nature, this has been neither
quick nor easy for the Catholic
Church.
It has taken an
ecumenical council and over half a
century of internal struggle for
it to re-justify its existence as
the social conscience of this
secular world’s emerging global
order, and to redefine itself in
the new role of arbiter of social
justice.
Eternal
truth
doesn’t change, but the perception
and acceptance of it does, and the
result of its denial is a world
teetering once again on the brink
of the precipice on which the
cross stood.
Man, now in denial of,
and unmotivated by the eternal
promise of Christ, returns like
the dog of Proverbs to the vomit
of his old pagan ways.
Turn on the TV and look
at it.
Go downtown and see it
for yourself.
Observe how the evil
one that Jesus warned us of
raises up a neo-Roman World Empire
that is now poised to assume the
global dominance so long sought
after by the original.
And see how the Catholic
Church, the very instrument of
man’s salvation, now accepts,
promotes and aids in bringing
about a globalist new world order
that is the antithesis of what she
professes in her dogmas and
doctrines.
Don’t be so rigid we are
told.
Who are we to judge?
Now
this
is my point of view, I have my
reasons for holding it, and I can
explain it –
which I will. Likewise, the
viewpoints of others are based
upon a varying and widely
divergent understanding concerning
just what this all means, and just
what the reality of it might
be. What is truth?
It remains what is so.
But the perception
of what is so – the subjective
understanding of what is the
truth – varies greatly according
to individual prejudices,
perspectives, core beliefs, and
the deeply personal biases and
opinions formed
over a lifetime. And so
the debate is endless concerning
which of the wide variety and
number of purveyors of information
knows the truth and is “…telling
it like it is,” as Howard
Cosell used to say.
Sharing
my
point of view, and telling it like
it is from my perspective, Michael
Voris, executive editor of Church Militant, recently described the
conflict in our nation and our
world as a growing confrontation
between believers and
nonbelievers: “This is breaking
down into forces that believe in
God and those that don’t,” he
said, adding, “Largely, I would
say this is a war of religion
versus nonreligion.”
Being
quoted
within the context of a New York Times article written from the
politically correct perspective
that the secular left is right on
the money, and the religious
Christian right is deluded,
ignorant and dangerous, seemed to
make Mr. Voris’ point better than
he could have done himself.
And the following remarks
from the Rev. John T. Pawlikowski,
a professor of social ethics at
the Catholic Theological Union in
Chicago, referring to the broader
“movement”
that includes ChurchMilitant.com,
served to illustrate this all the
more: “This is a hard-core group,
and the question is whether the
number is growing. If the Trump
election baptizes this stuff as
more authentic Catholic teaching,
that would be a disaster.”
What
is
this “stuff” that Father
Pawlikowski refers to?
It is described this
way on
ChurchMilitant.com: “The
cornerstone of the Church Militant
mission [is to] learn about
the truth, beauty and goodness of
the One True Faith established
personally by Jesus Christ.”
The Trump administration is
also “baptizing” such stuff as an
end to abortion, freedom of
religious expression, and the same
kind of patriotism and morality
that Church Militant espouses.
What is the “more authentic
Catholic teaching” of Father
Pawlikowski?
It is the same brand of
liberal “Catholicism” Pope Francis
puts forth, it is Catholic in name
only, and it is informed not by
Christian conscience, the faith
and tradition of the Catholic
Church, and the truth of Jesus
Christ as referenced above
concerning the cross and the empty
tomb, but it is instead a false
teaching informed by the worldly
politics of the global left, which is
built upon the anti-religious
religion
of 20th century scientism.
It is anything but
Catholic, yet those who profess it
consider this the “true” Catholic
faith, while denouncing those who
profess the true faith as “hard
core” – I presume as in “hard core
fundamentalist.”
Michael
Voris
is right.
Our world is
essentially breaking down into
factions that believe in God and
those that don’t.
And exactly who it is
that comprises the religious and
nonreligious may come as a
surprise to many.
We live in a time of
twisted realities, and I suspect
who ultimately occupies heaven and
hell may end up being equally
surprising and for the same
reasons.
Let
me illustrate:
When
the Catholic left looks to Pope
Francis, they see a progressive
and compassionate crusader for the
rights of all humankind: a humble,
humane and urbane man of letters
positioned in the right place and
time to lead the backward thinking
Catholic Church, once and for all
time, out the dark age that she
herself created, past the
inquisition of the innocent souls
she has tormented, and into the new age of man that is now
dawning thanks to the decline and
impending fall of the traditional
Catholic faith.
Gone
are
such medieval superstitions as the
Real Presence of Christ in the
Holy Eucharist, and welcome is the
new Jesus of the modernist
scholars: the man of goodwill,
unlimited in his love for
humanity, and concerned only with
the inhumanity to each other that
limits us. This is the sweet,
gentle and effeminate Jesus of the
Jesus
Seminar; the
itinerant and uneducated preacher
of wisdom and love, who wandered
the dusty roads of ancient
Palestine and who, with a band of
simple friends, proclaimed a
gospel no more complicated than
love for each other brings
friendship with God.
The more complex words
concerning his sacrifice for sin
at the cross, repentance as
requisite for eternal life, and
hell’s fire as punishment for the
unrepentant, were placed in his
mouth (and recorded in the
gospels) by those who later had
the audacity to found a religion
in his name.
We came to call them the
Church Fathers.
It is they who invented
the anti-Semitic story of the
conflict with the Jewish leaders
and blamed them for condemning
poor Jesus to death.
It was, in actuality, the
Romans who condemned him, somehow
mistaking Jesus for a political
revolutionary, and so crucified
him as an insurrectionist because
his Davidic lineage made him out
to be some sort of king.
In the post-Conciliar,
“progressive” Catholic Church,
this nonsense is what passes as
formation for the priesthood and
catechesis for the faithful.
This is that “different
Jesus” and “different gospel” that
St. Paul so warned of in 2
Corinthians 11:4, and it is
indeed of a “different spirit”:
They call it the “spirit
of Vatican II.”
When
traditionalist Catholics (those
deemed “rad
trads” by the smug
liberals) look to Pope Francis
they see the leader of the
Christian world reducing the
gospel of salvation in Christ
Jesus to platitudes about good
deeds for the poor.
They see him promote and
encourage Bishop
Sordano and the Pontifical
Academy
of Sciences and the
Pontifical
Academy
of Social Sciences
in inviting Paul
Ehrlich and other
anti-Catholic individuals
to the Vatican to speak as
experts; “experts” who promote the
globalist
population
control agenda; an
agenda of abortion, contraception
and euthanasia; an
agenda that whispers of
widespread genocide;
an agenda that is the antithesis
of traditional Catholic teaching.
What they now hear in Rome
is the proclamation of a new
gospel; that different gospel that
replaces the death of the One for
the salvation of the many with the
false, Luciferian
gospel
of the death of the many for the
salvation of the planet.
It is indeed a different
gospel; it is a pagan gospel; it is the gospel
of death.
And the platitudes of
good deeds for the poor in a world
(supposedly) depleted of resources
amounts to kind words designed
merely to keep the rabble
unroused.
And this while keeping
them poor, and adding to their
numbers, until the wheat is
separated from the chaff –
and the chaff bundled for the
burning.
All hail Gaia!
The great sacrifice is at
hand!
Make ready the holocaust!
And
the
Pope is on board
with this.
Welcome
to
the new Vatican State, where the
state of the Vatican is denial of
the sovereign beliefs of the
Catholic Church, and this is but a
small price to pay for admission
to the globalist anti-Christ
party.
If it is not so that Lucifer
is enthroned within the
Vatican, as Father
and Doctor Malachi Martin told us,
then why does the Holy Father and
the Curia behave this way?
Revelation is fulfilled
before our very eyes. And so
it is that she who is seated upon
the many waters now pays homage to
the nameless, seven headed beast
of global socialism: a new world
order that rises up from the sea
of human despair. And the once
Holy, Catholic and Apostolic
Church of Jesus Christ is now
arrayed in purple and gold and
climbs willingly upon its back.
And the day is fast upon us
when, raising the Holy Chalice of
Christ, overflowing with the blood
of God’s holy people and the
martyrs of Jesus, her fallen son
will consecrate this beast to Lucifer
and proclaim its unholy name, “Novus Ordo Seclorum!”
In the vernacular, “The New
World Order of the Ages!”
And those on the Catholic
left, who stand with the pope,
will applaud, cheer, and say to
the assembled Church, “Now truly this
is the son of God!
This is the real Jesus!
Think
it’s
too extreme and offensive to use
the imagery of the Whore of Babylon from
Revelation in this way?
Wouldn’t St.
John the Revelator find it
too extreme and offensive to
witness the Church of our day in
service to the very same fallen
world power that crucified our
Lord?
Indeed, is this not what
he did see?
Our failure to recognize
this for what it is comprises
another aspect of the truth:
denial of it.
There are those who do
this willingly and those who do it
from ignorance and through
intellectual rationalization.
Like Jesus told Pilate, it
is those who deliver him up again
to the world in the form of
abortion, euthanasia, eugenics,
and all forms of genocide knowingly
who have the greater sin.
However, those who are
complicit in this through denial
of the evil one, who directs it
both within and without the
Church, must also bear a certain
responsibility for their actions.
And those who are aware of
this, and who see it for what it
is, also bear the responsibility
to point it out; as others have
done and as I am attempting to do
here in my own humble way.
There is a desperate need
for the prophetic voice to be
heard in the 21st
century, and, as usual, this kind
of thing is never in vogue, and
there are always those anxious to
see it silenced.
How
did
such circumstances as these come
about?
It
had been the hope of Pope John
Paul II that the syncretistic
theology of Joseph Cardinal
Ratzinger could forge a workable
synthesis between the
pre-conciliar Catholicism still
popular among the traditionalist
right within the Church, and the 20th
century scientism
of the Jesuit theologian and
naturalist Pierre
Teilhard de Chardin,
SJ.
It
was Teilhard, the father of the Nouvelle Theologie movement, who provided much of the inspiration for the conjuring
of the demon “spirit of Vatican
II” among the Catholic left: a
spirit bent on normalizing worldly
immorality, as it sought to
transform the ancient Church of
Christ into a circus of modernist
error and secular,
worldly belief.
This hope for synthesis
was dashed during the reign of
Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI,
when the power play going on in
the Roman hierarchy was won by the
leftists, forcing
his resignation.
The result was the
ascendency of Jorge
Bergoglio to the
papacy as Pope Francis, a Jesuit
formed in the Nouvelle
Theologie of Teilhard, and
anxious to please the
anti-Catholic globalist
masters who rule the Church.
A
"Catholic Spring" for America
Obviously,
not
everyone agrees with this
perspective and I’m good with
that.
I really am.
I am an American and the
beauty of this great nation is
that we are all given the freedom
to define the truth for ourselves,
each according to his own
conscience, and each in keeping
with his own heart.
And this works out well
when the truth for each of us
individually comes together as a
whole and works towards what is
best for the nation.
As E.B. White once opined,
“Democracy is the recurrent
suspicion that more than half of
the people are right more than
half the time,” and there is, I
believe, a lot of simple truth in
this.
However,
this
truth is being sorely tested, and
the very fabric of our nation is
in danger of being rent, due to
the efforts of a highly strident
and vocal minority on the left
that insists that their version of
the truth is the one that must
prevail.
And they control the
mainstream media.
They are so adamant and
insistent in this that they are
willing to accept funding from
anti-American and anti-Christian
sources such as George
Soros, take to the
streets in violence, and rig the
very system of American government
itself so that it hands the
sovereignty of this country over
to the leftist global elite: a
leftist global elite who seek
worldwide dominance through the
final subjugation of the great
political obstacle that once stood
in the way of their agenda; a free
and independent United States of
America still ruled by a
government of the people, by the
people, for the people; a
government perilously close to
perishing from the earth.
When
I looked at candidate Hillary
Clinton, I saw the final
transformation of America into a
secular and anti-Christian nation:
a nation ruled by a confederation
of satanists, atheists,
anarchists, abortionists, sexual
deviants and perverts, whining
spoiled celebrities, and academic
malcontents, all whipped into a
fury by a mainstream media
propaganda machine bent on molding
the ignorant and the huddled
masses (many of whom huddle here
illegally) into an unstoppable
juggernaut for the Democratic
Party. I saw the specter of
a near future with borders opened
even wider, and I saw the blood of
innocent Americans flowing in the
streets at the hands of un-vetted
Muslim radicals: un-vetted Muslim
radicals given preference of entry
over the persecuted Christians of
the troubled lands from which they
came.
I saw abortion not only
on demand but by government edict
for those challenged with physical
or mental handicaps.
I saw the elderly, the
infirm and those deemed the lesser
“put out of their misery” through
euthanasia, and I saw FEMA camps
chocked as full as Auschwitz with
the Christians and true Americans
of all faiths who protested these
abominations.
And I saw that once great
political obstacle to global
domination, the land of the free
and the home of the brave, the
United States of America, teeter
and begin to fall out of the way.
I saw a Catholic
Spring in the full
bloom of summer, and those on the
Catholic left who stand with the
pope applaud, cheer and say to the
assembled Church, “Now surely this
is America!
This is my
country!”
And
so many other Catholics and myself
voted for Donald Trump, and
continue to pray for him every
day, as these same forces, and
even those in his own party, work
to bring his presidency to ruin
and failure.
And with it, the last
chance for America to be America
again; not necessarily to be
great, but merely to survive.
And given that so many are
so ignorant of what is happening,
or worse, know and are complicit,
I pray for all who have brought us
to this sad state of affairs
where, in the unlikely person of
Donald Trump, we find our last
thin hope as a nation.
And I urge all people of
faith and goodwill to pray for
America and for all Americans, for
our problems, like the dumb
spirit of Mark 9,
are of the kind that cannot be
driven out by anything but prayer.
It’s time we learned once
and for all, before it is too late
forever, that what ails America
will not be solved in the voting
booth but only on our knees.
The
same
goes for the Catholic Church.
Those on the left applaud
and cheer the pope, while those on
the right fall to their knees and
pray for his conversion and their
deliverance.
And this is parallel to
those on the American political
left who mourn the loss of the
election and the electorate and
demand the failure of Donald
Trump’s presidency, while those on
the right pray for him and cheer
him on while being demonized in
the mainstream media for it.
It is interesting that
America is making this last-ditch
attempt to turn back to the right
at precisely the time that the
Catholic Church is making a
profound and long planned shift
to the left, and
the challenge within both to find
unity in the midst of such
diversity is daunting.
It is, however, a much
more hopeful and less fearful
scenario than that envisioned by
the globalists in which a Hillary
Clinton administration would be
pushing Catholic Americans into a
“Catholic Spring,” just as Pope
Francis, in the spirit of Vatican
II, is throwing open the doors of
the Church to the New
World Order population control
agenda.
It
is this scenario that now plays
itself out daily within the
Catholic media that I follow and
report on for Radio New Jerusalem.
Over the past few years, a
more "traditionalist" and
conservative minded Catholic
online presence has assumed an
exciting new role as the “go to”
alternative media for the “believing”
American Catholic. And, as I
reported in an article the week
after the November election,
titled “Seedpods
of a Catholic Spring or: How I
Stopped Worrying and Learned
to Love the Satan2”,
it
was this Catholic online media
that played a vital, if not
instrumental role, in turning the
tide of the 2016 presidential
election to President Trump.
And that's a good thing; a ray of
hope in a world ever more engulfed
in the gathering darkness of a
new, frightening and godless age.
Don't
agree? That's fine.
That's your right. But when
I, in prayer and meditation, pose
Pilate's question to the Lord,
“What is truth?” this is the
answer I get.
This is how I see truth.
This is how I know the truth. And,
yes, it is a prophetic
truth, and, I suppose, as much as
anything, I just simply wish to be
honest about that.
My point is that in the
course of my life I have gone
through many changes and
transformations, and since this
web site contains writings
of mine dating back
some 40 years, any reader who
should bother to look at these
works in any depth will notice
that many of my perceptions and
observations have changed over the
course of time.
Indeed, my views on
politics and organized religion
have shifted back to the right
over the course of the past year,
as I have learned, like Neville
Chamberlain did, that the policy
of appeasement doesn’t work any
better with American and Catholic
“progressives” than it did with
Adolph Hitler.
Still,
I have always endeavored to tell
the truth and the truth that
underlies it all, and which
remains forever unchanged and
unchangeable, never subject to
compromise, and always exempt from
negotiation, is the truth of the
cross as stated at the outset.
For these 40 years, from
the time I first heard the voice
of Christ in my heart until today,
I have, in my own stumbling and
flawed way, proclaimed the truth
of His death and resurrection as
the basis for eternal life, and I
have pronounced prophetically that
the world we live in is plunging
headlong towards the resolution of
a conflict with the Almighty that
began in Eden, came to fruition at
Calvary, is now approaching its
climax, and will end with the Lord
himself reentering the stage of
history.
This has remained
unchanged.
It has cost me an
academic career, a couple of
church careers, many friends,
limited my earning potential, and
it has
alienated some of my children.
It has made me a laughingstock and
the butt of jokes. It has
made me an embarrassment to many,
a pariah to a few, and a curiosity
to petty tyrants wielding
authority both worldly and
ecclesial. I've been called
crazy and wondered about it myself
sometimes. But
don’t
get me wrong: my only regret is
that I haven’t done a better job
of standing up for the truth of
Christ and proclaiming louder, and
without compromise, the message of
deliverance, redemption, and
eternal salvation He thrust into
my heart, with the power of the Lance of St. Longinus, on a
warm, May night many years ago.
And included in this regret is
that I have also let the world,
and those I love and respect in
it, temper the prophetic message
that is the only hope for our
world: at the end of these
troubled times, Jesus is coming
back!
What
is truth?
It is the lack of
compromise with evil, for all evil
is based upon lies, which is why
the devil is the father of lies.
And he brings our world
down to death and destruction and
horror by tempting the hearts of
men to compromise with evil in
order to bring about a modicum of
good.
The balances are always
rigged, and the evil always
outweighs this good, and when we
look at the end result of
millennia of this stupidity and
human weakness, played out to its
inevitable conclusion, we see the
looming Apocalypse
of St. John.
The Great Chastisement.
The
Three Days of Darkness.
And because the Catholic
Church has turned from the truth
of the Almighty, denies it, and
has disobeyed
the will and the way of even
the Mother of God
herself, the time of
these chastisements leading to
Christ’s return are nigh well upon
us.
Maybe in the eyes of the world
this is all crazy, but that
doesn't mean it isn't true, and
if the Church founded by Christ
himself turns away from the very
truth he entrusted to her and
embraces instead the ways and
beliefs of the world, then this,
by definition, is
the Great
Apostacy. And it is
here. Now.
When
the
hierarchy of the Catholic Church
are caught in the process of
making compromises with the truth
of Christ, and the freedoms of
religion and expression in America
are facing extinction through
leftist suppression, then the time
to openly and honestly discuss
these things is understandably
limited.
It is at such a time as
this when it becomes expedient and
necessary to move on from a
disagreement rather than to
sacrifice one’s personal integrity
upon the altar of someone's ego
and error.
For there is no
compromise at the cross and the
cross is, therefore, truth.
It is the answer to
Pilate’s question.
The
Christian
Democracy Experience
When
founder, publisher and old friend
Jack Quirk asked me to do a
regular column that would serve as
the end piece to each monthly
issue of Christian
Democracy
(an online magazine aimed at
promoting Catholic social teaching
within the American political
discourse), it was with the idea
that my work would provide a more
“prophetic” slant, hence the name
I selected for the column was “Camel’s
Hair and Locusts.”
It
was never lost on me that my real
function was to launch off in
diatribe that was expected to
bring into greater focus the “sanity”
inherent in the writings of the
more “serious minded”
contributors.
I reluctantly agreed to
do this with the idea in my mind
that perhaps a more prophetic
voice might just be able to
interject a deeper and more
transcendent truth into what was
otherwise an almost exclusively
(and leftward slanted) political
discussion.
I believe I largely
accomplished this from month to
month.
I wrote the column
“Camel’s Hair and Locusts” from
December, 2012 until we relocated
to Florida in April of 2015, and
again from July, 2016 until
October of this same year – a
total of 33 contributions over a
period of nearly four years.
I
considered it part of my role to
be party-neutral politically, and
I was (and am) quite serious about
the need to see the human
condition as called to a higher
purpose than that which is defined
by the endless discussion of the
earthly and the mundane as carried
on among the parties and the
pundits. One
of the points I continually harped
on was the need for all political
debate to be enlightened and
defined by the Christian faith,
and stressed that this is
particularly true in our United
States, considering the positive
and definitive role Christianity
has played over the past two and a
half centuries of our national
history, and the one hundred and
fifty years of our colonial
history that preceded it.
The suppression of the
Christian voice in the public
square in our times, especially
during the Barack Obama
administration, has served to
reduce what was once a higher
discussion in favor of the sacred
over the profane to our current
circumstances in which the profane
has become dominant and
dominating.
Because
of
this, America today finds herself
in a state of profound moral
decline in which the foundation
stones of marriage, family and the
sanctity of life have crumbled,
and the American shining “city upon a hill,” spoken
of in such loving terms by
Presidents Kennedy and Reagan, is
in the process of collapsing
forever and irretrievably into a
sea of atheistic and
anti-Christian global socialism.
While my message remained
the same throughout my tenure at Christian
Democracy, the advancing
leftist agenda of the Democratic
Party kept moving the perception
of it farther and farther to the
right, and me more and more into
the camp of the Republicans.
As
the election cycle of 2016 was
drawing to its unexpected climax –
the election of Donald Trump to
the presidency – a
dump of Wikileaks emails revealed
correspondence between Hillary
Clinton campaign chairman John
Podesta and Sandy Newman,
president and founder of the left
wing nonprofit Voices for
Progress. This
correspondence came to be known as
the “Catholic
Spring”
emails.
Here is a sampling:
“There needs to be a Catholic
Spring, in which Catholics
themselves demand the end of a
middle ages dictatorship and the
beginning of a little democracy
and respect for gender equality in
the Catholic Church,” writes
Newman to Podesta in an email
titled “opening for a Catholic
Spring? just musing.”
Podesta responds: “We created
Catholics in Alliance for the
Common Good to organize for a
moment like this. But I think it
lacks the leadership to do so now.
Likewise Catholics United. Like
most Spring movements, I think
this one will have to be bottom
up.”
When
I read this, it quickly occurred
to me that the leftist tendencies
of the other contributors at Christian
Democracy, along with Jack
Quirk’s ongoing apologetic of
Democratic Party politics as the
“lesser of evils” when compared to
the policies and personalities of
the Republicans, was something
from which I needed to immediately
distance myself.
I wanted no part, either
directly or indirectly, in
promoting Clinton’s
revolution
against the Catholic Church
in which the right to religious
freedom was to be sacrificed upon
the altar of her anti-religious
agenda:
“Rights have to exist in practice
— not just on paper,” Clinton
said. “Laws have to be backed up
with resources and political will.
And deep-seated cultural codes,
religious beliefs, and structural
biases have to be changed.”
“Seedpods
of
a Catholic Spring or: How I
Learned to Stop Worrying and Love
the Satan 2” was not published in
Christian
Democracy because publisher
Jack Quirk was, ostensibly,
offended at the idea that I would,
through my research for this
column, cite a series of articles
that reported the following:
These articles, which are based
upon on a significant dump of
emails from George Soros’ Open
Society Foundation, implicate the
hierarchy of the Catholic Church
from the United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops, all the way
up the ecclesial food chain to the
Vatican, in a “pay for play”
scandal that ultimately promotes
the same globalist agenda that we
witness in the Podesta emails.
Just as it is no
coincidence that Hillary Clinton
was openly promoted by Soros as
his candidate of choice in the
election just past, it is also no
accident that the American
Catholic bishops were largely
silent in opposing the unholy and
un-Catholic “progressive” agenda
of the Open Society Foundation she
represented.
This
resulted in the following
exchange:
Quirk:
I can’t go with the
bishops being part of a George
Soros conspiracy, not even as a
speculative possibility.
I’ll run the article
without the accusation.
Your choice.
Ropp:
Run it the way I wrote it
or not at all.
Quirk:
Very well, it will not be
run.
It is not true that the
US Bishops are in league with
George Soros to bring about some
Satanic new world order.
Ropp:
Suit yourself.
Quirk:
I’ll suit the 8th
Commandment.
I’m very sad right now.
Ropp:
You should be.
Quirk:
I suspect we have
different reasons for thinking
that would be so.
Let
me remind the reader at this point
that the John Podesta emails are
disputed by no one in content,
and, as noted above, call for a
“Catholic Spring” in the United
States in which the timeless
teachings of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church would be subverted, perverted,
and brought into line with the
godless, anti-life and anti-Christ
teachings of the American
Democratic Party.
And
at the root of this business of
the American bishops being under
the influence of George Soros is
the fact that this is nothing I
made up.
I reported it from a
series of articles in The
Remnant
that were written by Elizabeth
Yore and which I
referenced and linked to the
remarks that I made.
Who
is Elizabeth
Yore?
A fair question that
deserves a proper answer.
Here is her biographical
summary from The
Remnant:
Elizabeth
Yore
served on the Heartland Institute
Delegation that traveled to the
Vatican in April 2015 to urge Pope
Francis to re-examine his reliance
on UN population control
proponents who promote climate
change. She is an
international child protection
attorney who has investigated
several cases of clergy sex abuse
of children. She served as Special
Counsel and Child Advocate to
Oprah Winfrey. She is the former
General Counsel of the Illinois
Department of Children and Family
Services and former General
Counsel at National Center for
Missing and Exploited Children.
And
it's not like Elizabeth Yore is
the only source for this
information.
At the end of this
article, I have provided links
to this same data as it was
reported by others.
The source was a
Wikileaks dump and it’s not like
Elizabeth Yore had the only access
to it: it was, and is, public
knowledge, and it was reported
widely except in the left
controlled mainstream media.
“Fake News” isn’t just news
that is twisted or fabricated;
sometimes it is created by
reporting nothing at all.
I used Elizabeth Yore as
my sole source because a monthly
column has limits and because I
considered her to be a reliable
witness.
I also chose to use her
work because she is a regular
contributor to The Remnant, which I appreciate for two basic reasons: it is both
reliable in what it reports and it
is often brave enough to print
what others won’t.
Unlike
Christian
Democracy, in my experience.
A good historian always
considers those sources closest to
what is being reported to be the
most reliable, and Elizabeth Yore
has first-hand experience at the
Vatican, as she explained in an NPR
interview in
September of 2015:
So it was with a great deal of
consternation that I have grown to
really have a great amount of
reservations about this pope and
his stances because I really saw
firsthand at the Vatican what was
going on in this papacy.
Here
is
what she reported in her article
of August 23, 2016 in The
Remnant titled
“THE
POPE'S BOSS -- Wikileaks: Pope
and Soros An Unholy Alliance”:
Among the many smoking guns
uncovered in the Wikileaks data
dump, lurks documents that should
give Catholics great concern. The
latest Wikileaks data dump of
internal documents from George
Soros’ Open Society Foundation
exposes the most shocking of all
his political alliances. According
to the leaked Open Society
Foundation documents, George Soros
funds efforts to promote his
radical socialist agenda of income
inequality by using the bully
pulpit of Pope Francis. Soros
seeks to “engage the Pope on
economic and racial justice
issues” by lobbying the Vatican.
George
Soros
has openly referred to himself as
the “Pope’s
Boss” for over a
decade.
In the Francis
pontificate, this has taken on a
new and more sinister meaning.
Ms. Yore explains this
connection and backs up what she
says with quotes from the leaked
Open Society U.S. Board Meeting
Report:
The unholy alliance and strategic
plan is exposed in the leaked Open
Society U.S. Board Meeting May
2015 book on page 16:
Pope Francis Visit - $650,000
(USP)
Pope Francis’ first visit to the
United States in September will
include a historic address to
Congress, a speech at the United
Nations, and a visit to
Philadelphia for the “World
Meeting of Families.” In order to
seize this moment, we will support
PICO’s organizing activities to
engage the Pope on economic and
racial justice issues, including
using the influence of Cardinal
Rodriguez, the Pope’s senior
advisor,
and sending a
delegation to visit the Vatican in
the spring or summer to allow him
to hear directly from low-income
Catholics in America.
The purpose of the Soros/Vatican
collaboration skewers political to
influence the 2016 U.S. Elections,
thus securing the presidency for
Soros’ handpicked candidate,
Hillary Clinton.
The grant will also support FPL’s
media, framing, and public opinion
activities, including conducting a
poll to demonstrate that Catholic
voters are responsive to the
Pope’s focus on income inequality,
and earning media coverage that
drives the message that being
“pro-family” requires addressing
growing inequality. By harnessing
the Papal visit to lift up the
Pope’s searing critique of what he
calls “an economy of exclusion and
inequality” and his dismissal of
“trickle down” theories, PICO and
FPL will work to build a bridge to
a larger conversation about
bread-and-butter economic concerns
and shift national paradigms and
priorities in the run-up to the
2016 presidential campaign.
The Soros’ foundation clearly
views Pope Francis as an important
ally in the Soros income
inequality socialist movement and
in the run up to the 2016 U.S.
election. Notice how the radical
leftists in the Soros [camp]
reframe the words pro family
as “growing inequality.” This
grant description highlights how
the left hijacks language and
exploits it for its own radical
political advantage. Its partner
in promoting the transformational
language is the leftist media.
This
might
be a good place to pause and
wonder why it is that the United
State Congress and the mainstream
media are so obsessed with the
idea that Vladimir Putin and the
Russians might have influenced the
2016 presidential election in
favor of Donald Trump, when it is
a documented fact that George
Soros and his various front
organizations actually did do this
for Hillary Clinton! Why
don’t they investigate this?
Along with the “great
concern” Elizabeth Yore rightly
urges on American Catholics should
follow shock and outrage that so
much of this influence was (and
is) wielded through the
“imperialist running dogs” of
George Soros: the Democratic Party
and the American Catholic Church.
Why
would
the United
State Conference of Catholic
Bishops sell out the Catholic
faith and faithful
to a Democratic Party bent on
transforming the Church into an
institution that is the antithesis
of everything that she has stood
for over the past two millennia?
In the speculation that follows,
Elizabeth Yore raises this same
question and the answer seems to
be that it is because there are
still those of the mind of Judas
standing among the apostles of
Christ.
And the stakes in our
world are much higher than a mere
30 pieces of silver.
This is from her article
of September 6, 2016, titled, “The
Money Trail: Why Catholic
Bishops Are Silent on Hillary”:
Crickets.......
The silence about Hillary Clinton
is deafening. One hears nothing
but crickets from the U.S. Bishops
and Cardinals about the democratic
presidential candidate’s radical
pro-abortion stance, but for the
banished Cardinal Raymond Burke.
Why are they sitting mute on the
sidelines? How could they be
conflicted between an abortion
laden democratic platform and the
most prolife republican platform
ever? Seems like an obvious choice
for Catholics. After all, St. John
Paul II described life as “the
most basic and fundamental right
and the condition for all other
personal rights.” What’s going on?
When in doubt, follow the money.
This ecclesial trail is flush with
cash.
Could
it
be that the bishops don’t want to
anger their federal piggy bank by
squealing about that rabid
abortion loving democratic
candidate, Hillary Clinton?
Could
it
be that the USCCB enjoys and wants
to continue to be awash in Obama
cash?
Did
the
democratic Obama Administration
buy the election silence of the
Catholic episcopacy by bestowing
millions of federal dollars into
the coffers of Catholic
institutions?
Do
the
Bishops believe that a President
Hillary Clinton is preferred
because she will continue to fund
their plentiful federal grants for
Muslim refugee resettlement?
Oh,
the
irony! This is the same Obama
Administration that has forced
lawsuits by the Little Sisters of
the Poor, Catholic schools,
Catholic businesses and Catholic
lay organizations for mandating
compliance with Obamacare rules in
violation of Catholic doctrine.
Yet, the Bishops stand
ready, willing, and able with
their hand in the federal cookie
jar to implement the Muslim
refugee resettlement agenda.
While
the
Little Sisters of the Poor battled
Uncle Sam, the U.S. Bishops and
Cardinals were lining the Church
coffers with blood money from
Uncle Sam.
This
isn’t
about conscience, folks. It’s
about their checkbook.
To be fair to the USCCB,
which is something I truly strive
for, let me say that I am not
unaware that we still have some
faithful bishops in the United
States.
We also have some who are
not, and who are actively involved
in the anti-Catholic, leftist
agenda I have outlined here, and,
to make my point as Elizabeth Yore
has made hers, these are the men
who are, and have been, guiding
the post-Conclliar Catholic
Church in the United States into all things
“progressive.”
In two earlier works of
mine, “The
Church Possessed: The
Homosexualist Revolution in
the Roman Catholic Church”
and “Why
We Must Not Fiddle While Rome
Burns” I went into
the causes of the splits and
divisions that exist in the
American Church in some detail,
so, for our purpose here, just let
me state that the tendency for
some bishops to put their own
politics, sexuality, and
anti-Catholic loyalties at a
higher priority than upholding the
Catholic faith is not a new
problem, it is hardly unknown, and
neither is the problem of
supposedly faithful bishops
remaining silent.
They go along to get
along.
And none of this is
“speculative.”
There
have
been foxes in the ecclesial
hen-house for many generations,
stretching back through the
history of the Church, and all the
way back to Mr. Iscariot himself,
I suppose.
But in our time this
situation is coming to a head at
precisely the same time that the
political climate of the world is
shifting radically and
irreversibly to the left.
This political climate
change is the one we should be
truly concerned about, for it is
much more real and dangerous than
the man-made
climate change hysteria
the globalist left is using to
unite the world in the common
cause of “saving the planet.” And
even more dangerous is the
religious climate change taking
place in Rome that sees this as
more in tune with Catholic
teaching than saving the souls
upon this planet unto heaven.
The
“crisis”
in the Church we hear so much
about has roots that run much
deeper than the Vatican II
Council, and it is not about the
“modernist” Pope Francis versus
the “traditionalist” Pope Benedict
XVI.
These two men simply
represent the
left and right sides of the
same Nouvelle
Theologie coin.
The real issue is a
Catholic Church hierarchy that has
accepted modernism, “the
synthesis of all heresies”
and scientism, “the
synthesis of evolution and
theology” as its
ultimate reality, while quietly
discarding the traditional
understanding of salvation through
Christ at the cross for a New
Age Syncretism posing as
Catholicism – a
compromise of the True Catholic
Faith and a vital step in the
direction of a One
World Religion.
The irony in this, and the
significance that has been lost
somehow, is that the Catholic
faith itself is
the One World Religion: the true
religion of universal (catholic)
salvation at the cross of Christ:
the truth.
How
is it that in the span of a few
generations we have gone from the
Great Commission, “Go
therefore and make disciples
of all nations…” to
the Great Apostacy; an apostasy in
which the Pope leads not the Holy
Catholic and Apostolic Church in
the crusade to bring Christ to the
world, but looks to lead a “United
Nations
of Religions”: an
unholy alliance of the world’s
major religions, centered in the occult,
nature
worshipping paganism
that the ancient and Holy Catholic
Faith once supplanted. And
it is joined to an effort to
eliminate the “true believers” of
all faiths:
Patterned after the UN, the UR is
meant to be for religions what the
UN is for nations: “a permanent
gathering center where the world’s
religions engage in daily prayer,
dialogue, and action for the good
of all life on earth,” and where
they will make peace amongst
themselves and “work together for
the healing of the earth.” Using
the “light” of paganism and
occultism, it aims to solve the
usual social issues.
But more importantly, it’s also
“an attempt to bring
accountability to the religious
forum”. As the world’s religious
authority, it aims to wipe out
“fundamentalism,” which is blamed
for wars and conflicts.
Teilhardian Robert Muller, a
former UN Assistant
Secretary-General and New World
Order designer, declared that
fundamentalism’s “inflexible
belief systems” “play an
incendiary role in global
conflicts.” “Peace will be
impossible,” he said, “without the
taming of fundamentalism through a
United Religions that professes
faithfulness ‘only to the global
spirituality and to the health of
this planet.’”
Pope
Francis compromises the
Catholic faith and
the leadership of the Church compromises
Catholic teaching with the
world and the worldly.
There is no compromise at
the cross, but where is it?
Though the subject of an
occasional seasonal quote,
it is no longer in evidence as the
centerpiece of our faith, and no
longer proclaimed as the unique
tool of God’s salvation.
Today, the Catholic
Church is more concerned with the
sensitivities of those who are
offended by the cross than in
proclaiming it as the ultimate
truth that it is; as the answer to
Pilate’s eternal question.
One can only wonder how
long it will be before the
crucifixes in our churches are
once more taken down and hidden
away as they were by the liberal
and homosexual bishops
in the 80’s and 90’s.
I don’t have to document
this one.
I saw it for myself.
And it poses what was then,
what is now, and what will always
remain, a vital question that we
should always ask: Who finds the
crucifix so distasteful that they
cannot stand before it? Witches?
Vampires? Werewolves? Satanists?
Freemasons? It is a short and
distinct list.
This
brings
us to the last and certainly not
least point that must be made, and
that concerns the role of the
diabolic in all of this.
Perhaps we should listen
and consider when the foremost
Catholic experts on exorcism and
the workings of the devil have
told us that the Church has indeed
been infiltrated and that Lucifer
himself sits enthroned within the
Vatican.
As Father
Gabriel
Amorth informed us:
Sex abuse scandals in the Roman
Catholic Church are proof that
that “the Devil is at work inside
the Vatican”, according to the
Holy See’s chief exorcist.
He added: “When one speaks of
‘the smoke of Satan’ [a phrase
coined by Pope Paul VI in 1972] in
the holy rooms, it is all true –
including these latest stories of
violence and paedophilia.”
And,
as
we were informed by Father
Malachi
Martin, this took
place when:
There was this consecration, this
enthronement of Satan within the
Vatican, of Lucifer by the way.
It's a historical fact. It was
done one particular day by a
certain group of people
representing Luciferians all over
the world, especially American
Luciferians. It was done.
Therefore, in a certain sense,
Lucifer has power. He doesn't own
yet, but I'm sure he hopes to own
some Pope as his man.
Who
are
these “Luciferians?”
They are Freemasons, the
age-old enemies of the Church, and
they who, to this very day, at
least ostensibly, remain
banned from participation in
the rites of the Catholic
Church.
“Freemasonry
is
the Church of Lucifer
masquerading as a mythical
philanthropic order.
It fronts for Illuminati
central bankers who started the US
as a vehicle to advance their New
World Order.” As Pope
Leo XIII told us in Humanum
Genus, the
principle aim of Masonry is “…to
destroy to its very foundations
any civil or religious order
established throughout
Christendom, and bring about in
its place a new order founded on
laws drawn out of the entrails of
naturalism.”
How to bring about this new
order in the Catholic Church
through its infiltration was
outlined in a 19th
century document titled, The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita.
The extent to how
successful this infiltration had
been in the 20th
century was documented in the
famous Pecorelli list, which
detailed the presence of
Freemasons in the upper echelons
of the Vatican
II Church.
Mino Pecorelli, an
Italian journalist, was murdered
shortly after the list was
released.
The claim that “Satan
Must Reign in the Vatican. The
Pope Will Be His Slave”
was witnessed by St. Maximillian
Kolbe as he watched Freemasons
celebrate their bicentennial in
St. Peter’s Square in 1917.
The Permanent
Instruction of the Alta Vendita
says:
We do not intend to win the Popes
to our cause, to make them
neophytes of our principles,
propagators of our ideas. That
would be a ridiculous dream; and
if events turn out in some way, if
Cardinals or prelates, for
example, of their own free will or
by surprise, should enter into a
part of our secrets, this is not
at all an incentive for desiring
their elevation to the See of
Peter. That elevation would ruin
us. Ambition alone would have led
them to apostasy, the requirements
of power would force them to
sacrifice us. What we must ask
for, what we should look for and
wait for, as the Jews wait for the
Messiah, is a Pope according to
our needs.
Is
Pope
Francis this long awaited “Pope
according to our needs?”
I don’t have the
definitive answer to that
question, but what I am posing
here is that if any pope is going
to participate in the agenda of
the New World Order, and cooperate
with and promote its goals at the
level that Pope Francis is doing,
then the question certainly needs
to be asked.
While on the one hand, as
Pope Francis makes the claim that
“Masonic
Lobbies
… This Is The Most Serious
Problem for Me”, on
the other the question is raised “Why
does Freemasonry Openly Support
Pope Francis?” Why indeed.
The mistake I once made
concerning Pope Francis was to
believe that it was important to
follow what he actually said
rather than the myriad of
conflicting things said about him.
I have since come to
understand that rather than
following the trail of his
contradictory rhetoric, one is
better informed by following the
trail of his deeds.
What he says and does are
often two very different things.
This goes back at least as
far as his tenure
as Superior of the Society of
Jesus in Argentina, and as
Archbishop of Buenos Aires
during the “Dirty
Wars.”
As
for Jack Quirk and Christian
Democracy, I recognize his
right as an editor and publisher
to publish only that content which
he wants and for whatever reason
he chooses.
That’s up to him.
However, the pieces I
wrote for Christian
Democracy, including the
unpublished “Seedpods of a
Catholic Spring or: How I Learned
to Stop Worrying and Love the
Satan2” were opinion pieces –
prophetic pieces – and not
academic articles or position
papers.
He understands this.
This is what he asked me to
do.
I gave up writing
academic papers many, many years
ago after an encounter with Christ
on a darkened football field made
me the “fundamentalist” I am
today.
He knows this.
He was there.
The title itself suggests
a certain tongue-in-cheek attitude
on my part, and if I am accused of
writing to entertain as well as
inform the rather limited audience
that actually “gets” me, then I
plead guilty as charged.
But I did not lie and I
did not bear false witness.
That
being
said, I did document where I got
the information he objected to,
and I have fleshed that
documentation out and added much
more to it here.
The real issue, I
suspect, was presenting a
political point of view that was
at odds with the generally liberal
tone of Christian
Democracy, and I believe the
goal all along was to position me
so I would retract the article,
which I did.
And while I believe that
this dances on and crosses the
line between editorial privilege
and censorship, I’m okay with it.
In the end, I have the
right to write or not write for Christian
Democracy, and so I exercise
it.
You can’t fire me, I
quit. No hard feelings.
What
I do take issue with was the
insinuation that I had fabricated
the information and/or had broken
the 8th Commandment
(You shall not bear false witness
against your neighbor).
First of all, I did not
mention or accuse any individual
bishop of the United States, but
spoke of the USCCB as a whole.
Corruption of Catholic
teaching within this organization
of bishops is nothing new and, as
stated elsewhere, I have
documented this in other works of
mine, just as Elizabeth Yore did
in her articles. So
have many others.
The speculative nature in
all of this is the fact that
during the election cycle of 2016,
the USCCB was largely silent on
the anti-life issues the Catholic
Church opposes (abortion,
euthanasia, contraception, etc.),
and which the Democratic Party
shamelessly supports.
Why might this be?
The money trail ends up here:
…in Fiscal Year 2016, the United
States Conference of Catholic
Bishops (USCCB) received more than
$91 million in government funding
for refugee resettlement. Over the
past nine years, the USCCB has
received a total of $534,788,660
in taxpayer dollars for refugee
resettlement programs, reported
Ann Corcoran, editor of Refugee
Resettlement Watch.
In
times
of financial struggle for the
Church, brought on by a very
expensive clergy sexual abuse
scandal, mismanagement of funds in
some dioceses, and dwindling
membership nearly across the
board, it seems likely, if not
obvious, that the USCCB would be
anxious to protect its Democratic
Party cash-cow, especially in the
face of a Republican candidate
whose major platform plank
concerned reform of a wide-open
immigration process.
In my humble opinion, the
USCCB, and the Vatican, are guilty
of exploiting the refugee crisis
as a source of income, and seem
willing to do so even to the point
of jeopardizing the safety of
innocent citizens in the United
States and elsewhere.
As a taxpayer, it is my
right and duty as a citizen to
question this process and not a
violation of the 8th
Commandment to present it to the
bishops and even expect an answer.
It would seem the burden of
proof is on them and yet what we
hear is, as Elizabeth Yore
described it, “Crickets.”
To
Jack
Quirk I say merely, “Let me quote
you a little Scripture…” (he knows
what I mean).
As for me, it’s like Rick
Nelson said, “…it's
all right now, I learned my lesson
well.
You see, ya can't please
everyone, so ya got to please
yourself.”
Conclusion
The
world
and the Church are rushing
headlong into a near future that
is best described as a
Marxist-socialist global
nightmare, ruled by Freemasons who
control the wealth, and
Luciferians who are corrupting the
world religions into the service
of the devil.
This is now most commonly
known and referred to as the “New World Order,” and if
anyone truly doubts that this is
no more than a tinfoil hat
conspiracy theory, he should read
up on United
Nations
Agenda 21.
Like the Master himself
told us in Luke
8:17, “There is
nothing hidden that will not be
revealed.” And
due to the vast access to
information of all kinds that
defines our day, the time of this
revealing is now.
We are living in the time
of the Revelation of St. John.
As
this
revelation takes place, the
pressure to bring this globalist
agenda to a fast fruition mounts,
just as the pressure to stop it
does.
Perhaps nothing
demonstrates this so well as the
last presidential election cycle
we just witnessed in the United
States, and the tensions produced
by the election of Donald Trump on
a platform of renewed nationalism,
characterized by a backing away
from the globalist New World Order
agenda.
And, as I write this, the
signs are already apparent that,
regardless of what Donald Trump
does or doesn’t do, the
overall shift of America is
still to the left.
It is inevitable.
The New World Order
Kool-Aid has been swallowed, and,
as a crowd in Jerusalem once
clamored for Barabbas, so the
crowds in Washington DC, across
the country, and in the mainstream
media clamor for globalism.
The election of Donald
Trump has, perhaps, bought us a
little more time, and, perhaps
more importantly, has served to
illustrate and illuminate how much
that was considered “conspiracy
theory” a short time ago has now
become more obvious and more
regarded as factual.
And
so we are proceeding ever more
rapidly to the climax of history;
that time in which the “forces
that believe in God and those that
don’t” come into final conflict
for control of the planet.
And when the Church of
Jesus Christ aligns herself with
the globalists and promotes a
population control agenda that
ultimately calls for a
population reduction on planet
earth of 6 billion people or
more, then we need to be aware of
it and understand that this can
mean only one thing: genocide.
And we should also be aware that
this is taking place as the
chickens borne of decades of
meddling in the sins of
population control come home to
roost, as demonstrated in this
article by Dr. Brian Clowes
for Human Life International:
There
is growing
awareness
that the world “population
explosion” is over or, indeed,
that it never actually
materialized. When the
population scare began in the
late 1960s, the world population
was increasing at a rate of more
than two percent per year. It is
now increasing at less than one
percent per year, and this rate
is expected to continue to drop
due to continuing population
control activities.
From
the very beginning, the concept
of a “population explosion” was
an ideologically motivated false
alarm specifically designed to
allow rich nations to pillage
the resources of the poorer
nations. The resulting push for
population control in LDCs [less
developed countries] has borne
absolutely no positive fruit in
its decades of implementation.
In fact, population control
ideologies and programs make it
even more difficult to respond
to the impending grave crisis
looming in the form of a
disastrous worldwide “population
implosion.” It is time to begin
urging families to have more
children, not less, if we are to
avoid a worldwide demographic
catastrophe.
It
is the forces that don’t believe
in God – the
Luciferians – that are
ultimately behind this impending
"worldwide demographic
catastrophe," brought on by the
population control agenda; an
agenda based upon unbridled greed
and in which the corrupted and
infiltrated hierarchy of the
Catholic Church
participates. It is this
Masonic corruption that needed to
be rooted out of the Roman Curia
by Pope Francis (and not the likes
of Cardinal Burke), but instead it
remains to lay the groundwork for
the ultimate apostasy: the Vicar
of Christ in charge of a global,
anti-Christian religious
organization in support of the New
World Order.
Here
in the USA, even as the beacon of
liberty flickers and wanes in the
twilight of our history, the
ability to freely express the
Christian truth, even in the midst
of controversy, still demonstrates
that the intriguing and lasting
beauty of the American experiment
is best found in the strength and
foresight of the United States
Constitution. This is
especially so concerning the first
amendment to the Bill of Rights,
which protects our right to
religious freedom and the
expression of it.
I have exercised that
right freely here, and I intend to
continue to do so as long as I am
able and permitted to do so.
It seems nearly impossible to me
to be living in a day in which
such basic constitutional rights
are in jeopardy, and those who are
the loudest in exercising their
right to freedom of expression are
also those most interested in
taking these rights away from
those with whom they disagree.
The underlying truth that
has always been the foundation and
strength of America is the
inherent trust her citizens have
classically had for each other: “I
disapprove of what you say, but I
will defend to the death your
right to say it.”
Usually attributed to
Voltaire, but actually penned by Beatrice
Hall, it is this
attitude that lead E.B. White to
his revelation that America works
because more than half of the
people tend to be right more than
half of the time.
As
a people, we have had the uncanny
ability over two and half
centuries to sort the verbal and
written wheat from the chaff and
form a majority opinion that is
right more than it is not, and
when mistakes have been made we
have been able to return to the
polls and correct them. E
pluribus unum is not a
perfect system, but until we enter
the one we shall find in that
kingdom that is not of this world,
it’s as good as it gets.
The election of Donald Trump
shows that, in spite of George
Soros and his political
lickspittles and puppets,
there is still enough integrity
left in the system to allow the
will of the majority to prevail,
but how long this will
last is another matter.
Those waving signs, shaking fists,
and drawing blood in favor of
Hillary Clinton, and the agenda of
the New World Order, indicate that
time for America is running out.
In
the end, everything but the
ultimate truth of the cross of
Christ and its unique power to
save us is merely speculation of
one sort of another.
Reality radiates out from
that most sacred point where
Christ hangs for each of us: it is
that point between heaven and
hell; that point where divinity
encounters humanity and offers the
great gift of redemption.
Prophecy is the response
to how the whole of humanity
reacts to this gift and, thanks to
the devil’s influence, and mans’
own hubris, the answer is
“poorly.”
And, while prophecy must
always leave open the door to
repentance, most in our world
today have ceased to believe in
God in any meaningful way, and,
because of this, the extermination
of those who still do rises on the
horizon of the impending
apocalypse.
It
has long been foretold, and that
this can even be contemplated is
evidence enough that the end is
near.
And,
as I see it, that is truth.
