Saint Quote of the Day, St Thomas Aquinas

'If in this world there be any knowledge of this sacrament stronger than that of faith, I wish now to use it in affirming that I firmly believe and know as certain that Jesus Christ, True God and True Man, Son of God and Son of the Virgin Mary, is in this Sacrament . . . I receive Thee, the price of my redemption, for Whose love I have watched, studied, and laboured. Thee have I preached; Thee have I taught. Never have I said anything against Thee: if anything was not well said, that is to be attributed to my ignorance. Neither do I wish to be obstinate in my opinions, but if I have written anything erroneous concerning this sacrament or other matters, I submit all to the judgment and correction of the Holy Roman Church, in whose obedience I now pass from this life.'

St. Thomas Aquinas, on his deathbed

This Religious Liberty crap needs to stop

http://www.aim.org/aim-column/anti-obama-protesters-arrested-for-praying/

When will people get it through their thick skulls it is not about religious liberty nor was the Cristero War in Mexico. It is about anti-christ persecution pure and simple. It is about satanic human sacrifices, persecution of the Church, Christians, and mocking Sacraments of GOD. People need to quit the bs. "Liberty" is a French Revolt word meant to separate people from GOD. "Religious Liberty" really means to make the Church and Christianity on par with paganism and the abrogated judaism, which it is NOT. The only true Faith is Christian all others are false and in grave error. This 'religious liberty' crap has to stop.

Night at the Big D

Work was very slow last night.  It was so nice out that no one was ordering in.  I thought on a delivery my job is to make Mothers and Dads happy.  I do that by getting the pizza pie to families to make the children happy which makes the moms and dads happy.  Coincidentally on that delivery I only got 2 for tip, and it was 12 miles round trip.  Ugh.  Another one I thought an assistant manager elsewhere was going to jump over the counter and hug me she was so happy to see pizza, got me a smile on the face there then unfortunately no tip, sigh.  But it was nice to see such appreciation.  At least I'm safe and have a job. 
Thank you Jesus Christ, Blessed Mother, St Michael the Archangel, my own Guardian Angel, Saint Paul, Saint Augustine, Saint William, Saint Gabriel, and Saint Pius X.

Our Lady keep you.

And she said, 'I refuse to live in a bubble.'

Posted by Ann Barnhardt - September 20, AD 2012 10:45 PM MST

Last week a cattle industry colleague of mine called to relate his afternoon's activity. He was driving with his four children, aged 9 to 1, when the following conversation took place in the car: 4 year old girl: Can two girls get married?
6 year old boy: NO, SILLY! Two girls can't get married. It has to be one boy and one girl.
9 year old girl: Nuh-uh. I saw on TV where two girls got married.
This is what it finally took for this man, this husband, this father, this guardian and protector, to FINALLY understand the full horror of what is being done to his children. This is what it took - having the sword of his 9 year old's parroting of Marxist-Sodomite propaganda pierce his soul. He could pretend that he had it under control so long as it was only the people on TV saying it. He could lie to himself and tell himself that "it is all going over their heads" and "we're a good Christian family, and we are raising our children in a Godly home in rural America," ... until he heard the Sodomite filth come spewing out of the mouth of his firstborn child, contaminating two of his other children in the process.
This horror was what was required for the Holy Spirit to finally get through. And this is a big lesson: if you need to get your heart torn out of your chest and stomped all over in order for you to comprehend some essential truth, God will permit that to happen. Don't you doubt that for one second.
As soon as they arrived home, my friend dug out the last satellite bill, called the customer service number, and in no uncertain terms told them to TURN. THE. SHIT. OFF. NOW.
It's over. No more. No more satanic Sodomite agitprop and pornography will be coming into his house. It's over. No more Marxist pagan filth. It's over. No more mind-numbing soul-killing innocence-destroying lies in his home. No more open attacks on his children while he sits by and watches. It's over.
TURN. THE. SHIT. OFF. NOW.
"But sir, what if we offered you two months free? Are you switching to cable? We can beat any cable package. What if we upgraded you to our premium high-definition package at no additional charge?"
TURN. THE. SHIT. OFF. NOW.
Praise God. Praise God. Praise God.
Significant damage has already been done, but that damage can be fixed, and this family is now on the road to healing. The lives of four children and two parents have just changed, and changed for the better in ways that they cannot yet imagine. Games of kickball and baseball will now be played that never would have occurred, forts will be built, books will be read, skills will be learned, adventures will be had and CONVERSATIONS WILL NOW TAKE PLACE that would have all been snuffed from existence by the godforsaken Marxist-Sodomite agitprop and pornography vector that is called "TV". Satan's main entrypoint into this home and family has now been firmly shut, and it was shut by the ACTION of the father in MASCULINE IRE IN DEFENSE OF HIS FAMILY.
Now to the flip side of this anecdote, which happened just this morning.
I attended a conference about Catholic ethics, and toward the end discussion opened up a bit. An upper-middleclass suburban woman raised her hand and complained that her 13 year old daughter persistently wanted to dress like Kim Kardashian, I believe the word "whore" was used, as the daughter has been regularly watching the Kardashian filth on TV and wants to be just like Kim Kardashian, who is, for those of you who do not know, a sociopathic moral degenerate de facto prostitute who is also teetering on the precipice of being mentally retarded.
I tend to keep fairly quiet in venues such as this. If I am not "the speaker" then it is my job to listen, but with the anecdote above fresh in my mind, and since discussion had opened up, I did lean forward and asked this woman why she allowed cable TV into her home in the first place, and why she allowed her daughter to watch evil filth. Some response was made to the effect, "Well, I can't control . . . " at which point I cut her off and told her that she could call and cancel the cable feed this afternoon, at which she bristled and snarled back at me, "I'm not going to have this discussion. I'M NOT GOING TO LIVE IN A BUBBLE."
Understand, this woman had no clue who I was, so the bristling and snarling was not because she was intimidated by me - it was an organic response to the thought of taking away her precious Marxist-Sodomite agitporn (new word!) delivery vector. She then got up and left.
Had I gone blowtorch on this woman, here is what I would have said:

Madam, you just raised your hand and volunteered that your 13 year old daughter is emulating as a role model and dressing like a whore in an effort to elicit sympathy from this group. When I asked you why you simply don't do the absolute minimum of what any parent should do, namely removing the evil of TV from your home and thus protecting your daughter, you snapped back that you refuse to "live in a bubble." Madam, from what little you have told us, it sounds like your daughter, being 13 years old, upper-middle class, living in the United States in 2012, and already EMULATING WHOREDOM, is well on her way to being lost to hell for all eternity. Her soul and psyche are being formed in profound ways, especially now as she is in the throes of puberty, setting up who she will be and the choices she will make for the rest of her life. And you, her mother, refuse to do what is clearly the BARE MINIMUM to stop your own daughter's descent into the grips of hell, namely eliminating cable TV from your home, because you don't want to "live in a bubble?" You would watch your own child be lost to hell before you would go without TELEVISION? Do you realize that in this you are also putting YOUR OWN SOUL at profound risk for eternal damnation?
I don't know your daughter, and probably never will. I don't know you, and to be frank, I don't like you and we will almost certainly never be friends on this earth. BUT, for some reason which I cannot explain, I CARE whether or not you and your daughter go to heaven or go to hell. I am not indifferent to your fate, and am intensely desirous of both of you making it to heaven. In fact, it appears that I care more about the eternal fate of your daughter's soul than you do. This is charity: not being indifferent to our fellow human beings. I do not like you, nor am I obliged to, but I am not indifferent to you, which IS my obligation.
Madam, you are the walking personification of the Marxist goal. You are a totally sensuous, self-absorbed person who can only see the world through the prism of your own faux-victimhood, so much so that your self-centered sensuousness even takes precedence over the eternal fates of the souls of your own young children. The last wedge, the wedge between mother and child, has been driven home, and you are the proof of that.
Madam, that "bubble" that you refuse to live in, that "bubble" that simply asks of us that we reject evil, is what the rest of us call "The Sacred Heart of Jesus", pierced and burning with love for you, your daughter and everyone else. But, if you don't want to live in that "Bubble", then I can promise you Sister, YOU WON'T. EVER. If you find the "Bubble" too boring, too isolating, too embarrassing and too socially awkward; if you hold that "Bubble", all who dwell in It, all those who seek to dwell in It, and those who are truly desirous of you and your daughter dwelling in It in scathing contempt, then Madam, I can promise you that you will never, ever have to experience It.

Cast out to worldly wolves

Over the weekend I felt like I was home, now I feel like I was cast out to the wolves.  This past weekend I visited my parents.  Well I actually spent more time with friends and acquaintances in KY.  I went to the Assumption Festival at Our Lady of the Assumption parish in Walton, KY.  I always feel so much at home there.  That and I am able to go to solemn High Mass when I go there.  Unfortunately in Evansville our priest that graciously drives out here can only have a Low Mass for us.  Now that I'm back here in Evansville it just seems like I'm back in the grind hoping to accomplish my research to graduate.  At least I can go to our chapel for the Rosary anytime I want to.

SYLLABUS CONDEMNING THE ERRORS OF THE MODERNISTS

LAMENTABILI SANE
Pius X July 3, 1907
With truly lamentable results, our age, casting aside all restraint in its search for the ultimate causes of things, frequently pursues novelties so ardently that it rejects the legacy of the human race. Thus it falls into very serious errors, which are even more serious when they concern sacred authority, the interpretation of Sacred Scripture, and the principal mysteries of Faith. The fact that many Catholic writers also go beyond the limits determined by the Fathers and the Church herself is extremely regrettable. In the name of higher knowledge and historical research (they say), they are looking for that progress of dogmas which is, in reality, nothing but the corruption of dogmas.
These errors are being daily spread among the faithful. Lest they captivate the faithful's minds and corrupt the purity of their faith, His Holiness, Pius X, by Divine Providence, Pope, has decided that the chief errors should be noted and condemned by the Office of this Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition.
Therefore, after a very diligent investigation and consultation with the Reverend Consultors, the Most Eminent and Reverend Lord Cardinals, the General Inquisitors in matters of faith and morals have judged the following propositions to be condemned and proscribed. In fact, by this general decree, they are condemned and proscribed.
1. The ecclesiastical law which prescribes that books concerning the Divine Scriptures are subject to previous examination does not apply to critical scholars and students of scientific exegesis of the Old and New Testament.
2. The Church's interpretation of the Sacred Books is by no means to be rejected; nevertheless, it is subject to the more accurate judgment and correction of the exegetes.
3. From the ecclesiastical judgments and censures passed against free and more scientific exegesis, one can conclude that the Faith the Church proposes contradicts history and that Catholic teaching cannot really be reconciled with the true origins of the Christian religion.
4. Even by dogmatic definitions the Church's magisterium cannot determine the genuine sense of the Sacred Scriptures.
5. Since the deposit of Faith contains only revealed truths, the Church has no right to pass judgment on the assertions of the human sciences.
6. The "Church learning" and the "Church teaching" collaborate in such a way in defining truths that it only remains for the "Church teaching" to sanction the opinions of the "Church learning."
7. In proscribing errors, the Church cannot demand any internal assent from the faithful by which the judgments she issues are to be embraced.
8. They are free from all blame who treat lightly the condemnations passed by the Sacred Congregation of the Index or by the Roman Congregations.
9. They display excessive simplicity or ignorance who believe that God is really the author of the Sacred Scriptures. 10. The inspiration of the books of the Old Testament consists in this: The Israelite writers handed down religious doctrines under a peculiar aspect which was either little or not at all known to the Gentiles.
11. Divine inspiration does not extend to all of Sacred Scriptures so that it renders its parts, each and every one, free from every error.
12. If he wishes to apply himself usefully to Biblical studies, the exegete must first put aside all preconceived opinions about the supernatural origin of Sacred Scripture and interpret it the same as any other merely human document.
13. The Evangelists themselves, as well as the Christians of the second and third generation, artificially arranged the evangelical parables. In such a way they explained the scanty fruit of the preaching of Christ among the Jews.
14. In many narrations the Evangelists recorded, not so much things that are true, as things which, even though false, they judged to be more profitable for their readers.
15. Until the time the canon was defined and constituted, the Gospels were increased by additions and corrections. Therefore there remained in them only a faint and uncertain trace of the doctrine of Christ.
16. The narrations of John are not properly history, but a mystical contemplation of the Gospel. The discourses contained in his Gospel are theological meditations, lacking historical truth concerning the mystery of salvation.
17. The fourth Gospel exaggerated miracles not only in order that the extraordinary might stand out but also in order that it might become more suitable for showing forth the work and glory of the Word lncarnate.
18. John claims for himself the quality of witness concerning Christ. In reality, however, he is only a distinguished witness of the Christian life, or of the life of Christ in the Church at the close of the first century.
19. Heterodox exegetes have expressed the true sense of the Scriptures more faithfully than Catholic exegetes.
20. Revelation could be nothing else than the consciousness man acquired of his revelation to God.
21. Revelation, constituting the object of the Catholic faith, was not completed with the Apostles.
22. The dogmas the Church holds out as revealed are not truths which have fallen from heaven. They are an interpretation of religious facts which the human mind has acquired by laborious effort.
23. Opposition may, and actually does, exist between the facts narrated in Sacred Scripture and the Church's dogmas which rest on them. Thus the critic may reject as false facts the Church holds as most certain.
24. The exegete who constructs premises from which it follows that dogmas are historically false or doubtful is not to be reproved as long as he does not directly deny the dogmas themselves .
25. The assent of faith ultimately rests on a mass of probabilities .
26. The dogmas of the Faith are to be held only according to their practical sense; that is to say, as preceptive norms of conduct and not as norms of believing.
27. The divinity of Jesus Christ is not proved from the Gospels. It is a dogma which the Christian conscience has derived from the notion of the Messias.
28. While He was exercising His ministry, Jesus did not speak with the object of teaching He was the Messias, nor did His miracles tend to prove it.
29. It is permissible to grant that the Christ of history is far inferior to the Christ Who is the object of faith.
30 In all the evangelical texts the name "Son of God'' is equivalent only to that of "Messias." It does not in the least way signify that Christ is the true and natural Son of God.
31. The doctrine concerning Christ taught by Paul, John, and the Councils of Nicea, Ephesus and Chalcedon is not that which Jesus taught but that which the Christian conscience conceived concerning Jesus.
32. It is impossible to reconcile the natural sense of the Gospel texts with the sense taught by our theologians concerning the conscience and the infallible knowledge of Jesus Christ.
33 Everyone who is not led by preconceived opinions can readily see that either Jesus professed an error concerning the immediate Messianic coming or the greater part of His doctrine as contained in the Gospels is destitute of authenticity.
34. The critics can ascribe to Christ a knowledge without limits only on a hypothesis which cannot be historically conceived and which is repugnant to the moral sense. That hypothesis is that Christ as man possessed the knowledge of God and yet was unwilling to communicate the knowledge of a great many things to His disciples and posterity.
35. Christ did not always possess the consciousness of His Messianic dignity.
36. The Resurrection of the Savior is not properly a fact of the historical order. It is a fact of merely the supernatural order (neither demonstrated nor demonstrable) which the Christian conscience gradually derived from other facts.
37. In the beginning, faith in the Resurrection of Christ was not so much in the fact itself of the Resurrection as in the immortal life of Christ with God.
38. The doctrine of the expiatory death of Christ is Pauline and not evangelical.
39. The opinions concerning the origin of the Sacraments which the Fathers of Trent held and which certainly influenced their dogmatic canons are very different from those which now rightly exist among historians who examine Christianity .
40. The Sacraments have their origin in the fact that the Apostles and their successors, swayed and moved by circumstances and events, interpreted some idea and intention of Christ.
41. The Sacraments are intended merely to recall to man's mind the ever-beneficent presence of the Creator.
42. The Christian community imposed the necessity of Baptism, adopted it as a necessary rite, and added to it the obligation of the Christian profession.
43. The practice of administering Baptism to infants was a disciplinary evolution, which became one of the causes why the Sacrament was divided into two, namely, Baptism and Penance.
44. There is nothing to prove that the rite of the Sacrament of Confirmation was employed by the Apostles. The formal distinction of the two Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation does not pertain to the history of primitive Christianity.
45. Not everything which Paul narrates concerning the institution of the Eucharist (I Cor. 11:23-25) is to be taken historically.
46. In the primitive Church the concept of the Christian sinner reconciled by the authority of the Church did not exist. Only very slowly did the Church accustom herself to this concept. As a matter of fact, even after Penance was recognized as an institution of the Church, it was not called a Sacrament since it would be held as a disgraceful Sacrament.
47. The words of the Lord, "Receive the Holy Spirit; whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained'' (John 20:22-23), in no way refer to the Sacrament of Penance, in spite of what it pleased the Fathers of Trent to say.
48. In his Epistle (Ch. 5:14-15) James did not intend to promulgate a Sacrament of Christ but only commend a pious custom. If in this custom he happens to distinguish a means of grace, it is not in that rigorous manner in which it was taken by the theologians who laid down the notion and number of the Sacraments.
49. When the Christian supper gradually assumed the nature of a liturgical action those who customarily presided over the supper acquired the sacerdotal character.
50. The elders who fulfilled the office of watching over the gatherings of the faithful were instituted by the Apostles as priests or bishops to provide for the necessary ordering of the increasing communities and not properly for the perpetuation of the Apostolic mission and power.
51. It is impossible that Matrimony could have become a Sacrament of the new law until later in the Church since it was necessary that a full theological explication of the doctrine of grace and the Sacraments should first take place before Matrimony should be held as a Sacrament.
52. It was far from the mind of Christ to found a Church as a society which would continue on earth for a long course
of centuries. On the contrary, in the mind of Christ the kingdom of heaven together with the end of the world was about to come immediately.
53. The organic constitution of the Church is not immutable. Like human society, Christian society is subject to a perpetual evolution.
54. Dogmas, Sacraments and hierarchy, both their notion and reality, are only interpretations and evolutions of the Christian intelligence which have increased and perfected by an external series of additions the little germ latent in the Gospel.
55. Simon Peter never even suspected that Christ entrusted the primacy in the Church to him.
56. The Roman Church became the head of all the churches, not through the ordinance of Divine Providence, but merely through political conditions.
57. The Church has shown that she is hostile to the progress of the natural and theological sciences.
58. Truth is no more immutable than man himself, since it evolved with him, in him, and through him.
59. Christ did not teach a determined body of doctrine applicable to all times and all men, but rather inaugurated a religious movement adapted or to be adapted to different times and places.
60. Christian Doctrine was originally Judaic. Through successive evolutions it became first Pauline, then Joannine, finally Hellenic and universal.
61. It may be said without paradox that there is no chapter of Scripture, from the first of Genesis to the last of the Apocalypse, which contains a doctrine absolutely identical with that which the Church teaches on the same matter. For the same reason, therefore, no chapter of Scripture has the same sense for the critic and the theologian.
62. The chief articles of the Apostles' Creed did not have the same sense for the Christians of the first ages as they have for the Christians of our time.
63. The Church shows that she is incapable of effectively maintaining evangelical ethics since she obstinately clings to immutable doctrines which cannot be reconciled with modern progress.
64. Scientific progress demands that the concepts of Christian doctrine concerning God, creation, revelation, the Person of the Incarnate Word, and Redemption be re-adjusted.
65. Modern Catholicism can be reconciled with true science only if it is transformed into a non-dogmatic Christianity; that is to say, into a broad and liberal Protestantism.
The following Thursday, the fourth day of the same month and year, all these matters were accurately reported to our Most Holy Lord, Pope Pius X. His Holiness approved and confirmed the decree of the Most Eminent Fathers and ordered that each and every one of the above-listed propositions be held by all as condemned and proscribed.
PETER PALOMBELLI, Notary of the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition

Civil war and the truth about communists

We sure do need somebody....but I doubt if your Romney or Ryan will save any of us.

 

But for the sake of the nation I hope in a miracle that with eyes wide open you'll have some reason be just as satisfied with Mittens in about a year from now. 

Oh, and the commie "crap" you mention got it's start in America long before Obama was handed the reigns by the old entrenched gang of handlers who imposed upon us Bush, Clinton, Bush, and McCain. 

 

Now you should fear that Romney is just their latest alternate in their "two party" game of "good cop/bad cop" played so effectively against the mostly naïveté population.

 

The ugly truth is that Americans lost their nation when Abe Lincoln's Jewish handlers created the communist Federal Government after killing 600,000 soldiers while killing and raping untold numbers of civilians in the South.

 

Today, America is run by two aligned communist parties, both pretending to represent the people via "election" when it's only been one iron fist-velvet glove political system that has existed in America since 1865.

 

 

 

Here's a bit of history that the commies didn't get around to teaching us in their John Dewey public schools.:

http://www.newswithviews.com/Stang/alan30.htm

From the beginning, the Republican Party has worked without deviation for bigger, more imperial government, for higher taxes, for more wars, for more totalitarianism. From the beginning, the Republican Party has been Red.

Why? In 1848, Communists rose in revolution across Europe, united by a document prepared for the purpose, entitled Manifesto of the Communist Party. Its author was a degenerate parasite named Karl Marx, whom a small gang of wealthy Communists – the League of Just Men – hired for the purpose. The Manifesto told its adherents and its victims what the Communists would do.

But the Revolution of 1848 failed. The perpetrators escaped, just ahead of the police. And they went, of course, to the united States. In 1856, the Republican Party ran its first candidate for President. By that time, these Communists from Europe had thoroughly infiltrated this country, especially the North. Many became high ranking officers in the Union Army and top government officials.

Down through the decades, Americans have wondered about Yankee brutality in that war. Lee invaded the North, but that sublime Christian hero forbade any forays against civilians. Military genius Stonewall Jackson stood like a stone wall and routed the Yankees at Manassas, but when Barbara Frietchie insisted on flying the Yankee flag in Frederick, Maryland, rather than the Stars and Bars , that sublime Christian hero commanded, according to John Greenleaf Whittier, “‘Who touches a hair of yon gray head/Dies like a dog! March on!’ he said.”

But the Yankees, invading the South, were monsters, killing, raping and destroying civilian property. In one Georgia town, some 400 women were penned in the town square in the July heat for almost a week without access to female facilities. It got worse when the Yankee slime got into the liquor. Some two thousand Southern women and children were shipped north to labor as slaves. Didn’t you learn that in school?

Sherman’s scorched earth March to the Sea was a horror the later Nazis could not equal. Why? Because the Yankees hated Negro slavery so much? There can be no doubt that the already strong Communist influence in the North, combined with that of the maniacal abolitionists, was at least one of the main reasons. Slavery was a tardy excuse, an afterthought they introduced to gain propaganda traction.

In retrospect, it appears that because nothing like this had ever happened here, Lee and Jackson did not fully comprehend what they were fighting. Had this really been a “Civil” War, rather than a secession, they would and could easily have seized Washington after Manassas and hanged our first Communist President and the other war criminals. Instead they went home, in the mistaken belief that the defeated Yankees would leave them alone. Lee did come to understand – too late. He said after the war that had he known at the beginning what he had since found out, he would have fought to the last man.

This is just another example of the forced anti-christ attitude upon the whole stinking world. A police officer that is a protestant refused to go to a "cultural diversity" poop-fest and was docked pay. When will he have another Crusade against mohomedans? Christ help us, Christ have mercy on us.

Religious Imperial Wars For a Luciferian Cabal

The invalid bogus ordo fake catholic mess

FOUR PRACTICAL RULES TO JUDGE THE VALIDITY OF THE NEW ORDER SERVICES RULE 1. THE NOVUS ORDO SERVICE (SOMETIMES CALLED THE NEW "MASS") IS ALWAYS INVALID. This service was fabricated in 1969 by a Freemason presbyter (Hannibal Bugnini), who wrote an essentially new service based upon Protestant theology and rites. In essence, this is a Protestant service, not a Catholic and Apostolic Mass. Another rite is sometimes used, the so-called "Mass of 1962," which is already half Novus Ordo, as it is the Protestantized transitional service that led up to the full-blown invalid Novus Ordo service of 1969. This is the "Latin Mass" (sometimes wrongly called the "Extraordinary Mass," which is most definitely not the Traditional Latin Mass) that is typically used now in the New Order sect. RULE 2. "ORDINATIONS" PERFORMED UNDER THE NOVUS ORDO ORDINAL OF 1969 ARE ALWAYS INVALID. This Ordinal was fabricated in 1969 by a Freemason presbyter (Hannibal Bugnini), who wrote an essentially new ordinal based upon Protestant theology. Instead of ordaining priests "to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass," as the traditional Catholic ordinal does (whether the ordination took place before or after Vatican II), the New Ordinal merely "installs" presbyters (ministers) "to preside over the assembly of the people" using the invalid Novus Ordo service. In essence, these presbyters are Protestant ministers; they are not priests. RULE 3. A NOVUS ORDO PRESBYTER (MINISTER) CANNOT JUST DECIDE ONE DAY TO CELEBRATE A VALID "LATIN MASS," ANY MORE THAN A PROTESTANT MINISTER CAN DECIDE ONE DAY TO CELEBRATE A VALID "LATIN MASS." He must first abjure the Modernist heresy (defined by Pope Pius as "the synthesis of all heresies"), in which he has been operating, leave the New Order sect entirely. If he now thinks that he has a true Catholic vocation, he must approach a traditional Catholic bishop for traditional training of several years and, if only he is deemed qualified, ordination. (This process parallels what a Protestant must do before being received into the Catholic Church from heresy.) RULE 4. THE NEW ORDER SECT IS PROTESTANT, NOT CATHOLIC, AND TRUE CATHOLICS ARE BOUND TO STAY AWAY FROM IT ENTIRELY. The New Order differs in liturgy, doctrine, and morals from the Catholic and Apostolic Faith of two millennia. New Order institutions and clergy call themselves "Catholic," but that is false. No Catholic can have any part in religious matters with the New Order sect or its clergy, whatever they call themselves, just as one cannot have any part in religious matters with Protestant sects or their ministers. Moreover, the experience of the last fifty years demonstrates clearly that anyone who tries to compromise in any way with the New Order sect ends up being swallowed up in its Modernist heresy.

U.S. INVASION OF SYRIA IMMINENT

U.S. INVASION OF SYRIA IMMINENT

CMRI’s Theological Position

CMRI’s Theological Position The Roman Catholic priests of the Religious Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen profess and adhere to the Catholic Faith as it has been consistently Pope Pius XIItaught throughout the centuries since the time of Christ. With the death of Pope Pius XII and with the convocation of the Second Vatican Council, an unprecedented situation has befallen the Church, which threatens her very doctrines and worship. In order to provide for the preservation of the Catholic Faith and the traditional Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and Sacraments, the following statement has been drawn up for the purpose of clearly defining the actual position that these priests have taken. I. VATICAN COUNCIL II: Convoked by John XXIII for the purpose of “updating” the Church, this council (held from 1962-65) decreed and implemented teachings which had been previously condemned by the Infallible Teaching Magisterium of the Church. The Second Vatican Council’s heretical teachings were primarily in the areas of religious liberty and false ecumenism. These were previously condemned by: Pope Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832) Pope Pius IX in Quanta Cura and Syllabus of Errors (1864) Pope Leo XIII in Immortale Dei (1865) and Libertas Humana (1888) Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas (1925) and Mortalium Animos (1928) Pope Pius XII in Mystici Corporis (1943) THEREFORE, the Second Vatican Council is to be rejected as a false council because it has erred in its teachings on faith and morals. II. NOVUS ORDO MISSAE: Following the Second Vatican Council, various commissions were established to modernize the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the traditional rites of the Sacraments. The particular commission established to modernize the Mass included well-known Protestant theologians. To use the words of a well-known Cardinal, Alfredo Ottaviani, in 1969: “(The Novus Ordo Missae) represents a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent.” The results of this modernization were a new definition of the Mass (reflecting Luther’s concept of the Last Supper), the alteration of the Offertory prayers to delete the concept of propitiatory Sacrifice, and the substantial alteration of the very words of Consecration (this alteration occurs in the vernacular translations). This new mass, known as the Novus Ordo Missae, contradicts previous infallible teachings and decrees of the Catholic Church, such as: Pope St. Pius V’s Quo Primum and De Defectibus, the Council of Trent’s decree on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (Session XXII), Pope Leo XIII’s Apostolicae Curae (1896), Pope Pius XII’s Mediator Dei (1947), Pope Pius XII’s Sacramentum Ordinis (1948). THEREFORE, the Novus Ordo Missae, when offered with the altered words of Consecration, is an invalid Mass and in all other cases it is of doubtful validity. It always is a clear danger to one’s faith. For all these reasons, active participation in it would be a grave sin. III. NEW RITES OF THE SACRAMENTS: That which has been said of the Novus Ordo Missae can, in the same respect, be said of the new Vatican II rites for the seven sacraments. To the degree that the matter, form and intention of each of the sacraments has been substantially altered, to that degree their validity must be questioned. The Catholic Church has, most certainly, always taught what the proper matter, form and intention are in the confecting of the sacraments. THEREFORE, where the new rites have been employed, traditional priests should administer the Sacraments sub conditione as the situation may demand. IV. MODERN VATICAN II CHURCH: The Catholic Church is identified as the true Church of Christ by her four marks (Unity, Holiness, Catholicity, and Apostolicity). Since the heretical teachings of Vatican II, the Novus Ordo Missae, and the new rites of the sacraments have manifestly been a departure from the Catholic Church’s traditional teachings, it must be concluded that this modern so-called “Catholic” Church no longer possesses the first two marks of the true Church — namely, Unity and Holiness. Its obvious departure over the past twenty-five years from what the Catholic Church has always held can lead to only one conclusion: a new ecumenical Church has been established which stands in contradiction to the true Catholic Church. V. MODERN HIERARCHY OF THE VATICAN II CHURCH: In the light of the above, it must be concluded that the modern hierarchy who have approved and implemented the errors of Vatican II no longer represent the Catholic Church and her lawful authority. This most certainly includes the one who confirmed, approved, decreed, and implemented these heretical teachings, namely Paul VI (Montini). Likewise included are his successors, namely, John Paul II (Wojtyla) and Benedict XVI (Ratzinger), who have continued to implement these heretical teachings. Despite the lack of canonical warning and formal declaration of loss of office, their repeated acts of ecumenism and their enforcement of the heresies of Vatican II and the new code of Canon Law, which are injurious to faith and morals, are manifestations of their pertinacity in heresy. THEREFORE, as the First Vatican Council infallibly teaches: “‘Thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build My Church,’ these words are proven true by actual results, since in the Apostolic See the Catholic religion has always been preserved untainted...the See of St. Peter always remains unimpaired by any error, according to the divine promise of Our Lord.” And since these “popes” have manifestly taught heresy, promoted ecumenism and fostered interfaith worship, they clearly cannot be recognized as a successor of St. Peter in the primacy. VI. THE NEW CODE OF CANON LAW: In order to implement the teachings of Vatican II, it was necessary that the modernists change the Code of Canon Law (1917), as it contradicted their designs by reflecting the mind of the Church in her past doctrine and discipline. The new code contains a matter which should be most disturbing to the informed Catholic. According to the new law of the Modern Church, non-Catholics can, under certain circumstances, petition the “sacraments” from a Catholic priest (without the non-Catholic abjuring his heretical beliefs), and the priests must administer them. The Council of Florence, as well as the 1917 Code of Canon Law (Canon 731), strictly forbids this. THEREFORE, as the universal laws of the Church are protected by her infallibility and cannot impose obligations opposed to faith and morals, the New Code must be considered as lacking all force of law. Moreover, it has been promulgated by those who no longer represent Catholic authority. VII. COURSE FOR TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC PRIESTS: Due to the unprecedented situation in the Catholic Church and the moral responsibility of the faithful to receive certainly valid sacraments, traditional priests most certainly can and must continue the mission of the Catholic Church by sanctifying the faithful through the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the administration of the Sacraments, and other pastoral works. The mind of the Church is that “the salvation of the people is the supreme law.” The 1917 Code of Canon Law will continue to be the priests’ guideline. http://www.cmri.org/sedevacantist-position.shtml

So tired this morning

Just like the title says plus my neck still hurts. It feels like I have a nail in it. Offered it up I guess

Putin Foils The Jews In Syria

Putin Foils The Jews In Syria

Registrar's office gave me a headache

Yup they did, they sure did. They originally transfered every pointless class I have taken and put it towards to my degree, you know even if it doesn't count for any requirements. So I'm over my alloted hours and now financial aid is gone for me. Vincennes U took off stuff no problem, but USI is obstinate. I was talking to one of the bureacrats and i realized shortly after that phone call that I had a neck pain and wicked headache, wow.

Something from today's sermon

Today Father talked about the times that Jesus cried in the Gospels. In the Garden Christ was crying mostly out of love. He knew what must be done but how much in vain it would be only due to so many squandering. So many would turn their backs to God. Even the same people that cheered for him as he traveled to Jerusalem later on demanded his crucifixion. It's only as time goes on that I understand the words of Christ. He cries when I squander and commit sin. I cry and agonize how far away my family and friends really are from the truth. I have a family and friends that have bought into the secular anti-christ worldliness. They don't realize it. But I know I am not alone in this valley of tears. Deo gratias

Thoughts on "liberty, equality, fraternity"

The words and motto of the satanic masonic revolt in France. Let's break it down Liberty: by liberty they mean 'freedom' from God the Almighty. Let's not bother with his Commandments, nor of the words of Jesus the Christ. Let's do our own thing let's become as the pagans. We owe our existence to God, and as such we owe it to him to obey religion as HE, and his Church have directed. Equality: Even lucifer knew that he was not capable of being God, nor of being able to be more powerful. Yet lucifer said he wanted to be 'like' God, as in being equal. This is the grave error of the notion of equality. The masons of the revolt led people to believe they could be equal as in being his/her own god. A very clear gross violation of the 1st Commandment. Fraternity: This is quite simply being in the fraternity, 'brotherhood' of lucifer himself. Here are person is only in fraternity with sin and damnation willfully

Excerts from Traditio on the mess of the concilliar, protestant, bogus ordo church

 Traditio the actually faithful catholic website

July 11, 2012 - Pope Pius I, Pope & Martyr
Simple Feast

In accordance with Benedict-Ratzinger's Modernistic Motu Summorum pontificum of July 7, 2007, the new "Hybrid Missal of 2012" that will replace the 1962 Missal on December 2, 2012, the First Sunday of Advent. This Modernized "1962 Missal" will incorporate:

1. The new "Good Friday" prayer, composed by Benedict-Ratzinger to placate the secular Jews. It contracts the ancient Good Friday prayer, as well as Catholic theology.
2. The new "prefaces" from the Novus Ordo Protestant-Masonic-Pagan service of 1969.
3. Feastdays of phony Novus Ordo "saints"
4. Other accommodations to the Novus Ordo service

July 9, 2012 - Ferial Day

 
In 1916, of course the Catholic Church was orthodox and had the valid Sacraments. Since the Newchurch of the New Order took control of the institution in 1969, that is no longer the case. Newchurch has no Sacrament of the Eucharist, just cookies and Kool-Aid; no Sacrament of Penance, just an invalid "reconciliation"; no priests, just Protestantized presbyters.

Anti-christ society

Seems like lately I've really learned how anti-christ today's world is. No one that is attached to the modernistic world really has any religion. They are more concerned with the almighty dollar, and are a slave to it. People today think going to Mass is just something to do, not an OBLIGATION. Saturday golf 'mess' is not an option, the masonic novus ordo is NOT any option. Of course today's society that does not know true Christian religion has no concept of that. Though I'm preaching the the choir here really.

Three good books here

Anti Christian America

I am planning on making a youtube video on the anti-catholic, anti-Christian sentiment in America. It will be fairly localized actually. Primarily I'm looking at when the US decided it was going to abandon Christianity, and embrace luciferian practices. Surprise, surprise this mostly started in the 1970's.

Just felt like posting something. I am still looking for a job to replace the one I was just offered. The offered one has alternating mandatory Sundays which is not a good thing when you have to get to Mass on Sunday. I'll also be on night shift at 12 hours too. St Joseph please help me find another job.

Spring has been a long semester

I think that this spring has been the longest semester ever. Just a little bit closer to graduation now, and looking for a job in summer to carrying through the fall semester now. If anyone runs by this blog, do you know of a Traditional Catholic priest that is available full-time for the Evansville, IN area?

Well Today is the Anniversary

Today is the Anniversary of the first Catholic Mass. Unfortunately I cannot partake and receive Holy Communion today. I will however be around Walton, KY for Good Friday Liturgy.

THE OATH AGAINST MODERNISM

I . . . . firmly embrace and accept each and every definition that has been set forth and declared by the unerring teaching authority of the Church, especially those principal truths which are directly opposed to the errors of this day. And first of all, I profess that God, the origin and end of all things, can be known with certainty by the natural light of reason from the created world (see Rom. 1:90), that is, from the visible works of creation, as a cause from its effects, and that, therefore, his existence can also be demonstrated: Secondly, I accept and acknowledge the external proofs of revelation, that is, divine acts and especially miracles and prophecies as the surest signs of the divine origin of the Christian religion and I hold that these same proofs are well adapted to the understanding of all eras and all men, even of this time. Thirdly, I believe with equally firm faith that the Church, the guardian and teacher of the revealed word, was personally instituted by the real and historical Christ when he lived among us, and that the Church was built upon Peter, the prince of the apostolic hierarchy, and his successors for the duration of time. Fourthly, I sincerely hold that the doctrine of faith was handed down to us from the apostles through the orthodox Fathers in exactly the same meaning and always in the same purport. Therefore, I entirely reject the heretical' misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change from one meaning to another different from the one which the Church held previously. I also condemn every error according to which, in place of the divine deposit which has been given to the spouse of Christ to be carefully guarded by her, there is put a philosophical figment or product of a human conscience that has gradually been developed by human effort and will continue to develop indefinitely. Fifthly, I hold with certainty and sincerely confess that faith is not a blind sentiment of religion welling up from the depths of the subconscious under the impulse of the heart and the motion of a will trained to morality; but faith is a genuine assent of the intellect to truth received by hearing from an external source. By this assent, because of the authority of the supremely truthful God, we believe to be true that which has been revealed and attested to by a personal God, our creator and lord.

Furthermore, with due reverence, I submit and adhere with my whole heart to the condemnations, declarations, and all the prescripts contained in the encyclical Pascendi and in the decree Lamentabili, especially those concerning what is known as the history of dogmas. I also reject the error of those who say that the faith held by the Church can contradict history, and that Catholic dogmas, in the sense in which they are now understood, are irreconcilable with a more realistic view of the origins of the Christian religion. I also condemn and reject the opinion of those who say that a well-educated Christian assumes a dual personality-that of a believer and at the same time of a historian, as if it were permissible for a historian to hold things that contradict the faith of the believer, or to establish premises which, provided there be no direct denial of dogmas, would lead to the conclusion that dogmas are either false or doubtful. Likewise, I reject that method of judging and interpreting Sacred Scripture which, departing from the tradition of the Church, the analogy of faith, and the norms of the Apostolic See, embraces the misrepresentations of the rationalists and with no prudence or restraint adopts textual criticism as the one and supreme norm. Furthermore, I reject the opinion of those who hold that a professor lecturing or writing on a historico-theological subject should first put aside any preconceived opinion about the supernatural origin of Catholic tradition or about the divine promise of help to preserve all revealed truth forever; and that they should then interpret the writings of each of the Fathers solely by scientific principles, excluding all sacred authority, and with the same liberty of judgment that is common in the investigation of all ordinary historical documents.

Finally, I declare that I am completely opposed to the error of the modernists who hold that there is nothing divine in sacred tradition; or what is far worse, say that there is, but in a pantheistic sense, with the result that there would remain nothing but this plain simple fact-one to be put on a par with the ordinary facts of history-the fact, namely, that a group of men by their own labor, skill, and talent have continued through subsequent ages a school begun by Christ and his apostles. I firmly hold, then, and shall hold to my dying breath the belief of the Fathers in the charism of truth, which certainly is, was, and always will be in the succession of the episcopacy from the apostles. The purpose of this is, then, not that dogma may be tailored according to what seems better and more suited to the culture of each age; rather, that the absolute and immutable truth preached by the apostles from the beginning may never be believed to be different, may never be understood in any other way.

I promise that I shall keep all these articles faithfully, entirely, and sincerely, and guard them inviolate, in no way deviating from them in teaching or in any way in word or in writing. Thus I promise, this I swear, so help me God. . .

Dad's in the hospital

Last Friday my Dad was having bad Montezuma's revenge and began to get really week. Saturday my mom took dad to the emergency room. Dad had some sort of hardness on his stomach area. Turns out that hardness was due to his bladder being 'locked up'. The doctors drained 2 liters of the yellow stuff from my dad. Yup that's a lot. Dad was also in a lot of pain. He's still in the hospital.

This week has been pretty good

Just guessing, I think I might have been blessed with a few more graces this week. Sure I tanked a test in game theory class. But it's like Father said, You might lose a foot or your house might burn down either way if you are still in a state of grace things will be ok. That test although might prevent me from graduating, my fault really, but in the grand scheme of things that test is insignificant. I hope I can get enough sleep next saturday to drive 50 minutes one way for Easter Midnight Mass.

I'm like a kid in a candy store

still feeling good about my visit to SE indy and northern Kentucky. Mass two days in a row is a rarity

VA appointment

Surprisingly my VA appointment today was quite painless. They managed to not hit a nerve when drawing blood so I did not almost pass out this time.

It's sad when so many are apostates or nominal catholics

http://www.traditio.com/comment/com1203.htm

Unfortunately the link shows exactly how bad it is in the novus ordo church. I'm sure that people will likely say, oh it's just those individuals well that happens to be the overwhelming majority in the novus ordo after the Vatican II council.

Mea culpa

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

Saturday if Spring Break

It's been a while. Well game theory class is hard. A real challenge. This is my first Lent after having been received in the Church. Fasting is not always easy. At times I wonder, "Did I eat too much?"
Yesterday the tornadoes flew through the SW Indy tristate. I'm going to go ahead and say, I believe the reason the tornados didn't come through town was ask the Blessed Virgin Mary for protections yesterday.

It's been a rough week

Need to get to church today. This week has been rough.

Comical in a disturbed way.

The novus ordo folk are finally crying out about the forced murder of infants through contraceptives, yet they are absolutely silent in regards to the modernism that is rampant in the novus ordo. Sheesh.

Interesting tests today

Hopefully I didn't bomb those tests today, sheesh. On forward Catholic soldier.

It came to my attention of a bad situation

I thought a family member was in a good place, but I was informed that was not the case. It seems things are worse of now than ever before. *sigh*

Looks so familier

Girl in class looks so familiar but I have no clue why

This past week was pretty rough

I really need the Sacraments today.

Why the rotten ones live a long time

There are certain individuals of advanced age that have evil intentions. They have been graced with a longer life giving them the opportunity to repent but sadly usually they don't.

I am done with comments in attempt to wake people up

All people want today is to stay in his/her own little Matrix. No one seems to really want the truth. It truly is like the saying you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. I began to get the same typical reaction from the zombies at school today. Funny how cognitive reasoning is emphasized in my major and actual thought generation but trying to actually reason with people it can't be done. If someone actually does want truth and truly intends to seek it out I will then help that person but otherwise...

Unbelievable

So so called studies will claim that baby murder is safer than child birth. Ok what about that little child you wish to murder. Yes that small baby you have condoned to the killing of? You know, the one that you have been charged with the protection of? Shall I mention that it is not safer due to you suffering eternal torture in hell, with Satan laughing at you?

Oh and there is the aspect that the so called American President promotes the human sacrifice of infants, all the while he CLAIMS to be a christian. These people are sick.

I had asked a priest once, "at what point can we no longer separate the person from his/her sins" and he said, "by their fruits you will know them", You Barry Soetoro have made yourself known.

The Jewish Talmud Exposed

Another piece of good news

In addition to the positive response to I received in doing my last two class in fall through distance, I also received a letter today saying my state/federal financial aid would be reinstated for this spring semester, WOOHOO. I can't thank the angels and saints that I have asked for prayers for these things. Mostly for GOD for granting me a bit of mercy in regards to this.

Keeping up hope

I may be able to move at the end of summer and lease instead of the end of the fall semester

Speak the truth lose a friend, or at least acquintence

So goes reality. If you admonish and/or speak the truth it means you are evil. *sigh*

Why?

Why is it when a man is 'dressed up' he is covered head to toe, yet when a woman is 'dressed up' she wears as little as possible and looks like a streetwalker?

Wake up folks

When will people realize that a politician is not a statesman? Politicians do not care about you, your wife/husband, children born or not. They care about greed and mammon.

Wow

The most interesting conversation behind me

If you told me ten years ago

If you told me ten years ago that in 10 years I would be getting up out of bed at 4:45 am to go to Catholic Mass on a Saturday morning I would likely have said, "pshhh, whatever" and laughed at you. Funny how things work out

All bits of entertainment aside

Do you worship sports or do you worship Thy lord thy God? Do you worship a man that throws a freaking ball or do you worship the Creator that with thought created the multiverse?

Newest addition to the World Inquisition store

World Inquisition store

Throughout history The catholic faith has squashed pagans

After the pilgrimage to Rome on constant has stood out. The Church, the catholic faith has always squashed paganism. Pagan Rome was the empire at the time in which Jesus walked the earth. We may also look at Our lady of Guadalupe. The Blessed Virgin crushes the serpent beneath her feet. Coincidentally the demon Quatzecoutl(sp) was the main being of worship for pagan Mexico. St Benedict founded his monastery at Montecassino crushing a pagan temple to Apollo.

I guess the point is when will the catholic faith, and the Church crush pagan United States. The US has promoted 'americanism', freedom to worship false religions, satanic religions, violent sports, money, items. The United States also promotes 'tollllerance' of sodomy, homosexuality, fornication, freedom of divorce. Is it time that the united states is crush by divine justice?

Over the Christmas break I received a surprise.

I found out something that was a bit shocking. Now I had been in my parents basement while visiting and noticed on the bookshelf a Douay Reims Bible. You know, the real Bible not the error filled bastardized protestant one. I was perplexed as to why it was there. Well I looked inside and it turns out it was given to my Mom's Mom by my great-grandparents. My great-grandparents were catholic! My grandmother was as it turns out an apostate catholic. It seems a priest back then had said something that my grandmother didn't like. In other words prideful sensibility took over. This was quite a shock to me. Coincidentally if my grandmother had not apostatized I would probably not be here today. Given that my own mother would have been brought up catholic and would have been forbidden to marry my dad, a protestant. Aka mixed marriage.

Vatican Museum, and Vatican Gardens January 5th

Well, now on the Thursday the group went to the Vatican museum and Vatican Gardens. I was happy to see the Sistine Chapel, Raphael's "School of Athens". There were also some good works of St Gregory slaying the dragon. The works of art at the Vatican are priceless. The vatican gardens were also quiet and calm. We Grotto with the Blessed Virgin, and also an old fortification wall built in the 800's! Part of the wall was gone but still it was amazing, it was kinda funny also that there parrots living there.

Montecassino, Italy January 4th

So I'm a little behind at this point, a week to be exact. The visit to Montecassino and the monastery that Saint Benedict founded was great. We were able to visit the Saints burial place however it was off limits at the time so I was not able to even touch the St Benedict medal a new friend gave me to the tomb of Saint Benedict. It is a wonderful place to visit and the reconstruction after the Allies bombed it in WW2 is not really even visible. After that we went back to Rome and the group was able to visit St Paul Basilica outside the Walls. I was happy to do that. St Paul is my Baptismal patron and part of my Baptismal name :D.

Been a little busy

We've been a bit late in getting back to the Centro. I haven't had the energy to post the last couple of nights. I do have gobs of video clips and pictures. We went to Mt Vesuvius today it was quite beautiful there by the sea, and cold.

St Peter's Basillica, Holy Souls Cathedral and more today.

We got to St `Peters today and went up to the top of the Dome. And we walked all over the place. We got to go to a church dedicated to the Souls in purgatory. `When at st `peter's today I was not happy that of all the places for them to put a Nativity scene the used it to cover up the tomb of `Pope St `Pius X. The modernists obviously did that on purpose. Dinner was awesome! Tomorrow we are going to a Benedictine monastery. The stupid mac won't recognize my camera so I'll have to upload regular pictures on someone elses computer. I'll try to get my video clips up on photobucket.

In Rome safe and sound

Safe in Rome. We went to `palatine hill today and looked at some old ruins. Had some real italian pizza today and it was gooooood. Pasta starter for dinner, followed by sliced breaded and fried turkey, then some awesome fried/baked potato bits, followed by ice cream. We also walked around the Colosseum. Tomorrow is a lengthy day at Vatican City.
