"By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes"

-MacBeth
William Shakespeare

Wicked betrayal comes this way this evening, in the shape of Judas. We are reminded how he informed on Christ, His Divine Master, to the chief priests and the Pharisees in the Mass of the Last Supper which begins the Easter Triduum. (That is, of course, for the faithful who are privileged with laptops and ipads. Others will have to make do with their hand missals. Oh, silly me, I forgot. Hand missals went out with Vatican II. Well, pray the Rosary, then.)

Betrayal also comes our way from the Vatican. In Passion Week our reigning Pontiff rejected his title and presumably his role as Vicar of Christ who will "love him to the end". Now in Holy Week, on Holy Thursday, he announces that he wants another Commission into women deacons. 

On the day we commemorate the first Holy Mass, celebrated by Jesus Christ our High Priest, Bergoglio - as he evidently prefers to be called - is in effect proposing women priests. 

Women priests, as we know, were declared an impossibility by Pope St John Paul, in Ordinatio sacerdotalis (Priestly Ordination) in 1994:
"The Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women". 

And in 2016 Pope (as he was then, but no longer it seems) Francis confirmed that statement. Queried by reporters in one of his on-the-fly interviews, he said, " the declaration of St. John Paul... goes in that direction, yes." 

Note as always, the lack of clarity, of "yes, yes and no, no".Maybe he had altitude sickness at the time but today's announcement comes yet again from his 'God of surprises'.

Betrayal comes from the world's apostasising bishops who,  incredibly, have bowed down before the goddess Coronaphobia, to whom they are sacrificing the eternal survival of millions deprived of the Last Rites, and zillions of reprobates deprived of Confession.  

Our socialist, conscienceless Government, led by "kind" Jacinda Ardern are betraying New Zealand's mothers-to-be and their babies, by the we-don't-give-a-damn legislation they rushed through before lockdown, to allow DIY abortions at home. 

Pills can be prescribed now by any mad, bad doctor in a Facetime, phone, Skype or Zoom 'consultation' and couriered to the door - which could be opened by the woman's partner or boyfriend or maybe a Tinder date (like Jesse Kempson), who sees murder by mail as an answer to the 'problem' of an accidental baby.

Forget the old bogey of back-street abortions, visited on us by all the Margaret Sparrows who plied their evil trade in clinics -  still do - and still don't want to miss out on any revenue. 

Thanks to Jacinda and Minister of Injustice Little, welcome to the brave new world of bathroom abortions. In lockdown. We can only hope and pray that there's someone competent to help those poor women - or teenagers - who are trapped in their 'bubbles' following their DIY abortions, maybe with complications requiring urgent medical assistance.

The people of New Zealand have been betrayed by a dopy Government which in a fit of panic brought on by ridiculous 'modelling' locked us all up and threw away the key. 

We are an island nation, like Taiwan. In Taiwan, five people have died of Covid-19, out of a population of  23.78 million. I suppose with that many people they have a better chance of brains in government. 

Not just Taiwan, but Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong and China have contained the disease - and let's remember the disease kills just a fraction of the number killed by ordinary old flu - without ordering people out of the office and into virtual house arrest.

Do you know anyone with Covid-19? No? 

But how many do you know who've had urgent medical or hospital treatment cancelled? How many who've lost their job? Who have taken their own life?

Do all the magaholics - mostly women - who depend on their weekly fix of the Listener, North and South, Women's Own and so on and are now stuck at home without them, realise the Magazine Publishers' Association says mags are the only product banned from supermarket shelves, and that's part of the reason why the publisher Bauer has folded, with a loss of 230 jobs? (The rest of the reason was mostly the internet, Google etc, but we'll talk about that another day.)

Would you have found that on our fave Tv presenter Jacinda Ardern's nightly show, TvOne 'News'? Did Bauer get a foot in the door there to explain? No: they wouldn't have got a word in edge-wise, what with the daily litany of Covid-19 stats showing how Ardern is saving tens of thousands of lives.

Kiwis are betraying one another. Kiwis! Famous for fair-mindedness! Dobbing one another in for hunting, tramping, swimming, surfing and boating: all the above are now FORBIDDEN by Big Sister Jacinda. "No one likes a rule breaker," says Little Brother Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield. 

Gosh, how about my friend - who shall remain nameless lest he be reported - who's been happily ensconced in his mai mai on a duck pond all day, making it comfy? Is he "selfishly flouting the rules" as the Game Animal Council puts it? Is my friend a "rule breaker"? Should I snitch on him? It's easy to do, you know: Police Commissioner Mike Bush has supplied us with an online form. And no, I'm not giving you the link. 

It's only a matter of time before the gummint fits out the brave men in blue not just with drones but Live Facial Recognition and body worn video alongside predictive algorithms and big data (just how will Mr Plod cope with all that?). Big Sister is in charge: anything is possible - and after the infamous Get Pell carry-on in Orstraylia, can we trust the police to use them proper?https://www.returntoorder.org/2020/04/who-needs-conspiracy-theories-when-progressives-openly-describe-the-post-corona-world/?pkg=rtoe0924

All this is about (as of last Sunday) 1039 people with Covid-19 and one dead since the 'pandemic' began. 'Panic-emic' more like. What's the flu count?

What gives the Government's game away - to a suspicious mind - is the scaremongering. Big Sister - or her Minister of Sick, David Clarke, now sacked for being a naughty boy, going on a bike ride - got some Prof at Otago University to produce a 'worst case' scenario, paraded on March 24 to lead the six o'clock news, of 27,600 deaths - and what's more, "hospital staff could go on strike" - that is, without The Lockdown.

We had to have The Lockdown. The Lockdown would whip the nation into submission through establishment of a new Ministry of Fear, ministering by extra powers of surveillance  and technology.

Another friend opined today that "after The Lockdown the world will be different, it will be more - global." She is prophetic. Being the truly kind person she is, she meant that a global world will be A Better Place. We think not.

Neither does Edward Snowden, the former CIA contractor who leaked stuff about spying programmes in 2013. 

Once a government cloaked in 'kindness' is given new powers to deal with 'emergencies' -  in the case of Covid-19, largely 'Made in NZ' - "the emergency tends to be expanded" (thus we are inflicted with the nightly Covid-19 updates which strive to make a mountain out of a molehill). "Then the authorities become comfortable with some new power. They start to like it." And how.

Snowden gave a scenario of how the governments could be inclined to use existing fitness trackers so popular today, to issue government orders demanding access to personal medical data such as a person's heart rate stored on the device. 

Snowden suggested that this could feasibly be done under the guise of protecting everyone’s health to combat the coronavirus. Many years down the road this technology could be left in place, much like the extra security precautions seen around the world after the September 11 terrorist attacks which remain in place today.

Spooky? Orwellian? You bet. More of that anon. 

Still on the Maundy Thursday theme of treachery, but with a kinder guide: Bishop Athanasius Scneider of Kazakhstan says, apropos of bishops chosen by the Holy See under Ostpolitik in dealing with Communist countries in Eastern Europe - and now in China - that some of the former were revealed to be collaborators with the Communist regime, and of the latter situation, "a bishop who is even a partial collaborator with an atheist regime will bring enormous spiritual damage to the priests and faithful."

"The bishops in those countries have to say to the government, "You are the authority, and I respect authority. I will observe the laws  ... unless they contradict divine law. ... I have to teach my people that, when the authority compels people to do something against the divine law, we cannot collaborate with you." (Christus Vincit.) 

Do you catch my drift? Is this Coalition Government not an "atheist regime"? It's an atheist regime which is compelling people to stay away from Mass and the Sacraments!

"It is always a matter of shame and harm for a bishop to be a collaborator with an atheistic system of government" ... You can be loyal as a citizen, but this does not imply that you have to collaborate.

"Bishops and even cardinals are appointed nowadays in the Western world who are obvious collaborators with the system - in this case not with a formal Communist regime, but with the Western liberal and Masonic regime of the unitary mindset under which we are now suffering throughout the Western world."(ibid).

This evening I "heard" Mass livestreamed from Immaculate Heart of Mary Church Avondale, Auckland. Fr. Ian Andrew Palko, FSSPX regretted the absence of the organ playing, the bells pealing, the flowers ...

He spoke of:

• the great error of the Protestant rebels, and of many priests, bishops and even Popes today, that the Mass is a communal meal
• the evil effects of changing a Sacrifice into a meal, among them priests "eating" (receiving Communion), poorly prepared, several times a day
• One Sacrifice, one Communion - because Our Lord died only once
• how men were once ordained to service at the altar
• how with non-ordained men and women doing this it seems like the priest is second to the laity
• Mass is not a communal meal: St Paul says, let people eat at home
• the Mass is the Sacrifice of Our Lord on the Cross, re-presented every time, the same Sacrifice
• the Mass is not service
• the Mass is not worship
• Christ continues the one single oblation in a Sacramental way
• The Mass is not a paschal meal
• Meals 'celebrating the Passover' are a great insult to Our Lord
• the Sacrifice of the Mass is the only thing that prevents the wrath of God coming down upon us
• St Padre Pio, stating that it would be easier for the world to exist without the sun than without the Mass
• the Government forced the churches to close but the Bishops would have closed them anyway
• it is terribly wicked that abortion is essential and the Mass is not
• the State cannot understand
• it is partially our fault because we are apathetic; we bear the fault
• we Catholics, do we value the Mass?
• the Mass is our only hope
• the first principle of the priesthood is The Sacrifice
• Mass takes a priest only half an hour: the other 23 and a half hours are preparation
• so many priests left the priesthood because of the inversion of the priest's role
• they were taught their first task was to preach the Gospel; the Mass became a footnote
• they became social workers
• the priesthood demands a high level of perfection: celibacy
• the priest is for the Sacrifice
• good priests have to repair for bad ones
• we need holy priests, many priests, many holy priests
• we need young men to offer themselves as victims for sin 
• we need the Blood of Christ shed more
• we need to unite our sacrifices with Christ's
• while we're stuck in our homes we need to thank Our Lord 
• we should remember our bad Communions and ask for opportunities to make good Communions 
• the Mass has been taken from us; we need to make good general Confessions
• we should try to return to the innocence of our First Communion

Judas, said Fr Palko, was the first bad bishop. But it was Judas who with his traitor's kiss lured Jesus into the hands of His executioners, to be that Sacrifice which for the time being we are denied.

With the Blessed Virgin Mary we approach Calvary, asking her for the grace to treasure the Mass, treasure priests. For the grace to contemplate these Mysteries.
