The prose and poetry of mystics like John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila and Edith Stein – all informed by the Gospel – is my ‘melody’. The ‘new composition’ is this blog and my indie novel ‘The Age for Love’. To buy my book go to amazon.com or smashwords.com and download to your kindle, iPad, phone or any reading device.

Are NZ's Catholic Bishops not now betraying Christ by their silence, as He is crucified once more by the demonic perversion of men who groom small children for their sexual gratification? While God's rainbow, the sign of His covenant with mankind, is suborned by these deviants, the bishops stay silent .(In fact their 'Aroha and Diversity in Catholic Schools' positively encourages this evil ideology.) </i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i>But Emeritus Bishop Peter Cullinane of Palmerston North has plenty to say in </i>Cathnews<i>, about</i><i> "</i></b></span><b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i>small family arguments".

The bishop </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">hearkens back wistfully to the French Revolution which "pushed back" against "bishops being princes and lords" with the catch-cry of liberty, equality and fraternity inspired by the Freemasons - with whom +Cullinane's views seem closely affiliated.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">He reckons that "</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">others have partially removed themselves from in-house discussion by opting for a “spirituality” more or less independent of the Church". Translated, that means faithful, <b>traditional Catholics who uphold the millennia-long doctrine of the Catholic Church - especially in regard to sodomy - don't have the same right to be heard as Novus Ordo-ites. </b>His "</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">small family arguments", he says - such as blessing sodomites - "should not be given more time than we give to reaching out to people in need and working to transform society."</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">But that Gospel mission's success depends only on preaching the Gospel, and its failure is due simply to not doing that. <b>The principal driver for its post-conciliar, chronic failure is its synthetic Mass, the Novus Ordo, which in and of itself teaches worship not of God, but of man. </b></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Bishop Cullinane's cognitive dissonance in regard to this unpalatable truth is not unlike the refusal of the jabbed to recognise its effects - the v^x injured and 'died suddenlys'.

In short, <b>the vaccines were tainted with abortion and the morality of taking them was at the very least questionable.</b> No one was morally required to receive the vaccines, as even the Vatican</span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.05px;"> </span><a href="https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20201221_nota-vaccini-anticovid_en.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -0.05px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 0.1s ease-in-out 0s, background-color 0.1s ease-in-out 0s;">acknowledged</a><span style="letter-spacing: -0.05px;">. As to effectiveness, only the most hard-core ideologues still think the vaccines were able to stop or even substantially slow the spread of Covid. People of good will now recognize the vaccines at best simply lessened the symptoms in some people, and at worst caused more injuries than they prevented.</span></span></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; letter-spacing: -0.05px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: #fcff01;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Sadly, Pope Francis appear</span><b><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">s</span> to be one of those hard-core ideologues, not a person of good will.</b></span><span style="background-color: white;"> And like most ideologues, he is happy to deny reality and to demean and disparage any who might disagree with him. He stated that “being against the antidote [the Covid </span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.05px;">vaccines] is an almost suicidal act of denial.” Considering the fact that there is absolutely no evidence that the Covid vaccines prevented deaths on any significant scale (and likely </span><em style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; letter-spacing: -0.05px;">caused</em><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.05px;"> deaths in some who took them), this statement is itself an “act of denial:” a denial of reality. But this is the way of the ideologue: reality and facts don’t matter; all that matters is The Cause.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; letter-spacing: -0.05px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">But it gets worse. <b>Francis then made a veiled—and disgraceful—comment about Cardinal Raymond Burke, who opposed the vaccines and almost died of Covid. The pope said, “There were even a few anti-vaxxers among the bishops: some came close to death.” </b>This was the second time Francis made such a jab at Cardinal Burke. He describes Burke as an “anti-vaxxer” when he knows that neither the Cardinal nor most opponents of the Covid vaccines were against <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">all</em> vaccines, and he implies that Burke almost died because he didn’t get the vaccine when those who didn’t get vaccinated didn’t have higher death rates than those who did get vaxed. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; letter-spacing: -0.05px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">To be honest, my first thought upon reading the pope’s comments was, “Is he really so petty?” Not only are his statements not very Christian, they are not even decent. I wouldn’t expect such a low remark from a good-natured atheist, much less a Catholic, much less the leader of <span style="letter-spacing: -0.05px;">the Catholic Church. Even if the pope were right about the effectiveness of the vaccine (but again, he isn’t), <b>to treat someone’s serious illness as a means to promote one’s viewpoint is despicable.</b></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; letter-spacing: -0.05px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Unfortunately, though, we’ve come to expect this from our current leader. Like the ideologue he is, Pope Francis treats his perceived enemies with contempt. It’s no secret the pope doesn’t like Cardinal Burke and so he is an obstacle to be overcome in Francis’s drive to achieve his goals. What’s amazing is how much both the mainstream and Catholic media still carry water for Francis, claiming he’s about “mercy.” Perhaps for those who don’t dare raise their voices against his Program, but not to any who put the Faith (or medical safety) before obeisance to the Pope’s Program.</span></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; letter-spacing: -0.05px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: -0.05px;">While this behavior</span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.05px;"> from the Supreme Pontiff is disappointing and discouraging, it’s no longer surprising.

Yet Pope Francis’s Vatican has such contempt for Rupnik’s victims that they still treat the disgraced priest with respect and even admiration. Why?

There appears to be nothing in the messages published by MDM which is contrary to Church doctrine. They have not yet been approved by the Church, mainly because it's the task of the diocesan Ordinary (the bishop) to investigate and report his findings to the Vatican. But while a bishop may suppress messages in order to investigate them, he may not - like +Garcia-Siller, who has cancelled good priests in the past and now cancels good Catholic laity as well - suppress them merely on a whim. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">And anyway we may ask what is the Vatican, who yesterday indicated that deaconesses are coming to the Church, likely to make of messages calling Jorge Bergoglio a "usurper"? Not a lot. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>The supreme law of the Church is the salvation of souls.

Compare that with the NO Mass, especially concelebrated. As Kennedy Hall comments,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large; text-align: justify;"> "People will say, I couldn't hear what the priest was saying. Too bad. He was talking to God, not you. It's not about YOU."

They don't believe in the blood atonement of Christ, in the Mass as a propitiatory sacrifice offered by Christ to the Father. If you really pushed these prelates as to what they do believe in they would probably start talking about Cardinal Fernandez and his book about kissing and orgasms as an analogue to experiencing God's love. </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">When Luther devised his German Mass, what happened?

Bergoglio and Co are using their authority, but <b>authority and power, says Kennedy Hall - who as a Canadian and unv^xxed, experienced a national trauma not unlike New Zealand's under the Ardern regime - are not the same thing</b>; there is no power unless there is consent - as New Zealanders, especially NZ's Catholic bishops and people, consented to the evil of the v^ccine, Bergoglio's "act of love". </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>"The power can't do anything if there is massive resistance to it.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">I can speak for myself. <b>I believe in the right of every
person to live his life as he sees fit, constrained only by the obvious
corollary that he must respect the right of all others to do the same. </b>That's
what Ayn Rand called the non-initiation of force principle, often called the
non-aggression principle: "No man may initiate the use of physical force
against others. No man—or group or society or government—has the right to
assume the role of a criminal and initiate the use of physical compulsion
against any man. Men have the right to use physical force only in retaliation
and only against those who initiate its use.” </span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;">"Retaliation" meaning self-defence we assume and not just for individuals but for nations.</span> </p><blockquote><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

believe <b style="background-color: #fcff01;">governments, charged with protecting their citizens from
force-initiators, must be meticulous in vetting those who wish to enter their
countries. </b></span></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><blockquote><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">At minimum, of course, known criminals must be kept out. So too
must those of force-initiating ideologies who believe that only they are
righteous and right, and that they have the right—nay, the duty—to force their
view on everyone else. Here it must be assumed that adherents to such a view
are sincere and will act on it. The default position must be to<b style="background-color: #fcff01;"> keep them out.
In our current context that would mean no Marxists and no Islamists, at
minimum. </b></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Currently, by contrast, <b>Beijing Biden the Bribed Bastard has
opened America to mass, illegal immigration. That is one of the things he was
bribed to do.</b> <b style="background-color: #fcff01;">The invasion by ten million third worlders, including Marxists,
Islamists and criminals since Biden's inauguration is not the result of
incompetence, mismanagement or senility. It is deliberate. </b>Now we learn that
300,000 illegals have been flown in secretly by Biden in the last 12 months.
Without disclosing who was bribing him, Biden told us what he would do and
he has been devastatingly competent in doing it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

71-year old woman. </span></strong></p>
<p style="line-height: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Keen Minshull (@thePosieParker) is beyond the

<p style="line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">The Auckland District Court has just heard the case of the
young man from Gisborne who was filmed bashing a seventy-something year old
grandma in the face at the Posie Parker event at Albert Park last year. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><strong><span face=""Helvetica",sans-serif" style="color: #333333;">Incredibly, this man has been discharged, without conviction
(although he had no defence), and on top of that has received name
suppression. </span></strong><span face=""Helvetica",sans-serif" style="color: #333333;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">That means this woman not only has to accept that she was
violently assaulted and her assailant gets off scot-free (we're told he has
ADHD, so, you know, what can the Courts do?), but she also can't name him in the media or elsewhere, publicly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Little does more to promote the use of violence than impunity.
Violence in response to speech, even speech of the most offensive kind, must
not be tolerated. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

gags victims and is salt in a very raw wound.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Tens of thousands of Kiwis signed the Free Speech Union’s
public letter to the police following last year’s incident, claiming the
police failed in their role. This latest insult adds to injury
(literally). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><strong><span face=""Helvetica",sans-serif" style="color: #333333;">The Free Speech Union is taking legal advice and looking to

<p style="line-height: 18pt;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Not only should the defendant be punished, the victim should
be able to speak. They should have been able to freely attend and listen at

F<b>or a 34-year-old female of average weight and height with no underlying pathologies, using her own (fresh, not frozen) egg, the success rate was 50 percent.</b> That’s an ideal case; for someone older, or with a history of ovulatory or uterine disorders, or scar tissue—<b>such as might result from a surgical abortion</b>—the odds are lower. </span></span></p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; letter-spacing: -0.05px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.05px;">It is precisely these odds that require the most appalling aspect of IVF: the creation of multiple embryos so that <b>lab technicians can choose the </b></span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.05px;"><b style="background-color: white;">most robust, leaving 8 to 20 embryos for cold storage.</b><span style="background-color: white;"> Those embryonic persons who didn’t make the cut have a sad fate unworthy of human life: waiting in a cryogenic limbo. </span><b style="background-color: white;">Over a million embryos are stored in the United States</b><span style="background-color: white;">, with no clear plan for their lives.</span><b style="background-color: #fcff01;"> Some will become subjects of scientific experimentation. </b></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; letter-spacing: -0.05px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.05px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.05px;">The odds of a live birth by IVF go down even further when using embryos previously frozen.

Instead of a podium, two chairs had been arranged in a sort of conversation pit. The bishop seemed a bit tentative about the seating arrangement, clutching his sheaf of notes, presumably his prepared speech. Once they were <span style="letter-spacing: -0.05px;">seated, Hudson led off with an open question about progress toward achieving the ideal of one nation under God, and the bishop took off extemporaneously.</span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #222222; letter-spacing: -0.05px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">A student of the bishop from way back, I recognized his preaching style, the way he tips forward like a drinky bird when he is making an especially essential point, his whole body saying: “listen.” Around three minutes into the event, he unfolded his notes; around five minutes, he began speaking from them. There was apparently nothing Hudson could do to stop <span style="letter-spacing: -0.05px;">him, even if he had wanted to. The bishop had something to say, and once he began to speak from his notes, he rolled like a freight train. <b>Around the 13-minute mark, the bishop got to the IVF issue.

She made the admission to an audience of fawning students and staff at the Harvard John F Kennedy forum.
She suggests to the audience that if they ever find themselves consumed by self doubt they should think of her for inspiration.
Frankly, I don't think it was any kind of syndrome. She was right to doubt her competence as Prime Minister.
She saw herself as out of her depth because she truly was out of her depth, and in spite of the tales she told the clapping seal Harvard audience about her roaring success in the role, she was in actuality probably the most incompetent PM in NZ's history.</span></div><div class="css-1rynq56 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0 r-37j5jr r-1inkyih r-16dba41 r-bnwqim r-135wba7" data-testid="tweetText" dir="auto" id="id__gpopak8lowi" lang="en" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);

It's as disordered as the sad individuals at Big Gay Out which featured Deputy Prime Minister Nicola Willis and minor minister Chris Bishop in the van, displaying at the very least poor political judgment and an inability to think straight (pun unintended). </p></span></span><blockquote style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: black; white-space-collapse: collapse;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b><span face=""var(--ricos-font-family,unset)",serif" style="border: 1pt none windowtext; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; padding: 0cm;">The </span><i><span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; padding: 0cm;">Herald</span></i></b><span face=""var(--ricos-font-family,unset)",serif" style="border: 1pt none windowtext; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; padding: 0cm;"><b> left reporting the speech to Sam Hurley who interspersed a few of Luxon’s comments with only partially relevant counter arguments from the Leader of the Opposition, while failing to remind readers that the appalling educational and welfare statistics occurred under Chris Hipkins’ government.</b> <b style="background-color: #fcff01;">Make no mistake about it: the Main Stream Media are hard at work trying to undermine the new government.</b></span><span face=""var(--ricos-font-family,unset)",serif" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><b><o:p style="background-color: #fcff01;"></o:p></b></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: inherit;">In the end, I found the full speech.

Pope Benedict XVI on February 28, 2013, which if correct would render it invalid. Several more may apply to the ensuing conclave of cardinals and at least three more may
apply to the status of Jorge Bergoglio/Pope Francis. All of which affect the

vacant. It 's most likely that at least one is correct; possibly several.</i></b></span><o:p></o:p></p>

of the major institutions of the Church are controlled by cardinals who either
attempted to remove Pope Benedict from Office, and/or helped to put Bergoglio/Francis
where he is now, or by men who have been made cardinals since then and were
approved by him. The legitimate authorities in Rome whom the bishops or lay
faithful would normally petition for help appear to have fallen under control
of those who are either faithless hirelings who are afraid of Bergoglio/Francis
and/or wolves masquerading as shepherds.

It was still on trial, had had insufficient testing — if any — and no one knew the full contents of the vials. If she didn’t know what was in it, how could she determine it was safe?</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #fcff01;">Meanwhile the mainstream media stepped up their government-paid advertising, putting pressure on and shouting the ‘safe and effective’ propaganda on radio stations every 30 minutes.

At the time of the mandates, he was to be sent to Christchurch for assessment but Kate wasn’t ‘vaccinated’ so she understood they were not able to go. They would have been turned away from Ronald McDonald House – a place for parents with children at the hospital – for the same reason.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">This was when the ‘unvaccinated’ were ‘not permitted’ to go anywhere except the supermarket. Kate and John were under additional stress because <b>access to Michael’s life-saving test-strips – which informed the parents whether he needed insulin or carbohydrates – suddenly seemed mysteriously rationed to the point there was minimal supply available to them.</b> It was like flying blind.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Michael continued to battle with fluctuating blood sugar levels and related issues. Should Kate and their two older sons should get the jabs or not? It was a stalemate. Kate decided to have just one injection as a compromise, as she harboured deep concern that urgent products like the test-strips could otherwise be witheld.</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Their two older sons were not at all keen to have it either but they separately came to the same conclusion. They would have one jab if it meant helping to protect their little brother.

She was told it was ‘safe and effective’.

(In fact a reader of this blog is working on dissecting this issue on this page. Watch this space.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Another, subterranean and volcanic issue, lies in the validity of the <i>Novus Ordo</i> Mass (New Mass). Traditional, "backward" Catholics' supposed denial of that validity was the mendacious reasoning advanced for <i>Traditionis Custodes, </i>Bergoglio's suppression of the Mass of All Time, as the Traditional Latin Mass has been known for well over 2000 years. Well yeah, stats show that 0.01% of traditional Catholics believe the New Mass is invalid. <b style="background-color: #fcff01;">But who are, in fact, the overwhelming majority who deny the validity of the New Mass? </b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b style="background-color: #fcff01;">Why, none other than <i>Novus Ordo </i>Massgoers themselves, and the stats prove it. </b>Stats which repeatedly announce their disbelief - to the tune of 70% in the US and almost certainly more in New Zealand, given the nation's pagan character - in the source and summit of our Catholic Faith, the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. <br /><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So by a large majority, New Massgoers deny the validity of the words of Consecration.
