Zuckerberg: suppressing the truth (i.e. Hunter Biden emails)

One million Kiwis are thinking about turning into Rats and deserting Jacinda's sinking ship 'Ah-taya-ror-ah'. 

Was anyone else gobsmacked by TvOne 'News' having the impudence to report, on July 6, a mysterious rise in deaths in New Zealand since we started taking the Jab? Sadly, TvOne lost their mojo and fudged their analysis because for the Government, the stats are just so embarrassing.

The Ministry of Sick has suddenly revised its Covid data - but who is TvOne 'News' (on the payroll, so to speak), to ask the reason why? And it's not just tweaking that's going on at the MoH, it's  more like twerking - making Minister Little and his stats look sexier than they really are. Take a look.

 

In the MoH we now see what Catholics might call "a hermeneutic of discontinuity". As of yesterday, hospital admissions were suddenly reclassified - on partly subjective grounds which Ardern's 'podium of truth' is yet to reveal. Remarkably, the new stats show a huge drop in jabbed cases and only a little for the unvaxxed. MoH staffers would've had a few on the way home on Friday, slapping one another on the back for covering their Covid tracks so nicely. Talk about lies, damned lies and statistics!

The MoH say lots are in hospital now for reasons other than Covid. You bet they are! And just what are those 'reasons'? Ever heard of 'post-Covid Reflux', for example? That's what the hospital told one poor guy - jabbed to the hilt - but if he hadn't been told better we'd have said it sounded just like a heart attack. The MoH isn't releasing the data on admissions like this, so no one, not even MPs, can know what's going on. 

Over the last four months the vaccinated are becoming progressively more vulnerable to testing positive for Covid before or during hospitalisation (red line) while the unvaccinated are becoming less vulnerable (blue line).

The unvaccinated have been gradually making up a smaller and smaller proportion of cases, hospitalisations and deaths.https://thebfd.co.nz/2022/07/10/covid-stats-reveal-extent-of-immune-deficiencies/

We can guess at what's going on though, and people who pray will likely be inspired by the Holy Spirit to arrive at the truth. But they'll be silenced, like Facebook has just jailed a reader of this blog for another month after a third party reposted her piece on the unfortunate Justin Bieber, who has Ramsay Hunt Syndrome - aka Sads, aka post-vax disorder (if we are not very much mistaken).

Justin Bieber: so pretty, but a victim of the Pfizer scam

 

Truth is truth.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

-Carl Sagan, “The Demon-Haunted World”

Bamboozled, hornswaggled: you see them in any street, any Catholic church - masked muppets, as pictured for example, in the Cathnews story about conservative Catholic 'gatecrashers' at the National Synod. National synod gatecrashed (cathnews.co.nz) 

National Synod's invited attendees at St Catherine's; the Gay Pride symbol is off-camera

Kindly making conversation, probably wanting to strike a sympathetic chord - as far as that's possible when wearing a mask - an elderly religious sister remarked to one of the (unmasked) interlopers "how incredible" it was, "looking back, how quickly we all took to wearing masks". 

"Speak for yourself, Sister," would have been a very rude response, even from a gatecrasher who's never worn a mask. So she agreed with the holy sister. If by then she'd noticed the Gay Pride display in that classroom at St Catherine's, with the 'Rainbow'' blasphemy of the Polish icon of Our Lady of Czestachowa just a couple of metres away from the assembled hierarchy, she might have asked Sister if she found that incredible too.

https://juliadufresne.blogspot.com/2022/07/no-bishops-sit-with-sodomy-at-st.html

But it's not incredible. The staff at St Catherine's are bamboozled, those poor kids groomed as stoke for the fires of hell by changing their sex or having sex with one another are bamboozled, and the bishops responsible for that, sitting complacently just metres away from this egregious insult to the Mother of God are either bamboozled or bamboozlers - or both. 

The Catholic Church has been bamboozled by an atheistic, Marxist Government and its tainted money: $150 million a year doesn't come without strings. The Pride propaganda at St Catherine's might possibly have been the inspiration of one sadly misguided lesbian teacher. Possibly. A lesbian whose classroom is never inspected by the principal, not even when the Metropolitan of New Zealand and a few bishops - not to mention 80 privileged, modernist Catholics - are expected there for a Synod? Nah. 

You can bet your bottom dollar that the heresy of homosexual practices is rife in our 'Catholic' schools which are anything but Catholic, because that same heresy is encouraged by bishops and priests who are anything but Catholic, because for one thing, they refuse to call that heresy by its name: sodomy.

Parents, get your girls out of there, out of these 'Catholic' schools. Get to know a few good Proddies who home-school their children. They know how to do it, and their kids go on to get engaged and married and have kids of their own. Or move to Whanganui and enrol your children at St Anthony's School in the parish of St Anthony's SSPX, where last Sunday the banns were announced of not one but three marriages scheduled for their parish. MostNovus Ordo Catholics don't even know what marriage banns are. Look it up.

We seem to have strayed from the subject of fiddled stats at the MoH, and Facebook. But not really. Those 'gatecrashers' were there at the National Synod because they'd been muzzled, silenced and excluded. (BTW, they did not 'comply', as reported in Cathnews, with the request by Julianne Hickey (ex-compromised Caritas) that they leave the meeting; they stayed to hear Cardinal John Dew's keynote speech as they'd said they intended, and then left in their own good time) They had wanted to discover the truth and they got more than they bargained for.)

This is all about lies, and hiding lies, and suppressing the truth, and Antipope Bergoglio's  Synod is all about the huge lie of modernism, "the synthesis of all heresies" (Pope Pius X's 1907 encyclical, Pascendi Dominici Gregis). Most of all it's about Satan, the father of lies. He's bamboozled the bishops into believing his biggest lie, that he doesn't exist. At least, that's how they carry on. These days, it ain't just Paul VI's famous 'smoke' that's entered the Church but the Beast himself, an enormous elephant lurking unnoticed by the hierarchy. Apparently. 

It seems, in the street and in church, like we're living in a looney bin. And we are indeed, because the world has forgotten God and so it's gone mad. But He who had the power to cast out demons from a lunatic is with us whenever we call on Him - in our soul and in the Eucharist if we are in a state of grace, and in the tabernacle unconditionally, to cast out any and every demon, public or private. But who goes there, to that little burning light? No one to speak of. Specially not priests. We must learn to pray, and pray for priests and bishops. Seriously. All - hah! - it takes is humility, to realise that we are nothing and He is Everything.

Ann Barnhardt is one who prays seriously. She prays: 

-that Antipope Bergoglio be publicly acknowledged and removed as Antipope, and that the entire Bergoglian Antipapacy be publicly nullified;

-that Pope Benedict XVI Ratzinger be publicly acknowledged as the uninterrupted one and only living Pope since his election in April of ARSH 2005;

-that Antipope Bergoglio repent, revert to Catholicism, die in a state of grace and someday achieve the Beatific Vision;

-and that Pope Benedict XVI repent, die in a state of grace, and someday achieve the Beatific Vision.

Because once you give a charlatan power, you rarely get it back without supernatural help. But the first step is to shed the pride and acknowledge that you have been had.https://www.barnhardt.biz/

Amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.  But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting (Mt 17: 19b, 20).

R V W: NZ'S FEMINIST COVEN IN CONNIPTIONS

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB or Messenger. 

Just who is Brodie Kane? A pregnant person who is no longer pregnant because she decided not to be, because that is her 'right'. Who might Brodie Kane's child have been? A doctor, lawyer, or Indian chief? We will never know, and neither will she.

On Sunday the NZ Herald made a song and dance out of poor Kane's abortion, celebrating the death of her child to 'help other women and reduce the stigma'. This nation has progressed from pretending the unborn are 'clusters of cells' to sacrificing the next generation on the altar of the modern Molech, the god of self-interest.

The Roe v Wade reversal, on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, has NZ's feminist coven in conniptions, determined to sacrifice not only babies but any MPs (like Simon O'Connor) who dare even to hint of support for this historic win for Christ. And what are Catholic bishops  and priests bishops saying about it?  

Nothing.

Thank God we have Family First to speak out while the bishops hold their (false) peace.  

It was disappointing to buy the Herald on Sunday and be confronted with “My womb my choice” on the front page. Media ‘personality’ Brodie Kane shares her own abortion story, hoping to “help other women and reduce the stigma”. The story's written by journalist Julia Gabel (a two year Herald ‘veteran’).

You don’t need to delve into the full article to see its absolute bias. The opening paragraphs state “the Roe v Wade decision … rolled back women’s rights 50 years”, and “the ruling has put the spotlight back on Kiwi politicians who are facing scrutiny for their views on abortion”. Of course, the only Kiwi politicians facing any scrutiny are the few pro-life MPs who oppose abortion, especially those Opposition MPs who aren’t in the Labour Government (yes, some Labour MPs voted against abortion reform).

But why should anyone in New Zealand face ‘scrutiny’ for pro-life views? The majority of Kiwis don't support late-term abortions as enacted in 2020.

It’s a completely one-sided article totally favouring a pro-abortion “my body my choice” position. There is zero balance. We’re not trying to undermine Kane’s personal story but question the extreme bias of our media in reporting pro-abortion news and opinions.

Herald on Sunday might defend this one-sidedness by saying it's simply a personal story. But that doesn’t wash. Gabel goes far beyond Kane’s story and delves into the SCOTUS decision, its impact on New Zealand, and of course the media ‘scrutiny’ of National MP Simon O’Connor. Gabel needs to understand that the Abortion Legislation Act was a conscience vote and that freedom of beliefs is still protected under our Bill of Rights. Simon O’Connor should not have to face any 'scrutiny', especially from inexperienced journalists, for merely posting, in reference to the RvW ruling, "today is a good day”.

Gabel goes on to write about Brodie Kane’s pregnancy experience:

She would get her period at the same time as her flatmates, but when she missed it twice, her mind began racing. “I was like, ‘shit, oh no, no’,” she said. “I just remember … just sobbing for quite some time. Then I rang my best mate who I lived with and she came straight home.”

Hands up, all you women out there who've been through this scenario. And made the best of it: with God's help, made a child out of it whom you loved to bits.

 

Kane said her message for anyone else going through abortion was that it was “your right and what you’re doing is okay”.

The US Supreme Court just ruled that it is not "your right", dahling, and never was. If it's not a "right" in the US it's not a "right" here or anywhere else on God's earth.

  

But the newspaper isn’t satisfied with just one solitary “My womb my choice” feature article. Herald on Sunday inserts other biased pro-abortion articles into the same publication. In an article titled “Women’s rights take a giant step backwards”, journalist Vera Alves proclaims “It has not been a good week for people with uteruses”. Alves goes on to declare “Pregnant people do not need to justify their decision”. 

Oh dear, “people with uteruses, and pregnant people”. This shouldn’t surprise us, as Alves describes herself as “furiously feminist”. But we don’t really understand how the concept of “people with uteruses, and pregnant people” can be in sync with someone who is furiously feminist. After all, the term feminist is derived from French féministe, and from Latin femina ‘woman’. Just saying.

Touché! But of course Alves the furious feminist uses such rodomontade to show her sympathies for male homosexuals who would love to be 'pregnant people with uteruses' and have children too. 

This is the new LGBTQ+ morality tacitly supported even by the NZ Conference of Catholic Bishops who allow its promotion in 'Catholic' classrooms like St Catherine's, Wellington (https://juliadufresne.blogspot.com/2022/07/no-bishops-sit-with-sodomy-at-st.html). So the next generation of Catholics are persuaded that they can choose their sexuality and - although Antipope Bergoglio may say abortion is wrong, by warmly welcoming and praising pro-abortionists the 'Pope' actually promotes their satanic intentions - they will just as easily be persuaded that they can choose to kill their own children, too.

New Zealand already has the disaster known as Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Given our complaisant bishops and priests and a quiescent, not to say sleepwalking, Novus Ordo Church with a rising generation of completely disaffected non-Catholic Catholics, we can only expect more disasters to fall on this country - even worse than Ardern. 

“Over a half century ago, while I was still a child, I recall hearing a number of old people offer the following explanation for the great disasters that had befallen Russia: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened."

 If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: "Men have forgotten God; that's why all this has happened” - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Cardinal Blase Cupich, appointed by Bergoglio to the CDW, performs a Chinese lion-awakening ritual

"We do not ask “May we use the traditional rites?” We simply use them. ... In the midst of a chaotic and embarrassing mess like this, Catholics who love the liturgy can no longer look to the pope or the Roman dicasteries for serious guidance or consistent principles" - Dr Peter Kwasniewski.

"The good citizen should know how to disobey civil authority, and the good Catholic how to do the same with ecclesiastical authority, disobeying whenever the authority demands obedience to an iniquitous order"- Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò. 

For all practical purposes, the Catholic Church in New Zealand is in schism. That was obvious on the Feast of the Visitation when the Metropolitan of New Zealand, Cardinal John Dew, addressed hand-picked liberals and fellow travellers at the National Synod, from which traditional Catholics had been excluded or were asked to leave. 

The schism was emphasised by +Dew and his fellow bishops' apparent complaisance in sharing the Synod space with a blasphemous 'Rainbow' image of the traditional Polish icon, the Black Madonna, which utterly appalled the uninvited traditional Catholic infiltrators.

Dr Kwasniewski, who brilliantly exposes all the "falsehoods" enshrined in the Responsa ad Dubia of the Congregation of Divine Worship (CDW), assures us that"the way forward for Catholics is obvious".  

We do not ask “May we use the traditional rites?” We simply use them. They are beautiful and fitting. They are the Church’s perennial lex orandi and lex credendi— that which Catholics have always done and believed and should always do and believe.

Such worship is dignum et justum in the sight of God and man. Papalism, positivism, and progressivism have shown themselves to be dead-ends. Our work is to take up the Roman liturgy as it existed in its plenitude before the ideologues and construction-workers ransacked it, and carry it forward to future generations.

Dr Kwasniewski enumerates thirty-three (how significant is that number!) falsehoods in Archbishop Arthur Roche's CDW Responsa: 

"When Pope Francis (Address to the participants in the 68th National Liturgical Week, Rome, 24 August 2017) reminds us that “after this magisterium, after this long journey, We can affirm with certainty and with magisterial authority that the liturgical reform is irreversible” he wants to point us to the only direction in which we are joyfully called to turn our commitment as pastors."

Dr Kwasniewski's response to that particular responsum : 

This sentence enshrines the error that the liturgical reform as sketched out by Vatican II, elaborated by the Consilium, and enacted by Paul VI is “irreversible.” It should not require an advanced degree to see that if Pius V’s reform, mandated by an ecumenical council and enacted by the highest authority, was not irreversible, then neither is Paul VI’s. Liturgists and canonists know that there is nothing irreversible in matters of prudential decisions about liturgical discipline—although there is indeed something irreversible in the “canonization” of a rite as a pure expression of the Church’s perennial faith, which is what we find in Pius V’s Quo Primum. 

As Gregory DiPippo rightly points out (here and here), the history of liturgy is full of initiatives that have later been reassessed and reversed. And inasmuch as “organic development” names a characteristic of great importance, it is at the very least reasonable to maintain that recent, controversial, and troublesome novelties should be put aside in favor of a return to perennial practice that has already proved its worth and continues to do so wherever it is followed.

Let’s consider the Orwellian-sounding phrase “the only direction in which we are joyfully called to turn our commitment.” The only direction? In the past seventy years we have seen a pope radically change Holy Week, and only fourteen years later, another pope radically change it again; we have seen a pope who claimed the old rites could never be used, followed by a pope who said bishops should be generous in allowing their use, followed by a pope who said no permission was ever necessary because they had not been abrogated, followed by a pope who said not only is permission necessary, but actually the old rites no longer express the faith of the Church—and, by the way, an episcopal ignoramus from the CDW tells us that they were abrogated after all (see #17 below), yet without being able to point to a single instrument by which such a momentous act was attempted or achieved.  https://onepeterfive.com/thirty-three-falsehoods-responsa/

 A word about Peter Kwasniewski PhD: 

Dr. Peter Kwasniewski is a graduate of Thomas Aquinas College and The Catholic University of America who taught at the International Theological Institute in Austria, the Franciscan University of Steubenville’s Austria Program, and Wyoming Catholic College, which he helped establish in 2006. Today he is a full-time writer and speaker on traditional Catholicism whose work appears online at, among others, OnePeterFive, New Liturgical Movement, LifeSiteNews, The Remnant, and Catholic Family News. He has published eighteen books, including Reclaiming Our Roman Catholic Birthright: The Genius and Timeliness of the Traditional Latin Mass (Angelico, 2020), The Ecstasy of Love in the Thought of Thomas Aquinas (Emmaus, 2021), and Are Canonizations Infallible? Revisiting a Disputed Question (Arouca, 2021). His work has been translated into at least eighteen languages. Visit his website at www.peterkwasniewski.com.

 

Archbishop Viganò (ex-papal US nuncio and whistle-blower extraordinaire) would seem very much on net with Dr Kwasniewski. Viganò appeals to Catholics world-wide basically to obey God rather than man (Acts 5:29). In an interview with Steve Bannon (July 1) +Viganò states that:

Respect for authority is connatural to civilized man, but it is necessary to distinguish between obedience and servility. You see, every virtue consists of the just mean between two opposite vices, without being a compromise, but also as the peak between two valleys, so to speak. Disobedience sins by falling short, not wanting to submit to a good order of a legitimate authority; servility on the other hand sins by excess, submitting to unfair orders or orders given by an illegitimate authority. The good citizen should know how to disobey civil authority, and the good Catholic how to do the same with ecclesiastical authority, disobeying whenever the authority demands obedience to an iniquitous order.

Steve Bannon: Doesn’t such talk seem to be a bit revolutionary, Your Excellency?

+Vigano:Far from it. The anarchists and courtiers both have a distorted concept of authority: the former deny it while the latter idolize it. The just mean is the only morally viable way, because it responds to the order that the Lord has imprinted on the world and that respects the celestial hierarchy. We owe obedience to legitimate authority in the measure in which its power is exercised for the purposes for which authority has been established by God: the temporal good of citizens in the case of the State and the spiritual good of the faithful in the case of the Church. An authority that imposes evil on its subjects

... for example, a demand that its subjects submit - as 'an act of love' - to an unnecessary, immoral and highly hazardous injection ... 

is for that very reason illegitimate and its orders are null.

Let’s not forget that the true Lord from whom all authority comes is God, and that the earthly authority – civil as well as spiritual – is always vicarious, that is, it is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ, King and High Priest. Setting up the vicarious authority of rulers in the place of the royal authority of the Lord is a mad gesture and – yes – revolutionary and rebellious. https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/interview-with-archbishop-carlo-maria?

CONCERNED CATHOLICS NOT WELCOME AT SYNOD

 To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB or Messenger. 

Venue for the National Synod: St Catherine's, Kilbirnie, Wellington

"The National Synodal meeting in Wellington on 2 July 2022 was attended by two Catholics who had not been invited."

(A guest post, from a reader of this blog, provides another view of the National Synod reported in N.O. BISHOPS SIT WITH SODOMY AT ST CATHERINE'S (July 3) ).

"The meeting was attended by the bishops and about 80 invited Catholics mostly flown in, from all over New Zealand, in order to pull together all diocesan synod submissions and produce the final document for NZ to send to Rome, where all national submissions globally will be combined. 

A request was made to the bishops before the meeting to allow for at least one independent observer. The request was declined but two readers of this blog decided they should be there anyway.  They were asked to leave and after Cardinal John Dew’s keynote speech they complied. 

They took these actions because of their grave concerns about the conduct of the synod, and its potential future impact on the Church of Christ. They did not enjoy the friction created by their presence and prayed that they were there for good and right reasons. The friction should not be blamed on individuals (although many are behaving badly) so much as on radical decisions which have been taken by the Church without proper transparency and explanation. 

Their motivations were:

1. The NZ diocesan synod documents already published seemed to advocate radical change within the Church. It seemed the synod outcomes would be used to justify massive changes in the Church, and/or the massive changes already made in recent years which are heading towards a radical 'new church'.
2. All this change seemed to be happening without the theological or doctrinal backing or previous methods of Church development. Dioceses seemed increasingly free to create their own rules and doctrine.
3. The analysis and compilation methods used for the synod were not rigorous and were far too liable to capture by factional interest groups. 
4. Only a small proportion of Catholics nationally have contributed to the synod, and those who did contribute seem to be dominated by elderly Europeans, especially females. New ethnic groups are rapidly filling our pews, but their synodal contributions seem to be minimal.  Is the synodal output representative? 
5. Massive tensions within the Church have been created by changes made or proposed, but these have not been transparently discussed or acknowledged, especially in Church-controlled publications.
6. It seemed to the observers, as concerned Catholics, that different factions are fighting for control of the Church. Some factions seem to have privileged positions inside the synodal process.
7. Years of Catholic 'leadership' expressing alternative, perverted or weak teaching have conditioned many Catholic laity to accept the radical 'new church' that now seems proposed. Many of the laity have already accepted highly diluted Catholic ‘values’ or are drawing their values from secular society ("the world") to fill the vacuum created in and by the Church. For many, the synod has been an echo chamber for reflecting their questionably Catholic ‘values’ back onto the Church.  Nevertheless, it is hard to believe that a significant proportion of parishioners are in favour of the radical changes that seem to be enunciated in the synod output documents seen so far.

8. It seemed that in this synodal process many regarded the Catholic Church as belonging to them and that they were free to change her as they see fit. They seemed not to understand that the Church is Jesus Christ, and His teachings must still apply.

Combined with the factors above, the following issues contributed to loss of confidence in the synodal process, to the extent that they felt compelled to act.

Two major recent synod collation meetings were deliberately done behind closed doors. The meeting in Palmerston North cathedral was by invite only; uninvited parishioners were sent away. No evidence could be found of the event being advertised, even in parish newsletters. The National Synod meeting was similarly declared ‘invite only’, and a written request to all bishops to allow observers, or for a webcast, was declined.

On Saturday the observers simply walked into the synod venue unchallenged.

The attendees were overwhelmingly European, showing lack of diversity in a Church with a large and growing membership of other ethnicities. The two observers estimated the transport and catering costs to be in the order of $40,000.

A woman asked them to leave. The observers said they would comply if asked by a bishop (there were several present) but this spokesperson seemed to believe that as a 'woman of the Church' she had the necessary authority, as if as one of this new category of 'women of the Church' she was equivalent to a bishop. The observers had noticed that recently priests seemed afraid to exercise their ordained authority and instead rely on “women of the Church” to take control in difficult situations.

They undertook not to be disruptive (they consider the synod itself as potentially disruptive to the Church) and said they would leave after the keynote address.

The synod introduction was run by several women, except for a lengthy preamble from a male, in Te Reo, and the keynote address by Cardinal Dew. The introduction seemed to lack spiritual, doctrinal, and theological depth.

They were shocked to see, in the conference room, a notice board displaying 'gay' propaganda, featuring an icon of the Madonna and Christ Child (the Black Madonna of Czestochowa), both wearing rainbow halos. It is unbelievable that a Catholic school could display such material and leave it visible at the synod meeting. The Catholic competence of management of both organisations - the Church and St Catherine's - must be questioned."

 

St Catherine of Siena, please pray for the Church

NZ BISHOPS SIT WITH SODOMY AT NATIONAL SYNOD

On the Feast of the Visitation 2022, at the National Synod in Wellington, the Novus Ordo Church in New Zealand was exposed as a whited sepulchre. 

Cardinal John Dew and Bishops Paul Martin and Stephen Lowe, prelates ultimately responsible for Catholic schools and teaching Catholic doctrine, paid lip service to the commandments of God in a venue promoting serious sin - specifically, the sin of sodomy. 

"Pride Month" was illustrated in the venue, a classroom at St Catherine's, Wellington, by a blasphemous image of Our Lady of Czestochowa holding the Christ Child, both adorned with rainbow haloes. "Sexual identity is not a sin", ran the caption. 

Rejection of the gender given you by God is not a sin? Your Excellencies, that's the sin of pride - the first of the seven deadly sins - which throughout June, the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was proudly proclaimed and paraded throughout New Zealand; even, evidently, in Catholic schools.

In a Catholic school at the National Synod with the Cardinal and the Bishops

Let's be very clear: the Synod is simply a tool for transforming the Bride of Christ into a New World Church, run by the Antipope Bergoglio (if God, who is Patience, lets him live that long) on behalf of the Freemasonic New World Order, and implemented by the malcontents - mainly women who want to be priests - who are already de facto running the Church in New Zealand. 

But you can't change Christ or His Church. Pope Francis and his cohort are using the Synod to build a faux church to suit all the world's religions so that eventually they will all blend. They will, as our motorway signs say, "Merge like a Zip"! 

Not only were the cardinal and bishops exposed on Saturday as hypocrites, but by this fortuitous juxtaposition of clerics and their Novus Ordo Church heresy that 'gay' is good, the pope's Synod was revealed as a mockery of Christ - a sop to the spiritually blind laity who are following the hierarchy, at their mortal peril, into mass apostasy.

Of course, it was not "fortuitous". Nothing happens by chance but is directed by God, whose ways are not our ways.  

Two traditional Catholics, having first been deprived of the Tridentine Mass and then refused an invitation to the National Synod, insinuated themselves into this classroom at St Catherine's, into the front row. There they were soon accosted by Julianne Hickey, seemingly designated as bouncer by the cardinal and assembled bishops. 

Ms Hickey was until recently the face of Caritas, the NZ Bishops' aid agency to which every NO Massgoer has donated their Lenten offering for years and which proudly declares itself 'part of Caritas Internationalis'. https://www.caritas.org.nz/who-we-are 

The Communist flag at Caritas' associate World Social Forum (WSF)  

Caritas Internationalis is a Vatican agency serving on the governing body of a Communist organization (WSF) engaged in pagan worship and witchcraft, which celebrates decriminalization of abortion all over the world while actively fighting against the Catholic Church’s stand against grave evil. 

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-agency-directly-tied-to-communism-abortion-witchcraft/

But we digress (intentionally). Julianne Hickey was one of the 'power women' in charge at the National Synod which hosted 80 NO Catholics, flown into Wellington from all around the country at the Church's expense.  

One of the 'Trad' infiltrators told Ms Hickey, when she asked them to leave, that they would go if asked by a priest or bishop. 

"I am a woman of the Church!" declared Ms Hickey. As such, her status, she implied, was at least equal to any priest's or bishop's.

"I'm a woman of the Church too," responded the second infiltrator. The two stayed put, in the front row, until they'd heard the 'keynote speech' by +Dew which Hickey had denied was on the agenda. They took their leave during a longwinded prayer to Te Wairua Tapu (the Holy Spirit) - in Te Reo (Maori) presumably for the benefit of the only Maori evident at the gathering - but not before the trad 'woman of the Church' had taken a closer look at a frilly paper ball hanging in full view of the delegates, but around a corner and out sight of the cardinal and bishops. Yes, it was a 'Rainbow' ball, hanging on a noticeboard entirely devoted to 'Pride' propaganda.

Perhaps such heresy is required reading at all Catholic schools subsidised by New Zealand's atheistic government. But if so, surely the NZ Conference of Bishops, ordained as they are to teach the deposit of Faith, would have resisted and renounced it. And if not, why not?

The Catholic Church teaches that sexual expression is between only one man and one woman, in the covenant of Holy Matrimony. Christ commands us to have compassion and love our neighbour in every circumstance, however confused or objectively sinful they may appear to be, but we must boldly and clearly hold up the Christian ideal of chastity. Chastity is asked by Christ of everyone, married or single, priest or religious. 

• Sodomy is one of the four mortal sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance  and if not repented results in eternity in hell 
• Mortal sin kills the life of God in the soul. 
• Sin is not something made up by the Church which can be changed, not even by a pope 
• Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience
• Sin is a failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods
• Sin has been defined [by St Augustine] as "an utterance, a deed, or a desire contrary to the eternal law."

'Pride' blinds us to our sin. But do Novus Ordo-ites even know what sin is, any more? One of the NO faithful, when informed of Pride propaganda at a Catholic secondary school, seemed to find it mildly amusing, quite likely because he doesn't believe in sin or hell, because in the Novus Ordo Church you never hear about either. 

They forget - if they ever knew - that only those Catholics who live according to the precepts of the Church, and believe every precept of the Church, will be saved. 

The "Catechism of the Catholic Church" promulgated by Pope John Paul II considers sexual activity between members of the same sex to be a mortal sin against chastity.^[1][2] This teaching has developed through a number of ecumenical councils and the influence of theologians, including the Church Fathers. The Catholic Church opposes the acceptance of homosexuality within Christian society.

However, the NZ Bishops in their wisdom have cancelled the catechism and replaced it with something called "Virtues and Values". A fat lot of good that will do Catholic youth in avoiding hell and attaining heaven. 

"One who lives practicing the vice of sodomy will suffer more pain in Hell than anyone else, because this the worst sin that exists" - St Bernardine of Siena..

With fear and trembling work out your salvation (Phil 2: 12b).

Dom Prosper Guéranger makes it clear that the faithful have the duty to resist unorthodox doctrine. They should frontally oppose those "teachers of the doctrines of Hell," even if they are high Prelates of the Church.

When the shepherd becomes a wolf, the first duty of the flock is to defend itself. It is usual and regular, no doubt, for doctrine to descend from the Bishops to the faithful, and those who are subject in the Faith are not to judge their superiors. But, in the treasure of Revelation there are essential doctrines which all Catholics, by the very fact of their title as such, are bound to know and defend. The principle is the same whether it be a question of belief or conduct, dogma or morals.

Some pastors keep silence for one reason or another in circumstances when Religion itself is at stake. The true children of Holy Church at such times are those who walk by the light of their Baptism, not the cowardly souls who, under the specious pretext of submission to the powers that be, delay their opposition to the enemy.

How can a Catholic know when something is wrong? He needs only to check with the prior teaching of the Church. He can refer to the previous magisterium and verify if there is a long succession of papal teachings affirming the same thing. If there is not, or there is some difference in teaching, the new teaching of that pope is wrong. 

Can a pope commit an error in doctrinal matters? Yes, he can. This implicit in the very notion of infallibility. When Popes do not invoke the privilege of infallibility, they can err. Infallibility means the impossibility to fail, to err, to fall. If the Pope himself states that a document is not infallible, it is because it is fallible. So, he can commit errors.

It is very simple. This is not to say that each Catholic should take it upon himself to judge the Pope. I am not encouraging that. What I am saying is that if there is a clear and continuous teaching of the previous popes saying the opposite of the teaching of the new pope, the latter ipso facto (automatically) has been judged by that previous teaching. The Catholic faithful is only acknowledging the error.

But what about the Cardinal's keynote speech at the New Zealand National Synod, you may ask. What about it, indeed. Very little needs to be said. It was about 'listening'. To 'each other', mainly. It was an exercise in putting the second commandment before the first. The cart before the horse. +Dew talked a lot about 'the Spirit' but 'the Spirit' (Who from memory was not called "Holy") was to be 'Listened to' in 'each other'. 

He quoted Scripture: "You are my friends if you do what I command you" (Jn 15:4). But a couple of metres away from the cardinal was evidence in plain sight that a Catholic school - which like all Catholic schools is under governance by the NZ Conference of Bishops, headed by +Dew - is thumbing its nose at what Christ commands us. Is St Catherine's the only Catholic school in the country celebrating degrading sexual impurity and subverting its students to Satan? Maybe this is a lone lesbian teacher's initiative, but we doubt it. 

This is the Novus Ordo effect, and the Synod symbolises this rotten fruit by insinuating that there's something seriously wrong with the deposit of Faith handed down to us from Christ Himself, through His apostles.

YOU CAN'T. CHANGE. CHRIST. OR HIS CHURCH. 

Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you are like to whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear to men beautiful, but within are full of dead men's bones, and of all filthiness. So you also outwardly indeed appear to men just; but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity (Mt 23: 27)
