'FAITHFUL CATHOLICS SHOULD CORRECT BISHOPS'

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


The enemies of 'Pope Francis' and Cardinal John Dew look like this



"Faithful Catholics," says US Cardinal Raymond Burke, "should work from within the Church for a much-needed ecclesiastical reform, even should it require openly correcting bishops when they betray the faith."

So here goes. Once more unto the breach, dear friends! In placing their imprimatur as it were, on the national Synodal Synthesis, New Zealand's bishops betray the faith, betray Christ and betray His Church. For its parade of the heresy of Modernism, our SS is up there with Germany's Synodal Weg. 

Simply put, it's for Catholics who don't want to be Catholic any more. They don't have to pin their theses to the door of a cathedral like Martin Luther - not when they have bishops like ours who are willing to do their dirty work for them, and an Antipope like Jorge Bergoglio who isn't a Catholic any more, lurking spider-like in the middle of his evil web to seize on their souls and press them into the service of Satan.

Perhaps it's only to be expected, on a traditional, faithful Catholic blog, that a piece describing this blueprint for the global elites' New World Church (which has all the charm of a supermarket) as 'Slow Burn Schism' (Sep 2) should pass with barely a remark. 

Most faithful, Latin Mass Catholics are far too concerned, in this La-la Land Down Under - specially those languishing like lepers in Cardinal John Dew's spiritual desert, the Archdiocese of Wellington - with attaining personal holiness, with saving their souls and their children's, to pay any attention to the synodal charade which exists only to rubber-stamp the Great Reset's agenda for take-over of the One, Holy, Catholic  Church. 

The so-called Catholics whose demand for female priests, LGBTQ blessings and 'inclusion', Communion for adulterous couples and for laity to call the shots - especially in  choosing bishops - has gone to the Vatican purporting to represent the NZ laity, have utterly disqualifed themselves from any such role. In calling for such fundamental changes to the Magisterium they have in effect excommunicated themselves, and the idiocy of their position is only magnified to the ultimate by the fact that their shopping list will be solemnly received in Rome by a non-Catholic 'pope' and hierarchy who have themselves long since deserted the Barque of Peter.

The sinfulness of this Silly Synodal Synthesis was predetermined, anyway, by the global elite whose useful pawn Jorge Bergoglio is, by means of a corruption of the Delphi technique in which participants are guided towards a consensus. In the Synod however, the 'consensus' was already decided and easily reached by targeting the lower common denominator, IQ-wise. You have only to glance at the primary colours, the stick figures and pre-school layout of the Synod bumf to realise that no one reasonably educated AT ALL, let alone educated in the Catholic Faith, would want to waste time on such an enterprise.


See what we mean?



Conservative Catholics especially, educated as they are by the Traditional Latin Mass and the sermons - as opposed to the homilies of the Novus Ordo are repelled by such imagery - as the Synod's crafty architects knew they would be.

So things have reached such a point that the conservative Cardinal Raymond Burke ( Cdl. Burke: Faithful Catholics Must Remain In The Church, Hold Bishops Accountable (complicitclergy.com) )is flushed out of his cover into openly encouraging faithful Catholics to OPPOSE their faithless bishops, ripping the masks off their faces and so also literally, one hopes, off the Synodal sympathisers in the pews busily breathing in their own germs. (A reader of this blog, recently returned from time with his family in Australia, reports that the only place he saw any masked muppets was at Mass.) 

There is a glimmer of hope however, on the horizon, a glimpse of the eventual triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.

A group of young Belgian Catholics have written an open letter to the Apostolic Nuncio protesting the national synthesis of the synodal process in Belgium, saying it goes too far in questioning the “magisterium of the Church”.

More than 200 young traditional-minded Belgians (aged 15-42) signed the letter saying certain issues, such as the ordination of women, go way too far and are against Church teaching.“Calls are coming from all sides to open ordained ministry to women and married people.” 

'Traditional-minded' is as close as the 'progressive' publication Cathnews would come, one suspects, to admitting that these young Belgians with such love for Holy Mother Church are Traditional Latin Massgoers. 

The document’s drafters say that it reflects the views of 2,000 to 4,000 people who participated in the synodal consultations.

However, the young Belgian Catholics argue there is “a discrepancy between some of the demands made in the synthesis and the reality” they are living.

 Naturally. That age group is far too young to be ready to enter second chiludasdhood. Young Belgian Catholics contest synodal survey - CathNews NZ Pacific

Yes, the young Belgians would be representative of young Traditional Latin Massgoers throughout the world, and a premonition of the eventual Resurrection of the Church once Bergoglio and his pack of Judases have completed her Crucifixion.

And that's exactly why Antipope Francis and Cardinal John Dew et al have cancelled the Latin Mass.





Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death

NZ GONE SINISTER - AS IN, HARD LEFT

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


Would anyone now want to buy her, even remaindered?



'New Zealand Turns Sinister' is Dr Muriel Newman's title for her commentary on the machinations of New Zealand's very own, dumbed-down, version of the 16th century Italian politician Machiavelli.

Not every reader will realise Newman's pun. 'Sinister' derives from the Latin 'sinistra', meaning 'on the left side'. We reckon New Zealand went sinister - in its modern sense of ominous - the night Ardern got herself elected.

Not every reader has time, either, to read Newman in the original so it's redacted here with her most salient points in bold, for you to skim through in a jiffy. You'll enjoy the pix. The link to the full piece comes at the end.


On 11 October 2021, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern explained, “Today, I will update you on… decisions made by Cabinet to strengthen our Covid response through the use of mandatory vaccination for large parts of the education and health workforce, in order to protect vulnerable New Zealanders…”

This announcement made a lie of her pre-election promise, that under her watch vaccination would not become compulsory.

Mandates were introduced through the Covid-19 Response (Vaccinations) Legislation Bill, passed under urgency on 23 November 2021. Not only was no Regulatory Impact Analysis carried out on the Bill, but the Ministry of Health’s disclosure statement reveals that no assessment was made on “the potential for any group of persons to suffer a substantial unavoidable loss of income or wealth” as a result of the law change.

The Attorney General’s review on the Bill's consistency with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act found that while there were breaches, they were in the “public interest” and were therefore considered “reasonably justified”. 

The Prime Minister gave the impression that mandates were needed to prevent the spread of Covid-19. That was not the case. Section 11AA clarified the mandates were being introduced to maintain ‘trust in the public service’ and ‘ensure the continuity of public services’.

Mandates forced people into taking a vaccine they did not want. They led to employees losing their jobs and homes. They divided society into the vaccinated and unvaccinated. It was ugly politics.

It was unjust, amoral politics. As well as ugly.

With tensions rising and the Canadian truckers’ protest, when a call went out in early February to support a ‘freedom convoy’ to Parliament, there was an enthusiastic response.

At 6.30 in the morning on Sunday 6 February 2022 two groups gathered for the journey to the capital – one at Cape Reinga in the north and the other at Bluff in the south.  By the time they arrived in Wellington on Tuesday February 8, numbers had swelled into the thousands. But as they gathered at Parliament to deliver their message to the Prime Minister to end the mandates, no one would meet them. So they stayed – and the ‘Freedom Village’ was born.

At its height, some 12,000 people are said to have supported the protest, including Sir Russell Coutts, Dame Tariana Turia, and former Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters.

On February 25, Justice Cooke released his High Court ruling that the mandates imposed on the Police and the Armed Forces were unlawful. He found they not only breached the Bill of Rights, including section 11 – that “everyone has the right to refuse to undergo any medical treatment” – but their purpose was “to ensure the continuity of the public services, and to promote public confidence in those services, rather than to stop the spread of Covid-19.” 

Justice Cooke revealed the Ministry of Health had opposed the mandates: “Indeed health advice provided to the government was that further mandates were not required to restrict the spread of Covid-19… Covid-19 clearly involves a threat to the continuity of police and NZDF services. But that threat exists for both vaccinated and unvaccinated staff. I am not satisfied that the order makes a material difference.”

The Judge’s exposé affirmed that Ardern’s mandates were not only illegal but were coercing New Zealanders into complying with her vaccine strategy. The PM should have authorised a team to meet with the protest leaders.

Instead, Jacinda Ardern took to her high horse, maligning and discrediting the protesters at every opportunity. Her actions again revealing the caring image, she is so keen to project, is just a façade.

Furthermore, by refusing to condemn her Transport Minister for calling the protesters a “river of filth”, or the Speaker for describing them as “the biggest collection of ferals that I’ve seen”, Jacinda Ardern had clearly learned nothing from the 2016 US Presidential Primary, when Hillary Clinton alienated voters with her conceited description of grassroot Americans as “deplorables”.

Fuelled by the arrogant and abusive comments from politicians, support for Parliament’s freedom protest continued to grow. A Horizon poll published on February 18 showed it rising to 30 percent.

Over a million New Zealanders supported the protest. Claims by the political elite that only radicals were involved, were exposed as lies.

In fact, a survey released by The Platform on February 21 revealed that 55 percent of the protesters were women, 45 percent had voted for a Labour-Green Government in the 2020 election, and 27 percent were Maori.

 


When the Police finally descended on the protest in riot gear on March 2, they had, in their arsenal, shields, batons, tear gas, water hoses, fire extinguishers, and sponge bullets – along with a newly authorised and more powerful pepper spray, and two highly controversial and dangerous sound canons, which have been banned in other jurisdictions.

Former journalist Mike Butler described it: “There was no violent disturbance by the crowd of protesters before the police descended in riot gear. The Police brought the riot. I’ve seen footage of protesters with their backs to police as they were being pushed out of the area. It was only later, after hours of harassment, that a bonfire was lit and pavers were thrown.”

It turned out that masked radicals, who had arrived that morning, created much of the mayhem. No one knew where they came from. The Prime Minister, however, seized on their actions to vilify all of the protesters and dismiss their concerns.

Ardern has doubled down, publicly denigrating anyone associated with the protest and labelling any critical assessment of her vaccine strategy as conspiracy theory.

The smearing is now being escalated to new heights – as this week’s NZCPR Guest Commentator, freelance journalist Graham Adams, explains:

“If you’ve ever wondered what a documentary made by a conspiracy theorist about conspiracy theorists would look like, Paula Penfold’s hour-long Fire and Fury [HERE] pretty much fits the bill. In a textbook example of a conspiracy theorist at work, senior Stuff journalist Paula Penfold promotes the idea that the anti-mandate protests at Parliament and suspicion toward Covid vaccines generally were being driven and harnessed by a small group of conspirators… They are also depicted collectively as a serious threat to democracy.


 


“To make her case, Penfold avoided examining the screamingly obvious reasons why so many people have subscribed to what she sees as fringe beliefs about vaccines as well as the deep dishonesty of the government.

Perhaps if Penfold had shown the clip of Ardern telling voters in September 2020 — shortly before the election — that there would be no penalty for refusing a vaccine, alongside her infamous interview in which she grinned as she agreed that she intended to create two classes of citizens, the vaxxed and the unvaxxed, the whole protest might have been put into better perspective.

“And, of course, Ardern also promised: ‘People who are vaccinated will still get Covid-19 — it just means that they won’t get sick and they won’t die.’ It’s not a statement that has aged well, given the numbers of the vaccinated who have ended up in hospital and the morgue.”

Another LIE. 



To add to the general outrage, Graham also points out that Stuff’s propaganda was funded by the $55 million Public Interest Journalism Fund, costing upwards of $200,000 in taxpayers’ money.

Meanwhile, the other side of the story, depicting what really happened at the protest, has been released by independent filmmakers – without taxpayer funding! Called River of Freedom, [HERE] tells the story of the convoy and the protest through the eyes of those involved.

Let’s be unequivocal about Stuff’s Fire and Fury. It’s a one-sided, biased depiction, designed, it appears, to poison the public against anyone associated with the protest.

It coincides with a more sinister campaign that also appears to be headed by Stuff – to track down and destroy the reputation of anyone even remotely associated with the protest, who might be standing for public office.

With local body elections underway, journalists are now hounding candidates and interrogating them about their connections with groups associated with the protest. Their aim is to discredit them. Their campaign has all the hallmarks of a Middle Ages witch-hunt.

Stuff may think it’s acceptable to harass and bully members of the public but it certainly is not acceptable in the UK, where newspaper editors are expected to adhere to an ‘Editor’s Code of Practice’, which protects the public against aggressive and intimidating journalists.

The Editor’s Code has been strengthened over the years – especially following the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales.  A young television presenter's suicide after relentless hounding by the media has again raised public awareness of the enormous power imbalance and danger associated with media bullying. 

In the UK, any member of the public who feels they are harassed and bullied by journalists can lodge a complaint with the Independent Press Standards Organisation. IPSO's Editor’s Code includes the requirement that “Journalists must not engage in intimidation, harassment or persistent pursuit”. If a complaint is received, the IPSO has the power to investigate and impose fines on publishers of up to £1 million. They not only operate a 24-hour anti-harassment helpline for anyone being victimised by journalists, but also a whistleblowing hotline for journalists “who feel they are being pressured to act in a way that is not in line with the Editors’ Code.”

The IPSO provides advice for handling unwanted approaches by journalists. The ‘victim’ should ask for the journalist’s name and the publication they work for. They should clearly state they do not wish to speak to the journalist nor be photographed – and ask them to stop. If they are at home, they should pin a note to the door saying they do not wish to speak to journalists, nor be disturbed. If they are being telephoned repeatedly, they should change their answerphone message to say that only personal callers should leave a message as they do not wish to speak to media. And if they feel physically threatened or in immediate danger, they should call the police.

If a newspaper or magazine makes contact saying they intend publishing a story which the ‘victim’ believes may breach the Editors’ Code they should contact the IPSO.

The closest organisation to the IPSO in New Zealand is the New Zealand Media Council. Their code of practice and principles do not specifically address bullying or harassment of the public by journalists.

Most professional bodies operate some form of disciplinary procedure. Shouldn’t there also be a process by which errant journalists can be held to account for their writing? 

It’s time the Media Council acknowledged the problem. It's in everyone’s interests that all players in the media act in a professional manner, in the hope that the industry can rebuild and restore public trust.

Oh dear. It's not in Jacinda Ardern's interests, is it? So with the stranglehold she's got on this country - which we asked for - that's not likely to happen, is it? Not without prayer - intense prayer.

But tragically, another despot, also like Ardern working for the installation of the Great Reset, has effectively cancelled the world's summit and source of prayer, the Sacrifice of the Mass in the Tridentine, Latin Rite.

In one fell swoop, Antipope Bergoglio's Traditionis Custodes, eagerly implemented in their archdioceses by hitmen like Washington DC's Cardinal Wilton Gregory and Wellington NZ's Cardinal John Dew, have stolen the Eucharist. Satan must be truly satisfied.

Sinister, indeed.

SHIA LABEOUF CONVERTED BY THE LATIN MASS

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


Shia LaBeouf - the Latin Mass doesn't feel like they want to sell me a car



"We got it all wrong! We were wrong!"

In this morning's homily Father was warming to his theme (a favorite) of historical mistakes. Mostly they're mistakes made by the Church but today it was society's turn, for trying to exterminate New Zealand's native Maori language.

If that was wrong, Father, then how can it be right for 'Pope Francis' and his henchman Cardinal John Dew to try to exterminate the Church's native language of Latin? The Church, our Mother, is beloved by her children and just to hear Her criticised is painful. How much more painful then, to be forbidden to speak our mother tongue of Latin, and worse, to be exiled from Her marae, so to speak - our Traditional Latin Mass communities?

To get the nasty taste of that homily out of our mouth and to learn something from today's Gospel which, as is often the case, merited only a fleeting mention - if that, we'll wheel out that popular US blogger, 'Fr Z'. 

Because Fr John Zuhlsdorf points out the analogy between these leper outcasts and the Traditional Latin Massgoers of today who in the wake of Antipope Bergoglio's Traditionis Custodes are at the mercy of their bishops who if they happen to be modernists (heretics) have consigned their faithful TLM flock to the Novus Ordo wilderness, where by the grace of God they might be given a little spiritual food.

Or if they are brave enough, some real meat and drink in the sermons delivered at the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) at St Anthony's Whanganui and their outposts in Tawa, Wellington, and an undisclosed location near Napier.13th Sunday after Pentecost: “Unclean! Unclean” - OnePeterFive

The onset of Hansen’s Disease comes with patches of skin that change color and become numb. If left untreated, it can result in paralysis, the reabsorption into the body of the extremities, ulcerations, blindness, disfiguration. It is not highly contagious, but it can spread through contact or breathing in airborne droplets from coughs. Most people have a natural immunity and only about 5% of people are at risk to get it. People didn’t know that in the 1st century AD. It is treated, and can be cured, with multiple antibiotics over time. But people in Jesus’ day didn’t have those things. They didn’t know it came from a microscopic nerve-attacking organism Mycobacterium leprae. All they knew was that the disfiguring and necrotic progress of Leprosy was terrifying. It was associated with sin and ritual uncleanness.

In the Old Testament, Hebrew tsara’ath, usually translated as “leprosy,” can be a variety of things, skin diseases certainly, but also even mildew on the wall, mold on something.In Leviticus 13 we have the Law given by God to Moses about how the priests should diagnose leprosy (or whatever other skin disorder it might be) and in Lev 14 how to reconcile and ritually cleanse someone who recovered from a skin disorder (which also suggests that “leprosy” meant more than Hansen’s Disease).

What if, in the time of Jesus, you got leprosy?

The Law in Leviticus 13:45-46 required that people with this defilement must wear torn clothing, live outside the camp, leave their hair unkept, cover the lower part of their face and cry out “Unclean! Unclean.” So, there is an outward display corresponding to the disorder.

This treatment hasn’t yet made its way into documents suppressing the Vetus Ordo. After all, it is written right there in a black on white that the repressive actions against the faithful who desire Traditional are not intended to marginalize anyone. Give them just a little more time.Lepers were decidedly unpopular in ancient times. They were forced to live apart, and usually in groups or colonies. That doesn’t mean that they were absolutely ostracized. Remember that “leprosy” meant more than just Hansen’s Disease. People recover from contact dermatitis or shingles. Their loved ones took care of them. In the tiny modern town of Burquin in the area between ancient Samaria and Galilee there is an early church dedicated to St. George, nicknamed the Church of the Ten Lepers. Nearby is an underground well and a kind of cave where it is thought lepers would sojourn. There were found holes in the ceiling of the enclosure through which it is thought food was dropped to the poor souls within.

For this 13th Sunday after Pentecost we have the encounter between Our Lord and Ten Lepers from Luke 17. Not only are these ritually outcast, one of them is a Samaritan. A leprous Samaritan. You couldn’t get much more pathetic than that in 1st century Jewish eyes. Sort of like, today, a Catholic who wants not only the Vetus Ordo, but the pre-1955 rites.

Last week, from Luke 10, the Good Samaritan appeared in a parable. This week, from Luke 17, a flesh and blood Samaritan shows up. You will recall that the Samaritans and the Jews were not on friendly terms, to say the least. They were quite hostile. The Samaritans were the ethnically intermingled remnants of the Ten Tribes scattered by the Assyrians and then blended with imported Gentiles. They had their own worship on Mount Gerazim and recognized only the first five Books of Moses, the Torah. They were, in the eyes of the Jews of Judea in the south, religiously and ethnically unclean.

Our geographical context for the Gospel, comes from the Gospel itself, as does where Jesus is going.

At that time, on the way to Jerusalem Jesus was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance and lifted up their voices and said, ‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.’ When he saw them he said to them, ‘Go and show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went they were cleansed. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. Then said Jesus, ‘Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?  Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?’ And he said to him, ‘Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.’In the Gospel, you see the elements from Leviticus. Remember that the Lord came to fulfill the Law. After He healed the lepers, He sent them to the priests for examination according to the Law.

Only one of the lepers returns. The lowly Samaritan, this “foreigner,” as the Lord calls him, recognized what superseded the Law in Leviticus and returned to Life Himself. “Foreigner,” Greek allogenes. This word appears once in the New Testament. In making His pronouncement over the allogenes we see Christ’s mission as not to the Jews merely, but to all peoples. A Samaritan is like “all peoples” because of their history.

By the way, there was discovered a complete stone inscription, the “Soreg Inscription,” in Greek and Latin from the Second Temple in Jerusalem, which would have been on the balustrade outside the Sanctuary.

Let no foreigner [ΑΛΛΟΓΕΝΗΕΙΣ] enter within the parapet and the partition which surrounds the Temple precincts. Anyone caught [violating] will be held accountable for his ensuing death.

This was a warning to pagans, non-Jews, not to pass into the sanctuary on pain of death. The text is almost word for word what the 1st c. Jewish historian Josephus described. It is usually a good idea to trust our ancient sources.As we consider this physical remnant from the Second Temple, which Jesus would have gazed at, knowing Himself and His mission, remember how furious He was on that first Palm Sunday to find that the money changes and sacrifice vendors had taken over the Temple’s Courtyard of the Gentiles, where those who were denied entrance to the Sanctuary could still pray to the One True God. One can hardly imagine that St. Luke the Evangelist didn’t have this inscription, and perhaps this miracle which only he recounts, in mind. The arrival of Gentiles who wanted to speak to Jesus was a sign that His Passion was about to begin (John 12:20-22).

One could go into the theological depths of this pericope from Luke 17. For example, a symbolic level, we might look at the Ten Lepers as representing the sins against the Ten Commandments.

However, there is something in the recent news with which we might engage.

The Samaritan, former leper, returned to Jesus. He “fell on his face at Jesus’ feet giving thanks (‘euchariston’ v. 16).” The presence of a form of the word that gives us Eucharist should make us linger.The ten lepers engaged with Jesus from afar from the desire to be cleansed. It was useful for them to have an encounter with the famous healer. When Christ told them to go the priests, they knew – and none better – what the procedure was and they went without looking back. Except for the “foreigner,” a Samaritan.

At first, the Samaritan also went to Jesus, though far off, for a useful healing. After his healing, he went back to Jesus, all the way up to Jesus, not because it was useful to do so, it was right to do so. He went simply to “give Him thanks,” and to do so in the posture one takes before divinity. Face down to the dust whence we come.

Another point that we pick up is Christ’s words to the Samaritan: “Rise and go your way” (v. 19). Breaking it into its elements, this account starts to take on a quasi-liturgical quality to it.

In the grouping of the Ten Lepers, there was an assembly for that moment when Christ was to draw near. There is a cry for “mercy.” Christ cites Scripture. He works a divine wonder. The Samaritan draws close, to His very feet, lowly in thanksgiving. Christ sends him forth. Sound familiar?

I have in mind the recent interview of Bishop Robert Barron with actor Shia LaBeouf. This young man, who wound up in serious personal quicksand, estranged from parents, marginalized by agents and directors, a sort of leper in his field, found his way to the Catholic Faith. At first, he was interested in a prospective acting job that could get him working again, a movie about St. “Padre” Pio. It was useful for him to draw close to Catholic things. Eventually he finds self-described healing in Mass in the Vetus Ordo ("literally Old Order" the Latin Mass), which was the only form of Mass St. Pio ever celebrated. In his encounters with Mass and men of faith, and the Catholic “thing,” he is Catholic. He is present to it in its beauty, in its healing touch.

LaBoeuf plays Padre Pio in the movie which converted him to Catholicismhttps://finance.yahoo.com/finance/news/mel-gibson-introduced-close-friend-213349148.html




Holy Mass, particularly as celebrated – these days in particular – with the Vetus Ordo, more clearly manifests the fact it is not focused on man. It is focused on God. Certainly, we participate at Holy Mass because we desire that transforming touch in our encounter with divine mystery. But it is not the usefulness of Mass as being transformational that is primary. It is the religious rightness of being there, in awe-filled gratitude, for the sake of God. Of course, the one does not exclude the other, such is the magnificent love of our God. Paradoxically, the more we allow Mass to be less about ourselves, then the more it affects us. Our “active participation” in Holy Mass is rooted in our active receptivity, our outpouring of self that opens for the inpouring of what God wants to give.

Finally, you will likely admit that learning you have Hansen’s Disease would be disagreeable. How much more disagreeable should it be to find that you are in the state of mortal sin? In the first case, the cure might take a couple of years. In the second, it takes but a few minutes, if only you seek that cure. You should “Go and show yourselves to the priests.”

Go to confession.

NORMALISING SUDDEN DEATH SYNDROME

Australian cricket star Shane Warne - said to have died of 'natural causes' 



We need to tread very carefully here. We are on sacred ground.  Sacred, that is, to Big Pharma and the global 'elite' - the likes of Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab and their very unpleasant ilk.

And therefore sacred also to Facebook, which protects the aforementioned's interests. The inside of FB jail is very familiar to this blog and we're keen not to go there again.

So it's not coyness which supplies the asterisks in this story from Lifesitenews, it's prudence - or if you prefer, enlightened self-interest.


 A former English soccer star lamented last week that no one is paying attention to the sudden rise in deaths of athletes since the introduction of the ***** shots.

Speaking last Thursday to Mark Steyn for GBNews, former English soccer star Matt Le Tissier stated that the lack of investigation into the sudden increase of deaths of young athletes is a scandal and so is what he calls a normalization of it in the mainstream media.

“I have seen so many people, so many incidents of young, fit, healthy sports people collapsing on the field of play,” Le Tissier told Steyn.

 

Caleb Swanigan, aged 25

And it’s just not normal, and yet the media seems to be normalizing it, and nobody seems to be paying any attention whatsoever to this huge rise that has gone on, and for the authorities in charge of these sports to not notice it or not call an investigation I think is absolutely scandalous.”

“I have been trying and hopefully I’ll get a meeting soon with the powers that be in (soccer) to try and put evidence before them to show them just what is happening, because they don’t seem to want to investigate it themselves, and I think that’s criminal,” Le Tissier concluded.

Last year saw a sudden rise in heart attacks and illnesses in dozens of athletes from multiple sports. Medical experts such as former Pfizer vice president Dr. Michael Yeadon have linked the sudden onset of illness to the v*******. Indeed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognized the correlation between myocarditis, a dangerous inflammation of cardiac tissue, and the mRNA-developed ***** shots in June 2021, declaring a “likely association” between the two.

Le Tissier has previously voiced concern over the role of the shots in the sudden onset of illness in sports.

Last November, after John Fleck, an English soccer player, collapsed at a match, Trevor Sinclair, a former English soccer star and sports pundit, was cut off on a radio broadcast for saying that people were asking if Fleck’s illness could be linked to the j*b. Le Tissier called for an investigation into the role the v******* had in the sudden rise in heart attack and illness at matches on Twitter after Fleck’s collapse.

Le Tissier asked again in December if there was a connection between the ***** shots and the sudden illnesses in athletes after three more athletes suffered illness during matches. Le Tissier was interviewed by Oracle Films in February, discussing the sudden rise of heart attacks and illness in athletics as a possible result of the v*******.

Recent autopsy data from multiple studies demonstrated the link between myocarditis and the C**** j*bs, and a CDC study published in February by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that the risk for myocarditis in male youth was 133 times greater after taking the Pfizer s***.

SYNODAL SYNTHESIS: SLOW-BURN SCHISM

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

 


The Synod was a set-up; we've been had



There, there. We know. You faithful Catholics out there are sick to spiritual death of  Antipope Francis and his Synod. So we won't waste words.

Except to say the Synod is a straw man, the blueprint for the globalists' New World Church. The outcome was predetermined, and you priests and lay people who 'participated' simply rubber-stamped it. 

Bergoglio and his henchmen, like Cardinal John Dew and New Zealand's modernist bishops, have created a non-Catholic Church. They still call it the Catholic Church. But it isn't. It can't be.

Because the Church can't change, because she is founded on Christ Who is Truth, Who is God. God cannot change. Truth is truth. It never changes. But the NZCBC's 'Synodal Synthesis' demands women priests, destruction of the hierarchy and admission of serious sinners to Communion - all of which is utterly opposed to the Gospel, to Church teaching and to Christ Himself.

The Synodal Synthesis is not about God. God doesn't even rate a mention. It's about US. It puts the Second Commandment before the First. 

Ever since Vatican II Catholics have been groomed, by decades of poor catechesis, for the mass apostasy evident in the Synodal Synthesis. It's an example of the Delphi technique, employed here to embed apostasy and heresy in a faux church, and the souls of those who suck it up are in immortal danger, of hellfire.

It's really very simple. Either you believe EVERYTHING that the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church believes and teaches, or you incur excommunication latae sententiae - automatic self-excommunication. Meaning that if you don't repent of your own personal preferences for the Church over Almighty God's perfect design for His indefectible Bride, you'll be consigned to the 'everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels (Mt 25,41))

So if you want female priests, women choosing bishops, adulterers receiving Holy Communion, abolition of the death penalty etc etc, you're no longer a member of the Mystical Body of Christ.

And you'd have plenty of company. Starting at the top, the Bishop of Rome himself, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who gushed over the child-killer Suprema, US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, receiving her with open arms at the Vatican straight after her own Bishop Cordileone publicly admonished her  as a sinner and a scandal, and allowing her to receive the Eucharist refused her at home in California.

Closer to home, Palmerston North Diocese has its own resident heretic (or two). Father Doctor Joe Grayland opines in the latest Cathnews (where would this modernist Marist mag get its copy without the eager effervescences of +Grayland and its eminence tres gris Bishop Emeritus Cullinane?) that there's no need to ask Rome for a better translation of the liturgy because NZ's bishops already have authority to do this deed themselves - the implication being that they have authority to do much else besides. 


“Synodal feedback calls for reworking the current Roman Missal to provide better, more straightforward and accessible liturgical language. Sadly, this request reads as if this change were not already possible,” Grayland writes.

He says that straightforward and accessible liturgical language has been available since Pope Francis published Magnum Principium (The Great Principle).

He says the Pope has already given individual Bishops’ conferences permission to work on and issue modifications to liturgical texts.https://cathnews.co.nz/2022/09/01/roman-missal/


Carry us home to die.  MORE changes to liturgical texts! If the thought of rotting in hell as an unrepentant apostate doesn't worry you, then perhaps the prospect of another depressing, shabby little booklet will prompt you to tootle off to the nearest Traditional Latin Mass.

And if you have the misfortune to live in Cardinal Dew's Land of Mordor, you coul find a 1962 Missal and read that immortal liturgical text during the Novus Ordo.The 1962 Missal takes a great deal longer to read, of course, than it does to get through its flimsy, fabricated modern imitation, but you can catch up during the homily and the Prayers of the Faithful.

And you'll discover what you've been missing all these years.

As for us, we hold to what we believed ten and twenty years ago; to what our forefathers believed one hundred years ago, and one thousand years ago, and to that which the whole Catholic world has always believed. - St Solomon Le Clerq
