January 17, 2016, Update: Second Sunday after the Epiphany and the Commemoration of Saint Antony of the Desert
While I thank you for checking this website today, the work on my next commentary, which is turning out to be a missive on the quadrennial farce that is a presidential election cycle, is proceeding methodically.
As I will not be writing as much about this farce of naturalism as I have in past election cycles, I want to make the commentary a sort of “one-stop shopping” reference point to explain that each of the naturalists seeking the presidential nomination of the organized crime family of the naturalist “right” is at variance with multiple precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law, starting with the fact that each and every single one of them, including three of the men (Marco Rubio, Christopher Christie, John Ellis Bush) who debated in the “varsity” or “main event” debate on Thursday, January 14, 2016, the Feast of Saint Hilary of Poitiers, and the Commemoration of Saint Felix of Nola, who are practicing what passes for Catholicism in the conciliar structures is clueless about First and Last Things. Clueless.
The completion of the article that consumed the entirety of my time yesterday, Saturday, January 16, 2016, the Feast of Pope Saint Marcellus I, will be delayed by a day or two more as the Argentine Apostate, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, is going to the Rome Synagogue to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of “Saint” John Paul II’s becoming the first conciliar “pope” to pay his obeisance to the counterfeit church of conciliarism’s Talmudic masters. As was the case six years ago when Joseph Alois Ratzinger visited the Rome Synagogue on Sunday, January 18, 2010 (see Saint Peter and Anti-Peter), Bergoglio is not going there to see the unconditional conversion of the Jews with urgency. No, Jorge will be reaffirming Jews in their false religion as he states once again what he wrote in Evangelii Gaudium, November 26, 2013, namely, that the Old Covenant has never been abrogated and is forever enduring. He is a heretic.
Who says so?
Well, let’s try Pope Pius XII for one:
28.That He completed His work on the gibbet of the Cross is the unanimous teaching of the holy Fathers who assert that the Church was born from the side of our Savior on the Cross like a new Eve, mother of all the living. [28] "And it is now," says the great St. Ambrose, speaking of the pierced side of Christ, "that it is built, it is now that it is formed, it is now that is .... molded, it is now that it is created . . . Now it is that arises a spiritual house, a holy priesthood." [29] One who reverently examines this venerable teaching will easily discover the reasons on which it is based.
29.And first of all, by the death of our Redeemer, the New Testament took the place of the Old Law which had been abolished; then the Law of Christ together with its mysteries, enactments, institutions, and sacred rites was ratified for the whole world in the blood of Jesus Christ. For, while our Divine Savior was preaching in a restricted area -- He was not sent but to the sheep that were lost of the house of Israel [30] -the Law and the Gospel were together in force; [31] but on the gibbet of his death Jesus made void the Law with its decrees, [32] fastened the handwriting of the Old Testament to the Cross, [33] establishing the New Testament in His blood shed for the whole human race. [34] "To such an extent, then," says St. Leo the Great, speaking of the Cross of our Lord, "was there effected a transfer from the Law to the Gospel, from the Synagogue to the Church, from many sacrifices to one Victim, that, as our Lord expired, that mystical veil which shut off the innermost part of the temple and its sacred secret was rent violently from top to bottom." [35]
30. On the Cross then the Old Law died, soon to be buried and to be a bearer of death, [36] in order to give way to the New Testament of which Christ had chosen the Apostles as qualified ministers; [37] and although He had been constituted the Head of the whole human family in the womb of the Blessed Virgin, it is by the power of the Cross that our Savior exercises fully the office itself of Head in His Church. "For it was through His triumph on the Cross," according to the teaching of the Angelic and Common Doctor, "that He won power and dominion over the gentiles"; [38] by that same victory He increased the immense treasure of graces, which, as He reigns in glory in heaven, He lavishes continually on His mortal members it was by His blood shed on the Cross that God's anger was averted and that all the heavenly gifts, especially the spiritual graces of the New and Eternal Testament, could then flow from the fountains of our Savior for the salvation of men, of the faithful above all; it was on the tree of the Cross, finally, that He entered into possession of His Church, that is, of all the members of His Mystical Body; for they would not have been united to this Mystical Body. (Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis, June 29, 1943.)
There is really nothing new in the conciliar universe. However, I will complete a commentary on the false “pope’s” visit to the Rome Synagogue before posting the long political commentary assuming that the Vatican website posts Jorge’s obeisance, which will include references to Nostra Aetate, October 28, 1965, the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, and condemnations of anti-Semitism, in a timely manner.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
Saint Anthony of the Desert, pray for us.
