Antichrist's Liturgical Presiders
by Thomas A. Droleskey
A veritable potpourri of Antichrist's minions from the ranks of false churches, including the counterfeit church of conciliarism, and the civil state served up a diabolically toxic potion of Judeo-Masonry yesterday at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, Massachusetts.
To be sure, the honor and glory and majesty of the Most Blessed Trinity is blasphemed and defamed every day in every Catholic church that is in the control of the conciliar revolutionaries by means of the abominable Protestant and Masonic Novus Ordo service. We must take take this fact for granted or treat it lightly, which is one of the reasons that each of us must accept whatever measure of suffering, whether just or unjust in our self-centered human eyes that tend to see the events of our lives only through the lenses of disordered self-love and naturalism, that comes our way with joy, gratitude and complete serenity without any complaint or bitterness whatsoever as God is blasphemed and defamed and mocked in one Catholic church after another on a daily basis.
Still and all, though, the devil delights quite particularly when he can rivet an entire nation's attention on a particular conciliar-sponsored liturgical travesty that celebrates his own doctrines of religious indifferentism and naturalism with boldness and a spirit of triumphalistic defiance. Thus it can be said that yesterday's travesty at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, Massachusetts, stands out as one of the singularly appalling travesties ever to be televised from within a Catholic cathedral that is in the hands of the spiritual robber barons of the counterfeit church of conciliarism.
The adversary, who prowls about the world seeking souls to devour, has used the tragedy represented by the killing of three people and the serious wounding of over one hundred other people by the "improvised explosive devices" placed near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 15, 2013, to reaffirm the basic anti-Incarnational principles of the modern civil state wrought by Protestantism and brought to life and sustained by the multiple, interlocking errors of Judeo-Masonry.
Although what follows may seem shocking and insensitive to the families who are grieving the loss of their loved ones, it is necessary to state Catholic truth with firmness for the love of the true God of Divine Revelation, the Most Blessed Trinity, and for the eternal and temporal good of the souls redeemed by shedding of every single drop of the Most Precious Blood of His Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
While taking nothing whatsoever away from the grief of relatives mourning the killing of their loved ones and the pain that has been afflicted upon the wounded and their own family members and friends, it is nevertheless true that offenses against God are graver and hence most heinous in the hierarchy of evils. What took place at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, Massachusetts, yesterday was more heinous of a crime than the planned act of terrorism that took the lives of innocent human beings and wounded so many others.
God is Infinite. Our sins against Him are thus of an infinite dimension. Sins against the First and Second Commandments make possible the breaking of each of the other eight commandments, including the Fifth Commandment's injunction of "Thou shalt not kill." It is that simple.
Consider this, ladies and gentlemen. Please take the time to consider this.
Consider the fact that a Protestant hymn, "Amazing Grace," was played as people were taking their places in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross.
Consider the fact that one pro-abortion, pro-perversity public official after another was permitted to take his or her place of honor in a Catholic church building and that three of them, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, a Catholic who remains in perfectly good standing in the conciliar structures despite his adamant, fierce support of the chemical and surgical assassination of the preborn and for "gay marriage" (see Frankly Shameless, Hatred Of Christ The King Drives This World Of Ours and It Has Come To This: Viva Chick Fil-A, Not Viva Cristo Rey), Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Patrick Deval and President Barack Hussein Obama, gave "reflections" on the Boston Marathon tragedy even though each them supports sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.
No one who spoke yesterday, including the man who is such a partisan of the "Neocatechumenal Way" and who permitted the travesty represented by the "Mass of Christian Burial" for the late pro-abortion, pro-perversity United States Senator Edward Moore Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) in the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help on Saturday, August 29, 2009, the Feast of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist ( No Crime Is Worse Than Deicide, Another Victim of Americanism; Behold The Free Rein Given to Error; Behold The Free Rein Given to Error; Unfortunate Enough to Be A Baby; Unfortunate Enough to Be A Baby; Beacon of Social Justice?; Spotlight On The Ordinary; What's Good For Teddy Is Good For Benny; Sean O'Malley: Coward and Hypocrite: More Rationalizations and Distortions), layman Sean "Cardinal" O'Malley, O.F.M., Cap., understood the following simple truth that eviscerates in but two short passages all of the babble that was served up in the Name of God yesterday at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, Massachusetts:
The more closely the temporal
power of a nation aligns itself with the spiritual, and the more it
fosters and promotes the latter, by so much the more it contributes to
the conservation of the commonwealth. For it is the aim of the
ecclesiastical authority by the use of spiritual means, to form good
Christians in accordance with its own particular end and object; and in
doing this it helps at the same time to form good citizens, and prepares
them to meet their obligations as members of a civil society. This
follows of necessity because in the City of God, the Holy Roman Catholic
Church, a good citizen and an upright man are absolutely one and the
same thing. How grave therefore is the error of those who
separate things so closely united, and who think that they can produce
good citizens by ways and methods other than those which make for the
formation of good Christians. For, let human prudence say what it likes
and reason as it pleases, it is impossible to produce true temporal
peace and tranquillity by things repugnant or opposed to the peace and
happiness of eternity. (Silvio Cardinal Antoniano, quoted by Pope Pius XI in Divini Illius Magistri, December 31, 1929.)
Here we have, founded by Catholics, an
inter-denominational association that is to work for the reform of
civilization, an undertaking which is above all religious in character; for there is no true civilization without a moral civilization, and no
true moral civilization without the true religion: it is a proven truth,
a historical fact. (Pope Saint Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910.)
It is impossible to stop God's just chastisement upon His rational creatures as they mock Him by adhering to false gods in false religions and as they promote the very thing, sin, that caused His Divine Son to suffer unspeakable horrors in His Sacred Passion and Death and caused Our Lady to suffer in perfect communion with him as our Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate as those Swords of Sorrow pierced her Immaculate Heart through and through.
Such has been the success of the doctrinal, moral and liturgical revolutions of conciliarism that most people alive today, including most Catholics, are ready to accept everything but Catholicism and Catholic truth as the foundation of personal life and social order. Most people alive today, including most Catholics, are willing to accept whatever babbling nonsense is spoken to them about God and about tragedies as the world has been spoon fed theological and philosophical errors aplenty in the past seven hundred years or so, errors that are now celebrated, at least for the most part, by the conciliar revolutionaries themselves.
Does anyone reading these words believe that Pope Saint Pius X would have permitted non-Catholic "clergymen," no less "clergywomen," to speak from within the sacred confines of the sanctuary of a Catholic church, no less to do so with authority as though Catholics have something to "learn" from their inane, insidious babbling?
Pope Pius IX told us that the "end game," if you will of naturalism and the religiously indifferentist civil state and religious liberty is quite precisely babbling:
"For you well know, venerable brethren, that at this
time men are found not a few who, applying to civil society the impious
and absurd principle of "naturalism," as they call it, dare to teach
that "the best constitution of public society and (also) civil progress
altogether require that human society be conducted and governed without
regard being had to religion any more than if it did not exist; or, at
least, without any distinction being made between the true religion and
false ones." And, against the doctrine of Scripture, of the Church, and
of the Holy Fathers, they do not hesitate to assert that "that is the
best condition of civil society, in which no duty is recognized, as
attached to the civil power, of restraining by enacted penalties,
offenders against the Catholic religion, except so far as public peace
may require." From which totally false idea of social government they do
not fear to foster that erroneous opinion, most fatal in its effects on
the Catholic Church and the salvation of souls, called by Our
Predecessor, Gregory XVI, an "insanity," viz., that "liberty of
conscience and worship is each man's personal right, which ought to be
legally proclaimed and asserted in every rightly constituted society;
and that a right resides in the citizens to an absolute liberty, which
should be restrained by no authority whether ecclesiastical or civil,
whereby they may be able openly and publicly to manifest and declare any
of their ideas whatever, either by word of mouth, by the press, or in
any other way." But, while they rashly affirm this, they do not think
and consider that they are preaching "liberty of perdition;" and that
"if human arguments are always allowed free room for discussion, there
will never be wanting men who will dare to resist truth, and to trust in
the flowing speech of human wisdom; whereas we know, from the very
teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ, how carefully Christian faith and
wisdom should avoid this most injurious babbling."
"And, since where religion has been removed from
civil society, and the doctrine and authority of divine revelation
repudiated, the genuine notion itself of justice and human right is
darkened and lost, and the place of true justice and legitimate right is
supplied by material force, thence it appears why it is that some,
utterly neglecting and disregarding the surest principles of sound
reason, dare to proclaim that "the people's will, manifested by what is
called public opinion or in some other way, constitutes a supreme law,
free from all divine and human control; and that in the political order
accomplished facts, from the very circumstance that they are
accomplished, have the force of right." But who, does not see and
clearly perceive that human society, when set loose from the bonds of
religion and true justice, can have, in truth, no other end than the
purpose of obtaining and amassing wealth, and that (society under such
circumstances) follows no other law in its actions, except the
unchastened desire of ministering to its own pleasure and interests?"
(Pope Pius IX, Quanta Cura, December 8, 1864.)
Behold the babbling that went on yesterday at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, Massachusetts, as the "interfaith prayer service," which was labeled as "Healing Our City," commenced with an official greeting by a women who believes herself to be a "minister" in the heretical sect of Protestantism known as Presbyterianism:
REVEREND LIZ WALKER, ROXBURY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH: You may be seated.
They are age-old questions that rise up far too often these days, questions we all ask, no matter what our faith tradition or our station in life.
How can a good God allow bad things to happen? Where was God when evil slithered in and planted the horror that exploded our innocence?
While someone this morning may have answers, I do not. But this is what I know. God is here, in the midst of this sacred gathering in this sanctuary and beyond, different faiths, different races, strangers bound first by loss and pain, but now clinging together in growing strength in a city that has always faced the darkness head on.
We are members of one another, a community of resilience, hard- pressed, but not defeated, confounded, but not consumed.
We are gathered in community, and through the blur of each other's tears and the beats of so many broken hearts, we will rise in community and face whatever the future holds, resolutely, as one.
This is what is demanded of us, and this is who we are.
God is here in our resilience, the grit that gets us back up again, and nothing taken will be forgotten or lost in vain. This is how God works.
Good morning. I am Reverend Liz Walker from Roxbury Presbyterian Church, and I welcome you as we gather in community to help heal our beloved city and this violence weary world.
Let us pray.
Creator God, in the beginning, you said, let there be light, ad the light shone, piercing the darkness. Help us find our way through the darkness now.
You taught us that we belong to each other. Help us hold each other now. We pray comfort for those who have lost loved ones, courage for those who are struggling through the trauma of physical and psychic pain, and tenderness to those for whom the world no longer makes sense.
Lord, bless this brokenhearted city as she finds her balance, dusts herself off, and tilts her head back toward the sky
Open our eyes to your presence this morning. Open our hearts to your grace. Restore us so that we can see and be the light once again.
In all that we hold holy, for me that is Jesus Christ, let the people of God together say, amen.
CONGREGATION: amen.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Reverend Liz Walker of the Roxbury Presbyterian Church. (Interfaith Prayer Service.)
Pure Judeo-Masonry.
Unadulterated Judeo-Masonry.
Where was God, Liz Walker?
God, Miss Walker, sees all and knows all. He gives us free will to be used to choose in behalf of Him and the Holy Truths that He has revealed to us through His Catholic Church, and to choose to serve the devil. It is that simple. And because of His ineffable love for us He permits us to suffer the consequences of our own sins in order to chastise us and to bring us back unto Him with contrite hears that are ready to make a good, integral Confession to a true priest in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance so that the laver of redemption that is the Most Precious Blood of Jesus can be poured into our immortal souls.
No country that lets the likes of Kermit Gosnells operate freely for years and without any restrictions until his crimes became too many to conceal from public view will escape the just chastisement of the God Who loves us and Who desires us to be with Him for all eternity in Heaven after having died in a state of Sanctifying Grace as members of His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. (See The Gosnell silence: Murder, abortion and the media. More will be mentioned about the trial of this Butcher Gosnell in tomorrow's commentary.)
No country that celebrates unnatural vice and permits those who engage in it to "marry" can escape the just punishment of the true God of Divine Revelation Who loathes sin and lets human beings suffer the consequences of it until and unless they are ready to quit their vice and to repent. No one "loves" anyone else authentically if he says or does anything, whether by omission or commission, that interferes in any way with the eternal salvation of his immortal soul.
No country that celebrates immodesty of dress, indecency of speech and crimes against the private property of citizens by the agencies of the civil state can survive.
No, Liz Walker, we do not belong to each other. We belong to the Most Blessed Trinity by having been Baptized as members of His Catholic Church. We do not "rise as a community." We are not self-redemptive. Pelagianism is a heresy, and you adhere to heresy even though you do not realize that this is the case.
"Creator God, " Liz Walker?
No, no, no. A thousand, a zillion times no:
Beware, Venerable Brethren, of
that growing abuse, in speech as in writing, of the name of God as
though it were a meaningless label, to be affixed to any creation, more
or less arbitrary, of human speculation. Use your influence on the
Faithful, that they refuse to yield to this aberration. Our God
is the Personal God, supernatural, omnipotent, infinitely perfect, one
in the Trinity of Persons, tri-personal in the unity of divine essence,
the Creator of all existence. Lord, King and ultimate Consummator of the
history of the world, who will not, and cannot, tolerate a rival God by
His side.
No faith in God can for long survive pure
and unalloyed without the support of faith in Christ. "No one knoweth
who the Son is, but the Father: and who the Father is, but the Son and
to whom the Son will reveal Him" (Luke x. 22). "Now this is eternal
life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom
thou has sent" (John xvii. 3). Nobody, therefore, can say: "I believe in
God, and that is enough religion for me," for the Savior's words brook
no evasion: "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He
that confesseth the Son hath the Father also" (1 John ii. 23) (Pope Pius XI, Mit Brennender Sorge, March 17, 1937.)
No, Liz Walker, you are in an abyss of error. You are a product of this abyss of error. All you did yesterday was to reaffirm people in that abyss of error, doing so with the de facto "blessing" of Sean O'Malley and what appears to most people in the world to be the Catholic Church.
Shameful.
Hideous.
Offensive.
Blasphemous.
To quote a former "resist while recognize" priest, "Foul."
Liz Walker's offensive babbling was followed by that of "Metropolitan" Methodios, the leader of the heretical and schismatic Greek Orthodox in New England:
METROPOLITAN METHODIOS, GREEK ORTHODOX METROPOLIS OF BOSTON, BROOKLINE: I have the high honor and privilege of representing the Greek Orthodox community of Boston and New England at this interfaith service of healing.
This past Monday, a day rich with symbolism, a horrific act of terrorism wounded the heart and soul of our city and our nation.
Thousands from throughout the world were in Boston as participants and spectators of the marathon, which, as we all know, recalls the run of Pheidippides from the ancient city of Marathon to Athens to announce the victory of Greece over the forces of an empire that devalued freedom, human dignity and democracy.
The Boston marathon always coincides with Patriots Day, when we commemorate the battles of Lexington and Concord, the first of the American Revolution.
Sadly, it was on Patriots Day when we celebrate the values of freedom and democracy and the fiercely independent spirit of America, it was on that day that evil reared its ugly head once again and countless innocent men, women and children fell victims to a senseless and unspeakable act of brutality.
But we know that bombs of terrorism may kill and injure, but they cannot crush the American spirit.
Today we thank Cardinal O'Malley for opening the embrace of his cathedral to all of us.
To President Obama, to Governor Patrick, to Mayor Menino, to all who are in public service, to the religious leaders of the commonwealth, to every citizen, regardless of creed, we gather as a community, as brothers and sisters in the household of God, to bow our heads in solemn prayer for the repose of the souls of three innocent victims whose lives were violently taken and for the countless victims who will bear painful wounds for the rest of their lives.
We come today to thank God for the police and firefighters, the national guard, for the doctors and nurses, for all who responded selflessly and courageously.
We pray that our gracious, loving and compassionate, our merciful God, the healer of our souls and bodies, watch over us and comfort us in our hour of pain, and that He who is the Prince of Peace bring peace to our souls and to our community.
And may almighty God bless America.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Metropolitan Methodios, the Greek orthodox leader, spiritual leader of Boston and New England. (Interfaith Prayer Service.)
Metropolitan Methodios was simply Channeling John Ireland. His own celebration of religious indifferentism and "community" can be dismantled very quickly by asking Pope Leo XIII to do so for us:
Everyone should avoid familiarity or friendship with anyone suspected of
belonging to masonry or to affiliated groups. Know them by their fruits
and avoid them. Every familiarity should be avoided, not only with
those impious libertines who openly promote the character of the sect, but
also with those who hide under the mask of universal tolerance, respect
for all religions, and the craving to reconcile the maxims of the
Gospel with those of the revolution. These men seek to reconcile Christ
and Belial, the Church of God and the state without God. (Pope Leo XIII, Custodi di Quella Fede, December 8, 1892.)
So much for Metropolitan Methodios, thank you very much. (Look, once you deal with the likes of Liz Walker, everything else is pretty redundant.)
Ah, next up was the hideous excuse of a human being named Thomas Menino, the Mayor of the City of Boston, Massachusetts, who has been "in your face" in support of baby-killing and perversity for many years now without any sanction having been imposed upon him by the disgraced man of nuance, Bernard "Cardinal" Law, or Sean "Cardinal" O'Malley:
MAYOR THOMAS MENINO (D), BOSTON: Good morning.
And it is a good morning because we are together. We are one Boston. No adversity, no challenge, nothing can tear down the resilience in the heart of this city and its people.
It is written that hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all sins. As the clock struck that fateful hour, love has covered this resilient city.
I have never loved it, its people more than I do today. We have never loved it and its people more than we do today.
We love the brave ones who felt the blast and still raced to the smoke. With ringing in their ears, they answered cries of those in need. This was the courage of our city at work.
We love the fathers and brothers who took shirts off their backs to stop the bleeding, the mothers and the sisters who cared for the injured.
The neighbors and the business owners, the homeowners all across the city, they opened their doors and their hearts to the weary and the scared.
They said, what's mine is yours. We'll get through this together. This was the compassion of the city at work.
We never loved the heroes who wear their uniforms more than we do at this hour. Boston's Finest in their blue, they carried kids to safety and calmed a city in crisis. The EMTs performed miracles in an instant. The firefighters answered the call. We love the national guard and our service members who brought valor to our streets, the volunteers in the BAA jackets and the vests, the doctors, the nurses who (inaudible) as the victims and the gravely injured arrived.
This was the strength of our city at work. We have never loved the people of the city -- the world and our great country more for their prayers and wishes.
And, yes, we even love New York City more, "Sweet Caroline" played at Yankee Stadium and our city's flag flying in Lower Manhattan.
It gives us even more strength to say prayer after prayer for the victims still recovering through the hospitals, at home.
It gives us strength to say goodbye to the young boy with the big heart, Martin Richard. We pray for his sister and his mom, his brother and his dad.
It helps us to say that we'll miss Krystle Campbell and celebrate her spirit that brought her to the marathon year after year.
It prepares us to mourn Lu Lingzi, who came to the city in search of education, and found new friends. We'll never forget her.
I'm telling you, nothing can defeat the heart of the city. Nothing. Nothing will take us down, because we take care of one another.
Even with the smell of the smoke in the air, and blood on the streets, tears in our eyes, we triumphed over that hateful act on Monday afternoon. It's a glorious thing.
The love and the strength covers our city. It will push us forward. It will push thousands and thousands and thousands of people across the finish line next year.
Because this is Boston, a city with courage, compassion and strength that knows no bounds.
Thank you.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mayor Thomas Menino.
(APPLAUSE)
(SINGING) (Interfaith Prayer Service.)
More Judeo-Masonry.
More self-redemption.
More sentimentality.
No, Mayor Menino, the City of Boston and the United States of America have not even begun to pay back the debt that is owed to God for the promotion of heinous sins under cover of the civil law. You face the fate of all those in public life who subject the innocent preborn the terror of the abortuary, where every baby is killed just as surely as they were in Kermit Gosnell's house of horrors, and you had better tremble at these words as they apply to you and the evil you have promoted and celebrated:
Those who hold the reins of government should not forget that it is the
duty of public authority by appropriate laws and sanctions to defend
the lives of the innocent, and this all the more so since those whose
lives are endangered and assailed cannot defend themselves. Among whom
we must mention in the first place infants hidden in the mother's womb. And
if the public magistrates not only do not defend them, but by their
laws and ordinances betray them to death at the hands of doctors or of
others, let them remember that God is the Judge and Avenger of innocent
blood which cried from earth to Heaven. (Pope Pius XI, Casti Connubii, December 30, 1930.)
Your crimes against God and man, against your own city, state and our nation are what make this country more vulnerable to attacks such as the one that took place on Monday, April 15, 2013, and the ones that occurred on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. A country that subjects Christ the King to mockery and that aborts Him mystically in the persons of innocent preborn human beings will suffer far worse fates than have yet befallen it. Ancient Rome fell as a result of statism, excessive taxation, government control of private property and legitimate human liberties, needless foreign wars and rampant immorality. So will the United States of America fall as its foundation is based on the quicksand of Protestantism and Judeo-Masonry.
Yet another ministerette spoke after Thomas Menino, a woman named Nancy S. Taylor, who is said to be the "senior minister," whatever that means, in Boston, and is both pro-abortion and pro-"gay marriage." What an assortment of characters from Hell, from Antichrist's own "central casting" department of liturgical presiders:
REVEREND ELDER NANCY S. TAYLOR, SENIOR MINISTER, BOSTON: Located at the finish line of the Boston marathon, Old South Church in Boston has developed over the years a ministry to marathoners. And I'm here to tell you that they are a special, very special breed. They are built of sturdy stuff.
As we do every year on Marathon Sunday, the day before the marathon, we invite the athletes to worship. And they come in the hundreds. And during the service, we ask them to stand. And we raise a forest of arms in blessing over them. And in the words of the Prophet Isaiah, we supercharge them, saying "may you run and not grow weary, may you walk and not faint."
This year in the midst of it all, in the midst of a joy-filled, peace- filled, international competition unlike any other, explosions, chaos, terror.
And from the church's tower, this is what I saw that day. I saw people run toward, not away from, toward the explosions. Toward the chaos. The mayhem. Toward the danger. Making of their own bodies sacraments of mercy.
In the minutes and hours that followed I saw with my own eyes good Samaritans taking off their coats and their shirts and wrapping them around athletes who were shivering, quaking with cold and whose limbs were stiffening. Good Samaritans who fed, clothed and sheltered runners and families, assisted families, shared their cell phones, opened homes and stores, and not least, guided strangers through Boston's cow paths.
Today, from our tower overlooking the finish line, we continue to fly our three marathon banners. Today we fly them first in memory of those whose lives were taken that day. And second, we fly them with prayers for those who were harmed and those who grieve, for their is still much, much pain in the world today. And we are very far from being healed.
And we fly them also in thanksgiving for first responders who made of their own bodies sacraments of blessing.
Here's what I know today. We are shaken, but we are not forsaken. Another's hate will not make of us haters. Another's cruelty will only redouble our mercy. Amen.
CONGREGATION: Amen.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Reverend Nancy S. Taylor Senior Minister. (Interfaith Prayer Service.)
"Making of their own bodies sacraments of mercy."
No.
While it is certainly true that many extraordinary and heroic acts were performed by Bostonians on Monday, April 15, 2013, and while these are indeed most commendable and praiseworthy, those who tried to perform such heroic acts to save the preborn by nonviolent means in the 1980s and early 1990s prior to "Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances" Act (FACE) were arrested and brutalized as they placed themselves on the line to defend the indefensible. Although commendable, it is natural for people to seek to come to the rescue others in a time of tragedy.
Why is the heroism of those who came to the rescue of the injured four days ago, many of whom had limbs blown off of their bodies, celebrated while that of those who attempted to come to the rescue of the invisible victims of surgical baby-butchery whose bodies are torn apart even in "sanitary" and "safe" abortion mills disparaged as "hatred of women"?
Few are those who have heralded the heroism of the likes of Joseph Scheidler and his network of sidewalk counselors across the nation who were subjected to a Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization lawsuit by Planned Parenthood that took over fifteen years to resolve favorably in their behalf.
Few are those who even remember the brutality the police forces in West Hartford, Connecticut, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Houston, Texas, during the summer of 1989 when Operation Rescue was at its peak.
Few are those who care even in Nassau County, New York to know of how Father John T. Murphy of the Save the Babies Foundation was arrested and manhandled by the members of the Nassau County Police Department merely for praying Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary in front of an American killing center in Garden City, New York.
No, no, no. It is only tragedies such as the ones that take place from time to time that rivet a nation's attention, not the daily tragedy of the carnage wrought by the chemical and surgical assassination of innocent babies in the sanctuaries of their mothers' wombs.
Moreover, and much more importantly, is the tragedy represented by the way in which men thought to be Catholic bishops and priests commit unspeakable crimes against the Sacred Deposit of Faith and against the honor and glory and the majesty of God by promoting doctrines and engaging in liturgical and pastoral acts that have been condemned solemnly by the authority of the Catholic Church.
One of the greatest crimes of the conciliar leaders is the treatment of false religions as "sacred" in the eyes of the true God of Divine Revelation and to accord a special place of honor for adherents of the Talmud, one of whom, Rabbi Ronne Friedman, spoke after Nancy S. Taylor, doing so without ever recognizing or acknowledging Sean O'Malley, in whose purloined Cathedral of the Holy Cross yesterday's travesty occurred:
RABBI RONNE FRIEDMAN, SENIOR RABBI, TEMPLE OF ISRAEL: President and Mrs. Obama, Governor and Mrs. Patrick, Mayor and Mrs. Menino, all of us in this space and well beyond are grateful for your constant and inspired leadership. Your compassionate presence is a signal of the triumph of order over chaos, of love over hatred.
The gifted columnist Anna Quintan wrote, "grief remains one of the few things that has the power to silence us. It is a whisper in the world and a clamor within. The landscapes of all our lives become as full of craters as the surface of the moon."
We would wish our prayers this morning to hold not only the city and its souls in our embrace, but to extend our reach to kindred spirits in Newtown and now, sadly, in West, Texas. Our message to them is that our arms are wide enough to hold you in our hearts as well.
The Hasidic sage, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov once said, "(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE), the entire world is a narrow bridge, (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE) but the important principle is (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE) -- the important principle is to transcend somehow your fear."
As we share our grief for those who have lost life or limb, and for the constellations of families and friends who surround them, we turn to these words taken from Psalm 147, verse 3.
(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
God, healer of the brokenhearted, and binder of their wounds, grant consolation to those who mourn and healing to all those who suffer loss and pain. Empower them with strength and courage and restore to them and to all of us who grieve with them a sense of life's goodness and purpose. Fill their hearts and ours with reverence and with love that we might turn to you again with hearts restored to wholeness, hands committed to the re-creation of well-being and peace. (Interfaith Prayer Service.)
I was able to find out a bit of information about Rabbi Ronne Friedman for you freeloaders (smile--it's only a joke, well, sort of, kind of, maybe, perhaps) out there in cyberspace.
Unsurprisingly, Ronne Friedman, who is a Talmudic rabbi of the "Reform" variety, supports the chemical and surgical assassination of innocent preborn children and supports "gay marriage:"
(Boston, June 5, 2003) Speaking from the pulpit where Massachusetts
leaders debated the US Bill of Rights and voted to ratify the US
Constitution, a group of religious leaders
came together today to call for civil marriage rights for committed
gay and lesbian couples in Massachusetts.
Rabbi Devon Lerner, co-chair of the Religious
Coalition for the Freedom to Marry, introduced the press conference held at UUA headquarters, saying,
[RCFM is] "a group of more than 450 clergy from over a dozen
different faith traditions. While we honor every religious community's
right to determine the definition of a religious marriage, we also
believe in the inherent right of gay and lesbian couples to be given
the rights, protections and legal responsibilities under the law."
Joining Rabbi Lerner as speakers at the press conference were the
Rev. William G. Sinkford, President of the Unitarian Universalist
Association; Rabbi Ronne Friedman, Senior Rabbi of Temple
Israel in Boston;
and the Rev. Anne Fowler, Rector of St.
John's Episcopal Church in Jamaica Plain. Nearly twenty clergy supporting freedom to marry for gay and lesbian
couples stood in back of the speakers as they made their statements.
"The citizens and our legislators on Beacon Hill need to know
that there are religious people who support the right to marry for
same-sex couples," said Sinkford. "Unitarian Universalist
ministers have performed religious ceremonies of union for gay and
lesbian couples for more than twenty years, and in 1996 the
UUA passed a resolution calling for the legalization of same-sex
marriage." Sinkford also noted, "My second point concerns
religious liberty and the separation of church and state. In our
society, here in Massachusetts and in the rest of this great nation,
religious pluralism is a reality. The task of our government and
elected representatives is not to enshrine the religious point of
view of any one faith in our laws; ...it is to dedicate itself to
protecting the rights of all citizens."
The Rev. Fowler said that in supporting civil marriage for gays
and lesbians, "I believe we are working for God's promise of
freedom and justice for all. No longer must our lesbian and gay
sisters and brothers be forced to demonstrate why they should be
allowed to marry...this is a justice issue, a matter of equality."
Rabbi Friedman said, "We have come together today not to assert
what is, but what ought to be. We insist that the Catholic criteria
for marriage not be imposed on civil society. The Catholic Church's
history is full of efforts to say this is God's will...but we believe
in a loving God, and we affirm that gays and lesbians have a right
to our blessings as well."
The Rev. Dr. Nancy Taylor, president of the Massachusetts
Conference, United Church of Christ, was not able to be at the press conference due to a last-minute
scheduling conflict, but had sent a letter to every Massachusetts
legislator this week, saying, "The Catholic Church has every
right to try and enforce its teachings among its own members, but
we believe the question before the legislators must be argued and
decided on the grounds of civil rights, not Catholic, or any other
religious doctrine. Gay families are part of the demographic landscape
of the Commonwealth. As citizens they deserve the same rights, liberties,
and protections afforded straight families."
A civil suit
filed on behalf of seven plaintiff couples by Gay and Lesbian Advocates
and Defenders (GLAD) is expected to be decided by the Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court, perhaps this month. The case seeks civil
marriage for gay and lesbian couples in Massachusetts.
Over one hundred Massachusetts UU clergy and congregations have
signed the Massachusetts
Declaration of Religious Support for the Freedom of Same-Gender
Couples to Marry
a growing number of UU
ministers have also declared their intention not to sign marriage
licenses until same-gender couples have the right to marry. (Religious Leaders Call for Support of Civil Marriage. You can even watch the press conference of this celebration of evil from ten years ago if you would like to do so.)
Yes, yes, yes.
It is no wonder that Ronne Friedman did not acknowledge Sean O'Malley as Friedman is an anti-Catholic bigot. He is a Christophobe. Nancy Taylor is just as much an anti-Catholic bigot as Ronne Friedman. Yet it is that they were permitted to speak at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross even though their very presence in the sanctuary of this once proud Catholic cathedral where so many thousands of true Masses were offered to God for His greater honor and glory as the very Sacrifice of the Cross was perpetuated in an unbloody manner was itself an act of mocking the Holy Cross and the Divine Redeemer upon which our sins fastened Him.
You might also like to know who one of Ronne Friedman's congregants is. Sure, let me inform you. He is the brother of the 2004 nominee of the organized crime family of the naturalist "left," the pro-abortion, pro-perversity then United States Senator and current United States Secretary of State John F. Kerry, at whose nominating convention in Boston, Massachusetts, nine years ago Ronne Friedman prayed to the devil:
Also yesterday, the invocation was given by Rabbi Ronne Friedman of
Temple Israel in the Fenway. Kerry's brother -- attorney Cameron F.
Kerry, a convert to Judaism -- is a member of Temple Israel.
Friedman called on God to ''instruct us all in the ways of peace and bring security to our troubled world." (Priest's benediction touches on abortion and gay rights.)
The Talmudist pro-abort and pro-Sodomite Friedmanw as followed by a Mohammedan, who, quite naturally, prayed to the devil in his own way, also not acknowledging Sean "Cardinal" O'Malley:
NASSER S. WEDADDY CHRMN., NEW ENGLAND INTERFAITH COUNCIL: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
In the name of God, the most compassionate and most merciful, Mr. President, Governor Patrick, Mayor Menino, and fellow citizens of Boston. We're gathered together to mourn the loss of life in a criminal attack in our community. What happened on Monday has shocked and horrified us. But it has also brought us together.
I come before you to share the message of my community's scripture. I want to cite a Quranic passage that I studied when I was seven years old. I was living at the time in Damascus, Syria. One afternoon while walking back home from school, I experienced a terror of a car bomb that exploded on my route. I will never forget the sound of the blast, the confused rush of humanity, and the anger and the fear that these feelings returned on Monday.
What gave me comfort at that time is something that may bring comfort to all of us today. It is a line from the Muslim Holy Scripture (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE). The passage declares that it is inspired by the Jewish tradition.
By a decree to the children of Israel. That whoever kills a soul, it is as if he killed mankind entirely. And whoever saves a life, it is as if he saved all of mankind.
On Boyleston street on Monday afternoon, next to a great public library that bears among many names that of the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, we saw souls murdered. But also lives saved.
One week ago I was at another ceremony here in Boston. I stood in Faneuil Hall with 400 other people before a bust of Frederick Douglass and John Adams. We came from 77 different countries and all kinds of religious backgrounds. I, the lowly immigrant from Mauritania raised my hand and took with them our oath of citizenship.
Those of you who are born Americans may not be aware of what naturalized citizens pledge upon officially joining the nation of the United States of America. I was profoundly struck by the words we recited. We pledged to defend the constitution and the laws of the United States of America against all enemies. Foreign and domestic. And we pledged to perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by law.
When I recited this pledge last week, I could not imagine that work of national importance by civilians would be required here in Boston so soon. But now all of us need to take up this pledge. We all have service to perform and, indeed, we are all moved by the thousands of people who stepped forward in a moment of tragedy and confusion to serve.
I want to salute everyone who ran towards the victim despite risk to themselves. Everyone who gave blood. Everyone who volunteered shelter for stranded runners. I want to salute the members of law enforcement who are protecting us as we speak, and to thank the people around the world who are sending messages of hope and solidarity.
Before us, all is civilian work of national and even international interest. No one has to take a formal oath. We know instinctively that we must rise to the occasion and act because of our common humanity. That is what makes us Americans. One nation, under God.
And now a prayer. Dear God, (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE) oh compassionate one, oh merciful one, welcome in heaven those innocent souls who were taken from us and grant the surviving family members the strength to face their loss. Heal the wounds of those hurt last Monday and heal the wounds of all Bostonians. We are hurting. United by faith and something greater than ourselves, we people of Boston, with your blessing, dedicate ourselves to the great task before us. To heal, to rebuild, and to serve once again as a shining city on the hill. (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE). Amen. (Interfaith Prayer Service.)
One nation under God?
Whose God?
Not the true God of Divine Revelation, the Most Blessed Trinity, Who was rejected and then blasphemed by the murderous, lecherous idolater and false prophet named Mohammed.
Pope Pius XI, I need you again. Would you care to repeat yourself?
Beware, Venerable Brethren, of
that growing abuse, in speech as in writing, of the name of God as
though it were a meaningless label, to be affixed to any creation, more
or less arbitrary, of human speculation. Use your influence on the
Faithful, that they refuse to yield to this aberration. Our God
is the Personal God, supernatural, omnipotent, infinitely perfect, one
in the Trinity of Persons, tri-personal in the unity of divine essence,
the Creator of all existence. Lord, King and ultimate Consummator of the
history of the world, who will not, and cannot, tolerate a rival God by
His side.
No faith in God can for long survive pure
and unalloyed without the support of faith in Christ. "No one knoweth
who the Son is, but the Father: and who the Father is, but the Son and
to whom the Son will reveal Him" (Luke x. 22). "Now this is eternal
life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom
thou has sent" (John xvii. 3). Nobody, therefore, can say: "I believe in
God, and that is enough religion for me," for the Savior's words brook
no evasion: "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He
that confesseth the Son hath the Father also" (1 John ii. 23) (Pope Pius XI, Mit Brennender Sorge, March 17, 1937.)
Well, look whose next up?
Mr. Sean O'Malley himself, freshly returned from yet another "retreat" in Galilee given by the cultists who compose the heretical "Neocatechumenal Way" (see Do Not Permit Yourselves To Be Snookered. I will interject some comments now and again, Sean, if that is all right with you. Thanks a heap, you're a sport (hey, I get pretty funny around 2:00 a.m.):
My dear brothers, sisters and friends.
On behalf of our Catholic community, I wish to welcome all of you here to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. It is an honor to have our President, the Governor, and our Mayor here with us this morning. We are grateful to Governor Patrick for initiating this ecumenical and interfaith prayer service. We are delighted that Metropolitan Methodius and so many leaders from the various churches and faith communities could join us here today. (Transcript of Apostate O’Malley’s remarks.)
Yes, an honor to have the man, Barack Hussein Obama, who holds a civil office and has no business speaking in the sanctuary of any Catholic church, a man who supports the chemical and surgical assassination of the preborn and sodomy, a statist who has sought to curb legitimate human liberties and to coerce individual Catholics and others opposed to contraception and abortion to fund health-care coverage for contraception and abortion as part of Obama Care. An honor. Imagine.
Yes, an honor to have Deval Patrick, who is equally adamant in his support of evil as Obama is. An honor. Imagine.
An honor only for the devil, good readers. That is all.
All right, Sean, thanks for your patience. You may continue:
Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, has asked me to communicate to you his sentiments of love and support. The Holy Father invokes God’s peace upon our dead, consolation upon the suffering and God’s strength upon all those engaged in the continuing work of relief and response. The Holy Father prays that we will be united in the resolve not to be overcome by evil, but to combat evil with good, working together to build an ever more just, free and secure society for generations to come. (Transcript of Apostate O’Malley’s remarks.)
Pope Saint Pius X, would you like to provide Petrine Minister Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis with a little lesson about building "an ever more just, free and secure society for generations to come"?
Here we have, founded by Catholics, an
inter-denominational association that is to work for the reform of
civilization, an undertaking which is above all religious in character; for there is no true civilization without a moral civilization, and no
true moral civilization without the true religion: it is a proven truth,
a historical fact. (Pope Saint Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910.)
While you are at it, dear Pope Saint Pius X, how about a reminder to Sean O'Malley about the hideous nature of his "respect" for false religions and his embrace of false ecumenism as the path to the "better" world envisioned by Petrine Minister Francis?
This being said, what must be thought of the promiscuity in
which young Catholics will be caught up with heterodox and unbelieving
folk in a work of this nature? Is it not a thousand-fold more dangerous
for them than a neutral association? What are we to think of this appeal
to all the heterodox, and to all the unbelievers, to prove the
excellence of their convictions in the social sphere in a sort of
apologetic contest? Has not this contest lasted for nineteen centuries
in conditions less dangerous for the faith of Catholics? And was it not
all to the credit of the Catholic Church? What are we to think of this
respect for all errors, and of this strange invitation made by a
Catholic to all the dissidents to strengthen their convictions through
study so that they may have more and more abundant sources of fresh
forces? What are we to think of an association in which all religions
and even Free-Thought may express themselves openly and in complete
freedom? For the Sillonists who, in public lectures and elsewhere,
proudly proclaim their personal faith, certainly do not intend to
silence others nor do they intend to prevent a Protestant from asserting
his Protestantism, and the skeptic from affirming his skepticism. (Pope Saint Pius X, Notre Charge Apostolique, August 15, 1910.)
It is now time to return to Sean O'Malley's naturalism:
This year’s Patriots’ Day celebrations were marred by an act of senseless violence that has caused all of us great shock and pain. It made us relive the horror of the September 11th terrorist attack and is a stark reminder of the darkness that can lurk in the human heart and produce such evil. And yet the same tragedy brought us together as a community like nothing else ever could. The generous and courageous response of so many assures us that there resides in people’s hearts a goodness that is incredibly selfless. We saw that when summoned by great events we can be remarkably committed to the well-being of others, even total strangers. We become a stronger people, a more courageous people, and a more noble people. The police, emergency workers and even bystanders and passers-by did not hesitate to put themselves in harm’s way to help the injured and the frightened.
Our presence here is an act of solidarity with those who lost their lives or were injured in the explosions and an expression of our desire to support them and their families and loved ones.
This Patriots’ Day shakes us out of our complacency and indifference and calls us to focus on the task of building a civilization that is based on love, justice, truth and service. We do not want to risk losing the legacy of those first patriots who were willing to lay down their lives for the common good. We must overcome the culture of death by promoting a culture of life, a profound respect for each and every human being made in the image and likeness of God, and we must cultivate a desire to give our lives in the service of others. (Transcript of Apostate O’Malley’s remarks.)
More self-redemption.
We become a stronger people?
Pelagianism.
Sanctifying Grace, which is absent in the counterfeit church's liturgical rites, helps to grow in sanctity and thus to cooperate with the graces of our Baptism and Confirmation.
Culture of life?
Is this the best you could do, Sean? No mention of the preborn in front of the pro-aborts and pro-Sodomites gathered in the cathedral you control under false pretenses?
Shameful.
Last week, I was in Galilee on the Mount of the Beatitudes with 30 priests from Boston. There we prayed together and listened to the very Gospel that was read for us here this morning. The Sermon on the Mount is a description of the life of the people gathered by and around the Lord. Often in the Gospels, we can see the contrast between the crowd and the community. The crowd is made up of self-absorbed individuals, each one focused on his or her own interests in competition with the conflicting projects of others. A community is where people come to value each other, and find their own identity in being part of something bigger than themselves, working together for the common good.
The Sermon on the Mount, in many ways, is the Constitution of the people called to live a new life. Jesus gives us a new way to deal with offenses, by reconciliation. Jesus gives us a new way to deal with violence, by nonviolence. He gives us a new way to deal with money, by sharing and providing for those in need. Jesus gives us a new way to deal with leadership, by drawing upon the gift of every person, each one a child of God.
In the face of the present tragedy, we must ask ourselves what kind of a community do we want to be, what are the ideals that we want to pass on to the next generation. It cannot be violence, hatred and fear. The Jewish people speak of Tikkun Olam, “repairing the world.” God has entrusted us with precisely that task, to repair our broken world. We cannot do it as a collection of individuals; we can only do it together, as a community, as a family. Like every tragedy, Monday’s events are a challenge and an opportunity for us to work together with a renewed spirit of determination and solidarity and with the firm conviction that love is stronger than death. (Transcript of Apostate O’Malley’s remarks.)
Our identity comes, Sean O'Malley, from the Baptismal font. We are Catholics. We are members of the Mystical Body of Christ, united to the living members of Christ the King's Mystical Body in the Church Militant on the face of this earth by means of prayers and sacrifices offered for them, united also to the members of the Church Suffering in Purgatory and to the souls of elect who are members of the Church Triumphant (yes, Church Triumph, Jorge Mario Bergoglio) in Heaven. We do not find our "identity" in the "community," Sean.
Identity, schmentity.
Phooey on you, Sean O'Malley.
Nonviolence?
Excuse me, Sean, unlike your false conciliar church, the Catholic Church teaches that legitimate force, which is not same thing as "violence" undertaken in disregard of the binding precepts of the Fifth Commandment, can be employed in the defense of one's own life and that of others if we are able to render assistance in a time of mortal threat to their lives. A society may use force after the administration of justice to impose the ultimate punishment, the death penalty, upon a malefactor judged to be guilty of a heinous crime following the discharge of the requisites under due process of law. And a nation may undertake its own self-defense in times of mortal threat.
Alas, Sean, the "nonviolence" you preach has nothing to do with the Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi you invoked at the end of your Judeo-Masonic remarks yesterday. Catholics do not seek to take the law into their own hands and they forgive their persecutors right readily. However, they also recognize that violence of the sort that occurred on Monday, April 15, 2013, was the result of the violent assaults against the Sacred Rights of Christ the King in which the lords of Modernity in the civil state and you and your fellow lords of conciliarism have waged for long now. There cannot be peace among men while men who say that they are Catholic officials make warfare upon Catholic Faith, Worship and Morals and as they enable and praise civil leaders of all religions or no religion who support grave evils that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.
"Repairing a broken world"
See Notre Charge Apostolique, supra, Sean.
Quoting a Jewish saying?
We are judged by Christ the King at the moment of our deaths in the Particular Judgment as individuals, not as a "community," and it is the state of our immortal souls that determines the fate of nations, not Judeo-Masonic efforts to build the "better world" by naturalistic means. Pope Pius XI has something to say to you about this, Sean O'Malley:
Every true and lasting reform has ultimately sprung from the sanctity of men who were driven by the love of God and of men. Generous, ready to stand to attention to any call from God, yet
confident in themselves because confident in their vocation, they grew
to the size of beacons and reformers. . No doubt "the
Spirit breatheth where he will" (John iii. 8): "of stones He is able to
raise men to prepare the way to his designs" (Matt. iii. 9). He chooses
the instruments of His will according to His own plans, not those of
men. But the Founder of the Church, who breathed her into existence at
Pentecost, cannot disown the foundations as He laid them. Whoever is
moved by the spirit of God, spontaneously adopts both outwardly and
inwardly, the true attitude toward the Church, this sacred fruit
from the tree of the cross, this gift from the Spirit of God, bestowed
on Pentecost day to an erring world. (Pope Pius XI, Mit Brennender Sorge, March 17, 1937.)
This is what a Catholic prelate, which Sean O'Malley is not because he is neither a Catholic or a priest or a bishop, would have said in a sermon in the context of a Requiem Mass as yesterday morning's interfaith "prayer service" is something that is anathema to believing Catholics:
We gather this morning to commemorate a
terrible event here in this City of Boston, Massachusetts
We are here this morning to pray for the
happy repose of the souls of those who were killed and for the consolation of their families and friends.
The Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass is the unbloody re-presentation or perpetuation of the one
Sacrifice offered by the God the Son to His Co-Equal God the Father in Spirit and in Truth on the
wood of the Holy Cross to pay back in His Sacred Humanity the debt of human sin that was owed to Him in His Infinity as God.
The Mass extends the Sacrifice of Calvary in time, making
present the fruits of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ's Redemptive Act
to the Church Militant here on earth and the Church Suffering in
Purgatory. Thus, we pray tonight that the fruits of this Mass will
assist the souls of those who were killed three days ago.
Why do we have Masses offered for the dead?
Why can't we assume that those killed so suddenly one year ago today are
in Heaven?
Well, the answer is very simple.
Nothing impure can enter
Heaven. Very few people who are in a state of Sanctifying Grace as members of the Catholic Church at the
time of their deaths have paid back the entirety of the debt they owe
God because of their forgiven Mortal Sins and their general attachment
to sin. God has given us the Purgatory so that those who died
in a state of final justification can pay back after death that which
they owed at the time of their deaths. We in the Church Militant on
earth can assist the members of the Church Suffering in Purgatory by
remembering them in our prayers and, most especially, by having Masses
said for them. We are gathered here principally to offer the fruits of
this Mass to those souls who died three days ago and who are in need of this
satisfaction.
Some of you might ask, "Your Eminence, what
if my loved one is in Heaven?
Why should I pray for him and have Masses
said for him? After all, he died so tragically?"
Well, we have to
understand that a tragic death is not the same thing as a holy death.
Believe me, as Padre Pio taught, no prayer is ever wasted.
If one of our loved ones is in Heaven, our dear Blessed Mother will
direct the fruit of those prayers to some other deserving soul. So, my
friends, we continue to pray and to have Masses offered for the souls of
all of our relatives and friends, including those who died three days ago and those who might die as the manhunt for the killers continues.
We also pray, obviously, for the consolation
of those who still grieve over the deaths of their loved ones. The fruits
of the Mass are meant to fortify them, especially by means of the
worthy reception of the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of the God-Man,
Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in Holy Communion.
One of the things that has been lost in
our world of naturalism is the fact that death is going to come to us all,
including ourselves and our relatives, sometimes when we least expect
it. "You do not know when the Master will come. The Master comes like a
thief in the night."
We must be prepared at all times to die, which is
why we should be mindful about being in a state of Sanctifying Grace at
all times. One of the best ways we can prepare to meet the Divine
Redeemer in the face is to spend time with Him in prayer before the
Blessed Sacrament, to develop a deep and tender devotion to His Most
Blessed Mother, especially through her Most Holy Rosary, and to frequent
the Sacrament of Penance in order to root out sin from our lives and to
so increase the beauty of our souls and the fervor with which we
receive Holy Communion.
We are not people are maudlin sentimentality.
We do not exalt the "human spirit," which is certainly capable of
natural acts of goodness and heroism, as the ultimate end of human
existence.
We are people of the Catholic Faith, who must view all
things, including terrible tragedies, through the eyes of the Faith. And
our Faith teaches us that Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has
conquered the power of sin and death forever on the wood of the Holy
Cross. It is up to us to cooperate with the graces we receive in the
Sacraments to see the events of the world supernaturally through the
eyes of the soul. For we know that a soul who has died in a state of
Sanctifying Grace will one day see the glory of the Beatific Vision of
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in Heaven. As Saint Paul noted, "And if
Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is
also vain. . . . And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain,
for you are yet in your sins." (1 Cor. 15:14, 17)
Our Lord's Easter victory over sin and death
puts the events of each one of our lives and the world in their proper
perspective. Meaning not to disparage for one moment the depth of the
pain and the suffering that has visited so many people in our city,
we have to remember that there is nothing any of us can suffer,
including the sudden and unexpected and unjust loss of a loved one, that
is the equal of what one of our Venial Sins caused Our Lord to suffer
in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion and Death as those Swords of Sorrow were pierced through and through the Immaculate Heart of His Most Blessed Mother. Our pain and our
suffering are meant to unite us to the pain and suffering experienced by
the God-Man as He hung atop the heights of Golgotha to make it possible
for us to realize an unending Easter Sunday of glory in Paradise.
Suffering is redemptive if we offer it up in union with the Cross of
Christ. And those who are totally consecrated to the Mother of God
entrust all of the merit they earn by the patient embrace of their own
daily crosses to her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, knowing that she will not deny
them anything at the moment of their own deaths if they remain faithful
to the end.
It is also from the Cross of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
that we learn of the divine mandate to forgive those who harm us and our
loved ones. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
(Luke 23:34) The Pater Noster teaches us: "Et dimmite nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimmitimus debitoribus nostris." (And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against
us.)
That is, if we want to be forgiven by Our Lord then we must offer
that forgiveness to others, including those who perpetrated the horrible
attacks on this country a year ago today. This does not mean that it is
wrong to seek to bring to justice anyone involved in the deadly attacks. Not at all.
However, it does mean that we must recognize
that the beneficiaries of God's mercy in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance must also be the administrators
of such mercy in their own lives. This is hard. It is not possible to do
on the natural level. It goes against every fiber of fallen human
nature. We can only offer such forgiveness when we cooperate with
supernatural grace to understand our total reliance upon Christ's Mercy.
As the late Father John Hardon once noted, "God permits us to sin so
that we can forgive each other." Indeed.
The events of April 15, 2013, call to
mind the inviolability of each innocent human life.
Please
understand what it is I must say at this point.
Unless I do say it,
however, I will be remiss in my obligation as a Successor of the
Apostles to preach the fullness of the splendor of Truth Incarnate in
charity.
Every human life is made in the image and
likeness of the Blessed Trinity. Our Lord could have become man any way
He chose. He is the Logos, the Word, through Whom all things were made.
There is nothing lacking in His omnipotence as God. He chose to enter
human history so as to redeem us on the wood of the Holy Cross by being
conceived as a helpless embryo in His Blessed Mother's Virginal and
Immaculate womb by the power of God the Holy Ghost at the moment of the
Incarnation.
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the Lord
of history. He knew that there would come a time in the history of the
created world that innocent human life in the womb would be subject to
barbarous extermination under cover of law, yes, even in these United
States. One of the reasons Our Lord condescended to become the prisoner
of the tabernacle of Our Lady's Virginal and Immaculate womb was to
place Himself in solidarity with every child in every mother's womb
without exception. Although He cannot suffer again in His Glorified
Body, He did teach us that "Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to
one of these my least brethren, you did it to me." (Mt. 25:40) The least
of His brethren are in the womb today, totally defenseless, totally
dependent upon their mothers and those around them to protect their
absolute inviolability. Thus, to kill a child in the womb is to execute
mystically Jesus Christ. I repeat: every abortion is a mystical
destruction of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the person of preborn babies. We cannot
say we love Our Lord and support His destruction mystically in the wombs
of mothers under cover of law.
Over ten thousand innocent babies have been put to
death under cover of law by surgical means alone in the United States of America in the past three days. Again, meaning to
disparage not one whit from the suffering of those gathered here this
evening, we must also grieve for the deaths of these innocent
children-and for the over fifty-five million children who have been put to death
in this country under cover of law since the surgical killing of children became
"legal" in California and Hawaii in 1967
and on demand nationally as a result of the Supreme Court of United States' decision
in Roe v. Wade on January 22, 1973. A nation that puts to death
the innocent unborn under cover of law makes itself more vulnerable to
attacks from those outside of our borders, people who have no more
respect for the inviolability of our lives than we do for the most
defenseless within our own midst. No amount of show of military force
will render such a nation secure as long as it permits the shedding of
innocent blood under cover of law.
Thus, in the presence of so many public
officials, most of whom support this slaughter of the unborn by the use
of various linguistic devices designed to anesthetize the reality of
chemical and surgical child-killing, I must remind everyone here that human law must be
conformed to the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the
Natural Law. Contingent beings whose bodies are destined for the
corruption of the grave until the Last Day do not determine right and
wrong. We have the obligation to subordinate our lives, both
individually and collectively in society, to God's Sovereignty over us
and our societies. We make our nation more vulnerable to attacks from
without as long as we refuse submission to that sovereignty, taking it
upon ourselves to deny the inviolability of innocent human
life in the womb. If we want to make our country more secure, and
therefore a more fitting instrument in the pursuit of justice both here
and abroad, then we must stop all forms of abortion, chemical and
surgical alike. To honor those killed on three days ago, we
must defend innocent life in the womb without exception. More importantly, we must stop blaspheming God by the celebration of false religion and of other grave sins in public life that bring down nothing but chaos r into the souls of men and thus in society as a whole.
Catholics never participate in any kind of "interfaith prayer services" as such are hideous in the sight of the true God of Divine Revelation, the Most Blessed Trinity. Never. Not ever. You will never see me at any kind of "prayer service" that places a Successor of the Apostle on equal terms with men who deny the Catholic Faith entirely or in part. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the only
place where true and eternal consolation will be found for the dead and
those who mourn them. And it is from the Mass that we will receive the
graces to pray for the conversion of those who call down upon
themselves the blood of the innocent and who thereby put the entire
country in greater jeopardy from attacks from without and from within.
May Our Lady, the Mirror of Justice, pray for
us so that we will be fortified in this Mass to remember the dead
always in our prayers, and to understand our obligation to prevent
further blood from being shed in our own land. God is merciful. However,
He is also just.
We cannot guarantee that a fidelity to God's
laws will keep us secure from attacks leveled against us by terrorists
bent on destruction. However, a Catholic does know with certainty that
fidelity to God's laws is the surest way to save his soul, and thus to
plant the seeds for a world where everyone lives in the shadow of the
Holy Cross for the glory of Christ the King and Mary our Queen as we keep close her through her Most Holy Rosary.
Sean O'Malley could not speak in such terms as he is not a Catholic.
Enough of you, Sean O'Malley.
The remarks of the next two speakers can be discussed jointly as they are joined at the hips ideological as statist merchants of evil. The two speakers are Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and President Barack Hussein Obama:
In my faith tradition, scripture teaches: “In every thing give thanks.” (I Thessalonians 5:18) That isn’t always easy to do. On Monday afternoon, I wasn’t feeling it. What I felt, what so many of us felt then, was shock and confusion and anger.
But the nature of faith, I think, is learning to return to the lessons even when they don’t make sense, when they defy logic. And as I returned to those lessons this week, I found a few things to be thankful for. (Full text of Patrick’s remarks.)
All right, all right. Even though it is 2:44 a.m. on Friday, April 19, 2013, I am going to interject briefly here:
INSANITY!
Yes, we give thanks for every cross that the good God sends our way, recognizing that our sins deserve more punishment that He in His mercy sees fit to send us and that the graces won for us by His Divine Son on the wood of the Holy Cross and that flow into our hearts and souls through the loving hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces, are more than sufficient to bear with joy and gratitude each cross that comes our way.
You can't understand what happened on Monday?
Contraception.
Abortion.
Sodomy.
Statism.
RomneyCare (and, by the way, former Massachusetts Governor Willard Mitt Romney, who was a complete pro-abort in his one term as governor, was in attendance at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross yesterday in Boston, Massachusetts, as were other former Republican Governors of Massachusetts and pro-aborts William Weld and Jane Swift and a Democrat former Governor, the pro-abort, pro-Sodomite Michael S. "M-1" Dukakis, who was enabled by the Orthodox clergy and by many conciliar clergy just as much as the Kennedy clan has been by the conciliar revolutionaries).
Did you ever read what happened to the cities of Sodom and Gommorha, Deval?
Well, enough of Deval Patrick's injurious babbling as the rest of his remarks were expressions of gratitude to Thomas Menino and the emergency workers.
Deval Patrick was only the warm-up, however, to the principal liturgical presider representing Antichrist yesterday at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Barack Hussein Obama:
Obama: Hello, Boston. Scripture tells us to run with endurance the race that is set before us, run with endurance the race that is set before us. On Monday morning, the sun rose over Boston, the sunlight glistened off the State House Dome. In the Common, in the Public Garden, spring was in bloom.
On this Patriot's Day, like so many before, fans jumped onto the T to see the Sox at Fenway. In Hopkinton, runners laced up their shoes and set out on a 26.2-mile test of dedication and grit and the human spirit. And across this city, hundreds of thousands of Bostonians lined the streets to hand the runners cups of water and to cheer them on.
It was a beautiful day to be in Boston, a day that explains why a poet once wrote that this town is not just a capital, not just a place. Boston, he said, is the perfect state of grace.
And then, in an instant, the day's beauty was shattered. A celebration became a tragedy. And so we come together to pray and mourn and measure our loss, but we also come together today to reclaim that state of grace, to reaffirm that the spirit of this city is undaunted and the spirit of this country shall remain undimmed. (Remarks by the Caesar at Interfaith Service in Boston, Massachusetts.)
Yes, an interjection. Sorry.
Running the race that is set before us?
What is the goal of that race, Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro?
To gain Heaven by dying in a state of Sanctifying Grace as a member of the Catholic Church.
State of grace?
Blasphemy.
Back to Caesar:
To Governor Patrick, Mayor Menino, Cardinal O'Malley, and all the faith leaders who are here, Governors Romney, Swift, Weld, and Dukakis, members of Congress, and most of all, the people of Boston and the families who've lost a piece of your heart, we thank you for your leadership, we thank you for your courage, we thank you for your grace.
I'm here today on behalf of the American people with a simple message: Every one of us has been touched by this attack on your beloved city. Every one of us stands with you. (Remarks by the Caesar at Interfaith Service in Boston, Massachusetts.)
You do not stand with the victims of the American genocide. Indeed, you enable this genocide of the innocent and force us to pay for it as we export the killing of the innocent by chemical and surgical means in the name of "human rights" and "women's reproductive health care."
You are blind hypocrite, Barack Hussein Obama.
Then again, who can one really blame Obama as he is truly caesar ignoramus. He knows nothing. He was raised by an atheist, Marxist-leaning mother and had as a chief influence in his life the Marxist Frank Marshall Davis in Hawaii. How is supposed to know any better.
The counterfeit church of conciliarism does seek with urgency the unconditional conversion of non-Catholics such as himself.
The counterfeit church of conciliarism rejects the Social Reign of Christ the King and made its official "reconciliation" with the principles of the "new era inaugurated in 1789" as the innocent blood of Catholics was shed so profusely to build a supposedly "better"world.
Who has been the face of Catholicism to Barack Hussein Obama, a man who knows nothing about First and Last Things and is even more of a cliche-driven sloganeer than the war-mongering, spendthrift who proceeded him in the White House, George Walker Bush?
"Father" Michael Plfeger.
Joseph "Cardinal" Bernardin, whose Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of Chicago paid for Barack Hussein Obama's airfare to attend a conference to train him in the "community organizing" ways of Saul Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation (see Conciliar Church Paid for Obama to Take Alinsky Training).
Those have been the "Catholic" voices he remembers best and cherishes most. His "Catholic problem," as he sees it, is caused by "Republican-leaning" Catholic clergy, not by his own nefarious policies that are in contravention of the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law.
There is no need to dwell on the rest of the currently reigning caesar's remarks as they are hideous and merely repetitive of the blasphemies that were uttered by the speakers before he made up into the sanctuary of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, being interrupted a number of times for applause, something that is very common in the course of Protestant and Masonic Novus Ordo liturgies.
This is why it can be said that the worst speaker at yesterday's "interfaith prayer service" was Sean O'Malley as he, a conciliarist of the first order, challenged no one to convert and to embrace the Catholic Faith and to quit the promotion of sin under cover of the civil law and as a "human law" to be promoted and celebrated in the popular culture with a spirit of wanton abandon.
Yesterday's entire travesty was condemned in no uncertain terms by Pope Pius XI in Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928, which reiterated the perennial Catholic teaching forbidding all "interreligious" prayer services:
10. So, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never
allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics: for the
union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true
Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have
unhappily left it. To the one true Church of Christ, we say, which is visible to
all, and which is to remain, according to the will of its Author, exactly the
same as He instituted it. During the lapse of centuries, the mystical Spouse of
Christ has never been contaminated, nor can she ever in the future be
contaminated, as Cyprian bears witness: "The Bride of Christ cannot be made
false to her Spouse: she is incorrupt and modest. She knows but one dwelling,
she guards the sanctity of the nuptial chamber chastely and modestly."[20] The
same holy Martyr with good reason marveled exceedingly that anyone could believe
that "this unity in the Church which arises from a divine foundation, and which
is knit together by heavenly sacraments, could be rent and torn asunder by the
force of contrary wills."[21] For since the mystical body of Christ, in the same
manner as His physical body, is one,[22] compacted and fitly joined
together,[23] it were foolish and out of place to say that the mystical body is
made up of members which are disunited and scattered abroad: whosoever therefore
is not united with the body is no member of it, neither is he in communion with
Christ its head.[24] (Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928.)
The Holy Office of the Inquisition reaffirmed Pope Pius XI's reiteration of the ban on "interreligious" prayer meetings and services twenty years later, in 1948:
WARNING
Mixed
gatherings of non-Catholics with Catholics have been reportedly held in
various places, where things pertaining to the Faith have been
discussed against the prescriptions of the Sacred Canons and without
previous permission of the Holy See. Therefore all are reminded that
according to the norm of Canon 1325 § 3 laypeople as well as clerics
both secular and regular are forbidden to attend these gatherings
without the aforesaid permission. It is however much less licit for
Catholics to summon and institute such kind of gatherings. Let therefore
Ordinaries urge all to serve these prescriptions accurately.
These
are to be observed with even stronger force of law when it comes to
gatherings called “ecumenical”, which laypeople and clerics may not
attend at all without previous consent of the Holy See.
Moreover, since acts of mixed worship have also been
posed not rarely both within and without the aforesaid gatherings, all
are once more warned that any communication in sacred affairs is totally
forbidden according to the norm of Canons 1258 and 731, § 2.
Given at Rome, at the premises of the Holy Office, on June 5th 1948. (This was translated by those who run Novus Ordo Watch. See The Holy Office's 1948 Canonical Warning against Ecumenical Gatherings.)
No one who spoke yesterday accepted the truths stated above. They also do not understand the following "hard" truths that a Catholic will never tire of repeating.
First, God wills our good, the ultimate expression of which is salvation of our immortal souls as members of His Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be, as recent events keep proving, no true social order. We are not self-redemptive.
Second, no one loves or cares for another authentically if he says or does anything, whether by omission or commission, that interferes in any way with the sanctification and salvation of his immortal soul. Any other kind of "love" is nothing other than disordered self-love, disordered attachment to creatures based in sentimentality, not a true love of God as He has revealed Himself to us through His Catholic Church.
Third, it is scandalous that Sean O'Malley , mentioned nothing about the very instrument upon which God showed the depths of His love for us, the Holy Cross, from which He shed every single drop of His Most Precious Blood to redeem us, even though he spoke from a lectern in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. How can the blind see unless they are helped?
Fourth, it was also scandalous that Sean O'Malley did not explain that there is nothing that any of us can suffer, not even the terrible tragedy that took place in Boston, Massachusetts, four days ago now is the equal of what one of our least Venial Sins did to Our Lord in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion Death and that caused His Most Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart to be pierced through and through with Swords of Sorrow.
Fifth, is gravely scandalous and a supreme offense to Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ that Sean O'Malley did not explain that Our Lady stands by the foot of the crosses being borne by the relatives and friends of the deceased and the wounded at this time, that she holds them in the crossing of her arms and in the folds of her mantle, that she wants them to fly unto her through her Most Holy Rosary and by means of True Devotion to her as taught by Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort.
Ah, a conciliar clergyman does not do such things at "interfaith prayer vigils," and therein lies one of the devil's greatest triumphs as he whispers into the ears of those who have a stage to refrain from being Catholic in order to appeal to "people of all faiths," especially by refusing to acknowledge the the truth that the Catholic Church is the one and only true Church and by refusing even to mention the Holy Cross or the Holy Name of Mary, at whose mere mention the devil must take flight.
Conciliarists claim to be members of the Catholic Church. Yet it is that, having been formed in the abyss of error into which they have plunged themselves, they reaffirm others in every error imaginable, choosing to prefer silence over a clear profession of the truths of the true Faith that they say they accept.
Then again, that is the point: These men simply are not Catholic, and thus it is that the likes of the products of Protestant and Talmudic and Mohammedan and other errors who spoke yesterday morning, including Obama/Soetoro himself, are considered to be "leaders" to whom people look for "comfort" and "support" in times of tragedies that are caused in large measure by the proliferation of error over seven centuries now, especially during these past decades as the sacramentally barren rites of conciliarism have dried up the well-springs of Sanctifying and Actual Grace.
While we continue to pray for the happy repose of the souls of those killed in this most recent tragedy and for the needs of their relatives and for the recovery of those wounded and their own families and friend, once again taking nothing at all away from the terrible grief and anguish that so many people have experienced, we must remember that Our Lord will not be mocked. A country that rejects His Social Reign over men and their nations is destined for the dust bin of history.
Yes, this era of apostasy will
pass. When it does, my friends, rest assured that it will be the
working of the same Blessed Mother who brought forth her only Child at
Midnight in Bethlehem in piercing cold, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. Her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart will triumph over the
apostasies and sacrileges and blasphemies and errors of the moment just
as that same Immaculate Heart of Mary was so filled with joy at the time
of the Nativity of her Son, Christ the King.
We need to resolve now and always to pray as many
Rosaries each day as our state-in-life permits and as we seek to make
reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was formed out of
her own Immaculate Heart, for our own sins and those of the whole world, praying fervently for all those so steeped in error including the lords of Modernity in the world and of Modernism in the counterfeit church of concilairism.
Let us keep close to Our Lady and Saint Joseph in
this Octave of the Solemnity of Saint Joseph in Paschaltide as we ask them to protect us from the minions
of Modernity and Modernism who are, yes, each in their own way, serving
to accomplish the will of God now just as much as had Caesar Augustus
over two millennia ago, praying fervently for the conversion
Viva Cristo Rey! Vivat Christus Rex!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.
Saint Joseph, pray for us.
Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.
Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.
Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us.
Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
Saint Gabriel the Archangel, pray for us.
Saint Raphael the Archangel, pray for us.
Saints Joachim and Anne, pray for us.
Saints Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, pray for us.
