Little Caesars All (Pizza, Pizza)

Thomas A. Droleskey
Men may come and men may go, because God has left plenty of room for the to and fro of their free-will; but the substantial lines of nature and the not less substantial lines of Eternal Law have never changed, are not changing and never will change. There are bounds beyond which one may stray as far as one sees fit, but to do so ends in death; there are limits which empty philosophical fantasizing may have one mock or not take seriously, but they put together an alliance of hard facts and nature to chastise anybody who steps over them. And history has sufficiently taught, with frightening proof from the life and death of nations, that the reply to all violators of the outline of "humanity" is always, sooner or later, catastrophe.
From the dialectic of Hegel onwards, we have had dinned in our ears what are nothing but fables, and by dint of hearing them so often, many people end up by getting used to them, if only passively. But the truth of the matter is that Nature and Truth, and the Law bound up in both, go their imperturbable way, and they cut to pieces the simpletons who upon no grounds whatsoever believe in radical and far-reaching changes in the very structure of man.
The consequences of such violations are not a new outline of man, but disorders, hurtful instability of all kinds, the frightening dryness of human souls, the shattering increase in the number of human castaways, driven long since out of people's sight and mind to live out their decline in boredom, sadness and rejection. Aligned on the wrecking of the eternal norms are to be found the broken families, lives cut short before their time, hearths and homes gone cold, old people cast to one side, youngsters willfully degenerate and -- at the end of the line -- souls in despair and taking their own lives. All of which human wreckage gives witness to the fact that the "line of God" does not give way, nor does it admit of any adaption to the delirious dreams of the so-called philosophers! (Giuseppe Cardinal Siri,
Men's Dress Worn By Women.)
These words, written by the the late Giuseppe Cardinal Siri, who was the Archbishop of Genoa, Italy, from May 29, 1946, to July 6, 1987, have been cited on this site (pun intended) several times in the past few years. Nevertheless, you see, the late Cardinal Siri's words are useful once again to illustrate the fact that the overthrow of the Social Reign of Christ the King wrought by the Protestant Revolution and institutionalized by the forces of Judeo-Masonry have raised up a new governing class of "caesars," men and women who believe that they are laws unto themselves and that they can do whatever it is they want to do in their own personal lives and in their duties as holders of public office, whether elected or appointed.
It is certainly the case that many of our lord presidents have believed themselves to be laws unto themselves. Examples of this? The amorality of Andrew Jackson with respect to the forcible removal of the Cherokee Nation from Georgia to Oklahoma, the misuse of the power of the Federal government of the United States of America by Abraham Lincoln, the repression of dissent by Thomas Woodrow Wilson (a practiced used also by John Adams and Abraham Lincoln), the investigation of enemies and protection of friends by Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson (see how Johnson sought to protected longtime aide Bobby Baker, LBJ and the Bobby Baker Scandal) and Richard Milhous Nixon. And William Jefferson Blythe Clinton? This "caesar" acted as though he was the law, using the state police in Arkansas to aid him in his acts of immorality and then to intimidate witnesses thereafter, using the presidency as his own personal plaything to do with as he pleased (Chinagate, Monicagate, Pardongate).
It is certainly the case that the lord president of the United States of America, Caesar Obamus, believes that he is a law above all other laws, supporting and suborning the daily slaughter of the innocent preborn under cover of the civil law in this country and around the world.
It is certainly the case that his lord vice president, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and the lady speaker, Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi, both of whom are Catholics, believe that they are laws unto themselves, that they can defy the solemn teaching authority of the Catholic Church with utter impunity. (See
Memo to Joseph Biden and Nancy Pelosi and Their Conciliar Enablers,
Fact and Fiction, and
Naughty, Naughty, Nancy.)
It is certainly the case that, as noted two days ago in Aborting Reality, the lord chief executive officers of multinational corporations believe that they are laws unto themselves.
It is certainly the case that the lord commissioner of baseball, Allan H. "Bud" Selig, believes himself to be a law above all others, telling a reporter that "I can do whatever I want to do" when being questioned a loan he extended from baseball's central fund to the then owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks Jerry Colangelo earlier this decade. (Selig believes himself to be a law above all others on almost any subject, including his forcing the late Mrs. Marge Schott, who owned the Cincinnati Reds between 1984 and 1999, to sell the team after she was goaded into making racially insensitive comments to a Sports Illustrated reporter while taking no public action against Ted Turner, who, as stockholder in the Time-Warner corporation that owned the Atlanta Braves that he once owned outright between 1976 and 1996, after the founder of Turner Broadcasting and the Cable News Network made insulting comments about Catholics.)
It is certainly the case that many of the lord governors and lord mayors and lord county executives and even the lord sheriffs of our states and municipalities believe that they are laws unto themselves. These "little caesars," if you will, get drunk with their own power and prestige, forgetting that they are but mere mortals who did not create themselves and whose bodies are destined one day for the corruption of the grave until the General Judgment of the Living and the Dead on the Last Day.
One can think of the likes of the late Mayor of the City of New York, James John "Jimmy" Walker, who presided over a system of police and court corruption whereby innocent citizens were dragged off of the streets by the police and charged with crimes that they did not commit. Those arrested could have the bogus charges against them dropped if they paid what were, in effect, bribes. This system of organized extortion was exposed by the Seabury Commission, before which my own paternal grandfather, Detective Sergeant Edward Martin Droleskey of the New York City Police Department, testified.
One can think also of the likes in recent times of the impeached and convicted former Governor of the State of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, who will stand trial in Federal court soon for attempting to sell the United States Senate seat that was held by Caesar Obamus (aka Barack Hussein Obama, aka Barry Obama, aka Barry Sotero), to the highest bidder. (See
Meet George Jetson and
Folding Like Cheap Cameras.) Other governors of Illinois who have gone to jail include Otto Kerner, Daniel Walker, and George Ryan. (For a list of other state governors who have gone to jail in recent decades, see Illinois' Legacy Of Corruption: Three Ex-Governors Jailed.)
One can also, of course, of Elliot Spitzer, who was Governor of the State of New York between January 1, 2007, and March 17, 2008, who treated the civil law with contempt as he consorted with women of ill repute on a regular basis and as he referred to himself in obscene, vulgar terms as a "steamroller" who would run over his opponents, going so far as to look the other way as members of the New York State Police conducted investigations on his political opponents, especially then State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, who would up being convicted of corruption charges in his own right on December 7, 2009. Spitzer's arrogance in the face of the evidence that was presented against him took the breath away from even some of his most hardened supporters (see
Darkened Souls Can Be Made White As Snow).
It is, therefore, no wonder at all that Elliot Spitzer's successor, David Paterson, a pro-abortion, pro-perversity Catholic who is in perfectly "good standing" in the structures of the counterfeit church of conciliarism, now finds himself caught in a vortex of lies concerning his own efforts and those on the part of the New York State Police to seek to convince the victim of an assault by one of his most trusted aides, a man named David Johnson who has a history of domestic violence, into not pursuing court charges against the aide. Paterson, who admitted upon becoming governor nearly two years ago now that he had been a serial adulterer and had used cocaine in the past, has come under a fierce assault from even some of his closest friends and supporters. It's a pretty bad sign for a black politician in trouble in New York when the snake-oil salesman known as Al Sharpton (Al Sharpton: The Democrat's David Duke), a Paterson ally, is not rushing to his defense.
David Paterson is legally blind. He is more morally and spiritually blind than his eyesight is legally blind, however. He has a history of telling one lie after another, going so far as to try to discredit the state of the equally pro-abortion and pro-perversity Catholic Mrs. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg's marriage when she was under consideration in late-2008 to be selected by Paterson as the successor to then United States Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who had been chosen by then President-elect Barack Hussein Obama to serve as the Secretary of State of the United States of America (New York Governor David Paterson Hammered By Media). Also involved the Kennedy-Schlossberg fiasco was a former conciliar presbyter, Charles O'Bryne, who had officiated at John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s Novus Ordo wedding and funeral services in, respectively, 1996 and 1999, who left the conciliar presbyterate upon announcing to the world that he was possessed of perverse inclinations, thereafter becoming a senior aide and enforcer to David Paterson. Ah, the world of conciliar deceits (see The Zany Adventures of [Senator] Caroline Kennedy, page 3).
The story of David Johnson's assault on the woman with whom he was sinning demonstrates the extent of the corruption found in the office of the Governor of the State of New York and in the state police itself, several of whose officers, including Major Charles Day, the head of Paterson's own state police security detail, stand accused of harassing and intimidating Johnson's victim from pursuing her court cases against him.
Paterson's own interference in the matter, which was precipitated when his office asked Johnson's victim to telephone him, is probably an impeachable offense in the State of New York. And, given the absurdity of naturalistic politics in the United States of America, the man who has been charged with investigating this abuse of power is none other than the pro-abortion Catholic named Andrew Cuomo, the Attorney General of the State of New York who was poised to challenge Paterson for the Democratic Party nomination for governor this year, a challenge that has now been rendered moot by Paterson's defiant announcement just moments ago as of this writing that he is not seeking his party's gubernatorial nomination after all.
Here is a brief account of Paterson's woes as found in The New York Times, which has done the principal reporting on this matter:
Last fall, a woman went to court in the Bronx to testify that she had been violently assaulted by a top aide to Gov. David A. Paterson, and to seek a protective order against the man.
In the ensuing months, she returned to court twice to press her case, complaining that the State Police had been harassing her to drop it. The State Police, which had no jurisdiction in the matter, confirmed that the woman was visited by a member of the governor’s personal security detail.
Then, just before she was due to return to court to seek a final protective order, the woman got a phone call from the governor, according to her lawyer. She failed to appear for her next hearing on Feb. 8, and as a result her case was dismissed.
Many details of the governor’s role in this episode are unclear, but the accounts presented in court and police records and interviews with the woman’s lawyer and others portray a brutal encounter, a frightened woman and an effort to make a potential political embarrassment go away.
The case involved David W. Johnson, 37, who had risen from working as Mr. Paterson’s driver and scheduler to serving in the most senior ranks of the administration, but who also had a history of altercations with women.
On Wednesday night, in response to inquiries from The New York Times, Mr. Paterson said in a statement that he would request that Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo investigate his administration’s handling of the matter. The governor also said he would suspend Mr. Johnson without pay. Through a spokesman, Mr. Paterson said the call actually took place the day before the scheduled court hearing and maintained that the woman had initiated it. He declined to answer further questions about his role in the matter.
The woman’s lawyer, Lawrence B. Saftler, said that the conversation lasted about a minute and that the governor asked how she was doing and if there was anything he could do for her. “If you need me,” he said, according to Mr. Saftler, “I’m here for you.”
Mr. Saftler said the governor never mentioned the court case, but he would not say if the call had influenced her decision not to return to court.
The call also came as The Times was examining the background of Mr. Johnson, whose increasing influence with the governor had disturbed some current and former senior aides to Mr. Paterson.
The woman’s lawyer asked that she not be identified by name because she feared retaliation, in part because she works at a public hospital.
The alleged assault happened shortly before 8 p.m. on Halloween in the apartment she had shared with Mr. Johnson and her 13-year-old son for about four years, according to police records.
She told the police that Mr. Johnson, who is 6-foot-7, had choked her, stripped her of much of her clothing, smashed her against a mirrored dresser and taken two telephones from her to prevent her from calling for help, according to police records.
The woman was twice granted a temporary order of protection against Mr. Johnson, according to the proceedings in Family Court in the Bronx.
“I’m scared he’s going to come back,” she said, according to the proceedings, in which a court referee at the initial hearing noted bruises on the woman’s arm.
“I’m glad you’re doing this,” the woman told the referee, “because I thought it was going to be swept under the table because he’s like a government official, and I have problems even calling the police because the state troopers kept calling me and harassing me to drop the charges, and I wouldn’t.”
She added, “I’ve never been through this before.”
Two days later, the woman was back in Family Court, and the order of protection was kept in place. And she again asserted that she had been pressured by the State Police.
“The State Police contacted me because they didn’t want me to get an order of protection or press charges or anything,” she told the court.
The State Police superintendent, Harry J. Corbitt, said he was told of the episode within 24 hours after it occurred. He confirmed that a state police officer had met with the woman, even though the episode occurred in the jurisdiction of the New York Police Department. He said the visit was made only to tell the woman of her options, including seeking counseling. (In Paterson Aide's Abuse Case, Question of Influence.)
A senior Paterson administration official, Denise O'Donnell, who was the New York State Commissioner of Criminal Justice Services and Assistant Secretary to the Governor for Criminal Justice until yesterday, Thursday, February 25, 2010, resigned her position in protest over the misleading answers that had been given to her by the superintendent of the New York State Police, Harry J. Corbitt
The governor’s top criminal justice adviser, Denise E. O’Donnell, resigned, saying it was “unacceptable” that Mr. Paterson and the State Police had made contact with a woman who was seeking an order of protection against the aide, and that she could not “in good conscience” remain in the administration. (Paterson Weighs Race as Top Aide Quits in Protest)
The New York Daily News and the New York Post have both editorialized for David Paterson to follow the example of his disgraced predecessor, Elliot Spitzer, by resigning from the highest elected office in the State of New York. Here is an excerpt from the Daily News editorial
Like most New Yorkers, the Daily News greeted David Paterson's ascension to the governorship with best wishes and fervent hope for success in endeavors suddenly assumed. Today, just shy of two years later, we urge Paterson to step down immediately.
It is clear that the governor tolerated domestic abuse accusations against his closest confidante, and there is a suggestion that he joined state troopers in a campaign of witness tampering to shield the aide from prosecution.
In either case, Paterson has given cause to doubt his word and his judgment, breaking a fundamental bond with the public - the bond of trust.
Having demeaned his high office, having exposed a character flaw that plays out as a truth deficit, Paterson is punchline rather than punch. He does not have the capacity to confront the state's economic challenges. (http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/editorials)
Yes, indeed, those in positions of power who tolerate or minimize serious accusations made against their closest confidantes do wind up getting themselves in trouble, don't they? David Paterson has gotten himself in trouble by protecting a violent, profane reprobate by the name of David Johnson. Little Caesars all. Pizza! Pizza!
Each of us is a sinner. Each of us is prone to make bad judgments now and again. It is part of fallen human nature, to be sure, to seek to protect one's friends. Granted. That is why Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ gave us the Sacrament of Penance as He wants to shower upon us the merits He won for us on the wood of the Holy Cross by the shedding of every single drop of His Most Precious Blood through the ministration of an alter Christus acting in persona Christi. To receive Our Lord's Absolution we must be contrite for our sins because they offend God, Who art all good and deserving of all our live, we must confess each of our Mortal Sins, if any, by kind and number, and we must have a firm purpose of amendment. And apart from completing the penance assigned to us by a priest as the condition for the Absolution imparted upon us in any particular confession, of course, we must live penitentially as we seek to make reparation for our sins and those of the whole world. There is no better way to do this than to surrender our entire liberty by becoming a totally consecrated slave of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through His Most Blessed Mother's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, praying as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit.
It is also true, however, that one inclines oneself to sin all the more when one sins unrepentantly and when one seeks to promote sin under cover of the civil law and suborns it in the lives of others. David Paterson, apart from supporting baby-killing and perversity under cover of the civil law, is seen frequently in public in the company of women other than his wife. He has lied repeatedly in his official capacity as governor of the State of New York. He has, it turns out, sought to try to get a trusted aide out of trouble by misusing the state police and his powers as governor. One thing leads to another. And, without, of course, judging the subjective state of David Paterson's immortal soul, which is known to God alone, the objective truth of the matter is that men such as David Paterson who are steeped in unrepentant sins, including those that cry out for Heaven for vengeance, will descend into an abyss of personal corruption as they cannot even keep track of the lies that they told.
David Paterson's case is compounded by his being not particularly bright, meaning that he thinks up his lies on the spur of the moment without even remembering what lies he had told in the past that might contradict his current lies. Even some of his closest political allies have noted that Paterson does not show up for work regularly, that he carouses in nightclubs and spends an inordinate amount of money in high-priced restaurants. He is not even serious on a naturalistic level about the process of governing the State of New York. A man steeped in such uncontrolled and disordered self-indulgence and of limited intelligence winds up destroying himself in full view of others. (William Jefferson Blythe Clinton, possessing more native intelligence and thus a better ability to wax arrogant in the face of accusations, has managed to plough ahead throughout his career, a feat that he will not be able to pull off at the moment of his Particular Judgment if he does not repent of his ways and convert to the true Faith, Catholicism, before he dies.)
Here is just one example of Paterson's tendency to defy logic and truth:
Lobbyists, strategists and business leaders in Albany were left scratching their heads by Paterson's leadership style.
During talks about industrial-development policy, the governor slipped an overhaul proposal to some labor groups -- then went to business big shots and loudly bashed all the suggestions that had come from his own office, said a source involved with the process. (Paterson's aides tell of gov's laziness, tantrums and deceits.)
One's personal inclination to sin as a result of his fallen human nature and of own unrepentant sins is made even worse in our world today by the prevalence of sin under cover of the civil law and in every aspect of our popular culture. A world of naturalism and religious indifferentism and moral relativism winds up producing men who are so spiritually and morally blind that they fall rapidly into the abyss, thereby staining public life with their crimes. Popes Gregory XVI and Leo XIII explained this very succinctly in encyclical letters sixty-eight years apart from each others:
This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone. It spreads ruin in sacred and civil affairs, though some repeat over and over again with the greatest impudence that some advantage accrues to religion from it. "But the death of the soul is worse than freedom of error," as Augustine was wont to say. When all restraints are removed by which men are kept on the narrow path of truth, their nature, which is already inclined to evil, propels them to ruin. Then truly "the bottomless pit" is open from which John saw smoke ascending which obscured the sun, and out of which locusts flew forth to devastate the earth. Thence comes transformation of minds, corruption of youths, contempt of sacred things and holy laws -- in other words, a pestilence more deadly to the state than any other. Experience shows, even from earliest times, that cities renowned for wealth, dominion, and glory perished as a result of this single evil, namely immoderate freedom of opinion, license of free speech, and desire for novelty. (Pope Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos, August 15, 1832.)
God alone is Life. All other beings partake of life, but are not life. Christ, from all eternity and by His very nature, is "the Life," just as He is the Truth, because He is God of God. From Him, as from its most sacred source, all life pervades and ever will pervade creation. Whatever is, is by Him; whatever lives, lives by Him. For by the Word "all things were made; and without Him was made nothing that was made." This is true of the natural life; but, as We have sufficiently indicated above, we have a much higher and better life, won for us by Christ's mercy, that is to say, "the life of grace," whose happy consummation is "the life of glory," to which all our thoughts and actions ought to be directed. The whole object of Christian doctrine and morality is that "we being dead to sin, should live to justice" (I Peter ii., 24)-that is, to virtue and holiness. In this consists the moral life, with the certain hope of a happy eternity. This justice, in order to be advantageous to salvation, is nourished by Christian faith. "The just man liveth by faith" (Galatians iii., II). "Without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews xi., 6). Consequently Jesus Christ, the creator and preserver of faith, also preserves and nourishes our moral life. This He does chiefly by the ministry of His Church. To Her, in His wise and merciful counsel, He has entrusted certain agencies which engender the supernatural life, protect it, and revive it if it should fail. This generative and conservative power of the virtues that make for salvation is therefore lost, whenever morality is dissociated from divine faith. A system of morality based exclusively on human reason robs man of his highest dignity and lowers him from the supernatural to the merely natural life. Not but that man is able by the right use of reason to know and to obey certain principles of the natural law. But though he should know them all and keep them inviolate through life-and even this is impossible without the aid of the grace of our Redeemer-still it is vain for anyone without faith to promise himself eternal salvation. "If anyone abide not in Me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up and cast him into the fire, and he burneth" john xv., 6). "He that believeth not shall be condemned" (Mark xvi., 16). We have but too much evidence of the value and result of a morality divorced from divine faith. How is it that, in spite of all the zeal for the welfare of the masses, nations are in such straits and even distress, and that the evil is daily on the increase? We are told that society is quite able to help itself; that it can flourish without the assistance of Christianity, and attain its end by its own unaided efforts. Public administrators prefer a purely secular system of government. All traces of the religion of our forefathers are daily disappearing from political life and administration. What blindness! Once the idea of the authority of God as the Judge of right and wrong is forgotten, law must necessarily lose its primary authority and justice must perish: and these are the two most powerful and most necessary bonds of society. Similarly, once the hope and expectation of eternal happiness is taken away, temporal goods will be greedily sought after. Every man will strive to secure the largest share for himself. Hence arise envy, jealousy, hatred. The consequences are conspiracy, anarchy, nihilism. There is neither peace abroad nor security at home. Public life is stained with crime. (Pope Leo XIII, Tametsi Futura Prospicientibus, November 1, 1900.)
While it is true that some of the civil leaders during the era of Christendom in the Middle Ages abused their powers and were also morally corrupt, each of them understand, sometimes a little dimly, to be sure, that they were going to have to account for their actions at the moment of their Particular Judgments. There is no such sense of a dread of the Particular Judgment to be found in the likes of men such as David Paterson. And even the man who is investigating him, Andrew Cuomo, comes from a family political background of defying the binding precepts of the Divine Positive Law and the Natural Law with arrogance and hubris. Oh, perhaps you have heard of his father, Mario Matthew Cuomo? (Mario Pilate, Pontius Cuomo)
Perhaps it is wise once again to turn to the words of Giuseppe Cardinal Siri for a very good description of some of the proximate reasons that have produced the little caesars in the world who abuse their powers to aggrandize themselves
Men may come and men may go, because God has left plenty of room for the to and fro of their free-will; but the substantial lines of nature and the not less substantial lines of Eternal Law have never changed, are not changing and never will change. There are bounds beyond which one may stray as far as one sees fit, but to do so ends in death; there are limits which empty philosophical fantasizing may have one mock or not take seriously, but they put together an alliance of hard facts and nature to chastise anybody who steps over them. And history has sufficiently taught, with frightening proof from the life and death of nations, that the reply to all violators of the outline of "humanity" is always, sooner or later, catastrophe.
From the dialectic of Hegel onwards, we have had dinned in our ears what are nothing but fables, and by dint of hearing them so often, many people end up by getting used to them, if only passively. But the truth of the matter is that Nature and Truth, and the Law bound up in both, go their imperturbable way, and they cut to pieces the simpletons who upon no grounds whatsoever believe in radical and far-reaching changes in the very structure of man.
The consequences of such violations are not a new outline of man, but disorders, hurtful instability of all kinds, the frightening dryness of human souls, the shattering increase in the number of human castaways, driven long since out of people's sight and mind to live out their decline in boredom, sadness and rejection. Aligned on the wrecking of the eternal norms are to be found the broken families, lives cut short before their time, hearths and homes gone cold, old people cast to one side, youngsters willfully degenerate and -- at the end of the line -- souls in despair and taking their own lives. All of which human wreckage gives witness to the fact that the "line of God" does not give way, nor does it admit of any adaption to the delirious dreams of the so-called philosophers! (Giuseppe Cardinal Siri, Men's Dress Worn By Women.)
While we pray for poor, pitiable men such as David Paterson, we must be aware of of our need to make reparation for our own sins that have so wounded the Church Militant on earth and the world-at-large. This is something that we must face with brutal honesty every day of our lives, especially during this holy season of Lent, which is why we must be careful to try to make some time to spend in prayer before Our Lord in His Real Presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament (understanding that not everyone reading this article has ready access to Our Lord's Real Presence) and to pray as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit.
Everything that God permits to happen us is meant to be used to give Him honor and glory through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. None of us knows how much even one of our least Venial Sins caused Our Lord to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion and Death and caused His Most Blessed Mother's Immaculate Heart to suffer as It was pierced through and through with those Seven Swords of Sorrow. We must consider it a great privilege and a great mercy from God Himself to be able to suffer in reparation for our sins and those of the whole world. It could just be that our patient endurance of suffering and humiliation and calumny will be used by Our Lady as the means to convert the most hardened of sinners, men such as David Paterson.
We must remember that the forces we are not fighting earthly powers. The likes of the little caesars who are in civil office today are merely earthly manifestations of the forces of darkness that have enveloped large parts of the world after first enveloping large numbers of souls. Saint Paul warns us to fight these forces of darkness in our own lives lest we be overcome by them:
Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: (Ephesians 6: 11-15.)
We may not live to see the fruit of our efforts to plant the seeds for the conversion of men and their nations to the Catholic Church in our own lifetimes. However, the seeds that we plant now might, please God and with Our Lady's maternal intercession, flower in the vanquishing of the lies of Modernity in the world and Modernism in the counterfeit church of conciliarism once and for all.
Isn't it time to pray a Rosary now so that we can make a "power grab" of our own in behalf of the conversion of men and nations to the Social Reign of Christ the King?
