consecration of Russia

Some thoughts on the fake consecration of Russia about to take place tomorrow

As most Catholics will no doubt have heard, Bergoglio will allegedly consecrate Russia tomorrow the 25th of March, the Feast of the Annunciation, at 6:30 P.M. CET, I presume.

News broke on the 15th of March and I first heard of it from Kennedy Hall of the YouTube channel "The Meaning of Catholic". I believe he also does work for the Fatima Center.

Here was my immediate reaction after receiving the link from a friend:

If Bergoglio consecrates Russia and Ukraine then I am not sure it will be a valid response to the request. In fact, I fail to see how it can be.

I don't really know what's so difficult about doing what Our Lady asked. 

Russia means Russia, not Russia and Ukraine, not Russia and the world, not the world. 

Given that there are so many questions surrounding Bergoglio he is definitely not the right man to be doing this, but then again, God works in mysterious ways.

As my comments indicated, I was open to the possibility of Bergoglio actually consecrating Russia even though I have grave doubts about the man's character, Catholicity and office. I should have learned by now to never assume anything Bergoglio does is devoid of evil intentions.

As few days later, on the 21st of March, I learned of Bergoglio's intention to reform the Roman Curia, in essence abolishing it. He wishes to open up the Roman Curia to lay people, destroying what is at the very least proximate to Apostolic Tradition in the process. This was my reaction to that, writing in a group chat:

I commented  a while back of Bergoglio's trick of distraction and destruction in which he will distract with something which may seem Catholic one day then often within the same week do something which completely attacks the Faith.

I have now become convinced without any reasonable doubt. that the so-called Consecration of Russia is just another prop of the Bergoglio show, now in it's 10th diabolical season.

As Bergoglio has taken lessons from the secular world in distracting everyone from Covid-19 tyranny using the Ukraine crisis, Bergoglio uses the fake Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to attack the very essence of the Church hierarchy.

I have scoured my usual sources for information but nobody else but FrontLineTV seems to have picked up on it, which leads me to wonder where they got their information and whether Bergoglios bait-and-switch has worked....It turns out they got it from LifeSiteNews - their usual source.

In this short piece they explain Bergoglio's intention to reform the Roman Curia - in essense, destroy it:

The only thing we need to take home is that Bergoglio wishes to laicise the Church's hierarchy. So no longer will one have to be a bishop or even priest to head a congregation or dicastery. All of them have been demoted in terms of importance and placed under the political wing of the Vatican, which now has ultimate power.

Intention is very important in the Church's rites, rituals and Sacraments. You are going to work very hard to convince me that the same man who wants to destroy the Church's age-old structure and hierarchy cares enough about God to heed demands from Our Lady.

Even if he had done it in the manner requested - which he won't - his intention is obviously deficient.

So while Catholics are distracted with what must now be considered a fake Consecration of Russia the real story of the week from the Vatican passes by almost unnoticed.

It's classic Bergoglio and I am frankly disappointed that I didn't already conclude when I heard of the fake consecration that there would be a far worse story lurking underneath the headlines. He has done this so many times.

The good thing is that if you're been looking for dicasteries run by pink-haired Muslim lesbian transgender nuns, you might soon get lucky.

For ordinary Catholics though, this is absolutely horrible news.

It is, in essence, turning the Church's structures into just another bureaucratic arm of the U.N. agenda. 

This is the true Catholic news story of the hour, not the fake consecration which is currently garnering headlines.

The comment I had made a while back eluded to the Bergoglian tactic of saying something Catholic on Monday then something heretical by Thursday, for instance - although he normally course corrects back to heresy within the week. The semi-Catholic thing remains in the news while the Thursday statement is typically ignored.

I stand by those words. Whenever Bergoglio says something Catholic you can be sure that within a week he will say something horrendous, as this episode proved. Bergoglio is now using Our Lady as a prop in his circus act which is the Bergoglian papacy.

More proof of this was to come as the very next day, the 22nd of March, we learnt that he wasn't even going to consecrate Russia, but "humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine", to which I again responded:

So the fake consecration of Russia is not even a fake consecration of Russia and Ukraine, but of "humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine". 

Well, at least he manages to squeeze Russia in there somewhere.

So much for what I have written elsewhere thus far.

We have seen over the past 9 years of this demonic pontificate that Bergoglio has no respect for Christ, no respect for the Holy Family, no respect for Sacred Tradition, the teachings of the Church and in fact even a general God, never mind The Holy Trinity. That he would stoop so low as to invoke Our Lady as a prop to obscure the real story of the day, which is his Roman Curia reforms, makes him just as loathsome as they come. 

Yet I cannot help but see that people are spending column inches on this fake consecration of Russia which even on its face is not even that. It is difficult to understand how anybody can be fooled by...

A week of wonderful anniversaries - Sunday 8th to Saturday 14th of October

The major news this week were of course the 100th anniversary of The Miracle of the Sun at Fatima. Even I took the time to write down some thougths about this great and truly unique event.

Much was written about the Fatima anniversary, the best of which was by Roberto di Mattei on Rorate Caeli, in which he went through how 9 popes have failed to consecrate Russia ever since the Fatima apparitions.

In Poland they had a Rosary Crusade of sorts, although that particular Rosary Crusade was held in honour of the Feast of the Holy Rosary, some few days earlier. The Church in Poland encouraged the event and even senior of the governments got in on the act. It is very nice to see the Carholic faith flourishing in Poland, but I do fear that Catholicism in Poland has a nationalist strain to it which tends more to be a national marker than true discipleship. I hope I am wrong, because it would be terrible if the faith in Poland went the way of the faith in Ireland, where it seems more and more as though for the majority of the Catholics, the faith was something to mark them as not being loyal subjects of an occupying power. It's difficult to analyse the collapse post-Vatican II in any other way.

While it is always good to see Rosaries being prayed, there was a political aspect to the campain in Poland and that was the anti-immigration stance. The Rosary stations formed a perimeter around the whole country, in a symbolic gesture to the EU to leave Poland alone and stop forcing Islamisation upon it.

The aim of the Poles in wanting to protect their cultural, religious and even ethnic identity is very laudable and I very much support them in that. However, I cannot but point out that it is very hypocritical of the Poles to cry when their sovereignty is threatened while at the same time supporting the attacks on the sovereignty on others.

The truth is that Poland, according to polls, is the most pro-American country in the world. I do not have any direct memory of Poland's stance, but I would be extremely surprised, even shocked, if it was to turn out that Poland had been against any of the American misadventures in Muslim countries which have acted as the catalyst for what is commonly dubbed the "refugee crisis", a very misleading label, of course. The attacks that spring most to mind are those of Iraq, Libya and most recently Syria, although we should also remember Yemen and Afghanistan, from where many of the refugees who make it to Sweden hail, for some unkown reason.

It would be one thing if the Poles resisted for some other reason, but Poland resists, and I have to argue plays the victim card, precisely because its sovereignty was attached first by the Germans, then the Soviets and now lately the EU. Given that it is precisely soverignty, territorial and cultural integrity that the U.S. has been attacking the most, with Polands presumed backing if not encouragement, I would like to argue that the Poles have no recourse to the moral high ground in their stance against the EU. Nonetheless, I do stand with Poland on that particular issue, hypocritical as the country may be.

We had Trump repealing the contraceptive mandate, among others, from the Obama regime which came before him, something very much welcomed by all non-leftists. It is a bit of a scandal that it took so long. It was actually part of a series of administrative policies which the Trump administration took which were very encouraging. It was not all plain sailing though as they for some reason still continue to defend the homosexualisation, demoralisation and immoralisation of American society by insisting that homosexuals are a protected civil rights group as defined by the Civil Rights Act, in plain contradiction of the act. The U.S. bishops, as is par for the course, have been worse than worthless on this issue and many like it.

Staying on the topic of the U.S. and the aforementioned foreign aggressions, a very interesting piece was published on the Ron Paul Institute titled "US Violence Abroad Begets Violence at Home". A new study shows that the number of deaths caused by the U.S. since the Second World War, if I undrstand the piece properly. The number of countries the U.S. has attacked is staggering, and worth remembering is that not a single one of those nations actually attacked the U.S. or posed a threat to U.S. security - as if posing a threat was in any way a justification for attacking them, it must be noted. As I wrote on the day, we have become somewhat desensitised to American brutality: "It's what they do" thinks the world, and "It's what we do", Americans seem to think, but we owe it to the victims of this violence to remember them.

The context of his piece was the recent Las Vegas massacre, whose narrative, it must be admitted, grows all the more unbelievable.

We had an article by Jennifer Lahl on egg 'donation', written by a woman who had donated her eggs. She suffered adverse effects on which she had not counted and about which she had not been informed. It was a sad read, and one thing that struck me was how bad she felt at realising that the doctors saw her as nothing but a product to produce eggs, while of course, she was there in essence facilitating the treatment of children as products through IVF technologies. It just goes to show how much trouble a little abstract thinking can save us, especially when it comes to morality.

A week's summary would hardly be complete without a Bergoglio scandal, or a Bergoglio heresy, or not infrequently both. This time it is the death penalty, which Bergoglio says...

Some thoughts on the 100-year anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima

This is a huge day in the life of the Church. The Miracle of the Sun at Fatima is the greatest and most widely witnessed divine intervention since the Resurrection of Christ.

It is such a big day in fact that I feel somewhat forced to have some sort of commentary on the day itself, untrue to form. There are many much-better informed followers of Fatima, so I'll try and keep my statements brief.

The eminent historian Roberto di Mattei wrote a splendid piece which was published on Rorate Caeli. In it he writes a bit of what happened on that day, but much of his text has to do with how the 9 popes since the apparition have failed to honour the Virgin's request to have Russia consecrated to her Immaculate Heart.

There are some who feel that the consecration of Russia has been carried out and that the positive changes we see in Russia have occured as a result of that consecration. There were positive developments when Pope Pius XII consecrated the whole world to the Blessed Virgin, a fact Sister Lucia was keen to point out, but she was keen to point out that the consecration had not heeded our Blessed Mother's wishes. The Second World War did indeed end and we did indeed have a period of peace, but the world was soon plunged into the chaos of the Cold War, and the errors of Russia continued to spread. Indeed, Roberto di Mattei catalogues this.

Now some will say that Russia has changed and this and that.; facts hardly open to dispute. Anybody who argues that Russia is still communist is as ignorant as he is stupid, I would argue. Well, either that or you are accusing the Russian leadership of complete ignorance of what communism is. After all, communists specialise in destroying churches, not in building and re-building them. If you don't believe me, just as the Chinese and the Soviets!

One would think that people as wise as those in charge of Russia - people, it has to be admitted, who manage to outmanoeuvre the combined intellect of the entire Western world combined seemingly without even trying - would be in the know as to the basic tenets of communism, if that was the ideology that they secrectly espoused. The charge of the Russian leadership being crypto-communists really does not stand up even to the slightest bit of scrutiny.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia has built over 10,000 churches, many if not most with government money, I would assume, since there is simply no way that the Orthodox Church in Russia, persecuted and infiltrated by communists for so long, with barely any Mass attendees, would be able to afford such an undertaking. Some reports I have seen have claimed as much as 28,000 churches have been built in Russia since the fall of communism, a figure that seems rather fanciful to me, but which I would happily accept if it were proved to be true.

The president, Vladimir Putin, routinely attends church services, as does prime minister  Medvedev and defence minister Shoigu. These, I would argue, are the 3 most important public figures in Russia and they are doing everything they can do to prop up the Russian Orthodox Church. Although there is much to go before Russia can be called a Christian nation - the abolition of abortion being the foremost - there is not much more that the current leadership of Russia could have done to help Christianity regain its place at the centre of Russian life.

That it is the Russian Orthodox Church being propped up and not the Catholic Church will offend some, but it does not offend me. To any impartial observer, the Russian Orthodox Church certainly appears more Christian than the Catholic Church. Only the learned will bother to find out that the claims of the Russian Orthodox Church are bogus, but few ever go that far. Externals matter and the fact of the matter is that the primate of Russia behaves in a much more Christian way than does our pope, or whatever Bergoglio is.

Furthermore, it has always been the role of the Russian leadership to support Russian Orthodoxy and I am at a loss to understand how these people think that the Russian leadership can impose the Catholic faith on people who have been hostile to the Catholic Church for centuries. These rifts have nothing to do with Vladimir Putin or even the communists, and they cannot be healed by political figures, although I grant that political figures can do much to push the re-unification. The fact of the matter is that the Blessed Virgin Mary provided us with a roadmap of how to convert Russia back to Catholicism, and that is through the consecration of Russia.

Rumour has it that Putin even asked the pope to consecrate Russia; so much for the politicians being communists. That the popes have failed to do this is to their eternal condemnation. It would be one thing if they did not believe in the Fatima message, but pope after pope has paid homage to the apparitions at Fatima so it beggars belief that they will not do what they were asked to do.

Back to the topic of the consecration and the accompanying warnings...

Whereas Russia can be said in many ways to have rejected the errors of Russia, these errors are all-pervasive in the West. Whether it is the attack on the Christian faith, the destruction of the family, the promotion of sodomy, fornication homosexuality and feminism, the attack on human nature through transgenderism and materialism, the attack on the sacredness of human life through euthanasia and abortion, the promotion of Islam, witchcraft, scientism and atheism, the errors of Russia have spread into the West like wild-fire and there seems to be no stopping them.

I repeat that I am no expert of Fatima but it is my understanding that...
