How Can I Explain
What it Means to be a Catholic
To My Non-Catholic
Relatives and Personal Friends?

So sorry to learn about all of the name calling and whatever other acts of vituperation you have had to suffer and to have to endure at the hands of those who claim to be Catholics but who obviously are ignorant of what the Roman Catholic Church has consistently taught for over 1,800 years!

My humble and respectful suggestion is simply to pray for them - pray for the Grace of Conversion for each of them so that they, too, may have peace with their consciences, as you now do.

It is sad when some of these poor, misguided people resort to name-calling which is nothing other than a fallacy - to wit - the fallacy known as the "argumentum ad hominem" - the argument to man.  So, for the future, when such victimized souls do their "name-calling", whether they call you a "kook", "crack-pot", "idiot", "demon-possessed", "bad Catholic", or whatever else that is similar, just pray for them.  They really need the Grace of Conversion! Look upon it as an opportunity to pray to the good God so that He will quickly give them His Holy Grace of Conversion.

You have asked more than one question.  But each one is related, in one way or another, to the other.

Because by the Most Holy Will and Grace of God, I am a Spiritual Father of Spiritual Children, as well as the Pastor of internet sheep, I have the duty and responsibility to Almighty God to fulfill my ministry and my Pastoral duties as a Spiritual Father by teaching those, who have eyes to see, the Truth about the Catholic Faith, as well as the Truth about all of the changes that have been made for over the last fifty years to the Catholic Faith, Mass, and Sacraments.

Although it is true that some people hate the Truth, and do not want to know it, whether from fear, pride, or denial, others really and truly do want to know the Truth so that they can know what they should do in these days of deception.

Although some people prefer to remain in la-la land, or simply be irresponsible, or prefer affected ignorance which they mistakenly think automatically absolves them from any and all action and responsibility, the vast majority of Catholics do have moral integrity and desire to learn the facts, no matter how sweet and pleasant, and/or bitter and unpleasant, such Truths might be about the Church.

The pedophile scandals have served as a virtual alarm clock to wake up all Catholics to the fact that there are problems in the Church which those in charge have either tried to ignore or have become part of the problem themselves.  But the pedophile problem is only the tip of the iceberg that the average Catholic can see.  There is a great deal below the surface, not all of  which is good.

So, just as it is my duty to teach the Laity, so also it is my duty to warn the Laity about these things.  Such action is only warning - not "bashing" and not "attacking" the Church or anyone person and/or group within it.  The ultimate criterion is the Truth  -  only the Truth - in contradistinction to "political correctness" or by whatever other names are used for "lies" and "lying" these days. Moral Integrity is not compatible with deception of any kind.

It is my duty to imitate Christ Who warned the people of His day about the problems in the Temple and the Jewish Priesthood, including the Pharisees and other groups of the Jews which Christ publicly rebuked and condemned.  Driving the money changers out of the Temple was not "bashing", or "attacking," or a "hate crime against", the money changers.

On the contrary, Jesus Christ, Who is "the Truth" (John 14:6), but also the Just Judge to whom God the "Father... hath given all judgment to the Son" (John 5:22), drove the evil people out of the Temple.   He had a right, a duty, and an obligation to do so as the Just Judge since Christ says of Himself: "I judge:  and My Judgment is Just" (John 5:30).

"Bashing", "attacking", "hate crimes", "prejudice", "discrimination", etc., are all terms used by whiny incarnate devils in an attempt to justify their own evils and condemn those who would discipline them and/or expel them, whether physically, as did Christ, the Just Judge, or today by means of excommunications.  The bullies and tyrants on the block need to be exposed for who and what they are.  Whatever false philosophy they use to try to confuse and/or to control others with the above pagan secular humanistic terms, comes directly out the Communist playbook - written by atheists and henchmen of Satan!

Dear Readers, it is to - hopefully - relatively few skeptics and "doubting Thomases" - and to those who choose to take what I have written "personally", and not "objectively"  - who read this, that I point out how their taking all of this skeptically, and/or "personally", and not "objectively" as it is both intended and written, is akin to a speeder getting upset with a police officer who gives the speeder a ticket for breaking the law - speeding.  That is part of the duty and responsibility of a police officer.  So why become upset with him and falsely thinking instead that he is the law-breaking criminal just because he is doing his job?

So I ask those who are skeptics and "doubting Thomases", as well as those who choose to take what I have written "personally", and not "objectively" - why become upset with me just because I am likewise doing my job?  Even Saint Paul had to address those who had chosen to take what he said/wrote  skeptically and/or "personally", and not "objectively".

He asked them, as well as the skeptics and "doubting Thomases" of his day:  "Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the Truth?"  (Galatians 4:16).  It is because of the skeptics and "doubting Thomases", as well as those who choose to take what I have written "personally", and not "objectively", that I have had to repeat certain things in order to try to "break down" the virtual "wall" some of them put up.  It has been my personal experience that, at least at first, they become overly defensive.  It is by such necessary repetition that you can eventually get through to them, although it can be somewhat frustrating for everyone else - for which necessity I apologize in advance.  Instead, seize the opportunity to become stronger, Spiritually, by your exercise of the Virtue of Patience.

Regarding your concerns and questions, because of your focus on the changes in the Church, including the changes to the Mass, the answer to your questions will not only focus on some of the changes in the Church, but also on what things were like before some of these changes were ever made.

In this way:

1)  Non-Catholics, who have never known anything about the Roman Catholic Church;

2)  Older generations of Roman Catholics, who may have forgotten what they were taught so many decades ago;

3)  Younger generations of Roman Catholics, who have never been taught the beautiful Truths of the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church;

will all, together, have a "learning experience" about the Roman Catholic Church before all of the changes began, and then during and after the changes were implemented.

What follows IS NOT MY PERSONAL OPINION!

On the contrary, what follows are basic Truths - whether they be Historical Facts, Theological Truths, Church Laws, Official Teachings, and/or Doctrinal Decrees.

Because anyone can say anything, I have tried to always either cite my sources, and/or give you direct quotations from these sources.  Nevertheless, it is a fool's errand to try to cite and/or to quote "everything", every possible piece of detail, even the smallest, and every tiniest piece of minutiæ.  So please do not expect it.

Therefore, those who might possibly have a problem with what follows, do not really have a problem with me, per se, but rather with my sources.  So, for those who love to argue, go argue with my sources!

I have also included lots of graphics, pictures, and, wherever possible, actual photographs.  Why?  Not only because a picture is worth the proverbial "thousand words", and a photograph is frequently worth a "million words", such graphics also help to put the subject matter that is under discussion into their proper historical context and make the quoted texts even more cogent.

A few photographs have had masks added to the faces of at least some of the people in said photographs, most especially when such photographs merely illustrate an example of the issue and/or subject matter at hand and are personally not always the subject and/or issue at hand.  This has not always been done in every instance, as for example, when there are a number of people in the photograph, but is usually done only when there is only one or several in the photograph - which also helps to conceal their identity.

In what follows, please remember:

"It is a shorter thing and sooner done to write heresies than to answer them"  (Sir Saint Thomas More, [b. at London, England in 1477 A.D. - d. martyred, at Tower Hill, London, England, on Saturday, July 6, 1535 A.D.], The Apology of Sir Thomas More, April 1533 A.D.).

Finally:

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.  By their fruits you shall know them.  Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit.  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit.  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them”  (Matthew 7:15-20).

A "Thank you" to "G.A." for the questions and a special "Thank You" to YOU, the Reader!

God Bless All of You!

Patriarch Saint John Chrysostom

It was the custom of His Beatitude, Patriarch Saint John Chrysostom [b. Antioch, c. 347 A.D. - d. at Commana in Pontus on Friday, September 14, 407 A.D.], Patriarch of Constantinople [Thursday, February 26, 398 A.D. - Thursday, June 24, 404 A.D.], exiled from his See the 2nd time on Thursday, June 24, 404 A.D., a Father and Doctor of the Catholic Church, to properly prepare himself and his readers before writing/reading. He taught that unless  God the Holy Ghost prepares the minds and hearts of the writer and of the readers, the writer writes in vain and the readers read in vain.

But first, one must properly prepare oneself to pray to God the Holy Ghost and to thereby receive, in much greater abundance, an increase of His Seven Gifts, as well as of His Holy Fruits.

This is done by making an Act of Contrition which is also a simultaneous Act of Humility and an Act of Meekness.  In this way, one makes oneself much more receptive to the Divine Truth through the Divine guidance and inspirations of God the Holy Ghost.

For your convenience, here is an Act of Contrition you may use:

An Act of Contrition

O my God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, because I love Thee above all things with my whole heart and soul.  I detest all of my sins because it was for them and His Love for me that Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, my Lord and my God, suffered, was crucified, and died on the cross.  O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee by my sins, faults, imperfections, negligences and carelessness, Who art all good and deserving of all of my love.

I firmly resolve with the help of Thy Grace, to sin no more, to confess my sins, to do penance, to amend my life, to avoid all of the near occasions of sin, and always give to Thee freely, liberally and generously what is of supererogation and perfection, not only in greater things, but especially in lesser things, so that I may gain beforehand Thy efficacious, superabundant, particular and special Graces and Helps so that I will always be victorious in resisting and overcoming all temptations of the world, the flesh, and the devil and his followers.  Grant me those Graces and Helps needed so that my every thought, word and action may be done solely out of love for Thee, Who art Love.  Amen.

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

Come, O Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of Thy faithful
And kindle in them the fire of Thy love.

V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created;
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let Us Pray

O God, who didst instruct the hearts of Thy faithful by the light of Thy Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to relish what is right and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary; pray for us.
Saint Thomas Aquinas, Patron Saint of Catholic Students, pray for us.

Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary; pray for us.
Saint Thomas Aquinas; pray for us.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Prophecy Fulfilled!

For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, My Name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is Sacrifice, and there is Offered to My Name a Clean Oblation:  for My Name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts. (Malachias 1:11; emphasis added.)

Easter Sunday Sermon to Catholics Who are Faithful to Tradition (N.B.  This photo shows only a few of the well over 120 people at this Catholic Traditional Mass in Catacombs III.)

(This photo shows the Elevation of the Sacred Host during the Double Consecration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass which is Offered in Latin according to the Catholic Traditional Mass using a pre-1944 Missal in Catacombs III.)

Dear Readers,

Thank you, in advance, for reading what follows!

My hope and prayer is that it will bring you peace of mind and peace of heart and peace of soul and peace between you and your family member(s) and/or personal friend(s) who is (are) Catholic(s), but with whom you have been having less than an harmonious relationship, whether of a Spiritual, Religious, intellectual, and/or other nature.

I have a question for you:

"Has any Catholic Priest ever instructed you as to what the unchangeable Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Mass really is as it existed BEFORE Synod Vatican 2 [Thursday, October 11, 1962 - Wednesday, December 8, 1965]?"

For example, have you ever been taught any of the following unchangeable Truths of the Catholic Church regarding the Catholic Traditional Mass?:

1) The Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Mass is the perfect fulfillment of the Prophecy of the Old Testament Prophet Malachias.

The Prophet Malachias, through the Divine Inspiration of God the Holy Ghost, wrote:

"For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, My Name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is Sacrifice, and there is Offered to My Name a Clean Oblation:  for My Name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts"  (Malachias 1:11; emphasis added.)

a)  The phrase from the rising of the sun even to the going down  is merely, in this specific case, an euphemism which means not only "worldwide", but also "continuous".

In other words, the action is "continuous" because it is being done at least every hour, on the hour, throughout the entire world, i.e. "worldwide".

Is this Truth something that you already knew or, through no personal fault of your own, something that you simply did not know before now?

b)  The phrase My Name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is Sacrifice,  means that the Gentiles will glorify the Name of God, by means of a Sacrifice which will be Offered on a worldwide scale!

Please note that there is no mention of the Hebrew Jews, but only of the Gentiles.  What does this mean?  It means that this has nothing at all to do with the Hebrew Jews' animal sacrifices before their ONE and ONLY Temple in Jerusalem.

It also means that this Sacrifice will be only ONE TYPE of Sacrifice in contradistinction to the MANY TYPES of different animal sacrifices in only ONE PLACE - on the ONE Hebrew Jewish altar in front of their ONE Temple in Jerusalem which was never "worldwide" in any sense.

Are these Truths something that you already knew or, through no personal fault of your own, something that you simply did not know before now?

c)  The phrase there is Offered to My Name a Clean Oblation  means an UNBLOODY Sacrifice which is Offered to Almighty God.

Is this Truth something that you already knew or, through no personal fault of your own, something that you simply did not know before now?

d)  Therefore, the Prophetic text - For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, My Name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is Sacrifice, and there is Offered to My Name a Clean Oblation   - taken as a whole, based on its individual parts, means, in plain English, that in the future there is going to be ONLY ONE type, or ONE UNIVERSAL type, of Sacrifice, which is an unbloody (a Clean Oblation)  Sacrifice which ONLY the Gentiles will have which they will Offer to God, Who is the Lord of hosts in this Prophecy, continuously Offered around the world (from the rising of the sun even to the going down).

Throughout human history, there is ONLY ONE such UNBLOODY SACRIFICE which, BEFORE Synod Vatican 2, was the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Traditional Mass of the Catholic Church that was being Offered to God around the world every hour of the day and night!

Are these Truths something that you already knew or, through no personal fault of your own, something that you simply did not know before now?

2)The Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of Mass was PERFECTLY INSTITUTED by Jesus Christ, the promised Messias of the Old Testament Prophets, the Infinite Eternal Word of God, the Divine Logos, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the Eternal High Priest, along with each of the Seven Sacraments.

Holy Thursday

On that First Holy Thursday, God the Son, Jesus Christ, the Infinite Eternal High Priest, Perfectly Instituted the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and also the Sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist

Jesus Christ never gave anyone any power to change  the unchangeable Ontological Essence and the unchangeable  Metaphysical Essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and also of the Sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist.

An integral part of this perfect institution of the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of Mass of the Catholic Church consisted in the perfect institution of the unchangeable ontological essence and the unchangeable metaphysical essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and also of each of the Seven Sacraments.

a)  What is the ontological essence of a certain thing?

The ontological essence of a certain thing is that which makes that certain thing to be that certain thing and no other thing.

For example, there are certain things that make a cloud a cloud, a rose a rose, a lead pencil a lead pencil, and a blade of grass a blade of grass.  IF even one of these things, which make such things that which they are, was changed or missing or deliberately omitted, then the said thing would no longer be that certain thing, but something else.  For example, if a lead pencil did not have any lead in it, it would no longer be a lead pencil, but something else - in this case a defective lead pencil.

So the same thing is true of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  Thus, Jesus Christ, Infinite God the Son, PERFECTLY Instituted the unchangeable ontological essence of Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  IF any part of the unchangeable ontological essence of Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is missing and/or changed in any way, for whatever reason(s), then such a thing is no longer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, but something else - even if it might both look like, and even sound like, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!

This is exactly what happened in the 16th Century when certain ex-Roman Catholic Bishops and Priests replaced the unchangeable ontological essence of Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of Mass with a mere memorial supper meal because the many different ontological essences of all of the many different competing 16th Century Protestant finite, man-made memorial supper meals were totally different from the unchangeable ontological essence of Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of Mass!  In other words, the Protestants had destroyed the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass which Christ Himself - Infinite God - had perfectly instituted!

Are these Truths something that you already knew or, through no personal fault of your own, something that you simply did not know before now?

b)  What is the metaphysical essence of a certain thing?

The metaphysical essence of a certain thing is that which the ontological essence of that same certain thing does.

c)  The Protestants failed to understand these basic Truths about the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of Mass and the Seven Sacraments, the ontological essences and the metaphysical essences of which are immutable - unchangeable - because Jesus Christ, God the Son, the Eternal High Priest, Who perfectly instituted them, has never, ever, given anyone the power to change the unchangeable (which in itself can not be done since it is a contradiction of terms, as Scholastic Philosophy clearly teaches, just as a "square circle" is likewise a contradiction of terms).

d)  But why did not Jesus Christ give Saint Peter, or even all of the Apostles, or a Church Council, or whoever or whatever, the required and necessary power, authority, and jurisdiction to change the Mass and the Seven Sacraments which He perfectly instituted?

The question answers itself!  How so?  Because of the fact that the unchangeable ontological essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of the Mass is just that - an unchangeable ontological essence!  In addition, it is also because of the fact that the unchangeable metaphysical essence of the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of the Mass is just that - an unchangeable metaphysical essence!  The issue is not whether or not Christ can, should, or maybe give the required and necessary power, authority, and jurisdiction to change the Mass and the Seven Sacraments which He perfectly instituted, but rather that the required and necessary power, authority, and jurisdiction to make such changes simply do not exist because they would each be a contradiction of terms!

e)  Furthermore, it was required and necessary that ONLY Infinite God, Jesus Christ, perfectly instituted the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Seven Sacrament because finite men, per se, do not have the power to sanctify anyone!  Why not?

Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P.
[b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy -
d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy]

“Since, therefore, the sanctification of man is in the power of God Who sanctifies, it is not for man to decide what things should be used for his sanctification, but this should be determined by Divine institution” (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 60, Article 5, Body).

f)  A few basic points from the Angelic Doctor regarding the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist which is Consecrated during the Double Consecration during the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of the Catholic Mass:

“Our Lord used determinate words in Consecrating the Sacrament of the Eucharist.”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 60, Article 7).

“...But those things that are essential to the Sacrament are instituted by Christ Himself, Who is God and man.  And though they are not all handed down by the Scriptures, yet the Church holds them from the intimate Tradition of the Apostles [i.e. Genuine Apostolic Tradition], according to the saying of the Apostle (1 Cor. 11:34):  `The rest I will set in order when I come.’”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 64, Article 2, Reply to Objection 1).

“...if the [Double] Consecration was not performed then [i.e. in the time of the Apostles] by these words, neither would it be now.”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 78, Article 1, Reply to Objection 1).

“...the proper form exists only in its proper matter....”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 75, Article 6).

“As stated above (A. 6, ad 2), in the Sacraments the words are as the form and sensible things are as the matter.  Now in all things composed of matter and form, the determining principle is on the part of the form, which is as it were the end and terminus of the matter.  Consequently, for the being of a thing the need of a determinate form is prior to the need of determinate matter; for determinate matter is needed that it may be adapted to the determinate form.  Since, therefore, in the Sacraments determinate sensible things are required which are as the Sacramental matter, much more is there need in them of a determinate form of words.”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 60, Article 7).

Are these Truths something that you already knew or, through no personal fault of your own, something that you simply did not know before now?

3)The "Law of Secrecy", a.k.a. the Disciplina Arcani - the "Discipline of the Secret," was an absolute necessity in the early days of the Catholic Church.

This was the primary way in which the Catholic Church defended herself from her enemies.  During the first three Centuries A.D., the Catholic Church and her members, both Clergy and Laity, were frequently persecuted.  Martyrdom was the usual result of such bloody Satanic persecutions.  In this age of bloody persecutions and attacks from a variety of anti-Catholics, it was necessary for the Catholic Church to conceal the Deposit of Faith, especially her Doctrines on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass - which was divided into two parts - the Mass of the Catechumens (at the conclusion of which the Catechumens were dismissed) and the Mass of the Faithful (who remained for the Canon of the Mass which, of course, contains the Transubstantiation during the Double Consecration).

This fact is attested to by various Church Historians and others and even as late as the 13th Century the Angelic Doctor refers to it:

“The Evangelists did not intend to hand down the forms of the Sacraments, which in the primitive Church had to be kept concealed, as Dionysius observes at the close of his book on the Ecclesiastical Hierarchy”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 78, Article 3, Reply to Objection 9.  N.B.  Here it seems that not only does Saint Thomas have in mind the actual FORM of words for each Sacrament, but also “form” in the sense of the entire liturgical “shape” or “form” of each Sacrament; in others words, what was the equivalent in the Primitive Church of the modern Ritual).

4)Because of the "Law of Secrecy", very little is actually known about what some people call the "Mass of the Apostles".

a)  Regarding the "Mass of the Apostles", one researcher writes in part:

“The Scripture itself tells us that during the period immediately following Christ’s Resurrection, Our Divine Lord showed Himself alive to His Apostles “by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the Kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3).   That Kingdom of God is, of course, His Holy Church” (Joseph Husslein, S.J., “The Mass of the Apostles”, p. 320).

“How far Christ may at that time (Acts 1:3) have instructed His Apostles in the details of the Eucharistic Service we do not know, but there is no improbability that instructions may have been given them by Our Lord on this point.  Such, seemingly, was the universal belief of the Early Church.  Even at a much later period St. Jerome still refers to Christ having instructed His Apostles that ‘daily in the Sacrifice of His Body the Faithful may dare to say, “Our Father, etc.’” [Saint Jerome, a.k.a. Eusebius Hieronymus, a.k.a. Sophronius, b. Stridon, Dalmatia c. 340 A.D. - d. Bethlehem, Palestine, Wednesday, September 30, 420 A.D., Doctor of the Catholic Church,  Adv. Pelag. - Against the Pelagians, iii, 15.]”  (Joseph Husslein, S.J., “The Mass of the Apostles”, pp. 320-321).

“That the Mass of the Apostles would be faithfully copied by their successors was sufficiently clear.  Christ had made known to the Apostles,  Clement of Rome  writes in the Epistle referred to [First Epistle to the Corinthians] - and let us remember that he lived in the days of the Apostles - that contentions would arise regarding the Episcopal office.  In view of this foreknowledge, Clement of Rome continues, the Apostles ‘appointed the above-mentioned Bishops and provided for the future by establishing a rule of succession according to which well-tried men should succeed them in their office after their death.’  The point here is that these ‘well-tried’ men would have been intimately associated with the Apostles, and so would naturally have closely imitated them in their manner of performing the most sacred Episcopal function, the Offering of the Eucharistic Sacrifice.  So it was possible to secure that sameness of type which we know characterized the early Masses”  (Joseph Husslein, S.J., “The Mass of the Apostles”, pp.  321-322).

“Abercius was Bishop of Hierapolis, a city in Phrygia.  Living at about the same time as St. Irenæus, [c. 150  A.D. - c. 215 A.D. to 220 A.D.] he was noted like him as a champion of the Faith against heresy.  He had traveled far and wide, east and west, in Italy and Mesopotamia, and everywhere, he tells us, found that the Christians partook of exactly the same Eucharistic Food in exactly the same way.  We possess in him therefore the most notable witness to the Catholicity of the Eucharistic Faith in the first ages of the Church” (Joseph Husslein, S.J., “The Mass of the Apostles”, pp. 306-307).

b)  That Christ Himself instructed the Apostles how to Offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Traditional Rite of Mass is also found in other sources, such as in the following examples:

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Clement I
[c. 88 A.D. - c. 97 A.D.]

“These things therefore being manifest to us, and since we look into the depths of the divine knowledge, it behoves us to do all things in [their proper] order, which the Lord has commanded us to perform at stated times. He [Christ] has enjoined Offerings [to be presented to Him] and Service [the Mass] to be performed [Offered to Him], and that not thoughtlessly or irregularly, but at the appointed times and hours."   (Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Clement I, a.k.a. Bishop Clement of Rome [c. 88 A.D. - c. 97 A.D.]. First Epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter 40, Let Us Preserve in the Church the Order Appointed by God).

"Where and by whom He [Christ] desires these things to be done, He Himself [Christ] has fixed by His own supreme will, in order that all things being piously done [Mass Offered] according to His good pleasure, may be acceptable unto Him."   (Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Clement I, a.k.a. Bishop Clement of Rome [c. 88 A.D. - c. 97 A.D.]. First Epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter 40, Let Us Preserve in the Church the Order Appointed by God).

"For his own peculiar services [of the Episcopacy] are assigned to the High Priest [Bishop], and their own proper place is prescribed to the Priests, and their own special ministrations devolve on the Levites [Deacons]. The Layman is bound by the laws that pertain to Laymen”  (Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Clement I, a.k.a. Bishop Clement of Rome [c. 88 A.D. - c. 97 A.D.]. First Epistle to the Corinthians, Chapter 40, Let Us Preserve in the Church the Order Appointed by God).

Saint Justin Martyr
[b. Sichem, a.k.a. Neapolis, or Flavia Neapolis, modern day Nablus, Palestine c. 100 A.D. -
d. Rome, Italy c. 165 A.D.]

c)  In about the year 155 A.D., Saint Justin Martyr writes (in very veiled language because of the "Law of Secrecy, just as did Clement I, above) that shortly after Christ rose from the dead, He taught His Apostles and His Disciples exactly HOW to Offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass before He - Christ - Ascended into Heaven:

“But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly [assist at Mass], because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Saviour on the same day rose from the dead. For He was crucified on the day [Friday] before that of Saturn [Saturday]; and on the day after that of Saturn [Saturday], which is the day of the Sun [Sunday], having appeared to His Apostles and Disciples, He [Jesus Christ] taught them [His Apostles and Disciples] these things [i.e. how to Offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass before He Ascended into Heaven]”  (Saint Justin Martyr [b. Sichem, a.k.a. Neapolis, or Flavia Neapolis, modern day Nablus, Palestine c. 100 A.D. - d. Rome, Italy c. 165 A.D.], The First Apologia of Saint Justin Martyr - To the Emperor Titus Ælius Adrianus Antoninus Pius Augustus Caesar, and to his Son Verissimus the Philosopher, and to Lucius the Philosopher, the natural Son of Caesar, and the adopted Son of Pius, a lover of learning, and to the sacred Senate, with the whole People of the Romans, Chapter 67, Weekly worship of the Christians; emphasis added).

Apostolic Tradition
and
The Catholic Mass

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Vigilius I

d)  In about the year 538 A.D., the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope stated that the Canon of the Roman Mass, i.e. the Ancient Roman Rite, had never been changed, but rather that it still remained in "the form which, by God's mercy, We have received from Apostolic Tradition" (Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Vigilius I [Friday, March 29, 537 -  Saturday, June 7, 555], Letter to Bishop Profuturus, the Bishop of Braga in Portugal).

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Benedict XIV

e)  In 1748 A.D., the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Benedict XIV, Prospero Lambertini [Wednesday, August 17, 1740 - Wednesday, May 3, 1758], wrote in part about how the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Saint Gregory the Great [Friday, September 3, 590 - Monday, March 12, 604], slightly altered the order of the prayers of the Canon, but that "no pope has added to or changed it since Saint Gregory."

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V

f)  On Tuesday, July 14, 1570 A.D., in accordance with the requirements of the Infallible Roman Catholic Council of Trent (Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562), the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V, Antonio-Michele Ghislieri [Friday, January 7, 1566 - Monday, May 1, 1572], issued the revised edition of the Missale Romanum which restored this Missal to its original purity all the way back to at least the time of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Saint Gregory the Great [Friday, September 3, 590 - Monday, March 12, 604] which contained, at the very beginning, his Papal Bulla, Quo Primum Tempore which forbids any changes to this Missal by anyone under pain of automatic excommunication (except for clarifications of the rubrics and the addition of new feasts).

Catholic Patrimony
Catholic Ancestral Heritage

The unchangeable ontological and metaphysical essences  of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is part of the Sacred Catholic Patrimony which is preserved today in Catacombs III.  But up to Synod Vatican 2, and in some places for a short time thereafter, Catholics could still assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and receive the Sacraments in their local parish churches.  Not today!

A Roman Catholic Church in 1893 A.D.

Please pause to logically consider that today many Catholics, who are too often incorrectly classified as "Traditional Catholics", have generations, some have many generations, of ancestors who were Catholics.  These include such relatives as Great-Great Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Grandparents, and Parents.

Catholics (a.k.a.  Roman Catholics) in the 1940's BEFORE Synod Vatican 2 in the 1960's
were NOT called "Traditional Catholics", although they were "Traditional"!

Also Notice the Catholic Nuns wore their "Traditional" Religious Habit!
Catholic Priests/Bishops were Vested in "Traditional" Mass Vestments!
The rest of the Catholic Bishops were Vested in "Traditional" Episcopal Vestments!

For those of you who were not yet born during the days BEFORE Synod Vatican 2:

SEE how the anti-Catholic INFILTRATORS at Vatican 2 DESTROYED even the "Traditional" Mass Vestments!
SEE how the anti-Catholic INFILTRATORS at Vatican 2 DESTROYED even the "Traditional" Episcopal Vestments!
SEE how the anti-Catholic INFILTRATORS at Vatican 2 DESTROYED even the "Traditional" Religious Habits of Nuns!

There were actual LEGAL, RATIONAL REASONS for wearing these REQUIRED "Traditional" Vestments and Habits!

Now every one of them was called a "Catholic" (a.k.a. "Roman Catholic"), i.e. never once were any of them called a "Traditional Catholic", even though they believed - as do Catholics, which some people call "Traditional Catholics", of today - in the unchangeable Deposit of the Catholic Faith.

Catholics (a.k.a.  Roman Catholics) in the 1940's BEFORE Synod Vatican 2 in the 1960's

BEFORE Synod Vatican 2, all Catholics (a.k.a. Roman Catholics),
believed in the unchangeable Liturgical Rites for the Catholic Mass and the Seven Sacraments.

Therefore, because these Catholic ancestors were all called "Catholics", all "Catholics" today, who believe the same things, and in the same way as their Catholic ancestors, should likewise be called "Catholics".  Why?

Because, just as their Catholic ancestors, the Catholics of today have not changed their Catholic beliefs, just as their Catholic ancestors never changed their Catholic beliefs.

A 1934 Hand-size Missal in Latin & English
Used by the Laity To Follow the Mass Celebrant

Notice both the Latin and English
This Particular Missal was printed in 1934
by P.J. Kenedy & Sons, New York - Publishers to the Holy Apostolic See

The same is also true in regard to the Liturgical Rites for the Masses at which they assisted, whether with a Rosary, a Prayer Book, or a hand-size Missal, as well as the Holy Sacraments they received, which Rites were never changed.

The argument - that the NEW mass, the Novus Ordo Missæ, a.k.a. the Novus Ordo Rite, was somehow "necessary" because the Laity were not able to follow the Mass Celebrant who used only Latin - is absurd - it is a LIE, plain and simple!

ALL hand-size Missals used by the Laity were in ENGLISH here in the United States, and some of these Missals had both the Latin and English side-by-side for the Ordinary of the Mass as you can SEE for yourself in the above picture!  Some Missals for the Laity even had the Latin and English side-by-side for the Propers of the Mass as well!

Before Synod Vatican 2, some of the Catholic Laity studied Latin in High School and were familiar with Latin.  Also, even most public High Schools had classes in Latin.  For example, in the public High School I attended, I had three years of Latin!  Most public High Schools offered a minimum of two years of Latin in those days, and some even had a full four years of Latin!

The point is, many of the Catholic Laity knew Latin.  Before I entered the Seminary, I personally knew a number of Catholic Laity who used the Latin in their Missals to follow the Mass Celebrant.  But even the Catholic Laity that did not know Latin could still follow the Mass Celebrant by reading the English translation in their Missals as the above picture proves!

Therefore, this erroneous "argument" was nothing more than an "excuse", used by the anti-Catholic Infiltrators to try to destroy the Catholic Mass because - ironically - the NEW mass, the Novus Ordo Missæ, a.k.a. the Novus Ordo Rite, was NOT the English translation of the Catholic Mass from Latin into English, but a DIFFERENT "mass" with many CHANGES!

There ALREADY EXISTED Missals in English translation for the Laity to use, as the above photo proves back in 1934!  The anti-Catholic Infiltrators LIED!

The bottom line here is that the NEW mass, the Novus Ordo Missæ, a.k.a. the Novus Ordo Rite, was NOT the SAME Mass as found in the Latin Altar Missals!

All you need to do is to compare just the Ordinary of the Mass - as it was in any Catholic Missal printed BEFORE 1962 - with the Ordinary of the Mass that is in the NEW mass, the Novus Ordo Missæ, a.k.a. the Novus Ordo Rite, of 1969!  The many CHANGES you will find in the Ordinary of the Mass that is in the NEW mass, the Novus Ordo Missæ, a.k.a. the Novus Ordo Rite, of 1969, are shocking and disgusting!

You will have no need of any further proof - this side-by-side comparison is more than enough proof that the NEW mass is NOT a "translation" of the Latin - but rather a totally DIFFERENT "mass"!

IF you do not want to take my word for it - make the comparisons yourself and SEE for yourself, with your own eyes, all of the many differences!

The bottom line is that the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist heretic Infiltrators at their CONVENTION, a.k.a. Synod Vatican 2, CHANGED the unchangeable ontological essence of the Mass which Jesus Christ had perfectly instituted.  In plain English, this means that the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist heretic Infiltrator NEW "mass" is NOT the Catholic Mass!  Instead, the ontological essence of the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist heretic Infiltrator NEW "mass" is DIFFERENT because it has a totally different ontological essence!

All of the legalisms in the world that claim the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist heretic Infiltrator NEW "mass" is ok because Pope Paul 6 issued it, are worthless arguments!  Why?  Because there is no law that can legally, licitly, or even validly make the ontological essence of the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist heretic Infiltrator NEW "mass" the same identical thing as the unchangeable ontological essence of the Mass which Jesus Christ had perfectly instituted.

All of the laws in the entire world, including church laws, all of the church tribunals and church courts in the world have no power, authority, and/or jurisdiction to ever try to make the ontological essence of the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist heretic Infiltrator NEW "mass" the same identical thing as the unchangeable ontological essence of the Mass which Jesus Christ had perfectly instituted!  Why not?  Because it is simply a contradiction of terms - which has already been explained above!

In other words, just as no law, no judge, no court can somehow try to make the ontological essence of a fake diamond the same identical unchangeable ontological essence of a real diamond, so also no law, no judge, no court, no pope, no synod, no council, no bishop, no group of bishops, can somehow try to make the ontological essence of any fake "mass" the same identical unchangeable ontological essence of the one and only real, genuine, true Mass which Jesus Christ had perfectly instituted!

The obvious point or issue in all of this should be self-evident?

The obvious point/issue here is this:  before Synod Vatican 2 - it was not necessary to use the term "Traditional Catholic"!

Why not?!!

A Roman Catholic Church in 1900 A.D.

Because anyone who was a "Catholic", anyone who was a "Roman Catholic"(these two terms are frequently used synonymously - but this is another long story for another time) was AUTOMATICALLY "Traditional"!

Venerable Psalter of Saint Jerome Illegally Replaced in 1944

Saint Jerome
[b. Stridon, Dalmatia c. 340 A.D. - d. Bethlehem, Palestine, Wednesday, September 30, 420 A.D.]

Doctor of the Catholic Church, Translated the Original Hebrew and Greek into the Latin Vulgate

Historically, beginning with the Missale Romanum in 1944, a newly translated Psalter, supposedly based on the ancient Hebrew original, replaced the ancient and hallowed Psalter of Saint Jerome!  This “trial balloon”, which culminated with the Novus Ordo Missæ, was launched by Roman Catholic Pope Pius XII [b.  Friday, March 3, 1876 - d. at the Vatican on Thursday, October 9, 1958], sometime in 1943 when he was 67 years old (not an age associated with senility).

The Pope himself admitted that he had done this, although - to the best of my knowledge - the actual document itself has never been found, even though he referred to his having done this nefarious act (perhaps it was done "verbally" which, if so, would have been done contrary to proper Papal procedures?!) in Mediator Dei.

How did this happen?

Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J.
[b. at Riedböhringen, Germany on Saturday, May 28, 1881 -
d. at Rome, Italy on Saturday, November 16, 1968]
“Super-Ecumenist” and Zionist Infiltrator

Father Augustin Bea, S.J., the future Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J. [b. at Riedböhringen, Germany on Saturday, May 28, 1881 - d. at Rome, Italy on Saturday, November 16, 1968], the “super-ecumenist” Zionist Infiltrator, apparently had Pius XII under his "spell"??? as the only Confessor of Roman Catholic Pope Pius XII, Eugenio Pacelli [Thursday, March 2, 1939 - Thursday, October 9, 1958].

This becomes more clear when one sees how this Zionist Infiltrator into the Roman Catholic Church was involved with Pius XII's first liturgical reform, the new liturgical translation of the Psalms, which replaced that of Saint Jerome’s Vulgate, so disliked by the Protestants because the Vulgate was the official translation of the Holy Scriptures in the Roman Catholic Church, and which had been declared to be authentic by the Nineteenth Œcumenical Council, the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent - [Thursday, December 13, 1545 A.D. - Wednesday, December 4, 1563 A.D.].

“6. You are surely well aware that this Apostolic See has always made careful provision for the schooling of the people committed to its charge in the correct spirit and practice of the liturgy; and that it has been no less careful to insist that the sacred rites should be performed with due external dignity. In this connection We ourselves, in the course of our traditional address to the Lenten preachers of this gracious city of Rome in 1943, urged them warmly to exhort their respective hearers to more faithful participation in the eucharistic sacrifice. Only a short while previously, with the design of rendering the prayers of the liturgy more correctly understood and their truth and unction more easy to perceive, We arranged to have the Book of Psalms, which forms such an important part of these prayers in the Catholic Church, translated again into Latin from their original text. [8]  Footnote # 8.  Cf. Apostolic Letter (Motu Proprio) In Cotidianis Precibus, Saturday, March 24, 1945 (AAS 37, 1945; pp. 65-67).”  (Roman Catholic Pope Pius XII, Eugenio Pacelli [Thursday, March 2, 1939 - Thursday, October 9, 1958], Encyclical, MEDIATOR DEI, On the Sacred Liturgy, Thursday, November 20, 1947, ¶ 6.)

However, the LITURGICAL CHANGES that were begun in the Missale Romanum in 1944 opened the door to later, even much more drastic, changes.  Yet, the Mass Celebrants who were using a 1944 or later edition of the changed Missale Romanum, most probably did not understand the problem or, if they were aware of it, were not able to get a 1943 or earlier edition of the Missale Romanum for a variety of reasons.

Roman Catholic Pope Pius XII, Eugenio Pacelli
[b.  Friday, March 3, 1876 - d. at the Vatican on Thursday, October 9, 1958

So Roman Catholic Pope Pius XII automatically excommunicated himself from the Roman Catholic Church because he incurred the censure of anathema - automatic excommunication - for throwing out the Psalter of Saint Jerome!

Of course, anyone can say anything.  So here is the proof.

You can prove it to yourself by checking out the text of the decree of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Paul III with the Council of Trent.

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Paul III, Alessandro Farnese
[Saturday, October 13, 1534 - Thursday, November 10, 1549]

Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent
[Thursday, December 13, 1545 A.D. - Wednesday, December 4, 1563 A.D.]

Here are the texts:

“The sacred and holy, ecumenical, and general Synod of Trent, – lawfully assembled in the Holy Ghost, the Same three legates of the Apostolic Sec presiding therein, – keeping this always in view, that, errors being removed, the purity itself of the Gospel be preserved in the Church; which (Gospel), before promised through the prophets in the holy Scriptures, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, first promulgated with His own mouth, and then commanded to be preached by His Apostles to every creature, as the fountain of all, both saving truth, and moral discipline; and seeing clearly that this truth and discipline are contained in the written books, and the unwritten traditions which, received by the Apostles from the mouth of Christ himself, or from the Apostles themselves, the Holy Ghost dictating, have come down even unto us, transmitted as it were from hand to hand; (the Synod) following the examples of the orthodox Fathers, receives and venerates with an equal affection of piety, and reverence, all the books both of the Old and of the New Testament  –  seeing that one God is the author of both  –  as also the said traditions, as well those appertaining to faith as to morals, as having been dictated, either by Christ's own word of mouth, or by the Holy Ghost, and preserved in the Catholic Church by a continuous succession. And it has thought it meet that a list of the sacred books be inserted in this decree, lest a doubt may arise in any one's mind, which are the books that are received by this Synod...

“They are as set down here below:

of the Old Testament: the five books of Moses, to wit, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy; Josue, Judges, Ruth, four books of Kings, two of Paralipomenon, the first book of Esdras, and the second which is entitled Nehemias; Tobias, Judith, Esther, Job, the Davidical Psalter, consisting of a hundred and fifty psalms....

“But if any one [This includes Popes because there are NO exceptions!] receive not, as sacred and canonical, the said books entire with all their parts, as they have been used to be read in the Catholic Church, and as they are contained in the old Latin Vulgate Edition [of Saint Jerome]; and knowingly and deliberately contemn the traditions aforesaid; let him be anathema....” (Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Paul III [Saturday, October 13, 1534 - Thursday, November 10, 1549] and the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session Four, Monday, April 8, 1546, Decree De Canonicis Scripturis).

Dear Readers,

Some of you, who may be unfamiliar with the technical terms of Ecclesiastical Jurisprudence, may wonder where does these Decrees explicitly say that anyone who violates these Decrees is automatically excommunicated?

The answer is to be found in the definition of "anathema" which now follows from two different sources:

“Anathema then appears as the more solemn form of pronouncing or declaring excommunication” (Rev. P. Chas. Augustine, O.S.B., D.D., A Commentary on the New Code of Canon Law, Volume 8, Canons 2255 & 2256, p. 170.)

“Anathema:  A thing or person struck by God’s malediction and intended for ruin.  Cf. I Cor. 12:13; Rom. 9:3; Gal. l:8-9.  Anathema, in actual Church discipline, is the term used for ipso facto [i.e. this is an automatic] excommunication incurred by those denying a solemnly defined truth, as is concluded principally from the dogmatic canons of the Council of Trent and the Vatican Council, (i.e. Vatican 1).”  (Parente, Piolanti, Garofalo, Dictionary of Dogmatic Theology, “Anathema”.)

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Paul III, Alessandro Farnese
[Saturday, October 13, 1534 - Thursday, November 10, 1549]

In plain, Anglo-Saxon English, what all of this means is simply that the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Paul III, with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, solemnly and Infallibly Decreed that the Vulgate Edition (of Saint Jerome who translated both the Old and New Testaments from original sources) is to be held as authentic in Session Four, Monday, April 8, 1546, Decree De Canonicis Scripturis; emphasis added.

Roman Catholic Pope Pius XII, Eugenio Pacelli
[Thursday, March 2, 1939 - Thursday, October 9, 1958]

So what did Pius XII do?

Concerning the said old and Latin Vulgate Edition  Pius XII dared and presumed to reject it under any pretext whatever  - the pretext Pius XII made was that the changed Psalter that was being used to replace the Psalter of Saint Jerome was translated directly from the Old Hebrew text of the Psalms.

On the contrary, there is no further need of proof than that which Pius XII himself has provided to prove his heresy and his automatic excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church, where he writes in part:

We arranged to have the Book of Psalms, which forms such an important part of these prayers in the Catholic Church, translated again into Latin from their original [i.e. Hebrew] text.  [8]  Footnote # 8.  Cf. Apostolic Letter (Motu Proprio) In Cotidianis Precibus, Saturday, March 24, 1945 (AAS 37, 1945; pp. 65-67).”  (Roman Catholic Pope Pius XII, Eugenio Pacelli [Thursday, March 2, 1939 - Thursday, October 9, 1958], Encyclical, MEDIATOR DEI, On the Sacred Liturgy, Thursday, November 20, 1947, ¶ 6.)

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Paul III, Alessandro Farnese
[Saturday, October 13, 1534 - Thursday, November 10, 1549]

It is because of this heretical act that Pope Pius XII automatically incurred the censure of anathema which was solemnly decreed by the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Paul III [Saturday, October 13, 1534 - Thursday, November 10, 1549] and the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session Four, Monday, April 8, 1546, in the formal Decree De Canonicis Scripturis:

“But if any one [This includes Popes because there are NO exceptions!] receive not, as sacred and canonical, the said books entire with all their parts, as they have been used to be read in the Catholic Church, and as they are contained in the old Latin Vulgate Edition [of Saint Jerome]; and knowingly and deliberately contemn the traditions aforesaid; let him be anathema....” (Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Paul III [Saturday, October 13, 1534 - Thursday, November 10, 1549] and the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session Four, Monday, April 8, 1546, Decree De Canonicis Scripturis).

For Roman Catholics, the bottom line is this:  because Pope Pius XII was automatically anathematized, i.e. automatically excommunicated, by the solemn Decree De Canonicis Scripturis, this means that Pope Pius XII was also automatically removed from his membership in the Roman Catholic Church - Therefore, Pius XII was no longer a Roman Catholic and, of course, was also de facto not a pope, either!
 

Dear Readers,

IF you closely examine the specious "reason" Pius XII gave for throwing out the Psalter of Saint Jerome - to wit - that Pius XII wanted to have the Book of Psalms,... translated again into Latin from their original [i.e. Hebrew] text (Op. Cit.), this was much worse than just a "bad idea"!

Why?

There are a variety of different “editions” of the Bible of which the Latin texts are actually translations of supposedly original texts.  In any event, the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Paul III, in union with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, freely chose only ONE edition of the Bible in Latin to be “held as authentic”.

This ONE and ONLY edition of the Bible in Latin is the Vulgate Edition of Saint Jerome, a.k.a. Eusebius Hieronymus, a.k.a. Sophronius [b. Stridon, Dalmatia c. 340 A.D. - d. Bethlehem, Palestine, Wednesday, September 30, 420 A.D.], Doctor of the Catholic Church, who translated the Bible into Latin at the request of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Saint Damasus I [Saturday, October 1, 366 - Tuesday, December 11, 384].

What is extremely germane, and what is of critical importance to this point, is the fact that the original manuscripts, a.k.a. autographs, of the Bible no longer exist today and did NOT even exist in 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, when, during one of those years, probably sometime between 1939 and 1942?, Pius XII ordered the Latin Vulgate Psalter of Saint Jerome to be thrown out of the Missal as well as all other liturgical books!!

But what Pius XII either ignored or did not know - or perhaps did not even care? - was that Saint Jerome, in the fourth century, had access to manuscripts for his Latin Vulgate that are no longer available to us today, manuscripts much closer in both time and text to the original autographs of the inspired writers than the Greek manuscripts available to us now.

Moreover, Pius XII either ignored or did not know - or perhaps did not even care? - that the Latin Vulgate of Saint Jerome is more pure than either the Hebrew or Greek now extant and has been far better conserved from textual corruptions.

These circumstances make the Latin Vulgate of Saint Jerome our best modern reference for biblical accuracy!

Thus, the "reason" of Pius XII crumbles into heretical oblivion under the weight of these incontrovertible historical facts!

A Roman Ritual Used by Catholic Priests

It Contains the Rites for Administering most of the Sacraments, Blessings, etc.
This Particular Roman Ritual was printed under Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Pius XI in 1925
by Benziger Brothers, Inc., New York - Printed according to the official Vatican Edition

This means that all of the Liturgical books, whether Missals, Breviaries, Rituals, etc., that contain the "NEW" Latin Psalter of Pius XII, are defective for this reason!

A Canon of the Mass Used by Catholic Prelates (Bishops, Archbishops, etc.)

It Contains the Canon of the Mass as found in the Missal
This Particular Canon of the Mass was printed in 1900

Although it is true that the Canon of the Mass, which this book contains, does not contain any Psalms, it is also true that the book itself does in fact contain a number of Psalms.

For example, at the beginning of this book, there are prayers in preparation before a Pontifical Mass (the Mass which Prelates offer is called a "Pontifical Mass") which includes Psalm 83 (shown in the picture above), Psalm 84 (the beginning of which is shown in the picture above), Psalm 85, Psalm 115, and Psalm 129.   Likewise, in the Thanksgiving after Mass, there is Psalm 150.

A Canon of the Mass Used by Catholic Prelates (Bishops, Archbishops, etc.)

It Contains the Canon of the Mass as found in the Missal
For both Solemn and Private Masses
This Particular Canon of the Mass was printed in 1922

Just as the 1900 A.D. Canon of the Mass, this Canon of the Mass also contains everything the smaller 1900 A.D. edition contains, but this 1922 edition also contains some things from the Pontificale Romanum - the Roman Pontifical, which is the Ritual Book that Catholic Prelates use for Administering the Sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Orders, along with various Blessings, etc. reserved only for the use of Prelates.  Although this Canon of the Mass does not contain the entire Roman Pontifical, it does contain a few things most Prelates would use much more frequently.

Pontificale Romanum - the Roman Pontifical

Right Page Begins the Pontifical Baptism of Children

What is so ironic in all of this is that Pius XII, and all other Modernist heretics like Pius XII, not to mention everyone else, have all been warned not to tamper with, and/or to change or replace the Latin Vulgate of Saint Jerome, by the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Paul III and the Infallible Roman Catholic Council of Trent, in Session Four, Monday, April 8, 1546, in their Decree De Canonicis Scripturis!!!

Therefore, our Catholic Ancestors were very fortunate to have been able to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass which was offered by Mass Celebrants (Priests and Prelates - Bishops of whatever rank of Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction) who used a Missale Romanum that contained only the Latin Vulgate Psalter of Saint Jerome!  That was back in the days when everyone was either a "Catholic" or a "non-Catholic" and this business that goes about in the dark trying to label faithful "Catholics" (a.k.a. "Roman Catholics") as "Traditional Catholics", in order to promote their own anti-Catholic, deceptive agenda, and to victimize faithful, sincere, honest, intelligent Catholics, in order to destroy the Church, are obviously perfidious in the Holy Eyes of Almighty God!

This change to the Missal in 1944, and the other Liturgical books, by replacing the Latin Vulgate Psalter of Saint Jerome, was part of a pre-planned program to eventually destroy the Roman Catholic Church and was but a shadow of the evil things to come in the CONVENTION of Communist, Freemasonic, Satanist, and Modernist heretic anti-Catholic Infiltrators which CONVENTION Spiritually and intellectually victimized people, both Catholics and non-Catholics, call "Synod Vatican 2".

Consider also how the conspiracy to destroy the Catholic Rite of Mass, which some pre-Vatican 2 liturgical historians call the "Ancient Roman Rite" of the Catholic Mass, was part of a Zionist master plot to destroy the Church, spear-headed by the behind-the-scenes leadership of the Zionist Infiltrator, Cardinal Bea, during the 1940's, 1950's and the 1960's.

Annibale Bugnini, C.M.

Apparently taking his orders from Bea, the Freemasonic Infiltrator, one Annibale Bugnini, C.M. [b. at Civitella de Lego, Italy 1912 - d. at Rome, Italy on Saturday,  July 3, 1982], along with Ferdinando Giuseppe Cardinal Antonelli, O.F.M. [b. ?   - d. at Rome on July 12, 1993] (who later signed the decree promulgating the anti-Catholic, heretical and apostate, NOR, Novus Ordo Rite), headed a “Commission for Liturgical Reform,” which authored the various liturgical innovations introduced in the 1950's and which continued into the 1960's.

These extremely evil anti-Catholic Infiltrators were deceptive diabolical innovators who freely admitted that the gradual changes they introduced were part of an overall master program to create a new form of worship. Annibale Bugnini, C.M. had the temerity to quote the comments which were made by another anti-Catholic Infiltrator into the Roman Catholic Church.

Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J.

Such anonymous comments had to do with the anti-Catholic, pro-Zionist, changes to Holy Week that were made in 1955 and which went into effect in 1956:

“No doubt it is still too early to assess the full import of this document, which marks an important turning-point in the history of the rites of the Roman liturgy....  This reform is only the first step toward measures of wider scope, and it is not possible to judge accurately of a part except when it is placed in its whole.”

Events Concerning anti-Catholic Liturgical "Reforms" in the 1940's and 1950's!

There were a number of anti-Catholic, perfidious evil "reforms", even in the 1940's and 1950's!

Here are some examples:

Events Concerning anti-Catholic Liturgical "Reforms" in the 1940's

1939 to 1943

Sometime between 1939 and 1942, Pope Pius XII ordered the Latin Vulgate Psalter of Saint Jerome thrown out and replaced by a different Latin translation, supposedly from the "original" Hebrew text - except that, it is understood by scholars, that this "original" Hebrew text was not as ancient as the "original" Hebrew text to which Saint Jerome had access!  Deliberate deception on the part of Pius XII, or just ignorance?  Pius XII admitted he ordered this done in two documents, although Pius XII never cited the actual document in which the order itself was given!  Today some scholars take the position that such a document never existed!

1944

All liturgical books, especially the Missal, were published with the questionable new Latin translation of the Psalter.

Friday, May 10, 1946.  Pius XII asks the Prefect of the CSR - The Sacred Congregation of Rites - (Cardinal Salotti) to begin forming a project for a general reform of the liturgy.  N.B.  This was in 1946!  Those who try to say that Pius XII did not know what was going on apparently do not know about this historical fact?!

Apostolic Letter (Motu Proprio) In Cotidianis Precibus, Saturday, March 24, 1945 (AAS 37, 1945; pp. 65-67).”  (Pope Pius XII, Eugenio Pacelli [Thursday, March 2, 1939 - Thursday, October 9, 1958], Encyclical, MEDIATOR DEI, On the Sacred Liturgy, Thursday, November 20, 1947, ¶ 6.)

It is because of this heretical act that Pope Pius XII automatically incurred the censure of anathema which was solemnly decreed by Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Paul III [Saturday, October 13, 1534 - Thursday, November 10, 1549] and the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session Four, Monday, April 8, 1546, in the formal Decree De Canonicis Scripturis.

Wednesday, November 22, 1950

Wednesday, November 22, 1950.  Cardinal Lienart, president of the Cardinals and Archbishops of France, petitioned the Vatican to permit the celebration of the Easter Vigil at night rather than in the morning for “pastoral reasons”. The German Bishops also petition the Holy See.

Cardinal Lienart got more than he bargained for. Under the guise of a simple change of the time, a substantially rewritten rite was slipped in, even as later the NOR (Novus Ordo Rite), a.k.a. the Novus Ordo Missæ, was imposed in the name of the "vernacular", while ignoring the proverbial "elephant in the room" - the actual fact that only thirty percent of the text of the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic ancient Mass, a.k.a. the "Old Mass in Latin", remained!

Pius XII’s Disastrous Experimental Easter Vigil of 1950

Under the guise of a simple change of the time, a substantially rewritten rite was slipped in which included:

1. The principle of optional rites used experimentally was introduced.

2. For the first time, the vernacular was actually introduced into the liturgy itself.  This act was an imitation of the first step that was taken to change the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass by the first Protestant Archbishop of Canterbury in 1548 A.D. - Thomas Cranmer [b. Nottinghamshire, England in 1489 A.D. - d. burnt at the stake in Oxford, England in 1556 A.D.], the ex-Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury.

3. The rubric directing the celebrant to “sit and listen” (sedentes auscultant) to the lessons rather than reading them at the altar is introduced for the first time and is immediately interpreted as justifying the exclusive use of the vernacular in this part of the liturgy.

Tuesday, January 6, 1953. Pius XII's Apostolic Constitution Christus Cominus.  This was the promulgation of the new discipline for the Eucharistic fast.   (AAS 45, 1953; pp. 15-24).   By it the immemorial midnight Eucharistic fast was mitigated to three hours under certain conditions as a concession to modern weakness. The modernist liturgists, however, saw in this the beginning of the gradual destruction of the Church’s Sacramental discipline, which would end with Paul 6’s “15 minutes”.

Monday, September 14 to Friday, September 18, 1953

Monday, September 14 to Friday, September 18, 1953.  The liturgical congress meeting in Lugano, Switzerland takes as its theme:  The reform of Holy Week and Pastoral Liturgy.

Monday, December 7, 1953

Monday, December 7, 1953. Cardinal Cicognani becomes Prefect of the CSR - Sacred Congregation of Rites.  This was about 11 months after Pius XII made him a Cardinal on Monday, January 12, 1953.

1954

Tuesday, November 2, 1954

Tuesday, November 2, 1954.  Pius XII, in an allocution, warns priests not to change anything in the liturgy on their own authority. (AAS 45, 1954; page 670).

WHY was it necessary for Pius XII to give this warning way back in 1954?!!!  The self-evident reason is simply because a growing number of priests were already making their own changes to the liturgy, most especially to the Missale Romanum - the Missal used for Offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!!!   With this speech, Pius XII acknowledges that liturgical anarchy is going full speed ahead!  Apparently Pius XII did not issue any censures against those who continued to make changes, e.g. anathema?  This is the same tactic he used in Mediator Dei - Pius XII bemoaned a list of things he considered to be "straying from the straight path", but Pius XII did NOT issue any censures to stop these practices - it was as if he gave his approval to the clergy to continue to do these things!  Therefore, Pius XII was an obvious anti-Catholic Infiltrator!

What these practices were Pius XII enumerated in ¶ 62 as follows:

“.. it is neither wise nor laudable to reduce everything to antiquity by every possible device. Thus, to cite some instances, one would be straying from the straight path were he to:

wish the altar restored to its primitive tableform;

were he to want black excluded as a color for the liturgical vestments;

were he to forbid the use of sacred images and statues in Churches;

were he to order the crucifix so designed that the divine Redeemer's body shows no trace of His cruel sufferings...”

Pandora's box had been opened with the non-pope's - Pius XII - Experimental Easter Vigil of 1950 which, under the guise of a simple change of the time, not only introduced a substantially rewritten rite, but also, by this legal PRECEDENT, established the PRINCIPLE of using optional rites - apparently made up by anyone - which supposedly were only to be used experimentally!  Obviously, what was "optionally experimental" became the basis and the reason to change anything and everything as many times as the clergy so desired without the fear of any censures, e.g. anathema!  So this "warning" is a deceptive sham because Pius XII had already deliberately set the legal precedent that the clergy could do anything they wanted to do with any fears of being censured, e.g. excommunicated, because this is the SAME thing he did in Mediator Dei as shown above!

1955

Wednesday, March 23, 1955

Wednesday, March 23, 1955.  The CSR - The Sacred Congregation of Rites - issued the decree De Rubricis Ad Simpliciorem Formam Redigendis - On the Simplification of the Rubrics.  (AAS 47, 1955; pp. 218-224).

Wednesday, March 23, 1955

Wednesday, March 23, 1955.  The CSR - The Sacred Congregation of Rites - issued Cum Nostra Hac AEtate.  (Canon Law Digest 4:35 ff.)

So called “undesirable accretions” were removed from the Sacred Liturgy “in the light of modern scholarship,” to wit:

1. The ancient ranks of semi-double and simple feasts were abolished.

2.   Most vigils of feast days were suppressed, leaving the celebration of Vigils, e.g. for All Saints, the Apostles, Our Lady, etc., only “a shadow” of their former glory.

3. The number of octaves was reduced from fifteen to three. Some of the suppressed octaves went back to the Seventh Century!

4. For the first time a distinction between the “public” and “private” recitation of the Divine Office was introduced, even though tradition teaches us that the Office is, by its very nature, a public prayer. This foreshadowed the Novus Ordo distinction between Masses with and without people.

5. The “Our Fathers” recited in the Divine Office were reduced from sixteen to five, and the ten Hail Marys and three Creeds were entirely omitted, as were certain other prayers before and after the Divine Office.

6. The penitential ferial prayers were abolished with two minor exceptions.

7. The Suffrage of the Saints and the Commemoration of the Cross were abolished, and the beautiful Athanasian Creed, which dates from the eighth century, was said but once a year.

8. The additional Collects said at Mass during the different seasons of the year, e.g. those of Our Lady, those Against the Persecutors of the Church, etc., were abolished.

9. The Proper Last Gospel (the beginning of the Gospel of Saint John) was abolished.  This was a red flag that indicated Dualist Heretics were offering Mass, whether Manicheans, Cathars, Patarines, Albigensians, etc.!

Wednesday,  May 25, 1955

Wednesday, May 25, 1955.  The CSR - The Sacred Congregation of Rites - issued the decree De Instauratione Liturgica Maioris Hebdomade Positio.  (Typ. Pol. vat. 1955, 2. Hist. n. 90.)

The Destruction of the Ancient Liturgical Rites for Holy Week

Wednesday, November 16, 1955

Wednesday, November 16, 1955.  The non-pope, Pius XII, issued his Decree Maxima Redemptionis Nostræ Mysteria which, along with the Decree Liturgicu Hebdomadæ Sanctæ Ordo Instauratur - The Restoration of the Liturgy of Holy Week - threw out the venerable Holy Week Liturgy. That “this is merely a change of times” is a worn-out lie! The drastic revamping of most of the liturgy of the sacred week of the Liturgy was unjustifiable.  (AAS 47, 1955; pp. 838-847; The Sacred Congregation of Rites - Canon Law Digest 4:49 ff).

Wednesday, November 16, 1955.  The Sacred Congregation of Rites issued the decree Liturgicu Hebdomadæ Sanctæ Ordo instauratur - The Restoration of the Liturgy of Holy Week.  (AAS 47, 1955; pp. 838-847.)

Major Issues

The Revised Holy Week of 1955 was a kind of trial balloon for the Novus Ordo Missæ. Some of its issues included the following:

In General

1. Everything must be short and simple.

2. Primary rites are to be performed by the Priest with his back to the Altar, facing the people.  These included: the Blessing of Palms, the final prayer of the Palm Sunday Procession, the Holy Saturday Blessing of the Baptismal Water, etc.

3. The Prayers at the Foot of the Altar and the Last Gospel are suppressed for the first time.

4. Everyone, i.e. the Priest and the Laity, must recite together the “Our Father” On Good Friday.

Palm Sunday

The Palm Sunday Liturgy lost its ancient Rite of Blessing. The New Palm Sunday Liturgy incorporated various prayers of the Mass, and thus, by concomitance, associated the palm - which is a Sacramental, with the Holy Eucharist - which is a Sacrament.

The seven collects were reduced to one, the Fore-Mass of the Blessing entirely disappeared, as did the ceremony of the Gloria Laus at the door of the Church. The Passion account was shortened, omitting the Anointing at Bethany and the Last Supper.

The Triduum

The whole of the balance of the Triduum Sacrum, the last three days of Holy Week, was upset. The beautiful Office of Tenebræ practically disappeared, as did the popular devotion of the Tre Ore.

Holy Thursday

The Holy Thursday Liturgy of the morning was moved to the evening.  This clearly disobeyed the Papal Bull AD CUIUS NOTITIAM, of Tuesday, March 29, 1566 A.D., by Saint Pius V, Antonio-Michele Ghislieri [Friday, January 7, 1566 - Monday, May 1, 1572] which forbade the celebration of Holy Saturday and other solemnities, e.g. Holy Thursday, in the evening, or towards the time of sunset.

Good Friday

The Good Friday Liturgy was moved to the afternoon.  The ancient Mass of the Presanctified on Good Friday was abolished and replaced with a simple Communion Service for the people.  Contrary to immemorial custom, a genuflection was prescribed at the prayer for the perfidious Jews!  Obviously the work of the Zionist Jew Infiltrator, Cardinal Bea?!

Holy Saturday Vigil

The Holy Saturday Vigil was entirely changed, with the Prophecies reduced from twelve to four.

A Candle Lit from the New Fire
After the New Fire had first been Blessed

There was also a drastic modification of the Traditional Rite of the Blessing of the New Fire and the Paschal Candle.

Procession with the Triple Candelabra

For example, the triple candelabra, with its 3 candles, was abolished.

The Paschal Candle is cut.

Incense nails replaced the grains of incense.

Incense NAILS Pounded into the Paschal Candle
This Symbolizes the Crucifixion - by Incense NAILS - of the Risen Christ

The incense nails - yes, they are NAILS with incense supposedly being in the waxed nail head with each nail head being made to represent the heads of the nails that were used to Crucify Christ on the Cross! - are “nailed” into the Paschal candle (the Risen Christ is thus NAILED/CRUCIFIED again - symbolically!)

Obviously the work of the Zionist Jew Infiltrator, Cardinal Bea?!

While some Catholics, especially those who are faithful to the authentic Apostolic Tradition, may be shocked, others may not be all that surprised, to learn that these Christ-hating Zionist Infiltrators symbolically “Crucify the Risen Christ” by having nails with incense in their heads “pounded” into the Pascal Candle which is the symbol of the Risen Christ, victorious over death and over the perfidious Zionist Jews!
 

But, in the unchangeable Missale Romanum, the rubrics indicate five grains of incense (not nails) be placed on (not in) the Paschal Candle to indicate the five wounds in the Sacred Body of Christ risen from the grave, as the Gospel testifies (John 20:27-29). They are placed as a Greek + Cross as in the diagram to the right.

But the Zionist Jew Infiltrators have left their anti-Christ “mark” of the Beast on The Revised Holy Week of 1955 by rubrics that require the following configuration as shown in the diagram to the left.  Check the 1955 Holy Week Ritual for yourself! The revised rubrics of 1955 require: 1) that the Pascal Candle be CUT - thus symbolically CUTTING the risen Sacred Body of Christ - albeit in the form of a Cross; 2) that the Pascal Candle be CUT - thus symbolically not only CUTTING the risen Sacred Body of Christ, but also mocking Christ in their Satanic hatred of disbelief - in the symbolic characters of the Greek A (representing alpha) and the Greek omega character (representing omega), being direct references to Christ: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord God, Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come, the Almighty (Apocalypse 1:8).

It should be easy to see how this strange pattern in placing the NAILS of incense easily makes the Zionist Star of David!  Draw a line from 5-6-4-5. Draw a different line from 7-8-1-7. In case you need help, here is how it looks with the lines drawn in for you in the diagram to the left.  By the way, the 3 and 2 are apparently used to confuse the mind in an attempt to hide the obvious Zionist Star of David!

The Holy Saturday Liturgy was also moved from the morning to the evening. This clearly disobeyed the Papal Bull AD CUIUS NOTITIAM, of Tuesday, March 29, 1566 A.D., by Saint Pius V, Antonio-Michele Ghislieri [Friday, January 7, 1566 - Monday, May 1, 1572] which forbade the celebration of the Holy Saturday liturgy in the evening, or towards the time of sunset.

Vigil Service for Pentecost Eve

In 1955 there was also the entire suppression of the equally ancient Vigil Service for Pentecost Eve.

Finally, in 1955 the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, was suppressed. It was replaced with a kind of Feast Day of Labor, Saint Joseph the Worker, on the international socialist holiday of May Day, a.k.a. Communist Day - thus but one example of the Communist infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church!

Sunday, December 25, 1955.  The non-pope, Pius XII issued his Encyclical Musicæ Sacræ Disciplina. (AAS 48, 1956; pp. 5-25.)

Wednesday, September 3, 1958.  CSR - The Sacred Congregation of Rites - Instruction: “De musica sacra et sacra liturgia ad memtem litterarum encyclicarum Pii Papæ XII Musicæ Sacræ Disciplina et Mediator Dei. - The Sacred Music and the Sacred Liturgy according to the norms of the encyclical letters of Pope Pius XII ‘The Art of Sacred Music’ and ‘The Mediator between God and man.’” (AAS 50, 1958; pp. 630-663.)

Thursday, October 9, 1958

Thursday, October 9, 1958.  Death of Pope Pius XII.

Tuesday, October 28, 1958

Tuesday, October 28, 1958.  Contested Election of 2nd John XXIII (2nd John 23rd), Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli [Tuesday, October 28, 1958 - Monday, June 3, 1963]  (AAS 50, 1958; p. 837.)

Some claim that Cardinal Siri had been elected Pope but was forced to resign or not to acknowledge his election - which election ended up being simply ignored or ridiculed by the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist factions in the Papal Election Conclave.

IF true, then there were TWO popes at the same time - Pope Roncalli and Pope Siri!!!

Conclusion

Since this all happened during the vacancy of the non-Pope, Pius XII, who had automatically excommunicated himself from the Roman Catholic Church, and therefore from the Roman Catholic Office of the Papacy itself, the so-called Restoration of the Liturgy of Holy Week, of Wednesday, November 16, 1955, is not only illegal, it is, more importantly, even invalid, even though Pius XII did not die until Thursday, October 9, 1958, because, ever since 1941 or 1942, when Pius XII automatically excommunicated himself, he no longer had any Ecclesiastical Power, Authority, and/or Jurisdiction to do anything - even the Masses he himself offered had automatically become the "wormwood" of the Apocalypse!  (Apocalypse 8:11; Proverbs 5:4; Jeremias 9:15, 23:15; Lamentations 3:15, 3:19; Amos 5:7, 6:13).

This is also but one of various reasons why the so-called 2nd Missal of the 2nd Pope, John 23rd, of 1962, which is widely used by various conservative elements in the Satanic Vatican 2 church, is per se illegal and invalid!

Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent

Unfortunately, this also means that all of the Clergy, whether Priests or Prelates (Bishops of whatever rank of Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction) who use the so-called 2nd Missal of the 2nd Pope, John 23, of 1962, automatically incur at the very least, these two anathemæ (automatic excommunications) of the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent:

"Canon 6.  If anyone says that the Canon of the [Ancient Roman Rite of] Mass contains errors and is therefore to be changed; let him be anathema" (Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 6; emphasis added).

Commentary:  Anyone who inserts the name of Saint Joseph into the Canon of the Mass is, in reality - despite all denials to the contrary - taking the position that the Canon of the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass contains errors because it omits the name of Saint Joseph from this Canon.

“Canon 9.  If anyone says that the [Ancient] Rite of the Roman Church...  is to be condemned... let him be anathema.”  (Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 9; emphasis added).

Commentary:  Anyone who inserts the name of Saint Joseph into the Canon of the Mass is, in reality - despite all denials to the contrary - taking the position that the Canon of the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass is to be condemned because of its omission of the name of Saint Joseph from this Canon.

The Unchangeable Ontological Essence of the Gregorian Canon

Modernist Heretic Infiltrator - 2nd Pope John 23

In addition, the so-called 2nd Missal of the Modernist Heretic Infiltrator 2nd Pope, John 23, of 1962, does NOT contain the unchangeable ontological essence of the Gregorian Canon of the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass as it comes to us, via Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V, from Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Gregory I in the 5th Century.

On the contrary, by the very nature of the unchangeable ontological essence of the Gregorian Canon of the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass, the so-called 2nd Missal of the 2nd Pope, John 23, of 1962 does NOT contain the unchangeable ontological essence of the Gregorian Canon of the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass, but instead contains only the 2nd NEW Order Mass (2nd Novus Ordo Missæ) Canon of  the so-called Canon of the so-called 2nd Missal of the 2nd Pope, John 23, of 1962  of the Satanic Vatican 2 church (based upon Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi) which is not Catholic, but anti-Catholic!!!

Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi
The Law of Praying is the Law of Believing
You Pray What You Believe and You Believe What You Pray

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Celestine I
[Saturday, September 10, 422  - Tuesday, July 27, 432]

Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi is a shortened phrase based upon this Roman Catholic infallible Papal teaching, to wit:  The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Celestine I [Saturday, September 10, 422  - Tuesday, July 27, 432] taught the principle: Legem Credendi Lex Statuit Supplicandi.  [The Liturgical form of prayer becomes the standard of Faith.]  This is sometimes shortened to simply Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi: The Law of Praying is the Law of Believing.

This simply means that you express, by a public, exterior liturgical act of worship, your own personal interior beliefs of your faith.

Therefore, you pray what you believe and you believe what you pray.

Hence, because the so-called 2nd Missal of the Modernist Heretic Infiltrator 2nd Pope John 23, of 1962 does NOT contain the unchangeable ontological essence of the Gregorian Canon of the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass, but instead contains only the 2nd NEW Order Mass (2nd Novus Ordo Missæ) Canon of  the so-called Canon of the so-called 2nd Missal of the Heretic 2nd Pope John 23, of 1962  of the Satanic Vatican 2 church, those Priests and Prelates who use he so-called 2nd Missal of the Heretic 2nd Pope John 23, of 1962  of the Satanic Vatican 2 church pray and believe the "faith" of the Satanic Vatican 2 church, which is not, by definition, and not by faith, and not by belief, and not by its 2nd NEW Order Mass (2nd Novus Ordo Missæ) Canon of 1962, the Roman Catholic Church, but is rather an anti-Catholic church which was founded by the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist heretic Infiltrators at their Convention, a.k.a. Synod Vatican 2, which they convoked in the person of one of their own Infiltrators, namely the Freemason and Modernist Heretic, the 2nd Pope, John 23.

Infallible Roman Catholic Council Vatican 1
[Wednesday, December 8, 1869 A.D. - Monday, July 18, 1870 A.D.]

Roman Catholic infallible Papal teaching is based primarily upon the Roman Catholic Vatican Council I which taught that all Roman Catholic Popes are Infallible in their Ordinary Magisterium.  Now the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Celestine I was an Infallible Roman Catholic Pope.  Therefore, Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Celestine I was Infallible in the exercise of his Ordinary Papal Magisterium.

ALL Valid Roman Catholic Popes Have Been Infallible!

Roman Catholic Bishop Dupanloup
[b. at Saint-Félix, in Haute-Savoie, France on Sunday, January 3, 1802 -
d. at the château of La Combe-de-Lancey, France on Friday, October 11, 1878]

A Council Father at the Infallible Roman Catholic Council Vatican 1
[Wednesday, December 8, 1869 A.D. - Monday, July 18, 1870 A.D.]

N.B.  This basic Truth - that all valid Roman Catholic Popes are Infallible  - was enunciated by a Vatican 1 Council Father, Bishop Félix Antoine Philibert Dupanloup [b. at Saint-Félix, in Haute-Savoie, France on Sunday, January 3, 1802 - d. at the château of La Combe-de-Lancey, France on Friday, October 11, 1878], in his famous Observations on the Infallible Roman Catholic Council Vatican 1.

In it he says in part that:

“if we declared Pius IX

[Giovanni M. Mastai Ferretti, Tuesday, June 16, 1846 - Thursday, February 7, 1878 - who was the Pope at the time of the Infallible Roman Catholic Council Vatican 1]

infallible, we are bound, as a natural and necessary inference, to hold that all of his Papal predecessors are also infallible.”

So this is why, among all previous valid Infallible Roman Catholic Popes, the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint  Celestine I, was also Infallible!
Every Valid Roman Catholic Pope is Infallible in his Ordinary Magisterium per Vatican 1

Infallible Roman Catholic Council Vatican 1
[Wednesday, December 8, 1869 A.D. - Monday, July 18, 1870 A.D.]
Infallibly Decreed the Roman Catholic Pope is Infallible in his Ordinary Magisterium!

Ordinary Papal Magisterium:  “2. Wherefore we teach and declare that, by divine ordinance, the Roman church [i.e. in the person of the Pope - the Power and Character of the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff] possesses a pre-eminence of ordinary power [i.e. Ordinary Jurisdiction] over every other church, and that THIS jurisdictional power of the Roman pontiff [i.e. the Roman Catholic Pope] is both episcopal and immediate. Both clergy and faithful, of whatever rite and dignity, both singly and collectively, are bound to submit to this power by the duty of hierarchical subordination and true obedience, and this not only in matters concerning faith and morals, but also in those which regard the discipline and government of the church throughout the world.”  (Infallible Roman Catholic Council Vatican 1 [Wednesday, December 8, 1869 A.D. - Monday, July 18, 1870 A.D.], Session 4, Monday, July 18, 1870, First Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, Chapter 3. On the Power and Character of the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff, ¶ 2).

Clarifications:  Please note that this Chapter 3 concerns “the Power and Character of the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff”, NOT the Power and Character of the Primacy of the Roman church!!

Therefore, when one reads that “the Roman church possesses a pre-eminence of ordinary power over every other church”, one finds, immediately after this, “that THIS jurisdictional power of the Roman pontiff is both episcopal and immediate.”  But to what exactly does the “THIS” in “THIS jurisdictional power of the Roman pontiff” refer?

“This” logically refers to something already stated.  What is it that was already stated?  “... the Roman church possesses a pre-eminence of ordinary power”.

What this document is really saying is that “THIS jurisdictional power of the Roman pontiff” is really the “ordinary power” possessed by “the Roman church”.

When the document says “the Roman church possesses a pre-eminence of ordinary power” and then explains that this “ordinary power” is “jurisdictional power of the Roman pontiff”, this is just juridical double-talk which simply means that this document is really saying in effect that it is “the Roman pontiff” who is the one who “possesses a pre-eminence of ordinary power”.

The importance of this “ordinary power” is that this refers to the “Ordinary Magisterium” of the Office of the Papacy.  The “ordinary power” of the “Ordinary Magisterium” simply means that this refers to the “ordinary” activities and acts of the Pope as the Pope which includes everything except the personal activities of the Pope, e.g. taking a shower, shaving, listening to the radio, watching TV, eating, etc.

That this is the correct meaning of this document is verified by what the same sources have declared in the following document:

“9. So, then, if anyone says that the Roman pontiff has merely an office of supervision and guidance, and not the full and supreme power of jurisdiction over the whole church, and this not only in matters of faith and morals, but also in those which concern the discipline and government of the church dispersed throughout the whole world; or that he has only the principal part, but not the absolute fullness, of this supreme power; or that this power of his is not ordinary and immediate both over all and each of the churches and over all and each of the pastors and faithful:  let him be anathema.”  (Synod Vatican 1 [Wednesday, December 8, 1869 A.D. - Monday, July 18, 1870 A.D.], Session 4, Monday, July 18, 1870, First Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, Chapter 3. On the Power and Character of the Primacy of the Roman pontiff, ¶ 9).

Here the document mentions only “the Roman pontiff” who has “full and supreme power of jurisdiction over the whole church”.  This document repeats the same terminology found in Chapter 3. On the Power and Character of the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff, ¶ 2, here in Chapter 3. On the Power and Character of the Primacy of the Roman pontiff, ¶ 9, namely that this “full and supreme power of jurisdiction” applies “not only in matters concerning faith and morals, but also in those which regard the discipline and government of the church”.

In Anglo-Saxon English this means the Pope has an immediate ordinary universal Magisterium because his immediate ordinary universal power is the full and supreme power of jurisdiction, not only in regard to “matters of faith and morals”, but even to those matters “which concern the discipline and government of the church”.

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Celestine I
[Saturday, September 10, 422  - Tuesday, July 27, 432]

The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Celestine I was using his infallible Immediate Ordinary Universal Magisterium because his Immediate Ordinary Universal Power is the Full and Supreme Power of Jurisdiction, a Jurisdiction which automatically includes his infallibility, otherwise his infallibility would not contain the Full and Supreme Power of Jurisdiction.

Infallible Roman Catholic Council Vatican 1
[Wednesday, December 8, 1869 A.D. - Monday, July 18, 1870 A.D.]

N.B.  Session 4, Chapter 3, On the Power and Character of the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff, ¶ 2 and ¶ 9 both imply Papal infallibility without explicitly using the word “infallibility” because such deliberate double-talk was the only way those who were in favor of Papal Infallibility, not only for when the Pope speaks ex cathedra (from the chair), which is found in Session 4, Monday, July 18, 1870, First Dogmatic Constitution on the Church of Christ, Chapter 4. On the infallible teaching authority of the Roman pontiff [i.e. the Pope], ¶ 9, but also who were in favor of Papal Infallibility when the Pope uses his Ordinary Magisterium, could get the necessary votes from reluctant Council Fathers with such labored, and somewhat deliberately misleading, terminology, and thus resorted to these deceptive, double-talk, tactics with their emphasis on the infallible Pope's Ordinary Magisterium which Ordinary Magisterium would be exercised under Papal infallibility!

Infallible Roman Catholic Council Vatican 1
[Wednesday, December 8, 1869 A.D. - Monday, July 18, 1870 A.D.]

The bottom line in this confusion is simply this:  crafty Council Fathers, who wanted the Office of the Papacy, which is concomitant in the person of the Pope who holds the Office of the Papacy, declared to be infallible, even in regard to the Ordinary Magisterium of the Pope, deliberately worded their document in such a way that Papal infallibility itself was automatically exercised every time the Pope exercised his Ordinary Magisterium!

In other words, both Infallible Dogmatic Decrees depended on the other, just as human beings have two legs and two feet with which to walk, so also, regarding the Pope and the Papacy, the "left leg of Papal Infallibility" can not function without the "right leg of the Ordinary Magisterium of the Pope" - both "legs" had to function together, not separately.

Therefore, the  "right leg of the Ordinary Magisterium of the Pope" requires the "left leg of Papal Infallibility" to function correctly!  Neither "leg" can function correctly on its own!

Summary on Papal Infallibility
Infallibly Decreed by the Roman Catholic Council Vatican 1

Papal Infallibility is based upon the Papal Ordinary Magisterium and the Papal Ordinary Magisterium is based upon Papal Infallibility - neither one is able to exist, or even to function, without the other one!

Ex Cathedra is only the solemn part of the Papal Ordinary Magisterium which is rarely used because it is not really needed or necessary because the Papal Ordinary Magisterium per se provides all that is necessary for Papal Infallibility to function without any limitations.

These unlimited functions of Papal Infallibility are what were provided by Session 4, Chapter 3, On the Power and Character of the Primacy of the Roman Pontiff, in ¶ 2 and ¶ 9!

Catholic Ancestors

Catholic Ancestors - 1954 A.D.

Therefore, our Catholic Ancestors were very fortunate to have been able to assist at the Holy Week Liturgies which were offered by Celebrants (Priests and Prelates - Bishops of whatever rank of Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction) who used a Missale Romanum that contained only the Holy Week Liturgy of the Missale Romanum as it had been issued by the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V on Tuesday, July 14, 1570!

Here again, this was back in the "good old days" when everyone was either a "Catholic" or a "non-Catholic" and this business that goes about in the dark deliberately trying to label faithful "Catholics" as "Traditional Catholics" for their own evil purposes of victimization and the furtherance of their agenda as anti-Catholic Infiltrators, are perfidious in the Holy Eyes of Almighty God!

Web Sites

Anyone who has had any experience at all in searching for various data on the internet might possibly know - most likely better than I do - about how many web pages there are about different subjects, including the term "Traditional Catholic"?

I have just done a search on Google for "Traditional Catholic".   Here are the results I got:  There are "about 253,000 [results] for 'Traditional Catholic'"!

I then followed that up with another search, this time on Yahoo, which gave me "1,030,000 results for 'traditional Catholic'"!

NO WONDER almost everyone - Catholics and non-Catholics - seem to be so totally confused/misled about who/what a Catholic is.  Likewise, what a misnomered "Traditional Catholic" is and what this term really means!

I remember doing a similar search, probably about 10 years ago.  The results I got back were very, very small by comparison.

About 15 years ago, IF I remember correctly, it seems that there were less than 6 web sites which were "Traditional Catholic"!

To the best of my knowledge, today there are no more than three Catholic  (misnomered as "Traditional Catholic"), web sites which are operated and/or controlled in some way by Priests/Bishops who have either graduated from, and/or were in, Roman Catholic Seminaries before Synod Vatican 2 began on Thursday, October 11, 1962!  All three of us are members of Religious Congregations/Religious Orders.  There had been one by a secular (i.e. by the Priest of a Diocese) Priest, but he died of old age a few years ago.

One of these three web sites is the one I have:   http://www.shrineofsaintjude.net/

Another is by a "Traditional" Dominican and the third is by a "Traditional" Franciscan.

Yes, I personally know these other two and have met both of them a number of times at various Clergy Conferences in the U.S.A.  I was also the Arch-Priest for one of them at his Episcopal Consecration some years ago.  But both of them are at least ten years older than me - and I have been around a long time!  Last I heard, both of them seem to be in poor health?

It is true that the search on Yahoo, which gave me "1,030,000 results for 'traditional Catholic'" does not necessary translate into actual numbers of web sites, but only that the term "Traditional Catholic" is found over one million times on an unknown number of internet web sites - which unknown number is most probably, at a minimum, at least 1,000 to 10,000 actual web sites?!

In any event, some of these unknown numbers of Catholic (erroneously called - "Traditional Catholic") web sites are operated/owned either by Clergy who are much younger than the three of us.  Because of their age, they would have attended seminaries after Vatican 2 [Wednesday, December 8, 1965], or by sincere Catholic 2nd Order (i.e. Laybrothers, Nuns, Sisters), or 3rd Order members, or by ordinary Catholic laymen and Catholic laywomen.

The one problem all of them have, no matter how intelligent and/or how much moral integrity they have, is that none of any of these other web sites have anyone at them who has received the personal Catholic Traditional training and education as the three of us (mentioned above) have received in physically attending Roman Catholic Seminaries before Synod Vatican 2 began on Thursday, October 11, 1962, and which educational Roman Catholic Seminary Curriculum Synod Vatican 2 drastically changed, beginning in the Roman Catholic Seminaries which they changed into Satanic Vatican 2 church seminaries!

It should be mentioned that since Synod Vatican 2, several Catholic seminaries, which claimed to be "Traditional", began operations in the U.S.  Unfortunately, of these, to the best of my own personal knowledge, there are probably only about two or three of them that are not connected to the Vatican in one way or another?

I strongly suspect that this is the basic reason for some of the various confusing contradictions I have discovered in visiting a few of these "Traditional Catholic" web sites?  I hope that most of them are sincere and honest.  But even the ones which apparently have various Clergy running them, which I have personally visited, seem to lack the "mentality", if you will, of the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, the decrees of which were the basis upon which the pre-Vatican 2 Roman Catholic Seminary system was based.

So I totally empathize with all of you who are confused, misled, and unsure of who/what is right/wrong - or even IF there is such a thing anymore as what is or is not right or wrong!  IF I was in your shoes, I probably would be in the same state of mind as are you?!

But because, by the Grace of God, I am apparently one of the few surviving Clergy/web masters who received my pre-Synod Vatican 2 Roman Catholic Seminary education according to the decrees of the 16th Century Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent [Thursday, December 13, 1545 A.D. - Wednesday, December 4, 1563 A.D.], which explains why I am writing on this subject which my own pre-Vatican 2, Roman Catholic Seminary education - an education which, in its day, was considered to be the best Catholic education one could possible ever get - has, by the Most Holy Will and Grace of God, provided!  Needless to say, my Roman Catholic Seminary Education was very Traditional and based on the teachings of the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent in accordance with their Decrees.  This should not be misinterpreted as an act of pride on my part, on the contrary Truth can only be attained by the exercise of the Virtue of Humility which is the basis of all of the Virtues, as well as the basis of Truth!

What is Truth?

"Pilate saith to Him:  What is Truth?"
(John 18:38)

This leads one to the logical question:  "What is Truth?"  The same question Pilate asked Christ.

A knowledge of what Truth is will free a person from confusion, from ignorance, from deception, from lies, from fallacies, from being victimized by those who try to take advantage of one's ignorance, etc.

Almighty God, in His Infinite Wisdom and Mercy created your Soul with two powers - intellect and will.

The intellect, by its created nature, seeks only the Truth.  In theology the axiom is:  The object of the intellect is Truth.

The will, by its created nature, seeks only the Good.  In theology the axiom is:  The object of the will is that which is Good.

I respectfully and humbly invite you to review a few basic Truths about Truth:

Scripture

“What Truth can come from that which is false?”  (Ecclesiasticus  34:4).

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw His glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of Grace and Truth” (John 1:14).

“For the law was given by Moses; Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17).

“I am the Way, and the Truth and the Life.  No man cometh to the Father but by Me” (John 14:6).

“But when the Paraclete [God the Holy Ghost] cometh, Whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth, Who proceedeth from the Father, He shall give testimony of Me” (John 15:26).

“But when He [God the Holy Ghost], the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will teach you all Truth” (John 16:13).

“Pilate therefore said to Him:  Art Thou a king then?  Jesus answered:  Thou sayest that I am a king.  For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the Truth.  Every one that is of the Truth, heareth My voice” (John 18:37).

“Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the Truth?” (Galatians 4:16).

“...because they receive not the love of the Truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying” (2 Thessalonians 2:10).

“Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the Truth” (2 Timothy 3:7).

“For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears: And will indeed turn away their hearing from the Truth, but will be turned unto fables” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

“No lie is of the Truth”  (1 John 2:21).

“And it is the Spirit which testifieth, that Christ is the Truth” (1 John 5:6).

A Father of the Church

Bishop Saint Augustine, O.S.A., D.D.
[b. Tagaste, Africa, Saturday, November 13, 354 A.D. -
d. Hippo Regia, Africa, Wednesday, August 28, 430 A.D.]

“Anyone who conceals the Truth for fear of some authority calls down the wrath of God upon himself, because he fears men more than God...Both are guilty:  he who conceals the Truth and he who speaks falsehood, because the former does not wish to make the Truth known and the latter desires not to refute it” (Bishop Saint Augustine, a.k.a. Aurelius Augustinus [b. Tagaste, Africa, Saturday, November 13, 354 A.D. - d. Hippo Regia, Africa, Wednesday, August 28, 430 A.D.], Bishop of Hippo Regia, Father and Doctor of the Catholic Church, the Doctor of Grace, a protégé of Patriarch Saint Ambrose [b. in Gaul, possibly at Trier, Arles, or Lyons in 340 A.D. - d. at Milan, Italy on Friday, April 4, 397 A.D.] Patriarch of Milan [374 A.D. - Friday, April 4, 397 A.D.]. Saint Augustine -  Ad Casulanus, Cause 11, Question 3, Quisquis.)

A Doctor of the Church

Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P.
[b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy -
d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy]

God is Truth.  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica, Part I, Question 16, Article 5; Summa Theologica, Part II-II, Question 93, Article 2, Reply to Objection 2. Summa Contra Gentiles, Book I, Chapter 60.)

“Truth cannot be Truth’s contrary”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Contra Gentiles, Book IV, 8).

“Every Truth without exception, and whoever may utter it, is from the Holy Ghost”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Theologica, Part I-II, Question 109, Article 1, Reply to Objection 1).

“Truth knows no distinction of persons.  Therefore, he who speaks the Truth is invincible, dispute with whom he may”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Commentary on Job, Chapter 13, Lesson 2).

Popes

"God is not only true, but Truth Itself"  (Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Leo XIII, Gioacchino Pecci [Wednesday, February 20, 1878 - Monday, July 20, 1903], Encyclical, Æterni Patris, On the Restoration of Christian Philosophy, Monday, August 4, 1879 A.D.).

"Truth and its philosophic expression cannot change from day to day" (Pius XII, Eugenio Pacelli [Thursday, March 2, 1939 - Thursday, October 9, 1958], Humani Generis, Wednesday, April 12, 1950).

What is Opinion?

I respectfully and humbly invite you to review a few basic Truths about Opinion:

Saint Thomas More

Saint Thomas More, Martyred for the Holy Faith
[b. at London, England in 1477 A.D. -
d. martyred, at Tower Hill, London, England, on Saturday, July 6, 1535 A.D.]

When Sir Saint Thomas More, [b. at London, England in 1477 A.D. - d. martyred, at Tower Hill, London, England, on Saturday, July 6, 1535 A.D.] refused to follow the Bishops of England into apostasy, hypocrite Tom Audley

(Sir Thomas Audley, 1st Baron Audley of Walden, KG (Order of the Garter), PC (Privy Council of England), KS (King’s Serjeant) [b.  at Earls Colne, Essex, England in c. 1488 A.D. - d. at London, England on Sunday, April 30, 1544 A.D.]),

the anti-Catholic Speaker of the House of Commons, taunted Sir Saint Thomas More with this contemptuous question:

“What, More, you wish to be considered wiser and of better conscience than all the bishops and nobles of the realm?

To this More replied,

My lord, for one bishop of your opinion I have a hundred saints of mine; and for one parliament of yours, and God knows of what kind, I have all the General Councils for 1,000 years, and for one kingdom I have France and all the kingdoms of Christendom” (The Paris Newsletter Account of More’s Trial and Execution, Sunday, August 4, 1535, Letters and Papers, Foreign and Domestic, of the Reign of Henry VIII, Volume 8, # 996, Edited by J.S. Brewer and James Gairdner, London; Longmans and Co., 1882; emphasis added).

A different source has it this way with more details:

“For I nothing doubt but that,” he [More] told Audley, “though not in this realm, yet in Christendom about, of these well learned bishops and virtuous men that are yet alive, they be not the fewer part that are of my mind therein. But if I should speak of those that are already dead, of whom many be now holy saints in heaven, I am very sure it is the far greater part of them that, all the while they lived, thought in this case that way I think now; and therefore I am not bounder, my Lord, to conform my conscience to the Council of one realm against the general Council of Christendom. For of the aforesaid holy bishops I have, for every bishop of yours, above one hundred; and for one Council or Parliament of yours (God knoweth what manner of one) I have all the Councils made these thousand years. And for this one Kingdom, I have all other Christian realms”  (John Villiers Farrow [b. at Sydney, Australia, on Wednesday, February 10, 1904 - d. from a heart attack at Beverly Hills, California on Monday, January 28, 1963], Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, married to actress Maureen Paula O’Sullivan [b. at Boyle, County Roscommon, Ireland on Wednesday, May 17, 1911 - d. at Scottsdale, Arizona on Tuesday, June 23, 1998], The Story of Thomas More, Chapter 17; emphasis added).

1. Opinions replace Truth.

In this world the first and fundamental doctrine of power consists of an affirmation that there is no truth.  Saint Augustine said that the difference between the city of this world and the City of God consists of the former having a thousand opinions, while the latter has only one Truth.  The basic difference between both cities, therefore, is not based on the content, but on the very existence of Truth.  It suffices to remember the dramatic dialogue between Jesus and Pilate.

What is most grave is that there is a technique to replace Truth by opinions.  This technique exists and is very useful.  It suffices to look at present religious, literary, and philosophical productions.  Opinions can be so cautiously expressed that it is impossible to get to know what the author’s thesis is, or even more paradoxical, doctrines that are mutually contradictory are juxtaposed as if they were consistent.

Let us look at the words:  "God is dead".  If the slogan were denial everybody would be able to understand.  However, here we have a subtly sophisticated idea through which "theologians" want to convey the deceitful impression that they are preserving the most assayed and chemically pure idea of God...through its "identification" with the most profound reality of man.

Even the ambiguous terms "conservative" and "progressive" [i.e. liberal; Modernist] conceal the relativistic technique, which leads every doctrinal issue in the direction of right wing and left wing.  Thus everything becomes relative; everything becomes a matter of opinions and an instrument of power.  Relativity of Truth and doctrine is the actual goal of these arbitrary developments of the Church’s present problems.  Is not this measure, proclaimed even by bishops and cardinals among Us, absurd and most unjust, as if it were an ideal to place us halfway between Truth and error?

2.   Is Gnosis Reappearing?

(Note:  The Cardinal prefers the term Gnosis instead of Modernism perhaps because these things are the modern-day version of Gnosticism.)  Let it be remembered that Gnosis, with its appeal to science and higher speculation, with its eagerness to understand mystery and to naturalize the Faith, was, during the second century, perhaps the worst danger in all the history of the Church.  I believe that the complex of errors circulating today can be called Gnosis, systematically speaking.  But....do many people know what they are talking about?  This is terrible, but they do not!

One does not act on rational grounds, but on one’s excessive desire to adapt oneself to the world.  Worldly power, however, has its own philosophy, and fashionable theologians translate fashionable opinions into theological language, not because they accept a doctrine as such, but because they accept these doctrines that flatter the powers of this world.

The present times are grave, not because it is not longer a question of opposition or contrast between Truth and error, but between Truth and non-truth, between the order of Truth and the dictatorship of public opinion.  PEOPLE BELIEVE THEY ARE FREE BECAUSE THIS APPEARS IN JURIDICAL TESTS; AS A MATTER OF FACT, THIS DECEIVING BELIEF IS EVIDENCE OF THEIR SERVITUDE.

Is the Church also under the despotism of public opinion?  Perhaps not the Church, but certainly many people within the Church are.  The Church could not be deprived of its freedom with the Holy Spirit’s provoking powerful reactions....

3.  What is Most Urgent?

The most urgent work is to restore the distinction between Truth and error in the Church.  We have reached a point where any exercise of Ecclesiastical Authority is considered an abuse of freedom, as if authority were a denial of freedom!  A thousand illegitimate powers severely and systematically curtain the conscience and liberty of people at a superficial level, while at the deepest level they detach them from the truth contained in the sources of revelation and the Magisterium.  I hope that just and authorized distinctions will be forthcoming.  PASTORAL AUTHORITY IS NO ART OF COMPROMISE AND CONCESSION, BUT THE ART OF SAVING SOULS THROUGH THE TRUTH.

This Truth is many times obscured by abusive liturgical deformations.  Today dangerous losses are discovered in the essential.  Not only is the Rite sacred, but also the presence in the Rite of the meaningful reality.  Once the Rite is mythologized the meaning of its contents is lost. No wonder that the Eucharist becomes for some a mere feast of human unity where God is just a spectator.  THIS IS NO LONGER HERESY, BUT APOSTASY.

The present situation in the Church is one of the most grave in its history, for this time the challenge does not come from outer persecution, but from inner perversion.  This is very grave.  But the gates of Hell will not prevail.   (Giuseppe Cardinal Siri [b. Sunday, May 20, 1906 in Genoa, Italy - d. Tuesday, May 2, 1989], Archbishop of Genoa, Italy.

What Makes the Mass the Mass?

Pontifical Low Mass Offered in Catacombs III by a Roman Catholic Archbishop

This was not a Memorial Supper Meal at a Table,
But an Unbloody, Mystical Sacrifice Offered to God on an Altar!

With the above quick background data, I hope what follows will be much more easily seen, as well as understood, from the clear perspective of the Truth.

Earlier, I mentioned how God created your immortal Soul.  But the obvious is that God also created your human body into which to infuse your human Soul that is immortal - the life principle as some call it.  This is why death happens when the Soul is separated from the body.

Almighty God is our Creator

Almighty God is our Creator and all human beings are His creatures.  This means there is a very specific relationship between God, the Infinite Creator, and mankind the finite creatures God has created.

Because of this relationship, God, our Creator, has required that mankind must perform certain acts in which to recognize this relationship with Him.  These are the acts of worship, petition, thanksgiving, and, after Original Sin, propitiation.  God has required that these four primary acts be performed by the means of a blood sacrifice.

Cain and Abel Offered Sacrifice to God

But a Bloody Sacrifice Offered on an Altar!

"And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.  Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.  But to Cain and his offerings He had no respect" (Genesis 4:-3-5).

Noe Built an Altar unto the Lord

This was not a Memorial Supper Meal at a Table,
But a Bloody Sacrifice Offered on an Altar!

"And Noe built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean, offered holocausts upon the altar.  And the Lord smelled a sweet savour, and said: I will no more curse the earth for the sake of man" (Genesis 8:20-21).

The Rainbow - The Sign of the Covenant Between God and All Flesh

9:11. I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood, neither shall there be from henceforth a flood to waste the earth.
9:12. And God said: This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations.
9:13. I will set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be the sign of a covenant between me and between the earth.
9:14. And when I shall cover the sky with clouds, my bow shall appear in the clouds:
9:15. And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh.
9:16. And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant, that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth.
9:17. And God said to Noe: This shall be the sign of the covenant, which I have established, between Me and all flesh upon the earth"  (Genesis 9:11-17).

Abraham and his Sacrifice to God

This was not a Memorial Supper Meal at a Table,
But a Bloody Sacrifice Offered to God on an Altar!

22:9. And they came to the place which God had shewn him, where he [Abraham] built an altar, and laid the wood in order upon it; and when he had bound Isaac his son, he laid him on the altar upon the pile of wood.
22:10. And he put forth his hand, and took the sword, to sacrifice his son.
22:11. And behold, an angel of the Lord from heaven called to him, saying: Abraham, Abraham. And he answered: Here I am.
22:12. And he said to him: Lay not thy hand upon the boy, neither do thou any thing to him: now I know that thou fearest God, and hast not spared thy only begotten son for my sake.
22:13. Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw behind his back a ram, amongst the briers, sticking fast by the horns, which he took and offered for a holocaust instead of his son.  (Genesis 22:9-13)
 
 

Moses Kneeling Before God In the Burning Bush

Moses Kneeling Before God In the Burning Bush

The Book of LEVITICUS treats of the Mosaic Rite Offices, Ministries, Rites, and Ceremonies of its Priests and Levites.

Here the Bible tells us about the great details God gave to Moses concerning the Mosaic Liturgical Rites for offering the blood sacrifices of animals to Him.

The Mosaic Liturgical Rite of the blood sacrifices of animals
was performed by Priests who were Ordained for this purpose.
 
 

This was NOT a Jewish Seder SUPPER, but a Blood SACRIFICE.

This was not a Memorial Supper Meal at a Table,
But a Bloody Sacrifice Offered to God on an Altar!

The Book of Leviticus treats of the Offices, Ministries, Rites, and Ceremonies of the Priests and Levites relative to the animal sacrifices they offered during the daylight hours.  They apparently never offered any sacrifices during the time it was dark, i.e. night-time.

The Old Testament Sacrifices had only the
"shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things".

They anticipated the Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross
NOT a Protestant Memorial Supper Meal - The NEW "mass"!

God the Holy Ghost teaches all of us, through the pen of Saint Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, that the Old Blood Covenant Testament, which included the Offices, Ministries, Rites, and Ceremonies of the Priests and Levites as found in the Old Testament Book of Leviticus, had only the "shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things" (Hebrews 10:1).

This is why Jesus Christ perfectly completed this Old Blood Covenant Testament AFTER the Last Jewish Seder Supper.

Jesus Christ perfectly instituted the New and Eternal Blood Covenant Testament of Himself - AFTER the Last Jewish Seder Supper - during the First Mass in which Christ not only perfectly instituted the Mass, but also the Sacraments of Holy Orders - especially the Priesthood and the Episcopacy - and the Holy Eucharist.

Unchangeable "Ontological Essence"

Everything has an unchangeable "ontological essence" and an unchangeable "metaphysical essence".

The  unchangeable  "ontological essence" of a thing is that which makes that thing to be what it is without which it can not be that specific thing.

ANY change automatically totally ignores and otherwise leaves alone the unchangeable "ontological essence" and the unchangeable "metaphysical essence" of a thing.  Why?

Because ANY change, no matter how minor it is, automatically creates a different unchangeable "ontological essence" with its own unique and likewise unchangeable "metaphysical essence" of the NEW thing.

The unchangeable  "metaphysical essence" of a thing is that which the  unchangeable  "ontological essence" of a thing does.

For example, what makes the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of a real diamond a real diamond and not a fake, a phony, or an imitation diamond?   In most probably every instance, it takes an experienced jeweler with a special magnifying glass to try to determine if the "diamond" that he is looking at is a real diamond or an imitation/fake diamond.

The same is true of the Catholic Liturgical Rites for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Seven Sacraments.

When Jesus Christ perfectly instituted the Mass, He perfectly instituted the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass along with its unchangeable  "metaphysical essence".

IF this the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass was actually changed, then it would no longer be the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass, but instead the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of something that is not the Mass - even though it might, just like a fake diamond, have the appearance of the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass.

Therefore, just as is the case with the unchangeable "ontological essence" of a real diamond which requires an experienced jeweler with a special magnifying glass to try to determine if the "diamond" that he is looking at is a real diamond or an imitation/fake diamond, so also the same thing is true with the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass as it was perfectly instituted by Jesus Christ.

But who are the "experts" who can determine whether or not a certain Mass really IS a "real" Mass, i.e. whether or not it really has the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass as Christ perfectly instituted it almost 2,000 years ago?

To the best of my own knowledge, I suspect - I really do not know for certain - that in the entire world there may be less than 3 or 4 Prelates in the Catholic Church who have sufficiently studied Scholastic Philosophy and Thomistic Theology, along with a study of the Catholic Liturgy of the Mass and the Seven Sacraments, along with the Deposit of the Catholic Faith per se, plus a working knowledge of the Canons and Decrees of the Councils, most especially the Infallible Roman Catholic Council of Trent, who have sufficient expertise to accurately make a judgement in this regard, in addition to myself!

It is very interesting how I have noticed that on EVERY "Traditional Catholic" web site I have personally visited, except for our Shrine of Saint Jude web site, nothing has ever been written on the subject of the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass as Christ perfectly instituted it almost 2,000 years ago!

Why?  Because, with all due respect to the honest zeal and integrity that I impute to all such other web sites, even of the two web sites of the Dominican and Franciscan mentioned above, neither one of them has had (unless changed/added recently) anything at all about the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass as Christ perfectly instituted it almost 2,000 years ago!

The reason seems to be obvious to me - they do not know WHAT the "ontological essence" of the Mass as Christ perfectly instituted it almost 2,000 years ago really is!

Another Pontifical Low Mass in Catacombs III
Offered by a Roman Catholic Archbishop

This was not a Memorial Supper Meal at a Table,
But an Unbloody, Mystical Sacrifice Offered to God on an Altar!

Some years ago, I wrote a book on just this subject.  Be assured I have no intentions of putting that book into this Letter which I am trying to keep as brief as possible!  It took much prayer for guidance to God the Holy Ghost Who assisted me in my extensive prayerful research and study over many years for me to acquire, only by the Grace of God, what is apparently this very rare knowledge for which I take no credit at all, but instead give all of the credit to God the Holy Ghost!

The so-called "Traditional Catholic" websites I have visited argue with each other about Church Laws, about Papal Infallibility, about this and that, etc., etc.!

But ALL of them totally miss the real relevant issue - WHAT the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass as Christ perfectly instituted it almost 2,000 years ago really is, along with its concomitant unchangeable  "metaphysical essence".

THIS IS WHAT MAKES THE MASS, THE MASS - WITHOUT WHICH IT IS NOT THE MASS!

My suggestion to those who operate such web-sites is for them to humbly and meekly pray to God the Holy Ghost for His Guidance and Inspirations just as I did so many, many years ago!

The Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass
is found in the pre-1944 Missale Romanum

This is not for a Memorial Supper Meal at a Table,
But an Unbloody, Mystical Sacrifice Offered to God on an Altar!

Now something else which seems to have also been totally ignored and/or overlooked is the fact that the Missale Romanum which Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V, Antonio-Michele Ghislieri [Friday, January 7, 1566 - Monday, May 1, 1572], issued on Tuesday, July 14, 1570 A.D., and which contains his famous document "Quo Primum Tempore" which forbids changes to this Missal, and which restored the Missal, not to its primitive format, but rather to the Missal used during the time of Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Gregory I [Friday, September 3, 590 - Monday, March 12, 604], that in addition to the Mass per se, has its very own unique unchangeable  "ontological essence" which is the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Canon of the Mass which is anticipated by the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Offertory of the Mass, including the Epiclesis which, in the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass is the Veni, Sanctificator, before the Lavabo - washing of the hands, all of which are found in the pre-1944 Missale Romanum.

Concerning the Canon of the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass, one finds that from the time of Saint Gregory I, the Great - certainly from the time when Saint Gregory became pope, the Roman Canon was already fixed in its present order:

“No Pope has added to or changed the Canon since Saint Gregory I” says Benedict XIV, Prospero Lambertini, [Wednesday, August 17, 1740 - Wednesday, May 3, 1758], (DE SS. MISSÆ SACR., 162).

Canon of the Mass in a
Pre-1944 Missale Romanum

This is not for a Memorial Supper Meal at a Table,
But an Unbloody, Mystical Sacrifice Offered to God on an Altar!

The authentic and accurate Missale Romanum of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Saint Pius V, issued on  Tuesday, July 14, 1570 A.D., contains the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Offertory of the Mass and also the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Canon of the Mass for the authentic Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Church.

So, by definition, when the anti-Catholic Freemason and the Modernist heretic, who had been fired from his teaching position for teaching the heresy of Modernism, 2nd Pope John 23rd, attempted to change this unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the ancient Canon of the Mass by inserting the name of Saint Joseph into the Canon in the November, 1962 edition of his anti-Missale Romanum - which was really a trial balloon to see what kind of a reaction this would have.

For this notorious act of Satanic rebellion, this act which automatically created a fake, false, phony, and counterfeit Missale Romanum insofar as his fake, false, phony, and counterfeit "missal" no longer had the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the ancient Canon of the Mass of the authentic Missale Romanum which the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V had issued in 1570 and which, in turn, according to some scholars, is identical to the so-called "Gregorian Canon" of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Gregory I.

Why?

By the very definition of an unchangeable  "ontological essence" of a thing, this diabolical act of 2nd Pope John 23, by which he issued his 1962 version of a fake, false, phony, and counterfeit Missale Romanum missal, never actually changed the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the authentic Canon of the Mass of the Missale Romanum which Pope Saint Pius V had issued in 1570 and which said Canon of the Mass is 100%, or totally, identical to the Gregorian Canon of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Gregory I of the late 5th Century!

Freemasonic and Modernist Heretic
2nd Pope John 23rd
With Pagan Shinto "priest"

What no one seems to realize is that when 2nd Pope John 23 issued his 1962 "Masonic-Modernist Heretic missal", which was a fake, false, phony, counterfeit, version of the Missale Romanum, which 1962 "Masonic-Modernist Heretic missal" included the name of Saint Joseph in the Canon, 2nd Pope John 23 actually created a NEW unchangeable  "ontological essence" of his adulterated, fake, false, phony, counterfeit, version of the authentic Canon of the Mass.

This 1962 "Masonic-Modernist Heretic missal" is an adulterated, fake, false, phony, counterfeit, version of the authentic Canon of the Mass as it is found in the authentic Missale Romanum because the NEW unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the 1962 adulterated, fake, false, phony, counterfeit, version of the authentic Canon of the Mass is NOT the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Canon of the Mass of the Missale Romanum which Pope Saint Pius V had issued in 1570.

2nd Pope John 23rd's anti-Missale Romanum
 

Reprint of Benziger's Original Edition of
The Fake, False, Phony, Counterfeit, Adulterated Missale Romanum
a.k.a. the 1962 "Masonic-Modernist Heretic missal" of the 2nd Pope John 23rd

The publisher of the above reprinted fake, false, incorrect, phony, counterfeit, adulterated anti-Missale Romanum, a.k.a. the 1962 "Masonic-Modernist Heretic missal" of the 2nd John 23rd, boasts that in this "missal":

#  St. Joseph's name is in the Canon of the Mass (Originally added in November, 1962).
#  The Ad Libitum Prefaces (Originally added in July, 1962 and which includes the restored Advent preface).
#  The Pro Aliquibus Locis Section specifically arranged for the dioceses of the United States per the 1962 liturgical calendar (Originally added in December, 1962).

Therefore, the 1962 "Masonic-Modernist Heretic missal" of the 2nd Pope John 23rd does not contain the required nature of the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the authentic Canon of the Mass of the original Missale Romanum which Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V had issued in 1570, and which said authentic Ancient Canon of the Mass is 100%, or totally, identical to the Gregorian Canon of Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Gregory I of the late 5th Century.

This means that 2nd Pope John 23rd's anti-Missale Romanum. which is a fake, false, phony, counterfeit, adulterated anti-Missale Romanum, brings with it the automatic excommunications of Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV and the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canons 6 and 9.

Therefore, ANYONE who would attempt to use 2nd Pope John 23rd's anti-Missale Romanum. which is a fake, false, phony, counterfeit, adulterated anti-Missale Romanum, automatically shares in the ravening anti-Catholic Infiltrator, 2nd Pope John 23rd's automatic excommunications - by incurring the censure of "anathema" infallibly decreed by Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Pius IV and the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canons 6 and 9.

Please remember that:

“ANATHEMA then appears as the more solemn form of pronouncing or declaring excommunication” (Rev. P. Chas. Augustine, O.S.B., D.D., A Commentary on the New Code of Canon Law, Volume 8, Canons 2255 & 2256, p. 170).

No one needs to be any kind of an "expert" to know and to understand this very blatant change which created the brand NEW, anti-Catholic missal of 1962, an anti-Missale Romanum, which is a fake, false, phony, counterfeit, adulterated Missale Romanum because it claims it is really the same thing as the authentic Missale Romanum which the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V had issued in 1570 which had been in use up to, and including, 1943.

I really feel sorry for Saint Joseph who has become the de facto "whipping boy" in this nightmare - when the one who should have been whipped is the Freemasonic Modernist Heretic, 2nd Pope John 23rd who had the unmitigated gall, as well as the dim-witted temerity, not to mention his ravening anti-Catholicism, to change the authentic Canon of the Mass as it has come down to us as part of our sacred patrimony as mentioned above.

Therefore, with the greatest humble and sincere and due respect to Saint Joseph, who ended up being the proverbial "pawn" of the anti-Catholic Freemason and Modernist Heretic Infiltrator, 2nd Pope John 23rd, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli [Tuesday, October 28, 1958 - Monday, June 3, 1963], the issue is not really about Saint Joseph, but about the anti-Catholic Freemason and Modernist Heretic Infiltrator, 2nd Pope John 23rd, trying to get his proverbial "foot in the door" of change!

Ironically, in the NEW Mass of Pope Montini, a.k.a. Paul 6, the name of Saint Joseph appears in ONLY ONE of the FOUR so-called "anaphora"!  So they really were not serious about including Saint Joseph and when things turned around for them and they could change whatever they wanted to change, they virtually IGNORED Saint Joseph!

Why?

Because, IF this anti-Catholic Infiltrator could succeed in doing this - which he did - then the anti-Catholic Infiltrator could shove the door wide open to all kinds of anti-Catholic changes which were intended to totally destroy the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Mass - a thing which he did - but only up to a point - it fell to Pope Montini, a.k.a. P-6, to finish the NEW Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist, Zionist anti-Catholic "missal" for the NEW "mass"!

I strongly suspect that "Jolly John", as the Zionist secular media called the anti-Catholic Freemason and Modernist Heretic Infiltrator, 2nd Pope John 23rd, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, had remembered one of the lessons taught by a 16th Century ex-Roman Catholic Priest, one Martin Luther, who, among other things, taught what apparently became a Protestant axiom:

16th Century ex-Roman Catholic Priest, Martin Luther, Taught:

Tolle Missam, Tolle Ecclesiam
Take away the Mass, and you destroy the Church!

As already mentioned above, the very most that the ravening anti-Catholic Infiltrator, 2nd Pope John 23, could do was to create his own fake, false, phony, counterfeit, Missale Romanum with its fake, false, phony, counterfeit  unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Canon of the Mass of his fake, false, phony, and counterfeit 1962 missal and forbid the use of the authentic  Missale Romanum which the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V had issued in 1570, but which Pius XII had already adulterated, beginning with his 1944 version of his Missale Romanum which had the less accurate Latin translation of the Psalter of Saint Jerome and for which act, as already explained in detail above, Pius XII automatically excommunicated himself!

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Pius IV,
with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent
Decreed Automatic Excommunication for Anyone Who would Change the Mass!

Of course, the ravening anti-Catholic Infiltrator, 2nd Pope John 23, also automatically excommunicated himself by inserting the name of Saint Joseph into the authentic, unchangeable Canon of the Mass because he incurred the automatic censures of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565] and the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, to wit:

“Canon 6.  If anyone says that the Canon of the [Ancient Roman Rite of] Mass contains errors and is therefore to be changed; let him be anathema” (The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici, [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565], with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 6; emphasis added).

“Canon 9.  If anyone says that the [Ancient Roman] Rite of the Roman Church...is to be condemned...let him be anathema.”  (The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici, [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565], with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 9.)

N.B.  The meaning of the text, and how the text of each of these two Canons is applied, and how these two Canons function automatically to excommunicate all those who disregard them and who otherwise automatically incur their respective censure, has already been explained above.

So the bottom line here is that no one and no thing can change the nature of the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of a thing without first doing the impossible, namely - changing both the unchangeable nature and the unchangeable definition of the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of a thing which, in virtue of its own unchangeable  "ontological essence" of a thing, in this case both the above said nature and said definition, would in fact change its unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the definition of an unchangeable  "ontological essence" into its own fake and phony "definition" which results in a contradiction of terms, i.e. a contradiction of an unchangeable nature and an unchangeable definition which precedent would make of nature an "anti-nature" (something impossible), and also would make the definition of a word irrelevant because every word would have no meaning since the definition of any/all words is based upon an absolute, unchangeable Truth which is per se and de facto absolute - unchangeable - because otherwise, the God of Truth - remembering that “God is Truth” (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica Part I, Question 16, Article 5; Summa Theologica Part II-II, Question 93, Article 2, Reply to Objection 2. Summa Contra Gentiles Book I, Chapter 60) - could change.

But, because there can be no change with God, Who is both immutable - unchangeable ("God is immutable" [Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Theologica, Part I, Question 9, Article 1] because, with God "there is no change nor shadow of alteration" [James 1:17] since God Himself says:  "I am the Lord and I change not" [Malachias 2:6]), this means that part of the nature of God is that God's unchangeable ontological essence is both immutable (unchangeable) - and because God is also unchangeable, absolute Truth, otherwise God could be deceived which is something evil and God is all-Holy (Holiness itself) and all-Good (Goodness itself) which should be self-evident in virtue of the nature of the  immutable ontological essence of God, God is immutable, absolute Truth which means that Truth, which derives its nature from the nature of the immutable God of Truth, by its nature is also immutable and absolute which, in a nutshell, explains why it is that the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of a thing contains an immutable, absolute Truth concerning its own nature and ontological essence and hence, since nothing can change its nature and its ontological essence, any attempt to do so is not only an exercise in futility, but also creates an immutable "anti-ontological essence" which is a counterfeit - the antithesis - of the original unchangeable  "ontological essence" which it was impossible to replace and/or to change.

These automatic censures of automatic excommunication by anathema, issued under the infallible decrees of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Pius IV and the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, really get a work-out when one comes to the Novus Ordo Missæ, or NEW mass, a.k.a. Novus Ordo Rite, of Paul 6 which he jammed packed with changes!

It should be obvious to everyone, just based on the very basic understanding of what the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass as Christ perfectly instituted it almost 2,000 years ago really is, that the Novus Ordo Missæ, or NEW mass, a.k.a. Novus Ordo Rite, of Paul 6 DOES NOT CONTAIN the unchangeable  "ontological essence" of the Mass.  In other words, this "mass" of Paul 6, Giovanni Battista Montini [Friday, June 21, 1963 - Sunday, August 6, 1978], is NOT a "mass" - it is a "fake mass", just like a fake diamond.

Even though it might look and sound somewhat similar to a "mass" to some people, it is NOT a "mass" - at least it is not the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass which Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest, perfectly instituted!

Pope Paul 6 Photographed with the 6 Protestants who helped to Make UP the NEW "mass"!

This photo was taken on Friday, April 10, 1970
 and was printed in the Pope’s Official Newspaper - L’Osservatore Romano

This official photo shows Pope Paul 6, Giovanni Battista Montini [Friday, June 21, 1963 - Sunday, August 6, 1978] standing with the 6 Protestant members of the CONCILIUM who ACTIVELY helped to fabricate the NOR - NOVUS ORDO RITE OF MASS (the NEW mass - the Novus Ordo Missæ).

The 6 Protestants are, from left to right:

Dr. George
Canon Jasper
Dr. Shephard
Dr. Konneth
Dr. Smith
Brother Max Thurian

Who represented the following Protestant organizations:
The World Council of Churches
The Church of England
The Lutheran Church
The Protestant Community of Taize.

Since WHEN have Protestants believed that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is a SACRIFICE?!  NEVER!

Pope Commends Work of "Consilium"

Photo Taken on Friday, April 10, 1970 A.D. in the Vatican

The source of this photograph is from the Pope's official newspaper, the L'OSSERVATORE ROMANO, Weekly Edition in English, Third Year, N. 17 (108) - Thursday, APRIL 23, 1970, A.D. page # 2.

This photo of Friday, April 10, 1970 A.D. fully shows four of the six Protestants who are, from left to right:

1) Dr. George (shown shaking hands with Pope Paul 6);
2) Canon Jasper;
3) Dr. Shephard;
4) Dr. Konneth (the Pope's head is blocking most of Dr. Konneth although the top of his head is slightly visible);
5) Dr. Smith

The Novus Ordo Missæ, was made up in part by the very active SIX PROTESTANT members of the Synod Vatican 2 Concilium.

Some Readers may object by saying that these six "non-Catholic Observers", as the photo caption reads, were only that, namely "observers"?!

On the contrary, here are a few excerpts from a speech by Pope Paul 6 on Friday, April 10, 1970 A.D. given in his Audience to the members of the Synod Vatican 2 Concilium with comments in blue and (in parenthesis) and further indented:

The Pope's own Newspaper declared: Pope commends work of "Consilium" and went on to print the Speech of the Pope who said in part:

"Venerable Brothers

("Among the many members of the Hierarchy present at the audience were Cardinals: Lercaro, Gracias. Giobbe, Confalonieri, Rugambwa, Felici, Gray, Enrique y Tarancon, and Willebrands.")

and dear sons,

(the context clearly indicates this includes the Six Protestant "Observers" as proven from the first above photo which shows: 1. Dr. George; 2. Canon Jasper; 3. Dr. Shephard; 4. Dr. Konneth; 5. Dr. Smith; and, 6. Brother Max Thurian. It should be noted that to have ignored them would have been seen as a breach of protocol and a rude snub and insult.

On the contrary, that they were present and included in this Speech is proven by the above two photos in which they were not excluded, but included!  It is only logical that if they were deliberately included at the Audience and included in the photo that they were likewise deliberately included in this Speech!

For those of you who want something more precise, you are left to fault the usual, and seemingly deliberate, ambiguous and equivocal style of Paul 6 in the classical use of ambiguity and equivocity by Modernists which itself casts the shadow of the heresy of Modernism over Paul 6 and but tends to prove the case even further-especially when one compares this ambiguity and equivocity with the ambiguity and equivocity he has used when writing on matters of Faith where he tends to be even more ambiguous and equivocal!)

We are glad to give you

(this you includes the Six Protestants)

a heartfelt greeting, and to speak to you

(this you includes the Six Protestants)

... the work accomplished by you

(this you includes the Six Protestants)

in these years, We are impelled to offer you

(this you includes the Six Protestants)

a full measure of thanks for so great and so many labours. For you

(this you includes the Six Protestants)

were prompt and diligent, as well as expert,

(this expert includes the Six Protestants)

in dealing with a matter that was complicated and very difficult--and without expecting any reward, but seeking only to be of service to the Church

(exactly WHICH Church??? -certainly not the Roman Catholic Church because she forbids changes to the Missal per the infallible decree of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V under the penalty of automatic excommunication! and she forbids changes to the Mass per the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Pius IV with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent in their Canons 6 and 9 of Session 22 on the Mass under penalty of automatic excommunication!.  This "Church" is the Satanic VATICAN 2 church!)

This work of yours

(this you includes the Six Protestants)

was indeed arduous; documents had to be drawn up by which that Constitution of the Council [Vatican 2] would be gradually
"Why does the Mass keep changing?"

John Cardinal Heenan

(notice his admission of what Cardinal Heenan had said about this gradual implementation!

"Why does the Mass keep changing? Here is the answer... It would have been foolhardy to introduce all the changes at once. It was obviously wise to change gradually and gently. If all the changes had been introduced together, you would have been shocked." [John Cardinal Heenan, Lenten Pastoral Letter, Sunday, October 12, 1969 A.D.])

put into effect...

(Besides being "shocked", Roman Catholics would have REJECTED the Novus Ordo Missæ because the changes would have been more obvious! In addition, the Satanic VATICAN 2 church!) would never have seen the light of day!)

In the light of these difficulties, it is remarkable that so many things have already been achieved and completed

(The work of the 16th Century Protestants was virtually culminated and completed with the Novus Ordo Missæ, and the other changes effected in part by these Six Protestants and the anti-Catholic Infiltrators at Synod Vatican 2, which changes had been condemned a priori by the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV and the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, especially Session 22!)

To mention only the main points, let Us note

(Modernist Paul 6 enumerates some of these other changes:)

[1] the many Instructions and other documents edited, and

[2] books of a subsidiary nature written by some of your

(does this your include one or more of the Six Protestants?)

members;

[3] the new [Novus] Ordo Missæ;

(For this act Pope Paul 6, as well as many members of the Hierarchy, including Cardinals: Lercaro, Gracias. Giobbe, Confalonieri, Rugambwa, Felici, Gray, Enrique y Tarancon, and Willebrands, were all automatically excommunicated by the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV and by the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, especially Canons 6 and 9, on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  Plus, they were also all automatically excommunicated for changing the Missal in virtue of the Papal Bulla of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V: Quo Primum Tempore!)

[4] the variations introduced into the Liturgy of Holy Week;

(For this act Pope Paul 6, as well as many members of the Hierarchy, including Cardinals: Lercaro, Gracias. Giobbe, Confalonieri, Rugambwa, Felici, Gray, Enrique y Tarancon, and Willebrands, were all automatically excommunicated by the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV and by the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, especially Canons 6 and 9, on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  Plus, they were also all automatically excommunicated for changing the Missal in virtue of the Papal Bulla of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V: Quo Primum Tempore!)

[5] the Rites of Baptism for Infants,

[6] of Diaconate,

[7] Priesthood,

[8] Episcopate, and

[9] Matrimony;

[10] the order of readings for Mass;

[11] Rites of Exequies, and

[12[ for Religious Profession;

[13] the Roman Calendar.

[14] Soon also, after much hard work, the Roman Missal will be published

(For this act Pope Paul 6, as well as many members of the Hierarchy, including Cardinals: Lercaro, Gracias. Giobbe, Confalonieri, Rugambwa, Felici, Gray, Enrique y Tarancon, and Willebrands, were all automatically excommunicated by the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV and by the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, especially Canons 6 and 9, on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  Plus, they were also all automatically excommunicated for changing the Missal in virtue of the Papal Bulla of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V: Quo Primum Tempore!)

to be followed by (among other things)

[15] the Roman Breviary,

[16] the Rites for Confirmation and

[17] for the Baptism of adults,

[18] the revised Roman Martyrology,

[19] the second "Liber Pontificalis", and

[20] the Roman book of Ceremonies (Cæremoniale).

All this work

(they were certainly busy bees to do all of these 20 things!)

of yours

(this yours includes the Six Protestants)

incorporates the principles approved by the Council's [Vatican 2's] Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. For indeed it was from this, which we may call the "Magna Charta" of liturgical renewal...

(For this Magna Charta of Modernism, Pope Paul 6, as well as many members of the Hierarchy, including Cardinals: Lercaro, Gracias. Giobbe, Confalonieri, Rugambwa, Felici, Gray, Enrique y Tarancon, and Willebrands, were all automatically excommunicated by the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV and by the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, especially Canons 6 and 9, on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  Plus, they were also all automatically excommunicated for changing the Missal in virtue of the Papal Bulla of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius V: Quo Primum Tempore!)

(In addition, all of these Modernist heretics came under the automatic excommunication of the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint  Pius X against everyone who is a Modernist heretic!)

You have made a special effort to see that ... "lex orandi" might correspond more aptly with the "lex credendi"...

(Here Pope Paul 6 publicly admits that he is one of the founders of the Satanic Vatican 2 church! In the official "mass" liturgy of the Satanic Vatican 2 church, by official definition, the Catholic teaching of the Mass as a mystical renewal of the bloody sacrifice of the Cross on Calvary is replaced by the Protestant memorial supper meal - which Protestant heresy was condemned by the Roman Catholic Church, both in the 11th Century at three Synods and in the 16th Century by the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent!)

(Because the law of praying is the law of believing - the Lex Orandi and the Lex Credendi - in the Novus Ordo Missæ - in all languages, including Latin - omits Mysterium Fidei - Mystery of Faith - which is the transubstantiation - as even Pope Paul 6 has admitted , then not only is the Form for the Consecration of the Most Precious Blood invalidated by this fact, but so also is this liturgical rite - the Novus Ordo Missæ - invalidated! In reality, the Satanic Vatican 2 church itself, for these and other reasons, e.g., that it is a man-made and man-centered "church", is invalid as well!)

Thus it happily comes about that...

Since this Consilium of yours

(This yours includes the Six Protestants - but it is somewhat of a misleading phrase since here it seems to indicate that Pope Paul 6 had no active role in it himself?)

(On the contrary, according to John Cardinal Heenan, this is not true since the Cardinal claims that the Novus Ordo Missæ was written under the Holy Father's  [i.e., Pope Paul 6's]  PERSONAL supervision [Cardinal Heenan, Forward to the English translation of the Novus Ordo Missæ, November, 1969 A.D.])

(In addition to all of this, did YOU know that while Cardinal Montini [the future Pope Paul 6] was the Archbishop of Milan, he proposed the Novus Ordo Rite  with all of its radical changes in his Lenten Pastoral Letter of 1958 A.D.?!! This was two years after his 1956 A.D.  meeting of "a delegation of four Anglican priests and a layman [These men were PROTESTANTS who obviously came not to be converted to the ROMAN Catholic Church!] who stayed with him some ten days... the meetings were clandestine in the extreme..." [Bernard C. Pawley, Archdeacon of Canterbury, and Margaret Pawley, Rome and Canterbury Through Four Centuries: A Study of the Relations Between the Church of Rome and the Anglican Churches 1530-1981, London & Oxford, 1974, ISBN: 9780264661230)].)

(This also contradicts the position of those who claim that there was NO Protestant influence in any way in that man-made fabrication - the 16th Century updated Protestant Memorial Supper Meal, a.k.a. the Novus Ordo Missæ!!!)

(Based upon the above, it would seem reasonable to take the position that the future Pope Paul 6 spent two years working on the Novus Ordo Missæ WITH these Protestant Anglicans, between his highly SECRET meeting with the 5 Anglicans in 1956 A.D. and his presentation of the Novus Ordo Missæ with all of its radical changes in his Lenten Pastoral Letter of 1958 A.D.?!)

(There is the further strong possibility that one or more of the Six Protestants of the Concilium, with whom he posed for photos on Friday, April 10, 1970 A.D., were part of this 1956 A.D. "delegation of four Anglican priests and a layman who stayed with him some ten days... the meetings were clandestine in the extreme.. "!!!)

(Finally, for those who would take the position that there is a contradiction concerning that on the one hand Cardinal Montini [the future Pope Paul 6] "spent two years working on the Novus Ordo Missæ, between his highly SECRET meeting with the 5 Anglicans in 1956 A.D. and his presentation of the Novus Ordo Missæ with all of its radical changes in his Lenten Pastoral Letter of 1958 A.D.!" and, on the other hand, that the Concilium made up the Novus Ordo Missæ, have forgotten that, as also mentioned above, Cardinal Heenan "claims that the Novus Ordo Missæ was written under the Holy Father's [i.e., Pope Paul 6's] PERSONAL supervision [John Cardinal Heenan, Forward to the English translation of the Novus Ordo Missæ, November, 1969 A.D.]!")

(How do you reconcile these apparent contradictions? First of all, thank God, I was NOT there and thus can not give any personal observations or account of such highly secret, apparently anti-Catholic, activities?!!!   Thus, forced by circumstances to logically surmise that most probably what happened is that the 5 Anglicans who attended the highly secret meeting with Cardinal Montini in 1956 A.D. read his presentation of the Novus Ordo Missæ with all of its radical changes in his Lenten Pastoral Letter of 1958 A.D. and most probably made some suggestions for some changes which would make the Novus Ordo Missæ more acceptable to Anglicans. But remember also that the Concilium also had on it other Protestants, including one or more representatives of other Protestant organizations, namely: The World Council of Churches, the Lutheran Church, and the Protestant Community of Taize.)

(It seems obvious that the members of these different Protestant organizations would have needed to have worked out their own differences among themselves so that the 1958 A.D. version of the Novus Ordo Missæ would have been used as the starting point, with input from everyone else. However, the basic contents and structure were obviously deemed so essential by Pope Paul 6 that he found it necessary to make certain that the members of the Concilium did not stray too far away from his 1958 A.D. version of the Novus Ordo Missæ, which would logically explain why Cardinal Heenan-who, to the best of my knowledge was never contradicted either by the Vatican or personally by Pope Paul 6 - claims that the Novus Ordo Missæ was written under the Holy Father's [i.e., Pope Paul 6's] PERSONAL supervision [Cardinal Heenan, Forward to the English translation of the Novus Ordo Missæ, November, 1969 A.D..])

comes to its end, after its excellent activity...

(This heretical revolution, of the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist heretic Infiltrators, which propounded the Magna Charta of anti-Catholicism, was very successful in that it was dripping, and otherwise soaked, with so many anti-Catholic things - faith, belief, Mass, Sacraments, etc.!)

In this wish, and with a specially warm love, we impart to each and all of you the Apostolic Blessing."

(From: L'OSSERVATORE ROMANO, Weekly Edition in English, Third Year N. 17 [108], Thursday, APRIL 23, 1970, pages # 1 and 2.)

It should be clear from the above, that the Satanic Vatican 2 church can not consider itself, nor call itself, the "Catholic" Church, nor can any of its members call themselves "Catholic" - be they Clergy, Religious or Laity!

Why?

Because of Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi they are all PROTESTANTS, whether they know it or not!!!  Thus, various teachings, doctrines, dogmas, and most especially the liturgy of the Mass and Seven Sacraments which the Satanic Vatican 2 church teaches and/or uses are NOT CATHOLIC!

Because of Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, this ex-Roman Catholic church, which has fallen into heresy, apostasy and schism from the Roman Catholic Church, can only be called what it believes and prays, i.e., those NON-CATHOLIC beliefs and prayers of the Satanic Vatican 2 church.

Please note: the sequence of the names of the Cardinals given in the next paragraph seems to match the sequence of the Cardinals posing in this photograph.

Among the many members of the Hierarchy present at the audience were Cardinals: Lercaro, Gracias. Giobbe, Confalonieri, Rugambwa, Felici, Gray, Enrique y Tarancon, and Willebrands (Article: COMMISSION HOLDS FINAL MEETING, Pope commends work of "Consilium", L'OSSERVATORE ROMANO, Weekly Edition in English, Third Year, N. 17 (108) - Thursday, APRIL 23, 1970 A.D., page # 1).

Paul 6, Giovanni Battista Montini [Friday, June 21, 1963 - Sunday, August 6, 1978] finally could see the rotten fruit for which he had worked so hard for so long, at least back to the days when he was Giovanni Battista Montini. the Archbishop of Milan:

While Montini was Archbishop of Milan, he proposed the Novus Ordo Rite with all of its radical changes in his Lenten Pastoral of 1958.

This was two years after his 1956 meeting of:

 “a delegation of four Anglican priests and a layman who stayed with him some ten days... the meetings were clandestine in the extreme...” (Bernard C. Pawley [Archdeacon of Canterbury], and Margaret Pawley, Rome and Canterbury Through Four Centuries: A Study of the Relations Between the Church of Rome and the Anglican Churches 1530-1981, London & Oxford, 1974, ISBN: 9780264661230).

But several years before the above photograph was taken on Friday, April 10, 1970:

"In October 1967, the Episcopal Synod called in Rome was requested to pass a judgment on the experimental celebration of a so-called 'normative Mass,' devised by the Consilium [with its very active 6 Protestant member/experts] for implementing the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy. This Mass aroused the most serious misgivings. The voting showed considerable opposition (43 non placet), very many substantial reservations (62 juxta modum), and 4 abstentions out of 187 voters. The international press spoke of a 'refusal' of the proposed 'normative Mass' on the part of the Synod. Progressively- inclined papers made no mention of this."

"In the Novus Ordo Missæ lately promulgated by the Apostolic Constitution Missale Romanum [April 6, 1969], we once again find this 'normative Mass', identical in substance, nor does it appear that in the intervening period the Episcopal Conferences, at least as such, were ever asked to give their views about it" (Roman Theologians, The Critical Study of the New Order of Mass, June 5, 1969, # 1-2).

Why?

Since "the voting [in October 1967] showed considerable opposition (43 non placet), and very many substantial reservations (62 juxta modum)," most probably due in part to the principle of Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, it was obviously foolhardy to let the Bishops vote again!

It seems that P-6 understood the problem the Bishops were having. But instead of addressing the concerns of the Bishops, the Pope merely bypassed them! This is why it is so ironic that even Pope Montini admitted this principle of Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi in his Speech on Friday, April 10, 1970 A.D. to the members of the Concilium!

On this point Pope Montini said:

"...theology should have more influence on the liturgical texts, so that therefore the 'lex orandi' might correspond more aptly with the 'lex credendi'..." (Article: COMMISSION HOLDS FINAL MEETING, Pope commends work of "Consilium", L'OSSERVATORE ROMANO, Weekly Edition in English, Third Year, N. 17 (108) - Thursday, APRIL 23, 1970 A.D., page # 2).

Therefore, Pope Paul 6, regarding whom it was said that the Novus Ordo Rite of Mass was written under the Holy Father's [Paul 6's] PERSONAL SUPERVISION (Cardinal Heenan, FORWARD to the English translation of the Novus Ordo in November, 1969 A.D.), knew all about Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi.

Pope P-6 also knew full well that SIX Protestants were actively working on the Concilium! Therefore, when he had his photograph - which is shown above - taken with these SIX Protestants, he was NOT surprised to suddenly learn that there were Protestant who had been actively working on the Concilium, busily making up the newly updated, 16th Century modernized, synthesized Protestant memorial supper meal, a.k.a. "mass.

In his above-quoted Speech of Friday, April 10, 1970 A.D., did Pope Montini, as the official guardian of the Roman Catholic Faith condemn the members of this Concilium for putting together a 16th Century updated, modernized, synthesized Protestant liturgy?  NO, and the above cited quote in part explains why!
 

Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani

Antonio Cardinal Bacci

On the contrary, Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani and Antonio Cardinal Bacci had to do the Pope's job for him because the Pope certainly did NOT do his job! Consider their Letter to him in which these two Roman Catholic Cardinals stated that:

"The Novus Ordo represents, both as a whole and in its details, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent. The 'Canons' of the Rite definitively fixed at that time provided an insurmountable barrier to any heresy directed against the Integrity of the Mystery" (Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani and Antonio Cardinal Bacci, Letter to Pope Paul 6, Thursday, September 25, 1969 A.D.; emphasis added.)

In his Speech of  Friday, April 10, 1970 A.D., did Pope P-6 finally admit that the Novus Ordo represents, both as a whole and in its details, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent. The "canons" of the rite definitively fixed at that time provided an insurmountable barrier to any heresy directed against the integrity of the Mystery?

NO! Not only did Pope P-6 stubbornly IGNORE the Letter and its contents, plus its attached Study, which the two Cardinals had sent to him over six months before then, he REFUSED to admit the truth of the Catholic Church that the Novus Ordo represents, both as a whole and in its details, a striking departure from the CATHOLIC theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent. The "canons" of the rite definitively fixed at that time provided an insurmountable barrier to any heresy directed against the integrity of the Mystery.

Only God Himself Knows Exactly What is Necessary to Sanctify Mankind

Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P.
[b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy]

The Angelic Doctor taught that the Prelates of the Roman Catholic Church can not institute anything contrary to what Christ and His Apostles did.

Furthermore, only God Himself knows exactly what is necessary to sanctify mankind and has established this by His Divine Institution:

"The Apostles and their successors are God’s vicars in governing the Church which is built on faith and the sacraments of faith.  Wherefore, just as they may not institute another Church, so neither may they deliver another faith, nor institute other sacraments...”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D., in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 64, Article 2, Reply to Objection 3; emphasis added).

“Since, therefore, the sanctification of man is in the power of God Who sanctifies, it is not for man to decide what things should be used for his sanctification, but this should be determined by Divine institution” (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Theologica, Part III, Question 60, Article 5, Body; emphasis added).

Most of the Prayers and Rubrics of the Catholic Traditional Mass
Are No Longer Found In the NOR - Novus Ordo Rite - NEW mass

Absolution Before Communion

Most Catholics are well aware that many of the prayers and rubrics of the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Traditional Mass of the Catholic Church were thrown out and not used by the NEW mass.  The biggest of these includes the invalid and illegal and unlawful changes to the very words of the Consecration of the Most Precious Blood.  The Form has been destroyed!

But there are also numerous "minor" changes that most Catholics have forgotten.  But one example is the Absolution before Communion is administered to the Laity.

This Absolution was already eliminated by the 2nd Pope, John 23, in his in anti-Catholic, 1962 version of the Novus Ordo Rite, the NEW mass!  Surprisingly to some Catholics, the Rite for the Administration of the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, commonly called "Holy Communion, is not actually in the Missale Romanum at all!

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is actually temporarily, albeit deliberately, interrupted after the Mass Celebrant receives the Most Precious Blood in the Chalice.

It is during this temporary, albeit deliberate, interruption of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, that the Mass Celebrant Administers the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist Extra Missam - Outside of Mass - as a courtesy to the Altar Ministers (other than the Mass Celebrant who are on the Sanctuary side of the Communion Rail), and everyone else in the Congregation who are physically present and assisting at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and who freely choose to come forward and to kneel down at the Communion Rail (except those with a physical disability who are not able to kneel), so that they can receive Holy Communion during this temporary, albeit deliberate, interruption of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

The Liturgical Rite for the Administration of the Sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist during this temporary, albeit deliberate, interruption of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, begins with the so-called "Second Confiteor" which is recited by the Altar Servers.  This was thrown out in the 1st Missal of 2nd Pope, John 23rd, effective on January 1, 1961.

Not content with this, in his 2nd Missal, issued in 1962, the Modernist Heretic Pope, 2nd John 23rd, threw out more things in his anti-Catholic rampage!  This included the General Absolution which had immediately followed the so-called "Second Confiteor" that was recited by the Altar Servers.

Theologically, this General Absolution by the Mass Celebrant, whether a Priest or a Prelate (a Prelate is a Bishop of whatever rank of Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction - Bishop, Archbishop, Metropolitan Archbishop, Primate, Patriarch), is a clear liturgical act in which the Prelate or Priest exercises his Sacerdotal, i.e. Priestly, Power to Absolve Catholics from their actual sins (Original Sin, of course, is only removed by the Sacrament of Baptism).  But, because the exercise of this Priestly Power to absolve penitents from their actual sins is contrary to the Protestant heresy that "everyone is a 'priest'", the anti-Catholics, including the six Protestants, who helped to make up the NEW Protestant memorial supper meal, had to get rid of it!

But these heretics did not just get rid of the "second Confiteor", and the General Absolution, which really means they almost totally mutilated the Liturgical Rite for the Administration of the Sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist Extra Missam - Outside of Mass - they also threw out the Last Blessing, a.k.a. the Final Blessing, and, of course, what the heretics really hate - the Last Gospel which consists of the first fourteen verses of chapter one of the Holy Gospel of Saint John which very clearly teaches the Divinity and Incarnation of God the Son - the Eternal Word of God - Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity.

It is very interesting that, to the best of my knowledge, none of the Modernist heretical "liturgy committees"  found in various parishes, have ever once restored these, or any of the other, very Catholic prayers and actions that used to be part of the Mass in their former Catholic Churches before Synod Vatican 2, in their man-made NEW "mass"?!

On the contrary, the Modernist heretical and apostate "liturgy committees",  by whatsoever name they call themselves in the Satanic Vatican 2 church, in which finite human beings try to determine what THEY choose to have in their local parish "liturgy", are an insult to Almighty God because the finite human beings in such groups, by whatever group name, think that somehow, whether through pride or through ignorance, they know better than God Himself what is required and necessary for the sanctification of man as they set about to decide what things should be used for man's sanctification!

NOR Noise
Novus Ordo Rite Racket!

“Nothing so becomes a Church as SILENCE and good order. NOISE belongs to theatres, and baths, and public processions, and market-places: but where doctrines, and such doctrines, are the subject of teaching, there should be stillness, and quiet, and calm reflection, and a haven of much repose"  (Patriarch Saint John Chrysostom [b. Antioch, c. 347 A.D. - d. at Commana in Pontus on Friday, September 14, 407 A.D.], Patriarch of Constantinople [Thursday, February 26, 398 A.D. - Thursday, June 24, 404 A.D.], exiled from his See the 2nd time on Thursday, June 24, 404 A.D., Father and Doctor of the Catholic Church, HOMILY XXX on ACTS XIII. 42; emphasis added).

How do other Protestants view the Novus Ordo Rite of Mass?  Here is a representative example:

“...nothing in the renewed [i.e. the New Order] Mass need really trouble the Evangelical Protestant.”  (M.G. Siegvalt, Protestant Professor of Dogmatic Theology, Strasbourg.)

Robert Cardinal Bellarmine, S.J.

“When we enter ornate and clean Basilicas, adorned with Crosses, Sacred Images, Altars and burning lamps, we most easily conceive devotion.  But on the other hand, when we enter the temples of the heretics, where there is nothing except A CHAIR for preaching AND A TABLE FOR MAKING A MEAL, We feel ourselves to be entering a profane hall and not the House of God” (Robert Cardinal Bellarmine, S.J. [b. Montepulciano, Italy, on Sunday, October 4, 1542 A.D. - d. Rome, Italy, on Friday, September 17, 1621 A.D.], Doctor of the Church, OCTAVA CONTROVERSIA GENERALIS, Liber II. Controversia Quinta, Caput XXXI; emphasis added).
 
 

A CHAIR for preaching
A TABLE FOR MAKING A MEAL

The Novus Ordo Missæ, or NEW Mass, a.k.a. NOR - Novus Ordo Rite, of Paul 6 is, historically, nothing more that a hyper-glorified, modernized, synthesized, updated 16th Century Protestant memorial supper meal, written in part by 20th Century Protestants - which is, at best, a Jewish Seder Supper!

Blood Sacrifices in the Old Testament and in the New and Eternal Testament

Jewish Daily Bloody Animal Sacrifices in front of their Temple in Jerusalem

Yet the above data reminds everyone that even the Jews had daily bloody animal sacrifices in front of their temple in Jerusalem which were not, in any manner, a Jewish Seder Supper - a fact which both 16th Century and 20th Century born-again Protestants and anti-Catholic Infiltrators either forgot or deliberately ignored?!

The bloody animal sacrifices in front of the Temple in Jerusalem
Offered according to the Rite of the Old Testament Covenant
Anticipated the Bloody Death of Jesus Christ on the Cross
in the New and Eternal Testament Covenant.
 

The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross
Is Identical, except in Manner, to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

N.B.  This is a Sacrifice, not a Protestant Memorial Supper Meal!

Infallible Teachings of an Infallible Roman Catholic Pope and Dogmatic Council on the Mass

“For the Victim is one and the same, the same now offering by the ministry of Priests, Who then offered Himself on the cross, the manner alone of offering being different”  (The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici, [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565], with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass,, Chapter 2.)

N.B.  Where you read that "the manner alone of offering being different”, this "difference" is that on the Cross at Calvary, it was a bloody Sacrifice of the Divine Victim - Jesus Christ.  But in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is an unbloody mystical Sacrifice of the Divine Victim - Jesus Christ.

Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent

"For, [after] having celebrated the ancient Passover, which the multitude of the children of Israel immolated in memory of their going out of Egypt, He instituted the new Passover, (to wit) Himself to be immolated, under visible signs, by the Church through (the ministry of) priests, in memory of His own passage from this world unto the Father, when by the effusion of His own blood He redeemed us, and delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into his kingdom. And this is indeed that clean oblation, which cannot be defiled by any unworthiness, or malice of those that offer (it); which the Lord foretold by Malachias* was to be offered in every place, clean to his name, which was to be great amongst the Gentiles; and which the apostle Paul, writing to the Corinthians, has not obscurely indicated, when he says, that they who are defiled by the participation of the table of devils, cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord; by the table, meaning in both places the altar. This, in fine, is that oblation which was prefigured by various types of sacrifices, during the period of nature, and of the law; in as much as it comprises all the good things signified by those sacrifices, as being the consummation and perfection of them all"  (The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici, [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565], with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Chapter 1; emphasis added).

* Malachias:  "For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, My Name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is Sacrifice, and there is offered to My Name a Clean Oblation; for My Name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts"  (Malachias 1:11).

"And forasmuch as, in this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the mass, that same Christ is contained and immolated in an unbloody manner, who once offered Himself in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross; the holy Synod teaches, that this sacrifice is truly propitiatory and that by means thereof this is effected, that we obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid, if we draw nigh unto God, contrite and penitent, with a sincere heart and upright faith, with fear and reverence. For the Lord, appeased by the oblation thereof, and granting the grace and gift of penitence, forgives even heinous crimes and sins"  (The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici, [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565], with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Chapter 2).

The Victim is one and the same,
the same now offering by the ministry of Priests.

N.B.  This is a Sacrifice, not a Protestant Memorial Supper Meal!

"For the Victim is one and the same, the same now offering by the ministry of Priests, Who then offered Himself on the cross, the manner alone of offering being different. The fruits indeed of which oblation, of that bloody one to wit, are received most plentifully through this unbloody one; so far is this (latter) from derogating in any way from that (former oblation). Wherefore, not only for the sins, punishments, satisfactions, and other necessities of the faithful who are living, but also for those who are departed in Christ, and who are not as yet fully purified, is it rightly offered, agreeable to a Tradition of the Apostles"  (The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici, [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565], with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Chapter 2; emphasis added).
 

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Offered According to the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Church

N.B.  This is a Sacrifice, not a Protestant Memorial Supper Meal!

“Canon 6.  If anyone says that the Canon [of the Ancient Roman Rite] of the Mass contains errors and is therefore to be abrogated, let him be anathema”  (The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici, [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565], with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 6).  (N. B.  The word “anathema” is a juridical term which means INSTANT and AUTOMATIC excommunication latæ sententiæ.)

“Canon 9.  If anyone says that the [Ancient Roman] Rite of the Roman Church...is to be condemned...let him be anathema”  (The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici, [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565], with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Canon 9).

On the contrary:

“...the holy Canon [of the Ancient Roman Rite]...is so free from error that it contains nothing that does not in the highest degree savor of a certain holiness and piety and raise up to God the minds of those who offer [it]....”  (The Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Pius IV, Giovan Angelo De Medici, [Friday, December 25, 1559 - Thursday, December 9, 1565], with the Infallible Dogmatic Roman Catholic Council of Trent, Session 22, Monday, September 17, 1562, On the Sacrifice of the Mass, Chapter 4; emphasis added).

The CONVENTION of Three Thousand Good-for-Nothings
Communists, Freemasons, and Modernist Heretics
Their CONVENTION is called Synod Vatican 2.

Synod Vatican 2 was characterized as:

“A sinister farce acted out by three thousand good-for-nothings, some of whom, despite the gold [pectoral] crosses on their chests, don’t even believe in the Trinity or the Virgin” (Bishop Antonio Romeo of the Sacred Congregation of Rites in Bob Considine’s column ON THE LINE in the NEW YORK JOURNAL AMERICAN of Friday, November 27, 1964' emphasis added).

The NEW mass was Prophecized by Jesus Christ in 1902!!!

Private Revelation

Father Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P.

Lest anyone be overanxious, or otherwise be wont to quickly dismiss out of hand, Private Revelation, it would be most wise, most prudent, and most profitable to most seriously and most prayerfully consider the following:

“In regard to the visits of the Lord, we must also remember that they often differ appreciably.  There are visits of consolation, like the apparitions of Lourdes; But if people do not profit by them, the Lord comes to chastise; and if they do not profit by this Divine correction, He may come to condemn. [Footnote # 4:  Cf. Saint Thomas In Isaiam, Chap. 24: ‘The visitation of the Lord is multiple; of consolation...of correction...and at times of condemnation.’]” (Reverend Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. [b. Auch, France 1877 A.D. - d. Rome, Italy, 1964 A.D.], who taught dogmatic and Spiritual theology for 53 years at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Angelicum, in Rome, THE THREE AGES OF THE INTERIOR LIFE, Prelude of Eternal Life, Translated by Sister M. Timothea Doyle, O.P., Volume Two, Chapter XXXIX, The effects of the Passive Purification of the Spirit in Relation Especially to the Three Theological Virtues, p. 402; emphasis added).

Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P.
[b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D. in Fossa Nuova, Italy]

“As regards the guidance of human acts, the prophetic revelation varied not according to the course of time, but according as circumstances required, because as it is written (Proverbs 29:18), ‘When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad.’  Wherefore at all times men were divinely instructed about what they were to do, according as it was expedient for the spiritual welfare of the elect”  (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., [b. 1225 A.D. in Rocca Secca, Naples, Italy - d. Wednesday, March 7, 1274 A.D. in Fossa Nuova, Italy], Doctor of the Church, Summa Theologica, Part II-II, Question 174, Article 6, Body).

“The prophets who foretold the coming of Christ could not continue further than John, who, with his finger, pointed to Christ actually present. Nevertheless as [Saint] Jerome says on this passage, ‘This does not mean that there were no more prophets after John. For we read in the Acts of the Apostles that Agabus and the four maidens, daughters of Philip, prophesied.’ John, too, wrote a prophetic book about the end of the Church; and at all times there have not been lacking persons having the spirit of prophecy, not indeed for the declaration of any new doctrine of faith, but for the direction of human acts. Thus Augustine says (De Civ. Dei [City of God] v, 26) that ‘the emperor Theodosius sent to John who dwelt in the Egyptian desert, and whom he knew by his ever-increasing fame to be endowed with the prophetic spirit: and from him he received a message assuring him of victory’” (Saint Thomas Aquinas, O.P., Summa Theologica, Part II-II, Question 174, Article 6, Reply to Objection 3; emphasis added).

Marie-Julie Jahenny Was Given Very Important Prophecies about the NEW Mass

Marie-Julie Jahenny

Therefore, Private Revelations are not to be despised and/or ignored, including the prophecies from Private Revelation concerning the CHANGES to the Roman Catholic Church - most especially the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass - which prophecies of Jesus Christ and Our Blessed Mother the Stigmatist Marie-Julie Jahenny relayed to all Catholics.

Marie-Julie Jahenny saw that:

“There will not remain any vestige of the Holy Sacrifice, no apparent trace of faith. Confusion will be everywhere...”

In 1902 A.D. Jesus Christ Prophecized
A NEW "mass that contains words which are odious in My Sight"!

On Saturday, November 27, 1902, the 72nd anniversary of the Miraculous Medal Apparition [Saturday, November 27, 1830], Our Lord warned of the conspiracy of evil people which was already inventing a NEW liturgy - this was in 1902!!! - to replace the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass:

Christ the King

“I give you a warning. The disciples who are not of My Gospel are now working hard to remake, according to their ideas, and under the influence of the enemy of souls [Satan], a mass that contains words which are odious in My Sight. When the fatal hour arrives where the faith of My Priests are put to the test, it will be these texts that will be celebrated, in this second period.”

“The first period is the one of My Priesthood, existing since Me. The second is the one of the persecution, when the enemies of the Faith and of Holy Religion will impose their formulas in the book of the second celebration. These infamous spirits are those who crucified me and are awaiting the kingdom of the New Messias.  Many of My holy Priests will refuse this book, sealed with the words of the abyss. Unfortunately, amongst them are those who will accept it.”

In 1904 A.D. The Blessed Virgin Mary Prophecized
NEW clergy, NEW liturgy, NEW sacraments, NEW...

Our Blessed Mother

On Tuesday, May 10, 1904, Our Lady described the NEW Clergy and their NEW liturgy:

“They will not stop on this hateful and sacrilegious road. They will go further to compromise all at once, and in one blow, the Holy Church, the Clergy, and the Faith of my children.”

She announced the “dispersion of the pastors” by the church herself; true Pastors, who will be replaced by others formed by Hell:

“...NEW preachers of NEW sacraments, NEW temples, NEW baptisms, NEW confraternities.”

Infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church
By Modernist Heretics IS A Fact!

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Saint Pius X

“38. It remains for Us now to say a few words about the Modernist as reformer. From all that has preceded, it is abundantly clear how great and how eager is the passion of such men for innovation. In all Catholicism there is absolutely nothing on which it does not fasten. They wish Philosophy to be reformed, especially in the Ecclesiastical Seminaries. They wish the scholastic philosophy to be relegated to the history of philosophy and to be classed among absolute systems, and the young men to be taught modern philosophy which alone is true and suited to the times in which we live. They desire the reform of theology: rational theology is to have modern philosophy for its foundation, and positive theology is to be founded on the history of dogma. As for history, it must be written and taught only according to their methods and modern principles. Dogmas and their evolution, they affirm, are to be harmonized with science and history. In the Catechism no dogmas are to be inserted except those that have been reformed and are within the capacity of the people.

Regarding worship, they say, the number of external devotions is to he reduced, and steps must be taken to prevent their further increase, though, indeed, some of the admirers of symbolism are disposed to be more indulgent on this head. They cry out that Ecclesiastical Government requires to be reformed in all its branches, but especially in its disciplinary and dogmatic departments They insist that both outwardly and inwardly it must be brought into harmony with the modern conscience which now wholly tends towards democracy; a share in Ecclesiastical Government should therefore be given to the lower ranks of the clergy and even to the Laity and Authority which is too much concentrated should be decentralized.....”

“42....Against scholastic philosophy and theology they use the weapons of ridicule and contempt. Whether it is ignorance or fear, or both, that inspires this conduct in them, certain it is that the passion for novelty is always united in them with hatred of Scholasticism, and there is no surer sign that a man is tending to Modernism than when he begins to show his dislike for the Scholastic Method. Let the Modernists and their admirers remember the proposition condemned by Pius IX: ‘The method and principles which have served the ancient doctors of Scholasticism when treating of theology no longer correspond with the exigencies of our time or the progress of science.”[22]

They exercise all their ingenuity in an effort to weaken the force and falsify the character of tradition, so as to rob it of all its weight and authority. But for Catholics nothing will remove the authority of the second Council of Nicæa, where it condemns those “who dare, after the impious fashion of heretics, to deride the Ecclesiastical Traditions, to invent novelties of some kind...or endeavor by malice or craft to overthrow any one of the legitimate Traditions of the Catholic Church”;

nor that of the declaration of the fourth Council of Constantinople: “We therefore profess to preserve and guard the rules bequeathed to the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, by the Holy and most illustrious Apostles, by the orthodox Councils, both general and local, and by everyone of those divine interpreters, the Fathers and Doctors of the Church.” Wherefore the Roman Pontiffs, Pius IV and Pius IX, ordered the insertion in the Profession of Faith of the following declaration: “I most firmly admit and embrace the Apostolic and Ecclesiastical Traditions and other observances and constitutions of the Church.’.....”

“43. And here we have already some of the artifices employed by Modernists to exploit their wares. What efforts do they not make to win new recruits! They seize upon professorships in the seminaries and universities, and gradually make of them chairs of pestilence. In sermons from the pulpit they disseminate their doctrines, although possibly in utterances which are veiled. In congresses they express their teachings more openly. In their social gatherings they introduce them and commend them to others. Under their own names and under pseudonyms they publish numbers of books, newspapers, reviews, and sometimes one and the same writer adopts a variety of pseudonyms to trap the incautious reader into believing in a multitude of Modernist writers. In short, with feverish activity they leave nothing untried in act, speech, and writing. And with what result? We have to deplore the spectacle of many young men, once full of promise and capable of rendering great services to the Church, now gone astray. It is also a subject of grief to Us that many others who, while they certainly do not go so far as the former, have yet been so infected by breathing a poisoned atmosphere, as to think, speak, and write with a degree of laxity which ill becomes a Catholic. They are to be found among the laity, and in the ranks of the clergy, and they are not wanting even in the last place where one might expect to meet them, in religious communities...”

“49...For the future the doctorate of theology and canon law must never be conferred on anyone who has not first of all made the regular course of scholastic philosophy; if conferred, it shall be held as null and void” (Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius X, Giuseppe Sarto [Tuesday, August 4, 1903 - Thursday, August 20, 1914], Encyclical PASCENDI DOMINICI GREGIS, On the Doctrine of the Modernists, Sunday, September 8, 1907; emphasis added).

Automatic Excommunication of Modernist Heretics
By the Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Saint Pius X

Infallible Roman Catholic Pope Saint Pius X

"Moreover, in order to check the daily increasing audacity of many modernists who are endeavoring by all kinds of sophistry and devices to detract from the force and efficacy not only of the decree “Lamentabili sane exitu” (the so-called Syllabus), issued by Our order by the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition on July 3 of the present year, but also of Our encyclical letters “Pascendi Dominici Gregis” given on September 8 of this same year, We do by Our Apostolic Authority repeat and confirm both that decree of the Supreme Sacred Congregation and those encyclical letters of ours, adding the penalty of excommunication against their contradictors, and this We declare and decree that should anybody, which may God forbid, be so rash as to defend any one of the propositions, opinions or teachings condemned in these documents he falls, ipso facto, under the censure contained under the chapter “Docentes” of the constitution “Apostolicae Sedis,” which is the first among the excommunications latae sententiae [automatic excommunication], simply reserved to the Roman Pontiff. This excommunication is to be understood as salvis poenis, which may be incurred by those who have violated in any way the said documents, as propagators and defenders of heresies, when their propositions, opinions and teachings are heretical, as has happened more than once in the case of the adversaries of both these documents, especially when they advocate the errors of the Modernists that is, the synthesis of all heresies" (Infallible Roman Catholic Pope, Saint Pius X, Motu Proprio PRÆSTANTIA SCRIPTURÆ SACRÆ, Monday, November 18, 1907).

No wonder the Apostolic Tradition, as well as the Catholic Faith, Mass, and Sacraments were changed to the point of destruction, and Catholic books were thrown out to be replaced by these anti-Catholic Modernist heretic Infiltrators' toxic waste!!!

Infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church
By Communists IS A Fact!

Roman Catholic Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, D.D.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Offered According to the Ancient Roman Rite of the Catholic Church

N.B.  This is a Sacrifice, not a Protestant Memorial Supper Meal!

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, D.D.  was a powerful combatant against Communist infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church.

“Bishop Fulton Sheen, auxiliary bishop of New York while giving a discourse at Saint Suzanna of Rome revealed that in 1936 the American Communists recruited some agents for infiltrating the religious communities to destroy them from within. An appeal was made [by the Communists] for volunteers to become priests and study in the seminaries” (André Mignot, Les Fumees de Satan, page 14; emphasis added).

Father Joaquin Sáenz y Arriaga, S.J., PhD., Th. D., J.C.D.
[b. on Thursday, October 12, 1899 A.D.  - d. Wednesday, April 28, 1976 A.D.]

The Jewish Fifth Column in the Clergy

"The Freemasonic-Jacobin revolution was successful in ruining the whole of Christianity, according to the same method that now triumphs in overwhelming form in the Jewish-Communist revolution: for the Holy Catholic Church and the whole of Christianity have only been able to fight against the arms of this octopus (the Communist party, revolutionary groups and in a few cases, as in Spain, Freemasonry), although its powerful head has remained untouched. For this reason the monster has been able to renew and restore the limbs which were occasionally cut off it, in order to use them anew and still more effectively, until gradually it has been successful in enslaving half the Christian world (Russia and the East-European states), and now has the plan of enslaving the rest of mankind."

"The lasting victory of the Jewish-Freemasonic and Jewish-Communist revolutions since the end of the 18th century up to our days is also to be attributed to the fact that neither the Holy Catholic Church nor the separated Churches1 have fought effectively against the Jewish Fifth Column, which has smuggled [infiltrated] itself into their bosom."

"This Fifth column [i.e. group of Infiltrators] is formed by the descendants of the Jews, who in earlier centuries were converted to Christianity and seemingly held in enthusiastic manner to the religion of Christ, while in secret they preserved their Jewish belief and carried out clandestinely the Jewish rites and ceremonies. For this purpose they organised themselves into communities and secret synagogues, which were active centuries-long in secret. These apparent Christians, but secret Jews, began centuries ago to infiltrate into Christian society, in order to attempt to control it from within. For this reason they sowed false doctrines and differences of opinion and even attempted to gain control of the clergy in the different churches of Christ. With all this, they applied the cunning of introducing crypto-Jewish Christians into the seminaries of the priesthood, who could gain admission into the honorary offices in the Holy Catholic Church and then into the dissident churches, upon whose division these secret Jews had so much influence"  (Maurice Pinay, a.k.a.  Father Joaquin Sáenz y Arriaga, S.J., PhD., Th. D., J.C.D. [b. on Thursday, October 12, 1899 A.D.  - d. Wednesday, April 28, 1976 A.D.], The Plot Against The Church, Part Four - The “Jewish Fifth Column” in the Clergy, Chapter One - The Octopus Strangling Christianity, ¶ 1-3; emphasis added).

Infiltration of the Church in the Latter Part of
The Third Century to the Early Part of the Fourth Century

In various places in this work, reference is made to the subject of the infiltration of the Church.

First Œcumenical Council

The First Council of Nicæa - Council of Nicæa I
[Saturday, June 20, 325 A.D. - Tuesday, August 25, 325 A.D.]

Roman Emperor Constantine I, Who Convoked this Council, is in the Center Foreground

Although some Readers might think that such infiltration is a 20th Century phenomena, the problem of infiltration is found with a notorious Infiltrator concerning whom the Roman Emperor Constantine I, a.k.a. Constantine the Great, a.k.a. C. Flavius Valerius Constantinus [b. at Naissus, now Nisch in Servia sometime between 274 A.D. - 288 A.D. - d. after being Baptized by the heretical Arian Bishop, Eusebius of Nicomedia, in Nicomedia at the Villa Aquilo in May, 337 A.D.]; Roman Emperor [proclaimed Caesar by his troops on Wednesday, July 25, 306 A.D. -  May, 337 A.D.], on Saturday, June 20, 325 A.D., convoked the First Œcumenical Council, the First Council of Nicæa (Council of Nicæa I [Saturday, June 20, 325 A.D. - Tuesday, August 25, 325 A.D.]).

Eighteen hundred years later the same phenomenon appears; the Hebrews as spreaders of atheism and of Communist materialism among the Christians, Mohammedans and the other Gentiles, take every kind of precautionary measure to prevent the materialistic cancer from infecting the Israelite communities, which they have been better able to achieve at present than in the times of Gnosticism; for the experience of eighteen centuries in this kind of service has made these destroyers into true masters in the art of handling poisons and of spreading them throughout the world without the poison infecting the Jews themselves. At all events even still in our days the Rabbis must be constantly on guard, in order to prevent materialism, with which they have immersed half the surrounding world, from causing damage in the Hebrew families. They constantly seize upon measures of different kind, in order to present this. The atheistic and materialistic poison is only destined for the Christians and Gentiles, in order to render their domination easier; for Jewry must preserve itself with its mystique purer than ever. They know that it is mysticism which makes men who fight for an ideal invincible. Just as the Hebrews had no scruples at other times when they spread teachings against Jehovah himself and advocated the cult of Satan, which is so common in Black Magic, so they now have no scruples in spreading the atheistic materialism of the Jew Marx, although the latter denies the existence of God of Israel himself. The end justifies the means. This maxim the Hebrews observe down to its most unbelievable consequences.

With the conversion of Constantine, the victory of Holy Church over Paganism, Gnosticism and Jewry was complete.

When once Holy Church was controller of the enormous power of the Roman Empire, the Jews lacked any possibility of persecuting it further and attacking it directly or inciting persecution through pagan emperors against Christianity, as they had done previously.
 
 

“Synagogue of Satan”

“Thou art blasphemed by them that say
they are Jews and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan”
(Apocalypse 2:9)

However, the “Synagogue of Satan” did not give way before such a bleak picture. It clearly understood that, in order to destroy the Church, only one aid remained of the three which we have studied. It directed its special attention to its “Fifth Column” of false new converts who were smuggled into Christianity, in order through Church divisions and internal underground movements to be able to attain the desired goal, the destruction of the Church of Christ. The fact that in some points the Christian doctrine was not well defined made the task far easier for them.

Arianism, the great heresy, which split Christianity over three and a half centuries, was the work of a concealed Jew, who outwardly practiced Christianity; a striking and infamous example of the descendants of Judas Iscariot, like all those priests who, as members of the “Jewish Fifth Column”, have infiltrated into the Catholic Church.

Father Arius, a Zionist Infiltrator - A Member of the “Jewish Fifth Column”
[b. c. 250 A.D. or 256 A.D.  - d. 336 A.D.]

He is depicted in the above picture under the feet the Fathers of the First Council of Nicaea
Symbolic of the Defeat of his Heresy Against the Divinity of Jesus Christ

N.B.  Before Constantine I died, he had named Father Arius the Patriarch of Constantinople. A grand solemn procession was organized for the inauguration ceremony.  As Father Arius proudly paraded through the center of the city of Constantinople, he was suddenly seized by very severe stomach pain, accompanied by a violent relaxation of the bowels. He stopped the parade and retired to a convenient place behind Constantine’s Forum.  Arriving there, his bowels protruded, followed by a copious hemorrhage, and then his intestines burst forth and fell to the floor.  Then the heretic, who denied the Divinity of Jesus Christ, fell over dead! Let this be a warning to anyone who denies that Jesus Christ IS GOD!

N.B.  The following is a direct quote from The Plot Against The Church.  I have not used quotation marks in order not to detract from the various quotes in this source which has used quotation marks to identify its quotes:
 

The well-known American writer, William Thomas Walsh, who is outstanding for his zealous Catholicism and has well documented works, says to us, referring to the mode of action of the Jews who infiltrated into Christianity, the following: “Arius, the Catholic Jew (Father of the heresy) treacherously attacked the Divinity of Christ, and he was successful in dividing the Christian world for centuries” (William Thomas Walsh:  "Philip II", Ed. Espasa Calpe, p. 266).

From the trials by the Inquisition against the crypto-Jews, who were called the Judaising heretics, one can conclude that the Trinity is one of the Catholic dogmas which the Jews reject most violently; for what repels them most of all in their deadly hatred towards Christ, is the fact that Jesus Christ is regarded as the second person within the Holy Trinity; this means that God is One in essence and Three in person. It is therefore illuminating that the Jews, after they had infiltrated into the Church through their pretended conversion to Christianity, afterwards strove to alter the dogma of the Church in such a way as to regard God as one in person and hence to deny the divinity of Christ.

Arius was born in Libya, which at this time was under Roman rule. Already as a youth he joined himself to the schism of Melesius, who usurped the office of the Bishop of Alexandria; however, after the cause of Melesius had suffered severe setbacks, Arius was reconciled with the Church. It is well known how the Jews make use of such reconciliations with the Church, of which they say themselves that such were performed as true comedies, exactly as suits them.

The always universally kind Holy Church, which is fundamentally ready to pardon the repentant sinner, sanctioned the reconciliation with Arius, by taking him anew into its holy bosom, while this secret Jew merely made use of this kindness, like all who belong to his race, in order to later cause it inconceivable harm which could easily have caused such misfortune as that which threatens us today.

After Arius had consoled himself, he had himself consecrated as Catholic priest and presbyter of the Bishop Alexander of Alexandria, by whom he was entrusted with the church of Baucalis. Various outstanding Church historians attribute to Arius an extraordinary and impressive asceticism as well as a remarkable mysticism; to which are added his great talents as a preacher and a convincing dialectic skill, which allowed him to convince the great mass of believers and even the hierarchies of Holy Church.

The basic principle of the Arian doctrine was the Jewish thesis of the absolute unity of God, denying the Trinity and representing Christ solely as the most exalted of all creatures, but in no way as possessing divine nature. This was one of the first serious attempts to provide Christianity with a Jewish stamp.

He neither attacked Christ nor criticized Him, as the professing Jews did; for then his mission would have failed, because no Christian would have supported him. In order to arouse no suspicion, he rather praised Jesus beyond all measure. So he gained the sympathy and interest of the faithful and then in the midst of all these speeches of praise he allowed his poison to seep in with the cunning denial of the divinity of Jesus Christ, since it is the point which encounters the most stiff-necked rejection by the Jews.

It is curious that, fourteen hundred years later, the Jews strike the same note when they deny the divinity of Christ and simultaneously praise Him in their doctrines and instructions in order to provoke no strong reactions amongst Christians introduced into the sect.

A further innovation which the Arian heresy brought with it, was the attempt to alter the doctrine and policy of the Church in relation to the Jews. While Christ damned them and upon various occasions attacked them in the sharpest possible way, and the Apostles did the same, as did the Church in general in its beginnings, Arius and his heresy strove to effect a true reform in this respect, in that they carried out a pro-Jewish policy and strove for an accommodation to the “Synagogue of Satan.”

Like John Huss, Calvin, Karl Marx, and other Jewish revolutionary leaders, Arius was a man of strong dynamism, of extraordinary perseverance as well as an artist of words and with the pen, who wrote pamphlets and even books (His work “Thalia” was of great importance for the spreading of heresy.), in order to convince the Church hierarchies, the civil governors and other outstanding personalities within the Roman Empire. The first important assistance was given to him on the part of Bishop Eusebius of Nicomedia, who on grounds of his great friendship with the Emperor possessed the boldness of wishing to win the latter for the Arian heresy. Even if he was not successful in this, he nevertheless succeeded unfortunately in leading Constantine astray, by making him believe that it was simply a question of discussions between different orthodox viewpoints. Under this assumption the Emperor sought in vain to introduce a settlement between Arius and the Bishop of Alexandria. He sent his advisor, Hosius, the Bishop of Cordova, so that the latter might bring about an understanding between the two parties. No result was attained. As if it had merely been a personal dispute between Bishop Alexander and Arius!

In the course of these negotiations Hosius and the Church reached the conviction that here it was not a simple dispute between different schools or persons, but rather a conflagration which threatened to scorch the whole of Christianity.

This is worthy of being remarked, since it is the classical technique with which the Jews begin a revolutionary movement. Upon many occasions they give themselves out to be harmless, good-willed, of small influence and without any kind of danger, so that the institutions threatened by the revolutionary germ do not allot to the latter its true importance and therefore look away from applying their whole force against it, which is imperative if it is to be rapidly and effectively destroyed.

Lulled through this outward conduct, the Christian or Gentile leading personages are accustomed to avoid such measures, by reacting in a modest way. This is utilized by Jewry, in order to treacherously kindle the conflagration, so that, when combative measures are finally resolved upon, it already possesses such an overwhelming force that it is impossible to halt it.

It is interesting to remark that, after Arius had finally been excommunicated by the Synod called in the year 321 by the Prelate of Alexandria and attended by over a hundred bishops, the heretic at first went to Palestine, in order to win disciples. And it is further worthy of note that the first Synod to support Arius by betraying Catholicism was precisely that of Palestine, as well as that of Nicomedia, where Eusebius, Arius’ right-hand man, was Bishop. It is illuminating that it was Palestine where, in spite of the repressive measures of Titus and Hadrian, the most compact Jewish population was found, and where the “Jewish Fifth Column”, which had infiltrated into the Church, was very powerful. It is therefore not strange that Arius, declared outlawed through excommunication and in a desperate position, sought his salvation in flight, in order to seek support with his brothers in Palestine. He was so successful in this intention that an entire Synod of Bishops and high-ranking clergy, as was the Synod of Palestine, decided upon support of him and gave new power and prestige to his cause, which, after its condemnation by the Synod of Alexandria, seemed condemned to failure.

In the same manner another Synod, which was assembled in Nicomedia, supported Arius and imparted to him, like that of Palestine, its approval to return to Egypt. In such a way did Arius and his fellow travelers set one Synod against the other and thus divide the episcopate of the Catholic world.

The study of this giant struggle which lasted for centuries, is extremely valuable, since it allows us to clearly recognize that the “Jewish Fifth Column” which has seeped into the clergy of Holy Church, was then already effective with the same methods as centuries later, when it was successful by means of a crypto-Jew, Cardinal Pierleoni, in usurping the dignity of Pope. These are likewise the same methods which, a thousand years later, were combated by the Holy Inquisition, and the same of which we are witnessing in our days.

Arius and the Arianist Bishops intrigued against the clergy who defended Holy Church. They persecuted and feuded against them and even attacked the venerable Bishops and all priests, without regard for their rank, who had appeared to the fore through their zeal in the defense of Catholicism. They persecuted and fought them by means of secret and poisonous intrigues and by means of false accusations, until they were rendered harmless or destroyed.

By means of a well-organised action the Arians on their side strove to bring under their control the Bishops’ offices when they fell vacant, and they were successful in occupying them with clergy of their own way of thinking and of preventing true Catholics from finding admittance to this office.

These infamous maneuvers were set in motion above all after the Ecumenical Council of Nicaea. At this council Arius and his heresy were condemned in spite of the opposition of a minority of heretical bishops, who participated with them in the Council and who vainly attempted to bring about the victory of their viewpoints which were just as novel and contrary to the traditional Catholic doctrine as those which some bishops wish to make prevail at the present Ecumenical Council of Vatican II.

In the campaign instigated by the heretical bishops against the Catholics, the uproar that they set in motion against Eustasius, the Bishop of Antioch, is particularly notable. The latter was accused by them of pretending to observe the agreement of the Council of Nicaea, but in reality sowing the Sabellian heresy and discord. With these and other accusations the traitorous clergy were so successful that he was deposed and an Arianist bishop named in his stead. In addition, they were successful in deceiving Constantine, who, in the belief that he was offering the Church a service, exiled the devout bishop of the land and allowed the hypocritical heretics to enjoy his support, since he regarded them as the true defenders of the Church. (Cavallera: Le Schisme d’Antioche. Sellers. R.V. “Eustasius of Antioch and his place in the early doctrine of Christ.” Cambridge 1928.)

But more important still is the conspiracy that they instigated in order to destroy Saint Athanasius, who had succeeded Alexander, after the latter’s death, in the Patriarchate of Alexandria. Already at the Council of Nicaea he had demonstrated that he was one of the bulwarks in the defense of Holy Church. This had cost him the hatred of the Arian clergy, who recognised the necessity of making him harmless. In order to gain the Emperor to their side, they accused Saint Athanasius of cultivating relations with certain rebels of the Empire. This is the classical maneuver of Jewry in all times; if it is wished to remove any kind of leading personage from the sphere of the head of State, then at the suitable moment a conspiracy is instigated, in order to make the latter believe that the former conspires against him and is secretly allied with his enemies. In this manner they succeed in getting the head of State to remove leading personage who hinders the Jewish plans. In such a manner they accused Saint Athanasius of having humiliated the clergy by laying upon them a linen tax, as well as sowing discord in the ranks of the Church.

This slander is also a classical method of the “Fifth Column,” which, when it is seen that a conspiracy is instigated against Holy Church and someone denounces it or rushes to the defense of the institution, sends its crypto-Jewish clergy into the field to accuse the defenders of the Church of undermining the unity of the Church and of sowing discord among Christianity. In reality it is they, the enemies of Christ who have infiltrated into the clergy, who with their conspiracies and dark machinations provoke those schisms and divisions, and not the true Christians upon whom lies the duty of defending Catholicism and preventing the former from winning ground.

So it occurred in the case of Saint Athanasius; the heretical clergy were in reality those, who through their mode of action conjured up the schism. But they possessed the insolence to accuse Saint Athanasius of sowing discord, because he attempted to defend Holy Church in the face of the machinations of heresy.

The blow was additionally directed higher up; for Arius and his followers knew very well that the unity of the Church lay before the eyes of Constantine as the highest goal, and thus they hoped to bring down Saint Athanasius with a typical accusation of provoking discord.

Later, the Melesian heretics, working together with the Arians, accused Saint Athanasius of having murdered one of the collaborators of their leader; however, Athanasius was successful in discovering the whereabouts of the man whom he was falsely alleged to have murdered, so that the slanders were exposed.

Since up to then all intrigues had failed, they now took refuge in one last maneuver. In Tyre they summoned a Synod of Bishops, at which they accused Saint Athanasius of having seduced a woman; however, he was also successful in refuting this slander.

However, the Arian Bishops were successful in bringing under their control the Synod of Tyre and resolved upon the deposition of Saint Athanasius as Patriarch of Alexandria. Concerning this, an inflammatory note was despatched to bishops all over the world, so that the latter should break off all relations with Saint Athanasius, who was accused of various crimes. Constantine, who highly respected the decisions of the Synods of Bishops, was highly impressed. This together with another skillfully launched slander campaign, which accused Saint Athanasius of selling grain to the Egyptians in order to prevent it reaching Constantinople and in this manner to create a food shortage in the capital of the Roman Empire, made the Emperor furious. He banished the unfortunate Saint, whom at this time he regarded as the most dangerous disturber of public order and the unity of Holy Church.

While the Arian bishops first gained the sister of the Emperor, Constance, who exercised a strong influence upon him, and other confidants, to their side, they continually gave the hypocritical appearance of watching with zeal over the unity of the Church and of the Empire, which was so strongly desired by Constantine, and they accused the Catholics of endangering this unity with their exaggerations and eccentricities. They thus attained that Constantine, who had supported orthodoxy at the Council of Nicaea, carried out a deviation towards Arians and approved the solemn re-acceptance of the latter into the bosom of the Church. This would have been without doubt the apotheosis and the highest triumph of the Jew Arius, who already played with the idea of demanding the Papal dignity of the Holy Catholic Church, which, regarded by modest human understanding, did not seem impossible; for he could already count upon the friendly approval of the Emperor and on the support of a daily growing number of bishops within Christianity. However, in the face of the support which God allows his Holy Church to enjoy, all human calculations must fail. The Church, will certainly be persecuted, but never conquered; and Arius died on the threshold of his victory in such a mysteriously tragic manner, as Saint Athanasius himself has recorded for posterity. It is very interesting to quote what the “Castilian Jewish Encyclopedia”, an official Jewish document, asserts about this great Church Father and Saint, Athanasius:

“Athanasius (Saint), Church Father (293-373), Patriarch of Alexandria, resolute opponent of the Arian teachings which approach a pure Monotheism and hence the Jewish doctrines. Athanasius polemicized against the Jews from dogmatic grounds, but the situation of the Jews worsened everywhere so that the teachings of Athanasius triumphed over the Arian doctrines, as was the case with the Visigoths in Spain.”

Like other Church Fathers, Saint Athanasius fought bitterly not only against the Arians, but also against the Jews. As one sees, the latter attribute such an importance to his teachings that the Jewish Encyclopedia categorically admits, that “the situation of the Jews worsened where the teachings of Saint Athanasius triumphed.” It is therefore understandable that the powers of evil unleashed a satanic hatred against the Patriarch of Alexandria.

If Saint Athanasius and other great Church Fathers had lived in our time, the “Jewish Fifth Column”, which has infiltrated into the clergy, would certainly have done all in its power so that the Church condemned them on account of Anti-semitism.

As far as the Bishop of Cordova, Hosius, is concerned, he had been another Paladin of the Church in the struggle against Arianism and was the soul of the Council of Nicaea, and was an active fighter against Jewry. After he had distinguished himself at the Council of Elvira, which under the name Illiberian [a.k.a. Elliberian] Council was held in the years 300 to 303, he exercised a decisive influence upon the approbation of canons tending to effect a separation between Christians and Jews, in order to counter the influence of the latter over the former. Since at that time the harmful fraternizing of the Catholic clergy with the Jews was the order of the day, the Illiberian Council accordingly strove to counter this evil state with drastic measures. In this respect the following rules are interesting:

Canon L [50]. “Should a priest or one of the faithful sit at table with Jews, then for his amendment he shall be excluded from Communion.”

Canon XLIX [49]. “It has been found good to thoroughly admonish teachers that they should not suffer their fruits received from God to be blessed by Jews, so that our distribution of blessings does not become weak or valueless. Should anyone be presumptuous enough to do this, after it has been forbidden, then he should be excluded from the Church.”

Canon XVI  [16]. “It is determined among other things that the Jews, and likewise heretics, must not be permitted Catholic wives. So that there may be no communion between the faithful and unfaithful.”

This last Canon is clear and sharp. Any communion between Christians and Jews is regarded as dangerous.

The Illiberian Council had a great importance, since its disciplinary measures were to a great part incorporated in the general legislation of the Church.

After Constantine’s death, his three sons took over the government of the Empire: Constantine II and Constans in the west, and Constantius in the East. The first two were passionate Catholics, while Constantius was admittedly a good Christian, but was very influenced through friendship with his father’s friend, the Arian Eusebius of Nicomedia. After the death of Constantine, however, both Constantius as well as his two brothers approved of the return of Saint Athanasius and other orthodox bishops from banishment, who had been expelled from the land through the intrigues of the Arians. In addition, after the death of Eusebius of Nicomedia, in the year 342, this bad influence upon Constantius vanished, who, under the influence of his brother Constans and of Pope Julius, finally supported Catholic orthodoxy.

Extremely alarmed over the progress of Jewry, Constantius applied against the latter the measures that the Jews call the first great persecution on the part of the Christians.

For the course of twelve years, up to the death of Constans and of Pope Julius, the Catholics were successful in almost overcoming Arianism. Under the imprint of the sermons and the great regard for Saint Athanasius as well as Bishop Hosius of Cordova, it seemed destined to perish. Constantius had a long and extremely heartfelt conversation with Saint Athanasius in Antioch, during which the Emperor of the Orient showed him the greatest deference. And finally the illustrious Father of the Church made his entrance into Alexandria in a kind of veritable apotheosis.

When Ursacius and Valente, the leaders of Arianism, recognised imminent defeat and were alarmed by the firm conduct of Constantius in favour of orthodoxy, they bowed to the situation and went so far as to beg from the Pope their reconciliation with the Catholic Church.

This was one further example of the classical tactics of the foe, which the Jew Stalin called “strategic withdrawal.” This consists in yielding in the moment of defeat, in abandoning the struggle outwardly, in order to avoid defeat, and in conspiring in the background until one is sufficiently strong to risk a new attack as soon as the possibility of triumph appears.

If things went badly with Arianism, then it was worse still for Jewry; for when Constantius had convinced himself of the danger that it represented for the Empire and Christianity, he began, as the great Jewish historian Graetz proves, to expel the Jewish doctors of laws from the land. In consequence of this decree, many of them had to emigrate to Babylonia. The persecutions worsened to such a degree that the leading Jews were threatened with death, which resulted in an even greater flow of emigration, particularly from Judaea. This development caused the decline of the Jewish Academy of Tiberiades. The very frequent marriages between Jews and Christians were punished by Constantius with death, whereby he went beyond what was laid down in this respect by Canon 16 of the Illiberian Council.

As shown by the Israelite Graetz, the Jews were called “the murderers of God” by Catholics in that time. In answer to this, the Jews instigated isolated rebellions against the Empire, which, however, were nipped in the bud.

But all these setbacks did not discourage me enemy, who lurked in the background and awaited the first favorable opportunity to assert themselves again. This favorable opportunity began to show itself when first Constans and then Pope Julius died, whose beneficial influence had caused Constantius to hold firm to Catholicism.

The Arian leaders Valente and Ursacius, who had hypocritically implored their reconciliation with orthodoxy, took up their intrigues anew, while they sought at all costs to estrange Constantius from orthodoxy. For this purpose they flattered his selfishness and made use of his utterly violent reactions towards everything which might lessen his authority or his prestige. In the background the Arians instigated a true conspiracy, in order to distance Constantius from Saint Athanasius and thus obtain his withdrawal with them from orthodoxy. Among other slanders they accused him of disseminating defamatory rumors against the Emperor, by which he was alleged to represent the Emperor as a heretic and as excommunicated. In this manner they attempted to cause the people to withdraw their support from Saint Athanasius and at the same time to lyingly present him as an enemy of the Emperor. The Arians represented themselves as his most loyal subjects.

These sinister machinations against Athanasius and the Catholics infuriated Constantius. More and more he inclined to the side of the Arians, until finally in common with them he attempted to persuade Liberius, the new Pope, to divest the illustrious Church Father of his dignity.

It is incredible, how Jewry frequently manages to transform its sworn opponents into unconscious allies, whereby, as in this case, it makes use of the most subtle means in order to attain its goal. In history there have been several examples like that of Constantius.

The Holy Father, pressed by the Emperor, pointed out the necessity of calling a new Council to attempt to put an end to this dispute. With the agreement of the Emperor the Council of Arles was called, which took place in the year 353 in the presence of two Papal Legates. Great were the expectancies which the good placed upon the Council for the obtaining of Christian unity; but the bishops, led by Valente and Ursacius in the service of the “Fifth Column”, were able to instigate such intrigues and such pressures that the Council finally yielded to the demands of the Arians, who were granted support through the implacable pressure of Imperial power. Even the two Papal Legates yielded and, as a disastrous consequence, the unjust condemnation of Saint Athanasius was resolved upon.

The sole Bishop, who voted against the resolution, was Paulinus of Trier, who for this reason was expelled from the land. But when Pope Liberius received the knowledge of its disastrous outcome, he raised objectives and proposed summoning another Synod, which was held in Milan in the year 355. But this Synod also was the target of countless conspiracies and exposed to the pressure of the heretical bishops who enjoyed the support of the Emperor. Finally they were successful. This new Synod composed of 300 Bishops condemned Saint Athanasius once again. Thus Arianism gained a complete triumph and was able to again ban the highly regarded Saint. Since the Pontifex Maximus refused to yield to the demands of the Arians and of Constantius, the Emperor banished the Pope as well, a banishment which lasted quite some time.

However, the efforts of Athanasius, that Saint and Father of the Church, that iron and dynamic man, who revealed so much courage and tenacity in the face of the enemy, finally bore fruit. After three centuries of struggle Holy Church finally triumphed over Jewry and its heresy. What the Church and men of today urgently need are men who possess the hardness, the courage and the energy of such as Saint Athanasius, to counter the Jewish-Communist threat, which, exactly as in the case of the Jewish-Arian heresy, has brought Catholicism to the edge of the abyss.

We are certain that in this situation, as also in similar situations, the Lord God shows us His mercy so that among the hierarchies of Holy Church new Athanasiuses will appear, which the Church needs for its salvation. This is the maxim of our time in which the modern instruments of Jewry within the Church, such as false apostles, play into the hands of Communism and the “Synagogue of Satan.” They cripple the defensive powers of the Church, in order to mislead the truly faithful and to make possible the triumph of the worldly foe, just as they intend to do at the present Ecumenical Council Vatican II, called by John XXIII.

Finally we must point out that the inconstancy of Constantius is also revealed in his conduct towards Jewry. In contrast to his hostile policy, he decreed measures which favored it; thus the law that equated the Jewish patriarchs and officials working in the service of the synagogue with the Christian clergy, exempted them from the severity of the law, as the Israelite historian Graetz himself reports to us.

[b. Alexandria, Egypt 296 A.D. - d. Alexandria, Egypt on Wednesday, May 2, 373A.D.]

The Heretics May Possess the Buildings of the Church,
But You Posses the FAITH of the Church

Historically, many members of the Catholic Church fell into heresy, and/or apostasy, and/or schism from the Catholic Church before 1900 A.D.

Perhaps the most notorious of such "catholic" churches is the "Arian" church, founded by the Zionist-Jew - Father Arius [b.  ?  - d. 336 A.D.] of the Diocese of Alexandria, Egypt which is part of the Patriarchate of Alexandria.

He taught the heresy that Jesus Christ is not God.  This heresy spread throughout much of what was the Catholic Church, bringing many Bishops and Priests (and with them their Catholic Laity) into this "Arian catholic" church.  Concerning this almost universality of the spread of this heretical, apostate "Arian" cult, Saint Jerome made this famous comment:

"The whole world groaned, and was astonished to find itself Arian"  (Saint Jerome, a.k.a. Eusebius Hieronymus, a.k.a. Sophronius [b. Stridon, Dalmatia c. 340 A.D. - d. Bethlehem, Palestine, Wednesday, September 30, 420 A.D.], Doctor of the Catholic Church, The Dialogue Against the Luciferians, ¶ 18-19; emphasis added).

This heresy was first combated by the First Œcumenical Council, the First Council of Nicæa [Saturday, June 20, 325 A.D. - Tuesday, August 25, 325 A.D.], especially by the future Patriarch of Alexandria, Egypt, Saint Athanasius.

But it took many decades before the Arian heresy was totally destroyed.  During this time period, especially when the Arian heresy was at its zenith, many Catholic Laity were no longer able to go to what once had been Catholic Churches because they were occupied by heretics - Arian Bishops and Priests.

Patriarch Saint Athanasius was exiled from his Patriarchate a number of times, along with many of his Catholic Bishops and Priests.  Some of his faithful Catholics wrote him a letter about how they were no longer able to go to what had been their local Catholic Churches.

From exile, Patriarch Saint Athanasius responded to their letter with his letter in which he writes in part:

“May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the Churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises -- but you have the apostolic faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the faith?  The true faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in this struggle -- the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the faith?”

“True, the premises are good when the apostolic faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ...”

“You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the faith which has come down to you from apostolic tradition, and if an execrable jealously has tried to shake it in a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis.”

“No one, ever, will prevail against your faith, beloved brothers, and we believe that God will give us our Churches back some day.”  (This proved to be an accurate prophecy because the Arians were eventually overcome and the Catholics were once more restored to their churches.)

“Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church but in reality they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray.”

 “Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ" (Patriarch Saint Athanasius [b. Alexandria, Egypt 296 A.D. - d. Alexandria, Egypt on Wednesday, May 2, 373A.D.], Patriarch of Alexandria, Egypt, Father of Orthodoxy in the Catholic Church, Coll. Selecta SS. Eccl. Patrum. Caillu and Guillou, Volume 32, pp 411-412).

Secret Communist Infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church

Secret Communist Infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church
Revealed by Former Communists!
 

Dr. Bella V. Dodd

Dr. Bella V. Dodd
[b. at Picerno, Italy in October, 1904 - d. in April, 1969]

Mrs. Bella V. Dodd, a.k.a.  Maria Asunta Isabella Visono [Baptized Maria Asunta Isabella in Picerno, Italy in October, 1904 - d. April, 1969], who was born to Rocco Visono and Teresa Marsica in Picerno, Italy, was a leader of the Communist Party of America (CPUSA - Communist Party U.S.A.) in the 1930’s and 1940’s.

Below are some quotes from her autobiography in order to help all Readers better understand the "mind of a Communist", because this is the same mentality which you will find in the various Communist Infiltrators in the Roman Catholic Church, beginning in the early part of the 1900's, and especially their "Convention" in the first half of the 1960's, a.k.a. Synod Vatican 2!  It is important to know one's enemies, in this case, Communist propaganda, Communist fear and smear tactics, etc.!

Plus, you will find some very important quotations about the Communist infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church via Roman Catholic Church Seminaries!

In her autobiography, she puts her birth into the context of her family situation:

“I WAS  Born in Southern Italy on a farm that had been in my mother’s family for generations.  But I was really an American born on Italian soil as the result of a series of accidents, and it was also an accident which kept me in Italy until I was almost six years old.  Not until years afterward did I learn that one reason my mother had left me there was in the hope that someday she could persuade her husband, in New York with her other children, to return with them to Italy.  To her that farm near Potenza was home.  But she was never able to persuade them of that, for America was the place of their choice.”

“My mother had been left a widow when the youngest of her nine children was still a baby.  With the help of the older children she ran the farm.  If Rocco Visono had not come to Potenza from his home in Lugano no doubt she would have remained there the rest of her life.”

“But Rocco fell in love with Teresa Marsica who, despite her nine children and a life of work, was still attractive, with bright, dark eyes and lively ways.  Rocco had come to visit a sister married to a petty government official and met Teresa in the nearby village of Picerno.  A stonemason by trade, he found work in Potenza while Teresa was making up her mind.  She was almost persuaded but hesitated when she learned that he planned to go to New York.  It took a long time to get her to agree to that.  She would look at her rich soil that grew good lettuce and beans.  This had been her father’s farm and her grandfather’s and his father’s.  How could she give it up and cross the Atlantic to uncertainty, and perhaps have no land there to cherish and work?”

“But the quiet, blue-eyed suitor was persistent.  The children were on his side, too, eager to go to America, for Rocco had told them glowing stories of the life there, of the freedom and the chance to get rich.  They argued and pleaded with their mother until she gave in.”

“The three oldest boys were to go with their father-elect, and my mother and the others were to join them later.  I say “elect” purposely, for Teresa, for reasons of her own, had insisted that she would not marry him until she arrived in America.  Having lost all the rest of the issues, he had to yield on this also, and the four left for the United States.”

“From East Harlem they sent enthusiastic reports.  There were many Italians living there;  it was like a colony of home people;  she must come quickly.  So Teresa accepted the inevitable.  She said good-by to her neighbors and her beloved fields, to the house that had sheltered her all her life and in which all her children had been born.  She put the farm in the charge of a relative for she could not bear to sell it.  She might come back someday.  With six children she sailed for the new home.”

“The three older boys and Rocco took her in triumph to their five-room flat on 108th Street.  Teresa was happy to see them again, but she looked with dismay at the honeycomb of rooms.  She was only partly comforted when her sister, Maria Antonia, who had been in America for some time, came to welcome her.”

“In January 1904 Rocco Visono and Teresa Marsica were married in the Church of St. Lucy in East Harlem.  It was perhaps on that day she felt most homesick of all, for a memory came to her when she heard the words of the priest — a recollection of the past, of Fidelia, her mother, and Severio, her father, and the farm workers and herself and her brothers and sisters, all kneeling together at family prayer in the big living room of the Picerno farmhouse.”

“Several months later a letter came from Italy telling Teresa that there was trouble with the management of her property.  At this news she persuaded Rocco that she must go back to adjust matters, perhaps rent the farm to responsible people, or even — this was his suggestion — sell it outright.”

“It was not until she was on the high seas that Teresa realized she was pregnant.  She was dismayed.  The business in Italy might take months and the baby might be born there.”

“The affairs of the farm took longer than she expected.  In October of 1904 I was born in Picerno and baptized Maria Assunta Isabella.  With my father’s approval Teresa decided to return to the United States and leave me in charge of a foster mother.  She hoped to return within a year, but it was five years before she saw me again.  I was almost six years old when I saw my father and brothers and sister for the first time.”

“The woman who became my foster mother and wet nurse was the wife of a shepherd in Avialano.  Her own baby had died and she was happy to have me.  For five years I lived with these simple people.  Though there was little luxury in the small stone house, I received loving care from both my foster parents.  I remember them and my memories go back to my third year.  Mamarella was a good woman and I was greatly devoted to her.  But it was to her husband, Taddeo, that my deepest love went.  There was no other child in the family and to me he gave all his parental affection” (Dr. Bella V. Dodd, Autobiography: “School of Darkness”, Chapter 1).

Dr. Bella V. Dodd

She was a brilliant and dedicated woman who was a graduate of Hunter College and of New York University Law School.

Dr. Dodd is on record saying:

“I am a product of the public schools of the city of New York, both elementary and high school.  I went to the Hunter College where I received my A. B. I did my master's work at Columbia University. I worked toward a doctorate in philosophy and then I switched into the legal division and went to New York University where I received a Degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence” (Dr. Dodd’s Testimony on Monday, November 16, 1953, to the United States House of Representatives, Subcommittee of the Committee on Un- American Activities, Philadelphia, Pa., Public hearing).

She became head of the New York State Teachers Union and was a member of the National Council of the CPUSA (Communist Party U.S.A.) until 1949.

Why did she become a Communist?

“I was subpoenaed by the New York County grand jury and interrogated at the district attorney’s office. In the midst of the questioning one of the two assistants asked me why I had become a Communist.”

“Because only the Communists seemed to care about what was happening to people in 1932 and 1933, I said. They were fighting hunger and misery and fascism then, and neither the major political parties nor the churches seemed to care. That is why I am a Communist.”

“I spoke with the practiced intensity of long habit but no longer with the old faith in the cause, for I no longer had the same deep conviction about the Party’s championship of the poor and dispossessed. I knew now that its activities were conceived in duplicity and ended in betrayal” (Dr. Bella V. Dodd, Autobiography: “School of Darkness”, Chapter 14).

In June, 1949 the Communist Party released a statement to the Associated Press announcing her expulsion from membership in the Communist Party.

What happened gives all of us an important look into the NEW World Order and the way in which Communist leadership treats Party members who have seen the lies and deception of these "Masters of Deceit", as J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the F.B.I. called them and which was the title of his book about Communism which I read when I was in my last year in the Seminary.

Here is Dr. Dodd's account of what happened, in case some people might still erroneously think Communism is not "intrinsically evil":

“A new plan against me developed in the following weeks, a strategy of slurs, character defamation, harassments. There were, of course, still many people in the trade-union movement and especially teachers who were not part of the inner communist circle who remembered the days of my campaigning. Now the Party decided to blacken my character publicly so that the simple working people in the Party who liked me would no longer have confidence in me.”

“The incident which was used as the excuse for my formal expulsion from the Party was of no importance in itself. The way in which it was handled was symptomatic of Party methods. On Lexington Avenue, a few doors from my home, lived a Czechoslovakian woman with whom I sometimes talked. She lived in a small three-story building where she served as janitor from 1941 to 1947. Her husband was permanently incapacitated and she was the sole support of the family. Acting as a janitor and working as a domestic several days a week, she managed to keep her family together.”

“In 1947 the owner of the building decided to sell it. The woman, afraid she would lose both her apartment and her job, made up her mind to buy it, and borrowed the money to do so. Thus she became technically a landlord; but her daily life remained the same; she was still the janitor. However, as owner of the house she had become involved with her tenants and in quick succession three judgments were entered against her. Her husband quarreled and left her. The attorney for the plaintiffs, eager to collect his fees, asked warrants for her arrest.”

“At this point she came to me for help and I agreed to represent her. In the end the court granted my plea, the tenants were paid, and the woman escaped imprisonment.”

“One thing was clear: only technically could she have been called a landlord. But the communist leadership heard with delight that Bella Dodd had appeared as ‘attorney for a landlord’. At last they had the excuse for getting me politically, the excuse for which they had been looking. Of course they could have simply expelled me but this would involve discussion of policies. They were looking for an excuse to expel me on charges that would besmirch my character, drive my friends away, and stop discussion instead of starting it. What better than to expel me for the crime of becoming a ‘hireling of the landlords’?”

“They must have realized that such an argument would scarcely be cogent to outsiders. Even to many of the Party it was weak. They must add something really unforgivable to make me an outcast in the eyes of the simple people of the Party. They did this by spreading the story that in my court appearances I had made remarks against the Puerto Rican tenants, that I had slandered them, and showed myself a racist, almost a fascist. And last of all, a charge of anti-Negro, anti-Semitism, and anti-working class was thrown in for good measure.”

“On May 6 a youth leader of the Communist Party, a round-faced, solemn youth, came to my house. I asked him in and offered him a cup of coffee, which he refused. Instead, he handed me a copy of written charges. When I said something about their falseness after I glanced through them, he gave me a sneering look and instructed me to appear for trial the next day at the local section commission, a block from my house.”

“I climbed the endless stairs to the drab, dirty meeting room with its smell of stale cigarettes. A group was waiting for me and I saw it consisted entirely of petty employees of the Party, those at the lowest rung of the bureaucracy. The three women among them had faces hard and full of hate — Party faces, I thought, humorless and rigid. They sat there like fates ready to pass on the destinies of human beings.”

“I had no quarrel with these people. In fact, as I looked at the group I had the feeling of a schoolteacher when small children become suddenly defiant of authority. One woman, the chairman, was Finnish. Another, a Puerto Rican, began shouting her hatred of me. At least it must have been hate to judge from her expression, for her English was too hysterical to be understood. The pudgy-faced boy was there, too. Of the other three men I recognized one as a waiter and the other as a piccolo player whom I had befriended.”

“This was an odd kind of trial. The Commission before me had already made up its mind. I asked whether I could produce witnesses. The answer was ‘No.’ I asked if I might bring the woman involved in the case to let her state the story. The answer was ‘No.’ I asked if the Commission would come with me to her house and speak with her and the tenants. The answer was ‘No.’ Then I asked if I might bring a communist lawyer who at least understood the legal technicalities I had been faced with in trying this simple case. The answer was ‘No.’”

“As simply as possible I tried to explain the facts to them. From the start I realized I was talking to people who had been instructed, who were hostile, and would continue so despite arguments or even proof. The Finnish woman who was chairman said that I would be informed of the result.”

“I was dismissed. As I walked down the dingy steps my heart was heavy. The futility of my life overcame me. For twenty years I had worked with this Party, and now at the end I found myself with only a few shabby men and women, inconsequential Party functionaries, drained of all mercy, with no humanity in their eyes, with no good will of the kind that works justice. Had they been armed I know they would have pulled the trigger against me.”

“I thought of the others who had been through this and of those who were still to go through this type of terror. I shivered at the thought of harsh, dehumanized people like these, filled with only the emotion of hate, robots of a system which was heralded as a new world [a.k.a. the NEW World Order!]. And I sorrowed for those who would be taken down the long road whose end I saw, now, was a dead end.”

“When I reached my own house and went in, the rooms were cool and quiet. I was tired and spent, as if I had returned from a long, nightmare journey.”

“Of course I was certain more trouble was in store for me. This step had been merely preliminary to publicity against me, clever publicity. For this expulsion had not originated in the dirty rooms of the Harlem Commission, but from the headquarters on Twelfth Street, and perhaps from more distant headquarters.”

“I dreaded the coming publicity and decided to get in touch with the one group whom I had regarded as my friends. I called the Teachers Union to tell the Party leaders what was surely coming. I thought they would understand and discount any false accusations.”

“I need not have bothered. From the testimony of John Lautner months later before the Senate Internal Security Committee I learned that Rose Russell and Abraham Lederman, leaders of the Teachers Union, had been present at the State Party meeting which engineered and confirmed my expulsion and issued the resolution to the press. The vote had been unanimous.”

“On June 17, 1949, my telephone rang. ‘This is the Associated Press,’ said a voice. ‘We have received a statement from the Communist Party announcing your expulsion from membership. It says here that you are anti-Negro, anti-Puerto Rican, anti-Semitic, anti-labor, and the defender of a landlord. Have you any statement to make?’”

“What statement could I make? ‘No comment,’ was all I could manage to say.”

“The New York papers carried the story the following day and three days later the ‘Daily Worker’ reprinted the long resolution of expulsion, signed by Robert Thompson”  (Dr. Bella V. Dodd, Autobiography: “School of Darkness”, Chapter 15).

Although some readers might be frustrated that they are unable to find anything in Dr. Dodd's various testimonies before various U.S. Government committees concerning what she and/or other Communists did when they were members of the Communist Party in the U.S. regarding the infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church in general and Roman Catholic Seminaries in particular, because - at her request - her testimonies about such things were "off the record", and the only data currently available is whatever written accounts one can find from the various speeches she made, perhaps these same readers will better understand her aversion to anything in writing about such things due to her very real fear of assassination by a Communist hit squad sent to kill her.  Her concerns about her self-preservation were certainly very real as is self-evident from the following examples:

“TO THE New York newspapers the story of the expulsion of a woman Communist was merely one more story. It was handled in the routine way. I winced, however, when reputable papers headlined the Communist Party charges and used the words ‘fascism’ and ‘racism,’ even though I knew these words were only quoted from the Party resolution.”

“I braced myself for further attacks from the Party, and they came soon in terms of economic threats. Some of my law practice came from trade-union and Party members, and here action was swift. The union Communists told me there would be no more referrals to me. Party members who were my clients came to my office, some with their new lawyers, to withdraw their pending cases.”

“Reprisals came, too, in the form of telephone calls, letters, and telegrams of hate and vituperation, many of them from people I did not know. What made me feel desolate were the reprisals from those I had known best, those among the teachers whom I had considered friends. While I was busy with Party work I sometimes thought proudly of my hundreds of friends and how strong were the ties that bound us. Now those bonds were ropes of sand.”

“What I had failed to understand was that the security I felt in the Party was that of a group and that affection in that strange communist world is never a personal emotion. You were loved or hated on the basis of group acceptance, and emotions were stirred or dulled by propaganda. That propaganda was made by the powerful people at the top. That is why ordinary Communists get along well with their groups: they think and feel together and work toward a common goal.”

“Even personal friends, some of whom I myself had taken into the Party, were lost to me now, and among them were many of my former students and fellow teachers. If rejection by an individual can cause the emotional destruction which our psychiatrists indicate, it cannot, in some ways, compare with the devastation produced by a group rejection. This, as I learned, is annihilating.”

“In vain I told myself that this was a big world and that there were many people other than Communists in it. It brought no consolation, for the world was a jungle in which I was lost, in which I felt hunted. Worst of all, I felt a constant compulsion to explain myself to those I met who were still in the communist circle. I tried at first, but soon gave it up.”

“I had always been an independent person and rarely gave my reasons for doing things. Now I wrote letters to people, some of whom had lived in my house or had been frequent guests there, and in whose homes I had been welcome. Those who replied were either abusive or obviously sought to disassociate themselves from me. Two friends replied in one sentence on the back of the letter I had written them only this: ‘Please do not involve us.’ Many did not answer at all.”

“Before long my office was empty except for snoopers and creditors. I gave up my home and moved into a dingy room near my office. I would go early to my office, read the Times and the Law Journal, and then sit and look out at Bryant Park, at the classical lines of the Public Library. I had spent many hours in that library as student and teacher, hungry for knowledge. Unfortunately I never really satisfied that hunger, for my reading in later years had been only communist literature and technical material. There is no censorship of reading so close and so comprehensive as that of the Party. I had often seen leaders pull books from shelves in homes and warn members to destroy them.”

“But I had no desire to read now. The one book I did open was the New Testament which I had never stopped reading even in my days of starkest Party delusion.”

“I stayed late in my office because there was no place to go other than my room, a dark, unpleasant place, with the odor of a second-class hotel. I still remember the misery and darkness of the first Christmas alone. I stayed in my room all day. I remember the New Year which followed, when I listened with utter despair to the gayety and noise from Times Square and the ringing bells of the churches. More than once I thought of leaving New York and losing myself in the anonymity of a strange town. But I did not go. Something in me struggled with the wave of nihilism engulfing me. Something stubborn in me told me I must see it through.”

“The New York Post asked me to write a series of articles on why I had broken with the Communist Party, and made me a generous offer. I agreed. But when I had finished them and read them over I did not want to see them published and found an excuse for refusing the offer. When a weekly magazine made an even more lucrative offer, I refused that, too. There were several reasons for this, as I now realize: one was that I did not trust my own conclusions, and another that I could not bear to hurt people I had known in the Party and for whom I still felt affection. Some I knew were entrapped as surely as I had been.”

[Editor's note:  It is interesting how Dr. Dodd writes that she had "several reasons" for why she did not write a series of articles on why she had broken with the Communist Party.  But she only gives two specific reasons.  The context of what she has written seems to indicate her fear of assasination was so strong that she could not even put this, perhaps her greatest fear, into writing?  This seems to be confirmed by what she writes below concerning her chance meeting with Christopher McGrath in Washington, D.C.:

“He [Christopher McGrath] asked me if I wanted FBI protection, and I must have shivered noticeably. Though I was afraid, I was reluctant to live that kind of life. He did not press the issue. Instead, he said: ‘I know you are facing danger, but if you won’t have that protection, I can only pray for your safety.’”

So much for the Communist NEW World Order Utopia!]

“It was a strange and painful year. The process of completely freeing oneself emotionally from being a Communist is a thing no outsider can understand. The group thinking and group planning and the group life of the Party had been a part of me for so long that it was desperately difficult for me to be a person again. That is why I have lost track of whole days and weeks of that period.”

“But I had begun the process of ‘unbecoming’ a Communist. It was a long and painful process, much like that of a polio victim who has to learn to walk all over again. I had to learn to think. I had to learn to love. I had to drain the hate and frenzy from my system. I had to dislodge the self and the pride that had made me arrogant, made me feel that I knew all the answers. I had to learn that I knew nothing. There were many stumbling blocks in this process.”

“One afternoon in March of that year an old acquaintance, Wellington Roe, came into my office. He breezed in with a broad smile and said he was just passing and had decided to say hello. I thought nothing further of his visit. ‘Duke,’ as we all called him, had been one of the Party’s front candidates in the American Labor Party. He was the leader of the Staten Island forces and had run for office on its ticket. He had helped in the fight against Dubinsky when the Party was struggling to get complete control of the Labor Party. I had not known him as a Party member but as a liberal and a friend of the Party, one who did not mind being used for their campaigns.”

“It was reassuring to talk about the Party in terms of the average newspaperman, and laugh at its strange antics which he lampooned. I told him about my articles and he said he wanted to see them and even spoke of a possible book contract. Then he talked of events in Washington. I told him I had been so immersed in my own troubles that I had paid little attention to current events. If I had any opinion about Senator McCarthy, of whom he spoke, and of whom the country was just becoming aware, it was that I thought of him as the opening gun in the Republican campaign.”

“He asked if I had ever known Owen Lattimore. I said I had not. Had I ever known him to be a Party member, he asked, and again I said no. I had heard of him vaguely, I said, as a British agent in the Far East.”

“A few weeks later Duke walked in again and this time asked if I would be willing to help Professor Lattimore. I replied I did not see how, since I did not know him. He talked of the importance of having all liberals unite to fight reaction wherever it was manifesting itself. This left me unconvinced. I had problems of my own and for once I did not wish to get involved with those of others. But he came again the next day, this time with a man he introduced as Abe Fortas, Lattimore’s attorney. I did not know him, but I had heard of him through mutual friends as a man who often defended civil-service employees faced with loyalty probes.”

“After a short talk the attorney said he thought he would have to subpoena me in the defense of Lattimore. When he saw my reluctance he asked if I would be willing to give him an affidavit saying that I had not heard of Lattimore while I was a leader in the Communist Party. So I signed an affidavit to that effect, and I thought that was the end of it.”

“I was naive to think so. A few days later I was served with a subpoena by the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate. Dumfounded, I called Duke. He said it was no surprise to him. Since he was going to Washington he would be happy to make a reservation for me. He would even rent a typewriter so that I could prepare a statement.”

Roman Catholic Senator Joseph Raymond McCarthy
[b. at Grand Chute, Wisconsin on Saturday November 14, 1908 -
d. (murdered by Communists when only 48 years old?) at Bethesda, Maryland on Thursday, May 2, 1957]

His name and reputation have been dragged through the mud of Communist Lies since his death.

“At the hearings I saw Lattimore for the first time. Duke was there too. At a table with Senator Tydings sat Senator Green of Rhode Island, Senator McMahon of Connecticut, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, and Senator Hickenlooper of Indiana. Back of them sat Senator McCarthy, and next to him Robert Morris, whom I had known as one of the attorneys for the Rapp-Coudert Committee.”

“I studied the senators before me. I knew that Senator Tydings was related in some way to Joseph Davies, former ambassador to Russia, who had written the friendly ‘Mission to Moscow’, and who had been active in Russian War Relief, receiving an award from the Soviet propaganda center in the United States, the Russian Institute. I knew of Senator McMahon’s proposal for sharing our atomic knowledge with Russia. I felt that these men in the seats of power had facts not available to the rest of us, and were going along with the postwar perspective of co-existence with the Soviet Union, a position easy for me to accept since it was much like the communist propaganda during the years of my involvement with the communist world. When Senator Hickenlooper began to throw hostile questions at me I reacted with the hostility of the Communist, and I gave slick, superficial answers, for I did not want to be drawn into what I regarded as a Democratic-Republican fight.”

“There is no doubt in my mind that on facts of which I had knowledge I told the truth. But when it came to questions of opinion there is no doubt that before the Tydings Committee I still reacted emotionally as a Communist and answered as a Communist. I had broken with the structure of the Party, but was still conditioned by the pattern of its thinking, and still hostile to its opponents.”

“Something, however, happened to me at this hearing. I was at last beginning to see how ignorant I had become, how long since I had read anything except Party literature. I thought of our bookshelves stripped of books questioned by the Party, how when a writer was expelled from the Party his books went, too. I thought of the systematic rewriting of Soviet history, the revaluation, and in some cases the blotting out of any mention of such persons as Trotsky. I thought of the successive purges. Suddenly I too wanted the answers to the questions Senator Hickenlooper was asking and I wanted the truth. I found myself hitting at the duplicity of the Communist Party.”

“I returned to New York alone and as the train sped through the darkness I looked out at the dim outline of houses in small towns and my heart went back to the memory of myself walking about the little Episcopalian cemetery as a child and putting flowers on the graves of American heroes. And suddenly I was aware of the reality of what was facing the country, a sobering fear of the forces planning against its way of life. I had an overwhelming desire to help keep safe from all danger all the people who lived in those little towns.”

“My appearance before the Tydings Committee had served one good purpose: it had renewed my interest in political events, and it had the effect of breaking the spell which had held me. I had at last spoken openly and critically of the Communist Party.”

“To those who find it difficult to understand how a mind can be imprisoned, my puny indictment of the communist movement before the Tydings Committee may have seemed slight indeed, for I no doubt gave some comfort to the Party by my negative approach. But it takes time to ‘unbecome’ a Communist.”

“But the event had been important to myself. I could now breathe again. I could read critically, and I lived again in the world so long lost to me.”

“I read the congressional report of the hearings on the Institute of Pacific Affairs. I found I was again able to interpret events. In my time with the Party I had accumulated a large store of information about people and events, and often these had not fitted into the picture presented by the Party to its members. It was as if I held a thousand pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and could not fit them together. It irritated me, but when I thought of the testimony of witnesses before the Congressional Committee, some of whom I had known as Communists, much of the true picture suddenly came into focus. My store of odd pieces was beginning to develop into a recognizable picture.”

“There had been many things I had not really understood. I had regarded the Communist Party as a poor man’s party, and thought the presence of certain men of wealth within it accidental. I now saw this was no accident. I regarded the Party as a monolithic organization with the leadership in the National Committee and the National Board. Now I saw this was only a facade placed there by the movement to create the illusion of the poor man’s party; it was in reality a device to control the ‘common man’ they so raucously championed.”

“There were many parts of the puzzle which did not fit into the Party structure. Parallel organizations which I had dimly glimpsed now became more clearly visible, and their connections with the apparatus I knew became apparent. As the war in Korea developed, further illumination came to me.”

“We in the Party had been told in 1945, after the publication of the Duclos letter, that the Party in the United States would have a difficult role to play. Our country, we were told, would be the last to be taken by the Communists; the Party in the United States would often find itself in opposition not only to the interests of our government, but even against the interests of our own workers.”

“Now I realized that, with the best motives and a desire to serve the working people of my country, I, and thousands like me, had been led to a betrayal of these very people. I now saw that I had been poised on the side of those who sought the destruction of my own country.”

“I thought of an answer Pop Mindel, of the Party’s Education Bureau, had once given me in reply to the question whether the Party would oppose the entry of our boys into the Army. I had asked this question at a time when the Communists were conducting a violent campaign for peace, and it seemed reasonable to me to draw pacifist conclusions. Pop Mindel sucked on his pipe and with a knowing look in his eyes said:”

“‘Well, if we keep our members from the Army, then where will our boys learn to use weapons with which to seize power?’”

“I realized how the Soviets had utilized Spain as a preview of the revolution to come. Now other peoples had become expendable — the Koreans, North and South, the Chinese soldiers, and the American soldiers. I found myself praying, ‘God, help them all.’”

“What now became clear to me was the collusion of these two forces: the Communists with their timetable for world control, and certain mercenary forces in the free world bent on making profit from blood. But I was alone with these thoughts and had no opportunity to talk over my conclusions with friends.”

“The year dragged on. Spring changed to summer and summer into autumn, days and problems were repeated in weary monotony. The few people I came in contact with were as displaced as myself. There were several, out of the Party like myself, who were struggling to find their way back to the world of reality. One was being psychoanalyzed and several were drinking themselves into numbed hopelessness.”

“More than once I wondered why I should go on living. I had no drive to make money. When I did make some, I paid creditors or gave it away. I paid the persons who pressed me hardest. Sometimes I went to visit members of my family, my brothers and their children. But from these visits I returned more desolate than ever. I had lost my family; there was no returning.”

“Every morning and every evening I walked along Sixth Avenue and Forty-second Street. I came to know the characters who congregated around there, the petty thieves, the pickpockets, the prostitutes, the small gamblers, and the sharp-faced, greedy little men. I, too, was one of the rejected.”

Judge Christopher Columbus McGrath
[b. at New York, New York on May 15, 1902 - d. at New York, New York on July 7, 1986]

Judge Christopher C. McGrath is the 2nd from the Right

“Early in the fall of 1950 I went to Washington to argue an immigration appeal. I had planned to return to New York immediately afterward. It was a clear, crisp day, and I walked along Pennsylvania Avenue toward the Capitol. Near the House Office Building I ran into an old friend, Christopher McGrath, the congressional representative of the Twenty-seventh District, the old East Bronx area of my childhood. I had not seen him for more than a year. When I last saw him he had taken me to lunch and given me some advice. He greeted me warmly and invited me to his office. I was happy to go with him.”

“There I found Rose, his secretary, whom I had known. When we were in his private office he said abruptly: ‘You look harassed and disturbed, Bella. Isn’t there something I can do for you?’”

“I felt a lump in my throat. I found myself telling him how much he had helped me the day he had taken me to lunch, and how good it had been to talk about my mother to someone who had known her.”

“I recalled how strange that luncheon visit had been. For the first time in many years and in a noisy restaurant in Manhattan someone had talked to me reverently about God. The people I had known in my adult life had sworn in the name of God or had repeated sophisticated jokes on religion, but none had talked of God as a living personal Reality.”

“He asked me if I wanted FBI protection, and I must have shivered noticeably. Though I was afraid, I was reluctant to live that kind of life. He did not press the issue. Instead, he said: ‘I know you are facing danger, but if you won’t have that protection, I can only pray for your safety.’”

“He looked at me for a moment as if he wanted to say something else. Then he asked: ‘Bella, would you like to see a priest?’”

“Startled by the question, I was amazed at the intensity with which I answered, ‘Yes, I would.’”

“‘Perhaps we can reach Monsignor Sheen at Catholic University,’ he said. Rose put in several calls and an appointment was made for me late that evening at the Monsignor’s home.”

“I was silent as we drove to Chevy Chase. All the canards against the Catholic Church which I had heard and tolerated, which even by my silence I had approved, were threatening the tiny flame of longing for faith within me. I thought of many things on that ride, of the word ‘fascist,’ used over and over by the communist press in describing the role of the Church in the Spanish Civil War. I also thought of the word ‘Inquisition’ so skillfully used on all occasions. Other terms came to me — reactionary, totalitarian, dogmatic, old-fashioned. For years they had been used to engender fear and hatred in people like me.”

“A thousand fears assailed me. Would he insist that I talk to the FBI? Would he insist that I testify? Would he make me write articles? Would he see me at all? And then before my mind’s eye flashed the cover of a communist pamphlet on which was a communist extending a hand to a Catholic worker. The pamphlet was a reprint of a speech by the French Communist leader Thorez and it flattered the workers by not attacking their religion. It skillfully undermined the hierarchy in the pattern of the usual communist attempt to drive a wedge between the Catholic and his priest.”

“By what right, I thought, was I seeking the help of someone I had helped revile, even if only by my silence? How dared I come to a representative of that hierarchy?”

“The screeching of the brakes brought me back to reality. We had arrived, and my friend was wishing me luck as I got out of the car. I rang the doorbell and was ushered into a small room. While I waited, the struggle within me began again. Had there been an easy exit I would have run out, but in the midst of my turmoil Monsignor Fulton Sheen walked into the room, his silver cross gleaming, a warm smile in his eyes.”

“He held out his hand as he crossed the room. ‘Doctor, I’m glad you’ve come,’ he said. His voice and his eyes had a welcome which I had not expected, and it caught me unaware. I started to thank him for letting me come but I realized that the words which came did not make sense. I began to cry, and heard my own voice repeating over and over and with agony, ‘They say I am against the Negro.’ That accusation in the Party resolution had made me suffer more than all the other vilification and 1, who had for years been regarded as a hard Communist, wept as I felt the sting anew.”

“Monsignor Sheen put his hand on my shoulder to comfort me. ‘Don’t worry,’ he said. ‘This thing will pass,’ and he led me gently to a little chapel. We both knelt before a statue of Our Lady. I don’t remember praying, but I do remember that the battle within me ceased, my tears were dried, and I was conscious of stillness and peace.”

“When we left the chapel Monsignor Sheen gave me a rosary. ‘I will be going to New York next winter,’ he said. ‘Come to me and I’ll give you instructions in the Faith’”  (Dr. Bella V. Dodd, Autobiography: “School of Darkness”, Chapter 16).

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
[b. Peter John Sheen at El Paso, Illinois on Wednesday, May 8, 1895 -
d. at New York, New York on Sunday, December 9, 1979]

On Tuesday, August 5, 1952 she publicly announced that several months before then, on Monday, April 7, 1952, she had been received back into the Roman Catholic Church. Not being able to secure her Baptismal certificate from Italy after inquiry, she was Conditionally Baptized (sub-conditione) by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York City.

She writes about this saying:

“Easter of 1952 was approaching and Bishop Sheen said that I was ready. I had no baptismal record and a letter of inquiry to the town in Italy where I was born produced none, though I was reasonably certain I had been baptized. So it was decided I was to receive conditional baptism.”

“On April 7th, the anniversary of my mother’s birthday, I was baptized by Bishop Sheen at the font in St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Mary Riley and Louis Pagnucco stood on either side of me. Godfrey Schmidt and a few other friends were with me too”  (Dr. Bella V. Dodd, Autobiography:  “School of Darkness”, Chapter 17).

After her defection from the Communist Party in 1949, she revealed that one of her jobs, as a Communist agent, was to encourage young radicals to enter Roman Catholic Seminaries. She claims that before she had left the Communist Party in the U.S., she had encouraged 1,100 young radicals to infiltrate Roman Catholic Seminaries and Religious Orders:

She says:

“In the 1930’s, we put eleven hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the Church from within. The idea was for these men to be ordained, and then climb the ladder of influence and authority as Monsignors and Bishops”.

Dr. Alice von Hildebrand
[b. Alice Jourdain at Brussels, Belgium on Sunday, March 11, 1923 - Present]

Dr. Bella Dodd told her friend, Dr. Alice von Hildebrand, the theologian, that:

“When she was an active party member, she had dealt with no fewer than four cardinals within the Vatican who were working for us, [i.e. the Communist Party]” (Christian Order magazine, “The Church in Crisis”, reprinted from The Latin Mass magazine).

Dr. Bella Dodd also gave voluminous testimony on the Communist infiltration of the Roman Catholic Church and in the United States government before the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950’s.

Fordham University

In a lecture at Fordham University during that time, Dr. Dodd unveiled what would seem to be an uncanny prophecy of future chaos in the Church.

Speaking as a former high ranking official of the American Communist Party, in 1950, a dozen years before Synod Vatican 2, Dr. Dodd said in part:

“In the 1930’s we put eleven hundred men into the priesthood in order to destroy the [Roman Catholic] Church from within.”

The idea was for these men to be Ordained and progress to positions of influence and authority as Monsignors and Bishops.

“Right now they [the Communist infiltrators] are in the highest places in the Church” where they are  working to bring about CHANGE in order to weaken the Church’s effectiveness against Communism.

She also said that these CHANGES would be so drastic that:

“You will not recognize the Catholic Church.”

Dr. Dodd was very concerned about these things.  Her position was that the fight against Communism must be done in the school and in the churches as found in her testimony on this subject:

“Mr. Clardy. Would you not agree that while this committee has a proper duty and function in exposing the machinations of the Communist Party and letting people see how it functions and what it will do to them, would you say that the real battle against communism has got to be carried on in two fronts, one in the school and the other in the churches?

Dr. Dodd. That is right. Those two are very important” (Dr. Dodd’s Testimony on Monday, November 16, 1953, to the United States House of Representatives, Subcommittee of the Committee on Un- American Activities, Philadelphia, Pa., Public hearing; answer to the question of Mr. Clardy).

Unfortunately, at this same time, the Communists were getting more extensive control in the Roman Catholic Church so that nothing of any real significance was ever done in the West since that time by the Roman Catholic Church in the battle against Communism.

Therefore, is it any wonder that Synod Vatican 2 was packed with Freemasons, Communists, Modernists, and Satanists attending this anti-Catholic CONVENTION??!!

Brother Joseph Natale O.S.B., Founder of Most Holy Family Monastery, was present at one of Dr. Bella Dodd's lectures in the early 1950's.

He relates:

“I listened to that woman for four hours and she had my hair standing on end. Everything she said has been fulfilled to the letter. You would think she was the world's greatest prophet, but she was no prophet. She was merely exposing the step-by-step battle plan of Communist subversion of the Catholic Church.”

“She explained that of all the world's religions, the Catholic Church was the only one feared by the Communists, for it was its only effective opponent. Back then, she said: “Right now they are in the highest places in the Church.”

“They are working to bring about change in order that the Catholic Church would not be effective against Communism . . . that these changes would be so drastic that “you will not recognize the Catholic Church.” The whole idea was to destroy, not the institution of the Church, but rather the Faith of the people, and even use the institution of the Church, if possible, to destroy the Faith through the promotion of a pseudo-religion — something that resembled Catholicism but was not the real thing.”

“The whole idea was to destroy, not the institution of the Church, but rather the Faith of the people, and even use the institution of the Church, if possible, to destroy the Faith through the promotion of a pseudo-religion — something that resembled Catholicism but was not the real thing.”

“This would be necessary in order to shame Church leaders into an “openness to the world”, and to a more flexible attitude toward all religions and philosophies. The Communists would then exploit this openness in order to undermine the Church.”

Brother Joseph Natale O.S.B. is a real person, in case anyone has any doubts about him?  Brother Joseph was trained at St. Vincent’s Benedictine Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.  St. Vincent’s Archabbey was the largest Benedictine monastery in the United States.  In the 1960’s, Brother Joseph left with the permission of the then Archabbot Dennis Strittmatter to start his own Benedictine community.

Shortly after leaving St. Vincent’s, Brother Joseph started his Benedictine community in Southern New Jersey.  Brother Joseph never allowed the NEW Mass to be celebrated at his monastery, only allowing the traditional Roman Rite Mass.

Brother Joseph printed, distributed and sold numerous books, pamphlets and audio tapes defending the Catholic faith and educating Catholics about the true teachings of Catholicism.  Brother Joseph Natale, O.S.B. died on Saturday, November 11, 1995.  R.I.P.

The New York Times ran a front page article entitled “Bella Dodd Asserts Reds Got Presidential Advisory Posts”  reporting that she “swore before the Senate Internal Security subcommittee today that Communists had got into many legislative offices of Congress and into a number of groups advising the President of the United States” (The New York Times, Wednesday, March 11 1953, C. P. Trussell, “Bella Dodd Asserts Reds Got Presidential Advisory Posts”).

The New York Times reported that Bella Dodd:

“..warned yesterday that the materialistic philosophy, which she said was now guiding public education, would eventually demoralize the nation” (The New York Times, Monday, March 8 1954, “Bella Dodd Assails Materialism In U.S.”).

Dr. Bella Dodd states in her book that the Communist Party’s structure:

“was in reality a device to control the common man” (Dr. Bella Dodd, “School of Darkness”, published in 1954, chapter 16).

Douglas Arnold Hyde

Douglas Arnold Hyde
[b. at Worthing , Sussex, England on April 8, 1911
d. at Kingston Upon Thames, England on September 19, 1996]

Ex-Communist and celebrated Roman Catholic convert, Douglas Hyde, revealed long ago that in the 1930’s the Communist leadership issued a worldwide directive about infiltrating the Roman Catholic Church.
 

I Believed The Autobiography of a Former British Communist   Douglas Hyde   William Heinemann London, Melbourne, Toronto

William Heinemann, London, Melbourne, Toronto, 1950  Edition
 

Catholic Book Club
1952  Edition

In 1950 Douglas Hyde published “I Believed”, an autobiographical account of the journey of his Wife, Carol, and himself from Communism to Catholicism.

He was a member of the Communist Party, working as news editor on the “Daily Worker” - the largest Communist publication in Britain -  until 1948, when he converted to Catholicism and resigned.

After his resignation, he published his autobiography, I Believed. The Autobiography of a Former British Communist.  He also wrote a book, Dedication and Leadership, about his experiences and the specific tactics of the Communists especially in the way that they recruited their members and built them into leaders

His loss of faith in Communism originated from his reading of the “Weekly Review”, originally with a view to searching out evidence of fascism and anti-semitism in leading Catholic figures.

Hyde explains it this way:

“One day, reading the Weekly Review, a thought struck me which was so obvious as to be almost laughably so. Yet it was so opposed to all I had held for so long that it cast doubts upon almost all my thinking to date.”

“For twenty years I had been troubled by the evidence of the unequal distribution of wealth and the social injustices which appeared to flow from it. I had reasoned: ‘The unequal distribution of property [used here in the sense of ‘means of production’] gives rise to great social injustice. Therefore private property is wrong and should be abolished.’ Millions have reasoned along similar lines. It has influenced an entire generation.”

“Now suddenly the slipshod character of such pre-fabricated thought struck me between the eyes. The maldistribution of property did not necessarily prove that private property was wrong in itself. If it proved anything at all it was surely that its distribution was wrong and that a means must therefore be found to spread it more evenly over the population as a whole. The formulation should have been: ‘The unequal distribution of property gives rise to great social injustice. Therefore property should be more equitably distributed.’”

“It had hitherto seemed axiomatic that those who revolted against inequality should turn to Marxism for a solution and that those who stood for the perpetuation of inequalities and injustices should oppose communism as a consequence. That there could possibly be a solution which was not a Marxist one had hardly occurred to me.”

Carol and Douglas Hyde:

“...found it difficult to accept the existence of God intellectually. We had quite sincerely believed that we knew all the answers without Him. Dialectical materialism had explained to our satisfaction, the whole universe for us; like Nietzsche it had proclaimed that ‘God is dead’ and we had believed it and felt it to be true.”

“For us He had been dead for years. We had appeared to get on alright without Him. We had been aware of the existence of no inner life, of no spiritual needs. Our communism had been our whole life. When doubts had come about the policies of the Party, about its methods, even about the desirability of its goal, they did not necessarily and immediately undermine our dialectical materialism nor prove that it must, therefore, be wrong.”

“Even the exciting realisation that the culture of the Middle Ages which I had loved for so long was still alive, and that it was a Catholic culture which had not died with the Reformation, did not prove the existence of God, although it helped. Belief in God might be but the product of a certain stage of man’s historical development, surviving into a later period along with the rest of the ‘ideological superstructure’ that went with it. That superstructure of the Middle Ages might be attractive, it might include a great outpouring of human genius in terms of magnificent churches and cathedrals, glorious music, works of art which took one’s breath away, literature which gripped as nothing else could – and still not prove that God was alive or even necessary as an explanation for it all, even though faith in God had been its inspiration.”

“But that phase had passed. We had come to accept the intellectual case for God, to see that without it not only Catholicism but the universe itself made nonsense. We had discovered with some surprise that the great thinkers and philosophers of the Church had made out a better case for the God’s existence than Marx and Engels had done for His non-existence.”

“Yet we realised that that was not enough. Belief meant being able to feel the existence of the spiritual, to know about Him. Christians even said they loved Him, they talked to Him and listened to Him. That was still outside our experience and, in moments of depression, we feared that it would remain so.”

“Yet all paths seemed to lead to Rome. I was asked to review Avro Manhattan’s book, The Catholic Church against the Twentieth Century, along with a pamphlet by the Rev. Stanley Evans. The first was a large book set out to prove, by means of telling the story of Vatican policies since World War I, that the Catholic Church was fascist.”

“The other had much the same intention, attempting to show that the Church was against all ‘progress’. Once, I should have had great fun with them, using them to smear catholics and fascists at one and the same time. I tried to do the same now, failed and hated myself for even attempting it. It was a last desperate attempt to salvage the way of life I had loved. It failed completely.”

“Instead I found myself saying: ‘The Catholic Church against the twentieth century? So what? So am I, if the twentieth century means the crazy world I see about me which has endured two world wars and goodness knows how many revolutions already, and with the war clouds gathering so soon after the last war.]”

“Against the twentieth century? Against the century of the atom bomb? Against a world right off the rails? Against those beliefs which lead to people persecuting men like Archbishop Stepinac and preparing a Red Terror against the Slovak peasants? Against the crazy post-war conditions right here in Britain? Why not? So am I.”

“Instead of gaining ammunition against the Church from Manhattan’s book, I learned, despite the tendentious writing, something of the Church’s social teaching. It was written to make anti-Catholics. It helped to make me ‘pro’ instead.”

“The Anglican Stanley Evans I knew already and I knew his type of parson-cum-communist-sympathiser well enough. The Party uses such people, but it rarely respects them. I had used such types myself. I read his pamphlet with distaste. He wanted to show that the Church was opposed to ‘progress’ everywhere. And again, so what? It all depended on what you meant by ‘progress’.”

“Was Nagasaki progress? When the story, one of a vast number which make such things normal to newspaper life, came over the tape machine about a boy of eighteen sent to jail by a London court for theft and described as living on the immoral earnings of his twenty-year-old divorceé wife, was that progress?...Were the preparations now going forward in Hungary for the persecution of the Church and suppression of the religion of the vast majority of the people there progress? Was it progress for our generation more and more to move away from the idea of the worth of the individual to that of the impersonal masses?”

“And in any case was it really so certain as we had imagined it to be that the world must inevitably ‘progress’, that the past was necessarily less good than the present and still less so than the future? Must the new always, automatically, be superior to the old?”

“Somewhere I had seen a reactionary described as one who, finding himself on the edge of a precipice, sees the danger and steps back in time. On the basis of that definition I was a reactionary. And again, so what?”

“Perhaps in one of life’s grand Chestertonian paradoxes, the ‘progressives’ were really the ‘reactionaries’ – in the light of their own definition of the term – and those who saw the danger and drew back might yet be the ‘progressives’, possessing a new solution which was really the oldest of all. The line of thought those two anti-Catholic publications set in motion helped me along my road to Rome.”

Mr. Hyde wrote the following concerning September, 1946:

“Members of the Political Bureau [of the Communist Party] who had been to Czechoslovakia had been told that it was believed that the fight against the Church could be carried through without too much difficulty in the Czech lands, so strong had the Part become there. But the Slovak Catholics, they were told, were much more completely in the grip of the priests and bishops, and ‘special measures’ would be required. At a Daily Worker executive meeting we were told that those special measures would probably have to take the form of armed action at some point. Sooner or later the catholic peasants could be provoked into violence, some incident would be presented as the intended forerunner of armed insurrection and tough counter-measures would then provide the chance for conducting the thorough-going purge which was required. A bit of terror would soon settle them.”

“Again, I should almost certainly have approved and justified such schemes before I began to read and think along Christian lines. Now I was filled with an uneasiness which at times amounted to revulsion as I heard it all explained. It was not communism but I that had changed, but I now found the application of our theories and tactics clashing with all I felt to be right.”

“But that was just it. I was beginning to say that some things were right and some were wrong. I was judging communist behaviour on the basis of ethics and not expediency – a thoroughly un-Marxist thing to do.”

“It was still not always a fully conscious process, but I became increasingly aware of what was happening and found myself viewing it from outside myself as it were, an interested and often astonished spectator of my own mental and spiritual processes.”

“Thus, for example, in a break between editions, one of my reporters, son of a well-known author, who had worked on the Yugoslav Youth Railway, was describing some of the things he had seen.”

“He told how at communist meetings the local populace would be brought to gather to hear a speech from Tito, or from one of the other communist leaders. At pre-arranged points during the speech Party members in the crowd would start to chant ‘Tito, Tito,’ or maybe ‘Tito, Stalin, Tito, Stalin,’ and the crowd would take it up, repeating the names over and over again. It was a technique used by Mussolini and Hitler and was now being turned to good account in the cause of communism.”

“He went on to describe how, when he had turned up at one such meeting, the word had gone around that an English comrade was present and they had quickly switched to ‘Tito, Stalin, Harry Pollitt [General Secretary of the British Communist Party], which they had kept up for an astonishing length of time. My reporters laughed uproariously at the story. Suddenly I realised that I was making myself conspicuous by not laughing at all; instead I was feeling utterly disgusted.”

“It was not sufficient now to tell myself that the end justified the means. Once a Marxist begins to differentiate between right and wrong, just and unjust, good and bad, to think in terms of spiritual values, the worst has happened so far as his Marxism is concerned.”

Manning R. Johnson

Manning R. Johnson
[b.  ?  - d.  in ?  An alleged "coroner's report" claims Manning Johnson died from a coronary condition]

Manning R. Johnson was the Communist candidate for U.S. Representative from New York 22nd District, 1935; he subsequently left the party, wrote Color, Communism, and Common Sense, and was an government witness in the perjury trial of Harry Bridges and before the Committee on Un-American Activities.

Manning Johnson belonged to the Communist party in the 1940s and early 50s, during which time he authored the book Color, Communism and Common Sense.

After leaving the Party, he testified in 1953 before the House un-American Activities Committee regarding the Communist Agenda and the Catholic Church:

"Once the tactic of infiltration of religious organizations was set by the Kremlin ... the Communists discovered that the destruction of religion could proceed much faster through infiltration of the (Catholic) Church by Communists operating within the Church itself. The Communist leadership in the United States realized that the infiltration tactic in this country would have to adapt itself to American conditions (Europe also had its cells) and the religious make-up peculiar to this country. In the earliest stages it was determined that with only small forces available to them, it would be necessary to concentrate Communist agents in the seminaries. The practical conclusion drawn by the Red leaders was that these institutions would make it possible for a small Communist minority to influence the ideology of future clergymen in the paths conducive to Communist purposes This policy of infiltrating seminaries was successful beyond even our Communist expectations."

U.S. Protestant Clergymen Supported Communism in 1953

Communists did not only target the Roman Catholic Church, but Protestant churches as well.

For example:

“On June 18, 1953, Senator McCarthy announced the appointment of J. B. Matthews as the new staff director. A former Methodist minister and Marxist turned anti-Communist, Matthews had previously served as staff director of the House Un-American Activities Committee.  Matthews had a reputation as an able administrator, but the chairman had failed to consult with minority party senators on the subcommittee before making the selection, at a time when committee staffs were considered to be nonpartisan professionals who worked for both the majority and minority. Displeasure mounted when Matthews’s article Reds and Our Churches appeared in the July issue of American Mercury, asserting that ‘The largest single group supporting the Communist apparatus in the United States is composed of Protestant clergymen’’ (Executive Sessions of the Senate, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Government Operations, Volume 2, Eighty-Third Congress, First Session, 1953, Special Meeting, Editor’s Note, page 1399).

Joseph Brown Matthews, Sr. [b. at Hopkinsville, Kentucky on Thursday, June 28, 1894 - d. at New York, New York on Saturday, July 16, 1966].  This former Methodist minister and ex Communist was a Lecturer, the author of anti-Communist articles, a Speaker before Federal and state committees investigating Communism, and a Consultant for John A. Clements Associates - the Hearst public relations firm.  He was the chief investigator for the Martin Dies, Jr. House Committee on Un-American Activities ("The Matthews Story", TIME magazine, August 10, 1953).

U.S. Communist Propaganda
Concentrated on Schools, Churches and Children

Communist ‘‘operation propaganda’’ concentrated on schools, churches and children.

For example:

“Mr. SURINE. Mr. Hawkins, did this witness [a secret FBI witness] turn over to you a document concerning that meeting?

Mr. HAWKINS. Yes, he did.

Mr. SURINE. On December 4, 1952?

Mr. HAWKINS. Yes,

Mr. SURINE. I wonder if you could read that into the record? Describe what the document is?

Mr. HAWKINS. The document lists five points listing the instructions and information that was given out at this Communist party meeting on December 4, 1952.

The CHAIRMAN. That will be inserted in the record. We will withhold any further testimony from Mr. Hawkins.

Mr. COHN. Delete the name of the witness from that statement....

III. Actual ‘‘operation propaganda’’ is concentrating upon school, churches and children...  (Executive Sessions of the Senate, Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Government Operations, Volume 2, Eighty-Third Congress, First Session, 1953, Testimony of Herbert S. Hawkins, page 1375).

Admitted Communist Infiltrator - "Archbishop" Stanislaw Wielgus

Admitted Communist Infiltrator - "Archbishop" Stanislaw Wielgus
 

Admitted Communist Infiltrator - "Archbishop" Stanislaw Wielgus

Communist Infiltrator, "Father" Mieczyslaw Malinski

In January of 2007, it was announced by the Polish Roman Catholic Episcopate that it would disclose documents connecting priests and bishops with Poland’s Communist regime. One of those to be investigated was archbishop Stanislaw Wielgus, who admitted his connections with the Communist security police after twenty years of spying on fellow clerics and nonconformists.

In 2005, Rev. Mieczyslaw Malinski, (a close associate of John Paul II [Yes, it is true that Pope JP-2, as he liked to call himself, has also been suspected of being a Communist Infiltrator!]), was also discovered to have worked for the S.B. in the 1980's, along with several other Communist priests.

Marie-Julie Jahenny is 100% correct again!

This helps to explain why:

Marie-Julie Jahenny speaks of a “horrible religion” which would replace the Roman Catholic Church.

Marie-Julie Jahenny saw “many, many bishops” embracing this “sacrilegious, infamous religion”.

Marie-Julie Jahenny is 100% correct again!

This  “horrible religion” which would replace the Roman Catholic Church.

The “many, many bishops” she saw embracing this “sacrilegious, infamous religion” is the Satanic Vatican 2 church which was “birthed” by the Communist, Freemasonic, Modernist, Satanic Infiltrators, including those “four cardinals within the Vatican who were working for” the Communist Party, not to mention those “eleven hundred men [i.e. Communists she put] into the priesthood in order to destroy the [Roman Catholic] Church from within!"

The “many, many bishops” Marie-Julie Jahenny saw embracing this “sacrilegious, infamous religion” were the “three thousand good-for-nothings” who took part in the “sinister farce” known as Synod Vatican 2!!!

How did Synod Vatican 2 come about?  It was done by the 2nd Pope, John 23rd.

2nd Pope John 23rd
Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli
[Tuesday, October 28, 1958 - Monday, June 3, 1963].

Cardinal Roncalli (future 2nd John 23rd)
Receiving Cardinal's Red Biretta from Vincent Auriol

Vincent Auriol was a notorious atheist and a notorious anti-clerical socialist (Alden Hatch, A Man Named John, NY, NY. Hawthorn Books Inc., 1963, p. 121). Therefore, when Roncalli became a member of the College of Cardinals, it was not only a contradiction, but also a sacrilegious oxymoron for Roncalli to have insisted upon receiving the red hat from the said Vincent Auriol, President of France (The Making of the Pope, London, England: A. S. Barnes and Company, 1962, p. 127) whom Roncalli had earlier described as “an honest socialist”.

So, because of his insistence, the Heresy of Modernism suspect - Roncalli - knelt before the notorious anti-Catholic Vincent Auriol whose hypocrisy in putting the Cardinal’s red biretta on the head of Roncalli was furthered when he hung a:

“broad red ribbon around the Cardinal’s neck embracing him on each cheek with a little bear-hug that imparted personal warmth to formal protocol”(Alden Hatch, A Man Named John, NY, NY. Hawthorn Books Inc., 1963, p. 123).

This ceremony took place in the French Elysee Palace.  Overcome by emotion, hypocrite Auriol had to wipe away tears from his face after Cardinal Roncalli left to assume his new dignity as a “Cardinal.”(Kurt Klinger, A Pope Laughs, Stories of John XXIII, NY, NY., Holt, Rinehart and Winston,1964, p. 99).

2nd Pope John 23rd

1958 - Shortly after Cardinal Roncalli became the 2nd Pope John 23rd, he visited one of the Vatican Congregations and requested his personnel file to find out why a routine promotion had been delayed for many years.  It turns out that for many years the Holy Office had maintained a dossier on Angelo Roncalli (the future 2nd Pope John 23) which read “suspected of Modernism”.

His dossier went all the way back to 1925, when Roncalli, who was infamous for his unorthodox teachings, was abruptly removed from his Professorship at the Lateran Seminary in mid-semester because he was accused of the Heresy of Modernism and unceremoniously sent to Bulgaria which resulted in the beginning of diplomatic political career. The Vatican was also concerned about his long-standing close association with the defrocked priest, Ernesto Buonaiuti, who had been excommunicated for heresy in 1926 (Lawrence Elliott, I Will Be Called John, 1973, pp. 90-92.)

Sunday, January 25, 1959, in the Basilica of St. Paul-Outside-the-Walls,
2nd Pope John 23rd Announced he would Convene an Ecumenical Council

Sunday, January 25, 1959 - 2nd Pope John 23, a person the Holy Office suspected of the Heresy of Modernism, in speaking to the College of Cardinals at a prayer service to close the week of prayer for Christian unity in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, publicly summoned Synod Vatican 2, the greatest Ecclesiastical, Religious and Spiritual disaster of the 20th Century.

Monday, July 25, 1960 - 2nd Pope John 23 issued his 1st Missal and Breviary in which he changed the rubrics of the Missal and the Breviary.  His NEW Missal and Breviary became obligatory to use on January 1, 1961.

3rd Set of Major Changes to the Missal Since 1944

The First Missal of the 2nd Pope John 23rd, Monday, July 25, 1960.

2nd Pope John 23rd, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli [Tuesday, October 28, 1958 - Monday, June 3, 1963], issued his First Missal, a.k.a the First Missal of the 2nd Pope John 23, on the Feast Day of the Holy Apostle and Martyr, Saint James the Greater, Monday, July 25, 1960.  Next month, Sunday, July 25, 2010, will be the 50th anniversary of this anti-Catholic attack on the Holy Sacrifice of the Catholic Mass.

Please note that even the Vatican itself has identified this First Missal of the 2nd Pope John 23rd as a "New Roman... Missal" which is to be found in the Vatican listing of the Apostolic Letters of 2nd John 23rd on the official Vatican website at:

1. We command that, beginning on the first day of January of next year, 1961, all those who follow the Roman rite shall observe the new code of rubrics of the Roman breviary and missal arranged under three headings - "General Rubrics," "General Rubrics of the Roman Breviary," and "General Rubrics of the Roman Missal" - to be published shortly by our Sacred Congregation of Rites. As for those who observe some other Latin rite, they are bound to conform as soon as possible both to the new code of rubrics and to the calendar, in all those things which are not strictly proper to their own rite...

4. The publishers of liturgical books who are duly approved by the Holy See may prepare new editions of the Roman breviary and missal arranged according to the new code of rubrics. In order to insure the necessary uniformity of the new editions, however, the Sacred Congregation of Rites shall issue special instructions....

Now let those things which we have decreed and established by this letter, given of our own accord, be considered as ratified and confirmed, anything to the contrary notwithstanding, including that which is worthy of special and individual mention.
