Renowned theologian warned of dangers
The best council the Protestants ever had
Here's a g
ood
brief intro by John Vennari to a largely-forgotten, but
still vitally important article in the October '62 issue of
the American Ecclesiastical Review by its editor, the
renowned theologian Msgr. Joseph Clifford Fenton, on how
Vatican II could Fail. Msgr. Fenton was a Council peritus
(expert) and the advisor of Alfredo Cardinal
Ottaviani. Modernist Hans Küng grudgingly acknowledged how
Msgr. Fenton was one of Pope Pius XII's favorite American
theologians. (see Küng's memoirs: "My Struggle for
Freedom"). Directly or indirectly, he was one of the
"prophets of doom" ridiculed by John XXIII at the opening of
the Council.

Penn research points to the influence of non-Catholics on the changes
brought by Vatican II
"They (the University of Pennsylvania researchers) concluded that in places where the Roman Catholic Church enjoyed
a stable monopoly as the state church, religious leaders were almost
impervious to outside influence and opposed to most kinds of change. In
areas in which Catholicism was not the established faith but where the
religious field was stable, however, leaders of other religious
institutions were a crucial source of influence on Catholic bishops who
attended and voted at Vatican II."

'Death of Communism' update
Spies who look just like us (deported Russians not amateurs)
"The U.S. media is performing
a 'disservice' to the American people in the coverage of
recent espionage incidents and its portrayal of spying in
general, according to counter-intelligence expert
Christopher Simmons in a recent interview with International
News Analysis Today.
"Simmons is a Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves,
specializing in counter-intelligence operations. Before his
retirement from the Defense Intelligence Agency, Simmons was
deeply involved in the questioning of Ana Belen Montes, who
was a senior Pentagon analyst and one of Cuba's most
important master spies in the U.S.
"The recent case of the Russian spy ring broken by the FBI
is only the latest case of the disheartening failure of the
U.S. media to inform the American public as to what spies do
and the danger they pose to the security and survival of our
country.
"'The media minimized these people,' Simmons said. 'They
were not rogues, this was not a haphazard operation. They
followed standard SVR guidelines.' The SVR is Russia's
foreign intelligence service and one of the successors to
the Soviet Union's KGB."

This is just the latest in an ongoing series of clues pointing to the
pretended collapse of Communism in Russia. Make no mistake, this roundup
is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Communist spies (from
Russia, China and other "ex"-Communist countries) in the United States,
Canada and elsewhere, and they are vigorously helping to pave the way
for the eventual collapse of those nations. The background of the "death
of Communism" ruse can be extensively explored in the Novus Ordo Watch
Special Report, "
Exposing
the 'Communism is Dead' Myth,"
something that should not be overlooked when we recall our
Lady at Fatima telling us that "Russia will spread her
errors." At least a portion of that expansion of errors can
be attributed to the West dropping its guard in the face of
a "reformed" Russia.

Flashback
Ratzinger
vs. the Immaculate Heart of Mary
In the Vatican's "The
Message of Fatima" document that introduced the alleged "third
secret" of Fatima back in 2000, "Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger supplied
a theological commentary that raised many eyebrows by claiming,
among other things, that what was presented as the third secret was,
in fact, the authentic and entire (some questioned each of these
assertions) and that Sister Lucy's visions may have simply come from
illustrations in the devotional books she read.
But his most outrageous claim involved twisting a teaching of the
Church that touches proximately on a dogma: the
Immaculate Heart of Mary. In his commentary, Ratzinger discusses
devotion to the Immaculate Heart in this passage:
In biblical language, the “heart”
indicates the center of human life, the point where reason,
will, temperament and sensitivity converge, where the person
finds his unity and his interior orientation. According to
Matthew 5:8, the “immaculate heart” is a heart which, with
God's grace, has come to perfect interior unity and
therefore “sees God”.
There he cites a beatitude from the Sermon on the
Mount: Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
However to suggest "clean of heart" (which he calls the "immaculate
heart," using all under case) is somehow the equivalent of the
Immaculate Heart distorts
and diminishes
the meaning of the latter, which is directly tied to the
dogma of the Immaculate Conception and the Blessed Mother's sinlessness.
In typical Modernist fashion, Ratzinger deals with ambiguities, allowing
readers to believe that pure of heart is synonymous with the Immaculate
Heart. Such confusing of terms is something one would never see in an
official Church document prior to Vatican II; in point of fact, Pope
Pius VI expressly denounced such deceptive language as a stratagem of
heretics in his Apostolic Constitution,
Auctorem fidei.
Also
Ratzinger shows himself to be
thoroughly Modernist in the way he surrounds the heterodox
with the Catholic sentiment that Mary should be our model. All well and
good, but he does in no way use the opportunity to clearly distinguish
in kind between her Immaculate Heart and the sin-stained hearts of other
Christians, so the effect is rather that she, being Christ's Mother, may
have pride of place among us, but that is all, much the way Modernists
will say that the Catholic Church is better than the other religions,
but only because she possesses more of the truth, not because she
is the one true Church (for the Modernists believe them all to be
true religions).
John Vennari, noting a rhetorical shift by Ratzinger after he became
Benedict XVI, writes in Catholic Family News that:
Nearly two months after he became Pope,
…on June 5, 2005, Pope Benedict spoke more in line with the
Traditional devotion saying, “The heart that resembles that
of Christ more than any other is without doubt the Heart of
Mary, His Immaculate Mother, and for this very reason the
liturgy holds them up together for our veneration.” ("Pope
Resurrects Third Secret")
Certainly
this sounds "more in line" (as Vennari puts it) with Catholic
teaching, though it is still not one hundred percent clear; if
someone known for orthodoxy was to utter this, then there would
be no doubt, but given Ratzinger's track record, even the phrase
"Immaculate Mother" may be open to debate. If he'd wanted to
clear up the previous ambiguity by making a unequivocal
declaration of what he believes in this regard and a
renunciation of his previous error, this would have been a
golden opportunity, but the sad truth is that neither then nor
at any time since 2000 has done so.
Considering that the man had a doctoral thesis rejected as being
too Modernist just prior to his ordination (he merely took out
parts without changing his views, at the suggestion of a liberal
professor), that he was reasonably suspected of heresy by Pope
Pius XII's Holy Office, that he was among the chief
troublemakers at Vatican II and that he's publicly stated that
he still holds to the same radical beliefs he had at the
Council, Ratzinger should be given no slack whatsoever
when it comes to evaluating the orthodoxy of his views…or,
rather, lack thereof.

EWTN's friar makes a mess he can't clean up
Fr. Groeschel's absurd defense of Benedict XVI's 'ecumenism'
NOW Comments:
What's behind the confused views of Fr. Benedict Groeschel (right), a
real priest who was ordained in 1959? Is he a progressivist who had such
leanings prior to Vatican II or another sad case of a Catholic who
allowed his faith to be twisted as a result of the Council? In either
case, his wearing of a traditional Capuchin habit belies beliefs that
have strayed far from Tradition. At one point in the video, after going
through a partial list of Benedict's false "ecumenical" activities (but
one that ignores blatantly apostate acts, such as him
praying like a Muslim in Turkey's
Blue Mosque),
he asks: "Now does anybody think Pope Benedict is not a Catholic, that
he doesn't believe that the Catholic Church is the true religion?" Then
he quickly answers his own questions in a incredulous tone,
"Of course not."
Maybe Benedict is "Catholic" according to the definition used in the
sect to which Fr. Groeschel now adheres, but
that involves embracing the Modernist error condemned by Pope St. Pius
X: "All religions are to a greater or lesser extent good and
praiseworthy." One traditional Catholic writer has pointed out regarding
the connection between Modernism and the Vatican II position explicitly
expounded by John Paul II (and likewise held by Benedict XVI):
This is the natural child of the erroneous and blasphemous idea of
the foundation of religion which Modernists hold. Since all
religions are simply external expressions of the "consciousness" of
the age in which they exist, they are all, subjectively considered,
true (and there is no objective truth, remember). JPII has made this
idea the cornerstone of his "pontificate". It would be superfluous
to list the immense number of occasions on which he has outraged the
first Commandment by indulging in acts of public prayer and/or
worship with non-Catholics, pagans
and other non-Christians. He is faithful to Vatican II in this :
"...for the Spirit of Christ has not refrained from using (these
separated Churches) as means of salvation..." (See
The
Heresy of John Paul II)
Fr. Groeschel falls into a semantic trap when he asks if anyone thinks
Benedict denies that, "the Catholic Church is the true religion." Well,
yes, "Pope" Ratzinger may believe that the Catholic Church is
a
true religion, but certainly not the
one
true religion established by Christ for the salvation of souls, for if
he did so he would actively seek (like every true Pope in
history) to bring those in false religions out of their darkness into
the light of the true Church. Like the Modernist he's always been,
Ratzinger believes regarding the different faiths that false teaching
which was categoricallycondemned by St. Pius X; namely
that:
…every
religion, even that of paganism, must be held to be true. What is to
prevent such experiences from being found in any religion? In fact,
that they are so is maintained by not a few. On what grounds can
Modernists deny the truth of an experience affirmed by a follower of
Islam? Will they claim a monopoly of true experiences for Catholics
alone? Indeed, Modernists do not deny, but actually maintain, some
confusedly, others frankly, that all religions are true. That they
cannot feel otherwise is obvious. For on what ground, according to
their theories, could falsity be predicated of any religion
whatsoever? Certainly it would be either on account of the falsity
of the religious sense or on account of the falsity of the formula
pronounced by the mind. Now the religious sense, although it maybe
more perfect or less perfect, is always one and the same; and the
intellectual formula, in order to be true, has but to respond to the
religious sense and to the believer, whatever be the intellectual
capacity of the latter. In the conflict between different religions,
the most that Modernists can maintain is that the Catholic has more
truth because it is more vivid, and that it deserves with more
reason the name of Christian because it corresponds more fully with
the origins of Christianity. No one will find it unreasonable that
these consequences flow from the premises. But what is most amazing
is that there are Catholics and priests, who, We would fain believe,
abhor such enormities, and yet act as if they fully approved of
them. For they lavish such praise and bestow such public honor on
the teachers of these errors as to convey the belief that their
admiration is not meant merely for the persons, who are perhaps not
devoid of a certain merit, but rather for the sake of the errors
which these persons openly profess and which they do all in their
power to propagate. (Encyclical
Pascendi Dominici Gregis
[On the Doctrine of the Modernists] September 8, 1907)
In point
of fact, Fr. Groeschel actually is an unwitting witness to the very
faithlessness of these pseudo-Popes he confusedly upholds when he talks
approvingly of something Ratzinger uttered while meeting with the
leaders of false religions, saying: "…it
was extremely fascinating…the Pope used a word I have never heard a Pope
use in that context, a very simple word, the first person plural…we,
the pronoun. I never heard that before. I could never imagine a Pope
calling the religions of the world 'we.'" (Actually, his memory is a bit
faulty here as John Paul II―whom he clearly considers a Pope―also used the term in certain instances,
such as his interreligious extravaganza, the 1986 "World Day of Peace"
at Assisi.)
Well, we agree with him about not imagining a Pope to say such a thing,
because a true Pope never would! But nothing is more natural than for a
Modernist than to refer to all religions (which are held to be true) as
"we," since he sees them as all coming from God (or at least coming from
supposedly authentic religious experiences). No real Catholic would ever
use "we" in such a context, hence it is quite reasonable to say that
Benedict XVI is not Catholic (nor Pope), and likewise Fr. Groeschel is
not Catholic if he also adheres to the heresy.

Exposing
the liturgical revolution
Paul VI: To liberate the Mass of St. Pius V is to condemn Vatican II Paul VI: "Let us consider the liturgical reform. I will go
even farther. Not only we kept all the past, but we recovered the
source of the most ancient tradition, the most primitive, closer to
the origins. Now, this tradition had been darkened by the course of
the centuries, mostly in the Council of Trent." Jean Guitton: "It is hard not to unleash the feeling that
Trent has abandoned or rejected what existed before Trent, for
example, that the Trent Mass, there, where the Council insisted
about the sacrificial character of the Mass (which mystically renews
the sacrifice at the cross) was disguised by an anti-Lutheran
reaction, in which Luther was more in accordance with truth than the
Council, once Luther claimed to get back to the primitive source.…” Paul VI: “I recognize that the difference between Saint Pius
V liturgy, and the Council liturgy (often called, I don’t know why,
Paul VI Liturgy) is very small. Regarding the appearance, the
diversity [of the offertory of the two masses] lays on a subtlety.
But this Mass of Saint Pius V, as we see in Ecône (that is, in the
Society of St. Pius X), has become the symbol of the Council’s
condemnation. Now, we will never accept, under any circumstances,
that one condemns the Council by means of a symbol (emphasis
added)."

Well-known Novus Ordo dissident priest's rant goes viral “A

All the issues he raises are not that radical to many if not most in
the Conciliar Church: there is a strong push for married priests, a
sizeable majority believe/practice birth control, and the whole
Vatican II error of "collegiality" significantly minimizes the
concept of Papal primacy. And remember, there are Fr. Breen clones

"On January 29, the Catholic Mobilizing Network to End the Death Penalty

"The 'seamless garment' argument used by Clifton, of course, raises
questions about what those connected with the Catholic Mobilizing
Network will be saying about the pro-life position of politicians. As
everyone knows too well, this version of Catholic social teaching has
been used for more than four decades to provide cover for Catholic
politicians who do not oppose abortion."
NOW Comments:
John Paul II's teaching on capital punishment, alluded to in the
article, while not totally ruling out the use of execution, minimized
its legitimacy almost into non-existence and attacked it as cruel and
depriving the condemned the opportunity to reform (this last point
against the true Catholic teaching, which maintains that the death
sentence helps the condemned to sharply focus on the Four Last Things in
a way that many people never have). So, John Paul II's position (like so
many ambiguous Vatican II teachings) gives opposite sides of the issue
arguments to defend their position; in fact, the Catholic Mobilizing
Network actually quotes both JP II and Benedict XVI approvingly on
its website.

another 20 percent from one to three times a month, and another 30
percent on Christmas, Easter, and the other major feast days.

conclusion must be that Paul VI was not a true Pope but an anti-pope
because it it is impossible that a true Pope officially promulgate
errors and heresies in an ecumenical council since it will go against

The revolution besieging the Catholic
Church as a result of successful Modernist treachery that reached its
culmination at the Second Vatican Council has now entered a new
millennium and continues unimpeded in its destruction of souls. Despite
the much-ballyhooed "new springtime" for the Church, the stark reality
is not growth, but utter
decay wherever one looks. What
has emerged is a pseudo-Catholic Novus Ordo (Latin for "New
Order") religion where the
outer structures of the Church have been seized by men who long ago lost
the Faith (or in some cases, never had it), along with hirelings who
take a stand if it's fashionable and doesn't affect their
pensions. While that counterfeit religion retains trappings of
Catholicism, in substance it is as empty as its churches, seminaries and
convents.
The purpose of this "News and Analysis" page to show not only that the
destruction is both ongoing and global in its reach, but, even more
importantly, that Modernist Rome is complicit in the havoc and has,
through words and deeds that bespeak errors in morals and doctrine,
established a veritable counter-magisterium. Thus the admonition our
Lord cited at the top of the page is very apropos, indeed: "By their
fruits you shall know them."

the most that Modernists can maintain is that the Catholic has more
truth because it is more vivid, and that it deserves with more

admiration is not meant merely for the persons, who are perhaps not
devoid of a certain merit, but rather for the sake of the errors
which these persons openly profess and which they do all in their
power to propagate. (Encyclical
