Bp.
Fellay rejects founder's view in favor of political correctness
Now comes the great divide for SSPX concerning
Judaism "Now comes the Great Divide in the
Roman Catholic Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), not between Bishop Richard
Williamson and Bishop Bernard Fellay, but between the SSPX founded by
Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and Fellay.
"This 'antisemitism' canard is used as a Pavlovian instrument of
auto-suppression to taint any critical study of Judaism. The SSPX
rejects antisemitism, Bishop Fellay says.Fine! But what does that have
to do with the issues at hand? Is it 'antisemitic' to ask if Judaic
persons were gassed to death in Auschwitz? Are these gassing allegations
now holy Catholic writ, a new gospel? Where is the forensic
documentation that St. Edith Stein was 'gassed' in Auschwitz-Birkenau?
How is it that one hates 'semites,' if one dares to ask questions about
secular history?
"To what extent has the religion of Judaism for gentiles, that some of
us refer to as Holocaustianity, supplanted the religion of Jews and
gentiles known as Christianity? To what extent is Holocaustianity used
to occlude the history of Judeo-Bolshevism’s mass murder of millions of
Christians in Russia and Eastern Europe? These distinctions do not
concern Bishop Fellay. He defends against the charge of 'antisemitism'
with the broadest strokes of crude generalities, as if the Patriarch
Abraham and the Apostle Paul were all partisans of Zionism, liberalism
and the Allied history of World War II.
"Why is the statement from Pope Pius XI, 'Spiritually we are all
semites,' supposed to be some ultimate means for shaming into silence
critics of the Talmud, and persons who question Judaic tales of
homicidal gassings in Auschwitz? When we dare to ask such questions in
the face of rabbinic and Vatican outrage, we are fulfilling our rights
as Christians and the imperative bequeathed to us by St. Paul himself:
'Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn
from the truth' (Titus 1:14)."
SPECIAL
REPORT The Chair Is Still Empty: A Response to the Alleged “Errors of
Sedevacantism” by John Salza "On July 15, 2010,
The Remnant
published an article
by Milwaukee-based Mr. John Salza, J.D., critiquing the theological
position known as sedevacantism (from the Latin
sede vacante,
'the chair being empty'), which basically holds that the claimants to
the papal throne after the death of Pope Pius XII on October 9, 1958,
are illegitimate and not true Popes at all, and that the church of which
John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI have
been the heads is not the Catholic Church of our Lord Jesus Christ but a
modernist institution masquerading as the Catholic Church, with the
ultimate aim to eradicate true, traditional Catholicism from the face of
the earth in order to lead souls to hell.…
"That sedevacantism should be attacked openly and at some length is a
good sign, actually, for it shows that, more and more, people recognize
it as the true position, and so it is becoming a threat to the
pseudo-traditionalist establishment, whose comfortable “have your Pope
and beat him” stance is falling apart as the apostasy in Rome and over
the world rages on, all to the detriment of souls. People are starting
to realize that the good tree of the Catholic Church is incapable of
producing the evil fruits of the Novus Ordo Church, and that Catholic
theology does not allow for lower clerics or even laymen to act as the
theological baby-sitters or doctrinal watchdogs of the Pope, who is the
highest teaching authority in the Church, and whose teachings demand, in
and of themselves, our complete assent, usually under pain of mortal
sin, even if they are not proposed under conditions of infallibility.
The “Pope” of the “recognize-and-resist” crowd is nothing but a sorry
mockery of the true Catholic papacy, for he is reduced to an essentially
meaningless pseudo-shepherd whose teachings, laws, and canonizations are
sifted at will by self-appointed Denzinger-thumping clergy and laity.
"It is ironic, therefore, that people who espouse this nonsensical
position should accuse sedevacantists of adhering to a “non-Catholic”
stance—but contradiction and absurdity are really the hallmark of the
semi-traditionalists at
The Remnant, The Fatima Crusader, Catholic Family News,
etc.…"

A new sellout as Benedict XII looks for 'ecumenical' focusVatican, Lutherans planning joint declaration on the 'Reformation'"According to the Vatican official on ecumenism, the Church and the World Lutheran Federation are preparing
a Joint Declaration on the Reformation, in view of the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's 95 Theses. Cardinal
Kurt Koch, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, announced this in an interview with
the German Catholic agency KNA.
"In this context, Vatican Radio reported Monday that Benedict XVI wants his Sept. 22-25 trip to Germany to have an ecumenical focus.
The Catholic-Lutheran document will 'analyze the Reformation in the light of 2,000 years of Christianity,' noted Vatican Radio."
NOW Comments:
Is this a capitulation of sorts? Well, consider that the interview with "Cardinal" Koch, calls for "a mutual mea culpa" and "a common purification of the memory", as
though the Catholic Church needs to apologize because it stood its ground against the revolution initiated by Martin Luther. Let us not forget the ominous words
of Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, when he warned in 1937, two years before his election as Pope Pius XII, of how "I hear all around me innovators who wish to…make
Her (the Church) feel remorse for Her historical past." (emphasis added And of course the every same breed of innovators were able to seize
control of the Church after the death of the same Pius XII and have been insulting the glorious memory of the Church's past with a steady stream of
impious apologies to the Church's
Meanwhile Madrid's World Youth Day does exactly that!
Vatican official: Do not oversexualize John Paul’s theology of the body"The secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Family is cautioning Catholics against making an oversexualized interpretation
of Blessed John Paul II’s theology of the body–a series of catechetical addresses delivered at Wednesday general audiences
between 1979 and 1984.
"Calling the series of audiences a 'very, very important doctrinal corpus,' (no pun intended? - NOW) Bishop Jean Laffitte told the
Catholic News Agency that the series is properly entitled the 'Catechesis on Human Love.'”
PHOTO: Different city. Different year. Different theme. Same scandals. Immodestly dressed women, standing but a few feet away
on either side of the "Popemobile", greet John Paul II as he rides through the streets of Toronto for the 2002 World Youth Day.
A five-minute, French-language video (Warning: Immodest dress) from the event shows numerous such examples, including unisex
clothing and, particularly telling, shortly after the 1:05 mark, which begins the section on the official welcoming of John Paul II, we see
a number of young people bearing a cross up to the "altar" area where he is sitting―one of those at the very front is a teenaged girl dressed in a skirt that only goes halfway down to her
knees and has a slit in the side. The "Marian Pope" therefore had golden opportunity to literally stop immodest dress in its tracks by stopping this procession from going forward, and by
addressing those assembled about the vital importance of Marylike fashions and how immodesty invariably leads to impurity if left unchecked. That he said not a word about it speaks
volumes.
NOW Comments:
Here is a great example of Modernist Rome's propensity for doubletalk. At around the same time this statement was being issued, Benedict XVI was attending the
World Youth Day in Madrid. The widespread immodest dress, the pop/rock music, the lax, "bumming around" atmosphere, and the open displays of intimacy by couples at WYDs,
through the years it's been called everything from a "Catholic Woodstock" to a "Papal slumber party". (A friend of Novus Ordo Watch has related to us how he was living in Rome at the
time of the 2000 WYD and observed how many young people, during a speech by John Paul II, ignored him, opting instead to talk, play Frisbee, and in some cases, "make out".) Yet for
all of this no prior WYDs ever was described like Madrid 2011 event: a ‘sacred’ brothel. Even the Novus Ordo Stations of the Cross that were conducted were seriously lacking any
reference to need to fight personal sins, especially two that are so prevalent with young people and which lead more souls to Hell than any other: immodesty and impurity. Naturally, like
his predecessor poseur at the Vatican, Benedict XVI did not address these evils but furthered the cause of the Cult of Man. In the end, the Vatican's pronouncement was just so many
empty words, not that John Paul's theology of the body ought be even mentioned in any form, much less taught, save for mention in any work condemning the errors of Vatican II and the
pseudo-Catholic sect it engendered.
Call them talks, call them negotiations, call them doctrinal
discussions, but however one chooses to characterize the ongoing
meetings between Modernist Rome and the Society of St. Pius X, it's safe
to say that the leaders of the SSPX are playing a dangerous game, one
they
cannot hope to win and one that can only have the potential of placing
thousands upon thousands of souls directly in harm's way.
Recently, Bp. Williamson has warned against such meetings, but in a way
that can only serve to confuse his readers. He likens the meetings to a
Trojan Horse tactic, but puts a uniquely Williamsonian spin on the term
(one that must be seen to be believed!) that in its own way is just as dangerous as the
talks themselves.

Consultant for U.S. 'Bishops' is keynote speaker at pro-pedophilia conference
"Dr. Fred Berlin, a chief consultant for decades to the American Catholic Bishops and Religious Order Provincials
on sex offender priests, will address tomorrow in Baltimore a controversial symposium sponsored by an organization
that calls itself 'B4U-ACT.' B4U-ACT advocates the decriminalization and tolerance of persons who have a lifelong
attraction and desire for sexual contact with youngsters. B4U-ACT, when describing its core values states:
'Individuals who are attracted to children are the focus of everything that we do.'
'Not surprisingly, Archbishop Emeritus Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, in a deposition taken in 2008, cites Berlin as
the chief expert on pedophilia that the U.S. bishops consulted when faced with the growing sexual abuse crisis.
(Locally, Berlin was also hired by at least one major religious order, the Capuchin Franciscans.)"
PHOTO: Former Los Angeles "priest"
Michael Wempe, who in 2006 admitted
through his attorney to having sexually abused 13 boys,
was later convicted for yet another molestation and sentenced to three years in
prison. If
B4U-ACT has
it's way, the Wempes of
the world will be free to abuse to their darkened hearts' content.
NOW Comments:
Those who are inclined to scoff at the idea that the activities of
pedophiles could ever be decriminalized had better pull their heads out
of the sands and do with haste. It was a mere forty years ago the United
States was under culture siege by pro-homosexual terrorists seeking
decriminalization and toleration for "same sex" deviants, and exact the
same tactics were used then that are being used now. One of the initial
battering rams used to break down the resistance of Americans to such an
agenda was the enlistment of members of the psychiatric community to
argue that homosexuality should no longer be considered a mental
disorder (note that by then the nation's opinion shapers had already
conditioned the public perception by convincing many Americans that
sodomy wasn't a
sin,
but merely something to be treated by psychiatry.
The propaganda
campaign simultaneously attempted to convince people that it was
backward thinking to ostracize "gays" (the new euphemism coined for
pedophiles is
"minor-attracted persons"),
and that those who did so were guilty of a newly-invented sin,
"homophobia". This is real evidence of the "slippery slope" that
liberals have always scoffed at: first adultery was decriminalized, then
same-sex deviancy and now the momentum's moving forward toward this
deviancy. It does seem appropriate that a USCCB consultant be the
featured speaker; after all, decriminalizing sexual child abuse would
save the "bishops" millions and millions of dollars.

Comments:
The source cited here by Dr.
Mattei merely as"Mons.
Borromeo" is most assuredly
Luigi Carlo Borromeo (1893-1975), who in 1952 was made
Bishop of Pesaro by Pope Pius XII, and who was a Council Father at
all four sessions of Vatican II. There are few
commentators on the Council who described what was happening as
cogently and with as
much precision as Bp. Borromeo does in this passage, and what makes
it all the more amazing is his words words were written less than
two months after Vatican II's opening.
"Today’s Modernism…wants the whole Church to find itself modernist
without even noticing it.…"
Yes, precisely! Much as the world is going Communist without even
noticing it.

AUDIO CLASSIC Time to check your Catholic pulse! Fr. Francis Fenton: An urgent appeal for the faithful to stand up and fight the good fight
It has been over a decade since Fr. Francis Fenton STL (1918-1995) went to his eternal reward. As one of the most stirring Catholic
speakers of the 20th century (it is no exaggeration to compare him with such Bp. Fulton Sheen―before Sheen fell off deep end and
went Novus Ordo―and Fr. Charles Coughlin) and an equally gifted writer, Fr. Fenton warned about infiltration in Church as early as
the 1960s.
The speech linked here was given in 1986, and while certain details have changed concerning the tactics of the International
Communist Conspiracy, the overall profile is surely as relevant today as it was back then, perhaps even more so. Fr. Fenton's
warning that the United States well may fall to Communism if there isn't a major change in the the zeal of the faithful now seems
prophetic.
Father speaks to today's Catholics with all the forcefulness that was directed to his audience decades ago, and the need for today's
Catholics to wake out of their lethargy is now even more urgent. For this reason Novus Ordo Watch is creating a Fr. Fentonsection to our Resources Pageand will
be adding to it. We urge our readers to see that his vital message is heard far and wide.*
Excerpt: "So help me, I see more dedication to physical fitness in the jogger panting along the highway than
I see dedication to the cause of Christ and His Church in the average traditional Catholic. And I see more
enthusiasm for, say, this or that professional football team than I observe in the large majority of traditional
Catholics for the preservation and the propagation of the Faith.
"This is simply unpardonable at any time, but especially in this our day when the enemies of God and Church
are themselves so dedicated to their satanic cause, and have been so eminently successful thus far in their
subversion of religion.…
"Truly, the devil and his cohorts are winning the day, because of the apathy and passivity of good people. Evil is
in the driver's seat because those who have the truth and who profess to be on God's side, refuse to fight.…

The
enthronement of syncretism
How the 1986 Assisi prayer day subverted the Catholic Faith
"In one of the most shameful scandals of history, in
the Church of St. Peter in Assisi, the Dalai Lama and his coreligionists
placed a statue of Buddha over the Tabernacle on the altar. A
Benedictine priest protested this abomination, and was removed from the
scene by the police. We quote the commentary on this incident from
Quo Vadis, Petre?:
"'The Old Testament relates how one of the kings, Manasses, committed
the crime of placing an idol in the Temple of the Lord (4 Kg. 21: 7; 2
Par. 33: 7). God punished this action with the destruction of Jerusalem by the Assyrians (4 Kg. 21: 10-15; Dan. 12: 11). Various Scripture
commentators have held that this sacrilege of Manasses
gave origin to the expression 'the abomination of the desolation
installed itself in the Holy Place,' a phrase employed in Holy
Scripture. How can one not compare this event from the Old Testament
with the
enthronement of a statue of Buddha over the Tabernacle of a
Catholic Church in Assisi?'”
NOW Comments:
Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what
participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath
light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or
what part hath the faithful with the unbeliever? And what agreement
hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the
living God; as God saith: I will dwell in them, and walk among them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [17]
Wherefore, Go out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing: And I will receive you; and I
will be a Father to you; and you shall be my sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Cor. 6: 14-18)
Lyle J. Arnold, Jr., in the first paragraph of the above-linked article,
states: "The 1986 Assisi 'World Day of Prayer for Peace' needs no
introduction to Catholics, whether of the progressivist left, the
center, or false right. Also those who are militants of the
Counter-revolutionary remnant, (the true right), know well what Assisi
means." Considering that this appears on the Tradition in Action
website, which grudgingly acknowledges the Conciliar "Popes" to be true
Pontiffs and which therefore condemns the belief that the Chair of St.
Peter currently is without a valid occupant, it is quite reasonable to
infer that the "false right" mentioned includes sedevacantists.
We, therefore, challenge Mr. Arnold and others who hold to the same
view, to explain just why the Assisi gathering isn't a very manifest act of not just
heresy, but
apostasy.
Just the abomination that occurred at the Church of St. Peter (photo,
right) alone
would quality, and it's a
major indictment
of "Blessed" John Paul II that despite this being an international
scandal in which a monk was
arrested(!)
after standing up for Christ, the "Pope" did not condemn it at the time
it occurred nor at any time over the subsequent near two decades he would live.
(Qui tacet consentire videtur―literally,
"He who keeps silent is assumed to consent",
and in this case,
toconsent to
an act of apostasy).
Likewise worthy of the apostasy label was John Paul's very convoking of
the whole shameful affair, for far from using the gathering as an
opportunity to call them out of their false religions to accept Christ,
he reinforced their errors by encouraging them to pray to their false
gods (demons) for peace, as if such entreaties (being raised up to the
very malevolent beings who are the underlying cause for so much of world's strife!) could
possibly be efficacious. (And please, let's not hear the ridiculously
shallow argument that there was no apostasy because the religions all
prayed separately, for a group prayer merely would have added to the
offense.)
As it stands, Assisi represents an interreligious event whose
fundamental feature was its Christ-negating religious indifferentism, a
denial of the unique mission of the Catholic Church. Be not
deceived, for God Almighty has on many occasions made it abundantly
clear just how we are to regard the prayers of the heathens to their
devil gods (see, for example, the very different
non-ecumenical
"prayer meeting" the Prophet Elias had with the priests of Baal that is
recorded in
3 Kings 18: 16-46).
No true Pope would ever organize such a lie as did John Paul II, who
proclaimed this in what ostensibly was his official capacity (not
as a private person), for to do so would be a complete rejection of his
duty as successor to preserve the Faith and fight against the forces of
darkness. For Mr. Arnold and others of like persuasion to suggest that a
true pontiff could do such a thing and yet retain his office shows a
woefully distorted perception of the papacy, as it implicitly holds that
one may lose the Faith yet hang onto the Chair, a view that has been
rejected by at least three Doctors of the Church (St. Alphonsus de
Liguori, St. Francis de Sales and St. Robert Bellarmine) or a notion
just as wrong-headed and repellant: that a Pope could oversee such an
gathering of Christ deniers.
P.S. Earlier this year, the Vatican announced that Benedict XVI would be
hosting
another such meeting,
scheduled to take place on October 27, which will commemorate the 25th anniversary
of the 1986 gathering,. Conservative defenders of the alleged "friend of
Tradition" are quick to point out that he had been critical in the past
concerning the first Assisi prayer get-together, but if he was correct
then in his criticism, it only makes him wrong now and adds to his
culpability, since he had known better and still deviated from the path
of truth as part of an effort to honor his predecessor. Further, they
attempt to assure us that this year's event, called “Pilgrims of Truth, Pilgrims of Peace”
(or informally, Assisi III, as a second was held in 2002), will be
"different" from the earlier incarnations and that's something we're supposed to be happy about.
Well, it turns out the only thing that's going to be much different is
in addition to the non-Catholic Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists,
Hindus, animists, etc., returning from past meetings,
atheists
have been invited to the "new and improved" Assisi.
(Presumably, that will mean not just the commingling of Novus Ordo
prayers with those to offered up to the likes of Buddha, Krishna, the
Great Thumb, etc., but with petitions to the pantheon of unbelievers'
"saints", including Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, the Marquis de Sade,
Joseph Stalin, Margaret Sanger, Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould, Mao
Zedong, Friedrich Nietzsche, Madalyn Murray O'Hair, Che Guevara, John
Lennon, Marlene Dietrich, Charlie Chaplin, Frank Zappa, George Carlin,
and Gene Roddenberry, to name a few!)
Now,
that's
a real
one-size-fits-all "prayer"
gathering!

phrase in reference to the very same Joseph Ratzinger – New

easy to understand why a man who is a lawyer by profession should habitually
write in a rhetorically-persuasive style, desiring to get his readership to
agree with his position, it is nonetheless not tolerable that a position
should be allowed to continue to be put forth that has been clearly refuted.
"In the case
under consideration here, the individual definitively refuting Ferrara’s

there is still some great future fulfillment to the Third Secret of Fatima,

An enemy within the gates
The Pope of the Council: John XXIII and Masonry
"If John XXIII interrupted the chain of
condemnations and excommunications accumulated
by all of his predecessors in being silent on
Masonry, it cannot however be said that he was
neutral on this subject. According to the
experts’ unanimous consensus, it is under his
pontificate that was begun the volte face,
and that for the first time dialogue was opened.
We present the evidence: Dupuy, the Grand Master
of the Grand Lodge of France, declared that
'John XXIII and Vatican II provided formidable
impetus to the task of clarification, and to
reciprocal détente in the relations between the
Church and Masonry.'
"Léon de Poncins, Freemasonry’s great enemy,
wrote: 'The campaign of rapprochement between
Freemasonry and the Church remained in a latent
state under Pius XII’s pontificate; the fire
burned under the ashes, but the progressivists
who had seized considerable influence realized
that their efforts had no chance of coming to
the fore with Pius XII…With the arrival of John
XXIII, there was an explosion…One had the
impression of there really being an
international campaign, methodically
orchestrated…'"
"These latter days have
witnessed a notable increase in the number of
the enemies of the Cross of Christ, who, by arts
entirely new and full of deceit, are striving to
destroy the vital energy of the Church, and, as
far as in them lies, utterly to subvert the very

Successful 'beyond even our communist expectations'
The Communist infiltration/subversion of the Catholic
Church “Bishop
Fulton Sheen, auxiliary bishop of New York while giving a discourse at
Saint Susanna of Rome revealed that in 1936 the American Communists
recruited some agentsfor infiltrating the religious communities
to destroy them from within. An appeal was made for volunteers to become
priests and study in the seminaries.…
"'The whole idea', revealed former Communist and Catholic convert Bella
Dodd, '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.'"

Images of 'gay' torture
porn found on disgraced
Canadian 'bishop's'
computer
"The child pornography
on Catholic bishop
Raymond Lahey’s computer
was a smaller and less
graphic collection than
some other child porn
collections, one of his
lawyers suggested during
his sentencing hearing
Thursday.
"Ottawa
police Det. Andrew
Thompson agreed with
defense lawyer Solomon
Friedman that the 588
images on Lahey’s laptop
computer were fewer than
some other collections
he’s examined in his six
years investigating
child pornography.
Thompson was a lot less
willing to agree that
the collection wasn’t as
graphic, however.
"Images involving the
torture of young boys
was 'right up there'
with some of the worst
stuff he’s seen,
Thompson said. 'It
doesn’t depict infants,
but the explicit images
of torture are
disturbing,” said
Thompson, who called
some of the images
'quite graphic.'
"Thompson added that he
rarely had seen
offenders who had not
only pictures and
videos, but also
sexually explicit
stories. And Lahey was
the first to seemingly
have a reference to
himself in one of his
tales — or so the
mention of a “Father
Raymond” in one of the
stories would make it
seem.…"
NOW Comments:
We suspect that these
revelations may be the
tip of the iceberg.
Lahey's guilty plea may
simply be a ploy to
dodge prosecution for
more far serious charges.
It's safe to say that
unless death intervenes
we haven't heard the end
of the Lahey scandal,
and it is our firm
conviction that should
the whole truth ever be
known it will be
revealed that Lahey, who
in 2009 agreed to a $15M
settlement with the
victims of "pedophile
priests", will prove to
be one of the worst
offenders of all!
And with him it would be
pedophile in the
strict sense, as his
laptop contained images
of boys who appeared to
be only eight or ten
years old. One article
states that "since 2005
Bishop Lahey traveled to
Indonesia Malaysia,
Thailand, Spain and
Germany. These are
countries that are
notorious when it comes
to child pornography."
That's undoubtedly
looking at this all
wrong . Lahey wasn't
jetting to the Far East
to just view porn (if at
all), since he could
just as easily done so
from the comfort of his
own easy chair; rather,
we believe he flew
halfway around the world
to find a ready outlet
to satisfy his sexual
proclivities in
countries where
child prostitution
is a lucrative business
protected by corrupt
government and law
enforcement officials on
the take.
In the end, it may turn
out that the only
difference between
Raymond Lahey and most
other clergy abusers in
the counterfeit church
is that he had the guile
to seek victims where
there would be no
multi-million dollar
settlements, because
it's where there would
be no one to hear or
care about their
tortured cries.

youths are expected to gather for the World Youth Day (WYD) around the
Pope Benedict XVI. Is there any better way to liven up the streets than
using these large streamers with the Vatican’s color-scheme? Open your
windows to celebrate! Welcome Pope Benedict!
NOW Comments:
There's an urge to call this an apt metaphor for the Conciliar antipopes
and the whole rotten Novus Ordo establishment, and while it's one that's
wholly justifiable in a sense, there is still something very disturbing
about it that goes way beyond that. We need to keep firmly in mind that
this product is taking the color scheme of the Vatican flag, one that
has a legitimate history as
a symbol of the Catholic Church
going back well before its total misappropriation by the Vatican II
church. It's difficult not to read
anything
but malice behind Renova's marketing toilet paper as streamers in what
is purportedly a Catholic event. The website Tradition in Action sums
this up well:
Were we in pre-Vatican II times, Catholics would have taken such an
initiative as offense against the Papacy, inspired by Freemasonry
and Judaism. They would raised up with indignation to stop this
outrageous undertaking, especially in Catholic Spain. Today,
accustomed to the corrupted moral ambience of the WYDs, even the
most conservative among them laugh and pass it off as only a
slightly inconvenient homage. (See
‘Papal’ toilet paper - A new WYD symbol?)
While it might
seem preferable to just dismiss this as sheer senselessness on the
company's part (it does specialize in trendy designer products, after
all), when the following aspects of of this promotion are considered,
that benign interpretation becomes well nigh impossible to maintain.
Consider first that despite the tie-in with World Youth Day touting a
festive function to "liven the streets", it is still found in the
toilet paper section
of Renova's website. That the company has no problem if some among the
projected one million attendees of WYD decide to make
conventional use
of the product (as many undoubtedly will) is underscored by one of the
features listed on that webpage: "Tested under dermatological control",
hardly a point necessary to mention if it was only to be used as a
streamer.
But then again, why did Renova elect to manufacture toilet paper to be
used for streamers in the first place? For one thing,
crepe
is the most often used material for streamers, so why use a substance
possessing far less tensile strength, not to mention one that has
perforations between each of the 140 sheets per pack, thus further
weakening it? Renova could have easily come up with something that would
be more durability had it made the effort, considering that it boasts a
wide range of paper products, including paper towels. In the end, the
notion that a manufacturer would deliberately come out with a product
mocking religion,
while outwardly appearing to
support
it, is highly repellant, but it's the unmistakable conclusion to be
drawn when a personal hygiene item―and a lowly one, at that―is to be
used in such a way.
The psychological effect of this is to further distort and cheapen the
perception of countless youngsters on the subject of religion. However
contemptible the behavior of Renova in this regard, there are other
groups deserving of an even sterner censure: the WYD organizing
committee that though it was a good idea to make Renova an official
supporter of the event, and ultimately, Modernist Rome for not vetoing
such a wretched idea!
NOW Comments:
It's foolish for us to believe Benedict XVI will speak out like a
true shepherd of souls and condemn this blasphemy. Why say that? Well,
if he didn't so much as make a peep when
this abomination,
which drew international outrage, was exhibited in Vienna's diocesan
museum, the likelihood of him expressing his displeasure this time is
highly unlikely (anyone care to make a bet?).
Just
call it 'inculturation' 'Catholic' dictator Chavez seeks cancer
aid from indigenous 'deities'
"President Hugo Chavez told a gathering of soldiers
on Thursday that he's seeking divine support from the indigenous deities
and spirits of Venezuela's central plains to help him survive cancer.…
"Chavez often describes himself as a devout Roman Catholic, although his
religious beliefs are eclectic. The former paratroop commander says his
unorthodox religious doctrines are rooted in his upbringing in Los
Llanos, Venezuela's sun-baked plains region.…
"The Roman Catholic Church considers the religions and their respective
rituals idolatrous. But the clergy have come to tolerate them, partly
because they have flourished and cut across racial groups and class
lines.…The president spent a week in Cuba last month for his first round
of chemotherapy."
NOW Comments:
No,
the true Catholic Church, and not the counterfeit one run by Benedict
XVI to which Marxist dictator Chavez (shown above left with his Cuban
mentor and counterpart, Fidel Castro) is a member, wouldn't tolerate the
involvement of Catholics in idolatrous religions for an instant,
regardless of whether or not they were "flourishing". Why? Simply
because such an act is blatant
apostasy
in seeking the intercession of false gods (demons). Don't hold your
breath for an excommunication; after all, it would be bad form to punish
him for turning to some of the same false gods whose worshippers will
have their honored place at Assisi III in a couple of months, courtesy
of that noted "friend of tradition", Benedict XVI (but friend of
what
tradition?!).
"The debate began with Cardinal Kurt Koch, the president of the
Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, referred to the Cross as 'the
permanent and universal Yom Kippur.' Rabbi Di Segni strongly objected,
saying that the cardinal's statement trivialized the meaning of the Yom
Kippur that Jews still observe.'"
'Russia
will spread her errors'
Communist Party USA endorses Obama
reelection bid
"It may be early in the campaign season, but the Communist Party USA
already has seen fit to endorse Barack Obama for the 2012 election.
"While noting he is disappointed with 'some aspects' of the Obama
administration's domestic and foreign policy, Sam Webb, chairman of the
Communist Party USA, threw his support behind Obama's re-election bid.…
"Wrote Webb: 'Neither party is anti-capitalist, but they aren't
identical either. Differences exist at the levels of policy and social
composition. And despite the many frustrations of the past two years,
the election of Barack Obama was historic and gave space to struggle for
a people's agenda.'" (Click

Plea
for modesty in church good, but doesn't go nearly far enough
'Mexican 'archbishop' urges appropriate
attire when in church
“The Archbishop of León, Mexico, is calling on
Catholics to dress modestly at Mass."'If you have any respect for this
place (a church),
dress appropriately,' Archbishop José Guadalupe Martin Rabago told
reporters after Mass on July 24.
'Criticism of the archbishop’s comments came after local newspapers
featured photos of posters at some parishes in León that said, 'Respect
God’s house. Don’t come dressed like this.' The posters said women
should not come to church dressed in miniskirts, sleeveless shirts, or
low-cut blouses.
"According to the newspaper Correo, the archbishop said women
ought to know what they should wear and when. 'They know that for a
wedding or a quinceañera they should dress one way, and for a trip to
the beach they should dress another.…'” [PHOTO: The seer of Lourdes, St.
Bernadette Soubirous, is shown here dressed as would have been when she
was singularly blessed by apparitions of the Mother of Our Savior at the
grotto.]
NOW Comments:
Here's an instance where some praise is in order for a Novus Ordo
leader, because there is crying need for modesty of dress in all walks
of life―even
at a "new Mass", because false worship is bad enough without immodest dress
added onto it―to stem the neo-pagan tide of revealing clothing that
plagues societies around the world, dragging them into the mud.
However, the problem here is that he apparently (we haven't seen his
quotes in their entirety) doesn't take what he says to the logical
conclusion, which is that "miniskirts,
sleeveless shirts, or low-cut blouses" are not merely inappropriate for
church, but are
always sinful
whether worn publicly inside or outside of church (the sin is simply
compounded when in the context of a house of worship, because the
offense against God is a direct one, the woman showing she doesn't
remotely have the proper disposition and in some cases may, in fact, it
may be
an act of conscious, deliberate defiance against Him).
Another problem with what "Archbishop"
Rabago says is the suggestion that the way women
dress on beaches is appropriate, yet today the swimsuits seen most
frequently are bikinis, which are are nothing but enticements for men to
entertain sinful thoughts. The pre-Vatican II position of the Church was
perhaps best articulated by Cardinal Pla y
Daniel, Archbishop of Toledo, Spain, who in 1959 stated: "A special
danger to morals is represented by public bathing at beaches...Mixed
bathing between men and women, which is nearly always a proximate
occasion of sin and a scandal, must be avoided."
When it comes to modesty in dress, Pope Pius XII cut through the
sophistic arguments that favor attire conforming to the fashions of the day,
when he reminded the faithful that fixed standards apply in all cases: "There
always exists an absolute norm to be preserved."
26 abuse victims ended own lives
Suicide inquiry won't shed light: Aussie
bishop
"An independent inquiry into dozens of suicides among victims of child
sexual abuse by Catholic priests and brothers in Victoria would achieve
little, a Catholic bishop says. Police investigating the case of
convicted pedophile Brother Robert Best believe at least 26 victims of
sexual abuse at schools in which he taught have committed suicide. One
of the investigating officers wants a parliamentary inquiry to
investigate the deaths.
'''If it helps the victims I'd be more than happy for
it to go ahead,' Bishop of Ballarat Peter Connors said. 'I don't think
they'll learn very much more … I'm convinced we've done the best we can
in more recent years.'''
