Mary ChristMass and a Blessed New Year to all my dear readers!
Without your help and support this blog would not be possible. May the Infant Jesus bless you with every grace necessary for salvation and richly reward your generosity.May we all rejoice in the coming of the Lamb of God
The Perfect Lamb
No matter how many times I read this, I just cannot do it without getting chills all over me! I bet you didn’t know the following about the manger that Jesus was laid in. Of course mangers are animal feeding troughs but in ancient Israel they were made of stone – not what you would see in a modern-day nativity scene. Not comfortable, but great for protection. That’s why those who were experts in this matter, the priests, would put their newborn lambs in them for protection. But not just any lamb, the unblemished perfect lambs that were used in the sacrifice for sins. And Bethlehem, where Jesus was born was FAMOUS for their UNBLEMISHED LAMBS used for the sacrifice. These lambs had to be perfect so they would wrap them tightly in cloth and lie them in the manger to keep them safe. This is exactly why the only time mangers are mentioned in Jesus’ birth story it is being told to shepherds. In Luke 2 it says “This will be a sign for you, you will find a baby wrapped in [swaddling] clothes and lying in a manger.” The shepherds would have understood this powerful parallel! THEY KNEW what the cloth and the manger meant! This baby would be THE PERFECT LAMB OF GOD! The Messiah who would sacrifice His life for the sins of the whole world. He wasn’t just a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger, He was GOD: perfect, sinless and holy, humbling Himself to become the perfect sacrifice to reconcile us back to Himself!! THAT my friend, that Perfect Lamb, is WHY we celebrate Christmas!! ❤️ ✝️ (Posted by Pat Smith on Facebook)
Comment by Eathan Benns
The God-man, unblemished but in human form, — mortal, with feelings, emotion, pain and suffering. If a human was to endure what Christ endured, we wouldn’t have made it past the crowning of thorns far less the scourging! But God endured, for us dumb humans. If you have ever been amazed about the perseverance of war heroes such as Desmond Doss of Hacksaw Ridge or Louis Zamperini in Unbroken and multiply it indefinitely that equals a God’s suffering! If that doesn’t speak to you about the evils of this world nothing else will but His Mercy for us, His image and likeness, His Creation. All He asks is that we return to Him and be reunited and show forth a faint glimmer of His Son in our life’s work. The saints did so willingly in conditions much worse than the ones we’ve lived! We’ve no excuse
How many times have we deserved Hell and God has been merciful and spared us! because His mercy is everlasting! So this Christmas make a change in your life for Him. Offer yourself, your children by raising them right, or your wife, mother, father by showing your love from good works and sacrifice! What God gave us as the first gift of Christmas was more than mercy, more than redemption or salvation. He gave us an infant God that suffered from the moment of conception till His death on a Cross.

Introduction
Most Traditionalists assume the Great Monarch prophecies are of Catholic origin, since approved authors writing before 1958 seem to endorse these prophecies as genuine. But doctrine, not prophecy is the bedrock of belief; prophecy and private revelations are proposed for belief on human, not Catholic faith. In fact, Catholics need not even profess belief in revelations of this nature, even when they come from the mouths of saints, and in doing so they commit no sin. Even though a number of saints foresaw the advent of a Great Monarch, many alternate explanations can be offered for their various predictions. Some can be categorized as affected by political interpolations of the various time periods in which these saints lived. Others may easily apply to some other personage not accounted for by the one commenting on the prophecy. Theologians teach that a seer or “prophet” can incorrectly interpret a revelation from God or unintentionally misapply it. Mistakes can be made relaying the message and existing prejudices can affect the transmission of the message, interfering with its accuracy. Mistranslation and misquotation are not uncommon. And errors of the time may be reflected in the prophecy.
Anytime the specific interpretation of a prophecy of any kind interferes with the Church’s ordinary teaching, that prophecy is not to be trusted, Pope Benedict XIV says. To properly evaluate the Great Monarch prophecies, we must keep these exceptions foremost in our minds. The Protestant philosopher John Locke relates that the legend concerning the great monarch-holy pope alliance first began to circulate during the late Middle Ages both in France and Germany, independent of any then-existing “private prophecies.” (Later the visionary Michel Nostradamus popularized the Great Pope/Great King prophecies, possibly owing to his clandestine relations with Satanic members of the royal de Medici family.) Bonnie Prince Charlie’s efforts to regain the English throne and the periodic appearance of pretenders to the throne of France explain the popularity of the Great Monarch predictions.
The Teutonic knights, a German order modeled on the Templars is said to have secretly continued that order in conjunction with their English and French counterparts, the Knights Hospitaller. The Teutonic Knights admitted only racially pure Germans of noble ancestry and cultivated the Great Monarch legend to promote the belief that a long-awaited emperor from imperial Germany was destined to rule Europe. In a similar manner, a French secret society today known as the Priory of Sion was carefully guarding the ancient bloodlines of England and France with the help and approval of certain French prelates. The Priory used the romantic legends of King Arthur’s Court and the Holy Grail to conceal their work in wrappings appealing to the common man. It was these pseudo-Catholic prelates embroiled in the work of the Priory that Our Lady came to La Salette to warn us against.
Ancient history is filled with examples of the anticipation of savior kings allied with holy priests, both in pagan and pre-Christian literature. But it was the Israelites who in Christ’s time looked for a glorious earthly king and therefore rejected Him, even though he was of the Davidic line as Scripture foretold. This is because they preferred the “second Messiah” of their own understanding to the true Messiah sent by God. “For the Jews believed that Zacharias 1:20 foretold two Messiahs, one a suffering Messiah, descended from the tribe of Joseph, Elias and the priest Zadok, and the other a glorious messiah, son of David. The Chosen People of Christ’s time were a carnal people who had little use for suffering; they believed they already had suffered enough. They longed for a return to the time of the kings of earlier Israelitic centuries — not unlike the medievalism of the German people — and their leaders obliged them by creating a projection of a second Messiah to satisfy this longing. Therefore, they denied Christ as Eternal High Priest in favor of this earthly king yet to come.
The Priory and La Salette
In mentioning the Secret of La Salette above, some will point out that the seer Maximin gave a lengthy testimony regarding the Great Monarch. Maximin’s secret, that a Great Monarch will rule in the end times, was never published; he released it only to Pope Pius IX, and now it seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Easily influenced by others but always a fierce supporter of the apparition, Maximin obviously confided some details to an acquaintance with Monarchist convictions, who then published an unofficial version of the boy’s secret. Although Maximin strongly renounced this publication and forced its retraction, the secret was published as his own by many different commentators. Melanie’s secret was likewise embellished and misrepresented by her own confessor.
It is interesting that there appear to be connections between those who wrongfully published Maxmin’s secret and one of the key figures of the Priory of Sion, Abbe Berengar Sauniere of Rennes le-Chateau in the Pyrenees. Author Philip Coppens says that Sauniere and the founder of the Mariavite schism, the excommunicate Abbe Boullan, both Monarchists, were in contact with each other. Like Sauniere, Boullan had accumulated wealth that no one could quite account for. He was a follower of the Theosophist Madame Blavatsky and also frequented Rosicrucian circles according to Mgr. Cristiani. Boullan lived with a woman, Adele Chevalier, who was a former friend of Melanie Calvat’s.
Sauniere, Coppens relates, was very interested in the Secret of La Salette, as was Boullan. It is even rumored that Sauniere had an affair with a distant actor relative of Melanie Calvat’s. During this same time period another Monarchist, the alleged convert Leon Bloy (championed by Maritain, Montini’s close friend) also was a patron of these same circles. Bloy was obsessed with La Salette throughout his lifetime. Sauniere, Boullan and Bloy all frequented the (Priory) Chapel of San Sulpice; it is impossible to believe that they never connected with each other. Bloy’s curious fascination with La Salette is confirmed by the 1908 publication of his book, She Who Weeps, an anthology of his writings on the apparition. Despite the defense of his friends who swore to his orthodoxy, Mgr. Cristiani calls Bloy nothing less than a Satanist: for his writings reveal that he believed the Holy Ghost and Lucifer were one and the same. That no Great Monarch of a truly Catholic heritage has ever appeared can be explained by what the female La Salette seer Melanie said: that many things would come about only if morals improved and the people did penance. The same message was delivered at Fatima. Needless to say, no penance was done and morals only disintegrated.
Another item worth noting is that all those predicting a Great Monarch place him as ruling prior to the reign of Antichrist. This is evidenced in Rev. Holzhauser’s comments: “The Sixth Age of the Spirit commences with the powerful Monarch and the Holy Pontiff as previously mentioned and will last until the appearance of the Antichrist… Antichrist and his army will conquer Rome, kill the Pope and take the throne. He will restore the Turkish regime destroyed by the Great Monarch. The Jews, knowing from the Bible that Jerusalem will be the seat of the Messiah, will come from everywhere and accept Antichrist as the Messiah.”
Antichrist’s armies did conquer Rome and usurp the papacy, but it was a quiet and totally clandestine takeover. It was known however amongst the secret societies, who broadcast their triumph by popularizing Nero’s Cross, the well-known universal “peace” symbol. According to ancientsymbols.org, “Though the Cross of Nero became known as a peace symbol in the 1960s, it began as a mockery of the Christian Cross and a symbol of Christianity’s failure. [The Saracens in the early centuries A.D. emblazoned it on their shields.] The sign depicts a circle containing an inverted Cross with its anchor shattered, denoting Nero’s idea that world peace might be achieved without Christianity. The Dead Man’s Rune is another name for the emblem.” And of course, since St. Perter was crucified upside down, this also translates to the death of the papacy itself. The peace symbol was first advanced as such for the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1958.
All this was done to prepare the world for the usurpation of the Holy See and the final war to banish Christianity. By setting up a throne for Charles III in the Vatican, the Roman usurpers are preparing the way for the eventual reign of their version of Antichrist. But as has been stated here before, how could any version of the Man of Sin correspond to Scriptural prophecies today? Paul 6 undoubtedly accomplished all that Holy Scripture attributed to Antichrist. How destroy the Church and Catholic culture now? How dethrone a true pope and take away the true Latin Mass, not the ones falsely celebrated by LibTrad pseudo-clergy and some Novus Ordo outlets? By presenting as the high priest of an apostate religion, as will be seen below.
Should we assume, given the above, that the seers who predicted a Great Monarch were not reliable or that their message was deliberately corrupted? Not necessarily. We have said that the Great Monarch’s arrival was conditional, provided that Catholics performed sufficient prayer and penance, which was not the case. It also is possible that in seeing things as in a vision, some seers saw what appeared to be priests and bishops dressed in clerical garb functioning after the arrival of Antichrist, but who were not actually what they appeared to be. And the enemy used their prophecies to redirect Catholics into the “Traditionalist” sects and other channels. Meanwhile, Paul 6 reigned in Rome as the high priest of Zionism.
Paul 6: True champion of Zionism and false claims of antisemitism
It seems enough to point to the fact that Paul 6 publicly wore the Jewish High Priest’s Ephod or rationale (hanging between each side of Paul 6’s stole in this photo at left), to prove that he indeed was at least an agent or a secret son of some sort to those Jews working in concert with Freemasonry. Was he their Messiah? No one pretends to know Freemasonry’s secrets, but their pyramid boasts Antichrist as its pinnacle. That they considered him a sort of Jewish savior is clear from these links:
https://legallegacy.wordpress.com/2020/10/28/october-28-1965-pope-paul-vi-absolves-jews-of-collective-guilt-for-the-crucifixion-of-jesus-christ/; https://www.ajc.org/news/from-regret-to-acclaim-a-jewish-reaction-to-nostra-aetate; https://mysteriuminiquitatis-2thessalonians2.blogspot.com/2023/08/paul-vi-wearing-jewish-freemasonic.html
What is the significance of the ephod? The Biblehub site relates: “The ephod was a sacred vestment worn by the high priest… serving as a symbol of the high priest’s role as a mediator between God and the people. The ephod was fastened with a skillfully woven waistband and had two shoulder pieces, each set with an onyx stone engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. This design signified the high priest’s representation of the entire nation before God, bearing their names on his shoulders as he performed his duties (Exodus 28:12)… As the high priest wore the ephod, he acted as an intermediary between God and the Israelites, offering sacrifices and prayers on their behalf… In addition to its role in mediation, the ephod was also associated with divine guidance. The high priest used the ephod in conjunction with the Urim and Thummim, mysterious objects placed in the breastpiece of judgment, to discern God’s will in important matters (Exodus 28:30)… Beyond its immediate function, the ephod also appears in other biblical contexts, sometimes associated with idolatry or improper worship. For example, Gideon made an ephod that became a snare to him and his family (Judges 8:27). This misuse of the ephod serves as a cautionary tale about the potential for sacred symbols to be corrupted when removed from their intended purpose and divine instruction.
Paul 6, then, in wearing the ephod, officially announced to the Jews and those among the public who recognized its significance, the Judaization of what once was the Church and the direction of all its corrupted ceremonies and prayers to the benefit of the Jewish people. That it also signified the idolatrous nature of the Novus Ordo Missae at the same time indicates the extent of Montini’s wickedness and that of his fellow conspirators. Jewish officials flocked to Rome to consult with Roncalli and Montini during their time there. As Vicomte Leon de Poncins and many others have fully documented, John 23 and Paul 6 openly schemed with the Jews to so arrange and conduct Vatican 2 that the resulting remodeled “church” could in no way offend their beliefs. The oft-quoted 1966 article in Look magazine, How the Jews Changed Catholic Thinking offers clear testimony to this. The Jews demanded and received the removal of any reference to their guilt in Christ’s death, openly stated during Good Friday services. And it is no coincidence that they were assisted in their quest by none other than Pro Deo University’s Felix Morlion, arch-conspirator and champion of religious liberty.
As a result, the false Vatican 2 council taught that the Jews of yesterday and today, as a whole, cannot be blamed for Christ’s death and are not to be reviled or persecuted by Catholics — they intimated that this was only a reiteration of the teachings of Mit brenunder sorge and other papal documents. It is Paul 6’s insistence that the Jews not be considered as reprobate, i.e., incapable of salvation that compromised the faith. Already John 23 had removed reference to the “perfidious” (unbelieving) Jews in the Good Friday liturgy. Paul 6 strengthened this decision of his predecessor by further revisions, calling for the removal of any references to the “conversion of the Jews,” the existence of a “veil over their hearts” and the need for deliverance “from their darkness.” And this contrary to the commonly accepted interpretation of these Scriptural passages as indicative, at least, of the complicity of the Jewish elders in Christ’s crucifixion.
The primary author of Nostra Aetate, Gregory Baum, was a convert to Catholicism. His father was a Jewish professor, his mother a Protestant. He was ordained to the priesthood sometime in the 1950s and served as an advisor at the false Vatican 2 council. He later left the priesthood and married an ex-nun, all the while proclaiming his bi-sexuality. He was an early proponent of gay rights, (Wikipedia). In promulgating Nostra Aetate, Paul 6 inferred, contrary to the clear teaching of Holy Scripture and the Church for 2,000 years, THAT THE JEWS COULD ANTICIPATE SALVATION WITHOUT BENEFIT OF CONVERSION. This is a clear denial of Scriptural truth. Was he not then their Messiah, by “saving” them from their previous fate?! And certainly John Paul 2 strengthened this notion beyond the Jews’ fondest dreams.
All this is contrary to the truths of faith prescribed by Pope St. Pius X in his Oath Against Modernism which reads, in part: “With a firm faith I believe that the Church, guardian and mistress of the revealed word, was instituted proximately and directly by the true and historical Christ Himself, while He sojourned among us, and that the same was built upon Peter, the chief of the apostolic hierarchy, and his successors till the end of time… I accept sincerely the doctrine of faith transmitted from the apostles through the orthodox fathers, always in the same sense and interpretation, even to us…” And from the Council of Trent: “…No one who distorts the Sacred Scripture, according to his own opinions, shall dare to interpret the said Sacred Scriptures contrary to the sense which is held by holy mother Church, whose duty it is to judge regarding the true sense and interpretation of holy Scriptures, or even contrary to the unanimous consent of the Fathers…,” (DZ 786).
So not only did Paul 6 deny the clear words of Holy Scripture in his pronouncement on the Jews, he also broke with the unanimous opinion of the Fathers and the common and constant teaching of his predecessors, violating that “same sense and interpretation” ever maintained by the continual magisterium. He obliterated Tradition by altering the liturgy and its condemnation of the Jews, but then that paled in comparison to his abrogation of the Latin Mass. But we need not insist that Paul 6 be formally identified as the Jewish Messiah for the prophecies on Antichrist to be fulfilled. Rev. Denis Fahey in his The Kingship of Christ and Conversion of the Jewish Nation identifies this point as only probable, not certain. At least part of this point is fulfilled, however, for Fahey says the Jews will assist Antichrist in setting up his kingdom and certainly this was the case. A probable opinion is not binding on anyone. One, it is only an opinion; two, probability is measured in degrees. Acclamation as their actual Messiah would mean little, Fahey explains, since some 25 men have enjoyed this same distinction over the course of Jewish history. It seems then that even without an actual affirmation, Montini served them well in this role.
Conclusion
The Great Monarch prophecy certainly cannot be fulfilled by King Charles III. It was a conditional prophecy, a grace to be earned only by prayer, reformed morals and penance. But the Zionist goal of seizing the papacy for their own definitely was fulfilled in Montini, the restored high priest of Judaism. Those decrying Bibbi Netanyahu and Zionism, especially members of the Novus Ordo sect, are deluded if they believe the real enemy is any ruler of present-day Israel. The spiritual leader of Israel, the power behind the throne, continues to reign through his successors in Rome. He clearly told us who he was. Anyone seeing this who remains in the Novus Ordo or Traditionalist sects and oppose the aims of Zionism are complicit in the takeover of the Church for not speaking out. Anytime an apostate openly reveals himself as such and the source of his apostasy is not investigated and fully revealed, silence and a lack of due diligence imply consent. The first photo of Paul 6 above has been in existence since the late 1970s. It triggered all of our own research and conclusions.
So those condemning Zionism who present as Catholic, even though they may rightly link it to a worldwide conspiracy — to Freemasonry and the Illuminati — are guilty of obscuring the truth. They may not be fully aware of it or know it at all; they may know it and dismiss it as impossible or capable of a rational explanation. Most likely, if they dismiss it, they do so because they have bought the lie that the Church can never lose her hierarchy, even though the Church Herself has never taught this and Holy Scripture contradicts this false assumption. And that includes those who are exposing the conspiracy behind the assassination of Charlie Kirk and what has developed since his death in September.
The one thing about Kirk that has been missed altogether is the comments he made about Francis and Leo 14 before he died. He styled them as Marxists and unworthy pastors and suggested Catholics should find someone else to lead them. He then joined this observation with a condemnation of Israel’s conduct in the war with Gaza. And that, my friends, is why he was executed. If the significance of these comments is not properly appreciated, the real reason for his death will never be fully explored and exposed. Those advocating for Kirk re-echo his cry “Go max.” It’s time that all of those who really wish to stand for truth not just mouth those words, but actually put them into action. Viva Cristo Rey!

“Eternal Father, I offer to Thine honor and glory for my eternal salvation and for the salvation of the whole world the sufferings of Jesus in the Manger… the cold He suffered, the tears He shed and His tender infant cries.” — Raccolta
Introduction
A reader recently alerted me to a very interesting article on the Tradition in Action site. While this is definitely not a recommended site, the article should be read given the past information provided here on British Israel and its connections to Zionism and Communism. (See it HERE.) The article relates the establishment of a throne in the Vatican for no less than King Charles III of England, whose ancestors slaughtered tens of thousands of Catholics and defrauded them of their property, not to mention the wholesale destruction of Catholic architecture and culture throughout Great Britain. But the full significance of this cannot be understood without a deep dive into the history of Freemasonry and secret societies in general, particularly that society most responsible for the infiltration of the clergy and the establishment of “traditional Catholicism” — The Priory of Sion.
I first sounded the alarm on this organization in my 1990 book, Will the Catholic Church Survive…? where both Angelo Roncalli and Marcel Lefebvre were pinpointed as high-ranking members of the Priory and collaborators in the destruction of the Church. And while the Priory has since been debunked as a non-entity, a fraud and a deliberately created rabbit hole, current events and additional discoveries only serve to confirm it was very much what it was portrayed to be. In the last several years I have pointed out in this blog the fact that every Traditionalist movement founded in this country can be linked to a Masonic sect known as St. John Knights of Jerusalem, and this included Marcel Lefebvre’s St. Pius X Society. As noted in the 1990 book, Lefebvre’s various branches of his Society were called “priories,” as were those of Schuckhardt, Wathen and others. Lefebvre’s seminary was located in the diocese of Sion, Switzerland. He was ordained and consecrated by the Freemason Lienart. The Holy Blood, Holy Grail authors identify him as a Priory member.
Not so well known is Angelo Roncalli’s probable affiliation with the Priory. But certainly his pre-election history — his friendship with French Masonic characters such as Marsaudon, Herriot, Auriol — and his pandering to Freemasons as “pope” was a dead giveaway. Below are excerpts from Will the Catholic Church Survive…? that explain the nature of the Priory, its relation to what we see unfolding today and Roncalli’s role as a member.
The Priory of Sion: a history
“Roncalli’s behavior was consistent with that of a man who had received a mission. Knowing the extent of masonic influence and infiltration in the Vatican, it has undoubtedly crossed the minds of many good Catholics that Brother Angelo was carrying out the orders of the Satanic Pontiff, the equivalent of Pope of all Masonry. Piers Compton, in his book The Broken Cross, relates the alleged initiation of Roncalli into the Masonic lodge of the Rose Croix. Pier Carpi’s book The Prophecies of John XXIII, divulges that Roncalli took the name “Johannes” at his initiation, which apparently took place while he served as Apostolic Delegate to Istanbul, Turkey, in 1935. The connection of Roncalli with the Rosicrucians could perhaps be put aside if it were not for the fact that many of Roncalli’s subsequent actions can be seen to confirm such an affiliation. His remark concerning the unimportance of baptism and conversion in the case of the Jews he helped to escape during World War II certainly is in keeping with Masonic doctrine. And his later appointment as Nuncio to France, combined with his anti-Catholic behavior there, provides us with a clue to the source of his Masonic affiliations.
“In his work Satan in the Modern World, Monsignor L. Cristiani quotes the heretic and satanist Giovanni Papini as having written: “…the promised land of Satanism is France.”(!) (p. 164.) How can it be that the eldest daughter of the Church should become the promised land of Satanism? The answer lies in the history of France and the pervasive influence of Albigensianism or Catharism, which took much deeper root there than was ever realized by the Church. That Albigensianism became the basis for Freemasonry is documented in the book Holy Blood. Holy Grail. (Delacourte Press; 1982.) This book presents no less than a believable collection of heretical horrors that is far and away the best exposition and condemnation of the secret societies ever written, although it is presented as a vindication of that particular ruling force of all the secret societies: the Priory of Sion.
“It will be sufficient here to offer a brief synopsis of this organization, its history and its aims, since a detailed analysis of it is beyond the scope of this book. The Priory first came into existence with the creation of the Knights Templar in 1090, by one Godfroi deBoullion. Its official headquarters was Notre Dame du Mont de Sion in Jerusalem. This occurred nine years before the founding of the Knights Templar by Hugues de Payon, a vassal of the count of Champagne. In 1188, the Templar Knights separated from deBouillion’s Order of Zion which then officially changed its name to the Priory of Zion. Its first Grand Master, Jean de Gisor, founded the Rosicrucians (Holy Blood, Holy Grail). The Priory remained a vital and moving force, which operated underground once the Templars were condemned and disbanded, and has grown phenomenally in power and influence over the centuries.
“In order to properly understand the premises on which the Priory bases its operation, it is necessary to delve somewhat into the history behind their devilish beliefs. Holy Blood, Holy Grail, relates that the Templars and the Priory were created to protect and reestablish on the throne of France an ancient bloodline. This hideous bloodline is said to be that of Christ and Mary Magdalene. The Priory legend has it that Mary Magdalene escaped to France with Joseph of Arimathea and Jesus, who did not die on the cross, but falsified his entire death and resurrection. (It is reluctantly, and with great sorrow, that we relate such blasphemy and vile heresy, even in way of proof.) This “bloodline” then, supposedly, was continued through the line of Merovingian kings, who ruled from the fifth to seventh century in an area known as the Languedoc.
This area is said to have been the site of a Jewish colony even prior to the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, and subsequent exodus of many of the Jews from the Holy Land to other areas of the world. The Merovingian kings were surrounded by mystery. They were never crowned or anointed, but were considered kings as if by divine right, on the advent of their twelfth birthday. They were known as the sorcerer or thaumatergic kings. They were “…occult adepts, initiates in arcane sciences, and practitioners of the esoteric arts …they were said to be capable of clairvoyant or telepathic communication …miraculous curative powers …and bore a distinctive birthmark which distinguished them from all other men, and …which attested to their semi-divine or sacred blood.” (Holy Blood, Holy Grail, p. 210.)
“Although this book keeps the reader in suspense forever, it is not long before it becomes apparent that this “bloodline” the Templars and the Priory protect to this day is heretically presented as that of Christ and Mary Magdalene. Eventually, the Merovingians intermarried with nearly all the royal bloodlines of Europe, which makes their descendants “divine” as well. This inheritance is said to be especially centered in the British, French and German thrones. In fact, British Israelism, currently known as the Aryan Nations or “Identity” movement, can be seen to allude to this fact, since it suggests that the ancient bloodline of David is continued in the succession to Britain’s throne.
“It has been speculated that Hitler was linked to the Priory in some way, and may even have attempted to secede from it, thus bringing the wrath of Europe on his head. But if he attempted to secede, it was not owing to his moral sense, but rather to his burning desire to rule all and be subject to none. The upper echelon Nazis were immersed in the Grail legends and pre-Christian religious practices. (The “Search for the Holy Grail” is a veiled allegory imitative of the Gospel parables. It is used by the degrees of masonry to symbolize the search for man who became God; i.e., the bloodline. This is the mirror reverse of God’s Son, who as God, assumed a human body.) In her book The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, Constance Cumbey relates that Hitler was influenced early in his school years by the abbot of a Benedictine monastery school he attended near his home. The abbot “…was fascinated by the lore of the Albigensians or Cathars, who could probably be accurately classified as early New Agers, in that they believed man could gain the powers of a god.” It was here, Cumbey notes, that Hitler “…was initiated into the finer mysteries of the occult.” (p. 100.) Cumbey further instructs us, on page 102, as to the origin of the “Aryan” nations obsession of Hitler. She writes: “…one of the seven Atlantean races was that of the Aryans …the Aryans were the master race, or supermen of the Atlantean races.”
“As we have already learned, the Jewish settlement to which Mary Magdalene and Jesus “fled,” produced the Merovingian kings and the “bloodline” eventually. The founding of this line of kings has behind it a myth. Supposedly, a queen pregnant by her husband went swimming in the ocean and was impregnated a second time by some sort of sea creature. When the child Merovie (founder of the Merovingian dynasty) was born, the blood of both fathers ran in his veins. This could allude to an intermingling of Atlantean blood, for as Cumbey notes, the Atlanteans were known to have “…magical powers over …nature and psychic development.” (p. 100.) This would then account for the psychic and healing powers attributed to the Merovingians, who like Samson, wore their hair long and credited it as the secret of their power. (The sea creature might also have been Leviathon, the “sea serpent,” spoken of in Isaias 27:1 and elsewhere, and identified in the Douay-Rheims’s footnote to this text as the Devil.) However it is interpreted, it necessarily implies a link between the New Age and the Priory; Masonry and the New Age, and the Albigenses or Cathars as the progenitors of all the above.
The papacy and the Priory
“Can all this somehow be traced to Roncalli and/or Montini? Cumbey, an evangelical Protestant lawyer, fingered Roncalli in 1983 (Hidden Dancers of the Rainbow), when she wrote: “If there has been a single Catholic Pope who permitted the New Ager’s plan to take root within the Roman Catholic Church, it was Pope John XXIII, who is spoken of reverentially by New Agers and ‘Catholic’ modernists.” (p. 160.) This mammoth conspiracy has obviously covered all bases. Today, it is headquartered somewhere in France, probably the Languedoc region. Its surname indicates that it may have successfully penetrated all of the Catholic sects and factions, for it is given as Chivalry of Catholic Rules and Institutions of the Independent and Traditionalist Union or CIRCUIT, from a Priory publication of the same name. It is also called “The Rose-Croix Veritas.”
“Its meetings and method of operation are shrouded in secrecy, but since 1956, the Priory has been said to have experienced phenomenal growth. It has also been connected with the society known as “Hieron du Val d’Or,” characterized by the authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail as being “…more Catholic than the Pope…,” but which, in fact, attempted to fuse Catholicism and Masonic principles. Action Francais, condemned by Pius XI, who placed all books published by its proponents on the Index, was no less than an attempt to place a Merovingian king on the throne of France. Today’s attempt to consolidate Europe politically and economically into a “United States of Europe,” is but a studied effort to create a modern empire to be ruled by “the descendants of Jesus.”(!)
“From Holy Blood, Holy Grail, we read: “This dynasty could not only occupy a throne of political power, but quite conceivably, the throne of St. Peter,” (p. 385.) Could the occupant of any such throne really be a pope, or would he rule a kingdom other than Christ’s? For those who loudly proclaim that Roncalli was a dear, sweet man and is being libeled; or sneeringly state that “no one can prove” he was a freemason, we would like to observe that masonry operates secretly for a reason. That reason is obvious: no one will then be able to determine who is on the up and up. For our purposes, we must content ourselves with the fact that Roncalli is a heretic, but the following information should prove he was, without a doubt, more.
- Since the Priory’s inception, according to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, “…every grand master, on assuming his position, has adapted the name Jean (French for John) …This succession was clearly intended to imply an Hermetic papacy based on John, in contrast (and perhaps, opposition) to the esoteric one based on Peter …Roncalli caused considerable consternation when he chose the name John XXIII, anathematized since it was last used … by an anti-pope … In 1958 (Jean) Cocteau held the grand mastership …(when) Pope Pius XII died …and the assembled cardinals elected Roncalli. …Cocteau did not die until 1963.” (pp. 132-133.) Roncalli was only a transitional Pope, [as arranged by no less than the CIA] and his death coincided with that of Cocteau. If both “thrones” fell vacant at the same time, did Montini alone fall heir to the “throne?” Was the “transition” Roncalli was designated to make the deliverance of the papacy into the hands of the “Satanic Pontiff?” …
- Roncalli has been said to be obsessed with John the Baptist. Thus, he gave us the reason for selecting the name John as his love for Christ’s cousin. (See “Urbi et Orbi,” Oct. 1958.) Actually, John the Baptist and John the Evangelist are held in high esteem by Freemasons, who Piers Compton reports, make a point of meeting on their feast days (Dec. 27 and June 24). It is said by some that both John the Baptist and John the Divine were Essenes, although the Catholic Church denies this. (See Essenes; Catholic Encyclopedia, 1911 ed.) Since the Essenes were a Jewish sect, the Church sees no need to bother with them. …Holy Blood, Holy Grail, however, gives us the real reasons behind Roncalli’s use of the name John on page 55: “…the Templars were infected with the Johannite or Mandian heresy, which denounced Jesus as a false prophet and acknowledged John as the true Messiah.”
- “So Roncalli was honoring Masonic tradition. And Roncalli’s “mission,” mentioned earlier, was to act in a capacity which coincided with the role of his idol, John the Baptist. For Roncalli was the precursor; the voice crying in the modernist wilderness; the one who would prepare the way for the “Rex Mundi.” Further reason for Roncalli’s choice of name as Pope is given by Jean Bardet in his Les Clefs De La Recherche Fondamentale. On page 72, he writes: “…Roncalli…was elected the 28th of October [and] took the name of John XXIII, in honor of France, for John XXIII was the last Pope of Avignon.” According to authors Lincoln, Leigh and Baigent, in their work Holy Blood, Holy Grail, The Hieron du Val d’Or admitted the existence of a hidden pope and his entourage, which of course would include bishops, waiting in the wings to act either as a replacement for or an alternative to the current church in Rome:
- “’The Hiéron’s agenda was the creation of a new Habsburg and Catholic Holy Roman Empire with a French temporal and spiritual head in the manner of the Grand Monarch, an association of Europeans bound by common law and dedicated to advancing the mission of Christ the King.” (Here they cite sources linked to the “Catholic” secret society Marcel Lefebvre reportedly belonged to, the Priory of Sion.) “They [the Hieron] claim the existence of a secret parallel Catholic tradition called l’Eglise d’Avignon (Church of Avignon), which they trace to the medieval Papacy installed in Avignon from 1309 to 1378. The claim is that it continued in secret with a Pope who represents the esoteric aspects of the Catholic Church. L’Eglise d’Avignon is said to serve as an intermediary between the Roman Church and the Eastern Orthodox tradition.’
- This is an interesting comment when we consider that the first John XXIII was elected at Pisa (a council never considered ecumenical by the Church) and was later deposed at Constance. It seems that the plan to unite the papacy and the monarchy was conceived long ago, but was dealt a setback once Martin V was elected at Constance and the papacy permanently established in Rome, once again. Roncalli’s contribution to the “bloodline,” as “pope” was to insert the “precious blood” into the divine Praises that the God-man might become a man-God, as surely it did when Montini (Paul VI) embarked on his campaign to deify man.
- In St. Malachy’s prophecies, John XXIII is designated as “Pasteur et Nautionner” (Shepherd and Navigator). The official title of the Priory’s Grand Master is “Nautionnier. Whether these prophecies are truly genuine, or clever forgeries as some have suggested, they accurately identified Roncalli’s dual personality while “pope.” And, the objection cannot be made that Roncalli’s identification with Malachy’s “motto” affords him legitimacy, for Malachy’s list contains mottoes for several anti-popes.
- Roncalli was the first “pope” to contradict the excommunication of his predecessors for membership in a Masonic sect. His relaxation of this application of Canon Law came with “Pacem in Terris,” which extolled the United Nations and granted a general relaxation of discipline begun at the start of Roncalli’s reign. In her Son of Perdition, C. Lereux relates: “John XXIII …allowed a revision of Canon Law to be expected. While awaiting these ‘new laws,’ everyone proceeded to do and say whatever they wished.” (p. 36.)
- In June of 1960, Roncalli issued an apostolic letter on the “Precious Blood.” The authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grailclaim that he attached “…a hitherto unprecedented significance to that blood. It emphasized Jesus’ suffering as a human being and maintained that the redemption of mankind had been effected by the shedding of His blood … If man’s redemption was achieved by the shedding of Jesus’ blood, his death and resurrection become incidental.” (p. 135.) How strange that Roncalli would attach such significance to the very reason for the Priory’s existence if he was not a member. One would need to be very blind, indeed, to fail to make the connection between Roncalli and Freemasonry in the face of such damning evidence.
The false prophet and the Great Monarch
“It is difficult to see, in light of what we know today, how Roncalli could have been anything OTHER than the false prophet spoken of in Apocalypse 13, vs. 11. E.S. Berry, in his Apocalypse of St. John, writes: “The beast arising from the earth is a false prophet, the prophet of Antichrist …the false prophet …will be endowed with the plenitude of satanic powers to deceive the nations, as indicated by his resemblance to the lamb. The prophet will probably set himself up in Rome as a sort of anti-pope,” (p. 135). Reverend P. Huchede, in his little work The History of AntiChrist, tells us: “…this false prophet will be an individual person … he will not be a king, or a general of an army, but a clever apostate fallen from the episcopal dignity… he will become the first preacher of the false messiah,” (p. 24). C.C. Martindale quotes Father Allo on the false prophet in his commentary on the Apocalypse: “…the false prophet represents that vague, solvent ‘toleration,’ which was then going to become Gnosticism…the lazy, flattering notion that all creeds are finally of a muchness is, indeed, as modern as it was prevalent in ancient but decadent days. There could then, be two ‘foci’ of anti-Christianity–the openly persecuting state and the vague, subservient ‘religion,’ which the state could patronize without damage to itself.” (A Catholic Commentary on Holy Scripture, p. 1206.) (End of Will the Catholic Church Survive…? quotes)
Tying the British and French monarchies into all this, Tim Cohen writes in his Antichrist and a Cup of Tea (1998): “The Priory of Zion has in fact been more an historical tool of the English monarchy and nobility than of the French. It is of significant interest therefore that the Priory of Zion, the Temple Knights and the Rosicrucians, all of which ultimately derive from the earlier Order of Zion, together gave rise to English and French Freemasonry. Moreover in 1348…the order of the Garter became the major control point from which the English monarchy exercised its global influence… The supposed Protocols of the Elders of Zion appears not to be a Judaic work but a modified work of the Priory of Zion possibly having been altered for public consumption with the complicity of the illuminati. Nevertheless with much contrivance the work was later advanced as proof of a Jewish conspiracy…
“From 1188 to the present day, the Priory of Zion has been the benefactor of a struggle for dominance between English and French royalty and nobility. Originally a French-English oligarchical order and secret society from which came the Knights Templar and the Rosicrucians, its control came to rest largely with the English side even while a number of its grandmasters resided in France… The Merovingians and the Priory of Zion have long-awaited what the false prophet Nostradamus (also the Protestant John Locke and many Catholic prophecies so-called, which cannot always prove to be reliable) referred to as the ‘great monarch,’ the ultimate Prince of Lorraine and priest-king who would work with the Pope to establish a New World Order.” From what has been said in the opening paragraph of this blog, it appears that the identity of this “great monarch” has now been revealed by the Novus Ordo heresiarch and usurper Leo 14, who apparently has provided a throne for Charles III in what was once the Holy Place itself.
Conclusion
So now we can add to the British Israel mix the “French Connection,” something Candace Owens has recently been exploring in her podcasts after reports emerged that she was threatened with assassination by the French government for her exposure of French first lady Brigitte Macron as a biological man. She also has raised the possibility that Charlie Kirk’s assassination can be traced to French and Israeli operatives. She has noted that there seems to be some association with certain underground group symbols, namely bees, and says she has dreamt of bees. Utah’s state symbol is a beehive, as Owens has mentioned, and the state’s population is predominantly Mormon. According to the Encyclopedia of Mormonism:
“Nineteenth-century leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints consciously created symbols to buttress their community. The most persistent of these pioneer symbols was the beehive.” As Tim Cohen notes, “At the highest degrees and levels Freemasonry and its plethora of cult and occult branches, which include Mormonism, Theosophy, the New Age movement and even Anton Lavey’s Church of Satan not only openly deride Christ and his work but explicitly advocate the worship and adoration of Lucifer (Satan) as a means to achieve individual godhood and World Peace.” And there are those who have labeled the New Apostolic Reformation as a sort of neo-Mormonism.
Owens tells us that the Bolsheviks have infiltrated this country and we soon will be at war. She says she does not expect to see her children grow up. She blames the Masonic founding of this country for its demise, telling us her British “priest” informed her about this. She has so much of it figured out. And yet the bees surrounding her in her dreams are frantic little messengers warning that she is caught in the web of the very thing she is trying to expose.
According to online sources, the official emblem of the Priory of Sion is partly based on the fleur-de-lis, which is found throughout Saint Sulpice (a society associated with the Priory). The emblem represents a bee, and the tradition of long-haired kings of France known as the Merovingian dynasty, including Childeric, who was found with 300 gold bees in his tomb.
Roncalli’s invalid election smoothly segued into the ascent of Paul 6 as the next usurper of the papal throne. Who was the successor of Priory Grand Master Jean Cocteau following his death in 1963? Giovanni Battista Montini, and he brazenly displayed the proofs of his Priory affiliation on his coat of arms below. Note the three fleur-de-lis bees. And what is beneath them? The beehive — even Montini’s tiara resembled a beehive, unlike that of previous true popes. The coat of arms tells us the Priory had finally captured the papacy, but that is not all
Owens’ other observations regarding Zionism and its true driving force are also realized in Paul 6. All the answers she is searching for can be satisfied in the spiritual, not the political or secular realm. But the “priests” handling her today will never reveal this. Civil governments would never have toppled had the Church not been destroyed first. Unless the abomination of desolation had entered in as Pope Paul IV predicted in Cum ex Apostolatus Officio in 1559, we would not be witnessing the wholesale triumph of Freemasonry today.
If it is really truth that Owens thirsts for, as she claims — if that is what really matters, as it should matter to all of us — then all avenues must first be exhausted to find it. She owes her listeners the true explanation for why we are facing war, the loss of our freedoms, the annihilation of our religion and culture. Faith alone will survive, Our Lady told the children at La Salette, not a mad scramble of political conspiracies mixed with what passes for that faith. Removing the linchpin that will unleash on the world the real reason why we find ourselves in this predicament is the only pathway to truth. The papal see has been usurped. Antichrist has come, the Mass has ended, and without Christ offered on our altars daily, as Dr. Nicholas Gihr wrote in 1897, the world is doomed:
“It is by Christ’s Blood in the Mass that the anger of God is daily placated, the vengeance of the Divine judgment disarmed, that He no more curses the earth on account of man, whose mind and thoughts are prone to evil from his youth (Gen. 8:21). When this “Sacrifice for sins” shall be no longer celebrated, then ‘there remains but a certain dreadful expectation of judgment and the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries’ (Heb. 10: 26-27).”
