Candace Owens, TPUSA and the deepfake psyop

+St. Paul’s Conversion+

(Catch the new comment a reader made on Robert Robbins’ misogyny HERE. Please keep the Robbins’ in your prayers. Now onto this week’s topic.)

Introduction

As most readers know and some have lamented, I have been following Candace Owens’ coverage of the Charlie Kirk assassination from day one.  The Zionism angle and her realization that this group corresponds to the Apocalypse quote regarding the Synagogue of Satan intrigued me.  Then of course there were the conflicting reports that before his death Kirk had been considering conversion to the Novus Ordo. “Considering” here is the important word. When over the years I have been prompted to pay attention to things like this I have learned not to ignore these promptings; we all know where they come from. Following the guidance of the Holy Ghost is what led me to realize at age 19 I would witness in my lifetime what others had never seen; that Traditionalists were never Catholic; that David Bawden could never have become a pope; that LibTrad pseudo-clergy were invalid.

One reader commented not long ago that Owens was running a psyops and I was being pulled into it. Yes, she is running her own brand of psyops while exposing others, but I realized this was a possibility early on. I simply wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, and no, I am not falling for it. The reason Catholics in the past were pulled into one LibTrad sect and scheme after another is that they did not sit back and evaluate the position of the ones running the scheme — try to figure the angle, point out the pros and cons, make note of any errors. It takes time and some head work, but eventually taking notes and paying attention pays off. Finally all that has paid off now, and a shadowy outline of what may be going on here is emerging. Things could change; there may be some positives, but I highly doubt it. Owens may think she is looking for the truth but I am afraid that her British husband — her priests and their Latin Mass — will make sure she never finds it.

Lately she has been advertising the magisterium AI site, as if AI is any vehicle from which to learn true Catholicism. That was red flag number one. She wants the easy way out, for herself and her readers. You don’t learn the faith from a conglomeration of true and false “papal” documents mashed into a nice little mental sandwich; it doesn’t work that way. This is exactly the reason readers on this site were cautioned about Ludwig Ott’s Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma. But compression of Catholic theological truths is dangerous. The book review on Dr. Ott’s work written by John J. King, O.M.I. for the January 1956 issue of the American Ecclesiastical Review states: “The publication of this volume by Dr. Ott should bolster the argumentation of those who protested the use of the digest approach to the study of sacred theology. Dr. Ott has attempted to compress the entire field of dogmatic theology (including fundamental, special and Sacramental dogma) into a single volume of 519 pages… Very often in the scientific exposition of the dogmas of the Church conciseness can be attained only at the expense of clarity and accuracy…”

But it is her failure to provide her listeners with the WHOLE truth that is most disturbing, although we know she cannot do that without questioning her Novus Ordo “faith.” She talks about infiltration of non-believers into the TPUSA organization and other non-Catholic groups; she warns parents to take their children out of even private schools and home school them; she warns of those in the military industrial complex erasing and rewriting history, but she fails to note the beginning of this effort and track it to its initial source. She warns of sex trafficking and pedophilia in the ranks of government and the military, as well as in Protestant sects, but she omits the sex scandals that have rocked the Novus Ordo since the 1960s. These scandals began when what was once the Catholic Church was successfully infiltrated by Modernists and Freemasons, beginning in the late 1800s.  She talks of conspiracy facts, but ignores the most glaring conspiracy of all — the usurpation of the papacy from 1958 on.

What may really be going on with Owens became clear recently. She reported in one podcast that TPUSA is now reorganizing, firing a good chunk of employees to head in a “new direction.” And as always happens with such reorganizations, on the heels of these firings follow also a departure of further employees and a realignment of loyalties.  A new conservative patriotic group will most likely rise now, she predicted, and while it remained unsaid, it will possibly be headed by Owens herself. This splinter group will cater to conservative Novus Ordo catholics, especially the young among her audience, who have recently flocked to the Latin Mass that she also attends. Disillusioned TPUSA “Christians” will be reminded that Kirk eventually embraced Catholicism and that the Novus Ordo and its Latin Mass should be what they are joining and attending, because it would be what Charlie wanted for them. One of Owens’ dreams might even suggest this. Who killed Kirk and why will eventually fall to the wayside, as the new brand he left in his last days takes shape. This by way of contrast to what Owens rightly characterizes as the corporate Christianity TPUSA now hypocritically promotes.

It is time Owens’ audience hears the rest of the story, or rather the true beginning of the story, and where it really leads. In The Phantom Church in Rome, I touched on the Knights of Malta, an organization that turned the Catholic Church in America on its head and contributed to everything Owens has mentioned as destroying America today in her broadcasts — the military industrial complex, Freemasonry, Zionism, child trafficking, espionage, and much more.  It was in an e-book I wrote in 2006, however, that I first addressed this topic at length, and the following excerpt from that book gives the history of what paved the way for events today. Owens presents as though they were just now emerging, something far from the truth. They are part and parcel of her church, the dark past of an American secret society that helped topple the true Church and usher in ecumenism and the false Vatican 2 council. And Owens can’t abandon ecumenism because without it she lacks the hook to draw in former TPUSA members who don’t identify as Catholics. Below we read the real story, the background she failed to provide.

The Sovereign Knights of Malta finance the Church

Once upon a time, Francis Cardinal Spellman, a friend of Pope Pius XII referred to by some as the American Pope, ran his own little kingdom right in the U.S:  the Knights of Malta, suspected heir apparent of the Templar legacy. In the early 1950s, Spellman and fellow Cardinals Nicola Canali and Angelo Roncalli, later John 23, were implicated in a money scandal that shook the order in the early 1950s, and eventually came to the attention of Pope Pius XII. Spellman had been accepting thousands of dollars in “contributions” for bestowing knightly titles on American members, and the Vatican was receiving only a minute fraction of the monies collected. The ensuing investigation was little more than a whitewash, author Paul I. Murphy recorded in his La Popessa, a biography of Sr. Pascalina. And not a whisper of conspiratorial conduct issued concerning the knights.

Pius XII trusted Spellman implicitly and this trust may have been his undoing. In appropriating the Knights of Malta for pro-active ventures on behalf of the Church, it seems that Spellman and other Cardinals took advantage of the K of M’s shadow-lands existence as an organization. If no heads turned at Spellman’s recourse to the K of M for financial assistance, it was due to the fact that for centuries the Holy See officially sanctioned the Knights and the Order conducted its activities under the watchful eye of the Church.  According to the DeMontor’s Lives and Times of the Popes, this was to ensure that the Hospitallers would not experience the same “fate as the Templars,” (Vol. IV, under Pope John XXII). When the Knights acquired Malta, it appears that the Church agreed to honor a promise made to the Grand Master Follques de Villaret — that the Order would be granted sovereignty so that they might continue to protect the Holy Land. The Church had reason to be concerned — already Pope Gregory IX in 1238 had rebuked the Hospitallers for “living scandalous lives” and betraying their vows of poverty and chastity. He also accused them of being “greedy and corrupt” and in communion with the schismatic Eastern Orthodox.

That the K of M loyally defended the faith for many centuries is a matter of fact, first as Hospitallers and later under the title Knights of St. John, Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta. The Order sent three galleys to fight the Turks during the Battle of Lepanto and distinguished themselves for their bravery. They tenderly cared for the wounded personally and established many hospitals for this purpose. But shortly after Lepanto, the Order deteriorated and eventually fell prey to numerous moral and spiritual disorders. “There can be no doubt whatsoever that after 1530, the Order was no longer independent and sovereign,” (Ernle Bradford). This certainly had some connection to the Protestant Reformation, as all Europe was abuzz with the heresies of King Henry VIII and Martin Luther. The order was expelled from Malta in 1798 by Napoleon, and for some time Czar Paul of Russia held the Grand Mastership.

The Czar established a Russian Orthodox Priory in 1798, although he was not considered the official head of the order. “De facto, though not de jure, Paul I was the 72nd head of the Order,” (Bradford, from the work, A Modern Crusade,). In 1801, Czar Paul was murdered after a falling out with Britain. The British eventually gained control of Malta in 1814 and Bradford states that they “became to all intents and purposes, successors to the Order.” Pope Pius VII approved Grand Master Tommasi in 1803, but from thereon the order entered a lengthy period of inactivity and disorganization. Pope Leo XIII revived the order in 1879, but at this time it was headquartered in Rome and enjoyed relatively limited influence. Prior to this period of inactivity, a schism in the group splintered the knights and would later give rise to speculation concerning which group was rightly descended from the original order.

The Sovereign Military Order of Malta’s official website states that in response to a special request by Pope Pius XI on behalf of the official headquarters of the order in Rome, an American Chapter of the Knights of Malta was created April 28, 1927 with headquarters in New

York. During Pius XI’s reign, the Knights came under fire from the Vatican sometime before World War II, although the reasons for the Vatican’s suspicions remain unknown. From that time on, it seems, there were questions concerning knightly activities. Spellman, who served as the group’s spiritual advisor, undoubtedly quelled such suspicions. The investigation later launched at the insistence of Sr. Pascalina, Pope Pius XII’s housekeeper and assistant, centered on a struggle for control of the group by Spellman and Nicola Cardinal Canali, who urged the Pope to rein in the Knights under Canali’s direction. (One of the issues involved Bp. Angelo Roncalli’s appointment of a 33rd degree Freemason, Marsaudon, to the French K of M Grand Master position.) Pius XII entrusted the K of M investigation to Cardinal Tisserant, not well respected by Sr. Pascalina. Murphy reported that Pius met her objections with the comment that his cardinals were not to be held suspect and should be treated with respect. Nevertheless, Pius XII declined to personally endorse the Knights or grant them any sort of confirmation as an order.

The outcome of this investigation is detailed in the article John XXIII and Masonry – The Pope of the Council, (Sodalitium, Oct.- Nov. 1996): “On November 14, 1951, Ludovico Chigi Albani della Rovere, Grand Master of the Order of Malta died in Rome. Normally, the Knights would have then convened to elect a successor; but they did not do so. They were unable to do so: Pius XII formally forbade them to do so. The Pope appointed a commission of Cardinals [Papal Commission] charged to reform (or suppress) the Order of Malta, and for the rest of the days of Papa Pacelli, the Knights would not have a Grand Master. All of that changed on June 24, 1961. On that date, the feast of Saint John the Baptist, patron of the Order (and of Masonry), John XXIII received the Knights at the Vatican, and to their great satisfaction, publicly issued the Brief by which the Commission of Cardinals instituted by Pius XII was suppressed.”

Author Penny Lernoux asserted that the branch headed by Cardinal Spellman “pledges allegiance to the pope,” (People of God). She noted, however, that neither the pope nor the order’s grand master in Rome “has real control over SMOM’s (Sovereign Military Order of the Knights of Malta) various associations, some of whose members have been involved in fascist plots and CIA covert wars.” Lernoux’s statement is important, because several organizations claiming to be the true successors of the Knights of Malta have been confused with the branch of the Knights created by Pope Pius XI. When referring to the K of M in this section, only the papal order is indicated.

The true origin of SMOM has been obscured by the many splits within the order itself throughout the centuries. The only mention of the Knights Malta made in Arthur Preuss’ book Dictionary of Secret and other Societies refers to the English (Orange) and strictly Protestant branch of this order, headquartered in Philadelphia. Preuss dated the founding of this order back to 1889. It claimed 75,000 members in 1923. The only other reference Preuss made to the Knights of Malta is the Masonic Knights, a rite within the American Knights Templar degree. In his The Knights of the Order, author Ernle Bradford stated that the English (non-denominational) order did not establish itself in America until 1960. A historian for the 1960 group claimed it is “the only Order of St. John which admits Christians of all denominations.” And yet one Malta organization claims to be THE Catholic successor of the (initially Catholic and papal) order, although it holds itself above the pope.

The Knights of Malta and the war years

The diplomatic immunity accorded the papal K of M order, a privilege accorded this group from the time of the medieval ages was especially useful to Church and state during the war years, particularly where espionage was concerned. Had this usefulness been contained to certain necessary activities directly flowing from the war, that would have been one thing. But in many ways, World War II was the coming of age for the Knights, helping them gain a foothold in the brave, New World Order that lie ahead.

Like the Priory, the Knights claim the membership of European nobility, the heads of international finance and business, high-ranking heads of state and military figures, as well as prelates of the Catholic Church. Initially the American knights opposed the New Deal, and at least one of their members, Cardinal Spellman’s good friend Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, opposed the war in Europe. As stated above, the Knights generated millions of dollars for the Church and Cardinal Spellman regularly forwarded these funds to Cardinal Canali in Rome for disbursal. Mgr. Montini performed a like function in using same-source funds for Catholic Action activities, handled by Cardinal Pizzardo. It was said that Pope Pius XII trusted Spellman to keep his Knights in order. During the war years, Spellman also acted as a go-between for the Vatican and the White House, also the American government and other entities. It was Spellman who first advised the Vatican to cooperate with the British-inspired OSS, headed by his old friend William “Wild Bill” Donovan. In terms of the 1958 conclave, this cooperation would prove to be a disaster.

One K of M aristocrat, von Papen, made Hitler’s rise to power in Germany possible. This is yet another indication that generally the Knights favor nationalism and National Socialism versus other forms of government because these can admit of an absolute ruler and constitute the closest thing to monarchy. We also hear echoes in this philosophy of the Gallican liberties, the continuity theory and rule by Divine right. Former teacher-turned-author John Taylor Gatto confirmed that this rule already exists internationally, (whether its source is the K of M specifically, the Priory, the modern-day Illuminati aka Pilgrim Society or some other organization). Describing the ownership of children by the state as “parens patriae,” Gatto credits its origin to the very creation of America’s government. He notes that the principle represents a radical departure from later European views of the family, reflecting instead the power of “old-time, absolute kings,” (“The Under-ground History of American Education”).

Gatto and other authors have observed that this belief that children are owned by the state has a precedent-setting legal history in America dating back to 1796. Gatto pointed out that it is a calculated attempt by the state to manipulate family life, society as a whole and shape the future according to its own agenda, without mentioning the current philosophy of the Department of Human Services nationwide acting “in the best interests of the children.” He also documented the Germanization of American schools following the War of 1812 and generally concluded that beginning with Ben Franklin, the model for America was Prussian National Socialism, the very mode of government preferred by the Knights. And overall, Gatto styles compulsory education as “a global movement.”

This preference for fascism is reflected time and time again in the K of M’s dealings during World War II. The American government suspected the K-of-M-affiliated W.R. Grace Co., a manufacturer of chemicals, of trading with the Nazis during the war. The order was directly involved in “Project Paperclip” following the war’s end, importing hundreds of Nazi scientists and even war criminals into the U.S. from Germany. As an exalted member of the Order, Argentina’s Juan Peron also smuggled Nazi war criminals into South America. Msgr. Montini was the principal contact for the OSS in Rome. Through the offices of the Vatican, he arranged the escape of thousands of German war criminals with the help of Donovan’s organization, working with the order. It was the OSS who set up Germany’s postwar intelligence department, using money from the newly established Central Intelligence Agency in America, another offshoot of the OSS. Pope Pius XII’s medical advisor, Dr. Luigi Gedda, assisted Montini in this effort. Gedda, also the head of Italian Catholic Action, organized committees among Catholic Action cells during the 1948 elections to help secure victory for the Christian Democrats headed by Montini’s father.

In 1948 the Vatican, the Knights of Malta, the OSS and the CIA funded the Italian elections in which the Christian Democrats, Montini’s father’s party, played a key role. Penny Lernoux reports that Montini and Spellman “funneled huge amounts of New York money into clandestine Church activities in Italy,” (People of God); already Montini was building his empire. Alicide De Gasperi, who had worked with the elder Montini and Sturzo to form Populare headed the post-war group. Once again using the hammer of Communism to pound home their message, the various agencies funding the effort were able to secure the election of a Christian Democrat candidate. During a hearing conducted by the House of Representatives in the 1970s, it was reported that overall the CIA funneled $65 million into conservative Italian organizations between 1946 and 1972, (Lernoux). During this same time period the K of M attempted two unsuccessful government takeovers in Europe.

Years later, several K of M members would be found on the rosters of those connected to the Michele Sindona (P2) banking scandal. Sindona was a friend of Montini’s from the 1950s on, “a top financier for the international Mafia, laundering drug profits for the Gambino brothers and their Sicilian counterparts… He [also] functioned as a financial conduit for numerous CIA operations, passing funds, for example, to the Greek colonels before they seized power in 1967. He later channeled millions of CIA dollars to centrist and right-wing political parties in Italy, including the ruling Christian Democrats” (Mother Jones article, 1983 July/August). Cardinal Francis Spellman seems to have been the common denominator in the involvement of CIA and K of M affiliates in P2, according to Lincoln, Leigh and Baigent, (Messianic Legacy). And seeing that Sindona was to Montini what Nogara had once been to Pius XI and XII, only on a more sinister scale, it would not be surprising to discover Spellman was the man behind the scenes who held the purse strings.

K of M rosters are a virtual Who’s Who in American government and business, with a heavy membership emphasis on former directors of the CIA. Many of these same players either founded or joined other spin-off support groups traceable to the OSS, CIA, or K of M. Lincoln, Leigh and Baigent even speculate that the Priory and the Malta knights rival each other for control of top-level operations governing world finance and politics. But the many interconnecting and subsidiary organizations relied upon by these same individuals are as fascinating if not more so than the actual parent organizations. And in many ways, they represent the bigger picture, the completion of some unspoken work understood by the orchestrators, but hidden from public view.

ACUE, Pro Deo and the K of M

In the 1920s, Dr. Joseph Retinger began spreading the gospel of European unity, working with aristocrats promoting a European Economic Community then called Pan Europa. Europeans active in this endeavor included Count Coudenhove-Kalergi (who helped establish the OSS) and later Merovingian descendant Archduke Otto von Hapsburg. A friend of Italian Catholic Action head Dr. Luigi Gedda, Retinger shared sensitive information during the war with Gedda, who in turn passed it on to Montini and the CIA. While his efforts were focused on Europe, others in the U.S. simultaneously pursued similar goals. Following the failure of the League of Nations project promoted by President Woodrow Wilson and Col. House, American financiers, politicians and educators favoring formation of the League founded the Council on Foreign Relations in England, first known as the Royal Institute of International Affairs, (Reinventing Government, by Robert Hillmann).

One of the Institute’s projects was the rewriting of American history to reflect global pursuits, gradually leading youth into the one-world, new order lair. In 1948 the American Committee for a United Europe (ACUE) was created to complement Pan Europa’s efforts. Former OSS head Donovan was chairman, future CIA chief Allen Dulles, also a Knight was co-chairman, and George Franklin, director of the Council on Foreign Relations and later instrumental in forming the Trilateral Commission was elected its secretary. (Dulles’ son, Avery, was a “cardinal” in the Novus Ordo church.) The formation of this American committee was entirely in line with the Priory’s goals for a stronger Europe.

In a May 1954 meeting partially financed by the CIA, Retinger, then CIA chief Walter Bedell and former British Special Operations Execution (SOE) director Sir Collin Gubbins, among others, met at the Hotel Bilderberger and founded the Bilderbergers. At about the same time the John Birch Society (JBS) first broke on the American scene. Although no evidence exists to suggest the K of M established the JBS, its creation was in keeping with the non-denominational orientation of the Knights, and many traditional Catholic “priests” later would direct their Catholic followers into its ranks. It oriented its members solely to the political face of the “conspiracy” to the exclusion of its religious origins. All who tried to digress from the stated position of the Birchers and link modern-day manifestations of secret societies to those Pope Leo XIII and other pontiffs condemned were accused of acting as “neutralizers.” This decidedly intolerant attitude only reinforced Traditionalist tendencies to follow blindly and let others do their thinking for them. It defused fears and curiosity concerning the crisis in the Church by explaining it solely in terms of Communist infiltration and nothing else. Later it was revealed that the Birch Society’s top members were high-degree Freemasons.

Prior to World War II, Rev. Felix Morlion established an intelligence agency, The Center of Information Pro Deo in Lisbon, Portugal. Morlion’s agency was actually the brain child of Goncalves Cardinal Cerejeira, Patriarch of Lisbon, who requested that Morlion operate it to train his staff in the journalism techniques the priest had developed while instructing Catholic Action members in propaganda techniques. Prior to his Pro Deo work, Morlion operated an anti-Communist, anti-Nazi offensive in Belgium, a press service specializing in film subject matter, and opened an additional Catholic Press Center in Belgium. After he was driven into Portugal by the Nazis in 1941, OSS head William Donovan, who was awarded the Grand Cross of St. Sylvester for his services to the Vatican during WWII by Pope Pius XII, brought Morlion to the U.S. Shortly after the Allied victory in Europe, Donovan and Morlion succeeded in establishing Pro Deo in the Vatican itself, guaranteeing that “The City” would rule as the system of the Beast from Rome.

“Donovan had served as a chief of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the wartime predecessor of the Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA. Early in the war, in 1941, Donovan had already forged an alliance with the founder of a Catholic intelligence agency, called Pro Deo (Felix Morlion) . The two agencies collaborated during and after the war, to such an extent that eventually they amalgamated. This resulted in the de facto integration of the CIA and of the Vatican intelligence, into a global USA-Vatican apparatus, whose operations now encompassed the globe. The amalgamation operated in favour of the advancement of the Catholic Church in the political fields, at home and abroad. And indeed, in joint USA-Vatican promotion of their respective objectives. It helped in the promotion of Presidential candidates in the USA, and in the promotion of potential papal candidates in the Vatican.

After the war, Morlion dropped his anti-Nazi stance to adopt the anti-Communist hard line. At first his technique drew from the Jocist method of Catholic Action, which relies on the principles observe, judge and act. Later his emphasis shifted to highlight the “business-like spirit of America” to better effect an international redirection of public opinion. Pro Deo’s first shot at the effectiveness of this technique came with the Italian elections in 1948 and the barrage of propaganda aimed at the Italian people for two years prior to those elections. This seems to have been a test run for his new propaganda machine, and it performed well.

Grand Master Mason Albert Pike, in his Morals and Dogma (1871) explains how useful it is to those in power to mold public opinion, a practice we have seen shamefully exhibited (primarily) by the liberal media over the past several decades. Pike writes: “Public opinion is an immense force, and its currents are as incomprehensible as those of the atmosphere. Nevertheless, in free governments it is omnipotent; and the business of the statesman is to find the means to shape, control and direct it. According as that is done, it is beneficial and conservative or destructive and ruinous” (pg. 90). This of course is to be expected from the powers that be whose intent it is to secretly shape and control government before overturning it completely. What Catholics would not expect is to see it inserted by an international Catholic organization into Catholic publications, in any form, and yet this is precisely what happened, and in the name of Catholic Action no less.

The Jesuit Father Robert Graham confirmed that Morlion was a CIA agent. He was quoted in an Italian article from La Repubblica titled “The Pious Friar Working for the CIA”: “Yes, Father Felix Morlion was from the CIA, he was a big point of reference for American intelligence”. And Graham was ranked as one of the most qualified espionage history scholars. (Avro Manhattan, in his 1985 book Murder in the Vatican ). Later it would be Morlion who served as Vatican facilitator in the Cuban crisis. He also was responsible for providing the exact wording in the Vatican 2 document “revising” the Church’s official teaching on the role the Jews played in Christ’s Crucifixion, (How the Jews Changed Catholic Thinking, Look magazine). This alone should have merited a mention by Owens from a Zionist point of view.

Conclusion

Owens can easily find her military industrial complex actors enrolled in the K of M, among them CIA directors. Lernoux lists some of them as William Casey, John McCone, Gen. Alexander Haig, William Simon, Jeremiah Denton. Other military and intel types include James Angleton, George Bush Sr., William Buckley, Allen Welsh Dulles, John Foster Dulles, Oliver North, Clay Shaw, John Poindexter and Zibignew Brzezinski, to name a few. It has even been rumored that Erika Kirk is a Grand Dame of Malta. Who knows how many more CIA officials are members today. There also are many intersecting points, some of them quite disturbing. And that does not even begin to list the K of M members who are/were captains of industry, which is a lengthy one. David A. Wemhoff reports in his book John Courtney Murray: Time/Life and the American Proposition that Spellman was a CIA informer (p. 20). He also notes that the wife of Time Magazine owner Henry Luce, Clare Booth Luce was a K of M member as well, and that Spellman and Luce were quite close. In one of his magazine’s articles, the author portrayed Spellman as a good guy regarding the subject of Americanism and Pope Leo XIII as the bad guy, for holding a false opinion on the subject (!).

Henry Luce supported Murray, a Jesuit, who was chosen by liberals to promote “the American version of Church-state relations, the very same religious views condemned by the popes of the 19th century” (p. 20). Msgr. John Ryan, Rev. Francis J. Connell and Msgr. Joseph C. Fenton fought him tooth and toenail until their deaths.  It was the Protestant elites and an association promoting better relations between Catholics and Jews that pandered to Murray, Wemhoff relates. Imagine that. And Morlion’s Pro Deo was the vehicle that was used to control public opinion among Catholics to promote Murray’s ecumenism, later enshrined at Vatican 2. It was Morlion who wrote How the Jews Changed Catholic Thinking, featured in the Jan 25, 1966 issue of Look magazine, another Luce publication.

And of course, then reigning was the Jew Montini, with his ephod and teraphim fully in view. Zionism and its king were already among us then.

As noted above, the rewriting of history began in the 1920s. The military industrial complex invaded the Church and took over in the 1940s, 1950s. The infiltrators made it appear that the Church began to rot within since they spread their filthy doctrines and sex practices far and wide. It is thought that even Spellman was a homosexual. This war was fought and lost long ago, and we can’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again. If truth is what Owens is really seeking, it cannot be puzzled out from the chaos that surrounds us today. You can’t be a part of the very thing you pretend to be exposing. Christ IS King. But He is not the king of Owens’ kingdom.

Spiritual survival manual update, Unity Octave prayers

(Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, Rome.)

+St. Marcellus, Pope, Martyr+

In past blogs we have spoken about the katechon, a Greek word for the restraining power mentioned by St. Paul in 2 Thess. 2: 6-7: “He who withholdeth,” what and who prevents the arrival of Antichrist. LibTrad pseudo-clergy have acted as the katechon for decades, pretending to perpetuate the Church and provide the Mass and Sacraments, so it will appear as though they still exist and Antichrist has not yet come. For if they once admitted that the Mass could no longer be validly offered, then the question of how it could cease would need to be answered, even though that question was raised and answered long ago. And that Antichrist alone could take away the Sacrifice was answered in the same breath as the disappearance of the papacy.  Had Catholics consulted approved sources and not those false christs and hirelings sent to deceive them they would have known this.

It has been pointed out that various political entities are now vying for the katechon title, but the katechon is not a political entity. And he is not future tense, but past tense. For Antichrist has already come and gone; what we see today is the destruction wrought by his antichrist successors in the false papacy and their associates now running the world. But to appear as though one is the restraining power and Antichrist is yet in the future is a useful tool to promote the idea of some man on a white horse, riding in to save the day and promote world peace, the “Great Monarch,” fable we have spoken about before. But private prophecy and pagan fables won’t save us either. Nothing in Holy Scripture speaks of a such a thing.

Why are so many podcasters and so-called intellectuals so anxious to voice opinions about who Antichrist might be?  Is it in order to position their katechon and appear to have prevented his coming? Given the current pseudo-Christian climate, that would not be difficult to do. Or is it because they know full well who Antichrist was and they are trying to see if anyone else has identified him, anyone, that is, who could establish the fact with reasonable certainty that he has already reigned? What is baffling is how so many non-Catholics dedicated to sola scriptura or even those identifying as Catholic believe the Second Coming is just around the corner.  This could scarcely be the case if what precedes Antichrist’s coming has not yet occurred (great apostasy, removing of restraining power or katechon, Antichrist’s actual reign). It is absolutely nonsensical, for if Antichrist is living today, and we must identify him, the katechon has already been taken out of the way. So much for Holy Scripture!

Those trying to determine the meaning of Holy Scripture from political events have it backwards. It is the spiritual happenings in the Church that determine the course of political events in these times. Some think I am playing into the scenarios spun by Candace Owens (and others), but it was my intention from the beginning only to see where she is taking her investigation and it has highlighted quite a few things that needed to be pointed out. I have noted that she missed the real reason Kirk was murdered — his identification of the current “popes” as Commies.  She identifies as (an NO) Catholic who is at odds with Israel and Jewish belief and practice, even identifies Zionists as the synagogue of Satan, yet fails to acknowledge Paul 6 and her church as the reason for Jewish ascendency. I will continue to monitor her podcasts, because I want to see where she is going with all this and correct her errors for those who may be watching. But this should not be taken by readers as any endorsement of her assessment of the chaos, since she takes the political over spiritual approach. Spiritual must come first, because it alone explains the chaos.

Among other things, Owens stresses the alternative reality in which we now live. Alternative reality is defined as: A state of things that does not really exist (Cambridge Dictionary); or any[thing] that deviates from the [Catholic-Ed.] perception of reality” (VocabDictionary). As we have pointed out often in the past, only the laws generated by the scholastics teaching formal logic can put us in touch with reality (Rev. Michael J. Mahony, S.J, Essentials of Formal Logic, 1918). All other presentations of reality are false. This is why false forms of logic among LibTrads have been repeatedly exposed here; they are attempting to justify their alternative reality. Another thing noted by Owens is the omission or change in essential wording regarding historical and other events (“all” for “many; Holy “Spirit” for Holy “Ghost,” etc). But that began long ago in the Church, not the secular world and only accelerated with the false Vatican 2 council. The same can be said of certain pronunciations such as “pahpacy” rather than “paypacy,” first noticeable in the early days among LibTrads. The traditional pronunciation is the latter, as all dictionaries show. I consider it a form of disrespect to pronounce it otherwise.

Why do I bother trying to “interpret” it? Because young people genuinely seeking the truth are listening to her. Some of them are even Traditionalists, and yes, there are pray at home Catholics among her audience.  Owens claims to attend a Latin Mass, and yet we know the Mass ended long ago. She consults her “priests.” She complains of handlers, not realizing her own spiritual advisor is most likely one of them. She mentions CIA psychological warfare ops by name, but fails to mention the CIA’s “Psychological Strategy Plan for the Use of Doctrinal Warfare,” PSB D-33, launched June 29, 1953, on the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. The program goal was “to breakdown worldwide doctrinaire thought patterns…” and “foster a worldwide understanding and sympathetic acceptance of the traditions and viewpoints of America and the free world… paving the way from deviations from and schisms in totalitarian thought patterns.”  It was to be applied to a group “likely to include priests as commissars” (David Wemhoff, John Courtney Murray, Time/Life and the American Proposition, Ch. 33).

This was the prelude to Vatican 2, undertaken during the very year Pope Pius XII found himself near death’s door after being poisoned for months. Coincidence? I don’t think so.  This was the final blow, after decades of Modernist poison had coursed through the veins of the Church and Communists and Freemasons had infiltrated Her ranks. We know that the coming of Christ is near because we have seen all of the signs in Holy Scripture fulfilled.  The only way that the chaos and descent into the pit of depravity in the world today can possibly be explained is by admitting the Holy Sacrifice has ceased, and no longer can any reparation be made on earth for the sins of men. That explains all. But these pseudo-intellectuals want to entertain their own explanations, products of their own Godless minds, so lacking in discernment, true knowledge and spirituality.

Satan is most active now because he knows his time is short. He cannot escape the fact that Christ will come to end it all and send him back to hell forever, bringing to a close his failed attempt to destroy the last vestiges of the Church. For we must be those vestiges, and the only thing left for us to do now is to try and leave our children and grandchildren instructions on what they must believe and how they must conduct themselves after we are gone, at least as far as we are able to assemble them. We cannot anticipate every possible development, but we can give them the basics of the faith to cling to after we have left this earth.

Several years ago, I wrote When There Is No Priest, a Survival Guide for Remnant Catholics. It is in desperate need of updating, and on the request of readers I am slowly accomplishing this. Please review the contents page below and feel free to suggest in the comments section any additions, changes or corrections to any subject you feel should be included.  It is vital that this guide be complete, as a legacy to our children. Many on this site are in their 70s and even 80s. We are the ones who best remember what our Church once was, what She taught and what happened to Her in the 1960s. As Owens notes, the entire history of this country is being rewritten and omitted by the powers that be to introduce the age of Satan. We must do what we can, while we can, to see that a printed copy of the truth is available to all.

+Feast of the Epiphany+

For many years, every time I move the three kings to the front of the manger on the feast of the Epiphany, I remember the beautiful carol I sang in concert choir as a teenager. I have rarely heard it sung during the Christmas season, but it is a worthy tribute to the Christ Child.  The lyrics to this song, Three Kings, read as follows:

“Who knocks tonight so late?” the weary porter said.
Three kings stood at the gate, each with a crown on head.

The serving man bowed down, the Inn was full, he knew.
Said he, “In all this town is no fit place for you.”

A light in the manger lit; there lay the Mother meek.

This place is fit. Here is the rest we seek.

Come, come. They loosed their latchet strings, so stood they all unshod

“Come in, come in, ye kings, and kiss the feet of God.”

See the chorale performance of this lovely carol HERE.

Blessing for Catholic homes

There is also a ceremony originating from medieval times known as the chalking of the doors on Epiphany Day. To me this is an important annual practice, since it is the blessing of the home for the New Year, and recalls the marking of the doors at the time of Passover in the Old Testament. Ordinarily, we would have our parish priest bless our homes, but as pray-at-home Catholics this is not possible for us. The father of the family traditionally said the following prayers and gave the blessing even in previous times, once parishes became so large it was impractical for the pastor to visit every home.

It is our hope you will choose to protect your loved ones and invite the Christ Child into your home this year by saying the prayers below.

Epiphany Blessing

This ceremony of the blessing of the home and inscription of the initials of the three Magi above each door can be performed by the father of the family.

 Prayer: On entering the home,

 Leader: Peace be to this house.

 All: And to all who dwell herein.

 All: From the east came the Magi to Bethlehem to adore the Lord; and opening their treasures they offered precious gifts: gold for the great King, incense for the true God, and myrrh in symbol of His burial.

 All Pray: The Magnificat (Luke 1: 46-55)

My soul doth magnify the Lord.

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.

And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.

He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.

He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:

As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

All: From the east came the Magi to Bethlehem to adore the Lord; and opening their treasures they offered precious gifts: gold for the great King, incense for the true God, and myrrh in symbol of His burial.

 Leader: Our Father. . .And lead us not into temptation

 All: But deliver us from evil.

 Leader: All they from Saba shall come

 All: Bringing gold and frankincense.

 Leader: O Lord, hear my prayer.

 All: And let my cry come to You.

 Leader: Let us pray. O God, who by the guidance of a star didst on this day manifest Thine only-begotten Son to the Gentiles, mercifully grant that we who know Thee by faith may also attain the vision of Thy glorious majesty. Through Christ our Lord.

All: Amen.

 Leader: Be enlightened, be enlightened, O Jerusalem, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee—Jesus Christ born of the Virgin Mary.

 All: And the Gentiles shall walk in thy light and kings in the splendor of thy rising, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon thee.

 Leader: Let us pray.

Bless, + O Lord God almighty, this home, that in it there may be health, purity, the strength of victory, humility, goodness and mercy, the fulfillment of Thy law, the thanksgiving to God the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. And may this blessing remain upon this home and upon all who dwell herein. Through Christ our Lord.

 All: Amen.

 After the prayers of the blessing are recited, each room of the home may be incensed. The initials of the Magi are inscribed upon the doors with the blessed chalk. For this year write: 20 + C + M + B + 26. The initials, C, M, B (Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar) can also be interpreted as the Latin phrase “Christus mansionem benedicat” which means “Christ bless this house.” Regular chalk will do for writing the initials. Ask some sainted bishop to whom you are devoted to bless the chalk for you. We prefer St. Anthony Mary Claret.

+Feast of the Holy Innocents+

The following is an interesting post that gives statistics regarding the views of different sects on abortion. It becomes very clear early on what sects are promoting this atrocity in America. We are only a few days past the feast of the Holy Innocents and in their honor we wish to present this since these aborted souls are the “sacrifice” a wicked world offers to Moloch, just as the Holy Innocents were slaughtered to satisfy the jealousy of a power-mad god-emperor.

Wishing all a peaceful and blessed New Year, and may God soon come to punish the wicked and end this madness on earth.

The goal of this post is to highlight different views on personhood (when someone becomes a person), to encourage people to think about how these different views could create conflict, and to provide some discussion on whether, given the percentages, it is appropriate to use taxpayer money to fund abortions.

First it is interesting to note the differences between the beliefs of Catholics, most Protestants, most of those of the Hindu and Buddhist faiths (a fetus becomes a person at conception); many people of the Islamic faith (a fetus is not a person until it has a soul); and most people of the Jewish faith (a fetus is not a person until birth). Then the use of abortion as a ritual, as in the Satanic faith, creates another layer of complexity.

It is also fascinating to note that people of the Christian and Jewish faiths started with the same base belief system (both use the Old Testament of the Bible) and radically departed in their viewpoints on things like abortion when the Jews adopted the Talmud in the 3rd – 6th Centuries AD (CE).

Here are some summaries on how different religions, denominations, and sects view life and abortion.

When Fetus Becomes a Person Is Not Important (<1% U.S. Population)

Satanic

  • Abortion is a religious ritual.
  • The ritual involves the recitation of two of the Satanic Tenets and a personal affirmation that is ceremoniously intertwined with the abortion.

Unitarian Universalist

  • All individuals should have the autonomy to make decisions about their own bodies and reproductive health.
  • They affirm the right to choose abortion and advocate for reproductive justice, which includes access to safe, legal, and affordable abortion care.

Fetus is not a Person Until Birth (2% U.S. Population)

Jewish 

  • A fetus is not considered a person under Jewish law and therefore does not have the same rights as a person who is already alive.
  • Abortion is not only permitted but is required should the pregnancy endanger the life or health of the pregnant woman. “Health” is commonly interpreted to encompass psychological as well as physical health.
  • The Talmud says that the fetus is “mere water” before 40 days of gestation.
  • Jewish values compel full access to safe and legal abortion care as basic health care.

Fetus is a Person When it Gets a Soul (1.5% U.S. Population) 

Islam

  • Hanafi schools – Discuss abortion related to the timing of ensoulment, which Islamic scholars generally agree occurs at approximately 120 days post-conception. These scholars permit abortion up to 120 days.
  • Maliki schools – Strictly oppose any form of abortion once pregnancy commences.
  • Hanbali and Shafi’i schools – Have a blended view which allows abortion up to 40 days, primarily when justified by a pressing need.
  • After 120 days, abortion becomes impermissible across all schools of thought, except in situations where the mother’s life is endangered.

Fetus becomes a Person at Conception (66% U.S. Population) 

Buddhist

  • <1% U.S. population
  • Buddhism generally views abortion as a negative act, due to the principle of non-harming and the belief that life begins at conception.
  • Abortion is generally considered to create negative karma.

Catholic

  • 20% U.S. population
  • The Catholic Church unequivocally opposes abortion, teaching that it is a grave moral evil from the moment of conception.
  • The Church believes that human life is sacred and should be protected from conception until natural death.

Hindu 

  • 1% population in the U.S.
  • Abortion is generally viewed as a grave sin, primarily due to the principle of ahimsa (non-violence) and the belief that the soul enters the body at conception.
  • Abortion is a worse sin than killing one’s parents.

Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

  • 2% population in the U.S.
  • Believes in the sanctity of human life and opposes elective abortion for personal or social convenience, and counsels its members not to submit to, perform, encourage, pay for, or arrange for such abortions.
  • Exceptions are granted when the pregnancy results from rape or incest, when the life or health of the mother is in serious jeopardy, or when there will be severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth.

Protestants

Protestant – Assemblies of God

  • View the practice of abortion as evil.
  • Abortion is a morally unacceptable alternative for birth control, population control, sex selection, and elimination of the physically and mentally handicapped.

Protestant – Baptist

  • Southern Baptist Convention – This is the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. It has a strong stance against abortion, viewing it as “murder”.
  • American Baptist Churches USA – American Baptists oppose abortion, as a means of avoiding responsibility for conception, as a primary means of birth control, without regard for the far-reaching consequences of the act.

Protestant – Lutheran

  • Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) – Views the developing life in the womb as a “neighbor” and recognizes the moral agency of the pregnant person in making decisions about their pregnancy. Supports abortion access.
  • Missouri Synod (LCMS) – Views abortion as the taking of a human life, contrary to God’s Word so they oppose abortion. They believe abortion is not a moral option, except in rare cases where it is necessary to save the mother’s life.

Protestant – Methodist

  • United Methodist Church – Believes in the sanctity of unborn human life which makes us reluctant to condone abortion, but recognize that tragic conflicts of life may justify decisions to terminate the life of a fetus.
  • Global Methodist Church – Belief in the sacredness of all life compels them to resist the practice of abortion except in the cases of tragic conflicts of life against life when the wellbeing of the mother and the child are at stake.

Protestant – Presbyterian

  • Presbyterian Church in American (PCA) – Has a very strong stance against abortion, considering it the taking of a human life and therefore morally wrong. They believe that life begins at conception and that abortion is a violation of God’s law.
  • Evangelical Presbyterian (EPC) – Holds a pro-life stance on abortion, viewing it as the taking of a human life.
  • Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) – Believes abortion “is a matter of careful ethical decision” by each person and “should not be restricted by law.”

Obviously, there are some radical differences in how people view the world. Interestingly, the vast majority of people believe a fetus is a person at conception. Given this information, should we have laws that allow taxpayer dollars to be used for abortion?

May the Infant King reign in our hearts this Christmas and always

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.
