(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.

January, Month of the Holy Name of Jesus
Prayers Society Intention
“Oh Jesus, do Thou save me for Thy holy name’s sake.” (Raccolta)
+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?

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:

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!
