Prayer Society Intention for May, Month of the Blessed Virgin Mary

“Most loving Mother, consider the cruel warfare waged by the world the flesh and the devil against our souls and see how many are perishing in the strife… Deign to pray for us without ceasing to the Blessed Trinity that we may have the grace to be ever victorious over the devil.” (The Raccolta)

Introduction

In the blog HERE, we wrote the following on who might become the next Roman usurper once Francis met his Maker.  Readers may wish to review what we said, but the gist of it is repeated below.

It is likely Francis’ “successor” will make it appear that the Novus Ordo church is rejecting the changes and returning to its previous pre-Vatican 2 position, similar to what Pres. Trump says he is doing with this country. It will be a seduction so convincing, so diabolically clever that many LibTrads will “return” to this church, believing — as they have been falsely led to believe through private revelation and their pseudo-clergy — that this is the promised restoration of the true Church. Those who refuse to buy into it will be persecuted at some point. The Latin Mass of St. Pius V may appear to return, and all the sacramental rites could be “restored” to their previous forms. After all, isn’t it said that appearances are everything?

But the Mass, the Sacraments, the sacramentals — NONE OF THESE COULD EVER BE VALID AGAIN WITHOUT A CANONICALLY ELECTED POPE, impossible to obtain since the death of Pope Pius XII.  So it will cost the usurpers nothing to appear to make such concessions. This is the only way the enemies of the Church can make it appear the Mass and a falsified “return to Tradition” could cease when political antichrist comes. This cessation will convince the world he is the true antichrist, not Paul 6, for the worldly do not take the spiritual nature of Scripture into account. Political antichrist, long anticipated by the Protestants,  will then be seen as the one who abolishes the mass and destroys Rome, when it was long ago destroyed dogmatically and spiritually. And this will be the greatest and final deception. In fact, preparation for this event has been underway for some time now.

For the past two years, articles have been circulating on the internet that the Novus Ordo is already preparing for such a shift. A January 2025 report claims the return is prompted by “a perceived dilution of doctrine,” noting that new NO clergy are suddenly more orthodox and desire a return to the Church’s ancient roots (see HERE). In another essay on why “the Latin Mass is returning” (March 2023 article HERE), one can find two-years-worth of articles covering how one is to make this shift, why, dress at mass, conduct, history, etc., a rather remarkable effort to facilitate such a “return.” An April 2024 Associated Press article HERE announces “an immense shift” toward the old ways.

Kingly candidates 

So it certainly seems that a brainwashing-style build-up has taken place already to justify such a reintroduction of the “old ways,” even though this may result in a loss of progressives. As always, the focus is on the liturgy, not the papacy. As long as the ritual trappings are properly replicated and the appearances of what once was are in place, (if a “conservative” is elected as the next usurper), LibTrads will be properly mollified and will happily go on about their simulated existence. While it cannot be stated with any certainty that the next imposter elected will take the “old school” route, several conservative “cardinals” are in the running and a few of them are mentioned below.

Raymond Burke, 76, United States — A well-known conservative, Burke has criticized Francis repeatedly for his stance on divorce and remarriage. Appointed “cardinal” by Benedict 16,  he is popular among the recognize and resist faction.

Peter Erdo, 72, Hungary —This man has criticized Francis for his teaching on divorce and immigration. He comes from Josef Cardinal Mindszenty’s Hungary, always a more conservative-minded country.

Robert Sarah, 79, Guinea — Some call Sarah a “conservatives’ fantasy candidate,” an all-out champion of doctrinal and liturgical issues and an outspoken Francis critic. Media speculators note that the election of a black pope would make it more difficult for liberals to object to such a “return to Tradition.”

Of course the false election could also produce a moderate or yet another progressive such as Francis just as easily. If this occurs, especially in the case of a progressive, then it is likely that a split might take place. This given the trending “return to Tradition” and the adamant opponents of Francis, who have been agitating against his policies for the past decade. What all believe to be the Catholic Church could then appear to sport two or even three “popes,” (sedevacantists might join in), creating a chaotic situation that would serve the enemy just as well. Watch for dramatic twists and turns, as portrayed in the offensive movie-doc Conclave, since such productions also “prepare” audiences for unexpected outcomes contrary to Catholic doctrine and practice. A terrorist attack could occur, but more likely this event will be saved for later in the game, when Rome is physically destroyed.

Mass deception

We have gone into great detail HERE to explain why the Mass cannot be considered valid outside the guardianship and protection of a canonically elected Roman Pontiff. In Mediator Dei, Pope Pius XII taught: “The entire liturgy has the Catholic Faith for its content…it bears public witness to the faith of the Church. For this reason whenever there was a question of defining a truth revealed by God, the Sovereign Pontiff and the Councils, in their recourse to ‘theological sources,’ as they are called, have not seldom drawn many an argument from this sacred science of the Liturgy…The rule for prayer determines the rule for belief.’ [However] the Sacred Liturgy does not decide or determine independently and of itself what is of Catholic Faith… If one desires to differentiate and described the relationship between faith and the Sacred Liturgy in absolute and general terms, it is perfectly correct to say… ‘let the rule of belief determine the rule of prayer…

“The Sacred Liturgy does include Divine as well as human elements. The former, instituted as they have been by God, cannot be changed in any way by men… The Sovereign Pontiff alone enjoys the right to recognize and establish any practice touching the worship of God, to introduce and approve new rites, as also to modify those he judges to require modification… No private person has any authority to regulate external practices of this kind, which are intimately bound up with Church discipline and with the order, unity and concord of the Mystical Body, and frequently even with the integrity of Catholic faith itself.’”  Here we see that Pope Pius XII deliberately reversed the “Lex orandi, lex credendi” touted by the liturgists to prove a point: Catholic doctrine stands outside and above the liturgy. The changing of “for many” to “for all” certainly was invalid, for those usurpers reigning after Pope Pius XII’s death were mere men, having been ipso facto excommunicated, disqualified for any office and invalidly elected according to the Sacred Canons.

The inexcusable and criminal refusal to abide by Vacantis Apostolicae Sedis and declare the “election” of Angelo Roncalli invalid as well as all subsequent “elections” was deliberate and pre-arranged. It was carefully orchestrated under the guise of the liturgical renewal movement as explained in previous blogs. It was the culmination of centuries of planning by secret societies to overthrow Catholic monarchies and finally the papacy. It was the Reformers who first discovered the perfect distraction — abolish the authority of the papacy, then introduce the slogan “It is the Mass that matters.” In other words, reduce the faith to its liturgical expression. That slogan was the hue and cry of what became the Anglican Church once Henry VIII became its head. Those who failed to study papal encyclicals and Catholic history were then doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Pro-Tridentine Mass literature condemning the liturgical innovations flooded what passed for Traditional Catholic media from the mid-1960s on and continues to this day. Likewise the obsession with what goes on in the apostate halls of the Vatican, with the day-to-day rundown of new blasphemies and sacrileges introduced by the usurpers, accompanied by mock horror and a wringing of hands. We expect evil to be any less terrifying?? And the controversy continues over “teachings” of the false Vatican 2 council as well, with trusted “experts” pointing out and debating its various errors and heresies. What has worked for the enemy in the secular press works just as well in what is passed off as the Catholic press. Keep those trying to figure things out embroiled in controversy, constantly arguing with each other, battling over scandalous “clergy,” perpetually splitting off into dissident sects. That way no one will ever know that the answer all along was very simple, if very sad; one that would resolve all questions and end all divisions. The great deception must continue, to serve and fund the deceivers.

The truth that sets us free

Following only the teachings of the Roman Pontiffs, we can breathe a sigh of relief and escape the cacophony created by “the rulers of this world of darkness, spirits of evil.” When we once accept the infallible truth that no man who is a heretic (or suspected heretic) pre-election could ever become pope (Cum ex Apostolatus Officio, Pope Paul IV), that no true pope could ever speak heresy on matters of faith, morals or discipline, (The Vatican Council, 1869-70), and that no one may usurp papal jurisdiction or change Canon Law in any way during an interregnum, then we have our answers.

1. Angelo Roncalli was a suspected heretic pre-election and a confirmed heretic post-election; he never became pope. None of his acts were valid or could ever become valid.
2. The 1958 college of cardinals was disqualified from ever electing another pope (Can. 2391§1).
3. Ergo:

• Vatican 2 never happened
• All following “popes” were usurpers
• No one ordained contrary to Canon Law or consecrated outside papal jurisdiction without the papal mandate ever became members of the clergy.
• We are forbidden to consider them validly ordained and consecrated under pain of excommunication (denying the authority of the Roman Pontiff to so declare them and assisting them in their crimes.)
• We cannot and must not attend their sacrilegious services.
• We must never allow ourselves to be contaminated with the false propaganda spread by those who, failing to consider the truths above, consistently attempt to draw us into debates and media hype; refuse to accept papal teaching; destroy our peace, obfuscate the facts and attempt to divide us or doubt our position.

We have stepped outside of the infernal Satanic circle surrounding the pentagram and they hate us for it. We have refused to join hands with them in their evil enterprises. We have aligned ourselves with Christ and His vicars alone, St. Peter to Pope Pius XII, and we will not be moved. We have fled to the desert of prayer and sacrifice, penance for our sins and any good works we can perform. We are not lonely or alone here, for Our Lord and His Blessed Mother, our Guardian Angels, are ever at our side. We await the coming of Our Lord, the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Christ has risen, but the Passion of the Church continues

That early father of the Church, St. Cyprian wrote: “Most of the bishops… set over the Lord’s churches throughout the world, hold to the method of evangelical truth and of the Lord’s tradition, and depart not by any human and novel institution, from that which Christ our master both taught and did…The Will of God is what Christ has done and taught,”(Faith of Catholics, Vol. 1, Msgr. Capel, editor). Likewise the Asiatic bishops, commenting on the approbation of the canonical books of Scripture, stated that: “As, on this principle of what Christ had done and taught, the writings of which we are speaking were admitted as sacred and divine…” (Ibid). So what aspects of Christ’s Passion and death on the Cross have the faithful today been asked to mirror, to “…fill up what is wanting to the Passion of Christ”?

On Palm Sunday, Christ wept over Jerusalem, prior to casting the money changers from the Temple (Luke 19:41). This just after His disciples declared him a king. Today we weep over the abomination of desolation standing in the Holy Place, the See of Rome desecrated in large part by the world’s money changers who became intimately involved in Vatican finances, thanks to Montini (Paul 6). This following an era where the dogma of Christ reigning as King had been widely proclaimed. And what Jesus predicted of Jerusalem in Luke Ch. 19 is a harbinger of what also will happen to Rome for this transgression:

“If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace; but now they are hidden from thy eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side,  And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee: and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation” (Luke 19: 42-44). For the destruction of Rome likewise is foretold in Apoc. 18, v. 2, 21: “And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen; and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every unclean spirit, and the hold of every unclean and hateful bird:  Because all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth have been made rich by the power of her delicacies… And a mighty angel took up a stone, as it were a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying: With such violence as this shall Babylon, that great city, be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.”

Christ was betrayed by Judas, holder of the common purse and nephew of Caiphas, just as Montini betrayed Pope Pius XII by introducing his friend Michele Sindona into the management of the Church’s funds. This allowed the Sicilian Mafiosa Sindona to eventually use the Church’s monies from charitable donations for money laundering purposes. Francis Cardinal Spellman and the Knights of Malta (SMOM) were reportedly involved in this affair. This mingling of the sacred with the profane began when Montini was appointed Bishop of Milan, after losing his position as Pope Pius XII’s pro-secretary and forfeiting Pope Pius XII’s endorsement as cardinal. Later Sindona played a major role in the Church’s finances under Montini as “pope,” beginning in the spring of 1969. In exiting the Novus Ordo following the introduction of the “new mass” that same year, the faithful were, in a sense, casting the money changers from the Temple. The Sindona/P2 scandal would not erupt, however, until the 1970s, after Sindona’s manipulation of finances left the Church nearly bankrupt.

The betrayal of the faithful by their own pastors began with the Modernist clergy electing Angelo Roncalli, just as the apostles fled from the scene at the beginning of the Passion. And as the most recent blog on the infiltration of Traditionalist ranks in Mexico and the U.S. explained earlier this month, Masonic forces were working to set up the Traditionalist movement even before Roncalli’s election. Christ was betrayed by them just as we have been betrayed. Jesus was tried before the Sanhedrin and those running the Novus Ordo and other non-Catholic organizations have tried us in the court of public opinion, branding us as “radical Traditionalists.” The same charges have been laid against us as were laid against Our Lord: we are uneducated, insane, liars, and cult members, this for championing the never-changing Catholic truths we hold and present.

We follow all the popes, Christ’s own appointed vicars, and everything they taught, as the expression of God’s will. Christ frequently acknowledged He who sent Him, God the Father, announcing: “I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6: 38). This was the same Father whom the Jews professed to reverence and obey, the God of Israel. But in reality, the Jews answered only to the Sanhedrin, God being left out of the equation. They did their own will, not God’s. They had long ago murdered their own prophets. They willfully ignored all the prophecies pointing to Jesus as the Messiah, for they wanted an earthly king, and He did not suit their needs. Nor do we suit the needs of LibTrads who wish only to belong to a visible, earthly church, one of their own making, not God’s. We point out inconvenient truths and demand they obey the popes and Canon Law, something they have no intention of doing.

Conclusion

We are considered an embarrassment and are treated as fools and outcasts, just as Our Lord was treated. And so we march to Calvary willingly bearing our crosses, and one day, when persecution reaches its heighth, some of us, at least, expect to die there. The rest of us will die as white martyrs if, God willing, we can keep the faith in these pagan times. We accept the loss of the papacy and the Mass as God’s will, prophesied in Holy Scripture and taught by the popes, and offer it up as a penance for our many sins. The theologian John-Pierre de Caussade warns about advising others to follow certain forms of spirituality, maintaining that self-abandonment to God’s will, to the present moment alone is suitable for all souls wishing to find their proper spiritual state. He emphasizes that, “The great and firm foundation of the spiritual life is the offering of ourselves to God and being subject to His will in all things” (Abandonment to Divine Providence).

Pope Pius XII wrote in Mediator Dei: “The people must offer themselves as victims…This offering is not in fact confined merely to the liturgical Sacrifice. For the Prince of the Apostles wishes us, as Living Stones built upon Christ the cornerstone, to be able ‘as a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ,’” (I Peter 2: 5). And so we offer ourselves as victims of the Father’s will, who sent Christ to save us; and to the will of Our Lord, eternal victim and true head of His Church. We have no Mass but God will accept pir spiritual sacrifices. We may often call out, “My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” but we know the answer: only prayer and the sacrifice of our own will can move God’s heart to have mercy on such an evil generation. In the words of Rev. Caussade:

“Since the world began, its history is nothing but the account of the campaign waged by the powers of the world and the Princes of hell against the humble souls who love God… Monster follows monster and the abyss engulfs them and spews them forth again amidst the incessant clouds of smoke… All these monsters come into the world only to stimulate the courage of the children of God and when they have finished their training, God allows them to slay the monster. A new monster appears and God summons fresh warriors into the arena. Our life here is a spectacle which makes heaven rejoice, rears up saints and confounds hell. And so all that opposes the rule of God only succeeds in making it more worthy to be adored. All the enemies of justice become its slaves and God builds the heavenly Jerusalem with the fragments of Babylon the destroyed.”

The seventh king may come; Babylon the Great will eventually fall. But God has reserved a place in Heaven for those who love Him enough to suffer, fight and die for Him.
