+++ 70. The Sixth Big Problem With Ignorance: +++
What’s So ‘Unnatural’ (Per Modernists)
About
Natural Law?
We’re ready to tackle the sixth big problem
with ‘salvation-through-ignorance’.
A problem which, in mirror
image, modernists have, too.
Except for them, the problem is that such a thing
exists and destroys their conception of how the idea of
‘religion’ is supposed to work, something
they very much don’t want to happen. That is to say, the
modernist wants everyone to believe that it doesn’t matter which religion
you believe… unless, of course, the religion you believe in teaches,
contrarily, that it really does matter
what religion you profess, and that
it’s true.
Per the modernist, this is a bad thing to believe.
Whereas, for real Catholics, the problem is that
such a thing exists and destroys the modernist conception of how
‘religion’ works --- a
modernist thinking that relegates every traditional religion to, at
best, the status of ‘equivalency’, or, at worst, irrelevance
& ‘superstition’ --- something real & wise Roman Catholics very much crave and
greatly yearn for everyone to know so
that, in the end, the tyrannical rule of the Religion of Modernism can,
indeed, be completely destroyed and eradicated everlastingly from
the face of this fallen, rebellious & sin-ridden earth.
That, dear reader, is
the power of a mere ‘idea’.
It’s also what makes modern people hate the
Religion of Catholicism… yet which dangerous, thus very ‘bad’
and hence quite anti-modern idea
do we speak of?
The teaching of the Law of Natural Reason, a law
that Roman Catholics have always believed --- whatever, exactly, you call it
--- is, most literally, written upon
the hearts of all human beings of sound intelligence, all over the
world, in every place, at all times, and regardless of how they grow up or what
they know to start with during their mortal lives.
As
“For when the Gentiles
[specifically, those who didn’t belong to the Old Testament
Church, and, metaphorically, any human beings who are not yet Roman Catholic],
who have not heard the law,
do by nature those things that are of
the law [that belong to the
law, this law referring both to the Law of Moses and the Law of Christ, since Jesus did
indeed teach His Own Unique Law, as
St. Paul mentions plainly in 1 Corinthians 9:21 and Galatians 6:2]; these having not the law are a law
to themselves: who shew [show, make manifest] the work of the law WRITTEN
IN THEIR HEARTS, their conscience bearing witness to them, and their
thoughts between themselves [i.e., conflicts] accusing, or also
defending one another…” (Romans 2:14-15 DRC)
Which is why he says to
Catholics in the Diocese of Rome, a chapter earlier:
“For the wrath of God is revealed from
heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth [hide the
truth] of God in injustice [sin]: because
that which is known of God
[known about God] is manifest in them [made clear inside themselves].
For God hath [has] manifested
it unto them. For the invisible things
of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that
are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are INEXCUSABLE.”
(Romans 1:18-20 DRC)
Are you beginning to fathom the truth, my
precious soul?
God makes it impossible
to escape Catholicism.
No matter where you are or what you do, no matter how you start out
or what you grow up with or where you go in this universe… IF you have an intelligent mind,
then you cannot escape the
teachings of His One & Only ROMAN
CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Divinely accentuated
punctuation of finality.
+++ 71. How Can They Know If They Haven’t
Heard? +++
This, indeed, is what the Catholic theologians of
old were talking about when they affirmed the perennial teaching of the
Church that, for people of sound mind, the Roman Catholic Faith of Jesus
Christ during New Testament times is always
absolutely necessary to know, lest the Just Wrath of God come upon you
in the end.
I.e., lest you suffer hell forevermore.
This is the imperative of Catholic Missions.
This is why
the Catholic Church has always striven, with utmost urgency, to send missionaries
of the True Faith to all intelligent human beings everywhere in the world --- to tell them the saving truth about God’s
Singular Roman Catholic Religion.
Lest anyone die, being sound of mind, visibly outside the Church and go to
hell.
For, while any intelligent human being has the Law of Natural
Reason written upon his or her heart, how many of us are of good will and
gladly cooperate with that divinely engraved testimony, seeking
His One True Religion with tenacity?
Hardly any of us. Yet does this lazy ignorance take us off the
hook?
No, because we should have tried, having,
at least, the bare minimum necessary in our hearts & minds to galvanize
us --- if we have good will --- to seek
for the truth about our existence and why we are here, living
intelligences trapped in feeble corrupted bodies. Hence why the Church, in deep love for human souls, sends messengers
to tell us!
These messengers are sometimes God’s answer
to those good-willed human beings cooperating with the natural law in their
hearts, and trying to find out Who He is and who they are, begging for His
Saving Truth. And sometimes these messengers are God’s Mercy, giving
bad-willed human beings a chance regardless of their cold hearts.
In either case, Catholic Missions is the essence of Divine
Love.
Which is why
“How then shall they call on him, in
whom they have not believed? Or how
shall they believe him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without a preacher?
And how shall they preach unless they be sent, as it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the gospel of peace [i.e., peace between God and human beings, not ‘world’ or ‘social’ peace, which
is what Novus Ordoists like to spin it into], of them
that bring glad tidings [good news, the meaning of the word
‘gospel’] of good things!’ [Isaias
(Isaiah) 52:7 & Nahum 1:15]” (Romans 10:14-15 DRC)
+++ 72. Can’t I Be Saved If I Don’t
Know? +++
But again, doesn’t this let us off the hook
when we’ve never heard about Roman Catholicism or grew up being taught
to vehemently mock it or hate it?
Which is why
“Faith then cometh [comes or arrives] by hearing;
and hearing by the word of Christ [Jesus’ Roman Catholic
Religion]. But I say: Have they not
heard? Yes, verily
[truly], ‘their sound hath gone forth into all the earth [has gone
out everywhere], and their words
unto the ends of the whole world [to the places farthest from where I
am on earth].’ [Psalm 18:5]” (Romans 10:17-18 DRC)
Once more, Paul refers to the Law of Natural
Reason “written upon their
hearts” (Romans 2:15 DRC), when he says --- in response to his
rhetorical question of “But I say: Have
they not heard?” --- “Yes,
verily [truly], ‘their sound
hath gone forth into all the earth… their words unto the ends of the
whole world.’” (Romans 10:18 DRC)
The Holy Ghost inspired truth is there, in
our hearts, written by the Finger of God.
Ignorance and prejudice are no excuse for intelligent human beings.
Find this hard to believe? Yet insist on calling
yourself ‘catholic’?
Let us review the theological testimony we saw in
Chapter 42:
“Still we answer the Semi-Pelagians [a type of heretic during the 1st
millennium], and say that infidels
[people without the Catholic Faith] who arrive at the use of reason
[are no longer small children and old enough to start thinking for
themselves], and are not converted to the [Catholic] Faith, cannot be excused, because
though they do not receive sufficient proximate grace [grace that is all around
you and obvious, such as what people raised in good Catholic countries would
have by virtue of the Catholic testimony all around them], still they are not deprived of remote grace, as
a means of becoming converted. But what is this remote grace? St. Thomas [Aquinas] explains it, when he
says that if anyone was brought up in the wilds, or even among brute
beasts, and if he followed the law of natural reason, to desire what
is good, and to avoid what is wicked, we should certainly believe either that God, by an internal
inspiration [an inspiration of the heart or mind], would reveal to him
what he should believe, or would send someone to preach the
[Catholic] Faith to him, as [just like] he sent Peter [the first pope] to
Cornelius [a Roman commander first converted to the Old Testament Religion
before becoming a Roman Catholic --- see Acts 10 in the Bible]. Thus,
then, according to the Angelic Doctor [St. Thomas Aquinas, see the quote just
below], God, at least remotely, gives to infidels [those who aren’t
Catholic], who have the use of reason,
sufficient grace to obtain salvation
[enough grace to become Catholic and die in the state of grace], and
this grace consists in a certain instruction of the mind, and in a movement
of the will, to observe the natural law [the basic law of
religion & morality that God places in every person’s heart
who has the use of reason and whether or not he’s Catholic to
start with]; and if the
infidel cooperates with this movement, observing the precepts of
the law of nature, and abstaining from grievous sins, he will certainly receive, through
the merits of Jesus Christ, the grace proximately sufficient to
embrace the [Catholic] Faith, and [thus] save his soul.” (St. Alphonsus Liguori’s
The History of Heresies, Refutation
6, No. 11. All emphasis & annotations added.)
As well:
“Objection: It is possible that someone may be brought up in the forest, or
among wolves; such a man cannot explicitly know anything about the
[Catholic] faith… Reply [the
objection rebutted and answered correctly]: It is the characteristic of
Divine Providence to provide every man with what is necessary for salvation…
provided on his part there is no
hindrance. In the case of a man
who seeks good and shuns evil, by the leading of natural
reason, God would either reveal to
him through internal inspiration what had to be believed, or would send
some preacher of the [Catholic] faith to him…” (St. Thomas Aquinas’ Quaestiones Disputatae de Veritate,
Question 14, Article 11. Emphases & annotations added.)
+++ 73. So Ignorance of Catholicism, for Sound
+++
Minds, Really Is Hell Forever
If They Die in
That Ignorance…
Isn’t It?
The sincere reader now slumps chilled, chastened,
sad and sober, asking seriously:
“So ignorance of Roman Catholicism, for people with sound
minds, really is the same as being damned in hell forever
when these people die in that ignorance… isn’t it?”
To which we reply with tears in our eyes:
“Yes, it is.”
As Jesus said:
“Enter ye [all of you] in at the narrow
gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth [leads] to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat [many people go in
by that wide and easy entrance to eternal death]. How narrow is the
gate, and strait [narrow & difficult] is the way that leadeth to life: and
few there are that find it [relatively small amounts of people go
in by the narrow & difficult entrance leading to an everlasting abode in
Heaven].”
(Matthew 7:13-14 DRC)
This is one of the ‘hard’ sayings of
Jesus. That is, difficult to hear.
Because if you don’t want to believe in
Jesus & His Catholicism, then this reminds you of the terrible fate of hell
awaiting you at the end of your life, when you die not being Catholic. Or, even
when believing in Catholicism, you read this divine quote, and it reminds you
of all of the people who aren’t Roman Catholic --- perhaps people close
to you in this life --- making you sad and heartbroken. It especially crushes
your heart when you think of how wicked this world is, being in the midst of
the Great Apostasy, and know that hardly anyone is left on earth who is truly & really Roman Catholic.
Will Jesus find “faith” on earth when
He returns? (Luke 18:18 DRC)
And yet it’s true.
The evidence makes it plain.
Hardly anyone today is still Catholic, despite
all those (and they are few when compared to the whole
world’s gargantuan population!) who still insist on calling themselves
‘catholic’ while denying the Salvation Dogma and the real reason
for Missions.
The Church has never taught us otherwise; it is they who wander astray.
They, like most, prefer the wide & broad road
to “destruction”.
They, like most, hate the narrow & difficult
road to “life”.
Our time is a horrible time of lawlessness and
sin.
“Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there
come a REVOLT FIRST [a Rebellion against God happens prior
to the end of our world], and the man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition [a man of hell], who opposeth
[opposes], and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped, so that he sitteth [sits, like a king on his throne] in
the temple of God, shewing himself [showing
himself, and therefore pretending] AS IF HE WERE GOD.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 DRC)
+++ 74. Why Are We So Worried? +++
And so we turn to rather apocalyptic
considerations.
It’s amazing, in a godless world, how much godless
people are obsessed with
‘apocalyptic’ or ‘post-apocalyptic’ scenarios in the
last fifty years.
One only has to think of all the Hollywood-type
movies in the last three decades that imagine less than cuddly futures for the
human race; or of how uptight people got about the year 2000 and
‘Y2K’; or of how many people anticipated with fear and trepidation
--- or at least with the utmost gravity --- the Mayan calendrical
cycle completed on the winter solstice (December 21st) of the rather
curious year, AD 2012.
Why are humans --- especially where we live ---
so worried?
What are we afraid of?
From a wise Catholic point of view, the rejoinder
is simple.
We’re in full scale Rebellion against God. We can’t admit it --- and maybe
many of us are clueless (but not
inculpably so) --- but we know
we deserve punishment for our sins. Consequently, we conjure up all kinds of
bogies to provide modern ‘reasons’ for our fear of punishment. That
is to say, we know, deep down, how we deserve to suffer terribly for our
“revolt”. (2 Thessalonians 2:3a DRC) But we can’t
admit that it’s for our sins against a Roman Catholic God.
Ergo, we must find other, less overtly religious, ‘reasons’ for why terrible things are going to
happen, and so many of us are going to die. Not that these other
‘reasons’ can’t be legitimate worries in and of
themselves… instead, that these
worries merely ‘paper over’ the hidden & most profound
reason we’re upset:
Because we are horrendous sinners, reject Roman Catholicism entirely,
and we deserve nothing but to suffer
terribly and die in the most tragic or awful of ways.
I beg the sensitive reader’s pardon for
‘alarming’ or ‘harsh-sounding’ words.
I don’t mean to be flamboyant or
sensationalistic.
Howsoever, I cannot be a Catholic apologist of
good conscience and refrain from going where the Infallible Testimony of the
Church and most excellent evidence of research --- along with clear, valid
& lucid logic --- lead me. I must be true
to Roman Catholic doctrine and honest about our present world’s
visible & earthly facts.
Which is why I tell you,
precious soul, that we’re living through the Apocalypse (the book of
Revelation in Protestant bibles) of
Literally.
Oh, I know.
It’s de
rigueur to say, amongst supposed ‘catholics’ and (maybe) real
Catholics of the past century, “How can you know the Great Apostasy and
the Apocalypse is happening this very moment? What if things get even worse
in the future? Don’t count your chickens before the eggs hatch!”
This line of caution, though, only works for so
long.
At some point, in all honesty and with all intelligence,
we have to acknowledge the real, hard, solid, and inarguable evidence and say:
“Indeed, yes. We really are
in the most wicked of times. We really can’t say this period of
time doesn’t equal --- when you do
your homework, intensely studying both Sacred Scripture and Tradition ---
or exceed, the evil, rebellion
and outright apostasy of St. Noe’s time before
humanity suffered the Flood and God washed our world clean.”
Almost --- but not quite --- end of sentence.
+++ 75. An Oceanic Beast?
+++
(Solipsistically Divine
Pretensions)
We’ve already seen, in the scriptural quote
at the end of Chapter 73 above, how
This is flabbergasting to the humble and
thoughtful Catholic.
Who could be so proud, who would be so wicked?
Yet is this not the hallmark of our era?
Are we not each of us today individual religious
authorities unto our own selves?
I.e., do not people today act like they are
‘god’, do they not dare to appropriate unto themselves the
‘right’ to believe and live however they please, to change
former laws and defy ancient customs as they see fit… even go so
far as to proclaim that they are ‘god’ and can make
the ‘reality’ of our world into anything they want it to be?
Think about it.
Do we not live by the Modern Creed of ‘do whatever you want to do’?
With the strangely strict, and plainly contradictory
proviso, of course, that, when doing
whatever you want, you nonetheless must never dare to want to deny
this imperative Creed of Modernism and say, instead, ‘do only as
Our Creator commands’?
It reminds one of Lucifer (the Devil) in Heaven,
trying to take God’s Throne and fight a losing battle amongst the stars
till he and his cohorts (a “third” of the angels in the Bible,
Apocalypse [Revelation] 12:4 DRC; see, too, what Isaias
[Isaiah] 14:12-14 has to say about Satan’s horrendous plunge from the
summit of pride) are cast to the earth.
It reminds one, too, of the
As we noted near the close of Chapter 12,
regarding a pure solipsism:
The destiny of modern humanity, left unimpeded, is an utterly inverted
Platonism and Berkeleian-imagined type of
‘perception’, ending --- with mirror-like infinite regression of a
god-like type of consciousness, gazing narcissistically and endlessly at
ourselves, staring at our own existential navels, as it were --- in eventual self-deification.
Which means?
Very simple, my dear reader.
The Beast arises out of the Sea. (Apocalypse
12:17-13:10)
+++ 76. An Oceanic Beast?
+++
(The Parable Connection)
What is this dangerous and serpentine
“beast”, and how are we little human beings supposed to comprehend
the mysterious scriptural testimony about some bizarre creature --- “a
beast” --- who comes “…up out of the
sea…”? (Apocalypse 13:1 DRC)
Recollect that Jesus always spoke in
“parables” to the people when He was on earth. (Matthew
13:13 DRC. See Matthew 13:10-17 for the whole context.) A parable, by
the way, is a story… but a story
with a lesson, for he or she who has the ability to understand the purpose of the tale. Recollect, as
well, that it is Jesus Who is revealing to St. John the Evangelist, here
in the enigmatic Apocalypse, what we read about “…a beast coming up
out of the sea…” right after we read, two verses earlier, how
“…the dragon was angry against the woman…”
(Apocalypse 13:1a, 12:17a DRC)
Now, why in the world would Jesus speak in parables to those
who listen, why would He hide their meaning from the people at large and
why would He tell these parables… these stories of His with a
lesson… when no one seems to understand them in the first
place?
What is the purpose?
Jesus Himself gives us the answer via St. Matthew
in his Gospel:
“All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes
[to the huge crowds who listened to Him]: and
without parables he did not
speak to them. That it might be fulfilled [that] which was spoke by the
prophet, saying: ‘I will open my
mouth in parables, I
will utter things hidden from the foundation [beginning] of the world.’
[Psalm 77:2]” (Matthew 13:34-35 DRC)
And Matthew refers to Christ making the same
point earlier in the chapter:
“And his disciples came and said to him
[Jesus’ students and loyal followers asked Him the following question]: ‘Why speakest
thou to them in parables [why do you always talk to these huge crowds
with stories that, while interesting and entertaining, they can’t
seem to understand and usually don’t ever comprehend]?’
(Matthew 13:10 DRC)
A question Jesus did not duck or refuse to
address.
“Who answered [Jesus gave them this
response]: ‘Because to you [my students and
followers] it is given to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but
to them [the crowds] it is not given
[most of the crowd are not meant to
comprehend or understand the majority of what Jesus teaches]. For he that hath [has], to him shall be given, and he shall abound
[every person who is rich in the correct understanding of
God’s True Religion will be given even more comprehension of His
Religion beyond what he has already… much more!]: but he that hath not [the person
who has very little knowledge of God’s Church and doesn’t
care that he’s ignorant about Catholicism], from him shall be taken
away that also which he hath [the very little
comprehension he has about the Church of Rome won’t stay with him…
even that little bit of understanding
about Catholicism will be taken from him and lost forever!].’”
(Matthew 13:11-12 DRC)
Yet is this all Jesus has to say about this
mystifying topic?
We delve further into His own
words:
“Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, NEITHER DO THEY UNDERSTAND.
And the prophecy of Isaias [Isaiah] is fulfilled
in them, who saith [says]: ‘By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive. For the heart of this people is
grown gross [coarse, disgusting and evil], and with their ears
they have been dull of hearing [hard of hearing], and their eyes
they have shut [so that, while able to see, they nevertheless
purposely choose NOT TO USE THE EYES they have to look & see for themselves]:
lest at any time they should see with
their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their
heart, AND BE CONVERTED, and I should heal them [and I, the Almighty
Creator speaking through My prophet, Isaias, would forgive
them for their transgressions].’ [Isaias
6:9-10]” (Matthew 13:13-15 DRC)

(No Escaping Natural Reason Unscathed)
Is it beginning to sink in, dear soul?
The Triune God of the Roman Catholic Church --- the One True Creator of all that
exists out of nothing, including us, mere human beings and little mortal
creatures that we are, but formed in His Holy Image --- grants to every human person of sound mind
the chance to hear and see and understand His Unparalleled Purpose for our
existence. A Sacred Purpose so very intricately interwoven and astonishingly
entwined with the beautiful, vast and infinite fabric, as it were, of His Own
Divine Being.
Which is why He made us to look
like Him.
He gave us intelligent
minds and the perilous power of individual
wills that, while corralled within rational and intrinsic limitations,
we are, nonetheless, ultimately free
to choose between that which is true and that which is false,
between that which is good and that which is evil, between that
which is holy and obedient and leads to everlasting life and that which
is wicked and rebellious and leads to neverending
death.
A choice that, if we choose
freely & intelligently for Him, makes us one
with Him.
Or that, if we choose freely & irrationally against
Him, makes us separate from Him.
In either case, God foreknows --- via His Omniscience (All-Knowingness), and He not
bound by, or subject to, the dimension of time --- which human beings will choose for Him and which of us will choose against Him. He knows our outcome from eternity. From
the beginning He knows who will
belong to Him and who will not.
All the while His Divine Love has no limits despite our evil
inclinations.
None of us deserve His Mercy. Most of us will
refuse to cooperate. Notwithstanding, God Almighty makes sure each of us, of
sound mind, has the Law of Natural
Reason within his or her heart, compelling
us to seek for the truth and to do that which is good. In this way, no human being of intelligence can
stand before Him at Judgment and accuse God of being
‘unfair’… of having given him or her, the creature made in
God’s Image, no real chance to find Him and figure out that He created us
to be Roman Catholic.
For the proud rebel, this Law of Natural Reason will condemn him.
For the humble servant, the same Law will exonerate him.
Whilst for both, it reveals how wicked we really are.
Conceived in sin, we are subject to the power of
the Original Rebel, the Fallen Angel and Dragon of Old, the Devil. He who dared
to fight against God, tried to claim His Throne, proclaiming constant lies
about God & His Religion with a pathological vengeance.

(Savage, Murderous & Irrational)
Most intelligent and comely of creatures at the
start, this ancient Lucifer --- he who
was the ‘bearer of light’ --- is now a herald of darkness,
surrounding himself in the illusion of brightness, a celestial being
named “satan” (accuser) who, says Paul, “…transformeth [transforms] himself into an angel of light.”
(2 Corinthians 11:14 DRC)
But in doing so, the “angel of light”
chose to abandon the true light of rationality.
He has no good left in him, no love left for real
truth and right reason.
He is, as Jesus said, “…a murderer from the beginning, and
he stood not in the truth;
because truth is not in him. When he speaketh
[speaks] a lie, he speaketh of his own [as if
it is his native language]: for
he is a liar, and the father thereof [Satan invented lying
and rules over anyone who lies, which liars are his children and
the citizens of his infernal kingdom, being either non-Catholic
or, in the end, dying as bad Roman Catholics].” (John
8:44b-c DRC)
The upshot?
This Satanic Murderer is a Beast.
He is an empty void of ‘shining’
blackness, a maelstrom of dark duplicity.
He is clever yet irrational, savage, cruel and insatiably
ravenous… snakish, reptilian, venomous, driven
by fear… whilst predatory, ruthless, feral, deadly and untamed.

(What Scripture Actually Says)
“And the dragon [the Devil, Satan] was angry against the woman [literally, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God --- figuratively, the Roman Catholic Church, which is the Body of Her Son, Jesus, to Whom
She gave birth, making His Flesh truly Her Flesh as well]: and went to make war
with the rest of her seed
[her children and descendants], who keep
the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ
[i.e., the children and descendants of this woman that the dragon hates are
those human beings who are truly and visibly good Roman Catholics].
And he [the dragon] stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and
upon his horns ten diadems [crowns], and
upon his heads names of blasphemy [names that mock and defy the Triune God of
the Catholic Church and anything to do with His One True Religion]. And
the beast, which I saw, was like to a leopard [like a leopard], and his feet
were as the feet of a bear [he had the feet of a bear], and his mouth as the
mouth of a lion [he had the mouth of a lion]. And the dragon [the Devil] gave him his own strength, and great
power. And I saw one of his heads
as it were slain to death: and his death’s wound was healed. And all the
earth was in admiration after [amazed by] the beast. And they adored the dragon [worshipped
the dragon like he was ‘god’], which
gave power to the beast: and they adored the beast [worshipped the beast out of the sea like
he’s ‘god’, too], saying: ‘Who
is like to the beast? And who shall be able to fight with him?’
[‘Who can equal the beast? And who could ever win a war against
him?’] And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things, and
blasphemies: and power was given to him to do two and forty months [i.e., he
could say and do astonishing and hitherto unheard of things for forty-two
months]. And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies
against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and
them that dwell in heaven [this beast mocks and defies Our Maker,
ridicules and destroys His Catholic Church, and opposes His Holy Ones in
Heaven, treating them like a joke]. And it was given unto him to make war
with the saints [fight good Catholics on earth], and to overcome them.
And power was given him over every
tribe, and people, and tongue [language], and nation [this beast is the supreme
ruling power over all the earth’s inhabitants]. And all
that dwell upon the earth adored him [worshipped him like he’s the
‘creator’], whose names are not written in the book of life
of the Lamb [who do not die as good Catholics, serving Jesus, the
Lamb of God], which was slain from the beginning of the world
[Jesus’ Death on the Cross is eternal and not limited to
the time and place of Jerusalem in the first century]. If any man have an ear, let him hear [if you are able to
understand what this means, then pay attention and comprehend]. He that
shall lead into captivity, shall go into captivity: he
that shall kill by the sword, must be killed by the sword. Here is the patience
and the faith of the saints [this terrible time of evil, sin &
rebellion will test to the marrow the loyalty and goodness of every person
left on earth who is truly Roman Catholic during the Great
Apostasy].” (Apocalypse 12:17-13:10 DRC)

(A Monstrous Story Unveiled, Part 1)
What does this scriptural passage mean?
Both Sacred Scripture & Tradition make it
plain that the “dragon” is the Devil, the Ancient Serpent who
deceived Ss. Adam & Eve, leading them into the First Sin. (Apocalypse 12:17 DRC. See Genesis 3:1-24 for the history of
their Original Sin.)
To wit, the first heresy and false religion on earth.
The “woman” is simultaneously the
Blessed Virgin Mary and the Catholic Church. Whoever receives the Sacrament of
Baptism is made a member of this Church, which is the Body of Jesus Christ, Her
Son, and ergo of Her Flesh, being the Mother, and those of sound mind who
profess this Church’s Infallible Teachings are indeed visible followers
of Jesus and children of His Mother, having His “testimony” and
being “her seed” by imitating Her holy example, as well.
(Apocalypse 12:17 DRC)
Yet why does the dragon stand “upon the
sand of the sea”?
And why does the “beast” come up
“out of the sea”?
The first question refers to Apocalypse 12:18,
the second question to Apocalypse 13:1, both quotes being from the Douay Rheims
Challoner translation of the Bible. (DRC) All the
same, despite appearing to be widely separated via the references (the
first quote from chapter twelve, the second quote from chapter thirteen),
in actuality they are but one sentence after another in direct narrative
sequence in Sacred Scripture.
Viz., the Bible talks of the oceanic beast right after the dragon on the
shore.
And when you read the thousands of pages that
come from the early Church Fathers (writers and saints and bishops or teachers
of the ancient Church, during the first eight centuries after Christ), and
their commentaries upon the Bible, it becomes plain that ‘sand’ or
‘waters’ or the ‘ocean’ are metaphors for the multitudinous peoples of this world.
That is to say, we innumerable human
beings have covered the earth like the waters of the sea, or the countless
grains of sand upon the shores of the ocean.
As a result, the dragon standing “upon the
sand of the sea” symbolizes Satan himself standing in authority over this
earth and being the spiritual father
of humanity, who are each of us conceived into the Original Sin of our First Parents, Ss.
Adam & Eve.
Adam & Eve were made by God to be the King
& Queen of our visible, material world, but sold themselves --- and their
descendants --- into spiritual slavery when they believed the lies of the Devil
and took his religious venom into their bodies as well as their minds (for the
falsehoods of non-Catholic religions do indeed have physical
repercussions and not just mental or ‘psychological’
effects!). Doing so, they thereby corrupted both their own flesh and the flesh
of all their descendants to come, of all human beings… apart from Jesus
& Mary, Who are the second Adam and the second Eve, given to
us by Almighty God to undo the evil of the first Adam and the first
Eve.
The “beast” who comes up “out
of the sea” then means that future human beings (the future here
meaning ‘future in relation to the time that the biblical writer is
writing’… but not any longer the ‘future to us who are
reading it right now’ since it is
happening at this very moment) become so wicked and so anti-Christ
and thus anti-Catholic that they are organized into a ruling power over
the earth, global in nature, that it is unopposed by adequate
power to the contrary. Or, to put it differently, this organized force of anti-Christ and anti-Catholicism becomes the de facto supreme
power on earth since any truly
Roman Catholic nations have become few
& weak and, eventually, non-existent.
This is the “beast” come up
“out of the sea”.
And anyone who knows modern history knows what I
say is a fact.
Truly Roman Catholic nations no longer exist
anywhere on earth. There are no more Catholic monarchs and Catholic nobility
with real power and real thrones to make real Catholic laws and require their
people to obey them. The ancien régimes (French for
‘ancient regimes’ or ‘ancient rulers’) are dead and
gone as of this moment.
Even
Their peoples the most staunchly Catholic by lax
modern standards of the past five centuries, these countries held out the
longest in preserving significant shards of their Catholicity despite their
ancient monarchs being gone and replaced, democratically, with the ‘rule
of the people’ or something else more suitably modern and not so
appropriate for Catholic nations trying to remain Roman Catholic.
By the 1990s, though, even they had become rabidly
anti-Catholic.
Yet what are the “…seven
heads…”? (Apocalypse 13:1b DRC)
Anyone who studies Sacred Scripture and Sacred
Tradition realizes that God ‘favors’, as it were, certain numbers.
That is to say, certain numbers tend to symbolize or indicate certain things in
our world that He, the Eternal & Uncreated Creator, creates.
Recall St. Matthew’s words:
“All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes
[to the huge crowds who listened to Him]: and
without parables he did not
speak to them. That it might be fulfilled [that] which was spoke by the
prophet, saying: ‘I will open my
mouth in parables, I
will utter things hidden from the foundation [beginning] of the world.’
[Psalm 77:2]” (Matthew 13:34-35 DRC)
So what is the ‘parable’ being told
under the guise of the number “seven”?
The Number Seven is undeniably linked to
the Deity of God.
I.e., Seven is the Supernatural
& Sovereign Number.
Are you beginning to see, dear reader?
This “beast”, empowered by the
“dragon”, is a pretender
like the Devil himself. Both he and it pretend to be ‘god’, to be worthy of the worship reserved only
for the True Worship of the True God, the Triune Deity of His Singularly Roman
Catholic Religion.
We recollect
“Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there
come a REVOLT FIRST [a Rebellion against God happens prior
to the end of our world], and the man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition [a man of hell], who opposeth
[opposes], and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped, so that he sitteth [sits, like a king on his throne] in
the temple of God, shewing himself [showing
himself, and therefore pretending] AS IF HE WERE GOD.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 DRC)
Words affirmed by
“And they adored the dragon [worshipped the dragon like he was
‘god’], which gave power
to the beast: and they adored
the beast [worshipped the beast out of the sea like he’s
‘god’, too], saying: ‘Who
is like to the beast? And who shall be able to fight with him?’
[‘Who can equal the beast? And who could ever win a war against
him?’]… And ALL that
dwell upon the earth ADORED him [worshipped him like he’s our unique
‘creator god’], whose names are NOT written in the BOOK OF LIFE of
the Lamb [who do not die as good Catholics, serving Jesus, the
Lamb of God], which was slain from the BEGINNING of the world [Jesus’
Death on the Cross is ETERNAL and never limited to merely the time and
place of Jerusalem in the first century of the inescapably Roman Catholic
solar calendar chronology, that we’ve used for a millennium or more, of
‘AD’ (‘Anno Domini’, i.e., ‘in the Year of Our
Lord’)].” (Apocalypse 13:4, 8 DRC)

(A Monstrous Story Unveiled, Part 2)
Now, if Satan and his oceanic beast wants to be
‘god’ and worshipped like the ‘creator’, what do you
think will be his strategy if, indeed, we really are at the end of our world as
we know it, and the Great Apostasy and a Hideous Rebellion is upon us?
Right --- he will resent anything referring to the True God & His True Religion.
He will try to destroy anything smacking of the Old World Order.
And, lo and behold, we actually see this
happening in our contemporary world. Everywhere and everywhen an intelligent
person looks, for, at a minimum, the last hundred years, elements of
Catholicity or of a so-called ‘christianity’
are systematically suppressed and then substituted with more modern constructions.
For instance, the powers-that-be have stamped out
any official or academic reference to the aforesaid ‘AD’ or
‘Anno Domini’ --- apart from fleeting nods of the head in
historical documentaries or history books. At first ‘AD’ was
changed to ‘CE’ and said to stand for the ‘Christian
Era’ that has been used by everyone everywhere in the world, who is an
intellectual or educated, for at least the past two or three hundred years.
‘BC’, therefore, which had meant ‘Before Christ’, was
changed to ‘BCE’, which meant ‘Before Christian Era’.
Then, mysteriously, these terms --- while remaining the same acronyms --- were
unexpectedly redefined as meaning ‘Common Era’ and ‘Before
Common Era’… all mention of ‘Christ’ or
‘Christian’ wholly erased.
Or consider how official or academic references
to ‘Christmas’ are gone. In the United States, which is the nation
of my residence hence far, ‘Merry Christmas’ used to be the
greeting you pretty much heard from everyone everywhere in our country in the
weeks leading up to December 25th… and even though most citizens were not Catholic, or only marginally
‘christian’ in a very remote
sense. Then, suddenly, this custom disappeared. Postal clerks and school
teachers and government leaders and corporate office workers were no longer
supposed to use this classic, universal and ubiquitously-accepted yuletide
statement of joy and friendliness lest it ‘offend’ someone and
cause them to feel ‘left out’ or ‘oppressed’. The
customary ‘Merry Christmas’ became the bland ‘Happy
Holidays’, then the blander ‘Seasons Greetings’, and, today,
a decisive majority of people, most of the time, will never say anything public
to strangers, however vague, directly referring to December’s traditional
festivities… and even though a sizable
majority celebrates and observes the month of December in some small,
low-key way still connected, however faintly, to the Birth of Jesus
Christ, Who is Almighty & Eternal God-in-the-Flesh.
Or think about the systematic extinction of
expressions of traditional-style religions within the public schools of the
Why should they?
Again, the vast majority of people still called
themselves ‘christian’ or had traditional
notions of morality & religion. Ergo, why should most Americans have any
compunction against students joining in with a vaguely Protestant prayer led by
a classroom teacher? Or reading the Bible in some way that was of a religious
purpose rather then purely ‘academic’, or of
‘historical’ and ‘educational’ purpose only?
To be sure, good Catholics did not join in
with this expression of traditional religiosity. How could they? If truly
Catholic then they knew that Protestantism --- the major form of ‘christianity’ in the United States prior to
contemporary times --- was a false
religion, and that good Catholic parents could not send their children
to protestantized public schools, there to learn a false ‘christianity’
or to learn to believe that Protestants can inhabit Heaven as they are, without
first converting to the Roman
Catholic Church.
Also, yes, the tiny minority that did not
agree with traditional religiosity might feel ‘pressured’ to
conform, and thus ‘oppressed’ by the majority way of doing things
in public schools at this time. This is human nature to want to fit in, and not
to be ‘shunned’ or ‘stigmatized’. Yet since when does
‘fairness’ to others require that the majority give up their dominant
way of doing things just to appease the tiny minority? Isn’t this only another kind of tyranny,
where a few control and enslave and oppress the majority by forcing
them, against their will, to give up or change what they have every reason to
presume, in a purportedly ‘free’ country, is their freedom
to choose to practice in a public place? Wasn’t the American government,
with the guarantee of freedom of religion, supposed to defend the
privilege of American citizens to practice their particular religion
publicly & freely, without repression, instead of suppressing
traditional religion, and its public expression, in every public forum
altogether?
Absolutely --- no honest person educated in
American history can deny this.
But then our Supreme Court came down with a
series of despotic decisions, during the mid-twentieth century --- and under
the guise of ‘protecting’ the poor minority --- that reinterpreted the US Constitution
and systematically suppressed and shut
down the free will choice of
the vast majority in the public forum, and which no one… not even
the least religious or ‘moral’… had ever questioned or defied
or thought ‘oppressive’, prior to the tiny minority, with the help
of Freemasonic justices who dominated the United States Supreme Court at this
time, shoving the will of a very few down the throats of a more traditional-minded
majority.
Fair and ‘free’? Truly
‘tolerant’? A nation of real
‘liberty’ being ‘constitutional’?
The only one who can afford to entertain this
mythical idea is the tiny minority… now become a majority through force of time and new
custom turned into old custom over the decades… but a majority
that, you can be certain, will never
allow the old majority of traditionally religious people --- now become the new
minority --- to be permitted a similar
protection from the ‘pressure’, ‘stigma’ &
‘oppression’ of their modernistic repression of all forms of
traditional religion in public places owned, supported, supervised or otherwise
in some way officially connected to our government!
Tolerance in ‘free’ modern countries
works in only one way, you know:
In the direction of always more and more modern… and almost never in the direction of
the more traditionally religious or traditionally moral.

Or ponder something more concrete.
The powers-that-be have acted, in the past
century, as if the world desperately needs some form of global government and
authority, as if we will face ‘apocalyptic doom’ without some kind
of ‘New World Order’ to enforce peace & prosperity. All the
while, when the world was dominated by Catholic nations a few centuries ago,
the whole world already had a global
government and authority in place at the time, in a very real sense, with
both a Catholic Pope and a Catholic Emperor wielding incredible power.
True, most Catholic nations were often (and
shamefully so) at odds, disagreeing and fighting. What’s more, they
frequently disobeyed or ignored the Pope and the Emperor, acting as if utterly
free, in God’s Sight, to do whatever they wished, regardless of these
divinely-anointed authorities. Which, naturally, played into
the hands of those who hated Catholicity and wanted the Great Apostasy to
occur. Although, really, how is this any different from the way things
are today? Don’t nations still fight & bicker all the time despite
our international authorities of a more recent and non-Catholic form?
The point is, if all one wants is a
‘global’ government along with (presumably) the peace &
prosperity that is imagined to come along with it, then what was wrong with using the Global Papacy of an Eternal
Rome and the International Roman Catholic Empire already falling into place
centuries ago?
Why not work with
the already-existing arrangement and strengthen
it, expanding the Old World Order and making it more effective, so
that, internationally speaking, every human being and all countries and all
world powers are in perfect accord?
Why, indeed?
The answer is simple.
Because the new powers-that-be --- the ones yearning for a New
World Order and the end of the ancien régimes
of actual Catholicity --- DO NOT
WANT a global authority and peace & prosperity founded on ROMAN CATHOLIC
PRECEPTS.
Period.
Au contraire, they want a world that is luciferian, founded upon the
precepts of the dragon and his oceanic beast and a ‘new age’ of modern human relations.
And so they have created the United Nations.
At the close of World War II and a cacophony of
disorder --- and after the collapse of their earlier effort, the ill-fated
‘League of Nations’ --- they erected, in New York City, the grand
emblem of everything our New World Order embodies. Much derided, often decried,
never quite achieving total and outright ‘real’ power,
notwithstanding, this organization endures, ruled in reality by the five
leading nations behind-the-scenes (
And, if that is not enough, the UN has revealed
itself, in the past half century, to seemingly care about only one thing…
and one thing predominately, overall… funding efforts all around
the world for a single, gargantuan & overweeningly
arrogant goal:
Utter eradication of Catholic Teaching regarding family
& sexuality.
Whether or not peoples were converted completely
to the Catholic Faith, most nations most of the time for the past several
millennia, have, nevertheless, kept the understanding of the Law of Natural
Reason that humans beings are made to be male and female, for complementary (complementary, not complimentary!) yet distinct purposes, and that, primarily, the goal of this
‘binary’ sexuality is for the procreation of children.
Hence, marriage is for bearing children and never
to be broken by divorce. Hence, anything
like ‘contraception’ is forbidden and defies the Will of God. Hence, a clinically denominated
‘abortion’ is equally forbidden
and literally annihilates the
children who bear His Image in the womb. Hence, too, the clinically monikered ‘homosexuality’ is to be absolutely forbidden, being a
physical union that is fruitless
and mocks the spiritual and metaphorical Fatherhood
of Our Creator, simultaneously mocking the allegorical smallness and weakness,
yet beautiful and precious ‘femininity’, of His creation, of all
creatures --- especially human beings
--- who are made to be His. Consequently, too, ‘feminism’ is forbidden, the so-called
‘emancipation’ of women, being, in actuality, defiance of His Divine Paternity and the reason He made two,
and only two, sexes. Which then means, also, that ‘feminism’ does not ‘free’ women but
enslaves them, contradicting
the purpose for why they are
female as distinct from the
male sex.
Is it sinking in, my precious soul?
And if you find yourself hating me --- or, at least, hating
what I say --- with a furious, totally-consuming, bestial passion, then be smart
enough and honest enough to recognize that you are the very thing we are talking about… the fulfillment of St. John the
Evangelist’s words in the apocalyptic passage we have been examining.
To wit:
You are part of the countless peoples and ‘waters’ of
this present apostate era, a part of the irrational & godless
“beast” that comes up “out of the sea”, to rule this
world tyrannically by the power of an infernal dragon, to pretend
to be ‘god’ with a ‘creator-like’ authority to change
ancient laws and traditions --- to assault
and attack and destroy the Law of Natural Reason with an unprecedented
hubris.
Curious --- is it not? --- that the
‘powers-that-be’ chose to adorn the United Nations General Assembly
Hall, where all the nations of the world’s peoples now gather together in
New York City like the waters of the earth’s seas in a kind of hallowed
‘new world order church’, with a sea green carpet and a sea
green marble rostrum at its head.
Oceanic and bestial
symbolism?
Oh, yes… yes, indeed.
+++ 83. An Oceanic Beast?
+++
(A Monstrous Story Unveiled, Part 4)
And since people are not people in random
isolation from one another --- that is to say, they are what they are,
normally, in some sort of connection with
and relation to each other --- then
this ‘oceanic beast’ of ‘modern people’ must
have ideas and ways of thinking and ways of doing things and ways of talking
about things that are unique &
distinct from other peoples in other places and other times, especially
when viewed from far enough way, giving us the vantage point of perspective and
understanding, of comprehending why
they are the way they are, and how
they became that way.
And so it is.
The thinking person, who studies history and uses
mental muscles to grapple with ideas and intellectual theories… just the
way a healthy person, who practices a sport and uses physical muscles to
exercise and grapple with athletic equipment…
uses these mental muscles to intelligently figure out how traditional people became modern people.
What kind of ideas did they embrace, what intellectual theories
do they tout?
How did they become what they are in modern times, what makes them so very different
from traditional people in ancient times?
What’s more --- as is so often the case ---
it’s the questions that people don’t think to ask (or never
dare to ask!) that are frequently the most revealing about who someone
is and why they are the way they are. Or, to put it another way, when certain thoughts become
‘unthinkable’ or ‘forbidden’, then these unthinkable & forbidden ideas or theories are
frequently the simplest means to rapidly figure out what’s going on in
their minds.
So… what’s going on in the modern mind?
Let’s take a quick glance.
Beginning by the 1300s in certain parts of a
wholly Catholic Europe, a growing group of scholars & artists challenged
the former practices & former principles common to their careers and ---
drawing inspiration from the Greeks & Romans of pagan times --- upended the
conventions of their times with ‘new’ ideas and ‘new’
approaches.
We today call this major shift the ‘Renaissance’
(French for ‘rebirth’).
There are many ways to describe this change. And not
all new ideas or new approaches are to be condemned automatically, carte blanche, by a wise and patient
Catholic thinker, without considering the situation carefully & rationally.
(Careless & irrational reactions are a hallmark of Catholic fundamentalists (CFs), about
whom you may read
here.)
However, one pithy way to describe this change is the
following statement:
Man is the measure of all things.
Not God, or Holy Religion, or Sacred Tradition,
or Infallible Dogma, or the like.
No --- human beings, period, no
ultimate reference to Catholicism at all.
This is, at it were, the beginning of the end and the apocalypse.
Despite the Arian or Iconoclast Heresies, or the
Eastern Schism, and various wars and feuds and difficulties that Catholic
nations experienced, Roman Catholicism had come to dominate the most dominant
part of the earth (as is obvious from the
vantage point of looking over the last 2000 years), having sent
missionaries and made converts in practically every part of the world (the myth that Catholicism had never
reached the Americas or gotten deeply into Asia or Africa prior to the 2nd
millennium is opposed to ancient testimony and the evidence of
archeology --- but that’s another book for another time). This is the
physical foreshadowing of the spiritual --- yet still very earthly and real! --- ‘thousand year reign’ to come in the
not-too-distant future. (Apocalypse 20:4. Peruse Apocalypse 20:1-7 for
the fuller context of this period of future time.) Prior to this future
fulfillment of the prophecy in a more spiritual way, nevertheless, for one
thousand years, as it were, Roman Catholicism in a more purely physical way
ruled essentially unbowed
before Her foes from, roughly, the 6th
century until the 16th century. (There
is a small CF --- Catholic fundamentalist --- faction now claiming antipopes
have prevailed, unbroken, since AD 1130. This idea is nonsense.
Indisputably non-Catholic antipopes during the modern era
have never prevailed for a long time till our own rebellious epoch
since
The point?
+++ 84. An Oceanic Beast?
+++
(A Monstrous Story Unveiled, Part 5)
This is where most Catholic people started going bad.
Failing to look unto God & Catholicism as the
‘measure of all things’, instead following the rotten example of
the ancient Greek philosopher, Protagoras, they started looking at their own selves and at their own carnal wishes and at the bad example of many other ancient
pagans, too, as a ‘yardstick’ by which to ‘measure’
everything they might possibly imagine and wind up wanting to think, say or do
in this earthly life.
(Which is not to say, by that way, that the ancient pagans and pagan
thinkers don’t have useful things for Catholics to learn from or put into
practice. After all, St. Augustine of Hippo shaped ancient Catholic
theology by building on the good
foundation of Greek Platonism, and, while controversial at the time,
St. Thomas Aquinas and his fellow scholastic theologians did similarly by
building on the foundation of Plato’s pupil’s philosophy and Greek
thinker, Aristotle. It is to
say, however, that, in studying the writings, lives & philosophies of
ancient pagans, you can find both good and bad. Scholarly &
wise Catholics choose the good while rejecting the bad, in this way metaphorically
‘baptizing’ these things
to make them safe and practical for other Catholics to use, despite such
Catholics not equaling their learning and prudence.)
Unfortunately, Catholics back then wanted to
think, say & do sinful things.
Their supposed ‘Renaissance’ was therefore not at its heart a fortunate and ‘revivifying’
event. It was never something
basically good, sound or leading to the
To the contrary, it was foolish, tragic and, in the end, diabolic.
Rather than a ‘rebirth’ it was a ‘Remort’
(coined French for ‘re-death’).
That is to say, people began to think of
themselves as their own ‘Gods’… and die.
Just as Satan in the Garden of Paradise tempted
first Eve, then Adam, to partake of the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge
of good & evil at the center of this Garden, and, as a result, God in
punishment did to them the very thing the Devil mocked (“No, you shall not die the death. For God doth know [For
God indeed knows] that in what day soever [on
whatever day] you shall eat thereof [you dare to eat the fruit of that tree of
knowledge of good & evil] your eyes shall be opened: and you shall
be as Gods, knowing good and evil.”), causing as well St. Eve
to bear her children in pain and to live under her husband’s rule, and
St. Adam to toil painfully in tedium for the rest of his life in order to gain
the things his family needed to live during their earthly lives, the both of
them --- and all their descendants, except for Jesus & Mary --- dying, being, as God declared, “…dust… and into dust thou
shalt return [all human bodies in death, left
untouched by the mortician’s artifice, shall become again the dust out of
which I, the Divine Maker, formed the two of you].” (Genesis 3:4b-5,
19c DRC. Emphasis & annotation added.)
Fascinating, is it not?
That, as more and more Catholics embraced the
wickedness of the Remort, God sent a mysterious Black
Plague that, assert most scholars, killed at least one third --- perhaps three fifths! --- of the people of Catholic Europe in just a few years from
the 1340s into the 1350s. Variations on this plague continued to haunt
Yet right on the heels of this debacle, God
allowed Christendom to be split into two factions… and even three factions near the end!... for 39 years from 1378 to
1417, as an irregular conclave for electing the next pope left Catholics
confused and riven in half, saints themselves at the time disagreeing over who
was the true pope.
Mere chance?
I think not.
No real & intelligent Catholic can possibly believe that God is not
in control of everything. Hence, if
He allows Christendom (read: Roman
Catholic nations) to be plagued, slaughtered, confused and divided, then either bad Catholics are being punished for terrible
sins or else good Catholics
are being tested for the sake of purification and reward in Heaven to
come. There is no other logical
option.
Usually pain & confusion are for both purposes at the
same time; yet the first (punishment for
horrible sins) is typically the engine driving the two goals.
Is it any wonder, then, as Catholics continued to
be bad with immodest art and adultery and concubinage
(priests in the West having wives, contrary to Church law in the area of the
world subject to the Roman bishop functioning, as well, as Primate of the West)
and conciliarism (the false teaching that an
ecumenical council is above popes in authority) and gluttony and so forth and
so on, that God permitted Protestantism?
Called by the world a ‘Reformation’
--- as if it were a good and necessary thing --- it was actually a Rebellion and tore
A Rebellion that pretended Our Creator
never designed us to be Catholic, the newly arisen Protestants founding their manmade
religion on the spiritual lies of ‘faith alone’ and
‘scripture alone’… claiming the Bible teaches that
‘faith’ all by itself is what He requires in order to enter Heaven.
A purported ‘faith’ that was clearly not His Catholic
Religion; ergo, even were the heresy of ‘faith alone’ true, it would still be utterly incapable of
gaining for them the priceless reward of Heavenly Salvation.
Yet Our Creator did indeed make us to be
Catholic and gave us an infallible means to know His Saving Religion (which includes infallibly knowing
the correct interpretation of Sacred Scripture, Protestants themselves proving,
after five centuries, how no one can agree on the correct &
necessary interpretation without a divinely-appointed Supreme Authority to
unite everyone on this correct & necessary interpretation!), a
means built upon solid rock (see Matthew 7:24-27 & 16:16-19), which rock is plainly His visible
representative on earth --- a real & legitimate Bishop of Rome, true Successor
to St. Peter, the apostle that Jesus purposely nicknamed ‘Rock’, the meaning of the Greek-derived
‘Peter’ that is ‘Kepha’ in
the Aramaic language Jesus spoke (see John 1:42), thereby enabling His flock to stay one with His Body
(Church) & Mind (Religion).
The first Protestants were baptized and raised in
Jesus’ Body & Mind. That is, they started out in life as Catholics --- although pretty bad Catholics, admittedly --- then shattered
their solemn baptismal vows and divinely-commanded obedience to their Spiritual
Mother, God’s Roman Catholic Church, claiming they were only returning to
the ‘real’ Christianity of a ‘primitive’ Church. A
claim which is a complete fabrication as I learned for myself while
converting from the Protestantism I was taught as a small child, discovering
the truth by actually daring to read what so-called ‘primitive’
Christians said for themselves about Christianity in their ancient
writings:
That they were Roman Catholic, and nothing else.
(You may see the proof for this in
Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus, in the Books
& Articles section of The Epistemologic Works
here.
It quotes extensively
from ancient Christian writers to reveal a Supreme & Infallible
Papacy operating right from the beginning.)

Notwithstanding, the story of rebellion,
punishment & confusion goes on.
Next came the ‘Heliocentric Revolution’,
wherein many astronomers and learned scholars fell in love with the notion that
the earth spins and moves through the heavens, centered on the sun. (Heliocentrism later evolved into the present ruling
thought, that the universe is ‘acentric’
and has no central or
‘special’ frame of reference or position that is unique.) All the
purported ‘proofs’ for acentrism are
merely circumstantial, and
--- as the famous & revered Albert Einstein is credited with popularizing
--- we today believe all motion is
relative… so how is it that
mirror opposite relative motions cannot explain the movement of every
celestial body in the universe just as legitimately as the
heliocentrically-derived acentric theory now shaping
our beliefs?
This is precisely what the 16th
century astronomer, Tycho Brahe, pointed out and why,
from a wise Roman Catholic perspective, his Tychonian
Geocentrism is, it would seem, the correct &
most accurate understanding of how God designed His creation to move.
(To wit, the entire universe turns around the
sun, while the sun, along with the whole universe, revolves around the earth at
the center of everything. Please note how intelligent Tychonian
Geocentrists do not
pretend that either the earth or the sun are massive enough to gravitationally
‘bind’ the universe to themselves, their gravity then
‘causing’ the universe to revolve around them. Rather, the entire mass of the universe is itself gravitationally bound to itself as
a massive whole, God having begun the revolution of the entire mass of
the universe around the sun, this motion in turn embedded in the far greater
revolving motion of a gravitationally
self-bound universe revolving around the ultimate center, which is
where God places the earth in a special central stasis, this terrestrial globe
neither revolving nor moving in some periodic & extensive way. Incidentally,
readers may find a detailed & logical explanation in
Geocentricity
.)
But, of course, this idea in modern academia
became verboten & ridiculed.
Indeed, an idea now not even suspected that it could
be thought true.
And, although it was never ‘obvious’
to the common, uneducated and everyday human being to start with, eventually,
through compulsory public education in ‘democratized’ or
‘communized’ countries and the spread of ever-more-influential news
and entertainment ‘media’, the idea of ‘heliocentrism’
or ‘acentrism’ became known --- and
believed to be ‘true’ --- by practically everyone in our part of
the world… if not the whole world and everyone everywhere on the earth,
period.
Along with this heliocentric or acentric modernist triumph --- and together with the
equally widespread Rebellion of the Protestants against Catholicism --- went
any innate trust in the
divinely infallible teachings of God’s Roman Catholic Church.
For why should trust remain?
Why shouldn’t people instead distrust
Catholicism?
I mean, if She, God’s One & Only Roman Catholic Church,
can be ‘wrong’
about the position of a static earth in our creation at the very center of the
universe, and the movements of the heavens around this central, special &
terrestrial point, then why should anyone trust Her Infallible Religious
Teachings in other matters of
a religiously dogmatic, moral, liturgical, theological or philosophical nature?
Why shouldn’t people --- who were not even yet, or never would be,
Protestant --- nonetheless follow the audacious example of
Protestants and ‘protest’ against --- and defy --- the teachings of
this now… supposedly… ‘discredited’ and ‘unbelievable’ Roman
Catholic Church and Her Divinely Infallible Dogmas?
Do you see?
It’s pretty simple.
The Catholic Church infallibly upholds Sacred
Scripture. Sacred Scripture literally seems to say that the earth is central
and immovable. All early Church Fathers who speak about it agree on this
interpretation. And almost no one, till the 1500s, dares to disagree.
Then, by the 20th century, both
scholars & non-scholars are in agreement, being taught that the earth is in
no position or place or spot that is special, instead going
around the sun endlessly for time without end (the sun, in turn, just one of
billions of other ‘suns’ amongst billions of other
‘galaxies’ throughout a gargantuan & accidentally-existing
universe) and that the Church was really, really, really, really, really,
really stupid for teaching us to think otherwise. What’s more,
tons of Protestants defy Catholicism, claiming to have ‘proved’
that the Church is both ‘unbiblical’ and ‘despotic’.
So why believe this Church could teach us infallibly?

This growing disbelief in the teachings of the
Church resulted in more and more European scholars or thinkers rejecting and
mocking Catholicism or other traditional religions altogether, pretending that
their own minds and own ‘rationality’ could determine what is
‘true’ regardless of what the Church or tradition teaches
us.
This era of ‘skepticism’ reached
critical mass during the fateful 1700s.
A period of time we now laud as the ‘Enlightenment’,
modern academia preaching to us, with no doubt permitted (strangely enough for people who claim ‘doubt’ &
‘skepticism’ are always ‘good things’), that this
was a wonderful blessing for the world.
That is to say, we modern human beings have
finally overcome centuries and millennia of ‘ignorance’ and
‘superstition’ to figure out, on our own --- free of the
‘tyranny’ of an Infallible Church or ‘needless’ and ‘unsubstantiated’
tradition --- how things ‘really are’, and that we are
‘free’ to live however we choose (except for when it comes to being free to choose to be actually
Catholic or traditionally religious and against Modernism, of course),
‘free’ from the ‘shackles’ of the Church & Roman
Catholicism, traditional religion or morality, ancient monarchies, non-modern
ways of thinking, and etc.
From a wise Roman Catholic point of view, this
‘Enlightenment’ was, in reality, Endarkenment. Casting away the Light of Infallible
Truth, rejecting the real Catholic
Christ and Catholic God of the Catholic Church, how could it be
anything other than a time of growing darkness in intelligent minds?
Indeed, darkness that masquerades
as if it were ‘light’, ‘shining’ just like Lucifer
--- the ‘bearer of light’, as his Greek-derived name means --- pretends
to be an “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14 DRC) during
modern times, thereby becoming a false Christ with false
Christianity and false Catholicism, thereby deceiving most of the
world and enslaving their minds with false ideas.
Are you beginning to understand the
ramifications, dear reader?
This is not ivory tower theorizing of no
importance.
This is brass tacks basics and the eternal
fate of countless immortal souls.
And if you believe naively or tenaciously in the dogmatic
teachings of modernist philosophy
or modernist religion --- and no
matter how ‘sincerely’ or passionately and with the ‘best of
intentions’ --- then you are part of the “many” who are headed down the “…broad… way that leadeth [leads] to destruction,” as the
real Jesus Christ of His Singularly Roman Catholic Church warned in the Gospel.
(Matthew 7:13d, c DRC)
The result of belief in the Religion of
Modernism? Very simple.
Disbelief in the Religion of Roman Catholicism.
And consequent opposition --- more and
more and more and more as time goes by and the Great
Apostasy rages mostly unchecked throughout our world --- to anything
that smacks of Roman Catholicity or traditional religion and traditional
morals.
This is precisely what happened to learned
scholars or other thinkers during the AD 1700s. More and more of them touted
the ‘exciting new ideas’ of the Endarkenment,
claiming to have the ‘freedom’ to decide for themselves (hence why
they were often called, back then, ‘freethinkers’), without any respectful
nod toward infallible Catholic dogmas or any traditional religion…
supposedly by their ingenious ‘rationality’ alone (hence the point
of their self-styled ‘rationalism’)… the ‘truth’
about our world, how it came to be, its history, how we human beings arose,
the purpose of our existence (or the purposelessness
of our existence), and what laws or ethics or rules or customs to devise for
ourselves, governing our lives and how we think, speak and act, i.e., what we
let people do and what we won’t let them do, deeming certain things bad
or wrong or ‘negative’ or ‘inappropriate’ or whatever
euphemism a modern person chooses to describe something condemned that was once
called ‘sin’.
Ideas have consequences and these ideas shape our modern
lives.
Amongst Catholics, this meant less and less
belief in the ancient, simple, narrow and correct comprehension of the dogma of
‘no Salvation outside the Church’. Especially in countries where
Catholics lived side-by-side with Protestants --- or didn’t keep totally
to themselves in so-called Catholic ‘ghettoes’ --- they started
intermarrying with and living and working and socializing with, practically all
of the time, non-Catholic people. This made for a situation where it became
harder and harder for them to overcome their sentiments --- genuinely liking or
caring for these people --- to believe that, yes, intelligent non-Catholic
people (perhaps one’s own spouse!) would, indeed, end up falling into
hell forever without becoming Catholic before they die. More and more wicked or
rebellious priests & bishops in these areas did not help the problem, first
quietly, then more and more boldly, teaching that the Salvation Dogma
doesn’t mean non-Catholic people go to hell when they die. Bishops also
increasingly and carelessly permitted exceptions
to the general rule of Catholics not
marrying non-Catholics.
The inevitable results of all of this reached
‘critical mass’ in the 18th
century.
+++ 87. An Oceanic Beast?

(A Monstrous Story Unveiled, Part 8)
Meanwhile, behind the scenes (so to speak),
amongst people in Europe or in Central & South America, but who were not
Catholic, or only phony Catholics, hating God’s One & Only
Church with a bestial passion, self-styled ‘Freemasons’ spread
everywhere, working to undermine the leaders of the Church and leaders of
Catholic nations with all kinds of strategies, cruel & duplicitous slander,
as well as violent, even murderous, attacks.
Again, this is not ivory tower musings or nutty
‘conspiracy theory’ fantasy.
Any literate person can read the public and
official documents of recent popes, seeing how, starting in the early 1700s and
carrying through the 1800s, popes again and again tried to warn their bishops,
and Catholic people in general, that Freemasonry was inherently opposed to Catholicism, and that Catholics were forbidden to join the
Freemasons, with disobedience to this command to result in an automatic excommunication from
membership in the True Church.
And why would this be?
Because, whilst the lower ranks (the lowest three ‘degrees’ of
Masonry) were pretty clueless about Freemasonry’s ultimate purpose (thinking it only a way to ‘get
ahead’ in business or government, and to occasionally do ‘nice
things’ for ‘good causes’ or to help fellow Freemasons who
were in some sort of trouble, protecting them, or to get together and socialize
from time to time, with funny little --- yet disturbingly eerie and over the
top --- Masonic rituals thrown into the mix here & there), no one
higher up in Freemasonry (it is publicly
attested fact, from both former and still active members of Freemasonry, that
at least thirty more degrees of Masonic levels exist, ascending beyond the
three lowest levels, on up to the 33rd degree) can truly believe
in this bilk.
We say it frankly --- the aim of Freemasonry was,
and always has been, the spread of salvation heresy and other religious lies (‘one religion is as good as
another’, ‘love of neighbor and the Golden Rule is the highest
rule of all religions’, ‘every religion serves the same god
in its own unique way’, etc., etc.), the destruction of Catholic
Religion everywhere (via bad
catechism, or no catechism, for the laity, heretical training at
seminaries and, even, agents of Freemasonry posing as earnest seminarians
seeking entrance into the clergy and then working their way up the Hierarchy
for a greater and greater influence from within the Roman Catholic
Church, or working inside certain non-Catholic governments to suppress
the freedom of Catholics, or any people of traditional religions, in these
countries), not to mention overthrow Catholic monarchies (whether from inside or outside) or all
other types of Catholic governments the world over.
And, oh yes… that tendency of top Masonic
leaders to serve Satan as ‘God’.
The average (and uninformed) person probably
finds this hard to believe. If not Catholic, or claiming to be Catholic, the
public and official testimony of popes from the 18th & 19th
centuries will mean little to such people. All the same… and even if you
don’t want to believe what these popes said about Freemasonry… why say it in the first place?
What’s going on? What about Masonry causes these suspicions & allegations? And what is the purpose of Freemasonry, why does
this strange society exist to begin
with?
Masonic officials mock these concerns in public,
as if completely ‘open’ about their Freemasonic beliefs &
intentions. “Oh, we’re not a ‘secret’ society,”
they’ll occasionally say, in so many words. “Everyone knows we
exist, so how can we be ‘secret’?”
And, yet, this is disingenuous.
No intelligent non-Masonic person calls them a ‘secret society’
thinking nobody knows the Freemasons exist. Rather, we call them
‘secret’ because Masons indulge
rituals and pursue goals that they doggedly
refuse to reveal or adequately explain to the public. Additionally, the
Craft of Freemasonry imparts revelations
or special instructions to those initiated into higher degrees,
which they forbid telling to the
lower degrees.
Logical questions then naturally arise:
What are they hiding? And why?
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
But we don’t have time to go into all of
the evidence regarding Freemasonry. My writings are long enough as they are ---
too long for most people to digest --- and the sincere yet uninformed reader is
going to have to do some diligent research on his or her own (from all sides and not just
the side that supports what you want to believe, already, prior
to looking at all of the testimony from every point of view!),
finding out for one’s self whether what I say is wholly true or not. Nor
can you hang your hat on an apparent lack of complete unity between various
strands of Freemasonry (they have
different groups in their outfit just like Protestants have different
‘denominations’ in their community), as if this can ‘disprove’
allegations of Masonic ‘conspiracy’.
To top it off, one must grapple with a trend in
the last thirty or forty years that would seem to mitigate
against the power & influence Freemasons have wielded in the past. To wit,
membership in Masonic lodges has waned
in recent decades.
Why is this? For a shrewd Catholic thinker
it’s obvious:
Because the New World Order ‘powers-that-be’ have now
wholly ‘masonized’ our part of the
world, as it were, no longer needing as many Masons in positions of leadership
to influence the public, due to most of
us now believing in Masonic teachings without realizing we’ve
become Freemasonic in our thinking.
Hence, when younger people today learn that
something called ‘Freemasonry’ exists, they tend to view the
outward trappings of Freemasons (their lower degree rituals and peculiar
terminology) as kind of ‘silly-looking’ or ‘out of step with
the times’. To those ignorant about Masons, what we’ve said about
their ‘craft’ probably sounds weird, almost ‘crazy
unbelievable’… and yet it is true,
facts anyone can verify who looks carefully, logically weighing all
of the testimony with an evenhanded & unbiased approach.
True, lower ranking Masons will deny much of what
we’ve said, perhaps sincerely.
But they are ignorant, also, not fully initiated
into the ‘deeper’ and ‘higher’ degrees of Freemasonic
teaching or leadership. To them, Masonry is a slightly odd but real fact of our
everyday life, useful in the recent past to advancing in wealth and prestige and
power. And while for younger generations Freemasonry is, at best, an
interesting phenomenon, it is, at worst, more historical curiosity than a
vibrant, relevant entity in everyday life. (Nor have Freemasons ever been more
than a minority of a country’s population, making a shrinking membership
of proportional --- and not make-or-break --- importance.)
It doesn’t really matter.
If you claim to be Catholic, then, if serious,
you’ll take the papal documents of the early 18th through 19th
centuries as warnings of a grave nature, admitting that Freemasonry has been
thoroughly & officially condemned by the Hierarchy of Catholicism as intrinsically opposed to
Catholicism & Her Church. In any case, I aim for just a few people, knowing
that --- humanly speaking --- I’ve little chance to persuade anyone
beyond the very few who are, weirdly enough, willing to consider seriously what
I’ve said… if, truly,
there’s anyone paying attention to what I say. If skeptical yet
willing to look on your own, the evidence is there, and, if honest & thorough,
you’ll admit that it’s reasonable & factual.
Beyond
this
modest goal, I dare not venture further.
In the meantime, I tell you bluntly that the
beliefs of full Freemasonic teaching are the Religion of Modernism, a complete opposition to --- and destruction
of --- the Roman Catholic Church and all nations that are ruled by Catholics as
Catholic, and the erection of a fantastic and wonderful ‘New World
Order’ to replace a ‘bad’ Old World Order, once their foe,
the Church of Rome, is gone, a ‘New Age’ of fully
‘enlightened’ luciferian
humanity ushered in to replace the Old Age of Christianity.

Which brings us to the
American & French Revolutions.
Because the result of Endarkenment
thinking and Freemasonic infiltration of certain countries --- nations who
arose out of Western Civilization and used to be Catholic at some point in the
past --- is very predictable in retrospect. To wit, the forging of a new nation
called the United States in 1776 in North America, and the toppling of a
decayed Catholic monarchy in France in 1789, replaced by the
‘republicanism’ of a ‘democratic’ government that was
peculiarly & violently antagonistic toward anything Catholic.
Regarding the first (the
Again, this is part of public, recorded history.
We are not indulging fantasy or ‘conspiracy theory’ nuttiness. It
really all comes down to this:
Do you love the Endarkenment and like
Freemasonic principles?
Then you’re a modernist.
Do you dislike the Endarkenment
and find Freemasonic principles troubling?
Then, at the very least, you’re not quite a full-fledged
modernist, you might be a
real Catholic, and you are probably
(if not truly Roman Catholic) associated with something that is more
traditionally religious.
The bottom line, though, is this:
The
Right on the heels of the American Revolution,
however, came the French Revolution in 1789 and the
overthrow of a Catholic monarchy. The government put in place of their former
kingdom was the second Freemasonic government on earth. And, while
France flip flopped around during the 1800s, lurching from one revolution to
the next till finally getting something like a permanent government in the 20th
century, both Freemasons and their Masonic principles have inspired &
guided each of these tumultuous revolutions, not relinquishing power in the
least until this very day. French Masonic revolutions became the forerunner,
too, of Communism and their revolutions in the 1900s.
The point?
Freemasonic principles & teachings --- the
‘freethinking’ of the Endarkenment ---
effectively reigns unchallenged in every nation on this earth, although to varying degrees (no pun
intended), depending on the type of country and its culture.

(A Monstrous Story Unveiled, Part 10)
Bringing us to modern Communism.
Forged by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels (who
escaped to friendly London in the Freemasonic-dominated Great Britain so as to
avoid government suppression of their activities on the European Continent),
they published their infamous The
Communist Manifesto in 1848 (a date renowned for its Masonic-inspired
revolutions all across Europe that particular year) and, a mere sixteen years
later, the IWA (International Workingmen’s Association) --- composed of
communistic, or communist-leaning, thinkers --- was founded in 1864 and its
initial ‘congress’ held in 1866. This was the First International
of Communism. A Second ‘International’ followed in its wake,
culminating in the first Communist nation on earth with Russia’s
‘Soviet Union’, founded in 1917 amid an ‘October
Revolution’ (November, really, if you use the Gregorian calendar instead
of the Julian that Russians preferred then, and still prefer when it comes to
traditional religion and their version of Eastern Schismaticism
[‘Orthodoxy’]).
Once more, the point?
Recent popes have also warned repeatedly how
Communism is inherently opposed
to Catholicism, and that its teachings (e.g.,
individuals should not have any significant ‘private’
property, all wealth must be ‘publicly’ owned and,
supposedly, shared ‘equally’, the ‘dictatorship of the
proletariat’ will rule, religion is ‘the opiate of
the people’ and we should seek a ‘heaven’ here on
earth instead of an ‘imaginary’ Heaven to come, and etc.)
are dangerous --- if not totally antithetical --- to Church teachings, and that
a hard line atheistic
Communism is hell bent on annihilating
Catholicism or traditional religion.
And, whilst Communism is said to have
‘fallen’ in Russia back in 1991, roughly one third of the
world’s population is still ruled by openly Communist governments
(think China, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.), not to mention that, approximately
speaking, at least another third of the world’s population is either
ruled by openly ‘socialist’ governments or else is essentially
socialist in their various economies and influential political parties, to some
extent or another (think Sweden, Norway, India, Spain, Brazil, Venezuela, or
etc., etc.). ‘Socialism’ is often used interchangeably with the
word ‘Communism’, but generally more associated with countries that
are less ‘dictatorial’ and more ‘democratic’. Whatever the
term --- and the remaining third or so of the earth’s peoples have
been ‘communized’ or ‘socialized’ to some extent as
well --- these leaders and their people seek to make a ‘paradise’
on earth, with maximum fulfillment of all human wishes that are modern and
hence ‘acceptable’, rather than worrying about
seeking to inherit a real Heaven in the life to come after death on earth by
pleasing Our Creator and His Purpose for our human existence. Furthermore, were
that not enough, an intelligent observer notes how the primary leader of Russia
since the beginning of the 21st century, Vladimir Putin, was both a member
of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union and their brutal police force, the
KGB, as well as the fact that the most powerful of his fellow leaders were
Communists then, too, the majority of them, if not all of them. Leading
one to ask:
Did anything actually change in
This is especially sobering in the light of
Putin’s tightening fist of authority, his icy belligerence toward the
West, and flaunting of international law with his brazen takeover of the Crimea
(afterwards justified ‘democratically’ by an ethnic majority of
Russians on the Crimean peninsula ‘voting’ for his rule) and thinly
veiled threats or military muscle-flexing directed at other nations, particularly
in Europe… all so very reminiscent of a supposedly
‘historical’, and thus no longer pertinent and long gone,
‘Cold War’.
Not that so-called ‘Capitalism’ is lauded by the Church as a
‘good thing’ in stark contradiction to Communism. The Roman Catholic
Church has condemned usury in
Catholic countries, as did several pagan thinkers of old, and Capitalism is
simply usury gussied up for the present era (i.e.,
our currencies and banks all over the world are based on the system of lending
at interest with money of no real & physical intrinsic value).
What’s more, wise Catholics view the ‘profit motive’ of
Capitalism with askance, knowing quite well that this much-worshipped
‘engine of wealth’ is merely ‘greed’ or
‘avarice’ by another name, which --- while undoubtedly a powerful
‘motivator’ --- is one of the Seven Deadly Sins and too
often an excuse for cheap, shoddy & fraudulent work.
But back to Communism and a
closing commentary upon it.
For it’s curious, that, after decades of
ecclesial warnings, when John XXIII came to the papacy and initiated Vatican
II, both he and his successor, Paul VI, not only ignored the instructions of
Our Lady of Fatima concerning Communist Russia, but, via their Curia in the
Vatican, continually thwarted
efforts to get the Pseudo-Council to openly
condemn Communism as many participating bishops begged to do, and,
contrarily, went out of their way
to start an official ‘dialogue’ with the Soviet Union and other
communist nations, something previous
popes had never dared to do. Not only that, but, after the
Pseudo-Council was finished and a new ‘code of canon law’ issued in
1983 by Antipope John Paul II, the explicit
condemnation of Freemasonry, along with membership in it forbidden, as per past law, strangely disappeared from the text of
new ‘canon law’. (Neither is it truly pertinent that a
Novus-Ordo-controlled Vatican, via CNO Cardinal Ratzinger --- later to become Antipope Benedict XVI in 2005
--- ‘amended’ this missing canon the next year by reassuring us
that it was still ‘forbidden’ for Novus Ordoists
to be Freemasons. Because if it’s NOT condemned in ‘canon
law’… and Novus Ordoists are never explicitly punished for being
Masons… then how is it ACTUALLY forbidden?)
Again, mere chance?
I think not.
The Spirit of Modernism and the new
‘powers-that-be’ sealed their triumph in every way they could. They
didn’t want Freemasonry or Communism suppressed or opposed, and they want
free rein all over the earth, ushering in a New Age of Luciferian Rule.
And so we arrive at Darwinism.
The so-called ‘Theory of Evolution’
did not happen overnight, invented by Mr. Charles Darwin in 1859 out of
nowhere with his well-known book, On the
Origin of Species.
Au contraire, Endarkenment
thinkers had already embraced
the geological postulate of ‘uniformitarianism’
(sometimes called ‘gradualism’) in contrast to ‘catastrophism’ by
the early 1800s and very much did not
want to think the earth was formed by a Creator God Who occasionally punishes wicked human beings
with sudden and catastrophic events (like a worldwide inundation called the
Great Flood). They were thus well-prepared
to believe in an extraordinarily long & gradual history with slow but
steady ‘evolutionary’ change if only someone could devise a
‘plausible sounding’ hypothesis against what Catholicism, Sacred Scripture and other
traditional religious sources teach.
He might have invented the idea of ‘natural
selection’ first in its substantially contemporary form, but worked for
years on his famous and influential notion until a friend convinced him to
publish soon lest another scholarly gentleman --- Alfred Russel
Wallace --- steal his thunder by publishing before him. Per historians, Mr.
Darwin was surprised but not overly concerned about this happening and allowed
antecedent writings of his regarding ‘natural selection’ to be
co-presented with Wallace’s compositions on the subject to other
scientists in Britain in 1858. In addition to all of this,
Yet we all know how the story ends.
His two great tomes, On the Origin of Species and The
Descent of Man, caused a huge stir in academia, debate ensuing. At first, several
very prestigious and learned scientists dared to argue strongly against
the idea of one kind of creature ‘evolving’ over millions of years
into another kind or ‘species’ of creature altogether. By the
1920s, though, it was over. Darwinistic evolution appeared to ‘win’
and everybody --- particularly scientists or professors at universities &
colleges --- must now worship at the altar of life-by-mere-chance-and-‘natural selection’, or
else suffer ridicule and (maybe) a ruined career.
(The curious or skeptical reader may go
here for an exposing of the fatal logical
flaw at the heart of any version of evolutionary theory, whether
today’s Darwinism or whatnot.)
And, if life and a universe by chance, who needs God? In
fact, why not tinker with our world and ‘evolve’ into whatever
we want to be, becoming our own ‘Gods’? We’ll make reality into whatever we wish like an
all-powerful ‘Creator’ and, there being no such thing we call
‘sin’ in a modern world, we shall do as we please!
+++ 90. Do You Fathom How We Think? +++
Do you fathom how we think nowadays, my dear reader?
Do you comprehend the difference between ancient
& modern; betwixt traditional or medieval, and modernist; ’twixt the Old World Order and New World Order thinking?
Let’s make sure by summing it up.
Two paragraphs above I first
contrast ancient and modern, ‘ancient’
here meaning roughly two thousand years ago or more, when most people in most
places were pagan. Pagans, of course, are not Catholic, whether
Catholics of the Old Testament kind (before
Christ) or Catholics of New Testament variety (after Christ --- to wit, Roman Catholic and nothing
else). Yet pagans were not modern back then. So what’s the
distinction between ancient
pagan and the modern
‘neo-pagan’ of our modern
times (which is precisely what we
are… that is, pagan… if you’re paying attention)?
Easy.
Pagans back then worshipped any ‘god’
except the True God of
Catholicism, or, very occasionally, any ‘god’ along with, conflatedly, the One True Catholic God. (Worship of non-Catholic ‘gods’ along
with the Catholic God is called, by Catholic theologians, the act of
‘syncretism’, of trying to put two different things
together that don’t belong together… as if you’re
doing a ‘good thing’ by doing so, religiously speaking, and please
these ‘gods’, in addition to ‘pleasing’ the True
Catholic God, by doing so.) Ergo --- and as we noted in Chapter 32 of this
book, Helplessly Ignorant --- a wise
and scholarly Catholic realizes the term ‘pagan’ is, by definition,
and in the biggest sense of the terminology, the same thing as talking
about anyone who is NOT Catholic,
period.
And why is that?
Because they worship a false god instead of solely the True God of Catholicism.
What, then, distinguishes a new and hence ‘neo-pagan’
of modern times from the thoroughly quaint and outdated,
run-of-the-mill pagan of ancient times?
Again, easy.
As we remarked in Chapter 32, a modern pagan narcissistically worships his or her own
merely human and created self as ‘God’, as if he or she were
his or her own ultimate & all-powerful ‘Creator’ and thus
unquestionable ‘religious authority’.
Don’t quite get the distinction?
Ancient pagans worshipped other creatures,
real or imaginary, earthly or celestial, as ‘gods’, submitting
to the religious authority of these ‘gods’ (or to the priests
of these ‘gods’, to be exact). Meanwhile, modern neo-pagans worship
--- and even if they don’t fully realize what they are doing, or are,
some of them, clueless as to what they are doing --- their own individual selves
as if they are ‘God’ and their own individual selves as if
they are ‘infallible religious authorities’. As a result, they most
certainly do not ever want to
submit to, or follow, anyone who does
not agree with their highly exalted self-assessment or who refuses to cooperate with
whatever they choose to do in their state of a totally amazing, fabulous and
arrogant self-deification.
Are you starting to get the big picture?
But, then, secondly, above in the second
paragraph of this 90th chapter, I contrasted between the terms
‘traditional’ or ‘medieval’, and the term
‘modernist’. I even used the rather old-fashioned &
Elizabethan-sounding preposition ‘betwixt’, purposely making the contrast
greater by using this odd word, ‘betwixt’, that now seems to us
‘archaic’.
So what’s the distinction between an archaic and
therefore ‘traditional’ or ‘medieval’ person of the
so-called ‘Dark Ages’ (or ‘Middle Ages’, which is what
‘medieval’ means) and a ‘modernist’ person of more
recent times, especially the last half century?
Once more, easy.
Even if not everyone in the world became Catholic
during the last two thousand years, the dominant part of the world since
then --- which is Europe and her heirs,
as any honest and intelligent person knows --- was, at one time in the
Middle Ages, Catholic.
And Catholicism tells us that every intelligent human being
(and whether or not Catholic) has the Law
of Natural Reason on his or her heart. Hence, if the dominant part of the world is Roman Catholic
and everybody else, who is non-Catholic, is both heavily
influenced by Catholic European nations and shaped by the Law
of Natural Reason in their hearts, then
what does this reality overwhelmingly
tend to make the world back then, at least at some point, howsoever
brief in places, around the Middle
Ages?
Right --- ‘traditional’ or
‘medieval’.
And what makes ‘traditionalists’ different from
‘modernists’?
Correct…
Traditional people follow the Law of Natural Reason (even if not perfectly) and Roman Catholics
are definitely traditional
(and even when they’re being wicked
Catholics!). As a result, modernist
people are persons who more and more straight out reject Roman
Catholicism, along with every traditional teaching and traditional rule, as
time goes by (and regardless of
whether or not they fully grasp what they’re doing), and modernized people very much
like and love these new
ideas and new customs, or new laws and new rules, of our
completely upended, oh-so-very-contemporary, modern… and thus
anti-traditional… revolutionary era.
So, then, thirdly, what’s the difference
between (or ‘betwixt’…) the Old World Order and the New
World Order that has visibly fallen into place more and more the past
250 years or so, speaking approximately about things that take some time to
unfold?
Correct again.
The Old World Order upheld the Law of Natural Reason and,
ultimately, a more and more Catholicized world; whereas, the New World
Order opposes the Law of Natural Reason and, ultimately, hates
the idea of Catholicism --- or any traditional religion or morality ---
existing anywhere in the world as
if Roman Catholicism or traditional teaching & morality is good, true,
right, proper, ‘desirable’, ‘appropriate’,
‘healthy’, ‘inclusive’ or
(put-in-your-favorite-modernist-euphemism-here), and, consequently, a normal
and tolerable way of life that we can allow to exist.
End of sentence.

+++ 91. What Is the Beast? +++
(A Tale of Ten & Seven, Part 1)
This is, as we remarked, the ‘self-deification’ of modern humanity.
Which brings us back full circle to
‘seven’. Remember that from Chapter 80?
Six is the number of a human being. (Apocalypse
13:18. We’ll explain the reference to “six hundred sixty-six”
(DRC) later on.) Whereas seven is the number of the Triune God and Creator of
All That Exists, which things exist because He makes them ‘ex nihilo’... Latin for ‘out of
nothing’. (Apocalypse 3:1, 4:5 & 5:6. Again, hang in there
and we’ll explain these verses mentioning “the seven spirits of
God” (DRC) after awhile.)
The point is, human beings are made in the
“image of God.” (Genesis 9:16 DRC) We look like Him
but are not actually Him; we are
His Divine & Created Reflection while NOT His Actual & Uncreated
Being.
Which is why the Psalmist,
“What is man that thou art mindful of
him? [Of what importance is a mere human being that You, God, would even
waste time thinking about us?] Or the son of man that thou visitest
him? [Or important enough that
You, O God, send Yourself to us like a human
being, the Eternally Divine Jesus Christ? King David makes a messianic
prophecy here regarding his own legal descendant, from a human
perspective. See as well, for instance, Matthew 17:9 for one of Jesus’
many references in the Gospels to Himself as the “son of Man” (DRC).]
Thou hast [you have] made him a
little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: and hast set him over the works of thy hands
[over the things that You have made out of nothing]. Thou hast subjected all things under his
feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields. The birds
of the air, and the fishes of the sea, that pass
through the paths of the sea. [You, God Almighty, make our humanity just a
little less amazing & powerful than spiritual beings like You and the
angels, nevertheless giving to this humanity --- unlike the angels
but like Your Divine Self --- supreme authority over a wonderful
realm, the visible earth and all of the physical creation.]”
(Psalm 8:5-9 [4-8] DRC)
Do you grasp what’s going on?
God made us ‘look like Him’ to show
that we are His… and
that we are to be like Him,
including ruling a great ‘realm’ like Him in the beginning till we
committed Original Sin, but that, if
we cooperate and obey Him in
His One & Only Roman Catholic Religion, we can still be with Him via the God-man, Jesus Christ, and the
hypostatic union, ruling with Him
as One in Jesus Christ over a
new heaven and new earth forevermore.
The choice, then is
this:
Do we want Divinity on His terms or our
terms?
Right now, most of the modern world is
essentially proclaiming:
“We want it on our terms. We don’t
care what our ancestors used to believe.”
In other words, we shall be like “Gods” (Genesis 3:5c DRC), and rebel against the True God of the True
Church, which God & His Church are ROMAN
CATHOLIC and no other so-called ‘religion’,
‘philosophy’, ‘god’ or ‘theory of origin and
purpose’.
Period.
+++ 92. What Is the Beast? +++
(A Tale of Ten & Seven, Part 2)
And so we see “six” (Apocalypse 13:18
DRC) trying to be “seven” (Apocalypse 3:1, 4:5 & 5:6 DRC), but,
just like the Devil, like Lucifer refusing to obey & humble himself,
Michael & his angels cast such rebels out of Heaven. (Apocalypse 12:8-9)
Because Seven (Creator God) is willing to take
Six (Created Humanity) unto Himself, joining us with Himself… but on His terms, not ours. Whereas we, the Six and Created Humanity want
Seven and the Creator God on our
terms, vaunting ourselves, defying
the real God by deifying our
own selves --- like a luciferian dragon --- pretending to be ‘God’ all alone, in and of ourselves, without having to cleave to the Catholic God.
This is bestial and irrational.
And today, like the seas, we cover the earth.
And, like the sands of these seas, the Dragon
stands upon us (Apocalypse 12:18), ruling
over us, because that’s what we did when our first parents, Ss. Adam
& Eve, decided to rebel against God, partaking of the forbidden fruit,
in order to be like “Gods”.
(Genesis 3:5 DRC) We handed over authority of this earth to him, the
Devil, so that, just as
Air, because he is spirit and thus atmospheric, i.e., like the air we breathe.
And Dragon, because dragons spout fire and fly through the air.
And where does Satan go, where is his final
abode?
Right.
Hell itself, at the heart of the earth.
And what is the most typical description of hell
--- what do even our Darwinistic and
materialist (in the philosophical sense of ‘nature is all there is, there
is no supernatural’) scientists tell us about the center of the earth?
--- what are the adjectives we most commonly hear in
conjunction with hell and earth’s core regions?
Correct.
Fiery and hot.
They burn, and the Devil burns, and he, the Dragon, will burn us.
We will all of us burn together with
Satan… if we let him continue
to lie to us and continue to believe in all of his abominable
religious heresies and moral falsehoods.
His Oceanic Beast will continue as well just as long as
pretty much all of humanity continues to believe in, or kowtow to, the
Dragon’s Religion of Modernism and a New Age of Luciferian
‘Light’ and consequently dark New World Order.
End of sentence.
Which is why they seek, like
their diabolic father, to rule on high.
Both figuratively & literally, we humans
invade the celestial realm on our
terms.
We build a modern Tower of Babel --- English now being the default global
language, undoing the multiplicity of languages that divided our human race
right after the Great Flood, God foiling their attempt to “reach to heaven” (Genesis 11:4c DRC) --- in our
hearts (believing in the
Religion of Modernism while rejecting all that is Catholic or traditional and
of the Law of Natural Reason) and in our minds.
For we even dare to attempt, flabbergastingly --- under the guise of a thing we
call ‘space travel’ --- an invasion of the heavens and thus become
the ‘Gods’ we
already believe we are.
That is to say, our clever minds have invented
rockets and other cutting edge technologies to journey through the heavens
(‘space’). As a result, the most daring of human intellects now
dream of spreading ourselves throughout the universe and so make our
‘species’… as well as
our individual consciousnesses, mayhap, if not each individual biological
body… capable of living ‘forever’. Or, at least,
able to live until the so-called ‘heat death’ of the cosmos
‘billions of years’ in the future --- though some today have the
audacity to propose that we may discover other ‘universes’ (a multiverse!) and even learn how to enter them, or
manipulate a cosmic ‘froth’ of quantum ‘bubbles’ that
--- imagine they --- goes on and on perpetually, making us, along with
other sentient species who ‘evolve’ into existence, the Universal Masters & Creators of All
That We Survey.
This is truly the primary and spiritual
significance --- whilst physical, too --- of Jesus’ Beloved Disciple,
John the Evangelist, telling us about a bizarre yet intriguing “…beast
coming up out of the sea, having seven heads…”

But there is also a secondary and spiritual
import that --- whilst spiritual, yes --- nevertheless is very earthly and
physical, too, correlating with real and visible things here on the terrestrial
sphere below. Such as?
Well, dear reader, have you studied geography or
examined a globe? Have you counted all of the continents on the earth’s
surface? They are seven in
number. Curious, eh?
To wit:

Except… have you ever noticed that
To the contrary, Europe is a part of Asia, distinguished from Asia by a real
yet arbitrarily-defined and
humanly-devised ‘boundary’ --- a custom since ancient times,
although debatable and shifting somewhat over the centuries --- where today the
Ural and Caucasus Mountains happen to cut across the gargantuan territory that
actually exists as one single
landmass composed of both
‘Europe’ and
‘Asia’.
This is why scholars refer to this hugest of
continents as
Meaning, in reality,
A question, then:
Why did someone in the past artificially divide off Europe from
Eurasia on our maps as if it were its own ‘separate’ continent
--- as if ‘distinct’ from the real and very gigantic continent
of Eurasia --- in the first place… and why do we follow this
custom?
It’s as if someone thought the number seven imperative when it comes
to continents. Almost like the fabled ‘seven seas’. (Granted,
there’s a tiny hullabaloo over ‘Zealandia’,
a sunken Pacific landmass; but it’s only a remnant of a relatively
‘small’
Fascinating?
I agree.
So fascinating that it impressed on me, in my
meanderings around the world and pondering over its many places, occupants
& phenomena, that Our Creator most surely never formed it
‘accidentally’ or with no forethought. Au contraire, He had
everything in His Mind from all of eternity. And, while this idea is
‘taboo’ for most modern people --- especially those who are
‘scientists’ and hence must dogmatically adhere to
Darwinistic ‘randomness’ and consequent
‘purposelessness’ of cosmic & biologic ‘evolution’
over billions and billions and billions of years --- it doesn’t take too
much effort, for an intelligent and unbiased mind, to realize how this
Darwinistic teaching is bogus.
I mean, think about it. If there’s an
all-powerful and all-knowing Creator… well,
then, why is it that we ‘must’ believe the earth and the
cosmos are a product of ‘randomness’ and, consequently,
‘purposeless’ at the start and in the ultimate scheme of
things?
Why, indeed? Hm.
Let’s be a snitch and reveal the true
modernist motive for demanding ‘randomness’ and
‘purposelessness’ in a wholly ‘material’ and
‘natural’ --- and hence necessarily ‘non-supernatural’ and ‘evolving’ --- world that’s ‘billions of years’
old:
Because an all-powerful & all-knowing Creator
automatically and unavoidably implies a serious and definite obligation,
on our parts (for those of us who have
adequate minds, that is, to grasp the significance of being created and
hence a mere creature), to seek for this Creator’s Purpose
for our existence, and what it is, exactly, the Maker of Everything created us to do in the midst of this
vast everything.
So why did
the Almighty give earth the number of continents it has?
And why claim it’s ‘seven’ when
they add up to ‘six’?
Unless… but,
oh! the idea is outrageous…
So very outrageous. Yet perhaps true?
I trust the longsuffering reader will forgive me
for what I’m about to suggest. It’s just that it’s not
‘acceptable’ or ‘believable’ or ‘backed up by any evidence’
--- claim the scientists who pontificate as if ‘infallible
popes’. Like the Great Flood that covered our earth to punish sin, the
shocking idea smacks of ‘catastrophism’
and the wicked rebuked.
But what is
this forbidden notion?
+++ 94. What Is the Beast? +++
(A Tale of Ten & Seven, Part 4)
Atlantis.
Now, before anyone snorts with contempt ---
thinking ‘how ridiculous!’ --- let us
remember that one of the greatest minds on earth, Plato, spoke of it as a
real place. This ancient Greek philosopher wrote at least twice in
some detail about this famous continent (albeit one of his accounts is
mysteriously incomplete), his student, Aristotle, one of the first persons we
know of to doubt its veracity. Notwithstanding, even a skeptic of
Plato’s accounts is forced to contend with an indisputable fact,
something the latest modern intellectual presumes is ‘impossible’.
And what is this ‘impossible’ fact?
We state it carefully:
How is it we can think all ancient people of Plato’s
time (circa 400 BC) around the Mediterranean Sea were ignorant of most
of the earth’s oceans & continents when, in fact, he plainly states
--- and describes --- the Mediterranean as being a relatively
‘small’ body of water and not a real ocean like the immense
sea past the ‘Columns of Hercules’ (read: the ‘Strait of
Gibraltar’, where European Spain and African Morocco nearly touch)?
Moreover, how is it he was also correct, in describing this ‘real
ocean’ past Gibraltar (the Atlantic Ocean, obviously), that another
continent lies opposite Europe across the Atlantic in the far west,
which we people of European descent now know, thanks to Mr. Columbus, is
America? How on earth did Plato know about this?
How could he, ‘ignorant’ ancient, know
about these things?
The conclusion is sobering.
Plato was clearly demonstrating knowledge during
ancient times that we moderns assume, out of thin air with smug arrogance, is something no one way
back then, in the region around the
The epistemologic person investigates impartially.
He or she examines all of the evidence,
from every side, never claiming to have ‘certainty’
in the matter prior to investigating thoroughly without a bias
that demands a pre-ordained outcome --- especially when blatant evidence proves this bias is wrong.
Period.
Where to start an impartial investigation,
though?
Plato is our best source of information regarding
Atlantis, the very name of this great continent persisting till this day in the
names of the Atlantic Ocean (where Atlantis was situated, per Plato) and
the Atlas Mountains in north Africa (a region which, apparently,
Atlantis colonized, or took over, at the height of its power). These two facts
alone are highly indicative of Atlantis’ existence. But even if, as
skeptics contend, these pair of facts --- plus tons of other linguistic &
cultural evidence --- are merely ‘circumstantial’, they are
nevertheless evidence that, when added up in total, becomes overwhelming, with many words,
names, customs or motifs from both sides of the Atlantic (before Europeans came to the
Americas en masse since the 1500s!) plainly pointing to a common origin.
What’s more, many peoples of old around the
Atlantic Ocean preserve ancient, pre-Columbian memories of an Atlantean-type land existing between Europe and
Yet were that not enough, oceanography of the
past 200 years offers overwhelming circumstantial evidence as well. (So why don’t oceanographers or
scientists recognize this evidence for what it indicates, the confused or
skeptical reader may ask? Simple --- because they’re
not looking for it. They’re not even asking the rational
questions which would lead them to suspect that there is both a mystery
and an obvious explanation for this mystery. It’s so far off their
mental radar that it’s literally beyond their knowledge or willingness
to consider.) For instance, sandy beaches deep in the waters of the
Atlantic Ocean that could only form above water as the result of waves
continuously washing against dry land; or tiny fossils of fresh water diatoms
in sediments dredged from the briny depths which could never be there unless
once above sea as a fresh water lake. Most oceanographers or other scientists
are either unaware of these facts (because
they are never taught them in the first place, since the few who are
aware don’t know how to deal with them) or else, if aware, reject
them with a kneejerk reaction, not knowing what to do with them. After all,
every scholar nowadays thinks ‘plate tectonic’ theory is inarguably
correct. Ergo, how could an entire
continent submerge in a single day?
This is why they can’t even see the evidence right in front of their noses.
I could go on, but this is not meant to be a book
about Atlantis.
If skeptical --- yet humble, too --- then you
need to do some research.
I merely note the obvious: Our God formed the earth with seven
continents.
And He did so for an excellent reason --- because we’re made in His Image,
and He intended us to rule like Him on the earth. Seven continents thus symbolizes
our divinely-bestowed kingdom and supernaturally-appointed purpose.
But it also symbolizes (from Heaven’s point of view), with the loss of Atlantis, the humbling of our world from its
rebellious ‘self exaltation’ right after the Great Flood and
resulting ‘demotion’ of our ‘god-like’ selves to mere creatures…
by reducing the former SEVEN
continents on earth to only SIX today, proving that God will NOT be
overcome by His image.
Do you savvy, my dear soul? Do you comprehend
what’s going on?
One more thing (and an important observation,
too!):
From Heaven’s perspective, the seven heads of the
oceanic beast symbolize, as well, the fall of

Just as Jesus seemed to be
‘conquered’ by dying and being laid in the tomb --- and just as St. Peter, the first pope, denied
Christ in his fear, afraid of Jesus’ enemies --- so,

‘denied’ Jesus by failing to vigilantly defend the
Catholic Faith, allowing the Church to ‘die’, just like Christ.
The tomb is real… and Jesus’ Body (the
Catholic Church) is laid in it.
For a time, that is. Hence, conquered? No.

The Vaticanus --- or

the Papacy in practice ruling the Church from what once was the Lateran Palace
--- now St. John Lateran, the mother cathedral of the Diocese of Rome
and thus where St. Peter’s Throne actually exists, from whence a
true pope presides over God’s Catholic Church --- upon the Caelian
Hill (or ‘heavenly hill’, the
meaning of the Latin word from which its old family name derived). Though
debated by modern scholars, early Church fathers thought it significant, when
they mentioned it, that ‘Vaticanus’
implies ‘prophecy’. (Accordingly, a true pope
‘prophesies’ by upholding the Catholic Faith of Jesus.)
Furthermore, when old Rome’s walls extended to include the Vatican Hill,
this symbolically made an ‘octave’ of hills, like the diatonic (seven note) scale
of musicologists, ascending from C to D to E to F to G to A to B…
and back to C.

history --- St. Peter’s Throne, placing an ‘anti-Peter’

Of course, different countries and different
ethnicities have used different ways of numbering (for instance, ancient

short time in the 1790s, to impose an ‘updated’ calendar founded on

accept this innovation.)
Now, counting in
‘tens’ is NOT
intrinsically ‘evil’ or ‘sinful’.
Howbeit, anything --- and I mean nearly anything!
--- can be used for evil.
Such is the case with the ‘decimal’
or ‘base ten’ system. And the Metric System, a counting by
‘tens’ for the purpose of measurement that pervades our world
today, oddly causes the majority of ‘science-loving’ or
‘educated’ people… who think themselves very
‘rational’ or ‘learned’… to be so weirdly &
intensely arrogant about, so passionately attached to, this measuring system
(sort of like the grammar ‘Nazis’ we run into online)… that it’s as if it were a matter of
‘life & death’ to use Metric alone.
I mean, try talking to these persons logically
about the pros or cons.
Try conveying to them, respectfully &
intelligently, the possible advantages of certain nations retaining their
rather ‘old fashioned’ way of measuring things. Nevertheless, be forewarned, beloved soul. Because if
you show the teeniest doubt or least reservation in practically forcing everybody to use the
Metric System then you will, dear sir or madam, be roundly condemned and
verbally sliced & diced, mercilessly, into the ugly, malformed and lilliputian ‘mental midget’ you so obviously
are, per the one you’re attempting to hold a courteous, civilized, calm,
helpful & reasonable discussion with.
We therefore ask:
What on earth is going on?
Why such emotional devotion to such a ‘rational’
thing?
And the steady and unwavering rejoinder to the
truly curious:
Because it’s the zeitgeist of our apostate era, the Spirit of Modernism.
And the Oceanic Beast most adamantly does not want any
significant trace of the Old World Order left in place, lest someone
nostalgically pine away for, or, perhaps (may
Lucifer forbid! exclaims this global ‘sea monster’), actively
seek and strive to become the way we once thought, spoke & behaved.
Hence this mysterious emotional devotion to
Metric, and despotic wish to practically force
everybody in the whole wide world to adopt it as the sole way they use to measure things, whether that be
velocity, distance, weight or mass, data, electric charge or current,
temperature, intrinsic luminosity, and so forth and so on. Hence, too, why this
peculiarly French notion put in place in their country after their Freemasonic Revolution (in 1789) but right before their ‘First
Republic’ started falling apart with Napoleon’s rise (1799), was
then further systematized and expanded into the global phenomenon it is today,
being officially the ‘International System of Units’ (yet,
as an acronym, known as ‘SI’ instead of ‘IS’ due to its
official French title being the ‘Système
International d’Unités’).
Is it sinking in, dear soul?
The Metric System is not --- repeat, NOT --- intrinsically
‘sinful’ or ‘evil’ (i.e., a good Catholic can
use Metric and it’s okay, it
can even be simpler or more sensible to use the Metric System in many
cases…), nevertheless, it’s just one more thing the
‘powers-that-be’ have imposed
on the world (although the USA, UK, Liberia & Myanmar are often rued as
‘sluggards’ since they either haven’t legally shoved Metric
down the throats of their citizens at all, or else allow simultaneous use of
older measurement systems, to some extent, along with the internationally
dominant Metric).
And why would the New World Order ‘powers-that-be’
do such a thing?
To fully abolish the
But the mystery of “ten” goes
further, its symbolism multi-layered. St. John tells us:
“And the angel said to me: ‘Why dost
thou wonder? [Why are you so confused without hope of understanding these
strange, symbolic things?] I will tell thee [you] the mystery of the woman [the
harlot or prostitute, not to be mixed up with the Holy Woman spoken of
in Apocalypse 12], and of the beast
which carrieth [carries] her, which hath [has] the seven
heads and ten horns. The beast,
which thou sawest [which you saw], was [at one time
in the past], and [now at this time as I speak] is not [no longer
existing as it did formerly], and shall come up [again] out of the
bottomless pit, and go [return] into destruction [hell]: and the
inhabitants on the earth (whose names are
not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world)
[people who are not Catholic or do not die as good Catholics,
thereby losing Heaven and falling into hell everlastingly, which God in His
Omniscience knows from eternity] shall wonder [will be amazed],
seeing the beast that was [at one time], and [then afterward] is not [yet comes
back from out of the bottomless pit, unexpectedly, later on]. And here is
the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven
heads are seven mountains, upon which the woman sitteth
[sits], and they are seven kings:
five are fallen, one is [as of this moment as we speak], and the other is not
yet come: and when he is come, he
must remain a short time. And
the beast which was, and is not: the same [beast] also is the eighth
[the eighth head of the beast, as it were, being this same beast risen again
upon the earth], and is of the seven [belongs to the seven heads, that
is to say, they’re all the same thing], and goeth
[goes] into destruction [hell forever]. And the TEN horns which thou sawest, are TEN kings, who have not yet received a
kingdom, but shall receive power as kings one hour after the beast [shortly
after the beast arises, seizing power over the earth once again]. These have one design [a single
purpose and single goal]: and their strength and power they shall deliver to
the beast [they’ll use all their earthly power & authority
on behalf of the beast, to make this beast even stronger & more
invincible]. These [earthly rulers] shall fight with the
Lamb [the Lamb of God, Jesus, meaning His Roman Catholic Body and thus good
Catholics], and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and they that are
with him are called, and elect, and faithful.’ And he said to me: ‘The waters
which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth [where the harlot or prostitute sits as
on a throne, ruling over them], are peoples,
and nations, and tongues [human beings with different
languages].’” (Apocalypse 17:7-15 DRC)
+++ 96. What Is the Beast? +++
(A Tale of Ten & Seven, Part 6)
Notice right away, dear reader, how this passage
from the Apocalypse confirms nicely what we’ve said about the
“seven heads” of the “beast” representing --- in more
physical and terrestrial senses --- both the seven continents of the earth and
the seven hills of Italy’s imperial capitol millennia ago. (Apocalypse
17:7e, d DRC)
For what does it say further on?
“The seven heads are seven mountains…”
(Apocalypse 17:9b DRC)
And what is
a continent when you think
about it?
Standing on the lower surface of the earth… with our world
stripped of its swaddling seas… what would the seven continents look
like to us, rising to heights unknown, towers of gargantuan and
unimaginable girth?
Correct --- like vast mountains.
Likewise the summits of ancient
In both cases, the term ‘head’ equates to
massive heights of rock & soil.
Notwithstanding there is still one more symbolism
unveiled here as “seven heads”. (Apocalypse 17:7e & 9b DRC) To
wit:
“The seven heads… are [also] seven kings:
five are fallen [no longer exist
right now, being a part of history], one is [as of this moment as we talk],
and the other is not yet come [does
not yet exist]: and when he is come [when finally he exists in the future], he must remain a
short time [stick around and dominate
and rule the earth for a relatively brief span of time].”
(Apocalypse 17:9b, d-10 DRC)
Now, I don’t claim total accuracy or
‘infallible’ interpretation of the Apocalypse.
I do, though, insist once again that, being part
of inerrant Sacred Scripture and thus inspired by God, that the Apocalypse ---
for all its ‘bizarreness’ and ‘strangeness’ which
baffles yet transfixes people at the same time --- it must mean something.
I also insist, to be rational, that God did not put it in the Bible for no reason.
Ergo, for it to have any earthly and human use at
all, then somebody… at some point in time… must be able to comprehend
it more fully & accurately, or else why
did Our Creator bother inspiring it and putting it in Sacred Scripture in
the first place?
For what purpose? What’s the point?
Which is why I dare to say:
Now’s the time.
Now is the moment, during the Great Apostasy,
that it’s going to start making a whole lot more sense than it’s
ever made before to most Catholics most of the time in the past, during
centuries when its meaning was far more obscure and
difficult.
As a result, I’m confident of the
interpretations I’ve given the reader thus far.
There’s little doubt in my mind that, until
this point, I am truly & really giving you, my dear soul, the correct (and
fuller) understanding of what the Apocalypse and its strange or mysterious
allegories mean, more than most Catholics have been able to do in times past
(apart from great saints, of course, who I gladly bow to and venerate as far
wiser than I). But I’m only moderately confident about the next
interpretation of the “seven heads” as “seven kings”.
(Apocalypse 17:9b, d DRC) I think I’m on the right track; I think
I’ve gotten it pretty well figured out. Howbeit, I’m also open to
the possibility that either myself or else another true Roman Catholic might,
very soon, improve on the interpretation’s accuracy with even better
insight into the symbolism.
Yet what is the interpretation I’m
proffering?
As far as I can tell, most interpreters of the
“seven kings” go astray by assuming, facilely, that
“kings” must mean seven separate & distinct individual persons who are these
“kings”, not fathoming the allegory
intended here.
Which is?
Well, what is a king the king over?
Right. A kingdom --- the domain or realm of a king.
Moreover, kings may rule empires (and be called
‘emperors’, if they so choose), and empires may exist for some time
in some form or another. That is to say, it (the empire) doesn’t stay the
same the whole time… in fact, empires tend to morph dramatically over
long centuries. The leaders can even change in big ways, seeming to ‘topple’
the empire that, nonetheless, goes on as an empire
regardless of dramatic changes at the top.
The point?
We have, in my opinion, an historical example of
the above proffered interpretation, dovetailing perfectly with the “seven
kings” told of by the angel to St. John, along with the understanding
that --- at John’s moment of existence there on earth in the AD 90s ---
five of these “kings” has already “fallen”, with
“one” ruling right now, and an “other” to come in the future
(which future is now our present era). (Apocalypse 17:9d-10
DRC)
Leading to an obvious and immediate conclusion:
For what kingdom or empire ruled right then & there at that
moment?
Correct… the
Starting with the Roman Empire, can we construct a series of
empires answering to the scriptural passage, with the Roman Empire, in some
real sense, being the sixth of seven overall, the seventh empire
yet to come, but now, during our times, actually existing?
I believe we can.
Remember, though, we’re trying to view this
through the eyes of Heaven and
its way of seeing things ---
not ours. Ergo, we’re not
trying to represent every single empire that has ever existed anywhere on earth
for a circa 5000 years (the amount of time it’s been since the Great
Flood, per the Roman Martyrology), or always agree with modernist scholars when
it comes to human history. No, we’re trying to find a series of empires Heaven views as significant and
which sequence, mostly unbroken, for the last five millennia.
Which is why we begin with Nemrod [Nimrod] and the
Remember him?
We’ve touched on Nemrod,
or the infamous
Yet God sabotaged the building of this Tower,
didn’t He?
Josephus informs us that Nemrod
convinced the people that God was trying to destroy them again with another
horrible worldwide flood by commanding them to disperse and colonize the entire
earth. He (Nemrod) then ordered them to construct an
immense and gargantuan tower of hard-baked brick and bitumen (asphalt,
impervious to water) in the plain of Babylon between the two mighty rivers of
the Tigris and
As Sacred Scripture recalls to our collective
human memory, “…the earth was of one tongue [language],
and of the same speech…” at this point in time during Nemrod’s Rebellion. (Genesis 11:1 DRC)
Consequently, what did God do to stop the
building --- not to mention compel
them to obey what He had said about spreading out and re-colonizing the
earth?
Yes, He divided
their languages and made it impossible for them to live in peace next
to each other… let alone continue constructing the gigantic Tower at
+++ 97. What Is the Beast? +++
(A Tale of Ten & Seven, Part 7)
Now think carefully.
If you’re humble and honest enough to
seriously consider what Sacred Scripture says, then what would happen when God
divides humanity into 12 to 72 --- or thereabout --- languages? (I haven’t
the luxury of time to explain carefully why I set the boundaries at no less
than 12 and, maybe, no more than 24 to 72 different languages… but these are
very likely the lower & upper limits.) Nemrod’s
a mighty king, so, assuming he goes on ruling those who speak his new language,
then those people… his incipient tribe, as it were… would migrate
under his leadership and seek to establish a separate realm that is autonomous
from the other tribes and their cultures, wouldn’t they?
Of course they would; it only makes sense.
Nor should you get stuck on how soon this happens
after the Great Flood or how ‘few’ they are, supposedly, that
existed at this point in time. A small family with 2.2 or fewer children (even
none!) is a peculiarity of our contemporary times, not the norm for most human beings most of the time in the
past. An ancient Jewish tradition tells us Adam & Eve had 56 children. And after the Flood, with a mere eight
survivors, would not people want to have as many offspring as possible,
to ensure the continuation of humanity?
Naturally.
What’s more, a careful Catholic scholar
notes how several ancient accounts indicate human beings were stronger &
more fruitful near the beginning --- that we have waned and become weaker
overall, physically, since then. This plus the fact that the Bible tells us
people both before and right after the Flood lived much longer lives than we
do now, gives us every reason to believe families were way larger than
they are now… even when compared to the average size of a Catholic
family, say, a century ago (about six children). Then, just to top it off,
there’s powerful circumstantial evidence from ancient times to suggest
that twins and triplets were much more common back then.
The upshot?
While Nemrod was a mere
two generations removed from St. Noe, simple arithmetic
tells us the human race probably grew to 500,000 individuals, at a bare
minimum, within 140 years (and granted Nemrod did not
take full control of humanity until at least one generation had arisen after he reached
manhood)… if not more than 2 million people total. Shocking? Only if you
refuse to do the math, conservatively based on 35 years per generation, together
with an average 40 children per couple, and multiply accordingly for at least
four generations past Noe. Calculating thusly, plenty
of strong hands could work feverishly on a colossal Tower, especially in the
fertile & fluvial
Now let’s say, after God foiled their
project, that Nemrod and his people wandered toward
the west, crossing the Atlantic Ocean as it used to be, finding the amazingly
rich
Of course not. A real Catholic knows God might easily do this.
Just as He suddenly destroyed wicked
Notwithstanding, no real Catholic could think
this is impossible. God covered the
whole earth in a devastating flood, right?
Then how could sinking a mere
continent be unthinkable?
(Incidentally, the Great Flood’s
cataclysmic aftermath explains the so-called ‘Ice Age’ before the
earth settled into a new and dramatically different equilibrium. In addition,
the mammoth continent of Atlantis would have kept warmer southern waters from
circulating to the north Atlantic Ocean, rendering the
upper part of
So while I can’t prove conclusively yet
that Nemrod founded the Empire of Atlantis, it makes
the most sense, and is therefore the first
of earth’s great empires after the Great Flood. For though
“…the beginning of
his kingdom was…” in “
In other words, this wasn’t just a
terrestrial construction project.
Rather, in the ultimate sense it was an occult power play.
The name ‘Babel’
in ancient Hebrew means, metaphorically, ‘confusion’ due to the
people of the earth unable to understand each other anymore after God took away
their single language and divided people into numerous different languages that
they couldn’t comprehend. Yet the language of Hebrew, like the Hebrew
people’s patriarch, Abraham, comes from ancient Babylonia, and
‘Babel’ in that old Semitic language and, perchance, from an
earlier and (presumably) Hamitic word, literally
means ‘gate of God’.
(It’s true contemporary scholars dismiss this interpretation of the
word’s origin; yet up until the mid-20th century it was the
standard academic stance and I, personally, find it the most logical &
convincing --- especially when you consider that a Semitic tongue like Arabic
indubitably uses the term ‘bab’ to mean
‘gate’ while the term ‘el’ in ancient Hebrew… indisputably Semitic and etymologically
linked to the Arabic name for their singularly Muslim deity,
‘Allah’... means ‘god’. Now put the two Semitic
terms together and what do you get? Yes, ‘
The height of hubris?
Indeed.
Just like us today in modern revolutionary times.
By the way, the word ‘occult’ is from
Latin and means ‘to cover over’ or ‘hide’.
In terms of the religious and supernatural or
paranormal, it refers to ‘hidden knowledge’ which not only can make
a person smarter and more knowledgeable, but can, too, give such a person the
power to do things in this visible & physical world (as well as the
invisible & spiritual world) that would be difficult or unfeasible
otherwise.
This is why
the occult is usually associated with evil.
For, whilst occult knowledge is not necessarily
forbidden or wrong, it attracts those human beings who want power over others
for wicked purposes. Indeed, since occult learning eventually runs into
invocations, rituals and prayers that summon or command demonic entities ---
using special powers often unique to particular demons and not always found in
every fallen celestial creature --- then occultism is at the heart of Satanism, and the occult is to
be treated with the utmost of caution & wariness.
And part of the mystery of
the occult is that these fallen celestial creatures were at first unfallen and not evil. They were also created by God, and employed by
Him, in unavoidable connection with
our creation… that is, the
whole cosmos.
As such, they each had special abilities and
duties. One type of angelic creature can do one thing, or has a specific set of
responsibilities, whereas another type of angel can do another thing, or has a
different set of responsibilities. These abilities --- and the duties that go
along with them --- the fallen angels did not entirely lose. Just as Roman Catholic
theology teaches us that there are nine ‘choirs’ or
‘kinds’ of angels, so as well it teaches and implies there are
distinct ‘choirs’ or ‘kinds’ of demons in our world.
Demons that, varying in strength and wickedness and abilities… and somehow tied to this visible
world, such that they cannot escape it or fulfill their fate without
it and us… makes demonic entities curiously subject to both
the operational rules (or ‘physics’) of the visible & invisible
parts of our universe and the things we humans think, do or say.
In other words, they are linked to us.
A link that can only be totally broken by Catholicism.
(Non-Catholic people exorcise demonic spirits,
too, but only a person who is Roman Catholic --- especially a Catholic who is
lawfully a priest in the
This is why
Atlantis resonates so strongly today. The founder & leader of Atlantis
manufactured an occultic pagan
rebellion and miniature Great Apostasy just after the Great Flood, reintroducing
false religion --- and the untrammeled
power of hell --- into the earth. This is the Oceanic Beast first
unveiled and it’s first head (empire & mountain or continent).
This is humanity self-deified,
of the mere six & ten grasping
decimally for “heaven” and the Everlasting Throne and
Self-Eternal Deity of the Singular
Seven. (Genesis 11:4c DRC)
+++ 98. Oceanic Beast Arising?
+++
This is why Atlantis obsesses so many today.
Declared a ‘myth’ by almost all
contemporary scholars or scientists, it is a ‘legend’ refusing to
die or be forgotten by everybody except historians or philosophers of the
arcane. To the contrary, since the 1960s --- and the end of the Vatican II
Pseudo-Council when the “mystery of iniquity” began to work in a
hideously leviathan way as “…he who now holdeth
[restrains]” got “taken out of the way” (2 Thessalonians 2:7
DRC) --- tons have embraced ‘New Age’ religion and wax eloquent
about Atlantis ‘arising’, echoing the famous psychic Edgar
Cayce’s 20th century ‘prophecy’ of Atlantis
starting to rise around 1969. The very
date when humankind (in modern times, at least) first set foot upon our
earth’s moon, building a new tower or lunar ‘stairway’ to
heaven, what occultic masters have taught is the argentine orb of the first
of seven heavens.
Interesting?
I think so, too.
Atlantis was overthrown around 2600 BC.
(New Agers, or other students of the arcane,
nowadays like to say Atlantis was lost circa ‘12,000 BC’… yet
their chronology is no more to be trusted by wise Catholic scholars than the
Darwinist thinking of ‘millions’ or ‘billions’ of
years. A chronology which, because it’s so lengthy, makes New Agers think
Atlantis could easily be this old. Howsobeit, even if not full-fledged New Age
or a student of the arcane, the sea god’s continent continues to be
remembered throughout the world via entertainment such as Stargate or its serial
spin-offs… e.g., Stargate SG-1 and, especially, Stargate Atlantis. Or, still more deliciously
for the student of modern times and regardless of any having preferred ideas
for the lost continent’s age, how about NASA assigning the fourth of her
five space shuttle orbiters with the name of Atlantis? Each of its launches reminded us of the fabled continent
‘rising’ into the heavens. Although, in fairness,
they insisted it only honored a venerable oceanographic research vessel of the
20th century. Yet the question then becomes: so why did oceanographers name a sea ship
--- any ship! --- to honor the memory of lost Atlantis
in the
Thus, the first
head of the Oceanic Beast fell some 4600 years ago.
Where and when did the second head arise?
We haven’t discussed
Asking about certain hieroglyphs and pictures in
this one particular temple, per Plato, an elderly priest told Solon that the
Greeks were a very ‘young’ people, in contrast to Egypt, which was
extremely ‘old’ as a nation and people. He then explained how
catastrophes occur every so often and destroy
peoples’ memories of previous times, the descendants starting all over
again like ‘children’ who are ignorant and forgetful of former
events.
And so he told Solon about the ancient Atlanteans and how this magnificent ‘sea
empire’ had ruled a gigantic island (continent) in the Atlantic Ocean,
colonizing and taking over areas of Europe, Africa and the continent opposite
in the West (America). But as this empire grew more powerful, it also grew more
wicked and tyrannical. It fought a great war with the Athenians in trying to
take over all of Europe & Asia Minor (modern day
Obviously, this account might flatter an Athenian
Greek.
Just as obviously, though, Plato and Solon were
intelligent (Plato undeniably and remarkably so, as his philosophical reasoning
demonstrates!) and both of them plainly believed
in what the Egyptians told them about Athens & Atlantis (or else
why did Solon bother telling anyone about this story, and why did Plato bother
repeating it?).
The priest’s story was flabbergasting --- a
revelation to the Athenians or other Greeks, indeed, who had lost all memory of
this ancient time --- yet why would an elderly priest in Egypt fabricate the
story of Atlantis just to ‘flatter’ a Greek? Egyptians thought
The theory of
‘it-flattered-an-Athenian’ makes little sense.
And while some scholars suggest Plato
‘invented’ the story for its propaganda value alone, wanting to
pump up Athenian morale after embarrassing military defeats, they do so ignoring
or purposely ducking the inarguable point we made in Chapter 94:
Namely, that Plato was absolutely and perfectly right about
the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the American continent opposite
Europe and
Plato’s testimony is too astonishing to
dismiss out of hand.
Doing so reveals one’s own bias and not
an ulterior motive Plato may have had.
And so we grapple with another Platonic inference
(based as well on some cultural memories & facts from the area of north Africa and around the Atlantic basin):
Atlantis either colonized or conquered… or
both…
And yet
Now this is where it can get tricky. Because,

+++ 99. Pyramidal Pretensions?
+++
You see, my dear soul, Our Creator made us for a
purpose.
As a Celestial Father, He adopts humans and gives
us fathers on earth, too.
Every single human being comes from both a father
and a mother. Every single human being has been planted in the womb of a woman,
and the one siring this divine image acts in the stead (place) of
God, procreating just as God Himself creates.
Except we, mere creations, can only
‘form’ while He makes ‘out of nothing’.
Do you savvy?
As reflections of the Divinity, the male sex
‘acts’ like God, with the female sex ‘functioning’ like
His Creation, a Creation that is formed to represent His Uncreated Spirit &
Divinity. Or, to put it still another way, Christ (Creator) plants the seed in His Church
(Creation) and, in this primordial womb of “darkness”… a
formless “void”… procreates,
as it were, the Celestial Fruit of Life & Happiness in the Garden of a
Neverending Paradise of True & Divine Light. (Genesis 1:2a-b DRC)
Too poetical for you?
Then you don’t grasp either the Creator or
His Creation.
He fathomed everything from Eternity; nothing is
chance, nothing beyond Him.
Human beings can’t be Him --- but we can imitate
Him like a reflection.
In Heaven is neither male nor female. (Galatians 3:28)
Yet on earth, there is both
for the time being.
This is the essence of the Great Apostasy.
That is to say, Sister Lucia (the longest living
prophetess of the Church-approved apparition of Our Lady of Fatima), is
reported to have warned that the devil, in his ‘final battle’ on
the earth, would wage war against
the human family & sexuality.
Hence our confusion and
horrible sin over the Sacrament of Matrimony.
God made male & female to procreate.
Whereas we today claim
‘sex’ is only for ‘fun’ or ‘love’.
So which is it? Both sides cannot be totally correct at the same time.
Either one is fully correct, or neither
is fully correct.
Either one rules, or else the other
does.
Which will it be?
God formed the Church of the New Testament with Seven Sacraments, and one of
those imperative sacraments is the Sacrament
of Matrimony. And, whereas matrimony is not equal to religious perfection on earth (being a Catholic
monk or nun), in the grand scheme of things, matrimony (the lesser on
earth) is greater in Heaven, since,
in Everlasting Life, matrimony mirrors on earth
the Beatific Vision of Heaven.
Still not getting it? Let us try one more time.
God made us, His image, to marry Him eternally.
Jesus’ two natures, Divine & Human, are the hypostatic union.
It is this hypostatic union that enables humans
to join with Our Maker.
This is why
there is a
Outside this
The Second Person
of the Trinity, Jesus Christ, became human
to perform this miracle.
That is the hypostatic union. That is the
marriage between God & Humanity.
But why am I going on about this when we’re talking about
Because God makes Fatherhood
to lead.
I.e., men are strong for a reason.
We’re strong-willed & strong-bodied in
order to lead, sire & protect.
We’re fathers to imitate God, to procreate in imitation of His
Divine Creation.
And mothers imitate Creation, to bear the fruit
of the seed (His Eternal Word & Spirit) in the primordial ‘womb of
darkness’ --- the formless
‘void’ or ‘chaos’ (to use an ancient Greek reference)
--- so as to make something
visible & perceivable out of ‘nothing’.
Or, we may say, as recently and carefully
observed in a laboratory in 2016:
Human life begins at conception with a
zinc-powered ‘flash of light’.
And why is this scientific fact so very
important?
Sacred Scripture informs us that God’s
Spirit “moved over the waters.” (Genesis 1:2c DRC) A primordial
deep, after He created the heavens and the earth, that
was in “darkness…” (Genesis 1:2b DRC) Then the Creator
‘spoke’, saying:
“Be light made.” (Genesis 1:3b DRC)
Are you starting to get it now, my beloved soul?
A baby starts in light, growing in a womb’s amniotic water.
And men & women are two sexes so as to
comprehend Creator & Creation.
If you don’t “comprehend it”
then you remain a part of our apostate luciferian
‘brightness’… he who is
an “angel of light” still pretending to be a ‘bearer of
light’ (2 Corinthians 11:14b DRC), the meaning of his Greek-derived name
of ‘Lucifer’… and you belong to his lying, murderous and
satanic “darkness”. (John 1:4b, 8:44 DRC)
Seeing a tiny bit better now?
Don’t give up hope.
If you have good
will, then you will find
understanding.
The Natural Law is written upon your human heart,
the Supernatural Spirit neither powerless nor unwilling to write the Messianic
“law” (Christ’s Law, the Roman Catholic Faith) on that tablet of your soul as well. (1
Corinthians 9:21 & Galatians 6:2 DRC)
But what has this to do with the ancient Egyptian
Empire?
Josephus, that wonderful 1st century Jewish
scholar and (say some) a convert to the Catholic Religion, also tells us about
a very ancient tradition concerning
And Josephus clearly implies this
“stone” monument may still be found during his own
time… in the
Meaning? Well, what “pillars” are in
And which of them is “stone” and the
most impressive by far?
Right… the Great Pyramid at
Yet whatever we may want to think about secret
prophecy, the mathematical and geometrical aspects are easily substantiated by
anyone with some learning and a brain, while the implications of
Josephus’ reference are sobering. It’s also sobering that, aside
from Egypt and Sudan, or a few other places in the Mideast, pyramidal constructions
are found in Central America, not to mention hidden in jungles elsewhere in the
tropical parts of the Americas (which only aerial or satellite imagery, plus
flora-penetrating lidar, are starting to unveil), as
well as certain observers who insist they’ve seen what look like huge
pyramids in various ‘Atlantean’ areas
beneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Bizarre?
Maybe.
Yet the epistemologic mind considers regardless
of bias. So why do strange pyramids exist on either side of the Atlantic basin?
And why do stone monoliths from thousands of years ago appear everywhere on
earth? Something is going on here.
But the pyramids?
They represent hierarchy, and the rule of Heaven
over earth. The Great Pyramid itself, in its unique angle of slope (roughly
51.5 degrees), is like the rays of the sun shining upon the earth at the same
angle, from our ground-dwelling human perspective.
Which is why, perhaps, the pagan Egyptians
worshipped their sun god.
In any case, a pyramid climbs from massive base
to singular pinnacle… the supreme
pinnacle of Divine Rule,
which Lucifer tried to appropriate. The sun represents this Light of God
--- and not that it is itself, the sun, a sort of ‘god’, being a
merely created thing --- something Satan and high-ranking Freemasons steal
for themselves with an ‘all seeing eye’ pictured on American
one dollar bills as the top of an Egyptian-style pyramid, shining like an
“angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14b DRC), former ‘bearer
of light’ himself transmogrified into a celestial thug, murdering truth
and human souls.
Again, mere chance? Mere chance we now mock & destroy matrimony?
No. It is the epitome of rebellion, like a
pyramid turned upside down.
The base is lied
to, thinking (ludicrously) it’s on top. Such a pyramid cannot stand without toppling. And the God
truly on top cannot be
displaced, while the liar pretending
to be the top --- ruling the deceived
--- is darkness incarnate, a
fallen angel trying to fly.
