Yet in a fallen (sinful) world,
And despite the opportunities Our Merciful
Creator gives us to love Him as we ought (read: become true &
good Roman Catholics), thereby receiving a real hope for regaining
Paradise (read: save our souls by staying true & good Roman Catholics)… most
of us, most of the time, fail the True God & His True Religion,
giving in, instead, to our spiritual & carnal whims for sin, and ultimately to some form of false
religion.
The Persians in many ways followed Cyrus the Great’s good example of Old Testament Catholicity.
For instance, whether or not most Persians --- or the rest of the inhabitants
of the Assyro-Chaldeo-Persian Empire --- rejected Sumero-Akkadian-derived paganism, at least some of them
certainly did. The proof? Well, dear soul, are you
familiar with the Magi or ‘Wise Men’ in Matthew’s Gospel who
came to worship Jesus? We read:
“When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem
of Juda [a
small town just a few miles from God’s Chosen City of Jerusalem, the name
of which, in Hebrew, literally means ‘house of bread’],
in the days of king Herod, behold [you
see], there came WISE MEN FROM
THE EAST to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have
seen his STAR in the east,
and are come to adore him [worship Him as Almighty God from All of
Eternity].” (Matthew 2:1-2 DRC)
The word ‘magi’ (or its singular
form, ‘magus’), by the way, simply comes from Old Persian via Greek
via Latin, and means originally, apparently, ‘to be able’. That is
to say, inferentially, when you are a ‘capable’ person, then you are learned or priestly, and able
to know & do what others cannot know or do. It does not automatically imply
‘sorcery’ or other hellish & occultic-derived practices. Much
like the term ‘wizard’ --- which is from Middle English and at
first meant someone ‘wise’ and therefore ‘learned’ or
‘skilled’ --- only later
became associated with, and besmirched by, the notion of a diabolical sorcery.
Of course, in contemporary times in our part of a big world, the
‘magician’ is usually thought of as a ‘stage magician’ and not someone sorcerous, a person who entertains us
with clever tricks & theatricality, with nary a demonic spell, paranormal manipulation, or supernatural
& pharmacological enchantments involved.
The point?
These Magi or “wise men” were highly
learned persons. (Matthew 2:1c DRC) That they journeyed very far looking for “he that is born king
of the Jews” and were “come to adore him” is proof that they
were surely not pagans but
practitioners of the Old Testament
Religion, which is God’s Religion before Christ. (Matthew 2:2a, c DRC)
How so?
Well, think about it. A small remnant of people
from the Israelite’s Southern Kingdom was brought to the
As the Book of Daniel tells us, St. Daniel became
the second most powerful man in this Empire and remained highly influential all
the way through to the Medo-Persian epoch of
leadership. His brave & miraculous testimony, as well as
the brave & miraculous deeds of his three comrades, were, in and of
themselves, enough to convert many non-Jewish inhabitants there from the
falsehoods of Sumero-Akkadian-derived paganism. In
all likelihood, other outstanding members of this remnant were probably
influential, too.
Meaning?
That some of the citizens of the Assyro-Chaldeo-Persian Empire became members of God’s
Old Testament Church, eschewed paganism and false gods, and gained from this
remnant not only the sacred books that we know today as the first part of the
Bible in the Old Testament, but, as well, almost certainly obtained --- and
retained --- the writings of many prophets during that time… such as Isaias [Isaiah], Jeremias
[Jeremiah], Ezechiel, or Daniel himself, and part, if
not all, of the minor prophets, or precious Psalms written by King St. David
and other Holy-Ghost-inspired writers. In this way, they knew of the Promise of
the One True God to send the world His Only Begotten Son, the Messias
[Messiah], via His Old Covenant Catholic Church, composed mostly of ethnic
Jews.
Hence why the Magi would
come to
Yet how did they know the precise time for
the God-Man, Jesus Christ, to arrive? Because they were also learned in the celestial zodiac
and ancient astrology.
“For we have seen his star in the east…” said they. (Matthew 2:2a DRC)
Mind you, we are not talking
about the silly version of ‘astrology’ so common today in our part
of the world. We’re talking about real
astrology, a term which simply means, in the original Greek, ‘the
study of the stars’.
In this real and God-given version of the
knowledge of the stars, there is no silliness about the stars
‘controlling’ our destiny, rendering human beings into mere puppets
or helpless pawns of fate. No --- we’re talking about God putting stars
in the heavens for a reason, to be “signs”.
(Genesis 1:14d DRC) The Omniscient
Creator knows everything, including both the future and the past.
Neither is murky or unseeable to Him, any more than
the present is for us. Indeed, being All-Knowing and hence far more proficient
than we are (who don’t always even know very much about our present), we
can say, honestly, how He knows both future & past far better than we as
individuals are able to know our fleeting present. As such, God can (and did!)
place celestial bodies in the heavens for
a purpose, setting them into
motion with the particular & singular, or regular & periodic,
arrangement for which He made them… to correlate, so to speak, with a very distant future to come (in relation to
evanescent humanity, bound as we are, individually & collectively, by the
dimension of an inexorable passage of time).
Which means?
That if you have the wisdom to understand what these celestial
bodies and their motions through the heavens are a sign of… you
consequently can know or anticipate, to a certain extent --- either ahead of
time or, at least, as the time occurs --- what God through them is indicating
will happen. To wit, watching the heavens and interpreting the
“signs” of our times correctly, you can, if given the knowledge
& graces, recognize when
certain things are bound to happen, or, leastwise, recognize that a certain
thing or event is happening right now,
just as God foretold, He knowing it from All of Eternity.
This is what the Magi did.
These “wise men” came from the East.

+++ 136. Wandering Stars? +++
A tiny little book in the Bible, a letter in the
first century AD to Catholics from one of Jesus’ Twelve Apostles warning
against schismatic or heretical leaders, tells us:
“But these men blaspheme whatever things they know not: and what things soever
they naturally know [whatever they can know simply by
carefully observing the visible world around them, or the Natural Law
upon their hearts], like dumb beasts [animals without an ability to rationally think or communicate to the
extent that human beings of sound mind can], in these they are corrupted [they understand wrongly, believing or acting sinfully].
Woe unto them, for they have gone in the way
of Cain [they copy the bad
example of Adam’s wicked & unbelieving firstborn son, who
purposely murdered his brother, Abel, for believing & obeying all that
God through His Pope & King of that earliest of times, St. Adam, commanded
them to do, refer to Genesis 4:1-8 for details]: and after the error of Balaam [the stubborn pagan priest who,
despite God having used him to prophesy correctly about the Old
Testament Church and their Messias (Messiah) to come, nevertheless died
trying to fight and destroy the Semitic Israelites, along with others of
the wicked Hamitic Chanaanite tribes, see Numbers 22-24 & Josue (Joshua) 13:22]
they have for reward poured out
themselves [i.e., they strive
doggedly for the wickedness that they do out of greed & covetousness
for the pleasurable things of this earth], and have perished in the contradiction [rebellious schism] of Core [a ‘levite’, or ‘deacon’,
during the Old Covenant, who dared to revolt against, and insult, Ss.
Moses & Aaron --- and thus God Himself since these two men were who
God plainly chose at this point in time to lead His Church --- Core and
his fellow rebels literally plunging, along with their families &
possessions, into hell as a punishment for their hideous religious
schism or else burning to death in God’s Fiery Wrath as some
of them audaciously, and disobediently, offered incense at the
Tabernacle as if God had bequeathed upon them a priestly right to do so…
review Numbers 16 for the sad particulars of refusing to profess & obey
God’s True Religion whole & entire]. These are spots in
their banquets, feasting together
without fear, feeding themselves [in
a narrow sense this refers to schismatics illegally offering the Holy Eucharist
to God at His Holy Mass, while in the broad sense it impugns any heretics who
both illegally & invalidly pretend to worship the One True God as He has
commanded in His Utterly Singular Religion of Roman Catholicism, outside of
which True Religion no one can ever truly please Him or wholly placate Him],
clouds without water [in other words, even if they practice the
Sacrament of Baptism correctly, this sacramental water does them no
good in the end if they persist in their schism or heresy as adults
with intelligent minds], which are carried about by winds [the latest trends, biases or powers of
humanity], trees of the autumn, unfruitful,
twice dead, plucked up by the roots [that
is to say, they can do no good works in Christ since they
don’t belong to Christ, having rejected His Catholic Dogmas or His
Catholic Leaders, and dead twice in the sense that, in this horrible
condition, they will die both physically & spiritually, in spite of
a valid water baptism], raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion [need I point out the brazenly apocalyptic imagery here, the
peoples of this earth, like the ubiquitous waters of the sea, covering
at least two thirds of our world with the confusion of false religion,
and today, during the Great Apostasy, with a Self-Deifying Neo-Paganism
in conjunction with a New World Order that is in complete defiance of God
& His Roman Catholicism?]; WANDERING
STARS, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved forever [in Greek, the term ‘planetes’ is where we get the English word
‘planet’, and means one who wanders --- since the planets,
despite looking like other stars in the sky to the naked eye, ‘wander’,
as it were, over the months in relation to the fixed-in-position stars that
stay stable in relation to one another for years and centuries --- the term
‘planetes’ in turn derived from
the Greek ‘planan’, which means
‘to lead astray’, which means these religious rebels against
God’s Church wind up in hell forever]. (Jude 1:10-13 DRC)
Whew! Quite a humdinger, isn’t it?
As I converted from my childhood Evangelic
Protestant heresy, this was one of many, many, many things in my
Protestant-translated bible that jumped out at me, clearly not upholding the Protestant religion I had been
taught. And which, when a person examines it intelligently & logically
& fully & from all sides, obviously
upholds Catholicism since, historically speaking, nobody was ‘protestant’ in the fullest sense of
that title prior to the
Rebellion of Martin Luther that historians like to officially date from 31
October 1517, when he is said to have nailed his ‘95 theses’ to the
doors of the Wittenberg Castle Church (called ‘All Saints’,
which is really significant when you consider that Herr Luther is claimed to
have done this on All Hallow’s Eve, to wit, the present ‘Halloween’,
signaling his growing disbelief the very night --- and, by extension, the day
--- before Catholics honor Our
Creator by honoring all those who are
His forever in Heaven.)
The reader can study historical evidence against Protestantism in the
book,
Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus (‘no
Salvation outside the Church’), as found in the Books & Articles
section to your left, or alphabetically listed in the Quiklinks
to your right. Peruse Chapters 15-33 especially, very carefully. You will see
how, in the words of Christians who lived in the first five centuries after Christ, there was no such thing as so-called
‘protestants’; real Christians were Roman Catholic and naught else, and all actual followers of
Jesus submit to the rightful rule of a legitimately-elected & publicly
orthodox Roman Bishop, a Pope,
who is God’s Authority on earth --- period.
What St. Jude describes in the passage quoted
above starkly warns against religious rebels like what Martin Luther and his
fellow Protestants became, and starkly cautions Catholics against following
men who look like ‘leaders’ because of an ‘official’
capacity in the Singular Catholic Body of Jesus Christ, but who, BECAUSE
OF NOTORIOUS & PERTINACIOUS SCHISM OR HERESY, reveal
themselves as the false
Catholics and false
Christians that they actually are, hence losing both their Roman Catholicity and their Hierarchal Authority via automatic excommunication, which, since ancient days, has always been set up in canon law
to operate automatically, even without any official declaration
from some higher authority in the Church. (Meaning, by the way,
concerning actual popes, that a real Catholic in no
way pretends to ‘depose’ such a man from his high office, as if
such a lower-ranking Catholic has the ‘power’ to do so.
Rather, real Catholics simply recognize as an indisputable fact --- due to a man, who happens to be pope,
by his words & deeds notoriously
& pertinaciously denying simple, plain & infallible dogmas that any person of sound mind can
know are infallibly true in order to be Catholic in the first place
--- that this Vicar of Christ, having
free will, has freely selected rebellion and thus fallen from Roman
Catholicity, becoming automatically
excommunicated through the undeviating teaching and supreme authority
of Christ’s Singular Body, the Roman Catholic Church Herself, via
Jesus’ Divine Authority, removing
such a rebel from his membership in, and hence also his leadership over,
Christ’s Catholic Body, thereby also removing
the danger of such Spiritual Cancer.) Readers who are more curious, or
skeptical, about this canonic principle, can study

St. Jude says a little more, though. He adds,
quite soberingly:
“Now of these [rebellious leaders in the Church] Enoch also, the seventh from
Adam [St. Enoch lived before the
Great Flood and was taken by God into Paradise without dying… oh,
and notice that divine number, “seventh”?], prophesied,
saying: ‘Behold [look], the
Lord cometh [comes, i.e., arrives]
with thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to
reprove all the ungodly for all the works of their ungodliness [that is, their sin & unbelief],
whereby they have done [acted] ungodly,
and of all the hard things [nasty
& false allegations] which ungodly sinners have spoken against God.’ These [types of folk] are murmurers [whiners], full of complaints,
walking according to their own
desires [doing & believing whatever
it is they want to think is ‘right’, regardless of the truth],
and their mouth speaketh [speaks] proud things, admiring
persons for gain’s sake [flattering
people merely to get what they want… and not because
it’s true]. But you, my dearly beloved, be mindful [carefully recall & carefully follow]
of the words [teachings] which
have been spoken before [already]
by the apostles [the very first
bishops] of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who told you, that in the last time [the
end of earth as we know it] there should come MOCKERS [arrogant rebels who
ridicule the One True Religion], walking according to their own
desires in ungodlinesses [they are
fearless, sinning as much as they want]. These are they, who SEPARATE THEMSELVES [abandon membership in God’s
Catholic Church via schism or heresy], sensual men [loving the fleshly comforts & pleasures
of this world way more than they love God & His Roman Catholic Religion],
having not the Spirit [the Third Person of the Trinity doesn’t
dwell in them, either because they’re not truly Catholic (being unbelievers & followers of
false religion) or are utterly bad
Catholics (being wicked & content in their mortal sin)]. But you, my
beloved, building yourselves upon
your most holy FAITH [keeping
Roman Catholicism whole & entire, know all of its dogmas
better & better, and learning how to obey the Lord’s
Commandments through Her better & better], praying in the Holy Ghost [pray in the state of grace, which is the
most efficacious], keep yourselves in the love of God [stay
truly Catholic whole & entire, which is how we love God as human
beings], waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto
life everlasting [trust God, as
merciful Catholics to those around you, that He, in turn, will show you
mercy, He permitting you, despite all of your many terrible sins, to
enter Heaven forgiven]. And some indeed reprove, being judged [rebuke
& admonish some of the wicked people or bad Catholics with whom you
interact]: but others save,
pulling them out of the fire [with
certain other people, whether Catholic or not, be infinitely patient,
till you, by the power of God, either convert them to Catholicism and real
hope of salvation, or else convince them to become good Catholics and
thereby secure their hope of salvation]. And on others have mercy, in fear, hating also the spotted garment
which is carnal [with yet other human beings, be extremely
merciful & forgiving, notwithstanding, be afraid lest the wickedness
they indulge winds up tempting you to sin in a similar way, you, instead, hating
& loathing this corrupt flesh of our earthly bodies that leads us
astray into iniquity so effortlessly, threatening to damn us eternally].
(Jude 1:14-23 DRC)
Now do you see, my
precious soul? Does understanding dawn like a spiritual sunrise? The stakes are
high; the odds tremendous; and failure is unthinkably horrifying.
Will we be saintly & stable Roman Catholic Stars in Heaven Forevermore:
Or will we wander like planetary demon gods in darkness eternally?
As God via our beloved St. Daniel assures good
Catholics:
“But they that are learned [know Catholicism whole & entire]
shall shine as the brightness of the firmament [the heavens above]: and they that instruct many to
justice [teach lots of people
to become Roman Catholic], AS
STARS FOR ALL ETERNITY.” (Daniel 12:3 DRC)

The center of the world’s stage is in the East of Middle Earth. Most of

centrality. Yet occasionally, the imperially central action sneaks

or spotlight focus that attention. Once in awhile, though, something important
happens --- on purpose --- ‘off stage’, or ‘to the
side’. The audience’s attention is moved to this new ‘center
of action’. Unless, of course, they’ve fallen
asleep. In which case, the audience dozes while the drama or comedy or
tragedy continues. All these contingencies have occurred in the last several
thousand of years.

global domination they so craved, fighting an enormous war in the European

precipitously, into the abyss.

+++ 138. Nothing Left to Conquer? +++
(Boo Hoo)
The Greeks were a numerous and far spread people
by the first millennium BC.
Per Sacred Scripture, they would seem to be descendants
of Cethim [Kittim].
(E.g., see 1 Machabees [Maccabees]
1:1, where the Bible clearly references a Greek leader as coming from the
“
The upshot?
Linguists uniformly agree that the languages of
Greek are a branch of Indo-European. Careful Catholic scholars can then note
that this essentially clinches the deal --- that is, that Greeks are
essentially descendants of Japheth, Noe’s
second of three sons. As ever, things get complicated over centuries upon
centuries, with migration & intermingling. Notwithstanding, it’s
logical to conclude most Greeks are mostly Japhetic.
As a result, the arrival of Greek supremacy and
imperial centrality continues the curious Japhetic role which Japheth’s
offspring assumed at the end of an Assyro-Chaldeo-Persian
Empire, (the Medo-Persians
being Japhetic, you’ll remember), an ascendancy that lasted,
centered around the Mesopotamian Valley, from roughly the middle of the 6th
century BC, until 330 BC, when a Macedonian (and
hence Greek) ruler, the fabulous (and
fabulously ‘lucky’) Alexander the Great, toppled and consumed
them into his own growing realm. To wit, the Greek Empire, which, for reasons
we’ll examine later, definitely flows together with the Romans into a ‘Greco-Roman
Empire’.
Yet who was Alexander the Great?
It’s amazing how much we can know about
him. Naturally, a lot of this is because he and his domain are not as ancient
as Babel & Atlantis, or etc. It’s also because we have a lot more
written sources regarding his life & conquests. And it’s because we
moderns don’t feel nervous hearing about his legacy since, in the end,
Rome consumed his vast realm, nothing catastrophic or destructive occurring to
them like Babel & Atlantis, the both of which remind us God can punish us
horribly for iniquity… including while fragile humans are still alive (*gasp!*) in the flesh, subject to
earthly afflictions.
In any case, young Alexander didn’t look
like he’d build an empire.
Initially he was just the son of a Macedonian
king, one of many, many, many kingdoms or ‘city states’ of the
Greeks from that long ago period, particularly in the wake of the fall or
decline of their so-called ‘Mycenaean’ civilization in the latter 2nd
millennium BC and a consequent ‘Greek Dark Ages’, wherein they are
said to have forgotten their previous ‘Linear B’ script (the written form of their language, or
languages, of that time, which was taken, per scholars, from the earlier
‘Linear A’ syllabic script that the Minoans employed on the island
of Crete). They re-emerged after the threat of a ‘Sea People’
receded (which causes one to wonder if
these mysterious seafaring people were --- oh, I don’t know --- perhaps
the Phoenicians at their ascendancy as the fourth head of the Oceanic
Beast…?), the Greeks’ later means of writing an adaption of a
phonetically-based Phoenician alphabet, disseminated everywhere these wealthy
traders would dare venture. Nonetheless, an ancient tale says, Alexander gave
his parents portentous dreams.
For instance, his mother, Olympias,
dreamt that a thunder bolt struck her womb, causing fire to spread into the
distance. Likewise, his father dreamed he sealed his wife’s womb with the
image of a lion (monarchs of old sealed
their official letters or documents with molten wax which, before it
solidified, they impressed with a graven ‘symbol’… such as a
signet ring or other device that vouched for the communication’s
authenticity, and hence it’s regal authority). Whatever the
significance --- and modern scholars axiomatically doubt them, of course ---
apart from these soporific reveries, you never would have thought he’d
become a legendary conqueror. Alexander’s father, Phillip, it is true,
undertook campaigns to subdue threats to his Macedonian kingdom, or expand his
borders somewhat modestly --- but truly massive conquest on a continental
scale?
No. This was unique to Alexander the Great.
He even feuded with his father, being only half
‘Macedonian’ since his mother, Olympias,
was Epirote (still Greek overall, but not
a Macedonian woman), and his father, Phillip, falling in love with yet another
wife who was Macedonian, then
produced an heir that most citizens assumed would be the next king of
Macedonia. But, as so-called ‘fate’ would have it, an assassin
murdered Alexander’s father, the assassin then dying as he fled, the
nobles of Macedonia declaring Alexander, on the spot, as their next king &
general of their army. And all at the tender age of 20 years old. What next for
the unlooked for ruler of much of Europe, Africa & Asia, north
Why… get rid of enemies and any potential
rivals, naturally.
Having done this, and secured the extent of the
kingdom he inherited (many of the
Macedonian vassals used King Phillip’s death as an excuse to revolt),
Alexander then turned to the slowly yet surely declining Assyro-Chaldean-Persian
Empire --- which, it having tussled many a time with several Greek city states
on its northwest border over the centuries (and
having, it seems, appointed rather autocratic leaders over uppity Greeks),
was much detested by these resentful Greeks --- and proceeded, a mere five
years after ascension to the Macedonian throne, in 336 BC, to decimate the
Persians. Not with disdain, though. According to historians, both ancient &
modern, Alexander greatly admired the efficiency & probity of the mighty
Persians and their realm. He even planned, before untimely death, to make
Ah, but there is so much to do when you’re
a conqueror on a roll!
After subduing Syria and the Levant, including
Egypt --- which, they say, viewed him as a liberator --- he took Mesopotamia
and Persia properly so called (claiming
that the last emperor of the Persians, Darius the Third, had proclaimed
Alexander his successor), then continued into India, taking over part of
the north of this ‘subcontinent’. Finally, having subdued the
Our dear Alexander, with some more adventures (and quite a few men lost on a very
difficult desert route he decided to travel on his way back to Persia to
retrieve the vast treasure he’d won from them, not to mention pay
respects at the tomb of Cyrus the Great, a man he very much admired… oh,
and one more mutiny of his army, which wound up misinterpreting his orders and
were miffed at Alexander’s penchant for adopting the customs & dress
of once powerful Persians), wound up back in Babylon, preparing for more
invasions, first of Arabia and afterward Europe. Unfortunately, he got sick.
This malady worsened, and, by 10 or 11 June of 323 BC, he departed from earthly
life.
A mere 32
years old. Never defeated in war; cut low by disease.
There’s a story --- most likely apocryphal
--- that, prior to dying, Alexander was heartbroken, weeping and exclaiming,
“There are no more worlds to conquer!” If in any way accurate, it
may have come from the Greek biographer, Plutarch, who states in a moral essay,
On the Tranquility of the Mind, how
young Alexander wept hearing Anaxarchus, a learned
philosopher, opine that there exists an ‘infinity of worlds’.
“What’s wrong with you?” asked
Alexander’s puzzled friends. Per Plutarch, our world-class-leader-to-be
responded, “Is it not worthy
of tears that, when the number of worlds is infinite, we have not yet
become lords of a single one?”
Again, contemporary scholars don’t want to
think ancients knew the earth. It’s not in their self-interest to believe
that Mediterranean peoples of old might have known the true scope and true
extent of our terrestrial globe. And maybe Alexander didn’t know; maybe
he didn’t even say what Plutarch claims he said. Then again, maybe he
did. And maybe it’s we moderns who are narrow-minded & ignorant. Not
without culpability, though. We, too, have been on a nonstop wave of conquering
& subjugation. Our foes have cowered before us, worshipping our
unparalleled strength, wealth & knowledge.
After all, we’re “Gods”, you know, ready to storm the heavens. (Genesis 3:5c DRC)
What mighty deeds await us, what untold fate, occupying an
‘infinite’ frontier!
Yet will we, before death, weep like Alexander?
His Greek name meant ‘defending men’.
Who will defend
us, whether from outside threats
or from our own selves? When the great can die young, what hope have we,
the tiny & little? This world seems so valuable, so precious… but what does it all mean when our
most prized dreams come crashing down upon us, at our last breath, the earth
slipping from our feeble grasp?

a very good one). Ergo, anyone who is not truly Catholic, yet not
willing to bluster emptily about how personal ‘oblivion’ at death
doesn’t bother him or her in the least, must, of a
necessity… acknowledging he or she continues to exist beyond
earthly death… pretend that what he or she wants to do here
& now on earth is either imperative,
or else inconsequential, to a neverending life to come.
Mind you, ‘earthly value’ can
be more than ‘material things’.
Yes, most human beings most of the time revolve
their lives around physicality. Our physical bodies… and their carnal
appetites… are what most of us feed. Nevertheless, humanity amounts to more than just physicality. Wherefore, you can
run into people who, composed of flesh like all of us, place great importance
on things of the mind or soul. We can lust for knowledge, or covet ‘experiences’ of a
purportedly ‘spiritual’
nature. It doesn’t really matter. It still comes down to what we want in this mortal life.
Yet does our desire comport with what we’re
made to do?
Then our desire is ‘heavenly’.
Or does our desire conflict, in some way, with
our purpose for existing?
Then our desire is ‘earthly’.
It’s that simple. So, my dear reader…
what do you want?
If it’s only earthly,
then you run the risk of ‘coveting’ in the sinful sense. But
if it’s heavenly, then your ‘coveting’ is pure & holy.
What, then, shall we covet?
Our Maker gave us intelligent minds and voluntary wills. What are we to do with them? What must
we know (intelligent mind) and what
must we choose (voluntary will)?
What’s the significance of our existence? Why the form we have, why the
world we live in?
What does it all mean?
Do you recall us pointing out that the number
‘seven’, more than any other number, symbolizes God? It’s the
‘supernatural’ or ‘divine’ number. Do you also recall
us saying that the number ‘six’, more than any other number,
symbolizes Man? It’s the ‘natural’ or ‘human’
number. Six is one less than seven, signifying that we’re made in
His Image. Accordingly, that we’re a little less than Him; reflection rather than essence.
God, though, is a Unique Being. He not only
exists uncreated from all of eternity, He exists, too, as Three Persons in
One Being. To wit, the Trinity. This puzzles & mystifies human beings.
Not loving God as we ought to love Him, we may find it
‘unbelievable’, perchance ‘ridiculous’. After all,
don’t we --- in our temporal & mortal existence --- normally
experience things as one person in one body? To
be sure. Unless ‘possessed’… or, as psychologists
suppose, ‘schizophrenic’… or, as hardcore Darwinists imagine,
two or more ‘selves’ under the guise of a single
‘self’… then, yes, it’s a rule of thumb:
We must have exactly one
person per every one body.
Any more than that and it gets crowded,
spiritually speaking. ‘Spiritually’ since volume & place are
different for souls. Ah, but God doesn’t essentially have a ‘body’, does He?
In Eternal Essence
because He is an Eternal Spirit.
He is the Uncreated
Creator. Material physicality is a created
thing. Hence, when Almighty God became a Man (Jesus Christ), He clothed
His Self-Eternal Spirit, as it were, with both a visible body and invisible
soul. This Supernatural Incarnation is what Catholics call the Hypostatic Union. God’s
Divine Nature joined with a Human Nature. His Divinity took on Humanity.
Creator & Creation fused into the God-Man.
Lucifer wants us to view this fusion upside
down. The fallen angel (who is a liar) wants us thinking we pantheistically ‘evolve’ from humanity into
divinity. That is to say, everything
is ‘god’ --- ‘realize it’, thereby achieving ‘god consciousness’.
This is the Lie of the Serpent in the Garden.
The heretical French Jesuit, Teilhard
de Chardin, dared teach it in the mid-20th
century. The apostate Jesuit, Antipope Francis, now dares to
‘rehabilitate’ Chardin and his heresy,
which ‘spiritualizes’ the fantasy of Darwinistic evolution, telling
us the point of material ‘evolution’ is not just chance, but an
‘Omega Point’, wherein we become the ‘pinnacle’
of evolution, consciously controlling it and our destiny, thereby becoming ‘gods’ and merging with everything,
‘enlightened’
beings attaining to ‘christ consciousness’.
When I awoke one morning in February of 2016 with
the full outline of this book, Helplessly
Ignorant, suddenly in my mind, I did not yet know of a prominent scholar
living near Jerusalem, Israel (and who is a professor at the Hebrew University
in this same City of David), who had just published a major work not then
translated or made available for English-speaking audiences. The scholar is
Yuval Noah Harari, who already had made a big
intellectual splash with his previous publication in 2011, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.
This tome enchanted Darwinists, describing human history --- the
‘sapiens’ or ‘wise ones’ of the title, the name
scientists bestow upon the human ‘species’ (viz., ‘homo
sapiens’, which is Latin nomenclature for ‘wise man’) --- in
terms of waxing human intelligence (a mental ability enabling us to
‘imagine’ into existence what would not otherwise ever influence
anything, whether a thing ‘imagined’ at first is real or not),
together with increasing human cooperation, resulting in domination of the
entire world. In 2015 he published its sequel, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow.
This was released in the
‘Homo’ is Latin for ‘man’
or ‘human’. ‘Deus’ means ‘god’.
That’s right.
Yuval Noah Harari touts
a ‘Man-God’. He touts an existence wherein
‘Humanism’ is the dominant religion & paradigm, wherein
Humanity worships itself, wherein we as human beings do whatever we wish,
whatever we may deem the ‘right’ thing to do, wherein, mere
creatures although we are, we reach out and grasp immortality.
To be fair to Mr. Harari,
who is an intelligent scholar, he does say that he’s not trying to
‘cheerlead’ for the idea. He calls it a ‘prophecy’ ---
in the sense of human prediction that --- barring changes in our present
conditions or changes in human intent --- he expects us, collectively, to
strive to ‘evolve’ into ‘homo deus’.
He carefully says he does not predict we’ll be successful, or that
everything happens by AD 2100, etc. He’s only trying to get us to think
carefully about where we’re headed before we arrive, so as to better
manage our destiny. But he also does not
at all chastise humanity for this implicit goal, as if
‘evil’. Indeed, he seems positively eager for the prospect, if only as an intellectual.
In any case, notice the two words,
‘God’ & ‘Man’, in Harari’s
title are inverted.
In Catholicism, it is ‘God-Man’ --- God always coming first.
In Modernism, it is ‘Man-God’ --- Humanity first, with God second.
This is no fluke. Whether fully conscious or not,
human beings want to rule.
Our Creator & His Roman
Catholic Church stand in the way of this goal.
Catholicism says, “God rules. We rule with God if we obey
Him.”
This annoys covetous human beings… indeed,
it infuriates them. Modern humanity has no intention of giving up their
‘power’. We rule the roost. We are Gods and we want to rule
creation… or, er… the entire infinite multiverse quantum bubble froth, if you will.
Now take the next step. Recognize the following
truth --- that each Person of the True God being Wholly God (there are Three Persons in One
God, you’ll recollect), we therefore can say, numerically speaking,
that God is a triple seven.
That is:
777.
Humanity wants Godhood, but on its own terms
(Lucifer the One leading us All
in this overweening and impossibly gargantuan endeavor, you’ll remember).
We can say, numerically speaking, then, that ‘Homo Deus’ strives to
be a triple six. I.e.:
666.
The Number of a

“And he [the
beast which comes up out of the earth, who, being like a human being,
works on behalf of the beast that comes up out of the ocean, see
Apocalypse (Revelation) 13:1] shall make all [everyone on earth], both little and great, rich and poor, freemen
and bondmen [employees, servants or
slaves], to have a character [a
symbol or sign] on their right hand, or on their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, but [unless] he that hath [has]
the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name. Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding,
let him count the number of the beast
[let him comprehend what this mysterious
& hidden number or name signifies]. For it is the NUMBER OF A MAN: and the number of him is SIX HUNDRED SIXTY SIX.”
(Apocalypse [Revelation] 13:16-18 DRC)
This passage of Sacred Scripture has puzzled
people for centuries.
Even today, in the midst of the Great Apostasy
--- when almost no one on earth is left
who is truly Roman Catholic and traditional religion is being suppressed left
and right everywhere, but especially in our part of the world --- people
still remember this curious number, associating it with the Apocalypse and
something evil. Where does this obsession
of ours come from? Why does it stay with us… even today?
It’s not like most people know or
understand the Bible.
I grew up as a conservative Evangelic Protestant
(EP). These kinds of EPs love to astound you with their quotations of Sacred
Scripture and act like everything they believe is found in the Bible,
‘proven’ by Scripture. I can tell you for a fact, having been raised by them, that this is
a load of crock. The vast majority of EPs never read their
bibles. Their ‘proof texts’ are a sham, proving nothing specific about their religion. A huge
majority of EPs merely hear certain verses repeated again and again, being told
these passages ‘prove’ their EP beliefs to be
‘true’… and that’s it. They know nothing more than that,
and what they think they ‘know’ is a mirage or façade, a massive misinterpretation of what
Sacred Scripture actually says & means.
(Again, ancient Christians were Roman Catholic. Go
here to see it is so.)
So if most people today, particularly in our part
of the world, know nothing about the Bible, maybe even scorning it as the
‘naïve superstitions’ of ancient tribal humans… then
whence comes this bizarre obsession with the number,
666? Why do so many people in our part of the earth still remember it
and associate it with something terrible and very wicked, when they never
read the Bible, don’t comprehend Sacred Scripture, and adamantly refuse
to take anything else in it seriously?
What’s going on here?
Once more --- the Law of Natural Reason, written
upon our hearts.
Our very dreams remind us, every time we lay our
head upon the pillow and our intelligence drifts into slumber… our
guardian angel is there, whispering into our ears, and a demon, too, assigned
to waylay us, curdling our souls… and, yet, for all his lies, truth still
seeps through, our guardian using both veracity unstained and the liar’s
falsehoods (always mixed with some truth) to sound the alarm in our
skulls… the conviction that we’re here on earth, in flesh, for a
reason… an imperative purpose having nothing to do with only increasing
creaturely wealth and comfort, or for mere earthly knowledge and technological
advancement, or for fame, prestige and power.
Now, I don’t pretend to know everything
there is to know about 666.
But I will point out a few things it’s time
to realize.
The most typical approach to this curious number,
if someone claims to have the “wisdom” to interpret it, is to say it’s isopsephic. That is to
say, it is a name where each letter has a numeric value, which, when added up,
sums to 666 and is thus the “number of the beast.” (Apocalypse
[Revelation] 13:18a, c DRC) The most common interpretation of this nature put
forth by biblical commentators --- and whether Catholic or not --- is the
wicked Roman emperor, Nero Caesar. He was apparently ingenious yet dangerously
unbalanced, called himself the sun god (Apollo), and, assert
many, in burning central
Could this be true?
Yes and no.
Yes, it’s possible God is telling us that some particular human being
will be the ‘Antichrist’ par excellence, and this person’s
name or title has letters of numeric value which, when added up, sum to 666. I
can’t discount this possibility; it could be true.
Yet, no, it’s not necessarily correct, or --- even if correct --- the sole interpretation permitted.
Remember… Sacred Scripture can have two or more layers of meaning.
It’s conceivable that the above interpretation is true while, at the same
time, the Creator also intends to tell us one or two or three or more other
things about antichrist as well. There is no
vast unanimity amongst the early Church fathers concerning this
subject, nor has
Meanwhile, it’s amazing how people overlook
a simple fact:
It’s a number.
Ergo, would it not be wise to consider the
likelihood that it has something to do with mathematics, geometry and the
meaning of numbers overall? Of all considerations having to do with God ---
apart from what the One True Religion infallibly teaches us and the Law of
Natural Reason instructs us --- would it not make sense, in comprehending
Scripture when it gets numerical, to think in terms of mathematics, too?
So what’s significant, mathematically or
geometrically, about 666?
It’s a triangular number.
And what’s a triangular number?
An equilateral triangle (the most perfect triangle of all, as any thinker can attest) is a
triangle with all three sides and angles equal. And if you take certain
objects (say, for instance, round dots)
and arrange them, evenly spaced, into the shape of an equilateral triangle, you
can make larger and larger equilateral triangles out of more and more
of these round dots. Nonetheless, only certain numbers of dots will work.
And what are these numbers? A sequence emerges:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, 66, 78, 91,
105, 120, 136, 153, 171, 190, 210, 231, 253, 276, 300, 325, 351, 378, 406, 435,
465, 496, 528, 561, 595, 630, 666,
and etc., the 36th in the
iteration, without end. (Fair warning: mathematicians
today love to put ‘zero’ at the beginning of this sequence. Yet
think about it --- how can ‘zero’ dots, which is a whole absence of anything, therefore nothing --- make any shape at all, let
alone the precise shape of a triangle?) Notice
the 666? Naturally (pun intended). And what figure geometrically
represents a supernatural Triune
God more than any other?
You could proffer the circle (eternality) or the
square (perfection).
But a triangle is absolutely exquisite.
Especially the equilateral
one.
Three Persons in One God.
Each Person equally Divine, yet distinctly
Personal. Like an equilateral triangle, so perfectly balanced with three
distinct sides & angles, whilst being a single geometric entity, perfectly
emblematic of the Eternally Self-Existent Triune Deity.
My dear soul, we’ll get into the divine
symbolism of seven.
Yet knowing six symbolizes humanity, do
you see?
666, a ‘Human Trinity’.
We’re made to look like Him and be
with Him. When we refuse to do as we ought (read:
be good Catholics), we still cannot escape our divine image. We still strive to be like Gods.
We’re one less than seven, yet determined to be Him… but without
Him.
Curious, too --- isn’t it? --- that
so-called ‘scientists’ have discovered, in the past two centuries,
that human beings, physically speaking, could
not exist without the fabulous atom we now call ‘carbon’. This fantastic element, of which humans are composed & literally
is the backbone of our cells --- all the way down to our carbon-based
genetic code, DNA --- is fascinating for another reason, too, something we
moderns never knew till, by the end of the 1800s, chemists devised the Periodic
Table. Then, in the 1900s, we found out what
makes the Periodic Table periodic, and thus why an
element’s atom is that particular element and not something
else. To wit, the number of
protons it has.
This is called the ‘atomic number’ of
an element.
And what’s the atomic number of carbon?
Why… six.
Indeed, with subatomic physics, we now understand
that the most common form or ‘isotope’ of carbon on earth is Carbon
12. This carbon atom has six protons (positively charged) and six
neutrons (neutral, with no electric
charge, but adding weight to atoms… thus the name of this carbon, 6
protons plus 6 neutrons equaling 12). Furthermore, to balance
out the six positive charges in the nucleus, six negatively
charged electrons ‘orbit’ the nucleus (so to speak) and make the elemental carbon atom whole.
Hm. What do you know? 6
protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.
Six hundred sixty-six (666)… as it were.
+++ 141. A Matter of Division?
+++
The symbolism gets even more fundamental.
With the advent of quantum mechanics in the past
century, scientists now know that carbon --- so extremely combinable with all
kinds of other atoms and so essential & unique to human flesh (indeed, to pretty much all life on earth!)
--- in forming what we call ‘covalent’
bonds (say, e.g., with hydrogen),
will easily share four of its six electrons, the resulting
‘electron cloud’ (contemporary
physicists call it ‘sp3 hybridization’), being foundational in organic
chemistry, carbon taking on a peculiarly tetrahedral shape.
And what is a tetrahedron?
A four-sided solid, each
side consisting of an equilateral triangle. Sort of like an Egyptian pyramid, except that a
tetrahedron has four sides instead of five,
and the ‘bottom’ side is a triangle, not a square. In
geometry, it is the simplest of the so-called ‘Platonic solids’.
So, the triangle,
so basic to our existence and so perfect in symbolizing a Triune Deity, is all through us and all around us, everywhere in the portion
of the visible & physical world we live in, just as this Trinitarian
God purposed in creating the earth.
But the symbolism also gets more transcendent.
For if you read the Apocalypse thoroughly &
carefully, you’ll note how God, via His Beloved Disciple,
“And the first angel sounded the trumpet
[blew the trumpet], and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and
it was cast on the earth, and the third
part of the earth was burnt up, and the third
part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.”
(Apocalypse [Revelation] 8:7 DRC)
Or:
“And the fourth angel sounded the
trumpet, and the third of the
sun was smitten [blighted or darkened], and the third part of the moon [ditto previous annotation], and the third part of the stars, so that
the third part of them was
darkened, and the day did not shine for a third
part of it, and the night in like manner [in the same way as the day].”
(Apocalypse [Revelation] 8:12 DRC)
As well:
“And by these plagues was slain [killed]
the third part of men [a third of the human population
dies because of these catastrophes that are divine punishment for our sins], by
the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone [burning sulfur], which issued
[came] out of their mouths.” (Apocalypse [Revelation] 9:18 DRC)
A few chapters later in the Apocalypse, though,
we are told an interesting thing. Because the devil and his demons were
formerly angels in heaven, right? Nevertheless, they became wicked ---
rebellious --- and so lose their place in the heavens.
“And there was seen another sign in heaven:
and behold [look] a great red
dragon, having seven heads and ten horns: and on his head seven
diadems [crowns]: and his tail
drew the THIRD PART OF THE STARS IN HEAVEN, and cast them to the
earth… And there was a great battle in heaven, Michael and his
angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels [both leaders fought each other with angelic
armies]: and they prevailed not [the
devil and his demons could not win], neither was their place found any
more in heaven [they could no longer
live in the heavens above, losing their celestial home]. And that great
dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the devil and Satan [the former,
‘devil’, signifies ‘accuser’ or
‘slanderer’, the latter, ‘satan’,
means ‘enemy’ or ‘adversary’], who seduceth [seduces,
i.e., lures into sins] the whole world; and he was cast unto the
earth, and his angels [angels who
became demons, following him] were thrown down with him.” (Apocalypse
[Revelation] 12:3-4b, 7-9 DRC)
You’ll note how the “great red
dragon” has “seven heads and ten horns” just as the Oceanic
Monster we first read about in this tome, Helplessly
Ignorant, in Chapter 79, quoting from Apocalypse 12:17-13:10, when we began
talking about, and explaining, the significance of this parable of the Oceanic
Beast in our modern era of the Great Apostasy, simultaneously further
explaining the massive role that the Law of Natural Reason plays in our human
lives. I.e., the very same symbolism goes for the Oceanic Beast, as does its
animating luciferian spirit, the Great Red Dragon with its Seven Heads &
Ten Horns. A Sea Monster first spoken of by John the
Evangelist a mere half chapter later, in Sacred Scripture, we finding an
identical symbolism of Seven Heads & Ten Horns for both.
This is not chance.
John the Evangelist is smart, the Holy Ghost
omnisciently smart. Consequently, the parallelism of the Dragon’s Seven
Heads & Ten Horns with the Sea Monster’s Seven Heads & Ten Horns
is plainly meant on purpose here
in the Bible, showing, too, everyone who reads these passages that the two
seemingly ‘different’ things --- gargantuan Dragon and hideous
Beast --- are but one and the same
thing.
The Great Red Dragon merely ‘animates’ Lucifer’s Unholy Beast.
Just as the Holy Ghost ‘animates’ Christ’s Holy Body.
I therefore can say quite confidently:
The parallel is perfect.
And on purpose.
Yet the thirds?
Consider, my precious soul, what the fraction of
a third amounts to in decimal
terms. That is to say, using the Base 10 Number System… counting
by tens instead of twos (binary), threes (trinary), fours (quaternary), fives
(quinary), eights
(octal), twelves
(duodecimal), sixteens
(hexadecimal), twenties
(vigesimal), sixties
(sexagesimal), or countless other systems (pun
intended) human beings have practiced, or that we could come up with to use, so
as to count and do calculations… decimal is, arguably, the most
popular way of counting & calculating all through human history (though, granted, there have been many other
ways, also, as made clear in the list above…). For a simple reason, too
--- because almost every human being in the world has had ten fingers.
At any rate, it’s pretty much inarguable that decimal --- counting by tens, the Base 10 System ---
dominates the earth today. This is because clever Arabic numerical
symbols, in conjunction with European power & supremacy, have spread
everywhere via our education, science, industry, banking… even films,
music, social media, etc., etc.
The point? Well, what is one third in decimal? Divide 1 by 3. The
answer?
Correct… 0.333333333333333333333333333333333,
ad infinitum.
In mathematics in the
Because certain fractions or
ratios simply cannot divide evenly into orders of ten.
3 into 10, 30 into 100, or 300 into 1000 are a
few examples of this.
The import? Well, aside from the fact that 33 is an imperative
number to higher ranking Freemasons (e.g.,
witness their openly-acknowledged ‘degrees’ or ranks that a member
may attain to, peaking at this curious digit with the ‘33rd
degree’) and knowledgeable people practicing Kabbalism
(for instance, the mystical ‘Tree
of Sephiroth’, which, in adding its elements,
32, to the whole of it’s own self, 1, brings us to the grand total of 33), and
etc. --- the repeating decimal of one
third, with its endless & inexhaustible parade of threes, so
perfectly evoked by the fascinating repdigit (a
portmanteau for repeating digit) of the number 33 --- it is,
too, the mirror complement (complement,
not compliment!) to its repeating decimal ally,
0.666666666666666666666666666666666, ad infinitum.
For what do 0.333333,
ad infinitum, and 0.666666,
ad infinitum, add up to?
Right, my beloved reader. It is elementary… they add up to ONE.
Getting poignant? It ought to be, if you’re
paying attention.
In telling us the Devil took one
third of the Angels in Heaven with him into rebellion, St. John’s
Apocalypse is thus telling us that two
thirds of the Angels in Heaven remained loyal & steadfast to the One Trinity of Catholicism. In
other words, how exactly 0.6666666,
ad infinitum, of His angels stayed true to Him, the Three-in-One.
666… except, this
time, on the other side of the apocalyptic equation.
There’s so much more to fathom… just
persevere, my dear soul.
In the meantime, do you see how it is a matter of division?
Taking One & Three --- which, apart from Seven,
are the numbers extraordinaire associated with, more than any other, an Everlasting
Godhead --- we arrive at THIRDS.
‘One third’ (⅓) is linked to THREES
(333…), while ‘two thirds’ (⅔) is linked to SIXES (666…). The
Number of Angelic Humanity, and the Number of Bestial
Carnality.
Our corrupt flesh at war with fickle souls, we
are divided without God.
+++ 142. Celestial Seven?
+++
(The Trinitarian Family of God in Heaven)
Yet Who is God?
Now it’s time to delve into the symbolism
of Seven.
Why is this number… 7… more than any
other associated with Our Creator? What’s the importance, what’s
the meaning? Is it something that goes back to God Himself, or is it
‘projected onto Him’, as it were, by we His little creatures, mere
human beings? I can assure you, beloved soul, that we are not ‘projecting’ this onto Him. The Divinity of
Seven, so to speak, comes from
the Triune God of the Roman Catholic Church.
In some ways, mathematics and geometry are as
close as you can come, as a mere creature, to ‘understanding’ and
‘fathoming’ God. I say ‘in some ways’, because, as
great saints will tell you, the only real way to understand & fathom God ---
as much as human beings can --- is through the Beatific Vision. Which, barring
this option (that we’ll not have
until Heaven, provided we die as good Catholics), the next best thing is an
ecstatic vision. Nevertheless, an ecstatic, contemplative vision is still never
able to be equal to the Beatific Vision, and, if that were not enough, when you
study mystical theology carefully (meaning
rigorous, systematized and truly Roman Catholic theological teaching
about real Catholic mysticism… not the silly New Age stuff
that passes for ‘mysticism’ nowadays), you find numerous
‘grades’ or ‘levels’ of ecstatic vision.
To wit, not all visions are the same. Some are
better than others.
Notwithstanding, barring both Beatific Vision and
ecstatic, contemplative visions of whatever level --- or complete &
thorough theological investigation of them, apart from experiencing them your
own self as a true Catholic --- then mathematics and geometry are remarkably
insightful, given that we have the eyes to see and the ears to hear. As always,
God speaks in parables. Ergo, mathematics & geometry are His
parables in earthly form (without the more pure spirituality of
contemplation), although, to be fully honest, meditation upon mathematics &
geometry as a real Catholic can almost, it seems, approach to the level of
spiritual contemplation & ecstatic vision. The key is, do we have the eyes to see and the ears to hear?
Has
God given us the graces to understand? And, in understanding, will we then rightly appreciate what
we’ve been given? Or, ‘bored’ and distracted by earthly
things, will we like swine trample on
heavenly pearls?
I trust the reader is not inclined toward
wallowing in the mud.
Spiritually speaking, of
course.
If not, then listen up:
From All of Eternity, timeless and unbound
by any creational ‘dimension’, Our
Self-Existent Creator foresaw & foreknew everything that He would
make out of nothing in forming our cosmos, and everything that past, present
& future hold, including all of the deeds of those creatures
that He endows with some degree of rationality of mind and freedom of will.
The Maker knew what we would think, say & do apart from anyone existing;
that’s the intrinsic nature of omniscience (all-knowingness) and, however
‘impossible’ or ‘strange’ we may want to think it, it’s
part of being God. Having then given many creatures an adequate fullness of
rational mind & free will (such as celestial angels, human beings or etc.)
--- and placing signs (symbols,
miracles, prophecy, special revelation and so forth) throughout creation, especially
in the heavens (what we’d call ‘outer space’) for our
knowledge and as an indisputable proof of His Triune Divinity,
Omniscience & Omnipotence, not to mention His charity for all of us,
particularly humanity, which bears His Image --- He also makes us capable
of, and receiving opportunity to peer into and begin to comprehend, at the
right time, His Will. Numerically speaking, SEVEN is one of His Signs & Symbols.
What does it say?
First of all, it’s a prime number. It’s the fourth prime in sequence from 1 (mathematicians,
incidentally, always exclude the number one from ‘primality’
as, allowing 1 to be considered a ‘prime’, it then causes many
mathematical difficulties). Prime numbers are very unique (as is God), divisible only by 1 and the prime number itself. It
therefore, like a circle
(which has one side or no sides, depending on how you
look at it), symbolizes unbrokenness
& eternality. That seven is the fourth
in the sequence of primes, like a
square (which has four
sides), symbolizes order &
perfection. All the same, like a
triangle (which has three
sides), Seven symbolizes Trinity & Unity. You
probably say, but how is seven
like a triangle when three and seven are distinct?
Because the Uncreated Creator can exist
just fine, all by Himself, without
anyone or anything else… He doesn’t need more to be happy & complete. He is Self-Sufficient,
Self-Existent & Self-Eternal. He is THREE-PERSONS-IN-ONE-GOD, never
lonely; He is His OWN TRINITARIAN FAMILY. He alone exists
unmade. All else that exists only exists since He freely chooses of
His Own Will, no need compelling Him,
to make & love it. In doing so, by the way, the Maker
makes everything out of nothing
(‘ex nihilo’).
‘Ex nihilo’ (‘out of
nothing’ in Latin) is critical since it puts creatures in our place.
We’re not a
‘part’ of God’s ‘substance’; we’re made by God ‘out of
nothing’. This is essential to distinguish pantheist from
theist. As the special creatures we are, called human beings… we’re not actually Him; we’re made to look like Him. It’s this very special resemblance, in our created form, that is crucial.
It’s why He made us,
and why 7 is
so precious & peculiar. In examining everyday natural life, we find how God
has used sevens --- or ‘octaves’, if you
will. Meaning you start at a foundational frequency, and, in doubling
that frequency, pass through seven
more ‘notes’ prior to arriving at the same ‘note’ but double
in frequency. God did it this way. For instance,
electromagnetism, which is only frequencies of perpendicular electric &
magnetic waves propagating through ‘space’, the wavelengths ranging
from micro-minute to macro-gigantic. The visible spectrum, whilst tricky
to get scientists to agree overall where visibility begins and ends,
nonetheless, it’s fair to say that human beings, as a collective group,
can perceive from the wavelength of about 380nm to roughly 760nm. (The uninitiated must realize
‘nm’ means ‘nanometer’, i.e., literally, one billionth
of a meter or not quite 400 hundred millionths of an inch.) 760 is clearly
the double of 380 --- 380
times 2 equals 760, an octave in terms
of waves. This octave nature of electromagnetism in general, and the
visible spectrum in specific, goes on further, some of us noting (the famous Isaac Newton, for example)
how there’s an ‘octave of
octaves’ in visible light that we see as
‘colors’… seven 7s,
as it were.
This natural phenomenon of
sevens or ‘octaves’ is elsewhere, too.
The aforementioned, or implied, octaves of ‘notes’,
which is found in music and described in ‘music theory’, is
directly observable --- via our ears and minds --- in the diatonic (or ‘seven note’)
scale of ancient origin, and in the chromatic (or ‘twelve note’)
scale of more recent (at least, to our knowledge…) centuries, which,
whilst expanding one’s musical palette to the more ‘colorful’
(hence ‘chromatic’…) selection of twelve notes, nevertheless
still incorporates --- and is built around --- the venerable diatonic, seven note scale that God (again,
literally!) has built into our very world… and into human ears &
minds in our ability to see it, enjoying arrangements of seven notes.
Or how about the atom?
Scientists learned by the turn of the 20th
century, in constructing the Periodic Table of the Elements, how it appears to
be arranged in ‘octaves’,
certain properties recurring and thus repeating ‘periodically’ as
one ascends up the chemical scale of (at
first, in the minds of 19th century scientists) weight, then,
later (in the minds of better informed 20th
century scientists), ascending up the subatomic scale of protons, which is, as we’ve
observed, what our physicists or chemists of contemporary times call the ‘atomic number’ of
elemental atoms, determining their properties and making them what they are.
The electrons around the
nuclei (composed of protons &
neutrons) in these atoms are amazingly ‘octave’ in nature… hence the ‘octave’ nature of the Periodic Table.
Furthermore, chemists routinely refer to ‘octets’
in outer electron shell behavior, elemental atoms, as it were, made to
‘need’ to achieve an ‘octave’ of electrons in this
outer cloud of electrons; an octave, again, being the ‘completion’, so to speak, of an atom in this
world of ours, everything trying to ‘count
up to seven’, as it were, and, reaching the seventh, ‘complete’ it by going one more step to
the resonant & octave ‘note’
that represents a whole octave.
For instance, all of the elements at the far right of chemists’ Periodic
Table --- the so-called Noble Gases --- are ‘noble’ because they won’t combine with anything
else (leastwise, not under normal circumstances… though the
latest clever scientists can increase atmospheric pressure & heat to
ludicrous levels, thereby ‘forcing’ these uniquely noble atoms to
merge briefly under unnatural conditions). The ‘noble’ atoms are ‘complete’, like God in a sense, with an ‘octave’ of outer
electrons.
They neither ‘need’ nor
‘crave’ anything more. Thus their
‘nobility’.
We find seven
in the week as well. A seven day week
correlates with nothing, astronomically speaking, unlike months & years.
Granted, ethnicities have used other divisions of time when it comes to
counting the days… yet where did the seven day week come from in the
first place? It inarguably now dominates throughout the world, due to European
power, influence & supremacy again. But where did
The honest & careful Roman Catholic scholar
can only conclude a single thing:
It had to have come from St. Noe
with his survival of the Great Flood, and, in all likelihood, it must have, in
turn, come all the way back from the time of Ss. Adam & Eve. After all,
does not St. Moses, inspired by the Holy Ghost, describe God making heaven
& earth --- and all that we may find in them --- in the period of seven days? (Genesis 1:1-2:5) Absolutely. Hence, God Himself wove a seven day week into
our human existence, governing our lives accordingly in the beginning and, ironically,
shaping our daily existence even till today, in the midst of the Great
Apostasy.
And seven exists elsewhere as well, amidst the
unseen & supernatural.
For example, Hindus and other people of eastern
philosophy will often insist that a human being has seven ‘chakras’, whirls of soulish power
ascending from the base of our spines to the crowns of our heads, the central
& ‘heart’ chakra being the very middle, or fourth, of the
series. Now, I don’t expect anyone --- least of all a real & good Catholic
--- to have to believe in this teaching. Nevertheless, I do point out a simple
fact. Viz., it doesn’t matter,
in the end, whether you want to
believe in something or not. It’s either true or it’s
false. And false religion (because
that’s what Hinduism is, as Catholicism infallibly tells us) is false
not because everything in it is false, but because it mixes
veracity with falsehood, some of these falsehoods, at least, being damnable.
The outcome? I personally believe the chakra teaching
is correct. It’s just like God to make us so, with seven imperative points along our animating soul within the
human body, all the more driving home, symbolically,
that we are made both to look like Him and be with Him, forever
and ever, amen. Just don’t
believe in the damnable falsehoods of these philosophies, such as Hinduism.
I would guess the chakra teaching was preserved by Noe’s
progeny in that part of the earth, probably originating with God & Adam in
the Garden of Paradise, till mixed with damnable religious ideas in the East. At any rate, it does not contradict
any dogma of God’s One True Religion of Roman Catholicism. To
the contrary, not only does seven chakras illustrate the ubiquity &
symbolism of the number seven in our creation, but plenty of circumstantial evidence is now available, backing
it up, though not accepted by the academic mainstream… yet. But
if, indeed, chakras are real, it
would seem God has built number seven into our very beings.
Why? Because we’re meant to
be with Him forever. End of sentence.
This is the profound symbolism of seven. There is a central four in seven things, symbolizing the Hypostatic Union of
Jesus’ Divine & Human Natures, of God joining with our
humanity. This is the Sacred & Suffering Heart of Christ,
the Holy Eucharist and Holy Baptism, indeed, of all SEVEN SACRAMENTS the Triune God has given us in Catholicism
(notice that seven again in
the Seven Sacraments!!!). The first three of seven (numbers one, two & three)
represent God’s Trinity, 3-Persons-in-1-God. The second
three of seven (numbers five, six & seven) signify a human ‘trinity’,
of body, soul & spirit; of past, present & future; of Church Militant,
Suffering & Triumphant. We look like Him, and this
includes the trinitarian aspect. Subject to Him in Catholicism, we can join that human ‘trinity’ to
His Divine Trinity in Eternal
Marriage, via Christ & His Church. Rebelling against Him by remaining outside Catholicism --- or by
being really bad Catholics
and dying that way, unforgiven
--- we then join with Satan’s Behemoth, the Hellish Leviathan, the Oceanic Beast… and die
everlastingly.
Rationality or
irrationality, Heaven or hell. It’s our choice. We can be six married to seven, or we can be triple six in rebellion for
eternity. If married
to God through His Singular Catholic
Church, we join with HIS
TRIPLE SEVEN. Our triple six
nature submits to His Triple Seven Nature --- human with divine --- and, via His Hypostatic Union, in His Roman Catholic Body, in a Beatific Vision, we merge in the central fourth: the Hearts
of Jesus & Mary beating as One, SACRED & IMMACULATE.

(The Holy Family of
Do you see, then, precious reader, the triangular
nature of seven?
The first three of seven, representing the
Triune God, symbolizes a triangle, since triangles have three
sides and the equilateral is most perfect, signifying the THREE
PERSONS IN ONE GOD. This is the greatest & singular DIVINE
EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE which dwells always manifest in Highest Heaven
whilst, notwithstanding, omnipresent (everywhere present throughout Creation).
The second three of seven (after the central fourth), signifying
a human ‘trinity’, symbolizes a triangle, as well,
which, if we go to Jesus through His Ever-Virgin Mother, Mary, imitating and
striving for Her Immaculate Beauty, then makes us, in the Singularly Saving
Church Body of Jesus Christ, like an
equilateral triangle, too, perfectly balanced in our ‘triune’
humanity. Or, to put it most poetically, the purpose of our human ‘trinity’ is to be like THE ‘TRINITY’ OF THE MOST
PRECIOUS HOLY FAMILY in Nazareth of Galilee in Palestine (their home
apart from their sojourn in modern day Cairo, Egypt --- the ancient temple
center of Amun-re ‘sun god’ worship in
‘Sun City’, or, in Greek, ‘Heliopolis’ --- where they
escaped Herod’s murderous wrath for some 6 years). Jesus, Mary & Joseph… the
greatest ‘HUMAN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE’ ever to live
upon the earth.
Where these two triangles meet --- the fourth of
seven --- is the pulsing heavenly yet human heart. Like a spiritual DIAMOND, truly, 2 tetrahedrons
--- from the intellectual perspective of the geometry of solids (that is, objects in three dimensions which
are of a special & distinct shape) --- can merge into the united shape
of a ‘triangular bipyramid’ which,
when ‘rectified’, becomes what’s known as an ‘octahedron’,
or, in other parlance, a ‘rectified
tetrahedron’, as geometrists say. We note how any diamond, in fully
perfect form, is, geometrically, an ‘octahedron’. The
octahedron, when described tetrahedrally,
is also known as a ‘tetratetrahedron’.
That is to say, literally, a ‘four-four-hedron’.
And, put differently, a jewel with eight
equilateral triangle faces. Octaves, anyone?
Oh, and for good measure, an octahedron
is the ‘dual polyhedron’
of a cube, which symbolizes
absolute symmetry and, with right angles, perfection (as well as 6 sides!).
(On top of which, we may add, is the
curious fact that an octahedron
lies at the core of any two ‘compounded tetrahedra’
--- accordingly, 2 tetrahedrons
of the same size can intersect perfectly, in precisely opposite orientation to
each other, merging together at their cores in three dimensions to a maximum
point of volume, thereby forming an octahedron at the center and the 6-pointed
‘Star of David’ or ‘Seal of Solomon’ being formed as
well, when viewed from just-the-right perspective, to see a two-dimensional
design of 2 equilateral triangles intersecting --- known in Latin as the
‘STELLA OCTANGULA’
since 8 tetrahedrons spangle
its octahedral core. Yet more octaves, anyone?)
Six is made complete in Seven, forming
an OCTAVE OF TRIANGLES. Too,
do you recall that diamonds are made of carbon?
The element which, atomically speaking, pervades our bodies and the earth with
its tetrahedral versatility,
bears the atomic number of six.
The embodiment of humanity’s
number, six, making an octave (eight)
of equilateral triangle sides,
the numbers 6 & 8 surrounding the number seven on each side, in addition to it being as two pyramids merged into one. Divine & human
symbolism, signifying the complete consummation of God & Man joined
eternally. Moreover, how supremely Heavenly it is, in talking about
a perfectly united & uniformly beating Heart,
to call a nexus of divinity & humanity, where Maker meets His Made, a
bedazzling DIAMOND!
Crystalline, adamantine, celestine
and, in beauty, wholly pristine… O Beloved Heart!
Two Hearts, in fact, as we
stated above in Chapter 142. By striving as good Catholics through Our Heavenly Queen, the
Blessed Ever-Virgin Mother of God, Mary, to be an immaculate equilateral
triangle, we may join in Her Immaculate & Sorrowful Heart to the Sacred
& Suffering Heart of Her Eternally Divine Son, Jesus Christ, making us One
with God in His Roman Catholic Body forever, the Hypostatic Union being how it
is possible, for mere human beings conceived in the damnation of Original Sin,
to enter Heaven.
This is coming near now to the Heart of the
Mystery of the Roman Catholic Faith.
It’s why we see the Number of Divinity, so
to speak, pervade Sacred Scripture.
For instance, concerning divine creation:
“And on the seventh day God
ended his work which he had made: and he rested on the seventh
day from all his work which he had done. And he blessed the seventh
day, and sanctified it: because in it he had rested [ceased from creating & forming, God in no way at all
‘weak’ or ‘tired’ from this ‘labor’, the
reader must understand] from all his work which God created
and made.” (Genesis 2:2-3 DRC)
As well, regarding the Pasch, or
‘Passover’, foreshadowing Jesus, the Lamb of God:
“Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread [flat bread not risen or
‘fluffy’ due to a lack of yeast]: in the first day there
shall be no leaven [yeast] in your
houses: whosoever shall eat any thing leavened [produced by yeast, such as risen bread or fermented
wine, etc.], from the first until the seventh day, that soul shall
perish [be damned forever in hell]
out of Israel [the Old Testament Catholic
Church]… Seven days there shall not be found any leaven in your
houses: he that shall eat leavened bread [bread risen or ‘fluffy’ because of sufficient fermentation
of yeast], his soul shall perish out of the assembly [i.e., ‘church’, the meaning of
the term in modern English which was used to translate the Latin word that, via
the original Greek word, ‘ecclesia’, means ‘assembly’;
viz., all those called & assembled, by proper initiation --- water baptism
during the New Testament epoch --- and profession of religion, which is a full
& adequate catechism into every infallible Roman Catholic dogma since Jesus
Christ & His Twelve Apostles were on earth] of Israel, whether he be a
stranger [foreigner, to wit, not
Jewish or religiously married within the Old Covenant as
‘Jews’] or born in the land.” (Exodus 12:15 & 19 DRC)
And one of the pieces of ‘furniture’
in the Old Testament Tabernacle (or
“He made also the candlestick of
beaten work [hammered out and shaped]
of the finest gold. From the shaft whereof its branches, its cups, and
bowls, and lilies came out [this
candlestick had a central column with multiple branches on two opposite
sides, each shaped into the likeness of lilies along with the cups or
‘bowls’ at the tops with wicks]: six on the two
sides: three branches on one side, and three on the other [ergo, seven
in total, including the central column with its cup & bowl;
additionally, dear soul, do you see how this seven-branched candlestick explicitly mentions and directly
demonstrates the symbolism of six,
of threes on either side of a central one,
of man-one-with-God?]… He made also [the “He” being a man named Beseleel,
who St. Moses chose to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle (or a
tent-like ‘pavilion’ Temple, to be very precise), at this point in
time, at the behest of Our Uncreated Creator… see Exodus 35:30-33 &
37:1, e.g.] the SEVEN
lamps with their snuffers, and the vessels where the snuffings
were to be put out, of the purest gold [that is to say, this SEVEN-branched
candle or ‘lamp’ had SEVEN
‘bowls’ total for all of these branches, and, occasionally needing
flames ‘snuffed out’, in addition required “snuffers”
to do so]. The candlestick with all the vessels thereof [all its parts, including snuffers &
bowls] weighed a talent of gold.
[Beloved soul, we cannot resist pointing
out how a Hebrew talent, derived from the Babylonian talent, was
67 pounds weight. Some claim it was as little as 66 pounds,
however, the point is that a talent of weight is almost precisely --- if not
absolutely precisely --- 66⅔ pounds. To wit, 66.6666666 (ad infinitum) pounds. Apocalyptic
numbers and coincidences, anybody? If that weren’t enough, the
only other places in Sacred Scripture, apart from Apocalypse (Revelation)
13:18, where the astonishingly strange number of 666 is explicitly
referenced (and apart from the fleeting mention of the descendants of Adonicam in 1 Esdras (Ezra) 2:13
who returned with the staunch remnant of Israelites from Babylon to Jerusalem),
is in the books of 3 Kings (1 Kings) 10:14 & 2 Paralipomenon
(2 Chronicles) 9:13, both of which tell us about how much gold King Solomon received each
year in his ventures with the Phoenician leader, Hiram. Yes, that’s right
--- 666 talents of gold exactly,
every year, during the wise Solomon’s spectacular reign, the height of
Old Testament Church political power! It is the covetousness of the wealth
& pleasures of this earth that drags human beings, diabolically, into
hell, perpetually beautiful & untarnished gold being for us,
simultaneously, emblematic of God
& His Eternal Abode as well as humanity’s
terrestrial & temporal obsessions. Very odd, eh?] (Exodus 37:17-18, 23-24 DRC)
Or how about something more
‘ethereal’, spiritual & metaphorical, about God?
“Wisdom hath [has] built herself a house, she hath hewn her out [cut for herself from rock] SEVEN pillars… She hath
sent her maids to invite to the tower [where
Lady Wisdom allegorically lives], and to the walls of the city [which city, by the way, is allegorical,
too, referring to the City of God and His New Jerusalem, as spoken about
elsewhere in Scripture]: ‘Whosoever is a little one [like a child in his or her heart,
and thus humble], let him come to me.’ And to the unwise she
said: ‘Come, eat my bread,
and drink the wine which I
have mingled for you. Forsake childishness [lack of humble littleness and meek childlikeness already
spoken of!], and live, and walk by the ways of prudence. [We must note how Catholics routinely refer
to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Jesus’ Mother, as the ‘Seat
of Wisdom’. Hence, what is the “bread”
and “wine” spoken
of here, which She implores fools to consume,
thereby becoming wise? Right… the Holy Eucharist, what Roman Catholics teach is the literal Body & Blood of Jesus
Himself, Who is God. Starting
to see a link to Divinity,
despite it appearing ‘allegorically feminine’?]”
(Proverbs 9:1, 3-6 DRC)
Even more revealingly, we read about the design
of God & His Temple:
“And the windows thereof [the windows in God’s Temple], and
the porch [the main entrance], and
the gravings according to the measure of the gate
that looked to the east [the engravings
upon all of these in relation to the size of the gate in this main entrance],
and they went up to it by SEVEN
steps, and a porch [an entrance area
preceded a door, which itself was reached by this SEVEN-stepped stairway]… [God via His prophet then
describes the southern entrance instead of the
Do you see, beloved
reader? Seven resides in
God’s Temple, and, at the very
heart of His Temple, the Holy of Holies, God places the measurements of SIX & SEVEN for the gate between
the two, moving from the Holies, through this GATE OF SIX & SEVEN,
into the center, where both divine
& human hearts, the two together, may beat in perfect unison.
Yet we go on, citing one final example of the ‘supernaturality’
of seven:
“John to the SEVEN churches which are in Asia [this is John the Evangelist’s salutations to the seven
dioceses that his master, Jesus Christ, has chosen to have messages sent
from Him to these seven parts
of His Ecclesial Body in Asia Minor, i.e., the modern nation of Turkey]
‘Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come [God’s Uncreated Eternality], and
from the SEVEN spirits which
are before his throne.’… Unto the angel [the man appointed bishop over this territory in the Catholic
Church] of the church of Ephesus write: ‘These things saith [says] he,
who holdeth [holds]
the SEVEN stars in his right
hand, who walketh [walks]
in the midst of the SEVEN golden
candlesticks [recall the candlestick
from St. Ezekiel’s prophecy and God’s painstaking measurement of His
Temple, not to mention that the single sacred candlestick is now sevenfold].’ ...And to
the angel of the church of Sardis [another
Asia Minor diocese], write: ‘These things saith
he, that hath [has] the SEVEN spirits of God, and the SEVEN stars: “I know thy [your] works, that thou hast [you have] the name of being alive [the reputation of being religiously alive]:
and thou art dead [yet you are
spiritually dead]”’… And from the throne proceeded lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there
were SEVEN lamps burning
before the throne, which are the SEVEN spirits of God…
And I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living
creatures, and in the midst of the ancients [priests], a Lamb standing as it were slain [Jesus Christ, the Eternal & Perpetually Divine Sacrifice for
sins], having SEVEN horns
and SEVEN eyes: which are the SEVEN Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth…
And when the SEVEN thunders
had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven
saying to me: ‘Seal up [keep them
secret] the things which the SEVEN
thunders have spoken; and write them not [don’t record anything here].’” (Apocalypse
[Revelation] 1:4, 2:1, 3:1, 4:5, 5:6 & 10:4 DRC)
Beginning to see clearly, dear soul? Seven is
obviously ‘divine’!
This is only a paucity of
everything Sacred Scripture asserts, involving seven. Nonetheless, we trust it’s enough to give the
good-willed reader a nigh-well moral certainty it’s true how God --- and the Holy Things of His Roman
Catholic Body --- is connected to His One True Religion, the Singular
Catholic Faith of Eternal Rome, and to the Number
Seven. And why… why would
this be? Because it sublimely signifies, better than any other number, what
the Self-Eternal Divinity is, and how Our Maker chooses to form us and His
Creation, for His Glory. And we His Six, made to look like
Him, Seven, yet a little less. (And notice God tells John not to record what the
“seven thunders” say? Whilst,
simultaneously, He inspires
John to record that
it’s forbidden to record it!)
Getting it? Do you see Seven
is linked to God, to the Heavenly & Supernatural?
Yet what about six? What about this number?
Is it truly linked to humanity?
Indubitably. But we’ve run out of time to explain this.
I’ve gone on terribly long about these mathematical & geometrical
matters, writing a chapter much longer than I normally make my chapters in long
books, in deference to the poor-deer-caught-in-the-headlights peruser who has bravely (or mayhap hopelessly…) taken
up the task of reading such a treatise. It matters not. If God has willed this
book to be, then He’s also willed this chapter to be way longer than a
usual chapter. Notwithstanding, I have to stop somewhere. And it’s pretty
plain how God has linked six
to humanity:
“And he [the
beast which comes up out of the earth, who, being like a human being,
works on behalf of the beast that comes up out of the ocean, see
Apocalypse (Revelation) 13:1] shall make all [everyone on earth], both little and great, rich and poor, freemen
and bondmen [employees, servants or
slaves], to have a character [a
symbol or sign] on their right hand, or on their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, but [unless] he that hath [has]
the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name. Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding,
let him count the number of the beast
[let him comprehend what this mysterious
& hidden number or name signifies]. For it is the NUMBER OF A MAN: and the number of him is SIX HUNDRED SIXTY SIX.”
(Apocalypse [Revelation] 13:16-18 DRC)
Incidentally, when it says “the number of a man”, we need not too
much concern ourselves with the indefinite
article (the ‘a’
in “the number of a
man”). Latin is not naturally concerned with either indefinite (e.g., ‘a’) or definite (e.g., ‘the’) articles, the
Douay Rheims translators, for various reasons, opting to put an ‘a’
in this verse as they rendered it into English. That is to say, they probably
thought --- around the turn of the AD 1600s, when they published their English
renditions of the New & Old Testaments, respectively, like their
theological contemporaries in the Catholic Church --- that this passage spoke
about a particular (and thus
‘definite’ and singular) human being, one whose
name or title numerically sums up to, or equates with, six hundred sixty-six. However, strictly speaking, this is speculative on the part of the
translators; it is absolutely not
demanded by the Latin grammar itself. Which is why we say --- no disrespect at all meant toward these
learned translators --- that, without an explicit, solemn & infallible
definition regarding this exact passage from Holy Mother Church upholding their
choice of translation when it comes to the indefinite article of
“a”, then no individual
member of God’s Singular Roman Catholic Church Body, with proper
learning, orthodoxy & humility, is then either dogmatically or morally
bound to interpreting the passage from
Latin with the indefinite article of an “a” in it.
Period.
In other words, it is completely &
grammatically fair to take the passage here as saying, “For it is the number of man [all humanity
collectively]…” as opposed to, “For it is the number of a man [a single particular human
being]…” as the Douay Rheims translators chose to render it
from St. Jerome’s authoritative translation of Sacred Scripture (a pope commanding him to do so around the
turn of the 5th century), called the Latin Vulgate.
Incidentally, any real and well-instructed Catholic knows Jerome’s
Vulgate to be the biblical gold standard, something the Council of Trent
clearly & infallibly assures us.
But we defer to the poor, downtrodden reader. As
said before, God could mean, here in the Apocalypse, that a particular
man will be the ‘Antichrist’ par excellence; nonetheless,
it’s possible that He meant something else, too, or without
meaning any particular man is to be the ‘Antichrist’ (though I wouldn’t nonchalantly bet on
this, it often being safer to follow even a few early Church fathers when
confronted with something disputable).
Again, though, the fathers have no universal
teaching regarding this passage.
Nor has the Church solemnly & infallibly
defined an
interpretation.
So we merely give a second biblical example about
six:
“And he [God]
said: ‘Let us make man to our image and likeness: and
let him have dominion over
the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole
earth, and every creeping creature that moveth [moves] upon the earth.’ And God
created man to his own image
[to look just like Him]: to the image
of God he created him: male
and female he created them. And God blessed them, saying:
‘Increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fishes of the sea, and the
fowls [birds] of the air, and all
living creatures that move upon the earth.’ And God said: ‘Behold [look] I have given you every herb [plant] bearing seed upon the earth, and
all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind [capability to reproduce themselves], to be your meat [food, not necessarily flesh]: and to
all beasts of the earth, and to every fowl [bird]
of the air, and to all that move upon the earth, and wherein there is life,
that they may have to feed upon [eat from
them].’ And it was so done. And God saw all the things that he had
made, and they were very good. And the evening and morning were the
SIXTH day.” (Genesis 1:24-31 DRC)
And there you have it, in both first & last
books of the Bible. Six
inarguably connects to humanity,
since God Himself made human beings on
the SIXTH day of creation.

--- or, How
Not to Remain Grossly ‘Pablo’ Modern)
The word ‘modern’ can mean a lot of
things, depending on whether it refers to our history, art, music,
architecture, religion, philosophy or what-have-you. The meaning is further
obscured by the fact, too, that, as early as the late 1800s, at least a few
thinkers were touting so-called ‘post-modernism’. Though, really,
we cannot seriously say, in hindsight, that a ‘post-modernism’ had
any real or lasting significance until the mid-twentieth century, at a bare
minimum. Yet what do we mean in saying ‘modern’?
How can we talk about ‘post-modern’ without first defining ‘modern’? Ergo:
‘Modern’ in its narrow & strict
sense (as derived from ancient Latin) means ‘just now’ or
‘recent’ or ‘contemporary’. This, by the way, is a
pretty useless sense. Why? Because
we are fleeting, and time always marches on. Ergo, it cannot properly be
a name of any era, since, in meaning simply the ‘present moment’, it
becomes irrelevant as time goes by. And even if people don’t
realize this --- and it seems they don’t --- ‘modern’ is then
whatever one’s latest contemporary people think ‘modern’
means, regardless of the former sense
and whether or not people grasp their previous generation’s use of the
word. Accordingly, every new generation will have a different idea of what
‘modern’ amounts to. This makes ‘modern’ an incredibly
malleable & shape-shifting term. The careful scholar thus notes how limited
it is. And yet the word endures in daily use as a frequent synonym for that
which is ‘contemporary’ or ‘recent’ or ‘the very
latest thing’.
‘Modern’ in its broad & general (and
therefore more useful) sense means ‘a huge rejection of everything
standard in our lives before the middle of the 2nd millennium,
wherein our part of the world (centered in Europe, originally) questions &
jettisons the majority of what people of European descent, or under their
influence, used to believe, finding new (and usually contrary) ways of doing
things, with new fashions and new styles and new ideas that often shocked &
repelled people of a more ‘conservative’ outlook as our constant
‘reinvention’ of human life --- and its ‘values’,
‘convictions’ or ‘philosophies’ --- flies in the face
of what once dominated our civilization’s thinking’. This is a
rather rough definition, admittedly, but accurate and fair. Assuming
you’re paying attention to this book, Helplessly
Ignorant, up till now, then it ought not to surprise you. It’s a
common theme. And our part of the world, dominated by
I’m trying to get us to understand ---
certainly any real & intelligent Catholic, yet even those who are not yet
Catholic but are at least traditionally religious and against, or wary of,
Modernism and the New World Order --- how serious & tragic the change has
been. Resultantly, I’m also trying to get us to discard our modernized
views & behavior, returning to the Infallible Truth that a Catholic Europe
once championed.
Pretty hopeless? Yes it is, humanly speaking, to be quite blunt.
Since when does a nobody like me shape global humanity?
I labor under no illusions… I’m a zero.
Strangely, however, God occasionally chooses to
use zeroes. If that’s me, then be aware. I take no credit for anything good that comes out of this effort.
I’m a nobody. Indeed, less than nobody
since I’m a sinner, I’m stupid, and I’m a very bad Catholic. So what can somebody like me do?
God’s letting me write, okay. He’s letting me post my words online,
in the cloud, with a global forum (but
quickly outdated format). So what? Speaking with brutal honesty, what in
the world does this amount to? Not much. Candidly speaking, very little. My efforts
are lilliputian & feeble. If I fail, good!
Whatever my merits --- or blatant lack
thereof --- I deserve ridicule. Still, if I’m successful, good! To God be all of
the glory. I’m just a tiny frail tool in His Hands.
At best. Perhaps that’s why my name is
‘Paul’. ‘Paul’ means ‘small’. As in, ‘tiny, pathetic’ or ‘worthy of
derision’. After all, nobody likes ‘losers’… do
they?
So if I win, only in the end, eternally speaking,
I still look like I’m losing, don’t I? --- terrestrially
speaking, in a world which is corrupt, temporal & evanescent. Don’t
I? It’s what I deserve, isn’t it? Wherever judged wrongly,
don’t I still deserve vindictiveness in the bigger sense,
suffering for what I really deserve, for the sins I’ve truly
committed, in spite of the judgment
of other human beings against me, estimations that may be wrong, biased &
unjust, hating me mindlessly for the wrong reasons? This is Catholic all
the way, a truism that brave Roman Catholic souls (with whom I cannot be grouped, the groveling coward that
am!) suffer horribly at the hands of wicked Catholics or non-Catholics,
this being God’s way of testing elect souls --- those He loves ---
purifying them, humbling them, disciplining them, and, by difficult trial,
revealing how much they love Him by subjecting them to the same pains &
tribulations that He Himself endured as Jesus Christ. The God-Man, spotless
& pure, patiently put up with our cruelty & ridicule.
And if He --- the Eternal God --- suffered
this… how much more ought we? Why on earth should real Catholics escape
brutal persecution or injustice? Why should we, His followers, be treated any
different when God Himself suffered our wickedness?
He didn’t deserve it, yet He faced our
wicked cruelty unflinching.
Whereas we, so very sinful,
deserve it fully.
So why should we escape it?
Why be an exception?
We’re not and we can’t; it’s
God’s ultimate test of us by fire.
Not everyone is named ‘Paul’. Yet every Catholic must be small &
humble. How ridiculous, then, that I --- given this name --- am the
opposite! Small of body, yet how large my pride! How loathe I am to suffer! How
cowardly I am when people despise me, ignore me, belittle me, or, when I get
sick or injured, bemoan my weakness. I desperately seek to evade these burdens
instead of embracing them like Jesus tenderly embraced His Cross of
Crucifixion. Like Simon of
There are other Pauls,
too. I’m not the only one. Nor do all humans have the same name…
yet Paul has been a popular moniker for nearly two thousand years, since the
great apostle, St. Paul, received this title as a nickname, presumably from God
Himself. You’ll recollect from the Acts of the Apostles in Sacred
Scripture that Paul used to be named Saul, was of the tribe of Benjamin (the smallest of the twelve
tribes, by the way, and descended from the youngest and hence smallest
of St. Jacob’s twelve sons), was a ‘Hebrew of
Hebrews’ (meaning, allegorically,
that he as a Jew was incredibly fervent for Old Testament Religion,
being an orthodox Catholic of the Old Covenant and therefore a member of the
group of anti-Hellenic Jews called the ‘Pharisees’), and, in
hindsight, was obviously the greatest missioner of Catholicism that the
world has ever yet seen. That is to say, after his confrontation with
Christ on the road to Damascus, a supernatural light stopping him dead in his
tracks (he was going there to imprison
and punish Christians, hating their adherence to Jesus of Nazareth as the
Jews’ God-given Messias [Messiah]) and blinding him for three days,
he then became the very thing he had hated, a staunch Christian and thus a
solid Roman Catholic, since
Christianity & Catholicism are one single thing, all other versions
of so-called ‘christianity’ being nothing
of the sort.
Or, to put it differently, when all kinds of
people call themselves ‘christian’ without adhering to Jesus’
Roman Catholic Teachings whole &
entire, authentic Catholics can then logically conclude, with
infallible certainty, that these poor misled people… and no matter how
‘sincere’… are most definitely NOT upholding Catholicism whole & entire. Consequently, they are most definitely NOT what they claim to be. To wit, they
follow a manmade fantasy that they call ‘jesus’
& ‘christianity’. They
believe in things Jesus did not teach,
and they refuse to believe things Jesus did
indeed teach. Their version of ‘christianity’
is WRONG,
everlastingly dead wrong --- a false
religion --- a heresy masquerading as ‘true’ while in damnable
opposition to Jesus’ real &
fully true teachings, all of His Infallible Dogmas known as ROMAN CATHOLICISM.
Again, go
here to see IRONCLAD HISTORICAL PROOF of what I say.
I have not
made this up, and truth is not
the majority opinion of an election or a popularity contest. I was raised to despise the Religion of Rome; I
was not ‘born’
Catholic, I did not
instinctively ‘love’ what Her Church taught. So why did I abandon ‘born
again’ Evangelic Protestantism, along with a ‘spirit filled’ Charismaticism --- and
lose all my friends, as well as most of my family, in doing so
--- when all my prejudices were against
it and my worldly comforts would be lost?
I was also raised a modernist,
shaped by public schools and university to deprecate anything truly
Catholic. I lost any big
career and hope of fame, power & wealth in becoming Catholic. What on earth would cause a man to do this?
A very careful, very thorough and HONEST study of history and the writings of the most
ancient of Christians. What real people had to say for themselves
in long ago centuries, a mere one or two or three or
four or five centuries after Christ, in their own personal words,
showed me --- inarguably! --- how Christianity was exactly
what Roman Catholicism says. Nothing
unique to the beliefs of Protestants, Evangelics, Charismatics, ‘born againers’,
‘followers of jesus’, or what-have-you,
is upheld by real Christians all the way back then, in the 1st, 2nd,
3rd, 4th or 5th centuries. End of sentence. Whereas --- indisputably! --- everything such ancient & real Christians say, when it
comes to teachings that are completely
unique to Roman Catholicism, is spot-on, flawlessly agreeing with the Roman Catholic Church in every single way.
Period.
He, who once persecuted Catholics and thought it
pleased God to murder them --- who
referred to himself as “one born out of due time [that is, born
late, as if ‘too long’ in the womb of his mother]” (1
Corinthians 15:8b DRC) --- was just like me. I, too, abhorred the Jesus of
True Christianity, which is Roman Catholicism, and thought it only fitting that
this ‘horrible’ Church should die and disappear. I was wrong, just
like him. And, just like Paul the Apostle, at the age of 33⅓,
God suddenly appeared to me, out of the blue, in the middle of the giant
metropolis of Los Angeles (called this,
by the way, in honor of a great Catholic saint, Francis of Assisi, and the
chapel he rebuilt at God’s behest, that became the center of his religious
order, the Franciscans, saving Catholic Europe), challenging my prejudices
and my ignorance, making me to see Saving Truth.
St. Francis of
In addition to this, like
In the desert, like
Now, I am in no way good or great like the
Apostle Paul. I am a miserable sinner, a coward, and not worthy of this title,
‘Catholic’. I’ve taken it to myself, given to me by Christ,
His Mother, St. Francis,
It is good, then, that I am Paul, and small, and
nobody. It’s what God chooses. Indeed, every true Roman Catholic today
must be small, alone & nobody. It’s our destiny.
There was another Paul, though, that I will
mention. Unlike St. Paul the Apostle and myself, however, he was born Catholic,
baptized as a baby in the country of Spain, when that poor nation --- while
ravaged and attacked, the Church’s enemies striving mightily to destroy
Catholics & Catholicism --- nevertheless was still Catholic enough to do
so. (Of course, it is today, as I write, no
longer Catholic, there being no truly Catholic nations remaining on
earth for awhile, until God’s Wrath is spent.) Unfortunately, he became
utterly the opposite to the Apostle Paul and myself.
He became an atheist, saturated in modernism, hating with a passion everything
his Roman Catholic nation used to uphold. Yearning to destroy Catholicity and
tyrannized by his passions, he fornicated repeatedly throughout his life, not
even bothering to ‘marry’ most of these women. His work and his
adulteries were still appalling to many people at the time, howsoever
de-Catholicized the nation of
And, oh yes, he is… arguably and
possibly… the most renowned artist of the 20th century. Ah,
but to whom do we refer? What ‘small’
human being is this?
¡Ay, Dios Mío!
Señor
Pablo Picasso. Ever heard of
him?
If educated, or a lover of art, then…
doubtlessly!… most certainly you have. I knew a
little bit about him as a teenager. Later, in my twenties, I toured one of
several museums dedicated to his work, carefully & slowly, trying to fathom
his mind. It was the Musée Picasso (
I was a young man, trying to see what was just
beyond my mind & vision… way back then, before I could make heads or
tails of it. A hopeless case? At the
time, yes. Prior to becoming Catholic --- surely,
without doubt. But in the long run? Not so fast. God & Humanity are
amazing. Puzzles can be assembled faster than we think. Way fast.
And with angels helping, and
the Holy Ghost?
Well, quicker than you’d think.
Señor
Picasso didn’t have this same deficit (not
quite) as we do today in our richer Europeanized section of the world, the
vast majority of us now non-Catholic (indeed,
anti-Catholic, a great many of us!). The Hierarchy of the Church was still
functioning (albeit badly at the turn of
the 1900s), and the Catholic heritage of
Of course not. In addition to minds, all human beings have
living hearts.
The question then becomes, “Is a human’s heart good or bad?”
That is to say, do we have good will or bad
will? Do we want what’s right or what’s wrong? Do we
want to know --- and believe in --- the truth, or a lie? Do we
want to find out WHO Our Maker is, and WHAT He made us
for, or do we want to devise any
fantasy we like, believing whatever
modern myth makes our curdled
hearts ‘satisfied’?
Thus why people raised Roman Catholic oftentimes turn into BAD
Catholics. Their hearts are rotten, in spite of Catholicity, his or her will
wickedly ANTI-Catholic.
Such was poor Pablo. (‘Pablo’, by the way, is Spanish for ‘Paul’, in
case the reader doesn’t already know this fact.) Mr. Picasso did not want to believe in the
Catholicism he inherited; or, if still believing for a while, did not want to obey God’s
Roman Catholic commandments. He preferred his own way, and the way of
the modern. Anything Catholic, in terms of medieval
Or, should we say: irrelevant, except as
a framework against which to rebel.
Funny how human beings so frequently define
themselves by what they hate, fight against, imagine to be
‘tyranny’, and so forth --- rather than troubling to be truly
‘original’ by coming up with something that stands on its own,
isn’t it?
Indeed. Real independence is not what most people think it is.
Not that Señor Picasso
wasn’t brilliant. He was incredibly talented & intelligent. (Remember, though,
my dear soul, that talking about Pablo Picasso, and complimenting him, is NOT the same as saying that his
work is safe and moral for
Catholics to enjoy; to the contrary, BEWARE
of his art since it is routinely
immodest, immoral & misleading. I say what I say about him to be
charitable & realistic… not to approve of everything Picasso said,
did or accomplished. He was a sinful man and apostatized from his childhood
Catholicity.) But, like so many human beings --- and especially our modernized
people --- his brilliance evinced itself in how he reacted against his intellectual & cultural inheritance, which
was fully Catholic, European &
Western (accordingly, built upon our Catholic, European & Western Civilization since Jesus).
Savvy?
Pablo Picasso, ‘small’ human being he
was, dared to defy the ‘big’ Natural Law that every one of us, who
is of adequate intelligence, has divinely written upon our hearts. Maybe not as
extravagantly as we do today, right now, but he both paved the way and
exemplified Modernism more than, practically, anyone else during the last
century-and-a-half. He is, as it were, the ‘figurehead’ of
Modernism. Not because he absolutely agreed with everything we take for
granted, right now, in 2017. Au contraire, because he
surpassed his era and, his art dominating the thought of intellectuals (as well as the peripheral awareness of
non-intellectuals), nobody could afford to ignore him. You,
possibly, could hate him, detest him or mock him… but you
couldn’t pretend that his work was not pertinent. Love him or hate
him, you couldn’t take your eyes off of him. Truly, in tons of people hating or mocking him, his
gargantuan influence was proven. Consequently, Mr. Picasso, in
rebelling against Western Civilization & its heritage, became a symbol,
visually speaking, of what
Modernism is, of who Moderns
are. Rebellion against the Law of Natural Reason epitomizes our epoch.
Catholicism epitomizing the Law of Natural Reason, being God’s One True
Religion, it is thus plausible to say that
Picasso is, perhaps, the preeminent ICON
of apocalyptic times.
And whether or not you admire him, understand
him, or try to emulate him.
In any case, he’s like a mountain you
cannot avoid.
Similarly the
You may be ignorant. You may be a clueless child,
total idiot or irrational life form. Incomprehension, blindness and lack of
rational thought is immaterial, ultimately. The
mountain is there; it simply dominates the territory. If you
live near it, or travel through the local vicinity, then you must reckon with this gigantic
mound of rock. Regardless of ignorance, stupidity or blindness, you will --- if
nearby --- be effected by this huge
peak.
Our ‘small’ Picasso is not
literally the singular ‘mountain’ of modern times. He’s
just the most visible epitome of a modernist summit. He’s like a
pyramidal capstone, shining golden in the sun. Or, to drive it home more
allegorically, we may put it this way:
Pablo is, by lack of any wholly equal competitor, a near-perfect Effigy
of Modernism, the statuesque figurine on top of the New World Order’s
resurrected Tower of Babel, the quintessence of modern thought &
modern behavior, the ‘new man’ of communism.
Every religion has its liturgy, no matter how
hidden from most people’s sight.
The Religion of Modernism is no exception, no
different in the long run.
‘Little’ Picasso, whilst not really
‘communist’ intellectually speaking (many of his contemporaries ridiculed him for his shallowness in
understanding, intellectually, what Communism truly is), was, nonetheless, communist
at heart. Just like almost all of us today. To some extent or another, we
are all, as an aggregate human race, in fact ‘communized’ in our
way of life, way of thinking, way of government, and etc. Irrespective of what
it is that we imagine we know or believe, we have all of us, collectively,
become --- without even realizing it --- ‘socialist’ in our daily
outlook.
Curious --- no? --- that ‘Communism’
cognately echoes the term ‘Communion’.
Communion… the Most Holy Eucharist…
is at the Heart of Catholicity.
Chance, then, that Communism clearly evokes this religious
word?
Not at all. Not if your brain is in gear and mental ears not
deaf.
You see, Lucifer has been busy building an Anti-Church.
In place of a ‘Body of
Christ’, he makes a ‘Beast of Satan’.
In place of the Light of Catholicity, he constructs the Darkness
of Anti-Catholicity. Instead of paintings, statues, music and other
kinds of art that lift our minds & hearts to Heaven, his minions --- even
if only unconsciously --- have made paintings, statues, music, films and etc.,
etc., that keep our earthly minds, trapped in earthly bodies, fixated on the
things of this earth. Modernist art, education, government and so on, are the
liturgy of this new religion. Religion that teaches us, dogmatically, as
if it could never be wrong, that there is no religious dogma
apart from, “Do whatever you want.
No one can tell you otherwise.”
I.e., aside from the bizarre contradiction in
this Dogma of Modernism that adds:
“Unless, of course,
you dare to want the Infallible Truth of Catholicism. That is
absolutely forbidden. You must NOT
want that. To believe your immortal soul is in danger and that you cannot save this immortal soul outside of the Catholic Church is
a very inappropriate thing to believe.
How ridiculous! It is intolerant & offensive. We will never tolerate that. We do not care if our unwillingness to
tolerate such a hideous belief offends you. Only our
standard of ‘intolerance’ or ‘offensiveness’ matters,
you stupid little peon. We
rule; you don’t. That’s all that matters. Might makes right.
So stop it! Stop trying to be truly
Catholic. And remember… always do whatever you want --- provided that you DON’T stupidly & perversely want to be a TRUE Catholic!”
Sound insane and
hypocritical, my beloved soul?
Welcome to the Modern World.
This is ANTI-CHRIST.
We human beings alive today have now seen the
Beast… and it is us. We
are the Oceanic Sea Monster of the Apocalypse; we people today, the human race on earth right now, are
the New World Order and the New Human Being so long coveted by Kabbalistic rulers, Freemasonic leaders & Communist propagators;
we modern human beings are the long foretold Antichrist and the powerful
global means by which we bring upon this earth a Second Advent of Lucifer; we, Modern
Humanity, are both a new Tower of Babel, as well as symbolically (yet also literally in our visible material
reality!) building the unprecedented Modern Tower of Babel into the
Heavens, becoming ‘Man-Gods’, erecting a proud edifice or ‘idol’ unto own
ourselves, mighty ‘HOMO DEUS’.
We have seen the enemy and it is us. We are satanically possessed.
And the Mark of the Beast is already
upon us. We cannot escape it, cannot efface it, cannot get rid of it, unless we become truly Roman Catholic
and believe, and obey, all that
God’s Singularly Roman Catholic Religion infallibly teaches &
commands us, whole & entire, with
absolutely no exceptions to this wholeness & entirety of all infallible
Roman Catholic dogmas ever, lest
we lose & damn our immortal souls eternally.
Period.
But what is the MARK OF THE BEAST? (See Apocalypse [Revelation] 13:16-17,
14:9-11, 16:2, 19:20 & 20:4. The reader must realize that major Protestant
bibles refer to it as a ‘mark’. The Catholic Douay Rheims calls it
a ‘character’. However, both words mean the same thing --- to wit,
some sort of ‘symbol’ linked to a ‘satanic beast’.)
For millennia, speculation has been rife over
this question. In the last half century, following the Vatican II
Pseudo-Council and the Great Apostasy coming out into the open all over the
world, Evangelic Protestants have fallen in love with the idea that it’s
some kind of tiny ‘computer chip’ or ‘bar code’ put
onto, or into, our bodies, as a sign that we’re part of the apocalyptic
‘sea monster’… which, they imagine, howsoever vaguely or
inconsistently, to be a tyrannical, anti-democratic, anti-American,
anti-freedom-loving, evil global government or power that enslaves everybody.
Now, I can’t say for sure that
there’s nothing to this idea --- and even though I’m plainly not
Evangelic Protestant anymore, and, while patriotic toward my country (the USA), not enthusiastic about
our American government (including the
‘founding fathers’, who were mostly, if not all of them,
Freemasonic and Deists) or the liberal modernism that is being shoved down
our throats nowadays. So, yes, to be perfectly honest, maybe the Bible, in
talking about a ‘mark’ or ‘character’, means --- at
least partly --- that a tiny chip or a visible code is put onto, or into, our
bodies. Yet I will make a simple observation:
We don’t need hi-tech human microchip implants (very
small integrated circuits on RFID… or ‘radio frequency
identification’… transponders) or ‘bar codes’ (which
now seems rather ridiculous, uninformed & ‘retro’ to educated
people as of today) to satisfy the prophecy of the last book in Sacred
Scripture, John the Evangelist’s Apocalypse, when it comes to the Mark of
the Beast. We already have a satanic
mark upon us.
It’s called ORIGINAL SIN.
And, as I make carefully & logically clear
from both Sacred Scripture and the Infallible Magisterium of the Catholic
Church in a short book, Mary Exalted,
on this website, The Epistemologic Works, whatever Original Sin is, spiritually
speaking, it is, necessarily, also something that has
literally changed us physically. When Ss. Adam
& Eve committed the first sin of human beings in the Garden of Paradise,
they not only lost access to Heaven and Eternal Life, they also gave over SUPREME RULE of the earth TO THE DEVIL (making him the “prince of the power
of this air”, as God inerrantly inspired St. Paul to call him in
Ephesians 2:2 DRC). This Supreme Rule includes us, humanity itself.
We are physically conceived
in Original Sin, every one of us (apart
from Jesus & Mary, of course, as Christ’s Catholic Church infallibly
teaches us), and, until we get the Sacrament of Baptism and (if adequately intelligent) Profession
of Faith (the Roman Catholic Faith whole
& entire), not one of us can escape the everlastingly damning
consequences of our Original Sin or have a complete chance, with grace &
wisdom helping us, to fight our corrupt flesh, stop sinning, and so save
our souls.
In other words, if nothing else, the ‘Mark
of the Beast’ is at least this Original Sin physically engraved, as it were, in our very flesh, corrupting us. Even to the point of it
being genetically coded into
the chromosomes of the cells in our
human bodies, we bear the ‘mark’ of Lucifer --- the
Spiritual Prince & Ruler of This Fallen Earth --- in our very own selves, physically,
and therefore visibly (if only
under an electron microscope, or through the means of technical analysis in a
laboratory, identifying where our fallen nature, in the flesh, is
twined into our cellular structure & genetic code). Why, then, scripturally, are we
told that this luciferian ‘mark’ is borne upon the foreheads,
so to speak, or right hands, of those not belonging to Jesus Christ,
who instead are Satan’s? Because it is a parable that is
being told here in these passages of the Apocalypse, and, via the three that
specifically mention the forehead or right hand, it is telling us through metaphor how this
‘mark’ is revealed in a
visible way. Viz., what does the forehead represent? The part of a
human being that is conscious & intelligent, making wise (hopefully!) decisions. And what does
the right hand symbolize? Most humans are dextrorsally
inclined (right handed). And it is
our hands by which we do most of the things that we human beings accomplish,
for good or for bad. Indeed, in the language common to traditional religion ---
certainly in Catholicism --- it is the right
hand that symbolizes goodness & virtue. Hence, to have a
‘mark’ that is of the Devil upon the forehead or right hand symbolizes that a human being does not want to believe in
Christ’s One True Religion of Catholicism,
that he or she does not choose to do
everything God commands us in His Singularly Saving Roman Catholic Faith.
Such wicked people typically never wash
themselves clean in the Sacrament of Baptism, neither, if adequately
intelligent, do they keep themselves spiritually clean by professing &
obeying the Religion of Roman Catholicism. They believe what is false, and they
do what is wicked, when it comes to religion & philosophy. They were conceived into the
Devil’s Earthly Empire with Original Sin, and they have never
broken that servitude, spiritually speaking. Physically speaking, Satan’s Mark is branded
into their flesh, remaining ‘unerased’,
since they refuse to seek, or
acknowledge, the Catholic Faith,
refusing as well to obey Christ’s Catholic Body,
starting with joining this Body in Catholic Baptism, and performing the
religious & moral duties of God’s People. Consequently, they remain
the servants of the Ancient Dragon
& Serpent.
Like little Picassos (the surname ‘Picasso’ derives from ‘magpie’,
and implies a person who ‘gossips’, telling lies or unflattering things
about others --- which, by the way, we do not intend as describing all
persons named ‘Picasso’), they’re infinitesimal. Meaning, not nothing, but… made by Our Creator out of
nothing… almost ‘nothing’. In fact, the only reason we
aren’t ‘nothing’ (ontological
‘nothingness’ set aside for a moment), is that God makes us look
like Him, in His Image, which is
what makes us truly important. For all his brilliance & talent,
little Pablo Picasso would have been nothing all by himself, even from a human
perspective. It took lots of other people recognizing him as something
‘big’ to ‘make’ him into something big, so to speak. Likewise modern humanity.
We’re infinitesimal ‘nothings’ all by ourselves. But let us
act together, collectively, in sync… and we become, from a human
perspective, something really big & impressive.
So big & impressive, it’s called an apocalyptic OCEANIC
BEAST.
We defy God, calling ourselves ‘God’,
imitating the Devil. We do whatever we want (as
long as it’s not annoyingly Catholic!), and we believe whatever
religion we please (the one that flatters
us as if we’re ‘Gods’, especially). We lie about God,
becoming little Picassoan magpie gossips, unable
& unwilling to tell the truth --- or say anything flattering --- about the
True God & His One True Religion. This is Antichrist.
Twelve is a unique number. It’s the first
integer with so many factors, or smaller whole integers that can evenly divide
into it, such as 1, 2, 3, 4 & 6, in the sequence of numbers that are whole.
One thousand is also a curious number. In God’s Sight, one thousand
symbolizes completeness, whilst twelve represents humanness doubled.
Wherefore, reading near to where the Apocalypse talks about a ‘Mark of
the Beast’, we see:
“And I beheld [saw], and lo [look] a lamb
stood upon Mount Sion [the tall mountain on which the earthly City of Jerusalem stands,
particularly the Temple, here symbolizing the Highest Heaven, from where God
reigns over All of Creation], and with him an hundred forty-four thousand [144,000],
having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads [this can mean many things, but, at a bare
minimum, it means a person called, and truly being, Roman Catholic whole
& entire in one’s religious convictions]… And they sung
as it were a new canticle [song],
before the throne [of God]… and
no man could say [sing or chant]
the canticle, but [except for] those
hundred forty-four thousand, who were purchased
from the earth [paid for by
Jesus’ Blood on the Cross and made through receiving the Roman Catholic
Sacrament of Baptism and a Catholic Profession of Faith]… These
follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth [to wherever the Lamb --- Jesus ---
goes]… And in their mouth there was found no lie [falsehood,
that is, false teachings or wrong morality of any non-Catholic
religion!]; for they are without
spot [sin] before the throne
of God.” (Apocalypse [Revelation] 14:1, 3a-b, e-g, 4c & 5 DRC)
Now, many good Catholics have said this is
talking about the special martyrs who die opposing the Antichrist near to the
end of our world as we know it, who then receive a special reward from God.
They may be entirely correct; I’m not going to say they’re not.
Nevertheless, the meaning of Sacred Scripture here is not necessarily limited to just this one interpretation.
The very precise number of 144,000 is a
huge clue that this is so. How often do complicated & messy
persecutions wind up producing an exact even number of thousands in total?
Odds are, very rarely. Furthermore, how likely is it that God selects this
peculiar number, randomly? This is a parable for he or she who has ears to hear.
144 is the square
of 12 (12 times 12 equals 144). In English, rather
archaically, it’s called a ‘gross’. Not ‘gross’
as in, “Ew! That’s disgusting!”
Rather, a number medieval English speakers found
convenient in talking about how many things there were when counting a large
amount. Twelve signifying our humanness doubled (6 the number of humanity, 12 symbolizes God veiling Himself
in our lowly Humanity, joining to us via Christ hypostatically),
12 squared makes a square, or cube if extended 3-dimensionally, like the perfectly
cubical New Jerusalem being the Church in Apocalypse 21:1-26, or the
Holy of Holies in Solomon’s Temple in 2 Paralipomenon
[2 Chronicles] 3:8 cubical, too, or ‘3-dimensionally square’,
as it were. Squares & cubes symbolize perfection…
in this case, our perfection as humans
submitted to the God-Man, Jesus Christ, in His Roman Catholic Body.
We must be anti-Picassos,
stop being grossly modern antichrists, and become a Perfect Gross (144) in God to an order of magnitude a thousand times over, little infinitesimals finally made complete
in His Vast Infinity.
It’s strange & esoteric, but if you study higher dimensions
geometrically, you can make multi-dimensional cubes, or ‘hypercubes’. In
nine dimensions (like a novena) you get a hypercube with 144 seven-dimensional (that
divine number…) ‘faces’ hypercubes.

“And he shall make all [everyone], both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and
bondmen [people who are free and people
who are slaves], to have a character [mark]
in their right hand, or on their foreheads. And that no man might [nobody
may be able to] buy or sell, but
[except for] he that hath [has] the character, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name.” (Apocalypse
[Revelation] 13:16-17 DRC)
We’ve discussed the apocalyptic
‘mark’ or ‘character’ prior to this.
I point out, logically, that, while I can’t
rule out the possibility of some sort of ‘technological’
fulfillment of this prophecy --- human beings all over the world, in subjection
to this ‘beast’, putting some sort of ‘visible symbol’
or extremely low watt ‘electronic signal’ upon those who submit to
the beast, ‘worshipping’ it --- I also note, rationally, from a
Catholic theological perspective, how we
don’t need to invoke ‘technology’ or ‘visible
symbols’ to already fulfill this
description physically.
We already have the Mark of Lucifer upon us with
Original Sin. He already ‘rules’ us, having taken supremacy over
this fallen world with King St. Adam and Queen St. Eve choosing to rebel
against God & His Catholic Religion, partaking of the fruit of the Tree of
Knowledge of Good & Evil, thereby becoming ‘like God’ in that
they could, after eating the fruit, distinguish between good &
evil… yet without God’s Perfection any longer, immune
to temptation… indeed, now often yearning to fall into sin.
Yet, were that not enough,
if we are going to interpret
it technologically, too, well
then:
Think about it. What nifty little technical tool
has recently enchanted all of us, becoming what is not only an overwhelmingly
irresistible piece of tech for almost everybody on the earth, but, truly,
something most of us think we couldn’t possibly live satisfying, normal,
pleasant & fulfilling lives without it? The juices in
your (perhaps) slightly underutilized brain starting to flow? Putting
two & two together --- which, by the way, equal four?
Just in case you didn’t know the answer. Or
remember.
Oh, yes… but the nifty little tool?
Correct! The smartphone.
Formerly known as the ‘cell phone’ (still very occasionally called that, but
very distinctly retro), invented just before the beginning of the 21st
century, it took Mr. Jobs and a rather fruity company with the curious (you know I’m not kidding…)
‘apple’ logo to popularize it beyond belief, making it seem
indispensable as well, by 2008. It is now ubiquitous. Even in the third world
countries. Asian makers of smartphones dominate globally, overall, nowadays.
But Apple is still filthy rich, and filthy powerful.
The point?
Not only are smartphones ubiquitous (everyone has one) and
‘indispensable’ (nobody wants
to give them up), they are taking on the functions
of money, purchasing & selling. In other words, there’s an app for
that. Who goes to the bank anymore? Fewer & fewer of us.
Who still pulls out the credit card, debit card or cash to pay? Okay, more of
us than he or she willing (or needing)
to go to an actual, physical, brick-and-mortar bank, yet lovely little apps are
making this unnecessary, too. It’s quicker, easier & more fun to use
your smartphone. You can even scan the barcodes as you go. You win; the store
wins (less employees needed to pay to do
what you’re now doing for yourself, probably more rapidly, especially as
you get it down pat); everybody wins. Except for…
Well, don’t want to get cynical. But --- oh,
you know, the ‘power’ thing.
As in, “He or she who has the power,
rules.”
Yes, that
power thing.
Meaning?
In 2018 (as I write this part of Helplessly Ignorant), what have we seen?
The gigantic Google, whose motto is ‘Do no evil’, did some pretty
hideous evil --- particularly by our Modernist standards --- and has gotten
into some hot water with political leaders in the
Mere chance?
No intelligent & shrewd person can believe
this. What’s more, it’s also publicly documented fact that these companies
--- as well as the mainstream media --- are increasingly relying upon the
notoriously liberal Modernist ‘Southern Poverty Law Center’ (SPLC)
for its list of ‘hate groups’ to disown, disavow, refuse to link to
or host, etc., and, generally, suppress & trash talk them (if you must say anything about them at all,
so nauseating, pustulant & foul are they, per the most fervent of
‘progressives’). A fanatically Modernist SPLC has been adding
‘conservative’ groups to its ‘hate groups’ list…
and not just the ‘white supremacist’ type groups like before,
labeled the ‘ultra’ right or ‘far’ right. No, now even
run-of-the-mill ‘conservatives’, fully mainstream a decade or less
ago. In short, they’ve used the SPLC and other references as excuses,
obviously & purposely trying to slant the upcoming 2018 & 2020
elections against Trump & his increasingly Trumpified Republican Party.
Rather cheap & slimy?
In a supposed
‘democracy’ like the
Going to cause a fervent
‘progressive’ to lose sleep, though?
Probably not. Like Communists, the ends
always justifies the means.
So-called ‘conservatives’, however,
are very much up in arms. Who will win? Too close to call, at this point. Could go either way, from a human perspective. And, again, I
cannot ‘identify’ with any political party since no political party
fully represents me. I prefer, as a Roman Catholic, to evaluate individual
issues based on facts, logic & Catholicity. Wholly & mindlessly
adhering to a political party seems to me to be irrational.
Nevertheless, I don’t like someone like the
SPLC labeling self-styled ‘conservatives’ as ‘hate
groups’… and shutting them down, suppressed… just because the
SPLC, and other liberal Modernists styling themselves as
‘progressives’, don’t like them. This is known as
‘dirty politics’. Really dirty. Such
liberal Modernists might want to wash their hands thoroughly before sitting
down to partake at the American government’s dinner table.
Yet the real point is this:
A few big tech companies control the
world’s social media & data. A few gargantuan companies control the
world’s contemporary gadgets & food supply. Most of us in the most
modernized part of the earth depend on these things intrinsically. We would not
be able to function, live or face life without them. Even the less modernized
part of the earth is, nonetheless, more and more heavily dependent upon them.
Now, you do some head scratching and use your God-given brain (*gasp*) to think logically &
cleverly.
Smartphones now dominate the globe. Everything is
interconnected via one, single, mammoth, worldwide cloud (even interplanetary, as bright scientists send out more probes &
orbiters, learning to use long range lasers to provide high bandwidth data
transmission across ‘space’). We’ve already seen some of
these massively rich & powerful companies willing to use their wealth &
clout to shut down & suppress those they don’t like. Do liberal
Modernists like real Roman Catholicism or those of traditional religion
& morality? No, they do not. If wealthy enough, and powerful enough,
to shut them down and suppress them, do you think that they would refrain? Do you think sensitive & tender
consciences would forbid them from being so nasty?
Oh my poor, poor, poor reader. So
charmingly naïve & innocent.
Don’t you know the timeless slogan,
“Might makes right”?
To wit, “I’m too strong to stop. Get
outa my way!!!”
The Luciferian & Apocalyptic
‘mark’ or ‘character’ is every human individual’s
Sin of Origin. This ‘character’ is spiritual, yet also physical
& genetic. It can only be effaced by the ‘mark’ of sacramental
baptism into the Roman Catholic Body of God Himself, Jesus Christ. Being truly
& fully Catholic, Her Infallible Dogmas absolutely unchanged and undefiled
in any baptized person’s adequately intelligent mind, do you realize how
powerful people could persecute us for staying Catholic and acting Catholic?
Or, for that matter, staying traditional and
acting traditional enough?
Right… they shut us down, making it
impossible for us to buy & sell, just like the Apocalypse, in Sacred
Scripture, foretells. After all, we’re utterly dependent on the
terrestrial economy they’ve put in place. Our smartphones, distribution,
stores, cloud, basic or nifty products & whatever else is so typically 21st
century in the modern world, are in the hands of, really, a very few people.
These people are rich & powerful. If liberal Modernist,
then why would they like us? And why would they accommodate us?
Why not shut us down and make us knuckle
under… if they can?
They’ve already been making moves in that
direction. If they can get away with it --- why not?
We just need to become a little more interconnected, a little more
indoctrinated, a little more dependent, a little more cowed & suppliant,
and then… ta da! How many of us grow our own food, sufficient for year to
year? How many of us own our own places outright, without debt owed to a
usurious bank or ‘financing company’? And did you know that all
banks & financing companies in the world are dominated by just a few
usurious banks, rich & powerful, at the very top? So what makes you think
this is ‘unthinkable’? Given the chance, without real opposition,
it’s entirely possible.
Money makes the world go ’round. Faster and faster. Feeling dizzy?
And if not 6 subject to 7, then earth’s
economy is everything.
+++ 146. Total Sell Out? (Can’t Buy +++
Me Divine Love, Either… or Celestial Food)
Ah, true. Traditionalist diehards could turn to
bartering.
Such a non-money-based economy could get a few
folk along for awhile, if not too brutally & militaristically squashed or
imprisoned. A few of us could learn to live off the land, growing, harvesting,
catching or herding our own food. Perchance a few could learn to make their own
things again --- albeit they’d have to give up much, if not most, of the
snazzy production techniques and flashy technical flourishes we take for
granted today.
And, mayhap, this kind of liberal Modernist
hardball won’t take place yet in our most modernized section of the
world. If I grasp Catholic prophecy properly (especially Our Lady of Fatima),
we might escape seriously brutal & militaristic tactics until after Heaven
grants us a brief ‘period of peace’ upon putting the Great Apostasy
to an end, converting what remains of the earth’s population to a real
Roman Catholicism. Mayhap. I’m no prophet, so I
don’t predict one way or another. I simply note possibilities.
We can, howsoever, know this with an ironclad
certainty:
Jesus the God-Man through His Beloved Disciple,
St. John the Evangelist, in the Apocalypse, warns us quite bluntly how those
who take the ‘mark’ or ‘character’ of the Sea Monster
will NOT be loved by Our Creator or
be a guest at His Eternal & Celestial Banquet Table, dining on the
Eucharist Flesh & Blood of the Lamb of God forever & ever, world
without end, amen. Period, end of sentence, and case closed.
This is vivid in Sacred Scripture. It is not
arguable or debatable.
The Apocalypse tells us that taking this
‘mark’ or ‘character’ is equivalent to total rebellion
against God. It is the exact opposite of, and in contradiction to, the Body of
Christ, which is Roman Catholic and none other. That
is to say, you are either a member of the Body of Christ or the Beast of Satan.
One is rational, the other irrational. One is obedient to Our Maker, the other
apostate & rebellious against Him.
As Jesus said:
“He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not
with me, scattereth [the person
who doesn’t gather and work with me, instead opposes my
goal and ruins what I do].” (Matthew 12:30 & Luke 11:23
DRC)
Which is why, then, the third of three angels
declares from the heavens to the earth:
“If any man [human being] shall adore the beast [worship the ‘oceanic monster’, i.e., modern humanity self-deifying
itself and individual human beings thinking themselves above all
other creatures & entity, even Our Creator, being Neo-Pagans,
anti-Catholic and thus themselves the Antichrist] and his image, AND RECEIVE HIS CHARACTER IN HIS FOREHEAD
[rejecting anything God’s
Catholicism infallibly teaches is urgent & true, ergo, necessary to know
& believe], OR IN HIS HAND
[disobeying anything God’s
Catholicism infallibly teaches is urgent & right, ergo, necessary to do
& obey]; HE ALSO SHALL DRINK
OF THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF GOD, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup
of his wrath, AND SHALL BE TORMENTED
WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE [that is,
burning sulfur, what the Elizabethan word ‘brimstone’ means] in
the sight of the holy angels, and in the sight of the Lamb [Jesus, the true God-Man]. And the smoke of their torments
shall ascend up for ever and ever: neither have they rest day or
night, who have adored the beast, and his image [to wit, anything that represents this self-deifying
Neo-Paganism of our Modernist Humanity, whether customs, symbols, words,
organizations, governments, works of art, or of whatever nature it takes upon
itself, etc.], and whoever receiveth [receives]
THE CHARACTER OF HIS NAME.”
(Apocalypse [Revelation] 14:9c-11 DRC)
To be in and for the Body of Christ (Roman Catholicism)
is rational. To be in and for
the Beast of Satan (Anti-Roman-Catholicism) is irrational. The Roman Catholic Religion is infallibly
true as a whole because it is the Singular Body of Jesus Christ,
which is the Pillar & Ground of the Saving Truth since it is the Body
of the Author of Truth. (1 Timothy
3:14-15) The Anti-Roman-Catholic Religion --- the Religion of Modernism --- is invariably
false as a whole because it is the Singular Beast of Satanic Lucifer,
which is the Sea & Quicksand of the Damning Lie since it is the Beast
of the Author of Lies. (John 8:44) It is rational to believe in and adhere to the Saving Truth; it is
irrational to believe in and
adhere to the Damning Lie. The former is human,
made in the Image of God, whilst the
latter is bestial, twisted
& deformed in the Image of
Anti-God.
Don’t be fooled, though. Every non-Catholic religion is false.
Therefore, every false religion is anti-Catholic.
It’s simply that the Religion of Modernism --- in it’s
entirety, fully complete & successfully taking over the world --- is the epitome of Anti-Catholicity and
hence Antichrist, the Spirit
of Luciferian Rebellion made wholly
visible in this tragic world. Such is what real Roman Catholics --- or
those who become so --- face today.
If we refuse to bow to the Apocalyptic Beast and worship it
(read: buy into self-deifying
Neo-Paganism, following slavishly every single change to human life,
involving infallible dogma or commandment, that our powers-that-be think
necessary to change, in stark contradistinction to what we once thought true
& right), embracing an awful Luciferian Character & Mark, then
we will pay for it (no pun
intended). Pay for it by not having the privilege anymore of buying
or selling… something most of us take for granted. So
much for granted that we probably can’t fully comprehend what an enormous
impact this would have on our lives, humanly speaking. Can’t go to
the local grocery store? Or any market, super or otherwise, to buy something
needed? Can’t use your smartphone, tablet or iPad, laptop, or
what-you-will, to purchase something via the cloud, at Amazon, New Egg, or
etc., etc.? Can’t sell your used car? Well, that’s annoying. But
when you make a living selling automobiles? Or jewelry? Or produce? Or paintings?
Or e-books? Clothing? Security systems? Apps and code or
programming? Pumps and toiletry? Houses? Furniture? Rosaries? Kitchen appliances? Pizza? Electrical repairs? Ideas?
Getting the point? If you can’t buy
anything, then you can’t live easily.
And if you can’t sell anything, then you
can’t survive nowadays.
You can’t even ‘sell’ yourself,
as an employee or contractor!
So how are you going to survive? Physically, I mean?
This is an Oceanic Beast punishing you for defying it, especially for being Catholic.
Doesn’t matter that you are a nobody and no real threat; simply the fact that you exist,
and that you’re Catholic, following & worshipping the true Christ, is
enough. Enough to make satan go into a tailspin,
flipping out with demonic outrage, and inspiring in his spiritual offspring ---
Modernist Neo-Pagan Humanity --- total hatred of you. Even traditionally
religious people can earn this hatred, despite not being Catholic.
Enough hatred that everyone
thinks, “Naturally. You should be punished.”
In other words, if you’re going to continue
believing, espousing & doing Roman Catholic things, then, plainly, you
should suffer for doing so! Suffer horribly until either, one, you back down, playing along with everybody else, religiously
speaking, and talk & act like any good beastie-lover should. Or, two, suffer horribly until you starve to
death, freeze to death, heat to death, wander to death, thirst to death, or
somehow, in some way, unable to obtain what you need to survive physically on
this earth, just simply die and get out
of their way, which is the way of their giant, little, self-deifying,
‘I-can-do-whatever-I-please’ beastie. And, again, what’s to
stop such people from doing so to you?
If the relevant Modernist government has you
blacklisted as one of ‘them’, then it is facile for it to pass on
this information to usurious banks, all the way to the top, who
can then pass it via the cloud anywhere in the world you should roam, even if
you can get in past certain borders or checkpoints. Having done this, they can
freeze your accounts, rendering all of your money, in whatever currency,
useless. The
They can also pass this information to giant tech
& social media companies, or other mammoth international corporations.
Wham! You’re blacklisted on their accounts, and, with data spread
instantly & easily via a connected world, any smaller, yet still more than
compliant, companies can follow suit. They won’t deal with you despite
your account not being frozen; or, if the giant tech companies act on their own
--- particularly with backing from a powerful government --- then they can shut
down your smartphone’s ability to be like your mobile bank & money
transaction tool, rendering you, once more, paralyzed.
Oh, and you do recall that your smartphone can be
tracked anywhere you go?
Yes, ostensibly, you can ‘turn off’
this tracking. But think about it. With all of the ‘security
breaches’ in the last several years, horrifying people with how
vulnerable their personal data is to anyone with the skills to hack into
supposedly ‘private accounts’ (and
with it generally known, amongst more wonky tech geeks, that our US government,
and other wealthy & powerful governments, almost certainly have at least
some tech people at their behest, leaving ‘backdoors open’ in the
code that they write to operate these smartphones or other tech devices in the
world of the ‘Internet of Everything’, thus leaving everyone of us
vulnerable to operatives of these governments gaining access to what is
supposed to be, purportedly, ‘private’), then how reliable do
you think this option to ‘turn off’ the smartphone tracking is (or, for that matter, tracking of your
latest model hi- tech car…)? Right. You
probably can’t turn it off if the powers-that-be want it kept on. The
idea that you can ‘turn it off’ is merely a comforting myth. Maybe most of the time you really are turning it off. As
long as it doesn’t matter to the powers-that-be, what’s the problem
for them? But in a pinch… ah, that’s different. If you’re on
the run, or trying to disappear, as long as you’ve got that smartphone
and they’ve got that backdoor in the code, then turning it off is
useless. You’re still perfectly visible to them almost anywhere on earth.
But let’s say you take out the battery, ditch the phone, or etc.
What then?
You’re familiar with Google Earth, correct?
And you’ve seen how amazingly accurate their satellite images of the
surface of our globe are, right? You can actually identify an individual human
being on a clear day from one of these high flying satellite’s images. So
take the next step. Realize that, while impressive, this is nothing
compared to what highly classified and readily available satellites & their
lenses are capable of. Due to restriction of information, we can only
guess at how powerful these better satellites are. However, savvy tech &
military geeks can make shrewd guesses --- based on the information we have,
then extrapolating accordingly --- that such satellites have, at a bare
minimum, easily some ten times the resolution of Google Earth or other
commercial images. And this is merely the most cautious estimate (some would say ‘ridiculously
cautious’). It’s more likely the best satellites have a
hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times the resolution of Google Earth.
Oh, but you say, what about clouds & weather? Doesn’t this afford
some privacy? Some, but not enough all the time.
Satellites can view things at other wavelengths & frequencies of
electromagnetic radiation. In infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV), etc., you can
penetrate clouds, darkness or etc. with better success… rendering these
coverings less helpful. Mind you, I’m not saying IR & UV surveillance
makes such people ‘all seeing’ and thus ‘all knowing’
or ‘all powerful’. Just that it makes it that
much harder for a Roman Catholic being persecuted nowadays to go ‘off
grid’.
You could still do it. It just takes one tough
cookie. Or plenty of miracles.
Or both.
And, in any case, consider what certain state
governments in
As opposed to the new ‘rights’
regularly found by the SCOTUS over the last eight decades in the US Constitution
that are never explicitly stated in that document, and which any educated
person, who’s taken time to read the US Constitution and study the
matter historically, knows very well how the writers of these passages so long
ago never consciously intended, or, leastwise, never straight out said so in the
words they used in its composition. Again, perhaps the latest SCOTUS justices will
finally uphold an explicitly stated and long upheld (albeit, not perfectly…)
‘religious liberty’ for those of us being sued, persecuted and
otherwise berated for staying loyal to our religious teachings.
Perhaps. We’ll see. In the meantime, understanding
the threat at hand?
It’s called a Beast for a reason.
It’s not nice, and it’s not rational.
It is predatorial, territorial & deadly. It
hunts and it kills.
Maybe smartphones and the cloud are a correct
‘tech’ interpretation of
In front of our very eyes, right now, in this
very time and place and situation.
And why would a Roman Catholic person courteously
defy the Beast?
Why would a Catholic politely decline from aping
the Modernists?
Because the Triune God of the Catholic Church
very clearly said:
“If any man [human being] shall adore the beast [worship the ‘oceanic monster’, i.e., modern humanity self-deifying
itself and individual human beings thinking themselves above all
other creatures & entity, even Our Creator, being Neo-Pagans,
anti-Catholic and thus themselves the Antichrist] and his image, AND RECEIVE HIS CHARACTER IN HIS FOREHEAD
[rejecting anything God’s
Catholicism infallibly teaches is urgent & true, ergo, necessary to know
& believe], OR IN HIS HAND
[disobeying anything God’s
Catholicism infallibly teaches is urgent & right, ergo, necessary to do
& obey]; HE ALSO SHALL DRINK

of his wrath, AND SHALL BE TORMENTED

shall ascend up for ever and ever: neither have they rest day or
night, who have adored the beast, and his image, and whoever receiveth [receives] THE CHARACTER OF HIS NAME.” (Apocalypse [Revelation] 14:9c-11
DRC)
That’s why. We don’t want to burn in
hell eternally. We want to see God Face-to-face. We want to be with Him forever
and ever, world without end, amen. We want to partake of the Marriage Feast of
the Lamb, neverending, the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Christ, the God-Man, our
only food. Our Celestial Food & Heavenly Bread, Our Immortal Life.
+++ 147. Is It All Greek to You? +++
Perhaps you understand everything we’ve
explained in the past seven chapters.
I hope you do. Yet even if some of it is
‘too much’, or terribly confusing, let’s get back to our
roots. I.e., for those of us who are of European descent.
Howsoever, since this entity we’re about to discuss further has had
repercussions all over the earth and upon each & every single people in the
world --- then I’d say, if only allegorically, it’s
everybody’s roots, ultimately. That is to say, Western Civilization has influenced
all of humanity.
And heading toward the West, in relation to where
the center of action was before, celestially speaking, looking down upon our
lovely earth with Our Creator’s Omniscient Perspective, it is Western
Civilization that we’re talking about here. The beginnings
and foundations of it, at least. And do you remember which people
we’re talking about?
Correct --- the Greeks. Japhetic and, under Alexander,
world class conquerors.
Yes, those particular Greeks.
Remember, the Center of the World, from
Heaven’s Point of View, is the
The Second Adam (Jesus
Christ) undoing the awful mistake of the First Adam.
In relation to this point on the earth, our
spherical surface’s center from a divine perspective, the Greeks (the
Macedonian Greeks, to be exact) lay west of that center. Hence why, both
literally & metaphorically, we speak of the central action over human
history moving west and of the beginnings of Western
Civilization. True, the Greek Empire, at its height, spread far into the East.
And, later on, the West came to be frequently defined as west of
This is where Western Civilization started coming together, quite visibly.
For good and for bad. Nevertheless, let’s first deal with the
bad.
+++ 148. The Greeks: Worst Civilization Ever? (Part 1) +++
And, so I don’t have to keep reinventing
the wheel, I’m going to quote myself.
Namely, from a recently completed book, Inter Regnum, parts of Chapters 14 to
18, where I talk about the far-reaching effects of a then dominating Greek
culture, customs and way of life. For when a young Alexander the Great passed
from this life at the age of 32 (we
sketched his life & career in Chapter 138 of this tome itself, Helplessly
Ignorant, recall?), the empire he
quickly built continued, although in a different form and not entirely centralized.
No matter. Civilizations can have very profound effects simply because
they’re influential and spread their ways widely, including to other
races.
Such were the Macedonian Greeks and their far
flung realm.
Yet the most relevant facts? Let’s start cracking.
The members of the

as?
Oh, the usual. You know --- legal brothels, naked
athletics, the two sexes bathing & swimming together without any clothing
in public pools, murder of unborn babes, brazen homosexuality, idolatrous or
intellectually ‘skeptical’ philosophers and places of higher
education willing to teach anything & everything as if all ideas, theories
& speculations were tolerable or even, mayhap, ‘true’… that is, apart from God’s Singular
Religion. ‘Tolerance’
disappeared there. I mean, religion that was not pagan? Humbug!
And etc. Hm. Kind of sounds like the Great
Apostasy, doesn’t it?
Except
it’s even worse --- way so --- today.
Ah, but back to the bad old days.
We’re beginning to outline the formation of
the Greco-Roman Empire.
It’s normally described as two distinct empires, however, for reasons
I’ll make clear in future uploads of the remainder of this book, it is
best understood, from Heaven’s point of view, as a spiritually vital,
albeit seemingly civilly fragmented territory (at times…), which is ultimately one single continuous
entity. Not in intricate organization under a vast hierarchy which ruled
for its whole existence, never experiencing complexity.
No. Rather that, in existing for centuries on
end, it perpetuated a new
whilst --- simultaneously --- ancient
heritage, civilization, culture, languages & way of life. This imperial
entity changed & evolved much over time. We are not entertaining the
fiction that the Greco-Roman Empire was ‘static’. Nor are we
entertaining the equally silly fantasy that empires are always centralized and
governed in totally obvious ways. Enormous
empires are, at heart, what enough
people believe in, enough
together, enough of the time
and in enough places, to make
them powerful & real.
And
hence authoritative, essentially continuous and highly influential, shaping
individuals’ lives within its realm and impacting others elsewhere. The point?
The bad part of Hellenic
Greek culture was lots of paganism & immorality.
And how did it spread? And
was the spread tyrannic or only tempting?
We give an example of what
is, admittedly, one of the worst Hellenic episodes.
After Alexander the Great ended his nonstop spree
of conquering, he died. Too young to have taken thought about who was to
succeed him as the next ‘emperor’ (or whatever you want to call the ‘supreme leader’ of a
vast realm). His generals therefore scuffled over who would rule. Brutal
wars followed for several decades. Eventually, three concurrent dynasties
triumphed (although two more Greekish
‘kingdoms’ or ‘realms’ perpetuated distant in the East
for awhile), providing adequate linkage & continuity to a mammoth
region so as to be able to call it, in retrospect, a true imperial entity; and
also, in hindsight, the very real & formational foundation of a later
Roman-headed rule.
It is the Seleucid Dynasty of the Greek Empire we
will look at closely yet briefly here, illustrating the extent to which the bad
part of Greek culture --- that is, its evil --- went.
This dynasty & region of the empire
dominated, to varying degrees at various times, the areas of central Anatolia (ancient Asia Minor, present day Turkey),
Persia (mostly Iran), the Levant (Syria & Palestine, etc.), Mesopotamia
(basically today’s Iraq, with
Kuwait, and parts of Afghanistan, Pakistan or Turkmenistan often thrown in,
etc., etc.). Like all Greek imperial dynasties of the epoch, they were
Hellenistic. Hellenic culture is the civilizing ‘glue’ that bound
them together more as single entity than divided units, secondary only to the
common blood of Greek colonists in numerous regions.
Indeed, this Hellenic culture & thought is a
forerunner of Modernist behavior.
Nonetheless --- and despite materialistic (in the philosophic sense of ‘matter
is all there is’) or ‘agnostic’ tendencies amongst
many of their intellectuals, who, some of them, got a bit daringly dismissive
of ancient Greek religion & deities --- they
were pagans. Ergo, combined with a haughty assessment of themselves as the epitome
of civilization and superior culture, they tended to look down on
their more ‘barbaric’ vassals. This fantastical hubris came to a
head with the self-deifying Antiochus Epiphanes.
Literally… his self-chosen name in Greek
meant ‘god manifest’.
Technically the fourth in the Seleucid Dynasty to
bear the name of ‘Antiochus’, his detractors ridiculed him with the
play-on-word title of ‘Epimanes’ (‘Epimanes’ rhymes with ‘Epiphanes’ in Greek
and means ‘the mad one’). I would wager, though, that the one
who is paying attention can guess Antiochus Epiphanes’ attitude toward
other non-Greek, non-Hellenic religions & cultures. Yes, that’s
correct --- he was extremely derogatory.
Not unlike Modernists toward traditional
religion, especially Roman Catholicism.
Accordingly, Antiochus Epiphanes took it upon
himself to ‘enlighten’ these unenlightened ‘Cretans’
that he conquered or already ruled over. He wanted his Greek gods acknowledged
as the proper gods to be worshipped (at
the very least, alongside their own but lesser pagan gods), and he wanted
he himself recognized as the superb ‘god’ he thought himself to be
and, consequently, treated & worshipped as such.
Is that so bad? Yes, if you’re Catholic.
That’s what the Old Testament Catholics ran
into around the middle of the 2nd century BC. Already, prior to
this, widespread Hellenic culture had infiltrated into the hearts & minds
of many members of the One True Religion of the Old Covenant, before Christ
arrived on earth. At a bare minimum, it tempted them into horrible sin of a
ghastly mortal nature, and made them into bad
Catholics. At worst, particularly as years & decades of Hellenic
influence corroded their daily lives and communities like acid, it made them
become heretical or apostate ‘catholics’. To wit,
not Catholics at all, period.
This is what the Jews (and any persons of other ethnicity joined to them as fellow members of
the
They were only too happy and too eager to be
well-off and avant-garde.
Sound familiar?
Yep, pretty much like Roman Catholics of the past
three centuries. Such Catholics just couldn’t get enough Modernist wealth
of Capitalism, Modernist technological gadgetry, Modernist scholarly Darwinism,
Modernist philosophical Endarkenment [Enlightenment]
or Communism, Modernist political ‘democracies’ or
‘republics’ (the more
socialist, the better!), Modernist cultural immorality, fashionable
Modernist immodesty, and etc.
+++ 149. The Greeks: Worst Civilization Ever? (Part 2) +++
The Jews of Palestine then suffered a very fatal
blow --- our dear Antiochus Epiphanes decided to murder good Old Testament
Catholics. I.e., if they wouldn’t fall in line and worship Greek gods and
regard him as ‘god manifest’, honoring him accordingly as
‘indisputably divine’ like he claimed to be, his will to be obeyed
in everything. Resultantly, what was a purported Catholic of the Old Testament
variety to do?
For those already no longer
actually Catholic, the answer was obvious:
Worship those Greek gods! And flatter Antiochus profusely as
‘divine’.
For bad & cowardly Catholics, the answer was
rather painful:
Oh, okay, must ‘worship’ those Greek
‘gods’, or else wind up tortured hideously and eventually dead. Oh,
and… right… flatter this Greek leader as really, really, really
something. ‘Divine’ even. My, my, my, my, oh my.
Why does this happen to me?
For good & brave Catholics, the answer was
confusing:
Get tortured & die? Flee to the hills & survive?
Or fight the evil militarily?
All options were tried in assorted combinations,
at certain times. And prudent Catholics cannot deign to judge in these
situations, normally. Until you face it, you can’t really know for sure
what God calls Catholics to do, and each option can be legitimate.
Students of Sacred Scripture & Church History
know what happened. Very few Catholics a century-and-a-half before Christ
remained steadfast & true. Some of these few died for the True Faith.
Others fled to save their lives, while remaining true to God’s
Catholicity. But a certain group of priests, a tight knit family, roused them
to fight militarily.
It wasn’t pretty, it
wasn’t short, and lots of treachery was involved.
“But after the death
of Seleucus [Seleucus IV Philopator, who
was ruler of the Seleucid Dynasty right before the aforementioned
self-deifying Antiochus IV Epiphanes], when Antiochus [IV Epiphanes], who was called the
Illustrious, had taken possession of the kingdom [the Seleucid Dynasty of the Greek Empire], Jason the brother of Onias [the latter still rightfully, and therefore both valid & legally,
the ‘high priest’ or pope of the Old Testament Church at that point
in time, the wicked & hellenized Jason having bought & usurped the Old
Covenant Papacy, becoming an antipope and thus deceiving, bribing or cowing
most into accepting him as if he were a real ‘pope’] ambitiously sought the high priesthood:
and [he] went to the king [Antiochus
Epiphanes], promising him three hundred and sixty talents of silver [read: boatload of money, enough to make
your head spin], and out of other revenues fourscore [eighty] talents. Besides this he promised also a hundred and fifty
more, if he might have license [official
permission] to set him up a place for exercise [a ‘gymnasium’, where, back then, all
‘right-thinking’ Greeks or Hellenized people played sports in
the nude] and a place for youth, and to entitle them, that were at
Jerusalem, Antiochians [read:
special devotees of the ‘god king’ Antiochus and
practically, if not fully, Seleucid Greek citizens]. Which, when the king [Antiochus Epiphanes] had granted, and
he [Jason, the brother of Pope Onias] had gotten
the rule into his hands, forthwith [immediately]
he began to bring over his countrymen
to the fashion of the heathens [he
began proselytizing Palestinian Jews to
become avid fans & practitioners of Hellenic art, culture, philosophy,
clothing, paganism, immorality, and etc., etc.]. And abolishing
those things, which had been decreed of special favour by the kings [former rulers] in behalf of the Jews [to wit, outlawing everything that had
favored real & good Catholicity prior to this]… he disannulled
[ditto previous note] the lawful
ordinances of the citizens [Jews of
Getting the picture of this
long ago and very wicked time, my beloved soul?
The disturbing parallel with
our own era today is stark & sobering.
And, while it’s not
fashionable (or
‘appropriate’) to say so, one particularly repellant aspect of
Hellenic culture --- at its worst --- was pederasty. To wit,
a grown man having sexual relations with a boy. This vice did not happen
overnight, nor was it practiced by everyone in Hellenic times. Notwithstanding,
it spread and became accepted over the centuries. Indeed, it was practically
romanticized, some learned Greeks treating it as though it were
‘noble’, something ‘natural’ and a ‘good’
part of a boy’s maturation.
Indeed, homosexuality as a
whole became Hellenically indulged & approved.
Again, not fashionable or
‘appropriate’ to say so (at
least, as things have become nowadays, as the Great Apostasy reaches its peak
and ‘gay culture’ nearly ‘enshrined’), but this is
what St. Paul the Apostle referred to in his New Testament letter to the
Diocese of Corinth (a major ancient Greek
city, see 1 Corinthians 6:10), speaking of vile sins for which a human
being, unforgiven, will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. In Elizabethan
English, it is translated as “the effeminate” (DRC), despite
homosexual men or women not all, each and every one of them, acting equally in
an off-kilter ‘feminine’ manner.
After the Stonewall riots of
1969 in New York City’s Greenwich Village ignited the contemporary
‘gay rights’ movement, an organization calling itself NAMBLA arose (‘North American Man/Boy Love
Association’), campaigning for the tolerance & legalization of
pederasty. Unfortunately for them, most US parents reacted with abhorrence,
and, thought of primarily --- if not solely --- as ‘child abuse’ (in contrast to something
intrinsically unnatural to human nature and hence abominable),
homosexuals themselves, out of desperation, disdained pederasts publicly,
knowing instinctively that it would ruin their chances to get tolerance &
legalization of homosexuality in America. A conquest now
almost complete. Ergo, man/boy ‘love’ is slowly raising its
head again. Intellectuals, whilst cautious in 2018, are slowly
‘de-stigmatizing’ pederasty.
The
point? There is
nothing new under the sun, not even darkness itself.
Perhaps ‘greek’
to you… but if not Catholic, you’ll learn the language.
Oh, and Antiochus? How did
our dear ‘god manifest’ fare long ago?
“And the man that
thought a little before he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man
could endure to carry, for [because of]
the intolerable stench. And by this means, being brought from his great
pride, he began to come to the knowledge of himself [started to realize just how wicked & weak he really was],
being admonished by the scourge of God, his pains
increasing every moment. And when he himself could not abide his own stench, he
spoke thus: ‘It is just to be subject
to God [the reader must realize that
Antiochus here finally means the One True Creator God and not any of the
innumerable and lesser ‘gods’ of the pagans], AND THAT A MORTAL
MAN SHOULD NOT EQUAL HIMSELF TO GOD.’ Then this wicked man prayed to the Lord [the wise reader must realize here that the
divinely-inspired writer intends us to understand how Antiochus finally
acknowledged the Catholic God to be
the True God, against Whom he had grievously
sinned by attacking His Singular Church of Old], of whom [from Whom] he was not like [likely] to obtain
mercy.” (2 Machabees [Maccabees] 9:10-13 DRC)
I don’t wish to be
cruel or unnecessarily harsh. Yet this is precisely where we’re headed
today. Human beings… especially in our most modernized part of the
world… are doing all four of the horrid sins which, Roman Catholicism
teaches us, ‘cry out to Heaven for vengeance’. While not pretending
to be a ‘prophet’ in the strict sense, I can therefore state, with
moral certainty, that Divine Vengeance will come. It’s already here.
The first global punishment
was two gargantuan ‘world wars’ over the past century.
The second global
punishment: all Roman Catholicity lost in the last half century.
The third global punishment
is yet to be; but almost upon us, about to arrive.
Will we, like Antiochus
Epiphanes, admit the Saving Truth in the end?
Or will we --- if Truthful
--- obtain mercy from Our Maker?
+++ 150. The Greeks: Best Civilization Ever? (Part 1) +++
Ah, but not everything is bad regarding Hellenic
culture. The Greeks and their mighty heirs, the Romans, came up with some
pretty amazing things. Even good things. Such as? Well, we don’t have time to list it all ---
and neither you nor I have the time or curiosity to become experts in ancient
Greco-Roman civilization --- but we’ll mention a few.
First off, Plato! Arguably, the greatest
philosopher we know. Though… whether out of intellectual pride or desire
to make a splash… modern scholars will regularly disparage him for the
past several centuries. No matter, like our dear Pablo Picasso mentioned in
Chapter 144, in lots of people hating on him, his greatness is both affirmed
& assured. Perhaps you don’t understand him; perhaps you don’t
care; perhaps you genuinely disagree. Whatever, his thinking & writings
rule. Plato influences us today.
This is because, literally, Plato’s
philosophy has shaped every serious thinker in our part of the world (even if only through reacting against him!)
since his time (some 2300 years ago)
and because, since the domination of earth by European nations, religion &
culture over the last half millennium, pieces & shards of his philosophy
have thence become dominant everywhere on the globe, to some extent or another.
Truly, lots of Greek philosophers & their
philosophies influence us.
Or, at least, have anteceded us. That is
to say, every generation likes to think ‘we invented the world’
without bothering to think about it. And by ‘world’, I don’t
just mean things around us and outside of us --- I mean the ideas & values
that shape us on the inside of us, all through us. We think we’re the
first to come up with everything… questions
or doubts about this supposed ‘fact’ never arise, trapped as
we are in our ignorance… when, in reality, lots of people,
civilizations, cultures & fashions have beaten us to the punch. They
thought & did it well before the latest version of ‘us’.
Yes, there were many different ‘schools of
thought’ amongst the Greeks (and
later Romans) over nearly 1500 years (say,
from, roughly, the early 1st millennium BC to the mid-1st
millennium AD). For example, Socrates instructed Plato, and Aristotle
learned from Plato. Aristotle is often considered the second greatest Greek
philosopher, whilst Socrates’ life and brave death at the hands of his
own people (not to mention his manner of
teaching, the ‘Socratic method’ of asking clever but
innocent-sounding questions in order to stir the listener into drawing the
correct logical conclusions) make him an academic icon based on that alone.
Countless others exist --- Pythagoras, Gorgias, Antisthenes, Hegesias of
Cyrene, Xenocrates, Strato of Lampsacus, Timon, Metrodorus, Chrysippus, Seneca
the Younger, Apollonius of Tyana, Porphyry, the names go on and on. We’ve
probably lost memory or knowledge of many of them, but it’s amazing how
much still exists. As said above, it’s part of the foundation of Western
Civilization.
For instance, as any well-informed Catholic knows
--- certainly any real Roman Catholic theologian --- St. Augustine of Hippo
laid the basis of Catholic Theology (in
the large & fully developed sense) by grounding Theology in the
framework of Platonic thought. This is why Plato was such an overriding
influence on Western Civilization… since he was an overriding influence
upon the primary religion of that Civilization, Roman Catholicism. Yes, rebels
splintered the huge portions of peoples in the True Religion into various
schismatic, heretical & damnable versions of ‘christianity’;
yet even then, Plato’s influence went on, only slowly abated. It’s
hard to change a civilization overnight.
Not that Platonism (if that much
stretched and sometimes abused term is understood correctly) is the sole
foundation, or sole source of, Augustine’s theological framework.
Nevertheless, it is crucial. Why? Because Plato is, perhaps, one of the best
examples of human beings using the Divine Gift of the Law of Natural Reason
and, bereft of a full Catholicity (whether
of the pre-Christ or post-Christ kind), reasoning intelligently &
rightly to conclude accurately what we can know about Our Creator,
His Purpose, Humanity’s Destiny, and how we should live our lives between the
two. To wit, between God putting His Purpose into motion
with the creation of humanity in this world, and the fulfillment of His
Purpose through us, resulting in Humanity’s Destiny, which, as so many
individuals, will result in as many different outcomes. With this
proviso… ultimately, that we will each of us enjoy Heaven or endure hell
forever.
Whither Plato, then?
It’s curious --- and probably not well
known outside rather arcane theological circles --- but, being truly Catholic
and extending good will toward another as far as we can without violating
Catholic orthodoxy, it is plausible & acceptable to speculate that Plato
could be in Heaven. Why? Because he was
‘Catholic’? Not in the strict sense. Ah, yet you say, I
thought you’ve been hammering ‘no Salvation outside the
Church’ into your readers’ collective head during this entire book,
Helplessly Ignorant. True,
nonetheless, I’ve distinguished carefully between New Testament (or ‘Covenant’) times &
Old Testament (ditto previous
parenthetical note) times. After the Day of Pentecost, it is an indisputable
dogma that Jesus Christ requires all adequately intelligent human beings
to have the knowledge of His One & Only Roman Catholic Religion Whole
& Entire, He via the Paraclete (Holy
Ghost, or Holy Spirit) guaranteeing that we will find it… if
we search. Prior to Christ on Earth and the Day of Pentecost, there
is no such infallibly-ascertained demand. That is to say, if
a human being followed the Law of Natural Reason upon his or her heart, seeking
to do good and shunning evil, then, avoiding mortal sin and
dying with perfect contrition in his or her heart, Our Maker can consider such
a human being as just, and place them inside hell for a time until the
arrival of the Messias in the Heart of our Earth, wherein He preaches
to just souls therein. (See 1 Peter
3:18-20 for clear proof Christ preached to souls in hell. Yet He would not
preach to the damned, as they’ve utterly lost any hope of salvation. And
he would not preach for no purpose; ergo, preaching
was instruction, that they might know His Catholic Faith completely.)
Meaning? If a man before Christ shunned mortal crimes against Our
Creator’s Commandments --- including the first 3 of 10, which entail not worshipping the
‘divinities’ of the pagans --- and, knowing everything his or her
mind is capable of knowing about God, short of special revelation and the
Catholic Religion during the epochs prior to Jesus Christ and the Day of
Pentecost, and worshipping this One True God accordingly, in line with his or
her ability to know, then, upon dying, God can consider such a person ‘just’
and, in the descent of Christ into hell, this person can receive catechism into
the Roman Catholic Faith Whole & Entire. In other words, Catholics dying in
the state of grace might just find our beloved Plato in Heaven.
Likely? I don’t know. Possible?
Yes, unless the Catholic Church rules it out.
In any case, Plato’s philosophy is a part
of the foundation of systematized Catholic Theology (albeit, St. Thomas Aquinas, without disparaging St. Augustine of
Hippo’s work, far from it!, metaphorically ‘baptized’ the
philosophy of Plato’s student, Aristotle, and used it as part of the
framework of his Scholastic Theology), and, via these two saints &
doctors, as well as many other saints, theologians & scholars or leaders of
the Catholic Church or Catholic Realms, Plato became an unmatched formation
upon the edifice of Western Civilization. And Plato was Greek. Thus our present day Greek origins.
Oh, I know. Not popular to say right now.
Modernism does not approve.
Unless it’s pagan
& immoral.
Then it’s fantastic… and wonderful!
Yet the Truth is very broad-shouldered. It
won’t topple easily.
(‘Plato’ is from ‘platon’,
Greek for ‘broad’ or ‘wide’.)
And, if trammeled, it springs back up quite
quickly.
+++ 151. The Greeks: Best Civilization Ever? (Part 2) +++
Yet Greek influence on Western Civilization
extends beyond philosophy. I merely began with philosophy (and its queen --- theology --- particularly the True Theology of the
True Religion, Roman Catholicism) because of its absolutely rudimentary
ground upon which all else rises and takes form. Beyond the ground is the
edifice and all that this entails.
For instance, geometry &
mathematics.
In all likelihood, and without meaning to slight
the ingenious Greeks, they did not devise or invent everything about geometry
& mathematics themselves. Plenty of evidence leads us back to the
Babylonians & Egyptians, etc. Viz., much of what famous Greek thinkers,
that we remember today, knew, was, in turn, gained from the more ancient
knowledge already cultivated by these earlier civilizations --- both of which
we’ve exposited lengthily, in earlier chapters of the sixth devastating
point against an ‘invincible ignorance’, along with supposed
‘sincerity’, being able to ‘save’ anybody.
Anybody with adequately intelligent minds, that
is.
And, while we’ve not gone into detail about
it, there is a lot of proof that Greeks positively fawned over the Babylonians
& Egyptians, who they knew, at least in very ancient times (read: earlier two thirds of the 1st
millennium BC) had greater knowledge and greater expertise in tons of
things, including geometry & mathematics. This is not always popular to
believe in contemporary academia, but it’s also very plausible and
clearly indicated by several ancient accounts. Yet however it may be, we gladly
give Greeks due credit. At a bare minimum, they preserved more ancient
knowledge. Probabilistically by far, they furthered this knowledge with logic
& insights.
A very simple & obvious example is the
aforesaid Pythagoras, who, it is documented, had a big influence on the
formation & thinking of Plato. Pythagoras knew a whole lot about geometry
& numbers, and the fabled ‘Pythagorean theorem’ doesn’t
bear his name for nothing. He may not have ‘discovered’ it, but
certainly preserved it, popularized it, and applied it in his copious
mathematical & geometrical research. The fundamental understanding that the
sum of the square of the two shorter sides of a right triangle invariably
equals the square of the longest side of a right triangle is vital. I.e.:
a² + b² = c²
Where ‘a’ represents the length of
one shorter side of the right triangle, ‘b’ is the length of the
other shorter side of this same right triangle, and ‘c’ the length
of the triangle’s longest side, or
‘hypotenuse’. How is it God formed the
cosmos this way?
In any case, without the Pythagorean formula,
modern architecture and skyscraping structures or towers would not be possible.
To make large buildings adequately square (a
common requirement in modern times for everyday buildings, despite the unique
shapes & styles popular for rich, special or artistic buildings), the
Pythagorean theorem is also imperative. In navigation, doing so efficiently (read: shortest distance with minimum power
expended) depends upon this theorem. To survey land properly and make
accurate maps, or find the height of a distant mountain without actually having
to climb it or use extraordinary means (and
before GPS made this kind of measurement ‘easy’), this
ubiquitous theorem is or was indispensable, intrinsic to trigonometry.
Even CGI --- computer generated imagery ---
depends on it.
Anything that uses Cartesian coordinates does.
So, big impact? You bet.
Leading us to the
aforementioned architecture. The Modernist, Post-Modernist, Deconstructivist, New Urbanist, and
etc., etc., styles of the past century or so have dominated our part of the
world --- indeed, the globe itself --- yet, prior to this utter reimagination
of building, Endarkenment [Enlightenment]
thinkers and American & French Revolutionaries, simultaneous to
archeological rediscovery of ancient Italian cities such as Herculaneum &
Pompeii, had spread Neo-Classicism… literally, the ‘classic’
style of Greco-Roman buildings, especially when it came to public or government
structures, like courts, libraries, museums, parliaments or such.
Even during the 21st century, this
ancient architectural influence goes on. And howsomuch ever the philosophical
& religious symbolism behind this tendency, there’s also a simple
(and innocent) reason, too. Which is? Forsooth, because the
style is classic, beautiful,
durable & practical. What student of architecture, with any eye for
beauty, has not marveled at the fluted Corinthian column, emblematic of a human
form, and as all ancient Greco-Roman columns, evincing a perceived symmetry
with the 6 to 1 ratio? Likewise the pediment & tympanum.
One’s architectural bigotry can be blatant, nevertheless, unprejudiced,
the pediment’s obtuse triangle or ‘golden gnomonic’
configuration is massive, preponderant, eminent, transcendent &
authoritative. Accordingly, the perfect thing to invoke the
powerful, beauteous & sublime.
Yet we turn to a couple of other things. Such as?
Well, love it or hate it (and… most of us are taught to unquestioningly love it, no
skepticism permitted!), but the ancient Greeks did inspire modern
democracy, that ‘delicious form of government’ wherein the people
are told they ‘rule’ --- and have ‘inalienable’ rights.
(And if you buy that, I’ve got a
bridge to sell you in
In other words, have they the learning,
patience, wisdom & prudence to choose?
In any case, we can’t say with
justification or certainty that the Greeks ‘invented’ democracy,
not in the most basic sense. Notwithstanding, we can say that they took
‘democracy’ into a more developed form that, despite differences
with us presently, has greatly shaped, guided & inspired us, the Moderns,
in the last one to three centuries. Ergo, yet another way in
which they’ve laid the foundation of Western Civilization.
Curiously, in spite of their reputation amongst
academics for ‘pioneering’ democracy, they arguably had more kings
& strong rulers than many republics or ‘democracies’, and,
referring to the important Greek philosopher, Plato, once more, it was a
contention of his that the best form of government would have a
‘philosopher king’. To wit, a spartan man dedicating his life to
lead in a way that is both wise & prudent, seeking the best possible good
for everyone, without he, the king, lusting for power, wealth, fame or
hedonism.
Many thoughtful people today might agree that
Plato’s ‘shocking’ idea has merit.
But the other example? It may seem ‘little’, howsoever,
it’s not. Meaning?
Words.
Yes, the Greeks have bestowed a lot of their
language upon us.
Why such a big deal? Well, have you ever bestowed
lots of words in your own language upon anyone, let alone a huge amount of
people for centuries on end? Think about it. It’s a cliché
now… nonetheless, the pen really can be mightier than the sword. How so? Easy. Because ‘words’ --- and, by extension,
‘writing’ of those words --- are merely symbols of sounds or marks
to represent ‘ideas’. And ideas, when made widely known, believed
in, and acted upon by enough people, have tremendous and (sometimes) dramatic
repercussions for the world at large. Sound like a big deal?
Um hmm. It’s a big deal. You shape people’s
thoughts.
How have the ancient Greeks given us words?
Ancient Greek is the liturgical language of the
eastern part of the Roman Catholic Church. (Eastern
Schismatics --- who broke from the unity of the True Church and refused to
admit or obey a legitimate Roman Bishop’s Divinely Granted Supreme
Authority --- often still use ancient Greek in their liturgies, too, which are
simply liturgical rituals descended from the True Church in Her eastern areas
of old.) Therefore, learned scholars in
Such as?
Oh, for example, ‘orthodoxy’. This is from the ancient Greek ‘orthodoxos’, which, in
turn, comes from the separate Greek words ‘orthos’
& ‘doxa’. ‘Orthos’ means ‘straight’ and ‘doxas’ means ‘belief’ (contemporary
scholars typically render it as ‘opinion’, which is technically
correct, but misses the point slightly --- we’re talking about what is
most certainly infallibly true, and not just what a
person’s ‘opinion’ is and hence likely an unimportant
thing to be mistaken about, compared
to an Eternally Saving Truth).
Consequently, ‘orthodoxy’
amounts to ‘straight belief’.
I.e., belief in an absolute ‘straightness’
or ‘truth’, as
opposed to the ‘bent’
or ‘false’ and
thus damnable.
Pretty important idea, eh? You may not want to
believe in it. Doesn’t matter. If the infallible
truth and crucial to eternal salvation, then --- obviously! --- the concept is immeasurably imperative. And all expressed
symbolically via sounds or marks.
That we just happened to get from the ancient
Greeks. Yet other examples?
Oh, try, in the matter of religion, ‘priest’ or ‘bishop’. Or,
in the area of food, ‘butter’
or ‘olive’. (Look
up the etymology --- how words change through the centuries, sometimes over
different languages, or where they come from and how they’re derived ---
of these words if you don’t believe me. I dare you!) Or, in scholarly,
scientific or literary topics (‘topic’
itself a Greek-derived term!), ‘physics’,
‘iambic’, ‘encyclopedia’, ‘telescope’, ‘bacteria’, ‘parable’, ‘fantasy’, ‘paper’, ‘desk’, ‘hypothesis’, ‘lexicon’,
‘genetics’, ‘genome’, ‘euthanasia’, ‘hoi polloi’ and ‘eureka’ (the latter two
straight from the antiquities of everyday Greeks from some two thousand years
ago!). I could go on.
But I think you’ve got it. Hellenic Greeks
are a colossal force in our modern lives.
It may be all Greek to you; nevertheless, a huge
part of it is a huge part of all of us.
+++ 152. A Golden Triangle?

(The Political Part)
So Alexander the Great went on a barely
decade-plus conquering spree during the 4th century BC, and ---
suddenly --- a new empire on earth existed. Remember this? From
Chapter 138 of Helplessly Ignorant?
Yes, this is how the Greco-Roman Empire started. True, his father, Phillip,
succeeded to a great degree in first establishing a federation of Greek states
called the ‘League of Corinth’. This federation’s constituent
states agreed never to attack one another, unless to suppress a revolution
against it, and Phillip II (Alexander’s
father’s full monarchic name) became its first ‘hegemon’ or ‘leader’
(another Greek-derived word there, with
English ‘hegemony’!). He then started assaulting a
waning Persian realm when he was unexpectedly assassinated.
Unexpectedly as well, Alexander was then made the
very next Macedonian king.
After Alexander’s untimely death in
Notwithstanding, the Greek Empire was an empire not because it was central in rule
at the time, but because
eventually a fairly stable peace prevailed amongst
these various territories, with
much trade & intercourse, and because shared
Hellenic culture made them think of themselves overall as more ‘together & in common’
than ‘separate & distinct’. Too, Greeks were inveterate
‘colonizers’, scattering
their descendants throughout
the Mediterranean Basin and beyond
(as a mere two examples out of tons of others we could cite, consider the
Carthaginian Kingdom in northern Africa and the city of Naples in southern
Italy --- ‘Naples’ being the Italianized version, via English, of
‘Neopolis’, the Greek for ‘New City’). Their shared blood, thoroughly exceptional language (a very complex,
expressive and --- I kid you not --- literally musical tongue), along
with a reputation, garnered
from their superlative Alexander’s almost unbelievably huge exploits in
such a brief life, as indomitable
conquerors, made theirs an empire.
Yet what were the largest & primary
territories into which Alexander’s empire settled?
It was tripartite. Where
Have you not read in Sacred Scripture where it says:
“Lots are cast into the lap, but they are
disposed of by the Lord.” (Proverbs 16:33 DRC)
This is why Old Testament Catholics determined
so many things by casting lots. (Read
the Bible, especially the Old Testament, if you don’t believe me.)
Because they knew that while the casting of lots --- roughly equivalent to us
‘rolling dice’ today in our part of the world, something thought to
be utterly random and thus beyond the ability of anyone to predict
--- notwithstanding, God, Who knows all
things, knows even the ‘random’ throwing of lots or rolling of
dice, and can even control supposedly
‘random’ outcomes. Therefore, casting lots achieved two things.
One, no one can fight over the results, since any results are absolutely unbiased
toward one side or another because of randomness. And, two, anyhow, it
can reveal the undeniable Will of God since He knows what is completely
‘random’ aforehand, and can choose to control the result as
He will.
Comprehending? This is why I find it hard to
believe it was ‘chance’. Yes, we as individuals can get overly
enthusiastic and find patterns in various things that we choose to think…
mayhap without realizing it… are not purely the result of ‘randomness’.
Think carefully. In saying and knowing, infallibly, how God is Omniscient --- foreknowing all things from eternity, even
the tiniest wiggle of an insect’s wing or subatomic probability cloud in
the quantum electron orbits of an atom --- is not the same as saying He always chooses to intervene
divinely in every such thing. He can, if He wishes. But He
doesn’t have to. He can determine the ‘random’ via His
Omniscience by either intervening or else refusing to intervene.
And, in refusing to intervene to determine what is
‘chance’, He can be accomplishing some Divine Purpose
via His Omniscience… or simply be
letting everything play itself out, according to the laws of nature
He’s put in place.
Do you see, then, the difficulty in determining
patterns that are significant?
You can go off-rail, like a conspiracy theorist.
Or you can be a brilliant logical deductionist, perceiving and explicating what
is hidden to others, yet there for any to see once it’s pointed out and
explained. Hence my caution. If a reader, despite a
real Roman Catholicity, doesn’t agree with me about this, fine.
That’s perfectly alright, and we’re Catholics together in reality
in spite of our disagreement over this. On the other hand, such speculatory
logical inference is also perfectly acceptable. I can speculate with
logicalness, and, as long as I remain true to a real Catholicity, it’s
okay. Although, warning: speculate like this recklessly & arrogantly, and you can look foolish.
Really, really, really,
really foolish.
So be careful. And humble.
In any case, I know for a moral certainty that
the Roman Empire ruled when, in explaining to a perplexed St. John the
Evangelist the symbolism of the bizarre seven-headed Oceanic Beast, an angel
told him the sixth head was in place right then & there. (Review Chapter 96
in Helplessly Ignorant and Apocalypse
17:7-15 if you don’t recollect what I’m talking about.) Too, I have
excellent historical & logical reasons for grouping the Greeks with the
Romans and interpreting this ‘sixth head’ as the Greco-Roman
Empire. Read on in order to see what I mean, shortly. Ergo, if the Greco-Romans
represent the sixth head of the Oceanic Beast, then it is indeed difficult for
me to presume, out of thin air, that Our Creator would not determine certain
patterns to demonstrate themselves on earth, in relation to the terrestrial
center of the earth’s spherical surface, as decided by Him,
and this Sea Monster’s heads over history.
To wit, there’s going to be patterns to
espy for he or she who has eyes to see.
Or, put differently, we can read the visual
parable He’s put in place.
The parable, then? What is visually & historically said?
That the Greeks were one mammoth realm under Alexander the Great’s nonstop
conquering spree, howsoever briefly, represents the Unicity of God, that He is One Being and of One Uncreated Substance.
Remember, this is the sixth head and six
is the number of humanity, made to look like God whilst being a little less
than Him. That the Greeks then became a tripartite
mammoth realm under three
concurrent dynasties for a couple centuries,
represents the Trinity of
God, that He is Three Persons
and of a tripartite character Himself, Father, Son & Holy Ghost. This
tripartite nature of Greek rule continued till, conquered or subsumed by the
Romans, become Greco-Roman.
And here we see the Hypostatic Union told in
parable. What were two
separate things before --- the Greeks and the Romans --- became one thing under Roman rule. Just
as what were two separate
things before --- Humanity & Divinity --- became one thing under Divine Rule. For, as the Athanasian Creed
infallibly assures us, Jesus Christ became One not by taking the Godhead into His Manhood, but by uniting His Humanness with His
Divineness, taking it into His Godhood as One
Person.
Likewise the Greeks &
Romans. How so?
It is a complex tale how the Greeks became
subsumed into Roman rule, and historians argue continually over the details,
nuances & ramifications. We are not going to enter this fray. It does not
further my objective, and the poor reader will only suffer. What is not at
dispute is the fact that, by the beginning of the third century BC, the

Meanwhile, the Macedonian dynasty also began
suffering problems, including defeat in war at the hands of stronger &
stronger Romans. The Seleucid dynasty, waxing powerful & proud, expanded,
nearly taking over the extent of territory that their superb Alexander had
originally dominated. This in turn made more & more Greeks beseech

(The Celestial Part --- Or, How We Climb
to Heaven Via the Marian

And here is where we shift a little again,
becoming esoteric yet poignant.
For, in studying the Greco-Roman Empire very
carefully, considering all kinds of implications, including those thought
hidden & occult (what the word
‘occult’ means, that is, ‘hidden’ or
‘secret’), we find some very strange & astonishing things.
We’ve tackled the mystery of threes & thirds, as it were, designed
into our existence, prior within this book, Helplessly
Ignorant. Especially Chapters 141 to 143, where we investigated threes
& thirds expressed in decimality, and Our Almighty Maker’s
Trinitarian Nature, and the ‘trinitarian nature’ of the Holy Family
in
And what is the ‘golden ratio’, called as well the ‘golden mean’ or ‘phi’
(ϕ)?
It is the ratio (relation between, or fraction of, two things) of a line segment
divided at just the right point, such that, if we compare the length of the
larger divided line segment in relation to the length of the
whole line segment, this precisely equals a similar
relation of the length of the smaller divided line segment to the length
of the larger divided line segment. There is only one such point of
division on a line segment --- of any line segment! --- that
will work. And it seems God built this ratio into our cosmos.
Literally. Even mainstream contemporary scientists are
beginning to more & more acknowledge this fact, in spite of not believing
in (most of them, probably, being good
little Darwinian evolutionists…) a Creator. For instance, it’s
now widely admitted that plant leaf arrangement on the stem --- ‘phyllotaxis’ in botany,
another Greek-derived word --- is sometimes spiral, which in turn is based on
Fibonacci numbers. Physical models made to imitate and help explain this
propensity led, e.g., to comparison to spherical packing (packing of ball-type objects of a similar size in the most highly
efficient way), which then lead to a dodecahedral (12 faced Platonic solid shape) tessellation with pentaprismic (5 sided prism shape) faces. Such models
reveal, interestingly, Fibonacci and phi aspects. For example, we remark that
anything pentagonal (5 sided)
automatically & unavoidably entails the ‘golden ratio’.
Consequently, God has built the golden ratio into many plants on earth.
Or how about some spiral
galaxies far out in ‘space’, i.e., the heavens?
Yes, just about anything truly spiral --- such as
some celestial galaxies, every nautilus shell, the Bighorn sheep’s
spiraling horns, swirling hurricanes, the whorl of a cauliflower head, etc.,
etc. --- can exhibit a logarithmic spiral that is linked to the Fibonacci
numbers (starting with 1, and adding 1,
you get 2; then you add the last two numbers, that is, 2 & 1, to get 3;
again add the last two numbers, this time 3 & 2, to get 5; and keep
repeating this process ad infinitum or until bored or tired; the further you
carry it, the closer you get to the ‘golden ratio’) and hence
to the golden ratio or mean. Following me so far?
It can even be found in our human bodies. For instance, our DNA. For what is DNA? Crick & Watson
--- a British & American pair of scientists in the
Even the shape of a typical & average human
body, with one hand stretched upward vertically above the head, demonstrates the
golden ratio, in the proportions of the parts of our bodies, with surprising
accuracy. Suspecting Our Maker meant this
ratio to abound?
Clearly.
Yet let us pause for a moment, allowing the
perhaps agitated reader to relent from such esoteric considerations, and focus
again for a bit on history. Were the Greeks really the foundation of a
‘Greco-Roman Empire’… or is that just my ‘pet
theory’ and not truly correct or to be taken seriously? Well, let’s
quote from Horace, a great Roman lyric autobiographer, poet & writer. He
lived in the first century BC, just as the
“Graecia capta ferum
victorem cepit et artes intulit agresti Latio.”
Which, when translated from the Latin, becomes in
English:
“Conquered
Horace’s point?
Smart Romans knew very well that Greeks exceeded
them in many ways. The Greeks possessed greater art & philosophy, better
skills at mathematics & science, and their language --- so complex &
expressive during ancient times --- was far better for describing things in an
academic or artistic way. Romans knew this.
And freely admitted it!
Yes, Romans excelled at making huge structures,
winning military battles, crafting supremely well-organized bodies of laws, and
administration. We’re not dissing the Romans in making this point.
We’re simply noting how the Romans themselves… leastwise, the most
intelligent & educated ones… admitted the obvious:
That they learned a whole lot from the Greeks,
and benefited from it.
Eminent Roman generals practically idealized the
Greeks’ Alexander the Great and strove to emulate him. Rich or noble
Roman families often hired, or had as ‘slaves’, a Greek tutor in
order to make sure their sons had the best education possible. True, Latin was
the reigning language of the mighty imperial Roman realm, but Greek ranked
right alongside it --- right next to it --- as the second ‘lingua franca’ of the Roman Empire, leaders &
educated Romans very, very often knowing it intimately and using it commonly.
Romans studied and copied amazing Greek architecture & statuary.
We could go on and on. The point is made. Greeks
melded with Romans.
This is why I say they are the foundation of the Greco-Roman
Empire, and that this Empire is best understood as Greco-Roman…
and not only two ‘separate’ empires that just happened to exist in
succession, one right after the other, both ruling substantially over the same
territory at their respective heights of rule & power. They are one.
Not merely two and totally distinct from each
other.
To top it off, you may recall how we established
the Japhetic nature of the Greeks. That is to say, that the Greeks are
primarily, if not solely, descended from St. Noe’s second of three sons,
Japheth. Granted, there is evidence of some intermixing with others. As the
book of 1 Machabees [Maccabees] in Sacred Scripture shows, in Chapter 12, the
beleaguered Jews, in suffering at the hands of tyrannically pagan Seleucid
Greeks, not only sent letters to a burgeoning Rome to make a league with them,
thereby incurring their help in staving off the oppressive Seleucids (and began, too, the entrance of a gradually
growing influence & rule by Romans of Palestine, what they called
‘Judea’), they also sent letters to the renowned Spartans (a city-state realm in Greece, fabled for
their austere way of life, and practically peerless amongst military fighters),
so as to ‘renew’, they said, their ancient friendship. To wit, their ancient accord and amity between Jews & Spartans.
And how did this accord & amity come about?
Sacred Scripture is plain --- and infallibly
upheld as inerrant by the Church:
Both Jews & Spartans descended from St.
Abraham, their common ancestor. Accordingly, if you read Genesis very closely,
you note that Abraham long outlived his dear wife, St. Sara, and had other
wives after her (not to mention her
Egyptian servant, Agar [Hagar], who Sara pressed upon him in her desperation to
have a child and before having had St. Isaac, the son God had promised them for
years, Agar bearing Abraham a son, Ismael [Ishmael], the ancestor of the
Arabs). One of these wives bore the son who became the patriarchal ancestor
of the Spartans, who eventually migrated to southern
Intriguing, eh? As history
often is. Rejected or unknown today, natch.
Since when has a contemporary Modernist scholar bothered to know about, or
dared to believe in, what Sacred Scripture or ancient memory (read: tradition) tells us? Hardly ever. But this explains quite niftily the unique
culture of
But back to the Romans. Whatever their precise origin --- and
acknowledging, too, that they had to have intermingled much with Greeks over
the centuries --- their language is obviously Indo-European. Meaning, both
ancient Latin and ancient Greek descend from a common mother tongue, even more
ancient, that modern scholars have partially been able to reconstruct and call
‘Indo-European’. Therefore, it is almost a foregone certainty that
Romans are also a Japhetic people, descended from the second son of St. Noe
[Noah]. Continuing then, the curious Japhetic rule of the
last heads of the Oceanic Beast, as perceived from Heaven’s point of view
in relation to earth’s surface’s center.
Indeed, if my identification of the seven heads
of the Apocalyptic Beast is correct, then God has determined to divide seven
into thirds, allotting each son of St. Noe and their descendants a time in the
sun, as a ‘central head’ of everything on earth. And what’s
seven divided by three? A non-integer or fractional number ---
two & one third. Understanding? For
what is 2⅓ times 3? Right. 7. See how it works?
God apparently let Cham’s descendants sit
upon the terrestrially & imperially central throne for two & one third
heads. (
If correct, every Noachian filial ethnicity gets
an equal time on the throne.
Thirds again, eh? And directly linked to seven,
God’s special number.
Ah, but recollect how a triangle most wonderfully
evokes His Trinity? Without pretending to have excruciatingly exact
measurements, notwithstanding, today’s technology allows a person to make
surprisingly easy yet fairly accurate measurement regarding various positions on
earth. Meaning? Well, given a Greco-Roman Empire, where are the capitols
of this realm over the millennia (yes,
millennia, since it truly endured, in one form or another, for almost 1800
years… which, if you’re paying attention, is nigh well precisely
¼ of 7200 years, the length of time, per a Roman Martyrology, that Our
Creator has had us exist since the Garden of Paradise)?
Think it through. The Greek Empire began with
Alexander the Great’s spree of conquering in the latter half of the 300s
BC. His father ruled the
Curiously, these three capitols are very nearly
the same northern latitude. However, if one draws lines between this trio of
capitols to form an extremely obtuse triangle, measuring the distance of each
side, we find a mesmerizing fact --- the ratio of the second longest side of
this triangle to the longest side is within, very nearly, five thousandths of
the golden ratio. That is to say, the distance of
Which, rounded very slightly, is 0.618, another
way to express ϕ. Viz., you’ll find mathematicians usually
expressing the golden ratio as 1.618, all the same, it is often expressed
merely as the ‘decimal fraction’ without the otherwise de rigueur
‘one’ or ‘1’ to the left of the ‘618’
decimal fraction. And, in any case, flip the ratio around (divide 422.93
into 684.55 instead) and you get the same thing practically. That is,
1.618. Yes, phi is that flexible, invertible & amazing. Or, to
put the matter a little bit differently:
If 0.61782, then less than two ten thousandths from a 0.618
golden ratio of ϕ.
Close enough that imperfect measurement may
explain tiny divergence.
Golden ratio? Yes, very much so, spiritually speaking. Golden, indeed.
Oh, I know, the skeptic can say, “Hey, if
you search hard enough, you can find this golden ratio anywhere you look,
measure & compare. People see whatever they want to see; you’re sure
to ‘discover’ what you’re already ‘determined’ to
find.” And there is some truth to this assertion. But
only to a point, invoking simple logic. How so?
Choose any three points on the earth’s
surface at random. And I mean at
random. No preconceived agenda. With or without the ‘1’ in
‘1.618’, and measuring carefully enough to get at least four
reliable decimal digits, you have then ten thousand different decimal ratios
that you could potentially come up with. What are the odds, statistically, that
you are going to get to within less than one tenth of one percent to the golden
ratio of 618 thousandths? Taking the randomly generated triangle, or bisecting
said triangle into paired right triangles, what probability does any
individual have of getting this ridiculously close to the golden mean of
ϕ? Right, you don’t have much chance.
Simple logic tells you that this is highly
unlikely; you’re probably going to have to go through lots of randomly
generated triangles before you’re going to get lucky enough to be within
such a tiny proximity of the golden ratio. Savvy? It’s not
‘irrefutable logical deduction’ or ‘hard proof’ all by itself… but it’s also foolish to dismiss out of
hand.
The gist?
No one ‘must’ believe it significant
just because I think it so, least of all a real Catholic. Notwithstanding,
knowing that God has indeed chosen a certain spot on the surface of the earth
to be its ‘center’, from a celestial point of view, and that,
temporally, He determines human destiny in relation to this
‘center’ (the eastern
Mediterranean, in Jerusalem, at the Hill of St. Adam’s Skull), then
how difficult is it to guess that the various heads of the Oceanic Beast are
likely to reveal ‘geometric parables’ if you’ve the eyes to
see?
To wit, the understanding of
mind and heavenly graces to perceive it?
Plainly, it is NOT inconceivable. The ratio really CAN be there.
And on purpose, from a
Celestial & Eternal Point of View.
‘Hard proof’? No. Distinct possibility?
Absolutely.
Which is where we wend our
way back to pyramids. The Great Pyramid of Giza, to be precise. Remember this?
Yes. Way back in Chapter 99 of Helplessly
Ignorant we spoke about the Great Pyramid as we discussed the Egyptian
Empire as the second head of the Apocalyptic Sea Monster. And what did we
discover? That an ancient Jewish historian, Josephus --- who lived in the first
century AD and, say some, became Roman Catholic --- records for us an even more
ancient tradition (that is to say, it was
ancient tradition even during his ancient time, let alone to us moderns…)
that St. Adam, during his millennial long life, prophesied the Great Deluge to
come and had his virtuous descendants build two ‘pillars’, one of
brick and one of stone, in order to preserve knowledge despite catastrophic
punishment. And, insisted Josephus, the stone ‘pillar’ could still be examined, as he wrote, in fabled
That this
‘pillar’ of stone is none other than the Great Pyramid. For while
Recall the Pythagorean theorem?
Correct --- a² + b² = c².
This applies to right triangles, and right
triangles solely. That is, one of the three angles of the
triangle must be squarish and thus 90°. But what if you make the
hypotenuse of this hypothetical right triangle the longer version of ϕ (1.618…),
the golden ratio, in relation to the bottom side of this same hypothetical
right triangle that is a unit length of 1? This would then make the remaining
side of the triangle the length of √ϕ (i.e., the pyramid’s
height is √ϕ, or 1.272…). And do you, beloved soul,
realize that an exceptional property of ϕ, the golden ratio, is when you square it (multiply it by itself… viz., ϕ times ϕ = ϕ²), it is the single number in the world which
will then become itself plus one.
I.e., ϕ² = ϕ + 1 (or put another way, 1.618…² =
1.618… + 1 = 2.618…). Incredible? Surely. Where are we going with this, though? The Great
Pyramid in its original gleaming white casing stone, brilliant in the Egyptian
sun, is, when viewed in perfect profile, a two dimensional outline of a pair of
such ϕ right
triangles, back to back, just as we have explained above. Hence, the two
shorter sides squared and summed equal the longer side squared, which is ϕ², which is ϕ + 1, 2.618…
ad infinitum (this being an endlessly
unrepeating or ‘irrational’ number). It means, also, the area
of but one of the faces is ϕ. And, were that
not enough, measuring the area of all four of the Great Pyramid’s
faces --- adding them together --- you’ll find it’s indubitably the
golden ratio in relation to the area of the Pyramid’s base.
Hence, while we merely demonstrate but ϕ, this can be no chance. Plainly,
its design is purposeful & genius.
Mind you, though, in saying that the hypotenuse
(longest side) of the right triangle is ϕ, it is a statement of proportion --- and not
a singular & rigidly unvarying number of length.
To wit, whatever the length
of this hypotenuse in some form of measuring units (be it Egyptian cubits, British feet, or Metric
meters, or what-have-you), it is the ratio
of the hypotenuse’s length in relation to the length of the shortest side
that is crucial… and never the exact length of the
hypotenuse itself. The hypotenuse could be 1 meter, 2 meters, 30 meters, 50
meters or 75.6722 meters. It doesn’t matter. As long as the
triangle’s shortest side is a length that makes the hypotenuse 1.618
times as long, compared to the shortest side, then you’ve got a Golden
Ratio Right Triangle.
Period. You comprehend? It’s
ratios & fractions of lengths we’re talking here.
The lengths themselves can be anything…
as long as they make the ratio, ϕ.
Why is this important? Why is our cosmos filled
with ϕ,
and why
As in Heaven, so on
earth. A simple, sublime, ancient adage.
The Giza pyramids themselves (a trio of pyramids, including the Great One) are, as it were (and as Egyptologists are slowly yet surely
increasingly willing to admit), a mirror image of the ‘belt
stars’ of Orion in the heavens, that ‘mighty hunter’ seen
from northern hemispheric regions on earth. Hence, what is the golden ratio, ϕ,
telling us in the Great Pyramid at
OUR UNCREATED CREATOR MADE HUMANITY IN HIS HOLY
IMAGE.
We are to Him like the shorter length to the
greater length in the Golden Ratio.
This, then, is why… if indeed you’re
willing, like me, to see deep significance in ϕ symmetry in the relation of the various capitols
of the long lasting Greco-Roman Empire, the ‘Hand of God’, so to
speak, at work in either purposely permitting or else purposely engendering
their positions in relation one to another… the golden mean, ϕ,
appears geometrically & trigonometrically in the two different sets of
capitols considered.
Meaning?
If the larger pair of triangular sides of the
Greco-Roman Empire’s nearly linear set of capitols is very close, but not
quite, the golden ratio, then what does this signify? It is the 6th head
of an Oceanic Beast, utterly sold out to traditional paganism prior to
conversion to God’s One True Religion. Does it not make sense, then, as
humanity --- exemplified numerically in six, and having rebelled in the Garden
of Paradise with Original Sin --- deformed itself with subservience to
the First Rebel, Lucifer, that Ancient Dragon, the sixth head’s first set
of terrestrial capitols is also ‘deformed’, as it were,
slightly, from golden ratio perfection? Even more so when we examine the
shorter sides in relation, which, whilst still coming near to ϕ,
falls yet further astray from the precise mean.
Then, having converted to God’s One &
Only Roman Catholicism, does it not make sense that, symbolically… much
like the Golden Ratio Perfection of the Great Pyramid in the right triangles
incorporated into its pyramidal symmetry… the trigonometric western right
triangle made via bisecting the later three capitol triangularity,
incorporating the capitol of the Holy Roman Empire founded on Roman
Catholicity, would, in its sine (ratio
of opposite side length to hypotenusal length) become nearly, or perfectly,
a Golden Mean Uniqueness? Symbolizing how God has corrected our
deformity? Wherefore, ‘six’ once again has hope of joining
with, and becoming, ‘seven’. Nevertheless, only
in submission & obedience to Him in Roman Catholicity.
Getting it?
This submission & obedience includes, above
all, honoring His Mother.

most after God.

His Eleven Apostles --- the twelfth having been Judas Iscariot, who betrayed
Him and murdered his own self in despair], Jesus shewed [showed] himself again to the disciples
at the sea of Tiberias [Sea of Galilee,
in eastern Palestine, along the Jordan River]. And he
shewed himself after this manner [in this
way]. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, who is called
Didymus, and Nathanael, who was of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee [James the Greater and his brother, John the
Evangelist], and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter saith [says] to them: ‘I go a fishing [I will go fish, since we don’t know
when Jesus will next appear].’ They say to him: ‘We also come
with thee [you].’ And they went
forth, and entered into the ship: and that night they caught nothing. But when
the morning was come, Jesus stood on the shore: yet the disciples knew not that
it was Jesus. [They didn’t
recognize Him from such a long distance.] Jesus therefore said to them:
‘Children, have you any meat? [Have
you caught anything at all yet to eat?]’ They answered him:
‘No.’ He saith to them: ‘Cast the net on the right side of
the ship, and you shall find [plenty of
fish].’ They cast therefore; and now they were not able to draw it,
for the multitude of fishes [they
couldn’t even pull the net in due to the huge amount of fish]. That
disciple therefore whom Jesus loved [
It is customary for good Roman Catholics to pray
the Rosary daily. We do this to venerate & honor God’s Mother, the
first half of the Hail Mary straight from the Bible itself, being the words of
St. Gabriel the Archangel & St. Elizabeth, Mary’s relative, to Her
blended together, as inspired inerrantly by the Holy Ghost, written by St.
Luke’s hand in his Gospel. The latter half of the Hail Mary comes from
long, holy tradition, approved with Highest Authority by Christ’s
Representative on Earth, a real pope. Usually, though, we pray the Rosary in thirds
(yes, that number again!). There are mysteries to
contemplate as we pray, fifteen of them, each composed of an Our Father, ten
Hail Marys, and a Glory Be at the end of each mystery (plus the Fatima Prayer,
if the Catholic is wise & pious). But before we pray any mysteries, we say
the Apostle’s Creed, an Our Father, three Hail Marys (um hmm, that
number yet again!), and a Glory Be. The point?
Catholic monks & nuns, and good priests, pray the Divine Office daily. This
is Psalms completely --- all 150 chapters, plus some other prayers --- per
week, week to week, all year, year after year, until one dies, in the state of
grace (we pray!).
If prayed in the customary thirds… five
joyful mysteries on Mondays, Thursdays & Sundays during Advent, Christmas
& Epiphany, five sorrowful mysteries on Tuesdays, Fridays & Sundays
during Septuagesima & Lent, and, lastly, five glorious mysteries on
Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays during Easter & Pentecost up till
Advent again… Catholics pray 53 Hail Marys altogether in their daily
Rosary. Yet if prayed fully, in imitation of the Divine Office and its 150
Psalms every week, then Catholics pray altogether a total of 153
Hail Marys. Yes, the very same amount of fish
caught miraculously, as revealed to us in the Gospel of St.
John the Evangelist.
Mere chance? No wise Catholic can think so. This number is
special.
Do you recall us pointing out in Chapter 140 of
this book, Helplessly Ignorant, that
the number of 666 --- the Number of Humanity and the Number of the Oceanic
Beast --- is a ‘triangular number’? The 36th in
iteration, what’s more, 36 being 6² (6 squared, that is, 6 times 6). A lot of sixes,
eh? A triangular number, by the way, if you need reminding, is some sort
of regular shape --- such as round black dots --- put together symmetrically,
forming the shape of an equilateral triangle (a triangle with all sides & vertices fully equal & perfect).
Only certain distinct numbers of these shapes or objects succeed. Accordingly,
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, 66, 78, 91, 105, 120, 136, 153, 171, 190, 210, 231, 253,
276, 300, 325, 351, 378, 406, 435, 465, 496, 528, 561, 595, 630, 666… and
so forth and so on. Notice the 153?
Naturally. That’s why we highlighted it. It is
seventeenth in iteration. 53 is, incidentally, the 17th
in sequence of prime numbers --- the
number of Hail Marys Roman Catholics usually pray in
the customary & daily ‘third’ of a Rosary. (And, yes, I am aware
mathematicians normally call 53 the ‘16th’ in
sequence since they discount the number 1 and start with 2… whereas
I’m including 1 since it is, indubitably, divisible only by 1 and itself,
like any prime number, the number 1 simply fulfilling both
criteria in & of itself! Notwithstanding, 16 has implications, too ---
being the square of 4, 4 the number of perfection, thus 16 a ‘perfection of
perfections’.) And, furthermore, note that there are
15 mysteries completely, 15 the fifth iteration of triangular numbers. And, oh, the 10 Hail Marys for each
mystery? The fourth in triangular number iterations --- 10 Hail Marys times 15 mysteries equaling
the 150 Scriptural Psalms, which Catholics pray to imitate the Divine Office,
also called a Davidic ‘Psaltery’. Psaltery,
because it is 150 Psalms being chanted or prayed. The
upshot? This is why a knowledgeable Catholic often calls the Rosary the
‘Marian Psaltery’. Because it imitates the Divine Office,
substituting simpler yet just-as-piously-intended Hail Marys
for each chapter, or chant, of the 150 Psalms. Yet why a
‘Rosary’? It’s meant to evoke a ‘chaplet’
or ‘crown’ of flowers woven together for a queen’s regal
head… in this case, the Queen of Highest Heaven, God’s Mother. A

+++ 154. Decimality? +++
(Or, How a Mere Base Ten May Rise Above Its
Baseness, Grasping the Truly Sublime, Act 1)
Now, we’ve grappled with decimality (pun
intended) before in this book.
How humanity may be signified as
‘six’ in relation to Divinity’s ‘Seven’, while,
at the same time, humanity is also indubitably ‘decimal’. That is,
based on ‘ten’. For a straight forward reason, too: because we have
ten fingers. Therefore, it’s pretty obvious to count in tens. Yes, other
cultures, ethnicities & civilizations have had other ways to count;
nonetheless, Base Ten --- counting in tens --- seems to have been most popular.
And, inarguably, our modern world is now
dominated by Base Ten Metric.
There is nothing wrong with this. It’s never
‘intrinsically sinful’, as wise Catholics put it, to count by tens.
It can be natural, easier & sensible. All the same, our ten fingers on our
flesh & blood hands can do good things, and do bad things. The same hands
that grasp for a sum of money in order to give it to someone in need (preferably as anonymous, preserving
one’s reward in Heaven as a Catholic dying in the state of grace),
can be exactly the same hands that grasp a gun to shoot someone dead in cold
blood. True, killing for the sake of a just war on the side of right is one
thing. Killing to gain iniquitous goals, venomous greed & diabolic revenge
is murder. And wrong.
Do you fathom? Our remarkable decimality can be
virtuous or wicked.
Virtuous when doing good,
especially as a real Roman Catholic.
Wicked when doing what is evil, whether Catholic
or not.
(But how much more evil when doing it as a Catholic!)
This is part of the mystery of ten, of taming its
evil.
E.g., in a passage we’ve seen before
(Chapter 95 of Helplessly Ignorant),
we read:
“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
exists as it did formerly], and shall come up [again] OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT, and go [return] into DESTRUCTION [hell]… And the TEN HORNS
which thou sawest, are TEN KINGS [very powerful nations], who have not
yet received a kingdom [don’t rule
the world right now as we speak, my beloved John, yet will exist and be very
powerful in your future], but shall receive power as kings ONE HOUR
AFTER THE BEAST [shortly after the
beast arises, seizing power over all the earth once again, these realms
will exist and be mighty]. These [very
powerful nations] have ONE DESIGN [a single purpose & single goal]: and their strength and power THEY
SHALL DELIVER TO THE BEAST [they will
use all their earthly power & authority on behalf of the beast, to
make this savage entity even stronger & more ‘invincible’].
These [earthly powers] SHALL FIGHT WITH THE LAMB [Mary’s Lamb of God, Jesus Christ,
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 this diabolic harlot or prostitute sits
as on a throne, ruling over them all], ARE PEOPLES, AND NATIONS, AND
TONGUES [all of humanity with all of
its ethnicities, realms & languages, all over the entire
earth].’” (Apocalypse 17:7-8c, 12-15 DRC)
Getting it? This is truly apocalyptic, truly
global, and truly evil. And it is apocalypse now… as I write and as you read… not ‘airy fairy’ far
in the future still, or ‘hypothetical’ and dubious as to how to
interpret it. That is to say, without pretending to understand it all ---
everything! --- we now have plenty to go on, starting to put it together. That is, beginning to comprehend. Our Lord
God Almighty spoke these things to us for
a reason… and not
uselessly, put in Sacred Scripture, an inscrutable puzzle.
And, as always, it’s a parable, for those
who have ears to hear.
The message?
You could get really ancient, remembering the
antediluvian [‘antediluvian’
means, in Catholic terms, alluding to Genesis, ‘oldest of times before
the Great Flood’] patriarchs, who were the rightful Popes & Kings
of the world until God washed the earth clean with the Global Deluge. For how
many antediluvian patriarchs were there? Right… TEN. To
wit (and using Catholic Douay Rheims Challoner
spelling, the ‘DRC’ for short), Adam, Seth, Henos,
Cainan, Malaleel, Jared, Henoch, Methusale, Lamech & Noe. (See, in the Bible, Genesis 5:1-31
& Luke 3:36d-38, for evidence of this decimality of our earliest
patriarchs.) By the way, St. Henoch [Enoch], is one
of two human beings Our Maker took away from the earth before he died. (See
Genesis 5:21-24 for proof of this. The prophet, St. Elias, is the other, see 4
Kings [2 Kings] 2:1-11 for testimony. If a real Catholic, review as well
Ecclesiasticus 44:16 & 48:1-10 for further demonstration. Protestants call
this book ‘apocryphal’, not wanting to think it’s scriptural.
While Catholics call it ‘deuterocanonical’, knowing full well
it’s Sacred Scripture.) The outcome? I doubt
it’s ‘chance’ we find decimality in our most ancient of
roots.
Or you could get less ancient --- yet still
really, really old --- recalling centuries immediately following upon the Great
Flood. Yes, that’s correct, the
Or we can get contemporary. We haven’t met
the final head of the Oceanic Beast yet. Seventh & last, we soon will.
Indeed, it’s all around us, right now, as I write. We will, though,
mention something ‘hidden’ while, at the same time, completely
obvious. That is, it’s ‘hidden’ in plain sight. You just have
to want to look, know what it is you’re actually looking at, and then
connect the dots, recognizing it as what Christ via John, Beloved Disciple, in
the Apocalypse is talking about. Accordingly, what are these “ten
horns” on the bizarre seven-headed ‘Sea Monster’…?
(Apocalypse 13:1, 17:7 DRC) Oceanic Beast is strange enough. That it has
‘seven heads’ is even stranger. But ‘ten horns’? If you have seven heads,
wouldn’t one horn per head or two horns per head make more
sense? Then you’d get a weird ‘Sea Monster’ with seven heads
and either seven or fourteen horns total. But TEN horns? That’s really bizarre! If
you’re trying to be ‘realistic’.
Ah, but we’re not… or are you? This is a parable.
Say again?
Christ via John is telling us a PARABLE.
For he or she who has eyes to see.
So, if you’ve got your eyes open,
your brain in gear, you’re living in modern times, the epoch of the
Great Apostasy, you’re truly Catholic (one of very few right now…)
and you’re attempting to connect the dots, with Heaven’s graces to
help you, having the wisdom to understand --- then what’s this all about?
What are the TEN
‘horns’?
+++ 155. Decimality? +++
(Or, How a Mere Base Ten May Rise Above Its
Baseness, Grasping the Truly Sublime, Act 2)
We’ve already learned in the chapters just
above, from the Apocalypse, that this nasty Oceanic Beast will try to make life
difficult for true followers of Christ (read:
those who are actually Roman Catholic)… and anyone of traditional
religion, clinging to the Law of Natural Reason… by making it
‘impossible’ (or at least
rather difficult…) to buy and sell without some sort of ‘mark’
or ‘character’ signifying the Oceanic Beast. We’ve as well
discussed this at length. Review recent previous chapters if you’re
having trouble comprehending this. Otherwise, stay calm, be logical, and absorb
the following:
What makes the world go ’round? A fallen world, that is.
Right! MONEY. It’s what we use to buy & sell.
Now, today’s world is Capitalist. Yes,
we’re Communist, too, or, leastwise, all of us ‘communized’
to some extent or other, but the ‘clash’ between Capitalist &
Communist was just a ‘side show’, a distraction for the
‘little people’, whilst the New World Order aficionados go step by
step, building their new ‘Tower of Babel’, disseminating the
Religion of Modernism globally (especially
via compulsory public education and whatever form of ‘media’
dominates at the moment), and ushering in a New Aeon of the Sun.
Freemasons and other occultists of the 1800s knew, astrologically speaking,
that the year AD 1881 was supremely significant to them, heralding this
Aeon’s arrival. Eccentric & legendary Freemason, Mr. Albert Pike, who
lived from 1809 to 1891, e.g., was keen about this sort of thing.
‘Aeon’ is from Greek --- hence the unique spelling --- and
originally meant ‘life’, ‘vital force’, ‘being’,
‘generation’ or ‘period of time’. In American English
we typically spell it as ‘eon’, which has come to mean, in most
people’s minds today, simply a ‘period of time’ or
‘epoch’, although usually a long amount of time. For the occultist,
it means something much more important. It means something huge &
earthshaking, a change in the world --- the cosmos! --- that
goes right down to the core of everything. It’s not hard, as a real
Catholic, to smell sulfur in this. To wit, that it’s really just satan masquerading as “an angel of light.” (1
Corinthians 11:14 DRC) A false light as bright & dazzling
as the sun. Ergo, New Aeon of the Sun.
The point is that Lucifer wins when he gets human
beings of corrupt flesh fixated upon, and inextricably attached to, the things
of this earth. Pleasure & fear drive us. A Catholic --- the real kind and not Novus Ordoist, the post-Vatican II type that still call
themselves ‘catholic’, but aren’t truly what they claim
to be, whether of the liberal, conservative or traditional variety, having
jettisoned one or more of Roman Catholicism’s Infallible Dogmas in its
original, correct & unchanging sense --- in striving to save his or her
immortal soul, battles these pleasures & fears unceasingly until he or she
dies, firm in never allowing them to be inordinate or unnatural. The saintly
Catholic surmounts them entirely, which is why he or she is saintly. For those
who are not Catholic, or Catholics striving but not yet saintly, these
pleasures & fears --- fixation upon
and inextricable attachment to (as it were) the things of earth --- are
what blind us and hinder us…
Which is why MONEY makes the world go ’round. It’s “mammon.”
(Luke 16:13)
That is to say, riches or
worldly attachment. For what do we desire in this world? It’s
pleasures. What do we fear in this world? Suffering and
death. So what do most of us struggle for most of our lives,
particularly in the part of the earth most modernized or most inundated with
wealth? Correct. We strive to get wealth and its pleasures, and,
correspondingly, strive to avoid suffering and death. It obsesses us.
It’s our ‘god’.
The New World Order powers-that-be know this.
Such persons know our corrupt & human natures very well. By such things
they lead us where they want us to go, like a donkey following a carrot dangled
in front of its eyes, or an ox prodded to pull the plow with sharp goads poking
at its hinder quarters & rear legs. This is why they have made the earth
Capitalist in the past five centuries. You can get really intellectual and say
multisyllabic words and lengthy dissertations to describe what Capitalism is,
but, penetrating the academic murk, let us sum it up (no pun intended) pithily:
Capitalism is money lent at interest and
money made by fiat.
Or, to put it another way, modern
governments declare something to be money with no real intrinsic value (it’s not backed up by
something real & truly valuable, like gold or silver, etc., etc.)
and modern bankers lend our money --- it’s not
theirs to begin with, recollect? (albeit,
yes, modern governments & corresponding central national banks can, with
fiat power, deposit newly made-up-out-nothing money as they see fit
nowadays…), since first we must deposit money that belongs to
us in their banks --- at interest (they give your money, and other fiat money, to other
people, demanding that such people borrowing it then give it all back by a
certain time plus additional money with it on top of the original amount
lent). Do you savvy? It’s a giant game of global proportions. Oh, to
be sure, you can be insanely wealthy in this modern world. But
if you can make money out of nothing and lend it at interest, who really rules the earth?
Right. Big bankers.
This is not ‘conspiracy theory’. This
is our reality. Study economics, dear soul.
The biggest
international bankers are at the top of the global roost.
And powerful modern governments happily cater to
them.
Maybe most modern leaders want to cater to the
wealthy & powerful international bankers. Yet even if some of them
don’t want to, it doesn’t much matter. They ‘have to’.
That is, if they want to survive. A wealthy & powerful
international banker simply says ‘no more loans’, or raises
interest rates way too high, or so forth and so on, and entire national
economies begin to collapse, along with the government that ‘rules’
this particular nation. Getting it? Money makes the world go ’round.
Feel a little dizzy? Ahhhh,
you’ll find your feet after awhile.
So, TEN horns? The parable here? Well, did you know
economists nowadays talk of ‘G10 currencies’? Oh, I know, the poor
average reader is going, “A G10 what…?” First, what’s a
‘currency’? That’s just semantics for ‘money’. Specifically, the type of money used in some nation or group of
nations that share a common currency. The
Getting the idea? See how it works? The ‘G10
currencies’ today are not strictly identical to those ten nations in 1962
that agreed to give the IMF the extra funds. Nevertheless, the concept is what
matters. He or she who has the wealth is he or she who has the power. G10
currency nations are the governments who really do make our world go
’round. Which is why, then, Jesus via
“And the TEN HORNS which thou sawest
[saw], are TEN KINGS [very powerful nations], who have not
yet received a kingdom [don’t rule
the world right now as we speak, my beloved John, yet will exist and be very
powerful in your future], but shall receive power as kings ONE HOUR
AFTER THE BEAST [shortly after the
beast arises, seizing power over all the earth once again, these realms will
exist and be mighty]. These [very
powerful nations] have ONE DESIGN [a single purpose & single goal]: and their strength and power THEY
SHALL DELIVER TO THE BEAST [they will
use all their earthly power & authority on behalf of the beast, to
make this savage entity even more ‘invincible’].” (Apocalypse 17:12-13 DRC)
This is precisely what we’ve seen in the
past five decades, my beloved soul. These powerful currency nations are,
indeed, the most modern in a modernized world. They additionally are, indeed,
most eager to make the rest of the world even more modern. I.e., make everybody
else reject the Law of Natural Reason, join the gargantuan project of the
Religion of Modernism and the New World Order to build a new ‘Tower of
Babel’ and a ‘New Aeon of the Sun’, self-deifying humanity,
as if we are our own ‘god’, controlling ‘evolution’ and
thus ‘evolving’ into ‘Homo Deus’, the
‘Man-God’, all of us moderns, ‘gods’ that we are, then
doing whatever they want us to do and decree it to be the new ‘right
thing to do’, in total opposition to the Law of Natural Reason. They loath real Roman Catholicism and everything smacking of the
traditionally religious. In fine:
They are diabolically possessed, hellbent
on grasping ‘godhood’, and savagely bestial when it
comes to anyone who dares to defy them… even those who are most
meek and merely humbly & courteously demur, not wanting to start a
‘fight’ with anyone.
It doesn’t matter. Either you bow to
worship, or else you ‘lose’.
Because they can make money
out of nothing, and they can lend at interest.
And the whole wide world --- all of earth --- is
now theirs, in the palms of their hands. They dare to invade the heavens (‘space’), sending people,
and especially probes, to the moon and other planets. They dream of ‘colonizing’
Mars and spreading humanity as far as we can conceive, throughout the universe.
They boast of eventually creating ‘artificial intelligence’, of
‘transferring our consciousness’ to a
neverending technological android or ‘engineering’ our flesh genetically
to be ‘immortal’. Perhaps, say they --- the most daring &
farseeing of their intellectuals or techies --- we’ll manipulate a
quantum multiverse ‘bubble froth’, calling forth new worlds of our
own. And maybe, the speculation goes (howbeit,
this is still pretty ‘out there’ for most of them…), we
transcendently master time, create our own selves in the past, proving humans,
pantheistically & paradoxically speaking, our own ‘makers’, our
own ‘gods’… overcoming all time & space, like Greco-Roman
heroes & gods of old, dining on ambrosia, with ethereal blood of ichor, all
golden & fragrant forever… boundless.
An enticing dream, eh? One may see its allure.
Way more pleasant than crucifixion.
But all Capitalist mingled with Communism. For
the New World Order, like Karl Marx himself decreed, are ‘dialectical
materialists’. There is no supernatural. Only the natural, with we, the
New Humanity, determined to make it unnatural. There is
thesis verses its antithesis, then synthesis --- a third way made out of
two ‘opposing’ forces. We see it realized in Communist China. At
first, back in 1949 when they went Communist, on through the ’50s,
’60s, and into the ’70s, they were simply good little Communists.
Oh, but, suddenly, our anti-Communist
The point is that Capitalism & Communism are
just two sides of the same coin from a New World Order perspective. Both bind
the earth together into one giant whole, with humanity no longer subservient to
an Old World Order based on the Law of Natural Reason or (may Lucifer and the Oceanic Beast and Modern Humanity forbid!) Catholicism. I jest, of course, but with gravity. This is
our reality today.
This is the Great Apostasy. As
in the days of St. Noe, so today.
Human beings have ten fingers. With them, like
the antediluvian patriarchs --- ten in number --- we could try to follow the
One True God in His One True Religion to grasp for immortality His Way, the
Decimality for truth &
good, or decimality for lie & evil… virtue or sin.
Which will it be? I am afraid, given true prophecy,
it’s the latter.
But the former will triumph in the end.
It’s true prophecy.
Because no one can
out-god God; He alone is the One.

I assume the well educated person knows something
about the history of the Greco-Roman Empire. I assume as well that most people
today, however well educated, are Modernist to some degree or another. As a
result, what they’re taught and what they’ll believe about this
Empire’s history is muddled, either avoiding or twisting the truth as
concerning its later history. For a very simple reason, too.
Because since when has a Modernist wanted to believe in Catholicism? And yet
the history of this Empire inescapably involves conversion to the Infallible
Truth of Catholicism.
This is not ‘popular’. Modernism inherently opposes Catholicism.
Or, put another way, Modernist people very much
believe religious things. It’s just that these religious things very much oppose what Roman
Catholicism dares to teach is true. Ergo, the two different religions will
clash. Ergo, too, it is not in the interest of most Modernist people to learn
about, or believe in, the Catholic part of Greco-Roman imperial history. If
true, then they’ve got a problem… don’t they? Namely:
So why don’t you become Catholic? Don’t you see the
blatant miracles?
And so the cycle of culpable ignorance &
outright denial begins.
Delightfully (for a real Catholic), we’ve
evidence of Catholicism spreading all over the Empire while Rome ruled, from
the very first century AD, from highest to lowest. It’s in Sacred
Scripture, Sacred Tradition, the Roman Martyrology, various accounts of the
lives of the saints --- particularly those who were martyrs, or near-martyrs,
before Christianity (read: Roman
Catholicism Whole, Entire & Undefiled) was ‘legalized’
under Emperor Constantine, and so forth. Almost everyone in the Empire
immediately heard about… and, therefore, knew at least a little something
about, whether correct or not… God’s Roman
Catholicism, this supposedly ‘new’ religion that worshipped Jesus
Christ. Crucified persons being, always, horrible criminals, and
crucifixion a shockingly shameful thing --- not the ‘romanticized’
idea it’s become in the wake of these millennially old events --- then
most Romans thought Christianity absurd.
Not to mention Romans’ attachment to pagan
demon gods. Oh, and that tendency, for, leastwise, some of the Roman emperors
to ‘deify’ themselves, expecting all denizens of the Empire to
comply, including Catholics. A good Catholic’s refusal to do so ---
despite being wonderful & obedient subjects of the Greco-Roman Empire
otherwise --- made them automatically ‘suspect’. Of
what? Why, treason and disobedience.
So, problematic? You bet. For Christians, it meant occasional
& horrific persecution. Whilst for pagans, it meant Christianity constantly
spreading like a ‘plague’, seemingly unstoppable, in spite of all
their best efforts to stifle it. And, naturally, the astonishing miracles the
Triune God of the Catholic Church sometimes did on behalf of His holy martyrs
not only routinely incensed the magistrate, tribune, governor, emperor or
what-have-you overseeing the martyr’s punishment, it additionally caused
cruel persecutions to backfire on the specific pagan Roman official involved,
he helplessly raging as more and more pagan occupants of the Empire very
sensibly converted to Roman Catholicism in response to these jawdropping
miracles. There are too many by far to name; you, my beloved soul, are going to
have to do some perusing and research on your own to discover what I’m
talking about. Only beware --- all Modernist or modernized summations will either ignore, doubt or outright mock the many miracles.
Again, it’s not in their
interest to admit the truth about Catholicism.
(Although, tip: peruse the Roman Martyrology or Blessed
Jacobus’ Golden
Readings of the Saints --- more commonly, and misleadingly, called his Golden Legend of the Saints, the
word ‘legend’ nowadays implying ‘myth’,
‘distortion’, or ‘falsehood’, despite
‘legend’ merely coming straight from Latin ‘legere’, meaning ‘to read’… ergo why
it’s better translating
Jacobus’ learned & scholarly work as Golden Readings
of the Saints.)
But we’ll jump to a climactic moment. The conversion of the Emperor Constantine himself. He had a
Catholic mother, and a pagan father. (Someone
in ancient times claims his father was a ‘secret’ Christian and
only ‘pretended’ to be pagan, yet this is dubious, as well as
implying he denied Christ to do so, something no decent & brave Catholic
would ever do!) The paganism of his father apparently won out in
influencing young
Who do you think won? Hint… it wasn’t
the powerful & threatening.
Oh, by the way, per the Blessed Jacobus mentioned above --- who wrote The Golden Readings of the Saints, possibly the most popular book
after the Bible for a time near the close of a medieval & Catholic Europe
--- there was actually one emperor, before intrepid Constantine, who became
Catholic. Unfortunately, the Empire wasn’t quite ready for this, and, one of his most daring & successful generals,
Decius, coveting Roman imperial rule, chose to revolt, capturing &
murdering this first of Catholic emperors, doing the same to his poor son a
little later on, who was also Catholic and would have become the next emperor
after his father… had he survived. Yet another indicator of how
influential Catholicism had waxed by the middle of the third century after
Jesus Christ.
(The emperor’s name was Philip, his son
bearing the same name, and other ancient sources tell us the same thing about
them. To wit, that they were Catholic. However, modern scholars, naturally,
throw cold water on the idea and think it nonsense.)
Yet how did
Emperor Diocletian, who ruled the Greco-Roman
Empire from AD 284 to 305, succeeded to the imperial throne after the death of
Emperor Carus. In order to better stabilize the realm
--- which had been through much upheaval and several crises --- he decided to
appoint his fellow military officer, Maximian, as
‘co-emperor’. A while later, Diocletian further delegated authority
to Galerius & Constantius, making them
‘junior co-emperors’, so to speak. This then made the Empire into a
‘tetrarchy’ or ‘rule of four’ (yet another Greek-derived term!). Too, it demonstrates again how
great empires are not ever & constantly ‘centralized’ or always
dominated by just one mighty & ‘absolute’ leader. Then what
happened? The Constantius named above as a
‘junior co-emperor’ was
Diocletian desperately tried to stamp out
Catholicism with the tenth & final brutal persecution that we remarked upon
above. Sadly, for him, his tetrarchy was flawed, everyone not quite trusting
their other tetrarch peers, and Galerius was ‘semi-barbarian’ from
the others’ point of view. Diocletian resigned in AD 305, followed quickly
by his first ‘co-emperor’, Maximian,
although at least one ancient source asserts that savage Galerius
‘forced’ a sick & weakened Diocletian to do so, thereby
implying, also, that Maximian might have felt a
similar pressure to do likewise, bullied by Galerius. Whichever, Constantius dying, his troops unanimously followed
The tyrant & profligate son of Maximian, Maxentius, taking his
father’s place, savage Galerius defied both Constantine & Maxentius, declaring his nephews, Maximinus
Daia & Severus, successors of Maximian
& Constantius, respectively. This then set the
Empire up for civil war, chaotic horrors afflicting many different imperial
peoples of all kinds, although especially the already much brutalized Catholics
(who had been suffering horribly from
Diocletian prior to this, you’ll remember). Maxentius
rebelled against Galerius, Severus failing in subduing him (Severus’ army essentially defected to the defiant Maxentius). Meanwhile, the savage Galerius continued
Diocletian’s hideous persecution of Christians in the portion of the
Empire that he had directly under his control, elevating a man named Licinius to imperial power along the way. He, i.e., Licinius, remained in some position of power until AD 324,
cooperating with the ultimately preeminent
Interestingly, the Roman Tetrarchy emphasized
paganistically its parallels with the twinned dynasties of the gods Jupiter
& Hercules. Prior to his conversion to Catholicism,
Truly. But how on earth did this rather sudden &
unlooked for conversion transpire?
As Constantine dispatched with his nasty or
unhinged ‘co-emperors’ one by one, he turned his sights on the
capitol of the Greco-Roman Empire at this time, Rome. Making his way south down
Italy, methodically beating armies outnumbering his army greatly, he came to
the capitol and found Maxentius had destroyed all
bridges across the Tiber River, the fluvial course running north of the main
part of the ancient city... except for one. Our hero prepared to center his
attack at this spot --- the ‘Ponte Milvio’, or ‘Milvian Bridge’, which Maxentius
thought would hem Constantine whilst still having what is, relatively speaking,
an ‘easy’ way for his defending army to cross the river should he
decide to. Constantine’s foe --- the aforementioned Maxentius,

being an unusual strategy, given that it made much more sense for Maxentius to just ‘hole up’ behind the strong
city walls, enduring a long siege (and
which he had done successfully already, twice, with other recent enemies & battles
at Rome…). Why this strange tactic? Mayhap the reader is skeptical of
supernatural influence. Accordingly, the Triune God of His Singular Roman

to be ‘materialist’ (philosophically
speaking) and ‘logical’ (supposedly),

Some claim that Emperor Constantine waited until
his deathbed, much later in life, to receive baptism. My research makes this
appear dubious, and even slanderous. Yes, it’s true, many people during
the first few centuries of Christianity waited until just before death to be
baptized sacramentally in the revivifying water. For many, if not most, this
was wicked, they merely wanting to sin with abandon and then, right before
death --- supposedly --- just barely make it into Heaven with baptism on their
deathbed, free miraculously from mortal sin’s hellish grip, dying prior
to sinning mortally again. Actually, this is self-deceiving. Baptized this way,
your intention after baptism is nonetheless mortally sinful and, even if a
valid baptism, you’re going to hellfire, regardless. For a few, though,
this may have been sincere, they really and truly attempting to avoid hell by
delaying water baptism in a bid to not sin after the sacramental waters have
been applied. An awful gamble, though. Perilous.
I am firmly convinced that Emperor Constantine
was not such a man.
And certainly his conversion, along with
legalization & support of the One, Holy, Roman,

Do not be silly, or fooled --- or prejudiced. We
do not pretend here.
I.e., I am under no misconceptions that the
Greco-Roman Empire became Catholic and… boom!...
everything & everyone all of the time was perfect, and a perfect angel.
This is a real story, real history, we’re talking about here. Not
fantasy. Becoming Roman Catholic and receiving the Sacrament of Baptism does not
make everybody who does so, just like that, magically, into a perfect saint. It
merely gives you the Infallible Truth Whole & Entire (as if that were a ‘merely’!), and the Sole Means to
Save Your Soul. Toward invaluable, infallible & priceless salvation lies an
abyss of temptation in the way. Accordingly, you’ve gotta work hard to
fight the good fight, religiously speaking. Salvation is not a cinch; satan does not meekly melt away. Temptations will arise: perfection of Catholicity and one’s soul is never achieved without a spiritual war. Honestly and in
reality, with no fairy tales, most Catholics can be very wicked.
Embarrassingly &
shamefully so. Enough to make you cringe.
We must battle spiritually against our own
bodies, an evil world & demons.
For if you want the truth, then truth it is. Most real Catholics, most of the time, are wicked. That’s the truth. Some
real Catholics, some of the time, are most hideously &
flabbergastingly wicked. The point, then, is not to stupidly
think that we’re pretending this is not so. To say that the
Greco-Roman Empire became totally & thoroughly the Roman Catholic Jewel
they were meant to be, from all of eternity, is to say that He, Almighty
Creator, took the upper hand. He always could have --- He simply didn’t
choose to do so until it was the right time. And it’s God who
determines this time. Comprehend? We don’t command God. He commands us. I can
beseech & pray. Howsoever, it’s up to Him to decide when, and how, He
acts. And, being the utter Omniscient Being that He is, then He,
outside of all time and space or any created dimension, from All of Eternity,
within His Divine Thoughts & Intellect, has… as it were…
‘known’ (the past tense of
‘known’ here is not really accurate since we’re
talking about an Uncreated Being Who created time and is outside
of time --- so what can we possibly mean by saying He knew ‘before’
time began?) when &
what He’s going to accomplish in our human history and human
thoughts, words or actions.
Period --- yet back to more nitty gritty details
regarding the Greco-Roman Empire.
So Rome officially began converting to the
Catholic Faith with Emperor Constantine’s ‘legalization’ of
Christianity near the beginning of the AD 300s (I put the ‘legalization’ in apostrophic quotes as if it
were truly ‘illegal’ to be Catholic just because the Empire
didn’t like Christianity and had made it officially
‘illegal’… as if they had ‘authority’ to defy the
command of the One True Triune God of His One True Roman Catholic Church
that everyone become Catholic!). The quality of catechumens
immediately went down --- those studying, presumably in earnest, to become
members of God’s Church, eventually, via the Sacrament of Baptism --- per
Catholics of that time. (After all…
now you aren’t risking reputation, job, wealth, life & limb simply to
be what God tells you to be… and now, as a good Catholic then observed,
many ‘converts’ were using a conversion to Roman Catholicity in
order to climb the earthly ladder of riches, power, prestige & advancement
in the imperial government, or etc.) Which is probably why God let
Catholicism experience its worst affliction prior to our own Great Apostasy,
the malevolent Arian Heresy, which up to 90% of the bishops then, and at least
half the Church’s membership, embraced. God punishes & disciplines
those He loves, recall? (Hebrews 12:5-6) Although, let us not forget, how Rome
was already converting to the Catholic Faith in droves, from top to
bottom, well before Constantine ‘legalized’ the True Religion, even
as early as the first century AD, as many of Jesus’ Twelve Apostles were
still alive, spreading Catholicism like a mellifluous rose everywhere they
traveled, the Holy Ghost directing their steps. By the end of the fifth
century, this conversion was essentially complete. Yes, the west half of
the Greco-Roman Empire fell to invading barbarian hordes by AD 476 (a few decades prior to this, in a sense,
since the last few emperors of the west were but ‘puppets’ of these
barbarians’ kings or leaders). Yet the Papacy endured unscathed, and,
in time --- although many if not most of these barbarians first dallied with
Arianism --- these invading barbarians settled down, became civilized, and
converted to the Roman Catholic Church. Hence why, in AD 610, the pope then
dedicated the formerly pagan & massive architectural structure, the
Pantheon, to the Roman Catholic Faith, to the Blessed Virgin Mary & All Her
Holy Martyrs, making it into a church, a sanctuary of the One True Religion. Meanwhile, the eastern half of the Greco-Roman Empire (where the lovely language of Greek
dominated, by the way), was reaching its apotheosis at the same time,
becoming as large & powerful as it would ever be. Historians usually
call it the ‘Byzantine Empire’, but it is really & truly a
perfect & unbroken continuation of the Greco-Roman Empire, one that
did not finally & utterly crash to the ground, defeated, until
Constantinople, its capitol, fell to the Muslims in 1453. Pretty
impressive, eh? Think about it… this Greco-Roman Empire existed
less than, literally, six centuries ago. Humbled and whittled down, true ---
but the identical realm, in continuity, as existed 1700 years ago, when
Constantine the Great assumed the imperial throne, the son of a saintly Greek mother,
Helena, stunning everybody with the ‘legalization’ of a once much
persecuted & despised Roman Catholicism. My. How things can change. For great good, and for great bad. Over time, that is.
Yes, indeed, conversion of all
Yet whether or not you, dearest reader, wish to
believe this, we go on.
With or without the Greco-Roman Empire at its
height of power & territory, the Catholicism it cradled in the first few
centuries of real Christianity (read: the
Roman Catholic Church!) spread continually, the Papacy & Church
continually endeavoring to fulfill their Lord’s Command that they should
proselytize the entire earth. Popular to say nowadays?
That is to say, ‘proselytize’? No way. The Religion of Modernism
and New World Order authorities condemn ‘proselytism’ with a
vengeance, turning it into the ‘dirty’ word people think it is
today, as if proselytizing for the True Religion means Catholics
‘force’ others to become ‘catholic’. Or, leastwise, are
somehow being very ‘disrespectful’ to someone by trying to convince
them to be Catholic. When, in reality, the Catholic Church forbids
forced conversions! Forced conversions --- the term ‘forced’
comprehended correctly --- aren’t even real conversions. This is because any human with adequate
intelligence & free will must both intelligently & freely
choose to enter Our Maker’s Singular Church of Roman Catholicism.
Hence, yet another proof of how Vatican II, that incredibly wicked & false
Pseudo-Council, betrayed the Church and turned against
God’s Catholicism, talking as if the ‘dignity’ of human
beings made it now ‘bad’ to proselytize people for the Religion of
Rome. As if earlier Catholics, for centuries on end, had been
‘idiots’ to think otherwise. And then, suddenly,
‘catholics’ of the 20th century finally, millennia
later, got it right, realizing how stupidly & horribly ‘wrong’
Catholics had been, trying to proselytize
the entire world for Roman Catholicism. When, in fact, proselytism ---
comprehended correctly --- is an act
of supreme love, the Church granting everyone everywhere the opportunity to save their priceless immortal souls.
For have you not read in the Gospels what Christ
ordered His Church to do?
“And he [Jesus]
said to them: ‘Go ye [all of you]
into the WHOLE WORLD,
and PREACH THE GOSPEL [Roman Catholic Whole, Entire &
Undefiled!] to EVERY CREATURE. He that believeth
[believes] and is baptized, SHALL BE SAVED: but he that believeth not
[refuses to believe in Jesus’ Roman Catholic Faith Whole & Entire, or
refuses to seek for it] SHALL BE CONDEMNED.’” (Mark
16:15-16 DRC)
And we see as well the God-Man, Jesus Christ,
authoritatively telling us:
“And Jesus coming,
spoke to them, saying: ‘All power is given to me in heaven
and in [on] earth. Going
therefore, TEACH ye [every one of you, especially the leaders of
My Ecclesial Body] ALL NATIONS;
BAPTIZING them in the name of the FATHER,
and of the SON, and of the HOLY GHOST. Teaching them to observe [believe & obey the Roman
Religion Whole, Entire & Undefiled!] ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I have COMMANDED
YOU: and behold [look] I am with you all days [always everywhere], even to
the consummation of the world [until this old & corrupt world ends,
I the Christ then returning to rule directly and do away with anything
corrupt & evil, remaking creation into something new & perfect].’”
(Matthew 28:18-20 DRC)

(God’s Just Intonation Vs.
Satan’s Syntonic Comma, Part 2)
Getting the idea? Proselytism is NOT
‘bad’; it is COMMANDED.
Roman Catholicism that does not seek to
evangelize the whole world and convert everyone to the One True Religion of
Jesus Christ is an oxymoron… a
contradiction in terms. In the meantime, Modernists --- people today who believe in the teachings of
the Religion of Modernism --- prove themselves to be hypocrites. For
what they claim is ‘bad’ or ‘horrible’ for real
Catholics to do (proselytize!), they
themselves brazenly & shamelessly have done all over the world
in the past few centuries (i.e.,
proselytize!), trying to make the entire
earth into converts to, and adherents of, their Religion of Modernism, worshipping
the Oceanic Beast in their New World Order Church.
It’s not a matter of so-called
‘discrimination’. Rather, it’s a question of, “Who gets to discriminate?”
‘Discriminate’ only means ‘make a distinction between two or
more different things’. Modernists have made this into a
‘dirty’ word, too. When again, in reality, the real point
is, “Do Modernists get to
discriminate, or do Catholics get to discriminate?” Everybody
makes a distinction between things, determining what is correct and what
is erroneous, what is true and what is false, what is right… and,
unavoidably, what is wrong. So does Modernism
and a New World Order get to pontificate to us the rules of true
& false or right & wrong, or does Catholicism, necessarily
involving an Old World Order, get to pontificate to us about these overwhelmingly
important things, the rules of true & false or right & wrong?
Getting it now, dear soul? That’s the real question and the real battle going on.
When you study the Apocalypse carefully, we note
how, in explaining to Christ’s Beloved Disciple, St. John the Evangelist,
the meaning of the mystery of this beast, which includes understanding the
parable being told under the guise of the Oceanic Monster, the angel [that is, ‘messenger’, the
derivation from Greek of the word, in English, of ‘angel’]
states to him the following intriguing & crucial detail:
“And the beast which was [used to be], and [now] is not: the same
also is THE EIGHTH, and is of
[belongs to] THE SEVEN, and goeth [goes] into destruction [hell
forever].” (Apocalypse [Revelation] 17:11)
Curious? You ought to be. Particularly if you’re
truly Roman Catholic and living right now during our times, the Era of the
Great Apostasy. And there are two obvious things to remark upon immediately,
helping someone… such as you, my beloved reader… to see & hear
& understand the Parable being told to us through Jesus’ Beloved
Disciple.
The Oceanic Beast is mentioned constantly in the
last book of Sacred Scripture, the Apocalypse. We’ve also seen that this
bizarre entity has ‘seven heads’. We’ve noted that seven is
the Number of God par excellence, thereby signifying that this
‘beast’ defies the True God and tries to become Him --- yet without
Him and against Him. This is
plainly luciferian, the satanic animating ‘soul’ of this strange
‘Sea Monster’. It is simply the world of humanity deceived &
seduced, rejecting God’s Roman Catholicism with irrationality &
hatred, modern human beings ‘self deifying’ themselves.
Yet “the eighth”? What does that mean? How do we comprehend it?
Religiously & humanly, it means this
‘beast’ first appeared prior to the Great Flood, which
cleansed the earth of its filth, ‘baptizing’ humanity as it were,
leaving eight souls still alive upon the Ark of Salvation --- St.
Noe’s amazing Ship of Safety --- in order to repopulate the world. Viz.,
humanity before the Great Deluge became wanton, pagan, rebellious &
satanic. Only a tiny remnant survived God’s Wrath & Punishment. This
punishment destroyed the ‘beast’ of self-deifying humanity at that
point in time. Whereas, spiritually & supernaturally, it means this
‘beast’ is the Great Dragon, Rebellious Lucifer, it’s
animating ‘soul’, what makes it mobile & deadly.
Ergo, the ‘seven heads’ of this
Oceanic Beast are the succeeding Empires since the Deluge, that Lucifer has
striven to raise up in defiance of God & His Christ, always in reference to
the terrestrial ‘center’ of our spherical earth’s surface,
the Maw of Hell, as it were, moving in relation to this terrestrial
‘center’, and how God allows Lucifer and his rebellion to play out
in time, across human history. The pre-Deluge apostasy was truly global and
hideous. Therefore, while the successive ‘heads’ of the Oceanic
Beast are horrific, also, to some degree or another, they are not, any of them,
until the seventh, globally apostate and equally hideous. That is to say, the
seventh & last ‘head’ of the Oceanic Beast is the Luciferian
Sea Monster… humanity as a whole all over the earth… again becoming
as totally & completely wicked everywhere in the world as they can be; or,
at least, as totally & completely wicked as God will permit them to be so
as to carry out His Plan as He has conceived it from All of Eternity,
foreseeing our destiny and resolved to carry out His Purpose without
compromising our free wills.
Hence “the
eighth” being the same and belonging to “the seven”.
It is the same Lucifer & Dragon, it is the
same self-deifying humanity all over the terrestrial globe, once again --- just like we did before the Flood, rejecting
God & His True Religion utterly, as well as the Law of Natural Reason that
He has placed upon our hearts --- defying Our Uncreated Creator and
committing Apostasy on a worldwide scale. It is, so to speak, the inversion of
a holy octave. It is an unholy octave,
the last struggle of pure evil, falsehood & apostasy to triumph, to steal the
Throne of Almighty God.
Yet a now converted ‘sixth head’, the
Greco-Roman Empire, stood in the way. As the Christ died upon the Cross,
humiliated, proud Lucifer lost. Lost his supreme power over
the earth. Lost his stranglehold upon humanity.
Instead of constantly having the upper hand, he now was on the retreat.
Everywhere on earth, for centuries, his kingdom of diabolicism was forced to
scrap & grapple, losing ground and footage globally. He, “prince of
the power of this air,” (Ephesians 2:2 DRC) was, embarrassingly &
uncharacteristically, no longer so sure of his grip on unredeemed humanity.
Thus, whilst still powerful & deadly --- and
absolutely resolved to fight until the bitter end --- he was forced to contend
with a new reality. The Greco-Roman Empire, converted to Roman Catholicism, had
to go. He must destroy it before it destroyed him & his goal completely.
The ‘sixth head’ must now give way to the ‘seventh
head’. And this final struggle would be for keeps… either he wins utterly, or his Foe wins
utterly. It’s all or nothing. Jesus Christ, the God-Man, whipped him
on the Cross. In death, in ‘defeat’, Christ gave humanity the upper
hand over the Dragon. His Ecclesial Body, Roman Catholicism, begun in
Following the Law of Natural Reason well during
the New Testament always leads to Roman Catholicism. In the Roman Catholic
Church, fighting to be good Catholics, we can become what a musicologist could
term the ‘harmonic sixth’. The
Number of Man, made a little less than the angels and in Our
Creator’s Image, can be in harmony with God rather than in rebellion
against Him. Apparently, musicologists more typically call
‘harmonic sixth’ a ‘neutral sixth’. Without wishing to
befuddle or bore the poor reader, who I’ve already risked doing so with a
lot of ‘arcane’ matters (as
most of us probably see it, not being interested in or comprehending these
‘esoteric’ things…), I shall not go into excruciating
detail. We do remark, though, how there are three different ‘neutral
sixths’ in musical theory. One is ‘equal tempered’ (avoiding the ‘syntonic comma’
plaguing certain musical scales that get complex, ambitious or expansive),
and the second is the ‘undecimal neutral six’ (undecimal, since it seems, ‘irrational’ numbers creep in
when describing this particular ‘neutral six’; i.e., the numbers
past the decimal point in the fraction enumerating this musical interval go
perpetually on when expressed as a decimal --- Base Ten --- fraction). Last
we find what we call the ‘tridecimal neutral sixth’ (‘tridecimal’ since, it
seems, the numbers in decimal --- Base Ten, again --- past the decimal point
describing this musical interval as a fraction are only ‘three’
total, hence ‘rational’, not repeating forever and ever, ad
infinitum). It is the ‘tridecimal neutral sixth’, or
‘harmonic sixth’, we examine briefly, noting symbolism.
(Fair warning to the beloved
soul. Being
afflicted with ‘New Agers’, religiously, following upon the close
of the Vatican II Pseudo-Council in the mid-1960s, which continues to this day,
whether in the form of ‘hippies’ or ‘neo-hippies’ or
not, you can encounter a lot of mixed up people with silly & superstitious
notions rooted in the ancient practices of astrology or the occult, etc. Once
more I say that I cannot condone such silly superstitions or contemporary &
false forms of ‘astrology’ that teach as if the stars can
‘control’ human destiny or vitiate a human being’s free will,
and so forth. Nor is the occult to be swallowed whole --- even if you do dare
to investigate it --- as if any particular occultist could never be mistaken
about certain ‘hidden’ knowledge. Not to mention that these
occult-loving persons routinely poison ‘hidden’ knowledge with
sorcerous, demonic & false religious ideas. Thus, there are musical
theorists and musicians, understandably fascinated by the connections between
harmonics, mathematics, geometry or physics, nevertheless repulsed by the sheer
New Agey-ness indulged by such people, who often love to teach things that,
even if true, tend to elicit sneering or cold-shouldering reactions from these
musical theorists or musicians. My pardon to them.
I’m not trying to be ‘New Agey’; I only note how God makes
us.)
This ‘tridecimal neutral sixth’ or
‘harmonic sixth’ is represented by the fraction, 13/8. That is, if
you divide the number 8 into the number 13, you get a resulting Base Ten ratio
of 1.625. This is very close to the Golden Ratio or Mean of Phi (ϕ).
Remember, though, it is the ratio between audio frequencies that we’re
talking about here --- called a ‘musical interval’ --- and not
exact frequencies or numbers. The 13/8 fraction above is merely a convenient
fraction, in the Base Ten or ‘decimal’ counting system, to
represent this musical interval, called the ‘tridecimal neutral sixth’.
Decimality, of course, evokes humanity in the sense that God made us to be able
to grasp… and whether the things we grasp for & do are sinful or
virtuous. ‘Tri’ or ‘three’ evokes symbolically the
Trinitarian Nature of God Himself, Our Creator, as well as His Image, human
beings, who are very ‘trinitarian’ in nature, too (for instance, body, soul & spirit; the
fact we live from past through the present and into the future; or the
tripartite nature of His Roman Catholic Church, which we’re supposed to join,
which is composed, right now, of the Church Suffering, Militant &
Triumphant; and etc., etc.; not forgetting that the Holy Family subsisted of
three members, Father, Mother & Son, being the template for any real
terrestrial family of human beings and our guide, as Catholics, to joining
forever with the Heavenly Family of God Above, eternally Face-to-face with Him
in Celestial Marriage via the Hypostatic Union of the God-Man, Jesus, Eternally
Begotten of the Father). It would seem God has made music based upon the
Fibonacci Series or Golden Mean. Many musical theorists or musicians do not
know this, or are not willing to admit it,
nonetheless, it appears to me to be true. But first, what is a
‘sixth’ in terms of music? It means, in scales that use seven
notes or twelve notes and so on (called
the ‘diatonic’ & ‘chromatic’,
respectively, arguably the foundation of music in Western Civilization
in modern times…), there are six ‘notes’ or
‘pitches of a certain frequency’ between the couple of notes used
simultaneously to make the harmonic ‘interval’ being played,
counting inclusively, the ‘starting’ or ‘fundamental’
note included as a part of it all. (Understand…
this is referring to six notes that are NOT necessarily ‘whole
steps’ between notes. I.e., there can be ‘semitones’ between
some of these notes --- two, exactingly speaking, of them --- in a diatonic
scale, the chromatic built on this.)
+++ 159. How Did Harmonic Sixth Lose Its Harmony?
+++
(God’s Just Intonation Vs.
Satan’s Syntonic Comma, Part 3)
Following that so far? Good. A wee bit confused?
Don’t feel bad. Just slog on.
In Base Ten decimal terms, the ratio of
frequencies in the various kinds of ‘sixth intervals’ we can make in a variety
of chromatic-like scales (‘chromatic’
because it has so many more notes than other scales used in music, therefore
more ‘colorful’, what the term ‘chromatic’ means, and,
again, derived from Greek!) always come near to ϕ, the Golden Ratio. That is to say, somewhere
around 1.6, on up to, perhaps, 1.69 or 1.714. You’ll recollect that the
Golden Ratio, whilst ‘irrational’ (going on, on and on, with neverending unrepeated numbers after the decimal
point), can, with fairness, be represented as 1.618. To wit, further
accuracy is usually not necessary.
Now, in music, there are an infinite amount of
‘harmonics’ or ‘intervals’ that can be devised or
found. Pythagoras, that ancient Greek philosopher, studied musical tones with
mathematical rigor, discovering, curiously, how Our Maker had made both nature
itself and our minds to appreciate certain intervals or harmonics, which can be
expressed as nifty ‘ratios’ or ‘fractions’ of integers.
This is what I mean by saying that music, mathematics, geometry & physics
are connected. All of them deal with ratios.
Strange or odd? Only if you’ve not
thought about it before, deeply.
Significant? Undoubtedly, if you’ve
the eyes to see, fathoming.
The point? As I said, music and its intervals appear to be
linked, ultimately, to ϕ, the Golden Ratio, which in turn can be elicited
from, and is ensconced within, the Fibonacci Series (see Chapter 153 above again, if you don’t remember what
we’re talking about). A Fibonacci Series, if carried to infinity,
converges on the precise Golden Ratio of 1.618 --- although, we repeat, the
precise ratio is irrational and goes on forever without repeating. (No pun intended… well, not much.)
There is too much to explain and I’ve probably completely lost an average
reader. Just realize --- the Fibonacci Series can be seen, mathematically, in
terms of pairs of ratios. Indeed, as an ascending path of pairs of neverending
ratios. The further it goes, on and on and on, it converges upon ϕ.
End of sentence. Now apply it to music theory and
musical intervals.
All of the integer ratio intervals are found in
the Fibonacci Series, either directly or indirectly. Notwithstanding, as
you follow the Fibonacci Series, converging on Phi (ϕ), the Golden Ratio or Mean, then, expressed
decimally, you get closer and closer to 1.618 (albeit, carried out further and further in the unrepeating series of
numbers to the right of the decimal point). Got it? This ratio of Phi
can be seen as the ideal sixth interval. Thus,
‘harmonic sixth’. Remember how the Blessed Ever-Virgin Mary
is the perfect ideal of Almighty God’s Holy Image on earth?
Remember how Phi is built into our universe, indeed, into our very
bodies? It is also built into music and anything based upon frequencies.
And it all converges upon the ideal, perfect & harmonic sixth.
Symbolism? I think so. We are six. God is Seven.
We’re His Image. Mary is His Immaculate Image. We are to be like God. Our
Lady is perfectly like God. This is Roman Catholicism through & through. Ad Jesum
per Mariam. To Jesus
through Mary. Gold is a perfect substance, in that it will not corrupt,
combine or lessen from its innate perfection. Likewise God.
Likewise us, if we enter Catholicism and strive to die as
good Catholics. Doing so, and if needing further perfection, God
mercifully cleanses us in Purgatory. Resultantly, we become the Golden Mean in
body & soul. We look like Christ, like Immaculate Mary, in every way
possible. We are ϕ. We are 6 harmonically perfect.
God gave this shot at Golden Ratio perfection to
the Greco-Roman Empire, and, through them, to the whole wide world, everywhere
Western Civilization went, especially when it came to the ‘Era of
Discovery’ in the wake of Mr. Christopher Columbus. Europeans, rediscovering
the full extent of the earth, then spread their ways globally. This includes
Roman Catholicism. And if not Roman Catholic, some heretical or schismatic form
of God’s Singular Catholicism, under the guise of
‘christianity’, nonetheless preserving, extensively, portions of
our European Catholicism & Civilization. Oh, but recollect Lucifer’s
vile hatred of the Catholicized ‘sixth head’ of the Oceanic Beast?
Yes, in the meantime, he had been working to
pervert 6 from perfection.
Ergo, while his satanic kingdom underwent retreat
all over the earth, simultaneously, Catholicized Europe --- derived from a
converted Greco-Roman Empire --- underwent systematic attacks from a furious
Lucifer. These attacks often caused terrible evil
& sin. But by the 1300s, his efforts began to bear significant fruit.
Recall this? Yes, the Remort [Renaissance].
And, politically speaking, as the Byzantine Empire --- the Greco-Roman
Empire’s eastern half, in unbroken continuity --- sank slowly into decay
& schism, the Creator raised up saintly Charlemagne who, in conjunction
with a grateful Papacy, proceeded to officially sanction him as the head of a
‘revival’ of the Greco-Roman Empire, called the ‘Holy Roman
Empire’. Not utterly unbroken continuity in the strictest of senses, all
the same, with the unbroken continuity of the Papacy & Its Approval, the
next thing to it. This
Mere ‘coincidence’? I can’t think so. Catholics were being
bad, giving into satan’s innumerable temptations & incitings, God
eventually having to act, disciplining and scourging His Own, giving them
repeated chances to return to their senses in penance, reforming their
increasingly wicked ways so as to appease His Just Wrath and gain His Mercy
& Favor once more. This tug-of-war went back & forth for centuries.

Russia as the ‘Soviet Union’ (She
linked Her Visit with consecration of Russia to Her Immaculate Heart, Our Lord

‘errors’ through the world, with dire consequences for humanity).
Indubitably, the number six again. A ‘sixth head’, converted, and Six
Apparitions.
Once more, the point? To be golden ϕ, six must imitate Christ the God-Man, we
conquering ‘in this sign’, the Chi-Rho and the Cross of Light, like
mighty Constantine the Great. Converted from false religion, approaching Jesus
through Mary, the Golden Ratio personified, Immaculate, we must beat ourselves
into submission, our unruly & corrupt flesh, resist a world filled with
innumerable temptations to sin, do constant penance, appeasing God’s Just

to Him in our good works in Christ, offered through Mary, thus achieving what
seems to be the ‘impossible’ --- perfection and Heavenly Life.
God intends us to be the perfect ‘harmonic sixth’. He
intended the converted Greco-Roman Empire to be the perfect ‘harmonic
sixth’, in spite of knowing, from all eternity, how it would eventually
fail, depending on its own strength and worldly strategies. God provides both
it and us with His means of ‘just
intonation’. This is a musical term, an attempt by modern musicians
to make the chromatic scale work, ‘evening out’ the accumulating
dissonances as certain fractional notes or frequencies get further in frequency
distance from perfect ascent of the particular chromatic scale used.
The result? A ‘comma’. It’s called many names, ‘syntonic’ just one of them.
It’s the difference in fractional ratio of frequencies as notes in the
chromatic scale get further & further ‘off’ from a perfect
harmony. The difference is equal to the ratio of 81/80. This is equivalent, in
decimal, to 1.0125. It’s ‘barely’ off from the true tone or
‘one’. But enough to hear, and sound ‘out of tune’,
dissonant. Metaphorically speaking, Lucifer wants us to become ‘out of
tune’. His syntonic comma is
the incremental steps we take, as Catholic, to deviate from the perfect
harmonic sixth. Slowly but surely, as Catholics, we deviate more & more,
becoming less & less perfectly harmonic, resonating with Our Creator.
God’s ‘Just
Intonation’, so to speak, allows us to, in
Roman Catholicism, ‘temper’ ourselves, making ourselves resonant
harmonically with Him, imitating Him.
But always --- always! --- through
His Mother, Our Celestial Queen.
The ‘sixth head’ eventually fell. Six
always falls on its own.
Seeking our way, void of God, we will always
fail.
God gives us Roman Catholicism, His Singular
Religion, to attain to Heaven --- the Height of Heights, ruling with Him in
perfect resonance and harmony and obedience to Him --- to justify ourselves
through His Sacrifice as Christ upon the Cross… that lovely Symbol of Light…
and, through His Immaculate Mother, ϕ personified, we become a perfect harmonic sixth,
subsumed into Seven, the Χρ
(Chi-Rho), God in the Flesh.
Our ‘tone’ harmonizes and resonates
perfectly, like ϕ, like Mary, with Him.
We are justified --- and really & truly, not
‘fictionally’ --- and we live.
Forever, with Him, and with
Her. 2 threes
meeting at 4, 6 made 7.
The Octave Complete. Justly intoned. No
syntonic comma.

of Songs in Heaven sung forevermore.

A lot of stuff to cover. And we don’t have
time to write or read a history book. Nevertheless, I trust that the precious
soul, who is perusing this, either knows enough about history to know that what
I’ve said about the Greco-Roman Empire (and all of its repercussions) is correct, or else realizes what
I’m saying is based on real historical facts and not imaginary fiction.
In any case, we’ve one more bestial head to deal with. The seventh.
Yet first a quick question --- where to
draw a line for the end of the sixth?
To wit, when
did the Greco-Roman Empire, in whatever form, lose supremacy? Yes, it’s true, a few chapters back, I
spoke of the Greco-Roman Empire enduring for about 1800 years. This is ¼
of 7200 years, the span of humanity’s existence according to the
Martyrology, with
As always, history is messy. From a human
perspective, that is. Hence, it’s never easy drawing hard & fast
lines regarding when a mighty realm begins or ends, or when it’s the
biggest or most powerful it’s ever going to be, or when it’s passed
its point of pinnacle strength & influence. Even learned scholars can
endlessly argue about it.
And, remember, we’re talking about terrestrial
centrality. Lots of kingdoms, lots of empires, can exist all over the earth
at the same time. I haven’t said what I’ve said about the
‘heads’ of the Oceanic Beast while pretending these
‘heads’ are the only powers to rule during their time upon the
earth. I’ve only identified them to show their relevance from Heaven’s point of view,
and that the key to identifying them --- from Heaven’s perspective --- is
their relation to our earth’s surface’s ‘central’ position. That is, Mediterranean, in
the east, in
The place known as Calvary, and where God placed

Where the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil (Lucifer, the bearer of light) was at
Paradise’s middle, and where the Tree of Life (Mary, the Bearer of Light) was, too, at this precise middle of the
Greco-Roman supremacy… in whatever form (recollect that it started out as a
‘Greek Empire’ that soon became ‘tripartite’, then was
subsumed into a ‘Roman Empire’ which underwent many events &
transmogrifications, falling in the west whilst continuing in the east as the
‘Byzantine Empire’, the Papacy, meanwhile, sanctioning a
‘revival’ of a west imperial rule with the ‘Holy Roman Empire’,
and so forth and so on)… was embattled terribly by the AD 1300s.
Notwithstanding, it’s fair postulating that its supremacy did indeed
endure with the so-called ‘Spanish Empire’. (Please recall that there is a very authentic link of Catholic Spain
with the Holy Roman Empire, and that Spain was, indeed, a global power from the
1500s through to the 1700s, despite its loss of a European dominance by the
beginning of the 1700s, the connection being Spain’s monarch, Carlos
[Charles] I. This man briefly ruled the Holy Roman Empire under the title of
Karl [Charles] V, uniting, for a little bit, the more Germanic Holy Roman
Empire with the Empire that
Studious persons can quibble over what
constitutes an ‘empire’. I am fully aware there isn’t direct
& utter ‘continuity’ between ancient Greece & Rome of old
and the later
Once more, the upshot? In this sense, the
powerful Greco-Roman Empire endured, roughly, from the mid-fourth century BC
until the turn of the nineteenth century AD. This is a span of time of about
2150 years. That’s right… more than two millennia. Returning to the
chronology provided us (if a real
Catholic and willing to take it seriously) by the Roman Martyrology,
as given us on the date of Christmas, we, resultantly, may calculate a rule
that is 43 144ths of humanity’s existence.
Or, put another way, its reign is the fraction,
43/144, of 7200 years.
And while we’re not make-believing our
history has been exactly 7200 years (it’s
actually a tad longer at this point in time), it’s close enough to
use as a touchstone, as it were. In the meantime, 43 divided by 144 is a
peculiar ratio. 43 is a prime number (the
fifteenth, to be precise, if we buck contemporary mathematicians and
include 1 as the first of the prime number sequence) and we’ve
already encountered the unique ‘144’ (extremely factorial, if by ‘factorial’ we mean so many
different whole numbers are divisible into it, as well as profoundly
allegoric and the square of twelve, 12²). Additionally, we
may note 43 is barely beyond 42, which is 7 times 6, numbers extraordinaire of God
& Man. Fulfilled, as it were, with fifteenth’s fulfillment. Significant?

You see, when Jesus Christ --- God from All of Eternity, Everlastingly
Begotten of the Father, and Son of Man as Son of Mary from His Divine
Conception in Her Immaculate Womb, as well as the Legal Heir of a Neverending

Lucifer, the Great Dragon, had ruled this world in Original Sin due to King
& Pope St. Adam’s grave rebellion, instigated by his
unsuspecting wife, Queen St. Eve, deceived
by the Serpent’s subtlety.
Whereas before our father, Adam, had handed dominion
of the world over to him in grievous lack of caution and outright revolt, this
luciferian dominion was shattered with an ultimate Act of Humility &
Charity, Our Creator’s Offering of Himself in order to redeem… and
reconcile with… His Own Image, deformed though it was, iniquitous
humanity, making us ‘born again’ in the Sacrament of Baptism, and
now capable, incorporated into Our Lord’s Sacred Body, the Roman Catholic
Church, of fully overcoming our adversary & accuser, a Fallen Angel, with
Right Faith & Works. Comprehend? Prior to this gift, we had NO HOPE. With HIS PROMISE to our Patriarchical Ancestor in True Religion, St.
Abraham, we gain hope of a destiny CULMINATING
IN HEAVEN. But only with Our
Maker’s Incarnate Word.
Now a word
means something and says something. Otherwise,
what is a word for? You’re speaking gibberish. Does
God’s Word mean gibberish? Or do wicked human beings change the meaning, say
something contradicting His
Communication, thereby incurring His Wrath and our destruction? Recollect, we’re born into Original
Sin. We belong to Lucifer,
the former light bearer, who transforms
himself into an ‘angel of light’, unless --- and until --- we’re freed through the Incarnate
Word. Which then requires
us, with our divinely bestowed intelligent minds, to listen to this Word, understand
it correctly & wholly, and act in obedience
accordingly.
¿Comprende? There is no other way. Anything else is a lie.
Yet the Serpent is a liar. A really clever &
tricky one.
This is the poison of a snake, the fire of a
dragon.
Like getting burned? Prefer venomous death?
That makes you either an idiot, a simpleton, or a
stubborn rebel. Perhaps something of all three. Please pardon me for talking so
bluntly, dear soul. The times & situation demand it. I’ve only got
one shot. Similar to waking up a sleeping person in a burning house. Pleasant
speech & courteous forbearance tend to be ridiculous in this case.
If you can’t get the victim to wake up, or
understand, he or she is dead.
Of course, even when you clearly warn someone,
trying to save his or her life, this individual can refuse to listen, or not
actually understand, or --- comprehending well --- notwithstanding,
contumaciously fight God and deny what He says through His Word. To wit, His
One & Only Saving Catholic Religion, Whole & Entire & Undefiled.
After all, didn’t most or all Egyptian converts to Catholicism (possibly other ethnicities, too, with Egypt
being a mighty empire at this point, potentially having many different
ethnicities gathered into its great realm) during the Old Testament end up
being stubborn & bad, refusing to believe or obey in spite of seeing
God’s Wonders in Egypt, including His Presence manifest upon Mount Horeb,
fiery, perilous & unquenchable?
They certainly did. Study the Bible for clear
proof. E.g., Exodus 12:38,
where it says a “mixed multitude” left Egypt in the Exodus
of the Israelites, escaping their enslavement under the Pharaoh’s rule
and oppression of the Egyptians against them. Serious biblical scholars have
generally agreed --- that is to say,
those who, whether Catholic or not, at least treat scriptural testimony with
some respect, not axiomatically disbelieving and doubting everything it says
--- “mixed multitude” reveals how a small yet significant
minority of the people exiting Egypt were Egyptians, or other ethnicities
in Egypt, impressed with the astonishing miracles that the True God did in
humbling Egypt. Wherefore, they joined the Israelites, circumcised into the
Many human beings cease their unbelief when
confronted with obvious miracles upholding the Roman Catholic Faith. At least a
few, though, see His miracles with personal eyewitness… and still don’t want to obey.
It’s like the demons in hell. St. James, in his New Testament letter in
Sacred Scripture, notes how these fallen angels know very well the Triune God
of Roman Catholicism exists (James 2:18-20). However, knowing this, do they then obey what He commands?
They most surely do not. They’ve already made their fateful decision;
and this decision does not comport with God’s Manifest
Instructions. That is, in spite of knowing that the Truth is the Truth, they are still determined to disobey,
doing whatever they want in defiance of Our Creator & His Manifest
Will… which includes lying about
what God Infallibly Testifies to in His Singular Religion of Roman Catholicism
& the Roman Catholic Body of Jesus.
So what makes us, mere human beings, any
different? Granted, we’re given time in earthly life to seek &
obey what God commands --- yet is
this a guarantee that we’ll submit & obey? No, it’s
not. It’s a comforting fiction when you don’t see with your
personal eyes or senses what God occasionally miraculously does in this
life, but, perceiving as an eyewitness the wonders He does, does it make any difference?
Too often not. This is where the rubber meets the
road. As Jesus said:
“Because thou hast [you have] seen me, Thomas [Didymus, ‘the twin’], thou hast believed [you have believed the truth to be true]:
blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed [whoever believes correct testimony about me, despite not
seeing it with his or her own eyes & senses, trusting in
God’s Church].” (John 20:29b-e DRC)
It is the duty of every ROMAN CATHOLIC pope, bishop & priest to, without fail, KEEP & TELL this Testimony
constantly, WHOLE, ENTIRE &
UNDEFILED.
Did they loyally fulfill this duty at Vatican II,
from 1962 to 1965? No, they did not.
They adapted (read:
changed the ancient & original meaning of) Our
Maker’s infallible teachings, in His Singularly Saving Church ---
the Singular Ecclesial Body of Christ --- to the fallible & false
teachings of the Religion of Modernism. They were afraid of, or lusted
after, the new & defiant beliefs of modern human beings, pretending
to justify themselves as if they were only ‘rewording these teachings in another yet identical
approach’ which would cease to offend the ‘delicate,
oh-so-very-enlightened & excessively tender sensibilities’ of such easily
offended modern human beings. Resultantly, key players at Vatican II only
pretended to uphold
the Truth.
But did they? No, they did not.
Perchance self-styled ‘catholics’ encountering this Pseudo-Council
during the 1960s, and on into the ’70s & ’80s, really thought
they were maintaining the Catholic Religion Whole & Entire with Vatican II.
Such people claimed, with apparent sincerity, that the documents of
Vatican II, interpreted rightly, did not
defy or contradict the constant & unchangeable Deposit of Faith. This is immaterial. They may have been
‘sincere’, nevertheless, they were ‘sincerely
deluded’, either not reading the documents carefully, or else hellishly
blind to what the documents really said. Yet the evidence? Easy. What have been the ‘fruits’
of this Pseudo-Council? Right. Ever
increasing heresy, apostasy &
rebellion. Did not Our Lord warn us:
“By their fruits
you shall know them [what results
from what they have said or done is proof of what they really have
accomplished or intended]. Do men [humans]
gather [i.e., harvest] grapes of
thorns [from thorns] or figs of
thistles [from thistles]? …
Wherefore [which is why] by their fruits you shall know them
[by means of what they say & do, this results in evil & anti-Catholicity; it becomes blatant & obvious what the purpose actually was all along during a time of ambiguity & error].” (Matthew 7:20 DRC)
This is what Vatican II did. This is what Pope
Paul VI… that ‘VI’ or
‘Six’ being the Number of Man, interesting, isn’t it?...
did in officially & publicly promulgating the 16 damnable documents of the
novel Vatican II, thereby revealing himself --- notoriously &
pertinaciously --- to be the heretic, apostate & rebel he already
was, secretly, prior to his coming out into the open with this act of
promulgating damnable documents under the guise of ‘catholicity’
that has been ‘reworded’ or has undergone ‘aggiornamento’ (the Italian for ‘updating’, a commonly heard expression amongst the men
who were the primary ‘movers & shakers’ of this
Pseudo-Council). And once Paul VI revealed notoriously & pertinaciously his
apostasy, he, along with the Vatican II bishops, automatically suffered
excommunication, as required by Church’s Canon Law.
(Incidentally, go
here
for the irrefutable proof
of this necessary ecclesial rule.)
Yes, you read that right. Automatic
excommunication in Canon Law makes no ‘exceptions’ for high ranking
prelates, including the top man, a pope. Excommunications of this sort are automatic, period. It’s
already set up to go in Canon Law, God’s Catholic Church Herself, which
is the Singular Body of Christ, having His Authority, from the Divine Jesus, to
automatically excommunicate anyone
--- even a pope! --- if he or she reveals his or her self, in a notorious &
pertinacious way, publicly as an incontestable fact, in the ‘external
forum’ as theologians say, to
openly & repeatedly defy, deny or change but a single iota of the
Roman Catholic Church’s Infallible & Unchanging Dogmas. Again --- end
of sentence. Paul VI lost his
Catholicity and his Papacy.
Most, if not all, members of the Catholic Church
had lost their Catholicity.
This is how serious the situation was by the 20th
century, religiously.
God gave every human being 1900 years to
cooperate & convert.
Catholics themselves became sinful, negligent
& rebellious.
Repeated warnings or chastisements fell on mostly
deaf ears.
And with Vatican II, and Paul VI’s horrible
crime of failing to uphold God’s Roman Catholicity at a crucial moment in
our human history, the Maker let the second of three blows strike us --- the
loss of Roman Catholicism throughout the world, human hearts & minds
without Our Creator’s Gratuitous Graces and thus blind to their
misfortune. Nay, not merely blind, but ravenously hungry for every religious
falsehood we can devise & devour, including our self-deification. That is, “I myself am God. I can believe &
do whatever I want. I can make & form whatever I wish. I made & make
myself. Flabbergasting, isn’t it? Praise be to Me! All hail Homo
Deus!”
In striking us with the Amos Curse, God allowed
Peter’s Throne to be empty. We experience ‘inter regnum’, Latin for ‘between reigns’. (By the way, examine the book
Inter Regnum
for proof that this is no
fantasy. God has and can permit long papal ‘inter regnums’,
and He both has and can permit astounding confusion, for a time,
regarding exactly who is the pope at a particular time in Church
history. Case closed.) We also experience total assault from hell, with no Supreme Shepherd to protect us.
This is precisely what
“And we beseech you, brethren [my fellow Catholics], by the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him [Christ’s Second Advent, i.e., His
Return to earth in the future]: that you be not easily moved from your

he wants to do]. And then that wicked

precisely through anti-Catholic
antipopes fooling everyone into thinking they’re actually

Modernism dressed up with ‘catholic-sounding terminology’
--- pretending to be the same ‘roman catholic church’] whom the
Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth; and shall destroy with the
brightness of his coming, him [i.e.,
Lucifer and his ‘New Aeon of the Sun’, masquerading as ‘Angel
of Light’], whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders

‘stunning’ accomplishments --- such
as modern technology --- deceiving most of the people of this wicked
world into believing that a fully Modernized
earth is obviously & inarguably
the ‘right thing’ to believe in], and in all seduction
of iniquity to them that perish [go to
hell forever since they’re not Catholic and rebel against Our Creator];
because they receive not the love of
the truth, that they might be saved [they
hate Catholicism and refuse to obey God, saving their
souls in His One & Only
Roman Catholic Church]. Therefore God shall send them the OPERATION OF ERROR, TO BELIEVE LYING
[Jesus withdraws gratuitous graces, leaving humanity ensconced in religious falsehoods &
horrid sins, which results in everyone more & more calling what is sinful ‘good’, and what is good ‘bad’]: that ALL MAY BE JUDGED [condemned
to hell forever] WHO HAVE NOT BELIEVED THE TRUTH [God’s Roman Catholicism Whole, Entire
& Undefiled], BUT HAVE CONSENTED TO INIQUITY [viz., everyone who, during our modern
times, absolutely, resolutely & vehemently rejects His Singular Catholic Religion, instead fantasizing that hideous sins or
false beliefs are ‘okay’, ‘good’,
‘permissible’, etc.].” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-11 DRC)
Get it? This is not ‘evolution’, it
is REVOLUTION. Apostasy &
bold rebellion. ‘Aggiornamento’ --- the ‘updating’ of
Roman Catholicism with Vatican II --- was nothing except a French Revolution,
religiously speaking; a ‘counter syllabus’ in opposition to Pope
Pius IX’s much hated Syllabus of
Errors, which infuriated international Modernist leaders in AD 1864 for
daring to defy their efforts.
With Vatican II, a satanic Modernism appeared to
take over the Church.
Not really. But it looked that way. It

if avant garde, the global ‘theatre in the round’, if you will

it is the most wicked player of all, and that includes the ones ‘behind

Yet who is this wicked, satanic, hellish &
shockingly evil actor…?
The Apocalyptic
‘Terrestrial Beast’. For we may read at length:
“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 [we’ve already met this
monstrous entity --- the Oceanic Beast --- and been discussing it at much
length, however, we use this to preface and put into context the next one
we’ll meet]… And the dragon [Lucifer,
greatest of the fallen angels and Roman Catholicism’s most dangerous
enemy] gave him his own strength, and great power… And all the earth [global!] was in admiration after the
beast [amazed & awed at this
Modernist thing or phenomenon]. And they adored the dragon [came to regard Lucifer as if he’s
‘good’], which gave power to the beast: and they adored the
beast [came to worship Modernist humanity
as if we are our own ‘God’]… And there was given to him a
mouth speaking great things [really
impressive & profound-sounding stuff], and blasphemies [outright mockery of Roman Catholicism, the
Triune Catholic God, and anything to do with the One True Religion]…
And he opened his mouth unto blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name,
and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven [proof of the previous bracketed commentary]. And it was given unto
him to make war with the saints,
and to overcome them [gain control of the whole world and to seal
this victory with the Vatican II
Pseudo-Council, which brought the Religion of Modernism into the hallowed
halls of the Church --- as it were --- under
the guise of still being ‘roman catholicism’]. And
power was given him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation [global!]. And all that dwell upon the
earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb,
which was slain from the beginning of
the world [Christ’s Eternal
Sacrifice, that, while it has occurred in the temporal
world of earth in the first century, transcends
all time]. If any man have an ear, let him hear [if you care about God’s Saving Truth,
Catholicism, then listen up & strive to understand!]… AND I SAW ANOTHER BEAST COMING UP OUT
OF THE EARTH, AND HE HAD TWO HORNS, LIKE A LAMB, AND HE SPOKE LIKE
A DRAGON. And he executed all the power of the former beast in his
sight; and he caused the earth, and them
that dwell therein, to adore the first beast… And he did
great signs, so that he made also fire to come down from heaven unto the
earth in the sight of men. And he seduced them that dwell on the
earth, for the signs, which were given him to do in the sight of the beast,
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make the image of
the beast… And it was given him
to give life to the image of the beast, and that the image of the beast
should speak; and should cause, that whosoever will not adore [as
if ‘God’] the image of the beast, should be slain.”

Earth? +++
(Lucifer’s False
Prophet, Who Has Two Horns Like
a ‘Lamb’… But Talks Like a Dragon, Part 2)
As I’ve said before, if ever there was a
time to comprehend, that time is here & now. Jesus Christ did not have His Beloved Disciple,
St. John the Evangelist, write this last series of Divine Parables for nothing, to sit in Sacred
Scripture for centuries on end, never but never, oh, but never!, to be wholly,
properly or adequately understood.
So let us dig in, dining upon a celestially
prepared meal of sacred wisdom.
But all of it hidden, from
despisers of truth, under the veil of allegory.
First off, notice that the Terrestrial Beast (“beast
coming up out of the earth”) is like a representative of, or
instrument or mouthpiece on behalf of, the Oceanic
Beast (“beast coming up out
of the sea”). These are parables, and we’ve already established
how an Oceanic Beast is merely symbolism for all of humanity becoming irrational, not only defying
God’s True Religion of Catholicism, but even the Law of Natural Reason divinely inscribed
upon every human being’s heart who is adequately
intelligent.
They are ‘beasts’ because animals are
not as intelligent or rational as humans.
And to call an animal a ‘beast’ is to
clearly imply bestial predatorialism.
In other words, this creature is deadly. Really, really, really deadly.
Deadly, because it defies God’s Church,
Rationality & Salvation.
Now, some Modernists may be extremely
smart… yet irrational, nonetheless. Simply possessing intelligence is no
guarantee of using that intelligence rationally. As a matter of fact, the
Modernist --- even the smartest of them, very likely smarter than you or I ---
can be a master at using his or her intelligence to hide his or her bestial
irrationality, thereby pretending to be perfectly ‘reasonable’ in
holding to one’s Modernist ‘dogmas’ (read: things you don’t dare to oppose, let alone question or
doubt…) This is precisely the situation with the Terrestrial Beast.
It is a highly intelligent human being, or, rather, sequence of human
beings linked together in one single project (erecting a modern ‘
Yes, you read accurately. Someone who is either a
failing Bishop of Rome, either not sagacious enough or brave enough or
holy enough to face the threat to God’s Church & Papacy that he must
defend & extend; or a rebellious Roman Bishop, not truly Catholic in
his mind and heart while keeping this foul reality hidden away (‘occult’ is the theological
term and meaning of the word ‘occult’, i.e., ‘hidden’)
from the eyes of the world, or, at least, from his flock, those who are members
of Christ’s Catholic Body; or else a fake ‘Bishop of
Rome’, not truly Catholic, and
openly so, notoriously & pertinaciously!, notwithstanding, tricking the
world & ‘catholics’ (sometimes
even those few today actually Catholic…) into believing that he is
really the ‘pope’ and God’s man.
Which is exactly what
we’ve seen happen over the last many centuries.
We’ve had a great deal of failing popes,
men who are Catholic… yet not holy, brave or sagacious enough to do what
they should have done in order to face & destroy the threat breathing down
the neck of Christ’s Church & Christendom (read: truly Roman Catholic nations). We’ve also probably
had, at a bare minimum, a few rebellious popes, covering their lack of real
Catholicity with a veil of orthodox words & actions… yet still doing
harm to God’s Catholic Body, regardless of whether or not he’s
trying to. And, yes, unfortunately, since Vatican II, we’ve had fake
& phony ‘popes’, men playing on wickedness & ignorance so
as to fool others into thinking them ‘popes’.
Find this too hard to believe? Then review
Chapters 25 to 40.
In this book, Helplessly Ignorant. The evidence is there.
Of what ‘no Salvation outside the
Church’ has always
meant, understood in its perpetually unchanging, ancient,
original, infallible & narrow sense.
Review, too, Chapters 16 to 21, for evidence of Vatican
II’s denial of this
infallible Salvation Dogma in its unchanging & proper sense. Not to
mention, for good measure, review Chapters 49 to 69, for evidence that the
supposedly ‘conservative’ and ‘great & saintly’ John
Paul II not only happily took part in
the apostate Vatican II Pseudo-Council, praising
it unto the heavens constantly (thereby
notoriously & pertinaciously revealing his grievous apostasy right then & there), but also
plainly continued to tout his
most execrable salvation heresy in, for instance (and I mention only two
examples… yet there’s a cornucopia
I could cite!), at least one of his innumerable antipapal documents (Redemptoris missio, which we looked at in Chapters 49 to 69),
as well as his exceedingly popular --- with CNOs --- ‘Catechism of the
Catholic Church’.
Again, the evidence is there for he or she who
has the eyes to see… period.
But, then, you first have to WANT TO OPEN those mental eyes to see.
Up to the challenge? Or feeling kind of nauseous, angry or fearful?
I am indeed sorry. I don’t mean to sicken,
offend or terrify you.
That’s not my goal. I just want truth. And to tell it
straight.
What is it that YOU WANT,
my precious & beloved soul?
+++ 165. A Beast Out of the
Earth? +++
(Lucifer’s False
Prophet, Who Has Two Horns Like
a ‘Lamb’… But Talks Like a Dragon, Part 3)
If the truth, then realize --- the lengthy
annotated quote from the Apocalypse above, in Chapter 163, vividly tells us
that this Terrestrial Beast has “two horns, like a lamb…” So
what do Catholics call Jesus? Right, the Lamb
of God. Incidentally, the ‘two horns’ are
symbolic of His Two Natures --- Divine & Human --- joined together
hypostatically. Now,
How so? Because this “lamb”
speaks “like a dragon.”
And, in the Apocalypse, what’s this “dragon”? Correct. Lucifer, satan
himself, the old devil & ancient
serpent. Question: would Jesus Christ speak like a dragon?
Of course not! How could Our Creator have anything in common with His arrogantly
diabolic foe, who is a pathological liar?
God is the AUTHOR
OF TRUTH, not a liar like the
rebellious devil!
Consequently, what “lamb” is this?
Think hard. Jesus hasn’t returned to earth; He’s with His Father in
Heaven. So who represents Christ on earth while He’s in Heaven? Correct
again, my dear soul. A real
& legitimate Bishop of
A series of antipopes,
who, in the wake of spiritual blindness, lead us astray.
That is to say, they’re not just antipopes because
they’re not legitimately
elected, although Catholic despite
this problem. Rather, they’re antipopes because they are diabolically opposed to Roman Catholicism Whole, Entire & Undefiled,
and are purposely trying to
lead everyone astray, like a
dragon, against Christ…
Grasping this? It’s a prophecy hiding in
plain sight for centuries.
Right in Sacred Scripture itself, the parable
interpreted accurately, with which we’ve been warned by Jesus Christ
Himself, via His Beloved Disciple, what was to come.
To wit, eventually God, in response to wicked, lukewarm or phony Catholics,
would strike in a justifiable yet horrible way, letting nearly everyone on
earth to be led astray. A hellish blindness misleading even
those who ought to know better, Roman Catholics. Or, as stated
before… how could the Great
Apostasy transpire without such blindness?
Humanity --- including those supposed to be
Catholic --- had to become this blind, to start with, in order for this
kind of evil and confusion to transpire all over the earth. To think contrarily
is either to not think at all, or else to stubbornly refuse to admit
the truth. The truth that, in all honesty, human beings
really have become this bad. Bad enough to follow fake
‘catholics’. Bad enough to fantasize that
‘catholicism’ permits this. Viz., so wicked that, despite
denying the Truth, you imagine ‘catholicism’ to be on your
side.
The side of Modernism
and satanic evil. Beginning to grasp the implications?
E.g., prior to Vatican II, and right after
the close of World War II, it was unthinkable popes would cooperate
with the United Nations. The goal of countries erecting this new ‘global
cooperative’ was antithetical to a real & wise Catholicism.
Not because Catholics don’t want peace… rather, because wise
Catholics want peace in accordance with the principles of God’s Infallible
Truth. Which is Roman Catholic. Which
then means, unavoidably, the United Nations, with its founding charter, was not
in adequate accordance with Catholicism. To the contrary, the UN was
anti-Catholic.
So, who was the first ‘pope’ to address the NWO’s
United Nations?
In
Putting it all together, our
dear & precious reader? Still with me?
Alright, good. We’ll assume you haven’t bailed.
Upon the Feast of an ever humble St. Francis of Assisi, Paul VI decides to give
a public, ‘humble sounding’ & widely covered speech to the
premiere forum for internationalism, in New York City, Manhattan, at the United
Nations, in the General Assembly Hall. With pervasive media coverage, he, in a
mock ‘humble’ way, requests from the UN, as if asking for this
‘privilege’, “…that of serving you in so far as lies
within our competence, with disinterest, humility and love.” Say again? Paul VI is pleading to do what his very recent predecessor refused to do. He wants
to go along with the NWO (
He gave them his ‘blessing’, so to
speak, and signaled the cooperation of the ‘church’.
End of sentence. Fathoming this? Every antipope now eventually speaks to
the UN.
It’s no longer strange, odd or
unprecedented. They clearly love the United Nations.
(E.g., Antipope Francis officially spoke to them on Saturday, 15
September 2018.)
Bizarre, disconcerting? Only if ignorant, hence clueless as to
what’s going on.
Otherwise, it’s totally predictable,
The ‘church’ has made ‘peace’ with satan.
Hyperbole? Exaggeration? Only if ignorant or else loving the UN &
NWO.
The UN’s charter is plain. Long &
detailed but stark if you read it. Hint:
It subtly yet truly defies the heavenly goals of the Roman Catholic Church. Truly.
So why are ‘popes’ addressing its Assembly, in
public, recorded for posterity? And what’s the deal with a
sudden ‘friendliness’ toward this Modernist project,
established, supposedly, for the purpose of facilitating ‘peace’
between nations… but only if founded upon the Principles of
Modernism? How can wise ‘popes’ suddenly cooperate?
Easy. Because they’re not real ‘popes’ and they agree with Modernism.
That is to say, they’re all for the UN and
a NEW WORLD ORDER.
Savvy? It’s revolutionary. Up is now down
and down is now up.
You can try
to explain it away --- Vatican II and the
post-Vatican II leaders’ embracing of the United Nations and its
Point made. Francis is simply making blatant what
was more hidden before.
Which leads us to the “fire… from
heaven…”, seemingly ‘called
down’ by these dragonish antipopes. Recollect that? In
This Vatican II Revolution amazed both
‘catholics’ & others.
Suddenly, the ‘church’ is on the
modern world’s side.
This was almost totally unthinkable or
unimaginable prior to Vatican II. Neither most calling themselves Catholic nor
non-Catholics thought it likely or even possible for the ‘catholic
church’ to apparently come to ‘peaceful terms’ with what an
entire earth more & more was becoming --- let alone be a ‘cheerleader’ and support it! --- particularly the wealthiest, strongest & eagerly modern
part of the world. Then, bam! Out of the blue (perhaps we should say ‘out of the red’, coming from
below…) Vatican II occurs.
The ‘religious’ or
‘cultural’ or ‘civilizational’ war is over. Modernism ‘wins’.
This is the import of the Terrestrial
Beast encouraging the earth’s peoples to make an
‘image’ of the Oceanic Beast, the former then causing the image of
the latter to ‘speak’. In other words, the men everyone thinks are
‘popes’ --- post-Vatican II
antipopes, freed from the restraint of real popes ‘holding
back’ or ‘restraining’ the tsunami of Luciferian arrogance
& evil via their Heaven-endowed global spiritual authority ---
suddenly are most eager of all to engage this Modern project of human self-deification, under the façade of
‘self-realization’ & ‘personal dignity’. Familiar with that latter one, dear & beloved soul? Accordingly, ‘human
dignity’? If calling yourself ‘catholic’ and
at least ‘conservative’ in nature (i.e., a CNO or ‘conservative novus ordoist’, looking
& sounding like the ‘real thing’… but not),
then, absolutely, you know what I’m talking about. This ‘human
dignity’ has been a veritable totem phrase or ‘password’ for
post-Vatican II enthusiasts. Human ‘dignity’ and one’s ‘personal conscience’
trumps everything. Including Infallible Dogmas &
Commandments. We are our own
‘Gods’.
We believe & do as we wish, the Saving Truth
now ‘offensive’.
Getting it? Putting the picture together in your
head?
This is what post-Vatican II antipopes have
endorsed, building a New Tower of Babel and the New World Order along with the
NWO powers-that-be, putting their ‘seal of approval’ upon it and
crisscrossing the globe in order to cheerlead for it, they in this fashion,
along with plenty of antipapal statements & documents, etc., encouraging
Modernist Humanity to worship its own self --- the
Oceanic Beast --- and build a radically different civilization from the
one of old, defying the Law of Natural Reason inscribed upon our hearts,
especially the Old World Order, the one falling into place as founded
upon European Culture, Western Civilization & Roman Catholicism. This
New World Order… this new
civilization centered around ‘maximum freedom’ to disobey
God’s Law of Natural
Reason and His One True Religion of Catholicism…
is this Oceanic Beast’s ‘image’,
and antipopes cheerleading for it is its image ‘speaking’.
It’s been that way since Vatican II.
Earlier antipopes were simply more careful.
Cautious to not alarm people
too soon with talk that sounds too dragonish.
With Antipope Francis, though? Ah, now it’s
getting more blatant.
+++ 166. Blessed Are the Poor? +++
I don’t want to be alarmist. I don’t
want to be ‘overly dramatic’. I’ve no wish to use the tactics
exploited by cunning, revenue-stream-enhancing ‘marketers’, so as
to ‘trade’ upon the Gospel of Jesus Christ --- the Only Real Gospel, God’s Sole One, that is, a One, Holy,
Roman, Catholic, Apostolic, Eternal, Perpetual & Unchanging Faith ---
the One which bad & fake ‘catholics’ rejected, hating it &
eventually disbelieving in it with a satanic passion, and which an already
unbelieving, self-deifying humanity spurns with utter contempt, believing whatever they want…
being the ‘Gods’ & ‘Popes’ they are.
Contrarily, I
want the truth. The
Saving Truth. I
don’t want to be wealthy.
Especially if doing so entails making money or
‘mammon’ off of this Truth.
Comprehend? To be rational --- to be Christian,
the real kind, Roman Catholic completely & undefiled --- means poverty.
Or have you not perused Jesus
Christ’s Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes? Where we see, study
& cogitatively digest:
“And seeing the multitudes, he went up into
a mountain [Jesus ascended to the top of
a prominent mountain], and when he was set down, his disciples came unto
him [gathered around Him]. And
opening his mouth, he taught them, saying: ‘Blessed
are the poor in spirit: for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. Blessed are
they that mourn [weep passionately & endlessly]: for
they shall be comforted. Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice [the Catholic Religion Whole & Entire]: for they shall have
their fill [they will get everything
they have been yearning for, an existence of His Saving Truth &
Commandments, all of it perfectly professed & obeyed, forever & ever,
amen]. Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are
the peacemakers: for they shall
be called children of God. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake [because you’re a real & good
Catholic]: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye [all of you, till I return in the future]
when they shall revile you, and
persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake
[slander you, telling lies of how
you’re ‘bad’ because you’re truly Catholic]:
Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so [in the same way] they
persecuted the prophets that were before you [prophets who lived on earth long, long before you were ever born,
baptized & catechized into God’s Singular Religion]. You are the
salt of the earth. But if the salt
lose its savour [saltiness &
flavor], wherewith shall it be
salted [how in the world
will this world be changed for the better, anyone converted to the
‘salt’ of the Roman Catholic Church or made a better Roman Catholic,
if already converted]? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out [thrown away], and to be trodden on [walked on like dirt & filth] by
men. You are the light of the world.
A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and
put it under a bushel [a large opaque
cover], but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the
house. So let your light [a real Roman
Catholicism] shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father who is in heaven. Do
not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets [don’t you dare think that My Purpose
in being here on earth in Person is contrary to what I, God, have already
taught & commanded]. I am not come to destroy [God’s True Religion], but to fulfill [His Sole Roman Catholicism completely & successfully]. For
amen I say unto you [I tell you the
absolute truth], till heaven and earth pass [cease to exist], one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law [nothing in a New or Old Law of Catholicism
will stop existing or apply], till all be fulfilled [done to the tee, utterly]. He
therefore that shall break one of these LEAST commandments, and shall so teach
men [if you disobey even the very
least Catholic teaching or commandment and dare to teach other people to
do likewise], shall be called the
LEAST in the kingdom of heaven [you’ll
only barely make it to Heaven as a Catholic, being the least in Heaven
forever --- thereby also clearly implying that whoever breaks, and
teaches to break, a greater Catholic commandment will not at all be
able to enter Heaven… ever!]. But he that shall do and teach [Catholicity], he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven [whoever teaches & spreads all of His Roman Catholic
commandments whole, entire & undefiled
will accomplish a thing so very marvelous, worthy of massive eternal reward].
For I tell you, that unless your
justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees [your virtue is far better than that
of most of the Old Testament religious rulers], you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven [you’ll never find, receive or
enjoy eternal life].’” (Matthew 5:1-20 DRC)
Since Vatican II, Novus Ordo leaders &
theologians have made much of the supposed ‘holiness’ inherent in
earthly ‘poverty’. That is, somehow, magically, just being
‘poor’ in an earthly sense makes you --- automatically ---
‘holy’. Which is nonsense. I know.
I’ve walked the inner urban streets of New York City, Los Angeles,
Chicago, East St. Louis, San Francisco, Camden Town, and etc., etc., in the
middle of the night, encountering every homeless individual, wino, unhinged
person, thief or what-have-you, and I, doubtlessly, can boldly state, based
upon solid, repeated, real world experience:
Nothing about earthly ‘poverty’ makes you magically
‘holy’. Period.
So why do the post-Vatican II sort
tend to propagate this myth? Why do they act like Christ said ‘blessed
are the poor’ instead of His actual & full words, which
are, “Blessed are the poor IN SPIRIT…”?
What’s going on here and what is the ruse that is played?
Simple. Lucifer needs to appear as an ‘Angel of
Light’. Now, light must give the appearance of ‘brightness’.
Otherwise, how can it look like ‘light’? It doesn’t, or else
such light is in a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we humans
don’t normally perceive. Yet we’re talking about religious &
moral ‘light’. This is PARABLE
that Jesus told. So how does the original Evil One look like he’s
‘shining’… religiously
& morally speaking? Facile, my tender soul. Do
you recall where Christ sums up all of God’s Ten Commandments --- indeed,
all of His Law & Prophets --- with a mere two pithy statements? In Matthew
22:34-40 & Mark 12:28-34? Accordingly:
The FIRST & GREATEST
Commandment, which is: ‘Love the Triune
God of the Roman Catholic Religion with all your heart, soul, mind & with all of your strength.’
And the SECOND
Greatest of the Commandments, which is: ‘Love all of your fellow human beings even as much as you are happy to always love your very own self.’
Lucifer’s ploy is straightforward. Get
everyone to focus on the SECOND
Greatest Commandment TO THE EXCLUSION OF the First
& GREATEST Commandment. A
Greatest
& 1st Commandment that can only be fulfilled,
per Jesus, via these principles:
“If you love me, keep my commandments
[if you truly love Me,
then prove it by obeying everything I teach & command]… He that hath [has] my commandments, and keepeth
them [keeps them, i.e., actually
bothers obeying them]; he it is that loveth
[loves] me [only a person who in reality has
all My teachings & commands, and obeys them
all, each & every one, is the one that really & truly loves Me].”
(John 14:15, 21a-b DRC)
“All power is given to me in heaven
and in [on & beneath this] earth.
Going therefore, TEACH ye [all of you who are My
apostles & bishops, as well as other members of My Ecclesial Body] ALL
NATIONS; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost. TEACHING THEM TO
OBSERVE [believe & obey] ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU
[My Roman Catholic Religion Whole, Entire & Undefiled]: and
behold [you see that] I am with
you all days [for as long as any of
you that are Mine are alive upon this fallen & corrupt earth], even to
the consummation of the world [the
fulfillment & conclusion of everything in the world as we have known
it].” (Matthew
28:18c-20 DRC)
Connecting the dots? Starting to make sense?
Piercing the darkness?
Shortly after the advent of the luciferian
occultist’s New Aeon of the Sun in AD 1881, non-Catholic people…
still styling themselves as ‘traditionally religious’,
though… held a ‘world congress’ --- the first of its kind
during modern times --- of ‘all religions’ in AD 1893, at the
global-wide World Columbian Exposition (a
kind of early ‘world’s fair’) in Chicago, Illinois. With
so many of the earth’s people gathering here for months on end, the
Swedenborgian (a type of forerunner
to ‘Joseph Smith’ personas, they claiming to have ‘new
revelations’ from Jesus or Heaven, meaning, from a Catholic
perspective, really, really, exceptionally heretical versions of
‘christianity’) adherent, a Charles Carroll Bonney,
had the brainstorm to get people or leaders of all kinds of earth’s
religions to assemble there… since they’d likely be there
already!... from 11 to 27 September 1893, as a ‘Parliament of Religions’ and harbinger of an
‘ecumenical movement’ so dominant in the 20th century
and de rigueur for Novus Ordoists in consequence of Vatican II’s
‘reorientation’ of the ‘catholic church’ (for instance, notoriously LNO Cd. Bernardin
participated in its 1993 Chicago centennial…). Outcome?
An already fashionable Modernist claim was amplified deafeningly:
All religions on earth share a ‘Highest Teaching’
--- ‘love your neighbor’.
End of sentence. And NO dissent permitted; we don’t love you THAT much.
The point? This is how a fallen angel
‘shines’ as if he still bears light. Emphasize the
Creator’s Second
Greatest Commandment and cause humanity to utterly forget, forsake, vituperate
& excoriate the 1st
& Greatest of All Commandments, the one about loving Our Maker with
all our hearts, souls, minds and with all our strength… which can only find fulfillment in first having, knowing, believing, professing & obeying all of God’s Dogmas &
Commandments, which, in turn, is Roman
Catholicism Whole, Entire, Undefiled & Unchanged. Understanding
now? This is the chink in our armor.
And what noble pursuit exemplifies this deception
more poignantly than ‘helping’ the poor? Get it now? This is why people
who are not Catholic --- and
really hate the Church for being Our Creator’s Infallible & Saving
Church --- have emphasized, for the past few centuries, a purported
‘concern’ for the poor, or for the much-mistreated working
person, particularly since the beginning of the Industrial Era. This then gives
them, think they, a ‘moral high ground’, making them look like
they’re ‘noble’ & ‘enlightened’. They, supposedly, alone ‘care about’ or ‘do
something about’ the plight of the poor.
Supposedly. Meanwhile, realize how impressive this can look
to a biased modern?
As if no one else ‘cares’, as if only
Communists, Socialists, Liberals, Progressives, or whatever label you want to
put upon them, are the ones who try to ‘help’ and make the lives of
the poverty-stricken better, or more bearable. As if real & good Catholics
have never lifted a finger, for nearly two millennia, to follow their
Lord’s command that Roman Catholics, of all people, remember the widow,
orphan, oppressed & etc.
Yet in the mind of a biased Modernist person, do
you see how this works?
They DON’T
want to believe in Roman Catholicism… let alone put up with it… or
any traditional religion, for that matter. Yet they CAN’T escape being in the Image of God, in this way unable to
escape, also, a moral conscience with the Law of Natural Reason upon their
Modernist hearts. In other words, human beings are RELIGIOUS no matter what. Consequently, if unwilling to be in Our
God’s True Religion of Catholicism, or even a ‘traditional
religion’ --- because you’re a Modernist, worshipping your own self
--- obviously you’re going to have to appease or scald that troubling
conscience.
Somehow. Solution? Why,
it’s easy. Accentuate the Second
Greatest Commandment. Ignore completely the First & Greatest of God’s
Commandments, the one about being in the Right
Religion, which is Roman
Catholicism, how we actually verify we belong to Him and really do love
Him, here upon this very earth. In this way you both appease & scald
your poor conscience (pun almost
intended…), able to pretend you’re ‘good’, totally
impossible that you’re truly, in reality, a flagrant rebel against Our Creator.
Indeed, putting your own little created self in
place of Him, faking that you’re Him.
This is how satan
appears as “an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14 DRC)
It’s how Modernist Humanity pretends along with him, being equally
luciferian, fantasizing that we’re all of us (well, all of us who are eagerly Modernist, that is) ‘angels
of light’. See how we ‘love our neighbor as ourselves’ and
‘do unto others as we would have them, likewise, do unto us’. Are
we not noble? Are we not ‘loving’? Are we
not supremely, correctly and finally --- after all these thousands of years ---
rightly ‘religious’, if necessary to use that rather arcane, retro,
offensive & out-of-date term? Don’t we ‘tolerate’ and
‘love’ those ‘different’ from us… like poor
homosexuals, transgenders, ‘queer people’, and everyone so
determined, nowadays, to defy former conventions & customs that used to be
taken for granted, as the very epitome of civilized persons? I mean, isn’t
it all about ‘love’? Isn’t
that all that matters? Oh, but of course, ‘love’ redefined according to Modernist
principles. Modernists make all the rules now, naturally. Or, er, unnaturally. In defiance of God’s
Nature and ours, too.
In the meantime, most NOs (Novus Ordoists)
curiously truncate Christ’s actual words. He does not say ‘blessed are the poor’. In reality, as
Sacred Scripture and His Catholic Church guarantee us, He said, “Blessed
are the poor IN SPIRIT…”
Say that again?
Our Lord declared, “Blessed are the poor IN SPIRIT…” (Matthew
5:3a DRC)
What does this mean? We’ll get to it soon. Very soon, in fact, unveiling a ruse.
Note, though, how material poverty alone can never
be ‘blessed’ or ‘saintly’.
+++ 167. Darkness Upon
the Face of the Deep? +++
So what does it mean to say “…poor in spirit…”? What is the import?
The good & true Catholic and wise Catholic
saint know --- and admit --- how so very deficient we are when it comes to the
spiritual & religious things. They know --- unlike the world, including bad
and thus worldly Catholics --- “I’ll
never make it on my own in the life to come. After death, that is. My heart is too
curdled, my bowels too evil & too wicked, to save my immortal
soul. It’s not that I ‘cannot’ save my soul through
Jesus’ Catholic Body & Religion… it’s that I WILL NOT.” Which is as
much as to say?
That I’m so bad & wicked that, even
given everything I need to make it into Heaven, particularly my adequately
intelligent mind and my adequately free will, not to mention untold graces from
the Triune Catholic God, that I will certainly… without doubt!... wind up
suffering in hell forever because
I’m that inclined to be sinful & iniquitous. I love this
world too much. I want this
fleeting & corrupt temporality that
stubbornly. I am utterly determined to grasp for that which ends & fails instead of for that which endures…
ETERNALLY. This is irrational. Are we animals? Then why act on evil instinct?
As if corrupt flesh rules, and ought to rule. As
if the invisible & immortal soul is an afterthought, merely there to
‘enjoy the ride’. As if all that matters in this life of earthly
mortality is doing, saying & thinking whatever we want, whatever we deem to
be that which is ‘good’ & ‘worthwhile’. When, after
all, we die, and all that matters is this:
Do we die in the end, at our last aching gasp, for Our Maker
or against Him?
To be for
Our Creator is to be truly
Roman Catholic, whole, entire,
penitent & good. While to be against Him is to be never
Roman Catholic, or anti-Catholic…
period.
And now here, at the end of all things --- at the
end of the world as we know it --- we come to the crux. Literally, a Shining Cross. Which
way? Which way do we head? Is it upward toward Heaven? Or is it downward toward
hell? That’s the choice. That’s what it means to eat of the Tree of
Knowledge of Good & Evil. Now we know. We can see the difference between good & evil. And can choose
for either option. Which will it be?
Lucifer chose evil. In the
Building a

‘Gods’, in defiance of the True & Uncreated God.
Scripture implies, and tradition insists, that
Nemrod [Nimrod], the grandson of Cham
[Ham] and great grandson of Noe [Noah], led the
majority of the earth’s people into yet another rebellion against God.
Foiled with division of humanity’s single language into many distinct
& unintelligible languages (to
persons speaking another language, that is…),
they finally obeyed God, however begrudgingly, colonizing the rest of the
terrestrial globe. And, as remarked, it was primarily, if not solely, by tribe.
The languages, viz., logically must have been mainly assigned based on
ethnicity.
Sacred Scripture says briefly yet plainly how
Nemrod continued to rule elsewhere. So we’ve logically speculated, in
aligning testimony, facts & data from old, how this means, as well, that
the indomitable Nemrod went elsewhere with his lingual tribe and proceeded to
build a culture, empire & civilization that also, naturally, continued his
rebellious bent. Atlantis is the only thing that makes sense. Has anyone ‘disproved’ Atlantis
irrefutably?
Patently not. Scientists are human just like the rest of us, and human beings are susceptible to ignorance, bias
& fads. Was it simply ‘chance’ contemporary scientists
dismissed the notion of Atlantis during the 20th century, or was it
something a bit more clever & skullduggerish, our contemporary
world’s powers-that-be not wanting most of us to actually & logically
believe in the existence of Atlantis anymore… at least for a while? Probably something of both. It’s not in their interest
yet for people at large to believe solidly & logically in Atlantis right
now, but, you know, smart scientists --- regardless of a widely believed
reputation for ‘fairness’, ‘learning’ and supposed
‘impartiality’ --- are really pretty easily led by the nose via
stigma or prejudice.
I beg your pardon if you’re a scientist and
find the assertion very insulting.
Unfortunately, it’s true. I know. Because I’ve known a lot of scientists.
And they’re just as human & fallible
& biased as the rest of us. Getting educated and a high degree doesn’t then make them magically ‘immune’
to our human foibles. They’re merely --- putatively --- smarter &
more learned than most of us. Yet more fair? Or correct &
adequate in all their knowledge? Or somehow
undeviatingly impartial? No. Prevailing fashion has simply changed.
It’s not popular for scientists to believe in the continental landmass of
Atlantis right now. In actuality, it was popular not so long ago. And it could
be popular again in the not-too-distant future. Time will tell. Meanwhile, we
again observe: the circumstantial evidence is compelling and overwhelming.
It is much easier explaining the
things we find to be true if Atlantis existed than trying to explain
these things logically, factually & satisfactorily without an Atlantis
actually existing.
End of sentence. Yet where are we headed? Why
bring up Atlantis once more?
Well, where was
Atlantis --- and whether or not you want
to believe in it?
Right. Smack dab in the middle of the

+++ 168. The Beast of Satan Vs.
the Body of Christ? +++
Now the Beast of Satan is one. And the Body of
Christ is One. As any body is.
Contemplate it. How could a body be a body if it were divided and separated
into disconnected & unaligned parts? This is ludicrous. As
is much human thinking. Yet the New World Order powers-that-be are not
so. Irrational, yes. But stupid
& ludicrous? Not so. They’re quite lucid, quite intelligent,
and quite perspicacious. They are wildly astute. Rebellious, yes --- against
the One True God, that is --- but not dummies or
unlearned. Being Roman Catholic and knowing what this Church infallibly
teaches, as well as sagaciously concludes, I’m totally confident about
these observations.
It also helps that I put myself into their shoes (figuratively speaking, of course) and
reason carefully. That is to say, if I were them --- possessing their power and
wealth and intelligence --- well, what would I do? To further
& confirm my power, wealth & great knowledge? Right… continue to arrange the world so as to
support my goals. Savvy? Doesn’t take a massive
genius to figure this out. You just have to be curious enough, brave
enough, and determined enough, to reason it through logically. All based, of
course, on the solid convictions of Roman Catholicity, carried out rationally.
So it’s really not that shocking,
‘ridiculous’ or ‘impossible’. Really.
You begin with basic facts. You apply correct
logic. Voilà!
The fathomable is fathomable. Who’d have
thought?
You’re either for Christ or against
Him. (Matthew
12:30, Luke 11:23) Is Lucifer for Christ? NO. Does Jesus give us a ‘third option’? Does He
anywhere say --- even barely imply --- that you can choose to ‘sit on the
fence’, waiting it out? In other words, “I’m on nobody’s side except my own.
I’ll sit here quietly as the two of you duke it out, until I see what
happens. Then I’ll decide what to do. Maybe I’ll join up
with the winner. Or maybe I’ll mosey on down the road to find another
option. Maybe. I’ll figure it out
later.”
No way. That’s not even possible. We
didn’t make ourselves. Almighty God did.
And He made us in His Image, to look like Him. To be with Him for Eternity.
There is no in-between. We cannot escape our
destiny; we cannot stop being ourselves. Made in His Image, then, even the
choice of rebellion against Him winds up being simply a fulfillment of our
destiny, but in direct opposition to His Will. Or, put differently, we’ll
never stop wanting Godness because it’s built into our very selves, our
very souls. Look into the mirror. What do you see? The Image
of God, Our Maker. We can’t help it. It’s unavoidable. He
rules or we rule. One or the other. Because
we’re His spitting Image.
As we’ve noted umpteen times --- we rule with Him, or we rule without Him. Hm.
Which do you think it will be? Naturally, we know
the eventual outcome…
I.e., if you’re truly
Roman Catholic and trying to be good. Naturally.
In other words, God wins in the end. Oppose Him,
and you lose.
Forever. In hell. Without Him. Tormented eternally. The end.
Does this daunt Lucifer, howsoever? Well, no. Or,
at least, not that he’d ever admit it. He’s that proud, you know.
The point is, he made his choice long ago. First rebel, first to fall into sin. Knowing full well what
he was doing --- not conceived in ignorance as we are --- thus his fate was
sealed immediately. He became totally evil without hope of redemption. Period. This is why it’s okay to hate satan. Are you Roman Catholic? Excellent.
Then hate satan with a passion! It’s the right
thing to do. Totally.
In the meanwhile, though, he’s forced to
attempt the impossible. To wit, to take God’s Throne. And place himself on it. Tough to achieve? To say the least. But it’s at the top of his bucket
list, and, whilst he works on lesser evil aims, too, when & where he can,
trying to make hay while the moon shines, this ‘numero uno’
objective drives him ruthlessly. Literally. He now
can’t help striving to be ‘God’, to steal both His Throne
& Rule.
He’s that evil… with no goodness
left… and that inexorably driven to do sin.
Likewise his spiritual offspring. Yes, a third of the angels fell with him,
becoming the demons they now are, but he has other offspring, too. Namely, fallen humanity. You see, when Ss. Adam & Even
chose to sin for the very first time in the Garden of Paradise, St. Adam ---
who was Pope & King Over All Visible Creation and had access to Highest
Heaven --- then turned over rule of this creation to satan, as required by
God’s Law. Hence why
Since this Original Sin of Ss. Adam & Eve,
all humanity… apart from Jesus & Mary… suffers conception into
Original Sin. In other words, we’re born bad. And
we belong to Lucifer. Have trouble believing this? But call
yourself Catholic? Then examine a missal. For instance, where we read, in the
Ceremony of the Sacrament of Baptism, “Go
out of him [the one to be
baptized into the Catholic Body of Jesus Christ], thou unclean spirit [you
demonic creature] and give place to the Holy Ghost… Drive
from Thy servant [the one about to receive
the Sacrament of Baptism --- the baptizand --- becoming Christ’s by means of this
spiritual work], O Lord, all blindness of heart, BREAK ALL THE BONDS OF SATAN
BY WHICH HE WAS TIED… I exorcise thee, unclean
spirit [I, the priest, or one under
necessity performing this sacred duty, do throw you out of this person,
you demonic minion of the devil, since you no longer have any claim
of ownership upon this person after the baptismal water is properly applied]…
that thou go forth and depart from
this servant of God… Therefore, accursed spirit, acknowledge thy sentence
[God’s condemnation of you
& your wicked possession]… by
withdrawing from this servant of God… I exorcise thee, unclean
spirit… that thou depart from
this creature of God [that you leave
this human being immediately]… [name of one

you] RENOUNCE SATAN? [Replies
to this and next two questions then given by either the baptizand --- if old
enough --- or godfather, if the baptizand is an infant or very young child.]
I do renounce him. And all his works? I do renounce
them. And all his pomps [an archaic word
now, meaning all boastful religious falsehoods and the vanities of this world]?
I do renounce them.” (The St.
Andrew Daily Missal, Section for Holy Baptism, as found on pages 1861-1865

Exorcism & Renunciation of Satan, respectively. Originally published by
E.H. Lohman Co. in 1945 with Imprimi

Delacroix, O.S.B. on 18 October 1945 and the Imprimatur of Joseph van der Meersch on 22 October 1945,

Lefebvre. Republished in

Jesus commands His Apostles:
“Go ye [all
of you] into the whole world, and preach the gospel [Roman Catholic Religion] to every
creature [every human being]. He that believeth [believes] and is baptized, shall be saved: BUT HE THAT
BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE CONDEMNED.” (Mark 16:15b-16 DRC)
And why the Holy Ghost through
“Put you on the armour of God [all Roman Catholics should be fully
prepared for spiritual battles to come], that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil.

souls] IS NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD [i.e., mere human beings or other physical creatures]; BUT AGAINST
PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, AGAINST THE RULERS OF THE WORLD OF THIS
DARKNESS, AGAINST THE SPIRITS OF WICKEDNESS IN THE HIGH PLACES [the atmosphere surrounding our earth,
through which demonic spirits may easily travel to wickedly afflict us].”
(Ephesians 6:11-12 DRC)
The conclusion is clear, from this and yet other
evidence we could summon if not hampered by the potential reader’s
limited time or interest. Ss. Adam & Eve lost this world to Lucifer &
his demonic cohorts, and human beings, conceived in Original Sin, cannot wholly
escape this possession & oppression --- or attain to Heaven at all ---
without membership in Christ’s Catholic Body and His Divine Assistance.
Which means, very simply,
it’s one of two things for all human beings:
EITHER THE BEAST OF SATAN
OR THE BODY OF CHRIST.
The former is ultimately irrational whilst the

In other words, while the other heads have
embraced paganism & immorality, the Oceanic Beast’s first & seventh heads are uniquely ‘self-deifying’. Hence a symbolism of the
West… of a terrestrially dominant empire turning its back upon the
East, the Dawn evoking the Light of Christ and
His Roman Catholic Church. Hence a symbolism, of Atlantis submerged in fire &
water under the Atlantic Sea (the
so-called ‘Mid-Atlantic Ridge’ is a volcanic mountain system
roughly dividing the Atlantic Ocean into halves, it obviously having played a
role in Atlantis’ destruction and part of a suboceanic range of mountains
girdling the earth for over 40,000 miles… yes, you read correctly…
well over 40,000 miles long!). And hence the symbolism, as well, of an
Anglo-American Empire spanning

This has always been true. It’s only more
& more out in the open now.
One of the most intriguing passages of the
Apocalypse --- apart from Oceanic & Terrestrial Beasts, as well as the
endlessly fascinating number, 666 --- is the cryptic ‘harlot’ (or ‘prostitute’) seated
upon a scarlet beast, drinking the blood of the Catholic martyrs. She is
obviously satanic, as the things of blasphemy written all over this beast’s
form attest, not to mention her imbibing of the blood of God’s hallowed
martyrs. As well, written upon this harlot’s forehead is the equally
cryptic phrase, “A mystery,

read:
“And there came one of the seven
angels, who had the seven vials, and spoke with me, saying: ‘COME,
I WILL SHEW THEE THE CONDEMNATION OF THE GREAT HARLOT, WHO
SITTETH UPON MANY WATERS, WITH WHOM THE KINGS OF THE EARTH HAVE COMMITTED
FORNICATION; AND THEY WHO INHABIT THE EARTH, HAVE BEEN MADE DRUNK WITH
THE WINE OF HER WHOREDOM.’ And he took me away in spirit into
the desert. And I saw a woman
sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, FULL OF NAMES OF BLASPHEMY, having seven heads and ten
horns. And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and gilt
with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her
hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication. And
on her forehead a name was
written: ‘A MYSTERY; BABYLON
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE FORNICATIONS, AND THE ABOMINATIONS
OF THE EARTH.’ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the
saints, and with the blood of
the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when
I had seen her, with great admiration. And the angel said to me: ‘Why
dost thou wonder? I will tell thee THE MYSTERY
OF THE WOMAN, AND OF THE BEAST WHICH CARRIETH HER, which hath
the seven heads and ten horns. The beast, which thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall come up out of the bottomless pit, and go into destruction:
and the inhabitants on the earth (whose
names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of
the world) shall wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not. And
here is the understanding that hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains, upon which the woman sitteth, and they are
seven kings: five are fallen, one is, 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 also is the eighth, and is of
the seven, and goeth into destruction. 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. These have one
design: and their strength and power they shall deliver to the beast.
These shall fight with the Lamb, 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, ARE PEOPLES, AND NATIONS,
AND TONGUES. AND THE TEN HORNS WHICH THOU SAWEST IN THE BEAST: THESE
SHALL HATE THE HARLOT, AND SHALL MAKE HER DESOLATE AND NAKED, AND SHALL EAT
HER FLESH, AND SHALL BURN HER WITH FIRE. FOR

Get all that? Quite a parable,
eh? I purposely refrained from any annotations, leaving it in rather
old-fashioned English from the Elizabethan era --- whilst adding emphases to
draw the reader’s attention to super important & relevant stuff ---
in order not to interfere with a reader’s potential understanding,
comprehending it overall more easily & thoroughly. Besides which,
we’ve quoted from this passage in part several times in Helplessly Ignorant. Yet

But it’s time. It’s time now
to begin to understand. Who has eyes & ears?
Then look, listen & fathom. Because it’s happening today as we
live.
+++ 170. Drunken Harlot & Blood Red Beast? +++
What is a ‘harlot’? Someone that we used to call a ‘prostitute’.
Nowadays, political correctness --- the
Religion of Modernism --- ‘requires’ us to esteem them with a terribly
clinical-sounding moniker, ‘sex worker’. Which is
technically correct… but misses the point entirely. Is what this ‘sex worker’ does right
or wrong? Per Modernists, it’s fine. Per
Catholicism, not at all. It is sin, and it is reprehensible. Is
the poor woman (for it’s usually
women who are prostitutes, although not always when ‘homosexuality’
becomes the norm…) doing so merely because she has no other way to
survive? Then a true, good & wise Catholic shows her mercy, whilst not
deviating one bit from the truth --- that
this means of making a living is sinful & reprehensible. Which
is why certain great saints, in their unlimited mercy, as extensions of
God’s Inexhaustible Mercy, very sensibly made ‘homes’ for
such women in Catholic countries, providing them a place of refuge from wicked
men, and a safe place to survive, well fed and well cared for, preserving the
sanctity of both their bodies & their precious souls. Popular
to believe anymore?
Obviously not. We are so, so, so much more
‘enlightened’ in modern times.
But I’m talking to real Catholics, not
Moderns. Unless, of course, unexpectedly & miraculously
enough, the Modernist person deems to listen. Whichever, the truth is
the truth. Prostitution --- harlotry --- is very sinful. Mortally
so. Ergo, this apocalyptic
harlot is an evil entity.
Whatever she represents… it’s
not good. Moreover, she’s
drunk. Real Catholics who are wise do not axiomatically condemn
the drinking of wine or beer, or liquor, for that matter. It can be
acceptable in moderation, barring a vow otherwise. Nevertheless,
drunkenness? Never permissible, unless near death in
awful pain.
(Please peruse Proverbs 31:6 for proof of the latter, put metaphorically.)
And notice what she’s drunk upon? Yes.
She’s inebriated upon “the blood of the saints, and… the
blood of the martyrs of Jesus.” (Apocalypse 17:6a-b DRC) And what saints
or martyrs are these? Are they Eastern Schismatics (so-called Eastern ‘Orthodoxy’) or one of innumerable
Protestant sects, like Anglicans, Methodists, Pentecostals, Nazarenes,
Assemblies of God, Vineyard, or self-styled ‘non-denominationalist
christians’ or ‘followers of jesus’, etc., etc.? Of course not. No real Catholic could think so.
There is NO real Christianity except for REAL Roman Catholicity. Period.
Which then rules out Novus
Ordoists, too; i.e., post-Vatican IIers. Accordingly, those who still dare to call
themselves ‘catholic’ yet deny one or more of a real
Catholicism’s infallible dogmas, either directly or indirectly (for instance, by changing the meaning
of the infallible dogma’s teaching while pretending --- perhaps
even self-deluded --- that you still mean the same thing, without
contradiction). ¿Comprende? Such people
are either LNO (Liberal Novus Ordoist,
the worst), CNO (Conservative Novus
Ordoist, middle of the road) or TNO (Traditional
Novus Ordoist, really looking ‘catholic’, notwithstanding, defying at
least one infallible dogma in its original & ancient understanding,
typically the Salvation Dogma, if nothing else). Remember?
“The most Holy Roman Catholic Church firmly believes,
professes, and preaches that none of those existing outside
the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews, heretics
and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the eternal fire which was prepared
for the devil and his angels, unless before death they are joined
with Her; and that so important is the unity of this
ecclesiastical body that only those remaining within this unity can
receive an eternal recompense for their fasts, their almsgivings, their other
works of Christian piety and the duties of a Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as
great as it may, no one, even if he pour out his blood for the name of
Christ, can be saved, unless he remain within the bosom and the unity
of the Catholic Church.” (Pope Eugene IV’s Cantate
domino, Paragraph 12, all emphases added)
Yes, we saw this back in Chapters 26 to 33 of
this book, Helplessly Ignorant. Part
of Holy Mother Church’s countless ways of solemnly, infallibly & explicitly
reminding us of what the warning, ‘no Salvation outside the
Church’, has always meant, from the most ancient of times, with no ifs,
ands or buts, or any kind of change in meaning that clearly contradicts what
Roman Catholics infallibly knew it to mean from the beginning.
End of sentence.
Consequently, the Apocalyptic Harlot is drunk
upon the blood of Roman Catholic saints, and Roman Catholic
martyrs. Which then also means, being logical and noting that she is
automatically a very evil entity, that she is most
certainly, without doubt, anti-Catholic.
Following this so far? Good. Stay calm, keep
cool, and be utterly reasonable & logical.
Is this Apocalyptic Harlot, evil entity that she
is, a real, live, normal human being?
Plainly not. This is Parable we indulge --- not concrete
reality. All the same, the Parable really does mean something real &
concrete in this real & concrete world of ours. That is to say, when the
Parable is from God Himself and placed in Sacred Scripture for real Catholics to
see for centuries on end. So what could it possibly mean & portend?
Well, do you recall our logical distinction
between two opposing enemies?
Specifically… the Beast of Satan
verses the Body of Christ?
Ah, now. Now is a voice of reason chiming in your
head? Now is the puzzle just beginning to come together? Or perhaps the beloved
reader is sharp, intelligent, or graced mightily with the Spirit-Bestowed Gift
of Wisdom. If so, then I humbly beg your pardon. Please, though, I plead,
recollect how much ignorance I’ve had to endure throughout my life at the
hands of others, particularly after becoming truly & really Roman Catholic.
But the die is cast. Intelligently &
reasonably, based upon the inerrant testimony of Sacred Scripture, as
infallibly upheld & preserved by Christ’s Singular Catholic Body,
we’re forced to conclude --- logically --- that this is the flip side of
sanctity. To wit, everything God does, Lucifer tries to imitate. Except in reverse. Evil… not good.
So what is the Apocalyptic Harlot? Well, please
answer me another question:
What is the Body of Christ? Correct. His Holy & Sanctified
Bride or Wife.
So what is the Apocalyptic Harlot? And we give
the rational rejoinder:
She is the Unholy, Most Vile & Depraved
Bride or Wife of Satan.
Get it? Body vs. Beast. Jesus’ Church; Lucifer’s Anti-Church. Which delights in inebriating itself with the sanctified blood of
Christ’s Saints & His Holy Martyrs. Be these Martyrs dry or
bloody --- dying to themselves with holy resignation in the face of unrivalled
evil, confusion & darkness throughout the modern world --- or actual
deaths, murdered at the hands of modernized, vicious, immoral, violent &
satanic people, the outcome is identical. Lucifer’s Anti-Church, Vile
Beast & Wife, is inebriated.
Yet the blood red beast? Or, precisely speaking, the “scarlet
coloured beast” on which Lucifer’s Prostitute sits, enthroned,
supremely arrogant and blasphemously defying all Truth, whether specially
revealed via God’s Infallible Religion or intrinsically traced upon our
hearts as the Law of Natural Reason? What is this strange creature?
As ever, parable. And we’ve already explained it. It’s
the Sea Monster.
Or, if you will, the
Apocalyptic Oceanic Beast, with seven heads. In other words, Modernist Humanity, self-deifying,
and their selves defying Our Creator, trying to enthrone themselves upon His
Throne, establishing a New World Order, building, if possible, a new &
modern Tower of Babel to invade the heavens, allowing the fallen angel,
Lucifer, to ‘re-ascend’, as it were, this Ancient Dragon
attempting, through humanity, to regain what he lost. An
‘Angel of Light’? New Aeon of the Sun?
Absolutely. Yet why red… or “scarlet”, as
the Elizabethan prose puts it?
It can mean many things, and I don’t claim
to know them all. Nonetheless, I can clue you in on a few things. First, from
where does satan come? After his fall, I mean. Right. Hell. Pretty hot down there, eh?
Even Darwinistic scientists, not wanting to believe in any of this, agree,
admitting the impossible-to-deny --- that it’s volcanically red hot at earth’s heart,
a hell of heat. So red?
I mean, Lucifer & His Beast do come from hell, correct?
Yet it’s also in reference to our humanity.
What do we usually think of as the color of our blood? Would
that be… red?
Yes! Howbeit, to be really exact and medically correct, it is only red when
oxygenated. That is, when saturated with life-sustaining oxygen from the air
all around us. When not oxygenated, or too little oxygenated, it is blue
appearing. Perhaps you’ve never thought about it, dear soul…
I’m betting you haven’t… but corporeal human beings are
slow-burning furnaces. Every living cell in our bodies gradually
‘burns’ certain molecules with the life-sustaining oxygen in order
to, one, release power & strength to our bodies, and, two, to keep us warm
so as not to freeze.
And die. Fascinating? I think so. Our whole lives
are one long burning corporeal fire. Until it goes out, and
we die. The end. So red can symbolize this corporeality of ours, of how we depend
on burning oxygen all our lives on earth --- and our blood is red carrying this
oxygen to our cells in order to keep the bodily furnace going, so to speak ---
until death, until our lives are finished and we depart this earth to face Our
Maker.
And, third, what is the color of Communism? Every
Communist flag you see, in whatever nation on earth, now or last century, has
revolved around the color of red.
Chance? I think not. Blue is the color of the sky, and
symbolizes Heaven. Likewise, scarlet is the color of inner earth, where hell
resides, and Communism is invariably opposed to God’s Catholicism, making
hellish blood red its obvious
emblem.
There can be other meanings, too. Scripture is
frequently multi-layered.
Yet these are the ones most plain, easy to see,
and necessary to know.
So, drunken harlot & scarlet beast? Satan’s Wife &
Anti-Church.
+++ 171. Fornications
& Abominations? +++
Yet what are the ‘fornications’ &
‘abominations’ of Lucifer’s Apocalyptic Harlot?
If you study Sacred Scripture’s Old
Testament very carefully, with comprehension, you discover a standard
commonality. And that is? That Our Creator equates false religion to
‘fornication’. In other words, just like St. Eve to St. Adam,
He made us, humanity, to be in His Image --- to look like Him --- and,
while not actually Him, nevertheless, made to be His. Indeed, to be with Him forever & ever,
world without end, amen. In short, to become, practice, remain, persevere
& die as good Roman Catholics on earth.
This results in the Celestial Wedding of the Lamb
in Eternity. But why?
Why is it Roman Catholicism and nothing
else that can work, making us His?
Because HE HIMSELF, the Uncreated, is ROMAN
CATHOLIC from All Eternity. There is no other way to be just like Him, looking like
Him, unless we ourselves become perfectly & unwaveringly ROMAN
CATHOLIC, JUST LIKE HIM.
Ergo, Humankind is made to be HIS ETERNAL BRIDE & WIFE. This is
especially true becoming Roman Catholic fully & truly. Yes,
we’re in His Image from conception… notwithstanding, a marred
image, damaged & scarred by Lucifer the Fallen Angel. Hence
the significance of the SACRAMENT OF
BAPTISM & PROFESSION OF FAITH. This is how we become
‘promised’ to Him… betrothed, as it were. We take a
vow to belong to Him for an Eternity. As a result, prove unfaithful &
disloyal to this solemn vow, whatever could possibly happen in response? Right. A VERY, VERY,
VERY UNDERSTANDABLY & RIGHTLY JEALOUS SPOUSE WHO DEMANDS JUSTICE BE
DONE, AND THAT THE WRONGDOERS SUFFER FULL PUNISHMENT FOR HORRID & HURTFUL
CRIMES AGAINST GOD.
Now do you understand why satan strives so hard to destroy human families?
This is why the Final Battle --- betwixt a Fallen Angel and the Assumed
Immaculate --- revolves around issues involving Family & Sexuality.
Divorce?
Annihilate the idea that marriage is to
be forever, till death do us part; this way, you also annihilate the
idea that God made Humanity to be His forever, death never doing us apart.
Abortion?
Decimate the notion that human life is
sacred and follows naturally from the joining of husband & wife; in
this way, you also decimate the notion God’s Image & Eternal Life
are sacred, following, supernaturally, from joining of Our Maker & His Made.
Contraception?
Likewise…
including this proviso. That,
in obliterating the concept that marital intimacy is for procreation, you also
inculcate the concept that any sexual intimacy is for pleasure, and okay for
pleasure alone; in such a fashion you also obliterate the concept of Our
Maker requiring us, both as human beings and Roman Catholics, to live our
earthly existences for something other than mere pleasure, indeed, in order to
suffer. And therefore the next step. Homosexuality? If not about procreation,
then why not? Unfortunately,
sexual hedonism repulses many people, or, at least, causes them to consider you
a very shallow & silly person. Thus, focus at first on a sublime sounding
‘love’, as if this is what ‘gay marriage’ amounts to,
thereby demolishing any thought that it matters who or what ‘marries’;
this strategy then demolishes also any thought Jesus Christ made human
beings male & female for any real purpose beyond ‘loving’ each
other, so demolishing, too, any strictures against anyone or anything
‘marrying’ for any reason apart from ‘love’, and
therefore demolishing the thought Jesus requires us to live in
‘obedience’ to Him, as if His Plan or Rules matter, that we are not
to do whatever happens to strike us as the thing we choose to do, regardless of
the Plan or Rules. Transgenderism? If
the sexes are pointless --- and there is no Divine Plan or Rules, leastwise, of
which we Modernists approve, meaning a ‘plan’ or
‘rules’ that agrees with and approves of the Dogmas of the Religion
of Modernism --- then be whatever sex you ‘feel’ like being.
Forsooth, make up any ‘sex’ you wish, there being no Plan or
Rules which can ‘forbid’ you to do so, or wish to do so. This
line of attack razes the last vestiges of any boundaries on what is
‘acceptable’ for human beings to do with their human lives on earth
or anywhere in the universe; simultaneously, it razes also the last
vestiges of any boundaries on what is ‘acceptable’ for human
beings to believe about human existence beyond death, whether it be the
‘oblivion’ of human sentience or, conversely, the continuation of
human consciousness for time without any end. But, illogically & bizarrely,
with this one exception: that you do not ever --- EVER! --- vituperatively choose
to believe, or act, on a Roman Catholic Plan & Rules.
Grasping adequately? Modernists think life here now
is most crucial. It’s not.
Life on earth is merely a prelude… a
metaphor, so to speak… for the Life to Come. Consequently, why God made us the way He did,
giving us the ability to understand the Life to Come by our life here, right now, on earth.
The two sexes are two sexes, while the Sacrament of Matrimony is the Sacrament
of Matrimony, in order for us to fathom a Real
& Eternal Marriage to Come, in the Life Hereafter, in Heaven
Forevermore, with God a Spiritual
Husband & We His Immortal Wife. Without our life devised &
arranged as it is (or was, rather,
considering the Great Apostasy now), we’re unable to fathom & grasp properly
a World to Come, so foreign it is to our existence here below, temporally.
Therefore, this is Our Maker’s Way of making sure we, His Images, comprehend.
As a result, Lucifer a Chronic Liar, do you see
why he turns it all upside down?
It ruins our ability to understand both
Catholicism & Eternal Existence to Come. It enables us to imagine fantasies
instead of reality. In fact, it ensures
that we imagine fairy tales of luciferian import rather than Our Triune Maker’s Real Reason &
Purpose. It is a strategic ploy guaranteed to wind up in utmost chaos, confusion & endless damnation.
Let us read in Sacred Scripture, divining
God’s Very Real Eternal Purpose for us, additionally discovering the
unpleasant consequences for rebelliously defying Him:
“And the word of the Lord came to me [St. Ezechiel the
Prophet], saying: ‘Son of man [you
mere human being, but made in My Image], make known to Jerusalem [the Roman Catholic Church, as the early
Church fathers and the Church Herself makes clear we are to interpret Old
Testament prophecies, still applicable, during the New Testament, since Christ
Our Lord became Incarnate] her abominations. And thou shalt [will] say:
“Thus saith [says]
the Lord God to Jerusalem [again, the
Catholic Church, both Old & New]: Thy [Your] root, and thy nativity [birth]
is of the land of Chanaan [a people cursed & extremely sinful], thy father was an Amorrhite [Amorite, a
Semitic people as were the Israelites, and likely connected to the ancient
Babylonians from whom the Hebrew patriarch, St. Abraham, was descended, yet
much soiled, religiously, by the Chamitic Chanaanites or Sumerians], and thy mother a Cethite [more
difficult to decipher here, although it would seem, perhaps via Chamitic Egyptian references, that this is another name for
the Hittites, our third head of the Oceanic Beast and, ultimately, a blend of
the Semitic & Chamitic peoples]. And when
thou wast [you
were] born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel was not cut, neither
wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor
salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts. No eye had pity on thee to
do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection
of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born. [In other words, your infancy was
unintentional & unwanted, and you were thrown away to die in filth.]
And passing by thee [you], I [God] saw that thou wast
trodden under foot in thy own blood. and I said to
thee when thou wast in thy blood: ‘Live’:
I have said to thee: ‘Live in thy blood [be alive and do as you will, either following Me or else following
others into iniquity].’ I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the
field: and thou didst [did] increase
and grow great, and advancedst [advanced, i.e., grew older, bigger, smarter & cleverer], and camest [came] to
woman’s ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew [you grew into a woman, fully formed &
developed]: and thou wast naked, and full of
confusion [you had no idea how to
tell the truth from falsehood or right from wrong, doing whatever you
wanted]. And I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold [you see] thy time was the time of
lovers [you had come to age where a man
might find you lovely and thus desire you for himself]: and I spread my
garment over thee, and covered thy ignominy [I clothed you modestly, protecting you from lechers, and teaching
you the difference between goodness & evil]. And I swore to thee, and
I entered into a covenant with thee [made
a solemn religious vow with you, making you Catholic, and hence mine alone],
saith the Lord God: and thou becamest
[became] mine [that is to say, religiously speaking, you
are My Betrothed, My Immortal Wife to be in Heaven Forever]. And I
washed thee with water [a prophetic
prefiguring of the Sacrament of Baptism], and cleansed away thy blood from
thee: and I anointed thee with oil [prefiguring
the Sacrament of Confirmation]. And I clothed thee with embroidery, and
shod thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen,
and clothed thee with fine garments [to
wit, I taught you absolutely everything you needed to know in order to be truly
& wholly Roman Catholic, doing good works in Christ and pleasing Me
forever]… thou didst eat fine flour [the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist prefigured], and honey, and
oil, and wast made exceeding beautiful [great & saintly in virtue]: and wast advanced to be a queen [since I, God, am a King of kings, then you, married to Me, are My
Queen]. And thy renown [fame] went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast
perfect through my beauty, which I
had put upon thee, saith the Lord God. But
trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst [played, i.e., boldly insisted on being]
the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every
passenger [sold or given away your
body for the pleasure of every man who you can see; viz., religiously speaking,
you have taught & believed every false religion that strikes your fancy,
making yourself into the Whore of Lucifer], to be his. And taking of
thy garments thou hast made thee [made
for yourself] high places sewed together on each side: and hast played the
harlot upon them, as hath not been done before, nor shall be hereafter [this is in great part an apocalyptic
prophecy of our own times, but means, in essence, that you worship anything you
deem to be a ‘god’, including your own self]. And thou tookest [took]
thy beautiful vessels, of my gold, and my silver, which I gave thee, and thou madest thee [made for
yourself] images of men [a collection
of forms of mere creatures --- which can include your own self --- religiously
worshipping these creatures as if they are ‘gods’ and have the
authority to teach & command you or others], AND HAST [HAVE] COMMITTED
FORNICATION WITH THEM... And thou hast taken thy sons, and thy
daughters, whom thou hast borne to me [baptized
and raised as Roman Catholic]: and hast sacrificed the same to them to
be devoured [indeed, this could be
literal during the Old Testament; it is still applicable in the New Testament since
this is precisely what all bad ‘catholic’ parents do when
‘switching’ religious allegiance and, as a result, then teach baptized
children spiritual lies]. Is
thy fornication small [a tiny little
sin that doesn’t much matter]? …And it came to pass after
all thy wickedness (woe, woe to thee, saith the Lord
God [you’re in for some real
trouble & suffering because of your hideous sins]) that thou didst also
build thee a common stew [make for
yourself a ‘food’ to be shared with everyone], and madest thee a brothel house in every street [literally, you’ve set up whorehouses
--- places of prostitution --- at every street corner, the poetic point of the
reference to a “common stew” mentioned above; whilst, figuratively,
you’ve embraced every single false religion there is, seeing no
problem with their self-inconsistencies, or contradictions to each other, as if
logic & facts, or the truth, actually matter]. At every head of the
way [at all the major street
intersections or highway crossings] thou hast set up a sign of [a billboard advertising] thy
prostitution [professing &
worshipping in every single false religion]: and hast made thy beauty to
be abominable [you appear spiritually
repugnant & religiously ugly]: and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and hast multiplied
thy fornications [there’s not a false religion that you
don’t love]… Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart [how will I make your heart clean &
loyal to Roman Catholicity?], saith the Lord
God: seeing thou dost all these the works of a shameless prostitute [given that you’re so shameless &
zealous about being a religious prostitute, offering your body to every
‘man’ for free, indeed, paying them to fornicate with you]?
Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou
hast made thy high place in every street: and wast
not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price
[as noted above, you don’t raise
or ‘enhance’ the price of paying for your body as any sensible
business person would do, to make the maximum amount of money], but as
an adulteress, that bringeth [brings] in strangers over her husband [you’re more of an adulteress than a prostitute, sleeping &
fornicating with any man that you can… that is, except for your very own
husband]. Gifts are given to all harlots: but thou hast given hire to all thy lovers, and thou hast given them
gifts to come to thee from every side, to commit fornication with thee [any prostitute requires a man pay to have
the freedom to fornicate with her, while
you pay any & every man to fornicate with you, so shameless & lustful
are you, doing so for carnal pleasure and not simply to make money].
And it hath [has] happened in thee
contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there
shall be no such fornication [you’re
the worst of the worst, and no one will ever equal your iniquity, exactly
what has transpired, religiously speaking, to so-called ‘catholics’
during our era, the Great Apostasy]: for in that thou gavest [gave]
rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in
thee.’ Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord [what I, Christ, have to say about
you]… ‘Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy shame
discovered [your sin revealed]
through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with the idols of thy
abominations, by the blood of thy children whom thou gavest
them: behold, I will gather together all thy lovers with whom thou hast
taken pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou hast hated: AND I WILL GATHER THEM TOGETHER AGAINST
THEE ON EVERY SIDE, and will discover thy shame in their sight, and
they shall see all thy nakedness. And I will judge thee as [I would all other] adulteresses, and they that shed blood [i.e., murderers] are judged: AND
I WILL GIVE THEE BLOOD [EXECUTE YOU FOR THE VILEST OF HELLISH CRIMES] IN FURY
AND JEALOUSY.’” (Ezechiel 16:1-17,
20, 23-25, 30-35, 36b-38 DRC)

& Fornications? +++
Understanding a little better now? Realizing how dark our confused times?
FALSE RELIGION IS TRULY SPIRITUAL FORNICATION… PERIOD.
It’s why
we’re male & female --- two
sexes --- and why husband
& wife marry, for procreation
and the making of a family, properly
ordered & arranged, so that we might comprehend Who God Is, and who we are in relation to Him,
and what His Purpose for us
is, so that we might rightly please
Him by being & dying as good
Roman Catholics.
Yet abominations? We clarified spiritual fornication. What is
spiritual abomination?

catechism the words which follow:

The Penny Catechism goes back at least into the early 1800s, itself a simpler version
drawn from earlier catechisms of that time & place, costing, literally,
only a ‘penny’ (or
‘pence’ in British parlance) in cost, hence small & easy
for the average or poor person to buy. It’s use spread to the United
States prior to the advent of the execrable ‘Baltimore Catechism’ (execrable, because most versions have had
some form of the salvation heresy), and endures in certain updated forms
even today, despite the Baltimore Catechism being around for some time now.
Although beware, surely by 1971 --- perchance sooner --- The Penny Catechism was tinkered with and changed, in the wake of
the Vatican II Pseudo-Council, to include blatantly heretical teachings about
our salvation, just like the Baltimore Catechism, as well as other Modernist
tripe.
The quote above, though, accurately represents
infallible Catholic dogma. Notwithstanding, is the reader ignorant or need more
proof? I presume it’s going to be mostly, if not totally, people who
consider themselves Catholic that are likely to read this book… and even
if you’re not what you claim to be, not professing the Catholic Religion
Whole, Entire & Undefiled. Well, then, these things should matter to you.
Just to make certain, though, let us quote from a still earlier approved source
of Catholic teaching:
“Q [Question]. How many such sins are
there? A [Answer]. Four.
Q. What is the first of them? A. Willful murder, which is a voluntary
and unjust taking away another’s life… Q. What is the second [sin]?
A. The sin of Sodom, or carnal sin against nature, which is a voluntary
shedding of the seed of nature, out of the due use of marriage, or lust with a
different sex [than the one God made your particular sex to naturally
want]… Q. What is the third [sin]? A. Oppressing of the poor,
which is a cruel, tyrannical, and unjust dealing with inferiors [those under
your authority]… Q. What is the fourth [sin]? A. To defraud working
men of their wages, which is to lessen, or detain it from
them…” (The
Douay Catechism of 1649, Chapter 20, which is entitled The Sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance Expounded. Composed by the Catholic priest, Rev. Henry Tuberville,
D.D., later approved & recommended by the Right Rev. Benedict, Bishop of
the Diocese of Boston in the

These four sins ‘cry out to Heaven for vengeance’. Why? Because they are that horrendous
& appalling to Our Creator or any good & wise Roman Catholic.
Therefore, by their very nature, they are ABOMINABLE
and must stop and be wiped out --- sooner
rather than later. That is to say, whilst we cannot dictate to God when
to punish, He through His Church warns us His Mercy is much less, His Wrath much
greater, as concerning such sins. It reminds a well-instructed Catholic
of Jesus’ Prophecy in reference to earth’s latter days, clearly
warning of a religious rebellion to

Modern Humanity --- especially in the most
modernized & wealthy part of the earth --- commits all of the Four Sins
That Cry Out To Heaven For Vengeance with abandon, and the Terrestrial Beast
--- which is a series of anti-Catholic antipopes since the so very evil &
wicked Vatican II Pseudo-Council --- cheerleads for, and rallies the entire
world for, the Religion of Modernism, Humanity’s Self-Deification, a New
Tower of Babel that reaches for the heavens and God’s Throne, and a New
Aeon of the Sun, wherein an Ancient Dragon, Lucifer, strives one last time to
deceive everyone as if he were an ‘Angel of Light’ and, via a blood
red Oceanic Beast, lead us all into a brilliant & scintillating future, a
destiny of pantheistic self-creation & cosmic awareness.
The Abomination of Desolation is what the New
World Order powers-that-be did in eventually ‘conquering’ their
Foe, Christ & His Roman Catholic Church, under the guise of
‘updating’ Catholicism, tinkering with almost all, if not all, of
the Seven Sacraments, destroying their validity (if but through doubt as to their validity… which is enough to
destroy their validity!) and laying His Ecclesial Body in the Tomb after
It’s Hideous Crucifixion upon the Cross of Modernism at Vatican II,
thereby handing over the dedicated sanctuaries all over the world into the
hands of defiled & anti-Catholic enemies, further defiling these holy
sanctuaries with an invalid ‘eucharist’.
It is particularly epitomized with the antipopes
in St. John Lateran.
This is the Cathedral of Rome, the

Meanwhile, the Four Sins Crying Out To Heaven For
Vengeance are now all being accomplished, brazenly & blatantly, all over
the world… but especially in this part of the globe that is most
modernized, most wealthy, and most arrogant & powerful on the earth. To wit, the Anglo-American Empire (the seventh head of the blasphemous Oceanic Beast)
and their eager Modernist supporters, the other G10 currency nations.
How so?
Communist Russia ‘legalized’ abortion
for the first time in modern history in the early twentieth century. The United
States followed suit in 1973 with Roe v.
Wade --- and we saw a remarkably vicious SCOTUS nomination fight with Mr.
Brent Kavanaugh barely successfully seated as a
justice in our nation’s highest court, his opponents attacking bestially
for one reason and one reason alone: because he might overturn abortion.
Abortion is, after all, Modernism’s satanic ‘sacrament’, and it must not be halted!
Tragically, practically the whole world has followed suit, with a formerly
Catholic
Or how about the ‘sin
of
Oppressing the poor? Ouch. People in my nation
who think themselves both ‘conservative’ and Catholic (whether they really are or not) have a
bit of a problem with this one. The social justice movement amongst Catholics in
the 20th century made a big deal out of it, for reasons I’ve
already described (see Chapter 166
above). Such people, whether truly Catholic or not, can be thought a little
reckless or unwise in their politics. Doesn’t change
the truth. Our Creator does care for the poor --- warning us sternly about the results
of refusing to help them when you can and where you ought
to --- and, let us be frank, Capitalism is not exactly
‘sterling’ in its concern for the poverty stricken. Its about making as much money as you can, getting rich;
caring for the poor winds up lessening your ‘profit margin’,
supposes the shortsighted capitalist. Furthermore, if severely lacking in moral
integrity, who cares if you rip the poor off? What are they going to
do… sue you? Where are they going to get the money for the legal fees? So, affirmative. The
Um, yes, the whole modern world is very guilty of
this terrible sin. Including the Communist or Socialist
nations. They aren’t clean handed. They talk a good talk and,
admittedly, sometimes do do things that help the poor
(but not necessarily for reasons
that are admirable, or for what they claim is their sole or primary
reason…). Yet are ‘progressive’ nations guiltless of this
heinous sin? Not by a long shot. So, crying to Heaven for vengeance?
Particularly since the start of the Industrial Revolution, continuing now into
the so-called ‘gig economy’ of the 21st century? Yup.
And, last but not least, what about defrauding
workers of their wages? Again, most people --- even those styling themselves
Catholic --- are pretty clueless about what it is that constitutes this sin.
True, it is, quite straight forwardly, refusing to pay what you agreed to pay
your employee for his or her work. It’s also about refusing to pay the
‘overtime’ rate that most modern nations now enshrine in our laws. Either
amounts, vividly, to defrauding. It’s also, more subtly, the
inversion of the Natural Law that Communism ushered in, yanking women out of
the home and from the care of their children (assuming they deign to have children anymore…) and then,
insult added to injury, paying everyone as little as possible, under the
capitalist cover of what the almighty ‘market’ will bear (read: neither minimum wage laws nor
the prevailing incomes in this field of work require us to pay you more than peanuts
for your mindnumbing, body breaking, or dead end prospects job). In other
words, our Catholicism requires
employers to pay a man enough to
support his family.
Popular to say? Not nowadays. Not since feminism. Everybody
works.
Apart from domestic duties, that is. Even wives & mothers now.
Has it made some of us richer? Maybe.
Worth it? A big no.
As if mothering &
homemaking isn’t hard work, or worthy of praise. (Hint:
‘lowly’ mothering & homemaking are the foundation of a real
& humane civilization. So how important is that? Women &
mothering are equally important compared to men & fathering. Where
you work is immaterial. Your job & responsibility is what
counts.) Crying out to Heaven for vengeance? Absolutely.
Now you do the simple math.
We’re four for four. We widely do all four
sins demanding vengeance.
The Sword of Damocles
hanging over our collective global heads?
That would be a very big yes. And why… why
would this be?
Because Modern Humanity is
that ABOMINABLE.
Lucifer’s Whorish Wife --- Modernist
Humanity, the Apocalyptic Harlot --- rides a Scarlet Oceanic Beast, covered in
words of blasphemy (read:
anti-Catholicity) because she is filthy & disgusting, drinking the

guilty of murder. Murder of bodies, and murder of
souls. This is why she has written on her forehead, “A mystery:

(Or, Perched on the Precipice of the Abyss)
Now, I apologize if this upsets or angers certain
readers. Maybe some of you are real Catholics and find yourselves disagreeing
with me, even vehemently, about some things, although not infallible &
unchangeable dogmas of the One True Faith. I am sorry. I’m not trying to pick
a fight, argue a useless or uncivilized debate, or otherwise needlessly hurt
anyone’s feelings, or to be nasty, or harsh for no decent reason. But
this book is about the truth, and the website is about truth. Ergo, I would be
remiss to tell a lie.
I therefore am compelled, in my Catholic-formed
conscience, to speak thusly.
I’m not a saint --- I’m a bad Roman
Catholic --- so maybe I’m not always prudent.
Nonetheless, humility is not a virtue when, under cover of its purported
justification, individuals refuse to speak up and tell the truth about
something that is vitally imperative, something that is so big, so profound, so
central, that it has repercussions for eternity.
That’s what we’re talking about here.
I never wanted to write this book. I actually dreaded it. I kept hoping,
earnestly, that someone else would do it. I thought myself incompetent &
unworthy of doing so. For over a decade. A gnawing
thought, though, kept entering my mind, “If
I don’t write it, who will? Is there anyone on
earth willing, able to tell the truth about truth, annihilating the noxious
fumes of salvation heresy?” Which disturbed me
greatly since I love truth & hate injustice, despite my own sin.
Unexpectedly, out of the blue, the outline for this book came into my mind with
suddenness, unbidden & unsought, in a single night. I could no longer
dally.
I am under no illusions. By itself, this book
changes nothing. I’m no one.
I’ve simply done what I must. Beyond this,
it’s up to Our Triune God.
We come to a really unpleasant part of the
writing, however. Because it’s not fun. It
implicates, too, people that I care about, who are part of my own country, the
Again, I am sorry. No one likes bad news. Such
messengers are disdained. You don’t pretend to a person with cancer,
though, that he or she has no cancer. That would be a lie and --- usually ----
unthinkably cruel. Yet the Anglo-American Empire is cancerous. Very, very, very, very cancerous. Deathly
so. And spreading it all over earth.
We grappled with the Apocalyptic Harlot in the
chapters above. We ID’d her as satan’s
whorish wife. In a very real sense you can take the symbolism as a metaphor for
Modern Humanity as a whole. This is conceivable. On the other hand, we’ve
also already, much previous to this, ID’d her Scarlet-Colored Beast as
the Oceanic Beast, and thus as this Modern Humanity. This, too, is conceivable.
And, as I’ve said before, Sacred Scripture can be multi-layered. Both
interpretations could be intended by the Holy Ghost. But if to be taken as the
latter --- that the Beast is Modernist human beings all over the globe --- then
what does this make the Harlot? Correct. A smaller part of
Modernist humans. Plainly supported by Sacred Scripture itself where the
angel explains:
“And the WOMAN
which thou sawest [you saw], is the GREAT CITY, which hath kingdom [which
has the power & rule], over the KINGS
of the earth [leaders & nations all around the international globe of
earth].”
(Apocalypse [Revelation] 17:18 DRC)
Light beginning to dawn upon your
evening-encrusted mind, my precious reader?
At a bare minimum, this Apocalyptic Harlot
represents the most powerful &
wealthy portion of the earth. And we’ve already established (something I consider to be beyond dispute,
so obvious it is to the person who is truly educated and well familiar with
recent history…) how the Anglo-American Empire is THE POWER ON EARTH right now. Even if
you don’t want to buy into the ‘Anglo’ part of
‘Anglo-American’, preferring to see British Empire as utterly
‘separate’ from American Empire or Hegemony, no smart person can
dispute that the United States of America is the most powerful & wealthy
nation on earth as of this moment… and has been since the end of World
War II.

boulevards (sort of like what present day
Paris, France, did, back in the 1800s, with its wide & beautiful diagonal
boulevards cutting across great swaths of the city), it is very different
from most large cities, which usually only have one, two or three or so
diagonal streets tracing a city, if any, or are a hodge podge of odd, wandering
streets (especially if the city is

In case you don’t realize, high ranking
Freemasons see, and use, ancient astrology as crucial to undertakings on earth.
Like the ancients themselves, they see the positions of the celestial objects
above as inextricably linked to endeavors here below. Nothing in an ancient
astrology conflicts with real Catholicism, provided you don’t make this simple yet crucial mistake --- that the celestial orbs
‘influence’ human beings, events & other creatures here below,
completely vitiating human free will or our choices & efforts.
Nevertheless, are stars above “signs”
(Genesis 1:14 DRC) in the heavens, put there by God Himself? They are indeed.
Hence, while we may, as Catholics, accept, if evidence supports, the notion of
a certain degree of ‘influence’ of the heavenly bodies upon earth,
we cannot imagine or pretend that this ‘influence’ negates
human free will. Au contraire, they are
merely “signs” of what Our Creator in His Omniscience knows
from all eternity, placing said celestial orbs in their places, or in their
motions, to correlate with what is to occur on earth below,
giving the one trained in such a wisdom a means to
‘anticipate’… as it were… or ‘interpret’
what is about to happen, or is happening at the moment. So, momentous?
Indeed. From a well-trained Masonic point of view, this eclipse, and its
accompanying visible celestial orbs, forebode great success & power for
this city.
Are high ranking Freemasons, trained in ancient
astrology, really that finicky?
They surely are. Ancient astrology is intrinsic
to their religion --- and I do purposely describe it as a
‘religion’, when, in fact, they themselves, as lodges, construct
what they call ‘temples’ --- and is simply founded upon, and
grounded within, the most ancient of Egyptian & Babylonian knowledge &
practice. Perfectly so? I doubt it. Yet truly so? I firmly say,
“Yes,” having read their learned writings and studied their manuals,
etc. Accuse them of ‘delusions of grandeur’ if you will. But they
are in dead earnest.
This eclipse transpired almost smack dab in the
middle of the zodiacal month of Aries. That’s right. The Sign of the Ram, the same sign
under which Our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ was conceived, and under which
He was crucified & resurrected. Symbolism? It is indubitable. Like Egyptian
temples of old,
Intriguing? I think so, too. By the way, the
Egyptians represented Sirius with a five-pointed
star symbol, which is critical to Freemasonic symbolism, also, and is
nigh well certainly the origin of the five-pointed stars upon the American
flag, all 50 of them --- octave of octaves, so to speak,
being 7² + 1, i.e., 50, counting inclusively. Again, intriguing? To me it
is. Anyone who understands allegory can see why. Oh, incidentally… Sopdet? We kid you not. In
Egyptian it means ‘triangle’.
Additionally --- and I am not making this up ---

greatly by a gentleman named Francis Pope. Who, it is said, had the gift of

Our Creator, seek to rule the heights and steal His Throne.
Which brings us back to Virgo. As we noted,
Virgoan symbolism pervades the nation’s capitol, the capitol building
itself founded, with the laying of the cornerstone by our first president, as
the Sun shone in the Sign of Virgo. Roman Catholics might be tempted to think
this is Roman Catholic symbolism. But really? When popes have assured us that
Freemasonry is our mortal enemy, despising & hating the

scholarship seems to support, the ancient ‘Isis’ meant, in the

Beginning to get fascinating? Puzzle pieces falling together? Haters of
Catholicism, such as very conservative Evangelic Protestants --- not to mention
first & original Protestants, such as Herr Martin Luther --- liked to
accuse Christ’s Church of being the ‘whore of babylon’,
citing Roman Catholics’ veneration of God’s Mother as being
‘worship’ of Her as if She’s ‘God’. When, in fact,
of course no real Catholic for one moment thinks the Blessed Virgin Mary
is the Uncreated Creator, nor does our veneration of Her displease Him since
He Himself created Her to be Immaculate! They will often cite pre-Christian
paganism and pagan ‘mystery religions’… including things like
Isis being the Egyptian ‘queen of heaven’ as the
‘inspiration’ for veneration of Mary as the true Heavenly Queen (hence trying to vitiate its validity by
committing the logical fallacy of putting a cart before the horse), which
Modernist academics push further by taking Isis’ ‘husband’,
Osiris, and his death and ‘resurrection cult’ as if
‘inspiring’ the teaching of Jesus Christ’s Very Real
Resurrection (and thus trying to destroy
trust in Catholicism as the One True Religion via this ploy). When, in
actuality, it is satan’s strategy for anticipating, so to speak,
what was to come and undermine it by doing such…Catholic saints
assuring us that, in God revealing to Lucifer and His other countless angels,
this Queen to come, and Her Son, then sparked his rebellion.
All the while Jesus rules upon His True Throne,

Why? What’s the significance for an
astrologically inclined Freemason?
If you study astronomy, then, whilst contemporary
scholars tend to be contemptuous regarding ‘astrology’ (the biggest reason they call the
‘science’ of astronomy by their preferred term… to
wit, ‘astronomy’ instead of ‘astrology’),
contemporary astronomy nonetheless borrows heavily from words & conventions
of astrology. This goes for most, if not almost all, of the constellations of
the stars in the sky. The twelve constellations of the zodiac, for instance.
And what can we observe about the stars in the Constellation, or Sign, of
Virgo? Any decent & detailed stellar map will indicate what is usually
called the ‘spring triangle asterism’. Um hm. More triangles! Still, this
‘triangle’ of stars in Virgo? What’s the point? Any intelligent person who realizes
Sincere mayhap, yet sincerely fooled &
deluded. We are not ‘christian’ or ‘judeo-christian’.
We were never any of these things since the Roman Catholic Religion is the One

have been child-like in their belief that the US is the ‘best’ or a
‘morally good’ nation, helping the whole world become
‘better’ by imitating us, or being ‘helped out’ by us.
This is immaterial. Even if the
And we were designed to be ill-starred (from a Catholic point of view) from the
start. A bad beginning? You could say that. An unfortunate series of historical
events. My pardon to Mr. Snicket, but there’s a reason, too, we had 13
Original Colonies that became our 13 Original States. And that
this coincides with Modernist Crucifixion of God’s Roman Catholic Church,

Do you understand? 3-in-1. 3 chose 1.
And that One is Immaculate.
His triangle is askew.
+++ 176. Virgo Virginum? +++
(The Second, a Striver)
Honestly --- it is askew just ever-so-slightly.
The triangle encompassing the Federal Triangle, as L’Enfant apparently
originally designed it, was later deviated from ever-so-slightly. Only scholars
of the arcane realize this, but I trust that you can trust me enough to know
it’s true. There’s an astronomical & astrological purpose for
this, which we’ll get to in just a moment. The symbolism, an
anti-Roman-Catholic ‘parable’ told to us in a geometric way in the
capitol city of the most powerful nation on earth, is laid bare.
The Askew One is both mimicking and mocking the
Immaculate One.
The askewness is a signal for those able to read
the spiritual cipher or code.
That is to say, it looks like, and ought to be,
one would think, a ‘right’ triangle, perfectly square at one of the
three vertices. And yet it’s not. Not quite. Ever so slightly, it is out
of true square. This is the deviation of someone not properly squared while
trying to appear so. It’s a mimicker, and a mocker. Someone trying to be
an ‘angel of light’ who’s really darkness epitomized.
Nevertheless, as someone studying the Constellation of Virgo very carefully can
tell --- trying to be fair to those who
designed
Yes. Do we not read in the last book of Sacred
Scripture, the Apocalypse, how Our Creator makes “all things
new…”? (Apocalypse [Revelation] 20:5b DRC. Peruse from Verses 1-5
of Chapter 20 in the Apocalypse for fuller context.) To wit, there is the old
heavens & old earth that is swept away in His making of a New Heavens &
New Earth. And why would the old one have to be swept away? Because it is
stained with sin, evil & corruption. It’s now served its later
purpose as a crucible for human flesh & souls, along with the flesh
& souls of other creatures, too, but always centered upon humanity,
for being in the Image of Our Maker. Ergo why we read of massive battle between
two celestial armies in Apocalypse 12:7-9. The sin touched even the heavens.
Catholic Theology teaches us that, as part of
their various duties, amongst the nine different choirs or
‘species’ (so to speak)
of the good angels, they are, many of them, assigned to watch over the visible
creation. Some Catholics have opined --- and this is permissible --- that,
given the vast number of angels God has made, per many Scholastic theologians
& early Church fathers, then, in all likelihood, there is an angel for every
star above, watching over it. The point? If stars are signs in the
heavens, as God through Holy Mother Church via Sacred Scripture assures us in
Genesis (see the previous chapter if not
remembering this), then every star can reveal to us something about
God, His creation, us and the past, present or future. And when one third of
these angels followed Lucifer into a rebellion, losing their celestial war,
there is no reason not to suppose that some, if not every one of those fallen
angels, were assigned, or linked, to a star. Again, the point?
We mentioned before how the Blessed Virgin Mary
is the damnable rebel Lucifer’s replacement. He was the ‘light
bearer’ until he revolted. She is the Light Bearer, and shall be
forevermore. Per the saints, he committed that pernicious rebellion upon
learning that She would surpass him, becoming God’s Immaculate Throne.
Where, then, would you expect the ‘sign’ for this evil to be in the
heavens? Right. In the Sign of Virgo.
Do you recall a Golden Ratio and the ϕ-hypotenuse
right triangles of the Great Pyramid? Of how the Blessed Virgin Mary is this
Golden Mean of ϕ and God’s ‘Great Pyramid of
Perfection’, as it were, personified? We looked at this in great depth in
Chapter 153 of Helplessly Ignorant.
Recall? This is the Immaculate. Satan tries to ‘skew’ this Sign.
To the upper left of Virgo… as seen from
the earth… is the fourth brightest of stars in the sky (again, discounting two of the planets),
Arcturus. It is red, and, one may suppose, this is why the ‘spring
triangle asterism’ is not quite square (the triangular asterism consists of Arcturus, Spica &
Regulus). A ‘sign’? I would say definitely. Strictly speaking,
the star of Arcturus is part of the Constellation of Boötes, not Virgo.
Hence, the stellar triangle is not totally within Virgo. And the part that is
outside is in the aforesaid Boötes. Which in Greek means, by the way,
literally, the ‘ox driver’, and, figuratively, the
‘herdsman’ or ‘plowman’. So, if intended to be a right
triangle, this is why it’s not quite ‘right’.
Meaning? That
the ox driver or plowman has gone astray. Just a little…
And yet anything out of true is utterly
reprehensible in Heaven.
It’s also what a faker does to try to
remain angelic looking.
In the meantime, to the lower left of
Virgo is Serpens Caput. Which
is the Latin, incidentally, for Serpent
Head. The Serpent striking for
the Virgin’s Heel, anyone? Immaculate Mary crushing his Head, of
course. Serpens Caput’s brightest luminary is another red star, Alpha Serpentis. While to the
lower right of Virgo is Hydra,
the Greek for a monstrous, many-snake-headed & serpentine sea beast.
Do you once more detect a smell of
sulfur? If Lucifer was ever assigned, or linked, to a star, it was
certainly Alpha Serpentis. And a third of Heaven’s angels following him
is definitely a Hydra, further representing all those of humanity who choose to
believe his religious lies and follow satan into damnation. The sealing
‘sign’ of this is, as it were, Arcturus.
That he was assigned to drive the ox, so to speak, and has deviated from his
duties. Wherefore, rebelliously, many other angels became demonic snakes,
imitating him. It’s all in the heavens if ever you bother to look at the
night sky. For those with eyes wide open.
Consequently, any wonder that serpentine men
would design the national capitol of Lucifer’s Oceanic Beast’s seventh head with
this symbolism in mind? To them, at least, invoking great
celestial & supernatural power and the omen of a highly successful future? And would it not be a
visible & geometric way to say, in plain sight --- but only for
those with eyes to see, mainly those in league with them --- that they now
expect to rule? That is, sit in a ‘throne’ which they’ve
erected, pretending to be what they are not? Precisely.
That’s the whole point of this. Factual? Yes. Logical? Yes. Utterly
certain? No.
Except that it’s backed up by the Catholic
Church (that Lucifer is our enemy and has servants in the
flesh on earth), heavenly signs (which
go back for thousands of years, not
something made up in just the past few years or decades…), and
scholarly study (all facts available in public documentation should you
care to look, not fake news sources or the endless viral memes passed around
the cloud via social media, sites or apps). All this, and simple logic,
piecing a puzzle together. With, maybe, just a wee bit of inspiration.
The point is, there is a reason for these things.
And for real Roman Catholics, this is a reasonable explanation, a reasonable
interpretation of what we find to be true. Moreover, should this explanation
not be the case --- right interpretation --- what is? Let’s hear it.
This is the Great Apostasy and, for the few
Catholics around, we must prepare.
Prepare our hearts and minds and souls for what
is still to be done.
Whether blessing or suffering, it behooves us to
be ready.
And to seek maximum benefit in what we undergo.
How may we do that to the fullest extent without a better comprehension?
Indeed, without us being just like it was at first when the Apostasy broke out
completely into the open with the close of Vatican II, when, mayhap, no real
Catholics yet subsisted (although I
wouldn’t bet on that, happily willing to find firm & repeated
evidence to the contrary, however bantam it may have been…); and,
whether they did or not, surely hardly anyone --- if anyone --- was able to see
& comprehend hardly at all… if at all. Shall we continue to be like
that? Or, rather, how about we become like our dear St. Samuel, finally
prepared, when Our Maker calls, he responding with a firm, “Speak, Lord, for thy servant
heareth [your servant hears].”
He at first had three times woken the pope (high
priest) to see what he wanted. Who at the third instance at last realized what
was happening and told Samuel, in spite of papal failings otherwise, how to
reply correctly and to Whom he spoke. Samuel obeyed.
Whereupon the Triune God of the Roman Catholic
Religion then rejoindered:
“Behold [you
see], I do a thing in Israel
[the Roman Catholic Church, for
those Catholics living now, during the New Testament after Jesus
Christ’s Eternal Sacrifice upon the Cross at Calvary Hill]: AND WHOSOEVER SHALL HEAR IT, BOTH HIS
EARS SHALL TINGLE [whoever hears
about what I’m going to do, it will cause him or her to be amazed and to react with appropriate gravity, knowing
that this is Our Lord’s Wholly
Just Punishment].” (1 Kings [Samuel] 3:10d, 11b-d DRC)
Read all of 1 Kings 3:1-15 for a fuller context.
Meanwhile, please realize that what Almighty God told to St. Samuel, little boy
though he be, was a most solemn judgment upon the pope of that time, the high
priest of the Old Testament Church, or ‘synagogue’, as theologians
& early Church fathers like to call it. A solemn prophecy that, since
earlier warnings & divine instructions were NOT ever properly heeded --- that is, proper action taken to
appease God’s Just Wrath --- then Heli & his sons, the popes
to be if not chastised, would every one of them suffer accordingly and be
brought to an end.
Period. A divine sentence indeed carried out, as
study of 1 Kings makes clear.
Do you see the parallel with our times? There are
many such instructive episodes, displayed more thoroughly in the book,
Inter Regnum,
as posted this year in the
Books & Articles section of The Epistemologic Works. This is one example I
saved for this book, Helplessly Ignorant.
Because, yes, our leaders can be remiss, will occasionally disobey, displeasing
Our Lord to the degree that He strikes them down, shocking all who see it.
We should be morally shocked, as
Catholics. But NOT morally unhinged or blind.
We must open our eyes and begin to see straight,
hear right, and act accordingly.
If real Catholics, we must strive to be like
the Immaculate, however unworthy.
Our incompetence is no excuse, with Her to aid
us. We must simply obey.
Blindly following wicked leaders --- and
magnifying our blindness ten times over by following wicked and false leaders (read: NOT
truly Roman Catholic Whole, Entire & Undefiled, having revealed foul
anti-Catholicity both notoriously & pertinaciously) --- is forbidden. Real Roman Catholics
are commanded to obey rationally NOT
irrationally. A notoriously & pertinaciously anti-Catholic
‘leader’ is NO leader at
all. While real leaders with valid jurisdiction, yet openly & explicitly commanding us to commit mortal sin is NEVER GROUNDS FOR DOING WHAT ANY OPENLY
WICKED LEADER ‘COMMANDS’. End of sentence. The Church never obliges a
blind obedience; She requires us, according to our capabilities,
to obey rationally. Again, period. There is no excuse either,
after enough time to get it right and comprehend. Now is the time. As my
earthly name’s sake exhorted Catholics in
“ For he saith: ‘In an accepted time
have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold,
NOW is the acceptable time; behold, NOW is the day of salvation.’”
(2 Corinthians 6: 2 DRC)
In other words, let us not dilly dally. Enough time has gone
by in God’s Scourging of our wicked world, during the Great Apostasy,
that we no longer have much… if any… excuse left. We are no
longer able to be so very ‘inculpable’ in our ignorance. And
adequately intelligent human beings after
the First Advent of Christ are thus wholly
culpable in their sin when among the many who never seek to find visible
salvation in a divinely & purposefully visible
Catholic Church before they die.
End of paragraph. So where does this leave us,
religiously & morally speaking?
Right where we were before. Viz., we must as real
Catholics strive to imitate
and neverendingly follow the Blessed
& Immaculate Ever-Virgin Mary. There is NO alternative path to Heaven, and there never was as a TRUE Roman Catholic. It’s only
become inexorable & inarguable for he or she who has eyes to see, now,
today. She is our ONLY HOPE.
Not an imaginary hero in a movie franchise. Not liberal Modernist fantasies
presented to us as what a woman is; which is, that a woman is not a
woman & men not men. There are innumerable and uncircumscribable
‘genders’ we see now. This is the lie of a fallen angel, with one
penultimate chance left. This is a nigh well desperate attempt on his part,
whether or not given 100 years of unrestrained freedom, trying to lull all of
humanity into his nefarious manger, a false ‘christ’ masquerading
under the guise of a real ‘christianity’ or real
‘catholicism’ when it’s just the same thing repeatedly…
viz., NOT what Our Creator has commanded or taught, and certainly NOT Her.
So how do we follow the Immaculate One? How do we
strive for Her?
First, we are Roman Catholic Whole, Entire &
Undefiled. Period.
Second, we refuse to feign ‘religious
unity’ with non-Catholics.
Third, we learn to pray Her Rosary daily, at a
bare minimum.
Fourth, we bear pains, temptations &
persecutions stolidly.
And fifth, we persevere unto the supposedly
‘bitter’ end.
Apart from the first & second points ---
learning how to be Roman Catholic for real and not just a title we choose to
sport, learning also how to identity non-Catholics, especially those insisting
that they’re ‘catholic’ but really not and it’s
obvious, thus also refusing, as if ‘polite’, to pretend to worship
with them or be on the same side, religiously --- the final & fifth point
is most critical. As in, “You can’t begin to have a solid hope of
salvation if not truly Roman Catholic to begin with, and you cannot make it
rock solid if you don’t learn to identity those who are obvious fakes and
avoid them religiously.” Who do you love more? Yourself or the Triune
Catholic God? Then become truly Catholic and so avoid acting or talking like
fake ‘catholics’ are the real thing! Yet having done so
successfully, how will we save our souls as good Catholics if we don’t persevere?
How indeed. For Our Lord & Savior, Jesus
Christ, told us plainly in the Gospel:
“And you shall be hated by all men [the great majority of humanity]
for my name’s sake: but he [any
human being who’s truly Roman Catholic] THAT SHALL PERSEVERE UNTO THE END, he shall be saved.” (Matthew 10:22 DRC)
As well, in answering His disciples’
questions about our world’s coming end, Jesus says:
“But he that shall PERSEVERE to the end, he shall be saved.” (Matthew 24:13 DRC)
Understand? It’s a very, very, very simple
principle… PERSEVERE TO THE END.
But the third point about, at a bare minimum,
praying Her Holy Rosary daily?
We addressed this in some detail in Chapter 153
of Helplessly Ignorant.
It’s Her Ladder to Heaven, a more sure way of saving our souls.
Yet only if we become truly Catholic. There is no
‘loophole’.
And the fourth, regarding enduring our trials
patiently?
I’ve only two things to say in order to
encourage you. One, proclaim your utter worthlessness and throw yourself upon
Our Heavenly Mother’s Mercy, begging Her to assist you, cleansing &
disciplining you, thereby fashioning in you a clean heart and a right spirit
within your bowels. (This is straight
from Psalm 50, by the way, that is, the penitential psalm par excellence.)
In this way you show your humility. For if great & holiest of saints
proclaimed themselves ‘vile worms’ --- and they did, routinely ---
the most worthless of all… well, how much more ought we? And two, take a
look at me. And then think to yourself, “He is the last person on earth
you’d expect to become Catholic. A very vile sinner, too. The worst of
the worst. If Our Creator can make him Catholic from out of nowhere,
unexpectedly, then why not me?
And if he can persevere for years now, solely by Our Lady’s Assistance
& Her Son’s Graces, undeserved, then
why can’t I?”
You can’t get any more pathetic &
repulsive of a worm than I, revealing true hope.
For yourself, that is. If a real Roman Catholic.
And striving for the Immaculate.
Only a striver --- only the persevering --- can
save his or her soul in the end.
+++ 177. Virgo Virginum? +++
(The Third, an Immaculate)
Bringing us right into Her Arms, the Arms of Our
Immaculate Mother in Heaven.
And the Sign of Virgo. Remember that? As in
Heaven, so on earth. The old heavens cannot endure any more than an old earth.
When both are finished, they will disappear, with a New Heavens & New Earth
in their place, all blots & blemishes eradicated. Yet till then, with God
having placed Her Sign among the stars, those who have eyes to see will see,
finding perfection. We ‘see’ with our mental eyes. But the Sign is
always visible.
She, the Virgin, is God’s Means to usher
this New Heavens & New Earth into existence. The Blessed Ever-Virgin Mary
is the beginning of a New Creation. All of Her children are to be like Her,
inheriting the New Creation to come. In Her Divine Son, He Who is Firstborn (read: preeminent) of All Creatures, the
King of Kings. (Colossians 1:15)
Nevertheless, only & always through Her. Which is why we may

It is a little known thing, amongst those who are
not professional & highly educated astronomers, that Virgo is unique in the
heavens. Or ‘deep space’ or ‘intergalactic’ part of our
universe, as they would be more likely to say it. What’s so special about
Virgo? It has got, amongst all directions from our earth to see into the sky,
the largest concentration of ‘clusters’ --- a
‘supercluster’ --- astronomers can study with the latest of
instruments.
And what is a supercluster, etc.? Is it similar to
a ‘flashmob’? No, it’s just a pedestrian term that
astronomers use to describe aggregations of galaxies. And, since poor readers
may or may not adequately understand the academic lingo, a galaxy used to be
called a ‘nebula’, until more recent astronomers came to believe
the latter were often hugely vast collections of millions or billions of stars.
Can they actually count the number of stars in them with that kind of
precision? No, neither their instruments always that powerful, nor their time
& ability to count such a gigantic number of stars always up to the
challenge. It’s guesswork. Sometimes spiral, usually spinning, galaxies
come in all sorts of shapes, qualities & sizes. But when
‘clustered’ together in massive structures, they become an even
bigger thing. That’s right, clusters or superclusters. How mammoth? Well,
these astronomers like to tout that the Milky Way Galaxy (our own, say they, in which we reside) has 100 billion stars or
so, and the universe could hold 100 billion galaxies.
Plausible? As far as I can tell. And Catholics can
argue for innumerable angels. Therefore, if every angel or resident of Heaven
really does have a corresponding star, inconceivable
that it would number above trillions or quadrillions? Not really. In any
case, it’s a lot of stars. Astronomers have found galaxies are
distributed in a ‘flattened disk’, circling the entire sky around
the earth. This seems to coincide, pretty neatly, with the ecliptic. Which is?
The nearly flat plane, girdling the earth, in which the sun, moon & planets
appear to move through the heavens, that is, about 5° wide. There being
360° in a circle total, that’s really flat. The fraction of ‘1
divided by 72’ type of flatness. Yes, sir.
Essentially flat. Now the Zodiac follows the
ecliptic, in spite of being wider than it. Accordingly, the center of the band
of the Zodiac follows the thinner line of the ecliptic. Meaning, since Virgo is
one of Twelve Constellations on the Zodiac, a huge mass of the heavens’
galaxies are superclustered in the Constellation of Virgo. It means, too, that
this particularly congested part of a universal disk of galaxies is also
basically, from our point of view, upon the ecliptic and thus within the Sign
of Virgo. Can this be mere chance?
You know I’m not going to say that.
A wise Catholic has finite room for ‘chance’.
Yet why? Because every queen must have her
courtesans, servants, ministers and so forth, ready to serve her. And, because,
in the case of an Immaculate
Queen of Heaven Who is the Mother of God, then She is, by definition, the greatest of God’s
creatures and most worthy of
our highest admiration, veneration & honor. She is a Celestial Queen, the Real & Actual One, not
imposters or phonies like Isis, Ishtar, Inanna, Esther (Persian star goddess, not the saintly Jewess & Persian
queen), Astoreth, and countless others. Getting it? This really is the
Blessed Ever-Virgin Mary’s Sign
in Heaven. Ergo:
The superclustered galaxies are a Sign of Her
Heavenly Prerogatives.
This puts a huge dent (and even if they don’t want to admit it…) into the
cosmological part of the Darwinian project, which revolves around Einsteinian
physics for the better part of the last century. Before the Big Bang Theory
started becoming dominant around the 1960s, most scientists favored, arguably,
the ‘Steady State Theory’. That is to say, they thought the
universe is infinite and, even if ‘expanding’, a mostly homogeneous
mass of matter, spontaneously creating matter everywhere and everywhen at a
very modest yet steady pace (hence
the name of their pet theory...), keeping everything cohesive &
plausible. So they liked to believe; not know with
‘factualness’.
Actually, there are serious logical flaws in the
theory. Just as there are in their very beloved Darwinian evolutionary
hypothesis. The thing embarrassing to such Darwinist thinkers, if aware or made
aware of it, is that scientists bought into Steady State Theory because they first
believed in Darwinism… and hence an ‘eternal’ universe
that never had a beginning is just the thing. Just the thing for an
‘infinite’ amount of time, letting chance do something amazing.
Such as form complex life randomly. The steadiness, therefore? Making sure
nothing upsets the apple cart over time. Just steady stability.
Perfect for cooking up evolutionary life! After a
few billion or trillion or, maybe, quadrillion years. There’s no end of
time, after all, is there? Yet all this not
because observational data demanded it, but because their philosophic
assumptions decreed it. From
on high… or, er, a very homogeneous low… it is so decreed. Tricky, eh?
As is their father in religion, the devil. Notwithstanding, they’ve an
even more embarrassing and all-threatening problem facing them. Not that most
of them know it. This one is even more conveniently hidden from their rather
myopic sight. But it involves Virgo, too. God’s True Virgin has
astonishingly large hosts of heaven around Her. These hosts are also, from an
astronomical perspective, incredibly energetic and super fast red-shifted.
The red shifts are quantized as well --- a hideous inexplicableness to
Darwinists.
That is, if you measure the ‘red
shift’ of far away celestial objects, you’re measuring frequency
lines in the spectra of the objects. We know from laboratory measurements how
particular elements or compounds shine or ‘absorb’ light at various
wavelengths. Thus, in looking at the spectra of far away objects, we can tell
if, in relation to us, these objects are moving more toward us or, conversely,
moving more away… at least, never moving toward us, even if not away
from us. The upshot? This is called red shift or its counterpart, blue
shift. Blue means it’s coming toward you, the frequency lines going
higher in frequency than they should be, were it not moving to you. And this
higher frequency always meaning shorter wavelength, which in turn means
‘bluer’ appearing. We can measure the shift and estimate how fast
it’s moving at us. Whereas, if red shift, then the exact opposite, or
nearly so. The frequency lines shift to lower frequencies and longer
wavelength, which means it gets ‘redder’ appearing. So-called
‘quasars’ are really good at this. They seem to pour out more
energy than we can imagine how --- insanely huge amounts of energy! --- and
seem to be among the fastest objects in our universe, their red shift tending
toward ‘light speed’ to varying degrees. Again, the upshot?
The red shifts of quasars is strangely quantized.
Their shifts come at regular intervals, instead of spread smoothly or randomly
across the board. For a cosmological Darwinist, this is terribly discomforting.
How to explain the quantization? Most
astronomers, likely, know little or nothing about this phenomenon. How come? To
start, they’re not looking for it. It’s off their radar. But, if
confronted with the professional evidence, they seek to blithely dismiss it; or
invent a new, untested & unlikely theory in order to not feel like they
should examine it more carefully; or else angrily or nonchalantly denounce data
upholding it as ‘wrong’, while not lifting a finger to fairly weigh
the data as it is, or to closely retest it and find out whether it can be
further substantiated or not. And so they play the charade of political
hardball, not allowing their peers to publish professionally when they take
this phenomenon seriously, curious to figure it out. This is verboten.
In the meantime, can we find a good explanation
for this unsettling phenomenon?
Consider. Pretty much everyone on earth,
centuries ago, was geocentrist, not heliocentrist. Recollect this from Helplessly Ignorant in Chapter 85? We
treated it in passing, showing how it paved the way for our modernized world,
along with many other things, to become as ‘modern’ as it is today.
Geocentrists presumed the whole cosmos to revolve around the earth at the
center of everything. Heliocentrists claimed the planets (including earth) revolve around the sun, the rotation of the earth
making it look like everything else revolves around us. How did it come to be
accepted, paving the way for our more ‘acentric’ view presently?
Was it ‘proved’ rigorously? Patently not for cautious thinkers and
truly open minds. As our powers-that-be teach us, the great physicist, Albert
Einstein, demonstrated all motion in our cosmos to be ‘relative’.
Relative to what? Why whatever you choose your ‘frame of reference’
to be. If the earth, then in relation to us. Whereas, if elsewhere (such as the sun), then relative to it.
It matters not. Only believe unquestioningly the dogma of acentrism --- there
is no center, no absolute frame of reference.
But why is this dogma so important to the Religion of Modernism?
When taught to students or the public at large,
it’s framed (no pun
intended…) as a wonderful dose of ‘humility’. As in, we
are so much more ‘humble’ today, we moderns knowing how the earth
is in no place ‘central’… and nothing special about us…
in the universe. This, incidentally, is hogwash. I remember reading some years
back, in the esoteric literature of astronomy, how the universe is demonstrably
anisotropic. To wit, even modern scientists know very well, from their perspective,
that the universe has a real axis, and hence a ‘center’. But all in
accordance with non-geocentric opinion, the earth having nothing to do with
this axis. The universe just happens to have one. Hm, thought I, not even
geocentrist yet back then. “So there is a frame of reference more
absolute.” Will a modernist astronomer admit this point? Not really.
They’d quibble, additionally, with how I’ve framed this annoying
point (okay, pun intended there).
What is the point, though? If motion is relative,
then you can’t ‘prove’ acentrism.
All the motions of the celestial bodies in the
heavens above are ‘relative’ to earthlings down here below. Frame
it how you will. You can either view it heliocentrically or else acentrically (that there is no center to anything in the
universe, you’ll recall). It amounts to the same thing: that earth is
NOT at the center of everything. Yet in a world of relative motion?
Merely reverse the relative
motions and hypothesize that it is inverse
to acentric motion. Doesn’t much matter. You can still have a model with
formulas to predict all the same motions, relative to us on earth, that
predicts these relative motions. ‘Center’ or ‘no
center’ is immaterial in this case. The respective models, if done
smartly & accurately, will always predict the relative motions
adequately to whatever degree desired. Viz., acentrism is no more
‘proven’ by their model being ‘simpler’ or
‘accurate’ than is Tychonian geocentrism (often called ‘geocentricity’).
Neither is proven this way.
You either have to forego knowing which is the
‘real’ way or find another way.
Yet is there another way? There is indeed.
The Church in the 1600s never ‘forbade’ heliocentrism altogether.
Her leaders then simply told Catholic intellectuals never to pretend the theory
is ‘proven’ true (and seems
to contradict Sacred Scripture, as well as millennia of mostly dominant
geocentric belief amongst all human beings). You may use, they said, the
formulas of heliocentrism if these seem easier for calculations. Just
don’t pretend it’s proven true because of the simplicity or
accuracy of these calculations for motions of the celestial bodies. (By the way, the ‘phases of
Venus’ or ‘stellar parallax’ cannot ‘prove’
geocentrism is wrong, since, in it’s most accurate form of a Tychonian
geocentrism, these are explained by relative motion just as easily. Namely, the
whole universe turns upon our sun, the sun in turn revolving about the earth
annually, God having set this in motion to start.) This, at least, was
their position at first (I haven’t had
time to study it in depth enough, but it could be the Hierarchy a little later
ruled more authoritatively that heliocentrism could not be absolutely true).
Barring further withy evidence, or an infallible definition on it from the
Church’s Hierarchy, that’s how it stands. Ah, but is there now
further evidence? Delicious irony, yes. Yes, there is.
The evidence came by the latter part of the
1800s. In Ohio, of all places.
The infamous ‘Michelson-Morley’
experiment. In 1887, to be exact.
Why is this important? Scientists of that time
had accepted heliocentrism as ‘fact’. Consequently, they had no
reason to expect the experiment to result in anything other than a successful
detection of what they called the ‘aether wind’. (Light had been proven to be a ‘wave’
in the century previous, hence, like any wave-transmitted phenomenon, it should
travel slower in a direction against motion of the medium itself,
like other waves, as opposed to the direction with motion.) I.e., an
‘aether wind’ was like boats moving against the
water’s motion and detecting a difference between speed of
water waves with a boat’s motion and water waves against,
or transverse to, the water’s motion. I mean, the earth moves around the
sun at an average velocity of 66,600 miles per hour, right? (Yes, that number again… once
more, I’m not making this up!) And a rotation speed of about 1,000
miles per hour at the equator, dropping to zero at each of the poles, correct?
Yes, that’s what they believe. As a result, there ought to a fairly big aether
wind! Relatively speaking, of course. The tools & technology of the time
were just good enough to devise an ingenious experiment, built by the
aforementioned Mr. Michelson & Mr. Morley, in a basement at what was then
called Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. It split a bright light
that, employing a half-silvered mirror, then sent the two originating beams in
a perpendicular reflection pattern that intersected themselves, or
‘interfered with’, each other at a culminating point. The light-carrying
aether wind should slow up the one beam slightly, compared to an incredibly fast
speed of light, causing an interference ‘fringe’ for the scientists
to carefully observe. Try as hard as they might, Michelson & Morley could
find no such expected interference ‘fringe shifts’. And…
there’s your problem. As well as your explanation. By the 19th
century, no scientist was left who could dare to think differently. For it did NOT get null results, simply results
way lower
than expected.
See the distinction? Later, even better tests in
the 1900s gave similar findings.
Late 19th century scientists proposed
either partial ‘aether dragging’ or else complete aether dragging,
thereby trying to dispense with the ‘null’ results. This is the only thing they were willing or
able to embrace; the thought of a stationary
earth, with lots of aether whirling around it at a significantly reduced speed,
was ‘unthinkable’. Yet as some clever people have observed, had
this experiment been done circa AD 1500, then all intelligent scholars back
then would have considered it a resounding confirmation
of stationary terrestrial conditions! Savvy? This is why Einstein came up with
the theory he did.
To wit, the Special Theory of Relativity. And, in
it, he magically dispensed with the supposed ‘need’ for a
light-bearing substance called the ‘luminiferous aether’, through
which light --- or ‘electromagnetic radiation’ as scientists had
realized by then --- waves, he & other scientists of the time gradually
decreeing light is somehow ‘self-propagating’. Proven? No. Interpreted as such? Yes. And all because the earth must move, and there must be NO such thing as an earth-centered universe in
reality or absolute frames of
reference. Consequently, scientists both then & now will happily
revel in near-light speeds that, for the thing going this fast relative to us, cause time to
slow to a stop, lengths to contract to zero, and mass inflate toward infinity.
Do you understand?
This is how badly they want earth to move!
Conscious choice or not, they chose.
Meanwhile, I can remember… even in my days
at a university, before I
became a geocentrist or converted to Catholicity… pointing out to fellow
students how Albert Einstein’s daring (or
should we say desperate?) theory of relativity could have just as
well been named the theory of a
constant. For what has the brilliant Mr. Einstein done? That’s
correct. He elevated light from a truly waving thing through a medium that it
can wave in --- thus subject to changes in speed --- to a hallowed constant that is invariant. That is, the velocity of
light NEVER changes its speed REGARDLESS of one’s frame of reference.
Comparatively still? You measure light to be the UNCHANGING speed it ALWAYS
is. Going near the speed of light? You measure light to be moving at this SAME UNCHANGING VELOCITY. It is a
universal ‘speed limit’. Yet really necessary? Absolutely (no
pun intended). The earth MUST
NEEDS move.
Light is now the center of the universe.
Former ‘light bearer’ wins.
For that’s what the name
‘lucifer’ means, right? Right. He was God’s light bearer,
overseeing the transmission of light from the moment God said, “Be light
made…” (Genesis 1:3b DRC) This is my logical guess, leastwise. It
makes sense. In any case, notice how
Lucifer takes center stage in all of this? A stationary earth is no longer the absolute frame of reference. The speed of light now is. This is how Lucifer wins this battle in academia, light decreed to
be a universal constant, with time dilation, mass inflation & length
contraction as the necessary results. Comprehending?
It’s not impossible to poke holes in his
theory, though. However brilliant (and
Mr. Einstein was indeed brilliant, contributing to the formation of quantum
mechanics, a logical explanation of Brownian motion, and figuring out how the
photoelectric effect works, for instance), his sacrosanct theory of
relativity is not actually unquestionable. E.g., the ‘twin
paradox’. Rocket away one twin at near light speed to a relatively far
distant star, returning he or she to earth decades later. The other twin stayed
home. Meeting again on earth, one is old and near death, the other still young.
Hence ‘paradoxical’. Yet why
does it work in only one way? Why not vice versa?
After all, there is no absolute frame of
reference. From the traveling twin’s frame of reference and
perspective, hasn’t the earth receded at near light speed, then
come back nearly at light speed? Yes. So WHY doesn’t the paradox work in REVERSE, with the earth’s twin still extremely young, and the
star-traveling twin now a very old man? That would be truly paradoxical. Instead, Einsteinian relativists never
think about it. And if confronted with the paradoxical contradiction, they wave
their hands and… hey, presto! Contradiction miraculously gone. Earth is,
despite claims otherwise, an absolute frame of reference.
Only the rocket twin actually travels; the earth really does, in
reference to him, stay still. But if it’s all relative, why? Why is his motion the only one that counts? There is
no reason. It’s mere preference. And contradictions be… well, put
in a nasty place that modernists don’t like to believe in. You can close
your eyes willfully. It’s irrelevant. Not recognizing the intrinsic
contradiction and blithely choosing earth’s reference as
‘absolute’ whilst claiming all motion is ‘relative’ is
called cheating.
We can go on with more logical flaws. Yet this
isn’t a book about relativity.
It’s about truth, and how moderns really
don’t want to believe in the truth. So badly they’ll blindly or
purposely reject the evidence of a very modest aether wind and the
much-lower-than-they-expected interference fringe shift. Perhaps most
scientists of the time were truly puzzled, blind to the stationary earth
implications. A few of them, though, Einstein included, were intelligent enough
and honest enough (almost…) to
recognize the implications of an unmoving earth. Then dismiss it with horror,
barely mentioning such horrifying thoughts. Thoughts that scholars in 1500
would have taken at face value, recognizing the proof for what it is. Because
they had no giant axe to grind.
Later scientists, however, converted to
heliocentrism? That’s different.
Now they’ve got a chip on their shoulders
with eyes firmly closed.
Ah, but how does this link to rushing quasars and
Virgo?
A few brave scientists --- and not Catholic,
either! --- have followed the data where it leads in the past three to five
decades. Frozen out by their peers for the most part, they’ve brazenly
studied these quasars and faced facts. Well, mostly. They still cling to the
theory of relativity and all that. They find a way, they’d like to
believe, to ‘explain’ it according to Modernist dogma. But at least
they document the facts and haven’t flinched there.
And the facts are facts… quasars
only seem to ‘rush away from us’ at incredibly & ludicrously
much-nearer-to-light-speeds, their red shifts strangely quantized. That is to
say, these red shifts keep falling into specific amounts, at designated points.
It’s as if the sky above us really is separated into distinct celestial
spheres, the stars above all spinning around the earth. This idea is just
as unbelievably horrifying to them as their less courageous peers. Hence they
reject the implications. The point remains.
Had scholars in AD 1500 saw the data,
they’d draw the conclusion:
THAT THE EARTH IS STATIONARY AT THE CENTER
OF THE UNIVERSE, WITH STARS ABOVE WHIRLING AROUND US AT THE DIVINELY-APPOINTED CONCENTRIC
DISTANCES OR ‘CELESTIAL SPHERES’.
Shocking? Only to the uninitiated. Impossible?
Only for one with Modernist bias.
You can find quasars in lots of places throughout
the heavens. The Sign of Virgo isn’t peculiar in that respect. But since
quasars seem to be at the core of galaxies, with Virgo possessing a mammoth
supercluster with at least 47,000 galaxies (so
they guesstimate without actually knowing… it’s just a whole lot of
galaxies), then you can find tons & tons of quasars in Virgo when you
search hard enough with powerful enough telescopes, it being ‘radio
telescopes’ that make this kind of detection possible, the quasars
sending out vast amounts of energy at these frequencies, red shifted down to
radio frequency. Quantized red shifts are always assumed by these
scientists to mean ‘rushing away’. Logically, though,
‘angular momentum’ (the
heavens revolve around the earth) is equivalent to red shifting the light
of these revolving things (because, in
dynamic terminology, the light would be red shifted due to the perpendicular
motion of the heavenly ‘spheres’, concentrically more & more as
we go up the celestial ‘shells’).
Shocking? Again, only for the one with decidedly Modernist bias firmly in hand.
For a real & wise Catholic, the thought is clearly rational and fits the hard data.
In other words, such a real Catholic has no
gigantic Modernist axe to grind.
Remember what we learned in Chapter 85, though.
The phases of Venus or stellar parallax are NOT ‘proof’ of heliocentrism or acentrism. Astronomer
Tycho Brahe grappled with newly arisen heliocentrism and proposed a solution
that still can work today, with presently ascertained facts faced squarely.
Viz., planets revolve around the sun due to its greater mass &
gravitational attraction (this handily
explains the phases of Venus, by the way, if you’re paying close
attention…). However, the entire universe also revolves around the
sun (thereby explaining stellar
parallax, incidentally), but not due to the sun’s
gravitational attraction. Rather, because Our Creator set it up that way to
begin, the whole mass of the universe itself gravitationally bound
together as a whole, this mass revolving about its purposefully
sun-centered axis. Then, this
gravitational whole whirls around the earth at perfect center.
Impossible? Actually not. Brilliant minds in the past century or so (and not necessarily geocentrists!) have
studied it mathematically --- for instance, the renowned Austrian
physicist, Ernst Mach, for
whom ‘mach speeds’ or multiples of the speed of sound, are named
--- confirmed that both
heliocentrism & geocentrism produce the fictitious centrifugal or
‘Coriolis force’ equally,
if distant universal mass is treated like a massive shell, calculating accordingly. It’s simply
‘unthinkable’ for the Modernist mind as a result of predetermined
assumptions.
In the meantime, Michelson-Morley type
experimental data and quantized quasar red shift values are HARD EVIDENCE for the unthinkable ---
that geocentricity, as drawn above, is more than adequately up to the job,
so to speak, of explaining relative universal motion, as well as fitting
with the actual experimental or observational data. There is tons more
evidence, too. It’s simply that this isn’t meant to be a book about
geocentricity. I’ve only mentioned it in some detail because we’ve
a mystery to explain as well… a mystery of iniquity. Of
very bad sentient creatures thinking & doing what they ought not to do. This is all part of a Luciferian Aeon of
the Sun and Oceanic Beast, of evil incarnate.
We cannot see because we don’t wish to see.
Ignorance of this type is culpable.
What I’ve revealed thus far in this chapter,
or earlier chapters of Helplessly
Ignorant, isn’t ‘impossible’ to be true. It’s
shocking to the Modernist mind, granted. And I don’t pretend to be
‘infallible’ apart from presenting the Roman Catholic
Church’s Infallible Dogmas. Hence, I’m open to being proven wrong
with hard facts & solid logic. But I don’t care as long as I care
about the truth above all things, this in turn grounded in Roman Catholic love
for Our Maker above all things, Who is Author of Truth.
Meanwhile, evidence is hard and logic sound,
needing to be taken seriously.
A great battle rages in heaven and on earth. It
revolves around the Fallen Angel & Immaculate Woman. God has placed the
signs for it in the heavens. He has revealed under parable the same in the
Apocalypse, especially in Chapters 11, 12 & 13. Where everyone can read
about “…a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon
under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars…”
(Apocalypse 12:1b-d DRC) While parable, it does not lend itself easily to
heliocentrism or acentrism. Geocentrically, though? Handily. The moon is the
first sphere of heaven, gravitationally linked, notwithstanding, to the earth.
Upon this sphere She stands, Mary the Ever-Virgin, Eternally Blessed. This
demonstrates in parable that She reigns supremely, at God’s Pleasure,
over earth. She reflects the Divine Light of Her Son, fourth celestial sphere.
Immaculate Head towering into the higher heavens, crowned with the Twelve Signs
or ‘Stars’ of the Zodiac --- forsooth, with all the stars of the
heavens! --- She transcends all celestial spheres by God’s Divine Will,
His Heavenly Queen forever. We haven’t time to explain thoroughly, but
the Moon, Venus, Saturn & Sign of Virgo are most connected to Mary
symbolically. We see this, too, in the Apocalypse, albeit subtle. Venus a
‘morning star’ when seen prior to dawn, it is often thought to mean
solely Jesus where He says:
“As I also have received of my Father: and
I will give him the morning star…
I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches [dioceses]. I am the root and stock of
David [read: the eternally rightful heir
& legal descendant of King David], the bright and morning star.” (Apocalypse [Revelation] 2:28 & 16
DRC)
Case closed? Not quite. For what Catholics often
don’t realize is that, since Jesus chose to veil Himself with His Sacred
Humanity, well… Who did He get that
Sacred Humanity from? Correct. The Blessed
Virgin Mary. Ergo why She is His Throne, sitting upon Her Immaculate
Womb, as it were, She undeniably being His Seat of Wisdom. As a result, must
Venus refer solely to Him in the scriptural quotations above? Not at
all.
Under the guise of allegory, they can apply to
Her equally as well.
And so it is. She is Immaculate, He is without
sin, the God-Man. Venus is the most perfectly spherical of all the
planets going around the sun, and most perfectly circular, too, in
it’s orbit with almost no ‘eccentricity’, as astronomers put
it. Without blemish, a very thick atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide
gives a uniform & reflective whiteness when seen through the telescope,
like a heavenly lily. It’s tilt to it’s orbital plane is nearly
nonexistent (compared to, say, Mars,
which has a 24.19° tilt). Mysteriously, Venus is the only planet
that has a retrograde rotation. This means that, instead of
counterclockwise if viewed from the north --- like all the other planets --- it
has clockwise rotation. A thing really hard to explain from a
cosmological Darwinist point of view. Moreover, that this rotation, measured
now with radar since the clouds are far too thick to see through, is a tiny bit
over 243 days, which is almost spot on as two thirds of a
terrestrial year (yes… thirds, that
number again, decimal fraction of 0.666, ad infinitum if you’ve
forgotten)! Recollect that ⅔ is only ‘bad’ or
‘apocalyptic’ from an earthly view. From Heaven’s
perspective, it’s the opposite (namely,
⅔ of the angels remained loyal to God). And, arguably most beautiful & mysterious of
all, Venus has an 8:13 orbital resonance in harmony with the earth. Not
that the earth ‘revolves’ around the sun. But that, from
earth’s perspective, as Venus goes around the sun (note, symbolically, how Venus therefore represents an Immaculate
Mother giving adoration to Her Divine Son), we, additionally, see
Venus at ‘inferior conjunction’ with the sun regularly. Or,
more simply put, if heliocentric, then for every 13 Venusian orbits around the
sun, the earth seemingly ‘orbits’ 8 times. Put more intricately,
these inferior conjunctions occur every 144° (yes, that number again, too, the number of fullness & perfection!)
from earth’s perspective. Most delightful of all, do you recall what we
discovered in Chapter 158 of Helplessly
Ignorant, regarding the ‘tridecimal neutral sixth’? Yes,
indeed, this is the very same decimal ratio, a type of ‘harmonic sixth’.
It is extremely difficult for me to call this coincidence and it is
indisputably linked to ϕ, the Golden Ratio. This is because
everything approaches ϕ closely, 8 divided by 13 being almost ϕ.
All in Venus.
As a matter of fact, if one traces the path of
Venus graphically as a function of time representing Venus’ distance
& direction as viewed geocentrically from the earth, one creates a
‘mandala’, which is ancient Indian Sanskrit for
‘circle’. This mandala is utterly gorgeous and has become known as
the ‘Rose of Venus’.
Honest. We are not making this up! Being five-petaled, this Heavenly Rose unavoidably
connects to the Golden Mean. And what good Catholic doesn’t know that the
rose is indubitably Mary’s
Flower?
All regular five-sided shapes incorporate ϕ.
It’s built into our very existence.
I don’t wish to frighten anyone. Understood
rightly, it won’t. But we must remark that every regular five-sided or
five-pointed shape concurs with a pentagon, i.e., five straight sides equal in
length put together with five vertices equal in angle. Drawing lines so that
every vertex links to every other vertex, we can make a pentagram. Associated
with the satanic occult for centuries, if not millennia, this is why it can be
frightening. It shouldn’t be, however. Stripped of its satanic symbolism,
it is actually demonstrative of ϕ (Phi) and the Golden Ratio. The Golden Mean is
emblematic of perfect relations to God (ratio
of its whole length to a perfectly selected longer segment on a line is exactly
equal to the length of the shorter segment in ratio to the
line’s longer segment). Roman Catholicism is how someone becomes
perfect in relation to God. And hence the Blessed Virgin Mary is, without
doubt, the Most Perfect in Relation to God Ever, ϕ personified. Get it? This is brass tacks basics
in symbolic allegory, of parable telling through geometry. Ah, but a Great
Dragon wants to invert everything upside down, doesn’t he? Good is
evil, and evil good. How does Lucifer do this? By turning the five-pointed star
in the pentagram upside down. Right side up, symbolically from
Heaven’s point of view, it ought to have the two points on the bottom and
the one point of the star at top. Satanically, then, his servants invert
this five-pointed star, putting the two points on top with the one point at the
bottom… wickedly clever
& allegorical, isn’t it? For bad measure, since Christ, the
worshipers of satan inscribe the inverted five-pointed star over a goat’s
head. Why? To mock Jesus where He teaches on who will enter Heaven, and who
go to hell. (Matthew 25:31-45) The sheep on His Right are good Catholics and
enter Heaven. The goats on His Left are bad Catholics or non-Catholics,
and go to hell. You fathom the symbolism? It is only his diabolic way of
mocking the Saving Truth. Yet the five-pointed stars on the US flag? What about
them, you might ask? They’re right side up. So how is the symbolism
luciferian there? I thought you said high-ranking Freemasons detest
Catholicism. How can this be when the flag is as it is? Easy, beloved soul. Our
nation’s founders can’t go around flaunting symbols in public that
are too hellish. They have to be more subtle. So they convey the symbolism by
appearing as ‘angels of light’, exactly like their father in
religion, the devil. Nonetheless, do you doubt their nefarious goal &
wicked intent?
On one of my trips to
Getting the picture? We want to make
‘gods’ out of mere men.
And don’t be naïve, either. Ostensibly
it’s simply our land’s first president, George Washinton, eminent
Freemason, they want to do this to. By Washington, though --- the name
given to the United States’ built-from-scratch capitol, filled with
Virgoan symbols everywhere, the Capitol building itself at the ‘Regulus
star’ point in the Virgoan triangle made with the points of a White
House, Washington Monument & Capitol traced out --- all of us are meant,
the Anglo-American Empire. We must all become ‘gods’. Too, we will
rule the world, as the Regulus star symbolism clearly implies, Regulus meaning
a ‘little king’ --- remember? --- as if ‘humble’ in
‘littleness’ and very ‘holy’. The fresco depicts George
Washington swathed in purple, like a great imperial majesty, throned in the
heavens like the ancient pagan deities. Pagan symbolism surrounds him
everywhere, with various gods & goddesses figures. He stands upon a rainbow. It is flabbergasting. It’s as if he
is ‘assumed’ into Heaven like the Virgin, but deified.
Between this and so many pointed references to the U.S. Capitol building being
a ‘temple to liberty’, an extravagant point is driven home.
We’re talking about a New World Religion.
But it’s NOT God’s Roman Catholicism Whole,
Entire & Undefiled!
The immodesty itself guards against this mistaken
conclusion.
To the contrary, it’s everything opposed to God’s Church.
It is the Antichrist arrived upon the earth, swaggering.
We could go on a lot longer. For instance, the
biggest office building in the world, venturing south hardly any distance
across the Potomac River, in Arlington County, Virginia. Yes, the Pentagon. Say again? The Pentagon. Why that
shape? You take a guess. In comparison to true north, it is pentagonal, of
course, and almost completely upside down. The Goat Head, anyone, in the Pentagram of fervent Satanists?
Don’t want to scare you, my poor reader, but that’s the nation we
are. If American. Oh, howsobeit, we rule the earth, don’t we? We can buy
the soul of any earthling.
And if they won’t sell their souls, then
our military can clobber them.
That, I’m afraid, is the United States.
We’ve some nice people.
But we’ve a very wicked past, present &
future.
The Blessed Ever-Virgin Mary is not like that. She is the
antithesis. She is humble & pure. She is holy, loving the Triune God of the
Catholic Church with all of Her Heart, Soul, Mind & Strength. She is
modest, carefully & beautifully attired. Capitalism is not Her game,
and She does not buy souls. She calls for them and prays for them, that
they might become Her equally holy children, pious adherents to Her Son’s
Roman Catholic Body, the Church. She offers us Water of Life ---the
Life of Her Son, His Sacrifice & His Sacrament of Baptism, including
Profession of His Faith --- FREELY.
She never strives to make tons of money. Yet She is the Richest Queen in Existence. And
She bestows Her Heavenly Wealth
on any who will receive Her & Her Divine Son.
She is THE
IMMACULATE ONE, the Morning Star, Her Son’s Lamp.
She veiled Him in Her Humanity, made Perfect in
His Graces.
She is the Star of the Sea, Our Heavenly
Lodestone.
By Her, we surmount the tempest, reach shore.
To an Eternal Havens, Heaven Above.
+++ 178. A Great War of Ignorance? +++
At the very beginning of this book, Helplessly Ignorant, I have set thirteen
quotes from Sacred Scripture. This number, 13, is emblematic of tremendous
tribulation & suffering. It is one reason Jesus chose Twelve Apostles
during His Ministry in the Flesh on earth, and why it is 13 altogether,
therefore, present at His Last Supper on earth --- as well as First Eucharistic
(and thus Heavenly!) Meal on earth
--- right before His Passion. The number 13 is 7 plus 6. Seven the number of
God and six the number of humanity.
Perceiving the parable told, in addition to the parables He spoke
verbally?
That’s right. It means God & Humanity
suffer together for our salvation. Already, He suffers both as
God and as Man, hypostatically, upon the Cross. Since then, it
has been His followers who, as
Not that Christ’s Death & Sacrifice
were ‘lacking’ in the strict sense; rather that, in joining with Him, we contribute to His Sacrifice by sacrificing our own selves in flesh. We do this by becoming members of His
Ecclesial Body, which is Roman Catholic. The Sacrament of Baptism joins us to
His Body, and the Profession of Faith joins us to Jesus’ Mind. Only visibly with the Roman Catholic Body & Mind of Christ may we
have a right to receive His Flesh & Blood Eucharistically, thus visibly. Denial of this Saving
Truth in some way afflicts all of
humanity today, not just people claiming to be ‘catholic’.
The New Order (in
Latin, ‘Novus Ordo’) was unveiled to the world at large with
founding of the United States in 1776 (as
the US’ Great Seal on the back of their one dollar bills attests with a
13-step Egyptian-style pyramid, under which is ‘Novus Ordo
Seclorum’ --- a ‘New Order of the Ages’ --- in reference to
Virgil, the Roman poet, who cited the Sybil in predicting a ‘golden
dawn’ in the ‘last days’), and in the Holy Place of the
Roman Catholic Church with a wicked Vatican II (the ‘Novus Ordo Missa’ or ‘New Order Mass’
unleashed in its wake). In establishing the
The means of this crucifixion can be found in the
third of our thirteen scriptural quotes:
“But all men are vain, in whom there is not the
knowledge of God: and who by these good things that are seen, could not understand him that is,
neither by attending to the works have
acknowledged who was the workman… For by the greatness of the beauty,
and of the creature, the creator of
them may be seen, so as to be known thereby. But yet as to these they
are less to be blamed. For they
perhaps err, seeking God, and desirous
to find him. For being conversant among his works, they search: and
they are persuaded that the things are good which are seen. But
then again they are NOT to be pardoned. For if they were able to
know so much as to make a judgment of the world: HOW
DID THEY NOT MORE EASILY FIND OUT THE LORD THEREOF? …And it was not
enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but whereas they
lived in A GREAT WAR OF IGNORANCE, they call so many and so great
evils peace.” (Wisdom 13:1, 5-9, 14:22 DRC)
Again, seeing the metaphor being told? A Great
War of Ignorance.
An ignorance for which humans are NOT to be pardoned.
Why? Because we can see the world around
us…
And because we have adequate intelligence.
We are NOT
‘invincible’ in our NOT
knowing. We are FULLY culpable (guilty), trapped WHOLLY in our sins. It is a WAR.
The battle engaged by simply being born with ORIGINAL SIN and having ADEQUATE
INTELLIGENCE. There is no fleeing this DIVINE
CURSE and it is the utterly JUST
PUNISHMENT for Ss. Adam & Eve’s first sin, including all SINS we commit while ALIVE under an OLD heavens and upon this OLD
earth, either working out our damnation with nonchalance & venom, or else
working out our salvation with fear & trembling, which is ROMAN CATHOLIC.
Solely. Alone. It always has been. We lie,
pretending otherwise. We fight
God.
A key dogma of modern Freemasonry is ‘one
religion is as good as another’. They enshrined this in the
And so we witness the spectacle of the early 21st
century, wherein the LGBTQ+ movement seeks to dictate to all of us the meanings
of words and change them at will, tyranny’s threat now coming --- to the
horror of a few ‘progressives’ --- from the Left instead of the
Right, as were all taught after World War II. And yet it could never have
happened without US wealth, media & ‘freedoms’ spread
throughout the world, often via their mascot since the aforesaid Second World
War, a United Nations in New York City. Safeguarding any liberties now
championed by the US & other modern governments as ‘freedoms’
they must uphold despite trampling on millennia-old moral convictions, we witnessed
one last shard of the Law of Natural Reason after another discarded on the
trash heap of recent history. Told we must be nice and ‘love’,
we’ve been shocked at viciousness from leftists as they don’t now
usually respond with an equal niceness.
Why the double standard? Not that I like either
Right or Left. I’m Catholic. Neither Republican, nor Democrat, nor the
Greens or Libertarians or Pirate Party or what-have-you have any allure for me,
apart from some candidates seeming safer than others. It’s simply that we
were always warned, in the hallowed halls of higher education, how it would be
the Right bringing this threat, with ‘fascism’ and
‘ideologues’ galore.
How naïve that warning appears in hindsight.
Almost as if intended.
Yet whether intentional or not, we also dare…
in our halls of academia & industry, together with a media eager to have
something to display or share or crusade for… to invade the heavens and
become ‘gods’. Like Nemrod of old, we strive for the Image in which
we are made, but on our
religious terms --- not
God’s. We, after all, have thrown Him away, too. Nevertheless, the Divine
Throne then seems very empty. Why not be
the ‘gods’ we’re convinced we are and sit upon that Divine
Throne ourselves? Then we may teach & command as we wish. And so
it is. This is why the Religion of Modernism rules everywhere in the past
century and a half, since ‘teach & command as we wish’ can only
mean ‘teach & command as Lucifer
wishes’. It’s his
show. Earthlings are merely pawns upon the global chessboard. Bread & circuses
kept us amused as he erected the Oceanic Beast once again, and sexual
immorality of all kinds keeps us convinced, foolishly, that such immorality of
the flesh is what ‘teach & command as we wish’ amounts to as
individual human beings. That, and endless violent, horrific & ribald
amusements.
Unfortunately, gods that get sick, become injured
and eventually die. Ergo, healthcare
must dominate everything. We are obsessed with pain & dying. It
must be treated as a joke, or not at all. The dead must be hidden away. And
where that’s not possible, we must burn the bodies or at least hide them
away in nursing facilities (before
they die…), then funeral homes to be ‘prettied up’ and
continue the façade that keeps death from too much haunting us, poor
little gods that we are. A common ploy is to turn funeral services into
‘celebrations of life’, as became the case increasingly at the turn
of the 21st century. Which is really just a way for
still-living-moderns to avoid thought of death. More enticingly, we dream of
immortality. In the words of Chapter 144’s Mr. Harari:
“The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
[in 1948] adopted by the UN after the Second World War --- which is perhaps the
closest thing we have to a global constitution --- categorically states that
‘the right to life’ is humanity’s most fundamental value. Since death clearly violates this
right, death is a crime against humanity, and we ought to wage total
war against it. Throughout history, religions and ideologies…
sanctified something above or beyond earthly existence… Because
Christianity, Islam and Hinduism insisted that the meaning of our existence
depended on our fate in the afterlife, they viewed death as a vital positive
part of the world. Humans died
because God decreed it… Just try to imagine Christianity, Islam
or Hinduism in a world without death --- which
is also a world without heaven, hell or reincarnation. Modern
science and modern culture have an entirely different take on life and
death. They DON’T
think of death as a metaphysical mystery, and they certainly DON’T view death as the source of
life’s meaning. Rather, for modern people death is
a technical problem that we can and should solve… The vast majority of scientists,
doctors & scholars distance themselves from outright dreams of immortality,
claiming that they are trying to overcome only this or that particular problem.
Yet because old age and death are the outcome of nothing but particular
problems, there is no point at which doctors and scientists are going to
stop and declare, ‘Thus far, and not another step. We have overcome
tuberculosis and cancer, but we won’t lift a finger to fight
Alzheimer’s. People can go on dying from that.’ The… Declaration of Human Rights does not say that humans have
‘the right to life until the age of ninety’. It says that every
human being has a right to
life, period. That right isn’t limited by any expiry date. An increasing minority of scientists and
thinkers consequently speak more openly these days, and state that the flagship
enterprise of MODERN SCIENCE IS TO
DEFEAT DEATH AND GRANT HUMANS ETERNAL YOUTH.”
(Yuval Noah Harari’s Homo Deus,
as translated into English and printed in
To be fair to Mr. Harari once more, he is nowhere
in the book, as far as I can tell, championing overtly this Modernist project
of ‘defeating death’, or, for that matter, becoming the ‘Homo
Deus’ of the book’s title in English publications --- meaning the
‘Man-God’ in Latin, if you don’t remember. On the other hand,
he nowhere denounces, cautions or pontificates against it. If, then,
he’s not publishing simply for fame or riches (an astonishingly huge achievement for his last two books, i.e., by
academic standards and for a diminutive-looking scholar, albeit marginal for
mainstream popular works), then… what? Well, these two books have
been about Darwinistic evolution, a thing, apparently, he agrees with immensely
since he writes about them as if a matter of undeniable ‘fact’.
Thus, I must conclude that he essentially endorses our world’s Modernist
project of becoming ‘gods’ by evolving into ‘Homo
Deus’. Still, to be charitable, he only wants us to think about 3 things.
One, question ‘Dataism’, with algorithms all that life amounts to.
Two, is intelligence or consciousness the more important? And, three, is it a
good thing that algorithms ‘know’ us better than we ourselves; what
kind of existence for our world & humanity results from this?
In any case, he sees the consequences of
Modernist humanity. And it must not be too troubling for him… if at all.
I mean, don’t such scholars nonetheless find every staunch word necessary
to ringingly condemn racism, ‘homophobia’, climate change
‘denial’ & whatnot? Of course they do. When it really matters,
think they, mince no words. We mustn’t appear too ‘detached’
or ‘nonjudgmental’, as if merely ‘neutral’ observers.
This is why I conclude that Mr. Harari may have
real concerns with some aspects of humanity’s Modernist project,
nevertheless, no real concerns with the overall arc of the project itself,
which, as a Darwinist, he finds ‘natural’ or ‘obvious’.
As in, “Naturally, we as human beings will take over the reins of
evolution and evolve into our own gods. This is as it is, most amazing yet
to-be-expected outcome of mutation & selection. Evolution becomes self
aware.” Maybe he wouldn’t say the exact words. Yet anyone who knows
modern, post-Darwinist science & scholars knows this is true, and quite
typical.
Yet what are self-evolved, never-dying gods to do with themselves
for eternity?
(Super) Naturally, god-like stuff in the heavens,
once we get up there easily. Ah, but however are we to do that? Well, with Mr.
Musk and Space X or Mr. Bezos and Blue Origin, for instance, we’re
working hard on that one. Everyone knows , though (who’s technologically geeky, at least) that the hands down
winner in this contest, if we’re certain to invade the heavens --- and
stay there --- is to build an elevator.
Yes, a space elevator to be exact. We may
be ‘gods’. Gods or not, we need a lift. And how hard can it be?
Okay, pretty difficult. We need something way, way, way stronger than steel,
while light as silk, and… oh… it must be taller than 24,000+ miles.
You read accurately. We have to make cables stretching for a distance
equivalent to the equatorial circumference of the earth. A bigger orbital project
than the International Space Station (ISS,
a strangely Egyptian-looking acronym, given a similarity to the star goddess,
Isis, and the fact that this gargantuan building spree up above made a new
‘star’ in the sky), which, they keep saying over the decades,
cost $100 billion to make. (You
can’t truly discover the real amount; no one seems to know. It’s
just a megaton of money. Whilst barely one thirtieth of the whole
Rocket geeks know rockets are dangerous. They
explode occasionally. They’re expensive, too, even with game changers
like Musk or Bezos. E.g., Space X may eventually cut costs for orbit in half,
perhaps all the way down to one tenth of costs decades ago, accounting for
inflation. Doesn’t matter. That’s way better, of course, a space
enthusiast will breathlessly intone, than before. It still costs a lot. $50
million to have a sizeable payload sent to Mars? Far better than $200 million
dollars. All told, notwithstanding, how many of us have $50 million extra to
spend on that? Not a lot. Giant companies? Perchance it gets more thinkable, if
that’s your focus of business. Sadly, it’s gotta come down far more
than that to have full scale invasion. If we idealistically long for humans to
embrace their divinity, it must get cheaper.
This is where the elevator comes in. Let’s
say it costs half a trillion dollars to make. Nobody can possibly know at this
point, ‘gods’ though we be. For that matter, let’s estimate
$1 trillion dollars, or $2 trillion, or even $3 trillion! Right now, a
modernized earth surely has the wealth to spare on such a project. It would
almost certainly be done internationally, like the ISS. We just need the
‘miraculous’ material for the cables, some spiffy technological
improvements --- no showstopper there, though --- and a foolproof security
system figured out in case a forbidden fear truly occurs (what if orbital debris slices through it, some natural catastrophe
transpires at the base, or terrorists strike… with the whole thing
falling down upon us in the course of hours or a day or two?). Alright,
then, let’s say it’s possible. Why
wouldn’t Modernist humans want a lift?
Suddenly, interplanetary travel seems way less
expensive & difficult. We’ve already placed, at a minimum, 5 orbiters
around Mars, with 2 rovers --- 1, if
Oh, and here’s a scrumptious tidbit for
you. If actually made, many are betting carbon
‘nanotubes’ will be just the super-strong-but-super-light stuff
needed to make the cable or tether, as space geeks like to say. How’s that for symbolism? Carbon,
the atomic number six
element, the number of humanity and a beast, hoisting us into the starry
heights. And, if not nanotubes, then the more 2-dimensional yet still
super-strong-and-super-light ‘graphene’, also made from both a
terrestrially human & bestial carbon six.
It’s a dream made in Heaven, as people like
to say. Or, rather, an earth-built one.
And there’s the point. Is this not the
epitome of
And what fun, for the true geek. Because, deep
down, it is a whole lotta fun.
And, imagine, ‘heaven’ at merely the
‘push of a button’, as it were… going up?
The NWO powers-that-be do not see it just that
way, however. And if they
judge it accomplishable --- or have done so now, waiting for the opportune
moment --- then welcome to
tomorrow, as progress-oriented moderns enjoy saying. We will traipse into
heaven, not bothering to wipe our feet, and proceed to track marks of filth all
across the sky. That is, if God lets us. Modernists don’t like to think
we need His Permission. And, honestly, we didn’t bother getting His
Divine Permission before we began the Space Age. It’s only His Tolerance
which has allowed us to do as much as we’ve accomplished thus far. When will that Divine Tolerance run out?
I don’t know. I do know, though, space enthusiast although I’ve
been all my life, that a good Catholic nation would have pondered long
& hard, together with the Papacy, before daring to launch.
Modernist nations do not have that humility. Or
the patience, either.
Tragically, we lack in many qualities, apart from
technology.
We especially lack in religious knowledge, ears
closed.
“Therefore do I [Christ, God-in-the-Flesh] 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],
‘For 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 [immoral, rebellious & disgusting], and with their ears they
have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: 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 [make them obedient,
moral & beautiful in Roman Catholicity].’” (Matthew 13:15
DRC)
Wherefore
“As it is written, ‘God hath [has] given
them the SPIRIT OF INSENSIBILITY [a
lack of fully rational & logical thought, uncaring for
truth]; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should
not hear,’ until this present day.” (Romans 11:8 DRC. Both
quote from Isaias [Isaiah] 6:9, the latter from 6:10 as well.)
This is why the sixth devastating point has been
lengthier by far than the first five, or seventh nearly here. For if mental
eyes & ears do not see
or hear, despite being
there and functioning otherwise, what
have you? Right. Someone who purposefully closes his or her mental
eyes, and covers his or her mental ears. You’ve someone purposefully
refusing to understand… because
they don’t want to understand.
This results in denial of the Law of Natural
Reason. It is precisely what we’ve done today, which is why the whole
world is in the Great Apostasy. We’ve given ourselves spiritual
lobotomies for the past seven hundred years and now we are really starting to
pay the piper. For those few with unclosed eyes and uncovered ears, this is a
course in understanding how we got to where we are in our present evil time, and
what God says within Sacred Scripture that reveals light upon our days ---
comprehending the parables correctly, inasmuch as we are meant to comprehend
--- giving us guidance in the process, and hope to our hearts if truly Roman
Catholic. It also reinforces how our Apostasy really does revolve around
the Modernist version of salvation heresy. To wit,
‘salvation-in-the-state-of-invincible-ignorance-and-sincerity’.
Which then results in an awful “spirit of insensibility” (Romans
11:8 DRC, see above) and the “operation of error” (2 Thessalonians
2:10 DRC, elsewhere in this book), leading us to paganism.
Except, it is a self-deifying neo-paganism that insists we are ‘gods’.
And acts accordingly, hence defying Our
Self-Eternal Creator.
Oh, but it’s a long fall from Heaven,
should our feet slip.
And the gravity of our sins. They are so very
heavy.
+++ 179. The Seventh Big Problem With
Ignorance: +++
How Dare We Blaspheme Against
the Holy Ghost?
It is truly a long fall. And all because we
can’t stand a Singular & True Roman Catholic Religion and Its dogged
insistence upon ‘no Salvation outside the Church’ in its original,
ancient, narrow, strict, correct, infallible & unchanging sense. We hate
Rock. So badly we, in turn, focus our hatred on the Law written inside of us,
upon our hearts, what a theologian calls ‘of Natural Reason’. Why
would the True God, Our Creator & Triune Deity of His Catholic Church,
permit this? What’s going on? Ultimate rebellion & sin. If
you’re going to be that bad, relentlessly, then, if enough humans, God
will sometimes withdraw graces and allow the lot of them to become as bad as
they can be.
In this way, He is revealed to be all-merciful (that He waited so long for you to do
penance), all-just (that He
determines to punish you to the extent of His Law when you refuse to back down,
being penitent & humble) & all-powerful (that He will not be defied forever, He carrying out exactly what He
has decreed in the end). This is how He works all things for good,
for those that trust in Him. Say again? For
those that trust in Him.
But you can only do that if you are truly Roman
Catholic, eh? Precisely. And so the world today clings to
‘ignorance’ as if this would excuse them in the end, despite ample
opportunities, even during the Great Apostasy, to find the Saving Truth. And
self-styled ‘catholics’ have done likewise, their clever --- but
not Catholic --- theologians devising the religious lie of ‘no Salvation
outside the Church, unless you really can’t know better’, a
theological abomination expressed more precisely --- and imprecisely, too,
being a self-contradicting proposition, logically speaking --- in the phrase
‘salvation in the state of an invincible ignorance with sincerity’.
This is indeed apostasy since it strikes at the pith & heart of the Saving
Truth of Roman Catholicism. Ergo, doesn’t matter if it’s the
‘only’ dogma you deny. It’s enough, having stabbed your
Catholicism --- if ever you really possessed it to begin with --- in the heart.
Arian Apostasy in the first millennium was guilty of denying the Necessity of
Christ’s Incarnation inasmuch as it would not admit that Jesus was God
from All Eternity. The Modernist Apostasy does similarly today, it being guilty
of denying the Necessity of Christ’s Ecclesiation inasmuch as it will not
admit that this same Jesus, in the form of His Ecclesial Body that He took upon
His Eternally Divine Self, is equally essential to a salvation He so graciously
offers us.
Incarnation, Ecclesiation? Both are central, both
taken on by a Self-Eternal God.
Bringing us to the seventh & final
devastating argument against our world’s Modernist salvation heresy. To wit, how dare we blaspheme against the Holy Ghost? Also
called the Holy Spirit, it is One and the Same Person about Whom we speak. Yes,
the Third Person of a Divine Godhead. Jesus refers to Him when He instructs His
Apostles a last time.
“But I tell you the truth: it is expedient
to you that I go: for if I go not, the PARACLETE
will not come to you; but if I go, I will SEND
HIM TO YOU. And when he is come, he
will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment. Of
sin: because THEY HAVE NOT
BELIEVED IN ME. And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you
shall see me no longer. And of judgment: because
the prince of this world is already judged.” (John 16:7-11
DRC)
This is the ninth of thirteen quotes from Sacred
Scripture at the start of this book. Elsewhere in the final instruction, Jesus
tells us about the Paraclete, i.e., Holy Spirit:
“And I will ask the Father, and he shall
give you another Paraclete [Comforter or
Advocate], that he may abide with you forever. The SPIRIT OF TRUTH, whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not [doesn’t see Him at all, the
Paraclete], nor knoweth him [doesn’t
know Who He is at all]: but you
shall know him; because he
shall abide with you, and shall
be in you [upon receiving the
Sacrament of Baptism, the Holy Ghost takes up residence in a true Roman
Catholic, and places an indelible mark upon our souls, showing us to be His and
called out of this world]… But the Paraclete, the HOLY GHOST, whom the Father will
send in my name, HE WILL TEACH YOU
ALL THINGS, and bring all things
to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.”
(John 14:16-17, 26 DRC)
Now, given that this Spirit of Truth, the Holy Ghost, is wholly God
from All of Eternity, and thus omniscient, knowing all things, how is it that
He cannot know who is intelligent yet ignorant, needing the Saving Truth of
Roman Catholicism? Indeed, he or she, even, who is seeking for this One True
Religion, wherever in creation he or she may be?
This is the 666 trillion dollar question for
earth, a real heavenly elevator.
You know the answer, dear reader. The whole book
is about it.
In one of many showdowns with the Pharisees,
Jesus said:
“He that is not with me, is against
me: and he that gathereth [gathers] not with me, scattereth [scatters]. Therefore I say to you: every sin and blasphemy shall
be forgiven men, but [except for] the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whosoever
shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: BUT HE THAT SHALL SPEAK AGAINST THE HOLY
GHOST, it shall not be
forgiven him, neither in this world, nor the world to
come.” (Matthew 12:30-32 DRC)
This is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, the
unforgivable sin. And it means dying impenitent, never truly Catholic or, if
Catholic, dying in the state of mortal sin without having found remission of
your terrible sins in the Sacrament of Penance. It is the only unforgivable sin
because after death & judgment, what time of mercy remains? Merely
punishment for our sins, either in purgatory (the “world to come” in the quote above), hell’s
temporary part, or in hell proper, the part that is everlasting, with no
escape. Furthermore, it is unforgivable because you had every chance to know
better.
This is the difference between ‘culpable’
and ‘inculpable’ ignorance. You have an intelligent
mind --- adequately intelligent, at the very least, given to you by God --- whatever
in the world did you do with it? Were you humble? Humble enough to
look, never pretending to ‘know it all’ or ‘know
enough’ without having to seek the truth? No? Then how on earth
can God pretend that you’re ‘sincere’, never having
bothered to seek properly while still alive? Get it? This is blasphemy
against the Holy Ghost.
He is the Spirit of Truth, given to this world at
the Descent of the Holy Ghost on Pentecost Sunday, after Jesus’ Ascension
ten days earlier, into Heaven. That Spirit did more than fill the first Roman
Catholics in
To what? Catholicism, whole, entire & undefiled.
To God’s Body on earth.
There is no
excuse, my precious soul. Given adequate intelligence and minimal time,
everyone in humanity --- apart from very
young children, or those cognitively disabled or certifiably insane from
earliest youth --- is culpable
for their ignorance of religion. We reject
the Saving Truth --- and hence the Holy
Spirit of This Same Saving Truth Who abides everywhere in creation with us,
knocking upon our hearts, seeking for us to respond, granting Him entrance
--- speaking blasphemy against
Him at death.
That is, if we don’t visibly convert to
Catholicism, prior to our deaths.
And die good, without mortal sin, persevering
until the very end.
This Spirit is not weak or feeble. This Spirit is
not clueless or unable to know. The dragonish demon, Lucifer, cannot
successfully oppose Him unless He withdraws. And such it is. Roman Catholics
have been so wicked, eventually losing their inheritance, the One True
Religion, that it has gone to the very top and --- with the Vatican II Pseudo-Council
--- been brought out totally into the open. He who restrains, i.e., a good
& orthodox pope, has now been taken out of the way for a time. St.
Peter’s Throne abandoned, as it were, sitting empty until God’s
Wrath is exhausted.
And yet even now, in the midst of this apostate
darkness, the Spirit of Truth is not
incapable of speaking to us. I am proof of that, converted out nothing, out of
Modernism & Protestantism to Roman Catholicism during the middle of the
Great Apostasy! Simply that, in having quenched God’s Mercy for a time
due to our vileness, He gives place to God’s Wrath until it is exhausted.
He withdraws graces from
those unworthy.
Should any of us be saved? Not a one of us, we
are that vile & disgusting!
Yet I tell you --- pleading with you --- seek and you will surely find.
The Spirit of Truth is still there… and we
are still culpable.
+++ 180. At the Sign of the Cross? +++
There is truly a Golden Dawn coming. A New Aeon
of the Son, Queen Mary the First Blush of Her Son’s Rise, turning the
morning sky all amber and roseate as He arrives. It is His Second Advent, the
one where He places His Sign in the Sky and the nations of the earth mourn,
their false sun sinking, revealed for the darkness it is. (Matthew 24:29-30)
I’ve often wondered what this Sign is, that
appears at the end, as Jesus tells us.
Certainly it involves the Cross. Yet so many
others have appropriated this sign, like Protestants, whose cross is barren
& fruitless. So it cannot be a Cross alone, or else Our Lord could be
accused of ‘lying’ to us, when we as real Catholics know there is
salvation in no other, His Ecclesial Body Roman Catholic and naught else. This
rules out Eastern Schismatic versions of the Cross, too. That is to say, they
are not on their way to God’s Heaven as schismatics, since they are not
united to God’s Singular Body, the Roman Catholic Church. Hence, while
their crosses may be fine in most ways (certainly
not barren, like the Protestants!), the Sign at the end must incorporate
something more, distinguishing it as the solely Roman Catholic Symbols they
are, and nothing else.
This leaves us with two things, and possibly
three. For what is the big trio of lying allegations the world loves to throw
against God’s Catholicism more than anything else? Right. The Blessed
Ever-Virgin Mary, the Infallible Papacy, and the Divine Eucharist. Of course,
Eastern Schismatics will not necessarily detest the Divine Eucharist, inasmuch
as they retain validity of Orders and validity of Mass. They are schismatic and
thus illegal using these holy things. But they are real, ergo valid, unlike
Protestant rites & liturgy. What is the Sign, then? Could it be something
like what the Roman soldiers under Emperor Constantine saw with him, right
before they conquered Rome? Could it, possibly, incorporate Greek letters, the
Chi-Rho, representing Christ’s Name?
Possibly. I’d be willing to bet on it
heavily, if I were a gambling man.
But I’m not. And, whether or not it
incorporates the Chi-Rho, I’m betting heavily it incorporates Symbols
reticent of God’s Mother, God’s Vicar & God’s Eucharistic
Heart. It’s just a hunch, but I’d bet on it. If I were a gambling
man. I’m not. I don’t like to gamble, it gives me no pleasure. I
like certainty. I like knowing Infallible Truth.
Howsoever, I cannot resist speculating about
this. For a good reason, too.
Because this is the last chapter of the book, Helplessly Ignorant. Chapter 180. If you
know geometry or trigonometry, then you know that a circle has 360 degrees in
it. I.e., circles can be divided up into 360 unique but equal sections, drawing
lines from circle’s center to circle’s circumference, to make
visible & plain. Fine, yet how is 360° a propos here? It is a simple,
repeating & fascinating aspect of two-dimensional shapes that they are
based on multiples of half circles. Or, to put it differently, if you divide
circles into perfect halves, how many degrees do you have in each of the
halves? That is correct.
180. And if you add all the angles of any
triangle we find? Right again. 180.
This ascends up the ladder of various
increasingly ‘sided’ or ‘gonal’ polygons
in geometry. For instance, a triangle’s angles all add up to 180.
A rectangle’s angles, of which there are 4, all add up to 360.
A pentagon’s --- or any 5-side or 5-gon shape --- angles all add up to 540. A hexagon’s --- ditto dashed
statement above, replacing 5 sides with 6 --- angles all add up to 720.
A heptagon’s (7-gon, that is,
7-sided) angles all add up to 900. An octagon, with 8
sides, sums up its angles to 1080 degrees. Seeing the
pattern? Every step in sides is like adding the degrees of a triangle
to its sum.
In other words, the 2D shapes progress in total
degrees by 180° each time.
Chance? No wise Catholic can think so. It’s
woven into our creation.
Yet why should this surprise us? God is Three Persons. If, therefore, he
wears His Creation like a “vesture”,
disposing of it when it has grown old (Psalm 101:26-28 DRC), what, then, is the
shock of seeing His Vesture
made into a form, or pattern, that is, so to speak, Tripartite, just like He Is --- so to speak. For God in His Unitary Being, in His Unmade
Substance, is utterly Simple…
as in, indivisible. But in His Three Persons --- oh! Mystery of mysteries! He Is, infallibly we know, a
Tripartite Being, as it were.
A tripartiteness revealed in the most rudimentary
aspects of His material ‘vesture’.
For what have physicists in the last 50 years
concluded? Um hm. They have been compelled to logically infer, based on cosmic
ray & bubble chamber data, and so forth, sifting through evidence and
searching for relations, that our physical being --- beyond an already
microscopic atomic level --- is formed from a pattern of threes. That is
to say, the ‘quarks’ of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Whimsically
entitled by a physicist of legendary status, Mr. Murray Gell-Man, these ‘quarks’
(he took their name from the famous Irish
novelist, James Joyce, whose Finnegan’s Wake had the beguiling phrase, “Three quarks for Muster
Mark!” Book 2, Episode 4) love to be in ‘trios’ or
‘triads’ when it comes to our everyday reality. Accordingly, while
there are six types of quarks in total, just the two lightest of them, surmised
he and other physicists, make up the protons and neutrons that, in turn,
constitute the elemental atoms of our physical reality. Or, put in another way,
God has made his ‘mark’ upon creation. At a fantastically
fundamental level, our creation is ‘tripartite’… just
like its Maker. This ‘tripartiteness’ strangely extends (pun intended, for those in the QCD know…)
to a quark’s electrical charge, coming only in fractions of the
‘unit’ electrical charge of a proton or electron, which means
either -⅓ or +⅔ (we kid you not…!).
Portents or shadows of a Celestial War?
But what are
they? Physicists accept QCD and its quarks, along with the other subsubatomic particles (like gluons…), nonetheless, is
something ‘real’ when neither direct eyewitness nor an indirect
‘sensing’ via instrument, so to speak, can tease it into the
open, through hard experimentation? Gell-Mann himself is said to have
remarked, in regards to experimental data being consistently unable to
produce ‘separate’ or ‘isolated’ quarks, how they were
simply useful ‘mathematical constructs’ and not ‘real
particles’. Okay, so where does that leave us? Today, physicists
routinely treat them as ‘real’ in spite of never
‘seeing’ them indirectly via instruments & experiments. Perhaps
it took a generation to get familiar with the concept, embracing the idea
warmly once ‘courtship’ was over. Perchance. In any case, what is
‘reality’ when this reality is unseen? Therein lies the rub.
In a scientific tradition that is now centuries long, trying to reduce anything
in physical existence to purely ‘physical’ explanations,
we’re so fixated on matter as the thing we call ‘particles’,
which are, repeatedly as decades go by lately, reduced to yet smaller bits of
‘matter’ that we’ve broken it into bits in a bid to understand.
Except… if correct, quarks are part of a pool of ‘elementary’
particles that are ‘inextricable’ from anything they form. Quarks,
by definition now, cannot exist separately in isolation in physical reality. So
what is the ‘reality’ of such ‘real’ but very unseen
‘things’ like quarks? And, delicious irony of ironies, in a world
where Modernist scientists will routinely disrespect anything
‘supernatural’ since, after all, “I don’t deal with the
unquantifiable (read: what I
can’t ‘see’),” then how is there NOT the scent of the invisible
‘supernatural’ in modern physics? They routinely deal with
‘particles’ they never ‘see’, either directly with
their own eyes or indirectly through their instruments! But, of course, the
Modernist physicist would balk, saying they can ‘quantify’ the
unseen ‘quarks’. This is merely intellectual sleight-of-hand. Guess
what? I can quantify God, too,
talking about His Trinity in numerical terms. Ah, but can you produce
Him in the lab, so ‘proving’ His Existence? No, but I CAN
logically infer that He EXISTS based on what we observe
in this visible creation, just as you
can logically infer the reality of quarks based on what we observe in
this visible creation! Comprehend, my precious soul?
It kind of levels the metaphysical playing
ground, doesn’t it? We realize they’ve constructed their vision of
the world based on bias, a personal preference. Where it is convenient
to them, they infer logically about invisible things based on visible data.
Where they do not prefer to see what is there, based on visible data,
they will conveniently close their mental eyes --- because they really don’t like God.
A Roman Catholic Creator would seriously inhibit
their life choices.
They’d have to stop their wickedness and
learn how to obey.
A few indulge ‘god talk’. But
obedience? Not so much.
Like all Modernists, they ‘decree’
right and wrong.
Yet back to tripartite quarks and
Gell-Mann’s remark, leastwise in earlier years, how they’re
‘mathematical constructs’, not ‘real particles’. For
what is math? In a very real sense, it is abstract geometry.
Whilst geometry, respectively, is hence visual mathematics. And
it’s all tied together, like light itself or music to which we might
listen, with patterns. Viz., undulations or ‘waves’
in the biggest sense of the word. And I mean ‘sense’ in the sense
of profoundness of thought, not necessarily size. And that’s what
I suspect quarks are, God’s patterns or undulations that He’s set
up from the start of creation at a most fundamental level. If real, they are
His ‘mark’ or ‘signature’ upon everything. I mean,
every artist signs his or her work, correct? Yes. God’s Signature is
everywhere.
From ground level up, we are His. Even disfigured
by sin, we owe Him us.
It’s written through all of creation, dearest.
Simply open your eyes to see.
Yes, like Our Maker, Who is Three Persons in One
Being, we find ‘threes’ & ‘thirds’ everywhere we
look. It is not merely chance. It is how God designed it to be. He’s
telling parables, and they are written all through us and all around us. From
2D shapes counting by ‘threes’ and ‘thirds’ insomuch as
they go by triangular blocks of 180°, an equilateral triangle perfectly
‘divisible’ into ‘thirds’ with each angle being 60°,
i.e., ⅓
of 180°, to elementary ‘particles’ that, oddly for us, count by
‘threes’, too, quarks constituting protons & neutrons, building
a cosmos, and having ‘thirds’ fractional charges.
It’s real… we modern people swim in
data. But wisdom? Not as much.
Can’t see the forest for the trees, per the
adage. Data often does that.
We need to be able to see the forest as a whole,
and how it is arranged thereby. In knowing this, we’d have more
than data or information alone --- we’d
have veritable knowledge & understanding. We could navigate the
forest, for instance. Nevertheless, understanding all by itself is still not
wisdom. Wisdom is normally invisible in this world, being of the
mind and of the soul. Our God-given intelligence, together with grace,
‘sees’ mentally --- and in the heart cares for as invaluable ---
what is the RIGHT WAY to go through
this forest, what OUR DESTINATION is
to be as we navigate, and how best traveled or traversed. And the parable we’re plumbing here,
to find its depth, is how human beings are to go through earthly life,
navigating, and what our destiny is.
We won’t go into so much detail that we
overwhelm our poor reader, who may be frazzled already. But this book, overall,
is about telling the parables of Our Creator. Offering a final parable, I ask
you to consider an equilateral triangle once more. It’s a beautiful
analogy for the Trinity & Unity of God. Let us next draw a Cross inside
this triangle of perfectly equal sides & angles. The vertical beam goes
from apex at top to middle of the bottom side. Now draw the horizontal beam at
the Phi point, or Golden Mean, of the vertical beam, as measured from the
bottom up. The Cross symbolizes Christ, the Phi point, where the two beams
intersect, both Christ’s Sacred & Suffering Heart, as well as His
Mother’s Immaculate & Sorrowful Heart. She is the Cross Itself, too,
being the Tree of Life in the Garden of Paradise, It’s Wood bearing the
Fruit of Eternal Life, Her Son, Jesus Christ. In other words, it is Her
Flesh that He wears.
This Cross bisects the equilateral triangle into
four sections. If you do the arcane mathematics to figure out the area
of an upper (almost still) equilateral triangle made inscribing the Cross
(fascinatingly, incidentally, the base of this upper truncated triangle becomes
exactly phi…) ---with all Its extremities touching the perimeter of the triangle,
without going past that perimeter --- in relation to the area of a no longer
equilateral triangle in the lower area, it being truncated, you come very near to two fifths. Or, flipping it
around, just a tad over the ratio of 5:2. Five
is the Wounds of Jesus, Her Precious Son. Two
His Hypostatic Union of Divinity & Humanity, a Humanity He purposely chose
to gain via Her Immaculate Womb, Their Two
Hearts --- bound in temporality as One, His Eternal subsuming & weaving the
Immortal into It, hence sharing His Blessed Eternality with mere creatures,
inasmuch as mere human can
comprehend & experience such a thing! --- now beat as One Forevermore.
This is our destiny after journey through
proverbial forest, if truly Catholic.
The Blessed Virgin Mary has completed Hers,
sorrowing & suffering with Him terrestrially. Likewise must we. We must
join with Him through Her, taking His Five Wonderful
Wounds as ours, carrying His Cross with tenacity mingled with humility. In
doing so, we look to Mary, meeting Her upon the Way, our Road in
dangerous woods. A wolf howls, a tiger stalks, a bear plagues our footsteps. We
stumble on roots & rocks, as day grows dim and the night closes in. The
sounds could frighten us, if we let them. We can barely see, the Light of
the Holy Ghost from within us now providing far more in illumination than
the gloaming sun. We are cold, nigh well frozen. We starve, too.
She comforts us, reminding us how She sorrowed
& suffered with Her Son.
She sings softly like a Mother of 5 Wounds, with
2 Hearts awaiting…
She strengthens us, telling how worth it all it
is, to find Heaven.
And She sings, too, the Canticle of Canticles,
about Love.
Real Divine Charity, not the cheap trinkets sold
on earth. From the Triune God of a Roman Catholic Church above, triumphant
always, Who loves us if we love Him, even our love but His Gift to us in the
first place. We merely offer Him in prayer & suffering what He already had,
He having first graciously given it to us. Through His Son & His Mother.
She is Mediatrix of All His Graces, Our Co-Redemptress in Heaven. Celestial Queen
indeed, Head spangled with stars, She beckons in the night of our lives, like a
Shining Star forever, but One we shall enjoy in the Heights, with Her, if we
labor onwards, till last & dying breath. In Her Immaculacy we become
immaculate.
Yet always subject to Her the Queen, She subject
with us to He the King.
At the Sign of the Cross? Truly, yes. In
suffering & sorrow made whole.
And the Sign in the Heavens, when He returns? I
think it may already be there… we simply haven’t been able to see
it yet. In the Sign of Virgo, if you study millennia old traditions, the
Blessed Virgin Mary carries a sheaf of wheat in Her Immaculate Hands,
next to Her Ever-Immaculate Womb. Regulus & Leo are to Her left, as
if Christ Child carried in Her Arm, She on His Right Hand.
Boötes the farmer or husbandman is to Her right, slightly askew
representing what Lucifer has done, but also representing the Vicar
of Her Son the Christ till His Return, setting everything right. He is to
steer that priestly plow, doing his job well in the stead of St. Peter Our
First Pope. May he steer well!
Jesus tells us in the Gospel that the light of
the heavenly bodies will grow dark at His Return, with the stars ‘falling
from the heavens’. Would it surprise you if the stars in the Sign of
Virgo and nearby, to Her right and to Her left, come nearer, shining alone in
all Heaven at Christ’s Second Advent, Her ‘Heart’ Star, as it were, Gamma Virginis, the
second brightest of the stars in Her Constellation after the wheat sheaf star,
Spica, altogether with the farmer’s Petrine stars and a celestial Chi-Rho
Cross also? The innumerable hosts of Heaven following Him & Her, adorned
with their 5 signs.
I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Not at all.
I’m Roman Catholic, remember?
