Bitter Reflections On Todays’ Reading

St. Peter clearly encouraged the use of guitars at Mass… erm, no, wait…

From today’s (Novus Ordo) first reading, Jeremiah 23:1-6

“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” says the Lord.

[…]

“You have scattered the flock, driven them away, and you have not attended them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the Lord”

[…]

hhhmmm… let us see…

The vast part of the Catholic world could not recite the ten commandments. They have no idea what a rosary is, or a work of mercy; their knowledge of prayers probably stops at Hail Mary and Lord’s prayer. In their vast majority, they do not even know mass attendance is a duty. They consider, in great numbers, contraception pretty much OK. They aren’t very shocked at abortion. They have a vague idea of what sacraments are, and why they are there. Most do not believe in transubstantiation. In their vast number, they have never been explained anything of this: not about their sunday mass obligation, not about their need for confession. Transubstantiation has never been hammered to them more than, say, the sins crying to heaven for vengeance. if asked, they would find it very difficult to tell you what is that characterises a Catholic as opposed to other Christians. They know nothing about the meaning of basic words like “charity”, or “faith”. If they have heard of theological virtues, it must have been because of some fantasy book, or video game .

There are masses not even a Pentecostal would consider decent, with the long-haired priest singing like an idiot to the tune of electric guitars. Or with lasers. Or with the priest dancing like an Hindu. Or with some other stupid form of show meant to make you understand how modern, cool, and utterly innovative the priest is. Masses celebrated even in Cathedrals, with the obvious approval of the local (bad) shepherd.

There are priests and bishops trying every day to undermine Catholic teaching,and Cardinals either helping them, or doing nothing whilst the former massacre our Catholic identity.

There is a Pope writing books whilst Rome burns; unwilling to stop the subversive prelates, and appointing scores of them to episcopal dignity time and again, where they will savage everything Catholic for decades to come; promoting them to highest positions, when they happen to be his own friends; clearly more interested in his legacy as a theologian than as a Pope, and seemingly uninterested in the countless souls going lost in the present climate; but very attentive that the SSPX should recognise the righteousness of V II, that is: of his life work as a theologian and Pope.

In the meantime, Catholicism becomes more and more a religion by hearsay. A growing number of Catholics do not baptise their children, and the grandparents can’t find the gut to say anything even when they care. But the priest smiles and tells them to rejoice in the Lord, so everything must be fine. Joy is everywhere in nuChurch, whence fire and brimstone have all but disappeared. Catholicism tries to joyfully extinguish himself away (hint: it won’t happen) whilst old people sing horrible songs and rejoice about their unbaptised grandchildren, who are under the all-joyful protection of the Spirit, surely?

I could go on, and everyone of you could add to this list.

I wonder whether Jeremiah’ passage might relate to the present times?

Oh, apologies, I had forgotten once again…

How can this be so, if all the wonderful achievements of the past 50 years were a joyous creation of the “Spirit?”

How very un-Catholic of me to even think so…

Still, there is also something else I Know…

“Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall be any missing, says the Lord.”

One day, the fold will be driven back and this senseless massacre of everything Catholic will cease. One day, the Church will re-emerge from the present crisis, from this state of drunkenness and mad search for popularity and friendship with the world, and will surge once again upon the ruins of Western moral civilisation. One day, the present cowardly dwarfs of the Church will make place to real Princes, able and willing to fight once again for unpopular truths. 

One day, common sense will be recovered, and “Virgin” will mean “Virgin” again.

I doubt many of us will see that day. But I know it will come, and if we die first it is the more important that we remain alert and vigilant all our life, so that the bad shepherds do not enchant us with their easy modernist gospel, or even induce us to consider halfway acceptable that a priestly ass should sing with electric guitars in a church, and his bishop allow him to do so, and his pope not do anything about it.

Three Cheers For The Boy Scouts Of America

My Duty To God.

In a rather astonishing show of social conservative spirit, and in a world where more and more institutions begin to bow to the common madness and accept homosexuality as normality, and the indecency of proclaiming one’s perversion out loud a civil right, it is extremely comforting to know the Boy Scouts of America have shown a very long finger to the madness of our times.

This is, mind, no fringe group, counting in the US more than 2.7 million young member and another 1 million volunteers. The Episcopalians would be proud of being able to boast such figures.

You may say it is surprising the Boy Scouts of America reviewed their policy in the first place, but with the benefit of hindsight (and considering this is not a Catholic organisation) it is fair to say this might have been the best way to put the calls for “reform” to rest once and for all.

This is how the Chief Scout Executive of the organisation puts it:

“The vast majority of the parents of youth we serve value their right to address issues of same-sex orientation within their family, with spiritual advisers, and at the appropriate time and in the right setting. While a majority of our membership agrees with our policy, we fully understand that no single policy will accommodate the many diverse views among our membership or society.”

Behind the thinly veiled political correctness, you can read a couple of very clear messages: the parents are overwhelmingly on the side of reason, and those who disagree are very welcome to leave the organisation.

Expect now the usual avalanche of indignation from champagne-sipping, more or less straight, adulterous urbanites (those kind of people unlikely to send their boys to the boy-scouts anyway), and the usual screeching of the organised faggotry.  I read around about a chap with two lesbian “mothers” complaining about the policy, clearly not complying with the moral standards which have (not) been transmitted to him. You don’t say?

The population of the United States is, in their vats majority, still sound thinking and with some fear of the Lord remaining in them. It is now their duty to attack the work of corrupted and satanic judges and use democracy to restore sanity.

The BBC has, as you would expect, a morning program. It should be one of those programs where two people (one man and one woman; pleasant but not too attractive; pleasantly communicative but not too invasive; you know the type) sit on a couch and inform us about a variety of things: the hose pipe ban, what’s happening on the M25, your five a day, and the like.

Not so in Beebistan, the planet where political correctness reigns unopposed, and liberal propaganda does not spare anyone, not even children. Saturday morning, the viewers were served a fat, uncommonly ugly woman dressed like a priest. I am sure she was in black because it helped to mask her more than generous proportions, but by the way she behaved she could have had a red nose and no one would have noticed anyway.

The woman was one of those middle-aged fuglies trying…
