Punishing Even the Poor Souls
by Thomas A. Droleskey
False religions offend the honor and the majesty and the glory of the true God of Divine Revelation, the Most Blessed Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

False religions make a mockery of the Divine Revelation that God has entrusted exclusively to His Catholic Church for Its eternal safekeeping an infallible explication.

False religions make the very identify and Holy Name of God a matter of individual "preference," a view that was "ratified" by the conciliar "archbishop" of New York, Timothy Michael Dolan, almost exactly two years ago now (see Whatever You Want).

False religions brutally punish souls. for whom Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ shed every single drop of His Most Precious Blood to redeem, with an endless cascade of liturgical abominations and doctrinal errors that mutate and spin off in thousands of different, quite contradictory directions.

Most false religions spare not even the dead, punishing them very brutally with the belief that they are in Heaven and thus have no need of our prayers.

The false religion known as conciliarism (and, contrary to what Bishop Richard Williamson contends, is a false religion; someone needs to send him Gregorius's The Chair is Still Empty) has been particularly brutal on the Poor Souls in Purgatory.

Sure, the doctrine of Purgatory is still "on the books" in the counterfeit church of conciliarism. "Mass" stipends continue to be taken for deceased Catholics. The Commemoration of All Souls on November 2 is known as "Black Christmas" in many former Catholic parishes that are now in conciliar captivity as that is the day when those little envelopes with "Mass" stipends get opened and their contends divided amongst the priests/presbyters. Some "traditionally-minded" presbyters in my acquaintance opined to me in the past that is is the cash windfall on "Black Christmas" that will keep the doctrine of Purgatory "on the books" even though most of its lords disparage its existence.

As noted many times in this site, most especially in From Sharp Focus to Fuzziness, Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI does not believe in the doctrine of Purgatory as taught by the Catholic Church and defined solemnly at the Council of Trent. Much of his "new theology" is really a warmed over version of the "fuzziness" and ambiguity of the false doctrines taught by the Orthodox churches. It is indeed very telling that the conciliar "pope" did not make any mention of Purgatory on November 2, 2012, or when he staged a Protestant and Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service for deceased "cardinals" and "bishops" on November 3, 2012. (See Your Greatest Evil Resides In The Apostolic Palace.) This is pretty much the "norm" in many, although far from all, conciliar venues.

Catholics have been so malformed by the steady diet of error and profanation that they have been fed by the conciliar revolutionaries that they recoil in horror when they are told that they and/or their "bishops" or "pastors" are steeped in one error after another.

One elderly Long Island man, showing off his paunch in a Knights of Columbus windbreaker, nearly punched me in the face on November 2, 1997, when I confronted his "pastor" over the latter's lack of belief in Purgatory after the latter had given a "homily" without once mentioning Purgatory or to exhort those listening to him to pray for the Poor Souls who are suffering there.

I had questioned the pastor outside of the church in Sea Cliff, New York, as to why he had not mentioned Purgatory. The man, who was probably a true priest, responded as follows in a spirit of effeminate righteousness, "I talked about life. I talked about love." "What about Purgatory?" I asked. That is when the old Knight of Columbus put his fist to my face and shouted, "Shut your (expletive deleted) face. Fawdda's right. There ain't no Purgatory no more." Catholics have learned to defend conciliarism's errors at the point of fisticuffs, if necessary, oblivious to the fact that their own sensus Catholicus has been destroyed and replaced by the synthetic falsehoods of Modernism's false religion, conciliarism, which have, both advertently and inadvertently, reinforced the falsehoods of Modernity itself.

Lack of belief in Purgatory was epidemic on Long Island under the egregious reign of the late John Raymond McGann from 1976 to 2000.

A dentist, now deceased, was incredulous when I mentioned that I was offering up the suffering associated with what turned out to be his botched root canal job on one of my teeth (that had to be extracted in January of 2005 in February of 2003 to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, trusting that she would the merit earned from an endurance of the pain for the needs of the Poor Souls in Purgatory.

"Purgatory!" the dentist exclaimed. "I thought they got rid of that."

I assured the dentist that one of his patients, now a "monsignor," could set him straight if he did not believe me.

Using a diminutive of the priest's first name, the dentist said, "(Nickname of priest) believes in Purgatory? I'll have to ask him.

The epidemic of a lack of belief in Purgatory in the conciliar structures is not, course, confined to the revolutionary stronghold known as the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

A Catholic man in his seventies in a Midwestern state assured us within the past five years that his deceased wife was in Heaven. He did not want to hear about the simple Catholic teaching that we can never presume the state of any person's soul after death, that we must pray for that soul and have Masses offered for the soul's happy repose. No prayer is ever wasted. Our Lady will direct the fruit of the prayers and Rosaries for the deceased that we pray and the Masses that we arrange to have offered for them to some other suffering soul if the one(s) we are praying for has (have) been released from Purgatory or, God forbid, have been condemned to Hell. Our job is to keep praying for the deceased no matter what.

Similarly, a Catholic woman in her late forties assured us recently that her husband, who had died after a long struggle with cancer, was in Heaven. She as most adamant in not wanting to hear a word about Purgatory. "I have my beliefs," she told us. And those beliefs were taught to her by one conciliar revolutionary after another.

Time and time again the story has been the same no matter where we have traveled. This is no accident. This is the direct result of the conciliar revolution, which has begun to manifest its rotten fruit in Catholic cemeteries.

The false religion of conciliarism is all about the celebration of "human dignity" and of our own "essential goodness." The collects of the "ordinary form" of what is said to be the Roman Rite in the counterfeit church of conciliarism has no references to a God Who judges or to the possibility of the eternal loss of one's souls for all eternity in Hell. The emphasis in false liturgy of a false liturgy is on a perverted, distorted, sentimentally-driven view of the "love of God" that is at the foundation of the "new theology" that Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI learned during his seminary days and to which he remains so very committed. Indeed, a distorted concept of "love" is what has been at the essence of each of his "encyclical letters" thus far, and there is one on the horizon that is said will contain the heresy that souls in states of Mortal Sin lose Faith because they have lost Charity.

Such heresy has been "communicated" in any number of ways in the counterfeit church of conciliarism. It has wrecked the sensus Catholicus of ordinary Catholics and replaced it with Martin Luther's sin of Presumption so that most of them believe that there is almost nothing that they can think, believe, say or do that will cost them what they believe is yet another "entitlement program," entrance into the glory of the Beatific Vision of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost for all eternity in Heaven.

The effects of the blasphemies, apostasies, sacrileges and heresies of conciliarism are everywhere to behold, yes, even, as mentioned just above, in cemeteries.

We visited Saint Mary's Cemetery in Hamilton, Ohio, on Friday, November 9, 2012, to pray the entire Rosary for the souls buried there. We could not, though, but notice the "novel" headstones of those who have died in recent decades that are but a reflection of the novel practices and beliefs of the false religion that is conciliarism.

It would have been wrong, we believe, to have photographed those headstones as to do so would be to violate the privacy of the relatives of those who have died and, given how word about these articles seems to get around to those who are mentioned in them even though they may never have heard of this site beforehand, we did not want to unduly antagonize those relatives, who are themselves victims of the falsehoods of the false religion of conciliarism.

Suffice it to say that headstones were adorned with photographs, some of them featuring people who were dressed very immodestly during their lives and thus, unbeknownst to the relatives, heaps on the souls of their loved ones even more time in Purgatory (if their souls are there), of the deceased. Catholic cemeteries have become a veritable reflection of the "celebration of self" that is the Protestant and Masonic Novus Ordo worship service.

Other headstones have etchings of guitars or automobiles or footballs or baseballs. Some had photographs of the deceased's favorite automobiles. The emblems of local sports teams adorned or were etched into the headstones of some of those who had died in recent decades. One of those buried in Saint Mary's Cemetery in Hamilton, Ohio, had the Chevrolet emblem engraved into his headstone. Several had stone statuettes of dogs or cats that were made part of the burial plot.

This is all pagan. Every single bit of it. This new paganism is, though, simply a manifestation of the "reconciliation" that the false conciliar religion has made with the false spirits of the "world," a "reconciliation" that is sewn into the very "fabric" of the "Second" Vatican Council, the "magisterium" of the conciliar "popes" and, of course, the false, sacramentally barren liturgical rites that all but a handful of warring Catholics believe have been issued by the Catholic Church.

Mind you, we are not blaming the souls buried in Saint Mary's Cemetery or their relatives for doing that which was not done prior to the dawning of the age of conciliarism and would have been thought impossible before that time. Not at all.

I am, though, attempting to explain that the Poor Souls are being punished by concilairism just as much, if not more, than anyone else in this time of apostasy and betrayal.

This is why we continue to have a solemn obligation to pray and to make sacrifices for the Poor Souls, not only in this month of November but on every day of the year in every month without exception.

Believe me, the souls in Purgatory for whom we pray and have Masses offered as we entrust them to the loving care of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary will be grateful to us for all eternity if we remain steadfast in our fidelity to their needs. They will pray for us to have a happy, holy, sacramentally-provided for death. They will be our best friends for all eternity if we befriend them now.

Keep up those prayers and thoughts for our beloved dead, who are being punished after death by the conciliar revolutionaries who deceived them during life. May we never make any concessions whatsoever to the falsehoods of concilairism or to the nonexistent legitimacy of the men who claim to be its "shepherds" but who are nothing other than spiritual robber barons who expelled themselves from the bosom of the true Church long ago.

The words of Pope Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis, September 8, 1907, explained very clear that:

 

It remains for Us now to say a few words about the Modernist as reformer. From all that has preceded, it is abundantly clear how great and how eager is the passion of such men for innovation. In all Catholicism there is absolutely nothing on which it does not fasten. (Pope Saint Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis, September 8, 1907.)

Modernists fasten even on the dead, punishing even the Poor Souls in Purgatory.

The path to Heaven can be trod only by those who are willing to bear the Cross and to lift it high in their daily lives. considering it our privilege to hear the Immemorial Mass of Tradition offered at the hands of true bishops and priests who reject conciliarism, seeking only to live in such a way that we will be ready at all times to die in a state of Sanctifying Grace as a member of the Catholic Church, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order.

It's the Faith that matters, the entire Faith without any compromises, now and for all eternity.

Aren't we willing to suffer some more for the Poor Souls as we consecrate ourselves anew to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary?

Viva Cristo Rey! Vivat Christus Rex!
