JOHN XXIII OPENS THE WINDOWS
     In 1962 Pope John convened the Second Vatican Council with the excuse the Church needed modernization, or - as he called it - "aggiornamento." He convinced himself that he would be the chosen prophet to launch this project of updating the Church. Probably because of this sweet illusion, he did not realize that behind his plan the trap of Satan was hiding.
           When Pope John proclaimed his "aggiornamento" as the supreme law of the Church, to all practical purposes, he lifted himself above all the defined doctrines of the Church. No wonder that the secular newsmedia elevated him to the highest degree of popularity.
     Then, instead of opposing communism, as his predecessors had done, Pope John XXIII stretched out a helping hand toward it - again in the name of "aggiornamento." While Catholic bishops, priests and laypeople were suffering imprisonment, torture and death by the hands of communists, Pope John invited to the Vatican, and received with full decorum, Adzhubey, a high-ranking official in the Kremlin, the son-in-law of Khrushchev, the communist dictator of Russia.
     This rupture with the past of the Church entailed serious consequences. The friendly reception did not stop the persecution of Christians in Russia, but gave a big boost to communist parties in the West. People in the world have noticed the changing winds - at the Italian national elections which followed the Adzhubey visit, the Italian Communist Party gained one million more votes than it had received at the previous election.  The one million vote package was a gift from the pope to communism, and a blow to the Christian government of Italy - from which blow that government has never been able to recover. No wonder that the secular newsmedia catapulted John XXIII to the highest realms of human popularity. He became their idol - the noble, gentle, saintly, lovable darling of the world. But for the Church he and his Council were a disaster.
     Through the manipulations of Modernist infiltrators, the Council passed several ambiguous resolutions (some writers call them "time-bombs") which, later in the hands of liberal committees, were used for changing the Catholic religion into a Protestant sect.
     Pope John, convoking the Council, told us that he acted under the inspiration of the Spirit. But today, seeing the disastrous consequences of that Council, we can be sure that his inspiration did not come from the Spirit of God.

THE SMOKE OF SATAN ENTERED THE CHURCH
     Every dedicated Catholic will readily admit that this terrible destruction of the Church in the wake of Vatican II could not happen without the manipulation of Satan. Pope Paul VI himself testified to this when he said: "The smoke of Satan entered the Church." (We are free to assume that he meant: heresy, immorality, revolt against God.)
     - How could the smoke of Satan enter the Church? How could Satan gain influence and spread his poisonous errors inside the Church, if not by deception?
     The guardians of the true faith: priests, bishops and especially the Pope would never allow satanic errors to enter the Church, were not these errors disguised in innocent looking attire.
     It was necessary for Satan to devise a disguise, attractive enough for contemporary men, through which he could carry his poisonous smoke into the inner circles of the Church.  Satan is a good psychologist. He knows that modern men worship progress in sciences. He knows how everybody in our society wishes to keep up with progress and adapt himself to the latest developments in housing, schools, medicine, travel, entertainment, etc. which is in itself all right: e.g., you do nothing wrong if you trade in your old car or refrigerator for a new, more efficient one. (But it would be different with your Catholic religion!)
     Thus, Satan, in the idea of AGGIORNAMENTO, offered an irresistable appeal to the pride of modern men, including churchmen. With the offer came a suggestion, that if AGGIORNAMENTO is useful in material things, it should be useful also in spiritual things. The AGGIORNAMENTO, therefore, was offered as a blanket-cover to all the phases of human life - material and spiritual.
     Here lies the trap, the deception for human souls. If you are unable to discover this trap, you will necessarily fall victim to Satan. Nobody is immune to this danger, not even the Pope. Also (you can bet on it) Satan will reach for the top prize, which is the seduction of the Pope. Then, through obedience to the Pope, he can gain practically the whole Church. The infallibility of the Pope does not protect him from falling into sin, if he does not protect himself by using the ordinary means of sanctification.
     This is exactly what happened.  Satan deceived the pope. The Pope deceived the bishops, with a few praiseworthy exceptions. The bishops deceived the priests, again with a few praiseworthy exceptions. The priests deceived the people, again with a few intellectual exceptions.
     Those who belong to the privileged exceptions are the building blocks of the REMNANT CATHOLIC CHURCH - as St. Paul said: ". . . at the present time there is a remnant left, selected out of grace" (Romans 11, 5).
This REMNANT CATHOLIC CHURCH carries on the true doctrine, the true Sacrifice of the Mass and the promise of Christ that the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against His Church.
     In June 1980 the Vatican decided to learn how many and what kind of people in the Church were determined to keep the immemorial Latin Mass against the New Mass. Thus, Cardinal Knox sent out an inquiry to all the bishops of the formerly Latin Rite. Interesting to note that the bishops did not bother to poll the people for their choice. They sent in their answers to the Vatican Survey without learning the wish of the people.
     Among the several comments that the bishops sent to the Vatican, there was one of particular interest to us. One part of the report said that most of the traditional Catholics have an "uncommon level of culture." In plain English it means that the majority of traditional Catholics possess an intellectual capacity which is higher than the average educational level.
     Indeed, these are the people whom the ecuмenical brainwashers could not poison with the heresy of Modernism. (Survey printed in NOTITIAE, Dec. 1981.) These are the people who do not worship the beast of the Antichrist. These are the people whose names are written in "the Book of Life" (Apoc. 13, 8).

CORRUPTION FROM THE TOP
     These people were able to discover that AGGIORNAMENTO was a satanic trap which did not bring progress, but degradation to the once great Catholic Church. The corruption came from the top. John XXIII let himself be fooled by an evil spirit. It cannot be otherwise. Seeing the terrible consequences which came upon the Church from this Council, we are sure that these did not come from the Holy Ghost; they came from another spirit whose name is Satan.
     - What was the point at which John XXIII committed his fatal mistake?
     His mistake was that he did not heed the advice of the Apostle St. John. He did not check out the spirit which brought him the so-called "inspiration." St. John the Apostle in his first letter to the disciples gave an explicit warning regarding inspiration. He said:
     "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone forth into the world. By this is the spirit of God known: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, is of God. And every spirit that severs Jesus, is not of God, but is of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard he is coming, and now is already in the world." (I Jn. 4, 1-3).
     According to this teaching John XXIII should have submitted his inspiration to the judgement of those who were experts in the knowledge of discerning the spirits. But he did not do it. Actually, some Cardinals expressed their concern that this was not the time to convoke a General Council which might produce some undesirable consequences. But Pope John did not listen to them. He went ahead with his plan. He convoked the Second Vatican Council which opened its sessions on October 11, 1962. The blanket concept of AGGIORNAMENTO blinded the Pope and bishops, as the satanic plan was put into motion.
     A sound Catholic mind will understand that AGGIORNAMENTO (modernization) is justified in material things, where God has given mankind the task: "Subdue the earth" (Gen. 2, 28). But AGGIORNAMENTO is absolutely impossible in the realm of truth as revealed by God. Whoever makes an attempt to do it, will not bring forth progress, but destruction. Exactly that was what happened to the Church in the wake of Vatican II; an unparalleled destruction in her entire history.
     Pope John did not live long enough to see the terrible consequences of his mistake. He died on June 3, 1963.
     It was, then, the job of his successor, Paul VI, to continue the "autodemolition" of the Church. In that endeavor - no doubt - he proved himself as the greatest expert in the history of the Church.

THE CULT OF MAN
     To this end he offered two specific contributions:
     1.) In the Church he replaced the cult of God with the cult of man.
     2.) He removed from the Church the Sacrifice of the New and Everlasting Covenant, i.e., the Immemorial Sacrifice of the Mass.
     Both of these changes were absolutely necessary if somebody wanted to prepare the way for the Antichrist.
     In October 1965, Paul VI visited the headquarters of the United Nations Organization in New York City, where he declared the Communist dominated organization as "the last hope of mankind for peace." By this he publicly denied Jesus Christ who said: "I am the way, the truth and life . . ." (Jn. 14, 6). "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you" (Jn. 14, 27).
     Paul VI had also conveniently forgotten what St. Peter the first Pope said, that beside the name Jesus "there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4, 12).
     Paul VI evidently had more faith in the godless UN than in Christ; that is why he said that the UN is "the last hope of mankind for peace." Of course, such a pronouncement, no doubt, earned him a great deal of popularity among the newsmedia and among the Catholic masses brainwashed by the newsmedia.
     When Paul VI has repeatedly heralded the "cult of man," the glory of man, as the highest ideal for progress, he literally put man "above all that is called God." (2 Thess. 2, 4).
     The angelic song said: "Glory to God in the highest . . ." The ancient Psalm said: "Praise the Lord, for he is good: sing praise to our Lord, for he is gracious; it is fitting to praise him" (Ps. 147, 1). And again: "Glorify the Lord Jerusalem; praise your Lord O Sion" (Ps. 147, 12). "Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise him in the heights; praise him all you angels . . . Praise him sun and moon; praise him all you shining stars. Praise him you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens" (Ps. 148, 1-3).
     Let us listen now to Paul VI. At the time of the first moon-landing, you could read in the OSSERVATORE ROMANO (the official newspaper of the Vatican) untiring praises of man coming from the mouth of the Pope.
     "Honor to man, honor to thought, honor to science, honor to technique, honor to work, honor to the boldness of man, honor to the synthesis of scientific and organizing ability of man, who unlike other animals, knows how to give his spirit and his manual dexterity these instruments of conquest. Honor to man, king of the earth, and today Prince of heaven" . . .[2]
     It is interesting, however, to remember that while Paul VI was heralding the glory of man, those astronauts traveling in space found it appropriate to read aloud a quotation from the Bible praising God, the Creator of heaven and earth. But Paul VI was more fascinated by the achievement of men than by the work of God. He said: "Man both is giant and divine, in his origin and in his destiny. Honor therefore to man, honor to his dignity, to his spirit and to his life." (To the Fathers of the Council on Dec. 7, 1965.) "We also, more than anyone else, have the cult of man."[3]
     It was the ancient serpent in the Garden who first offered his service for promoting the cult of man. He said to Eve: If you listen to me, and do what I suggest, "you will be like God" (Gen. 3, 5).
     Yes, the cult of man is the best preparation for the way of the Antichrist.

REMOVAL OF THE SACRIFICE OF THE MASS
     The second largest piece of demolition work made by Paul VI was the removal of the Sacrifice of the Mass from the Church, which has had the built-in power to restrain Satan and his Antichrist.
     In order to remove the ancient Sacrifice of the Mass, Paul VI with the help of six Protestant ministersÄfabricated a new liturgy for the cult of man. He called it the Mass of the New Order. (Novus Ordo Mass.) Then, he proposed it to the Church for acceptance.
     The acceptance was less than enthusiastic. A lot of people have expressed their displeasure by dropping out of church-attendance. But those who remained, accepted the man-made forgery without much reluctance. This phenomenon can be explained only with the successful satanic deception which has been guaranteed for the Antichrist. "All the earth followed the beast in wonder." (Apoc. 13, 4.)
