This year, Thanksgiving Day falls on November 28th, which
will be the 4th day after traditional chapels read from Matthew
xxiv at Mass, in the Last Sunday after Pentecost.  

That day has been usurped by the devil in the Newcalendar
to be Christ the King Sunday in Newchurch.  There were three
reasons to do that, none of them good reasons.

First and foremost was, in order to spread confusion in the
Church.  This was the primary purpose of ALL the changes in
the Newcalendar of Newchurch.

Second was to divest Christ the King Sunday of any hint of
its importance in our world and to relegate it to an exiled
position in the next life alone, where it can be practically
forgotten, because Newchruch doesn't think much about the
next life.  The end of the liturgical year is the last Sunday
before Advent, and traditionally Holy Mother Church ends
the year as an analogy of the end of the world, with the
primary Gospel that touches on that theme, Matt. xxiv.  
When the year ends, it is as if we are then out of time in
this world.  The Social Kingship of Our Lord belongs in our
world, today, before it's too late.  The time for Jesus Christ
King is NOW, while there is still time for Him to help us.  
When this Feast Day is maintained where Pope Pius XI
originally placed it, at the last Sunday in October, there is a
whole MONTH of time, (November) while we can have Christ
the King in our hearts and on our minds, as He should be.


Third was to displace the most bothersome reading of the
twenty-fourth chapter of St. Matthew, and thereby to banish
it once and for all, where it may be henceforth forgotten
altogether.  


In context of the Scripture readings of yesterday, the 4th Sunday
after Epiphany, this threefold attack on the Mass in this time of
year, above, is a test of our faith.  We are called to a higher level
of discernment.  We see the abomination of Newchurch doing its
horrors to the Mass and sacraments and we are called to see it
for what it is, an abomination in the sight of God, and we do not
have to abide by it.  

When such things happen, we are free and capable of reverting to
a time and a form for the Mass that is reliable, a time like that
which was in practice before the changes that began this revolution,
changes that started in their incipient form under the pontificate of
Pope Pius XII, in his unnecessary and pernicious tampering with
the most ancient liturgy of the Church at that time, IOW Holy Week.


In context of this thread, my priest explained during his sermon
yesterday that the American national tradition of Thanksgiving
Day is rooted in protestantism, insofar as it was another attack
against the Mass and against the Holy Church of Rome in the
17th century.  And when the Puritan pilgrims had their little party
in New England, they had several things in mind.  

First of all, it was not the first THANKSGIVING DAY in America,
for that had taken place nearly a hundred years prior to then, in
the southern part of the continent, when Catholics thanked God
for their good fortune in the New World at St. Augustine, Florida,
the first settlement in America.  They had Catholic Mass, the
same Mass that we have today in the Canonized Traditional Latin
Mass.

Second, the Puritans called themselves that because they believed
that the Protestant reformers, that is Luther and Edward VIII,
were too Catholic.  They wanted to STRIP from their (false) religion
every vestige of Catholicism to arrive at something more "pure" or
Puritan.  Notice the similarity with the reasons that Newchurch
gives for making changes in the Newcalendar and in the Newmass.  

And third, the Puritans set up this so-called Thanksgiving Day
to take the place of Christmas, because they saw the worship of
the Christ Child as silliness, since he was only a baby, and he had
not done anything yet, so why bother?  You may have noted other
CI members having mentioned this scruple on other threads
recently:  why worship Jesus in HIs infancy or in His Incarnation?
He had not 'DONE' anything yet.

While that feast day was supposed to displace Christmas, it was
ironically a feast day, and the Puritans didn't like any kind of
feast days, for they disdained the principle of feast days, since it
was too Catholic.  They hated the Church and everything about
it.  Remember, Luther and Edward VIII were too Catholic for
them.  Curiously, it would seem that to the present Newchurch,
Luther and Edward VIII were likewise too Catholic, and so were
the PURITANS!!!!!  

There are numerous fall-outs from this principle, among which
is the American commercialization of Christmas, which was
manifested in the marketing scheme whereby the day after
Thanksgiving Day was the "busiest shopping day of the year,"
and popularly celebrated as the Grand Holy Day of Materialism.

But now, even while vestiges of that stupid concept persist,
even after several people have lost their lives in mayhem and
stampedes resulting in the before-daybreak-opening of stores
on the DAY AFTER (reminiscent of RU-486), the effect has
been translated effectively to the next earlier 'holiday' of
materialism, Halloween.  Now, marketing schemes are being
rolled out in late October in some strange attempt to 'snag' the
early Christmas shoppers with any kind of gimmick imaginable.  

All of this is what it is, but in effect, it centers on a persistent
effort to rob souls of any devotion to Our Lord, and any
awareness of the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Advent is supposed to be a time of temperance, mild fasting,
penance, and anticipation of the arrival of Jesus in His
Most Holy Incarnation, which we then ADORE without any
hint of reservation.  There is no external act of devotion too
extreme or 'ridiculous' when it comes to the Most Sacred
Infant Jesus.  

Christmas is the day when it all BEGINS, and it continues,
the Christmas season does, until February 2nd, Candlemas
Day.  Eastern Catholics celebrate the Epiphany (January
6th) as Christmas Day.  

But the spirit of the world, and the unclean spirit of Vat.II
would have us forget about all that and party hardy all during
Advent, to the point where by the time Christmas comes, we
are 'TIRED OF ALL THE CHRISTMAS MUSIC' which we've
been hearing NONSTOP in all the media and stores for the
past TWO MONTHS.  And we throw out our decorations
as if they are garbage the DAY AFTER Christmas
(reminiscent once again).



These are all things to keep in mind as we approach "the holidays"
this year, and as far as that goes, EVERY year.
