Vatican “War”
To Vatican Two will Catholics wake up ever?
They surely wake up better late than never!
In today’s crisis of the Church, of an unprecedented gravity in all Church history, it is most important that Catholics should give due importance both to the Traditional movement and to the Catholic Church outside the Traditional movement. Tradition in its broadest sense, meaning everything which Our Lord entrusted to his Church to be handed down (tradendum in Latin) to world’s end, is indispensable to the Church, and the Traditional movement has played an indispensable part in preserving Traditional doctrine and sacraments from their destruction by the Conciliar Revolution over the last half-century. But to survive, the Traditional movement had to place itself outside the normal hierarchical structure of the Church, and that structure is very much part of Tradition – “Peter, feed my sheep” (Jn XXI, 17). Therefore however deep is the Conciliar corruption in Rome, Catholics must still be looking to Rome.
It is incuмbent on all Catholics to "look to Rome," because
"...he that shall persevere to the end, he shall be saved" (Matt. xxiv. 13).
It is a dogma of the Faith that every human creature must be subject to the Roman Pontiff. Along with that we see that
"For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. Behold I have told it to you, beforehand" (Matt. xxiv. 24, 25).
We should not be deceived:
"Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves" (Matt. x. 16).
We live in a time when two millennia of Church teaching is a matter of record accessible largely by anyone. Therefore when the "Bishop of Rome" would seem to teach heresy, we can see through the error with the Grace of God. Bishop Williamson is a voice crying out in the wilderness for those with ears to hear. God bless Bishop Williamson!
Hence the interest of the following report from inside Rome by the Founder and Director of an American Novus Ordo publication, LifeSiteNews. Steve Jalsevac normally visits Rome twice a year with colleagues to talk with all kinds of contacts in Rome, the better to be able to assess how the situation in the Church is developing. From his late November visit he published on December 16 a “deeply worrying” report of his impressions of the situation in Rome today. Extracts follow:?—
Today Fr. Defour gave a sermon (intended for tomorrow) in which he mentioned this very topic, to our edification. It comes as a shock to some of us to hear that Pope Francis is entangled in a deception (rooted between his ears) in which he is diligently uprooting all of Catholic Tradition, the latest news being his FIRING of high-placed conservative clerics whose job it has been to do God's work in the Vatican. He said that these men can't just go out and find another job when their specialty is theology and such religious matters in the Church. In a very real sense, to them Rome is their home and they are being cast out where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, as if they're not wearing a Wedding Garment!
Liberalism ("ʝʊdɛօ-masonic enclave" and the "Mossad assisting in the occupation and electronic surveillance of its citizenry") is aggressively rotting the Vatican from THE INSIDE OUT.
“Our Nov. 16–23 visit to Rome was the most dramatic of many such twice-per-year work trips we have taken there during the past 10 years. After meeting with cardinals, bishops and other Vatican agency and dicastery staff, our new Rome reporter John-Henry Westen, Jan Bentz, and I saw a consistent pattern of widespread anxiety and very real fear among faithful Church servants. We have never encountered this before. Many were afraid of being removed from their positions, fired from their jobs in Vatican agencies or of encountering severe public or private reprimands and personal accusations from those around the Pope or even from Francis himself. They are also fearful and anxious about the great damage being done to the Church and being helpless to stop it.
Kyrie eleison.Francis was also in the news recently when he appointed about 17 new Cardinals, ALL of whom are by far the most liberal bishops in the world, such that the next conclave will be severely stacked against Tradition even more than previously.
Fr. Defour offered a pithy observation of his own here, saying that all over the world today, Catholics bearing the Traditional Cross are encountering an ever-increasing penance in their personal lives where everything they do is being corrupted and they are meeting challenges in the world that appear to have a demonic element directed at them because of their Faith. He said that we are being called by God to persevere under this increasing trials so we can make reparation for the sins of the world all around us. He gave examples of the attack on the Family which is the basic building block of society, making mention specifically for the benefit of the youth of today, to same sex so-called marriage, because it is an inexcusable injustice to a child to be adopted into such a household since a child needs a father and a mother, not two men or two women.
He asked us, "What is the single most powerful invention of the 20th century?" and suggested TV, or the Internet, or movies. Then he paused and someone said, "The Pill." He replied, "Exactly so." The Pill has been the single most devastating invention of the 20th century, the beginning of its approval starting with the Lambeth conference (a Protestant group) in the 1930's. When Pope Paul VI attempted to teach against contraception (with Humanae Vitae, 1966) the bishops of the world ignored him. He said "They laughed at him."
“. . . . Catholic universities in Rome are watched and professors’ lectures screened to ensure they fall in line with a liberal interpretation of Amoris Laetitia. Clerics are reported to Superiors if they are overheard expressing concerns about Pope Francis. Many are afraid to speak openly, even though in the past they were always very willing. Vatican reporters told us they were warned numerous times not to report on the dubia (the questions raised by Cardinal Burke and three other Cardinals as to doctrine contained in Amoris Laetitia). I have heard reports that the Vatican is like an occupied state. Certain sources I’ve spoken with have a fear that communications with Vatican officials are being monitored; some have even reported suspicious anomalies in their telephone conversations in which, after a dropped call, the audio of the last moments of their conversation has played over and over again on a loop, as though they are hearing a recording. Some individuals who work within the Vatican are advising their contacts on the outside not to share sensitive information via email or their Vatican-issued cell phones.
Hillary's e-mails are not the only ones under scrutiny!
“We have to wonder where all of this is going. It is deeply, deeply concerning. The common phrase we kept hearing that week in Rome is that there is a “war” going on in the Church – a war of the “The Spirit of Vatican II” progressives against the orthodox Catholics. One person after another shockingly used the word “war.” I have never experienced anything like this in my lifetime and I am sure most, if not all regular LifeSite readers, can say the same thing.”
I would dare to add one word to this:
There is a “war” going on in the Church – a war of the “The UNCLEAN Spirit of Vatican II” progressives against the orthodox Catholics.Traditionalists may say that the four Cardinals and Mr Jalsevac are victims of Vatican II, waking up a little late, but let nobody say that they do not mean or intend to be Catholic. The Church will only be healed when true Doctrine and the true Hierarchy come together again, so let Traditionalists pray urgently for these souls waking up to the Conciliar war. May God give them light and strength.
Kyrie eleison.
Fr. Defour (a Holy Ghost father, whose Superior General prior to 1964 was Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre) also gave us this final word, that it is the Family Rosary that is our weapon. Pray the Family Rosary every day. Sometimes he hears a parent complain that his spouse doesn't like the Rosary -- "Well, then say it yourself!" We must keep praying the Rosary of Our Lady, for she alone is the Destroyer of All Heresies.
