Hugh Akins would like to share this update with everyone on CathInfo --

Greetings in Our Lord Jesus Christ the King!

I’d like to share some encouraging news. I will submit it in the form of a brief update relative to two topics that have recently been posted on this site:

(1) My open letter explaining the reasons the League of Christ the King was forced to sever all ties with the SSPX-Marian Corps; and

(2) Sean Johnson’s very excellent Catechetical Refutation which is presently being published by the League in booklet form.

In the short period of time that these two writings have materialized – and in response to them,
29 new pro-Resistance people subscribed to the League’s official quarterly magazine, Oportet Christum Regnare, at least one-third of them saying it was because
(a) we’ve remained loyal to Bp. Williamson and/or
(b) we’ve finally opened their eyes to all that was wrong with the Marian Corps and their cohort, The Recusant of the UK.?
7 existing subscribers renewed early and sent in a donation to show their continuing support, perhaps in appreciation for the position we’ve taken or in anticipation of future attacks to come either from Pfeifferville, KY, The Recusant, or both;

32 more folks renewed whose subscriptions were about to expire (and that was after reading my hard-hitting 5-page insert about the MC and about Sean Johnson’s theological Refutation);

And after all the smoke settled, only one individual cancelled her subscription, which I found quite amazing, as I expected a dozen or more cancellations. Several others did let me know that they disagreed with my letter and Sean’s study, but only that one lady asked for a refund and for the removal of her name from our mailing list;

And now, I actually have so many requests for A Catechetical Refutation that the initial printing has nearly sold out – even before I’ve received the shipment from the printer, or mailed out one single copy, or any real advertising was done to promote the booklet; or even before it has been posted on my website. Imagine how many more copies might be ordered when we get around to announcing to the world its availability!

I have already begun seriously thinking in terms of a 2nd printing – again, even before the 1st printing has seen the light of day. Correspondingly, Sean Johnson is already planning on drafting an appendix for the 2nd edition, to include additional private refutations.
How’s that for some encouraging news? But wait! – there’s more to come.
Father * wrote to inform Sean Johnson that he would not be joining the MC in Boston, Kentucky, as he originally planned. What changed this good priest’s mind was a careful reading of A Catechetical Refutation, coupled with a cordial and most fruitful exchange of emails with its author. Congratulations, Sean Johnson, for a job well done!
True, these are small victories, but victories nonetheless, especially the rescue of a priest from the clutches of the Marian Corps. I’m beginning to think that the MC has hurt themselves more than the Resistance as a whole, which wisely stood behind Bishops Williamson, Faure and Aquinas. Catholics are not as blind as the MC may have thought – and perhaps hoped.

With all this good news I am reminded of what His Excellency Bishop Williamson wrote in the Foreword to the 2nd English edition of Fr. Rioult’s The Impossible Reconciliation, namely, that no matter how “insignificant” the true Resistance may be in numbers at this time, it is “SURELY ENOUGH for God’s purposes!”

A profound thought to reflect on.

Onward, good soldiers of Christ!

This weekend I received Oportet Christum Regnare.  I highly recommend it to Catholics.

I just got mine a few days ago- I feel fortunate to have found out about through Cathinfo.

It is terribly odd how so few contemporary Catholics seem to have any serious comprehension of the sacramental economy of the Church.  The dominance of Anabaptism/Pentecostalism (i.e., the Neo-Liberal Marxist religion of Pope Francis and the Novus Ordo) is such that only the legitimate apostolic succession of clergy is debated, but not the underlying and more essential topic of the legitimacy of the contemporary sacramental economy of the Church as such.

This can be seen as the basic problem with Sedevacantism itself.  The Sedevacantists seem to believe that the essential Crisis of the Church is simply some few juridical mistakes in this or that Papal election process, such that if only those few juridical mistakes could be righted, then all would be well.  This approach also ties in with most Sedevacantists" half-Protestant view of the Church as a centralised non-confederal Asiatic despotism rather than as a confederal Roman Imperium of free citizens under variations of historic Roman Law, which law fully includes both the Civil Law from the European Continent and the Common Law that once prevailed in England and her many former colonies.  Hence for most Sedevacantists the relevant issue is simply the Papacy and who holds the Petrine Office, as if we Romans were some variety of historic Chinamen only concerned with the will of a Divine Tyrant hidden far away somewhere in some mysterious Forbidden City.  They practically equate the Papacy with Chinese Emperors, not realising that Holy Mother Church is a sacramental economy rather than just another tyranny of just another Asiatic Divine Tyrant On High.

The Roman Pontiff is no brutal Henry the Eighth or tyrannical King of Prussia.  The sacramental economy of the Church allows us to be freemen in the Divine Confederation of Christendom with full rights of Roman citizenship.  And therefore the Church exists primarily to educate and teach free Christian men to be brave and think for themselves, not primarily to tell Roman citizens what to think like in some commonplace run-of-the-mill Asiatic or Protestant Despotism.  In brief, Fideism is only a more extreme version of the Protestant rationalist heresy.  Fideist Dogmatic Sedevacantism is not Catholic.

The greatest strength of Mr. Patric's argument is that in his argument he includes the incarnate nature of Catholicism as a religion uniquely incarnated within human history and not merely imposed on the human race from above by some capricious and tyrannical False God, such as for example the despotic Allah of the Muslims.  In other words, Catholics recognise and champion the divinity of the Whole Christ, culminating in Our Lord's role as the Almighty Lord of History.
 
The Novus Ordo sacraments can not possibly have been legitimately promulgated.  It should be clear as crystal to Catholic men that the Apocalypse began to be unleashed on earth with the Second World War, and especially with its wildly apocalyptic climax in 1945.  If that was not the beginning of the end of human history and historic Christendom, then what might be?  The Red Hordes were unleashed in the Second World War and have overwhelmed everything on earth in the decades since then.  At present the human race is actually dead, utterly dead, dead dead, dead as a doornail and we live in a world filled with ghosts, dim reflections of the Christian civilisation that once was and distant fading echoes of a living Roman human race that is no more.

Functioning progressing time and Christian civilisation are no more, so why on earth would the sacraments of the Novus Ordo be legitimate or valid?  What utopian fantasy that must be.  (From September 1962 - June 1963 Paul VI seized the Vatican in a shamelessly obvious violent military coup fully sponsored by the Soviet K.G.B.)  We are instead in the thick of the Apocalypse with armed Christian Nationalist warriors currently storming the barricades in every major capital city of the Western world.  The False Prophet presumes to sit on the Papal Throne, the Antichrist (in person) occupies the White House and both of them threaten Nuclear Armageddon lest the Christians retake Jerusalem from the Jєωs.  The Signs of the Times should be clear enough to us.

The sacramental economy of the Novus Ordo is indeed unapproved and the practical historic significance of that matters greatly.  If the Novus Ordo is simply a bogus Marxist-Jєωιѕн abomination of desolation in the holy sanctuary, then everything ought to be transparent to Roman Catholic men.  

Fight for Trump, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.  As is said, let the good times roll...
