The rightly-ordered Catholic priest (not one attracted to a lifestyle contra naturam) gives his life entirely to Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. Christ is my friend, my God and my Savior. The Catholic Church is my mother, and I hope to stand as the best-man for her bridegroom, Christ, in His marriage to her in the Apocalypse. You lay people also love the Catholic Church, but some of you can’t understand how personal it is when I see modernists invade her. It’s like watching your own mother be harmed by intruders who have no rights to be in your home, especially when she is all you have.
How do I feel about those who hurt my mother? I’m extremely angry and sad. I guess that makes me a Mad-Trad and a Sad-Trad. But I stand in good company for those who defend something they love. St. John Chrysostom said: “He who is not angry when he has cause to be, sins. For unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices. It fosters negligence and incites not only the wicked but the good to do wrong.”
The Catholic Church can be only One. So when a counterfeit-church deceives people called to enter the True and Apostolic Church, it should make any Apostolic-minded man angry or sad when unwitting souls are deceived. I was in Rome this summer and even though I saw so many beautiful Churches on the outside, what was happening on the inside was a sick abomination as it was overrun by modernists. And remember modernists are not even Catholic according to Pope St. Pius X.
In the 19th century, Bl. Catherine Emmerich seems to have had visions of a future Rome overrun by “a sect.” Could that “sect” simply be the modernists? It seems so, for she wrote about those future troubles coming upon the Vatican:
I saw the fatal consequences of this counterfeit church; I saw it increase; I saw heretics of all kinds flocking to the city. I saw the ever-increasing tepidity of the clergy, the circle of darkness ever widening. And now the vision became more extended. I saw in all places Catholics oppressed, annoyed, restricted, and deprived of liberty, churches were closed, and great misery prevailed everywhere with war and bloodshed. I saw rude, ignorant people offering violent resistance, but this state of things lasted not long. Again I saw in vision St. Peter’s undermined according to a plan devised by the secret sect while, at the same time, it was damaged by storms; but it was delivered at the moment of greatest distress. Again I saw the Blessed Virgin extending her mantle over it.
Notice in her above vision, the true Catholics who try to keep the traditional faith would one day be “oppressed, annoyed, restricted, and deprived of liberty.” Of course, that sounds exactly like traditionalists suffering under modernists the world over. In fact, she just added: “Churches were closed.” Clearly, that sounds like the world of Apostolic Catholics post-Traditiones Custodes.
Bl. Emmerich had a vision in 1822 about a Rome of the future. It reads exactly as the recent LGBT pilgrimage (see above) to St. Peter’s Basilica and the Gesù:
I saw heartrending misery, playing, drinking, gossiping, even courting going on in the Church. All sorts of abominations were committed in it; they had even set up a ninepin alley in the middle of it. The priests let things go their way and said Mass very irreverently; only a few of them were still a little intelligent and pious.
Yet all of this can be traced back to Vatican II, if not before. In May 1994, a French priest named Fr. Raymond Arnette claimed he was given a locution revealing what the Third Secret of Fatima originally was:
There will be a wicked council planned and prepared that will change the countenance of the Church. Many will lose the Faith; confusion will reign everywhere. The sheep will search for their shepherds in vain. A schism will tear apart the holy tunic of My Son. This will be the end of times, foretold in the Holy Scriptures and recalled to memory by Me in many places. The abomination of abominations will reach its peak and it will bring the chastisement announced at La Salette. My Son’s arm, which I will not be able to hold back anymore, will punish this poor world, which must expiate its crimes. One will only speak about wars and revolutions. The elements of nature will be unchained and will cause anguish even among the best (the most courageous). The Church will bleed from all Her wounds. Happy are they who will persevere and search for refuge in My Heart, because in the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph.
Until that Triumph, I will fight for Holy Mother Church (and beyond that point, too, obviously.) And yes, I will be angry at those modernists leading relatively-innocent pagan souls to hell. That is why I posted this weekend:
It’s has been widely believed for decades that when Pope John XXIII opened Vatican II saying he didn’t want any more “prophets of doom,” it was a direct mockery of the children of Fatima with that message. So also today, those who mock the few of us still living in reality at the current Church crisis are called “prophets of doom” or “Mad-Trads” even by Catholics who *used* to fight for Christ and His unchanging dogma. That’s fine. You join a long list of Church-dweebs who stand not against me, but against Our Lady of Fatima who [probably] taught the Third Secret of Fatima was “apostasy from the top down.” I am content to be called a “Sad-Trad” at this level of destruction of souls, even as ex-trads now make money being the court-jesters at the foot of the crucifixion of the Church. That’s not “Christian joy.” That’s laughing at pagans going to hell who would *otherwise* enter the Church if our leadership were holy—or at least Catholic. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.”—Lk 6:25
and I also wrote on X:
Fellow traditionalists, it’s fine if you’re too tired to continue in this Church-reform battle. I really mean that. I don’t mean that as a tough-guy or even sarcastically. But if you continue to do damage-control for the modernists, I promise you that your eternity will be with them: “Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it; and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them.”—Pope St. Felix III.
