Do Not Abandon the Church

Recently I wrote to the people in a group in which we meet every Friday to pray and to encourage
each other in the period of great confusion in the Church. Today the world and the Church is on the
left side, liberal, with the presumption of the love and mercy of God, with no obligation to live what
we say in the Act of Contrition: “I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more, and to
avoid the near occasion of sin” (“Who Decides The Truth?”; http://spir-
food.blogspot.it/2014/06/who-decides-truth.html; https://www.scribd.com/doc/229388195/Who-
Decides-the-Truth)! Thus there is the tendency to go toward the other extreme, to the right,
and even to leave the Body of Christ, the Spouse of Christ, the Church, believing to find the
true Church in another group. Today the Church is full of more Judas Iscariots than ever before. It is
now that the Church needs faithful faithful on their knees before the Blessed Sacrament with the
Holy Rosary. Saint Thomas Aquinas tells us that virtue lies between the two extremes; today with
so many on the left side in subjectivism and relativism, there is a great temptation to go too far to
the right and to lose true humility. We must not compromise with the truth as so many do today, but
at the same time we must recognize that we are sinners and we must not abandon the Church
crucified today due to more sins than ever before.

Dear friends of the Friday group,

Our Friday group is a group of sinners. This is why we do the Way of the Cross every Friday in
order to penetrate the mystery that if I were the only person on the face of the earth, Jesus would
have done all that suffering only for me. Visit: “The Great Gift of the Cross” (http://spir-
food.blogspot.it/2017/09/the-great-gift-of-cross.html;
https://josephdwight.wordpress.com/2017/09/15/the-great-gift-of-the-cross/;
https://www.scribd.com/document/358989258/The-Great-Gift-of-the-Cross).

Our group is not a group in which we believe that we are less sinners than others. I wrote in my
article to the neocatecumens, “The Infinite God Among Us” (“Il Dio Infinito Fra Noi”; http://cibo-
spir.blogspot.it/2014/01/il-dio-infinito-fra-noi.html):
“When one reads the diary of Saint Faustina, one sees that while she progressed in union with Jesus,
she was MORE AND MORE AWARE OF HER MISERY, and at the same time more trustful in
the mercy of God with much gratitude toward God for this inestimable gift of His mercy! Instead,
very often, the more that we go forward in an ecclesial movement or in or priestly ministry,
we believe to be less pitiful and more worthy to stand before God and men. And when a person
does not do what he must do according to our criteria as leaders in an ecclesial movement or as a
pastor of a parish, instead of trying to understand the situation and the motives of the person, who
often we treat this person badly, very badly. Is this the way to love our neighbor as ourselves? What
remains after death for all eternity, a great work that we believe to have done or our personal virtue?
Saint Bonaventure and many other saints tell us that without humility there is not virtue, and there
is also spiritual blindness! Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger said on May 27 1998: “… THERE IS
MANIFESTED MANY DANGERS, as well as the ways of overcoming, in the (ecclesial)
Movement. THERE IS THE THREAT OF UNILATERALITY which leads to exaggerating the
specific mandate which has its origin in a given period or in strength of a particular charism … is a
fact THAT CAN LEAD TO ABSOLUTIZING one’s own movement, which ends up identifying
itself with the Church herself, to understand itself as the way for all while in fact this one way can
be made known in different ways.” … “THERE IS A STRONG TENDENCY FOR THE PEOPLE
IN THE ECCLESIAL MOVEMENTS TO “ABSOLUTIZING ONES OWN MOVEMENT”
especially today when we find ourselves more than ever in a social, cultural and spiritual crisis at all
levels. But we priests must seek that maturity to not run from this lack of maturity which suffocates
the life which is there, but to stand with Mary at the foot of the cross, waiting with patience and
with our example, their Christian maturity. One makes a journey of faith and maturity together,
each respecting the role and vocation of the other. (see also:
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/apost_exhortations/documents/hf_jp-
ii_exh_30121988_christifideles-laici_en.html)” (“The Neocatecumenal Mass”; http://spir-
food.blogspot.it/2015/02/the-neocatecumenal-mass.html).

The martyrs of the first centuries of the Church, did not hold a vengeance against their
murderers and thus attracted many new followers to the new Christian religion because people
never saw before anything similar, that is the great persecution and injustice without vengeance or
rancor, but forgiveness from the heart.

I wrote in my article, “The Eucharist in the Catacombs” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/the-

eucharist-in-catacombs.html; https://josephdwight.wordpress.com/2017/10/14/the-eucharist-in-the-
catacombs/; https://www.scribd.com/document/361581452/The-Eucharist-in-the-Catacombs):
“Do not seek a perfect Catholic group with people who have put themselves above the TRUE
Magisterium of the Church, as did the Donatists in the time of Saint Augustine, and many groups
in the history of the Catholic Church, but rather remain with Mary at the foot of the cross as the
Body of Christ, the Church, is being humiliated and crucified in this period of the “great tribulation”
(Mt 24:21; CCC 677). The schismatic traditionalist groups, where there is very often present
spiritual blindness and proof texting and a priori deductions if things do not fit into their scheme or
idea (e.g., Mass bad – therefore the Second Vatican Council bad, without studying the documents of
the council, and popes afterwards bad etc.), have convinced many Catholics that the Novus Ordo
Mass of the Second Vatican Council is invalid. But as explained above, in the Novus Ordo Mass,
all the four essential elements are present; below you can also read that “the other parts of the
Eucharistic prayer are, according to St. Ambrose (also quoted in Summa Theologica), essentially
preparatory”. If a priest obeys the Liturgical Books of the Catholic Church, the Novus Ordo Mass is
to be celebrated with the same reverence and respect as is expected from a priest who celebrates the
Tridentine Mass following the Liturgical Books which regard the Tridentine Mass. In the early 60’s
in California, I was an altar boy and one of the priests of our parish celebrated the Tridentine Mass
in less than 20 minutes every day. The real problem here is in the heart and in the faith of the priests
and bishops and of the lay people. If the majority, and even the great majority, of the bishops and
priests and lay people are no longer willing to obey the Liturgical Books or even the Catechism of
the Catholic Church for adults and have slipped into the worship of man instead of remaining
faithful to their calling as Christians to worship God, “to adore God alone”, what could Pope Paul
VI, Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict do to remedy the problem?

As I wrote in “Letter to fellow Priests” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2014/12/letter-to-fellow-

priests.html):
“Archbishop Fulton Sheen said: “The truth is the truth even if no one believes it; error is error even
if everyone believes it.” Many Catholics actually believe today, in our climate of relativism, that the
truth is established by the majority of people or perhaps by the priests, bishops or the pope; few
Catholics realize today that God not only establishes the Truth, but God is the Truth (Jn 14:6), Who
is immutable! In this period before the second coming of Jesus Christ, “that day will not come,
unless THE REBELLION (APOSTASY) COMES FIRST” (2Thess 2:3); this indicates that the
majority, if not the great majority of Catholics at all levels in the Church will follow the very
attractive “apostasy” which will seem the best way, the right way, the most merciful way, the most
loving way, the most ecumenical way, the most merciful way, presented by “angels of light” (2Cor
11:14), who give their approval and blessing without any exhortation to “promise with the help of
thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin” (Act of Contrition)! Christianity
without the cross of Christ! These are the liberals who in the past left the Church on the “port side”
(left side) of the Bark of Peter, while there are many who leave the Bark of Peter on the “starboard
side”, (the right side) of the Bark of Peter, the schismatic traditionalists, by putting themselves
above the teachings of the Magisterium of the Church, above the Truth which cannot change since
it is part of the Divinely Revealed Truth…” (“Is the Pope Catholic? - The Greatest Schism in
Catholic Church History!”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/05/is-pope-catholic.html). The
schismatic traditionalists seek to maintain their feeling of importance in triumphalism and
clericalism that was rather strong before the Second Vatican Council.

THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONALISTS AND SCHISMATIC

TRADITIONALISTS. To be a traditionalist is very good because it means to hold on to traditions
and the immutable truth from God. But schismatic traditionalists have put themselves over and
above the authentic Magisterium of the Church just as so many groups have done in the 2000 year
history of the Church. There is much to be said about the value of the beauty of the Tridentine Mass
to help people realize the greatness of God and to draw our attention toward God primarily and not
to man primarily. But there is also much to be said about the benefits of using also the vernacular
language at the proper moments of the Mass as the Liturgical Books of the Church indicate. When
the Mass was celebrated only in Latin, it was more difficult to change things so as to shift the
emphasis and attention from God to man as many wanted to do. Many people were not seeking to
discover what God wanted but what man wanted. By offering more options in the Sacred Liturgy at
the Second Vatican Council, it became easier for those who were not first seeking God’s will and
desires, to improvise and make the exceptions, provided in the Liturgical Books of the Church, the
rule to fit what they wanted, putting man instead of God as the primary focus of the Holy Mass. But
you cannot put handcuffs on everyone! God does not force anyone to seek his holy will so as to
truly live the Our Father: “THY will be done”. No one goes to heaven by chance and no one goes to
hell by chance. God respects totally our free choice; no one is predestined to hell as Calvin taught.
Another example of this manipulation within the Mass is that Communion in the hand was not only
started in disobedience, but was perpetuated by deception. Visit: “The History of Communion in the
Hand” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2016/12/history-communion-in-hand.html).

THERE IS AN ENORMOUS AND FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE between negating an

ecumenical council (more than 2000 bishops present) and saying that we have arrived to the
prophecies of Saint Francis of Assisi, Blessed Catherine Emmerich, Saint Hildegard (doctor of the
Church), Bruno Cornacchiola (Book: Il Veggente, by Saverio Gaeta) and others regarding THE
ONE (not many false popes!) FALSE POPE! As with all ecumenical councils in the history of the
Church, the documents of the Second Vatican Council were protected by the Holy Spirit; it was the
organized misinterpretation and dissemination of this misinterpretation of the Second Vatican
Council that caused all the problems and disunity and negative fruits – the “Spirit of Vatican Two!”
You cannot force faith or obedience. God Himself does not force anyone to spend eternity with Him
in heaven; this is why after death there are two eternal places, one where there is God Who is the
Truth, and one where there is not God but the “father of lies” (Jn 8:44). God totally respects the free
choice of each person. If a person does not want to be with God every day in this short life - in
prayer and in living the Our Father, “THY will be done” - at death, it is not God who sends this
person to the place where there is not God, but this person willingly throws himself or herself into
the eternal place where there is not God. “The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from
God” (CCC 1035). Visit: “The Great Difficulty In Overcoming Pharisaism - The Difference
Between Schismatic Traditionalism and the False Pope Prophecies” (http://schis-
trad.blogspot.it/2016/05/overcoming-pharisaism.html).”

I AM A CATHOLIC. It is very important to keep in mind some very fundamental Truths. One
Truth that may seem obvious, but no longer today in an atmosphere totally dominated by
subjectivism and relativism, is that the Truth comes from God, not from me or any other
creature and also not from the Church, and thus no priest, bishop or pope can change the Truth
of Divine Revelation which is well summarized in the Catechism of the Catholic Church for adults.
I am not referring to the catechism that Bergoglio published this year, 2017! I am referring to the
CCC published in 1992 by Pope John Paul II which the very numerous puppets of our mortal
enemy, Satan, have managed to get the great majority of the diocese in the world to forget about, or
to put aside or to scorn, especially in most seminaries, as old and out of date for out new “modern
church”! Our Lady referred to this catechism of Pope John Paul II:
“The great trial has come for the Church, so violated by the evil spirits, so divided in its unity, so
darkened in its holiness. See how error has flooded throughout it, error which leads to the loss of the
true faith. Apostasy is spreading everywhere. A special gift of my Immaculate Heart for these
times of yours is the CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, which MY Pope has
wished to promulgate, to be as it were HIS SHINING LAST TESTAMENT. But how many are
those pastors who grope about in the mist, become speechless out of fear or compromise, and who
no longer defend their flocks from the many rapacious wolves! Many priestly and consecrated lives
have become dried up by impurity, seduced by pleasures and the search for comfort and well-being.
The faithful are being drawn in by the enticements of a world which has become pagan, or by the
countless sects which are spreading more and more. …” (Our Lady to Don Stefano Gobbi; January
1, 1993).

The schismatic traditionalist groups put themselves above the Second Vatican Council, and
thus above Pope Paul VI, Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. What can a good pope do if
the great majority of the bishops do not obey? Pope Benedict tried in every way to have a “Reform
of the Reform” of the liturgy, and also to convince the neocatecumens to obey the liturgical books
for the celebration of the Holy Mass. From my experience, losing my sister, brother-in-law, with
seven children, and my Mother in the sedevacantists groups, it is very difficult to come out of this
mentality of superiority, from the “Trilogy of Devils in the Church: Triumphalism, Clericalism and
Juridicalism” which the Second Vatican Council tried to overcome. It was difficult for me to leave a
schismatic traditionalist group in 1983 (“The Cult At Necedah, Wisconsin”; http://necedah-
cult.blogspot.com).

“It is not easy to criticize oneself in order to discover the causes of the problems as well as the
solutions. But the Church actually succeeded in listening to her critics and then translated this into
a self criticism precisely at the Second Vatican Council. The Church arrived at a rather high level
of maturity at the council. But has this maturity arrived yet in our dioceses and in our parishes after
fifty years since the council? … The manifold Catholic attack against triumphalism goes hand in
glove with a desire to sustain the spirituality of the Church. This is one of the essential elements of
the new ecclesiological way of thinking apparent at the council. It wanted no new dogma, no new
definition of the Church that would clarify everything. Rather, with the hierarchy in mind in a most
existential sense, it was a summons to complete and utter humility. The Church was being told
to remember that it followed the Lord who came not to be served but to serve” (Mk 10:45)
(“Evangelization VS the Trilogy of Devils in the Church: Triumphalism, Clericalism and
Juridicalism”; http://trueevangelization.blogspot.com).

I wrote in my article, “The Great Difficulty In Overcoming Pharisaism - The Difference Between
Schismatic Traditionalism and the False Pope Prophecies” (http://schis-
trad.blogspot.it/2016/05/overcoming-pharisaism.html):
“Before the Second Vatican Council, people stayed away from topics that could lead to the
slippery slope. When children are young, parents say, “Do as I tell you!” But when their children
are older the parents explain more and more fully the motives of their rules for their children, which
opens up the opportunity for the children to accept or reject the motives of the rules of their parents.
Many children, who trust more in themselves instead of in their parents, are looking for an excuse
to take the easier way. Over a hundred years ago, many people were still working on the farm and
did not have a chance to study too much, and thus accepted readily the simple explanation of the
parish priest regarding faith and morals. But now many people have a college education and ask
questions and rightly so. In a certain sense, God further explained the rules of the Church at the
Second Vatican Council; the Holy Spirit brought the Church to a higher level of maturity. But many
Catholics did as do irresponsible children who were LOOKING FOR THE EASIEST WAY
INSTEAD OF LOOKING TO PLEASE GOD IN CHILDLIKE TRUST. So many immature
Catholics were seeking to use religion for their own benefit on this earth, to find approval for their
egotistical desires and their definition of truth as did Adam and Eve (Gen 3:4-5), instead of using
religion to discover and do the holy will of God. Thus God has now given these very numerous
spoiled arrogant children in the Church, and in the world, what they wanted as St. Francis
prophesied:
2. The power of the demons will be greater than usual, the immaculate purity of our religious
community and of others, will wither to the point that very few Christians will want to obey the
true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with a sincere heart and perfect charity. At the
decisive moment of this crisis, a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate, will
endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error.” (“The “Prophecy” of Saint
Francis (Assisi)”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html).

“After the Second Vatican Council many did not obey the documents and SHREWDLY
SHIFTED THE FOCUS OF ATTENTION FROM GOD TO MAN. Father Gabriele Amorth,
the Vatican's chief exorcist said in an interview of 2001:
The Second Vatican Council asked that some texts be revised. Disobeying this command, they set
about re-writing them completely with no thought for the danger of making things worse instead of
better. So many rites came off badly from this mania to throw out the old and start from scratch, as
if the Church to date had always conned us and as if only now the time had at last come of the great
geniuses, the super theologians, the super-biblists and the super-liturgists who know what the right
thing is for the Church. This is a lie: the last Council simply asked that the texts be revised, not
destroyed.” (http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?id=2879;
http://www.vaticans.org/index.php?/archives/61-An-interview-with-the-Vaticans-chief-excorcist,-
Father-Gabriele.html). … Pope John Paul II as well as Pope Benedict ordered in a very clear way
the members of the Neocatecumenal Way to obey and faithfully follow the liturgical books of the
Church; the three founders of the Neocatecumenal Way refused to obey these two popes. Visit:
“The Neocatecumenal Mass” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2015/02/the-neocatecumenal-mass.html)
(“Letter to fellow Priests”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2014/12/letter-to-fellow-priests.html).

The “very few Christians” who “obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with a
sincere heart and perfect charity” are now looking for guidance in a Church full of confusion, and
with “a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate, will endeavor to administer
shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error”. There is now no longer unity under the Divine
Revelation infallibly explained by the authentic Magisterim of the Church but there is unity under a
dictator who will not dialogue with anyone, including cardinals, who are not in agreement with him,
that is, those who maintain the absolute necessity to remain faithful to the revealed Truth, who is
Christ (Jn 14:6), and thus cannot change with the world and with the whims of men, not even “an
iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished” (Mt 5:17-18; 24,35). Those with a
sincere heart will suffer with those who do not want to obey the authentic Magisterium of the
Church especially regarding sexual morality and the progressive destruction of the Holy Mass to
arrive at the ultimate “DESOLATING SACRILEGE” (Mt 24:15; Mk 13:14; 2Thess 2:3-4; Dan
9:27; 11:31; 12:11)! Many of these “very few Christians”, not having studied theology have been
led to put the blame on the documents of the Second Vatican Council instead of the organized
promulgation of a false interpretation of the documents, the “spirit of Vatican Two”. Few people,
including most priests and bishops today, have the discipline in theological thought and problems to
do as Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote: Rarely affirm, seldom deny, ALWAYS DISTINGUISH. In
most seminaries today there is no longer taught courses on logic and cosmology.

This is why POPE JOHN PAUL II (AMONG MANY OTHER OCCASIONS) SPOKE FIRMLY
TO THE US BISHOPS AGAINST THIS "PICK AND CHOOSE SMORGASBORD TYPE
CATHOLICISM" in LA in his September 1987 visit: "It is sometimes reported that a large number
of Catholics today do not adhere to the teaching of the Church on a number of questions, notably
sexual and conjugal morality, divorce and remarriage. Some are reported as not accepting the
Church's clear position on abortion. It has also been noted that there is a tendency on the part of
some Catholics to be selective in their adherence to the Church's moral teachings. It is sometimes
claimed that dissent from the Magisterium is totally compatible with being a “good Catholic” and
poses no obstacle to the reception of the sacraments. THIS IS A GRAVE ERROR that challenges
the teaching office of the bishops of the United States and elsewhere. I wish to encourage you in
the love of Christ to address this situation courageously in your pastoral ministry, relying on the
power of God's truth to attract assent and on the grace of the Holy Spirit which is given both to
those who proclaim the message and to those to whom it is addressed."
(http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/1987/september/documents/hf_jp-
ii_spe_19870916_vescovi-stati-uniti_en.html).

When one has acquired a logical way of thinking and theological discipline one understands the
great danger of lumping just about everything into the category of grey instead of analysing the
small black dots and white background. Either Christ gave us an infallible guide on earth regarding
faith and morals, or Christ did not give us an infallible guide on earth regarding faith and morals
which would leave us totally in our own subjectivism and relativism which would lead to our
destruction.

Lumen Gentium 25 clearly teaches that the documents of an ecumenical council are
INFALLIBLE (CCC 891). The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 888-892;
www.vatican.va/archive/ccc/) tell us that the doctrines of the Church are essential in order to arrive
to sanctity. “When the Church through its supreme Magisterium proposes a doctrine “for belief as
being divinely revealed,” and as the teaching of Christ, the definitions “must be adhered to with the
obedience of faith.” This infallibility extends as fare as the deposit of divine Revelation itself”
(CCC 891). But to the ordinary teaching of the Church “the faithful are to adhere to it with religious
assent” which, though distinct from the assent of faith, is nonetheless an extension of it” (CCC
892). Thus the documents in an ecumenical council express in human language the absolute truths
which cannot be changed, EVEN BY A FUTURE POPE FOR APPARENTLY GOOD MOTIVES
TO MAKE THE NON CATHOLICS FEEL MORE AT EASE (at a Catholic Mass!) (false
ecumenism, false mercy, false love!)! Before the New World Order totally manifests itself, there is
needed to be in place a one world religion which “will be emptied of all divine content and will be
the mystical body of the antichrist” (read the words of Cardinal Biffi and Archbishop Fulton Sheen,
visit: http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/02/resignation-of-pope-benedict.html). The Church is the
handmaid of the Truth and not the Author of the Truth which is God! The Truth is absolute even
though we are living in a world today in which the culture totally refuses the possibility of the
absolute Truth. These very numerous modern “enlightened” people of today say that the Truth must
change according to the world, according to the consensus of the majority, and even according to
each individual; this is exactly relativism which Pope Benedict XVI said is "the most profound
difficulty of our time"!

But even though we are in the time of the New World Order as well as the infiltration of the
Catholic Church by the ecclesiastical masonry, as explained above, the Holy Spirit protected the
veracity of the teachings of the authentic Magisterium of the Church up to “a personage NOT
CANONICALLY ELECTED, raised to the Pontificate”, which of course is not part of the
authentic Magisterium of the Church.

Before the Second Vatican Council there was the strong tendency in the Church to believe that only
the truth, that is the Catholic Church, has the right to be promoted publicly; the other Churches or
groups must remain in the closet. But the council fathers, seeing the Church persecuted in more
and more hostile countries, realized that every person or group has the right to promote his or
her or their belief publicly due to the human dignity of each person as long as one does not
interfere with the rights of others, i.e., public peace, public order and public morality (DH 7);
this is the principle of promoting religion or the faith on the basis of the dignity of each person. This
was a change in DISCIPLINE of how religion is promoted; it was NOT A CHANGE IN FAITH
OR MORALS, as the schismatic traditionalists claim. We see that in the document, “Dignitatis
Humanae”, it is very clear that the Church teaches against indifferentism and against subjectivism:
“All men are bound to seek the truth, especially in what concerns God and his Church, and to
embrace it and hold on to it as they come to know it. The sacred Council likewise proclaims that
these obligations bind man’s conscience. … So while the religious freedom which men demand in
fulfilling their obligation to worship God has to do with freedom from coercion in civil society, it
leaves intact the traditional Catholic teaching on the moral duty of individuals and societies towards
the true religion and the one Church of Christ” (DH 1).

ii_decl_19651207_dignitatis-humanae_en.html. Visit: “The Declaration of Religious Liberty”;
http://schis-trad.blogspot.it/2008/03/religious-liberty-of-vcii.html).

Schismatic traditionalists maintain that there is no salvation outside the ‘VISIBLE’ Catholic
Church. But how do they explain someone in China who never heard about Jesus Christ? Do they
then believe in predestination to hell as Calvin believed? Thus again the Second Vatican Council
explained in greater detail and clarity the dictum "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" without falling into
either a false triumphalism or indifferentism. (“Ecclesiology of the Catholic Church”; http://schis-
trad.blogspot.it/2008/03/ecclesiology-of-vcii.html). A Catholic "is not saved, however, who, though
part of the body of the Church, does not persevere in charity" (Lumen Gentium, no. 14).

“This is the one Church of Christ which in the Creed is professed as one, holy, catholic and
apostolic, which our Saviour, after His Resurrection, commissioned Peter to shepherd, and him and
the other apostles to extend and direct with authority, which He erected for all ages as "the pillar
and mainstay of the truth". This Church constituted and organized in the world as a society,
SUBSISTS in the Catholic Church, which is governed by the successor of Peter and by the Bishops
in communion with him, although many elements of sanctification and of truth are found outside of
its visible structure. These elements, as gifts belonging to the Church of Christ, are forces impelling
toward catholic unity. Just as Christ carried out the work of redemption in poverty and persecution,
so the Church is called to follow the same route that it might communicate the fruits of salvation to
men. Christ Jesus, "though He was by nature God . . . emptied Himself, taking the nature of a
slave", and "being rich, became poor" for our sakes. Thus, the Church, although it needs human
resources to carry out its mission, is not set up to seek earthly glory, but to proclaim, even by
its own example, humility and self-sacrifice.” (Lumen Gentium, no. 8;
http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-
ii_const_19641121_lumen-gentium_en.html). Visit also: “The Impact and Interpretation of
'Subsists In' (Vatican II)” (http://schis-trad.blogspot.it/2008/03/subsists-in.html).

There is a great human temptation to want to feel better than others, do dominate over others while
seeing this tendency only in others, to not follow the example of Christ who said to those who truly
want to follow Him: “Take my yoke upon you, and LEARN FROM ME; for I am gentle and lowly
in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Mt
11:29-30).

The Second Vatican Council also explains that a person born into a protestant family is not
automatically culpable of being outside the one visible Church that Christ founded, the Catholic
Church, and that such a person can correspond with the grace of God to live the Gospel better than
many baptized Catholics. Just as grace and truth can subsist anywhere (wherever the Spirit blows),
so too, grace and truth can subsist in other churches. "Nevertheless, many elements of
sanctification and of truth are found outside its visible confines. … Moreover, some and even very
many of the significant elements and endowments which together go to build up and give life to the
Church itself, can exist outside the visible boundaries of the Catholic Church: the written word of
God; the life of grace; faith, hope and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, and
visible elements too. All of these, which come from Christ and lead back to Christ, belong by right
to the one Church of Christ” (Unitatis Redintegratio, no. 3;

“In the New World Religion, as Archbishop Fulton Sheen (and Cardinal Biffi) pointed out years
ago: “The false church will be worldly, ecumenical (false), and global. It will be a loose federation
of churches, religions forming some type of global association, a world parliament of churches. It
will be emptied of all divine content and will be the mystical body of the antichrist.” Thus we see
now that Bishop Fellay is coming together with “Pope Francis” because “Pope Francis” has
indicated that the doctrinal issues are not so important!!! Let us put aside the uncomfortable
truth, Who is Jesus Christ, so as to be all together in a worldwide brotherly fraternity of “peace and
love” as did thousands of youth, the “Flower Children”, from the summer of 1965 to the
culmination of the “summer of love” in 1967 in California in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco in
search of peace, love and freedom (from all rules from any authority) with music, LSD and poetry!
Did God give us rules, the Ten Commandments, for our good or for our evil? Do God’s laws offer
true love and true freedom or false love and false freedom? Is it possible to have true love without
any rules or restrictions? Do we trust our Creator or do we trust ourselves?

“SSPX’s Bishop Fellay: Little by Little Rome Is Giving Us All We Need for Reconciliation” - “But
the French-Swiss SSPX leader has learned how to communicate with this Pope, by acknowledging
that Francis often seems to view doctrine as an obstacle to leading people to Jesus. For the Pope,
Bishop Fellay said, “what is important is life, it’s the person, and so he tries to look at the person,
and there, if I may say, he’s very human”…
Certainly he doesn’t agree with us on these points on the Council which we are attacking. Definitely
he doesn’t. But for him, as the doctrine is not so important — it is man, the people, who are
important — there we have given enough proof that we are Catholics.” (“Bergoglio, il generale che
vuole vincere senza combattere”; http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/1350737)

“Francis often seems to view doctrine as an obstacle to leading people to Jesus”! THIS IS A
TOTAL CONTRADICTION because the Church expresses the Divine Revelation throughout the
centuries in her doctrines, which are expressions of the Truth Who is Jesus Christ (Jn14:6)!?! Pope
Benedict opened up dialogue with the SSPX and even bent over backwards to receive them into the
Catholic Church, allowing them to maintain their liturgical rites. But Pope Benedict would not
receive them into the Church if they were not willing to accept the documents of the Second
Vatican Council. Pope Benedict took this discernment process out of the Congregation for Divine
Worship and gave it to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, because the real problem was
not so much a liturgical issue but a doctrinal issue. (https://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/sspxs-
bishop-fellay-little-by-little-rome-is-giving-us-all-we-need-for-reco/).

Again we find a fundamental contradiction here in that Bishop Fellay does not agree with the
documents of the Second Vatican Council, and thus was unwilling to reunite to the Catholic Church
by accepting these documents, but is more and more willing to put these doctrinal differences aside
due to the deceptive and misleading appeals of Bergoglio, who “will endeavor to administer
shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error” - the doctrinal issues are not so important!?!
Jesus Christ, the Truth (Jn 14:6), is not so important!?!?! If Bishop Fellay, and all the schismatic
traditionalists, had the humility of Christ, which the Church in Lumen Gentium, no. 8, and in the
other documents of the Council were calling us to, they would not be deceived by Bergoglio, who
“disguises himself as an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14)!

The Second Vatican Council was a summons to complete and utter humility. Thus right after the
Council, Satan began to push the pendulum to the other side toward false humility, to false
love, to false mercy and misguided compassion, to false ecumenism (without the truth expressed
in the doctrines of the Church), but telling us that it is not nice or loving to preach about the
examination of conscience according to the Ten Commandments well explained in the Catechism of
the Catholic Church for adults (CCC – 1992). “Forbidden to Speak About Sin”
(https://josephdwight.wordpress.com/2016/09/24/forbidden-to-speak-about-sin/)! But sin separates
us from God; sin is our greatest evil. What an incredible contradiction embraced by so many today
in the Catholic Church! If we acknowledge and confess our sins, we become free from slavery and
true brothers and sisters in Christ who is the Truth, instead of being slaves to sin now and for all
eternity! When we put Christ, the Truth, first, only then can we truly love our neighbor.

Bergoglio is shrewdly communicating to both the liberals and the conservatives that
“doctrinal issues are not so important”. That is, Jesus Christ, the Truth, is not so important, but
what is important is that we are all together, in a “universal fraternity”, in the cult of man without
God, sacrificing the Truth on the altar of unity, a true malevolent dictatorship, not a benevolent
dictatorship as it is in heaven. It is amazing how the two extremes meet, both with a lack of true
humility and obedience to Christ the Truth, both extremes embracing truth according to their own
human subjectivism and relativism as if each of us can decide the truth as did Lucifer and Adam
and Eve (Gen 3:4-5). The primary point of discernment for private revelations is precisely humility
and obedience which indicates that the seers and their followers trust in God and not in themselves
which indicates that the revelation comes from God not from man (http://necedah-
cult.blogspot.com). “Saint Thomas Aquinas tells us that virtue lies in the middle between the two
extremes which is usually the more difficult path requiring much patience, discernment, humility
and long suffering. On various occasions Jesus used very strong words for those who have taken the
easier path…” (“The Hidden Broad Road to Perdition”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2015/05/road-
perdition.html).

Among all those who claim to be Catholic today, WHO ARE THE ONES who are truly seeking
the Truth outside of themselves from God, not for their disguised glory or for their hidden agenda,
ready to suffer to change their lives accordingly, AND WHO ARE THE ONES who claim to be
seeking the Truth outside of themselves but with a hidden attitude that God is always in agreement
with themselves or with their group?

400 years ago the protestants left the Church causing great harm and disunity and the death of
thousands of Christians. But today the protestants remain in the Church and put to silence or
send away those who remain faithful to the immutable Truth of God. An example of this is
what Msgr. Athanasius Schneider was trying to say: “The (Neocatecumenal) Way is a
TROJAN HORSE in the Church” (March 6, 2016; http://rorate-
caeli.blogspot.com/2016/04/exclusive-interview-with-bishop.html). Having arrived to “a personage
NOT canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate”, everyone, both in the Church and outside of
the Church, is being encouraged and manipulated very strongly, to be “politically correct” in the
Church (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2017/10/politically-correct-in-church-ewtn.html), that is, to
please man who does not want to hear about sin or the consequences of sin, and to put aside the
“Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world”! Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict, and all
the popes up to Bergoglio, told us: “Only what is true can ultimately be pastoral”; they also told us
that the greatest sin today is that we have lost the sense of sin! “Some preachers will keep silent
about the truth and, denying the truth, they will trample upon the truth. The sanctity of life will be
held in derision by those who only profess it outwardly, and for this reason Our Lord Jesus Christ
will send them not a worthy Pastor, but a destroyer.” (“The “Prophecy” of Saint Francis
(Assisi)”; http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html).
Our Lady in her messages to Don Stefano Gobbi (“To The Priests Our Lady’s Beloved Sons”;
http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/) says often the importance of becoming little children! If we
feel full of our intelligence, wisdom and holiness, God draws away from us and we deceive
ourselves and in the end we destroy ourselves. “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and BECOME
LIKE CHILDREN, you will never enter the Kingdom of heaven” (Mt 18:3).

St. Augustine tells us: “IT WAS PRIDE that changes angels into devils; it is humility that
makes men as angels. Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues. The soul in which this
virtue does not exist, there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance. There is
something in humility that strangely exalts the heart. This is the very perfection of man, to find out
about his own imperfections. You must be emptied of that which you are full that you may be filled
with that which you are empty. How can we do great things for God? Begin with the least. First
think of the foundation of humility. The greater the building is to be, the deeper you dig the
foundation. For once your foundation is set, the height to which you can build has been determined.
You want a tower that will pierce the clouds, lay first the foundation of humility. Humility must
accompany all of our actions. For as soon as we glory in our good works, they are of no further
value for our advancement in virtue.” Thus the more Truth and means of sanctification we have
received, we must have more humility, not less, otherwise we will end up using what we have
received from God against God and against neighbor, precisely in the name of God, disguised as
“an angel of light” (2Cor 11:14), in triumphalism, clericalism and juridicalism!

Our Lady communicated to Don Stefano Gobbi on November 22, 1992 (“To The Priests Our
Lady’s Beloved Sons” (http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/):
“My beloved ones and children consecrated to my Immaculate Heart, listen to the words of your
heavenly Mother, who is gently preparing you and leading you to live through these events, because
the times which were foretold to you by the prophet Zechariah have now come. `An oracle of the
Lord: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered; and then I will turn my
hand against the little ones. `An oracle of the Lord: In all the land, two thirds of them will be cut off
and perish; and one third shall be left. `I will pass this third through fire; I will refine it as silver is
refined, test it as gold is tested. `It will call upon my Name, and I will hear it; I will say:"This is my
people.” And it will say: “The Lord is my God.” ‘ (cf. Zec 13:7-9)”

“I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be completely scattered; and then I will turn my hand
against the little ones”. I believe that this coincides well with the prophecies of the FALSE POPE,
who will corrupt “the little one”, especially those who have been abandoned by their parents and
their pastors who have the vocation from God to protect the souls entrusted to them.

“Two thirds of them will be cut off and perish…” This means two thirds will lose their immortal
souls in this period, and the third that saves their souls will pass “through fire; I will refine it as
silver is refined, test it as gold is tested”! Right now there are very few people who have the courage
to take the risk to open their eyes to the signs of the times so as not to be hypocrites (Lk 12:56; Mt
16:3; 24:32-33,51), to go against the tide of the great majority, strongly manipulated by the highly
controlled mass media, who have taken the easy way of being “politically correct”, and in particular
today, in the Catholic Church (“Politically Correct in the Church – EWTN”; http://spir-
food.blogspot.it/2017/10/politically-correct-in-church-ewtn.html)! In this period of the crucifixion
of the Church, the purification of the Church and of the world, we are called to not flee from the
sufferings that Jesus offers and shares with us, but to offer our lives for the Body of Christ, the
Church, as did Mary, the “Queen of martyrs”, at the foot of the cross with Jesus totally covered with
blood and wounds and humiliations and abandoned by almost everyone. Thus most of the very
few who remain faithful to the uncomfortable truth in this period will later offer with their
blood the grace for the conversion of many others so as to arrive to the prophesied one third who
will save their immortal souls for all eternity. “The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians” –
Tertullian.

One second in hell, one second separated from God, is more painful than all the pains put together
in this short life. But one second in heaven, in the presence of God, is more happiness and joy than
all the happiness and joy in this short life. God hides the reality after death to leave us totally free to
choose if we want to spend eternity with our Creator; respect of our freedom is true love. Satan
convinces so many today that hell does not exist and that each of us is a little god so we decide
reality and truth not according to the Creator of the universe but according to ourselves. But after
death, we will discover that we took the easy way of following the “father of lies” (Jn 8:44) and we
will spend eternity with Satan. They say “ignorance is bliss”, but after death, it will not be so
blissful for those who did not live the Our Father: “THY will be done”! Did God give us the Ten
Commandments for our good or for our evil? Do we trust ourselves or do we trust our Creator?
Jesus said to Saint Faustina: “If their trust is great, there is no limit to My generosity. The torrents
of grace inundate humble souls. THE PROUD REMAIN ALWAYS IN POVERTY AND
MISERY, BECAUSE MY GRACE TURNS AWAY FROM THEM TO HUMBLE SOULS”
(Diary of Saint Faustina, 1602).

In this period Our Lady is forming the cohort of the smallest ones and Satan is forming the
cohort of the important presumptuous ones, the ones who decide for themselves the truth and
reality. Let us become smaller so that we will become the little children in the arms of our Heavenly
Mother so she will help us persevere in this period of the “great tribulation” (Mt 24:21)! Visit:
