May their memory be a blessing and God's mercy abound.

John 10:22-23. Douay-Rhiems.

"And it was the feast of the dedication (Hannukkah) at Jerusalem: and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch."

The words of Paul himself condemn today's Shepherds

If the Apostle Paul were alive today and preaching in the Catholic Church, he would be called out as an anti-Semite, as a Pharisee and as rigid, pre-Vatican II fundamentalist devoid of memory, dialogue and encounter.


In the Office of Matins for the Second Sunday after Easter, we read a goodly amount from the Book of Acts.


If Judaism is still alive, if there is a dual covenant, where are their Prophets today? Where are the Jewish sages and mystics calling for the imminent arrival of the real Messiah, as opposed to some old rabbi on a billboard? Where is their temple?

Paul, was asked to give "exhortations" by the leading Jews of Antioch. He did not fail.

Judaism is dead and some day the Lord will hold to account those hirelings who allowed his original Chosen People to die in the darkness devoid of the True Light which enlighteneth the world.

Woe to those who are no more than hirelings.

Lesson from the Acts of the Apostles

Acts 13:13-33

13 Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.

14 But they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.

15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.

16 Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.

17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,

18 And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.

19 And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them, by lot,

20 As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.

21 And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.

22 And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.

23 Of this man's seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

24 John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.

25 And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.

27 For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.

28 And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.

29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.

30 But God raised him up from the dead the third day:

31 Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.

32 And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,

33 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

R. Thanks be to God.

R. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the Book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

* Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

V. Worthy is the Lamb That was slain to receive power, and riches, in wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

R. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

R. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Muslims, Pagans, Hindus -- all must come to Christ except the Jews - according to Cardinal Koch

Muslims must convert? 

So says Cardinal Koch. Will this get him slapped down by Pope Francis? Will a fatwa now be issued on his neck?

Yet, the Jews are exempt!

That's right, the Church still has a "mission to convert," but not the Jews.  

"For He came unto His own and His own received Him not." St. John the Evangelist

Cardinal Koch doesn't think Jews warrant saving by Our Lord Jesus Christ whom they rejected once already and therefore, don't need Him. Since we know that this is not true, then either we are deluded and have been wrong for 2000 years or Cardinal Koch is a liar and an anti-semite.

As a Catholic who dearly loves his elder brothers and sister in the Faith let me say this; there is no salvation outside of the Church that Yeshua founded upon Cephas. He is the Messiah you have been waiting for. If Cardinal Koch and Pope Francis won't say it, this simple layman will.

You must come to Jesus Christ and be baptised in water and the Spirit in order to be saved and do so within His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Jews, Muslims, Pagans, Atheists, all must come! 

Or you don't.

Your choice.

On May 24, 2016 The Telegraph reported the comments of the Vatican’s head of ecumenical relations, Cardinal Kurt Koch. The Cardinal had just finished a two day closed door discussion with Jewish leaders at the Woolf Institute in Cambridge. The Telegraph began with the following:

Christians still have a “mission to convert” Muslims and members of other religions to Christianity even in the face of persecution in the Middle East, one of Pope Francis’s most senior aides has insisted.

It should be noted that many Neo-Catholic newspapers, blogs, and websites reported the story with only this headline. Straining to find any semblance of orthodoxy coming from today’s Vatican, Neo-Catholic journalists were quick to publicize that Cardinal Koch said we have a mission to convert Muslims. The fact that they feel compelled to report this statement as if it were a new and earthshattering teaching is itself a condemnation of the Neo-Catholic view that nothing has changed in the Church. It’s as if the Neo-Catholics had humbly resigned themselves to believing the Church should no longer convert Muslims and were then surprised and happy to see that we can try to convert them again. This is the sad condition of people whose faith is based on the ever changing statements of Vatican bureaucracies rather than the Catholic religion. Unfortunately for the Neo-Catholics, Cardinal Koch’s statements did not end there:

Francis, Luther and our crisis - who will resist?

With the fuss over the Bishop or Rome's imprudent decision to alter the Holy Thursday ritual, virtually sanctioning years of disobedience including his own; there was another grave scandal which took place in Rome - the provision of Holy Communion to Lutherans. They bragged about it as it took place in a Mass after the Pope's Wednesday audience. Was the priest aware they were Lutheran heretics? Yes, as we have found it, they in fact, encouraged and insisted upon it! Was the Pope aware this was happening? As a follow-up to the Bishop of Rome's meeting in a Lutheran worship hall in Rome late last year, what would one expect, "go forward" he said. It seems pretty likely then that he was.

Now you know what he meant last Monday in his homily.

We have the news now that he will visit Lund, Sweden to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. That event launched by Luther has led to the loss of hundreds of millions of souls. It has led to the death of millions upon millions of people. It gave rise to Illuminism, Freemasonry and the French Revolution, Communism, Nazism and the sexual and homosexualist revolutions now bearing down hard upon our Catholic families and culture, or what's left of it. 

I doubt our ancestors who died at the hands of Protestants in Germany, France, England and Ireland, Scandinavia, Spain and Portugal and elsewhere in Europe and even in Mexico could ever have imagined a Pope of Rome praising Luther and commemorating that dastardly act and man. This is Freemasonry as our murdered brethren knew it.

Gaze upon the picture above. See these women masquerading in clerical garb. Heretics, feminists and homosexualists each of them. There they are with Bergoglio and Koch who thinks that Catholics who hold to the faith are not Catholic and are anti-Semitic. Read more of these heretics and their pandering to the homosexalist agenda and fawned over by the Bishop of Rome. 

The duty of Jorge Bergoglio is to call these people to repentance and back home to the Catholic Church. That is his duty. If he does not do it, then he will be held to account and he must be called out for it. All indications are, that he is not going to call them back to the Church, he is going to commemorate a schism! This action on the part of Jorge Bergoglio must be condemned. It must be denounced by every Catholic with an ounce of Catholicism left. It must be denounced by bishops and cardinals.

Yesterday was Septuagesima Sunday; the Epistle reads as follows:

"Brethren, Know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? So run that you may obtain. And every one that striveth for the mastery refraineth himself from all things; and they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible one. I therefore so run, not as at an uncertainty; I so fight, not as one beating the air: but I chastise my body, and bring it into subjection: lest perhaps when I have preached to others, I myself should become a castaway. For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all in Moses were baptized, in the cloud and in the sea: and did all eat the same spiritual food, and drank the same spiritual drink: (that they drank of the spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.) But with most of them God was not well pleased."  From the Letter of Saint Paul ¤ 1 Cor. 9. 24-27; 10. 1-5

I think we know to whom Paul was referring. The Lutherans are heretics and the Pope is confirming them in it. The Pope's action is actually an unmerciful act. A merciful act would be to tell them the truth. Again, they are also anti-semitic, a true lover of the Jewish people would call them to Our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Two relevant articles

Broadly connected, I wish to bring to your attention two timely and important articles.

The first in in the Remnant by Hilary White, the Blackwhite of Pope Francis. She has the courage to reveal Francis as an ideologue with a behaviour that permeates with 1970's South American Jesuit theology, an ever-changing notion that God and the Faith must adapt to man. She draws parallels between Orwell and Bergoglio, "War is peace, Freedom is slavery. Piety is impious. Christians are unchristian." 

A guest article by Mr. William P. Fall at The Eye-Witness Blog. He articulates the concerns many of us have had over the recent statement from the Vatican regarding the Jews and our relations with them - essentially that the Old Covenant still exists and they need not come to Christ.

This is a lie. It is a lie even if the words are issued by the Pope of Rome himself.

Mr. Fall highlights the loss of the covenant with the Jews from Scripture itself and then weaves it into the reality we see before us of a Church on the verge of collapse due to the infiltration of Modernism and its various extensions of Illuminism, Freemasonry, Communism.

Daily we are presented with more examples, even now, the decision of Bergoglio to attend a celebration of Protestant heresy in Finland that has lead to the loss of hundreds of millions of souls.

All of this was predicted and it will get worse before it gets better.

The Fatima warning is coming true.

In the end, Her Immaculate Heart will triumph. We need to be faithful to then.

“What shall a Catholic do if some portion of the Church detaches itself from communion of the universal Faith? What other choice can he make if some new contagion attempts to poison, no longer a small part of the Church, but the whole Church at once?  Then his great concern will be to attach himself to antiquity [Tradition] which can no longer be led astray by any lying novelty.”   ~ Saint Vincent of Lerins (c. 445 A.D.)

What did today's Liturgy of the Hours - Office of Readings and Morning Prayer, say about the Jews?

How interesting that today's Liturgy of the Hours (new rite for this so-called "radical catholic reactionary) says much about the Jews in complete contradiction to the recent non-magisterial issuance from the Holy See.

Shall we have a look?

First, the Responsory from the Office of Readings, or Matins; it followed the Second Reading of a homily by St. Leo the Great:

Responsorium Eph 2, 13-14. 17℟. Vos, qui aliquándo erátis longe, facti estis prope in sánguine Christi.* Ipse enim est pax nostra, qui fecit útraque unum.℣. Et véniens evangelizávit pacem vobis, qui longe fuístis, et pacem iis qui prope.* Ipse enim.Responsory      
You who used to be far away have been brought near by the death of Christ, for he himself is the peace between us; he has made Jews and Gentiles into one people.Christ came and preached the Good News of peace to all – to you Gentiles, who were far away from God, and to the Jews, who were near to him, for he himself is the peace between us; he has made Jews and Gentiles into one people.

Then, in Morning Prayer, or Lauds, we have this intercessory prayer:

Christe, Deus et homo, qui Dóminus es David et fílius eius, prophetías adímplens,— te rogámus, ut Israel te Messíam agnóscat.Christ, Son of David, fulfilment of the prophecies,  may the Jewish people accept you as their awaited Deliverer.– Lord, have mercy on us.

Will these heresiarchs who state that Jews have no need of Christ to be saved, twist the liturgy to suit their lies?

St. Thomas Becket knew what today is denied

St. Thomas Becket knew. In the Office of Readings, or Matins, for this Christmastide Feast, we read in his Letter, 

"As successors of the apostles, we hold the highest rank in our churches; we have accepted the responsibility of acting as Christ’s representatives on earth; we receive the honour belonging to that office, and enjoy the temporal benefits of our spiritual labours. It must therefore be our endeavour to destroy the reign of sin and death, and by nurturing faith and uprightness of life, to build up the Church of Christ into a holy temple in the Lord.

There are a great many bishops in the Church, but would to God we were the zealous teachers and pastors that we promised to be at our consecration, and still make profession of being."

I print below the latest Letter to Friends and Benefactors of the Society of St. Pius X in Canada. It refers to the scandalous statement by the Vatican that the Jews do not need conversion to Christ. This is the third time I have posted on this because I am so disgusted that our so-called Shepherds, would make such statements as they did a few weeks ago.

They deserve public rebuke for it. 

St. Thomas Becket knew.

So do those in the Society of  St. Pius X. 

It is my firm belief that the day will come when the Church will declare Blessed, Marcel Lefebvre and it will be fully realised that the Holy Spirit was acting through him to preserve the Faith from the those, the likes of which we have not seen for many decades, who know raise their heads with such heterodoxy.

"There is no other Name under Heaven..."

Dear Friends and Benefactors,

2016 A.D. i.e., anno Domini – in the year of the Lord.   Let us never hesitate to tell people of the meaning of these two little Latin letters that remind us all year long of the historical coming of the Saviour.  The Freemasons in the French Revolution did try to put the years back to zero in their attempt to eliminate any reference to the Divine Saviour.  They failed, but others continue to attack the very fact that “the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us” (Jo 1:14) and that “this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David” (Lk 2:11).  The Incarnation is an objective, historical fact, -- “when the fullness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman” (Gal 4:4) --and with Our Lord’s death on the Cross, the Old Testament came to an end, as was proven by the veil of the Temple being torn from top to bottom.  When one writes a new will, it supersedes all previous wills.

Modernism, moral or doctrinal, puts subjective conscience above the need to submit to anything objective.  For modernists, just as your conscience replaces the objective moral law, similarly your ideas or religious feelings replace the objective Revelation. St Pius X called that “vital immanence”. “If you think it is true, then it is true for you, but don’t try to impose your truth on someone else.”

The Modernists at the Vatican produced more bad fruit on December 10 in a document called: “The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Council’s document Nostra Aetate.

At the start, it is truly scandalous to publish such a document a mere two weeks before Christmas, and to take for its title a quote from the epistle to the Romans (11:29), an epistle all geared at proving that the Jews, in order to be saved, must accept Our Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior: “For the end of the law is Christ, unto justice to everyone that believeth” (10:4).  This document “is not a magisterial document or doctrinal teaching of the Catholic Church, but is a reflection prepared by the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews”.  But being published by the Vatican, signed by a cardinal (Koch), it will be quoted as an official document.  Here are the key blasphemies and heresies (what other theological notes apply here?) of this text:

• The New Testament does not supersede the Old Testament, the Old Testament has not been revoked; (nn.17, 23, 33) “33. In this covenant community it should be evident for Christians that the covenant that God concluded with Israel has never been revoked but remains valid on the basis of God’s unfailing faithfulness to his people.”
  ‐‐ But then, what about the tearing of the veil of the Holy of Holies by Angels: “And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom” (Mt 27:51)? This tearing expressed the abrogation of the Old Law with the fulfilment of the redemption of the New Law (cf. Pirot Clamer, Cornelius a Lapide).
   
• The Jews do not have to believe in Our Lord to be saved: “36. From the Christian confession that there can be only one path to salvation, however, it does not in any way follow that the Jews are excluded from God’s salvation because they do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Israel and the Son of God. Such a claim would find no support in the soteriological understanding of Saint Paul…”
  – But what about Our Lord’s words: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by Me” (Jo 14:6)?
   
• The Catholic Church has no mission to convert Jews (n.37, 40‐43) “The Church is therefore obliged to view evangelization to Jews, who believe in the one God, in a different manner from that to people of other religions and world views. In concrete terms this means that the Catholic Church neither conducts nor supports any specific institutional mission work directed towards Jews.” (n.40)
  – But what about: “And He said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned” (Mk 16:15‐16)?
• 
  The Word of God is present to today’s Jews by means of the Torah, and to today’s Christians through Jesus Christ: “Whoever observes the Torah has life in its fullness. By observing the Torah the Jew receives a share in communion with God. In this regard, Pope Francis has stated: "The Christian confessions find their unity in Christ; Judaism finds its unity in the Torah. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Word of God made flesh in the world; for Jews the Word of God is present above all in the Torah.” (n.24).
  – But what about: “Jesus answered: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (Jo 3:5)?

This shocking document is one of the worst in the last 50 years! “The Christians believe this… The Jews believe that… whatever you like is fine!” The Word made flesh or the word of God in the Torah – these are word games in the mind and have no basis in historical reality.”

We object with all our soul and strength! At the start of this New Year “of the Lord”, we do profess that Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only Saviour, born in Bethlehem 2016 years ago, that He is the only way to Heaven, that without the shedding of His blood, without baptism, there is no redemption for anyone, Jews or Gentiles. “There is no other Name under Heaven whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

News of the District: Last November 27, Rev. Father Paul Greuter, from Nanaimo, BC, left us “strengthen with the rites of holy Mother Church”. Born in Holland, Father Greuter was ordained in Calgary on April 3, 1954, and, after some parish and hospital work, moved to Vernon, BC as early as 1973 in order to save his priesthood and to remain faithful to the mass of his ordination. He was the last (of perhaps 6) priest in Canada ordained before Vatican II who never said the new mass. Then on December 12, it was Fr. Stephen Somerville who died near Toronto after a long illness. Having been part of the ICEL team (International Commission on English in the Liturgy), he had the courage to renounce his work and come back to Tradition in 2002. May they rest in peace.
