Theodore McCarrick still darkens the halllways and offices of the Roman Curia. Last week, the Pope announced that he had appointed a McCarrick protege, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, to oversee the Vatican’s finances. It came along with the announcement that Rome is virtually <a href="https://infovaticana.com/2024/11/21/el-papa-reconoce-la-quiebra-del-fondo-de-pensiones-y-nombra-como-administrador-unico-al-cardenal-farrell/">bankrupt </a>and will soon be unable to pay the pensions of its staff. Remember, we are not only talking about the pensions of clerics, but those of family men and women who deserve a decent retirement after their time of service to the Church.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Woes</h2> <p>Last October, the Pope <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/pope-francis-tells-vatican-media-113606413.html">told</a> his media empire to tighten its belts: those involved in the Vatican’s internet, radio, newspaper, and TV services were advised to “exercise a bit more discipline with money”. While the Vatican’s hasn’t released a full budget statement for years, its annual deficit is thought to be around 83 million euros (USD 86 million/AUD 133 million).</p> <p>One can only wonder who much better the Church would have been financially ( and morally) had it not had to pay for the endless Synods and Holy Years, with their logos, marketing videos and gimmicky ‘apps’, and the other countless innovations of this train-wreck of a papacy with its Peronist leader.</p> <p>The announcement is sure to inflame tension among staff from the Vatican museums, who made a class action complaint against their employer <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/vatican-museums-staff-challenge-pope-103514704.html">last May</a>. At that time, 49 museum employees “cited the social teaching of the Catholic Church and Francis’ own appeals for employers to respect the dignity of workers in demanding better treatment. Among other things, they demanded better transparency about how employees are able to advance”, a restoration of seniority bonuses and insisted the Vatican follow Italian norms on sick days.” and other gripes. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">McCarrick</h2> <p>Perhaps someone should tell them that in order to advance in the Vatican, the selection criteria includes <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2022/10/21/new-exegesis-suggests-sodomy-is-not-a-sin/">sodomy</a> and <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/06/06/vatican-continues-to-use-rupniks-art/">sex-offences</a>, with preference given to those who engage in <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/07/22/shades-of-tucho-in-cardinal-pierres-sad-commentary-on-the-real-presence/">sexual mysticism</a>. Which brings us to Cardinal Farrell. Farrell was, of course, a former member of McCarrick’s household who claimed he knew nothing about McCarrick’s escapades – despite ‘everyone’ who was anyone knowing about McCarrick for decades.</p> <p>Here’s a video of Farrell being interviewed after McCarrick’s crimes were made public:</p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <div class="embed-youtube"><iframe title="Cardinal Farrell on McCarrick" width="760" height="428" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6DcnV-R2im0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div> </div></figure> <p>Farrell infamously wrote a <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-appoints-cardinal-with-mccarrick-fr-martin-connections-to-monitor-vatican-finances/">blurb</a> for Fr. James Martin’s pro-sodomy book, <em>Building a Bridge</em>:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p><em>A welcome and much-needed book that will help bishops, priests, pastoral associates, and all church leaders more compassionately minister to the LGBT community. It will also help LGBT Catholics feel more at home in what is, after all, their church.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>As Phil Lawler <a href="https://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/curious-background-popes-fixer/">points out</a>, ‘personnel is policy,’ explaining that Farrell has a track record of either ignoring serious abuse or being too dense to notice it. As a member of the Legionaries of Christ, Fr. Farrell was apparently unaware that his spiritual guide was a narcissistic abuser and violator of his vows. That pattern was repeated when he subsequently failed to pick up on McCarrick’s serial abuse of seminarians and other young men.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Successful Career</h2> <p>Farrell has been moving slowly but surely through the ranks: in 2019, the Pope made him <em>camerlengo</em>, meaning he will be making the arrangements after the pope’s death. He <a href="https://www.pillarcatholic.com/p/francis-names-cardinal-farrell-as">replaced</a> Cardinal Parolin in 2020 as head of the Commission dealing with high-level investments and confidential international matters after the Sloane Avenue property scandal. In 2023, the Pope put Farrell in charge of the Vatican city Supreme Court – even though he has no legal qualifications.</p> <p>All this smacks of Farrell enjoying the prestige of McCarrick’s mentorship, even down to his role overseeing international investments and other diplomatic matters. For it was McCarrick who once held that position, playing a large part in arranging the secretive Sino-Vatican deal.</p> <p>The matter of McCarrick and his many crimes has never been dealt with appropriately by the Pope, and Farrell’s continued favour in his eyes point to McCarrick’s ongoing influence in Rome. Such is the power of sex-magick and the other diabolical practices which have smitten the once pristine Bride of Christ with a malignant disorder and created a synodal Ape of the Church.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="cat-links">Categories <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/category/masonic-infiltration-of-the-church/" rel="category tag">Masonic Infiltration of the Church</a></span><span class="sep">•</span><span class="tags-links">Tags <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/cardinal-farrell/" rel="tag">Cardinal Farrell</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/cardinal-mccarrick/" rel="tag">Cardinal McCarrick</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/featured/" rel="tag">Featured</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/pope-francis/" rel="tag">Pope Francis</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/vatican/" rel="tag">Vatican</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-8086" class="post-8086 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-masonic-infiltration-of-the-church tag-featured tag-freemasonry tag-sermon tag-virgin-mary"> <div class="featured-image"> <span> <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/18/mary-queen-against-the-masons/"><img width="940" height="627" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png?w=940" class="attachment-toujours-featured size-toujours-featured wp-post-image" alt="The Heel of Mary Crushes the Masons" decoding="async" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png?w=940 940w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png?w=300 300w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png?w=768 768w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png?w=1024 1024w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px" data-attachment-id="8242" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/18/mary-queen-against-the-masons/mary-queen/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png" data-orig-size="1200,800" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Mary, Queen" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/mary-queen.png?w=760" /></a> </span> </div> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/18/mary-queen-against-the-masons/" rel="bookmark">The Heel of Mary Crushes the Masons</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="posted-on"><span>Published on <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/18/mary-queen-against-the-masons/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2024-11-18T09:54:11+11:00">November 18, 2024</time><time class="updated" datetime="2024-11-21T07:28:47+11:00">November 21, 2024</time></a></span></span> <span class="byline">by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/author/anonymouscath/">anonymouscath</a></span></span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/18/mary-queen-against-the-masons/#comments">2 Comments</a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p></p> <p>This sermon is from <em>Sensus Fidelium</em> and gives an overview of the great battle between Our Lady and the devil, who works through his Freemasonic forces.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen</p> <p>Today we shall consider how we must serve Mary as Queen to bring about the reign of Christ the King. Pius XI instituted this feast in 1925 to combat those forces which had been long working in society to dethrone Christ, to reject his Empire over all nations, to reject the right which the Church has from Christ Himself to teach mankind to make laws, to govern peoples in all that pertains to their eternal salvation.</p> <p>For 200 years, the Church has condemned in unequivocal terms the rise of Liberalism. Liberalism maintains that the best constitution of public society – and also civil progress altogether – require that human society be conducted and governed without regard being had to religion anymore than if it did not exist or at least without any distinction being made between the True Religion and false ones. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Satan’s Plan</h2> <p>These societies, growing in number and influence in the last few hundred years, are the product of the long plan of Satan to turn God’s creation against Him. Under the form of a serpent, Satan tempted Eve, and Adam through Eve, to reject God’s order, to see God’s kingly authority as malicious and oppressive. Satan told Eve that there is a ‘secret knowledge’ which, if possessed, would enable man to become God. To attain this, all they had to do was ignore God’s authority and dominion. They would not die: that was just an empty threat, a scare tactic. God’s power was theirs for the taking.</p> <p>Over the centuries, in different ways, Satan has inspired Gnostic cults in exactly the same way. This was the project of the alchemists and their heirs. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Great Work</h2> <p>In our day, it is the Freemasons and others like them. They call this project the ‘Great Work’: the complete liberation of man from God. Man’s total self-creation, self-direction, self salvation.</p> <p>Like the Alchemists, Masons do not believe in a God above but a god below, that there is a primal elemental power that exists in all matter, which is the source of all life and development, that this power can be studied and then controlled. They work to remove God from history, science and society. They rewrite the history books to depict man’s supposed ‘progress’ from the dark ages of religious belief to his liberation through modern science – modern Gnosticism.</p> <p>They believe in evolution unquestioningly and teach it with religious fervour. It is their form of Genesis. No God above created man, rather it was this elemental Force which ordered itself, raised itself up to greater and greater perfection. Now it’s ready for man to take the wheel, to recreate himself through eugenics, genetic manipulation, augmentation.</p> <p>This for them is how man is born again. They believe in science. Education should not be artistic or intellectual, developing the higher powers of man’s soul. Only modern science is real knowledge; useful in helping us better understand and then manipulate that elemental Force which pervades all things. The higher in man – his intellect – must be made to serve the lower. So you would expect that any society created and sustained on these Masonic principles would produce great technological wonders, would take lightning out of the hands of the gods and use it to do what unenlightened people would have once called sorcery.</p> <p>The ultimate end of this great work is eternal life, not granted by some God outside of nature but given from man to himself through medical science. So you would expect that a society created and sustained by these principles would devote itself to a medical industry even if such a great industry were not practically necessary to remedy all the ailments which afflict those who live a self-indulgent life pursuing this-worldly pleasures.</p> <p>Now they are not entirely wrong. The forces of nature can be studied understood and governed to improve the material life of man. Just because the Masonic culture produces is a supposed all- knowing internet which exercises its own kind of Providence, this does not make it wrong to use your cell phones for directions to get where you’re going.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Catholic Culture</h2> <p>Catholic cultures took their pattern from God’s government: monarchy and aristocracy. They taught that history was a constant battle for souls between God and Satan; that man’s progress matched exactly how well he and his society conformed to Christ and his Church; that the higher must always direct the lower. So we should not be surprised that these societies were less developed technologically because they were not hellbent on making this world into a paradise.</p> <p>The modern Masonic State neglects man’s higher faculties and great psychological disorders follow, which of course, it tries to cure through more of the same science. Catholic cultures were not so materially prosperous because they were prospering in spiritual ways, in moral living, in studying what God has revealed. So they produced inspiring and uplifting artwork, architecture and the greatest minds of philosophy and spirituality that the world has ever known – all of which the Masonic state is incapable of producing.</p> <p>If you don’t understand God or the human soul correctly, you won’t know where man’s true happiness lies and so no matter how hard you pursue happiness according to false principles, you will never find it. Rather, great spiritual misery and social disorder can be the only result. Thus, Pius XI states that this rebellion of individuals and States against the authority of Christ has produced deplorable consequences; namely insatiable greed, a blind and immoderate selfishness making men seek nothing but their own comfort and advantage, and measure everything by these. No peace in the home because men have forgotten or neglect their duty; the unity and the stability of the family undermined. Society, in a word, shaken to its foundations and on the way to ruin.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Secular State</h2> <p>Both Liberals and Communists propose a secular state governed from below with no use for God. The only difference is that while Communists promised an earthly Paradise, Liberals are much better at seeming to deliver it. Both of them are deadly opposed to the Reign of Christ the King, to any form of monarchy, of rule from above. They both promise to liberate man from this ‘fictional dictator’ and they both end up only enslaving man to sin and the devil. Both produce a more tyrannical overreaching government than any ever to be found in Christendom.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Freedom of Religion</h2> <p>“Surely it is not I, Lord!” says the Americanist. “Surely, all these condemnations of liberalism only apply to the French Revolution not at all to our American state? Wasn’t freedom of religion better for the Church?”</p> <p>More cunning than their Communist counterparts, American Masons knew that direct persecution would be less effective at destroying the Church than cultivating indifferentism; permitting all religions and treating them all as equally unimportant. The alchemical symbol for the beginning of the Great Work is the green dragon, and so it was in the Green Dragon pub that America’s foundations were crafted in part. Particularly by Benjamin Franklin who, more than anyone else, spread his Masonic beliefs throughout society by his publications, his great scientific genius and a tremendous political influence.</p> <p>The other founders were also Masons or participated in Masonic ceremonies, including Charles Carroll, [<em>a Catholic – Ed</em>.] nor did it cease with them and time does not permit us to list everything. But, for example Truman, a 33rd degree Mason, used the elemental energy of the atom to massacre Catholics in the first Japanese city to outlaw Freemasonry. The Mason Roosevelt gave us the Masonic ‘New Deal’ with a Masonic symbol on the dollar bill proclaiming the <em>Novus Ordo </em>and of course, the Mason Hoover blessed us with the FBI.</p> <p>At the beginning of the Bible, as at the end, there is a conflict between a woman and a serpent. In the Apocalypse, the woman is the Queen of Heaven clothed with the Sun, the moon at her feet, wearing a crown of twelve stars while her Son is to rule all nations with an iron rod from the Throne of God. Their adversary is a red dragon – the devil who seduceth the whole world and who was angry against the woman, and went to make war with the rest of her seed who keep the Commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.</p> <p>It is no coincidence that the symbol of the alchemists for the completion of the Great Work is the red dragon. Pius XI called for Catholics to enter into this warfare and retake society for Christ. To fight courageously under his banner with apostolic zeal, and valiantly defend his rights. But how best do we do this? The answer is in Genesis.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Serpent</h2> <p>At the genesis of America, from the Green Dragon pub, Franklin represented the 13 colonies in the form of a disjointed serpent with the warning ‘Join or Die’, which should remind us of the devil’s false promise to Eve. Later this became a flag with a serpent which says ‘don’t tread on me’. Could it be any more obviously satanic? </p> <p>God punished the serpent in Genesis by making it the lowest of the creatures, aptly representing that material fluidic Force the Alchemists and the Masons worship. And he cursed it saying, “I will put enmities between thee and the Woman, and thy seed and Her seed. She shall crush thy head and thou shalt lie in wait for Her heal.”</p> <p>Now some read here, especially the Protestants who would like Christ to be King without a Queen, who would like to cut Mary out of the Bible, just as much as they have cut Her out of their own Hearts. Now, it is Christ’s power alone which crushes satan but the means that He chose to do so was Mary. </p> <p>We have another reason, though, to follow St Jerome and read, “She shall crush thy head.” For only three women are called blessed among women in the Bible. Jael, who drove a tent spike through the head of Sisera, the leader of the enemy army. Judith, who cut off the head of Holofernes, the leader of the enemy army in her day. And then our Blessed Mother Mary. These Old Testament women are figures of Mary, which means that She must crush the head of a far greater enemy.</p> <p>St Louis Marie De Montfort writes, </p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>“The humble Mary will always have the victory over that proud spirit and so great a victory, that She will go will go to the length of crushing his head where his pride dwells. She will always discover the malice of the serpent. She will always counterwork his infernal minds and dissipate his diabolical counsels, and will guarantee even to the end of time, Her faithful servants from his cruel claw. </p> <p>But the power of Mary over all the Devils will especially break out in the latter times, when Satan will lay his snares against her heel; that is to say, Her humble slaves and her poor children whom She will raise up to make war against him. They shall be little and poor in the world’s esteem and abased before all, like the heel trod underfoot and persecuted as the heel is by the other members of the body. But in return for this, they shall be rich in the grace of God which Mary shall distribute to them abundantly. </p> <p>They shall be great and exalted before God in sanctity, superior to all other creatures by their animated zeal and leaning so strongly on the Divine succor that with the humility of their heal, in union with Mary, they shall crush the head of the devil and thus cause Jesus Christ to triumph.</p> </blockquote> <p>To restore the reign of Christ the King, to make the world subject to Christ, we must be devoted servants – slaves – of his Queen, Mary. </p> <p>We must be more than her slaves: we must cling to Her as Her most devoted children and we must be soldiers in her Legion. The handbook for this very Legion of Mary confidently predicts: in the measure that it makes Her more and more its Mother, is the Legion’s enmity with the powers of evil intensified, and the Victory made more complete.</p> <p>In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.

This is yet another example of the Pope’s <em>modus operandi </em>of teaching by example, rather than by his words which – at least sometimes – can sound quite orthodox.</p> <p>The appointment comes right on the heels of his well-publicised meeting with a transgender hermit – the biological woman who lives as a man and has apparently taken religious vows. The mockery being perpetrated by this pontificate and its orbit really knows no bounds.</p> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Blasphemy</h1> <p><a href="https://blog.messainlatino.it/2024/11/altra-nomina-pro-lgbt-di-francesco.html?m=1">This article</a> explains how the former preacher, Padre Cantalamessa was appointed by John Paul II in 1980 – indicating the extent of the damage done by that man. The new appointment, Father Roberto Pasolini, is even worse – he has blasphemously suggested that the Roman centurion of the Gospels had a homosexual relationship with his servant, and even worse, that Our Lord may have been a sodomite. (You can watch the original video of Pasolini’s sermon in Italian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogh5GdfY9g0&ab_channel=DantePetranzan">here</a>)</p> <p>This only proves the admonition of Scripture in the first chapter of St. Paul’s letter to the Romans: that the hearts of those who ‘change the truth of God into a lie’ will be ‘darkened’ and they will be ‘given up to a reprobate sense’. (Romans 1: 21-32)</p> <p>If you want to see some real weasel words, look at this extract from the transcript of this man’s deplorable talk:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p>Now, a certain condemnation of what we could define homosexuality emerges in the Bible, even if we have made a concept a noun of the things that are indicated in the Bible, I remind you, more precisely: homosexual, passive and active acts : the Bible never speaks of homosexuality in generic terms, deplores some concrete attitudes, some episodes, some actions, not the person.</p> <p>Here, there is no word against inclination, but against homosexual acts, what we could call homogenality, that is, according to Scripture, a genital act of the same sex potentially has an active meaning.</p> <p>Then it seems absent in Scripture, we must recognize it, a judgment on the homosexual condition or orientation, what we today could define as homosexuality as a psychological orientation or existential condition, that is, there is no word that affects this category of people, that is those who wake up and look at a person of the same sex and feel attracted to it, because we talk about these today, not people who have episodes of homosexuality, but people who find themselves living something on an emotional, psychological level from which they cannot and do not want to find a distance.</p> </blockquote> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Friend of Rupnik</h1> <p>But wait, there’s more. You can read <a href="https://blog.messainlatino.it/2024/11/altra-nomina-pro-lgbt-di-francesco.html?m=1">here</a> how Padre Roberto Pasolini is a disciple of the notorious Marco <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2022/12/18/sex-abuser-rupniks-occult-art/">Rupnik</a>, who designed the covers for a series of his books.

href="https://www.daniloquinto.it/la-sinagoga-di-satana-danilo-quinto-6-novembre-2024/">here</a> on his own blog, in Italian) where the author, Danilo Quinto, was once a personal friend of the notorious Ms. Emma Bonino. After experiencing a conversion, he now writes to expose the rot inside and outside the Church. God bless him.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p><em>The <a href="https://gloria.tv/user/V4rcpzUthFwq3eWaNgdKpTCb2">author</a> is a former and repented high-placed activist of the immoral and inhuman Italian Partito Radicale which works for the de-Christianisation of Italy. On 5 November Bergoglio paid a visit to Emma Bonino, a former leader of that party. Bergoglio called Bonino a ‘great Italian’ (sic) and example of ‘liberty and resilience’ (sic).</em></p> <p>I too frequented that terrace in Trastevere, in the centre of Rome.</p> <p>Those were the years when strategies were being imagined and constructed to consolidate the results of the divorce and abortion laws, which destroyed the family institution.</p> <p>A ‘demographic bomb’ was denounced, which never existed, but served to decertify an entire country and prevent, with the spread of the pill and other contraceptive systems, its growth, which is only determined by the birth of new creatures into the world.</p> <p>The foundations for the campaign on euthanasia were laid, which over the years, despite the lack of a law, has become a widespread and customary practice, along with assisted suicide.</p> <p>We discussed how to permanently overthrow the temporal power of the Church; the theory of the third and fourth sex, same-sex marriage, assisted fertilisation, and surrogate motherhood were being spread.</p> <p>Consciences were manipulated to the acceptance and integration of people who sooner or later – after replacing us – will kill us all.</p> <p>Well, on that terrace of that house that has seen literally every colour of the rainbow, the Head of the Catholic Church, the indestructible Jorge Maria Bergoglio, came up the other day.</p> <p>He had a bouquet of white roses and a box of chocolates in his hand, to pay homage to the maximum exponent of that ideology – after the death of Pannella – that has contributed decisively to de-Christianising Italy and making churches useful for making large soup kitchens for the poor, for welcoming migrants or for making money by handing them over to private individuals, who manage them to make museums or other worldly stuff.</p> <p>‘Example of freedom and resilience,’ Bergoglio said of Emma Bonino. He hit the nail on the head.</p> <p>After all, from a man like him, who masterfully interprets the desires of this degenerate world, one could not expect the intention to convert Emma Bonino – he has declared several times that he does not want to convert anyone – but only a snapshot of reality.</p> <p>Certainly, Emma Bonino is an example of ‘freedom and resilience’. Yes, from God! As is the one who uttered these words.</p> <p>Both have done, and they will still do everything until their death – unless they convert, in their case publicly, given the gravity of their sins – to ensure that human beings are free from their Creator and will be resilient to His laws.</p> <p>As have been those many Italian Catholics who have divorced, had abortions, used contraceptive methods, letting an ideology win that has nothing human about it.</p> <p>As has been that modernist Church, a direct product of the secular work of Freemasonry and the Second Vatican Council, which has in Bergoglio its latest interpreter, after a succession of popes subsequent to Pius XII who paved the way for him and the Mafia of St. Gallen.</p> <p>At the conclusion of the encyclical Etsi Multa of 21 November 1873, Pius IX uses an expression that appears twice in the Bible – Synagogue of Satan – in ch. 2 verse 9 and ch. 3 verse 9 of the Apocalypse of St John the Evangelist.</p> <p>He writes: ‘It will perhaps surprise some of you, Venerable Brethren, that the war that is being waged against the Catholic Church today is expanding so much. But whoever knows the character, the aims and the purpose of the sects, whether they are called Masonic or by any other name, and compares them to the character, the manner, and the extent of this war, by which the Church is assailed on almost every side, will certainly not be able to doubt that this calamity is not to be attributed to the frauds and machinations of those sects. For from them is formed the synagogue of Satan, who orders his army against the Church of Christ, raises his banner and comes to battle’.</p> <p>Prophetic words. Exemplary of the situation we live in, where men of the Church prostrate themselves to the World and the builders of Evil.</p> <p>To counterbalance the attempts of those men of the Church and those builders of Evil – united by the design of the strong powers, who want to annihilate man, created in the image and likeness of God – the Church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ, which is of divine origin, will not be brought down, despite the night of Gethsemane that it has been living through for too long, to the delight of its enemies.</p> <p>As the beautiful antiphon at the introit of the Feast of Christ the King of the Apostolic Mass says:</p> <p>‘The Lamb who was slain is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and praise; on Him be Lordship forever’.</p> </blockquote> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p></p> <p></p> <p>Here is Bonino again, dressed as a priest.

St. Kevin’s <em>Novus Ordo</em> parish in suburban Melbourne raises questions as to just who has been designing our modern churches. Named, “Our Father’s Womb”, the chapel exhibits several hallmarks of Wiccan influence: exultation of the Feminine; mockery of the sacred; a giant labyrinth and a spell-casting tool.</p> <p><a href="https://www.brandeis.edu/now/2021/september/wicca-berger-conversation.html">Wicca</a> is differentiated somewhat from witchcraft, although the two are related. Wicca is a religion whose disciples, known as practitioners, worship both a God and a Goddess. Wiccans celebrate rituals according to the seasons which, they believe, put them in touch with the Divine. The beliefs of each Wiccan vary according to the individual although the overarching rule is ‘Harm none and do as you will’. Most, but not all, Wiccans practise witchcraft, but not all witches are Wiccans.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:33.33%"> <p></p> <p>The name of this chapel is absolutely bizarre, and suggests the glorification of the Feminine: “Our Father’s Womb: to the glory of God and in honour of our Blessed Mother.”</p> <p>‘God’ in this case, does not necessarily refer to the Christian God; just as ‘the Blessed Mother’ does not necessarily refer to Our Lady.</p> <p></p> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:66.66%"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-attachment-id="8150" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/img-2862-2/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img-2862-edited.jpg" data-orig-size="3024,2268" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"iPhone 6s Plus","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1727017206","copyright":"","focal_length":"4.15","iso":"25","shutter_speed":"0.0023041474654378","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="IMG-2862" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img-2862-edited.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img-2862-edited.jpg?w=760" loading="lazy" width="3024" height="2268" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img-2862-edited.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8150" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img-2862-edited.jpg 3024w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img-2862-edited.jpg?w=150&h=113 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img-2862-edited.jpg?w=300&h=225 300w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img-2862-edited.jpg?w=768&h=576 768w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/img-2862-edited.jpg?w=1024&h=768 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 3024px) 100vw, 3024px" /></figure> </div> </div> <p>Obviously, men do not have wombs and even more obviously, God is pure spirit and most certainly has no human organ such as a womb.

Snakes have an obvious relevance when it comes to Christianity and witchcraft: they represent Lucifer and his rebellion against God.</p> <p> According to the book, <em>The Women’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets</em>, a spiral represents “death and rebirth as movement into the disappearing-point of formlessness, and out of it again, to a new world of form.” </p> <p>One variation of the spiral is the labyrinth, and one of these is found in the grounds of the church in question. To pagans, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Sacred-Path-Rediscovering-Labyrinth/dp/1594481814">labyrinth</a> is a “<em>metaphor for the spiritual journey and a powerful tool for transformation. This walking meditation is an archetype, a mystical ritual found in all religious traditions.</em>” Thus walking the labyrinth is a form of meditation – the dangerous mind-emptying kind, not the wholesome Catholic tradition of mental prayer.</p> <p>Labyrinths are <a href="https://shewhoseeks.blogspot.com/2010/09/pagan-labyrinths.html">specifically</a> related to Goddess worship, with the circle being an important symbol of the Divine Feminine. So in this setting, the Sacred host is surrounded by two symbols of the Feminine, with the spiral appearing as though it is ready to strangle or consume the Host and the scale of the curtains suggesting the apparent superiority of the goddess over the Triune God.</p> <p>This raises the question: is the Host in this chapel Consecrated? It is truly the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ? My answer to that is yes, probably. For the insult is only complete when such an ignoble setting surrounds the True Presence of the Lord, precisely as He endured during His Passion.</p> <p>What the wicked people responsible for this abomination fail to acknowledge is that He alone created them and died for their sins. Unless they repent, the veil of their souls’ temples will one day be torn in two and they will be cast into everlasting fire for their rebellion and their failure to adore the One, True God.</p> <p>As I was putting together a header image for this post, I wanted to use sacred artwork to counter the foul images of witchcraft that have been flooding my screen. On seeing a beautiful representation of Christ’s Passion, it occurred to me that the Host surrounded by a diabolical wreath of scales is not unlike Christ’s Sacred Head crowned with thorns. Perhaps this is yet another layer of mockery those responsible had in mind.</p> <p></p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="cat-links">Categories <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/category/occult/" rel="category tag">Occult</a></span><span class="sep">•</span><span class="tags-links">Tags <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/featured/" rel="tag">Featured</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/australia/" rel="tag">Australia</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/modernism/" rel="tag">Modernism</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/culture/" rel="tag">Culture</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/occult/" rel="tag">Occult</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/wicca/" rel="tag">Wicca</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/witchcraft/" rel="tag">Witchcraft</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/adoration/" rel="tag">Adoration</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/blessed-sacrament/" rel="tag">Blessed Sacrament</a>, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/tag/melbourne/" rel="tag">Melbourne</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-8027" class="post-8027 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-occult tag-art tag-caravaggio tag-culture tag-featured tag-luce tag-marc-chagall tag-occult tag-pope-francis tag-stang"> <div class="featured-image"> <span> <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/04/let-there-be-luce/"><img width="940" height="627" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png?w=940" class="attachment-toujours-featured size-toujours-featured wp-post-image" alt="Let there be Luce" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png?w=940 940w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png?w=150 150w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png?w=300 300w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png?w=768 768w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png?w=1024 1024w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px" data-attachment-id="8057" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/04/let-there-be-luce/luce/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png" data-orig-size="1200,800" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="LUCE" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png?w=300" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/luce.png?w=760" /></a> </span> </div> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/04/let-there-be-luce/" rel="bookmark">Let There Be Luce</a></h2> <div class="entry-meta"> <span class="posted-on"><span>Published on <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/04/let-there-be-luce/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2024-11-04T10:10:31+11:00">November 4, 2024</time><time class="updated" datetime="2024-11-04T10:20:13+11:00">November 4, 2024</time></a></span></span> <span class="byline">by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/author/anonymouscath/">anonymouscath</a></span></span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/04/let-there-be-luce/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>The controversial anime-inspired ‘Luce’ is the official mascot for the 2025 Jubilee and was<a href="https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2024-10/jubilee-of-hope-2025-concerts-art-exhibitions.html"> launched</a> at a press conference on October 28 by Archbishop Rino Fisichella.

Although being promoted as a pilgrim’s staff, this is very reminiscent of a witch’s stang.

The word was first <a href="https://www.patheos.com/blogs/byathameandstang/2016/08/the-stang/">used</a> by a male witch in the 1960’s but the tool itself is far older and can be found in ancient artwork as well as in various cultures.</p> </div> </div> <p>Luce also features a Rosary without a corpus (so as not to offend the Protestants?) worn around its neck and shells in its eyes.

At first glance, the eyes of Luce seem to be extremely sad and filled with tears – not a great look in these days of industrial-scale child abuse.</p> <p>But Luce is only part of a collection of mysterious esoteric-themed artwork being promoted by the Vatican. <a href="https://www.vaticannews.va/en/vatican-city/news/2024-10/jubilee-of-hope-2025-concerts-art-exhibitions.html">Vatican News</a> also announced that a bizarre painting will be displayed during the Jublilee.

Some of those showed Chagall’s own face in the figure on the cross. This is said to represent the persecution of Jews, especially during the Holocaust. </p> <p>But there may be a more sinister interpretation of this: high-level satanists pursue something known as <em>apotheosis</em>, which is the state of ‘becoming a god’. I’ve <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/10/27/synarchy-and-the-illuminati/">previously</a> mentioned a <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/1503196348?ref_=mr_referred_us_au_au">book</a> by Kerth Barker, in which he mentions some satanists he knew who displayed statues and artwork which featured their own faces. This was because they wanted to be worshipped as gods. Chagall was perhaps attempting to do the same thing by replacing Christ’s face with his own. Chagall’s work was also featured in an occult <a href="https://www.widewalls.ch/magazine/occult-art">art exhibition</a> in Spain in 2023. So while none of this is conclusive evidence of Chagall’s ties to the occult, it is nevertheless interesting in light of the Vatican’s continued use of artwork from <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2023/06/06/vatican-continues-to-use-rupniks-art/">Rupnik</a> and its ties to the very strange artist, <a href="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/07/02/more-evidence-of-a-vatican-s-cult/">Jago</a>.</p> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-10 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img data-attachment-id="8030" data-permalink="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/2024/11/04/let-there-be-luce/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio/" data-orig-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg" data-orig-size="202,300" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="The_Deposition_of_Christ_(Caravaggio)" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg?w=202" data-large-file="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg?w=202" loading="lazy" width="202" height="300" src="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg?w=202" alt="" class="wp-image-8030" style="width:287px;height:auto" srcset="https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg 202w, https://ecclesiasticalfreemasonry.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/the_deposition_of_christ_caravaggio.jpg?w=101 101w" sizes="(max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px" /></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow"> <p></p> <p>Vatican officials are also planning to use ‘Luce’ as a mascot at the 2025 World Expo to be held in Japan. Along with Luce, the Holy See’s pavilion will exhibit Caravaggio’s <em>Deposition of Christ</em>, shown at left. This may be another clue to the existence of Luce: Caravaggio is known as the ‘<a href="https://www.openculture.com/2020/09/a-short-introduction-to-caravaggio-the-master-of-light.html">Master of Light</a>‘ because of his use of the technique known as <em>tenebrism</em> – the dramatic contrast between dark and light areas – in his works. Caravaggio must be a favourite in the Curia, as he was most likely a bisexual who died at an early age, possibly from either syphilis or murder.</p> </div> </div> <p>So with Luce, Chagall and Caravaggio, it’s just a case of ‘another day, another immoral role model’ as the Ape of the Church continues its slow grind towards total apostasy.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span
