Throw the Bums Out!
We’re going to let the facts speak for themselves.
It is a two-way street. We cannot condemn biblical idiots and turn the other cheek because this time the enemy is wearing our uniform.
So it is time for us to take a stand as a people of faith. We can no longer afford the publicity of cardinals, bishops, priests, or anyone else who makes a mockery of Christianity and the true faith of Catholicism by immoral behavior.
The protest-ants and secular media are having a field day. How easy it is for them to point the finger at the hierarchy of a bankrupt leadership and say, “How can Mary be the Immaculate Conception? How can Mary be the Queen of Heaven and Earth? Why should I say, ‘Hail Mary’! This proves the Church is the harlot of Babylon!”
The sins of the hierarchy are any easy excuse to disbelieve the Truths of the faith.
We are writing this article on the eve of Cardinal Law’s meeting with the pope. It is the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Woman Clothed With the Sun. The very woman who saved John Paul from the assassination attempt on the anniversary of Fatima more than two decades ago. Instead of newspapers filled with the need to pray to our Queen for help, they are filled with scandal by those wolves who in sheep’s clothing have led the flock astray.
We pray, plead and implore with Our Lady that She will guide the Holy Father to do what is the only acceptable course of action: THROW THE BUMS OUT!
And now it is necessary for us all, as a people of faith, to take a stand against all the evils and ills that have been brought into our Church since they coined the phrase in the “spirit of Vatican II.” Ironically, after this council, St. Michael, the Archangel who threw lucifer out of Heaven in the battle over the Woman Clothed With the Sun and Her Child, was thrown out of the Mass. Isn’t time to reinstate St. Michael and throw a corrupt leadership out of the Mass instead?
We are not conservatives; we are not liberals. But we are not going to tolerate the idiocy of those who give us the “Teen Life” Masses with drums and electric music pounding in our heads over loudspeakers as we try to contemplate and pray during the mystery of receiving the Eucharist. How insidious; in the background the very ones who have given us these hideous liturgies are hiding and abetting those who traumatize our youth while they claim to embrace them at the Altar.
We, as a people, should no longer tolerate bishops and cardinals who hide the crimes of those who harm little children. We should no longer tolerate the heretics inside our Church. We have enough of them outside the Church.
It is that simple.
We must remember two things as we go forth in this battle: we must first be loyal to Jesus and second keep ourselves safe in the Mantle of His Mother. It is She who has been warning us of these very crimes that have been hidden from us through the messages She gave to Father Don Stefano Gobbi. Her warnings came in the 1980s. The crimes She spoke of are now just coming to light. The failure of the hierarchy is not a surprise to Jesus and Mary. And they will answer to Him.
The infiltrators of our Church — who are neither true Catholics, nor true believers as their behavior testifies — love to use the term “obedience” to get their ways. It is the same excuse blind followers use at war crimes trials. But it is critical to remember our obedience is not to temporal authority when it has lost its moral and ethical compass. Our obedience is to God’s authority. And we will be held accountable for recognizing the thin line between the two. Do not be alarmed by these statements. It is time for us to wake up. With cardinals, bishops and priests confusing the laity with such absurdities as debating whether we should kneel during the Consecration of the Host or not, we should not be surprised at what happens next in the future of our Church. This is especially true once John Paul II is called home.
And while our goal should never be a separate entity or split from the Church as has tragically happened in the past too many times — that will solve nothing — we must remember it is our Church and not theirs.
So as our guides, here are three examples of true believers who, when it came to obedience, did not listen nor obeyed religious authorities who demanded immoral, unethical or anti-Christ activities. The first two are the Apostles Peter and John. When confronted by the religious authorities of their time to deny Christ as God and forbidden to speak His Name, the apostles challenged the hierarchy with these words: “Whether it is right to listen to you rather than to God, decide for yourselves.” Acts of the Apostles 4:19.
This, of course, is to be remembered that what was said was not in the context of the truths of their faith, but in the error of their leaders. So, again, in our battle, it is to be remembered that it is not the dogmas of Catholic belief that are wrong — only its leaders.
When reviewing the behavior of these individuals then, be they pope, cardinal, bishop, priest, nun, or lay person, the easiest way to discover whether they are genuine or not is to ascertain what their personal beliefs are. Just because they wear a collar is no guarantee, we have learned, that they uphold the dogmas of the faith. So:
* how do they feel about Jesus in the Eucharist?
* do they kneel before our King in the Tabernacle?
* do they recognize the Holy Face of Christ on the Shroud of Turin?
* what is their opinion about the millennium-old dogmas of Mary as the Ever-Virgin Mother of God, the Immaculate Conception, Her Assumption, and Queenship?
* do they love to pray the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet on their knees?
* do they speak lovingly of Mary when they can or do they avoid mentioning Her?
These dividing lines will tell you where these people are — no matter what collar or hat they may be hiding under. And based on their actions, you will know whether you should follow them or not. It is not enough for them to tell you they believe; what are they doing about it?
As Jesus said, “But do not act according to their works; for they talk but do nothing!” Matthew 23:3
One must be very clear about this. For whether a pope, cardinal, bishop, priest, nun, religious, or lay person commits sin, it does not reflect on the Truths the Holy Spirit has given us since the foundation of the Church. If one of these should tell us not to kneel during the Consecration, we are under no obligation to obey. If they tell us it is not necessary to say the St. Michael prayer, they cannot stop us from remaining after Mass and offering it to God.
Therefore, look for those who are following the instructions of Jesus and Mary and defending the 2,000-year-old truths regarding the King and Queen of Heaven and Earth.
And this brings us to our third example. It was a time of great persecution. Not from the Roman Empire; not from pagan believers; not from the pharisees and scribes. It was a time of great persecution from the very bishops of the Catholic Church.
It was the time when, as St. Jerome recorded, the world “groaned” as it followed the heretic Arius. As a renegade priest who did not believe that Jesus was equal with the Father, Arius had the entire Catholic world believing in his misinterpretation of Scripture. You might call him the first “biblical idiot” of his time.
Only one man stood against him — and stood against the bishops of the Church. As a result of the Arian heresy raging at this time, we can note an important lesson. Not one of these people involved in the heresy, Arius, or the bishops of the Church during the 4th century have the title of Saint in front of their names.
But the one man alone who fought against them does.
His name is St. Anthanasius — and if there is a role model for today, he is it.
As the Lord brings His Church from the Alpha to Omega, remember it will turn full circle. In the beginning, it was persecuted and forced underground. At the end, it will be so again.
After the persecution ended in the beginning of the Church’s history, it wasn’t long before the hierarchy was heretical and immoral for a time. Therefore, before the persecution begins at the end of the Church’s history, we can only expect what we are experiencing now: that the hierarchy will be heretical and immoral for a time.
As the Lord prophesied,
“It is impossible that scandals should not come; but woe to him through whom they come! It were better for him if a millstone were hung about his neck and he were thrown into the sea, then that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.” Luke 17:1-2.
Since the hierarchy did not take these words to heart, now, what they have done in secret, is being shouted from the rooftops.
And while the Lord Jesus also prophesied that the “gates of hell” shall not prevail against the Catholic Church, the Judgment of God will come upon those who have led it astray.
Do we pray for Cardinal Law? Of course we do. It is our moral obligation to do so and an act of Christian charity.
But should he, or anyone like him, continue to remain in office as a leader of our faith?
Of course he shouldn’t. And it is the pope's moral obligation and act of Christian leadership to remove him.
We pray that with Mary’s guidance, John Paul II will do what is necessary, whether it be Law or anyone else, and throw the bums out!
