When the Bergoglio Vatican decides to mark the first day of the liturgical year with a stealth-bomb promulgation
answering YES, in effect, to the first dubium, what would you expect but a barrage of red-letter headlines?
Whether or not canon lawyers will call the flagrant move heresy or some variant of it, I think Mundabor - who clearly thinks it is outright heresy - makes
a compelling presentation of the situation as we have it today - he calls it Honorius 2.0.
Officially heretical Pope: What now?
December 3, 2017
After the official proclamation of
heresy beyond any reasonable doubt some of the understandably shocked Catholics will now experience, methinks, a certain sense of disorientation. Therefore, it seems to me that it is now necessary to go back in time and search whether something like that has ever happened in the history of the Church, and what happened next.
It seems to me that we are now in a phase of obvious Honorius 2.0 :
the Pope was officially a heretic and the Bishops (there were no Cardinals then) simply did nothing for as long as the Pope was in charge, and for some time afterwards.
Did the See become vacant? No.
Did the Church die? No.
Did the world end? No.
The Church, which is Indefectible, survived Honorius, and she will survive Francis, irrespective of how many bishops and cardinals will be sent to hell for the offences done to her.
What happened next? At some point after the death of Honorius, it was decided to right the heresy with the extremely strong move of an Ecumenical Council.
Mind, though: as long as he lived, Honorius did not have to retract and I have no knowledge of official resistance of the bishops, or threat to declare Honorius self-deposed (as it was done, though the details are unclear, with Pope Marcellinus) in virtue of the offence committed (“Judge thyself!”, the bishops famously said to Marcellinus).
Yes, we are tested. We are tested by the cowardice and idiocy of the Burkes of the world almost as much as we are tested by the obvious faithlessness and heresy of Francis.
But let us put things in the proper context here: just as the faithful in the time of Honorius were not so important that Honorius’s heresy had to mean the end of the church, or of the world, or of whatever is good and holy, we are not so important that this officially heretical pontificate has to mean that the end times are now near.
Instead of waiting for Armageddon (which will come, have no doubt about this, at the appointed time anyway), you had better pray more and reflect that you, and everyone else, is expected to know and follow the manual irrespective of what Francis says.
If the world ends, be prepared. But hey, be prepared anyway, and consider that the world did not end in the time of Honorius.
As I have developed an allergic reaction to meaningless whining and “the end is near” doom saying, I will not publish any comment that does now incite the readers to do (to pray more, to do more penance, to become more active in our sphere of influence) rather than to whinge.
Man up, grab your shield, and go to war.
Yours is not the first generation to experience the seemingly unthinkable.
One can only be thankful there are little signs here and there that the rank and file of the Church Militant are fighting back to uphold
the faith against the supposed Vicar of Christ on earth, who seems to have chosen to be the wolf in shepherd's guise to his flock...

'Pirate' leaflets turn up in some
Rome churches inviting prayers
Translated from
December 3, 2017
In some churches in Rome, yesterday, and today, there were leaflets inviting the faithful to pray. The leaflets feature a smiling Pope Francis circumscribed by a rosary, and a list of seven prayer intentions:
- that Rome may return to the faith
- that Our Lady may come ahead of Luther
- that faith may come ahead of politics
- that Pannella and Bonino should never again be held up as models
- that the pope may choose to talk to cardinals rather than the media
- that the pope may stop persecuting priests and religious orders he does not like
- that the pope does not keep silent in the face of those who are enemies of the family and of life
The leaflets carry no attribution.
Anyone following the affairs of ;the Church today' will have no problem deciphering the significance of these prayer intentions.
The second intention, for example, evidently reers to the stamp issued by the Vatican to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran schism, in which Luther and his foremost theologian Melancthon are shown kneeling before the crucified Lord in place of Mary and the Apostle John.
Pannella [longtime leader of the Radical Party of Italy who died earlier this year] was profusely lauded for his 'spirit' on his death by Mons. Vincenzo Paglia, Bergoglio's appointee to head the Pontifical Academy for Life, although Pannella fought all his lfie for abortion on demand, same-sex 'marriage' and euthanasia, while Pannella's longtime deputy, Emma Bonino, grande dame of Italian abortionists, has been praised by this pope as one of the greatest of contemporary Italian leaders.
The reference to cardinals and media probably has to do with the DUBIA cardinals and Eugenio Scalfari, the pope's atheist BFF, with whom he has these periodic 'chats', dutifully reported in direct quotes by Scalfari.
And the persecuted priests and religious orders would include the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate who have been the object the Bergoglio Vatican';s crackdown and takedown.
If I had any hand at all in framing the intentions, I would have recommended that the first intention was "that the pope may become Catholic and lead the Church of Christ as he was elected to do"... BTW, this is the second initiative one might call 'anti-Bergoglio' carried out in Rome this year, but the prayer leaflets are decidedly better than the sourpuss Bergoglio posters that papered the main streets of Rome earlier this year...
Speaking of church handouts, Holy Innocents in Manhattan, in addition to the Sunday EF Mass propers and weekly parish bulletin, always has quite a variety available - most of them beautiful brochures, leaflets or prayer cards by various religious associations to promote a particular devotion or to honor a saint. There have been quite a variety related to the Fatima centenary year. Last Sunday, one of the handouts was a double-sided leaflet containing the text of Fr. Weinandy's letter to the pope and his explanation of how he came to write it.
Before his homily, Fr. James Miara, our young parish priest,included among his parish announcements a reference to the Rosary event planned for December 12, Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Holy Innocents, of course, is where Fr. Peter Stravinskas occasionally celebrates Mass and gives those homilies that Catholic World Report later publishes. You can see why I very much feel at home at Holy Innocents.
I find this post from a quirky Brit blogger very much on target for someone who already jestingly referred to himself as Jesus II...
Has the Second Coming already happened?
The Gospel on the First Sunday of Advent tells us
we don't know when to expect Christ's Second Coming.
What if the Second Coming has already taken place as
we are told by the Book of the prophet Ivere(gh)iah?

"... and he will return to judge and insult the quick and the dead..."
Only a fragment of the prophecy survives, but what there is, is fairly definite.
1. And when the Saviour returns he will appear in the humble town of Buenos Aires in the land of gauchos and corned beef.
2. And he will take control of his Church gradually, appearing in a cloud of glory - or at least, white smoke - having been led to the throne of Peter by the four horsemen of the Apocalypse - Murphy-O'Connor (Confusion), Martini (Scandal), Kasper (Heresy) and Danneels (Corruption).
3. His reign will on Earth will last for many years, and be a time of great trouble.
4. For he will explain the scriptures, and bring out new meanings that were never found by the previous occupants of the throne of Peter.
5. And his lowly servants, bearing the names Spadaro, Martin, Faggioli, and many others, will explain that doctrine has evolved, and that which was Gospel Truth in the land of Judaea two thousand years ago is no longer "hip", "cool" and "groovy" (in the language of Vatican II). In short it must be replaced.
6. Thus there will be a New Testament, to be called Amoral Latitude, which will deliver a new message, but in as confusing a way as possible.
7. For the Saviour will not wish that the theologians and moral philosophers go out of business, by actually saying something clear and unambiguous.
8. For what else can they do? They cannot dig, and to beg they are ashamed. So they must continue to preach.
