The Apostasy will begin with priests who betray the Gospel for Satanic Marxism

As noted here: "The Virgin revealed that the priests who betray the Gospel for Satanic Marxism would begin the Great Apostasy."

Readers of this Blog know full well that I've been sounding the alarm for some 36 years. See this post for example and here.

We are witnessing the gradual emergence of a new humanitarian religion which proposes man, instead of God, as the object of worship. This "religion for progress," as Teilhard de Chardin referred to it, is anti-supernatural. Robert Hugh Benson describes it in his classic "The Lord of the World" thusly: 

"Humanitarianism...is becoming the an actual religion itself, though anti-supernatural. It is a Pantheism. Pantheism deifies all nature, God is the world, but naturally, man above all is God since he is the highest expression of nature. It is a religion devoid of the 'super' natural, because since God is nature itself, there is no longer a distinction between Creator and creature. The creature is God and hence arbitrator of his own destiny and establishes the moral law for himself. Nature, and man is its highest expression, has all the divine attributes. Humanitarianism is a religion devoid of the supernatural. It is developing a ritual under Freemasonry; it has a creed, 'God is man'; and the rest. It has, therefore, a real food of a sort to offer religious cravings: it idealizes, and yet makes no demands upon the spiritual faculties. Then, they have the use of all the churches except ours, and of all the Cathedrals; and they are beginning at last to encourage sentiment. Then they may display their symbols and we may not..."

Marxism was an expression of the humanitarian religion. It worshipped society and the state symbols of the party: Lenin, Stalin and Mao. National Socialism deified the state and its Fuhrer Adolph Hitler. Today the United States is moving toward Socialism and that "..supreme religious deception..that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 675).

Albert Drexel, in Ein Neuer Prophet? (Stein am Rhein: Christiana, 1971) explains that: "The modernism or neo-modernism within Christianity, and especially within the Roman Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council, is above all characterized by a turning away from the supernatural and an exclusive predilection for this world, the Aggiornamento of Pope John XXIII interpreted one-sidedly and hence misapplied. Teilhard's ideology was was a definitive precondition for this. Inasmuch as he turned his back to the past, fused God and the supernatural with the process of a universal evolutionism, and proclaimed religion to be an active participation in a progressive development ending in Point Omega, the basis was given for a humanist cult of the secular." (p. 115).

In the New World Order, man will no longer believe in a God whom he cannot control. Man will worship himself and his new leader who will, like Hitler, be deified: the man spoken of by Saint Paul as the Man of Sin, the Son of Perdition. This world ruler will not tolerate anyone who adores any god other than himself. As Romano Guardini has noted, "The ultimate aim of all aims will be to prove that existence without Christ is possible - nay rather, that Christ is the enemy of existence, which can be fully realized only when all Christian values have been destroyed.." (The Lord, p. 513).

Pray to the Immaculata. The Man of Sin will soon reveal himself.  And his False Prophet will be there to welcome him with open arms.

None of this could have happened without first conspiring to remove Pope Benedict XVI in order to begin the creation of a Modernistic church. The Dark Church foretold by Anne

Catherine Emmerich.  See here.

Just War according to Catholic teaching

The teaching of the Catholic Church on Just War is crystal clear. A nice review may be found here

Of course Robert Prevost disagrees with this. In his Palm Sunday address, he stated that Jesus rejects war (one wonders if his Jesus rejects idolatry).

Some good old fashioned common sense from Father Frank Pavone here.

More background on Pope Leo XIV and the Pachamama idolatry

 

2113 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church 

Idolatry not only refers to false pagan worship. It remains a constant temptation to faith. Idolatry consists in divinizing what is not God. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God, whether this be gods or demons (for example, satanism), power, pleasure, race, ancestors, the state, money, etc. Jesus says, "You cannot serve God and mammon."44 Many martyrs died for not adoring "the Beast"45 refusing even to simulate such worship. Idolatry rejects the unique Lordship of God; it is therefore incompatible with communion with God.46

44. Mt 6:24.

45. Cf. Rev 13-14.

46. Cf. Gal 5:20; Eph 5:5.

Ignorant about the history of evil

Mark Levin rebukes those pacifists who are ignorant about the history of evil. See here

"..history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative." - General Douglas MacArthur 

Pacifists,  including sadly some Catholics ignorant of the history of evil,  and many of them partisan Democrats, would have you believe military action in Iran is wrong. These delusional folks ignore the fact that Iran was close to nuclear weapons which could reach Israel,  Europe and the United States and that they were ready to issue a preemptive strike against the Western Nations.

They also care nothing for the Iranian people who were being slaughtered by Ali Khamenei and his demonic regime, frozen in a 7th century ideology of hatred and murder. See here for example. 

But honest people of good will know full well that appeasement doesn't work. And there is no dialogue with people who are, well, insane.

A Just War. See here

"..a time of war."

 It begins. See here

"There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces. A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away. A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace."

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8.

Saintly perspectives on just war emphasize that while peace is the ultimate goal, force may be used as a last resort to defend justice and the common good. 

Saint Augustine of Hippo emphasized that war should be waged to achieve peace, not for violence or revenge.

Saint Thomas Aquinas outlined that a just war requires sovereign authority, a just cause, and a rightful intention.

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux: Suggested that while not ideal, sometimes it is necessary to stop persecution.

Saint Athanasius & St. Basil noted that killing in defense of the faithful and piety is not considered murder, but a necessary action.

Saint Isidore of Seville: Defined just wars as those waged only for defense or to stop an enemy.

A cleric who engages in sexual misconduct with a minor is not "venerable" Pope Leo XIV

 As explained here:

"A 'missionary' bishop made 'Venerable'* and green-lighted for the beatification process by Pope Leo XIV allowed indigenous youth to touch his genitals and shared a bed naked with a youth who had previously made “provocative homosexual attempts,” recently published reports show.

In May 2025, Leo declared Msgr. Alejandro Labaka 'Venerable' along with Sr. Inés Arango Velásquez, with whom he worked. InfoCatolica recently highlighted concerning passages in Labaka’s autobiographical writings in which the bishop recounted his observations of disordered sexual practices of the Huaorani people in the Amazon. Of particular concern is one time when he admittedly allowed the indigenous youth to arouse him.

He recounted in the Huaorani Chronicle, according to InfoCatólica:

The young people were more playful than ever, abound in words and signs that figured the union of sexes, allowing touches on the genitals. This time they especially bothered me, until confirming with uproar that male reactions are identical between us and the Huaorani. In any case, they did not insist either with me or among themselves in a way that pollution occurred. I tried not to make any drama and made an effort to act with naturalness, laugh with them and dissuade them from the game (CH, 146).

This incident was facilitated by the fact Labaka habitually lived nude with the Huaorani, in order to 'adapt' to their culture. As he explained in the Huaorani Chronicle, “They lived naked and I too was often naked like them.” Instead of approaching their nudism from the point of view of Catholic teaching, which understands clothing to be a necessary safeguard following original sin, Labaka claimed that the Huaorani did not need clothes in their “natural morality.”

“Blessed nudism of the Huaorani, who do not need cloths to safeguard their norms of natural morality!” Labaka wrote. “God has wanted to preserve in this people the way of life, the natural morality as in Paradise before sin,” he claimed, even going so far as to call the Huaorani’s culture as one of “extraordinary sexual maturity.”

This claim that the Huaorani did “not need” clothing and lived a “morality as in Paradise before sin” is at odds with Labaka’s description of the youth’s regular, disordered sexual experimentation. He recalled in the Huaorani Chronicle:

I observed the ease, or rather the almost generalized practice as something ritual, of getting excited among males frequently … in addition to other homosexual-looking games in their long family gatherings … Starting from their reality required me to bathe with them or like them, or in the sight of young people and children, with complete naturalness; intentionally performing the full grooming of an adult male; allowing to satisfy the natural curiosity to touch and see in what they see us different.

Labaka also admitted to “lying down naked” in bed with a youth who he said had previously made homosexual advances.

“Peigo (a young Huaorani) stayed, apparently, without a hammock and approached my bed. On previous days I had rejected him, for I feared him because of his gestures and provocative homosexual attempts. This time I had another understanding of ‘accept everything, except sin’ and I shared the bed lying down naked under the same mosquito net,” wrote the bishop.

Father Dave Nix ripped Labaka for allowing the youth to touch his genitals in a repost of Chris Jackson’s commentary on Pope Leo’s elevation of Labaka via the canonization process.

“Anytime there is genital contact between an adult and a child, the adult is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS the predator, even if he acts coy like this pervert,” Nix wrote.

Jackson observed, “The duty to avoid scandal does not dissolve because a culture has different customs. A missionary can learn a language, eat what is set before him, sleep in a hut, accept poverty, accept danger, accept martyrdom. He does not get to sanctify conditions that predictably invite sexual sin, especially in the presence of the young.”

Under the current Code of Canon Law (specifically revised in 2021, Canon 1398), a cleric who engages in sexual misconduct with a minor (under 18) commits a severe crime against the sacrament and human dignity. Such actions are punishable by dismissal from the clerical state (laicization) and other penalties, with consent being irrelevant. 

Key aspects of Canon Law regarding clerical sexual abuse of minors:

Definition of a Minor: A minor is defined as any person under 18 years of age.

The Offense: Canon 1398 §1 dictates that a cleric is to be punished with removal from office and other penalties, including dismissal, if they commit a sexual act with a minor, groom them, or produce pornography.

Irrelevance of Consent/Age: The minor’s consent, or their initiation of the act, does not mitigate the offense. Recent updates in 2021 removed loopholes where clerics claimed they did not know the victim was a minor.

Punishment: The "just penalties" often include permanent removal from ministry and dismissal from the clerical state.

Reporting: Dioceses are required to have procedures for reporting to civil authorities, cooperating with investigations, and providing pastoral care to victims. 

This is the Church in crisis under Leo XIV. A church where heresy has a home and clerics who allow boys to fondle their genitals and sexually arouse them may be declared "Venerable" and potentially raised to the

altars as canonized Saints.

The counterfeit Church within the Church has been erected. Enter the Antichrist.
