The Sacred as Profane
— and the Profanation of the Sacred
The Church is no longer CONTRARY to the world ...
It is not even DISTINCT
from it
Can YOU distinguish between the Church and the Municipal
Social Services?
The
present-day “Catholic” Church
has become — most especially under
Francis — a tiresome reiteration of social correctitude
and utterly insipid platitudes from sources other
than Holy Scripture and Sacred Tradition. Let us
be unequivocally forthright: the Catholic Church, since
Vatican II, has become a de facto Secular and Social
Agency, rather than a Sacred Body
instituted by Christ to faithfully transmit the authentic
Catholic Faith and ... oh yes, to save souls.
Francis’s
“God
of Surprises”
and “Church
of Discernment and Accompaniment in Sin”
is the venue pre-eminent where people
“dialogue”
(a
noun — not a verb) — while
the rest of us
“speak”
to one another or
“discuss”
issues. To
“dialogue”,
you must understand, is to pretend that one is learned in
a subject of which one knows little or nothing, but nevertheless
wishes to be accounted among the intelligentsia — who, presumably,
use such absurd terms (e.g.
“would
you like to dialogue about what you did today?”)
while the rest of unenlightened mankind witlessly settles
with “talking
with each other”.
The notion of “dialoguing”
is
oddly dear
to pretentious liberal
circles, the social sciences,
feminism and the homosexual lobby — which are invariably
concerned with
“social
structures”,
ecclesiastical “constructs”,
gender fluidity and a looming environmental catastrophe
etched in oddly indiscernible “carbon footprints”.
How can the quaint notion of the salvation of
souls possibly compete with this present patriarchal
oppression and impending disaster?
Under Francis the Church
is principally concerned with
“dialoguing”
with other religious traditions it esteems
“wiser”
than Catholicism, and it seeks to acquire — even to
incorporate — their aboriginal wisdom, especially as
it flows from the Amazon basin — wisdom of which the
Church stands in urgent need since the wisdom of Christ
is apparently deficient and stands in dire need of rehabilitation
through more primitive sources.
The real evangel of
Francis’s “Church of Surprise” is to promote a
social and material agenda unmistakably deriving from
the leftist, elitist, liberal,
academic, “intellectual” and wealthy
strata of a purely secular society from which
God is banished as an impediment to the fulfillment of every
inflection of perversion and sin.
The “post-Conciliar Church”
is merely the façade of a spurious ecclesiastical organ
acting within a much broader social and political context.
It has become a temporal functionary — contrived
through Vatican II — to reiterate prevailing secular
social agenda — but in the subtle terms of a sacralized
redaction of what is ultimately a profane
Social Manifesto.
Lenin wrote “The State
and Revolution” in an attempt to legitimize what was
essentially a Socialist coup. Perhaps Francis will
— in virtue of his uniquely acquired “personal magisterium”
— write a similar document aptly entitled“The Church
and Revolution” and to a similar end, devastating the
Church much as Lenin had devastated Russia. Lenin argued
the following: “While the State exists there can
be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be
no State.” Francis need only substitute a noun: “While the
Church exists there can be no freedom; when there
is freedom there will be no Church.” While
Marx spoke of the
“withering away of the state”
as the triumph of Communism, Francis understands it as the
“withering
away of the Church”
— and the triumph of Modernism! Total indifference and total
indifferentiation.
Comrade Francis strives precisely to this end.

Vatican
II was an absolute calamity
that culminated in ecclesiastical suicide
and the final triumph of the Second Protestant Revolt
(which was never a “Reformation”) in 1962 that finally abolished
Catholicism, pronouncing its ancient dogma and doctrines
— especially those that accord with, or derive from, the
Sacred Deposit of Faith and Sacred Tradition
— utterly extraneous — the mere vestiges of a presumed medieval
superstition which was once and for all expunged by the
“Rational
Enlightenment”.
That this was achieved through the complicity of
the “Council Fathers” themselves — most of whom ceased being
“Catholic” long before the “Council” — is the most superficial
intimation of what was to follow.
The Church is no
longer contrary to the world. It is not even distinct
from it, but exists as a pseudo-moral
facet of what might be described as a purely synthetic
Quadraplex consisting of a social facet, a
political facet, an economic facet — together
with this spurious moral facet — which simply
endorses — by reflecting — the secular agenda
of other three, contributing of itself nothing
distinct and uniquely substantive — which
is to say that it has become merely a redundant and ultimately
tiresome iteration of Humanism.
This is not the Holy Catholic Church — which remains
unblemished by the corruption of the post-Vatican II
“Conciliar
Church”, the mere
simulacrum of what that fraudulent council, in its conceit,
believed it has abolished — but which remains, much to its
dismay, vibrant and growing — most especially — and most
telling — among the young. (1 Saint John 2.13)
