A Viper in the Vatican

and His Own Brood of Vipers
 

A Frightening Diorama
in the Paul VI Audience Hall

In a description that is itself descriptive of the impoverished minds of that sad body of men called the Catholic bishops in America, the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) describes erotic modernist “sculptor” Pericle Fazzini's macabre nightmare above as — ready? — “An ‘explosion’ of spirituality.”

Do you feel it? Are you transported by this? What arises within you? What is that surge, apart from the vomitus?

In a brief excursion into the real world, they go on to state that,

“[Fazzini] used polystyrene, a then-experimental plastic which, when heated, sent toxic microplastics into the air. Creating the model of ‘Resurrection’ gave Fazzini lung poisoning, which led to the artist's death a decade after the sculpture was completed.” https://www.usccb.org/news/2023/over-popes-shoulder-explosion-spirituality-bronze
 

Can anyone of a sound mind truthfully say that they are spiritually elevated, “lifted up,” by this scrap metal — and not have to go to Confession afterward?

A crack to Hell did not open up in the Vatican following Vatican II as Paul VI observed. A chasm did, and the throne of Peter tumbled into it headlong. Paul VI saw this¹ — and did nothing to stamp out the encroaching flames; indeed he fanned them in all ecumenical zeal. And not Paul VI alone. His three successors keep “celebrating” the sacrilegious and now recurring “World Day of Prayer for Peace in Assisi” — joining heretics and pagans in prayer to their false gods: first John Paul II (Assisi on October 27, 1986) , then Benedict XVI (October 27, 2011 ) and, of course, Bergoglio on September 20, 2016.

And still you regard John Paul II and Benedict XVI as attempting to keep custody of the 2000 years of traditional Catholicism? I think not.

As there was a snake in the Garden in the beginning², it is altogether fitting that we find him now (possibly near the end) on the throne. The Paul VI Hall is unquestionably emblematic of all that has gone wrong in the Church since “good John” XXIII “flung open its windows” to let in the reek of the world while providing a draft for the flames smoldering beneath it. In this sense, it is the most fitting venue of the post-Vatican-II popes precisely because it has been the abode of snakes for the past 52 years, and each of them has spawned their brood as recreant cardinals and bishops every bit as poisonous as the first serpent was to our first parents.

But none have made themselves enemies of the Faithful and of the Gospel, of all that is good, true, and beautiful — in the manner and measure of the heretic Bergoglio. Do not be deceived thinking that a dove will arise from the pit of snakes. The skin may be shed but a brood has already been spawned.

Do I “judge” every pontiff since 1962? Of course not. But I do recognize a snake when I see one, and for all your pretensions that it is not a snake, and not poisonous, I will not feed it. And neither should you.

Saint John the Baptist said it best: 

“Progenies viperarum! Brood of vipers! Who has warned you to flee the wrath to come?” (St. Matthew 3.7)
