First, the Infallible PredictionThe worldwide scandal that Catholic children come out of Catholic schools with no knowledge whatsoever of the Catholic Church, of Her Catholic Truth, her Dogmas, Her infallible Tradition and Her uniqueness, goes on unabated. A whole generation of Catholics has been lost, and everywhere anti-discriminatory legislation has been put in place which forbids the few Catholic parents who care from laying the blame at the doorstep of bishops, priests and religious. The great majority of Catholics are quite happy with the easy church which the Modernists have erected as a substitute for the Catholic Church, and held up everywhere as the modern Catholic Church: the new Catholicism, given to the world, so they claim, by the Second Vatican Council. That this has resulted in darkness and absolute chaos in spiritual matters on a grand scale is understandable. The lifelong task of so many bishops, of calculating and weighing how much Modernism they can filter into their dioceses against the God-given Light of the Magisterium and Tradition of the Catholic Church, has been accurately foreseen and foretold with a precision never surpassed even by the universal false ecumenism: What has become of their Catholicity? Alas, this organisation (SILLON, composed of well-meaning social Catholics in France) which formerly afforded such promising expectations, has been harnessed in its course by the modern enemies of the Church, and is now no more than a miserable effluent, feeding the great movement of apostasy, being organised in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church, which shall have neither dogmas nor hierarchy neither discipline of the mind nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world the reign of legalised cunning and brute force and of the oppression of the weak and of all those who toil and suffer ... We know only too well the dark work-shops in which are elaborated those mischievous doctrines. [Our Apostolic Mandate, Pope St. Pius X, 1910]. Flourishing worldwide Catholicism of barely forty years ago has been harnessed in its course by the modern enemies of the Church, the Modernists and New-Age catholics (feminists), who overnight have abandoned Her in droves. They are now no more than the miserable effluent the Pope and Saint spoke about in the above quote, feeding the great movement of apostasy organised in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church. It is the purpose of this article to analyse how this monstrosity is being devised, and under what names it is being presented. But first a bit more about Pope St. Pius X. This far-seeing Pope and Saint gave us in great detail the hallmarks by which this worldwide movement of apostasy can be recognised: It will show itself as a religious monstrosity with no Creed (no dogma), with an abandoned authority (no Hierarchy), with no Truth (no discipline of the mind), and with a total disregard for moral responsibility (no curb on the passions). And who is there living in todays world, who can say that all this has not come to pass, is not with us at this very moment in history and has not been fulfilled to the letter? All this would be bad enough if it were all this Holy Father could have truthfully said about this great movement of apostasy. But he added much more to it. No doubt many observant students of the world scene could have guessed a hundred or so years ago, that a world unshackled from a Divinely revealed Creed, and freed from the guidance of a God-willed Authority, would end up as a world in which there would be no Truth, no longer any moral absolutes and therefore no curb on the passions. But to all this, this holy man from God added something that no one could have known beforehand unless lifted up by God and placed right in the middle of what would be going on in the very heart of life in the second half of the twentieth century. The Saint foretold that this modernistic counter-church, this religious monstrosity, this great movement of apostasy, would use pretence. And he gives us two examples of this pretence: the pretext of freedom and the pretext of human dignity. And since any pretence is not inspired by Truth, and so is Godless no matter how much the mass media would like us to believe otherwise, both these pretexts mentioned by Pope St. Pius X are part and parcel of this great apostasy. So how will we ever know in the darkness that surrounds us everywhere which are the freedom and human dignity that come from God and which are the false ones spread around by the world of the Beast, by all the Modernists and by the WCC? With regard to this difficulty, Pope St. Pius X has not left us in any doubt, in spite of the sickening darkness in which we have to find our way. For he and his successors to the See of St. Peter have made it abundantly clear which freedom and human dignity come from God and which ones are used as a pretence by the great movement of apostasy. The freedom and human dignity preached by the Modernists, by the WCC and by all those who no longer believe in any dogma, who no longer accept a transcendental truth, who no longer obey a God-given authority and who no longer admit to the existence of an objective and absolute morality imposed on everyone by the Creator Himself, such freedom and human dignity are used as a pretext to do evil. They are specified by the Saint as:
And I repeat that this astounding precision of the very essence of our time could never have come from guesswork but only from a direct inspiration by the Holy Spirit. We only have to turn on the television, open a newspaper or a modern magazine anywhere in the world to see how literally the prophecy of Pope St. Pius X has been fulfilled. The push of the homosexual network, the strident demands of feminism, the harsh legislations of governments, the freedom of big business by which the poor are oppressed and sucked dry to increase the wealth of the rich, the brute force by which minor offences against unjust laws are being punished whereas the rich offenders against just laws can buy for themselves exemptions: it all adds up to a world without fear of God, a world of no belief in Revealed Truths, of no hierarchical values, no discipline of the mind and no curb on the passions. In other words, a world of pretence and pretexts, a world of total license for those who can afford this legalised cunning for their own advantage, and of oppression for those who cannot. This church of darkness then, this church of the second beast that looks like the Lamb but speaks like the dragon [Rev.13:11] is the exact antithesis of the Church of which Our Blessed Lady is the earliest beginning and the total model. From this it follows that the Faith of Our Blessed Lady must have had a lot to do with clear thinking, and that both the natural and the supernatural light were used by Her for the proper ordering of Her life and all Her actions. It is this organic unity between these two lights, the light of reason and the supernatural Light of Catholic Faith, which is the most formidable thing on this earth. It is to this unbreakable bond to which His Holiness Pope St. Pius X gave the name of the discipline of the mind, the absence of which he clearly foresaw and foretold as the hallmark of the great movement of apostasy, which he saw operating in every country already in his days for the establishment on earth of the One-World Church of darkness and deception. As the readers proceed through this treatise they will become conscious of the fact of how massive this global deception is even in local Catholic Churches, and how by far the great majority of our contemporaries have lost sound judgement, clear thinking and so the priceless gift of the discipline of the mind. This will do to show us how accurately the hallmarks of the coming One-World Church have been foreseen and foretold by the highest teaching authority within the One True Church founded by Christ: Our Holy Mother the Catholic Church. And it will be precisely this Church which the heretics, the schismatics and that whole army of intolerant apostates will do their level best to tear every Catholic on earth away from. Have no illusions about that! |
