(LifeSiteNews [adapted]) — A Catholic priest, who serves as a chaplain in the Irish Army, was ambushed and stabbed “multiple times” in a “frenzied attack” on Thursday night in Galway, Ireland – which saw Irish soldiers open fire in response. Initial reports said a “teenage male youth” had been detained, who reportedly “uttered statements about Irish military involvement in the Middle East.”
Virgin Media News issued the following report on the violent assault today:
Father Paul Murphy, a 52 year old Chaplain with the Irish Army, was stabbed outside Renmore Barracks, Galway in the West of Ireland at around 10:45 p.m. last night as he arrived for duty in his car.
Fr. Murphy was seriously injured, but survived the attack – sending a message from Galway’s University Hospital as he awaits surgery.
He thanked people in a Facebook post on Friday for their “prayers, love and concern.”
I’m doing okay: just awaiting surgery. All will be well.
According to the Irish Mirror, police are investigating whether the incident was terror related.
Quote:The Special Detective Unit of An Garda Síochána [Irish police] is involved in this investigation. One line of enquiry is to establish if this attack had a terrorism motivation.
Irish Mirror journalist Paul Healy reported details of the attack:
Quote:It is understood Fr. Murphy was sitting in his car waiting for the barracks gates to open when the attacker approached him.
Sources say the chaplain lowered his window and the attacker immediately stabbed him multiple times.
Healy goes on to recount how Fr. Murphy tried to escape, stating:
Quote:The gates of the barracks then opened and Fr. Murphy is understood to have driven forward in an effort to get away from the stabber.
The attacker however clung onto the vehicle and continued to try and attack Fr. Murphy.
Irish soldiers then “fired a number of warning shots,” Healy said, adding that a search of the suspect’s home saw evidence which may explain the motive.
Quote:Sources say Gardaí [police] have since searched the suspect’s address in the Galway area and a number of items of interest, including radicalized ‘literature’ were recovered.
There are now concerns that the teenager became radicalized online and that he had a specific grievance and plan to target Defence Forces members.
Healy further reports that “online social media posts” made by the suspect are now being reviewed.
The suspect, described as “Irish” and said to be 16-years-old, “remains in detention and is being questioned in a Gardaí station in the North Western region,” according to the Irish Examiner.
Their report says how “sentries overpowered the youth and detained him” until police arrived, noting that, “Fr. Murphy was provided with first aid at the scene before being taken to hospital where he received further treatment.”
A soldier who had served with Fr. Murphy on a tour of duty in Lebanon responded with shock and words of admiration for the Padre.
Brendan Cruise said on X:
I was fortunate enough to have served in Lebanon with Fr Paul Murphy who was the battalion padre. He was absolutely brilliant on the tour, he had time for everyone & a smile for all. Wishing him a full recovery.
Simon Harris, the Taoiseach [Irish Prime Minister] said his “thoughts are with the victim” and thanked the Defence Forces and Gardaí for their action and response in a post on X.
Irish users of the social media platform responded angrily, with many holding Harris and the government responsible.
One user replied to Harris saying, “You’ve brought terror back to this Island, after we fought 800 years to live in peace.”
Others noted the Godlessness of the modern Irish state, remarking the deliberate omission of the fact that the victim is a Catholic priest and that no prayers were being offered by the leader of the Catholic nation.
“Very telling you won’t say a Catholic priest was attacked and you offer no prayers for him.”
Attacks on Catholics and their places of worship have been on the rise in Ireland. A spate of anti-Catholic crime in County Donegal over the summer saw many churches burgled, with damage and attempted arson occuring. One church in Lifford had been targeted three times in six weeks.
The Protestant Church of Ireland has also been targeted, with historic and “irreplaceable” mummies damaged following a break-in and attempted arson in St Michan’s Church, Dublin in June.
The vandalism, according to Dublin Live, is believed to have ruined the mummified remains of five Catholics “including an 800-year-old artifact known as ‘The Crusader.'” A Romanian national was found guilty of the damage.
Yet the attacks have also been linked to hate speech – not online – but made by Irish politicians themselves.
In April, reporting on arson attacks on two County Meath churches, Catholic Arena alleged:
Quote:Hate speech by politicians against Catholics has been a major factor in the recent rise in crime against Catholic.
The attempts to burn down these two churches came shortly after an Irish Member of Parliament (TD) was “mocked for her Catholic faith” by her fellow members during a speech given in the Parliament itself, known as the Dáil.
Gript reported on March 23 how Deputy Carol Nolan’s warning that mass migration policies of the Irish government had created chaos in the country.
“We have an immigration system and an immigrant homeless situation that are nothing short of spiralling social sabotage,” Nolan said.
“This Government has no answers for one simple reason, it is because it does not ask the right questions and it does not listen.”
Nolan was reportedly “sniggered at” at by members she referred to as “communists,” who she says derided her and other members for their Christian faith – whilst refusing to acknowledge the chaos their open borders policies were causing.
“I could hear the comments and the muttering – some TDs were definitely mocking our Catholic faith”
Nolan claimed the anti-Catholic rhetoric emerged over Ireland’s referendum on abortion, when she says was targeted for being pro-life. She explained:
Quote:Unfortunately, I had this trouble before the abortion referendum, and when I called for a ‘No’ vote [to legalising abortion]…so it’s not the first time I have borne the brunt of that type of sentiment.
Nolan said:
Quote:I would get a lot of it, and I got a lot of it because it was evident I was pro-life and because of my beliefs.
She remained defiant in the face of this “bullying,” saying Parliament refused to reflect a majority of Irish people whose lives and livelihoods in tourism have been blighted by uncontrolled mass migration.
“In advance of Holy Week, we will take no lectures from the hard left and the looney left who will not face the people.”
The comments in the Irish Parliament came weeks after a priest’s house was set ablaze “intentionally” in Kildare, destroying outbuildings at St Brigid’s Cathedral.
The attacks on the Catholic faith and on Christianity in Ireland have now seemingly escalated to the attempted murder of a priest. Prayers for Ireland, and for the restoration of its leadership to Christ are urgently needed.

Canadian government warns country to prepare for new virus far worse than COVID
Dailymail.Com [adapted] | 14 August 2024
The Canadian government has issued advice warning citizens to prepare for a hypothetical new virus that could lead to food and fuel disruptions.
The Centre for Occupational Health and Safety rolled out a second edition of their Flu and Infectious Disease Outbreaks Business Continuity Plan Handbook.
The guide provides information for employers on what to prepare for in the face of another pandemic.
In the new edition, released in June, they focus on a 'hypothetical virus', that they warn could trigger further disruption that Covid-19.
It states that 'based on trends from past pandemic flu, there may be a higher average number of illness and deaths in age groups different than what we typically see during annual flu seasons.'
The guide also warns employers must be ready for a scenario like an disease outbreak or a pandemic which forces people to stay home.
It says: 'If there is a pandemic, how many people will be off work? It is impossible to determine with certainty.
'Estimates vary because no one will know for sure how ill the new virus will make people, how fast it will spread, or how many people will not go to work, until it happens.'
A future pandemic 'will come in two or three waves about three to nine months separating each outbreak', it adds.
The hypothetical virus could also last in these cycles for as much as two years, the report warns.
It adds that people should brace for disruptions like reduced labor, supply chain issues and shifts in consumer demand.
Among those disruptions include telecommunications, banking, water, gasoline, medicine and food.
It comes after American Dr Anthony Fauci recommended that people start wearing masks again due to a rise in Covid cases.
The number of infections is increasing as part of another summer surge - even though hospitalizations and deaths from the virus remain at historic lows.
The 83-year-old told people with comorbidities and seniors 'you should be wearing a mask' in crowded places.
He also revealed he had contracted Covid about two weeks ago. It was his third Covid infection and he has been vaccinated and boosted a total of six times.
World Health Organization officials warn that if the virus continues to spread, it could lead to new mutations and severe infections that evade vaccine protection and therapeutics.
Deaths have been generally on the rise since May, but began declining the week ending July 20. They currently hover at around 500 per week, compared to more than 25,000 in the fall of 2020.
Dr Fauci's face mask guidelines have long been criticized as people claimed they did not work to prevent the spread of Covid.

Omnis potestas a Deo
Contribution to the e-book “Globalisti Assassini” published by Visione editore
Taken from here.
Having recourse to assassination as a tool to eliminate a political opponent, awakens in us a sense of rebellion that comes from the deepest fibers of our being, from that sense of violated justice that is the same that we feel in the face of the impunity of the guilty, the violent arrogance of his crimes. Unicuique suum tribuere: giving each what is due to him sums up the foundation of the natural Law that we see betrayed both by the failure to punish the guilty and by the persecution of the innocent and the weak. In this violation we see the abdication of the authority that in every human society is precisely responsible for administering Justice in the name of Christ, Lord and Universal Judge.
But what justice can there be, where the authority itself not only does not punish the wicked and does not reward the good, but where it is actually the first to encourage evil and impede good? The origin of this inversion is the necessary consequence of a much worse reversal of the social order, namely the rejection of Christ as God, King, and Lord. It is the Revolution, that is, the institutionalization of Lucifer’s Non serviam, and along with it the reversal of the concept of Good and Evil.
The child who is killed in the womb, the woman who is raped, the sick person abandoned to die by the doctor, the shopkeeper who is robbed, the elderly person who is beaten, the citizen who is oppressed by unfair taxes, the student who is corrupted by the teacher – these are all faces of a general injustice that cries out for vengeance in the sight of God precisely because it is in God that each of us finds the supreme Guarantor of Justice. This request for vengeance – that is, for the restoration of violated Justice – is even stronger when the evil that we see committed in broad daylight is not only not punished, but is even encouraged; while those who resist, those who do not accept subversion, those who continue to believe that there are immutable and eternal principles to which to adhere, are persecuted by the authorities. The teacher who is fired for not wanting to refer to a male student with a feminine pronoun, the student who is expelled for having stated in class that there are only two sexes, the doctor who is laid off for having refused to administer a lethal serum to a patient, the scientist who is removed for not having endorsed the climate fraud, the priest who is removed from his parish for having condemned the doctrinal and moral deviations accepted today – these are the first victims of the Revolution. There is no room for these people in the overturned society, just as there was no room for criminals and the wicked in the society ordered under the Law of the Gospel.
When we try to make sense of what is happening around us today, we must have the courage to recognize the betrayal of human authority with respect to the supreme Authority of God. Without this betrayal, nothing that is happening would even be imaginable. And so it is from the restoration of a healthy authority that conforms to the will of God that we must begin to rebuild society.
The failed assassination attempt on President Donald J. Trump is the latest in a long series of similar episodes through which corrupt governments eliminate people they consider an obstacle to the pursuit of their plans: whether it is a former President of the United States, a Prime Minister or a former “inconvenient” collaborator, nothing changes. Not to mention the “suicides” and fatal accidents of those who, with their testimony, could have convicted leading figures of the deep state or the globalist lobby.
The cowardice of the murder committed by a hitman makes clear the injustice of an action against an “enemy” with whom one does not accept a fair confrontation, from which he would emerge victorious. The modus operandi is the one that every tyranny has used against its opponents: ridicule (the opponent is a buffoon not to be taken seriously), pathologization (he is a madman who should be locked up in a mental hospital), criminalization (he should be put in jail) and moral or physical elimination (he must not exist: he is a non-person without rights). Anyone who undermines the System – especially if he has an authority that comes from the evident reasonableness of his arguments that risks opening the eyes of the masses – is made the object of this progressive ostracization precisely because he reveals the corruption of power and the intolerant lie that fuels it. Donald Trump must therefore be “put in a bullseye” – according to the expression used by Joe Biden five days before the attack – and when he is hit or injured, the moral responsibility does not lie with the person who created the climate of violence or with the hitman, but with the victim who “asked for it,” and who actually exploits the aggression suffered to his own advantage.
In the past years, other political leaders – and not only them – have been subjected to this instrumental and specious criminalization: think of Gabriel García Moreno, Enrico Mattei, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Aldo Moro, Bettino Craxi, Silvio Berlusconi, Jair Bolsonaro, Robert Fico, Viktor Orbán and many others. What do they have in common? Their standing against the system that would have them be mere executors of orders from a subversive power that controls everything. Media attacks, summary trials, and the threat of retaliation have become the norm, a norm that seems to want to extend to murder, in the name of the survival of tyranny and the preservation of the power of the Lodges that guide it.
Evil cannot tolerate Good, just as lies cannot tolerate Truth, just as darkness cannot tolerate Light. Yet it pretends that Good is conciliatory and inclusive, that Truth welcomes error, that Light allows itself to be obscured. Truth is accused of intolerance, Justice is accused of cruelty, and honesty and rectitude are mocked and discredited. And this contradiction – which overturns the primacy of what is True and Good and Just in favor of what is false, evil, and unjust – is possible only where the masses have been convinced that they have no intangible principle for which to fight and die. This ensnared society has come to believe that a mother can kill her child in the womb, that the elderly and the sick can be killed by the doctor, that the pervert and the pedophile can be left free to corrupt and violate without this arousing the indignation and reaction of anyone.
In the name of a false and hypocritical peace, force is exercised by the bad guys against the good guys, but it becomes intolerable oppression when the good guys invoke force to render the bad guys harmless. Thus the father of a family who shoots the thief who breaks into his house at night ends up in prison, while the rapist and the criminal are left free to continue to cause harm. Whoever defends the borders of their Homeland is a dangerous nationalist, while whoever invades it to subjugate or devastate it must be invited and financed. Whoever cures the sick must be laid off, whoever exterminates the population with pseudo-vaccines is awarded honors. Whoever does not submit to gene serums must be punished and deprived of work, while whoever submits by compromising their own and others’ health must be rewarded. Whoever denounces the global coup d’état is accused of conspiracy, and whoever organizes the conspiracy continues to demolish their own country with impunity. It is the world turned upside down. It is the upside-down, perverted, and rebellious world that the Revolution wants. It is the kingdom of the Antichrist, the father of lies, the murderer from the beginning.
That the world is subject to Satan, who is its prince, is part of the mystery of iniquity that sees the Civitas Dei opposed to the civitas diaboli. But until now, as a sign of contradiction, the Catholic Church has always strenuously and courageously fought the prince of this world and his seductions. For sixty years now, however, the Citadel has been eclipsed by the false church, by that deep church that is to the ecclesial body what the deep state is to the State: a cancer that slowly kills the institution from within, that spreads to all its members, that destroys its organs. This disintegrating action has brought Her worst enemies to the top of the Hierarchy, reaching the point of usurping the Throne of Peter and abusing the sacred authority of the Vicar of Christ to contradict the teaching of Christ himself. Thus, just as in the order desired by God the Lordship of Jesus Christ unites in itself the temporal and spiritual power, so in the infernal chaos of Satan the tyranny of the Antichrist will have to unite in itself the deep state and the deep church, so as to be able to exercise absolute control over humanity. A false prophet, at the head of a false humanitarian and philanthropic church, will support the synarchy of the New World Order, just as in the societas christiana the Pope ratified the authority of the Catholic Sovereigns.
Today that totalitarian and dystopian project has almost come to full completion. The emissaries of the World Economic Forum and other supranational bodies of Masonic origin are ostentatiously at the head of all Western governments and can avail themselves of the collaboration of the Bergoglian church, which has made all its demands its own. How could one think that the voice of those who for years have been denouncing this coup and the betrayal of the Catholic Hierarchy would be spared from the ferocious ostracism that strikes anyone who does not support the plans of the inimica vis? It was only a matter of time. And so we see the authority of the Church – usurped to be used against the Church – moving against an Archbishop and former Apostolic Nuncio, accusing him of nothing less than schism for having denounced the heresies and deviations of the Argentine Jesuit and for having rejected the Second Vatican Council that paved the way for him. A show trial no less grotesque than those that in the civil sphere have been brought against those political leaders who have similarly denounced the looming threat of globalism.
The lie on which the action of the deep state and the deep church is based is the same: to make people believe that authority, once the umbilical cord that binds it to the sovereign Authority of Christ has been cut, can maintain its legitimacy by virtue of an asserted self-referentiality that absolutizes earthly authority, leading it inexorably to tyranny. Omnis potestas a Deo, Sacred Scripture teaches us (Rom 13:1). This means that if the power of those who govern on earth – both in temporal and spiritual matters – does not exercise its authority not only in the name of God but also in accordance with His will, then it has no legitimacy. And this is, ultimately, the protection against any tyranny that Our Lord wanted to give to earthly institutions, so that they do not degenerate into totalitarianism.
Obedire oportet Deo magis quam hominibus. We must obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29). Whoever commands and whoever obeys – in the State just as in the Church – must have in Christ the King and High Priest as the foundation of their authority and their obedience. Outside of Christ, everything is necessarily chaos and disorder, and as such has no legitimacy: neither the arrogance of those who usurp His Scepter, nor the rebellion of those who believe themselves exempt from His Universal Lordship.
The world is preparing for a great awakening, an unveiling (in the etymological sense of the term “apocalypse”) of the lie that has eclipsed the Truth for too long. When what we have had before our eyes appears to us for what it really is and not for how it is presented to us, everything will acquire meaning, also and above all in an eschatological key. It will not be reality that changes, but our understanding of it. Only Our Lord, Lux mundi, can illuminate the darkness of this dark night both for those He has placed in authority and for those who are hierarchically subject to it.

Profer lumen cæcis
Homily in the Assumption of Mary Most Holy into Heaven
Taken from here.
The Great Pontiff Pius XII proclaimed the dogma of the Assumption into heaven of Mary Most Holy on November 1, 1950, with the Bull Munificentissimus Deus:
Quote:«After we have poured forth prayers of supplication again and again to God, and have invoked the light of the Spirit of Truth, for the glory of Almighty God who has lavished his special affection upon the Virgin Mary, for the honor of her Son, the immortal King of the Ages and the Victor over sin and death, for the increase of the glory of that same august Mother, and for the joy and exultation of the entire Church; by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, and by our own authority, we pronounce, declare, and define it to be a divinely revealed dogma: that the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory. »
These solemn words constitute the last dogma defined by the Holy Church, before the painful eclipse that has now obscured the Bride of the Lamb for more than sixty years. The end of that glorious Pontificate marked the beginning of a Calvary that today is approaching its conclusion. The passio Ecclesiæ, the passion of the Mystical Body, modeled on the Passion and Death of its Divine Head, is a mystery that we have always believed concerned the individual members of the Church – according to the words of the Apostle, in my turn I complete in my flesh what is still lacking in the afflictions of Christ for his body, which is the Church (Col 1:24) – but that the events we are now witnessing show us in its social and ecclesial dimension. It is the entire Mystical Body that must suffer, die, and rise again, in order to triumph together with the immortal King of the ages.
The Virgin Mary is mystically associated with the Passion of Her Divine Son: as the New Eve, she suffered and endured the pains of Christ, the New Adam, deserving the title of Co-Redemptrix. Her glorious Assumption into heaven in body and soul is for us a reason for joy and consolation, not only for this privilege that the Lord wanted to reserve – among other privileges – for his own Mother; but also because She, Mother and Queen of the Church, is a figure of that heavenly Jerusalem, beata pacis visio, which is the Church itself. In Her we see the will of God accomplished, in the humility and obedience by which Jesus Christ bore witness to the Eternal Father, and that the Church makes her own in the profession of the One Faith and in the bond of Charity.
The Virgin of the Assumption merited not to know the corruption of the body, just as Our Lord did not know it. The Eastern Tradition, since the first centuries, shows us an uninterrupted faith in this truth: the depictions of the dormitio Virginis show us the Blessed Mother on her deathbed, surrounded by the Apostles, while Her soul – a young soul like that of a child – is welcomed into the bosom of the Holy Trinity.
But if the Virgin Mary is a figure of the Church; if She is its Mother to the point of having given birth to us into Grace by the pains that She mystically suffered together with the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ; if She is her Mistress and Queen by grace, for having redeemed us by virtue of the merits of the Co-Redemption, we can hope that the Church herself will see herself in some way assumed into heaven, as in the vision of Saint John: I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband (Rev 21:2). And who is she, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband, if not the Mater Ecclesiae, the Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God and our Mother? It is She, in the power of Her most holy humility and immaculate purity, who sums up in Herself the vision of the beloved Apostle. She is the one who rises like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army in battle array (Song of Songs 6:10). She is the dwelling place of God among men (Rev 21:3): the bride of the Lamb (Rev 21:9), whose splendor is like that of a very precious gem, like a crystalline jasper stone (Rev 21:11); she has no need of the light of the sun, nor of the light of the moon, because the glory of God illuminates her and her lamp is the Lamb (Rev 21:23).
The Holy Church, like her Queen, is a holy city that gathers its children from every part of the world and from every age: There will in no way enter into her anything impure, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life (Rev 21:27). Whoever is victorious will inherit these goods; I will be his God and he will be my son. But the cowards and the unbelievers, the vile and murderers, the immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone. This is the second death (Rev 21:7-8).
The vision of Patmos shows us the Church triumphant, which in this is similar to the Virgin Mary. But on this earth the Church – which is militant as the conqueror of all heresies – does not yet know eternal glory and must face the terrible trials that await her not only during her pilgrimage through the centuries, but also and above all in the end times, when the persecution of the Antichrist will rage against her in the illusion of conquering her. And while the Church appears mocked, humiliated and struck to death – just as the Savior was mocked, tortured, and killed – her Ministers flee, hide, and deny knowing the Galilean. Alone, together with Saint John, the Sorrowful Virgin remains at the foot of the Cross, to complete in her own most pure flesh what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ. And in this silent testimony, in which the pain of the soul incomparably surpasses physical suffering, Mary Most Holy is an example to those who, in these terrible moments of crisis and apostasy, remain at the foot of the cross from which the Holy Church hangs, dying. They too – and we with them – suffer in seeing the Mystical Body crucified, following in the footsteps of its Head. And we must all take as our guide the Mother of God, our model, the star that shows us the painful way of the Cross as the only path to the glory of the beatific vision.
Let us not be surprised if the enemies of Christ also seek to obscure the Virgin Mary: they fear her more than the Lord, because they know that it is to Her, and to no other creature, that Providence has entrusted the Church and every baptized person – Auxilium Christianorum – and that it will be She who will destroy the Synagogue of Satan.
Let us pray, dear brothers, that this passio Ecclesiæ may open the eyes of the lukewarm who are still sluggish in their spiritual drowsiness. Let us ask the Virgin of the Assumption to restore sight to the blind – profer lumen cæcis, we sing in the ancient hymn Ave Maris Stella – so that they may see and understand that the one true Church of Christ cannot have peace with the world, because it does not belong to her and is indeed her enemy. So that they may see and understand that the cowards and the unbelievers, the vile and the murderers, the immoral, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars (Rev 21:7) cannot take part in the banquet of the Lamb unless they convert, repent, and repair the evil they have committed. And if the deception of the Enemy has forged a counterfeit of this unique Ark of salvation, our response cannot be to flee or hide, but rather to remain close to the dying Lord and to His Most Holy Mother, like Saint John.
We confidently await the blessed day when the Lord will return in glory to recapitulate all things in Himself, to definitively restore His Universal Lordship. He will repeat to the Church the words He addressed to the Most Holy Mary: Arise, my Beloved, my Beautiful One, and come away! O my dove, who art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the ravine, show me your face, let me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet, your face is lovely (Song of Songs 2:13-14).
It will be then that we will see the Immaculate Virgin, the Woman clothed with the sun and with the moon under Her feet, crowned with twelve stars (Rev 12:1) descend from heaven like the heavenly Jerusalem, to trample with Her virginal heel the head of the ancient Serpent (Gen 3:15). Her humility will conquer the rebellious pride of Satan; Her purity will crush the impure spirit; Her faithfulness will conquer betrayal and apostasy. And so may it be.

The Most Pressing Need in the World Today: Restoring the Belief in Immutable Catholic Truth
![[Image: b91965fca2fe5021753939983c8e2b1d_L.jpg]](https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/media/k2/items/cache/b91965fca2fe5021753939983c8e2b1d_L.jpg)
By: Robert Morrison, Columnist [slightly adapted, red font emphasis mine] | August 11, 2024
“Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed Him: If you continue in My word, you shall be My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)
Commenting on this passage from the Gospel of St. John, St Augustine emphasized the unchanging, or immutable, nature of truth:
Quote:“The truth is unchangeable; it is the bread of the soul, refreshing others, without diminution to itself; changing him who eats into itself, itself not changed. This truth is the Word of God, which put on flesh for our sakes, and lay hid; not meaning to bury itself, but only to defer its manifestation, till its suffering in the body, for the ransoming of the body of sin, had taken place.” (from St. Thomas Aquinas, Catena Aurea)
Actual truth cannot change because the Word of God cannot change. St. Paul expressed the same reality in his letter to the Hebrews:
“Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today; and the same for ever. Be not led away with various and strange doctrines.” (Hebrews 13:8-9)
St. Paul warned us against being “led away with various and strange doctrines” because he recognized that this was a genuine threat to our Faith: there are those who will try to lead us away from God’s immutable truth. St. Paul went so far as to insist that one must cling to immutable truth even if it appears that reliable authority figures tell us that the truth must change:
Quote:“I wonder that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another gospel. Which is not another, only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema. As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.” (Galatians 1:6-9)
This is such a vital concept that St. Paul repeated it so as to avoid any misunderstanding. Nobody, not even St. Paul himself or an angel from heaven, can change the truth that the Apostles taught.
Of course it is the case that expressions of the Catholic Faith have developed in the centuries since St. Paul warned us against accepting changes to the Faith. As we know, the Church has been guided by the Holy Ghost to perfect the expressions of certain truths, often to clarify and expand upon the truths that Our Lord entrusted to His disciples for the sake of combatting heresies. In each instance, though, St. Paul and everyone else who understood Catholic truth would recognize that the legitimate development of particular expressions of the Faith always elaborate upon and clarify, rather than contradict, the truths they had taught.
Pope Pius XII was the last pope to firmly warn against the errors that threatened to lead Catholics to believe that the Faith could change to become something that contradicted what it had always been. His 1950 encyclical “Concerning Some False Opinions Threatening to Undermine the Foundations of Catholic Doctrine,” Humani Generis, he denounced the errors that had already started to find their way into Catholic books and seminaries:
Quote:“Such fictitious tenets of evolution which repudiate all that is absolute, firm and immutable, have paved the way for the new erroneous philosophy which, rivaling idealism, immanentism and pragmatism, has assumed the name of existentialism, since it concerns itself only with existence of individual things and neglects all consideration of their immutable essences. There is also a certain historicism, which attributing value only to the events of man's life, overthrows the foundation of all truth and absolute law, both on the level of philosophical speculations and especially to Christian dogmas.”
This last error — historicism — posits that truths of the Faith can evolve over time depending upon historical circumstances, such that what St. Paul considered to be immutable during his time may be different now because our world has changed. It should be clear that St. Paul would have found such an assertion to be preposterous, dangerous, and obviously contradicted by the plain terms of his warning.
Before considering two post-Vatican II manifestations of historicism below, it is worthwhile to see the way in which the error spread prior to the Council despite Pius XII’s warning in Humani Generis that historicism “overthrows the foundation of all truth and absolute law.” The following excerpt from the August 1993 SiSiNoNo explains so much about the crisis in the Catholic Church:
Quote:“Confirmation of this treachery comes to us today, from the very lips of those representing this New Theology. A mouthpiece of theirs is the journal Communio and in an article of November-December, 1990, the Jesuit Fr. Peter Henrici (born 1928) tells us that: . . . Behind that facade of official studies, modernist texts and tracts were secretly circulated to the most brilliant and promising seminarians. Those same modernist concepts, secretly passed around, would later reappear as the New Theology. Those who showed interest and promise in theology, would be given the modernist Fr. Henri de Lubac's book: The Supernatural - the most forbidden of forbidden books! Then they would receive another of his books, Corpus Mysticum. This was done to inculcate them with the principle that identical theological terms could have different meanings with the passage of time or when looked at in another context. Thus we say goodbye to unchanging divine and apostolic Tradition! Goodbye to the homogenous development of dogma! Goodbye to unchangeable truths!”
Yes, thanks to the insidious work of those who sought to spread what Pius XII had forbidden, the future priests were poisoned with the belief that “identical theological terms could have different meanings with the passage of time or when looked at in another context.” Although such a pernicious error can only have been devised by the father of lies, many well-meaning clerics allowed the foundations of their Faith to be overthrown by historicism. Two examples (chosen from among many) should suffice to demonstrate the extent of damage that has resulted from this catastrophe:
Vatican II and Religious Liberty.
It is beyond serious dispute that Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae said something fundamentally different from what the pre-Vatican II popes taught. As discussed in a previous article, Cardinal Ratzinger (the future Benedict XVI) likened Dignitatis Humanae and other Council documents to a “countersyllabus,” meaning that the Council’s key documents essentially promoted the errors that Pope Pius IX had condemned in his Syllabus of Errors, which accompanied the pope’s 1864 encyclical, Quanta Cura. In his They Have Uncrowned Him, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre quoted Fr. Yves Congar’s explanation for how the architects of the Council’s documents justified their deviation from pre-Conciliar teaching by suggesting that the historical circumstances had evolved:
Quote:“Father John Courtney Murray, who belonged to the intellectual and religious elite, has shown that, materially saying quite the opposite from the Syllabus — this latter is from 1864 and it is, as Roger Aubert has proven, conditioned by precise historical circumstances — the Declaration [Dignitatis Humanae] was the consequence of the battle by which, in the face of Jacobism and the totalitarianisms, the Popes more and more strongly led the fight for the dignity of the liberty of the human person made to the image of God.” (p. 185)
So, Congar and Murray would argue, it might have been true for the popes to condemn religious liberty in their time, but times have changed. Archbishop Lefebvre rejected this historicist attempt to justify the rejection of what the Church had previously taught:
Quote:“On the contrary, we have seen that Roger Aubert and John Courtney Murray are themselves prisoners of the historicist prejudice which makes them erroneously relativize the doctrine of the Popes of the nineteenth century! In reality, the Popes have condemned religious liberty in itself, as a freedom that is absurd, ungodly, and leading the peoples to religious indifference. This condemnation remains, and, with the authority of the constant ordinary magisterium of the Church (if not of the extraordinary magisterium, with Quanta Cura), it weighs on the conciliar declaration.” (pp. 185-196)
Today we see the absolute absurdity of believing that the pre-Vatican II popes were speaking only for unique historical situations. Vatican II’s purported embrace of the freedom to openly practice all religions may not have had a direct practical effect in non-Catholic nations, but it erroneously signaled two things to the world. It falsely indicated that the Church no longer condemned the proposition that “liberty of conscience and worship is each man’s personal right,” which Quanta Cura had aptly described as the “liberty of perdition.” It also suggested that the Church had embraced the destructive historicism that Pius XII had condemned.
Bishop of Rome Document and Vatican I.
Thanks in large part to the tragic reality that historicism has destroyed the concept of immutable truth in the minds of many (perhaps most) clerics and theologians, the authors of the new Bishop of Rome document did not need to even attempt to mask their contempt for immutable Catholic truth. While we could cite numerous examples from the document, arguably the most explicit is in the call to reinterpret Vatican I in the light of the most liberal readings of Vatican II’s documents:
Quote:“Among the proposals expressed by the dialogues, the call for a Catholic ‘re-reception’ or official commentary of Vatican I seems particularly important. Assuming the hermeneutical rule that the dogmas of Vatican I must be read in the light of Vatican II, especially its teaching on the People of God (LG, chapter II) and collegiality (LG 22–23), some dialogues reflect that Vatican II did not explicitly interpret Vatican I but, while incorporating its teaching, complemented it (LG, chapter III, 18).”
Footnote 13 cited Cardinal Ratzinger on the need to reinterpret Vatican I:
“Joseph Ratzinger: ‘Just as within Holy Scripture there is the phenomenon of relecture [...], so likewise the individual dogmas and pronouncements of the Councils are not to be understood as isolated, but rather in the process of dogmatic–historical relecture within this unity of the history of faith. [...] That this insight is of fundamental significance for the interpretation of Vatican I, is obvious’, (Joseph Ratzinger, Das neue Volk Gottes: Entwürfe zur Ekklesiologie, 2nd ed. [Düsseldorf: Patmos, 1970], 140–141)”
This may surprise some Catholics, but we should recall that Henri de Lubac — who was a key proponent of historicism — had a tremendous influence of the future Benedict XVI. We can get a sense of de Lubac’s profound influence by reading the words of Cardinal Ratzinger’s 1988 forward to de Lubac’s famous book, Catholicism: Christ and the Common Destiny of Man:
Quote:“It is now almost forty years since, in late autumn of 1949, a friend gave me a copy of de Lubac’s book Catholicism. For me, the encounter with this book became an essential milestone on my theological journey. . . It was not only for me that de Lubac’s book marked such a turning point. It fascinated theologians in the fifties everywhere and his fundamental insights became the patrimony of theological reflection. The narrow-minded individualistic Christianity against which he strove is hardly our problem today. Everyone is teaching about the social dimension of dogma.”
Because, according to Cardinal Ratzinger, “everyone” was teaching de Lubac’s ideas in 1988, it should come as little surprise that relatively few Catholic clerics and theologians have any sense of the immutable nature of Catholic truth today.
Of course the most striking illustration of this failure to appreciate the immutable nature of Catholic truth is the ongoing Synod on Synodality — with its listening sessions to discern how to change Catholic teaching — but we can see an even more important example in Benedict XVI’s final address to the clergy of Rome. In it, the follower of de Lubac explained how various historical changes during his lifetime had led to theological changes. One of the most unfortunate comments related to the development of the pernicious teaching on ecumenism, which has effaced the teaching that there is no salvation outside the Church (absent standard exceptions):
Quote:“Finally, ecumenism. I do not want to enter now into these problems, but it was obvious – especially after the ‘passions’ suffered by Christians in the Nazi era – that Christians could find unity, or at least seek unity, yet it was also clear that God alone can bestow unity. And we are still following this path.”
According to Benedict XVI, the Nazi era caused theologians to rethink the teaching that the only path to unity was through a process of non-Catholics accepting immutable Catholic truth. But Pope Pius XII had condemned the key components of today’s ecumenical movement in Humani Generis, from 1950 (which was after the Nazi era). So perhaps it was “obvious” to some theological opportunists that the time was ripe to try to reshape fundamental Catholic teaching, but it was evidently obvious to Pius XII that Catholics had a duty to resist the false ecumenism that dominates Rome today. Unfortunately, we know which side prevailed at the Council.
Why is all of this important today? Historicism has caused the evil against which Pius XII had warned:
Quote:“There is also a certain historicism, which attributing value only to the events of man's life, overthrows the foundation of all truth and absolute law, both on the level of philosophical speculations and especially to Christian dogmas.”
The foundation of all truth and absolute law has been overthrown. Many Catholics rightly applauded Benedict XVI as he responded to the problems in the Church by trying to restore what his predecessors had demolished, but at best he was building on the same bad foundation. His conservative-leaning work masked the fact that the foundation of immutable truth continued to deteriorate.
When we abandon the foundation of immutable truth, we offend God and, in a sense, deserve to lose the helps He wants to give us to overcome the current crisis. Why, in other words, would He intervene to resolve any of our more visible problems if we remain content to live with the damaged foundation that is of itself a rejection of God’s truth? We can even see all that is happening in the Church and world today as a fitting punishment for the collective abandonment of His divine truth.
The edition of SiSiNoNo cited above argued that restoration can only come by going back to the foundation of immutable truth:
Quote:“From what we have just seen, it logically follows that true restoration can only come by traveling along in a reverse direction from the one which led to the rupture or breaking away from the Doctrinal Tradition of the Church: a return to constant and durable philosophy, and therefore to Scholastic Theology, therefore to the Dogmatic tradition of the Church in faithful obedience to the constant directives and teachings of the Magisterium of all the Popes.”
This is not nearly as difficult as it may seem. Unlike the political realm in which our voices and votes count for nothing, in God’s Holy Catholic Church those who tell the truth have the power to build while others are destroying. So long as we act with charity, we never have to fear “offending the authorities” if we insist on immutable Catholic truth and reject the errors contrary to it. And today we have more reason than ever to know that the pre-Vatican II popes were correct when they denounced the Modernist and Liberal errors: we know this because we see firsthand the same damage they said would occur when Catholics abandoned truth and embraced errors.
God is God. You cannot reject the holy and salutary truths He gave us without causing tremendous damage. We need saints, but we cannot have saints without the immutable Catholic Faith. We need a Catholic pope, but there is little hope of a Catholic pope until Catholics want immutable Catholic Faith. We need to overturn the godless schemes to erect a New World Order, but we can do that only with the immutable Catholic Faith God gave us. Hence, the most pressing need in the world today is to restore belief in the immutable Catholic Faith.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Vatican officials deny involvement in rumored Latin Mass crackdown
The papal nuncio to France, Archbishop Celestino Migliore, and Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti have both denied to this correspondent that they are involved in fresh efforts to restrict the Traditional Latin Mass.

Aug 9, 2024
VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews [slightly adapted, not all hyperlinks included]) — Two of the four Vatican officials reported to be aiding efforts to restrict the traditional Mass have denied any such involvement, whilst rumors not always in accord with evidence continue to stoke fears of upcoming restrictions.
The papal nuncio to France, Archbishop Celestino Migliore, and the prefect of the Dicastery for Eastern Churches, Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, have both denied to this correspondent that they are involved in fresh efforts to restrict the traditional Mass.
Both Migliore and Gugerotti had been named in a June report by The Remnant, along with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, as being the three key aides in a move to compile a new document ushering in restrictions on the traditional Mass.
The document is believed to be being written by Archbishop Vittorio Francesco Viola, who serves as the Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments (CDW), and who – according to some reports – is drawing up a text restricting the traditional Mass which he will present to Pope Francis for approval.
But when questioned by this correspondent, Migliore and Gugerotti denied that they were supporting or encouraging Viola in his project. Full details are provided below, but first some background and context is necessary.
Background to rumors
On June 17, the traditional blog Rorate Caeli issued a report suggesting that the Vatican is set to publish new measures restricting the traditional Mass even further than it already is. Rorate wrote that there is an attempt to implement a “stringent, radical, and final solution banning the Traditional Latin Mass.”
Describing their sources as “credible,” Rorate stated that the sources for the information were
Quote:the very same sources that revealed to Rorate that the Vatican had sent out a survey to bishops on Summorum Pontificum (in preparation for what would become Traditionis Custodes), and Rorate was the first source to post this; and the very same sources who first revealed that a document like Traditionis Custodes would come (and Rorate was also the first to reveal it at the time). [Emphasis original]
Rorate’s report was published by one of the site’s editors known as “New Catholic”: this correspondent understands that “New Catholic” has kept information about his sources strictly to himself.
Where would it come from?
No information was given by Rorate as to which body of the Roman Curia would be leading operations in issuing any new document. Were it to affect the former Ecclesia Dei traditional Mass communities, then it would have to also involve the Congregation (now Dicastery) for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (CICLSAL).
However, with Pope Francis having just recently met with, and affirmed the charism of, the two most notable ex-Ecclesia Dei communities offering the traditional Mass – the FSSP and the ICKSP – it is therefore unlikely that restrictions would be ushered in against them via CICLSAL, and would therefore be issued via the CDW.
Indeed when this correspondent questioned the notoriously anti-traditional prefect of CICLSAL – Cardinal João Braz de Aviz – if his dicastery had any document restricting the traditional Mass, his secretary issued a reply July 4, stating:
Quote:We cannot answer your question because the topic is not our responsibility but that of the Dicastery for Divine Worship. [Emphasis original]
Such would correspond with the information reported by The Remnant, which cited “well-informed sources” as stating that the rumored document “would prohibit all priests other than those belonging to approved ex-Ecclesia Dei institutes from offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Vetus Ordo, or old rite as it is commonly called.” This would involved the CDW, rather than CICLSAL.
It appears from these two aspects that the rumored document would originate from the offices of the CDW, and chiefly by the hand of Archbishop Viola.
Disagreement over existence of document
But sources disagree on the existence of the document. Rorate was the first to report that it existed and has maintained that position, with The Remnant following suit in supporting the argument some days later.
“I have been informed by reliable sources that a new Vatican document more restrictive than Traditionis Custodes does indeed exist, is backed by Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and has been presented to Pope Francis,” wrote Diane Montagna for The Remmant.
Well-placed Vatican sources close to Pope Francis questioned by this correspondent could not attest to the existence of the document. They highlighted the confusion emanating from the Vatican about the current state of affairs regarding the future of the traditional Mass, though none of the sources consulted denied that such a document might exist.
Nor has The Pillar been able to confirm existence of the rumored document, despite its record of having talkative and apparently well-placed sources throughout the Vatican and especially in the Secretariat of State – the office led by Cardinal Parolin, who is reportedly a key advocate of measures to restrict the traditional Mass.
Cardinal Arthur Roche – prefect of the CDW – and Parolin have not replied to email questions by this correspondent about the rumored document. Roche has, in the meantime, blocked this correspondent on a social media platform.
A source previously informed LifeSiteNews’ John-Henry Westen that the rumored document was likely to be published on July 16, the third anniversary of Traditionis Custodes, the 2021 motu proprio through which Francis ushered in sweeping restrictions on the traditional Mass. The date swiftly became the international focus of much hype, both in the media and for Catholics outside of the media bubble.
The reports – by Rorate and The Remnant – which attested to the existence of the document did not give any details about such a date. Nothing was issued by the Vatican on July 16, with the month officially being a quieter holiday period for Pope Francis.
Vatican officials deny involvement
While Rorate’s original reports had been sparse in providing details of any fresh restrictions, The Remnant’s report provided names of its alleged proponents and details of its alleged contents.
As noted above, papal nuncio Migliore – who is noted for his stance opposing the traditional Mass in France – was listed as a key supporter, along with the prefect of the Dicastery for Eastern Churches Cardinal Gugerotti and Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Parolin.
After 21 years as a nuncio, Gugerotti returned to the Dicastery for Eastern Church in 2022 as its prefect, having served as an official in the Dicastery for 16 years prior to his diplomatic service. He was raised to the cardinalate last September.

Following The Remnant’s June 25 report, this correspondent contacted both Migliore and Gugerotti on July 19 asking if they would comment on the report and if they were giving “support or assistance or encouragement to an attempt by Archbishop Vittoria Viola, who is preparing a new document on the ‘Latin Mass.’”
Migliore swiftly replied by saying:
Quote:Short question, short answer: these are conjectures, to say the least, fanciful.
Gugerotti’s private secretary replied August 6 with a less direct statement, which nevertheless appeared to distance the cardinal from the rumored document. The reply read:
Quote:Thank you for your kind request, of which His Eminence Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Oriental Churches, has taken careful note. In this regard, I would like to inform you that no information appears on the subject to which you refer.
Parolin has yet to reply to the same question posed to Migliore and Gugerotti.
Denials and confusion
In early 2023, similar rumors abounded that Cardinal de Aviz was set to issue issue a document which would usher in hefty restrictions on the former Ecclesia Dei communities. This correspondent managed to meet with de Aviz on April 5 last year, and the cardinal firmly denied that his dicastery was going to issue any such document and that he was not aware of any such document.
READ: EXCLUSIVE: Vatican dicastery denies involvement with rumored document crushing traditional seminaries
The rumored text never emerged, though the strong body of evidence from multiple sources speaking to multiple news outlets and journalists indicated that the document did indeed exist, despite Cdl. de Aviz’s denial. This correspondent’s own Vatican sources also attested to the fact that the document did exist, with the sources adding that the only question was whether it might be published or not.
With the official denials of Migliore and Gugerotti about their involvement in the rumored 2024 document, in the face of reports which named them as specifically involved, the confusion over the entire case appears to grow.
The Remnant places faith in its sources which name the pair amongst the three key supporters of Archbishop Viola; should a document soon emerge and Migliore and Gugerotti be found to have been supporting it, then they would have lied on record to a journalist.
In the meantime, Argentine Catholic blog Caminante Wanderer (CW) published a July 22 report (translated and republished by Rorate) which attested that Francis had actually received a copy of the rumored document but had not signed it. CW suggested that this was partly due to Francis not being as devoted to attacking the Latin Mass as Abp. Viola is – as highlighted already – but partly due to the outpouring of petitions and vocal calls defending the Mass made in recent weeks.
However, in an apparent discrepancy with official details, CW stated that Cardinal Roche had fallen out of favor with Francis – an aspect which sources for multiple outlets do confirm – and that he had not been received in papal audience since February 2022.
Official records of the Pope’s audiences show that Roche was received by Francis in June 2022 with the leadership of the CDW. Roche was then received again in January 2023, in February 2023, and (with the CDW leadership) in September 2023.
Either the Holy See’s records are not accurate or the sources for that aspect of CW’s report were not informed correctly.
Whatever the case, it serves to highlight the immense confusion and lack of clarity surrounding the entire affair, with numerous Catholics concerned over the future of the traditional Mass. With denials, contradictory evidence and rumors circulating, the truth of the affair appears elusive in many respects.
