As the horror and heartbreak of nuclear war ever looms on the horizon, people cite many reasons for this, e.g. that Zionists horned into our government or that Trump reposed confidence in his enemies who pose as friends. But in the final analysis, the sins of man are bringing the hand of divine justice upon the world.
The New Order of Ingratitude
It is especially the sin of ingratitude that is provoking God’s wrath. Ingratitude was the underlying spirit at Vatican II that set in motion the new order of ingratitude. God gave us his Church in all its perfection, without wrinkle or blemish, but the bishops began casting it aside under the pretense of a reform. They failed to realize that Christ’s Church needs no changes or reforms. It is we who must reform ourselves with penance. This is the humble way, the authentic way (Psalm 50:19).
Instead, the bishops sought to reform God. They cast aside “the way” of Christ and the beautiful jewels of the Traditional Latin Mass and began running after the inventions of their own hands. These innovations were given to them by Satan, which they idolized, while the true gifts of God were trashed. This ingratitude has grieved all of Heaven yet the bishops call this “thanksgiving.”
A Renewal?
Christ himself addressed this very issue in the prophetic message of Bayside given on February 1, 1978:
"I gave you My human life upon earth, and what have you done? You crucify Me again in My own House, My Church! You crucify those who stand in righteousness in My Church and cast them out, as you rebuild My Church. For what? A renewal? And what are you renewing? What is your renewal? What are you renewing? Have you found fault with My way? Shall you create a new way of man? I say unto you, you blaspheme! You have cast yourself out of the light into the darkness, O pastors.”
The New Mass of Vatican II features a preface that the clergy of our time do not live up to. It reads:
“It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God.”
Oh yeah, prove it. Trash your golden calf of Vatican II, expel homosexuals from the Church, dump humanism, modernism, and ecumenism, and return the Church to its former position of honor as it stood before Vatican II. If you can do that, we’ll believe you. This would be the truest thanks you can give, but “do not offer wicked gifts” i.e. fake thanks. (Ecc. 35:14) Empty sacrifice without contrition is not desired by God (Psalms 39:7). “A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.” (Psalms 50:19). What Christ asks of us is suffering, that we imitate him. He wants us to forget self and die to the world that we might live only for him (St. John 12:24,25).
True Sacrifice
The most pleasing sacrifice we can make is to give up our sins and bad habits, which means the clergy should give up their modernist religion and return to tradition. It is because the clergy have cast aside tradition and adopted “traditions of men” that chastisements are coming upon the world. Because of humanism and modernism, the light has all but gone out in the Church, which has deprived the world of spiritual light, fulfilling the prophecy of Our Lady at La Salette: “The Church will be in eclipse, the world will be in dismay.” (1846)
A return to penance and sacrifice would reilluminate the Church, but modernists have sought to turn us against this essential plan for our salvation. To this end they often quote Scripture out of context. For instance, in the new Mass they say, “Sacrifice and oblation you did not desire” (Psalms 39:7) to insinuate that God does not want our sacrifices. How deceitful! We were placed on earth to do sacrifice and penance. The above quote concerned the profane sacrifices offered by the Old Testament Jews who had polluted the sanctuary with their ungrateful inventions.
Psalm 73 concerns their renegation but also points to the Church in our time.
“Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs, And they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top (i.e. they didn’t recognize the holiness of the place). As with axes in a wood of trees, they have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down. They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.” (Psalm 73:3-7)
The Change of the Everlasting Ordinance
The prophet Isaias spoke of the violation of God’s ordinance in the last times and how it would bring the hand of divine justice upon the world.
“The earth is infected by the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore shall a curse devour the earth…. With breaking shall the earth be broken, with crushing shall the earth be crushed, with trembling shall the earth be moved.” (Isaias 24:5,6,19,20)
The holy ordinance indeed was changed at Vatican II. Consider now this prophecy from Christ given to the approved Catholic mystic Marie Julie Jahenny, on November 27, 1902.
“I give you a warning. The disciples who are not of my Gospel are now working hard to remake according to their ideas and under the influence of the enemy of souls, a Mass that contains words that are odious in My Sight! When the fatal hour arrives when the faith of My priests is put to the test, it will be these texts that will be celebrated in this second period. The first period is the one of my priesthood which exists since Me [since his resurrection]. The second is the one of the persecution when the enemies of the Faith and of Holy Religion will impose their formulas in the book of the second celebration [new missal]. Many of My holy priests will refuse this book, sealed with the words of the abyss. Unfortunately, amongst them are those who will accept it. These infamous spirits are those who crucified Me and are awaiting the kingdom of the new messiah [Antichrist].”
During his agony, Christ already saw the ingratitude of those infamous spirits [rebellious priests] who would try to change the Church that he was about to purchase on the Cross. This change has mightily contributed to the general change of our time where we see people entertaining the science fiction fantasy of evolution, prehistoric life, and aliens, while men dress like women and women dress like men. To think that people today sow on parts of the opposite sex and believe they are of the opposite sex. How many clergy have spoken out against this abomination and the general abomination of homosexuality? Very, very few! Instead, Rome today blesses “transgenders” and homosexual offenders. They’re running all over the Vatican and spawning abuse.
Is it any wonder that God is about to punish the world?
