The
Sacred as Profane —
and the Profanation
of the Sacred
No ... these are not two Silos

Saint Maria Goretti Catholic Church, Mormanno, Italy
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 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-Catholic`Conciliar
Church” of Vatican II; 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)
