“Reform, when applied to others without ones’ own self, becomes an arrogant word and concept. And I say also to thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.[1]
Who “RE-FORMS” what Jesus NOW builds? One might restore. One might reform oneself or reform what has become deformed, but how does one reform Jesus’ Church?
Does one think it a light thing to speak of “reforming” what Christ BUILDS? He didn’t say we would build our Church; He said HE would build HIS Church. We must have Jesus in us to build because it is really Jesus who does the work. Christianity without mysticism is applied institutional arrogance and demonic in essence. That is harsh, because the reality is harsh. You and I and all of us together are insufficient without Christ to do anything;
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.[2]
Antichrist Satan will build a worldly cooperative “reform” – as Jesus and Scriptures said so it comes true. Jesus words are as sharp as a two-edged sword. The sword is supposed to divide us from the world, from its pleasures, from its delusions and from its views. When passages hard to read appear, they must be read and practiced because salvation is no game, and perfection is the stated goal[3], and we must run the race as Saint Paul ran, complete with being mocked, hated, and stoned.
In our time it is Prima Facie – on the face of it as to what happened in the 1054 schism. Judge a tree by its fruit. Most Romans no longer fast and pray as they once did. That is a schism with eternity in the Spirit of Christ (but there is a remnant that do). Many western monastics no longer go about in poor robes as they once did (but there is a remnant that do). The western liturgy, the work of the people, has fundamentally changed since Vatican II as have customs. Most of the western “educated bishops” and “Vatican Science Council” no longer believe in the literal truth of Holy Scripture! For centuries, having taken for themselves concordats with the Harlot nations, and spending their considerable substance on the cream of European worldly society, the western Church has fed the piggish passions with the pods of bought indulgences.
Like me beloved Catholics, we are blind, and naked and empty! The intellectual path has an end. Let us repent. Let us enter the narrow gate of continual prayer, fasting, scriptural reading, charitable works, study of the fathers, and self-denial.
Our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters have gone on a temporal prodigal journey to the world. All of the signs are there, and as this schism in TIME grows, our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters make less and less reference to the ancient Church Fathers, whom they have forgotten. The western schism is in time with themselves as well as us.
Like the prodigal who goes on the long journey away from his Father, our beloved western friends have forgotten the servants of the Father’s household. They are “with it” in these times. They have rock star Popes who take in adulation and applause, but this was not the way of the Church in times past, and it does not seem the path of martyrdom or authentic witness.
Scholasticism and intellectualism have crept in too far and are robbing some of the beauty of mystery until the spiritual inheritance, considerable as it was, becomes spent. For in entering worldliness and causality, by entering the temporal and leaving the eternal, one lives by the sword and dies by it.
It is imprudent and unwise to intrude on the eternal. Again, Saint Thomas Aquinas, in his last three weeks of life, experienced true self emptying prayer, and threw away his Summa as straw. But his Roman Catholic contemporaries, rather than following his example, picked up the straw as bedding for the passions and placed it on the high altar beneath the Holy Gospels. In a manger they laid Jesus Christ for there was no room in the Inn. There was no room for theoria[4], for self-emptying, for the Jesus prayer in the Inn of the interior.
The Scriptures are true. They come true before our very eyes. How can one not see it? God has written plainly by His loving hand as He has shepherded us in time, and we have hidden away with our fig leaves. Perhaps this is why recently the Vatican “invested” in a movie about a homosexual rock star. Or recently used monies for the poor to purchase a swank night club. Or recently had police raid Vatican apartments to break up a cocaine fueled homosexual orgy. How bad does this have to get before there is a realization that spiritual starvation is destroying the body Catholic?
The Roman Church is in spiritual starvation. It is being crucified but not in imitation of the Savior but in vanity in of itself. It is on life support and doesn’t even know it because it WAS the Church Christ established. It is in temporal schism. “And the Son” becomes a code for a second thought – Peter first, Christ second – Rome first, the Jerusalem of the purified heart an afterthought. Such a church is institution, not loving bride, for the loving bride follows the bridegroom and does not seek out oil from the streets, the marketplace of the world.
What honest Catholic who has read Saint Pius V or Saint Pius X, would conclude that the current Papacy, or his most recent predecessors, would not be declared anathema by those pious, dutiful Saints? Francis attempted to change the Prayer Our Father, erroneously saying there is an error in the translation in the Greek. He has openly honored idols and appeared and participated in idol worship. He has said one thing and done another repeatedly. He has called for dialogue with every religion except his own traditionalists whom he persecutes without ceasing. In so doing, he has violated the canon law of his own church.
And it is Francis’ own church. He does what he wills, and no one can stop him or oppose him within it. Does he believe in the Real Presence? He doesn’t genuflect. Does he believe in the Resurrection? He conspires to build the one world religion with three booths as the Abrahamic family house in Abu Dhabi. Does he believe in the Virgin Birth? Does he believe Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life? One doubts he believes anything in the Holy Gospels, or anyone except himself. Pope Francis[5], Paul VI[6], and John Paul II[7] with most of the Vatican II host would not have lasted a month in the Church of Saint Pius X, and anyone who has read Pope Pius X deeds with any honesty knows it. There is a schism in time, and the insane persecution of traditionalism in the modern Catholic Church by Popes Francis, John Paul II and Paul VI, proves it. The changing of the liturgy proves it.
Pope Francis is building his church, the church of the spirit of Vatican II, the church for the world and world religions. It is a sad thing to see. It is not Christianity but rather a world religion for the world.

[5] Francis born December 17, 1936 Saint Faustina made the following diary entry: “I have offered this day for priests. I have suffered more today than ever before, both interiorly and exteriorly. I did not know it was possible to suffer so much in one day. I tried to make a Holy Hour, in the course of which my spirit had a taste of the bitterness of the Garden of Gethsemane. I am fighting alone, supported by His arm, against all the difficulties that face me like unassailable walls. But I trust in the power of His name and I fear nothing.”
[6] Fr. Seraphim Rose on Paul VI 1965 UN visit – “Addressing the nations of the world, which find themselves in a state near anarchy and total moral collapse precisely because they have abandoned or will not receive the Christian Gospel, the Pope spoke no word of reproach, made no call to repentance, said nothing of Christian faith, gave no hint of the Christian message of salvation; he utilized rather a skillful combination of Utopian idealism and — simple flattery. Addressing the unrepentant nations of the world — including many who are today persecuting and killing Christians — the Pope could only “praise” and “congratulate” them, offer them “gratitude,” “homage,” and “tribute,” and ended by giving them that which should be offered to God alone: “glory to you.”!
[7] He did a great deal to stop WWIII and God worked wonderful miracles through him. He ascended to the Papacy after the probable murder of John Paul I by the mafia. He is a tarnished Saint for he entered into syncretic insanity at Assisi, persecuted traditionalists, elevated satanic cardinals, and ruled a Church with rampant homosexual predation of children.
