In response to Father Jenkins Video on U Tube

by Joseph Saraceno

Father Jenkins and sspv have for years rejected the sede vacantist position and have told their congregations not to attend our Masses and those of SSPX. As a result limited the opportunity for growth among the faithful. It’s no wonder that traditionalists are wandering back to the Apostate Church.

Nowhere does Father Jenkins and many other Traditional Fathers, for that matter, mention the new heretical Bibles which have their readings and gospels used in the new protestant mass of the Vatican II church. The new Bibles make Jesus just another prophet and the Bible is supposed to be part of the deposit of faith. It’s no wonder we are losing the war when these truths are being ignored.
Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa…….In Christ, Joseph

The Vortex–Church is Crawling with Gays

by Joseph Saraceno

The Vortex is 50 years to late. Pope Paul VI, a homosexual himself, opened the door for (gay mass-es) however this in itself wasn’t the major problem as we have had many immoral popes in the past.
The major problem is that the Vatican Council II contains Formal Public Heresy and Paul VI approved and supported these changes and by doings so occurred the wrath of excommunication. As a result this broke the line of perpetual successors of the papacy and now he  identifies with the “Man of Sin,” spoken of by St. Paul.
Prepare ye for the Coming of the Lord
Grace be with you, in Christ, Joseph

No career, no science, no art, no political or social system can be a god of salvation for any person

by Joseph Saraceno

However much the old habits of self-sufficiency and false ideals may plague a Christian, he is forever called to be a “new man.”

The distinct doctrine and ethics he inherits at his rebirth are everywhere true, and everywhere they are the way to heaven. No career, no science, no art, no political or social system can be a god of salvation for any person. Christ in His teachings, His life, His Church and his sacraments, must be accepted and sincerely lived.
Serving Christ in other men is a essential part of the Christian way of salvation and the surest expression of Christian love.

Unless the mind and will are ready to believe in God’s absolute right to teach and command, there is little likelihood that Lenten fasting and penance with extra prayer will be followed carefully.

The will must be free of self-interested desires and fears in order to bend the mind to assent to an unseen God and to His whole mysterious order of salvation. Prejudices and sinful habits easily find excuses for refusing assent to truth and to self-discipline.
Christian mysteries, accepted and lived, lead men to their supernatural destiny. A Christian’s joy in living his faith, without complaining of the cost, is a sign that he knows what he is about.

Are days numbered for Jerusalem’s Greek Orthodox patriarch?

by Joseph Saraceno

Haaretz reported on Oct. 13 that six dunams of land with dozens of businesses on it around the clock tower in Jaffa as well as 430 dunams in Caesarea, including large parts of the Caesarea National Park and Amphitheater and a Roman amphitheater, were sold to anonymous foreign companies. The land in Caesarea was being leased to Israel, which was not notified of the sale. This followed a deal to sell 500 dunams of land in the Talbiya and Rehavia neighborhoods in West Jerusalem. Previous deals were reached in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, including for land near the Mar Elias Monastery, in Bethlehem.

Martin Luther is such a towering figure in German history that it’s no surprise Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich exploited his name whenever it could.

Most visitors to events in Germany marking this year’s 500th anniversary of the Reformation, however, probably didn’t expect to find an exhibition setting out just how extensively the Nazis used Luther to justify their anti-Semitism and nationalism. MORE
