The Synod from Hell

Listen to Michael Matt's and Christopher Ferrara's take on the Synod from Hell

 

GOOD NEWS!

"If this pack of wolves are prepared to round on and savage one of their own, a good fellow bishop like Patrick O'Donoghue, just imagine what they would do to a curate."

A few days ago, Catholics received the good news that Bishop Kieran Conry was now ex-Bishop Kieran Conry. Most genuine Catholics, certainly in the circles I move, are enormously grateful to the Mail on Sunday for ridding us of this scumbag.

“Scumbag!” I hear the pious cry, that is not Christ like language. Oh no? – well Christ denounced a self-serving cartel within the Jewish Church of His own time as a “brood of vipers” and “sons of the Devil”.  By what bizarre yardstick is “sons of the Devil” deemed to be more polite than “scumbags”? "But," the pious will object, "we are all sinners."  I agree, and I am far too sinful a man to want to cast the first stone on account of Conry's fondness for abusing his position of authority to take advantage of vulnerable women.

He is a scumbag because he is a card carrying member of the cabal of Modernists who have had their jackboots on the throat of the English Church for forty years, men who detest Catholicism with a malevolence that is clearly diabolical, loathe the faith of our forefathers, saints and martyrs, yet insist on living parasitically off the body of Christ, to the grave detriment of their own souls and, more importantly, the souls for whom it is their sacred duty to care.

When I became a Catholic sixty years ago there were 3,000,000 souls at Mass every Sunday in England and Wales, and that figure was growing steadily and exponentially year on year, and furthermore, they were 99% orthodox.  Today it is less than 900,000 and this pitiable remnant is declining as I write.  Even this sorry figure is artificially inflated by immigration.  Furthermore, most of them are heretics who could more accurately be described as Roman Protestants, rather than Catholics.

The Church in this country did not wither on the vine, and it certainly was not killed off by the laity (be they saints or sinners).  It was destroyed by this powerful Modernist clique within the episcopacy.  Like Pontius Pilate, they wash their hands and claim that this unprecedented collapse has nothing to do with them; it is all to do with cultural and societal changes outside their control. Oh, is it? Then please explain why those parts of the Church that have adhered to tradition (like the SSPX), or have returned to tradition, are growing and flourishing?  If the Church was a state, these men would have been hung for treason years ago.

These men have sat on their purple-clad butts twiddling their thumbs for the last fifty years while Christ's Body in these islands haemorrhaged away under the collective weight of their Modernist apostasy and their bizarre regime of endless post-Conciliar novelties.

The pious will rightly insist that we must pray for Kieran Conry; indeed we must, we must pray that he repents his unbelief, finds faith and saves his soul.

But while you are busy praying for Conry, spare a wee prayer for the legions of innocent victims of this covin of faithless Modernists of which Conry is but a poster boy.  Pray for the millions of children who have been callously robbed of their faith because these scumbags have ruthlessly prohibited the teaching of the Catholic faith in their schools.  Pray also for those adults and young people, who having been cruelly robbed of the Faith by them, and thus of the Church and her sacraments, are, in direct consequence of their actions, in grave danger of losing their souls.

And when you have finished praying for these innocent children and adults, pray for all the good Catholic teachers whose careers have been blighted or destroyed by the Modernism Enforcement Czars (MECs) employed by our bishops to do their dirty work.  Pray, for example, for the excellent young man whose career was smashed because he mentioned the name of Jesus in a class. This was deemed by the MECs to be offensive to the Muslims in the class; notwithstanding that no Muslim complained and the Koran actually mentions Jesus approvingly many more times than it mentions Muhammad. Then pray for the young teacher disciplined by the MECs because, in answer to a direct question from a pupil, he responded that he believed children faired best with a mother and father at home.  And then spare a prayer for the excellent young teacher who was left destitute with a young wife, a baby and a mortgage to support for the high crime of saying the rosary in the school chapel during Lent.  These are just three examples plucked from the scores of letters we have on file.  If we merely pray for the one scumbag who has fallen from grace, and ignore the suffering of the millions of their innocent victims, we are hypocrites.

The tragic fact is that we have a mere handful of good Catholic bishops in England, men like Mark Davies of Shrewsbury and Philip Egan of Portsmouth, and two or three others, the rest are members of a Modernists mafia, and the current Godfather of this gang, Mr Fix-it himself, is Cardinal Mur-phy-O'Connor.  Men are elevated to sees in this country if they are members of this clique; it’s who you know rather than whether you are a good shep-herd - or indeed even a Catholic - that lands you the plum jobs in the English Church, and has done so for the last forty years.

These men live in pleasant and sometimes opulent homes, have their every need catered for by an army of servants, drive around in chauffeur driven cars, bask in the accolades of the faithful and that of a clueless sycophantic Catholic press, and retire on comfortable pensions - all paid for by the wid-ow’s mite. Yet these faithless scumbags loathe the faith of the widow with an intensity that is clearly diabolical, and they persecute the faithful remnant and any priest brave enough to minister to their spiritual needs.

Catholics would love nothing more than to be able to admire their bishops and revere them as successors of the Apostles; instead, whenever they appear in public, we are reduced to cringing, wondering which teaching of our Church they are going to sell out on this time to appease the secular Zeitgeists.  "Pastoral" is the mealy mouth word these men favour to try to put a positive spin on their serial treachery.

These hypocrites defend the right of the followers of every crack-pot religion under the sun to publicly practise their faith. They endlessly cite Dignitatis Humanae, the controversial Vatican II document on religious freedom - which for these men seems to carry more weight than sacred scripture - to justify this tolerance, yet openly persecute those fellow Catholics who refuse to abandon or have returned to the orthodoxy and orthopraxis of our forefathers, saints and martyrs; as witness the recent orgy of wanton vandalism at Blackfen.  The same prelates, who shamelessly persecute the faithful remnant, regularly give public scandal by handing out Communion like sweeties to rampant pro-abortion politicians, men collectively responsible for the deaths of more innocent human beings than the Nazis.

Most evil of all, these Modernist conspirators, have, with malice and intent, cruelly robbed our children and our grandchildren of their faith by ruthlessly enforcing their corrupt Modernist agenda in the schools built by our forefathers.  Only three percent of children leaving their schools practice the faith, as against eighty percent before this Episcopal faction hijacked our English sees.  Indeed, a child has a better chance of practicing his faith on leaving school if he goes to a state school than to one of their so-called “Catholic” schools.  When Bishop Patrick O'Donaghue of Lancaster (now retired) sought to return his schools to teaching the faith, he was so taken back by the hostility towards him from this brood of vipers, that he exclaimed to a good friend of mine, "I never dreamt for a moment they would be so hostile." - poor, good, naive man.

Conry himself was your typical bog-standard one dimensional Modernist, forever poised, as befits the genre, between a banality and a sell-out; his en-tire reading seemingly consisting of that compendium of Modernist errors, the Pill (aka the Tablet).  The priests of Arundel and Brighton didn't want Kieran Conry in the first place, but he was forced upon them by Mr Fix-it, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor (a man whose vanity cannot resist boasting of his clout in Rome).  One can only imagine the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing going on to ensure that another of his cronies landed a plum job.

Curates in Arundel and Brighton, behind closed doors, would joke about their bishop “having a nice wife!”  Even laymen like Rod Pead, the editor of Christian Order, knew and published this information over a decade ago!  Further, Daphne McLeod, then chairman of Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, wrote to the Apostolic Nuncio over twelve years ago drawing his attention to this issue.  So when men like Cardinal Vincent Nichols and Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor claim they didn't know, they are either utterly incompetent or lying.

There is a certain déjà vu in this story.  When Rodney of the Isles was dis-covered to have a couple of women in tow, Cardinal Winning appeared on primetime television wringing his hands and crying crocodile tears to tell the world how shocked and let down he felt, plus the usual bromides about pray-ing for all concerned.  It eventually transpires that Winning had known all about it for at least four years!  Rodney's housekeeper had sought a meeting with Winning four years earlier and told him what was going on and even presented him with the smoking gun, copies of love letters she had stumbled on when clearing out Rodney's trash.

Genuine Catholics loathe these men because they are imposters, they are not Catholics, they despise our Faith and, clearly, blinded by their own pride, have nothing but contempt for our intellects – as witness their utterly unbelievable protestation of ignorance about the hanky-panky of their ecclesial club chum, Kieran Conry.

To add insult to injury, Conry announced he hadn't done anything illegal (by which he meant that he hadn't sexually molested any children) and added that he didn't believe he was a bad bishop.  That is a measure of how low this gang has dragged the Church: the measure now of a good bishop seemingly is someone who hasn't raped little girls or sodomised young boys!

Watch this space; there is no doubt that Conry's chums in the episcopacy, once the dust has settled, will find him, if he wants, a nice little job some-where out of the limelight, comfortably remunerated, and paid for by the widow's mite whose faith they never cease to despise and betray at every turn - just as they did for Eamon Casey.

Thank God, at last the laity is beginning at last to wake up to the machina-tions of this brood of vipers.  There are also hundreds of priests, if not thousands, who agree with us, but they will not publicly speak out for fear of reprisals at the hand of this clique, which has the power to ruin their careers and is vicious enough to not hesitate to do so.  If this pack of wolves is prepared to turn on one of their own and savage a good fellow bishop like Patrick O'Donoghue, just imagine what they would do to a curate.

CALL TO ACTION 1 Write to the Editor of the Mail on Sunday and thank him for helping bring about the downfall of one more faithless, post-Conciliar, Modernist hypocrite. George Greig, Mail on Sunday Northcliffe House, 2 Derry Street, Kensington London, W8 5TT Send Mr Greig any other compromising information you come across on the Modernist cartel that has commandeered English sees.  He is obviously a man prepared to go after these scumbags.

CALL TO ACTION 2 Write to the Papal Nuncio and to Rome.  Do not waste your time on pious claptrap - it is time for the faithful remnant to come out the trenches and start engaging the enemy in hand to hand combat. Point out that the diocese of Arundel and Brighton has been run into the ground by the last two Modernists and that it is now time to give a genuine Catholic a chance.  You could suggest the names of good priests to the Papal Nuncio. You could also point out that the faithful and the clergy knew that Conry was dodgy when he was appointed in 2001, because it was a standing joke among the faithful that he had a nice "wife"; so the protestations of ignorance by senior churchmen are unbelievable.

ST TARCISIUS CATECHETICS

By: Patrick Lawler - Vice Chairman

“I keep six honest serving-men 
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When 
And How and Where and Who.”

Rudyard Kipling

WHAT is St Tarcisius Catechetics?
It is a project initiated by Pro Ecclesia to create a fully traditional and orthodox children’s Catholic faith formation programme for children aged 6 – 13 years, of the kind that was readily available, indeed, was the norm in the Catholic world prior to the tsunami of Vatican II slamming into the Church.

In essence, we are engaging in asymmetrical spiritual warfare where small bands of guerrilla traditional Catholics bypass the modernist strongholds of the Catholic Education Service (CES) to provide the much-needed sustenance of the One True Faith to the spiritually starving children and families who have been abandoned by the Church hierarchy to a false ecumenism and rank subservience to the ‘values’ of the modern, Godless world.

WHY do we need to do this?
Heart-breaking though it is, we have to face reality and recognise that mainstream Catholic education does not actually exist in this country or in the majority of the rest of the world. It has been wilfully and deliberately destroyed by the zealots (both clerical and lay) of “multiculturalism”, (false) “ecumenism”, “inter-faith dialogue” and “new theology” who have controlled the CES and diocesan education offices for the past 45 years.

Even more appalling than this is the fact that the majority of Bishops not only actively and enthusiastically support the open acceptance and teaching of heresy and indifferentism in so-called ‘Catholic Schools’ but they resist any and all attempts to rectify the situation. The past forty five years have given us an extensive and ignoble record of Bishops ignoring, ridiculing, bullying and openly persecuting faithful and concerned parents and teachers who try to draw attention to the crime being committed against generations of Catholic children on their watch.

WHEN will it be available?
That totally depends on how many people are willing to step up and join the fight by volunteering their time, energy and abilities to create the programme. Simply put, we need volunteers; in the first instance, people with modest computer skills (able to use MS Word for example) who are willing to give of their time to work on the lessons and modules with guidance and help from Pro Ecclesia.

HOW will it be done?

Pro Ecclesia will provide the course structure and volunteers will be asked to create lessons and modules of the curriculum using some material supplied by us and suitable material from any other sources, including those they have already created if they are homeschoolers or Religious Education teachers. This will be co-ordinated via Pro Ecclesia and, when we are ready to begin rolling it out, parents will be able to sign-up to receive the courses via email or access them on our website. Very importantly, this will all be free at the point of use; there will be no charge to families wishing to use any of the resources for their children.

WHERE will the course be available?
Thanks to the global nature of the internet, anyone anywhere in the world (with internet access) will be able to use it.  Likewise, anyone can volunteer to help from anywhere in the world.

WHO is it for?
The courses are intended for Catholic families, whether they home-school or not; for parents or grandparents concerned about the spiritual wellbeing of children, especially if they are in a so-called “Catholic” school. The scale of the abandonment of the flock by the shepherds and teachers is so immense that there are now (at least) two generations who have not been properly catechised themselves. As a result, many parents and grandparents are, rightly, concerned about their children and grandchildren but are unsure of the very basics of the Faith themselves. By working through the lessons (with “Teacher’s notes”) children, parents and grandparents can grow in knowledge and love of the Faith together. As St Augustine of Hippo tells us, “You cannot love what you do not know”.
