The main reason this Wolf believes we are on the cusp of the appearance of the "Lawless One", the "Man of Sin"-in short, the Antichrist- is because men have lost their principle of unity.
One of the Crown Jewels of Freemasonry is the successful destruction of the Principle of Unity. From their foundation in 1717 with the Grand Lodge of England, their Principle of Unity is "Do What Thou Wilt" and they have waged, tragically for good men everywhere, a very successful campaign against "Altar and Throne".
They did this, to paraphrase a famous speech by John Fitzgerald Kennedy, not with armies by day, but with covert operations by night. By infiltration, not overt subjugation. Elsewhere this wolf has speculated on how they infiltrated the Papacy, and that many centuries ago, before the Lodges organized and brought the occult into the Light of Day, so to speak. They did the same to the Great Monarchies of Europe, mostly with just some strategically placed old-fashioned bribes.
For the Sheeple, the Principle of Unity is the Masonic Ritual of the Democratic Process. Create a Platform, start a campaign, and hit the streets. The problem is, of course, that, inevitably, in order to garner the maximum number of supporters, the Platform will be compromised. A Proclamation that Abortion is Murder and an outright ban? Heck no. Abortion only three weeks after a woman first notices she is pregnant? Sticky. The solution? Eureka! Pregnancy tests and contraception. Still immoral, still the path to hell, but at least we are not killing babies in the birth canal.
The Ritual of the Voting Booth is very pervasive, and runs deeper than even many "Monarchists" would care to contemplate. It has infiltrated Holy Mother Church. And right now, we are approaching a culmination. And all the shills, and their useful idiots, are on one of three platforms. Concerning the papacy, you have basically three choices at this point. One: Pope Frantic is Unhappily Reigning. Two: We have not had a Pope since Vatican II. Three: Pope Benedict never retired, and the "Conclave and Election" of Pope Frantic was invalid.
For the record, this Wolf adheres to option #3. That being said, he does not agree at all with perhaps the Biggest Useful Idiot who agrees with his position, Anne Barnhardt, who recently posted a Three Hour Sermon castigating and excoriating those who do not agree, mainly aimed at the "Recognize and Resist" crowd who thinks Frantic is Pope. In the course of her video, Anne repeatedly exonerates her listeners, who she hopes is people like Michael Matt and Bishop Fellay, to just "listen to yourself". Well, Anne, at one point you just blithely said that Our Lord Jesus Christ accepted Benedict's Resignation. How do you know? JUST LISTEN TO YOURSELF.
The point here is that, while Anne has the correct position- this Wolf believes- concerning the Papacy, she is still infected with Americanism, Legal Positivism- in her case, the notion that "Canon Law" is supreme, and democratization, which dies a very, very, very hard death. Anne apparently believes that the problems in the church can be solved by a majority of Catholics adopting her- and this Wolf's, let me emphasize- position. Then the Cardinals can "throw the bum out" (sound familiar??) and elect... who? Who, Anne, is this nest of Pederast Birdbrains going to elect? Is Pius the Lionhearted reposing in obscurity somewhere waiting to be tapped on the shoulder by the Holy Ghost?
Protestants, for all their heresies and foibles, have one magnificent thing right- Our Lord Jesus Christ is our Principle of Unity: Our Principal, so to speak. Not the Papacy, and certainly not kings.
While Thomas Jefferson left a lot to be desired, One magnificent Principle he enunciated was "The Government that Governs Best, Governs Least". That should have been the Motto of the Popes since at least Pius VII. If that man would have just remained silent, his legacy would be greater, and Holy Mother Church far better off.
Meanwhile, in what purports to be Holy Mother Church, we are about to launch into the Great Papacy Debate, and that is the point of this post. Whether you "adhere" to Pope Frantic, are a Sedevacantist, or a "Bene-Plenist" (This Wolf's position), do keep in mind that, at the end of the day, that is an OPINION, not a DOGMA. Last time this Wolf recited the Credo, the Church had four marks: One, Holy, Universal, and Apostolic. Not even in the fine print is there any mention of who the current pope might be.
Meanwhile, let us unite under the Mantle of Our Lady of Fatima. The Most Holy Rosary- that is our Principle of Unity. Let it be Mass, Office, Rule, and Enclosure. With it, Our Lady and Her Divine Spouse, the Holy Ghost, will give one the lights to placidly navigate these times troubled by sins that cry to heaven. Nothing prevents us from peace- the tranquility of order.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope!
[26] The fairies are not to be seized on, and brought to answer for the hurt they do. So also the ecclesiastics vanish away from the tribunals of civil justice.
[27] The ecclesiastics take from young men the use of reason, by certain charms compounded of metaphysics, and miracles, and traditions, and abused Scripture, whereby they are good for nothing else but to execute what they command them. The fairies likewise are said to take young children out of their cradles, and to change them into natural fools, which common people do therefore call elves, and are apt to mischief.
[28] In what shop or operatory the fairies make their enchantment, the old wives have not determined. But the operatories of the clergy are well enough known to be the universities, that received their discipline from authority pontifical.
[29] When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them. The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another.
[30] The fairies marry not; but there be amongst them incubi that have copulation with flesh and blood. The priests also marry not.
