This is Not Softball. We're in the Big Leagues Now.

Our Lady of Fatimi, Pray for Us. You Are Our Only Hope!

As many who are familiar with my posts know, every Friday (Usually) night I watch the RunDown, which bills itself as the "Catholic Dis-Info Hour" and have been doing so since the Plandemic of 2020.  
2020 was a gift in many respects.  The Plandemic was the greatest divider of  men from sheeple since that fateful day in September 2001,  eclipsing even the collapse of Leahman Brothers on September 15th, 2008.  (The Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, for those of you paying attention.)
We all recall the facemasks, the "socialist distancing" and the stupid dividers.  But those of us who could smell the odor of the pile of bullshit coming from Wuhan China and who were fully awake could see quite clearly that we were being bombarded with "Fear Porn" 24/7 by the lamestream media.  We were told outrageous stories that the virus was being spread by feral cats ( funny how none of the roads were littered with dead cats, or the caves with dead bats...) and just about every other disease vector one could possibly imagine, while meanwhile people were dying in droves in Wuhan.  (But Disneyland in California, Number One Destination for Wuhan tourists, remained merrily open, while no flight restrictions of incoming Chinese were imposed.  No Plandemic there.  It instead chose to break out at a nursing home in Seattle.)  
And through it all, one could see those who were awake just going about their lives, while the sheeple who were having the living daylights scared out of them were spraying everything in sight with Lysol and donning hazmat uniforms.  My dying mother said that 2020 was the year we got metaphysical 2020 vision, and that anybody who continued to doubt that some sort of "conspiracy" to take over the world exists, while from Moscow to Rio to New York to Sidney the governments played Plandemic, was willfully deluded.
But oh, how short are our memories.
It is incredible that, given all the shenanigans of the election of 2020, the obvious rigging in many districts, the complete lack of accountability, the complete inability of prosecutors from coast to coast to mount legal challenges, anybody would still be promoting a political solution to the ocean of corruption, cronyism, immorality, and malice that is the political landscape of the United States.
Finally, on January 6th, 2021 (Feast of the Epiphany- you know- the Three Kings, Dromedaries, and all that...), Donald Trump, the Real Estate Salesman from Manhattan who probably does not know the difference between a Short Sale and a Foreclosure, made the Washington DC Political Swamp a National Preserve, and gave us what the Golden Jackass calls the Biden Show.  (Not even Jim Willie seems to realize that before that, we had the Trump Show, the Obama Show, the Bush Show, the Clinton Show...)
But, alas, all too many get used to the proverbial Wolf at the Door, and do not realize the gravitas of the present moment, which exceeds by several orders of magnitude the Fall of Rome, the Diaspora, the Black Plague, and the Mongolian Hordes.
Our Lady of Fatima said that "various nations will be annihilated", and we can be certain, at this point, that the United States is at or near the top of that list.  And what will befall the rest of the world when Great Babylon falls will not be pretty either.  (Most likely complete enslavement by a Moscow-Peking-Tehran axis which has been "building back better" for over a decade now.)
With all of this as background, let us now delve into the subject at hand.
Non-Catholics will have difficulty accepting that the Abomination of Desolation is in the Sanctuary, because they have no comprehension of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the extension of Calvary to all times and places, so that everyone might have the opportunity to stand with St John and Our Lady at the Foot of the "Old Rugged Cross".  But just take a drive to your local suburban MegaChurch and take a gander of what takes place on stage, then crack open the Gospel of St John, and perhaps you will begin to get the picture.  Padre Pio of Pietrelcina is often quoted as saying the world needs the Catholic Mass more than it needs the sun, and, since the introduction in Catholic sanctuaries of the Abomination of Desolation, AKA the Novus Ordo Missae, in 1970 by the wishes of Pope Paul VI, his words have born true.

Now. of course, all of this is the work of the devil, who has been seeking for two millennia to abolish the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.  (Protestantism was a major victory, sorry to say to all you "Other Christian Faiths" out there.  Luther, Zwingli, Cramner, and the other "reformers" replaced the Altar of the Clean Oblation prophesied by Malachi with a miserable banquet table, and made their "Sanctuaries" desolate, abolishing likewise the Real Presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle.)  (In fact, Cardinal Suenens and the other "reformers" at Vatican II inaugurated a process in the 1960's and 1970's that uncannily resembled the Protestant "Reformation", complete with female acolytes, Communion from the Cup, and other practices condemned by the Council of Trent and chronicled in the work by Michael Davies: Cranmer's Godly Order.) 

To say that the world is an unholy mess is a gross understatement.  Understandably, ambitious young men want to "step up to the plate" and work for reforms to Altar and Throne.  All of this is commendable.  Humanity is in desperate need of Apostolic Zeal.

But at the same time, one must not embark upon what was colorfully described by Obi Wan Kenobi as a "damned fool idealistic crusade".

Satan knows full well that every priest, every bishop, and every last cleric who would reform Holy Mother Church must have an Apostolic Mandate.  Nobody takes up the sword of the Spirit of his own accord.  Our Lord gave Peter the power to bind and loose upon Heaven and Earth- an awesome power, a mighty power, and, in a certain sense, an eternal power.  It is St Peter and his successors in the Holy Seat that empower and send anyone who would administer the Holy Sacraments.  (Two important exceptions are Baptism and Holy Matrimony.  In necessity any man or woman can baptize.  And in necessity any man and woman can contract the bonds of Holy Matrimony without the witness of a cleric, as was done in Japan for over two centuries from the time of the early Jesuit Missionaries to that island until Commodore Perry and his Great White Fleet ended Japanese isolationism.) 

In 1988, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre navigated that perilous road by consecrating four bishops to guarantee the perpetuity of his priestly society, which was to be a sort of "underground church" until "Rome came to its senses".  Tragically, his successors did not carry out their mission in fear and trembling, but rather assumed the mission of a "Parallel Magisterium".  One of their members told my mother that "Oh, the 'crisis in the church'; you get used to it.  As a result, all their efforts have withered, and they have yet another crop of confused blind men who, each Sunday from the pulpit, lead their flocks into the pit.  (Just look at their cowardly capitulation to Plandemic and Quaccine mandates- 'Nuff said.) 

One should never get complacent in the midst of popes spouting heresies, of abominable religious "ceremonies'', of legalized murder in the forms of abortion and euthanzia, of satanists wanting to "worship" in the town square.

No, we should tremble.  With Little St Jacinta, one of the Young Shepherds at Fatima who saw the pit of hell, we should say one rosary after another, unceasingly.  Four generations have sown the wind.  And now the whirlwind of apostasy and utter, insane dedication to the permissiveness of Hell and obstinate refusal to trod the narrow path to Heaven threatens to become a Category Seven Geopolitical Hurricane that will dash untold souls into the furnace of hell.

Our Lady gave us two solutions.  The Holy Rosary and the Brown Scapular.  There are no others.  Without these, nobody will be able to ride out the coming storm.  In heart and soul, let us head into the desert with Our Lady, and patiently await the triumph of the Immaculate Heart while continuing to do the Sovereign Will of the Thrice Holy Godhead.
