As the proverbial dust begins to settle, that a new era has begun in the "crisis of the church" is becoming apparent. First, we had the "resignation" of Pope Benedict in 2013. Then we had Amoris Laetitiae. Then we had Laudato Si. Then we had what this Wolf has dubbed "Tutti Fruiti". Then we had the "Synodal Way". The Pope-'spainers and Conciliar Establishment survived all those nuclear blasts- but just barely. But now, with Fiducia Supplicans, The crumbling structure appears to have finally collapsed. Whether events are being stage-managed or are spontaneous matters little so far as the mainstream body of the Conciliar Church is concerned. And despite the fact that the vast majority of these people are in various degrees of apostasy and objectively in the state of mortal sin, the "bishops", "priests" and "faithful" have up until now represented the body of what passes for the "Apostolic Church" to the world, like it or not.
Now, however, that seems on the cusp of changing dramatically. Pope Frantic is either going to have to "walk back" Fiducia Supplicans or he is going to have to become the Great Excommunicator. He really has no other choice at this point. No amount of equivocating "word salad" is going to fix this.
Now, as this Wolf has speculated and forecasted, this may have been the plan all along. But planned or not, what is clear is that any facade of "unity" for the Conciliar Church is over. Stick a fork in it. It's done. Dead ahead is not a two-way, but a three way "schism" (The word is in quotes for a reason. Just what is it that people will split away from, and where will they go?). On the one hand, the "extremists" are going to cling to the Vatican, while continuing to play the game they are somehow Catholic. On the other, the "conservatives" are going to disown this "pope" and all the trappings. They are going to preserve a "classic Novus Ordo" probably along the lines of the "reforms" of Benedict XVI. And, of course, we are going to see a veritable stampede to the gates of the SSPX. There, the new devotees will be fed a steady diet of "Crisis Lite" where they will "pray for the pope" and enjoy tea and crumpets (or coffee and donuts, depending on the nationality and venue) and exchange war stories.
But none of these groups has seen anything yet.
This Wolf does think we have gotten a preview of things to come with the recent meltdown of one of this Wolf's favorite shills- Archbishop Carlos Maria Vigano. Back in the beginning of October, when Archbishop Vigano suddenly decided to go full blown Sedevacantist (Meaning that he does not believe Francis to be the Pope, for the uninitiated), this Wolf knew something big was in the works, though not exactly what. Now, it is clear that that was the beginning of the end for Archbishop Vigano. He had served his purpose, and now was on the way to the trash heap. But of course, the puppeteers "never let a good crisis go to waste" and decided to use his political suicide to take down as many of his loyal devotees as possible.
They cheered when Archbishop Vigano announced that, finally, he was going to open a seminary to train good priests. (Why was this not on the table years and years ago?) Then they scratched their heads when rumors started to circulate that Archbishop Vigano had been "conditionally re-consecrated by Bishop WIlliamson. (Both of these prelates do need to either confirm or squelch these rumors ASAP, but this Wolf has heard nothing but crickets from all quarters. Even Fr Chazal, who said cryptically that "everything that needed to be done... was done" needs to give more details, and tell all he knows.) And now, with Archbishop Vigano going to his favorite forum, Life Site News (which this WOlf suspects that, like the Late Church Militant, is entirely run by shills...) and called upon the Swiss Guards to arrest Pope Frantic. (Hey, Your Excellency, why don't you grow a pair, gather a posse, and see how far you get? Seriously, get a hold of this Wolf. Sign me up. Like Maximian Giraud, one of the Seers of La Salette who was with the gendarmes defending the Vatican against the sack of the Freemasons in 1870.)
That was total, utter meltdown. Like the followers of Donald Trump after the complete fiasco of January 6th, 2021, the disciples of Archbishop Vigano have, hopefully, had an epiphany. Hopefully, they realize that they have been played.
As for Bishops Schneider and Strickland, and Cardinal Burke... their day too, is coming.
And now, a rant to all of you with any investment in Trad Inc:
The only time Our Lord Jesus Christ became violent was when he entered the precincts of the Temple and cast out the Money Changers. He solemnly declared that "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves." And just what will He say to all of you who have turned the "Crisis in the Church" into a brand name so that you can get Likes, Shares, Subscriptions, and Superchats? If you feel you have something to share with the Blogosphere, fine. But in the meantime, get a day job, stop grifting, and, while you are at it, try living a life of poverty. (Hint: Those of you still indulging in Fast Food are not living a life of poverty.) What happens when you start grifting is that, almost unconsciously, you are going to start to "Taylor" your message and "Marshall" your message to gain support and funds.
Consequently, you are not going to touch on those divisive topics about the validity of the New Mass and Holy Orders or whether the Divine Mercy Chaplet has been condemned. You are not going to engage in any lively debates or expositions. No, instead you are going to mimic what gets the views and be the first to run the story on the latest "hot button topic".
Oh, and speaking of "Hot button topics", how about the Vigano/Williamson affair? Over the past three days this Wolf has heard nothing but crickets from that quarter. Oh, I know. Just tangentially touching on the debate as to whether the Bogus Ordo Rites are valid is going to alienate the whole "conservative" and "FSSP' crowds. ("What? You mean my priest might not even be an actual priest?") Yes, the silence is very revealing of how most of you are just a bunch of sissies profiting over the "Hot Button Topics", most of which are doled to you by the shills. ("What's the latest from Bishop Schnieder?") And then there is the ongoing slaughter in Gaza, which has also vanished down the memory hole. (Pope Frantic will not go near that one. Taking a stand is going to alienate part of his fan base.) Oh, I know. Some of your biggest contributors are also Zionist shills, or at least know some, and would not want to be associated with the Truth about the current political landscape. Best not to disturb that. And let's not talk about false apparitions. Nor the horror that is the "Luminous" mysteries. No, better limit the discussion to what is fair game- the aberrations of Pope Frantic, the latest shenanigans from a bombastic Novus ordo service, and sheeple historical commentary on the coming chastisement. And of course, let's avoid all those conspiracy theories like the plague. Nothing to see there folks, move along... move along.
That light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming freight train.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. You are our only hope!
