Be sure of this as 2020 unfolds: The Catholic establishment is going to be doing a lot of turf protection. They are on their heels and now forced to play defense.
To that end, their establishment media attack dogs have been unleashed, and their major aim out of the gate seems to be to rewrite recent history, claiming credit for exposing the corruption in the Church.
The problem is that, because they are the establishment, they have been part of the corruption by their neglect to report on what they knew when they knew it back in the day, and now they are busying themselves taking bows for all their efforts at investigative journalism.
Please.
This all began last week as establishment author George Weigel — who it appears wouldn't know a real news story if it bit him — decided to condescend to all us little people and dutifully instruct us on who we should read in Catholic media, and more importantly, who we should never listen to.
In his poorly reasoned article in the ecumenical publication First Things, Weigel counsels Catholics that the current crisis and exposure of clerical corruption is going to get worse this year as new and more damaging information comes to light — true, even though you don't have to be a professional egghead to have figured that out.
But then he goes completely off the rails saying that Catholics who become aware of these situations should get their warm and fuzzy from the establishment Catholic media, who will gently rub their toes and sing them soft lullabies and get them through the crisis.
Do not listen to those hyperbolic Catholic websites, he cautions. Specifically, he says: "Resolve to limit your exposure to the Catholic blogosphere. In 2019, many Catholic websites went bonkers. There is no need to click on sites that specialize in all-hysteria or all-propaganda all-the-time."
While it may be true that some bloggers have a lot to learn when it comes to investigative journalism, all of this evil has been exposed precisely because of genuine reporting by sites like Church Militant. Many folks have contacted us in the wake of the McCarrick revelations and first apologized, accepted and then said Church Militant was right all along; we just didn't want to believe it because it was too horrible.
Agreed, it is horrible, but that doesn't excuse getting in the fight. It actually imposes it as an obligation.
But fight is the last thing on the minds of the establishment softies, who Weigel is a good waterboy for. He immediately recommends to his scant readers in First Things who they should pay attention to this coming year for "balance and accuracy and truth. ... If you want reliable Catholic news, visit the websites of Catholic News Agency and the National Catholic Register."
Ha! That's priceless. Seriously. Catholic News Agency? It's reliable, all right — reliably establishment propaganda.
And the National Catholic Register? Well, if you remember, the National Catholic Register was the paper of record for the Legionaries of Christ, the community founded by the evil priest Fr. Marcial Maciel. Maciel was one of the worst serial sex offenders in clerical history, a priest who sodomized two of his own sons, whom he fathered with a woman he raped.
What did his paper, the National Catholic Register, do? How did it "report" the story? By attacking those exposing Maciel's monstrosities, defaming them and practically canonizing Maciel in their rush to defend him.
When the full reality of Maciel's demonic activity came out, his community folded and Rome had to step in and take control, reforming the entire thing. The paper, bought for a song by EWTN, got a facelift as a "reliable" information source and is now touted by the likes of Weigel.
The point is this; it's so simple you don't need to rub elbows with the "intellectual" Wegiel crowd to understand it. No "media" outfit can be counted on to accurately report on the people who own it, or the establishment it is a part of. It's called a "conflict of interest." We commoners and Catholic peasants call it "biting the hand that feeds you." It just doesn't happen.
Case in point, CNA (Catholic News Agency) and the editor-in-chief, J.D. Flynn, who has no — as in zero — professional experience as a journalist (and got his job as top dog at CNA because of his connections to the bishops' conference, which is happy to have a lap dog running a media outfit. It gives them cover).
J.D. got very bothered by the blowback Weigel's inane comments received, so he came out defending CNA: "[N]o one has done more serious investigative work in the past few years than us [CNA], or seen more results come from our work."
Give me a break! CNA, like the rest of the Catholic establishment media, only reports on stories investigating corruption after the horse is already out of the barn. In short, Church Militant and others do all the heavy lifting, digging and exposing, and then the Weigel establishment crowd comes in and claims credit.
However, there is another less seemly aspect to this as well, information that actually backs up that Catholic establishment media deceive the public by running interference for the bad guys. Church Militant knows for a fact that a month ago, Catholic News Agency was given information about the notorious case of Detroit's Fr. Eduard Perrone and the scandalous cases of Abp. Allen Vigneron stonewalling the court, refusing to hand over documents he had been ordered to.
Church Militant has been covering this case, as you may know, since the summer, and all of it is public record — court records that any media establishment can acquire, just like we did. We know CNA passed on doing the story because we were the ones who offered the entire background and documents to them — and they expressed zero interest.
Could it be because the archbishop in question is now vice president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Flynn publicly stated [in a subsequently deleted Facebook post] that they report in such a way that keeps CNA in communion with the bishops? Translation: We support the USCCB and don't want to run afoul of them because they will stop promoting us and our access will dry up.
J.D. and his Catholic News Agency also came out in defense of Cdl. Blase Cupich in the notorious case of Fr. Paul Kalchik, who fled in fear for his life from Chicago when Cupich helped whip up gay anger against Fr. Kalchik, who burned a gay banner his parish had from the days of a scandalous pastor who was actively gay. But CNA conveniently skipped those details. Yet this is the type of outfit that Weigel recommends to Catholics for being trustworthy and not reporting propaganda.
Weigel also manages to deftly avoid his full-throated prior support for the crooked, disgraced, cover-up Cdl. Donald Wuerl, whose shuffling around of priests in Pittsburgh resulted in deaths and homosexual abuse; but Weigel counseled at the time: Pay no attention to the catcalls — Donny is a nice guy.
The jig is up. The Catholic establishment media — as Church Militant has been reporting for years and is being attacked by them for — is totally compromised. They cannot conduct authentic, fact-based investigations because they are reporting on the very leaders who they owe their existence to. Independent Catholic media are the only reliable trustworthy sources you have. The establishment is corrupt. It has been for decades.
To think that you can get your information from sources who support the corruption and send out attack dogs to go after authentic news outfits exposing the rot is wrong-headed. But as we said, the jig is up. People are on to the establishment tricks.
One comment under Weigel's hit piece sums it up most succinctly: "If you restrict yourself to the four websites (mouthpieces for the bishops) Weigel recommends, you will have no clue what is happening in the Catholic Church."
Indeed. The smug elite refuse to cover actual news and show up late to the game only when forced to.
Weigel's right that more filth will be exposed this year. If you want the real story, you know where to come.

Happy Solemnity of the Mother of God, and a happy new year as well.
Here we are — 2020 — one-fifth of the way into the new century. And what a stage is being set for a gigantic clash on virtually every cultural stage imaginable. From politics to the Church, not one area will be left untouched by the war.
What is underlying the war is a battle over truth. For decades and decades those charged with advancing truth in both civic and Church arenas have lied and perverted situations to their own personal advantage. Trust has been betrayed on a scale unseen in human history, and inside the Church the travesty is unmatched.
On this day when we celebrate the Solemnity of the Mother of God, let's stop for a moment and consider this: Being the Mother of God, she is, therefore, the Mother of justice, for Jesus Christ is justice itself, as is plainly evident in the Apocalypse. Truth, which Christ is, as He Himself testifies to, is so closely related to justice and charity as to be almost indistinguishable. So to desire justice is a hallmark of spiritual health because it relates to truth and charity for victims. What we see almost worldwide is a growing desire for justice across the board.
In the Church, we see increasing demand from faithful Catholics that crooked prelates be punished and removed for their scandalous involvements, be they financial, sexual or otherwise. On the political front, it's becoming clear that a great unrest is developing in the country over the manifest unfairness of governmental officials exploiting power for their own ideology. The so-called "deep state" appears to be about to face a day of reckoning, as more information about weaponizing the powers of the federal government to usurp the votes of 63 million Americans comes into sharp focus.
The impeachment fiasco is blowing up in Democrats' faces, and the proof is that Trump's approval ratings have risen dramatically to the highest point in his presidency — and, adding insult to injury for the Left, a brand new poll from Gallup (of all outlets) reveals that Donald Trump is now tied with Obama as the most admired man of 2019. That has got to be salt in the wounds to Nancy Pelosi and gang.
What's at work here is the abiding sense of fairness — closely related to justice — which involves the rectifying of injustice. Fair-minded people see through unjust situations. It's part of our nature — the spark of the Divine that we all carry around inside of us. It's the same reason the affairs in the Church have reached a boiling point, a virtual stand-off between the faithful and bishops.
2020 may very well be the year of revolution in the Church, and not the phony "Revolution of Mercy" that Cupich is always spouting off about. There is no mercy without justice, for example, concerning the body count of victims in the Church — and not just the broken bodies and shattered psyches of minors, mostly male, but also, more importantly, the souls of countless Catholics betrayed by evil clergy.
This tweet on the feast of the Holy Family by a twisted and perverted priest from Lexington, Kentucky is a case in point; Father Jim Sichko — appropriately named — tweeted out that gay men having sex with each other and also raising children is just as "holy" — his term — as the Holy Family, because there are all kinds of different families.
That is a pure evil thing to say, motivated by a wicked man hiding behind his collar. Aside from the blasphemy involved, how does this offend the virtue of justice, you might ask? Because there are victims of his filth — innocent or naïve souls who can easily fall prey to his rot because they have been dumbed down by a lack of catechesis from an elite class of bishops who have no supernatural faith.
Those victims must be protected and this bastard must be called out. It matters not that he is a priest; Judas was a bishop. Luther was a priest. Zwingli was a priest. They too were all bastards — illegitimate sons of the Church who betrayed their divine calling.
Sichko, protected by his pro-gay Bp. John Stowe, actually equated the act of sodomy between two men to the love shared between the members of the Holy Family. That's demonic. But Sichko was quick to respond to his challengers on Twitter standing on his title of Missionary of Mercy — a post given him by Pope Francis — one of only 1,000 priests in the world.
Justice demands that the victims of injustice be protected. Bishops have allowed theological filth to flood their parishes. They continue to steal from the faithful in the United States and even the Vatican itself to promote their horrid lifestyles.
A time of reckoning has arrived. The U.S. courts and prosecutors are now deeply involved. Donations to the Church are beginning to dry up. Bishops are being removed, owing to massive amounts of negative publicity outing them for who and what they are. The same spirit that is seeing such a groundswell in the political world is also evidencing itself in the Church.
But do not get swept up in all this. The forces of darkness are becoming more and more violent in their response — the wounded animal response. Merging the culture and Church once again in this battle, NBC's Chuck Todd on last Sunday's Meet the Press said this.
[Transcript unavailable]
They sense — rightfully so — a great movement arising, and they are going to bring everything they have to bear in this fight. Be prepared, spiritually and temporally, for the great onslaught. 2020 will be a landmark year like no other in the Church and in the world. Let's go!
Mother of Justice, pray for us.

Merry Christmas — for not only Christmas Day but the entire Octave of Christmas, whose joy cannot be contained to just one day, but spills over into another calendar week.
Christmas is always a time to keep things in proper focus. To put them in perspective, that little Babe in the manger — if we are honest — is a born killer, and to follow him means violence. He Himself grows up and says, "The Kingdom of Heaven comes as through violence" — spiritual violence, He means, the ripping apart of ourselves and putting whatever evil there is in us to the sword.
The same Babe would also say in his adulthood, "I have not come to bring peace, but the sword." Following the Babe means violence, division and hatred — and death. There is no escaping this. When light comes into a room, the darkness is abused and driven out by the violence of brilliance. Darkness is made not only homeless, but vanquished, killed.
Christ in the manger is only 40 days old when Simeon prophecies that He will be responsible for the fall, the defeat of many in Israel. And wherever the Christ Child is, violence is right there, following like a shadow.
Within days after His birth, He is brought into the Temple and the old man Simeon unsheathes the sword for the Queen of Heaven. Because of Him, Mother, a sword your own soul shall pierce. Days later, the state pulls out its swords on the orders of Herod Antipas and brings forth the first martyrs of Christ — the Holy Innocents.
Violence, hatred, swords, killing — they are all over the pages of the gospels. The Prince of Peace brings His peace through violence and hatred — hatred of sin, evil and the Prince of Darkness. Even on the last pages of Sacred Scripture, as He comes to usher in the final defeat of the enemy, He comes with a sword — a sword to kill injustice and evil.
But these images never sit well with the Church of Nice crowd; it's too offensive, too unsettling, not nice enough. It will frighten the children.
"I came into this world to bear witness to the truth," He will grow up and tell Pilate. "Everyone who hears the truth, hears my voice" — and those who don't hear His voice crucify Him.
Christianity, in the end, is all about a war to the death — an internal war to the death and an external war to the death. Our general has come to bring death to the Old World Order and to usher in the only authentic New World Order there is.
The reason so many Church of Nice members — the "country club" Catholics, the emasculated clergy — will fawn and ooze and gush over the cribs and mangers near the front of the churches this time of year is because that's about their speed. They want a weak God, a cooing, slurpy, baby of a God, lying there looking cute and cuddly, demanding absolutely nothing other than making goo-goo faces.
But they are self-deluded. This newborn King demands your blood, your sacrifice, your sword be laid at the foot of that manger. He demands you make war and bring death to the enemy. You cannot love Him without hating the world and evil and sin. You cannot approach the sacred crèche without your sword drawn and ready to be placed in His service.
This is no mere baby. He is God with us, beginning His mission to announce the conquest, trampling under and destruction of Hell, and anyone who loves Him must take up the sword and join in the battle until the day they die.
To love God means to hate sin. The peace that the Child ushers in is not a détente, an accord, where good and bad strike some tentative pact of mutual non-aggression. His peace means total war: "I will put hatred between you and the woman, between your offspring and hers. You will strike at her heel, and she will crush your head."
The angels did not sing to the shepherds because a baby was born. They sang because His birth announced the final battle to completely crush underfoot their old companions whom they had cast out of the angelic realms. As the angelic trumpets blared and their voices filled the Heavens with cries of "Gloria!" Satan and all his offspring were put on notice; the final battle was beginning and you and your followers will be cast into the pool of everlasting fire — and there will be peace. Only then will men beat their swords into plowshares.
From all of us here at Church Militant, a very merry, happy and holy Christmas to all of you and your families, friends and loved ones.
The Vortex will return On New Year's Day — the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, the co-redemptrix.
TRANSCRIPT
An Italian exorcist is publicly warning that what he calls aggressive satanism is forecasting a collapse of society, and he's attributing it to the collapse of the family. Father Francois Dermine, a Dominican, is saying that children are being exposed to the demonic at younger and younger ages, and it's taking its toll.
While much of this has remained off the front pages, some of it is becoming more well known. For example, recent news about a publication titled A Children's Book of Demons has many people understandably concerned. It's marketed specifically for children 5–10 years old and presents a fun experience for little children, with bright and colorful images of roughly 20 devils, presenting them as kind of friendly cartoon characters.
The book is the work of an occultist and skilled illustrator, Aaron Leighton, who also uses the book as a means to teach children how to actually summon demons through the use of what's known as the sigil, a magical symbol.
Father Dermine says the book is further evidence of just how much things have deteriorated in a very short amount of time because, just a few years ago, almost no one would have imagined such a book would ever be thought of, much less produced and sold — and now a virtual slew of them are being produced, aimed again specifically at young children.
There's the Satanic Coloring Book, with its cover design of children happily coloring in a pentagram for its cover, which came out in October — but not before the August release, right on the hooves of the Children’s Book of Demons, of Baphomet and Friends: The Satanic Coloring Book. The lower part of the cover says: "Presenting Satan, Lucifer, Black Goat, Catlhulhu, Dracula, Cthulhu, the grim reaper, the Krampus, Witch and More!"
If you've been keeping track, that's a child's demon book released in quick succession in July, August and October. Parents should be deeply worried.
But, Fr. Dermine says, that's just the problem; not only are parents not worried, they aren't even engaged. With the continuing dissolution of the family, children have very few role models, he says. And that, combined with a plummeting interest in the Church by young people, and you have the two major ingredients for a huge upsurge in interest in the occult and the demonic.
The Church, owing to the massive weakness of its current leadership — not just in Rome but all over the West — is driving children away. Recent polling from Pew and others reveals an astonishing statistic: that it isn't just adults leaving the Church, but young children. A majority of people who leave when they reach adulthood told Pollster they actually stopped believing when they were 10–18 years old. Those ages and even younger — as we see from the coloring book explosion — are when children and teens become exposed to the satanic elements, usually through other friends in school.
Father Dermine says that exposure at these young ages creates what he calls a "satanist mentality," where the occult and the black arts just become normal. Whatever shock — if there ever was any — simply fades away and satanic rituals and witchcraft and so forth become completely accepted as no big deal, and even participated in as normal activity.
There is no doubt that all this demonic and occultism and witchcraft is getting ready to explode into the mainstream. At some point, a critical mass gets reached and the inevitable mainstreaming hits. With the U.S. presidential election coming next year, 2020 just might be the year it all comes into the open.
For example, this past October, 13,000 self-proclaimed witches cast what's called a "binding spell" on President Trump, hoping to knock his administration off track. In fact, witches and their activity have been multiplying since the very day Trump became president. In 2018, a large number of New York covens of witches hosted a spell-casting ritual against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
As a point of reference, researchers have found that witchcraft has been increasing since the 1990s. Then there were an estimated 8,000 wiccans in the United States. Ten years later, in 2008, their ranks had grown to 340,000 and five years ago, in 2014, Pew Research pegged their number at 1.5 million — almost half a percent of the entire U.S. population (and remember, that was five years ago).
In these intervening five years, we've witnessed a number of Black Masses gaining considerable attention, social media sites selling what they at least claim are consecrated Hosts for desecration, and God only knows how many more witches and self-professed pagans — likely millions. All the signs indicate that conditions are ripe for a titanic clash between good and evil, in the Church and in the culture at large. The storm clouds have been gathering for a long time now, and perhaps most disturbing is the association of all this evil with children.
Sixty million killed through abortion, millions more with no stable family, no moral role models — and now an exploding satanic culture poised to emerge from the shadows and go mainstream.
This coming year's election may be the focal point, the center of a storm, but it is absolutely certain that what will be swirling around it, the driving winds of the storm, will be an intense spiritual war.

Americans have an expression about getting something bad as a Christmas present. It's called "getting a lump of coal in your stocking." Here in the archdiocese of Detroit, Abp. Allen Vigneron and his hit man Msgr. Michael Bugarin have just gotten a king-sized lump of coal in their stocking.
It has now come out that when they turned over the file to attorneys for wrongly accused Fr. Eduard Perrone, they deliberately left out key pieces of information.
After stonewalling for weeks, dragging their weak case through the courts and further appeals, losing every step of the way, it finally took the potential threat of Vigneron being arrested for contempt of court on Thanksgiving Day for him to cough up the file.
But in a glaring display of dishonesty and lack of ethics, Vigneron held back some vital information - information which actually exonerates Fr. Perrone AND demonstrates just how duplicitous and crooked Vigneron and Bugarin have been with this whole case.
As Perrone's lawyers pored over the more than 500 pages, they noticed incomplete transcripts of witness interviews, missing pages, certain texts being referred to, but no actual copy of the texts themselves.
So Perrone's lawyers have had to go back to court and once again ask the judge to hold Vigneron and the archdiocese in contempt. They note in their motion, "The transcripts did not appear to start at the beginning of the interview and referenced text and email messages that the AOD did not include."
And most telling of all, and confirming what Church Militant has been reporting from the very beginning, Fr. Perrone has been set up by Msgr. Bugarin and the archbishop — falsely accused.
Perrone's lawyers accuse the archbishop of deliberately withholding information which "exonerates Fr. Perrone."
That's because within the file — the file that Vigneron and Bugarin are trying desperately to keep hidden — are statements from the alleged victim that "altered his description" of what he claims happened — and again actually "refuted a material statement attributed to him."
What's becoming more and more clear is that Bugarin, with the approval of Vigneron, put these suggestions into the head of the alleged victim, who at first agreed and reported them to authorities, but then on further questioning actually reversed himself.
And when Bugarin presented his case to the archdiocesan review board, he either lied to them and deceived them by deliberately withholding vital information — like Vigneron is doing now — or the board members were in on it and went along with the lynching of Fr. Perrone.
Either way, this is all continuing to happen with the blessing of the archbishop, who is beginning to set a record in the number of times he's being accused of contempt of court. The men who run the archdiocese of Detroit are liars and deceivers, stretching all the way back to the days of homosexualist Cdl. John Dearden, who ordained Vigneron in 1975.
Vigneron and his cronies in the chancery are engaged in a deliberate act of deceiving and disobeying the court in an attempt to prevent the truth of their actions coming out.
After being ordered multiple times to hand over everything, and refusing to for weeks, they finally produced partial records, hiding important records which reveal who they really are, as well as the whole truth of this filthy case.
So sitting in Vigneron's stocking right now is a tremendous lump of coal that he's going to have to deal with as soon as the Christmas season is over and his cheating and deceptions finally get exposed in the broad light of day.

Reports swirled around the internet earlier yesterday that the Pontifical Biblical Commission had given its approval to a reading of Sacred Scripture that approves of homosexual unions. The reports were based on a new 300-page book entitled What Is Man?
Some media outlets reported the book said the following things about homosexuality: "a legitimate and dignified expression of the human being." The media reports went on to claim that the book said, "A new and more adequate understanding of the human person imposes a radical reservation on the exclusive valuation of the heterosexual union in favor of an analogous reception of homosexuality and homosexual unions."
In short, the time for looking at heterosexual unions as the only morally permissable union is at an end. Put the brakes on the idea of just heterosexual unions. The Church has been wrong for 2,000 years. It's time to now include homosexual unions as also morally legitimate.
Again, media reports continued that, after much word-smithing and twisted interpretation by pro-gay scholars, the Old and New Testament condemnations were little else than "cultural features of that time."
While there is still some disagreement about what the report actually says, or more importantly, why some of those references are in the report at all, one thing is certain: Because of the current pro-gay climate that has been created in the Church, Catholics on both sides jumped on the media reports and treated them as accurate.
Orthodox Catholics went ballistic over the possibility that the Vatican and Francis papacy had finally come totally out of the closet and the homosexual camp in the Church was gaga over the report, as seen here in a tweet from Brokeback Martin, celebrating what he thought was an accurate report.
Why was everyone so ready to believe these reports? That's easy. Because homosexual men, admitted into seminary by other homosexual men, ordained by homosexual men, consecrated bishops by homosexual men, seizing operational control of the Church, have brought the Church to this point.
Men like Fr. James Martin is little else than the latest in a long line of homosexualists in the clergy, whose entire reason for entering the clergy was to get the Church to bless their filth.
It all started with a communist agent invasion beginning almost a century ago, and now a century later, the Church is coming apart at the seams.
And hundreds of millions of wimpy head-in-the-sand Catholics, who have zero understanding of the idea that the Faith must be fought for in every generation, simply whistle past the graveyard because they are too terrified to get into the fight.
The pro-homosexual clerics are bastard sons of the Church. They must be called out and challenged at every turn. They have no love for Christ, His Church or the souls of those they corrupt on the march to perverting the teachings.
Sodomy is not a gift. It is an evil that if, participated in and unrepented of, leads a soul to Hell forever, like many other mortal sins. But too many of these scholars and clergy are homosexuals themselves or completely embracing of it so they may gain Church support for their personally immoral lives.
All of this was painfully evident when the homosexual clergy child sex abuse scandal burst upon the Church in 2002. That was brought into the Church by homosexual priests and bishops — and there was loads more homosexual activity within the clergy and hierarchy than just child abuse. It's just that a portion of these sick men also attacked children, and that is what brought the truth into the open.
Yet even still today, homosexual cardinals and their allies continue to deny the plain truth. Men like Blase Cupich and Joseph Tobin continue to spew out that homosexuality has nothing to do with homosexual abuse.
Yet in nearly every single example of scandal still being vomited into the world from the Church, homosexuality is front and center.
The list of homosexual crimes committed against the Faith by prelates and priests goes on and on and on.
Gay, drug-fueled orgies in the Vatican, Roman clergy frequenting gay bars, gay officials promoted by Francis, abusive homosexual prelates covered up for by him, his own number two accused of covering up for a wildly abusive bishop.
As we said, it goes on and on. Homosexuality, as a gift in itself, is now ensconced in the Vatican as perfectly normal.
What Catholics need to understand is really pretty simple once you get your head wrapped around it. Nearly every current bishop in the West has been part of the homosexualization of the Church. At the very least, they have sat by and said nothing.
But for the majority, the seminaries were hotbeds of homosexuality. They were engineered starting in the 1960s to recruit, form and ordain gay men and weed out heterosexual men. Once ordained, they patiently worked their way up the career ladder, promoted by other gay men, all with the single intent of corrupting the Church into teaching that their filth is moral and acceptable.
And now they have reached a point where they feel free enough to say Scripture has it wrong. Brokeback Martin tweeted that very thing himself weeks ago, saying he doesnt deny Scripture condemns homosexuality, but adding the rhetorical question: "The issue is precisely whether the biblical judgment is correct."
The biblical judgment is correct, Martin. It is you and your fellow homosexual travelers who are wrong. You are a filthy, condemnable lot who pervert teaching to feel good about yourselves and rationalize your evil. You can meet with the pope all you want and tweet about it all you want.
This is a homosexual papacy, so anything Francis says which contradicts Divine Law can be completely dismissed. He is wrong, flat-out wrong — underscored by when he told a gay man that "God made you that way."
The civil war the Church is now engaged in has been brought to you first by communism, and then accelerated by perverted homosexual men in the clergy. Period.
Ten years ago, Church Militant started telling you about all this. We were mocked continually. We weren't wrong then, and we aren't wrong now.
Understand: Your souls and the souls of your loved ones are being offered up by twisted men to support their own psychological illnesses. From decades of highly effeminate men in the pulpits to clergy in Rome, there is no authentic love for you, not one shred.

Canadian Catholics are weeping these days, thanks to a string of continued disappointments and threats to the Faith engineered by Toronto Cdl. Thomas Collins.
Collins, who has been cardinal-archbishop of Toronto since 2007, has given his blessing — meaning his permission — for the Toronto Catholic School Board to include so-called gender ideology to its charter for schools.
The board voted in favor by an 8–4 vote at its meeting last month to make the move and revealed in notes handed out at the hearing that it had the blessing of Cdl. Collins.
Jack Fonseca, president of Canada's Campaign Life Coalition, reacted to the news with a direct message to Cardinal Collins online.
While faithful Catholics were mourning the decision and Collins' betrayal, the secular media was cheering on the move, saying it was an answer to their prayers, suggesting strongly that little by little, the Catholic Church is changing its approach and teachings.
That's the message of confusion being perpetrated on Canadian Catholics by Collins' betrayal.
Reports are in fact that it was Collins approval that was the tipping factor in the board's decision - providing the final push that a majority of Catholic school trustees needed to add "gender identity" and "gender expression" as protected classes for non-discrimination in all Toronto Catholic schools.
Catholic schools will now allow male teachers to show up to class dressed as women. Boys will be allowed to come to school in a dress. Students, teachers or other staff who object to any of this will be found in violation of the board's code of conduct and may face serious disciplinary measures, including expulsion and firing.
Just as significantly, Catholic teachers will no longer be permitted to tell students the religious and scientific truth that there are only two sexes, male and female, and that being male or female is not a social construct.
But this was only the latest in a string of betrayals by Collins.
As Church Militant reported almost 10 years ago, the cardinal fell absoutley silent when the school baord was debating implementing a gay "Equity & Inclusive Education Strategy" (EIES) that was recommended for all schools by the Ontario government's Ministry of Education.
In 2015 Canadian lawmaker Jim Wilson, who was freinds with Collins, told university students that Collins personally told him to "back off" opposing the sex ed. Wilson had been leading the charge in what was at the time a pretty vigorous fight against the gay curriculum being pushed by Premiere Kathleen Wynne, a lesbian.
According to Wilson, Cdl. Collins phoned him up and invited him to breakfast. They met and the cardinal asked him to get his entire party to drop their opposition.
But the list of betrayals against the Faith continues.
Collins has allowed a sacrilegious gay Mass to carry on at Our Lady of Lourdes ever since he arrived to take over the diocese, after a stint in Edmonton, Alberta. Local newspapers reporting on the gay Masses have cited gay parishioners alleging that the Masses happen with the cardinal's personal approval.
Then there is the remarkable case of Collins allowing a canadian Catholic politician to present himself as a devout parishioner, and then to boast of his full-throated support for abortion.
At an Oct. 3 pre-election event for Catholic voters hosted by the archdiocese of Toronto, Cdl. Collins opened the debate between five candidates with his reflections on St. Thomas More and the right of people of faith to have a voice at the democratic table.
Liberal MP Francesco Sorbara in a remarkably disingenuous opening statement gushed about how important his Catholic life to him is: "I'm proud to be here as a Knights of Columbus member, as a parishioner of St. Francis of Assisi in Vaughan. ... I'm proud to be here as someone who was raised in the values of Catholicism."
During the debate, various videotaped questions were played asking the candidates about their positions on a series of issues. One video from a woman religious with the Sisters of Life was played: "If elected, how would your party tackle these issues (abortion & euthanasia) and defend the rights of all Canadians from conception to natural death?"
Then Sorbara showed just how Catholic he really is.
Sorbara: "When it comes to women's reproductive rights, I personally support a woman's right to choose."
Sorbara's position was well known: He favors killing children in the womb — and yet, at this event hosted by Collins and his archdiocese, Sorbara was allowed to present himself as a vibrant Catholic, someone to be emulated in their faith. He's even a knight with the Knights of Columbus, after all.
Collin's dereliction of duty, just as a Catholic, much less a cleric and even more as Cardinal, is horrifying.
Leaders like this, not just in America but up and down the Church and across national borders, have betrayed the Faith in a manner not unlike the English bishops betrayed the Church under Henry VIII.
Ironic that Collins would begin that debate with comments and reflections about St. Thomas More, who had his head chopped off by the adulterous, murdering monarch precisely because he defended the same faith that the bishops and cardinals of England had betrayed.
Collins is a traitor to the Faith, not unlike hundreds of fellow bishops in Canada and around the world.
All we need to hear now is that he's started up a $400 million campaign drive. That would put him right on par with his fellow American ecclesiastical traitors to the Church.
TRANSCRIPT
Today is the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, an important feast day, certainly here in the Americas, where Our Lady of Guadalupe is celebrated as the patroness of the Americas.
As Christianity was being ripped apart in Europe in the 16th century by heretics who were fomenting the Protestant Revolt, Our Lady herself appeared in Mexico, and through her heavenly intercession brought millions of new Catholics into the Church.
What was lost in Europe was offset in the Americas. Estimates are that roughly nine million new Catholics came into the Church in the few years immediately following her appearance, setting the pattern for Central and South America to become almost exclusively Catholic for centuries to come.
Our Lady came to a Pachamama culture steeped in worship of false gods and human sacrifice — much like our culture today — including a culture promoted by many clerics, especially in Rome.
There was no dialogue; there was no accommodation; there was no compromise; there was no accompaniment with sinful circumstances. There was nothing but clarity: Give up your paganism and convert to the Catholic Church — and to provide proof of the divine command, the Queen of Heaven emblazoned Her heavenly image on the tilma of St. Juan Diego, signaling to a pagan culture that she was Queen, not Pachamama or any of the other false gods.
The Church has always been adamant in its call, a clarion call to the world: Repent and convert. Accept the gospel or perish.
This is Advent, and while many Catholics see this season as little else than a run-up to Christmas, the reality is it is actually a season to meditate on the Second Coming — the End of the World, the Last Day — when Jesus Christ will bring the curtain down on human history and assume His seat on the Judgment Throne.
It will be the General Judgment before all of humanity; every human being ever conceived will stand collectively before the Divine Judge and all will be shown the judgment of Heaven on humanity.
One of the reasons there will be a General Judgment is to ratify the truth of Jesus Christ as sovereign and to set the annals of human history straight before they are drawn to a close.
The last time humanity saw Jesus Christ, He was wrongly convicted and executed. That supreme injustice will be the first to be corrected. Caiaphas and Pontius Pilate will be standing there watching as Christ assumes the Judgment Seat, and His judgment will be final.
He was guilty of nothing, yet in the view of temporal history, He left this earth as a convicted criminal.
And while that was the worst injustice on the books, there are literally countless others that must also be corrected.
Archbishop Sheen, whose cause for sainthood, as you know, is once again being sabotaged by crooked prelates, said of the Last Day: "God has created another world to correct the injustices of this one."
But Holy Mother Church bids us to remember that the Last Day will be nothing more than the public ratification and announcement of the judgment each one of us will have received at our own private judgments at the moment of death.
Contrary to popular opinion — and the mindless ramblings of a multitude of bishops — we will each be judged by the King of Heaven at the moment of death.
While many Catholics and some Protestants fixate on the end of the world, we must never forget that each and every one of us will have an end to our individual world — death — and at that moment, every aspect of existence that we have known will crash to an end, never to be experienced again. This is the meaning of life. This is the meaning of our existence.
At that moment, not a single other thing will matter; they will all disappear. All that will matter is the state of our immortal soul —how it stands before God — saturated in sin or longing for Heaven.
And despite what false prophets like Bp. Robert Barron preach about the vast majority of humanity passing over this moment with ease, it is far from it.
Here at Church Militant, this Advent we are taking the first 15 minutes after lunch to do spiritual reading. We are doing this because the situation in the Church requires stepping back from the day-to-day and focusing on the final end.
Many of us are re-reading the very disturbing book The Four Last Things. Those four last things are Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell. The Church has long called this collection by the Greek word eschaton.
Every single one of us is going to die and be judged, and then we will be escorted to salvation or damned to Hell, a final reality that the Church of Pachamama never wants to talk about.
Listen to this brief section from the book The Four Last Things about the state of the soul at the moment of judgment:
Now for the first time her eyes are opened, and she sees clearly what eternity is, what sin is, what virtue is, how infinite is the being of the Deity, and how wondrous is her own nature.
All this will appear so marvelous to her that she will be almost petrified with astonishment. After the first instant of wonder, she will be conducted before the tribunal of God, that she may give an account of all her actions, and the terror that will then seize upon the unhappy soul surpasses our powers of conception.
Next consider in what manner thy Holy Judge will receive thee, when thou appearest before Him not merely laden with a countless multitude of sins, but in a state of indescribable impurity.
Thou wilt stand before Him in the greatest confusion, not knowing which way to look. Beneath thy feet Hell lies; above thee is the angry countenance of thy Judge.
Beside thee, thou seest the demons who are there to accuse thee. In thy own interior thou beholdest all thy sins and misdeeds. It is impossible to hide thyself, and yet this exposure is intolerable.
Do people like Barron really think that this moment is a walk in the park — a time when all of our sins, a lifetime of millions of sins — must be accounted for?
Even for the just — those who will be judged as worthy of Heaven — even for them an account must be given.
God hates sin and so must we. It's why we say in the Act of Contrition, "I detest all my sins."
We know that there are countless numbers of human beings who depart this life not only not detesting their sins, but actually embracing and loving them.
Their private judgments will be the first moment of an eternity of horror; do not believe what that false prophet tells you. We have no reasonable hope that all men are saved. If we did, why did the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven, come to the peoples of the Americas and convert them to the One True Faith?
Advent is a time for reflection on all this. Christmas is the time for gratitude that the Son of God came to provide us a way to be saved from all of this — damnation.
God's love is unconditional; salvation, however, is not.
TRANSCRIPT
Before we get into the tax hike the nation's bishops recently imposed on each other's dioceses, let's just say it's not the first time they've done it. Taxing the faithful in each other's diocese is how these men pay for all their schemes and bloated bureaucracies.
But let's not miss this point here — very important — the bishops just hiked taxes. Why? There's only one reason you hike taxes: because you need money. And that raises yet another question. Why? Why do you need more money?
This is the most expansive, explosive economy in living memory, stretching back almost to the 1950s. Judging from all the usual economic indicators, people practically have money to burn. In fact, you'd have to search high and low and turn over every economic rock you could find to discover any bad news. Consumer confidence is at an all-time high, and worker income is increasing in real-dollar terms.
Latinos' and blacks' unemployment rates have never been lower. Housing starts, retail sales, hiring, the stock market — you could go on and on and on. Eight million new jobs created in three years, five million off food stamps and welfare — there is not a single measure you could even point to and say maybe that will go south in a few months.
So unless you wanted to make the insane argument that the economic expansion has embraced everyone in America except Catholics, then the Catholic population is also basking in the glow of this explosive growth. That means Catholics have more money in their pockets as well.
President Trump's 2017 tax cut had already put more disposable income into Catholics' pockets, but then when the economy started kicking into high gear, Catholics — with the rest of the country — were reaping the benefits.
So with all this news — people (including Catholics) more flush with cash than any time since disco was king — why are the bishops standing on the outside jacking up taxes on each other? Are their sheep not sharing their largesse with their shepherds?
Money beginning to dry up for the bishops is owing to three major reasons, and each one is of their own doing:
So no matter if you are looking at Catholic money or government money, the jig is up.
But there are two sides of the balance sheet. One is income, as we have just reviewed. The other is expenses, and there the prelates are getting ripped up. It's gotten so bad trying to prop up their superstructure, they're now showing signs of desperation.
Not only are they taxing each other, which puts a whole new meaning to the old axiom of robbing Peter to pay Paul, but there is now the very real issue of being unable to fund pension plans of establishment retirees.
That's right, the very organization that has stolen money left and right from the plate — and paid thousands of employees to be part of it — are now going to steal from the retirement funds of those who worked for them. There is simply no end to their rot. Diocese after diocese will have to start dipping into those funds to meet increasing debts. In fact, it's already begun.
The archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with employees of St. James Hospital, who accuse the archdiocese of failing to fulfill its pension obligations; and the diocese of Providence Rhode, Island — under the weight of paying $21 million to sex abuse victims — failed to make its obligation to the St. Joseph Health Services pension account. The fund is $125 million short, by the way.
One respected expert in the area of pensions and retirements said the bishops are using their religious exemptions to avoid making their obligations, and you can expect more of this in the coming year. The government allows religious outfits to be exempt from the pension laws which apply to other businesses.
If churches were forced to meet pension fund obligations like businesses are, it might drive a church losing money to be driven out of operation, so they are allowed to short the pension fund if they want. Kind of a "too holy to fail."
Regardless, the bishops are feeling the pinch, and they're going to feel it a whole lot more in the coming year.
Too much debt and mounting every day — bankruptcies, sheltering properties in complex trust funds and shell corporations, not paying pension funds that retirees are counting on to carry them into their old age — there's nothing off the table.
And again, never forget, all of this is because a bunch of homosexual men got into seminary, became bishops, brought in other homosexual men, raped altar boys by the tens of thousands, stole money by the billions, seized operational control of the Church, abandoned the Faith and created a failing bureaucracy that is imploding under its own weight.
Think of all this when your local archbishop makes his phony appeal for the annual archdiocesan financial campaign.
TRANSCRIPT
The breakaway Catholic group known as the Society of St. Pius X ("SSPX") has a sex abuse issue, a cover-up issue as well as a homosexuality issue within its ranks. Let's dispatch with the cover-up issue first.
With the exception of a flurry of statements which kept being published, then taken down, then re-worded, re-published, taken down again and so forth, the SSPX has said practically nothing beyond vaguely admitting guilt and has actually done far less about its internal evils since Church Militant's groundbreaking investigations beginning in April.
In fact, in a stunning display of hubris, the society even published a statement a couple of weeks back to followers saying they should have an SSPX attorney present with them if/when they are ever questioned by investigators probing the sex abuse and any subsequent cover-up.
Even the modernist Church of Nice doesn't say or do that — at least not publicly. Imagine someone who is being questioned as part of discovering more details in an ongoing investigation being told by the group the investigation is targeting that they should have an attorney present from the targeted institution.
The person isn't under suspicion. State authorities are just doing what they do — which is trying to unearth facts. Yet the SSPX boasts it's "cooperating" with investigators. Any normal person would look at the reality and say they are trying to obscure, interfere with and steer the investigation, not cooperate with it.
Moving on from cover-up to what is being covered up — it's sex abuse. Church Militant has reported multiple cases of sex abuse involving male minors as well as adult women and teenage girls. One former priest (who was found guilty but scurried away to a location near SSPX headquarters to avoid justice) was finally apprehended by police specifically because of our reporting.
No one in the SSPX leadership contacted authorities to report him. It was our reporting that ended him up behind bars. And yes, he'd abused children. Likewise, we have reported that in a large number of the sex abuse cases involving the SSPX priests, the very top leadership knew all about it and kept transferring the priests around, covering up for them, blocking investigations by secular authorities, transgressing agreements with the Vatican and so forth.
This is not an honest group of men. And no, it's not a case of a couple bad apples. When the leadership across the board is involved in all this and lies, obscures and so forth — that's not just a few bad apples. It's most especially egregious when you consider what the society has presented itself as.
Their members claim to be (or reference) what they call "Eternal Rome." What they mean by that is only they have kept true to the Church, holding fast to the teachings, Liturgy and so forth. In short, the correct understanding and practice of the Deposit of Faith has been deposited in them; therefore, the society enjoys a certain type of privilege.
That's complete hogwash. The only "privilege" the SSPX enjoys is the ability to blind some of its followers to the reality of its evils in the areas of sex abuse, cover-up and homosexuality. And speaking of homosexuality, it has now come to light that some men being ordained for the SSPX were known to be homosexual while they were in seminary.
While this may not come as a surprise in the Church of Nice where being homosexual practically is a requirement to be ordained, it seems, in the SSPX or "Eternal Rome," there is the claim among leadership that no homosexual men are being ordained.
Well, that's a lie — another lie. In 2016, a young man by the name of Francis Palmquist was ordained for the SSPX. His training and formation had taken place at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary, which, at the time, was located in Winona, Minnesota.
Palmquist's seminary rector was Fr. Yves le Roux. Church Militant has spoken with a seminarian who went to school with Palmquist and was hit on by Palmquist once. Likewise, the seminarian knew of multiple complaints from others about Palmquist made to the rector, le Roux.
Palmquist went on to be ordained (as we said, in 2016) and was assigned to Mexico where he underwent a crisis about a year later. As an SSPX priest, he began a romantic relationship with a local guy and eventually left the society and the priesthood to live an openly gay life.
He now runs a tattoo parlor in Guadalajara and lives with his Mexican boyfriend. On his own Facebook page, Palmquist freely admits that while in seminary he confessed his struggles with homosexuality to his spiritual director.
Yet despite his struggles and despite the complaints (which were general knowledge), le Roux advanced him on for ordination, which precipitated a crisis in the young man's life and presumably still disturbs him on some level.
Palmquist has a Facebook page ("I Am Judas Project") and in a very telling revelation from last month, says of his pain and struggles with same-sex attraction while in seminary and afterward, "I remember waiting at least a month for a response from the head superior of my congregation. I went to him as a child to his father, begging for help, and he was too busy to respond."
There is no other way to characterize that other than sad. What's more, Church Militant has been told that in follow up conversations with Palmquist, le Roux has said he would welcome him back to the society as a priest if he leaves his lifestyle.
And let's be very clear: This is not about the young man and his struggles with homosexuality — God help him. It's about the neglect for him from within the SSPX. Palmquist is a casualty as much as anything — a man who has the indelible mark of priesthood forever emblazoned on his soul is now living in Mexico with a boyfriend giving tattoos for a living.
None of what le Roux did, of course, was criminal; but it was unethical and immoral. Add that to the actions of the society at large — which are criminal — as well as the attraction to Nazi lore of too many priests and followers, and all that on top of what many former priests and followers have called a "cult" and there is a serious problem here.
It's made especially serious because, first, the Church is in a crisis the likes of which she has never seen before; and, second, this group holds itself up as the remedy to the crisis, as the "Eternal Rome," and dresses itself up in the pomp and circumstance of the Traditional Latin Mass, which can easily fool unsuspecting or unquestioning Catholic refugees from the Church of Nice.
Whatever the definition of "traditionalists" may be, this group gives it a bad name and mars all other Catholics trying to appeal to tradition and orthodoxy as a remedy to the crisis.
Within the Catholic social media world, there are various well-known websites and personalities who rely, at least in part, for their personal support from the SSPX crowd.
On top of that, they are personally sympathetic to the larger cause of combatting the crisis — a good thing — but as a result, are willing to fall silent about the sins of the SSPX because of their personal relationship with each other.
They will not cover these stories. They will not condemn the filth, despite the fact that they were tripping all over each other (and still do) to go on and on about the evils in the Church of Nice. That's hypocritical, and it does a huge disservice to the average Catholic who listens to or reads them. In fact, it's dishonest.
To willfully conceal the truth, to make an editorial decision to not report an evil, is to be complicit in the cover-up.
And to do that to continue to curry favor with the followers of SSPX so they will continue to listen to you and support you financially is no different than what the Church of Nice Catholic establishment media does. It's lies and deception employed to keep you in the lifestyle you've grown accustomed to.
What about the victims of these priests? Are they not worthy of having a voice? You all gave a voice to the string of victims of the Church of Nice in a heartbeat. But victims of the exalted SSPX, they can never be spoken to because the illusion would be shattered, and you in your turn would become subject to the same vile attacks Church Militant has received for exposing all this.
We'll ask the same question we ask of the Catholic establishment media: How do you sleep at night? The SSPX is not the salvation of the Church. Perhaps, maybe, at its founding there was something of that present as an intention.
But that was almost a half-century ago, and since then, the society has adopted an attitude of disobedience and has steered off course accordingly. This adoration of the Latin Mass for its own sake is preposterous. The Church fell apart when the Latin Mass was the only Liturgy there was.
The SSPX is no more "Eternal Rome" than the Church of Nice. Obedience and orthodoxy are what's needed. An end to the lies, cover-up and complicity of Catholic bloggers who have a personal dog in the fight — all of this has got to go.
Remember, those of us whom Our Lord has blessed with a microphone have a much greater responsibility to tell the truth!
