And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

And by this, you will know them.

Advent has arrived once again, and with its arrival, the twisted theology of the "homoheretics" is in full bloom as well, never missing an opportunity to make the sinful acceptable.

James Martin, a "gay theology" priest of the gay-riddled Jesuits, has kicked the season off quite well. And, as usual, expect no recrimination from any bishop or superior, not even a word of caution to the laity.

On Sunday, Martin tweeted out the following: "Gospel: Something new is coming. That's the message for the First Sunday of Advent. The key is noticing. 'Stay awake,' as Jesus says today. "A Gospel meditation here."

Martin claims the message for Advent is noticing that "something new is coming." He calls that noticing key. That's stupid. That's not the message, nor is it what's key about the first Sunday of Advent or any of the Sundays of Advent. Advent is about the second coming of Christ, also known as the Day of Judgment.

The inane claim that we are all supposed to just stand around and notice the King-Judge of Heaven returning to bring history to a close and render our final judgment? Come on, Jimmy. I don't think anyone will have to try and notice Christ on the clouds of Heaven. It'll be pretty obvious.

Then he goes on and links his hundreds of thousands of deceived followers to a Facebook link, with a tidy little "meditation" to ponder. The drivel drives the reader into a false belief that Advent is really just all about desire.

No, Jimmy. Advent is about preparation for our deaths when we will each face our personal judgment and be pronounced saved or damned. That is a day-to-day theme for every person, but in Advent, in particular, it is set against the backdrop of the last day, the general judgment.

There is a little link at the end of the wildly misleading meditation which takes the reader to the group "Outreach," an LGBTQ "Catholic" resource. That group espouses all the usual pro-sodomy propaganda you would imagine, dressing it up as Catholic.

Martin and his co-gay, wicked allies are the absolute masters at distorting everything they can in Scripture, to give the "Good Housekeeping" seal of approval to sins of the flesh, especially gay sex. Of course, they have a dog in that fight, so that's to be expected.

Notice that Evil Jimmy, while lauding the "beauty" of the first reading from Isaiah and distorting the words of Our Lord in the gospel, deftly managed to completely avoid the second reading — St. Paul's Letter to the Romans, with its dire warning about the need to change our lives, lest we be damned:

"Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and lust. ... Make no provision for the desires of the flesh." Hmm, we wonder why that line didn't get the high-profile visibility. 

Nah. Actually, we don't wonder at all. We know why, and so do you, and so does James Martin. That line is as plain as the evil in Martin's writings, which is to say, as plain as the nose on your face.

Abp. Viganò: The Vatican must withdraw its support of the ‘disastrous’ COVID shots

Last year, on October 23, 2021, I wrote a letter to the President of the United States Bishops’ Conference, which was also sent to you, in which I expressed – as I have already done publicly – my very strong reservations on various extremely controversial aspects regarding the moral legitimacy of the use of experimental gene serums produced using mRNA technology. In that letter, which was written with the help of eminent scientists and virologists, I highlighted the need to update the Note on the morality of using some anti-Covid-19 vaccines, due to the scientific evidence that had emerged even then and moreover had been declared by the pharmaceutical manufacturers themselves.

Permit me, Your Eminence, to renew my appeal in the light of recent declarations made by Pfizer to the European Parliament and the publication of official data by the world health agencies.

First of all, I remind you that the document from the Dicastery over which you preside was promulgated on December 21, 2020, in the absence of complete data about the nature of the gene serum and its components, and also without any results from the efficacy and safety trials. The subject of the Note was limited to the “moral aspects of the use of the vaccines against Covid-19 that have been developed from cell lines derived from tissues obtained from two fetuses that were not spontaneously aborted.” The Congregation further reiterated: “We do not intend to judge the safety and efficacy of these vaccines, although ethically relevant and necessary, as this evaluation is the responsibility of biomedical researchers and drug agencies.” Safety and efficacy were thus not the subject of the Note, which in expressing an opinion about the “moral aspects of the use” did not deem it appropriate to comment on the “morality of the production” of these drugs.

The safety and efficacy of the individual vaccines should have been established after a period of experimentation, which normally takes several years. But in this case the health authorities have decided to carry out the experimentation on the entire population, departing from the normal practice of the scientific community, international regulations, and the laws of individual nations. The results that are now emerging from the official data published in all the countries that adopted the mass vaccine campaign are incontestably disastrous: it is emerging that people who have been subjected to inoculation with the experimental serum not only have never been protected from contagion by the virus, nor from grave forms of illness, but they have actually been made more vulnerable to Covid-19 and its variants due to the irreversible compromising of their immune systems caused by mRNA technology. The data also highlights serious short- and long-term effects, such as sterility, the inducement of miscarriages in pregnant women, the transmission of the virus to children through breastfeeding, the development of serious heart conditions including myocarditis and pericarditis, the return of cancerous tumors that had previously been cured, and a whole series of other debilitating diseases. The many cases of sudden deaths – which until recently were stubbornly considered as having no relation to inoculation with the serum – are revealing the consequence of repeated doses, even in people who are young, healthy, and physically fit. Members of the military, who are rigorously controlled by health personnel for safety reasons, are showing the same incidence of adverse effects after receiving the serum. Countless studies are now confirming that the serum may cause forms of acquired immunodeficiency in those who receive it. Worldwide, the number of deaths and grave pathologies following vaccination is increasing exponentially. These vaccines have caused more deaths than all other vaccines combined in the last thirty years. And not only this: in many nations the number of those who have died after vaccination is significantly higher than the number of those who died from Covid.

...

The imposition of the experimental serum took place through a coordinated employment of methods that was unprecedented in recent history, using mass manipulation techniques that are well known to psychology experts. In this operation of media terrorism and the violation of the natural rights of individuals, accompanied by intolerable blackmail and discrimination, the Catholic Hierarchy chose to take sides with the system, making itself the promoter of “vaccines,” even reaching the point of recommending them as a “moral duty.” The media skillfully used the spiritual authority of the Roman Pontiff and his media influence to confirm the mainstream narrative, and this was an essential element in the success of the entire vaccination campaign, convincing many of the faithful to undergo inoculation because of the trust they have placed in the Pope and his global role. The vaccination obligations imposed on employees of the Holy See, following the lines of protocols imposed in other nations, have confirmed the Vatican’s absolute alignment with extremely careless and reckless positions that are completely void of any scientific validity. This has exposed the Vatican City State to possible liability on the part of its officials, with a further burden on its treasury; and the possibility should not be excluded that the faithful may bring collective lawsuits against their own Pastors, who have been converted into salesmen of dangerous medicines. After more than two years, the Church has not considered it necessary to make any statement to correct the Note, which in the light of new scientific evidence is now outdated and substantially contradicted by the harsh reality of the facts.

Limiting itself strictly to an evaluation of the morality of the use of the vaccines, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has not taken account of the proportionality between the benefits of the gene serum – which have been completely absent – and the short- and long-term adverse side-effects which are now before everyone’s eyes. Since it is now evident that the drugs sold as vaccines do not give any significant benefit and on the contrary may cause a very high percentage of death or serious diseases even in people for whom Covid is not a serious threat, it is no longer possible to consider valid any attempt to demonstrate a proportionality between risks and benefits, thus eliminating one of the assumptions on which the Note was based: “The morality of vaccination depends not only on the duty to protect one’s own health, but also on the duty to pursue the common good. In the absence of other means to stop or even prevent the epidemic, the common good may recommend vaccination, especially to protect the weakest and most exposed”. We know well that there is no “absence of other means,” and that the serum neither stops nor prevents the epidemic: this makes the mRNA “vaccine” produced with aborted cell lines not only morally inacceptable but also absolutely dangerous for one’s health, and in the case of pregnant women also for the health of their children.

The Church, in expressing a moral evaluation of the vaccines, cannot fail to take into consideration the many elements that contribute to formulating an overall judgment. The Congregation cannot limit itself to the general theory of the moral lawfulness of the drug in itself – a lawfulness that is completely questionable given its ineffectiveness, the absence of tests of its genotoxicity and carcinogenicity, and the evidence of side-effects. Instead, the Congregation must speak out about this fact as soon as possible: Now that the complete uselessness of the serums “to stop or even prevent the epidemic” has been demonstrated, it can no longer be administered, and indeed there is a moral obligation for health authorities and drug companies to recall it as something dangerous and harmful, and for the individual faithful to refuse inoculation.

I further believe, Most Reverend Eminence, that the time has come for the Holy See to definitively distance itself from those private entities and multinational corporations that have believed that they can use the authority of the Catholic Church to endorse the neo-malthusian project of the United Nations’ Agenda2030 and the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. It not tolerable that the voice of the Church of Christ continues to be complicit in a plan to reduce the global population based on the chronic pathologization of humanity and the induction of sterility; and this is even more necessary in the face of the scandalous conflict of interests to which the Holy See is exposed by accepting sponsorship and funding from the architects of these criminal plans.

To His Most Reverend Eminence Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, SJ Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, 18 October 2022

And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

Make the right buy.

In these troubling times — times, it appears, are only going to grow more troubling — various knee-jerk reactions have set in with some good people. Emotionally ill-equipped for the abyss of evil they find themselves staring into, they either deny it or downplay its significance.

They routinely poo-poo the reality of the crisis — attacking the messengers, making up excuses; whatever works best for them. You can refer to this group as the "whistling-past-the-graveyard gang."

But there is another very common "knee-jerk reaction crowd" as well. We can call this gang "the silver bullet contingent." They understand the evil and its depth facing them square in the face, but instead of admitting the long-haul battle needed to combat it, they scramble about for a silver bullet — the easy-way-out approach.

So they are more inclined to turn to prophecies and visions and inner locutions. They follow after anyone who comes along with a quick cure for what ails the world.

Both types, the whistle-past-the-graveyard gang and the silver-bullet contingent, are off base. They may be motivated by good intentions of wanting things to be right, but as the old saying goes — one that exists for a reason — the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

What needs to be embraced, in all its horror and consequent realities, is this: The world, including the Church, did not arrive at this point suddenly — and it will not pull back from it with denial or a quick cure. Where we are was arrived at over a long period of time: many players, many moving parts but one goal in mind — the destruction of Catholicism.

The change must be Catholic.

I'm coming to you from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where the famous battle was fought during this nation's Civil War. The fate of the nation, as a united nation, really hung on the outcome of this battle, as Pickett's forces marched across the field to attack the Union forces on Cemetery Ridge.

We're here because the fate of the nation once again is in the balance, some believing it may already be determined and lost. How did we get to the point where we are now? The ultimate answer is quite simple: There are foundational problems with America.

One of those problems resulted in the massacre and tremendous loss of life right here in Gettysburg. But the foundational problem now laid bare is of a different magnitude and kind.

America was founded on political principles that, when carried to their extreme, allow for the defiance of the natural law and for the political order to revolve around a rejection of the good and true, if enough citizens desire that.

Well, the question of cheating itself aside, it is now clear that too many Americans have, in fact, chosen to reject the good and the true.

This has been true all the way back to the Garden of Eden, but here's the rub: The U.S. government foundationally accepts that a citizenry is free to do this if a majority choose to.

The Vortex — Facing Reality

And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

Sooner or later, you have to.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, a majority of Americans, 57%, are willing to concede that the election outcomes may have been influenced by cheating. And, interestingly, it would appear that a majority believe mail-in balloting has become the vehicle for this.

It's the same states that seem to keep having problems counting in a timely fashion, and election officials there conventionally blame all their counting woes on the vast number of mail-ins. It's also those same states where the close elections always tip in favor of the Democrats as the counting goes on and batches of ballots keep appearing.

And, of course, the media is right there to explain that this is just how it works, and everyone has to just calm down. However, and this is where the rubber hits the road, there is an unwillingness to actually deal with the actual reality underlying any chicanery that has taken place.

If cheating has happened — now in two successive elections — it is proof that we have reached the point in America where it can happen. It should never have gotten to this point, but it has.

It's almost like the superior team complaining about a bad referee call that cost them the game against an inferior foe. While that may be true and maybe even very likely, if the team was so good, it should never have been in that position to begin with — where the entire game comes down to a bad call.

But that's where American politics has now descended to. A majority of Americans are, at least, suspicious and distrusting of the outcome, and so what? Are there mass protests in the streets like in Venezuela?

Are there demonstrations in front of governors' mansions in the affected states? Are there pickets outside the homes of the secretaries of state who were likely involved in all this (if indeed it did happen)?

For that matter, where were all the voters, years ago, when the Marxists were slowly taking control and putting themselves in a position to steal outcomes?

Here's the bottom line, the reality that needs to be squarely faced: America simply has not suffered enough yet. It will. Oh, it certainly will.

Sometimes, one moment reveals everything.

Some of you may have heard me relate the following before, but given the times, it bears repeating, and for the record, which will become clear, I was an eyewitness to this.

I attended freshman year of high school, the second semester anyway, in San Francisco's Sacred Heart school. The year was 1976, so the country's bicentennial happened while we were living in the City by the Bay.

We had an apartment directly across the street from St. Mary's Cathedral, the temple to modernism that looks like a washing machine agitator — horribly ugly, surpassed only by the ugliness of Cdl. Mahony's Los Angeles monstrosity.

Anyway, the celebration of the country's 200th birthday was occasioned by a noon Mass at the cathedral, where Abp. Fulton Sheen was the guest homilist. I was one of the lead altar boys at the cathedral and served at the Mass. I got to hear Sheen preach about faith and patriotism.

I heard him with my own ears, sitting barely 10 feet behind him. His words were so powerful, so moving, so touching that I used them a few years later in a story I did on July 4 when I was a reporter in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

But it would not be those words that would make the lasting mark in my memory — what I think of as "the Sheen moment." In fact, most in attendance that day at the bicentennial Mass did not hear what I heard. A few did; including my father, who stood in the doorway to the sacristy.
