Dear Reader,

It is with great joy and unwavering commitment to the truth that we introduce ✝PRAEDICATIO, a new column on The Catholic Trumpet. Here, you will find faithful transcriptions of sermons and conferences from uncompromising traditional Catholic priests who, like +Archbishop Lefebvre, stand firm in defense of the integral Catholic Faith. These priests resist and reject the errors, heresies, and compromises of Vatican II and modernist Rome, carrying forward the fight for the Social Kingship of Christ.

This new column is more than just words on a page—it is a weapon in the fight for Christ the King. The priests whose voices are featured here speak with clarity, conviction, and fidelity to the true Catholic Faith, untainted by the errors that have swept through the Church. We continue to uphold the mission of The Catholic Trumpet: to defend the truth, expose compromise, and preserve the Catholic Faith as it has always been taught.

We have taken great care to ensure the accuracy of these transcriptions. However, should you find any mistakes, please reach out to us at Thomasthecatholictrumpet@gmail.com. You can look forward to French and Spanish translations of these sermons in the near future, so that no one is deprived of these precious words.

In this column, you will only find the sermons of priests who refuse to compromise, who fight for the true Mass, the true Sacraments, and the integral Catholic doctrine. This is our duty as Catholics, and this is the stand we take—firm and unwavering.

Thank you for standing with us. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary guide you and your loved ones as we continue this battle together.


Vive le Christ Roi!

"Call of Christ the King, When Bishops Spoke As Bishops"

by Fr. David Hewko

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.

Come Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of thy faithful, and enkindle in them the fire of thy Divine love. Send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created, and thou shalt renew the face of the earth. Let us pray. O God, who by the Light of the Holy Ghost, Has instructed the hearts of thy faithful, grant us by the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation, through the same Christ Our Lord, Amen.

Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, pray for us.
St. Januarius, pray for us.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.

This is the meditation on the call of Christ the King. The call of Christ the King. You can find this meditation laid out on page 96 (of) the old book. St. Ignatius has the title: “Call of Christ the King”. He has on it the reign of Christ the King. But He’s the call. He calls and invites us to battle with Him, and this priest makes the comparison of St. Louis IX and St. Bernard who preached the Crusades to rally the Catholic Nobles and the people to fight for the defense of Christendom: to go on the Crusades.

St. Louis IX will lead two Crusades. That had to be a huge, huge endeavor, with a lot of expense, a lot of sacrifice, and from all over Europe they went. What was the call? It was the call of Christ the King to come and fight. Why? Because the Muslims were slaughtering the women, children, (and) men. They were persecuting the pilgrims coming to the Holy Land. Page 96, and the men responded because it was the defense of Christendom.

And In every great Catholic battle—Lepanto, Vienna 1683, and the great Cristeros of Mexico, the great Vendeans and the Flemish at the French Revolution—it was the same invitation: to call to resist the oppression and extinguishing of the reign of Christ the King. That was the efforts of the Revolution, and that's always been the efforts of the Freemasons and the synagogue of Satan, to suppress Christ the King, get rid of Him! "We will not have this man reign over us!"

So our invitation now is more intense than ever because the invitation now is (to) defend the entire Catholic faith, the integral Catholic faith, and the true Mass, and the true Sacraments, and the integral Catholic doctrine and many people don't want this. They want the liturgy, but they don't want to fight the errors of the Novus Ordo; the false ideas that all religions lead to God, which is right in the texts of Vatican II. So Pope Francis is just quoting Vatican II. So, everybody's pointing the finger at Pope Francis, but it's Vatican II that needs to be condemned, and buried, and sent back to hell where it came from.

Let’s see the second point that he makes is: “Our Lord Jesus Christ, He invites us.” The middle of page 99: "My will, the most just of all wills, is from the height of My cross to draw all to Me, to enter into the possession of My domain-the world, to subjugate all My enemies for their salvation, and as a peaceful conqueror and master, universally obeyed by all the earth, to introduce with Me into the glory of My Father all these men redeemed by My blood."

"Let those who would share My crown accompany Me, follow Me. Their eternal reward will be proportioned to their labors and their efforts." Page 99, on the bottom: "Let us moreover conceive, not only what we must offer of our entire selves, Let us moreover conceive not only that we must offer to follow Him in bodily works and fatigues but also that we owe Him a more worthy and precious service—the struggle and the victory against our flesh, our senses, and our self-love: the love of the world. Let us say, weighing all the circumstances of this sublime vocation.”

“Who is it that calls us?” Bottom of page 99: “Who calls us? It is God, a God who Has every right to our submission, the right of His infinite perfections. We cannot belong to ourselves; we must belong to God or to our passions. We have only the choice of the one yoke or the other. Which appears the most honorable? The right of creation that God Has. What are we? What have we? All that we are, all that we have, comes from God, and consequently belongs to God. Shall we disown, violate towards Him alone, the right of property that reason and justice consecrate in human society?"

“God Has also the right of redemption.” Top of page 100. "The right of Redemption. A thing belongs to us if we buy it with our money, still more if we purchase it by long and hard labor, yet more would it appear so if bought with our blood. But what are we with regard to Jesus Christ? We are the price of all His wealth, the price of all His sufferings, the price of His blood and His death. 'Know you not that you are not your own, for you are bought with a great price? Saint Paul (1 Corinthians 6:19).’ ”

Next paragraph: “To what enterprise does Jesus Christ call us? To the most noble and most heroic that can be proposed in this enterprise, this campaign, this battle, this resistance to the Revolution.”- which is what we really are, the Catholic resistance.

“Consider the enemies to be combated in this enterprise: In this enterprise all is great. Consider first the enemies to be combatted: the devil, the world, our own hearts. What are the weapons? The Catholic faith, prayer, humility, patience, self-denial, charity, (and) zeal. Who are our companions in the battle? The most illustrious that the world ever saw—the apostles, the martyrs, the penitents, in one word, all the saints.”

When +Archbishop Lefebvre was asked, "Don't you feel alone in this battle? Don't you feel a little bit lonely since modern Rome has condemned you and all the Bishops are against you and most of the world is going with the Novus Ordo? Don’t you feel a bit lonely like you’re being a little finnatical here or exaggerated, you’re a rebel, you’re dissident, you’re a disobedient.” And +Archbishop Lefebvre said exactly these words: “I'm not alone. I have all the saints. I have all the Popes with me. Because I have all the Popes who condemned liberalism on my side."

And that's a very important point +Archbishop Lefebvre wanted us to realize that our fight for Catholic tradition is the fight of all the good popes, down to Pius XII, who was the last of the great Popes. And it was Pope Pius VI, who started condemning the errors of the Revolution. He condemned the oath of the civil constitution of the clergy at the French Revolution. He condemned the declaration of the rights of man, which was written by the Freemasons. And then you’ve got Pope Gregory XVI, in Mirari Vos, who condemned separation of Church and state, condemned freedom of the press, freedom of conscience. It’s a great encyclical which we will study in detail.

And then you’ve got the great Pope Pius IX, with the Syllabus of Errors condemning some of the main errors of the modern world such as Communism, Socialism, that the Pope has to change the church and change the doctrine to fit the modern world- to adapt to the modern civilization. So the Church has to now accept that Genesis is a myth and evolution is the way to go because Science says so. He condemns that. He condemns that. And now Science is actually showing that the earth is actually very young- 6000 years and there was a huge flood of Noah and honest science is showing this more and more and more. Science bows down to Theology and to Revelation, not Revelation to modern science. And then Pius IX condemned the idea that all religions lead to God. The syllabus condemns Vatican 2, condemns Pope Francis, and John Paul II and Benedict XVI.

He was succeeded by another great Pope, Pope Leo XIII who wrote encyclical after encyclical affirming the Catholic doctrine against the modern errors. After Pope Leo XIII was the great St. Pius X and he condemned the modernism and didn’t spare them.

And then Pope Pius XI, wrote the encyclical on the Kingship of Christ (Quas Primas, in 1925). And then (comes) Pius XII. Benedict XV is in there too but he at least finished the old code of Canon Law that Pius the X wanted. So all these Popes- +Archbishop Lefebvre said we are fighting the same battle of all these Popes. And that's what's needed now- generous souls who are willing to basically die for Our Lord and take every insult, every deprivation, every mockery for His sake. And to defend the true Catholic faith , the true Catholic mass, and without any compromise.

And that's why the whole situation now with Trump- it's throwing a curveball for many Catholics because 2016 Trump was pro life- he was worth voting for and he had many good policies and he did help the country. And he overthrew Roe v Wade at least brought it to the state level, but he never smashed it the way he should have. He’s very much friends with the Freemasons, he claims to be one. He’s very very all about backing Israel and that's not a good sign, so now in 2024 he has slidden, he has really slid and this puts us Catholics in a tough situation. Do we vote for him or not? He’s a lot of good policies, but he's now pro abortion. No matter what he says about incest and rape, or him and Vance are totally for the abortion pill which will cause more abortions than you can count. It's horrifying.

So He has slid in a big way and now he’s going to go to the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa of Our Lady in Pennsylvania, with the President of Poland. But you know, either Trump will have the grace to realize: I can’t insult Our Lady like this, come and honor her shrine, but back abortion, killing babies even in the first few days or weeks or months, it's still murder. He can't insult Our Lady like that, and that's what it's going to be if he goes, honors Our Lady yet keeps his policies. So either he’ll go totally Pro Life ban and condemn abortion and take all the steps he can to uproot it and honor Our Lady truthfully, or he’ll just be one of the many hypocrites that honor Our Lady with their lips but insult her and Our Lord with their actions.

So “Who are the companions in this long battle that we are in still for Catholic tradition and the faith? The apostles, the martyrs, the penitents, all the saints. Who is our leader in this battle? It is Jesus Christ” Middle of page 100. “It is Jesus Christ Himself, but Jesus Christ who combats in us by His grace, and who already a conqueror in so many saints, wishes to conquer in each one of us and in the hearts of all mankind.”

Lastly, “The motive and end- our purpose. What is the purpose of this combat? It is to bestow on all the captives of Jesus Christ the true liberty, glory, (and) happiness. To restore them to the way, the truth and the life, and that is only in Our Lord Jesus Christ” and His Catholic Church of tradition. Needless to say, the Catholic Church of tradition. That's the only light for the future. Socialism is death. Communism is death and destruction and damnation of many souls.

Modern democracy- you heard Bishop Sheen. He didn’t see the depth that +Archbishop Lefebvre saw. Bishop Sheen at least in this talk, it wasn’t so great. He was praising Thomas Jefferson, as if he was opposed to the French Revolutionary thinkers, Mr. Saint-Just But Thomas Jefferson was a mason with them. He was continuing the same revolution. He was a brother with them. And he’s the one that said, Thomas Jefferson: “I have sworn eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” What's that mean?  I have sworn hostility. In other words I have declared eternal war against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. Well what tyranny is he talking about? It’s the tyranny, well he calls it tyranny, but we are bound to believe all that God Has revealed and He’s calling that tyranny. The tyranny of the Catholic Church- its imposing on us what we must believe to save our soul. But yeah God Has done that He imposed on us what we must believe. This is called Divine Revelation and it’s contained in all of Scripture and Tradition. Both, not one without the other. Scripture and tradition are the pillars of Revelation.

So the purpose of this combat is to fight with Our Lord, to spread His reign on this earth as much as we can and to obtain heaven.

“What are the conditions of this enterprise, this war, this battle?” Number 3, page 100. “to partake in the labors of Jesus Christ. That we may afterwards partake of His glory. But let us remark well that the sacrifices that Jesus asks of us, He Has first accomplished Himself. He asks of us humility. He first humiliated Himself.  If He asks renouncement of us, He first renounced Himself. He Has done more. He Has gone beyond what He asks of us. He humbled Himself, even to annihilation, to the Cross. He renounced Himself to the Cross. The sacrifices that Jesus Christ demands are sweetened by the unction of His grace. The cross has been without alleviation for Him alone. For His servants, He lightens the weight with consolations.” So even when following Our Lord, He gives many consolations in this fight for heaven. “He alone can say the full force of the words: “My soul is sorrowful even unto death”. He enables His servants to say”, Top of 101, "I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulations. (St. Paul  2 Corinthians 7) The sacrifices that Jesus Christ asks of us are only passing; a short period of combat, (but) an eternity of reward. If He asks Humility of us, He first humiliated Himself. If He asks renouncement of us, He has first renounced Himself. He Has done more. He Has gone beyond what He asks of us. He humbled Himself even to annihilation. He renounced Himself even to the Cross.”

4 “Let us consecrate ourselves generously to the service of so great and magnificent a master and say to Him, from 2 Kings 15: "Behold me at Thy feet, Supreme Monarch of the Universe. Without doubt I am unworthy to march after Thee but full of confidence in Thy grace and protection, I consecrate myself to Thee without reserve. All that I am and all that I possess I submit to Thy holy will. I declare before Thy infinite goddess in the presence of the Virgin Mother, of my Savior and of all the heavenly court that my desire, my unalterable resolution, my determined will is to follow Thee as nearly as possible, detached in spirit from the things of this earth and if Thou shouldst will it, really poor, humble of heart and if that also is Thy will partaking in all Thy humiliations and all Thy ignominies. Living and dying at the post where the interests of Thy glory and my salvation and Thy Divine Call may have placed me. As the Lord liveth and as my Lord the King liveth, in what place soever Thou shalt be, my Lord King, either in death or in life, there will Thy servant be.”

So you can use that as part of the meditation in this powerful meditation. The Invitation of Christ to follow Him, to follow Him, and this is really the call of Our battle right now: The desperate need of traditional Catholic Priests who are not going to compromise with liberalism, and Vatican II and the New Mass; Who are not modernists. Who will fight it and vocally so. Vocally so, oppose the errors with our barking. It’s not enough to oppose the error and be silent like the fake resistance- this is what they’re doing. Oh they don’t like Vatican II but they might say something about it here or there. They don’t like the compromise of Bishop Fellay, but don't speak too loudly, don't say it from the pulpits.  It's a false resistance. That's exactly what it is, It's a false resistance.

Listen to this powerful bishop who knew +Archbishop Lefebvre. I quoted him the other day. His name is Bishop Gerard de Proença Sigaud, Bishop Gerard de Proença. He’s spanish speaking. Sigaud. This is a bishop's exhortation. He wrote this in a letter to Domenico Cardinal Tardini, August 22nd, 1959. He wrote this letter, and you would think it came from +Archbishop Lefebvre or Archbishop Vigano, and it's right before Vatican II.

Remember, Vatican II will be from 1962 to 65. 62 to 65, and that will be the time bomb exploding in the Church. It was an explosion, the worst disaster in the history of the Church, and it's still the worst disaster right now, because everything Pope Francis is doing and John Paul II and Benedict XVI and Paul VI was all in the name of Vatican II. So here's what this great bishop said, and he was part of the Cetus Internationalis Patrum, the group of international priests that +Archbishop Lefebvre was head of, actually, and he wrote this letter saying, these are the errors of our day. We must combat them, and we must also have a program for the reign of Christ the King. That's basically what the letter is about. Very good.

Here's what he says, “The Revolution: A war to the death against the Church.” So he's not under any illusions. “When I consider the present Catholic life in my country and in other parts of the world, I can see a lot of things which are a sign of life and which are certainly a source of consolation for every soul who loves the Church of Christ, but I also see certain signs which cause great alarm. These are so grave that I think they should be taken into consideration by the Preparatory Pontifical Commission to the Ecumenical Council, Vatican II, and afterwards by the council itself as well.”

So obviously what he says in this letter was chucked. They could care less about what he says here, but what he says here is excellent and in line with all the great popes.

“I can see that the principles and the spirit of what we call The Revolution are penetrating the clergy and the Christian people, just as in the past, the principles, doctrine, spirit, and love of paganism penetrated into medieval society, resulting in a pseudo-reform.”

So he's talking about the Renaissance Period, the over-adulation of Greece and Rome, bringing back nudity, bringing back the sensuality, bringing back the man-centeredness of the pagan world. You see that in, for example, the art of Michelangelo. You see Gerber babies in bare bottoms floating all over the Sistine Chapel. That's the Renaissance Art, right? And +Archbishop Lefebvre mentions that, actually, as this spirit of paganism entering into the thinking of Catholics.

And then he says this, “Many among the clergy”, that's bishops, priests, and cardinals, “Many among the clergy do not discern the errors of the Revolution anymore, nor resist them.”

So that's more than ever now. Who's resisting the errors now? The only episcopal voice that's speaking loud and clear is Archbishop Vigano and Bishop Williamson, sometimes, sometimes except he's mixed in this whole New Mass nonsense, unfortunately. So he says they're not resisting The Revolution anymore. The only ones doing it are the Catholic resistance, and not the fake resistance either.

“They propagated The Revolution and collaborate with it. They persecute and speak evil of the adversaries of the revolution and hinder their apostolate.”

Isn't this true? And Pope Paul VI tried to smash tradition by punishing +Archbishop Lefebvre with a phony suspension. Then Pope John Paul II tries to smash Catholic tradition by punishing +Archbishop Lefebvre with a null and void excommunication. And now Pope Francis just leveled a phony excommunication on Archbishop Vigano. It doesn't hold. Because why is he excommunicated? Because he's just keeping the faith and opposing the errors of Vatican II and these modernist popes. And he's calling into question this Pope Francis.

So to smash tradition, they try to silence them. And then if they can't silence them, they persecute them. And that's what happened to the SSPX. They put them in a position of silence by offering them all these deals. We'll give you jurisdiction. We'll give you jurisdiction for marriages, confessions. We'll give you this and that. You'll be able to work with the bishops. You'll be able to use their churches. We'll give you recognition. And Bishop Fellay said, this sounds great. Let's go for it. And he did. He was warned by +Archbishop Lefebvre. No, no deals.

No canonical setups with modernist Rome until Rome comes back to tradition and steps in line with all the popes and their condemnations of the modern errors. But Bishop Fellay thought he could do better than +Archbishop Lefebvre. And in fact, some priests actually said that. Father, one of the priests in France, said that Bishop Fellay did more for the society than +Archbishop Lefebvre (did). When Bishop Fellay betrayed +Archbishop Lefebvre. And now his four bishops basically have all been corrupted.

So this is very pertinent to what this bishop is saying right here. It's very pertinent.

“Other bishops and priests love The Revolution as an ideal cause.” So they're all for Vatican II,  the New Mass, modernism evolution. “They propagated and collaborate with it. They persecute and speak evil of the adversaries of the revolution and hinder their apostolate.”

So isn't this happening with the fake resistance trying to stop the true resistance from growing? And I can give dozens of examples, but just one was as simple as holy oils. You know, I was told by Bishop Williamson, no holy oils unless you publicly promote with examples, the Novus Ordo Eucharistic Miracles. So sorry, that's persecuting the apostolate of the adversaries of the revolution.

And Father Ruiz has suffered much also from Bishop Williamson and from the fake resistance priests.

“Very many pastors keep silent”, he says.

And that's the modern Novus Ordo church. They're all silent in the fake resistance. They're all silent against the errors, against compromise, against the Doctrinal Declaration of 2012 signed by Bishop Fellay and the leaders, and never condemned, never retracted. So why is everybody keeping silent? “Others assimilate the errors and spirit of the revolution and encourage the spirit openly or covertly in the same way as the pastors did in the time of Jansenism.”

So in some way, all the clergy are just going along with it. And this is what's happening. It's still happening.

At the time of Vatican II, most of the bishops and clergy went with The Revolution. The only real voice was +Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop de Castro Mayer. And then in the United States and Canada, we had over 100 independent priests who were great priests and fought for the faith. They were kicked out by their bishops, and they had to travel covering missions, and some of them just established their chapels, and people came to them.

But I could list a whole list of these great warriors, and they were good priests, and they all rallied around +Archbishop Lefebvre. When we were in the seminary, and Bishop Williamson was just freshly consecrated in 1988, a bishop, I was one of the sacristans, and we had to ship out the holy oils or hand them out by hand to be brought to independent priests. So many of the independent priests were supplied holy oils from the Society of Saint Pius X in its great days in 1988.

He goes on to say, “Those who fight against the errors suffer persecution from their colleagues and are labeled Integrists.”  So that was one of the labels on +Archbishop Lefebvre.

Oh, he's an integrist. That means he wants the entire social reign of Christ the King. Well, we are. We are integrists. That's right. And they called +Archbishop Lefebvre rebellious, renegade, disobedient, dissident, you name it, schismatic.

And that was by fellow bishops and priests and popes, like Archbishop St. Athanasius, who was persecuted by most of the bishops who were Arian heretics. And he had to run for his life six times. He was excommunicated by a weak pope who did sign a heretical document.

Now, that's a tough one for the Sedevecantists to swallow, but it's a historic fact. A pope signed a heretical document, and they are arguing (that) if he does anything or says any heresy or writes any heresy or signs it, he's automatically not pope. But the Church never said Pope Liberius was not pope, even after he signed that document.

He's considered a pope. So that's a strong argument against the Sedevecantist  position. And, you know, we're no, believe me, we're no worshippers of Pope Francis.

We disobey him, and we publicly oppose him. We recognize and resist. They don't like that position, but that was the position of Archbishop Lefebvre.

And it's well founded on Scripture. And we all know the Sedevecantists. They have good logical arguments, and a lot of them are very good priests and bishops, but they assume an authority to themselves which they don't have.

And in a way, it's a much tougher position to be where we are, which is (to) recognize this pope as pope, but oppose him and disobey his anti-Catholic orders. So here we go.

“Those who fight against the errors suffer persecution from their colleagues and are labeled Integrists. Seminarians filled with the ideals of the revolution come forth from the seminaries, even those in the holy city of Rome itself.”

So they all are believing in the ideas of the French Revolution, liberty of the press, separation of Church and state, the state should be neutral on matters of religion, all religions are so many paths to God. This is what he's talking about. That's The Revolution. This is our war.

“They call themselves Maritainists.” That's following Jacques Maritain, who was a great philosopher who went very modernist in his older age. “They call themselves disciples of Teilhard de Chardin”, the evolutionist. “They call themselves Catholic socialists and evolutionists. A priest who fights against the revolution is rarely made a bishop, but those who support it frequently are.”

So look at Father Paul Robinson in the Society. He's heavily promoting evolution and he's being elevated in rank. The liberals get promotions and the more so-called conservative priests now in the SSPX get put to the sidelines. And here's what this great Bishop Sigaud says, “In my opinion, the Church should organize throughout the world a systematic combat against the revolution.” And +Archbishop Lefebvre had to do this after the council.

“I do not know whether this will be done, but the revolutionaries themselves do not act otherwise.” And then he goes on to say, “Many of the Catholics do nothing. The poison permeates every country. People convoke reunions, they create the international and everywhere they use the same slogan, namely, that we must foment a revolution before others do so. It is thanks to the callous default of Catholics that The Revolution is kept in existence. In my humble opinion, if the council is to produce any solitary effects, it must first consider the state of the Church, which suffers a Good Friday, as Pope Pius XII stated to the young people of Italy, being given over without defense to her enemies. One has to realize there is a war to the death going on against the Church in every place. We must recognize the enemy, discern his strategy of war and his tactics, and clearly examine his logic, psychology, and dynamics so that we may understand with certainty every single battle in this war and organize and implement our opposition wisely.”

Now, here's a bishop that has his finger on the pulse. And it's too bad he died early because he would have been a great companion with +Archbishop Lefebvre.

“The enemy and the blindness of Catholics. For six centuries running, the relentless enemy of the Church and of Catholic society has preserved in mortal combat. Marching forward steadily and systematically, it has overthrown and destroyed nearly all of the Catholic order that is the city of God and has made an attempt to build the city of man in its place. The name of the city is Revolution.”

So Christ the King, he is waged war against by the city of Satan, the city of man, which Vatican II well represents. The city of man is opposed to the city of Christ the King in every aspect. And now in modern politics, it's all pro-abortion, pro-sodomite, pro-euthanasia, pro-assisted suicide, pro-in-vitro fertilization, which leads to more abortions and killing of babies. And everything pro-revolution that the laws of God, the popes have always condemned. So it's a war between these two cities.

“The revolution wants to build an order of human life, a society, and a humanity that is devoid of God.” Kamala Harris, she's just going to fast forward this program.

“Without the church, without Christ our Lord, without revelation, divine revelation, solely built on human reason, sensuality”, pornography, and fornication, and contraception, and adultery, this has all become normal in our society today. “Cupidity”, which is greed, “and pride”, pride and vanity.

“To attain this, it is necessary to attack at the roots, to pull down everything, and to replace the Catholic Church.” So this is their war. They want to destroy the Catholic Church.

“This enemy is very bold now, because he is confident of his victory in the near future. And yet, many Catholic priests disdainfully reject these considerations as the dreams of unbalanced imaginations.”

So anyone who preaches against this, oh, he's unbalanced. He's looking too deeply into things. He's following (the) Archbishop, he’s a Lefebvrist, or he's read too much of Father Dennis Fahey, or he's following these old popes who are dusty and in their graves.

This is a new era, a new age, a new time. That's how the communists speak. We have to get rid of the old world and bring in the new. Joseph Stalin spoke that way and got rid of the bishops, priests. Hundreds and hundreds of them were martyred and sent to Siberia. Nuns just massacred, and the killing of millions of Catholics under his, in his own country, and in Ukraine as well. Over seven million starved out in Ukraine in just one winter.

And the first ones they got rid of were the bishops who were like this bishop and +Bishop Lefebvre, warning the faithful, don't go with Communism, oppose any compromise of the Catholic faith, don't believe in the lies of Communism. That's why they imprisoned Cardinal Mindszenty for 14 years in Hungary. He was warned, stop talking about Communism, stop condemning it. So they kidnapped him in the middle of the night.

And so this is very important, what we're covering here with this great bishop.

“And yet many Catholic priests call them unbalanced imaginations. They act like the people of Constantinople during the years which preceded the city's disaster”, the sacking of the city of Constantinople. “They are blind and do not want to see the danger.”

And he talks about the two great enemies that Father Dennis Fahey talks about, the visible enemies of the church, which are Freemasonry, which Trump is working very closely with, and the Judaism, the synagogue of Satan, the synagogue of Satan.

“Freemasonry, the eyes of the whole council should be turned towards the Freemasons. At Vatican II, not one word of the Freemasons. They were never condemned. The words of the sovereign pontiffs declaring their philosophy, opposed to revelation, and denouncing them as the main weapon of the implacable war against Catholic society are still valid. After two centuries, we have before us the results of what Pope Clement XII indicated had been the program of this sect. Some elements of this program are still lacking, but are presently being pushed with great intelligence, perversity, energy, and logic, and they are coming to pass at a brisk pace.”

“Little now lacks in the construction of the city of man. How many years will be granted to the Church in the meeting of the kings of the earth? How many years will it take to impose the New World Order on the world and the faithful?”  So, here he is. He's already talking about the New World Order, and it was President Bush who was the one who publicly pushed and glorified and highlighted the New World Order.

And it was Saint Pius X who mentions this in his condemnation of modern democracy, our apostolic mandate. He condemns and talks about the One World Order. And Pope Francis, of course, is working hand in hand with the globalists, all building the kingdom for the antichrist.

And then here he says, “Worldwide conspiracy. I would like to bring to your attention very serious evidence which shows the worldwide conspiracy against the Catholic order and its imminent victory, unless God miraculously saves the Church and is preparing for us such a miracle by our ceaseless effort. It is the one dollar bill of the United States of America.”

This is what he says. What's on the dollar bill? It's all Freemasonic symbolism, the Novus Ordo Saeculorum, the new order of the ages.

“What do we see if we look closely at this little piece of paper, the American dollar bill? Within a circle on the left, we see a pyramid of polished and square stones rising from a vast uncultivated field. The meaning of this symbol is given in the Latin inscription, which translates New World Order, novus ordo saeculorum. This pyramid signifies the new humanity composed of men esteemed by the Freemasons, whose symbol is the polished stone into which the men created by God are transformed by the great architect of the universe. The base of the pyramid indicates the foundation of this new world order, 1776, the year of the birth of the Republic of the USA.”

And then he says here, “The USA and the New World Order. The USA is therefore the basis for this new Masonic humanity. Still lacking a few stones, the New World Order is not yet complete, but nearly so. Eventually, the work will certainly be completed since on top of the pyramid is signified the so-called God, not the father of Jesus Christ, but a Gnostic God, the architect, represented by an eye within a triangle. We are fully in the domain of Gnostic-Manichean Dualism, which is the theological basis of the Freemasonic sect. This so-called God gives his approval to their enterprise, as may be read above the pyramid. He praises their work, approves of new things which are to begin, and is in agreement. This allegory is quite clear. For us, the legitimate New World Order was founded by our Lord Jesus Christ 1,959 years ago.”

“The New Order in question here was started in 1776 and is a construction which is contrary to created nature.”

Pretty powerful. And then he warns about, quoting Pope Leo XIII, the works of Freemasonry.

Then he says, “Communism is another enemy of the Catholic Church. The Masonic sect gathers together the Bourgeois. The communists gather together the Proletariat. The aim of each group is identical, a socialistic society, rationalistic, without God and without Christ. The two movements have one common head, International Synagogue of Satan.”

And here he talks about the Synagogue of Satan.

“One, we condemn all persecution of Jews for their religion or for ethnic reasons. The Church is against the so-called anti-Semitism.”

Right, I mean, we pray for the Jews. We're polite to them. There's no problem. Pius XII rescued many Jews in World War II, and he converted one of the head Rabbis in Rome and baptized him. It was a huge victory, but they hated him for it. So obviously, it's Catholics (who) have no problem with Jews as an ethnic people, and we pray for their conversion. But two, listen to this.

“Two, but the Church cannot ignore the facts of the past and the clear affirmations of international Jewry. The heads of this Jewry have for centuries conspired methodically and out of an undying hatred against the Catholic name and the destruction of the Catholic order. And for the construction of a worldwide Jewish empire.”

Now you wonder why Trump is in the pocket of Israel. This is what Masonic sects, S-E-C-T-S.

“This is what Masonic sects and the communists stand for: Money, media, and international policies are for a large part in the hands of the synagogue of Satan. Although the synagogue of Satan are the biggest Capitalists and should, on that account, be the greatest adversaries of the Russians and the Communists, they do not fear them. On the contrary, they help them.”

“Those who have revealed the atomic secrets of the USA were part of the synagogue of Satan. Fuchs, Goels, Greenglass, and Rosenberg, the founders of Communism, were part of the synagogue of Satan. They are the promoters, organizers, and bankers. This is the reality. Should this foster hatred? No. But with vigilance and clarity, we should launch a systematic and methodical onslaught of the enemy of man whose secret weapon is hypocrisy, the leaven of the Pharisees.”

Wow! So, this is pretty hard-hitting. And this is 1959. I'll bet you most of the bishops, certainly the American ones and the Canadian ones, thought he was off his rocket, talking like this. But he had his finger right on the pulse. And then he talks about the whole efforts for the one world government, the revolution progressing.

“And they work to do this, to build an atheistic society and destroy the Catholic society. They promote sensuality”, pornography, fornication, adultery, “and pride.”

And that's what the devil uses. Sensuality and pride. Sensuality and pride. And avarice, the greed for the things of this world.

“While our Lord, he wants us to follow him in self-denial, to be pure in our thoughts, pure in our actions”, self-denial, self-sacrificing-wives accepting the cross of the home life and children- carry that cross out of love for our Lord. Husbands, be devoted to their wives and cherish them. That's the sacrifice. And that sacrifice is fruitful and good. And take the children God sends and Christ demands of us humility. “Learn of me, for I am meek and humble of heart.”

And our Lord wants us to imitate his poverty, which is to be detached from this world. Use this world what you need. Use it as if you used it not.

“The spirit of poverty. These violent passions of sensuality are manipulated for a precise purpose and subjected to the iron discipline of their leaders in order to utterly destroy the city of God and build the city of man. These passions accept totalitarian tyranny and endure poverty for the purpose of building the order of the Antichrist.”

“A central government directs the whole process with energy and great intelligence. This is a human dynamo, which is an instrument of Satan himself. What one calls politics of the right, such as Fascism and National Socialism, were themselves spearhead movements against the Church of Christ.”

And then he calls here, “Catholics must organize against this enemy. We must combat them, fight them with an organized and well-ordered army of working with the Pope, the bishops, the priests, and all the faithful and the religious orders.” This is what he's calling for.

And had the Pope consecrated Russia, this is what would have happened. But they ignored Our Lady.

And then he talks about the Syllabus of Errors here: “The syllabus is the providential list of the pernicious errors of our day, and it retains all of its timeliness. The Syllabus of Errors of Pius IX, it needs, however, to be completed, one, by the inclusion of the new errors of our time, two, by a practical organization of resistance against such errors and their defenders, both outside and within the Church. It seems to me that this practical and organized combat has been lacking.”

“Defenders of these errors and those imbued with the spirit condemned by the syllabus have been promoted to positions of responsibility within the Church.”So “in the seminaries, you will find teachers who spread the errors and who are filled with the love of The Revolution.” So they put, as Father Gommar DePauw used to say, the communists realized, since the Catholics, since the priests won't become communists, communists will become priests. And they infiltrated the Church. And Bella Dodd told Bishop Sheen, they had sent over a thousand agents into the American seminaries.

“Priests who remain neutral in this combat are being promoted.” So all the liberal priests and the neutral ones, they're all being promoted. “Those who openly fight against the revolution are dismissed from their responsibilities.”

So +Archbishop Lefebvre saw Father Leflocq dismissed from the French seminary in Rome.

They got rid of him, and he was really heavily pushing the encyclicals of the popes in the reign of Christ the King. And out of that seminary came many good bishops, such as +Archbishop Lefebvre. So they got rid of him.

“Those who openly fight against the revolution are dismissed from their responsibilities. They often suffer persecution and are forbidden to speak. They're silenced. The pastors do not chase the wolves from their flocks and keep the dogs from barking. I have already found one monstrosity of this kind. I am a Maritainist Priest, or I am a Maritainist Bishop.”

Maritain. Today they would say I'm a Vatican II Priest or Vatican II Bishop. And he talks about modern democracy, and then he goes on about the lesser evil is always an evil.

So the talk about lesser evil to vote for Trump or Kamala Harris, you got to vote for the lesser evil. Father Rippinger was promoting this idea, and he explained it, but I think he's wrong on that point. I think he's wrong, and Pope Francis, of course, is very wrong.

So we can't vote for these characters who are pro-abortion at all. And then he talks about the means of corruption that the revolution uses at the practical cultural level. He talks about dancing.

“It seems to me that dances in which the men embrace the women are to be categorically condemned. Likewise, modern dances such as rock and roll and other similar dances should be formally and universally forbidden to Catholics. The Church should discourage what are called balls or parties”, I guess, rock and roll parties, “which are a sensual and exclusive cult of the body.”

So he's talking about these corrupt dances that are very sensual. Of course, there are traditional Catholic cultural dances that are not sensual, like the Ukrainian dance, the Polish polka. Those things are not corrupt, but it's the corrupt dancing that should be condemned.

“Fashions, as far as the countries of the Western civilizations are concerned, objective norms could be given for feminine attire.”

And Pius XI did this. He gave the five conditions for the modest dress.

He condemned “the swimsuits for women that are called bikinis should absolutely be condemned. The same for two-piece swimsuits of those that leave their backs bare.”  Wow.

So you never hear this. “Beauty contests”, he says, “should be condemned.” And then anyone, any Catholic should participate in them should be excommunicated.

Why? Because he says “it's just parades of the human flesh. American bishops should refuse the sacraments to these people. Movies and vice of pleasure-seeking is promoted. The Church's position with regard to the cinema is expressed in pontifical documents. But in practice, certain scandals do happen.”

So he talks about the use of movies and the parish theater, and he says these things aren't good. They just induce dissipation. Because in the 30s and 40s, they would have a parish movie, but it could easily downslide because of original sin. So what would he say today about internet and all that? So books, he calls for the condemnation of bad books. Of course, the church has always done that.

“The Protestant errors entering into the Catholic ranks and the need for the counter-revolutionary resistance.” There it is, the Catholic resistance.

So that is the call of Christ the King. This is what we are called to be saints, to follow our Lord: “Who wishes to follow Me, let him deny himself, pick up his cross daily and follow Me.”

Humility, “Learn of me, I am meek and humble of heart.”

Poverty, we see our Lord born in the cold night of Bethlehem, and how he died poor on the cross.

So to follow our Lord and follow the combat of all the great popes of Catholic tradition.

So the One World Order, the city of man is spreading and Communism is just the daughter of these two, Freemasonry and the synagogue of Satan.

So that's our battle, gentlemen.

That is our battle. So make this meditation, asking our Lord, Lord, say with St. Paul, “Lord, here I am. What do you want me to do?” What do you want me to do?

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.

Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.

St. Pius X, pray for us.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Church Militant Membership-We Must Be Warriors
by Fr. Ruiz

The Catholic Trumpet [slightly adapted]| September 30, 2024|


Welcome to PRAEDICATIO, a new column on The Catholic Trumpet. Here, we faithfully present transcriptions of sermons and conferences from uncompromising traditional Catholic priests who, like +Archbishop Lefebvre, stand resolute in defending the integral Catholic Faith. These priests courageously resist and reject the errors, heresies, and compromises of Vatican II and modernist Rome, continuing the fight for the Social Kingship of Christ.

The original audio of Father Ruiz was delivered in Spanish and has been translated into English. We have taken every precaution to ensure the accuracy of these transcriptions. However, should you find any errors, we kindly ask that you notify us at thecatholictrumpet@gmail.com.

We are also working on French and Spanish translations of these sermons, ensuring that no one is deprived of these precious teachings.

In this column, you will only find the sermons of priests who remain steadfast and refuse to compromise—priests who defend the true Mass, the true Sacraments, and the integral Catholic doctrine. As Catholics, this is our duty, and we take this stand—firm and unwavering.

Vive le Christ Roi!

IF WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH MILITANT, THEN WE MUST BE WARRIORS.

September 8, 2024

The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Today is the 16th Sunday after Pentecost, but it is also the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this Gospel, Our Lord commands us to be modest, to be modest in our actions, so that when occasions arise where we might seek recognition, we will not be prideful, as these occasions can sometimes lead to our humiliation. We must not pretend to be more than we are, or boast of more than we have.

And from our humiliation, Our Lord says that we will be glorified, because God will exalt us for that humility. That does not only happen on a spiritual level, but also sometimes in our human life; there are people who are prideful, or who want to give themselves airs of, I don’t know what, to want to feel considered, and then sometimes they are in situations in which they are humiliated, because they have pretended to be more than they are.

And that is why Our Lord recommends modesty and discretion, and He Himself gave us the example. He, being God, being the Son of God, was never immodest in His life, and that is what we are glorifying. He always used discretion, but He had the right to all glory, to all honor, because He was God and He is God, but that is not our case.

So in our case, being creatures, being men, being sinners, we must be humble, we must practice modesty in our life. Today arrogance and being arrogant are very fashionable, but we must imitate Our Lord.

And we can also use the Blessed Virgin Mary as an example, because the Virgin Mary, whose feast day we celebrate today, Her Nativity-the day She was born- was also born in a discreet way, like Our Lord. Very few learned that the Mother of God had been born, very few knew that She was going to be the Mother of God. Very few also knew when Jesus Christ was born, and there were very few who went to see Him. And that does not take anything away from the value of His birth. On the contrary, it was a very important event for humanity, for all men, for us. Although at that time almost no one took Him into consideration.

We must not think that the important things are those that everyone welcomes, or considers because people are going here or there, or because people think this or that- this is not proof that these things are necessarily important. Above all, we must view everything in relation to God. More important is God Himself, and everything that pertains to God. And the more it pertains to God, the more important it is. So who were the most important saints that were the closest to Jesus Christ? These were the Virgin Mary, or the apostles, or the saints who lived in the time of Our Lord. They were holier because they were closer to Jesus Christ and more perfectly imitated Him, and they also received special graces and witnessed His examples.

We must look to our life to see what our relationship with Christ is. Is it a relationship that is good, or firstly, does this relationship exist at all?

And to be in a relationship with God, we must live in the state of grace. We are already significant, it can be said, when we are in the state of grace because we are children of God. And that relationship with God can grow, can expand, as much as we relate to Christ, it can be by the degree of grace, by the degree of growth in our spiritual life. Our relationship with God can also grow if we imitate the virtues of Jesus Christ, if we live according to His will. This makes us better, makes us more worthy, because we are true children of God, or children of God with a more intense, more perfect title. Like the saints, those who draw near to Jesus Christ and are close to Him in their spiritual life are notable individuals and for this reason, they are precisely more worthy of respect.

Everything on earth, and all things in the world, are judged and are worthy of value by their relation to God. Since the coming of Jesus Christ, every relationship with God always comes through Him. There is no other way, there is no other possibility. Our relationship with God is to the extent of our relationship with Jesus Christ. We go to the Father and the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. Our dignity lies in our connection to Jesus Christ. And that should be our main concern, although other things in life are important, it can be important to eat, to live, to work, money is also necessary in life, but it is not the most important thing. So we should not give those things an exaggerated importance, but always live in connection with Jesus Christ, and desire a true union with Him. And that should be our main concern, that was the constant focus of the saints, of all the people who preceded us in the Christian life -who were good Catholics, because they were always attentive to live in the state of grace, to pray, to go to Mass, which sanctified them, and saved them, and brought them to heaven.

The measure of our happiness in heaven corresponds to the depth of our relationship with Christ, and this relationship is always established by grace. I can not claim to have a  good relationship with Christ if I do not have grace. And if you say, ‘I do not believe in grace, yet I feel I have a strong relationship with Christ despite not having more grace’ this is impossible. So our relationship with Christ is made by grace, by the Christian life, by the imitation of the virtues of Jesus Christ, the examples that Jesus Christ left us, the love that he left us, especially the example of love that he left us.  These things must be imitated, and by doing so we are treasuring treasures for the afterlife. So this life certainly has its needs, its work, but even though we have to live and eat every day, it does not mean that our body is more important than our soul.

Despite everything we have to do to live, we must never forget that our soul comes first, and that is why we must sanctify everything, not only when we pray, or when we do any specific pious or Catholic action, but all actions in life must be sanctified because they must be oriented towards God. When we sit down to eat, we say a prayer first. Without this, we are no different from animals who do not pray, and we fail to recognize this distinction. Animals eat when they are hungry, and sleep when they are sleepy, but they do not sanctify their actions because they are animals.

But people don't consider that they go to bed without praying, or eat without giving thanks to God. In the life of St. Dominic Savio, it is said that one day his parents invited some people to his house, and the first thing they did was to sit down and start eating. The child was offended and said, ‘I do not want to eat with these people who live like animals, they eat and do not give thanks to God,’ and he was absolutely right. There are people who are like animals, who never give thanks to God for what they do, and they go to bed without praying, they get up without saying anything, and live without ever thinking of God. During the day, no matter what activity you do, you always have to do everything for the love of God. Even if we can not pray all the time, we can live in the presence of God, and do everything for His service, for His love.

By doing things in this way all our actions are sanctified, even sleep is sanctified, and we grow in the grace and the love of God in everything we do. That is what God wants, and this is normal, it is what we should do, you understand? If not, then we become like animals, like this child who said, ‘I do not want anything to do with these people who live like animals and do not pray.’ This is the fervor we should have every day, to improve ourselves, and grow in grace. It is the work of a Christian, of the Christian life, to every day grow in the life of grace, grow in the love of God, and grow in merits from the practice of all the virtues. You have to practice them, and that is the measure of your reward, you understand? That is what awaits us in heaven.  If we do not make an effort in this life, if we are not always attentive to live for the service of God, even if we save ourselves, we will have limited much of our happiness in heaven.

When washing the dishes, even if we are doing something purely physical or material, even then we must do it for the love of God, as Saint Joseph did. And that is not easy, right? Because in this life, conditioning ourselves thus, requires effort and is difficult, but it is meritorious. In heaven there will be no cross, there will be no suffering, everything will be easier and more natural, because we will already have the vision of God. But on this earth we do not have the vision of God; we live by faith, and faith is the believing in things unseen. So if we believe, even though we do not see God, and there is not always some satisfaction in doing our duty, it has a lot of merit, and makes our soul grow.

Doing our duty gives us grace, and other rewards that God wants to give us. In this life we are here to work, we are the workers of God, in this life we are here to work to win heaven, and to win a better heaven, it is for that reason we are here. The rest is secondary, although it is also necessary, but just because it is necessary does not mean that it is more important than our salvation.

There are some people who believe that in this life we are here to have fun, to have a good time, this is wrong, you understand? This is not the main purpose. Mediocrity in the Christian life can prevent people from being saved, or, in some cases, they may be saved but only with great difficulty. Sometimes they are saved and they will spend a good time in purgatory, and they win a heaven that would not be the one that God had destined for them; it was not the heaven that God wanted to give them, because God gave each of us different talents, and some are destined for a better glory than others, but all are destined to be fully happy. Those who have not been faithful to all of God’s graces, because they have not taken advantage of them, will not have that fullness that God wanted to give them, you understand?

So maybe there are people that God wanted to make very happy in heaven, and they will not have all that happiness, because they were negligent in this life, they were forgetful, they were lazy, they were negligent, or they did not have enough faith, and the truth is that everything is destined for the service of God and the salvation of our soul, everything, you understand? Everything that we think and do must be in that order, the order of salvation, and sanctification, which are the same.

If they missed their opportunity, it is forever, you understand? It is for all eternity, and that is why this life has two aspects, one very important and one that is not important at all, meaning that the things of this life are going to end, so they are not important, you understand? Those who live by money or wealth, these things are finite, so they are not important, even if there are necessary things that have to be done, like eating every day, this is necessary, but not very important with respect to eternity. But there are things in this life that are very important, why? Because if we do them as they should be done, we are going to have a reward for all eternity, and how we live this life will determine all of eternity. So this life, even if it is short, is very important. Why? Because we should aspire to live this life, according to virtue, according to grace, not according to other human standards, you understand?

People appraise money, physical talents, others appraise the importance that people have in society, no, that is not what matters in regards to eternity. When we reach eternity, we will be judged by how we have practiced the Christian virtues in our life, how closely we have imitated Jesus Christ, and that is how our eternal worth will be determined. Our lives, lived according to Christian life, Christian virtues, and grace, will determine who we are for all eternity. If a person, though not considered important or wealthy by the world, practices Christian virtues, fulfills his obligations, and follows God's will, then the degree to which he lives this Christian life will determine the measure of his eternity and his eternal happiness.

In that sense, what we are in this life, is what we will be in eternity which makes this life very important for us. How can there be people who always live in neglect, in ignorance of their Christian life? True Christians focus on praying, on loving God, on doing good works, on doing virtuous acts and practicing them, because this is what merits their reward.

Some practice patience, others practice humility, others practice generosity, others practice faith, hope, or charity, and the extent to which we practice these virtues determines the measure of our reward and our place in eternity and our place in heaven.

The most virtuous and generous on earth will be the most honored in heaven. Though all will be fully happy, some will receive greater rewards, depending on their generosity and love for God in this life.

There are people who are lost, who are idle, and are unable to find purpose in life. Instead of taking advantage of this life, to earn merits, to do good works, to practice the virtues, to love God, which is the way to heaven, they waste their time. There are saints who excelled in certain virtues, more than others, and their glory in heaven corresponds to the virtues they practiced most. Saint Thomas says that the glory of the saints is not equal, and that each of them will have a different glory, a different splendor, and that splendor will be so for all eternity. What does their splendor, intensity of glory, and their happiness depend on? It depends on the intensity of the good work done today, now, in this life. There is no need to make illusions about it.  That's why this life is so important.

In this life, your eternity is decided. This life is very important, because we can merit heaven, and save ourselves. This life is going to end. There are things that we like, but one day we will not have them, they will be as nothing.  We have things such as a house, properties, there are people who have a nice car, but when they die, that car is going to stay here,  their house too, they can't take it with them which shows it is not important.

During this life these things have importance, in as much as we have our needs but they cannot compare with an eternal importance, which is forever. Those things serve us for a few years, for some time, the things that God gives us serve us, and we receive some happiness here on earth, but those things are going to end, and in eternity, those things will no longer be with us and no longer exist. We will be living elsewhere, in another place, so we should not love the things of this life.  We should use them to the extent that they are necessary, and use them without loving them, without always thinking about them, because we are going to leave those things here. Even our body is going to stay here, it will be dust, it will be ash. We will only take to heaven, the degree of grace, the degree of charity, and the degree of virtue which we have merited on this earth. These things are the treasures that will make our glory shine, in eternity, forever, without end.

This life gives the illusion, which many people are under, but it is just an illusion, that this life is going to last a long time, that this life does not end. No, when we leave this life we are going to see it as just an instant, a moment in time, and compared with eternity this life is nothing. The moment of our life is important, because it will decide our fate and our eternal punishment or reward. It will determine what place we will have in heaven, how our glory will be, because there are different types of glory. The greatest glory is to see God, to possess God.

Those who will see more of God, and possess more of Him, are the ones who practiced the theological virtues in this life. Theological means ‘of God’. These are the virtues of faith, hope and charity. What is our faith? What type of faith do we have? Is it a mediocre faith, is it a superficial faith, is it a badly understood faith, a badly practiced faith? This happens because we do not read, because we do not know our religion.  We have to try to read books that speak about the virtues, and how to practice them. It is not enough to say, ‘I am good’, but to be good we have to do certain actions, and if I do not know how to do those good acts, I will not be good, I will not reach a particular goodness, but a very mediocre and superficial goodness.

This is the problem with the mediocre Catholics, of the liberal Catholics, who conform to an exterior appearance in Christian life, a social situation, and they think it is enough. They do not do good works for heaven, they are constantly sinning, and they do not want to carry their cross, because virtue is a burden, the practice of virtues is burdensome, it is difficult, it is heavy, it is hard, and sometimes painful. They seek a life of comfort, a life without effort, and expect heaven. But, no, heaven is not something we are entitled to- it must be deserved.

Today the world is bad, the world is in crisis, of all kinds, politically, economically and in many other ways. Above all, there is a crisis of the Church, like never before. We know it was the Popes who declared the Christian era. When the years were counted, and history was told, they always referred to the years AD, after Jesus Christ. We are in the Christian era, and this is why we are in the year 2024, because it was 2024 years ago, that Jesus Christ was born, nothing more or less. Everything relates to Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ is the center of history, and of course this bothers the enemies of God. It also bothers the liberal Catholics, who do not want to be so extreme, and say, ‘ah, no,why must everything be judged in relation to Jesus Christ, no, no,why do you have to be so exacting?’ It bothers certain liberal Catholics, when people measure everything in relation to Jesus Christ, and make Jesus Christ the center of history. Before Jesus Christ was born, the eras are described as BC or before Jesus Christ, historical facts are measured by His birth, and they don't want to say that anymore. The Pope recently stated that we are now in 'common time.' Therefore, instead of saying '2024 AD' (after Christ), he simply says '2024 of the common time.’

The reference to Jesus Christ is no longer made. The Pope does not want to do it.

The Pope is now saying that it is a sin for those who don't want to promote wild, mass immigration, to bring people from one country to another country, in masses, without any control, without any rules. This is an aggressive action against one's country, it is like an invasion. Back in the day when an invasion was made, there was a reason for it. It was to make war, an invasion was a reason to make war. Today they don’t understand that mass immigration, is a bad thing. Throughout history there were always small amounts of immigration in all cities. There were a few people who went to live in another country, or who went and stayed there, but it was a very minor immigration, because there were only a small number of people. It wasn’t something that came to disturb the order of that country, or of that nation. It was not necessarily something bad, but today it is.

Today, they have brought thousands of people into Europe, which used to be a Christian Europe with Christian countries but now is a Pagan Europe with Pagan countries. There are some people there who say that they are Catholic, but, if you dig a little, there is nothing left of Catholicism in their life. Those countries, the enemies of God, want to destroy Europe even more, and erase everything, all of Christianity. They bring in non-Catholics, and they prevent Catholic immigrants from entering countries like France or Spain, but are favoring Muslim immigrants, instead. why? Well, to destroy Christianity. Those countries, which were Christian, used to have a Christian population, used to have numerous families, with many children, but now they no longer have children. They want to replace the Christian population and heritage by a completely anti-Christian population. Muslims are anti-Christians and are destroying those countries. God Has punished these Catholic countries because they have moved away from God, and because they do not practice their Christian life, they are going to suffer a lot, because they don’t want to return to their Christian and Catholic roots.

The Pope already said that by not accepting immigration you are sinning, it is a mortal sin. He is deliberately collaborating with the enemies of God, with the world leaders. He also speaks of an ecological sin, because of this fake environmental crisis. The whole environmental crisis is a big lie. It is only being promoted for political motivations of the world leaders, from the enemies of God. The Pope is completely involved in the game of those people. The Pope is a world leader, he is a Pope who is every day denigrating and discrediting the Church. He is making it an object of mockery, mockery. Because of his attitudes, he is weakening the faith of Christians. This man is a precursor of the Antichrist, and that is a calamity! In these times, Catholics must conform to lead a normal Christian life much more so than in other times, when society was more or less Catholic. During this time, Catholics are forced to a greater generosity, to a greater militancy,  because our religion is being attacked. Christian countries are being attacked, they are being destroyed by the enemies of God, who are inventing a thousand ways to destroy the nations, and also to destroy the Church.

When a house is burning, the first thing we do is to try and stop the burning; even your friends and neighbors come to help, so that it does not burn, because it is a matter of great emergency. We are also in a state of emergency, so that Catholic society continues to live. We can no longer be mediocre. Mediocrity is a greater sin now, and more serious, for those Catholics who do not want to do anything, who cross their arms, and complain and say, ‘let's just wait for God to do something.’ God is asking us to pray, so that He can do something.  God does not want to help us, if we do not ask him. We do not have the right now to be mediocre Catholics.

When there are very serious things that happen, we must strive to do better, to pray more, to improve our Christian life, to counteract the temptation that we are victims, or that society is a victim. When there is a great crisis, it becomes necessary that the members of society become soldiers, become warriors, become more attentive, and fight to save their country, to save their society, and to save the Church. We have an obligation to save the Church. I do not understand how there can be Catholics that see everything that is going on  today, but do not dare to pray a rosary, they do not dare to convert, and say, ‘my God, I am going to do something about this’, so that God will forgive us, and help us. They do not want to make the effort. This is a greater sin, because we do not have the right to indifference. If there is someone attacking my family, if the father of a family sees someone attacking his children, and remains cross- armed, that is a sin, of course. It is a sin of omission. ‘I did not do anything wrong,’ they say, but you were called to do something in that moment which was a great obligation and you did not do it, this is a sin, a sin of omission.

This is the great sin of the liberal Catholics, who remain cross-armed, (passive), and who refuse to confront the situation. Those traditionalist Catholics, who according to them are ‘traditionalists’, say, ‘no we are simply against the crisis of the Church, we are against modernism, we are against Vatican II.’ It would be good if they were against something, it would be good if they even just think about it, that they think about it, but it is criminal that they remain cross armed, and passive.

Do you make sacrifices as the Virgin asked in Fatima? What did the Virgin ask for? So that God does not punish the world, so that greater punishments do not come, and among those punishments, there is the crisis of the Church. This is the punishment for the sins of the bad Christians, it is a punishment that the Church is in crisis, because we are all in danger, we are all in danger of condemnation. What did the Virgin ask us? The Virgin in Fatima came from God, so what She asked was from God, she asked for the Rosary, that we make sacrifices, conversion, sacrifice, expiation, it is what we must do. There are already Catholics who do not want to take part in life, in politics, but politics is also an obligation. Catholics should be involved in the situation of the world, not only in personal life, but in social life, in political life, to fix the situation of our Christian countries. It is our obligation. It is true that today there are not many opportunities, but you have to find a way to be interested, to see what can be done. There are those who do not even think about it, they do not even have the imagination to think about what could be done.

But yes, they can complain, yes, they can spend two hours complaining about the misfortunes of humanity, but they can not say the Rosary in 25 minutes, as if it were more of a burden than the cross of Jesus Christ. I do not know how it can be so difficult, praying is not difficult, it is more difficult to work every day. People who work 8 or 10 hours, this is more difficult, because it is work, whereas praying is talking. It's like talking to God, it is not difficult. When I talk to my friends, when I talk with the people I love, I can spend an hour, two hours or more, and it does not tire me. To pray the Rosary is to talk to God. The devil will make me believe that it is hard, that it is difficult, that it is unbearable, that I do not have the time, that there are more important things I could do and this is a diabolical deception- to see prayer as something heavy  is a diabolical deception. Prayer is not hard, it is very easy, just talk, that is not a heavy burden, it does not hurt, so it should not be a tiring job to pray, it is not. The devil makes us believe that it is something very difficult to pray the rosary and this is a diabolical deception, it is not true, it is not true. It is easy to pray the Rosary, the Virgin asked it of us, she asked us to do it so that God, in his mercy, would lessen the punishments that are to come, or that are already present, such as the punishment of the crisis in the Church. This is a great punishment, the worst of punishments, because souls are being condemned, and this is the worst of punishments. It is already happening, it is happening today, so we must pray more, we must expiate, make some sacrifices, make many sacrifices, pray and ask every day, for the conversion of sinners.

So how can it be possible that there are Catholics who are aware of what is happening, but complain all day, to the point that it is burdensome to hear them. They complain all day about what is happening in the world, but they do not want to make any efforts, they do not want to touch a rosary, they do not want to touch it, as if that way of living were a sin.

The Virgin asked us to convert, to convert, to correct your problems. What does that mean? Conversion for those who are not Catholic, no, no, conversion for those who are already Catholic. But what do you have to become, what do you have to repent of? Well, of your bad habits, of your bad ways, of your vices, of your defects, and try to be better, every day. This is what it means to convert, give up evil, become good, become better, and leave our defects, our anomalies, and be better. God decided it that way

The priest is there to lead.  He is not there to obey the faithful, to the fools, who do not know what to do. Even in the good people, who are working for God we can see the ambition for power, sometimes these people want to strip us, more than the others, and sometimes they sacrifice their good causes, for a little ambition, because they want to be more important. 

In today's Gospel, Jesus Christ tells us, no, if you want to be greater, then, humble yourself. Sometimes, in the clergy, there is an ambition for power. It is a shame that some priests, who claim to be traditional, feel a constant desire to lead others even though not everyone is called to leadership. This can stem from sins of weakness, petty sins, sins of very base nature. How can someone who has such high ideals, who understands so many things, and so many good things, and knows where things are, where evil is, but can still drag themselves down with sins, shameful and base sins.

How is this possible? It is inexcusable for a person, who is called, to a greater perfection, to a greater holiness, why? Because he understands what is happening in the world, and understands the things of God, and he knows what the solution is, and yet, he continues to drag himself down with petty defects. This is a greater sin, the mediocrity of those Catholics, is the one that has sunk us all, it is the one that has sunk the Church, the mediocrity of the liberal Catholics, who want to be Catholics, who call themselves Catholics but in their life, they are worldly people, who want to reconcile the wisdom of the world, with the wisdom of God, with the wisdom of the Church.  This is not possible, those things are opposite. Their personal well-being, and selfishness, make them say, ‘I can not do this, because it bothers me a little bit, and these little things are too hard’, that little selfishness, that makes many say, no, I can not help, I can not collaborate, I can not sustain this cause, because I do not have the time, but they still say, ‘I want them to serve me, to give me, to help me.’ When Father offers, I will come to hear him say the Mass, but that I help the Father? No, they cannot. The Priest does everything, alone, even though he knows it is his duty, he still needs help, the priests ask for nothing else, but they do not help the Church, they never give. No, this is a sin, and its worse in our time because there is more need, because there are fewer priests, because the priests have less means and less help. The sin of omission becomes more serious now for certain Catholics, I do not say all, but many, yes.

There is vanity, found sometimes, in traditional Catholics, who say ‘I know more than you, and because of this you have to listen to me and do what I say’ this is vanity, of wanting people to believe they know all the true facts. There are some who are looking for the opportunity, to tell the priest ‘ah, you were wrong about that truth’ they are lacking respect, but, ‘you should have said it like this Father’. Am I God, am I the child Jesus? no, no, no.

There are times to speak our minds to speak the truth, like the child Jesus, in the temple, he was not being pretentious, even if he was God, and the doctors of the law, they never lacked respect for Him.

The word Church militant means- Militant, militia, army, warriors, that is the meaning of the word and it is a term that is in the catechism and in the teaching of the church.

Let's avoid letting ourselves get cold because it is the work of the devil to minimize things to make me see the big as small and to see the small as big. This is the work of the devil and in the people who do not pray, he achieves his goal more easily.

What if I want to be a worldly saint, this is the typical liberal saint that does not exist. There are no saints who are worldly because all the saints were anti-worldly. But when it comes to the liberals, yes, there are worldly saints. So they want to be saints but as the world imagines them, as they did in those romantic movies that were made in Mexico back in the day. The priest was sometimes presented as a worldly man who was with people, who was at parties in the taverns and who was always saying yes to people. ‘If you want to have fun, have fun, if you want to be happy, be happy,’ that is the worldly holiness that people believe, as if the saints always said ‘yes’ to everything.

Christian holiness is not like that, because the Christian holiness knows that in this world there is sin, there is a tendency towards evil which we are always at war with. Because we are living with a body that is wounded by our passions, that has a tendency towards evil. Sometimes we are born with character defects and all our life we must fight against that.

There are some who have the choleric temperament, which is not their fault, it is how they were born, but because of the consequences of original sin, all their life,  they will have to practice patience so as not to get angry. Some have more tendency towards laziness, others have more inclination to sins against the sixth commandment. All their lives they will have to fight against these sins.

So in this life we must always fight. We are members of an army that fights against evil and what are the evils? They are the three enemies of the soul, which are the devil, the world and the flesh. The flesh is us, who we are with our defects. The world is everything that is in the world that obeys the devil, that obeys evil. It is not the world that God created, but the world that moved away from God, the world that is against God, that world is the enemy of the soul, the world that does not want to pray, that does not want to think about God, that does not want to believe in God, that does not want to love God, that lives according to the desires of the flesh of pleasures and comfort. And then there is the devil, who also fights us every day who suggests things to us, who wants to weaken us, who has to fight every day to make people believe that the rosary is burdensome, that practicing the virtues is useless,  that fighting against our defects is a waste of time. The devil has a lot of art, and many people believe him, because they do not pray, because they do not believe enough in what Jesus Christ said, in what the church teaches, because they do not have that curiosity to know their religion, to read books, to train themselves, to listen.

For example, today you can easily access the internet, you can find books about the lives of saints, about religious formation. There are also audio books on the internet. I am currently listening to the City of God, a book by Saint Augustine, that is read for you to hear on the internet. You say, ‘hey, I'm reading it by hearing it and at the same time I'm working, and doing something’, and it’s like I'm reading a good book, but I can do other things at the same time. You have to take advantage of those small services of modern technology. But some of them can be used for evil, and today they are generally used for evil but they  can also be used for good. You have to know how to use technology, but of course not all of us have time for everything, but we must find those small solutions, right? We can be doing some manual work, some cleaning, whatever and at the same time feeding our soul with good readings, listening to good things, and good meditations.

So on this day, the feast of the Nativity of the Most Holy Virgin we ask the Virgin on her feast day to give us the grace to remain whole in the faith, in the love of God as she always was, and to give us the grace of fervor, to free us from those people who are meek for God, and rich for themselves, meek to help the Church, but generous to live their fun, their movies, their meals, their walks, but meek to help the salvation of the Church.

We have to do something, because the good priests are disappearing, so we have to promote seminaries, and vocations, and for this we also need the help of the faithful. The priests cannot do everything. God arranged it so that the faithful can sanctify themselves by helping the Church. It is also a Christian obligation, to help the Church and the priests. They cannot make money appear here or there so they depend on the help of the faithful which is also an act of humility for the priests. Sometimes there are those limitations that prevent a seminary from being built. Sometimes it is not possible because there are no means. So everyone who can, as much as we can, we must collaborate in this work of the restoration of the Church. We are going to ask Our Lady, we are going to ask our founder, Monsignor Lefebvre that from where he is in heaven, to help us to do everything well so that tradition is really restored, as it should be, how he wanted it to be. But some of his ungrateful children have destroyed his work, and have really neutralized the work of the Society of St. Pius X and now the Society of St. Pius X is timid and shy and no longer denounces, no longer fights the errors of Vatican II.

Oh Mary conceived without sin. 

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
