If you've ever wondered why the Miracle of the Sun was what Our Lady chose for the finale to Fatima, then this podcast is for you -- from the Errors of Russia and the symbols of the enemies of God, she was sending a message, Old Testament style. Even down to the Egyptian and like Moses battling Pharaoh's priests -- the Miracle of the Sun is rich with symbolism.







00:00 - Like a Horse head left in the bed -- the message is clear







01:27 - Natural Sun Worship of the Druids was not ceased, but rolled into Freemasonry









Freemasonry's most virulent offspring - International Communism — moved Pope Pius XI to issue his Encyclical Divini Redemptoris on March 19, 1937.







It is virtually beyond dispute that, in the words of the present Librarian of Congress, James Billington, "the modern revolutionary tradition…grew out of occult Freemasonry." Billington, in his seminal book on revolution, Fire in The Minds of Men, traces communism from Illuminism through the Masonic lodges, and states that the first apostle of modern communism, Giuseppe Buonarotti (a descendent of the famous genius of art, Sculpture and architecture, formulated his blueprint for a new society of revolutionary republicans in "the Masonic lodges of Geneva." Billington recalls that Thomas Paine, after his return to America from Revolutionary France, wrote An Essay on the Origin of Free Masonry, in which he "insisted that the natural sun worship of the Druids had not been destroyed but merely diverted into Masonry."

there's more to this that I skipped over in the podcast... this concept of DECHRISTIANIZATION ties into the similar DEHELENIZATION much later in the podcast...









In his Encyclical, Pius recalled communism's early gestation Period: "Ever since the days when groups of intellectuals" were formed in an arrogant attempt to free civilization from the bonds of morality and religion, Our Predecessors overtly and explicity drew the attention of the world to the consequences of the deChristianization of human society."







His Holiness was referring to those long series of encyclical an other Papal documents earlier cited in this work which warned of the dangers of the new atheistic philosophers, and particularly their conspiracies hatched against the Church in the lodges Freemasonry.

03:41 - Errors of Russia are Solar Worship cults (and communism is their offspring)







10:01 - 1916 Solar Cult Grove and Magic Circle Dedicated in United States







This has been mentioned before for other purposes, but the 68th Convocation of the Order of the Rose Cross... Magic Solar Cult Workings in the US... consecrated a grove -- right when the angel started appearing to the children in Fatima.

19:31 - Ancient Rites of Osiris - Russian Magi at the occult working in the US

It is the 90s all over again - but despite the smoke of prophecy-mania afflicting us today, there are some curious prophecies from Anne Catherine Emmerich and commentary by Yves DuPont, as well as some quotes from Masonic sources in 1955 conspire to make strange explanations of the Lutheran Synodality we see making democratic "collegiality" in the Vatican today. But why is the Synod silent on things Catholics are concerned about?







01:32 - Intro - Reliving the 90s -- Prophecy MANIA!







02:42 - Fatima - we had THE IMPRESSION it was the Holy Father







06:09 - Two Popes - Yves DuPont Catholic Prophecy









Ven. Anne de la Foi. "There will be discord within the Catholic Church. In those days, men will wear women's clothes, and women will put on men's clothes."







82. M. Porsat (19th century). "There will be confusion among the clergy."







83. Quoted by Abbe Curicque (19th century). "What caught my attention repeatedly is that a large number of priests will join in the revolution."

DuPont, Yves, Catholic Prophecy: The Coming Chastisement. TAN Books 1973.









Oba Prophecy. "It will come when the Church authorities issue directives to promote a new cult, when priests are forbidden to celebrate in any other, when the higher positions in the Church are given to perjurers and hypocrites, when only the renegades are admitted to occupy those positions."

The Two Popes of Anne Catherine Emmerich







16:18 - DuPont Citing Anne Catherine Emmerich - New Church built on Reason, Pope in Exile, Fake Pope in Office









May 13, 1820. "I saw also the relationship between the two popes… I saw how baleful would be the consequences of this false church. I saw it increase in size; heretics of every kind came into the city (of Rome). The local clergy grew lukewarm, and I saw a great darkness… Then, the vision seemed to extend on every side. Whole Catholic communities were being oppressed, harassed, confined, and deprived of their freedom. I saw many churches close down, great miseries everywhere, wars and bloodshed. A wild and ignorant mob took to violent action. But it did not last long.”

Id.









Sept. 12, 1820. "I saw a strange church being built against every rule… No angels were supervising the building operations. In that church, nothing came from high above… There was only division and chaos. It is probably a church of human creation, following the latest fashion, as well as the new heterodox church of Rome, which seems of the same kind.







53.4 "I saw again the strange big church that was being built there (in Rome). There was nothing holy in it. I saw this just as I saw a movement led by Ecclesiastics to which contributed angels, saints and other Christians. But there (in the strange big church) all the work was being done mechanically (ie. according to set rules and formulae). Everything was being done according to human reason.







53.5 "I saw all sorts of people, things, doctrines, and opinions. There was something proud, presumptuous, and violent about it, and they seemed to be very successful. I did not see a single Angel nor a single saint helping in the work. But far away in the background, I saw the seat of a cruel people armed with spears, and I saw a laughing figure which said: 'Do build it as solid as you can; we will pull it to the ground.' "

Dupont himself interprets the above, and makes these observations:









From this prophecy, it is clear that the true Church will be faithful to the Pope in exile [B...

Last episode, we discussed game theory but never got to the point of it.  Now, we discuss that the Vatican had hired McKinsey & Co to "modernize communications".  McKinsey uses game theory to help their clients find the best path to navigate a market and uses consensus management to help companies move from point A to point B through competition and diverse market forces, especially to overcome reasonable criticism.  Well, that's what we see happening in the Synod.  We discuss the USCCB Synod Synthesis and see that we really are being gamed!

18:49 - Forcing you to accept the "Spirit of openness"?

28:13 - Welcoming means eliminating repentance?  Oh, wait -- it means YOU shut your mouth

Let's sit down and chat about this mess today, and how we've come to the end of the modernist climb and marxist normalization of the Church. The "listening church" of synodality appears to be nothing more than an enactment of Richard McBrien's Catholicism.  How the shock cycle of media today seems to feed the balkanization of Catholics, the use of "defending the pope" as brown shirts, the calumnies used to marginalize Catholics that just want to be left alone, the weaponized petitions, and how it all started.  Voices of the battles of the 80's had better analysis, but today's voices seem to miss a lot.  Much of the harshest things we hear about today were done already by American Bishops decades ago, back then there was recourse to Rome...  but what's different today is Rome isn't listening.  Our Lady told us at Akita...

Pope Francis is reported to have said that we should not make a battlefield of the liturgy.  Because he complains of Catholics hanging on to outdated things and old ideas, it is like he is saying that people who want a united and sacred liturgy (traditionalists or trads) disrupt the purpose of liturgy...  who are the real combatants?  why is this deja vu?  and what did Father Hardon say we can do about it?
