The last week in June set things in motion for a mighty hot summer that could very well scorch scores of souls.

    Look at the climate literally and figuratively. That can be illustrated by the terrible inferno raging across Colorado, and/or the increased violence in Syria, and/or the conflagration of tempers over the SCOTUS' decisions on the Arizona Immigration Laws and the bloated Obamacare, and/or the fact Europe and the Euro are on life support, and/or the implosion within the halls of the Vatican as the dike is about to break and inundate and indict Josef Ratzinger and the rest of the guilty CONciLIARS with all the leaks springing forth - some say served up by the butler - and/or the cover-up by the United States Attorney General Eric Holder and the implicit involvement of a Marxist-leaning White House led by the arrogant narcissist Barack Hussein Obama in a Watergate redux that, because of deliberate national security leaks that greatly jeopardize American lives and her allies, is one hundred times more dangerous than Richard Milhouse Nixon's obstinacy for never did tricky Dick approach those treasonous measures or badmouth the country. Oh, he blasted the media, but not the people. Today, it's just the opposite. The media are Barry's lapdog and the people are his bone to chew on whenever it doesn't go his way. Talk about the tail wagging the dog!

    With all the chicanery in both church and state in addition to collusion with sworn enemies and betrayal of allies behind closed doors, no wonder so many see the world as a powder keg about to explode.

    We wondered about that once Chief Justice John Glover Roberts announced his inane decision on the day after the feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, when it seemed many could feel that help was something that didn't seem available right now - especially with the dark cloud of the consequences of the sins of men and their nations cascading toward an abyss of an even darker time, as Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey wrote in "Springing Back Into Power". It is truly an article every reader must read to understand the climate and dress accordingly as in garbing yourself in the priceless garment of Sanctifying Grace.

    Yes, the human element within us wondered a bit, but knowing that it profits nothing to gain the whole world and suffer the loss of one's soul we realized we're not in charge. God is. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the universal events in both church and state are enough to turn an optimist into a pessimist unless, that is, one has faith to believe and trust. Trust is something we don't recommend when it comes to trusting in man. Look where that has gotten us! We have been deceived by all of today's leaders in the world and the counterfeit church of conciliarism. We know that cannot come from Jesus Christ because we also know He cannot deceive, nor be deceived. And if so many feel strongly that they've been deceived, then connect the dots on why we have been and who is responsible for the deception. The answer to that is easy: The great deceiver is Our Lord's greatest adversary, who is the prince of darkness. And why? Because his time is so short.

    That is why the world is hurtling at breakneck speed towards a One World Order and One World Religion. All the pieces are in place and it's as clear as black and white. The dark chess players think they own the board as the white pawns and rooks are falling like flies. And no, I am not playing the Demoncrats' favorite game of "race-baiting" for I will not get baited by the "race card" while satan wields his will, moving the pieces around at a maddening pace. Admittedly, from man's perspective it is pretty disheartening.

    Look at the Middle East. It is fast achieving a new name through the very real possibility of a chaotic Caliphate where the radical heretical teachings of a crazed man from the seventh century rules the roost and threatens to totally eclipse any remnant of Christian culture in Islamism's ideological idiocy of universal Sharia Law, all fueled by violence since its beginning, from either the new seat of Jerusalem or even Rome.

    Do you really think the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Moammar Khadafi in Libya, Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, and soon Bashar Assad in Syria have anything to do with "democracy"? If you do, it's time for you to not only go back to the history books, but the bible as well. As bad as these despots were and despite their own leanings, for the most part they did not advocate the annihilation of Christendom. Since each's ouster, the persecution has intensified. Should we be surprised? No, it is all part of the master plan that will claim so many clueless souls. They need to realize democracy is not of God's making, but man's. Throughout holy writ, where does it say majority rules?

    Also, as indicated, because man has become both lazy and expects entitlements without working with the sweat of his brow, few are prepared for the persecution fast approaching. Dry Martyrs are about to become Blood Martyrs! We saw the fruits of martyrdom in the early Church. We saw it during the Protestant Revolution, especially in England. We saw it during the French Revolution and in the last century behind the Iron Curtain, and in this century in Mexico with the Cristeros and in Africa where Christian villages are being wiped out as genocide runs rampant at the hands of Muslims. The Muslim Brotherhood is the manipulator in all this, and whether they be Sunni or Shiite, their goal is world domination.

    It is no coincidence that's the same goal as their master - the prince of darkness. Man is an individual. He cannot gain eternal salvation through "collective salvation" contrary to what Obama preaches in his arrogant agnostic Muslim way. Man has a free will and will be held accountable for his actions. It is truly tragic that radical Islamist young men are led down the bloody primrose path that 72 virgins await each man if they commit suicide while taking out innumerable other souls who they call "infidels" if they are not of the same mad mindset. We know from Catholic truth who the infidels truly are.

    Are there 72 virgins in Heaven? Oh, yes, and so many, many more. But you know very well they are there because they would not accommodate man's lust and you also know Islamists will never reach the pearly gates for two very good reasons: They were not in the state of Sanctifying Grace and they refused Christ and His holy Church. After all, that is dogma which leaves no leeway to discussion. The same goes for Buddhists, Hindus, and all other false sects who have rejected Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of the world. Christ told us so: "He who is not with Me, is against Me" (St. Matthew 12:30; St. Mark 9:40; and St. Luke 11:23).

    Those three sources are key. Let us address those for they hold the crux of how it has all come to this. Jesus says in St. Matthew 12: 25-26, "Every kingdom divided against itself shall be made desolate: and every city or house divided against it shall not stand. And if satan cast out satan, he is divided against himself. How then shall his kingdom stand?" He goes on to reveal in verse 29 why and how the devil gains entry. "How can any one enter into the house of the strong, and rifle his goods, unless he first bind the strong? Then he will rifle his house."

    In order to infiltrate, they must first gain entry. The Greeks did it with the Trojan Horse. Remember that part about beware of Greeks bearing gifts? Perhaps it's too late to remind Bishop Bernard Fellay of that, but, if the twenty-eight clerics he has unceremoniously expelled from the SSPX - including the influential Bishop Richard Williamson on June 25 this year - ironically on the feast of St. William the Abbot - are not awake now to the fact "recognize but resist" has not worked since Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre chose to fence sit instead of heeding the wisdom of the nine who realized you can't have it both ways, then what will wake them up? When one compromises, one is compromised. Christ never compromised. Neither should we.

    The same happened in the Catholic Church. Following the election of Cardinal Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto as His Holiness Pope St. Pius X near the beginning of the 20th Century , the devil went subterranean to regroup after his man, the progressive Cardinal Mariano Rampolla was rebuffed by Emperor Franz Joseph in the last secular interference to ever be in force. For decades lucifer plotted and influenced prideful, deceitful men to put on the mask of holiness and worm into the woodwork of the Church, yeah, even the Vatican itself and lay low until that time when they could put into action the progressivist agenda and worse. Don't believe me? Bella Dodd verified it; the books AA-1025 - The Memoirs of an Anti-Apostle and John Vennari's Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita document the saturation of Communists, Freemasons, Jew and even Muslim into the ranks of the clerics and chanceries all the way to the top. Remember Christ's words, bind the strong and then rifle his house.

    That is what they have done. Yes, it has taken a century, but the modus operandi is no different then the first infiltration into that first garden where an apple served as the distraction to rifle the house of perfection and create Original Sin. Since then the devil has been a busy beaver chewing on every Modernist morsel he could regurgitate. Though he has won countless battles, we know he can never win the war.

    And that is what we are fast coming to: the war to end all wars. As pointed out earlier, this is the perfect storm. The Middle East is a conflagration of violence; China and Russia have never changed their colors only infiltrated the United States and Europe with a darker shade of green under the pretense of ecology that has been fully embraced by their partner in crime Benedict XVI who, from his conciliar predecessors on, has moved farther left and further away from God and His holy Church. In the course of this defection, millions - make that billions of souls - have been sacrificed for man's ideology that is directly opposed by God. St. John called a spade a spade in his First Epistle, chapter 2, verses 16-19, "For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us."

    We know from history that Angelo Roncalli was more than willing to compromise with the world because he held the world's opinion above God's. We know that Giovanni Montini not only sought to abdicate the Authority of the Holy See, but introduce satan into the Church not through the back door as the devil is wont to do but with the red carpet rolled out and this only steamrolled during the false pontificates of Karol Wojtyla and Josef Ratzinger. So should we be surprised that corruption rules the roost in the Vatican today? Should we be surprised at all the leaks coming out of this Borgia-like regime? Why should we be when we realize the Holy Ghost - the Sanctifier - withdrew His protection either upon the election of Roncalli or definitively at Vatican II when Montini approved "Lumen Gentium" and officially before God and the infallible, perennial Magisterium of the Church broke from the true Church founded by Christ in the very same manner as Henry VIII had done in 1531. The only difference between the Protestant movement then and now is that the latter still calls themselves "Catholic" where, in truth, they are anything but that as has been proven in their words and actions.

    Think about it. Just as the Tudor king called in Cranmer to be a troubleshooter against those 'troublesome' resisters, so also has Modernist Rome called in former Fox correspondent in Rome Greg Burke to spin the Vatican's version of propaganda to offset the leaks that could even be more damaging than Wikileaks for the very survival of the counterfeit church of conciliarism. Their thinking, who needs the Holy Ghost when you have the new "lay cardinal" Burke, not to be confused with his fellow American "Cardinal" Ray Burke, who, before being kicked upstairs to the position of Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, failed miserably in the Office of Social Communications. But then who hasn't failed since the Curia is as corrupt as the time of the Borgias, evidenced by the pedophilia-sodomite scandals and cover-up, the incompetency, collusion and bitter infighting that threatens to soon be made known to all, exposing Ratzinger for the rascally rotweiler he is in spreading the fleas of fallacy everywhere in hoping he can hornswaggle the SSPX before the dog days of summer have passed for his own time on this mortal earth are fast approaching. He is beginning to panic for his Hegelian agenda has not been fully fulfilled for the One World Religion is still not a fait accompli and that has long been one of his goals since before he entered St. Peter''s for the commencement of the Second Vatican Council in 1962 as a peritus to Cardinal Fringe fifty years ago.

    And you were expecting a calm summer? Not on your life. And that is what you might just have to put on the line if you're truly in tune with the times. Yes, the persecutions are intensifying everywhere. The last part of June, Dr. Droleskey provided an excellent five-part series on the Cristeros of 1930's Mexico, a series that resulted from a review of a current movie For Greater Glory that has had excellent reviews but has been largely ignored by the mainstream lamestream media. What few seem to realize is the same fate that befell Catholics and priests then can very well happen here in the United States. It's happening in Africa at this very minute, in Indonesia, the Philippines, China and many other places. The United States and Catholics are living on borrowed time.

    With the Marxist agenda the Obama Administration has forged and its condescending, albeit treasonous actions and abuse of power, not to mention cooperation with the Muslim Brotherhood, Obama's re-election will only speed up the time frame for persecuting Catholics. He's already at war with Catholics over contraception, abortion and sodomy. Those he has appointed are in concert with his vindictiveness. He is the personification of Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin in his narcissistic arrogance and defiance of decency and morals. We know where that led the world. Are we prepared for a repeat? We had better be.

    Voting for George Romney may delay the inevitable for a while, but there are too many powerful forces to entirely halt the slide toward the abyss for man has sold his soul for the world, the flesh and the devil. In other words, I could tell you all about the doom and gloom ahead...and for many it will because they have not been honest, not only with themselves or others, but with God. No wonder they have so many things to hide whether the secrets be in the White House or the Vatican or our own houses. If we are always honest, we will never have reason to hide anything. Why are so many fearful of being found out who they really are and what they have done whether in the political, ecclesiastical or secular sectors or even within their own families? Because they have lied. You don't lie, you have nothing, absolutely nothing to fear.

    And the last thing we need to do as true Catholics is to hide and cower in fear. Our Lord said Be not afraid." Why then should we fear? We need to boldly set the example of bravery and take a stand for truth even if the majority will back off from joining us. Be not afraid to work for the restoration of the Church and the Social Kingship of Christ and do all we physically can through our works and prayers for the Triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. When things look impossible, that's when it's right and proper to remember Christ's words in St. Matthew 19: 26, "With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible."

    So let's cooperate with God so He will make things possible. There's that old saying "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Well, the events of June have definitely been a sour citrus of catastrophes, but let's look at these setbacks as opportunities. Opportunities to stand up for Christ and His one true Church. Opportunities to not cower to public opinion. Opportunities to be willing to stand for truth despite the obvious ridicule that will ensue. Let them call us fools. Fools for Christ. Perhaps, through our prayers and example, some hard hearts will soften. And in that process they will be given the grace to join us in crying out in the face of so much adversity, Viva Christo Rey!

    We know God is all-loving, all-merciful, all-omniscient, and all-just, and we know that one of man's behaviors that He detests the most is man's lukewarmness as is recorded through in St. John's Book of the Apocalypse 3: 16, "But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of My mouth." It is because of this apathy that God has formulated a method to His divine madness, if you will.

    Look what happened to the Israelites. God blessed them with many things and they grew apathetic and forgot their purpose. What did God do? He said 'okay for you, see if this will wake you up' and allowed them to be conquered by infidels - from the Egyptians to the Babylonians to the Romans. It seems man never learns. And by the time he does, it almost seems like it's too late. Almost. And that is the salvific feature God presents to man for in good times man becomes lethargic, over confident and self righteous.

    The more man thinks everything is going just fine, the more he slips away from the disciplines and discipleship of the stewardship God has so deigned for each person. In New Testament times, that stewardship begins with the Barque of Peter as designated by Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity.

    Do you really think the Church would have grown so quickly without the persecution of the early centuries? Did not the early historian Origen say, "the blood of the martyrs is the seed of Christianity"? In other words, without adversity, man is not challenged and that translates to fostering lukewarmness, and we know from above what that produces.

    The apathy of man lays the foundation for satan's playground. Would you not think many would have realized the errors of Arius in the fifth century? How could the Arian heresy engulf 95% of the Church? The boiled frog syndrome comes into play and what provides for this simmering on the stove? Indifference. How could the Mohammedans have slithered in and spread their venom so quickly the 600's if Christianity had been on its guard. But many dropped their guard. Again, man became jaded and soft. Witness the Borgias and Medici, the Rennaissance was the gateway for the Protestant Revolution of the sixteenth century.

    Those Catholics who would not bow to an earthly king over Christ the King were greatly persecuted. Though the Church righted the ship with the Council of Trent, eventually laxity set in and we had the rise of freemasonry and the French Revolution where again countless Catholics were slaughtered and martyred for their Faith. Without these hardships, generations would have been deprived of the crown of martyrdom, the chance to gain Heaven by standing for what they believed in against all odds.

    One of the best examples of lukewarmness was the rise of Nazism in the twentieth century. Because of man's reticence he did not see the warning signs, or he didn't want to see it and hid his head in the sand even when neighbors were being hauled away to Nazi death camps. Then, when it was too late, the Gestapo came for them and there was no one to defend them because they had been distant in reaching out to help others.

    Fast forward to today. We have been given a golden opportunity to stand up for Christ and His holy Church - His true Church, not the doppleganger in Rome posing as the Church. First of all, it was our lukewarmness, our believing that nothing could go wrong that enabled the progressives to not only infiltrate Vatican II, but also the chanceries and foist upon the faithful a religion antithethical to what they had been taught. Yet, because priest, bishop and 'pope' said in so many words that now pastoral trumped dogmatic, we followed the pied pipers of protestantism and paganism into the schismatic chasm of the counterfeit church of conciliarism with nary a peep. Why? Catholics had grown lukewarm during the 'golden age' of Catholicism in the United States in the 50's. Truth be known, the heresy of Americanism had already taken root a century before. We were lazy. We took our faith for granted and now we must pay the price.

    And oh, is there a price to pay. Why do you think the vast, vast majority have fallen in lock step with the conciliar clowns? Because they don't want to wake up and realize they were wrong, that they made a huge mistake and must make amends. That would mean leaving their comfort zones. It's much easier passing the buck and falling back on the excuse that 'he told me it was okay' even when you know in your heart something's wrong. Why do you think so many don't want to know? They mistakingly think God will give them a pass and give them a green card right into Heaven.

    It's time they realized the stark facts. No one achieves Heaven without paying for it. No, we don't mean one can buy their way to eternal life; rather, one has to work for it, sweat for it, even bleed for it and, quite possibly from what we are leading up to in this time of chastisement that has brought us the Great Apostasy, likely die for our true Faith. Are you willing to offer your blood for the Most Precious Blood?

    For the past fifty years American Catholics and Americans in general, heck, the whole human race for the most part, haven't given that a thought in seeking to have it all with their focus on the easy way. Gone practically into oblivion are the hard working farmers and laborers who sweated in the fields and factories to put bread on the table and support their families - big families. Gone are our ancestors who built beautiful cathedrals by hand and their various artisan talents, which today have been relegated to the blah and modern technology that deprives man of the creative process. It's all done for us today. Everything has to be instant. Now. Today, whatever is the quickest, easiest, less painful way is the best way, consequences be damned. We see it with the selfishness of the sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance that have been made into law: abortion and sodomy.

    Utilizing the agricultural metaphor, we sow what we reap and we've created a swampland of sin that must be brought to justice. Those who have turned a blind eye to the horror of the senseless, cold-hearted murders of nearly one hundred million or more innocents in the womb, or turned a deaf ear to how contraception kills before life can even begin, or, to avoid making waves, have gone along with the rest of the lemmings in accepting homosexuality as normal, well they are fast coming to their day in Court. God will not be mocked much longer.

    Just the fact that He has withheld His hand until now points to the possibility there are at least ten just men delaying His full righteous wrath. That is one thing this generation has over Abraham's plight, but not for long because the blatant disregard for God's natural and supernatural laws cannot go on much longer; especially when this generation is far, far more sinful than those in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah.

    If ever there was a time when man has grown soft, lazy and lukewarm, it's now in our day and age: July 2012. Look at world events and you can see the perfect storm forming. The Middle East is on the verge of plunging back to the seventh century, Europe is in an era of entitlement where the citizens and governments don't care about accountability only that they get theirs and the hell with anyone else. Technology rules the roost. Man is in a maniacal mañana mindset. Kick the can down the road. Let future generations deal with our sins, what do we care?! We want ours and that's that. This generation has grown so soft that they'd be lost if they had to till the soil, break a sweat, or, God forbid, talk to anyone face to face if they don't have their Facebook.

    From coast to coast, from the four corners of this earth, man calls out defiantly: "I want more and I don't care how I get it, so don't mess with my comfort zone." Well, God is about to and we better be prepared. For the lukewarm, those who don't give a damn, the dam is about to give way and engulf those who would be damned. Don't say we didn't warn you. Isn't it about time you joined us in rallying the troops to stand for truth, trust only in God, and ask those who so offend God when will they learn liars never win?

We want to thank the few who responded to our plea for donations. As you can see we received just enough to be able to publish this edition but without more willing to donate for the first time, is it fair to depend only on the few while the many take advantage of the wealth of information on this site? If you are still in the category of the lukewarm, then you will pass over this plea and move on to the next thing that tickles your fancy. But if you truly want to commit, we offer you the opportunity below to put that commitment into action for the good of saving souls. God bless you for your caring and sharing.
