SSPX ‘Joy' At Pope’s Consecration of Russia

The following is the Society of Saint Pius X's statement regarding Friday’s consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The Priestly Society of Saint Pius X has learned with joy of the announcement of the consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, scheduled for March 25th.

After a long wait, punctuated by fervent crusades and assiduous recitation of rosaries, the Society of Saint Pius X is happy to see the request of Our Lady of Fatima taken into account, which called for a solemn act by the Pope in union with all the bishops.

The Society of Saint Pius X places its trust more than ever in the recitation of the rosary and in the practice of penance. It prays in a special way for peace in the world, ever more convinced that nations will only find concord by a true conversion to Christ the King, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

World Bishops Invited to Consecration, Irish Set to Join

One of the criticisms of the recent announcement that Russia would be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary was that it did not include all of the bishops of the world joining Pope Francis in unison.

Now, a letter from the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States has said that Pope Francis will invite the bishops of the world to join him on Friday March 25th.

While we await word on who is set to join him, the Irish bishops have responded to an appeal to join the consecration by confirming that they will do so on Friday. This was confirmed in a tweet by the Primate of All Ireland, Archbishop Eamon Martin.

Islamic Extremists and Bisexual Sentenced for Hamel Slaughter

In the summer of 2016, the world was shocked to hear of the brutal slaughtering of the martyred priest Father Jacques Hamel.

As he said Mass on the morning of the 26th of July 2016, a two terrorists entered his church seeking to behead him. Abdel Malik Petitjean and Adel Kermiche were both under police surveillance and even wearing an electronic tag when they stormed Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray church in Normandy. The two perverts then produced a knife, instructing a nun to record their decapitation of the elderly priest. Father Hamel shouted ‘Begone Satan’ at the two freaks, with one of them asking a nun if she was afraid, becoming incensed when she stated that she was not as Jesus was with her. The follower of Muhammad then stated that ‘Jesus is only a man’.

Both terrorists were members of Islamic terror group ISIS and were killed by French security services as they left the church.

Despite their deaths, French security services have managed to bring to justice those who aided them.

Four men were convicted of having done so, one of them being ‘French’ rapper Rachid Kassim who recruited drug addicted convicts to ISIS for missions in the Middle East. He received the harshest sentence but is believed to have been killed in Iraq in 2019. Interestingly, he had planned an attack on Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, which allegedly spontaneously combusted in 2019 in the midst of the worst wave of arson attacks against French churches in history.

One of those convicted had been an ardent supporter of the slaughter of Father Hamel and was a cousin of one of the attackers. Farid Khelil is a self professed irreligious bisexual.

The cause for the canonisation of the martyred Father Hamel is currently opened.


Legion of Mary Event to feature Music, Art and Adoration

Following the success of their recent Men’s Conferences, the Legion of Mary’s centenary celebrations continue with a new event showcasing the creative arts.

Entitled ‘Shadows on the Wall’, the Legion of Mary have stated that it will:

This night is planned to take the arts back from the nihilists. We are hosting an eclectic night of faith, arts and adoration focusing on God’s creativity in a world that wants to shut Him down.

Catholics need to create their own culture, so we invite everyone to come and join the growing Catholic underground.

The event begins at 7 with adoration and music and arts presentations until 9, followed by tea and time for socialising.

Admission is free and the Legion especially extends an invite to lapsed Catholics and those curious about the faith and looking for something different.


Ireland's Rosary Rally Revolution

Despite efforts at smearing by pro austerity politicians in anti Irish political party Labour and pro Orange Order party Sinn Fein, the Men’s Rosary Rally continues to grow from strength to strength across Ireland, North and South.

Beginning in the Autumn of 2021, the Rosary Rallies were inspired by the efforts of Polish Catholics, who took advantage of lockdown to create a worldwide movement of men displaying public acts of devotion to Our Lady. Taking place in public areas of prominent cities, the Rosaries were designed to follow the examples of St. Louis Marie De Montfort and others who espoused the importance of public prayer.

Beginning in Northern Ireland, the events have since moved to the South where they have attended large crowds of men praying in reparation for the sins of men in Ireland.

One event this week took place in Cork City.

Twitch

Another large group attended at the Rally in Magherafelt.

As the church ponders its next move, in a dispirited culture and wider Irish society that has lost its sense of purpose, these rallies have provided a confident and renewable framework for reasserting Irish Catholic identity.

Men's Rosary Takes Place This Weekend

The Irish Men’s Rosary takes place again this first Saturday of the month, March 5th. The wildly successful event will occur in a number of locations across the country. Visit www.mensrosaryireland.com for more details.

The organisers of the initiative have stated the following:

Just a small update to the different men's Rosary groups to let you all know that the men's Rosary on the street is going from strength to strength and has spread to many parts of Ireland and around the world. In the North of Ireland it has been in Derry, Newry, Belfast, Armagh, Omagh and tomorrow in Magherafelt and in the next months Ballymena, Newcastle, Lisburn and Enniskillen with crowds of 200 men turning up, many with their wives in support on the periphery.

The Men's Rosary has really taken off in the Republic of Ireland with Sligo planned for April and Carlingford for the summer and Rosaries already happening in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Tralee, Athlone, Abbeyleix, several sites in Donegal including Letterkenny and Carndonagh and many other areas.

The Men's Rosary started in Poland where every first Saturday there are over 25 towns and cities involved with crowds of men up to one thousand at some of the meetings. It spread from Poland to Ireland and from Ireland around the world. England Scotland and Wales are involved as is the USA, Mexico and Ecuador as well as starting in Sydney, Malta and Gibraltar.

There is interest from India and Africa and mixed groups of people saying the Rosary have started all over Europe with over 800 sites in France alone where the Rosary is said publicly every Wednesday evening. We should never underestimate the power of the Rosary as Fr Donald H Calloway MIC book 26 Champions of the Rosary demonstrates. Our Lady said to St Dominic..

Whoever propagates my Rosary will never be lost.. And this applies to all of us! In the book Servant of God Fr Joseph Kentenich is quoted as saying that the Rosary is far more superior to all the weapons of modern warfare in overcoming the enemy of God.

Finally we should not forget how Fr Petrus Pavlicek set up public Rosaries in Austria after WW 2 to make the Russian communists leave and in 1955 they suddenly upped and left and no reason was ever given. I am convinced that if enough men say the Rosary on the street on their knees in public that we can completely change the world to a much better and happier place.

There will also be another event on St. Patrick’s Day.

Irish Priest Throws Paint on Russian Embassy (AUDIO)

, ,

With Pope Francis leading the way on dignified and prayerful responses to the current crisis in Ukraine, some priests have chosen to take a different route.

On a day where the Russian Ambassador appeared on Russian state media Russia 24 to claim that Ireland was the most overtly anti Russian nation in the West, an Irish priest was appearing on his own country’s state media to broadcast himself throwing paint onto the gates of the building.

Father Fergal MacDonagh previously hit the headlines after allowing an Imam to pray to Allah, invoking the names of Moses, Jesus, Mohammad and all the prophets on the altar of a Catholic church.

Now, he appeared on Liveline with Joe Duffy, a popular talk show on Irish state media. The audio is below, where he douses the gates in red paint, sets off an alarm, discusses the building being destroyed by arson and finally gets approached by a Garda.

It is as surreal as it sounds.

The stunt coincided with the Russian Ambassador Yuriy Filatov appearing on Russian media and stating that the relationship between Ireland and Russia had deteriorated:

Naturally the general political situation is simply hostile towards Russia and everything Russia.

A very negative role, of course, is being played by mass media that shows an absolutely tendentious picture of the events happening in Ukraine at the political level, but Ireland is in the forefront in the European Union and wider with regards to various anti-Russian events.

In this regard, it is probably hardly possible to talk now about any relations between Russia and Ireland. We are mainly supporting a channel of communication with the Irish.

“There is probably a certain sense in this because even in these difficult periods there is need in them.”

As our minister, Sergey Lavrov, said in the interview maybe they will stop going crazy in the West and will understand where, what and how in reality, but for now we are dealing with what we have.

May the Eucharist Be a Light to You in Dark Places

,

EUCHARIST and EUCATASTROPHE 


‘May the Eucharist be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.’


On Thursday, 24 February 2022, Vladimir Putin inflicted the ‘ancient Chinese curse’ of May you live in interesting times onto the world. The Russian army invaded Ukraine. 

All rational people fear this could be a prelude to World War III. Many will have nightmares of being evaporated in a mushroom-cloud, at the flick of Putin’s little finger.

The Ancient Chinese Curse 

The curse “May you live in interesting times” is neither ancient, or Chinese!  This saying was probably penned by Neville Chamberlain’s father or brother. 

Neville Chamberlain was the Prime Minister of England who negotiated ‘peace’ with Adolph Hitler. Hitler is universally understood to be the most loathsome, malignant narcissist of all time. Chamberlain triumphantly returned to London, naïvely waving the Munich Agreement aloft, claiming “Peace For Our Time!” 

Within a year, Hitler had invaded Poland and Britain declared war — World War II. 

History is packed with malignant narcissists and psychopaths. The list spans Caligula to Genghis Khan, and includes Ivan the Terrible; Pol Pot; Stalin & Mao Zedong, to name just a few. The one Ireland knows more intimately is Oliver Cromwell. These monsters brutally killed millions, upon millions of innocent human beings. 

Dictators hold their power over little people because they can easily kill one person, or a family: demolish a home or even a whole community. In olden days, a knight might cleave his way through the village. Nowadays, a remorseless invader can drive a tank over innocent people, or just bomb them from afar.

The exact circumstances of this video are unknown. Some reports say it was a Russian tank while one report suggests it was a Ukrainian Strela-10 Rocket Launcher stolen by Pro-Russian saboteurs. It is unclear if the driver just lost control of the machine or whether he deliberately ran over the non-combatant elderly man passing-by in his car. 

What is more important is what happened after the car was run over. Despite the ongoing invasion, a group of people worked to extricate the old man from his badly crushed vehicle. Such selfless behaviour never makes it into the history books — but this is exactly what makes humans, truly human! 

Gentle folk

“Even the smallest person, can change the course of the future.” [JRR Tolkien]

Many of the powerless people in the world are the kindest folk. Days gone-by, some would be serfs or indentured servants, toiling long and hard to provide for family and community. Often, such people do not seek power or vast wealth because they already have riches beyond compare. Each of us knows some of these “Hobbits” in our lives. 

After 2 long years of the COVID pandemic, these people are still a ray of hope with their kind words. Some might be more surly and not say much, but always show up to help in times of need!  Through the voice of Samwise Gamgee, Tolkien reminds us: “There is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.”

“Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here”

In Dante’s epic poem, Inferno, this proverb is inscribed above the gates of Hell.

For a Christian, one of the most serious sins is to despair – to give up all Hope. (To clarify: I believe that our Loving Father has infinite forgiveness for this sort of despair arising out of a severe depression.) 

The idea of Hope in such dire circumstances led Tolkien to coin a new word: “Eucatastrophe.”  Tolkien defined Eucatastrophe as a “good catastrophe, the sudden joyous turn…” This notion obviously arose from Tolkien’s devout Catholicism and traumatic experiences during World War I. 

Tolkien may have deliberately coined this word to have similarity between EUCatastrophe and the EUCharist. As Katie Marquette noted, “it is important to understand the felix culpa narrative, the fortunate fall, the reality that ‘All Things can be Made Right Again.’ There is nothing that will not be rectified, though much of earthly life is experienced as “the long defeat.” As a Roman Catholic, Tolkien understood the Eucatastrophe of the Cross - Humiliation, Suffering, Death - turned into the Triumph of the Resurrection.”

 So, what can we do to help?

Two suggestions:

First: pray harder! This includes praying for peace; praying for the innocent victims; praying for the conversion of the perpetrator and especially praying that this conflict does not escalate to nuclear war. 

A devotion which Catholics should consider is the Holy Rosary. Through the Rosary, we ask our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, to intercede on our behalf with her Son, Jesus Christ. 

For anyone who is a tad rusty on the Rosary, there are links below to Catholic Arena articles on how to learn the Rosary in English and Irish.

Secondly, we need to be very generous with humanitarian aid & financial support. There will be many refugees & injured / homeless people inside Ukraine. Please do not forget that Russian civilians are also going to suffer through the financial sanctions being placed on their motherland — thanks to Putin and his cronies.

The Lord of the Rings is an allegory for how regular people cope with catastrophe. The phrase said by Galadriel was: “May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.” Tolkien was a devout Catholic so perhaps his true message was:

“May the Eucharist be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.”

RTE Times 'Documentary' to Attack Lent

By Thomas Hegarty

Irish Catholics warned to brace themselves as Lent approaches. It is now customary for RTE and the government on the run up to Catholic liturgical dates, to broadcast documentaries and release reports that attempt to portray Catholics in a poor light. When Catherine Zappone was in the Irish government, her department would always release an interim report on the mother and baby commission on Easter week.

This practice stopped after the commission found no evidence of babies being “dumbed in septic tanks in Tuam or no evidence that babies were ever sold to rich US couples by nuns.


This year, at the start of Lent, RTE will broadcast a documentary on the women in the Magdalene Laundries. We’ll soon see how RTE approach this difficult story.

The timing of its release has us wondering if it will be fair to Catholics, the Irish State and Irish Society in general.


For the women who were in these laundries, they deserve to have their voices heard and their stories told. But is RTE capable of presenting the topic in an unbiased way? We will have to wait and see. Their track record is poor in this regard.

Note for overseas readers: RTE is the propaganda arm of the anti Catholic Irish government

Ukraine Bishops Call for Consecration of Russia

,

The following letter is from the Episcopate of Ukraine to the Holy Father

Holy Father!

In these hours of immeasurable pain and terrible trial for our people, we, the bishops of the Conference of the Episcopate of Ukraine, become spokesmen of the relentless and heartfelt plea supported by our priests and consecrated persons, which comes to us from the entire Christian people, so that Your Holiness will dedicate our Motherland and Russia to the Most Holy Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Responding to this plea, we humbly implore your Holiness to publicly carry out an act of dedication to the Most Holy Immaculate Heart of Mary of Ukraine and Russia, as requested by the Most Holy Virgin in Fatima.

May the Mother of God, Queen of Peace, accept our pleas: Regina pacis, ora pro nobis!

Muslims SPITS in French Priest's FACE

With a Presidential Election looming, the persecution of Christians in France is becoming a hot topic.

In a literal sense, with the arson attacks on countless Catholic churches, including Notre Dame Cathedral but also with other forms of violence including the beheading of priests and lay people during Mass.

A shocking video from Bordeaux today highlights the daily plight of Christians in the Globalist country, which is quickly approaching the persecution to be found in the worst parts of the third world.

In this video, a PRIEST is blessing people when a Muslim man SPITS IN HIS FACE.

The Diocese have refused to press charges so far, an act that is admirable in one way in terms of forgiveness but in another way negligent of their civic and religious duties to play a part in ending these unjust persecutions of French Catholics. Recently, another priest was threatened with being beheaded during a procession, this is not a once off event and action needs to be taken.

So far, President Macron has failed to condemn the act.

Father Edward Daly and Republican Revisionism

By Thomas Hegarty

During the civil war (or as RTE and BBC prefer to call it “The Troubles”) in the North of Ireland there was a road sign on the way into Derry marking the city limits. It Read; Welcome to the Historic City of Londonderry.
But Derry people being Derry people and with a mix of gallows humour, the sign received a slight modification. Welcome to the “Hysteric” City of xxxxxxDerry.
That road sign summed up exactly what Derry was like to visitors. But to Derry people, it was business as usual. We laughed through the smoke and the smell to quote Phil Coulter.

Having marked the 50th Anniversary of bloody Sunday, the camera crews and politicians have left the Maiden City. It’s a good time to reflect on the role of Catholic leadership in Derry on Bloody Sunday and the years afterwards.

Some social media comments on the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday last month were used to attack Catholic leadership at the time. One social media post was written by a Catholic priest who also posted a photo of the iconic mural of Fr. Edward Daly with a victim of Bloody Sunday. Here are some responses to the priests post;

One armchair social warrior posted:

“the priests with a few notable exceptions condemned republicans and refused to leave in coffins with flags on them into churches while giving every comfort to British soldiers who fully supported the (South African) apartheid regime…we had no Desmond tutus standing up for nationalists”

Another wrote:

“(Catholic) leadership ignored them (Bloody Sunday victims) in their campaign for justice for 40 years”

Then there’s this post:

“very easy for the priest to pontificate and preach forgiveness , whilst deliberately ignoring the pleas of the parachute regiment / Westminster victims and their families quest for justice.”

All of these commentators chose to completely ignore the fact that a Catholic priest was down in the Bogside in the middle of a massacre, giving the last rites to the dead and dying and trying to get critically injured men and boys to safety.

Revisionists should never be allowed to rewrite history to suit their secular anti-Catholic narrative.
It’s an inconvenient truth for these revisionist republicans that Fr. Edward Daly, a Catholic priest was helping his parishioners in their darkest day during a battle that included heavy duty armoured vehicles, tear gas, rubber bullets, and live dum dum bullets.

But Fr. Daly was there in the thick of it. FEARLESS. PRESENT. SHOCKED. BUT STILL FEARLESS. A HERO.

Derry people were proud of their priest and were delighted when he became Bishop.

Later, the Catholic leadership took a lot of criticism for not allowing the IRA drape Irish Tricolours on IRA coffins entering Catholic churches. This was an unpopular move and it was not received well. However, Northern Irish Catholics knew it was a prudent move by the Catholic leadership. By not allowing any political emblems into a church, the Catholic leadership could quietly act as trusted negotiators and go-between a for peace in the North.

Bishop Edward Daly led an exemplary holy, devout life. Derry and the world mourned when he passed away. Pope Francis sent a message of condolence to the Diocese.

"The Holy Father was saddened to learn of the death of the Most Reverend Edward Kevin Daly, Bishop Emeritus of Derry, and he sends heartfelt condolences to his family and to the clergy, religious and lay faithful of the Diocese.  Recalling Bishop Daly’s generous and dedicated episcopal ministry in the service of peace and justice, His Holiness joins you in prayerful thanksgiving for his life and in commending his soul to the merciful love of God Our Father.  To all who mourn the late Bishop’s passing, Pope Francis cordially imparts his Apostolic Blessing as a pledge of hope and consolation in our Lord Jesus Christ."

Unlike todays social justice warriors who hide behind their keyboards to attack Catholic leadership from afar and often anonymously, Bishop Edward Daly led publicly and from the front. He served his hysteric Maiden City as a brave Christian leader. He never apologised for his Catholic approach to bloody violence on both sides. He guided Derry Catholics on a very difficult journey at a very difficult time in history.

Bishop Edward Daly was truly Legenderry.
