Right Civil Order & National SovereigntyIt is certain that God not only created this world, but He also determined how it was to be ruled, in the best interest of men working out their eternal salvation.Any reader of history knows that, as a general rule, the world has been divided into independent sovereign states. It is also true that at times tyrants, Julius Caesar being one of those, did conquer vast areas. However, since those extended territories were contrary to nature they went back into individual, independent and sovereign states. Once again we are living at a time in history when an entirely unnatural union of the peoples of the world is taking place. We are speaking of the unnatural juridical take-over of the nation states by the United Nations Organization. The telltale signs of this take over can be seen in two arenas. One is the union of states in Europe, and the other is the un-announced obliterating of the border between the USA and Mexico. Consider the new union in Europe, which is much opposed by all thinking citizens of those, up until now, nation states. The union ploy that effected that union was the acceptance of the Euro money on the first of January 2002. Lest anyone deny this observation We shall quote from an article by Paul Craig Roberts. His article is entitled Europe into the Blender. When things that do not easily mix are put into a blender they are forced to be mixed, and so it is with the countries of Europe today. Preparing the British for their demise as a people, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw wrote in the Independent on Nov. 22 that “in a world where states and the interest of their citizens are so obviously inter-dependent, we need to rethink our attitudes to concepts like ‘independence’ and ‘sovereignty.’” Prime Minister Tony Blair agrees. The war against terrorism, he says, has made national sovereignty out-of-date. When multicultural diversity replaces “a people” cohesion must be provided by coercion. Coercion is the response to the massive Third World immigration into European nation-states. The erosion of “a people” by diversity has evoked tyrannical laws in an effort to coerce an artificial commonality.” As we wake from some kind of sleep we see in the fog before us that England, France, Germany and the other European countries no longer exist as independent sovereign states. The fog of mystery clears up as one reads the words of Tony Blair, the Prime Minister of what is left of England. The quote is: “The war against terrorism, he says, has made national sovereignty out-of-date.” Strange but true, the terrorism of September the eleventh in New York and Washington DC is being used as the fulcrum to roll the tremendous stone of a United Nations Organization take-over of the entire world. The elite haters of God and man in the dissolving nations give their complete cooperation by making and enforcing coercive laws that force the honest citizens of the various countries to live together with people of all nations. Thus, there is no national personality which is part and parcel of every sovereign nation. The forced commonality is made possible by means of a blender process of utmost insensitivity and cruelty. It is so evil and against nature that it just cannot long exist. Over the past years We have observed with dismay the free flow of illegal immigrants over the border between Mexico into the USA. The illegal aliens get more privileges than the honest tax paying citizens. They get education, medical care, relief and the like. Now the government of Mexico is making it that Mexicans who go to the USA can have a dual citizenship, so they are no longer loyal citizens of either country. The rulers of both countries have state visits and conferences to assure the citizens that everything is well. Once again, as Paul Craig Roberts observes, insensitive and cruel laws enforce the artificial union of the western states of the USA with the melting state of Mexico. The border fence between Mexico and the USA is now slightly more than a replica of the Great Wall in China. Without going into the real cause of the September eleventh terrorism We shall comment that it is being used as the lever to put the United Nations Organization in control of the whole world. As seen above, Tony Blair gave out the secret, and here are his words again, “The war against terrorism,” he says, “has made national sovereignty out-of-date.” He presumes that he is speaking for the tyrannical leaders of the whole world. As people lose faith in God and His laws, they concoct methods of living that are unnatural. You see the spread of divorce, the first step in destroying the family unit. Then it moves into one parent families. The trend continues in homosexual and lesbian marriages, plus their having adoptions. All these sinful aberrations must be corrected before there will be peace and harmony on earth as our Creator determined it must be. Through the natural light of reason that man has from God, man knows that he must have a stable social order according to the divine plan, explained in detail by the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. Every individual and every state is obliged to be members of God’s Church. Our brother in the papacy, Pope Boniface VIII, in his Bull, Unam Sanctam, gives in no uncertain terms the explanation of the unity of Church with the individual states in the civil order. Men violate that divine teaching at their own grief in this life, and hell in the next life. They who will not be ruled by God will be ruled by tyrants. We invite all men of good will to come to the Church which is the harbor of truth and the unity of faith. Let the words of the angels, sung to the shepherds in Bethlehem, be your consolation: Peace on earth to men of good will.

Over the years We have seen those under Our direction become adults, and some now are even old people. We are constrained to repeat warnings to Catholics to avoid the theological and moral pestilence known as modernism. We shall give those who are zealous for correct thinking in regard the faith the sources where they can learn how to think and live as children of God and heirs of heaven. The chief sources of papal documents are: THE ENCYCLICAL QUANTA CURA AND THE SYLLABUS OF ERRORS (with 80 condemned errors listed), issued by Pope Pius IX in 1864. Then 43 years later THE SYLLABUS CONDEMNING THE ERRORS OF THE MODERNISTS (LAMENTABILE SANE) issued by Pope St. Pius X in 1907. (with 65 condemned errors listed). Thanks be to God all the above documents can be found in THE CHURCH TEACHES, by Jesuit Fathers of St. Mary’s College, St. Mary’s Kansas. It is sold by TAN Books (address given above) for $18.00 plus p/h $5.00.There is another book of great value entitled LIBERALISM IS A SIN by Fr. Felix Sarda y Salvany & translated by Conde B. Pallen @ $9.00 plus p/h $3.00; buy it from TAN Books (address given above). If you purchase more than one of these books check TAN Books for the total postage. When being directed with Catholic literature We get Our assurance that the literature is without mistakes by reason of the imprimatur. This book, by the way, has its (in the original) imprimatur from the Vatican. In the preface you will learn the reason why the book went all the way to Rome for its imprimatur. We sure would like to wet your appetite to get you to purchase this book, read it with common sense and keep it at your side for the rest of your life. Without knowing it, you, whoever you many be, may be infected with the sin of liberalism. Pope St. Pius X called liberalism, in disgust, the quintessence of all heresy. Here is a quotation telling you how the liberal Catholic looks at his Church: “Amongst Catholic Liberals, many go to Mass, even make novenas, and yet when they come into contact with the world, they lead the lives of practical Liberals. They make it a rule ‘to live up to the times,’ as they call it. The Church they believe to be somewhat out-of-date, an old fogy, that she is held back by a certain set of reactionaries, ultramontanes; but they have hopes that she will in the course of time catch up with the modern spirit of progress, of which they are the vain.” (page 43). The end of Chapter 16 reads as follows: “In short, the tainted Catholic cannot comprehend that direct opposition, per diametrum, of which St. Ignatius speaks in his Spiritual Exercises. He does not know how to give a direct blow. He knows no other tactics than to attack on the flank, tactics which, in religion, may perhaps be convenient, but are never decisive. He wants to conquer, but on the condition of not wounding the enemy, of never disturbing his ease or his rest. The mere mention of war painfully agitates his nerves and rouses all his pacific dispositions. With the enemy in full assault, with the implacable hatred and cunning of falsehood almost sweeping over him, he would withstand the hostile charge and stem the overwhelming tide with the paper barriers of an illusive peace. In a word, we may recognize the extreme and the moderate Liberal by his bitter fruits: the tainted Catholic may be recognized by his distorted affection for Liberalism and its works. The extreme Liberal roars his Liberalism; the moderate Liberal mouths it: the tainted Catholic whispers and sighs it. All are bad enough and serve the devil well. Nevertheless, the extreme Liberal overreaches himself by his violence; the fecundity of the tainted Catholic is partially sterilized by his hybrid nature; but the moderate is the real Satanic type; his is the masked evil, which in our times is the chief cause of ravages of Liberalism.” (pages 80 & 81). We want to place in the hands of even the very poor, a short account of the ravages of liberalism as it ravaged the bishops of the Church at bogus Council Vatican II (1962-1965). The booklet 6”+4” fifty pages booklet entitled: ALTA VENDITA, also “The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita, A Masonic Blueprint for the Subversion of The Catholic Church” by John Vennari. The booklet sells for $2.50 from TAN Books, see address above. The ad on the booklet is: This little booklet examines The Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita – the once secret papers of the Masons which outline a plan to subvert the Catholic Church. The author quotes the actual Masonic document which both Pope Pius IX (1846-1878) and Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903) asked to be published. This document describes the Masons’ diabolical strategy to destroy the Church by infecting her leaders with Liberal ideas. In this way, Catholics would be promulgating Masonic ideals under the mantle of seemingly legitimate Catholicism. The Book describes how far the plot has succeeded, and it includes an appendix detailing the aims of Freemasonry, as well as Leo XIII’s denunciation of that society. It also contains the famous Oath against Modernism required by Pope St. Pius X of all clergy, plus an official prayer for the conversion of Freemasons. This dynamic little booklet gives the reader an awareness of the dangers posed by Freemasonry and will expose the truth about the secret aims of this powerful secret organization.Our one caution to you is this. The author of the booklet, John Vennari, still believes that John Paul II is the Pope, and that the Church he rules is the Catholic Church. Do not follow him in that judgment, for if you do “the last state of you will be worse than the first.” There is a Chinese saying which states the following: “Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for the rest of his life.” We give you the titles of the above books on modernism so that you may be fed that truth for the rest of your life. The Catechism of the Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas
At the Council of Trent the Council Fathers made a wonderful display of how much they valued the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. They placed the Summa Theologica on the altar beside the Latin Vulgate Bible, translated by St. Jerome, which is the official Bible of the Catholic Church. Very few people can read with profit the original Summa Theologica. However, here is a wonderful chance to profit from the simplified form of the Summa Theologica. Purchase the above mentioned book from Roman Catholic Books, Post Office Box 2286, Fort Collins, CO 80522-2286 for $17.95 (hardcover) plus $2.95 h/p. Phone: (970) 490-2735. Here is the publisher’s introduction. “Pope Benedict XV wrote an enthusiastic Preface for this book of St Thomas’ teaching, arranged for Catholics with no theological training. Fr. Pegues takes two classic works – the Summa and the catechism – and blends them into one of the most remarkable catechetical titles of the 20th century: the basic questions and tenets of the Faith – and after each question, the answers from the great St. Thomas himself.”Once more, here is an example of giving you the knowledge by which you are to live your faith to the fullest. Lent is HereGod made it that even the most simple and poorly educated persons can work out their eternal salvation. Every year the Church instructs the faithful by means of Her feasts and holy seasons, how to walk on the way to heaven. Lent is the season of penance, and during it, more than ordinary acts of penance are required; as for example, the forty days of fast. The word penance means three things: prayer, fasting and almsgiving.By prayer one raises his mind to think of God and his heart to love God. It is a foretaste of heaven, for in heaven the Angels and Saints have one great enjoyment, and that is the beatific vision. Viewing God and praising God is the basic joy of heaven, for all eternity. While on earth we must use prayers for four purposes, namely: adoration, thanksgiving, expiation and thanksgiving. Fasting is giving up all sin and things that hinder us on the way to heaven. By all forms of fasting and abstinence the passions are trained to behave in a godly manner. Parents should, by word and example, teach their children to deny themselves especially during penitential seasons. Have them give up, for example, all candy for all of Lent. The un-mortified child tends to become a monster of sin and greed. Almsgiving means helping the physically poor. Christ said “The poor you will always have with you.” In I John 3, 17 God says: “He that hath the substance of this world and shall see his brother in need and shall shut up his bowels (heart) from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?” There are two mandatory givings: one is the support of the Church and the other is helping the poor, and first of all, the poor of the Catholic community. Be sure to observe the support of the Church, for God blesses you trough the ministers of the Church, and you must support them with the things necessary for daily living. When a girl or boy leaves home he/she should immediately realize this obligation as a personal duty. Checks addressed Pope Pius XIII and Fr. Robert Cardinal Lyons help the two ministers in your service now. Also consider giving yourselves as priests and Religious in the service of the Church. Besides keeping all the Commandments in order to receive and keep sanctifying grace one should always strive for greater holiness. Thus, address God: Oh, God give me an increase of the theological virtues Faith, Hope and Charity: and increase of the moral virtues of Prudence, Justice. Temperance, and Fortitude.My all of you have a grace filled Easter – now and forever, Amen.
