Imitation of Christ

As We rise for battle We are encouraged and strengthened by the words and example of Our Lord Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of St. Matthew 11, 29, Christ encourages Us with the words:

Lest anyone ever misjudge Our Lord as having the least sin or fault, We must tell you that everything that He said and did was without the least fault. His entire conduct and all his words are examples for our imitation. His example must be looked on in the entire setting, and not just as extracted and disjointed words and phrases.

When Our Lord found evil men buying and selling in the Temple He became indignant, and He drove them out of the House of God with a just and meaningful force. When He resorted to name-calling the Pharisees He did that to defend the public from following their words and example. In St. Luke 12, 1, it is recorded:

It should be noted that the Vicar of Christ does not have the leisure to step back while evil goes on. Silence could bring him eternal damnation. Just consider the Vow that We had to take the day after Our election as Pope. Here are some pertinent points:

Keep Sacred Art Pure and Holy

We begin Our protestation in regard the diabolical immoral pictures that have crept into Catholic art. On top of the list of corrections are the statues and pictures that offend against common modesty. It is not easy to define where offensive dress or the lack of modesty must be entirely excluded from Catholic use in art. Proper decorum should lean on the side of modesty over any other consideration of the art in the object. One can stand in awe and admiration before the Pieta statue in St. Peter’s Basilica, but one cannot extend the time of a glance when looking at the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel where Adam is entirely nude, front on.

Lest you think We are the first to make these corrections We must tell you about Our visit to the Vatican in 1970. Our tour guide took time out to tell all of us the joke in the picture over the main altar in the Sistine Chapel. Michaelangelo was criticized by a Cardinal for the unwanted nudity in his art. In revenge Michaelangelo drew a picture of the Cardinal in hell in that picture over the main altar. A real effort must be made to clean up all immodesties in all of the objects of art in all places.

With sadness We tell you how people see this present and lingering problem. A Capuchin priest who studied in Rome after returning to the United States wrote an article, and he wanted to include a quotation printed on the pedestal of a statue in the Vatican. He had another priest friend, then in Rome, go to the Vatican library to copy that quotation from the base of a statue. While he searched around for the statue he over-heard some people remark: “I wonder what this sinner is looking for here?” They implied that he was a voyeur, living his trade. No person should ever have to fear being judged as an evil person when he visits any Catholic institution.

About twenty years ago a Catholic girl visited the Vatican with her classmates. Upon seeing the pictures she brought home her father was amazed. He said to Us: “Father, can you tell me how they can have pictures and statues in the Vatican that you and I are not permitted to have in our homes?” Our response was this. “I am glad that you asked that question. Once you get an answer for that question tell it to me, for I need an answer to that question also.”

There are other problems with pictures and statues that must be addressed. It is called diabolical subliminal subversion. For better or worse people frequently speak with signs. The Romans called for the life or death of a fallen gladiator by thumbs up or thumbs down. From parting ships those on board and those on the shore throw love kisses. Our problem in regard Catholic pictures is the presence of diabolical signs, which for the most part are unknown to the general public. However, they are known to the enemies of God and His Church. They laugh at Catholics, as one would be inclined to laugh at one who forgot to button his clothing.

For a starter We shall tell you that a large portion of Catholic art in books and in pictures, there are devil’s curses painted in their hands. This is done by extending the first and fourth fingers of the hand(s) while curling down the center two fingers. We are absolutely horrified when We see such a thing done to a picture the Baby Jesus.

This problem could be new territory for many of you. Hence, We shall introduce you to a scholarly publication on this matter. It is MASONIC AND OCCULT SYMBOLS ILLUSTRATED includes 728 illustrations by Dr. Cathy Burns (opposed to the occult), published by Sharing, 212 E. 7th St. (Y), Mt. Carmel, PA 17851-2211. Without even opening the cover of the book you find on the cover the devil sign with the hand, what looks like a gothic vestment upside down, the Masonic compass and square and the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. It holds aloft the flame of the French revolution – liberty, equality and fraternity. To those who know the meaning of all this it is blood curdling.

We have on Our desk Leonard Goffine’s book explaining the Epistles and Gospels, dated 1880. It has an Imprimatur and many Episcopal approvals. As an aside, the Angelus Press in St. Mary’s Kansas has republished this book, and all the pictures have been removed. To that We say, thanks be to God.

The devils in human form leave nothing untouched. The pre-Vatican II Roman Missal that We use at Mass is filled with such symbols. Hence, this problem is no accident, but it is diabolical scheme to belittle Christ and His Church.

We are reminded of the parable the Gospel (Matthew 13) where the sewer planted his fields. When the plants came up the workers found cockle among the wheat. The workers could not explain it, but the master told them that an enemy did it. It was done while they were asleep.

In the parable the instruction to the workers was not to remove the cockle but leave the wheat and cockle grow up together, lest while removing the cockle the wheat would also be destroyed.

We have to take a middle course between Christ’s driving the moneychangers out of the Temple and the master leaving evil plants grow up with good plants. In Our present position in exile there is very little We can do except to tell the faithful to avoid personal damage, and correct what you can.

For the future, when new pictures and statues are made they must be, as We already decreed, judged worthy objects for devotion. Just as literature must pass with an imprimatur, so too pictures and statues must be passed with a type of imprimatur.

This subliminal seduction is so secret and cunning that it slips past the unwary observer. Frequently all one sees are the center two fingers united and the first and fourth finger slightly pushed aside. Also, those devil artists just love to turn the thumbs into goats horns. We could go on and on with these hand aberrations, but for now this takes care of the basic problem.

Frequently you see official pictures of past Popes with their right hand extended in blessing. That is very good in itself. However, somewhere in history a satanic symbol crept in. It can even be seen in St. Peter’s Basilica where such a form is built onto St. Peter’s bronze statue.

We shall give you what Dr. Cathy Burns says of this form of blessing. On page 232 she says: “Another hand gesture is that of benediction. The shadow represents Satan. The shadow according to Satanists is the symbol of malediction. A modernized use of this sign appeared in the Daily World of October 18, 1969, as the insignia …of the Communist GIs and Vets for Peace. The Pope makes this sign frequently, especially when giving blessings.” [End quote]

Our question is this. How did that protocol of the Pope using that hand formation come into existence? If the Popes did not know what they were doing, then no malice can be ascribed to them. In Our room We have two official pictures of Pope Pius XII. In one his right hand is high above his shoulder, and in the other one the hand is below the shoulder and to the right side of his chest. Both pictures have the first two fingers sticking up and the other two fingers curled down, just as Satanists use the sign. We have a sacred icon with the same finger formation, quite obviously out of sync with the rest of the picture. In Our altar Roman Missal for the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus His right hand is extended in “blessing” with His two first fingers extended. We are horrified!

This sign, Dr. Cathy Burns says, is a sign of malediction. That is just the opposite of a benediction. We know what the Satanists are calling that sign; hence, We never use it. By the way We had an offer by trained artists to draw an official picture of Our self. Knowing the cunning that slipped by Pope Pius XII We refused to have such a picture produced.

Put it this way, the enemy in battle laughs up his sleeve when he sees the leader of the opposition forces leading his troops with their flag, even if he does it in ignorance. This sign of blessing is even put on statues of Our Lord, notably on the blessing hand of the Infant Jesus of Prague.

We must address another problem of shame, which is an operation of embarrassment that needs to be driven out of the Temple, so to say. The problem is the obelisk. We shall take quotations from Dr. Burns’ book, listed above, from pages 341 to 343. In short the obelisk stands for the phallus of Osiris, the Egyptian pagan god.

Here are some quotations: “The obelisk is a long pointed four sided shaft, the uppermost position of which forms a pyramid. The word ‘obelisk’ literally means ‘Baal’s Shaft’ or Baal’s organ of reproduction.” The Washington monument in Washington DC is an obelisk.

“Of course, the Masons and Egyptians aren’t the only ones who had high regard for the obelisk. In front of the Vatican stands the very same obelisk that once stood in Egypt.” Ralph Woodrow says of the obelisk: “…now (the obelisk) stands before the mother church of Romanism!” It stands in the center of the court before St. Peter’s Basilica. When We visited the Vatican in 1970 We saw the obelisk, and they told Us that that very stone obelisk was imported from Egypt, but no indication was given that it had been a pagan altar dedicated to a pagan god in Egypt.

The Vatican obelisk weighs 320 tons, and it is 132 feet high. In 1585 Pope Sixtus V had it brought to the Vatican. He made it a crime punishable by death if anyone broke the silence while it was erected. It was most difficult to get a contractor to set it up. Domenico Fontana took the fearful responsibility to erect the obelisk. Dr. Burns quotes: “With 45 winches, 160 horses, and a crew of 800 workmen, the task of moving began. The date was September 10, 1586.” When the task was finished, “…there was the sound of hundreds of bells ringing, the roar of cannons, and the loud cheers of the multitude.” We tell you, one and all, We are breathless at this terrible act of blasphemy. That took place 419 years ago. God have mercy on all of us. Christ whipped the moneychanger out of the Temple, and now it is time for Us to do likewise. If God ordains that We reside in the Vatican some day, this monument to Satan, the obelisk, will be removed and in its place there will be a truly devotional statue of Christ or St. Peter. In Our Altar Missal for the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul on June 29th the picture of St. Peter’s Basilica is shown with the clear making of the obelisk, as the centerpiece of the picture. We sure hope that the perpetrators of this crime for four hundred years found forgiveness in repentance when they died.

The extreme irony of the obelisk as the center piece in front of St. Peter’s Basilica, is this, whenever the Pope blesses the faithful in the patio he stands facing the stone altar which represents the phallus of the Egyptian god, Osiris.

Of this shame We have only one bit of consolation. The High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem (God’s one true Church at that time) condemned Christ to death. God used that shame and suffering to redeem the human race. May Our Lord use this, once it is corrected, for the conversion of many who are living in shadows of death and crass ignorance today.

Subliminal Seducation -
A Universal Leading to Perdition

Subliminal means a level of learning and knowing, different from normal seeing and hearing. Thus a picture of Christ or His Blessed Mother can be made into pornographic picture to lead one into sin and hell just as well as an overtly pornographic picture can do. The difference is that when a nude picture openly appears one sees it, and he can defend himself from damage and sin by turning his eyes and head away from the book, magazine or viewing screen.

Such an evil seduction can now be found in a catechism, as the St. Joseph Catechism for children. It is in the Goffine 1880 book ad nauseam. With a little practice you can find this evil seduction. Generally you find it in the clouds in the form of devil faces, devil snakes and alligators. One can also find nudity, forms of rebellion and the like. What is most terrible is that the public is not aware that this is happening to them, and they wonder why they experience terribly severe temptations against the virtue of purity or any virtue. Why do men who are generally honest with their wives, all of a sudden chase women all over town?

You may say that you cannot find what We are speaking about. That is all right when the pictures you are viewing are free from subliminal seduction pictures. However, those picture and sounds are out there. Once children are trained to find those things they can spot them even where adults miss them. Such subliminal messages do not end with pictures. We have seen what seemed to be perfectly good carpets that were all filled with subliminal faces, devils, snakes and the like.

It may interest you to know that even a civil government, Canada for example, forbids the use of subliminal advertising.

Some companies advertise their products with subliminal pictures. A person shopping in a grocery store may wonder how come that all a sudden he puts a specific food product into his grocery cart, when he never before used or even thought of that product. The advertisers take an unfair advantage of the public. That is something that is dishonest, and it should never be used.

This is a special study in itself, and you may be able to get literature on it in the library. Years ago We had a book on it, and We warned Our faithful to beware of this evil. In television one must suspect this dirty trick in progress when flashing faces and similar graphics, are presented. You do not see anything evil, but your unconscious mind sees it for better or for worse. If business men are willing to seduce customers to buy their products, you can be sure that the devil united with his two legged minions on earth does the same thing to sell his rebellion to God’s laws. He can scream in hell “I have conquered you," when he gets people to commit sin.

Just what are you going to do about this problem? Now that you know of it you should apply it in your family. Also love of you neighbor should urge you to help others who need this knowledge. It can mean the difference between heaven and hell. Be sure to suspect the media whether that media be in print or the television screen.

As to this seduction, watch and pray that you be not lead into temptation. If you are tempted in any evil way quickly turn to God in prayer, and pray for the strength to oppose sin and persevere in doing good, and always remaining in the state of sanctifying grace.

The Passion Play - by Mel Gibson

People who do their thinking (if you can call it that) with their feelings are poor sources of truth. Just because the world, whether that is the religious world or secular world, does it, makes no difference.

The first thing that We must address in Gibson’s Passion play is the problem of picture art. Surreal pictures are not art. If We send you a photograph of Our self you will not call that photograph a work of art. If an artist draws lines on Our face that brings out (hopefully true) a witty mind and a holy heart, only then can it enter the field of art. The production of the Passion play by Mel Gibson has no title to be called picture art.

Leaving aside the above observations on it not being picture art, just what good can come of that movie production? Will people repent of their sins properly? They may grieve as Judas grieved, but that did him no good. In order for Judas and the people of today to get profit from seeing any Passion Play they must come to Christ’s one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church, outside of which there is no salvation, meaning, no going to heaven.

It is forbidden to bring gruesome objects into Catholic devotion. From the practice of the Church and Our decree given here, none of the scenes of the Gibson production may be brought into Catholic Churches or into Catholic paper publications. Dearly beloved, do not go to that movie, and do not buy the book, which has been produced from that movie. These products will do you no good, and they may do you a good deal of harm. It is reported that Gibson has already made four hundred million dollars on this sacred mystery of our Catholic faith. We observe that this smacks of blasphemy. To appease the Jews of today, Mr. Gibson readily admits that he removed the words of the Jews: “His blood be on us and our children.” We pray that Mr. Gibson may some day enter the true Catholic Church, so as to have the hope for eternal salvation.
