    I was reading G K Chesterton's book, 'Orthodoxy' , this morning and I think he gave me an idea why unbelievers fall into frequent rages and 'cancel' and persecute so many unfortunates (including fellow travellers). Chesterton says that Catholics have something to aim for , they have a positive view of where they are walking towards, to be remade into the image of Christ. Of the pilgrimage towards holiness.

    Unbelievers do not have this of course. They can only have the opposite. A kind of vision of what is , 'Perfect' in the most perfect of all possible worlds. That everyone agree on what 'everyone' else agrees with at the present moment, Trangenderism, Homosexuality , Patriarchy, Politics and so on. So the only place we can go in such a notion of Perfection is to fail. So if someone else disagrees with this notion of Perfection they fall into a rage. Then they wind up in a rage all the time because of course there are always people somewhere who are not perfect as they are. Only when everyone is perfect will things be fine.

    Catholics on the other hand are inclined to think everyone is a sinner, including themselves so are not surprised by this. They rely on grace to save them. But unbelievers have no least notion of Salvific grace. So they have only their rage to comfort them.

    We do not want joy and anger to neutralize each other and produce a surly contentment; we want a fiercer delight and a fiercer discontent.

    There is also a Egyptian godess named Isis. I would be interested to know if the demon Fr. Ripperger talks about is related to the Egyptian godess. I suspect there is a link but I am not at liberty to say anymore.

    The worship of Isis was ended by the rise of Christianity in the fourth through sixth centuries CE. Her worship may have influenced Christian beliefs and practices such as the veneration of Mary, but the evidence for this influence is ambiguous and often controversial. Isis continues to appear in Western culture, particularly in esotericism and modern Paganism, often as a personification of nature or the feminine aspect of divinity.

    I read a paper on Isis last night. Some of these Egyptian God's (well all Pagan God's really) seem to fly into a rage very quickly. It reminds me of what St Paul said, that, 'Some people by worshiping False God's were worshiping demon's unawares'.

    Pagans Worshiped their God's basically because they feared them, which if they were really Demons in disguise is hardly surprising.

    We need to look after our old cathechisms. Same applies to our bibles.

    Recently I have been thinking of what Jesus said about cutting off hands and plucking out eyes. Its time to do amputations.

    Matthew 5:30

    And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.


    Bye , bye German Bishops! Bye bye French Bishops!

    But of course a Pope who agrees with these Perverts and Heretics is never,ever going to cut them off.

    I love that scene from the film , 'Becket', where he does the Excommunication. If only we had a Pope who would do this. Not only do it, but do it with such Liturgical style, drama and effect.

    Love it, love it, love it. :):):)

    does believing in the chastisement as a chronological event require belief in creationism?
    because I think believing the earth existed for millions of years ,then 10K- years of humans history and just this century its all going to end. Well, the logical implication is we're either incredibly-probabilistic unlucky (or lucky!) .If someone is a creationist we are ending a total universe-stage of 7K- years so its mathematically plausible?

    The Chastisement is not the End of World.
