Eight years ago Catharine Lamb contributed her talents with such things as "Notes from the Trenches" in an effort to share why neo-Catholics had become so entrenched in novelty and bought into whatever ambiguity was interpreted for them, even if it was out and out heresy. Truly sheep without shepherds she noted for they have no one to guide them on the narrow path which Christ confirms is the only way. Instead they are scattered, thinking they don't need a shepherd, don't need to follow the path millions have traveled to eternal safety over the past 2000 years. If it weren't for loyal, traditional Catholics, we might have totally forgotten our Faith and moral values, especially the Church's true stance on marriage and procreation. She pointed out how the sheep first were scattered when they rejected Humanae vitae. She also stressed that we should all be righteously incensed at what the conciliarists have done to our faith and our lives as she explained in her column Turning up the Heat

Seven years ago Mario Derksen reflected on the devastation that has been visited upon the Church. Just as we were discovering more each day, 9-11 was not an isolated, spur of moment passionate terrorist act, so also it was no happenstance or inspiration from above that triggered the outbreak of Vatican II and a new religion. And since then the epidemic has spread from "Ground Zero," a virus affecting the soul that was engineered by the very "technicians" and "spiritual physicians" we should have been able to trust. Looking back over 50 years now, we can clearly see the only antivirus to the venom of this new doctrine is to hold to the traditions handed down in doctrine and liturgy, and realize that Christ will triumph in the end just as His Mother's Immaculate Heart shall triumph and the Revolution defeated. Until then, realize that the revolutionists are in charge. Pray and resist as Mario explains in his column Ground Zero

Six years ago, Gabriel Garnica took note of the dark landscape modern advertising has contributed to shrouding by promising everything and delivering nothing. The gray, dark tones, almost void of color, seem to permeate television screens and magazine ads, selling hopes but never Hope. Marshall McCluhan once said the medium is the message, but the message today is lost in the sizzle, not in selling the steak, as much as what is at stake - the hot coals of hell where consumers are being softened to accept whatever the devil has to sell. The saddest part is that so many are buying it lock, stock and hellbent to sell their souls for a fleeting second of satisfaction that quickly dissipates as fast as a 15 second commercial. What is equally as sad is that the Church could have prevented this destruction had the Modernists not infiltrated her. He explains in his column Persuasion, Propaganda, Products and Politics = Perdition

Half a decade ago Father Kevin Vaillancourt got down to brass tacks in trying to hammer through the thick skull of so many hopeful "traditionalists" who had bought the charade that Benedict was going to improve things, was going to restore the Latin Mass and grant a universal indult for the Latin Mass. The Motu turned Novus Ordo-lite proved that fallacy. Father pointed out why this was all a pipedream, and also, even if Modern Rome had granted such it wouldn't change a thing since a universal celebret was granted "in perpetuity" by Pope St. Pius V for all priests at all times and all places. The fact is it still would only be scratching the surface. He stated this because those, who kept saying about Benedict "wait and see", can't see the modernist agenda he's always been primarily because that's who Ratzinger always was - a liberal modernist who, because of even more radical progressives in the conciliar church today, might have seemed conservative but he is definitely not traditional and never has been. If anyone doesn't understand that, we'll put it bluntly: It's the Doctrine, dummy! Father Kevin documented these facts in his article first published in The Catholic Voice in September 2005. We share his wisdom with you which we've titled How Long Does It Take To "Wait and See?"

At this time back in 2006 many waited for a comprehensive summary of the Debate on the validity and credibility of Sedevacantism that was held in Spokane, Washington in October and no one could have put it clearer than Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey who highlighted the strengths and weaknesses of each of the two participants. He pointed out that for a debate to have a defined effect, the format has to be such that points are addressed without evading the issue or else it becomes separate entities that do not warrant debate but more replicate the incessant political commercials so prevalent this time of year. Dr. Droleskey, who graciously agreed to moderate the debate between John Lane and Robert Sungenis on whether the conciliar popes could possibly be Catholic, remained firm in his integrity to stay neutral until well after the debate. You can listen to the debates themselves at St. Robert Bellarmine.net. The statute of limitations for being neutral had passed and it was time for Tom to speak out and he graciously allowed us to format his cogent comments from Christ or Chaos for this column four years ago this month with Debating Past Each Other

Three years ago on the feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, Cyndi Cain reached ahead to an apparition that occurred sixteen years after Rue du Bac to 1846 and the remote mountain slopes of La Salette to share the significance of the apparition of Our Lady there. The Blessed Mother's Church-approved message has been, for the most part, hidden and dismissed by operatives of the counterfeit church of conciliarism. Cyndi pointed out how, from early in the 19th Century, Heaven provided all the help necessary to stave off the Great Apostasy and still we didn't listen. From the Miraculous Medal to our Lady's copious tears to the Sun spinning it would seem man has been deaf and dumb to all Heaven has warned. Now we face exactly what our laxity has asked for: Rome has lost the faith and become the seat of the antichrist. Will we continue in the perilous path or turn back to God before it is too late? Have we not learned from the mistakes of the Jews of the Old Testament, even when we have the powerful aid of God's Own Mother to guide us? Our Lady of Perpetual Help is perpetually trying to help. The problem lies with those she's seeking to protect and warn. Cyndi shared why, at LaSalette, Our Lady Wept for a Reason Our Lady Wept for a Reason

Editor Michael Cain provided a sober commentary on how America has reached it's final crossroad. Just two short years ago he focused on the quandary of where this country goes from here is either by falling on our knees in repentance and reparation, donning sackcloth and ashes as God's chosen people did in Old Testament times, or suffer the consequences of this sinful generation that has gone far, far further than even Sodom and Gomorrah had for that was at least confined to city limits, if you will, whereas what has happened in the United States has permeated every home. We have a choice. But what do you do when even those choices hold no answers? You look to the Answer, the only Answer to all our woes and trust in Jesus for everything. If we do not, we will deserve the chastisement that will grow worse, much worse under an Obama dictatorship. The similarities of Obama to godless, ruthless revolutionaries and dictators of the past is all too real to dismiss. Yet so many mesmerized citizens are following this pied-piper right towards the abyss, smiling all the way. Oh, when will they wake up? When it's too late? When will they realize there is only One Who can lead us out of this "Valley of Death"? Cain syllogizes our only sure choice in his editorial We have met the enemy and he is us

One year ago Stephen Grieve continued his multi-part series intended to stir the sensibilities of those who continue to elude the inevitability that a true pope would never and could never do what the conciliar leaders in Rome have done for the past 50 years. For his sixth installment, Steve provided more scriptural evidence that Peter was the one Paul was protecting for while Paul was preaching to the Greeks, Peter was in Rome laying the foundations for the Church entrusted to him by Christ in St. Matthew 16: 18-19. It was a commonly held secret that Peter was the chief man above all in the position he had been appointed to by Our Lord. Steve shows how this was known as was the fact that sometime in the future another man (katechon) [ό κατέχων] 'acting as a pope' would rise to the position Peter held and would lead the Church away from Christ into apostasy. Paul was speaking in code for it did not pertain to the generation he was preaching to, but to a later generation - ours. Hopefully all will take note of this sixth part of "Towards a Scriptural Brief proving Sede Vacante" with The 'Secret' and The Roman Connection - Further Backgrounder on 2 Thessalonians 2: 6-7
