THE STRAIGHT STUFF
  
 Last week in part one of his essay,Griff Ruby applied the various steps that leads to accepting evil to his own experiences. This week he employs the same process to Bishop Fernando Rifan whom even Bishop de Castro Mayer did not elevate. Perhaps he knew something many have discovered of late. As Griff provides how the Campos prelate fell into the clutches of the deceivers of Vatican II, he still holds out hope that the foundations established by his mentor Bishop de Castro Mayer and the conscience of doing the right thing despite the consequences will win out over the false promises of the Novus Ordo nemesis. Griff treats the decline and fall of the Campos contingent. His column also serves as a stark reminder to guard the Sacred Deposit and the cherished traditions lest the barbarians infiltrate further. He explains in part two of his two-part essay Bad Company Ruins Good Morals Part Two
THE FATIMA FILE
   As the year comes to a close Ron and Kirstie Finster have affixed the bookends to their argument on "The Third Secret of Fatima." If you recall, it was early this year on January 14 when they provided the fifth installment of their series, seemingly the final one. But in study over the year they have added an addendum with this sixth part and the piece which puts the puzzle together. Though it may have taken them almost a year to complete, it is well worth the wait for hidden within Pope Leo XIII's encyclical are answers to the analogy released that, reading between the lines we can see the apostasy warned of by the Blessed Mother. For it is Holy Mother Church which is indeed A City Upon The Mountain
The Agony of Aggiornamento
    The ambiguous agenda of Vatican II which incarcerated Catholic Truth in cells of anomalies that reek of modernism, humanism and other anathemas have been foisted on the faithful and now have come back to haunt big time those who had hoped they could trust the leaders of the Church, but, as Kathy Willett Redle reveals in her column today there are powerful periti from the Council who have burrowed beneath dogmatic truth to loosen foundations within the modern Vatican. At various times they surface from their foxholes via statements that, based on the aberration of ambiguity, give rise to relativism and further make the sheep ripe for the shearing. Why? Because they've been so dumbed down that they've had the wool pulled over their collective eyes and ears, unable to recognize the identity of who's really undermining the Truth Faith. She documents in her column, The Aberration of Ambiguity
Gabriel's Clarion
   Gabriel Garnica offers that benchmark of classics this time of year as a barometer of how far we have fallen and why. He documents that while Hollywood touts Italian Catholic Frank Capra's masterful and moral It's a Wonderful Life - which made Jimmy Stewart and his character synonymous with goodness - the corrupt moguls of modernism in celluloid circles can offer nothing today that can match it. What's worse, they have tried to dress up abominations and claim it contained the same message, the same caliber as Capra's classic. Gabriel shows why whatever they perpetrate on the public it not only can't measure up, but is dead on arrival because the premises and basic truths are undeniable. Life is the essential ingredient for goodness and goodness cannot but uphold life in all its stages from womb to the tomb. Gabriel exposes the charlatans who try to warp the message by providing the crystal clear message It's a Wonderful Life conveyed and shows how today's Hollywood opted for Pottersville as he explains in his column
He reveals the methods in his column
It's a 'Disposable' Life
Living our Faith
 We continue our treatment of the Final Four Things. Having dealt with death, Purgatory, and the Last Judgment, we devote for this issue the terrible torments of the netherworld from which one will never escape who dies in the state of mortal sin. We dare say that were every soul who chose the fires of hell, given a second chance, that nearly everyone would have lived and loved differently. As faithful Catholics, we have that opportunity to know what lies ahead for those not in the state of grace and that should compel us to remain always in the favor of Our Lord and Savior, His Blessed Mother and the Saints. To do otherwise is pure insanity. Yet so many still can't see this and that is a major reason why we provide these catechetical "points of enlightenment" in order to help more Catholics better understand their Faith, especially those who were not blessed with early formation of the Faith in the home and their parish school. Regardless of where any Catholic is in his or her journey toward salvation, he or she has to recognize that the Faith they were initiated into at the Sacrament of Baptism, making them truly members of the Mystical Body of Christ, is the most precious gift they have been given in life. If they truly want to live their Faith as it was taught in the Church of Peter to Pius XII, they must know the Faith and live it as Traditional Catholics. That is the only way to KEEP THE FAITH! Thus, in this issue we present The Torments of Hell

"Qui legit, intelligat"
 In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Third Sunday of Advent, also called Gaudete Sunday he pinpoints reasons for rejoicing if we are seeking the City of God as St. Augustine so brilliantly wrote in his masterful work of the same name. Father points out the Godincidence this year that this Sunday falls on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe when the Blessed Mother conveyed the same message to a humble peasant worker Juan Diego and gave evidence of how great the City of God could be with the miracle of the tilma and the conversion of 9 million souls and the ultimate end of human sacrifice by the Aztec nation as collectively they turned their backs on the city of man. If ever it was vital to do the same it is in these times when what the pagan Aztecs did pales in comparison to the vile abomination of abortion where human souls are sacrificed to the gods of convenience. The city of man leads only to peril and ruin as the holy Archbishop of Hippo asserts. It is a strange conundrum that the conciliar church boasts of a "New Springtime" when, in reality, it is a path in the city of man, not of God, and leads only to the autumn of dissipation of souls and the winter of discontent and ruin. Father explains in his sermon Rejoicing in the City of God
The Sanity of Sanctity
We continue our recent tradition of bringing you the Litany of Saints for the Saints and Feasts of each month. The original concept was submitted by Jacob Michael in September. Need some impetus to prepare for Christmas during this Advent as we begin Ember Week in Advent? What we provide is a litany to all of the saints whose feast days are celebrated in the month of December. Many of these saints are little-known and often are not, for that reason, invoked in our prayers. While there are several Advent feria days in this month, almost each day is dedicated to one or more saints historically and acknowledged in the traditional calendars. If you add this short litany to your daily Rosary, you will have the benefit of invoking the prayers of some of these lesser-known saints for December and better prepare to offer a worthy gift to the Christ Child on Christmas morn. Litany of the December Saints
Gabriel's Clarion
While it has been 'beginning to look like Christmas' since around Halloween, Gabriel Garnica zeroes in on one must-have item which has helped deteriorate society over the past 40 years and that is the Barbie Doll which beneath that seemingly innocent plastic veneer lurks the venom of feminism and the destruction of morals and the family unit that has locked millions of young girls into the compound of barbed wire where the synthetic idealistic life of Barbie is a figment of the Barbie inventor's imagination. While this might sound over dramatic, once one reads Gabriel's insightful article you too will realize the damage that has been done by its creator who gained her 'inspiration' from a pornographic German doll. It is a sobering piece that should wake up many to how insidious the devil has been in infiltrating every aspect of society. He reveals the methods in his column
The First Feminist Icon
Living our Faith
We resume our treatment of the Final Four Things. Having dealt with death and Purgatory, we now arrive at the judgment stage which are basically two judgments: our own Particular Judgment which will occur immediately upon each and every person's death when we stand alone before God to account for our brief life on this mortal earth. That is the first judgment. The second judgment, called both the General Judgment or Last Judgment is when every soul will stand publicly before God and all others and all will be revealed which was hidden for the Book of Life will be known to all and it will be either Heaven or hell for each and every soul. While God is all-loving and merciful, He is also the all-just Judge. Many in today's watered down catechesis don't understand this. That is another reason why we feel confident that these catechetical "points of enlightenment" will help more Catholics better understand their Faith, especially those who were not blessed with early formation of the Faith in the home and their parish school. Regardless of where any Catholic is in his or her journey toward salvation, he or she has to recognize that the Faith they were initiated into at the Sacrament of Baptism, making them truly members of the Mystical Body of Christ, is the most precious gift they have been given in life. If they truly want to live their Faith as it was taught in the Church of Peter to Pius XII, they must know the Faith and live it as Traditional Catholics. That is the only way to KEEP THE FAITH! Thus, in this issue we present The Last Judgment
Catholic PewPOINT
  
Editor Michael Cain looks back on the 'fruits' of this past year and is ready to spit out the pits of spoiled, rotting fruit that has been shoved down the throats of so many souls without them realizing the poisonous ingredients contained therein. The warning signs are everywhere and he identifies several in taking to task the whole attitude that lukewarm is okay. It is not and if the results of this past 40 years do not prove that, then perhaps the rest will be content to wait until the Lord spews forth from His mouth those who are neither hot nor cold. That doesn't sound like a very good idea to wait out the Lord's wrath. The other alternative is to realize what God wants and get to gettin' it done. It takes work and commitment and one apostolate, or one group isn't going to get it done. It takes a traditional village of dedicated Resisters to get the job done. Our primary task for 2005, as Cain points out in his editorial, is
Whether they sweat or shiver, we gotta get 'em squirming!
Gabriel's Clarion
Gabriel Garnica turns his focus to the infallible Dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on this 150th Anniversary of Pius IX's infallible proclamation. Gabriel reinforces in everyday lay terms and examples why Catholics must believe this dogma and the common sense of it all. To doubt or deny that Mary was ever not conceived free of all sin is anathema and, yet, as Gabriel points out, there is a tie-in to the apostate thinking so prevalent today in Protestant and New Order Catholic circles that Christ is not truly present in the Holy Sacrament of the Altar, but merely a symbol. It is these same heretics who are the first to deny or try to rationalize that Mary was conceived immaculately, dismissing it all away as Catholic medieval superstition or worshipping Mary. We all know such claims by these false prophets are poppycock for we have Christ's promise as well as Mary's. With that kind of assurance and common sense Gabriel points out the inevitable, that Our Lady was,is, and always shall be
The Most Consecrated Vessel
"Qui legit, intelligat"
In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception he highlights what Pope Pius IX emphasized in proclaiming the dogma of the Immaculate Conception 150 years ago. Father also reminds us that Mary is always there for us no matter what our need for she is in every way a mother. But she is the purest of mothers and the filth and obscenities that permeate society today so greatly offend her, her Divine Son and the Heavenly Father. She is the last line of defense before the Lord unleashes his just wrath on those who insist on following the prince of the world. Rather than taking the low road, Father encourages all to follow Our Lady. She stands as the Morning Star reflecting the grace from God onto us if only we accept it and follow her example of purity and obedience to God's will. He explains in his sermon Behold thy Immaculate Mother
Living our Faith
In this issue, to honor Our Lady and the dogma of her Immaculate Conception, we bring you a retro installment on the Blessed Virgin Mary for it is vital that every Catholic knows that nothing in Holy Mother Church's teaching has changed. That is another reason why we feel confident that these catechetical "points of enlightenment" will help more Catholics better understand their Faith, especially those who were not blessed with early formation of the Faith in the home and their parish school. Regardless of where any Catholic is in his or her journey toward salvation, he or she has to recognize that the Faith they were initiated into at the Sacrament of Baptism, making them truly members of the Mystical Body of Christ, is the most precious gift they have been given in life. If they truly want to live their Faith as it was taught in the Church of Peter to Pius XII, they must know the Faith and live it as Traditional Catholics. That is the only way to KEEP THE FAITH! Thus, in this issue we revisit our installment on The Blessed Virgin Mary
THE STRAIGHT STUFF
Griff Ruby bares his soul in sharing part of his past and the axiom that "there but for the grace of God," and good parents, he could have easily ventured down that slippery slope that leads to disrespecting authority and breaking the law for that slope is paved by the devil. Griff shows what to watch for and how easy it is to fall if we are not on our guard and return constantly to square one to think before we act, think of the consequences and, above all, realize if it is not in alignment with God's will, then it greatly offends Him and for that there are definitely consequences. If you think rejection by peers is disheartening, think about rejection by our Creator and that should sober anyone up thinking of cutting corners or saying, "that won't happen to me." That is why He gave us checks and balances such as the Ten Commandments and His Church to guide us. Yet, in our humanness we still rationalize. Griff lays out the danger signs in Part One of his essay Bad Company Ruins Good Morals
The Agony of Aggiornamento
 Kathy Willett Redle returns with a challenge to Novus Ordinarian writer Sandra Miesel who has set herself up as an expert on counseling Catholics that they don't have to worry about the Masonic influence for it is nothing but a fantasy and no facts to it and those who believe it are nothing but whackos. Kathy confronts the queen of Crisis and Envoy with the facts, laid out so clearly by previous reliable Successors of Peter that indeed, the Masonic movement was deliberate and very much exists within the modern church. The Masons won't want to hear Kathy's rebuttal, but faithful Catholics will for they must be vigilant and not buy the non-alarmist nonsense spewed by the likes of Miesel. The Freemason threat, the Modernist threat and the Communistic threat remain very much so: threats! Kathy reminds the reader of what Our Lord said about the father of lies in her short essay, The Oscillating Ostrich
Making Sense of Sensus Catholicus
  Father James F. Wathen, pioneering traditional author of The Great Sacrilege, has been recuperating from CLL and, by the grace of God, improving dramatically. Much of it has to do with his determined will to continue his mission as a priest until God finally says, "come home." Father James shares why he became a priest and why being a priest is so precious to him even when he is undergoing his own Calvary. It is an encouraging short piece that will hopefully perk vocations in young men to follow in his footsteps for we desperately need good and holy Traditional priests. We present this encouragement sent by Maria Hughes. We have titled it, A Priest Forever
"Qui legit, intelligat"
In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Second Sunday of Advent, he points out the encouragement of the Apostle Paul's words in today's Epistle "that through patience and the comfort of the Scriptures, we might have hope." In these times when all might seem hopeless in the face of the devastation done to Holy Mother Church from those who have infiltrated at every level and sought to besmirch the Bride of Christ, Father shows that their fruits will be in vain for Christ has promised His faithful that the wait, the suffering is worth it. Father provides the comfort of the Apostle John's words from the Apocalypse that best answers the why this has occurred at this time in history and why we must have hope. God has given us a glimpse of what awaits us by giving us the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is through this propitiatory offering of Christ to the Father by the priest on our behalf that we are closest to experiencing what Heaven truly is as Father illustrates in his sermon "In Him shall the Gentiles Hope"

Kevin Tierney identifies more of the insidious omissions and alterations that the Vatican II church has become notorious for, but so few realize or know why. Kevin provides the answers, beginning with how the NOM de-emphasizes the total dependence on the Sacred Victim - Christ Himself. The NOM's Christ is a 'good-guy' who tolerates everyone and everything. A traditionalist would have a difficult time assimilating those humanistic charismas to Our Lord Who is never ambiguous, never minces words. Sadly the architects of the new religion do mince words, making the service a mince pie of nonsense that goes out of its way to avoid the necessary negative theology and our total dependence on God. They dress it up with a lot of ba-da-bing glitz that blinds so many to the truth of what is really going on. Kevin cuts through the facade to expose the fraud that is New Order. He explains in his column comparing the Propers for the Second Sunday of Advent in his column
The Bad Ba-da-Bing of the NOM
Gabriel's Clarion
Gabriel Garnica tips his cap to those who decry the hypocrisy of two major networks - CBS and ABC, both of whom are notorious for Catholic bashing. He exposes the hateful hat of hypocrisy these honchos sport, revealing what long was felt to be safe and wholesome - a Mickey Mouse hat. The problem is that the whole new age, atheistic agenda was plotted by the Masons and Modernists to deceive generations into believing they no longer needed God, all they needed to do was "wish upon a star." Now many wish these two networks would change their ways in the face of their obvious hypocrisy. But that is like asking the mouse to design his own mouse trap sans cheese. It doesn't work. Just as the bishops who have caused the scandals trying to clean up the filth, or CBS doing their own internal investigation, it doesn't work for the fox is guarding the hen-house. There are all kinds of critters lose, from dragons to foxes, from wolves in shepherds' clothing to a seemingly innocent mouse. Gabriel explains in his column
Hypocrisy...The "Eye" and "Ears" Have It!
Living our Faith
We continue with our revised series on emphasizing the practical aspect of our Faith from a totally Traditional Catholic perspective. In this issue we complete the two-part installment on Purgatory in bringing to mind the Church Suffering in the great Communion of Saints. It is vital not to forget for one of the bad fruits of the conciliar church has been to blot out the idea of Purgatory for it conflicts with modern man's thinking in the great failed experiment to placate man, rather than God. Those who are responsible will be held accountable for they have caused the scandal that has jeopardized countless souls especially those who languish in Purgatory. That is why we provide this feature for we feel confident that these catechetical "points of enlightenment" will help more Catholics better understand their Faith, especially those who were not blessed with early formation of the Faith in the home and their parish school. Regardless of where any Catholic is in his or her journey toward salvation, he or she has to recognize that the Faith they were initiated into at the Sacrament of Baptism, making them truly members of the Mystical Body of Christ, is the most precious gift they have been given in life. If they truly want to live their Faith as it was taught in the Church of Peter to Pius XII, they must know the Faith and live it as Traditional Catholics. That is the only way to KEEP THE FAITH! Thus, in this issue we share ways to remember the Poor Souls with Heroic Acts of Charity in Purgatory Part Two

Griff Ruby applies the lessons conveyed each time anyone boards an airliner when the flight attendant reviews the safety precautions in case of an emergency. He notes that the emphasis is placed on assuring one's own physical faculties before being able to assist someone else and shows the analogy here of this common sense that one cannot help another if one is suffocating. That is exactly what is happening in the Novus Ordo and for those who claim they can "do more good" staying where they are is akin to someone saying "I don't need the oxygen, I can breathe on my own and I'm staying put" as the plane fast loses air pressure. Where will they be when that happens? Exactly where so many in the post-conciliar church are today, lacking oxygen which affects the brain and perhaps that is the answer why they have allowed themselves to be so dumbed-down over the past several decades where they will accept anything without ever challenging the facts and the constituted evangelic traditions that have clearly warned against such dangers. If one wants to gain altitude and level out their spiritual life, Griff's column is an eye-opener to those "comfortable" in their angst. He explains in his pragmatic column A Spiritual Lesson From An Airline Stewardess
Gabriel's Clarion
Gabriel Garnica completes his four-part series on the existing grotesque three-headed dragons which have been bombarding the ramparts of morality and faith. In this issue he exposes the Third Dragon, perhaps the most powerful and deadly for its very fiber is Masonic through and through. This dragon has resorted to the idiom 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' and they will be turned. That is exactly what this Three-headed Third Dragon's goal has been in wielding its triumverate poison of Modernism, Secularism and Atheism in every facet of society and especially within the conciliar church which either unknowingly or, God forbid, willingly allowed this monstrous beast entry. Once inside the walls, it is slowly shedding its skin and showing itself for what it truly is. The problem is that it has scorched so many souls that few remain unseared and able to recognize or defend against this ferocious, fetid, and fatal basilisk. While the First Dragon is running out of steam as more and more realize the obvious, and the Second Dragon's Achilles heel is being revealed, thus slowing it down, the Third Dragon seems to be gaining strength and growing larger, more fierce, threatening to engulf the world in its pyre of perdition for few within the Church today are willing to dig in and face this beast head-on. They fail to realize that this trilateral monster is no match to the Triune Divinity. Stand with St. Michael against the beast. Gabriel explains in his fourth and final installment:
The Third Dragon
Living our Faith
We continue with our revised series on emphasizing the practical aspect of our Faith from a totally Traditional Catholic perspective. In this issue we begin a series on the Church Suffering. Though we have just completed November, the month of the Poor Souls, we have purposely waited until the month is completed to bring this to emphasize that we should remember the Church Suffering every day of the year, not just during a certain specific time. While the promise of more souls is believed to happen during November, all prayers devoutly said for the Poor Souls will go a long way in purifying them so that they can be in the presence of the Beatific Vision. Today, when Purgatory has practically been forgotten by the modern church, we need to be ever more conscious of the Poor Souls for so many languish and are forgotten. That is why we provide this feature for we feel confident that these catechetical "points of enlightenment" will help more Catholics better understand their Faith, especially those who were not blessed with early formation of the Faith in the home and their parish school. Regardless of where any Catholic is in his or her journey toward salvation, he or she has to recognize that the Faith they were initiated into at the Sacrament of Baptism, making them truly members of the Mystical Body of Christ, is the most precious gift they have been given in life. If they truly want to live their Faith as it was taught in the Church of Peter to Pius XII, they must know the Faith and live it as Traditional Catholics. That is the only way to KEEP THE FAITH! Thus, in this issue we share the Church's doctrine on Purgatory
"Qui legit, intelligat"
In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the First Sunday of Advent, he reminds us of the promised Second Coming. When the Son of man returns on the clouds of Heaven with His Saints, will there be anyone of Faith left? The way the conciliar church has evolved that might be a problem, a big problem. For they have lost the Faith of our fathers, the Faith of the saints, the Faith founded by Christ. Instead, this newChurch is something that was spawned from the spoils of the French Revolution and incubated in Freemasonry, Modernism and Marxism to hatch in the laboratory of Vatican II where they concocted this monster that contradicts the Lord. It is anathema and there is no kind way to say what will happen to those who have knowingly prevented the pruning of the bad tree, allowing the blight to spread to other branches as the leaves are wilting, blown into oblivion by false doctrines. Indeed they will pass away, for the only thing that will be left standing when Christ returns will be His Words. Father reminds us of Our Lord's very clear words of warning to those who would refuse the fullness and entirety of His Gospel for man does not have the right to reject or alter the Word of God for He has established for all time The Church, Teacher of Truth

With a new liturgical year upon us, Kevin Tierney tackles the nuances between the essence of the Traditional Mass Propers and those invented by the Novus Ordo handlers who have gutted so much from the sacramental theology of Holy Mother Church. Like mad scientists the church of Vatican II has constantly been tinkering and trying to improve something that never needed such. Yet, in order to placate man and the Protestant mentality, the New Order has compromised so much that oozes out in the Novus Ordo Propers as Kevin illustrates in his column comparing the Propers for the First Sunday of Advent in his column

Gabriel Garnica continues his series on the existing grotesque three-headed dragon which advances at the gate. In this issue he identifies the Second Dragon which has so manipulated itself with its ugly three-heads into the social fabric of everything from media to marketplace to masses. Gabriel exposes these three heads of the Second Dragon: Radical Feminism, Sodomite Forces, and Social Martyrs and warns us that it is this very beast which seeks to undermine the family unit and all the inherent values that God has deigned. The heat intensifies as this Second Dragon sears and scorches souls after the First Dragon has ignited the coals of rebellion. Gabriel explains in his third part of "The Dragon," titled,
The Second Dragon

We continue with our revised series on emphasizing the practical aspect of our Faith from a totally Traditional Catholic perspective. In this issue we focus on the great heresy of Protestantism and how today's conciliar church has compromised so much to placate man, rather than God. Those who are responsible will be held accountable for they have caused the scandal that has jeopardized countless souls especially in the 16th century and in these last 50 years. In this installment we focus on the 16th century and what resulted from it and why we must be in concert with Holy Mother Church to be aware of what Protestantism really is. That is why we provide this feature for we feel confident that these catechetical "points of enlightenment" will help more Catholics better understand their Faith, especially those who were not blessed with early formation of the Faith in the home and their parish school.

Edward Ciaccio still holds out hope that his letter will spark something within the psyche, heart and soul of John Paul II and wake him from the lethargy that has caused the devastation of countless souls and the destruction of morality. These are the 'fruits' Ed presents to the post-conciliar pope, asking him if this is how he wants to be remembered. Time has just about run out for him to salvage anything. This is a last-chance missive to follow the reliable popes of the past and, like St. Pius X, restore all things in Christ. Oh, if only he would turn back before he stands before the Eternal Judge. Ed illustrates in an open letter the sad results of this papacy. The AntiCrusade Pope
THE STRAIGHT STUFF
Griff Ruby completes his two part essay on the topic of schism. In his second part he treats the Voice of Peter and how it has been silent for several decades and could very well continue mute until the Second Great Western Schism is healed. To combat this, Griff suggests a coming together of the various Traditional Catholic groups for united we stand, divided we fall. There is a vital need for a Traditional kind of 'ecumenism' - Trad-ecumenism, if you will, in bringing together those who uphold the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church for a more charitable understanding of each group whether they believe John Paul II is a valid pope or not. For it is the liturgy and doctrine that unites us in one common goal: a stronger resistance to those who would usurp the Voice of Peter. Griff explains in The Essence of Schism Part TWO
Gabriel's Clarion
Gabriel Garnica continues his series on the existing grotesque three-headed dragon which advances at the gate. In this issue he gives us a sneak peak inside the enemy's camp, showing what the supporters of this beast are plotting. Gabriel exposes their agenda. One thing is for sure: the Dragon lurks in his cave, below the surface of visibility, plotting and planning, ready to pounce and spew forth even more incendiary idiocy in trying to corral souls for satan.
What does the future hold as the Dragon prepares to scorch more souls? Gabriel shudders to think, but he avers that the faithful should all call upon those two great dragon-slayers of the Church - St. George and, of course, St. Michael the Archangel so we can all ready our shields, steady our swords for the Church Militant. We must be at our posts, ready to defend souls for the greater honor and glory of God in this fight to the finish. Gabriel outlines the enemy's plan in his second part, titled
The Dragon's Next Move
Christ or chaos
  Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey provides a provacative piece on his site which we want to bring to your attention for it deals, as Tom notes, with the fact that it has never been the case in the history of the Church that heresies and errors have been defeated by ignoring them. The great saints of the past forcefully battled heresies and errors, understanding that nothing less than the salvation of souls and thus the right ordering of societies depended upon their doing so. It must be no different in our own day. Those who contend, for example, that we should just be "content" with the beauty of the Traditional Mass without pointing out the inherent harm of the Novus Ordo do not have the history of the Church on their side. He explains in his column The Faith Must Be Defended
 Dr. Droleskey's book G.I.R.M. Warfare has just been released this week. In it, he provides a paragraph by paragraph analysis of the 1997 General Instruction to the Roman Missal. This was first published originally between March of 2001 and June of 2003 in Christ or Chaos and also ran sequentially as "The Germs of G.I.R.M. here. It has now been revised somewhat and expanded to include articles relevant to the necessity of restoring the Traditional Latin Mass, G.I.R.M. Warfare is the perfect gift to give to your friends and relatives who think nothing is wrong with the Novus Ordo or that the "next document" from Rome will solve the problems of liturgical abuses that have their origin in the Novus Ordo Missae itself. Christmas is coming. Give them the ideal gift to bring them back home to the True Faith. To order G.I.R.M.

We continue with our revised series on emphasizing the practical aspect of our Faith from a totally Traditional Catholic perspective. In this issue we focus on dangers to the unity of the Faith: Heresy and Schism and the safeguards Holy Mother Church takes to protect souls from these mortal wounds. We highlight the major heresies and schisms up to the Protestant Reformation in this issue so more can identify current heresies and schisms that are more prevalent today in the Vatican II church and which Griff Ruby covers in his current article. For these reasons we provide this feature for we feel confident that these catechetical "points of enlightenment" will help more Catholics better understand their Faith, especially those who were not blessed with early formation of the Faith in the home and their parish school. Regardless of where any Catholic is in his or her journey toward salvation, he or she has to recognize that the Faith they were initiated into at the Sacrament of Baptism, making them truly members of the Mystical Body of Christ, is the most precious gift they have been given in life. If they truly want to live their Faith as it was taught in the Church of Peter to Pius XII, they must know the Faith and live it as Traditional Catholics. That is the only way to KEEP THE FAITH! Thus, in this issue we share the Church's teachings on Vigilance Against Heresy and Schism
THE STRAIGHT STUFF
Griff Ruby steadies his arrows at the topic of schism and begins in this issue a two-part essay on what exactly schism is and who really is in schism. He details the logistics to show that it is truly misunderstood and that, more often than not - especially when emanating from those in support of the Vatican II church - the ones truly guilty of schism are those that separate themselves from any traditional Catholics whatsoever, traditional Catholics being who have upheld all of the authentic teachings of the Church, and therefore rejecting the alien modernist “gospel” of V-2 in obedience to St. Paul’s admonition in Galatians 1:8-10. While heresy and apostasy are sins against Faith, schism is a sin against Charity. Many bandy about the term in denigrating those who do not agree with them, thus, perhaps not even realizing that they are committing the sin of schism. Yet, where there is schism then at most only one side can be with Christ and the other against per Our Lord's words in Matthew 6: 24. Griff explains in The Essence of Schism Part ONE
Gabriel's Clarion
Gabriel Garnica sounds the clarion to signal all of the existing grotesque dragon which advances at the gate. This three-headed beast mocks the Holy Trinity and all that God holds sacred by slithering into civilization in the secular sector primarily because the ecclesial sector did not safeguard the drawbridge of infrangible doctrines and reinforce the ramparts against the savage beast's fiery projectiles of godlessness. As morals lapse, those seeking God's will grow thinner, yet they are the valiant knights who will dig in their heels to fight this vicious reptilian spirit of wickedness on high. Gabriel identifies the purpose of the different heads, all connected to the massive body of perdition seeking to sear souls in the fiery pit of hell. It is time to rise up and slay

Living our Faith
We continue with our revised series on emphasizing the practical aspect of our Faith from a totally Traditional Catholic perspective. In this issue we focus on the most important goal of each and every soul: their eternal salvation. Christ clearly delineated how one can be saved: Believe and be baptized. Likewise, He concluded without a doubt what would happen to those who did not: they would be condemned. Those are not our words, but the Son of God's! That is why we provide this feature for we feel confident that these catechetical "points of enlightenment" will help more Catholics better understand their Faith, especially those who were not blessed with early formation of the Faith in the home and their parish school. Regardless of where any Catholic is in his or her journey toward salvation, he or she has to recognize that the Faith they were initiated into at the Sacrament of Baptism, making them truly members of the Mystical Body of Christ, is the most precious gift they have been given in life. If they truly want to live their Faith as it was taught in the Church of Peter to Pius XII, they must know the Faith and live it as Traditional Catholics. That is the only way to KEEP THE FAITH! Thus, in this issue we share the Church's doctrines on The Church and Salvation
