Alleluia, Lent is over. Or is it? After six weeks of Lent it was a shock to the system to turn on the television and read the paper and realize all the things that have happened since Ash Wednesday. In truth, Lent was like a parallel universe in not following the news other than occasionally catching Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey's informative articles that provide the perfect Catholic perspective to the situation of the affairs of church and state today. In a way, I have to envy those who choose the cloistered life. They're basically immune from the everyday temptations and trials the world throws at those who must remain in the world, but not of it.

    Now with Lent 2012 in our rear-view mirror I'm at a crossroads as I look ahead. I would love to return to publishing a new issue each day, but my duties to my loving wife Cyndi and meeting our financial needs hinder that ambition. First, since her release from the hospital her health has weakened - partly because of withdrawal from previous medicines that worked and the experimentation of new prescriptions that don't. Yeah, makes no sense, but then we are seeing just the tip of the iceberg as to what Obamacare will wreak - or is that wreck? - because the doctors' hands are tied and they're bound by the confounded regulations that even they can't fully comprehend, but it is the law - another unjust law at that.

    Hopefully the Supreme Court will overturn the entire bill and Cyndi could get her former doctor back for under his care over an intermittent period of fourteen years when we were here in San Diego during nine of those years from 1998-2002 and from 2007 to the present she never contracted pneumonia nor was ever hospitalized while her caring physician treated her. However, once 2012 arrived she was stripped of her longtime doctor and thrown into an HMO she didn't ask for. All her meds were taken away and the guinea-pigging began because, after all, many doctors think they are God. We all know they are not and the thirty-first chapter of Book Three of the Prophesies and Revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden brings that home with The Divine Physician.

    Thankfully, after being released from the hospital she was taken off the HMO program and placed in a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly or PACE for short and run by St. Paul's Episcopal church no less. Ironic, no? It is an excellent one and has nothing to do with the government. Deo gratias.

    Anyway, they have put her on oxygen 24 hours a day and are slowly trying to regulate her meds to get her back to where she was before Jerry Brown's version of Obamacare laid waste so many here in California at the beginning of the year. And Governor Moonbeam, a Jesuit-taught flaming liberal - thank you, Vatican II - wants us to pass a tax increase so unions can get their pensions. Uh, sorry, no way! But more on politics a bit later in this post-Easter editorial.

    I mentioned, as I must, that finances hinder the return to daily publishing as well because we're barely treading water in trying to stay afloat. As always, a few benefactors responded generously to our plea in our Lenten edition and we were able to make a dent in the massive hospital bills that were due, and leaving us well short of our goal as more bills have arrived since for there are all kinds of hidden expenses and services one is not aware of at the time. So we're still in emergency mode and dearly need your help. For what it's worth as we pray you'll respond, I publish the link here for our Donations Page for the amount of your choosing. Without a pledge it is impossible to budget or plan ahead for when and how we'll publish.

    I say "for what it's worth" because I can count on one hand the new contributors who donated. It's always the same ones who give and yet our stats show that during that 6 week period we had 2,576,442 hits by 118,046 visitors who accessed 423,158 pages! Out of nearly 120,000 visitors we had 27 responses by PayPal and mail combined! Just 27! And five of those responded more than once during Lent so it could be narrowed down to 22 who actually contributed. Yeah, you could call it "Catch-22" but bless those 22! Sadly, little did I realize my last editorial Catch-22 would be so prophetic in number. Ironic no? Tragic, yes. I think Our Lord said it best in St. Matthew 22: 14, "Many are called, but few are chosen."

    One of the chosen ones died a century ago on the Titanic. He was a true priest, a dedicated consecrated man who cherished souls more than anything else, more than his own life as he proved. That man was Father Thomas Byles, an Englishman from Essex County whose last Holy Mass was on Low Sunday, April 14, 1912. It is interesting to note that on the official site in Father's memory, the poster placed the proper of said Mass with the codicil "I have put the English translation of the text to the right of the Latin. This is not present in the Roman Missal. I place it here merely for those who may be interested." Ah yes, fyi, but it's past history just as the Titanic's sinking is past history. Oh, how low we have fallen and it has nothing to do with Low Sunday.

    Father was heading for New York at the invite of his brother William Byles who invited him to say the Nuptial Mass for he and his bride-to-be Isabelle Russell. Unfortunately Fr. Byles never made it. Fortunately he was aboard the Titanic and countless souls are in Heaven today because of him for he unselfishly gave of himself and his priestly duty in administering the sacraments, hearing confessions, and seeing to the safety of others as best he could while placing all others before himself. As Our Lord says in St. John 15: 13, "Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends" and Fr. Byles expessed that kind of heroic love in trying to save as many souls as possible. That is the kind of love story that should have been told by James Cameron when he made the movie "Titanic". We encourage you to go the aforementioned site for it gives great insight into the heroic virtue exhibited by a man who was merely following the duties he had been called to do. We need more Father Byles today and pray for vocations to the true priesthood in the true Latin Rite for our ranks are dwindling and with every passing day we are losing more from the generation that remembers what the Church was before the revolt that has laid waste the flocks.

    And speaking of dwindling ranks, Jesus also pronounced, which, sadly, makes more sense with each passing day His concern that "But yet the Son of man, when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on earth?" St. Luke 18: 8. That is what bothers us most, the apathy even within the traditional movement. You cannot tell me that of those 118,046 visitors that only 22 actually read our plea. The stats showing the hits and pages say otherwise, unless they were just scrolling and pinging and not reading, but then why would someone do that? We are read in 126 countries at latest count. You figure out the percentage. Pathetic, right? Tragically it brings to mind the words written by the beloved disciple St. John the Apostle on the Isle of Patmos in Chapter 3: 16 in the Book of the Apocalypse, "But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of My mouth."

    From the realities that have hit us during this past Easter Week, it would not be far-fetched to believe the Apocalypse is indeed at our threshold. Witness the rumors so ripe that Bishop Bernard Fellay has already sold out. For more and to keep up to date on how the SSPX turns, see Traditio. Also the latest scuttlebutt is that Josef Ratzinger, who turns 85 on Monday, April 16, will step down. I know, I know, you'll believe it when you see it, but considering it's mandatory for "cardinals" and "bishops" and he is neither of those, merely a priest, an apostate priest at that, he may just give up the ship and it wouldn't be soon enough. Don't look for the next "pope" to make any difference because like his conciliar predecessors, whoever is chosen among the non-Catholic red-hats, he still will be an anti-pope without the protection of the Holy Ghost. So what's new, hey?

    The only ironic thing about Ratzinger's last stand is with him will pass the last of the periti of Vatican II and hopefully the fervor to promote Modernism. Hopefully, in contrast to what we are pursuing in rallying the traditional troops, let us pray the conciliar apparatchiks will fall into a stupefying stupor and no longer have the rabid rancor to push the conciliar agenda and it will implode upon itself as we refer constantly to the bad tree destined for the eternal fire.

    There are other bad trees that need to be kindling. Witness the race-baiting and class warfare that is being funded by George Soros and fueled by none other than his puppet Barack Hussein Barry Soetero Obama, a Manchurian Candidate if there ever was one, and his hand-picked lieutenant of corruption within the Department of anything-but-Justice Eric Holder, fanned by their army of thugs in the unions, hippie brigade and occupiers who are all useful idiots. Add to this the perennial pariahs who swarm like piranhas in such hypocritical fashion to clamp their faithless fangs into the foray - men like the "reverends" Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright to name just a few of the headline hoggers while "pope" Nancy Pelosi pontificates on what the progressive Vatican II agenda has really wrought. Think about it, as bad as she is, and she's pretty bad, when it comes to exposing the counterfeit church of conciliarism for what it has become she speaks more truth than Benedict XVI.

    Meanwhile the latter schmoozes with avowed despot and murdering thug Fidel Castro and can't even answer the Cuban Communist leader's conundrum of why all the changes and what happened to the Church? And B16 expects Bishop Fellay to fall in line with the conciliar cause? Yet, the saddest comment is that Fellay expects a miracle and right now the only miracle would be him coming to his senses before truly being the Society's Judas as alluded to above. Regardless of what happens on this Ides of April, count on the other three bishops to lobby for his ouster as Superior General. He's done enough damage. Yet all that could have been avoided if Fellay and the rest in the SSPX would have listened to the wisdom of the nine who left in the eighties because they connected the dots to realize the syllogism of sedevacantism.

    Oh, the forked-tongued devil has been busy lately stirring up all the chaos he can because his time is definitely short. Thank God. Yet, know he is going to wreak even more havoc in the days he has left. Count on it. His goal is to divide and conquer. He's done it in the Society and he's trying with all his might to further instigate division within traditional ranks and we need to stand together against satan for as I've said so many times, united we pray, divided we are prey!

    Though Lent is over, we should all continue to intensify our prayers and sacrifices as well for, in truth, we are in a perpetual Lent - an unending earthly desert so parched for the refreshing Light of Christ's Truths. The darkness enshrouds so many and grows ever more blacker by the day. Look at the world situation: wars on every continent. Morals that have been turned topsy-turvy. False religions that dictate to the masses from Sharia Law to Communism, from Modernism to Nihilism. While North Korea threatens, the mideast is a boiling cauldron ready to spill over with Shiite and Sunni storming what is the Holy Land. The barbarians are indeed at the gate.

    Our poor troops are so thinned out and Obama wants to make them even less adept by cutting the military budget while enhancing the coffers of his own campaign and paying his union sugar daddies and other campaign donors. I have this sinking feeling that Obama's real intent is to destroy our country and that none other than former KGB boss Vladimir Putin has more on Obama that is prompting this obvious Manchurian - or is it Muslim? - Candidate to do what he is doing in trashing the Constitution and weakening our defense, not to mention good name and the memory of those who died for their country. It means nothing to this mysterious man who has spent millions to hide and cover-up not only his true birth certificate, but his college records. We hear from lamestream pundits that he is so smart. Take away a teleprompter and he speaks like a fifth grader. Uh, no offense to fifth graders only to the man who deserves it. Why have not more asked why? Why have not more demanded that he produce the very documents every one of us would have to if we were applying for a job, a loan or making a major purchase. Then there's the fact he has several Social Security numbers. Whaaaat? Isn't that illegal? But then we're talking about an administration that is so viably corrupt that maggots roost in the White House and migrate to Congress as well. The fetid liberal larva have already settled in, nesting in the press rooms of major media. Let's just hope, for the sake of future generations, that they have fumigators - smart ones and honest ones in the Supreme Court Building or we'll all be infested.

    This administration is so intent on redistribution and hatred for God that it has abandoned all the fundamental principals of true Christian charity and fomented civil war among races and classes and religion. Will the so-called "Catholic" "bishops" have the cojones to sway their conciliar parishioners to not vote for a pro-abort? Chances are: no! Even with the attacks by Obama they're still toothless paper tigers. Always have been, always will be unless they truly come to their senses and realize they're bishops of nothing. They govern in a Protestant denomination no different than the Lutherans or Presbyterians or Episcopalians or Baptists. In fact, all of the aforementioned respect the truths of Catholicism more than the conciliar church which bows to Buddhist, Rabbis, Imams, and witch doctors while persecuting true Catholics. But then, the main agenda of Vatican II has always been to please man, not God. Anyone dare beg to differ? The facts speak for themselves.

    Then there's the upcoming presidential campaign as we realize we missed several primaries. I don't think I really missed anything at all if you get the drift. It looks like we have a Mormon who most likely will be the Republican nominee in a campaign that really hasn't changed much since Ash Wednesday. Only the ranks have grown thinner but we're no further along than before Lent. No one on the horizon either; definitely no one who would uphold and promote the Social Kingship of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And that is what presents a dilemna.

    Do you vote for a Mormon or a moron? Tough question. Since I know very little about the false religion of the Latter Day Saints except that it is man-made in every way, I know that is not the answer for restoring Christ as King of our nation. Mormons are good people humanistically speaking and moral, many time above reproach. Yet is it not Christian charity to enlighten them that they are barking up the wrong tree? Don't expect any proselytizing from those in the conciliar structure because according to their mindset, all religions have something to contribute. Uh, no, they don't. Was it not Jesus Himself who insisted in St. Mark 16: 15-16, "Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned"?

    You see, Mitt Romney, the gospel revolves around the Son of God, Who cannot and must not be placed on equal footing as a mere prophet like the so-called polygamist and pedophile "prophet" John Smith. No, Mitt, Mormonism is a cult that is cultivated by satan as part of the bad tree that sprouted from the Protestant Reformation when man thought he had a better idea than God. So, in good faith I cannot cast a vote for Romney with enthusiasm or confidence in him having the answers.

    However, in seeing the destruction Obama has wrought in less than four years amd realizing what the next four years portend of one who would not be accountable to his constituents and who knows who he would sell out, I know I can never ever vote for that man, a being who is demonic in every way. You'll note we have not changed the Daily News Information port page in well over two years. Why? Two reasons. One it takes time to maintain it and two, nothing really has changed from what we first posted. Daily a bad tree remains a bad tree, something we realized before he was ever elected.

    And, speaking of bad trees, what can you say about two of the worst trees to come down the pike over the last 2000 years? The first really bad tree is Islamism which, like John Smith, was founded by a man - from all accounts a mad man at that, definitely a pedophile and a polygamist who decided Christianity wasn't good enough for him, he needed to lean on satan for the most radical religion he could create and spew hate in his self-made scripture he called the Koran or Quaran which Obama goes out of his way to call the "holy Q'ran" in which there is anything but holiness contained within its many pages but rather preaches to kill those who do not conform to this so-called prophet's fantasies. You see, if a Moooslim (as Obama exaggerates in pronouncing it) is truly dedicated to that book and all it preaches, then it would be an oxymoron to call him a peace-loving Muslim because no such creature could exist. In the same manner as the Talmud teaches deceit is right when dealing with Gentiles, so also the Koran and the Hadiths proclaim that one should lie to "non-believers" and treat them as pondscum or worse. Hardly peaceful or loving.

    You'll note you'll find no hate or deception like that in the true holy book of the Bible. That is because it was composed by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost and compiled into one inerrant compendium through the like inspiration by the holy Doctor of the Church St. Jerome in the 5th Century well before any of the other so-called "holy" writs foisted on the world. In fact, the closest thing you'll find to animosity towards one's neighbor - be they Muslim, Jew, Mormon or pagan - is "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet. Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city" St. Matthew 10: 14 and St. Luke 9: 5. And yet, when you think about it, it is the best advice the Lord could convey for those who receive not the ones truly representing Christ and His infrangible teachings, reject Christ and will suffer the consequences Jesus references. That you can count on.

    The second bad tree has to be the counterfeit church of conciliarism, aka newChurch, the conciliar church, church of Vatican II and falsely believed to be the "Catholic Church." But we know it can no longer be Catholic for we have been deceived by the wolves in shepherds' clothing who have infiltrated and taken control of the flock, shearing the sheep of trust by misleading them about infrangible Catholic truths. We know that cannot be Catholic for we say in the Act of Faith daily, "I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches because Thou hast revealed them Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived."

    Now if we're deceived - and we definitely have been - it cannot be by Christ, the Founder of the true Faith. Ergo, the deception then comes from His and our antagonist - the devil. Ergo, we must have nothing to do with this man-made sect spawned at Vatican II and which, slowly, cleverly, and diabolically changed things over the years while keeping most of the trappings to trap those who relished the comfort zone they were in and did not seek to find out what was wrong.

    Recall Our Lord's words in St. Matthew 24: 24, "For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. Behold I have told it to you, beforehand." Yes, indeed, You did, Lord Jesus. And it is the elect, such as noted men like Atila Sinke Guimarães, who someday we pray will admit that he, not to mention so many others as well, has been deceived to believe these "popes" could be true popes, let alone Catholic. Atila is a literary expert on the intracies of the art of the deal the Modernists have painted in presenting such a clever counterfeit. Surely he should know. I refer you to his recent article of March 30th this year entitled Blueprint for a Papal Communism in which he concludes in his summation regarding the conciliar con in trying to justify it with true Catholic teaching: "Now, it is Communism that can be corrected and Capitalism that is intrinsically evil. It is hard to believe that we are reading the teachings of the same Church." No, Atila, you are not. What Vatican II and its apostates have rendered has nothing to do with Catholicism. Period. Nada! Zilch! Believe it.

    I would hope Atila will finally realize the answer to his posit has been, despite Tradition in Action's denials, that these men posing as "popes" cannot be Catholic. In fact, TIA published proof of this just the other day in posting part of Pope Pius XI's magnificent encyclical Excerpt from Mortalium animos condemning ecumenism with these words: "Whosoever, therefore, is not united with the body is no member thereof, neither is he in communion with Christ her Head." Clear enough? It's time to fess up, Atila, that Dr. Droleskey is right when he writes in his April 15 article "Chopped Liver No More", "Once again, you see, the true sedevacantists are the conciliarists, who believe that very little of what happened prior to 1958 binds them, especially those things that point out who the enemies of the Catholic Faith have been from the beginning and how it is an act of love to oppose them while we seek their conversion to the maternal bosom of Holy Mother Church."

    That is the blunt truth and the sooner Atila and all other "resist and recognize" campers realize that they'll realize the infrangible veracity of Tom's further words: "Faith is indeed a gift. It can be lost. We must nurture the Faith every day of our lives, holding fast to the perennial teaching of the Catholic Church as we cling to true bishops and true priests in the catacombs who make no concessions at all to conciliarism or to the nonexistent legitimacy of its false shepherds. The counterfeit religion of conciliarism dispenses with the necessity of seeking with urgency the conversion of all men to the true Church. The true religion has never done so it can never do so."

    Because of the revolution of Vatican II we are left with a church imploding upon itself for as Our Lord portends, "Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings. He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater" St. Luke 16: 9-10. Jesus was referring to the unjust steward and who over the past sixty years has been more unjust than Fr. Josef Ratzinger? He who was in on the ground floor of the conciliar agenda as a peritus at the Council in 1962. He has a great stake in keeping said agenda going despite his facade that he is conservative, even, don't laugh, traditional.

    He is anything but that as Dr. Droleskey has pointed out and documented in so many past articles that we encourage you to read so you will know we're not whistling Dixie when we say the Barbarians against the true Faith are firmly ensconced but will be driven out because Jesus clearly identifies said offenders in St. Matthew 7: 18 "A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit." Ergo, "Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire" (v. 19) which shall be the fate of the conciliar church posing as the Catholic Church for the latter can only be a good tree, whereas the former can be anything but good. That equates to a bad tree that will be felled in God's time and cast into hell. Let us hope and pray that more will convert before God's time arrives or they will have - wait for it - hell to pay for the "church" they belong to is not built upon the rock but on the sands of time that silt and shift just as the conciliar "popes" have preached that time can alter rock-solid doctrine. Uh, no, it can't. Yesterday, today and tomorrow - the truths and traditions are set in stone. To understand how that truth is contradicted by Ratzinger and his cohorts, see Tom's recent articles Victimized by his own Revolution and the aforementioned Chopped Liver No More; the latter is a badge of honor for all those who realize the truths Tom publishes on how we must love the sinner, but hate the sin and do all we can to eradicate it, even if they want to call us "homophobes" or "anti-Semite" or "radical traditionalists". Wear it proudly for it is the perfect accompaniment to the armor of God in standing firm against the naturalists' revolution.

    And that is what we face today: revolution in both church and state. Those revolting are truly revolting from the aged, but determined hippy flower children of the sixties who never outgrew their socialistic ideals to destroy by overwhelming the system in true Saul Alinsky fashion, furthered by Clower and Piven tactics and embraced today by Obama,his ilk, the entire Demoncrat party and a younger society who have an entitlement mindset that they are owed something without earning a thing. It's all about redistribution - code for Communism.

    The Muslim hordes will watch and wait. Oh, if only true Catholics had the zealot gene that Islamists have who mass millions to protest the least offense against their false prophet. And it is those same misguided souls who bow to Mecca and who, tragically, grow greater in numbers until they will eventually reap the spoils of the natural progression of chaos that is the result of annihilating the Social Reign of Jesus Christ and rebelling against the only Church founded by the Son of God. Today Jerusalem is threatened to be split asunder. Wasn't she rent asunder - the temple torn in half - at the Crucifixion? Was she not destroyed by the Romans several decades later? Tom provides what our answer must be in his aforementioned "Chopped Liver" essay that exposes the p.c. madness rampant in Canada and fueled by such hate organizations as the Southern Poverty Law Center, a misnomer if there ever was one considering these hate mongers are not true southerners, they are surely not in poverty and should be audited for theivery, and they have no idea of divine law, let alone the natural law. Maybe if I rant enough against that wretched, skanky organization the DailyCatholic will make the same list. Yes, for any Catholic a true badge of honor for as Jesus says in St. John 15: 18-19, "If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated Me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."

    The beloved disciple also adds in his epistle of 1 St. John 2: 15-19,

"Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that Antichrist cometh, even now there are become many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us; but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us."

    Truer words were never spoken because that is exactly what we have today in the world and sadly, within our own ranks thanks to the ennui where few want to convert souls and preserve the true Faith in the face of so much opposition. Blame it on the comfort zone of Americanism, a heresy as Pope Leo XIII decreed. Whatever it is, because of Catholic lukewarmness over the last half century or more, we are left with a new One World Order where our children will wake up one day to a universal Caliphate under Sharia Law all with the cooperation of the current and recent regime of apostates posing as the Catholic Church. Maybe it has to happen for these blunderheads to finally realize the chastisement is truly upon them. Maybe it will take that kind of drastic measure to wake the masses from their lethargy - a multi-decade torpor that has lulled the masses ever since John 23 proclaimed he would convene a Council. As Tom Droleskey documents, the effects of what we have today is rooted in all that is wrong with conciliarism for it is a fatal virus that infects souls so diabolically and, as Bill Metallo points out in his article The Bitter Fruits of Vatican II, in this edition, the conciliar newChurch doles out "cruel kindness", an oxymoron that makes a moron of every soul who buys into the man-made religion spawned by Vatican II and encouraged by Zionist, Muslim, Jew, pagan and Protestants alike. You see, misery loves company. But, as John Gregory details in his thirteenth chapter on St. Matthew's Gospel on The Sermon on the Mount, "Wherefore, by their fruits you shall know them" St. Matthew 7: 20.

    Don't get me started on the bitter fruits. In retrospect, little did we know way back then in those idyllic early sixties what lay ahead. We were living in a false Camelot with nary a fear that millions upon millions of our young would be sacrificed on both the field of death in Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan as well as another chamber of death - one that should have been the safest place in the world: the mother's womb. Yeah, really bitter fruit!

    Contrary to history, the "first shot heard round the world" of the revolution of the sixties that forever changed society was not launched in Dallas on that fateful day of November 22, 1963. No, the first shot was a silent shot first launched a year and forty-two days earlier on October 11, 1962 with the beginning of The Great Apostasy as the Second Vatican Council convened in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. All who have claimed to be "pope" since were in attendance that day. They knew. So did the devil. Oh, did he! Few others did. And the saddest part is that few others really wanted to know well after as well.

    That brings us back to the main problem facing a restoration of the faith today: apathy. If we cannot muster the traditional camps to unite in the cause, what hope do we have? In a parallel universe where the Church is the moral and spiritual beacon of mankind, we'd have no worries. But in the actual universe we find ourselves in apathy is a universal sickness as man is mesmerized to believe a lie just as St. Paul warned in 2 Thessalonians 2: 3 - 11,

"Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, Who opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God. Remember you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way. And then that wicked one shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth; and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming, him, Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying: God shall send: That is God shall suffer them to be deceived by lying wonders, and false miracles, in punishment of their not entertaining the love of truth. That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity."

    Oh, as we've written so many times, those words are so true and that is exactly what historians will record happened when looking back on why and how The Great Apostasy ever got off the ground and gained such tragic traction: because they consented to iniquity. To truly understand the meaning of these words above, we will rerun the series first published three years ago on these pages by Stephen Grieve who since that time has seemed to go incognito, but his words live on and we will perpetuate them beginning in this April edition.

    Ah, April. Yes, the flowers are in full bloom, spring is behind as summer looms on the horizon. Who knows what lurks ahead? We know it will be a summer of unrest. Thus, as we pass the mid-point of April in the year 2012 Anno Domino we are closer to that realization of how far the revolution has advanced just as the Apostle of the Gentiles forewarned, for indeed it is true: "unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed." That man of sin is led by lucifer and he is collectively in both church and state, "the man of perdition."

    The question we must ask of every true Catholic. Are you going to let the devil have his way or are you going to don the armor of God as St. Paul encourages us to do in Ephesians 6: 11-20? You have a free will. Isn't it time to get excited? Get involved? There are souls to save. But first you have to search your own heart and soul. Will you put your heart and soul into winning back souls? It's time to man-up for the question God will ask each member of the Church Militant is this: Are you a wimp or a warrior?
