LATER THIS WEEK:
Christ or chaos  This coming Friday Dr. Thomas Droleskey takes a three-week break from his series on G.I.R.M. Warfare, to focus on the glaring differences between the Old Roman Rite observed for centuries and the New Roman Rite that is like a chameleon. While some may think the only difference between the Novus Ordo Mass of Modern Rome and the Traditional Latin Mass of Eternal Rome is no different than preferring one flavor over another, in truth the latter satisfies fully in every way, leaving one satiated in grace, while the former leaves an aftertaste that is foul and sipid, changing tastes constantly to please whatever the careless chefs of this new rite want to put on the liberal menu as Tom explains in part one in Merely a Matter of Preference?
Traditional Insights 
On Friday Mario Derksen continues his series on "Vatican II and the Gospel of
Man" as he meticulously peels off the skin-deep layers of rhetoric, exposing the tightening muscles of modernism that seek to squeeze the bones of doctrine. This prevents the living organs of Truth and Tradition from fully being able to function, thus allowing the cancer of humanism to penetrate the pores of the Mystical Body of Christ. Mario will show how the Novus Ordo has been so ingrained in so many that few are aware that what is being foisted on the people would, if Rome were truly Roman Catholic, depose most of the bishops for promoting innovations that, as the Second Council of Nicaea decreed, "wrongfully and outrageously devise the destruction of...those traditions enshrined in the Catholic Church" such as the outrageous New Mass. Yet the vast majority of Catholics have no clue their faith is being ransacked and destroyed as Mario will explain Friday in part four of his column Actions Speak Louder Than Words
The Fatima FILE  
On Friday we present the second of a three part series on arguments regarding Sister Lucia and how it doesn't calculate with the swashbuckling Vatican spin that was disseminated through the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's The Message of Fatima. In truth, there are too many holes in their theory to make it sail. Sadly, the propaganda has dulled and deceived so many into believing what in truth is a false flag raised to deceive souls and cover up the real intentions of the modernist buccaneers. Through the good graces and permission of John Vennari of Catholic Family News we present an excellent, fact-filled feature by journalist Mark Fellows who exposes the facades as he will illustrate Friday with part two of Lucy and the Pirates

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED:
Traditional Thoughts Tuesday we brought you an excellent article by Peter Miller, editor of www.Seattle Catholic.com on the lack of belief in the True Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. It is no riddle and very evident why such heresy is so rampant. The Bishops know as well, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to correct it. The only answer is to return to the tried and true Mass of All Ages - the Tridentine Mass that leaves no doubt whatsoever as to the True Presence of Jesus, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. The fact they refuse to do so, even at the expense of so many souls speaks volumes as to their intent as Peter explained in The Eucharistic Heresy of Modern Catholics .
FOCUS 
In Tuesday's issue we focused on part two of a two-part interview with the Church's chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth who did not mince words in describing the situation today in the Church, especially in the Vatican itself for he acknowledged that satan has indeed penetrated the hallowed halls and infected countless souls by his insidious campaign to corrupt Holy Mother Church. Though Fr. Amorth pointed out in a candid conversation first published in 30 Days last June that Christ has assured us"the gates of hell shall not prevail against it", the devil is trying and for Fr. Amorth and others conferred with the very grave responsibility of performing exorcism often times their own hands are being tied, another sign that satan is truly active within the Church as you saw in a very candid and revealing interview conducted by Stefano Maria Paci in part two of The smoke of satan in the house of the Lord
White Smoke, Black Fire!
 In episode two of Chapter Seven in Part II - "The Smoldering" - we see the dark side of the Basilisk, the plotting of principals in the Legion whose pride swells with such insolence and overconfidence in their victories to this point. Now more subterfuge is afoot from Dallas to Rome.
Second Vatican Council
The last of the Ecumenical Councils was, indeed, the most controversial for the ambiguous language of the documents opened a Pandora's Box to allow Church leaders and others to interpret dogma and doctrine in a Protestant light with an emphasis on humanism, ecumenism, religious liberty, and collegiality in an effort to conform to the modern world rather than the world adhering to what the Church had always taught. This year we commemorate the 40th anniversary of this council convened by Pope John XXIII on October 11, 1962 and, despite the latter's pleas to "Stop the Council!", it was carried on by his successor Paul VI for three more years, closing on December 8, 1965 and unleashing, by Paul's own admission, the "Smoke of satan into the sanctuary." Since then errors have spread universally and the Church has been in turmoil. For an overview to the documents see SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL
Catholic PewPOINT    
In Monday's issue editor Michael Cain continued his series on the analogy of the Mystical Body of Christ with the sorrowful mysteries as he completes the third sorrowful mystery - the Crowning of Thorns. He equated this ignominous humiliation of the Body of Christ with the sacrilegious, scandalous and pseudo Novus Ordo Secolorum" 'Mass' that is eerily closer to the blasphemous Masonic Mass than the Traditional Latin Mass. He proved this by exposing the elements of a Masonic Mass so the reader coul see without a shadow of a doubt that the Novus Ordo is patterned on a mockery of all that is holy. He intends to shake the thunders of Catholic consciousness by reasserting what Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger affirmed in "The New Mass is the Real Destruction of the Roman Rite!"
On the BattleLine
Monday Atila Sinke Guimarães gave documented proof that every Roman Catholic has the responsibility before God to resist the Pope when he is in error. He based this Catholic teaching on great saints and Doctors of the Church like St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Robert Bellarmine, as well as other scholars of the Church. He points out how those who rightfully adhere to principle but reject unorthodox authority have been smeared by the brainwashed masses to consider those who resist error as 'outside the Church' when in truth, they are very much in the Church - the True Church. Those who follow heresy? Well, in the past they were called 'Protestants!' Atila set the record straight in his column Catholics have a Duty to Resist the Pope When he is In Error

"Nor do we merely desire that Catholics should shrink from the errors of Modernism, but also from the tendencies, or what is called the spirit of Modernism. Those who are infected by that spirit develop a keen dislike for all that savors of antiquity and become eager searchers of novelties. The law of our forefathers should still be held sacred: let there be no innovation: keep to what has been handed down."
Pope Benedict XV Encyclical, Ad Beatissimi Apostolorum, November 1, 1914
