Cardinal Burke finds enough benefactors to stay at Rome

Editor’s Note: America’s favorite Cardinal has at last found enough benefactors to remain at Rome, after being expelled from his low rent Cardinals-only flat near the Vatican. It is reported that he is now in an apartment which costs 8000 euros a month. I have no idea where that apartment is located, but for comparison here is a 280 sq. meter (3000 sq ft) apartment, near the Vatican, which is going for 7500 euro a month and which is still on the market, and appears to be of the kind fit for a Cardinal. — However, the news article does not make clear if the Cardinal remains at his old address and is now paying Pope Francis the rent, or whether he has a new pad, as they say. — As I have actually had the opportunity to visit Cardinal Burke’s old residence (when I asked for an appointment to speak with him in Dec. and January 2019/2020 about the Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI), I can say that that residence was probably no more than 2000 sq ft. and 3 bathrooms.

Candace Owens converts to the Catholic Faith

Editor’s Note: Our prayers and congratulations for the heroic witness to the truth that Candace Owens has given to the world by her conversion to the Catholic Faith, in these trying times. Her husband, George Farmer, is the former CEO of Parler, and converted to the Catholic Faith while a student at Oxford University. — Let’s hope that someone tells them that they have to get married again in the Catholic Church, if their first marriage was not by a Catholic Priest and with the promise on her part to convert. For in the latter case, the Sacrament of Matrimony revives upon her baptism or acceptance in the Church. — She announced the news on Passover, which was particularly significant witness about who is the True Messiah and in what consists the true Passover: Baptism into Christ Jesus.

HOLY LAND: Israeli Intelligence chief resigns as Mass Grave of Civilians killed by IDF uncovered

Editor’s Note: Those who have called for Israeli leaders to be brought to the International Court of the Hague on charges of genocide and mass murder, have now been fully vindicated.

The Politics of Jesus Christ

by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Traduction française

In our age ruled by cruel and evil Masons, politics has a bad name, because by “politics” we are wont to understand the evil and godless trickery of the Masonic Lodges.

But poliltics, from its root in Greek, means the things which pertain to the city-state that is the state or civil order.

Politics was rectified by Jesus Christ when He said, while looking at a Roman Denarius,

“Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and unto God what is God’s”. (Mark 12:17)

In Christ’s day, The Roman coin, the Denarius was a silver coin worth about 1 day’s wages. It bore the image of the Roman Emperor, whose title was “Caesar”.

For this reason, the Fathers of the Church explain this teaching of our Lord as meaning that in all honest and just matters pertaining to our civil duties we should obey our civil leaders, but that in all matters pertaining to God we should obey God.

A more profound interpretation, suitable for our godless age, is often given in our own days by many commentators, namely, that we should limit our obedience to the State to things which pertain to the civil order but remember that as individuals, God prefers the salvation of each man, and indeed has created all things and sent His Son Jesus Christ, to save him. Thus, nothing should be done or tolerated which impedes that end or purpose of the cosmos, that God-preferred outcome for each human person.

The Politics of Jesus Christ

Thus, it is not only not impious, but rather devout and faithful to assert that in this one teaching of Jesus Christ, God Himself has spelled out His politics. And for this reason since no other writers I know of have ever spoke on this subject I want to draw out some conclusions of this august divine teaching.

NOT AN IDEOLOGY

First of all, the politics of Jesus Christ is not based on an ideology. Ideologies are ideas thought up by fallible men which when imposed on mankind lead to death and slavery and sin.

But Christ’s teaching is God’s own teaching. And since He is the Author of Man and the author of Life and Liberty, His politics lead always to true freedom, live and virtue.

Thus the first conclusion we can draw is this: that every Christian has the grave moral obligation to adopt Christ’s politics and put it into action. Because nothing better for mankind can be hoped for than this.

THE FALSIFICATION OF ALL OTHER POLITICAL THEORIES

And since Christ’s teaching is of God, since He is God, it is also the falsification of all other political theories, which come from fallible men.

“Falsification” means here the truth which shows that all other theories are false, that is do not correspond to the truth of reality or the truth of man. For who knows reality better than the Creator of all things. And who knows what man is and is capable of better than the Creator and Savior of Men?

THE TRUE LIGHT FOR ALL JUST SOCIETIES AND GOVERNMENTS

Hence, Christ’s teaching here in the Gospel of Mark is the true light for all justice. Since as Aristotle teaches, justice is the virtue of the mind which inclines us to render unto the other what belongs to him.

Christ’s teachings are all lightsome, but they are especially so because in them, He defines and distinguishes rightly and properly on the basis of what things really are.

To Caesar belongs the things which are Caesars. Not only as regards the coins minted by the State, but the end and purpose of the state. Aristotle in his “Politics” describes this well: the state is that form of government which comes into being by necessity, so that the honest citizens and denizens can be suitably protected from the dishonest and wicked citizens and foreigners.

Since the State exists only by a necessity for justice, no State can legitimately be unjust. Thus the State must be governed by the honest for the honest. Thus every law which insures this is of prime importance for the good and preservation of the civil order.

That most modern states have few if any laws which actually lead to punishing rulers, shows from the start, how dark is the age in which we live, and how perverse are the nations which dominate us.

Likewise, since man was created for God, and to have the opportunity to learn to know Him, love Him, and serve Him in this life and to be blessed with Him forever in the world to come, man’s role in politics is an activity of his which must serve his purpose in life.

Thus the State must server man’s call to be with God forever. And thus the State must always be subordinate to mankind’s Savior, Jesus Christ, and to Holy Mother Church, in that work and divine service.

These short reflections on the politics of Jesus Christ should be meditated upon as they will lead to a powerful and profound transformation of how we live in this world and how we exercise our rights and duties in the political order. Let us preach them also, to everyone so that our generation may be saved from the big lies which are propagated on all sides by all voices.

Bishop Strickland: There is a crescendo of Apostasy coming from the Vatican

Editor’s Note: Bishop Strickland is one of the few Bishops who is saying the obvious truth about what is going on at the Vatican. But until he publicly repents for his scandalous behavior in obeying an unjust command to resign, which is evil, his example will trump whatever he says, and induce the faithful to do nothing, rather than join the Sutri Initiative. — He does not even have the courage to name names. — I pray that some faithful Catholic has the charity and courage to give him a fraternal rebuke, because he too is not walking in the ways of the Lord Jesus.

What is the significance of the World Jewish Congress having an office at the Vatican?

In October of 2023, the World Jewish Congress opened an office at the Vatican with permission of Pope Francis. FromRome.Info warned the Catholic World about the implications. In the above  video, you can see how valid that warning was: in fact, the Vatican is now pursuing the agenda of the WJC to a letter, while turning itself against the truth of the Gospel and Scriptures. However, note that the WJC is pushing the beliefs of the Sabbatean Jews, not of all Jews, nor even of the Talmud or Torah.

VATICAN: Pope Francis approves as Assistant Prosecutor, key-man involved in London Property Debacle

Editor’s Note: Here is the first institutional implementation of ‘Dignitas infinita’: Pope Francis has decided to trash the public reputation of the Vatican criminal court by reconfirming in office of assistant prosecutor, a priest intimately involved in the London Real Estate Debacle which saw 10 years of Peter’s Pence Collections squandered in purchasing overvalued properties. Whether this individual turned state-evidence, as it were, or not, the reputation of the institution of the Court should not be sullied by continuing the individual in office. No one involved in criminal or fraudulent dealings should ever have any role in a criminal or civil court of any kind, as is obvious. This is another slap in the Face of Jesus Christ.

AUSTRALIA: Bishop Mar Mari stabbed during the Divine Liturgy by Islamic Terrorist

Please note, that as soon as the attacker was identified as a Muslim, Musk began censoring tweets about the event.

Editor’s Note: The Bishop was an outspoken critic of the Scamdemic and DeathVaxx. This attack is just one of many launched against opponents of the Globalist Great Reset. The Bishop is a Bishop of the Assyrian Orthodox Church. For our past coverage of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel.

In the Aramean Assyrian Orthodox quarter of Sydney, the Christians are protesting the attack on the Bishop and a number of priests who were serving with him during the Liturgy.

After the congregation captured the assailant, they extracted from his a confession:

UPDATE: The attack has led to Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel having his own Wikipedia Article, here.

VATICAN Tribunal drops Defamation Suit against Silere Non Possum, in 30 minutes

Editor’s Note: The above article ends with some interesting and important questions. The net result is that Perfetti has received the moral equivalent of $10 Million in free advertising for his Journal’s new debut.  — Silere non possum is one of the cornerstones of Trad Inc. in Italy. So I am not surprised one bit, as this certainly looks like payback for protecting the crocodile.
