"Chapter VII
18. "Let your light," says He, "so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." If He had merely said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works," He would seem to have fixed an end in the praises of men, which hypocrites seek, and those who canvass for honors and covet glory of the emptiest kind. Against such parties it is said, "If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ;" and, by the prophet, "They who please men are put to shame, because God hath despised them;" and again, "God hath broken the bones of those who please men;" and again the apostle, "Let us not be desirous of vainglory;" and still another time, "But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another."

Chapter VI
16. Hence there follows most justly the statement, "Ye are the salt of the earth;"
showing that those parties are to be judged insipid, who, either in the eager pursuit after abundance of earthly blessings, or through the dread of want, lose the eternal things which can neither be given nor taken away by men.
"But if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted?" i.e., If ye, by means of whom the nations in a measure are to be preserved [from corruption], through the dread of temporal persecutions shall lose the kingdom of heaven, where will be the men through whom error may be removed from you, since God has chosen you, in order that through you He might remove the error of others?
Hence the savorless salt is "good for nothing, but to be cast out, and trodden under …More

FSSPX Writes Leo XIV, Defines “Minimum” for Communion with Rome

On 14 May, Fr Davide Pagliarani, the Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, wrote to Pope Leo XIV. The open letter was issued less than 24 hours after Cardinal Tucho Fernández threatened excommunication.
The Priestly Fraternity laments to have spent over 50 years alerting the Holy See to doctrinal and moral errors, yet these concerns have not received a satisfactory response; instead, Rome is considering canonical sanctions.
Fr Pagliarani does not address the issue of episcopal consecration or a papal mandate for it.
Instead, he published a 'Declaration of Faith', stating that it represents “the minimum indispensable to be in communion with the Church, and to truly call ourselves Catholics and, consequently, your sons”.
The declaration presents itself as being loyal to the Pope. It repeatedly addresses Leo XIV reverence, using titles such as 'Most Holy Father' and 'Your Holiness'.
The FSSPX asks Leo XIV to be “instructed and confirmed” in the Declaration of Faith.

...“the minimum indispensable to be in communion with the Church, and to truly call ourselves Catholics and, consequently, your sons." Wow! There you have it. He admits openly they are currently "NEITHER Catholic nor sons of the Pope." The Vatican's formal excommunication will only formalize current realities.

SSPX responds to Rome's excommunication threat: We are “in communion with the Church”

(PerMariam) — The Society of Saint Pius X has responded to the Holy See’s warning of excommunication by publishing an open declaration of Catholic Faith, writing to Pope Leo and expressing their desire “to truly call ourselves Catholics and, consequently, your sons.”
For over fifty years the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) “has endeavoured to set before the Holy See a matter of conscience in the face of the errors that are destroying Catholic faith and morals,” according to the SSPX’s superior general Fr. Davide Pagliarani.
“Regrettably,” he added, “all the discussions entered into have remained without result, and none of the concerns expressed have received any truly satisfactory response.” {The full statement can be read online, or at the bottom of this article. For Per Mariam’s full coverage of the ongoing SSPX consecrations, see here.}
He lamented that in that same time period, “the only solution truly considered by the Holy See has appeared to be that of canonical sanctions …

Truly a scandal for Rome...the above list of their transgressions is the major reason the sspx wants to be set up differently....and they could be if the charity which should be the hallmark and driving principle of the Catholic Church really existed!

Ave Crux

1) An Amazonian Rite is approved;
2) Pachamama is honored;
3) homosexual blessings go without censure;
4) the Holy See allows Gay Activist pilgrimages to enter Saint Peters without objection or moral correction;
5) an Anglican female "Archbishop" is received with honors and "blesses" Bishops who accept her "blessing" in a Roman Basilica;
6) Pope Leo even prays she "may be fruitful in the service to which the Holy Spirit has called you" (i.e. the Holy Spirit collaborates in the spreading of error?);
7) the Vatican collaborates with WEF and globalist agendas, etc. etc..
BUT.....SSPX -- faithful to the Church of the Ages, and the Mass of the Ages -- alone receives condemnation for wanting to provide for its over 600,000 truly Catholic faithful, its hundreds of truly Catholic chapels and schools, its five Catholic seminaries and 300+ seminarians, its religious and 700+ Priests.

Jesus: ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers!’

Matthew 7:22-23
Many will say to me on that day,[a] ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not perform many miracles in your name?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers!’
Prevost and Tucho promote the demon of lust—Asmodeus—with the “blessing” of sodomy, adultery, and cohabitation.
Whoever abuses ecclesiastical powers under circumstances that lead others to do evil becomes guilty of scandal and responsible for the evil that he has directly or indirectly facilitated.

Covid: The Chinese Communist Party and the U.S. News Media — Beyond These Stone Walls

Our 2020 post on the origin of Covid-19 cited a Wuhan lab as a possible source for the global pandemic, but it was dismissed as a conspiracy theory — until now.
June 9, 2021 by Father Gordon MacRae
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that there has been a cover-up of the true origin of Covid-19. If so, the cover-up has been the work of some of our highly partisan American news media as much as that of the Chinese Communist Party.

Early in the global pandemic, on May 6, 2020, I wrote a post for Beyond These Stone Walls entitled “
The Chinese Communist Party and the True Origin of Covid-19.” What readers did not know at the time was that I had a vested interest in the subject. While writing that post I was recovering from a month-long bout with Covid-19 that made me wonder toward the end whether I would actually survive. It is difficult to keep a highly contagious virus from spreading through a contained, crowded environment.
Obviously, I did survive and did so without …

John 9:41 “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains

Abp. Vigano: Müller, Sarah, and Burke constitute a controlled opposition. Their role is to contain the hemorrhage of Catholics caused by the conciliar revolution, deluding the faithful into thinking that it is possible for two opposing entities to coexist.
Obedience to the Hierarchy becomes misleading when it deviates from the Truth of Dogma and Tradition. Unity is not primarily institutional but doctrinal, rooted in the immutable Deposit of Faith.

True, but we must clarify that it is the anti-Church—now led by Prevost—and not the Church, where the gates of Hell now prevail: namely, heresy and the vice of sodomy.
It is precisely in the Epistles of Saint Peter that we are warned that, due to impostors and false shepherds, the Way of Truth—the Church—would be maligned. They are "dead members," just as Scripture describes the antichrists: they went out from among us, but they were not of us. They are apostates who have not persevered in the faith. They do not belong to the mystical Body of Christ which is the Church.

Luke Nutley

The Catholic Church is dead; it passed with Roncalli and the only way it can regain its former vibrancy is by ending all donations to Babylon. Complaining and ranting about the heresies of Vatican 2 does nothing to end what should never have come into existence. Only controlling the existence and flow of money can stop the filth that Catholics have had hurled at them since 1959, especially the filth of Jorge Bergolio. Seeking rapprochement with Prevost is only prolonging the evil of McCarrick , a filth exposed by Archbishop Vigano

"The Joy of Faith"

The short but powerful Gospel reading, which sums up the Catholic faith, from May 7 is from St. John 15: 9-11:
Jesus said to his disciples: 'As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.'
Here's the wonderful reflection of the day for the
Magnificat. It's called, "The Joy of Faith." It was written by Raissa Maritain who died in 1960. She converted to Catholicism and was married to philosopher Jacques Maritain.
I have always had the keenest desire to know the ultimate truths, not being able to base my life on uncertain ties, not being willing to base it on feelings uncontrolled by reason….God has a special argument available for every soul he seeks. Man must go to meet him by searching for truth. 'We are incapable of not desiring truth and happiness' (Pascal)….…
