Catholic during the Great Apostasy

I am nothing, just dust, a worm crawling at Your feet.... Lord I am unworthy of Your gaze! Let us build the Church in souls on the rock of our faith.

Christians have been sentenced to annihilation, because even Protestants, who greatly contributed to the destruction of the Catholic Church, know some fragment of the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. And the system wants complete destruction and erasure of this teaching from memory. This teaching is the key to the Truth, and therefore to the inner temple, to the spiritual world where you become an uncontrolled, independent, peaceful soul waiting for the fall — which will certainly come, like every fall of an empire built on human ideologies. And it does not matter whether in human eyes these ideologies are good or bad. The fall is inevitable. People always eventually build the tower of Babel, even though they begin with a beautiful cathedral.

The Fall of the External Temple

Jeremiah:
“Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.”
Just as God is unchanging, so His words and His actions are unchanging. Yet the majority, including the so-called tradition, cries out: “We have the Promises.” Strange that people so well-read in theological books do not notice the recurring situations that preceded the destruction of every temple. After all, the times of Jeremiah are an exact description of what is happening now. Strange — or perhaps not — because these same people did not notice the persecutions of Christians all over the world, yet at the command of the system they rushed to defend Palestine. Why? Because the system wants Christians to die in silence.
The veil has fallen.
If God is unchanging, His justice must also be unchanging, and therefore for the same deeds there must be the same punishment. Logical, but very dangerous for the system, especially since it shows how strong our soul …

The problem is that people possessing knowledge of external matters have no understanding of the essence of faith.
If the Temple has two pillars: external and internal, then only when both stand does it stand upright. Only then does Paul have a strong basis for conversion. But regardless of whether people accept the new Mass, the popes, and their present heresies, or do not accept them—that is, regardless of whether the external pillar stands or does not stand—it makes no difference, because without the internal pillar everything collapses anyway.
The proper spiritual position allows one to find the answers.
Therefore I believe that discussions about all heresies and blasphemies make no sense. If the Third Temple—that is, the Catholic Church—has been destroyed, then it is not even worth greeting the modernists who led to this.
Why discuss obvious apostasies? Perhaps only to promote them.

The Inner Temple

Acts 14:11–15 (Douay-Rheims)15. “Ye men, why do ye these things? We also are mortals, men like unto you, preaching to you to be converted from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them.”Acts 10:25–26 (Douay-Rheims)25. “And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him; and falling at his feet adored.”26. “But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.”From these passages we can see that already in the earliest times of Christianity there existed the problem of misinterpreting and confusing authorities. I will attempt to analyse this psychological inclination of human beings, showing to what disastrous consequences it has led.
One could say that Judas was the prototype of such behaviour. Having God before his eyes, he saw in Him a man—a kind of king or nobleman—who would make him someone important and wealthy. He showed a typically human way of thinking, without the …

When we read in the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel of the vision of the abominations of Israel [2] – with the secret chambers of the Temple of Jerusalem used by the seventy elders of the House of Israel to celebrate infernal cults, and the most sacred place between the vestibule and the altar dedicated to sun worship [3]—we spontaneously sense a parallel with the abominations we have witnessed in recent decades: from the adoration of the Buddha on the tabernacle of the Church of Santa Chiara in Assisi, at the time of John Paul II’s pantheon, to the enthronement of the filthy idol of the Pachamama in the Vatican Basilica. It is difficult not to recognize in this blend of Canaanite and Babylonian cults, practiced by a portion of the people of Israel, a reference to the cult of Mother Earth, to green “conversion,” and to the sustainable goals of Agenda 2030.

In his recent address at the General Assembly of the Italian Bishops’ Conference in Assisi [1], Cardinal Matteo Zuppi said that “Christianity is over,” and that this fact must be viewed positively, as an chance, a καιρός. You will not fail to notice his use of globalist language, according to which every crisis induced by the System is also an opportunity: the so-called Covid pandemia, the war in Ukraine, the ecological transition, the Islamization of Western nations. Zuppi—one of the leading exponents of the synodal Church—is careful, however, to acknowledge that the destruction of the Catholic edifice and the erasure of the Catholic presence in society are …

The apostasy we are experiencing is not very different from that of the Bishops who swore loyalty to Henry VIII so as not to lose income and benefits: the difference is that today the act of obedience is required towards Bergoglio, the Second Vatican Council, the Novus Ordo, the “synodal church”, the Pachamama.

The dawn of morning wakes the world
A light drizzle washes the thirsty earth
Nature is so simple
And yet complicated
The wind will cool you down the sun will warm you …
But man always wants more and more …
He has a slice of bread then he would like three
Maybe two he’ll throw away but he’ll show that he has more than you
You won’t meet anyone under the fig tree, Lord

Now only churches count
Buildings once beautiful now ugly
In which people talk and talk and talk…

It is a sad song!

Looking back, You see where you stand,
and whether you’re straightening your ways.
You can’t fix your mistakes
by repeating them again and again.
So I’m writing this letter to You,
to know where I am —
how far from the uphill road,
paved with my sins,
but marked also by my good deeds.
I’m writing this letter to You,
hoping that my faith
will beg Your forgiveness.

All the elements — reason, and therefore logic, the soul, and the heart — only together, in perfect unity, form a person who can unite perfectly with God.
The world separates these elements, taking away above all logic, and creates a dump, a swamp of lies, half-truths and silence, in which people wallow. They get what they like most: the satisfaction of their desires, their sins. The devil looks at all of this and bursts with laughter, and God — in His mercy — patiently waits for those who will break out of the enchanted circle of lies created by man.

Against People, Against the World

When, about eight years ago, I began creating what today can be called a treasury of Catholic knowledge — the website niewolnikmaryi.com — I was guided by the hope that we would reach ordinary people with these texts. It never occurred to me then that it is precisely those ordinary people who are the driving wheel of the entire system of evil that surrounds us — whether in religion, morality, or politics. And so the hope slowly died. Yet every time I had enough and thought I no longer had the strength for this fight, a small spark appeared, rekindling everything again, and I would begin these Sisyphean labors from the beginning.
It was never anything big — sometimes a comment, sometimes someone wrote a few encouraging sentences. New ideas came; that is how the English-language website timeofapostasy.blog was created, and that is also how the songs to my poems and prayers are now being made, though those names may sound a bit lofty. I write my texts, putting into it sometimes more, …

But now let’s move on to what is most important — to faith. Because everything depends on it. The entire system, the entire reality in which we live, is based on one fundamental step: the destruction of Christian consciousness. The destruction of the foundations of morality that for centuries shaped man and society. Because it is precisely truth that this system fears the most. Truth is its enemy — and therefore it must destroy it.
Practically all so-called defenders of the Catholic faith today act exactly as the system wants. They proceed according to its line of reasoning, often without even realizing it — though I doubt that the most famous preachers do this unconsciously. After all, the same “fight” has been going on for decades — since the time of the Second Vatican Council — and yet everything is constantly heading in one direction. The steamroller of modernism moves on, crushing everything in its path. Catholic faith in its essence practically no longer exists.

The War That Continues — Let Them Be Cursed!

We are losing the fight today for our lives — for the lives of our children and for the future of Latin civilization, as it is commonly called. Though few people really understand anymore what this civilization is and where it came from. Many blame the system, the politicians, the impersonal forces. And yet the fault lies with us ourselves. Because we occupy ourselves with what we shouldn’t — trivial things, while the most important matters slip from our hands.First of all, we should realize that the so-called war in Ukraine was needed to cover up what happened during the so-called pandemic. So that people would forget as quickly as possible how they were enslaved, how their freedom was taken away under the pretext of safety, how billions were poured into the hands of a few. This had to be covered up — and it was done lightning-fast. That’s why the war in Ukraine broke out. It was deliberately brought about. This is the key element of the entire puzzle. We have forgotten that just a …

You have a bit of the “friendly” relations of Ukrainians toward their neighbors—the Poles. Definitely November, witnesses did not provide the day.
In the village of Kozaczyzna, Borszczów county, the Banderite Kyryło Gabrych abducted a 25-year-old Polish woman, Stefania Awanturę, from her home. After a few days, her body was found in a nearby forest. She was hanging by both hands from a tree branch. Beneath her were traces of a bonfire; she had burned feet and the lower part of her clothing (Komański…, p. 43).
In the village of Turówka, Skałat county, they murdered a 28-year-old Pole named Skwarek, married to a Ukrainian woman. His body was found in March 1944 by the bank of the Zbrucz River. It was wrapped in barbed wire, and in the victim’s head, several nails driven in were discovered (Komański…, p. 352).

Ukrainian genocide!

We are publishing today the text by Agnieszka Nagrodzka, who is fighting for the truth about the Ukrainian genocide of Poles.
First, a few words of my reflections on this topic.
Every Pole should ask themselves the question:
Why do we not want to remember one of the most horrific crimes in history—not only of Poland, not only of Europe, but of the entire world?
The very word genocide is too weak. “Volhynian Slaughter”—this term better captures the essence of this crime. But let us remember that it did not concern only Volhynia, but a much larger area.
Now ask yourselves one more question:
Why is the Katyn Massacre, in which several tens of thousands of Polish soldiers—adult men—were murdered, widely shown and serves as a pretext for building hatred toward Russians,
while the Volhynian crime, in which entire families—women, children, and the elderly—were murdered in a bestial manner, remains a topic that is still hushed up?
According to the research of Ewa and Władysław Siemaszko—…

The Polish have unthinkable massacres against them. May God bind up their wounds and bring them to eternal bliss.

That’s how it looked to someone looking from the sidelines, but the reality was quite different. Everything he got never met all his needs. If he needed money, he got it, often inexplicably, but never so much that it was enough to take care of an issue 100 percent. It was like building a house without all the necessary materials. You make a foundation but don’t have enough cement. The result is that you build on sand. You put in windows and doors but don’t have all you need, so you only put them in the front of the house and leave holes in the back. A nice facade, but unstable and in danger of collapse. When he perceives that he could lose everything, he joins a secret organisation—let’s call it occult.

Always remember this, always!

During a ghost-evoking seance, a group of young people noticed that the plate moved, and that’s pretty much all they remember. They dispersed and never talked about it. One of them converted after more than 20 years and started to analyses what had happened. It all started with youthful stupidity, walking away from God.
A friend committed suicide, and so they decided to call up ghosts to find out why he did it. But something happened. No one remembers exactly what it was, but at least for one of them, it changed his life completely. He was a young 15-year-old practicing Catholicism and even thinking about becoming a priest. Everything suddenly changed. In a very strange way, all the obstacles he faced in life disappeared. He passed exams for which he was not prepared, and teachers with whom he had conflicts left. That’s how it started. Later, there were bigger things. Money and success At a certain point in his life, he came to the conclusion that the impossible did not exist. He felt …

Hail Queen mother of the throne of David of the house of Jacob who reign will never end.

Our choices in every domain of life should be simple — just as the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ: Yes, yes or No, no, and anything in between comes from Satan. Above all such simple choices are needed by our souls and minds.
Many, indeed very many people, will assume that they themselves make choices, but unfortunately they do not realise that it is life in a lie, because by using the media, we are constantly fed information, which often acts on the subconscious – and we may not even know that each choice, starting with buying a dishwashing liquid and ending with politics, and what is worst – with our health – has been shown to us, and we obediently, like trained dogs or robots, follow orders.

Two pillars of the temple of the soul.

Time passes inexorably, racing among problems and lies. Now it seems to us that something is important, that some matter is a matter of life or death. We plunge into despair, perhaps depression, perhaps we even think of suicide. The doctors of our time advise: accept life as it is, then it is easier.Of course they do not add that it is then easier to fall downwards. We drown, not trying to save ourselves on the stormy waves of life. Our Lord Jesus Christ showed us everything, yet we do not listen to Him, we do not analyse, but allow ourselves to be led by others downwards, to the gates of hell. Even if you do not believe — what is depression, suicidal thoughts? Is it not hell in each of us?
The enemies of Christianity try, and unfortunately in large measure succeed, to convince us that what God has given us is superstition, folly and darkness. I have written about this many times already, but I will briefly recall the greatest absurdities. Fasting promoted by Christianity for centuries …

If you are wrapped up in your greatness and accept everything because you think you have earned everything, it means you are blind. So how can you see the errors? You thus close yourself to God and open yourself to everything that is wrong. You consider yourself equal to God and even greater because you think you are in charge of your own life, but you are just a puppet in the hands of Satan.
Watch yourself some coverage of so-called charismatic meetings. If you hear satanic gibberish, like from horror movies about possessed people, it means that your soul is still alive, but if you hear speech in tongues, as these fanatics claim, it’s time for conversion.
If you see demon-possessed people throwing themselves to the ground, then your soul is still alive, but if you see the workings of the spirit, then it’s time to repent and convert.
Don’t be fascinated by some soul levitations or stigmata. Do not follow such stories. First of all, the Church has always approached such things with …More

Opening up to the spiritual world. Seemingly, it may seem to us that our lives take place only in the material world.

In a world seemingly dominated by materialism, where wealth, earthly desires, and worldly pleasures often take precedence, a pervasive anti-Christian propaganda machine thrives on promoting this false narrative.We are dealing with the Catholic faith, so the best example of the changes that have taken place in the way Christians think are the priests, or rather the clergy as a whole. In the book “On the Imitation of Christ,” which was written many centuries ago, the author writes that at one time the measure of holiness was not only to follow the rules of monastic and priestly orders but to go even further—to add duties and prohibitions for the glory of the Lord. He notes, however, that even in modern times, one who makes any effort at all to follow the rules in force is considered almost a saint. Now it has gone much further, and the clergy not only do not enough to follow the already relaxed rules but also demand their changes go with the spirit of the world.
With horror, we can …

Through years of trials and experience we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that the Traditional Catholic Faith, the Faith of all times and of the saints, is incompatible with the new, modern Church, the fruit of the Second Vatican Council. They simply cannot coexist in one body.
Since we deeply cherish and honour the Traditional Latin Mass and cannot give up the Holy Mass of the centuries and of the saints, this new Church does not want us. Because of our fidelity, we have been considered stubborn, difficult and rebellious; stitched up and lied about in never-ending acrimony.
This letter appeals to all who sense that something is tremendously wrong in the Church or who think that the new Church and the unchanging Faith can peacefully coexist. Alas! Allow us to state the sad truth that our experience clearly shows this to be impossible.

Artists of Their Own Lies

We look where we are not.
We always paint a different image of ourselves —

If we cannot see truth within ourselves,

nothing is hidden anymore.

afraid of rejection, falling into the abyss of evil.
We destroy our own children in the name of our lies,

Where do you see progress here? Child sacrifices are also progress ? Do you think I have some conspiracy theories in mind ? No ! Look , pedophilia is multiplying and despite the fact that you keep hearing about the fight against this perversion, many countries keep lowering the age at which sex with children is not punished. This is how we sacrifice the innocence of our children on the altars of the world. Hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions a year are abused, but the mainstream media are silent about it , just as they are about the increasing persecution (murder) of Christians.

Navigating the Turbulent Tides of Change: Paganism, Modernity, and the Hidden Dangers.

To our misfortune, we live in interesting times. Everything is changing at a dizzying pace – it can be said that before our eyes the world of human sins is taking over souls.Advocates of worldview change say it is necessary to move forward without stopping or going backwards. Modernity and acting in accordance with the “spirit of the times” is the watchword of the world and the church today. Catholics are labeled backward, rigid, etc. However, even a cursory look at the facts leads us to quite the opposite conclusion.Belief in witchcraft, fairies and other pagan superstitions, after all, long since disproved by science, the one revered by rationalists / atheists, is spread. We can see very clearly that no real edifice is being built on the ruins of the Catholic Church, but just such ridiculed superstition and black magic.

You cannot change the truth! This is unfeasible. People think that if they build up some image of themselves e.g. on the Internet – including retouching their own photos – they will change the truth about who they are and how they look. They don’t. They only build houses – not on rock, but on the sand of lies, which sooner or later will crumble, leaving behind mental ruin, depression and even suicide.
You will not break through the walls of lies that surround you in any other way, only by detaching yourself from the noise, the noise of the world. You have to stop and look at it all from the side, you have to detach yourself from all the media – at least for a period of time that will allow you to see the truth and filter the information that reaches you.

Fill your soul with Truth

Truth has already become the language of hate and lies the language of love. The world of illusion we live in is a lie and everyone can see this, but most in this world have created for themselves their own little enclaves of illusion and excuses for their sins. The question must be asked:Who am I?An honest answer will help us to open our eyes; to see the truth in a web of lies. If most of a person’s life is focused on adding so-called ‘likes’ or ‘hearts’ on social networks and, on top of that, watching stupid videos – basically, the more stupid the more popular – they should ask themselves this question and look the truth in the eye. Who has he become and can he still think independently and normally?

Ugliness is a symbol of evil, sin, and death. It is something we should avoid and fight against. It is not physical ugliness but moral, spiritual, and emotional ugliness. Ugliness destroys our dignity, sense of worth, and hope. Ugliness makes us feel lonely, rejected, and meaningless. Ugliness kills our joy, peace, and love.
That is why it is so important to surround yourself with beauty and take care of your beauty. This is not about narcissism, vanity, or a false self-image. It is about seeing beauty in oneself and in others, in nature and in culture, in God and in people. It is about cultivating beauty in one’s body and soul, in one’s thoughts and feelings, and in one’s words and actions. It is about sharing beauty with others and inspiring them to do so.
Beauty is a cure for depression. Beauty is the source of life. Beauty is the path to God.
