One of the most awesome passages of Sacred Scripture — I use awesome in the sense of inspiring fear — are the words of Our Lord in the Second Chapter of the Apocalypse, foretelling of the evils which would befall the Church:

I know the blasphemy of those who call themselves “Jews” but who are naught but the synagogue of Satan …

For our Lord, it is a blasphemy to claim to be a servant of God and not be one. This is so, because the “of God” part invokes divine confirmation, and when this is to confirm the opposite of what God wills and teaches, it is a horrendous sin.

In our own day, we can read this same passage, Revelations 2:9, in a mystical sense, and replace “Jews” with “Catholics”, to understand the burning wrath of God which is kindled against those who claim this name but do the works of darkness in its stead.

While I could begin to name names, from persons like Mrs. Gates to Mrs. Pelosi or Joe Biden, I want to focus on a less known crowd, who loudly self-proclaim as faithful true Catholics, traditionalists even, but who are working night and day to sow not the words of the Gospel in men’s hearts so that they might repent and be saved, BUT RATHER the seeds of despair so that they lose all faith in the Living God, Who has promised us, “The Gates of the Nether World will never prevail against My Church!”.

Despair is the worst of sins, because when it reaches its fruit, it despairs of the intervention of God and this is the unforgivable sin.

To sow despair, therefore, is satanic.

And this can be done by those who say, that the problems in the Church are going to destroy it, while emphasizing that there is NOTHING you can do about it to effectively stop it, EXCEPT gathering around this or that sower-of-despair as your new pope, savior, or cult leader.

Nearly all the conservative social media personalities have joined this band-wagon, as they progressed from grifting for money to grifting for souls. This is the extremity of the avarice which is not satisfied with bilking its audience for a 6 bedroom house, but wants to guarantee perpetual profits and income from its theatrical act of milking discontent, and never allaying it.

We can imagine how great such a work of blasphemy these rogues are involved in, if we compare their work to the man, who goes through a neighborhood proclaiming that a certain woman is an adulteress and on top of this sows despair that her husband will do nothing about it, even if he were to catch the perp in the act of assaulting his wife, because he is an unfaithful husband who is impotent to keep his promises!

Imagine what would happen to such a vile preacher, if the husband was a professional fighter and caught hold of him. It would be brutal to watch.

Now, Holy Mother Church is a virgin bride, and she has never fornicated with another. And Her Spouse is the Omnipotent Invincible One, Jesus Christ, Who has loved His Spouse more than any man has ever loved his wife, and more than any god has loved his earthly love.

For this God descended from Heaven and died on the Cross to win this bride, and this Man endured a live of poverty, rejection and crucifixion to have her hand!

So perhaps now one can imagine the blazing wrath of the Word of God against all who sow despair and work against the unity of the Church, with the legitimate successor of St. Peter! Making the excuse of this man’s sins and scandals — which surely abound — as a reason or rather an excuse to sow despair and inaction.

True Catholics recognize the scandals but always advocate action to solving them. Yes, women and children can pray, but there comes a time when men must take action.

Imagine if the Faithful bitterly rebuked their Bishops every time they met them in the last 70 years, do you think the abominations of the Aggiornamento would ever have lasted.

So taking up arms is not necessary. Speaking the truth boldly is what is necessary. And demanding the resignation of the unworthy.

Not just talking about. But demanding it. — For just talking about it, is morally equivalent to watching a woman being raped. And in the Old Testament that was punishable by death.
