FRANCIS DOESN’T EVEN LOOK SICK.
“THE FEAST OF HER IMMACULATE CONCEPTION IS, THEN, IN MANY SENSES, THE COMMEMORATION OF HER PURITY, HER INTRANSIGENCE, AND HER COMBATIVENESS.”
Francis will surely be stopping at the Piazza del Populo to see the art exhibit.
As if the HOMO PIETA nudes weren’t shocking enough, they have been publicly flaunted since October in the Crucifixion Chapel of Santa Maria Montesanto. It’s an outrageous “Piedad de la Pederastia,” according to some Spanish newspapers. But the sculptor, who calls himself Jago (we think of Shakespeare’s archvillain, Iago, both derived from the same name Jacob), hopes the statues “will become a symbol for the community and for many new sculptors…to find courage and inspiration.” Yup, this is the same guy who got a medal for the sculpture of Benedict XVI in his papal robes, but then, after 2013, chiseled off every stitch of clothing.
Make of all this as you will, we can be quite certain that the piece copies the “Veristic” sculpture of Ancient Rome, an art style which rejects Classical beauty and metaphysical idealism in favor of signs of age (and existential authority) like wrinkles, frowns, lines, furrows, even baldness. Roman emperors, albeit positing themselves as gods, demanded that their statues look “human” and mortal, that they be constantly polished and waxed to maintain life-likeness. As far as I can tell, Jago’s “Old Man” is the spitting image of Vespasian, his ugly mug and hairless head easily found in world-famous museums (and on the Internet, of course). Besides looks, both are defined by death. Vespasian and his son destroyed the Holy Land, massacred or enslaved the people, razed the Temple of Jerusalem permanently. The conquest of Judea funded their building of the ultimate House of Death, the Colosseum
Art history also allows us to see HOMO PIETA as modeled on the Emperor Hadrian holding and grieving over his gay lover, Antinous, who had drowned in the Nile. The young man was duly “deified” by Hadrian who honored him (and sodomy) around the empire with festivals and cult temples. The face on his many statues and coins looks inscrutable and solemn. Artists often depicted him as “Dionysus-Antinous,” god of the bacchanal and debauchery, with “grapevine” hair and curled locks.
P.S. One of the most famous statues of Antinous, direct from Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli, is housed in the Vatican.
Guardians Against Tradition (Traditionis Custodes) makes this following essential point in raising up the Nu Mass Of Fellowship over the Tridentine Holy Sacrifice of the Mass – Nu abrogating the Sacrifice of the Mass of Sacred Tradition:
Quote: “Art. 1. The liturgical books promulgated by Saint Paul VI and Saint John Paul II, in conformity with the decrees of Vatican Council II, are the unique expression of the lex orandi of the Roman Rite.”
So what was the decree of Pope Paul VI that started this constantly degrading clown show? I recommend you read it yourself and make your own particular judgment about the words referenced by Bishop of Rome Bergoglio as justification for abrogating the Mass of Ages and replacing it with a shared meal.

Now read this extract from Papal Bull Quo Primum of hero of Lepanto Pope St. Pius V, establishing the Mass of Ages for all time by connecting it then (1570) to the past (Holy Fathers from antiquity) and the by reference to the Sacred Magisterium, also connecting it to the future: past, present, future, eternity – the essence of Holy Mother Church.
Quote: “Hence, We decided to entrust this work to learned men of our selection. They very carefully collated all their work with the ancient codices in Our Vatican Library and with reliable, preserved or emended codices from elsewhere. Besides this, these men consulted the works of ancient and approved authors concerning the same sacred rites; and thus they have restored the Missal itself to the original form and rite of the holy Fathers. When this work has been gone over numerous times and further emended, after serious study and reflection, We commanded that the finished product be printed and published as soon as possible, so that all might enjoy the fruits of this labor; and thus, priests would know which prayers to use and which rites and ceremonies they were required to observe from now on in the celebration of Masses.
Let all everywhere adopt and observe what has been handed down by the Holy Roman Church, the Mother and Teacher of the other churches, and let Masses not be sung or read according to any other formula than that of this Missal published by Us.”
One references Vatican II and the actors of Vatican II.
The other references the careful process of reference to the Holy Deposit of Faith.
One references new understandings and change.
The other references progression along a line of continuity with primary reference made to unity across time – “… the same sacred rites …”.
Again, I sincerely suggest you read the Apostolic Constitution promulgated by Pope Paul VI and reflect on the words written therein that first opened the junction on the train track and altered course from one destination to another. It all goes back to that.
Even in the titles of the two documents, you can see the different orientations – One is “New”; the other is of the dogmatic Council of Trent, “Promulgating the Tridentine Liturgy”.

I recommend you “Trads” out there, like John Salza, who are making the case to render the Holy Order of Society of St. Pius X outside of the Church thinkmlong and hard about whether you wish to continue this quest, because there is very, very little standing in the way of complete annihalation of contemporary access to the the Sacred Deposit of Faith and its crowning liturgical achievement – the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass of Pope St. Pius V, other than the lonely … but very, very active and effective … Priests of SSPX. A seed of Tradition in a dry, barren god-forsaken Modernist world.
