Last year some of them were still surprised. This year people know the Catholic press is corrupt. Last year they were still getting used to it.<\/p>\n<p>Why Voris, Weigel, and the media?\u00a0 It\u2019s the same thing that\u2019s ruined everything: money.\u00a0 It seems the powers-that-be have much more oppressive leverage since the TARP bailout and Obama.\u00a0 Money must also be behind the Muslim colonization.\u00a0 Someone holds the purse strings behind all these unwanted changes.<\/p>\n<p>They even tie the banks to Benedict\u2019s abdication.\u00a0 You probably saw.\u00a0 Regulators put the freeze on Vatican banking until the day he stepped down.<\/p>\n<p>Today with Francis, a top Washington firm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.promontory.com\/\">Promontory<\/a>, supposedly has access to the Vatican books, and the latest Vatican Bank capitulations have turned all their transactions \u2018transparent\u2019.\u00a0 If the Church had not complied with these new rules, they&#8217;d continue to be charged with laundering.\u00a0 Now, if someone gives the Vatican money, they know about it in Brussels and Washington; I\u2019m sure D.C. takes note of big donations to the Church these days.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s rumored that healthcare money was behind John Roberts and Obamacare.<\/p>\n<p>How are they making the whole world gay and genderless?\u00a0 The same way they made adultery, abortion, hypersexuality, and divorce widespread; the same way they\u2019ve divided men and women: Money.<\/p>\n<p>What we call banking used to be called usury. Doctrine against it hasn\u2019t changed; it\u2019s just been suppressed.\u00a0 No-one can even cite or explain it today.\u00a0 The Church understood that banking was unjust.\u00a0 It grew like a tumor out of the Enlightenment. It\u2019s just a shell game anyway.\u00a0 What are stocks?\u00a0 What do you get for a \u2018share?\u2019\u00a0 It only keeps ahead of the inflation when others want it more than you did.<\/p>\n<p>Before the Federal Reserve, you could stuff money in your mattress and not lose it. Today they steal 4-10% every year if you don\u2019t invest and take a risk.\u00a0 Your gamble is what keeps them rich, just like in Vegas.\u00a0 Banks were on both sides of the Napoleonic Wars and the Civil War.<\/p>\n<p>Now we have insurance for everything, interest, high taxes, and inflation.\u00a0 We have to pay the emperors for electricity, water, fuel, and communication.\u00a0 We have to go to them for food and send kids to their schools.\u00a0 We have to sit in expensive cars to reach their work facilities.\u00a0 They say it\u2019s progress, and that may be true in some ways, but you can\u2019t deny it\u2019s a kind of slavery.<\/p>\n<p>All the while, the Church just keeps getting smaller, less orthodox, and less different.\u00a0 What is a Catholic school anyway?\u00a0 Even the few faithful colleges are all pope-worshipping \u2018conservatives\u2019 now.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-Life politics doesn\u2019t stop the genocide.\u00a0 It seems almost to enable it.\u00a0 We talk while they die.\u00a0 Abortion is the absolute lowest sin, but for us it&#8217;s everything.\u00a0 It&#8217;s almost the Faith itself.\u00a0 But just like gay sex, it was beneath Our Lord to even speak of it in scripture.\u00a0\u00a0 What about the rest of what it takes to create a true Christian society, one that can guide us to Heaven?\u00a0 Where is all that?<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think God is impressed.\u00a0 How much longer could we expect Christ to watch our weakness?<\/p>\n<p>Pepin and the Papal States were essential to the Church.\u00a0 It was only ninety years after they stole them from us that we got John XXIII.\u00a0 Today the Church is what our rulers permit it to be; is it not?\u00a0 They permit it to die.<\/p>\n<p>So now The Remnant is in a spot, just when people are realizing they\u2019ve been right. Nobody has any money for the Truth.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s time to do like St. Francis and the Apostles:\u00a0 take a buddy, one pair of sandals, and make a lean-to.\u00a0 At least until Peter comes around, maybe that&#8217;s all we&#8217;ve got.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I got a note today from someone who is frustrated about the ugly Synod in Rome and the hapless press and is concerned over The Remnant&#8217;s call for donations.
