True Church, Two Witnesses & Monarchy
A Barrel of Rotten Apples
Francis/Bergoglio's Decree 'confirms' what many have warned the FSSPX for years, that to enter into dialogue with Apostate Rome with the intention of cooperating with Vatican II and the Roman Authorities (I accept 95% of Vat. II and Nostra Aetate - Bishop Fellay) indicates that those warning the SSPX of the treachery of Rome are now exonerated, that their leadership lacks objective insight, are naive in regards to the intentions of Rome, or their leader's (Bishop Fellay's) ambition clouds his reason, along with all the priests of the FSSPX that support his efforts to make an agreement with the enemies of God and His Church.
Now the FSSP and the other members of Ecclesia Dei (now no more) who were warned that eventually they would suffer the consequences of appeasement and short sightedness, to say the least, will suffer the consequences of their misguided cooperation with Apostate Roman Authorities.
The FSSP and FSSPX had illusions - such as if you place one good apple in a barrel of rotten apples, the good apple will turn them all whole and good again - of such a naive lack of objectivity and reason.
There is also a rumor, that a New Ordo Mass is in the works - a "Ecumenical Mass" that can be celebrated by any religion, minister, pagan priest or whosoever.
And the faith will be found only in a few families and cottages (homes) - Catholic prophecy - for those who, in spite of all the attacks against the faith, both within Apostate Rome and from Judeo/Freemasonry (Covid19 - NWO), who hold on to their perennial and Traditional True Catholic Faith of over 2000 years, will have to undergo the coming purges, violence and attacks against them and their families, and a most severe test of the 'courage of the faith'.

In Honor of the Two Witnesses
Rev. Fr. J.S. (ordained to the priesthood in the traditional Roman rite) will celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in honor of the Two Witnesses of the Apocalypse on July 20, 2021, at 6:30 PM, Manila time on the feast day of St. Elias, Founder of the Carmelite Order.
The Eucharistic Sacrifice will be celebrated using the traditional pre-Vatican II Carmelite Missal.
Let us pray for the full restoration of the traditional Roman Rite in the Catholic Church.

Does the U.S. Reject Monarchy?
I was reading your interesting article titled, "Was Jefferson Inspired by St. Robert Bellarmine?" Does the United States Constitution reject the idea of monarchy as a form of government?
You'll have to forgive me, I'm from Sydney, Australia and I haven't read the U.S. Constitution.
Thank you,
P.F.

The author responds:
Dear Mr. P.F.,
Thank you for your interest in my article on Jefferson and St. Robert Bellarmine. In answer to your question, the United States Constitution does reject monarchy, although in an indirect rather than a direct way.
First, in Article 1, Section 9, the U.S. Constitution states that "No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
In essence, this deprives any king or ruler his power to confer titles of nobility, thus rejecting both monarchy and aristocracy.
Second, in Article 4, Section 4, the U.S. Constitution states that "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
By this guarantee, all other forms of government (monarchy and aristocracy) are excluded, and the only legitimate form of government recognized is a republic, or democracy.
I hope this is sufficient to answer your question.
Cordially,
Elizabeth Lozowski

I don’t understand your recent decisions, but this letter is not about that. It is about me, or rather all of us in the world who are being increasingly oppressed because of our Catholic beliefs.
We want you to understand plainly that no matter what happens, no matter what you or anyone in authority does or doesn’t do in the future, we will never give up our traditional Catholic Faith – not ever.
We love Christ and His Church too much. We love the perennial Church and all of her teachings. We love the ancient Mass and we know that the Novus Ordo can never truly replace it. We love all of the Saints and Martyrs born from this Mass. We love the Fathers of the Church and all of her timeless traditions. We love our children and we will not stand to see their souls endangered – or our own – by the modernist age that Vatican II helped usher in.
We know you can take away absolutely everything from us – and we are ok with that. We are content to have nothing but our faith if that is God’s will in this darkest of times. You can take away our Sacraments. You can take away our Priests. You can take away our Churches. You can try to excommunicate us. You can tear our families apart. We are ok with all of it.
I’m not sure if you really believe in Christ anymore, but we do. We believe in Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. We will do anything and everything we possibly can at every moment in this life to ensure we are with Christ in the next life.
We will give up every drop of our blood for our traditional Catholic Faith if necessary just as we remember in this month of the Precious Blood that Christ gave every drop of His for us. We are not afraid of you, we are afraid for you, because we know that we are on the side of Christ yesterday, today and forever.
