But by Thursday morning, the absolute silence of the “Catholic” Press in the English speaking world has received a journalistic slap on its face.
For in the printed copy of Il LIbero, (March 18, page 9) Andrea Cionci confirmed the appointment and reported on it after by speaking with Lorenzo Festicini. — Here is the full PDF for doubters. — The title of the article will be hard to swallow for fake catholics, too: Ratzinger nominates an Ambassador, just as a reigning Pontiff would do. — Here is a partial screen shot of the PDF.
The action of the Roman Pontiff in naming an ambassador is something reserved by Divine right to the Roman Pontiff. He normally does this by appointing Apostolic Nuncios or Papal Legates. The former are his official representatives to the governments of the world, with which the Apostolic See has diplomatic relations. The latter he does in regard to Churches and special events. The Vatican, being a sovereign state, also has de jure the capacity to name Ambassadors. In Canon Law, neither Nuncios, Legates or Ambassadors have to be clergy or even male. Naming a Humanitarian Ambassador, thus, in canon law, is a possible, through it has no canonical consequence and pertains more to the authority of the Roman Pontiff as Monarch of the Vatican City State as a nation. In fact, it is a honorarium, more than an official act.
Lorenzo Festicini, when asked by Cionci explained it thus: “It regards a purely spiritual nomination, a blessing for his humanitarian work in Benin“.
For Catholics who believe, however, the Papal Office is in its essence, power, grace and authority, a purely spiritual institution, which however, is set up by God Himself over all institutions of mankind and of men. “Purely spiritual” is not as the Modernist would conceive is, as equivalent to “purely immaginary”, but as a St. Thomas Aquinas or St. Bonaventure would expound it, as “plenipotentiary in right”, the act of a Vicar of a Monarch who is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
It remains, thus, that Pope Benedict XVI knows and accepts, and believes and has now begun to act once again, as the one and only Pope, Vicar of Jesus Christ and Roman Pontiff.
The eclipse of the Church, which Melanie of La Salette, had warned us of, has begun to end. The moon of fraud has begun to withdraw, and the Sun which never went away, is beginning to sends its powerful and intense rays of light back down to the earth.
FromRome.Info explained this back on January 29th, and it is a joy to see that the Holy Father has given the Catholic World this sign of great hope.

Imagine being a nongovernmental organization that could operate without paying any taxes, while also having total immunity for anything you do wrong. That’s what this Bill Gates corporation is able to do, according to a long-term World Health Organization insider.
STORY AT-A-GLANCE
· The WHO has turned global health security into a dictatorship, where the director general has assumed sole power to make decisions by which member states must abide
· According to a long-term World Health Organization insider, Bill Gates’ vaccine alliance, GAVI, is directing the WHO
· GAVI is headquartered in Switzerland. In 2009, GAVI was recognized as an international institution and granted total blanket immunity, including immunity against criminal sanctions. It is also exempt from paying taxes
· In 2017, Gates asked to be part of the WHO’s executive board — like a member state — because of his funding. While the “one-man nation-state of Gates” was not officially voted in, it appears he may have been granted unofficial power of influence
· Swissmedic, the Food and Drug Administration of Switzerland, has entered into a three-way contract agreement with Gates and the WHO. It appears other WHO member states have entered into this three-way agreement as well

Detail from “St. Joseph, the Carpenter” (c. 1635-40) by Georges de la Tour [WikiArt.org]
As we celebrate this official Year of St. Joseph, announced on December 8, 2020 by Pope Francis,Catholics readily join in paying tribute to a great and well-loved saint. Surely Our Lord’s foster-father has always held a prominent place in the hearts of the faithful? Surely, we have always invoked the trio of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph? At the risk of shocking those who remember writing J+M+J on parochial school papers and those who make a personal consecration to the saint, the answer is no.
A world without St. Joseph
Imagine a world where no Christian is named for St. Joseph, where no religious entity bars his name. Picture St. Joseph absent from the Missal, the Breviary, the Church calendar, and the Litany of the saints. No shrines, no devotions, no hymns, no solo images, no popular customs, no festive foods honor St. Joseph. This world without St. Joseph was Christendom into the fourteenth century. Up to that point, St. Joseph was almost universally ignored, reduced to a mere spear carrier in the pageant of Salvation.
This situation still prevails in Greek Orthodoxy. Although their tradition calls St. Joseph “The Holy Righteous Elder the Betrothed,” it gives him no independent cult or solo feast day. Instead the Greeks commemorate him together with King David and St. James “The Brother of the Lord” on the first Sunday after the Nativity or on 26 December. Pointedly rated a minor figure, St. Joseph is something of an ecumenical stumbling block in the East.
The long obscurity of this now exalted saint seems incredible. But St. Joseph’s long march from Zero to Hero is a fascinating episode in the history of Catholic spirituality and one that resonates with modern issues.
Scripture provides minimal materials to fashion a popular cult of St. Joseph. The Gospels record not a single word of St. Joseph’s: he is a silent as well as a “just” man. Only 15 times do the Evangelists refer to him by name, which means “may God add/ gather,” (Compare this to seven mentions for Joseph of Arimathea who went on to star in legends of the Holy Grail.) Mark never uses his name, although John does call Jesus “son of Joseph” twice. Only the Infancy Narratives of Matthew and Luke depict St. Joseph in person. After Jesus’ youth, he simply disappears, presumably dying before the Savior’s public life begins. He has no traditional burial site and leaves no bodily relics.
None of the above would have necessarily pushed St. Joseph into the background. Imaginative legends were concocted for nameless New Testament cameo players who came to be known as Sts. Martial, Veronica/Bernike, Longinus, and Dismas. So why did Christians ignore St. Joseph for so long?
A major cause was the anxiety of the Early Church to defend the Virgin Birth and the perpetual virginity of Our Lady. Minimizing Joseph magnified Mary. Although they mention him here and there, the Fathers remained studiously incurious about his life. For instance, the three volumes of William A. Jurgens’s popular Faith of the Early Fathers contains only six references to St. Joseph, all concerning his chaste but nevertheless real marriage.
A side effect of this Patristic neglect meant that Muhammed probably never heard of St. Joseph from Christian sources. Sura XIX of the Koran, entitled “Mary,” recounts her miraculous and virginal conception of the Prophet Jesus. But this exalted maiden is unmarried and narrowly avoids punishment by her scandalized family.
Apocryphal texts purported to fill gaps in the canonical Scriptures concerning Our Lord’s family. The most influential of these was the Greek Protevangelium of James, (ca. 150), supplemented a few centuries later with material from The History of Joseph the Carpenter and The Infancy Gospel ofThomas. In these less than flattering accounts, St. Joseph is a ninety-year old widower with six grown children—four sons and two daughters. The High Priest summons him and other widowed men to Jerusalem in order to chose a husband for young Mary. St. Joseph wins the holy lottery when a dove (or lily) emerges from his staff. Although he tries to beg off “lest I become a laughingstock to the children of Israel,” the High Priest insists. When Mary is found to be with child before their wedding, St. Joseph frets that she has been deceived by Satan as Eve was before her. Later at Bethlehem, St. Joseph is off looking for a midwife while Mary gives birth with miraculous ease while retaining her virginity. Eventually he dies at age 111 with Jesus and Mary at his side. Jesus promises to bless those who honor his memory.
Although condemned by popes in the West, the Protevangelium provided the East with its preferred solution to the pesky “Brethren of the Lord” problem: those people the Gospels call siblings of Jesus must have been children from St. Joseph’s previous marriage. (Western scholars, however, have preferred to see them as cousins.)
The Protevangelium was reworked in Latin between the eighth and ninth centuries as The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew. This spread legends about St. Joseph throughout Western Christendom. They gained further popularity by appearing in the Middle Ages’ favorite book about saints, The Golden Legend by Jacobus de Voragine (1298). Jacobus discusses St. Joseph only in connection with feasts of Our Lord and Our Lady because he did not yet have a feast day of his own.
Such sources made an elderly St. Joseph subordinate to Mary a stock figure in medieval literature. For instance, in the fifteenth century English mystery play Joseph, he’s a querulous and comical codger who fears that he has been cuckholded.
But the low point of St. Joseph’s position in medieval eyes has to be the story of Bl. Herman Joseph of Steinfeld, a Norbertine priest (d. 1240). Cozy apparitions that he had had from childhood climaxed in a mystical marriage with his “sweetheart,” the Blessed Virgin. Afterwards, the holy man added “Joseph” to his birth name Herman, symbolically displacing St. Joseph in Mary’s affections.
St. Joseph appears in a mosaic illustrating the Presentation at St. Mary Major at Rome (ca. 440) but he was generally marginalized in medieval art. Illuminated manuscripts depicted the grey-bearded saint only in Gospel scenes, never in devotional images. At least Northern Gothic artists let him be active in caring for the Christ Child but only in menial tasks such as finding water, cooking, or swathing the Infant in his wooly hose. But the Merode Altarpiece (ca. 1425) goes beyond these conventions to show St. Joseph working alone in his carpentry shop.
Tuscan painters developed a very different art motif in the fourteenth century. The “charivari of St. Joseph” shows Mary’s disappointed young suitors—those who failed the High Priest’s fitness test—waving their staves angrily and threatening elderly St. Joseph during his wedding to Mary. This reflects contemporary social conditions that left many vigorous youths unable to marry while older men snapped up tender maidens with rich dowries.
Even at the end of the Middle Ages, when the spiritual needs of families gained more attention, St. joseph was still being pushed into the background. “The Holy Kindred,” a subject popular with the bourgeoisie of Northern Europe, depicts a gathering of Our Lady’s whole family. St. Joseph and all the other husbands merely stand behind a barrier to watch their seated womenfolk and playing children. Only after 1500, when patriarchy was growing sterner, does St. Joseph move into the circle of activity and get to touch Baby Jesus.
Medieval parents, however, continued to avoid the name Joseph for their children. One looks in vain for any historical figures named for him. It was so out of favor that only a single Guiseppe appears—late—on a list of 53,000 Tuscan householders collected before 1530. The earliest Catholic saints bearing St. Joseph’s name came along even later: Canary Islander St. Joseph Anchieta (b. 1534) and Spaniard St Joseph Calasanctius (b. 1556).
A slow-growing devotion
But ever so slowly, local Churches began honoring St. Joseph. In Egypt, where The History ofJoseph the Carpenter had originated (ca. 300-500), Coptic Christians had given him his own feast day (20 July) by the end of the first millennium. The Year 1000 found St. Joseph mentioned in two or three local saint lists in Ireland and Germany. Latin Catholics celebrated his feast day for the first time at Winchester, England around 1030. St. Joseph enjoyed his first dedication of an oratory (1074 at Parma, Italy), a church (1129 at Bologna, Italy), and a chapel (1254 at Joinville, France).
Meanwhile, St. Joseph attracted private devotion from Sts. Bernard of Clairvaux (d. 1153), Gertrude the Great (d. 1302), Birgitta of Sweden (d. 1373), and even the heterodox Franciscan Peter Olivi (d. 1298). He had entered the special Breviaries used among Carmelites, Franciscans, and Servites by the end of the fourteenth century. His feast day was fixed on 19 March, where it remains to this day.
This gradually building medieval interest in St. Joseph might not have carried him to later prominence without the calamities of the fourteenth century. That era opened with unprecedented famine around the shores of the North Sea. The ruinous Hundred Years’ War between England and France sucked in other states. Civil war tore at Castile, Portugal and Scotland. Poland-Lithuania battled of the Franciscan Order. for its existence. Peasants and artisans rose in revolt from Tuscany to Flanders, England to Estonia. Heresies, corruption, and religious hysteria disfigured the Church while she suffered the Babylonian Captivity and the Great Western Schism. Over all these miseries rode the Black Death which would kill more than a quarter of Europe’s people in the first of its many assaults.
These multiple horrors inflicted on families and communities cried out for heavenly healing. Reform-minded French theologian Jean Gerson (d. 1429), Chancellor of the University of Paris and a noted spiritual writer, proposed St. Joseph as the ideal family man and protector. Gerson’s 2957-line poem the Josephina promoted the saint and his timely virtues across Europe.
Gerson’s ideas were amplified by his contemporary, St. Bernardine of Siena (d. 1444), a spell-binding preacher and a reformer of the Franciscan Order. St. Bernardine labored all his life to evangelize Italian city-states, whose proud consumerist culture let money distort elite marriage patterns. These societies were further disfigured by widespread attempts at contraception and a streak of sodomy.
Gerson and St. Bernardine gathered up existing pro-Joseph trends and rewrote his role in Salvation History. Rejecting the traditional figure of an elderly St. Joseph, they insisted that the saint must have been a strong young man, well able to care for the Holy Family. St. Bernardine struck an especially sympathetic note with his urban audiences by calling St. Joseph a “diligent administrator” who worked day and night supporting his loved ones.
Furthermore, they claimed that St. Joseph was a virgin, not a widower. God had lavished special graces on him, including cleansing him from Original Sin before birth, that prepared him to be a fitting spouse for Mary. Gerson and St. Bernardine also believed that St. Joseph had been assumed into heaven after his death. Thus, the Holy Family had been reunited body and soul to maintain the same bond of charity that had joined them together on earth. Gerson hailed them in these words: “O venerable trinity Jesus, Joseph, and Mary, which divinity has joined, the concord of love!”
By the sixteenth century, devotion to St. Joseph was flourishing mightily in Spain. St. Teresa of Avila (d. 1582) became his great advocate because she attributed her recovery from paralysis to his intercession. She praised “the glorious St. Joseph” as her “father and lord.” She fervently longed “to persuade all to be devoted to him” as a helper in every need.
In the 1550s, St. Teresa was also dreaming of reforming her Carmelite Order. She placed this difficult project—and the dangerous journeys it required—under St. Joseph’s protection. She dedicated twelve of the seventeen new monasteries she founded to the saint and adorned all of them with his solo statue, honors hitherto unknown.
St. Teresa’s enthusiasm infected others, notably her friend and fellow Discalced Carmelite Jeronimo Gracian. This friar’s popular Josephina (1597) repeated earlier praises for the saint and declared him the man who most resembled Christ in “countenance, speech, physical constitution, custom, inclinations, and manner.” Gracian also plucked the command Ite ad Joseph (“Go to Joseph”) from the story of the Old Testament patriarch Joseph (Gn 41: 55) to use as the New Testament saint’s motto. It is still often inscribed on his altars and images.
Carmelite devotion to St. Joseph spread to other religious orders within Spain and throughut the Spanish Empire. The first foundation of St. Teresa’s nuns in France (1604) transplanted her spirituality to the French “Century of Saints.” Her love of St. Joseph struck particularly deep roots in the heart of St. Francis de Sales (d. 1622), the great advocate of holiness in everyday life.
St. Francis built Josephite piety into the Order of the Visitation that he co-founded with St. Jane de Chantal (d. 1641). Visitandine nuns were directed to say a daily chaplet, litany, and meditative prayers to St. Joseph. St. Francis himself eloquently preached to them about his favorite saint.
The flourishing of the stalwart family saint
The nineteenth of St. Francis’s Spiritual Conferences extolls the charity, humility, courage, constancy, and strength of St. Joseph. These virtues are envisioned as flowers embroidered on his heavenly garments. As the Savior’s guardian, St. Joseph must have been “more valiant than David and wiser than Solomon.” As the human being closest to the Blessed Virgin in perfection, he was worthy of the special intimacy he enjoyed with Jesus. St. Francis was also the liveliest publicist for St. Joseph’s resurrection and assumption. He presented the saint as “the glorious father of our life and our love,” as well as a tremendous intercessor and patron of parents, workers, and the dying.
St. Joseph the stalwart family saint meshed nicely with Counter-Reformation strategies for re-evangelizing Christendom. His strength and dignity fit Early Modern ideals of patriarchal authority: families were encouraged to imitate the harmonious order of the Holy Family headed by St. Joseph. No wonder the saint became one of heaven’s brightest stars in the seventeenth century.
St. Joseph’s growing reputation also left its mark on Renaissance and Baroque art. At the turn of the sixteenth century, Italian paintings such as Raphael’s Betrothal of the Virgin (1504) exalt the religious significance of matrimony over its social and economic aspects. They show St. Joseph as a model husband dutifully marrying in a Church ceremony, unlike contemporary aristocrats who wed at home before a notary. This public relations campaign was, however, rendered obsolete later in the century after the Council of Trent required all Catholics to marry before a priest and two witnesses.
Other Counter-Reformation policies affected the familiar iconography of St. Joseph. In 1570, Johannes Molanus, Rome’s arbiter of religious art, demanded a purge of legendary material. Among the subjects he denounced were the Holy Kindred and apocryphal accounts of St. Joseph’s life. Molanus decreed that the saint be represented as young and vigorous, with the Child Jesus firmly under his paternal authority.
Baroque artists did not always obey these rules. St. Joseph kept his miraculous flowering staff and sometimes his grey hairs. But fresh images of St. Joseph were created to meet market demand, especially in the Hispanic world where he was a royal favorite. Both El Greco (in 1597) and Zurbaran (n 1636) painted portraits of a strong, black-bearded St. Joseph walking hand in hand with the Holy Child. This motif of a man leading God would be much imitated because it captures the saint’s fatherly love so well. Zurbaran’s more formal Coronation of St. Joseph (1636) shows the Our Risen Lord awarding his foster father a floral crown of glory. Murillo’s delightful genre scene The Holy Family with a Little Bird and his St. Joseph with the Christ Child (both 1670’s) depict the saint as a young and darkly handsome Spanish father.
Engravings made in the Spanish Netherlands spread such imagery throughout Catholic Europe and carried it to the New World. In Mexico and the Andes, where the Spanish conquest and European diseases still left cruel scars, Indians embraced St. Joseph as their spiritual father. Colonial artists made charmingly naïve paintings of their saint into the eighteenth century. Under a bell-shaped crown, his face is the face of Jesus and his garments are spangled with gilt flowers.
The Church showered St. Joseph with new honors in Early Modern times. She gave him official patronages: Mexico (1555), Canada (1624), Bohemia (1655), Austria (1675), the Chinese missions (1678), and all of Spain’s dominions (1689). Modern Belgium inherited his patronage from the Spanish Empire. Of course, St. Joseph continued to be invoked by families, carpenters, woodworkers, doubters, travelers, house hunters, and the dying.
The Roman Calendar had first listed St. Joseph’s feast day as 19 March in 1479. He received his own special office in the Roman Breviary in 1714 and his name was inserted in the Litany of Saints in 1729. The month of March and Wednesday of all weeks became specially associated with him.
The first religious order dedicated to the saint was the Congregation of St. Joseph founded at Le Puy, France in 1650. Dozens of orders now serving in active ministries worldwide stem from those French sisters. Many other congregations with different roots also honor the saint, whether his name appears in their formal designation or not.
Patron, guide, and model
Like other traditional religious practices, Joseph-centered piety suffered with the advent of Modern times. Families, communities, and the Church came under cruel pressure in the new industrialized, militantly secular era. But a succession of popes saw St. Joseph as a prime healer for contemporary woes. They sought new ways to draw his intercession. In 1847, St. Pius IX ordered that a feast of the Patronage of St. Joseph be celebrated everywhere on the third Wednesday after Easter. The same Pope, now the “Prisoner of the Vatican” following the Unification of Italy, declared St. Joseph official patron of the Church in 1870.
Leo XIII’s encyclical Quam pluries (1889) invokes St. Joseph against the religious and social crises of his day. Besides expressing familiar sentiments on the saint’s singular virtues, he asks the poor to take St. Joseph, not Socialism, as their guide to justice.
The rise of Bolshevism three decades later made that last thought more relevant than Leo could have envisioned. In 1930, Pius XI named St. Joseph a special protector of Russia to counteract Soviet persecution of Christians and invoked him again seven years later against atheistic Communism. In 1955, Pius XII replaced the Patronage of St. Joseph with a new feast of St. Joseph the Worker on 1 May, the traditional day for working class, Socialist, and Communist festivities. Since then, new images of the saint tend to feature carpenter’s tools rather than lilies.
To call down blessings on the Second Vatican Council, St. John XXIII made St. Joseph its special patron in 1961 and inserted his name in the Canon of the Mass in 1962. (The latter innovation eventually drove a few outraged Lefebvrist priests to form the sedevacatist Society of St. Pius V.) But St. John Paul II’s apostolic exhortation Redemptoris Custos (1989) broadens his predecessors’ concerns.
For St. John Paul II, the mystery of St. Joseph’s faith-based obedience to God plays out in the family, “sanctuary of love and cradle of life.” He emphasizes the reality of the saint’s marriage and paternity: self-giving love is what matters. Outside the family, St. Joseph “brought human wok closer to the mystery of the Redemption.” He is our model for harmonizing the active and the contemplative life. Inheritor of the Old Covenant, his association with Jesus and Mary in their “domestic church” makes him a fitting patron of the universal Church born of the New Covenant.
Redemptoris Custos places St. Joseph on the front line of efforts to renew the family, society, and the Church. With chastity and fatherhood disparaged, workers devalued, and the true Faith fading, now more than ever, we must “Go to Joseph.”

My Religious & Moral Claim to Exemption From Receiving the Covid-19 Vaccinations
Be it known to all Medical personnel and all Government Medical agencies and personnel that I, ________________, dated ___/___/______, do soundly reject the immorality and godlessness of all vaccinations which would place anything into the blood stream which are not already native to our blood. This Moral and Religious objection is based on four independently standing divine certainties:
First, I reject vaccinations as immoral and anti-God because they are an insult to God and an impairment of His whole-body mechanism for defense against the cause of disease which are simply toxins. It is admitted by even today’s medical profession that by-passing the natural human defense system that begins with the nasal passage and goes then to the gut leaves the body naturally weaker at the next toxic offense. Thus vaccinations, at very best, are an insult to God the Creator and an unlawful assault against the human body, God’s ultimate creation!
Second, I reject vaccinations as immoral and anti-God because of the certainty of the Divine promise of health and freedom from dis-ease to those who obey Him and who walk in faith and love. In other words, faith and real union with God give our bodies maximin health (and sometimes even miraculous health restoration, if one’s faith is restored):
“He [The Lord God of Heaven] said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”Exodus 15:26
“And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. 19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.”Mark 16:17-20
Third, I reject all vaccines as immoral and anti-God because the present medical establishment/system is nearly entirely under the control of the SATANIC BEAST of Rev. 13 upon whose back rides the Great financial and commercial Whore of Babylon. Why else would Big Pharma use aborted baby cells — from many babies — to create any, let alone many, of their vaccines? Big Pharma with direct roots to the NAZI war crime families and companies runs this diabolical evil system (now even allowing workplace enforcement of even experimental gene altering injections!) all of which was predicted for the Last Days and for which we are called to extract ourselves or pay the divine consequences:
“‘Come out of her [Babylon], my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;”Rev. 18:4 These worldwide plagues now beginning are detailed in Rev. 6:5-8
”The light of a lamp shall not shine in you [Babylon] anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your pharmaceuticals [Greek: pharmakeia ] all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth [through our CIA planned and funded mid-east wars and CIA sponsored Muslim terrorist attacks on Christians] .”Rev. 18:23-24
On the present complete diabolical fraud of the entire modern medical establishment, we go to top Pathologist Dr. Roger Hodkinsonand CEO of the firm that makes the PCR test. He said in a phone conference to Canadian government officials in Alberta that this test was never made to detect actual infection and that the corona virus pandemic was “the greatest hoax ever perpetuated on an unsuspecting public.” For the scientific fraud behind the “germ” / virus theory of disease please get Dr.Tom Cowan’s The Contagion Myth. Certainly, there are some pathogens that are dangerous but it’s the toxins they release that cause disease but there is no contagion here.
Our medical Doctors should first and foremost be trustworthy spiritual ministers who if not able by spiritual means can still bring a degree of health to their patients through “natural” means. Medical doctors thus could and should be a vial bridge in God’s kingdom between their unbelieving patients and the light of God and true Christian faith.
Fourth, I reject all vaccines as immoral and anti-God because the “modern” theory that vaccines (as well as mere symptom-addressing drugs), are the keys to human health is a massive Satanic deception. It was based on the now known fraud created and perpetuated by Louis Pasteur that claimed that pathogens and “viruses” were enemies of human health and the cause of sickness and dis-ease. Pasteur, the plagiarist and liar (who was paid handsomely by the French government who used his fraud as a political weapon) not only admitted he was wrong before his death, but actually journaled his fraud which now has finally been made public! Godless evolutionary materialists picked up this theory and used it to create the illusion of vaccine necessity, which made the Rockefellers very wealthy and enabled them to take over the AMA and all our medical schools. Here’s an account of this medical fraud that is now being used to shut down the world’s economy, starve hundreds of millions and drive thousands to suicide.
“In January of 2017, the German molecular biologist and virologist Dr. Stefan Lanka won a case in German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in claiming that “there is no such thing as measles virus”. Dr. Lanka has become controversial for exposing and debunking the hoax of germ theory, the dogma that protects the pharmaceutical establishment of today by claiming that their synthetic and chemical-based pills and vaccines protect us from, of course, germs and viruses. Through his years of expertise and personal experiments, what he discovered was the opposite – germs and “viruses” are essential for us humans to live!
“To add to the perspective, here’s what Dr. Jarek Esarco, a pediatric and family wellness Chiropractor and an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), has written:
“When the germ theory was first being proposed in the nineteenth-century by forerunners Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur, it was very controversial and had many detractors within the scientific community. One critic in 1884 was so convinced that the theory was wrong, he gulped down a glass of water that was mixed heavily with vibrio cholerae, the bacterium associated with cholera. Astounding his colleagues, he was completely unaffected by the pathogen. The magazine Science published an article in 2000 describing the incident stating: “For unexplained reason he remained symptom free, but nevertheless incorrect.” (DiRita2000)
Signed by the above named, ______________________________________
My question to the federal government in these troubled times is simple: who stands for me? The Congress doesn’t, the president and his administration don’t, and the Supreme Court doesn’t. The FBI, DOJ, CIA, and Armed Forces don’t! Who represents me? The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are under constant assault by the current congressional leadership. Some may suggest that many in our current government do not give a wit about the rights and protections afforded to the American people by our founding documents. This great Republic was founded on the principle of the consent of the governed. Millions of us did not give our consent for the events of the last few months, yet the left, the swamp, the Deep State, and Big Tech increase in power and are often pure evil. Where is the 25th Amendment? Who protects our borders against criminals and illegals? Who in the Senate or House majority believes in the Bill of Rights as written? Current legislation goes unchecked by any freedom-loving entity or individuals. Will the speaker or majority leader round up anyone who disagrees with the party line and put us all in camps (or worse)? (Who would have ever thought that our Capitol would be surrounded by armed troops?) What’s more distasteful is that, once elected, congressional members most likely have a job for life with a platinum retirement plan (voted in and approved by future congressional retirees!). The job in Congress, as envisioned by the Founders, was never meant to be permanent or long-term. This nation cannot survive this current administration. From 2016 to 2020, POTUS 45 worked to ensure that all Americans were safe, secure, and able to enjoy the American dream. Biden’s faux call for national unity quickly reversed all the gains realized during President Trump’s term. All these changes have occurred in less than two months, mostly with the stroke of a pen. Søren Kierkegaard famously said: “Once you label me, you negate me.” The current congressional power brokers, and their willing allies in the media, have done their best to label and negate all who do not support Biden! Now I fear for my very life and liberty from the party currently in power, not only for myself but also for my family. Who stands for me and my family? Elections are rigged, the government is corrupt, and the courts and judges are dishonest and are rubber stamps for the powerful. With the nation’s capital currently under martial law, who stands for the 75 million Americans who supported POTUS 45 in 2020? It appears that the only option left for us is prayer and faith. Let’s hope that the Almighty is listening! May God bless the United States of America and all who love freedom and liberty.

Freedom From Religion Foundation, an anti-Catholic organization, is not happy with the recent Vatican statement against gay unions and gay marriage. Interestingly, it blames left-wing Catholics, saying that it was the “continuing support of the Church by more progressive Catholics that makes possible these pernicious and demeaning pronouncements.” Looks like the atheists at the Catholic-bashing entity spoke too soon. Today, a day after it posted its remarks, left-wing Catholics at the National Catholic Reporter attacked Pope Francis. The March 19 editorial makes it clear that they have finally had it with the pope, branding him a “hypocrite.” This has been a long time coming. For several years, these renegade Catholics have hyped every welcoming move by Pope Francis to homosexuals, hoping to push him to recognize gay unions and same-sex marriage. However, the decree issued by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on this subject, done with the approval of the Holy Father, slammed the door shut when it reaffirmed the Church’s teachings on sexuality. The editors at the Reporter said that the Vatican decree gave them “whiplash.” Why were they stunned? They cited several instances of the pope uttering kind words about homosexuals, suggesting they did not know the difference between condemning a person’s sexual orientation, which is morally wrong, and condemning illicit sexual behavior, which is morally right. However, it would not be accurate to say that they really don’t know the difference. They do. They begrudgingly admitted that the pope’s outreach “did not change the church’s teaching on human sexuality.” So why the astonishment about the Vatican’s statement rejecting homosexual unions and marriage? Catholic Church dissidents never like to throw in the towel. They dream of another day when their voice will be heard. The editorial says it “will take many years” for them to get their way. Don’t bet on it. The fact is the Vatican decree was unequivocal, rendering all future changes impossible. Don’t take the Catholic League’s interpretation, read what the Vatican said. It explicitly said that “the Church does not have, and cannot have, the power to bless unions of persons of the same sex.” There is no wiggle room in that pronouncement. It’s over. Left-wing Catholics have lost on gay sex—which is their favorite issue—now and forever. Contact Heidi Schlumpf, executive editor at the Reporter: hschlumpf@ncronline.org

Milo “noted how Consecrating oneself to St. Joseph was a Way in which to Suitably Commit to a Chaste Lifestyle”
“Our Lady of America… visionary reported that St. Joseph said about himself: ‘I became, in union with my holy spouse, co-redemptor of the human race. Through compassion for the sufferings of Jesus and Mary I co-operated, as no other, in the salvation of the world.’ Of course, Joseph means this in the sense that Mary and Joseph are ‘auxiliary’ co redeemers and not equal co-redeemers with Jesus.” – Fr. Regis Scanlon
Catholic revert Milo Yiannopoulos recently said St. Joseph is his “spiritual father figure” and he “noted how consecrating oneself to St. Joseph was a way in which to suitably commit to a chaste lifestyle.”
The disciple of the Apostle John named St. Ignatius called St. Joseph “the father given to Him [Jesus]” by God the Father.
Might the “spiritual father figure” St. Joseph, who co-operated in salvation history, be called a co-redeemer?
Does St. Joseph have the same mission as Joseph of the Old Testament?
In a dream, the Old Testament Joseph was told how to save Egypt and therefore later he could bring the people of God into that country to save them from death by famine.
In a dream, St. Joseph was told how to save the people of God which consisted of Jesus and Mary by bringing them to Egypt to save them from being killed by King Herod.
What did a disciple of the Apostle John who Jesus made the son of Mary (and Joseph) on the cross say about St. Joseph?
The disciple of the Apostle John named St. Ignatius (30-107) wrote:
“Unknown to thee [Satan]… the removal into Egypt… the name [Joseph] of the father given to Him [Jesus] who did not beget.” (The Ante-Nicene Fathers, Epistle of Ignatius to the Philippians, Chap. VIII. – Continuation Ignorance of Satan, American Reprint of Edinburgh Edition)
The early Church Father St. Ignatius called St. Joseph “the father given to Him [Jesus]” by God the Father who Satan is powerless against in “remov[ing Jesus] into Egypt” to save Him from the murderous Herod.
As the Old Testament dreamer Joseph was the protector of the people of God, so is the dreamer St. Joseph now the protector of the New Testament people of God: Jesus, Mary and the Church?
And so now, as the secular and Church Herods, in this greatest Church crisis in salvation history, are trying to kill the people of God – the Church, again; might St. Joseph, the protector of the Church, also be a co-redeemer?
Here is theologian Fr. Regis Scanlon’s take on the above question:
Recently, when six U.S bishops met to consider the efficacy of devotion to Our Lady of America, they rejected the devotion — not because it contained “doctrinal error” — but because the visionary reported that St. Joseph said about himself: “I became, in union with my holy spouse, co-redemptor of the human race. Through compassion for the sufferings of Jesus and Mary I co-operated, as no other, in the salvation of the world.” Of course, Joseph means this in the sense that Mary and Joseph are “auxiliary”co redeemers and not equal co-redeemers with Jesus. Without further explanation, it appears that the bishops declared that the entire vision could not be supported for general public devotion just because the statement about St. Joseph was an “error.”
But why is the statement incorrect?
St. Joseph saved the pregnant Mother of God from being stoned by law and saved the baby Jesus from Herod’s massacre. He dedicated his entire life to taking care of Jesus and Mary. If this doesn’t reveal St. Joseph’s co-operation in the history of salvation, what does?
Beyond that, St. Joseph has the same duty as every Christian in the salvation process. Each one of us must participate in God’s redemptive plan, which, quite literally, by God’s design, makes us co redeemers.
This truth that each one of us must freely choose to be saved is contained in Sacred Scripture and the Sacred Tradition of the Church. Jesus said: “But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven” (Matt 10:33). And the Second Vatican Council says in no. 14 of the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church: “Whosoever, therefore, knowing that the Catholic Church was made necessary by Christ, would refuse to enter or to remain in it, could not be saved.” So, one has to say “yes” to Jesus in order to be saved. Without that yes Jesus cannot save us. That “yes” may be infinitesimally small compared to Jesus’ act of redemption but it is our own. It is something we freely must do. Each Christian that becomes saved, and hopefully that includes you and I, are a co-redeemer of ourselves.
So, it would be good if the 6 bishops offered a further explanation as to why the statement that St. Joseph is a co-redeemer is an “error.” It would be helpful to lay people to know exactly what is incorrect about the statement.
Personally, I believe that the 6 bishops who say that it is an “error” to refer to St. Joseph as a co-redeemer do not really object to the idea that St. Joseph cooperated in the redemption of the world. Rather, they were probably objecting to the attempt to create a special title “St. Joseph as Co-redeemer.” Nor do I believe that the visions of the Our Lady of America was expressing more than the teaching of St. John Paul II in no. 20 of “Guardian of the Redeemer” that “there can be no doubt but that Joseph approached as no other person ever could that eminent dignity whereby the Mother of God towers above all creatures.” Our Lady was saying that, after herself, no other person co-operated more than St. Joseph in the salvation of the world. [http://frregisscanlon.com/index.php/2020/06/07/what-does-it-mean-to-say-that-st-joseph-is-a-co-redeemer/]
Yiannopoulos appears to confirm that St. Joseph may be an “‘auxiliary’ co redeemer… not equal co-redeemers with Jesus” in his return to the Catholic faith:
Yiannopoulos mentioned how he was pointed to the {St. Joseph] devotion by a friend: “there are these moments where everything just seems to hang together so perfectly and to align so beautifully.”
He noted how consecrating oneself to St. Joseph was a way in which to suitably commit to a chaste lifestyle, focussed on combatting “gender identity madness.” As such, “as an entry point into this way of living, St. Joseph was kind of the perfect point of commonality with all of the things that have preoccupied me professionally and spiritually, as the patriarch, as the spiritual father, as the head of the holy family.”
Nor is Yiannopoulus alone in his decision. He mentioned how the devotion to St. Joseph is often recommended by pious people, for any man who is a “philanderer…or have some sort of runaway sexual appetite as a man,” in order that one might “come to Christ through St. Joseph because of his perfect representation of virtuous masculinity, and of the heroic manly virtues.”
[… ]
“That’s what I’ve always aspired to be professionally, to the disaffected young men that I’ve always been speaking to through my journalism,” he said, adding, “whether I’m talking about men who give up on women and disappear into porn or video games, or whether it’s Gamergate.”
Yiannopoulos indicated that this devotion to St. Joseph was also a timely and important one for the modern age, since “there’s this huge religious revival among young conservatives at the moment, who unfortunately are looking at the Catholic Church and seeing a sick, corrupted, degenerate institution, and saying ‘nope,’ and instead looking East and getting drawn into Eastern Orthodox Church.”
– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.” (The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
– LifeSiteNews, “Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial weight behind communion for adulterers,” December 4, 2017:
The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”
– On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”
– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.

The problem with the American Populist movement is that it was centralized.
Centralized movements give the enemy a central attack vector to target and overcome. One man, who took on the weight of the world, became the sole focus of both the enemy and of the American Populist movement itself for over five years.
The oligarchs removed that one man from the entire internet, then they removed him from office. Everyone knows this, we all watched it happen. What no one has clearly defined is where American Populism goes from here.
The oligarchs believe that they have destroyed American Populism by rigging an election, removing the movement’s leader from public view, and by forcing everyone to stay locked inside for a year while the country burns down around us all.
They think they have won and want to define “New Normal” under their rule as they consolidate power. What they don’t realize is that they have recruited tens of millions of Americans to the side of reason, light, and Truth. Many millions of these people didn’t even vote for Donald Trump, but they recognize what is happening to our country and want to stop it.
Over the course of the past year I’ve seen comments across the internet become increasingly “red pilled” and aware of the Big Lies being pushed by the corporate media and frauds in government. It turns out that keeping people locked inside on the internet for an entire year ends up illuminating a lot of minds.
The People are learning what the real problem is: the globalist oligarchs. Not any one politician. Not this political party or that one. The entire system is corrupt. Banks, tech companies, media companies, schools, government, and on and on.
We must exit this broken and failing system and start building a new one immediately. We are not revolutionaries. We are not violent. We are reformers. We are builders. When we up and leave the existing system in favor of our own the existing system will crumble without us lifting a finger.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”― Buckminster Fuller
The way around centralized problems in the movement is to decentralize American Populism at the local level. In order to take our country back and move forward with the American Populist movement we must first take our local communities back. Here are several examples of this happening across the country:
Pull your positions out of their useless stock market and buy bitcoin, gold, silver, food stores, and ammo. Bitcoin is free speech money. Learn what it is and how to use it. Now.
National elections are a big distraction. Members of Congress are bought and sold like cattle by the oligarchs, foreign nations, and whoever has the money. Instead center your focus on getting American Populists and Christian men and women elected mayor, to state legislatures, as judges, on school boards, etc.
Cut the cable cord. That includes both Fox and CNN. Do not watch it. Do something else with your time and money. Support alternative media outlets and individuals. Get that garbage marxist indoctrination content machine our of your home and away from your family.
If your church has gone “woke,” leave. We have room for only one Gospel in Christian churches and that’s the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Not the imitation false gospel of “social justice.”
Leave Big Banks for local community banks.
Start supporting small local shops.
Create pro-family, pro-business, and pro-law and order policies for your local area. We can’t control DC, but we can control what happens in our backyards.
Pull your kids out of public schools where their minds are being molded at the altar of marxism. Do everything and anything you can to homeschool or attend Christian private schools or online schooling programs.
Pay attention to the brands you buy and support. Check out their websites and marketing. If they are “woke,” stop giving them your money. Period.
The trasnhumanist nihilists and their technocracy are offering nothing of spiritual value. The Gospel Message of Jesus Christ, and that of American Populism, is one of redemption, hope, love, dominion, sovereignty, freedom and forgiveness. None of these things are possible with critical theory or woke consumer crony capitalism paired with a corporate techno tyranny.
What are you waiting for?
Let’s get to work, we have a new economy to build.
