Until the advent of materialism and 19th c. dogma, Western Civilisation was superior to anything Islam had developed. Islam has not aided in the development of the modern world; in fact civilisation has only been created in spite of Islam. Proof of this resides in the 'modern' world and the unending political-economic and spiritual poverty of Muslim states and regions. Squatting on richer civilisations is not 'progress'. Islam is pagan, totalitarian, and irrational.
Two great schisms occurred in Christian history. In the modern era we are witnessing a third and probably final and fatal schism. The First schism occurred in 1054 between the Western and Greek Eastern churches. The differences between Roman and Western European culture and liturgical rites, idols and art, and of Greek and Eastern language and ecumenical emphasis, made a division ineluctable. Add in the sordid nature of politics, the dynamics of dynasties and territorial control, and the endless conflicts which dominate the Middle Ages, and the original schism can be viewed as inevitable. The second Christian civil war and separation was the Protesting ‘Reformation’ leading to Lutheranism and State-controlled churches. Thought protests and outrage at the abuse of the Catholic Church and its accretion of wealth and power was necessary, very little in the way of reforming or reformation can be seen from this event. It did benefit the State and its cabalistic interests, however which was the main purpose.
The third great schism is occurring in the modern age. After 10 years of the worst Pope in a very long time, the interests and sects which preach the secularisation and ‘globalisation’ of the Church have hollowed out the core of Catholic history and dogma. Pope Francis and his coup of 2013, erected by a small group of ‘St. Gallen mafia’, initiated the evisceration of traditional Catholic teachings and history. The purpose is to align the Church to secular interests in all areas of culture, finance, and technocratic globalism. Perversely, this very same objective will be the end of the Church itself. The disaster that is the Papacy of Bergoglio heralds the collapse of the Catholic Church and this is simply a matter of time. The Church, a 2000 year old institution steeped in history, miracles, revelations and innovation has made itself irrelevant. It is probably fair to say that many if not most of its operatives, clergy, Bishops, Cardinals and apparatchiks, including the Pope, are not really Catholic. They are politicians and of a very crude and low quality.
For the past 10 years, under Bergoglio, the imposed and false Pope, a great revolution and schism has developed in the Catholic Church. It is in essence the infiltration of the Church in Rome, by operatives who ultimately work for “the prince of this world” (John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11), namely the Devil and are evil in their influence and objectives. ‘The prince of this world’ works through the faux-Pope Bergoglio, who is implementing the wishes of the Second Vatican Council of 1962-65 which sought the collapse of traditional Catholicism. This disastrous council ushered in Masonic influence within the Catholic Church, mirroring the Masonic penetration in most Western governments, in particular the ‘criminal’ US Federal government. The philosophies of Bergoglio and Vatican II are represented by ‘nominalism’ (nothing is real), ‘progressivism’ (science as religion), and ‘relativism’ (everything is equal), and have been employed as weapons to undermine fidelity to Catholic history and tradition.
Bergoglio and his cabal do not promulgate Catholic doctrine. They are on the record for stating that Catholics and Christians should not evangelise their faith. They believe in the power of secular government and authority to be far greater than the Church. ‘Relativism’ imbues the Church’s position on Muhammadanism, open borders, other faiths and even paganism. Under Bergoglio the Catholic Church is just one faith or belief system of many, and probably not even the best, truest or most important. Traditional mass is now outlawed, and some of the most traditional Catholic and holy of groups are openly persecuted by the Vatican and Bergoglio including the Franciscans of the Immaculate, the Heralds of the Gospel, the Little Sisters of Mary Mother of the Redeemer. Other traditional Catholic groups are declared to be ‘terrorist’ groups. It all fits the pattern for both Church and State. From Vatican II and Bergoglio Catholic doctrine is demoted and ridiculed and its place the new religious doctrines are elevated, including inter-alia:
This third and final schism, on-going since 1965, is an act of self-immolation, implemented by the ‘Deep Church’ in alliance with ‘Deep State’ actors, and those pushing a ‘New World Order’. All of the above theologies from the globalists and deep state. The core of Church-rot lies within the once-vaunted, now emasculated and corrupt order of Jesuits. Bergoglio is first a Jesuit and then a Catholic. It used to be Catholic law that it was forbidden for a Jesuit to ascend the ranks of the Hierarchy. For some reason, in Bergoglio’s case, this precedent was ignored when he became a consecrated Archbishop of Buenos Aires. This was a papal dispensation given rather ironically and surprisingly by Pope Benedict, often portrayed as the anti-thesis of Bergoglio. If that dispensation had not been granted and instead the Rule of St. Ignatius had been respected, Bergoglio would never have become Pope. It is evident that the Jesuits have played a prominent role not only in carrying out the conciliar revolution, but also in manoeuvring to bring one of their own to the Throne of Peter. It is also obvious that the rot in the Jesuit order and the Vatican long pre-dates 1965 and that for whatever reason, Pope Benedict wittingly, or unwittingly, played a decisive role in bringing the disaster called Bergoglio to the papacy.
The ‘Bergoglian’ revolution is the extension of Vatican II. Since 1965, the Church no longer views itself as unique or inspired by divine guidance. It roundly rejects most of its history, especially those pertaining to the mystics, the saints, the physical and well recorded and observed miracles, the apparitions, bleeding statues, stigmata, blood giving eucharists, the Shroud of Turin which cannot be explained even by the most mendacious of Church-haters. The entire corpus of the immaterial and spiritual, so significant and real for Catholics over 1900 years, consigned to the superstition, illiteracy, gullibility and fanaticism of primitive people – the same ones who built civilisation including modern science, mathematics, medicine and technology.
It is hard to know if priests, bishops, cardinals, the Vatican, the hierarchy of the Church and Bergoglio actually believe in God or Christ. Perhaps real faith hides within the governance structure. The Catholic Church is a top-down dictatorial model of governance. There is no room for individuality. No church in the Catholic world preaches Catholic history, miracles, the saints, or Hell. Some of the gospel readings do include miracles created by Christ but are usually glossed over as the sermon rushes on to the ‘urgent’ issue of ‘the climate hell’. Not a mention of Christian Hell in any church. No historical anecdotes, analogies, personality expositions, or references to the great achievements of the Catholic Church. Nothing.
The only refrains uttered in the Catholic Church is that ordained by its top-down directorate and the themes are globalist-Marxist, suffused with ‘relativism’, earnest applause and concern for not just Muhammadans but non-believers, Gaia and the deep-state demands of compliance and conformity. Anyone who is ‘good’ goes to heaven states Bergoglio, no need for that tiresome investment of energy and intellect to understand the Catholic catechism and the old and new testaments. Christ was Lord says the Church, but let’s be quiet about it quickly adds. It might sound ‘unscientific’ to be too bold about the claim. Some sermons cautiously mention that imitating Christ and ‘loving thy neighbour’ no matter what, would be a good path forward. But the sermon will reiterate that the relationship of ‘love thy neighbour’ is entirely uni-directional. There is no need for anyone to love you the Catholic and when you are hated, you should accept it and know your place. Turn your cheek and don’t fight back, accept your inferiority, and ‘bear your cross’. You are of no importance and your creed is at best a nice superstition. These are vapid and degraded inversions of the real gospel and point of Christianity. Such a doctrine of passive supine ignorance would have landed a medieval priest a meeting with a rope and a stake.
What is the logical outcome of Vatican II and the Bergoglio-coup? Empty churches, empty offertories, empty seminaries, empty religious orders and empty-headed clergy.
The Corona scamdemic was in my opinion, the death knell for the Catholic Church. It could have stood up to the globalist-secular state and defended freedom. It could have invoked its muscular 2000-year history of civilisation and protecting natural law rights. From Don Pelayo to Copernicus, from Leo III to John Paul II, the Church could have rallied civilisation and those with critical thinking skills, even those non-Catholics who could view the Fascism for what it was, against the demonic evil of the scamdemic. The dead from lockdowns, the stabs, the policies, may have been prevented. Instead the Church acquiesced and ignored its historic role as the guardian of civilisation and freedom, not to mention critical thinking and faith. It was simply an accessory to fascism and murder. The Church abdicated its power and authority to the ‘deep state’ and its globalist cabal. More than likely, money was involved as a reason for the abdication. Priests or any Catholic who spoke out were attacked, marginalised and shuttered – by the Church.
It is clear that the Catholic Church is rending itself into pieces. Traditional Catholics are attacked, some are declared to be terrorists. They won’t participate in the Bergoglian heresy. Globalist ideology, open borders, relativism, neo-Malthusianism, the New World Order, and the Religion of Humanity, all conspire to destroy the Church from within. When the Christian Church sounds like the BBC, or a UN manifesto, it patently serves no real purpose.

In G.K Chesterton’s biography of St. Thomas Aquinas, which I have just re-read, the claim is made that no philosophical system since the sixteenth century comports itself with what the ordinary person would call ‘common sense’. This is entirely true. Grossly inferior ‘Philosophers’ such as Hobbes, Kant, Hegel, Hume and the ‘moderns’ all premise their ‘scepticism’ on the belief that nothing real exists. They entirely suspend and ignore the reality of the world of the 5 senses. In this vein an egg is not an egg but a chicken, a cat is simply an abstract naming convention for an animal which may or may not exist, and there is no essence to an object and its very being is subject to denial. The cant of Kant et al is infinite in its sophistry and anti-reality. The greatest philosopher in history, greater even than Aristotle, was of course St. Thomas Aquinas, and as Chesterton relates, his vast genius is built upon the solid foundation of reality, logic and common sense. Not so the modern world.
Without the Catholic faith and religion there is no modern world. It is quite as simple as that. The heights of cultural and societal achievement was only conquered by Catholicism. Everything else is either an imitation, forgery, fraud or if positive, built entirely on the edifice of medieval energy and insight. The Catholic faith leads one initially to the truth of God and creation, a God who should be and who is beyond our crude and rough comprehension, limited as we are in both reason and understanding. Alongside God, the Catholic faith requires a belief and affirmation about human reason and the essence of Being. The Catholics preserved the knowledge of classical systems during the Germanic migrations and takeover of the Roman-Greek empire in the West during the 5th and 6th centuries. It was the faith which inspired Charlemagne to create a recrudescence across all of society and dream of a new and much improved Athens. This is the faith that generated modern science, astronomy, mathematics, schooling, universities and sundry inventions from eye-glasses to agriculture and armaments and everything else that built the basis for modernity.
The most remarkable feature ascertained by Chesterton and embedded in the Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas, is the obvious miracle where Christian revelation manifests an inherent superiority in the natural plane of existence, without neutering, or obstructing reason, and in fact, demands the union of faith and reason. In sum we can say that without faith there is precious little reason, but plenty of obscurantism, paganism, violence and oppression. Without reason, there is no faith, but blind obedience, dogma and ritual. When the two are married as in Catholicism, we have the capability to create, build, discover, invent and know. Our faith is the worthy counsellor, the guard-rail, the brake, the common-sense of our reason.
In the ‘modern’ world, poorly described as such, with its pagan attributes, atavistic impulses, its sacrifices of unborn children, its medical Nazism and disregard for natural immunity, natural law rights and natural freedoms, its drunken screeching about the benefices of totalitarian governance and the usurpation of national cultures; we see the 2000 year old, carefully constructed and beautifully made edifice of Western Civilisation under siege from within and without. Mechanical ‘science’, Benthamite libertinism, the crass and shallow individualism carried to extremes expressed in the ‘rights of men’, the post-modern relativism in which nothing matters or is even really known, are false, repressive, inane idols of pagan practices, hardly more developed in their barren theology than the worship of Baal the storm, fertility or moon God. The modern world denies reality, chromosomes, genders, natural climate processes and objective truth and reality.
What makes the onslaught worse, is that the modern Catholic Church, with a globalist-Pope and corrupt-craven Vatican, is part of the problem. The Church is unwilling to defend itself against the pagan-secularist invasion of our civilisation, it chooses instead to aid its own destruction. Orthodox Catholicism is being expunged at an alarming rate and the infantilisation and Anglicanisation of the Church is being implemented with due haste. The radical negativity of the Church towards its own history and doctrines is barely matched by the secular hatred of the same. The irrational dogmas of the ‘modern age’ divorce faith and reason and indeed, obliterate reason altogether. Freedom of speech, thought, activity and natural law rights to bodily and national autonomy are now the enemies of the globalist-Church hierarchy and its Pope. Pope Leo XIII taught that all laws are divinely premised, as manifested in canon law which connects reason with divine commands and obligations. The current Catholic Church does not believe this, ascribing all power to the secular state, and rejecting the independence and importance of the Catholic faith in people’s lives. If the government says ingest poisons, imprison yourself, stop going to church, and live in fear, the Catholic Church poses no opposition or even mild criticism.
Most recent ‘scholarship’ is restating the obvious that the Catholic Church was the one indispensable organisation in the creation of the modern world. Ironically, this very institution which bequeathed so much, does not believe it contributed anything and demands its faithful to obey the Church of State.
Rome fell in 476 AD due to a combination of economic; political; military and social factors but predominant amongst these was the decline in intelligence and in standards. Political intelligence in ancient Rome fell and collapsed into arbitrary, authoritarian rule, where the political elite could not competently manage the military and social resources of the vast empire. Security was lax and along many of the borderlands of the Roman empire, non-existent. Political leadership was cowardly with long lines of incompetent leaders rendered incapable of implementing needed political and military reform to protect Roman civilization. Social intelligence declined as well. Though Christianity was strong in parts of the empire, and comprised about 50% of the popoulation by 450 A.D., the low pagan standards, the lack of morality and a decline of rationality was a harbinger of political and military decline. The two fed each other. The lack of civic intelligence was directly reflected in the mismanagement of the empire by imbecilic political leaders. The lack of leadership and reform, and the low levels of all standards of conduct, thinking, and morality led to the debauchery of the public intellect. Thus did Rome fall. It was as Gibbon said, ‘not worth defending’. Now the question is – is our own civilization worth defending?
Western civilization has been under attack from globalists, socialists, Marxists and the welfare state for 60 years or 2 generations. It takes only one generation to destroy an ideal and eradicate the vestiges of civilization. We are thus pretty far advanced in the dismemberment of internal standards that guarantee progress and civilization. The all-powerful-state model has led ineluctably to lowering of all standards in public and private life. This is not to glorify repressive Puritanism; abstract fundamentalist Christianity or god forbid, the superstitious and silly paganisms of Native Indians or Muslims. However the all-powerful-state is just as much of a danger to our society and civilization as pagan Hitlerism, godless Communism or cultist Islam.
The state-as-God-complex, epitomizes the internal decline and much like Roman self-immolation it rots the body politic from within, spreading like a cancer until the host gives up and submits to external challengers. In the modern world the most excitable fascism which waits like a jackal for its Western prey to fall to the ground is the evil paganism that informs the fascistic elements of Islam. Islam has its red eye focused on Europe – the ancient cradle of Western civilsation – but the hyena will not be satiated with the creation of only EurArabia. It desires the elimination of all forms of Western civilization. The all-powerful-state is unwittingly aiding Islam in this goal by destroying through the guises of a Corona or Climate fascism, the very foundations of once Christian Western heterodoxy and civilisation.
How does the all-powerful-state, or the state-as-God and the attendant left-liberal orthodoxy aid the enemy of culture and civilized progress?
The omnipotent-omnivorous-state destroys the following important ‘pillars’ of societal development and civilisational creation: individualism; morality; spirituality; capital formation and innovation; high culture; and rationality including the force of reason. Europe is the classic case example of the state’s inimical effect upon the body politic. The state-as-God ideal is based on four faulty premises all of which lead to instability, self-hatred, lethargy and confused morality:
1. Western civilization is loathsome and evil.
2. Only a technocratic elite can safely mange the progress of society to ensure fairness and equality.
3. Spirituality leads to conflict and is unnecessary.
4. There are no standards of right and wrong, good and bad, high and low culture. All is good, all is relative, all is golden.
These premises which govern the welfare state are idiotic. Western civilization and the medeival ideals of our forbears along with Judeo-Christian ethics are the core organizing principles of our civilization and indeed of any civilization worth calling itself one. The institution of the Church has nothing to do with the basic ideals of Christian ethics nor does it negate the spiritual, intellectual and economic advancements given to mankind by the medieval and early modern ears, which were the greatest set of innovations in the history of human development.
The omnipotent-state promulgates that the Catholic Church for instance or the other worldliness of some parts of Christian doctrine, mean that the ethos, the principles and the preachings of Christianity are somehow unworthy. This is dangerous and anti-rational. Christianity is many things but neither Christ nor his main followers wanted a clerical elite [witness the attack by Christ against the moneychangers at the temple who used profits to enrich the clerical elite]; instead they focused on freedom; the eradication of slavery; empowerment of women; and mercy for the poor and sick. Importantly Christianity and Western ethics revolve around rational individuality and the methods to succeed in life and as well as coming to a personal understanding with God and your own existence. Dangerously the state-as-God replaces a spiritual essence, which all humans need to survive, with a belief in a technocratic, all-knowing elite, who 'own the science'. Personal salvation and the individual understanding of spirituality is thus replaced by government dictats. This inevitably leads to lower standards.
When a society has no spiritual faith or higher belief it disintegrates into mysticism or apathy. Thus our Western civ is now a godless hypocritical, and cowardly collection of self-loathers, which allows Islam and pagan cults offering up sacrifices to viruses or climate, step by step to build their mosques and temples over our Churches and freedoms. Unsure of itself and feeling unworthy in the face of those who seem so confident, the West submits, funding mosques which now are the most prominent features of many large European cities including Rome, encouraging Islamic immigration, and funding Koranic schools which teach hysterical anti-Western propaganda. Debasing our energy system with non-Gaia friendly and useless turbines and solar panels, ensuring penury and scarcity. Implementing gender fascism enforced by a useless police corps. The Western self hatred is evident in its submission to Islam and these cults of irrational stupidity through ‘hate laws’ governing all speech that could be ‘hurtful’ to the wonderful paganism of Islam [anti-Jew or anti-Christian hate speech is of course to be applauded and protected], or the various pets of climate and gender fascisms. The state-as-God demands the unfettered arrival of endless Islamic immigrants, as well as funding polygamy and ‘fetching marriages’ to 2nd cousins from the home country. Opposing such policies makes you a racist, fascist and criminal.
Submission to Islam, the Climate cult and the gender fascists, follows a general pattern of decline in Western society as it builds an anti-Christian, anti-rational world. Unfettered Muslim and African invasions, Corona and Climate Change are the hallmarks of this pagan immorality. Clean burning carbon, gas and coal are toxic. Work is eschewed. Profits forsworn. Innovations deemed unimportant. Productivity is not a concern. Welfare, vacation time, and redistribution are the vital keys to living. The rhetoric, the multi-cult technocratic model, and the replacement of high culture with low standards are exalted in an orgy of anti-Westen and anti-Caucasion racism and slander. Genders don't exist. Intelligence and reason are replaced by a mystic belief in the all-powerful state and an acceptance of the crude fascism exemplified by Islam or the Corona-Climate Fascisms.
Rome conquered Europe and fell in a self-flagellation of loathing, low standards and non-existent morality. Freedom has responsibility. Part of freedom is based upon high standards, rationality and knowing right from wrong; good from bad; and having the will to defend the fruits of millennia of labor and experimentation. The 'West' has failed and is now engaged in a civil war of destruction. History repeats and bites.
