Barring unforeseen circumstances, this will be the last Vigano meltdown summary post for the time being. It is simply becoming too difficult to keep up with the fallout from the Vigano drama at such a detailed level to justify the effort. It is taking away much-needed time and resources from other projects and delaying more important endeavors. Major developments in the ongoing Vigano drama will be covered in separate blog posts, as we would cover any other major story.

HAT-TIP to Novus Ordo Watch for scooping all this together. Reveals compelling picture of bad fruit.

So where is the good tree if not Rome? With all this one can take refuge in parishes who refuse today's Rome while adhering to the teachings of the Popes and the entire body of the Church prior to the "Second Vatican Council". We are apparently in the days of the great apostacy which has been fortold in Holy Scripture. The faithful ought to, as in highly persecuted countries in the past, such as Japan and Henry III's England, take serious measures to remain faithful to the Church and to Jesus Christ.

Days of great suffering lie ahead. Walk with Jesus in the Blessed Virgin Mary.

>PAPAL BULL HORRENDUM ILLUD SCELUS< ( “ That Horrendous Crime ” ) BY POPE ST. PIUS V

Pope St. Pius V

“Having determined to do away with everything that may in some way offend the Divine Majesty, we resolve to punish, above all and without indulgence, those things which, by the authority of the Sacred Scriptures or by most grievous examples, are more repugnant to God than any others and raise His wrath: that is, negligence in divine worship, ruinous simony, the crime of blasphemy, and the execrable libidinous vice against nature. For such faults peoples and nations are scourged by God Who, according to His just condemnation, sends catastrophes, wars, famine, and pestilence ...

“Let the judges know that if, even after this our Constitution, they are negligent in punishing these crimes, they will not only be guilty of them in the divine judgment but also will incur our indignation ...

If someone commits that nefarious crime against nature that caused divine wrath to be unleashed against the children of iniquity, he will be given over to the secular arm for punishment [of death]; and if he is a cleric, he will be subject to the same punishment after having been stripped of all his degrees [of ecclesiastical dignity].”
