It is normal and humanly understandable that more than a decade of open persecution of Catholics by the one who presented himself as their Pope would lead many of us to desire a truce, hoping that Our Lord would give His Church - if not a new Pius X - at least another Benedict XVI.

But this legitimate desire - certainly animated by good feelings and love for the Church - cannot transform itself into a virtual reality in which, even against all evidence, everything must necessarily be read as a confirmation of what we would like, and not of what is really happening. We cannot build for ourselves a "virtual church" with a "virtual papacy" that we love and serve in a consoling but unreal fiction.

The confirmation of a notorious heretic to the Cathedra of Saint Gallen in Switzerland; the appointment of a nun as Secretary of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, in line with the appointment of a Prefectess by Bergoglio; the repeated references to the heretical documents of his predecessor and to Vatican II; the declarations on ecumenism and synodality, and finally the acceptance of climate fraud; all place Robert Francis Prevost in evident and disturbing continuity with his predecessor, and it will certainly not be the stole and mozzetta that will change reality.

May looking at reality with supernatural eyes help us to recognize the deceptions of the Evil One and push us, today more than ever, to place all our hope in Christ the King and Pontiff, so that He may help and protect His Church. May He who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life be our guide in a rebellious world doomed to perdition, lies, and death.

***I have been waiting for His Excellency to respond with his wisdom...and I will always agree with him.

IMHO Pope Leo XIV is way better than Francis, BUT I believe he is going to be tested. It's only a matter of time 'till they get to him and try to compromise the things that he does stand up for.

After the very short conclave, the Deep Church believed they got someone like Francis that they could slowly manipulate to continue to push through their agenda.

At the same time, let's just call them "The White Hats", did their part to get someone that, even though he appears to be left leaning at times, has the genuine beliefs necessary to stand up to the infiltrators.

A visionary had a dream. She saw grey smoke encircling the Pope and placing a hand on his shoulder. That may be symbolic of the "test" that's coming.

Will Pope Leo XIV uphold the Apostolic Deposit of Faith and the 2000 year old Doctrines and Teachings of the Church.. or will he give in to THOSE whose last attempt will be to destroy it from within.

Come Holy Spirit!

The 100 years is up...and a lot of the Deep State, and most of the Deep Church are STILL there.
