Boys in the Basilica II: This Time It’s Pontifical

By: - September 8, 2018

I was going to write this follow-up to the original piece several days after it was first posted. But then, starting with the Viganò letter, things developed so quickly that every time I started the thing a new story popped up that rendered obsolete what I had started. Though as a Roman Catholic, I’m used to obsolescence.

But, for the past several days the situation has stabilized so I think it’s safe to venture once again into these waters. I left the last article, before Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò sent his letter, with a call to clean out the Church from top to bottom of the various pervs, miscreants, and spin doctors who inhabit its ranks and have brought it into the opprobrium it currently deserves.

Viganò hit two days after “Basilica I” published. With his missive we’ve witnessed the spectacle of a respected Archbishop who was near the top of the Vatican convincingly charge that the pope and those around him have covered up, and indeed promoted, men like Theodore Edgar McCarrick, who has been repeatedly charged with molestation and cover-ups himself. We’ve seen the Vatican try to jaw their way out of it lamely by first attacking Viganò. When that dog didn’t hunt they stonewalled. When that didn’t work they now literally, almost unbelievably, call for “silence” on the matter. Of course, that gives us more time to obsess on Bolshevik economics and watermelon communism (green on the outside, red on the inside), the Jesuit pontiff’s favorite hobbies.

Their pathetic public relations campaign was aided by compromised clerics like Tobin of Newark, Cupich of Chicago, and Wuerl of DC, all who have their own issues in this regard. These disgraced Ponces of the Church are playing cover-your-ass so blatantly that it would take a crowbar to separate them from the pope’s nether regions. Other, better, high clerics like Chaput of Philadelphia recognize the rot at the core and welcome an investigation and fumigation. Welcome move, Padre, as the news out of the PA investigations isn’t exactly great for the Church. The pope-sidelined, but excellent, Cardinal Burke is leading a quest for the truth. Sidelined because previously, he got too close to the truth.

It’s at the point that credible people are wondering if the Roman Catholic Church could be subject to a RICO prosecution. And rumors, some silly, some believable, abound. Amongst them that this pink cabal’s nefarious doings go all the way back to Vatican II, the death of JPI, the resignation of Benedict XVI, the Vatican Bank scandal, influence of Freemasons into the upper echelons of the Church, the coming of Book of Revelations prophecies, and over the last week, McCarrick being given succor from criminal prosecution in the Vatican itself, etc.

One thing that isn’t just rumor is the relatively recent arrest of a Holy See official, ensconced in an apartment in the Vatican, who was engaged there in a drug-fueled gay sex romp. The said apartment? Granted to him, personal courtesy of Francis.

So the Church for over twenty years has been ensnared in a hideous scandal. Many priests have either engaged in or aided and abetted in the abuse of children, parishioners, seminarians, etc. The faithful have either left or are leaving. The moral credibility of the Church is in tatters. The American, Australian, and Chilean churches in disgusting disrepute. The response from Vatican insiders? Hey Bergoglio, can you get us a pad for a bit of Peruvian marching powder and an orgy?

Was is to be done?

Well, the Church doesn’t exactly have a system of checks and balances. The Curia can’t meet in extraordinary session and impeach and convict a pope. In times past you just poisoned them. But that is considered passé. Courageous Church leaders are starting to speak up, like Father Daniel Nolan of the FSSP Our Lady of Mount Carmel in suburban Denver, CO, (hear his homily on this) and other priests worldwide. But if Rome continues to stonewall there is not officially much they can do.

However, there is one remedy open: mortal sin. That is, a Strike of the Faithful.

I propose that right after All Saints Day, on Sunday, November 4, 2018, no Roman Catholic attend mass. Furthermore, for two weeks prior, no Roman Catholic give any financial donation to the Church. Mass attendance can resume the following Sunday. The boycott of the collection plate remains until the resignation of pope, more anti-pope, Francis.

Is it a mortal sin in the Catholic Church to miss mass? Yes. But where is the greater sin? The desecration of the Church and the victimization of countless innocents or one Sunday absence and a hit to Church coffers? Any problem with that the Vatican can sell some artwork, as one of those tomb sculptures, floor to ceiling tapestries, or renaissance paintings would no doubt fetch an attractive shekel on the open market.

There is a petition to remove Cardinal Wuerl of Washington, D.C., already online. As of the end of last month it had over 80,000 signatures. This is a righteous campaign as Wuerl has been one of the worst of the Corrupt Collection of Cardinals. He deserves that fate and worse. Perhaps a similar petition drive could be launched to call for the ouster of Francis.

For this situation has come about because of the tolerance and support of perversion and criminality in the leadership of the Roman Catholic Church and, very sadly, not just during this papacy. But here we are and these current churchmen are responsible today. They have proved incapable of reform from within.

The heart and soul of the Church, the loyal Catholics of the parishes, need to rise up and say to the Vatican and Francis what Oliver Cromwell said to The Long Parliament, “You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately. Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, Go!”
