A position fraught with contradiction
Lefebvrists demand Council be “corrected,” not interpreted
"In an interview with Italian journalist Paolo Luigi Rodari, the author of the blog 'Palazzo Apostolico,' Bernard Fellay, the superior general of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X, said the schismatic movement demands not only a 'correct interpretation' of Vatican II, but that the Council documents actually be changed.' Fellay defended his fellow excommunicated bishop, Richard Williamson, identified by some in the media as leader of the 'intransigent wing' of the fraternity. Fellay said, 'Williamson and I are in agreement that it would be difficult to re-enter the Church as it currently is.'”

NOW Comments: While it is good to see the Society of St. Pius X is not close the suicide that has long been feared (that is, dissolving itself into the Novus Ordo church), the main problem with the Society continues here, and that is that the counterfeit church is being considered the Catholic Church. Mere possession of the outer structures of the Church does not constitute—and never has constituted—lawful ownership, as was very clear during the Arian occupation of the vast majority of episcopal sees in Christendom, which is why we see that great champion of orthodoxy, St. Athanasius, declaring famously to the faithful:  "It is a fact that they [the Arians] have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you." (For the full text, see the Letter of St. Athanasius to his flock) Never once did he recognize those usurpers as true Catholic bishops, but fought them tooth and nail. Unfortunately, Society views blatant heretics as Catholic leaders and negotiates with them. It doesn't see these enemies as enemies at all, but merely as confused prelates who will suddenly see the light once a few 'T's are crossed and 'I's dotted in Vatican II documents. Further exacerbating the problem is the curious expression "re-enter the Church as it currently is." What does that mean? That they are outside the Catholic Church? Again, you would never, ever have see St. Athanasius making such a statement, for he clearly saw that the counterfeit church of the Arians was just a sham and nothing with which he would involve himself. So while the danger of the Society dissolution may not be proximate, so long as such a confused stance is held the danger is still present.

(What was he doing watching such a movie in the first place?) And it's the same man who in February of this year said he was “very happy” about a compromise in which ostensibly Catholic adoption workers would be able to refer homosexual "couples" to adopt children.  And make no mistake, his "gay"-friendly position was so obvious that no sooner was his appointment announced, then it was roundly (and correctly) cheered by perverts as a victory for their side.

Vatican publishes pricey book defending Knights Templar
"It's not the Holy Grail, but for fans of The Da Vinci Code and its tantalizing story line about the Knights Templar, it could be the next best thing.

"Ignored for centuries, documents about the heresy trial of the ancient Christian order discovered in the Vatican's secret archives are being published in a limited edition — with an $8,377 price tag.

"They include a 14th-century parchment showing that Pope Clement V initially absolved the Templar leaders of heresy, though he did find them guilty of immorality and planned to reform the order, according to the Vatican archives Web site. But pressured by King Philip IV of France, Clement later reversed his decision and suppressed the order in 1312.

"Only 799 copies of the 300-page volume, Processus Contra Templarios,— Latin for 'Trial against the Templars' — are for sale, said Scrinium publishing house, which prints documents from the Vatican's secret archives. Each will cost $8,377, the publisher said Friday."

NOW Comments: What is stated here and in related articles does not clearly vindicate the case for the Templars, as is suggested above. While Clement V is said to have dismissed the charges of heresy (of course, lack of evidence or reasonable doubt do not necessarily prove innocence, but mean that guilt could not be solidly established); he did, however, find the order's leaders guilty of other grave crimes. The Templars' trial conducted by the pontiff was only one such judicial inquiry into the group's activities and Barbara Frele, in a 2004 Journal of Medieval History article which, like the upcoming book, concerns the Chinon document, contradicting herself, conceded there that may have been merit in heresy charges (some quite revolting), after all. She is, though, quick to excuse them in a novel way that Catholics will find appalling, but which will be no doubt an appealing alibi to many in the Novus Ordo church:

The charges of heresy included spitting, trampling, or urinating on the cross; while naked, being kissed obscenely by the receptor on the lips, navel, and base of the spine; heresy and worship of idols; institutionalized homosexuality; and also accusations of contempt of the Holy Mass and denial of the sacraments. Barbara Frale has suggested that these acts were intended to simulate the kind of humiliation and torture that a Crusader might be subjected to if captured by the Saracens. According to this line of reasoning, they were taught how to commit apostasy with the mind only and not with the heart. (emphasis in original; See "Charges of Heresy" section, History of the Knights Templar)

Niederauer gives communion to 'queer nuns'
"Archbishop George Niederauer gave Holy Communion to two men dressed in drag as nuns during an Oct. 7 visit to Most Holy Redeemer parish in San Francisco, witnesses who attended the Mass told California Catholic Daily..…The men dressed in drag as nuns were apparently members of a group that calls itself the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, who say they are “the leading-edge order of queer nuns,” and whose official slogan is 'go forth and sin some more.'"

NOW Comments: This abomination took place on the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary, which adds another dimension to the scandal: Niederauer in a very specific way insults our Lady on her feastday when he gave communion to men mocking nuns, as every woman religious truly worthy of the title Sister lives a live that is an imitation of Mary. Niederauer knows that MHR Church has long been a hotbed of pervert activity and, just over a week before this latest scandal, its social hall was the venue for the "SF Desperate Divas 2008 Drag Grand Calendar Pageant." One blogger declared: "If Rome does not remove him immediately from his position and excommunicate him for this evil, then Rome itself becomes complicit in the crime."

Pelosi criticized for dismissing blasphemous ad

We decided that there is no good to be had from exposing people to such depravity, when the potential harm for souls is so high. Miller Brewing, a sponsor of the event, has become the target of a boycott headed by the Catholic League, whose president, William Donahue, writes: "If Miller wants to be so bold as to throw Catholics and Protestants overboard for the sake of siding with the most morally depraved persons in our society—persons with whom no self-respecting heterosexual or homosexual would ever associate—then it must suffer the consequences." We carry this quote because it shows how totally off the mark people in the Novus Ordo often can be, even when supporting a good cause. Why would a Catholic use a phrase like "self-respecting heterosexual or homosexual," as though normal and abnormal, natural and unnatural, activities can ever be equated. "Self-respecting" is bad enough by itself; what ever happened to God-fearing? And you can't have a God-fearing homosexual, but only a God-fearing ex-homosexual.

Well, it's kind of simple: Joseph Ratzinger appointed George Niederauer, who was in seminary with Roger Mahony and Tod Brown and William Levada, each of whom remains in power courtesy of, you got it, Joseph Ratzinger.

Police investigate bizarre call from 'bishop'
Gallup police reported a bizarre set of circumstances following a recent emergency call to the home of Roman Catholic Bishop Donald Pelotte. An incident report from the McKinley Metropolitan Dispatch Authority reported that Pelotte told operators '...gentle little people, about 3 to 4 feet tall, and wearing Halloween masks' were in the hall. The dispatch log reported that Pelotte said he hid in a closet while the people were in his home."

NOW Comments: Pelotte's sad case is curious, to say the least. Some have suggested that a head injury he sustained earlier in the year may be causing hallucinations and possibly an early onset of Alzheimer's for the 62-year-old "bishop." The earlier incident was strange, too; when police found him he looked to have been beaten (one report told of "blood on the floor and wall and he was badly bruised"), but when questioned by police, Pelotte insisted that the had fallen down the stairs. But the latest is still more peculiar, with Pelotte hiding in a closet to get away from "gentle little people" in Halloween masks who wouldn't leave his home when asked. There is a particular classification of demon that fits such a description rather closely: imp. The third definition of the word from the on-line Webster's Dictionary reads:

Imp A young or inferior devil; a little, malignant spirit; a puny demon; a contemptible evil worker.  (Think cherub gone bad. -NOW)

Illustration: Sorcerer uses magic spell to summon an imp

Of course, gentle or less threatening are surely only relative terms if what is being discussed is a demonic manifestation. Certainly the term gentle is belied by Pelotte behavior, if he tried to avoid them by hiding in a closet. Perhaps they weren't overtly threatening, but their was something about the way they looked and/or behaved that convinced him that he wanted nothing to do with them, something that convinced him to call 9-1-1. The sad thing for Pelotte is that if this is an early stage of possession, then the church of which he is a leader has no adequate remedy to combat it, for even the former chief exorcist in Rome considers the Novus Ordo rite "unusable" against demons, calling its declarations "the fruit of "ignorance and inexperience." [A concession by an official in Modernist Rome does allow the true ritual to be used, provided authorization is granted to the would-be exorcist by the local "bishop." We use the qualifying term "would-be" simply because there is the issue of whether these men are validly ordained or not; if they are not valid priests, they cannot be exorcists in the true sense of the word. In that case, we hope for Pelotte's sake that he is merely seeing things that aren't really there and not things that are visiting him from a malignant dimension.
