We live in a time of deception: Lies, illusions, absurdities abound. We live in a world in which a girl can be a Boy Scout, a man can be Woman of the Year, a white person can be black, and someone can (supposedly) be head of the Catholic religion who is not even a member of it.
In this insane world, we found earlier this year that a woman who had herself surgically altered to look like a man is living as a ‘Catholic’ religious brother (hermit) in the diocese of Lexington, Kentucky. This has been going on with the full knowledge and approval of the false shepherd there, the notorious ‘Bishop’ John Stowe, O.F.M. Conv., a Francis appointee who is perhaps the wokest of all American Novus Ordo bishops:
The pseudo-hermit in question is Nicole Matson. After her ‘gender transition’ many years ago, she lived under the name Cole Matson, and ever since joining religious life, she has been using the name Brother Christian. But it is a lie! There is no ‘Brother’ Christian; there is a Miss Nicole or perhaps a Sister Christina at best.
Such are the cold, hard facts, which do not lie, do not hate, and do not care how anyone feels. A person can change his name and even his physical appearance; his identity, however, remains.
In any case, Matson is once again in the news, and this time because she attended a ‘papal’ Wednesday audience on Oct. 23, 2024, together with a number of other ‘transgender’ characters:

The author of this article, Life Site‘s senior Vatican correspondent Michael Haynes, reports:
Despite creating an international furor and raising profound canonical questions over her claims of being “transgender,” a woman who currently lives as a male hermit was recently received by Pope Francis as an honored guest at the Vatican.
At the conclusion of the weekly general audience, October 23, Pope Francis made his customary way around the attendees. The Pontiff first greeted the cardinals or bishops present before then greeting those seated closest to him, including the new married couples and those deemed to be special guests for each particular audience.

Indeed, Matson was not simply an ordinary attendee of the ‘papal’ audience, in the way anyone can attend it and for free. No, Matson was seated in the VIP section of the audience, a privileged area very close to the ‘Pope’ not just anyone gets to occupy. After an audience, the people sitting there are greeted by Francis himself in the so-called baciamano ritual.
In the video of the Oct. 23 general audience aired by Vatican News, beginning around the 53:00 min mark, Matson can be seen sitting in that privileged section:

How ironic that Bergoglio’s catechesis of that day was on the role of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Matrimony, a sacrament which very much depends on the proper distinction of the sexes.
In any case, the question now presents itself just how Nicole Matson got such a coveted spot near the ‘Pope’, with the privilege of a personal encounter. Haynes explains:
Among those guests were a group of self-professed “transgender” individuals, who were present in Rome courtesy of Father James Martin SJ’s pro-LGBT Outreach group. Outreach had held a closed-door event on the sidelines of the Synod on Synodality some days before, which was closely followed by a private papal audience for “transgender” individuals and others organized by New Ways Ministry.
Maxwell Kuzma, a woman who presents herself as a “transgender man,” provided an account of the October 23 meeting with Francis – an encounter that was orchestrated by local priest Father Andrea Conocchia, who has a longstanding arrangement in bringing gender-confused individuals to meet Francis.
(Haynes, “Pope Francis welcomes transgender activist”, Life Site, Nov. 12, 2024)
Turning to the account published by Kuzma, we find much information, including the following:
After the general audience concluded, Francis moved to his wheelchair and began to greet the crowd. When he entered our row, Scotty introduced himself and Christian asked for a blessing, which the pope gave. George had a copy of the book Trans Life and the Catholic Church Today, which he gave to the pope, who received it and said, “Thank you, God bless you,” in English.
When Francis came to me, I grasped his hand and said in Spanish, “Soy un hombre transgénero” (“I am a transgender man”), adding that I, like himself, was a friend of Jesuit Fr. James Martin. Francis beamed.
(Maxwell Kuzma, “Meeting the pope as my true self: A transgender man’s encounter with Pope Francis”, National Catholic Reporter, Oct. 26, 2024; italics added.)
No doubt Bergoglio beamed, because while he uses strong rhetoric against transgenderism, these are mere words expressing ideas. For the fake pope, ‘reality’ is more important than words or ideas — except the reality of biological sex, it seems — and so, if he deems it necessary, Francis has no problem bringing about revolutionary change through the back door, so to speak. His modus operandi is: First change how people behave, what people do, what they accept; and then what people actually believe will change on its own.
That is what Bergoglio means when he proclaims that “realities are greater than ideas” (Evangelii Gaudium, n. 231). In Bergoglio’s system, the ‘lived experience of man’ is a data source for Sacred Theology, and since life is always in flux, doctrine must constantly change with it. That’s what the synodal ‘walking together’ is all about.
Before we conclude, a few more words about Miss Matson and gender dysphoria.
It took us hours of research, but back in May we were able to find Nicole Matson’s high school graduation picture, published on June 13, 2002 in the Daily Press of Virginia. It testifies to the beautiful truth of who Matson really is:
Article from 13 Jun 2002, Thu Daily Press (Newport News, Virginia) Cole matson, Nicole matson
Ultimately, all this comes down to basic biology: Matson has XX chromosomes, and therefore she is female, a woman. How she feels about that does not change the reality of it. She can have surgery to change her external appearance, but the biological sex is determined by the DNA, and chromosomes don’t lie: She is and remains a female because that is how God made her, and that is good.
It is necessary that we speak the truth about this boldly, and that we do so now. Otherwise, our decadent post-Christian society will institutionalize the ‘transgender’ insanity and ‘legally’ force people to lie. It will be George Orwell’s 1984 in real life.
Our Blessed Lord said to Pilate: “For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice” (Jn 18:13). Shall we who are His followers, and who are members of His Church, which is “the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Tim 3:15), now give testimony to lies? Never! If the powers that be should succeed in making us deny the most basic, empirically verifiable biological facts in favor of a fantasy, what will they not be able to make us do?
Of course it cannot and need not be denied that some people sincerely struggle psychologically with how God made them. That is not something to be scoffed at or dismissed as inconsequential. It is real, it is tragic, and it is to be taken seriously. People who suffer in that regard should be offered help, compassion, and support that does not seek to affirm them in their illusions but in the reality of who they truly are. They should be affirmed in how God truly made them. The solution to their difficulties will be found in healing their troubled psyche — certainly not in modifying their body, lying to themselves and others about who they are, or engaging in make-believe and demanding everyone else play along and lie so that their feelings aren’t hurt.
Thus, the battle lines are clearly drawn: There is the ‘hateful’ side of Truth and the ‘nice’ side of lies.
We know on which side Francis is, and on which one we must be.
