How Do We Respond to the Diabolical Disorientation That Defines the State of the Union and the State of the Synodal Church?

Everything in Biden’s America is inverted: lies are considered truths, and truths are considered lies; evil is treated as virtue; virtue is treated as evil. And our representatives are too compromised or corrupt to do anything about it.

 

“Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge. There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.” (Psalm 90:9-10)

Although it is virtually certain that Biden could not begin to grasp the significance of the words he angrily barked during his State of the Union Address, it is striking to consider how he developed one of the main themes of his speech:

  • “Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault at home as they are today. What makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack at — both at home and overseas at the very same time.”
  • “As I’ve done ever since being elected to office, I ask all of you, without regard to party, to join together and defend democracy. Remember your oath of office to defend against all threats foreign and domestic.”

If we follow the logic of the handlers who wrote his speech, democracy is attacked in the United States as it has never been since the Civil War. That attack is obviously from Trump and his supporters. And Congress has a duty to defend America against these people (“domestic threats”) who want to re-elect Trump. Thus, according to those who told Biden what to say, it is the duty of Congress — and really all Americans — to defend America against another Trump presidency just as they would defend the country against an enemy invasion.

History also saw Biden making sure his supporters knew that a vote for him would be a vote for more abortion and more transgender initiatives. Click to Tweet

Although Biden was silent on the actual invasion of illegal immigrants taking place on the southern border, his handlers had him talk about our duty to continue increasing the nation’s unprecedented debt to boost the likelihood of World War III:

“I say this to Congress: We have to stand up to Putin. Send me a bipartisan national security bill. History is literally watching. History is watching.”

In addition to history seeing Biden (a) label Trump and his supporters as the greatest threats to democracy since the Civil War, and (b) insist that Congress needs to send more money to provoke Putin into expanding the war beyond Ukraine, history also saw Biden making sure his supporters knew that a vote for him would be a vote for more abortion and more transgender initiatives:

  • “If you — if you, the American people, send me a Congress that supports the right to choose, I promise you I will restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again.”
  • “And my message to transgender Americans: I have your back.”

All of this is not merely insane, it is diabolical. Everything in Biden’s America is inverted: lies are considered truths, and truths are considered lies; evil is treated as virtue; virtue is treated as evil. And our representatives are too compromised or corrupt to do anything about it.

Some Catholics justifiably feel additional outrage because Biden calls himself Catholic and can receive Communion from clerics who know his position on abortion. Tragically, though, almost all the bishops who would take a stand against Biden have themselves supported something infinitely more egregious taking place in the Catholic Church under Francis.

For over two years, Catholics have witnessed Francis attempt to create a different church — the  diabolically anti-Catholic “Synodal Church” — through the Synod on Synodality which officially began in October 2021. A few years before the Synod even began, though, the International Theological Commission’s study entitled “Synodality in the Life and Mission of the Church” hinted that Francis intended to create a Synodal Church that would be based on an inversion of the true Catholic Church:

Taking up the ecclesiological perspective of Vatican II, Pope Francis sketches the image of a synodal Church as ‘an inverted pyramid’ which comprises the People of God and the College of Bishops, one of whose members, the Successor of Peter, has a specific ministry of unity. Here the summit is below the base. ‘Synodality, as a constitutive element of the Church, offers us the most appropriate interpretative framework for understanding the hierarchical ministry itself . . .  Jesus founded the Church by setting at her head the College of Apostles, in which the Apostle Peter is the 'rock' (cf. Matthew 16,18), the one who must ‘confirm’ his brethren in the faith (cf. Luke 22,32). But in this Church, as in an inverted pyramid, the top is located below the base. Consequently, those who exercise authority are called ‘ministers,’ because, in the original meaning of the word, they are the least of all”

Most of us missed these words when the International Theological Commission published its report in 2018, but we have all witnessed the diabolical inversion taking place since Francis opened his Synod by quoting Yves Congar’s words about creating a different church:

“The Holy Spirit guides us where God wants us to be, not to where our own ideas and personal tastes would lead us. Father Congar, of blessed memory, once said: ‘There is no need to create another Church, but to create a different Church’ (True and False Reform in the Church).  That is the challenge. For a ‘different Church,’ a Church open to the newness that God wants to suggest, let us with greater fervour and frequency invoke the Holy Spirit and humbly listen to him, journeying together as he, the source of communion and mission, desires: with docility and courage.”

Congar “of blessed memory” was a heretic, and those who have read Yves Chiron’s Paul VI: The Divided Pope may recall the reference to the book Francis cited:

“Incontestably Msgr Montini [later, Paul VI] was increasingly out of step with the Vatican. Two other facts make this clear. A few months after Humani Generis, Fr Congar published a work, True and False Reform in the Church, in which he claimed that as the ‘perfect hierarchical society’ the Church has an obligation to be more ‘pastoral,’ less separated from the world. To do so, a ‘reform’ of her spirit, her action, and certain of her institutions was needed. In February 1952, the Congregation of the Holy Office took various measures against the author and his book. True and False Reform in the Church was in the process of being translated into different languages; a new French edition was planned. All that was forbidden. Fr Congar was ordered to submit all his future writings to the Master General of his order, Fr Suarez.”

As Chiron discussed, Paul VI (also a heretic, not a saint) read the banned book attentively. And now we have Francis using the banned book as a blueprint for his Synodal Church.

The diabolical nature of the Synodal Church is simply a matter of fact at this point. We can say roughly the same thing about the view of America that Biden’s handlers had him spew in the State of the Union Address: Satan has free rein over many of the most important institutions in America, including Biden’s government.

Essentially everything about the Synodal Church evinces its diabolical disorientation, but the absolute clearest sign is that the Synodal Church is open to all religious viewpoints except for actual Catholicism (which we generally call “Traditional Catholicism” today).

The diabolical nature of the Synodal Church is simply a matter of fact at this point. We can say roughly the same thing about the view of America that Biden’s handlers had him spew in the State of the Union Address: Satan has free rein over many of the most important institutions in America, including Biden’s government. What do we do about it?

We can certainly try to vote Biden out of office, but is there any real chance that the globalists would allow Trump to regain the presidency if they truly believe he would derail their wicked designs? From Biden’s State of the Union Address, we learned that his people are apparently prepared to defend the country against Trump in the same way they would defend the country against a Russian invasion, which should come as no surprise to anyone who has paid attention since Trump first won the presidency. So we can (and probably should) vote “for Trump”/“against Biden,” but our realism about the likely outcome should inspire us to look elsewhere for a real way to combat the evil around us.

Where should we look for help against the diabolically disoriented powers seeking to crush everything good and true in the world? It does not take too much imagination to envision that this question is very much at the center of the battle between Our Lord Jesus Christ and Satan: God is permitting everything to become so horrifyingly bad so that we will turn to Him; and Satan is spurring everything to become so horrifyingly bad to insult God and lead souls to hell. Each new demonstration of diabolical disorientation helps some souls turn to God; but each such indication also adds insult to God and guilt to souls who stubbornly refuse to open their eyes.

All of this should convince rational people that we must turn to God as though everything depends upon it. In so doing, we will not only honor God and save our souls, but also combat evil to the greatest extent possible. All the saints knew this but today it should be evident to all who have even the slightest spiritual awareness. Now, more than ever, we see the pure logic of following St. Paul’s guidance to the Ephesians:

“Put you on the armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the deceits of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace: In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. And take unto you the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God). By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit; and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints.” (Ephesians 6: 11-18)

Satan wants to blind us to this obvious need to enlist ourselves entirely in the service of God, or at least emasculate us to the point that we lack the courage to put it into practice. Some today have been duped into thinking that pursuing sanctity means abandoning the battlefield — but nothing could be more ridiculous now that it is so painfully obvious that the only battlefield that matters at all is spiritual. Every other fight in the world has now been subsumed into the spiritual battle, with Jesus and His followers on one side, and Satan and his filthy minions on the other.

It is a blessing to see everything become hopeless (humanly speaking) because that is what we need to awaken to the reality that we need to turn to God as saints. God is evidently permitting this not so that we will despair but so that we will make use of spiritual weapons He gives us. We ought to be angry enough at Satan and his minions to do the one thing they want us to avoid doing — we should be angry enough to finally put away childish diversions and become saints. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
