An Apocalyptic Pandemic

From the Pastor:   An Apocalyptic Pandemic

      I hope you can handle one more article about the sorry state of affairs in the Church hierarchy today. I promise you that I will not be continuing down this road as it really takes a toll on both the author and his readers to constantly be bringing to the surface the rotting bottom layer of garbage in the compost heap, even though we all know that this arduous task is necessary to produce the fertilizer which the crops need if they are to bear good fruit. So if you can stand the smell today, I promise that next week I will propose a solution to the mess we are in. But first I think it is important to understand how we ever got to the point where so many priests and bishops are either oblivious to, accepting of, promoting, or living the AH/HA life.
   Going back to the beginning of the “College of Cardinals” or “Conference of Bishops” in the Church, we note well that there was one immoral, non-believing traitor among the twelve Apostles, namely, Judas Iscariot. He is the only one specifically accused by Our Lord of not believing in the Eucharist (Jn 6:65,71-72) and it was at the Last Supper that, committing the mortal sin of receiving “the bread dipped” without “discerning the body”, satan entered into him (Jn 13:26-27 and I Cor. 11:29). Because Judas then despaired and killed himself he did not “reproduce”, that is, he did not live to ordain any like-minded unfaithful priests or bishops. Instead, Peter, in the midst of the holy brethren, explained the scriptures being fulfilled as they chose a worthy successor to take the place of the traitor (Acts 1:15-26). But in future times up until today occasionally Judases have been found among the Successors to the Apostles and now they sometimes reproduce, making unholy clones of themselves. Let me explain.
      In this diocese, and I assume there is something similar in most dioceses of the USA, about every five years or so the bishop sends a form to every priest asking who among their fellow priests they believe is cut out to be a bishop and why they believe that. Holiness, capability, friendliness, education, hygiene, etc., should all be weighed properly. Supposedly the bishop then reads with great care the results and, when the Papal Nuncio sends him a similar form, he has on hand a ready response and sends in the names of his very best priests. Then, when an opening arises due to a bishop dying or being transferred or whatnot, the Nuncio has at his disposal a list of the best priests of every diocese and he presents to the Pope a short list of three exceptional priests who seem best qualified for the particular diocese needing to be filled. Then the Pope prayerfully chooses one and, voila, the best priests become bishops. Unless...
      What happens if there is an AH/HA bishop, nuncio or Pope (or any combination thereof)? An AH/HA will never endorse someone who is not either AH/HA or extremely timid. Period. He can never promote someone who will fight against his personally chosen sin of damnation (though, not believing in sin or damnation he would never use such words). So if a “good” priest writes down any names, the form goes in the trash, perhaps after calling to the bishop’s attention a priest or two whom he needs to squash or continue to terrorize. He will only send to the Nuncio AH/HA priests. If the Nuncio is AH/HA he likewise screens out the priests suggested by “good” bishops. Finally, if the Pope would be AH/HA, you can guess what type of priests he would insist on ordaining as bishops and which bishops he would make Cardinals so as to solidify his power and stack the deck for the next AH/HA conclave. This reproduction process starts slowly but builds steam with every new appointment every step of the way. The more AH/HA’s involved, the faster the transformation of the diocese, the Bishops’ Conference, and the worldwide Church.
      I assume you all have seen pandemic and apocalyptic movies where a highly contagious disease is at first undetected or ignored until all of a sudden it becomes known and feared by everyone when it starts infecting huge numbers of people. Scientists race to control it knowing that if they cannot find a cure or at least isolate it, a time will soon come when it is so widespread and has caused so much death and destruction that it will become impossible to eradicate or even partially control. I believe we are seeing the second round of panic in this AH/HA contagion among Church clergy. The first time, the scientists (bishops) put on a public display of cleaning it up by getting rid of any really bad priests who were reported to be infected. And thanks be to God they did! Unfortunately, they were even willing to accept collateral damage and destroy some innocent priests, too, as part of their panicked reaction. They helped bring about a general calm as concrete results brought relief but they never revealed the essential information that they had “carriers” among themselves. With new allegations worldwide about favored bishops being diseased and others knowing and covering for them, we now get to the part of the movie that keeps us on the edge of our seat. Will the evil scientists be outed? Will the contagion be controlled? Or is it too late?


With prayers for your holiness,
Rev. Fr. Edwin Palka

Reverend Father,

How do you avoid retribution for the things you write here? I am not a Catholic, but am similarly outraged and terrified at like-minded (AH/HA) people in the secular world who would use our online information against us; to keep us silent and in line. I am eagerly waiting for your solution to this scourge in the Church and its potential application in the World.

Blessings,

Jim K.

Jim,
I am really a wimp. I trusted my bishop and it paid off. Retribution from others is sure to come but it is what it is. When you are ready to become Catholic, let me know and I'll help you get through the retribution you will face for that decision, too!

Thank you again , Rev.Fr.Palka , for bringing this topic to focus again and

thanks be too , to the good efforts of many others as well as being reported in columns ,
it it has been like watching 'labor pains' , awaiting the birth of good , in the gifts of The Spirit , in the wisdom and courage that many like you would bring into this , thus to be a source of consolation and hope , to enrich the lives of many holy priests and bishops that are around , as you too mention .

Looking forward to the promised suggestions and meanwhile , hoping that this comments format would allow others too , to feel included , thus adding to the unity like that in a family -
of course prioritizing primarily the role of prayer and holiness for us laity .

God allowing situations to bring forth good - hope that the whole cleansing healing process would bring forth the remedy for the wider world itself so that persons do not become like worms ,where the fire of lust ever burns , instead able to rise up to the true dignity and identity as those destined for glory and goodness in The Lord and His Spirit , in holiness , with its related gifts of joy and peace .

Hoping too that , the Acts of Apostles format of discerning the holiness of the priests would be used well, in choosing Bishops as well , esp. in these times when such gifts of The Spirit seem to be prevalent at various levels , in many holy priests as well as the laity .
Parishes that offer Adoration, the priests joining in on a regular basis , confession hours that are more fitting to the needs - once of twice a week, may be before the Holy Mass , offering choice of absolution in the Old Missal format , wherein when the priests bless the penitent as to how the evils endured would count for more graces , the priests , in turn to be blessed more as well , to thus be stronger to withstand the temptations of worldliness - hope some of these can be easily seen measures /fruits of criteria of commitment and love .

The freedom to face East , atleast partly through the Liturgy may be a good form of penance , to counter any bit of a spirit of excess control - if such is what we have .

? Declaring a Feast in honor of The Father , even if the laborious process of having to approve the related apparition is omitted for now - like our Lord says , that mustard seed of faith in who The Father is , thus to truly know who we are too .

Seems the Holy Father has seemed leniant about this issue , as the Father of the prodigal, with the hope that encouraging more into a closer relationship with our Lord would be the remedy ;
seems he too sees that If the prodigal is reverting to old ways , trying to run out the rest of the household etc that too has to be dealt with .

His devotion to Mary , a blessing indeed too .

Our Lady of Fatima being sent to our midst ..and even though the Consecration has been done, the negligence in the rest of the requests from The Church at large - laity too very much in debt in this area .
( As an aside , for those who say all the evils are from Russia being not mentioned by name, in the Consecration , if the Holy Father said that even in a whisper , would that have been enough for heaven ! )

' Unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground ..' - would it be that The Spirit moving The Church to more deeply embrace all of humanity in oneness , such as through Vat .11 has also allowed it to feel the rottenness of same more as well ..yet , seems thank God that we are at a time when the excesses from same are being recognized and remedied and may the harvest too be more abundant for same .

In similar manner, the Consecration too being for Russia
too to be carried in The Heart , the same Russia that Bl.Mother had warned would spread her errors .

The evils we are facing in The Church now , already prevalent in Russia at the time and The Church - her falls of late, may be an indication that more of the Fatima message can be brought to good use , esp. by the laity too , and esp. in the area of purity and holiness in marriages too .

A world that is getting more connected , humanity now can see that we are not more than a grain of sand in the vastness of the universe , yet , in Heart of our Mother , that grain , may be as painful as a sword, yet building up large pearly gates .

May the efforts of all , in the love of our Mother , desiring with her that that none be lost from entering those gates - may same be well rewarded by our merciful Father .

Thank You and God bless .

Thank you, Fr. Palka for your righteous, courageous and necessary explanation of this Satanic homosexual problem which has infested the Catholic church. It seems to me that the Latin Mass priests are always the best ones. You are in our prayers. God bless you,.

Our Lady of La Salette, Our Lady of Pontmain, St. Michael, Pope St. Pius V, pray for us.

8/15/2018 03:37:57 pm

Martin,
God help us if I am one of the best! I say that without false humility, too. But I have truly been blessed to celebrate the TLM. It has, no doubt, made me a better priest.

Thank you Father.

Prayer to God to save the Church by Sanctifying His priests who have fallen away

O God, our Lord, we obey without delay to Thy gracious invitation to pray. Encouraged by Thy desire, we worship at your sacred feet, crying out to Thee for our guilty priests. Deign to be reminded, Lord, that Thy priestly Body is Thy crown of predilection, the splendor of Thy glory, the chosen part of Thy heritage.

We implore Thee to arm Thyself with holy indignation against Satan, who dared to plant the banner of sin in Thy own sanctuary, and to chase him away in shame from Thy solemnly dedicated domain.

What would it cost Thee, O Lord, to turn the most hardened hearts into penitents? Only one simple glance at Peter was enough to retrieve him from the abyss of a three times apostasy; would it cost Thee more to touch and convert those who have had the misfortune to imitate his weakness?

O Jesus, our King and Pontiff, we beseech Thee on behalf of Mary, Thy Mother and ours, save the Church, save Thy faithful, save Thy blessed honor, by saving priests! Amen.

Here we are on another 13th of the month , with its special reminder to the Book of Esther that was to signify the role of Bl,Mother , her apparitions that were mostly on the 13th , in Fatima ( except this month -when the kids were jailed and could not be there .)

Today 's readings from book of Ezekiel as well as the gospel - seems well connected too , to our times .

The description of 'one like man' - all in fiery light , in glory ,
a rainbow around ..and Gospels narrate how the temple authorities see our Lord as just another man , not filled with awe and gratitude that He is in their midst , but as one who owes temple taxes .

He who is truth itself , shows Peter , how as the Lord of the universe , He even see that fish , with the coin in its mouth ;
it might even have been the same coin that His parents gave to buy the pair of birds on the occasion of the Presentation .

Would it be that we too find it hard to truly trust His divinity , see Him more in the human nature alone and such an error - could it even be the error that leads to many others , esp. since such an error then can bring confusions in own identity , from the whole Bride - Bridegroom relationship, esp. in men ..instead of being the Father - son ( child ) relationship ..

In O.T esp when the mention is made of the Bride and Bridegroom concept , seems it is more in the vastness of the whole people / community itself with God ; in the baptismal role of us being members of such a communion of people , The Body , the reminder that it is in such a context too that the similar relationship exists - The Holy Spirit being the agent of that uniting mission .

And like the manna that satisfied every taste , the Living Bread that blesses and augments all that is good , burn out the evils and weaknesses , when received in faith , is to make good men , better men .

Once carnality enters in , such as in occasions of negligence , as in the priestly sons of Eli , easy to see how the above truth can be used by the enemy to bring more lies - even bringing fear about own masculinity , if one is seen in carnal manner , as 'bride ' , that in turn leading to other lies and lusts and its ways , through fears , envy etc , against any one that seems as a threat or target .

Have read how the once magnificent Hagia Sophia in Turkey , the pride of the church there , one reason for judgments against same might have been the icon of same name that was meant to represent our Lord , in the form of a female to equate Him with the
created wisdom .

Unsure if influences of Eastern religions such as through yoga that exorcists warn against , because of its tie ups with Hinduism is also playing a part - since same bring the lie that we are not that different from animals , in endorsement of the lie of reincarnation .

The power our Lord gives , in oneness with Him is astounding
- few words spoken , in Him, bread is transformed ..few drops of water , in baptism - the blessings of the whole Exodus event , the painful circumcision covenant all made present ..

Reading the book of visions by Bl.Emmercih, to mitigate the damage done even in seminaries where in everything was questioned and faith attacked , good to be reminded how The Lord can unveil time and reveal all when He chooses to , thus to help restore same .

That , in turn might help to deliver persons from the contempt to the holy roles , through misuse of body and relationships ....again , an astounding witness to His patience , for now , that we do not see worse effects all around
( and true , thank God for all ,including the holy priests , who in holiness also counter same .)

Thank you Rev . Fr.Palka , for being like St Athanasius may be ,
to an extent , with the help of many similar minded , desiring to bring back the truth and dignity of Fatherhood in priesthood .

Sharing above for the benefit of others in the laity who might be visiting the site, well aware that you would not need same ; hope you would kindly correct the errors in same .

Thank you again , God bless and blessed Feasts of St.Maximilan and of Our Lady of Assumption .

Thank you. I read somewhere referring to homosexuals that they replicate. I like this term better than reproduce because a homosexual man is not capable of procreating because of his disordered desire to have sexual relations with a man. It makes sense to say that he replicates himself. I’ve been thinking that the homosexual priest IS the abomination of the desolation that stands in the holy place. This would explain the dying off of the church. God’s house needs to be cleansed even if that means the church is left with only a handful of true Bridegrooms desirous of giving life to the Bride.

Noreen,
Thank you for the much better word, "replicate". I have incorporated it into my writings already.

What is a trying-to-be-a-good - Catholic person supposed to do?

8/15/2018 03:45:16 pm

Pray and fast. Make Holy Hours. Daily Mass. Daily Rosary. First Fridays and First Saturdays. Go to confession frequently. Offer up all aches and pains and sufferings. Wear your Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, your miraculous medal and your St. Benedict medal. Pray the blessing before and grace after meals. Recite the Angelus. You know, just be Catholic!

Fr. Palka,

Thank you for this great series, it sheds incredible light on the reasons for this terrible scourge that is affecting the Catholic Church. Having read up on the grand jury findngs in Pennsylvania, I find myself heartbroken for the victims, enraged at the perpetrators and enablers, and hopeless for the Church in the West. I’m sure I’m not alone. What advice do you have for people like me who cherish their Catholic faith, but simply cannot reconcile the fact that this Church has been led so far astray by some of the very people who are supposed to uphold the teachings of Christ? How can us Catholics have faith in a Church that is facing such a seemingly widespread and insidious problem? May God help you to continue your excellent work and give hope to the hopeless.

Blessings,
Chris

Chris,
Don't confuse Holy Mother Church with the Antichrists who have infected her. She, like you, is heartbroken, as is every normal person. The Antichrists have stony hearts and don't give a damn about anyone but themselves. They have always been among us, even before the Church proper existed. Every time the Chosen People went astray, always due to unfaithful religious leaders, they were sent a prophet or two. When they refused to repent, their lot got worse and worse as God said, in essence, "If you think you can be better without me, and be better off without me, go ahead and give it a shot." and then stepped back. Immorality and idolatry always led to being conquered, destroyed, exiled. The good and the bad had to suffer together. But God's wrath was always displayed in such a way as to, when the time was finally ripe for true repentance and conversion, show also His great Mercy. So don't despair. We will have to suffer until we, as a whole and especially the priests/bishops as a whole, turn back to God in sackcloth and ashes. Maybe we will see it in our lifetime, maybe not. But stay holy, persevere to the end, offer it up, and you will be saved and help save countless others as well.

Fr. Palka, THANK YOU so much for your postings. I live in the West Coast, and have been very distressed by everything that is happenning in the Church. I haven't read any explanations as clear as yours by other priests.
Over here Church authorities have been implementing "alternative" parish leadership "models" that seem to eliminate the role of Pastor priests.
Some parishes are being led by lay people (to include women) or deacons (and always listed over the parish priest in authority, and are given a principal role for homilies and communication with parishioners and direction of parish life). The parish priest is assigned to Mass and confessions, but not available for almost anything else.
I don't see how this "model" would increase vocations to the priesthood, it seems to seak the dismanteling of the priesthood.

Thank you Father for your explanations of how this abomination is replicating itself within the church. This has been an especially difficult week for the church and I pray that you, and other faithful priests like you, will be showered with the Fruits of the Spirit so that you have the perseverance and energy to minister not only to your parish but for those of us leaning on you from across the nation.

The developments on this subject are beginning to get really creepy. I must say that AH/HA bishops remind me of one really distressing Star Trek, Next Generation episode (#25) called "Conspiracy" in which Starfleet officers are being taken over by worm-like parasites that enter the body and assume control, the only sign being a small "tail" at the back of the neck. Similarly, the AH/HA bishop becomes a controlling parasite in the life of a priest, the only sign being that the priest suddenly and permanently becomes risk-averse. Creepy and sad. But the good guys won in the episode (and will win here too).
