Judgement on the Deceitful

Date: November 5, 2024Author: Editor

The 2024 American Presidential Elections will contain a lesson for those who know how to read the signs of the times. May God bless the good people and guide them to make the best decision. One way or another we can learn from the experience. An age old drama is unfolding before us. Let us give thanks to God. In His wisdom, He has allowed us to be witnesses of His justice for this generation.

Why do you boast, O mighty one,
of mischief done against the godly?
All day long you are plotting destruction.

Your tongue is like a sharp razor,
you worker of treachery.
You love evil more than good,
and lying more than speaking the truth.
You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.

But God will break you down for ever;
he will snatch and tear you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.

The righteous will see, and fear,
and will laugh at the evildoer, saying,
‘See the one who would not take
refuge in God,
but trusted in abundant riches,
and sought refuge in wealth!’

But I am like a green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
for ever and ever.

I will thank you for ever,
because of what you have done.
In the presence of the faithful
I will proclaim Your Name, for it is good.

[Psalm 52, Judgement on the Deceitful. To the leader. A Maskil of David, when Doeg the Edomite came to Saul and said to him, ‘David has come to the house of Ahimelech.’]

"Perhaps I am asking impossibilities. Perhaps, in the nature of things, analytical understanding must always be a basilisk which kills what it sees and only sees by killing. But if the scientists themselves cannot arrest this process before it reaches the common Reason and kills that too, then someone else must arrest it."
C. S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man, 1945."

“The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide.”
T. S. Eliot, Thoughts After Lambeth, 1931."

“The error of the Progressives resides in rejecting the necessity of working for the implantation of a Christian social order. In doing so they are obliged to accept the lay city, Liberal, Socialist, Communist. The root of their error and their deviation from Christian progress lies in seeking the alliance of the Church with modernity.”"
Fr. Julio Meinvielle (1905-1973) From the Kabala to Progressivism."

“[The devil] will set up a Counter-church, which will be the ape of the Church. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content…. The False Prophet will have a religion without a cross. A religion without a world to come. A religion to destroy religions. There will be a counterfeit Church. Christ’s Church will be one, and the False Prophet will create the other. The false Church will be worldly, ecumenical, and global. It will be a loose federation of churches and religions, forming some type of global association, a world parliament of Churches. It will be emptied of all divine content; it will be the mystical body of the Antichrist. The Mystical Body on earth today will have its Judas Iscariot, and he will be the False Prophet. Satan will recruit him from our bishops.”
Archbishop Fulton J Sheen, Communism and the Conscience of the West 1948.
