A Most Revealing Photograph

A Most Revealing Photograph

by Christopher A. Ferrara
November 1, 2017

One of the tritest of trite expressions is that a picture is worth a thousand words.  And yet it is true, especially if one studies the picture in all its implications.

Consider, for example, this most revealing photograph:

The photo was taken at the very moment Rosary-praying Catholics were about to be forcibly removed by police from the cathedral in Brussels during an insane “ecumenical service” to “celebrate” the Protestant Revolt, aka the “Reformation.”  Arms linked, they were praying the Rosary in reparation for the sacrilege taking placing before them.

Study the picture. Notice that the two rows of Catholics reciting the Rosary are composed entirely of young people. Now look behind them to the rows of people attending the “celebration” of the “Reformation” without protest.  Notice that they are late-middle-aged or older, most with gray hair.

Look next at the young woman in the foreground: shamelessly attired in a tight mini-skirt and black leggings, she can be seen in the video here extracting what appears to be a program for the scandalous event from the hands of one of the youths praying the Rosary before they are removed, one by one, from the premises.

This one photograph tells the whole story of the state of the Church today: a decadent and dying “mainstream” given over to ecumenical madness, literally attempting to commit suicide, while young people courageously invoke the intercession of the Blessed Virgin and are arrested for praying the signature Catholic prayer on consecrated Catholic ground.  And the only sign of youth affiliated with the dying establishment is a shamelessly attired woman who violates every standard of modesty as she assists in an unholy ceremony in what is supposed to be a holy place.

The next sham Synod, on “Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment,” is supposed to be all about “listening to the young.”  It is a very safe bet that there will be no listening to the young who are flocking to the traditional Latin Mass all over the world, who have had enough of the failed, trendy Catholicism of the past fifty years, and who represent the real future of the Church, which awaits the day of her restoration.   Indeed, Francis has repeatedly denounced these faithful young Catholics for their “rigidity,” even suggesting that they are “sick.”

Instead, we can be certain that the youth of miniskirts, selfies with the Pope, and “irregular relationships” will receive an attentive hearing, as if to ensure the continued decadence of a decadent establishment.  The effort will fail, just as the entire disastrous experiment with novelty has failed.  But the dictatorial regime of novelty in the post-conciliar Church aims to impose its will until the bitter end, as if determined to provoke the wrath of God.

Marco Tosatti has published a letter from a major figure in the Church, known only as “Big Shot,” in which we read:

“Dear Tosatti, you won’t believe it, but I am beginning to really be afraid. I have begun to pray once again the prayer of exorcism to St. Michael the Archangel written by Pope Leo XIII (recited at the end of Holy Mass until 1964 when it was unexplainably ‘deleted’). I ask myself if I will have the strength to take action without any assistance from my Holy Roman Catholic Apostolic Church, sensing rather that it sets itself daily more and more against the Gospels and the Truth that it taught me. The Cardinals and Bishops who still believe in the Truth of Christ had better do something quickly! I fear we are in the End Times, dear Tosatti. I am a “Big Shot” but terrified…”

The final consummation of the Message of Fatima cannot be long in coming, as the prophecy of the Third Secret, concerning sin within the Church, unfolds in what Pope Benedict XVI called “a really terrifying way” — three years before he abruptly and mysteriously abandoned his papacy.

You keep accusing me of losing my temper, but you were the one bringing up Nazis and the one who quit the thread because you couldn’t handle lil ole me.

Projection much?

Can’t handle you?

That’s a laugh.

It was you who jumped onto this thread and cross-referenced to a different thread.

I'm doing all I can as a faithful Catholic laymen. If you don't like it, that's your problem.

So pious laymen are powerless against the princes of the church? Great system. Convenient excuse for inaction as well.

But I do see a connection, after all, he's one of yours and you like to defend him.

Sorry, that punchbowl denizen is all yours. Lock stock and communistic globalistic one world religion clown.

I note you didn’t challenge my accusations about Catholic sins. You never do.

Are you conceding the point?

It was you who first brought up Nazis on this thread.

HA. YOU brought up Mein Kampf. Post 83.

YOU played the Nazi card. You made the Hitler comparison. Not me.

I just mocked you for it.

Think what you wish. I also brought up the Koran in that same post.

How about Mao's Little Red Book? Have read all of the above?

So you admit that I’m right. YOU brought up Nazis; YOU played the Hitler card.

YOU told a blatant falsehood when you accused me. I think that there’s a Commandment about that somewhere, isn’t there?

See what I mean about doing your research? You just threw an angry post out there alleging something completely (and provably) false, and EVERYONE can see how foolish you look now.

I have accused you of nothing.

I’ve never seen such an irrational temper as yours.

“I have accused you of nothing.”

***

Well, let’s see post 107 by you, shall we?

I quote, you to me: “It was you who first brought up Nazis on this thread.”

That, my friend, is an accusation against me. A false accusation. So either your memory is so bad that you can’t remember what you yourself posted just a few posts up, OR you’re bearing (painfully obvious) false witness.

If it’s the latter, you better get to a confessional; I believe that’s a mortal sin. If you have a heart attack and die from how angrily you’re pounding the keyboard because of how much you hate me, that should send you right to Hell if I recall my Catholic theology.

Are you another ex-Catholic? That could explain your temper tantrums.

No, I just know Catholic theology. Because I do my research.

So I take it that you’re admitting that you wrote (easily disprovable) falsehoods about me?

Well, you know about it as much as Bergoglio does.

I'm not impressed.

The posted article was about faithful Catholics being faithful Catholics in their Catholic cathedral during a blasphemous event.

So far, you have made over 17 posts condemning their practicing of their own True Faith faith in their own True Church.

Let’s see.

Post 107. Right, the accusation that I brought up Nazis on the thread when you were the one who did. And post 110 where you claimed that you never accused me when you did just three posts ago.

Yeah, those are both provably false on this very thread and you told them. Therefore, you wrote falsehoods about me. And about your own behavior too.

Are you going to apologize or just try to change the subject again?
