Doomsday Scenario

September 2, 2021 Our Catholic Faith No Comments

By FR. KEVIN M. CUSICK

Is it possible that a powerful person could approach various individuals of influence or policy and say, “We’re going to deposit $500 million in your bank account. Do what we say or we’ll kill your family”? It certainly is possible, however unlikely. How else to explain the fact that currently in the COVID outbreak aftermath so many scientists are doing unscientific and even anti-scientific things? Or that so many medical personnel are perpetrating unmedical or even anti-medical practices?
What could explain the unprecedented phenomenon of so many around the world promoting a so-called medical defense replete with dangerous side effects in response to a threat which is nearly minimal by comparison? Why promote a vaccine with, in some cases, even deadly side effects in answer to a virus with a 99.999+ survival rate? How did so many people come so readily to believe and to respond so compliantly to bad advice because of misplaced fear after digesting very likely false or incomplete information?
Dr. Zelenko, Dr. Tenpenny, and others are warning us that we should be aware of the possible side effects of the gene therapies being promoted as vaccines in response to the spread of the COVID virus. It is certainly alarming to learn that even though thousands have died, and many more have suffered severe side effects, after receiving COVID mRNA injections, these are stilled promoted and in some cases are being imposed. Cardinal Cupich of Chicago announced that all priests and employees of his archdiocese must be vaccinated or face disciplinary action.
It is a violation of Church teaching to impose vaccines, and yet this is flouted with a mania redolent of a savior complex. What must be voluntary is enforced and as a result humans are treated, not with the dignity bestowed by rational intellect, conscience, and free will, but instead like cattle who must be herded and manipulated as if instrumentalized for ulterior motives.
A healthy man in his mid-fifties, whom I know well, suffered blood clots about a month after receiving the shot and is now devastated after being forced to medically retire because he also suffered loss of vision to the point he could not see well enough to drive or to read. One who very likely survived COVID is now disabled after taking what was peddled as protection against infection with COVID? This doesn’t pass the medical sanity smell test.
COVID breakthrough among the already vaccinated is also a red flag. Or should be. Why are serious adverse side effects so regularly and so widely ignored or dismissed? The case I described is just one of many that have been documented. How is it possible that a medical intervention resulting in such human devastation is perpetuated with almost religious fervor around the world, in light of the fact that the swine flu vaccine, by comparison, was terminated after resulting in just south of 40 deaths? The only answer could be that there is an agenda at work that does not involve health. And possibly its opposite. Yes: death rather than life.
We’ve all been exposed for years to the toxic influence of much talk among oligarchs and the most wealthy and powerful influencers around the world, among them vaccine promoters, about reducing the human population. We are fully entitled to draw the conclusion that there may very well be a coordinated campaign among an “elite” group of self-anointed “saviors” who are waging a campaign fueled by fervent pagan and even diabolic passion to further the agenda that global warming and other environmental concerns are the first priority and that human presence must be reduced to preserve the globe.
Significantly, the sometimes very fragile capacity for human reproduction is one of the factors under attack among the side effects of the current mRNA shot.
Perhaps all of this is true. Perhaps none of it is true. Perhaps it’s not an orchestrated campaign against humanity but rather the result of incompetence and stupidity among a careless and ignorant elite that do not deserve to lead. Whatever the source, the facts argue that we find ourselves in the midst of a very dangerous scenario in which many who claim to be Christian, including leaders and many members of the Church, are in fact card-carrying globalist heretics who have abandoned belief in God.
The physical safety part of the response is to follow your conscience and not to put anything in your body when you cannot be sure of the side effects. This is a basic rule of personal health. Vaccines, in the first place, do not guarantee you will not contract or transmit a particular virus or disease, only that the side effects will be mitigated. Know what vaccines do and do not do.
The spiritual side of this phenomenon is the larger problem. The side effect of loss of faith is an exaggerated and insane response to the threat of death. What else would explain the pandemic of irrational behavior on the part of a great portion of the population? Why are so many people allowing politicians and elected leaders with no medical expertise to dictate their life and death medical decisions? We’ve just witnessed the resignation of Gov. Maro Cuomo in New York and the revelation that his incompetence and cruelty resulted in the deaths of many more elderly than was previously disclosed, more than 15,000 per The New York Times on August 4, 2021.
Another factor here is the attack on conscience and the resulting promotion of the collective over the individual. A parallel is found in the Church with the attempt to extirpate the Mass of Ages and impose the Novus Ordo. In the Diocese of Pittsburgh it is now an offense to offer the Traditional Latin Mass privately, even behind closed doors and with no witnesses. This can only result in a whispering campaign and an epidemic of snitches reminiscent of Marxism under Stalin.
Where the rightly informed conscience is no longer sovereign and paramount the Catholic faith can no longer flourish and liberate, because freedom of conscience is the oxygen necessary that allows persons of faith to breathe freely, to grow and to receive the grace of salvation in Christ.
In the month of August we celebrate the Immaculate Heart of Mary. At Fatima she promised us that her pure and loving heart, full of grace, would ever serve as our consolation and the way that would lead us to God. She has promised that, in faithful souls who devote themselves to her Immaculate Heart, the will and plan of God will triumph.
We are in the midst of a struggle to preserve faith, and health of soul and body. Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart will teach us to put the Lord first in our intentions and affections and that all other things will follow for our benefit according to His holy will. Faith will bring holy order and justice to combat and overcome the sins of injustice and the pagan plague of our day. But we must practice our faith and celebrate the sacraments with renewed fervor and devotion under our Lady’s direction that the Lord’s Kingdom may come.
Thank you for reading and praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever:apriestlife.blogspot.com

Kamala Harris Heads to Arizona to Promote Abortions Up to Birth

Kamala Harris is visiting Arizona today to showcase the Biden-Harris Administration’s radical support of unlimited abortion. “Kamala Harris has become the abortion czar of the Biden Administration,” said Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee. “Instead of joining with the pro-life movement to build programs and safety nets to help promote real solutions for women and their preborn children, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have engaged in fearmongering and propaganda,” Tobias continue

On the last day of this month, we will witness a clash of religions as…Continue Reading

Abortion Advocates No Longer Consider It “A Necessary Evil,” They Celebrate Killing Babies

Last week, Kamala Harris became the first vice president in U.S. history to make a public visit to an abortion clinic.
