Exposition on 3/20/2022 in Charleston, SC

Unpopular message of the day: 
It is hard for man to look at himself in honesty and shatter the belief system he has been born into, in order to pursue the truth. I understand intimately how the truth can seem bitter at first, but when pursued to its apex, can also bring a great hope. Now is the time where we need to pursue this truth especially in regard to our man made political systems; namely the democratic republics and on the other end, communism. 

They are both diabolically inspired with the monarchy being the only divinely appointed order. Now I will not say that God abandons systems that are not pleasing to Him all together, He can and does work through them but ultimately we know that we are made in the image of God and the KINGDOM of heaven is in fact a Monarchy. One does not need to look too far back in history to see the divine hand in the lives of the kings and queens. Like every human endeavor there was corruption, but at least the appearance was given that the will of God was taken into consideration.

I want to consider the following private revelations for a minute:
Our Lady of the Good Event: “Thus, I make it known to you that from the end of the 19th century and from shortly after the middle of the 20th century, in what is today the Colony and will then be the Republic of Ecuador, the passions will erupt and there will be a total corruption of customs, for Satan will reign almost completely by means of the Masonic Sects. They will focus principally on the children in order to sustain this general corruption. Woe to the children of these times!

Marie Jahenny- A French church approved mystic who lived in the late 18 and early 1900's as taken from the website https://greatmonarch-angelicpontiffprophecies.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_62.html

 The evil ones will plot conspiracies against the Church to overthrow it. (August 19, 1878) + (Oct. 14, 1878)  (July 23, 1925)  A time of martyrdom is coming. (Oct. 14, 1878)

 In the 'Chamber of Hell' in Paris, the black laws will be passed- they will be of a type of refinement and unprecedented evil that will be directed against the Faith and the Church, an attempt to erase everything of God.    "They will go to the point of effacing the arts and to remake them under a hideous form, terrible and all that they prepare and approach." (Nov. 16, 1920) 

(Observations: Our Lord mentions the 'terrible laws' that will come out – this must be another warning about the evil 'Red' government that will rise up and that will suppress the Church and all her moral teachings. Our Lord also warns they will destroy the arts to achieve their purpose of effacing God and His laws from the minds and hearts of the people – and it is obvious this is not just the plastic arts, but the other humanities and liberal arts – such as theology, philosophy, history, law, etc. The evil is described as 'refined' - meaning so smooth and subtle, we will hardly notice how it is being slipped in until it is almost too late.  
In fact, we are seeing this take effect in the world right now to pave the way. Universities have become ultra left liberal breeding grounds, and many so-called Catholic universities are anything but Catholic. Theology and philosophy courses have become liberal and slanted away from anything resembling the conservative side. You can now be 'any gender you want', and we see now history is being rewritten or erased, statues are being pulled down.  If someone doesn't agree with a historical figure, they are now being 'air brushed' from history.   Socialism and even Communism are now becoming popular among the younger generation. We are told to hate Columbus for his 'tyranical destruction' of the indigenous peoples' pagan worship and to be ashamed of our Christian missionary history. Even literature departments are not spared – several years ago I browsed every major college website in the USA and the UK with an English department, and all of them either have a professor whose main subject is 'Queer theory or culture', or, their department offers courses on 'queer' culture and literature, etc. Parents who think English Lit is okay, or the arts, probably have no idea what colleges are teaching these days! If you are conservative at all now, you will hardly stand a chance at a university campus.) 

 
About modern Democracy - it is from HELL ITSELF - the 'Luciferian Regime par excellence'. (April 20, 1874)

(*) France will pay for its 200 years of democracy and its anti christian regime - having abolished the absolute Catholic monarchy of France, (i.e during the Masonically influenced French Revolution), but the monarchy will eventually be restored. (April 20, 1874) 

(INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS ABOUT TIMING: France officially ceased to be a Catholic nation and became a secular state when it abolished its absolute Catholic monarchy and adopted its first Constitution after the French Revolution in 1791 - France was declared a Republic in 1792.

Since 200 years had not passed when this prophecy was made in 1874 - the 200 years obviously refers to when France could expect the major chastisements - which means anytime from 1991-1992 onwards: the end of the 20th century and into the 21st. This fits in exactly with the chastisement timing revealed by other mystics.)

(*) Also, a cryptic prophecy that the date of the feast of the  'Queenship of Mary' would be changed to the end of the Octave of the Assumption - we are apparently to be on or guard regarding the chastisements from this time onwards when it happens.  (August 1920)


(NOTE: Again interesting timing - this Feast didn't exist when she made this cryptic prophecy in 1920 - it was instituted in 1954 and the feast day was originally on May 31.  It was changed to August 22 to the end of the Octave of the Assumption in 1969 - right when Vatican II was happening.) 

Wow! to me it sounds like the Blessed mother and holy prophets would be called conspiracy theorists today. Let us now continue on to a human source via the book "Proofs of a Conspiracy" by John Robison written in 1798, in which he outlines the beginning of the secret societies and their plans to subvert the church via a democratic society which was born the the French lodges and seen on full display in the French Revolution.

"Under the protection of masonic secrecy, they panned schemes of a different kind, and instead of more Order of Chivalry directed against the enemies of their faith, they formed associations in opposition to the ridiculous and oppressive ceremonies and superstitions of the church."

The author describes the Illuminati as follows: 
"The order was said to abjure Christianity, and refuse admission into the higher degrees to all who adhered to any of the three confessions. Sensual pleasures were restored to the rank they held in the Epicurean philosophy. Self-murder was justified on stoical principles. In the Lodges, death was declared an eternal sleep; patriotism and loyalty were called narrow-minded prejudices, and incompatible with universal benevolence; continual declamations were made on liberty and equality as the unalienable rights of man. The baneful influence of accumulated property was declared and insurmountable obstacle to the happiness of any nation who's chief laws were framed for its protection and increase....They concluded by saying that THE METHOD OF EDUCATION MADE THEM ALL SPIES ON EACH OTHER AND ON ALL AROUND THEM."

He goes on to describe the French Revolution as follows
"...politcal occurrences in France gave exercise and full scope for the operation of that spirit of revolt which had long growled in secret.....The cosmo-poltical and skeptical opinions and sentiments so much cultivated in all the lodges of the Philalethes has by this time been openly professed by many of the sages of France and artfully interwoven with their statistical economics. The many contests between the King and the Parliament of Paris about the registration of his edicts, had given occasion to much discussion and had made the public familiarly acquainted with topics altogether unsuitable to the absolutely monarchy of France....he then goes on to state that the view began to switch to a VERY LIBERAL INTERPRETATION OF THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT."

Ah and just like that we all became "enlightened" thanks to Lucifer himself. 

So as Americans, we must ask ourselves, are the most conservative among us still really "Liberal" in the grand scheme of history? I would argue yes. 

"For when Kingship is weak, the powerful oppress and destroy."  - Hilaire Bellloc

If one decides to research my beloved patron saint, Joan of Arc, it won't take long to stumble across Catholics and non-catholics alike who make her out to be the leader of "women's rights" and the "feminist movement." 
Take for example this line in an article written by a Kate Mcguire on May 6 2013 titled Joan of Arc: Feminist Leader, Prophet, Influence to allThe ultimate role model for young girls to aspire to be something more. I'm sorry but this headline is straight up offensive...something more? something more than what, being a girl? what's wrong with being a girl? Why do feminists hate themselves so much?

The offensive and wrong headline is bad enough but she then goes on to state the following about Joan:

"A dedicated, driven, and passionate Christian, Joan of Arc (also known from her family name, Jeanne la Pucelle) has risen as a leader of the Catholic Church since her execution in Rouen’s Old Market Square. Joan comes as a symbol of not only peace and a glorified martyr, but as one of the first recognized feminists of the time."
 She further goes on to make the connection between Joan and the Salem Witch trials which is not the same at all and is horribly offensive to pius ears.

Lord have Mercy... the modern woman cannot see the heights from which she has fallen. This is just one example of many regarding the fact that Joan has been one of *if not the* most misunderstood saints in the Catholic Church. Far from throwing off the yoke of gender roles and the natural/divine authority structure both in the family and in society, she came to restore proper authority and order. That was literally her whole mission. When is the last time you heard a feminist talk favorably about monarchies? They don't because they have a problem accepting the divine authority structure which is why they are feminists to begin with. The entire point of feminism is to revolt or rebel against a patriarchal system. They can't for one second of their miserable and prideful lives fathom the fact that God's system involves authority and hierarchy.... WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT JOAN FOUGHT TO RESTORE.  

Feminists do not believe that the man is the head of the family or that the family represents a miniature kingdom within society, therefore they definetely reject the male king as having ultimate God given authority to rule over society at large.  

​Feminists do not believe that God is big into roles both within the family and outside of the family which is the total opposite of what Joan of Arc knew to be true. Her entire mission was to help God restore King Charles VII to his rightful throne that was usurped by England during the 100 year war. If she was here today, she would tell all you women to stop trying to usurp your husband's GOD GIVEN role of which you have no authority to try to do. Remember what happened the last time the roles got confused...namely in the garden of eden? Yeah all of humanity fell when Adam submitted his authority to his wife and choose to go against God and eat the bad fruit. 

When you take a closer look, there is absolutely nothing compatible between the feminists and Saint Joan, and I mean nothing. 

One claim that is frequently made is that Joan proves that women can fight and have the same strength of men. This is a lie of the devil. Joan's success was due to exactly 2 things 1) submission to God and His church which allowed the Holy Spirit to work in her. 2) Her ability to inspire MEN to fight for her cause. 

Let's consider another view point that historians put forth:
https://scottmanning.com/content/joan-of-arc-military-successes-and-failures/#toc-2
Historians have debated Joan's contributions for centuries. Bernard Montgomery fenced his opinion by stating that he never determined "whether Joan had any God-given military ability herself or whether she was merely a tool in the hands of the French generals."15 By "tool," Montgomery meant that Joan merely inspired men to fight and contributed little else. It is true that Joan inspired. In most of her engagements, she carried a white banner that depicted Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and two angels. This banner was easily recognizable by the French and their opponents. Circumstances--whether they were miraculous or just great war stories--showed that her aggressive approach inspired the French and frightened the English. While trying to lift the siege at Orléans, there were several instances where Joan inspired the troops to press their fight in the midst of panic. On May 4, the French attacked an English fortification without Joan. As she rushed to the frontlines, "she found many wounded, which distressed her greatly."16 Seeing the gruesome sight of retreating, wounded troops must have discouraged her as it would any soldier, but she pressed on and pushed the French to continue their attack. They took the fort and "many English were killed."17 During an attack on another English fort outside Orléans, an arrow hit Joan above the breast in plain sight of everyone in the battle. While Joan had her wounds dressed, the French, who had been attacking all day long, faltered. As her troops were retreating, Joan returned, stuck her banner on the edge of the ditch surrounding the fort, and declared, "[T]here should be no retreat."18 Both the French and English soldiers who previously thought she was dead--or at least mortally wounded--were shocked. The French gained courage and attacked; the English were afraid and fled. Joan's troops took the fort with little resistance. Most of the English drowned in their retreat when they crowded a weak bridge that collapsed over the Loire River. There is precedence for a military commander encouraging troops with his mere presence at the front lines. Julius Caesar bragged how his presence at a battle in Gaul gave "fresh heart and hope" to his troops and "each man wanted to do his best under the eyes of his commander-in-chief."19 Joan with her banner had a stronger effect, because she not only brought courage to her men, but she also instilled fear in her opponents. At Montépilloy, an open-field battle, Joan struggled to get the English and the Burgundians to leave their defensive positions. Joan rode out and taunted her opponents, but the commander would not order an attack "for he feared that his army would be demoralized at the sight of Joan's banner."20
This intimidation factor followed Joan from May through September 1429, where more than thirty cities surrendered without a fight. These cities, however, had more to fear than Joan's banner. By July, the French had killed upwards of 3,500 English troops.21 Before Joan fought her first battle, she sent a letter to the English demanding that they surrender all their French cities and leave the continent. Those that did "not obey, I shall have them all killed."22 These were not empty threats. At the Siege of Jargeau, 700 English troops defended the town for two days. After the first night of fighting, Joan demanded the town's capitulation or "you will be massacred."23 The English refused and Joan's cannons bombarded the town. Eventually, the French assaulted the walls and killed as many as 1,100 people, which means the dead included English troops and French civilians.24 This was not the only incident of massacres that Joan left in her trail and word of these events surely preceded her throughout France. Joan and her banner inspired her troops and struck fear in her enemies, but the massacres certainly aided her in the thirty-plus bloodless capitulations.


I can not even imagine how horrified Joan must be from Heaven that the feminists have made her a poster child for their satanic and disordered campaign, which is the complete opposite of everything she fought for. 

Saint Joan of Arc pray for us, and help us to restore proper and divine order here on Earth!

Many mystics and even scripture itself supports this idea that prior to the arrival of the anti-christ (the ultimate persecutor) there will be cataclysmic events that will shake the created order though natural disasters, wars, and spiritual attacks by satan and his minions who will extraordinary power. Many Marian apparitions speak to the chastisements that will come due to man's sinfulness (La Salette, Fatima, Akita, Our Lady of the Good Event to name a few), and the fact that satan and his minions have corrupted society through the free masonic sects (Our Lady of the Good Event). The recourse we have to mitigate these chastisements are prayer (the rosary in particular), penance, living a Christian life, sacrifice and suffering.

Many mystics hold to the notion of a satanic century or era within the 5th epoch of which Venerable Holhauzer tells us we are living but for simplicities sake I will summarize only a few:

As a general overview this is a summary of Venerable Holzhauser's timeline of epochs of which we are in the 5th, bordering on the 6th and Satan is not happy about it. He notes that the 6th and 7th epochs will be very short.

1) The first age or special epoch of the Church begins with Jesus Christ and lasts until the first persecution under the pagan emperor, Nero.

2) The second, from Nero to Constantine the Great

3) The third, from Constantine to Charlemagne 

4) The fourth, from Charlemagne to Charles V, the pontificate of Leo X., and the heresy of Martin Luther 

5) The fifth age, from Luther up until.. (other mystics have stated that this will last until around the mid 21st century)

6) The sixth age, which begin with the arrival of the Great Monarch and Angelic Pontiff – this will be the Age of Concolation for the Church, the promised Age of Peace. The Age of Peace of the Sixth Age will end with the rise of the Antichrist, but the Sixth Age itself won't end until the Second Coming of Christ. 

7) The seventh will introduce the elect to the 'eternal sabbath' – i.e. The Second Coming of Christ when the Last Day occurs, the Last Judgement takes place and Eternity begins with the New Heaven and the New Earth.

This is what he has to say about the 5th Epoch that we are currently in:

“The fifth period of the Church, which began circa 1520, will end with the arrival of the holy Pope and of the powerful Monarch who is called "Help From God" because he will restore everything [in Christ]…”

“The fifth period is one of affliction, desolation, humiliation, and poverty for the Church. Jesus Christ will purify His people through cruel wars, famines, plagues, epidemics, and other horrible calamities. He will also afflict and weaken the Latin Church with many heresies. It is a period of defections, calamities and exterminations. Those Christians who survive the sword, plague and famines, will be few on earth. Nations will fight against nations and will be desolated by internecine dissensions…”

“During this period the Wisdom of God guides the Church in. several ways: 1) by chastising the Church so that riches may not corrupt her completely; 2) by interposing the Council of Trent like a light in the darkness, so that the Christians who see the light may know what to believe, 3) by setting St. Ignatius and his Society in opposition to Luther and other heretics (i.e note the Jesuits were a force to be reckoned with in oppsoing the Lutheran heresies at the time, hence it is no wonder they came under such attack later) ; 4) by carrying to remote lands the Faith which has been banned in most of Europe…”


(NOTE: while this interpretation starts with the beginning of the Fifth period which means the rise of Luther, Ven. Holzhauser obvsiouly predicted that the heresies Luther started would continue to wreak havoc and grow until the Great Monarch and Angelic Pontiff bring about the restoration of the Church hence - the COUNCIL OF TRENT not only was but will continue to be a guiding light in the time of darkness of the Church. According to Ven. Holzhuaser then, those who stay true to the declarations of the Council of Trent will not be led astray from the true Faith. Of interest, Bl. Catherine of Racconigi predicted that the aims of the Council of Trent would be fully accomplished with the arrival of Great Monarch and Angelic Pontiff.)

“During this period, many men will abuse the freedom of conscience conceded to them. It is of such men that Jude the Apostle spoke when he said, ‘These men blaspheme whatever they do not understand; and they corrupt whatever they know naturally as irrational animals do… They feast together without restraint, feeding themselves, grumbling murmurers, walking according to their
lusts; their mouth speaketh proud things, they admire people for the sake of gain; they bring about division, sensual men, having not the spirit.’”

“During this unhappy period, there will be laxity in divine and human precepts. Discipline will suffer. The Holy Canons will be completely disregarded, and the Clergy will not respect the laws of the Church. Everyone will be carried away and led to believe and to do what he fancies,according to the manner of the flesh…”

“They will ridicule Christian simplicity; they will call it folly and nonsense, but they will have the highest regard for advanced knowledge, and for the skill by which the axioms of the law, the precepts of morality, the Holy Canons and religious dogmas are clouded by senseless questions and elaborate arguments. As a result, no principle at all, however holy, authentic, ancient, and certain it may be, will remain free of censure, criticism, false interpretation, modification, and delimitation by man…”

(NOTE: apparently, Ven. Holzhausuer's comments on the time of corruption before the renewal of the Church. The world will grow corrupt and the Church will also fall into decay as it turns on its ancient Traditions and twists it to suit the times. Note the word 'modification'.)

“These are evil times, a century full of dangers and calamities. Heresy is everywhere, and the followers of heresy are in power almost everywhere. Bishops, prelates, and priests say that they are doing their duty, that they are vigilant, and that they live as befits their state in life. In like manner, therefore, they all seek excuses. But God will permit a great evil against His Church: Heretics and tyrants will come suddenly and unexpectedly; they will break into the Church while bishops, prelates and priests are asleep. They will enter Italy and lay Rome waste; they will burn down the churches and destroy everything.…”

“The Great Monarch will come when the Latin Church is desolated, humiliated, and afflicted with many heresies….”

(OBSERVATION: Ven. Holzhauser notes this period of degradation will LAST A CENTURY.  He  predicts this century of heretical intrusions and moral laxity int he Church will apparently be nearing its climax or basically reaching its end when ROME IS BURNED AND LAID WASTE. In another prediction, Ven. Holzhauser says Satan will be bound for a time when the Great Monarch comes, which means SATAN will be given liberty BEFORE ROME BURNS AND THE RENEWAL BEGINS.  So, could this be another prediction of 'SATAN's CENTURY' as foreseen by Pope Leo XIII?  If so, re will be nearing the end of Satan's Century when Rome burns and is laid waste.)

Which brings us to:
One of the private revelations that most stands out in regard to this pre anti-christ era is a vision given to Pope Leo VIII
On October 13, 1884, Pope Leo XIII had a remarkable vision 33 years before the Miracle of the Sun would take place at Fatima. 

When the aged Pontiff had finished celebrating Mass in his private Vatican Chapel, attended by a few Cardinals and members of the Vatican staff, he suddenly stopped at the foot of the altar. He stood there for about ten minutes, as if in a trance, his face white. Some accounts are more dramatic, saying he collapsed in shock and looked as is he were dead. After this strange incident, he immediately went from the Chapel to his office where he composed the now famous prayer to St. Michael, with instructions it be said after all Low Masses everywhere.

When asked what had happened, he explained that, as he was about to leave the foot of the altar, he suddenly heard voices - two voices, one kind and gentle, the other guttural and harsh. They seemed to come from near the tabernacle. As he listened, he heard the following conversation:


The guttural voice, the voice of Satan in his pride, boasted to Our Lord: "I can destroy your Church."

The gentle voice of Our Lord: "You can? Then go ahead and do so."

Satan: "To do so, I need more time and more power."
Our Lord: "How much time? How much power?

Satan: "75 to 100 years, and a greater power over those who will give themselves over to my service."

Our Lord: "You have the time, you will have the power.  Do with them what you will."

Some accounts tell that Pope Leo also saw the 'demonic century', the wars, the genocides and the schisms that would occur, the demons attacking the Church, and finally, witnessing St. Michael casting them down.

In 1886, Pope Leo XIII decreed that this prayer to St. Michael be said at the end of "low" Mass (not "high", or sung Masses) throughout the universal Church, along with the Salve Regina (Hail, Holy Queen); also three Hail Mary's and the prayer 'O God, Our Refuge and Our Strength'.

Another profound mystic that does not get nearly enough recognition is Marie-Julie Jahenny (1850-1941)
You can read her prophecies here greatmonarch-angelicpontiffprophecies.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_62.html

She had this to say about our times:

Marie-Julie Jahenny saw in a vision that when Christ ascended into Heaven, Satan appeared before Him and demanded more power. He was promised a period of freedom and would be left free to tempt mankind without limit. His evil conquests would be so great that his followers would exceed those of Our Lord - the peak of Satan's triumph would come when civil war breaks out in Europe -( the disastrous anti-clerical civil war that would start in Paris and spread through France.) Marie-Julie was told they were ALREADY IN SATAN'S AGE - (August 30, 1880)

The ABYSS (HELL)  IS WORKING ON EARTH  - Leading souls to hell.  (July 30, 1925) 

 The Lord will grant complete freedom and power to the evil ones for a time - (August 19, 1878)
(Marie-Julie was told they would be granted their complete freedom 'soon' - this warning came 5 years before Pope Leo XIII would receive his famous vision of 'Satan's Century' in 1883)

The length of this great freedom given to Satan is also a WARNING - if they are granted great freedom, God is also reserving a punishment for them as equal to the freedom they were allowed to have: (August 18, 1878)

The people of the earth will have grown so evil and corrupt and have such a lack of faith, that even if God and Our Lady were to work more marvellous wonders than those seen in Judea during Our Lord's life, or any miracle of the past, the people would not convert.  Therefore, God will not send marvels, but blows and decimation to cleanse an unbelieving generation.  (Sept. 16, 1904)

Demons will congregate - MANY IN THE FORM OF MAN - they will bring about false miracles- many of these demons even wear even the habits of the true servants of God -  they will have a strange, ferocious hunger for human flesh and blood - they crave the death and bloodshed of the true faithful - (i.e they plot the genocidal persecution.) (Sept. 29, 1880)  

 NOW IS THE TIME TO DECLARE WHAT SIDE YOU ARE ON - either to live and die in the Catholic Faith, or to choose the side of the enemies.  "It is time to look up to Heaven because in all the corners of the Earth YOU WILL FIND THE ANTICHRISTS, AS IN THE TIME OF THE LAST JUDGEMENT, that will travel the whole world to pervert, to weaken by their threats the faith of Christians."  (Sept. 20, 1881)   

A FALSE APOSTATE RELIGION RESEMBLING ISLAM WILL BE ESTABLISHED by force by authorities - Catholics who have lost grace will happily enter into it.  It will be a 'happy happy' religion of a 'merry heart' that will be completely divested of the Sacraments of the Church.    To escape the threat of death and the sufferings cause by persecutions, many will enter into this false religion to save themselves. Many bishops will enter and lead souls to Hell.  The youth will be spoiled at this time - the purification of souls will be terrible.  (June 9, 1881) 

 A NEW DIABOLICAL  'WORSHIP SERVICE or universal ECUMENICAL STYLE service will be introduced by Satan - the ministers shall wear red cloaks, or simply red, they will have a little bread and water for the service, but no valid consecration.  They will be permitted to say it everywhere, under the open sky,  and in 'all houses' (i.e possibly a cryptic reference to all places and churches of worship of all denominations) (June 28, 1880)  (NOTE: no wine is mentioned as part of this service - this would fit with the Islamic-like new religion that will be forced upon people as wine is forbidden in Islam.)

Her prophecies seem to carry a theme that France will experience all the chastisements first as she is the eldest daughter of the church and the birth place of the false enlightenment was France with its French Revolution. She further goes on to describe chastisements and warnings for France, Rome, and the church which there is not room to get into here but they involve a period of terrifying events including the three days of darkness and whole nations seemingly being destroyed as punishment for our anti-christian ways.  

Times will get increasingly worse but do not fear...help is on the way!

This prayer is particular helpful if you experiencing demonic oppression. For example I first came to know about this prayer because I was experiencing some demonic interference with equipment used for my job. It is taken from Fr. Ripperger's book Deliverance Prayers For Use By the Laity.

I (Name) a faithless sinner renew and ratify today in thy hands the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before. In the presence of all the heavenly court, I choose thee, O Mary, this day for my Mother and Mistress. Knowing that I have received rights over all my exterior goods by the promulgation of the Natural Law by the Divine Author, I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, all of my exterior goods, past, present and future; I relinquish into thy hands, my Heavenly Mother, all rights over my exterior goods, including my health, finances, relationships, possessions, property, my job, and my earthly success (add any exterior good being oppressed) and I retain for myself  no right of disposing the goods that come to me but leave to thee the entire and full right of disposing of all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God in time and in eternity. As I now interiorly relinquish what belongs to me exteriorly into thy hands, I entrust to thee the protection of those exterior goods against the evil one, so that, knowing that they now belong to thee, he cannot touch them. Receive, O good and pious Virgin this little offering of what little is, in honor of, and in union with, that subjection which the Eternal Wisdom deigned to have to Thy maternity; in homage to the power which both of You have over this poor sinner, and in thanksgiving for the privileges with which the Holy Trinity has favored thee. Trusting in the providential care of God the Father and they maternal care, I have full confidence that though wiltst take care of me as to the necessities of this life and will not leave me forsaken. God the Father, increase my trust in thy Son's Mother; Our Lady of Fair Love, give me perfect confidence in the providence of Thy son. Amen

​The self help industry is a multi billion dollar industry that's mission is to offer the consumer a transformative experience with the goal of self betterment and "enlightenment." This is not a new industry, but with many falling away from "outdated" religion, it now has a solid footing in our society. I would argue that among all the schemes of the devil, this set of ideas which I call Paganism 2.0 is the most dangerous. It has literally set us back thousands of years into the darkness of paganism and even to the roots of the fall out of the Garden. All of the real enlightenment that was achieved through Christ and His church is being lost to this one big falsity. In short, it has made us spiritually stupid. I would further argue that while it is always unacceptable and diabolical to offer worship to false pagan gods, it is far easier to covert a person who directs their worship towards a deity (however unclean it may be) rather then towards themselves. At least the pagans of old, had the humility to acknowledge that there were beings greater than them and that supernatural entities ran the show.  In short, the self-help industry has the mark of the serpent ALL over it. It is literally his original lie in the garden when he convinced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit so that she could be like a god. Now we all know (or should know) how that ended. It ended with the falling out of the grace of paradise and doomed the whole human race. The default mode since that fateful event is  a fallen nature which only the flesh and blood of the 2nd person of the Trinity could cancel out.
I would also like to note that these self enlightenment ideas could potentially be beneficial to certain individuals who having no knowledge of Christianity and the one true God, are simply doing their best to follow what they believe to be the right path. If you fall into this category, I encourage you to keep seeking beyond New Age self help doctrines and into the mysteries of the Trinity. I would also like to congratulate you for at least getting off the couch and trying to better yourself. However, I want to direct this post  at my fallen away brothers and sisters of the Catholic Faith and all baptized Christians in general…Take this blog as your PSA of the day…..AT YOUR JUDGEMENT YOU WILL BE JUDGED MORE HARSHLY THAN THOSE I HAVE FORMLY DESCRIBED BECAUSE YOU WERE GIVEN THE TRUTH AT YOUR BAPTISM AND REJECTED IT IN FAVOR OF FALSE AND EMPTY DOCTRINES. *shudder*
 My 9 year old daughter asked an insightful question recently. In all her goodness and innocence, she was having issues understanding the creature of Satan. She could not understand why he hates us so much and wants our destruction. The answer is simple. There is no good in him and he knows how much God loves His humans. His only recourse of rebellion is to wage war against us in order to separate God and man for all of eternity. Let us not forget that from the beginning Satan’s only goal was to set up his own kingdom, rather than serve in God’s, and this is precisely what he convinces us to do. He invites us to follow in his example and the results for us will be the same as his (fall from heaven) if we listen. If we spend our time advancing our own kingdom, there is a good chance that we will not be allowed in the true and eternal Kingdom when we pass to the next life.
Let's take a closer look at this big lie so we can better apply it to the times we are currently living in. 
As I’ve stated, the enemy’s only goal is to defile God’s creation and he does that by  seducing man to separate himself from God for all of eternity. One of the best breakdowns I’ve seen on the topic is found in the book “The Rosary, Your Weapon for Spiritual Warfare” and which can be purchased here. The authors state the following:
"In the garden it was the woman that Satan initially had in his crosshairs His hatred toward her was intense. Saint Maximillian Kolbe offers an explanation for this in his writings in which he states the following “ In the Garden of Eden, Satan saw a being like the one who was the object of his anger. He cannot reach God, he cannot reach her (Mary), but pours out his hatred onto her future mother, on the first mother of mankind.”  The book goes on to describe the strategy that he used.

1. He will engage the woman by falsifying God’s command about the tree
2. He will raise suspicions and doubts in her mind about God’s good will
3. He will portray God as her enemy

For the purposes of this blog, I am going to stop there, but I highly suggest that you read this book for a full breakdown. I will reference Satan's strategy in the garden to his schemes today so that you can see that it is identical.
Now, it is bad enough that billions of dollars are being spent on seeking false enlightenment in the form of books and DVDs, but where it gets really scary is that there are organizations and societies who’s main mission is to perpetuate the lie of the Serpent in the garden all while marching under a “non-religious” banner! The latter part I find particularly fascinating because make no mistake about it, these societies ARE religious in nature but instead of directing worship to God, it is directed to the religion of man. It is literally setting up man to be worshipped in the temple instead of God which is to say it is bringing about the reign of the Anti-Christ.  Yes…you heard me correctly….your seemingly innocent fraternal organizations are bringing about the reign of the Anti-Christ. REPENT AND CONVERT for time is almost out.  This may seem harsh but it is not. Christ reigns through His church here on earth. He lives among us and in us sacramentally in his body soul and divinity. Satan, working through the antichrist wants to reign over all of earth. He literally wants to establish his own Kingdom. In order to do this he must set up a religion of fraternity, absent of the one true God in order to get us out from divine protection. Once this is accomplish he will take his seat and require worship to him. The most famous and influential of the religion of man denominations is free masonry and one does not have to search hard to find the Church’s opinion on them. Public enemy #1 is a generally accurate description.  However, today I am going to pick on one that is a little closer to home for me. Before I go any further though, I want to state that my goal here today in writing this is not to offend people or be close minded, although the truth seems to do that all on it’s own these days. My hope is that this will convince those who have found themselves caught up in the big lie to step out of the darkness of false enlighten and into the light of the truth which is Christ and His Church.  In short, REPENT and CONVERT for the times are urgent. I’ve seen the road on which your false enlightenment is taking you and it is a dead end.
 
The Mankind Project
https://mankindproject.org/​
Recently and unfortunately, it has been brought to my attention that a group that claims to promote the overall well being of men is gaining popularity on an international level, even amongst those who claim to be Catholic. In fact, when researching this fraternal society, I even came across an article that stated there was at least one CATHOLIC PRIEST encouraging people to join it (shudder), and CATHOLIC PREISTS AS ACTIVE MEMBERS (bigger shudder).
To quote from the “about” section of their website, the mankind project is summarized as the following:

• Global Network of Nonprofit Organizations
• Non-Religious – Men of all faiths and no faith are welcome.
• Inclusive – Men of all backgrounds, orientations, ages, and abilities are welcome.

As I have stated several times in previous posts and videos, the Lord has blessed me with an ability to see through a lot of the devil’s schemes. It has become almost instinctual for me, so I immediately saw this for what it was, which shouldn’t be hard for anyone with any spiritual sense to see….New World Order anyone? I mean did the Bill and Melinda Gates or the Rockefeller Foundation found this thing or what? Maybe they did or maybe they didn’t but it hardly matters because all these false “separate God from fraternity for spiritual enlightenment” organizations share the same slithering source. It’s annoyingly the same story over and over and over again…Satan’s tactics are boring and unchanging. They all promote the same ideas, most notably of our times is the promotion of  brotherly global fraternity without God where the only sin is “being mean” and tolerance divorced of truth is a sacrament. Then there's the lie that the path of enlightenment is personal and global transcendence of the oppressive historical practices and religions. 
Getting back to the anything goes except intolerance mentality, under the guise of inclusivity I want to point out the fact that communion with God is the only path to true and lasting fraternity and enlightenment. Sin cuts off our communion with God and therefore if we do not address the issue of sin we will never have peace. Inclusion while forsaking truth leads to destruction. To demonstrate my point, allow me to quote 2 of my favorite Catholics, Saint Thomas Aquinas and my grandfather (rest his soul).

"For if the sins of the flesh are commonly censurable because they lead man to that which is bestial in him, much more so is the sin against nature, by which man debases himself lower even than his animal nature" (Super Epistulas Sancti Pauli Ad Romanum I, 26, pp. 27-28)
 
My Grandfather: “ Why are all the animals at the zoo in cages?”  (as you can see the former is clearly the Doctor of the Church…lol)

Saint Thomas tells us that sins of the flesh speak to that what is bestial in him (animalistic) but to defy nature sinks man to a lower spiritual level than even the animals.  Even the best trained animals at the zoo are still unpredictable, hence the cages my grandfather references. Without adressing and providing a solution to root out sin, peaceful fraternity will never exist and humans will eventually destroy each other. The Catholic Church as a global institution is only successful because all Her members are one in the supernatural BODY OF CHRIST. All other organizations claiming to be able to do this are simply a cheap knock off of the real fraternity of the Church and the supernatural bond of her members which surpasses all human ability and understanding. What do I mean by members? The Church Militant (us here on earth), The Church suffering (souls in purgatory), and the Church Triumphant (Saints in Heaven). Not only are the members united as one body, the body itself is then united to the creator of the entire universe. I do not believe any other organization on earth makes those promises. Why in the world would you trade in supernatural fraternity for natural fraternity?  Sure, you can go to Chinatown and get a knockoff coach purse and while it looks good, it’s still just that…a knock off, a fraud, lacking superior craftsmanship.  A global society outside of the Church will never be able to transform its members to the degree that peace could be established. True transformation and peace comes from ONE place and ONE place only and that is heaven. It is a supernatural gift. The lack of understanding and ignorance of this concept is the downfall and ignorance of the globalists and those that have chosen the path of these fraternal organizations. They don’t understand (or maybe they do) that what they are doing in the name of fraternity (without God) is setting people up to be deceived by the anti-christ, who, make no mistake about it, will come promoting all of the ideas that groups like the masons and the mankind project is promoting. We simply are too fallen to be able to overcome our human nature on any real and lasting level without divine assistance, let alone transcend earthly life as we know it. Satan knows this and will and does capitalize on it.  The normalization of putting the worship of man above the worship of God, also softens us up to view the “man in the temple” as good so that when the man (antichrist) actually does sit in the temple and demand worship we go along with it. 
 
Now, let’s assess the second bullet point specifically the “non-religious” point, which I find epically entertaining.
Religion according to Wikipedia is as follows
Religion is a social-cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, and spiritual elements.[1] However, there is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion.[2][3]
Different religions may or may not contain various elements ranging from the divine,[4] sacred things,[5] faith,[6] a supernatural being or supernatural beings[7] or "some sort of ultimacy and transcendence that will provide norms and power for the rest of life".[8] Religious practices may include rituals, sermons, commemoration or veneration (of deities and/or saints), sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trances, initiations, funerary services, matrimonial services, meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, public service, or other aspects of human culture. Religions have sacred histories and narratives, which may be preserved in sacred scriptures, and symbols and holy places, that aim mostly to give a meaning to life. Religions may contain symbolic stories, which are sometimes said by followers to be true, that have the side purpose of explaining the origin of life, the universe, and other things. Traditionally, faith, in addition to reason, has been considered a source of religious beliefs.[9]
 
This denial of religion while promoting religion is a  PET PEEVE of mine. It literally makes me angry and spoiler alert…everyone worships something. Even the most hardcore atheists have their own religion…it is usually themselves or the denial of God which turns into a religion in and of itself.
 
In the context of these societies, the  more accurate description of their ideology would be the following: Whatever religion you profess to have you can still profess it because it doesn’t matter, they are all equally wrong in our eyes because we provide you with a “new” spirituality that we claim is true enlightenment but is really false.
 
And as we will see, their new dogmas of spirituality are really just the religions of old such as Native American and Eastern paganism. I mean it is quite astounding how spiritually stupid we have become to accept the VERY IDEOLOGIES THAT CHRIST DIED TO FREE US FROM.
 
Furthermore, this is how the protestants got us into so much trouble as a Christian people, especially in America. Their view of “faith alone” softened true worship, by doing away with sacred tradition, rituals, and rites, and allowed masons like the founding fathers to publicly attend church and profess to be Christians while their true worship (what was in their hearts and what they  did with their hands) was to the religion of man in the free masonic lodges. With devotion of the Eucharist out of the way, there’s no litmus test to tell a true Christian from a false one…Protestantism paved the way for societies like the masons and MKP to become mainstream.  If you are a true practicing Catholic, it is impossible for you to simultaneously practice the craft of free masonry as well. It just doesn’t work…you will be a fraud in one or the other, but with the invention of “works don’t matter” you could now work towards the kingdom of man while professing with your lips to be of the kingdom of God but I digress. One can literally see the development of the “deep state” and NWO from the foundation of this country. America is literally the product of the masonic enlightenment. What they failed to immediately do in most of Europe they succeeded in doing here. America is the completion of the French revolution.
Before we look at how the Mankind Project is absolutely religious, we will first compare this claim of not being religious to the 1st strategy of Satan in the garden which was to falsify God’s commandment about the tree.
The commandment was to not eat the fruit….pretty black and white there right? The first commandment of the 10 commandments is to love God…pretty black and white right? Well… how is participating in a “non-religious” organization focused on self, not directly violating commandment 1? By even joining this group under its false guise of not being religious is Satan falsifying commandment 1. But with the MKP it’s so much worse than that because it IS religious as I am going to prove.
 
First, I want to point out that in the definition of religion above, it incorporates the word “transcendence.” Another word for this is transformation. A big selling point of the self help world is transformation.
 I find this to be the most heartbreaking of all deceptions because it plays upon all that is good within man. There is nothing wrong with wanting to transcend this life and there is nothing wrong with personal transformation. The deception lies in the fact that groups like the MKP trap people into not living up to their true destiny. EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON PLANET EARTH is called to allow themselves to be transformed by THE TRINITY.  No one transcends this life without the supernatural grace of God PURCHASED ON THE CROSS BY THE SACRIFICE OF THE UBLEMISHED LAMB. Again this is where the protestants have it wrong. As Catholics we believe that by practicing our faith, we are supernaturally transformed into perfection. We know that we cannot accomplish perfection on our own. We know that we can do NOTHING without Him. We know that only through Him and his Sacraments will we become more like Him and be able to transcend this earthly experience. Our one true goal is nothing short of heaven, and no one gets to heaven without becoming perfected and the only way to become perfected is through Jesus. Seek first the Kingdom of God.

The New Age movement loves to herald the concept of the “hero’s journey” as way the truth and the life.  MKP is no exception.  One doesn’t have to look far on their website to find the selling points of “ Get Ready for a 48 Hour Adventure that Can Transform Your World as a Man” (notice the word transform) and “Be the Hero of Your Story.”  
From the website” A premise of the New Warrior Training Adventure was an introductory, experiential, weekend-long men’s gathering and initiation focusing on deep self-examination. This initiatory training was modeled – unconsciously, at first, and later intentionally – largely on Joseph Campbell’s cross-cultural research, and uses his stages of initiation: separation, descent, ordeal and welcoming back into the community of initiated men. Integral to the New Warrior Training Adventure was that part of initiation referred to by Campbell as the Hero’s Journey[12] and referred to by the New Warrior Training Adventure as both the Hero’s Journey and “GUTS.” The Hero’s Journey, as used in this context, was an internal quest to fight one’s own internal dragons.
I cannot say this loudly enough WE HAVE A HERO AND HE DIED ON THE CROSS.  THERE ARE REAL DRAGONS AND THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THEM OUT IS THE ARMOR OF GOD. Yes we need to overcome ourselves, this world, and satanic influences but we cannot identify them or overcome them without divine truth and assistance.  True transformation happens when we unite His body soul and divinity (found in the Eucharist) to our own. When we align our will with the divine will, true transformation happens. We do not need to be our own heroes. We cannot save ourselves. It is impossible. The idea behind the journey of the hero is to promote authenticity which translates into the justification of sins, and to shed old oppressive belief systems. I personally find this part hilarious because the same people who are telling you that the rituals of the church are oppressive are the same ones who require you to do a ritual to enter into their group…. Which brings me to my next point.
 
As you can see from the  statement above, they use the word initiation. Yes you heard me right, an organization that is claiming to not be religious is in the same breath, telling you to sign up for their initiation rite. You really can’t even make this up. In case you need a reminder,  initiation is part of what makes up the definition of religion as also seen above. The Church has her own initiation rites. In fact, adults who want to enter into the church must pass through RCIA…literally the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. The difference between the Church and the MKP or other societies is that the Church initiates its members into the supernatural body of Christ, while the latter initiates its members into the false religion of man. This is perhaps seen nowhere as clearly as in the masonic rituals and rites. One particular ceremony involves the initiate mocking a resurrection from the dead. He pretends to “die” and then is “resurrected” by a secret masonic handshake. It is literally stating that life lies in the covenant of men (handshakes are symbolic of a covenant or agreement between fellow men) which we as Christians know to be false.  Jesus tells us he is the way the truth and the life and that no one gets to the Father accept through him. We die to ourselves when we crucify our own will and align our will with God. We are all called to die to self and to allow Christ to resurrect us in and with his spirit.
In this “non-religious initiation” of the Mankind Project, the mockery of the Christian Religion is almost nauseating. I mean they literally steal all our stuff while professing to be non-religious.  My favorite is the fact that when you return home, you are supposed to “Greet your loved ones with a fire in your belly”  Sounds an awful lot like a mockery of Pentecost and a false Holy Spirit to me, but what do I know.
https://mankindproject.org/new-warrior-training-adventure/ here is the link so that you can see for yourself what this training is supposed to promote. However, to find specifics on the matter, we need to seek out insiders, which can be hard to do because they refuse to give away their secrets (eye roll). However, in my research I came across an article in which the interviewer, a 30 year veteran of the Denver PD evaluated the society and interviewed 3 alumni of the MKP who were able to shed light on the New Warrior Training initiation rite which was described as follows: https://www.equip.org/article/the-mankind-project/
Roggeman interviewed three alumni of the training, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity, to gain a sense of what happens during the training, which begins on a Friday evening and ends on a Sunday afternoon. Roggeman’s article described the men as having been yelled at, told to sit in a dark room while awaiting other initiates (new participants), ordered to hand over their wristwatches and cell phones, and sleep-deprived for much of the weekend. The three men also referred to initiates dancing naked amid frenetic drumming.
What Roggeman heard in the testimony of his three anonymous informants was a pattern of breaking people down in order to rebuild them. That reminded him of est, which he had studied in the 1970s. Roggeman also was troubled by the ManKind Project’s policy of not discussing what occurs during its weekend training sessions. “That’s always a red flag,” he told the Journal.
Much of Roggeman’s 3,000-word article—“Oh, Man, What Kind of Project Is This?”—describes ties of influence between the ManKind Project and est. For instance, the three founders of the ManKind Project (ex-Marine and ex-corporate executive Rich Tosi, therapist Bill Kauth, and educator Ron Hering) attended a men’s seminar by Justin Sterling, who is an alumnus of est. Roggeman believes Sterling’s seminar, which was the subject of several different critical reports by journalists, helped shape what became the ManKind Project’s New Warrior Training Adventure.
Sinclair alluded to men divesting themselves of wristwatches and cell phones and emptying their pockets. “You’d be surprised. Some men bring weapons, some men bring drugs,” Sinclair said. “They’re not awake yet.” (In fairness, it’s also worth noting that many Christian retreats, such as Cursillo, also require participants to hand over the trappings of everyday modern life.)
Sinclair agreed that the weekend experience can be too intense for some men. “We say very clearly that the training is not for every man,” he said. “We tell potential initiates that there will be times in the weekend when they will want to run away and hide. You will be tested—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.”
The ManKind Project recognizes that boys and young men no longer have initiation rites that mark their passage into adulthood, Sinclair said. For modern people, this void began with the Industrial Revolution, which disrupted the traditional pattern of a boy learning a trade from his father and going through an apprenticeship.
“You still need a masculine hand for boys to see what it means to be a man,” Sinclair said. The weekend offers initiates “a vortex of masculine power that is so powerful.”
The ManKind Project stresses being conscious, helping men become awake to their choices, and the consequences of those choices. “What we are doing is letting men look at their emotional wounds,” Sinclair said. “Men typically do not talk about their emotional issues with other men. They talk about the money they make, about cars, and about women. They look past one another.”
Sinclair said he first became involved with The ManKind Project when he was going through a divorce and a battle for custody of his children. “I felt like a wounded bird,” he said, and the New Warrior Training Adventure helped him discover his inner strength. “One of the proudest things I’ve ever done in my life was to be a good father.”
The ManKind Project is interested in spirituality, and encourages its participants to serve others, often by taking New Warrior Training Adventure to fatherless children or into prisons. Sinclair believes every man has within himself the four archetypes of king, warrior, lover, and magician. “Standing in the center of those four quadrants,” he said, “is the citizen.”
The ManKind Project has encountered enough criticisms that its Frequently Asked Questions document directly addresses the question of whether the group is a cult: “Cults ask their members to devote their lives, and often their material possessions, to a single leader or doctrine. The Mankind Project’s broad leadership base takes a very different approach, challenging each man to define the life that works best for him, and to live that life fully with the support of other men.”
“We don’t espouse any religion, although any man is welcome to attend,” Sinclair said.

The website states the following in regard to initiation.
“The premise was that a man could not fight the demons of the world until he had fought and conquered his own. At the New Warrior Training Adventure, those demons were represented as “shadow.” In Jungian psychology, “shadow” is that part of a person that is hidden, repressed and denied.[13] The myths of Gilgamesh, Odysseus and Perceval are often seen as symbolic of the journey of everyman. The New Warrior Training Adventure took place in a safe container in ritual space. Container is meant as a metaphor for the alchemist’s crucible, a vessel capable of containing the energetic processes of transformation. These processes had to be emotionally safe, psychologically evocative of ritual space. Ritual space is an area, removed from the mundane or ordinary reality, which has been given symbolic or sacred intent by the container. In men’s healing work, it is an area, often in a natural setting outdoors, where men can meet free from the influences of civilization within a container that feels safe and blessed, often through ritual.
 
The work of initiation and other men’s healing is physically, emotionally and spiritually energetic, which requires a substantial container. Initiation of men, as used here, means a process used to transmit and model a healthy understanding of what it means to be a man. It includes rituals, activities and ceremonies designed to create a meaningful sense of inclusion and identity as a man. This is distinct from the term “rites of passage,” which connotes a focus on the societal and cultural functions of rituals and ceremonies, as written about by Van Gennep in his 1909 seminal work Rites of Passage. Initiation, as used to describe the New Warrior Training Adventure, focuses on the personal and psychological impact of the process on the individual.[14

As you can see, the initiation part is all about death and resurrection. The breaking down of oneself is artificially induced instead of supernaturally induced by way of the Holy Spirit in the Sacraments of the Church. The death of the ego or death of self to make room for the new and improved you is a favorite concept of the new agers who think they can achieve this without the Christian God. It’s the path the Catholic follows only devoid of Jesus and therefore fake. As Catholics we know that true transformation and the dying to self is a life long pursuit that many never accomplish on this earth, let alone in 48 hours, in the woods in upstate NY. It’s a coach purse knockoff. But according to them the ones who haven’t been initiated into their non-religion are described as not awake LOL. Oh My! And speaking of non-religion, let me divert your attention to the words, initiation, blessed, ritual and sacred….Sounds pretty religious to me. I would also like to point out that we have a God given safe and sacred space for healing and it’s called the Church. What they mean is that that have set aside sacred religion of man spaces. CALL IT WHAT IT IS; A RELIGION OF MAN. Be honest with yourselves and with everyone else. You do not worship God you worship men with pagan tactics.

Speaking of tactics, the naked drumming, I found to be particularly fascinating because it is derived from ancient pagan practices and is worth discussing. I'm sure they gave something about vulnerability or empowerment but my Catholic intellect knows better. 
What was the first thing that happened after Adam and Eve took the bait and ate the fruit? Their eyes were opened and they realized they were naked. They were ashamed of their nakedness and so God in all his mercy made them clothes. Clothes from that point on separated us from the rest of creation…animals don’t wear clothes... The nakedness in conjunction with drumming and dancing (which is a celebratory concept)  literally symbolizes the rejection of God’s mercy and celebrating of our naked animalistic nature which as we see from Thomas Aquinas is a symptom of sin. It is any wonder then that these initiates receive “animal totem names”. WE ARE NOT DESTINED TO LIVE AS ANIMALS WE ARE DESTINED TO LIVE WITH GOD IN ETERNITY. They possess the way to enlightenment? I THINK NOT…but let’s take a look at what happens after the death to self and naked drumming…What do people get out of this?
 
In the words of a member on the website “It completely freed me up to be the man that can live on purpose and with meaning, a clear meaning. I now have the power to conquer anything that presents itself with the tools I’ve received, and from the ongoing work I do with the support of other men. It’s a brotherhood like no other. These men call me on my shit and I call them on theirs. That’s a true brotherhood beyond friendship.”
 
So, if I am understanding correctly, once you crucify yourself in a 48 hour pagan themed initiation ritual in the woods, the resurrection into your new life includes promises of meaning, purpose, and opportunities to partake in fake sacraments. Apparently, the Church (founded by God) has it wrong, and the idea that the meaning of life is to know and love God, just isn’t good enough for modern man… so what is this new found meaning and purpose that this religion of man offers? Well …we don’t exactly know, but my guess is that this group tells its members that the meaning of life is to know and love man, as seen by their constant proclamation of knowing yourself and being in service to others. They state the following:
“The ManKind Project empowers men to missions of service, supporting men to make a difference in the lives of others – men, women, and children around the world. We help men through any transition, men at all levels of success, men facing almost any challenge.” Interesting…God’s church also believes in service to others. In fact the Catholic Church is the single most charitable organization on the planet. Every single day the Catholic Church feeds, houses, and clothes more people, takes care of more sick people, visits more prisoners, and educates more people than any other institution on the face of the earth could ever hope to. Mother Theresa, the image of all that is mission and service related, was  a CATHOLIC who spent hours a day in front of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament….So excuse me if I am not convinced of the “mission of service” however noble it may seem.
 
Let’s just call a spade a spade. People who join the religion of man groups, want to feel like good people without addressing sin. They are searching for purpose, not in the creator but in the creation. Instead of rooting sin out, as the church demands, they bandaid over it with fraternal service which becomes the standard by which they judge themselves. It’s this mindset of “as long as I am a productive member of society, good to others, and striving towards knowing and loving self,” I am a good person. The first problem with this is that God judges our lives by his standards not ours. The church invites us to judge ourselves by supernatural standards. The second problem is that this mindset is relative. Who defines good? Sure, you can call someone on their “shit” so to speak but for what end?  If we are focused on knowing ourselves instead of knowing God we will never examine ourselves against the light of the Truth. We are supposed to strive to know and love God. NOT self. The religion of man is narcissistic. The path to enlightenment is supernatural illumination that you can never achieve on your own or through pagan practices.
Evidently, during initiation and then after, you are invited into “self examination” which we Catholics call an illumination or examination of conscious. This period of reflection is conducted partly on our own but also aided by the Holy Spirit and it is conducted prior to the sacrament of confession. The religion of man perverts the sacrament of confession by telling its member that they should accuse themselves to each other in their peer groups or tribes, instead of  accusing themselves before the priest in a parish who acts in the person of Christ. Why would we want supernatural advice when we could settle for the natural? HA! Now my question becomes what exactly are you examining if there is no such thing as sin? Like how do you even know what to confess to your brother? I guess the idea is to hold people accountable to their goals…but what if their goals are bad and damaging? Who is the ultimate authority on what is good and bad?

One half- truth I found interesting is that this group addresses the need for masculinity or as they refer to it as “healing for men in safe spaces” Can I just interrupt myself here and say that if I ever dated anyone that sought out a safe space, outside of the church, that would be the end of that.
The claim is that men do not have rites anymore and have lost masculinity in this shallow and materialistic world which is TRUE. But the cause of this was the falling away from Christ’s Church. Rites, rituals, transformation, true masculinity IN THEIR ENTIRE TRUTH can be found in the Church. Satan seduced people away from the church with the lure of riches, rationalism and materialism and NOW HE IS TRYING TO FILL THE SPIRITUAL VACCUMM THROUGH FAKE COACH PURSES. It’s working because we are spiritual beings that will seek out spiritual concepts in the absence of the Church. It’s the pinnacle of evil genius.
 
One thing I do want to point out that they touch on is that the concept of masculinity is super important in our current times. There has most certainly been an attack on it. However where the Catholic and the New Agers differ is on the definition. What society needs is AUTHENTIC masculinity, not the false masculinity that the MKP and others try to sell. One particularly alarming fact is that one of the founders took his inspiration from the feminist movement and claims to be a “feminist therapist” uhh….ok? The problem with feminism is that it convinces women that their strengths do not lie in their God given gifts it claims to make women strong but it really weakens them… It’s invitation to DEFY THE NATURAL ORDER AND DIVINE CREATION. It is all about tolerance and authenticity. It revolves around the fact that you can be your own god and that anything that does not make you feel good or free or more authentic has to go. It is a plot to overthrow the natural created order.  The paradigm that this organization is promoting is taken from their Journal and is as follows

This is a picture of mature masculine, of healthy masculinity – it is one redefinition of masculinity for the 21st century. By no means is this list complete. You are welcome to come and add your gifts to this community. www.mkp.org

There’s really too much there for me to comment on each line individually and some of it does overlap with the law of God. However and a big HOWEVER is that it is missing the most important factor of masculinity which we shall see below.

Turning again to the book, The Rosary Your Weapon for Spiritual Warfare we learn the following.
Recall the words that Adam Speaks when he beholds the woman for the first time. He calls her “bone of my bone” and “flesh of my flesh” These words communicate that Adam found himself in the woman. Without quoting the whole book, the highlights of woman are that she is symbolic of what is hidden and mysterious as even her reproductive organs symbolize. She is made from bone which is a formative substance that gives shape to man. Her mission and authority is to point man upward to what is veiled and sacred. She is to point man to God and to remind him of his divine mission. She is to inspire him and through him all of civilization. She is chosen by God to bring to fulfillment and ultimate potential, the life entrusted to her by virtue of her very nature, her feminine reality. Is it any wonder then that the Church is described as HOLY MOTHER CHURCH and THE BRIDE OF CHRIST? But now we have these fraternal groups such as MKP trying to take the place of wives and the Church. Is it any wonder this false masculinity is an answer to the feminist movement in which women rejects her divine gifts?
Let’s continue with the book;
 “ The sacrifice for Adam’s rib for woman’s creation, has its own significance and speaks to his mission as man. It defines him as a participant in GODS OWN FATHERHOOD, from which ALL CREATION FLOWS.” A definition of true masculinity is starting to take shape here. Sacrifice in union with the divine will IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT TRAIT OF A MASCULINE MALE. Not sacrifice for brotherhood or sacrifice for self betterment. NO!  Sacrifice for God,  in unity with his divine plan in order that all of creation may flow.  That’s a far cry from safe spaces to talk about feelings and cleaning up after yourself. Let’s continue “ Woman’s issuing from him signifies that he references the Almighty, the First Cause” Here in lies the problem with the MKP, they admit that it was founded partly in response to the feminist movement. What should have happened during the feminist movement was that men should have expressed their God given authority and told the women to cut it out and reminded them of their place in the created order. What they should NOT have done was adjust their definition of masculinity based on a misguided definition of feminism. MEN PLEASE LISTEN TO ME….WE DESPERATELY NEED YOU TO RECONCILE WITH CHRIST AND ASSERT YOUR AUTHORITY.   Let’s continue. “ It connotes his call to be Godlike in his care of woman: to cherish she who comes forth from him and to guard her, to sacrifice for her to slay dragons for her, to lay down his life for her if called He is her protector, provider, and leader, and to be the same for all those born as the fruit of their union. This is the mark of his masculinity, the mark of his fatherhood, and the mark of his Godlikeness.”
“ The complementarity between man and woman, which comes by way of the lived expression of their individual authorities, is a dynamic of gift-to-gift through which comes human flourishing- and the flourishing of all creation, for that matter. This is what Satan observed, and this is what he was intent on destroying.”
 
To conclude:
The MankKnd project is a fraternal organization that attempts to promote enlightenment, fraternity, and masculinity divorced from the truth of God.  It is just one of the latest snares of the devil. It traps people into working toward self fulfillment instead of fulfillment in God. It lies to people and tells them they can transcend on their own without God. In short, it is the original lie in the Garden of Eden.
Repent and convert for the hour is late. 

.According to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, the book that I am going to use to describe the key characterizes of the Antichrist and his reign of terror, was one of the biggest graces she has ever received. The title of the book is End of this Present World  and Mysteries of  the Life to Come.  It can be purchased here 
The author bases his assessment off of Scripture and tradition and teachings of the church fathers. This post will briefly summarize key points:

Timeline of the Antichrist in relation to the end of the world or the final judgement-
It is a common belief that Christ Himself will return to fight the Antichrist and then the world will end and the new Earth will appear. It is worth pointing out that this is NOT the general consensus among most of the church fathers and does not make sense in the context of scripture, most notably in the Book of Revelation. The more fitting description is that the Antichrist will be destroyed by the "spirit of his mouth" aka the Holy Spirit as we see in 2 Thessalonians 2:8. This is  not describing Jesus in his glorified body coming to earth to destroy the Antichrist. It is thought that after the destruction of the Antichrist, there will be an era of peace in which life will be centered around the sacraments of the church.  In being familiar with private revelations, I personally think that the "Great Monarch" and "Great Pope" aided by the Blessed Mother and Saint Michael the Archangel , combined with the remnant of God's people that weren't killed off in the persecutions (more on that later), will defeat the Antichrist, but that is another post entirely. After this era of peace, it is thought that Satan will be unchained to wreak havoc (but not in human form as he did with the Antichrist) and then the physical second coming and rebirth with put an end to him once and for all.  It is important for us to differentiate between the reign of the Antichrist and the second coming as they are not the same event.  The Antichrist marks the end of the Era and the beginning of a new one, while the end of the world is just that...the end of the world. It is also worth noting that the end of the world will not happen until the Antichrist has his way with us. 

Signs that will precede his Reign
For the sake of prudence I think we need to establish a difference between the 3 and half year reign when he has full power and his public appearance. No where do we see that his public appearance is simultaneous with his actual reign of ultimate power when he takes the throne of the universe so to speak. In fact reason and logic would point to the fact that he would make his appearance prior to crowning himself as emperor of all.  Furthermore, we should not get tunnel vision in focusing just on the person of the Antichrist at the exclusion of the reign of the SPIRIT of the antichrist which is already upon us and has been since the the beginning of the Church. Every "star" needs their red carpet rolled out so to speak and we should be vigilant in being able to identify the people and actions that are indeed rolling it out.  There is nothing spontaneous about his coming to power, it has been centuries in the works.  It is the reason why the early Christians who were persecuted by the types of the antichrist thought they would see the second coming. The thing to remember is that the final end time Antichrist will be the worst of the worst...a culmination of all the types such as Nero Ceaser. 
Prior to his reign will be great tribulations, most notably violence and famines and plagues etc.... He will use this to his advantage. Just when everything is at its worst he will offer an apparent solution for all of our problems at the price of apostasy and the denial of the one true God. He will offer people an opportunity to save their bodies and lose their souls. Everything will be tolerated accept worship that isn't directed at him, especially that directed at Jesus Christ. 

Characteristics of The Antichrist

• He will be fully man but possessed by Satan since birth
• He will mock the Lord in everything he does *THIS IS THE KEY TO IDENTIFYING HIM* everything he does will be a satanic inversion or a mimicking of Catholicism. For example he will profess to have had a miraculous or unique birth but most likely would have been born in a unclean way (ie fornication or adultery) It is my personal opinion he will be a child of science (test tube baby) and in that way he could possibly claim that his mother is a virgin but there are other viable theories as well such as being born from a satanic ritual in which the worshipers rape the woman who acts as the altar. 
• He will be of Jewish decent. Just as the Jews rejected the child Jesus for not being what they considered a "king", they will accept this "king" as their messiah initially but then will be converted to Catholicism when the 2 witnesses Elijah and Enoch show up during his reign.  For this reason, he will make Jerusalem the seat of his throne and pretend to bring about a Jewish Kingdom. He will initially force everyone to follow Jewish law such as circumcision and bloody sacrifices but will at some point stop that and force sacrifices to be offered to him alone. 
• He may be of the tribe of Dan
• . In order to have altars erected to him and to have sacrifices and worship offered to him alone, he will  ban the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and persecute the Church. I am of the opinion that prior to the abomination of desolation the Pope will be killed and an Antipope installed to bridge the gap between worshiping Christ in the Mass and worshipping the Antichrist. 
• He will wage war on the saints, the likes of which the world has never seen and will never see again. He will use deception and violence. His mission will be to exterminate Catholics, not for power or for money, but for the simple fact that he is Satan and he hates God.  He will create alliances between all of the worlds religions and heresies in order to accomplish his mission of full out extermination. The Blessed Mother will protect her remnant though and the church will never be completely wiped out. 
• He will be an expert in the occult, the arts and sciences 
• He will portray himself as an ashiest and a humanitarian at first, but these are both lies. 
• He will literally rule the world for 3 and a half years. 
• Do not lose track of the fact that the ultimate goal of Satan has always been to create his own Kingdom and will very much sell the idea of peace and harmony on earth (as soon as the pesky Christians are killed of course). He wants to dethrone Jesus and replace all the feast days, holydays, customs, traditions etc....these will be viewed as old fashioned, intolerant, and a hindrance to progress and peace. Sunday observance will be changed or done away with. No sacraments- the church will be underground and hunted. 
• He will work wonders to include even appearing having been raised from the dead due to a head wound. He will make fire fall from the sky and make statues talk, but it will all be the work of demons. Many will be deceived by these false miracles...ESPECIALLY the rationalists and scientists among us who insist that the miracles of Christ are explainable.  Many who think they are Christian will be deceived and convinced that persecuting Catholics is the right thing to do. 
• His reign will be allowed as punishment from God and many souls will be lost and to separate the wheat from the chaff. 
• He will blaspheme God and have the cooperation of 10 earthy kings like we see in the depiction of Daniel's beast.
• He will seal people with his "mark" in order to be admitted into society. The mark will be the number of his name 666 or his actual name. 
• He will be hailed as a genius that advances humanity
• If the elect were not sustained and fortified by grace from heaven, not a single person would be able to withstand this time. It is also noted that those who have not been confirmed will most likely fall. 
• There will be no where to hide (technology makes this a possibility).

Spoiler alert- In the end her Immaculate Heart will triumph.
