Four Years Later: Still the Most Dangerous Person at the Al Smith Dinner

As in years past, those present included the aforementioned the pro-abortion, pro one-child-per-family enabler of the Red Chinese, Heinz Alfred Kissinger, Jr., a complete disciple of the anti-population Rockefellers who gave him his start in public life. Also present was the thrice “married” Catholic pro-abort, pro-perversity former Mayor of the City of New York, Rudolph William Giuliani, each of the pro-abortion, pro-perversity United States Senators from New York—Charles H. Schumer, a Talmudist, and Kirsten Gillebrand, a Catholic, the aforementioned Michael Rubens Bloomberg and Warren Wilhem/“Bill de Blasio,” and a countless array of dignitaries known to support all manner of social evils that send individual souls to hell for all eternity and that undermine the whole fabric of a stable and just social order.

Mind you, none of this is to indemnify the likes of Donald John Trump, who has run a deplorable campaign even on a level of pure political acumen, unable as he has been to let slights pass without comment and to accept the fact that a candidate for public office is going to be the target of accusations, both true and false, and of much criticism and ridicule. Trump’s multiple unforced errors and his seeming inability—if not unwillingness—to maintain a disciplined focus on Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton’s violations of the laws of God and man in order to aggrandize herself and secure an election based in large measure on a strategy of “running out the clock” in order to let Trump beat himself.

It is not to indemnify Trump, however, and it is not to overlook the legitimate threat that Madame Defarge poses to the authentic common temporal good of the United States of America to point out the simple fact that the man who bears the responsibility before God for providing a forum for error and confusion in order to curry favor with the wealthy of the greater New York City area is Timothy Michael Dolan. The money that was raised for Catholic Charities, itself an entity that has long played footsie with the anti-life movement (see Think Again Before Donating to Catholic Charities), is blood money.

Moreover, as sins against God are graver in the hierarchy of evils than sins against men, Timothy Michael Dolan’s well-documented offenses against the honor and majesty and glory of the Most Holy Trinity make him one of Christ the King’s most dangerous enemies on the face of earth despite his avuncular, jocular manner. Indeed, it is precisely his jocularity that makes his blasphemous heresies to be all the more repulsive as the adversary love to “charm” people to sleep as offenses are committed against the One he hates—namely, true God of Divine Revelation—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.

Timothy Michael “Cardinal” Dolan’s speech and “prayer,” if it can be called that, at the end of the 2016 Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner attests to the fact that he remains the most dangerous person present at this annual gatherings of blasphemy and religious indifferentism.

As no text is available at the time of this writing, I undertook to transcribe “Cardinal” Dolan’s remarks five days ago. I will interject at various points in the transcription below.

First Excerpt from the Dolan Speech:

Thank you. Thank you, everybody. It has been the honor of my predecessors—and now mine as Archbishop of New York to conclude this joyful and historic evening with a word of gratitude to all of you and, more solemnly, to the Lord Himself. (Clears his throat.) Pardon my congestion and cough. I’m afraid I’m comin’ down with a cold, which is completely understandable given the fact that for the last two hours I’ve had a seat between our two candidates in what is probably the iciest place on the planet. Where is global warming when you need it, right? (Transcription of Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan's Remarks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, October 20, 2018. The transcript is also available at: Fake, Phony, Fraud "Cardinal"  Dolan Blog.)

Interjection Number One:

What is “joyful” about pretending as though a woman who supports the unrestricted “right” of women to kill their preborn babies—and supports special “rights” for those engaged in grossly perverse acts in violation of the binding precepts of the Sixth and Ninth Commandments and the Natural Law itself—is fit to hold any office in the United States of America, no less that of the presidency itself.

What is “historic” about having the same bunch of titans, most of whom fund Planned Barrenhood and strictly enforce agendas of “diversity,” including the so-called “LGBTQ community” that Donald John Trump has referenced repeatedly as legitimate subgroup of the citizenry, from the worlds of commerce, finance and communication gather in 2016 when they do so year after year at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner?

Iciest place on the planet?

Who chose to host the farce that took place five days ago?

Timothy Michael Dolan. He has no one but himself to blame for what he called later an “awkward” evening as he sat between Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton and the man her husband encouraged to run against her so that they could dish out the dirt that they had collected on him, Donald John Trump.

Timothy Michael Dolan could have avoided this all. Instead, however, he fed the farce, and that is because his whole theology is an absurd face that is hideous in the sight of the true God of Divine Revelation, Christ the King.

To the second excerpt from the Timothy Michael Dolan speech:

In the name of the members of the devoted board of the Al Smith Foundation, who generously underwrite this endeavor, and who carefully distribute and account for the fruits of this great dinner, I thank all of you. Secretary Clinton and Mr. Trump, distinguished leaders in religion and public service, commerce, education, communication, healthcare, charity and philanthropy, here graciously present on our dais and in this radiant ballroom: Two other persons are here with us this happy evening, everybody. The first are those thousands of women and children in this city we cherish as our earthly home who will benefit from the proceeds of this event. (Applause.)

I’m talkin’ about the African-American mom in The Bronx eager for a scholarship to get one of her children into one of our renowned inner city Catholic schools.

I’m talkin’ to the troubled young mother needing support and encouragement to bring the tiny baby in the sanctuary of her womb to birth. (Very slight applause.)

I’m talkin’ of the Mexican immigrant mom approaching our Catholic Charities for help in uniting her family and obtaining citizenship, English language instruction and job training.

None of these brave women could afford a ticket to the Al Smith Dinner as it is more than they make in a month, but they’re sure grateful that you could because as of tomorrow, thanks to all of you, six million dollars will begin to flow out to lift them up.

Interjection Number Two:

Timothy Michael Dolan is a moral coward.

As is the case with almost every “bishop” of the counterfeit church of conciliarism, noting a very few exceptions here and there, the layman named Timothy Michael Dolan, who is one of thousands of men whose clerical attire is but a perverse charade that the adversary uses to fool Catholics into accepting as possessing true Holy Orders, stoops to make a moral equivalence between the deliberate, intentional killing of an innocent baby in her mother’s womb, an act that is a direct violation of the Fifth Commandment’s unconditional prohibition against the taking of an innocent human life, with providing assistance to a Mexican immigrant, whether in this country legally or not, to obtain citizenship. Sovereign nations have the duty to protect the integrity of their borders and to assure an orderly process of immigration so as to assure the safety and health of its citizenry. There is no moral equivalence between the direct, intentional killing of an innocent human life and providing citizenship to someone in this country illegally.

This kind of false moral equivalence plays directly into the narrative of pro-abortion Catholics, and it is part and parcel of the so-called “consistent ethic of life” that was articulated by the late, nefarious Joseph “Cardinal” Bernardin, a true bishop but a phony-baloney “cardinal,” at Fordham University in The Bronx on December 6, 1983. Moreover, this kind of false equivalence reaffirms Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton’s praise of her “Jesuit trained” running mate, United States Senator Timothy Michael Dolan Kaine (D-Virginia), as one who, like “Pope Francis,” “builds bridges, not walls.”

Indeed, Dolan’s attempt to “balance” Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton’s support for abortion and Donald John Trump’s opposition to a policy of “open borders” that is designed of its nation to undermine national sovereignty and to make it impossible for “haters” (those opposed to baby-killing, perversity, and unconstitutional or illegal actions designed to augment the power of those who hold civil office) to thwart their plans at any point in the future.

Consider what Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton herself had to say in her closing remarks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner on Thursday, October 20, 2016, the Feast of Saint John of Cantius:

And when I think about what Al Smith went through it’s important to just reflect how groundbreaking it was for him, a Catholic, to be my party’s nominee for president. Don’t forget – school boards sent home letters with children saying that if Al Smith is elected president you will not be allowed to have or read a Bible. Voters were told that he would annul Protestant marriages.

And I saw a story recently that said people even claimed the Holland Tunnel was a secret passageway to connect Rome and America, to help the Pope rule our country.

Those appeals, appeals to fear and division, can cause us to treat each other as the Other. Rhetoric like that makes it harder for us to see each other, to respect each other, to listen to each other. And certainly a lot harder to love our neighbor as ourselves.

I believe how we treat others is the highest expression of faith and of service. I’m not Catholic. I’m a Methodist, but one of the things that we share is the belief that in order to achieve salvation we need both faith and good works. And you certainly don’t need to be Catholic to be inspired by the humility and heart of the Holy Father, Pope Francis. Or to embrace his message.’

His message about rejecting a mindset of hostility, his calls to reduce inequality, his warnings about climate change, his appeal that we build bridges, not walls.

Now as you may know, my running mate, Tim, is Catholic and went to Jesuit schools, and one of the things he and I have talked about is this idea from the Jesuits of the Magis, the more, the better. But we need to get better at finding ways to disagree on matters of policy while agreeing on questions of decency and civility. How we talk to each other, treat each other, respect each other. (Transcript of Madame Defarge's Remarks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, October 20, 2016.)

An Observation before returning to Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan:

While Alfred Emanuel Smith was well intentioned. He was shaped by Americanism, and he was bemused when asked by a Protestant attorney, Charles Marshall, whether he supported the doctrine of the Social Reign of Christ the King as defended by Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas, December 11, 1925. Smith, who had a fourth grade education, said, “What the hell is an encyclical.” He championed separation of Church and State and the “American way” of religious liberty, preparing the way for John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s infamous address to the Houston Baptists Association on September 12, 1960, the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary. (This was all outlined very carefully nine years ago in Cut From the Same Cloth and Still Cut From The Same Cloth.)

Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton is very clever. She knew that she was appealing to a crowd of her fellow “believers” in the ways of statism, moral relativism, globalism, feminism, globalism, environmentalism, pantheism, evolutionism, hedonism, heathenism, materialism, naturalism, and Pelagianism. She seemed like a “rational” human being who was intent on “building bridges” despite the fact that she will use bludgeon those of who us who oppose her once she is sworn into office on Wednesday, January 20, 2017.

Civility?

Decency?

Wasn’t it Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton who referred to those who supported Donald John Trump as a “basket of deplorables”?

Civility and decency are Judeo-Masonic code words that serve as nothing but parallel one-way streets for the likes of the Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton and Timothy Michael Dolan Kaine. Adherents of the false opposite of the naturalist “left,” much like the Bolesheviks for whom they have such an affinity, define terms to their own benefit. Remember, “peace” to the dictators of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics meant agreeing with their plans for worldwide aggression. Those who opposed such aggression were the “war-mongers,” of course.

Finally, insofar as Madame Defarge is concerned, to follow the example of “Pope Francis,” a man who is at war with every article of the Catholic Faith, is to permit oneself to be led down the path to eternal perdition. He does not believe that those, such as Clinton and Kaine, who support the  daily slaughter of the innocent preborn by chemical and surgical means are disqualified from the holding of public office, and to follow his example in this is to show oneself to be as much as an enemy of Christ the King as he has ever been throughout the course of his twisted life.

Now, with that out of the way, one can see how Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan’s effort to make a moral equivalence between baby-killing and illegal immigration serves to buttress and affirm the likes of Hillary Rodham Clinton and Timothy Michael Dolan Kaine.

With this in mind, therefore, it is time to return to the next part of Timothy Michael Dolan’s speech at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner on Thursday, October 20, 2016, the Feast of Saint John of Cantius:

And the other Person Who is really with us here this evening, the Lord.  (Transcription of Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan's Remarks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, October 20, 2018. The transcript is also available at: Fake, Phony, Fraud "Cardinal"  Dolan Blog.)

The Lord?

Blasphemy.

It is generally the case that Catholics reserve the use of the word Lord to refer to the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The collects of the Immemorial Mass generally use the word Deus in the nomintiave singular (and its declensions, Dei, Deo, Deum) to refer God the Father and various declensions of the word Dominus (e.g. Domini, Domino, Dominum, Domine) to refer to His Co-Equal and Co-Eternal Divine Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Although Timothy Michael Dolan would later refer to “His Son Jesus,” it is clear that he meant to invoke the term “Lord” in an ecumenical sense so as not to give “offense” to those present who do not believe in the Sacred Divinity of the Divine Redeemer, Christ the King.

Such a shameful, Judeo-Masonic effort has been condemned by the authority of the Catholic Church. In particular, Pope Pius XI explained that we do use the name of God generically but to refer to the one and only true God, the Most Blessed Trinity:

Beware, Venerable Brethren, of that growing abuse, in speech as in writing, of the name of God as though it were a meaningless label, to be affixed to any creation, more or less arbitrary, of human speculation. Use your influence on the Faithful, that they refuse to yield to this aberration. Our God is the Personal God, supernatural, omnipotent, infinitely perfect, one in the Trinity of Persons, tri-personal in the unity of divine essence, the Creator of all existence. Lord, King and ultimate Consummator of the history of the world, who will not, and cannot, tolerate a rival God by His side.

No faith in God can for long survive pure and unalloyed without the support of faith in Christ. "No one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father: and who the Father is, but the Son and to whom the Son will reveal Him" (Luke x. 22). "Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou has sent" (John xvii. 3). Nobody, therefore, can say: "I believe in God, and that is enough religion for me," for the Savior's words brook no evasion: "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son hath the Father also" (1 John ii. 23) (Pope Pius XI, Mit Brennender Sorge, March 17, 1937.)

Ah, remember, my very, very, very few readers, that it was Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan, who said nearly six years ago that one can refer to God however he desires:

Thanksgiving is a time of the year when people are open to the Lord, and we don't think about ourselves. We're grateful to God. We're conscious that somebody, some call him or her, whatever you want, somebody beyond us is in charge, and we are immensely grateful. (Is 'Superman' Catholic?)

Pope Leo XIII reminded us in Immortale Dei, November 1, 1885, that the religious indifferentism of the "pluralistic" civil state of Modernity results in the triumph of a spirit of practical atheism as the lowest common denominator over the course of time:

To hold, therefore, that there is no difference in matters of religion between forms that are unlike each other, and even contrary to each other, most clearly leads in the end to the rejection of all religion in both theory and practice. And this is the same thing as atheism, however it may differ from it in name. Men who really believe in the existence of God must, in order to be consistent with themselves and to avoid absurd conclusions, understand that differing modes of divine worship involving dissimilarity and conflict even on most important points cannot all be equally probable, equally good, and equally acceptable to God. (Pope Leo XIII, Immortale Dei, November 1, 1885.)

The First Commandment means nothing to the conciliar revolutionaries as they endorse every false religion imaginable by placing one strange God after another before them:

I am the LORD thy God: thou shalt not have strange Gods before me.

Wait, however.

As one can expect, it got worse with Dolan's speech five days ago:

He’s told us in the Scriptures that we Jews and Christians and Moslems cherish that He’s in the midst of any event characterized by love, care, concern, and service.  (Transcription of Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan's Remarks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, October 20, 2018. The transcript is also available at: Fake, Phony, Fraud "Cardinal" Dolan Blog.)

Interjection Number Four:

This is quite a revealing statement.

"We Jews"?

Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan always love to pay obeissance to a dead, superseded religion. Indeed, his slobbers like a Saint Bernard dog over Talmudism and its adherents.

Consider what he said within a week of being installed as the fourth conciliar "archbishop" (and first layman) of the Archdiocese of New York on April 15, 2009, as he visited the headquarters of the Christphobic agent of religious and moral evil, the Anti-Defamation League arm of B'Nai Brith:

This is awesome for me," Archbishop Dolan said.  "I have long admired the work of the Anti-Defamation League from afar, and now to receive your welcome and your assurances of our hope for future cooperation, which I enthusiastically share, means very much to me."(Press Release of the Anti-Defamtion League, April 22, 2009.)

The "work" of the "Anti-Defamation League" of B'Nai Brith has included, of course, the promotion of the chemical and surgical assassination of innocent preborn children and of "marriage" for those of the same gender. The "Anti-Defamation League," whose president, Abraham Foxman, denounced The Passion of the Christ as "anti-Semitic" and who has denounced both Bishop Richard Williamson, the Society of Saint Pius X and the unreformed Good Friday Prayer for the Jews and the Immemorial Mass of Tradition as anti-Semitic, has filed amicus curiae briefs in various cases to promote baby-killing and perversity under cover of the civil law. (See the compendium as found in Silence for a review of some of the legal briefs by the Anti-Defamation League in support of immorality).

As bad that was, however, Dolan's address at Talmudic synagogue of the pro-abortion, pro-perversity "reform" variety on February 24, 2013, just before he headed to Rome to participate the selection of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as the sixth in the line of antipopes that have fooled Cathtolics and non-Catholics alike since the "election" of Angelo Roncalli/John XXIII on October 28, 1958, the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude. Please see the Appendix below for the text of his remarks and my own comments about them at the time.

To refer to "we Jews, Christians and Moslems" is to assert that belief in the Incarnation, Nativity, Hidden Years, Public Life and Ministry, Passion, Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Our Lord into Heaven is a matter of complete indifference to the sanctification and salvation of human souls. It is to make a mockery of Sacred Scripture as Talmudists do not believe in what Protestants call the "aprocryphal books," the Talmudists, who are governed by the blasphemous Talmud, and the Mohammedans, who are governed by the equally blasphemous Koran, are united as one in rejecting the Sacred Divinity of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and in making war against Christendom in the past and of assuring that there can be no return to what "Saint John Paul II" referred to disparagingly as "triumphalism." 

In plain English, ladies and gentlemen, Timothy Michael Dolan is a heretic. So is Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and so is Timothy Michael Kane for that matter. 

To the next excerpt from "Cardinal" Dolan's address of five days ago now:

He’s in the midst of any event characterized by love, care, concern, and service. (Transcription of Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan's Remarks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, October 20, 2018. The transcript is also available at: Fake, Phony, Fraud "Cardinal" Dolan Blog.)

Where can it be found in Sacred Scripture that Timothy Michael Dolan's "Lord" can be found "in the midst of any event characterized by love, care, concern, and service"? 

We are not to hold fellowship in matters of religion with unbelievers, no less to "pray" with them for any reason as interdenominational "prayer" is abominable in the sight of the Most Blessed Trinity:

8. This being so, it is clear that the Apostolic See cannot on any terms take part in their assemblies, nor is it anyway lawful for Catholics either to support or to work for such enterprises; for if they do so they will be giving countenance to a false Christianity, quite alien to the one Church of Christ. Shall We suffer, what would indeed be iniquitous, the truth, and a truth divinely revealed, to be made a subject for compromise? For here there is question of defending revealed truth. Jesus Christ sent His Apostles into the whole world in order that they might permeate all nations with the Gospel faith, and, lest they should err, He willed beforehand that they should be taught by the Holy Ghost:[15] has then this doctrine of the Apostles completely vanished away, or sometimes been obscured, in the Church, whose ruler and defense is God Himself? If our Redeemer plainly said that His Gospel was to continue not only during the times of the Apostles, but also till future ages, is it possible that the object of faith should in the process of time become so obscure and uncertain, that it would be necessary to-day to tolerate opinions which are even incompatible one with another? If this were true, we should have to confess that the coming of the Holy Ghost on the Apostles, and the perpetual indwelling of the same Spirit in the Church, and the very preaching of Jesus Christ, have several centuries ago, lost all their efficacy and use, to affirm which would be blasphemy. But the Only-begotten Son of God, when He commanded His representatives to teach all nations, obliged all men to give credence to whatever was made known to them by "witnesses preordained by God,"[16] and also confirmed His command with this sanction: "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be condemned."[17] These two commands of Christ, which must be fulfilled, the one, namely, to teach, and the other to believe, cannot even be understood, unless the Church proposes a complete and easily understood teaching, and is immune when it thus teaches from all danger of erring. In this matter, those also turn aside from the right path, who think that the deposit of truth such laborious trouble, and with such lengthy study and discussion, that a man's life would hardly suffice to find and take possession of it; as if the most merciful God had spoken through the prophets and His Only-begotten Son merely in order that a few, and those stricken in years, should learn what He had revealed through them, and not that He might inculcate a doctrine of faith and morals, by which man should be guided through the whole course of his moral life. (Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928.)

So, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics: for the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it. To the one true Church of Christ, we say, which is visible to all, and which is to remain, according to the will of its Author, exactly the same as He instituted it. During the lapse of centuries, the mystical Spouse of Christ has never been contaminated, nor can she ever in the future be contaminated, as Cyprian bears witness: "The Bride of Christ cannot be made false to her Spouse: she is incorrupt and modest. She knows but one dwelling, she guards the sanctity of the nuptial chamber chastely and modestly." The same holy Martyr with good reason marveled exceedingly that anyone could believe that "this unity in the Church which arises from a divine foundation, and which is knit together by heavenly sacraments, could be rent and torn asunder by the force of contrary wills." For since the mystical body of Christ, in the same manner as His physical body, is one, compacted and fitly joined together, it were foolish and out of place to say that the mystical body is made up of members which are disunited and scattered abroad: whosoever therefore is not united with the body is no member of it, neither is he in communion with Christ its head. (Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928.)

Lastly, the beloved disciple St. John renews the same command in the strongest terms, and adds another reason, which regards all without exception, and especially those who are best instructed in their duty: "Look to yourselves", says he, "that ye lose not the things that ye have wrought, but that you may receive a full reward. Whosoever revolteth, and continueth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the doctrine the same hath both the Father and the Son. If any man come to you and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, nor say to him, God speed you: for he that saith to him, God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works". (2 John, ver. 8)

Here, then, it is manifest, that all fellowship with those who have not the doctrine of Jesus Christ, which is "a communication in their evil works" — that is, in their false tenets, or worship, or in any act of religion — is strictly forbidden, under pain of losing the "things we have wrought, the reward of our labors, the salvation of our souls". And if this holy apostle declares that the very saying God speed to such people is a communication with their wicked works, what would he have said of going to their places of worship, of hearing their sermons, joining in their prayers, or the like?

From this passage the learned translators of the Rheims New Testament, in their note, justly observe, "That, in matters of religion, in praying, hearing their sermons, presence at their service, partaking of their sacraments, and all other communicating with them in spiritual things, it is a great and damnable sin to deal with them." And if this be the case with all in general, how much more with those who are well instructed and better versed in their religion than others? For their doing any of these things must be a much greater crime than in ignorant people, because they know their duty better. (Bishop George Hay, The Laws of God Forbidding All Communication in Religion With Those of a False Religion.)

The spirit of Christ, which dictated the Holy Scriptures, and the spirit which animates and guides the Church of Christ, and teaches her all truth, is the same; and therefore in all ages her conduct on this point has been uniformly the same as what the Holy Scripture teaches. She has constantly forbidden her children to hold any communication, in religious matters, with those who are separated from her communion; and this she has sometimes done under the most severe penalties. In the apostolical canons, which are of very ancient standing, and for the most part handed down from the apostolical age, it is thus decreed: "If any bishop, or priest, or deacon, shall join in prayers with heretics, let him be suspended from Communion". (Can. 44)

Also, "If any clergyman or laic shall go into the synagogue of the Jews, or the meetings of heretics, to join in prayer with them, let him be deposed, and deprived of communion". (Can. 63) (Bishop George Hay, (The Laws of God Forbidding All Communication in Religion With Those of a False Religion.)

God is offended by ecumenical events such as the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner that gives places of esteem and honor to His sworn enemies, those who have infilitrated the buildings and the structures that belong to the Catholic Church in order to propagate a false religion that is perfectly consonant with the dictates of Protestantism and its offshoot, Judeo-Masonry.

Dolan then went on to state "the Lord's "Son," Jesus, was in their midst as well:

His Son Jesus is in our midst.

His Bride, the Church, is honored to host event affirming the dignity of the human person and the sacredness of all human life, so please stand and join me in a final prayer: (Transcription of Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan's Remarks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, October 20, 2018. The transcript is also available at: Fake, Phony, Fraud "Cardinal" Dolan Blog.)

Interjection Number Five:

One will notice that Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan was careful not to refer to “the Lord’s” Divine Son or to refer to his title as the Christ, that is, the anointed one, the Messias. To do this, obviously, would have been to offend Jews, Mohammedans Hindus, Buddhists, agnostics and atheists.

No, “Cardinal” Dolan, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour does not celebrate such events as the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner when it gives a forum and reserves places of honor to those who believe that it is their mission in life to impose their moral relativism in place of any concept of objective theological or moral truth. Then again, the whole purpose of the conciliar revolution is to make it appear that there is no such thing as objective theological or moral truth, something that Jorge Mario Bergoglio has made eminently clear time and time again in the past forty-three months, twelve days.

It is an offense against all truth to say that an event that honors pro-aborts, especially as the master of ceremonies for the evening, Alfred Emanuel Smith IV, congratulated Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton on giving a “fantastic” speech, is somehow promoting the “dignity of the human person and the sacredness of all human life.

Excuse me, Mr. Smith. You are precisely six months older than I am. Perhaps it is time for you to be introduced to something that is truly Catholic:

Those who hold the reins of government should not forget that it is the duty of public authority by appropriate laws and sanctions to defend the lives of the innocent, and this all the more so since those whose lives are endangered and assailed cannot defend themselves. Among whom we must mention in the first place infants hidden in the mother's womb. And if the public magistrates not only do not defend them, but by their laws and ordinances betray them to death at the hands of doctors or of others, let them remember that God is the Judge and Avenger of innocent blood which cried from earth to Heaven. (Pope Pius XI, Casti Connubii, December 30, 1930.)

What about a "fantastic" to this, Mr. Smith? 

Can you not see that you have praised a woman is headed for hell if she does not repent and convert to the true Faith before she dies.

Shame on you, sir, if you do not see that this is so.

There is no "civility" to those are indecent enough to support baby-killing and who indemnify the sin of Sodom, something that Donald John Trump, of course, has done on several ocasions during this campaign season.

It is now time to provide you with Timothy Michael Dolan's "prayer" before making some concluding observations:

(Dolan makes the Sign of the Cross privately)

We praise you, Lord, for our faith, families and our friends. Our call to serve those in need.

We are grateful to be citizens one nation under God, who acclaim this evening that in God we trust.

Bless our two candidates, our benefactors, and those whom the Al Smith Foundation has been honored to serve for seven decades.

Guide us safely home, this evening and for all eternity, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

God bless, and thank you.

(Dolan starts to give a blessing, then just makes the Sign of the Cross privately.)  Transcription of Timothy Michael Kaine Dolan's Remarks at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, October 20, 2018. The transcript is also available at: Fake, Phony, Fraud "Cardinal" Dolan Blog.)

Sixth and Final Interjection:

Let me reiterate the fact Timothy Michael Dolan is a big, fat moral coward.

Catholics must always begin prayer with the Sign of the Cross, and they do so in public verbally and audibly.

The late Father John Anthony Hardon, S.J., who tried to make the best of the conciliar revolution but was hated by “progressive” Jesuits for refusing to be one of them, said at an Ignatian spiritual conference he gave in early-1979 at the Church of Saint Ignatius on Park Avenue in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York, that “Catholics must start their meals when in public with the Sign of the Cross as they say grace audibly so as to be heard by those around them. Do you understand me? Let me repeat myself: Catholics must start their meals when in public with the Sign of the Cross as they grace audibility so as to be heard by those around them, and they are to end their meals with the Sign of the Grace and the prayer of thanks thereafter. We can never be ashamed of the Sign of the Cross or of our Catholic prayers in public.

Timothy Michael Dolan is so ashamed as the best he could muster five days ago now was to make the Sign of the Cross privately to Himself without invoking the Names of the Persons of the Most Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost—verbally.

Shameful coward.

As to the substance of the prayer, it can be noted with relative brevity that there was no substance. It was simply another conciliar exercise of community self-congratulations, which is unsurprising because that is what the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service was designed to be from its very planning stages nearly fifty years ago now.

Dolan’s closing line about guiding those at the dinner home “this evening” and “for all eternity” conflicts with the brutally harsh reality of the doctrine expressed so clearly in Cantate Domino, which was issued under the authority of Pope Eugene IV at the Council of Florence on February 4, 1442,  concerning the eternal fate of heretics and infidels:

It firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics cannot become participants in eternal life, but will depart “into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels” [Matt. 25:41], unless before the end of life the same have been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong that only to those remaining in it are the sacraments of the Church of benefit for salvation, and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of Christian service produce eternal reward, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church. (Pope Eugene IV, Cantate Domino, Council of Florence, February 4, 1442.)

The Council of Florence met under the Divine protection and infallible direction of the Third Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Ghost, Who is immutable.

Yet it is that the conciliar revolutionaries, including, of course, Jorge Mario Bergoglio and the likes of Timothy Michael Dolan, believe that the formulation of dogma is “conditioned” by the historical circumstances of its pronouncement, something that requires “re-examination” in light of “changed” circumstances. 

Is there any need to explain how this is nothing other than the same dogmatic evolutionism that was condemned by the [First] Vatican Council, by Pope Saint Pius X in Pascendi Dominci Gregis, September 8, 1907, and in The Oath Against Modernism, September 1, 1910, and by Pope Pius XII in Humani Generis, August 12, 1950?

Good. I thought you had read this enough so that it might have made an impression by now!

And now, my very few readers, you understand why the most dangerous person on the dais at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner on Thursday, October 20, 2016, was Timothy Michael Dolan, not anyone else, no, not even Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.

Concluding Observations

It was noted earlier in this long commentary that has been four full days in the making that conciliarism has “baptized” the heretical agenda of Protestantism and the Christophobic agenda of Judeo-Masonry, particularly as it relates to the overthrow of the Social Reign of Christ the King and the institutionalization of the “Reign of Man.”

The conciliar revolutionaries want us to believe that all is well with Protestantism and with Talmudism even though the former was used by the latter to do its bidding in the making of a “new world order” without any reference to Christ the King, and, of course, without any kind of recognition, no less submission to, the authority of His true Church, the Catholic Church, in all that pertains to the good of souls.

William Thomas Walsh, summarizing the plight of Spain a century after the death of the holy Queen Isabella, whose “canonization” in the conciliar structures was put into the deep freezer by Karol Josef Wojtyla/John Paul II at the specific request of Talmudists, noted that  the Marranos, secret Jews, and the Conversos (false converts from Judaism to Catholicism who remained Jews nevertheless) spread themselves out over Continental Europe and to England, which they helped to make the major military, financial and political capital of the world in order to quash the influence of Catholicism once and for all:

“There can be no doubt,” says the Jewish Encyclopedia, “that the decline of Spanish commerce in the seventeenth century was due in large measure to the activities of the Marranos of Holland, Italy and England, who diverted trade from Spain to those countries. . . . When Spain was at war with any of those countries, Jewish intermediation was utilized to obtain knowledge of Spanish naval activity. Furthermore, it appears from the same source that the Spanish Conversos who settled in London acquired within a century an almost complete monopoly of English trade with the Levant, the Indies, Brazil, and especially with the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal. They formed an important link in the network of trade spread especially throughout the Spanish and Portuguese world by the Marranos or secret Jews. Their position enabled them to give Crowell and his secretary Thurloe, important information as to the plans of Charles Stuart in Holland and of the Spaniards in the New World. Outwardly they passed as Spaniards and Catholics; but they held prayer meetings at Cree Church Lane, and became known to the government as Jews by faith.”

There is a suggestion here of a fascinating and unexplored chapter of history, in which the tragic figure of the wandering Jew, defeated in his attempt to destroy the Catholic Church, and build a New Jerusalem on its ruins in medieval Spain, is seen playing a large part in bringing low the greatest Catholic nation of Europe at the moment of its final triumph, and transferring the dominion of the seas and of world politics to the anti-Catholic power of modern England. It would be interesting to know to what extent they instigated or encouraged the revolt in the Netherlands which Philip II attempted to suppress by the Inquisition. That they had something to do these matters is highly probable, for they supported Calvinism and other anti-Catholic movements just as they had the primitive heresies and the Mohammedanism of the Middle Ages. It is one of the curiosities of history that they paid off the score of the Spanish Inquisition at the strategic moment when Spain, in spite of all her phenomenal powers of recuperation, had exhausted herself at last like a good mother in the stupendous effort to colonize and civilize vast portions of the western hemisphere. (William Thomas Walsh, Isabella of Spain: The Last Crusader, published originally by Robert McBride and Company in 1930 and republished by TAN Books and Publishers in 1987, pp. 466-467.)

This is very important to understand in light of the ongoing battle of false opposites that will end with its very predictable conclusion (whether that predictable conclusion is reached by means of actual votes or by fraud—or, as most likely will be the case, a very energetic and toxic combination of the two in order to assure a “landslide” for Madame Defarge).

The Protestant Revolution in England took a course in the direction of Calvnism in the Seventeenth Century that directly influenced the settlement of many of English colonies up and down the Atlantic seaboard of what became the United States of America, especially in the New England region. Calvinism, as has been pointed out on this site endless numbers of time—and was pointed out in Conversion in Reverse: How the Ethos of Americanism Converted Catholics, is little more than a slightly “Christianized” version of Judaism, which is why there has always been such an affinity between the adherents of the Calvinist heresy and the infidelity that is the false, superseded religion of Judaism in its Talmudic expression.

It was vital for Protestants and Jews in the most of the English colonies to persecute Catholics and to repress Catholicism with the full force of the law, and it was vital for them to enshrine “religious liberty” in the Constitution so as to ensnare Catholics in the belief that all would go well for them if they simply kept quiet about their religion in public life and accepted the American “civil religion” of religious indifferentism. This religious indifferentism benefitted Jews greatly as the devil, who is the architect of all false religions and false religious activity, knew that Catholics would be coopted over the course of time into viewing the Church through the eyes of world rather than viewing the world through the eyes of the true Faith. This scheme of things was bound to produce public indifferentism as the lowest common denominator in civil discourse, and this, of course, has been on full display during this election cycle as in the past—and it was on full display at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner five days ago. Sadder still is the fact the legendary Governor Al Smith, who did lose the Presidency to the dour Quaker, Herbert Clark Hoover, in 1928 because of his Catholicism, believed in the very errors that would bring us to the point we find ourselves now. He was but a product of Americanism even though he did not think that there could be any possible conflict between the American concept of “religious liberty” and the integrity of the Catholic Faith and/or the authority of Catholic Church.

The entire Protestant English enterprise was seized by Jews, who were instrumental in forming the Grand Lodge of York Rite Masonry in England in 1717 (see Out of the Mouths of the Freemasons Themselves for a Masonic source to buttress this statement), and the scheme of the American founding principles and the Constitution itself was designed the advance the interests of the Jews and to assure their “right” to participate in public life without being forced to take an oath of some kind of belief in a generic office. This is one of the reasons for the prohibition of a religious oath as found in Article VI of the Constitution as it provided access to Jews and to the “freethinkers” to hold public office without “harassment” from any kind of clergy, whether false or true.

William Thomas Walsh amplified his point about influence of the Sephardic Jew on Continental Europe and England in footnote eight of Chapter XXII of book on Queen Isabella: The Last Crusader, explaining how Oliver Cromwell was influenced by these Jewish merchants and spies:

8. Jewish Encyclopedia Vol. V., p. 168. “Cromwell was by no means unacquainted with the resources and wide activities of the Sephardic Jews of the Continent,” says Albert M. Hyamson in his History of the Jews in England, p. 176. “The Spanish and Portuguese trade was in their hands; the Levant trade also to a considerable extent. Jews had helped to found the Hamburg Bank, and were closely connected with the Dutch and West Indian Companies. As bullion merchants, also, Jews were prominent, and, in addition, many of them owned fleets of merchantmen. The second reason for Crowell’s favor was the great assistance these crypto-Jews of London and their agents on the Continent were to the government of the Commonwealth. And, when employing them on secret service, he was well aware of their true faith.” Carvajal, a secret Jew who went to England as Portuguese ambassador, was enormously wealthy, and placed a whole army of continental agents and spies at the disposal of Cromwell. The share of the Jews in promoting the Protestant Reformation is pointed out by Rabbi Lewis in Stranger than Fiction, p. 248 et seq. Luther, he observes, studied Hebrew with Reuchlin, a pupil of Jewish scholars in Italy, and the Jews, “by their very presence in Europe . . . had helped to bring the heresy into being. But once it was born, they let it severely alone.” Browne is right, too, in discerning the Liberalism is of Jewish articles. “It is little wonder that the enemies of social progress, the monarchists and the Churchmen, came to speak of the whole liberal movement as nothing but a Jewish plot,” he says on p. 305. Liberalism, he adds, “was the Protestant Reformation in the world of politics  . . . Incidentally, however, it brought complete release at least to the Jew.” The Jewish Encyclopedia recalls that Luther was said to be “a Jew at heart, and that he remarked on one occasion, “If I were a Jew I would rather be a hog than a Christian.” (William Thomas Walsh, Isabella of Spain: The Last Crusader, published originally by Robert McBride and Company in 1930 and republished by TAN Books and Publishers in 1987, pp. 466-467.)

The United States of America is a product of Protestantism and Judeo-Masonry.

The Jews helped to bring Protestantism about to attack the Social Reign of Christ the King and the authority of the Catholic Church, and they used the example of how well this attack worked, especially in the United States of America and Belgium, to achieve their greatest—albeit transitory—victory: the creation of a false religion, conciliarism, under the guise of Catholicism to do its bidding for them.

Yes, Liberalism is of Jewish origin, and Americanism was both an expression of Liberalism and an important, though not exclusive, means to point the way to conciliarism.

No wonder we are saddled with the likes of Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, Donald John Trump and, much more importantly, of course, Jorge Mario Bergoglio and Timothy Michael Dolan.

It is not for noting that the great defender of the Social Reign of Christ the King, Louis Edouard “Cardinal” Pie, who was the Bishop of Poitiers, France from from May 23, 1849, to the time of his death on May 18, 1880, wrote the following about the American and Belgian systems as expressions of the Universal Israelite Alliance as found in a book on his works by Father Father Théotimede Saint Just and translated from the French into the English by Mr. Daniel Leonardi:

In fine, Cardinal Pie insists:

"Christianity would not be divine if it were to have existence within individuals but not with regard to societies."

Fr. de St. Just asks, in conclusion:

"Could it be proven in clearer terms that social atheism conduces to individualistic atheism?". . . .

"Neither in His Person," Card, Pie said in a celebrated pastoral instruction, "nor in the exercise of His rights, can Jesus Christ be divided, dissolved, split up; in Him the distinction of natures and operations can never be separated or opposed; the divine cannot be incompatible to the human, nor the human to the divine. On the contrary, it is the peace, the drawing together, the reconciliation; it is the very character of union which has made the two things one: 'He is our peace, Who hat made both one. . .'  (Eph. 2:14). This is why St. John told us: 'every spirit that dissolveth Jesus is not of God. And this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh: and is now already in the world' (1 John 4:3; cf. also 1 John 2:18, 22; 2 John: 7). "So then, Card. Pie continues, "when I hear certain talk being spread around, certain pithy statements (i.e., 'Separation of Church and State,' for one, and the enigmatic axiom 'A free Church in a free State,' for another) prevailing from day to day, and which are being introduced into the heart of societies, the dissolvent by which the world must perish, I utter this cry of alarm: Beware the Antichrist."

Fr. de St. Just adds:

"Accordingly, the Bishop of Poitiers had always fought against THE SEPARATION OF Church and State. Moreover, he opposed all separations, that of reason and faith, of nature and grace, of natural religion and revealed religion, the separation of the philosopher and the Christian, of private man and public man. He saw in all these [separations] a resurgence of Manichean dualism and he had fought all these with, the supreme argument, the law formed by Christ. Therefore, it is in all truth, writing to [Minister of the Interior] the Count of Presigny, that he could render this testimony:

'We have nothing in common with the theorists of disunion and opposition of two orders, temporal and spiritual, natural and supernatural. We struggle, on the contrary, with all our strength against these doctrines of separation which is leading to the denial of religion itself and of revealed religion.'"

Fr. de St. Just returns at this point and introduces us to what is perhaps Msgr. Pie's strongest language, with regard to this entire subject:

"To this doctrine of the Church, which Msgr. Pie brought to the mind of the rulers of nations, the liberals would oppose acts favoring separation.

"Certain countries, Belgium and America, for example, haven't they proclaimed the separation of Church and State, and doesn't the Church enjoy a more complete liberty under such a system?"

Cardinal Pie responded firmly to this question:

'THE AMERICAN AND BELGIUM SYSTEM, this system of philosophical-political indifference, shall eternally be a bastard system" (pp. 122-124 in Fr. de St. Just's book) (Selected Writings of Selected Writings of Cardinal Pie of Poitiers, Catholic Action Resource Center, Orlando, Florida, October, 2007, pp. 21-23.)

None other than Pope Saint Pius X used the writings of Cardinal Pie of Poitiers to help him explicate Catholic Social Teaching as a bishop in Mantua, Italy, and Venice, Italy, before he did so upon his elevation to the Throne of Saint Peter on August 3, 1903:

"[St.] Pius X, giving audience in the French seminary, declared to have 'often read and re-read' the works of Cardinal Pie . . . . This veneration of [St.] Pius X for the great Bishop of Poitiers is demonstrated for us by this account found in Canon [Paul] Vigue's 'Select Pages of Cardinal Pie': "A priest from Poitiers has recalled that one day he had the honor of having been introduced into the cabinet of the Supreme Pontiff, [St.] Pius X, in the company of a religious who was also from Poitiers. 'Oh! the diocese of Poitiers," the Holy Father exclaimed, raising his hands, when he heard the name Poitiers mentioned. "I have almost the entire works of your Cardinal,' the saintly Pontiff continued, 'and, for years, there has hardly been a day that I have not read some of its pages.' (Selected Writings of Selected Writings of Cardinal Pie of Poitiers, Catholic Action Resource Center, Orlando, Florida, October, 2007, testimonial pages.)

Our true popes have warned us of the dire consequences that would befall men if they and their nations endorsed the falsehoods of “liberty of conscience” and “religious liberty” (see Appendix B below).

We are seeing the ultimate consequences of these falsehoods with our very own eyes, and we should take heed to recognize this chastisement for what it is and to rejoice that God Himself has chosen us, despite our own sins and unworthiness, to be alive in these perilous times to suffer bravely as the consecrated slaves of His Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The Feast of the Universal Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ is but five days away! Let us make haste to prepare for this feast by giving thanks to Him for choosing us to be serve Him in these our days as we protect ourselves at every moment of our lives with the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel that His Most Blessed Mother gave to Saint Simon Stock seven hundred sixty-five years ago now, and as use the weapon that the same Blessed Virgin Mary gave to Saint Dominic de Guzman in 1208 to crush all heresies, her Most Holy Rosary, with confidence and joy.

Fear near those who can kill the body. Fear only the one who can kill the body and soul and throw both into Gehenna, and to vanquish this eternal foe of our salvation and the sower of chaos in our souls and thus in the world, may we live lives of reparation and mortification so that we will be ready to meet the time of active, overt persecution that awaits us as confident champions of Christ the King as we rely upon so tenderly upon the maternal intercession of His Most Blessed Mother, she who is our Immaculate Queen.

What are we waiting for?

Viva Cristo Rey! Vivat Christus Rex!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for us.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saint John the Evangelist, pray for us.

Saints Chrystanthus and Daria, pray for us.

Appendix 

From "You're Not Supposed to Say This," March 1, 2013

Timothy Michael Dolan's departure from the Catholic Faith includes in a very special way a constant obeisance that he pays the ancient enemies of Christ the King and His Holy Church, something that he demonstrated amply in the speech that he gave at the Lincoln Square Synagogue on Sunday, February 24, 2013:

Shabbat Shalom!

Thank you so much for your generous invitation and warm welcome. What an honor and a joy to be with you here at the historic and renowned Lincoln Square Synagogue.

Long have I been aware of the prominence of this community, as, during my graduate studies at the Catholic University of America, our course in American Religious History featured attention to Modern Orthodox Judaism, its flagship synagogue here, and the foundational efforts of Rabbi Shlomo Riskin.

Now what a privilege it is to be a part of the celebration of welcome as we thank God for this splendid new sanctuary! As your psalms pray, “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who toil!” So, praise God:

I’d say “Alleluia” but I can’t because for us Catholics it’s our penitential season of Lent, and we can’t say that “A-word” until Easter!

Can I get a little personal here? Today is the fourth anniversary of my appointment by Pope Benedict XVI as archbishop of New York.

Four happy years…and the Jewish community of New York is one of the big reasons why. From the start you have welcomed and embraced me. I love you; I respect you; I need you; I thank you.

Tomorrow, the second Sunday of Lent, we always have the Gospel account of what we call the Transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor. There, the Jewish fisherman, the Jewish first pope, St. Peter, said to Jesus, “It is good for us to be here.”

Those words I make my own this morning.

I also appreciate the encouragement this visit gives me in my efforts to repair and restore another historic house of prayer and worship, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral. Don’t worry: I’m not going to ask for money—while recognizing what a tradition that is in both of our religions—although I do happen to have some pledge cards on me!

This beautiful occasion this morning might be a providential occasion to celebrate as well the common values we as Jews and Catholics deeply cherish. Can I mention just two?

One would be the high importance of the Sabbath: you begin with sundown on Friday and go through Saturday; we start with sundown on Saturday and go through Sunday.

We both do it with humble obedience to the Lord’s command, following His own example of rest after the labor of creation, don’t we?

I propose that our fidelity to the Sabbath is good for us, and good for the world.

It’s good for us as we individually, and as a religious community, need worship, prayer, and fellowship to keep our spirits focused and our faith fervent.

A wise mentor once told me, “Science teaches us that the earth is not the center of the universe. Faith teaches me that neither am I.”

God and others come first. The weekly reminder of the Sabbath.

I suppose that’s the message to be found in the startling decision of Pope Benedict XVI to leave the Chair of St. Peter. It’s not about an office, the pomp, the prominence, the prestige, the Holy Father hints, but about Jesus and His Church. It’s really all about God.

That’s what you and I profess every Sabbath! That’s good for us; that’s good for our culture.

Two, we both value love and service. Just ten days ago, on Ash Wednesday, as we began our forty days of fervent prayer, penance, and acts of charity in preparation for our high holy days, the fifty thousand folks who came through Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, heard the words of your prophet, Isaiah.

“This is the worship and fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own.”

Jesus won’t let me brag about such work that we as Catholics do, since, on that same day, Ash Wednesday, He told us in the Gospel that our good works should be done in secret.

But, I sure can congratulate you for the radiant love, service, and works of charity and justice you do! We’re all impressed by your effective food and clothing drives, your Red Cross blood drives, your community outreach and weekly bags of bread to the West Side Campaign Against Hunger. And we sure appreciated the partnership of the UJA with Catholic Charities in the Feeding Our Neighbors Campaign three weeks ago.

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta observed, “There’s a word for faith without love, and that word is a sham.”

And Bl. John Paul II, who so loved you, remarked, “Men and women today learn much more from witness than from words.”

God bless you, Lincoln Square Synagogue, for the radiant witness of your love which make genuine the words of praise we express on the sabbath! (The Gospel in the Digital Age.)

I will take a few selected excerpts from this piece of diabolically-inspired piece of emotionalism in order to make a few brief comments as I am already way, way, way, way past my bedtime.

Excerpt Number One:

I love you; I respect you; I need you; I thank you, (The Gospel in the Digital Age.)

Brief Comment:

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ wants to effect the conversion of the all non-Catholics, including adherents of the Talmud, to the true Faith. He loves all men in that He wills their eternal good, which is the salvation of their immortal souls as members of the Catholic Church. Authentic love is not an expression of naturalistic sentimentality or emotionalism. It wills the good others. In this regard, you see, Timothy Michael Dolan is a false friend to the congregation at Lincoln Square Synagogue as he did not seek their conversion to the true Faith and expressed "respect" for those who adhere to a false religion that denies Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's Sacred Divinity and his hideous in his sight, a false religion whose Biblical ancestor was abolished when He breathed His last breath on the wood of the Holy Cross and the curtain in the Temple was torn in two as the earth shook and quaked.

Respect?

You're not supposed to do this, Timothy Dolan.

Let's turn to Saint John Chrysostom to handle this one:

Let that be your judgment about the synagogue, too. For they brought the books of Moses and the prophets along with them into the synagogue, not to honor them but to outrage them with dishonor. When they say that Moses and the prophets knew not Christ and said nothing about his coming, what greater outrage could they do to those holy men than to accuse them of failing to recognize their Master, than to say that those saintly prophets are partners of their impiety? And so it is that we must hate both them and their synagogue all the more because of their offensive treatment of those holy men." (Saint John Chrysostom, Fourth Century, A.D., Saint John Chrysostom: Eight Homilies Against the Jews.)

Many, I know, respect the Jews and think that their present way of life is a venerable one. This is why I hasten to uproot and tear out this deadly opinion. I said that the synagogue is no better than a theater and I bring forward a prophet as my witness. Surely the Jews are not more deserving of belief than their prophets. "You had a harlot's brow; you became shameless before all". Where a harlot has set herself up, that place is a brothel. But the synagogue is not only a brothel and a theater; it also is a den of robbers and a lodging for wild beasts. Jeremiah said: "Your house has become for me the den of a hyena". He does not simply say "of wild beast", but "of a filthy wild beast", and again: "I have abandoned my house, I have cast off my inheritance".But when God forsakes a people, what hope of salvation is left? When God forsakes a place, that place becomes the dwelling of demons.

(2) But at any rate the Jews say that they, too, adore God. God forbid that I say that. No Jew adores God! Who says so? The Son of God says so. For he said: "If you were to know my Father, you would also know me. But you neither know me nor do you know my Father". Could I produce a witness more trustworthy than the Son of God?

(3) If, then, the Jews fail to know the Father, if they crucified the Son, if they thrust off the help of the Spirit, who should not make bold to declare plainly that the synagogue is a dwelling of demons? God is not worshipped there. Heaven forbid! From now on it remains a place of idolatry. But still some people pay it honor as a holy place. (Saint John Chrysostom: Eight Homilies Against the Jews)

I need you?

Need?

You're not supposed to do this, Timothy Dolan.

Timothy Michael Dolan "needs" adherents of the Talmud?

To what end?

Human respect and his own self-esteem, that's what end.

What was this moron doing, asking the adherents of the Talmud for their support in the 2013 "conclave" so that they could pray to the devil who controls their religion to have him be the successor of Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI? As it turns out, Talmudists of the reform vareity got an even better 

Excerpt Number Two:

Tomorrow, the second Sunday of Lent, we always have the Gospel account of what we call the Transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor. There, the Jewish fisherman, the Jewish first pope, St. Peter, said to Jesus, “It is good for us to be here.”

Those words I make my own this morning. (The Gospel in the Digital Age.)

Brief Comment:

Blasphemy!

Utter and complete blasphemy.

"Good for us to be here."

You're not supposed to do this, Timothy Dolan.

Saint John Chrysostom, would you mind repeating yourself here?

(3) If, then, the Jews fail to know the Father, if they crucified the Son, if they thrust off the help of the Spirit, who should not make bold to declare plainly that the synagogue is a dwelling of demons? God is not worshipped there. Heaven forbid! From now on it remains a place of idolatry. But still some people pay it honor as a holy place. (Saint John Chrysostom: Eight Homilies Against the Jews)

Timothy Michael Dolan's whole speech revolved around the blasphemous assertion that God is worshiped at Lincoln Square Synagogue. To enter such a place is forbidden and carries with it an censure of automatic excommunication:

The spirit of Christ, which dictated the Holy Scriptures, and the spirit which animates and guides the Church of Christ, and teaches her all truth, is the same; and therefore in all ages her conduct on this point has been uniformly the same as what the Holy Scripture teaches. She has constantly forbidden her children to hold any communication, in religious matters, with those who are separated from her communion; and this she has sometimes done under the most severe penalties. In the apostolical canons, which are of very ancient standing, and for the most part handed down from the apostolical age, it is thus decreed: "If any bishop, or priest, or deacon, shall join in prayers with heretics, let him be suspended from Communion". (Can. 44)

Also, "If any clergyman or laic shall go into the synagogue of the Jews, or the meetings of heretics, to join in prayer with them, let him be deposed, and deprived of communion". (Can. 63) (Bishop George Hay, (The Laws of God Forbidding All Communication in Religion With Those of a False Religion.)

Excerpt Number Three: 

Jesus won’t let me brag about such work that we as Catholics do, since, on that same day, Ash Wednesday, He told us in the Gospel that our good works should be done in secret.

But, I sure can congratulate you for the radiant love, service, and works of charity and justice you do! We’re all impressed by your effective food and clothing drives, your Red Cross blood drives, your community outreach and weekly bags of bread to the West Side Campaign Against Hunger. And we sure appreciated the partnership of the UJA with Catholic Charities in the Feeding Our Neighbors Campaign three weeks ago.

Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta observed, “There’s a word for faith without love, and that word is a sham.”

And Bl. John Paul II, who so loved you, remarked, “Men and women today learn much more from witness than from words.”

God bless you, Lincoln Square Synagogue, for the radiant witness of your love which make genuine the words of praise we express on the sabbath! (The Gospel in the Digital Age.)

Radiant love?

Works of charity and justice?

Charity and justice?

What about the chemical and surgical assassination of innocent preborn children in their mothers' wombs?

"Modern Orthodox Judaism" seems to support such killing in at least some instances, although one would be hard-pressed to find any statement of the fact on its website. Obviously, its rabbis support the chemical assassination by means of contraception.

Does that matter to Timothy Michael Dolan?

Of course not.

Timothy Dolan departs from the Catholic Faith in this as does in almost everything else, which is why he may have a chance, however slim it appears, to be a possible new universal public face of apostasy.

You're not supposed to do any of this, Timothy Dolan.

Moreover, Timothy Michael Dolan has no problem at all with the fact that "Modern Orthodox Judaism" supports Zionism, whose founder was addressed in direct terms by Pope Saint Pius X one hundred nine years ago now:

POPE: We are unable to favor this movement [of Zionism]. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem—but we could never sanction it. The ground of Jerusalem, if it were not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot answer you otherwise. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people.

HERZL: [The conflict between Rome and Jerusalem, represented by the one and the other of us, was once again under way. At the outset I tried to be conciliatory. I said my little piece. . . . It didn’t greatly impress him. Jerusalem was not to be placed in Jewish hands.] And its present status, Holy Father?

POPE: I know, it is disagreeable to see the Turks in possession of our Holy Places. We simply have to put up with it. But to sanction the Jewish wish to occupy these sites, that we cannot do.

HERZL: [I said that we based our movement solely on the sufferings of the Jews, and wished to put aside all religious issues].

POPE: Yes, but we, but I as the head of the Catholic Church, cannot do this. One of two things will likely happen. Either the Jews will retain their ancient faith and continue to await the Messiah whom we believe has already appeared—in which case they are denying the divinity of Jesus and we cannot assist them. Or else they will go there with no religion whatever, and then we can have nothing at all to do with them. The Jewish faith was the foundation of our own, but it has been superceded by the teachings of Christ, and we cannot admit that it still enjoys any validity. The Jews who should have been the first to acknowledge Jesus Christ have not done so to this day.

HERZL: [It was on the tip of my tongue to remark, “It happens in every family: no one believes in his own relative.” But, instead, I said:] Terror and persecution were not precisely the best means for converting the Jews. [His reply had an element of grandeur in its simplicity:]

POPE: Our Lord came without power. He came in peace. He persecuted no one. He was abandoned even by his apostles. It was only later that he attained stature. It took three centuries for the Church to evolve. The Jews therefore had plenty of time in which to accept his divinity without duress or pressure. But they chose not to do so, and they have not done it yet.

HERZL: But, Holy Father, the Jews are in a terrible plight. I do not know if Your Holiness is aware of the full extent of their tragedy. We need a land for these harried people.

POPE: Must it be Jerusalem?

HERZL: We are not asking for Jerusalem, but for Palestine—for only the secular land.

POPE: We cannot be in favor of it.

[Editor Lowenthal interjects here] Here unrelenting replacement theology is plainly upheld as the norm of the Roman Catholic Church. Further, this confession, along with the whole tone of the Pope in his meeting with Herzl, indicates the perpetuation of a doctrinal emphasis that has resulted in centuries of degrading behavior toward the Jews. However, this response has the “grandeur” of total avoidance of that which Herzl had intimated, namely that the abusive reputation of Roman Catholicism toward the Jews was unlikely to foster conversion. Further, if, “It took three centuries for the Church to evolve,” it was that very same period of time that it took for the Church to consolidate and launch its thrust of anti-Semitism through the following centuries.

HERZL: Does Your Holiness know the situation of the Jews?

POPE: Yes, from my days in Mantua, where there are Jews. I have always been in friendly relations with Jews. Only the other evening two Jews were here to see me. There are other bonds than those of religion: social intercourse, for example, and philanthropy. Such bonds we do not refuse to maintain with the Jews. Indeed we also pray for them, that their spirit see the light. This very day the Church is celebrating the feast of an unbeliever who became converted in a miraculous manner—on the road to Damascus. And so if you come to Palestine and settle your people there, we will be ready with churches and priests to baptize all of you. (Marvin Lowenthal, The Diaries of Theodore Herzl.)

Yes, Timothy Michael Dolan's "departure" from proper form in the "Eucharistic prayer" he prayed in a chapel at the North American College in Rome where he was rector was nothing new. He departs from the Holy Integrity of the Sacred Deposit of Faith on multiple points. He is truly a motor mouth representative of the first generation trained in the imprecision of apostates during and after the "Second" Vatican Council.

Tell you what, Timmy, my boy, you and your false religion are a sham. And insofar as finding out that the "chair is vacant," it's been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII on October 9, 1958. Timmy, ya oughta read The Chair is Still Empty. Like, wow, man.

Appendix B

The Popes Against Religious Liberty

For how can We tolerate with equanimity that the Catholic religion, which France received in the first ages of the Church, which was confirmed in that very kingdom by the blood of so many most valiant martyrs, which by far the greatest part of the French race professes, and indeed bravely and constantly defended even among the most grave adversities and persecutions and dangers of recent years, and which, finally, that very dynasty to which the designated king belongs both professes and has defended with much zeal - that this Catholic, this most holy religion, We say, should not only not be declared to be the only one in the whole of France supported by the bulwark of the laws and by the authority of the Government, but should even, in the very restoration of the monarchy, be entirely passed over? But a much more grave, and indeed very bitter, sorrow increased in Our heart - a sorrow by which We confess that We were crushed, overwhelmed and torn in two - from the twenty-second article of the constitution in which We saw, not only that "liberty of religion and of conscience" (to use the same words found in the article) were permitted by the force of the constitution, but also that assistance and patronage were promised both to this liberty and also to the ministers of these different forms of "religion". There is certainly no need of many words, in addressing you, to make you fully recognize by how lethal a wound the Catholic religion in France is struck by this article. For when the liberty of all "religions" is indiscriminately asserted, by this very fact truth is confounded with error and the holy and immaculate Spouse of Christ, the Church, outside of which there can be no salvation, is set on a par with the sects of heretics and with Judaic perfidy itself. For when favour and patronage is promised even to the sects of heretics and their ministers, not only their persons, but also their very errors, are tolerated and fostered: a system of errors in which is contained that fatal and never sufficiently to be deplored HERESY which, as St. Augustine says (de Haeresibus, no.72), "asserts that all heretics proceed correctly and tell the truth: which is so absurd that it seems incredible to me." (Pope Pius VII, Post Tam Diuturnas, April 29, 1814, POST TAM DIUTURNAS)

"This shameful font of indifferentism gives rise to that absurd and erroneous proposition which claims that liberty of conscience must be maintained for everyone. It spreads ruin in sacred and civil affairs, though some repeat over and over again with the greatest impudence that some advantage accrues to religion from it. "But the death of the soul is worse than freedom of error," as Augustine was wont to say.When all restraints are removed by which men are kept on the narrow path of truth, their nature, which is already inclined to evil, propels them to ruin. Then truly "the bottomless pit" is open from which John saw smoke ascending which obscured the sun, and out of which locusts flew forth to devastate the earth. Thence comes transformation of minds, corruption of youths, contempt of sacred things and holy laws -- in other words, a pestilence more deadly to the state than any other. Experience shows, even from earliest times, that cities renowned for wealth, dominion, and glory perished as a result of this single evil, namely immoderate freedom of opinion, license of free speech, and desire for novelty.

Here We must include that harmful and never sufficiently denounced freedom to publish any writings whatever and disseminate them to the people, which some dare to demand and promote with so great a clamor. We are horrified to see what monstrous doctrines and prodigious errors are disseminated far and wide in countless books, pamphlets, and other writings which, though small in weight, are very great in malice. We are in tears at the abuse which proceeds from them over the face of the earth. Some are so carried away that they contentiously assert that the flock of errors arising from them is sufficiently compensated by the publication of some book which defends religion and truth. Every law condemns deliberately doing evil simply because there is some hope that good may result. Is there any sane man who would say poison ought to be distributed, sold publicly, stored, and even drunk because some antidote is available and those who use it may be snatched from death again and again? (Pope Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos, August 15, 1832.)

"But, although we have not omitted often to proscribe and reprobate the chief errors of this kind, yet the cause of the Catholic Church, and the salvation of souls entrusted to us by God, and the welfare of human society itself, altogether demand that we again stir up your pastoral solicitude to exterminate other evil opinions, which spring forth from the said errors as from a fountain. Which false and perverse opinions are on that ground the more to be detested, because they chiefly tend to this, that that salutary influence be impeded and (even) removed, which the Catholic Church, according to the institution and command of her Divine Author, should freely exercise even to the end of the world -- not only over private individuals, but over nations, peoples, and their sovereign princes; and (tend also) to take away that mutual fellowship and concord of counsels between Church and State which has ever proved itself propitious and salutary, both for religious and civil interests.

"For you well know, venerable brethren, that at this time men are found not a few who, applying to civil society the impious and absurd principle of "naturalism," as they call it, dare to teach that "the best constitution of public society and (also) civil progress altogether require that human society be conducted and governed without regard being had to religion any more than if it did not exist; or, at least, without any distinction being made between the true religion and false ones." And, against the doctrine of Scripture, of the Church, and of the Holy Fathers, they do not hesitate to assert that "that is the best condition of civil society, in which no duty is recognized, as attached to the civil power, of restraining by enacted penalties, offenders against the Catholic religion, except so far as public peace may require." From which totally false idea of social government they do not fear to foster that erroneous opinion, most fatal in its effects on the Catholic Church and the salvation of souls, called by Our Predecessor, Gregory XVI, an "insanity," viz., that "liberty of conscience and worship is each man's personal right, which ought to be legally proclaimed and asserted in every rightly constituted society; and that a right resides in the citizens to an absolute liberty, which should be restrained by no authority whether ecclesiastical or civil, whereby they may be able openly and publicly to manifest and declare any of their ideas whatever, either by word of mouth, by the press, or in any other way." But, while they rashly affirm this, they do not think and consider that they are preaching "liberty of perdition;" and that "if human arguments are always allowed free room for discussion, there will never be wanting men who will dare to resist truth, and to trust in the flowing speech of human wisdom; whereas we know, from the very teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ, how carefully Christian faith and wisdom should avoid this most injurious babbling."

"And, since where religion has been removed from civil society, and the doctrine and authority of divine revelation repudiated, the genuine notion itself of justice and human right is darkened and lost, and the place of true justice and legitimate right is supplied by material force, thence it appears why it is that some, utterly neglecting and disregarding the surest principles of sound reason, dare to proclaim that "the people's will, manifested by what is called public opinion or in some other way, constitutes a supreme law, free from all divine and human control; and that in the political order accomplished facts, from the very circumstance that they are accomplished, have the force of right." But who, does not see and clearly perceive that human society, when set loose from the bonds of religion and true justice, can have, in truth, no other end than the purpose of obtaining and amassing wealth, and that (society under such circumstances) follows no other law in its actions, except the unchastened desire of ministering to its own pleasure and interests?" (Pope Pius IX, Quanta Cura, December 8, 1864.)

The only world that really matters is eternity. Social order, no less than national security, can never be established while a nation’s citizens wallow in lives in unrepentant sins, which are protected and promoted both here and abroad by the civil government.
