Feast of St. John the Beloved Apostle 

Every spirit that DISSOLVES JESUS [take note: not 'blots Him completely out of the picture' as one would ordinarily expect to see evil that way], is not of God: and this is Antichrist (1 John 4.12). St. John is the Apostle of Love Divine - God is Charity (1 Jn. 4.8). But because he is also and in the first place the Apostle of the Truth Divine ("the Word was God," Jn. 1.1) Who Is the true Light (Jn. 1.9), the charity welling up in his heart bids strictly against the Jews, heretics [now, the "Bible-only" sectarians], and schismatics [as the Greek 'Orthodox']: WHOEVER revolts, and continues not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God... If [he] come[s] to you, RECEIVE HIM NOT INTO THE HOUSE NOR SAY TO HIM, GOD SPEED YOU. For he who says unto him, God speed you, communicates with his wicked works (2 Jn. 9,10-11).

The Truth Divine to His Beloved Disciple: I will bring... the Synagogue of Satan.. to come and adore before [the Church's] feet (Apocalypse 3.9). Hence, St. Stephen, Deacon and Martyr (whose Feast day we celebrated yesterday, the day after Christmas Day) told the Synagogue of Satan to its very face and on its grounds the truth that would offend it to its very core - Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall CHANGE [not totally 'do away with' as the "Bible-only" sectarians pretend] the traditions which Moses delivered... (Acts 6.14). For this he was dragged out of the Synagogue and was stoned to martyrdom for the Faith authored by Christ...

Martyrdom of St. Stephen, Deacon

But not so the Neo-Catholic ecumenical 'Pontifex'... who'd rather pray with an infidel to their 'ecumenical' god: The gods of the Gentiles are devils (Ps. 95.5) - @ the Blue Mosque in Turkey ---


WHOEVER revolts, and continues not in the doctrine of Christ, has not God... If [he] come[s] to you [to our country, January 15-19], RECEIVE HIM NOT INTO THE HOUSE NOR SAY TO HIM, GOD SPEED YOU. For he who says unto him, God speed you, communicates with his wicked works (2 Jn. 9,10-11).

The Nativity of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ


The people that walked in darkness, have seen a great Light: 
to them that dwelt in the region of the shadow of death, Light is risen... 
For a CHILD is born to us, and a Son is given to us... 
and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, GOD the Mighty
the Father of the world to come, the Prince of peace
In Him was life, and the Life was the Light of men. 
The Word [Who] was God... was the true Light
which enlightens every man that comes into this world... 
(Is. 9.2,6; Jn. 1.4,1,9). 

A blessed Christmas Day to everyone!

Feast of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Guadalupe
Octave of the Immaculate Conception



Who is She that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array? (Cant. 6.9). 

She it was who delivered [the Mexican people] from the power of darkenss (Col. 1.13) - from the worship of the devil, offering him human sacrifices - and hath translated [them] into the kingdom of [Her] Son." But alas! the apostasy of a great number of Christians - embracing the 'Christ' of the Protestants or of Vatican II-'Catholicism' tailored for the New Age by the infiltrated dum[b]ies of the Synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2.9), that is, the more than "1100 men" who were Freemasons and Communists now occupying the high positions in the Church perverting so many souls unto the neo-worship of the devil (cf., our post "A Perilous 'Catholic' Voyage" and "The Year 1929").

"In your kindness, grant that those who rejoice in keeping your feasts 
may find their happiness in the radiance of the true Light."
(from the Hymn at the Office of Lauds)

A blessed Feast to everyone!

Book - "The Liberal Illusion"

"The Liberal Illusion" - Louis Veuillot's mid-19th century condemnation of liberal Catholicism throws a flood of light on the crisis of Church and world following on the Second Vatican Council.

Catholics who read "The Liberal Illusion" will grasp, once and for all, that the crisis is primarily due not to Vatican II, but to a centuries-long struggle between Revelation and Revolution. Vatican II was merely a decisive moment in that struggle when power within the Church passed from the servants of Revelation to the deluded victims of the Revolution. This edition offers readers a pictographic overview and outline in the form of a unique fold- out insert to provide them with a thread to connect together the 38 chapters.

"The Game Plan" is available on the reverse side. This chart-like analysis is a vertical breakdown of the main principles (whether they be right or wrong) and their consequential sub-principles which have become the battle cries of modernity.

Double-sided color foldout + softcover book, 146 pp.

Solemnity of the Immmaculate Conception




The Lord hath made His work known... I will extol You, O Lord, for You lifted me up, and did not let my enemies rejoice over me (Ps. 97.2; 29.2 - 9th Antiphon and Response of the 3rd Nocturn in the Office of Matins).

In the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, nowhere could Satan's proud 'liberal' head take root: Dirigite viam Domini ("Make straight the way of the Lord").

A most blessed Feast to everyone!

The "New 'Mass'" - The "Abomination of Desolation"

+

Last Sunday after Pentecost


When you shall see the abomination of desolation... in the Holy Place... flee to the mountains (Mt. 24.15,16, from today's Holy Gospel, the last Sunday after Pentecost): I will take away from them their Strength, and the Joy of their glory, and the Desire of their eyes, upon which their souls rest (Ezech. 24.25).

Pope Pius XII, when he was still Cardinal Pacelli on the abomination of desolation : "I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucia of Fatima... This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in her Liturgy.... I hear all around me innovators... who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel..... A day will come... when In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp [at the Sanctuary, indicating the Real Presence of Our Lord in the tabernacle] where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, Where have they taken Him." - See more @ Ignis Dei

Alanganin


Seventh Sunday after Pentecost 

Beware of false prophets... by their fruits you shall know them (from today's Holy Gospel, Mt. 7.15-21). It took a century before that the Synagogue-inspired leadership of the PH sect "Iglesia ni Cristo"/INC (denial of the divinity of Christ and therefore of the Most Holy Trinity) at last betrayed their Masonic spirit already symbolized by the Masonic compass and square adopted into their sect's official seal.

INC and Scottish Rite Freemasonry


They designed the Philippine Arena not only for the grand 'religious' celebration of their 100th founding anniversary by Felix Manalo on the same Protestant ground of contradiction (the Church Christ would build until the consummation had been already prevailed upon by the gates of hell) but also for secular, as well as 'ECUMENICAL', events and activities - one (University of the Philppines-Diliman) professor-columnist therefore even toyed with the idea of the antipope Bergoglio (cf., Saggitam Electam - I on the "Declaratio" of 'resignation' read by Pope BenedictXVI) being hosted there next year. When the infiltrated dumbies of the Synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2.9;3.9) in scarlet and purple (Apoc. 17.4) - the Freemasons, cf., "Anti-Christian Conspiracy - Scriptural Truth and Historical Fact" | "A Perilous 'Catholic' Voyage", and Communists, cf., "The Neo-Catholic Scandals and the Year 1929" in ceremonial ecclesiastical trappings - had their seeming victory over the Church, through the 'hijacked' Vatican II (1962-1965), eclipsing it with the "pseudo-Church", it did not take long before churches got desacralized not only by holding at the sanctuary (the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place prophesied by Our Lord in Mt. 24) the service of the "New THEO[god]..." or the Protestantized "New 'Mass'" (in loud native-tongue narrative with 'priest'-"presiders" donned in Anglican/Episcopalian or Neo-Lutheran 'Communion Service' attire reading Protestant-Talmudic Jewry formulae of 'prayers' and 'consecration') but also by being used as a MULTI-PURPOSE venue. This is the SUBTLY DECEPTIVE religion of the Antichrist (who will appear in the seventh and last age of the Church, cf., Apoc. 3.15-16) and his precursors - souls halting betweeen (cf., the kind of religious harlotry against which the Prophet Elias was raised, 3 Ki. 18.21): "mga alanganin".

St. Paul the Apostle: "We have an altar" (Heb. 13.10); INC100: 'That's superfluous!'

+


The INC ('Iglesia ni Cristo') founded by Felix Manalo in 1914 - is celebrating its 100th year [but the Church built by the Lord on Cephas is already more than two thousand years in its existence since "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."] and came up with this banner...



We have an altar (St. Paul the Apostle to the Hebrews, 13.10). Christians since the Apostolic Age render God cultic worship that is the very perfection of the Old Testament cultic rite through the perpetual oblation and sacrifice of Christ the High Priest over the house of God (Heb. 10.21) ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDECH  (Heb. 6.20) - that is, the continual oblation and sacrifice of His Body and Blood IN THE FORM OF CONSECRATED BREAD AND WINE (DISCERN... the Body of the Lord, 1 Cor. 11.29). This is the external form of perfect divine worship by Christ's inseparably and indefectibly always visible Mystical Body - the Church He already built on Cephas: the Catholic Church of consistent Apostolic Tradition (the NT Gk "paradoseis" of 2 Thess. 2.14), to distinguish it from the pseudo-Catholic Church or the so-called "New 'Catholic [Dis]Order' of Vatican II - here on earth. Whereas, the passage quoted is the other necessary part of the equation, so to speak: a perfect internal form of worship. To stress only the latter is to copy the error of the Lutherans.

"Born again... of... the Holy Ghost"

+
Pentecost Tuesday



[Peter and John] laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost (from today's Lesson, Acts 8.14-17). The Lord and Savior taught that unless a man be born again of water AND the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Jn. 3.5). Those called to the sheepfold of God are baptized either by the Apostles themselves or the Deacons they ordained; and, conferred upon the might and power of the Holy Ghost (Whom they have already received in a Catholic Trinitarian Baptism recreating them unto a new creature in the image and likeness of Christ) to withstand sin and temptations, the evil and corruption of the world, the inordinate cravings of the flesh, and the attacks, subtle and filthy snares, schemes, and suggestions of the impure rebel spirit. Those adhering to the so-called #BornAgain #IglesiaNiCristo #AngDatingDaan #JehovahWitnesses sects of perdition (2 Pet. 2.1) therefore cannot enter into the kingdom of God lacking the episcopoi ("bishops," Acts 20.28 - placed by the Holy Ghost to rule the church of God: the Apostles, who received the power to bind and loose things (Mt. 16.19; 18.18; Jn. 20.23), and their perpetual (Mt. 28.20; Jn. 14.16) successors (Acts 1.25-26).


Baptism in the Name of Jesus

Pentecost Tuesday 

"Baptized in the Name of Jesus" (from today's Lesson, Acts 8.14-17), that is the Baptism as COMMANDED by the Lord and Savior: "Baptizing them IN NOMINE PATRIS, ET FILII, ET SPIRITUS SANCTI" (Mt. 28.19). This Baptism is so-called to distinguish it from the baptism of St. John the Precursor. Thus non-Trinitarian Baptism is outrightly invalid.

Feast of Pope St. Pius V


"WE specifically command... and WE order...

NOW AND FOREVER. And let Masses NOT be sung or read according to any OTHER FORMULA than of this Missal. WE likewise declare and order that THIS OUR DECREE CANNOT BE REVOKED OR MODIFIED but REMAIN ALWAYS VALID and RETAIN ITS FULL FORCE. NO ONE WHOSOEVER, is permitted to alter this OUR decree.

(from today's Holy Gospel, Mt. 16.13-19) - "Thou shalt come to the priests of the Levitical race... and they shall shew thee the truth of the judgment. And thou shalt do whatsoever they shall say, that preside in the place... according to his law; and thou shalt follow their sentence: neither shalt thou decline to the right hand nor to the left hand" (Deut. 17.9,10,11).

Defense of Catholic Orthodoxy

+




2nd May - Feast of St. Athanasius (Bishop and Doctor of the Church): "During this time... [we] are in the outside. They have the church premises but [we] have the Apostolic Faith."

Unjustly 'excommunicated' by the Roman Pontiff and with almost the entire hierarchy infected with Arianism (IglesiaNiCristo, MgaSaksiNiJehovah, Mormons: Ang Kristo ay "TAO [lamang]" - Jn. 10.33), St. Athanasius was forced to operate outside the 'official communion' with the Holy See and even ordained priestly candidates of orthodox or sound Catholic theological formation in the dioceses of other infected-bishops to ensure that the true Catholic priesthood would survive. The faithful also who stood fast and h[e]ld (2 Thess. 2.14) the traditional teachings of the Faith, then reduced to a handful of the Scriptural remnant, had to worship outside their 'official' parish churches - the churches of those infected-priests in communion with their equally infected-local ordinaries [the local bishops] - and sought the truly orthodox Catholic teaching, the rest of the uninfected Sacraments, and sound spiritual guidance not from their local 'priests' and not from the 'bishops' of their diocese and their country who were in 'official communion' with a compromised Roman Pontiff, but from an 'excommunicated' bishop (cf., 1 Machabees 2.37) and the priests he 'illicitly' ordained. - See more @ Ignis Dei: "St. Athanasius on Catholic Tradition 'Overturned'".

"During this time... [we] are in the outside... but [we] have the Apostolic Faith" (St. Athanasius). Our Lady of Lourdes (Traditional Katolikong Pinoy) Seminary in Batangas: where priestly vocations of the Asia-Oceania "Catholic Resistance" are formed, trained, and ordained the Katoliko way as St. Athanasius did when the institutional mainstream Catholic Church in his time turned Arian - now turned Freemason-Protestant (and the mainstream-SSPX - used to lead the fight against the pseudo-Church - Neo-Catholic in principle).

St. Athanasius of today and the defense of Katoliko orthodoxy: "Catholic Resistance"

'Katoliko Faith Defenders' - Anyone?




St. Peter Verona, Martyr of the Order of Friars Preachers - conspicuous for his refutation of heretics and his singular innocence. He longed to die for the #Katoliko Faith and his prayer was heard in 1252 when a Manichaean heretic-assassin struck his head with an axe on his way to Milan.

All that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error. But continue in those things which thou hast learned, and which have been committed to thee" (2 Tim. 3.12-13,14 - DRV).

Mga 'Modernista' na mga Dominikano at Ikalawang Konsilyo Vaticano (1962-1965)

The Order of Friars Preachers (Dominicans) used to be the Church's champion of orthodoxy "par excellence" - until Vatican II when this perverted Council, launched in 1962 by the so-called 'good Pope John XXIII' and championed by the 'great Pope John Paul II', refused to refer anymore to the original "Bible-only" fundamentalists as "heretics" by calling them "Churches" ("Unitatis Redintegratio" or the "Decree on Ecumenism," n. 19) - thus, bestowing on them the dignity fitting only to Christ's true vineyard (today's Holy Gospel, Jn. 15.1-7). Vatican II contended in judgment against the Eternal Word Who: 1) would build only the "Church" (Mt. 16.18) - not 'Churches'; 2) condemned the revolters from Catholic communion by heresy as "sects of perdition" (2 Pet. 2.1); all the while the 'champions of orthodoxy' eerily fell silent in the name of 'false obedience': "dumb dogs not able to bark" (Is. 56.10) - the flaming torch in the mouth of God's 'Dalmatian' was extinguished.

The Dominicans (and those of the major religious Orders of the Church: Benedictines, Augustinians, Franciscans, Calced and Discalced Carmelites, the Jesuits) of the so-called "Vatican II-Church" were clearly robbed of their charism: solid refutation of errors. Engaging in the "Bad Romance" of Ecumenism of the pseudo-Church with false religions, they are directed to preach: 'LUV'.

Catholic Apology - Defense of the Faith: Refutation of Errors - Vatican II, and Bergoglio

Vatican II, by its document "Unitatis Redintegratio" or the so-called 'Decree on Ecumenism', also effectively barred 'empowered lay men and lay women' from rising to the office of Apologist (which is proper only to a cleric - why we call this the "New 'Catholic' DisOrder"). But these "New" 'Katoliko Faith Defenders' did not get the message why the so-called "superforce of the anti-Church lodged in the Vatican" (cf., "The Year 1929") "installed" the man Bergoglio who did not mince words: "Proselytism is a solemn nonsense" (in "La Reppublica," 1 Oct. 2013). Will they finally 'obey' their 'pontifex' as they would have us in the Catholic Resistance do?

Martes ng Ikalawang Linggo ng Mahal na Pasyon ng Panginoong Hesus

Tanong ng dakilang saserdote sa Panginoon at Tagapagligtas na si Hesukristo: Ikaw ba ang Kristo na Anak ng Pinagpalang Diyos? (Sn. Marc. 14.61). Na sinagot ng Kristo: Ako. At makikita n'yo ang Anak ng tao na lumuluklok sa kanan ng kapangyarihan ng Diyos, at dumadatal na kasama ang mga ulap ng langit (v.62). Kaya, pinunit ng dakilang saserdote ang kanyang mga kasuotan at nagwika: Ano pang dagdag na patotoo ang kailangan natin? Narinig ninyo ang kalapastanganan. Ano sa palagay n'yo? At kinondena nila Siya na dapat mamatay.

Sumasang-ayon ang mga sektang itinatag ni Manalo (#IglesiaNiCristo), Rutherford (#SaksiNiJehova), ni Smith (#Mormons), at iba pa na nagsasabing: si Kristo ay hindi Diyos kundi TAO [LAMANG]... (Jn. 10.33) - tama ang ginawa ng Sinagoga ni Satanas (Apoc. 2.9;3.9) na ang Kristo ng mga #Katoliko ay lapastangan sa Diyos at dapat ngang ipako hanggang mamatay sa Krus.


Patotoo ng Banal na Ebanghelyo ni San Juan na ang tunay na Kristo ng mga Katoliko ay Diyos rin na totoo: At yaong mga dumaan at nakakita ay nilapastangan [blasphemed] Siya: ...Iligtas Mo ngayon ang Iyong sarili na bumababa sa Krus. Ganon din ang mga punong saserdote na sinabing nanlilibak: Makita lang natin na bumababa ngayon sa Krus ang Kristo na Hari ng Israel ay maniniwala kami (Marc. 15.31,32).

Ave Maria

Unang Linggo ng Mahal na Pasyon ng Panginoong Hesus 

Sa araw na ito unang iginawad ng mga Hudyo ang sentensya ng kamatayan laban sa Anak ng Diyos na, ang nasabing sentensya, kanilang isasakatuparan sa Biyernes ng susunod na linggo sa salang paglapastangan sa Diyos (Mt. 26.65). Dumampot sila ng mga bato upang ipukol sa Kanya (Jn. 8.59). 

Bakit 'di na nakapagpigil ang mga Hudyo? Ipinahiwatig ng Kristo ang pinaka-sentrong dogma ng Pananampalatayang Katoliko - na Siya ay Diyos: Siya nawa, siya nawa, sinasabi Ko sa inyo: bago malalang si Abraham, ay siya nang Ako (Jn. 8.58) - kung gayon, ang testimonya ng sektang itinatag ni Manalo ('Iglesia Ni Cristo' o INC), ni Joseph Rutherford (Mga Saksi Ni 'Jehova'), at ni Joseph Smith (Mormons o Latter-Day 'Saints') ay hindi sa tunay na Kristo kundi sa ilusyon ng Sinagoga ni Satanas (Apoc. 2.9; 3.9): Ikaw na TAO [LAMANG] ay ginagawa mong Diyos ang Iyong sarili (Jn. 10.33).

The Doubting Neo-Catholic 'Mary'

+

Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary 



Protestant and Neo-Catholic 'Biblical' contradiction: "How CAN this be done..." (Lk. 1.34: "Paano ito MANGYAYARI...") at the same time affirming in Lk. 1.45 that She is blessed for having believed. But the Sacred Writ, on the testimony of the Church which is the pillar and ground of the truth (1 Tim. 3.15): How SHALL this be done... ("Quomodo FIET istud" in the official Catholic Latin Translations; in Filipino: "Paano ito MAGAGAWA..."). Our Lady did not question the POSSIBILITY - for "with God all things are possible" (Mt. 19.26) - but only inquired as to the HOW or the manner by which God shall accomplish the Incarnation of the Eternal Word in Her womb without prejudice to her virginity.

A most blessed Feast to everyone!

"The Great Catholic Battle"

+

The true Catholic "Great Battle" does not consist in trimming down sins - as is the shallow perception in the "New 'Catholic' Church" or the Vatican II 'Church' (and this after more than 55 years of an 'understood' New 'Mass' - which, even in its appearance, is but a Protestant fellowship-meal in the local language of church-goers); it is life-long battle against sin and its very roots: the disordered cravings of the flesh for pleasures, against pride and vanity, and against the subtle deceptions of the ancient infernal enemy - the devil - by way of allurements (half-truths and seeming goods). In this Battle, the Christ routed the ancient liar and deceiver by the Truth - but how the "New 'Catholic Church'" lost the Battle by entering into a 'respectful dialogue' with the devil (a big no, no in Exorcism) and the culture of his "New World Order": "The Great Battle" by Ignis Dei

Penitence

+

Ash Wednesday



From the liturgical point of view, this is one of the most important days of the year. In the first place, this day opens the liturgical season of Lent, which formerly began with the First Sunday and comprised only thirty-six days. The addition of Wednesday and the three following days brought the number to forty, which is that of the Lord's fast in the desert.

In the Old Law, ashes were generally a symbolic expression of grief, mourning, or repentance. In the Early Church, the use of ashes had a like signification and with sackloth formed part of the public penances. The blessing of the ashes was originally instituted for public penitents, but is now intended for all Christians, as Lent should be a time of penance for all.

The ashes used this day are obtained by burning palms of the previous year. They are blessed in the Traditional Latin Liturgy by four ancient prayers, sprinkled with holy water and incensed, and then placed in the form of the Cross on the forehead of the faithful with the words in Latin: Memento, homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris (Remember, man, that thou art dust, and into dust thou shalt return - Gen. 3.19).

...Thou art dust, and into dust thou shalt return: "We are drawn from nothing by the creative power of God, by His infinite love which willed to communicate His being and His life to us, but we cannot - because of sin - be reunited with Him for eternity without passing through the dark reality of death: consequence and punishment of sin." - Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene, C.D.

The First Traditional Ordinations in the Philippines - since the Revolution of Vatican II

+

First Saturday of the Month

When God weaned the Hebrew people away from idolatry, He did not destroy altogether the necessity of an altar in directing them to His worship. In fact, He commanded them to set before Him altars (cf., Exodus 40.24-25, 27) distinct from those dedicated by the heathens to the devils (Psalms 90.5, Douay-Rheims Catholic Version) and according to the pattern (Hebrews 9.22) He showed Moses on the mount – the figure, doubtless, of what would later be the united and perfected one altar upon which the awaited divine sacrificial Victim is still immolated, now in an unbloody manner, under the form of Bread and Wine, by Our Lord and Savior Himself, in fulfillment of His priesthood according to the order of Melchisedech (Ps. 110.4; Heb. 5.6); hence, St. Paul the Apostle says: We... have… a more perfect… altar (Heb. 13.10).

In the sanctuary of Old, the Ark of the Covenant – which contained a golden pot of manna [now, the gilded ciborium containing the Sacred Hosts], the blossomed rod of Aaron, and the two tablets of stone on which were written the Ten Commandments (Heb. 9.4) – became the meeting point, its propitiatory (Ex. 25.20,22), between God and His intimate friend among men after the spectacular manifestation at Mount Sinai where God descended at its peak or summit and spoke to Moses face to face [why the traditional Catholic priest is rather turned towards the tabernacle or the Crucifix] as a man is wont to speak to his friend (Ex. 33.11). And he who is to stand before the face of God must have the divine bidding to ascend to Him: I chose him out of all… to be my priest, to go up to My altar and burn incense to Me… (1 Kings 2.28).

Now, since the Liturgy or the official public divine service (Heb. 9.1) of the Old dispensation corresponded only to the better ministry (Heb. 8.6) of the Christian dispensation - the pattern shown to the great Legislator of Old - the man of God, in the New Covenant, is also a minister with the unction of the everlasting Levitical priesthood (Ex. 40.13), a “Christianized” Levite (cf., “Liturgy," The Catholic Encyclopledia, 1907): the Levite of Old, whom God claims to be His minister (Jeremias 33.22)… to go up to [His] altar… to serve [Him] forever (1 Paralipomenon 15.2), finding the perfect fulfillment of his public divine ministry in the Christian priest, the priest ordained according to the Traditional Roman Rite of Catholic Ordinations [Paul VI suppressed the ceremony of the minister ascending the high altar – logical consequence: the suppression also of the Minor Orders (the ceremony of tonsure, by which a man is admitted to the clergy, and even the Sub-Diaconate were also suppressed ) – in the New Rite: symbolic gesture of an unfortunate break ], who draws near face to face with the Sanctissimum dwelling at the center of the high altar – as at the summit of Mount Sinai – in the “Christianized” Ark of the Covenant, that is, the tabernacle.

The man of God – the “Christianized” Levite – being the minister of the Most High, is referred to by His Eternal Word as the angel of the Lord of hosts (Malachi 2.7). And as there is established an order, a hierarchy, among the heavenly ministering pure spirits, so there is established also an order among those who are called to minister to the King of kings and Lord of lords (1 Timothy 6.15) in His earthly temple: among the Levites of Old when they were still distinct from the priests, cf., Numbers 3.15-38, which order was brought to perfection as follows – according to the seven degrees of a more perfect ascending approach to the Sanctissimum: the four Minor Orders – of Porters, Lectors, Exorcists, and Acolytes; the three Major Orders – Sub-Diaconate, Diaconate, and the Priesthood.

Friar John, C.D. with His Lordship and two SSPX-Marian Corps
Fathers. Tanauan City, Batangas.
On the 12th of December last year, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe (the original Titular Feast of the Patron of the Philippines), Friar John, a Discalced Carmelite who was forced to leave the Novus Ordo O.C.D. Community in 2005 because of his Traditional stand on the Mass and on the priesthood, was admitted to ascend up to the fourth step of the high altar of God (Friar already spent three-and-a-half years of Traditional priestly formation at Holy Cross Seminary-Australia of the mainstream-SSPX where he received the Tonsure). Bishop Richard Williamson (an auxiliary bishop consecrated by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre to perpetuate the Traditional Catholic Priesthood) ordained him to the Offices of Porter, Lector, Exorcist, and Acolyte at the first Traditional Catholic Seminary in the country established September last year by the Fathers of the Society of St. Pius X-Marian Corps in Tanauan City, Batangas (the Seminary Community is staying temporarily in Quezon City until the construction on a donated 3-ha land in Cebu has already made a habitable progress:  +63.915.509.0855).


According to the Pontificale Romanum, by the Order of Porters, the ordinand was conferred the power of guarding the house of God “day and night” – opening its doors to the faithful and “always clos[ing] it to the unbelievers” – and of summoning with the strike of the bell the ministers of God at certain hours (the Divine Office or the recitation of the Roman Breviary) “for invoking the Name of the Lord.” By the Order of Lectors, the power to be “the proclaimer of the Word of God.” By the Order of Exorcist, “the power of imposing hands over the possessed whether baptized or catechumens; and through the imposition of hands, the grace of the Holy Ghost, and by the words of exorcism… expel demons.” And, by the Order of Acolytes, the power to “deliver [himself] up as light for the illumination of the Church [having been made to carry the torches and to light the lamps of the Church], and… to offer the wine and water for confecting the Blood of Christ… in the Eucharistic Sacrifice.”
