CELEBRATION AND EXAMINATION OF ST. PATRICK

Saint Patrick and the “C” Word. FROM WWW.NEWCHRISTORCHAOS.COM: DR. THOMAS A DROLESKEY Posted on March 17, 2014 Today is the feast of our glorious Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint and Apostle of the Emerald Isle, Ireland. The Feast of Saint Patrick is not about leprechauns and Irish beer and pagan celebrations. It is a about a saint who sought to convert the pagans of Ireland by engaging in that which is forbidden in most instances today by the counterfeit church of conciliarism, proselytism. Saint Patrick wanted to convert the chieftains of the pagan Irish tribes in order to save their souls and thus to convert the people over whom they ruled. Saint Patrick knew that there was only one means of salvation, that provided to us in the Catholic Church that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Himself founded upon the Rock of Peter, the Pope. He sought with urgency the conversion of those to whom he was sent as a missionary to preach and to save. The glorious saint of the Emerald Isle, the Land of Erin, Saint Patrick, teaches us much about our duties as Catholics to seek the conversion of all others to the Catholic Faith. No obstacle was too great and no penance was too severe to deter him from doing the apostolic work that Pope Saint Celestine the First had given him to convert the people of Ireland out of their pagan beliefs and practices to the liberation from the power of sin and eternal death to be found exclusively in the Catholic Church. Saint Patrick was not concerned about finding “common ground” with the Druids. He was not concerned about incorporating pagan practices into the Immemorial Mass of Tradition that he offered. He was concerned about one thing and one thing alone: the subordination of all things in Irish life to the Catholic Faith without any exception whatsoever. Saint Patrick’s zeal to convert souls inspired countless others to imitate his holy example. The whole history of the Church prior to 1958 is a consistent story of one saint after another who sought to go to distant lands to bring people into the true Church, outside of which there is no salvation. Missionary zeal for souls filled the heart of Saint Francis Xavier himself, who converted the entire population of Goa, India. Missionary zeal to bring souls back into the Catholic Church prompted Saint Peter Canisius and Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, who was killed by those wretched people known as Calvinists (many of whose anti-Catholic beliefs are the foundation of the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service) to seek out the conversion of Protestants. Missionary zeal for souls impelled Saint Josaphat to seek back the lost sheep who had been lured into Orthodoxy, causing him to lose his life. This stands in sharp contrast to conciliarism’s discouragement, if not outright prohibition in many instances, of the conversion of souls to the true Faith. The Balamand Agreement, entered into by representatives of the counterfeit church of conciliarism and various representatives of Orthodoxy, specifically forbids that Saint Josaphat gave up his life to do: to convert members of the Orthodox churches to the true Faith, Catholicism: 22) Pastoral activity in the Catholic Church, Latin as well as Eastern, no longer aims at having the faithful of one Church pass over to the other; that is to say, it no longer aims at proselytizing among the Orthodox. It aims at answering the spiritual needs of its own faithful and it has no desire for expansion at the expense of the Orthodox Church. Within these perspectives, so that there will no longer be room for mistrust and suspicion, it is necessary that there be reciprocal exchanges of information about various pastoral projects and that thus cooperation between bishops and all those with responsibilities in our Churches can be set in motion and develop. (Full Text of the Balamand Statement) And then there were the saints who wanted to go to mission lands but who were prevented from doing so. Saint Anthony of Padua wanted in the worst way to be a missionary to convert the Saracens (yes, Saint Anthony wanted to convert the Mohammedans; there is that nasty “c” word again, conversion). He fell ill when arriving in North Africa and could not live his life as a missionary. Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini wanted to go China, winding up ministering to the Italians who had migrated to the United States of America at the personal behest of Pope Leo XIII himself. Missionary zeal for souls filled the heart of Saint Francis Xavier himself, who converted the entire population of Goa, India, and destroyed false idols aplenty. Saint Patrick and the other great missionaries of the Church proved themselves faithful to this injunction of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, given to the Eleven before He Ascended to the Father’s right hand in glory on Pentecost Sunday: And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And seeing them they adored: but some doubted. And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. (Mt. 28:16-20) The zeal of Saint Patrick, who personally baptized 120,000 sons and daughters of Erin, and the other great missionaries of the Church stands in sharp contrast to the demands of the novelty of false ecumenism that teaches us that we not seek the conversion of others to the true Faith. That is why we must invoke Saint Patrick’s holy intercession to bring an end to the abominations of the counterfeit church of conciliarism, which reaffirms people in false religions while no effort is made to bring them into the true Church. As has been noted frequently on this site, both the late Karol Wojtyla/ohn Paul II and Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI discouraged “proselytism” among Protestants and the Orthodox. The “preacher” to the conciliar “papal” household, Father Raniero Cantalamessa, has said, without being contradicted by His Apostateness, Benedict XVI, Antipope Emeritus, that the Catholic Church “had the lost right” to convert Jews because of the “way this had been done in the past.” Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI rejected what he calls the “ecumenism of the return,” placing him in direct and incontrovertible contradiction to the work of the Catholic martyrs mentioned above and to the very appeals for such a return made by Pope Pius IX in Iam Vos Omnes, September 13, 1868, and Pope Pius XI in Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928. Jorge Mario Bergoglio has warned constantly throughout the past year that “evangelization” is not “proselytizing,” going so far at one point to say that one must not seek to convert a non-Catholic. He has thus taken false ecumenism to the next level by obliterating all distinctions among the “world’s religions,” something that is demonstrated in today’s original article. As has been noted frequently on this site, the current “antipope emeritus” addressed Jewish rabbis many occasions now during his false “pontificate,” and he never once invited them to convert to the true Faith to save their immortal souls. Not once. Not even close. Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis is even more rabid in his support for the ancient enemies of Christ the King, who endorsed his “election” last year and have praised him with particular relish. Why not? The apostate has gone so far as to pray with his favorite pro-abortion, pro-perversity Talmudic rabbi, Abraham Skorka, straight out of the blasphemous Talmud. HIC EST ENIM CALIX SANGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET AETERNI TESTAMENTI: MYSTERIUM FIDEI: QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDETUR IN REMISSIONEM PECCATORUM. THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT: THE MYSTERY OF FAITH: WHICH IS BEING SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
