1. Mankind is divided into two.
Today, the whole human race is divided into two. It was not so before, but, today, in a very specific time in history described by the Fathers as the 'sixth day,' mankind is divided into two groups. There is no third alternative.
The first groups are those who do good; the word 'good' as defined by St. Augustine as 'the absence of evil.' Good and evil exist together but in 'good' there is less presence of evil.
The second group are those who do evil; the word 'evil' as defined by St. Augustine as there is absence of good in them. So it is pure evil.
This good is a supernatural spiritual good the knowledge of which is not available to all; it is only available to those who have Faith. It is a good that comes from God, alone. It is unattainable for all because it comes from God alone.
The evil is a preternatural evil. Knowledge of which is available to those who have Faith but not available to those who are evil. The evil cannot know the good; neither can it know the preternatural evil. Lucifer would fall under this category that is why most people do not believe in the devil because their intellectual capacity is below the preternatural level.
2. So here the problem arises.
If we ask the question; 'why did the shooter fire on so many people whom he does not know and who has done him no wrong?' The answer is identical to the answer to the question; 'why do people abort babies,' and why do men attack Syria and blow up the twin towers. And why do people want to assassinate Trump, Putin and old people. Why do people blow up planes and run over people on the street.
The reason is the basic rule given above; 'because they are possessed by an evil spirit that has possessed their minds. The devil thinks for them
3. The Spirit of the devil.
And Scriptures has it; the devil is a liar and a murderer. He lies all the time, just like all mass media, most politicians, actors and comedians and unfortunately like most bishops who love grand standing.
The shooting at Las Vegas had lengthy press releases on TV and until now they are asking the question; 'what was the motive?' And they only give a shallow, inarticulate, human reason that is not convincing.
The theological reason, simply said, why he did that is because he was possessed by the devil and he, merely, obeyed the devil. Period. No one will believe that reason because we will have to explain the whole theology of evil and the workings of Satan. And without Faith, no one can understand this.
4. An effort to explain.
Nevertheless let us try to explain why the shooter did what he did. Due to a life of vice, lived in secret, the devil possessed him spiritually and then commanded him to shoot at the crowd. Like, Judas, who could not do otherwise than sell Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.
Why would the devil do that? To sow fear; the fear of man. The fear of God is very good and can save a soul; but the fear of man cannot save. The fear of man is a good preparation to develop the superior fear of God but the fear or man is insufficient for the salvation of man. Thus Christ said; 'do not fear man who can kill the body but not the soul. Rather fear God who can kill both and bring both to hell.
So the devil terrorizes to develop the fear or man, which is a good preparation for the development of the fear of God. But in itself, the fear of man cannot save. So the devil through terrorism fosters the fear of man but seeing to it it does not rise up to the fear of God. So the devil terrorizes those in a concert who are not there to advance in spirituality but simply to enjoy. Such people are not there to dispose themselves to the fear of God but to enjoy; a perfect scenario for terrorizing them and destroying their souls.
The devil knows the crowd did not go there to learn how to become saints but to enjoy. They were not ready to die. The devil needs only a possessed soul to start killing these unprepared souls.
He knew whom to chose. And as the devil had planned hundreds of souls unprepared to die many of these suddenly dies. That is how the devil wanted it and that is how he got it. Though the devil cannot kill without God's permission, obviously, God allowed the devil to do what he wants.
5. On Good Friday, it seems that the devil was in complete control; but still God got some good from a great evil. Well, on Good Friday, Christ redeemed the human race and the good thief went to heaven. In spite of the diabolical scenario in Las Vegas, some good came out from it. The heroic acts of charity with people laying their lives for strangers is an evangelical act pleasing to God.
But the main lesson given by God is that we must be spiritually prepared for death by having lived a life of repentance before going to Las Vegas. Because, today, anything like that can happen anywhere whether it is Las Vegas, France, Britain or Russia. There is no other way of preparing oneself than by a life of repentance. If we get killed at least we go to heaven.
6. Again, how does the devil do it?
He terrorizes people who are enjoying life and unprepared to die. People prepared to die are not terrorized.
Satan knows that even if someone will shoot at a crowd in Las Vegas, those crowds will come back and enjoy themselves. They will not be stopped in enjoying life. This is original sin. They will continue to come, continue to be shot at and continue to go to hell. That is what the devil wants. So the suggestion to the crowd not to be intimidated and go with their normal tours of Las Vegas should continue, is a suggestion against all normal sound thinking.
The sound suggestion must be, stay home and repent before going anywhere. Oh....but this is a suggestion for Catholics. Since even Catholics will not follow it how much more the non-Catholics.
7. Understanding the man who shot.
Up to now, attempts are doing done to try to understand why he did it. The theological reason is; he had lived a life of vice unseen by men. Due to these vices he was spiritually possessed by the devil. And the devil commanded him to kill people who are the least prepared to die, a crowd watching a concert. Satan would not chose a crowd in church or at least a crowd in a grocery But a crowd who is not thinking of death at all. The acts performed by the man were acts of the spiritual faculties so no one can see them. No one can stop them. No one can see them coming. Everybody will be caught by surprise. That is how the devil wants it.
Abortion, drug addiction, terrorism, regime change, wars, etc are diabolical acts and Christ said that these things must be met with prayer and fasting. It is a spiritual war going on and the leaders assigned to lead the world in this war, the bishops, are unprepared. The casualty will be great.
8.
There is, seemingly, another war going on where angels are reducing the inhabitants of he world, Those who die in accidents, catastrophes and other natural disasters. They do not necessarily go to heaven; it all depends on the state of the souls. And so we have to return to the necessity of every soul being repentant so that when death unexpectedly come they would be ready.
It is the old message; prepare yourself for death because you do not know the time of God's visitation. Since these days are days in which there seems to be a hurrying up and where, as the Apocalypse remind us, God will greatly reduce the population of the world, then we have no choice than to prepare right now for death. How do you do that? By becoming good Catholics. And how do you do that? Our problem is that hardly any bishop is teaching us the way to do it.
So what do we do ? Return immediately to the teachings of the New Testament and its interpretation as written down in the writings of the Fathers of the Church. Pray for the grace to understand what you study. And you could be in the right direction.....and safe to return to Las Vegas.

A FATHER HAD TWO SONS. 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
1. A certain man had two sons; he came to the first and said, son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented and went.
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go sir; and went not. Whither of them twain did the will of his father? They said unto him, the first.
St. Thomas wrote that there are two kinds of bishops whom Christ commanded to work in the vineyard of the Lord saving souls. The first are those commanded by Christ to save their own souls and the souls of others. At first they said 'no.' But later on repented and went to save their own souls and the souls of others.
This first are bishops who as early prelates were commanded by Christ to become saints and save the souls of others. But as bishops were so engrossed in purely human management of their diocese, practically doing nothing spiritual in their diocese. But as they approach retirement age, they stood up and thought that they had missed the most important point in their priesthood, the salvation of their personal souls and the salvation of those in their diocese. They repent for this neglect and want to do things right, just like the first son. But they cannot because they are retired and deprived of any authority. So, in their own small way, they guide their former diocesan priests and indirectly the diocese into the way of sanctity.
They are doing the right thing now, just like the first son that was praised by Christ. But they become a pain in the ass of the new bishop who is behaving like the second son.
The new bishop is usually a man who during his training in the seminary have learned that he must be holy and he must save the souls of his parishioners. But the thrill of being a bishop blinds his eyes and he becomes a society boy trying to grow in social status and completely forgetting to be holy and save the souls of his parishes. He approves 'amores laetitia' knowing full well that it will make him popular with the vocal perverted members of the diocese. So he never teach people how to work in the vineyard of the Lord. Most priest and bishops are like the second son, St. Thomas wrote. In fact, the higher they hold post in the Vatican, the more they go against the rules of the vineyard of the Lord.
2. St. Thomas reminds us.
That when priests and especially bishops are commanded to work in the vineyard of the the Lord, it is for the sake of the people. He is commanded to work in the vineyard of the Lord for the salvation of his own soul, but more so for the salvation of other souls. This is the goal of the diocesan priests; this is unlike the religious priests whose personal goal is perfection.
3. The Gospel of the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
This post Easter- Pentecost Liturgy reminds us of the state of the kingdom of God, the Catholic Church. Today, expect most of the bishops to be like the second son who said I will go and work in the vineyard but did not go. And do not expect many of them who like the first son said 'I will not go' but repented and went.
IF you see a bishop like the first son, stick to him even if he is retired and have no canonical office. Because as Christ said; he is the one who is doing the will of the Father.
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go sir; and went not. Whither of them twain did the will of his father? They said unto him, the first.

Most priest and bishops are like the second son, St. Thomas wrote. In fact, the higher they hold post in the Vatican, the more they go against the rules of the vineyard of the Lord.
2. St. Thomas reminds us.
That when priests and especially bishops are commanded to work in the vineyard of the the Lord, it is for the sake of the people. He is commanded to work in the vineyard of the Lord for the salvation of his own soul, but more so for the salvation of other souls. This is the goal of the diocesan priests; this is unlike the religious priests whose personal goal is perfection.
3. The Gospel of the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
This post Easter- Pentecost Liturgy reminds us of the state of the kingdom of God, the Catholic Church. Today, expect most of the bishops to be like the second son who said I will go and work in the vineyard but did not go. And do not expect many of them who like the first son said 'I will not go' but repented and went.
IF you see a bishop like the first son, stick to him even if he is retired and have no canonical office. Because as Christ said; he is the one who is doing the will of the Father.

IT HAS TO BE SAID. POPE FRANCIS IS........
1. Pre-Papal visit.
Before the Papal visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines, he made a worldwide statement headlined in most local newspaper that 'dogmas are not necessary.' That was a very destructive theological statement because it destroys the very foundation of the Catholic Church that is based on dogmas and morals.
What is worse is that no bishop or priest made any comment to that statement. The Papal visit proceeded well in a purely humanly advertised visit of a man with absolutely no spiritual significance. It was pure papalotry which was unnecessary because the person of the Holy Father is enough to excite spiritual renewal in a nation visited by him.There was no need for man made public relation gimmicks.
The statement of Pope Francis that dogmas are unnecessary destroys the very structure of the Catholic Church since the very idea of the Catholic Church as the true Church, is a dogma found in the Creed. This raised doubts that Pope Francis is a true pope. This doubt was raised before the papal visit but it was squashed down by the Bishop's conference.
Things went worse when Pope Francis described Filipino women as producing babies like rabbits. Filipinos always believed that babies are blessings from God and a way of multiplying citizens for heaven. What can be bad in that? Isn't the role of the Catholic Church to multiply inhabitants for heaven?
Since that papal visit up to the present, Pope Francis himself, had provided daily proof that he is not the true Pope.
2. Proofs of being the true Pope.
The statement that there is no dogmas is a heresy and Pope Francis could be guilty of this but it does not prove he is not the true Pope. Many articles had been written showing Pope Francis guilty of many other things but they were not proofs that he is not the true Pope.
One of the best treatise on obedience to the Pope was written by Blessed John Cardinal Newman, the text used by my generation in the priesthood. It is total, heroic obedience to the Vicar of Christ. The Pope was someone with whom we related everyday. We studied his words and obeyed his every hint.
But as Blessed John Newman wrote, the Pope must first be able to present his credentials before we render him that unquestionable obedience. And what is this credentials? He must prove he is a Catholic. After this everything will follow; is he a Catholic Pope, etc.
3. Proof of Catholicity
As early as the 60s we always demanded from the Popes that he present his credentials, then we obeyed him with heroic obedience. All previous Popes had presented their credentials as Catholics until Pope Francis who sounds and acts like a Protestant. In fact, Pope Francis' favorite theologian, Cardinal Kasper just mentioned that there is no difference between the Church of Pope Francis and the Protestant sect.
In the Catholic Church there is only one proof by which all men can know that the Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ; these are the four visible signs enumerated in the Nicene Creed. There are many other ways of proving that the Catholic religion is the only true religion but they are not available to everyone since supernatural grace is needed to know and use these proofs.
God in His mercy had given these four visible signs for all men to know the true religions from all false religion. This proof had been expanded by many of the Fathers of the Church for the better understanding. A favorite expanded version of the four visible signs is St. Robert Bellarmines 15 Marks of the true Church which is a more detailed exposition of the four visible marks. For the vast majority of people, these four visible marks and its expanded version is the only visible signs God gave men to be able to know who is Catholic and who is not.
Though these visible signs are signs of a community, it can be applied to individuals. These signs are the first step applied to all candidates for canonization; the candidate must be first and foremost a Catholic. However, Pope Francis skipped this step and so non-Catholics can be canonized, which puts the whole process in doubt. It is doubtful that the next candidates for canonization are saints in heaven.
4. Present your credentials.
Blessed John Cardinal Newman's treatise on obedience to the Pope is true papal obedience. It was obedience to a man whose infallibility John Newman worked for so hard to be approved during Vatican I.
While Vatican I was working for the approval of the infallibility of the Pope, John Newman begun to have some reservations. Not that the Pope is not infallible but what if an anti-pope sits on the throne of Peter. How do you warn the people. Before Newman could make provisions for such happening, the doctrine was approved and Newman was silent. But he raised the necessity that Catholics demand from their Pope and bishops credentials that they are, at least, Catholics by presenting the universal visible signs of one, holy, Catholic and apostolic. That was a fair bargain.
5. During John Newman's time.
Bishops and priest were no longer showing signs that they were Catholics. The bishops and priest even went against Newman's move to approve the doctrine of the infallibility of the Pope. They went against him in Ireland in starting schools based on the spiritual formation of St. Benedict. Stunted in his efforts to reform the Church, he went back to live a quiet life in the Oratory.
Newman would describe the state of the Church in the world in his treatise 'The infidelity of the Church.' Here he described those whose office was to instruct the faithful as ignorant of Catholic truths. And being so, they forbid the teaching of the truths.
6. Newman's article is connected to his several treatises on the anti-Christ. Like all tradition, Newman knew that a time is coming in the Church that Good Friday will be repeated. Where most of the priest, scribes and pharisees will be against Christ. Newman knew it could happen again in his era and so did his contemporary Robert Benson. And the center of this hierarchical infidelity will be centered on an anti-pope whom Benson named Francis.
7.He was expected.
Tradition had it and the Catholic world had been waiting for him. The signs will be very clear. He will not have one of the four visible signs of the True Church. He will not have any of the 15 Marks of the true Church St. Bellarmine mentioned. He will be disobedient to the commands of Christ as evident in 'Amores Laetitia,' every statement, deed and actions he performs is contrary to Catholic teaching or Catholic behavior. His own favorite theologian, Cardinal Kasper, had observed that Francis' church is no different from the Protestant sect.
The Church had been expecting him based on the prophecies read during the post-Easter and Pentecost Liturgy as the Liturgy continuously describe the 'kingdom of God' and what kind of priests and bishops will be within her. St. Thomas described them as likened to the elder son who said he will work in the vineyard but did not go.
We cannot miss him. He is the last anti - pope who will exist side by side with the last true Pope.
8. We based the analysis of Pope Francis on a well known doctrine of the Catholic Church that is known to all and can be used by all .

Pope Benedict won't go out of mind.
1. He won't go out of Pope Francis' mind.
That Pope Francis had to call a meeting of his followers to assure him that he is the Pope. He is beginning to feel that he is not the Pope. Surveys show that more than 70% of people questioned believe that Pope Benedict is still the Pope and only 30% believe Francis is the Pope. This is getting serious. As we said in the past, this issue must be resolved because it is of the utmost importance for the life of the Church.
Imagine all those activities in the Vatican, the audiences, the Masses, etc. Those appointments, those firings, those suspensions, those apostolic exhortations, encyclicals , closing down of monasteries, firing of superiors and bishops...... are all invalid if Francis is not the Pope. Nobody seems to realize the importance of this issue, so nobody is touching it.
2. Many opinions why Benedict resigned.
But knowing Pope Benedict, his reason has to be based on Scriptures. Everybody's opinions is worth considering but because they are mere human conjecture, Benedict will never follow such a course of action. He will follow an evangelical path.
He, always does God's Will and if he does anything like what he just did, it has to be because it is God's will. And his behavior must be reflected in the Gospels.
3. The evangelical path Benedict seems to be following.
First, if he is doing God's Will, Pope Benedict should have not resigned because that is God's Will.......that he is Pope for life like like all his predecessors. And by his behaviors he really did not.
Secondly, like St Peter, the first Pope, he was approached by his people who informed him that the Vatican bureaucracy is filled with gays. Just as St. Peter was informed of a lesser problem and that the wives of the Greek widows were not fed well. And Peter the Pope said; feeding widows is not the job of the Pope. Assign deacons to do that job. My job as Pope is to pray and master the Words of God. So Peter told them, get deacons to do that job. So Benedict, in tackling the problem of gays told them; 'that is not my job. My job is to pray and master the Word of God.' Assign Bergoglio to do that job.
Thirdly then God expresses His Will to Benedict to step down for a while to allow Bergoglio to take over the problem of gays. Of course Benedict did not know that instead of solving the problem Bergoglio will enjoy it. But this is still God's Will. That Benedict step aside because it was time to test mankind. His resignation will be a perfect setting for that test.
Fourthly, like St. Peter on another boat ride amidst a strong storm, St. Peter left the boat and went to walk on the water to plead with Christ. Afterwards, Peter returns to the boat with Christ and storm settled down. Thus Benedict left the Papacy for a while to pray and plead with Christ. And will again return with Christ into the boat for a calm trip to shore.
Note that all the actions of Pope Benedict are according to the actions of St. Peter as Pope. So why was it according to God's Will that Benedict seemingly resigned? To allow the test, the entering of Bergoglio into the Church and the start of the testing of the Church.
Isn't this a difficult test? Yes. But it is the final test so it has to be a little difficult. We can only understand what is going on today in the context of a final test for mankind. We cannot look at it otherwise.
As the test is still on going, we still have Benedict to support us and pass our test. And we have Bergoglio, to make us fail our test.

Note that all the actions of Pope Benedict are according to the actions of St. Peter as Pope. So why was it according to God's Will that Benedict seemingly resigned? To allow the test, the entering of Bergoglio into the Church and the start of the testing of the Church.
Isn't this a difficult test? Yes. But it is the final test so it has to be a little difficult. We can only understand what is going on today in the context of a final test for mankind. We cannot look at it otherwise.
As the test is still on going, we still have Benedict to support us and pass our test. And we have Bergoglio, to make us fail our test.
