What is the opposite of Chartreusings?
I always think of November as the start of a new year. Strange, right? I guess the reason for that feeling is that the first Sunday of Advent usually occurs in November. The total-Church remembrance of every single soul in the Church Triumphant and Suffering, as well as mentally consolidating the “holidays” as a totality, only add to the feeling.
I won’t insult you with the notion I have all- new thoughts about the beginning of the next, new, old, same, portentous year. But I wanted to collect some observations from this part of the world that come to mind just now. So in no particular order, here they are:
1. This (s)election is the last clear chance for what remains of the American republic. I don’t mean by that that I am ignorant of the fact that the elections are corrupt, and that they have been largely totally corrupt for AT LEAST the last 60 years. If you think they aren’t, wake up a bit and listen to Bob Dylan’s masterpiece, Murder Most Foul, on a continuous loop for 24 hours straight. What I mean is that until the Trump victory where, whatever you think of his complicity or independence, something CLEARLY did not go to plan for the satanist cabal that runs the world, there was an effort to keep the appearance of choice, normalcy, and legitimacy in the election game. It was getting pretty old anyway, but hey, remember voting for Tsar Nicholas II (the execrable John McCain, h/t to John Zmirak)? Or frontier Hindu Mitt Romney? Please. But something in the Trump election put a spanner in the works. It might be worth a year in Purgatory to have seen chief witch and suicide-machine Hillary so disappointed.
Don’t get me wrong. There absolutely will be massive election fraud next week. Massive. My observation that this is the last clear chance for what remains of the republic centers around this: are the powers that be going to go with the strategy of the illusion of choice and legitimacy, or, having never before been so close to total power, with a cowed, deathvaxxed, effeminate and obedient populace, will they simply not give a final damn about whether you know that they know that you know that they know they are lying to you and just grab total power for the foreseeable future. Until Our Lady acts or Our Lord comes again.
Which will it be? Unless they let the Republicans take back both Houses with clear majorities, then folks, we really are near the end of the thing. The country, that is. And it is a truism that every day brings us one day closer to the end of everything.
2. When will anyone do something about Bergoglio? There are still several good Bishops left. Some good Cardinals. How can anyone with a functioning brain + Catholic sensibility NOT see that this guy is an antipope and a destroyer. I sometimes wonder whether anyone would act even if Bergoglio live-streamed a gay blessing on two people in the very act of sodomy. Hello? Synod on synodality? Really? They’re just laughing at you. I shudder to think what is said at the sodomite frivolities held on Vatican grounds about our total lack of response to the (attempted— I know the Church will last until the end) destruction of the visible Church.
And, with respect for what they have protected from the wreckers for so many years, I do not exclude the SSPX from this lament. They are not in schism, true. They also have an irregular canonical status. There is a much greater latitude for them to act, even viewing things from a temporal perspective. Is the Francismercy they’ve gotten so great that they cannot say the way things are?
The emperor has no clothes! Cardinals, bishops, priests… do something! Our Lord is daily mocked and insulted!
3. It is so important to do everything possible to stay in or get in the state of grace. End of the world? Possibly. Fatima cataclysm? Likely. You could also die today from any number of causes. We are on the edge of societal collapse and Divine chastisement. It pays to take care of one’s soul.
4. Finally, in light of the above, pray fervently for the dead, the holy souls in Purgatory. This November, you might want very much their intercession for you in a time of judgement that may come very soon indeed.
Saint Louis Catholic 
Amen, brother. As Columbus said when the horizon was at its darkest, “sail on” with the blessing of God.
Well said!
I recognize that as a non-Catholic and indeed rabid anti-Catholic, Francis cannot possibly be an actual pope, since actual popes must be actually Catholic. One cannot be the head of a body of which one is not a member.
I further recognize that he’s not just a “bad father.” One must first be an actual father to be a bad father. But Francis has never been an actual spiritual father at all. His status as an impostor has nothing to do with any electoral irregularities or any attempted bifurcation of Benedict XVI’s “papacy” in 2013. Francis isn’t a father, isn’t a pope, solely because he isn’t a Catholic; and he wasn’t a Catholic long before 2013. Only actual Catholics can become actual popes.
I also recognize that since we’re divinely promised that the gates of hell shall not prevail over the actual Catholic Church, the entity now led by “Pope” Francis cannot possibly be the actual Catholic Church, since hell has clearly prevailed over it.
Finally, I recognize that it takes absolutely no legal authority whatsoever to recognize all of this manifest reality, just as one need not be a coroner to recognize a dead body. Our minds were made for truth. It’s permissible, and indeed good for us, to recognize the truth. Comfort is irrelevant. Any future legal judgment by the actual Catholic Church, which is now in the catacombs once again, will simply be a recognition of the present factual reality spitting in our faces daily.
It’s time to get real; really real. This is the true “recognize and resist” position, and it’s time for the pseudo recognize and resisters to embrace it. The “recognize and resist” position adopted by the SSPX, The Remnant, 1P5, Kwasniewski, Rorate Caeli, CFN, Crisis mag, is totally bankrupt; every day that they continue to call Francis an actual pope is a day they continue to enable his evil.
For a devastating recent critique of the false R&R position, see the following new post on the superb Novus Ordo Watch site:

I’ve often thought that the real failure we’re seeing was not Bergoglio’s “election”, but rather the sheer supineness and cowardice of the Bishops/Cardinals over the past 9 years. It’s like a body that catches a deadly disease and the immune system just fails to act.
ThomasG,
Why would you expect these “bishops” and “cardinals” not to go along with Bergoglio? Like him, they’re fully on board with Vatican II, are thus also Modernists, and are thus also rabid anti-Catholics. Like him, they’re total impostors, demonic wolves in shepherds’ clothing.
It’s time to finally accept that the entity founded at VII, now led by Jorge Bergoglio, cannot possibly be the actual Catholic Church. Why? Because this Novus Ordo Antichurch has manifestly defected from the faith. Yet we’re divinely assured that the actual Catholic Church is indefectible. Thus the entity now led by BeelzeBergoglio cannot,possibly be the actual Catholic Church.
It’s no accident that Bergoglio has renounced the title of Vicar of Christ. This is because he’s actually the Vicar of Satan. This is who those “bishops” and “cardinals” you mention are following.
Not a sede.
I have come to believe Bergoglio is not pope for this reason:
99% of the Church of Jesus have rejected his synod on synodality by not participating. This amounts to a rejection of Bergoglio himself by the whole church. This means he cannot be pope. Simple.
