Vigano: There Can Be No Neutrality

11/25/2022

What can I say? The Archbishop is one of the very few within organized Christianity who gets it. If I didn't know better, I would swear His Eminence has been reading Romantic Christian blogs. Excerpted from this source (read the rest there; bold added here): 

If you start from this evidence, you will understand that it is not possible to pretend that what is happening before our eyes is solely the result of profit-seeking or the desire for power. Certainly, the economic part cannot be disregarded, considering how many people have collaborated with the World Economic Forum. And yet, beyond profit, there are unstated purposes that stem from a “theological” vision – one that is turned upside-down, it’s true, but still theological – a vision that sees two opposing sides: the side of Christ and the side of the Antichrist.


There can be no neutrality, because when there is a clash between two armies, those who choose not to fight are also making a choice that affects the outcome of the battle. On the other hand, how is it possible to recognize in your noble and high professions the admirable order that the Creator has placed in nature (from the constellations of stars to the particles of the atom) and then deny that man is also part of this order, with his moral sense, his laws, his culture, and his discoveries? How can man, who is God’s creature, presume to not be subject himself to eternal and perfect laws?

Our battle is not against creatures made of flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of evil that dwell in the heavenly places (Eph 6:12).

On the one hand, there is the City of God – the one Saint Augustine writes about – and on the other hand there is the city of the devil. We can say that in this era the city of the devil is clearly identifiable in neo-Malthusian globalism, the New World Order, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the European Union, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and in all those so called “philanthropical foundations” that follow an ideology of death, disease, destruction, and tyranny. And also in those forces that have infiltrated the institutions, which we call the deep state and the deep church.

On the other front, we must recognize that the City of God is more difficult to identify. Even the religious authorities appear to have betrayed their role of giving guidance to the faithful, preferring to serve power and propagate their lies. The very people who ought to be protecting and sanctifying souls are scattering and scandalizing them, calling good Christians rigid fundamentalists. As you can see, the attack is on several fronts, and thus it is a mortal threat for humanity, striking at both the body and the soul.

And yet, precisely at a time when it is difficult to find authoritative points of reference – both in the religious sphere as well as the temporal one – we see an ever-increasing number of those who are understanding, opening their eyes, and recognizing the criminal mind behind the evolution of events.

It is now clear that everything is linked together, without having to dismiss those who say so as “conspiracy theorists.” The conspiracy is already there: we are not inventing it, we are simply denouncing it, hoping that people wake up from this suicidal narcosis and demand that someone put an end to the global coup.

The operations of social engineering and mass manipulation have demonstrated beyond any doubt that this crime was premeditated, and how it is consistent with a “spiritual” vision of the conflict that is now unfolding: it is necessary to take sides and fight, without giving in. The Truth – which is an attribute of God – cannot be cancelled by error, and Life cannot be defeated by death: remember that the Lord, who has said of Himself, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life,” has already defeated Satan, and what remains of the battle serves only to give us the opportunity to make the right choice, to choose to do those actions which place us under the banner of Christ, on the side of Good.

I trust that this great work you are undertaking will soon bear its expected fruits, putting an end to a time of trial in which we see how the world will become if we do not turn to Christ, if we continue to think that we can coexist with evil, lying, and self-worship.

After all, the City of God is the model of those who live in God’s love, self-control, and contempt for the world; the city of the devil is the model of those who live in self-love, conforming to the world and despising God.


I thank you and bless you all.

Well Said Archbishop V!

He really is a beacon of light in these times.

I was considering sending you exactly this speech, which I found yesterday; because he mentions the coup explicitly, which I knew would please you.

Having said which; I feel that the revolutionary leaders of the coup have, as usually happens when successful, turned-upon each other in the struggle for power and loot; split the world in terms of politics/ finance/ the military; and begun to foment (Sorathic) chaos, rather than the integrated totalitarian global System they seemed set to achieve in early 2020.

None of which affects the urgent truth of Abp Vigano's main conclusion that the core issue is which side we choose.

I would personally put the nature of Christ's achieved-victory with more explicit and focused emphasis on what is at stake: our choice whether to accept, or to reject, Jesus's gift of eternal resurrected life.

I was reminded of your and Bruce's theses on individual discernment while reading this:

https://onepeterfive.com/hiding-from-mass/#comments

All I could think was, for Heaven's sake, why are you still attending and subjecting your family to this torture? Stop! Do your prayers and readings at home on Sunday. Put your tithe toward household savings--the Church clearly has no need of its devout congregants' money and your taxes already pay for a generous welfare state. The Church in its current iteration literally must disappear; it is an active hindrance to healthy spirituality.

I saw the exact same dynamic play out in the Episcopal Church. Suddenly, all the old stalwarts came back from Convention realizing their bishops hated them and that their Church had been killed and some other entity was wearing its skin. The same thing is going to happen with the Catholics; that die has already been cast.

You are correct, Vigano gets it. He gives me hope every time I read him. One reason I frequent this site (along with Bruce’s) is to receiver a breath of fresh air and dose of truth. Thanks for posting this.

The shining light for me as the household heretic. After so many fallen/ failed institutions hearing of him mid 2020 gave me a bit more hope for sure. The Dalai Lama sold out, public water cooler spirituality favorite Sadhguru sold out HARD, Tony Robbins had a petulant phase but continued to sell out later. Eckhart Tolle said some good stuff in a mid 2021 interview but went soft.

I dont particularly care about these people but they have an unfortunate grip on the world and almost no one was willing to step out of line concerning the party agreement.

It all harks back to that insane 'birdemic agreement'. Let's forget that you were ready to kill people because you were 'misinformed'. That's not how i turn my cheek, ever.
