Blind Leading The Blind

Blind Leading The Blind

Many Blind Mice… O’ See How They Will Run!

We live in an hour where virtually every “traditionalist” is pointing their finger at the next and presenting arguments against the others.  This is not going to change.  There is this notion that somehow if all traditionalist just lay down their “arms” and join in together at the Latin Mass that somehow the Church is going to get back on the right path.  This is not going to happen as well as the intent may be.  In this hour there are far too many topics and subjects debated upon to keep any two “traditionalists” on the same page therefore I can only relay a “realist’s” opinion on the matter.  Modernism has so overtaken the Church that now the “conservative’s” are seemingly the measure of orthodoxy and all we have to do is point our finger at Francis and a few wayward cardinals and this will solve things.  This is unimaginable silliness.  Those who are currently in the “mainstream conservative traditionalist” movement are equally to blame in this blind leading the blind scenario which has been unfolding for many decades.  How can we get churchmen back on the right track?  How does the Church conquer modernism and ultimately the formalized One World Religion coming?  Brethren, the answer comes from above and is certainly divine and not human.  Sadly, men are not going to be the “catalyst” into righting the Ship.  It will come from the Hand of God who has had about enough of the compromisers and heretics, who, if He left, unchastised, would continue on in their wayward ways.

Saint Quote of the Day- Human Blindness/Pride

'But let us consider more attentively this matter namely this human blindness which takes white for black and holds pride for humility and humility for pride, and from which springs the perverse judgment which is the cause of all confusion. Let us see what pride may be. I say, according to what I see with the interior eye, pride is nothing else but an elevation of the mind to things which surpass man and are above his dignity, and whenever man abandons that which is, and which knows, and which is powerful, for that which in truth has neither existence, knowledge, nor power, this is not pride.

This degrades him, and it generates that pride accompanied by presumption, self-esteem, and arrogance which occasions so many sins against charity for the neighbor; for man believes himself to be such as he appears in his disordered mind which is so full of miseries. Therefore God says to this proud man: If thou seekest, according to the nature of the created soul, for such great things as seem at present to be good and for that happiness which belongs to earth, know that they are not, they cannot satisfy nor afford contentment seek rather in heaven, where pride is lawful, and where it is not placed in things empty and vain, but in those which are really great, which always remain and which cause a sinless pride; but if thou seekest after worthless things thou shalt never find them and shalt lost those which thou shouldst have sought.'

Fr. Voigt, "THAT I MIGHT SEE!"

 

Blindness is not simply a physical state of being; we can also be blind to the spiritual realities that surround us day after day.  Consider that Jesus is on His way to Jerusalem and He turns to you, who have proclaimed Him Son of God.  He says:  "The Son of Man will be betrayed, spat upon and killed as a thief.  On the third day He will rise."  Imagine the shock you or I might experience after we have witnessed Jesus healing lepers, opening the ears of the deaf and even raising the dead.  How can God die?  Why should He?
