Jerusalem Belongs to Christ the King and His Catholic Church
Note: Not an endorsement for sedevacantism
Entry of Christ to Jerusalem by Pietro Di Giovanni DAmbrogio, 1435-1440
Jerusalem belongs to Christ the King and His true Church, the Catholic Church.
Jerusalem does not belong to the Zionists of the State of Israel.
Jerusalem does not belong to observant Orthodox Jews who are opposed to Talmudism
Jerusalem does not belong to the Palestinians, although the Catholics among their number who have suffered mightily at the hands of the bloodthirsty Zionist racialists after being expelled from their homes and robbed of their land in 1948 do indeed have a right to call Jerusalem their home as it is their baptismal birthright as members of the Catholic Church.
Jerusalem does not belong to the blasphemous, lecherous pervert named Mohammed or to the adherents of the false religion he founded at the beginning of the Seventh Century A.D.
Jerusalem belongs to Christ the King and His Catholic Church.
Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ made this very point at the end of the Gospel passage that was read at Holy Mass yesterday, December 26, 2016, the Feast of Saint Stephen the Protomartyr, who was stoned to death by the Jews who had plugged their ears because they could bear to hear how he proved to them that Our Lord was indeed their very Messias:
At that time, Jesus said to the Scribes and Pharisees, Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from town to town; that upon you may come all the just blood that has been shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel the just unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar. Amen I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. Jerusalem, Jerusalem! you who kill the prophets, and stone those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you would not! Behold, your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, you shall not see Me henceforth until you shall say, Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord! (Matthew 23:34-39.)
There will never be peace in the Middle East until everyone in that region converts to the Catholic Faith and say in unison, “Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord!”
(A person who recommended that I appear on Crossfire in 1987 to discuss an outbreak of Palestinian-Israeli violence then was incredulous--perhaps "mortified" is a better word—when I said that I would say just that, that everyone involved had to convert to the Catholic Church, in a live appearance on television. Guess what? I did not appear on Crossfire.)
Every single bit of the Holy Land, including Jerusalem, was sanctified by the Incarnation, Nativity, Hidden Life, Public Life and Passion, Death, Resurrection and Ascension of Our Divine Redeemer, Christ the King.
Let me reiterate this fact: Jerusalem belongs to Christ the King and His Holy Church, not to the Zionist State of Israel or any other entity. Period.
Thus it is that all of the posturing about the “international status” of Jerusalem at the New World Order bastion called the United Nations, in Washington, District of Columbia, or Tel Aviv is so much agitation from the devil, who inspired his agents of naturalism to arrange the United Nation’s Security Council to pass a resolution condemning the government of Israel’s building of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank just two days before Christmas. The condemnation, which is certainly just in the natural order of things as far as it goes, was timed to serve as a distraction just before the celebration of the Nativity of the Divine Redeemer. And a distraction it proved to be as adherents of both organized crime families of naturalism showed a spirit of “bipartisanship” on the one issue that transcends the differences they have on the substance of various issues: unwavering support for the murderous policies of the Zionist State of Israel.
There are few instances when the likes of United States Senator Charles H. Schumer (D-New York), who will be the Senate Minority Leader in the 115th Congress when it convenes on January 6, 2017, and his opposite number, Senate Majority Leader Addison Mitchell McConnell, agree on anything. Support for the government of Israel—and for its right to exist as a nation in the first place—is one of those rare instances. Both them condemned the Security Council resolution, and both of them condemned soon-to-be former President Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro’s decision to have the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, a pro-abortion, pro-perversity Catholic who remains in perfectly good standing in the structures of the counterfeit of conciliarism, to abstain when the vote was taken, thereby making it possible for the resolution to pass by a vote of 14-0. (The five permanent members of the Security Council—Red China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States—have a veto power over all votes taken by the United Nations Security Council. Ambassador Power’s abstention meant that the resolution condemning Israel’s continued building of settlements on the West Bank could pass without an American objection.)
Consider a sampling of the reaction from Democrats and Republicans as they rose up in unison to condemn one of the few instances that the administration of Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro actually got something right, disregarding for the moment, of course, the diabolical nature of the resolution’s timing:
Congressional Democrats issued scathing statements aimed at the Obama administration over the US's abstention from a Friday UN Security Council vote demanding Israel stop building settlements in occupied Palestinian territory.
Leading Democrats from both houses called out the UN as an inappropriate venue for rejuvenating the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians. They objected to the Obama administration's departure from what they view as decades of established US policy of vetoing UN resolutions regarding Israeli settlements.
Incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said it was "extremely frustrating, disappointing and confounding" that the Obama administration failed to veto the UN's vote.
Schumer called out the UN as a "fervently" anti-Israel body, since the days of "Zionism is racism."
"Whatever one’s views are on settlements, the UN is the wrong forum to settle these issues," Schumer said.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat from Connecticut, called the US's abstention from the vote "unconscionable."
"A two-state solution must be negotiated directly between the Israelis and Palestinians, and this resolution flies in the face of this necessity," Blumenthal said.
He also said support for Israel must remain "bipartisan," and that he'll work with colleagues on "both sides of the aisle" to advance "productive measures" that strengthen the US's relationship with Israel.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, said that he would work to form a bipartisan coalition to "suspend or significantly reduce United States assistance to the United Nations."
Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, said that he was "deeply disappointed" that the Obama administration allowed such a "one-sided" resolution to pass.
"Actions like this will only take us further from the peace we all want to see," Wyden said.
And Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia said "one-sided resolutions" at the UN are counterproductive to the peace process and "achieving a two-state solution."
"I am dismayed that the administration departed from decades of U.S. policy by not vetoing the UN resolution regarding Israeli settlements," Warner said.
Rep. Eliot L. Engel, a Democrat from New York and the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he was "very disappointed" by the US's "acquiescence to a one-sided, biased resolution at the United Nations Security Council."
"I have always believed that Israel can’t get a fair shake at the UN, and that is why Israel has relied on the United States to protect it from the anti-Israel tendencies of some UN Security Council members," Engel said.
Engel further said that the text of the resolution places the "blame" for the stalled peace process between the Israelis and the Palestinians "entirely on Israel." (http:/Democrats Blast Obama for UN Vote Against Israel.)
“Conservative” Republicans were even more outraged than the Democrats quoted in the story just above:
Conservatives Friday ripped the U.N. Security Council for condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem — and the Obama administration's abstention from the unanimous vote — with Sen. Lindsey Graham threatening to cut funding to the United Nations.
"This provocative action by the United Nations is an outrage and must be dealt with sternly and forcefully," said the South Carolina Republican, who chairs a subcommittee that oversees funding to the organization. "The United States is currently responsible for approximately 22 percent of the United Nations total budget.
"The Obama-Kerry foreign policy has gone from naïve and foolish to flat-out reckless," he added. "With friends like these, Israel doesn’t need any enemies."
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said he supported Graham's call to strip the U.N. of federal funding "and reconsider aid to countries if they fail to join our opposition."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the abstention was "a failure of leadership and judgment" by President Barack Obama.
"It is highly regrettable that one of President Obama's last actions in office was again to abandon our ally Israel," the Kentucky Republican said.
House Speaker Paul Ryan called the vote "absolutely shameful."
"Today's vote is a blow to peace that sets a dangerous precedent for further diplomatic efforts to isolate and demonize Israel," the Wisconsin congressman said. "Our unified Republican government will work to reverse the damage done by this administration, and rebuild our alliance with Israel."
Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton declared that Obama was "personally responsible for this anti-Israel resolution.
"His diplomats secretly coordinated the vote, yet he doesn’t even have the courage of his own convictions to vote for it," the first-term GOP member said. "This cowardly, disgraceful action cements President Obama’s richly deserved legacy as the most anti-Israel president in American history."
In a 14-0 vote, the Security Council declared the Israeli settlements to be a "flagrant violation of international law" and to have "no legal validity."
The resolution demanded a halt to "all Israeli settlement activities," calling it "essential for salvaging the two-state solution."
The vote came a day after Egypt suddenly postponed a scheduled showdown and culminated days of frantic diplomacy in capitals around the world.
With its abstention, President Obama dismissed Donald Trump's demand Thursday that the U.S. veto the resolution and brought a climax to years of icy relations with Israel's leadership.
Trump vowed on Twitter Friday that "things will be different after Jan. 20th."
In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Jewish state "rejects this shameful anti-Israel resolution at the U.N. and will not abide by its terms."
The abstention proved to be one of the biggest American rebukes of Israel in recent memory — and it could hinder the Jewish state's negotiating position in future peace talks.
"Today's passage of [a] resolution on Israeli settlements marks another shameful chapter in the [U.N.'s] bizarre anti-Israel history," Arizona Sen. John McCain told Fox News via Twitter.
Cotton noted that President Obama vetoed a similar — "but less anti-Israel resolution" — in 2011, "when he still needed pro-Israel voters for his re-election."
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner said that Obama's abstention "marks his final betrayal of Israel.
"His days of emboldening our enemies and weakening our friends are thankfully coming to an end."
Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, called the abstention "an act of utter cowardice.
"This dramatic shift in U.S. policy leaves our strongest ally in the region vulnerable," he said.
"To make matters worse, this cowardly act — under the cover of the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays — comes when the fallout will be left to the incoming administration." (Conservatives React to UN Vote Condemning Israel.)
Theodore Herzl, the founder of international Zionism, may have been rebuffed by Pope Saint Pius X on January 25, 1904, when he sought to convince one of the greatest popes in the history of Holy Mother Church to approve of his plan to resettle Jews in Palestine, but he had great success in convincing Protestants to do his bidding for him. Indeed, Protestantism, especially of the evangelical or fundamentalist variety, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zionism, something that Father Louis J. Campbell, the Pastor of Saint Jude Shrine, documented in one of his excellent sermons on July 27, 2014, the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost and the Commemoration of Saint Pantaleon:
Since the time of the Apostles, the Holy Catholic Church has preached the Gospel by the authority granted it by Jesus Christ. The Church was preaching the Gospel years before the Four Gospels were written down, and has continued to this day to fulfill Our Lord’s command to “preach the gospel to every creature” (Mk.16:15).
The Church collected the Scriptures that make up the Bible. But the heretic, Martin Luther (1483-1546), weeded out some of the books of the Bible he didn’t like, and the Protestant version of the Bible was born. The Bible itself was then touted as the sole authority subject to the “private interpretation” of the believer, thus denying the Church’s authority to preach the Gospel and interpret the Scriptures. However, it seems “the believers” are willing to believe much that is not to be found in the Bible.
No doubt many of us are puzzled by the strange phenomenon of Christian Zionism. Many Evangelical Christians, like the Baptists, the Pentecostals and the Charismatics, are enthusiastic supporters of Jewish Zionism, although not all Jews are Zionists, and many of them dispute the Zionist claims.
The Jewish Zionist Movement was founded by Theodor Herzl in 1897. Its chief aim was the creation of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the “Land of Israel” in the Bible. The Temple would eventually be rebuilt, and the ancient religious rites resumed. Since they believe they have a right to the lands promised to Abraham by God, the Zionists have little sympathy for the Palestinians, who were squeezed into the West Bank and the Gaza strip after the creation of the Jewish State of Israel in 1948. Misusing Old Testament Scriptures, the Jewish Zionists believe they are destined to rule the world.
So what could have turned famous Protestant preachers like Billy Graham, Hal Lindsay, John Hagee and Pat Robertson, into Christian Zionists, enthusiastic supporters of the aims of Jewish Zionism? Could it have been – the Scofield Bible?
The Scofield Reference Bible is widely used in Protestant seminaries, especially among Evangelicals, such as Baptists, Pentecostals and Charismatics. Recently someone sent me an article by a Mr. C.E. Carlson about the Scofield Bible, which seems to get to the root of the problem. Much of what follows is from Mr. Carlson (http://www.serendipity.li/zionism/carlson01.htm).
One of the schemes of the Jewish Zionists was to alter the Christian view of Zionism by creating and promoting a pro-Zionist subculture within Christianity. One Cyrus I. Scofield (1843-1921) was funded by Zionist agents to re-write the King James Version of the Bible by inserting Zionist-friendly notes in the margins, between verses and chapters, and on the bottoms of the pages. It was first published in 1909 by Oxford University Press, which still holds the copyright.
Scofield produced a revolutionary book that radically changed the context of the King James Version. Oxford's promoters made the Scofield Bible, with its Christian Zionist footnotes, a standard for interpreting scripture in Christian churches, seminaries, and Bible study groups. And they all followed like sheep – even Hagee, Lindsay, Robertson, Van Impe, and the revered Billy Graham. So much for private interpretation!
After Scofield’s death, the Oxford University Press turned the Scofield Bible into a manual for the Christian worship of the State of Israel. Scofields’s un-Christian anti-Arab theology has permitted the theft of Palestine and 54 years of death and destruction against the Palestinians, with hardly a complaint from the Judeo-Christian mass media evangelists or most other American church leaders, including the so-called U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
In his Epistle to the Galatians, St. Paul contradicts the claims of the Scofield Bible:
“The promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. He does not say, ‘And to his offsprings,’ as of many; but as of one, ‘And to his offspring,’ who is Christ… For you are all the children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all who have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor freeman; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are the offspring of Abraham, heirs according to promise” (Gal.3:15b,16;26-29).
This makes it clear that to be a blood relative descended from Abraham is of no advantage to those who do not have faith in Jesus Christ. And Scofield and the Oxford University Press are liars when they try to prove that those who are known today as “Jews” are the heirs to the promises of Abraham. We read this whopper on page 1136 of the 1967 edition: “All Jews are natural descendants of Abraham…”
This is absolutely false and absurd. The great majority of the so-called Jews who control Israel today are not descendants of Abraham at all. They are the Ashkenazi Jews, descendants of the Khazars of Eastern Europe. They are imposters, with no right to the lands of the Bible! Although known as “Jews” they are such neither by blood nor by religion, because the Jewish religion their ancestors adopted in the eighth century is not the true religion of the ancient Jews of the time of Christ, but the false Talmudic Judaism which blasphemes Jesus Christ and deifies the Jewish race.
And on page 19 we find this blatant lie: “God made an unconditional promise of blessings through Abram’s seed… to the Nation of Israel to inherit a specific territory forever.
What a deception! The televangelists and their huge following have accepted this abominable lie, and have led the whole country into vassalage to the Godless modern State of Israel. Jesus Christ is Abraham’s heir, not the State of Israel. The promises God made to Abraham are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The Jewish Zionists have no true understanding of the Scriptures. And who would have thought that the “Bible believing Christians” would have stumbled after them into the darkness?
“Did you never read in the Scriptures,” said Our Lord to the Pharisees: “‘The stone which the builders rejected, has become the corner stone; by the Lord this has been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes’? Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and will be given to a people yielding its fruits” (Mt.21:42,43).
St. Paul understood it well:
“You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus himself as the chief corner stone. In him the whole structure is closely fitted together and grows into a temple holy in the Lord, in him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in the Spirit” (Eph.2:20-22). (Father Louis J. Campbell, Seventh Sunday after Pentecost.)
Father Campbell's sermon should help disabuse some of you in the readership from using any Protestant "minister" as an "authority" on anything other than how to offend the true God of Divine Revelation, the Most Blessed Trinity. The American evangelical movement is a wholly-owned enterprise of Zionism. Then again, so is the counterfeit church of conciliarism.
Obviously, it is not only Protestants who have fallen prey to the lies of the Scofield Reference Bible. Most Catholics, influenced by the religious indifferentism that has characterized social life in the United States of American since its founding and by the counterfeit church of conciliarism’s celebration of false ecumenism, accept “support for Israel” and its policies as a “duty” in order render assistance to “America’s only ally” in the Middle East.
Ah, “America’s only ally” in the Middle East was founded in blood.
The State of Israel was created by the shedding the blood of the innocent and by the stealing of the homes and land of the Palestinian Arabs who had been living there for centuries upon centuries as they, the Palestinian Arabs, were rounded up and sent to "detention centers" (concentration camps), all with the support of the government of the United States of America (which has its own interesting history of targeting civilians, including the members of various Indian tribes who simply wanted to retain custody of their own lands and, of course, the horrific fire-bombing of Dresden, Germany, on February 13-14, 1945, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on, respectively, August 6 and 9, 1945, to say nothing of the innocent civilians killed in the past six years in Iraq and those killed in Afghanistan since October 7, 2001), which supports today the terror campaign that has been launched by the bloodthirsty killers of Tel Aviv who have no regard for innocent civilians in their quest to the terror of brute military force to end a conflict that will be ended only when all of those involved are converted to the Catholic Faith and see in each other the impress of the Divine Redeemer, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and say, "Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord."
Oh, I forgot, Donald John Trump will "make things better" after January 20, 2017.
I don't think so:
President-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday that he will nominate New York bankruptcy lawyer David M. Friedman as his ambassador to Israel, saying in a statement issued by his transition office that Friedman’s “strong relationships in Israel will form the foundation of his diplomatic mission.”
Friedman said in the statement that he would work “tirelessly to strengthen the unbreakable bond between our two countries . . . and look forward to doing this from the U.S. embassy in Israel’s eternal capital, Jerusalem.”
Trump has indicated that he would overturn more than two decades of presidential waivers overriding the 1995 law mandating that the U.S. Embassy be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move weighted with heavy religious and political significance. Jerusalem’s status is contested by Palestinians and most of the world’s nations, which recognize lines drawn after the 1967 war.
A senior Trump adviser on Israel during the campaign, Friedman has been outspoken in describing as “legal” Jewish settlements in the West Bank, which every U.S. administration since 1967 has considered illegitimate.
In an interview last summer with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, he said Trump would support Israeli annexation of parts of the West Bank. He has called liberal Jews supporting a two-state solution with the Palestinians “worse than kapos,” a reference to Jews in World War II concentration camps who were assigned by Nazi guards to supervise forced labor and camp administration.
Liberal Jews have returned his views in kind. J Street, the Washington-based organization that supports a two-state solution, said it was “vehemently opposed” to the nomination.
“As someone who has been a leading American friend of the settlement movement, who lacks any diplomatic or policy credentials . . . Friedman should be beyond the pale for Senators considering who should represent the United States in Israel,” J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami said in a statement.
Calling the proposed nomination “reckless,” Ben-Ami said it puts “America’s reputation in the region and credibility around the world at risk. Senators should know that the majority of Jewish Americans oppose the views and the values this nominee represents.”
For decades, most U.S. Jewish leaders have urged Israel to seek a peace agreement with the Palestinians that would establish a separate Arab state alongside Israel.
President Obama’s failed 2013 peace effort contained an understanding that the border along the West Bank would not be the exact 1967 lines officially demanded by Arabs. Instead, it would be drawn with “mutually agreed swaps” between Israel and the Palestinian Authority to reflect the reality that some Israeli settlements are too established to be removed.
Settlements have expanded under Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who also says he wants a peace deal.
Friedman represented Trump in bankruptcies surrounding his Atlantic City casinos and has said they have been friends for 15 years. Trump, in the statement, called him “a long-time friend and trusted advisor to me.”
Involved in a number of philanthropic activities in Israel, Friedman is president of an American group set up to support Beit El, a settlement located east of the Palestinian city of Ramallah. The settlement has also received charitable contributions from the foundation headed by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner
n a column for the Jerusalem Post before the election, Friedman wrote that a Hillary Clinton presidency would ensure U.S. demands for an immediate suspension of settlement activity, giving “new life . . . into all of the worst anti-Israel and anti-Semitic movements” and flooding the United States with “Syrian and other refugees,” some of whom “will turn to domestic terrorism.”
“In contrast,” he wrote, “there is virtually zero risk that the foregoing parade of horribles will occur under a Trump administration. Quite the contrary, under president Trump, Israel will feel no pressure to make self-defeating concessions, America and Israel will enjoy unprecedented military and strategic cooperation, and there will be no daylight between the two countries.”
A founding partner of the New York law firm Kasowitz Benson Torres and Friedman, Friedman is a 1981 graduate of New York University School of Law. The transition office statement noted that his bar mitzvah was held at the Western Wall in Jerusalem 45 years ago, and described him as “a fluent speaker of Hebrew and a lifelong student of Israel’s history.” (Trump Picks A Supporter of West Bank Settlements for Ambassador to Zionist State of Israel.)
(CNSNews.com) – Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday night put the U.N. Security Council resolution – which effectively declares Israel’s presence in the Old City of Jerusalem to be illegal – into historical context, pointing to the longstanding Jewish heritage there.
Speaking against the backdrop of the Western Wall, Netanyahu lit a candle for the second night of Hanukkah, the holiday that marks the rededication of the Temple after a Jewish revolt against a pagan kingdom almost 2,200 years ago.
“According to the U.N. resolution, the Maccabees did not liberate Jerusalem, they occupied Palestinian territory,” Netanyahu said. “According to the U.N. resolution, the villages that they started out from in the Modi’in area [north-west of Jerusalem], those villages and that area were occupied Palestinian territory.”
“Of course the Palestinians arrived much later,” he declared. “We were here much earlier.”
Netanyahu challenged U.N. member states that have wished Israel “Happy Hanukkah” but then also voted in favor of Friday’s resolution – which passed after the Obama administration controversially chose to abstain rather than use its veto.
“I ask those same countries that wish us a Happy Hanukkah how they could vote for a U.N. resolution which says that this place, in which we are now celebrating Hanukkah, is occupied territory?” he said.
“The Western Wall is not occupied,” he said. “The Jewish Quarter is not occupied.”
The 14 Security Council members which voted in favor of the resolution were Russia, China, Britain, France, Angola, Egypt, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Senegal, Spain, Ukraine, Uruguay and Venezuela.
As a permanent member, a “no” vote from the U.S. would have killed the measure.
At a White House Hanukkah reception earlier this month, President Obama wished the gathering “Happy Hanukkah!”
“As many times as we tell it, this 2,000-year-old tale never gets old,” he said. “In every generation, we take heart from the Maccabees’ struggle against tyranny, their fight to live in peace and practice their religion in peace. We teach our children that even in our darkest moments, a stubborn flame of hope flickers and miracles are possible.”
The location of Netanyahu’s remarks on Sunday evening is the remnant of a retaining wall on the western flank of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism. The hilltop was the location of the biblical Temples, the earliest of which was built by King Solomon almost 1,000 years before Christ, as recounted in the Old Testament books of 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles.
Israel’s claim to Jerusalem, which it says dates back some 3,000 years, to the reign of the Jewish King David, Solomon’s father, is not recognized by the international community.
The Security Council resolution adopted on Friday describes East Jerusalem – an area that includes the Old City and Temple Mount – as “Palestinian Territory” and condemns and demands that Israel stop the construction and expansion of “settlements” there and elsewhere in the areas Israel captured from Jordan in the 1967 Six Day War.
Resolution 2234 also declares that the establishments of settlements in East Jerusalem and those areas “ has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law.”
Speaking in the Security Council on Friday, Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon in responding to the resolution just voted upon invoked both the Maccabees and King David.
Concluding his remarks, he held up a Bible and said, “This holy book, the Bible, contains 3,000 years of Jewish history in the land of Israel. No-one – no-one can change this history.”
Justifying the decision to abstain rather than veto the measure, Secretary of State John Kerry, said the administration’s primary objective was “to preserve the possibility of the two-state solution, which every U.S. administration for decades has agreed is the only way to achieve a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.”
In fact, despite Kerry’s “decades” claim, the first U.S. president to publicly declare support for an independent Palestinian state was President George W. Bush, in a June 2002 Rose Garden speech that reversed more than four decades of American policy.
Six years later, Bush recalled that fact: “I'm actually the first president ever to have articulated a two-state solution, two democracies living side by side with peace – in peace.” (Bibi the Christophobe Says We Were Here First.)
Hey, Bibi, guess what?
Your people were expelled from Jerusalem and Palestine as the chastisement that the One Whose Holy Name you despise, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the very promised Messias whom those you claim as your spiritual ancestors rejected and turned over to Pontius Pilate to be Crucified even though they knew Him to be God in the very Flesh, prophesied would take place. He chose the pagan Romans to be the instruments of the dispersal of most of the Jews from the Holy Land as a punishment for their unbelief after a period of thirty-seven years had been given to them to respond to the preaching of the Gospel:
As one recalls, the Temple was destroyed as part of the punishment for the crime of Deicide perpetrated by the the Jews - the high priests, scribes and Pharisees together with the people, who asked that the Blood of Jesus Christ, Son of God, fall over them and their offspring - as reported in the Gospels.
After the destruction of the Temple by Titus in the year 70 A.D., one attempt was made by Emperor Julian the Apostate to rebuild that edifice. He meant to destroy the belief that the chastisement was due to the Death of Our Lord. His initiative was prevented by earthquakes and balls of fire falling from the sky that destroyed what had been made and frightened the workers. Julian died in June of 363 during that attempt to rebuild the Temple. Confessing his failure in his struggle against Jesus Christ, he cried out while dying: "Thou hast won, O Galilean!"
After that, no one ever tried to rebuild that cursed edifice.
Benedict XVI, like John Paul II before him, defied the wrath of God when he went to "pray" in that place - purposely ignoring the punishment of God it represents.
In the prayer he wrote, the Pope depicts himself neither as a representative of Jesus Christ, whose Name he did not mention, nor as the Sovereign Pontiff of the Catholic Church, but rather as a self-appointed ambassador of "all who call upon God's name." Ignoring the Passion of Our Lord which He suffered in that very City of Jerusalem, Benedict XVI addressed the "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," supposedly the same God of Catholics, Jews and Muslims. (Benedict defying God's wrath at the Wailing Wall.)
The Zionist State of Israel is entirely invented out of the fantasies of Theodore Herzl, the founder of International Zionism (with the help of the Masons in the United Kingdom such as Lord David Balfour, of course) to relocate the Talmudists in the very land from which the actual descendants of Abraham were expelled by the Romans in 70 A.D. as God used the pagan Romans as the instrument to chastise the Jews for their obstinate refusal to accept the preaching of the Gospel in their midst after He had mercifully permitted them a thirty-seven year period of reprieve following their role in calling down the Most Precious Blood of Our Divine Redeemer, Christ the King, upon them and their children. God expelled the Jews from the Holy Land in 70 A.D., and they were not meant to return, certainly not to found a nation based in a false, blasphemous religion, less yet to do so by violent means and the constant use of raw terror and the murder of countless thousands of innocent Palestinian Arabs, both Christians and Mohammedans.
Netanyahu's "history" is a little skewed, shall we say, as Judaism of any type hath no power to save anyone, and those who persist in its falsehoods until they die will pay an eternal penalty for their unbelief, and the for overt malice of many of their leaders, who have promoted the most vile moral evils imaginable as they have helped to create a counterfeit ape of the Catholic Church to pay its due obeissance to them and their temples even though Catholics have the obligation to exhort all non-believers, including Jews, to convert to the true Faith.
This is what Pops Saint Pius X had to say about the false religion that is Judaism and the proposed settlement of the Talmudists on the land that was sanctified by the shedding of the Most Precious Blood of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as he rejected entirely out of hand the pleading of Theodore Herzl himself:
HERZL: Yesterday I was with the Pope [Pius X]. . . . I arrived ten minutes ahead of time, and without having to wait I was conducted through a number of small reception rooms to the Pope. He received me standing and held out his hand, which I did not kiss. Lippay had told me I had to do it, but I didn’t. I believe this spoiled my chances with him, for everyone who visits him kneels and at least kisses his hand. This hand kiss had worried me a great deal and I was glad when it was out of the way.
He seated himself in an armchair, a throne for minor affairs, and invited me to sit by his side. He smiled in kindly anticipation. I began:
HERZL: I thank Your Holiness for the favor of granting me this audience. [I begged him to excuse my miserable Italian, but he said:
POPE: No, Signor Commander, you speak very well.
HERZL: [He is an honest, rough-hewn village priest, to whom Christianity has remained a living thing even in the Vatican. I briefly laid my request before him. But annoyed perhaps by my refusal to kiss his hand, he answered in a stern categorical manner.
POPE: We are unable to favor this movement [of Zionism]. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem—but we could never sanction it. The ground of Jerusalem, if it were not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot answer you otherwise. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people.
HERZL: [The conflict between Rome and Jerusalem, represented by the one and the other of us, was once again under way. At the outset I tried to be conciliatory. I said my little piece. . . . It didn’t greatly impress him. Jerusalem was not to be placed in Jewish hands.] And its present status, Holy Father?
POPE: I know, it is disagreeable to see the Turks in possession of our Holy Places. We simply have to put up with it. But to sanction the Jewish wish to occupy these sites, that we cannot do.
HERZL: [I said that we based our movement solely on the sufferings of the Jews, and wished to put aside all religious issues].
POPE: Yes, but we, but I as the head of the Catholic Church, cannot do this. One of two things will likely happen. Either the Jews will retain their ancient faith and continue to await the Messiah whom we believe has already appeared—in which case they are denying the divinity of Jesus and we cannot assist them. Or else they will go there with no religion whatever, and then we can have nothing at all to do with them. The Jewish faith was the foundation of our own, but it has been superceded by the teachings of Christ, and we cannot admit that it still enjoys any validity. The Jews who should have been the first to acknowledge Jesus Christ have not done so to this day.
HERZL: [It was on the tip of my tongue to remark, “It happens in every family: no one believes in his own relative.” But, instead, I said:] Terror and persecution were not precisely the best means for converting the Jews. [His reply had an element of grandeur in its simplicity:]
POPE: Our Lord came without power. He came in peace. He persecuted no one. He was abandoned even by his apostles. It was only later that he attained stature. It took three centuries for the Church to evolve. The Jews therefore had plenty of time in which to accept his divinity without duress or pressure. But they chose not to do so, and they have not done it yet.
HERZL: But, Holy Father, the Jews are in a terrible plight. I do not know if Your Holiness is aware of the full extent of their tragedy. We need a land for these harried people.
POPE: Must it be Jerusalem?
HERZL: We are not asking for Jerusalem, but for Palestine—for only the secular land.
POPE: We cannot be in favor of it.
[Editor Lowenthal interjects here] Here unrelenting replacement theology is plainly upheld as the norm of the Roman Catholic Church. Further, this confession, along with the whole tone of the Pope in his meeting with Herzl, indicates the perpetuation of a doctrinal emphasis that has resulted in centuries of degrading behavior toward the Jews. However, this response has the “grandeur” of total avoidance of that which Herzl had intimated, namely that the abusive reputation of Roman Catholicism toward the Jews was unlikely to foster conversion. Further, if, “It took three centuries for the Church to evolve,” it was that very same period of time that it took for the Church to consolidate and launch its thrust of anti-Semitism through the following centuries.
HERZL: Does Your Holiness know the situation of the Jews?
POPE: Yes, from my days in Mantua, where there are Jews. I have always been in friendly relations with Jews. Only the other evening two Jews were here to see me. There are other bonds than those of religion: social intercourse, for example, and philanthropy. Such bonds we do not refuse to maintain with the Jews. Indeed we also pray for them, that their spirit see the light. This very day the Church is celebrating the feast of an unbeliever who became converted in a miraculous manner—on the road to Damascus. And so if you come to Palestine and settle your people there, we will be ready with churches and priests to baptize all of you.
HERZL: [At this point Conte Lippay had himself announced. The Pope bade him be admitted. The Conte kneeled, kissed his hand, and joined in the conversation by telling of our “miraculous” meeting in the Bauer beerhall at Venice. The miracle was that he had originally intended to stay overnight in Padua, and instead, it turned out that he was given to hear me express the wish to kiss the Holy Father’s foot. At this the Pope made no movement, for I hadn’t even kissed his hand. Lippay proceeded to tell how I had expiated on the noble qualities of Jesus Christ. The Pope listened, and now and then took a pinch of snuff and sneezed into a big red cotton handkerchief. It is these peasant touches which I like about him best and which most of all compel my respect. Lippay, it would appear, wanted to account for his introducing me, and perhaps ward off a word of reproach. But the Pope said:
POPE: On the contrary, I am glad you brought me the Signor Commendatore.
HERZL: [As to the real business, he repeated what he had told me, until he dismissed us:]
POPE: Not possible!
HERZL: [Lippay stayed on his knees for an unconscionable time and never seemed to tire of kissing his hand. It was apparent that this was what the Pope liked. But on taking leave, I contented myself with shaking his hand warmly and bowing deeply. The audience lasted about twenty-five minutes. While spending the last hour in the Raphael gallery, I saw a picture of an Emperor kneeling before a seated Pope and receiving the crown from his hands. That’s how Rome wants it.] (Marvin Lowenthal, Diaries of Theodore Herzl, pp. 427- 430.)
Not exactly how the conciliar "popes" have spoken to the adherents of the Talmud whenever they have permitted themselves to have been treated as inferiors in Talmudic synagogues and as Talmudic choirs have sung about how the Talmudic Jews of today are "waiting for the Messiah," now is it?
Oh, no. Pope Saint Pius X sought the conversion of souls, making no accommodations to the nonexistent legitimacy of false religions. Jorge Mario Bergoglio/Francis was a regular visit of Talmudic synagogues in Argentina, and Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI visited three of them, including one in Rome itself (see Saint Peter and Anti-Peter).
If it is “anti-Semitic” to be opposed to the State of Israel and its “right” to exist, then even some Orthodox adherents of the Talmud, including rabbis, who are anti-Zionists and who recognize the crimes of the State of Israel must be anti-Semitic as well.
Well, Father Denis Fahey, the great defender of the Social Reign of Christ the King, explained how the Talmudists use the “anti-Semite” card to tar anyone and everyone who opposes them and will not accept their false religion as valid and who dares to place into question their tortured accounts of human history:
Yet all the propaganda about that display of Anti-Semitism should not have made Catholics forget the existence of age-long Jewish Naturalism or Anti-Supernaturalism. Forgetfulness of the disorder of Jewish Naturalistic opposition to Christ the King is keeping Catholics blind to the danger that is arising from the clever extension of the term “Anti-Semitism,” with all its war-connotation in the minds of the unthinking, to include any form of opposition to the Jewish Nation’s naturalistic aims. For the leaders of the Jewish Nation, to stand for the rights of Christ the King is logically to be “anti-Semitic.”
These words of wisdom apply to the cultural and political legal warfare that has been waged in this country by Judeo-Masonry. Indeed, as Father Fahey quotes from Pope Pius XI:
“Comprehending and merciful charity towards the erring,” he writes, “and even towards the contemptuous, does not mean and can not mean that you renounce in any way the proclaiming of, the insisting on, and the courageous defence of the truth and its free and unhindered application to the realities about you. The first and obvious duty the priest owes to the world about him is service to the truth, the whole truth, the unmasking and refutation of error in whatever form or disguise it conceals itself.” (Pope Pius XII, Mit Brennender Sorge, March 14, 1937)
Anti-Semitism--or simple fidelity to this mission that the God-Man, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, gave to the Eleven before He Ascended to the Father's right hand in glory on Ascension Thursday?
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)
Was Father Maria-Alphonse Ratisbonne, who was converted to the Faith after Our Lady appeared to him in the Church of San Andrea delle Fratte, in Rome Italy, on January 20, 1842, as she appeared on the Miraculous Medal, and his brother, Father Theodore Ratisbonne, "anti-Semitic" to seek the conversion of their fellow Jews of the Talmud? They "targeted" Jews for conversion, something that Father Raniero Cantalamessa, the "preacher" to the "papal" household of both John Paul II and Benedict XVI said in 2005 must not be done:
If Jews one day come (as Paul hopes) to a more positive judgment of Jesus, this must occur through an inner process, as the end of a search of their own (something that in part is occurring). We Christians cannot be the ones who seek to convert them. We have lost the right to do so by the way in which this was done in the past. First the wounds must be healed through dialogue and reconciliation. (Zenit, September 30, 2005.)
Catholics hate no one. We hate our own sins. We hate the promotion of sin in the world and its protection under the cover of the civil law. We hate the devil and his minions who inspire us to the commission of various sins. It is no hatred of anyone to seek their conversion to the true Faith, the Catholic Faith, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order, and to denounce the efforts of those who hate Our Lord and His true Church to promote evil under cover of the civil law.
Donald John Trump has chosen to surround himself with those who deny the Sacred Divinity of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and his three grown children are married to Talmudists. His favorite child, Ivanka, became a Talmudist when she married Jared Kushner, and the two of them “prayed” at the tomb of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson nine days before he, Trump, was elected President of the United States of America.
To be sure, the United Nations is an organization of evil that has long supported “population control” and “reproductive freedom.” It is an entirely Judeo-Masonic means to ensure a “peace” that will come about only when all men enjoy the fruit of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and exclaim, “Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord.”
It is not to clothe the United Nations with any kind of undeserved respect or legitimacy to prove that Jerusalem has not belonged to the Jews since the city was shaken by an earthquake that tore the curtain in the Temple in two after the death of Our Lord on the wood of the Holy Cross, thus signifying the ratification of the New and Eternal Covenant that Our Lord had instituted at the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday as the Old Covenant was abolished.
The Old Covenant of Moses is dead.
Dead.
Dead.
It has been superseded, and our last true pope thus far reiterated Catholic teaching in this regard no uncertain terms:
28.That He completed His work on the gibbet of the Cross is the unanimous teaching of the holy Fathers who assert that the Church was born from the side of our Savior on the Cross like a new Eve, mother of all the living. [28] "And it is now," says the great St. Ambrose, speaking of the pierced side of Christ, "that it is built, it is now that it is formed, it is now that is .... molded, it is now that it is created . . . Now it is that arises a spiritual house, a holy priesthood." [29] One who reverently examines this venerable teaching will easily discover the reasons on which it is based.
29.And first of all, by the death of our Redeemer, the New Testament took the place of the Old Law which had been abolished; then the Law of Christ together with its mysteries, enactments, institutions, and sacred rites was ratified for the whole world in the blood of Jesus Christ. For, while our Divine Savior was preaching in a restricted area -- He was not sent but to the sheep that were lost of the house of Israel [30] -the Law and the Gospel were together in force; [31] but on the gibbet of his death Jesus made void the Law with its decrees, [32] fastened the handwriting of the Old Testament to the Cross, [33] establishing the New Testament in His blood shed for the whole human race. [34] "To such an extent, then," says St. Leo the Great, speaking of the Cross of our Lord, "was there effected a transfer from the Law to the Gospel, from the Synagogue to the Church, from many sacrifices to one Victim, that, as our Lord expired, that mystical veil which shut off the innermost part of the temple and its sacred secret was rent violently from top to bottom." [35]
30. On the Cross then the Old Law died, soon to be buried and to be a bearer of death, [36] in order to give way to the New Testament of which Christ had chosen the Apostles as qualified ministers; [37] and although He had been constituted the Head of the whole human family in the womb of the Blessed Virgin, it is by the power of the Cross that our Savior exercises fully the office itself of Head in His Church. "For it was through His triumph on the Cross," according to the teaching of the Angelic and Common Doctor, "that He won power and dominion over the gentiles"; [38] by that same victory He increased the immense treasure of graces, which, as He reigns in glory in heaven, He lavishes continually on His mortal members it was by His blood shed on the Cross that God's anger was averted and that all the heavenly gifts, especially the spiritual graces of the New and Eternal Testament, could then flow from the fountains of our Savior for the salvation of men, of the faithful above all; it was on the tree of the Cross, finally, that He entered into possession of His Church, that is, of all the members of His Mystical Body; for they would not have been united to this Mystical Body. (Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis, June 29, 1943.)
Father Benedict Baur’s reflection for the O Antiphon on December 23, 2016, the very day that Security Council’s resolution condemning Israel was passed, explains that Jerusalem is Our Lord’s Holy City. It belongs to no one else:
O Emmanuel, our King and Lawgiver, the Expectation and Saviour of the nations! come and save us, O Lord our God!
O Emmanuel! King of Peace! Thou enterest to-day the city of Thy predilection the city in which Thou hast placed Thy temple—Jerusalem. A few years hence the same city will give Thee Thy cross and sepulchre: nay, the day will come on which Thou wilt set Thy judgment-seat within sight of her walls. But to-day Thou enterest the city of David and Solomon, unnoticed and unknown. It lies on Thy road to Bethlehem. Thy blessed Mother and Joseph her spouse would not lose the opportunity of visiting the temple, there to offer to the Lord their prayers and adoration. They enter; and then, for the first time, is accomplished the prophecy of the Angel, that great shall be the glory of this last house more than of the first; for this second temple has now standing within it an ark of the Covenant more precious than was that which Moses built; and within this ark, which is Mary, is contained the God whose presence makes her the holiest of sanctuaries. The Lawgiver Himself is in this blessed ark, and not merely, as in that of old, the table of stone on which the Law was graven. The visit paid, our living ark descends the steps of the temple, and sets out once more for Bethlehem, where other prophecies are to be fulfilled. We adore Thee, O Emmauel! in this Thy journey, and awe reverence the fidelity wherewith Thou fulfillest all that the prophets have written of Thee; for Thou wouldst give to Thy people the certainty of Thy being the Messias, by showing them all the marks, whereby He was to be known, are to be found in Thee. And now, the hour is near; all is ready for Thy birth; come then, and save us; come that Thou mayst not only be called our Emmanuel but our Jesus, that is, He that saves us. (Father Benedict Baur, O.S.B., The Light of the World, Volume I, B. Herder Book Company, 1954, “Emmanuel," pp. 88-89.)
What more is there to say?
It is enough for us who do believe in Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and all that He has revealed to us through His true Church to try to make reparation for our sins on a daily basis, offering whatever merit we might earn by doing so to the Throne of the Most Blessed Trinity as the consecrated slaves of Christ the King through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady desires all non-Catholics (and all heretical Catholics) to be converted to the true Faith before they die, and she prayed for this very fervently as she stood by the foot of her Divine Son’s Most Holy Cross on Good Friday. We must make this prayer our own, and the fact that the conciliar revolutionaries do not pray for this marks them as the most avid anti-Semites on the face of the earth as they are content to leave souls in a dead religion until they die and then face the very King Whose Name they had despised their entire lives.
Moreover, Saint John the Evangelist, whose feast we celebrate today on this third day in the Octave of Christmas and who stood at the foot of the Cross as the sole member of the Apostolic College to have done so, is hated by Jews and many Modernist Catholics because He recounted Our Lord’s stinging reproaches of the Jews for their unbelief:
Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. [32] And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.[33] They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free? [34] Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin. [35] Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever.
[36] If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. [37] I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. [38] I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father. [39] They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham. [40] But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.
[41] You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God. [42] Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me: [43] Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. [44] You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. [45] But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
[46] Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me? [47] He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God. [48] The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? [49] Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me. [50] But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
[51] Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. [52] The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. [53] Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself? [54] Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. [55] And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word.
[56] Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad. [57] The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? [58]Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am. [59] They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple. (John 8:31-59.)
May the Joyful Mysteries we pray each day during this Christmas Octave help us to be converted away from our own sins and to do all that we can, especially by prayer but also by word and deed as the opportunity might arise from time to time, to be a small instrument of the conversion of non-Catholics to the true Church so that each one of us will be prepared for Particular Judgment at the end of our lives and for the General Judgment as Our Divine King and Judge takes His throne in His eternal city, Jerusalem, that is not captive to His ancient enemies.
