The Apocalypse, the Book of the Revelation

Words Of Wisdom

My Point of View

In the following, instead of making the mistake of trying to guess when God will destroy Babylon, let us take note of her sins that we do not partake of them! -Etienne

THE APOCALYPSE

OF ST. JOHN THE APOSTLE

CHAPTER 18.

The Fall of Babylon

AND after this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was lighted up by his glory. 2. And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, "She has fallen, she has b fallen, Babylon the great; and has become a habitation of demons, a stronghold of every unclean spirit, a stronghold of every unclean and hateful bird; 3. because all the nations have drunk of the wrath of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and by the power of her wantonness the merchants of the earth have grown rich."

Her Sins and Punishment

4. And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Go out from her, my people, that you may not share in her sins, and that you may not receive of her plagues. 5. For her sins have reached even to heaven, and the Lord has remembered her iniquities. 6. Render to her as she also has rendered, and give her the double according to her works; in the cup, that she has mixed, mix for her double. 7. As much as she glorified herself and gave herself to wantonness, so much torment and mourning give to her. Because in her heart she says, c I sit a queen, I am no widow, and I shall not see mourning.’ 8. Therefore in one day her plagues shall come, death and mourning and famine; and she shall be burnt up in fire; for strong is God who will judge her."

Dirge of the Kings

9. 2 And the kings of the earth who with her committed fornication and lived wantonly will weep and mourn over her when they see the smoke of her burning, 10. standing afar off for fear of her torments, saying, "Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city, for in one hour has thy judgment come!"

Dirge of the Merchants

11. And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her; for no one will buy their merchandise any more: 12. merchandise of gold and silver, and precious stones and pearls, and fine linen and purple, and silk and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all vessels of ivory, and all vessels of precious stone, and of brass, and of iron, and of marble, 13. and cinnamon and amomum and spices, and ointment and frankincense, and wine and oil, and fine flour and wheat, and beasts of burden 3 and sheep and horses, and chariots and slaves, and souls of men. 14. And the fruit which was the desire of thy soul departed from thee; and all the fat and splendid things perished from thee, and men will find them nevermore. 15. The merchants of these things, who grew rich by her, will stand afar off for fear of her torments, weeping, and mourning, 16. and saying, "Woe, woe, the great city, which was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and precious stone, and pearls; 17. for in one hour riches, so great were laid waste!"

Dirge of the Mariners

And every shipmaster, and everyone who sails to a place, and mariners, and all who work upon the sea, stood afar off, 18. and cried out as they saw the place of her burning, saying, "What city is like to this great city?" 19. And they cast dust on their heads, and cried out weeping and mourning, saying “Woe, woe, the great city, wherein all who had their ships at sea were made rich out of her wealth; for in one hour she has been laid waste!” 20. Make merry over her , O heaven, and you the saints and the apostles and the prophets, for God has judged your cause upon her

b Apoc. 14, 8; Isa. 21, 9; Jer. 51, 8.-c Isa. 47, 8.

l-Ver. 17. The Greek text reads: ". . . to do his purpose and to make common cause and to give their kingdom. . . ."
2-Ver. 9-19. This passage does not appear to be an account of a vision but rather a direct prophecy, after the manner of the prophecies of Isaias and Ezechiel concernlng Tyre. Tyre furnishes a type of the vengeance of God upon pride and luxury.
3- Ver. 1.3. Beasts of burden: the Greek has
"cattle."

Note in the above inerrant Holy Scripture that the picture Jesus is showing us is one of complete apostasy from God.

LET BE ACCURSED ANY GOSPEL OTHER THAN THAT WHICH WAS PREACHED AT THE BEGINNING, RECEIVED NOT FROM MAN BUT FROM CHRIST JESUS, THOU ALONE, IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH THY ALL HOLY INFINITELY PURE AND UNDEFILED BLOOD, THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS, WHO IN THE FUTURE SHALL RECREATE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, CALLED BY THINE SPECIAL CHOICE, WHO BEFORE HOPED IN CHRIST WITH ALL WHO HEARD THE WORD OF TRUTH AND BELIEVED, SEALED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF THE PROMISE, WHO IS THE PLEDGE OF OUR INHERITANCE, TO THE REDEMPTION OF THE POSSESSION, FOR THE PRAISE OF HIS GLORY, IN FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS, AND OF LOVE FOR ALL THE SAINTS IN UNCEASING INTERCESSION OF ALL THE ELECT ANGELS AND SAINTS OF GOD, VIRGINS, WITH ALL THANKSGIVING, THAT THE GOD OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF GLORY, MAY GRANT US THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION IN DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF HIM; THE EYES OF OUR MINDS BEING ENLIGHTENED, TO KNOW THE HOPE OF HIS CALLING, THE RICHES OF THE GLORY OF HIS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS, AND THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER TOWARDS US WHO BELIEVE, ACCORDING TO THE WORKING OF HIS MIGHTY POWER WROUGHT IN CHRIST THE ONLY FIRST BORN FROM THE DEAD IN THE FLESH RAISED ABOVE ALL THINGS HE MADE SUBJECT UNDER HIS FEET, WE WHO HOLD HIM THE HEAD DIRECTLY AND NO OTHER, CHRIST JESUS OUR ONLY LORD AND SAVIOUR IMMORTAL SON OF THE IMMORTAL FATHER IN THE UNITY AND POWER OF THE IMMORTAL HOLY SPIRIT OUR PARACLETE UNTO THE AGES OF THE AGES. AMEN.

Note: English translations follow the Latin.

To uphold our baptismal vows we must have nothing to do with the Vatican - the seat of absolute Apostasy.

God will punish and damn those who disobey this.

Rv:13: THE MARK OF THOSE WHO ARE DAMNED

16 And he shall make all, both little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character [3] in their right hand or on their foreheads: … Scripture reference – Rev.: 14:9; 20:4

[3] -Ver. 16. Character (mark): as slaves received a brand or a mark in their flesh, indicating to whom they belonged, so in the spiritual conflict there is on the side of good and of evil a
brand or mark. St. Paul spoke of such marks in his own body that proved him a slave of Jesus Christ [Gal. 6, 17]. So the false prophet seeks to, impress a mark on all. What this mark is will be manifested in its time.

The First Three Bowls THE PUNISHMENT OF THE DAMNED EVEN BEFORE THEY ARE CAST INTO HELL FOREVER BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AT HIS SECOND COMING

Rv:16:

1 ¶ And I heard a great voice [1] out of the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go and pour out the seven vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. … Scripture reference – Ps.: 68:25!
2 And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth. And there fell a sore and grievous wound upon men who had the character of the beast: [2] and upon them that adored the image thereof. … Scripture reference – Exod.: 9:10; Rev.: 14:9, 11!; 19:20

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast. And his kingdom became dark: and they gnawed their tongues for pain.

[1] -Ver. 1. Great (loud) voice: the divine voice from the throne itself.

[2] Ver. 2. The plague falls on those who carry the character (mark) of the beast; it resembles the sixth Egyptian plague, the plague of boils. Cf. Ex. 9, 8-12.

Rv:14: WE MUST UPHOLD OUR BAPTISMAL VOWS TO THE DEATH

8 And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon [3] is fallen, is fallen; which made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 18:2; Isaiah: 21:9!; Rev.: 17:2; 18:3
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image and receive his character in his forehead or in his hand, … Scripture reference – Rev.: 16:2; 19:20; 20:4; 13:6
10 He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath: and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 16:19; Ps.: 74:9!
11 And the smoke of their torments, shall ascend up for ever and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast and his image and whoever receiveth the character of his name. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 19:3; Isaiah: 34:10; Rev.: 13:17; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4

Blessedness of the Saints

12 Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. … Scripture reference – Rev.: 13:10; 2:13!; 12:17!; Sir.: 2:21
13 ¶ And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth [4] now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours. For their works follow them. … Scripture reference – IV Esr.:7:35

[3] -Ver. 8. Babylon: in the Jewish old testament and the Christian new testament, Babylon was a synonym for religious harlotry, in this case, Rome. The final fulfillment is taking shape for quite some time now by the forces of Judeo Mason infiltration into Roman ecclesial circles and its concomitant Zionist pillage of Palestine. The end of this and the time is known to God. We must quote the Church Fathers and St. Paul and say that the aim of the antichrist forces is to rebuild the Solomonic temple in Jerusalem and subvert the whole Church into Judaic Apostasy. The faithful must have no part in this and oppose it in every way while staying completely apart from it.
[4] -Ver. 13. The punctuation of the Vulgate is slightly different: .. . . . those who die in the Lord. Now from henceforth. . . . .. The punctuation of the Greek text, which is supported by some good Vulgate codices is: “…the dead who die in the Lord henceforth.”

The Fifth Prophesy: Isaias 54: 17; 55: 1-11

We are through the Sacrament of Baptism incorporated into the new nation: the Church, which with God enters into a covenant superior to the covenant of Sinai.

Hæc est heréditas servórum Dómini: et justítia eórum apud me, dicit Dóminus. Omnes sitiéntes veníte ac aquas: et qui non habétis argéntum, properáte, émite, et comédite: veníte, emíte absque argénto, et absque ulla commutatióne, vinum, et lac. Quare appénditis argéntum non in pánibus, et labórem vestrum non in saturitáte? Audíte audiéntes me, et comédite bonum, et delectábitur in crassitúdine ánima vestra. Inclináte autem vestram, et veníte ad me: audíte, et vivet ánima vestra, et fériam vobíscum pactum sempitérnum, misericórdias David fidéles. Ecce testem pópulis dedi eum, ducem, ac præceptórum géntibus. Ecce gentem, quam nesciébas, vocábis: et gentes, quæ te non cognovérunt, ad te current propter Dóminum Deum tuum, et sanctum Israël, quia glorificávit te. Quæríte Dóminum, dum inveníri potest: invocáte eum, dum prope est. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum et miserébitur ejus, et ad Deum nostrum: quóniam multus est ad ignoscéndum. Non enim cogitatiónes meæ, cogitatiónes vestræ: neque viæ vestræ, viæ meæ, dicit Dóminus. Quia sicut exaltántur cæli a terra, sic exaltátæ sunt viæ meæ a viis vestris, et cogitatiónes meæ a cogitatiónibus vestris. Et quómodo descéndit imber, et nix de cælo, et illuc ultra non revértitur, sed inébriat terram, et infúndit eam, et germináre eam facit, et dat semen serénti, et panem comedénti: sic erit verbum meum, quod egrediétur de ore meo: non revertétur ad me vácuum, sed fáciet quæcúmque vúlui, et prosperábitur in his, ad quæ misi illud: dicit Dóminus omnípotens.

This is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and their justice with Me, saith the Lord. All you that thirst, come to the waters: and you that have no money, make haste, buy and eat; come ye, buy wine and milk without money, and without any price. Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which doth not satisfy you? Harken diligently to Me, and eat that which is good, and your soul shall be delighted in fatness. Incline your ear, and come to Me: hear, and your soul shall live, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful mercies of David. Behold I have given him for a witness to the people, for a leader and a master to the gentiles. Behold thou shalt call a nation, which thou knewest not; and the nations that knew not thee, shall run to thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for the holy One of Israel, for He hath glorified thee. Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unjust man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He is bountiful to forgive. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways My ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so are My ways exalted above your ways, and My thoughts above your thoughts. And as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return no more thither, but soak the earth, and water it, and make it to spring, and give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater; so shall My word be, which shall go forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall do whatsoever I please, and shall prosper in the things for which I sent it; saith the Lord almighty.

Apostasy: Rome has fallen, fallen

When at the Ford, Frodo faced down the temptation of hell. The Ringraiths called to Frodo: “Come back! Come back! To Mordor we will take you!” He refused, then they asked for the Ring, "Give it to us..." He refused, and then they tried to take it by force. They failed. Frodo completed his task, he destroyed the ring and did not use it nor side with the black Lord. To have succumb to any of these temptations of the Ringwraiths would have been destruction. The Ring - in the real world, the Intaglio of Isis - the sorcery of the Mother goddess - false Mary assumed bodily in the flesh into heaven before the Second Coming of Christ, would be destruction, damnation. Before the Second Coming of Christ - NO ONE EXCEPT JESUS CHRIST is raised from the dead in the flesh until the two witnesses (Enoch and Elijah) are raised in the future just before the Second Coming of Christ and the final judgment of Christ upon all men.


Understand Tolkien, his is a mythic telling of the eschatological battle between good and evil - that battle is real.

Heavenly Jerusalem against the powers of darkness - Babylon. Today, Babylon is the Vatican - Rome, Italy and will be destroyed by God.

The nine ringwraiths chasing Frodo to take him back to Mordor (this is known as the gate of hell).

The gates of hell (the Demon Gate in Buddhism) tries to reclaim those who escape its evil and sorcerous delusion - our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ said, Mt 16:18 "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." If you enter into the gates of hell, you are no part of Christ's. Look at what Jesus said closely "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." What exactly does it mean? Look at it in Latin and Greek.

Latin: Mt.16:18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Mt.16:18 ego dico tibi quia tu es Petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversum eam

Highlighted words are Greek scripture original text that the Gospels were written in and the Church Fathers quoted and the Latin text was made from by St. Jerome. See below for link to highlighted Greek text.

Petrus is the same as petros - and petram is the same as petra, ecclesiam is the same as ekklEsian, the "outcalled" - those called out. St. Peter confesses Jesus as the Christ and upon that confession of faith -not on the person of Peter - Jesus Christ builds His church. The ecclesiam, those called out, are those who are part of the Katholike (Kata holikos ekklesia). In English the Catholic Church, literally, in the Church Fathers who coined the phrase Catholic Church (it is not in scripture but is from scripture), it is "those called out from the [corrupt] world system."

All of the Church Fathers agreed that only Christ is head of His church, including Pope St. Gregory the Great of Rome (died 604 A.D.) who said that any earthly Bishop who tried to make himself ruler over the entire Christian church would be only a precursor of the Antichrist and not a true bishop at all - and applied that to himself and all Bishops of Rome - the Popes as well.

Irenaeus Against Heresies

Chapter XVIII.-Continuation of the Foregoing Argument. Proofs from the Writings of St. Paul, and from the Words of Our Lord, that Christ and Jesus Cannot Be Considered as Distinct Beings; Neither Can It Be Alleged that the Son of God Became Man Merely in Appearance, But that He Did So Truly and Actually.

Chapter XVIII.-Continuation of the Foregoing Argument. Proofs from the Writings of St. Paul, and from the Words of Our Lord, that Christ and Jesus Cannot Be Considered as Distinct Beings; Neither Can It Be Alleged that the Son of God Became Man Merely in Appearance, But that He Did So Truly and Actually.

1.³²⁴ As it has been clearly demonstrated that the Word, who existed in the beginning with God, by whom all things were made, who was also always present with mankind, was in these last days, according to the time appointed by the Father, united to His own workmanship, inasmuch as He became a man liable to suffering, [it follows] that every objection is set aside of those who say, "If our Lord was born at that time, Christ had therefore no previous existence." For I have shown that the Son of God did not then begin to exist, being with the Father from the beginning; but when He became incarnate, and was made man, He commenced afresh³²⁵ the long line of human beings, and furnished us, in a brief, comprehensive manner, with salvation; so that what we had lost in Adam-namely, to be according to the image and likeness of God-that we might recover in Christ Jesus.

2. For as it was not possible that the man who had once for all been conquered, and who had been destroyed through disobedience, could reform himself, and obtain the prize of victory; and as it was also impossible that he could attain to salvation who had fallen under the power of sin,-the Son effected both these things, being the Word of God, descending from the Father, becoming incarnate, stooping low, even to death, and consummating the arranged plan of our salvation, upon whom [Paul], exhorting us unhesitatingly to believe, again says, "Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring down Christ; or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to liberate Christ again from the dead."³²⁶ Then he continues, "If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shall be saved."³²⁷ And he renders the reason why the Son of God did these things, saying, "For to this end Christ both lived, and died, and revived, that He might rule over the living and the dead."³²⁸ And again, writing to the Corinthians, he declares, "But we preach Christ Jesus crucified; "³²⁹ and adds, "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? "³³⁰

3. But who is it that has had fellowship with us in the matter of food? Whether is it he who is conceived of by them as the Christ above, who extended himself through Horos, and imparted a form to their mother; or is it He who is from the Virgin, Emmanuel, who did eat butter and honey,³³¹ of whom the prophet declared, "He is also a man, and who shall know him? "³³² He was likewise preached by Paul: "For I delivered," he says, "unto you first of all, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures."³³³ It is plain, then, that Paul knew no other Christ besides Him alone, who both suffered, and was buried, and rose gain, who was also born, and whom he speaks of as man. For after remarking, "But if Christ be preached, that He rose from the dead,"³³⁴ he continues, rendering the reason of His incarnation, "For since by man came death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead." And everywhere, when [referring to] the passion of our Lord, and to His human nature, and His subjection to death, he employs the name of Christ, as in that passage: "Destroy not him with thy meat for whom Christ died."³³⁵ And again: "But now, in Christ, ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ."³³⁶ And again: "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth upon a tree."³³⁷ And again: "And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died; "³³⁸ indicating that the impassible Christ did not descend upon Jesus, but that He Himself, because He was Jesus Christ, suffered for us; He, who lay in the tomb, and rose again, who descended and ascended,-the Son of God having been made the Son of man, as the very name itself doth declare. For in the name of Christ is implied, He that anoints, He that is anointed, and the unction itself with which He is anointed. And it is the Father who anoints, but the Son who is anointed by the Spirit, who is the unction, as the Word declares by Isaiah, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me,"³³⁹ -pointing out both the anointing Father, the anointed Son, and the unction, which is the Spirit.

4. The Lord Himself, too, makes it evident who it was that suffered; for when He asked the disciples, "Who do men say that I, the Son of man, am? "³⁴⁰ and when Peter had replied, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God; "and when he had been commended by Him [in these words], "That flesh and blood had not revealed it to him, but the Father who is in heaven," He made it clear that He, the Son of man, is Christ the Son of the living God. "For from that time forth," it is said, "He began to show to His disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the priests, and be rejected, and crucified, and rise again the third day."³⁴¹ He who was acknowledged by Peter as Christ, who pronounced him blessed because the Father had revealed the Son of the living God to him, said that He must Himself suffer many things, and be crucified; and then He rebuked Peter, who imagined that He was the Christ as the generality of men supposed³⁴² [that the Christ should be], and was averse to the idea of His suffering, [and] said to the disciples, "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose it for My sake shall save it."³⁴³ For these things Christ spoke openly, He being Himself the Saviour of those who should be delivered over to death for their confession of Him, and lose their lives.

5. If, however, He was Himself not to suffer, but should fly away from Jesus, why did He exhort His disciples to take up the cross and follow Him,-that cross which these men represent Him as not having taken up, but [speak of Him] as having relinquished the dispensation of suffering? For that He did not say this with reference to the acknowledging of the Stauros (cross) above, as some among them venture to expound, but with respect to the suffering which He should Himself undergo, and that His disciples should endure, He implies when He says, "For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose, shall find it. And that His disciples must suffer for His sake, He [implied when He] said to the Jews, "Behold, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify."³⁴⁴ And to the disciples He was wont to say, "And ye shall stand before governors and kings for My sake; and they shall scourge some of you, and slay you, and persecute you from city to city."³⁴⁵ He knew, therefore, both those who should suffer persecution, and He knew those who should have to be scourged and slain because of Him; and He did not speak of any other cross, but of the suffering which He should Himself undergo first, and His disciples afterwards. For this purpose did He give them this exhortation: "Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to send both soul and body into hell; "³⁴⁶ [thus exhorting them] to hold fast those professions of faith which they had made in reference to Him. For He promised to confess before His Father those who should confess His name before men; but declared that He would deny those who should deny Him, and would be ashamed of those who should be ashamed to confess Him. And although these things are so, some of these men have proceeded to such a degree of temerity, that they even pour contempt upon the martyrs, and vituperate those who are slain on account of the confession of the Lord, and who suffer all things predicted by the Lord, and who in this respect strive to follow the footprints of the Lord's passion, having become martyrs of the suffering One; these we do also enrol with the martyrs themselves. For, when inquisition shall be made for their blood,³⁴⁷ and they shall attain to glory, then all shall be confounded by Christ, who have cast a slur upon their martyrdom. And from this fact, that He exclaimed upon the cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,"³⁴⁸ the long-suffering, patience, compassion, and goodness of Christ are exhibited, since He both suffered, and did Himself exculpate those who had maltreated Him. For the Word of God, who said to us, "Love your enemies, and pray for those that hate you,"³⁴⁹ Himself did this very thing upon the cross; loving the human race to such a degree, that He even prayed for those putting Him to death. If, however, any one, going upon the supposition that there are two [Christs], forms a judgment in regard to them, that [Christ] shall be found much the better one, and more patient, and the truly good one, who, in the midst of His own wounds and stripes, and the other [cruelties] inflicted upon Him, was beneficent, and unmindful of the wrongs perpetrated upon Him, than he who flew away, and sustained neither injury nor insult.

6. This also does likewise meet [the case] of those who maintain that He suffered only in appearance. For if He did not truly suffer, no thanks to Him, since there was no suffering at all; and when we shall actually begin to suffer, He will seem as leading us astray, exhorting us to endure buffering, and to turn the other³⁵⁰ cheek, if He did not Himself before us in reality suffer the same; and as He misled them by seeming to them what He was not, so does He also mislead us, by exhorting us to endure what He did not endure Himself. [In that case] we shall be even above the Master, because we suffer and sustain what our Master never bore or endured. But as our Lord is alone truly Master, so the Son of God is truly good and patient, the Word of God the Father having been made the Son of man. For He fought and conquered; for He was man contending for the fathers,³⁵¹ and through obedience doing away with disobedience completely: for He bound the strong man,³⁵² and set free the weak, and endowed His own handiwork with salvation, by destroying sin. For He is a most holy and merciful Lord, and loves the human race.

7. Therefore, as I have already said, He caused man (human nature) to cleave to and to become, one with God. For unless man had overcome the enemy of man, the enemy would not have been legitimately vanquished. And again: unless it had been God who had freely given salvation, we could never have possessed it securely. And unless man had been joined to God, he could never have become a partaker of incorruptibility. For it was incumbent upon the Mediator between God and men, by His relationship to both, to bring both to friendship and concord, and present man to God, while He revealed God to man.³⁵³ For, in what way could we be partaken of the adoption of sons, unless we had received from Him through the Son that fellowship which refers to Himself, unless His Word, having been made flesh, had entered into communion with us? Wherefore also He passed through every stage of life, restoring to all communion with God. Those, therefore, who assert that He appeared putatively, and was neither born in the flesh nor truly made man, are as yet under the old condemnation, holding out patronage to sin; for, by their showing, death has not been vanquished, which "reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression."³⁵⁴ But the law coming, which was given by Moses, and testifying of sin that it is a sinner, did truly take away his (death's) kingdom, showing that he was no king, but a robber; and it revealed him as a murderer. It laid, however, a weighty burden upon man, who had sin in himself, showing that he was liable to death. For as the law was spiritual, it merely made sin to stand out in relief, but did not destroy it. For sin had no dominion over the spirit, but over man. For it behoved Him who was to destroy sin, and redeem man under the power of death, that He should Himself be made that very same thing which he was, that is, man; who had been drawn by sin into bondage, but was held by death, so that sin should be destroyed by man, and man should go forth from death. For as by the disobedience of the one man who was originally moulded from virgin soil, the many were made sinners,³⁵⁵ and forfeited life; so was it necessary that, by the obedience of one man, who was originally born from a virgin, many should be justified and receive salvation. Thus, then, was the Word of God made man, as also Moses says: "God, true are His works."³⁵⁶ But if, not having been made flesh, He did appear as if flesh, His work was not a true one. But what He did appear, that He also was: God recapitulated in Himself the ancient formation of man, that He might kill sin, deprive death of its power, and vivify man; and therefore His works are true.

Pius X Society gives initial reaction to Vatican offer

Society of St. Pius X Superior General Bishop Bernard Fellay.

Rome, Italy (CNA): The leader of the Society of St. Pius X says the traditionalist group will respond to the Vatican’s offer of reconciliation based upon “the good of the Church and of souls.”

“Our Rosary crusade, which continues for several more months, must be intensified so as to enable us to obtain, through the intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church, the graces of light and strength that we need more than ever,” said the Society’s Superior General, Bishop Bernard Fellay, after leaving the talks in Rome Sept. 14.

Bishop Fellay’s comments followed a two-hour meeting at which he was presented with a statement of principles, or “doctrinal preamble,” by the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal William Leveda. The document outlined points of doctrine that the Vatican needs clarified before finally healing the decades-long rift between the two sides.

If the Society agrees they may be offered the status of a personal prelature within the Church - a jurisdiction without geographical boundaries designed to carry out particular pastoral initiatives.

“The meeting was conducted with great courtesy and with equally great candor, because for the sake of honesty the Society of St. Pius X refuses to evade the problems that remain,” said Bishop Fellay in an interview posted on the Society’s website.

The Society of St. Pius X was founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebrve in 1970 as a response to what he described as errors that had crept into the Catholic Church following the Second Vatican Council. It has had a strained relationship with the Vatican since Archbishop Lefebrve consecrated four bishops against the orders of Pope John Paul II in 1988.

Yesterday’s talks seem to leave open the possibility of the Society repairing its relationship with the Church, while still being allowed to express concerns over the legacy of the Second Vatican Council.

Bishop Fellay says this view confirms a 2005 conversation he had with Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos, then President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, who told him that the Society’s various objections to aspects of the Second Vatican Council “does not mean that you are outside the Church.”

However, Bishop Fellay also said that the doctrinal preamble does not spell out a “clear-cut distinction” between “the inviolable dogmatic sphere” and “the pastoral sphere that is subject to discussion.”

While not giving a time scale for the Society’s response, Bishop Fellay said he will reply to the Vatican as soon as he has “taken the time necessary to study” the document and “to consult with those who are chiefly responsible for the Society of St. Pius X.”
