this is me being very brave and not correcting inaccuracies about the vatican library after seeing a post that mentions it, even though working with vatican manuscript collections and their digital surrogates is my literal job
(nb I don't work for the church in any sort of direct fashion, we're a medieval and early modern studies research center, please do not drag me through the streets, at least for that reason)
#like this is not to minimize the many crimes of the church#or indeed the accessibility issues of rare book and manuscript libraries#but it's not actually locked away and kept secret#it's all being digitized rn#large chunks of it have existed on microfilm and have been hosted in the US since the 1950s#like the wealth of the church is a separate issue but#the access issues for the libraries are not distinctly different from those of secular institutions#also the 'vatican secret archive' is not what people think it is#it's basically just documents related to the private business of popes#it's not called that anymore and it's not particularly secret

#1100 Does the Vatican have a secret library?
Does the Vatican have a secret library? No. The Vatican doesn’t have a secret library. There are some sections that are restricted, and there are some recent records that are off limits, but no more than many other government libraries and there are certainly some governments that are much more secretive. The Vatican library is enormous. That isn’t really surprising considering that the Roman Catholic church has a history going back over 1500 years. The library has only existed in its present location since 1475, but the Catholic church has owned a library and book collections for much longer than that. The books were kept in many locations, but the center of the church has always been Rome and it made sense to keep all of the books there. It is said to be one of the oldest libraries in the world and it has manuscripts and scrolls going back to the 4th century. The oldest book it has is the Codex Vaticanus, which is a Christian copy of a Greek bible that has been dated to about 325 AD. The library contains over 1.5 million books and manuscripts. 8.600 books that were printed before 1500. It has coins, works of art, antiquities, and a whole range of other things. There are over 100,000 letters from the first half of the 14th century alone! The library is estimated to have over 85 km of shelving! So, is there a secret library? There is a section called the Vatican Apostolic Archive, which has been called the Vatican Secret Archive, but secret doesn’t mean what we think it means. Thanks to Dan Brown and his books, we assume that the Vatican are hiding things from us, but the library is private more than secret. The word “secretum” in Latin means private. It basically contains state papers, correspondence, accounts, and other documents that pertain to the running of the state. However, this section is most certainly not secret and any scholar can view the documents if they like. It is not easy to get permission to go in, but it is not impossible. You need to have a letter of recommendation from a university or a research institution, or a recognized scholar. Then you have to undergo an interview to make sure you are who you say you are and your reasons are true. If you are successful, the Vatican will write to you with permission and the date you can attend. Once you are inside, there are pretty strict rules as well. You are not allowed ink pens or photography equipment. You must wear gloves and the books you have requested are brought to you. You can only request up to five books a day. All of this doesn’t make the archives secret, it just means that the Vatican are doing what they can to protect their collection of ancient books. You would get exactly the same treatment and have to go through the same steps if you requested to see an ancient book in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. There are still some documents that are restricted. The Vatican archives were first opened up in 1881 when Pope Leo XIII was persuaded to open them up to historians. People started to study the documents in depth. Before this, the documents hadn’t really been secret, more restricted. Also, there wasn’t a huge amount of interest in them until probably the end of the 18th century. The study of history was not a common pastime until probably the time of the Industrial Revolution. In 1979 a historian called Carlo Ginzburg requested access to all of the archives of the Roman Inquisition, which was granted. Since then, when somebody wants to see a document, they are generally granted access. The documents that are still restricted are any correspondence or documents related to the current state and pope. Documents are made public 75 years after the end of a pope’s reign, which almost always means their death. This can be waived by other popes and sometimes is. The Vatican Library is a candy shop for historians. When we study history at school, we learn about numerous important events that changed the course of history and many of the documents connected to these events are kept in the Vatican Library! Henry VIII’s request for a marriage annulment, which led to the foundation of the Church of England. The records of the trial of Galileo and the trials of the Knights Templar. The papal bull excommunicating Martin Luther. Correspondence with historical figures, such as Napoleon, and various monarchs. And so many other things that would fascinate any historian. But none of them are secret. And this is what I learned today.

So. Was thinking about the Magnus archives and Dgm and like... I gotta do it. Which character would be affiliated with which fear??
Allen is def a Stranger. He has a clown theme, he got masks, he's just a Stranger okay. Very good at faking being human but since he lived in a circus and then with his master, who is not a normal person (here it's because he's an avatar of the Desolation very touched by the Web but he's also weird in canon so...) he just didn't get that white hair isn't that normal for humans and realized it only after joining the order - and at this point he couldn't change it because people would definitely notice such a change and he doesn't wants to out himself as a Stranger cause the order is okay with avatars but he still doesn't wants to scare people (he's also very good at not being Uncannily Strange).
I don't think Kanda would be an avatar, but I do think he would be a entity's creation. Maybe a creation of the Stranger since he was someone else before being Kanda? Or the Flesh since he heals himself? Or both?? Some avatars of the Stranger and the Flesh tried to create hm invincible humans? And like. Technically it worked. But not like they expected. Also Kanda dislikes Allen at first sight because he reeks of the Stranger (which is. Normal. He IS of the Stranger, after all) and he doesn't likes Strangers because they remind him of the scientists who created him and also because they're FAKE AS FUCK and he just doesn't likes that.
Before doing Lavi I would like to explain my headcanon for the Bookman clan. It's not exactly a cult like the Lightless Flame but it's kinda affiliated to multiple entities : The Eye, because knowledge and recording history, The Desolation, because no attachments, no friends, no love, no heart, and the Stranger, because really a new persona and name for each recording that's very Stranger. Every Bookman and apprentice has to be marked by these three entities. They have means to gain some small powers from these marks (like Oliver saw the roots even before becoming an avatar) but not as much as real avatars. Becoming an avatar is really not recommended by the Clan because to record human history you have to understand humans and to understand humans you have to BE human so no to become a fear monster. Becoming an avatar of the eye is slightly more acceptable than the others cause it's about knowledge but it's still frowned upon and the Clan would watch these avatars very closely.
So Lavi is not an avatar but he's been marked by the Eye, the Desolation and the Stranger (also by the Slaughter cause of the bullet he took and really being marked by the Slaughter is kinda usual for Bookmen since they record WARS, they HAVE to be marked by the Slaughter at some point and anyway I'm pretty sure everyone in the order is marked by the Slaughter because akumas are obviously creatures of the Slaughter but later). He got some small powers from this, like from the Eye he got the capacity to remember everything he hears and see (he still had a very good memory to begin with but the Eye's marking made it REALLY good) also a sort of small compulsion that makes people more open with their secrets around him but it's really small. From the Desolation he got a bit of pyromania and a crazy flexibility, he may not be made of wax but it sure looks he is. Also he can see body temperatures with his right eye, like a infrared (?) vision? Can see people through walls, etc? From the Stranger he got a really good ability to create personas and he adapts to new names really fast. He can also know when people are lying but he's not sure which entity that comes from (I was tempted to include the Bookmen's sneakiness that we saw in like their first two chapters and nowhere else?? Come one it's super interesting?? Lavi is just super sneaky and I never see that in fanfics! Fanfics writters I am very disappointed) also like Kanda he would know that Allen is a Stranger at first sight, I mean Kanda doesn't really knows that Allen is a Stranger he just knows that he reeks of Stranger not that he is one but yes. Even without the Eye's influence the Bookmen are trained to recognize any avatar or marks, so yeah Lavi would know. He thinks it's very interesting!! Of course. He never met such a nice Stranger avatar, it's... *drum rolls*... Strange *badum tsss* omg he would make so many Stranger jokes around Allen... It has the side effect of angering Kanda even more. He's also very intrigued by Kanda since he never saw anything like him it's just all very interesting.
I don't think Lenalee would be an Avatar either, she's just... Not like that? But I see her being very touched by the Lonely since she got into the order, before her brother came, she was alone in this prison that made her fight and she was just alone. I think that without Komui's presence she would have been an avatar of the Lonely. Also she's very attached to her friends because sometimes she still feels the cold of The One Alone.
Komui and a lot of people from the Science department are either avatars from the eye or heavily touched by it. They all like to know things and discover new things and a few of them actively try to become avatars because eye powers could help them watch over the exorcists, like Knowing when they need help or Knowing exactly what kind of uniform they need. When you enter the science department you feel really watched but in a good, warm-blanket way?
So in the end only Allen, Cross, some other exorcists and some people from the Science department are avatars uh. I guess it wouldn't be good to be an avatar in the order cause you kinda feed from humans, the beings you're trying to defend against akumas? I guess you wouldn't really need to feed if you're an avatar of the Eye ; all the people in the order have a tragic story and I'm sure half of them are permanently afraid. You just absorb the fear around you, I guess? Being of The End would also not be bad, I guess? You're surrounded by death so... The Vatican would totally experiments on avatars uh. Oh thats' why it's bad to be an avatar in the order! If it's an exorcist, the Vatican can't do anything cause they're already short on exorcists, but if it's a finder ? Finder are - for the Vatican - unimportant, so you can experiment on them! Also they're just as likely to become avatars as anyone else in the order since they're very exposed to... All this horror. Maybe even more than the exorcists!
Also I see the Earl being something like the Distorsion but with multiple entities? Like uuuuh when he was human (?? Idk?? Let's say at the beginning of his existence??) he tried to do a ritual and got the right idea, he needed multiple entities to succeed but hm. It blowed up or something. Pretty sure he and the Noah are at least 30% Slaughter (with Skinn being 75% Slaughter) he would also be End (cause he bring back the dead) and Web (cause he manipulates Akuma and also people)? Maybe Desolation too... The Noah are at least clearly not of the Lonely. The Akuma are hm creatures of the Slaughter + End and when they evolve (when they're more... Clever) they become creatures of the Hunt + End? (the End part is purely because of the made from a deceased human part) at first they're Slaughter cause mindless violence but then they become Hunt because they're more clever about their violence? Not sure if you can change entities like that but akumas are also very not human so...
Orrrr the Noah could be of the Extinction, it makes sense. Urgh, the dilemna...

@soufflefcrged asked:
What are some of Dylan’s favorite things? Scents, music, books, shows, places, colors anything you can think of that you want to talk about!
Dylan is not as complicated as on would think, but he also is in some cases. To say he isn’t complicated would be a full lie, but to say he’s extremely complicated isn’t exactly the truth either.
He’s difficult to actually know, but he does let things slip out from time to time about what he actually likes, enjoys, or where he is from. He knows he has to keep his true relationship with the Master a secret to most people because they will either; A) not believe him B) Believe him and say the Master is using him C) try to kill him or D) try to arrest him. It’s why he has to keep tight wraps on just who he is at times. Of course, this becomes more difficult when more people know just who Dylan is - up to and including the Doctor.
Dylan likes simple things from waking up in the morning next to his partner (preferably the Master), to smelling fresh air after quite sometime inside the TARDIS, and the smell of burning bodies.
He craves excitement and sometimes gets a little too trigger happy and at times it ends up triggering a manic episode, which in turn leads to far more destruction - that actually makes him ecstatic.
The one feeling that he loves (though he’ll never admit it) is having power over someone. The ability to chose if they live or die. He created his version of the compressor to keep them alive because he hated ‘killing’ them at at first, it was because he didn’t like the idea of killing the one’s who were shrunk, but the real reason was that he wanted to toy with them. Give them a slight amount of hope before tearing it away from them.
In regards to music, Dylan may have access to a almost every song he can get his hands on in the TARDIS database, but what he likes depends on his mood. However, Dylan rarely plays any music as it doesn't help him think. It’s nice to have when he’s trying to sleep as background noise, but he doesn’t actually have music on often or . . . if he does? It’s very rare because Dylan enjoys silence.
Dylan’s collection of books is extensive and shares a fair amount of the same type of books as the Master. Dark magic as well as books detailing the horrors of the universe - plus a fair amount of mysteries as well. Unlike the Master, Dylan adds to his collection from time to time and even has a fair amount of textbooks that relate to history, mythology, and even astronomy from various time periods. Dylan even has a few books from the famous Vatican Archives - which he stole because he just had to have sometimes the only known copy in existence.
Dylan also has a fair collection of TV shows and Movies he likes, but he doesn’t normally watch them. I mean, he can, but normally he only reserves those times for when he isn’t with the Master. He does, however, watch from time to time; the Amazing race (which he thinks needs more death), old horror films (the terrible ones), and of course anything to do with aliens. He also watches films and tv shows in the far off future - which he finds amusing when they get ‘modern’ earth wrong.
As for places, Dylan has always had an affinity for castles. He doesn’t know why, but it probably has to due with the fact of the Castle in the Masterful event. He also enjoys eating at the finest places in the universe - no matter their time - due to the fact he loves experiencing the food, but he does have a few places that he loves above all else. Not necessarily due to the time period - no, that isn’t it. It’s due to the fact of the food and the service.
Dylan once put a server in his collection because they were extremely rude and another time he put a waitress in his collection because she didn’t refill his cup fast enough. He also vaporized some poor kid once in Victorian times because they touched him. It honestly doesn’t take much for Dylan to get angry or shrink someone. He only vaporizes someone if he’s extremely startled and afraid.
There also is something about the color of Black, Red, and White that he enjoys. He doesn’t know why, but that’s something that’s stayed with him. He just loves the color of Black because it’s calming, Red because it’s hatred, and White . . . because it’s a blank slate to be used how he wishes.
In terms of clothing, Dylan prefers comfortable clothing, but usually something of a suit that’s of an older era in style. He rarely, if ever wears ‘normal’ street clothing because he dislikes them. If anything, he’ll wear a long coat with comfortable clothing underneath that is usually black or blue.
He also enjoys long walks in the dead of night on beaches that used to be used as minefields or are used a testing ranges. He enjoys walking by a volcano and then pushing someone in. He also enjoys the sounds of pure agony.
There also is a fondness for fish and chips as well as New York style pizza. Not to mention he loves Chili Rellenos, but not anything too spicy. If he eats meat, it has to be a very specific cut and the grade of burger he enjoys has to be high and at the very least . . . half a pound or higher. Normally, however, he likes grilled chicken - NOT fried, mind you. It has to be grilled over an open flame. If he has a soda, he has to ensure it’s made with real sugar and nothing artificial and he knows . . . if the soda is not right. He also likes his coffee black with the best beans in the galaxy.
He also enjoys spending time in the Zero room when he needs to relax his mind after a long day or . . . after a plan failed. As well as he enjoys massages from non-humans only.
He also likes to torture his victims slowly . . . personally . . . if he doesn’t shrink them or put them in his collection.
There also is a fair amount of time spent talking to the head of the Cyberrman he has in his room. He enjoys that quite a bit.

I would love a prompt of C.C. realising she is younger than Fran. And how our Niles reacts, of course :P
@missbabcocks1 Here we are, at last, my bestie! I hope this was everything you were expecting when you requested it!
But also, oh my God, I am so far behind on all these prompts! I’m so sorry everyone’s been waiting - work keeps me very busy! I will try to do more, more often, to get through them! I need to get back on track a bit, even though I work full time now. Besides, it will be good - who doesn’t love hearing about these two idiots and their adventures?
Niles had to say, there was something extremely pleasantabout C.C. having been told to go on maternity leave. In the days after thewhole extended clan had arrived in California, there had been so much work todo – particularly for both his wife and Mr. Sheffield at the studios – that itseemed as though neither one of them would get a break!
Fortunately, a small miracle had happened and Maxwell had,over the course of some months (as opposed to his usual years), noticed thatthe load was really too much for her to handle. Studio work, even forproducers, didn’t lend itself to anything apart from being on one’s feet allday when shooting and the rounder her belly grew, the more it was starting tobecome a concern whenever a live set inspection or meeting was called.
It was a relief for the butler when their employer hadfinally told her to simply rest at home for the remainder of her pregnancy. Notthat C.C. hadn’t put up a fight, of course. She seemed to have a constant worrythat things just wouldn’t get done if she wasn’t there to make sure of it, andfor the first long, few weeks, she hadn’t been able to help swinging wildly ona pendulum back and forth between “on edge and anxious” and “bored out of hermind”.
That was why Niles had done everything he could to keep heroccupied, which was what he found so pleasant about it, in truth. Having her athome meant that they got to spend more time together, just as they would’vedone had they still been at the mansion back in New York. They’d read books,watched movies, tossed playful remarks back and forth as he went about hischores – the works. He’d even bring lunch right to her lap if she was feelingtoo tired or uncomfortable to move.
As time moved forward and C.C. settled further into hermaternity leave, her worries seemed to settle as well. Not that they went awaycompletely, of course, but enough so that she could actually enjoy herself andnot think about working all of the time.
Not that she didn’t find some of that to do around themansion, as well. The office always had things that needed clearing, filing or reworkingand it wasn’t as though Maxwell would ever get around to it. So, C.C. had takenit upon herself to do a little bit of administration work, every once in awhile, whenever she felt the boredom creeping up on her again.
She had clearly felt the urge a little while after Niles hadbrought her lunch, because when he returned to the living room with his own sandwich(he’d cooked the bacon for this BLT to perfection, in his mind), her plate fromher meal was clean and she had retrieved another box.
She was sat going through the papers inside it, a greatCheshire Cat-like grin stretching across her gorgeous face.
He loved to see her looking so happy, even if it did alsointrigue him. What could she have found in that box that had made her sopleased? He could even hear her chuckling a little bit under her breath…!
Well, there wasn’t anything like having a little bit oftheir usual fun to ask her what was going on…
He sauntered over, allowing a grin to start to curl at thecorners of his mouth.
“You’re looking awfully chipper. Did Mr. Sheffield call tosay that he’s fired someone you hate?”
C.C. looked up and smiled at him brightly, “Better.”
“Oh,” he blinked in return, coming to stand over where shewas sat on the sofa, craning his neck a little to take a look at what she wasdoing. “Two people?”
C.C. half-rolled her eyes at him. He didn’t take itpersonally – he knew it was all part of the fun.
“No one’s been fired, Scrubbing Bubbles,” she told him. “Ijust happen to have stumbled upon an excellent piece of news.”
“Is that so?” Niles’ eyebrow raised and he leaned in towardsher, elbows resting on the back of the sofa. “Would you care to share thisexcellent piece of news with your now-very-curious husband?”
His wife pretended to think about it, before another verypleased grin began to spread itself on her lips.
She practically purred her answer, “I might, for a littlequid pro quo…”
That was an answer Niles always enjoyed hearing. He wasbasically finished for the day, not including dinner, which he could easily putoff for another couple of hours or so.
And he was sure he knew the perfect way to spend them.
“Well, you know I am always happy to scratch your back, ifyou scratch mine…”
His motion to lean down and plant a kiss on her lips wasinterrupted at the very last second, when C.C.’s hand darted out and she pickedup his sandwich off his plate, taking a bite out of it and putting the restback.
She chewed for a while, during which Niles could only try tostammer out a protest but fail, eventually just letting his jaw drop and hangthere for a moment until she was done and ready to speak.
She dusted her hands off as she picked up the paper she’dbeen reading, “Now, you wanted to know what I’ve been looking at.”
Niles frowned in slight annoyance at his plate, “Yes, and Icould’ve enjoyed one whole, complete sandwich to go along with it…”
C.C. rolled her eyes, trying to look unimpressed but notreally managing to conceal her amusement.
“I’ll make it up to you later,” she said in a voice that luckilypromised it without using those words, before going back to the paper. “Youwanna see what I’ve found here or not?”
After a moment, Niles sighed.
“Alright, you’ve got me. What is it?”
“There’s the yenta I know and love,” his wife grinned,gesturing proudly at all her hard work. “I’ve been refiling and reorganisingall the household legal documents. The Sheffields’ and ours.”
“Both sets?” Niles quirked an eyebrow, surprised. “Shouldn’twe leave the Sheffields’ files for them to sort out?”
C.C.’s grin dropped away from her face and she gave him ALook. They both knew exactly what it meant, too – he had just been so takenaback by it in the heat of the moment that the answer hadn’t really registeredto him.
The Look meant something along the lines of “Who are youkidding, Butler Boy? Since when have the Sheffields ever done anything that wecould do for them?” mixed in equal combinations with “Would you trust Maxwellor Fran Sheffield to do something like organise and keep legal documents?”.
He could only really nod in return, once the understandinghad settled in properly.
“Good point,” he said, turning his attention back to thepapers. “What did you find? I’m assuming, of course, that your good news comesfrom one of these pages.”
“You’d assume correctly, lover,” she lifted one single sheetof paper out of her lap so that he could see. “Check this out.”
Setting his sandwich down on the one clear patch on thecoffee table, Niles took and peered at the document.
His eyes then went back to his wife, “It’s a copy of MrsSheffield’s birth certificate.”
His immediate thought was to ask why she had been looking atthat particular piece of paper in the first place, but it was almostimmediately interrupted by the rest of his brain asking him who he thought hewas kidding. Fran’s birth certificate was a closer and more heavily guardedsecret than the contents of the Vatican archives; he would’ve looked withouthesitation, if he’d been the one doing the filing.
They both already knew that C.C. knew this, too. There wassomething especially warming in that – they knew each other, inside and out, andknew exactly when the other would be interested in something they’d found.
“Mm-hm,” she hummed pleasantly, as smug as a cat who’dgotten both the cream and the canary. “Notice anything about it?”
Niles studied the certificate carefully, looking for the onepiece of information that she could be talking about. There was one reasonnobody ever saw this paper, and it was the one thing they’d both truly wonderedabout their friend for as long as they’d known her.
Of course, he had the information that she was in the sameclass as Val at school, who had accidentally let slip one time how old she was,but there was something more concrete about seeing the proof firsthand. Rightthere in front of him, on the official piece of paper that recorded Fran’s birthday.Besides, what if Val also lied about her age (poorly, compared to MrsSheffield, but even so)? Or what if the hastily-used excuse that Val kept beingheld back turned out to be true (because, well, come on)?
It didn’t take long to find.
In the butler’s mind, he’d more than half imagined that herbirth date would look…off, compared to other people’s. That was, he’d thoughtthere would be a day and a month, but no year. His sense of logic had steppedin in the moments he’d thought that and told him not to be ridiculous – itwould be scribbled out with a pen, or redacted, like an important militaryrecord, or the dates and locations of stories that authors wanted to representas “real life” in Victorian literature.
But, much to his surprise, neither of those things weretrue. The date was there, in full.
And his eyes could only widen at the number printed on thatpage.
“No…!” he exclaimed in some disbelief, incredulous at havingthe proof positive there in his hands. “It can’t really be true! Surely…!”
“Oh, yes,” C.C. was on the verge of chuckling in puredelight, clasping her hands together in glee. “Our good, perpetuallytwenty-nine-year-old friend, is at the same time, somehow older than I am!”
As if to illustrate her point and celebrate at the sametime, she began to half-dance in her seat, shimmying her shoulders from side toside and wiggling her hips as much as her belly would allow.
Niles watched in amusement, his hand dropping away with thepaper still in it.
“You really are pleased with yourself for finding this,aren’t you?” he asked, mostly rhetorically because the answer was obvious toanybody who had working eyes.
His wife scoffed, still in the middle of her dance number, “Likeyou’re not happy to have finally fully solved the mystery! I’m surprised youdidn’t do this back when she first started at the-oof!”
Suddenly, she flinched, doubling over and clutching at herstomach, halting her in her seated tracks.
In an instant, the butler tossed the paper back into the pileand flew to her side, seating himself next to her as alarm bells immediatelywent off in his head, loud and ringing like the end of the world was on its way.In his state of dread and panic, an impending apocalyptic event would haveactually been preferable to what he imagined might have been happening.
What was going on? Was something the matter? Was it thebaby?!
“C.C., are you alright?!” he cried out, fear of the worststarting to grip at his heart.
Much to his relief, she took in a few deep breaths andrelaxed, letting her arms slip gently around her stomach.
“Yeah…yeah, I’m fine,” she said, raising an accusing eyebrowat her bump as a faintly entertained smirk made its way onto her lips. “Yourlittle servant spawn must’ve felt my happiness and decided to aim a kick at mylower intestine!”
Niles felt the last of the fear be washed away by the toneof her voice and the look on her face as she rubbed at her belly. She was fine.The baby was fine. Everything was fine. He could calm himself back down.
He could get himself back on track. Besides, he had afeeling that it might distract her from the glee of finding out for definitethat she was younger than Fran, and they’d all be allowed to go on with theirdays.
He pulled her into an embrace, settling one of his hands ontop of her stomach and patting it lovingly.
“Getting creative at running rings around you, even from inthe womb,” he beamed proudly. “We have a little prodigy on our hands already.”
C.C.’s half-smirk blossomed into a full one, “And you’ve gotyourself a little clone.”
Niles slid his hand over her belly, taking her hand andentwining their fingers, “You say that as though it were a bad thing.”
She pretended to think about it in return, exaggerating alook of contemplation and using her free hand to tap at her chin.
“Essentially having two of you around the place? Now, why onEarth would I think that was a bad idea…?”
He slid as close as he possibly could in response, leaningin so that his nose was nearly brushing hers.
“You wouldn’t. You love me too much for that…”
C.C.’s slightly hitched breath was warm against his skin, “Maybe.”
Niles felt the corners of his mouth twitching upwards, “Alittle.”
His wife played at being stubborn, “Sorta.”
It was at this point that the butler knew he’d won the game,“Kinda.”
He felt his lips brush against hers, before C.C. pulled awayjust enough to give him a teasing look.
“If our kid turns out to be as big a sap as you…” she lookedlike she was trying to think of a good threat, but came up with nothing.Instead, she simply shook her head. “I really have no idea what I’ll do.”
“I imagine you’ll be forced to finally melt and renounceyour throne. Though I have no idea where they’ll find another Ice Queen at suchshort notice…” he closed the gap again and quickly pecked her lips. “Unless, ofcourse, you’ve already melted.”
She was back to smirking again in an instant, in a way thatmade him think she thought she’d caught him out on something.
“You’re not distracting me out of it.”
Niles’ brow furrowed, “Out of what?”
“Being happy for my little age victory over Nanny Fine,” shereplied, poking him lightly in the chest.
The butler felt his face fall. Damn, she really was good. It truly did go to show just howwell they knew what the other was thinking at any given moment…!
Well, all he could hope to try and do now was downplay thewhole situation enough that she might not keep that smirk of hers for weeks onend.
“I hadn’t intended to distract you from that – our littleone did the job for me quite well enough,” he eventually counterpointed. “Besides, whosaid anything about it having to be a competition?”
C.C. seemed slightly put out by his question.
“No one, but I don’t think it would kill anybody toacknowledge it.”
Niles bit back a frown. She did have a point; she wasyounger, and she had every right to be able to say so. Many years’ worth of“old” and “ancient” jokes could easily be deflected away without trouble, withthat knowledge out in the open, as well as in mind.
Besides, it wasn’t as though not being twenty-nine tookanything away from Fran. Their friend had many things in her life to enjoy andbe proud of, and her age didn’t have any bearing in any of them.
So, he smiled, giving his wife a kiss on the cheek.
“Alright. We’ll talk about it with her tonight,” he said,before pointing a finger at her, emphasising that he meant what he was about tosay. “Using gentle words, though. You say you don’t think it will kill anybody,but you can never be completely sure.”
C.C., chuckled and grabbed his hand, “As you wish, ScrubBrush.”
The gesture was tender, and her voice amused. She wasagreeing to his terms with neutral feelings, but she was enjoying the fact that hewas being so commanding over it.
He couldn’t hold back a smirk over how it wasn’t the firsttime.
“God, I love it when you agree with what I say…” he practicallygrowled, thinking back to her words before about “making it up to him”.
His wife’s eyebrow shot up and she began to grin, clearlyunderstanding, “Hoping to cash in on that promise I made just now, are we?”
Niles pointedly checked his watch in return, “Well, we dohave a few spare hours before anybody is due to arrive home…”
C.C. cast her eyes quickly towards his sandwich, remindinghim it was still there, “What about your lunch?”
The butler studied her for a moment, and then looked atwhere his sandwich was sat waiting, the bacon and lettuce crisp against the soft,cool tomato and the bread cut thick from the loaf he’d bought only that morning.
He reached out, grabbed his prized lunch and took one bite,chewing it rapidly and swallowing before setting it back down and taking hisnow-laughing wife into his arms.
“I’ll finish it later.”

Alien Tech at the Vatican + The Jesuits + Archons ++
Cosmic Disclosure: Alien Tech at the Vatican I was guided to take a look at Corey Goodes blog a few days ago and the article that caught my eye was ‘Cosmic Disclosure: Alien Tech at the Vatican’ The article is simply the transcript of a discussion that David Wilcock had with his whistle-blower friend Emery Smith who has suffered many attacks of various kinds from the cabal due to his speaking out. “Emery Smith claims to have autopsied about 3,000 different types of ET humanoids. The day after we announced his coming forward, he was hit with an attack that landed him in the emergency room.” https://divinecosmos.com/davids-blog/1224-emery-smith/ Emery and David were travelling somewhere by car when this discussion was recorded. They were discussing the autopsies Emery made but the conversation ended up being about a visit he made to the Vatican library to get more information on a particular type of ufo…!! “So, a private organization went to the DoD [US Department of Defense] and the mil [military] labs I was working at, and they needed some technicians and some scientists to go to the Vatican to look at their archives, because they know that they had some information on a craft that was taken in New Mexico.” After nearly 8 years of learning new things from the places that I trust for information, I thought I heard it all. However, this discussion between David and Emery reveals things that were new to me. An example, Emery; “And, of course, the Vatican has always been a huge database. It has a huge archive of many things: artifacts and things they have found from space and have collected over many, many, many, many years. And they have an underground base under the Vatican. So two scientists and myself were deployed to that area to the Vatican to an undisclosed location in the Vatican. And we took an elevator down about seven or eight floors.” You will not be disappointed when you read this article and what it reveals. My reaction to it is something like this. My GOD WE ARE LIVING IN THE DARK AGES ON THIS PLANET WITHOUT HAVING A CLUE ABOUT IT. I released after reading this that if we were not in quarantine here on this planet that we would have reached the level of technological knowhow that we have to day already about 200 years ago. I’m guessing that if that were the case then at this point in time we would be in a position of where we could be nearly 300 years ahead in time from where we are now! I’m hoping that you will understand where I’m coming from when you read the info from Emery. Just to whet your appetite for reading on I will give a short quote from further down this article and then the link to the entire post. “Emery: It’ll be cities will be put up everywhere. I know even our government has contacted me to orchestrate and architect a special city here that’s self-sustainable, that’s off-grid, has its own communications, its own electric, and all this stuff, because they’re preparing to do this model everywhere.” …. Then this quote from Emery’s visit ‘inside’ (below) the Vatican David: But what you’re describing right now is like straight out of a sci-fi movie. It must have been just breathtakingly incredible. Emery: It was the most amazing thing . . . one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen, . . . David: Wow! Cosmic Disclosure: Alien Tech at the Vatican https://spherebeingalliance.com/blog/transcript-cosmic-disclosure-alien-tech-at-the-vatican.html TZ here again: I’m thinking of course directly that I hear Emery say re the special city “, its own electric, and all this stuff, because they’re preparing to do this model everywhere.” …. That ‘their’ plans to create this special city is not for the love of humanity – no – it’s the next stage in their plans to keep the sheeple occupied with something new and fantastic that they have created to keep us happy and still in quarantine and under control etc.…. that’s how they have always done it. It’s all a game to them our controllers – its all under their control and has been – BUT THEIR GAME IS SOON OVER. For the reader to understand just a little more about how the Jesuits work I will take some earlier information provided by Cobra as an example.
Cobra told us very early on, on his blog that the Jesuits had been controlling the ‘show on this planet’ for 500 years. We learned that a certain number of archons had incarnated into black nobility families and the archons were in control of the Jesuits. I must point out that so many are going to be shocked really shocked when all the truth comes out. For a couple of years (2013-2014) when posting, writing my website and blog I was still being fooled by Jesuit bloggers so called whistleblowers and helped to spread their information believing them to be true ‘truthers’ when in fact they were working in disguise for the Jesuits. You have to keep in mind that these wily, manipulative Jesuits are following – keeping control over all developments on this planet which means they always have to be ahead of the game and provide ‘good guys’ and ‘saviors,’ etc. for the next part of their quarantine control. Here an excerpt from one Cobra update called ‘The Jesuit Agenda’ from Nov 28th, 2013. …“The Jesuit plan is to let the Light forces purge the Illuminazi faction (Rockefeller, Bush, Kissinger, Cheney & Co.) and then secretly team up with the Rothschilds to take over the process of creating the new financial system. Their agents are present on endless negotiations for the surrender of the Cabal and they are trying to steer the agreements closer to the Jesuit agenda. This is the source of proposals to make the Pope the new M1 (monetary controller). This is the reason why the new Jesuit Pope is promoting the idea of a central world bank. They are also seriously considering the idea of allowing a worldwide debt jubilee so that they would be portrayed as saviours of humanity under the wings of »benevolent« Catholic church. They would then promote the Catholic cult in a renewed, more publicly appealing way, and gradually absorb other religions into it (starting with Buddhism) until they would reach their goal of a global religious mind programming cult, at the same time keeping all past atrocities of the Catholic church under the carpet. Through special compartmentalized CIA programs they have infiltrated the truther movement to the point that about 70% of intel in alternative media is disinfo coming directly or indirectly from Jesuit sources. I (Cobra) have a list of people and groups inside the truther / liberation movement that are either under direct Jesuit control or are manipulated by the Jesuits and it may or may not be released in the near future. The Jesuits are working under the command of the Archons to maintain the quarantine status of planet Earth. It is good to know that the Jesuit organization is a 16th century creation of the Farnese family, which is one of the most powerful papal Black Nobility families in Italy. One of the reasons the Jesuits have created WW2 was to orchestrate a worldwide gold grab to finance their black budget programs to maintain the quarantine status of our planet (secret space program, deep underground military bases). Operation Golden Lily was a Jesuit operation and general Yamashita was a puppet in the hands of the Jesuits:” to read more about this go to links provided below this article.” I would really like to recommend to everyone who is not familiar with Cobra’s early updates to go to this page on my website where it’s all gathered neatly update after update and you will find information about this planet that no other blogs would have been able to provide. HERE IS A LIST OF THE ARTICLES ON THIS PAGE – created in November 2014 The Elephant in the Room/Explosion of Information/True Storm of Disclosure Imminent Cobra’s Three Photos 1A] ARCHONS ~ FALL OF THE ARCHONS ~ MAY 8TH, 2012 1B] ARCHONS ~ FALL OF THE ARCHONS CONTINUED ~ MAY 10TH, 2012 2] ARCHONS ~ CURRENT ARCHON SITUATION UPDATE ~ MAY 26TH, 2012 3] ARCHONS ~ ARCHONS INTERFERE IN CABAL SURRENDER NEGOTIATION ~ JUNE 7TH, 2012 4] ARCHONS ~ HISTORY RE ARCHONS + THE VEIL [MATRIX] JUNE 18TH, 2012 5] ARCHONS ~ LAYERS OF CONSPIRACY ~ JULY 15TH, 2012 6] ARCHONS ~ EXPLOSION OF LIGHT ~ JULY 26TH, 2012 7] ARCHONS ~ ETHERIC ARCHON GRID ~ JAN 03RD 2013 8] ARCHONS ~ PLANETARY SIT: UPDATE ~ ETHERIC PLANE ~ OCT 15TH, 2013 9] ARCHONS ~ FALL OF THE ARCHONS UPDATE ~ JANUARY 12TH, 2014 1] JESUITS ~ THE JESUIT AGENDA ~ 28TH NOVEMBER 2013 2] JESUITS ~ Knowledge of the Dangers of Jesuits was Spread in the 1880’s Through the Work of Helena Blavatsky Channeling Master Kuthumi – Founding the Theosophical Movement 3A] The Jesuits the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers and their different roles from 13/09/2013 by TZS 1A] THE CHIMERA ~ APRIL 8TH, 2014 1B] CHIMERA ~ JULY 7TH, 2014 1C} CHIMERA ~ AUGUST 5TH, 2014 1D] CHIMERA ~ 8TH SEPTEMBER 2014 1E] CHIMERA ~ 16TH SEPTEMBER 2014 1F] CHIMERA ~ OCTOBER 7TH, 2014 The Secret Space Program Cont. from my website this is how I present the above list of articles; It has been a widely discussed question on this planet about who the ‘power behind the throne’ really has been. It was not until the 8th April 2014 that we received the final ‘key’ to this truth. Up until that date we have believed that the main archons who created the matrix/veil have been running the show via the core Jesuit group worldwide. We learned earlier about their being archons in physical bodies among the black nobility families. Suddenly we are informed about this other archon group known as the chimera. In later interviews with Cobra we have learned that these two groups of archons cooperate with one another yet keep to their distinctive groups. You will get all the details about these groups here on this page. My personal belief is that the so called ‘elephant in the room’ that Cobra referred to early in 2014 is none other than the Jesuit archon group. Why I maintain this is very simple. The Jesuits through their evil tentacles spread out across the entire globe through a multitude of schools, universities, and institutions of one kind or another and especially in the Catholic and Islamic world have affected the control of just about every subject of interest there is in existence. Of course, these groups alone would not have succeeded in this endeavor if not for the fact that they managed to unite forces with others. They have enlisted the support of various Reptilian groups and have been running affairs through the two main groups/families that we know as the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers. All of the details as to who controls what within these various groups are supplied here on this page in great detail. Most of the information has come through Cobra and the Resistance Movement – RM. I myself compiled the article about the Jesuits and the warnings given about them 120 years ago from the Ascended Master Kuthumi via Helena Blavatsky from a much longer Theosophical article. I have also compiled and written the article The Jesuits, the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers. To continue reading: https://www.veritasgalacticsweden.net/introduction/dark-cabal-rulers PS: I feel that I have to give a personal ending to this information and why I still feel the anger popping up when I consider the Jesuits and their control. I was born in Dublin Ireland. Many will be aware that this country was one of the most Catholic countries on the planet. Everything about my life was controlled from day 1 by the Archon Jesuit controlled Catholic church. I have always had a need of contact with spirit. When there was nowhere to turn I turned to Mother Mary and Jesus. I can say right now that this use of HIS name (Jesu) for ‘their’ control makes me angry. ALSO, do not believe that I am so stupid as to blame the entire Jesuit group. Probably 2 out of 3 Jesuits are good people. I am speaking about the CORE approx. 10% of them who run the show – probably no more than 14-15% of the Jesuits know that this group controls the entire planet! Aged 13-14 or so I became interested in reading about astrological sun signs. One Sunday sitting in the local Catholic church I found myself looking up at the roof of that right winged part of the church. There were 4 corners to that valve and lo and behold there are the four cardinal signs in astrology!! The Eagle (higher aspect of Scorpio) the water bearer (Aquarius) the Bull and the Lion. That’s when things got a bit confusing. We were warned about dabbling in things like astrology by the priests and nuns. Somewhere between 95-96% of Irish schools were run by various orders of priests or nuns. Chi Rho symbol + Alpha and Omega So why on earth were the 4 cardinal astrology signs on the roof of the church? They have a rule you know to show everything ‘out in the open’ yet concealed. By my bedside I have a memorial card from the funeral of my father who died in 2008. My sister and I chose the texts etc. that we wanted on this card to be given to friends and family. One thing that we did not choose was the emblem that is part of the design on the front and back! of this little card namely, the Chi Rho symbol. This is another symbol that I thought s lot about when seeing it in front of me at Sunday mass on the altar cloth etc. trying to understand its meaning. I was thinking maybe the P is for Peace and the X is like the x in the word Pax – peace. I studied Latin at school. But no not! The Chi Rho is the symbol of the archon Constantine the Great the Archon who created the Christian cult,found on coins of that time etc. X 1000’s of other places. See more evidence of this on the link above this paragraph. Here another excerpt from The Event info Page 2 on my website – paragraph heading is the 2nd Khazar Invasion The Roman Emperor Constantine the Great 306-307, converted to Christianity and in 313 issued the Edict of Milan which declared tolerance for the religion. which then led to the Council of Nicaea twelve years later. There, in 325 AD, under the influence of the Archons, Constantine gathered all the bishops, and all of the priests to standardize the religions of the Empire, in what amounted to a hostile takeover of Christianity by the Cult of Sol Invictus. The Cult was the official religion of the Empire and it was thoroughly infiltrated by the worshipers of Baal, who had come to Rome with the Royal families of the Egypt and middle-east when Rome had conquered and annexed them. Using the new Catholic Church, they implemented an empire-wide mind control program based on the idea of Heresy, allowing them to persecute anyone who would not agree their teachings. In the western Roman Empire, by 393 AD people were living in fear of reason and the personal connection to the Source. By this cause, the civil government was without practical direction and became easy prey for waves of Barbarian tribes to destroy the Roman Empire by substituting their armed control of secular law for that of the Empire. The Archon infested church created bishoprics to rule the hearts and minds, while giving the right to extract taxes to the Barbarians. It was at this time that the Catholic Church destroyed all of the Goddess Temples. The archon and reptilian {Khazar} invaders tore down each temple and built archon temples over these sites – with the intention of stifling the energy. *** The purpose of the use of Heresy was to destroy rights of people to think for themselves. Mystery schools, Christian gnostic groups and nature worshipping paganism were replaced with Christian cult mind programming. This programming was enhanced with the creation of virtual reality hells on the lower astral plane, which were then used by the Church to strengthen its position. The Bishop of Milan known as Theodosius the Great {this soul was totally Archon controlled} destroyed all the old mystery schools. He ordered the burning of the Alexandria library and the books were destroyed or put into the Vatican library. Link to this page here; https://www.veritasgalacticsweden.net/the-event/the-event-2
The last pic describes the ‘acceptable’ church version of why we have the Chi Rho symbol everywhere. Here also from ARCHON update nr 9 (list above) “The Farnese family is the main architect of the Cabal as they have created the Jesuits with a little help of the Borja family back in the 1540s. Immediately after that, they have built their first Pentagon in Caprarola near Rome: In their »map room« inside that building they have shaped the destiny of the world during 16th and 17th centuries: It is interesting to note that the world map from the 16th century shows Antarctica, which was officially »discovered« in the 1770s. Around that time the Farnese have decided to use Jesuit Adam Weishaupt to create Illuminati, elevate the Rothschilds to power and move the Farnese seat of power to Washington, DC. They have built their second Pentagon there. It is also interesting to see that Larry Farnese, a member of the family, is a senator: http://www.senatorfarnese.com/”
Map Room from 16th Century + Antarctica, which was officially »discovered« in the 1770’s I could go on and on about the wiles of these Jesuits but there is so much more info on the website links I’ve provided above for those interested. However, I just remembered one other link to information about the truth behind the WW2 holocaust from my website: This will truly shock anyone who has not heard of it before so be warned. I worked for many hours and weeks to provide an overview of a much longer article about this subject that Cobra provided earlier on in an update; Synopsis of The Vatican Holocaust Part 1 of 8 “The Great Pentagram of Evil” The Sacrifice of 18 million non-Catholics to the Devil/Satan https://www.veritasgalacticsweden.net/introduction/important-news PS – again! Finally if I hear or read any more comments whether on PFC or my blog that are in ANY WAY derogatory of Cobra and his non-stop work for the liberation of this planet I will remove them directly. I have lost all patience whatsoever with ignorance, stupidity and downright evil. I am glad that he finally spoke out himself recently. Despite the loss of his beloved Isis to the dark side people continue to try to attack him. OK they just don’t understand and they neither have the time or the patience or the willingness to do the work and discover the truth, so they are a sorry bunch who will eventually wake up. Namaste and Love

❝ ⚊ MR. NYE, we’re very lucky to hear you speak, today. we’d like to thank you for taking time out of your busy travel schedule in order to speak to us today about your findings. it’s rare that such a renowned archaeologist has time to speak about their experiences out in the field to such a widespread audience. now, do you mind telling us about your MOST RECENT DISCOVERIES ? ❞ THIS IS A TAG DUMP & INTRODUCTION
hello! i’m LEILA, i’m SIXTEEN (which means i am unable to smut or participate in uber mature material), i’m in the MST timezone, and i’ll be playing crispin aloysius nye (such a pretentious name, i know), who is a THIEF and a scoundrel. an abridged biography is below the cut with a few wanted connection ideas, and such. if you like this post, i’ll be sure to send a message to plot with you!
❝ ⚊ WHO WAS CRISPIN NYE ❞
the british-born, american-raised son of two fairly well-off journalists, crispin was no stranger to travel. his parents took him on safari’s throughout the serengeti before he was even able to walk. and, he rarely spent any time at their family home in new york. he was home-schooled through several tutors his parents would bring along on their expeditions. a young crispin spent several hours in ibiza learning to do math by counting the seashells on the beach, he spent a week in the vatican learning latin from catholic ceremonies, and even did his final for history by collecting and archiving the oral histories of several members of the maasai people in tanzania. there was no shortage of adventure in the young boy’s life, and he planned to travel for the rest of his life if he could help it.
he fell in love with the stories of each land he visited, and he couldn’t help but wonder about what lurked behind the decrepit walls of the ruins his family came across in their adventures. and by the time he was twelve, his parents saw potential in the way he excavated the world with his curiosity and keen eye for secrets. they pushed him to explore everything he could, and never turn down an opportunity to bring a secret to light. as journalists they wanted to give crispin the chance to explore his dreams rather than have them crushed, so he spent his childhood as a wanderlustful voyager.
he took a break from his travels when he was college-aged, knowing that it took more than just the love of travel to get around the globe. he needed a job, and he wanted more than a nine-to-five. when he was eighteen, he majored in anthropology with a minor in ancient languages and literature. for four years he studied hard for his bachelor’s degree, and went through six more years of post-baccalaureate education to receive his master’s and a phd for archaeology. at the young age of 27 he made his way into the world to begin exploring again.
❝ ⚊ A CHANGE OF PLANS ❞ [ t.w. DEATH ]
it wasn’t long before he got into the field again. focusing his attention on one of the most beloved cities of his research - pompeii. some of his finds gained him notoriety among the archaeological community, and even outside of that group. he got under the table offers from anonymous investors offering millions, even a billion dollars, for objects that he had acquired. crispin denied their offers at first, believing that it wasn’t right to give up artifacts to anything more than an educational institution...
but, crispin changed when he met one gianpreet kaur, a young woman who was doing a field study for her university. crispin and her began to see each other almost immediately, and as soon as she was done with her program, the two of them got married in paris, since crispin had a speech to give in a local museum in the same week.
married life was wonderful, and crispin knew that gia was the one, but they were rarely together. an archaeologist being married to an anthropologist was hellish when it came to finding time to spend together. crispin flew out of cities constantly, barely having time to kiss his wife on the cheek as he headed out of the door. and this continued until a fatal night where gia was meant to fly into rome to meet crispin on his latest study. the plane didn’t make it far before crashing, and crispin was overcome with grief for his young wife.
after losing the only thing that he truly needed in his life, crispin went off the deep end. on drunken nights, without a care, he sold items found by his wife to those anonymous buyers, not wanting to see any remains of her.
this was the beginning of his thieving, conning ways.
❝ ⚊ A NEW BEGINNING ❞
two years ago, crispin nye was last seen on a plane to bend, oregon to meet with a local benefactor. he hasn’t returned to the world of archaeology, or so others think. he’s become a member of rouse after they examined his ability to dream himself into another era.
he’s currently positioned in the era of ceasar (approximately 50 B.C.E.) meant to steal a ring that is full of riches a man could only dream of. it is also one of ceasar’s secrets to success, as it gives him the confidence to bring rise to the roman republic. without the roman republic, the world wouldn’t have the same philosophies, spread of technologies, or concept of religion as we see today. caesar began a revolution, but might crispin end it?
❝ ⚊ SPARKNOTES EDITION ❞
grew up travelling with his eccentric journalist parents, was that one kid who has crazy stories from growing up but thinks that they're absolutely normal and doesn't get why other kids haven't ridden on a camel throughout the desert while a sandstorm happened.
he got his phd in archaeology and he became ana archaeologist at age 27. he's now thirty-three and has already had a whole lotta life experiences.
he was married when he was 28, and she died only two years into their marriage. he still hasn't gotten over her, and in his past life he definitely tries to make his pain better by sleeping around.
in bend, he tries to stay pretty under the radar. he goes out for coffee, and to get the paper, but he spends most of his time asleep. he doesn't have a high regard for the people or the town. he only moved two-ish years ago, so he's a newcomer.
formerly a dealer of artifacts from the sites he would excavate. he only became a thief and such after his wife's death. it was initially to get rid of all of her things.
he's pretty closed off, but he hides his true self through his charm. he likes smiling a lot and looking pretty.
❝ ⚊ CONNECTION IDEAS ❞
PERHAPS, someone who recognizes him from his archaeology career and questions what he could be doing in bend, and like if he's a dreamer or .
a potential romantic partner either in the present or in past lives? considering he pretty much abandoned romance the moment his wife died, it would be interesting to see him changed by the prospect of romance.
someone from doyco/rouse that he's friends with and who he discusses his work with. they're typical work buddies, go out for a drink or two after their job is done on friday.
a neighbor who he literally hates. perhaps their dog has pissed on his lawn too many times, or he hates the music they blast during their parties when he could be sleeping.
someone he accidentally helped in his dreams? he's meant to be bad, but crispin is unwilling to kill or let someone else be killed in his dreams for no reason.
ahhhh i'm out of ideas, but if you have some let me know.

We sat down [a few years back] with Mirjana Dragicevic Soldo, one of the seers at the apparition site of Medjugorje in Bosnia-Hercegovina and the first to receive all ten secrets. We covered a number of issues with Mirjana — a humble, gracious woman whose daily apparitions ended in December of 1982 but who still sees the Blessed Mother once a month (as well as on her birthday).
Before we start, a caveat: we are at the mercy of translation. Sometimes, even with the best interpreter (and ours was excellent), there are miscommunications. Remember also that each seer has different experiences and secrets. With Mirjana, we covered both old and new ground.
For years it has been claimed that the Pope once described Medjugorje as the “fulfillment and continuation of Fatima.” Have the seers ever been told anything like that, we asked? (For two best books of seer interviews, see bottom.)
Yes, replied Mirjana. “It was said to Marija [another seer]. Our Lady told her, ‘What I have started at Fatima I will finish at Medjugorje.’” In fact if she ever visits another major Marian shrine, said Mirjana, it will be Fatima because “it is so simple.”
We asked her about Church approval for Medjugorje. Right now, such is in limbo, with the matter in the hands of a national commission of bishops headed by Sarajevo Cardinal Vinko Puljic — whose vicar said earlier this year that the matter will not be decided until the apparitions conclude. In 1986 the local bishop attempted to reject the apparitions, but the Vatican, in the form of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, intervened and took away the local bishop’s authority to do so. Since then the national commission has stated only that thus far it has no proof of the supernatural and will further investigate.
One of the reasons Medjugorje has survived is the strong support of John Paul II, and Mirjana is the only seer who met with him privately. That was in 1987, and she reports that he told her he had read the messages from Medjugorje as well as a book about the apparitions. During a ten-minute session the Pope never inquired about the secrets but asked how the Blessed Mother appeared. He also said that if he was not Pope, he would have visited there already.
If John Paul leaves, we asked, did Mirjana think Medjugorje would risk Church rejection?
“I really can’t say anything about it,” answered the seer. “All I can say is that I really have great faith in Our Lady, and I know that she will fix it all.”
Did she have contact with the Sarajevo Cardinal’s office?
“I’ve never had any contact with the Bishop or the Cardinal,” replied Mirjana. “They have never asked that. If they did ask that, we would respond immediately. We learned from both Our Lady and our own parents to respect the priests.”
The last time we spoke to Mirjana she revealed that in 1999 she had taken and passed a lie-detector test administered by Italian and Austrian scientists. What is it like to be a seer from a site that is now ranked by many alongside Lourdes? What about the many who flock to seers, who gather by the hundreds at her gate, who ask for prayers?
“A visionary is not special,” said the seer. “We can make mistakes like all of you. Blessed Mary reads our hearts and knows all these things that we want. If you pray, she is reading your hearts and knows all these things.”
Like other visionaries, Mirjana has emphasized that no picture, however beautiful, captures the way the Blessed Mother — known here as Gospa — actually appears. What about a large painting in her basement that shows the Blessed Mother in flowing blue robes? “It is a beautiful painting,” said Mirjana, “but we never saw any painting, any picture, that even came close to the way Our Lady looks. She has dark hair and you can see it down low, so it is long.”
Such pictures capture essential qualities, says the seer, but do not really look like her. Nothing earthly, not even miraculous pictures, can. The seer says that she is especially drawn, however, to the Shroud of Turin.
Did Mirjana, who is now 37 and the mother of two girls, ever contemplate becoming a nun?
“For seven days I sat in my room in prayer and fasting, and finally I realized that I really wasn’t invited to become a nun, and then I felt peace in my heart. When you feel that peace, then you will know that you made a good decision.”
I asked about other seers. “As you know, there are countless others,” I said. “We have the website and we look at information about many seers and sometimes we find out certain things that prove certain ones are probably not real. Our policy is not to besmirch any of them, if we can avoid it. When the Church speaks or rules, we post that. Do you think we should continue that policy, that when we know something we should just say nothing, or that with charity and love we should print what the facts are?”
“We need to love them and feel about them as brothers and sisters,” replied Mirjana adroitly, “and only then can we pray for them.”
I mentioned that my concern was for people who go to such seers and may suffer detrimental effects.
“I’m concerned about them as well,” said Mirjana, “and every day an Our Father Hail Mary and Glory Be is for that intention, so that people are able to differentiate between true and false apparitions. But they are our brothers and sisters. I would never say that somebody lies. Many times we have had the chance to meet some of those so-called visionaries, and I knew that the person lied, but I never showed it from any gesture. I prayed for that person to be able to realize in his or her own mind that it is coming from Satan and that he or she is committing a big sin.”
Has the Blessed Mother said anything about our priests?
“They need your prayers and your love. We have such great respect for our priests in Medjugorje. If a priest enters your house, no one will sit down before he sits down. Our task is not to judge whether he really represents Jesus or not. God will judge that. But at the same time God will judge us according to our attitude toward priests. We should go back to our parishes and show the people how much and how we should respect and love our priests. This is very important in this time we are living in.”
We hear many prophecies. At Medjugorje, there is firm mention that we face major events, including chastisements. We asked: what about the prophecy of three days of darkness?
“That’s not all true,” said Mirjana. “To me it is just to frighten the people, to make them look for something that is not real. ”
September 11?
Mirjana said that was not from God, but due to those who do not know the love of God, although she conceded that it was allowed by the Lord to happen, as would be the case with future chastisements. Is the Blessed Mother ever upset? “I never saw Our Lady angry or nervous,” said Mirjana (although the Blessed Mother does weep, she says — and wept much during the most recent apparition, due to all the unbelievers in the world).
“She said to first pray for unbelievers, because many of the bad things in the world, wars and abortion, all of these things are coming from unbelievers. She said, ‘If you pray for them you are praying for yourselves.’ If only you could see the tears that Blessed Mary has on her face because of unbelievers, I’m sure you would pray with all your heart, because this is the time of decision.”
When asked about the spiritual standing of the United States, Mirjana said the Blessed Mother “never mentions any specific country.”
When asked if the current Pope is the last one, she responded, “Why would that be?”
As far as her secrets:
Often the Blessed Mother comes to discuss them with Mirjana — and to lighten the load. If this were not so, Mirjana has said, she would buckle under the pressure of knowing what she knows — world events that are coming, along with events affecting Medjugorje and the Church. Of all the six Medjugorje seers, indications are that Mirjana has among the weightiest of secrets, including events that will come as warnings to the world, followed by a great sign and chastisements. These, of course, the seer does not discuss. They are secrets. Even a woman, she jokes, can keep a secret.
She will inform a priest before the first one. “I have to tell him ten days before what will happen and where.” She says there will then be seven days fasting and prayer and then “he will reveal that to the world– he does not have a choice whether to tell.” Of a permanent sign prophesied to appear on Apparition Hill, she noted, “Everybody will be able to see that it’s coming from God, that human hands could not make it.”
Why secrets?
“It’s God’s will.”
Of chastisements prophesied in her secrets, she said, “It will be visible when it starts developing.”
Mirjana said the Blessed Mother has instructed them not to talk about secrets but to pray. She emphasized that she could probably not reveal the secrets even if she wanted to. “If a person has Our Lady as a mother and God as a Father, that person has no fear,” says Mirjana. “Our Lady says fear is only those who don’t believe. Our job is to wait for that moment and pray.”

Euclid shows up....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid
“Use this!” he says:
youtube
The error was his concern for the triangle, it”s a Triangular Prism that we need to be concerned with, however, a Conical Prism is equally, perhaps more worrisome, than the Triangular one, if left in control of Religious Terror Witches & Warlocks.
That is what the sword Euclid brought, is for. To take the head off of those pesky prisms.
Take a whack at the Conical Prism, or a Triangular One, thusly, to remove the top, so you are able to have a look at the section that becomes apparent only when a conical prism is sliced by the Ell of a sword. Then, you get to see a Conical Ellipse. There is no other way to do the math on that, in order to obtain the illusive Conical Ellipse, requires that you first obtain a Cone with which to work, a Sword with which to cut, and take a swing at the Cone, to produce an Ell, in order to see the illusive ellipse. Any pointy witch hat will do.
You, are the Sword. The Ell is the slice.
The swing, is the throw, before the toss.
Take a few more whacks at it...
We have to turn it upside down and backwards to see what gender it is, Witch, or Warlock?
Keep whacking!
Google Search for: “Conical Ellipse” to learn more...
Hmmmmmm......
The thing I am looking for is not here.... where is the real ellipse at?
What have they done with the Ellipse?
Where, has it gone to?
I don’t see it.
Gone.
?
The thing I am looking for is a lopsided oval sort of squished egg shaped ellipse... the kind I remember from school.
Google is hiding it.
The only way to get one, is to slice cone on a angle, horizontally.
Like so:
The problem here, is Google is only showing us a equilateral ellipse, when the magic we want, is a lopsided, non-equate ellipse.
They only are showing askewed lopsided non-equate ellipses in such a way as to provide illusion that the non-eguate variety of ellipse is presented, as an equate, mirror-image-flip-flop-backwards rendition of a rounded off pointy hat setting on a reflective surface, to ponder over, thusly, as we are doing at this juncture right here on this post entry on Tumblr.
Think about that slice. Think about that cone. You should see, in your mind’s eye, that the resulting elliptical shape should have a fat side, and a thin side at the ends where the turn-a-round takes place.
But Google refuses to show you that, they can’t survive smart people who can think, that’s why they won’t show the non-equate ellipse, by which there just one way to obtain, and that is, to cut the top off of a pointy hat on a horizontal angle.
They show this Seventh Day Adventist lesson, to teach the same idea, with a twist and a kink, at church:
Start Whackin‘!
You, are the sword. The Ell is the slice.
The swing, is the throw, before the toss.
You need this Honing Stone:
And some Honing Oil:
With those, to sharpening the Sword of your Mind’s Eye. you are ready and prepared to use this properly and effectively:
They stole my Cracker Jack’s Secret Decoder Ring, so, I have to make do, with the tools I have available, like this Chex’s Decoder. That one works good for World Trade Central terror decoding.
You will gain skills necessary to use this more effectively also:
That is the Real McCoy. Cracker Jack’s Secret Agent Whistle. Get one and use it.
These are indefensible:
no... these are indispensable!
(in-disposable? We are not pawns, not playthings, not blow-up toys, not inflatable mattresses)
(see, that is an example of Google controlled religion terror cult changing my words I write. I have to do edits to correct what they change, they change more while I correct that.)

This whole Tumblr entry explains the reason why Walmart chose “Equate” for their name brand generic hygiene and first-aid products.

Why are there buckles on a Witches Hat?
Why are there buckles on the shoes of a Pilgrim?
Factoid: Witches are only found in places where Christians are looking, so, Christians and Witches are not mutually exclusive. Only little, is spoken or written about Warlocks and where they are found. The result is non-equate spelling errors in the Text, and Tongue, of The Words, for lack of equal representation among Witches and Warlocks where they are found in Tongue and Text.
(”Tongue in Cheek” old saying English Cliche’ shows up on Decoder Ring RADAR)
Why are Santa’s helpers called “Elves”? Do the math, make the cut, swing the sword, see the result, turn it upside, and backwards, apply to History of the Sword, History of Christian Crusades, History of The Vatican Choir, Polyphony, and Soprano’s with emphasis on non-equate representation between Witches and Warlocks where they are found in Text and Tongue.
(Tongue In Groove shows up on Decoder Ring RADAR, under “Jesus was a Carpenter” and, “Long Playing ‘LP’ Vinyl 33 and 1/3 RPM Album, Recordings)
“Elves” (apply a sword) = El + V’s = LV’s = Las Vegas = Lost Wages = “Lost my Ass” = “Where is my Jack-Ass?” = Pornhub = “The View”, a show by women, for women.
(“Ellen” TV Show shows up on Decoder Ring RADAR)
Scroll the bottom to watch off of Google RADAR within this post entry, and for more in depth explanation about this Fleetwood Mac performance on the Ellen Show:
[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VElI89y_-QI ] --------------------------------------------------------------------
Elves = Santa’s Helpers. But you have to turn it around backwards, and upside down, to see what gender it is.
“Elves” = El V’s = L V’s = The V’s = The Five....
Hmmm....
Elves = L V’s = The Vatican’s. (this goes on forever into the Russian Mother of all Hoaxes, you could keep doing math eternally, but without a cone, and a sword to start with, there is no way to see that the math is not equal when the Ell is applied with the sword on the cone. Google tries desperately to hide the non-equate ellipse. (see Japanese Pornography to learn more about suppression of non-equate ellipses in favor of more equate ones.)
Ellipse = E + L Lips (phonetically) = “Power God Lips” = (play the turn-a-round) “God’s Power Lips” = “non-equate horizontally askew conical section”
(fast-forward to Cancer) Apply “Cone Cervical Slice” for Russian Fractal View considerations.
It’s not possible to stop Christian Cult Global terror without getting dirty while doing so.
You must turn the Gain Knob to full maximum on your Guitar, Axman’s (Ax-Person’s) Rig. Even then, you are going to need an Ibanez Tube Screamer Effect Peddle, even if you already have a Marshall Plexi 100 Watt Head with 1960, AND 1960A Slant, speaker cabinets loaded with Celestian Greenbacks.
If you cannot obtain the Ibanez, there are many high gain effect peddles to choose from, but make sure you start with a search for the Ibanez Tube Screamer, so that you have the necessary Samurai training for using a Sword to produce an Ell, to make the cut, that will expose the Dirty Little Secret of the Vatican, Google, and Rock & Roll. Steer clear of the Russian Pickle.
The Wicken must begin Whakin‘, but definition of “Wicken” seems to be a guarded secret, while the Wicken are left unguarded.

Pope’s Guitar (Axe). 1958 Gibson Flying V (Epiphone Reasonable Facsimile Thereof is shown)
Pope’s Kapo. Secret weapon when traveling in the Holy See. Land Shark Kapo, for taking off the top three percent or so, at the neck.
Pope uses well equipped effect peddle board, is customizable, interchangeable per task requirements, and is disguised as regular, normal guitar player’s effects board, works good, not over the top, or too crowded.
Pope Hunts for these:
He uses Greek Mythology to lure and control them, like Neptune’s Harem, all are kept in line with a Pointy Trident.
(Brass section of Horns not shown. See Ronnie James Dio, or, Mike Bloomberg to learn more about the Horn Section)
Pope takes a Bow at the close of each show, with a new collection of Surfers.
(I see a “One-Wing Dove” right there, what do you see? “Sings a song... sounds like he’s singing... ooohhh... baby.... oohh... ohh”)
More secret weapon. That thing makes sure no one will copy-cat the Pope’s Unique Tonality and Gain, difficult to reproduce once the Pope is done making adjustments with a lot of help and Guidance from Amp Guru. Symbolically, that Variac is the equivalence of all of the Power Company Lineman who work for Rocky Mountain Power Corporation, and the five Power Utility Sub-Panels that extend from their. Think of them as “The Pope’s Shoe Horn, Brass Sexion”. (One-Hour Martinizer uses a “Symposium” for that same idea as the Variac when the Pope needs to make Tuning adjustments in the neighborhood.)
Think of all of that, as “Allah and the Virgins, Live at Red Rocks, featuring Joe Bonamassa as the opening act, with a cameo by Amos Moses, the Little Brother of the Pope’s Flying V.

youtube
6:01 pm:
Here, on Ellen, at the end, at the 5:00 mark.
Ellen mentions that there are two new Fleetwood Mac Members.
Stevie Nicks introduces them, unexcitedly, kinda mechanical introduction. looks like to me.
Ellen says everyone in the studio audience is going to be given complimentary tickets to upcoming Fleetwood Mac Shows.
Stevie says “the next live show is in first week of October, details sound sketchy at best, not too sure, have to check the calendar of events, to make sure” sort of, loosely translated.
The Ellen Show Video was posted to YouTube one year and four days after the Mandalay Bay Concert 91 Las Vegas Shooting. Has a “Anniversary” vibe going on.
Those two new guys that were introduced, seem to represent “January and February Secret Knowledge about the raping and theft of the Old Ten Month Calendar” that no one knows about. I see them as two “Blood Moons”, stuck at the end of that Old Calendar, rather than the beginning where they really were introduced as a cover operation 2021 years ago, this week when the Christians seem to have initialized the Pirating they are still doing currently.
Questions:
“When was the airing of this Ellen episode?”
“What was the actual film date at the sound stage studio w/live audience?”
The Ellen episode has “Time Warp Terror” qualities. I suggest that the episode aired a year after it was filmed in studio. I suggest that Ellen knows everything there is to know about Mandalay Bay and Concert 91 “shooting” event in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. I suggest that the studio audience participated in some way at the Concert 91 October 1 2017 event in Las Vegas.
I suggest that Ellen Degenerous is located at 535 Jackpine Drive Grants Pass Oregon 97526 right now, at the Janice Freeberg residence, as I write this Tumblr entry today, January 2, 2021. I suspect Ellen is portraying Janice Freeberg to fool federal officers assigned to Jackpine activity.
I’ve seen Ellen Degenerous at the Freeberg’s before, driving Janice’s Ford F-250 crew cab diesel pick-up truck, white, old, worn out truck.
This video goes deep into a rabbit hole of danger. I smell Agent Rabner, who I think is a Medford FBI officer, associated with the cover up of Las Vegas Concert 91 fake shooting, all done here in Grants Pass Oregon, where the event fake shooting was rehearsed throughout the city and county area.
If Rabner, then also the Veterans Administration Facility on HWY 62, Crater Lake HWY somewhere near Medford, or White City Oregon, is involved. Where Rabner goes, so goes that place.
“Degenerous” = “When you use a xerox machine to copy an original, then, use the copy to make another copy, of the copy, of the original, then use the copy of the copy to make a copy of the copy of the copy of the original.... etc, and so on... eternally, until the original is no longer recognizable in the forthcoming barrage of stacked copies = Degenerous”.
“Ellen” = “El en” = “The en‘ “ = “The End” = “God’s End” = Eternity.
God’s End = “Total Anal eye eh? shun” (Canadian Dialect Vatican Speak, w/Celestian Greenback’s x four, or combination of any Greenback’s w/Creamback Celestian speakers, Open Back Cabinet specification produces less punchy bass, at high volume levels, w/parallel vs serial wiring options available, so, Ann Wilson is also nearby, or not far up the command chain from Ellen, for real, right now. Also, open back specs produces maximum diaphragm travel at the drivers in two directions from center due to absence of internal back pressure. [see positive crank case ventilation, internal combustion motors, PCV Valve, about 3lb’s. pressure is nominal for that] with addition of phase shift, the Ellen becomes a binary event that can go in unpredictable directions, extreme danger, caution advised)
Also, the introduction of “Two new guys” at the “5:00 Mark” is notable that “Five Minutes” is Universally understood in all languages globally that “Someone is going to get fucked, a quickie”.
Those new guys might be in deep yogurt there.
Universal Studios already hijacked and stole all of the “Universally Understood Languages”, so, that further supports what I already have been saying that NBC, Universal, Comcast, are the producers, engineers, actors, murderers.... “terror army giant size cell”... who are responsible for carrying out the Concert 91 attack, one that gained hospitals and enormous casinos for the terror army’s addition to their SAG collection of spoils of war, and more, w/Bonus of Lot’s of Souls to add to the Pope’s ever growing collection of those.
youtube
More:
Here, at US Festival (I was there too), at 8:00 mark, Stevie begins to go out into the audience, a place she does not go often, there are some security, very young “edge of seventeen“ looking fellows, who form a “Football Defense Line”. Stevie plays either as Center, or as Quarter Back, maybe as both symbolically. She is protected, by a symbolic advance towards her, as she is “holding her ground“ there, on “the shoulders of edge of seventeen”.
youtube
You could say stuff, and keep on saying for a long time about small details of what happened, not only in the audience, but also as she sort of “Bunny Hops” her way to the edge of the stage where she motions that she wants go out there. She is wearing tall heals, yet is firm on her feet while hopping from the levels of the stage. There is a lot of “Russian Whore Meets Markus” story telling going on, Stevie appears to me as a captive slave to the British Entertainment industry.
I rarely defend any entertainers, but I see the Stevie Nicks is extraordinary in a number of ways, as is Ozzy Osbourne, but the two are nothing alike one another, they both seem as slaves to me. Ozzy, was punished for whatever it was that pissed off his captors when they gave the “Prince of Darkness” a TV show, cameras everywhere in his house, millions of people watching. So much for Darkness, eh?
So, I want to suggest that Stevie is a slave, she is forced to sing the songs where the terror messages are built into for Fleetwood Mac as a Pirate Ships Captain giving musical orders to terror soldiers in the field.
I don‘t have an opinion about the other band members, other than knowing that many of the famous guitarists are trained by the Vatican at the Choir, so that is something to consider.
There in that photo above, Stevie stands on a speaker cabinet, seems to use it as a “Soap Box”.
It’s more than likely that I am just a sucker, am wrong, being fooled with Hokus Pokus, but that does not change the focus.
“The clouds never expect it when it rains But the sea changes colours But the sea does not change So with the slow, graceful flow of age I went forth with an age old desire to please On the edge of seventeen”
The See, does not change.
“The Pope’s change from time to time, but the Jim Dunlop, is always the Jim Dunlop.” ~self quoted.
Online lyrics for that song say:
“Just like the White Wing Dove”
I hear:
“Just like a One Wing Dove”, and I always have heard it like that.
An injured dove, caged, maimed, can‘t fly, is crying, everyone thinks the bird is singing.... “Ohhh , baby, ohh, ohhh”
That is more reason I feel she is a victim.
I am not a huge fan of Fleetwood Mac, I do like the music, but had I been a huge fan, I would have seen these signals long ago, maybe I did see and write about it the same way before, it all seems so:
“Hauntingly familiar”
There is no one watching the baby, so: ♪♫ “none of this matters” ♪♫
=============================
8:14 pm:
The Jim Dunlop, Cry Baby Wah.
Think of it as Chum, made of babies, and souled by the Ron Popeil, as seen on TV, on the Jimmy Swaggart 700 Club.
=====================================
8:41 pm:
Edge of Seventeen has a lot going on in the lyric and live presentation, no one has ever survive long enough after knowing what it’s about to find any help to stop the madness. The song is about a three percent taking of victims at a venue, any venue where people gather, are drawn to in numbers.
There is a place in the song where “Suddenly. there was no one left standing in the hall”. That is the taking at the concert, Dio style, with a Bloomberg twist.
This part here quoted below, is the result of the Three Percent Taking of victims, where three percent of the audience was killed, their ID’s processed, look-a-like replacements take their place in life at the homes of the victims, and the Vote for SAG Shills on ballots, which is the whole point of why so many people are being slaughtered.
This part in the song is heavy on the back-up singers in duplicated harmonizing delay/echo sort of back up repetition, and is the orders from On-High at Trudeau/ Ann Wilson terror command HQ in Hollywood/Quebec. The duplicated back-up singers who follow Stevie’s lead vocal, are the replacements, symbolically, and are going to be Voting, at the Landslide that follows the Edge of Seventeen. All of the information necessary to stop that from occurring is here on this account... there is enough information here to stop 90% of all of the terrorism on Earth if there were some Global Security persons who are willing and prepared to apply the information towards ending terror, and beginning peaceful existence.
“Well I hear you in the morning And I hear you at nightfall Sometimes to be near you Is to be unable to feel you, my love I'm a few years older than you (I'm a few years older than you) my love”
=================================
9:03 pm:
Why is it called a “Landslide” if a candidate wins an election due to overwhelming popularity?
Because the news media needed a workable label for talking about elections covertly within a news story about a mudslide after a rain, or other Tectonic Plate sized terror controlled earth moving done by terror soldiers who get their marching orders from newsmedia about voting orders, details, updates.
Because Landslide is a earthly word, so is is terra cotta, it’s all about terrain, ground, mud, green grass, when the high tides allow access to hard to reach ports of entry, at the voting booth where the landslide is indeed the county side slipping away one family at a time.
So again, Fleetwood Mac demonstrates their place in the terror command Chain.
We need to find out if Stevie Nicks is a scapegoat set up to take a fall in event of terror meltdown, or, if she is just another terrorist bitch killing US Citizens.
Make her wear a pointy hat, tell her Euclid is here, wants to talk to her about ellipses, Top Hats, Flying V’s, and stacks of Marshall’s... bring a sword. see if she wears the hat, or starts to sing.
=============================
9:45 pm:
Local Update:
It’s quiet and drizzly outside, is warmer than has been in some time.
A walk to the mailbox presented my DMV Registration tags I sent for last October. I was sent an 8 and 1/2 x 11 inch peice of paper to tape onto the car in lieu of the real tags, and an explanation that Oregon ran out of tags to send to those who had re-registered their cars, and, that due to COVID, all of the DMV offices are closed down indefinitely. So, that is good news, I don‘t have to be concerned about the Paper Police telling me I taped the paper in the wrong place, however, they will find some other thing to terrorize me with, that is why the tags showed up.
Electric bill came today, I will be needing to mortgage the house to pay it.
My vision is very poor today, and more than once I felt as though I was going to fall over due to vertigo. There are solid particles in my eyes again, but I have not encountered anyone today to my recollection that could have put the glass dust in my eyes.
That Dietrick trash can has the lid on it now, but the can is still there.
There are unusual lighting conditions all around the area with lighting on the houses in places that I don‘t recall seeing lights on before, since all of that is terror communication, it’s something I try to look at, if only to determine normal from abnormal.
Unusual interior lights at Monroe Offensive Surveillance Travel Trailer at the entry.
At Myers, I can see that yard from where my car is parked. It’s not terrebly unusual to see literally every light in every room at the house all lit up at once for days or weeks in a row. Tonight there is a Half of all of the lights in the house” turned on. Terror SDA will turn on many lights at their homes making illusion that they are there, when reality is that they are out on attack. That condition is done a lot here, so that when take a walk and see that so many lights are on somewhere, I just assume that the people are there, and are not sneaking up behind me with a sword, only to find that there is someone sneaking up behind me with a sword while I am taking a walk to the mail.
A single solitary bright light bulb at Myers that is visible in a window from the road tells me things are abnormal there at Myers.
That green lightbulb at the roadside at Freebergs tells me things are unusual at Freebergs. Had there been a string of wadded up blue lights at the roadside in a bush and on, that would be normal.
There are some very unusual lighting happening on the hillside to the east at the top of the hill. Lots of bright house lights up there, not holiday lights, but looks like internal lights in the windows at places that don‘t normally have any lights on at all. normal would be one bright bulb on at the house with the balcony that is in line with and overlooks Jackpine from there, pretty much all other lighting up in that neighborhood is not usually present.
Dietrick’s has the wrong yellow house light turned on, something is abnormal there.
Clyde Baum’s place is kinda too far to make assessments, but one thing that can be said is that there is “Old normal” that ended about two months ago, and there is “new normal” that started to happen there with lighting habits at night.
It’s still dark at Bell’s 445. There was one interior light on last time I walked down the road last week, I can‘t see it unless I go towards Chartrand’s, so I don‘t have reason to go over there, and it’s too dangerous for a leisure stroll to the big pond on Jess Way were I used to enjoy taking a walk to many years ago, there were some giant size toads in that pond last time I went that far, about fifteen years ago, fun to watch them.
I did not see any holiday lighting with exception of that one string around Myers front door that has been there for some time.
520 were Mystery Pot Grower Lady was at, is not all dark, but is mostly dark, as per usual. There is a light in a room that I can see immediately when I step outside about 500 feet away, it’s always on, been on for more than two years, never turns off. There is a small glowing light on the ground in the driveway there that is unusual, can be seen from the road. 520 is famous for use of small, blue glowing lights, many of them arranged in a pattern in strange places. I have seen those placed on the roof of a storage/utility building there just for a day or two, then they move to somewhere else, or are gone. I counted eleven of them once inside of a black Volvo station wagon that is or was there. The blue glowing lights are the size of a smart phone screen. To see so many in a Volvo was weird, considering that the Volvo has not gone anywhere for about two years. That night was the night when Prince Charles Windsor was on the road with a Royal Guard, and Elizabeth was walking on my driveway when I returned from fighting with the guard, and Charles, about one year ago. Elizabeth’s hat was in my woods after that for some time. I did not want to touch that, toxic big time to have that hat in your hand, bad enough that it was in my woods. I can‘t think of anything that is much more toxic to have than the Queen‘s hat, it’s about as toxic as the head of Harry. That is pretty darn toxic.
That said, no help has come. If helpful people are around, I don‘t see them, none have bothered to speak with me, there have been no incoming telephone calls from any one since Christmas that I answered, and only one other call that I did not answer from that fake doctors at Pain Specialists of Southern Oregon terror cell SAGClubMed and MedDems terror highly offensive murderous bastards, who called and left a message, that I have not retrieved. There has been no email communication, carrier pidgeon, smoke signal, message in a bottle, genie, or note of any kind left somewhere where I might find one. It’s been more than ten years since I had a conversation with anyone other than a store clerk about the cost of groceries and the price of shopping, with exception of a call from fake family every six months or so, interfered by others manipulating the calls with electronics at some remote terror controlled location.

My account is compromised at this time, I am in a competition with someone who is remotely making the account pages go haywire in a number of ways.

Binge! Part 2: The Re-Binging
I’m often put off by long book series - considering how often I complain about being suckered into the first book of a series, this isn’t surprising. However, sometimes I’m willing to put in the time to binge a whole series.
Like, for example, the Barker & Llewelyn series by Will Thomas.
So I binge-read the first 10 books of this series (well, 10.5, there’s a novella called An Awkward Way to Die ) in one long, dizzying binge last year. And, lucky for me, there’s a new book out: Lethal Pursuit! Pretty much exactly one year from the release of Blood is Blood!
But! If you haven’t read the first 10.5 books, here’s a review:
BOOK 1 - Some Danger Involved: Your average detective enquiry agent-duo origin story featuring brilliant detective and his new snarky Welsh sidekick!
BOOK 2 - To Kingdom Come: Barker & Llewelyn go undercover and build bombs for the Irish!
BOOK 3 - The Limehouse Text: Barker & Llewelyn face big trouble in London’s 19th Century Chinatown!
BOOK 4 - The Hellfire Conspiracy: Barker & Llewelyn fight human traffickers, secret societies and such!
BOOK 5 - The Black Hand: Barker & Llewelyn fight the Italian mafia!
BOOK 6 - Fatal Enquiry: Barker & Llewelyn fight Barker’s almost comically evil arch-nemesis!
BOOK 7 - Anatomy of Evil: Barker & Llewelyn fight Jack the Ripper!
BOOK 8 - Hell Bay: Barker & Llewelyn Present: Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None!
BOOK 8.5 - An Awkward Way to Die: Barker & Llewelyn solve a case in, like, 20 minutes!
BOOK 9 - Old Scores: Barker & Llewelyn Present: Japonism in Late-19th Century England!
BOOK 10 - Blood is Blood: Barker is put temporarily out of commission by an explosion! Llewelyn must solve the case himself! Who should show up to help but Barker’s long lost brother??
BOOK 11 - Lethal Pursuit: Barker and Llewelyn are hired by the Prime Minister himself to transport an ancient manuscript to Calais. Sounds easy enough! Except Barker seems more interested in investigating the death of the man who brought the manuscript to England in the first place…
So! Lethal Pursuit! It begins with Hillary Drummond, recently arrived to England from Germany (somewhat newly united! Kind of!) he’s on the run from some blue uniformed youths after the satchel he’s carrying, which contains this book’s MacGuffin an ancient, and very valuable manuscript. Drummond almost, almost makes it to the Home Office when, gasp! He’s run through with a sword. Then he walks into traffic and is run over by a cab.
Or, as it’s known in London traffic: Tuesday.
Meanwhile! It’s January! 1892! Llewelyn is a happily married man, as he loves to mention roughly every two pages. Along with being a happily married man (did he mention that he’s married now? Because he is) he’s also now a partner in Barker’s Detective Private Enquiry Agency. Barker has been moving a bit slower since his leg injury during the events of Blood is Blood, but, instead of treating Llewelyn like a full partner, Barker continues to treat him like an assistant. Which rankles Llewelyn a bit but hey, at least he’s married to the love of his life Rebecca. Only they still live in Barker’s house - he’s renovated the first floor for them and everything. Anyway, Barker and Llwelyn receive a summons from Prime Minister himself! The British government has the MacGuffin, and they want nothing more than to have the manuscript sent off to the Vatican archives and forgotten. But Barker is more interested in the mystery of who killed Hillary Drummond and why. Rather than immediately deliver the manuscript to Calais like the Prime Minister asked them to do, Barker hangs onto it. See, this manuscript is, apparently, a new gospel. Which is important because...reasons?
OK, so after 11 books, I’ve noticed that the Barker & Llwelyn series involve a lot more religion than I know anything about. I mean, when it comes to the religious category on Jeopardy, my answer is always “Jesus.” I’ve never read the Bible the whole way through - I read Acts of the Apostles in high school for an assignment, for which I had to actually go out and buy a Bible because the one we had was a family heirloom that couldn’t be opened without falling to pieces. In my lifetime I’ve attended a grand total of two church services - one when I was baptized at the ripe old age of 7 (I guess from ages 0-7 I was naught but a sinful hellbeast) and once in Germany I attended an Easter mass in a thousand year old cathedral because it was literally the only thing open on Easter Sunday in the whole town. Upper Franconia is suuuuper Catholic, you guys. Anyway, I took communion at that mass just to see what the body of Christ tastes like (burnt toast, I was disappointed). Does that mean I’m Catholic now? Hurray for gold-plated everything and indulgences? I mean, I’m not even 100% sure what I was baptized as back when I was a 7-yr-old unbaptized hellbeast…Lutheran, maybe? I think? I do enjoy posting lists of complaints on peoples’ doors. I mean, I could check, but that would require getting up and I both don’t want to and really don’t care all that much. Anyway, long story short: religion is not my strong suit. I don’t know the difference between a Baptist and an Episcopalian and a Methodist. Perhaps I should but honestly…eh. My point is, when Will Thomas writes about a manuscript that might be a new gospel written before Luke or Matthew or whoever...I just sort of smile and nod and go "yeah sure OK" and have zero idea what that might actually mean or its religious significance. I just hear “1000 year old manuscript” and think “that sounds awesome, gimme.”
Back to the book: this manuscript is so valuable, the people after it are willing to kill for it. Which puts Barker & Llewelyn in an awkward position. Even more awkward is the fact that Rebecca’s family, who seemed so cool in the last book, have now decided to shun her for marrying Thomas, a gentile. As usual, Barker & Llewelyn are caught between a rock and a hard place. Can they deliver the manuscript safely to the Vatican? Can Thomas repair the relationship between himself and his in-laws? Will Rebecca ever learn how to make a decent Pain au chocolat? Will we ever, ever meet Thomas’s massive Welsh family? Will Rebecca ever demand to get to know her small army of brothers- and sisters-in-law? Will Barker ever propose to Philippa? Will I ever learn the difference between various sects of Christianity? Find out tomorrow in Barker & Llewelyn: Lethal Pursuit! Same bat time, same bat channel!
I love this series. I am well and truly hooked. Barker & Llewelyn are a more down-to-earth Holmes and Watson. There is just the right amount of action, historical detail, and mystery to satisfy any Sherlockian desperate for some 19th century English mystery. I don’t know of any other book series, save Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries series, where I’ve stuck around past the 8th or 9th book. So many books! Not enough time for serieses! I mean, sometimes I entertain the thought of binging all 900,000 Discworld books, but there are so many other things I’d like to read, too…I wish I were a faster reader. Better yet, I wish I could be like the Doctor and just flip through a book and absorb all its contents at once. That’d be awesome.
Still. I adore Barker & Llewelyn - I will absolutely be there for any book they’re in, even if the series goes the full Anne Perry and goes on and on for like, 20+ books. I’m here for it. And I am on pins and needles for the next book. I really, really, really want Thomas to reconcile with his family in Wales. I want Barker to actually acknowledge that Philippa Ashleigh is his girlfriend. I JUST WANT MORE, DAMN IT!
OK, for lack of anything else to say, let’s fancast this thing.
OK, so Barker would obviously be played by Graham McTavish, aka Dougal from Outlander.
Admit it, he’d be absolutely perfect, right? Come on. I mean, just look at that face.
Thomas Llewelyn would be played by Taron Egerton because he’s Welsh and absolutely pretty and tough enough to be Llewelyn
Yesssss.
Mac would be played by Paul Ready because Paul Ready is beautiful and I love him and would cast him in anything. Plus, I could see him as the finicky perfectionist Mac. Plus, I still ship Mac/Thomas, and I think he’d play well against Taron Edgerton. By which I mean they’re both gorgeous and I’d enjoy watching them.
Jeremy Jenkins would be played by Adam Nagaitis because he’s awesome and he’d be perfect as the squirrley / drunk half the time Jenkins.
Ho would be played by Benedict Wong because he would be perfect, though I’m not sure if my fantasy BBC/ITV/Netflix series budget would have enough money to get Benedict Wong. He’s got Marvel money now.
Rebecca Llwelyn nee Cowan nee Mocatta would be played by Jessica Brown Findlay because, eh, why not. I’m still traumatized/pissed off about Sybil’s death on Downton Abbey.
Tchéky Karyo as expert chef Etienne Dummolard because I can seriously picture him going into a long French tirade and throwing shit whenever Barker disrespects his cooking.
Michelle Gomez as Philippa Ashleigh, Barker’s Girlfriend, because I would love to see her and Graham McTavish as Barker snipe at each other.
Gemma Chan as Bok Fu Ying aka Miss Winter, Barker’s ward, because she is the perfect combination of elegance and badass.
Gaten Matarazzo as Soho Vic because I’m absolutely sure he could pull off a British accent and annoy the shit out of Thomas,
And this dog as Harm. Look at this dog!
Awww!

Third Secret of Fatima: The Best-Kept Secret of the 20th Century
Few enigmas of the 20th century have surpassed the mystery of the Third Secret of Fatima. Mary entrusted to the shepherd children a secret in three parts. The first two parts of the secret were made known in the 1940’s, when Lucía published her memoir. But the third part of the secret was to be revealed only with the permission of the Holy See. As the Popes of the 20th century one by one refused to reveal the secret, it seemed that it would be forever lost in the archives of the Vatican.
Secrecy breeds speculation and much speculation was made as to the content of this third secret. Some declarations made by Lucía complaining that the Holy Father had not made the consecration to Mary requested by the Blessed Virgin led some to think that the Third Secret contained apocalyptic predictions that the popes preferred to reserve to themselves in order to avoid panic.
After the May assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II in 1981, speculation began to turn around his person. He became the Pope of Fatima, even making a pilgrimage to the site and placing the bullet that had wounded him in the crown of the image there as a sign of thanksgiving for her maternal protection. He said that “one hand pulled the trigger and another hand guided the bullet.” It is indeed amazing to note how the bullet was able to pass through his body in very sensitive areas without hitting any vital organs.
Nearly twenty years would pass before the Pope would publish the secret. There was a certain effort to publish it in 1984 and another current wanted to reveal the secret on a May 13, in commemoration of the anniversary of the first apparition. As Russia was specifically mentioned in the first parts of the message, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to fresh speculation.
The text of the Third Secret was finally published on June 26, 2000. The shepherd children had seen an Angel appear with a flaming sword in his hand that seemed to catch the world on fire. But the presence of the Blessed Virgin prevented the flames from destroying mankind. The Angel called out three times “Penance!” Then the children saw the unleashing of a great persecution of the Church, with representatives from both the clergy and the laity dying for the faith. Two angels at the foot of the cross gathered up the blood of the martyrs and sprinkled the souls on their way to God.
Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger published a theological commentary along with the secret, so that people could make a proper interpretation of the text. After so many decades of mystery and intrigue, the Church wanted to make sure that it did not upset the faithful. He emphasized the point that there was nothing unknown that came out in the secret nor was it a prediction of the future.
The Angel’s message asking for penance in order to avoid earthly catastrophes should be taken to heart. The message of Fatima is consistent with the message revealed in the Third Secret. Prayer and devotion to the Blessed Virgin should be coupled with penance. Mary can avert disasters because of her special relationship with her Son.
The Third Secret is often associated with the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II. He is thus identified as the bishop in white seen by the children. But the prophecy seems to be much greater than this. Perhaps the deeper lesson is that prayer and penance need to be practiced as the best possible protection against a general apostasy. Apostasy is the sin of denying the faith, and what was once a manner of escaping death from persecution has become almost a fad in many Western countries. It seems popular or cool to be unchurched and unaffiliated to organized religion.
Curiously, the rise in apostasy has not ended the era of martyrs. For the 20th century has witnessed on the contrary a multiplication of martyrs, both clergy and laity. Russia itself proved to be a country rich in martyrs and persecution of the Christianity. The exhortation of the Blessed Virgin to prayer and penance has not been heeded sufficiently and thus she has not been able to intervene as she would have liked. The conversion of Russia is still lacking.
In Fatima, Mary asked the shepherd-children to pray for the Holy Father. Her message would be difficult for him, but also a source of consolation and strength. What is clear about the secret is that it is a call to prayer for bishops and especially the Pope. The Church of the 20th and now 21st century is a Church that faces persecution and needs the protection of prayer and Mary’s mantle. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

4th February 2017 > 'Making Ourselves A Living Sacrifice With Christ' ~ Daily Reflection on Today's Mass Readings for Roman Catholics on Saturday, Fourth Week in Ordinary Time
SCRIPTURE READINGS: [ HEB 13:15-21; MK 6:30-34 ] In the last couple of weeks, the scripture readings from the letter to the Hebrews have been extolling the dignity of Jesus as our High Priest of the New Covenant. We read how Jesus, although God, became a man like us. As such, Christ is greater than the angels. He is identified with us in every way except sin. He too underwent tremendous hostilities, opposition and suffering. He too was tempted. He is superior even to Moses and greater than the Old Testament priesthood. As the High Priest, Jesus is our bridge to God. He came to do His Father’s will. He became the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Through Him our sins are forgiven and we are saved from damnation by His death on the cross. He is our perfect representative to God. In His moments of darkness He too pleaded with loud cries and tears for the Father to deliver Him from death. He remains now in heaven interceding for us unceasingly. He is truly the perfect revelation of God, the compassionate and merciful High Priest. Having contemplated on Christ’s personal sacrifice for us, we are now called not only to be spectators of His death on the cross but to make His sacrifice ours. This is the true objective of the sacrificial celebration of the mass; that we join Jesus in offering Himself to the heavenly Father. How then do we share in the sacrifice of Christ? Firstly, we need to participate actively in the sacrifice of the mass through fervent worship. This is what the author of Hebrews says, “Through Christ, let us offer God an unending sacrifice of praise, a verbal sacrifice that is offered every time we acknowledge his name.” We are called to worship His Father through His Son, Jesus Christ our High Priest. The Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy reminds us that “in order that the liturgy may be able to produce its full effects, it is necessary that the faithful come to it with proper dispositions, that their minds should be attuned to their voices, and that they should cooperate with divine grace lest they receive it in vain. Pastors of souls must therefore realize that, when the liturgy is celebrated, something more is required than the mere observation of the laws governing valid and licit celebration; it is their duty also to ensure that the faithful take part fully aware of what they are doing, actively engaged in the rite, and enriched by its effects.” (SC 11) Secondly, the offering of worship is not merely in the liturgy or reducible to the performance of rituals. It requires a personal relationship with the Lord and more. “The spiritual life, however, is not limited solely to participation in the liturgy. The Christian is indeed called to pray with his brethren, but he must also enter into his chamber to pray to the Father, in secret; yet more, according to the teaching of the Apostle, he should pray without ceasing.” (SC 12) The greatest danger among Catholics is that they tend to offer the sacrifice of the mass in a superstitious and ritualistic way without any real participation in the worship but as a bystander or observer. Such worship cannot change lives. However, the offering of the sacrifice of Christ requires ultimately the offering of ourselves in union with Him on the cross. Again, Vatican II Council cautions us saying, “We learn from the same Apostle that we must always bear about in our body the dying of Jesus, so that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our bodily frame. This is why we ask the Lord in the sacrifice of the Mass that, “receiving the offering of the spiritual victim,” he may fashion us for himself “as an eternal gift”. (SC 12) Indeed, the author of the letter to the Hebrews invites us saying, “Keep doing good works and sharing your resources, for these are sacrifices that please God.” We must unite ourselves in Christ’s suffering by offering ourselves as a gift to God and humanity through our sacrifices of love. It calls for a dying to self and our desires. Putting others before self and giving up our lives for others call for a heroic crucifixion of self. St Paul in his letter to the Romans also says the same thing. Sometimes, the offering of self is more than just giving ourselves in service to others. At times, it calls for a death to oneself and to one’s ego. This is what the author told the Christians, “Obey your leaders and do as they tell you, because they must give an account of the way they look after your souls; make this a joy for them to do, and not a grief – you yourselves would be the losers.” The evangelical counsel of obedience is hardly practiced by Catholics today, not even by the clergy and the religious. In these days of individualism and in the name of freedom and creativity, many of us have difficulty submitting to authority as we feel we know better. Obedience for the preservation of unity is necessary in any community or institution. But because we cannot give up our ego and pride, we refuse to cooperate with those who think differently from us, even if they are our leaders. This is the tragic situation in many Church organizations and ministries. Often leaders cannot agree among themselves or with their members. This has led to bickering, disagreement and slander, sometimes even leading to litigation. Indeed, the worship of God calls for a personal sacrifice of one’s will for God’s will. In the letter to the Hebrews, we read that Christ came to do His Father’s will. “Here I am, Lord, I have come to do your will.” (Heb 10:7) Accordingly, if we were to share in Christ’s living sacrifice, the author says, “I pray that the God of peace, who brought our Lord Jesus back from the dead to become the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood that sealed an eternal covenant, may make you ready to do his will in any kind of good action.” Yes, we are called to do His holy will like Jesus. There is no greater sacrifice than doing the will of God at all times. Some of us might feel that we are doing God’s will most of the time. But more often than not, we are not discerning because we are not praying people. The devil deceives us into believing we are doing His will when in fact, what we do spring from our selfish desires and our egoistic needs. Today, we have before us the examples of the apostles and our Lord Jesus Christ. We read in the gospel that they were tired after a long journey. They were out proclaiming the Good News, healing the sick and delivering the possessed from the oppression of the demons. Jesus knew how tired they were and so invited them to rest. He knew that constant giving of oneself to others without proper rest, not just physically but spiritually, will be self destructive. Hence, He instructed His disciples to take a break from the people so that they could find some time to eat, rest and to learn from the Lord. Indeed, as the psalmist reminds us, we must seek the Good Shepherd to refresh us. We cannot offer ourselves to the world if we do not first spend time with the Lord. The Lord Jesus Himself rose early in the morning to go to a lonely place, either in the desert or at the mountains to spend time in prayer with His heavenly Father. We, being weaklings, all the more need to be fed and loved. It is difficult to be giving and giving always without being refreshed and empowered by the love and wisdom of the Lord. So we must listen to the psalmist as he prays, “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose. Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit.” Not only does the Good Shepherd give us rest, He will lead us and give us the direction in our ministry. We cannot be shepherds if we are not first the sheep of the Lord. But most of all, we turn to the Good Shepherd because we need to be loved and share in God’s delight. The responsorial psalm says, “You have prepared a banquet for me in the sight of my foes. My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing. Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life. In the Lord’s own house shall I dwell forever and ever.” There is nothing more fulfilling and more empowering than to live in the House of the Lord, bathing in His love and sharing in His joy. Only those who have enjoyed the delight of the Lord, experience His good, kindness and mercy can with joy and enthusiasm announce the Good News to the world. Indeed, only when we are identified with Jesus in making of ourselves a living sacrifice to God for others, can we become like Jesus, the glory of God to others. The author of Hebrews assures us that He will “turn us all into whatever is acceptable to himself through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.” So let us come to the Lord to find wisdom and strength so that we can truly make ourselves a living sacrifice to the Lord and His people and give Him glory for all that we are. Written by The Most Rev William Goh Roman Catholic Archbishop of Singapore © All Rights Reserved Best Practices for Using the Daily Scripture Reflections Encounter God through the spirit of prayer and the scripture by reflecting and praying the Word of God daily. The purpose is to bring you to prayer and to a deeper union with the Lord on the level of the heart. Daily reflections when archived will lead many to accumulate all the reflections of the week and pray in one sitting. This will compromise your capacity to enter deeply into the Word of God, as the tendency is to read for knowledge rather than a prayerful reading of the Word for the purpose of developing a personal and affective relationship with the Lord. It is more important to pray deeply, not read widely. The current reflections of the day would be more than sufficient for anyone who wants to pray deeply and be led into an intimacy with the Lord.

Every land that's divided against itself is brought to desolation. God said that when evil imitators rule, they shall be cut off. When wickednesses rules in high place in simulating a form of "godliness," then "many princes come to reign in that mischief! God said that it is ONE thing that divides a nation, and that is "SIN!" True Unity of The Faith is Union with The Father that's evidenced in His Love through ongoing communications with Himself! The devil's purpose is to keep ignorances of himself. DIVISION is the church taking sides with satan WHEN siding with ignorance about him! It is SIN that divides our nation! NOTHING else! SIN divides individuals & areas into SPLITS & breeches. Next, each little sect or part has it's own ruler- demon personality. The most wicked nations of today profess to be "Christian," and their highest levels know their own Luciferean agendas. When Satan tried to destroy Christ' Ministry in the wilderness in Matthew 4 & Luke 4, he failed! How many "ministers" of our modern time understand that Lucifer continues to tempt church leaders to follow his imitations of desolations? When the devil failed to tempt Christ, he immediately worked on the religious and political leaders of that time to thwart the WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT being done in Christ. Those early religious authorities have a very narrowed focus upon only the first 5 Books of The Bible. They were afraid of what would happen if the people freely read all of the Prophetic Scriptures that Reveal Jesus Christ! It's the SAME initial origin and spirit that attempted to lock up The Light, where even priests and monks were forbidden to read The Bible for themselves! That SAME spirit of a spiritual slumber seizes MOST now! Currently MOST "ministers" claim that Prophetic Truths are a "negativity" and thereby rob the people of the genuine Joy in The Father, while they devilishly claim to be harnessing a false "peace!" Fallen Ministers now keep people in the darkest of ages, by erroneous SEMBLANCES of a false "gospel!" It's a terrible thing when an entire nation falls into spiritual darkness because of the pride and the wickedness that is in the hearts of counterfeit authorities! French leader Macron is currently united with Trump in an assignment of civil wars. Thus when Pope Francis demanded the use of Lincoln's Civil War Lectern in his recent American Campaign, these agendas were set! SEE THIS- As soon as Pope Francis officially titled himself as a politician and as a permanent overseer of The United Nations, the so-called "CHURCH" became POLITICAL‼️ The current DIVISIONS of our nation are wholly the distinction between LIGHT and the KEEPERS-OF-DARKNESSES! France began It's distablization through It's "Higher Criticism" philosophies. America did the same through It's "REPLACEMENT-theologies!" It's ALL straight out of the United Nation's "Lucis Trust" channelled through Jesuit-Layola! The Manifesto of infiltrating the Church towards the Mark of The Beast/ #666- states- "The Christian Church in It's many branches can serve as a John The Baptist, as a voice crying in the wilderness, and as a nucleus for which world illumination may be accomplished." -Layola influenced A. A. Bailey, the founder of The New Age Movement and The Lucifer Publishing Company. Official quote from their Lucis Trust and also published in The Externalization of The Hierarchy, page 510, published 1975. THIS IS WHAT CHRIST CALLS- "THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY!" It's the handing down of occult mysticisms through INFILTRATIONS in the Church. The word "Mystery" here literally means hidden information conveyed through deceptiveness by those taking a dark oath. How many ministries have we each known that began seemingly well, but have left The Life in Christ' Spirit, for worldly endeavors and gainsaying errors? 100% of the time, it's through INFILTRATIONS, in following those who secretively uphold oaths in their secret societies! A BAD CONSCIENCE ENGENDERS FEAR! Those who place themselves under apostate bewitchments, wholly react in hostile-EMNITY, because of their own fearful, condemnations! Forsakers of The Bible's Actualities, applaud the enemies of The Bible! Lovers of The Truth, oppose and condemn them! THAT IS THE DIVISION OF OUR NATION!! It's TWO opposite sources! It's TWO vastly different winds of destinies! Ahab accused Elijah of as the catalyst-author of the Divine-Judgement upon the land! Ahab being evil, was unwilling to understand Judgement! THAT'S WHY MANY reject Holy Prophecy, neglect most of The Bible, despise the Writings penned through Paul, and LEAVE JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF! THAT IS THE DIVISION! The CFR Counsil of Foreign Relations that controls the United Nations, the AJCU -National Curriculums, and a VAST amount of Protestant Apostasy, has targeted the Writings of St. Paul. (Several mega ministries are now becoming official Universities, and THIS IS WHY). Paul's Writings directly refute the New World Order system. They clearly oppose Islamic claims. They are the Key into understanding The New Covenant--Jesus Christ Himself & Him Crucified as THE basis of ALL other Scripture! Those involved deeply into the Hebraic Movements, "Christislam," or the False prophets of Protestant Apostasy are ALL attacking Paul's Foundational Doctrine: Galatians 1:8 "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let it be condemned." Romans 16:17-18 " I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep your eyes on those who cause dissensions and create obstacles or introduce temptations to commit sin, acting in ways contrary to the doctrine which you have learned in The Word of GOD. Turn away from them. For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites and base desires. By smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting, the innocent and the naive." "Truthers" are literally making shipwreck of their Faith, over the massive amounts of inflitrations that are spewed into alternative medias. Beyond the well-known Charismatic religious leaders that have repeatedly met with Pope Francis (that mirror Trump's Evangelical Board)- and whom openly agree with his Cosmological Planetary " gospel" (that was literally channeled by devils and the Atheists and Pantheist advisors to his recent Encyclical); Its utterly astonishing how MANY world religious leaders ALL answer to either the Pope directly or other Jesuit Generals. Top Vatican Spokesmen and Astronomer Guy Consolmagno states that we will all soon need to look at the Gospel much differently, " “Everything we think we know” may have to “be thrown out, Extraterrestrials may very well be the saviors of mankind." -Such is their attempts to explain away Christ and The Holy Bible!! Vatican Astronomers Ramp Up Their Search For “Brother Extraterrestrial” http://thetruthwins.com/archives/vatican-astronomers-ramp-up-their-search-for-brother-extraterrestrial. "Ascended Masters" of the New Age philosophies are the SAME dieties that the CFR, UN, and their top leader pope Francis believe in! Departed-visiting familiar spirits and Extraterrestrials are DEVILS according to The Word of GOD!

“From the beginning, I did not believe one word of his. He preaches mercy, but is in truth an ice-cold, sly, Machiavellian, and, what is worse – he lies.”
These are the razor-sharp words of a cardinal within the walls of the Vatican as recently reported by the German magazine Der Spiegel, one of the most influential political magazines in Europe. This is utterly unprecedented, guys. There can be no doubt now that we have entered a time unlike anything the world has ever seen before.
As I chart what I’ve excitedly dubbed the elite apocalypse and do my part to help tear down the dark prison pyramid and usher in the liberation of this planet from the evil control forces who’ve held it “through child abuse,” to quote Sinead O’Connor, many of you know I keep a very close, and critical, eye fixed on The Holy See.
And for very good reason. The the Roman Papacy is by all prophetic accounts the main stronghold of the old control world, and it’s fall will usher in the New Earth.
It’s no secret that, just like Sinead, I am no fan of The Vatican and regularly take jabs at the man I’ve decided to start calling (for reasons I explain below) “FRANCIS THE LAST”
https://twitter.com/Tiff_FitzHenry/status/1034551589053374467

Yeah, I know I can be a little brutal. But look, “the church” has presided over the largest child abuse cult on earth, which has committed the most mass crimes against humanity in the history of civilization on this planet. And I happen to really love children and humans for that matter, so that’s a big problem for me. My snarky tweets are more than justified considering the scale of pure evil we are talking about here.
I also despise the hijacking of spirituality (which we humans are naturally wired for) to centralize power which is then wielded extemporaneously, all over the planet, for the further centralization of even more power held by even fewer individuals in a closed elite system all while hoarding the planet’s wealth, secrets and knowledge. Something about that just that really grinds my gears.
The elites who lie to and subvert humanity are my mark, and I am possessed to destroy them.
I know in my bones that the “closely guarded secrets of the Catholic Church” will soon be revealed and that this will torpedo the Roman ruling state as we know it. But what I didn’t know, until a few days ago, was that there are four different very well-known prophecies which all predict that Pope Francis will be the final pope, that his fall is guaranteed, and with it will take down the Luciferian bloodline cabal, the Roman Empire, once and for all.
Yes guys, this is BIG! Get excited!
We’ve all been meticulously, intentionally, and repititiously taught that “the Roman empire fell,” however that didn’t actually happen. Surprise! Yeah, we were lied to. Can you even believe it? LOL 🙄 Anyone else sensing a pattern?
The truth is that the seat of power that was Rome never abdicated its throne, it merely changed forms. That’s another subject for another post just something you need to know going forward.
Likewise, we’ve all been socialized to believe that the institutions which currently exist on our planet should all be there—that just because they’ve always been there that means they always should be. I mean, says who? Right? We’ve also been brainwashed to believe that these massive institutions can not ever fall. “Too big to fail” trained us well on that thought pattern, right? But this too is a grand hoax. Nothing and no one is too big to fall, or fail, especially when they have failed us. When they have forsaken their people and their purpose. Just ask Harvey Weinstein, whom I have it on very good authority is penniless at this very moment, and who will spend the rest of his life in a jail cell and die broke and alone—as the vile monster should.
We need to start to become VERY comfortable with the concept that the largest institutions on Earth will and are falling, right before our eyes.
We have entered a new era, ready or not. This is a time like nothing that has ever come before. It is an age of authenticity, where the truth about what these institutions actually are is all being pushed to the surface. And the Vatican is no exception.
So, what did all these prophesies and visions say? What will all this look like and how is it going to end? I’m so glad you asked!
Let’s start with St. Malachy and his Prophecy of The Popes.
Malachy was a 12th century Irish Bishop who made a prophecy that there would be 112 Popes (FYI Francis is the 112th). He wrote short prophetic descriptions of who each of the 112 Popes would be based on certain identifying factors such as name and birthplace.
His prophecy was long ago officially approved by the Catholic Church and stored in the Vatican archives, in spite of the fact that it predicted the future destruction of Rome. It remained a closely guarded secret for centuries.
Here is Malachy’s prediction of the 112th Pope in full is:
“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills [i.e. Rome] will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End.”
Alright now, calm down. I know that sounds scary as heck but remember, this is The Elite Apocalypse we are talking about—the end of their dark reign over our beautiful, sacred divine world. The destruction of the good moral righteous humanity is not at hand. We haven’t been the secret Luceferians deceiving humanity for centuries, brainwashing them on a mass scale, hoarding all the wealth and resources of the planet and stealing and eating babies, right?
Remember, this is the judgement and the destruction of the wicked. This is the judgement, and expelling of evil and darkness. When you think about it, we’ve already been living in our own personal apocalyptic hellscape of darkness for millennia.
Alright, back to Malachy. He prophesied the 110th Pope, Pope John Paul II, by saying “From the labour of the sun / Of the eclipse of the sun.”
Scholars confirm this prophesy by noting that the sun was in eclipse during the day and very moment of Pope John Paul’s birth on May 18, 1920, as well as and during his funeral on April 8th 2005.
Yes guys, that is very freaking weird.
Ok, let’s look at Malachy’s prophecy concerning the 111th pope, Pope Benedict. The prophecy says of him, “Gloria Olivae,” which means “the glory of the Olive.”
The Order of Saint Benedict, the chosen name of Ratzinger, is also known as the Olivetans. In choosing this patron he was quite literally the ‘glory of the olive’ personified.
Well, alrighty then. Now that it seems this Malachy guy was indeed legit let’s look at who he said this final pope will be, “Peter Romanus,” or Peter the Roman.
Pope Francis, a.k.a Peter the Roman
Pope Francis, originally known as Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was given a birth name that is quite telling. Bergoglio is derived from the word “berg” which means “mountain” or “large rock” in German. Mario is derived from the Latin name Marius which comes from Mars—the god of war. Jorge translates to George who is most associated with St. George “was a Roman soldier of Greek origin and a member of the Praetorian Guard for Roman emperor Diocletian” who was venerated by the Crusaders.
The prophecy points out that “Peter Romanus” is identified as the last pope. Like Bergoglio in Italian, Peter, means “rock” in Greek, just as Romanus translates to “from Rome”. Hence, Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s own name points to the fact that he is the very last Pope of Rome. Even his middle name — Mario — refers to a tendency to warmonger.
Plus, the father of the current pope was Peter, or Pietro, and was from Italy even though the family moved to Argentina.
Francis is Peter of Rome.
NOSTRADAMUS
He predicted that the last pope would flee Rome in December when “two suns” seem to appear in the sky.
Nostradamus said:
The great star for seven days will burn A cloud will make two suns appear The big mastiff will howl all night When a great Pope changes his territory. 2:41
Here is another interesting Nostradamus prediction regarding the destruction of Rome.
NOSTRADAMUS QUATRAIN #10-65
Oh vast Rome, thy ruin approaches,
Not of thy walls, but of thy blood and substance;
The bite of thine utterings will be such a horrible snip,
The point of the blade thrust all the way to the handle.
In Quatrain #10-65 Nostradamus predicted the ruin of Rome as the result of an inflammatory statement made by the pope against the enemies of Rome, that would result in a backlash and the ruin of Rome. The ‘enemies of Rome” are The People. Recently the Pope has repeatedly called for ‘silence’ in the wake of revelations that have taken decades to surface. This has enflamed the masses and promped two letters calling for his resignation.
Nostradamus however, tells us that Rome’s buildings will not be destroyed, only its occupants and idols.
Hmmmm very interesting stuff. I keep visioning the spoils of Rome being redistributed amongst the victims of abuse. Let’s all picture it and see what happens!
So, what did Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet, say?
Edgar Cayce
During the time of the Soviet Union, Edgar Cayce predicted that Russia would one day be an ally of the United States. He said:
“…for changes are coming, this may be sure—an evolution or revolution in the ideas of religious thought. The basis of it for the world will eventually come out of Russia. Not communism, no! But rather that which is the basis of the same as the Christ taught—”
The prediction came true after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, which Cayce also predicted.
Edgar Casey predicted that there would be one final papal reign after John Paul II, that his reign would be short, and that there wold be no further papal reigns after that. In other words, that Benedict would be the last pope to begin and end a reign and there would be no further Pope to complete a reign ever again.
Yeah, pattern alert! Ok now let’s talk about Fatima.
THE VISIONS AT FATIMA
The Three Secrets of Fátima consist of a series of apocalyptic visions and prophecies which were supposedly given to three young Portuguese shepherds, Lúcia Santos and her cousins Jacinta and Francisco Marto, experienced the apparition of Mary, starting on May 13, 1917
Of the three secrets, two were revealed at the time. The third and final one—kept in an envelope by the Vatican—was not made public until mid-2000.
Sister Lúcia chose not to disclose the third secret in her memoir of August 1941. In 1943, Lúcia fell seriously ill with influenza and pleurisy. Bishop Silva, visiting her in 1943, and suggested that she write the third secret down to ensure that it would be recorded in the event of her death. Lúcia was hesitant to do so, however. At the time she received the secret, she had heard Mary say not to reveal it, but because Carmelite obedience requires that orders from superiors be regarded as coming directly from God, she was in a quandary as to whose orders took precedence. Finally, in mid-October, Bishop Silva sent her a letter containing a direct order to record the secret, and Lúcia obeyed.
The third part of the secret was written down on January 3, 1944. In June 1944, the sealed envelope containing the third secret was delivered to Silva, where it stayed until 1957, when it was finally delivered to Rome.
It was announced by Cardinal Angelo Sodano on May 13, 2000, 83 years after the first apparition of the Lady to the children that the Third Secret would finally be released. In his announcement, Cardinal Sodano implied that the secret was about the 20th century persecution of Christians that culminated in the failed Pope John Paul II assassination attempt on May 13, 1981, the 64th anniversary of the first apparition of the Lady at Fátima.
The text of the Third Secret, according to the Vatican, was published on June 26, 2000:
“The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fátima, on 13 July 1917.
I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine. After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: ‘Penance, Penance, Penance!’. And we saw in an immense light that is God: ‘something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it’ a Bishop dressed in White ‘we had the impression that it was the Holy Father’. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.”
Along with the text of the secret, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, (the future Pope Benedict XVI), published a theological commentary in which he states: “A careful reading of the text of the so-called third ‘secret’ of Fatima … will probably prove disappointing or surprising after all the speculation it has stirred. No great mystery is revealed; nor is the future unveiled.”
HOWEVER….
Critics such as Italian journalist and media personality Antonio Socci claim that the four-page, handwritten text of the Third Secret released by the Vatican in 2000 is not the real secret, or at least not the full secret. The argument is based on the following:
Written on one sheet of paper: the text of the Third Secret released by the Vatican is handwritten on four sheets of paper. Father Joaquin Alonso, official Fátima archivist for sixteen years, reports in his book that, “Lucy tells us that she wrote it on a sheet of paper. In a taped interview, Charles Fiore quoted Malachi Martin as saying the following regarding the text of the Third Secret: “I cooled my heels in the corridor outside the Holy Father’s apartments, while my boss, Cardinal Bea, was inside debating with the Holy Father, and with a group of other bishops and priests, and two young Portuguese seminarians, who translated the letter, a single page, written in Portuguese, for all those in the room.”
Written in the form of a letter: another reason why critics argue the full Third Secret has not been released is because of indications that the Third Secret was written in the form of a signed letter to the Bishop of Leiria and the text of the Third Secret released by the Vatican is not written in the form of a letter. Lúcia was interviewed by Father Jongen on February 3, 1946. When Fr. Jongen asked Lúcia when the time would arrive for the Third Secret, Lúcia responded, “I communicated the third part in a letter to the Bishop of Leiria.” Also, Canon Galamba, an advisor to the Bishop of Leiria, is quoted as saying, “When the bishop refused to open the letter, Lucy made him promise that it would definitely be opened and read to the world either at her death or in 1960, whichever came first.”
Contains words attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary: the text of the Third Secret released by the Vatican contains no words attributed to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Socci asserts that the Third Secret likely begins with the words, “In Portugal the dogma of the Faith will always be preserved etc”, words which Lúcia included in her Fourth Memoir, but which are included only as a footnote to the text released by the Vatican.
Contains information about the Apocalypse, apostasy, Satanic infiltration of the Church: in an interview published in the November 11, 1984 edition of Jesus Magazine, Cardinal Ratzinger was asked whether he had read the text of the Third Secret and why it had not been revealed. Ratzinger acknowledged that he had read the Third Secret, and stated in part that the Third Secret involves the “importance of the novissimi“, or ‘END TIME’ and “dangers threatening the faith and the life of the Christian and therefore (the life) of the world.” Ratzinger also commented that, “If it is not made public – at least for the time being – it is in order to prevent religious prophecy from being mistaken for a quest for the sensational.”Also, a news article quoted former Philippine ambassador to the Vatican, Howard Dee, as saying that Cardinal Ratzinger had personally confirmed to him that the messages of Our Lady of Akita and Fátima are “essentially the same.” The Akita prophecy, in part, contains the following: “The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. … churches and altars sacked ….” On May 13, 2000, Cardinal Sodano announced that the Third Secret would be released, during which he implied the secret was about the persecution of Christians in the 20th century that culminated in the failed assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II on 13 May 1981. In a syndicated radio broadcast, Malachi Martin stated that the Third Secret “doesn’t make any sense unless we accept that there will be, or that there is in progress, a wholesale apostasy amongst clerics, and laity in the Catholic Church …”
You know, exactly what we are seeing right now.
FINAL BONUS SIGN
If for some bizarre reason you’re still in need of further convincing that the nazi pedo pope, Francis the last, a.k.a Peter the Roman, will soon preside over the collapse of the Vatican state and the unholy Roman empire once and for all, here’s one last thing to consider.
Just hours after Pope Benedict’s shock resignation, lightening stuck the Vatican, hitting the top of St. Peter’s Basillica. Not once. But TWICE.
So, what is my take on all this?
Well if you’ve studied theology you know that Jesus had a brother named James. Many scholars believe that James was the first leader of the church. I believe James knew what Jesus truly came to teach, messages of love, liberation and the truth about the powers of our humanity. What Jesus came to teach was POWERFUL. But it was powerful to the individual and to the collective, empowering them in their direct connection with the divine source of all life, and counter intuitive to the entire concept of institutions.
So “Jesus” as we know him, and in particular what was supposed to be the intirety of his message, was hijacked by the unholy power hungry Romans, who stoned James to death and installed Peter as the first Pope. I believe Frances (ie Peter of Rome) will be the final Pope, the Rome’s rule of darkness will have been from the first Peter to the last, and his fall will usher in the destruction of the Roman Empire (cabal, Luciferian, control matrix, pedophile darkness) once and for all.
THE END.
Which will actually be the beginning 🙂

The Pope’s Librarian

http://theattainer.com/the-popes-librarian/
The Pope’s Librarian
Before digging into the nitty-gritty of what Archbishop Bruguès has undertaken—wrangling the Vatican Library into the twenty-first century—I asked the seventy-four-year-old French-born Dominican monsignor how he got into that hot seat in the first place, and whether being the 47th librarian of a library dating back to 1501 and the 41st archivist of an archive dating back to 1609 weighs heavily on him.
As with every question, Bruguès paused and reflected before answering, like the seasoned academic he is. “Before coming here, Pope Benedict XVI named me as the Secretary for the Congregation for Catholic Education, so the relationship between me and Pope Benedict (and Cardinal Ratzinger before) is of a long date. We have been relating for more than twenty years, because we were on the International Theological Commission. For me, when I was named to that congregation, my work was pretty easy because I had been a professor at universities in France and Switzerland for more than thirty years.”
“When my mandate as secretary ended, the pope’s secretary asked me: ‘We have two free spots—in the library or the congregation for family.’ The answer was very easy: ‘None of them. I don’t like either of them.’ After a couple months Pope Benedict called me and said, ‘If you don’t choose either of these places I will choose it for you.’ Before his election Pope Benedict actually would have longed to be the librarian and archivist here, and so since then he was elected pope and couldn’t, he wanted to realize his own dream through me.”
“But he didn’t say anything about the content of this dream. My main effort has been to try to find out what the dream of Pope Benedict was and to realize it in time…. this responsibility has not been a heavy responsibility for me.” Apparently Bruguès has not only reconciled himself to his position but learned that his bookish nature makes him well-suited to the task, and he handles pressure with ease. He sounds like a happy man who loves what he does.
As for the nuts and bolts of his daily routine, Bruguès appears to thrive on challenge and variety. “For me, as I come to work, it’s really kind of like it’s a feast in the sense that it’s a very passionate work and so I like that.”
He elaborated, “In the morning I work here and it’s a regular office. I get a lot of correspondence and sometimes it’s a mountain of letters. In the morning I work in doing the correspondence but also in meeting many people. Morning is for appointments mainly, and then in the afternoon I usually come back here for meeting groups to show around the library and to explain what the library is about. The library and also the archives…. In order not to create any jealousy I do one day at the library and one day at the archives…. It’s administrative work, naturally, but also it’s very much a work of personal contact, of relationships.”
Bruguès also represents the public face of the Vatican Library and Secret Archives. When dignitaries visit the Vatican and are given a behind-the-scenes tour of the library and archives, as Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, did recently, it’s often Bruguès who plays host. He also travels quite a bit. “I travel at least once a month for a week for the library,” he noted. “When I travel I usually go after an invitation from a government or cultural institutions—any kind of public place and other places or institutional associations that are preparing for an exhibit, for example. The library participates each year in from twelve to nineteen international exhibits. So even though the library might seem a static place with a static work, actually my life is very dynamic as I’m traveling all over the world.”

VATICAN CITY | Pope: No effort spared to fight abuse, but offers no details
New Post has been published on https://is.gd/DbTnQB
VATICAN CITY | Pope: No effort spared to fight abuse, but offers no details
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis vowed Monday that “no effort must be spared” to root out priestly sex abuse and cover-up from the Catholic Church, but gave no indication that he would take action to sanction complicit bishops or end the Vatican culture of secrecy that has allowed the crisis to fester.
In a letter to Catholics worldwide following damning new revelations of misconduct in the U.S., Francis sought to project a get-tough response to the perpetrators and a compassionate shoulder for victims ahead of a fraught trip to Ireland this weekend.
Francis begged forgiveness for the pain suffered by victims and said lay Catholics must be included in the effort to root out abuse and cover-up. He blasted the clerical culture that has been blamed for the crisis, with church leaders more concerned about their own reputations than the safety of children.
“We showed no care for the little ones,” Francis wrote. “We abandoned them.”
But Francis alone can sanction bishops and he offered no hint that he would change the Vatican’s longstanding practice of giving religious superiors a pass when they botch abuse cases or are negligent in protecting their flocks.
He said he was aware of the “effort and work being carried out in various parts of the world” to ensure children are protected and hold accountable those who commit abuse and cover it up.
But he made no reference to what the Vatican plans to do, saying only: “We have delayed in applying these actions and sanctions that are so necessary, yet I am confident that they will help to guarantee a greater culture of care in the present and future.”
The letter was viewed by abuse survivors as little more than recycled rhetoric that fails to acknowledge the Vatican’s own role in turning a blind eye to predatory priests and fomenting a culture of secrecy that has allowed crimes to go unpunished for decades.
“That culture was overseen by #Vatican & codified into its laws,” tweeted Colm O’Gorman, a prominent Irish abuse victim who is organizing a solidarity demonstration of survivors in Dublin during Francis’ visit. “He needs to name & own that.”
Marie Collins, another prominent Irish survivor who resigned in frustration from the pope’s sex-abuse advisory commission, said statements about how terrible abuse is and how bishops must be held accountable are meaningless.
“Tell us instead what you are doing to hold them accountable,” she tweeted. “That is what we want to hear. ‘Working on it’ is not an acceptable explanation for decades of ‘delay.'”
Priestly sex abuse was always expected to dominate the pope’s trip to Ireland, a once staunchly Roman Catholic country where the church’s credibility has been devastated by years of revelations that priests raped and molested children with impunity and their superiors covered it up.
But the issue has taken on new gravity following revelations in the U.S. that one of Francis’ trusted cardinals, the retired archbishop of Washington, Theodore McCarrick, allegedly sexually abused and harassed minors as well as adult seminarians.
In addition, a grand jury report in Pennsylvania last week revealed that at least 1,000 children were abused by some 300 priests over the past 70 years, and that generations of bishops failed to take measures to protect their flock or punish the rapists.
“Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all,” the grand jury report said.
The letter from Latin America’s first pope also comes on the heels of a spiraling sex-abuse scandal in Chile, where law enforcement has staged multiple raids on church archives to try to determine what was known and kept hidden about pedophile priests.
The three-page letter, issued in seven languages, referred to the Pennsylvania report but stressed that its message was to a much broader global audience. In it, Francis acknowledged that no effort to beg forgiveness of the victims would be sufficient but vowed “never again.”
Looking to the future, he said: “No effort must be spared to create a culture able to prevent such situations from happening, but also to prevent the possibility of their being covered up and perpetuated.”
He demanded an end to “clericalism” — the culture that places priests on a pedestal. He said lay Catholics must help end that culture, since rank-and-file Catholics are often the ones who most fervently hold up their priests as beyond reproach.
That emphasis — on both the role of the laity and clericalism — is new for a pope in addressing the abuse scandal and seems a direct response to the Pennsylvania findings, said Kathleen Sprows Cummings, associate professor of American studies and history at the University of Notre Dame.
“That’s what people are feeling. That’s the rage,” she said, adding that she had acquaintances who were withholding donations to their parishes, refusing to address priests as “Father” and demanding at Sunday Mass that their pastors address the crisis.
“I think this is a crisis and I don’t think many church leaders appreciate that,” she said.
Francis appears to hear that call, but it’s unclear if it will be enough.
Several years ago, he scrapped a proposed Vatican tribunal to prosecute negligent bishops, relying instead on current Vatican procedures. While he has taken some bishops to task, he has refused to act on credible reports of bishops failing to report abusers to police or otherwise botching the handling of cases.
Francis also has kept on his nine-member cabinet a Chilean cardinal long accused of covering up for pedophiles, an Australian cardinal currently on trial on sex-abuse charges and a Honduran cardinal implicated in a gay priest sex scandal involving his trusted deputy.
As a result, advocates for victims found his letter wanting. “Mere words at this point deepen the insult and the pain,” said Anne Barrett Doyle of the research group Bishop Accountability, which released a database Monday of credibly accused or convicted Irish clergy.
What Francis should do to protect children, she said, is to order the Vatican to release the names of all priests who have been convicted under canon law of abusing minors.
Unlike the U.S. bishops’ conference, which has referred only to “sins and omissions” in their response to the Pennsylvania report, Francis labeled the misconduct “crimes.”
Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said it was “significant” that Francis used that term and called for accountability, “which in many cases means bishops.”
“This is a wake-up call for everyone,” Burke told The Associated Press.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro praised the pope’s letter and urged local church officials to “cease their denials and deflections” and accept the grand jury recommendations, which include allowing victims to sue the church for abuse that otherwise would fall outside the statute of limitations.
The Catholic Church has long resisted such litigation windows, fearing for its bottom line. In the U.S., the sex-abuse scandal and related litigation has cost the church some $3 billion and led to the sell-off of church properties and bankruptcy protection for several dioceses.
It was the second Vatican response in recent days to the Pennsylvania grand jury report, which has sparked a crisis of confidence in the U.S. Catholic leadership and led to calls for mass ouster of American bishops.
Last week, Burke issued a statement calling the abuse “criminal and morally reprehensible” and said there must be accountability for those who raped children “and those who permitted abuse to occur.”
Subsequently, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has asked Francis to authorize a Vatican investigation into McCarrick, whose penchant for inviting seminarians to his New Jersey beach house and into his bed was apparently an open secret.
The Vatican hasn’t said if Francis would approve such an investigation. The question is delicate, given that there is evidence that Vatican officials knew as early as 2000 of McCarrick’s activities, yet still appointed him Washington archbishop and a cardinal.
