One of the conclusions that readers can draw from today’s study is the lack of integrity in the modern Church’s appeal to freedom of conscience as the alibi for its advancement of teaching about sex and divorce outside of scriptural and traditional perimeters.

The claim is that Catholic adults have freedom of conscience in these areas which should be respected. Yet with regard to the traditional Latin mass suddenly Catholics do not have the freedom to choose and decide for themselves if they wish to preserve the liturgy of the past thousand years, which sanctified the majority of the saints of the church.

Hence, even for people not concerned about the Latin mass, it remains a warning here that the leadership of the Church of Rome cannot be trusted when it lays claim to freedom of conscience. That banner is an appeal intended mainly to advance the revolutionary agenda.

When conservatives attempt to appeal to freedom of conscience, they are denied.This is a warning to all people Catholic and non-catholic when it comes to the duplicity and treachery of the modern papacy and hierarchy.

I am adding the following to my previous comment yesterday regarding one's conscience. It is by Sir Matthew Hale (1609–1676), Chief Justice of the King's Bench under Charles II and a pre-eminent scholar of the English common law:

"If therefore, either before the access or irruption of troubles, or under their pressure, any thing or person in the world solicit thee to ease or deliver they self by a breach or wound of thy conscience, know they are about to cheat thee of thy best security under God against the power and malignity of troubles...

"(Conscience) is a jewel that will make thee rich in the midst of poverty; a sun that will give thee light in the midst of darkness; a fortress that will keep thee safe in the greatest danger, and that is never to be taken, unless thou they self betray it and deliver it up."

"Contemplations Moral and Divine" (1676; reprinted by Belkanp and Hammersley, 1835), p. 82.

Excellent dissection, sir.

Thank you for this fine piece.

The suppressed masses you describe were not true Masses in the first place. They were sideshows to provide a veneer of catholicity to the Novus Ordo sect. The plan all along was to discard them once they served their political purpose.

The so-called priests presiding over them were invalidly ordained by invalid bishops.

The Latin Mass lives in the US, but only in obscure locations by a tiny number of priests whose Holy Orders comply with tradition.

Katya here:

Regarding what Michael says about “freedom of conscience”: On p. 89 of The Occult Renaissance Church of Rome, Michael writes about the Papal masquerade that “is maintained in history for as long as it takes to change the zeitgeist (spirit of the times).” There is so much in this chapter (II, pp78-137) on Neoplatonic-Hermeticism that pertains to us now. On p. 207, Michael writes, “The Church of the Renaissance introduced into the schools and the monasteries of Catholicism the philosophy of the ‘concordia philosophorum’ which teaches that there is a concord between paganism and Christianity.” On May 9, 2025, LifeSite News ran the story: “Jesuit James Martin, pro-LGBT, says Leo XIV is committed to inclusivity.” (See his smile in the photo.) We know what that means. Just after the covid lockdown, the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN, near where we lived, opened a transgender dorm. What has “conscience” come to mean for us now? Remember that Michael has written time and again that the Occult influence in our society will tell you, authoritatively, that “it means whatever I say it means.”

I remember Latin Mass from my own early childhood. I remember the magnificence of the words that I didn’t understand. What is oft repeated sticks in children’s memories as if on velcro. Perhaps the Church Doctrine expressed in the Latin of the ages old Latin Mass would serve “to arm the young mind … for its struggle with temptations, to surround the young soul with a wall stronger than any other he could imagine.” (Fr. Paissy in Bros. Karamazov). I think the Mass buttressed the Church against increasing secularization. There was moral guidance, higher levels to aim for, behavior and speech to be so careful of. Now anything goes. For me, that begs the question: the fact that President Kennedy was Catholic — well, it sure didn’t help.

For a thorough study of what’s in a name like Leo, starting with Leo X, read The Occult Renaissance Church. I’m going out on a limb to guess that Pope Leo XIV has read it, so as to be ‘armed’. And why do I care about this? I so love my children who were raised in the very woke Catholic Church of the Twin Cities, and they became communists and pagans, and defenders of “freedom of conscience” as did many of their friends. My Catholic friends had similar problems. We lost our children. It happened in certain places. Michael writes about Chicago. I never understood until I read Michael Hoffman.

A transgender dorm at the College of St. Thomas?

Yes, unbelievably. There was outcry, thank God, and I believe they settled things by giving students private rooms. I don't know whether they discontinued this. We used to go, years ago, to sung Mass at nearby St. Cecilia's. So two steps forward, one step back. I thought co-ed dorms were outrageous.

Is it silly to ask why one would choose the name Leo?......"It has served us well, this myth of Christ" - a statement once made by Pope Leo X and one difficult to dispute when you examine the evidence on offer

Katya di nuovo: What's in a name? On May 4, 1515, Pope Leo X publishes his papal bull relaxing the Church's immemorial ban on renting money ("usury"), says The Revisionist History Calendar. And we remember that 200 years earlier Dante equated usury with sodomy in The Inferno, part 1 of The Divine Comedy. Scripted?
