October 13, 1917 Miracle of the Sun: The, instantaneous drying of a soaked land and the multitude upon it.


The avowed skeptic claims the following, about the October 13, 1917 Fatima Mir-
acle of the Sun:  That it was a mass hallucination, simultaneously imagined by tens
of thousands of people who were under a mass hysteric trance.  Stop There.  The
invalidating feature of this claim goes as follows:

As soon as the sun stopped its descent toward Earth and returned to its proper place
in the sky, all of the rain-drenched terrain and soaked people were instantaneously
dry.  That was NO hallucination.  Case Closed.  The Fatima nay-sayers are either
avowed liars or too lazy to learn of the entire account of October 13, 1917.

The major technique in claiming Fatima to be a fraud was to claim that Lucia didn't
write her secrets until after WWII began.   This is why the disclosure of the spoken
words of Mary attached to the Third Secret of Fatima are essential, so as to show
what events beyond the Year 1945 were prophesied.  None the less, the following
points show that the skeptics either never read Fatima or are deliberately lying, ev-
en if the Vatican hides the 14 line text of the Third Secret of Fatima until the day it
comes true:

    Thousands upon thousands of people show up at Fatima in October 1917.
      Ever so coincidentally, 25 days later Lenin ignited the Bolshevik Revolution.
      That was less than a month of time.   The time line coincidence is compelling.

     Jacinta kept mentioning that Our Lady would soon take her to Heaven.   In fact,
     Francesco said that going to school was pointless, being that he was going to die
      soon.  Both children died shortly thereafter, during the influenza pandemic that
      wasn't in existence during the Fatima apparitions of 1917.   It was known as the
      1918 Influenza Pandemic ... not the 1917 one.  No one knew that a pandemic
      was about to come upon Europe.

The three aforementioned points illustrate the validity of the Fatima apparition and
should be able to make any skeptic look like a prejudiced manipulator with an ulte-
rior motive.  You can debate the Third Secret of Fatima, but you can't debate the
valid existence of the Fatima apparitions without distorting reason.

Then there is the matter of the January 25, 1938 event.   Lucia stated that, at Fatima,
Mary said, "When you see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know that it is
a sign that the world will soon be punished by means of war."  The unknown light
occurred on January 25, 1938.  It ever so coincidentally was the memorial of St Paul's
Conversion, commemorating the time when, on the road to Damascus, he was strick-
en by a blinding light which tossed him from his horse.   The coincidence is deafen-
ing.  Shortly thereafter, Germany annexed Austria.  Such a thing constitutes hostile
takeover.   In light of this, to deny the validity of the Fatima apparitions is to be a
deliberate liar who simply wants Fatima to have not occurred.

Equally false to claiming that Fatima never existed is to claim that Fatima is a thing
of the dark past.  Firstly,  Benedict XVI stated that humanity would be sadly mistak-
en to think that Fatima is said and done.  Secondly, humanity remains in a darkness
of mind which results in incendiary streets and town.  The Year 2011 was the start
of revolution ... of the dead strewn on the streets ... of the killing of Christians in
Iraq .... of the continued persecution of the true church in China ... of the nuclear
disaster in Japan, as well as artificially skyrocketed gasoline prices ... of radio talk
show bully pulpiteers becoming even more mean spirited in their Gospel of Greed
and Military Spending ... lots of propaganda and bullying, eleven years later.

The unknown light in the sky prophesied at Fatima and other timeline coincidences involving WWII

WWII was prophesied at Fatima as something which would occur if the bishops
declined to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.   Men such as
the ones seen here had to endure a lot of terror en route to the combat zones,
all because of bishops too arrogant ... too high & mighty ... for Our Lady.
After this introduction is a timeline list of WWII events that coincided with signifi-
cant dates on the Roman Catholic calendar.  The events, being attached to the fury
of military combat, could not have been planned by a conspiratorial secret society.
Nor could they have transpired via subliminal suggestion.

Keep in mind that WWII was a pivotal prophecy of the Fatima revelations.  After
all, war is a punishment from God for humanity's sins.  Concerning this, Our Lady
said at Fatima, " When you see a night illuminated by an unknown light, know 
that this is the great sign given to you by God that He is about to punish the 
world for its crimes, by means of war,  famine, and persecution.

This illumination was seen on January 25, 1938.  Forty-six days later, after a time
span equal to a lenten season, and done after Hitler applied intimidation tactics up-
Prime Minister Kurt von Schuschnigy, Germany annexed Austria.  This act was re-
garded by Fatima's Sister Lucia to have been the start of WWII.  The light was seen 
throughout Europe, Bermuda, and part of Australia.  On that night, even radios in 
Maine USA were disrupted. See:

Peasants Kneel in Terror before Aurora over Europe
Some cry, "Is it war?"  Others Summon Fire Fighters as Northern Lights Flame

Europe Afraid of Northern Lights
Peasants Pray as Borealis Dances in Sky

The timeline of WWII coincidences has nothing to do with numerology, being that 
numbers are for record-keeping purposes and measurement  . . .  not fortune telling.
Nor does the following have anything to do with soothsaying or anything done in a 
fortune teller's den.  

However, there is an irony here, in that these coincidences transpired during an era 
when people were still into 19th Century occultism, seances, and astrology.  It were 
as if God's serpents of destiny were eating the 20th Century's serpents of superstition.
(For those raised in the American public school system, the imagery refers to Moses'
staff turning into a serpent which devoured the serpents of the pharaoh's magicians.)

Keep in mind that soothsaying is the way that the world of sin glances into the fu-
ture.  Prophecy is God's gift, in navigating mankind to its intended destiny.  Where-
as soothsaying is a sin, derived from the laziness of not wanting to pray, fast, and
observe a discipline which gains clear communication avenues to God, prophesy-
ing is not.  In as much, the only thing in focus here is the unintended coincidences 
of major WWII events that occurred on pivotal feast days of the Catholic Church:
The bombing results of a Nazi V1 rocket in Pas de Calais France, shortly
before the Liberation of Parish which transpired on the feast day of a
canonized king of France, ever so coincidentally.
- August 25, 1944 was the day when Paris was Liberated.  August 25th was ever so
  coincidentally the feast day of King Louis IX.  The logical conclusion is that Paris
  was liberated at the intercession of the canonized king of the House of Capet.  Or
  else it was God making a statement about Divine Providence.

- The United States' Pacific involvement in WWII began on the day commemorating
   the beginning of the Virgin Mary's life and it ended on the day commemorating the
   end of Mary's life on earth.  The U.S. was first attacked on eve of the Solemnity of
   the Immaculate Conception . . . December 7, 1941, a date that will live in infamy.

   The U.S. then formally declared war on Japan on the actual Feast of the Immaculate
   Conception.  The Immaculate Conception was and is the official patron saint of the
   United States.  The Immaculate Conception is the Virgin Mary, herself.   Therefore,
    America entered the Pacific war on the feast day of its patron, done through a pre-
   dominately Protestant congress whose members NEITHER believed in the doctrine 
   of the Immaculate Conception NOR in the Catholic Church.  
   
   In as much,  there was no subliminal suggestivity here.  Therefore, the anti-theist 
   scientivists of this world need to come up with more a convincing reason as to how
   this could have been nothing more than a mere coincidence ... concerning the most 
   horrendous war ever that was ever so coincidentally prophesied at Fatima.

   The same war which was conditionally prophesied at Fatima formally ended on the
   14th of August, 1945, in as far as concerned combat hostilities and the exchanging
   of fire between Pacific enemies.  The 14th of August was the eve of the Feast of the
   Assumption; the eve of commemorating Mary being taken into Heaven in a glorified 
   body.

    Ironically, August 14 was also the anniversary of the death of Maximillian Kolbe,
    the Polish Franciscan who was a missionary in Japan and who was later killed in a
    Nazi concentration camp, by means of lethal ejection (carbolic acid, aka phenol.)
    St. Maximillian's Japanese mission was located in Nagasaki ... the second Japanese
    city to be bombed by nuclear fire power.
    ___________________________________________________________________

-  As was previously mentioned, the great light in the night sky mentioned by Mary at
   Fatima occurred on the memorial of the Conversion of St Paulthe 25th of January.
  That day commemorates the time when a flash of light blinded Saul of Tarsus, throw-
   ing him off his horse and preventing him from executing any more Christians.

   In 1938, a great light was seen throughout the European night sky so much so that
   people were calling fire departments, in order to report a huge fire.  It would tech-
   nically be regarded as a low altitude red aurora, and it would be described in the
   presses as Europe's first aurora since 1709, the year when the Great Northern War
   began its twenty-one year drama of combat, ironically enough. 

   Then, on September 20, 1941, yet another aurora visited the skyline of Bermuda.
   September 1941 ever so coincidentally began America's involvement in the Euro-
   pean war, via the Lend/Lease Agreement which was signed into law by FDR in
   March of 1941.  It consisted in sending tons of materiel and logistical equipment
   to England.  This resulted several US merchant and cargo ships being sunk off the
   Carolina coastline by Nazi U-Boats.  

   In September of 1941, the war came to America, while an aurora came to Bermuda,  
   an Atlantic American island ruled by the British whom the Americans were supply-
   ing.   The U-boat attacks upon American ships was known as the Battle of the Atlantic.

   In as much, for Hitler to have won the war, he needed to have attacked America in
   far greater numbers than he did, in September of 1941.  After Dunkirk, Hitler could
   have let England alone, and saved its conquest for last.  He made a fatal error in 
   in bombing London as obsessively as he did.  He made an even more fatal error in 
   attacking Russia before securing England.  Even at that, Russia had far too many 
   tanks in Russia.  The Germans didn't have a chance to survive the Russian counter-
   attack.

   Hitler, if he were a competent world-conquest dictator, should have occupied the
   Azores and then taken over Bermuda, with the rest of the Caribbean to follow suit.
   Europe could have rested.  Well, Hitler was going to attack Gibraltar.  But, Franco
   made it known that he was going to keep Spain neutral throughout the war.  Hitler
   had to cancel the attack on Gibraltar which might have been followed by the occu-
   pation of the Azores and then the Caribbean.  

   The lesson is that you must first attack the supplier nations in a war.  This neglect 
   lost the war that Hitler personally started.  Of course, in the presence of sin, there 
   is no wisdom, such as the wisdom to quickly win and end a war, as well as the wis-
   dom of avoiding war.


   October 4, 1940 was the feast day of Italian saint, Francis of Assisi.  October 4 was
   also the day when Mussolini and Hitler met as the Brenner pass, to make an alliance
   for further warfare.  The irony is that St. Francis is one of the church's patron saints
   of peace.  In fact, the day prior was when the Jews were ordered to move into the
   Warsaw ghetto.

- The Nazis succeeded in occupying Rome on September 15, 1943.  It was the Mem-
   orial of Our Lady of Sorrows.  It was a sorrowful day.

-  Italy surrendered to the allies on the eve of the feast of Saint Michael the Archangel.
   The same Italy later declared war on Nazi Germany on the anniversary of the Fatima
   Miracle of the Sun.  The idea of Italy declaring war on Germany was as unexpected
   as the sun's conduct on October 13, 1917.
   ____________________________________________________________________

-  The U.S. 8th Army Air Force was designed with the philosophy that destroying the
    Nazi German military infrastructure behind enemy lines would quickly end the war.
    It was activated on the feast day of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the official philosopher
    of the Catholic Church who wrote on the Just War Theory and measured the moral
    implications of collateral damage in warfare.  It were as if he were the patron saint
    of the American air wings who quickly made use of the more reliable Norden Bomb
    Site, when targeting the Nazi military infrastructure from the sky.

    The collateral damage resulting from American daylight bombing raids, which some-
    times was massive and at other times was not, was due to technological limitations,
    except for the bombing of Hamm, shortly after Operation Market Garden failed.
    Even the bombing of Berlin concentrated on the administrative offices there.

   The three-day attack on Hamm ended in one air raid that no longer targeted Hamm's
    marshaling yards.  Hamm, itself, became the target, being that it was largely a mili-
    tary staging town.  The whole town was almost a military base, in itself.

    None the less, the British air force was the one who bombed civilian targets, doing
    so at night.  It was an air force without a conscience, much like the Nazi's Luftwaffe.

   The following short segment is a timeline and mapline of connected coincidences:

-  D-Day occurred on the feast day of St Norbert of Xanten; the bishop of Magdeburg;
   a Rhineland bishop.  The coincidence is that the Nazi's last stance west of the Rhine
   was in Xanthan.  Then, the allies finally crossed the Rhine, doing so on the feast of
   Saint Gabriel the Archangel.  Remember that the pre-Vatican II church calendar was
   in effect during the war.  Saint Gabriel's feast day was March 24 at the time.
   ___________________________________________________________________

- The first atomic bomb ever used in warfare, thereby instantaneously transfiguring
   the terrain of Hiroshima, was dropped on the Feast of the Transfiguration, the 6th
   of August.

  The first time in history when an atomic bomb was detonated, in New Mexico, was
  on the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, July 16, 1944.

- 48,498 Polish allied troops of the 2nd Polish Corps defeated the Nazi Germans in
   the Battle of Monte Cassino on the 24th birthday of former Solvay Chemical Com-
   pany employee, Karol Wojtyla.  At the time of the battle, he was a clandestine sem-
   inarian living at the residence of Kraków archbishop Adam Stefan Sapieha.  He
   would become the Successor of Saint Peter in 1978.  The day of victory was the
   18th of May, 1944.

- May 8, 1945 was Victory in Europe Day.  Well, May 8 is the anniversary of Saint
  Michael the Archangel's apparition at Monte Gargano.  It's also the anniversary of
  the victory of  the  Christian Lombards over the still-pagan Neapolitans, in 663.

Concerning the January 25, 1938 Phenomenon

There are other coinciding events in history related to this, whatever it might mean.
For example, December 14, 1862, an Aurora Borealis was seen at Fredericksburg's
blood-soaked battlefield, exactly one night before a five day battle there ceased.
In reality, the battle ended the day prior.  The final two days were withdrawal days,
being that casualties mounted to 18,000 of the 184,000 troops who fought there.

Before 1938, Continental Europe hadn't seen an aurora since 1709, the year when
the 21 year-long Great Northern War started.  That war's cast of characters includ-
ed the Ottoman Empire, for a temporary duration. 

For the record, solar storms were seen on Continental Europe between 1709 and 
1938, but not throughout the entire western sector thereof.  An example is the solar 
storm viewed in France and Switzerland, in 1903, on All Saints Day, of all things.

Concerning 1903, that was the year when Benito Mussolini ever so coincidentally
was expelled from Switzerland for suggesting a general labor strike there.  He was 
only 20 years at the time.  If Mussolini weren't expelled from Switzerland, he would 
never have become Italian head of state, bringing tragedy to the Italian people.  

As far as concerned France, 1903 was the preliminary year of the Morocco Crisis.
This high octane crisis would continue into the start of World War I.  In fact, it was
recognized as one of the 'long-term' causes of the Great War.

There are no such things as coincidences when they come in multiplicity.  Divine Pro-
vidence can speak in the course of human events, proving that no man has the power
that he might think he possesses, no matter how strong be his political base, no matter
how broad be his crony network, and no matter how well-armed be his military.  Man's
true power is in prayer and sacrifice.  Everything is a result of prayer and sacrifice or
the absence thereof.

How does a naysayer, an atheist, and an anti-theist explain the multiple timeline of
coincidences attached to specific Catholic feast days and specific historic events
attached to WWII?  As was previously mentioned, it were as if they were messages
handwritten upon a Babylonian wall.  The coincidences can catch one's curiosity.

The Eve of Bastille Day and the Vision of Hell, 1917

July 13 was also the date of the nearly-successful assassination attempt made upon Donald Trump.

The French Republic's national holiday commemorates July 14, 1789

Bastille Day is the anniversary of God abandoning the French monarchy.  It com-
memorates the phase of history when the Divine Guillotine of an exasperated God
fell upon an unresponsive House of Bourbon.  Jump backward 100 years before
the French Revolution ignited.  The paragraph-long background goes as follows: 

Christ had previously appeared more than once to a French nun of the Visitation
Order, in Burgundy, between 1673 and 1675.  Her name is Margaret Mary Ala-
coque, a canonized saint.  If you are real, as opposed to a hypocrite, the words
which Christ spoke to her will change your life.  None the less, it was June 1689
when Christ appeared again to the same Margaret Mary.  This time, he instructed
her to relay a decisive message to the reigning king of France. It happened to be
Louis XIV at the time, and it isn't even known if he was handed the message.

Part of what Christ told Margaret Mary on June 17, 1689, goes as follows:

  The eternal Father, wishing to repair the bitterness and agony that the Heart 
  of Jesus endured in the palaces of earthly princes, wishes to make use of the 
  reigning monarch of France to proclaim public devotion of reparation to 
  that Sacred Heart.

In brief summary, Christ wanted the King of France to consecrate himself and his
kingdom to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  The result for doing so, Christ promised,
was that the House of Bourbon would be granted victory over the enemies of the
church who were more than willing to dismantle the French monarchy as much as
the Catholic Church.  The reigning monarch at the time was the one whom history
nicknamed the Sun King.  Needless to say, Louis XIV established no type of devo-
tion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus at court.  Nor did he perform any consecration
of France to the same Sacred Heart.

Louis XV performed no such consecration, either.  Nor did he establish any devo-
tion to the Heart of Christ in the palaces of France.  Neither did King Louis XVI,
the grandson of the Sun King.  As a result, one hundred years (and twenty-seven
days) after the apparition which conditionally promised victory to the Bourbon
kings if and only if one of them would honor Christ's request, the door closed on
the French monarchy.  It was July 14, 1789.

                 A Brief Background of the July 13, 1917 Fatima Apparition
                        (If you're familiar with it, jump to the next section.)

On the Eve of Bastille Day, 1917, the Virgin Mary returned to three Portuguese
shepherd children and showed them a vision of Hell.  It was fitting for the sea-
son.  During her July visit, the Virgin Mary extended her hands downward, as
if to be opening a window.   This happened the prior month, but in June, the
 three children found themselves immersed in the presence & majesty of God.
When July 13 came, the children saw Hell. 

Sr. Lucia stated that she saw the souls of humans falling into Hell at the rate of
falling snow.  She said that she was also able to distinguish the damned humans
from the demons.  The fallen angels (aka demons) looked more animalistic: like
distorted beasts.

Also on July 13 came Mary's mention that she would later ask for the collegial
consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart ... on the eve of the day which
commemorates the devastation which comes from refusing to comply with a re-
quest for a sacred act of consecration.  This is timing and synchronization at its
finest.

Mary stated that the consecration needed to be done by the Vicar of Christ, in
union with all of the available bishops of the earth.  Furthermore, Mary confid-
ed the Third Secret of Fatima to the children on July 13.  The third secret was
told after Mary mentioned a list of the evils which would befall humanity if the
Vicar of Christ would fail to perform the consecration ... and if people failed to
perform the communion of reparation to her Immaculate Heart.

The reigning pope at the time neglected to have the consecration performed.
Meanwhile, the laity of the church apparently neglected to perform the acts of
reparation, in restitution for the blasphemies being committed against the truths
about Mary, such as her immaculate conception, when she was created free of
the state of original sin.

The Next Section

Now, why did Mary ask the pope and world's bishops to consecrate Russia? 
ANS:  Part One of the answer is that an atheistic Russia wasn't going to do it
on its own.

Let's go a step further.  Why was the inclusion of the Catholic Church's bish-
ops necessary to convert a nation that was soon to fall into atheism, injustice,
and even genocide?  ANS:  For the Gift of Discernment to blanket Russians.
This gift comes through the sacramental channels of the priesthood that has
remained in union with the Chair of Peter, as opposed to a separatist priest-
hood that doesn't acknowledge the primacy of Peter.

Discernment is the gift that prevents a person or an entire nation from being
deceived by the Devil.  Discernment occurs when one does what the church
calls "obedience" ... of obedience to an ordained church authority not locked
in heresy.  In fact, the Gift of Discernment is the entire point for the existence
of the Chair of Peter.  Christ established the office of the Prince of the Apostles,
otherwise known , aka the papacy, so that the church would not fall into error,
concerning its doctrine.
                                              The Insulation Effect

Next question:  Why did the Virgin Mary in 1917 and 1929, as well as Christ
in 1931, state or infer (depending on the occasion) that all the bishops of the
world needed to perform the consecration?  ANS:  It is because Russia was
poised to spread its emerging errors throughout the entire world.  Thus, each
available bishop was to fend off the coming errors that were to spread every-
where.  View this in the following way:

When one installs batts of insulation, he/she must apply a layer on the entire
wall, in order for the insulation to work.  If one panel of the wall is without
a batt of insulation, the coldness of the outside will makes its way through the
wall. The bishops are supposed to be the sheets of insulation that can shield
Russia and world from the proverbial coldness of the Satanic world.

              What is wrong with the picture painted in June of 2000?

Angelo Sodano was the criminal accomplice of serial molester Marcial Maciel
Degollado.  He was the Vatican secretary of state in the Year 2000.   In keeping
with his deceitfulness, Sodano claimed that John Paul's 1984 solo consecration
of the world was the one that Heaven accepted as the collegial consecration of
Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Time out.  What is wrong with this
picture? 

ANS:  The pope performed a consecration of the whole world.  Why did not
the other nations of the world convert as a result of it, if Russia did?

Comparing the Holy Trinity to a Song, a Chant, or a Hymn as well as Comparing Him to a Waterfall with a Radiating Mist

The following comes from:  1} St. Bonaventure's Spiration (his teaching on the
eternal interaction between the persons of the Trinity,)  2} St. Thomas Aquinas'
writings on the essence &  attributes of God, and 3} St. Catherine of Siena's men-
tion of transformative love.  If this article fails to achieve understanding, then it's
the fault of the writer (yours truly,) and not the aforesaid doctors of the church.

It's important to first know that the mystery of love is that of in transforming in-
to the object of your love.   In the Holy Trinity, the Father eternally transforms
into the Son and the Son eternally transforms into the Father.   This transforma-
tion is the Holy Spirit, itself.  Now, if one were to describe a basic outline of the
Trinity, by means of comparing him to a song, then one would start by stating:


The first infinite person of the Trinity begins
by generating the lyric: 
               
                Let there be light.

The second infinite person of the Holy Trinity
simultaneously requites the generated light, by
radiating a tone of understanding and consent
which says: 
                             So be it

     The light is the Holy Spirit himself.
Within the Holy Spirit is the living fulfillment of every ideal embraced by the first
infinite person of the Trinity.   The ideals of God are not inanimate.  They're living
realities, living in the Holy Spirit.   They're not air headed "happy thoughts."  They
are a designed set of aspirations and preferences willed to be in existence.  In order
for such aspirations and ideals to be perfect, they must be actualized.  They must be
living.  They are the Holy Spirit, himself.  They're God's personality traits and God's
essence simultaneously.

The attributes of God include the virtues of fidelity and generosity, as well as kind-
ness and honesty.  They are humility and gratitude, as well as fortitude and fidelity.
They are equally justice and temperance, as well as mercy and generosity, existing
in equal fraternity.  It's not that God is full of virtue.  Rather, God IS virtue; the to-
tality of virtue acts in essence, infinitely existing and all at once.  Plus, within God
there is no conflict.

Divine Love is also known as Agape, (pronounced awe-gah-pay.)   Being that the
ideals of God the Father are living realities existing in one spirit, this means that
God is the infinite perfection of every virtue in existence simultaneously transpir-
ing in one being.   The aspect of God being living virtue, acting out all virtue, in-
finitely so, was explained by Thomas of Aquinas. 

Each infinitely radiating ideal is given the full consent of the second person of the
Trinity.  The second person was the inspiration for these ideals to exist.  That is to
say that the second person was the motivation for the Eternal Father's thoughts of
virtue.  In fact, the second person of the Holy Trinity is the First person's reason
for being.  If the second person of the Trinity didn't exist, the first person of the
Trinity wouldn't have been motivated to exist.

Each ideal, such as kindness, is the essence of the Holy Spirit himself.  Now, for
the finite human mind in the fallen state of original sin to comprehend the myst-
ery of the Holy Trinity is no different than attempting to place an ocean in a sand
bucket.  The most that we can do on Earth is make sand castles on the shoreline.

The general lyrics in the song of the Holy Trinity are a chorus:

First Person ------- Let there be light.    
Second Person --- I witness it to be good and I consent in it being.
First Person ------ Let there be the infinite perfection of every virtue.  
Second Person --- So be it in an unbroken collection.
First Person ------ Let it be alive in one Spirit.   
Second Person --- Let it radiate through me.

That's the paraphrased version of the Song of the Holy Trinity.  Now, the accom-
panying music to that song is of an untold quality, where the Father empties him-
self into his Eternal Son, somewhat like a waterfall.   The Holy Spirit happens to
be the water.

When comparing the Holy Trinity to a waterfall, the first person of the Trinity
becomes the light refracting throughout the water, while the second person of
the Trinity is the spray of that waterfall, making the droplets look like deeply
colored gems of a majestic quality.   It's music with infinite sustain, and there
is a gentleness to it, amidst majesty and deep tones.   If you ever come hear it,
your life will never be the same again.

A replacement word for "So Be It" is Amen.  This is why Jesus is referred to as  
the Amen  in the Book of Revelations, at the third chapter ... Verse 14, if you're
curious.  In fact, he is referred to as the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, and
the Source of God's Creation.   He consents in the Father's Will and then makes it
happen.   He requites the same person's spirations ... aspirations and inspirations.
The Holy Trinity is the one able to be in the state of being without outside help.

My reflections of a Trappist monastery

I have written in condemnation of certain cardinals.  I publicly stated
in early 2012, both in writing and during a recorded interview, that Pope
Benedict XVI needed to resign.  I also called for the canonical disband-
ing of the Legionaries of Christ religious order.  I then condemned the
vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan who identified himself as an ad-
herent to the Catholic Faith and a pro-life champion.  He was no such
thing.

In light of the aforesaid, a presumptive person would immediately brand
me as an anti-Catholic at the outset.  The same type of person would guess
that I'm vehemently antagonistic to the idea of Catholic monasticism and
anything Catholic.  Well, guess again. 

Firstly, those cardinals whom I condemned were/are wolves in shepherds'
clothing, and St Francis de Sales stated long ago that it's an act of charity
to warn the sheep of the wolves in their midst, wherever the wolves may
be.  Thus, I was performing an act of charity.

Secondly, Benedict XVI did resign almost one year to the day after I pub-
licly stated that he should do so.   I was on queue and on target, yet I got
shunned for stating what I did. 

Thirdly, a religious order founded by a morphine addict and molester who
regularly had legionaries hand deliver envelopes of 'polite bribery' to Vati-
can officials was not founded in good will.  Being that the founder's writ-
ings and plagiarisms were banned, the entire religious order needs to be
dissolved.  Any religious order founded by a devil needs to be liquidated.

Fourthly, as far as goes Paul Ryan, he repeatedly lied, he publicly praised
atheist Ayn Rand, and his budget was declared immoral by the American
bishops.  There was nothing identifiably Catholic about Ryan.  He was an-
other Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden, pretending to believe in Catholicism as
a ploy to get the Catholic vote. 

The Subject at Hand:  Trappist Monasticism

I was a long-term guest at a Trappist monastery, for the intention of writing
about Corporate Sin and the Sin of Cooperation.  That subject is at this site,
incidentally.  None the less, I vividly saw that Trappist monasteries are the
pillars that keep humanity from crashing down into annihilation.

The strength of any Trappist Monastery comes from prayer and sacrifice.
In addition, the unique aspect of the Trappists (Cistecians of the Strict Ob-
servance) is that it was the only Catholic monastic order (at least up to the
time of its founding) dedicated to the Virgin Mary.  At the Trappist Mona-
stery where I stayed (in Massachusetts), her presence was everywhere.

At the monastery, I learned with neither tutor nor book that Christ in the
tabernacle is a lighthouse asking you to watch with him.  I learned that
the Great Silence which starts after Compline (prayer service) is an ex-
pansive time of peace where you start to notice things not yet realized
about life and existence.

I learned a number of other things at the Trappist monastery, the most
significant one being how to tell a holy person from a fraud.  A fraud
attempts to make himself look superior in insight and countenance, all
the while acting as if he is distant from the rest of humanity, on some
type of Mount Olympus,  looking down upon mankind.  The fraud
makes himself seem glamorous and unapproachable.   This is no-
thing more than conceit.

The saint, in contrast, acts like the boy next door.  When you are
around a saint, you feel at home.  You feel so at ease in the pre-
sence of the person that you feel as if you knew him/her all your
life.

In the presence of a fraud, people guard what they reveal, lest they be
written-off as unacceptable.  In the presence of a saint, a person feels
that he/she can confide anything to the saint and not be betrayed in
terms of confidentiality.

Conversing with a saint can be a very heart-moving experience.  The
fraud provokes a fake form of piety ... such as flag waving, putting
your hand on your heart, and saying the pledge of allegiance to his
national flag.  Saints are NOT into nationalism.  Saints are universal-
ly minded people.

At the monastery, I stayed in the attic of the guest cottage.  In the
evening, at the completion of sunset, I would hear the sheep in the
back yard for a short while.  Then deep into the night, I would hear
something gnawing at the floor board, somewhat on a regular basis.
The atmosphere was so peaceful that it gnawing sound didn't disturb
me.

The U.S. Constitution's Establishment Clause and the actual dynamics between Church & State

If there were absolute separation of Church and State in America, 
there would have never been chapels on United States military bases.
 In light of this, consider the following commonly encountered scenarios:


1]  The police officer hired by the State directs traffic solely for the benefit of
      parishioners leaving a Sunday church service.  If there were the absolute
      separation of Church and State, there would be no police officers directing
      church traffic anywhere in America, and there would be chaos on State roads
      on Sundays.

2]  The detective hired by the state investigates the allegations of clergy abuse com-
     mitted upon parishioners.  If there were absolute separation of Church and State
     in America, the molestation of altar boys would have gone unchecked and have
     become a pandemic.

3]  In 1844, Philadelphia-area Protestants, in their paranoiac hatred of a pope they
     never met, torched a Catholic Church.  In fact, they literally fired a canon at it.
     In response, soldiers employed by State rallied to the protection the Catholics
     who, at the time, were hated with seething ferocity by certain Protestant sects.
     If there were the absolute separation of Church and State, there would have
     been either a massacre in Philadelphia or the start of a literal civil war there.

     The Conclusion is that the First Amendment Establishment Clause requires the
     State to make sure that its citizens are able to freely practice religion. 

     In the alternate:

1] Catholic, Quaker, and Episcopalian schools fulfilled the job of the State in edu-
    cating students in non-religion subjects such as mathematics, science, history,
    art, and literature.  This means that there are religious institutions functioning
    as the State five days a week.  After all, the State enacted mandatory school laws
    and religious institutions fulfilled said laws by educating many youth above and
    beyond the topic of religion.
                                                      Added note:

               When a private entity acts as the government, in being the surrogate
               of said government, it's known as "acting under the color of law."
               You can sue the federal government for a civil rights violations com-
               mitted by a private institution acting under the color of law.

2] Catholic and Protestant charities of varying sort fulfill the job of the State in going
     to the aid of hurricane victims, even to the point of receiving federal dollars in the
     process.  In fact, the Catholic Church, for years, received taxpayer dollars through
     social service government contracts.  In this capacity, churches have acted under
     the color of law.  Churches have become the surrogate of the government.

3] Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant medical facilities act under the color of law each
     time their facilities treat a patient sponsored by the medicaid program.

4] Catholic, Jewish, Moslem, Protestant, Hindu, etc, chaplains are hired by the U.S.
     government, to care for the spiritual well-being of U.S. military personnel.  They
     are not hired to establish any one religion.  Rather, they are paid to secure the re-
     ligious rights of the military personnel who need chaplains, in order for the religious
     rights to be something real.  During WWII, there were priests at the war fronts giv-
     ing last rites to mortally wounded American soldiers and to anyone else caught in
     the line fire.  The United State government funded the priests, the chaplains behind
     the front line, and the military chaplain in the States.
 
    Other observations involving the relationship between Church and State:

1] The television broadcast of Midnight Mass somewhere on Earth is governed by
     the FFC in America.  If there were the absolute separation of Church and State,
     the church would have to intrude on frequencies designated by the government,
     in order to broadcast to humanity.

2] The private jet which flew John Paul II and Benedict XVI throughout portions of
    America flew solely under the law of the FAA.  If there were the absolute separa-
    tion of Church and State, the jet carrying a pope would have crashed into another
    jet liner eventually, or else such a jet would have created aerial havoc.

3] The priests and nuns made homeless by a hurricane have the right to seek help
     from FEMA.  If there were the absolute separation of Church and State, then
     priests and nuns would freeze to death during blizzards, drown during floods,
     and remain without shelter after tornadoes. 

In addition:

It is a well known practice to begin a congressional session with a chaplain praying be-
fore the session.  If there were the absolute separation of Church and State, then no
prayer of any kind would be heard in a congressional chamber.  It's simply that the re-
ligions take turns in delivering the opening prayer in American congressional chambers,
because there is no established religion in America.

The Federal Judiciary Conclusion:  The phrase "Separation of Church and State"
is a misnomer.  Mention of it does NOT appear in the United States Constitution.  Rath-
er, the United States Bill of Rights has the Establishment Clause which forbids the fed-
eral government or any individual State to establish an official state religion.  The same
clause protects a citizen from having his religion outlawed, unless the religion involves
criminal activity.

The First Amendment Establishment Clause guarantees that NO person will have to
support or adhere to a religion to which he does NOT want to belong.  It also guar-
antees that a person willing to adhere to a specific religion will not be required by the
government to violate his conscience in matters of faith and morals, provided that the
matter of conscience is written into the religion's official doctrine. 

One more thing:

If the practice/activity of a religion involves the doing of something illegal, then the re-
ligion is not permitted to practice it.  The example classically used was bigamy.  If a
religion allows bigamy, members of that religion are not permitted to practice bigamy
in the United States.

In the inverse, if an activity mandated by the State is NOT permitted by a person's re-
ligion, then the individual has the right to not be a part of the activity declared sinful in
his religion.  The most obvious example is war and the Quakers. 

In conclusion:

The much controverted United States First Amendment clause is NOT referred to as
the Separation of Church and State Clause, being that there is no absolute separation
of Church and State.  The operative phrase is the Establishment ClauseThis means
that you do not have to join a religion that you don't want to join.  This also means that
you can't force someone to stop practicing his/hers.
