4th Sunday After Pentecost 2019

Heresies Hurt

With one bad apple a hundred other apples are ruined. When our Lord was teaching the people, they crowded up to Him so that they might touch Him and be healed. He would heal their bodies on the land but when He stepped into Peter’s bark He would do much more for He would heal their souls with the truth. Consider your own experience of life. Every time you told a lie to your parents or a superior it grew and grew until it came back to bite you. Our hearts are meant for Truth and that Truth begets Love divine. So if there is something that can destroy that divine love it is error. In the theological jargon, error is heresy.

When our Lord stepped into the boat of Peter, he initiated the process of educating souls in the Truth of God’s Love. Consider the boat narratives in the Gospels. Remember when Jesus was sleeping in the boat and a great storm arose. All the apostles are present including Judas and St. Ambrose as well as St. John Chrysostom reveal the truth that Jesus will sleep when heretics are present. The presence of Judas was the cause for the disturbance that threatened the lives of all present. Hence they turned to our Lord and He stilled the waters. Recall also that Jesus picked the boat that was Peter’s for this privilege was to prepare Peter for his role in the plan of God to rescue men of good will.

Peter would be the apostle who would state the true nature of Jesus:  “Thou art the Son of God.”  Upon this fact our Lord would construct the Church which would last until the end of time. One soul without the consent of the rest held to the truth. Heresies will come upon the church at the beck and call of Satan. He has been given some time to fill the stolen bark of Peter and completely reverse the teaching of our Lord. We can all recognize it from the documents of Vatican II down to the moment of the Assissi event and now to a non-Catholic anti-Pope who is leading many unsuspecting souls to the bowels of hell.

Consider the document called “Lumen Gentium” which purports to tell us how the Church is the Light of the world and goes on to state such falsehoods. Number 22 speaks of the collegiality in which the Pope may act or the college of bishops may act with supreme power. Christ gave us one head in Peter and Vatican II has risen up a second head. The whole presentation of Lumen Gentium is filled with ambiguity and must be rejected as heretical. The truth cannot exist with error and error has no right to seek any credence from the truth.

So now the Church entrusted to the care of Peter with the apostolic band in communion with him and subordinating all to him. The reality upon which our Mystical Body rests is the proclamation that “God the Father so loved the world that He sent His only-begotten Son into the world to lay down His Precious Blood for the salvation of many souls.”  If we love our Lord we will keep His commandments. He never said that we may keep whatever rules culture would confirm. When He offered us the explanation of His eternal sacrifice, He told us that we must eat His Body and drink His Blood. Many disciples found this saying too hard and Our Lord lost the masses. He did not call them back and change his words to fit their desire. Culture is subservient to Christ and must accept divine truth as revealed.

Today the false facade of the Conciliar Church is becoming more and more evident but the flock has been feeding on heresies in word and in work. They have become the cause for the sinking of the ship. Only she who conquers all heresies can save the remnant from falling into error as well. The true shepherd will lay down his life for the flock. True priests will lay down their pensions, their health insurance, their wages and the convenience of a church and rectory to hold true to the faith in Christ Jesus. Families will come apart at the seams; religious order will be corrupted; the social order will fall into chaos. Why?  Heresies cannot hold up a society. Errors cannot be the foundation stones of our country.

We will come to the realization that Peter expressed when he saw the multitude of fish that were caught:  “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”  His humility would be his strength. It is not the person that matters; it is the truth that that person holds as the foundation of one’s eternity. As our Lord responded to Peter, He speaks to us as well: “From now on you must be a fisher of men.”  The bait that was used by the first Holy Father and the other apostles was clearly the Truth. Hence the Holy Ghost had to be sent in order to clarify and embolden the Pope and the apostles.

Today the ship is sinking and the Holy Trinity has called for an act of humility not an act of culture. The humble Pope will call all the bishops together to Consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (the most humble of all creation) in order to bring about a world conversion and a period of Marian peace unlike any peace the world has ever known. Pray many rosaries to conquer the many heresies which are destroying the world and the souls around us. The fact is “heresies hurt” and may this consecration heal us of all the heretics and their deceits.

In the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

Fr. Voigt, S.D.B
