Just two peasants in a potato field.” “What would the world be without the Angelus?” said the other. “Just a whirling globe with hopeless toilers crawling on it.” ¹ Communism did not exist when “other” made this observation yet he pro- phetically describes the Communist utopia that is our home. The Angelus recalls the Incarnation, that the Word was made flesh. Our Lord became man to redeem us. To pay the debt for our sins and open the gates of heaven. The Second Vatican Council reduced heaven to something natu- ral, granted to all members of the one big “human family”. In doing that it did away with the Angelus, the Incarnation, the Redemption, everything supernatural and holy. The Second Vatican Council is responsible for most of the evils in the miserable world that our gener- ation is privileged to live in. Without the Church being the leaven of society and the salt of the earth, there is no leaven, no salt. Savor has gone from the world. Men no longer have a purpose. Without the Angelus life is meaningless. Therefore we keep the Angelus; keep faith in the Incarnation; keep faith in the Redemption; keep faith in everlasting life. The Catholic Church is the only means of salvation. We need to believe in the Church. I believe in One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church is our Creed. It is a great mystery that the hierarchy of this Church is occupied by unbelievers. Men who are unconcerned about the Church being One and Holy. Men who have created a Conciliar Church in opposition to the Catholic Church. Holiness is necessary to combat despair. If there is no possibility of being holy, no possibility of practising heroic virtue, no possibility of being a hero, nothing to fight for, then those with large souls who are called to be saints have no place in the Conciliar Church. Even mediocre souls become bored with it and leave it. Their lives are wasted. We need to give such souls great ideals to seek. Make them realise that the only thing worth doing in this world is becoming a saint. The spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius are an excellent tool for doing this. We are hoping and praying to get a place to use for a retreat house where generous souls can separate themselves from the world for a time and contemplate the eternal truths. We need young people determined to give their lives to God. Parents need to make a home that encourages their children to deny themselves and take up their cross and follow Our Lord closely as all the saints have done. Some Eucharistic Crusaders have made themselves sacrifice beads and are amassing huge numbers of sacrifices every month. We don’t know what criteria they use to determine a sacrifice but their efforts are impressive. GOOD NEWS There have been some blessings in the last weeks, Deo Gratias. Fr. June Mark Ligan was ordained in Brazil by Bishop Thomas Aquinas, O.P., and is back in the Philippines helping with the Marian Corps Apostolate. Fr. Mina George, a young (24 years old) Chaldean Rite priest was conditionally ordained in Broadstairs, London, by Bishop Richard N. Williamson. He was obliged to quarantine for a fortnight in Sydney but is now back in Melbourne. His work is to restore tradition for the Chaldean faithful. It is a great blessing to have priests ordained in these evil days. Pray for them that they be- come holy priests and have fruitful apostolates. These ordinations are a blessing for the whole Church. Meanwhile border closures and travel restrictions have deprived many faithful of the sacraments. They need the virtue of hope and make acts of hope daily. Hope is the virtue by which we trust that God will provide us with all that is necessary for our salvation. Discouragement is from the devil. Q. What if I have the misfortune to commit a mortal sin and cannot get to confession? A. To lose ¹The Irish Rosary, vol. II, No. 3 – March 1898 The Broken Wheel 3 Issue 2 October 2020 sanctifying grace and separate ourselves from God is the greatest misfortune that can happen to us. The damage done is infinite. One dead in sin can do nothing for himself. He must have complete trust and confidence in God. He must go to Our Lady the refuge of sinners and ask her to obtain for him from God the grace to make an act of perfect contrition. God will give this grace. He knows our situation and has a fatherly love for us. He will assist us to repent and amend our lives. We must co- operate with His grace and make efforts to avoid sin and its occasions. God wants us to live in the State of Grace. If we have lost this state and suffer miserably in the state of sin, He wants us to amend our lives and become true disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Even with repeated falls into sin we must trust in God to give us contrition and forgiveness. The Angelus did happen. God does want to forgive sins. At Mass we are reminded that Our Lord shed His Blood for the remission of sins. The Australia State of Victoria is a police state. The police are enforcing arbitrary regulations with heavy-handed brutality. Fr. Pio Suneel, my colleague, and Fr. Mina George, along with both Chalde- an and Roman Rite faithful are in “lock down” in Victoria. Please pray for them. The Faith unites us into one body, the Mystical Body of Christ, and encourages us to work together. The revolution “liberates” us from this body. It individualises / atomises us and discourages mutual charity and cooperation. Individualised people easily succumb to and are enslaved by a police state as happened in the Soviet Union and is happening world-wide today. The world led by the Vatican Council and Conciliar Popes has rejected the light burden and sweet yoke of Our Lord Jesus Christ. All nations have said of Jesus Christ “this man will not reign over us.” Satan has quickly stepped in to rule. He has willing aids in the human race and we are all being enslaved by him. Before Our Lord came into the world most men worshipped devils and 90% of men were slaves. Now that Our Lord has been rejected most men worship devils and the slavery is more humiliating than pre-Christian slavery. The only solution is the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary which requires penance as well as prayer. Everyone should make an effort to say fifteen mysteries of the rosary daily. And do penance. Fasting, abstinence and alms deeds are the chief penances. One place to give alms is to the Carmelite Sisters in Ireland. Another is for a priory here in Queensland. Bishop Williamson has given his bless- ing to a project to buy some acres a few hours from Brisbane for a priory and retreat house. Since then Fr. Chazal has added that it should also be a pre-seminary. May God bless you, the Holy Angels watch over you and Our Lady care for you. St. Catherine, pray for us and help us think correctly. Fr. MacDonald, 24 October 2020—Feast of St. Raphael the Archangel The Broken Wheel 4 Issue 2 October 2020 Declaration on Religious Freedom, Dignitatis Humanae, on the right of the person and of communities to social and civil freedom in matters religious. Promulgated by His Holiness Pope Paul VI on December 7, 1965. Dignitatis Humanae is a document of the Second Vatican Council. This essay by Fr. Edward F. MacDonald demonstrates that it cannot be interpreted in a Catholic sense. It must be rejected in whole and in all of its parts. The Church Teaches The Creed tells us that God is the Creator of all things, visible and invisible. Therefore all things de- pend upon God. Lower creatures, those without reason, acknowledge their dependence upon God and submit to His rule naturally, instinctively, both individually and when they form societies, e.g., a beehive or a pride of lions.

  • FROM FRANCO to POPE JOHN PAUL I November 4, 2019
    THE SINS OF THE UNHOLY SEE: FROM FRANCO TO POPE JOHN PAUL I November 4, 2019 Enrique Torner World Languages and Cultures Minnesota State University, Mankato INITIAL FOREWARNING • This presentation is not meant to be an attack on the Catholic Church or on Catholics; it only intends to bring into the public attention certain historical facts that are little known even among academicians that may tarnish the supposed complete and perfect holiness of the Holy See, the governing body of the Catholic Church. • I am not a historian by profession: I have been teaching the history of Spain for many years on an irregular schedule within the frame of the Spanish Culture and Civilization course, and have taught the Spanish Civil War as a Topics course on a couple of occasions. It has been only during the last ten years that I have been researching the history of the Spanish Civil War, Franco’s dictatorship, and the Vatican, as well as some other history periods that have nothing to do with this presentation. I. THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR (1936-1939) • Before we describe how certain sectors of the Catholic Church behaved in unimaginable ways, we need to understand how the Catholic Church and many of its members were treated before and during the Spanish Civil War. • Here are a few photographs to illustrate the caliber of cruelty inflicted on the Catholic Church by Republican elements: I. THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR (1936-1939) (cont.) 1. It’s only with this background in mind that we can understand how certain members of the Catholic Church would want to retaliate against the Republicans, whom they considered a danger to their survival, and even establish a friendly relationship with Nazism and fascism, whose leaders and followers fought, like they did, the communists that wanted to destroy religion.
