Clever Destroyer &
Trail of Heresies & Apostasies
The Clever Destroyer
Ave Maria!
Christ Is Risen!
Thank you for your excellent remarks and observations in your response to your friend, Jan. Yes, the clever destroyer who identified with Judas has met the “God of Surprises”!
Surprise was my reaction truly after viewing this photo* taken on Saint Peter's balcony Easter Sunday morning because, from the evident pleased expression of those surrounding him, one could conclude that none anticipated the Eternal summons was only hours away.
Our Lady's words should prepare us for not only what we may live to see happen to Rome, but also within the United States, given the crop of American Bishops who these long years since Bernardin's ascendancy have enabled Communists and Sodomites to populate and run rampant in God's Vineyard. As you showed us, She plainly explains...
Our Lady of Good Success told the Conceptionist nun Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres that there is a limit to the patience of God: “Know that Divine Justice releases terrible chastisements on entire nations not only for the sins of the people, but especially for those of priests and religious persons. For the latter are called by the perfection of their state to be the salt of the earth, the masters of truth, and the shields to hold back Divine Ire.” (The Admirable Life of Mother Mariana, Vol II, p. 283).
It is always an encouragement to read TIA! Thank you for increasing our understanding with every issue of your newsletters.
Continued Easter Week blessings to you and all at TIA,
In Maria!

A Long Trail of Heresies & Apostasies
From Betrayal to Glory: Unmasking Hypocrisy in the Catholic Church and Trusting in God's Cleansing Justice
The death of Pope Francis can scarcely be called a coincidence. It occurred on Easter Monday – a day laden with significance, as the Council of Trent and the Church Fathers teach. Easter Monday continues the triumph of Christ’s resurrection, heralding Eastertide as a season of renewal and victory over sin and death. It’s as if Divine Providence itself speaks, reminding us that resurrection follows the cross – a profound truth for a Catholic Church burdened with crisis.
Amidst the wounds of apostasy and the fading of divine Catholic truth since the Council of Apostasy, I ask: What would I do if I were the Pope? Pope Francis, celebrated for his connection to the people, often embodied a radical left-wing politician – more a politician than a shepherd, elevating human rights above the sovereign reign of Christ. Though his motives may have stemmed from compassion, his focus often strayed towards earthly agendas that obscured, erased, and ultimately destroyed the uniqueness of the Mystical Body of Christ.
To the hypocrites – from prelates to laity – now hailing him as a saint, let them recall the fear of God. It is no small offence to exalt anything – or anyone – above the King of Kings. True devotion demands absolute fidelity to Christ, for no cause can rival His eternal reign.
Francis left behind a long trail of heresies and apostasies, piercing right through the heart of the Holy Apostolic Catholic Church and Our Lord Himself. While listing them all would serve no purpose here, one should suffice to stir in you the fear of God’s wrath: He dared to say that all religions lead to God. Worse still, he even tolerated worship of pagan figures. Can you comprehend the gravity of this? Can you grasp what it means for your soul to condone such acts? Fear God, and hold fast to the truth of His singular, unwavering path.
Whoever follows Francis will almost certainly prove to be yet another calamity – like a serpent shedding its skin, appearing fresh yet unchanged in its intent, still cunning, still venomous. The Catholic Church, betrayed by her own guardians, has been delivered into the hands of her adversaries. And yet, my optimism remains steadfast: This age of apostasy will summon the divine wrath of God, Who will sweep aside the chaff and purify His wheat, preparing His Bride for the glorious reign of Christ the King.
Were I to bear the mantle of the Papacy, I would enthrone Christ as the essence of life itself – the air we breathe, the water that sustains us, the bread that nourishes us. Every sense – sight, sound, taste, touch and smell – would be directed heavenward to glorify Him. Nations would declare Him the Alpha and the Omega, with Crucifixes adorning every space – impossible to ignore – testifying to His ultimate sacrifice and victory.
Upon seeing the Crucifix, all would immediately kneel and bow their heads, humbled before the King of Kings. At the sound of the Catholic Church bells – so loud that none could remain in bed – life would pause. Accompanying the bells, I would proclaim, “Wake up, O sleepers!” as Gregorian chants resound in triumphant praise, lifting every soul heavenward in reverence.
Sundays would be truly sanctified. Shops would close, and the Holy Catholic Mass would be the day’s centre piece. Families and communities would devote themselves to worship, prayer, and acts of charity, creating a chorus of thanksgiving. Women would look to the Blessed Virgin Mary as their model of grace and modesty, while men would follow Saint Joseph’s example, learning strength, humility and faithfulness. Young men would rise as soldiers of Christ, unwavering in their loyalty to Him, even unto death.
In addition, children would be taught Latin from an early age as a cornerstone of their Catholic education. They would learn Latin prayers by heart, including the Credo, the Rosary, and prayers to Saint Joseph and Saint Michael, instilling in them the beauty and timelessness of the Church’s sacred language and traditions.
Christ the King would be proclaimed the sole path to salvation – no compromise, no ambiguity, no ecumenical confusion. The Catholic Church would stand boldly on this truth, a beacon of hope to all who seek the light. Daily life would be interwoven with prayer, devotion and the rhythm of the liturgical calendar. Education would be rooted in Christ’s teachings, and Catholic art, music, and literature would glorify His beauty. Families would become sanctuaries of Faith, where Scripture and the Sacraments are cherished as life’s foundation.
This vision would transform the world into a majestic Catholic cathedral – a realm where every action and aspiration flows towards the glory of God. Though I know it will not come to pass in my lifetime, I would give everything I have, including my very life, to make it a reality.
As Scripture reminds us: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). “Ad majorem Dei gloriam” – or the greater glory of God. “Modo hominibus suadeo, an Deo? An ut placeam hominibus? Si adhuc hominibus placerem, Christi servus non essem”—“Do I seek to please man, or God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:10).

Re: Italian Freemasonry Honors Pope Bergoglio
God bless!
Just coming across your site - got to say I’ve been highly interested.
If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your stance on the recent Popes? do you believe the papacy is vacant or the false pope theory?
God bless
D.G.
TIA responds:
Hello D.G.,
We thank you for your support and question.
With the recent death of Pope Francis, the seat is currently vacant until a new Pope is elected. However, we do not subscribe to sede-vacantism, and we strongly warn readers against it.
You can read our full positions on sede-vacantism here, and why we believe it is an ally of Progressivism, since it moves people from a position of resistance, to abandon the Church to her enemies and leave the fight under the pretext of loving orthodoxy.
We hope this answers your question.
Cordially
