Or, if you'd prefer to stay on the surface and not get dirty (my personal recommendation), simply pick up a Rosary, step over the rabbit hole, and understand that satan is real, ancient and several orders of magnitude smarter than us (think: human v. animal orders of magnitude).
Whilst what you say is true, your point needs finessing. We need to inform ourselves so that we can identify evil, whilst not allowing it to distract us from the far more important task of saving our souls by a life of prayer in obedience to Our Lord Jesus Christ. As an example supporting my point, I was told many times over the years in the confessional that blogs are not the means to salvation (I never said they were, but it was a common enough response from priests to internet related near occasions). The problem is, that many of these priests appear to have been completely blind-sided by the events of the Covid19 Scamdemic, many called it wrong with regard the "vaxxes" and even the SSPX superiors got the remote material cooperation with evil facts completely wrong and gave catastrophically bad advice to faithful. On balance, we need to traverse those rabbit holes so that we can navigate the material existence in which we find ourselves, but ensure we're on our knees (praying for the victims and perpetrators of what we discover!).
And obviously, we've both been down some rabbit holes...
The counterpoint is, IF those priests (and others) truly acknowledged the implications of the reality of the devil (which is, in fact, reality), they would not have been blindsided, nor would they have been giving such terrible advice... This is why the 50-year controlled demolition of the Roman Catholic Church was the obvious prerequisite for COVID/Climate/NWO.
My guess is that the priests, religious and laypeople who have seen the devil and his manifestations didn't fall for the COVID scams nor dispense destructive advice re: material cooperation with evil...
No way the Cure de Ars would have been fooled by COVID (or by the conciliar "reforms").
(FWIW, I personally was fooled... until I was blessed with the unmerited grace of conversion in the Spring of 2021)
I’m not Catholic but I can’t find any churches not sold out. I pray directly to Jesus. Can’t even tell you how many blessings I’ve had in my life since I repented for doing new age deception.
We're on the same hymn sheet indeed! God bless you for your conversion - it's very amazing being on the ground in God's True Church in these extraordinary times is it not? I find that the breadth and depth of the attack on the Church, which really increased in tempo from 1517, all serve to demonstrate that it is the only true opposition to the Prince of this World and his deluded minions. Not at all embarassing, quite the opposite since our internal enemies merely serve to indicate that what Roman Catholicism is really about is the opposite of what they present it as!
I converted in 1999 after 15 years of marriage to my wife, a cradle Catholic. I've experienced the whole rich panoply of off the rails craziness through to the majestic beauty of the Tridentine Mass: attended a liberal Catholic grammar school in the 70's - we had monks and nun's, but they were ex-monks and nuns for the most part. Got married with the blessing of a nuptial Mass granted by Sankt Gallen mafia member +Cormac Murphy O'Connor (the guy who canvassed for Bergoglio at the 2013 fake conclave). As I hadn't converted yet and no priest suggested that confessing sins might be a good idea, it took 15 more years for those graces to flow. Long story a bit shorter, I started going down rabbit holes both worldly and ecclesiastical around 2015 and by 2018 was ready for the anticipated "big event". My business consultants natural skepticism fortunately saw right through Covid from the closing months of 2019 when it became increasingly obvious that it was being lined-up to be "the one". Fortunately my wife and sons listened to me, but sadly not my daughters.
No hand sanitizer, no tests, no distancing, no jabs NO WAY JOSE!
That's a great story! All conversion stories are fantastic. It's an adventure for sure!
I haven't donned a mask since my conversion, which led me unambiguously to the Latin Mass, to which I'd had no exposure to prior.
Technically it was a reversion--I was an "active parishioner," raising my kids in a very liberal, very protestantized novus ordo church, similar to the one I grew up in (no Rosary. no prayer life. weekly mass most of the time. Almost no confession. no attachment to or interest in any saints. didn't even know about Fatima). By the grace of God, the conversion happened before we would be pressured to jab, so we were spared from whatever is in those.
It is amazing to be on horseback in the Church Militant in these upside down blasphemous modern times.
I think you're absolutely right to point to 1517 v. 1958 as the beginning of the end.
I presume you're referring to Halloween of that year, when Luther formally donned the mantle of Iscariot... But, I'd actually back you up 911 days(!) to May 4, 1515, when Pope Leo X officially promulgated at Lateran Council V the "lawfulness" of interest-bearing loans (usury) for "charitable" purposes--the first time ANY form of interest/usury was deemed "not sinful" or permissible in the history of Holy Mother Church.
It's my opinion that Lateran V is the council wherein (likely anti-) Pope Paul VI's notorious "smoke of satan" first entered the Church.
My best guess is that this current (final?) stage began with Our Lady's 19th century pleas, starting with La Salette..
Leo XIII's vision (regarding the devil being untethered) birthed the Leonine prayers--meaning every Low Mass from 1884 to 1965 concluded with a dire warning about the tribulations afoot.
With Our Lady's Fatima pleas unheeded, the great chastisements/passion of the Bride of Christ/Satan's hideous bloody death knell under the heel of Our Lady/Whatever-you-want-to-call-this-most-recent-chapter really kicked into gear when the Sons of the Widow let Fat Man rip atop the center of Roman Catholic life in Japan in 1945.
From there, you have a direct line to the 1958 conclave funny business, which flows directly to Vatican II (and you know its fruit), etc.--all the while satan has been consolidating his grip on worldly power through his esoteric societies and false "religions."
Our consolation and our hope is Our Lady, who will continue to see us through these backward times. We already know the victor and the victory.
This is a very deep rabbit hole, but I’ve been to the bottom and I can honestly say it was well worth all the spent time.
