It really is the World v. The Church. Deception v. Truth.
All of it.
We truly live in the Church Militant.
We were warned by Our Lady at La Salette that these days would come. Pope Leo XIII was warned personally when he "overheard" Jesus and Satan in conversation.
Fatima. Padre Pio. Our Lady of Akita. There have been many others.
Subsidiarity isn't just the polar opposite of preemption (and thus, Communism). It's also far more palatable and popular to the average person (when explained and presented with examples).
Now, which one does "Traditionis Custodes" sound like? Subsidiarity or preemption?
Was Benedict XVI even the first 20th century pope sidelined to make room for anti-popes? Are you familiar with 1958 conclave irregularities and the Cardinal Siri thesis?
Hard to say. After Leo XIII had his vision, the prayer to St. Michael was read in churches after Mass for 60+ years. It fell out of favor around the time of V2, but is making a comeback.
I adore your work and your spirit and this message. I would contend that that's how the Apostles set up the Church structure as well, still kept in the Orthodox Church. I know this is off topic...
As in, "look what 12 human dudes managed to help establish that has lasted and grown for 2000 years, carried forward by ordinary men and women staying faithful to the work God gave them to do, even while being ignored and persecuted and told (lied to) that the enemy was too powerful to be resisted and fought."
Indigenous cultures, were decentralized forms of small scale government. But even saying that these tribes added up to millions of inhabitants on this continent. Tribes were self contained and basic governance was held within each band. When more consolidated efforts were needed they converged. And....always held yearly meetings to talk, socialize and consolidate tribal connections that were used as needed. Indigenous tribes in U.S became much more violent in the face of massive encroachment on the land that they had managed well until we appeared. These nature cultures show genetic presence here going back 17,000 years! They deserve being included in discussion of changes needed to bring about a more Peaceful and self sustaining way of life.
Though I am less in the camp of Judeo-Christian thought, and closer to the 'spiritual-naturalist' likes of Spinoza, Emerson, Jung, or Einstein ... at the very least, the metaphorical truth of what you are saying rings loud, clear, and true.
For those who are looking for secular angles on the truth God is revealing through Katherine, some of that scaffolding can be found in triangulating between brief wiki reads of Dunbar's number, emergence theory, fractal theory, and psychopathy.
For a couple of deeper dives relevant to my experience;
1 — 'Invented Traditions of Modern Japan' (edited by Stephen Vlastos). This is a good bookend for Chomsky and Herman's 'Manufacturing Consent, but with a greater emphasis on the dynamics of how the ruling class Industrialists of Meiji-era Japan (the emergence of Japan as a corporate nation-state, similar to Victorian England), methodically hollowed out or crushed traditional local communities, and displaced relatively autonomous humans with institutional cogs in the Mammon-Machine. Though there has never been a strong libertarian movement in Japan, there have been, and are now, back-to-the-land movements of moving away from the large-scale, urban, institutionalized concentrations of economic/political power... to local communities nestled in the more remote mountains or shores of Japan. Alas, through the nationalistic-narrative (and propaganda) of mainstream meda and 'education', and a typically Far Eastern culture of compliance ... institutions have effectively made its cogs either too infantilized to see the big picture, or too financially marginalized to become independent of the machine.
2 — 'Political Ponerology; The Science of Evil, Psychopathy, and the Origins of the Totalitarian State' (A. Lobaczewski). Triangulating between what is pointed out in the title is a pretty good hint as to what Lobaczewski is attempting to do. Although science may be a necessary tool in our emerging understanding of 'evil', I am less optimistic than Lobaczewski in believing science will be sufficient for identifying and combating evil, much less controlling it any more than there can be a 'science' of good ... different domains, different heuristics. Still, the book sheds light in corners I didn't even know existed, and verifies what other have long since pointed out ... that the psychopathic skeleton in the family closet and the dehumanization of the totalitarian state are fractals of one another.
Thank you again Katherine, for taking up the good fight long before the current public health crisis was created.
I am nearly finished reading a recent book by Michael Hudson, '...and forgive them their debts' Lending, Foreclosure and Redemption from Bronze Age Finance to The Jubilee Year', which does a nice job of contrasting the human "golden age" of peace and plenty in the ancient world that featured regular debt forgiveness events, and how and where those fell into disuse. They had included land distribution to the people and punitive taxes on the wealthiest, who seem always and everywhere to arise, consolidate and grow their personal power to the point of dissolution of their nations or empires. I very much enjoyed 'Ponerology' when I read it when it was first published.
Much thanks for the heads up aj. I immediately checked for the book on Amazon Japan, and found I can download it to my Kindle for Mac for free as part of my Amazon Prime membership. I'm mixed about feeding the beast by being a prime member, but will hope to fight it from within through the help of people of good will (like yourself) and good information.
I wish that instead of some of the cocktail parties Congress attends while they're up there in DC, they would (be required to) attend educational, encouraging talks like this, even a dinner speaker in nothing else.
Anyone heard of this?
Would our new America First group of 20 Patriots who got powerful concessions from Kevin McCarthy get him interested in this for the House?
Amazing post. Thank you Katherine. It's just what I needed to read after spending time with my brother, visiting from Massachusetts, quadrupled-jabbed and completely bought-in to the false narrative. I have been able to open the eyes of a few people that received one or two shots; my brother will not budge. He is literally hypnotized. I studied at the MIT in the 1980's, so my presentation of facts and figures went deep - in this case, nothing moved the needle, even today when more and more people are waking up. I continue to pray for my brother. Never stop telling the truth about the shots, even if it makes the audience livid. May God bless you Katherine and continue to guide you in your work. Peace.
Have you ever heard of Douglas Social Credit? DSC - not to be confused with the counterfeit CCP 'social credit' - was an application of Christian principles, including subsidiarity, to the financial, economic, and political spheres. It is, in fact, the system-wide antidote to the NWO (which is why the other side has now co-opted the term to mean the very opposite of what Major CH Douglas, the founder, intended). There is a new animated series on youtube which explores various aspects of DSC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfMJStzOBBk.
Thank you Katherine - we must work together, armed with the understanding we have been given, to create the existence we want, regardless of what the future holds.
Three years ago, I responded to the shocks being imposed by turning my life over to food production. It has been a journey of discovery, at times bleak, but redemptive, beautiful.
I write about these changes in my life, as well as the animals with whom I share it, with my most recent episode here:
Tremendous piece, Katherine. Been a Catholic since birth and never knew or heard the information imparted here today. What a boon of info. you and this Substack are turning out to be. Quite the 'Thought Promoter Extraordinaire' for all we critical thinkers out here. Thank-you for your fine work.
God bless you and your work.
This is a brilliant post!

One wonders also about Pope JP I
"Overheard"? Link?
The story is online. I think you will find it if you search the origin of the St. Michael prayer
Is this, http://stpaulcc.org/history-of-the-prayer-to-st-michael-the-archangel/ comparable to Martin Luther throwing an inkwell at the devil?

It's not at all off-topic.
I was thinking similar things this morning.
As in, "look what 12 human dudes managed to help establish that has lasted and grown for 2000 years, carried forward by ordinary men and women staying faithful to the work God gave them to do, even while being ignored and persecuted and told (lied to) that the enemy was too powerful to be resisted and fought."

Katherine, thanks for this great review of a most important topic. I just posted today my 1st Substack about the work of you and Sasha. https://georgewford.substack.com/p/the-illusion-that-is-the-pandemic?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
Good read Katherine.

I learn so much reading your stack. God bless you forever.
I wish that instead of some of the cocktail parties Congress attends while they're up there in DC, they would (be required to) attend educational, encouraging talks like this, even a dinner speaker in nothing else.
Anyone heard of this?
Would our new America First group of 20 Patriots who got powerful concessions from Kevin McCarthy get him interested in this for the House?
Or is this idea silly?
That’s a great find!

Love, solidarity and thanks.
Tremendous piece, Katherine. Been a Catholic since birth and never knew or heard the information imparted here today. What a boon of info. you and this Substack are turning out to be. Quite the 'Thought Promoter Extraordinaire' for all we critical thinkers out here. Thank-you for your fine work.
A society in which those who work the most and receive the least in return are the most viciously resented and hated, this is a slave society.
Amen, Amen! Thank you, Katherine. God bless and keep you.
Thank you as always! Massive W O W! for this one!
