+ PAX   Die Finsternis hat Ihn nicht erfasst 24    Dezember 2025   Von Anfang an gab es Widerstand gegen die göttliche Wahrheit, zuerst unter den Engeln und dann unter den Menschen.Für die Engel gibt es keine Umkehr. Ihre Natur ist zu vollkommen, als dass sie umkehren könnten.   Die Menschen sind jedoch nicht so. Sie haben sich durch Ungehorsam gegen Gott aufgelehnt, von Luzifer angestiftet, und dennoch ist es möglich umzukehren, oder besser gesagt, es ist möglich, Gegenstand

+ PAX   Darkness did not receive Him                                                                                       December 24, 2025   From the beginning, opposition to divine truth manifested itself, first among the angels, and then among men.   For the angels, there is no possibility of repentance or reversal. Their nature is too perfect for them to be able to turn back.   Men, however, are not so constituted. They rebelled against God through disobedience, having b

by H.E. Bp. Thomas Aquinas O.S.B. “Filia mea modo defuncta est…” “… non est enim mórtua puella, sed dormit…” “Et deridebant eum.”   Holy Church seems dead at this moment. She has been invaded by the modernists who have taken the key positions. The predictions and plans of Freemasonry seem to have triumphed. Freemasonry wanted a pope who would hold the ideas of Freemasonry. It did not want a Masonic pope—this could be dangerous for them—but a pope with their ideas would be ide

Just as God gave to Adam, in the person of Eve, a helper similar to himself, so too God gave to the new Adam (Jesus Christ), Mary, the new Eve, as a helper similar to Him. The Most Holy Virgin Mary is therefore the helper similar to Our Lord: adjutorium simile sibi  (Gen. 2:18), who shares in the work of Redemption as taught by the Magisterium of the Church.   The Church has gathered the arguments of the Fathers and Doctors, and has already spoken on this prerogative on more
