He is unmarried.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I have just returned from a fascinating and alarming symposium on the Secret Symbolism in Sacred Art which was held at the proto Cathedral of the Sacred Society of St Philibustre. \u00a0The proto Cathedral (which is dedicated to St Euphemia of the Five Wounds), is located in the basement of the home of our Archpriest, the Most Reverend Fr. Desiderata Arnaz, at 147a Magnolia Grove, Rocky Creek, Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>The Archpriest\u2019s wife, Lucille, conducted the seminar, and began the discussions by showing us the disturbing film, <em>Rape of the Soul<\/em>. I am permitted to refer you to a clip from that film <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/AdministratorCJ#p\/a\/u\/1\/kmGKjUgqhg8\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>. Mrs. Arnaz (nee Ball) is very well qualified to lead such symposia as she holds a degree in home economics from Buckboard Bible College. During the intensive study which led to the awarding of her degree, Mrs Arnaz also took a course in Art Appreciation. Among her other credits, Mrs. Arnaz has exercised a leadership role in the arts and crafts portion of our annual summer Vacation Bible School, which co-incided with the Symposium on Symbolism in Catholic Art.<\/p>\n<p>It appears from this important and earth quaking film, that \u2018Catholic\u2019 art is loaded with hidden images of a highly erotic and satanic nature. Modesty forbids me to discuss these things in more detail, but suffice it to say that woven through many famous paintings and other works of art by \u2018Catholic\u2019 artists you will find occult imagery, Jewish \u2018Kabbalah\u2019 symbolism, foul language, sexual signals, and obscure references to the buttoned maniple.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since high school I have been convinced that the number 666 is woven into our popular culture in many sinister and secretive ways. I discovered this one morning as I was enjoying breakfast with my Uncle Floyd at Denny\u2019s. On the bottle of HP sauce there is a picture of the British Houses of Parliament designed by the freemason Giles Gilbert Scott. (Scott is related not only to the ill fated explorer Admiral Scott\u2013who once studied astrology\u2013but also to \u2018Scotty\u2019 from the famous New Age television \u2018science fiction\u2019 program Star Trek, and the famous writer of children\u2019s books F. Scott Fitzgerald. In goes without saying that through the Fitzgeralds he is also therefore related to the Kennedy family) Well, embedded in the bar code on this bottle of HP Sauce, was the number 666, thus linking Satan directly to the entire British establishment) The number was upside down and one of the numbers was missing, but I realized instantly that the reason for that was an intentional attempt to disguise the number even further. That the same disgusting material has been infiltrated into the Catholic Church does not surprise me.<\/p>\n<p>For some time now I have been in a running debate with some so-called Catholics who worship using the modernistic Tridentine Rite. In my paper, \u2018Trent and Trenton\u2019 I have shown that the so called \u2018Council of Trent\u2019 which some historians say happened in the sixteenth century, in fact took place in a Holiday Inn in Trenton, New Jersey in October of 1958. Since then the \u2018Tridentine Catholics\u2019 have been pressuring the Catholic Church to allow their particular modernistic form of worship which they pretend is ancient. The fascinating connection between the \u2018Trenton Church\u2019 and the development of the Trident Missile system has been shown to have international implications. New Jersey crime families, the military industrial complex, the Freemasons, vegetarians and gun control lobbyists have infiltrated to the highest levels of the Vatican through the \u2018Tridentine Missal\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>They seem obstinate in their heresy, and will not listen to reason. I have tried many times to engage them in gentle dialogue in order to show them the beauty, antiquity and intrinsic superiority of the Western Ambrosianic Rite (non collegian) but they still insist that the innovation of the buttoned maniple is still valid, when all the scholarship clearly shows that the be-ribboned maniple is the true garment of antiquity. Other important debates, such as the validity of the liturgical use and spelling of \u2018Domino\u2019s\u2019 (sacrilegiously used to name a Pizza pie company) are adroitly avoided by them.\u00a0the Chancellor of the Sacred Society of St Philibustre, Major Donald Rickles (ret\u2019d).\u00a0says this is because they will not enter a fight they know they will lose.<\/p>\n<p>I did not have the opportunity to bring up the question at Mrs Arnaz\u2019 symposium because I had to leave early to prepare the targets for the Annual Childrens\u2019 Riflery competition and Rattlesnake Barbecue with which we always conclude our Vacation Bible School. However, I found it very interesting indeed when I was viewing film footage of the World Trade Center collapse, that hidden within the clouds of ash and smoke there was a clear image of a priest\u2019s arm wearing a buttoned maniple. Could anything be more obvious of Our Lord\u2019s displeasure? I think not. I shared this insight with\u00a0\u00a0Major Rickles while we were barbecuing the rattlesnake kebabs.<\/p>\n<p>The Major was fascinated and told me that recent investigations have indicated that not only were the 9\/11 \u2018attacks\u2019 orchestrated by the Bush family, but George Bush Snr. and Bill Clinton worked together on the project while attending the secret, elitist camp called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/bg1.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bohemian Grove<\/a>. It turns out that a certain Bill Clinton was actually in Boston on the day of the attacks and was in the airport when the planes disappeared from the radar. It has also been discovered that Mrs. Clinton made three phone calls that morning to her landscape gardeners\u2013a company that openly advertises that they \u2018plant bushes.\u2019 No doubt this is a cover for a CIA black ops outfit.<\/p>\n<p>There will be more on the disturbing discoveries in our next issue.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest blogger, Duane Mandible is a contributing editor to\u00a0The Truth Hurts, a bi-monthly journal of politics, economics and opinion.
