> Let us pray also for the perfidious Jews: that our God and Lord would remove the veil from their hearts: that they also may acknowledge our Lord Jesus Christ.
> Almighty and everlasting God, who drivest not away from Thy mercy even the perfidious Jews: hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people: that, acknowledging the light of Thy truth, which is Christ, they may be rescued from their darkness.
> Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
> R. Amen.
This prayer has been suppressed by the Vatican 2 church as far as I'm aware; the word "perfidious" means: "Guilty of perfidy; violating good faith or vows; false to trust or confidence reposed; treacherous; faithless".
Hence it would seem to be a modern error to consider the Jewish people as "faithful", from a traditional Christian perspective? Yet naturally no excessive and additional conflict should be intended beyond that which exists by nature of the continued rejection of Jesus as Messiah.
one I was wondering about is if we are actually in the end times because support for some of these heresies seems to be collapsing in the next generations (in favor of embracing an exclusive "Christian" view of some sort or rejecting religion entirely), so does that mean Jewish anti-Christs might be making some last ditch effort to stand against either Christianity or the non-Christians who oppose Judaism?
another kind of tangent is I was wondering if any of our resident "autists" have compiled a bunch of news stories showing the statements of the current Vatican and related "authorities" on these kinds of topics, for example I see a bunch of stories like this (these are articles from "NovusOrdoWatch" which is sede):
"‘Archbishop’ of Sydney: To Say the Jews Are No Longer God’s Chosen People is HERESY!"
"Bergoglio-Francis: Jews Still God’s Chosen People"
"‘Cardinal’ Dolan: Christ’s New Covenant Exists Side-By-Side with Jewish Old Covenant!"
Weve been in them since Christ rose from the dead. The collapse of Modernism and its last gasps in the Vatican is more likely a sign we are entering a new age of Christian revival, possibly in the midst of everyone else getting more wicked. I think we will see a return to Tradition in the Catholic Church and possibly a mending of the eastern schism in the near future, but in the secular space, things will get more explicitly hostile to Christianity, and Protestantism will continue to fraction along the lines of Judaised mainstream evangelicalism while the more liberal sects abandon the pretense of Christianity altogether, and the minority of Protestants who actually have any understanding of Christianity will simply rejoin the Church.
Sedevacantism if true really seems to have gone on too long and would seemingly be near an end almost of necessity. Wasn't the Babylonian captivity 70 years? There are questions of legitimacy of orders that would become even more serious of sedevacantism's true and we keep going without a pope (the last of the known Pius XII bishops died out a couple years ago).
So we are either set up for the end times, with the Vatican being stacked with Francis-appointed "cardinals", or for things to crash and then rebound back to some kind of "normality" more like there was in 1958 (I guess I could see it go either way).
I have wondered if in the end times, the modernist liberals might be polarized to come together out of the belief they push that "everyone is part of one religious one family", which in turn would push "conservative Christians" to all work out their differences and to come under the pope (orthodox, protestants), for one last united stand of Christians versus non-Christians. That was just a personal speculation though.
Ironically, most of those are from developing nations, so stacking the Cardinals with them might blow up in the face of Modernism. Such nations may tend toward the economic socialism favored by the modernists, but they also tend to be staunch Nationalist and also tend to look unfavorably toward the religious pluralism that underlies modernism. Its best to pray for them so they make the right decision when selecting the next Pope, because God will give us a good Pope if we pray for one (and obviously if the majority of Catholics get their lives in order and stop being worldly)
