“Then there will be an internal clash within the Church, and this
internal shock will produce one of the greatest upheavals in the history
of mankind.”
Twenty-five years ago the possibility of such a clash would have
been considered so remote that it would dispense any further analysis.
Today we are in the middle of that very a clash between two
irreconcilable positions, where the heterodox one has, alas!, the upper
ground and dares to impose the presence of all sinful forms of non
marital unions, homosexual unions included, in a World Meeting of
Families organized by a dicastery of the Holy See, and where the main
floor is given to someone who publicly works for the recognition of
those unions by the Church.
But here we are to say to the Church authorities and to say to the
whole world that we simply do not accept the implementation of the
homosexual agenda in the Church, that will never accept that Holy
Communion will be given to people living publicly more uxorio in
adulterous unions and that we will fight until the last drop of our
blood to protect our children from moral corruption by the imposition
of gender ideology in the schools or during catechism classes!
We know that many high rank authorities of the Church and many
bishops who have remained rather silent until now will not betray
their duties as Shepherds of the flock and will at the end side with the
faithful laity in the coming struggle. Therefore, we are convinced that
the internal shock foresaw by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira will take place
and will indeed produce one of the greatest upheavals of our history.
On the occasion of the 2017 Rome Life Forum, organized by our
friend John Smeaton, and just some months before his passing away
surrounded by the sympathy of millions of Catholics, Cardinal Carlo
Caffarra gave this apocalyptic vision of the fight between the culture
of the truth and the culture of the lie in our days:

Now, the same can also be said about Christians in other countries
ruled by a Muslim majority, who also suffer from persecution whether
in Africa, in Pakistan or in Indonesia.
Another example of perseverance amid persecution had been given
to us by underground Catholics in China.
They refuse the deal offered by the Communist authorities, i.e. to
obtain a mockery of freedom of religion by recognizing as legitimate a
schismatic Patriotic Church controlled by the atheist State
Administration for Religious Affairs.
“There is no affiliate relationship between our country’s religions
and foreign religions,” wrote last week Wang Zuoan, director of that
administration, in an article to the bi-monthly Communist Party
theoretical journal Qiushi.
“Religion in China has to follow the principle of ‘Sinification’
under the guidance of the party,” he added.
Underground Chinese Catholics simply refuse that their bishops be
elected by atheist civil servants of the communist regime. Their
fidelity to the universal primacy of the Pope is all the more touching
since, paradoxically, they have to resist to the policy of approximation
between the Vatican and Beijing promoted by the very Pope they
refuse to betray.
In a “Painful Appeal” posted on his blog in August 2016, just before
the section titled, “Agreement Acceptance and Conscientious
Objection. Fidelity to the Pope Despite the Pope,” the veteran cardinal
Joseph Zen, bishop emeritus of Hong Kong wrote the following:
“I remember an expression that appeared long ago on the Internet,
on a Catholic site in China: ‘After so many years, our enemies have
not yet been able to make us die. Now we must die at the hand of our
Father. All right then, let’s die!”

Isn’t this the most touching expression of a deep faith? Can God be
unmoved by such faith and not give the world another chance on
account of that faith? The situation is not very different in other
communist countries, like North Korea, Laos, Vietnam and Cuba,
where Catholics are also giving a similar testimony of their Faith.
I will not speak about the rekindling of the Faith in America,
because all of you are faithful and enthusiastic subscribers to the
Catholic Voice or readers of LifeSiteNews and National Catholic
Register. Therefore you know what is going on there. Plus you will
hear Robert Royal after me.
But just to give you a little flavour of the religiosity of our
American brothers in the faith, I ask you just one question: Do you
have an idea of how many locations offer Perpetual Adoration in the
United States?
Eight hundred and fourteen! Considering that there are 177
territorial archdioceses and dioceses in the US, that makes an average
of 4.6 locations per diocese !
Allow me, however, to bring to your attention another example. The
case of our brothers in the faith of Latin America, who are facing a
more insidious persecution than Chinese or Middle East Catholics, i.e.
the dictatorship of relativism disguised under the veils of a “cultural
revolution.” Their case is particularly relevant here, because it deals
with the defence, not of religious dogmas as such, but of their
consequences regarding the family, the sacredness of human life and
the right of parents to educate their children.
Indeed, left-wing liberal governments with the support of NGOs
financed by international private organisations, like Rockefeller’s
Population Council or George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, are
pushing ahead an agenda to strip Latin America from its Christian past
and character. However, a growing “light blue wave” of devout and
9
mostly Marian faithful are standing up to the fight and have so far
being victorious.
I will explain later why this huge movement of resistance is being
called “blue wave”, but it suffices for now to learn that George Soros
himself has acknowledged that his cronies are losing the battle in that
region. In a tweet published September last year, he bemoaned the
following: “A false narrative has taken root in Latin America that's
threatening the rights of LGBTI people and women” with a link to an
article by Michelle Gallo in the very site of Open Society headed:
“‘Gender Ideology’ Is a Fiction That Could Do Real Harm”. All
you here perfectly know how fictional gender ideology and gender
agenda are! As you know, they are pure inventions of our bigot
minds… What is interesting is that the author admits that this
supposedly “false narrative of gender ideology” is “gaining
momentum”. “Last year in Colombia, for example,” she mourns, “a
campaign against gender ideology contributed to the rejection of a
peace agreement struck between the Colombian government and the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia”. Further she laments that
“just weeks after the campaign began in Colombia, protests against
same-sex marriage took place in Mexico. In Peru, meanwhile, there
were protests against the inclusion of sexuality and gender identity
education in schools”.
And she concludes: “If those who support human rights don’t stand
up now, and if gender ideology continues to spread across the region
in 2018, it is likely that the gains made by women and LGBTI people
in recent years will be under threat.”
I am very happy and proud to tell you that her prophecy of doom
has proven right in the recent months!

Just to give you a taste of what that feminist journalist refers to,
allow me to give some details about the strength of the opposition
raised up in Peru against gender ideology in the schools.
The former Peruvian minister of Education of two successive
governments, Jaime Saavedra, now the World Bank’s senior director
of Education, took advantage of a reform of the educational system in
2013 to sneak in gender studies in the new curriculum, including that
of primary schools, applicable from 2017 on.
“We want our children to interiorize gender equality,” declared the
minister to the press. “We have to be tolerant and respectful before
any sexual orientation,” he stressed.
In a tutorial guide for school children aged between 6 and 12, Little
Red Riding Hood becomes a boy, and is proposed as pedagogic
material Oliver Button is a Sissy -- a story of a boy who is teased
because he likes to do “girls” activities, but who ends up earning the
admiration of this parents and classmates by winning a dancing talent
contest.
As a reaction, a group of parents created in December 26, 2026, in
Lima, the movement Con mis hijos no te metas (Don’t mess with my
kids).
The movement has organized so far 6 rallies in the capital Lima, and
more than 20 decentralized rallies all over Peru.
One held on March 4, 2017, rallied more than 2 million people
nationwide. The success was such that the successor of Mr Saavedra
in the ministry of Education had to resign, even though her sacking
was explained as a result of her mishandling of a teachers’ strike.
Later on the same organization collaborated with the rallies against
abortion (this year was the sixth edition) with the very same success.

is actually a rather dark green and not your beautiful light green –
because the feminists adopted that colour many years ago.
You understand better the full symbolic meaning of the light blue
colour if you consider that in Spanish, and actually in all Latin
languages, we use the same word to refer to the sky and to Heaven:
cielo, of which celeste, i.e. the light blue colour is a derivative.
So, “Light Blue wave” has the connotation of a “heavenly wave”
and also of a “Marian wave”, because many people associate that
colour with Our Lady of Luján, patroness of Argentina.
Even though the Catholic hierarchy didn’t want to get directly
involved in the debate, the issue of abortion revealed the depth of the
religious divide in the country, leading to a religious clash between
Catholics and atheists.
This religious confrontation became quite clear some years ago, on
the occasion of the National Women's Encounters, held annually in
different cities, gathering all kind of radical-left, feminist and pro-
choice groups advocating abortion and homosexual marriage.
Since 2010, at the march that concludes their meeting, groups of
radical feminists, many of whom topless, systematically attack the
local cathedral shouting slogans against the Catholic Church.
Groups of young Catholic organize a prayer gathering inside the
cathedral and, as soon as the feminists approach, they place
themselves in the stairs before the building to prevent the feminist to
enter or damage the property.
The religious, specifically anti-Catholic hatred that moves the
radical feminist and pro-abortionist groups became patent during a
recent rally in favour of the abortion bill when one their leaders read a
piece of blasphemous poetry that I would have preferred not to read
before you and, particularly, in front of a statue of Our Lady.

Sorry for having shocked you, (particularly you, ladies), but I think
that we must be aware of what is really going on in the debate around
abortion and homosexuality.
While our religious leaders don’t want to be involved in the
discussion, pretending that, for senseless strategical reasons, it is
better to approach the issues at stake from a sociological, juridical or
