25th Jan 22 - Burns's Night

Fr dear Fr: By the way, did the Early Christians have a solution to all the cold secular paganism and anarchic orgiastic pluralism around them in the major cities and sea ports of the Roman empire or did they simply acquiesce in it all?  

A dream to share with this reader might be an apposite teaching device. The dream is authentic and produced a spin off of some interesting though haunting poetry:

A dark dream filtered through a perennial strife: I am dreaming from 2019 in my sleep and I am transported to Rome but it is future time. There I am following a tour guide called C who is leading a group of tourists around some old cemeteries in the city, and he points out to some graves of German cardinals and makes disparaging remarks about the men lying under these stone mausolea - at least the Germans remember their cardinals. But I speak up from the tour group and say that in my experience the German cardinals were fine men and fine theologians all and each to a man. C fluffs off in a huff. But I lead the group of students, mostly American secular students off into a park like the Villa Pincio in the centre of the city, and there approach the climbing frames for young people, and then C appears again like a bad penny that does not go away, and he signals to us to come over as a group and look through the old ruins of the Roman Empire in the centre of the city by the park which we all do, and then in  grandiose gesture to the students he invites them to come and have a drink in his private club close to the centre. But when we all went in and had some drinks in this grande palais style gentlemen's club we noticed that it was full of Italian politicians and the men of the Senate and the drapes on the walls were golden but concealing old symbols that were slightly dark and masonic from P2. Then C invited us out to another swishier club further out near the outskirts of the city and this was larger and even more ornate, where he introduced us to the drinking bar but where we noticed that a group of senior students of a British seminary were located and drinking much. Here the setting was now more deeply luxurious but the hidden symbols which I gently and secretly uncovered were also highly masonic. Then finally C invited us all out of the city to the walls where outside the walls and getting further and further out from the papacy and papal communion in the center, despite the many verbiose and loud avowels of the students of the Venerable British seminary from outside of town, and this was a very largeish fine club indeed, over which presided the Duke of Earl and with him, concealed behind a stage was a grey Lord Lucifer finally revealed in his deep shadow form, in his intellectual realities. But it was too late for the 3 grey bishops who had now joined this club and were entrapped through their love of greyness and politics and their love of fine things and luxuries. Game over. Gloriathon the guardian angel taking me through this dream, points out that the dream is dark but real - negative and nasty but still accurate - I have been too trusting of superiors and especially of grey double dealing ones like C who are thoroughly compromised because absolute power always and everywhere corrupts absolutely - there are no exceptions to this rule, not even St Gallen cardinals are exceptions - all men are weak. I wake up - it is a warning dream for the bishops and seminarians of UK sems in all their fineries and feathers. Very deep dream. Very deep warning, touching even me in all my protestations to have avoided the spirit of the grey dragon in the tutoring sector of some seminaries and monasteries. I did not entirely avoid the compromises of grey Heythrop style greyness since when I first came to the city I was never in official garb or clergyman uniform, wearing the uniform of the Heythrop Faculty - a grey striped suit and a red tie -  and not all that enthusiastic for the old faith of my peasant French ancestors inter alia. C died a week after this dream, and I was instructed by Gloriathon to warn him privately of his impending doom - He would die unexpectedly on the 1st of September, the feast of the two wives of King David.

SD commentarium - This is not a really genuine supernatural dream, but rather a warning from the dark world of the preternatural zone of the lower Hades of Infernity, so much of it must be interpreted accordingly, and not all of it naturally will be fulfilled in the future nor will it all come round as a reality, much depends on the changing behaviour of the subjects mentioned and included in it - the seminarians could all turn out to be brave missionaries like the Campion jesuit padres of former times, and the 3 grey bishops included could also change their ways and find some solace in the pages of a spiritual reading of the bible, so much depends on other factors. So it is a preternatural dream, largely built on the past. Also in the dream, the dark tribunes and overlords of Infernity do not have a high opinion of the freemasons nor of Italian politicians, since they hold them to be what the marxists in those soft underbelly countries in the cold war of the old USSR used to call "those western but useful idiots", but there are signs now more and more of a bridge or two being built by the angelic new pope between the catholics and the freemasons. Let us hope so.  

Cold civilisations produce cold man-made religions, and masonry is no exception, though many of the men within understandably claim that they are descended from the poor hapless knights of the Templars after the religious military order was officially suppressed by the French king and the French popes of the time, and which knights then made off into exile in these islands, seeking anonymity in another world, though of the great gold reserves of the poor knights of the Temple of Solomon nothing was thereafter discovered - all was hidden, nothing maybe remains above ground. Cold religions can look quite hot at first, like the orgiastic riots of cults in the Roman empire, though again we see them through Sixties eyes when all the world was filled with a new bold empiricism. But a coldness soon enters in, as human beings and young priestesses are treated like objects and throwaway disposables. It was against this coldness at the heart of the empire, that St Peter the Fisherman from the Sea of Tiberias first came up with a solution that was quite unique and one that cold civilisations in the 1600s could never understand - In those very early years of the Christian presence in Rome, each Christian home was instructed by St Peter to be adorned with an image of the Saviour Jesus and this image was to be venerated in those households that belonged to the Early Christians - one of the first official acts of the new pontiff in the new diocese of Rome sometime between 33 and 64 AD (see The Reg, I, 1,1).
