1. Technologies.
Considering the advance in computer technologies and how governments, like the US, can use them for any purpose, good or bad, we can believe Presidential elections can be won or lost just by hacking the computers used for elections. No sweat.
Thus elections had become completely useless. The government in power can decide elections by just pressing a bottom. They had done more difficult things than just winning elections. They can assassinate their own President and blow up two of their towers killing thousands; they can overthrow other governments and kill heads of states…….and get away with it. Rigging elections is no sweat. It is a matter of what is more financially beneficial to the higher ups.
2. Divine Providence.
There is a spiritual reality that overrides all those fearful human machinations. And that is Divine Providence. This is the truth that states that it is God Who decides everything that happens in this world, like the election of a President. It is God who choses who will be the President of a nation; not the electorate nor the cheaters. Platforms, geniuses, talents, ads, expenditures and endorsements do not help a bit. Though the election, the counting and the proclamations can be rigged, it is God who has the last say. All human efforts exerted has no effect on the outcome of an election. Though most men think it does. God, alone, against all human odds, decides the outcome of this little event in human history.
How does God intervene? God choses what will benefit the Church in the locality. God will choose a good man as president as a blessing for a Church that is faithful to Him. As a consequence, all who are not part of the Church will benefit from that blessing, too; both the good and the bad. This is the advantage of living with Catholics. They share with the blessings of the Church even if they are not part of the Church.
On the other hand, if the Church is unfaithful to God, then God will give that nation a bad president, firstly, for the chastisement of the Church. The non-Catholics will, also, share with this chastisement (sort of a punishment) and unfortunately the few good will also suffer. This would happen precisely because there are too few good Catholics to prevent the chastisement.
3. An example.
God was head of His People and treated the Chosen People this way; when they are faithful to God, God gave them holy and capable kings. If they were unfaithful, God would give them bad kings. Knowing this, the Chosen People never held elections. With God running the whole show with Divine Providence, it would be futile to hold elections.
But when the Chosen People insisted on electing their own head in the time of King Saul, they got into all kinds of trouble. That is why the whole world is in trouble, loving to spend time in futilities due to their ignorance of God’s ways, like holding debates. We are mostly atheists.
4. God’s strange ways.
God’s ways are not man’s ways. The entire election process is man’s ways. God’s ways is that He just chose who would be president at the last second; either as a reward to a believing nation or a chastisement for an unbelieving nation.
Sometimes, he changes His mind in mid way. Let’s take the example of King Josiah. God gave the people a holy and good King. The nation progressed during his reign. The Priests and the people were faithful. And King Josiah won all his battles. Then the priests became unfaithful and the people followed suit.
Because of this God willed that King Josiah die in battle. He was too good for the people. And the people got King Jeroboam a bad and incompetent king who ruled his people tyrannically; which they deserved. That is how God acts. He can choose a President if the Church is faithful. And if the Church suddenly becomes unfaithful, God can immediately remove the good president and give a bad president, instead. No new election needed. Let’s take an example.
God chose a Catholic president, John Kennedy, for the US. He was a good President, though with some defects like all men. His programs of government were good. The US was just being shown a lesson: that a Catholic makes a good president. The having been learned, God removed Kennedy, later his brother Bobby and much later his own son John…..all probable candidates for the same office. The Kennedy’s were too good for unbelieving America; so God allows the Judasses, the covetous rich tycoons, to assassinate him and gives them another President who plunged America into a war, with thousands of Catholic soldiers uselessly dying, thousands of Vietnamese dying while the US business men earning a fortune in the war and the President implicated in the assassination.
5. ‘They took away four of my Presidents….(with apologies to Jesse Ventura.) I existed under fourteen Presidents. Four were removed by a permissive act of Providence. Obviously, God allowed them to be removed because God saw that both the nation and the Church did not deserve them. That the nation and the Church deserved more a chastisement rather than a blessing. The super typhoon ‘Haiyan’ was no blessing. It was a chastisement, first to the Catholic Church and secondly to the nation for their infidelity to God. St. Alphonsus Liguori said so.
Many will not agree with this doctrine on Divine Providence and might say we have other opinions. This is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of solid theological doctrine, The case of Marcos is almost identical in details with the case of Kennedy. Obviously showing that both the nation and the Church did not deserve a good leader. Both ought to be chastised. So God took them away from serving an unfaithful people.
To remove a head of state from office is a grievous sin condemned as early as the 18th Century by the Catholic Church. Only God can do that, not man.
6. Conclusion.
The decay of a nation can be seen in the decadence of its Presidents. God gives a nation the leader it deserves; the nation does not really elects its leaders. God gives them the leader they deserve. If a nation wants a good leader, the nation must be good. If the nation is bad because they practice, for example, abortion and same sex marriage, then no matter what they do, God will give them a bad leader who will lead them further to greater badness.
If a nation is bad and, therefore, deserves the chastisement of having a bad leader……how did they become bad? They became bad because the people who were supposed to teach them how to be good, the Catholic Cardinals, bishops and priests did not teach them to be good. How come? Because they, themselves, do not know how to become good. Not knowing how to become good, the cardinals, bishops and priests have become bad. Thus all the people around them, had become bad.
If the cardinals, bishops and priests had become bad……which Our Lady described as what is going on right now…..then the possibility is great that God will give them a Pope that they deserve…..a bad Pope. And that is what we have today.
O.K. It is not the Pope’s fault. It is the fault of the cardinals, bishops and priests. Being bad, they will get the Pope that they deserve. Unfortunately, Pope Francis was one of those bad cardinals, bishop and priest before. So God did not have to look far for the person He would chose to give the present unfaithful church the head it deserves. God just chose from among the unfaithful who were all over anyway.
A last chance! When everything is going wrong, when all nations are evil and headed by evil head of states because the Church is unfaithful and, therefore, deservedly headed by an unfaithful Pope…….what will happen next?
Everything will suddenly calm down. Suddenly, decent head of states will begin to rule. And one good Pope will rise (not Pope Francis)…….all of these to give the whole world a last chance to think things over and see perfectly where everyone went wrong and repent for their sins against God. Then what? Well, concentrate first in knowing where you went wrong and repent for those sins.
