1. Two cities.
There are two cities that will always be in conflict; The City of God and the City of man.
The city of God lives in obedience to God’s commands, both as found in the Old and New Testaments.
The city of man is in obedience to all of man’s desires for worldly pleasures and ambitions.
You cannot love both cities nor live in both. You will love one and hate the other. God is the life of the City of God. Satan is the prince of the City of man.
2. The City of God is the Catholic Church established by Christ and which can be recognized as having the four visible signs found in the Nicene Creed, whose entrance and gate is narrow.
The Catholic Church is the City of God in…. but not of the City of man. Though it is in the world it is not of the world. It should have nothing identical with the world; so that love for this City of man is enmity with the City of God.
Since the City of man is made up of those who love the world, they cannot love the world without having an aversion or hatred of God.
3. The City of man was begun by Adam and Eve.
Though Adam and Eve were placed in Paradise to begin the City of God, by their fall they started the City of man instead. Christ had to come and become man to undo what Adam and Eve did; then Christ founded the City of God through the apostles with Peter as its head. The City of man, having Satan as its prince have three degrees of evilness.
The first degree of evilness is that its inhabitants are doing what they want, contrary to what God wants. Its motto is ‘my will be done,’ ‘not God’s will be done.’ By loving its own will, St. Augustine wrote, it has to have aversion to God’s Will. It is the very sin of Adam and Eve, who knowing very well God’s Will chose their own will in disobedience to God’s command.
Every single desire is called ‘rights’, which no one has a right to deny them. It is the main attraction of migrants towards the US, that it is a place where you can get what you want. Its products satisfies the cravings of men around the world. Its image is a man-made heaven here on earth.
Even if the inhabitants of the City of man do good things, it is not because it is God’s Will but because it is their will. They pray, not because it is God’s Will but because it is their own will; which makes the act, nevertheless, sinful, St. Augustine wrote.
The second degree of evilness of the City of man is that it imposes the evil it wants on others. If they want to commit adultery, they want everybody else to commit adultery. If they want same sex marriage to be acceptable, they want everybody else to accept same sex marriage. If they want to be president, they will prevent everybody else to be president. If they want communism, they want the whole world to be communist. If they want to believe a lie, they want everybody else to believe the same lies. When they want to disobey God’s commands, they want everybody else to disobey God’s command. If they want to go down to hell, they will drag down to hell everybody else If they want to commit national suicide, they will provoke Russia into a third world war and drag the whole world into a communal suicide. If they love their heresy, they will impose that same heresy on all others.
The third degree of evilness in the City of man is that they kill those who are impediments to getting what it wants. Babies are impediments to their enjoying fully the pleasures of this life because babies are burdens….so abort them. Old people are impossible to take care…..so euthanize them. President Kennedy will be an impediment for the rich tycoons from getting more riches so assassinate him. Justice Scalia is preventing rich criminals from getting away with murder, so murder him with a pillow over his face and an injection through the heart. The new president will stop the administration from enriching themselves while making the nation a pauper, so assassinate him or impeach him even before he is inaugurated; instead of impeaching a president who ruled for two terms without being an American citizen.
Has the world gone crazy? No. It is the normal thing in the City of man. Since its prince is Lucifer, it is a City of liars like the evil, a City of killers like the tribe of Cain. It is a City of forced labor like the tower of Babel, a replica of which is in Europe where its officers hold office.
4. Pope Francis joins the City of man.
Pope Francis and his spokesmen had made it clear that everything must be new and up to date. The Old Catholic religion had been described as narrow, constricted, lifeless and he used other derogatory adjectives. See Pope Francis’ Book of Insults.
All his teachings are not taken from Scriptures and the Tradition of the Church, Neither from the Fathers and the Doctors of the Church. Not even from the writings of St Robert Bellarmine, a Jesuit doctor of the Church. I have shown how Pope Francis did not have not even one of the 15 Marks of the true Catholic Church listed by St. Robert Bellarmine upon whose work ‘Lumen Gentium is based. As such the Vatican Church which he leads cannot be described as the City of God.
But the Vatican Church is surely the City of man seeing its great popularity with the men of the City. Every inhabitant of the City of man loves him. The Pope praises them and have great admiration for them. He even campaigns for them in elections.
The main teachings of Pope Francis is based on what he wants and they are not based on the Will of God. Pope Francis wants to help a relative who has remarried and wants her adulterous marriage validated by the Church, so Pope Francis uses a Bishop’s Synod to have remarried couples have their adulterous marriage validated by the Church and receive Holy Communion. Is this the teaching of Christ and the Church? No. The 6th and 9th commandment of God prohibit this. And communion for those in mortal sin is absolutely prohibited prior to repentance. So, where did Pope Francis get this teaching? Its what he likes. He is promulgating the things that he wants and not the teachings of God.
His teachings have the element of a lie. He said that atheist can go to heaven. No. Christ said they cannot; ‘he who does not believe are already condemned.
This is the first mark of a member of the City of man.
Secondly, he is imposing his personal ideas by force on most of the Bishops. He even imposed his above error on his Anglican friend Parker who wanted to be a Catholic. Prevented by Pope Francis who said Parker can be saved without being a Catholic while remaining a Lutheran, Parker suddenly died in a motor cycle accident. Guess where he is. And whose fault is he there.
New appointed bishops are called to Rome (a practice never done before) to inform them to follow his desires. His papal visits on good Catholics countries like Japan, Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, etc… were meant to threaten bishops to tow the Vatican line of allowing remarried to receive Holy Communion. Bishop’s conferences are pressured to think Bergoglian.
Thirdly. Those who are impediments to the Bergoglian line of thought are fired; if they are an order, they are suppressed. Or they are given indoctrination on aberosexual ideas to corrupt their minds. This is worse than killing the body. It is killing the soul. And don’t ever send the Pope a ‘dubia.’ He might have you burnt at the stake or at least treat you as a rag.
The City of man has its own religion. It is a conglomeration of all pagan religions whose gods is Lucifer. It is called the one world religion. And its main propagator is Pope Francis, officially appointed by the United Nation who is pushing it forward to be the right arm of the new world order; whose founder is, also, the father of lies.
5. So where is the City of God?
St. Augustine very clearly described it in his work. Master that work and it won’t be difficult to find it. The Nicene Creed described its four visible signs. Get those four signs and begin knocking at the doors of your parishes and see if they have those signs. Or the extensively defined 15 Marks of the true Church by St. Robert Bellarmine. Just get half of those signs; like 13 signs and see if your diocese have them. I tried those 15 signs on the Vatican and Pope Francis did not even have the first sign. It was useless to look if the Vatican had the second, third or fourth signs. It was disheartening.
But we all know that the City of God is around; for those who are truly seeking to find it. The early Church was first visible in the manger. But only the shepherd and the Magi found it. Herod and all the priests in Jerusalem knew their theology. But they did not find Him. Why? Because like Herod they were too busy doing what they want, forcing others to do what we want (like telling the Magi to do what he wanted), and killing those who would (Herod thought wrongly) take away what he wanted, his throne.
Some souls have probably found the Child with his Mother. They are the ones who make up the City of God. But they will not return to the City of Man, in the US, in Europe, in North American, in Canada or in the Far East. They will return to their country by another route. For the rest of the world, God is giving the world a respite with the strange happenings in Russia, in Brexit, in Italy, in France, in Poland….etc. It is a brief silent and holy night. If you are believers in the Catholic Faith, watch out for your angels with a message from God. If you are unbelievers, watch for your star and follow it. Both will lead you to the City of God.
