 1. The Great Spiritual warfare.<\/span>
      There is one great spiritual warfare going on. A futile battle of the devils against God but waged against susceptible mankind.  God, being over and above  this battle, uses this same battle to test the children of men to see whether the men will deserve either heaven or hell. Those who stand by the side of God by obeying His commandments will be rewarded with everlasting life in heaven with God. Those who stand by the side of the devils will be punished with the absence of God for all eternity. <\/span>
     This spiritual battle is visibly and externally fought by men from  both sides in the created world. Each battle is fought in the fields of politics, sociology, culture, psychology, theology, economics, ecology…etc. All events in the physical world reflects an underlying spiritual cause. <\/span>
     Every objective reality has its equivalent expression in the mind. And each individual mind must judge if the objective event is according to the Mind of God or not. If it is according to God’s mind then it is true. If it is against God’s mind then it is false.<\/span>
     If the objective reality is in consonant with our mind and if our mind is in consonant with God’s mind, then we have a truth. <\/span>

<\/span>2. The battle for the mind. <\/span>
     The great spiritual warfare is a battle for the minds of men. The battle is evidently not between God and the devils.  The battle is within each man; a choice between true and false. With the devils cheering for false while the angels cheering for the true. Man is the center; he is his own defender and he is his own destroyer. The devils will be cheering for the destroyer and the angels will be cheering for the defender. Man will decide who will win and God will either reward or punish according to man’s choice. <\/span>

<\/span>3. Events show the extent of the spiritual damage done to men. <\/span>
    This damage can be seen world wide but is more manifestly seen in the last US election. Being an influential nation and due to mass communication the details on what is happening clearly shows the extend of the spiritual corruption going on in the world but exposed for the world to see in this last concluded election. We see the triumph of the false and the lie over the truth. <\/span>
    Elections in other countries could be as bad but the details are not well published. So analysis is more difficult. But in the last US election, every detail had been published so an adequate true analysis can be made. The emphasis is on the word ‘true.’<\/span>

<\/span>4. The crisis of Truth.<\/span>
     The crisis we face is the crisis of truth. Basing it on the treatise on ‘truth’ according to  St. Thomas of Aquinas, the world is undergoing a crisis of truth. We do not know the truth. We are blind to the truth; and that means we are going only towards one direction …..down to self destruction, economically, religiously, ecologically, physically, psychologically….etc. For the spiritually blind there is no other way than to go down to hell. <\/span>

<\/span>5. The first step towards heaven is an act of the mind.<\/span>
     The mind must know the truth. Some truths are natural and others are spiritual. Natural truths can be learned by studying. But spiritual truths cannot be known by the mind in its natural state. It must be believed with the aid of the supernatural virtue of Faith. <\/span>
     Both natural and supernatural truths must be known by the mind as truths for truths exists in the mind. Natural truths must have its objective reality that must correspond with the mind. If objective reality does not correspond with the truth in the mind then it is false. <\/span>
     Spiritual truths do not have a corresponding objective reality; so it must be confirmed by Faith. Faith is even more dependable than objective reality. <\/span>
     Both natural objective reality and the object of Faith must correspond to the truth that exist in the mind; and the truth in the mind must correspond to the Mind of God for ‘truth’ to exist.<\/span>
     For truth to be true three things must correspond to one another; the objective reality, the true in the mind and the Truth in the Mind of God. We should, therefore, know Divine Revelation that teaches us the truth that exist in the Mind of God who said ‘I am the Truth.’ we should have a logical mind and we should have an objective reality that correspond to the truth that is in our mind. <\/span>

<\/span>6. The modern mind does not have the three elements of truth.<\/span>
    So it is nearly impossible for most men to know the truth today, as is clearly demonstrated in the last US election. Men’s mind does not correspond to the Mind of the Truth.  Reality is often false and unreal because it does not correspond with the mind. In short, the devil have taken complete control of man’s minds filling it up with false hood. After all he is the ‘father of lies.’ <\/span>
     Most minds today do not know the Divine truth with which all truths must depend. Most people are pagans or Protestants. And most Catholics do not know their Faith. This is obvious in the last US election; that those who support the communist left are pagans, Protestants and Catholics. The beliefs of the communist left are not according to the truths in the Mind of God. The beliefs of these men do not, also,  correspond to their external actions in that they want  freedom for themselves, but deny it to others. They will accept  it if their candidate win but will not accept it if the other candidate won. <\/span>
     This is total chaos within man himself. There is no truth within this man. Everything is false hood. No wonder  we are surrounded with an atmosphere of lies. St. James wrote that this is the reason why there is anarchy and war in the air because there is anarchy and war within the man himself. Imagine waging war with Russia just to maintain the growth of our investments. To love money is to have a revolution within man; and this comes out in the form of demonstrations and revolutions…..falsehoods within man. <\/span>

<\/span>7. To say things as it should be said is telling the truth.<\/span>
    What we say must agree with what is in the Mind of God. And what we say must be realized in objective reality. It is for this reason that St. Thomas of Aquinas described the Catholic Faith as ‘Reality.’ Objective reality must conform with the truth in our mind. And the truth in our mind must  conform with objective reality. Otherwise it is a lie and its author is the devil. <\/span>
     The extend of the lie that fills the air clearly shows the state of the Catholic Church in the US. And the state of the Church in one place reflects the state of the Church in the whole world, St. John Chrysostom wrote. <\/span>
     Let us take an example of an objective reality (which at this point we have to depend on published news unless proven otherwise.) That the birth certificate of the president as presented by the white house is a fake. He is not an American citizen. <\/span>
     Let us go to the mind. The American people twice elected the president to the office. By not being an American he is disqualified and should not be a president. Here we see the American electorate having an error in their minds. What is in their minds did not correspond with reality. There is an error; there is something false. In Scriptures this is described as a lack of righteousness. They were not right. They were victims of something false. <\/span>
     The error committed is proof that objective reality and the human mind did not correspond with the Mind of God who is the Truth. If they knew the Mind of God that they should not elect a proponent of abortion and sodomy, the human mind should not have chosen such a candidate. And the objective reality will be that such candidate will not be elected. There was truth in the three steps. Such a man is a righteous man; there is no falseness in him.<\/span>

<\/span>8. Pope Francis.<\/span>
    Let us begin with the second step, the mind. What truth do I have in my mind? That a Pope, like all Catholics, should have the four visible signs of the Catholic Church as enumerated in the Nicene Creed. I, also, have in my mind the knowledge of the expanded 15 Marks of the true Church written by St. Robert Bellarmine, a Jesuit doctor of the Church.<\/span>
     Let us go to the Mind of God that states that the Pope must be like St. Peter the apostle who refused to bother about feeding Greek widows and global warming because he had to do an apostle’s job of staying on the roof to pray.<\/span>
     Then we have the objective reality. We have a Pope that does not have the four visible signs of the Church; he does not have the 15 Marks of the true Church. And he is not on the roof top praying but is instead closing air cons to prevent global warming. <\/span>
     The Mind of God and the mind of man are true. But the Pope is false because he does not correspond with the mind of God and the mind of men. It would not be inappropiate to call him a false pope according to the definition of St. Thomas of Aquinas. To be truthful we should say it as it should be said. <\/span>
     The Catholic Church like the state is in a state of untruthfulness. Since the supernatural virtue of Faith is an act of the mind, then if there is falsity in the mind it will be impossible for such to make an act of Faith. This era of false news in the world has made the Church a faithless church. <\/span>
