Divine Providence
It has been two weeks since my first edition of The Inquisitor’s Diary, and a couple of unexpected events have happened at my workplace that could have only been the work of Divine Providence. I have noticed in the past few years that, in regard to myself, the Lord seems to precede a good that He is about to bestow upon me by first making me suffer some temporary evil. The Tuesday after I posted my first edition of this Diary, my friend with whom I worked with both at our old company and the new company that we both started at this past May 2022, was suddenly called into the manager’s office and essentially fired. I had no idea that such a meeting had occurred as I was busy trying to fix a minor issue with one of the machines I was using at the time. My friend storms past me in anger raving about going home due to a mistake, and I have no idea what happened. Suddenly, I get called into the manager’s office and, naturally, think that something bad is about to happen. On the contrary. The manager wanted to let me know why he had to let my friend go, and because he knew we were friends, he wanted to make sure I was in possession of the facts. He knew (and indeed it came to pass) that my friend would give me his version of events, but I already had knowledge of everything. During this meeting, the manager expressed concern that I might follow my friend in leaving. I assured him that I wouldn’t. He ended by reminding me of what he said in my review the Friday prior, namely, that I had impressed everyone, including himself, and that he valued me and didn’t want me to leave. And that was that. Naturally, I was a bit sad that I wouldn’t have my friend to work with anymore. Fast forward to this Thursday just gone, and I get called into the manager’s office again. This time, he informed me that one of my colleague’s who does all the admin for my shift is moving to the morning shift, and thus the admin post would be vacant. After consulting with my supervisor, he said that I was the first and only candidate he could of think of that would suit the position. I informed him that I did have a background in admin, which he didn’t even realise and that pleased him very much. After providing me with a list of the duties for the position, he asked me if I was interested in the position, and I affirmed I was. And so, I was promoted to the role of administrator. I began my training that very day with my supervisor. So, the Divine Providence so worked events that after my friend left, I was promoted. I have no doubt that I probably wouldn’t have been promoted if my friend was still there. Forgiving of loans and debts. A debate has arisen in the US regarding the forgiving of student loans. The Biden Administration is seeking to forgive around $10,000 in student debt for millions of Americans. The Guardian newspaper (a British Leftist newspaper) reports that “[a]bout 43 million Americans have federal student debt, with an average balance of $37,667, according to federal data. A third of those owe less than $10,000. Half owe less than $20,000. The total amount of federal student debt is more than $1.6tn.” That amount, $1.6trillion, is bigger than the Australian economy! American conservatives claim that such cancellation of debt is essentially Socialist. Perhaps these same conservatives - most, if not all, of whom are purported “Bible believing” Christians - need to re-read their Bibles, for in it they’ll find that God instituted the Jubilee Year amongst the Israelites, which was held every 50 years during which all debts were forgiven. If such forgiveness is Socialist, what does that make God Himself? I think American conservatives need to re-think their argumentation. The casual American use of “Socialist” and “Communist” against anything that isn’t American corporatism or consumerism is rather annoying. The Church v the Antichurch Antipope Francis continues his assault on the Bride of Christ. The amount of evil he gets up to is far more than I can write about, but here’s a nugget (aside from his continuing to destroy the Latin Mass and promote his Synod on Synods): He gave the red hat to one Bishop McElroy of the Diocese of San Diego. The said Bishop is a known cover-upper of child sex abuse and has even put a sodomite priest back into parish ministry! Once again, the Antipope shows his true colours. He has no problem promoting evil men to such influential positions in the Church, because he himself is an evil man. Not misguided. Not a bumbling fool. Pure and plain evil. And I’m becoming certain that he really might be the False Prophet Forerunner of the Antichrist. The Cost of Living Crisis Once again, we are treated with news of the increasing crisis with the cost of living. Here in the UK, the energy regulator – Ofgem – has increased the energy price cap to near £4,000 a year. We’re told it’ll go up again in 2023. Let us remind ourselves when we hear all this economic doomsaying as to why we are in this situation: aside from the fact that our financial system is literally designed to implode, it isn’t helped by the fact that our respective governments decided to commit economic suicide in 2020 by locking everything down. Anyone with half a brain cell could have predicted the fallout we are now experiencing. But, at the time, it was a conspiracy theory to say such things. Now it’s a conspiracy fact. How ironic. However, such financial crises as these remind us of the sobering fact that we should not put our trust in men, but in the Lord. I have consecrated all my possessions, as well as my finances and myself, to Our Heavenly Mother, asking Her to bless me with good things and with only those things which are conducive to my salvation, and to intercede for me that during these says of uncertainty to, as far as reason and the Lord’s Will permit, to grant me financial stability and to grant me relative comfort. Again, as far as is conducive to my salvation. I’m not asking to be stupidly rich (though chance would be a fine thing). Only to be stable and have – as far as God permits – little to no financial worries. So far, I have found that doing such things as consecrating my possessions to Our Lady actually works. I usually don’t have to worry too much about money. And, as noted above, I’ve been promoted which has the bonus of a slightly bigger salary. I’d highly recommend that you consecrate your possessions and finances to Our Lady.
Comments
Note: Due to my busy work schedule, I am unable to commit to writing articles every day, or even every other day. Instead, I will collate commentary in a Diary version (something I'm borrowing from a magazine I subscribed to until recently). Each edition will be of varying lengths depending on what I'm commenting on. I will try to include a bit of everything to balance it. I hope you enjoy reading it.  What the Satanic Elite are planning is totally public The quote on the left is just one example from an ocean of literature that publicly documents what the Satanic Elite are up to. It sounds awfully like what is going on. For nigh two years we were all told to be scared out of our wits about a virus that turned out to not be the Plague 2.0 that it was made out to be. The lockdowns, mask mandates etc., all turned out to be what many of us were saying at the time...destructive and suicidal to the state. The DeathJabs are now proving to be the toxic, deadly, DNA altering poisons we warned people about. And now, inflation is through the roof. Why? Because prices have gone up. And why have they gone up? Because our collective governments thought it a jolly good idea to print tonnes of money (or at least, press a load of zero's into a database to simulate money) which in turn has devalued our currencies, thus causing prices to go up. Example: my 50p bottle of milk is now £1, not because the quality of the milk has increased, but because my currency has halved in value thanks to government flooding the financial scene with more money. Of course, the governments of the now suicidal West are blaming the War in Ukraine on some of the problems. Our energy prices are sky-high because of Russia...even though we actually take very little from them. As usual, we are all being fed a lie. The Elites already had the DeathJab waiting for rollout, they just needed an excuse. They already were going to wreck the economy, they just needed a reason. It's Problem-Reaction-Solution: They manufacture a problem, control the public's reaction via media, and then impose the solution they already had waiting. UK Heatwave and People's Stupid Response We are currently experiencing another heatwave in the UK where the temperature is over 30C again. As someone who can't stand anything over 25C, this is akin to being in Hell for me. Ironic, considering that I was recently diagnosed with a Vitamin D deficiency so I am taking Vitamin D supplements. You'd think I'd be out there in the sun for a top up. Alas, I can only tolerate the hot sun for a short while, after which....see ya! We're told our recent heatwaves are due to Climate Change. Naturally, if anything happens out of the ordinary with the weather, it's Climate Change. And considering I live in a country where the weather is extremely temperamental at times, that out-of-the-ordinary phenomena is quite frequent. I'm waiting to see if our winter is anything out of the ordinary. If so, the Climate Alarmists will be out in force again. And speaking of Climatism, why is using electricity to warm your home or cool your home bad for the environment, but using that same electricity to charge your Tesla isn't bad for the environment? Another case of the elitist "it's okay when I do it" mentality. We are also having a drought, we're told, leading to people panic-buying bottled water. Just stop and think about that for a moment. People are panic-buying bottles of water when they already have drinkable water at home via their taps! And how can we be having a drought when we're an island surrounded on all sides by water?! Hasn't Her Majesty's Government heard of desalination - turning sea water into drinking water? How is it possible that we - the once masters of the seas - can't process sea water? It boggles the mind how we're ruled by such babbling clowns, but then I remember that democracy is a sham and our politicians are puppets installed by the Elite. Just look at Joe Biden, for Heaven's sake! Housework and Prepping I have been slowly re-arranging my home and storing things in proper places. Mainly, I have been buying collapsible storages boxes and putting them everywhere. So far, I have used them in the living room and I'm about to set them up in my kitchen. They are fantastic. They are also going to be used in my wardrobes to keep my clothes in neat places. Whilst tidying up, it sprang into my mind to turn one of my small storage cupboards into a pantry and stockpile foodstuffs. What with the rising prices and no doubt the further break down of supply chains, it may get a bit hairy when one attempts to buy food. So, I've been slowly looking at foods I can buy and which will last for a while. I've been advising friends do the same thing as well. Nothing dramatic, but just quietly prepping for whatever may get thrown against the fan. I'm also stockpiling things like candles, batteries, matches, etc. I am trying to (un-successively) move away from electricity as much as I can. I've even gone to switching my internet off when I leave for work and when I go to bed. I know actually doesn't save much money, but at least it disconnects me from the noise on the interwebs. I have a ton of books to read - both Catholic and secular - and I've gone anywhere near them due to my confessed internet addiction.  Bible In A Year
One of the practises I got into and then fell out of as quickly - and which I am struggling to get back into - is the Bible In A Year podcast by Ascension Press. It became the #1 Podcast in the world on Apple. It's literally a priest reading portions of the Bible every day for a year. I did end up buying Ascension Press's Bible and their BIAY Companions. They've now come out with a notebook. I wished they did that earlier as I've already got my own notebooks that I am working in! I listen to the podcasts on Hallow (see image left), a fantastic Catholic app that has a ton of content. It even has hymns and Gregorian chant for prayer, studying, etc. They also have audio rosaries (I use these as I'm terrible at praying the Rosary by myself and I can also pray along whilst doing chores...especially with my Bluetooth speaker), novena's and even reading challenges. If you don't have Hallow but are interested in the BIAY, you can find the episodes on Youtube. Ascension have recently announced that from January 2023, they are doing the Catechism In A Year. I'm still debating on whether follow this podcast, since the recent editing of the Catechism isn't very appealing. And plus, I prefer the older Catechisms are they are much easier to understand and you don't get doctrinal indigestion! The CCC has some rather chunky paragraphs that look extremely unhealthy. A simple question and answer for me, please. Next to all that, I have taken up the Imitation of Christ and something called Christ in the Gospel, which is a small book with all the Gospels in chorological order with a reading for each day. It helps me to meditate for a about 15 mins on what Christ did and how He is speaking to me now. Feast of the week The 15th August is the Feast of the Assumption. It is the principal feast of Our Lady, as it the crowning of all her graces and the epitome of her glory. On this day, Our Lady was assumed, body and soul, by her Divine Son into the glories of Heaven, to the praises and singing of the Angelic Host whereupon, as follows the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary, she was crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. Here in England, we are celebrating the feast twice: on Sunday as an External Solemnity and on Monday as the Feast Proper. The 16th August is the feast of St. Joachim, the Father of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Grandfather of Jesus Christ. He and his wife, St. Anne, lived in Nazareth. They were old in years and were sort of derided for having no children: a sign of God's judgment in Jewish culture. After much prayer, St. Anne eventually conceived the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was preserved free from all stain of Original Sin by Almighty God in view of her great role as the Mother of God. Thus, St. Joachim was the Grandfather of God, and no doubt spent many happy days with his Divine Grandson. May he intercede for all fathers and grandfathers, especially those who have no children, that they may be blessed by Almighty God, if not with children, then with an abundance of grace and a happy and holy marriage. One of the fundamental foundations to modern Western philosophy is Transcendental Idealism. It is a philosophical system founded by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in the 1700's.
Kant's philosophy argues that "the conscious subject cognizes the objects of experience not as they are in themselves, but only the way they appear to us under the conditions of our sensibility. Thus Kant's doctrine restricts the scope of our cognition to appearances given to our sensibility and denies that we can possess cognition of things as they are in themselves, i.e. things as they are independently of how we experience them through our cognitive faculties." In layman's terms, Kant argued - against the standard philosophy at the time rooted in that of the great Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas - that man cannot know what objects actually are. An example to help illustrate: According to St. Thomas Aquinas, when a man observes a door, his senses independently pick up the appearances of the door, such as what it looks like, how it sounds, what it feels like, what it may smell like, and even what it may taste like if he were to lick it. These appearances - called "sensible phenomena" in philosophical jargon, or appearances as they are received by the senses - then carry to the intellect (a faculty of the soul) where the intellect connects the data together to form an understanding of the door. The same is true if one looks at any object. We all know, for example, of what a tree is, or what a cat is, etc. In short, our minds conform to the reality of the object we are focused on. Kant, on the other hand, would claim that despite our senses picking up the phenomena of the door, we can't really say it's a door since we can't see past the sensible phenomena. In other words, the door may not actually be a door. It may actually be, in substance, a jellyfish. An outrageous claim, but you get the point. If Kant were alive today, he might say that if the door were a living, rational being, it might not identify as a door. Now, can you see where this is leading to, yet? Yet, in a strange twist, even though in principle Kant would deny that the door is actually a door, in practise he would admit it's a door, since he would have to use the door to enter or exit the room. He already knows he can't walk through the walls! So, what we have with Kant is a philosophical mush that says, in effect: The door is only a door when I need it to be a door. Otherwise, I don't know what it is (again, sound familiar?). Fast-forward to today, and we can see the effects of Kant's mush on society. Three extremely apropos examples of Kant in action: 1. The worshippers of Moloch (i.e. pro-aborts) will claim that the growth inside a woman's womb isn't a human baby, but only a clump of cells. Therefore, it can be sliced and diced and sucked up a tube. However, when the abortionist needs to sell the organs of this clump of cells, he doesn't market them as the organs of a clump of cells, he markets them as the organs of a human baby. Thus, the baby only becomes a baby when the abortionist needs it to be a baby in order to sells its organs. Otherwise, it's just a clump of cells. 2. Leftists today are unable to define what a woman is. We hear them tell us this (ironically, including women!). Yet, if you shut down abortion, all of a sudden these same Leftists will accuse you of attacking women's rights, even though they don't know what a woman is. Or rather, they will only define womanhood when it's convenient to promote abortion or feminism, but otherwise they can't define womanhood. (Question: if a transwoman (man-into-woman) can't define what a woman is, how do they know if they've become a woman?) 3. The Transgender movement claim that gender doesn't exist. Yet, they also claim that you can change your gender and even identify as one of a hundred genders - even though gender doesn't exist. Rather, gender only exists when they need it to exist in order to promote their abhorrent ideology (have you watched What Is A Woman?). Thus, we see how Kantianism is the bedrock of Leftist Ideology. Its premise is the total rejection of reality - except when reality is needed to promote some perverse cause. This waxing in and out of reality is sure to contribute to the global insanity we observe all around us. And this thought has infected all facets of societal life, most especially politics. We see, then, that from a human point-of-view, total mush being pushed as serious philosophy has driven modern man completely bonkers, laying the foundation for Leftism and then feeding it afterward. The antidote is for a return to St. Thomas Aquinas and his philosophy that is rooted in Reality - which is none other than Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. As I often say, the further away from Catholicism a man strays, the more insane he becomes. St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and set right our minds! |
