Daniel’s Brexit!
If poor England needs urgently to understand in depth why Europe is going wrong, so as to save Great Britain from following the New World Order, how much more do Catholics need to understand in depth how and why their Church went wrong at Vatican II, so as to save the entire world from its falling away from the one true God. In the Old Testament God Himself inspired in His prophet Daniel, exiled far from home by the Babylonian Captivity (ca. 590–520 BC), an urgent prayer of contrition for the sins of the Israelites so that God would forgive His people and grant them to restore the glory of His name by allowing them to practise once more His holy religion in the holy city of Jerusalem. It is not difficult to adapt to the Catholic Church’s Captivity in the 21st century the great prayer of Daniel (Chapter IX):—
[4] I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, saying, “O Lord, the great and terrible God, who keepest covenant and steadfast love with those who love Thee and keep Thy commandments, [5] we Catholics have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside at Vatican II from Thy commandments and ordinances; [6] we have not listened to Thy servants the faithful Popes, who spoke in Thy name to our kings, our governments, and our fathers, and to all the people of Christendom.
[7] To Thee, O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us confusion of face, as at this day, to Catholics, to the inhabitants of Rome, and to all the Church, those that are near and those that are far away, in all the lands in which Thou art now punishing them, because of the treachery which they have committed against Thee. [8] To us, O Lord, belongs confusion of face, to our kings, to our governments, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. [9] To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness; because we have rebelled against Him, [10] and we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God by following His laws, which he set before us by His servants, the faithful Popes and Bishops.
[11] All Christendom has transgressed Thy law and turned aside, refusing to obey Thy voice. And the curse and oath which are written by Moses the servant of God (Leviticus XXVI, Deuteronomy XXVIII), have been poured out upon Conciliar Catholics, because we have sinned against Him. [12] He has confirmed his words, which He spoke against us and against our rulers who ruled us, by bringing upon us a great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has not been done the like of what has been done by Vatican II. [13] As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us, yet we have not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, turning from our iniquities and giving heed to Thy truth. [14] Therefore the LORD has prepared the Chastisement and is bringing it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all the works which He has done, and we have not obeyed His voice.
[15] And now, O Lord our God, who hast always been bringing thy Catholics out of a godless world with a mighty hand, and hast made Thee a name, as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly. [16] O Lord, according to all Thy righteous acts, let Thy anger and Thy wrath turn away from Thy Church, Thy holy hill; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of the Council Fathers, the Catholic Church is becoming a byword for immorality among all who are round about us. [17] Now therefore, O Lord our God, hearken to the prayer of Thy servant and to his supplications, and for Thy own sake, O Lord, cause Thy face to shine upon Thy one true Church, which is more and more desolate.
[18] O my God, incline Thy ear and hear; open Thy eyes and behold our desolations, and the Church which is called by Thy name; for we do not present our supplications before Thee on the ground of our righteousness, but on the ground of Thy great mercy. [19] O LORD, hear; O LORD, forgive; O LORD, give heed and act; delay not, for Thy own sake, O my God, because Thy Church and Thy people are called by the name of Thy only-begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.”
