There are a few items I’d like to address before wrapping up this treatment of Exsul Familia Nazarethana (EFN), the Apostolic Constitution that provides the theoretical framework for the Roman Church-State’s massive and ongoing illegal alien assault on the United States of America.[1] The first of these is Rome’s “welcome the stranger” argument.

While Pius XII chose to build his case for mass welfare migration on the flight of Joseph and his family to Egypt recorded in Matthew 2:13-15, this is not the only passage in Scripture on which to build a doctrine of immigration. One could argue that, in fact, it is not even the best passage of Scripture to cite for that purpose.
There are several important differences between the situation with Joseph’s family and the sort of mass border rush that’s taking place in America under the current presidential administration. One of these we’ve already mentioned: Joseph and his family were truly asylees according to the modern definition of the term, but many of those pouring across America’s southwest border are economic migrants.[1] Certainly, one can sympathize with those seeking a better life, but their situation is not the same as those fleeing for their lives due to persecution.
But the problems with Pius XII’s argument don’t end there. One minor point worth noting is that both Judea and Egypt were constituent parts of the Roman Empire at the time of Christ’s birth. Fleeing from Judea to Egypt was simply going from one Roman province to another. Even Pius XII pretends to acknowledge that national borders matter, yet he builds his immigration case on an example where notional borders did not come into play.

In his book Ecclesiastical Megalomania, John Robbins quoted Roman Catholic historian Brian Tierney’s comment on Rome’s doctrine of the of the two swords. This doctrine, which asserts that God had delegated both spiritual and temporal power to the bishop of Rome, is based on Luke 22:38 “And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.” Wrote Tierney, “A whole inverted pyramid of political fantasy was erected on the basis of this one verse.”[1]
In much the same way as with the doctrine of the two swords, Rome likewise has erected a whole inverted pyramid of immigration fantasy on the basis of three verses in the second chapter of Matthew that record the flight into Egypt.
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”
When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son” (Matthew 2:13-15).
This flight, according to Pope Pius XII’s[2] 1952 Apostolic Constitution Exsul Familia Nazarethana,[3] the Émigré Family of Nazareth, hereafter EFN, is the “archetype of every refugee family.” In the words of Pius XII,
The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth, fleeing into Egypt, is the archetype of every refugee family. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, living in exile in Egypt to escape the fury of an evil king, are, for all times and all places, the models and protectors of every migrant, alien and refugee of whatever kind who, whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, is forced to leave his native land, his beloved parents and relatives, his close friends, and to seek a foreign soil.[4]
Clearly, Joseph and his family were refugees under any reasonable definition of the term. Had they remained in Bethlehem, it is certain that Jesus would have been executed by King Herod, who “sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men” (Matthew 2:16) in his attempt to kill the newborn King of the Jews. Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary gives the definition of refugee as, “one who flees to a foreign country or power to escape danger or persecution.” According to the 1951 UN Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, the term refugee applies to “any person who…owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.” [5] The definition of “refugee” in US law is essentially the same as that of the 1951 UN Convention.

In his book The Incarnation, Gordon Clark criticized the Council of Chalcedon for its failure to define the terms it used in the famous creed it produced. “Discard or define,” was Clark’s slogan.
John Robbins put the same thought this way, if you define your terms, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
So in the spirit of Gordon Clark and John Robbins, I’d like to take time to define the terms used in the title of this talk.
Antichrist
My definition of Antichrist is that which was accepted by nearly all Protestants before the 20th century. Antichrist is the office of the papacy. The original language of the Westminster Confession of Faith summed up this view quite nicely in Chapter 25.6. It reads, “There is no other head of the church but the Lord Jesus Christ: nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense be head thereof: but is that Antichrist, that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the Church against Christ, and all that is called God.” But this language was altered in the 1903 revision of the Confession by the Presbyterian Church USA to remove the language identifying the pope as “Antichrist,” “man of sin,” and “son of perdition.”
Two of the best Presbyterian theologians of the 20th century did not offer much in the way of objection to the removal of this language from the Confession. Writing in the November 28, 1936 issue of the “Presbyterian Guardian,” J. Gresham Machen commented that the edition of the Confession adopted by the Presbyterian Church of America[1] was the same as the doctrinal standards that existed in 1902, “except that two brief statements – one declaring the Pope to be Antichrist and the other declaring it to be sinful to refuse an oath when the civil magistrate requires it, are omitted.”[2]
B.B. Warfield noted in his article “The Confession of Faith as Revised in 1903” that “The motive of the revisers seems to have been to avoid calling the Pope of Rome ‘that antichrist, that man of sin, and son of perdition, that exalteth himself in the church against Christ and all that is called God” – which does seem rather strong language. Why the revisers wished to avoid applying these terms to the Pope of Rome we can only conjecture. But their avoidance of it need not imply that they – some or all of them – felt prepared to deny that the Pope of Rome is the Antichrist of Scripture.”[3] As do many Bible-believing Presbyterians, I count myself an admirer of B.B. Warfield, but these comments from him are disappointing. The most likely reason that the revisers excised the language identifying the Pope of Rome as Antichrist, man of sin, and son of perdition is the very one Warfield denies was their motive, that they – some or all of them – were prepared to deny that the Pope of Rome was the Antichrist of the Scriptures. The history of the American Presbyterian church since 1903 substantiates this reasoning, as even highly educated Presbyterians from that day to the present have become increasingly willing to deny that the Pope of Rome is the Antichrist of the Scriptures, something that was once clearly understood even by the plowboy with a Bible.
But what the revisers did by striking the Confession’s language about the identity of Antichrist was something far worse than merely sowing confusion about who Antichrist is. By denying that the Pope of Rome is the Antichrist, the revisers of the Confession also denied the entire Protestant system of prophetic interpretation known as historicism, of which system the identity of Antichrist as the papacy is a key component.[4]
It seems to this Presbyterian in the Year of Our Lord 2023 that the removal of the Confession’s language on the identity of Antichrist, while it may have appeared minor to observers at the time, opened the floodgates for the false Jesuit eschatologies of Preterism and Futurism – both of which deny a present Antichrist, instead placing him far in the past or at a time still to come – to come pouring into Protestant church, thus blinding, as it were, even the elect to the work of Antichrist taking place right in front of their noses.
One of these works, I argue in this paper, is the flooding of America with illegal aliens, many of them Roman Catholics, for the purpose of subverting our Protestant Republic, capturing the nation for Rome, and incorporating it into Rome’s planned system of world government.

Your land, strangers devour it in your presence.
“It’s a total free for all in Eagle Pass right now. Mass illegal crossing taking place for over an hour and a half. Almost 2 years to the day we saw 15,000+ Haitians under the bridge in Del Rio, we now have thousands of predominantly Venezuelans gathering under Eagle Pass bridge.”
That was a recent post on X[1] (formerly Twitter) from Fox News’ Bill Melugin, one of the few, perhaps the only, legacy media reporters who has consistently covered the illegal alien disaster taking plan on America’s southwest border. A disaster, the proximate cause of which is the policies of the current presidential administration.
A New York Times article[2]written the same day as Melugin’s post, September 20, 2023, reported that “Thousands of migrants crossed into the small city of Eagle Pass, Texas, from Mexico on Wednesday, crowding onto the bank of the Rio Grande and under an international bridge in what officials describe as an unfolding crisis.”
In a town hall on September 6, 2023,[3] New York mayor Eric Adams caused quite a stir when ripped the Biden Administration for providing “no support” to the city for the burgeoning illegal alien crisis and said, “This issue [the illegal alien crisis] will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City.” Given the scale of the illegal alien crisis in his city, it’s hard to argue with Mayor Adams’ assessment.

“GOP lawmakers once praised Catholic Charities. Now they want to defund the group.” That was the recent headline in The Washington Post, the purpose of which, apparently, was to display the hypocrisy of Republican lawmakers.
On the other hand, my first thought was, “Now that’s what I call progress.”
When I think of charities that ought to be defunded, the treasonous group known as Catholic Charities tops the list. Of course, the federal government has no business giving taxpayer money to any religious charity. But Catholic Charities is the granddaddy of all religious charities feeding at the federal trough, that, and the fact that it is an arm of Antichrist and the biggest pusher of immigration treason in the United States makes it target numero uno for defunding.
What’s drawn the ire of the anti-American Washington Post, in this case, is that,
A few Republican members of Congress are threatening to reduce or eliminate funding for Catholic Charities and other faith-based groups that offer aid to immigrants at the U.S. southern border.
“GOP lawmakers once praised Catholic Charities, Now they want to defund the group” By Jack Jenkins, The Washington Post, July 28, 2023
Now calling Catholic Charities and other groups aiding and abetting the migrant invasion of America “faith-based groups that offer aid to immigrants at the U.S. southern border” is akin to calling arsonists “those who help people heat their homes in the winter by assisting them with starting fires.”
The fact is that Rome has been stoking the fires of the immigration crisis for decades in America and elsewhere and then rides up in a fire engine and pretends to put out the blaze with humanitarian assistance that comes out of the pockets of the taxpayers.

When one surveys the Western world in 2023, he finds a most amazing phenomenon: with one exception, all the governments of the West express open hatred for their own people and are actively attempting to destroy them.
I covered this topic in my recent post “The Trouble with Scotland.” Here in America, the Biden Regime demonstrates its hatred for ordinary Americans in any number of ways, but perhaps in no way more dramatically than its treasonous border policies that have resulted in millions of illegal aliens pouring across our southern border with Mexico.
What is more, it doesn’t seem to matter at all what the people of the West actually want or whom they vote for. Just last year, newly elected Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who ran on a platform of immigration control, has seen migration across the Mediterranean double in the past nine months and recently granted work permits to 425k non-EU workers. The conservative government of Great Britain has done nothing to halt the flow of welfare migrants coming across the Channel.
I mentioned above that there is one exception to the migration madness that’s overtaken the West. That exception is a man I’ve mentioned before in this space, Hungary’s Viktor Orban.

“Your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.”
A story on the Catholic New Agency caught my eye last week. Read the headline “Pope Francis urges freedom in message for World Day of Migrants and Refugees.”
“What freedom could the Pope be talking about,” I wondered. Freedom not to have my nation overrun by welfare migrants? Freedom not to be forced to pay for the housing, medical care, schooling, food, and a thousand other things for foreigners and illegal aliens? Freedom not to have children born in my country to illegal aliens declared instant American citizens with all the benefits thereof? Freedom not to have a replacement migration scheme run on the American people? Freedom not to be lectured by His Holiness (sic) and his lackeys about how I’m a bad person because I oppose having my land, as Isaiah put it, devoured by strangers?
No. Very obviously, the Papal Antichrist meant none of those things. The job of Antichrist is the to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. That’s how he rolls and he cannot do otherwise.
What Pope Francis meant by freedom is that migrants should be “free to choose whether to migrate or to stay.”
Those of us who are a bit older may remember a series on PBS some 40-odd years ago called “Free to Choose.” It was a series put out by Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Freidman in defense of capitalism.
But Pope Francis, good socialist that he is, does not much care for capitalism, the system of free enterprise and private property found in the Bible. By “free to choose,” the Pope means that migrants are free to barge into your country and force you to pay to support them. And in Rome’s twisted way of thinking, it is your bounden duty to support them. Your “obligation” as various Roman Catholic prelates like to put it.
This supposed obligation to support migrants is a lie promoted by Rome to subvert independent nation-states and to further its own interests, chief among them the promotion of New World Order globalism. Although it may surprise some people to hear this, the Vatican, not the World Economic Forum, not the Bilderbergers, and not Bill Gates, is the beating heart of globalism. The Vatican has long used migration as a battering ram to undermine the relatively free and prosperous societies of the West – the relative freedom and prosperity of the West is the remnant of the 16th century Christian Reformation – and to bring them back under its sway, sway that was lost at the time of the Reformation and the ensuing Thirty Years’ War.
According to the article, “Pope Francis pointed out that the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt was not a free decision. This is the case with many migrants.”

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
Last week witnessed the end of Title 42, the Coved-era rule put in place by the Trump Administration allowing for expedited deportation of illegal aliens. Predictably, a tidal wave of illegal aliens gathered on America’s southern border in the weeks leading up to the end of Title 42 on May 11, and this group has now swarmed the border. See here, here, here, for videos of illegal aliens rushing the border in the days leading up to May 11.
Some people have described this influx of illegal aliens over the past 2 plus years under the Biden Regime as the “failure” of Biden’s border policy. For example, a recent piece in the New York Post described El Paso, TX as “the latest ground zero for President Joe Biden’s failed border policies.” But Biden’s border policies can be considered a failure only if one supposes they were designed to protect the property, lives, and communities of the American people.
But there’s no reason to believe this is the case. In my opinion, the entire purpose of Biden’s border policies has been to create the very situation that has unfolded over the past 2-plus years. The illegal alien invasion is the policy. And that policy is the original with the Biden Regime. As this blog has contended for many years, the illegal alien assault on America is a creature of the Vatican. The Roman Catholic, Jesuit-influenced Joe Biden and his administration are merely carrying out in practice the welfare immigration of the Antichrist Roman Catholic Church-State.
Why does Rome push its unchristian, nation-breaking, and destructive immigration policies? Certainly, one reason is that it’s part of Rome’s overarching plan to create a one-world government and one-world religion. Rome of the granddaddy of all globalist enterprises. Those who think the World Economic Forum, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, Bill Gates, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, or George Soros are the leading globalists are very much mistaken. Rome predates them all. What is more, the popes of Rome and their henchmen have regularly and openly called for world government.

Your land, strangers devour it in your presence.
When I was a kid, I remember going on a snipe hunt. A snipe, we were told, was this somewhat mysterious beast that came out at night, and it was our job to catch one. The problem was nobody seemed to really know what a snipe looked like. That’s a bit of a problem. Because if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you can’t recognize it, even if it’s standing right in front of you. Unsurprisingly, our search for the mythical snipe, while it was a lot of fun, ultimately proved fruitless.
The contemporary Protestant church is much like we kids were on our snipe hunt. Books are written about Antichrist and some people seem to know who he is or was. The preterists will tell you Antichrist has long since come and gone in the person of the emperor Nero. We have nothing to fear from him in the 21st century. The futurist school, which dominates in our own time, sees Antichrist as having not yet come. While preterism and futurism come to very different conclusions about the identity of Antichrist, they have this one thing in common, there is no current Antichrist.
Actually, preterism and futurism have something else in common: They were both developed by the Jesuits during the counterreformation to take the heat off the pope, whom the reformers almost to a man had identified as the Antichrist, man of sin, and son of perdition of the Scriptures. This stance, identifying the office of the papacy as the Antichrist, is one facet of the Protestant school of prophetic interpretation known as historicism.
