“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 looming expiry of Title 42 is expected to bring an influx of migrants to the southern US border.
Your land, strangers devour it in your presence.
Isaiah 1:7
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.
Group photo of Antichrist and his fellow globalist fiends in the Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican. Yes, that’s really the name of this group. Note, to Pope Francis’ right is Lynn Forester de Rothchild, heiress of the Rothchild central banking dynasty, Mark Carney, former head of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, and Brian Moynihan, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Bank of America, one of America’s, and one of the world’s, largest financial institutions.
And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:14
If you were to ask people what ESG is, odds are you’d get a blank stare. On the other hand, if you were to ask people about the Bud Light ad campaign featuring transgender “woman” Dylan Mulvaney, there’s probably a better chance they’d know what you’re talking about.
ESG is short for Environmental, Social, and Governance Investing. According to Investopedia, ESG investing refers to a set of standards for a company’s behavior used by socially conscious investors to screen potential investments.”
Put differently, ESG is the investing philosophy pushing companies to pursue wokeness over profitability and is the theory of which Bud Light’s transgender ad campaign is the practice.
The Dylan Mulvaney ad campaign, at least according to some American conservatives, has backfired on Anheuser Busch, leading to a boycott of the brand, a drop in the parent company’s stock, and falling sales. Supporting the notion that the ad campaign has angered many customers is the report that the VP of marketing who headed the ad campaign has “taken a leave of absence.”
Worth noting is that this is not Anheuser Busch’s first foray into woke advertising. In 2016, the company ran an ad celebrating homosexual marriages for Gay Pride Month, a time of year formerly known as June, but in recent years is become a sodomite bacchanalia.
There are other examples of woke advertising. A few years back. Gillette ran an ad campaign that took aim at its customer base, men. I can’t speak for others, but I switched from using Gillette products and will never go back.
Doubtless, other examples of woke advertising can be found. What is remarkable about them, at least the examples cited above, is that they seem to contradict every assumption we have about the purpose of advertising. If advertising is about getting people to like and to purchase your product, how does insulting your customer base help achieve that end? It hardly seems like what we would expect in a capitalist system.

“We are Republicans, and don’t propose to leave our party and identify ourselves with the party whose antecedents have been rum, Romanism, and rebellion. We are loyal to our flag.”
Dr. Samuel D. Burchard, Presbyterian Minister and Union Civil War Veteran
For the first time in his nearly 2 years in office, Joe Biden will visit America’s southwestern border today to lie to the American people once again about what he and his Regime are doing to destroy the nation that he supposedly represents through the policy of mass, welfare migration.
As America’s second Roman Catholic president, Joe Biden has wasted no time implementing the welfare immigration program of the Antichrist Roman Catholic Church-State, a program designed to weaken and subvert the United States and to strengthen the hand of the Vatican in the internal affairs of the nation. The goal of this program is to render the United States ungovernable and fold it into a regional, and finally a world government with the Pope – the man who claims to be the father of kings, governor of the world, and vicar of Christ – as the head.
While the lying legacy media portray America’s border crisis as if it, like Melchizedek, were without father or mother or genealogy, the parentage of America’s illegal alien migration disaster is very clearly known. It is a creation of the Democrats generally, of the Biden Regime more particularly, and of the Vatican ultimately.
But while the Vatican origins of the current immigration crisis are not hard to see, most Americans, even Reformed Christians who of all people should have the discernment to see the scam for what it is, fail to grasp what is being done to them and by whom it is being done.
The Antichrist Roman Church-State has been active on our southern border for years, decades really, promoting the destruction of America through mass Roman Catholic, welfare migration. But in the past few years, Rome has stepped up its game. Jesuit Pope Francis paid a visit to Juarez in January 2016, celebrating a mass that was simulcast in the Sun Bowl in El Paso. Unsurprisingly, Francis used this occasion to promote his favorite nation-breaking ploy, mass welfare migration.
The Wall Street Journal reporting on the Pope’s visit to Juarez noted, “While many are expected to cross the border to see the papal Mass at the nearby Juárez fairgrounds, some 600 ‘VIPs’ invited by the Roman Catholic Diocese of El Paso – migrants, labor advocates, nuns and immigration activists – will gather to watch the pope from a levee on the U.S. side.”
In another article on the same subject from February 9, 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported, “Pope Francis arrives in Mexico on Friday for a six-day visit that will end with a highly symbolic and potentially controversial act: the pontiff taking a stand on the fortified U.S. border to show solidarity with the migrants trying to cross it.” The Journal even went so far as to refer to migration as, “the expected theme of the pope’s Juárez visit.”
With this in mind, is it any big surprise that seven years later El Paso is the epicenter of Antichrist’s illegal alien assault on America?
It’s that time of year again. The time when we say goodbye to the old year and welcome in the new one with all its possibilities.
In the first place, I would like to thank the Lord for his grace and strength in 2022. The year was a challenging one for me personally, as I went through a period of unemployment. But God was gracious to me, helping me to find a job with a good company. And though things were a bit tight at some points, I always had the things I needed. I’m reminded of what Jesus said in his Sermon on the Mount, “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things – food, clothing, etc. – shall be added unto you.”
I’m thankful also for another year of serving the Lord through blogging and podcasting. 2022 was my 14th year of writing Lux Lucet and it’s been a labor of love the whole time. Ideas are powerful things, and ideas always come in the form of words. There was a time when I was in the habit of saying “words cannot express” when talking about something that deeply affected me. But many years ago, John Robbins disabused me of that notion. In Genesis, we see that the worlds were framed by the word of God. He spoke the universe into existence. Christ himself is called God the Word. There is nothing deeper than words. There is nothing that cannot be expressed by them. To have the opportunity to work in the medium of words. To write, to express ideas, to teach. That is a high privilege. It is also a great responsibility. It is my prayer each time I write that the words I use may honor God and edify his people.
War in Ukraine
In reviewing the year’s writing, I wrote 53 articles. And the prize for my most popular article written in 2022 goes to “The Reformed Church’s Lost Doctrine of Antichrist” published on April 3, 2022. The context of that piece was Pope Francis’ consecration of Russia and Ukraine “to the Immaculate Heart of Mary” on March 25, 2022. One of the biggest stories of the year was when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. And about a month later, there was Pope Francis dedicating Russia to “the Immaculate Heart of Mary.” I didn’t catch the significance of this story the first time I hear it, but in the week leading up to the papal consecration, there was so much chatter in the media about it that I decided to investigate the matter further. What I found was that the Pope’s decision was connected to the prophecies of Fatima from over a hundred years ago, in which the demon impersonation Mary promised that if the pope dedicated Russia to her immaculate heart, the nation would be freed from its errors and convert to Catholicism. Catholic commentators were ecstatic at the consecration and at least some of them were optimistic that quick results would soon follow. But here we are over nine months later, and the Pope’s consecration seems to have had precisely no effect. The likely excuse for this among Catholic commentators is that the Pope didn’t do the consecration right. At the time of the consecration, one prominent Catholic commentator, I think it was Taylor Marshall, mentioned his concern that Francis added “Ukraine” to his consecration rather than limiting it to “Russia,” as the demonic Fatima apparition instructed.
I thought at the time of writing that article, and still think today, that one of the major overlooked aspects of the war in Ukraine is the role of the Roman Catholic Church-State (RCCS). Pope Frances has verbally come out in support of Ukraine on several occasions over the past year, and very clearly his consecrating Russia is a power play for the RCCS against its ancient rival, the Russian Orthodox Church, and against Eastern Orthodoxy more broadly. It is the long-term goal of the RCCS to create a one-world religion and a one-world government. Rome is the beating heart of New World Order globalism, and this shows very clearly in Ukraine, but most commentators either don’t notice or pretend as though they don’t.
Then there’s the fact that the CIA has been egging on this war since at least 2014 when they overthrew the elected leader in Ukraine and installed a pro-Western regime. The overthrow of Viktor Yanukovich in 2014 likely was precipitated by his announcement of a pro-Russia foreign policy for Ukraine in place of a pro-Western one. It’s worth noting, too, that the CIA has historically had close ties to the Roman Catholic Church going all the way back to its predecessor organization, the OSS during World War II. At that time, the OSS was headed by William “Wild Bill” Donovan, who was decorated “with the Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Sylvester, the oldest and most prestigious of papal knighthoods.”
Keep an eye out for further papal intrigue in Ukraine. As things stand, the RCCS has captured America’s federal government and seems fully intent on prosecuting a war in Ukraine in which no clear American interest is at stake. Is the CIA carrying out its proxy war against Russia in connection with advancing the Vatican’s goals of subjugating Russia and the Russian Orthodox Church? It seems likely to the author that this is the case.
