Gladium - Winter 2017
Page 1 - Excerpt from Cardinal Pie:
“Man has replaced God with Man! Step by step the daily lives of men have been deprived of God. God has been pushed away from men’s minds and hearts, from academic life and political life; so that little by little, the Revolution has taken over!
“The Revolution is satanic and therefore our present crisis is satanic! The Modern spirit consists in living purely in the Natural Order, rejecting any higher reason for submission, rejecting any higher order than itself; it is the wholesale rejection of the Supernatural Order! This is the Modern spirit! This is the same spirit that animated Satan!
“The Fathers of the Church point out that the religion of Satan was due to the fact that he refused submission to the Incarnate Word, that he refused to bow down his angelic nature and his angelic dignity before a Man! Even if that Man was the Son of God Incarnate! [Namely, Our Lord Jesus Christ.]
“So what did he [Lucifer] demand from God? ‘I demand my natural dignity, my natural rights, my natural exigencies, and I
will not relinquish these for anything! I refuse an increase of glory, an increase of merit, and I refuse the Light that is going to come to me through the Incarnate Word!’
“So, opposed to the order of the Incarnation, Satan held up the order of his own creation. Against the order of the free gift of God, he held up the order of his own personal, natural right. To the order of Grace he opposed the order of Nature. It is in this manner that the Modern spirit repeats the rebellion of Satan; the refusal of Grace and the Supernatural Order and the demand for the preservation of one’s own natural, personal rights.
“Therefore, confronted with this world where the Revolution has triumphed, what must we do? There is only one thing we must do; fight! When the Revolution is triumphant the Church has to be militant! The Church is militant! We are the Church Militant! The Church Triumphant is in Heaven. The Church Suffering is in Purgatory. The Church Militant means we must fight against the enemy while we live on this earth! For this reason our fight is constantly to oppose the Revolution, the ideals of the Revolution, the whole mindset of the Modern world!
