There were few observers when Saint Pope Pius X appeared in the wee hours of a recent morning in Saint Peter’s Square. That did not detour him from making this announcement.
Since our successor is not doing his job I was chosen by his predecessors to come back to Earth briefly to call for the Great Repent. Pope Francis has leagued himself with various powerful men and women to call for a “great reset” after this minor current pestilence ends. These jackals, greedy for power and wealth, seek to enchain humanity for various causes they support. Why our successor has joined in such an evil conspiracy I will not pretend to understand. My purpose is to call mankind to repentance for the terrible sins that are currently praised as good, while virtue is damned as evil. The evils that you currently suffer are mild thanks to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. However, God’s patience is not endless. This Lent is marked by God as the beginning of the Great Repent and a mass return to Him.
The Pope was about to say more when shrill whistles were blown by Roman cops who informed the Pope and his small audience that they were in violation of curfew, were not observing social distancing and were not masked. The audience was arrested, but Saint Pope Pius X was not found. The flashlights of the cops did reveal this scrawled on the place where the sainted Pope had been standing:
magna pœnitentiam agant.
Repentance is not something we hear about much any more in our Novus Ordo Church’s. It went out of style at Vatican II.
If the Church was serious about repentance they would preach about confession and offer more than once a week for less than an hour.
Shouldn’t it be, “Magnam poenitentiam agant”? May they conduct great penance?
Or “Magna poenitentia agatur?” May great penance be conducted?
I hope this Android keyboard didn’t screw up my Latin grammar. Argh!
In the era of mercy repentance is getting to be a dirty word. It’s almost like trying to be holy and righteous is a sin against mercy.
Why bother with that repentance stuff, since sin is now the approved mode of the self-righteous in our world?
Perhaps we ought to remind them that calling good evil, and evil good, is actually a form of “cultural appropriation” from Hades.
