Even the Deeply Religious Aren’t Immunised Against Fear of Infection
We’re publishing an original article today by Sean Walsh, a former philosophy lecturer, on how the Government’s mechanisms of fear have been able to reach into the souls of the most observant Catholics, overcoming their trust in God. Here is an extract:
For a Catholic the Mass is the “source and summit” of the Christian life. It culminates in a divine speech act, mediated via the priest in loco Christi, which brings us into the Real Presence of Our Lord via the Eucharistic celebration. This Sunday, as last Sunday, congregants will be thanking the Lord, in His presence. And as ever, He will be joyful in receipt of that gratitude, even though most of those offering it will be hiding their face from Him, in an act of cowardice which is, at best, a bit rude.
Our Lord offered Himself up to the rest of us in act of supreme sacrifice… the members of my parish, encouraged by the bishops, will lower the mask for about three seconds: enough time to swallow the Host, cover the face again, and then re-engage with the secular protocols of social distancing.
Because they are worried that in the presence of Jesus Christ himself, they might catch a virus.
How has it come to pass that the Government’s mechanisms of fear have been able to reach into the soul of the most observant – and most of my fellow parishioners have always struck me that way – in such a way that neutralises the instincts and teachings of the Nicene Creed? Why is it that at point of contact with Our Lord they are scared?
Worth reading in full.

Psyop tactics being used by the Globalists to sustain their narrative https://www.fromrome.info/2021/07/07/psyop-tactics-being-used-by-the-globalists-to-sustain-their-narrative/ Since FromRome.Info is an independent website not subject to globalist control, it can publish articles which criticize their project and dismantle their narrative. And since a recent video which I produced has gotten more than 130,000 views on FromRome.info alone, and many more on other platforms where it has now been copied, FromRome.Info has begun to be targeted by experts in psyop warfare. Observing their tactics and taking the proper response, which is simply to erase their comment and never reply, I want however to share what I have learned with the general public, so that you too can learn how to counter their tactics. Globalist Assets First, it is a known fact that the UK Government has repurposed their anti-terrorist cyber warfare unit against those who attack the Globalist narrative. This is because the UK Govt is completely controlled by the Pilgrim Society, one of the leading Globalist Masonic groups. — The UK Govt is also responsible for creating global Islamic terrorism, by supporting Al Quaeda and ISIS, so that while we were looking the other way, they could promote a surveillance state to prepare for the… Read more »
My counsel regarding these kinds of attacks is this:The only way to respond to these is normally only by simply erasing their emails or comments. Some of these who practice n. 8 merit a published strong rebuke, but do not waste your time with all of them. Do not change your approach to publishing news and reposting articles. Remember, if you repost or republish, you are not obliged to know all the facts, since you are only reporting that it is newsworthy that another site has published an article or video about this topic. I highly recommend, taking pleasure in one thing: erasing comments by those engaged in one of the above 9 tactics. Acquire this habit and it will make your day, when you have to erase more comments than usual. Maintain a high quality of comment at your site by approving only the best ones or only those by well-behaved individuals, and definitely do not set your site to publish all comments, or else the pysops will high-jack your good work and use it for their goals. Finally, do what you do for the truth, not for any egotistic goal, and you will remain free from such manipulation.… Read more »
Up pops Milos, for example!
The whey I interpret this is that even those who were brainwashed by religion from childhood to a great extent, were affected by lockdown brainwashing even more. Even if their earlier religious brainwashing was apparently supposed to make them be against lockdowns, they still accepted it, so this speaks of power of lockdown fearmongering and manipulation and propaganda. Btw, as far as I have observed from personal experience and history, when religion stopped being dominant after the middle (dark) ages in Europe, it allied itself to support all kind of temporary dogmas and horrible regimes. Since pope is on the picture, I would just mention close links of Italian fascism and Vatican. During fascist era in Italy, a kind of church/monastery was built in La Sapienza University in Rome (just an example I saw with my own eyes, it is still there today without any reference or denunciation). Then there was/is Spain, Germany, etc. during 1930s, and 1940s Holocaust and murder of Jews was a murder of largest Christian minority in Europe at the time. Saying that it had nothing to do with dominant European Christian religion is just crazy. Then there is Stalin, USSR and Russian Orthodox Church (ROC).… Read more »
Correct
“largest Christian minority in Europe at the time” -> largest Non-Christian minority in Europe at the time.
PS. A friend told me that if you want to teach at Catholic universities in Italy you have to be baptized. His friend is an atheist and he found a job at Catholic university, but then he had to find a priest who would do him a favor and quickly baptize him and send confirmation to the university (like you would send a negative PCR test result or confirmation of covid19 vaccination so you could travel or attend events). This is discriminatory from Catholic university. They are private university so they can have a curriculum they wish but they cannot discriminate based on religion (as you can see, there are Non-Catholics who would teach or attend university).
Discrimination based oncovid19 vaccination status and masking is wrong and should be banned on state level and for private businesses (private business is not a private home or a private club and cannot chose at will whom it will let in and offer services).
The same goes for religious universities. They cannot ban people who are not of that fate.
Actually, I would like to offer an alternative to the narrative you’ve got here. It’ll start with Catholic writer Chesterton, in 1922, railing against the newly rising tide of Eugenics in his book “Eugenics and Other Evils”. He was almost entirely alone in his opposition amongst the Intelligentsia of the time. But before we get onto those who had taken up the Eugenic cause, let’s take a detour, in the very same year, 1922, to the Greek city of Smyrna. The city was burned to the ground whilst the Western powers looked on from their Battleships; it took a diminutive Methodist Minister called Asa Jennings to rouse them into saving some of the thousands of innocents slaughtered on the docks. Ultimately, this was a culmination of the expulsive efforts of the Turkish Nationalists towards the Greeks and Armenians. In the end, hundreds of thousands, up to two to three million, were murdered. Fast forward twenty years to Nazi Germany, and we see a very similar policy in action, Hitler himself, in 1939 is recorded as remarking, in regards to the genocide of Jewish people: “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?” Now, when it came to… Read more »
You’re not suggesting the disgraceful pretender here pictured is “deeply religious,” are you?
Odd how easily ignorant people are brainwashed into believing that all religious people are brainwashed.
So true, poor souls.
When I first came on to this site last July, I noticed that there were a lot of Christians. More, I thought, as a proportion of the members here than in the general population. I wondered whether I was imagining this, the wish being father to the thought, but another member confirmed that this was her impression also. Similarly on the marches, there is a significant Christian presence, again more than is present in the general population, or so it appears to me. It is also worth noting that this is true of Reddit as well. What you will NOT find, either in this site, on Reddit or on the marches is any senior cleric. Welby is quite willing to sell ‘The Big Issue’ (thus depriving REAL sellers of an income) but neither he nor any of his bench of bishops will participate in forums like this, still less on the marches or demos. It was noticeable that the open letter to Johnson put together by the ‘Irreverends’ was signed by at least 1260 people; the signatories were drawn from what I call the lower levels of the Church hierarchy, and I mean no disrespect to any of them.

Pope Francis is fully consistent with Catholicism
Actually he’s a heretic
Actually, he is fully consistent with faith and altruism
Isn’t what we are seeing here just one religion (Christianity) being partly supplanted by a new one (Covidianism)?
Yes
Indeed. Churches have turned into Covidian temples, places of devil worship.
That is possibly the subject of a much longer article. However it’s worth pointing out a few similarities between lockdown and religion:-
In both cases we’re asked to trust without question the wisdom/authority of so called experts.
We’re asked to have faith that what we’re being told is correct even though there is no real world evidence to support the claims being made, e.g. 500,000 people will die without a lockdown.
Even when real world evidence, e.g. dead people don’t rise again, countries/states that didn’t lockdown didn’t suffer massively higher death rates, contradicts the claims being made we’re asked to keep on believing the claims of “those in the know”
Salvation, whether in this world or the next is possible as long as we follow the rules and make certain sacrifices or change our behaviour in certain ways.
Those who follow the rules are righteous and should be respected while those who question any part of the narrative are heretics who should be banished to the margins of society.
Considering the above points I think a very strong case can be made that lockdown full fills a certain longing that used to be filled by religion.
I think that’s absolutely correct. It is said that when people cease to believe in God, they will believe in anything. Years of successful brainwashing have turned people away from Christianity in the West and consequently, that void is filled by anything and everything. Sadly in my Catholic parish, everyone is masked apart from me; I think they honestly believe that they are being good Catholics by following the ‘rules’ and keeping everyone ‘safe’. Unfortunately, the Church is highly complicit in promoting the govt’s tyranny and I don’t know a single Catholic who feels like me.
“It is said that when people cease to believe in God, they will believe in anything.” and that saying is balderdash, it denies that man has the capacity for reason.
I’m sure we’d agree on many things, but here, well, I’d doubt you’d be able to out reason the great Chesterton on that subject, who is responsible for that line. He isn’t denying reason at all in any case.
I was told that the masking, sanitising, distancing etc. which is the norm in all Catholic churches at the moment was largely at the insistence of the insurers, who were terrified (I think unnecessarily) of having some church service being labelled a “super spreader” event. I know many Catholics, including some priests, who chafe at these regulations but regard them as a price worth paying to be able to go to Mass. Let’s pray that they end soon.
not all
If you can locate a TLM, I think you will find many a soul mate.
Please don’t confuse Christianity with what masquerades as Christianity. The latter rolled over very quickly…
If a professing Christian is terrified of a virus, is content to exchange the promise of eternal life for a miserable limbo of not-death, deletes the face which is the image of God, and views his fellow men as squelching sacks of filth to be avoided with horror, that man (or woman) is not deeply religious. Or even shallowly religious. S/e is a fake, and always was.
I’m not religious myself, in the traditional sense (I lack the proper circuitry) but I think you’re right.
I’ve reading The Arabian Nights and while I realise it is fiction it’s quite striking how the characters resign themselves to great peril while commending themselves to the will of God. I imagine that kind of faith is pretty rare these days.
I think the drift towards secularism has left mankind troubled in many ways. The baby has been thrown out with the bathwater.
The behaviour of both the Clerisy and lay Christians during the pandemic does them little credit. Do you believe in the promise of the life to come or not?
A very good question and my answer is yes, but please do not tar us all with the same brush. I have railed many times at the pathetic response or rather NON-response of the Church to this ‘crisis’ and I have given several clerics whom I know quite a hard time.
There are plenty of Christians here and on Reddit and a continual theme from them is a lament for the response (if you can call it that) of the church. In my Greek group we are studying Lamentations primarily in Greek but with frequent reference to the Hebrew, Vulgate and Syriac. Send me a private message if you would like to know more.
I fully expect our apostate bishops to announce that face-nappy wearing, anti-social distancing and use of the hand gunk will continue in all churches of all denominations after July 19.
They have clearly not read the book of Revelations….
Partly because the current Pontiff is a complete and utter prat! He ‘believes’ in climate change , presumably because of his scientific training (sic). He is a socialist/communist, so sees the potential in CC and covid to further his real beliefs. He is a ‘useful idiot’ in a position of real influence to many ‘sheeple’.
He is fully consistent with Catholicism, with faith and altruism
Reiner Fuellmich’s latest video please share widely, this is very important.
https://rumble.com/vjb4i5-reiner-fuellmich-explains-the-class-action-law-suit-filed-on-june-21st-2021.html
I am not especially religious, but probably because years of boarding schools, church and chapel daily have dulled most instincts in that regard.
I recently attended the barest funeral service for my aunt, in the church where she, and my mother were baptised and married, and in whose graveyard lie many generations of my forebears. I was christened in that church.
One atavistic memory or feeling that endures within me is the belief that Man shows to, and should not hide his face before God.
Masks in church are a blasphemous abomination, and I did not conceal myself thus. The clergy, of whatever denomination, should not be agents of government, but servants of God.
The customary argument is that “masking” is a charitable action, to protect others from harm. This is nonsense in a congregation, which is (pace) a “bubble” all of its own.
Very well put.
It just shows that the churchgoers and priests of this country at any rate don’t really believe in God any longer, as if it wasn’t becoming completely obvious anyway. Otherwise how could the promise of eternal life and salvation be so easily cast aside for the banal worship of safety at any cost. As a Catholic Athiest myself I have long since lost my faith. Yet I do feel that a true believer would cast from the temple all the false prophets of Covid and denounce the evils of masking and social distancing as works of the Devil. Were I to hear of such a church near me I would happily attend and could even return to the fold, sadly…..
Deary me, surely Thomas Hardy was writing similar things about lukewarm Christians over a hundred years ago. Twas ever thus, and worth stating that such quibbles have nothing to do with what is true and what is not. As it happens at the church I go to, the current nonsense has been denounced many times, though at the same time they feel it prudent to avoid further trouble with the police and so do a bear minimum (officially anyway). For them, the most important thing is to provide the sacraments and sound teaching to those in their care.
The fact is all believe things one way or another, and not least atheists. It might be aliens, it might be climate change, it might be the Covid scare. The trick is to follow the evidence, to follow what we know to be true (one reason I’m so concerned about the corruption of science).

The leaders of the various churches are not shepherds tending the flock – they are ravening wolves. They are key enablers of the new normal, from Bergolio to Welby to Franklin Graham.
If Welby is a wolf, it’s very, very hard to discern it under his sheeple’s clothing.
What makes you say that?
There has never been a confirmed case of disease transmission through taking Communion.
I have faith in the bornless one.. in Satan.. my true lord and king.. never worn a mask.. never will.. i see truth..
I love you Satan.
i seem to remember someone like that in the news recently, wanted a lottery win for murdering a certain amount of women. dont be fooled. one thing we should be against on here is lies, guess who is the lord of lies
Prime Minister Carrie and her husband Boris are catholics. As are Tony and Cherie.
Who’d want to be one of them?
If interested in this topic, then listen to “you and yours” on R4 from this week Tuesday. An Anglican priest was telling us all about how scared she is to go back to normal with her parishioners.
I could have throttled that woman!!
An Orthodox group I’m a member of posted up a sign outside the Monastery of Agios Paisios, it read:
Η ιερα μονη αγιογ παιζιου ειναι κατα του εμβολιασμου, ραπίδ τεστ κτλ, κατα της μεταμφιεσης προσωπου – μασκοφοριας
The Holy Monastery of Agiou Paisiou is against vaccination, rapid test etc, against masking your face.
There are pockets of strong Christian resistance but it’s outside the mainstream Churchianity I think.
I have just sent a private message to you – it would be great to be in touch.
