The faithful Catholics associated with Integrity and Action promptly knelt in the hope of receiving the Apostolic Benediction whilst the surrounding multitudes of a new religion, after a stunned moment of incomprehension, continued to clap, cheer and scream like little girls at a pop concert.
Upon arising from their knees the thirty or so supporters of Integrity and Action raised a small forest of majestic Catholic flags and banners to a raucous, but prayerful, thrice-repeated chant of "Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat!"
Hearing the swelling Catholic chant from amongst the sea of pop-generation and TV-vegetated post-conciliar new religionists the pope-mobile came to a halt and His Holiness raised himself up to acknowledge the little island of traditional Catholic flags and the vocal faithful holding them.
A new refrain arose powerfully from the faithful Catholics: "Sancte Pie Decime, gloriose patrone, ora, ora, pro nobis!", at which point Pope Benedict XVI, who had spent much of his visit to Britain in a series of modernist-style ecumenical gatherings, promptly sat down and sped-off as fast as the pope-mobile would
carry him!
Such was the concluding act of Integrity and Action's most recent activity: Operation Hyde Park.Around three-dozen Integrity and Action supporters spent several hours distributing literature amongst the estimated 100,000 people gathering in and around Hyde Park, in central London, for the pope's visit.
An exhausting afternoon's work of handing out box-fulls of literature, of discussing and sometimes having to argue the defense of Christ's holy priesthood in regard to vile and lying media spin about widespread clerical sex abuse, and even the occasional dodging of the odd over-zealous policeman attempting to stop I&A leafleting and wanting to take names and addresses, culminated in the distribution of approximately eight thousand clerical abuse leaflets, two thousand "SSPX and Tradition" leaflets, and two hundred and fifty "Time Bombs of the Second Vatican Council".
Two of our team were interviewed by Danish Television and able to present the truth on the Child Abuse scandal and discuss the fight for Truth and Tradition within the Church.
We also made official complaints about the anti Catholic protestors within the park and managed to get some of them removed. There were several opportunities to discuss the Faith with the handful of Protestants there and attempt to enlighten them in the error of their ways.
The afternoon's activity was undoubtedly a great success for Integrity and Action in its battle against all-comers in Hyde Park: materialism and atheism; hedonism and sexual perversion; moral relativism; the vile and malicious mass media; false ecumenism, religious liberty and other errors of Vatican II; pop-concert 'catholicism' - Integrity and Action took them all on and surely left its mark in the battle of Hyde Park.
Pray for those who received our literature, and for those struck by the presence of militant Catholics amongst their midst, that they may respond to graces that Our Lord has offered them.
Christus Vincit! Christus Regnat! Christus Imperat!
Sancte Pie Decime, ora pro nobis!
Integrity & Action would like to thank all its activists, friends and supporters who came along to make this a success, a few of whom are shown below.
We have already started to receive supportive e-mails from people who received the leaflet on the media lies about Child Abuse and who would like to be sent some more for distribution among friends, families and colleagues.
Great work! I look forward to hearing more from this encouraging column!
ReplyDeleteHi. Sounds like you did some good work on Saturday. I was tempted to join you but had already decided that I wanted to attend the papal vigil. I can't comment on the people that you encountered but, just for the record, inside Hyde Park at least, I did not feel like I was surrounded by people screaming like girls at a pop concert. I had feared that it might be like that, that there would be mass hysteria, but actually, all things considered it was relatively calm. We cheered for the Pope's arrival but once the music and Popemobile stopped we fell quiet. I was actually struck by how solemn it felt. There was some brief cheering on a couple of occasions during the Pope's speech, but it felt appropriate as it was in recognition and appreciation of what was said. It certainly wasn't of the pop concert kind. None of this changes the need for leafleting and other actions and of course there were things about the event that really should have been done differently. Nevertheless, I write in the hope that your readers may be interested to hear an account from inside the park too.
ReplyDeleteGood Stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly seemed to me like we were surrounded by screeming girls at a pop concert, after His Holiness passed us we couldn't see anything for the crowds running past us trying to take more photos.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I somehow managed to miss all the photos! o_0
I agree. The various video clips of the popemobile's journey into Hyde Park and then into the secured area, which can be viewed on youtube, all show the truth of it.
ReplyDeleteIt was certainly a case of Pop Idol far more than 'Pope Idol'.
The Integrity & Action militants appear to be the only people to kneel when His Holiness passed by. Everyone else, as youtube clearly shows, whether in the secured area or without, appeared to treat the Successor of Peter as just another celebrity to clap, cheer and scream hysterically at.
Addendum to the blog report:
ReplyDelete5,000 SSPX and Tradition leaflets were printed and all 5,000 were distributed either at Hyde Park or outside other venues where crowds gathered to see the pope during the days that he spent in London.
Special thanks are due to the generous family who not only had them printed but who also distributed them amongst the crowds wherever the pope was due to be.
