PROLOGUE


I didn't write this prologue; public opinion did. The number of copies of
The New Montinian Church that are circulating in Mexico and abroad, and the
rapidity with which they were sold, are imposing phenomena in the religious
book field. The New Montinian Church seems to answer an imperious, urgent,
and compelling biological and psychological need. It seems to answer a void in
a desert of authentic ideas in our present world. Actually, with respect to the
drama of the Universal Church, there exists a terrifying void in the minds and
souls of men and an immense yearning to nourish themselves with the
desperately necessary food of spiritual ideas which, as expressed by Christ,
constitute an immortal bond between the Church and the Catholic Faith.


These ideas always constituted something uniform, fixed, compact, solid,
and unique. To be a Catholic was to be the same at whatever point in time and
space. Independent of this, Catholicism, without divisions of artificial and
malevolent concessions, was always and continues to be the unalterable
representation of transcendent truth. This is that truth that conducts and assures
us of immortality to enjoy the presence of God and to be reunited with our loved
ones who, in passing, left us in a sorrowful but temporary absence; that gave us
that certain and consoling feeling of being a part of one united Christendom
which emanates from one common Creator, who is Father, Redemptor, and
Judge; that makes us children of the same sublime celestial Mother, in whose
womb the Word incarnated as true God and true man to spill His redeeming
blood in a sacrifice perpetuated in the Holy Mass where the same drama is
neither related, commemorated, nor analyzed, but re-enacted in a real but
unbloody manner; that attaches us, from pole to pole, to the Holy Eucharist,
i.e., to that certain and effective, material and substantial presence of Christ
Himself in the holy form by means of the ineffable mystery of the
Transubstantiation, effected by God Himself in the words, "This is my body,
this is my blood," whereby He gave the apostles the power to do likewise.

Life on earth is a passage to eternal life, and from this earth we pray for
our departed brethren who, in turn, are praying for us. All these eternal truths
give us a common origin, destiny, and law within which to live. We Catholics
have always had the immutable conviction that to enter any church on earth
was to enter a common home, and that to pray together was to form one flock
under the same pastor, the Pope, who in speaking to us as Pope, i.e., as pastor,
teacher, and universal guide about exclusive matters of faith, was speaking to
us through the Holy Spirit, thereby maintaining the monolithic unity of the
doctrine deposited in the custody of Peter and his successors. All this is
grandiose, solemn, august, and congruent with this short life and the other
eternal life; all this was, is, and has always been something expressible in a
simple angelic form, fully and beautifully, in the Apostles ' Creed.


All this has now been interdicted, placed in doubt, and become an object
of discussion and contradiction. All the sacred teachings have become objects
of ignoble treatment, of approximations, of "broad-minded" interpretations, of
aberrations, in short, of heresies that at the base signify an immense, gigantic
and inconceivable betrayal of Christ Himself. In brief, we are beginning to live
a life of universal apostasy, which is the universal negation of revealed truth.


The contemporary world has turned its back on Christ. It begins at the
same altar where at first it is the people of God and later becomes its own god.
We live in an iconoclastic world for whom its sacred images are idols, and for
whom saints and sanctity are myths and regressions.


We live in a world much more tremendous than candid, in which one does
not conceive faith and science to be in harmony but of faith to be like a loose
rock in the mountain of science; a world of vanity, pride, arrogance, and
corruption of customs and ideals; a world in which the law of pleasure and the
law of the jungle are joined together; in brief, a world which demands the
accommodation and servitude of Christ and His Church, rather than that the
depraved and amoral world regenerate itself by a definitive readjustment to the
law of God. In effect, God is relegated to the service of the world, in a world
created and ruled by Him! By slow degrees, the modernist church with its weak
or infiltrated Pope and hierarchy have entered upon a terrifying and desolate
road, taking Catholics along with it, not the true Church which God Himself
guides, but the false one which makes of revealed truth a motif of constant
limping revision and accommodation.

Today the Church no longer feels called to conduct man to eternal life but
to worthless pursuits. It feels itself called only to make man happy on earth. It is
no longer the Ten Commandments that are of importance but rather class
struggle, better salaries, unions, irresponsible liberty, unbridled youth and sex,
wanton eroticism, heresy, and aiding and abetting Communism in its goal of
world domination. In the face of barbarity, the Church does not Christianize
but chooses to barbarize itself.


Against all these aberrations there arises Fr. Saenz Arriaga's book, The
New Montinian Church, which, like a potent flying flag, challenges the retreat
of the fraudulent Church.


Until this book was written, the world could have thought of itself as being
deluded into following the path of error, but now God has provided to him who
wishes to avail himself, all the information necessary to lift himself out of the
dark abyss. We neither know nor can know the solution, as we are but creatures
in the hands of God. Nevertheless, we have a history that originates in Christ
and over which Christ Himself presides, a Gospel that speaks to us through
Him and in which He speaks to us, a handful of apostles that represented the
yeast of the earth, a centuries-old faith that inflamed our hearts, and a pleiad of
saints who showed us the way that vain men now wish to change. Let us enter
and get to the heart of the matter! Let us be Christians of one faith and dogma,
and of one solid doctrine of salvation. Let us conduct ourselves as men, in body
and soul, just as Christ told us through the prophets of the Old Testament and
confirmed with His blood in the New Testament.

The world has one history: toward the cross and away from the cross.
Those who choose the flesh over the spirit for a few miserable days of arrogance
and pleasure, forget that each of us has but a few remaining years of life. We
should not come before God with empty hands but, at the very least, present
Him with the rich humility of an attempt, an intention, and a solicitude of being
with Him till the end of time.


For this I have put my heart and soul into writing this long prologue,
binding myself to the thesis of this book so that it may surge forth like a lantern
of light and orientation from the hands of its author.


I am but a humble journalist. In God's name, let us unite my small effort
to this gigantic effort in defense of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic
Roman Church!


In closing , we wish to remind our readers that we are not against the
Papacy but against one Pontiff (Pope Paul VI) who, for reasons only God knows, worked against the Papacy itself.

Addendum: On February 22, 1972, a precise and appropriate document
appeared and was published in various newspapers with the title, "Violence is
not the Way, Condemn Guerillas and Kidnappers," which the Archbishop of
Monterrey, Alfonso Espino Silva, addressed to his parishioners as a Lenten
message.


Reading and analyzing said important document, one clearly understands
the pure doctrine of the Catholic Church with its immutable divine principles
unchanged by political interests and untainted by the universal Communist
subversion. In this document, violence is condemned, kidnappers rebuked,
bank robberies censured and terrorism rejected, along with its underlying
doctrine of the "new redemption," whose aim is not only to terrorize society but
also to change the existing public order.


This is the Church which we traditionalists love and support, being ever
faithful to the authentic spirit of the Gospel. On the other hand, the "same"
Church has produced many inconceivable declarations of bishops and priests
whose authority is maintained by the same Pontiff who has nominated, aided,
and abetted them or who, at least, does not condemn them either openly or
secretly.

Concrete and irrefutable examples:

I. "To oppose change is to be guilty of violence -Jesuit confirms to the
clergy of Chihuahua." (Excelsior, Feb. II , 1972, p. I). In that declaration,
signed by fourteen Jesuit priests headed by the provincial, Enrique Gutierrez,
SJ., this distinguished clerical group makes a concrete eulogy for violence as
well as for peremptory and revolutionary structural change, adhering without
the least modesty and scruples to the same thesis which has just been sustained
by Bishops Almeida of Chihuahua, and Talamas of Juarez, as well as the
Reverend Fr. Arrupe, supreme leader of the Society of Jesus.


2. Adherence to the same conduct, principles and orientations on the part
of the Bishop of Juarez, Manuel Talamas Camandari. (Article by Antonio
Rius Facius, El Universal, Feb. 11,1972, p. 6).


3. Previous declaration by the Archbishop of Chihuahua, Alberto
Almeida, affirming that "institutional violence" is the cause of political
subversive violence. (Excelsior, Jan. 29, 1972, p. 4).


4. Bishop Mendez Arceo, of Cuernavaca, joins with Archbishop
Almeida of Chihuahua, in statements entitled: "He Who Wishes to Leave Cuba
is not Necessarily Bad." (Excelsior , Jan. 31 , 1972, p. 4).


The following brief, but substantial annotation is important: There exists
in Mexico an apostolic delegation whose function is, or is supposed to be, to
keep the Vatican informed of the activities of the bishops on a daily basis.
Another small observation, which many will consider to be treacherous,
appears to be of relative importance: Comparing the faithful and orthodox
declaration of Bishop Espino Silva, of Monterrey, with the turbulent and
seditious statements of Bishops Almeida of Chihuahua, Talamas of Juarez,
and Mendez Arceo of Cuernavaca, can one not legitimately deduce that there
presently exists in Mexico, as in the rest of the world, both a false and another
true Church? In the meantime, how do we reckon with the centralized authority
of His Holiness Paul VI? Well, they tell us something about these disturbing
manifestations which will soon explode throughout the world. In this
ecclesiastical melange which we are tragically experiencing, the world is being
crucified under the hammer and sickle ... and the cross. In the history of
Christian mankind, this is like a frontal assault by the synagogue, not only to
conquer, but also to erase Calvary and the redeeming punishment of mankind
itself from the map.

TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE


Fr. Joaquín Sáenz y Arriaga, S.J., Ph.D. was born October 12, 1899,
ordained a Jesuit priest in April, 1930, and died in April, 1976. An acclaimed
sentinel and guardian of the Rock of St. Peter, he held doctorates in philosophy,
theology and Canon Law. An active and prodigious traditionalist writer, he
authored or co-authored more than fifty books exposing the neo-gnosticism of
the Post-Conciliar Church, including such well-known texts as Sede Vacante
(The Vacant Chair), For Christ and Against Christ, The New Mass Is Not the One
Catholic Mass, The Plot Against the Church, etc. A dedicated servant of Christ,
his love of God and mankind propelled him to write the present comprehensive
exposé against the occult conspiracy. A shining star of the Jesuit Order and the
Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, he first published La Nueva Iglesia
Montiniana on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15, 1971. This was
subsequently translated and published in Italian, creating such a furor within
liberalized Church circles that it even brought about an invalid
excommunication, handed down by a bishop who did not have jurisdiction over
Fr. Saenz and who did not call a tribunal to hear the case.


It is hoped that the timely and long-awaited publication of this book on
August 15, 1985 will provide the reader with enough historical insight to
appreciate the nature of the pagan anti-Christian conspiracy which is at work
against the Church. For further elaboration, I refer the reader to the following
indispensable books:


1) The Plot Against the Church, Maurice Pinay. (Nom de plume of Fr. Sáenz and
several co-authors).
2) Freemasonry and the Vatican, Léon de Poncins.
3) The World Order, Eustace Mullins.
4) The Unholy Alliance, Frank Perida.
5) Secret Societies and Subversive Movements, Nesta Webster.
6) Liturgical Revolution, Michael Davies.
7) Dope, Inc. , Goldman, Steinberg & Kalimtgis.
8) The New Dark Ages Conspiracy, Carol White.
9) Spiritual Communism, Helen Peters.


In conclusion, it is to be made clear that neither the author nor the
translator are indiscriminately attacking or vilifying any religious, racial,
national, political or social group, per se, but only those elitist individuals and
opportunists who, in order to keep their position of world power and control,
are using their power of office, influence and money to transform mankind from
an active, healthy and divinely oriented progressive society, to a sick, drugged
state of moral regression, secular humanism, political impotence, social
anarchy and economic slavery. This so-called "New World Order" is, in reality,
a continuation of the old pagan Babylonian world order system, as exemplified
by the League of Nations and the United Nations. This "New Dark Age
Conspiracy," which is centered in London, the capital of the "neo-pagan
Roman Empire," must be stopped in order to prevent a return to a one world
barbaric slave state under a rigid elitist control. The destruction of religion, the
decimation of half of the world's population, and the abject enslavement of the
remainder are but three unholy facets of their satanic pentagram, the other two
being the evils of both material and spiritual Communism, which they have
been promoting under the guise of their Hegelian dialectic. Now is the time for
all men of good faith and good will, Christian and non-Christian, to learn, to
know, to teach and to act, not only for ourselves and the present, but for our
children and the future of all mankind, for whatsoever we sow on Earth, we
shall reap in Heaven.

CHAPTER I

THE EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS OF BOGOTA AND THE NEW POST-CONCILIAR CHURCH


Most chronicles and reports about the International Eucharistic Congress
held in Bogota at the end of August, 1968, and enhanced by the presence of His
Holiness Pope Paul VI, the first Pope to have stepped on Latin-American soil,
were, without a doubt, extremely flattering, insofar as certain liberal Catholic
media are concerned. The Congress, according to these media, was extremely
successful, "a triumph without triumphalism," as the Osservatore Romano
remarked.


Setting aside partisan exaltation, however, and analyzing just the reality
of facts, I conclude that this most important religious event showed confusing,
disquieting, and dangerous features. If it were not for the possibility that my
words could be construed and censored as being contemptuous or critical, I
would almost dare to summarize my opinion of the Colombian Congress by
defining it as a second and spiritual "Bogotazo" that shattered and is still
shattering not only Colombia but all of Latin America. This Congress was the
call to arms of the planned subversion of the Latin American countries. Its
consequences are still not predictable, as they depend upon the energy with
which the legitimate governments of our countries will defend our jeopardized
sovereignties.


In my opinion, the Congress was a solemn and official introduction of the
program and goals of the reformed post-Conciliar Church to the Catholic and
non-Catholic world. The air was saturated with liberal progressivism, and the
Eucharistic issues were either eliminated or relegated to a secondary position.
Human and social problems were given priority over the divine problems of the
glory of God and the salvation of souls.


Of course, the Holy Eucharist was mentioned, but not in order to probe its
ineffable mysteries, to praise its excellence, to help us appreciate the
inexhaustible treasury of the love of Christ, to invite us to live more Eucharistic
lives, or to adhere more closely to the cross and the Master's life. Such issues
were used as convenient bait, so as to focus the issues and deeds of the Congress
toward human and secular subjects, such as underdevelopment, the misery of
the poor classes, and the socialization of Latin America, which had been
decreed during secret talks at the Vatican. At the Congress and at the
subsequent Latin American Episcopal Conference (LAMEC) meeting, it was
easy to notice the decisive influence of the "Conciliar experts," luminaries of
modern theology who, for the sake of peace, development, and material
progress, are ready to silence the voice of faith, to conceal and deny some of our
cherished dogmas, and to even become allies of the sons of iniquity.
