MEDJUGORJE: THE DEVIL
THE FOOL & THE HANGED MAN
....The fool and the
hanged man are both major arcane cards from the deck of Tarot whose author is the spirit of self or I or the Devil ..these cards
depict stages of self discovery in our life’s journey..of course this is
sorcery and condemned as error however the phenomenon at MEDJUGORJE contains
many new age notions directly related to a theology of "feel-goodism,"
"universal tolerance," and "moral relativism."...and this
is repugnant to a life of faith and the way of the cross which Jesus talks
about in his Gospels..and since MEDJUGORJE is influenced by an occult hegemony we see many similarities between the psychology of the Tarot symbolism and the spirituality seen in MEDJUGORJE...
..so we draw the parallel between the fool who seeks to
know by his own frail light of a fallen nature and the the devil who is an enemy
of the true Church and the hanged man who lives for himself..a morally relative
truth is his guide... and whose course of action is unconventional and never
untrue to itself..a selfish spirituality which sacrifices only for some private
benefit this is an enemy to true charity which lives for the Church of
Christ...
..Card zero or the
beginning of life or the spiritual journey or false conversion....the Fool....
marks the beginning of the journey as an impetuous child..a slave to whims
desires and emotions..one who has squandered reason for experience and
subjectivity… a fool is green and curious mercurial and eager…. The message of
the fool is one of untraditional choices..spurning the establishment… such a
one lives in the moment, filled with wonder and inordinate self love…the animal at the fools side signifies his servitude to the whims of his animal desires and his reliance on the lower appetites rather than reason...the sun is at his back since he has turned his back on divine reason and is guided by his own whims....we see the fool is ready to step into the void rather than to walk into the light of faith and reason..and we see much of this happening among the proponents of MEDJUGORJE..who refuse to see reason time and again....
. a Fool
is not worried about where the journey will end… a fool knows by his or her own
subjective hierarchy of self that life is lived in the moment..and that what
one feels is true and is the basis for all justified true belief…even though we
know that the body itself is fallen and lives and acquires information through
faculties which are bent on concuspiscence and so sullied…we see that the fool
will trust no one but their own heart and ravenous appetites….once he has made his mind up to turn to himself for certitude rather than God and his Church the devil is indeed not far behind....
..The hanged man is unconventional and
at odds with traditional notions of good and evil…it is not for nothing that the hanged man is depicted hung upside down as a mockery of the crucifixion..it is also apt since a soul in this state has obverted the faculties which regard Church propriety , reason and prudence...such a soul has surrendered
to its own appetites and hearts desires and so feels a counterfeit peace since
the struggle seems to be over..he is the antithesis to CHrist..such a one surrenders to the self will not to the will of God and his Church.... his ideology is hostile to a life lived by carrying
the cross of Christ…such a soul seeks its own advantage and falls prey to
consequentialism and utilitarianism…indeed the hanged man hangs himself by relying on his own ignorance and mistaking it for truth..the hanged man talks of I believe or I feel beyond what the Church deems to be true through her magisterium and her doctrine...yet this the devil passes off as enlightenment...of course such a person will take tolerance
as a virtue without realizing the ramifications of such a choice..in the end
tolerance breeds contempt and violence since there is no objective ideal to be
patterned upon..chaos ensues…however because the devil is the author of all
this counterfeit spirituality we see that under the veneer of piety and
spectacle and exploitation of Holy devotions and sacramentals of Holy Church ...in MEDJUGORJE we
have elements of the fool the hanged-man and the devil…let us pray for each
other that this dark collusion be one day brought into the light of reason…..amen
