Fr. Paul Kramer: In 2011 The Consecration Of Russia Is To Take Place

GREBBER, Pieter de
Triumphal Arch with Bearers of the Spoils of War
1648

What should we expect to see in the coming years? Peace in the Church, or war? The victory of good and its long-awaited return, or a new tempest? Will the little wave manage to grow enough to prevail someday? The assurance that the promise of Our Lady of Fatima will be fulfilled—“in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph”—does not necessarily or directly resolve our question, because it is still quite possible that we will have to first pass through an even greater tribulation before the long-awaited triumph occurs….+ Bernard Fellay May 1, 2010, Feast of Joseph the Worker

The Etymologies of Isidore of Seville

Triumphs (De triumphis)

1. Every realm in this world is procured in wars and extended by victories. A victory (victoria) is so called because it is attained by ‘force’ (vis), that is, ‘strength’ (virtus). This is the law of nations, to expel ‘force by force’ (vim vi), for a victory acquired by guile is wicked. Asure victory is either the killing or the complete despoiling of the enemy, or both. But the victory attained at huge cost is not happy, and this is why Sallust (Histories 3.29) praises generals who win victory with an unbloodied army.

2. A ‘solemnprocession' (pompa) is a term that takes its meaning from the Greek word "lead in a procession", that is, to be publicly displayed. But a victory precedes a procession, because the first thing for those going into combat is a votive offering for victory.

3. A triumph is due to someone who attains a complete victory, and a trophy for a half-complete one, because he has not yet attained a complete victory, for he has not captured, but routed the enemy. but writers confuse these terms. Tranquillus (i.e. Suetonius, Prata 109), however, says that triumphus is the preferred term in Latin, because he who entered the city in a triumph would be honored by a threefold judgment: in granting a triumph for a general it was customary for the army to judge first, the senate second, and the people third.

4. it was moreover the custom of the Romans that these making their triumph would ride in chariots, because the early generals would go into battle thus equipped.Further, whoever conquered in combat would be crowned with a gilded palm-wreath, because the palm has thorns, but whoever laid the fleeing enemy low without combat would get a laurel wreath, because that tree is without thorns.

5. Moreover, those triumphing were clothed in the purple toga embroidered with palms, and would carry a staff (scipio) with a scepter in their hand in imitation of the victory of Scipio, because his blind father would walk in the forum leaning on a staff. On this scipio would sit an eagle, to signify that by victory the triumphant ones approached celestial greatness.

6. Hence the victors would be smeared all over with red pigment, as if in imitation of the appearance of divine fire. However, they would be accompanied by a hangman, to signify that, they might still be forcibly reminded of their human mediocrity.

7. An army may be wiped out in two ways, by wholesale slaughter or by dispersal. Sallust (fr. 6): "The enemy," he says, "would be crushed, or dispersed." And Vergil speaks thus of both ways. By slaughter (Aen. 1.69):

And sink the swamped ships.

By dispersal (Aen. 1.70):

Or drive them apart and scatter their bodies in the sea.

8. Pillage from the enemy consists of botty, plunder, spoils, and botty-shares. Botty (praeda) is so called from plundering (praedari). Plumder (manubiae), because it is taken away by hand (manus). Also spolis (exuviae) are so named from 'strip off' (exuere), because they are stripped from bodies. And booty-shares (pars) are so called from the equitable (par) division of spoils according to the rank of the person and a fair judgement of their efforts. The word 'spolis' (spolia) itself is from 'garments' (pallium), as if the word were expallia (i.e. "unclothings"), for they are stripped away from the vanquished.

It is 2012 & the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is not here. Father Paul Kramer told the world in 2005 that World War III would break out in 2008 and that by 2011 the Consecration of Russia would take place. 2011 was also 'the beginning of the period of peace spoken of by Our Lady of Fatima. The period of chastisement may continue past 2011, but by 2013 the chastisement will have ended and this may be the actual year of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart.'

What happened? Fr. Paul Kramer relied (so he says)on the prophetic words of an un-named German Priest/Mystic that he overheard in a telephone conversation that took place in the room where Fr. Paul Kramer was a guest. Now considering that the German Priest/Mystic was on the phone to a party that was not Fr. Paul Kramer one can only surmise that the third party told Fr. Kramer everything that the German Priest/Mystic said during the conversation. Fr. Paul Kramer then proceeded to tell the whole world about this alleged prophecy. Well as everyone knows this prophecy failed. But that did not change the reasoning of Fr. Paul Kramer and his world view. To sum up his world view of total destruction before the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary can take place:

From the evidence we have discussed, this much at least seems clear: The Church will undergo a great apostasy among many of Her members, which is plainly already underway. Then there will be a world war in which much of the world’s population will die, the Church will be persecuted as never before and driven underground, and Rome itself may possibly be devastated. This is the scenario that fits perfectly the Third Secret vision, where the Pope is executed and prominent churchmen and lay people have been slaughtered in a half-ruined city.

....apostasy in the Church leading to a horrible global chastisement, with much of the world’s population being extinguished almost instantaneously. - Father Kramer

The annihilation of nations and of entire peoples is to take place first before the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is to be seen - this is the world view of Fr. Paul Kramer - this is the world view that as infected many of those in the Traditionalist movement - this the cause for the lack of action of those who profess to love the Immaculate Heart of Mary - this is the reason for those who follow the world view of Fr Paul Kramer to justify their sloth - and this is their motto:

The slothful man saith: There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the midst of the streets. Prov.xxii.xiii.

If you read the above definition of Triumph by a dead Roman Catholic you would notice that the definition given is nowhere near the view or definition of Fr. Paul Kramer and his Triumph. Do you understand? If Roman Catholic men lie in wait for Fr. Kramer's hoped for chastisement to come before the Triumph takes place - if Roman Catholic men hoard food waiting for Fr. Kramer's hoped for chastisement to come before the Triumph takes place - If Roman Catholic men stockpile weapons waiting for Fr. Kramer's hoped for chastisement to come before the Triumph takes place then what you have is no Triumph at all. Do you understand this?

To make it more simple - if you sit on your ass waiting for your neighbor to perish in some chastisement (of course you remain unharmed for some mysterious reason that only you imagine) before you head outside to declare your Triumph - it is not a Triumph at all but mere folly. I for one do not want any part of Fr. Kramer's hoped for 'Triumph' What this Priest spreads as his definition of 'Triumph' is not a triumph as the Roman Catholic Church defines it nor is it a Triumph as the Immaculate of Mary defines it - but Fr. Kramer's own personal definition of 'Triumph' from his own mind. May Fr. Paul and other like minded men wake up:

A heavy thunderclap broke my deep sleep
so that I started up like one
shaken awake by force
..a brightness broke my veil of sleep,
as did the call: 'Arise, what are you doing?'
