This is what we witnessed in the Vatican reception for Donald Trump. It was a funeral dirge. An Obligata shows the need to OBLIGE (perhaps by treaty or Concordat), but it also shows the need to be a COUNTERPOINT to that obliged--a MADRIGAL, if you will,--expressed by the entire noble class in extreme somber terms; encompassing all of Europe and beyond (where Popery holds sway).

It depends upon our point of view as to whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. At the very least, it would seem to be a reprieve giving the world more time to "preach the gospel of the kingdom"; and prevent for a time, at least, the "Image of the Beast" becoming fully set up and "fixing" the time.

It was the most solemn ceremony I have ever seen. Not a smile was to be seen by a single Knight. The Cardinals were the tour guides, the power elite were somber and silent, unhappy that their power was being questioned by "new money"--a slap in the face of their very old money.

This "war" is by no means over, nor are the combatants clearly defined yet--but they will be. Everything is being exposed if we have the eyes to see.
