Wanna Have A Mad Moment With God?

Cardinal Charles Bo of Yangon (Burma) is all enthused about the idea.  He gave an address centered around the Holy Family.  For the most part, his talk was rather nondescript.  However, as is often the case (we've seen enough of that in Pope Francis' writings) the poisonous blasphemies and heresies are buried within piles of verbosity.

This one occurs quite close to the beginning.  He opines that God "is not a macho monster, spewing fire and brimstone of vengeance.  He is a God intoxicated with love, indulging in extravagant sacrifice of His Son.  John captures those mad moments of God.."  (Italics mine)

Are you nauseated enough?  I put those words in italics because they are words associated with sinful qualities, particularly with sins of gluttony and imprudence.  Firstly, God is not "intoxicated" with anything.  He is Lord and Creator of the universe.  To suggest that He could ever lose command of His faculties is blasphemous.  I don't care what Cardinal Bo's reason is.  No good can be accomplished by blaspheming God.  Moreover, there is nothing "extravagant" about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.  God willed it, so it is in perfect order; extravagance denotes sinful disorder.

That whole section, dripping with disgusting effeminacy, is something that we might expect out of some new-age woman-priest-wannabe witches' coven, not from a Prince of the Church.  Even worse, there are too many laity in the Church who are transfixed over this ooze, who prefer cheap sentiment over the objective truths of our Holy Faith.

Until Catholics sober up and think seriously on these matters, our church will continue to be blown about by every whim and fancy given to us by secular culture.  We need to guard ourselves and take up the Rosary daily if we're not doing so already.

Montgomery County Rep Rattles A Tyrant's Sword

This link will take you to an account of typical tyranny foisted by Red China on its Christian citizens.  The CCP thugs are threatening to seize children of Christians and to send them to "reeducation camps".  Do you think you and your families are safe in the United States?  Maybe at one time you could take such safety for granted, but those days are fading fast, thanks to progressives who seem to be chomping at their bits as they anticipate a Biden presidency.  Please watch this and then continue to read below.

The 28-page tome that Voris mentioned is here.  Read it and download it, for they may try to take it down if they get blow-back because of it.  Let's take a look at this mess, but just a little for I don't have time to unpack 28 pages of gobbly-goop. 

• On page 2, they complain that the "religious right" is well-funded.  I'm not sure about that, but even if that were true, that's a bit of the pot calling the kettle black.  Billionaires such as George Soros, Bill Gates, Rothchilds, etc have been pouring tons of money into the leftwing coffers.  So too have unwitting Catholics as they stupidly continue to contribute to CCHD and other leftwing outfits.
• At the bottom of the same page, they deplore the imaginary imposition of religious dogmas on the public, but are quite silent about the godless imposing their immorality on people of faith, such as the bakers, florists, etc who are being sued by perverts for not facilitating their fake "weddings".
• On page 2, they call upon Biden et al to "educate the American public by reasonably defining what religious freedom really means".  Really?  Why, oh why, should we acquiesce to their "reasonable definition"?  And just how is that "education" to occur?  Might it be done in the style of the Chicoms as discussed in this post's first paragraph? 
• On page 14, they claim that "white Christian nationalism" is a security threat.  I suppose that's because of the terror they wreaked on Sept 11, 2001?  No, that was done by Muslims, but we see nary a word against that.  Ask yourselves some questions:
• Why is the word "white" repeatedly mentioned?  Answer - because the three progressive would-be tyrants are racist in a twisted way
• Who has been responsible for the riots of last summer?  Let's be honest - that was largely Black Lives Matter.
• Why are Christians being singled out for their vitriol?  I think the answer is very simple.  Raskin and his buddies embrace baby-slaughter, sexual perversions and the general progressive agenda.  Their agenda is inherently immoral, and Christians - faithful ones - have spoken against it.  Truth stings consciences, and their consciences are stung.  They won't obey the clear message so they lash out in resentment against those who challenge their self-deception.  That is what this whole 28-page slop is about.
• Like I said, I don't have time to unpack this entire thing in a blog post.  I urge you to read it and get a glimmer as to what we are opposing.  Pray that President Trump prevails in his bid to unearth the true election results.

One of the three would-be tyrants is Jamie Raskin.  This member of the US House of Representatives hails from lower Montgomery County, MD.  My local readers, particularly in lower Montgomery County, have a duty to call this man out for his bigotry against Christians.  In that entire tome, I did not see one call for atheists to stop shoving their anti-God agenda down the throats of Christian businesses.  That kind of bigotry is simply unacceptable in these United States.

Faithful Catholics Decrying The Hierarchy's Complicity In The Global Reset

In addition to Bishop Schneider, other Catholics have sounded the alarm regarding the de facto apostacy that has been made all too evident in light of today's pandemic.  Indeed, much of the hierarchy - including Pope Francis himself - seems to be in league with those who are using and who probably engineered the pandemic to bring about the reset touted by the World Economic Forum.

Archbishop Vigano released a public letter a few days ago that exposes some common underpinnings behind various happenings in the world and the Church.  He also makes no bones that the Vatican hierarchy, as well as many bishops, are in cahoots with the new world order.  He is quite right in calling the current Vatican structure a "den of thieves" with:

• the pope's current alliance with Netflix to shill for his new book.  This is the same Netflix that produced "Cuties" by exploiting and sexualizing little girls and produced a "comedy" that pictures Jesus as gay and Our Lady as a pothead.
• their push for the covid vaccines that use body parts from murdered babies
• running interference for anti-God political leaders

Rorate Caeli published a letter from a sister who must remain anonymous to protect her community from retaliation.  In it, Sister elaborates on the immorality of the compulsory mask mandates and its other harmful effects.  She rightly points out its dehumanizing effects and its basis in the loss of supernatural faith.

In this LifeSiteNews article, we see an interview with Father Chad Ripperger.  The three men are discussing the legitimacy of the current vaccines (or more accurately, the illegitimacy).  This truly is worth a listen as Father delves into traditional Catholic moral theology in his considerations of the topic.  One point that Father makes is that the use of fetal cells constitutes theft of their bodies.

To be honest, one has to be completely dishonest with him/herself if they don't accept that the election fraud and this covid hype isn't part and parcel of the attempt to get us to forget our dignity as God's children and the blessings that were part of the United States, in order to cajole us into swallowing this great reset. 

Bishop Schneider On The Covid Vaccine Witchs' Brew

 Notice that this video is posted not on youtube but Rumble. Youtube has seen fit to censor the videos of LifeSiteNews, most likely because giggles is also towing the progressive line for the tin-horn dictators (that's why I deliberately misspelled the name).  This deserves a listen.

The Newfangled Corona Vaccines - What's In It For The US Hierarchy?

Much of the world is waiting with bated breath for this much-touted "wonderous" vaccine.  They think that once they inject themselves with this miraculous substance, they will once again be freed from their de facto slave masters to live their lives.  They already can live their lives without the permission of the demagogues, if they just grow some backbones, but that's another discussion.

Pfiser and Moderna are the two leading manufacturers of these magic elixirs.  However, the tiny bodies of murdered babies have been used in the development of these things.  They claim that no fetal cells are actually in the vaccines.  True enough, but, BUT, fetal cells have been used in the testing of these potions.  However you slice it, the bodies of murdered children were used in the development of these things.

That doesn't seem to bother the nation's bishops in the least.  Read this latest disgrace to spew forth from the USCCB.  In a nutshell, they are saying, "yeah, we know that there was use of morally compromised cell lines, but the pandemic is so scary and evil that the remote cooperation with baby slaughter is actually an act of charity".  Pity that the aborted children don't seem to register a blip on their radar screens, but I don't think they have for quite some time.

Something, and I think it's lots of money, is inducing these bishops to poo-poo basic Catholic morality.  What they are doing is known as cooperating with sin, and such cooperation, especially when done knowingly and willingly, is a partaking in the guilt of that sin - in this case, the mortal sin of baby-murder.  The Church defines nine ways in which this cooperation can be effected; here is the list.  Take a look at numbers 1 and 7.  The bishops are counseling the faithful to participate in the ill-gotten fruits of the slaughter of babies.

Archbishop Vigano has some pointed words regarding the vaccine and other matters, pointing to their sinister underpinnings. As you read them, you may wish to bear the video from Friday Dec 18th in mind.  Judie Brown of American Life League also has words of wisdom and warning regarding these vaccines.

On many levels, the ingestion of these vaccines would be foolish and sinful.  The testing on these has been rather haphazard and immoral.  Why would one want to accept such a vaccine that has been hastily and immorally produced?  The disease against which it would allegedly protect has a fatality rate of less than 1%, and even those are found mostly in those with other co-morbidities.  Even more insidious is that the usage of them would justify the procurement of slaughtered babies to produce them.

At one time, I might have been inclined to chalk up the bishops' capitulation to these vaccines as simply a lack of moral courage.  While that may be present to some effect, I must conclude, after so many stunts these fellows have pulled, that they are active participants in the promulgation of the vaccine to help facilitate the new world order and perhaps to gain some financial reward.

Addendum:  Here is an enlightening post from my friend and colleague at Les Femmes.  Like her, I too have looked askance at the complete lack of mention of common-sense measures that we can take to increase our natural immunities.  Vitamin supplements, as she noted, are necessary and readily available.  A general proper diet and adequate sleep are also important.  Why, oh why, do we hear - ad infinitum et ad nauseum - about "masks" and "social distance", but nary a peep regarding these measures? Why does hydroxicloroquine remain a taboo topic of discussion?  Could it be precisely because they are cost-effective?

All Roads Lead To China

Michael Hichborn put out this video today with the title quoted in this post's title.  With Jim Maughan, Hichborn delves into the pivotal role that Communist China has played in the attempted theft of the presidential election away from Donald Trump.  As an aside, on the two pro-Trump marches that I've attended in Washington DC, I couldn't help but notice the presence of many Chinese people calling for the abolition of the Chinese Communist Party; this video gives me a greater appreciation of their reasons for attending the pro-Trump rallies.

Hichborn not only asks us to watch it, but to pass this along to others.  We know that not only will the mainstream media try to stifle its message, but so will the progressives who occupy many of the chanceries in the US.  Keep praying those daily Rosaries.

Run! Run! It's The Attack Of The Giant Mutant Lego Creatures!

Yes, this hideous monstrosity is what the Vatican is using for a Nativity set this Christmas.  It makes a horrible, mocking caricature of Our Lord's birth.  See here for an analysis of the occultic symbolisms in the various creatures displayed in this scene.

The only positive thing I can say about it is that at least it doesn't smack of homosexual pornography, as did the artistic slop from 2017.

How The Archdiocese Of Washington Mocked Our Lady Of Guadalupe

The Archdiocese of Washington live-streamed that travesty of a Mass and it remains on youtube.  Cardinal Gregory was the main celebrant at this Mass at St Matthew's.  The entrance is more of a pagan procession, with the pagan-originated prancing up to the altar, with garish headgear and loud drumming.  Of course there were the ubiquitous bowls, billowing forth smoke, being processed up to the altar.  What is with those things?  Rarely do we see a parody of a Mass without them, but I digress.  Then a number of them, in the sanctuary, line up before the altar and inflict more hideous dancing on the congregation and those watching online.

At another Mass I would lament that people were kept away.  In this case, the small number of people was clearly a blessing.

Below is the video of the Mass.  It starts normally enough, with the Cardinal and other priests, deacons, etc processing in (of course, he had to be applauded as a new cardinal).  However, the pagan debacle begins at the 1:07:12 mark.  Be prepared to turn down your speakers!

This travesty is a great advertisement for the Traditional Latin Mass.  There is none of  that "celebrate this and that culture" garbage, just the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Dec 13th Jericho March

The #JerichoMarch #StopTheSteal rally in DC happened Saturday, Dec 12, Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.  Most of the activities, including the three concurrent marches, happened in the morning.  Because I was at my usual spot in front of a local abortion mill, I was not able to make those events. 

After I finished my time at the mill, I took the Metro to the Smithsonian stop.  I had an inkling that I had missed most of the events since I saw Trump supporters on the Metro who were leaving the area.  I saw more of them departing as I left the stop - but several thousands still remained.  The picture to the right, from the facebook page of a friend of mine, shows the crowds on the mall during the earlier hours.

I passed by a rally going on in front of the Smithsonian and proceeded to the Capitol and the Supreme Court building, where I knew Jericho Marches had occurred.  Several thousands still lingered.  As I arrived, so did two progressive hecklers on bikes.  One of them had some kind of recorder strapped to her back that was playing loudly the words "f*** Trump".  That's all it said.  The other carried some little cardboard sign that didn't say much of anything.  They were promptly contradicted by Trump supporters.  One of them told the hecklers that he respected their right to be there.  Indeed, the hecklers must have known that such would have been the mindset of us all.  Others of their ilk don't extend to us the same courtesy: more on that later.

Here's some amusing "street theater", in the person of the man in the skeleton costume.  The sad thing is that there are many progressives who did precisely that during the election, and probably cast more than nine votes.

As I was leaving and headed towards Union Station, I spotted DC police at the intersection of Constitution and First getting into riot gear.  This was in the area where the antifa person attacked a Trump supporter at the rally last month.  They were clearly anticipating trouble.  Several hours later, trouble did happen at McPherson Square, where antifa thugs stabbed four Trump supporters.

I saw one very important display in front of the Supreme Court, below.  These ladies have the right idea in calling to mind Our Lady of Fatima and her requests.

The fight for our nation, and by extension western civilization, is far from over.  Above all, our Rosaries and prayers are needed.

Carhart's Catastrophe Count Continues To Climb - Class Action Suit To Be Filed On Behalf Of Abortion-Injured Women

 When Leroy Carhart was slaughtering babies in Germantown MD a few years back, he sent approximately 10 women to the hospital due to his careless blundering.  One woman died.  This pattern was repeated at his Nebraska location, with one woman dying there.  I remember quipping in one of my posts that the Germantown condo management should just put a reserved-ambulance parking space in front of his mill.  When he moved to Bethesda, some of us passed out some flyers wherein we warned the neighbors to get used to the sight and sound of ambulances at his Wildwood location.

Sure enough, the ambulances are pulling in with some regularity.  Below is a Live Action video detailing how two women were severely injured by Carhart, to the point of their lives being put in danger.  I only regret that there was little mention of the horror wreaked upon the murdered babies.

Operation Rescue has more details of these two incidents, plus a rather long list of his previous medical disaster - a list that will continue to grow as long as he continues to slaughter babies.

One key fact that I don't think OR touched upon is precisely what caused the injuries of these two particular women.  Both these women were given a drug to ingest, called misoprostol or cytotec.  These are part of the RU486 abortion procedure and they operate by causing violent contractions of the uterus.  In both the video and the OR account, you can see how their wombs literally contorted around themselves and the babies, causing the ruptures.

A class-action lawsuit is being prepared on behalf of the hundreds (if not thousands) of women injured by this drug cocktail.  Please visit abortioninjured.com if you were injured by this drug or know someone who was.

Important Information Regarding The Election

Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue published a piece on what the current election debacle means for pro-life activism and the babies.  I will add that this will greatly determine whether or not the progressives implement their diabolical plans for their atheistic one-world government.  Towards the end she gives excellent suggestions as to what we can do to assist in the effort to clean up our electoral process.

Please read it carefully, and watch the video embedded in that article.  In that video, President Trump outlines many manifestations of fraud that occurred during the election time.  We all need to have eyes and ears open as we pray our Rosaries.

More Developments In The Examination Of the Election Debacle

We can rejoice that President Trump is not backing down in this fight for the elections.  At stake is not only his next four years, but the integrity of future US elections.  If the progressives get away with this election theft and are successful in their evil quest, we will never have another truly free and honest election in this country ever again.  They will tighten the noose about our necks with both wrath and impunity.  Our God-given rights to live and speak openly as Christians will go up in flames, as will countless souls experience eternal flames in the next life.

There definitely are signs of hope.  The evil is being exposed.  In Maricopa County AZ, a GOP poll watcher testified that she saw machines switch Trump votes to Biden votes.  The state GOP chair was allowed by a judge to examine 100 ballots.  After she discovered that 2 of them were switched from Trump to Biden, the judge is allowing a larger number to be examined.  Bear in mind that Biden allegedly beat Trump in AZ by only 10,000 votes.

A group of PA House Republicans are calling for the withdrawal of vote certification and their naming of Presidential electors.  They are simply asserting the authority granted to them in their state's constitution to guard against electoral corruption.

Below I will post video of a GA Senate hearing, where a Trump lawyer shows video from Georgia's State Farm Arena showing that poll watchers were evicted and then suitcases full of "ballots" were brought from hiding, with the ballots being feed into the tallying machines.  If that isn't cheating, what is it?  In response, Governor Kemp is calling for a signature audit of all ballots.

Please keep praying your Rosaries, not only that the actual victor be made known, but that the integrity of our electoral system be preserved and the filth purged and perpetrators punished.

Common Ground With Pro-Abortion Supporters Is A Deadly Myth

I wrote several times in the past about the futility of seeking "common ground" with pro-abortion people and/or those who vote for pro-abortion politicians.  After a rather startling and distasteful exchange I had with someone (a former pro-life leader) on facebook a few days ago, I must now conclude that any attempt to seek such "common ground" will be fraught with great spiritual and intellectual peril.

The background is this.  A friend who is caring for a disabled relative complained of treatment that she received when she went about in public without a mask.  I will call her "Mary".  The former pro-life leader, whom I will call "Bill", lashed out at her with over-the-top venom and vitriol.  He accused Mary of "attacking her relative", about to "have his blood on her hands", etc.  I and a number of others took him to task.  Mary pulled down his remarks; I don't blame her a bit.  I remain flummoxed at the vehemence with which he addressed Mary simply because she didn't go along with being treated like a sheep.

As mentioned earlier, Bill was a pro-life leader several years ago.  He's since embraced some liberal causes and has voiced disappointment that other pro-life people, particularly those of us who remained on the front lines of activism, didn't follow his lead.  He made mention of trying to seek "common ground" with pro-abortion proponents.  A key problem with that ill-advised attempt is that it lends moral legitimacy to the pro-abortion position, a legitimacy that is completely erroneous in every way, rendering that attempt immoral on its face.  Moreover, I have seen other pro-life people, similarly deluded, befuddled in their thinking to such great extents that they now embrace inherently immoral positions.

Here is a perfect "case-in-point" to illustrate that danger.  There is an outfit called "Catholic Common Ground Initiative".  That link is to its website.  When I visit sites like this, I always examine its leadership and the people with whom they collaborate and/or honor.  Right away you'll notice that this cabal is the brainchild of Cardinal Bernardin.  Other notables who pollute(d) its leadership include Cardinals Gregory, Mahoney and Tobin, and honorees such as John Carr, Carolyn Woo, etc.  You get the picture.  You take up with dogs, you take up their manners.

The meme in this post is absolutely true.  That can be hard to acknowledge when the pro-abortion mentality is found amongst one's relatives and friends, but the truth must be faced.  We must treat them with respect and dignity, of course, but realize that they have embraced objective evil.  The Spiritual Works of Mercy include "instruct the ignorant" and "rebuke the sinner".  We want to see them attain heaven, and they can do so only by repentance and conversion.  Charity of the "tough love" variety may be in order.

Wilton Gregory, First African American Cardinal - His Claim To Fame

 As of today, Archbishop Wilton Gregory is now a cardinal.  As prince of the church, he will vote in the next papal enclave, if he hasn't attained the age of 80 years before then.  I realize it is an unpleasant thought, but it is what it is.

The latest issue of the Catholic Standard is devoted to this coronation, crowing about the new cardinal.  Of course they have to point out Gregory's race.  So much for putting race behind us!  In this issue appears an interview between Gregory and Mark Zimmerman, editor of the Standard.   The article indicates that the interview is about Gregory's race as much as his achievements.  When asked about the racial unrest and violence that plagued many Democrat-run cities this past summer, Gregory had this to say: Well first of all, I am sorry when those protests go violent or destructive, but I understand the frustration that energizes them.."  Please take note of two things:

1. Gregory did not condemn the violence directly as being inherently sinful, stating that the ends do not justify criminal means (the ends themselves, being Marxist-engineered, are debatable themselves).  People were killed, including black police officers.  I suppose Gregory doesn't think their black lives matter?
2. Actually, the second point will require its own paragraph instead of a mere bullet point. So...

Notice how he was so quick to interject that "but", as though he is trying to minimize the guilt of the perpetrators of the violence.  Just suppose he was asked about some rogue activists who blew up abortion mills or shot abortionists.  Do you suppose he would have soft-pedalled those acts of violence as he did the riots last summer?  Of course not!  He would have condemned outright those acts of violence, without any jibber-jabber about the "frustration that energized them", and he would have been correct.  He is engaging in unconscionable double-standards here.  Why didn't Zimmerman call him out, as any decent journalist should have?  I digress.

So the Standard is waxing all giddy about the "first African American Cardinal". Hmmm..  I remember when another black cardinal gave a commencement address at Georgetown many years ago.  This was Cardinal Arinze.  He, however, spoke like an actual Prince of the Church, extolling the Church's teachings on life, marriage, sexuality, family life.  For his fidelity to the Magisterium, he was treated shamefully by Georgetown faculty, many of them walking out on his address.  So, in Washington DC, a prelate must tow the progressive talking points in order to be accepted by the powers that be.  Gregory excels at parroting the progressive spin, so they adore him.

The swamp known as the DC chancery remains as fetid as it always has.  Keep withholding your contribution dollars from the chancery, but keep praying for their repentance.

A California Pastor Thinking Outside Of The Box

 In his exercise of dictatorial hubris, Governor Nuisance of CA determined in his pea-brained wisdom that churches do not provide "essential service", but strip clubs do.  Understanding that the legal definition of a strip club is when the one on stage removes at least one clothing article, an innovative pastor temporarily designated his church as a "strip club".  Read the account here and watch its video.

After fulfilling the legalities, the pastor goes on to deliver his homily.  Call it what you will, it's a clever way to get around Nuisance's rules and poke some fun at him as well.

Hogan Does Hitler Quite Well - For The Great Reset

What do I mean?  I mean these acts of tyranny that allegedly took effect at 5pm one Wednesday November 25th.  Read the article for yourself.  They include:

• Mandatory masking in all outside public areas
• No more than 10 people at any gathering - even in private homes
• Checkpoints by MD State Police to make sure we are behaving like good little sheep
• A "snitch line" - so that "violators" can be reported to Dear Leader and his storm troopers

We are more and more resembling Red China.  In the name of "public health" the government is morphing into a monster that is infinitely worse than any virus.  We have seen many signs that his supposed power has gone to his head.   Listen to this cow plop of his, saying we have no constitutional right not to wear a mask.  The author of that article has it correctly.  He has no constitutional authority to dictate what we wear on our bodies.

So now it becomes an act of civil disobedience just to walk around in public like a normal, free citizen of the United States.  Yet that is what we must do, as opposed to accepting his boot on our neck like mindless and gutless sheeple.  "He's saving lives", some might say?  What about the elderly who have literally died from loneliness, cut off from their families?  How about the despair and even suicides from the economic ruin that these tyrants have foisted on us (for our own good, of course!)?  

Maryland isn't the only state plagued by a tin-horn fuhrer full of hubris.  Think New York, California, Illinois, Oregon, Virginia.  These fools need to have their political careers terminated.  That is yet another reason why all the voting fraud needs to be uprooted.  We need to pray of course.  We also need to disobey laws inherently tyrannical.  

Many of these other states are doubling down at this time, too.  Such a coincidence!  Or maybe not!  Do the powers-that-be sense that Biden may not be strolling to the White House in January?  Are they therefore trying to hasten the Great Reset?  

I believe they are.  Below I post a video from Taylor Marshall.  He is reading the open letter from Archbishop Vigano to President Trump, warning explicitly of the Great Reset.  As you listen, bear in mind that this video was recorded before the November election.  Take note when he mentions that the reset will be initiated by mass vaccinations and that a second shut-down, such as the one in which Hogan and others have placed us, is integral to that initiation.

I understand that in response to Hogan's latest tyranny, MD Rep Dan Cox will be filing articles of impeachment against Hogan in Annapolis next week.  We need to stand behind him.  We need to flood the phone lines of Hogan with our protest.  Anyone working that snitch line should be rebuked; be civil but firm.  Record yourselves when you do, for your own protection.

Toward the end of the video, and Vigano's letter, the archbishop makes mention of good people "ready to take to the streets".  Are you, dear readers, among that number?  You must be, for the sake of your families, church, nation and perhaps your eternal salvation.

Archbishop Gregory Kissing Up To Biden

 Well, that didn't take long, did it?  There isn't yet certainty as to the outcome to the election, but Archbishop Gregory has already started bowing and scraping before Bumblin Biden.  Reuters reports that Gregory wants to seek "common ground" with Biden.  That shouldn't be too hard to find for they actually have quite a bit.  Gregory claims that they differ on abortion (by how much is anyone's guess) but judging from Gregory's already cozy associations with LGTB elements, he and Biden may well see eye to eye on those issues.  

Note in that video how Gregory aspires to be a "bridge-builder".  Now doesn't that term sound familiar?  The archbishop is in Rome at present, awaiting the bestowal of the cardinal's red hat that will be bestowed on him this coming Saturday.  While there, he openly stated that he plans to give Biden Holy Communion.  That is, he plans to violate Canon 915 and to formally and materially cooperate with Biden's mortal sin of receiving Holy Communion sacrilegiously.  That cooperation, of course, is its own mortal sin.

I know the Archdiocese of Washington keeps its beady little eyes on this blog, who would the designated silent troll please pass the message in the following video to your bosses?  Pray that it will do some good.  Thank you.

Rally At Supreme Court

This is the third and final series of clips that I took while at the Million MAGA March in DC on November 14.  I would estimate that at least several hundred thousand people were there, possibly over a million.  That is quite impressive, given the relatively brief notice that many of us had of such an event.  Naturally the sham of mass media states that "tens of thousands" were there.  They will do all they can to downplay the American people.  More and more are waking up to their lies and twisting of facts. 

Again, prayers are desperately needed, particularly the Rosary.  I realize that thoughts might be turning to the Thanksgiving holiday, with family and friends to meet, but do not allow that to be a distraction.  Rather, make this holiday an occasion to turn to God and beg His graces upon our nation.  After all, it is God to whom we direct our thanks.

The USCCB And The Great Reset

 The US Catholic bishops, as a whole, never fail - to disappoint, that is.  The USCCB is holding its semi-annual meeting virtually.  We can be grateful that they aren't squandering thousands of Catholic dollars to flit off to swanky hotels, wine and dine to their content, and confab about all their latest progressive schemes.  Well, they are doing the latter virtually.

Earlier this week one of them put out the following tweet regarding this virtual gabfest.  Now what strikes you about this tweet?  One of my facebook friends remarked that the bishops aren't serious men.  I replied that they may not be men, period.  He agreed that I might have a point.  Upon further reflection, I think the cause for this tweet is a bit more ominous.  What they don't take seriously is the Sacrament of Holy Orders, with its attendant gifts and responsibilities to fulfill the charges laid upon them by Christ Himself.  I cannot say they don't take their vocations seriously because there is reason to doubt that many of them had authentic vocations at all.  Recall that Bella Dodd, stated that the Communist party deliberately set out to insinuate unsuitable guys (I won't call them men) into the priesthood and ultimately the episcopate with the stated goal of undermining Holy Mother Church.  No wonder they have no problem uttering such flippant statements.  The tweet has since been taken down after they received much understandable backlash.

A few days prior to that, Archbishop Gomez, president of the USCCB, congratulated Biden on his alleged "win".  Of course he's ignoring the obvious voter fraud and the subsequent legal challenges that Trump and his legal team are filing, acting falsely as though the media has constitutional authority to declare the winner of an election.

The case of Bishop Richard Stika of the Diocese of Knoxville, TN is rather curious.  Earlier, he had been chastising Biden for his support of baby-slaughter.  Now, however, he has changed his tune.  One could believe that a few of his "brother" bishops twisted his arm and told him to get with the program.  Well, he did.  He is calling on President Trump to concede defeat.  He even went so far as to cite the presidential election of 60 years ago, when Nixon conceded to Kennedy although it was clear that someone cheated on Kennedy's behalf and perhaps at Kennedy's request.  Apparently Stika claims that it's "love of country" to allow millions of Trump supporters to be disenfranchised of their right to vote.  The logic he espoused is so convoluted that it's clear that he's trying to justify his own cowardice in the face of those who are either blackmailing or bribing him to change his tone.

So it sure looks like the USCCB is clearly shilling for a Biden victory.  They are clearly on board the progressive global reset train.  I'm going to post below a podcast that Michael Hichborn of Lepanto Institute just did a few hours ago.  Please listen and pass this along.  This whole attempt to steal the election from Donald Trump - and the USCCB is on board with that - is greatly desired by the progressives, both in secular society and in the Vatican in order to move along their one-world-government reset.  Keep on praying your Rosaries.

Today's Press Conference

Today at noon we heard a press conference given by President Trump's legal team that is tasked with uncovering the election fraud.  Rudy Giuliani led the conference, assisted by Sydney Powell and Jenna Ellis.  As much as they are delivering facts to the media personnel in attendance, they are also excoriating those same media for their blatant censorship and downright shilling for the Democrats.

As expected, much of the lamebrain media later dismissed the press conference.  We see on the yahoo page some writers suggesting that people "don't bother" to watch the conference and making snide comments about Giuliani sweating on the stage.  The irony is that they are actually proving the points that Giuliani, Powell, and Ennis made regarding the silly and duplicitous attitudes of most of the lame-brain-main-stream media. 

On the other hand, independent media (such as Yours Truly) urge you to watch the entire thing.  I also urge you to keep up your prayers and intercessions so that the truth will be brought to light.

Walking Up Pennsylvania Avenue

This is the second of three videos produced from my recordings of the Million MAGA March in Washington DC this past weekend.  Again, these videos are taken from the perspective of being in the midst of thousands of people.  I've no idea of what the Washington Post reported as the crowd size, but we were well into the hundreds of thousands, if we didn't break one million.  You can see the crowds for yourselves and I tried to narrate that in the video itself.

I again want to contrast this protest with the Soros-funded protests of late. There was no trash in the street, no buildings spray-painted or windows smashed, the police weren't mobbed or pelted with all sorts of flying objects, their cruisers weren't torched.  In short, we behaved as we truly are: adults who are simply tired of being disregarded and wronged by progressives in power.

Now the video..

Rally At Freedom Plaza

As mentioned yesterday, I took video of the Million MAGA March in Washington DC this past Saturday. By now, many readers have seen other videos and aerial shots.  I am presenting it with no special effects so that you can get a feel for what it was like "at ground level" as it were.

Because I took lots of footage, I thought it best to divide it into three parts: Rally At Freedom Plaza, Walk Towards The Supreme Court, and Rally At Supreme Court.  These smaller chunks were much easier to process and upload than one huge file.  Below is the first installment of the three clips.  

I think from these you'll get an idea just how many decent people there are who are fed up with how the progressives are stampeding all over the ideals of the United States.  My prayer through all this is that these same people, and more, will understand what is meant by 2 Chronicles 7:14.  You will notice some in these videos who are urging national repentance, particularly for the mortal sins of abortion and homosexual perversions.  A few days ago I linked to a novena that Lepanto Institute is using.  At the very least, we must pray our Rosaries per the repeated requests of Our Lady of Fatima.

Now the video..

Million MAGA Rally In DC Yesterday

If you saw aerial shots showing huge crowds to the tune of 1-2 million attendees, I can vouch for that on the basis of my eye-witness.  Two pro-Trump outfits held rallies on Freedom Plaza, within walking distance of the White House.  The participants walked up PA Avenue to the area between the Capitol and the Supreme Court.  When I started my walk, thousands were already walking and when we got there, thousands more were already situated on the grounds.  It was so packed that I could not get near the speakers on the Supreme Court steps. 

An hour or so later, people were still streaming up PA Avenue, and were still walking up by the time I left, which was shortly before 3pm.  If you heard news of a scuffle between Trump supporters and Antifa, yes, I was there for that.  The crowd size prevented me from witnessing the confrontation, but there are videos of it out there.  I also understand that Antifa beat up Trump supporters in the evening, some of them elderly.

I did take video and am currently processing it all.  I hope to have it up shortly.  This will be a ground-level, unedited one, to give you a feel for what it was actually like to be in the midst of it.  Meanwhile, here's one from LifeSiteNews.

A Breath Of Fresh Air From Fort Worth, TX

This past Tuesday, Father Jim Gigliotti, pastor of St Andrew's in Fort Worth TX, preached on St Leo the Great and then reprimanded some of his school staff for celebrating Biden on the parish's facebook wall.  The video appears below.  Consider going to the parish facebook page and offer your prayers and thanks to Father.  Bishop Michael Olson is his bishop, and his picture is a rather mixed one.  Father said he's willing to let the chips fall where they will, but let's support him in both prayer and action.

White House Press Conference On Election

 Watch this and observe how the GOP people are treated by the reporters.  The mainstream media has cemented in stone their status as water-boys for the progressive Democrats.

The Legal Actions Bear Some Fruit

Today it was announced that North Carolina has been declared for Trump.  That is 15 Electoral College votes.  In Michigan, approximately 10,000 mail-in ballots were attributable to dead people, some of them born over 100 years ago.  Project Veritas interviewed the USPS whistleblower in PA who uncovered a ballot backdating scheme; the whistleblower was being intimidated by Federal agents into watering down his story, but held firm.  Meanwhile, Lindsay Graham was made aware of a ballot-harvesting scheme affecting 25,000 residents in PA nursing homes.  If that wasn't enough, Rudy Giuliani has reasons to believe that 900,000 illegal ballots may have been cast in PA.  The corrections of these anomalies would be enough to flip PA to Trump.

We can expect more evidence of wrong-doing to pop out like kudzu.  I'll post as I learn them.  Meanwhile, no matter what, please keep up with the daily Rosaries and encourage your families and friends to do the same.

The below video will add just a tad of humor to a rather disgusting practice of the Democrats.

Implore The Assistance Of Our Lady Of Victory

I listened to a broadcast by Michael Hichborn of Lepanto Institute this past Friday.  He was talking a bit on this election situation and recommended prayers to Our Lady of Victory, presented on his site.  Please follow that link.  You may wish to incorporate these into your own intercessions that the election frauds be uncovered and rectified, and that the true winner of the election be made know.

Election Dirt Being Uncovered, AP And USCCB Try To Help With Obfuscation

 A statement from President Trump today:

“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process. Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.

“So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”

Well, troubles abound in Michigan, one of the states that "mysteriously" switched from Trump to Biden.  First, we have the account of a ballot-count watcher, who witnessed two vehicles pull up and unload approximately 130,000 ballots.  They were all for Biden.  Every one of them was legitimately for Biden, and none for Trump?  No, that is a statistical impossiblility.  Go to that link and watch the video that the ballot-watcher took with her phone.

They also had, uh, "technical difficulties" with their voting machines.  The machines were run with software from Dominion Voting Systems.  It was discovered in Antrim County, and the votes had to be manually re-counted.  Thus, a county called for Biden, after a proper recount, went to Trump. 

From Breitbart News:

We can expect to see similar scenarios throughout the country, particularly in swing states.

 And just how, oh how, did Dominion Software come to be such a dominant feature in the tallying of US votes?  Why, from connections in high places, of course - and that includes connections to Nancy Pelosi herself.  But that's just a coincidence, right?  My, such a small world!  By the way - Detroit election officials were caught red-handed blocking the ballot-counting from legal observers; someone is obviously displeased he was caught on camera!

With all this coming to light, the progressives are rushing to declare Biden the victor, so any more irregularities discovered by Trump's team will look like he's tampering with the election (when he's merely exposing Democrat chicanery).  The AP today "called" the election for Biden, as did Fox News.  Many, including some easily duped conservatives, glommed onto these baseless pronouncements as though they were gospel-truth.  News flash!  The media does not have legal authority to make any official declarations regarding an election's outcome!  That should be obvious to someone with a basic knowledge of civics, but perhaps this is why public schools stopped teaching civics several decades ago.

Joining in this effort to do an "end-run" around the exposure of Democratic corruption is none other than the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.  They have imperiously declared that Biden has enough votes and that he is the legitimate president-elect.  Nothing could be further from the truth - well, I take that back.  The USCCB, in that same declaration, claim that Biden is a "practicing Catholic".  Since when is an unabashed cheerleader for baby-slaughter and sexual perversions a "practicing Catholic"?  Is it because that is how many of them "practice Catholicism"?  They posted this pronouncement on their facebook page and received many well-deserved rebukes and denunciations.  Remember that when they try their annual shakedown for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.

In the meantime, pray your rosaries.  Storm heaven that God have mercy on this country and that the large-scale deceptions be exposed and the real winner soon declared.

Soon-To-Be Cardinal Gregory: Focus On "Full Panoply Of The Church's Social Teachings"

This interview that Gregory gave demonstrates that he intends to follow in the steps of Cupich, Farrell, Joseph Tobin and other progressives as they promote the now-debunked "seamless-garment" crap of the late Cardinal Bernardin.  Gregory is quite unabashed and blatant here.  

• He wants to "broaden the concept of pro-life" so that "other pressing issues might be on a par with the ongoing slaughter of 3500+ babies daily in this country.
• He commented on the language of the USCCB's voting guide that called abortion "our preeminent priority".  He said that language "could benefit from rephrasing".
• He wants to include the "history of black Catholics in the US" as part of Catholic school curriculum.  I wonder when he plans to include modules on "history of Irish Catholics" or "Italian Catholics"?  But I digress
• He commented on recent firings of openly "gay-married" employees of Catholic institutions by saying "it's not a one-size-fits-all situation".  So when is the retention of a flagrantly disobedient Catholic not a scandal?
• He said that LGBT individuals should be treated with respect.  That is true enough as they are made in the image and likeness of God.  But one could wonder what Gregory meant by "respect" given his overly-cozy relationship with Fortunate Families.

Of course he bad-mouthed Father James Altman for having the chutzpah of acting and speaking as an actual priest of Jesus Christ and proclaiming the truth.  He called Altman's remarks "egregious and unhelpful" and that Catholics should base voting on "the full panoply of the church's social teaching".  I remind his excellency that the true social teaching of the Church is to be found in Father Altman's words, not his progressive interpretation of it.  Now Gregory had to know whom he was defending in that remark.  He is responsible for leading souls astray and into formal cooperation with Biden's own support of baby-slaughter.

One can only suspect for whom he voted this past Tuesday.  Let us keep praying that the various voting frauds come to light and that Trump claims his rightful victory.

Storm Heaven - It Ain't Over Till It's Over

At the time of this writing, the progressives are being quite blatant about their efforts to steal this election from Donald Trump.  While Biden is leading in electoral votes thus far, the basis of his lead is somewhat dubious.   This morning it was reported that Michigan had yet to count 138.000 votes; as they were "counting" it was discovered that every one of them was for Biden.  That is a statistical impossibility.  A Michigan Court of Appeals ruling now blocks a 14-day extension to accept absentee ballots, further lessening the opportunities for Democrat cheating.

Some media outlets were prepared to call Arizona for Biden.  However, a "data error" reveals that only 86% of the ballots, not 98%, were counted.  The missing votes come from Trump-friendly areas.  Enough anomalies were detected in Wisconsin that he's demanding a recount.

It appears that Trump will fight all this progressive cheating tooth and nail - as well he should.  If this were Romney or McCain, they'd be falling all over themselves spouting concession  speeches right and left.  A friend pointed out that one good effect of all this is that the Democrat cheating apparatus might be further exposed as it is challenged and investigated.

Meanwhile, we must storm heaven for God's mercy on us, to allow us more time to help wake our wayward fellow citizens - and Catholics so that they wise up and repent and live like Catholics.  In many ways, we as a nation would deserve the curse of a Biden presidency.  On the other hand, when I go to the traditional Latin Mass at St Alphonsus in Baltimore, with all the young families worshipping Jesus in an actual Catholic Mass, I can hear quite a few babies, cooing and just being themselves.  What did they do to deserve the Democrats and the havoc that they'll wreak on their futures?  Our innocent children deserve better than that.  We cannot leave them that legacy without an all-out effort at prayer and intercession for Trump's reelection.  

Father Ripperger suggested that the following prayer be prayed, in addition to our daily Rosaries.

And now, some words from Archbishop Vigano via Taylor Marshall.

How The Seamless Garment Nonsense Poisons The Mind And Soul

This is the eve of the presidential election.  It's worth a reminder that faithful Catholics simply cannot vote for Joe Biden, for to do so is to formally and materially cooperate with the mortal sin of abortion that he openly supports.  Many good people, including faithful priests, are stating that we, as faithful Catholics, simply cannot vote for any Democrat because they all embrace their God-hating, anti-life platform.  I for one heartily concur.

However, too many Catholics have swallowed the seamless-garment codswallop and are letting lesser issues blind them to the heinous evils of abortion, euthanasia, homosexual perversions, etc.  The Lepanto Institute has uncovered evidence that the CCHD is funding organizations that are supporting Biden and all the other anti-God bile.  This information is crucial, not only for the election, but for two other reasons:

1. Most dioceses in the US will be conducting their in-pew collections for the CCHD this month.  They must be completely boycotted.  I'll have more pointers on that in a future post.
2. There are some former pro-life leaders who have become embroiled in leftwing "social justice warrior" distractions.  These distractions have so robbed them of mental and spiritual clarity that they are publicly supporting pro-abortion Joe Biden.  

Click on that second link and go down about 1/3 of the page, where Hichborn discusses what Dolores Huerta says.  She points out the cross-sectionality between the immigrant rights movement, the workers' movement, the LGBT movement and the pro-abortion movement.  As the saying goes, the broken clock is correct at least twice a day.  All those progressive causes intersect, and the pro-life person who dilly-dallies in one will find him/herself seduced by all the others.  Two years ago I wrote of Rob Schenck, a former leader who did an about-face and now supports Roe v Wade.  Regrettably he is voting for Joe Biden.  Now I am saddened to learn that Father Paul Schenck (Rob's identical twin), a Catholic priest, has also announced his support for Biden.  His statement appears on his brother's blog.  Note his reasons all stem from seamless-garment nonsense.  So much error, so little time.  This article does a nice job of picking apart Father Schenck's flawed thinking. 

If by any chance some are reading this on Nov 3rd and haven't voted yet, please make sure to cast your vote for Trump.  

I also urge us all to place our efforts to eradicating the intrinsic evils of abortion, euthanasia, perversions of sexuality and marriage.  To embrace the seamless-garment thinking is to endanger your soul.

Catholics For Trump

 Pay close attention #nevertrump people.  The decision not to vote is subject to scrutiny on your Particular Judgments as much as decisions to vote.  The stakes are way too high - the fate of western civilization, and resultant damnation or salvation of souls, is at stake.

A Little Halloween Fright

I don't know who created this, but it's great! Let us pray that this does not portray our reality for the next four years.

We Laity Must Hold The Clergy's Feet To The Fire.

 Randall Terry, with the assistance of other pro-life people, put out the following video to implore the US bishops to actually act like bishops during this election and warn people that a vote for Joe Biden is formal and material cooperation with the mortal sins that he has promised to commit in office, implicating us all.  Please watch it, especially to learn actions that we can take in this last week before Election Day.

At the 18:12 mark, we hear a suggestion that is easily implemented from your home.  Make a video of yourself addressing your bishop, then upload that video to the social pages of your diocese.  I did so a few days ago - made a video of myself addressing Archbishop Gregory.  I then put it on the archdiocese's facebook and twitter pages.  It took only a matter of minutes.  Many of us can do the same.  Let's get going.

It also should go without saying that we must be praying our Rosaries daily.

Archbishop Gregory Gets His Red Hat! Who's Surprised? Not me!

 In 2004, at the US bishops' meeting in Denver, Bishop Gregory, in his capacity as president of the USCCB, colluded with then-Cardinal McCarrick to withhold from their brother bishops a directive from then-Cardinal Ratzinger regarding Holy Communion.  See here and here.  That delay led the other bishops to believe that Canon 915 need not be applied to pro-abortion politicians.

At his first "Theology on Tap" session upon assuming the DC see, Archbishop Gregory has no bones about singing the praises of Fortunate Families, a dissident, gay-pandering organization.  Apparently he hobnobbed with them quite a bit during his time in Atlanta.

In June, when all the mayhem was erupting over the killing of George Floyd, Archbishop Gregory acted the part of the pompous, race-baiting ass.  He ordered his priests to join him in a protest prayer service on behalf of Floyd.  Then, when President Trump kept a long-standing commitment to visit the St John Paul II National Shrine, Gregory waxed indignant that Trump acted to restrain the rioters and arsonists.  Gregory called Trump's visit to the Shrine "reprehensible" although he himself had been invited to join earlier but politely declined.

These are just a few examples of how Archbishop Gregory has been toting water for his progressive higher-ups, including the ones in the Vatican.  They have displayed their approval in their just-announced plans to make him a cardinal next month.  

Ladies and gentlemen, we knew this was coming.  He was brought into DC specifically to do damage-control for his two predecessors as well as further the progressive agenda along.  He is simply getting a reward AND his appointment is just one more step in the pope's efforts to stack the College of Cardinals with those who will be likely to vote for a progressive to succeed him.  Their gain is the church's loss.

See below for more background on this soon-to-be prince of the Church.

Please Join Baltimore Parents October 31 To Protect Children From Transgender Insanity - POSTPONED

Important Note:  The event described below has been postponed.  The new date is yet to be determined.  I will advise when I learn it.

Recall how the Archdiocese of Baltimore's Assistant School Superintendent moved to have the faculty of the School of the Incarnation in Gambrills use masculine pronouns at the behest of a very confused little girl who is pretending to be a boy.  See here, and then here and here for my attempts to discuss this matter with various officials.

Next week, Saturday Oct 31, a group of concerned Catholic parents will conduct a Prayer Walk, Rosary and Mass for the protection of the children in the archdiocesan school system from the politically correct nonsense being foisted on them.  We will gather at 7:45 a.m. in front of the chancery offices at 320 Cathedral Street in Baltimore. We will then pray the Rosary as we process around the Assumption Basilica and will finish at 10:00 a.m. with Mass.  Parking instructions, and leaders whom to contact, can be found in the flyer below.

Please come and spread the word to others as well.  It is up to us the laity to protect our children and our Church from the wolves within its power structures.

The Pictures On The Doors At Our Lady Of Lourdes - Their Disgusting Roots

Two months ago, I reported on seeing blasphemous pictures of Jesus Christ on the doors of Our Lady of Lourdes in Bethesda, MD.  I haven't been there in a while, but I believe they still remain on the doors, despite good Catholics asking Father for their removal.

One of those good Catholics directed me to a blog where Christianity is mocked in general.  The particular post in question is https://thehardtimes.net/blog/not-a-good-sign-jesus-is-back-and-hes-wearing-a-face-mask/     You can read this piece for yourself and understand the mocking, sneering tone of it.  You will also notice that the picture of the "masked Jesus" is the exact same one that is on the doors of the OLOL church.  Coincidence?  I think not!

Please notice the date of that post: March 6, 2020.  Now bear in mind when Msgr Filardi left Lourdes and Father Walsh arrived there; that transfer was effective July 8, 2020, per the Catholic Standard.  In plain English, that post and picture were on the internet well before Father Walsh's arrival.  It is within the realm of probabilities that Father Walsh obtained that blasphemous picture from the hardtimes post, and if so, he had to have known the utter disrespect that Dan Rice (author of the post) has for Our Lord.

The rest of that hardtimes site is pure trash.  If such sites are the inspiration for "priestly humor" and probably the thinking of some priests in general, the people whom they pastor are being cheated of the pastoral care that is their right as Catholics.

Pope Francis Formally Cooperates With The Mortal Sin Of Homosexual Perversions

His remarks were made in a documentary on his life that released earlier today, according to Catholic News Agency.  He is calling for the legalization of gay "civil unions".  Some key quotes from it are:

• "Homosexuals have a right to be part of the family.  They're children of God and have a right to a family.  Nobody should be thrown out, or made miserable because of it."
• "What we have to create is a civil union law.  That way they are legally covered. I stood up for that."

There is so much error in these two statements.  For the sake of those who still insist on wearing rose-colored glasses with regards to ever-increasingly foul utterances pouring forth from this pope, I will elaborate, again in bullet-style.

• Yes, they have the right to a family, just as we all do.  Such a family is based on one biologically-born man and one biologically-born woman united in Christian matrimony.  That union is life-long, exclusive, and open to the transmission of life.  Anything other than that is a mockery of a true family.  No one, gay or straight, has the right to engage in any caricatures of the same.  To do so is a mortal sin.
• A civil union law in this context will only have the effect of facilitating the mortal sin of homosexual relationships.  If a question regards medical care or inheritance rights, there are other legal avenues for that.  There is absolutely no excuse to commit sacrilege against the Sacrament of Matrimony.
• What is not being touched on, at least explicitly, is the topic of adoption rights.  If anyone has a right to a family, an authentic family according to God's laws that is, it would be the innocent children.  Will their rights to an authentic family be disregarded to satisfy the whims of sodomites and their partners?

We must also recall, as we read this news, that he has had a pattern of hobnobbing with perverted people without calling them to repentance, as is his duty as Vicar of Christ.  Five years ago he held a private audience with a "transgender man", that is, a woman pretending to be a man, with her accomplice.  When the pope visited the US five years ago, he held an audience with a former student of his, now gay, along with his accomplice.  I recall these incidents to the readers' memories, for that is context in which today's news must be seen.

There are some who opine that because the pope is obviously facilitating the mortal sin of homosexual conduct, then he himself is gay.  I believe that to be an unfounded leap in logic.  However, when one cooperates with the mortal sin of another, he/she does share in the guilt of that other's sin.  Catholic moral theology recognizes nine ways in which one can cooperate in another's sin and thus incur guilt.

Below is commentary from Taylor Marshall.  He starts by saying that today is a "sad day in the history of the Catholic Church".  I must agree.  If you needed yet another reason to stay faithful to your daily Rosaries, hopefully this will more than suffice.

Archbishop Vigano And Bishop Schneider Take A Dim View Of Fruitti Patooti

There is no need to reinvent the wheel, namely the interviews that LifeSiteNews had with these two courageous prelates who have been speaking the truth about the bilge that has been slopping forth from the Vatican these past several years.  Please take the time to read these two summaries, and the embedded videos in this post and this one.  Any precursory glance through the Fruitti Patootie tome will bear out the words of these men: that there is no supernatural faith underlying this piece.  Indeed, it is an apologetic for a secular new world order, long envisioned by the masons.  To paraphrase Archbishop Vigano, Fruitti Patootie "represents..the emptiness of a withered heart of a blind man deprived of supernatural sight.

No Wonder Progressives Rail Against The Death Penalty!

 A few days ago I put up a post containing Taylor Marshall's commentary about the perversion that a priest committed atop the altar of his parish church, in effect desecrating it with his gross sacrilege.  Taylor mentions that the altar is symbolic of Christ Himself; that is why there are five crosses carved into each Catholic altar.  He noted that in more sane and reverent times, such deliberate desecration and sacrilege would have garnered the death penalty for the perpetrator.

He said this in passing, and I was prepared to let it remain a lesser point.  However, this is NOT the first time that a Catholic altar was desecrated - not so much with sexual perversion as with rank idolatry.  I remind you of this outrage, right after the pachamama idols were tossed in the Tiber.  This detailed what happened during the closing Mass of that climate-change gabfest during which the pachamamas desecrated the Vatican gardens and several Catholic churhes before being hurled into the Tiber.  As you watch the video of the Mass, take notice of how many times the camera zooms onto that plant.  Then the plant is placed on the altar in direct disobedience to the GIRM.  Take note particularly from 55:38 to 56:20.  Recall from the previous paragraph that any Catholic altar is representative of Christ Himself - and that defilements of said altars at one time were punished via the death penalty.

I'm going to link now to an article in Catholic World Report, where the author directs three questions to opponents of the death penalty.  These questions, in my opinion, reduce to shreds any attempt to vilify the death penalty.  But have you noticed that among death penalty opponents are all proponents of abortion, gay perversions along with heretics and those who blaspheme and commit vile sacriledge?  One might ask why, but I think the answer to that is quite obvious; they know that in a saner time, they themselves would be eligible for capital punishment.  Let us pray that these people come quickly to repentance.

Time Is Running Out. Eek. Eek.

 That is what the pope told some of his fellow envirowhackos last week.  This happened at a TEDx Countdown on Climate Change.  The conference happened virtually so at least the attendants didn't make flaming hypocrites of themselves by flying in on their gas-guzzling private jets to kvetch about climate change, carbon footprint, yada-yada.

The bunch convened to present "cutting-edge science" and (are you ready for this?) "moments of wonder and inspiration".  This eminently-qualified cadre of (ahem!) experts include such luminaries as (from the Standard article) "scientists, climate activists, actors, singers, poets, politicians and comedians" (Emphasis mine).  Excluse me, but just what in hades do entertainers know about real science?  Have any of the Hollywood wonks ever worked a real job in their lives?  Why on earth should anyone listen to entertainers more than they would the grocery store clerk or the trash man?

At any rate, we are supposed to "act urgently" and to "rethink many things about the economy" because time is running out, you see?  This is nothing more than a cheap ploy for socialism.  

If the pope were really concerned that "time is running out", might he not put some emphasis on getting people to convert to the One True Faith, leaving behind all manners of sin - especially those mortal sins against life and God's plan for sexuality and family life? That's where he should be spending the bulk of his energies, not on this progressive, one-world-order nonsense.

Sacrilege And Idolatry From Within The Catholic Hierarchy

Last week I wrote of the serious sex scandals that came to light in the Archdiocese of New Orleans.  I suspect they are related and that they are just two tips of a massive iceberg that lurks in that area.  Below I will post commentary from Taylor Marshall. But now, please be advised of another scandal, this from within Vatican City itself.

Vatican City is its own sovereign country.  Therefore it mints its own coinage. It recently released a 10-euro coin depicting a "mother earth" pagan idol on it.  I link to Church Militant's piece on it.  Mind you, this is where the Vicar of Christ is housed, along with the Church's central government.  One would expect its coinage to be, well, Catholic, with images of Our Lord or maybe the Blessed Mother or other saints.  But a pagan "earth worship" idol?  Since the pope is the head of state of Vatican City, we must surmise that this travesty was minted at his direction.  When I heard that, I immediately thought of the account in Matthew 22, when Jesus is showed the Roman coin and He said "render to Caesar what is Caesar and to God what is God's."  Was this an ever-so-sly way of saying that allegiances in the Vatican are shifting?

So how are the New Orleans and the Vatican City situations related?  Quite simply, we are seeing actions taken by clergy of all levels, including the pope, taking what is sacred to God and literally turning them over to demons.  Both of these episodes are simply two occurrences of this profanation of our Holy Religion.  The "fruity patuiti" tome is yet another.  Within a day or two, more will be said on that.  Now for Marshall's commentary.

A Real Priest From Towson MD Speaking The Truth About The Presidential Elections

Father Edward Meeks was an Anglican priest prior to his reversion to the One True Church (raised a Catholic).  Upon his return he became founding pastor of Christ the King Church in Towson MD.  From what I gather, not only he and his wife converted, but the entire Anglican parish converted - hence he is a founding pastor of the new Catholic parish.

On October 11, he preached a homily about voting that was not ambiguous in the slightest degree.  He proclaimed the truth about the Democrats, the party of death.  It speaks for itself. 

I will add only one note to trolls of the Archdiocese of Baltimore and elsewhere.  Should his video come down for any reason whatsoever, I've downloaded it and will put it right back up very quickly.  No doubt other astute souls have taken that precaution.  So don't even bother, dear "katholyk" progressives!

With no further ado, Father Meeks.
