As we pray our daily Rosaries, let's pray that the insults to the Faith that this present pope spews forth will end, one way or the other. Too many souls are being damaged by him.

The Latest Craze! Do The Confirmation Banana!
What normal, sane person in their worst nightmare coughs up this dredge? That is what one ditzy DRE did to her confirmation students. Please note in the video below that the priest is vested for Mass. Yes, this debacle happened during Mass. Moreover, the poor kids were marched into the sanctuary and had to turn their backs on Our Lord in the Tabernacle. Then they were compelled to follow along with silly gestures while the DRE, with rock band, performs a musical routine that.. well, let's just say it won't be winning any grammy awards.
For the life of me, I cannot fathom one actual benefit that came from all that schlock. The poor kids were scandalized - in every sense of the word. I'm not sure where this parish is, but that priest and DRE are in need of serious reprimands for the damages inflicted on these kids' souls.

Three Acts Of Persecution In The US - What We Must Do
On Saturday July11 2020, we saw three acts of arson against Catholic establishments. The first happened in Ocala Florida when a man crashed his vehicle into Queen of Peace Catholic Church, then proceeded to light a fire with parishioners inside. He then led the police on a chase and was apprehended. This news page identifies the perpetrator as Steven Shields. He is a white man. If he had committed that crime against a black church, you may rest assured that riots would be ongoing even now. However, the mainstream media's attitude is rather blase about it. We have yet to learn a motive.
Across the country in California, the San Gabriel Mission Church was set ablaze. It's an historical landmark at least 200 years old. The roof is destroyed. Because of the backlash of late against mission churches (alleging racism) the fire is under federal investigation.
That evening, in Dorcester Massachussetts, a statue of the Blessed Mother was set on fire. Local police are investigating that as arson.
So that's three Catholic institutions in one day. This has all the smell of a coordinated campaign. Just last week Catholics were defending a statue of King St Louis IX against antifa and blm marauders.
Protestant establishments have also been targeted. Recall that the historic St John's Church across from the White House was vandalized. We hear also of Grace Baptist Church in Troy NY where mobs tried to block people from entering.
Below Taylor Marshall speaks of the first two incidents. I think at the time he recorded this, the Massachusetts arson had not yet happened. He talks of what he calls the three stages of persecution and describes these incidents quite well. The persecution is real and I've no bones saying that those who deny its reality sin by their attempts to deceive themselves and each other with false comfort. At the end, he suggests eight actions, some of them requiring men to take the lead. Listen the whole way through and, as he suggested, please make news of these incidents go viral. Our politically correct mainstream media will downplay them.

Background Story Of The Pachamama Dunking And Some Bizarre Catholic Reactions
Recall several months ago how the pachamama idols were worshipped in the Vatican, in full sight of the pope. This happened not once but several times. It even happened at the closing Mass of the synod, when Pope Francis accepted a pachamama plant and placed it on the altar.
We of course were delighted when the pachamama filth was tossed into the Tiber. Some time later, one of the two dunkers came forward - Alexander Tschugguel of Austria. He has since told his story and shared his traditional Catholic faith with many. Recently he was in the news as one who suffered the covid-19 virus and who came out of it.
A few days ago, in an interview with Taylor Marshall, the two men discussed these events. In the course of the conversation, they revealed Marshall's role in the pachamama dunking, as one who financed Tschugguel's air fare back and forth between Rome and Vienna.
Perhaps covid-19 has infected some Catholic brains, but I learned of this largely through some Catholics who took umbrage at Marshall's role in the deed, implying that he was merely playing the publicity hound throughout the matter. They even cast those aspersions on Tschugguel himself, going so far as to say he faked his corona affliction for publicity.
My first reaction to reading the details of the incident was, "so what?" How did that garner such vituperation? I have some questions for these detractors:

My first reaction to reading the details of the incident was, "so what?" How did that garner such vituperation? I have some questions for these detractors:
- How do they think that Tschugguel flew back and forth between the two cities? Do they think he and his friend just levitated through the air, or maybe bilocated as some mystics throughout the centuries did? News flash! Air fare costs money! Marshall put up his own funds. How dare some impugn Marshall's motives for so doing? If you don't think he deserves some respect for so doing, well, that's on you. However, by what stretch of logic do you villify him for his actions?
- I detect just a slight note of shame underlying the wags and naysayers for their own cowardice and lack of initiative. It's all too easy to say that those who do get off their butts to do something are not acting in good faith, for somehow that makes their own torpidity not look so bad. To be honest, I've been on the receiving end of such nonsense myself.
I'm not inclined to link to the prattlings of these malcontents right now, for I don't want to increase their hit counts. I might have to do that in the future, if this problem persists. I remind such individuals that contumely and calumny are sins.
Meanwhile, I will now post the interview below. The discussion of the pachamama incident begins at the 1:06:00 mark. They also remind us of that meeting scheduled for May at the 1:13:40 mark. I do hope that the corona situation causes that planned debacle to at least be postponed, as it has for so many other filthy events in Baltimore (see here and here).

Taylor Marshall Interviews George Neumayr About Confrontation With Fr Martin
A few days ago, Taylor Marshall interviewed George Neumayr. A week or two prior to that interview, Neumayr attended a talk given by Fr. James Martin and was able, in a "q&a" session, to make Martin publicly squirm.
Many interesting things are said in the video below. I call your attention to remarks made at the 17:00 mark and at the 40:37 mark. Both men are remarking how the pope's tinkering with the Church's perennial teaching on the death penalty paved the way for other more recent insults to tradtion. I made the exact same point in several of my earlier posts over a year ago, particularly this one and this one.
Then at the 39:57 mark, Neumayr states that we have to be willing to confront error head-on as he did with Martin. Gone are the days when we could just do with writing letters to ask prelates not to honor heretics, almost groveling in the process. We must be willing to make the evil-coddlers uncomfortable in their toadying. I'll most likely have more on that in a future post.
Please listen to the entire video.

How Several Strains Of Progressivism Gained Ground Over This Past Century
As noted in a previous post, I'm currently reading Taylor Marshall's excellent book, "Infiltration". In it he explores the history of the corruption of the Church hierarchy. In reference to that corruption, we are now staring at its horrible consequences as they unfold before our very eyes. Only those who stubbornly and yes, sinfully, persist in wearing rose-colored glasses will pretend to be ignorant of the sickness and impotence of today's parishes (with some exceptions).
Many people believe that the trouble started with the Vatican II council. That is only when the disasters started to manifest themselves. In reality, they have been almost 200 years in the making. Recall that Pope St Pius X issued many encyclicals against modernism and he died over 100 years ago. Again, I refer you to Marshall's book and to the source materials therein. You can also browse the writings of the popes; you'll see the link on the right side bar of this blog.
Other ominous movements were afoot during that period, running parallel with the attempts to infiltrate the Church. All of these bear the paw prints of freemasonry. Within this anthology of posts I link to a movie called Maafa 21, exploring the eugenics movement as it rose in the United States following the Civil War. You'll see therein how many of the eugenicists were involved in the Ku Klux Klan and the American Birth Control League. The latter became known as Planned Parenthood. In fact, Margaret Sanger, the foundress of Planned Parenthood, gave an address to at least one meeting of a women's auxiliary KKK group and corresponded with Nazi "doctors" prior to the outbreak of World War II. Those doctors mastermined the mass murders of Jews and other "undesirables". It is Sanger herself who referred to the poor as "human weeds". Now it is important to ponder the term "Planned Parenthood". Doesn't that sound like they simply want couples to plan when they have children? Well, that's the current myth, but Sanger herself was up front about her intents. If it were up to her, parents wouldn't do the planning, for by her sick measures, they might not be "fit" to be parents. She must have realized that sort of totalitarianism wouldn't fly with the Americans of that era, so contraception became her answer. I'd urge you to watch the Maafa 21 film.
I will now post a movie done by Ben Stein called "Expelled". It details how atheistic Darwinism conquered academia and how it's stifled any differing scientific opinions about intelligent design. My post will continue after the video.
All those who hold to Darwinism to the point of quashing other opinion whine and moan about how the intelligent design theory will empower religious people. Quite frankly, their misgivings, from their warped perspectives, are rather logical. Intelligent design implies a Supreme Intelligence, does it not? Of course that means that mankind is not the supreme being in the universe, and that there is a God that has legitimate demands on our allegiance, obedience and worship. They must either obey or disobey, with consequences to follow. From that truth they instinctively recoil and lash out against those who dare propose the truth.
At the 1:12:00 mark, you'll see how the Darwinist position, with its emphasis on "survival of the fittest", is just another facet of the eugenics position. Both were atheists. In rejecting God, they also rejected the truth of eternal life after this sojourn on earth. Understanding that mental paradigm, we can see how they would only be focused on this life. Their emphasis would be to make life on this earth to be their paradise.
Can we not see this same mindset in so many of our progressive clergy? Take note of their obsession with environmentalism. We have seen recently how this pope has engaged various "population control" advocates to formulate the thinking behind Laudato Si and now the Amazon Synod.
Such deadly poison has long ago infiltrated Catholic clergy. In this article we see that a Catholic priest (Franciscan) is chiding pro-life activists for prioritizing babies over "the environment". He has in fact relegated the environment to the status of a de facto deity. This is gaia worship. His own claims to being pro-life ring hollow.
This error stated by Fr. Horan is quite compatible with the horror stated by democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. He stated that abortion and birth control would be part of his plan to address "climate change". Given his previous heretical blooper, how could Fr Horan argue with that? More importantly, would he be inclined to argue with Sanders.
A few weeks ago I wrote about the pope's continuing destruction of the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and the Family. We now see that Archbishop Paglia (yes, him) pretends that the term "life" needs to be redefined. What's next? Will this crowd try to redefine the word "God"? For 2000 years now, the Church has proclaimed God's teachings of life, family and morality. Any attempt to modify the meanings of those truths, by definition, will be to introduce deception and confusion to crystal-clear truth.
Speaking of "modifying teachings", that is exactly what will be attempted next month at the Amazon Sin-Nod. Pray your Rosaries for protection.

Degradation Of The Petrine Ministry
That is a phrase used by Dr Taylor Marshall to describe Pope Francis' latest insult, not only to the faith of good Catholics, but to his sacred office as well. Yesterday he greeted some Catholics after a Mass in Loreto, Italy. It is customary for Catholics to kiss the ring of the pope, as Dr. Marshall explains. In the video, you'll see that the pope was having none of that. It's worth noting that the pope was aware that his actions were being recorded as he not only failed to honor his own office but humiliated those Catholics who only sought to do homage, not to him, but to his sacred office. But the pope has had a regrettable habit of insults throughout his papacy, hasn't he?
From his clown noses to the beach balls on altars we see his disregard of the sacred - and that includes his office. We need to keep this man in prayer for he is leading many astray.

Marshall And Hichborn On Social Justice Hoax And What You Can Do About It
Michael Hichborn has done extensive research over the years regarding "social justice" in the Catholic Church and the dangers that it poses to the eternal salvation of countless souls. My Catholic Media Coalition colleague, Stephanie Block, also has done similar research; in fact, Hichborn acknowledges her contributions at the 31-minute mark of the video below.
In this video, Taylor Marshall interviews Hichborn regarding the shams that are the three main vehicles of this so-called "social justice". They are: Catholic Campaign for Human Development, Catholic Relief Services, and Catholic Charities. While the video is long, I think it worth your while to listen closely to the whole thing. We are obliged to inform ourselves of these matters, and we simply must invest the time to do so.
A word to Catholics in the Archdiocese of Washington. I now link to the schedule for the second collections in 2019. Please note these three approaching collections:

- May 12 - Catholic Relief Services. For reasons discussed in this video, and many more, this (and the on-going Rice Bowl collection) must be boycotted.
- June 23 - Peter's Pence. In light of recent revelations regarding the stench that is in the Vatican, we dare not feed the corruption with our hard-earned dollars.
- August 4 - Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Hichborn mentioned in the video that they try to disguise this collection. That's why they call it "Catholic Communications and Human Development?. Whom do they think they are fooling?
Very soon I will give some practical suggestions on notes to put into the envelopes, etc. For now, please pay close attention to this video and spread this around. Thank you.

The Sex Scandal And The Papacy
The sex-summit dog-and-pony show in Rome ended a few days ago. As anticipated by those with two brain cells firing in syncopation, this thing was a farce conducted with the intention to fool people into thinking that the pope and high-ranking prelates are serious about sex abuse by the clergy. Oh, they're serious, all right! Serious about protecting it for their own perverted pleasures, it would seem.
Natacha Jaitt, an Argentine media celebrity, accused Gustavo Vera of trafficking children for sexual exploitation. Vera is a close friend of Pope Francis'. She was set to testify against Vera in a few weeks - but was found dead this past Saturday. Her family is calling her death murder. I post below an interview that she conducted with an Argentine blogger who was doing his own investigation. He alleges that Vera shipped children to the Vatican "for the Pope and his accomplices". Let that sink in. If it's true, the implications are horrendous - but would explain why the pope and his buddies were so quick to poo-poo the idea that homosexuality is a factor in the clerical sex abuse situation. I will post that interview below, but this post will continue below that. I understand that the man being interviewed is now missing.
Was this sex-summit a feeble attempt to mollify us, the Great Unwashed, so that we would stop poking into their perversions? Is this why Vatican personnel are bad-mouthing the two surviving dubia cardinals? Even Cardinal Marx can't avoid acknowledging the existence of a homosexual cabal in the Vatican; he acknowledges also that evidence has been destroyed. Was Vera, close friend of Pope Francis, sending young boys to the Vatican to be preyed upon by the wolves in shepherds' clothing?
I now post a video of a discussion between Taylor Marshall, Michael Voris and a third gentleman whose name I didn't catch. They discuss the question of whether or not Pope Francis should resign. I am increasingly becoming convinced that Francis could be an anti-pope, with Benedict XVI still the true pope. There have been indications that Benedict's resignation was, at least in part, coerced, rendering it invalid. Given the additional information that we now have regarding the St Gallen Mafia, I've no reason to doubt that they would have exerted pressure on Benedict to tender a rather strange resignation.
As the gentlemen said, please keep praying your Rosaries.

Pope Francis: McCarrick's Atrocities Not That Bad
You might recall from the November USCCB meeting this past November that not only did the pope forbid action on the episcopal sex abuse crisis, but the convened bishops voted against asking the Vatican to share its documents pertaining to disgraced Bishop McCarrick. Think about it. At the beginning of the meeting, at least some bishops moved to take action on the sex abuse crisis. Towards the end, they voted to continue the de facto cover-up for McCarrick. Doesn't that seem like a drastic change in their stances? What - or who - was behind such an extreme swing in collective attitudes?
But even Cupich and Wuerl were taking their queues from higher-ups. The main higher-up appears to be Pope Francis himself. Church Militant has discovered that the Vatican's so-called "investigation" into McCarrick's crimes of perversion is turning into a smear campaign against his former victims, now accusers. They are actually trying to say that because 1) the boy may have been 16 at the time and not a minor and 2) the sex may have been "consensual", that somehow McCarrick's culpability and guilt may be mitigated.
Of course that theory is shot full of holes. If you look at the Church Militant link, you'll notice another link at "Taylor Marshall". It is to a video wherein Marshall interviews James Grein, who was molested by McCarrick starting at age 11. Was the Vatican referring to yet another boy? Even if so, that makes not one whit of diffference. The Vatican, in its statement, seems intent on conflating civil law with moral and Church law. It is the latter two laws, both higher than the first, that is the Vatican's only concern.
Some are expressing shock, and rightly so; I'm not sure about their reasons. They state correctly that McCarrick took a vow of celibacy, but celibacy has nothing to do with these crimes. The laity do not take vows of celibacy, but still the actions that McCarrick took are mortally sinful for them as well. Homosexual acts are mortal sins, whether committed by lay or celibates. As far as consensual, I would wager that a cleric holds much sway over a young person, particulary a vulnerable person. Any solicitation to sin would be coercive in that context. If the victim were female, no one would contest that statutory rape occurred. Why the contest in this case? Answer - to deflect culpability from McCarrick. The lengths to which the Vatican is going to defend McCarrick indicate that 1) they don't want any continuing investigation to be directed at them, and/or 2) McCarrick has a lot of dirt on them and is forcing this ludicrous attempt.
But the Vatican is also doing all it can to have themselves held harmless. The Catholic Standard published an article that essentially tried to shift moral responsibility for the pope's delay order onto the bishops themselves, In other words, the Standard is in cahoots with the cover-up. Nice try, guys, but no cigar! Yes, the US bishops have plenty of guilt owing to their ongoing coverup attempts, but much blame for this mess lies with the Vatican and Pope Francis himself.
By the way - I mentioned Taylor Marshall's interview with James Grein. Please take the time to watch the entire thing. It is very informative regarding McCarrick's early years, as he got his start in undermining the Church.
Please be discussing these matters with your friends at Church. Please make sure not to contribute to any archdiocesan collections, particularly those headed by dissident bishops. Now we must also urge boycotts of the Peter's Pence collections. Simply contribute directly to worthwhile charities and the more tradition-minded religious orders.

Of Papal Resignations And Depositions
The seemingly non-stop insults to Tradition coming from Pope Francis have led to much discussion regarding the possibility of deposing a sitting pope and, in this case, whether or not Benedict XVI's resignation was valid. Below are two videos. The first is a discussion between Taylor Marshall and Eric Sammons regarding the possibility of deposing a pope. As you listen, pay close attention at the 6:04 mark, when Sammons says, "there's only been one pope at a time; never has there been a case of two popes at a time."
That dovetails into Ann Barnhardt's video, in which she makes a case, from canon law, that the "resignation" proffered by Pope Benedict XVI was invalid. That being the case, Benedict is still pope and Jorge Bergoglio never has been. These videos are long, but they are well worth the investment of time to consider. You may agree or disagree with what these individuals say, but they raise questions that all faithful Catholics must ponder for we are indeed living in treacherous times, and much of that treachery comes from Church leadership. Now the videos...

Lovers Of Ecumenicide Pretend Muslims Worship Our God - They DON'T!
There is a great deal of confusion in the Church today as to whether or not Muslims worship the same God as do we. In fact many prelates, including our own Cardinal McCarrick, either are honestly confused about the matter or they exploit general confusion so that they may appear to be "ecumenical". Indeed, nine years ago at Catholic University His Eminence addressed some Muslim dignitaries; in that address he invoked "allah" three times but he gave not one mention to Jesus Christ. That address, which can be called de facto idolatry, is here.
Cardinal McCarrick and other devotees of ecumenicide often cite Lumen Gentium and the Catechism as their authorities. They are misreading those church documents. A few weeks ago Dr. Taylor Marshall posted an article that addressed this question. I link to it now; it's worth careful study. He points out that the Church documents state that the Muslims profess to worship the God of Abraham, and profess to hold faith in Him.
It's one thing to profess to worship God. It can be quite another to worship God in fact. Here's an example of this occurrence. We've all heard Nancy Pelosi's protestations of being a "good faithful Catholic". This is the same Pelosi who went on a rampage when her bishop upheld traditional marriage. This is the same Pelosi who was honored at Planned Parenthood's gala in March and said that" to be associated with the great Margaret Sanger is a distinct privilege" (she may well "enjoy that privilege" for all eternity if she doesn't repent, but I digress). She also believes Hamas to be a "humanitarian organization". So Pelosi may think she's a great Catholic, but reality indicates otherwise. Similarly, Muslims think they worship the God of Abraham but their actions indicate otherwise. The more vociferous Muslims state that we don't worship the same deity (more than we can say for Cardinal McCarrick); they just don't accept that they are the ones worshiping a false idol - if not actual demons.
Below is a video of Muslim jihadists burying alive opponents. This action (among so many others) is evidence that these monsters do NOT worship the One True God. Parents - you may wish to keep your small children from seeing this.

Dr. Taylor Marshall On The Fisher More College Situation
Dr. Taylor Marshall, former Chancellor at Fisher More College, has broken silence on the matter and revealed many details that show Fisher More College to be a plight-ridden school due to incompetence and dissidence on the part of its president, Dr. Michael King. Dr. Marshall has posted his statement on his Facebook page and I now link to it https://www.facebook.com/DrTaylorMarshall/posts/400180263452671
He alludes to "a public repudiation of Vatican II and the Ordinary Form of Mass in April 2013". I believe he is referring to this address given by Dr. John Dudley; here is the pdf. I've only gotten through page 12 and can attest to the disdain for the Ordinary Form contained therein. How a valid Mass "does not provide the same level of graces" as another valid Mass when the same Sacrament is present is a bit of a stretch, to say the least. If this is the kind of teaching championed by Dr. King, the financial bunglings were the least of his problems.
Getting back to Dr. Marshall's article, he states that Dr. King did not allow the Ordinary Form of Mass on campus and enlisted suspended priests to say the TLM. He also states that King hired "trad resistance" faculty; if the new hires were of the same ilk as Dr. Dudley, Dr. Marshall is correct.
So there was gross financial mismanagement, dissidence from Vatican II and disrespect for the Ordinary Form of Mass. Based on the words of both Dr. Marshall and Dr. Dudley, I must assume that to be the case. I now link to some questions that Pat Archibald publicly asks of the bishop, as some of those questions came to mind as I was reading what Dr. Marshall said. The main question is how the banning of the Traditional Latin Mass from the campus is supposed to address the financial and doctrinal misbehaviors of Dr. King. It would seem that any remedy, if it is to be effective, must address the specific issues at hand. The banning of the Traditional Latin Mass does not answer Dr. King's disdain of the Ordinary Form. I do gather that Dr. King still retains his position as president of Fisher More College. I have not heard whether or not Dr. Dudley is still on the faculty; at this time the FMC website is moving at a snail's pace so I cannot tell if that's the case. If these men are at least part of the problem with FMC, why do they remain while the Traditional Latin Mass is being given the heave-ho?
Again, I ask, if there are problems, why aren't the specific problems being addressed? The bishop's letter only spoke of the ban on the Traditional Latin Mass. Nowhere in it is mentioned any of the problems listed in Dr. Marshall's article. I for one fail to see how banning the Traditional Latin Mass will cure any financial difficulties there. It will only impinge upon the few students who still remain at FMC.
