The State Of Evil In The World

Below is a recording of a talk given by Father Chad Ripperger on January 5th at St Mary of Pine Bluff Catholic Church in Pine Bluff WI.  The topic of his talk revolves around the rampant evil in the world and inside the Catholic Church today.  He relates these matters to the disobedience of the admonitions given by Our Lady of Fatima.

I personally found it interesting when he spoke of the four sins that cry to heaven for vengeance.  I certainly understood how murder, particularly of the unborn and elderly, and homosexual vice fit into that.  One of the other evils is "defrauding the worker of his wages".  He stated that the onerous tax burdens laid on us by progressives in the government amounts to defrauding the worker of his wages.  It certainly shows another depth of depravity inherent in the "social gospel" that has been spoon-fed to us for decades and it makes much sense.

A ray of hope that Father mentions is the ever-increasing number of Catholics, particularly young Catholics, who are rediscovering their Catholic heritage through the Latin Mass.  I link now to a letter that Archbishop Vigano released yesterday that was occasioned by the death of Pope Benedict XVI.  He made no secret his displeasure regarding the proceedings from Vatican II and pointed out that Benedict's Moto Propitio played a pivotal role in making available the Latin Mass.

Corrupt Clergy Endeavor To Keep Young People From Holy Mass

Apparently taking inspiration from Father Reese, Cardinal Cupich followed his example, and more.  He not merely lamented young people going to Mass, he forbade Catholic students at the University of Chicago from attending Mass - all to keep safe from covid cooties, of course!  Mind you, the administration of the University of Chicago didn't issue this prohibition; it was purely the machination of Cardinal Cupich.  Cupich didn't just forbid them from going to Mass on campus, but also at nearby churches.

The article to which I linked speaks eloquently of the spiritual starvation that Cupich is wreaking on the Catholic students.  Indeed Cupich is spiritually abusing his young flock.  The author is speaking from her own experience as she herself is a student of the University of Chicago and is currently feeling the effects of Cupich's callous disregard of his episcopal duties.  He has quite a list of his transgressions over his sorry excuse of priestly life, some of which overlap my own list.

I will now link to a response to Father Reese's snit-fit, but won't comment about it.  Enjoy!  What I will also suggest is that you listen to the video, featuring an exchange between Taylor Marshall and Father Chad Ripperger about the merits of the Mass, particularly the Traditional Latin Mass.  In the interview, Fr. Ripperger mentioned an article called "Merit of the Mass", to which I just linked.
