Perversion-Enabling Workshop At Baltimore Catholic Meeting - Cancelled, But Problems Still Abounded

In response to my communication to Erin Younkins last week regarding the scandalous workshop that was to have been part and parcel of the Archdiocese of Baltimore Social Ministry Convocation, I received the following email late Friday afternoon from the Archdiocese

Hi  – I know you expressed concerns about the Social Ministry Convocation and I wanted to touch base to let you know that workshop on transgender sharing stories has been cancelled and removed from the schedule.

Thank you,

Accordingly, it was determined that the reason for our presence on the sidewalk in front of Mercy High School no longer existed, so we opted not to be there.  I have it on good authority that the workshop was indeed cancelled.  However, I also know that this gab fest was still quite gay-infested.  I will have more to say on this as I receive the wretched details.

I've no doubt that many faithful Baltimore-area Catholics registered their concerns with the Archdiocese of Baltimore.  This episode proves once again that when faithful Catholics discharge their responsibilities and hold Church leaders to fidelity to Church teaching, that constructive results can and will happen. 

While we can rejoice that the Archdiocese of Baltimore canceled the workshop, we soberly acknowledge that had we not exposed this and called them out on it, that the workshop would have been conducted.  This is why we must always remain vigilant.  We, each and every one of us, and that means YOU, have a solemn duty to call out unrighteousness when we see it.  Yes, we must pray and offer sacrifices, but not even these will be sufficient if we content ourselves to do so only within the relatively safe confines of our churches and homes.  While engaging in those spiritual exercises, we need to speak and act publicly.  Often enough, we will see the benefits.

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.

Pope Leads The Charge In Vilifying Faithful Catholics

Lately we've seen quite a spate of faithful priests and Catholic laity being tossed to the curb for the "high crime and misdemeanor" of - being a Catholic faithful to the timeless teachings and traditions of Jesus Christ and by extension to His Church.

Father Eduard Perrone, pastor of Assumption Grotto in the Archdiocese of Detroit, has promoted the traditional liturgy and has stood for orthodoxy.  The archdiocese has placed him on leave after receiving a "credible allegation of sexual abuse of a minor".  This parish just happens to be the parish of Michael Voris.  In this Church Militant article, you can see Voris and other parishioners confront the episcopal vicar, Msgr Michael Bugarin, after Mass and let him know that they weren't swallowing the baloney.  Please take the time to watch these videos.  Chances are that we will find it incumbent upon ourselves to take similar actions.  It certainly is heart-warming to see Catholics no longer just sitting on their hands and being silent in the face of these atrocities.  And yes, it was rather fun to watch Bugarin squirm as he was called out on his own disregard for due process under canon law, and other assorted acts of hypocrisy committed by both him and Archbishop Vigneron.

Meanwhile in Minneapolis, Fr Vaughn Treco, pastor of St. Bede the Venerable and a priest of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter has found himself excommunicated and his parish closed after he criticized the actions of some popes during and after the Second Vatican Council.  You can listen to the "offending homily" here.  Mind you, Fr James Martin and others of his ilk spread their homophile bile in pulpit after pulpit and they receive lauds and adulations for so polluting those churches, with nary a slap on the wrists.  Listen to Father Treco's homily in the link and if you detect any heresy or even errors, please advise in the comments.

In Italy yet another faithful order has been destroyed.  The malefactors from the Vatican didn't even bother to trump up any charges against them.  But maybe this talk that Pope Francis gave two years ago some clues.  Below the video I will have commentary.



So those who understand that Christ's teachings are clear and immutable are "fanatics" and we "sow division in the Church".  Well, guess what?  Without a solid basis in Godly teachings, any "unity" will necessarily be an utter sham.  While this is two years old, it shows that the treatment being meted out to these two priests and many other faithful Catholics is very likely part of a coordinated effort to expunge the Church of all true followers of Christ and His teachings.  Two lessons:

1. We can expect similar treatment - no exceptions.  Any who hold positions in parishes can expect to be expelled from those positions if they remain faithful to Church teachings.
2. We should be prepared to speak truth to evil, as the Assumption parishioners did with Msgr Bugarin.

More Catholics Standing Up- NJ Catholics Protest Pride Mass

While it is enraging to read of a Catholic Church being profaned by its own pastor, it is also heart-warming to see Catholics stepping out of their comfort zones to confront such evils.  Church Militant said that Cardinal Joseph Tobin did nothing.  I believe that's not the case.  Knowing Tobin's disgusting relationships with gays in the past, I'd be willing to bet that Cardinal Tobin was cheering on the blasphemies and sacrileges that must have happened during that "Mass".  One hopes that the priest conducting the mass had no intention of consecrating the host during the debacle, preventing a real Host from being profaned.

Anyway, let's see more of what those praying Catholics did outside of Our Lady of Grace and St Joseph in Hoboken.

Kudos To Faithful Catholics Of Scranton PA

When it was announced that disgraced Cardinal Mahony was going to represent the pope at the 150th anniversary Mass for the Diocese of Scranton, faithful Catholics protested loudly to that chancery.  They threatened a protest of the event if it went through.  The chancery saw the light and later announced that Mahony was "unable to attend" the event.

Faithful Catholics, never believe the pernicious lie that your voice doesn't matter.  The above account (and others told on this blog) constitute proof that you can be heard and heeded as you raise your voice for the Faith.  Pray.  Band together with other faithful Catholics.  Strategize with one another as their is strength in numbers.  Through God's grace and your hard work, you can and must play a part in restoring our Church and culture for Christ.
