From The Paradigm Shift Department: Allowing Perverts To Be Godparents And Tinkering With The Papal Conclave

Canon Law, specifically articles 872-874 of Chapter 4, are quite specific regarding the requirements for godparents.  First, there can be no more than one godparent of a given gender.  The godparent(s) must living a life in conformity to Catholic faith and morals.  Clearly no one can be a godparent who not only engages in mortal sin but who champions it.  That would include those engaging in sexual relations with another of the same gender are who considers themselves "transgender".  This past Wednesday, Francis and Bishop Touchy-Kissy signed a document that gives permissions for perverts to flout Canon law.  They are giving cover for the sin of sacrilege and for cooperating in the mortal sins of the perverts to be involved.

Meanwhile, there seems to be an effort underway to "reform the papal conclave" - in other words, to stack the papal electors so that another of Francis' mindset will succeed him when Francis is called to his eternal reward (such as that may be - pray for him).  Francis is currently "reviewing" it.  The upshot is that the cardinals over 80 years of age would be excluded from the preparatory phase and - here's the crucial part - have 25% of the electors comprised of laity and women religious.  All these would be appointed by Francis.  In short, Sister Mary Pantsuit would cast a vote for the next "pontiff".

Ladies and gentlemen, when Francis yammered on about "paradigm shifts", he wasn't kidding.  He intends to distort and turn the Church into some kind of horrible caricature of its former self.  He's not even trying to hide it anymore.  Are we awake yet?

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, 

Christian Kendzierski

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.

Archdiocese Of Baltimore's Not-So-Prolife Office

Here we have the webpage of the Archdiocese of Baltimore's Respect Life Office.  You will notice at the bottom of the page that Erin Younkins is the Director of Life, Justice and Peace. 

Now take a look at the site belonging to the Archdiocese of Baltimore Social Ministry Convocation - the outfit putting on that progressive gab fest this coming weekend.  Take a look at their 2023 Planning Committee.  Notice that Erin Younkins is a member of that committee.  I highly doubt that the transgender-coddling workshop would be allowed to happen without Younkins' permission, if not her approval.  Younkins' involvement of this was pointed out to me by an alert Catholic.

As pointed out in one of my previous posts, the allowance of that workshop is a prime example of the Catholic Church of Baltimore cooperating in the mortal sin of sexual perversion.  No one truly pro-life can countenance any insult to the Church teaching and tradition regarding marriage, sexuality, life.  If ever there was a "seamless garment" in Catholic moral theology, it can be found in Humanae Vitae, Casti Commubi and other documents.  Unless Younkins is completely bereft of common sense, she has to be aware of that.  

I therefore emailed her the following message two days ago:

Ms. Younkins, I write to you in your capacity as the Director of the Office of Life, Justice and Peace for the Archdiocese of Baltimore.  

No doubt you are aware of the gathering that will occur this coming Saturday at Mercy High School of the Archdiocese of Baltimore Social Ministry Convocation.  You are listed on the 2023 Planning Committee.  I and others have scoured that website and find not one mention of abortion, an evil that the USCCB described as the greatest social evil.  We find all sorts of other issues mentioned, all of which any radical proponent of baby-slaughter could use to claim alliance and compliance with the Church.  

Most troubling is workshop #12, obviously designed to garner support for gender-confused individuals as they engage in objectively mortal sins of sexual perversions.  That the Archdiocese of Baltimore is lending its name to that constitutes a serious sin of scandal. You in particular bear responsibility if you do not publicly and vehemently denounce that workshop.  The individuals slated to speak at that workshop need to be guided to repentance and healing, not applauded as they literally careen towards misery in this life and likely damnation in the next. 

Please be advised that this communication and any responses (or lack thereof) will be publicized.  

As you might have suspected, I have received no reply at the time I am writing this blog piece.  Her email address is Erin.Younkins@archbalt.org.  The phone number on that web page is 410-547-5537.  Why not you, dear readers, drop her a line or two and let her know of your displeasure?

Archdiocese Of Baltimore Social Ministry Convocation Needs To Be Picketed

The 44th Annual Social Ministry Convocation, sponsored by the Archdiocese of Baltimore, will happen on February 25 at Mercy High School on Northern Parkway in Baltimore.  You'll notice that the website url shows that it is on the server of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

Take a look at the workshops.  The very first one is being conducted by members of Pax Christi, a dissident group if ever there was one.  Look who their Board President is - Bishop John Stowe of Lexington Kentucky - yes, him!  He threw the Covingoton Boys under the bus, never apologizing after they were exonerated.  During "pride week" in 2020, he apologized to gays for the Church's teachings on sinful relations.  I don't have time to examine the other board members at the moment.  Upon further examination of the workshop's description, we notice that little part about "cooperation with other like-minded groups"?  Just what groups might that be?  Why, other anti-God and leftist cabals, of course.

Moving further down, we see an even worse workshop entitled "Come And Listen: Transgender Catholic Families And Individuals Share Their Experiences Living In A Catholic Parish".  Were these individuals mistreated?  I would venture to say "yes" IF they were not encouraged and/or admonished to repent of sinful sexual conduct and avail themselves of the Sacrament of Confession.  However, I suspect their definition of mistreatment might be some actual proclamation of truth necessary to their salvation.  In other words, it will be a perversion-coddling sob-story session.

The next one appears to be advising border-crashers how to evade the few immigration-control laws that we have.  The description in its original Spanish is "Lo que necesita saber sobre la ley del Real ID y las implicaciones para la comunidad indocumentada"  Pope that into Google Translate and we have "What you need to know about the Real ID law and its implications for the undocumented community"

"Undocumented community" is just a polite way of calling these people "cabals of border-crashers showing utter disregard for our laws.

To sum up, we see in these workshops such topics as environmentalism, racism, coddling illegal immigrants, and so on.  Now what do we not see?  You guessed it!  Nary a peep is uttered about the baby-slaughter known as abortion.  The fact is that Maryland is now an abortion-mecca, with two late-term butcher shops to our disgrace.  We also see nothing about euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research.  I might point out that the Church, in its insane push for Covid vaccination, actually participated in the sin of embryonic stem cell research, but I digress.

As much as many good people want to eradicate abortion from our cultural landscape, we will not succeed until we purge the advocacy of abortion from our Church hierarchy.  We can make a jab at it on Feb 25.  The gabfest is slated to run between 9am to 3pm.  As we finalize courses of action, we will communicate them to our readers via a future blog post.

Jesuit Sacrileges And Heresies, Courtesy Of Father James Martin And The Pope

 In a facebook post, Father James Martin touts the dribblings of a feminist heretic who refers to God in the feminine.  Please note that in his commentary, Martin also refers to God as a female, thus overtly participating in the heresy and sacrilege.

Please also notice how she says "you don't have to be good", in direct contradiction to Our Lord's admonition to "be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect".  That is found in Matthew 5:48.  By the way, Our Lord used the word "Father", not some androgynous gobblygoop.  This woman McBride holds a number of position, including Director of Campus Ministry at St Martin de Porres High School in Cleveland Ohio.  She is leading many young impressionable people astray.  Pray for their protection and her repentance because "if anyone causes these little ones - those who believe in me - to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." Matthew 18:6

Here is yet another.  Father Martin is being none too discreet about things now, is he?  Why is he getting bolder and more overt about his disregard for God and how He calls Himself?  Usually these progressives wax pompous about respecting people's "chosen pronouns".  Doesn't God Almighty deserve at least that token of respect?

Dear friends: Here is an invitation to what looks like a wonderful lecture by Sister Elizabeth Johnson, CSJ,...

Meanwhile, Pope Francis is trying to scare us about the climate-change hoax.  Borrowing nonsense from Al Gore and Barack Obama, he "warns" of a "great flood" due to "global warming".  Ironically, he does this while casting doubt on the historical accuracy of the flood report as found in Genesis.  However, also in Genesis is God's promise never to again destroy the world by means of a flood.  So is the pope saying that God could renege on His word?

These progressives are being more blatant about their contempt for the Faith because they think they can be.  However, they also serve to make plain their absolute lack of spiritual, intellectual and moral credibility.  Nothing they say can be taken at face value, for they are false teachers, wolves in shepherds' clothing indeed.
