Ireland has gone further than the pagans

Cardinal Raymond Burke, who was recently moved from a senior role in the Vatican to be patron of the Order of Malta, told the Newman Society, Oxford University’s Catholic Society, last night that he struggled to understand “any nation redefining marriage”.

Visibly moved, he went on: “I mean, this is a defiance of God. It’s just incredible. Pagans may have tolerated homosexual behaviours, they never dared to say this was marriage.”

The more I learn about the energy Enda Kenny put into turning Ireland into Sodom, the more accountable Fr. William Leahy of Boston College becomes to the demoralization of generations of Irish Catholics.

As readers here will remember, shortly after Enda unleashed abortion laws to devour Irish women and children, Fr. Leahy selected him to bestow B.C. Law School honorary degree for upholding Catholic doctrine in laws.

The defiant affirmation to Enda, whose intellect was clearly exhibiting the effects of sin needing absolution - i.e. the squash rot of finding virtue in slaying children - empowered Enda to continue on his reckless trajectory. Shortly after, Enda disclosed his shockingly pagan view of God and disbelief in the Sacraments.

For Fr. Leahy, when it came to selecting a man to honor for codifying Catholic values into laws, there's nothing like an apostate and murderer of children.

Sometimes, when I observe the vineyard from the big picture, it becomes clear that there is one particular person in a locus who is mass murdering souls with spiritual contagion.

I've always found the damage done by Fr. Leahy to generations of Catholic children, catastrophic. The empowerment he gave Enda that day has now borne its fruits in another country.

Boston prolifers put the squeezola on Cardinal O'Malley to boycott Fr. Leahy's massacre. Little did we all know the magnitude of the crime we steered him from leaving his fingerprints.

Cardinal Kasper Claims Irish Referendum Will Make Civil Unions Central to Synod

This revelation almost gives consideration to a more sinister motive for the silence from the Holy See.

Maybe if we come up with the theory that gay sex is the cause of global warming, the Holy Father would stop building Mapplethorpe in Vatican City.

It sounds like they're going to attempt to flush the entire Catechism down the toilet.

a new “theology of love”: sexuality as a precious gift of God, as itself an expression of love
the Church's acceptance of homosexual unions
the Church's listening to the voice of the Baptized in moral questions
sexuality as basis for a long-lasting relationship

There is no other way to say it. Positively demonic.

If the Holy Father sends this out into the world, he's a no good so and so.

Brandeis University preventing appointment of Catholic Priest and obstructing Mass?

Our friends at BCI have posted a very disturbing post about Brandeis University.

Sources tell BCI that in leaving Brandeis, Fr. Cuenin organized a student “initiative” to change the nature of Chaplaincy. Initially, Brandeis said they would be working with the Boston Archdiocese to fill the role. Fr. Dan Moloney was proposed by the Boston Archdiocese and started saying Masses at Brandeis in early February. But Brandeis said they wanted to consider a new vision for the chaplaincy. We are told that Fr. Moloney was found by the “Cuenin acolytes” to be “inadequately liberal, aka Cuenine” and rejected. He is not longer there, sources also tell us there is no regular Catholic Mass on campus, and students are still being directed to “progressive” Churches that may not be anywhere near Waltham. We have also heard that Cuenin is still “advising”, aka undermining, the Brandeis Catholic students, even sending them to WomenPriests for Mass.

Do you believe Walter Cuenin is still yanking students into vices from the spiritual treatment center?

I've never been able to understand how the Archdiocese got away with sending a priest with an obsession about gay sex to a college where young teenage boys could cause a stir in his own trousers.

You are obsessed with gay sex so we're going to pluck you out of the parish. Please give us back the money you stole. Your new assignment is the men's locker room at the gym. Talk about stupidity.

According to BCI sources, Brandeis has put a member of the faculty who is gaga for Buddah and 'gay religion' to spearhead 'the search for a new chaplain'. In the meantime, another dame is directing students away from local priests to distant parishes where students are lured into the trap of adulterous relationships.

BCI cannot fathom how a secular college committee of any sort–let alone one set-up like this–would be in a position to set the requirements for a Catholic priest/chaplain.

What in Sam Hill is going on here?

Some phone calls are in order. I'll post some numbers on Monday.

Update on fired Seton Hall Priest

He admits he has same-sex attractions and asks for a'sabbatical'.

Cut it out!

The NJ priest said he's committed to celibacy but simply desired to make public announcements on where his lust is directed. Explaining the reasons why he spent years encouraging same sex to his flock.

Catholics need to have insight into the objects of his lustful thoughts about as much as we need to know what size underpants they wear.

Just teach our children the Magisterium and tools for salvation and keep your attractions to sin and vices in the confessional where they belong.

Get over yourself. Asking children to endorse a situation that robs them of their salvation is despicable.

It is half-passed time the Holy Father make judgments that homosexual priests have infested the world with their errors instead of teaching and sanctifying our children and leave worries about the temperature of the earth to scientists and fringe lunatics.

He watched his children endangered and his only gesture was appointing a gay priest who said sodomy is Eucharistic to the Holy See.

Think about that.

What to do when you feel like saying something heretical.

I think we may finally be getting to the bottom of the little problem we have in Rome.

A few days ago, the Holy Father made an announcement that he felt like saying something heretical. And then, he went right ahead and said it.

Let's examine what happens in the intellect when we have a thought in our brain that could be construed as heretical.


The word processor in the cerebellum struggles with talking points that feel and sound heretical.



1. Keep working through vocabulary and syntax until there is no confusion about the message.
2. Find another topic.
3. You firmly shut your piehole.
4. Keep your mouth shut.


You don't say it, especially when you are a Pope!

Secret Meeting Hopes to Change Theology of the Body to Theology of Fornication

Cardinal Marx spearheading Friends with Benefits theme for Synod.

Let me guess. Pope Francis and the Holy See will do nothing about it and when the theme of the synod is Go Ahead and Roll Like Thunder Under the Covers, the Secretary of State will announce it's another defeat for humanity.

The Vatican finally comments on the mess in Ireland.

Secretary of State calls the vote a defeat for humanity.

It's a bit like watching their employees, stinken drunk, drive buses full of children on the highway, while making frantic phone calls for decades asking them to do something about it and when the bus crashes and kills 65% of those on board, have them issue a statement saying what a defeat it is for humanity.

Excuse us sirs, but when are you going to do something about homosexual clergy and the lesbian nuns who are telling generations of children fornication and sodomy is ok with Jesus?

Because, here's the reality check: You are hiring them to form theology on the family for the Pope and in case it isn't obvious, we've had more than enough.

NYT celebrates Pope Francis revival of liberation theology

Heresy is a gift that keeps on giving.


As expected, the beatification of Archbishop Romero has given the uncatechized the idea that liberation theology is is no longer heretical and dangerous. This outcome is the exact reason why Archbishop Romero's candidacy for sainthood was never given consideration.

Look, I have always admired Archbishop Romero's love for the Eucharist. There are few priests who would walk into the firestorm of bullets to rescue the Blessed Sacrament from the government's thugs. His bravery and love for the Sacred Body and Blood of Christ has always moved me.

I've told this story before, but when the Boston Globe covered the closing of a parish here in Boston, we read daily stories about how the Archdiocese was removing windows and pews and other things of monetary value. When the day came to lock the place up, the media covered the teers and goodbyes. Somebody doing a security check several weeks later discovered they forgot to remove Christ from the Sanctuary. I was so ripped I called the poor priest in the Office of Worship and said if he didn't call me back in two hours to tell me Christ was removed, I was going down with a group of people and we would take care of it ourselves. I still get mad when I think about it now!

In a world of such craven indifference, Archbishop Romero's bravery is not to be poo-pooed.

I looked for a simple definition of liberation theology and found this was as good as any.

Liberation theology was a theological movement that began in the late 1960s in Latin America. It emphasized that the gospel was meant to liberate the downtrodden from their earthly poverty and oppression, with little or no emphasis on spiritual liberation from sin. The main problem with this approach to the gospel is that while Jesus had concern for the poor and distributed alms to them (John 13:29), he was much more concerned about the spiritual welfare of all mankind, whom he had come to save from sin, not from destitution.

This resonates with Pope Francis giving the nudge, nudge, wink, wink to adultery while focusing on the economy and the temperature of the earth, does it not?

There are differing opinions about the theology of Archbishop Romero. I'm not an expert about his history but what I have read led me to the conclusion he was an Opus Dei priest with the aroma of marxism. Most of the brilliant minds and saints examining the content of his work have concluded the same.

Here is the Boston Globe's opinion.

In his own country, critics of Romero charged him with supporting violence, communism, and heresy. Others applauded him for the same reasons. Murals and T-shirts portraying Romero alongside Salvador Allende, Chile’s slain Marxist president, and Ernesto “Che” Guevara are common in Central America.

Here's another Globe article published a few days ago saying Archbishop Romero wasn't a liberation theologian, he just wasn't against it!

The conclusion being, when it came to the rising of the devil to convince his people absolution of sin isn't necessary, this was not a compelling spiritual problem for an Archbishop and physician of souls.

In other words, the claim is, Archbishop Romero wasn't against his people being taught to abandon absolution of sin.

No evangelist for Christ would be happy from the grave with that legacy.

It is strikingly familiar to the Holy Father's refusal to distribute the temporal goods of the Church, even when under a serious assault such as the gay marriage referendum in Ireland, while focusing on the worldly distribution of money.

I keep wondering about Pope's Francis' view of the fruit of his papacy.

When elected to the Chair of Peter, he inherited a world full of families who were victims of the heretics the Church ordains and refuses to discipline and a world calling them to immorality and sodomy and sin.

His assessment of the problem was there was too much catechesis and his solution was to stop catechizing and let the world form consciences. Elton John praises him and gets married. The world publishes hundreds of statements which imply adultery doesn't obstruct salvation. Every heretical rag brainwashing his people to embrace same sex sex hails him as their cultural hero. An entire country full of his people becomes the haunt of demons.

I can't help thinking he perceives his job as filling stomachs.

But, even if one were deluded into thinking that when Christ asked Peter to feed his people, He meant heretics and food for their stomach, one would think that after two years of seeing the fruit of this experiment, you'd say to yourself - Gee, maybe the 2000 years of theologians before me were right. Maybe the mothers begging me to substantiate and teach the tools to a life pursuing sanctifying Grace need some help.

Is it possible to open the newspaper to see your agenda being aligned with that of Herod and Herodias, tyrants and murderers, and not say to yourself, Just a minute here, something is going awry.

It is possible to be so wrapped up in one's own adulation that you can watch the devil about to flush a toilet filled with generations of people and your reaction is, How's that global warming theory coming along?

Can one sit in one's ivory tower until the deafening sucking sound dissipates so you can move on to telling them about your concerns about the ozone?

I found Archbistop Diarmuid Martin's comments after the referendum positively breathtaking.

He said 'the Church' needs a 'reality check'.

They need a reality check all right.

“Most of these young people who voted Yes are products of our Catholic schools for 12 years,” he said. “There’s a big challenge there to see how we get across the message of the church...We need to sit down and say ‘are we reaching out at all to young people?’ .

How's that for a kick in the head.

The problem is the exact opposite. The homosexual priests and bishops and lesbian nuns in 'the Church' have been very effective in 'reaching out' and getting 'across the message' Church teaching on having same sex is a sin is an antiquated rule they need not concern themselves about. Some of our parishes operate catholic match programs to find same-sex lovers with the homosexual priests as the matchmakers.

Who are they kidding?

We have numerous homosexual priests in every diocese who are shacking up with their same-sex lovers. Some of them are secretly conferring a 'Catholic blessing' on a same sex marriage, simulating the Catholic Sacrament of Marriage.

Our children are saturated with the messages of homosexual priests and lesbian nuns.

There is a library of complaints in every chancery in the world which have been forwarded to the Holy See. "The Church" has turned a blind eye to the damage being done - much like they did with the pedophiles they ordained.

Pope Francis has spent two years 'getting across the message' that the homosexual priests and lesbian nuns who told them to go ahead and find a same-sex lover and have sex - were correct in their theology--that their parents were antiquated sourpusses who don't love them enough.

The messages to our youth have been received. The fruit is in full blossom.

October Synod on the Family - Here we go again.

Rorate has the scoopero:


On Monday [May 25], European episcopates will debate the welcoming of remarried divorcees and homosexuals in the Church.

The initiative has remained very discreet, indeed secret, but it is important. According to our information, three episcopates -- the German, the Swiss, and the French -- have gotten together in order to organize, behind closed doors, on Monday, May 25, in Rome, in the premises of the Jesuit Gregorian University, a day of studies centered on the welcoming of remarried divorcees and homosexual persons in the Church. Renowned German theologians will take the floor before a chosen audience of only fifty people. The closing conference will be delivered by Cardinal Reinhard Marx, President of the German Bishops' Conference. Along with Cardinal Walter Kasper, this influential cardinal -- a member of the C9, the Pope's close council -- works actively for a policy of opening of the Catholic Church on these dossiers.

At the Vatican, only a few personalities have received an invitation.

They have quite a job ahead of them to outdo last year's charade.

Don't worry folks. The Pope will get right on it and halt the perversion of minds and souls by the people he's appointed to articulate his theology on the family.

Oh wait...

You really have to wonder if Cardinals Kasper and Marx announced they were modeling Pope Francis new Liturgical vestments for clergy and came out into St. Peter's Square and dropped their drawers to reveal rainbow underpants, whether Pope Francis would applaud from the balcony.


Equo ne credite.

Ireland takes its cue from Pope Francis and charts new course to same sex sex to stay relevant.

That's what the author of this article claims and I couldn't agree more.

"...Ireland will be looking at a new church, humbled in the aftermath of revelations of child sex-abuse but determined to stay relevant by charting a new course, one that some say is modeled on Pope Francis’ efforts to revitalize worldwide Catholicism..."

There's a new marketing plan to damage control ordaining and protecting pedophiles: Shepherding Catholics to have same sex.

How the Catholic Church won friends and influenced people through evangelizing the virtue of clapping fornication.

Let's be honest. It has resulted in an awful lot of people liking Pope Francis and it certainly has his picture published on the cover of magazines at least as often as Bruce Jenner.

However, those of us who see and understand the consequences of this marketing plan keep responding with a valuable lesson we learned as children about deception - Gradmmmmmmaaaaa, what big teeth you have!!!

Here's a quote from a wolf that doesn't really capture the fragrance of Pope Francis' papacy:

“[Francis] is a man who speaks about ordinary things: about mercy, about love, fun, smiling. Not about condemning this or that."

But that is simply not true, is it.

The Holy Father condemns mothers who risk the environment with their openness to life. He condemns moral theology of the Church. He condemns right judgment. He condemns 2000 years of Popes before him. He condemned people who recite the Creed. He condemns Catholics who fled to Summorum Pontificum to protect their children from the disordered priests he refuses to rightly order and shepherd.

There's a mother list of condemnations.

With an entire country full of Irish people at risk of being led by the nose into an abyss, I kept refreshing my browser this week to see if Pope Francis would say something to "pastor" them into a rightly order conscience. The situation is an indictment of the scores of ordained homosexuals who have led his people into moral chaos and temptation.

With all the minutia he spends his time commenting upon, one would think an entire country full of souls and the generations that will follow would be worth at attempt to save.

But he and his administration focused on litter and smog.

A little fresh air while committing adultery will keep Catholics on the road to salvation, that's what I always say.

I will spare you my own sentiments about the Holy Father's silence as my people walk like zombies into a devil's trap, and my disgust with his priority of worldly intellectual debates about the nonexistent 'global warming'.

I also found the above quote interesting because it resonates with something Pope Francis said earlier this week which instructed bishops not to catechize Catholics, just be a 'pastor' to them.

Pope Francis has told bishops to act more like pastors than “pilots” telling the faithful what to do.

He seems to be confusing the role of a physician of souls with the jugglers and clowns at Barnum and Bailey's circus.

What good is a 'pastor' who won't show you the right path to salvation?

Pastors like that we will meet in hell.

At the time of writing of this post, the result of the referendum isn't in. Please continue to keep the ignorant, uncatechized and demoralized Catholics of Ireland in your prayers.


UPDATE

The referendum passed.

Thank you Pope Francis for the two years of instructing the woman at the well about smiling and smog while appointing Cardinal Marx and Cardinal Kasper to testify to her the allegation you perceive virtue in same sex and giving her the witness of Rev Timothy Radcliffe to blaspheme the Sacred Eucharist as sodomy.

That really helped us all out.

As you appoint heretics and the devil is misleads your people with unprecedented power, perhaps you could next pastor them into the ancient debate about the earth being flat.

The ridiculousness is a gift that keeps on giving.

All I can think of at this moment are words from Mother Teresa of Calcutta:

“We the willing,

led by the unknowing,

are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

We have done so much,

with so little,

for so long,

we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing.”

Tragedy in Ireland

It pains me to see my homeland being led into Sodom.

Prayers for my beloved country and people.

Does the Pope believe his role is about saving his people from the effects of dirty energy?

This is quite a statement from the Secretary of State:


"When the future of the planet is at stake, there are no political frontiers, barriers or walls behind which we can hide to protect ourselves from the effects of environmental and social degradation," Parolin's message said.

If I am following the Holy Father's logic, he believes the visions in the Book of Revelation are not about the tragic effects of mortal sin, but about prosperity and littering.

Sodom and Gommorah was destroyed by the failure to protect themselves from, you know, dirty energy. The immorality and sodomy had nothing to do with it.

One should appoint heretics who encourage sodomy and then focus on saving the world from smog.

I keep watching the history of Pope Francis appointee Rev. Timothy Radcliffe. He has taught that gay sex 'expresses Christ's self gift".

This appointment is simply outrageous.

Pope: Denying climate change is dereliction of duty.

Practicing Catholics: Denying heresy is a dereliction of duty.

More Good News: Pope halts publication of screwball climate change encyclical

Sandro Magister broke story which claims Pope Francis had concerns it would be theologically debunked by the CDF.

Griping about contraception and moral theology completely shut down catechesis.

And griping is exactly how we can shut down the resurgence of Woodstock and Mapplethorpe.

Grab a ministry, keep watch over it and have your poison pen ready.

Good News: Seton Hall Priest Shilling for Gay Marriage Gets Fired

The tweet, which has been taken down, said he got canned for using his Facebook page to back California-based NoH8 Campaign, which began in 2008 in response to the state's Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage. “I've been fired from SHU for posting a pic on FB supporting LGBT 'No H8'.”...

Representatives for the South Orange-based Roman Catholic university told the publication that the priest was appointed by the Archbishop of Newark (Archbishop Meyers who takes his vocation seriously) and “serves at his discretion.”

Prayers for Archbishop Meyers, the priest and most especially the many children he led into temptation while at Seton Hall.

Death Penalty for Tsarnaev

Death penalthy for Tsarnaev

There are few cases in which the teachings of the Church would apply to the executing a criminal for the safety of world.

This is one of them.

There was a mountain of evidence that demonstrated he is an unrepentant soldier of the radical agenda of islam.

The photograph of him giving the finger in federal court was another compelling piece of evidence that demonstrated he continues to be a dangerous soldier in the war of terror.

I am so grateful for the service of jurors who served and had the courage to convict and sentence Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

There are no celebrations but neither is their sorrow.

Practicing Catholics will pray for his conversion prior to the carrying out of his sentence.

Pope Appoints Heretic to Pontifical Council on Peace and Justice

“It is heartening to see the wave of support for gay marriages."~Fr. Timothy Radcliffe



Vatican Radio announced today that Dominican Fr. Timothy Radcliffe is being appointed as consultor to the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.

Are there any heterosexuals affiliated with the 'justice and peace' crowd?


It has always seemed to me to be effeminate/androgynous priests with a long histories of political and theological advocacy of adultery, gay marriage, contraception, helping elect proabort politicians, boohooing about prohibitions against women's ordination and the other heresies that lead souls into perdition.

I've always thought of the "Peace and Justice" dicastery as the Vatican's human rights campaign to promote contraception, abortion and gay marriage.

I have not heard a peep from this group in the United States about the ethnic cleansing of Christians by the muslims which has been going on now since the election of Barack Hussein.

They should be high profile educating Americans about the atrocities at the hands of the mohammadens. Their silence is deafening.

In twenty years of work of human rights campaign for children slaughtered in the womb, I have never encountered the Peace and Justice people.

In the important human rights campaign of legally banning abortions after twenty weeks, they are absent.

After years of observing and encountering Peace and Justice crowd, I long ago concluded it's the life work of reinventing those three days in Woodstock.

If I were a Pope looking for the herd of elephants trampling the pearls of salvation, the Peace and Justice Commission would be my first stop.

The thing should be disbanded and all sent for an intense year of spiritual therapy.

But Pope Francis is stacking the deck with another androgynous-looking heretic.

A journalist at Crux writes that the appointment "is sure to raise eyebrows".

In a move sure to raise eyebrows among the Church’s traditional guard,

a.) Anyone who is surprised by Pope Francis appointment of a heretic to lead his people from 2000 years of faithfulness to God, is a person whose head is in the sand.

b.) Duly note how Pope Francis reign has reduced Church teaching into 'traditions' which the Holy Father is changing with the appointment of heretics.

Pope Francis has turned unchanging Truth into antiquated habits he was elected to the papacy to break.

All watching naturally presume his appointment of heretics is the carrying out of the agenda he keeps telling us is his role in the Church.

This is a rational assumption of anyone and everyone who has the fortitude to face reality.

The Pope knows the outcome of appointing the heretics. It leads people to believe in heresies and practice what they are told is okay to do by them.

Nobody in their right mind appoints a heretic to convey Church teaching to souls they were ordained to lead to Truth and salvation.

It's akin to hiring nurse with a history of violently shaking babies to care for newborns at a hospital.


This is not the first heretic appointed by Pope Francis and it won't be his last.

As Mad as a Hatter

I wrote a cryptic blog post about Louis Verrechio being a jerk which deserves it's own post-especially in light of the responses in the comments section.

To be clear, lots o' people pick a side because they like this or that person - but I really look at an effect upon the mission of salvation and that is where I'm coming from.

Let's talk about Fr. Gruner who used his vocation to market the farcical conspiracy that Russia has never been consecrated. Everyone was in on the conspiracy, including Sr. Lucia who reportedly betrayed Our Lady and Christ's Church for all the corrupt men who circled her wagons and told her to go along with the lie.

Do you know how ridiculous that is?

A woman whom Our Lady selected to deliver her message to bishops, Fr. Gruner suggests would then turn around and lie about that message for liars?

This is a woman who as a young child was told to retract what she was saying or they would kill her - and she refused.

People can swallow a fable that corrupt men would later approach her and ask her to stand in the public square and lie about what Our Lady said and she went along with the charade?

Please!

And the reason for the charade is because Catholics who know the Mystical Body of Christ follows Christ's three years on earth, who have read the Book of Revelation and know the devil rises out of the abyss, pursues and murders us--these same Catholics are supposed to be too fraidy pants to disclose part of the message.

Are you people serious??!!!

Now - let's get to Our Lady.

If you follow the conspiracy, Our Lady's request was not accomplished because she only wanted the people in Russia consecrated.

More people were consecrated than she requested and so it did not fulfill her request.

What mother would ask her son to clean his room and when he cleaned the whole house claim he had not complied with her request?

That would be the conduct of a woman who needs a shrink, not the Queen of Heaven.

Here is a good chronology of events.


Note the world had been consecrated numerous times and Sr. Lucia did not hesitate to say it did not fulfill the request.

And then..

August 29, 1989 Sr. Lucia affirms in correspondence that the consecration "has been accomplished" and that "God will keep His word."

Fr. Gruner's conspiracies contradict what has been revealed. Take a look at who we are following:

The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fátima, on 13 July 1917.
I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.

It isn't Fr. Gruner, Lou Verrechio or SSPX. It's the Holy Father.

As you no doubt know, the assassination attempt on St. John Paul II was on the feast day of Our Lady of Fatima. A child was dressed as Our Lady of Fatima and he bent down to affectionately embrace the child. The change in his posture saved his life.

Pope Benedict helped explain some context:

The purpose of the vision is not to show a film of an irrevocably fixed future. Its meaning is exactly the opposite: it is meant to mobilize the forces of change in the right direction. Therefore we must totally discount fatalistic explanations of the “secret”, such as, for example, the claim that the would-be assassin of 13 May 1981 was merely an instrument of the divine plan guided by Providence and could not therefore have acted freely, or other similar ideas in circulation. Rather, the vision speaks of dangers and how we might be saved from them.

That is it.

Lou has a lot of crap here - so I am giving a general link to his blog so you can get a sense of the hysteria. The post that indicated he is a jerk is this one wherein he attempts to mitigate Fr. Gruner's malfeasance and loss of his faculties with a claim he has some goods that prove Fr. Nicholson's disclosures on the schismatics is hypocritical because Fr. N confided in him that he has a strained relationship with his bishop and they were hammering out an AGREEMENT to work his own apostolate so long as it has nothing to do with Voris - and Voris was helping to set Fr. Nicholson up with a laptop and other media resources.

If it is one thing I can't stomach, it's a Catholic who would give ammunition to a bishop who struggles with orthodox priests to defend the performance of schismatic acts. This guy is not interested in the Ark of the Covenant. He would join the enemy and sink Her if his own errors are debunked. He is the poster child for the reason faithful Catholics are kept out of seminaries and the Pope thinks people who have fled Mapplethorpe ride a broom.

Fatima Event Live on EWTN

What a magnificent opportunity!

It's Official

As far as I am concerned Lious Verrechio's has left little room for doubt: he's a jerk.

The Coren Interview

It must have been a bitter pill to put on a dog and pony show about Catholicism to fill his wallet.

The content of his admission indicates he's been living a doozy of a lie.

I often wonder if someday there will be a similar post at "Catholic and Enjoying It" or the Patheos crowd.

Coren must have been doing a lousy job as a Catholic journalist. In his farewell, he conflates the Eucharist with services where Transubstantiation does not take place. It was all the same to him.

Here's the question of the day: Why does the Catholic media known for their fidelity continue to employ individuals who are off of the reservation?

I don't get it.

Here, Catholic World Report expresses they employed him for a once-a-month column and admits they knew he was a mediocre theologian.

Here's the stupidist thing you'll read on the internet today:

Second, Coren is a good journalist and a fine communicator, but he is a mediocre theologian

Can anyone kindly explain what 'good' comes from a journalist they know is theologically misleading their readers?

Do they believe the entertainment is worth losing a few souls there and there?

Does it even enter their mind that stewing the poorly catehized in lousy theology is contrary to the purpose of our service to Christ as evangelists?

They certainly didn't do Coren any favors.

I don't mean to pick on Catholic World Report. This phenomenon has infested Catholic journalism. They have forgotten their first Love.

Educated Catholics are flocking to Pewsitter, ChurchMilitantTV and blogs to read finely-tuned, sound theology.

When a journalist discloses a flaw, the role of the apostolate employing him includes the casting of the net. That becomes more important than the deadlines and publication. A soul is floundering.

The last thing you do is publish his drivel for years because his drivel influences the uncatechized.

If there is an element of surprise when he tips his hat and says farewell, it is a conviction that your heart and mind and soul are not focused on the right things as an evangelist.

The Problem with Pope Francis

I did not closely follow Pope Francis buffoonery on the climate, but I did catch a few things said this week.

Pope Francis claimed that man is responsible for global warming.

Really? Then who was around to cause the great glacial meltdown 7,000 years ago?

The stone-age guy who lost this knife and a pair of mittens?

Doesn't the story of Noah's Ark reveal that God is the power behind the forces of nature that wipe the entirety of the earth to start again? Did Noah cause the great flood when he hammered planks together to build a boat?

Was it the green alligators and long-necked geese, the humpty-back camels and the chimpanzees?

Did the burning sulfur rain down on Sodom and Gommorah because people were not controlling the population?

The bankruptcy of common sense is not as mysterious as the role Pope Francis is playing as a holy scientist while his people are starving to death from the obstruction of sanctifying grace.

He is like a father who leaves the house every day and walks about town advising people about botany, bees and butterflies, instead of instructing and caring for his own children or going to work to bring home cash to feed, house and clothe his family.

The pagan and heretical nonsense Pope Francis is hosting at the Holy See is beyond scandalous.

While the Pope is using his energy to develop wild theories on global warming, his own dicastries are shilling for population control.

Population control is the antithesis of the Magnificat.

Population control is the unwillingness to be open to life.

Are people the cause of the destruction of their cities and towns?

In some ways yes, because unrepentant sin and godlessness of civilization is the reason God takes the drastic action of permitting or willing destruction.

Consequently, the Pope's gathering of the people of God in Vatican City to tell them the solution is birth control, it is actually paradoxical to the salvation of the earth and the immortal souls of its inhabitants.

Vatican City is giving out advice that is antithetical to salvation. I am loathe to even think about he implications of this mess, much less articulate them.

What I can say is I am sick of it.

I read a quote yesterday that said something like It's not that people don't know the solution, they don't even know the problem.

One of the things Chris Ferrara says in his Fatima Perspectives series is, there are so many scandals coming out of the Pope Francis Administration, one can hardly keep up with them.

True that.

Obama Bars Legal Immigration of Iraq Persecuted Nun

Here's a nun for whom laws were written about legal immigration into our country and yet the insidious Obama Administration has denied her visa.

Want to really get a laugh?

The State Department officials made the determination that the Catholic nun could be falsely asserting that she intends to visit Washington when secretly she could be intending to stay. That would constitute illegal immigration, and that, of course, is strictly forbidden. Once here, she could also be at risk for claiming political asylum, and the U.S. seems determined to deny ISIS’s Christian victims that status.

And of course everyone knows how strictly Barack Hussein has been upholding laws on immigration.

I guess she's the wrong color and religion for his amnesty policies or legal political asylum.

What are the chances Cardinal O'Malley will organize another publicity stunt to shed light on the obstruction of political asylum for Christians fleeing Obama-funded army of murderers of Christians?

Lou Verrechio's Latest

Wow, I haven't been to Lou Verechhio's blog in a long time - I could not believe what I was reading. It has become the haunt of sophomoric fools and liars. What a shipwreck.

Everything Fr. Paul Nicholson said about SSPX is right on the money. They are not faithful Catholics by any stretch of the imagination. They don't have faculties and they are simulating Sacraments.

Further, Lou's peculiar conspiracy theories about refusing to talk up SSPX to people who have no interest in the truth, was creepy.

Everyone following the controversy knows who SSPX is and the claims they make about what they hope to accomplish. We don't talk to SSPX for the same reason we don't see Lou giving air time to Joan Chittister to give her an opportunity to speak for herself. Lou already knows Joan is off of the reservation. Why would he waste time with a charade to talk about "allegations" she's a heretic? We've heard the words coming directly from her mouth and we know how to compare them against the Magisterium. The jury delivered the verdict decades ago.

The same verdict was delivered on SSPX. Their public statements are enough to convict them beyond a reasonable doubt. There is nothing further to discuss other than the invitations to admit their errors and come back to communion with Christ's Church.

Christian decency has nothing to do with declining an invitation to engage with the deceived and deceivers.

I had a lot of respect for Lou and he always struck me as affable. Watching the video, he comes across as a jerk.

Come on Lou, pull it together. Time for a retreat!

Results of Catechesis

The former director of "Catholics for Equality", a group that has been persuading Catholics to commit adultery since its inception is in the news claiming the teachings of the "Catholic Church" on same sex sex are "evolving".

"Jesus is calling on all of us to care for the sick, the poor, the marginalized, and the oppressed. It's Catholic social justice," he explained. "Most Catholics understand that. That's why, in poll after poll, Catholics support equality, including marriage equality, more than the national average -- in fact, normally, 10 to 15 points higher than the national average."

There is nothing like the social justice of encouraging other Catholics to give up their salvation and break the Ten Commandments, that is what I always say.

The social justice of suicide prevention ministers who'll tell you to go ahead and do it.

Attey quotes a poll done by Pew Research that I never saw before:

A national poll conducted in March 2014 by Pew Research shows that 57 percent of U.S. Catholics say they support changing the definition of marriage, which is within several points of the national average. The poll showed that 65 percent of Catholics who attend Mass less than once per week support same-sex "marriage," while 45 percent of Catholics who attend at least once per week support changing the definition of marriage.

What a miserable indictment of the catechesis of priests in the United States. Forty-five percent of Mass-going Catholics - nearly half - encouraging our brothers and sisters to commit adultery.

Here's comes Pope Francis' contributions to diabolical disorientation:

"So, no, this is an evolution of my faith. One important thing to remember is there is a huge difference between the hierarchical or the institutional Church and the Body Church, the people. We represent the Body Church, we represent the people. Our mothers, our fathers, our brothers, our sisters, our neighbors, our fellow parishioners, who all support us, all support gay people. It's just the hierarchy is evolving on the issue. And they are...

Asked by LifeSiteNews whether "the Catechism is in error on natural law and marriage," Attey said, "I think it's evolving."”

And let me tell you, Attey really knows the Catechism and Catholic theology:

"I think it's evolving in the same way that, at one point, our Catechism said the same things about people who were left-handed. It evolved on that, to realize -- as science came out, and understanding, and people had left-handed people in their families -- the Church evolved on that, the same way it is evolving now on" marriage.

Remember when the Catechism said lefties were intrinsically disordered and using your left hand was contrary to natural law and sinful?

I'm thinking that was an urban legend he heard from the leadership of Catholics for equality?

Speaking of catechesis - the great news from Archbishop Cordileone keeps on coming!
