Anti-ICE woke protestors storm church - interesting since they claim that ICE agents are the ones who threaten church services. Even Catholic bishops have dispensed immigrants from Mass obligations due to this bogus reason. HYPOCRISY!!!
At least there are rules. Like chastity and the deposit of faith. Otherwise dating is a precarious enterprise. With no rules. One can inflict serious damage on the soul.
The 'speed dating' aspect may not be the best 'soil' for a committed relationship, since there is something superficial and disposable about this format, but the desire for young Catholics to find other young Catholics willing to commit to a relationship guided by their Faith is a positive one. I do bless them in their quest but pray that novelty does not displace a more nurturing means of fostering enduring friendships and love.
On this feast of the Holy Name: here's an article on the monogram IHS. I've heard many Catholics are confused to it's meaning. Some think it is an abbreviation for the Latin "Iesus Hominum Salvator" (Jesus, Savior of Mankind) or "In hoc signo", a phrase meaning (In this sign). But it's actually Greek...
Blast from the past - in light of Leo's "remarks" to the curia at CHRISTMAS! It's like the old Seinfeld episode on "Festivus" - the airing of grievances!!
Francis' Christmas Greetings: Anger, Threats, Polemics On December 21, Pope Francis addressed his Curia in the Clementine Hall for the Christmas Greetings. Regarding the much advertised "reform of the Curia" which he has failed to deliver so far, Francis attempted a self-justification: “Making reforms in Rome is like cleaning the Sphinx with a toothbrush”. Then, he warned the Curia of an "unbalanced and debased mindset of plots and small cliques that in fact represent" a "cancer", despite the fact that Francis has increasingly presented himself as the pope of a small magic circle treating the rest as people under suspicion. These people Francis insulted as "those who betray the trust put in them". He accused them of failing to understand their responsibility for "the reform" and even of being "corrupted by ambition or vainglory". Francis continued with thinly veiled allusions, "When they are quietly sidelined [Cardinal Sarah], they wrongly declare themselves martyrs of the system […More
Louis IX There are two kinds of Catholics. Those who are modernist and ignorant. And then the Catholics who think they know it all and quote only some parts of the Bible. But never ever mention.... Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in: For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it "not" to one of these least, neither did you do it to me. Why does Trump arrest mostly those who work the farms? Work in factories? DC says, they arrest thousands everyday. But only the workers. They say, they caught a bunch …More
Indeed, anyone who supports lawlessness by Catholics can be considered to be in a deplorable state. The next time I visit Spain I suppose I should refuse to leave, join a gang, get on benefits and complain when I should rightly be thrown out on my keister.
Catholics respect the authority of the Seat of Peter. Fortunately, most Catholics don't know about the bad policies of the current occupant of the seat. These Catholics can live their lives as Catholics and not as Synodal heretics.
This week we marked the 60th anniversary of the closing of Vatican II, and the usual suspects tried to tell us that it still has wonderful fruits. Yet the reality on the ground tells us something quite different. Isn’t it time to move on?
About time - it's corpse has been putrifying since its release. It was ill-begotten and deserves to be interred with the rest of the ill-considered works which have sidelined the Faith from time to time.
The subtitle: "He is following in the footsteps of his predecessor by adopting a cautious approach, ensuring that Mary is honored without overshadowing the primacy of Christ." Spin control?
This is the money sentence here: "“The Catholic Church faces an urgent and immediate need for equipping ministerial leaders, especially in minority communities underrepresented by ordained clergy." That's the statement. The whole thing is the usual double talk, but the main idea is we have to get "trained" lay people into minority communities to completely undermine what ever might possibly remain of what was once the Catholic Church.
I just received an email yesterday from the local hospital asking (begging?) me to "get caught up" on my vaccines - flu, pneumonia, COVID. NO WAY. But I got to thinking: what if some confused Catholic asked one of these 'pharma-funded' priests about their struggles with this subject - or any other hot-button issue [ex. contraception, etc.]. Will they receive a Catholic response grounded in solid moral theology & medical ethics? Or will the 'grateful minister' share how these drug companies work for the 'common good'? And why wouldn't he think that? They provided a generous GRANT to his seminary! Can't serve God and mammon!!!
"Thank you Tucho for your "permission" to pray my Rosary & wear the Miraculous Medal" {sarcasm} N.B. I say so because rejecting Our Lady's unique mediation & role in salvation makes the above-mentioned devotions useless. So clearly it cannot be forbidden!
Prevost and Caritas promote transsexuality under the pretext of helping the "poor," when in reality they are unrepentant trans homosexual activists and prostitutes who fight against God's law and Catholic morality. “Alessia Nobile” is a 46 year old male transvestite, homosexual porno escort.It should also be noted that the anti-Catholic Bergoglio, of infamous memory, invented this secular holiday, the Marxist "World Day of the Poor," to promote his progressive, Marxist, and anti-Catholic agenda. In doing so, he displaced Jesus Christ in favor of idolatrous worship of man, since Sunday is the Lord's Day. When the Marxist apostate Robert Prevost calls a trans activist, transvestite, and unrepentant male prostitute “poor,” and “marginalized” he is blasphemously and maliciously saying that God and the Church have been the oppressors. Supposedly, the Caritas organization was meant to help the poor, but it is now a Marxist organization that steals money from the Church and the worship due to …More
I smell PR spin... As we've seen in other posts of this site, the more significant influence on Leo was his immersion in the liberation theology soaked Latin American experience. That's the key to understand his choice by Francis as his successor!
Does the God-Man need collaborators to complete His Passion? Can we really console Him in His sorrows, even though living centuries after His Ascension into Heaven?
it’s Cupich, Tobin, and Jimmy Martin
Can't serve God and mammon!!!
