  A fact is a fact by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.   No matter who says it, and there are many people who are now saying it. No matter for how long they have said it or for how long they continue to say it. They can scream it and shout it at the top of their lungs, until they’re baby blue colored or baby pink colored all over their face. They can throw all the toddler-like temper tantrums, hold their breaths until they faint, because they are angry; so that we’ll give in to their bullying threats and say what they want us to say. They can even give it their stamp of approval on all the decrees and declarations that they so desire throughout the world. But the fact is and the fact will always be; a baby’s a baby already before he or she is even born and the whole human race is divided into only two sexes, each one distinctively different: male and female. Both are totally and completely equal in dignity and respect but created distinct for the meaning and purpose of the unitiv

  Personal reflection:  So apparently according to the Archbishop, it is acceptable and appropriate for Father Jaime Paniagua to spew “Pepito” jokes during the holy homily    of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, but not for a comedian to tell a joke at a political rally. The Archbishop is a pawn doing the bidding of the Biden-Harris administration for profitable gain. He is condemning a dumpster fire when a volcano is erupting. Distracting from the greater offenses of abortion, so called assisted suicide,    so called sex change operations on children, or the clergy sex and financial abuse crisis, in order to focus on a joke. Where are the Archbishop’s priorities? He condemns a joke but remains silent on the abuses, offenses, and sins committed by the Biden-Harris administration which are far greater in magnitude than a joke at a political rally told by a comedian.

  According to the National Catholic Reporter , Bishop Senior addressed the  United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) assembly on November 13 to give an update on the   Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD).   NCR indicated that the CCHD awarded “93 grants totaling more than $2 million to dozens of community and economic development organizations,” which is a reduction of 57% of the average 215 grants normally provided.   The $2 million in grants is a massive drop of 88% from the $16 million average in annual grants for the previous ten years. Personal reflection:   Keep the pressure on! Defund by NOT donating to the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD).  

Personal reflection: The cereal was good, but I wouldn’t go so far as to use those extravagant superlatives to describe it. Beware of subliminal suggestive language that is evocative and enticing, it will ensnare and entrap you. When we mistakenly allow media to become our master, we will inevitably and incontrovertibly become their mangled and malleable minions.  

  Personal reflection: It must be cocktail hour! An  apple  martini (appletini for short) Strong men laugh: Ha Ha! Sissies laugh: He, He! What’s with the trophies and ribbons with medals? Why would a priest need a trophy and ribbons with medals “Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations— I cannot bear your worthless assemblies. Your New Moon feasts and your appointed festivals I hate with all my being. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them.” - Isaiah 1:13-14  God doesn’t want convocations, assemblies, festivals, jamaicas, or synods on synodality. He wants true worship, not worthless worldliness!

  Personal reflection:  Solidarity Day, united against bullying and united for acceptance, kindness and inclusion. Inclusion at Catholic schools of the crucifix instead of the cross.  As Catholics on October 7 we should be celebrating The Feast of Our Lady of Rosary. There are some things that should be unacceptable and excluded. Not everything should be accepted and included.
