  Personal reflection: The young man posing like a male model lying down on the floor does not exhibit celibacy, chastity, proprietary, purity, meekness, modesty. Most seminarians were wearing T-shirts under their basketball jerseys; however, a few were just wearing their sleeveless basketball jerseys. They are not #1; only God is #1. God bless seminarians to exhibit virtuous attire and attitude at all times.

  TRUTH EVENTUALLY PREVAILS by Gene Chapman   The only pertinent question is, is it too late to save American greatness? Barak Obama permitted   550 drone strikes against America’s perceived enemies, once striking the wrong house killing an innocent family including a 6-year-old child, and it was not a big deal.  Donald Trump sinks a boat of fentanyl laced drugs, capable of killing thousands of Americans, with two surviving added druggies surviving, attempting to right the boat calling for drug dealing boats to rush to help finish their mission, and met their maker with a second and third rightful strike, saving thousands of American deaths. And Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump have just got to go!  I remember four years of Vietnam undeclared war, attempting to prevent Communist takeover, and fifty thousand deaths was too much to take for America, ending in a divided Vietnam. But today, a hundred thousand annual fentanyl deaths from cartel drugs, is OK...

The Mass will be offered for “those suffering from addiction, those in recovery, and those who love someone battling addiction”. Wouldn’t a more appropriate term be “evangelization efforts” instead of “marketing efforts”. The Church evangelizes people; the culture markets products.

 

  Q. Dear Father, I live in the UK.  Here we have Muslims taking over our country.  Is it wrong to eat halal food?  I refuse to eat it.  Is there something in the Bible about eating food sacrificed to demons? A. Dear Paul, Not only would I not eat at a Halal restaurant and I would object to any Catholic eating at a Halal restaurant.  Halal food restaurants do not allow for non-Halal foods and therefore the patrons don't have a choice.  This would be the same for kosher food restaurants.  Catholics should be allowed the freedom to consume food not governed by sharia law (Muslim) or the dietary laws of kashrut (Jewish). Many martyrs in the early Church were put to death because they would not eat meat sacrificed to the pagan gods.  Our opting out of dining at these sharia and kashrut establishments keeps us faithful to the witness that was given to us over hundreds of years of bloody persecution and intimidation. Blessed feast of St. ...

  Personal reflection:  The congregation wants reverential worship, but the clergy wants raucous and raunchy worldliness. If the clergy truly believed that the Person of Christ was Present they would demand kneeling. When kneeling before God is outlawed, kneeling before outlaws will be mandated.
