Rump roast and burnt toast

Why do they think they have to follow in the footsteps of secular society?  Why do they feel they have to be comedians?  Once upon a time the Catholic Church was the pinnacle of artistic creativity.  See how low they have sunk. Priests dressed in their clerical attire and nuns dressed in their habits; twisting and turning, swinging and swaying (let’s hope not  twerking ) is still so creepy and cringy. Even though they may think it’s so cool.  It’s not.

Pray for good editors

  Personal reflection: Who wrote this, and why was it allowed to be published with grammatical errors? Saint Dominic,   pray for us.

Transparency and truth in religious life, in our Church, and society by Father Miguel Marquez Calle

  Article link: https://open.substack.com/pub/carmelitequotes/p/the-day-you-do-not-dance-to-their?utm_source=direct&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email Excellent quotes from article: Today there exist certain sicknesses: manipulators full of charm, people who seduce, who have a gentle or attractive side but who do not accept opposition or dissent. They like you, but  the day you do not dance to their tune, they make your life unbearable. There exists an emotional blackmail and abusers become victims when they are contradicted or have a different opinion. We must open our eyes and create communities where there is  transparency and truth , with mature men and women, who recognize their limitations and allow others to help them.  We must clean up our act and  'disabuse'  ourselves. discernment  and  honest dialogue search always and in all things for the will of God

MIRACLES HAPPEN by Gene Chapman

  MIRACLES HAPPEN by Gene Chapman   President Nixon was a basically honest, amateur criminal at best, transformed into the face of political criminality for the ages, by big black daily media headlines, calling him Tricky Dick Nixon, with unshaved, dark criminal looking photos. Hillary was a young college student, worming her way onto the anti-Nixon team, who was forcibly removed for advocating crimes without evidence, and had to go, in a very different time. And we haven’t had a Republican press adored president since. Michigan football star Gerald Ford was dumb, stumbling, deplaning Air Force one, George H.W. Bush lied about raising taxes, George W Bush couldn’t even spell CAT, and Reagan was so stupid, rebuilding the economy for the masses, hoping they would love him, but the media won, before losing as memories faded, remembering two chickens in every pot.     But Trump was by far the worst of all, an amateur womanizer following professional Bill Clinton, c...

Equally strong in spiritual warfare as physical warfare

Personal reflection:  Not weak, wicked, weird, or woke! That’s my type and God's type of archbishop, bishop, cardinal, priest, and pope.

Abby Johnson calls out cowards - Stop compromising!

Image
  Video link: https://www.lifesitenews.com/episodes/abby-johnson-calls-out-cowards-stop-compromising/ Whenever you have 30 minutes, this video is well worth it. At the Bringing America Back to Life conference, Abby Johnson delivers a fiery rebuke of the pro-life movement’s failures, calling out weak leadership, moral cowardice, and compromises that have allowed abortion to persist.  She exposes the truth about at-home chemical abortions, blasts the Church for refusing to confront sin, and demands that abortion be treated as murder — without exception.  The fight for life is a spiritual war, and it’s time to stop playing nice.  Will the pro-life movement rise to the challenge, or will it continue to fail the unborn?

Remembering the Low-down Lockdown by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.

  Remembering the Low-down Lockdown by Marian Casillas, Ed.D. The school bells ring and teachers and students finally return after what was supposed to have been a weeklong Spring Break, which turned into a six-month hiatus. It had everyone hiding at home out of fear of the cold-blooded, cringy covid that turned communities into national hotspots. It will certainly be one for the history books, if there are any history books left to read, or will they all be burned by rioting radicals? The first assignment will be “What I did during the covid lockdown” instead of the usual “What I did during my Summer Vacation”. This will probably be the summation of most of the student’s essays: “What I did during the COVID lockdown was nothing but stay home and basically be bored.” In previous years students looked forward to regaling their teachers with all of their Summer adventures. Because every Summer was an adventure filled with activities and events that made Summer enjoyable and fun. Howe...
