Thanks Be to God! There are Decent People in the World.

Just got back home after a week away with the family. This one was a company work trip where we were all involved. Safe travels so, Dei Gratias!

And…

Old Harvey did something uncharacteristically dumb. Rught after leaving the secured area at one of the busiest airports in the world, my wife realized that we did not have her backpack. Seems when I grabbed the backpack from the overhead, it was just my son’s and not my wife’s as well.

There is a woman who works for American’s baggage service named Yvette. She was minding her business, tagging bags that had not been claimed when yours truly ran up to her counter in a semi-panicked state to explain my situation. Although she was busy, she went back through the secured area, even searched the plane. Made some calls. Got the police involved. This woman went all out and she did it with a smile.

So Deo Gratias again for Yvette!

What a way to end a trip.

Build Bridges not Walls?

Anyone care to explain?

Well Said

The Timman has a great post as usual.

Venite ad Me?

You know, because we don’t want people to feel bad about themselves or anything…

I’ll take advice on morality from a pornographer never.

I Love the Nightlife?

Man, the nationals capital city is dead at night these days…

Case in point: 17th St. NW and DeSales (three blocks north of the White House) on a weeknight in October.

Haven’t seen a soul in hours. But the weather beats the blazing sun in Texas this time of year.

This Is War.

Andrew Dunn lays it out brilliantly.

I will say, I have my problems with “Catholic influencers”, “celebrity priests”, and specifically “celebrity exorcists”. But let’s not kid ourselves. This is the systematic elimination of ANYONE who is effectively teaching the Catholic faith as handed down from Our Lord to the Apostles and on to us. The synodal “church” is not Catholic. We are not the same faith. They are silencing Fr. Ripperger because he is teaching the faith and it’s not the same faith as theirs. To think otherwise is beyond naïveté.

We’ve moved from the realm of “let’s cautiously wait and see/there might be a good reason for this” scenario to the “they’re through dealing with actual Catholics” moment.

Go ahead, synodal church. Silence James Martin. I’ll wait.

They worship demons and tell you and me that we’re rigid. They “excommunicate” the SSPX and tell you and me that all are welcome. How many reading this post have learned a great deal about the Catholic faith from Father Ripperger that our “Catholic” schools hid from us?

I’m sick of it.

In Texas, we have a flag – the Gonzalez flag – featuring an image of a canon with the words “Come and take it.” It’s a simple command for those who dare to join the fight.

Come and take it – my priests, my faith, if you dare. But when you attack, know this. I will fight back. And here’s the fun part, homos. The Woman who crushes the evil serpent you worship is on my side. But obviously, it’s the other way around. I’m on her side, under her mantle, tepidly trying to approach the cross of the Son she bore and with whom she suffered for our salvation.

Shame on all of these wicked men for their pusillanimous actions and for being so ass-backward stupid they’d think we wouldn’t notice.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for your holy priest, Fr. Chad Ripperger!

This Flying Business…

It’s for the birds.

But at least I get to share pictures like this.
