In the midst of the goings-on this week (who’s excommunicated and who’s not?), God keeps smiling on me.
My robins are nesting their third brood this summer.
This will make 12 new robins in a month and a half.
I know Our Lord did this to me so I could watch this miracle of His creation daily while I say my morning prayers (with cigarette and coffee on the patio) and I laugh because it’s awesome.
Today marks 250 years since John Witherspoon Francis Hopkinson, Richard Stockton, John Hart, and Abraham Clark signed a document declaring New Jersey’s independence from Great Britain.
Celebrate appropriately.
Whats that? Touchme doesn’t even believe his own words? For how can any man be excommunicated when all are saved? What does it all mean? That’s not rhetorical. What does it mean to be excommunicated by a man who believes that all are saved?
Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Others have already started compiling these lists; but I believe a master document listing all of the notorious heretics  who could have and should have been excommunicated should be drawn up and posted on a regular basis. 
A priest-friend once uttered a line that, at the time, I’m sure he didn’t know would be so prescient. The context is literally not important. He said simply:
“There’s nothing worse than an old fag.”
And if you think this is uncharitable or unseemly I promise I will start posting excerpts from Heal Me with Your Mouth.
The new “guidelines for reconciliation” or whatever it’s called were released and Tucho just keeps Tucho-ing.
Case in point, according to the current occupants of the Vatican hierarchy, Fiducia Suplicans and Amoris Laetitia are part of the ordinary Magesterium. So much is wrong with the things being spewed forth today.
As St. Louis Catholic said earlier. Only the Blessed Mother can sort this out for us.
The Timman over at St. Louis Catholic has posted his initial thoughts about the goings-on. Read them. I think they are truly good words.
My good friend Andrew Dunn has a great piece on his substack. An excerpt below. Please visit his page and show him some love.
“Does this look Catholic to you? Two hand-holding sodomites, in shorts with a F@#% the Rules message on display. I wonder if St. Peter would approve of such behavior in the Basilica of his namesake, on the site where he was martyred? Of course he wouldn’t, nor would Our Lord approve of the fact that these despicable sodomites were allowed to enter the Holy of Holies in this state of attire, with no intention of confessing their sins and amending their lives.”
A third clutch this summer:
These robins certainly know how to have a good time. Also, according to the AI’s, this is statistically impossible. Perhaps it’s the tiny sound system I installed playing Barry White on a loop.
Either way. I accept this as a gift from God as He is pleased to cause me to stop every day and marvel at His handiwork.
