For your Lenten edification, I share the following video posted by Sensus Fidelium.

I thought I’d seen it all.

Seriously, I would advise you not to watch if you are sensitive to this kind of thing. However, this man is more modestly dressed than many actual women these days even if he does look like the bastard love child of Celia Cruz and a yeti.

That being said, here’s the takeaway. He states that the NY media had informed the cathedral the night before the funeral.

Why are they even pretending anymore? The faithful Catholics you seem to want not to offend have all gone underground at this point, pulled the hatch shut, and are praying rosaries while waiting for the lightning to strike.

Thank you, Mister Sister, for setting the record straight I suppose. You’re right. There is a war and it’s been waging for decades (cf. Cardinal Spellman, et al.).

On my flight home after visiting my mom (and thank you for the prayers) I did something totally out of character for me. I slept on a plane. Having grown up riding subways in New York, I learned never to sleep while using a mode of public transit. But I was tired and so I closed my eyes and snoozed for a bit. If you are over six feet tall as am I then you know that airline seats are not designed for sleep. So maybe it was the exhaustion – I had been up very late watching a Korean drama and don’t judge me with my sister – or maybe it was the uncomfortable position I was in or maybe it was just that something happens to the brain at 30,000 feet but I opened my eyes and immediately thought the following.

If Telly Sevalas had become a priest, how would they have tonsured him?

Who loves you baby… And you’re welcome. That laugh was on me.

Now back to Lent.

Absolutely no one is buying the BS press release from the rector of St. Pat’s. Case in point, see the article below from PIX11 New York. Click HERE to read the article.

And here’s the money quote:

“Pro Tip: It is good pastoral practice to reach out to the family of the deceased directly to express condolences and to plan a funeral liturgy – and by all means Google the name of the person to learn as much as you can about their life. Beyond that all I can say to our neighboring parish is: Welcome to LGBTQ Ministry.”

Friends, Ann Barnhardt has referred to St. Patrick’s Cathedral as a “hellmouth”. She’s not wrong. Back on December 10, 1989 the cathedral was the site of a horrendous “demonstration” organized by ACTUP – the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power – in which the Sacred Host was snatched in the Communion line by militant sodomites, thrown to the ground, and trampled upon. What were they protesting? Apparently they didn’t like that John Cardinal O’Connor, then Archbishop of New York, wasn’t friendly enough to their cause. I still shudder thinking of what they did to my Lord but pro-tip: don’t distribute Our Lord into ANYONE’S hands.

How do I remember this? Because that same day my parents had taken me (12 years-old at the time) and my younger sister to see a Broadway musical. It was Meet Me in St. Louis, by the way. They actually had a full trolley car on stage. After the show we walked across Fifth Avenue on our way to dinner and saw the aftermath of the terror. I stepped over a placard in the middle of the street that read: “Eternal Life to Cardinal O’Connor NOW!” only “now” was the hideous logo of the the child killer group.

And since then? Well, as we see things have only gotten worse. This kind of thing doesn’t crop up overnight. Cardinal O’Connor has his eternal life now (for good or ill) as does his successor Cardinal Egan. Cardinal Dolan will have his one day too. May God have mercy on them all.

My nephew and his wife are welcoming their third child on Monday . Please offer a prayer for their family. Thanks!

The Mass of the Agees is forbidden in America’s most iconic Catholic Church but fishnet-clad men blaspheming the memory of an ancient virgin-martyr in the midst of a Mass directed by a priest who praises the depravity is A-OK.

And not just for Lent!

Thank you to Fr. Isaac Mary for recommending these in his podcast which, if you aren’t listening to, you really should be.
