I wrote on these pages not long ago that obedience would be used as a cudgel to bludgeon faithful Catholics (and more importantly, faithful priests) by those claiming to world the authority.
Watching the video above puts so much into perspective. Think about that one fact. 67% of people would continue to shock their fellow humans with high voltage electricity without question because someone told them to. Disgusting. More than that would continue to follow orders from a patently false shepherd because… obedience!
Apart from the obvious Word of God – “We ought to obey God rather than men” – there’s the blatant shuttering of anything resembling common sense and intelligence at play. This is all too surreal.
Listen carefully at the end to what he describes as “white cost syndrome”.
Are you one who does whatever your doc tells you?
I learned long ago that they work for me. Little story for you. At some point in my early 20’s I went into the doctor. I was a lot more trusting then. I went for some routine thing like a cold. Imagine me doing that today. Ha! I take my ivermectin and keep going. But that day I went to the doctor. There was a doctor I had never seen before. He was on call as my regular doc was out. I later learned my regular guy was on trial for running an OxyContin ring. Again, why did we trust? This guy’s first question was, “Do you smoke?” Knowing that he could’ve just looked in the chart and tired of having to answer this question every two seconds, I replied, “Tell you what… I’ll let you examine me and you can make a determination about my tobacco usage. If you’re right, I’ll give you my copay.” The point is that this wasn’t a life or death visit and it wasn’t a life or death issue. Some of these guy act as though they spent seven years determining whether one substance can be linked to every malady and it shows.
Im jot trashing all doctors but only trying to show the timidity and deference most patients exhibit. He’s working for you. Make him earn his pay.
67% would literally kill a man because they were told to. How many more will kill off the faith because they were just following orders?
When Ann says share aggressively, you share aggressively.
I watched this clip yesterday following a link from Canon212 but the video ended after Liz Yore spoke. Here’s the whole thing including a man who does some truly phenomenal work, John Henry Westin. I’ve had two opportunities to meet John Henry (three of you count a passing “hello” during the 2020 March for Life in DC). The first was at my parish here in Texas when he simply happened to be at a weekday Mass. the second was when I traveled to Indianapolis this past July to attend one of his conferences. He has always struck me as a truly decent man. It’s gratifying to see his come-around on this crucial issue.
Kudos to NonVeni Mark for his tireless work. Below he posts about the invalid conclave that took place upon the failed “resignation” of Pope Benedict XVI and the involvement of the US CIA in such affairs.
To this I would like to add the involvement of a certain Theodore Edgar McCarrick. Remember, Teddy was known (didn’t even attempt to hide it) to have worked for the US State Department.
Anyone remember the “influential Italian gentleman” story?
I can tell you that when I was in seminary in the late 1990’s McCarrick bragged about his influence and the special missions he had undertaken for the Clinton White House, supposedly helping to arrange John Paul’s trip to Cuba. In the above clip he brags about his friendship with Bergoglio. He mentioned having security clearances and the like. It was no surprise when he was then transferred to DC the following year. He was created a cardinal on the same day in 2001 as Avery Dulles, the nephew of CIA founding director Allen Dulles and the son of former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles (for whom DC’a international airport is named). McCarrick’s life – especially his early life – is shrouded in mystery as one would expect from a deep state operative.
And of course we all know about McCarrick’s rehabilitation by Bergoglio who then sent the former to China to work out the horrible deal selling out faithful Catholics in that land.
It is not hard to connect these dots. And like the late George Neumayr, I don’t believe McCarrick has actually been defrocked but that’s a story for another day.

Reading the the Holy See Press Office states his “condition has worsened“.
Folks, I got off all that social media nonsense a while ago. Sorry but I'm not on Twitbook, Facepalm, YouHu, WingWang or any of the others. Maybe an event will happen to make me change my mind like Peter and Paul coming down with flaming swords and commanding it be so. Until then, read the blog and if you feel a comment is in order or you feel like sharing a tip or suggestion for a topic, email me at harvey@harveymillican.com.
