I was just dozing off in my chair with the latest Tucker Carlson interview playing on the TV when Guardian Angel woke me just in time to hear the following.
Apologies for the poor audio quality.
Did you catch that?
Protestants are the people who “think for themselves” and Martin Luther “took on the 1500 year-old Church by himself”.
The most risible moment is Charlie Kirk proudly asserting that he’s “Calvinist too”.
Luther was a revolutionary who set in motion the destruction of the West by trying to rend Her underpinning foundation – the Catholic Church. Thought for himself? No. He took the volumes of thought of other more brilliant men – like Aquinas and Albert the Great and his own “spiritual father” Augustine – and rejected it as only a man who thinks he knows better can do.
The whole world was just waiting for Martin Luther to come along and tell us how Christ really wanted things run – and by the way, completely at odds with Scripture and Revealed Tradition. Right, that Luther.
And this notion of people being virtuous because they place their conscience as a god? Dipshit, I didn’t need a Protestant to tell me that an immoral law has no weight to it anyway. My Catholic ancestors went to their deaths gleefully violating such laws. Ever hear of the Martyrs of Compiegne, Thomas More, Jose Sanchez del Rio, or about a million Roman martyrs?
Tucker, I love you man; but seriously, check yourself on this one.
Also I guess we know Charlie won’t be getting anything for Christmas this year because in Calvinist-land, everyone is on the naughty list.
I don’t know, guys… A lot of nonsense was revealed in this past week.
Westen still seems like a standup guy in my opinion. Even looks better these days. That being said, John-Henry, take note. I learned from fifteen years of working in and running Catholic schools. The “hierarchy of the laity” at the helm of Catholic institutions (specifically non-profit structures) are fundamentally assholes. Chris Jackson, I am not. Sorry, friends, but there’s no other word for it. I remember as a young-er teacher one day telling my wife about some such nonsense in the admin at the school where I was working and finishing the thought with, “The mafia ain’t got nothin’ on this lot.” And I grew up in Jersey!
Bishop Strickland? How sad. That leaked audio did not do you any favors. The man I heard on that tape resembled someone far more concerned with his own image then with defending a fellow man who was in the process of being actively railroaded.
Deacon Keith Fournier? He just comes across as a creep. But I’ll put it in terms he can understand. “Ghstindjahkoibbbee! Slay, Spirit, Slay!”
These are all just one man’s opinions, by the way.
The lady who ran the leaked audio of the board meeting on her YouTube channel? I don’t think she expected to get ratioed in the comments.
Fr Altman? I know you’re wondering how he figures into all of this. Late last week he gave an interview on YouTube commenting on the matter. Guess what? He’s still sounding like a strangely rational man. More importantly, he sounds like a man. It could just be that he’s already been tested in this crucible.
Am I ready to re-subscribe to the LifeSite YouTube channel and email distribution list? Not at the moment.
I have a typical “garage gym”. It is not the one pictured below but not dissimilar. Thank you, ChatGPT.
I typically lift during the middle of the day when no one is home in the neighborhood so no one complains when I play my tunes on a speaker with the door up. I also jump rope in the driveway.
This week, I switched gears a little. I lifted much later in the day. Plenty of folks out in their yards, working on cars, bringing in groceries, practicing for a Quincinera. You know, basic Texas stuff.
Instead of the usual selection of Hi NRG disco synth pop (don’t judge), I blasted…
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.
