And from the “happiest news I’ve heard in a while” files…

“An ex-TV producer… who refused the death jab”?
Nope, it’s not me but I’m sure Mr. Decco will do just fine. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some listening to do.
All these years later… For some reason I had a video running through my mind and I simply had to look it up. Unfortunately, after much tracking I discovered that the original long-form video I had seen in 2011 no longer exists. Instead, a shorter version is available.
The video is of a Mass in Olympic Stadium, Berlin celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI. The part in question is whatever passes for the offertory at Novus Ordo Masses. Thereason it has stayed with me all these years? It’s funny as hell. Oh I wish the whole thing were online just for that groovy, chillaxy muzak. Don’t get me wrong, I’m actually a fan of authentic Muzak but this stuff is pure schlock (to borrow a German sounding word). Don’t believe me? Go to the about 1:46 in the video below and have a listen. Then, imagine that “song” playing for another 2 full minutes.
UPDATE: I had always remembered this as the offertory of the Mass but I found at least one source claiming this to have been the “musical interlude” of the “opening part” of Mass.
Check this out from Breitbart…
First, the simple creature doesn’t seem to grasp basic logic. Poor Andy. He’s a repulsive fool, by the way, so don’t feel too bad for him. But still, Kentucky is a beautiful state and I surely do feel bad for the residents of the Blue Grass State that they have to suffer with this dipshit.
Let’s examine his desires, shall we? He wishes for a member of Senator Vance’s family to get raped so he’d have to “experience the ramifications”? To my knowledge, JD Vance has three young children. Obviously, the party of death is all into kiddie-freak so I guess that’s not out of the ordinary for them. But still… Who wishes rape upon anyone? A minion of Satan, that’s who.
I spent years teaching in the Catholic school system in this country. Three states. Large schools. Small schools. Every grade level from 9-12. I taught every imaginable subject in the field of theology. The abortion issue was actually a very small area in terms of questions fielded. When I walked through the doors of my first teaching post I really believed it might be all abortion all the time. To my surprise questions about whether dogs can fly when they get to heaven were higher on the list. Yes, folks, people are just that dumb. But it was endearing; especially at the all girls’ high school. They really believed Fido was going to be doing backflips arfing up a storm when they themselves crossed the threshhold of the pearly gates. Because, of course they would. Duh.
But abortion? Nope. By the early 2000’s it had become very easy to have that conversation. Even a high school freshman knew which end was up. There really wasn’t much confrontation. There was no pushback. It helped that my wife and I had newborns and infants at the time and I, proud daddy, couldn’t shut up about my kids, hanging their pictures all over the classroom so I wouldn’t have to wait to see them until I got home. I really am quite taken by my own studliness. Did I say that aloud? No, the kids (my students) understood. And for the odd man out who might have still been confused? Well, here’s a little lesson I used. Pay careful attention and you might get a gold star.
…Is a baby conceived in love to a man and a woman in a sacramental marriage. (Actually it’s a stock photo but you get the point.)
…Is a baby conceived as a result of rape.
Notice the horrendous differences between the two?
Exactly.
Class dismissed. Don’t forget to tip your teacher.
As always, the Marian Friars Minor offer some solid advice. Take a listen. It’s only 9 minutes.
I suppose it’s somehow better than the back alley they always deride?
Step right up into our creepy van to have your parts snipped and your baby slaughtered. Totally safe. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
What in the hell is wrong with these people?!
Do you have your plan?
I can’t stop laughing at their stupidity (the “they” them, not Clayton Morris). Watch…
Mpox?! Can’t offend the monkeys I suppose.
Look, I’m not going to catch this and neither are you. I’m not going along with a single thing they try to do to us. I will be getting outside and I will have Mass. I guarantee that.
Now for some good M:
I am just now seeing reports that Sr. Agnes Sasagawa, the Japanese nun who received the messages of Our Lady at Akita, died yesterday on the feast of the Assumption.
May she rest in peace and may God spare us all!
