A Few Things…

The Jesuit Gets It Wrong Again. Are we Shocked?

June has busted out all over! However, whereas in the past we only had to contend with a few gay things, this year the demonic is out in full force. Here’s the timeline in case you weren’t playing along.

1950’s: Ethel Merman. They tell me she wasn’t actually a drag queen but the jury is still out.

1960’s: Stonewall. “Police brutality, man!” No, you’re disgusting and you’re being disgusting in public. Stop it.

1970’s: ‘Nuff said.

1980’s: The Golden Girls introduced us to four old hag-whores and spent seven seasons trying to normalize all manner of deviousness.

1990’s: Disney owned subsidiary Miramax releases the movie Priest, a blasphemous film if ever there was one. Concerned Catholics decided to protest the Mouse and are shot down by naysayers who nay-said, “You can’t avoid everything now can you?”

And on and on it went…

And so in 2023 we get the following. “Father James Martin says the Alphabet Agenda is compatible with the Sacred Heart.

No. No, it isn’t.

So we’ve gone from the gay 50’s to this. A supposedly Catholic priest – one with the blessing of the Vatican no less – spouting such outright blasphemy as this.

Surely the end must be near. I’m remembering something about there coming a time when men with itching ears will heap to themselves all manner of false teaching…

Let me spell it out for Fr. on the off chance that he didn’t really know what he was saying.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus bleeds with love for the repentant sinner. The sodomite bleeds with love for himself. The only connection between the two is that the sodomite commits sins that cry unto the Sacred Heart of Our Lord for vengeance.

I hope that helped.

When Wine Isn’t Wine

And then we have this:

“Kansas Archbishop Clarifies Wine Validity Norms After Learning that Parishes we’re Using Invalid Wine for Years”

I called this last year, folks. So here we have a situation where literally thousands of Masses were completely invalid because…?

I’ll tell you why. Obviously it results from invalid matter. For every sacrament to be valid there must be proper form (the words), proper matter (the physical thing), and proper intention. The Church can supply jurisdiction when necessary but not proper form or matter and certainly not a missing intention. Here’s the thing though. Why did these priests think they could use an invalid wine?

Because they were malformed.

That simple. In their seminary days they were taught that they could fiddle with the Mass, with confession, with baptism. I know. I was there. In the past few years, we’ve heard of priests who had never actually been baptized. We’ve all been to confession with a priest who didn’t quite say the right words of absolution. And now we can question every blessed Mass we attend.

Well, others can question. I attend a TLM for a reason. You can’t mess around with that.

It might not be a bad idea, though, if you’re going to attend a Novus Ordo, to grab the priest ahead of time and ask a few questions.

“Father, are you using real bread, real wine, and what is your intention?” If he says he’s not sure on the first two then walk away. On the last count, if he says, “I’m going to preside over a community meal,” RUN away.

Malachi Martin alluded to this in Windswept House when he has Cessi Gladstone address the Slavic Pope over the issue of the “countless invalid Masses” taking place all over the world.

So hang on to your hats. Steel yourselves. Hunker down.

Or just come over to the dark side and join me for an ancient Mass.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Returning to the World of Sodo-Pride

I spent the past week in the company of friends at our yearly beach gathering. Although the weather was a bit rough, I always love this week. One of our friends is a priest who offered a TLM every day for us. Of our other friends, we comprise a group of families with a combined total of more than 30 children and, happily now, several grand-babies. It was a time to catch up, relax, and celebrate our own brand of pride. That is, we celebrated the true joy of family. Straight, normal, family. And we the parents recognize that we cannot be proud because we know that our families are truly gifts from God. As a dad, I take just the slightest bit of pride in my role in all this but I know it’s not really pride if that makes sense. Most amazing of all is that we spent our time in a place where the only flags we saw for the week sport not rainbows but beach-y things like seashells and banal sayings about spending time on the sand. I mean, they’re gay flags all right but not gay flags if that makes sense.

So today when we checked out of our house, the caravan made its way up the coast and toward a TLM parish where we probably inundated the usual crowd at the 1:30 low Mass. we met an old friend who had celebrated our nuptial Mass. He’s assigned to this parish now. None of us, not even the priest, were trads then. Yet here we are. And that was another beautiful gift from God.

We also saw the emblems of the sodogarchy come back into view as the ocean disappeared in the rear view and the rainbow flags came into sight. It was kind of a letdown, leaving our secured location and coming back into the world of the pervs. Ah well, we had to face it sooner or later.

All in all, though, God is far too wonderful to me than I deserve and for the gift of the past week I am most grateful.

Sorry for the “light” posting over the past few days. I’m back (sort of… I still have another 6 weeks on the road). But the next six weeks will see us meet up with more likeminded folks in places like the northeast, the Midwest, and hopefully an opportunity to visit the mortal remains of Sr. Wilhelmina.

So please continue to keep us in your prayers for continued safe travels and I’ll continue to update you on the journey.

St. Christopher, pray for us!

A Blessing

Friends, this evening, while on vacation at a beach on the Eastern Seaboard, a friend invited me to visit a friend of his a few miles further along the beach. We got in the car and drove. We drove until the pavement ended. We drove onto the sand in a 4 wheel drive only area. Fortunately our vehicle has 4 wheel drive. We arrived at a beautiful house. We weren’t sure if it was the right house. I walked up the steps and peered through the glass.

“There’s a high altar up against the wall! This is clearly the place!” I said.

And it was.

And not only did I get to fraternize with like minded Catholics, I met him. He is one of the cancelled priests of the past few years. I have seen his videos and read his words. Tonight I shook his hand (kissed his hand because he’s a priest). And then I talked with him for two hours and I realized that he is the real deal.

I will leave out the details of our conversation but I will tell you that at the end of the night, I took my leave and asked him for his blessing.

I kneeled before him as he blessed me through the intercession of St, Rita.

Pray for our priests. Pray especially for him. Pray for the cancelled priests.

My evening was great.

God be praised!

St. Joseph, pray for us!

Downtime

I am at the point in my long summer road-trip where I am actually on vacation. As in, I am not currently engaged in any work related activities. I am at the beach for the next week. I have a priest staying with our family. He is an old family friend and he is saying a TLM for us every day, facing the east – the literal east, looking out over the Atlantic Ocean.

Life if good.

In the meantime, the posts will be light for a few days. Since it is the Octave of Pentecost, enjoy some music.

And please keep me and my family in your prayers. The drive starts up again next week.

Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth, pray for us!

Come Holy Ghost! Come with Thy Seven-fold Gifts! Come to the Aid of Thy Church!

Pentecost Sunday 2023

Happy birthday to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church! And while we’re on it, not because I hate anyone but out of love for my fellow man, I pose a question. If you have not found your way into the One True Church founded by Our Lord Jesus Christ, why not? What are you waiting for? Sure, the place is a trainwreck right now but it’s still the only guarantee of salvation. Remember Peter’s words to Christ: “Lord to whom should we go? You have the words of everlasting life.”

The first Pentecost saw the Blessed Mother surrounded by the Apostles sitting together praying. They had prayed for nine days. They anticipated the Spirit but probably had no idea what to expect (save for the Blessed Mother, who had been pondering in her Immaculate Heart all these things for years). The Spirit came upon them and they were emboldened. What flowed from that awe-inspiring event – the tongues of flame and the rushing wind – was a mass baptism. Thousands were converted that day.

Flash forward nineteen hundred years. The Apostles’ successors promised a “new springtime”, a “second Pentecost”. What followed that frightful event was the greatest apostasy in the history of the Church. Priests left the priesthood in droves. Convents and monasteries emptied almost overnight. The faithful were treated to spiritual whiplash as just about every tenet held by Catholics from the very beginning was undermined. Those who remained went uncatechized, malformed, and malnourished.

Some springtime!

Today, many of us spend hours praying our novenas, trusting in Our Lord’s promise that He will never abandon us. It is hard not to identify with the people in that upper room in the moments before the Spirit came upon them.

On Pentecost I often recall the holy martyrs of the Church. Filled with the Spirit, these men, women, and even children willingly spilled their blood out of love for Him Who died for them. Many of these martyrs were subsequently removed from the Roman calendar after the Council, by the way. I wonder why. I think in particular of the Martyrs of Compiegne, France. During the Reign of Terror, these Carmelite sisters were rounded up, stripped of the dignity of their garb, led to the scaffold, and beheaded. One by one, they ascended the steps to their beheading. To the last woman, they had the mystical lyric poem on their lips. Veni Creator Spiritus! The scene was recreated in the film Dialogues des Carmelites.

Come Holy Ghost! Renew in the hearts of Thy people Thy seven-fold gifts. Make us to see that to live for Christ is to die to ourselves and that to die for ourselves is to live in Him forever. Thy Church is in disarray, in terrible eclipse. Make us to love Thy commandments and to burn with zeal for Thy house.

Come Holy Ghost, dwell in us and guide us!
