Is it okay to hate?

No.  At least that's what modern, politically correct society tells us these days.

But to tell the truth -- a rare commodity these days! -- we must hate, and discriminate!

If one is a Christian, wouldn't hate and discrimination be a direct contradiction to the followers of Christ and what He taught?

Again, the answer is no.

So, what's the deal?

The plain and simple answer: we must hate sin, and we must discriminate against sin, and be for good.

We cannot -- and it would make no sense -- to say we are Christian, that we love what is good, and, at the same time, accept what is sinful, as if we have no choice in the matter.

We do have a choice, and that's what separates us -- Christians -- from those who love sin and evil.

The problem arises when we cannot discern what is sin and evil, from what is good.  This confusion is the result of many elements, namely, poor catechesis from a more progressive slant regarding what the Church teaches, over the last 60-70 years or so.  This has affected, not only Catholics, but non-Catholics as well.  Non-Catholics, who once looked to the Church as a beacon of hope and direction in a world gone morally crazy.

It is rather rare to hear pastors preach on sin and evil, along with the consequences of same: hell, versus heaven.

Unfortunately, many Christians assume that God's mercy is endless; it will always be there no matter how we live our lives.  That in the end, we will be saved because of that "endless" mercy.  We can easily forget that along with mercy, there is justice to be paid for our actions or inactions.    

That fact alone should keep us on the straight and narrow.

But does it?

Pray for discernment, and pray for our country.

Walking in the rounds...

Fifty-one years ago this coming December, I arrived in Vietnam.

The next month, January, began the 1968 Tet Offensive.

I remember being in an Oscar tower (observation tower) with a "short-timer."  (A short-timer had less than 30 days to go before he returned to "the world" --  the U.S. of A.)  From our position, we could see into the valley to the south and west of us.  The tower was equipped with a huge Starlight scope, allowing us to see the slightest light or flash, even from a cigarette lighter, many miles in the distance.

Just before the Tet Offensive began, the Vietnamese were ringing the new year (Tet); we could see in the distance tracer rounds being fired into the air; red and green flares filling the sky in a continuing celebration.

But then, something changed...

As we were observing the festivities, the direction of those tracer rounds went from vertical to horizontal -- into each other.  This grabbed our attention.  My short-timer brother called in the unusual events into our combat control center.  From this point on, things went downhill, and quickly.

Reports started to filter in that some of our air bases, fire bases and villages were under attack on a massive scale; we were next.

Of all the posts that we were assigned to on the perimeter, only certain ones allowed us to have the big M-60 machine gun, but I had been granted permission from our flight commander to carry the M-60 with me no matter what post I pulled.  I was grateful for that.  I didn't mind lugging around the extra ammo, usually about four cans.  We're talking another 30 + pounds, not including the 24-pound machine gun.  It was a chore just getting all my weapons and other gear up the latter, through the trap door, and into the tower cubicle.  The walls of the tower were about three feet thick, filled with sand to absorb any rounds or "small" rockets fired at us from the bad guys.

As the night progressed, things got a little dicey...

I had set up the M-60 with two, one-hundred round belts attached ready to send the VC (Viet Cong) to their Maker, if the need arose.

At this point, my short-timer brother turned to me and said: DeLalla, I sure am glad you brought that "60" up here tonight.  Me too, I replied.

I expect to go home in 27 days, he said...   I told him that I intended to follow in eleven months...

In short order, we could see the tracers from the bad guys overwhelming the Vietnamese soldiers on the battlefield.  Additional fire-power was called in, in the form of 105 Howitzer canon rounds from the ROK (South Korean) fire-base way out in the valley, to help turn the tide of this first big engagement.

If I remember correctly, I said some prayers, and zipped-up my flack jacket, locked and loaded my weapons, and waited to see if the enemy forces would make it all the way to our perimeter.

The ROKs were good at their job...  As we watched the activity continually unfold in front of us, the 105 rounds got closer and closer; walking in two and three with each volley.  At first, the explosions were way out to our southwest.  We could see the dirt, trees, and grasses being blown to smithereens.

The volleys continued their inexorable march to the air base; shock waves now hit the tower -- and us!

The idea here was to trap and annihilate the VC as they made haste toward the perimeter.  The blasts tore up the landscape, and the north-south highway in front of us, along with anyone caught in the mayhem.

The attacks on Christianity continue...

The unrelenting attacks on Christianity, and the Catholic Church in particular, continue at breakneck speed.

Very sadly, some of the most vicious attacks are coming from fallen-away Catholics who have lost the reason for their existence: to know, love and SERVE God in this life, and to be happy with Him in the next.  This is basic catechism 101.  There is little wiggle room here.  

Further, not only is the radical left attempting to shut down our First Amendment right to the free exercise of our religion, this tactic has expanded to include the almost complete exclusion of God out of the public sphere -- out of the schools, and relegated to "private" worship behind closed doors, so to speak.  Just try to pray on the field after a ballgame and see what happens.  The atheists go wild; lawsuits are sure to follow; these people have lost their minds.

These attacks cannot be tolerated.

If we do not recognize that our rights, as humans, come from God, not from government, we will be forever mired in trying to elect those people that are pro-First and Second Amendment to be our representatives; our saviors.  But that is the wrong way to look at this.

The Bill of Rights are there, not for the GRANTING of our rights, but to protect those rights FROM the multi-tentacled, behemoth, out-of-control central government.

I think it is safe to say that if we do nothing, and just sit back, we will lose our rights that come from God under the Natural Law, not from the vote of the majority.

One way to get the truth is to stop listening to the "6 o'clock news", and to seek out alternative sources for real news, if we don't, we will all become part of the brainwashed masses.

Pray for our country.

Is there another massive false flag just over the horizon?

With all that's going on in our country, and around the world, in fact, the last thing we need is another false flag just before the mid-term elections this November.

Some "conservative" talking heads are already being silenced or banned, and President Trump is running circles around our domestic enemies, with a red-hot economy.  He is also cracking down on the entrenched pedophile rings, many involving Hollywood "stars," as well as slowly draining the "swamp" in D.C.  Because of this, there is a good possibility that the demonic Democrats -- the real enemies of the people -- could be planning a massive false flag event, and point the blame directly on Trump's supporters.

If that happens, watch out!  There is no telling just what will happen; martial law?  All First Amendment rights being suspended?  All Second Amendment rights being suspended?  Violence in the streets?  Your guess is as good as mine.

Look what is happening to Infowars and Alex Jones.  You hate his guts?  Fine, but his free-speech rights have already been infringed upon, and it's getting worse.  If successful, the next to go will be Hannity, Limbaugh, Levin, Savage, et el.  What entities will be left to get the "news"?   You figure it out.  

I firmly believe that our domestic enemies have little or no regard for the lives of their fellow Americans.  Think that's a little over the top?  Think again.  Let me point to Pearl Harbor, the 9/11 "attacks."  How about Oklahoma City?   What about Waco, where children were burned to death by various police agencies, specifically the FBI?

My suggestion, sit back and fasten your seat belts: the ride is about to get a little rough.  But don't stop there, act, write, question, stand up for your rights, unless you wake up one morning and discover you must submit your thoughts to big-brother before you can express them -- even to your children!

We had better pray and pray hard!

Reasons for pessimism; reasons for hope.

Unless one has their eyes "wide shut," it is obvious, or should be, why there are reasons for pessimism in the world, and, specifically, in our country.  E.g., wars and rumors of war; scandals and rumors of scandals, especially among some deranged, rogue clergy that have taken place over the years, ruining the lives of the innocents.

Though the abuse is more widespread than first expected, I'm not surprised to hear or read this.  Why?  Because those "priests" involved in this diabolical destruction of the morals of the young, are overwhelmingly homosexual predators.  And this too, is nothing new, as that perverted "lifestyle" goes back to ancient times, including the early Church, as some of the saints of that time report in their writings.

These men (and some lesbian women "religious" are involved in this too) were successfully recruited and cajoled while in the seminary, and encouraged to complete their studies, all the while with the intent, over time, on bringing down the Church from within.

We will continue to hear of these scandals; the media is eating this up, as the enemies of the true Catholic Church are more than willing to heap additional coal on the already burning fire.

The damage to the innocents has been done, while some of the predators will escape prosecution, in the end, they will pay the price of their crimes, as we all must do.

Then there is the crime of abortion: the killing of the pre-born.  The destruction of the gift of life given to us by God, as co-creators with Him. Though "legal," it is still murder, another crime against the innocent.  And those that perpetrate such crimes will face justice, yes justice.  All we hear about today is mercy: God is merciful, but ignore His justice, and it will be paid; do not be deceived, we will be held accountable for our actions -- or inactions.

I can only guess at the wrath that awaits those who do not repent!

In the overall scheme of things, the abuse scandals and abortion are just more indications of why this is happening in the first place; and it's not pretty: the almost universal rejection of serving God, and, instead, serving ourselves.  This is truly a recipe for disaster.  

Church doctrine has been watered down for the sake of what?  Dialogue, ecumenism, unity?

This weakness is, I feel, the primary reason for the world racing toward Gomorrah at breakneck speed.  

Sounds pretty pessimistic, but there is hope -- always hope.  But there is a caveat: we cannot presume on God's mercy as is often done these days, but beg and pray for mercy -- and conversion!

Pray for discernment and pray for our country.

The real WALL...

There has been much discussion on the need for a wall to be built at our southern border to prevent the hordes of invading illegal aliens from overrunning our sovereign country.

I agree that it should -- and must be built, and as quickly as possible to keep out, not only those seeking "asylum," but also to stop the gangs, especially the murderous animals, MS-13 lunatics, from killing any more of our innocent citizens.

But the real Wall is already built!

Where, you ask?

It has been built around the real Catholic Church, built by the modernists invaders, pretending to be Catholics.  This massive siege of the real Church has been going on at least since the disastrous and unnecessary Second Vatican Council, which was in session from 1962 to 1965.  In reality, however, this siege has been around for a much longer period of time.  Even Pope St. Pius X pointed this out  in his 1907 encyclical exposing and condemning the modernism already choking off the Faith of our Fathers.

The good pope was successful in keeping the wolves at bay, but only temporarily.  They have returned with a vengeance, attacking a weakened flock, driving many away from Holy Mother Church, and into a spiritual wasteland.

Then where is the real Church, if it is not in Rome?

The real Church is within you and I -- Catholics that adhere to the perennial teachings of the Magisterium, that is.  In addition, the real Church of Christ will not fail; we have our Lord's very words on that promise.

He didn't say that the Church will have millions or billions of members, or extravagant buildings, artwork, and such.  No, it just might be a remnant of the faithful, here and there, in various parts of the earth.

All this, including the horrible scandals that we seem to read about almost on a daily basis regarding the abuse of minors at the hands of homosexual, pedophile predators of the young, not "frustrated," "celibate" priests (that is a myth perpetrated by the haters of the Catholic Church).

And still, I invite all non-Catholics and fallen-away Catholics to enter or reenter the Barque of St. Peter -- the real Catholic Church -- for the safety of their immortal souls, and for the honor and glory of God Almighty.

Pray for discernment and pray for our country.

Another expose of horrendous abuse by "Catholic" "priests"...

News reports from a grand jury in Pennsylvania are pointing to a massive cover-up of sexual abuse by "Catholic" "priests" that, according to the reports, goes as far back as 70 years.  The report also accuses the various diocese, and bishops of those dioceses, of shielding the bad guys over the years, some being transferred to other parishes instead of facing the music of the law, and allowing some measure of closure or compensation to the victims.

However, after listening to and reading the transcript of the grand jury and the (un?) biased reporting, it is very clear that not once did I hear the most accurate word to describe these abusers, these monsters: homosexuals.

Not once!

Sorry, but those are the facts.  And I can prove it...

Many years ago, the Communists recruited more than just a few homosexuals to enter the seminaries back in the 20's, 30's, and 40's, and perhaps even more recent, to become priests, work their up the ladder, so to speak, then bring down the Church from within.

One of those recruiters was a female Communist by the name of Bella Dodd.  She actually testified before Congress on her activities and duties.  She indicated that she alone brought in close to 1,200 "men" to enter the seminaries. Fortunately for her, she reconciled to the Church she was tasked with bringing down, and received the sacraments before she died.

She was only one of many recruiters...

But now, it is time to tell the real truth of the abuse of minors, because it is happening not only in the Church, but more importantly, in the public school system across this country.  That's right; the scandal of sexual abuse is more widespread in the school system than in the Catholic Church.  In addition, Protestant ministers and even some Rabbis are also part of this demonic attack on the youth under their charge.

The homosexuals that eventually did become "priests," fulfilled, and are still fulfilling their diabolical task, as is witnessed by numerous reports, even to the highest levels in the Church, yes, all the way to  the Vatican, where the buck stops.

There is another aspect to this tragedy, and that is, if those homosexual "priests" did not do what the Church intended as far as confecting a sacrament, and that includes the Holy Eucharist, or in Baptism, or Confession, or marriage, etc., then those actions of the priests were null and void.  Hence, all those years and all those folks did not receive validly any of the sacraments from the hands of these monsters.

I can only leave it up the Lord to judge whether these people were culpable or not, and whether or not they were in a state of grace when they died, if given the sacraments from these sodomites.

All those years, all those who suffered under corrupt Church officials involved in the homosexual mafia...

Will there be any justice in this life for the abusers or the victims?   Will those responsible be ripped out by the roots, and God's house exorcised and made clean?

Only time and prayer will tell.
