What Happens When A Good Catholic Friend Dies??

 First, we mourn.  Next, we pray for our deceased friend's soul, that Our good Lord will have mercy on her and welcome her into His kingdom.

Is that all that we do when a faithful wife, mother, charitable Catholic goes to her judgment?

No.

For one thing, we miss her; we will always remember her; we continue to pray for her.

We are glad, in a sense, that she is no longer suffering in this life, hoping that she has completely paid for any remaining debt of the temporal punishment to sins forgiven.   This is especially true because she received the great sacrament of Extreme Unction (the last rites of the church).

Am I presuming that she is, or will be in Heaven?  No, not at all, but we can recognize that the special graces given to the dying Catholic are real and indicate a sign of salvation.   If that is the case, then the church teaches that she does not have to spend any time at all, in Purgatory.   None!

The great promises of the Blessed Virgin Mary -- the Mother of Christ, Our Lord -- to those who were dedicated to Her in this life, can be believed, especially when one wears the Brown Scapular at their death...

Then what?

We can start to pray to her as an intercessor for us!

She was as a martyr; persevering in the Faith to the very end, attaining that treasured prize -- the crown of eternal life -- for the one who finishes the race (St. Paul).

For now, the family and friends of Theresa are saddened by her passing, but we can also be confident of where she will eventually be, if not already there: “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV)...

We should continue to pray for our dear friend, and, in turn, she will pray for us as we continue our journey through this veil of tears...

Strength and honor!

It Has Been Proven: There Is Life After Death, As Thousands Of Dead People Have Voted In The 2020 Presidential Election!!

 This is great news!  There is life after death!  Take that, you atheists; you non-believers!  We Catholics (and others who label themselves as Christians) knew there was life after death, but the 2020 presidential election has proved what we knew all along!

Now, there is also proof that the dead are also aware of what happens here on earth; they do care and are involved -- directly, in some cases -- in the personal lives of their former loved ones and friends...

What the Bible teaches about the next life, as well as what the Catholic martyrs of the early church believed, has been proven in spades -- by the thousands!  Thousands of votes were cast, especially in the so-called "battleground states" by dead people.  So, is any more evidence needed to convince the world at large that we will have another life after this one?  I say no!  It is time to move on to the next big question: did those dead people realize that they cast their votes for a compromised, Communist puppet, Biden, and his entourage of his corrupt running mate, Harris?  I would have to believe that many of those dead voters were American patriots with some dying in battle to protect their beloved country, as well as freeing the European continent from the Nazi terror and bringing the Japanese Empire to its knees.  

Some, I'm sure, fought in "my" war, Vietnam, with their names appearing on the Wall in Washington, D.C.  I can't believe that my brothers would have voted for the anti-American, pro-death, Biden.  No way!

In light of all the evidence of voter fraud, that many of our dear departed voting public had their votes flipped from President Trump to Biden, they must be spinning in their graves, as the saying goes...

I don't blame them!  There must be a remedy for those of us who are still living, to right this great wrong for our dead American voters, since they cannot seek redress themselves...

Should we take this important issue to the supreme court?  Should we file lawsuits at the state level where there was the greatest fraud, such as in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, etc.??  The very least we can do for our dead voters is to pray for their souls that they make it to heaven, even if we can't get redress for their grievances here on earth...

In conclusion, I must say that even the anti-Christ, anti-life Democrats have confirmed that there is, in fact, life after death by counting all the votes of our departed brethren.  Thank you, Democrats...

Pray for our country and President Trump...

Strength and honor!!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us...

Afraid To Respond To The Hard-Core Leftists? Are We Conservatives Too Nice?

 Why the silence in the face of outright lies and discrimination against those who consider themselves conservatives and pro-life?

Are we being too nice; are we afraid to respond to the hard-core leftists?

Christ, Our Lord -- the Lamb of God -- didn't remain silent; He acted, when He scolded and chased the moneychangers from the synagogue -- the Temple of His Father!

So why are we conservatives afraid to speak-up?

The Roman Empire lasted for nearly 700 years!  If we allow the Left to take over our government; if we don't speak-up and protest to the end, our Republic will come crashing down in very short order.  The grand experiment envisioned by the Founding Fathers, will end at year 244, not 500, or 700...

If President Trump is not certified on January 20, 2021, and the Biden/Harris cabal are successful at stealing and occupying the White House for at least four years, our beloved country as we know it, will die a not-so-slow death.

The time for being "nice," is over!

It is time to take the gloves off and fight for what we believe in and protect our Constitutional rights as given to us by our good God, and enshrined in the Natural Law.  There are very few politicians and judges who are willing to fight for us, so we have to take the reigns of government out of the hands of the incoming socialists and outright Communists.  If we don't, then we will become mere serfs and enslaved for the rest of our natural lives.  

If you don't care about your own life and liberties, then think about your children and grandchildren.  Does the prospect of living under the heavy-handed globalist elite scare you?  If not, then you are part of the problem.  But it is more than a problem, it will be the end of our way of life.  Our rights will be consigned to the dustbin of history; we will be no better than any other third-world hell-hole where every aspect of our lives will be dictated to by a compromised, apostate "Catholic" Biden and the radical, anti-Catholic bigot, Harris.  

Both Biden and Harris are the most radical and extreme supporters of the slaughter of the pre-born, bar none.  They will foster even more killing of the pre-born by increasing, not decreasing, our tax monies to further fund the killing machines, i.e., "planned parenthood" and the many other abortion mills still operating in our country...

We get no help or even verbal support from the "Catholic" hierarchy in our nation.  Their silence is deafening!  They are completely compromised almost to the last man.  

If the supreme court doesn't nullify the 2020 presidential election, then I would urge President Trump not to leave the White House; stand firm, even if he has to use loyal military forces to do it!

Not such a "nice" prospect, but the only avenue left for those who believe in the rights and liberties instilled in us when we came into the world...

Pray for President Trump and pray for our country!

Strength and honor!

Massive Election And Voter Fraud In The 2020 Presidential Election; Massive Spiritual Fraud Among The Ecclesiastical Hierarchy: Are They Related?

 Absolutely!

The incredible weakness in the novus ordo hierarchy is stunning!  The milquetoast reaction to the secular authorities demanding that churches be shut down -- again! -- due to the so-called "surge" in new cases of the Wuhan virus, is further proof that they have nearly all deserted their flocks to the ravenous, anti-Christ wolves.  In addition, their response to the new -- mostly untested -- COVID-19 vaccines and the legitimate, faithful Catholics' refusal to take the poison, is nothing short of a sell-out of perennial Church teaching regarding the sanctity of human life, from conception to natural death.  These bishops know full well that the cell-lines used in the concoction of the vaccines include the tissue of aborted babies, yet most have pronounced that they are acceptable, and we should have no objection to being injected with the un-natural elements that make up this witches-brew of chemicals and the tissue of murdered babies...  

It should be noted that most of the draconian measures now being mandated are from Democratic governors and mayors holding a near death-grip on the necks of their citizens.  However, it is becoming more apparent than ever, that a number of Republican governors are falling for the false science being parroted by the leftist mainstream media concerning the new cases of the Wuhan virus.  

Cases versus hospitalizations versus deaths...

Is there a difference?

The answer is a resounding yes!

The "surge" in new cases of the virus means nothing; hospitalizations are for those elderly with co-morbidities, mostly of the elderly, and that coincides with their deaths.  But the Marxist media conspirators do not mention the age groups nor their co-existing diseases that are supposedly being infected with the COVID virus leading to their deaths.  We already know that the PCR tests are being manipulated as it has been proven by many health-care professionals, physicians and scientists.  In fact, it may be a simple cold or influenza that brought them to the hospital in the first place!  Make no mistake, it is planned that way to continue to instill fear, panic and, ultimately, control of nearly every aspect of our lives, both public and private, now -- and forever. 

The mainstream narrative sights science for demanding that all wear face-mask; un-social distancing, and stay-at-home isolation tactics.  The actual science is quite different.  Face-masks are ineffective; filthy -- after several hours of wearing, and do nothing to protect the wearer or those around them.  Doctors and scientists have proven this over and over again, but it falls on the deaf ears of an indoctrinated populace, unwilling or incapable of questioning the lies.  The widespread capitulation on the part of our fellow citizens to the illicit, un-constitutional dictates of petty tyrants, is scary.  But there are new, and ever-growing movements across the country, defying the lockdowns and restrictions on businesses and church services, mostly in Democratic controlled cities and states.  

Getting back to the question: is there a connection between the massive election and voter fraud perpetrated by traitors to our country, and massive spiritual fraud among the hierarchy of what passes for the Catholic church today?

It is without question that as the church goes, so goes society.  In this case, as in many others, the church's compromise of its core, moral, and spiritual values and teachings, has led to the destruction of uncountable millions of souls over the last 55 to 60 years, from just before the Second Vatican Council, to the present.  The revolution that took place in Rome starting back in 1962, and ending in late 1965 (the years of the Council), was the continuation of the ongoing revolution that began after Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden.  (It should be noted that shortly after the expulsion from the Garden of Paradise, the first murder was committed when Cain killed his brother Abel out of jealousy and envy; two traits of our fallen nature.)

This is not an oversimplification of historical or ecclesiastical events, rather it is a snapshot of the disaster of events in the church and society.  No longer is the novus ordo Catholic church looked to as a moral and spiritual beacon, not only to Catholics, but also to the world at large, as it once had been.  Is it any wonder why corruption, sexual predation, compromise and appeasement is the rule rather than the exception among the bishops to the secular authorities?   Most bishops, purposely, I feel, do not even mention or consider the traditional movement in our country, as well as in many other Western countries; just the opposite, many if not all of the hierarchy are antagonistic toward traditionalists including the Traditional Latin Mass.  

But why?

Could it be that such traditionalists are seen as a threat to the power of the cabal of bishops who want to maintain the status quo, regardless of the empty pews and the continuing revelations of sexually abused victims by homosexual predators in the novus ordo?  If this is true -- and the facts bear out this hypothesis! -- then one can only conclude that most bishops have sold their souls to Satan for power, influence and position in this life, regardless of the consequences they will surely face in the next.  Another major reason for their arrogance and disdain for church teaching, by the majority of the bishops, is that they feel emboldened by the current reigning pope in the person of Bergoglio, sitting in the Chair of St. Peter.   

We are being chastised for our spiritual sloth and, in many cases, our outright denial that in order to attain eternal salvation, one has to come in to the (authentic) Catholic Church, conversely, outside of which, there is no salvation for any human creature.  This fact, too, has been denied by the majority of those men who have been elevated to the rank of bishop, adding to the extreme weakness in the church, capitulating to the spirit of the age, rather than evangelizing those on the outside to enter the one Ark of salvation...

Please continue to pray for President Trump and our country...

Strength and honor!

I Will Be Leaving Facebook To Concentrate On Fighting -- And Winning! -- My Battle With Cancer..

 Back in the mid-1970's, I was stationed at the Coast Guard Group office in downtown Boston right smack on the waterfront.  Boston harbor was a hub of boating activity, with many "captains" taking themselves and their families out for a cruise to enjoy the many sights available to all Bostonians.  This was especially true during the summer, when boaters of lesser experience or responsibility, would take to the sea, lacking some basic safety protocols, as well as consideration for their fellow boating public.   On a typical summer weekend, things would begin to get just a "wee bit" busy!    

It wasn't only civilian, Sunday boaters that gave constant headaches to the Coast Guard, but also commercial fishermen setting out in sometimes-rough seas in their rickety -- and leaking -- boats.  Sure, they had to make a living, but they knew that if they started to take on water, they could call the Coast Guard and get additional water pumps delivered, or towed back to Boston or Gloucester...   

The communications center, or radio room, was manned by one petty officer radioman, along with a supervisor during the daytime hours.  When the supervisor left at the end of his shift, (he worked a regular eight-hour tour) all responsibilities for successfully operating the center, fell on the shoulders -- and experience -- of the lone radioman.  There was always a staff duty officer, usually a high-ranking petty officer up to the Master Chief grade, available, not only to advise and direct the rescue boats and crew, but also to write sit-reps (situation reports).  In addition, he could request further assistance from the District HQ, in the form of Coast Guard helicopters or larger C.G. ships to run search patterns for those reported missing... 

My main duties were voice -- search and rescue operations, as well as providing mariners with security,  weather updates and warnings.  The training and experience of the radioman played a crucial part in helping to save lives using his authoritative and knowledgeable voice, giving those in distress, confidence that they will be plucked out of the cold Boston harbor waters.   

The ability to prioritize tasks was the radioman's best friend, especially when several calls for help and assistance came into the communications center at the same time.  If someone ran out of gas, that's one thing, but if a boat was taking on water, with the distinct possibility of sinking, that's another.  I have personally worked a case, where the captain called a May-Day distress call, telling me his boat was on fire -- and his family was on board!   That became priority number one!    

 I can recount many situations over my three-and-a-half years working SAR (search and rescue), and meeting only once, a couple -- father and daughter -- that were rescued and brought to the duty officer's room (separated from the communication center by a sliding glass door).  They were thankful and happy, as we wrapped them in blankets until they were checked-out and finally released.  

My ability to prioritize helped me to save others using my voice, now I must prioritize my activities in order for me to combat and defeat my battle against cancer.  I will never give up!  And with the many good and decent folks using their voices praying for me, I know that Our Lord will hear those prayers, and be merciful to me.

Showing Their True Colors...

 Are you sick and tired of so-called Republicans not supporting, and, in fact, backstabbing President Trump in his efforts to seek justice out of an election so tainted with fraud and outright felonious actions, that it is almost impossible to decipher which end is up?  

I am.

It is not only the mainstream, leftist media that continues with the lies of giving the apostate "Catholic" Biden the exulted title of "president elect," it is also much of the alt-right, or "conservative" talking heads on commercial radio as well as in those publications and websites that we used to think would fight to the very end of the battle until victory is attained.  But no.  Instead of giving Mr. Trump encouragement and condemning the obvious coup d'etat against our president, they seem to have given in to the idea that the election is a done deal; it is not!

Here is a prime example of the milquetoast "department of justice" giving their take on the election.  From www.cnsnews.com...

"Attorney General Bill Barr in an interview with The Associated Press said Tuesday that the DOJ has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the presidential election.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told the AP...

"Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani and Trump Campaign Senior Legal Adviser Jenna Ellis released a statement reacting to Barr’s comments, saying that “there hasn’t been any semblance” of an investigation by the Justice Department.

"With all due respect to the Attorney General, there hasn’t been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation. We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined. We have many witnesses swearing under oath they saw crimes being committed in connection with voter fraud. As far as we know, not a single one has been interviewed by the DOJ. 

"The Justice Department also hasn’t audited any voting machines or used their subpoena powers to determine the truth.

“Nonetheless, we will continue our pursuit of the truth through the judicial system and state legislatures, and continue toward the Constitution’s mandate and ensuring that every legal vote is counted and every illegal vote is not. Again, with the greatest respect to the Attorney General, his opinion appears to be without any knowledge or investigation of the substantial irregularities and evidence of systemic fraud."

Update as of this morning... It now seems that Attorney General Barr has declared that they are and will continue to investigate any wrongdoing regarding the presidential election!  Stay tuned!!  

My comment:

That is why we must never -- never! -- give in until those responsible for massive voter and election fraud are exposed and face a jury of their peers, and, hopefully, spend the rest of their natural lives writing books in a federal penitentiary.

Each day, there is more evidence to show just how bold and arrogant those, enamored by the prospect of a Biden/Harris administration, have cheated, lied, and have broken their sacred oath to protect the U.S. Constitution as well as their own state constitutions.  This is not speculation on my part, but testimony from over 100 citizens, both Republicans and Democrats, who have written affidavits, and have sworn to almighty God, the truth of what they saw and experienced on election night, and after...    

 I realize that the Trump legal team is fighting an uphill battle, but it must be fought to the very end; nothing less than the very survival of the United States of America is at stake!

There are real heroes putting their reputations and their very lives on the line in order to dig for the truth and expose the evildoers and bring them to justice; some are politicians faithful to their constituents, and some are ordinary citizens seeking a just result of the presidential election.

This election is not just about who will spend the next four years in the White House, it is also -- and more importantly -- about living in our country, exercising our God-given and constitutionally protected rights ingrained in all human beings when they enter the world.  If the Biden/Harris conspiracy succeeds, be ready to suffer for your moral and spiritual traditions from the likes of the anti-Catholic bigot, Harris, and the radical supporter of the homosexual and "transgender" agendas, the apostate "Catholic" Biden.  Both Biden and Harris are also the most extreme supporters of the slaughter of the pre-born in the most barbaric of ways!   These miscreants must be defeated and true justice victorious!

Finally, we must support, at all costs, the Second Amendment; without the 2nd, all of our other rights will be consigned to the dustbin of history, and enslavement under a socialist/Marxist, demented Biden will follow...

Pray for President Trump, and pray for strength and honor!

Remembering December 7, 1941...

 December is right around the corner and the "day that will live in infamy" is also quickly approaching.

My readers should all know this date from the history books, or had relatives that might have been at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese launched a "sneak attack" on America, Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. Folks were on their way to church; sailors and Marines were in "holiday routine," yet in the process of the raising of the Flag and the military bands were playing the National Anthem; it was 8:00 A.M.... 

Since that infamous day, there have been other "sneak attacks" on America, or, should I say, from within America, by those who's aim is to destroy what the Founding Fathers established: a representative republic designed to have liberty and justice for all..  But we know that there have been, and still are, scallywags intent on making our beloved nation into an image and likeness -- of themselves! 

The Bible relates how Christ, our Savior, encountered corrupt leaders of His time, filling their pockets with filthy lucre, demanding that those under them live and act a certain way, while, at the same time, lived, just the opposite way.  Christ labeled such men as hypocrites -- one of the reasons for His eventual arrest and crucifixion.  It was obvious that the religious and temporal rulers didn't like being told the truth.  In fact, we know they couldn't even recognize the Truth standing right in front of their eyes!

Why do I bring up biblical history when remembering the attack on Pearl Harbor 79-years ago?  It might help by recounting former president, Eisenhower, and his eye-opening speech, just as he was about to leave office, and the new president, John F. Kennedy, was about to take office.  Eisenhower, the former supreme allied commander in World War II, warned the American people of the threat to our liberties, as well as to our peace and harmony, by the ever-growing and powerful, military industrial complex.  

I understand that there must be a relationship between our military -- let's call it the Pentagon -- and those commercial industries that produce weapons of war to deter, and, if necessary, fight and defeat a perceived enemy.  You can't have one without the other, but Eisenhower's warning referred to those secret entities accruing vast amounts of unaccountable monies from the taxpayers, and using those monies, not for the good of the nation, but for evil purposes.  In effect, creating a false god -- an idolatry! -- of power and control over the foreign policies of our country, and those that make those policies.  It is easy to see where that has led us, down through the years, especially after the Second World War, even to our present day, with un-ending wars and rumors of wars...

President Trump had recognized this sad fact way before he was even considering running for president in 2016.  And now, he is making good his pledge to bring the troops home from at least two war-torn countries; Iraq and Afghanistan, drawing down, in increments, to a point where there will only be about 2,500 troops in each country by the end of January, 2021...

After his announced draw-down, those powerful, deep-staters in the military-industrial complex, went ballistic!  Accusing the president of creating a potential and massive security threat -- to our country!   

How many realize that we have thousands of troops still stationed in Germany?   World War II ended 75 years ago!

How many realize that we have thousands of troops still stationed in South Korea?  The Korean armistice was signed 67 years ago! 

I haven't mentioned the numerous other countries where we have an almost continuous, and ever-growing, military presence, especially in some of the other Middle East nations, as well as on the African Continent.  

Once we get into a quagmire, it is almost impossible, it seems, to dig, or pull ourselves out.  This is not by happenstance, but by careful planning and execution, in my opinion...  

There is always hope, however, and that hope does not lie in one, particular politician or political party to be our "savior," but in the one, true Savior of mankind, Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Without Him we can do nothing, but with Him, we can do everything!  

Pray for President Trump, and pray for strength and honor!

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us...
