The Liberal Mind: Is There One?

I don't mean to be insulting with the title of my article, but if liberalism is a sin; a grievous sin -- and it is -- then why would anyone jeopardize their immortal soul to be a liberal?? 

It's mindboggling!

It is easy to prove this fact, because liberalism is diametrically opposed to what the Church teaches -- and has taught -- for 2,000 years, regarding the Commandments and the Natural Law.  This is especially true concerning the life of the pre-born (thou shalt not kill...). In order to be saved, we must absolutely need to obey the two great Commandments: to love God and neighbor.  

We know that the demon cannot possess or direct our free-will, but the demonic can heavily influence the intellect, thereby throwing our free-will decisions "out of kilter," mainly, by deciding to choose evil over good.  Or, said in another way, not being able to see the difference between right from wrong. What horrendous consequences for the children of such parents!  Then, there are those poor souls who will not repent, even at the very end of their lives, either out of obstinacy, or despair.  If that happens, then that sin -- the sin against the Holy Ghost -- will not be forgiven, and that person will die in their sins!   Meaning; he or she will be damned...

Far too many folks -- among the ranks of believers -- think that our good God will not condemn anyone to hell for all eternity, because He is all merciful.  He is all merciful.  But!  They forget that God is also all Just, and, as such, we will be held accountable for our actions or inactions in this life (remember, our Lord has told us in the Bible that our works will follow us!  Here is the actual verse...  "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."  (Revelation: 14:3, King James Version).  

This is the dilemma of the liberal, and the options are not good... 

The liberal mind-set permeates, not only the secular realm, but also the ecclesiastical realm as well.

I'm going to focus on the ecclesiastical realm after a few comments about the secular...

Let those who have eyes to see, see and those who have ears to hear, hear.  Those blowhards that are currently in power in D.C., are quickly steering our country to the brink of economic and spiritual ruin.  

Now, with a Democrat majority in the House, and a "deadlock" 50/50 split in the Senate, along with an incapacitated Biden in the White House, the forces of evil are having a field-day.  We can see the evisceration of any vestiges of life and hope in those Americans who still believe in the rights and freedoms given to us by God.  And although those rights are guaranteed in the Bill of Rights, enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, those rights are quickly headed for the chopping-block, by the design of the leftist oligarchs...  

Why is all this happening?  That question has been answered in my above comments, but bears repeating: rejection of God and His teachings, as codified and taught by His holy Church.  Such rejection can only lead to eventual destruction and despair.  Further, it is said that as the Church goes, so goes society.  If that is the case, then the sinful acts going on in the Church, are reflected in the secular realm as well...

Liberalism has no place in the Church; none.

Those hierarchs; bishops, cardinals and popes, are giving a scandalous example, not only to their flocks, or what is left of them, in the novus ordo church, but also to the non-Catholic world as well, especially to those who might have been considering entering the church, but have since reversed course...  

The outright flaunting of the sins (of the clergy); the watering down of 2,000 years of church teaching and traditions, along with new definitions of marriage and family life, has caused confusion and outright despair.   Many have left the church altogether, only to find that the grass is not necessarily greener where they end up!

I cannot imagine the price that will have to be paid by those priests and shepherds that cause the loss of faith among the flock entrusted to them!

The following is a quote from St. John chapter 8:47 (and forward...): "He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God." (King James Version.)

Remember The "Twilight Zone" Sci-Fi TV Show From The Late 50's/Early 60's?

 If you're not old enough to remember the Twilight Zone TV series when it first aired in 1959, and ran until 1964, that's okay... just search on Youtube or some other platform and watch the brilliant mind of the writer/producer, Rod Serling, present some of the best science fiction ever produced!

Serling weaved illusion and horror into a witch's brew that scared the TV audience half to death!  In other words, he was successful beyond his wildest imagination in presenting a sci-fi production that lasted for six seasons.  

As I just wrote above, illusion was a key component of the success of his show that ran over 60 years ago.  As they say, history repeats itself, and that's what we see happening today, but it's not a sci-fi TV show, but a demonic reality of a near-total, Godless society racing toward that eternal, infernal abyss...

Witness President Trump's partly successful efforts to promote the culture of life and instilling in the American populace, God, country, and family as the basis of a moral society.  All that has been completely erased by the stroke of a pen from the compromised, corrupt Biden and his life-hating, God-hating lackeys, in an illicit administration that may last for four years.  There is hope, however, that as more and more damning information emerges from the Biden crime syndicate, with the enforcer-in-charge, Hunter Biden, that a real impeachment and conviction will remove Biden and Harris from the White House, and stick them where they belong; in prison...

Even though evidence is piling up corroborating the deep corruption of Robert Hunter, the so-called department of justice, which includes the FBI, seem to be oblivious -- or, should I say, complicit in a massive cover-up? -- of silence and malfeasance.  But it is not only the FBI that is headed by traitors, it is the America-hating heads of the CIA and their illegal, abusive information-gathering on law-abiding American citizens through advanced technologies, including, most likely, your own smart phone!      

We practicing Catholics have to keep one thing in mind: we cannot count on any one person or political party to right the wrongs we see about us, or to pull us out of injustice and corruption, to do so, would only increase false hopes and eventual despair...  If there is any hope to stop the decay and moral turpitude, it is none other than Christ, our Lord; period.  

What is left of the Republic must be conformed to the will of God, and His rights and justice, nothing else will suffice, if that does not happen, then we will certainly get what we deserve, whether by stolen elections, or an outright police state, controlling every aspect of our lives...

Break through the illusion; pray like you have never prayed before; anchor your heart and soul to our Lord, especially by receiving Him in the Bread of Life; the Holy Eucharist...

St. Joseph, pray for us -- and for strength and honor!

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

Why All Believers Should Honor The "Silent" Saint: St. Joseph, Whose Feast Day Is Today, March 19th...

 I'll admit it upfront: when it comes to writing about the great St. Joseph, I'm an amateur.  Numerous great writers have composed books and articles describing the most important, key role, the foster-father of our Savior played in salvation history...

 Nevertheless, I will give my, admittedly, unworthy take on the man chosen by God -- from all eternity -- to be the protector of His divine Son, Christ our Lord.

As you can see, the reason for the title of my article: Why All Believers Should Honor The "Silent" Saint: St. Joseph..., is because the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, who came to earth to save and set us free from sin and death, needed a man to take care of Him -- in His human nature, that is.

Christ didn't have to come to earth and be incarnated through a Woman, but He wanted to elevate the dignity of His creation: man and woman, and by doing so, He sanctified the human body as temples of the Holy Ghost. 

Mary -- the Blessed Virgin Mary -- was also chosen from all eternity to be the Mother of Christ, yet she had to be married in order to fulfill the moral law and the nuptial traditions enshrined from the beginning of creation history, with Adam and Eve being the first husband and wife, and our first parents...

The role of St. Joseph cannot be overstated: as the head of the household of the Holy Family, he was tasked with the sacred duties of being the protector, defender, provider, and teacher, not only of Mary, his wife, but also of the Christ-child.  

Jesus, in His human nature, needed someone to teach and guide Him as He grew in grace and knowledge, to prepare Him for His holy ministry.

The Scriptures say little about our great St. Joseph, however, it was he who gave the holy name of Jesus to his foster-child; it was he who was referred to when the Jews and Gentiles asked who our Lord's (earthly) father was: the Son of the carpenter; the Son of Joseph...  St. Joseph is also called a "just man"; (St. Matthew 1;19, King James Version).

It was St. Joseph who cradled the Christ-child in his arms; it was St. Joseph who taught the boy, then the Man, Christ, how to use carpenter's tools; it was St. Joseph who loved and honored Mary, his wife; it was St. Joseph who, when directed by an Angel, covertly took the Holy Family to Egypt to escape the deadly King Herod; it was St. Joseph who died a most holy death: in the arms of his beloved Son and  Blessed wife...

It was -- and is -- St. Joseph who is the protector of our Lord's holy Church; it is St. Joseph who is the model of manhood and fatherhood; it is St. Joseph that the demons fear more than anyone, other than our Lord Himself, or the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Pray to St. Joseph for strength and honor, on this his feast day, March 19, 2021, and always! 

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

Mass Confusion About The Future Of The Mass -- Of The Traditional Latin Mass, That Is, Of The Catholic Church...

 I wanted to make clear that the Mass I'm writing about is the Traditional Latin Mass in the Catholic Church, simply because there might be some non-Catholics, or novus ordo (new rite) Catholics reading this missive...

First, let me say that the Latin Rite of the Mass has its origins as far back as the 500's A.D.  That's not to say that it began during that age, but the form used from that ancient time is just about the same as we witness when we attend Mass today.  But the first Mass itself goes back to the time of the Apostles as they learned it from our Master and Savior, our Lord, Jesus.  When, at the Last Supper, His disciples were made priests and bishops, and given the power to bring down, on the altar of sacrifice, the Creator of the universe, at the consecration of the bread and wine, transubstantiating those accidents into the Body and Blood of Christ -- for our sakes; for our salvation...

Here is an excerpt from an article that appeared in USCatholic.org: When did we start celebrating Mass in Latin?

"The first language of Christian liturgy was Aramaic, the common language of the first Christians, who were Palestinian Jews. While Hebrew was the language of scripture and formal worship, Christian worship occurred in the home where Aramaic was spoken. The words Abba and maranatha are Aramaic.

"Christianity quickly spread from Palestine to the rest of the world, and the Eucharist came to be celebrated in many languages, including Syriac, Coptic, and Armenian. In most of the Mediterranean world, the common language was Greek, which became the language of liturgy in that region and remained so until the early third century.

"Eucharist itself is a Greek word, meaning thanksgiving. The phrase Kyrie eleison and the words liturgy, baptism, evangelize, martyr, and catechumen, among other familiar church words, are also Greek in origin.

"From around the third century B.C., what we call “classical” Latin was the language of the Roman aristocracy and the educated classes. Around the time Jesus was born, during the reign of Augustus Caesar, the language began to change. The Roman aristocracy was destroyed by war and political infighting; when they disappeared, their language went with them. Classical Latin was replaced by a less refined version of the language.

"In the third and fourth centuries A.D. this form of Latin began to replace Greek as the common language of the Roman world and soon became the language of the liturgy.

"Exactly how this change in the liturgy came about is uncertain. In the early church the liturgy was led extemporaneously by the bishop, according to a pattern. There were written examples of Eucharistic Prayers, but they were models, not prescribed prayers. The last such document in Greek was written around the year 215. By the sixth century, the Roman Canon (which is still in use, also called Eucharistic Prayer I) appears, completely in Latin and prescribed for use exactly as written.

"What happened during those centuries? It seems that a core of the Roman Canon was developed and used first, probably even in liturgies that were partly in Greek and partly in Latin, until the final Latin version evolved. Because Christians had not used Latin for worship prior to this, words had to be adapted or imported (often from Greek) to express Christian ideas, beginning the development of an ecclesiastical form of Latin. There is also evidence that the Roman Canon was influenced by prayers from the Eastern churches.

"Even though Latin evolved into various modern languages, Latin remained the sole language of the Roman Rite..."

End of excerpt...

If anyone follows the musings emanating from Rome these days, it is apparent that there may be some dire developments concerning the future existence of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM).  

It should be noted, that in 1970, the "official" promulgation of the novus order -- new rite of the Mass -- was fostered on the world's Catholic faithful, thereby "replacing" the ancient rite, known as the TLM, well, not quite...

As it turns out, contrary to what some misinformed Catholics said at the time, and continue to promote -- to this very day -- the lie that the TLM was, in fact, abrogated: it was not then, nor is it now...

Just the opposite is true... The attendance of the faithful has increased dramatically ever since the 2007 moto proprio of Benedict XVI, allowing all priests to say the TLM without the permission of the local ordinary (bishop)!  However, it is also a fact that there has been, and still is, opposition from far too many bishops regarding the TLM in general, and priests not having to get permission from the ordinary.  In plain language, they don't like the idea that a priest can have a TLM service without the okay from the diocese... 

This opposition to the TLM from some bishops is perplexing!  You would think that the enormous increase in attendance -- with many young, large families -- that is also bringing in a staggering infusion of money in weekly donations, would make the hierarchy quite enthused about the TLM.  But that's not the case in most instances...

Now, it seems that pope Bergoglio has sent out a survey to the world's bishops requesting information about the TLM in their dioceses; attendance, funds collected, etc.   This -- for better or worse -- is having an effect on Catholics attending the novus ordo, etc., etc...

Some Catholic writers and opinion makers, are suggesting that this, and some other hints coming out of Rome, may be the first in a series of moves to lessen the availability or outright ban the TLM completely.  This possibility has already been seen in a recent goings on in St. Peter's basilica itself, with the restricting of the TLM to certain times; to certain areas, with only "authorized" priests saying the TLM.  Cardinal Burke, for one, is calling for that restriction to be immediately rescinded.  Don't hold your breath!

But what if the TLM is eventually banned throughout the world?  What then?  If that actually happens, we'll see just who has the guts to obey God rather than men...

Pray for strength and honor for what might be coming down the Catholic road...

The Unreported Ongoing Rioting And Destruction In Portland, Oregon...

 Have you heard about the ongoing rioting and destruction in Portland, Oregon?

Or how about in the major metropolis of Los Angeles; or Seattle, Washington?  

I would be willing to shell out fifty-bucks to anyone who has seen or heard this mayhem reported on the evening, mainstream, 6-o'clock "news."   

As far as Portland is concerned, it remains a city under siege!  

Is the word, siege, too strong a word to use to describe what is going on -- almost nonstop -- in Portland and other cities, mostly on the coasts of our great country? 

No, not at all...

Here are three similar meanings of the word siege: a military operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building, cutting off essential supplies, with the aim of compelling the surrender of those inside.  That's one; here's another: an operation in which a police or other force surround a building and cut off supplies, with the aim of forcing an armed person to surrender.  And lastly, one that is a little less traumatic: a prolonged period of misfortune.

But it's not the military nor the police that have certain sections of Portland under siege, no, it's Antifa and the self-described Communist organization known as BLM (Black Lives Matter)...  I have to say that Black Lives Matter is not only a Marxist/insurrectionist group of extremists, but use a name that is a misnomer if I ever heard one!   Can you imagine screaming a slogan of "black lives matter," while at the same time disrupting, and, in many cases, destroying the lives and businesses of their (our) black American brothers and sisters?  

A common-sense question begs to be asked: if these lunatics are "protesting" so-called police brutality targeting blacks, or racial injustice aimed at blacks, then why are they committing violence and racial injustice on their own race?

The answer: the likes of Antifa and their cronies, in treason, the BLM "movement," in reality, have nothing to do with righting a perceived wrong; rather, they are the useful idiots of the same Communist movements that have wreaked havoc all over the globe for the past 100+ years... 

The goal of these Communist insurrectionists is to dethrone the moral order of society, built, necessarily on God; to destroy the family unit as the main building block of society, and to end the ownership of private property, and to confiscate all firearms... Of course, there is a false egalitarianism that goes along with their lies and propaganda.  In reality, the few will dominate the rest of us, so, in reality, there is no "egalitarianism" at all, just outright slavery...

Over this past weekend, Portland experienced more rioting and burning, but none -- I repeat none -- of the mainstream, leftist media conglomerates (ABC, CBS, or NBC) saw fit to report this violence.  It is  more than that; it is an outright coverup of what is really happening... But why?  One answer can be that since Biden is now holding the White House hostage, it would be "embarrassing" to the administration to see what the real aim of these Communists are, and second, President Trump had nothing to do with creating the situation that continues to exist in Portland and other cities.  The ball is now in Biden's court, yet he and his "justice department" are as silent as the media are!  But not the people that are trying to live their daily lives; going to work; raising their families, etc... The cry of these folks, under siege, to Antifa and BLM, is "to get out and leave us be!" 

Where are the elected officials and law enforcement in all of this???   Why aren't these rioters stopped?  Earlier this month, 90 were arrested, but 31 cases were dismissed!  Why?  

At least there was some coverage from PBS...From an article by Geoffrey Dickens posted on Lifesitenews.com...

On January 25 PBS’s NewsHour online reported: 

Portland, Oregon, Mayor Ted Wheeler said Monday the ongoing criminal destruction and violence occurring in his city, which has been the epicenter of protests against racial injustice for eight months, is “unacceptable.” At a news conference Monday, Wheeler also said he had filed a police report about an “incident” that happened to him, but he did not elaborate. Later, his office said in a statement that the mayor filed a police report over something that happened Sunday evening. “The mayor is cooperating with the police investigation and encourages others involved to do the same,” the statement said. Wheeler, who was reelected in November, has been targeted before by left-wing demonstrators, including some who smashed windows and set fires inside his condo building. Earlier this month, Wheeler was accosted by a group while he was dining at a restaurant outside in Northwest Portland. A member of the group started swatting at Wheeler as others yelled obscenities at him.
…
On Wednesday following the inauguration of President Joe Biden, more than 150 people gathered outside the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement building in Portland’s South Waterfront. Portland police said protestors were throwing rocks and eggs and vandalizing the building. Six people were arrested and officers declared an unlawful assembly.

ABC, CBS, NBC evening news coverage: 0 seconds...

Is The COVID "Vaccine" And Euthanasia Related?? -- A REAL STUPID QUESTION!

 The death toll continues to rise with each passing day after folks are injected with the poisonous Covid "vaccine."  

This is not a conspiracy theory, but a fact of life...

As an example, two very famous athletes -- one, a hall of fame baseball player, Hank Arron, and another, a champion boxer, Marvel Hagler, died shortly after taking the eugenics-based, Gates and Fauci promoted, untested, "vaccine," contaminated with the cell lines from aborted babies.  

Aaron was in his 80's -- so why did he have to get his arm stuck with the Covid filth if he wasn't sick in the first place?  As for Hagler, he was only 66 years old, again, why did he have to be injected with the deadly "vaccine"?   

Those who, out of ignorance, or malice, claim that the "vaccine" had nothing to do with their deaths, but how do these characters explain the many deaths or severe adverse reactions of the -- literally -- thousands -- of otherwise, normal, "healthy" people?  To add insult to injury, these data have been vastly underreported -- vastly underreported!  The real pandemic is the lack of truth!

Even the CDC is admitting that the death toll is increasing; they can't hide any longer... But it gets worse...

Whistleblowers have leaked reports that pregnant women have experienced horrible complications after taking the "vaccine."  

The elderly in nursing homes are dying like flies after being injected with the Covid "vaccine."  

Many thousands of healthcare workers are uniting to tell the various governments around the world, that patients' rights have to be respected if they refuse to submit to the tyranny of forced vaccinations...

But if the U.N., the CDC, the NIH, and other rogue agencies attempt to force vaccinations on the American populace, or if the VA (Veterans Administration) tells all vets they have to be vaccinated with the Covid filth, there will be absolute rebellion!  Already, many active-duty vets are refusing to get the tainted "vaccine."  

Those who criticize government plans, or the military big-wigs, are being attacked for simply exercising their First Amendment rights to speak freely, or assemble peacefully, or just want to go to church and worship the God who made them...

The title of my article: Is The COVID "Vaccine" And Euthanasia Related??  The answer: Yes, without a doubt!  The population control freaks have come completely out of the woodwork, just like the disgusting, little roaches come out of their dens after the room-lights are turned off...

Their plans to reduce the population at the expense of the elderly and ill, is not a new phenomenon; this has been planned for decades, but now they are emboldened by the likes of the anti-life, anti-Christ, morally and mentally compromised Biden, and the weak-kneed hierarchy of what passes for the Catholic Church these days, with Bergoglio sitting in the Chair of St. Peter.  (Bergoglio has appointed the very vocal population reduction lunatic, Jeffrey Sachs to a very prestigious advisory board in the Vatican.)

It should be relatively simple to add two and two, and get four as the result, but, as with the new math, the new morality -- or lack of same -- two and two just doesn't add up.  God-given common sense -- and truth -- have been rejected for outright malice and lies.  In effect, those who kick our Lord out of their lives, invite the evil one, Satan, to fill the void,,,

Do we really deserve God's mercy?  I'm beginning to wonder...

Pray for strength and honor!

Can The Red Chinese Communist Military Defeat The U.S. Military Without Firing A Shot?

 I know that sounds silly on its face, but under the illegitimate "presidency" of Biden and his cabal, almost as soon as he stole the White House, he, and his extremist Secretary of "Defense," began to eviscerate the military with looney, "diversity," gobbledygook... 

I have to admit that, this nonsense didn't start with the apostate "Catholic" Biden, no, it started back under the corrupt Clinton administration, and continued under Republican presidents as well.  But why?  That's an easy one: no guts!

Okay, I know that if there are any feminists reading this -- that is, if there are any Catholics, or mainline Protestants, or Jews, or Buddhas, or Hindus, or whatever, that are radical feminists that would read my articles -- listen up...    

If anyone hasn't noticed yet, here's what's happening to our Army (and the other services as well, save the Marines (I hope!); not only are females being given more command responsibilities, they are now allowed to be up-close and personal in combat roles, yes, even as combat pilots.

But it doesn't end there...

Just as the illicit "president" Biden promised, he has now injected the anti-Natural Law filth of "transgenderism" into the public school system, whereby those who are, in fact, males, but claim to be female -- for that day, or hour, or minute -- can now enter your daughter's bathroom and locker room at will, and no one can stop them!  

In reality, what I just wrote is not true; you fathers and mothers can stop these leftist policies by pulling your children, especially your daughters, out of the public school system and homeschool, that is, if you want to save their precious souls -- and yours too!   If we fail, we will face the wrath of our Lord at our Particular Judgment.  Not a very pleasant prospect...

Those disastrous policies are now being implemented in the military services.  This is a reversal of the positive actions taken by President Trump using God-given common sense, which seems to be severely lacking in the malfunctioning brain of Biden.  

Can it be that the actions now under way is not just a payback to the leftist feminists' who supported the stealing of the 2020 presidential election, but also a deliberate plan to weaken the military? 

I say it is.

If that is, in fact, the case, then would not that be treason?  Would it not be enough to impeach and remove from office such a miscreant, as opposed to the phony "Russian collusion" charges brought against President Trump?  

I say it is.

Presently, the Fox commentator, Tucker Carlson, is under severe attack by multiple entities in the Marxist media for his pointing out the incredible stupidity of poisoning the military with these maniacal social experiments, a la Dr. Frankenstein...

Some of those entities are the arm-chair generals ostracizing the right-leaning, pro-life Tucker because he dared to speak the truth about females in combat roles, as well as the fact that the military will now pay for sex-change surgery for their "men" who want to become "women," and for "women" who want to become "men."  

What I just wrote is not an exaggeration, but fact...  

And so, that if this lunacy continues over a substantial period of time, it just may be that the Red Chinese Communist military won't have to fire a single shot when they decide to invade the U.S. mainland; all they would have to do is to gobble-up all the supplies of feminine products, such as maxi-pads and tampons!  

Can you imagine a male machine-gunner, in a foxhole, with a female ammo feeder when that time of the month comes around and she has no female "supplies"?  Just the thought of it is enough to make a male soldier want to desert his post!

Do the idiots at the White House, or at the Pentagon ever think of the practicality of their nonsensical policies?  Obviously not...

Pray for strength and honor!

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