R.I.P., Dana Taylor, Vietnam Veteran...

The following was received from a prayer list that is run by our friend in New Hampshire... 

"...informed me Dana Taylor, our well-known and liked, former Selectman [Richmond, NH], passed away after a long illness.  Dana suffered from wounds received during combat in the Viet Nam War.  Please pray for the repose of his soul.  Dana died shortly after 3:00 p.m. today.  Kindly pray at least one Hail Mary for this good man and for his family."

I should note at the outset of my missive, that whoever is wounded for bravery during combat, is awarded the Purple Heart, (first instituted during the Revolutionary War by General George Washington).

Here is some interesting information about the original purpose of the award of the Purple Heart from the Encyclopedia Britannica...

"Purple Heart, the first U.S. military decoration, instituted by General George Washington in 1782 and awarded for bravery in action. The records show that only three men received it during the American Revolution, all of them noncommissioned officers. Two of these coveted badges still exist. The original medal, sewn onto the coat, was simply a purple heart-shaped piece of cloth edged with silver braid. Although this was the medal of honor of the Revolution, it seems to have been forgotten for about 150 years. The 200th anniversary of Washington’s birth marked the revival of the award (February 22, 1932)."

As you can see, the Purple Heart was presented to those for bravery in action, and today, it is presented to those who have been wounded in action.  I contend that being wounded in action, obviously means that the G.I. who was wounded, was also brave!

Having said that, most who have been wounded in action, would deny that they are brave or heroes, but were only doing what had to be done.  In other words, they did their job... To their brothers-in-arms, however, who were saved by the actions of their wounded brother, he was brave; he was a hero -- to them, at least!

From my own recollection of Dana, I remember his shaggy hair and beard; his severe limp from the wounds to his leg.  On one occasion, after Sunday Mass, at the St. Joseph hall, packed as usual for brunch, Dana and his wife, Mary, came through the door into the hall.   At that point every one cheered and gave him a standing ovation!!  I could see his countenance light-up!   His disfigured leg and the pain it caused him, disappeared, at least momentarily... 

Dana always stood up and supported the St. Benedict Center when doing his selectman duties, as there was much antagonism from some of the other selectmen toward the Center, and the practicing Catholics who formed the little, tight-nit community in the beautiful woods of rural New Hampshire... 

The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 4;8: "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins." (King James Version.)

Dana showed much charity toward those at the Center in the face of heavy criticism from his fellow selectmen; he did his job, as all heroes do...

Rest In Peace, my brother...

Pray for strength and honor, and please say a prayer for Dana Taylor...

Absolute Madness In The Military Under The Biden "Administration": Normalizing Of Homosexuality And Transgenderism...

 Read the full article here: US military goes full speed ahead toward max LGBT inclusion with ‘diversity’ panels, all-gay helicopter crew | News | LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)...

I will simply make a comment, coming from a patriot who served in two branches of the military, including a tour of duty in Vietnam -- December 1967, to December 1968...

I am totally disgusted and would never advise anyone to join the military until God-given common sense and adherence to the Natural Law returns to the hearts and minds of men and women.

If you think that it is easy for me to make that comment, you are sadly mistaken.  On the contrary, it pains me to do so.  I love my country.  But I can no longer support the policies of a rogue federal government being run -- question: just who is in charge at the White House?? -- by an incoherent, culture of death, apostate "Catholic", Biden and his cabal of anti-life, anti-Christ, leftist extremists hell-bent on destroying what is left of the Republic.

It is apparent that the mentally-challenged Biden, has lost all sense of right and wrong; what is good and what is evil... His biggest hurdle: overcoming those God-fearing, family-oriented men and women, fathers and mothers, who know the core building block of society is the family unit.  

To be blunt: Biden's chief ally is the evil one himself, Satan!

It will take more than exclaiming "that God is in control," to defeat these miscreants and return to the tenets of the Natural Law, and, by extension, the divinely revealed laws of God almighty.  It will take resistance and action -- if necessary -- to fight for the rights and true liberties that have been given to us by our Creator.  Liberties in the best sense, under the law of God, not the "liberties" espoused by those who equate liberty (freedom) with license!

In the end, we get what we deserve, as Sodom and Gomorrah got their just deserts, only what our "legal system" in this country has allowed -- especially the killing of the pre-born -- merits a far worse sentence: justice, that is conveniently overlooked when emphasizing the mercy of God! 

Please pray for strength and honor; for our country and our families...

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

What Are The Demonrats So Afraid Of?

 Ever since the fraudulent, stolen election by the Demonrats in a massive conspiracy that successfully installed the puppet, Biden, in the White House, there have been real patriots calling for a forensic audit of the votes and voting machines used, especially in the "swing states" that President Trump actually won, but had votes "flipped" to the Biden camp.

Right now, as I write this missive, there is an ongoing attempt to audit those very same votes and voting machines in Maricopa County, Arizona.  (Maricopa County encompasses the highly populated megalopolis of Phoenix and the surrounding suburbs.)

I said attempt to audit the votes and voting machines...

The Arizona state senate and the voting public have every right to find out if there was voter fraud that eventually gave the state to the Demonrats, but those very same Demonrats have thrown roadblock after roadblock in an attempt to stifle and stop the audit.  This, even though a judge has ruled that the Maricopa County supervisors must allow the audit and access to the routers used to transmit information (across the Internet) on the night of November 3, 2020.  

Those supervisors should be charged with contempt of court, and threatened with arrest and fines!

We have now heard that the so-called Department of Justice, (a real oxymoron!) under Biden, has entered the fray, or is attempting to enter into a matter of the state where the DOJ has no business or authority to stop the audit...

If the vote count on November 3rd, was legitimate, why are the Demonrat M.C. Supervisors so afraid of a forensic audit?  

Here's why...

If a true and honest, bipartisan audit is done, and the vote and voting machines show multiple irregularities, this could lead to a finding that President Trump actually won the state.  If that happens, then other states considering audits may insist on doing them to determine if their states had irregularities too.   In other words, there could very well be a domino effect, with state after state demanding an audit to make sure the reported vote count of November 3rd was, in fact, accurate, and to ensure voter integrity for all future elections...

Audits might very well happen in Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and potentially in some of the other "swing states".   

We all know that President Trump was ahead by huge numbers in those three states on the night of Nov. 3rd, only to wake up the next morning to see a massive vote-flip in favor of the incoherent, Biden.  In essence, we have a false, fraudulent "president" holding the White House hostage for potentially up to four years.  We'll see...

In the meantime, pray for strength and honor, and never capitulate to the anti-life, Christ-hating Demonrats and their bizarre and deadly agenda...

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

The Killer Drug, Fentanyl -- 50 Times More Potent Than Heroin -- Is Flooding Across The Southern Border!!

 The title of my article bears repeating: The Killer Drug, Fentanyl -- 50 Times More Potent Than Heroin -- Is Flooding Across The Southern Border!!

The incompetent, incoherent Biden "administration" has allowed the influx of over 5,500 pounds to reach the southern border because of the madness of his open border policy... That amount has been seized since the beginning of the fiscal year 2021, while in all of 2020, about 4,700 pounds were confiscated by the DEA and Border Patrol.

Opioid deaths in the United States totaled more than 87,000 in 2020 and have already risen 60 percent in the fiscal year of 2021.

Eighty-seven-thousand opioid deaths!

If 87,000 people died in car accidents each year (there were 38,800 deaths from car crashes in 2019), do you think there would be an intense and focused investigation to find the cause of such mayhem?   Why isn't the DOJ, the FBI, the DEA, and other agencies pouring resources and manpower into solving this horrific problem?  

One answer: a house divided against itself cannot stand.  And that is what we are seeing with the weak-kneed Biden and his cabal of ultra-liberal, anti-life, anti-Christs surrounding the puppet occupying the Oval Office.   How can this miscreant pretend to care about Americans, when he and his "advisors" are determined to inject over 500,000 illegal aliens this year alone, into the U.S.?  (That figure may be way understated!)   Some of these aliens are felons and gangsters with ties to gangs already on American soil.  This does not take into consideration the sickening reality of human trafficking and selling vulnerable females into the sex-slave "industry".  

Question: just what is fentanyl?

From the DEA website... Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for pain management treatment of cancer patients, applied in a patch on the skin. Because of its powerful opioid properties, Fentanyl is also diverted for abuse. Fentanyl is added to heroin to increase its potency, or be disguised as highly potent heroin. Many users believe that they are purchasing heroin and actually don’t know that they are purchasing fentanyl – which often results in overdose deaths.

“It’s manufactured in Mexico clandestinely, with chemicals that come from China,” noted Kyle Williamson, El Paso DEA Special Agent-in-Charge.

It produces Intense, short-term high temporary feelings of euphoria, slowed respiration and reduced blood pressure, nausea, fainting, seizures and death...

Question: who is dying from drugs contaminated with fentanyl in the U.S.?  

Those in the age group of 35-44 years of age... Incredibly, there are those in their teens that have experimented with and succumbed to this powerful and deadly concoction!

During the Trump administration, there was a measure of success in preventing the surge of deadly drugs from entering our country.  What is lesser known, is that President Trump was the impetus behind many successful sting operations that freed many captive young girls and women from a life of captivity and slavery right here in the U.S.  Of course, the mainstream media rarely, if ever, mentioned or reported this to their brainwashed audience...

Now, Biden's incompetence gets a pass from that same leftist media, but that's to be expected...

I ask all of good will to pray for our country, now more than ever and for strength and honor...

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

Modernism: Devoid Of True Charity!

 "...And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?  He said unto him, what is written in the law? How readest thou?  And he answering said, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.  And he said unto him, thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live."  (St. Luke, 10:25-28, King James Version.) 

To be clear, when Christ tells us to love thy neighbor, He is telling us that we must wish the best for our neighbor; pray for our neighbor; show charity toward our neighbor.  By wishing the best for our neighbor; by being charitable to our neighbor, we are, in fact, loving our neighbor.  And, to treat our neighbor the way we want to be treated...

Modernists pretend to love their neighbor.  They exhibit a false compassion; a false charity, but in reality, they do not love their neighbor!

Actions speak much louder than words, and the false compassion of the modernists simply reflect their hypocrisy; they try to "buy" allegiance from their neighbor; that is not charity.  They can bribe, cajole, or threaten their neighbor, but show little real concern for their well-being, or, by extension, for the commonweal of the city, town, state or nation that they have been elected to represent...  In this instance, we are talking about politicians; and modernists, as well, infiltrating and infecting the clergy.  This can easily be seen by the capitulation to Caesar, and his illicit dictates, during the so-called "pandemic" of the Wuhan coronavirus, known as covid-19... 

The "concern" of the hierarchy for the "health and safety" of their flocks was made manifest by the shutting and locking of church doors for months on end, denying even the last rites of the Church -- Extreme Unction -- to those near death, with many dying without those special graces, nor with family or loved ones present, leaving the poor soul to die alone.

This is charity??

This disgrace is the opposite of charity!  These clerics refused to stand up to the medical tyrants, and instead emboldened them with their lukewarm response, if they responded at all.  They agreed with the misinformation that was, and continues to be, circulated by the mainstream media.  And anyone who dares to report the real science, and statistics, are quickly labeled as conspiracy nuts, or anti-vaxxers...

During the initial shut-down of our church in Kansas City, I called the diocese and left a message expressing my disapproval of the lock-down of the churches.  The only response I received was a terse message left on my phone recorder: "This is not open for discussion!"

It is said that the Catholic Church alone received in excess of $3,000,000,000 -- BILLION! -- dollars from the godless federal government to keep the churches locked!  

Instead of looking out for their flocks, the modernist-controlled hierarchy discarded true charity for phony "charity," using the excuse of trying to stop the spread of the hoax-virus, that has an over 99 percent recovery rate, for almost all age groups...

The modernists mimic the Pharisees of our Lord's time, in that they put on airs and tell the people under their charge to do as they direct concerning the law, but in reality, they live not according to the law.  Simply stated, they used a double-standard in the application of the law, and that is exactly what we see happening today, both in civil and ecclesiastical society...  

The most insidious of the modernists are those in the hierarchy of what passes for the Catholic Church these days, when they water-down Church teachings, especially the defined dogmas that are a part of the Deposit of Faith.  One of the most egregious examples comes from a "bishop" by the name of Barron.  This character believes -- and teaches -- that most of mankind will have a good chance of being saved!  

One of the problems of such a nonsensical speculation is that it directly contradicts Scripture -- including the very words of our Lord, Himself!  Furthermore, because of the reach of this very popular "bishop" on the various social media platforms, his errors and heresies are a massive scandal that causes confusion and doubt among the faithful, as well as those considering coming into the Church! 

Not teaching truth, is the opposite of true charity and contradicts the command of Christ to preach -- the truth! -- and baptize all peoples.   Giving false hopes to those outside the Church is damnable, not only for those who are told that "you're fine where you are," and in  some weird, unexplained way, you are an "anonymous Christian."

In essence, Barron is playing Russian Roulette with the souls of those who listen and follow his errors; his madness...

Pope Saint Pius X condemned modernism as the synthesis of all heresies!  That was over 100 years ago!  How much worse -- and widespread -- are the heresies of today, being swallowed by the ignorant and poorly catechized, leading to the very real possibility of being damned for all eternity.  What a horrendous account the modernists will have to face at their Particular Judgment for the loss of "just" one soul!

Pray for strength and honor -- and for discernment!

MADNESS! Face-Diapers For Two- And Four-Year-Olds In Michigan!

 The demonically possessed "Governor" Gretchen Whitmer has gone completely insane!  This female tyrant has now mandated face-diapers for two- and four-year-olds in that gulag prison camp known as the state of Michigan...

This so-called governor continues her reign of terror on the citizens of that economically and spiritually dead, barren landscape...

But this is nothing new, as most of the demonrat controlled states and cities are a vast wasteland of hopelessness, despair, riots, death and mayhem.  In short, the true colors of these monsters are now out in the open for all to see; they are emboldened by weak-kneed sheeple as well as a Catholic hierarchy afraid of their own shadows, refusing to resist to the face, the failed Gov. Whitmer...

What befuddles me, is why the parents -- fathers and mothers -- of all school-aged children  simply don't pull their kids out of those indoctrination centers and homeschool their precious, little souls.  This would keep them safe from radical sex-ed programs, not to mention being taught to hate America and all its traditions every time they take a seat in a classroom...

The lunacy of wearing face-diapers has been proven to be just that -- lunacy!  Real science has shown that face-diapers are completely ineffective in preventing the spread of any virus, but does contribute to breathing in one's own germs and bacteria, especially when athletes are forced to wear face-diapers when working out or running... 

Simply stated, what we are dealing with here is child abuse...

 The petty tyrant, Whitmer, continues to impose un-constitutional dictates on the citizens of her state, even though the Michigan Supreme Court struck down a 1945 law that Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer had been using to keep the state in perpetual lockdown since April.

According to the ruling, Whitmer’s coronavirus state of emergency “is in violation of the Constitution of our state because it purports to delegate to the executive branch the legislative powers of state government–including its plenary police powers – and to allow the exercise of such powers indefinitely. As a consequence, the EPGA cannot continue to provide a basis for the Governor to exercise emergency powers.”

But that hasn't stopped Whitmer from using Stalin-like tactics to maintain fear and control over the population of Michigan... Though things are beginning to change, as more and more people continue to protest against the draconian virus restrictions arbitrarily imposed by Whitmer, which are killing the economy and causing mass depression and suicide; something the mainstream media completely ignores...  

Whitmer is a symptom of the deep moral and spiritual malaise in our beloved country...   That buck stops at the desk of those in authority, whether in government, the church, or in the home, when God is cast aside or completely ejected from the hearts of men and women, evil will quickly fill the void in its place...

Pray for strength and honor to resist to the face, these petty dictators...

Modernism + "Unity" = Rejection Of Dogma...

 "Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body." (St. Paul, I Corinthians 11;27-29, King James Version.) 

We are talking about the Holy Eucharist here; the summit of Catholic worship; the means by which we have the supernatural life of grace in us...

Yet to receive the Eucharist unworthily, is to commit a sacrilege.  In other words, the mortal sin of sacrilege.

In recent days, the Eucharist has been used as a "political football" in the name of "unity."  True unity can only be accomplished when those outside the Church, enter the one Ark of salvation.  All other efforts at unity, or "dialogue," are meaningless.

The following is from an article by Joseph Shaw (lifesitenews.com), April 27, 2021...

"Following an article in America by Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila of Denver, in which he reiterated the Church’s teaching on the importance of approaching Holy Communion with the right dispositions, Cardinal Blase J. Cupich of Chicago wrote a curious admonition to Aquila..."

"I respectfully note that to claim that we can do anything to diminish the Eucharist, or its effects, is contrary to the church’s longstanding teaching. Catholic sacramental theology is based on the premise that the sacraments are the work of Christ, which is the meaning of the Church’s affirmation at Trent (DS 1608) that the sacraments act ex opere operato, or, as St. Thomas wrote in the Summa, III, 68,8: “The sacrament is not wrought by the righteousness of either the celebrant or the recipient, but by the power of God.” Owing to the nature of God, Christ and his works can never be diminished by any act on our part.

"Here, Cupich points out that an unworthy recipient of Holy Communion genuinely receives the Body of Christ, and erroneously infers that he also receives the grace which should accompany Holy Communion. But God does not force His grace on us. As the ancient chant composed by St. Thomas Aquinas for the feast of Corpus Christi expressed it: “Sumunt boni, sumunt mali, sorte tamen inaequali, vitae vel interitus — The good take, the bad take, yet with unequal destiny, of life, or of ruin.”

"It is difficult to believe that Cupich really thinks that communicants receive graces entirely irrespective of the state of their souls and their good dispositions. Such an attitude would be superstitious: It would make the Blessed Sacrament into a magical amulet which saves people without their knowledge or consent...

"Baptism does not make it impossible for us to go to Hell: There, indeed, it will be a mark of shame. Reception of any of the sacraments without the right dispositions is a sin against these holy things: It is sacrilege. We do not receive graces through sins, but lose those we had before.

"Something else Cupich’s words obscure is the distinction between God’s intrinsic and extrinsic glory. He wrote that “Christ and his works can never be diminished by any act on our part,” and this is true of the glory intrinsic to Christ. But consider activities which, as we might say, “give glory to God”: teaching children the Faith, building a beautiful Church, taking part with fervor at a Mass celebrated in a truly worthy way by a holy priest.

"These things do something: They give to God glory which He ought to have, but too rarely receives, on earth, from us. If those things stop happening, God’s glory is diminished on earth. It is not diminished in heaven: The glory which is intrinsic to Him cannot be diminished or augmented by anything we can do. But we can certainly make more, or less, of an effort to give Him the glory which He deserves here. In the words of George Herbert, “In my heart, though not in heaven, I can raise Thee.”

"By the same token, when the Blessed Sacrament is received unworthily, when the liturgy is celebrated in a slapdash or ugly way, when rioters burn down or desecrate churches, or when priests are so unworthy of their orders that they abuse children, these things make a real difference to God’s extrinsic glory.

"God is not harmed, certainly, but acts of desecration and calculated insult towards God are things to which Catholics must respond, with greater efforts to restore to God some measure of the honor which is His due, from the human race. It is perhaps convenient to think of God as being entirely above the fray, but we are called on to build God’s Kingdom on earth: to build up His Church, and His reign in the hearts of men. As we know, this is a project which can go backwards as well as forwards, according to the efforts of Catholics, and of the Church’s enemies. They don’t let up. Neither must we."

End of excerpt...

The false shepherd, "Cardinal" Cupich, has no problem giving the Holy Eucharist to non-Catholics, or pro-abortion "Catholics," especially those politicians that claim to be "devout Catholics."  You know the type: "I'm personally apposed to abortion, but I will not impose Catholic teaching on anyone"...

These modernist clerics espouse a false unity that accomplishes one main goal: to weaken or eliminate the defined dogmas of the Church, making Christianity into one, homogenized, one-world movement with the intention to destroy the essence and purpose of the Catholic Church in the first place: the salvation of souls...

We must resist these false shepherds!

Pray for strength and honor!

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