The Deadly Duo
He walks on stage, arms waving, huge smile, even a dance kick or two like a rock star. Yessir, VP candidate Tim Walz is living the dream. He’s a White House wannabe who can talk incessantly on anything and wants to spread so-called Midwestern values. And Kamala Harris, huge grin, huge laugh, joining Walz in…
An Evil Twist
Kamala Harris’s potential presidential campaign already looks like propaganda and brainwashing efforts. Harris’s focus on women’s rights seems to be a façade for promoting abortion and it’s likely that the media, controlled by women, will be biased against Trump and Vance. It also posits that liberal ideologies have eroded family values and suggests that Harris’s campaign will further such policies while misrepresenting facts. The author perceives this election as sinister and laden with deceit, urging prayers for divine protection and intervention.
Happy Father’s Day!
Fathers play a crucial role in shaping a child’s worldview and providing emotional, physical, and spiritual stability. The Bible emphasizes the importance of fatherhood in guiding families with love and discipline. Abortion disproportionately affects Black communities, diminishing fatherhood’s value and causing significant demographic losses. This impact is intertwined with systemic issues, highlighted by historical and ongoing advocacy against abortion within African American communities.
Care?
The author criticizes Planned Parenthood, accusing it of using deceptive slogans and telehealth services to promote abortions for profit. They allege that Planned Parenthood prioritizes financial gains over genuine care, exploiting election periods and influencing public opinion through misleading campaigns. The author doubts the safety and ethics of chemical abortions and dismisses the organization’s motives.
Toeing the Line in the Marxist Church? Texas Divine Mercy Situation Escalates
An observer expresses concern that priests in the Catholic Church are silenced and punished for critiquing corruption or hierarchal errors, akin to “toeing the line” under authoritarian regimes. With specific reference to Texas’ Mission of Divine Mercy, they lament actions taken against a member receiving alleged divine locutions critical of the Church’s integrity, noting the harsher treatment compared to clergy guilty of bigger transgressions like abuse. The writer argues for addressing real issues within the Church rather than suppressing dissent, fearing divine retribution for unchecked corruption.
Uncanonically Elected? St. Francis of Assisi’s Quips Raise Eyebrows
Optical illusions such as the vase or faces demonstrate how perception can be selective, akin to prophecy interpretation. St. Francis’ cryptic end-times prophecies exemplify this, with possible modern reflections and the ominous foreshadowing of Church division and tribulation.
Where is Truth?
“What is truth?” Pilate asked Jesus. I have a hard time when reading those words aloud because there are two ways to interpret them. Most people take them at face value, an honest question about the meaning of truth. On the other hand, what if, in truth, Pilate had a “who cares” inflection to the words. What…
Fr. Hardon on Whether any of Teilhard de Chardin is worth reading
Fr. Hardon criticizes Teilhard de Chardin’s writings, declaring them as disobedient to Jesuit orders and theologically erroneous, suggesting they shouldn’t be taught in Catholic institutions.
Imagining
The local parish’s updated Stations of the Cross booklet, focused on imaginative engagement with Christ’s perspective, caused discontent particularly by interfering with the point of saying the stations, impacting the writer’s husband, who misses the traditional solemnity. It seems the booklet is unsuitable for group worship.
Sickly (Sinful) Servility is Not Obedience, Fr. Micelli and Fr. Hardon on the Limits of Obedience
The post reflects on the misuse of obedience and servility within the Catholic Church, drawing parallels to the film “Casablanca.” It criticizes the labeling of individuals as schismatic as a wielded weapon rather than a legitimate accusation and argues for the clarity on the limits of obedience. The speaker recalls Father Micelli’s 1977 warning against compromising truth for fear of the world and the importance of standing firm in faith. The author also references Father Hardon’s teachings on obedience not leading to sin and the necessity of speaking up when required, pertinent especially concerning issues raised by church authority, including dubia or serious questions that warrant answers.
