You're Not Above the Law, Don Lemon! Read the Indictment against the Church Invaders

The Left's invasion at Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday, January 18th was an act of terrorism. There have been numerous murderous church attacks in the past two years. In 2024 there were over 400 attacks, some resulting in physical death and injury. In 2025 there were nine, one foiled by church security. 

Only five months before Lemon and company carried out their invasion at Cities Church, a shooter killed two children and injured numerous others at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis. The two churches are only eleven miles apart, a nineteen minute drive. What do you think the congregation thought as violent agitators began screaming and verbally attacking them with the memory of the earlier invasion still fresh in their minds? 

Some videos show children crying and clinging to their parents. The screaming and chanting went on for at least the length that should have been a worship service. The congregation were denied their first amendment right to practice their faith. In the days following agitators have continued to harass the church although they have not entered.

These protesters, who preen and posture as making the community safer, didn't mind screaming at children that their parents were Nazis. They didn't mind terrorizing a congregation, some of whom initially thought it was an active shooting event. The agitators prevented parents from going downstairs to get their children from Bible school. There were numerous illegal acts well beyond trespassing.

The invasion was planned and the participants got together beforehand with Don Lemon handing out coffee and doughnuts. Now he makes the nauseating claim he was just reporting despite actively participating in both the planning and execution weeks before the event.

Left wing violent agitators think they're above the law. The Left was quick to label January 6th protesters who didn't even go into the Capitol building "insurrectionists." Meanwhile, the real insurrectionists expect to be seen as heroes and defenders of liberty. Martyrs of the American Revolution like Nathan Hale have nothing on them in their grand delusion.

It would be laughable if it weren't a fact that their liberal colleagues in the media as well as Democrat lawmakers, treat them exactly that way. What brave heroes they are for terrorizing children! The recent State of the Union Address illustrated exactly how morally bankrupt the Left is. One can only hope that Donald Trump was right when he called them "crazy," because crazy people are less responsible for their monstrous behavior.

And they expect no consequences for their violent, lawless acts. Unfortunately, that assumption is reasonable given the inaction and even enabling violence was the default position of the former administration. Violence in our cities was met with catch and release for rioters with Kamala Harris providing bail, so they could continue throwing bricks and frozen water bottles at police, burning federal buildings, destroying police cars and private property, and looting stores. How many violent rioters during the George Floyd debacle ended up arrested and serving time? Try to find some! Meanwhile, hundreds of January 6ers remain in jail.

Before you dismiss the activities of the church invaders with a shrug, read the charges. And here's a final video with very interesting information about the charges against Don Lemon. I especially appreciated Victor Davis Hanson's comments.

Sometimes You Just Need to Take a Break!

I need a break from thinking about the controversy over the SSPX consecrations and the crisis in the Church. Even members of the Church Militant need R&R occasionally which is what retreats and days of reflection are all about as well. But hobbies and interests also offer opportunities to put down the stress occasionally and give our minds and hearts a rest.

It's Time for COVID Accountability. Join Me in Signing the COVID JUSTICE RESOLUTION

A number of organizations including Autism Action Network, Children’s Health Defense, Health Freedom Defense Fund, Stand For Health Freedom, and The Brownstone Institute have joined in forming a resolution to Congress to prevent the repeat of the COVID disaster ever again. Remember the draconian measures inflicted with brutality on our people. While my home was never raided, I defied the orders by organizing twice a month rosary lunches where a group of women gathered to socialize and then beg God for help through the intercession of the Blessed Mother. No one ever got sick because of these events. They were a lifeline for us.

"The Heresy of Modernism Turns Minds into Oatmeal." Padre Peregrino Explains it all for You.

It's a sad reality today that many in both secular and religious society are "weaponizing language." We see it in the Democrats who call anyone supporting particular policies of Donald Trump Nazis, homophobes, misogynists, gestapo, etc., etc. But in the Church this weaponized language is used primarily against only one group -- those who support Sacred Tradition and embrace the Traditional Latin Mass and the traditional sacraments and rites of Holy Mother Church. We are rigid, schismatic, insane, trapped in the past, etc. You know the drill. And while the pope will meet with material heretics, pagans, pro-aborts, clowns, etc., those who defend Sacred Tradition are treated like lepers. Give us bells to ring to warn all the contracepting, aborting Catholics they need to run for the hills to prevent contamination.

But here's the secret. All these charges are bogus.

John Henry Westen Challenges Cardinal Sarah on the SSPX Consecrations.

I was seriously disappointed by Cardinal Sarah's article criticizing the SSPX plan to consecrate bishops in July. The cardinal has been a beautiful voice of truth. His book, The Power of Silence, was a wonderful companion to me on one of my five-day, silent, Ignatian retreats. My great respect for Cardinal Sarah magnified my grief over his article. I simply had to shake my head as I read it, because so many points conflict with the reality of Rome's actions. You can read the complete letter, translated from the French, here. I will quote some excerpts that troubled me.

In the first and second paragraph we read this:

Need a Good Read for Lent? Credo Will Build Your Faith!

I decided to read Credo: Compendium of the Catholic Faith by Bishop Athanasius Schneider for Lent. If you want to love God, you first have to know Him. And what better way to know Him than to study the faith using a solid Catholic catechism. 

Unfortunately, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, like so many things coming in these modernist-infected times, has been corrupted.  Studying a catechism like the Catechism of the Council of Trent or the Baltimore Catechism or, in fact, Credo is more likely to build up the faith without introducing novelties that twist the truth.

Traditionally most Catholic catechisms begin with the creed. I'm on Chapter 16 "I believe in the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints." With all the chaos in the Church at present, this chapter offers clear teaching on the nature of the Church, the papacy, and our obligations as Catholics. I'll quote several questions: 

Bishop Schneider Warned Pope Leo about Five "Wounds" in the Church that Need Healing.

Pope Francis often described the Church as a "field hospital" for sick people. Thinking along those lines, I see Bishop Athanasius Schneider as a doctor who correctly diagnoses the plague invading the Church when so many "doctors" claim the patient is healthy. He brought up five wounds in his December 18th meeting with Pope Leo and described what he sees as the prescription for healing. One of those wounds dealt with the Traditional Latin Mass and the situation with the SSPX.

Archbishop Vigano: “''pastoralism' of synodal officials is a hypocritical rhetorical pretense."

Archbishop Vigano responded to the SSPX letter to Cardinal Fernandez outing him for hypocrisy. Really! 

Hypocrisy at the Vatican? Can you believe it? Or has that become the default position of many of our spiritual fathers? I personally wonder how many of the magisterium actually believe what the Church has taught for millennia. If they do, how can they abandon it so completely that they are ready to canonize a man I can only describe as a sexual predator, Bishop Alejandro Lbaka. What else can one call a priest who cavorted nude with young men and let them touch his genitals and bring about arousal? Is he going to be the patron of all the clergy sex predators who brought such scandal on the Church? Will his canonization be used to justify nudity and sexual play as natural?

Good for Michael Matt, Chris Jackson, and Others: The "Best revenge" of the SSPX!

Today my focus is on the recent meeting between Fr. Davide Pagliarani and Cardinal Victor Fernandez, head of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), about the upcoming SSPX consecration of new bishops scheduled for July 1st. Many of us recognize the ploy for what it is, a last ditch effort to gain control over the Society. They (the modernists at the Vatican) want to control the Society because the SSPX is the main roadblock to what they want, complete annihilation of Sacred Tradition: not only the Traditional Latin Mass, but all the sacraments, the rites (e.g., exorcism), etc. All that reeks of that old fashioned Church. must be purged to make way for the new, ever-evolving Church. Watch the movie, The Catholics, with Martin Sheen to see the end game. The book and film were truly prophetic.

If You Really Want a Holy Lent, Walk it with Mary!

On the first and third Sunday's of the month we have catechism after Mass. It's short, only about twenty minutes, but what a grace! There is always a message that touches the heart and brings clarity to the "fog of the moment"* in which we live. 

Several Sundays ago Fr. Albert, a retired Dominican in residence at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary, delivered the teaching and focused on discouragement and Mary's role in protecting us based on the teachings of St. Maximilian Kolbe, Knight of the Immaculata.
