Mass Shootings and Mental Illness; There's a Connection!


Another day, another mass shooting. God help us!

From 1440 Daily Digest
Minneapolis School Attack

A shooter attacked a Catholic school in Minneapolis yesterday, killing two children—an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old—and wounding 17 other people, most of them children. Authorities say the attacker, 23-year-old Robin Westman, died by suicide.

Annunciation Catholic School serves children from preschool to eighth grade and had just begun its first week of school. Shortly before 8:30 am, the assailant fired dozens of rounds through the windows into the church where attendees gathered for Mass. The attack lasted roughly two minutes, according to witnesses; at least two doors were barricaded. Three weapons were discovered at the crime scene—a rifle, shotgun, and pistol—all of them legally purchased.

The shooter, who transitioned from male to female in 2019, had no prior criminal history and was reportedly a former student at the school. Officials have not publicly identified a motive; phrases including "Kill Donald Trump" were engraved on a rifle magazine. The FBI is investigating the attack as an act of domestic terrorism and a hate crime.

Mental illness is not cured by mutilating people's bodies to pretend they are something they are not. How many times do we need to see the rage of individuals with mental health issues before we recognize that they are troubled and need real help. Among them are those with gender dysphoria who are encouraged to treat their mental illness as normal. It ain't!

How many parents have heard from a counselor, "Would you rather have a living daughter or a dead son?" as they encourage parents to drug their kids with puberty blockers and submit them to the surgeon's knife? They are part of the problem. How can someone who can't tell you what a woman is, help your mentally ill child?

Gender dysphoria is a mental health issue, even if the psychiatric community plays "let's pretend it's normal." And there is a serious link between violence and mental health issues - not just gender dysphoria, but other mental health issues as well.

Mass shootings in the United States between 1982 and August 2025, by the presence of prior signs of the shooter's mental health problems

The psychiatric community is contributing to this violence by treating mental health disorders as normal. To encourage people to believe they can change their sex by drugs and mutilation is unethical and, dare I say, criminal. Homosexuality, lesbianism, gender transition, etc. are no more normal than schizophrenia, multiple personality, etc.

There's an intimate connection between mental health and embracing reality. In my opinion, at this point we have a mental health industry that thrives on encouraging people to reject reality and embrace unreality. That's one thing if you are dealing with an Alzheimer patient in a locked ward and don't argue with his delusions. It's quite another when you coddle the delusions of millions of Americans telling them they're normal and even rewriting the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) to normalize woke insanity. 

In 1952 the manual identified homosexuality as a mental disorder. Homosexual activists challenged it until they were able by political moves to normalize deviant behavior. It is so radical today that mental health professionals in many states are prohibiting help to those who wanted to change. The focus must be helping them accept their deviant desires as normal.

Our culture is insane. An insane culture contributes to the increase of insane people. So don't be surprised when more horrible events like school shootings happen. Wokism makes them inevitable. 

The answer is to be always ready to die unexpectedly through a random act of violence. Go to confession frequently. Pray for the restoration of the faith. Obey the Blessed Mother's plea at Fatima to pray the rosary daily. Be zealous in charity. Reject the temptation to avoid conflict by being lukewarm. Remember, "All the evils in the world are due to lukewarm Catholics."

  1. Excellent, and most urgent post. The ignorance of mental illness is one of the major causes of the fall of society, especially, in our times when the devil is most boastful, deceiving many, especially, the children, and the youth, destroying familyhood.
    The weakness, and blindness is the cause of lethargy that can be easily maneuvered to complicity in the "diabolical disorientation" (Our Lady of Fatima), which is a plague of today.

    Legions have been groomed on purpose to foolishly dream of false ‘peace’ among nations, rather than focus above all on the peace of a soul, that can heal the nation, the true peace that can only come from the Prince of Peace, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Humanity, and the Church is groaning from the pangs of this ignorance, indifference, and lukewarmness……the loss of souls, known to God, only.

    “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge!” (Hosea 4-6)

    “HE will judge the kings, and the princes, and the legislatures, and the nations of the world for the laws which they have made…..” (Henry Cardinal Manning)

  2. While there are no doubt some instances of 'mental illness' in these situations, I think we WAAAY underestimate the indisputable fact that the vast majority of these mass (and otherwise horrific) murders are clear cases of demon possession. The 'gender dysphoria' is a portal, as is drug use (including MANY prescriptions), as is pornography, as are video games, and anime, most television and modern movies, etc. This sick, evil culture is absolutely loaded with portals to the demonic, and nearly no one (including Robert Prevost) is talking about how to avoid and run from the portals like the plague that they are...you know, actual, authentic Catholic teaching. Instead, it's 'accompaniment', 'fraternity', "understanding 'root' 'causes'"....I'll tell you the root cause; concupiscence. When's the last time you heard a 'pope', or any other Catholic in a position of national power, use that word? If they did, then they'd actually have to use the forbidden 3 letter 'S' word....and we can't have any of that judgmental tripe now, can we?

    The demons know that word and all that it entails...intimately. And they've got absolute, unfettered free reign to work on that crack with VERY little to no pushback...anywhere.
    Did you hear that part of the 'manifesto' of that demon-infested spiritual-psycho was written in Russian? Did that guy even ever study that language?...don't know, but I seriously doubt it.
    If not, that's a slam-dunk indication of demon possession....though it will still be denied; if even ever brought up.

    1. Vaepaiya. This is a Zoroastrian/Avestan word, derisively signifying transgenderism/homosexuality/demonic-inspiration, with the "inspired" human being compared to a receptive partner in sodomy. Cognate to the Latin root "vibro" and to the Sansrit word "vipra" (which is "divine"/demonic inspiration, but in a good meaning from the perspective of Vedic religion), this word has been used by Zoroastrians to describe certain practices of the false priests of their daevic enemies - priests that were effeminate in their bearing and that gladly assisted roving warbands of murderers (who used demons to enhance their fighting ferocity - i.e. Norse "berserk") that menaced the agriculturalists and pastoralists of Zarathustra's time. Do note that the Zoroastrian religion is at least 8 thousand years old according to the Greek and Persian sources - and is the earliest layer of the Indo-European pagan religion.

      If this phenomenon that they are describing was dangerous and horrific then, it sure still is now - the transgender and homosexual-supporting useful idiots that actually celebrate things like Phrygian Galli or the Scythian Enarei as "transgender history" are the biggest fools in existence. Androgyny was associated by the Greeks with rebellion against the gods and the natural order - with hubris (with the aforementioned uncivilized bandit warbands being known as "hubristes"). So there is a great deal of precedent for the vaepaiya to also be possessed by fury against all that is good - you might say it's a package deal. Hence the killing of children and hatred of the good religion. The fact that the specific vaepaiya in question wrote something akin to "death to Israel" on it's bloody weapon is also an unfailing indicator of allegiance to Satan - as such writings and sentiments are prevalent among Muscovites, Marxists, Muslims and Nazis.

  3. When I lived through adolescence as a young man in the 1970's I recall many weird and awkward times and there were no adults telling me that I could be a happy woman if I felt like a woman today.

    We need to discuss how to criminalize adults directing non-adults that there is a good life outside of the sex they were born into. Any adult that encourages, assists or provides chemicals or surgery to minors needs to be incarcerated.
    Until they are executed.

    Some people think it is bad to tell children there IS a Santa Claus.
    We have a civilizational crisis when we allow our youth to be treated so inhumanely.

  4. Yes, but the worship of gun culture doesn’t help. I lived abroad for many years while my husband was in the military and other places have mental illness but not the shootings we have. And yes, our military friends are some of the worst when it comes to the worship of gun culture.

    1. Yes, I agree. It only shows how we are programmed to live in a constant fear of 'something', or 'someone'. Burdensome existence in a sophisticated, and godless society of 'milk and honey.'

      Our Lady of Gaudalupe the hope of America, pray for us!

  5. My mother had a close friend who provided day care to the son of her neighbors who were both deaf. The boy's mother at one time had hearing so could speak, but the father could not speak at all. At home they only used sign language. They only had one child. The son was the same age as one of my sisters and when my mother got together with her friend once or twice a week to do needlework and other crafts the two played together. They started Catholic elementary together and were best friends until about second or third grade. The boy had a very high pitched voice and giggle. My sister also had a birth mark on her cheek which my mother was told could not be removed until she was seventeen by doctors shortly after she was born. When she was seven or eight in conjunction with an ear infection my mother was told the birthmark could be removed and so she asked my sister who said, yes, she wanted it removed. After it was removed my sister's teacher told my mother she was so glad that my mother had had it removed and confided that one time she had tried to wash it off my sister's face. It wasn't until my sister was older that I ever asked her if children had made fun of her at the school and she said, "yes." Unfortunately it was in conjunction with her erstwhile best friend whom she shortly thereafter dropped. All the children made fun of him because of his high pitched voice and laugh. They told him he was gay. My sister dropped him because she said if she didn't they would make fun of her too. It was a Catholic school. He went to a public high school and the bullying/making fun continued. He was gay they told him. In high school he first started calling himself gay. At a reunion of the Catholic school he told my sister he had always wanted to get married so he just married a man and became what everyone said he was. Girls were not interested in him/would not date him because everyone was making fun of him. I know nothing about the youth who is now dead in Minneapolis, but I do not rule out that he was mercilessly bullied at that Catholic school.

    It is terrible that he blamed Jesus Christ for the behavior of men. He did not want to be Jesus Christ crucified and suffering while all mocked him. He wanted to be "normal" and belong to the mockers. It was at MASS that he shot this school. He seemed to not think it was the individuals who bullied him, but the system that fostered them. Maybe he had the question why all these children could sit at Mass and then treat their fellow man so poor or do nothing while their classmates abused him/others? I've heard reports of his mother. But no father/siblings. I don't rule out priest/other abuse. I pray for him, his family and victims.

    I heard it was sin that caused all the evils in the world--the wages of sin is death. We wonder why Catholicism hasn't taken over the world and why all are leaving the church. And yet how many of us agree with Ann Coulter that while the Trump presidency is the most corrupt in history she doesn't care because he's throwing the third world out? Our country must have a white European population. We send the Infidel Motorcycle Club, who have "1095" and crusade crosses tattooed on their chests and vow to kill Muslims, to shoot the Gazans as they scramble for aid that doesn't provide the water or fuel needed to prepare it or sufficient calories (220)/protein or quantity needed for 2 million people. We eradicate the illegal aliens, the homeless poor, the Muslim to build greater Israel/Christendom. Killing will make us great again.

    "Who could ever love you?" Mary Trump is a lesbian. Trump is a constant bullier and insulter (Gavin "newscum") -- how many of us laugh and cheer him on?

    1. "Who could ever love you?" Mary Trump is a lesbian. Trump is a constant bullier and insulter (Gavin "newscum") -- how many of us laugh and cheer him on?

      Living in NJ for many years, Trump’s name was known to everyone, almost daily he was on the news, proudly boasting. He had his admirers then, as he has now (maybe not as many, anymore, finally scales are falling off Catholic eyes, especially). My friend worked in Trump Towers……enough, enough.

      I read the book, with heavy heart. My heart went out to Mary, who was a victim, as was her father, among so many victims. Bulling at very young age, if not corrected, determine one’s character. Do you think that I was able to share it with the so-called conservative Catholics? I have lost more friends due to Trump, than due to the vaccines, by ‘trad’ friends. They loved Trump the ‘narcissist’, they were so selective what they wanted to believe this man was, and what he will do for the country……

      They laughed, and cheered doing the debates, when he was mocking his opponents……. what a scandal, and bad example that was for the youth……the future of this country, especially, seeing their parents and grandparents, the ‘fools’ that they have become, swaying at his ‘rallies’ to YMCA……. who by their behaviour only confirmed that ‘yes, this is what it takes to get in the highest Office.

      In all the years being in this country, I have never seen such a circus doing the elections. I have never seen such ‘division and high emotions,’ among Catholics, this truly was not from the good Spirit.

      Our Lady of Fatima pray for us Catholics, for we’re living in a diabolical disorientation!

    2. Let's see: Bill Cllinton was a rapist and a serial abuser. Hillary Clinton used insider trading to make millions and stole stuff from the White House that had to be returned. And what really happened to Vince Foster? Barack Obama was up to his neck in illegal election tampering. You people with Trump Derangement Syndrome make me shake my head. Trump is no angel, but neither is he the devil you try to portray. All I can say is thank God the cackler wasn't elected. We would be on the verge of all the evils that Victor David Hanson warned about: a packed Supreme Court, elimination of the electoral college canceling most of the voters in the country, open borders run by sex and drug traffickers, etc. Catholics with eyes to see recognize that you do the best to choose those who will do the most good and the least harm to the citizens of this country. Donald Trump is a brake against the steamrolling evil democrat party whose primary issues are murdering babies, cutting off the genitals of healthy boys and girls, forcing dangerous drugs on all of us, election tampering, and an endless list of other evils. Get real! Your virtue signaling is just that!

  6. Yesterday I stopped by my doctors office (nothing wrong just dropped off a bottle of my homemade Zinfidell that he and his wife like). Doc is an orthodox traditional Catholic and he said right off the bat that it was satanic possession. I looked into it and found an article in CNA and sure enough doc was right. The guys room was loaded with Pentagrams the numbers 666 he even put a crown of thorns on his shooting target and had an upside down crucifix on this gun barrel. He goes to a school mass to kill what? The little children, the innocent. It was like Fr. Ripperger said about abortion, he was delivering sacrifices to Baal. Under especially these last two popes the Catholic church has disintegrated consistently. Stuff like this will not stop until we get back to our Catholic roots. Soul control and not gun control.

  8. I quit the demoncratic party on Jan 22, 1973.
    On Roe v Wade day.

    I quit the Republican Party, the RepublicCon Party, the can the Republic party, I don’t know when.

    Each US Rep, each US Senator needs to be reminded that when they vote for a bill to become a law, it becomes a law for the whole,
    entire Country.
    Each US Rep, Sen., has his own website. The problem is that the Reps’ sites lockout citizens outside their districts. I am not positive if some Senators do the same.

    Go to congress.gov, register as a user. ‘Track’ your reps/sens as provided. Tell the US Reps to introduce legislation to authorize:
    1.) Funding to allow ‘comments’, from any citizen/voter in the Country for both Sens & Reps.
    2.) Make all votes ‘Roll Call’ votes for both House & Sen.
    3.) Provide facility & options on congress.gov for reporting on floor votes, speeches, (sub)committee votes, everything on record regarding the Rep/Sen that a citizen/voter has a need and right to know.
    4.) All gov workers must be citizens. All.
    5.) 24/7. All of ‘it’.


    Computers were made for man. To make it easier and faster to provide the info we need and have a right to know. About everything a Rep/Sen (mis)represents.

    We the People are paying for it with our Sweat, Blood and Tears. No more INOs: cinos, rinos, ainos, pinos, demoncrats all. INOs: in name only; c: catholic, christian; r: republican; a: american; p: patriot

    Honest weights & measures. The Laborer is worthy of his wages. This means that the monetary unit, the $, like the pound, the inch, the gallon, the hour, must be fixed, the same - yesterday, today, forever.

    Pres. JFK was ‘done’ for ‘trying’ to do away with “fake $’s” & refusing to ‘aiding & comforting’ foreign & domestic “f(r)iends”.

    Whether Republican or Democratic it is our spiritual work of mercy to admonish sinners and teach the ignorant as necessary.

    Make the best of what God has given us.
    Awefully, yes - awe, thankfully, respectfully, needfully.

    Whether one votes, or votes not, we all vote.

    Christ lives.
    Christ conquers.
    Christ reigns.
    Christ commands.

    The Giver of all, to all, for all, deserves and desires thanks and thanksgiving.

    He gave Satan the ‘power’ and the 100yrs to ‘destroy’ His Church. The demoncrats will ‘see’ that the only church they will have destroyed is their own.

    Reject, renounce, denounce Satan, the Father of Lies and Murderer from the Beginning.

    Do not volunteer to be volunteered to be a victim of demoncracy.

    Jesus is The[(o)-God] Lawd.

    Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth - Demoncracy damned and banned as in Heaven - Peace to Men of Good Will.
