Two "Catholic" Governors who Think They're Pope

It's amazing when so-called Catholic politicians presume to dictate the doctrines of the Catholic Church to the rest of us. Nancy Pelosi tried it and was roundly corrected. Ted Kennedy was a perennial false preacher (whose son and nephew are following in his dishonest footsteps). And there are hordes of others who remind me of nothing more than the barbarians who sacked Rome in the early centuries after Christ. Of course, despite their most insidious efforts, barbarians and heretics can never overcome the truth. But the neo-barbarians are still trying.

Enter Jesuit-trained Virginia governor Tim Kaine and Maryland governor Martin O'Malley posturing as Catholics who know their faith and daring to correct the archbishop of Washington, D.C. for defending Church doctrine on the sanctity of marriage. Archbishop Wuerl has said the Church will withdraw from social programs funded by the District that require the Church to cooperate with the evil of homosexuality. Since efforts to exempt the Church from the legislation forcing participation, there is no other moral choice.

Good for Archbishop Wuerl.

As for the two heretical Catholics, God help them. They should pay attention to the bumper speaker that reads, "Heaven: Don't Miss it for the World!"

Life is short, eternity is long. Nothing, absoolutely nothing, is worth risking eternal damnation.

The "Red Mass" is Well Named: Many Bloody Hands Attend!

Today the "Red Mass" took place at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington, D.C. This event welcomes Supreme Court justices, politicians, lawyers, etc. to a special liturgy invoking the Holy Spirit and is scheduled before the first Monday in October when the Supreme Court session begins. The Mass gets its name from the red vestments worn to represent the invoking of the Holy Spirit.

In recent years the event has been rocked by controversy as pro-lifers oppose Communion being given to pro-abortion Catholic politicians in violation of Canon Law 915. The Mass is open to the public. At least they say it is, but today a woman who regularly attends St. Matthews was denied entry. Why? She was wearing a pro-life T-shirt. She changed but was denied entry when she returned. Guess they didn't want a pro-lifer raining on their parade.

But think about it. Inside the Church were pro-abortion politicians like Joe Biden, pro-abort judges like Sonia Sotomayor, how many pro-abortion Catholics approached the altar and were welcomed to desecrate the Body and Blood of Christ? Meanwhile a Catholic who regularly attends Mass at the Cathedral was shut out, in fact arrested, because she claimed her right to attend Sunday Mass.

Our friends at Restore DC Catholicism posted a video on this disgraceful situation. But it wasn't surprising. Archbishop Wuerl has made it clear that pro-aborts are welcome to receive Communions sacrilegiously in his archdiocese. Like other politician/bishops before him in history he continues the tradition of tickling the ears of those committing scandal and heresy. God have mercy on him.

His red vestments today were a reminder of the blood of the babies killed not only by the abortionists but by the silent voices of those with the responsibility to defend them.

May God have mercy on our silent shepherds.

Supreme Court Majority Opinion: Attend Red Mass

Real Catholic TV and the Picture Worth a Thousand Words

If you haven't seen Real Catholic TV, check it out. Michael Voris gives a daily pithy opinion in The Vortex "where lies and falsehoods are trapped and exposed." In the video below Voris gives us a clear picture "worth a thousand words" of the state of the Church in America. After you watch it ask yourself, "when will the U.S. bishops enforce Canon Law 915 over these heretics?"

Archbishop Donald Wuerl and Bishop Paul Loverde are the spiritual shepherds over most legislators in Congress when they are away from their home parishes living in the Washington, D.C. area. Neither has lifted a finger to defend the faith against pro-abortion Catholic politicians scandalizing their people. Is it any wonder a recent survey shows a decline in Catholics despite massive immigration (both legal and illegal) of hispanics who mostly identify themselves as Catholic? The homosexual priest abuse scandal certainly took a toll, but many orthodox Catholics believe the decline is due primarily to the failure of the hierarchy to defend the faith. If the shepherds stand for nothing the sheep will fall for (and follow) anything.
