Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us!

For spiritual reading today, on this anniversary of Our Lady giving the miracle of the sun to the world, I recommend Chris Jackson's post at Hiraeth in Exile.

Pope or Politician? Looking at West Virginia.

Poor Wheeling-Charleston, a diocese that covers the entire state of West Virginia! What has Pope Leo done to you, conservative state that cooperates with ICE? He's named a bishop committed to the illegal invasion as your spiritual father. In fact, the bishop is himself an illegal invader who's never apologized for or repented of his own criminal entry into the country. Let's face it, most of those who enter illegally claim a right to be here and a right to help themselves to the wallets of citizens. Hospitals closing and schools overwhelmed? Citizens victimized by criminals? No problemo for the leftist thugs.

Dymphna's On Fire: Check Out Her Blog Posts!

Dymphna describes Chris Jackson at Hiraeth in Exile as being "on fire." She is too and her most recent posts are must reads. We live in challenging times. We have a pope with an engaging personality who is apparently morally bankrupt and cares very little for either the flock or the faith. We have a president with an obnoxious personality who obviously cares about Americans and talks about Christ more than many preachers do. Ah, but he is no gentleman. I agree, but I'll take a vulgar man who acts more like a shepherd against the wolves than a highly polished smooth talker who covers his wolfness with a sheepskin. Read Dymphna's posts and be sure to click on the link to see Chris Jackson's expose on the "Prophet of Perversion" recently praised by the pope. Did the Vatican learn nothing from the clerical sex abuse scandals? Dymphna and Chris serve us all by being watchmen on the tower blowing the warning trumpet. May God bless them both and may their tribe increase! Ignorance is anything but bliss these days!

A Letter to a Friend about the TLM Massacre in Knoxville

SSPX Chapel in Linden, Virginia decorated for Christmas 2024

I wrote a letter to a friend today, and I offer it for all my brothers and sisters who attend the traditional Latin Mass and desire all the sacraments in the traditional form. We are not rebels, we are faithful Catholics who desire nothing but to worship God the same way Catholics did for over a millennium which, according to Pope Benedict XVI, cannot be abrogated. Let us remain faithful and never despair despite the abuse from our shepherds. Scripture is clear. "Woe to the pastors, that destroy and tear the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord. Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the pastors that feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold I will visit upon you for the evil of your doings, saith the Lord." Jeremiah 23:1-2 Pray for the pope and the bishops. They have much for which to answer!

An Argument about the Papacy that Matters

Do some popes lead us down
the "primrose path of dalliance?"

The debate between those holding the sedevacantist position and those who've adopted the refuse and resist position about the pope matters, if only as a lesson in theological argument. But there's a way to argue with grace and courtesy that is often lacking in discussions of this stripe. 

I've often felt beat over the head by sedevacantists who cannot possibly think their position may be in error. So they browbeat those who will not jump on their "The pope is a heretic so he can't be pope!" bandwagon. Are they correct? I don't know! 

The other side is often just as acrimonious in defending their belief. Who can see the issue for all the dust stirred up by the shouting?
