Guest Post: Daniel Graham Gives a History Lesson on the Crisis in the Church

I'm delighted to post this article from Daniel Graham, author of Lex Orandi, a book that 
gives a side-by-side comparison of all the sacraments before and after the changes made in the spirit of Vatican II. Every concerned Catholic should know exactly what we've lost. I highly recommend Dan's book. Only when we understand what's been lost can we be like the woman in the parable who sweeps her house looking for her lost coin and rejoicing when she finds it. Those of us who defend the faith of our fathers are also like the man who sold everything to buy the pearl of great price. When one has a treasure, he protects it. And that is what Archbishop Lefebvre did. Those of us who go to SSPX chapels love the faith, love the Church, and love the papacy. Read the encyclicals of Pope St. Pius X and then read those of Pope Francis to see the conflict. Will the real defender of the faith please stand up. Don't get lost in the weeds. Be at peace and soldier on.

The Conflict between Modernism and Tradition

by Daniel Graham

Let's Pray the Southern Poverty Fraud Center Gets What They Deserve!

Many of us have known for decades that the Southern Poverty Law Center is an evil, lying grifter group. Now we have the proof. Let us hope and pray they get dismantled and the fraudsters go to jail!

ICE is Removing Violent Criminals from Our Streets! Do Liberals Care about the 300,000 Missing Children?

Have you ever noticed that liberals have no sense of humor? They label ICE agents "masked thugs" and justify using violent force to interfere with their operations. They scream and yell at all their protests. They have no problem with invading churches or harassing and doxing anyone who disagrees with them. But take care! You better not ridicule the anarchists by laughing about their event being called "Operation Pull Up" as in diapers for toddlers.

Prepare for the Chastisement, Virginia. The Tyrants Reign!

Virginia elected the most evil slate in our history last November. Abigail Spanberger represents the farthest of the far left favoring abortion up to birth, enabling transgender "girls" the opportunity to rape and injure our daughters and granddaughters by allowing them in girls' bathrooms and locker rooms and to compete against them in sports, etc. You name a liberal cause, no matter how evil, and Spanberger supports it. Her Lieutenant governor is just as bad and Jay Jones, the Attorney General fantasizes about murdering his opponent and celebrating the death of his children. What a trio! And what does their election say about Virginia voters? Read the Old Testament about the infidelity of the Israelites and the condemnation of Yahweh. It's not a pretty picture.

I'm Ready to Secede -- Shenandoah County Should Just Say Yes to West Virginia's Proposal!

A West Virginia state senator, Chris Rose, is floating a proposal to invite 27 Virginia counties and several from Maryland to secede. I am so ready to join the great state of West Virginia! Now that would be a marriage made in heaven: the lovers of Virginia embracing the freedom-loving patriots of West Virginia! Not only that, my husband is a West Virginia boy and would love to call his birthplace home once again. Bring it on!

Biden's Hate Speech against Pro-Life, Pro-Family MAGA Americans Is Reaping Murder and Mayhem!

Democrats own the violence. 

Their hate-filled rhetoric inspired the shooter at the ballfield in Alexandria (2017) who almost killed Congressman Steve Scalise. It inspired attacks on conservatives at restaurants, movie theatres, gas stations and shopping malls. They enabled and encouraged the BLM/Antifa riots that decimated so many of our cities. And now we're seeing the fallout from The Joe Biden's continuous hate speech culminating in Philadelphia when he labeled half the country dangerous domestic terrorists who "threaten our democracy."

Be a Patiot: #WalkAway: What Better Day to do it than Independence Day?

Have you heard of the #WalkAway Movement to abandon liberalism? It's origin is linked to a homosexual hairdresser, Brandon Straka, in New York who has a Facebook page promoting the "unsilent minority." It began with his video:



Maybe this is a gift from the "God of surprises."

What Would Walker Percy Think?

Anyone who's followed this blog for awhile knows I love to read. I'm pretty eclectic in my choices. My book club is reading Ratzinger's
Spirit of the Liturgy and will move from there to Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. Thinking about the liturgy got me to pick up the Ottaviani Intervention and I also just finished re-reading Walker Percy's The Thanatos Syndrome which is fascinating, especially in view of the "thanatos culture" we live in.

After reading Percy's fiction, I picked up a book of his essays which contains an interview with Zoltan Abady-Nagy conducted shortly after Percy celebrated his 70th birthday, a milestone I reached myself a few months ago. One thing really struck me in the interview. Addressing the question of whether literature is more "cognitive" or "morally judgmental" Percy said this:

Who Really Cares about the Children of the Poor?

Wouldn't the Democrats say this child would
be better off if she were killed by abortion?

Democrats love to preen and puff out their feathers like a peacock on the make. They love the poor and those evil Republicans want them all to starve and freeze to death. Strange -- from a party that thinks killing tiny babies is not only a right but a positive good and favors killing them after birth if they manage to survive the first attack.

Crisis Magazine has a great article by Regis Nicoll about the hypocritical "party of the poor" and the obligations of government vs. local communities and churches.

Let's face it. Poverty is big business. Many bureaucrats who administer these programs make six-figure salaries. According to the GAO, BILLIONS of dollars in fraud happens EVERY YEAR in the government MEDICAID program. Fraud and embezzlement unfortunately are rampant. A lot of people enrich themselves off the poor!

Oh, I'm sure there are Democrats who truly care about the poor. But, I ask you, can you imagine Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid or Michelle Obama or Bill Clinton or Debbie Wasserman Schulz picking lice out of a poor child's hair or ladling soup at a shelter? If they were, it would be for the photo op. Click on the article below. The author hits the nail on the head.

Are These People Clueless or Malicious?

ABC Airs Promo for Shooting of Fictional President during Trump Interview

In view of REAL statements from liberals about blowing up the White House and killing President Trump, this is more than distasteful. It sounds like provocation. Liberalism is an evil philosophy where the end justifies the means. These people hate, not only Trump, but anyone who embraces the culture of life. Pray for them and then fight everything they stand for! You can start by boycotting specific companies like Southwest Airlines and Target -- American Eagle too who proudly supported the Women's March for abortion.
