Sunday Meditation: "Wickedness in the High Places"

I came across the phrase "wickedness in the high places" this morning while I was reading the meditation for the day in Benedictus. We're certainly seeing plenty of that these days. Earlier this week I blogged about the queer Mass in Germany aired on the diocesan website. The "presider" priest may not occupy a high place in the diocese, but his bishop does. And that Mass was, indeed, wicked and scandalous. 

From the Twilight Zone: Many Democrats Call it Home!

Would any normal person do what's described in the article below? Are Democrats aliens in disguise trying to destroy our children?

No Communion for Obstinate Public Sinners!

MP Chris Coughlin banned from Communion

A Single Denial to Give Communion That Echoed Around the World

It's canon law -- 915 to be exact. And yet it is almost never enacted against politicians who champion abortion, euthanasia, and other intrinsic moral evils often while announcing their Catholic faith and describing themselves as "devout". Talk about scandal!

Archbishop Cordileone banned Nancy Pelosi from communion in 2022. [Letter to Pelosi] His action was undermined by Pope Francis who bragged that he never denies communion to anyone. (Presumably he would have given communion to a mafia don after he shot an enemy during Mass.) Nancy received communion at the Vatican after the ban. Was anyone surprised?

A Message from Church Militant, But Don't Look for it On Their Website!

UPDATE: The statement is now linked on the home page. Christine Niles has also released a video about her own resignation. Michael Voris' has released a video on X. In the midst of all this, Simon Rafe has sent out a message asking for...guess what...more money. As long as Simon, author of the Darknight game, is involved with CM, I'm outta there. Keep everyone in prayer, but spend your money wisely on apostolates that are really saving souls.

Michael Voris is out at Church Militant for "breaching the....morality clause.

Editor's note: Michael Voris, founder of Church Militant and chief scandal monger has resigned over "morality issues." Regular readers are aware of our longstanding concerns over Church Militant, their dishonesty and tabloid journalism.

Scholastic Pushes Porn and Perversion on Kids! Time for Real Bankruptcy to "Reward" their Moral Bankrupty!

Caving to Leftist Pressure, Scholastic Plans to Import the LGBT Agenda to Every School in America (I've included a few photos in this post from Scholastic's gay offerings. Great for pervert story hours.)

I used to love Scholastic when my kids were in elementary school. I loved the book fairs and went over the order forms with the children to help them pick out books before it started. I often went and bought books myself. The school benefitted and so did our young readers. 

How sad it is to see Scholastic join the scandal mongers to push porn and perversion on children hardly out of the playpen. How did this all happen so fast? How could a small percentage of the population, originally miniscule, gain so much power that they are now perverting more and more kids, especially girls?

Simon Rafe: You have a "moral duty" to support the grifters at Church Militant if you "use our product."

Sometimes I can't help uttering a guffaw when I get an email telling me about CM's latest comedy show and go to check it out. These days I rarely waste two seconds at CM in six months, but today I watched Simon Rafe's lecture to viewers (on the donation page, of course). His message? Pony up, you Catholic deadbeats!

A Spot On Comment about Church Militant and their Scandal Porn

Mary Magdalene, the Repentant Sinner

Editor's Note: The comment below from Andrew Dunn was left on yesterday's post about Church Militant and the SSPX. It is so spot on it deserves to be featured. Have you ever noticed that most of Church Militant's non-scandalous content is behind a pay wall for "premium subscribers." Their bread and butter and click bait is salacious scandal. Do great evils need to be exposed? Yes. But take a look at The Remnant, Catholic Family News, LifeSiteNews, and other mature Catholic media  and compare the difference in the way things are covered. God bless Andrew for posting this insightful comment.

"Church Militant," and I put their name in quotes because their name is so inappropriate, is basically a porn website when you analyze their content, their go-to-market strategy and the way they stay in business. How?

Sunday Meditation: Parents, protect your children!

It pains me to say it, but I'm appalled at the number of parents who have lost their minds. Transgender story hours can only happen because "woke" parents subject their children to perverts some of whom are convicted molesters. Why are you surprised, parents, as these psychologically damaged individuals teach your babies to twerk and simulate sex?

Church Militant and their Crusade against the SSPX

Who exactly is the target of the Church Militant crusaders?

The negative reactions to Susan's post, Snow White and Priest Charming - A Modern Tale of Female Vindictiveness, are starting to appear in the combox moderation list. I haven't decided which ones, if any, I'm willing to post. Certainly not the one using the F-word and calling Susan a bitch.

Will the Real Catholics Please Stand Up!

Our millstone award goes to the Catholic
Press Association and the fishwrap!

Anyone reading this blog for awhile knows that we consider Catholic Charities, Catholic Relief Services, and the Catholic Campaign for Human Development unworthy of any support from Catholics in the pews. If you want your money  to support abortion, contraception, and Marxist community organizing just toss it in the basket for those bogus Catholic collections. (Better to burn it!) But they aren't the only groups masquerading as Catholic while undermining the faith! There are plenty of others.

This Tells You All You Need to Know about the Apostolic Nuncio, Christophe Pierre...

US Representative of Pope Francis to Participate in Assembly of Heretical Priests

Yup! This tells you all you need to know about the nuncio. It also is one more indication of where Pope Francis stands who chose this man for our poor country. Archbishop Pierre received all the details about AUSCP's heresy (Association of U.S. Catholic Priests) several months ago. They promote married priests, women priests, priestless parishes run by laity, promotion of the LGBT agenda, etc. ad nauseum. Don't just trust the Lepanto Institute; check out their own website. Do you think the nuncio is ignorant of all this? If he is, he's irresponsible and unfit for his post. If he isn't ignorant, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing and unfit for his post.

Cooperating with Evil is a Sin -- Especially When You're Wearing a Roman Collar!

Is this wolf in sheep's skin
wearing a roman collar?

My colleague Janet at Restore DC Catholicism posted a great video on the nine ways individuals participate in the sins of others. Cooperation with evil is, in fact, evil.

You don't have to commit a murder to be a party to it. The boyfriend who urges and pays for his girlfriend's abortion is every bit as guilty of killing their baby (perhaps more so) as the mother who agrees to it. The nurse who neglects a patient at the order of a doctor, participates in the death that follows. All those silent staff members complicit in the starvation and dehydration of Terri Schiavo were cooperators in her deliberate murder including Bishop Lynch of St. Petersburg, FL who aided and abetted it using his bully pulpit to endorse it. In 2007 when Lynch retired, Bobby Schindler wrote an open letter decrying the bishop's support for Terri's euthanasia saying, "When bishops don't do their job, innocent people die."

Thought for Monday from Fr. Tom: Do Hormones Rule?

"Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at Boston Public Library!
Hey, scandalize our kids with our tax dollars!

As long as a person gives higher priority to his hormonal orientation than to sacred discipline offered by God’s call to holiness, a compulsive urge to embrace the agenda of the Culture of Desecration and Death will dominate his life.

Witness how blasphemy, lust, greed, vulgarity, vitriol and violence have become normalized, and even normative, in the lives of those who allege that the arousal and appeasement of resentments and addictions should be the norm for authentic freedom.

Fr. Tom Collins

And as evidence that lust and vulgarity "have become normalized," check out the Boston Public Library's insanity. The library inflicted on children the perverted group, the "sisters of perpetual indulgence", i.e., drag queens who mock the Catholic Church, to read stories to preschoolers. Here's the announcement published by the library:

Peritus Gregory Baum Comes Out as Proud Sodomite and Adulterer

Do you ever wonder how we got in the mess we're in?

Gregory Baum was ahead of his time making the mess Pope Francis advocates. Isn't it consoling to know that such a man was among the "periti," (the experts) advising the Cardinals and bishops and helping to write the documents of the council?

Pray for the Church and study her doctrines so you won't be misled by the "mess" of pottage being stirred up in Rome. The teachings of the Church as they came to us from the apostles and have been reaffirmed throughout the ages continue to be our guides. Cling to your birthright and discern the spirit of evil, the "smoke of Satan" that has infiltrated the Church.

The War on Children: Get to Know the Global Perverts -- Planned Parenthood, USAID, and UNFPA

It would be better to have a millstone hung round your neck and
be cast into the sea than to scandalize one of these little ones.

Go to Mercator.Net to watch a documentary about the war on children by Planned Parenthood, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the U.N. Population Fund (previously known as the U.N. Fund for Population Activities), and other groups promoting the sexualization of children. These sex abusers infiltrate schools, health organizations, government programs, and even churches all over the world. Parents, YOU must be the gatekeepers protecting your children! Early sexual experimentation hurts children! The younger they are, the more they are traumatized and the earlier they engage in risky behavior that can damage them  physically emotionally and spiritually. Don't let it happen to your children!

Tell Us Something We Don't Know, Pope Emeritus Benedict.

Pope Emeritus Benedict breaks silence: speaks of ‘deep crisis’ facing Church post-Vatican II

Two big problems according to the former pope:

1) People go to hell, (Somebody tell Bishop Robert Barron!) but modern Catholics have lost the sense of sin and the necessity of baptism for salvation. "Without this attentiveness to salvation, the Faith loses its foundation," Pope Benedict says. 

2) Because of the "evolution" of the dogma, "Outside the Church there is no salvation," which has essentially been dumped since Vatican II, the Church has lost its missionary zeal. In Pope Benedict's words, “any motivation for a future missionary commitment was removed.” (Amen to that. I'm okay; you're okay; we're all okay!)

Do You Know What Your Kids are Learning in Public School?

If you love your kids, you'd better be on top of this!

Why You Should Avoid Sending Kids to Public Schools

Maybe all public schools aren't this bad, but I know that back in the 70s Fairfax County's sex ed program was anti-parent, explicit, and gave kids permission to have sex as young as middle school. "Just don't change sexual partners too frequently." I can only imagine what they teach now 40 years later. 

Everybody can't home school, let's face it. And how many families, especially large Catholic families can afford Catholic schools these days? Maybe it's time for a return to the "dame schools." And aren't there some retired folks out there who can offer to help tutor kids in math, science, foreign languages, and other skills that home schooling parents may lack?

There's always an alternative when innocents' souls are at stake!

Thank God for a Sensible Bishop: Two Thumbs Up for Bishop Barber!

Oakland's Bishop Barber defends personal-conduct standards for Catholic-school teachers

Now why would Catholic school teachers not expect to be held accountable if they commit public scandal? Hello! And for more on this good bishop go here. He recently removed an openly homosexual priest from the Berkley campus parish. High time a bishop took his duty to protect young people seriously.

 A big thank you to Bishop Barber!

Catholic Scouts of St. George: A Brilliant Idea

It's time for Catholics to exit the Boy Scouts. Bringing in homosexual boys (i.e., adolescents brainwashed into the "gay" mindset) is just the preliminary step to the gay takeover of scouting at all levels. After all, what possible objection can the national board have to making a graduating homosexual eagle scout a troop leader? It's a no-brainer. The first home-run is the game winner! And they had all the bases loaded when they smashed it in. That the battle isn't over was illustrated clearly in a May 23rd article in the New York Times which began, "For Carol Clayton, the battle over gays in the Boy Scouts did not end on Thursday. Until gay members can serve as troop leaders — not only as scouts — she sees a human rights violation."

I have to give the cultural termites credit.
