Two Popes Who Saw the Problem: One in the Past, One in the Present

Pope Adrian VI, 1522-23

Anyone with eyes to see knows that the Catholic Church is in crisis. It's an unholy mess and, with the latest
Synod on Synodality, things are likely to get much worse. Just as the Vatican used previous synods and surveys to undermine the faith and attack Dogma and Sacred Tradition, the latest synod "listening sessions" will likely be used to further advance dissent and heresy. Already there are rumors about legitimizing contraception and further advancing homosexuality and even abortion. Check out the wolves among the synod "experts" who will be preparing the document for the next step in the synod process. 

No matter how this goes, don't lose heart, friends. God uses what Satan means for evil to bring about good, and what is happening is nothing new in the Church. 

Let's recall for a minute a 16th century pope who served only twenty months, Pope Adrian VI (January 9, 1522 - September 14, 1523). He was a reformer who eliminated many of the excesses of the corrupt Vatican which contributed to the Protestant revolt. He eliminated the balls and fetes, the plays and pomps and parties and all the luxuries infecting the Vatican court. He ate and dressed simply. His two objectives were to reform the curia and to fight the invasion of the Turks. He denounced clerical corruption through his legate at the Diet of Nuremberg in 1523 instructing him with these words:

The MSM's Hurricane Fearmongering Porn Has Consequences

Not what my chart indicated!

As a Floridian who's lived through countless hurricanes since the age of three here're a few tips for the next time a hurricane arrives. Keep in mind that people living in hurricane zones constantly plan updates to their homes to deflect damage should a hurricane directly hit their area. They also normally already have ample hurricane supplies on hand.

1 - THE PROBLEM 

The number one tip - almost always the first rule on every list of life - is never listen to the MSM's fearmongering porn. 

NIH Calling for Teenage Guinea Pigs! But No Boys Need Apply.

Hmmm.....don't boys go through puberty?

I got this postcard in the mail the other day. Hmm....enrolling girls only. Don't boys have brains? Don't they go through puberty? My suspicious mind immediately went to the big question -- WHAT ARE THEY REALLY AFTER? 

Here's the back side of the card. 

Why Aren't All the Bishops of Florida Calling for Prayer?

Why is only one Florida bishop calling for prayer as hurricane Ian hits Florida? And why isn't Governor DeSantis calling for prayer as well? He who calmed the sea and walked on water has the power to calm the storm. Let's stop looking to government for salvation. It ain't there. FEMA is not our help and safety!

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."

War on Women: First it was the war on babies in the womb...

....Then it was a war on fatherhood....Now it's a war on women. What is a woman anyway? And why does the culture hate us so much? The answer is simple. Women are the heart of the family and the family is the bedrock of a society. When the family is strong, a culture thrives; when the family is weak, government becomes the autocratic daddy. Destroying the family is a fundamental issue of Communism. Put women to work. Convince them that true dignity comes with a male boss, no kids, and a paycheck instead of a husband and babies. When women abandon the family and become the playthings of predatory men who want to rock and roll without responsibility, tyrants take over. Chaos reigns. Isn't that what we're seeing today? 

Guest Post: A Little Protestant Congregation Got Our Mass Back When Our Bishops Were Missing in Action!

Editor's Note: I offer another article by my friend Tom McFadden who identifies whom we can thank for the restoration of our Mass in Virginia during The Covid Games. Sad to say, it was not our two Catholic bishops. Bishop Burbidge and Bishop Knestout, along with all their brothers in the country cut, ran, and hunkered down in their respective residences when Caesar banned in-person religious services. Not so a few courageous Protestant pastors. Say a prayer of thanks for them today. That's where true ecumenism is -- joining with our Protestant friends to fight for the rights of people of faith and for the right to life and protection of the family from a godless, diabolical government.

It was a little Protestant Church's action that got Virginia’s Catholics their Mass back. It sued while Bishops surrendered our rights

When our bishops abandoned us, a little Protestant church in Chincoteague, VA
fought for the religious rights of all people of faith. God bless them!

The Ukraine Information Vacuum

...for instance Biden's current collusion with Ukraine's Neo-Nazis

 The following is from Western Media: How to Keep Silent and Write About Ukrainian Nazism (7/25/2022)

-"Nobody knows anything about Ukraine. yet everyone has ferocious opinions about it. The other night I shocked a distinguished Oxford academic by informing her that the lovely, angelic, saintly, perfect Ukrainians had blocked off the water supply to Crimea in 2014. She was rightly shocked by this nasty, uncivilized act of spite, but it was far more shocking that this highly educated person did not know this important fact." - Peter Hitchens

Guest Post: Thomas McFadden and More Wokeness in the Diocese of Arlington

God never created a baby He
didn't plan to care for!

My friend, Tom McFadden, offers insightful commentary on the latest woke activities in the Diocese of Arlington on global warming/climate change. I've lived long enough to see hand-wringing leftists proved entirely wrong again and again. Paul Ehrlich predicted in the 1960's that the world would be devastated before the end of the 20th century by a "population bomb" that turned out to be a dud. Did that destroy him as a prophet of doom? Of course not! The Vatican invited the evil pro-abortion bug scientist to participate in a conference on "biodiversity." The Church has become a huge part of the problem by embracing woke (and extremely profitable) positions that mirror the godless left.

Testimony of Young Woman Who Was "Almost Killed" by the Transgender Dr. Mengeles

There are monsters among us and many are wearing white lab coats pretending to be doctors. They long ago shredded the hippocratic oath to "first do no harm." They use intimidation and terror tactics to convince parents to enable them to mutilate their children. The testimony of Chloe Cole who began "transitioning" at 12 is heartbreaking. What a brave young woman to come forward now at the tender age of 18 to testify to the lies that damaged her and so many of our children. 

Think of the punishment imposed on Sodom and Gomorrah for their sins of lust. These murderers of innocence are calling down judgment on our country. Hold back the wrath of God by your commitment to the daily rosary and fasting. Our nation has become a magnet for an asteroid to destroy us.

Every American needs to hear Chloe Cole’s story.

What a courageous young woman! pic.twitter.com/FoBuSsREb2
