Advice for Election Day Tomorrow!


Censorship is Alive and Well

Well, the gurus at this platform got me again for two articles which were removed. One was about the Church and Twilight Zone. Was it this photo that initiated the censorship?


Or was it the commentary about the insanity in the German Church? Who knows? They never tell you, just drop the curtain over your posts.

If you read Blogger's guidelines, they can censor anything at all no matter how truthful, non-violent, and accurate it is. You can read their guideline policy here and note that they can turn anything into "hate speech" or "misleading content." 

This particular post got a lot of viewers coming from Canon212 which may have triggered the censorship. Did some readers of a certain persuasion complain? I'm sure they found it offensive. God forbid that we should tell the truth about intrinsic moral evils that endanger the souls of those who engage in such sins.

FreeRepublic posted the article here, so it's still on the internet. I wish I were more tech savvy. I'd switch to a different platform. I've started using substack, but things don't post the same way and I haven't learned how to use it as easily as I could use blogger. I'm one of those old dogs who has a hard time learning new tricks. 

We'll see if this post stays up. Meanwhile, anyone coming from Canon 212 or any other site that linked to the ariticle will get a not found message. 

I'd appreciate a few prayers that I can continue this little writing apostolate if it is pleasing to God and helpful to those trying to practice the faith according to the will of God.

May Jesus Christ be praised!

Is Pope Leo Francis II? The Papal Posse Addresses Tough Questions!


The Prayerful Posse offers a clear response to the confusion in the Church. I always find their discussions well reasoned, calm, and charitable. What a blessing in today's hysterical world! If you want out of the weeds of confusion, they can help.

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.

Catholic Lite?

Lite foods may be fine for dieters, but does lite spiritual food really nourish the soul? Today being All Saints Day, my husband and I went to the early low Mass at the Linden Chapel. Yesterday I asked someone what time they were going to Mass on the "Holy Day of Obligation." She reminded me that it isn't a holy day because the feast fell on a Saturday and when they fall on Saturdays or Mondays the obligation is lifted.

"Gone for the Day!" A Primer on Staying Close to Your Beloved Esposa!

Reading the Epoch Times is always an adventure. I come across many excellent articles and often clip them to send to family members. This morning the article that caught my eye was advice to parents of children not to let their family responsibilities prevent working on their couple relationship. I sent it to a granddaughter who is expecting her second little one. They are in the busy-busy days of married life.

She and her husband are blessed to live near both of their families and there are abundant baby sitters who would love cuddling the little ones. I never had that. Both sets of parents were too far away to be very helpful. We were pretty much on our own and since I was raised in a frequently moving Navy family I had no local support group. We gradually developed one through Christian Family Movement and church, but that's not the same as family.

How Do You Spread the Kingdom of Christ?

I spent years focused on pro-life volunteering. For about twenty years I sidewalk counseled almost every week at an Alexandria abortion business located right next to Bishop Ireton High School within a stone's throw of the Eucharist. The other place I counseled for years was in Falls Church within a stone's throw of the Eucharist at St. James. Sad to say both of these Catholic locales adopted the strategy of the three monkeys. Don't look at the abortion facility, don't listen to the silent screams of the babies murdered, and say nothing. Just keep out of it following a strategy of appeasement.

Are the Skies Friendly (and Safe) During the Schumer Shutdown with Unpaid Air Traffic Controllers?


Larry and I don't fly for the most part. Last time in the air we traveled to Texas for a granddaughter's wedding. We'd making that trip by car, but were just too tired and decided it was fly or miss the event. It was beautiful and we were glad we went. That darling granddaughter is now expecting a little girl, her second baby after a sweet little boy, two of our precious grandchildren.
