"It's My Job." Government and its Immoral Orders!

Anybody wonder how things happened the way they did in Nazi Germany? People just following orders. Read this article and the statement of the ranger dragged into Nevada from out of state to persecute Clive Bundy and his family for daring to graze their cattle on public land, a practice in their family since the 1880s. The family pays land use fees to the county, but the Bureau of Land Management says they owe over a million dollars to the feds. Hey, if they want the land it's their land!

Can anyone explain to me how the feds have the right to just scoop of state lands all over the country and declare it federalized? If the EPA sees a puddle on your property they can declare it a wetland. If a snail darter is found in your pond or a kangaroo rat in your field, you can lose any right to use your property as you wish. If the government decides

This is the "Tolerance" of Homosexual Hate Groups!

If you're a Christian and you dare to say that some types of behavior are wrong, don't try to get into Canada! Watch out, America. This is what homosexual activists want in our country as well!

Think the Media Will Report These Words of Pope Francis?

Pope Francis calls abortion an "abominable crime."

Probably not - since it doesn't fit their narrative.

Fed Snipers Threaten Cattle Rancher

Good morning, Amerika!

The feds are out protecting your rights today by closing 600,000 acres of land used by rancher Clive Bundy and his family since the early 1800s to graze his cattle. The farmer has been paying land use fees to the local Nevada county, but the Bureau of Land Management has stepped in (claiming to protect an "endangered turtle" - which has apparently been able to survive for a few hundred years without them) and wants fees paid to the fed. To enforce their new assault on the state of Nevada and the farmer they have snipers, helicopters, and hundreds of armed agents targeting the unarmed family for daring to graze their cattle on the snatched property.

Remember when cattle rustlin' was a hanging offense? Not if it's the feds of Amerika. Hey, you sell raw milk they'll invade your store and smash all the bottles on your shelves. You dare to be different or politically incorrect, prepare for a home invasion. This is scary! God help the Bundy family. And get the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) thugs out of Nevada!

Wake up, Amerika. Maybe you're sleeping because the feds haven't targeted you....not yet anyway.





Will this end up like Ruby Ridge?

Two Thumbs Up for Fr. Roos in the Diocese of Arlington

US: Catholic church fires ‘gifted’ gay musician for marrying his partner

Someone in a position of prominence in a Catholic parish cannot be publicly thumbing his nose at the Church without causing serious scandal. No matter how gifted a musician is, if he is living a disordered life that causes scandal he (or she) must be removed. It would be the same for a teacher in a Catholic school living in fornication with her boyfriend. We're all sinners, but you cannot profess to be living an authentic Catholic life while flaunting Church teaching.

Good for Fr. Roos. He deserves our public thanks. Pray for Mike McMahon. There is no such thing as same-sex "marriage." No matter how much you want to play let's pretend, two men do not have the body parts to unite and pro-create. They can only play in each feces which most of us outgrew when we shed our diapers. It is a sad day that our world has accepted as normal something so diseased and distorted. God, our Father, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Liturgical Aberrations Teach...And What They Teach is Wrong!

I recently had a phone conversation with a fellow parishioners who is going to Germany to visit with her daughter and family. In the course of our exchange she said, "It's interesting. They do things so differently at the Church there," and went on to mention a few innocuous items. Then she said, "At Communion the priest invites everyone up to make a semicircle around him and then distributes the hosts and they all take Communion together." I almost dropped the phone.

The first thing I thought of when she told me this was, "Who receives Communion that way?"

Here's the answer:

Concelebrating priests receive the Eucharist from the main celebrant BEFORE he receives and they all Communicate together. 

So what does it say when a priest does what my friend described? It treats the laity as concelebrating ministers of the Eucharist which is fundamentally dishonest and confusing. It also removes their right to receive on the tongue which is the preferred form of reception. 

Pray for shepherds who scandalize the flock. The German Church is a mess as the divorced/Communion debate is illustrating.

Jesus said clearly that those who are faithful in small things will be faithful in greater. I'm not sure how small the liturgical abuse described is frankly. It sounds pretty serious to me. But, isn't it interesting that priests are often telling Catholics to conform to their own particular idiosyncrasies, like standing after Communion until everyone returns to the pew (real consideration for the elderly, eh?), while laity who refuse to conform to priestly browbeathing are anathemized and called lacking in humility. My take on it? Shepherd, heal thyself!

Not Again! This Is Too Close for Comfort!

20 Injured in Stabbings at Pittsburgh Area High School

Since we have a granddaughter at Pittsburgh area high school, my heart skipped a beat when I saw this headline. Thank God it wasn't her school, but that's no relief for all the kids and parents whose children do attend that school. Will we now hear demands for "knife control?"

Let's face it, the problem is interior. We live in a country where God is publicly ridiculed and excluded from our schools and other institutions. We elevate the worship of false Gods in the military and everywhere else, for that matter. Christians are accused of being domestic terrorists while Islam that calls for murder of infidels is described as a "religion of peace." 

It's enough to make anybody insane!  So is it really surprising to see muggings, bombings, shootings, knifings, flash mob robberies, police brutality, etc., etc. on a daily basis? After all, when God is ousted, every man becomes his own god. And gods have a right to do what they want, capisce?

Isn't it time to declare a national day of prayer and atonement? We'll never get it from this godless administration, but that can't keep us from making it personally. Let Good Friday be our personal day of prayer and atonement for our poor country. My growing up years were certainly not problem free (A pervert exposed himself to me when I was eleven or twelve.), but compared to today I was living in the era of innocence and peace.

Home schooling just looks better and better!

When Will Rogue Priests Be Disciplined? Not Likely in San Bernardino!

LGBT retreat not about changing

From the article:

[Fr.] Kavcak, a priest of Missionaries of the Sacred Heart. was once the pastor at Our Lady of Solitude in Palm Springs and is now pastor at neighboring Saint Theresa Church where the retreat will be held. Father Kavcak rented Our Lady of Solitude Church for at least two full days to Hollywood producer, Jerry Weintraub, so that church scenes could be filmed in the movie Behind the Candelabra, a gay men’s sordid love story involving Liberace in his late 50s and a young teenage guy.

Send a message to Bishop Gerald Barnes. Don't expect much since he approved the lewd movie event. But, hey, people can change, even bishops, and they sure don't like bad publicity. So make sure to advertise this far and wide! Unfortunately, Bishop Barnes has a history of homosexual promotion. Check it out here. Pray for bishops. In large part, they are a big part of what's wrong with the Church in the U.S. They sleep with the Democrats who hate God and the Church. Many endorse all things Democrat. They tell Catholics to obey the law (like Barnes endorsing Obamacare) while they champion illegal aliens breaking our laws. They endorse injustice against citizens demanding that those who invade our borders aren't really guilty of crimes. They call government theft "charity" while our country is being undermined and our values destroyed.

God save us from bishops who often live in luxury (go here, and here, and here) on the donations of the middle class in the pews while their flocks grow increasingly poorer because of big government liberalism. Shame on them and their hypocrisy!
