"The Abomination of Desolation...has sullied the holiness of the Jubilee Year."

Bishop Athanasius Schneider minced no words in calling out the scandal of the LGBTQ "pilgrimage" to Rome to celebrate lust in the holiest of places. Read Diane Montagna's article and make reparation through prayer and sacrifice.

“Spiritual Criminals and Murderers of Souls”: Bishop Athanasius Schneider responds to Vatican-sanctioned “LGBTQ+” Jubilee Pilgrimage

Flee the Cities and Experience Authentic Culture

Main and Court St. Woodstock, VA

What do I mean when I use the term "authentic culture?" It's pretty easy to explain. It means friendship, community, and shared life. Many times we experience that kind of community in our churches, although even there, some are so large you know only a fraction of the members who attend. But what about the secular community?

When I lived in Alexandria, I knew my neighbors. We lived on Lisbon Lane for almost thirty years and we had a number of neighborhood picnics and other events that helped us get to know one another. So we can all experience community on a small scale even in highly populated areas.

But after we moved to Woodstock, community and culture took on a much more personal aspect. We got to know more people in the community whom we see on many occasions: at the polls, at the grocery store, at the post office, at the ice cream parlor and restaurants. That rarely happened in Alexandria.

The Prayerful Posse is Always Worth a Listen! On James Martin, the LGBTQ Pilgrimage, etc.

 

Sunday Meditation: Don't Let the Priest Pirates Steal the Treasures of the Church!

Pirate in priest's clothing.

Today at our SSPX chapel in Linden, VA we celebrated the Feast of St. Pius X from September 3rd in the traditional calendar. As patron saint of the Society, that was appropriate. St. Pius X certainly represents a man for our season in the Church when modernism has perverted so many Catholics and is bringing many to the brink of hell.

In his encyclical Pascendi, Pius X called modernism the "synthesis of all heresies." Compared to the numerous documents by Francis he was concise, describing modernism and its errors in only 57 paragraphs. Compare that to the long-winded documents by Francis filled with ambiguity, confusion, and error: Amoris Laetitia -- 325, Laudato si -- 246, Fratelli Tutti -- 287, Querida Amazonia -- 111,  Christus Vivit -- 299, etc.

Is a Red Hat in the Future for Sodomy-Promoting Fr. James Martin?

Seems likely these days. Pope Leo seems to have enthusiastically embraced the Francis legacy of LGBTQ promotion. Not a good sign that's for sure.

Pope Leo, Fr. James Martin, and Transgenderism

Is it time to take the "black pill" as Crisis Magazine is asking. Is Pope Leo just Francis 2?  The answer is -- Maybe! 

We need to face reality about the possibility that the Vatican is pursuing the same evil agenda as Francis. Is the worst case scenario likely?  Seems so The early signs aren't encouraging. Was the meeting with Martin "unbelievably scandalous?" Absolutely! Especially immediately following the shooting in Minnesota. The meeting certainly wasn't a response to the killing. It was likely planned for months. But...The Vatican provided a photographer for the meeting and allowed the publication of the photos. The visual is disastrous! If the Vatican does nothing to correct Martin, we can reasonably assume that the pope approves of the spin Martin is putting on the meeting. The focus became the transgender shooter rather than the two children tragically murdered by the disturbed, probably possessed shooter.

Are We Training AI or Is AI Training Us?

Artificial Intelligence, the stuff of science fiction only a few decades ago, will likely be an increasing element in the lives of our children and grandchildren. Things only dreamed of in cartoons like the Jetsons fill the news. I recently read an article about a traveler in Phoenix riding around in a taxi with no human driver. The thought of sitting in the back seat behind the invisible "man" at the wheel makes me dizzy. 

Feeling Disoriented? Embrace the Fullness of the Faith!

Most readers probably recognize the aviation event called spatial disorientation. It occurs when the pilot's senses don't agree with the physical reality of the plane's motion and its relation to the ground. The pilot can't tell up from down or whether the plane is flying level or in a turn. A number of airline fatalities are directly related to spatial disorientation. Certain things exacerbate the problem, for example alcohol and some drugs including anti-depressants, anti-histamines, and some pain relievers (not to mention illegal drugs). 

Why do I bring this up? Because I think this elucidates the term diabolical disorientation. Many people today are living in an upside down world that they insist is right side up. They are often flying blind like the pilate who enters a cloud losing all contact with visual cues. That's when instrument flying becomes crucial. And if you don't have and use the instruments, you're headed for a crash.

The Ten Commandments covers it all!

I was fascinated to come across Carl Sanburg's comparison to life as an onion. It's interesting from the perspective of self examination to continually ask the questions, "Who am I?" and "How does God see me?" The nearer I draw to Him, the more I will know myself.

I'm reading the section in the Catechism of the Council of Trent on the Ten Commandments. It pretty much encompasses and summarizes the entire law of God which Jesus further expounded on in His sermons. The fifth commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," rendered more accurately as "Thou shalt not murder." also forbids hatred and acts that injure others or oneself. As Jesus says:
