The Danger of "the Tumultuous Torrent of Fugitive Ideas"

Stop and think!

I always enjoy reading Chronicles magazine. The article I read today described divisions in the political right. It isn't just the Dems who reflect chaos these days. The author made the point that language is being used on both sides of the aisle "less as an instrument of reasoning" and more as a justification for "tribal loyalty" with premises that "remain unexamined" resulting in "impoverished discourse in which both factions retain an appetite for shock and awe but very little for restraint, calibration, or discovery."

Wow! Too true!

What author Chloe Mastour describes isn't just evident in political disagreements. It seems to be the default position today in many areas and is particularly evident on social media. Many adopt fixed and unchangeable positions. No amount of reasoned argument can touch them. And sometimes those with opposite views, are equally fixed and unchangeable. 

Ecumenism Rules: No Titles for Mary as Coredemptrix and Mediatrix

I double post these days because of Blogger's censorship. Check out my free Substack website.

I'm reading the recent document on the Blessed Mother released by the Vatican Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith. If you haven't heard of it yet, this document crushes the movement to declare Mary Coredemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces. How low that office has fallen under its new prefect, the scandalous Cardinal Fernandez of kissing fame. 

Obviously, my expectations were not high considering the source, and it immediately became apparent why the Queen of Heaven is getting short shrift. The second paragraph of the document makes it abundantly clear what drives the dicastery: "a particular ecumenical effort." 

The Winner in Yesterday's Elections? Karl Marx!

Readers can now see my posts on Substack which is friendlier than blogger. See this post there and please subscribe. A fellow member at Substack tells me they have never censored one of his posts. The B in Blogger stands for Bigot. If they dump me altogether, meet me at Substack.

Candidates who illustrate the assassination culture of the Democrat party swept Virginia yesterday. New York and New Jersey did no better. As for California, Gavin Newsom got the green light to gerrymander the state before the midterms to secure and maintain Democrat seats at the national, state and local levels. 

What now? 

From the "Just Gotta Laugh" File

Sometimes ya just gotta laugh. I'm concerned about the advance of Islam in the U.S., but this headline from July caught my eye:

Lesbian woman's outrage against Muslim immigrants in the U.S. goes viral after Pride parade ban.

Silly woman, are you so totally ignorant of Islam that you didn't know they execute homosexuals in many countries where they rule? Poor lady feels betrayed because she helped them get all the goodies paid for by the taxpayers and this is her reward. She will no doubt be happy when they crack down on Christians, but her alphabet allies? That's a horse of a rainbow color.

The Race is On! May all the polls showing it's close in Virginia prove wrong!

 Let the true patriots win.

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.
