The Effectiveness of the Vaccine Ain't All It's Cracked Up to Be! AND IT'S POISON!

Nichole Belland, Safeway Pharmacy Manager, quits over COVID vaccine administration.

In fact, the breakthrough cases are increasing the death rate among the "fully vaccinated" is rising:

As more ‘vaccines’ are injected into Americans’ arms, ‘breakthrough’ COVID cases are increasing

From the article:

A very important finding of the DOD study [Check it out; it's linked in the article.] that in itself deserved attention by mainstream media was that the one variable that explained substantial resistance to serious negative health impacts from breakthrough infections was natural immunity resulting from prior COVID infection. [If you've recovered from COVID, your immunity is gold! But the draconian tyrants will still try to give you the death jab.]

Archbishop Vigano Sums up Francis' Pontificate of Disunity, Division, and Scandal in One Paragraph

From the Remnant article:

THE STONES CRY OUT: Archbishop Viganò on Traditionis Custodes

After years of this pontificate, we have all understood that the reasons given by Bergoglio for declining a meeting with a Prelate, a politician or a conservative intellectual do not apply to the molester Cardinal, the heretic Bishop, the abortionist politician, or the globalist intellectual. In short, there is a blatant difference in behavior, from which one can grasp the partiality and partisanship of Francis in favor of any ideology, thought, project, scientific, artistic or literary expression that is not Catholic. Anything that even only vaguely evokes anything Catholic seems to arouse in the tenant of Santa Marta an aversion that is disconcerting to say the least, if only in virtue of the Throne on which he is seated.

Thought for the Day: Embrace it all, both the joys and the sufferings!

From the Soul of the Apostolate:

The truly interior soul abandons itself to the good pleasure of God, and accepts with the same patience and evenness of heart both what is pleasing and what brings pain: indeed, it goes so far as to be joyful under affliction, and happy to carry the Cross.

No one ever said it was going to be easy! A rose garden has beautiful flowers but every stem holding a bud is covered with sharp thorns. You can't pick those roses without getting an occasional sharp prick even to the point of drawing blood. 

Today or tomorrow or next week will be filled with all kinds of moments: kisses and hugs from loved ones, telephone conversations that bring good news (or bad), a comments of praise that please us or criticism that pains us, fleeting moments of insight, battles over temptations.... How will we respond? Will we "accept with the same patience and evenness of heart" both the good and the bad? Will we pick up the cross and follow Him?

Today I'm picking a rose for the Blessed Mother. I'm feeling the thorn to remind myself that beauty is often accompanied by pain. I'm asking Mary to help me ponder it all in my heart that I might know and love the "good pleasure of God."

May your day be filled with blessings. I'll be offering my Mass and rosary for you. Please pray for me as well. 

Don't Fool Yourself, Everybody has Faith in Something and Practices Religious Worship!

There's no such thing as an unbeliever. Everybody believes in something.

Some worship Mother Nature. Some wear their crystals and worship the moon, the stars, pagan goddesses, etc. Some worship money. As St. Paul says, some think of nothing but their bellies. One could say they worship their taste buds and their digestive system. Some actively worship Satan. Some worship Dr. Fauci. Have you seen all the ridiculous religious items being sold in his name? Wow! And then there are those who worship themselves. 

Pope Francis and His Fruits: Described by an 18th Century Jesuit Confrere!

As my mom used to say: "You can know a person by his friends and the company he keeps."

As I've written in the past, I read excerpts every day from the Imitation of Christ and the Imitation of Mary. Today, as I read from Book 1, Chapter 15 in Im. of Mary, I recognized Pope Francis in Fr. Alexander de Rouville's description. but first I noted my own obligation as a follower of Christ:

God has given us the means of knowing what He has revealed; once revelation is certain, then accursed be even an angel (Gal1,8) if he suggests to me the contrary of what revelation teaches me.

Jorge Bergoglio, S.J. and the Destruction of the Roman Catholic Church

Identical Ideological Twins,
i.e., identical in mind and actions
Jorge Bergoglio, SJ, left
Pedro Arrupe SJ, right

On October 11, 2019, I posted this on Les Femmes. I'll use part of that post in this one but with a more bitter twist since, in the two years since then, things have gotten even worse than expected with Jorge Bergoglio's scorched earth policies.

The plan of the Modernist Vatican II Church to destroy the Ancient Rite of the Mass, and therefore Traditional Catholic belief,  has been known for decades, but now we have Bergoglio's Traditionis Custodes to put a stranglehold on all things actually Catholic, not because Francis is trying to guide the Church but because he's trying to utterly destroy her. To the ground. Into dust. 

This fact can be discovered on pages 119-120 in Romano Amerio's brilliant Iota Unum. Below is a snippet from Chapter V, 55, The Post-Conciliar Period:

...but if the Church should die to itself and break with its past so as to rise as a new creature, the past is not something that should be appropriated and lived out, but something from which one should detach oneself and then repudiate; and reverence and respect for it will thus vanish. The words respect and reverence include the idea of looking backward, for which there is no room in a Church projected towards the future, a Church which sees the destruction of its past as a condition of its own rebirth.

Book Review: Medjugorje Complete by Donal Anthony Foley

Medjugorje Complete: the Definitive Account of the Visions and Visionaries    

 by Donal Anthony Foley

Published 2021 by Angelico Press

Brooklyn, New York 

Donal Foley has been studying Marian apparitions for decades and has two published books on the Medjugorje phenomena. His current work, Medjugorje Complete: the Definitive Account of the Visons and Visionaries, is an expanded version of his earlier works. Extensively documented with hundreds of end notes, a bibliography, and an index, Foley offers a detailed analysis of Medjugorje, comparing and contrasting it to approved apparitions. Foley is fair in his approach letting both critics and supporters defend their positions. In the process, he builds a persuasive argument against the authenticity of the apparitions by contrasting them to Lourdes, Fatima, LaSalette, and other Marian events fully approved by the Church. 

Sunday Meditation: Are You Going Down to Jericho, the City of Sin, or to Jerusalem, the City of God?

El Greco emphasizes that Jericho is the city of sin. This image crops out a bare-breasted woman,
perhaps a harlot being led by a young man. Note in the background what appears to be a seduction and the contempt of the people on the right. You can almost hear them saying, “He consorts with sinners!”

The homily at Mass today delved into the symbolic meaning of Jesus’ meeting with Bartimaeus the blind man. The Fathers of the Church say we should always consider the literal meaning of scripture first, and there’s no reason to doubt that Bartimaeus was a real person sitting on the side of the road. He had no doubt heard all the stories about Jesus and clearly believed, unlike many of the Jews, that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of David, prophesied in the Holy Books. And so he called out to Jesus when he heard he was passing by going up to Jerusalem, the city of God. Bartimaeus confirmed his belief in Jesus as Messiah, the “Son of David when “he called out in a loud voice,”  “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Will the real Dr.Death please stand up.

Back in the day there was a quiz show called To Tell the Truth. The panel was presented with three contestants each claiming to be a particular person. It might be someone with an unusual occupation or some unique experience. The panel would guess at the end and then the host would say, “Will the real… please stand up.”

Today I present two men addressed as “Doctor.” One, Jack Kevorkian, went around the country killing people with his euthanasia machine. Ultimately he went to prison for what is now legal - physician assisted suicide. He killed hundreds many of whom he knew absolutely nothing about except they could help him advance his agenda of killing. He didn’t try to help them recover hope, he encouraged their despair and enthusiastically fulfilled their death wish. Kevorkian spent eight years in prison and was released only after promising not to kill any more people. Needless to say, the man never chose death for himself. He died in God’s good time to meet his Judgment.
