Boy Scouts of America is changing its name to Scouting America. The organization founded in 1910 saw its membership fall from two million in 2019 to well under one million in 2021. The reason Latin Mass churches have many more altar boys than New Order churches is because a distinction between boys and girls is maintained and the latter let girls become altar boys. Adults, including teachers, want to manipulate children, turn them into robots, and replicate themselves, and that is fatal. My students are autonomous boys.

I present a radio play from 1950, "Mars Is Heaven," by science fiction writer Ray Bradbury. If you can get past Richfield Oil commercials (sponsor), the story is actually pretty good. His name: John Black. Reality is altered. Was Paul VI (1897-1978) blackmailed? Now I know who started retiring priests.
Conformity is the process whereby people change their beliefs, attitudes, actions, or perceptions to more closely match those held by groups to which they belong or want to belong or by groups whose approval they desire.

Detective Sergeant Matthew Scutti testifies at the trial of a man accused of killing his six-year-old son. Scutti describes the autopsy pictures taken by the officers. Only one picture of the body is shown, but his testimony is graphic. I want you to see what actually happens. I was called once to testify in my capacity as a patrol officer. On the morning I arrived, the assistant DA told me a plea deal had been reached, so I was released. I served on four juries and was dismissed once during voir dire, probably because of my background. The killing occurred in April 2021; the trial is now. Justice is slow. May 6, 2024 “...As we discuss the dangers of false authority and misplaced obedience, it is important to note that the laity in the Church do not exist for the sake of the clergy in the Church. The clergy exist to provide the sacraments necessary for salvation to the laity. The paramount concern of all clergy should always, ALWAYS, be the salvation of the souls entrusted to them...” https://cforc.com/2024/05/bishop-joseph-stricklands-letter-just-following-orders/ Strickland elevates me. Jesuits Reese and Francis exist to bring us the sacraments, not publicly admonish the faithful, and they are most certainly not saints to be listened to or emulated. I'm not speaking of dissenters when I say that I have high regard for nonconformist priests. Christ, the reigning example, rebuffed the Pharisees and civil authority. Therefore, rebuffing authority when it grasps falsehoods is legitimate. I'd like the TLM community to be nonconformist. Nonconformity is an interior disposition, having nothing to do with how you comb your hair but everything to do with good manners. I see only one man with a hand on the altar, and it's his right hand. A priest can say Mass by himself with Christ when no one else is present. Check out the Council of Trent documents in the previous post. Concelebration, a fallacious, 1960s interlude, is not the same as priest, deacon, and subdeacon. I talk like I'm an expert. Not so. A lot of this comes out of reading and observing. artist: Fra Angelico
“Since my critics often accuse me of heresy, before I go further, let me affirm that I believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. I just don’t believe in transubstantiation because I don’t believe in prime matter, substantial forms and accidents that are part of Aristotelian metaphysics.” Thomas J. Reese, SJ “The Eucharist is about More than the Real Presence”, National Catholic Reporter, Jan. 31, 2023.
Reese makes a variety of other outrageous assertions in the article. Outside the confessional, who is he to tell me what to believe or how to live? With the exception of the Francis addition declaring capital punishment immoral, the catechism is my guide. The Baltimore is the easiest. Reese was in formation when he was teaching at my high school. He was an attention-seeker, and some boys flocked around him. My rank was 33rd of 250. Nevertheless, my wits let me know when a trickster came into view. Now I know he is anathema. In the New Testament an anathema is a person or thing condemned by God. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema. 9 As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema. Reese went on to say: “Thomas Aquinas used Aristotelianism, the avant-garde philosophy of his time, to explain the Eucharist to his generation. What worked in the 13th century will not work today. If he were alive today, he would not use Aristotelianism because nobody grasps it in the 21st century.” What an unbelievably condescending thing to say to us, but his aim is not to talk down to us. The political animal based in D.C. wants to keep the perks of an easy life. Council of Trent “If anyone denies that in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist there are truly, really, and substantially contained the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore the whole Christ, but shall say that He is in it as by a sign or figure, or force, let him be anathema. “If anyone says that in the sacred and holy sacrament of the Eucharist there remains the substance of bread and wine together with the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, and denies that wonderful and singular conversion of the whole substance of the bread into the body, and of the entire substance of the wine into the blood, the species of the bread and wine only remaining, a change which the Catholic Church most fittingly calls transubstantiation: let him be anathema. (Council of Trent, Session 13, Chapter 4 and Canons 1 and 2; Denz. 877, 883-884.) https://novusordowatch.org/2023/02/jesuit-tom-reese-denies-transubstantiation/ Reese asserted in the same rag (National Catholic Reporter) that climate change is the "No. 1 pro-life issue" facing the Catholic Church today.

Title: Christ Embracing St. Bernard Artist: Francesc Ribalta 1565-1628 Date: between 1625 and 1627 Collection: Museo del Prado Bernard of Clairvaux, O. Cist., (1090-1153) was an abbot, mystic, and co-founder with Hugues de Payens of the Knights Templar, and reformed the Benedictines through a nascent Cistercian Order. We need a Bernard or Hugues to step into the fray. Which Lara will give birth to our Superman? Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was an Austrian occultist, social reformer, architect, esotericist, and claimed clairvoyant. Steiner gained recognition as a literary critic and published works including The Philosophy of Freedom. Esotericism is the belief that religious texts contain hidden meanings that are only available to the adept. The words in red show that Steiner was an outright fraudster. Malachi Martin SJ (1921-1999) was an Irish-born American Catholic priest, biblical archaeologist, exorcist, paleographer, professor, and writer on the Catholic Church. He was one of ten children, five girls and five boys. Four of the five boys became priests. About Siri (1906-1989) Martin said, according to Wikipedia -
Siri at Vat II Anyway, whether you believe what is said, all the destruction began then. John XXIII's prayer for world peace sounds exactly like the current pope. He engages in political stunts...how about praying for Catholics? After all, they are in your care.
St. Bernard School, Paris In April 2020, the congregation of SSPX Saint-Nicolas defied social distancing regulations then in force by holding an Easter Vigil. A live stream on YouTube showed the priest and deacons in close contact, without wearing masks, and Holy Communion was given with bare hands. About 40 people were in attendance. The priest was warned, booked, and given a €135 fine, since proven to be the correct response by a Catholic church to the tyranny of perversion. For all the cretins out there, tutoring was suspended for six months, but when it resumed, my students and I did not wear masks, and we were just fine. The last song they sing is Latin and French. Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, Benedicta tu. We had a children's Mass at 9am Sunday, St. Anne, SF, with the pre-modernist PBVM nuns, 15-20 (photo is Epiphany School, SF). To give you some idea of the difference between then and now, I walked to St. Anne by myself, and a family in the parish owned a grocery store, three blocks from our home. The Barulich family delivered groceries to the nuns every week for free. Carrying no pocketbook, they boarded public transportation for free. Anthony reads John Hardon, SJ, 1914-2000, the last good Jesuit, which saddens me as they were my educators. Joe Ketzer, my Jesuit-educated friend in Vienna, told me the same thing. Remember, Cardinal Cupich of Chicago banned the Prayer to St. Michael. If that isn't evil, what is?
1729 – born Olot, Spain 1736 (age 6) – enters the choir school of the Monastery of Montserrat 1746 (age 17) – appointed Choir Master in Lleida 1752 (age 23) – admitted to the Monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial 1753 (age 24) – begins studying under Domenico Scarlatti & José de Nebra 1783 (age 54) – dies Father Soler's birthplace, Olot, is between the Fluvia River and the Pyrenees Mountains. Known for a 20-hour workday, he was appointed music teacher for the Infantes Antonio and Gabriel, sons of King Carlos III. He reminds me of John Vianney, known to hear confessions for 12-14 hours a day, which is quite a contrast to New Order churches where confessions are heard for one hour on Saturday. At Latin Mass churches confessions are heard every day. Title: Retrato de Carlos III, niño (Carlos III at nine)

A young-looking Bishop Rene Gracida, 101, spoke out in support of exiled Bishop Strickland. I think Sarah and Burke have, and Vigano. That makes four out of 5,600. Bishop Gracida is referred to as retired. It’s like saying retired husband.
About 2,000 police departments across the nation use it. So, you want to defund innovation?
“The Attorney General is talking in circles,” said Greg Burt, Vice President of the California Family Council. “Bonta [CA Attorney General] and Tony Thurmond [CA State Superintendent of Public Instruction], representing the Department of Education, have been suing and intimidating school districts across California for adopting parent notification policies, claiming these violate state law. If that’s true, then how can their attorneys [representing the state] say the state’s secrecy policy was simply a suggestion, not an enforceable law?”
https://www.californiafamily.org/2024/05/ca-ags-attorney-says-states-gender-secrecy-policy-not-enforceable-only-guidance/ Parent notification refers to California’s secrecy policy compelling teachers to deceive parents about a student’s "gender dysphoria". The dinosaurs, on the other hand, are not an illusion, and teaching students about authentic history and settled science, even speculative science if so designated, is a good. Two French angels assist the Welsh hermit-priest who mingles with us and overlays the video with a poem written at Fontgombault. Did you know that every angel in Heaven is present at Mass? They worship, too. If my friend Josh and I, not angels, were present at this Mass, stifled laughter would have interrupted solitude. The little guy is doing his best. A parent sent me this video of a self-driving car in San Francisco. The owner is Waymo, LLC, formerly known as the Google Self-Driving Car Project, an American autonomous driving technology company headquartered in Mountain View, CA. These cars are common in SF, and stop and hazard lights go on when an obstacle is encountered, and seem to have a problem near the street cars (MUNI light rail). I asked her if other drivers drive around them when that happens, and she said, "If there's room." The cars have limited human supervision. "This question was sparked recently when a Tesla Model S crashed into a parked fire truck in Los Angeles.[5] The driver claimed that the vehicle was in Autopilot mode at the time of the accident, and Tesla has since clarified that its Autopilot feature is not meant to be used without supervision. This incident highlights the need for more straightforward liability guidelines in autonomous vehicle accidents." https://www.thezebra.com/resources/car-insurance/self-driving-car-insurance/ She received it.
Better choice - say no. Basis for that - Litany of Humility. From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, Jesus. From the desire of being loved... From the desire of being extolled... From the desire of being praised... From the desire of being preferred to others... That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. Etcetera. Anthony Stine of Return to Tradition (YouTube channel) reads a letter from Father Donald Kloster, a diocesan priest, not a priest of the SSPX or any other of the Latin Mass orders. The letter will shock the New Mass people. When I say "New Mass people", I mean those still attending the Mass instituted in 1969/1970. At the time we were led to believe that the Latin Mass had been replaced. That was a lie. Anthony Stine, PhD, Public Affairs and Policy, Portland State University
Only Anthony has the letter. I uploaded his full presentation for that reason. Enlarge the screen so that you can read the letter along with Anthony. Reference is made to Bryan Froehle, Professor of Sociology and Religious Studies, Palm Beach Atlantic University. The school is not affiliated with the Catholic Church.

In science, it is smarter to ignore the unqualified or conspiracy theorists. In religion, it is smarter to ignore prophecies. Stay grounded. Paragraph 1869 [Complicity]
[S]in makes men accomplices of one another and causes concupiscence, violence, and injustice to reign among them. Sins give rise to social situations and institutions that are contrary to the divine goodness. “Structures of sin” are the expression and effect of personal sins. They lead their victims to do evil in their turn. In an analogous sense, they constitute a “social sin.” Paragraph 2272 [Abortion] Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae,” “by the very commission of the offense,” and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society. Catechism of the Catholic Church (any edition) procure (verb) Cambridge Dictionary example: Low interest rates support bonds by making it cheaper for investors to procure funds and invest in fixed-income securities. To procure is to give or obtain funds. One accompanies the other. Planned Parenthood affiliates received about $148 million in federal grants from 2019 through 2021. https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-106215 How is that possible? Everyone knows women go there for an abortion, not health services. You go to an emergency room doctor, not Planned Parenthood, if a sewing machine needle has penetrated your finger or you've been raped. I've sat with three girls in the emergency room. Because Joe Biden formally cooperates in abortion, he is excommunicated latae sententiae. His bishop, Wilton Gregory, has not informed him and has refused to do anything. His superior, Jorge Bergoglio, has not ordered Wilton to do anything. Have they twisted some canonical law to excuse themselves? All three are complicit. Frank Pavone Remember Father Frank Pavone, the prominent, outspoken pro-life priest? He was canceled and is still canceled. That means his priestly faculties were taken away. I just googled him, and the answer was that he was a former priest. How stupid! Once a priest, always a priest. It's a sacrament and leaves an indelible mark. Removing his faculties was pure evil. I have not heard one bishop say out loud what I have said. Many American Catholics ignore what has happened. And that describes the state of the Catholic Church, one cruelty after another after another after another. When it comes to praying for the pope at Mass, I have a mental reservation. I pray for A pope, not one who is schismatic and disloyal. Forget about diverting attention to someone else. It is also a moral injunction that one vote for the lesser of two evils. |
