Founded in 1978 by Dom Gérard Calvet and currently led by Dom Louis-Marie de Geyer d’Orth, the abbey demonstrates that the Benedictine way applies to every status in life, and each person can borrow some part of that way. Take a look. The Latin Mass must replace the other one. Go Latin and nowhere else. Didn’t you want to get an A on every test? When more is expected of you, you do better. Quiet removes the desire for stardom and power, and soon the rule is accepted. I promise.

Who’s attacking Prager U, an approved educational vendor in Florida and Texas? Gavin Newsom. Teeth too white, hair too slick, his worshipful hates free speech. Worst of all, he cut class during a reading of Hamlet.
The center of the world is still America and Europe. What I see emerging is a new coalition of conservatives led by a young Catholic military man. He might be American, French, British, or something else. This coalition will crush its opposition and reinstall traditional values, including secure borders.
Following is what I witnessed at Kaiser Hospital. A woman arrived with two children, about 12 and 15, each with a cell phone and all well-dressed. None spoke English. She had Medi-Cal but no appointment and expected to be waited upon. A patient in the waiting area assisted with translating, and in she went without delay. I spent a lifetime working for my healthcare and made major decisions around it. The oppression of open borders is multiplied over and over across the land.

{1:1} Beatus vir, qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit: {1:1} Blessed is the man, that hath not gone in the counsel of the impious, and hath not stood in the way of sinners, and hath not sit in the chair of pestilence: Douay-Rheims translation notes: He is in the right way to eternal happiness that hath not consented to evil suggestions, not continued in sin, and not finally persisted in wicked life. I listened to all 11. The narrative is the interior life of a truly convicted Catholic like myself and some close friends. There are questions and answers, movements back and forth, shifts and up and down. Not all Catholics have an interior life, which begs the question: are they Catholic? Teresa talks about the life bypassing some associates. Modernists have not found it for lack of gratefulness.
Though not her purpose so to show, it is clear that one cannot have the life unless one is a Catholic. That is because one must be in a state of grace and reconciled to the Church. When one falls out of a state of grace, confession restores it, but non-Catholics do not have this sacrament. Find your way into the Church and begin this long process of the interior soul. She even talks about leaving her father’s house, a tie too strong for me, for religious life, or a lesson given to me. She speaks of people laughing at her, and of someone willing to suffer death many times for another. Her writing style consists of long, complex sentences, a style I favor, a style my editors said a modern audience cannot suffer. Before I post one more video mashup, I must give the highest recommendation to a young man, Catholic YouTuber Nicklas@CatholicNicklas, this time highlighting Christopher, Diego, and Junipero and mixing Ghostface Playa “YOU CAN CALL ME” Treasury Secretary Yellen ate magic mushrooms on a recent trip to China. She was testing them. She had hoped to import and distribute the shrooms to major American supermarket chains and make a magical bundle of money. They had no effect. The golden scheme has ended, and glittering generalities have ended, too. Biden issued her a yellow blankie.
The open secret?
The left hates America and wants to destroy her. An open secret is an oxymoron, isn’t it? Well, it’s a secret no more, but concentrating on resisting temptation is a little more important, isn’t it? Look at the real intentions of the Holy Father as revised by Pius XII and published in English in 1957, very different from the sappy, spineless monthly intentions now. Pray the real intentions harder. Thank you, Catholiccompany.

If unable to attend Mass daily, a good site is the Benedictine St. Madeleine Abbey, Le Barroux, France, youtube.com/abbayebarroux. Latin. Sung. Online Latin/English & Latin/Spanish Missals @ https://extraordinaryform.org/handmissals.html The way the Barroux monks do the “At the Communion” and arrange themselves in the sanctuary is extremely beautiful. This is one of those moments I grieve for Catholics who refuse to see a Latin Mass. Loss profound. I urge Eucharistic ministers to sit it out at Mass and all to refuse receiving in the hand. Following this advice will remake you. The Latin/English Missal is based on the Douay-Rheims translation. If you are a protestant using the King James translation, you are one step away from perfection, the best translation being the other reason for desiring a Latin/English Missal. If you don’t believe me, go online and read for yourself: https://www.drbo.org/ Dear unbeliever: There are 74 books in the Bible. I have never read it from cover to cover and have no intention so to do, nor do I memorize passages of this essential Catholic book, because it is integrated with the Mass. Get off TikTok! It is a Chinese Communist Party app mining your personal information, especially selfies, for blackmail. That is why I put no pictures of living relatives or friends on my website. Do real math. See me.
Guess who will be there: Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich, 74, worst of the worst. Read Pius X on the evil of ecumenism in his 1910 encyclical.
You have to be always drunk. That’s all there is to it—it’s the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk. But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk. And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your room, you wake again, drunkenness already diminishing or gone, ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is singing, everything that is speaking. . .ask what time it is and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: “It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish.” That is Baudelaire, recited today from memory by Mickey, St. Ignatius HS four-year mate and loyal friend. He started to recite in French and asked if I needed the English translation. “Yeah,” I said. Humana Fragilitas (Human Frailty), c. 1657, by Salvator Rosa; Photograph: DEA/A.

What I would be willing to do for election integrity is return to paper ballots with voter ID and no other way to vote. Would you? Or are you lazy, or home bound? Get someone to drive. Even homeless people have IDs. How else do they get welfare? (Stealing is other income.)

It’s time again for the annual Stella Awards.
For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald’s in New Mexico. You remember, she took the lid off the coffee and put it between her knees while she was driving. Who would ever think one could get burned doing that, right? That’s right; these are awards for the most outlandish lawsuits and verdicts in the U.S. You know, the kinds of cases that make you scratch your head. So, keep your head scratcher handy. Here are the Stella’s for this year. SEVENTH PLACE Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. Considering the running toddler was her own son, the store owners were understandably surprised by the verdict. Start scratching! SIXTH PLACE Carl Truman, 19, of Los Angeles, California won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps. Scratch some more... FIFTH PLACE Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just burglarized by way of the garage. Unfortunately for Dickson, the automatic garage door opener malfunctioned, and he could not get the garage door to open. Worse, he couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the garage to the house locked when Dickson pulled it shut. Forced to sit for eight days and survive on a case of Pepsi and a large bag of dry dog food, he sued the homeowner’s insurance company claiming undue mental anguish. Amazingly, the jury said the insurance company must pay Dickson $500,000 for his anguish. We should all have this kind of anguish. Keep scratching. There are more. Double hand scratching after this one. FOURTH PLACE Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, garnered 4th Place in the Stella’s when he was awarded $14,500 plus medical expenses after being bitten on the butt by his next door neighbor's beagle, even though the beagle was on a chain in its owner’s fenced yard. Williams did not get as much as he asked for because the jury believed the beagle might have been provoked at the time of the butt bite because Williams had climbed over the fence into the yard and repeatedly shot the dog with a pellet gun. Pick a new spot to scratch, you’re getting a bald spot. THIRD PLACE Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, won this spot because a jury ordered a Philadelphia restaurant to pay her $113,500 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her tailbone. The reason the soft drink was on the floor: Miss Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument. Only two more, so ease up on the scratching. SECOND PLACE Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, sued the owner of a night club in a nearby city because she fell from the bathroom window to the floor, knocking out her two front teeth. Even though Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the ladies’ room window to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge, the jury said the night club had to pay her $12,000....oh, yeah, plus dental expenses. Go figure. Ok. Here we go! FIRST PLACE This year’s runaway winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She had purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home from an OU football game, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver’s seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed, and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner’s manual that she couldn’t actually leave the driver’s seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down? $1,750,000, plus a new motor home. Winnebago changed their manuals because of this lawsuit just in case Mrs. Grazinski had any relatives who might also buy a motor home. If you think the American court system is out of control, be sure to pass this on! What is depicted? Roland blows his olifant (ivory hunting horn) to summon help holding his sword Durendal while mounted on his horse Veillantif with Roland's Breach in the background in the midst the Battle of Roncevaux.
Who is the painter? Wolf von Bibra (1862-1922). He based the painting on an etching by A Closs (1840-1894) or possibly his son Gustav Adolf Carl Closs (1864 - 1938)], which in turn was based on a painting by Louis-Félix Guesnet (1843–1907). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BattleofRoncevauxWvBibra.jpg Notes:
Wearied arm and broken sword
Wage in vain the desperate fight: Round him press a countless horde, He is but a single knight. Hark! a cry of triumph shrill Through the wilderness resounds, As, with twenty bleeding wounds, Sinks the warrior, fighting still. Now they heap the fatal pyre, And the torch of death they light: Ah! ’tis hard to die of fire! Who will shield the captive knight? Round the stake with fiendish cry Wheel and dance the savage crowd, Cold the victim’s mien, and proud. And his breast is bared to die. Who will shield the fearless heart? Who avert the murderous blade? From the throng, with sudden start, See there springs an Indian maid. Quick she stands before the knight, “Loose the chain, unbind the ring, I am daughter of the king, And I claim the Indian right!” Dauntlessly aside she flings Lifted axe and thirsty knife; Fondly to his heart she clings, And her bosom guards his life! In the woods of Powhattan, Still ’tis told by Indian fires, How a daughter of their sires Saved the captive Englishman. William Makepeace Thackeray 1811 – 1863 She is buried at Gravesend, England. The poem is almost trochaic tetrameter, here four beats per line with first, third, fifth, and seventh syllables accented, and must be read that way if drum sounds are desired, and children like that! The federal building in San Francisco is the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building. Hahaha. “In light of the conditions at the building we recommend employees … maximize the use of telework for the foreseeable future,” said Cheryl Campbell, the Health and Human Services (HHS) assistant secretary for administration in a memo on August 4th. Adjacent crime is sending them home and keeping them there. Hahahahahaha. https://amgreatness.com/2023/08/15/government-employees-told-to-work-from-home-due-to-crime-crisis-near-nancy-pelosi-federal-building/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=act_eng&seyid=83028
