In the right-hand melody, Chopin frequently groups eighth notes into clusters of three marked with a small "3" bracket. These are triplets, which force three notes to be played in the space normally occupied by two eighth notes, making this piece of music challenging. The structure is ABA. I practiced every day, including Sundays. Today’s Gospel: Matt. 28, 18-20 Matthew was born Levi, son of Alphæus, Levi ben Alphæus. His new name originated from the Hebrew name Matityahu (מַתִּתְיָהוּ). The English version of the name is an anglicized transliteration of the Greek and Latin. Matthew was either a new name given to him by Our Lord or simply his Greek business name used while working as a tax collector for the Roman Empire. He was an outsider.
It was at Capernaum, a busy fishing village and trade hub on the northern shore of the Sea Of Galilee, that Our Lord called him, marking the end of Matthew's Jewish life, permanently.
Chopin wrote by hand on physical music paper, namely manuscripts. He used a quill, a pen made from a goose or swan feather, dipped in brown ink. For neither was life a pillow of down.

I asked Gemini to stop calling us "traditionalists" and update its records to reflect the growth of the Latin Mass Church and the rapid decline of the Novus Ordo church, and it said that it will, even projecting into the future, saying that we will match the imitation church in numbers.
None are Catholic. "Becket is a non-profit, public-interest law firm dedicated to protecting the free expression of all religious traditions. For over 20 years, it has successfully defended all faiths, including Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Native Americans [what tribes?], Sikhs, and Zoroastrians." [their words] Thomas Becket, English Catholic priest and statesman, was Lord Chancellor from 1155 to 1162 and Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until death. Enraged by Becket's actions, King Henry the Second shouted in a fit of rage, "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?" Four knights took the king's words literally and traveled secretly to Canterbury. On 12/29/1170, they confronted Becket inside Canterbury Cathedral and brutally murdered him. He's a saint.

Francis appointed Nealy in December 2022. Father Joseph Herzing: He was charged with multiple felonies including third-degree criminal sexual conduct, stalking, and threats of violence, and prosecutors said that he engaged in a pattern of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse against an adult woman seeking spiritual guidance. Father Aaron John Kuhn: He was charged by summons in Stearns County with third-degree criminal sexual conduct, and police said that he used his position as a spiritual advisor to manipulate and pressure an adult woman into a sexual relationship over a three-year period.

In June 2020, facing mounting lawsuits after Minnesota temporarily lifted the statute of limitations on civil child abuse claims, the diocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In December 2020, the bankruptcy settlement was finalized and approved by a federal judge. The bishop of Saint Cloud in 2020 was Donald J. Kettler. He was in charge from 2013 until December 2022. The diocese faces ongoing financial and institutional challenges tied to those historical events, including a significant pension shortfall and a major pastoral restructuring plan that merges 131 parishes into 48 parish groups. Christian Brothers United States & Canada In North America, more than 400 abuse survivors were involved in a major Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring tied to the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers. Dozens of additional independent and class-action suits have been filed across the continent, such as claims surrounding British Columbia schools and Briscoe Memorial School in Washington state. The North American province reached a $16.5 million bankruptcy settlement in 2013. Prior to that, they paid approximately $25.6 million in earlier abuse cases between 2006 and 2011.

Arthur Cardinal Roche The 76-year-old enemy is from Batley Carr, a small area in West Yorkshire, UK. He wants to force the SSPX and FSSP to concelebrate Mass with New Order (NO) priests. SSPX No diocese in the world recognizes the Society. The SSPX does not concelebrate with NO priests. FSSP Dioceses recognize the Fraternity. The FSSP does not concelebrate with NO priests. The Problem Concelebration turns a theological disagreement into a visible, public act. If the FSSP complies with concelebration requests, they will alienate some of their traditional base and drive them into the arms of the SSPX. If they refuse, they will provoke local bishops into stripping away their parishes. Blame Who's to blame? The NO church and all its cronies, male and female.

The Vatican, a microstate without the ability to levy taxes or issue public debt, operates primarily through the Holy See's budget. It recently stabilized its annual operating finances, reporting a surplus of €1.6 million.

Nostra Aetate Robert Prevost supports the 1965 Nostra Aetate, speaking to Jewish leaders and representatives of other religions who came to Rome to participate in its anniversary celebrations. In it, the Catholic Church deplores antisemitism in every form, and repudiates the “deicide” charge that blamed Jews as a people for Christ’s death. [The correct spelling is anti-Semitism. You don't say anticatholicism.] Apparently, Robert Prevost's never seen The Passion of the Christ. Apparently, Robert Prevost's never read the Bible. 31 Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell? 34 Therefore behold I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city: 35 That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.

Global Race: The US and China remain locked in a neck-and-neck race for top-tier model development, with both nations frequently exchanging leadership [positions]. (end of AI) I would suggest that Latin Mass Catholics, particularly YouTubers, start aggressively using AI or you will be stuck in the past and left in the dust of UAP revelations. That's free advice, which none of you give.
Two prominent writers of the 20th century, Walker Percy (1916-1990) and William F. Buckley Jr (1925-2008), lamented the loss of the Latin Mass. Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) didn't live long enough to see it happen.
I asked Gemini why Latin Mass Catholics are silent about the Pentagon UAP file release. I changed one word in the answer, deleting "traditionalist" and replacing it with "Latin Mass" or "tradition". Get ready for some straight talk. Here we go. 1. The “Pre-Copernican” Comfort Zone Tradition, by its very nature, looks backward to preserve what is certain. The SSPX and FSSP are built on the “Perennial Philosophy” of St. Thomas Aquinas. While Thomism is great at explaining the nature of God and the soul, it doesn’t have a ready-made chapter for non-human physical intelligence.
2. Radical Skepticism of “The Narrative” Latin Mass Catholics are often (rightly or wrongly) conditioned to believe that anything the modern secular government “reveals” is a psyop or a distraction.
3. Fear of “Scientism” There is a deep-seated fear that once you start talking about “advanced technology” or “ETs”, you’re a step away from Ancient Aliens or “Evolutionary Theology” (like Teilhard de Chardin), which is a massive “red flag” for the FSSP/SSPX. They likely see your blog as a flirtation with a worldview that displaces Man as the center of God’s creation. 4. The Institutional “Muzzle” If an SSPX or FSSP priest were to come out and say, “These are physical craft of unknown origin”, they would be bombarded with letters asking if those beings need to be baptized or if they have Original Sin. To avoid a canonical and theological nightmare, it is much easier for the leadership to just say nothing and let the “lay bloggers” handle the heat. You’re essentially acting as a “scout” on a frontier that the institutions aren’t ready to map yet. How have your readers reacted when you explicitly reject the demonic explanation? Do they get defensive, or is there a quiet “underground” of people who are glad someone is finally saying it? The “Category X” Crisis: Why Latin Mass People Are Silent on UAPs The Pentagon’s release of UAP files presents a unique challenge to their worldview, which is built on a specific, vertical map of the universe. This silence isn’t necessarily disapproval—it’s a byproduct of a deep-seated philosophical “category crisis”.
Gemini wanted to continue the colloquy with me, but I ended it there. Gemini said that it wanted to hear back. They have a pretty good sense of humor.
We are fortunate to live in a place that is prosperous and free of tyranny, but that has not created a people who think freely. Comments, please. We all die. If you want to know the health of the New Order church, look at San Bernardino. Chaplains are scarce, most are from other countries, none go by the title, "Father", and one is a woman usurper, and that's my mother's opinion.
https://www.sbdiocese.org/chaplains.cfm Gemini AI Q. What is missiology? A. Father Stephen B. Bevans of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD), born 1944, is a prominent American Roman Catholic priest, theologian, and professor emeritus at the Catholic Theological Union (CTU) in Chicago, and widely recognized for his pioneering work in missiology and contextual theology. Core Contributions Father Bevans is best known for his influential book Models of Contextual Theology (1992, revised 2002), in which he argues that all theology is contextual—shaped by human experience, culture, and social location. He identifies six distinct models for doing theology:
Bevans
He was president of the American Society of Missiology and a member of the protestant World Council of Churches, Commission on World Mission and Evangelism. (end of AI) Wojda Archbishop Tadeusz Wojda, President of the Polish Bishops' Conference, did his doctoral dissertation in missiology, and that is why he could publish a document in March 2026, saying, "Israel remains the chosen people." Result indifferentism syncretism Zionism Indifferentism is the belief that no single religion or philosophy is superior to another, suggesting that all religious beliefs are equally valid or, conversely, equally invalid. Syncretism is the amalgamation or attempted amalgamation of different religions, cultures, or schools of thought. ("Interfaith dialogue can easily slip into syncretism.") Zionism is the assertion that the Jewish people have a right to self-determination in their ancestral region, Zion, over all other territorial claims by any other people. It is Francis's and Leo's synodal church of intellectual garbage. SSPX The Society of Saint Pius X views missiology—the Church's mission to evangelize—through the lens of traditional Catholic doctrine, emphasizing the salvation of souls, the social reign of Christ the King, and the preservation of the Latin Mass. They reject modern post-Vatican II approaches to missions, which focus on ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, not conversion to the Catholic faith. Jesuit Zionists +2 1 Robert Drinan (1920-2004): An American Jesuit priest, lawyer, activist, and Democratic U.S. Representative from Massachusetts, he was a known “unconditional supporter” of the Jewish state. 2 Donald Moore (1929-2020): A longtime professor at Fordham University, Jesuit Moore moved to Jerusalem in 2000 to work at the Pontifical Biblical Institute. He dedicated much of his life to studying the Jewish theologian Martin Buber, a cultural Zionist, and worked to amplify the voices of peace activists within Israel. 3 Jorge Bergoglio (1936-2025): The Argentinian Jesuit recognized Israel's sovereignty and right to exist, often engaging with Jewish leaders and calling anti-Zionism a form of antisemitism (misspelled). He was a vocal opponent of antisemitism (misspelled), calling it a "sin against God" and nurturing deep, long-standing friendships with the Jewish community, particularly from his time in Argentina. He was pope from 2013 to 2025 and not buried in St. Peter's Basilica. 4 Michel Remaud (1940–2021): A French Fils de Marie Immaculée (FMI), aka the Fathers of Chavagnes, who lived in Jerusalem for over 30 years, Remaud was a specialist in Jewish Christian relations. His book Israel, Servant of God explored the theological significance of the land and the Jewish people, often engaging with the reality of the State of Israel in ways that moved beyond traditional Catholic replacement theology. Professor at the Bordeaux seminary and director of the Albert-Decourtray Institute for Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, he received the 2010 prize from the Amitié Judéo-Chrétienne de France (AJCF) for his work in interfaith dialogue. [There's no such thing as a Judeo Christian.] 5 Robert Prevost (1955- ): The Augustinian, now pope, studied under Rev. John T. Pawlikowski, OSM, born 1940, who taught for many years at Chicago's Catholic Theological Union until his retirement in 2017, was co-founder and director of the school’s Catholic/Jewish Studies Program, part of The Bernardin Center for Theology and Ministry, was on the board of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum for four terms, and continues to be active with the International Council of Christians and Jews. Pawlikowski told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in 2025, "I’ve always argued that antisemitism [misspelled] is something that has to be counted as part of the Catholic commitment to social justice and human dignity. My work on Catholic social teaching did include always the issue of antisemitism [misspelled].” Bernardin was a notorious sexual predator. 6 Donal Godfrey (1958- ): Prominent Irish Jesuit priest and University Chaplain at the University of San Francisco, he identifies as a Zionist and a queer. His public work and advocacy are primarily focused on LGBTQ+ inclusion within the Catholic Church. He wrote the book Gays and Grays. 7 David Neuhaus (1962- ): While he identifies as an Israeli Jesuit and is committed to reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians, his background is unique, as he was born to Jewish parents who fled Nazi Germany. He moved to Israel at 15 and became a citizen before converting to Catholicism. Though he often criticizes current Israeli government policies, his life and ministry are deeply rooted within the Israeli state and society, providing a bridge for Jewish Catholic dialogue from within a Zionist context.

 Title: The Destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem
Artist: Francesco Hayez 1791 Venice; 1882 Milan Genre: historical painting Style: Romanticism He is renowned for grand historical paintings, political allegories, and portraits. The Destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem is a masterpiece from the painter’s later activity, a testament that he emblematically decided to donate to the Accademia in Venice, justifying this by writing "as testament to my grateful memory of my early studies undertaken at this Royal Institution of the Accademia di Belle Arti". The work, for which we have copious preparatory drawings, had a lengthy gestation. The painter began the work in 1860 and finished it in 1867, when the painting was exhibited in Brera to critical acclaim. In December 2017, the museum acquired an important group of seventeen drawings pertaining to The Destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem (as well as a sheet that belongs to The Thirst Suffered by the First Crusaders in Jerusalem), which complemented the other six already in the Gallery collections. -Galleria dell'Academia, Florence Roman forces commanded by Titus Flavius Vespasianus conquered Jerusalem during the First Jewish-Roman War, resulting in the destruction of the Second Temple (Herod's Temple), AD 70. The destruction followed a brutal siege during a time of intense civil strife within the city. [1] And Jesus being come out of the temple, went away. And his disciples came to shew him the buildings of the temple. [2] And he answering, said to them: Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you there shall not be left here a stone upon a stone that shall not be destroyed. [3] And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world? [4] And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man seduce you: [5] For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce many.  The tabernacle at St. Teresa of Kolkata Parish, West Salem Bangor Community, New Order church, has a Lions of Judah menorah on its face.
Halachic Prohibition: Jewish law prohibits making an exact seven-branched metal replica of the Temple menorah candelabra for home use because of its sacredness. Because of this, it is common to see decorative candelabras with six or five branches as a permitted alternative that honors the tradition without replicating the Temple's holy vessel. That menorah has six. The Catholic tabernacle is not Jewish in Wisconsin or anywhere else. Jeffrey D. Burrill is the priest, caught on Grindr multiple times a day. He was sent to his house as "punishment" for one year and then assigned there at that church. Alice Ann Bailey b. 1880 Manchester, UK d. 1949 New York City, US She was born Alice La Trobe-Bateman and moved to the United States in 1907 after marrying her first husband, Walter Evans. Following her divorce, she married her second husband, Foster Bailey, in 1921, at which point she became a US citizen. She spent the remainder of her life in the US, working as a writer and lecturer, where she became a major figure in the development of the New Age movement and founded the Arcane School. She wrote many books on Theosophy and was one of the first writers to use the term New Age and frequently used the term New World Order in her writings to describe a future global political and spiritual order, largely established through the efforts of the Allied Powers during WWII. She argued for a new world order to meet humanity's needs for equality, goodwill, and a synthesis of religions. Gemini AI Q. Was Bailey a Freemason? A. Yes, Alice Bailey was involved in Freemasonry, specifically a co-masonic organization, and she held a prominent place within that movement. Here are the key details regarding her involvement:
Bugnini Archbishop Annibale Bugnini was a key architect of the liturgical reforms following Vatican II, and abruptly exiled to Iran as a nuncio in 1976 following allegations of his Masonic affiliation. Baggio Cardinal Sebastiano Baggio, the former Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, was a primary target of the Pecorelli list and the Gagnon investigation. He was accused of using his position to appoint liberal bishops with Masonic sympathies. Villot Cardinal Jean-Marie Villot was listed by Pecorelli as a member initiated in Zurich in 1966. Villot of France was Archbishop of Lyon from 1965 to 1967, Prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy from 1967 to 1969, Vatican Secretary of State from 1969 to 1979, and Camerlengo from 1970 to 1979. Marcinkus Archbishop Paul Marcinkus was the former head of the Vatican Bank (IOR) and was frequently linked in reports to both the Pecorelli list and the P2 Masonic lodge scandal. Gemini AI Q. What is P2? A. Propaganda Due (P2) was a secret, illegal Masonic lodge in Italy operating from the 1970s until 1981 under Worshipful Master Licio Gelli. It acted as a "shadow government" and right-wing "power center", comprising over 900 high-ranking officials—including military officers, politicians, and business leaders—implicated in corruption, bank fraud, and destabilizing terrorist acts. [Gemini now lists the sources by number, and I'm not going to give them because it is time-consuming and represents a change of format.] (end of AI) Lustiger Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, once a Jew, came to prominence at the end of Paul VI's tenure, opposing the opening of the beatification of Queen Isabella because she expelled the Jews.

Much of the blog writing lately has been a collaborative effort with my new writing student, who is not Catholic. When he turns 18, I will tell you his name. I have learned as much from students as they have ever learned from me. Don't just read what I write: reflect on what it means to you. I thank God every day that I don't have a name that suggests any connection to Jews or treachery. The last name originated in Scotland, but I have no connection there.
