Gutfeld is right. I dealt with homeless people in San Francisco for eight and a half years. I asked one homeless man, Ed, who knew my name, why he would not go to a homeless shelter. He said, “I don’t like to be confined by walls.” Not so. He was banned because he fought with other homeless people in the shelters. I watched a homeless woman shoot up between her toes right in front of school.
They would not have survived in rural 19th century America. Soup kitchens, syringe-free distribution centers, and cannabis "clinics", etcetera, coddle them. This is false compassion. Stop paying for their drugs and alcohol and ban tent cities. Pick up their bodies and bury them with a little dignity. 
​I do not want to support people who have freely chosen a lifestyle that ends in death by drugs or alcohol and will not help themselves. I’d rather support children born with deformities or mental retardation, the elderly, those incapacitated by illness or terrible accidents, and the dying.

The Commonitorium or Commonitory is a 5th-century Catholic treatise written under the pseudonym “Peregrinus” and attributed to Vincent of Lérins. It is known for Vincent’s famous maxim: "Moreover, in the Catholic Church itself, all possible care must be taken, that we hold that faith which has been believed everywhere, always, by all.” Vincent wrote the Commonitory c. 434 and died c. 445. This is the best treatise I have ever read. https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/3506.htm​

He also speaks of “cancelled” priests.
Chapter 4. [11.]
“... wives were violated, widows ravished, virgins profaned, monasteries demolished, clergymen ejected, the inferior clergy scourged, priests driven into exile, jails, prisons, mines, filled with saints, of whom the greater part, forbidden to enter into cities, thrust forth from their homes to wander in deserts and caves, among rocks and the haunts of wild beasts, exposed to nakedness, hunger, thirst, were worn out and consumed. Of all of which was there any other cause than that, while human superstitions are being brought in to supplant heavenly doctrine, while well-established antiquity is being subverted by wicked novelty, while the institutions of former ages are being set at naught, while the decrees of our fathers are being rescinded, while the determinations of our ancestors are being torn in pieces, the lust of profane and novel curiosity refuses to restrict itself within the most chaste limits of hallowed and uncorrupt antiquity?”
Chapter 5. [12.]
“But it may be, we invent these charges out of hatred to novelty and zeal for antiquity. Whoever is disposed to listen to such an insinuation, let him at least believe the blessed Ambrose, who, deploring the acerbity of the time, says, in the second book of his work addressed to the Emperor Gratian: Enough now, O God Almighty! Have we expiated with our own ruin, with our own blood, the slaughter of Confessors, the banishment of priests, and the wickedness of such extreme impiety. It is clear, beyond question, that they who have violated the faith cannot remain in safety.”

Vincent quoted Pope Stephen’s epistle sent to Africa: “Let there be no innovation — nothing but what has been handed down.”

This is a commentary on Jesuit F, F for failed pope.

I said I would no longer comment on F. Now I’m going to because developments are accumulating.

The man has no leadership abilities. He runs the Church as if it were a big experiment. This a leader cannot do. Either he is allowing radical intellectuals to reign over him, or he is with them. His words are Jesuit casuistry, too clever for anyone to know which it is. A comment has been made that he and his cronies will not leave the Church because they live off its revenue, and they don’t want to abandon that, which would mean getting a real job.

His first task is to preserve the deposit of faith. His second task is to keep order. These tasks he has utterly failed to accomplish. Signs have popped up everywhere: Germany, Canada, USA, France, Italy, China. I have written about each country or placed on my website the analysis done by other faithful Catholics. I have quoted popes before him, and what they have said against modernism.

The destruction of the Latin Mass and Latin Mass lay and religious communities symbolizes all that he is doing, but he and his advisors underestimate the numbers of Catholics who are now properly schooled in history. The political lefties are eating each other alive.
​
Some pray for his conversion. Hope is a virtue. We pray for all manner of men. However, hoping for his conversion is an illusory dream. It is too late for him and the old men of the 1960s.

​It has been reported that Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby admitted that most Anglicans in England now recognize the Pope as “the father of the Church in the West”. You can research it for yourself. Okay, and…

French Revolution

“The Vianney's, who were devout Catholics, went to distant farms to hear Mass, celebrated clandestinely by loyal priests who risked their lives to bring the sacraments to their flocks. Jean-Marie’s instruction for his First Communion had to be carried out in secret by two laicized nuns. The ceremony itself took place in 1799 in a private house at Ecully. While Mass was being celebrated, the windows of the drawing room were shuttered so that the light of the candles could not be seen.
​
…

“He slept only two hours each night, rising shortly after midnight, going to the church where he remained kneeling without support until it was time for him to say Mass.

“His sleep was frequently interrupted by the devil who assaulted him with deafening noises, insults, and physical attacks, and once even setting his bed on fire. But Satan himself admitted that the Blessed Virgin Mary protected the holy priest, and he was powerless over her.
 
“Many witnessed these diabolical visitations, but the Curé of Ars accepted them as a matter of course and often joked about them.”

I try not to be too political on my website, but I guess my timing is pretty good. I am posting Contrast 1 when this arrives - they broke into his safe. People who support this kind of action are triumphant in their own minds but guilty of a mortal sin, vengeful anger. That will send a person to Hell. I say a rosary every day for the FSSP, but today the USA is added. This event will make us stronger.

1) Gamaliel the Elder, Hebrew רַבַּן גַּמְלִיאֵל הַזָּקֵן, leading authority in the Sanhedrin, advises against killing the apostles, which is accepted, educated guess is he dies in AD52, saint
2) Nicodemus, Greek Νικόδημος, Pharisee, member of the Sanhedrin, appears after the Crucifixion to provide the embalming spices, assists Joseph of Arimathea in preparing the body, saint
3) Abibas, son of Gamaliel and brother of Nicodemus, saint
Sources say G, N, and A are baptized at the same time.

The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP) caved to Crumb Cupich who closed their Chicago church for saying the Latin Mass. Facebook: Timothy J. Williams - “My youngest son has a vocation. Why would I want him to associate with the ICKSP? So he can meekly submit to persecution out of a false understanding of obedience, and learn to abandon the faithful to themselves? No thank you. I hope to direct him toward the SSPX.” The SSPX is the Society of St. Pius X. One person on Facebook asked the ICKSP to move to Florida, and another to Virginia. Facebook said, “Most Relevant selected, so some comments may have been filtered out.” Filtering by Facebook, and Crushing by Cupich. I am not on Facebook, but that doesn’t mean I can’t see.

I see not with mine eyes Thy wounds, as Thomas saw,
Yet own Thee for my God with equal love and awe;
Oh, grant me, that my faith may ever firmer be,
That all my hope and love may repose in Thee.
Annus Sanctus, Roman Missal p 1816
