State of the Union

I am still applauding and still standing, and the President's State of the Union was yesterday.

Catholic Senators Approve Late Term Abortion

As a Catholic myself I will stand against it and I pray our leaders, both Protestant and Catholic, will stand against it. It is a great shame our leaders are so silent. But didn't our Lord say wolves would adorn sheep's clothing? That the lukewarm church would leave a bad taste in his mouth? Let us pray that God raise up believing bishops with backbone as well as priest, minister, and layman to come against this barbarism. But be assured Our Lord is not going to lose even with Laodicean leaders

A Churchman's Anger Against Hollywood

A Churchman's post I saw today expressed concern about his anger against Hollywood. He stated that his anger might be inconsistent with his being a follower of Christ. It seems to me when I read the warning of our Lord about millstones and being dropped into the depth of the sea to those who offend these little ones and how Hollywood promotes what they promote polluting the purity of little ones I think that perhaps the Church is not angry enough these smiley faced days. We have thought Christ came to make us nice when he in fact came to make us new.

The Law of Love and the Love of the Law

At St Mary's Men's group, we reflected on the acrostic psalm, Psalm 119. One thing that impresses you about this psalm is how David, the psalmist, expresses love and delight and wonder at the law, the statutes, the commands of God. We generally look at law as a restriction, a duty, a cold chain enclosing our liberty. But here in this psalm the law is seen as a liberty of love, a thing to be esteemed and sought after, a thing to be tasted as one would taste honey in all its sweetness. For the source of this law is Love.

There But For the Grace of God Go I

"There but for the grace of God go I." This was something that was often said at one time. We realized in that bygone age, it seems, that we ourselves without God's grace could be capable of nearly anything. For many of us who have little power or voice or influence our anger is merely laughed at. But what if we had the power of a Stalin or a Hitler or even a doctor or a judge...perhaps our power could cause us to exercise our power in unjust ways. I wish for only God to have that prerogative of power. May we regain that axiom: "There but for the grace of God go I."

The Andronous Vengence of Our Present Jurisprudence

So this is what justice has become? While in no way condoning this immorality I must ask regarding the spirit evident in this judge: For the counts of sexual misconduct (and misconduct it was) does it appear to anyone that a capital sentence as he was given seem justified? If one listens to this judge's voice and the content of what she says, does it not sound like someone who is executing an almost sadistic vengeance rather than justice? Does she not sound like a judge who is somewhat, maybe even a little, filled with a toxic hatred for men, and willing here to make this man a scapegoat for her hatred? I mean 175 years? Murderers are often given much lighter sentences. Drug dealers who poison children are given lighter sentences. Just as misogyny would be wrong in a male judge should not misandrony be wrong in a female judge? And by the way, this is nothing new. I saw a similar spirit in the female judge who handed down to a Cuban friend of mine (for a different and not a sordid crime) an extremely inordinate sentence to what all his neighbors new as a good man that made a discretionary mistake with regard to a firearm. And one could hear in her tone and evident in her words that hers was likewise a misandronous vengeance that poisoned her judgement.

The "Woman's" March

Seeing the pictures people have posted on the 'woman's' march (I put 'woman' in quotes because this march does not (thankfully) represent all women, or hopefully hardly a minority) and have chosen not to post the images which are some of the ugliest, darkest that I have ever seen. I just wonder why all the secular puritans so enraged over 's-hole' haven't decried---shall we say?---the unladylike language---from these holy crusaders for such a just cause as making sure they are safe from a president who wishes to curtail their demanding freedom to have the little non-persons in the womb removed and then discarded like any disposable. Of course I saw some of the slogans they were proclaiming on their pink hats (how I've come to dislike the color pink) and on other parts of their autonomous bodies that I do believe a woman of the streets in another more Victorian era would have blushed the darkest shade of pink at such disclosure. I don't know about you, but I do find it a bit strange that I don't seem to hear even an offended peep by the secularly righteous---those who so wish to keep our ears from anything untoward and profane. So. Why are they so silent? Maybe they have suddenly changed their mind about bad words? Or perhaps they just feel it the natural fruit of the feminist frustration with all us chauvinistic misogynists who really have such old fashioned notions of a woman's mystery, or of the precious value of the life she may carry in the most hidden sanctuary of her being, or of the beauty of authentic femininity over against the ugly aggression of a woman who undergoes the metamorphosis of anti-motherhood and seeks to march for a dark master and against her own nature. All I can do is hope, hope that maybe the ugliness just becomes so ugly that it wakes up many from the enchantment of their most toxic faith.

Lamentations Today

I lament greatly the success of the Left in continually fomenting division in this country that could be a source of good in the world. I lament the fact that Christianity, the true source of our origins and our ending, the explanation of our goodness and our lack of goodness, our fuel for flowers as well as our fuel for the foul growths of our good earth, the very reason for our reason and our thought, the sight that makes our eyes shine at a sunrise, and impress the delicate shades of color at a sunset---I lament those that would keep insinuating to us our discontent, our lover's quarell with the world, that such should be so protested against when in fact, it should be so lovingly embraced.

Millstones For Sale

I just looked up on youtube some of the videos of what children are up against as to the propaganda they are being fed and regurgitating. I would have posted these videos but I hesitate even though I wish you, my Christian friends, to know about what is happening to your children but I also do not wish to advertise these satanic messages. I don't often use 'satanic' as an adjective, but for these videos I can only say that they must arise from the depths of Hell's depravity itself. These poor children are taught these transgender pronouns and the video shows them regurgitating them after they've been enlightened to be 'compassionate'. Previously, I posted one that was quite humorous in its satirical counter to this insanity. But to watch children themselves being molded was well...pornographic. Another concept that was taught them was this new concept of 'intersectionality' (isn't there some new insanity it seems every minute?)---the idea that people can be offended on different levels, say for example by race and sex (surprise!) and that the offense is multiplied exponentially if say a black lesbian woman has both an offense seen as racist and sexist homophobic all at the same time. My friends, if you don't hear the footfalls of the brown shirts in the future coming to see this engineering of society carried out I think that terribly naive. I just hope the Church wakes up to this offense of little ones. Our Lord had the harshest words for these saying that they will have millstones hung around their necks and thrown into the deepest sea. Hardly it seems the words of the meek and mild ever merciful Jesus we have come to know recently. Yes, he is mercy, but he is also just. And he seems particularly wrathful when it is the little ones that are hurt and engineered to believe these Luciferian lies. Children are our future and the Enemy knows that if he gains the innocent minds of these little ones he will in fact be able to have degeneracy metastasize so that the entire culture will be under the thumb of the anti-theist. Awaken Oh, Church to the real death-knell that is sounding. It is in the weak little meek voices of children.

The New Inquisition

The New Inquisition. Now it is required our president get a clean bill of health. Inquisition is to be made of his mental capacity. Is he nonchalantly speaking insensitivities out of some case of dementia? Is his radical racism the result of a Mein Kampf wiring of the brain? Of course in an age dominated by un-alpha males an actual alpha male appearing must cause a frenzy of hysteria. Indeed it must seem to such sensitive souls that a Fuhrer has arisen. After all how could such a one have ascended to the presidency? I mean haven't we worked so hard to engineer a huge hate free zone? Yet now we have a cold-hearted Caucasian in the highest office of the land. From all the calumnies from the Compassionate Left I assume he must be secretly constructing concentration camps. This must be the case that inspires so many "hate-free zone" banners, "no place for hate" lawn signs, "separation of church and hate" church marques. Of course these are much needed reminders for us who can so easily clutch our swastikas while we sit in the pew. I am for one grateful for this inquisition which seems to have quite become the fashion of our compassionate comrades on the Left. Of course it is all for a good cause: that the hard hearts of us undiverse conservatives, fundamentalists, traditionalists, orthodox religionists, Trumpers (even) would come to embrace our inquisitions which someday might even hopefully grow to be something like the ultimate Robespierrian remedy.

The Habits of these Secular Nuns at the Golden Globe Award Ceremony

Somehow the habits of these secular nuns make me wonder about their real motive...I wouldn't say that their religious habit (and yes it is religious) makes me think their habit reveals something other than moral indignation and a call for modesty and morality. Perhaps it's just the prude in me.

Color of Skin and Content of Character

Wasn't it Martin Luther King who said something to the effect that he wished his children be known not for the color of their skin but the content of their character? Seems that I recall words to that effect. And yet there are people in this country in the guise of compassionate crusaders against racist America who are continually reminding us of people's pigment whether it is in the disparaging of white people with such catchy slogans as "white privilege", "white racism", or that "racism will not end until white people die", etc. or the pointing out, ad nauseum, the pigment of non european ethnicities as if pigment was their number one and primary characteristic rather than as MLK said, their 'content of character'. And it is disconcerting to me that we have fallen for so much of this rhetoric of race and have so twisted language to provide a narrative laced with such negative slander that it is a wonder anyone would dare come to this country. By the way how this country is described by the Left makes me think that we wouldn't need so much as a solitary brick on the border to keep people out. After all such a country so hostile to people of color must certainly not be a very attractive country to people that already live in attractive countries themselves? Of course, to make matters even worse this country has as her reigning despot a man that we are continually told must wear the quite fashionable scarlet moniker, 'racist'. But what I'm trying hard to understand is why would such a supremacist put a man of color in his cabinet---could it possibly be that he just saw him in regards to his content of character and didn't even notice his pigment? And likewise how is it that this same racist despot institutes a special celebration in honor of the late civil rights leader? Yes, perhaps the racist despot didn't even notice his pigment. Perhaps it was just the content of character he was noticing

Ho-hum, Yet Another New Slam on President Trump

When I was in Spain a Spanish woman lamented the fact that Spain under the Marxist government had become a very bad country. I didn't think she hated her own Spanish people. I have a friend who is a Haitian minister of the Gospel and he left Haiti because it was a country of corruption, and I didn't think this Haitian pastor hated his own people. We have a president unlike the rhetorically slick politicians that we are used to who for once says what's true---perhaps not groomed newspeak as we are used to---and funny I can imagine that so many that seem so anxious to throw the stones at Trump have used such language themselves, I suspect of America herself. And funny thing, I keep hearing their 'judge not' concerning the depraved changes that have happened here in our own country until it hurts my ears. They seem just the ones that would do well to heed their own advice and make sure the beam is removed before they regard with microscopic mania the splinter.

A Question of Existence

A human being who neither created himself nor keeps by conscious will his heart beating, his lungs processing oxygen, the earth spinning at just the proper degree of axis; who had nothing to do with the chemical constituency of water---when such a creature questions the existence of a Creator---well, isn't it something like David Copperfield being arrogantly agnostic about the existence of Charles Dickens?

Microscoped Oprah?

Could it be that since we now have a Machiavellian morality that is so microscoped Oprah (who just announced she will run for the presidency) will come under the same scrutiny of say, Roy Moore? Does any one really think the main (and the not so main) news sources will have her on the glass slide? No, I suspect it will be in a glass case impervious to stones.

The Coming Cyclone Bomb

The media are calling what is coming as a "Cyclone Bomb". Is this different than a blizzard? Do we feel the need to hype things so much that the old fashioned word just won't engage our attention anymore? The dictionary is changing faster than I can keep up with. "Cyclone bomb" makes me think I should have acquired sand bags for my house. I should have fortified my fortress a little more than I have. Armed turrets maybe? Anyhow, I am curious as to what this latest Armageddon may mean. Of course a few years ago, "Snow Armageddon" was coined. So this time it will be, I guess, an explosive device that the heavens itself will set off? I guess "storm" isn't flamboyant enough these days to get us to notice the coming blitzkrieg of an old fashioned blizzard.
