  The American Spectator reported that " The Deep Church [is] Against Viganò... They find him guilty of being Catholic ": I n Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s recent letter to Donald Trump, he writes, “just as there is a deep state, there is also a deep church that betrays its duties and forswears its proper commitments before God.” Naturally, the deep church resented the letter. But it particularly didn’t like that Trump tweeted about it, saying, “So honored by Archbishop Viganò’s letter to me. I hope everyone, religious or not, reads it!” An imagined deep church? How dare Viganò notice that an entrenched bureaucracy of clerics opposed to Catholic teaching exists in the Church.  Members of the deep church quickly moved into action, pooh-poohing the significance of Viganò and seeking to discredit him. The vanguard of the deep church, the Jesuits, led the charge. They used their magazine, America, to remind people that the form

Almost all the faithful Catholic bishops and cardinals, it appears, are too cowardly to join the sensus fidilium lay resistance against the burning of churches and statues as well as the heresy of sacrilege Communion to adulterous couples promoted by Francis' Amoris Laetitia except a very few exceptions such as Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano. The one obvious exception is Bishop Rene Henry Gracida. Watch "Bishop Gracida Exclusive Interview—Lay Uprising" on YouTube: https://youtu.be/arF9TlUVfiU "Cardinal Burke is saying... the truth. What is more important... is for people in the pew to say: No, that is not true!" "It's more important for people in the pew to raise up and say in print, in letters, in phone calls, in email, in person, in interviews... for the laity to say no that is not true... than for a Burke to say this is the truth...." "We don't need people to say this is the truth. Wha

  PRAYER TO THE HOLY TRINITY BY ST. FREDERICK Glory be to the Father, Who by His almighty power and love created me, making me in the image and likeness of God. Glory be to the Son, Who by His Precious Blood delivered me from hell, and opened for me the gates of heaven. Glory be to the Holy Spirit, Who has sanctified me in the sacrament of Baptism, and continues to sanctify me by the graces I receive daily from His bounty. Glory be to the Three adorable Persons of the Holy Trinity, now and forever. Today, is the Feast Day of my namesake St. Frederick "who called his flock to conversion" including the empress of the Roman Empire:  St. Frederick was the beloved bishop of Utrecht who challenged his flock—including the empress—to live a Christian way of life. Frederick was born around 780. Frederick was prepared for his pastoral vocation at a young age. He was ordained a priest and sent to a mission diocese in the northern region of the Netherlands and Germany. In the

There has been another sighting of the great St. Corbinians Bear in the Catholic Monitor comment section of this post " Do Black Lives Matter & Antifa have a Pedophile Problem?":   http://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2020/07/do-black-lives-matter-antifa-have.html?m=1 The Bear said… Frank, you are a machine! Good article. I split my day between an ephemeris article and novel writing. The first got really edgy. I set it aside for clarity’s sake, but it deals with some of the same issues. Let’s face it. We don’t have a Gulag Archipelago, but we do have a Blue Archipelago of urban moral sinkholes where gang violence is fueled by drugs from Mexico. The concept of fatherhood was exactly what I wanted to touch on. If there is a way to save cities, that’s the key. Many urban black people look around them and see failed cities. In East St. Louis (which made the roll of northern “cages” in Randy Newman’s 1974 song Rednecks on his excellent and perceptiv

St. Catherine of Sienna's first letter to Pope Gregory XI: "Oh, sweet and true knowledge... if he loves himself for his own sake and not for God - -he cannot do other than ill, and all virtue is dead in him. Such a one is like a woman who brings forth her sons dead." (The Letters of Saint Catherine of Sienna,  page 86) Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Pray an Our Father now that God gives President Trump the grace to do His will in this present COVID hysteria crisis and to be reelected.

The Epoch Times revealed that CEO Harmeet Dhillon of the Center for American Liberty filed a lawsuit against COVID tyrant Governor Gavin Newsom. The article reported: "'Criminalizing individual participation at a church, synagogue, mosque temple or. other houses of worship clearly violates the First Amendment,' Dhillon said. 'If a Californian is able to go to Costco... then he or she must be allowed to practice their faith using the same precautions.'" (Epoch Times, "Let's Reclaim What is Fundamental," April 16-22, 2020) Can autocrat governors be impeached for violating the First Amendment and "criminalizing individual participation" in religion? It is a fact that "each state's legislature can impeach state officials, including the governor." (Wikipedia, "Impeachment in the United States") This means that every Democrat and Republican governor who violated the First Amendment like Newsom is doing

Newsmax White House Correspondent Emerald Robinson said on Twitter that across the country that people who never took the COVID test are being "notified that they have tested positive." My brother said that here in California on Relevant Radio someone called in saying the exact same thing happened to them: Quote Tweet Emerald Robinson @EmeraldRobinson · 31m My DM's are flooded with people in various states (LA, TX, GA, TN, FL) telling me the same story: they signed up for the test & went to testing site but left early because of long lines. Despite not taking the test, they get notified later that they've tested positive. Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Mass and the Church as well as for the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart of the Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Francis said he wants to add "ecological sin" to the Ecological Pachamama Catechism  according to LifeSiteNews: "'We have to introduce―we are thinking about it―to the Catechism of the Catholic Church the sin against ecology, the 'ecological sin' against our common home, because a duty is at stake,' Pope Francis told his hearers. The Argentinian pontiff made the remark in a speech he gave today to the 20th World Congress of the International Association of Penal Law in Rome." [ https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pope-francis-proposes-adding-ecological-sin-against-common-home-to-catechism  ] I think his focus on only ecological sin is too narrow. He needs to bring everyone up to speed on all the new and improved Francis-sins for the Francis-confessional. Here is what that new and improved Francis-confession at the Francis-confessional might sound like: Bless me Father-Mother for I have sinned. It has been about four years since my last F

Flashback Catholic Monitor comment section debate in the 2009 Richard Salbato " How to Teach Purity" post with a homosexual that ended when the apparently pro-pedophile gay refused to respond these questions: " There are child abusers mixed in with with non-child abusers across cultures and history. Do you think child abuse is right because of this reason? Answer Yes or No There are persons who murder mixed in with with non-murdering persons across cultures and history. Do you think murder is right because of this reason? Answer Yes or No etc..." http://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-teach-purity.html?m=1 Anonysaurus Rex said… The apt title for this article should have been, "How to teach bigotry and misinformation: A Catholic's propagation of patently false opinions as though they were fact" So many unsubstantiated claims, presuppositions, logical errors (such as ipse dixit, circulus in proba
