Pope Francis should let Catholics pray like Catholics
A growing share of Americans—three in 10—identify as "none." Or, none of the above when asked about their religious affiliation. Houses of worship are emptying, and those still left in the pews probably expect their spiritual shepherds to welcome more prayer…
When Democrats call for “unity,” what the really want us to do is sacrifice our freedoms and our prosperity. When Liberal Christians (whether Catholics or Protestants) call for “unity” what they really want us to do is sacrifice our orthodoxy and our traditions. The word “unity” is a rallying cry for the Left (both political and religious) to coerce their opponents into surrendering the things they cherish most. I’ve been around for half a century folks, that’s long enough to learn about the Left, and the tricks of their trade.
We are now in the throes of the last, great “hurrah,” for the Catholic Church of the 1970s. The clergy ordained during that time, including Pope Francis, and the elderly laypeople who support them, will NOT let their era of folk masses and liberal theology quietly pass into the night. THIS, right now, is their final attempt to impose their legacy on the Church of tomorrow. It’s not working.
With the banning and suspension of Republican politicians in the US Congress, following the ban on President Trump, Twitter Is attempting to act on behalf of the Democratic Party, and has now become a shadow-arm of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Even liberal Pope Francis, the king of cancel when it comes to tradition, thinks today’s “Cancel Culture” is absolutely insane!

Pope Francis Laments ‘Cancel Culture’ in Annual Address to Diplomats
“As I have stated on other occasions, I consider this a form of ideological colonization, one that leaves no room for freedom of expression and is now taking the form of the ‘cancel culture’ invading many circles and public institutions.”

This is insane and stupid! It will also backfire! The Left has lost its collective mind, and gone the route of totalitarianism. There will be a political price to pay for this, and it will be steep! I am eagerly waiting to watch it happen. Tick Tock, Tick Tock...

Italy Strips Unvaxxed of Basic Human Rights
Italian bishops cheer tyranny; right-wing politicians capitulate to Draghi
Based on the information Project Veritas just put out, right before they were banned from Twitter, it looks like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is the product of joint American-Chinese research into “gain of function” experiments on bat viruses. Bottom line is this. The US and China made COVID-19 together!
This link contains evidence that the United States, working with Communist China, actually created COVID-19 and then tried to cover it up. This information is forbidden on Big Tech networks like Twitter and Facebook. Share this with as many people as possible, any way you can.

On the one hand, the case can be made in favor of this when we consider events like the Oklahoma City Bombing, the Unibomber and the Atlanta Olympics Bombing. One could even make the case of using such an office to break up Antifa. So, I get it. However, on the other hand, the potential for the abuse of such an office is so great, I’m not sure it’s even possible to avoid. So that’s frightening.

Justice Dept. creating unit focused on domestic terrorism
The Justice Department is establishing a specialized unit focused on domestic terrorism, the department's top national security official told lawmakers Tuesday as he described an "elevated" threat from violent extremists in the United States.
FoxNews now has more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined! Now, I’m not cheerleading for FoxNews. I don’t watch television. So this means nothing to me on a personal level. However, I do recognize that this represents a fundamental paradigm shift for the average, American, couch potato. We are it the process if witnessing a dramatic tilt to the center-right for the whole nation, and the national viewing shift toward FoxNews reflects that. It’s not where we need to be, as a nation, but it is a baby-step in the right direction.

Is the Cardinal Catholic?
The verdict is out
I am thankful to have come to spiritual maturity in the Catholic Church during a time when we had good popes who were orthodox. Pope Saint John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI (especially the latter) brought me happiness and pride in my Church. I long for those days again.
Pope Francis has killed all traces of ultramontanism among orthodox Catholics in the Church, and that is probably a very good thing.

Clerical political conception within the Catholic Church
What the 2020s have produced in me...
1.) Zero trust in all branches and departments of the federal government, and that includes federal elections.
2.) Zero trust in big corporations.
3.) Zero trust in the mainstream media.
4.) Zero trust in all Liberals.
5.) Zero trust in conservative talk personalities both on the radio and the Internet.
6.) Zero trust in the Vatican.
7.) Zero trust in the top leaders of the Catholic Church.
8.) Zero trust in all Evangelical megachurch pastors.
9.) Zero trust in popular society and my fellow Americans.
In just two years, I've gone from guarded trust to zero trust for all of these things. That's quite an accomplishment. My circle of trust is pretty small now. I've got my immediate family, a few extended family members, my closest friends, my priest and by own bishop (only because I know him and have spent some time with him). That's pretty much it. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I'm also sure our civilization cannot survive in a society where a growing number of people feel as I do. It's kind of sad really.
I suppose Church, government and media entities could try to repair the damage in future generations, but as for me and my age group (Gen-X), the trust is gone, and it's never coming back.

If Europe does not return to Christendom, then Europe will return to totalitarianism, over and over again, just as we are watching it happen right now.
If the United States does not move toward Christendom, then the United States will move toward totalitarianism, just like Australia is doing right now. Some American states are not far behind.
It’s a very simple proposition. People of European heritage, whether ethnic or cultural, are of Christendom. It is their natural home and state of being. Remove them from it, as the 20th Century has done, and they will gravitate toward totalitarianism in one form or another. Liberate them from totalitarianism, but fail to return them to Christendom, and they will gravitate back toward totalitarianism over and over again, forever, until the error is finally corrected.

Déjà vu, I am reliving this whole thing from my teen years all over again. I predict, if we see a repeat of the early 1980s (or worse), we will see the end of change coins within just few years. Everything will be rounded up to the nearest dollar, because quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies will be worthless. American coins will become strictly collectable items, completely detached from the U.S. economy.
