Now, THIS is a step in the right direction. We cannot become a Pro-Life state unless we are willing to PAY for it, by taking care of mothers and their children AFTER they are born.

Eastern Catholics are generally satisfied with their liturgy. English Patrimony Catholics, within the ordinariates created for them, are generally satisfied with their liturgy too. In neither of these two groups do we see a large push to change and return to an older way of doing things. Only in the mainstream Roman Rite of the Church is this the case. Logic dictates, that if after 50 years, there is still resistance to liturgical changes, it can safely be assumed that something about those liturgical changes is flawed.

I have long held to the position that the mainstream Roman Rite should simply return to the older forms of the liturgy, which were common prior to 1970, and the Missal of Pope Paul VI (1970 Missal) should be dumped entirely. However, in accordance with Vatican II, these older liturgical books should be translated into modern vernacular languages, maintaining a small amount of Latin (here and there) so as to keep the Faithful connected to their Latin Rite heritage.

I believe there is room, in the Old Mass, for the new expanded lectionary, as well as allowing laypeople to read from the epistles as they currently do in the New Mass. Yet at the same time, provision can be made for those few parishes that wish to keep the Liturgy of the Word (Mass of the Catechumens) as it was prior to 1970. I believe this is the ONLY WAY to solve the liturgical crisis that now plagues the mainstream Roman Rite of the Catholic Church.

The book is coming along nicely. Final editing is nearly complete. I don't know if we'll make the publication date of January 31, or if we'll have to push it back some. If you want it by the end of the month, PRAY. Our Lord and Our Lady can do amazing things! So just pray and see what happens.

The increases appear to be regionally related more than anything else, and cross all political, ideological and religious lines. So it can neither be COVID nor vaccine related. I’m inclined to say, at this point, there is a psychological or behavioral element at play here. Substance abuse? Lack of self care? I will be curious to see as we learn more.

Latin Mass Catholics, in dioceses without strong episcopal support, appear to be going in two main directions. The most hardcore Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) devotees are going to the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). The more casual TLM devotees are going over to the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter (OCSP). This is the English Patrimony Mass (EPM). Both the SSPX and OCSP parishes are seeing a significant bump in new members right now.

If you're looking for an American political party that is based on Catholic Church teaching, this is it. I am a member. Now being a member doesn't mean you can only vote for people of this party, anymore than being a Republican means you always have to vote Republican. What it really means is simply this. Regardless of whoever you end up voting for in a particular election, by joining this party you've at least chosen to align yourself (on paper) with a party that closely reflects your religious values...

January 6 was not an “insurrection,” and it’s comical that the political Left would even suggest it was. It shows they don’t even know what an insurrection is, and they have poor command of the English Language. What happened on January 6, 2001 was a lawful protest that turned into an illegal riot. The vandals and trespassers into the Capitol Building were unorganized, unarmed and didn’t know what to do once they got inside. The overwhelming majority just walked around and took selfies. The only people killed were two unarmed Trump supporters. Some “insurrection!” 😂

There is a high degree of probability that the pope has just received a large exposure to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. If so, it is possible the pope could experience severe symptoms in spite of his vaccination status, due to his age and comorbidities. If it is true, however, that the pope does have cancer, as some have speculated, then it is likely the vaccine will have zero protective effectiveness.

Shocking new video analysis shows that Ashli Babbit was trying to stop rioters from breaching deeper into the capitol building, when police officers abandoned their posts, she feared for her safety from the rioters, and was actually jumping through the window to get away from them, when she was shot by capitol police...
