Please read this article carefully, as it is being misreported on social media. According to the article itself, the former pope did not lie. He is admitting to an error in a previous statement, which has clearly come to light in the editing process of his previous statement, and a full explanation is forth coming. It literally was a bureaucratic oversight. The fact remains, nobody in the entire Catholic Church did more to prosecute and remove sexual abusers than Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI). That is why the religious and political Left hate him so much, and want to bring him down.

The article brings to light something many Faithful Catholic have known for years. Reading between the lines, a familiar theme unfolds. Large mega-dioceses (archdiocese) are completely and totally unmanageable. Upon becoming an archbishop, the bishop ends up ceasing to be a pastor and shepherd, and ends up becoming a chief bureaucrat of a major bureaucracy. So long as the mega-diocese (archdiocese) model continues, the Catholic Church will be forever plagued by sexual abusers, thieves and other unsavory people slipping between the cracks of these mega-corporate structures. We must do away with the archdiocese model, break them up, and put local bishops more closely in control of their local dioceses, which might in some cases consist of only a few neighborhoods of a big city.

The United States is sending troops to Eastern Europe, and NATO is calling up ships and planes, to prepare for an "imminent" attack on Ukraine by Russia. We are now in the process of recalling our embassy personnel from Ukraine, and the U.S. State Department is urging all Americans to evacuate the nation. Meanwhile, China continues to make aggressive moves toward Taiwan. We may be on the cusp of World War III.

The time has come for cooler heads to prevail on both fronts. The United States can defend Taiwan, but I don't think we can effectively defend Ukraine without setting off a wider conflict. War with China makes sense, because the Chinese government is ideologically opposed to everything the West stands for. The CCP is an existential threat to the West and the world. This cannot be said of Russia. Putin may be playing the role of a dictator, but he is not ideologically opposed to Christianity, Capitalism or Democracy. China is. Our leaders need to think this through. Do we really want to fight two wars on two fronts, just like we did during World War II? And I shouldn't need to point out that in the wake of modern warfare and nuclear weapons, World War II is going to look like child's play in comparison.

Per my request, my book is now under review by four very conservative and orthodox Catholic priests. One of them is a Traditional Latin Mass priest. The other three are English Patrimony Ordinariate. So far, the reviews are VERY positive.
Commies don't give a crap if you're Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant or Nondenominational. They have only one word for us all -- Christians -- and they want us all DEAD. We would do well to always keep this in mind. We best hang together, or we will all hang separately.

In a nuclear war, even if you win, you lose. This escalation with the Russians in Ukraine is insanity. It has to stop. Now!

This is a "black and white" issue. The Sacrament of Holy Orders can only be given to biological males. That's it. Any biological female who has intentionally (or unintentionally) gone through the ceremony of ordination, is not ordained, is not clergy, and cannot confect any of the sacraments outside of baptism. Any mass where a biological female serves as a deacon is sacrilegious. No Catholic can attend such a mass in good conscience. Any mass where a biological female serves as a priest is automatically invalid. It is not a mass. The Eucharist has not been consecrated, and all Catholics who attend have NOT met their Sunday obligation. In addition, they have attended a blasphemous mockery of the mass, not an actual mass. Keep this in mind for the future. If you see a woman in the sanctuary, dressed in any liturgical vestments, get up and walk out. You might just save your soul.

I'm actually surprised the SSPX hasn't written an open letter to Pope Francis saying "thank you for all the new business." Traditionis Custodes has been a boom for the SSPX in Anglo America, and I imagine the same is true in Latin America and Europe. Reports are coming in all over the places, through various backchannels, that there has been a surge in attendance among SSPX chapels. Rumors are beginning to circulate that the society may need to consecrate new bishops soon, just to keep up with the explosive growth. Pope Francis has unwittingly become the savior of the SSPX, and the greatest expanse of growth the Society has ever seen.

Maybe this is why Biden wants to bang on the war drums with Russia over Ukraine. He's got to get our attention off of his latest failure...

Why are Democrats such warmongers these days? They’re making neocon Republicans look like peacenik hippies now.
For the record, I oppose antisemitism and anti-Jewish sentiments. I am a small part Jewish, but that’s not the reason why. I oppose these things because I am a Catholic Christian, and the Catholic Church forbids them. You can read more about my position here: https://completechristianity.blog/2021/12/21/against-the-antisemites/
Aside from anecdotal stories, popular culture, rumors, word-of-mouth, and unsupported claims of "cure" without medical records to support it, actual scientific/medical studies on the use of Ivermectin (IVM) in the treatment of COVID-19, have proved no benefit whatsoever. It is not an FDA approved treatment in the United States for a reason. These are the types to studies that American medicine has used for decades to determine effectiveness of drugs and therapy. The entire US medical industry is built on hard scientific studies like these.

If people want to abandon science and go with folk medicine instead (medicine based on rumors and word-of-mouth) then that's cool. This is America! People can do whatever they want. They have clinics all over for that sort of thing, and anybody has a right to go there. I support their rights and I am most certainly not going to shame them for it. I don't agree with it, but my opinion doesn't matter when it comes to the rights of others.

That said, the American medical system is based on SCIENCE not folk cures. If a drug or therapy passes the scientific test, then the American medical system will use it. If it doesn't, it won't. It's always been that way, for over a century, so I don't know why so many people are getting so upset with American medicine now. If you don't like American medicine, by all means, don't use it. Go to folk medicine clinics instead. This is America! There are plenty here.

There is a tremendous amount of hysteria out there, on BOTH SIDES of the COVID and vaccine debates. If we Christians want to maintain any long-term credibility, we’re going to have to avoid this. I’ve written about this extensively here: https://completechristianity.blog/2021/08/31/covid-19-christianity-and-common-sense/
This is going to be a fun read. As many of you know, I am a devout follower of the English Patrimony within the Ordinariates of the Catholic Church. I’ve long believed that the key to the survival of English-speaking people in North America is to STOP focusing so much on America as a proposition state, and START focusing more on our English Patrimony, which is rooted more deeply in our language, customs, culture and heritage (both ethnic and adopted). That means we’ve got to dig into our English roots. This includes Catholics as well as Protestants. It’s time to put the modern divisions behind us. We have a common ancestry, whether we like it or not. Not long ago, every English-speaking man, woman and child prayed to the Virgin Mary. That’s just as much a part of your heritage as it is mine. It’s something we should ALL be interested in. Ignorance of history is cultural amnesia.
Is the COVID-19 vaccine the Mark of the Beast???? Nah. Probably not.

Presuming Republicans retake the House in November, and conventional wisdom says they will, we can expect Joe Biden to be impeached by this time next year (late January to early February of 2023).

Remember, impeachment doesn’t really mean anything anymore. It’s just a political tool. That’s all it is. Nothing more. The Republicans will use it against Biden, just like the Democrats used it against Trump. So it will be with all future presidents going forward, indefinitely, until the American Republic finally burns like Rome did. We are witnessing the decline and fall of the United States of America.

That said, I support the future impeachment of Biden. What’s good for the goose… you know. Turnabout is fair play. The Republic is already doomed anyway. So we might as well revel in watching the political Left squeal a little.
You see, this is really very simple. All you have to do is prove (using history, facts and reason) that Jesus Christ is not God. He said he was God. So if you can prove him a liar, or a lunatic, then you win! Jesus means nothing to you, and you can walk away, because you’ll be free of him. But if you can’t prove he was a liar, or a lunatic, then you’ll have to explain why a man can say he’s God, and you can’t disprove it. That, would be a very awkward situation, wouldn’t it? You might have to consider what it means to say he is Lord.
Jesus was not a woke hippy. He was a based badass. The religious leaders of his day were frightened of him. The dude not only threatened their power, he cured the sick and raised the dead in his spare time. He was freaking terrifying!
Here we have the two biggest problems in the world, and the answer is literally between them.
Well folks, I said Telegram was an experiment when I started this account. I’m going to move away from this platform over the next week or two. I’ve found that Gab and MeWe are my most reliable social media platforms, that provide me with the largest audience. I suggest following me on one of those platforms if you aren’t already.
