I'm going to pause my series on the Baltimore meeting to present a politically-oriented video from Michael Matt. Notice a theme running through it: that the Church, largely because of this dubious papacy, has frittered away its moral credibility. No decent candidate can rely on the Church to support him or her as they try to stop the train wreck that is now happening in the US and western society. The Archdiocese of Baltimore Social Ministry Debacle is a prime example; at least two of its workshops were addressed by perverts. I'll have more details in a day or so. As the Church goes, so goes the world.

Restore Jesus Christ To His Rightful Place In Secular Society
This video from Michael Matt deserves careful consideration. I have been a pro-life activist for several decades now. While it is important to continue to fight abortion - for babies need to be saved now - we need to address the root causes of this and many other malaises. HOWEVER - if we focus solely on abortion, or the gay agenda or any other manifestations of the expulsion of God and the Church from public life, we will be fighting these ills till the day we die with scant progress being made.
Whether or not we worship God according to His dictates made through His Church will determine whether or not we see reverence for life return to our society. An authentic reverence for life is simply a subset to a reverence for God and the honoring of God as Lord of public as well as private life.

A Tale Of Two Vastly Different Masses
At long last, the third part of the Mass of the Ages trilogy has been released. I posted both of the earlier episodes in previous posts, but that was several years ago. You can watch the entire trilogy at the Mass of the Ages website. I strongly urge that you do so, especially if you haven't yet seen the earlier ones. Below this clip I will tell you of the other type of Mass.

Coming Soon To A Parish Near You? Prepare NOW!
Thanks to Canon 212, I read of the debacle of a funeral Mass offered in Atlanta GA for the pastor of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in the Archdiocese of Atlanta (not DC, but Atlanta). His name is Henry Gracz, a progressive who was often taken to task by faithful Catholic social media outlets. Of course the Not-At-All Catholic Reporter gushed all over him. The progressive rag published a statement sent to them regarding Gracz written by DC's Cardinal Gregory. Recall that, prior to his transfer to DC, Gregory was archbishop of Atlanta and would have been quite familiar to him. Graca was accurately celebrated for "welcoming" LGTBetc people. That is to say, he coddled their mortal sins. That is a mindset shared by Cardinal Gregory, as evidence by Gregory himself. During one of Gregory's first outreaches after his move to DC, he sang the praises of Fortunate Families, a gay-enabling organization. He also equated "sexual orientation" as just another characteristic as are race or nationality in a Catholic Standard article. For other indiscretions committed by Gregory, see this anthology of previous posts.
But let's get back to this funeral Mass, at which both Archbishop Hartmayer and Cardinal Gregory concelebrated. Both the Remnant and Gloria.TV reveal that two of the "altar servers" are in fact males that are in the process of mutilating themselves to pretend that they're female. Both in fact have been active in perversion promotions. One of them, in a recent local Pride parade, carried the Shrine's banner. I daresay that he most likely had Gracz's approval. By the way - we must pray for Gracz's soul, for a prelate to condone and promote such sin does not at all bode well regarding his eternal salvation.
Now here is a question that we should now address, for this bodes ill for the Archdiocese of Washington. Will this man Cardinal Gregory be foisting upon some DC-area pastor to inherently sinful demand to allow perverts to receive Holy Communion and even occupy key roles in our Masses and other church functions? If so, what are we, that is, YOU AND I, prepared to do about it? Think long and hard about that. Confer with your friends about it. I suspect this will come a lot sooner than we may have anticipated.

Join This Nine-Month Novena For The Salvation Of Souls
Cardinal Raymond Burke authored a nine-month novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe, asking her intercession upon our very troubled and sin-sick world. It commenced today and is to be prayed everyday until December 12, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I reproduce it below. Copy it, share it, and get all your friends to join you in prayer.

The March 7 SOTU Address - Or Shilling For The Dead-Beat Vote
To augment my Lenten mortification, I decided to watch the recording of Biden's little screed. Just an FYI, I watched it as it appeared on the White House's site, so no mean old right-wingers tampered with it!
I will leave off (for now) the demonic pledge to further normalize child-slaughter in our legal landscape, along with sexual perversions of every sort. Obviously that came as no surprise. I will touch upon one thing that shows his contempt for the average American citizen as he vowed to facilitate financially irresponsible behavior.
He pretended to champion the plight of impovershed people as he pledged to have late payment fees on credit cards slashed drastically. Now no one likes paying late fees on their bills, but may I suggest a simpler way to avoid them? Brace yourselves, for this is probably a revolutionary and certainly controversial concept! Ready? Here it is!
PAY YOUR BILL ON TIME!
If you do that, you'll pay zero dollars in late fees. Thank me very much!
Anyone who signs up for a credit card agrees to the terms, and those terms include the provisions for late fees, interest, etc IF the card issuers don't receive timely payment. Stop whining and crying if you're late, in violation of your agreement, and are levied the penalties. Put on your big-boy/big-girl/big-whatever-mythical-gender-or-species-you-fancy-yourself-to-be pants and pay up. Take your lumps like an adult and learn from your mistakes.
But Plugs wants to coddle the late-payers. Does he really think the card issuers will just swallow the lost revenue? Of course not. No business can survive without recovering their costs. They'll just increase the merchant discount fees and those merchantes will, in turn, pass those costs onto all their innocent customers. I know I'm bursting some fantasy-bubbles here, but that's life in the real world.
Of course, Plugs and his progressive sycofants don't deal with reality. That's just another reason to vote them all out of office come November.
That means that we don't sit out this election, for the progressives and their dead-beat dependents won't.

Cocaine Cocco Chumming It Up With Freemasons
A few weeks ago, Cardinal Coccopalmerio (yes, him!) took part in a Masonic conference between three Italian Masonic lodges. Now he's jibber-jabbering about "permanent dialog" between the Church and the Masons. The Church has always condemned Freemasonry, owing to the latter's various idolatries and general animus against the Catholic Church and the One True Faith that she possesses and preaches.
Nothing, NOTHING has changed. Recall that at the Second Vatican Council, it was Archbishop Bugnini, secretly a Mason, who engineered the butchery of the Mass and other Sacraments, resulting in the extremely compromised Sacramental rites that we have today.
Because of the drug-orgy in which his officials engaged six years ago, the cardinal has earned the nickname "Cocaine Cocco". Anyway, he was not the only prelate at that Masonic conference. Bishop Antonio Stagliano, president of the Pontifical Academy of Theology, was also present. He came out of that meeting stating that Catholicism and Freemasonry are absolutely incompatible. He stated that masonry is aligned with the Arian heresy, for they held that Christ is nothing more than a "great architect of the universe". They deny Jesus' divinity.
However, Stagliano engaged in some verbal gymnastics, using thinking that is the basis for Fiducia Supplicans. You see, one does not bless Freemasonry, but individual Masons can be blessed. That is that little workaround, in their eyes.
I've written of the dangers of Freemasonry in the past. Msgr Charles Pope, a local priest who is involved with deliverance ministry, warns of the spiritual dangers that come with fraternizing with Freemasonry. The spiritual dangers stem in large part from masonic curses, rendering one vulnerable to demonic activity. Several exorcists speak of cases of demonic possession or obsession that stem from masonic curses, some going back many generations in one's family.
Now it seems that Francis wants to mainstream it into the Church, just as he's trying to do with "gay blessings", adulterers coming to Holy Communion, etc.
