Socon or Bust continues to warn the Faithful about believing in Medjugorge.

Great write up about Mahony here.

Here’s the real problem: when Catholic priests and bishops stopped being priests and bishops and stopped acting like Catholics should have acted, and when they became secular professionals who didn’t have any skin in the salvation and morality game, that’s when the wheels fell off of the truck.

Professionals. Pseudo psychologists. Human resource managers.

There is the problem right there.

Chinese family planning officials ran over a 13-month old baby with a small bus after they feuded with a Chinese resident over fines related to the birth of the child, born outside China’s one-child policy….(Source)

Inside the womb, outside the womb…what’s the difference?  Just cut down the number of babies born to a couple to 1. That’s what’s important.  Chinese pro-abort thugs.

Don’t look for comfortable media clerics to lead the charge.  Look for these….

It’s so rugged and Canadian, eh?  It’s got such a ”Jean de Brébeuf” feel to it, n’est-ce pas?

Queenship of Mary - where the real action is in the New Evangelization.

Got to get us some of that!

I wonder if the CanChurch will pull another Judas on us.  Time will tell.

I also wonder if they’ve stopped taking the heavy drugs that they were on when they got Routhier to testify on their behalf.

Still no apology from the bishops for their betrayal, as per the standard operating procedures.  Bishops grovel over the ranking of which politically correct issue they should apologize about, but when it comes to PROFOUND ISSUES like human life and Catholic education, a simple “sorry” is not in their vocabulary.

This is another very good reason to dissolve Episcopal Conferences, or at the very least, prohibit them from speaking on anything important unless they have the Pope’s direct approval.

Should be canonized immediately.  And let the liberals pound dirt.

Pius XII has been defamed long enough!  Justice now!  And a recognition that Pius XII was the greatest friend of the Jewish people!

Sorry, but by my books, neither JPII, nor John XXIII, nor Paul VI (however wonderful these Pope might have been) deserve to be canonized before Pius XII.

If the Vatican would just stop listening to liberal Jews and liberals in general and start to affirm its own heritage and the historical record, and canonize this man, it would be a strong sign that the Catholic Church is serious about the Faith and its Tradition again.

Justice now.

Here.

Have you ever heard of the Feminist movement attacking Islamism?  No.

That’s because they hate Christianity and will support. no matter what or who, Christianity’s enemies.

Weak Christianity means weak West and strong Islam = Feminism’s fault.

Here’s another little example of what’s going to happen because men were cowed into letting the Feminists have their way.

And all for what? Sterilized sex. That’s what.

…Since then, my life has changed considerably. Up until now, I am still trying to understand how it is possible for euthanasia to be performed on physically healthy people without even contacting their children….(Source)

The triumph of raw will over reason and love.  No, there is absolutely no generation preceding this one which is more perverse and wicked.

This would look really hipster on Parliament Hill.

The Cassock is coming back.

I also see the cassock as the vestment of the younger generation of priest. I  celebrate and welcome that generation! Good on them for wanting to wear the  cassock often. However, at my old age, I’d look that old guy wearing  Abercrombie. No one said I couldn’t but when I do, I probably shouldn’t. It’s  like being that hanger-on guy who goes out to Proud Larry’s and lets you know he  still ROCKS! But when he rocked, he rocked Van Halen. You rock Mumford and Sons.  Totally not the same universe.

Rock N Roll is a little bit like Catholicism. Either do it right, or don’t do it at all.

One incident which exemplifies the antagonism occurred in 2005 while Cardinal Mahony was holding an inauguration for a pro-abortion mayor in the Cathedral, young pro-life Catholics who were prayerfully protesting outside the Cathedral were removed and threatened with arrest by Cathedral security.

Lawler added: “It’s very long overdue. The big story is that one bishop made a public fraternal correction on another, which has not happened before. It’s amazing it hasn’t happened given the damage that’s been done. But at last it has and I think it’s awfully healthy.” (Source)

It is, at the same time, both encouraging and pathetic.  But you see, folks, in CanChurch and AmChurch, these sorts of things are not done typically because, you know, “unity, fraternity, and tranquility” are Aces and Queens compared to the Deuces of fidelity and truth.

The bishop on the right was principally responsible for the disaster that has befallen AmChurch.

Archbishop Jean Jadot, Pope Paul VI’s apostolic delegate to the United States from 1973-1980, has no regrets about the spate of bad bishops he inflicted on the Catholics of this country….(Source)

A “man of the people” as the phrase is understood today, I have no doubt.  But was he faithful to his commission? Not quite.

Just goes to show that when Rome let’s its guard down, there can be major damage.

Don’t you just love how an old nun beat a progressive bishop?

In the Catholic Church, real power has nothing to do with your male appendage or your pointy hat.

Because marriage can actually mean something.

Opposition to The Jackboot Sometimes Pays Off

An eight-minute segment on Monday night reached a turning point when CNN host Erin Burnett exclaimed: “That baby was 8 pounds, 2 ounces. He was going to be born in a couple of days. How could you not define that as a person? That is a viable life.” (Source)

Now, now. Careful what you say.  You have to remember how the pro-aborts will feel about that.  After all, if a few lives have to be sacrificed to keep abortion legal, then that’s the way it’s gonna be.

LOS ANGELES – Cardinal Roger Mahony, who retired with a tainted career after dodging criminal charges over how he handled pedophile priests, was stripped of his archdiocese duties in an unprecedented move by his successor, who described the actions by abusive priests described in the files as evil.

This story puts a zing in my step.   The days of the lavender mafia and cover-ups are coming to an end.  Let’s hope the Borgs (National Episcopal Conferences) follow suit.  The hand holding and cumbaya theology that perpetuates them is ending, thanks be to God.

I hope this serves as a stark warning to CanChurch.   If you’re not living the Catholic faith or playing fast and loose with the Church’s teachings, you could be out.
