Pope Francis continues to deliberately disrespect the Blessed Virgin Mary

… let us pause to consider for a moment the troubling words of the Holy Father when he states that Our Lady, with regards to her Son, “is more His disciple than His mother.” 

What does this mean? Is Our Lady less Mother of God and more mere disciple, like the rest of us? Or how else should we understand such a seeming semi-negation?

A simple faithful Catholic cannot but be disheartened and troubled by words such as these.

When we consider what the Church Tradition teaches us, that all the titles and honors which are given to the Blessed Virgin are rooted in her essential role as Mother of God, as taught in the Council of Ephesus in 431, how can we not be taken aback by such off-the-cuff remarks?

When we think, just a moment, of what Church history tells us of the great battle which was waged in order for this important dogma to be solemnly proclaimed, how can we not wonder how the likes of Saint Cyril of Alexandria would react to such a dismissive remark?

Considering the significance of this dogma for our Faith as a whole, how can such a careless remark not shock us or do anything other than pierce our hearts devoted to Our Lady’s Heart?

Editor’s note: This and more, uttered on the great Feast of the Annunciation, after many months of the ongoing, shameless, Pachamama idolatry, in the Vatican, by a “Judas Pope” who is also responsible for the outright betrayal of the Church in China, to the godless Communists.

Priest: Exorcisms now, often ineffective

… in a recent talk by Father Ripperger — a renowned Exorcist — he explained that prior to 1963, it was quite the norm that exorcisms would effect deliverance of the soul from diabolic possession in 2-3 days– 7 days at most.

But that beginning in 1963 “overnight…like someone threw a switch”, this was no longer the case, and that it began to take at least 10 months to 2 years of concerted priestly effort to effect deliverance.

Father Ripperger then goes on to say that now it is virtually impossible to effect deliverance of a soul from diabolic possession.

Father Ripperger also explained that this adverse impact on the efficacy of exorcisms is directly related to the state of the Church.

NOTE: the problem began right at the onset of Vatican II — overnight — and has only gotten worse and worse to the point of suppressing the efficacy of exorcisms altogether.

Essentially, the potency of the Church’s power to exorcise demons has now been reduced to virtual powerlessness against the demonic…because “one cannot cast out demons by Beelzebub” as Our Lord taught us.

Pope’s negative statement regarding homo unions was probably a necessary concession to his Muslim colleagues

The Pope’s recent visit to Iraq was mostly about economics and climate change. If Francis hopes to make any inroads on those fronts, he’ll have to “play ball” with the Muslims on homosexual issues. Quid Pro Quo. I think that’s a Latin term!

Praying Without Ceasing and the Language of Love

Watching my five-year-old grandson interact with my son,
a.k.a. “Daddy” close behind:

Entering unexplored territory:

“Daddy?”
“Yes, Theodore.”

Climbing up the ladder on a slide, which turned out to be a bit higher and steeper than it looked:

(Grunting) “D-a-d-d-y-?”
(Ready to catch him) “Y-e-s, Theodore.”

Emerging safe and victorious at the bottom of the same slide:

“Daddy!”
(Congratulating) “Yes! Theodore!”

Fording the shallow creek that runs through the area:

“Daddy?????”
(Watchfully) “Yes, Theodore!!!

Theodore wandering off limits:

“________”
(Daddy, somewhat sternly) “T-h-e-o-d-o-r-e ?!?!”

All tired out and ready to go home:

(Arms lifted up and out-stretched): “Daddy!?!”
(Taking Theo into his arms and carrying him home):
“Y-e-s-s-s, Theodore …”

1st Thessalonians 5:17  Pray without ceasing. 

Mark 10:15-16  Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter into it. And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

Galatians 4:6  And because you are sons, God hath sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father. (a.k.a. “Daddy”).

Eighty-six Catholic women from 25 countries issued a letter Monday opposing what they called “abortion-tainted” Covid-19 vaccines

“The evil of using aborted fetal cell lines involves not just the original murder, but the ongoing commercialization of the child’s body, as well as the ultimate refusal to bury his desecrated remains,”…

No priest of Jesus Christ, truly called, would ever bow down to a pagan idol and no Pope would ever tolerate it, let alone be present at it.

As you gaze upon this abomination that took place in St. Peter’s Basilica in October 2019, reflect for a moment on what has happened in the year and a half since. Think of the diabolical experimentation on bat viruses that leaked out from a laboratory in Wuhan whether accidentally or intentionally.

Think of the deaths of people, the suffering and the economic toll on hundreds of millions because of the actionsof a Satanic regime whom the man in white in the above photograph, and his minions, laud.

Remember, for a moment, how this malefactor, Bergoglio, sold out the faithful Catholics of China and how it has worked out for all Christians there since. It has not gone so “well.”

Think of the infringement of civil and religious rights imposed by our governments and worse, adhered to by our corrupt, weak, effeminate and ineffectual Shepherds.

Contemplate for a moment how the Bishop of Rome, the alleged successor of Saint Peter, the alleged Vicar of Christ, presided in the garden, as shown above, where people bowed down in worship to pagan idols.

Look at the backside of the Satanic priest in brown robes, a Franciscan, but not a son of St. Francis, more a son of Satan – for no priest of Jesus Christ truly called would ever bow down to a pagan idol and no Pope would ever tolerate it, let alone be present at it. 

Now consider this event, the actual enthronement by the Bishop of Rome of a symbol of the Pachamama idol on the High Altar of St. Peter’s Basilica, an altar over the very tomb of Peter and dedicated only for the re-presentation of the Sacrifice of Our Lord Jesus Christ, not the worship of a demon, “For all the gods of the Gentiles are demons but the LORD made the heavens.”

Tucker Carlson handily exposes the real reason behind the Dr. Seuss controversy

A reader comments: Tucker Carlson explained it perfectly. It is not that Dr. Seuss is racist, it is that he is anti-racist. Crucially, Dr. Seuss targets our children with these classic moral tales and … our children belong to the leftist hive. So, he is their greatest enemy because he is so effective at the level of a child.

Seuss’ The Sneetches show simply and profoundly how stupid racism is and how dumb it is to attach caste to a superficial thing (a star/skin color). The Sneetch star is racist when one side says it’s important but also racist when the other side identifies the star’s absence as important. Both are wrong, both are “racists”.

And that’s Theodore’s simple message: see the Sneetch beneath and not what he’s wearing on his chest (or not). The Dr. Seuss message of seeing the person and not their “badge” cuts to the CRT leftists’ quick, I think, and makes their conscience suffer. And that is why he (Seuss) must be cancelled.
