In my interview with the Editor, Jim Townsend, my position of “Apocalyptic Times” got changed to “Catholic scholar Saraceno predicts Apocalypse by 2000” For most of my adult life I worked on Sundays and as a result of the chaos of the 60’s I took up reading the Bible from cover to cover. I managed to keep a first Saturday commitment with the “Padre Pio Rosary group “in L.A. In the mid 60’s I found a job that had weekends off and I was back to Sunday Mass. In the bulletin they advertised Adult Catechism classes in the evening so I decided to enroll.
U.S. President Biden’s Embarrassing Literal Tete-a-Tete with the Marxist-Modernist Newpope Francis-Bergoglio Now Biden Has Awarded the Apostate The Presidential Medal of Freedom cum Laude What Is even More Embarrassing Are the Neocon Newprelates Like Vigano, Burke, Schneider, and Stickland Who Don’t Have the Guts To Call Newchurch a Fake Sect Like Luther’s And Most Certainly NOT the Catholic Church
Outgoing U.S. President J.R. Biden is well known for being a rabid supporter of LGBTQXXX ideology, anti-biological gender theory, abortion, infanticide, and uncontrolled invasion of national borders contrary to Catholic Thomistic theology. Biden also dares to call himself a “devout Catholic” at the same time that he is a Modernist apostate from the Catholic Faith and an outspoken proponent not only of abortion but the government funding thereof.
Biden’s true colors are blazing out in the last days of his evanescent administration (as if there were ever any doubt about his true character). The addled President, who had to cancel a junket to Newrome to do obeisance to the Modernist/Marxist Francis-Bergoglio, because of the Southern California wildfires that are raging out of control owing to Biden’s incompetent management, instead awarded to the apostate Newpope on January 11, 2025, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, with the novel added “cum laude” embellishment.
Normally reserved to U.S. citizens, Biden polluted the award to give it to the Marxist Argentinean, allegedly for “exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public, or private endeavors.” Biden particularly singled out Bergoglio for climate-control fanaticism and his religious “oecumenism,” the heresy that “we all worship the same gods” and “all religions are true,” including pagan religions that worship hundred-armed hermaphrodite gods. [Some information for this Commentary was contributed by the Catholic News Agency.]
Traditional Catholics, even Newarchbishop Carlo Vigano, recently “excommunicated” from Newchurch by Bergoglio, opined that Biden’s giving Bergoglio the Medal of Freedom “shows us whom they both really serve.” Was there ever any doubt? Vigano is representative of the Newchurch hierarchy that has played dumb for years. He still did not abandon Newchurch, but waited until Bergoglio took the initiative and Novus-Ordo “excommunicated” him. You can add to that Newhierarchical group Neocon Newprelates Newcardinal Ray “Bully” Burke, Newbishop Athanasius Schneider, and Newbishop Joseph Strickland. All these Neocon Newprelates run off at the mouth, but they don’t have the guts to do what St. Augustine, St. Eusebius, St. Basil the Great, St. Athanasius, and so many other great truly-Catholic Saints have done: denounced the heretic popes as fakes who were not to be recognized and obeyed.
There’s a lot of confusion, actually, about St. Valentine, whose feast we celebrate Friday.
.
The most popular legend places Valentine near Rome in the third century, during the reign of the Emperor Claudius III (nicknamed Claudius the Cruel). According to the story, Claudius sought to expand the Roman Empire and so needed a strong army to conquer new settlements. He was having trouble getting soldiers to join his military forces; and Claudius believed that this was because young men were unwilling to leave their wives and families. Therefore, the Emperor banned all marriages and engagements in Rome. (For Solders)
