For those of you who are not aware of my role as a Traditional Catholic for the last 48 years.
Briefly: In the old testament we had High Priests and Prophets.The High Priest would speak for God on matters of faith and the Church. Prophets were called upon to keep everyone in line or not living up to their responsibilities,so in this sense you have Two people speaking in the place of God. Continue reading
It’s never really been that way from the beginning. The State violates the First Amendment every time it grants a divorce to someone who was married in a Religious Institution. The Religious Institutions don’t sue because the State provides subsidies to the these Institutions.This being the case if a Religious School wants to exclude Secular People from admission to their Schools they have the right to do so, providing they do not accept state subsides. End of Story.

Yesterday, 1,800 signatures were collected against the Islamic place of worship – the number needed for a vote to take place.
Italian journalist and politician Magdi Allam called the referendum “the Italian revolution” and he said Pisans did not expect to get 1,800 signatures.
Vice-chairman of the committee against the construction of the new mosque, Gianluca Gambini, said: “And we will not stop here – because we expect to get to a higher number of signatures, at least two thousand, to avoid problems with the council. MORE
A few years ago, relatively early on in the war against ISIS, I was smuggled into Northern Syria along a PKK re-supply route. Taking a small inflatable boat across the river which acted as the border between Syria and Iraq, my first stop in the Kurdish held areas of Syria (known as Rojava) was a military outpost called Derik.

A drought in northern Paraguay has driven thousands of thirsty alligators to crowd around lakes and wells, scaring off cattle from the dwindling water sources, environmentalists and locals say.
A former Marine faces a rare federal stalking charge for what the FBI alleges was a campaign of harassment and threats against the Catholic Diocese of Knoxville and its parishes, carried out from a boat in California.
David Andrew Webb, 40, was arrested last month in Chula Vista, Calif., where he had been living on the boat, on a sealed complaint filed by FBI Agent David Bukowski charging him with stalking and a related sealed indictment charging Webb with using a phone to “engage in a course of conduct that caused substantial emotional distress to the victims and placed them in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury.” MORE
The recent hack of George Soros’ “charitable” giving revealed nothing new. The man who told journalist Steve Kroft in a televised interview that roaming the streets of Budapest with his faux godfather to confiscate the property of his fellow Jews for the Nazis was the most exhilarating time of his life has long had a problem with both his Jewish roots and the creation of a Jewish state.

On August 11 I received a grave prognosis. I have a cancerous tumor in my colon and the cancer has spread to the diertinium.

One of these multifarious modern-day “apparitions” is what is known as Garabandal, named for a remote village in Northern Spain, which purportedly received thousands of “apparitions” at about the time of the Vatican II Anti-council in the 1960s. Even Newchurch has essentially rejected the “apparitions,” which have been described as “childish stunts and simple tricks,” much as those at Medjugorje, Bayside, and other locales. Continue reading
(RNS) Nearly 500 years after Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the Castle Church door, the largest Lutheran denomination in the U.S. has approved a declaration recognizing “there are no longer church-dividing issues” on many points with the Roman Catholic Church. MORE
74 Pages *** The following account is not based on a true story. It is a true story. One can disagree with the overall hypothesis and conclusions, of course, but the data points and events witnessed are all presented factually, with neither embellishment nor omission. Only the names, dates and places have been altered. The use of pseudonyms serves only one purpose, namely, to shield the author’s 94 year-old father from the harsh reality that his wife of 65 years was (in this author’s strongly-held opinion) deliberately, unnecessarily, callously and deceptively railroaded into her grave.

If the Right did this they would be asked to resign, but the Left gets away with stuff like this and with no remorse.
