FRANCIS’S BELOVED LULA REGIME GOES FULL FASCIST, ARRESTS GOSPEL SINGER FOR “WEARING BRAZILIAN FLAG”, 8 OTHER CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVES
CANCELING FAITHFUL GERMAN CATHOLICS ALONG WITH THE POLITICAL RIGHT: “SO THE ARGUMENTATION IS: ALL THOSE IN THE CHURCH WHO ARE TOO TRADITIONALLY MINDED ARE AS BAD AS THE AFD OR QUITE THE SAME IN GENERAL.”
OLD POLITICAL PLAYER, JAMES CARVILLE, ACTUALLY HONEST ABOUT HIS ‘CONVICTIONS.’
UNEMPLOYED ABP. GANSWEIN: “THE ORIENTATION TOWARDS THE EAST OR “VERSUS DOMINUM” – TOWARDS THE LORD – ALSO GIVES AN INNER GATHERING, WHICH IN MY OPINION TAKES NOTHING AT ALL AWAY FROM THE PRAYER OF THOSE WHO JOIN IN CELEBRATING HOLY MASS.”
ONE FRANCIS FIVE’S KENNEDY HALL CLAIMS TOO MUCH NEWS CAN KILL; BETTER TO REMAIN IGNORANT: “IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY CONSUMING NEGATIVE INFORMATION AND WORRYING ABOUT A COMING CALAMITY OR CRISIS, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A DEATH IN YOUR SOUL!”
“I AM SAYING THAT THE NEWS WILL MAKE YOU CRAZY IF YOU AREN’T CAREFUL, AND THE DESPAIR AND ADRENALINE THAT IT ENCOURAGES COULD KILL YOUR SOUL.”
‘PRUDENT NEWS CONSUMER’ KENNEDY HALL: ‘OVERCONSUMPTION LEADS TO AN OVERESTIMATION OF THE ENEMY, WHICH CAUSES STRESS AND ANXIETY THAT CAUSES US TO LOSE OUR STAMINA AND WITS’?!
FR Z AND MARSHALL MCLUHEN ON CHURCH ‘SOUND SYSTEMS’: “MICROPHONES. I AM NOT AGAINST MICROPHONES ACROSS THE BOARD. IT DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT AND THE MOMENT. BUT LET US UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING LOST WHEN THE MEDIUM HAS ITS OWN CONTENT.”
This is the proper manifestation of “obedience rightly ordered”, as distinct from “servile obedience”.

There is an hierarchy of authority in God’s Kingdom. No one in by God’s hierarchy is an autonomous autocrat, but rather has on loan to them immense power from God, commensurate with position, in the context of the perfect laws of the kingdom that govern both now and in eternity – in union with all others equally yoked to our Triune Head in one Holy Body. I submit to that authority totally and without reservation – under God, as if of God Himself.
Then there is obedience of the servile, the slave, the dictator, the autocrat. Who makes up rules according to personal whim and modern pleasures, tastes and fads. Who demands underlings do what they are told without connection to the Divine source of all legitimate power: God, Revelation, Tradition, Scripture, Dogma, Communion. I will never submit to illegitimate servile order, as if my eternal soul depends on it.
Carmel shows the way.
Salve Regina
Fort Worth, TX Bishop Olson said: “… one or more nuns might have incurred on Friday an excommunication, because of a “scandalous and schismatic” statement issued by a Carmelite monastery in Arlington, Texas.“

I’ve suspected for some time … the fateful choice of Arbp LeFebvre is coming for us all. There is no hiding from this crisis. Know what you believe because we will most likely all be required to profess publicly with everything on the line.
Once I read his story, I always admired Arbp LeFebvre for his calm convictions and willingness to be a martyr in such an unprecedented way. I always wondered, as with all that I admire – “what would I do?” We May soon find out. It appears the Nuns of Carmel already are.
Fr “Z” (Zuhlsdorf), ina useful article, apt observations, makes note of a “vertiginous drop” in Priestly vocations (“Number of Priestly Ordinations in Free Fall”). This troubles him.
https://wdtprs.com/2023/08/number-of-priestly-ordinations-in-free-fall/
– quote –
” … The numbers are dreadful, even for a pessimist. The results will be disastrous, given the present madness about synodality (“walking together-ity”) … To compensate for the lack of priests in Switzerland, they will not hesitate to call on lay people … It is now usual for lay people (in Switzerland) to exercise priestly functions: they preach; they preside over a liturgy of the Word which completely replaces the Mass; and they baptize and celebrate marriages.”
– end quote –
But he is referring to another kind of Church that *by the Conciliarist’s own definitions* is not the RC Church but NuChurch – “Nu” because *different than anything ever seen before* (by design), completely disconnected (by their own definitions) from Sacred Tradition and the Constant Church’s Magisterium, connected instead only to Vatican II traditions, current fads and Papal desires.
Why would I want and pray for strong, renewed vocations to this? Why would I want this to strengthen, advance and replace the RC Church established for all ages and eternity by Jesus Christ? I don’t. I want it to fail. I want the sacreliges, perversities, lay-led synodalities, idol worshipping and liturgical deviations of NuChurch to rot and die, disconnected as they are from the life-giving sap of the grace of God given only to his unchanging and pure Bride.
Fr Z then refers in his SSPX-linked article to another “vertiginous” line, this one reflecting other vocations, but this one is going the other direction – up … this line for Catholic Seminaries (true traditional Roman Catholic). Thanks be to God there is no problem finding strong young men to pursue their holy vocations to the Priesthood in these Seminaries. It seems that God’s grace protects and advances that which is God’s will – the true RC Church, Holy Bride of Christ.
And so, Fr Z concludes by exhorting us to “Pray for vocations”.
That I do – true vocations to the RC Church that will never change, nor can change, because She is already perfect and will remain so for eternity; vocations to the RC Church of Sacred Tradition and Her ancient Latin Liturgies and Sacramental formulas.
I do not pray for vocations to NuChurch. I pray that scourge will end.
