Our Faith and Home

  John 16:33 " I have told you this so that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world. ”   Recently, I began a break. With the advent of the SINodality my mind was being filled with, although much truth, criticism that was beginning to turn my brain to mush. The last video I watched was with Kennedy Hall. (Some of my favorite presenters include Kennedy Hall, Dr. Anthony Stine, and Ralph Martin.) In fact, in the video, Mr. Hall suggested with all the negative chatter amongst the church, perhaps a break my be in order. In my case, it was. You see, my loyalty lies in Holy Mother Church, Christ's Church. I get perplexed when I see or hear Catholics act or speak to the contrary. As an example, I reflect back to Exodus 40. In this chapter, the last chapter of the book, illustrates how Moses set up the tabernacle and where the Ark of the Covenant was to be placed and how it was to be handled. There is so much holiness

  1 Timothy 1:19 Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. Somewhere in the Vatican an apple has been offered. The promise, by accepting the apple, is to allow the October synod to be as God is. That is, to undermine nearly 2,000 years of Christ’s Deposit of Faith. I never thought I’d see such boldness by the leaders of the Church. We are witnessing a repeat of the events in the Garden of Eden.  We, my faithful friends, are in turbulent times. At a time where the world has gone mad, it appears Holy Mother Church is being attacked from within. When the Vatican is more focused on polygamy (allowing communion to divorced couples), blessings of same-sex unions and other sinful ways, while disregarding 1,990 years of Christ’s teachings, it creates the adversity we are now in. The Deposit of Faith is the truth of God's Revelation as expressed in  Sacred Script

Catholic Answers : Holiness is how we fight evil :  Thank you to our holy leaders! Thank you to all of the bishops, priests, all clergy, who are Standing up for the Teachings of The Catholic...

  Matthew 12:24 “You brood of vipers, how can you say good things when you are evil? For from the fullness  of  the heart the mouth speaks.” Matthew 23:33 “You serpents, you brood of vipers, how can you flee from the judgment  of  Gehenna?” The 2nd. annual conference for the Coalition of Canceled Priests was held the last weekend in June, 2023. The  riveting keynote  was delivered by Father James Altman: a holy and wise man. Unfortunately he is sidelined. If you aren’t familiar with Father Altman, or some of the other clergy of the coalition, you should understand that they are sidelined by taking up their crosses and speaking out FOR the Word of God. (If not familiar with Father Altman in particular, he gave a speech, in November 2020, that  You can’t be both a Catholic and Democrat .) Recently, Father Gerald Murray of EWTN and the co-author of “ Calming the Storm ”, visited our parish and spent a good deal of time speaking about the Synod of Synodality. If you’ve read the book and/or

  Proverbs 3:1-7 My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart. If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying. Never let loyalty and kindness leave you! Tie them around your neck as a reminder. Write them deep within your heart. Then you will find favor with both God and people, and you will earn a good reputation. Trust in the Lord with all your heart;  do not depend on your own understanding . Seek his will in all you do , and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom . Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.  ( my emphasis ) My wife and I meet Catholic friends of ours for breakfast each week. The gentleman, Bill, and I discuss many things, but primarily the current state of Mother Church. When breakfast is finished, and we say our goodbyes… jokingly admit that we have failed, once again, to save the world and the Church. Then I come home. There is little doubt that our belo
