Christ founded one Church, gave it binding authority, and made it the only path to salvation. Scripture makes this quite clear. Are you listening to it?

A rite could nevertheless be approved which was less pleasing to God and which therefore (qua sacrifice not qua sacrament) brought less grace. This might mean *in practice* that a Christian community using it would not hold its ground against the world, the flesh and the devil.
Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.
Because it’s obvious sodomy is unnatural, destructive (to the soul and anatomically), and disgusting. And the more its nature is openly discussed, the more it becomes (rightly) reviled.
Of course, we love those who struggle with same-sex attraction and sins such as these. I am prone to my own set of sinful behavior, about which I must be ever-vigilant and repent if I fall. Those who would flatter me otherwise don’t “love” me—in truth, they hate me.
So I will never hate my brothers and sisters who struggle with such sins by supporting them in them.
Those who engage in sodomy and related sins are in the exact same boat as me: sinners in need of repentance. To embrace “pride” in such behaviors is, in truth, to hate sinners, not love them. It is to consign their souls to Satan.
True love says to that: “No.”
Today’s feast of Saint Charles Lwanga and Companions falls during what the luciferian and the confused call “pride month.” They are victims of a sodomite king because they refused sodomy. May the intercede for those suffering from that unnatural inclination.

Anyone who thinks the issue addressed by AL is *scandal* has not read the relevant passages. It undermines, without referencing (scandalously) Mt 19 and Casti Connubii 10.
It is without a doubt a break with tradition and the perennial magisterium.
The Spanish bishops have indeed thrown down a gauntlet.
Anyone with dual citizenship should be prohibited from holding federal appointed or elected office or any role in the U.S. government inside the United States.
Saint Marcellinus was a priest and Saint Peter an exorcist (one of the minor orders), who both lived in Rome and labored there under the cruel Emperor Diocletian. [Read more...]

St. Elmo’s fire is not just a film from 1985! “Sailors invoked [St. Erasmus’/St. Elmo’s]protection, and considered the blue electrical discharges which would sometimes appear on the masts or riggings of their ships as a sign of his protection.” Read more…

They carved Poland off the map four times, imposed their languages, suppressed their Church, and crushed their revolts. Poland refused to die. Charles Coulombe (@RCCoulombe) explains why it couldn’t.
