@bannedpastor@ElijahSchaffer When an exorcism is needed to cast out demons, people call a Catholic priests.
When Protestants say they are saved , what does that mean, if they aren't saints alive in Heaven? The Catholic mass is in communion with the living saints in Heaven & us, sinners here on earth. 🙏🏽
Something unspeakably vile took place other day – a scene aired on a streaming platform (Apple TV+) in the show “Friends and Neighbors” portrayed actors breaking into a Catholic church, stealing the consecrated Hosts from the tabernacle, mocking the Eucharist as “the Body of Christ,” dipping the consecrated Host in jam like a snack, simulating Communion, and then committing a sexual act in the pews.
This is is not art. This is not edgy satire. This is sacrilege – brazen, calculated, and demonic.
The Holy Eucharist is not a symbol. It is not a dramatic prop. It is not cultural furniture for a godless script. The Most Holy Eucharist is Jesus Christ Himself – Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. To violate Him in this way is to crucify Him anew. As the Apostle warns:
“Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord” (I Cor. 11:27).
The silence of Catholics in the face of such desecration would itself be a sin. We cannot, and will not, be silent.
To the producers and platform executives who permitted this blasphemy: You have desecrated the holiest mystery on earth. What you treat as entertainment is what the saints and martyrs died to defend.
To the faithful: I urge you to pray in reparation. Offer a Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament. Attend Mass. Pray the Rosary with the specific intention of making reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so grievously wounded again.
And yes, I urge you to remove your support from platforms that mock and defile our Lord. If they will not stop, we must walk away. Christ is not for sale. His Church is not for spectacle. And His Eucharistic Heart is not a script device for ratings.
Let us remember the words of Pope Pius XII:
“The sin of the century is the loss of the sense of sin.”
We see it now in full display. But we also know this: “God is not mocked” (Galatians 6:7). He will not be silent forever. And until then, His Church must not be silent either.
Let our cry rise to heaven with the voice of the Psalmist:
“For the zeal of Thy house hath eaten me up: and the reproaches of them that reproached Thee are fallen upon me” (Ps. 68:10).
To Christ in the Eucharist: we offer our sorrow. To the world: we offer our witness. To the perpetrators: we say – repent, for the day of mercy is still open, but it will not be forever.”
Christ remains in the tabernacles of the world. Hidden, humble, waiting – and still wounded. Let us now draw close, and console Him.
On Divine Mercy Sunday, we recall that Pope Francis often reminded us that the Lord never tires of forgiving all those with a contrite heart and a desire to begin anew. No sin is greater than his love and divine mercy. So, may we say with renewed faith: “Jesus, I trust in you.”

See you there!
@RepDeborahRoss How so? The powers will come back to the states. Trump is standing up for women by giving us an opportunity to put children in schools that value education and not social grooming. Also monies being taken back from a corrupt USAID will be coming back to Americans!!!
This lady lives in Western North Carolina and sums up what the news will NOT Report:
◦FEMA gave out water only for photo ops in Western North Carolina, instead of helping the residents. They gave them flyers for the $750 assistance, but when she called for the $750, they tried sell the victims health insurance and life alerts.
◦FEMA didn’t go to the hardest hit areas of the hurricane which needed EVERYTHING.
◦FEMA were sprouting up barely used nice trailers for themselves while victims were sleeping in tents, cars and sidewalks.
◦Red Cross set up 30+ shelters and ended up shutting down all, but one when there was still a need for them. Because of them shutting down shelters there’s hundreds of family still displace by the storm.
◦FEMA had cadaver dogs out but left quickly and used bulldozers and fires instead of body recovery.
◦Homeless population in the thousands drop to a couple hundred and heard on national news that there were only 102 deaths from this storm? Very inaccurate. The lady has had first hand accounts of counts much higher.
I hope these families of Hurricane Helene can get some help because it’s getting cold outside. I wonder if there’s anyway that those vacant trailers that aren’t being used can be given to these families.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
WHO IS PUNISHED IN PURGATORY?🔥
Those who are punished for a time in purgatory who die in the state of grace, but are guilty of venial sin, or have not fully satisfied for the temporal punishment due to their sins.
1. Purgatory is a middle state where souls destined for heaven are detained and purified. Souls in purgatory cannot help themselves, for their time for meriting is past. But they can be helped by the faithful on earth, by prayers and other good works.
In some places, at eight o'clock at night, the church bells sound, to admonish the faithful to pray for the souls in purgatory. This hour is in commemoration of Christ's prayer in the garden. We should then kneel and pray one Our Father, One Hail Mary, and Requiem Eternam: "Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them," Amen.
2. Belief in the utility of praying for the dead automatically includes belief in the existence of purgatory. If there were no purgatory, it would be useless to pray for the dead, because saints in heaven need no help, and those in hell are beyond aid.
And we can be sure there will be no more purgatory after the General Judgment, the reason for its existence will have passed.
3. Purgatory is a place of temporal punishment for those who have died in venial sin, or who have not fully satisfied God's justice in mortal sins already forgiven.
a) A boy with a stone deliberately breaks a window pane; this is a venial sin punishable in purgatory. Some argue that God is a good God, and will not punish such sins with the pains of purgatory. We must remember, nevertheless, that the judgment of God is different from those of men, as His holiness is far above human holiness.
"My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor your ways, my ways", saith the Lord. "For as the heavens have exalted above earth, so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts." Let us reverence God's holiness and justice, as we have loving confidence in His mercy.
b) A man commits a cruel murder. This is a mortal sin which, unrepented and unconfessed, will send him to hell.
The man repents. confesses and obtains absolution for his sin; the guilt therefore is removed. But justice requires that he make up for the evil he has done; this atonement takes place in purgatory, unless he makes full satisfaction before death.
4. The doctrine of purgatory is eminently consoling to the human heart. It consoles us when our loved ones die. Purgatory is a bond of union making us realize that death is not an eternal separation for the just, but only a loss of their bodily presence."
Purgatory gives us an assurance that we are still in touch with our beloved dead. We are consoled by the knowledge that we can still help them with prayers, as in life we so helped them.

Making Europe Catholic Again!
The 14th-century statue of Jesus and the Virgin Mary, spared during the 2019 Notre Dame fire, returned to the cathedral as thousands of Catholics sang "Ave Maria," ahead of its reopening on December 8.
