Catholic Mouse

This is Carl Strehlow and I am Catholic Mouse. I love being Catholic! I love the Latin Mass! I will be quieter on here than on my old Twitter/𝕏 account.

My name is Carl Strehlow and I am (the) "Catholic Mouse". I think people need to know what I look like. So, here are a couple photos of me, taken after Latin Mass. The one with the white hat was on New Years Day 2025; the other, Christmas Day 2024.

@MargoCatholic @DrFrankTurek @JeremyDBoreing @conservmillen @DavidLimbaugh Wouldn't Dr. Frank Turek be an interesting guest for @Catholicizm1 and @CatholicRob to have on their Avoiding Babylon podcast, to talk about those very things, the beautiful Sacraments that are great gifts from the Catholic Church.

I have just been to Latin Mass for First Saturday. Confession and receiving the Eucharist are the best gifts from the Catholic Church.

[Catholic Mouse @catholicmouse]

I am refraining more and more to avoid arguments... I mean discussions more and more on here. It never gets anywhere. Let the experts do that.

@MissBehavin808 Good book.

The chastisement is here, just look around.
The souls of innocent children have been snuffed out by the millions and call out for vengeance from God.
Moral cowardice.
Debauchery.
Godlessness.
A complete moral inversion.

The west is under invasion by barbarians and no one understands that sackcloth and ashes and repentance are the only solution.

"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

2 Chronicles 7:14

@BruvverEccles @OlsonAndreas This edition is a 1990's printing.

[Catholic Mouse @catholicmouse]

I will be reading the Fr. Brown stories by G.K Chesterton for the first time. I have had this book on my shelf for years.

[Catholic Mouse @catholicmouse]

@OlsonAndreas I managed to find a secondhand hardcover copy online.

@makeukgood In addition to murder and rape, you could also make a case for the death penalty for treason too.

@GringoPapist Thanks for including Moucers. Squeak! Squeak!

Most people know that Cardinal McElroy of Washington has removed Monsignor Stephen Rossetti who was the Archdiocese's official exorcist following public statements linking UFOs and alien phenomena to demonic deception. I am one of those who say that aliens do not exist, so this is disappointing.

I am not against having a few public exorcist priest, or any priest and bishop. But I do mean few. Most should remain totally anonymous.

Cardinal McElroy removes exorcist for "undermining" Catholic teaching after he said that demons can disguise themselves as aliens.

@GringoPapist I have been Catholic for nearly eight years. I believe had I remained a Lutheran, even though I doubted the doctrine of Faith Alone, and my state of sin, I would have gone to hell.

They had been married for only 20 days.

Most newlyweds dream of a long life together.

A home.

Children.

Years of shared memories.

But for Saints Timothy and Maura, their marriage would end on a cross.

And it would become one of the most extraordinary love stories in Christian history.

Timothy was a young lector in the Church, responsible for safeguarding and reading the Sacred Scriptures. Maura was his newlywed wife.

They had been married for less than a month when persecution broke out in Egypt during the reign of Emperor Diocletian.

Timothy was arrested and ordered to surrender the Christian books in his care.

He refused.

The authorities tortured him mercilessly, demanding that he reveal where the Scriptures were hidden.

Still, he would not betray Christ.

When the governor learned that Timothy had recently married, he ordered Maura to be brought before him.

Perhaps, he thought, she could persuade her husband to give in.

Instead, she strengthened him.

Standing before the governor, Maura boldly professed her faith in Jesus Christ.

The enraged officials turned their cruelty upon her as well.

For days, the young couple endured horrific tortures.

Their bodies were broken.

Their wounds multiplied.

Yet neither abandoned Christ.

Ancient accounts tell us that during their suffering, Timothy and Maura encouraged one another to remain faithful.

Rather than despair, they spoke of Heaven.

Rather than fear death, they fixed their eyes on eternity.

Finally, the governor sentenced them both to crucifixion.

Two crosses were erected facing one another.

For nine long days, the young husband and wife hung there in agony.

Yet rather than despair, they encouraged one another.

They prayed together. They sang hymns. They reminded each other of Christ's suffering and the promise of eternal life.

When one grew weak, the other strengthened them.

Their final days were not filled with bitterness.

They were filled with faith.

Together, they endured.

Together, they hoped.

Together they carried their final cross.

Around the year 286 AD, Timothy and Maura surrendered their souls to God and entered Heaven as martyrs.

Their story reminds us that the strongest marriages are not built merely on human love, but on a shared love for God.

Timothy and Maura were married for only a few weeks on earth.

But their union lasts forever in Heaven.

Saints Timothy and Maura, pray for us.

The Corpus Christi Latin Mass at the Catholic Church of the Holy Name in Adelaide, Australia was beautiful this evening. Unfortunately, it was cold and damp, so we were unable to have the candlelit procession in the gardens.

Happy Feast Day. God bless you all.

[Catholic Mouse @catholicmouse]

It is June 4th, and it is the Feast of Corpus Christi. It will be a cold, chilly night at the Catholic Church of the Holy Name in Adelaide for the Latin Mass. Corpus Christi is my second favourite feast after Candlemas.

[Catholic Mouse @catholicmouse]

@MattGaspers @Catholicizm1 @CatholicRob That is well deserved.

[Catholic Mouse @catholicmouse]

I should tell a few more stories here. My life is more or less an open book. Squeak! Squeak!

[Catholic Mouse @catholicmouse]

Here in Adelaide, it is a cold, wet Wednesday morning. I decided to head down to my parish for Latin Mass. I really need it today. I have been feeling a little down, lonely and overwhelmed lately.

[Catholic Mouse @catholicmouse]

@cancelwok3 You are so articulate in the way you tell your story. God bless you Nancy.

@MargoCatholic I am always awake by 5:30-6:00 in the morning.
