Everyone. Retweet.
To Whom it May Concern at .@ILTimes:. I would like to formally lodge a protest at the disgraceful sketch by your cartoonist, Chris Britt, depicting the 10 year-old daughter of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. It contravenes every standard of decency in our society. Please remove it.

Today after Mass I'll say again the "Exorcism against Satan and Fallen Angels". I fervently ask God to accept this mighty prayer for the purpose of preventing Satan and demons from doing harm and prompting vote counters to sin in the elections in PA, GA, NV, MI and WI.

Watching POTUS at Florida rally. 2 neutral points. 1) Compare his energy with Biden's. That's not partisan. 2) He rapidly recounted achievements. He went on and on. That's the point. He CAN go on and on. He accomplished a lot. That's not partisan.

How very sad. Yet I must add that I'm at the point where I'm glad I'm no longer a young man, facing what is coming in the Church and the world. Still, this is the time into which God called us. We have from Him missions, vocations. We must not shrink from the challenges.
In his diary, Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani wrote, with great bitterness, in the summer of 1965, a few months before the end of Vatican II: “I pray to God that I die before the end of this Council, so that I at least die a Catholic”. 😢

Today is the Feast of the Precious Blood. We may all be different in height, sex, shape of eye, color of skin, but we all bleed the same red Our Savior bled for our sins. Our unifying human blood, divinely infused, still courses from His Sacred Heart.

Therefore, as a Catholic, BIDEN ought to conform to the Church's law in can. 916 and Catholic priests, like YOU, ought to conform to the law and apply can. 915.
Again, Mr. Biden was baptized into the Catholic Church as child. And so, pace a few priests and bishops, he is a Catholic.

The Jesuit omitted to mention something very important, which can lead to an errant conclusion. One's conscience should be PROPERLY FORMED. Properly formed conscience, according especially to the mind of the Church and natural law.
I'm writing this now because I'm being deluged with questions like this and Catholics telling me that their bishop or pastor is telling them they'll be "going to hell," or they can only vote for one party. That's false. You're an adult with a conscience. Use it and be at peace.

No wonder the Church is Ireland has been obliterated.
This Irish Catholic priest made a memorable exit from Christmas Eve Mass when he went rolling down the aisle on a scooter. Father Peter O’Connor told the children in attendance that he received the scooter from Santa and wanted to test it out.

Appalling. No longer would Mass be celebrated on the permanent altar, beneath which is the tomb of the Apostle's Simon and Jude. Now the priest is to ignore their tomb, not even touch it. Another step towards making St. Peter's an museum rather than a church.

Everyone. GO TO CONFESSION!.
I went to confession today, probably an odd thing to say on Twitter, nonetheless it is a beautiful Sacrament. I admit “judge not lest ye be judged” hit me hard. Confession is very humbling but also very healing in the Lord’s mercy. If you haven’t confessed lately. just do it!.

You think that because the majority of bishops have NOT publicly backed that priest's video, therefore the video is. what. bad? "Only one bishop" out of 196. therefore, bad video. How many bishops were there in England when St. John Fisher was "only one bishop"?.
Video from priest says Catholics who vote for Democrats will go to hell. One bishop approves this message--only one bishop out of 196 diocesan bishops. via @RNS.

Holy Mass requires the finest vestments, music, we can summon from human genius, love, labor. What we sing, do in church, the church itself, must presage the liturgy of heaven, where the Church Triumphant enjoys the Beatific Vision. Liturgy should be “epiphany”.

I don't think it is going to take nearly that long.
My prediction: By 2050, there will be more TLM’s celebrated weekly in the U.S. than Novus Ordo Masses. And this will mostly be due to a sharp decrease in N.O. Masses throughout the country.

In 1838 there was a large SALE OF SLAVES. They sold human beings to pay for Georgetown University. Who were these slave owners? Why not name the group? Perhaps it's fear of angering the groups's wealthy donors.
I'm glad that @ArchofDetroit has condemned these racist and homophobic attacks but disappointed it doesn't mention where they originated: @Church_Militant. Why not name the group? Perhaps it's not wanting to draw more attention to a hate group but perhaps it's fear of angering. .

What's scandalous is that the Jesuit weaponized her unfortunate response to advance his homosexualist agenda. He ought to have explained that her values ought to align with the Church's teaching, not the other way around. But he didn't. Telling.

Of course THAT was the point. Make them vote on 160+ paragraphs in a short time in a language most of them don't work in well, if at all. What could go wrong?.
+Chaput: "Many bishops were frustrated by the lack of advance translations for important issues they were expected to vote on. As one of the synod fathers argued, it’s actually immoral to vote 'yes' on significant issues if you can’t even read and reflect on what the text says.".
