AI Confessional in Heretical Swiss Chapel Approved by Swiss Swishop



 

Still from Distopic Film THX 1138

Edit: Saint Peter’s Chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland which has a penchant for weird Avant-garde stunts like a preposterous wood display/shrine that was supposed to be a place to post suggestions for the modernist bishop about the need for change in the church, Felix Gmür

The shrine was chopped to bits in September. I hope it was the annoyed parishoners who did it and not some part of the stunt.


The surprisingly unwreckovated church has a cookie table and the tabernacle has no veil, so it’s likely Masses said here (if they even bother with it) are invalid

Now there’s a new stunt, an AI Confessional where an AI representation of the savior gives low-tier heretical spiritual advice to penitants.

Since the pastor here likely doesn’t believe in the sacramental nature of the priesthood and is mostly just a museum curator, he doesn’t have time to hear confessions.

The chapel has no listed times for Mass of confession and appears to be solely for artistic interest in its gothic architecture and late medieval, early modern religious art.

Father Ripperger Fails to Affirm EENS

Father Chad Ripperger was recently interviewed by Terry Barber and Jesse Romero on their podcast, “Full Sheen Ahead.” A small excerpt of the interview was turned into a short stand-alone video on YouTube and entitled, “Exorcist Explains How Catholics/Non-Catholics Are Saved.”

That clip begins with Terry Barber mentioning the concept of “limited papal infallibility” (meaning that the Holy Father can possibly be wrong when not invoking his unique charism of infallibility) and asking Father Ripperger about a recent statement of Pope Francis to the effect that all religions are paths that lead to God. Father ultimately and truthfully answered the question by denying the assertion that God positively wills non-Catholic religions and that they are all paths to God. He called them “false religions.”

Before giving that response, though, Father Ripperger prefaced his remarks by bringing up the dogma, extra ecclesiam nulla salus. He stated that this dogma is undeniably Catholic teaching, taught by the Fourth Lateran Council and the Council of Florence (just for the record: he did not mention Pope Bonifice VIII’s Unam Sanctam). He affirmed strongly that this doctrine has been formally defined and has been otherwise taught by numerous popes and doctors of the Church.

The Truth Behind Zionism in U.S. Politics | Mike Church & Brother Andre Marie

Because of certain disturbing nominations that president-elect Donald Trump has made — of the war-hawk, Zionist variety — Mike Church asked me to come on his show today to discuss Zionism, Christian Zionism, their impact on US foreign policy, and related issues. Here’s the Mike Church show blurb on YouTube, followed by the embedded 47-minute video. Beneath that are some embedded postings of mine on X which are relevant to the same subject, followed by some on-site links for further reading.

In this explosive episode, Mike Church and special guest Brother Andre Marie, host of Reconquest on the Crusade Radio Network, dive into the controversial influence of Zionism in American politics. They discuss the powerful role of AIPAC, Marco Rubio’s funding ties, and the misunderstood relationship between American conservatism and unwavering support for Israel. With insights on Jewish and Christian Zionism, they explore how these ideologies affect foreign policy, faith, and American interests. Don’t miss this deep, thought-provoking discussion on the role of Zionism in shaping our nation’s politics.

Archswishop of Canterbury Resigns for Being Chummy With Old Boy Sex Predator

Edit: the Church of England has set up a new level of hypocrisy and horrific sex abuse by shuffling Welby’s chum to Africa where he continued his decades long career as a nasty pederast. Maybe he won’t be so noticeable in the Colonies, eh wot, Gaybrielle?

It remains unclear if Anglicans will continue to be as self-righteous and smug about sex abuse as their Lib-Cat and Protestitard confreres who clamour for an end to the celibate priesthood and more openness in the church.

A Hopeful Side of the Covid Coup?

It’s not your job [as a doctor] to think about whether this person’s life has worth or has not worth. Our job is too look after people — that’s it!’ 

An interview with Irish doctor and Covid questioner, Paul Cullen, in which we discuss the meanings and potential of the re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States; the nature of the tyranny now enveloping our societies; the limitations of the Resistance movement in the light of a darkening sense of what is possible; the imperative of maintaining hope; and the power of the ostensibly powerless. 

Is there a danger that scepticism and pessimism are infecting the Resistance in a manner that is destroying hope? Or, are the pessimists and sceptics right when they imply that virtually everything that happens in the public world now is mere theatre, not to be taken at face value, and that the control grid being constructed around us is already too powerful to overcome? Is Donald Trump simply an actor, or can he set out to change the world for the better once more? If so, will he? Is Elon Musk a Janus-faced fraud? Is every second member of the Resistance really a shill? These questions, which four years ago were unimaginable, are now the everyday content of ‘dissident’ commentaries.

Is this reasonable? 

On the other hand, if hope is still actually possible, what form might it take? If the world is held in an unbreakable grip and the future is all written, what is there left to human hoping? What, now, can we hold to as true and reliable? 

Dr Paul Cullen, an Irishman who has been fighting the Covid tyranny in Germany for four and a half years, believes that hope is not merely possible but actually reasonable. In this interview he tells John why Covid may have silver linings, while also unflinchingly describing the dark elements that emerged in the course of the past five years of deception, bullying and democide. 

Paul was born in Dublin in 1960. He grew up in Rathfarnham, attending De La Salle primary school and the Christian Brothers at secondary level, before going on to study medicine at UCD. 

In 1984 he moved to Germany to work as a doctor, returned to Ireland to work for a brief period from 1987, and in 1989 moved to London for a three-year stint of research at Hammersmith Hospital. He completed his Masters in biochemistry and molecular biology at King’s College London, before returning to Germany, where he still works as a lecturer at Muenster University.  

Dr Cullen had published some 250 scientific papers and several books. He has been a medical doctor for 40 years, specialising in internal and laboratory medicine, including a period managing a major diagnostics lab.

He has been, since mid-2020, a high-visibility critic of all things Covid, being active in a group of about 100 critical academics (mostly university professors) in Germany. He was successful in publishing or co-publishing approximately 20 Covid-critical articles in the German press, about half in the mainstream, half in alternative outlets. In 2021, an interview with Paul on YouTube attracted more than 1.3 Million views before being removed by an act of censorship. That video has since received some 300,000 further views on reloads to Odyssey and Rumble. A recent video on DNA contamination in Covid ‘vaccinations’ is currently registering more than 400,000 views.

Paul regularly features in German media as a commentator (online, print, video, and online radio), most consistently in respect of the anti-human agenda: transhumanism, genetic engineering, neo-eugenics, bio- and reproductive medicine, cloning, climate scares, et cetera. 

He is also the Head of Doctors for Life and a board member of the Federal Association of Right-to-Life Organisations

In 2021, he was the victim of a vicious but ultimately unsuccessful cancel campaign at his university, spearheaded by local Antifa activists, attracting local, national and some international reporting.

Paul is married and the father of two children — a daughter (aged 23) and a son (aged14).

Excerpted quotes from the conversation: 

‘It wasn’t that suddenly the systems changed when Covid came into view. It was just that they were unmasked. Covid didn’t actually create anything, in the same way as alcohol doesn’t make a new personality, it just unmasks elements that are already there. So all of this was already there, but they were hiding it for some reason. The advantage is that five years ago, we didn’t know. Now we do.’

‘What we’ve seen now — the collapse of the media, the collapse of the judiciary, finding out that what we thought were rights were actually privileges, and so on — this is something that, in retrospect, has been going on for many years. But we weren’t able to see it. And I’ve been a doctor now for forty-two years, God help me, and I have the impression now, when I put on my Covid glasses and look at medicine now and look at it through these special glasses, I can see things that I thought for years were okay, and now I can see, because I’m seeing them differently, where the defects are. I’ve been reading Robert Kennedy’s books, and he comes at things from a legal perspective, which has made it clear for me. And I can see now that, in the treatment of diabetes, in the treatment of heart disease, in the treatment of psychiatric diseases — of depression in particular — that the same things have been going on for years and years and years, but you didn’t notice them because it was subtle and it was small, incremental, and so on. And then it became so obvious with Covid that, suddenly, you know, the scales dropped from my eyes, medically, and now I have the impression that I’m almost starting again at zero, and I have to study medicine again from the beginning, and think about it again, and think about a whole lot of things. And I find that I’m in my — kind of — medical dotage, because a lot of the ideas that I used to have when I was a medical student and a bit ignorant — they have turned out to be the better ideas.’

‘Even in a society that allows assisted dying and abortion, and all that — and I don’t agree with that, but a society might decide to do it — the people doing it should never be doctors. Because what they’re actually doing is they’re feeding off the prestige of the medical profession to do their dirty work, and to sanitise it. That’s what’s actually happening. So if the state wants to bump people off — have assisted dying, and so on — well then it should have the courage to have professional hangmen, or professional killers, who will do that because that’s their job.’

‘I think you have to have a certain kind of trust — the Germans call it Gottvertrauen: you have to have trust in God, this fundamental trust that things are going to work out for the best.’

Holy Steve Has Wandered in the Arizona Desert Long Enough!

The Years Have Not Beem Kind to the Would-be Champion and Gatekeeper of Things Catholic

Happy All Saints Day!

 Edit: Steve Skojec who was the founder of Gatekeeper blog 1Peter5, has now declared that he has had enough! Now he says he’s feeling the positive side of prayers for his soul. Why should God care about a “thought leader”? Is this a last-ditch effort to get back in the house that Apologetics Inc. built? Is the Grub Hub Groveler seeking a reconnect? 

Anybody want to help Holy Steve get back to the suburbs? He now laments now being unable to afford 10k a month mortgage for his brood


Your basic Protestant “worship center” custodian has a new Tesla and a beautiful home in Scottsdale too. The peons at his church are happy to craft a cozy lifestyle for these people.

I may not be an agnostic like Holy Steve, but he was a rat when he was a “Traditionalist” and he’s just mad that the easy money is gone. He’s having his Black Sheep Dog moment!


He has also made an admission that he hasn’t been exactly fair to people. Does that mean he’ll apologize to the FSSP priest at his old parish who dared to challenge his Holy Steveness, or for shilling the death vax and plandemic?

Will he apologize to CFN, Remnant and Louis Verecchio, among others, whose witness he attacked as the “leading Catholic blog”?

Perhaps being kicked around a little and trying to huff Grub Hub deliveries up flights of stairs has led to Holy Steve wanting out? Anything to get back to the cozy life of a Catholic “thought leader” in good standing with the sheeple!

Before you start feeling sorry for him, Holy Steve has always been critical of anyone who challenges the consensus in various ways. Like the time he jumped on the bandwagon to attack the Covington School kid who had his life substantially wrecked by rash and unjust accusations by the media. Of course, Holy Steve quietly removed his posts criticizing him. It was likely a wise move considering the libel lawsuits the Sandman family later filed against various “News” organizations.

There’s definitely a spiritual and temporal price to be paid for usurping, even with the best of intentions, the prophetic charismata and trying to be an authority of Catholic thought. Well, the years have not been kind to Holy Steve!

Imagine GK Chesterton huffing leaky grub hub food items up multiple flights of stairs and writing about the plight of the working classes and lumpenproles! And without eating them! (Not eating the lumpenproles, but the tasty morsels)


Dear Lord, humble Steve and make him cry true tears of contrition, and not just because he wants the comforts of a huge  and cozy McMansion.

Bergoglio: “We Need More Immigrants”

On Monday, Bergoglio received the Scalabrinians and lectured them about the supposed indispensability of immigration 

Pope Francis, promoter of mass migration, Corona-pharma lobbyism and the gay agenda, reiterated his program on Monday when he received the General Chapter of the Scalabrinian Order.  The Congregation of the Missionaries of Saint Charles Borromeo (CS), also known as the Scalabrini Missionaries, founded in 1887 by Blessed Giovanni Battista Scalabrini, held its 16th General Chapter, which concluded with an audience with Pope Francis.  On this occasion, Francis declared that Italy does not need fewer but more migrants.  What applies to Italy should certainly apply to the rest of Europe.

The Scalabrinian Order presents itself with a newly designed website that is more reminiscent of an NGO than a Catholic order.  The shift in focus is also obvious.  The order presents itself as a representative of the interests of mass migration.  This explains the honor given to the General Chapter to be received by Francis.  And it also explains the focus in the papal address, which was also monothematic, with Francis stylizing the “migrant” as an ideal.

 The Pope's core message was:

 “And today so many countries need migrants.  Italy has no children.  The average age is 46 years.  Italy needs migrants and must welcome them, accompany them, promote them and integrate them.  We must speak this truth.”

 According to Francis, what applies to Italy also applies to “so many countries”, i.e. the entire Western world.  In fact, Francis spoke a great truth, but only related it to what he saw as the consequence.  The truth is that European peoples have been committing suicide since the 1960s.  First came the birth control pill, then came abortion, which did the rest.  This anti-natalism did not fall from heaven, but was wanted and systematically propagated by certain circles.  The mass murder of innocent unborn children is the largest genocide in human history.  This applies not only to the unprecedented scale of the murder, but also to the immediate consequence: the slow genocide of the European peoples.  The taboo was spread over everything that forbade naming things, facts and consequences.

 Francis also speaks only selectively and much more quietly about the root of the evil, perhaps because he prefers to talk about what he believes to be an imperative consequence: the “necessary” mass immigration.  Interestingly, this is demonstrably being demanded and promoted by the same forces that are driving the peoples of Europe to suicide.  How does that fit together?

 Francis has the merit - in contrast to politics - of at least mentioning the reason why migration is needed: because the European peoples are no longer producing children.  The consequences can be seen everywhere.  In German countries as well as in France or Great Britain.  It's enough to take to the streets.  The “people” have changed.  The school classes look completely different.  Among the young people who move from school to the professional world, there are entire legions who do not understand German sufficiently.  Not to mention the resulting Islamization of Europe.  This detail hasn't been worth mentioning to Pope Francis so far.  The head of the church ignores the downside of the agenda, as does politics.  He does it just as consistently, just as systematically, just as dishonestly.  The recent slump in births coincides with the Corona measures.  The suspicion is directed towards the mRNA vaccinations.  The Pontifical Academy for Life - established by John Paul II as a bulwark for the right to life, but completely rebuilt by Francis - has so far not found it worth the effort to even give this topic a glance.  The reason is obvious: Francis was the most radical Corona vaccination champion of all heads of state worldwide.  He and his court took part.  That's why people behind the walls of Santa Marta don't want to hear about any reappraisals.  That's why pressing issues remain unaddressed.  Opportunities to gain important insights are missed.  And the agenda rolls and rolls: the birth rate is falling, migration is flourishing...

Assimilation, let alone proselytization, is already taking place in the opposite direction in some European hotspots.  After their first few years at school, the few remaining German children at some schools speak German, but rather Kanak German.  Conversions to Islam are no longer uncommon.  Public television presents the bright side.  The dark one remains hidden.  People see them in everyday life, but understand the message.  You have to talk about the sunny side and remain silent about the dark side - otherwise the moral club will strike.  Pope Francis shows the way by blessing the globalist agenda in all its subtopics and making himself a zealous propagandist - but unfortunately not a fighter against the root of the evil: the anti-birth sentiment of the social Darwinist overpopulation ideologists, behind which an obvious misanthropy hides.  The fact that the European peoples are on the genocidal path to the reservation apparently does not affect the current Pope.

Provincial Clerical Creeper Plays DJ





Edit: with the furor about the creepy anime mascot, this came across my feed this morning.  This once obscure village priest from Portugal has not only been promoted to infamy as the DJ Priest, but his headphones have even been “blessed” by Bergoglio. He “performed” at World Youth Day in Fatima.  We’ve heard of Rave Liturgies, but were assured by the Adam Likoudises of the Blogosphere that they were exceedingly rare and illicit. 

We suspect that before long, this bawd will be dragged before a magistrate for some infamy or other.

Just look at the demonic sneer on this Buddha lookalike!

Here he is in front of a reported 1.5 million people.

Evil Marxist Nun Wants More Power

Evil Benedictine in Hall of Radioactivity and Evil (Nerva)

Edit:  we know that an evil Marxist nun lusting for power is hardly news, but you know, for the record! Just a little observation, nothing’s stopping her from becoming Unitarian. All she’d have to do is get her Unitarian id card and decoder ring. She wouldn’t have to change her beliefs at all!

What is she complaining about? She has it all, she can wreck Italian corporations (and ecclesiastical institutions) by insisting on a wider role there. She could even sink a ship in the Italian Navy! (Or at least one of the other nuns could join the Italian Navy and wreck something!) Maybe they want to crash the Barque of Peter into a reef? But seriously, she could have the world media insisting she shouldn’t be judged the way a man would be judged for her incompetence if she did crash the Barque! For the part of this particular case, the world media is insisting that the female captain who crashed her ship in New Zealand shouldn’t be blamed for the mishap, just like in every instance where a female in man’s role who fails shouldn’t be blamed. More proof, if any were needed, that the media wants people unsuitable for captain’s duties to crash ships!

[NCR] ‘"Enough is enough!" say women from every part of the world at every step of the synod on synodality. We want to be treated as equals not only theoretically, in dignity, but also in church ministry. Unfortunately, the present understanding of holy orders, reserved for men, upholds hierarchical states of life and perpetuates patriarchy and discrimination. 


‘To settle this issue of women's longing for equality in leadership, it is often proposed that women should also receive the sacrament of holy orders. However, I think most women are neither interested in becoming clerics nor mere administrators. Rather, they just want the church to declare that women are not excluded from ordained ministries because of their gender. Could we explore alternatives?’ [Yes, become Unitarian!]

The Glorious Columbus

Columbus’ Tomb in Sevill

 Columbus wanted to find gold to finance a restoration of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem to the Christians.

From TFP


Crusader Spirit

A question arises from the modern reader: “What about the quest for gold?” As Columbus makes clear in his log, the finding of gold, spices, and other valuables is central to his mission, but not for the reason most are taught.

On December 26, 1492, Columbus had established a makeshift settlement named La Navidad on the north end of the island of Hispaniola from the wreckage of the Santa Maria, run aground on a reef. Seeing the hand of Divine Providence, he then proceeded to write of his desired result:

“I hope to God that when I come back here from Castile. . . I will find a barrel of gold, for which these people have traded, and that they will have found the gold mine, and the spices, and in such quantities that within three years the Sovereigns will prepare for and undertake the reconquest of the Holy Land. I have already petitioned Your Highnesses to see that all the profits of my enterprise should be spent on the conquest of Jerusalem, and Your Highnesses smiled and said that. . . even without the expedition they had the inclination to do it.”9

Now that Spain was finally free from Muslim domination (Jan. 2, 1492), the great desire to take the fight to the enemy and complete the liberation of the Holy Land could finally be completed. By sailing west, Columbus was aiming to outflank Islam, gaining access to the riches of the East so as to finance the retaking of Jerusalem. Since the fall of Constantinople in 1453, while Columbus was still a child, calls had come from all corners of Europe to renew the Crusade. Columbus saw himself as the instrument to fulfill the longed-for end.

In a letter to Pope Alexander VI, Columbus reiterates the seriousness of his intentions:

“The enterprise must be undertaken in order to spend any profits therein for the redemption of the Sepulcher and the Temple Mount unto Holy Church.”10

Historian George Grant succinctly concludes, “Clearly, the motivations of Columbus were shaped by the eons long conflict between Christendom and Islam. The evidence is inescapable. He sailed, not to discover a new world, but to find a way to recover the old one.”

Hail Columbus!

Bergoglio Leads Controversial Act of Penance

Edit: these pointless showboat events don’t seem to have any reconciliation in mind or any individuals in need of regenerarion. 

Vienna's Cardinal Schönborn also spoke one of the seven pleas for forgiveness at a ceremony in St. Peter's Basilica on the eve of the opening of the four-week world synod.  There was some criticism of the texts in advance

Vatican City (kath.net/KAP/red) In an act of penance in St. Peter's Basilica, in which Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schönborn also took part, top representatives of the Catholic Church, led by Pope Francis, confessed the Church's guilt.  For the first time, they publicly asked God and humanity for forgiveness because of the Catholic Church's failure to deal with cases of sexual abuse by clergy.

The service took place on Tuesday evening in the Vatican Basilica, on the eve of the opening of a four-week world synod for the renewal of the Catholic Church.  Similar to the historic confession of the Church's sins throughout its long history, which took place in 2000, several cardinals read out individual confessions of guilt one after the other.  Each of the seven posts contained the phrase, "I ask for forgiveness and I'm ashamed."

In addition to failing to deal with sexual or spiritual abuse, the cardinals acknowledged guilt on behalf of the Church in, among other things, Christians' involvement in environmental destruction, colonialism and slavery.  The failure of men in the Church to advocate for the dignity of women was mentioned, as was the oppression and exploitation of women religious.  In his text, Cardinal Schönborn addressed the “obstacles to building a truly synodal, common church.”

 “I ask for forgiveness and am ashamed that we have transformed authority into power, that we have stifled plurality, that we have not listened to the people, that we have made it difficult for many brothers and sisters to participate in the mission of the Church,” it said in the pleas for forgiveness presented by Schönborn.  People have forgotten "that we are all called in history to become living stones of the one temple of the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ."  Child Abuse Report Each of the seven guilty pleas was accompanied by a sung invocation of Divine Mercy.

Previously, among others, the German-based singer Laurence Gien, who was abused by a cleric as a minor in his former home of South Africa, reported on the serious psychological damage caused to the victims by the acts and their cover-up.  In further testimonies, an Italian woman reported on the suffering of boat refugees and migrants, and a Syrian religious woman spoke of the horrors of the war in her homeland.  The guilty plea to clerical abuse was made by US Cardinal Sean O'Malley, who headed the Pontifical Child Protection Commission for many years.  Indian Cardinal Oswald Gracias asked for forgiveness for Catholics' past disregard for life and failure to strive for peace.  Curial Cardinal Michael Czerny spoke out about transgressions against creation and shame for colonialism.  Irish-American Curial Cardinal Kevin Farrell's request for forgiveness was aimed, among other things, at disrespecting the dignity of women.  Prefect of the Faith, Cardinal Víctor Fernandez, asked, among other things, forgiveness for offenses against the "unity of the Christian faith and the true fraternity of all humanity."

 Cardinal Cristobal Lopez, archbishop of the Moroccan capital Rabat, read out a request for forgiveness for wrongdoings and omissions towards the poor.  Cardinal Schönborn spoke as the last of the seven cardinals and as a member of the Council of the Synod Secretariat.  "Healing wounds that still bleed" Pope Francis emphasized in his closing address: "We can no longer call on the name of God without first asking forgiveness from our brothers and sisters and the earth and all creatures."  He continued: "We must ask ourselves what responsibility we have if we fail to stop evil with good."

 On the eve of the World Synod, the confession of guilt is "an opportunity to restore the trust in the Church and the trust in the Church that has been broken by our mistakes and sins, and to heal the wounds that still bleed and the bonds of injustice  solve."  The celebration took place in a quiet, concentrated atmosphere in St. Peter's Basilica, which was not completely full.  Pope Francis, wearing a purple stole like the one priests wear when hearing confessions, followed the testimonies with a serious expression and often lowered eyes.  After the women and men's remarks, there was applause from those present in the rear area of ​​St. Peter's Basilica, and some of the bishops and cardinals present also applauded.  The act of penance also marked the end of the two days of retreat for the synod members who are taking part in the World Synod of Bishops on Synodality in the Vatican, which begins on Wednesday.

 Text of the intercession presented by Cardinal Christoph SCHÖNBORN:

 I ask for forgiveness and am ashamed of the obstacles we place in the way of building a truly synodal, common Church, conscious of being a holy people of God, walking together in recognition of the common dignity of baptism.  I ask for forgiveness and am ashamed for all the times when we did not listen to the Holy Spirit, but rather to ourselves and defended opinions and ideologies that hurt the fellowship of all in Christ, which we have at the end of time  Expect father.  I ask for forgiveness and am ashamed that we have turned authority into power, that we have stifled plurality, that we have not listened to people, that we have made it difficult for many brothers and sisters to participate in the mission of the Church, and that we  have forgotten that we are all called in history to become living stones of the one temple of the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ.  Forgive us, Lord.

Why hasn't Mark Shea taken the latest booster?

As much as he appears to hate him, it's obvious that he shares more traits than he would be willing to admit.  Both have trouble admitting when they are wrong.   Trump will double down or, in this case, pivot toward something else.   Shea projects simplistic caricatures.   Has he forgotten that it was Trump who brought us Operation Warped Speed and talked about using the military to administer this "vaccine" he believed, at least until recently, had saved meeyons of lives?



The "vaccine" was withheld, as Trump claimed, until Biden's installation was secure.  Very quickly, those who said they would never take it, started to mandate it.   Trump was incensed he never got credit for its development and continued to crow about it despite being heckled at his own rallies.  It would seem he's found the better tactic is to criticize the mandates and not to jab itself.

"Protecting immunocompromised neighbors":   Does anyone still believe this bunk especially now that more people are walking around with Covid than at any time in 2020?


The best way Mark Shea could protect those vulnerable to the dangers of the Plandemic would be to maximize his social distancing (say 6 MILES) and stay off the internet.

The questioner mentions Deacon Steven Greydanus (side issue: it's Reverend Mister.  We don't care for the permanent diaconate but this still isn't the First Abyssinian Baptist Church of East Main St.). Why would anyone take medical help from one of Nighty-night Baby's flunkies, a movie reviewer who called a film about a grown sodomite corn-holing an underage boy "winsome"?

Ed Feser is a strange case.  He's done yeoman's work advocating for the Church's traditional teaching on capital punishment (getting called Hitler by Shea for it) but he thought the "vaccine" was not the hill to die on.   And, like Bill Kristol's roomate,  he thinks being more pro-Life than the hierarchy isn't good enough.  Sorry clown, Trump only promised to throw it back to the states, but for 50 years you dutifully voted for GOP candidates who kept pulling the rug out from under us.  You just couldn't catch that ball and run with it because you were still Never-Trumpers.   Who can blame him for thinking it's a losing issue now?

To be certain the past decade with Francis, Trump, and the Plandemic have taken some casualties in Apologetics, Inc.   Consider Steve Skojec and cat lady Michelle Arnold.


Skojec was like watching a train wreck in slow motion.  It seemed to start when he took a now predictable position with respect to the story of Pio Nono and his adopted son Edgardo Mortara, which is an alternate way to reject EENS.   Then, he got into a fight with trads over giving daughters the HPV vaccines and whether or not NFP users could have less than pure motives.     When Covid hit, he stayed home and never clamored to return to Mass.   He hunkered down in fear, got jabbed, got Covid, and eventually, lost his faith completely.   Now, he drinks bourbon, smokes pot, and writes about UFOs and about why trads are evil.

It's hard not to pity former Catholic Answers staff apologist Michelle Arnold, a self-proclaimed Cat-Lady for Kamala.


Sure, she was a reliable Neo-Cat dipshit prior to Covid, but locking herself up allowed us to see she lacked any integrity whatsoever.   When vax-happy Cardinal McElroy finally rescinded the dispensation, she couldn't muster the courage to return to Mass.    Consider her statement in The Times of San Diego.   It's obvious this coward has been sheltered more than Kamala Harris has been since the annointing.

My reasons for not attending Mass originally had nothing to do with introversion. By the time I left my job as a professional apologist, I was pretty much becoming burned out altogether on being Catholic. Then there was the fact that the isolation and fear imposed by the pandemic transformed my deep social anxiety into a mild to moderate case of agoraphobia.

And it certainly didn’t help that all of the Catholics clamoring for churches to open and Mass restrictions to be lifted were the very people largely responsible for keeping the pandemic ongoing. I had no desire to be passing the peace with unmasked, unvaccinated Catholics, who I believe share some responsibility for COVID-19’s high death toll.

God help us if things ever get serious with celebrity Catholics like this.

I'll bet they could've easily got Mark Shea to say he wouldn't take it.


P.S:  Mark, should anything coincidental happen to you, you can always get a burner phone and place a call to The Sabatini Family Protection Agency.   They've been in the business of coincidence for centuries.

Pravda Insists that Haitians Don’t Eat Cats!


Edit: my Haitians Eat Cats post got taken down and the video that was posted with it was removed from YouTube.

When I search for pet eating Haitian vids or honest and frank interviews with people who live in the town being invaded by Haitians, all I see are debunking videos ridiculing Trump and saying how ridiculous it is to believe that Haitians do in fact eat cats and have low levels of social trust and agreeability, which makes them difficult and perhaps impossible neighbors.  It’s too bad Bergoglio doesn’t move the Vatican to Port au Prince.

It’s a shame that it’s so difficult to find these sincere and informed people who put the lie to these Globohomo actors.

The Devil's Bagpipe: The Wretched Life of Martin Luther

Memories: Bergoglio Top Jew of 2013


Looks like he’s blessing a gay couple here

[La Stampa] The Pope Francis effect has even spread to Forward’s 50 top American Jews list for this year. Forward magazine, the historic voice of American liberal Judaism, decided to add Bergoglio to the 2013 edition of Forward 50, its annual list of top Jewish-American figures. The reason for this “endorsement” is party due to an umpteenth attempt to launch an attack on Francis’ predecessor, Benedict XVI.

As he is not Jewish, Francis has been added to the magazine’s “PLUS” list. The accompanying note included in the Pope’s profile explains the reason why he was chosen: “After eight months as head of the world’s 1 billion Roman Catholics (not to mention 10 million Twitter followers), the new pontiff — the first from outside Europe — has made improving relations with the Jewish world a key goal.” The magazine adds that “the only book he has penned is an extraordinary dialogue with a rabbi who had become fast friends with then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio in their native Argentina.”

But amidst all this praise, Forward 50 adds that “It wouldn’t be tough to improve on the tone set by his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, who refused all access to the Holocaust archives and fast-tracked sainthood for the controversial Pope Pius XII, who many accuse of staying silent in the face of Hitler’s slaughter.” In doing so the magazine fuels the stereotypical contrast drawn between Poep Francis and Benedict XVI, with this statement on Ratzinger’s relationship with Judaism, which seems discredited by the obvious prejudice shown. The usual reference to Pius XII’s controversial beatification is not missing either.

Forward also makes a completely false statement regarding the Vatican archives: When he was Pope, Benedict XVI opened up the archives making available all material relating to the pontificate of Pius XI and therefore the year 1939 – a crucial period in terms of the Nazi persecution of Jews. Pacelli was Vatican Secretary of State at the time. Ratzinger’s attitude towards the documents on Pius XII’s pontificate was the same as Wojtyla’s. He said the documents would be made public once the cataloguing process was complete. In a public statement made during the prtesentation of the Lux in Arcana exhibition, Tarcisio Bertone, who was Secretary of State at the time (in February 2012, when Benedict XVI was still Pope) estimated the waiting period to be a couple of years. This means that even without Francis’ election, the time of the opening of the Pius XII archives was very near anyway. So the basis of Forward’s accusations against Benedict XVI – who is put across as the obstacle to the opening of the Vatican archives dating back to the Holocaust period - remains unclear.

Telegram CEO Arrested in France

Edit: so, they wont allow a man who drugged and raped a 12 year old girl to be extradited to the country from which he fled, but they'll arrest this man?

A Possible Solution to our Problems

The oppressive, unhelpful, and unproductive political situation we are in offers us a failed binary: The libertarian right seeks to maximize individual autonomous self-actualization by restricting government intervention into people’s lives as much as possible, whereas the Marxist left demands maximal individual autonomous self-actualization by maximizing government intervention into people’s lives. But why not refuse to accept such an unworkable, binary system? Apparently Pope Francis and his goons favor the following alternative: a totalitarian, fascist, monarchical Caesaropapism that prevents self-actualization for as many people as possible precisely by its insistence on intervening where it’s not necessary or helpful (e.g., forbidding the TLM) and by refusing to intervene where necessary (e.g., to actually address the sex abuse crisis).

Make sense to me.
