New Liturgical Movement: M.C. Training Webinar

These things that happen are all really true . . . The pope has spoken, life goes on. . . .

Meanwhile, back at home, if we continue to teach our young people that America is fundamentally racist and irredeemably flawed, we will reap exactly what we sow.

Why would any person of intelligence and character put his or her life at risk to defend a country controlled by a leadership class that continually derides or ignores tens of millions of Americans, along with their needs, their convictions, and their concerns?

Here’s a modest proposal: Let our pundits and our political and cultural elites fight the next war.  The rest of us can watch from the sidelines.

A combat veteran’s complaint.

“It’s clear that YouTube attacked and censored CPAC due to us standing with former President Trump on his lawsuit on these tech companies,” said Matt Schlapp, ACU’s Chairman

. “This is another showcase of these companies censoring information they disagree with in order to support the political positions they like.”

Powah! They got powah! They use it!

Yet another Catholic priest has been ‘cancelled’ for daring to criticize the LGBT-friendly hierarchy, pro-abortion Biden, Pope Francis and the covid protocols.

Fr. Francis Gloudeman is a great priest with the Norbertine order in Orange County, California. He recently had his faculties removed after giving a homily that went viral at San Secondo D’asti, parish in Ontario, California, (colloquially referred to as ‘Guasti,’) a parish he helps out at.

Unlike most of the other persecuted priests who are at least warned or admonished first, the hierarchy seemed to drop the hammer quickly on this one.

Not quite your detached news piece here, but thing is, there’s not much of that available. In any case, there’s a whole movement out there, blaming bishops and praising maverick priests.

Lawmaker asks Pritzker for metrics needed to relax mask mandates – Illinois News Now

A state lawmaker says residents are demanding clear goalposts to aim to relax COVID-19 mitigations such as mask mandates.

Nearing 20 months into the COVID-19 pandemic, executive orders from Gov. J.B. Pritzker on a variety of things ranging from economic restrictions to masks in schools, have gone unchecked by the Democrat-controlled General Assembly.

Republican state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield, said that has to change. “If the public can go to their Representative and their Representative can sit in committee and they can talk about what they’ve heard, there’s a little more buy in from the public and they’re likely to trust the mitigations,” Batinick said.

He wrote the governor a letter detailing a proposal with regionalized metrics to give assurances things like school mask mandates aren’t open ended.

Of course, you know about this from coverage in Chi papers and/or broadcast news, heh-heh.

What’s that? Not even a little?

“As a devout Catholic and mother of five in six years, I feel that God has blessed my husband and me with our beautiful family,” Pelosi said. “But it’s not up to me to dictate that’s what other people should do, and it’s an issue of fairness and justice for poor women in our country.”

SF Archbishop says Pelosi can’t call herself a ‘devout Catholic’ | Crux Now

Listen to her. It’s not up to her to dictate . . .

. . . anything, my dear. Dictating is not the point. And you well it isn’t.

You also know it is up to you to oppose, legislatively or any other way, the taking of innocent life. And you know the church teaches that abortions do just that.

So you know that however devout you were when having children or at any other point in your life, you’re not now. And the archbishop is right.

He’s called you out.

Control, control. Use that crisis. Never know when a better is coming. Go Dems!!

. . . or how they shouldn’t, for best effect:

Words of wisdom needn’t sound portentous, like the narration in a biblical epic from the 1950’s. That tone is likely to sound parodic to contemporary ears. Better to keep it serious but colloquial, or even amusing and colloquial. Or at least homely, heavy on one- and two-syllable words, and avoid the high-falutin’ boilerplate. Don’t try to sound wise, which is never wise. With that in mind, you’ll find wisdom in unexpected places.
