In my entire life...



I have never observed a bigger bunch of bleepholes.

Scroll down to the second picture on this page and look at this moron.

When I would see them do something so profoundly stupid and profane, I used to ask myself "what is the matter with these people?".

I don't ask anymore.

These pictures are worth a thousand words.

Blogger's Fast for Synod



Our friend Aged Parent is encouraging Catholic bloggers to fast for the synod.

An outstanding idea - more on this later.

The Pope Francis Glide into Facism



I listened to the speech today. It was the dalai lama.

Several minutes after leaving Obama, he announced he would veto any bill that defunds murderers of unborn children. Minutes after leaving Congress, the Senate blocked attempts to defund human atrocities at planned parenthood.

The opportunity to save hundreds of thousands of lives existed and the Holy Father deliberately and willfully talked about the death penalty, the air and Dorothy Day.

There is something really strange about his quote on the family.

It's a little ambiguous and could be taken out of context and twisted, but it seems a legitimate acknowledgment of the heretics in the Church and the diabolical disorientation in the culture. But then there is the synod, where he is the internal threat he is referencing. Very strange.

This article on the ride into facism is an interesting read.

Deference to a pope comes readily to Catholics. We are groomed for it. Within legitimate bounds, there is grace in that. But the boundaries are not totalizing. Outside of them, obeisance falls prey to forces that do not serve the church. Neither do they lend succor to a civilization painfully wrought from endemic tyrannies and universal poverty. Far, far from it.

There comes a moment when deference glides into collusion. At that point, we all become Good Germans. Fascist-friendly. Trust in respected authority curdles into a thing entirely different—a willed blindness to something dark in the particular voice commanding assent. Decent and dependable, we incline toward the beckoning circle of connivance.

The Che Guevara thing was an eye-opener for me. I knew the show was bordering socialism and communism but I secretly hoped he would prove us all wrong.

Isn't this the kind of rhetoric from a state-controlled communist counterfeit church?



Pope Francis told Obama his worries are about air pollution in this time in the history of civilization.

WASHINGTON — Pope Francis quietly but forcefully made his priorities clear during his first full day in the United States on Wednesday, urging in a pair of speeches a renewed emphasis on tackling global poverty, confronting climate change, caring for migrants and providing a welcoming church that is pastoral rather than doctrinaire.

No doctrine/no Sanctifying Grace.

No Sanctifying Grace/no people in the pew and no salvation.

There isn't a dime's worth of difference between a communist counterfeit church run by the state and this pathetic rhetoric.

Then, astoundingly, he told bishops that it is wrong to be silent on the victims of abortion.

If he is silent on abortion while repeatedly telling the world the mission of the Church is air pollution and not doctrine, nothing the rest of us say has any efficacy in any forum. From the family, a parish, a diocese or the leaders of our nation.

Let's just suppose for a moment that Congress legislated the legality of killing unwanted immigrants and got caught removing their body parts while alive to sell them.

How would righteous people feel about a pope laughing and joking beside him and expressing he is encouraged by Obama's leadership because of actions he's taken on 'air pollution'?

It was a disgusting display and I am not looking forward to today!




Holy Father Jokes about Suggestions He is a Communist. Nobody with children is laughing.



As Cardinal O'Malley was revealing they are gaga over Marxist terrorist Che, Pope Francis joked with reporters over suggestions he is a communist.

He suggests we're a bunch of old crazies who reached our conclusions because he is not wearing red shoes and said the show he has been putting on that replaces Sanctifying Grace with poverty is the social doctrine of the Church.

Maybe I have given an impression of being a little bit to the left,” the pope conceded. “But if they want me to recite the creed, I can!”

Sure, recite the creed.

Then spit on us and tell us it's raining.

Please.

Treating social service as the absolution of sin is not a witness to Church teaching.

Nor is the appointing and empowering of deceivers who promote adultery and sodomy.

Boston Pilot takes down Fr. Garrity's heretical rubbish and sheds some light on damaging mischaracterizations of Church teaching.


A few developments on this very serious situation.

First, the Pilot has removed Fr. Garrity's venomous and heretical rubbish. They also published a piece authored by Fr. David Barnes that sheds some light on Fr. Garrity's mischaracterizations of Church teaching and those who practice living each day trying to stay in a state of Grace.

It is a good faith attempt to defend Church teaching and practice. Fr. Barnes also published a very good and more personal response on his blog.

While Catholics were furiously writing and calling Fr. Garriry's superiors to tell them what they already should know, he boldly published an article in his bulletin caricaturing moral theology as a bunch of Archie Bunkers and anti-Semites and suggesting the synod may opine that Church teaching should not be imposed upon bright and sophisticated 'believers'. He said he is insulted by wrongheaded complaints that the Pope's assembly of heretics to persuade Catholics to commit adultery would confuse and lead astray. He ends his screed by saying when priests and bishops persuade people to disagree with Church teaching, it's incumbent upon us not to disagree with them.


A glutton for punishment, I clicked on a few links to see the extent of his spiritual malpractice and abuse and found this gem on abortion.


He caricatures Catholics who assent to Church teaching 'partisans' who 'stake out extreme positions' and advises readers not to hold facilitating infantcide against politicians. You can be sure if the politicians were legislating the killing of priests instead of babies, he'd be singing a different tune. He said abortion isn't moral theology but rather a public policy that is not a black and white issue, that 'our nation' is 'hugely split' and some Catholics 'think' abortion should remain legal, that we all practice shorthand way of assessing candidates 'through the prism of our own values'. He further explains that given all the circumstances around abortion, simplistic answers stated in a sound bite are not the kind of information on which to base a critical judgment about murdering a child.

Church teaching doesn't exist in his world. He is an apostate and he is leading souls to also disregard Church teaching when making judgments around right and wrong - even when it comes to murdering children.

It is outrageous that this man's bishop is giving him permission to be openly hostile to Church teaching and those who practice it at the very time we are calling his superiors to seek their intervention. The boldness of his venom is shocking.

What on earth are the bishops doing assembling a 'synod' about how to 'help' the family when they are empowering priests and lay people to teach our loved ones to ignore and contradict Church teaching?

This is not rocket science.

What faithful Catholic families need in this moment in history is faithful priests who teach our children these tools - right from wrong, sin from virtue, how to use the Sacraments and substance of Divinity in the Eucharist to resist temptation to sin with Sanctifying Grace.

On the other end of the spectrum, our families also need to understand we are not teaching 'rules', we are teaching 'healthy practices for the soul and intellect' - how the properties of sin affect the soul and intellect and how consuming the Eucharist during this very real spiritual conflict is a sacrilege that strengthens temptation.

A pope-run 'synod' where dissidents are given the forum to contradict Church teaching in the public square under the guise of 'helping' Catholic families is about as 'helpful' to us as 'planned parenthood' is 'helpful' to uncatechized women.

Pope Francis arrived in Cuba and said the Church needs freedom. I can appreciate this, but there is no greater need for freedom than the freedom desperately needed from the heresy and imprisonment of heretic priests in our parishes, schools, newspapers and magazines.

Church teaching has been under the siege of priests like Fr. Garrity for sixty years.

The Church needs to be freed from them. Our families need to be freed.

Catholic Action League asks Cardinal O'Malley to Do Damage Control to Fr. Paul Garrity's Heresy



News Release:

The Catholic Action League of Massachusetts today is calling upon Cardinal Sean O'Malley, the Archbishop of Boston, to publicly reaffirm Catholic teaching on the indissolubility of marriage, after a senior member of the Cardinal's own clergy openly derided that teaching as "ludicrous" in the current edition of The Pilot, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston, whose publisher is the Archbishop.
In a column in the September 11th Pilot entitled "Synod needs your prayers," Monsignor Paul V. Garrity, Pastor of Sacred Heart and Saint Brigid Parishes in Lexington, wrote: "It is ludicrous to assert that divorced couples who have found love and fidelity with new spouses are still recognized by the Church as being married to their former spouses after the passage of many years. It is equally untenable (and disrespectful) to try to convince these happily married couples that, in fact, their relationships are sinful."

Garrity had previously sparked controversy in December, 2013, when he compared same sex couples to the Holy Family in a letter in the bulletin of Saint Catherine of Siena Parish in Norwood.

Roman Catholic teaching on the permanence of the marital bond, which is definitive and irreformable, is founded on Divine and natural law, expressed by the words of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Saint Matthew: "What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder," and in the Gospel of Saint Luke: "Every one who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery..."

The Catechism of the Catholic Church, promulgated by Saint John Paul II, states: "Divorce is a grave offense against the natural law...Contracting a new union, even if it is recognized by civil law, adds to the gravity of the rupture: the remarried spouse is then in a situation of public and permanent adultery."

The Catholic Action League called Garrity's column "a shocking disavowal of Catholic morality by a prominent pastor of the Archdiocese of Boston, in the Archbishop's own newspaper."

Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle made the following comment: "Garrity's heretical assertions go far beyond the so-called concessions in pastoral practice envisaged by some synod fathers. Garrity unambiguously repudiates, and holds up to public ridicule, the constant, 2,000 year old doctrine of the Catholic Church on the indissolubility of a valid, sacramental marriage. Ordinary Catholics, reading Garrity in a diocesan newspaper published by Cardinal O'Malley, could be led to the erroneous belief that Catholic moral teaching is changeable."

"Although Garrity invokes 'love, forgiveness and mercy', he doesn't practice it. Apparently, for him, the Spiritual Works of Mercy---counseling the doubtful, instructing the ignorant, and admonishing the sinner---are obsolete. Warning the flock of the dangers of mortal sin is intrinsic to the priesthood. For Garrity, such priestly duty is 'disrespectful.'"

"There are three scandals here: that a Catholic pastor would propound such heresy; that an official Catholic newspaper would publish it; and that a Catholic archdiocese, would, by its silence, acquiesce in it. Twice in recent years, lay columnists who wrote opinion pieces in The Pilot critical of homosexuality were forced to clarify their comments. We will see if a different standard applies to a chancery connected cleric who mocks Catholic morality."


Outstanding. As always.

Cardinal O'Malley publishes Monsignor Garrity's heresy in Pilot


A Catholic friend called this morning to tell me Monsignor Garrity wrote an article in the Pilot advocating for heresy at the synod and caricaturing Catholic teaching on marriage as ludicrous.

I was hoping it was a letter to the editor, which would be bad enough, but turns out the Archbishop published an outlandish heretical piece of trash in his newspaper.

Our friends at Church Militant do an outstanding job pointing out the macabre misfeasance of this heretical priest and his enablers in the heirarchy.

The monsignor, in favor of such a path, then proceeds to dismiss defenders of traditional Church doctrine as if they're simply too fear-bound and pharisaical to appreciate the "love" and "truth" of the heterodox "Kasper proposal."

That's when the outlandish repudiation of binding Catholic doctrine begins.

Though they [traditionalists] don't say so in so many words, they effectively believe that divorced and remarried Catholics should be punished for their failed marriages and for seeking happiness with a new spouse. They cling to the notion that all second marriages (without the benefits of annulments) result in adulterous unions which makes the reception of Holy Communion sacrilegious in total disregard of the many years of marital faithfulness that husbands and wives in second marriages may have experienced. (emphasis added)



In other words, Msgr. Garrity reduces the infallible teaching of the Church to a mere mistaken notion that fails to see some alleged goodness in what he assumes isn't adultery.

He continues, asserting, "It is ludicrous to assert that divorced couples who have found love and fidelity with new spouses are still recognized by the Church as being married to their former spouses after the passage of many years."

These are the emails sent to Fr. Garrity's superiors:

I realize this "pastoral" empowerment is coming from, sadly, the sitting Pope - - but I am here to remind you that what faithful Catholics are "clinging" to is not a "notion".

What we are clinging to is Church teaching.

Our children have access to this newspaper at the back of the Church.

Would somebody kindly explain to me what this outlandish piece of heretical trash is doing in the Cardinal Archbishop's newspaper?

You know, or should know, Monsignor Garrity has been encouraging homosexual sex and heterosexual adultery for years. He continues to get bolder and bolder.

What is this man doing heading a parish?

Dear Bishop Edyvean,

I hope this email finds you well.

I left you off of this prestigious list of your colleagues but left you a voicemail message. :)

The situation under the reign of this Pope for Catholic families who have tried to navigate through the onslaught of homosexual priests advocating sodomy for decades is frightening. He has empowered boldness in every heretic from here to Timbucktoo. We are not able to get our children to take the teachings of the Church seriously.

It is inexcusable and unacceptable that Monsignor Garrity, with his chronic history of theological misfeasance and malfeasance, to have access to the Archdiocesan newspaper to publish his theological heresies .

The Archbishop needs to publish a clarification that adherence to Church teaching is the conduit for Sacramental Grace and there is nothing 'ludicrous' about it.

God Bless,

Boston Catholics have been reporting Fr. Garrity's heresy and spiritual abuse to his superiors for close to 20 years. Through four archbishops.

When you think about it, it's unbelievable, isn't it?

Just prior to Cardinal O'Malley's arrival, I remember reporting something and being given a 'heads up' that Monsignor Garrity was 'a friend' of Archbishop O'Malley. This was conveyed in such a way as to alert me to the future of an Archbishop who would use his authority to ensure that Monsignor Garrity would be rewarded for his heresy and those reporting the damage he is doing to their families would be treated as an enemy of the Archbishop.

This warning was right on the money.

Several years back, Monsignor Garrity was assigned to an affluent suburb of Boston in a parish that had been very-well catechized for several decades by outstanding and faithful pastors. Monsignor Garrity tore families and the parish apart with his heresies.

I just recently learned of his promotion to the most affluent parish in the diocese in the Town of Lexington. I was upset when I heard it. The good old boy network has flourished and been rewarded under Cardinal O'Malley and the hostile treatment of the victims of cretin priests is more endemic to the culture than ever. My friend reminded me that Monsignor Garrity will likely do little damage in Lexington. He will be with all the other moonbats.

Having this personal history, when looking at the photographs of the Cardinal and Monsignor Garrity, it did not go unnoticed that they have begun to take on an identical appearance. Kinda creepy. When one adds Fr. Austin Fleming into the mix, they look like identical triplets separated at birth.


Dr. Fitzgibbons has an outstanding article on the damage of cheapening marriage.



Who do they think they are kidding.



BREAKING UPDATE:


Michael Hichborn has written an open letter to Cardinal O'Malley:

Open Letter to Cardinal O'Malley

Thank you Michael (and many thanks to Michael V and staff!)

Will Pope Francis Create a Faster Proocess to Renounce Holy Orders?


I'm sure they would be appalled at the suggestion because they take the Sacrament too seriously.



To tell you the truth, I thought the news on annulments was going to be much worse. Ed Peters has some balanced commentary.

Don't worry folks, somebody is going to write up a readers digest version and the Bishop himself will adjudicate.

Bishops will finally have something to do besides once a year Confirmation!

I wonder if they will set up offices at the airports?

I find it very interesting that when the new Romans thought about the problems with marriage - their energy, treasure, time and talents wasn't better Catechesis and marriage prep, it was cutting through the red tape of Catholic divorce.

The Holy Father has won the admiration of Hillary Clinton.



"I am not a Catholic, but I am a great admirer of the pope," Clinton, who is a Methodist, said. "I think that what he's trying to do is take this venerable institution, the Roman Catholic Church, and really, once again, place it on a firm foundation of scriptures of Christ's words."

The Roman Catholic Church has been displaced from Christ words but Pope Francis has arrived to put it back on the foundation of Scripture.

Aren't we lucky?
