Have America and Russia Switched Roles Since the 1980s?
Putin is dangerous to the Ukrainians, but do you know who is more dangerous? Michael Matt of RemnantTV points out that the globalist communists from the West who are stoking this war are much more dangerous to Ukrainians than anyone in Russia. The New Western Communists who control CNN demand that you fight for the Ukrainians. But these globalists care about the Ukrainians as much as they cared about George Floyd or grandma catching COVID: Not. at. all. It's a ruse for thermonuclear war to reduce the global population—their constant eugenic-based goal in everything they do. As I wrote before, I do not consider Putin to be a good man. But why do the people who hate Christ also seem to hate Russia equally right now? It might have something to do with the culture war. As Putin builds up [...]

TCE 40: Baptizing in an Emergency
Theology and Current Events (TCE) #40 discusses: What do you do if you come across a dying unbaptized adult? What do you do if you come across a dying infant? Can you baptize them? How do you do it? (One thing I forgot to mention in this podcast is that even all healthy Catholic babies used to be baptized within 24 hours of birth. In fact, the Council of Carthage made it absolutely mandatory for Catholic parents never to wait more than a week after birth to baptize their infant, even in a non-emergency.) But this podcast deals with emergencies, specifically. https://rumble.com/embed/vusidk/?pub=e5jg1
What We Must Pray for in this World’s Mess
The above is Our Lady of Grace of the Gate of Dawn of Lithuania. It's the Polish-Lithuanian icon recently placed in my hermitage. Two years ago, leftist lies from BLM and other organizations turned into a race-baiting that probably killed more people than actual racism, at least in the past 20 years of this country's history. Leftist lies also led to an unjustified government lockdown that certainly killed more people than coronavirus. Therefore, I have good reason to believe that leftist lies on the situation in Ukraine will probably kill more people than the Russians. Putin is no saint, but I believe Biden, the EU, NATO and the oligarchic globalists against Putin are worse on any moral-spectrum. I do not know if Putin is invading Ukraine as a land grab or if his invasion is to eliminate NATO weapons on his border. Or [...]
Galvanized Love
I am on a group Signal thread with a couple getting married and they asked me on that thread about how to explain the sacrament of marriage to a group of believers and non-believers: The audience will be people attending the wedding ceremony. Many of them aren’t Catholic or even Christian. The goal is to explain what they are seeing today and why it is important. Part of the explanation is going to be about Christian Marriage as a permanent union of man and woman. The union was made sacred when Christ raised it to the dignity of a Sacrament. The Sacrament of Matrimony is the essential element of the celebration of marriage. In the Marriage Service, the Sacrament of Matrimony is given? Conferred? Ratified? I rather liked my on-the-fly response to them both, and they couple gave me permission [...]

The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats
The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I [...]
