The Courage of the Resurrection!
This is the best thing I have seen since the scamdemic started. This Polish pastor kicks the Covidocracy Keystone Cops out, yelling "Gestapo!" and "Nazis!" at them. https://rumble.com/embed/vcqn5j/?pub=4 When I shared the above link on Facebook, someone told me he was a Protestant Pastor. I have never heard of a Polish Protestant Pastor, but if he is not Catholic, we have to ask: When are all Catholic priests going to stand up for their flock like this? Anyway, we're not afraid of a flu when Christ has conquered death either. Here is where I spent my first Solemn High Mass Triduum as Celebrant and also here below as sub-deacon for the Vigil of the Resurrection Solemn High Mass, seen here after Mass near midnight: Reveling in the Easter Son (and Sun) on the Gulf Coast.

Cancel-Culture’s Liberal-Catholic Zombies Are After Me Again
I guess my Holy Week wouldn't be complete without false-accusations...again. This time, I'm considered "racist" for reporting how African immigrants see African-American culture on a podcast. My initial response to such ridiculous accusations is this: Reporting how, for example, Irish-immigrants see Irish-Americans would not be called "biased" by the cancel-culture liberals. Therefore, the very accusation that any comparison between African culture and African-American culture is "racist" naturally presupposes that blacks are an inferior race (which I do not hold, of course.) That the long-held premise of Democrats holding blacks as inferior is the only explanation to come to the conclusion that a discussion on African versus African-American culture is "racist." This is exactly why the cancel-culture has no idea what to do with people like Candace Owens: She does not accept the leftist view that blacks are to be [...]
Home Chapels
I snapped the above pic in the home of some former parishioners of mine who had purchased a new home a few years ago and decided to turn a little circular hallway into a beautiful chapel. Because I had my Mass kit on me while passing through their town recently, I was able to offer Holy Mass on one of the little ledges (less than 11" deep.) The above example is what one can do with a little paint and elbow grease. The father of the family has many children and is a train mechanic, so I don't buy the argument that only the rich can establish a little sanctuary for the Lord. Another devout Catholic family recently turned an entire bedroom into a chapel with an altar upon which I also offered Holy Mass a few times. They allowed [...]

“Take Away Both Our Place and Our Nation”
From today's Gospel in the Friday of Passiontide we read: So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this Man performs many signs. If we let Him go on like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."—John 11:47-48 As Passion week ramps up its tension against Jesus, we are given a rare glimpse into the mind of the Jewish hierarchy today in the 1st century. We know the Pharisees were already willing to kill Jesus out of jealousy, but today we are given an additional reason: They now fear that if they (the Jewish hierarchy) do not compromise with the State, the State will come and take away "our place" (the Temple) and "our nation" (the nation [...]
