An excellent post. As Vorris points out, the wheels really came off when we decoupled sexual union from Child-bearing through contraception, as Vorris puts it, when we said "Sex and procreation have no necessary connection." Once that was done and became the thinking, it isn't far to saying anyone can have sex with anyone. And that contraceptive mentality is at the heart of all this mess. In this sense, it can be rightly argued, as St. Paul does in Romans 1, that it is not merely that God will … [More]

So sad to see catholics savaging eachother. Especially when the enemy without is so strong. Nevertheless we continue to savage fellow Catholics. The devil sits back, enjoys, and orders another demon to peal him a grape.

Musically magnificent. I do question having little girls get all dolled up and made up to look like grown women. But she has magnificent talent

Well analyzed. I think the pollsters in the media oversample Dems and thus skew left.

Te numbers are very alarming and i have surely seen the drastic declines in my 51 years too. That said, and while I agree that clear articulation of the faith is essential, something which I ttry to do, i wonder if Mr. V has a comprehensive plan. I think it is easy for all of us to criticize and speak of the problem but I wonder really if any of us know what to do? In my parish we go door to door, in this diocese there are five latin mass locations, most of our priests, especially the younger … [More]

Good summary here. Is also a mazing to see how the Protestants who remain in their declining communities are merely doubling down on their liberal deconstructionist notions of biblical and traditional morality. The mainline Protestants are just getting more and more extreme

I might also add that the bishop has good points and simply and publicly dismissing them in a public way as Mr. v does shows a lack of docility. If Mr. V. Where to add to these points or seek to clarify older practices the Bishop critiques, that might be better. Frankly praying the rosary during the mass, and a whispered canon where things worth correcting, his sainted Grandfathers piety notwithstanding. Even as early as the 1940s there was an attempt to get the faithful to use missals and pray … [More]

Mr Vorris rightly notes that the Church has her troubles. Yet I just wish he wasnt so simplistic. For example he notes that the sacred liturgy is ONLY about the worship of God. But orthodoxy avoids the use of such words when it comes to the sacred mysteries. God centered yes, but not only aout God. Otherwise, why direct any words such as the Scriptures to the people at all. Christ worships the Father, and we with him, but Christ the high priest, also ministers to his people. Again, orthodoxy … [More]

What an odd video/ I am not sure who he is referring to when he calls our "professional Catholics." Who are they?

Would a forcible ordination be valid?

They don't even dance very well. If you're going to stupid at least do it with pizzaz. Too bad the priest allowed this disrespect
