Defenders of blessing same-sex couples sometimes separate their persistence in sin from other aspects of their relationship. They argue that everything positive in a sinful relationship should be blessed, despite its sinfulness. This is obvious relativism. It is also unacceptable to compare the sin against nature with couples in an irregular situation. Until now, the Church has accompanied cohabitations and civil unions in the hope that they may become sacramental marriages after the obstacles have ceased. Moreover, non-sacramental unions fulfill the parental vocation according to human nature and are families. This cannot be said in any way about same-sex couples” writes Father Beniamin Sęktas in an Open Letter to the bishops. The priest appeals for Polish shepherds, like other episcopates, to reject the Fiducia supplicans declaration and engage in an internal church dispute with its theses, defending the revealed truth of God and the honor of the Polish cassock.

A few years ago, a Russian Orthodox told me that the worst error the Catholic Church made was having Vatican II. He said nothing good came from it, and this was from an outsider, looking in. For me and countless other Catholics his words are honest and truthful. Vatican II has been and always will be a disaster.

Rev. Fidel Rodriguez, 66, was attacked twice during Eucharists last Sunday by a woman who later claimed she was a "lesbian". The incident took place at St Thomas Aquinas Church in St Cloud, Florida, Diocese of Orlando. The woman first attended the 10am Eucharist, the First Communion of her niece. She stood in line for Communion, went up to the priest but didn't know what to do. The priest, realising that she had no knowledge of the sacrament, politely asked her when she had last received Communion. She replied that it had been many years. He asked her if she had gone to confession, to which she rudely replied, "I don't need to explain that to you". An hour later, at noon, the woman reappeared in the church for another Eucharist, also celebrated by Rev. Rodriguez. The woman was accompanied by her female concubine, whom the priest did not know. The same situation repeated itself. The fury presented herself again to Rev. Rodriguez and asked to be given Communion. He asked her if she had …More

a) The Church needs to restore the altar rail and return to the practice of the faithful receiving Holy Communion on the tongue while kneeling. b) The Sacrament of Penance with priest and penitent separated by a partition/screen should be the norm.
One of the assumptions that seems to animate so many of the conversations surrounding a more synodal Church is that a more “democratized” Catholic Church …

SLIGHT OF HAND! THE TRICK OF “ONENESS” We received a warning from an Italian publication in regards to the agendas the Modernist Vatican would push next with the “even newer” new theology and its even more diabolical. Because now we are going from Masonic principles to outright New Age principles. Heck, if the Novus Ordites have taken the bait thus far why not try it, right? SLIGHT OF HAND! THE TRICK OF “ONENESS”

1. God is the primary origin of all holiness. But the Blessed Virgin gave us Jesus, Who is our Redeemer, and the author of grace. For this reason she may be called the source of grace, the divine aqueduct, as St. Bernard puts it, through which the supernatural life of grace is brought to us. (In adv. Domini, Serm. 2, n.5) She was, moreover, full of grace and outstanding in holiness; as the Mother of God she can obtain anything for us from her divine Son, because “it is the will of God that we receive everything through the hands of Mary.” (St. Bernard, In Nativ. B.M.V., Serm., n. 7) Thirdly, even by her example she can be the source of sanctity for us. If we study her amazing humility, we shall learn to be humble, for our sinfulness gives us such good reason to humble ourselves. If we meditate on her spotless purity we shall experience a great desire and love for this beautiful virtue and shall have recourse to her in every danger to save us from impurity. Then let us reflect on her …More
