Do you wear a Miraculous Medal?

Re: point #5 - I always understood the stars to represent - "We see a series of 12 stars as in the crown of Our Lady crushing the head of the Serpent of which the Apocalypse speaks: "And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars" (12:1)."[taken from another website]

Revenge Francis Takes Action Against Cardinal Burke

If only the "false church" would go up in flames! I worry about the faithful going up in eternal flames through the scandals of this 'pontificate'.

Go Inside The White House As It Unveils 'Inner Child' Holiday Decoration Theme

Too gaudy! Looks like some department store decorations! Plus the nativity set looks like one of those weird Vatican ones. What's with the "ruins" filled with various people instead of a humble manger where there's the ox & ass and lowly shepherds?

Always suspected that these art "attacks" were performance theater allowed by the museums themselves - hence the lack of any guards and even permitting the whole thing to be filmed. CULTURAL VANDALISM!!! steered by elites.

Connecticut Archbishop Calls for Female Deacons, Moving Vatican Out of Rome

Sure move your false "church" outside of Rome ... and give the sacred sites over to real Catholics.

A gay guy with AIDS was the face of Catholic traditionalism

Not surprising that liberal MSM would spin it that way. For them anyone who purports to actually believe the Church's teachings is a trad at best and alt-right at worst! They are just relishing how hypocritical (in their minds) are homophobic Catholics in following a "gay man" 😡 😤

Cultural enricher blocks traffic in Rome because he wants money to let cars pass. Beyond imagination

Where's the police? I've been to Rome and this is the MAIN train/bus terminal that services thousands of people daily. It would be like having one lone person block access to Union station in NYC. Arrest him!

On vocations, asking is key

Though perhaps an unpopular view by some here, I believe the slight increase was due to the somewhat conservative papacies of John Paul II & Benedict XVI (and yes, I know that these 2 men had their problems and might not have been as conservative as they were regarded).

I was in seminary then, and no matter how much crap was thrown at us by our liberal professors, knowing that 'at the top' the faith was still taken seriously was a lifeline. Many just felt if they hunkered down until ordination things would improve. With Francis and his persecution of traditional Catholics, that's all gone now. It's no wonder that young men have no desire to enter the priesthood!

Michael Voris Fired After "Breaching Morality Clause"

I think Voris' ego led the organization to have grandiose expectations. He wanted and even stated that CM would be THE premier Catholic network - eclipsing EWTN (which despite its issues has a global reach in various media). He even wanted to be at the forefront of conservative politics rivaling the Daily Wire & Blaze TV.

Michael Voris Fired After "Breaching Morality Clause"

He should imitate Fr. Corapi - who after all the drama/scandal finally found peace and is just serving as a priest by doing private Masses of reparation.

Food for Thought: How I’m Approaching Thanksgiving Differently This Year - Busted Halo

Well from skimming the article the priest in question feels "shame" that he's a descendant of one of the Mayflower settlers. He says 'even though' he'll be thankful for the blessings God has given he'll be aware of the "complexities" surrounding the holiday of Thanksgiving. So he seems to have bought the historical critical view that bad Europeans came to conquer the Americas. A denial of our founding …More
Well from skimming the article the priest in question feels "shame" that he's a descendant of one of the Mayflower settlers. He says 'even though' he'll be thankful for the blessings God has given he'll be aware of the "complexities" surrounding the holiday of Thanksgiving. So he seems to have bought the historical critical view that bad Europeans came to conquer the Americas. A denial of our founding history - hence a implicit acknowledgement that our civilization is somehow illicit. So yeah, a woke "killjoy" - instead a priest would/should discuss how God in his providence has blessed our nation; and though flawed & even sinful, we should give thanks to Him for his mercy.

Kid in the 1960s asked to predict the year 2000

Our society has been told this narrative for decades. Remember the movie "Soylent Green" which predicted by the 1970s the only left to feed the bloated over-populated earth would be dead corpses! Sadly, many movies today posit an environmental collapse as unavoidable - hence the "fact" of climate change.

‘A gang came to kill people!’ — Teen stabbed to death and 17 wounded during winter ball massacre in …

Read the article linked. No explanation exactly WHO this "gang" was, or its motives. One source quoted the teens were in "the wrong place". Of course one wonders why a "gang" wielding knives was out for blood in a small French village. Well at least it wasn't a lone shooter like happens in the U.S. Seriously, R.I.P. to the victims. 🙏
