This new Hogwarts television series looks quite camp.

The Antisemitic Catholic Everyman Dear Friends: Holy Week is upon us, which means it’s time for the American Catholic Bishops to send out their annual urgent appeal to end Catholic antisemitism. They never target the guilty individuals by name, of course, because that would create opportunity for substantiation of the charges, and we can’t have that. Better to leave it open-ended. No, the episcopal target tends to be Catholic Everyman whose alleged blood hatred is so vile, so real, and so widespread that the shepherds must urgently warn our Jewish brothers and sisters that Easter may be the occasion when Catholic Everyman gets violent. In my new Underground, I tell a tale of two bishops – Cardinal Pizzaballa (Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem), who is begging the world to see that persecuted Christians in the Holy Land are disappearing, and Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland, Oregon who seems to think Jews are evidently in even greater danger since, at any moment, they may encouter a well-armed Catholic Everyman in tactical Easter Bunny costume. I respect Archbishop Sample but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find his sky-is-falling video a bit cringeworthy. But you can decide that for yourself after you watch this week’s Underground: youtube.com/watch?v=2ndXO8… As Christian persecution reaches global critical mass – with human rights groups classifying Christians as the most persecuted religious group in the world – I wonder why Archbishop Alexander Sample is taking time out to warn us of Easter violence perpetrated by Catholics against Jews. Where is this happening? Who are these hateful Catholics that pose such a clear and present danger that our bishops must sound the alarm? And why is such widespread Catholic violence not dominating the headlines? Of course, antisemitism is wrong. Of course, it’s a mortal sin. But, in all due respect – given the global Christian persecution – Archbishop Sample's PSA comes off a bit like a man pacing the promenade of the sinking Titanic but fretting over the fate of the Lusitania. So, I’ve got a few questions to ask in the new Underground: - Does this episcopal handwringing have anything to do with the American Jewish Committee’s contention that the Catholic Church herself is a hate group? - Is Archbishop Sample unconcerned that his comments are music to the ears of Christophobes who denounce the New Testament itself as antisemitic? - Where is the USCCB’s Holy Week condemnation of the Christophobic hate that has led to hundreds of church burnings in Canada, violence against Christians in Africa, and priests being attacked at their own altars in France? - Where is the USCCB reminder of the great good the Catholic Church has done not only for billions of souls, but also for the physical health and education of entire civilizations? - What is going on here, and does it have anything to do with the bishops' quiet rejection of the defined dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus? My opinion as laid out in this week’s Underground is that this has a lot to do with the Catholic Church’s claim to be the one true Church of Jesus Christ. It’s a not-so-veiled attack on Him. Check it out, and let me know what you think: youtube.com/watch?v=2ndXO8… In Christo Rege, Michael J. Matt

Whatever a man does to curb his desires is considered fasting. Whatever a man does out of love for his neighbor is considered alms-deeds. Whatever a man does for the worship of God is considered prayer.

En sus últimos días, Mons. Lefebvre vivió con una total confianza en Dios, aceptando la enfermedad. Hasta el final, mantuvo la paz y la certeza de haber cumplido su misión: transmitir íntegramente la fe, el sacerdocio y la Tradición de la Iglesia fsspx.news/es/news/hace-3…

The Mass is free!!! (Just kidding.)

It would be a mistake to respond to the Pope’s words with systematic distrust. But it would be an even greater mistake to confuse a change of tone with a change of course- Miguel Escriva

The words of Leo XIV are hopeful, yes, but they are not enough on their own. It is not enough to invoke generosity if in practice a regime of suspicion, suffocation, and exclusion is maintained- Miguel Escriva

The traditional Roman rite is, in fact, cornered, monitored, and in many dioceses practically proscribed. There are young priests who do not dare to celebrate Masses in the ancient rite for fear of being marked by their bishops, sidelined, or punished- Miguel Escriva

Curb your enthusiasm.

Everyone is gathering outside the hospital in Barcelona that 25-year-old Noelia Castillo Ramos will be euthanized in 10 hours from now. Many more coming tomorrow. If she chooses to let them take her life, she will know that millions of people around the world are going to miss her. The government took her from her parents during their financial struggles and put her in a home for teens. While she was there alone and scared, a bunch of them gang r*ped her. Nobody stopped them. Nobody helped. Those teens (believed to mainly be from other countries) were never arrested and are still walking free. She attempted to take her life from the 5th story of the building, but God decided it was not her time to go yet. She is dealing with pain and difficulty caring for herself, but AI medical advancements in that area provide hope that she will be in a good place again soon. The message this sends to young people is heartbreaking. She is not terminally ill and without hope. She is depressed and needs help from the community around her. They want us to feel valueless and become desensitized to this. We can never allow that. Join me in praying for a miracle tomorrow!

I am appalled that—while Päivi Räsänen was thankfully acquitted for her 2019 Bible verse tweet—the Finnish Supreme Court has convicted her of criminal “hate speech” for a church pamphlet she wrote in 2004, long before the law in question was passed. Her Lutheran bishop, Juhana Pohjola, was also convicted for publishing the pamphlet, when all they did was share their beliefs in the public square. In its 3-2 ruling, the Court ordered the pamphlet to be “removed from public access and destroyed.” This is a dark day for freedom in Europe and across the Western world. Punishing peaceful expression undermines the very foundation of free societies. The right to speak freely, including on matters of faith and morality, is firmly protected under international law. We will continue to stand with Dr. Räsänen and Bishop Pohjola as they consider an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. The Western world has aggressively adopted more and more restrictions on speech. This case makes clear beyond doubt that now is the time for the governments of Europe to repeal unjust “hate speech laws” and commit to a free speech reset.

Parolin would use the 1962 Missal tomorrow, if he thought it would enhance his power and shore up his legacy. Roche is also opportunistic, but unlike Parolin, he lacks even an elementary sense of diplomatic savoir fare.

With the great Finnish MP Päivi Räsänan - now found guilty of “hate speech under the “war crimes & crimes against humanity” in Finland - for quoting orthodox biblical teaching on human sexuality - dark days ahead for Europe! ⁦@ADFIntl⁩

Along with the disparaging & tendentious term "Vetus Ordo" ("Old Order") for the TLM is the blasphemous & abominable "Extraordinary Form" of the "one Roman Rite," the New Mass being the "Ordinary Form." Most V2ers find nothing wrong with this sacrilegious inversion because their minds have been seared by the belief that everything evolves - as long as God guides the process. So they accept the New Mass as part of the evolution of the Liturgy. One of the classic descriptions of the Church is "semper idem," i.e., "always the same." When Our Lady of Fatima warned against immodest fashions that would be introduced, She added, "The Church has no fashions. Jesus is always the same." Do you think there might be a connection between the Novus Ordo Missae & the Novus Ordo Saeculorum? I'd say the first is in the sevice of the other.

It infuriates me seeing the episcopal throne of St. Augustine, apostle to the English, desecrated It has been desecrated since the heresiarch Henry VIII’s schism from eternal Rome Now the desecration intensifies with a woman pretending to be the successor of St. Augustine St. Augustine would not recognise her as his successor It is a sacrilegious sham

Cardinal Eijk, Archbishop of Utrecht and Primate of the Netherlands: “It is remarkable that a significant number of (young people) are finding their way to Christ and his Church through the Tridentine Mass”

Cardinal Parolin’s intervention is non-committal, but it appears designed to temper the rhetoric that has accompanied restrictions since Pope Francis’s motu proprio Traditionis Custodes- Niwa Limbu Leash those Novus dogs!

"Friendship with falsehood is enmity with God." A leaked USCCB memo pushes back against @CarriePrejean1 claims in February's Religious Liberty Commission and calls for all clergy to clarify the church's teachings on Judaism during Palm Sunday. Pray that our church shepherds do not get distracted with politics and interfaith dialogue but speak the truth of Christ and His Church.

This is what masquerades as Christianity nowadays in the UK The openly homosexual Dean of Canterbury Cathedral installs the openly pro-abortion woman as sham archbishop of Canterbury All approved by the presence of the Catholic archbishop of Westminster
