OMG! All Saints 'Catholic' Church, Syracuse NY!

Just so that everyone is aware… this is exactly why there has been a traditionalist reaction in the Catholic Church in the United States. This, right here. Next time you ask why the Catholic vote went left… understand this has been an infiltration for decades. Good for the bishop to be on this, and hopefully a quick resolution will be in order towards orthodoxy. https://t.co/ltJWHL1b6R

Watch What He Says AND What He Does . . .

SCANDAL? Pope Leo appoints feminist theologian who favors homosexual blessings to a Vatican dicastery.
 

Can Someone Please Explain THIS!?

Why does Pope Leo keep hobnobbing with celebrities? Huh? Many have hardly lived exemplary lives and who knows if they're Catholic, or even Christian for that matter.

And why are they granted "private" audiences when ordinary Catholics can't seem to get anywhere near the Pope?

Pope Leo XIV met with American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan in a private audience on Wednesday, November 4. https://t.co/7OAJcluj0n

President Trump's ALL SAINTS DAY Message!

From the President of the United States:

On All Saints’ Day, I join Christians across our Nation in honoring the men and women through the centuries whose extraordinary lives of faithfulness reveal the great goodness and love to which human beings can aspire.

Every generation of Americans has understood the profound power of the example of a heroic and holy life, which is why the names of saints are so interwoven throughout the American landscape.  We have San Francisco, California, named for Saint Francis of Assisi; San Antonio, Texas, named for Saint Anthony of Padua; St. Louis, Missouri, named for a saintly king of France; and St. Paul, Minnesota, named for the great Apostle.  From Santa Monica, California, to St. Augustine, Florida, saints greet us on maps and road signs across the country.

Saints are just as present in the institutions we know and trust.  Families turn to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital when a child is gravely ill.  Young Americans study at Saint John’s University, Saint Louis University, Saint Bonaventure University, and many other colleges and universities named for saints.  Every March, millions of Americans celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day with parades, music, and the wearing of green.

Even our professional sports carry this legacy.  When New Orleans received its National Football League franchise on November 1, 1966, the date was no accident:  It was All Saints’ Day.  A local businessman championed the name “Saints,” inspired by the city’s celebrated jazz anthem, “When the Saints Go Marching In.”

From sea to shining sea, these names are a constant reminder that a great civilization needs more than material success.  It needs examples of goodness.  It needs heroes not only of strength and achievement but also of mercy, sacrifice, humility, and love.

In the United States, we especially honor Saint Junípero Serra, who carried the Christian faith through the missions of California; Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, who helped build Catholic education in America; Saint Katharine Drexel, who devoted her fortune and her life to educating and serving poor and impoverished communities; and Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, who established schools, orphanages, and hospitals, putting Christian charity into action and bringing the hope of Jesus to those most in need.  Countless other saints—parents, teachers, nurses, workers, missionaries, and neighbors whose names history never recorded—quietly showed what holiness can look like in ordinary life.

All Saints’ Day proclaims a truth at the heart of the Christian faith:  Death does not have the final word.  Christians believe that through the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the grave has been conquered and eternal life has been opened to all who believe in Him.  The saints are witnesses to that promise.  We honor them not merely as heroes of the past but also as signs of the hope that extends to every human life and reaches beyond our earthly existence.

On this All Saints’ Day, Melania and I offer our warmest greetings to all who observe this holy feast.  I will always defend the freedom of Americans to express their faith openly and without fear.  May the lives of the saints renew our gratitude for our Nation’s spiritual inheritance; strengthen our resolve to love and serve one another; and inspire us to live with the faith, courage, and charity that make a people—and a nation—forever great.

What The Hell Is Happening To The Church?

From our friend, Christine Flowers:

As a Catholic, I am repelled by the groveling of a Catholic Bishop who is apologizing for appearing to pray with President Trump. This is the opposite of what I wrote about in today’s column where JFK had to prove his independence from the Vatican to American Protestants. This is a Catholic prelate being forced by, let’s be honest, Catholics who oppose Trump into obsequiously saying he never meant to “influence” an election.

I do not recall the Church coming out and condemning the Bishops who have prayed with and given communion to pro abortion faux Catholics like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. What is going on in Milwaukee?

When Bad Things Happen -- Turn Away From God?

Billy Crystal told the CBS Sunday Morning TV show that he no longer trusts God after experiencing two very painful life tragedies. He lost his family’s Pacific Palisades home of 46 years in the 2025 wildfires. And then he was faced with the murder of his close friends Rob and Michele Reiner. He told the media that he wasn’t speaking to God anymore “cause I don’t trust Him. Too many bad things have happened. The earth is in bad shape. This is a weird, scary time.”

The last part of Billy's statement sounds vaguely political: "a weird, scary time." We've heard these sorts of phrases from liberal Hollywood cognoscenti again and again. These are basically woke code words.

The murders of the Reiners by their own mentally troubled son? Tragic and horrific! No doubt about it.

"Not speaking" to God anymore? All we can say is that Christianity does not view doubt or a breakdown in trust as an unforgivable wall, but as an honest human struggle. Figures throughout the Bible—such as Job, David (e.g., Psalm 22), and various prophets—expressed deep confusion, anger, or feelings of abandonment, yet God continued to engage with them. 

When a person stops speaking out of hurt or distrust, Christian teaching holds that God's silence is rarely punitive. Instead, it is often seen as a space for grace, patience, or an invitation to bring raw and honest feelings (including anger and doubt) back to Him in prayer. 

We're taught that God does not abandon or stop loving someone who pulls away or struggles with trust. 

In the meantime, Billy has turned his story into a hugely successful one-man Broadway Show called 860 which was his Pacific Palisades address. We wish him well. 

Rebecca Bennett? ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE!

@RebeccaForNJ07 admitted she stopped going to church because she couldn’t stand to sit with Republican neighbors. If you refuse to share a pew with people who hold different political views, how can you possibly represent all of NJ-07 in Washington? https://t.co/8ODkl8He06

A Messsage From The Archbishop Of Philadelhia

I was deeply saddened to learn that Officer Shane Seiber of the Philadelphia Police department was shot and killed while serving our city in the line of duty early this morning. On behalf of the bishops, priests, deacons, consecrated religious, and lay faithful of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, I extend prayerful condolences to Officer Seiber’s widow, his young children, his other family members, and many friends as they mourn his tragic and untimely death. Our heartfelt sympathy also goes out to Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel and the faithful men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department as they cope with the death of a brother in blue who embodied the department’s motto of honor, integrity, and service for the past decade.   I have asked all people in the Catholic Church of Philadelphia to join me in praying for the happy repose of Officer Seiber’s soul and that God may bring peace and consolation to all those suffering at this painful moment. May the Lord pour His mercy upon them and hold them in His loving embrace. In addition, I ask all people of goodwill to join me in fervently praying for the swift recovery of the officer who was severely wounded alongside Officer Seiber today. Dark moments like this one are a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the need to turn to God. May we follow his will, seek the conversion of heart of those who would do violence, and work as one family to overcome the many challenges facing our society. We owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to all of the first responders who put their lives on the line to protect us each day. May God watch over and protect them. Most Reverend Nelson J. Pérez, D.D. Archbishop of Philadelphia

 

NOBODY Explained It Better Than He Did!

June 10, 1944. Normandy. Those US soldiers were there fighting Nazi occupiers. Did God not hear their prayers, @pontifex? Was that military chaplain's mass invalid?

An Important Message For All Virginia Voters!

To every pro lifer in Virginia:
Please, listen to the Bishop.
In Michigan, Planned Parenthood spent millions of dollars and flooded the airways to ensure we would enshrine in our constitution the most radical pro-abortion position possible.

Happy New Year To All Our Wonderful Friends!

 

The REAL Meaning Of Work And Labor . . . .

This Labor Day message was posted quite a number of years ago from then Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput. It ramains exceptionally relevant:

Today we celebrate Labor Day. Traditionally, it's a day of rest set aside to celebrate the American worker's contributions to society, but this holiday is much more than that. It's an opportunity to recommit ourselves to promoting and protecting the God-given dignity of everyone.Work is meant to be for the sake of the family. We do not undertake labor for its own sake, but as a way to grow toward lasting and meaningful realities in our lives and communities. Parents are called to be providers and educators to their children, passing down essential values and creating a home environment in which all members of the family can be fully present to one another and grow. Dignity-filled work and the fruits of that labor nourish families, communities, and the common good.This Labor Day and always, let us pray, reflect, and act, seeking to restore our work and relationships to the honored place God has ordained for them. May the Lord give you peace.

A Morally Confused Medical Comparison!

 

A very special message from catholicvote.org:   If you didn’t see Jesse Watters interviewing Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News last night, you missed a revealing moment that cuts beneath the usual policy debate to something more fundamental.   El-Sayed showed himself to be precisely what Michigan does not need in elected office. Beyond exposing a shallow grasp of basic economics, he made a comparison so medically and morally confused that it lays bare the deeper problem with where certain ideological currents in our politics have arrived.   In an exchange about so-called “gender change” surgery, Watters asked El-Sayed whether he supported allowing a doctor to surgically remove a young boy's male anatomy. El-Sayed's response was not a defense of children. It was a deflection: "Are you circumcised?"   Watters couldn't believe what he was hearing. His reply, "circumcision is different than castration," expressed what most reasonable people watching already knew.   He is right. And the distinction matters enormously.   El-Sayed, a physician with an M.D. from Columbia University, placed a minor, medically routine procedure that does nothing to alter the function of the human body on the same moral and clinical level as a surgery that permanently destroys a child's capacity to father children.   Circumcision is not castration. One has thousands of years of medical and cultural precedent; the other is an irreversible alteration of a healthy body belonging to a child who has no say in the matter and no ability to reclaim what has been taken once it is gone.   This is not a difference of medical opinion, but a failure of basic moral reasoning. And it reveals something about where a particular ideology has arrived: a place where the healthy bodies of children are treated as problems awaiting correction.   People who reason this way have disqualified themselves from public trust.    The Watters interview is emblematic of where we stand as a society and of where we must hold the line. Not merely on the political question of who wins in November, but on something prior to politics: the recognition that children are not experiments and that no movement's preferred conclusions change what every serious moral tradition has always understood about the protection of the young.   In other words, natural law does not require a theology degree to understand.   There are economic and policy reasons aplenty to reject Abdul El-Sayed's candidacy. But what last night's interview made plain is that the deepest stakes in elections like this one are not economic. They concern what we believe about the human person and whether the people we send to govern us are willing to protect children even when an ideology tells them not to.   Michigan voters, the ball is in your court.   Go forward bravely,

Kelsey Reinhardt President & CEO CatholicVote

How Babe Ruth's Catholic Faith Sustained Him

Facing a health crisis, legendary baseball great Babe Ruth wrote about confession, communion, and the Miraculous Medal in an autobiographical article published in Guideposts magazine in October 1948.

Here's what he said:

“In December, 1946, I was in French Hospital, New York, facing a serious operation. Paul Carey, one of my oldest and closest friends, was by my bed one night. - They’re going to operate in the morning, Babe, Paul said. -Don’t you think you ought to put your house in order? -I didn’t dodge the long, challenging look in his eyes. I knew what he meant. For the first time, I realized that death might strike me out. I nodded, and Paul got up, called in a chaplain, and I made a full confession. -I’ll return in the morning and give you Holy Communion, the chaplain said, -But you don’t have to fast.

-I’ll fast, I said. I didn’t have even a drop of water. -As I lay in bed that evening, I thought to myself what a comforting feeling to be free from fear and worries. I now could simply turn them over to God. Later on, my wife brought in a letter from a little kid in Jersey City. ‘Dear Babe,’ he wrote, ‘Everybody in the seventh grade class is pulling and praying for you. I am enclosing a medal, which if you wear will make you better. Your pal—Mike Quinlan. P.S. I know this will be your 61st homer. You’ll hit it.’ -I asked them to pin the Miraculous Medal to my pyjama coat. I’ve worn the medal constantly ever since. I’ll wear it to my grave.”
