When will he finally shut up! He understands nothing not only in climate science or, as with vaccines, in medicine, but even in religious matters. Who needs or cares about his erroneous, worthless, apostate and heretical thoughts? Let him tell them to Tucho, they are two boots (on the feet of the Antichrist). These boots will likely suffer the same fate as their owner, the Antichrist. Francis still has a little time to repent and try to make amends for the damage and insults he has caused to God, the Church and all the faithful. But, let's be honest, he is unlikely to take advantage of this opportunity.

Since Roe v Wade, the bishops of the US have been pretty much unanimous that “abortion is bad,” but have been far less so where their politics are concerned. They have been far more committed to abolishing the death penalty, which is a penalty commanded by Scripture, and always supported by the Church, but have not ever seriously sought to abolish abortion. It is a horrible scandal. I hope that Catholics are waking up to the fact that their bishop probably wants them to freeze or starve to death, based on the political policies they advocate, but that they don’t care very much at all for the unborn.

One way or another, the Church’s earthly wealth is going to be taken away, just as it was back in the days of St. Lawrence. Will we be able to boast of the true wealth of the Church in her poor faithful as St. Lawrence did?

"The gift that keeps on giving." [sarcasm] In our diocese we are mandated to "commemorate" the "instances of sexual abuse committed by members of the Church" at all Masses tomorrow. Not to make light of this horrible sin & crime - but why do the poor people in the pew have to suffer 'guilt by association' with the perpetrators? It makes NO SENSE! Just like we ALL have to take those 'safe environment ' classes if we want to work in the parish due to the actions of others.

From the Didache "The Lord's Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations." Written in the first century. Pope Clement of Alexandria and other Early Church fathers referred to it as scriptural citation, quoting from it. "Chapter 2. The Second Commandment: Gross Sin Forbidden And the Second Commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit Murder , you shall not commit Adultery, you shall not commit Pederasty, you shall not commit Fornication, you shall not Steal, you shall not practice Magic , you shall not practice Witchcraft , you shall not Murder a child by Abortion nor kill that which is begotten. You shall not covet the things of your neighbor" CHURCH FATHERS: The Didache From the Epistle of Barnabus Barnabas 19:5 You shall not be of doubtful mind James 1:8 as to whether a thing shall be or not. You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain. You shall love your neighbour more than your own soul. You shall not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again …More

This kind of art is ugly but such an act of iconoclasm is even more stupid. For comparision: the beautiful cycle of frescoes depicting St. Benedict of Nursia in the cloister of Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey (Tuscany) was made by a guy nicknamed Sodoma. However, the Olivetine monks were not like today idiots.
