Joe Biden’s speech about the Afghanistan debacle was horrible. Not even the mainstream media was willing to defend it. But the most telling thing about the speech was the reaction from independent voters.
According to recent polling, the majority of independent voters gave Biden a big ol’ “F” while watching him attempt to explain away what happened in Kabul. For the most part, the voters didn’t believe Biden when he said the buck stops with him.
Overall, independent voters felt that Biden spent too much time blame-shifting and no time explaining what actually happened in Afghanistan. They saw Biden’s speech as an attempt to make excuses for what happened instead of trying to own up to the failure and work to fix it.
TEXAS GOVERNOR HAS COVID — Greg Abbott tested positive for the coronavirus, his office said Tuesday. The Republican governor, who’s bucked state and local masking policies, was fully vaccinated against the virus and is asymptomatic so far.
Abbott is receiving Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment, an injection typically used in high-risk patients. The governor uses a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury years ago that also damaged his kidneys, health conditions that could factor into his Covid treatment.
“The Governor has been testing daily, and today was the first positive test result,” his office said in a statement. “The Governor will isolate in the Governor’s Mansion and continue to test daily.”
Abbott attended an event with hundreds of maskless people on Monday night where the governor — also without a face covering — spoke to a packed crowd in Collin County, Texas, Myah Ward reports. Despite rising case numbers and hospitalizations in the state, there was little social distancing in the dense crowd.
Abbott has been one of the governors at the center of the debate surrounding face masks as children head back to school this month. In May, he issued an executive order banning any government entity in Texas from issuing mask requirements, including school districts. Abbott has stuck to this position in recent weeks, even as Covid cases and hospitalizations surge in Texas.

Dear Catholic Friends, Although I wish I had the time to write to you each individually, it is all I can do to send out this “blast” email to myself and to those who are being “blind carbon copied.” Thank you for your understanding.
Although I realize a few of those who will receive this email have not come to the same conclusions about the state of the Church Militant on earth in this time of apostasy and betrayal, I ask them to read the book with dispassion if they have any interest in doing so. With this in mind, I have posted the following notice on my website a few hours ago:
THE PAPERBACK EDITION OF
G.I.RM. WARFARE
THE CONCILIAR CHURCH’S UNREMITTING WARFARE AGAINST CATHOLIC FAITH AND WORSHIP
Unlike the previous editions (2004 and 2005), this current edition has been updated to reflect the conclusion that I reached fifteen years ago concerning the true state of the Church Militant in this time of apostasy and that, therefore, it is impossible for the Catholic Church, she who is the mystical, spotless bride of her Divine Founder, Invisible Head and Mystical Bridegroom, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to give her children a liturgy that is in any way “defective,” no less invalid on its face.
Although much of analysis in this book’s first two editions remains entirely sound, it was nevertheless to review, edit, correct, and update the commentaries on the three hundred ninety-nine paragraphs of the 2002 English edition of the so-called General Instruction to the Roman Missal, which is supposed to do the impossible: “govern” the staging of the abomination of desolation that is the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical travesty. The entirety of G.I.R.M. is suffused with one Modernist presupposition after another and bears testimony throughout its text to the Jansenist anti-liturgical concepts condemned by Pope Pius VI in Auctorem Fidei, August 28, 1794, and, also by Pope Pius XII in Mediator Dei, November 20, 1947.
The first few chapters provide some background about the hijacked Liturgical Movement and then a summary of the overall problems with Novus Ordo service. The appendix includes a slightly enlarged version of my commentary last month about Traditionis Custodes.
The cover of G.I.R.M. Warfare: The Conciliar Church’s Unremitting Warfare Against Catholic Faith and Worship features an image of the Limpias Crucifix in Limpias, Spain, which exhibited numerous and well-documented miracles between 1919 and 1924. Here is an example of one such miracle which attests to the simple fact that the Sacrifice of the Mass is indeed the unbloody perpetuation of Our Lord’s bloody Sacrifice of Himself to His Co-Equal, Co-Eternal God the Father in Spirit and in Truth on the wood of the Holy Cross in atonement for our sins:
Father Joseph Eisenlohr submitted his statement on June 18, 1921. After offering Holy Mass at the altar below the crucifix, he sat in the church while a Mass was celebrated by another priest. He wrote: “After the Santo Cristo moved His head and eyes for a certain time He began to pull at the shoulders, to writhe and to bend, as a man does when he is nailed alive to a cross. Everything was in motion, only the hands and feet remained nailed fast. In the end the whole body relaxed as if exhausted, then took up its natural position again with the head and eyes turned up in the direction of heaven. This whole scene of the dying Saviour lasted from the Sanctus until after the priest’s Communion…” (As found at: Santo Cristo da la Agonia, Limpias, Spain.)
Every Holy Mass is indeed the ineffable Sacrifice of Calvary re-presented in an unbloody manner. Saint Leonard of Port Maurice’s The Hidden Treasure of the Holy Mass is a wonderful means to review the infinite value of Holy Mass and the dispositions that Catholics must have in hearing it worthily.
Biden Runs Off With Tail Between His Legs After Trump Attacks
August 18, 2021
h
No matter how you slice it, Biden’s handling of Afghanistan was a total disaster. Ignoring the warnings and advice of experts, Biden hastily pulled our troops from the country. The government and army quickly collapsed as the Taliban conquered city after city. In a matter of days, they declared themselves rulers of the land.
Their takeover was accelerated, thanks to the fact that Biden left behind countless vehicles, drones, and other military equipment. Taliban fights had access to state-of-the-art gear, as they marched into cities unopposed. Biden abandoned our allies to the wolves, with no apparent contingency plan.
Worse than that, he abandoned roughly 10,000 Americans and many more Afghans that aided our troops.
Donald Trump has frequently been criticizing Biden since the fall of Afghanistan. He has called out Biden’s failure, asking why he made such a terrible move. Now, he’s putting a cap on his comments, with a powerful blow to the administration.
Trump said, “I don’t think in all of the years our country has ever been so humiliated. I don’t know what you call the military defeat or a psychological defeat. There has never been anything like what’s happened here… You are dealing with thousands and thousands of Americans and others that are stranded and very dangerously really stranded in Afghanistan…
“I looked at that big monster cargo plane yesterday with people grabbing the side and trying to get flown out of Afghanistan because of their incredible fear, and they’re blowing off of the plane from 2,000 feet up in the air, nobody has ever seen anything like that. That blows the helicopters in Vietnam away. That is not even a contest. It has been the most humiliating period of time that I’ve ever seen.” [Source: Breitbart]
Trump blasted Biden’s handling of Afghanistan, saying our country has suffered a “psychological” defeat. After twenty years fighting and working in the foreign country, Joe Biden sat back and let our enemies take over. There’s no telling what the Taliban—a terrorist organization with ties to the Islamic State—will do to the citizens of Afghanistan.
There are many Afghans who worked with the United States over the years. They aided our troops in securing the country and establishing a democratic government. The Taliban has every reason to hunt down these people and punish them. Assurances by this murderous regime that they’ll be peaceful are not worth the paper they’re written on. That is why so many are trying to flee the country.
Trump referenced the nightmarish scenes at the Kabul airport. Out of fear of what the Taliban might do, they canceled commercial flights out of the country. That left countless people stranded. As U.S. Air Force evacuation planes were taking off, desperate people clung to their outsides. Many fell to their deaths.
This is a major disgrace and black mark on our country—and on Joe Biden’s presidency. He continues to crow that he is a better man than Trump. Yet we haven’t seen any policy of Biden’s that is actually making America or the world a better place. He continues to fail again and again.
Did Biden & Francis Steal the Elections & do Stolen Elections have Consequences?
We will get to “Did Joe Biden and Francis steal their elections?”, but first let’s get to some of the consequences of the “elections” of Biden and Francis:
Francis consequences:
– Brutal betrayal of Jesus Christ by Francis’s sacrilege of Communion for adulterers
– Brutal betrayal of Chinese Catholics by Francis’s Chinese Deal
– Brutal betrayal of the Virgin Mary by Francis’s sacrilege of Pachamama worship in the Vatican
– Brutal betrayal of Pope Benedict XVI by Francis’s attack on Traditional Catholics
– Brutal betrayal of unborn babies by Francis promoting of abortion politicians like Biden
– Francis “Catholic” Biden’s attack on unborn babies, the border crisis, food and gas price inflation, etc…
Biden’s most recent consequences from Gateway Pundit:
Is it possible for someone to be a antipope even though the majority of cardinals claim he is pope?
Yes, if the antipope got illegal votes or other illegal actions were taken or happened contrary to the conclave constitution. The case of Antipope Anacletus II proves that it is possible for a majority of cardinals to claim a man is pope while he, in reality, is an antipope. In 1130, a majority of cardinals voted for Cardinal Peter Pierleone to be pope. He called himself Anacletus II. He was proclaimed pope and ruled Rome for eight years by vote and consent of a absolute majority of the cardinals despite the fact he was a antipope.
In 1130, just prior to the election of antipope Anacletus, a small minority of cardinals elected the real pope: Pope Innocent II.
How is this possible?
St. Bernard said “the ‘sanior pars’ (the wiser portion)… declared in favor of Innocent II. By this he probably meant a majority of the cardinal-bishops.”(St. Bernard of Clairvaux by Leon Christiani, Page 72) Again, how is this possible when the absolute majority of cardinals voted for Anacletus?
Historian Warren Carroll explains: “[C]anon law does not bind a Pope arranging for his successor… [Papal Chancellor] Haimeric proposed that… a commission of eight cardinals should be selected to choose the next Pope… strong evidence [shows] that the Pope [Honorius] endorsed what Haimeric was doing, including the establishment of the electoral commission [of eight cardinals].”(The Glory of Christendom, Pages 36-37) The majority or “sanior pars,” five cardinals out of eight of “the electoral commission,” elected Pope Innocent II as St. Bernard said and as evidence shows was the will of the previous pope in what we can call a constitution for the election of his successor.
In the same way, is it possible that Francis was not elected pope even though he received a absolute majority of cardinals votes and is now as in the case of Anacletus proclaimed pope by the same absolute majority?
As with the case of Anacletus, it is possible Francis is a antipope if his election contradicted or violated the constitution promulgated by Pope John Paul II for electing his successor. The award-winning Mexican journalist and President of Vida para Nacer Jose Munguia who studied theology at the Gregorian University in Rome brings forward evidence that there were “serious irregularities” against John Paul II’s constitution that governed the 2013 conclave that could invalidate the conclave which elected Francis:
“Article 79 of the Constitution Universi Domenici Gregis, which establishes the details of how the conclave must be celebrated, says the following: ‘Confirming the prescriptions of my predecessors, I likewise forbid anyone, even if he is a cardinal, during the Pope’s lifetime and without having consulted him, to make plans concerning the election of his successor, or to promise votes, or to make decisions in this regard in private gatherings’.”
“And in article 81 it is established that these agreements are punished with excommunication latae sententiae (i.e. automatic, without the need of a declaration by anybody, ipso facto and eo ipsa).”
“The information revealed by Cardinal Daneels days before the Synod, coincides with that published by Austin Ivereigh, in his book “The Great Reformer” in which he reveals how, during the 2013 conclave, four cardinals from the Mafioso Saint Galen group (Kasper, Lehman, Danneels and Murphy O’Connor) came together to illicitly orchestrate a campaign in favour of the election of Bergoglio, after the latter had agreed to be the beneficiary of this scheming.”
“… After the election came the two books which revealed the serious irregularities committed within the conclave that elected Bergoglio. The first is the [Spanish language] book by Elisabbeta Piqué (Bergoglio’s authorised biographer from Argentina) entitled ‘Francisco, Vida y Revolución’ (Francisco, Life and Revolution). Piqué knew, through Francis himself, what happened inside the conclave. The other book is by the famous vaticanologist Antonio Socci ‘Non é Francesco’ (Francis is not the Pope).”
“The revelations of [Spanish speaking] Piqué [which are almost unknown to the English speaking world] are so well believed as coming from Francis that the Osservatore Romano, the official Vatican newspaper, published the chapter that deals with how the conclave developed. Vatican Radio and Television did likewise. What happened is that Bergoglio, on being elected Pope, felt that the threat of excommunication – which falls on any cardinal for revealing what happened in the conclave – no longer affected him and related to the journalist the things that happened within the Sistine Chapel.”
“The narration: In the conclave, in the evening of the 13th of March, in the fourth vote count of the day, there were 116 votes when there were only 115 cardinals in the hall. One cardinal put in one paper too many. This fourth vote was won by Cardinal Angelo Scola of Milan (The Italian Episcopal Conference itself released a bulletin congratulating Scola for having been elected Pope). This vote count was improperly annulled. Angelo Scola’s website published that the recently elected Pope had taken the name of John XXIV. Wikipedia also published it. A few minutes later both sites took down this result. What happened is that when the recently elected Pope was on his way to the balcony of Saint Peter’s, a group of cardinals, mostly Germans and Americans, approached him to tell him that he had to return to the Sistine Chapel because the vote count had to be annulled.”
“Now, the Apostolic Constitution Universi Domenici Gregis (Art 69) establishes that if two folded papers came from the same cardinal with the same name or if one was blank, they must be counted as a single vote. If, on the other hand, there were two different names, both papers are annulled and none of the two votes is valid. But it clearly establishes: “In none of the two cases must the election be annulled”. In this case there was an extra white paper. The established procedure was not followed but rather the election was annulled, which was expressly prohibited.”
“Contravening the dispositions of the Constitution, the fourth vote count was declared null, they forced Cardinal Angelo Scola, recently elected and having taken the name of John XXIV, to resign and return to the Sistine Chapel, and they proceeded with a fifth vote in which Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected.”
“This was the second irregularity of the conclave, because the Constitution establishes (Art 63) that there must only be four voting sessions per day, two in the morning and two in the evening.”
“The case for saying that the designation of Bergoglio is effectively invalid is clear, according to canon lawyers, who refer us to article 76 which states: ‘Should the election take place in a way other than that prescribed in the present Constitution, or should the conditions laid down here not be observed, the election is for this very reason null and void, without any need for a declaration on the matter; consequently, it confers no right on the one elected’.”
“This pile of evidence led Cardinal George Pell to declare that Francis could well be the 38th antipope in the history of the church, and not the 266th Pope as the vast majority believe.”
“Finally, it is worth pointing out here, that even if all the aforementioned be cast in doubt or discredited, all opposing arguments collapse with Cardinal Danneels’s admission in his biography, that he and a group of cardinals, the “Mafia Club”, plotted to force Benedict XVI to resign. When you have a confession, proof is not necessary.”[https://www.ultimostiempos.org/en/blog-en/item/81-antipopes-conclave.html]
Bishop Rene Gracida, also, brings forward evidence that the conclave that elected Francis was invalid because there were “serious irregularities” against John Paul II’s constitution that governed the 2013 conclave.
However, the popular and respected traditional Catholic commentator Steve Skojec on May 7, 2018 apparently rejected Bishop Gracida’s call for the cardinals to judge if Francis’s election to the papacy was valid calling the validity question itself a “potentially dangerous rabbit hole.” (Onepeterfive, “Cardinal Eijk References End Times Prophecy in Intercommunion,” May 7, 2018)
At the time, Skojec referred back to his September 26, 2017 post where he said:
“JPII has removed the election-nullifying consequences of simony… nowhere else in the following paragraphs is nullity of the election even implied.” (Onepeterfive, “A Brief note on the Question of a Legally Valid Election,” September 26, 2017)
Bishop Gracida shows that Skojec is wrong in his Open Letter quoting Pope John Paul II’s Universi Dominici Gregis’ introductory perambulary and paragraph 76:
– “I further confirm, by my Apostlic authority, the duty of maintaining the strictest secrecy with regard to everything that directly or indirectly concerns the election process” [the above which Gracida clearly shows in his Open Letter was not maintained thus making the conclave and Francis’s papacy invalid according to the Bishop]. (Introductory perambulary)
– “Should the election take place in a way other than laid down here not to be observed, the election is for this very reason null and void.” (Paragraph 76)
Gracida’s Open Letter, moreover, shows that Skojec is wrong above:
“The clear exception from nullity and invalidity for simony proves the general rule that other violations of the sacred process certainly do and did result in the nullity and invalidity of the entire conclave.”
On top of all that, Skojec ignores paragraph 5 and contrary to what conservative canon lawyer Edward Peters has said about Universi Dominici Gregis when he suggests canon lawyers have a role in interpreting the John Paul II Constitution, the document says:
“Should doubts arise concerning the prescriptions contained in this Constitution, or concerning the manner of putting them into effect. I [Pope John Paul II] Decree that all power of issuing a judgment of this in this regard to the College of Cardinals, to which I grant the faculty of interpreting doubtful or controverted points.” (Universi Dominici Gregis, paragraph 5)
Later in the paragraph it says “except the act of the election,” which can be interpreted in a number of ways.
The point is, as Bishop Gracida says and Universi Dominici Gregis said, only the cardinals can interpret its meaning, not Skojec, not canon lawyers or anyone else.
The Bishop is saying what the document says: only the cardinals can interpret it.
He, also, says put pressure on the cardinals to act and interpret it which both Skojec and Peters appear to prefer to ignore.
Moreover, Bishop Gracida’s Open Letter and Pope John Paul II’s document make a number of points which neither Skojec, Peters or anyone else to my knowledge have even brought up or offered any counter argument against.
I have great respect for both Skojec and Peters, but unless Gracida’s Open Letter is squarely responded to my respect for them will greatly diminish for they will be neglecting their responsibility to God and His Church.
They are both wrong if they ignore this important Open Letter of Bishop Gracida.
If Peters and Skojec as well as the conservative and traditional Catholic media are ignoring Bishop Gracida because he isn’t a cardinal and retired, remember that St. Athanasius wasn’t a cardinal (that is involved in the selection or election process of the pope of the time) and was retired.
During the Arian heresy crisis, Pope Liberius excommunicated Athanasius. You don’t get any more retired than being excommunicated.
Skojec gave blogger Ann Barnhardt’s analysis of the papal validity a long article and podcast. The only bishop in the world contesting Francis in a meaningful way deserves as much. Why is he apparently so afraid of Bishop Gracida?
Skojec and Peters need to answer Gracida’s theologically clear and precise arguments and either clearly and precisely counter them or put pressure on the cardinals to put into action the needed canonical procedures to remove Francis if he was “never validly elected” the pope or else remove him from the Petrine office for heterodoxy.
Francis is not orthodox so there are only two things he could be:
1. A validly elected pope who is a material heretic until cardinals correct him and then canonically proclaim he is a formal heretic if he doesn’t recant thus deposing him (See: “Unambiguously Pope Francis Materially Professes Death Penalty Heresy: Cd. Burke: ‘If a Pope would Formally Profess Heresy he would Cease, by that Act, to be the Pope'”: http://catholicmonitor.blogspot.com/2018/08/unambiguously-pope-francis-materially.html?m=1) or
2. a invalidly elected antipope who is a heretic.
The point is whether you think using all the information available 1. is the objective truth or 2. is the objective truth you must act.
You must as the Bishop says put: “pressure on the cardinals to act” whichever you think.
There are many ways to put pressure such as pray and offer Masses for this intention, send the Gracida link to priests, bishops and cardinals, make signs and pray the rosary in front of their offices as we do in front of abortion clinics. Use your imagination to come up with other ideas.
Gracida is calling the cardinals to “[a]ddress… [the] probable invalidity” before they attempt to depose him from the Petrine office for heterodoxy. But, just as importantly he is calling all faithful Catholics to act and not just bemoan Francis’s heresy.
Bishop Gracida in a email to me and through the Catholic Monitor to all faithful Catholics said:
“ONE CAN SAY THAT FRANCIS THE MERCIFUL IS A HERETIC UNTIL ONE DIES BUT IT CHANGES NOTHING. WHAT IS NEEDED IS ACTION… WE MUST PRESSURE THE CARDINALS TOACT. SEND THAT LINK TO EVERY PRIEST AND BISHOP YOU KNOW”: https://wp.me/px5Zw-95e.
Remember that many who are calling those like Bishop Gracida, journalist Munguia and others “schismatics” for calling for a cardinal investigation are following in the footsteps of the real schismatics who promoted and followed Antipope Anacletus II. Renowned Catholic historian Carroll explicitly says that what matters in a valid papal election is not how many cardinals claim a person is the pope. What is essential for determining if someone is pope or antipope is the “election procedures… [as] governed by the prescription of the last Pope”:
“Papal election procedures are governed by the prescription of the last Pope who provided for them (that is, any Pope can change them, but they remain in effect until they are changed by a duly elected Pope).”
“During the first thousand years of the history of the Papacy the electors were the clergy of Rome (priests and deacons); during the second thousand years we have had the College of Cardinals.”
“But each Pope, having unlimited sovereign power as head of the Church, can prescribe any method for the election of his successor(s) that he chooses. These methods must then be followed in the next election after the death of the Pope who prescribed it, and thereafter until they are changed. A Papal claimant not following these methods is also an Antipope.”
“Since Antipopes by definition base their claims on defiance of proper Church authority, all have been harmful to the Church, though a few have later reformed after giving up their claims.” [http://www.ewtn.com/library/homelibr/antipope.txt]
The schismatic followers of Antipope Anacletus II didn’t want St. Bernard to investigate who was the real pope. It was the followers of the real pontiff Pope Innocent II who asked Bernard to investigate.
Why are so many traditional and conservative Catholics afraid of a cardinal investigation of the apparent “serious irregularities” against John Paul II’s constitution that governed the 2013 conclave that could invalidate the conclave which elected Francis?
March 18 & 19, 2019 Note:
I have gotten some push back from Skojec’s blog in a post by Robert Siscoe and from someone about a bishop who attacked Bishop Gracida apparently using Siscoe’s claim that it is a infallible dogma that a man is infallibly a pope if there is “peaceful and universal acceptance” by the Church.
Was there peaceful and universal acceptance?
In Siscoe’s own book “True or False Pope,” he mentions the following scholars who questioned the validity of Francis’s election: Vatican expert Antonio Socci and “Stefano Violin, esteemed Professor of Canon Law” (Page 390). And there is a bishop and many other scholars who question the validity not mentioned by him.
Apparently, Siscoe didn’t get his “peaceful and universal” dogma from a dogmatic statement from a pope or council, but from a good, but a not necessarily infallible theologian John of St. Thomas. Here is his quote from John of St. Thomas:
“[T]his man in particular, lawfully elected and accepted by the Church, is the supreme pontiff.” (Trueorfalsepope.com, “Peaceful and Universal Acceptance of a Pope,” 2-28-19 and 3-13-19)
This bring us back to the renown historian Carroll statement: “A Papal claimant not following these methods [which is the conclave constitution of a previous pope] is also an Antipope.”
Even John of St. Thomas agrees with Carroll when he said as quoted by Siscoe:
Besides “acceptance” a valid pope needs to be “lawfully elected.”
Again, Bishop Gracida is asking for a cardinal investigation. He is saying what John Paul II’s conclave constitution says about the question of if Francis was “lawfully elected” or not: only the cardinals can investigate it and interpret it, not Siscoe, Skojec, canon lawyers or John of St. Thomas.
I ask Siscoe to specifically answer if Francis was not “lawfully elected” then does a “peaceful and universal acceptance” overturn a unlawful election?
More importantly, why are Siscoe and Skojec apparently so afraid of a investigation by cardinals?
I ask both to please give a specific answer to why they are apparently so afraid of a investigation.Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church and for Catholics to not just bemoan heresy, but put pressure on the cardinals to act as well as for the grace for a cardinal to stand up and investigate and to be the St. Bernard of our time.
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.
Francis Notes:
– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.” (The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
– LifeSiteNews, “Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial weight behind communion for adulterers,” December 4, 2017:
The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”
– On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”
– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.
When asked or threatened with loss of rights, benefits, job, so as to take the Vaxx perhaps responding like this will end up getting you an exemption.
“I think I have antibodies already to Covid-19, and if I do, then taking such a vaccine might cause an antibody enhanced reaction, which could be lethal. So, before being required to take one of these vaccines, I demand that I be tested for antibodies to Covid-19. Naturally, to make sure you are not liable for my death, I demand that my antibodies be tested from a live culture of Covid-19, isolated from someone known to have the symptoms. I believe such a test will prove that I do have such antibodies, and thus have no need of the vaccine.”
Now since no laboratory in the world has isolated the virus, you can wait until they do, which, if it does not exist, will be for the rest of your natural life!
If they offer to do any other kind of antibody testing, refuse that on the grounds that it is scientifically uncertain and medically unreliable. If asked if you are refusing the Vaxx, respond,
“I am not refusing the Vaccine and do think that it is necessary, but only for those who do not have the natural immunity already, as I believe I do. And I am not going to risk my life because of your unscientific and medically dangerous presumption that I do not have antibodies to Covid-19 or that any other kind of test provides proof positive scientific confirmation of the presence of antibodies to this particular coronavirus species.”
If asked why you think you have antibodies, say:
“Coronaviruses are by nature highly transmissible and usually infect the entire human population in 12 weeks. Therefore, since this coronavirus has been out there for nearly 2 years and since many persons in my (city, state, province, county, workplace etc.) have tested positive and recovered, I believe that it is statistically impossible that I do not already have antibodies for the disease, especially since I am in good health.”
2 THOUGHTS ON “HOW TO REFUSE THE VAXX, SCIENTIFICALLY”
JoanI’ve quit many a lucrative job over much less than this. All we’re doing is kicking the can down the road until the mark of the beast necessary to buy or sell. This is somewhat fixable, with supplements, as well as spiritual remedies. The mark of the beast is not. Those who can’t deal with the current situation, are they going to have the wherewithal to refuse? I just think we should be careful about giving a false sense of security. Everyone needs to be working on cutting ties with outside support and becoming totally self sufficient, we’re out of time to be playing any more games with the evil powers that be.REPLY

MSNBC Compares Christians To Taliban—Again August 18, 2021 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on MSNBC’s latest attack on Christians: Twice in one week, senior pundits at MSNBC have compared Christians to the Taliban. On August 14, MSNBC host Joy Reid, speaking of the Taliban, tweeted that “our own far religious right” is “dreaming of a theocracy that would impose a particular brand of Christianity” on American society. On August 18, the lead story on MSNBC’s website, written by Dan Obeidallah, picks up on the comparison by criticizing Republicans who cling to “a narrow reading of their religious beliefs,” noting that they want to make their “religious beliefs into the law of the land.” In both cases, the MSNBC pundits claimed that Christians are, just like the Taliban, against women’s rights. (They couldn’t have been thinking about Andrew Cuomo because the “former altar boy” is a Democrat.) Reid accused Christians of wanting to “drive women from the workforce and solely into childbirth, and control all politics.” What a plainly stupid remark. Perhaps she can explain why a record number of Republican women—35 of them—were recently elected to the Congress. They are all Christians. Obeidallah cites three issues to prove that Christians are Taliban-like creatures: their opposition to abortion; their opposition to the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act; and their opposition to the Paycheck Fairness Act. Regarding abortion, Christians are committed to protecting the life of unborn babies. The Taliban are known to kill pregnant women such as Masooma, who was dragged out of her house in 2019, taken to a Taliban court, shot dead, and had her corpse, and that of her baby, thrown into an open field. Her crime? She criticized the Taliban for committing atrocities. Christian Republicans opposed the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act because it redefined “domestic violence” to mean wholly non-violent acts such as “verbal” and “emotional” abuse. If that is the standard, then we will have to restock all the prisons recently emptied by Democrats. Women earn less than men, in general, because they are more likely not to work in dangerous jobs, are more likely to work part-time, are more likely to turn down overtime, and are more likely to turn down promotions, all of which reflect women’s choices and have nothing to do with discrimination. Hence, new laws are window-dressing ploys. Now how about the way the Taliban treat women? Here’s a quick sample.

They are then treated as sex slaves. Now there are reports that this is already happening in Afghanistan as the Taliban are going “door-to-door” looking for girls as young as 12 to become “sex slaves.” Those who compare conservative Christians to the Taliban evince an extreme anti-Christian bigotry while denigrating the condition of women who are forced to live under Taliban rule. The comparison is obscene. So is MSNBC for giving these bigots a platform.Contact Lorie Acio, VP of Communications, MSNBC: Lorie.Acio@nbcuni.com
Biden Has Total Meltdown In Washington – His Days As President Are over
August 17, 2021
It hasn’t been a good couple of days for Joe Biden. Honestly, it hasn’t been a good couple of months.
The so-called president has been failing left and right since the moment he entered office. But his failure in Afghanistan is undoubtedly the low point of his administration (so far). Americans watched in horror as a country we protected for 20 years fell to the very enemies we fought. All because Biden rejected Trump’s original plan and hastily pulled our troops.
Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. Americans and Afghans were left stranded. Meanwhile, Joe Biden was vacationing (i.e.: hiding) at Camp David. Yesterday, he finally emerged to make a few statements about the situation. As soon as he could, he ran away again, unwilling to answer questions.
Now, a man who has long called out this faux president is back.
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who served as the White House physician under the last two administrations, said Monday that it was time to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden because of the disaster that has unfolded in Afghanistan…
Jackson resumed those calls on Monday, writing on Twitter: “Remember when I said it was time to consider the 25th Amendment and the LIARS in the liberal press ATTACKED me? I wonder what they think now after Biden is very OBVIOUSLY mentally incapable of leading during a crisis. Something MUST be done!” [Source: Daily Wire]
Jackson listed a variety of reasons he believes Biden is unfit and “mentally incapable” of leading. That includes the long time it took Biden to address Americans over Afghanistan, calling it a disgrace. He hit him from blaming Trump, although it was Biden who pulled our troops without a plan. Jackson hammered Biden for refusing to take responsibility for the crisis.
The former White House doctor also warned that Biden’s weakness would have “repercussions around the globe.”
It’s shocking to think that there are still people who believe Biden is capable of leading the country, after yesterday’s display. He made a hasty decision on Afghanistan, perhaps just to get good press. As the country collapsed, Biden was nowhere to be seen. When he finally addressed America, he offered zero leadership, inspiration, or clarity. And he ran off like a coward so he didn’t have to answer questions.
Yeah, that really convinces Americans he’s doing his job!
With each passing day, the evidence is mounting that Biden is unfit to lead. We long worried it was because he’s mentally frail, suffering from dementia or something similar. But now, we are convinced he’s simply a bad leader. Mental ability aside, Joe Biden lacks the wisdom, courage, and intelligence to make the tough decisions and stick by them.
A leader’s strength is proven during times of crisis. Someone qualified to lead this country proves it when times are tough. But at every turn, Biden runs away when things get bad. When confronted, he’s quick to blame anyone else instead of owning up to his mistakes.
That, above all else, is why he does not deserve to be president.
Trump: “It’s Not that we left Afghanistan. It’s the Grossly Incompetent way we left!”
The Blaze reported Donald Trump declared “It’s not that we left Afghanistan. It’s the grossly incompetent way we left!”:
Former President Donald Trump has been on the attack, criticizing the Biden administration over the issue of Afghanistan as the nation swiftly falls to the Taliban while the U.S. seeks to withdraw.
“It’s not that we left Afghanistan. It’s the grossly incompetent way we left!” he declared in a statement on Monday.
“Afghanistan is the most embarrassing military outcome in the history of the United States. It didn’t have to be that way!” Trump said in another statement.
“Can anyone even imagine taking out our Military before evacuating civilians and others who have been good to our Country and who should be allowed to seek refuge? In addition, these people left topflight and highly sophisticated equipment. Who can believe such incompetence? Under my Administration, all civilians and equipment would have been removed,” Trump said in another statement.
But Trump is not the only American unhappy with the situation in Afghanistan, where the Taliban has been seizing control of the country. A recent survey found that a majority of likely general election voters disapprove of President Biden’s handling of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan — 59.5% strongly disapprove and an additional 9.8% disapprove, which combines for a whopping 69.3% in the survey expressing disapproval.[https://www.theblaze.com/news/trump-calls-afghanistan-the-most-embarrassing-military-outcome-in-american-history]
Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.
Francis Notes:
– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.” (The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
– LifeSiteNews, “Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial weight behind communion for adulterers,” December 4, 2017:
The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”
– On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”
– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.
Afghans in panic yesterday, August 15, as the rebel Taliban entered Kabul, climb onto the outside of transport planes about the leave the country. (link) A shocking video has gone viral in which desperate Afghans, some crowding onto a transport plane (left), some evidently clinging to the underbelly of the C-17 Globemaster, fell from the plane after take-off from several hundred feet, to their deaths. Many Afghans were terrified there would soon be a purge of all Afghans in the country who collaborated with the Americans over the past 20 years, though the Taliban rebels have said their rule will not involve bloody reprisals (link) This rainbow flag, signaling American support for the LBGT community worldwide, was posted on Twitter by American Embassy in Kabul during the month of June, though many in Afghanistan found it offensive. The embassy tweeted: “The month of June is recognized as (LGBTI) Pride Month. The United States respects the dignity & equality of LGBTI people & celebrates their contributions to the society. We remain committed to supporting civil rights of minorities, including LGBTI persons.” Because Islam considers homosexual acts to be sinful, there was pushback against this type of support for the LBGT agenda in a number of Islamic countries. One government official in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) told CNBC: “The flag-flying. Why rub it in our faces? Why choose us to do this to?” (see this article) Members of the Taliban leadership give an interview to Al Jazeera after taking control of the presidential palace in Kabul, Afghanistan, August 15, 2021 (Al Jazeera/YouTube) Afghanistan’s elected President Ashraf Ghani, who fled into exile via helicopter, reportedly for Tajikistan, on August 15 (yesterday), Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. (But this report says Ghani is now in Oman, and likely soon will be in the United States.) In the photo, Ghani is attending a security meeting in Kabul, Afghanistan, on August 14, 2021, two days ago. The country fell yesterday to the Taliban. The 14th president of Afghanistan, Ghani was first elected on September 20, 2014 and was re-elected in the September 28, 2019, presidential election. The Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, but after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States (9/11), the regime of the militant group came to an end as they were removed from power by US-led forces in 2001. Now they have returned(Afghan Presidential Palace | Reuters) *** “This is not Saigon.” —U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, speaking to CNN on Sunday morning, August 15 (yesterday), trying to push back against any comparison between America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan and the chaotic withdrawal that came at the end of the Vietnam War in Saigon in 1975 (link) ”After nearly two decades of war, more than 6,000 American lives lost, over 100,000 Afghans killed and more than $2 trillion spent by the U.S., the speed of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan has shocked the world. U.S. defense officials reportedly expected Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, to fall in 90 days. It took less than 10 days. Among the key causes, analysts say, are intelligence failures, a more powerful Taliban, corruption, money, cultural differences and willpower.” —CNBC, Monday, August 16, 2021, earliertoday “You failed the younger generation of Afghanistan. A generation … raised in the modern Afghanistan were hoping to build the country with their own hands. They put blood, efforts and sweat into whatever we had right now.” —Aisha Khurram, 22, speaking to American journalists as she watched the evacuation yesterday of the U.S. Embassy to Afghanistan (link) “’The Taliban regime is coming to an end,’ announced President George W. Bushat the National Museum of Women in the Arts on December 12, 2001 — almost twenty years ago today. Five months later, Bush vowed: ‘In the United States of America, the terrorists have chosen a foe unlike they have faced before… We will stay until the mission is done.’” —British journalist Glenn Greenwald, in an article entitled “The U.S. Government Lied For Two Decades About Afghanistan,” published today here ”The C.I.A., meanwhile, continued dropping off bags of cash — ranging each time from a few hundred thousand dollars to more than $1 million — at the presidential palace every month until last year, when Mr. Karzai [the president before President Ghani] stepped down. The money was used to buy the loyalty of warlords, legislators and other prominent — and potentially troublesome — Afghans, helping the palace finance a vast patronage network that secured Mr. Karzai’s power base.” —from a March 14, 2015 New York Times story entitled “CIA Cash Ended Up in Coffers of Al Qaeda,” which gives insight into the way the American collaboration with the Afghan leadership was conducted for two decades ”Ashraf Ghani… ensured his well-being as, while fleeing, he took along four cars brimming with money. Reports further add that besides that, he took a bag crammed with money in the helicopter. ‘Not all cash managed to squeeze in, and some of the money was left lying on the airfield,’ the report further added.” —Report today at Republicworld.com (link), and also here. The original report on these alleged “bags of money” came from this story in TASS, a Russian news agency, sourced from an un-named Russian embassy staffer in Kabul. Later, the story was sourced by the Russian agency NIA, to a Russian embassy official named Nikita Ishchenko, and Reuters spoke (here) to Ishchenko, who confirmed that he had said the words attributed to him, adding that he had learned of the bags of money from “witnesses.” Reuters “could not independently confirm the veracity of his account,” Reuters reported. This tweetalleges that Ghani “was forced to abandon 5 million dollars, stuffed in bags, at the airport.” So this story of the flight with bags of cash has been widely reported, but it has not yet been reliably confirmed “That’s it, it’s over.” —a U.S. diplomat speaking to reporters yesterday, August 15, 2021, upon learning that the president of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, had fled the country. The words referred to the 20-year military effort of America to re-shape traditional Afghan Muslim society into a modern, secular state. The words may also perhaps be taken as a sort of epitaph for the “American Century,” which turned out to be… just 76 years “To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.’” —Revelation 18:7 “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” —2 Chronicles 7:14 *** Letter #86, 2021, Monday, August 16: “That’s it, it’s over” End of an empire By Robert Moynihan Thus ends an epoch of history. The American retreat from Afghanistan, culminating chaotically and shamefully on August 15, 2021, marks the end of a period of world history we might call “The American Age” (1945-2021). Historians will spend years analyzing all the reasons, all the mistakes, all the arrogance and crimes and follies, which led to this denouement. But the point is simply this, in the words of an un-named American diplomat who commented yesterday to reporters on the flight of Afghanistan’s elected president from Kabul: “That’s it, it’s over.” The American Age is over. It ended yesterday in Kabul. And in such a chaotic and shameful way… *** Yesterday, Afghanistan’s president Ashraf Ghani — who had spent many years as a professor at Johns Hopkins in the United States — fled from Kabul. Reports originating from the Russian embassy in Kabul (here and here)— widely published but not confirmed — said that, as President Ghani fled, his staff filled four cars with bags of cash — evidently American dollars — then transferred the bags into a waiting helicopter. But the helicopter was too small to hold all the cash, reportedly, so some bags were left on the tarmac.(!) Then the helicopter took off. ”That’s it, it’s over,” said one American diplomat to reporters, when he learned of the president’s flight from Kabul. (link) [Note: This this story, as explained above, may not be true. In this video, there is only one small bag being carried by one of the president’s men onto an airplane, and not a helicopter.] *** So ended the American empire, which lasted from May 8, 1945, until yesterday: August 15, 2021 — 76 years, three months and one week. At the end of the Second World War, with the economies of Europe shattered and Europe’s cities pulverized, America possessed more than 50% of the world’s Gross Global Product. No country in history has ever enjoyed such comparative wealth in comparison to the rest of the world. America’s influence was therefore massive, enormous, colossal. That global influence was partly based also on American virtue: on the ideas that were at the root of the American spirit, ideas of “fair play,” reliable honesty in business dealings (based often only on a handshake), clear thinking and a “can do” attitude in the pursuit of technological excellence. All of this was also related in a profound way to the Christian idea that man is made “in the image and likeness of God” (imago Dei) and therefore has a very great personal dignity, and a great personal responsibility, to live in this truth of his nature — that men and women are “in the image” of a holy, just, good God. Yet, over the decades, something changed in the American culture, in the American understanding of duties and responsibilities, of what is dignified and what is not dignified, of what is good, and what is not good. Our attitude toward human life changes, and our attitude toward human death also changed. The old America believed the one necessary thing to do in life, before the end, was to “get right with God.” Consider injustices, follies, sins, and make things right, as much as possible, before going to meet one’s Maker. To balance a spiritual ledger-book, if possible, before the end. That belief has diminished, slipped away, become rare. And yesterday, America abruptly abandoned Afghanistan, a country it had pledged to support faithfully. And as the Taliban poured into the capital, the American-supported president fled, with bags of cash in tow. *** And so it ends. It ends in bags of cash strewn across the tarmac of a helicopter pad in Kabul, and a president fleeing for his life before a group of Muslim insurgents who defeated the empire’s might in an unequal battle that no one thought they could win — except the Taliban rebels themselves. From the end of World War II (May 8, 1945, the day Germany surrendered to the Western Allies) until yesterday, August 15, 2021, the day the Americans handed over Kabul, and Afghanistan, to the Taliban (and also the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary), the United States of America was the pre-eminent global power. That age ended yesterday. It ended in confusion, and betrayal, and treachery, and cowardice, and confusion. It ended in shame. As an American, as one who believes we live in a fallen world in which we must all struggle to resist the temptation to selfishness, cruelty, deception, oppression, pride, greed, and every sort of sin, I feel shame for what has become of my country. Not shame for the the ordinary citizens, the ordinary soldiers — they still remain, by and large, good people with good hearts, people of faith, people of honor. But our elites, the leadership of our society in politics, in the military, in the financial system, in the universities, in the courts, and in the churches, is too often no longer honorable, no longer committed to seek the common good, no longer willing to sacrifice for the sake of the nation and its future. We were a nation blessed as perhaps no other nation ever in the history of the world, from sea to shining sea. But we have become a nation whose leaders are not distinguished by their commitment to what is good, and honorable, and difficult, and noble, and just. For this reason, I weep for my country, and pray for America, that she finally listen to the better angels of her nature, and return to the most simple cause of her greatness, her humility and her respect for the common man, which she has allowed to slip away through many short-sighted and selfish decisions over many decades. —RM (Below, a reflection on St. Stephen of Hungary, whose feast day this is.)
