As in be a Prepper asap, if you aren’t already. We are on the edge of WW3.  Some say it already is a world war on two fronts: Ukraine and Israel. One bloc of nations aligned against another bloc of nations. The globalists vs. the anti-globalists. Driven by different religious or philosophical views of life and lust for money. Two powder kegs.  It sounds crazy but it’s real. Better to prep now and be ready for when global annihilation takes place as foretold by Our  Lady than to not be ready if this happens.   You can get prepared relatively quickly.  It will take a few ..read more

Scroll down for more details in recent post. The tooth abscess pain and swelling reached its peak last night.  Today, thank God it is nearly a zero pain level and now only mild swelling. When I realized that waking up, my first thought is readers must be praying for me as I had asked.  Plus the antibiotics are working.  Also, finally got in to see the neurosurgeon Friday. Good news, no need for surgery or anything else.  All low back issues on MRI are at worst mild.  But was warned to lose weight or risk needing surgery one day. Today my perspective is there is light o ..read more

When I heard about the story, I chose to be silent, or even hear the details,  but now that it is out in the open being actively discussed, I will comment here. A former district superior of the SSPX has plead guilty in Europe to molesting  children.  Bishop Fellay had know already of his sexual perversion and  still appointed him to prominent positions, including at times work with children.   That the priest was the actual district superior over one of the largest and most prominent districts is the worst case to top the list of SSPX priests credibly accused of commi ..read more

Iran is preparing to attack Israel directly, not via terrorist proxies but as a nation. It will be a direct act of war, and then Israel will be directly at war with Iran. Biden is sending ships to defend Israel against Iran, our sworn enemy. Rumor is Iran launched a nuclear ICBM at Israel who shot it down.  World War III is crystallizing before our eyes.  Will we go to war against Iran to defend Israel?   ..read more

Abortion IS and REMAINS the #1 voting issue. Trump fails to see that. He is far from being 100% pro-life. And he contradicts himself saying abortion should only be decided at the state level but then opposes the recent Arizona Supreme Court ruling that upholds prohibition on abortion.  All of this shows he is not our candidate as much because of personal integrity as because he and the MAGA movement are practically the best we have. Therefore it is nonsensical to now become a NeverTrumper  which would only compromise this years’ elections.  ..read more

Please pray my tooth infection/swelling/pain resolves. If you’re reading this, please add it to your daily prayer list or offer a sacrifice for this recovery.  It’s been going on for a week and a half.  Last week had urgent root canal dentist couldn’t finish since the tooth was badly infected. Have been on antibiotics and heavy pain killers since.  Yesterday he was able to finish the root canal but the infection wasn’t cleared up completely.  Still on antibiotics and heavy pain killers.  That side of my face is swollen including all the gums around the treated tooth, p ..read more

When you read a problematic document like Infinite Dignity, it forces you to remind yourself what the Church has already taught on the subject.  You don’t want to dissent from any Magisterial teaching, but you also don’t want to dilute your faith.   You don’t want to assume the role of pope and issue a magisterial judgment against him because you aren’t the pope or the Magisterium.  But at the same time you want to be clear with yourself and others on what is the clear Catholic doctrine on a subject.  That is my purpose in this post.   We have human dignity because we ..read more

Well, my prediction the next controversial document would be about female deacons did not come about. My powers of prognostication proved to be finite.  I am going to give comment here as I read this document, paragraph by paragraph, raising any question or concern in accord with the rights given us by canon 212.   The document labors long to explain the five year process of groups in the Vatican forming this document by examining false ideas about human dignity, but then in the very first paragraph it claims that human dignity is infinite.  How is that not a false idea?  I ..read more

The good news is generally speaking my arm and leg symptoms have resolved including nerve pains, except for some temporary flare up after realizing after the fact I had overdone it at the gym. Prognosis remains good. On the flip side, I’m still fighting allergies, healing from the ruptured eardrum, but the increased tinnitus from it has greatly subsided.  Couldn’t get in to see an ENT until later this summer anywhere in the Tulsa area, but found one available soon in Tahlequah worth the drive in case I need a patch over the eardrum perforation to help it fully close, plus could swing by C ..read more

It is supposed to be released early this month under that title. I commented in a recent post predicting it will allow lay deaconesses. You know from the start it isn’t a good sign when the very first word in the title does not sound right.  If human beings are finite, then that includes our dignity, unless it means since we are immortal, our dignity remains eternal with no limit in terms of our existence. But that explanation would seem dubious since it would be a very awkward point to make in the title, and our immortality is not under dispute.  Only God’s dignity is infinite. I do ..read more
