Semicentennial Mailbag: No longer part of the Old-Young, but now of the Young-Old

Ann,

Congratulations on reaching this milestone.

I will never forget stumbling across your website in the depths of Covid, whilst I was searching for ivermectin dosage information. And did I ever hit the jackpot! Not only did I find what I was looking for, I found your cattle marketing program and your brilliant catalogue of apologetics and Church commentary.

I received a thorough education on the state of the Church and it made so much sense to me. My husband and I knew there was something severely off with Bergoglio and the work you did just instantly struck a chord.

We are deep in the heart of lefty, liberal novus ordo country in rural Australia, and your work has undoubtedly encouraged us to deepen our faith and deepen the faith of our children. We have ongoing discussions around the state of the Church and the Catholic faith which have proved fruitful in our prayer life and understanding of the importance of sacred tradition.

And thanks be to God, we are seeing the fruits of this start to appear in our community. We have a newly ordained young orthodox priest in the diocese who travels out to visit us regularly and is learning the Latin Mass. I also put him onto your blog, which he is immensely enjoying! Young families in our parish are diving deeper into the history of the Church and approaching us for discussion and information.

I would never have thought this was possible 10 years ago. There is a long way to go and a big fight ahead, but I am hopeful.

Not to mention your cattle trading programme. We’re 5 years in and we are starting to really develop our skill in this area. It has been a blessing for our operations – and we have further refined this knowledge through an Australian run programme called KLR which uses the same methods that Bud taught.

So Ann, thanks be to God for you and your ongoing courage and continued forthrightness! May the good Lord bless you and keep you safe.

I will have a Mass offered for you in the next few days.

God bless,

L


Happy, Blessed birthday, Ann – you youngster, you. You are no longer part of the old young…but you are now part of the Young old. God Bless and Protect.

Happy Birthday, Ann!

Thank you for the amazing work, from the super-serious to the very fun. It’s kept me sane, especially here in the Archdiocese of Chicago.

God bless you always!

Happy Birthday, Ann!

I am about 8.5 years older than you are and I can tell you that the 50’s are nothing to fear. The 60’s on the other hand… 😉

I hope you have a great and blessed day with your nearby friends and that you receive many well-wishes and prayers from your online acquaintances!

God Bless!

Miss Barnhardt:
I am writing to you to wish you the happiest of birthday wishes!!
It has almost been a year since your interview with Stephen Kokx, and it was then I had first heard of you. I would like to say that your takes, along with the rest of the Tombstone Four members, have become those which I trust most. All of you present what is going on in an engaging and rigorous way. However, all of you do it with humor and verve. Please keep up the excellent work all of you do. God bless, and Mary wrap her loving and protective mantle around you!!

Ann,

I just love your taste in music! I’m almost exactly 5 years younger than you but I feel like we were the same age growing up with the same hits!
Have a happy birthday Ann! I really appreciate you.
God bless,

Hey (Simon &) Jude, don’t let me down…

St. Jude, pray for us! St. Jude, pray for us!

Today (October 28th) is the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude.  St. Jude is today most closely associated with being the “patron saint of lost causes”, which is a relatively recent devotional development.  I’m sure many of you remember seeing the St. Jude Novena published in the classified section of the newspaper.  Remember newspapers?  Ah… nostalgia.

Anyway, there is certainly nothing wrong with this, as I have mentioned before and am still trying to get my head around myself, all of the Angels and Saints know us personally and love us personally, and are desirous of our achieving the Beatific Vision with them.  This is one of those things that if I sit and think about with any depth I still find shocking, even still at my advanced age.

They ALL know who I am.

They are ALL rooting for me.

They are ALL fully available to pray for me.

Whoa.

Here is the traditional text of the prayer to St. Jude:

Oh glorious Apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered thy beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused thee to be forgotten by many, but the Church honors and invokes thee universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who am so miserable; make use, I implore thee, of that particular privilege accorded thee of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, particularly (mention your request), and that I may bless God with thee and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise thee, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor thee as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to thee. Amen.

The other big thing that St. Jude is famous for is writing the Epistle of St. Jude, which is the next-to-last book of the New Testament, and is tiny at only 25 verses.  

The book of Jude is an exhortation and warning against heresy and heretics.

So, yeah.  It is slightly timely.  Just a little bit.  Li’lbit.

It covers everything: heretics bringing about chaos, or as they say in Spanish, “lio” (“turning the grace of our Lord God into riotousness” – verse 4), the fact that God’s wrath has, does and will come upon heretics, and the admonition to the faithful to reprove the heretic and sinner, because this is what is demanded by charity.

Do click over to DRBO.org and read the entire brief Letter of St. Jude because it is so relevant, and also read the excellent Challoner footnotes which are most helpful.

Then, revisit the prayer to St. Jude above, because while it is tempting to think in these dark days that the “cause is lost” – it isn’t!  St. Jude, given the topic of his Epistle, should be widely enjoined to pray for us, and for the Church, and against the Antichurch.

St. Judas Thaddeus, pray for us!

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us!

Semicentennial Birthday Bash Preparations Underway!

Tomorrow evening at the Motorhome Down By the Crick, the buffet will revolve around roasted glazed ham, pistachio bacon party lasagna, squash and sausage party lasagna, cold cuts and cheeses and dips. Pringles and pistachios in the shell will be scattered about the environs.

The birthday cakes are apple cake with caramel glaze. They’re already made. A friend will also be making… brace yourselves… fresh squash funnel cakes. 🤩

Here’s the #1 hit the day I was born, a banger, “If You Leave Me Now” by Chicago.

See ya, 40’s. It’s been one heckuva decade. I can’t wait to become an official Golden Girl tomorrow and git after it on the back-9.

The Lord is Our King, He will save us.

Dóminus iudex noster, Dóminus légifer noster: Dóminus Rex noster, ipse salvábit nos.

The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver: the Lord is our King, He will save us.

This is the Fourth Antiphon of First and Second Vespers of the Feast of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

I find it to be a manful, succinct encapsulation of reality. Perhaps a little license with emphatic capitalization would be opportune.

He WILL save us.

And remember, He is King of All by Divine Right, because He is The Creator, He is King hereditarily (yes, St. Joseph was the hereditary heir to the throne of David), but He is also King of All by Conquest via His Incarnation as True Man and His Resurrection. And that Conquest occurred at the instant of His Incarnation in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. So even as an Infant, nay even as a Single Celled Zygote, He was and is truly the Sovereign King of the Universe BY CONQUEST.

And that includes above all else the land that is referred to today as “Israel”. Do you know when there will be “peace in the Middle-East”? When the world acknowledges that “Israel” today, and for the last 1993 years since Our Lord’s Passion, Death and Resurrection, means exactly ONE thing: The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Period. Anything founded by a group of militant atheists claiming divine right by a deity that they openly confess that they don’t believe in AT BEST and despise at worst, is a bad, bad joke and abomination. The Holy Land is OURS. WE are the everlasting Israel. WE are the one and only path to peace. Anything less than full acknowledgement of the Universal Kingship and Dominion of Jesus Christ is a lie. From the river to the sea, and everywhere else in the entire physical universe.

Ecce ancilla Domini.

King of the Universe by Right and by Conquest in the womb. He WILL save us.

King of the Universe by Right and by Conquest as an infant. He WILL save us.

King of the Universe by Right and by Conquest on the Cross. He WILL save us.

King of the Universe by Right and by Conquest now and forever. He WILL save us

#TOLDYA: +Schneider and Mike Matt — “The Holey Fodder Pope (sic) Wee-Oh Dindu Nuffin! He haz KANSIRRRRR!!“

It’s now reaching levels so farcical that one has to begin to question motives, as much as one hates to say it. This is pure gaslighting. Pathetic and repulsive. There is nothing so unmanly as the denial of reality.

Remember: the greatest act of violence that can be done against the Papacy is to call a man who is not the Pope, “Peter.”

Every time these weak men call OBVIOUS Antipopes “Pope Francis”, “Pope Leo”, “The Holy Father”, or “His Holiness”, they are attacking the Papacy every bit as much as the Freemasons and Satanists they claim to be resisting.

The faggots, dykes and trannies, wearing hyper-obscene Luciferian mottos got a massive police escort into the Pacha-desecrated St. Peter’s. The “Fwanciss and Wee-oh are totally Popes!” anti-SSPX Trads were barred from entering, even just for silent prayer. Watch them now octuple-down on their groveling to Antipope “FtR” PERVost.

So this got a police escort that a Roman friend described to me as akin to a MAJOR head of state, like POTUS, Putin, or Xi, walking in a procession through Rome, complete with the luciferian creedal backpack, faggots in drag, chaps, etc.

But the boot-licker Trads who condemn the SSPX, have been themselves barred from entering St. Peter’s, AND the Mass that was planned for St. Mary Major instead has also been cancelled.

And, for the record, I reiterate that the SSPX needs to live in the FULLNESS of the Truth and acknowledge that both Bergoglio and now PERVost are/were Antipopes, and stop commemorating “Wee-oh” at the Te Igitur.

But, no, I’ve probably got this all wrong, and the documented Pachabitch (satan in drag) worshipper, and Bergoglian minion Antipope PERVost is probably just getting ready to fire all of the satanist faggots he elevates, promotes and totally surrounds himself with. YOU GOTTA JUST TRUST THE PLAN, guys.

EYEROLL.

Musical Respite: Forever and Ever, Amen

Like me, I’m sure you’re all reeling from the news that Lindsey (You Jackass) Graham was a… a… sodomite. Who knew? WHO. KNEW.

Well, aside from everyone on the planet.

To cleanse and refresh on this Friday, here’s Randy Travis with his hit from the spring of ARSH 1987, “Forever and Ever, Amen”.

Then-Cardinal Wojtyla’s (JPII’s) Prophetic Warning (a NonVeniPacem steal)

“We are now standing in the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has ever experienced. I do not think that the wide circle of the American Society, or the whole wide circle of the Christian Community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-church, between the gospel and the anti-gospel, between Christ and the antichrist. The confrontation lies within the plans of Divine Providence. It is, therefore, in God’s Plan, and it must be a trial which the Church must take up, and face courageously.”


It’s hard, nay practically impossible, to argue the accuracy.

The question is, how does one find courage among today’s churchmen, mostly faggots, and the rest what I call “heterosexual faggots”?

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.
