And so it begins… 😁🙏🏻
In related news, in Boulder, Colorado, 17 year olds can congregate with 23 year olds, but the MasonicSniffles will KILL any group of 18-22 year olds.
Only, only, only in Boulder could something so abjectly stupid be accepted as “law”.
Dear leftist children, didn’t we tell you that when your masters came to power that you would be some of the first put up against the wall? Stupid brats….
In this episode we discuss the announcement of the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg and the foaming-at-the-mouth reaction of liberals and the media (but we repeat ourselves) which ranges from random women posting videos of themselves screaming uncontrollably to news people canonizing the memory of “Blessed Ruth” to.. well, we have no idea what Al Sharpton said. Meanwhile an error on the opposite side of the political spectrum has been to herald Trump as the anointed and blessed leader ordained by God to lead us out of our liberal morass and to a new, golden age of American decency, goodness, and even holiness. We would do wise to remember: “Put not your trust in princes, in the children of men, in whom there is no salvation. (Psalm 145:2-3)”

The CDC conducted some actual science around corona transmissibility and mortality. They have long been on record as saying the actual spread is at least 10x the reported number of “cases,” or positive tests. Which means the mortality rate, just simple math, would be 10x lower than currently reported. Which we know is still wildly inflated by counting all deaths “with” corona as deaths “from” corona. Only 6000 people have died from corona alone. Death by motorcycle but with corona goes into the corona pile. The real number of people who died from contracting corona, who would not have otherwise died from something else these past six months, is a figure much, much lower than the 200K “official” deaths… I am a non-medical non-paid reality spokesperson.
Well, now they have published the “most likely” scenario of how dangerous the corona is, by age group. If you click on the link, the first several pages of verbiage explain the methodology and many different inputs. You should read it all. Eventually if you scroll down far enough, you will see the smoking gun.
I want you to focus on the far right column of this chart, “Current Best Estimate,” and look at the second row of data, “Infection Fatality Rate” (mortality rates among people who contract the corona, by age group).
Do you see what I see? Again, this includes all the Stage 4 cancers, strokes, kidney failures and accident victims who were suspected of corona. Now allow me to convert those “official” mortality rates into survival rates, to make it easier to understand and share, and judge for yourself if everything, especially everything related to young people, should continue to be cancelled, or, NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED.
And again, the real numbers are even 4x-5x better than these. Never mind that half the people over 70 who died were probably murdered in nursing homes.
Get the word out, folks. Time to end this.
For serving the traditional Roman Mass
Louis Tofari will host a 4-week curriculum of live webinars for boys and men to learn the acolyte’s Latin responses during the traditional Roman Mass.
This uniquely integrated course will include a review of:
• liturgical Latin and its basics of pronunciation,
• the significance of the prayers said by the servers,
• some important background information (e.g., what are the Preparatory Prayers, psalms and their structure, Psalm 42, saints in Confiteor, etc.),
• an explanation and practice of the associated gestures and reverences (folded hands, signs of the cross, bowing, striking the breast),
• and homework exercises.
During the past 25 years, Mr. Tofari has developed a unique and well-rounded course for teaching the server’s Latin responses, not only consisting of innovative training techniques, but also providing background information about what the server says.
In this way, the server learns not just how and when to say the responses, but why, thereby appreciating the profound significance of these prayers used in the highest act of Catholic worship, the Mass.
Learn to do what he’s doing!
As far as I can tell, the last remaining argument that Trad Inc. STILL continues to try to make in arguing that Bergoglio is the Pope (aside from the rock-solid argument that I am both stupid and physically ugly – incredibly compelling arguments which I am admittedly unable to refute), is the concept of “Universal Peaceful Acceptance”. Namely, the fact that a “moral unanimity” (as opposed to mathematical unanimity) of churchmen – the very same churchmen that Trad Inc. declares on a near-daily basis to be subscribers to A DIFFERENT RELIGION – accept Bergoglio as Pope IN AND OF ITSELF ratifies Bergoglio’s putative papacy on the level of “Infallible Dogma”.
The primary source for this is the Dominican theologian, John of St. Thomas. John of St. Thomas was right – the problem is that Trad Inc. WILLFULLY edits out or glosses over the utterly essential antecedent that John of St. Thomas and every other commentator on the concept of “Universal Peaceful Acceptance” lay out – THE LEGALITY/LEGITIMACY OF THE ELECTION/CONCLAVE.
Folks, it’s a plain as the nose on your face. Here is the John of St. Thomas quote:
“In the present controversy we discuss whether or not it is de fide that this specific person, who has been legitimately elected, is the Pope and the head of the Church, as well as the degree of certitude with which this proposition is to be held.”
Our conclusion is the following. It is immediately of divine faith that this man in particular, lawfully elected and accepted by the Church, is the supreme pontiff and the successor of Peter, not only quoad se (in himself) but also quoad nos (in relation to us) —although it is made much more manifest quoad nos (to us) when de facto the pope defines something. In practice, no Catholic disagrees with our conclusion [that his legitimacy is de fide], even though, when he considers it as a theoretical question, he might not think that he believes it with divine faith. (…)”
Once again, the inability of modern people to think in a logical, ordered way raises its ugly head. The inability to identify which concept is an ANTECEDENT BASE PREMISE, and which concepts then PROCEED AS COROLLARIES FROM the antecedent base premise is, sadly, typical of modern man. Logic stopped being taught in high school mathematics curricula in the early 1980’s, for all intents and purposes.
So, we have Trad Inc. arguing a CLEARLY inverted, backwards proposition, CLEARLY BEGGING THE QUESTION – committing the logical fallacy of petitio principii, namely that Universal Peaceful Acceptance is the antecedent, and that LEGALITY and/or LEGITIMACY proceeds from UPA.
THIS IS OBVIOUSLY FALSE. What should jump out at you about this inverted structure? Well, clearly the election occurs BEFORE the ACCEPTANCE. Something cannot, by logical definition, be ACCEPTED BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENS. Therefore, it is CLEARLY, OBVIOUSLY ERRONEOUS to hold the position that ACCEPTANCE is the ANTECEDENT BASE PREMISE, and that LAWFULNESS/LEGALITY PROCEEDS FROM ACCEPTANCE.
This is COMMON SENSE. Truth is not a democracy. The Papacy is bestowed DIRECTLY by Christ only when the man elected in a legally valid conclave ACCEPTS the Office, it is NOT bestowed by the College of Cardinals, nor even by The Church itself.
-Christ does NOT bestow the Petrine Office upon a man when the College of Cardinals LEGALLY AND LEGITIMATELY votes to elect him – Christ alone bestows the Office ONLY when the LEGALLY AND LEGITIMATELY elected man ACCEPTS.
-In the same logical vein, Christ does NOT bestow the Papacy upon a man that is ILLEGALLY, ILLEGITMATELY, NON-CANONICALLY ELECTED, no matter what the College of Cardinals or even the Church Militant “peacefully accepts”. To argue such is to totally and completely upend reality itself, namely saying that LIES BECOME TRUE when enough people believe and accept them.
The only way such arguments can come about is by inverting a logical progression, swapping a logical corollary with its antecedent base premise, thus yielding a truth table that spews satanic lies as “dogmatically infallible truth”. John of St. Thomas did NOT argue this lie, he specifically identified LEGALITY as the antecedent base premise as clearly shown above, and it is a slander of this saintly and brilliant theologian to claim otherwise.
-Likewise, Christ does NOT withdraw the Petrine Office from a man who does NOT LEGALLY RESIGN, NO MATTER WHAT THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS OR CHURCH MILITANT “ACCEPTS”. This is made crystal clear in Canon 332.2:
Can. 332§2. If it happens that the Roman Pontiff resigns his office, it is required for validity that the resignation is made freely and properly manifested but not that it is accepted by anyone.
And here is the Latin:
§ 2. Si contingat ut Romanus Pontifex muneri suo renuntiet, ad validitatem requiritur ut renuntiatio libere fiat et rite manifestetur, non vero ut a quopiam acceptetur.
So, if a putative papal resignation is LEGALLY INVALID, the Petrine See remains 100% occupied, and thus per Canon 359 the College of Cardinals has absolutely ZERO METAPHYSICAL ABILITY TO CONVENE A VALID CONCLAVE. If the Petrine See is occupied under ANY circumstance, no real conclave can be called. Period.
Can. 359 When the Apostolic See is vacant, the college of cardinals possesses only that power in the Church which is attributed to it in special law.
Can. 359 — Sede Apostolica vacante, Cardinalium Collegium ea tantum in Ecclesia gaudet potestate, quae in peculiari lege eidem tribuitur.
So there you go. Now, remember folks, I am, it is reliably reported, stupid, physically ugly, a female who should thus be ineligible to speak in any format or context on anything regarding the Church, and I do not even possess a bachelor’s degree in Bible Lawyering. So, you know, take all of this objective evidence and logical argumentation with a grain of salt, accordingly.
As always, I hope and pray that this helps.
Pray for Pope Benedict XVI Ratzinger, still reigning, the Papacy, and Holy Mother Church.
St. Peter, pray for us.
Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, pray for us.
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.
The girl who is declaring that she is leaving for the Eastern Orthodox Schismatics (they are Schismatics because they deny the Primacy of Peter in and of itself, not the identity of the Vicar of Christ) gets a response from a Trad Inc. partisan that is a flagrant, egregious, obvious violation of the Law of Non-contradiction: that the principle of unity and thus standard of schism, the Vicar of Christ, Peter and his successors, promised by Christ Himself a supernatural negative protection, confirmed by the infallible ecumenical council Vatican I by the infallible definition of the dogma of Papal infallibility, is SIMULTANEOUSLY the Vicar of Christ with whom all Christians MUST be in union, AND at exactly the same time an apostate. In other words, a thing and its negation. Both A and not A.
A textbook Catch-22. You’re damned if you follow Bergoglio because he is an apostate , AND you’re damned if you don’t follow Bergoglio because “he’s the Pope.”
This is SHEER, UNADULTERATED MADNESS, and this is why the girl is absolutely going to go to the Eastern Orthodox if this irrational lie is not corrected, because she thinks that the truth is what the Trad Inc. partisan says, and thus the girl is convinced that the One True Church is a crock. Because nothing that is built upon a foundation of an obvious violation of the Law of Non-contradiction can possibly be “true”.
Would someone reach out to the girl shown here declaring that she is going to the schismatic Eastern Orthodox and explain to her that Pope Ratzinger’s putative resignation was canonically invalid twelve ways from Sunday and thus Pope Benedict is the one and only living Pope, and has been since April ARSH 2005? Please. In your fraternal charity. Don’t let this gal be pushed into damnation by these lies. Fight for souls!
Thank you, Ann. You put the truth forward in a simple, short argument. I was one of those who wondered if I should leave.
God bless you

As if there weren’t enough reasons to love The Princess Bride, add the fact that Inigo Montoya bears a suspiciously striking resemblance in name and deed to the young Inigo López de Loyola. Ignatius is the Latinized form of the Castillian-Basque name Íñigo.
St. Ignatius founded, of course, the Jesuit Order, which ceased to exist long, long ago. Sadly, there is a sodomite organization dedicated to the satanic-Freemasonic agenda of destroying the Church which has fraudulently co-opted the Jesuit name. We fantasize about the day that St. Ignatius appears, and has this exchange with the proverbial “Count Rugen”:
Once upon a time in the 1980s, “television evangelists” were part of the American landscape. To their credit, they and their pentecostal congregations were reliable conservatives who voted the right way and, while they not-so-secretly despised the Catholic Church, they were awkward allies in staving off dangerous legislation that would have brought on America’s demise much, much earlier. What does this have to do with the subject of Mark’s post here? Consider the following…
1. The television evangelists of that time (Jim Bakker, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggart, Robert Tilton, etc.) gained their audiences with the (protestant/pentecostal) Bible and its teachings. But… in no time at all, they all evolved quickly into 90% fundraising operations. Every time you tuned in, the message increasingly was “give us money, give us money, give us money.” In the case of Oral Roberts he even said God would “call him home” if he didn’t raise X amount of funds by a certain date. Sadly, a lot of people did not see the warning signs and gave away much of their hard-earned funds to these charlatans.
2. One by one starting around 1987 or so, scandals broke and so did their (fake) ministries. Those who contributed financially to these scoundrels had no return on their investment and were betrayed. But that was not the worst of it…
3. After the aforementioned pentecostal megachurches and their television evangelists fell from grace, there emerged a new force to replace them… If I may borrow from Ann B, the “super-fun rockband church.” The difference was that the focus of these new “churches” was and is to this day, not-so focused on Christianity but rather on feeling good, social justice and coming together on Sunday in the auditorium to listen to some electric guitars and keyboard perform against light shows and in-between motivational speeches. The former pentecostal mega-church people flocked here in droves. They did not come into the Holy Catholic Church (not that anyone bothered to try and convert them, but that’s another topic).
4. Today the “moral majority” is all but dead. We had eight years of Barack Hussein Obama and the most anti-Christian administration that was elected and re-elected by the children of those former evangelists who flocked in record numbers to vote for Ronald Reagan. Socialism is favored by an increasing number of clueless young and old alike in this nation, many of whom have been raised as atheist or agnostic by their former Bible-thumping parents and grandparents. I could go on and on but you see how this country has changed both morally and spiritually since the end of the 1980s.
Brining this into a Catholic perspective for 2020, I will say BEWARE of any Catholic news outlet, blog, etc. where “donate now” messages pop up immediately after login and you get stalked by them to donate via email or engagement in any sort of way. Also BEWARE of Catholic lay “media celebrities” who focus their ministries on themselves rather than Christ. BEWARE of any Catholic whatever group who militantly expresses a venomous desire to destroy the SSPX. Lastly BEWARE of people who are addicted to social media and especially Facebook and Twitter which do nothing but breed anger, narcissism and stupidity. YOUR CATHOLIC FAITH IS IN DANGER if you allow yourselves to be hooked by such people.
