Amidst many languages, hearing the Voice of God

           Corpus Christi, 6/19 (sign/audio)

  • Pope Francis Names 'Climate Change' Warrior a Cardinal (Thomas Williams, PhD, 5/29/22)
    • "the one who was really passed over was Archbishop Gomez in the biggest Catholic populated diocese in the country and president of the USCCB by vote of his peers. Also, it’s probably the biggest Hispanic Catholic diocese in the United States, which makes this an extra BIG slap in the face. He would have been the first Mexican born cardinal in the United States. So much for the diversity we’re always hearing about. They went for clericalism instead" (One Mad Mom, 5/29/22).https://www.youtube.com/embed/-4EDhdAHrOg?autoplay=1
  • We overlook a significant factor in mass shootings: fatherlessness (NY Post, 5/27/22)
    • Archbishop Cordileone: Nancy Pelosi is banned from receiving Communion (CNA, 5/20/22) 
  • "The last several decades have been frustrating for traditional-minded pro-life Catholics. Whenever legislators and legislation threatened the moral law, the American bishops were inclined to sponsor various prayer initiatives. Prayer became like a government program as bishops disguised their dereliction of duty in disciplining pro-abortion Catholic politicians by calling for more public devotion and more dialogue.... A courageous celibate provides doctrinal air cover for Catholic troops on the ground. Clergy who fail to use their celibacy for the fearless proclamation of the Gospel become selfish comfortable bachelors” (Fr. Jerry Pokorsky, 5/23/22).
  • "There is one important difference between Roe and Obergefell ....Roe galvanized the pro-life community and created a vibrant, authentically grassroots nationwide movement. After Obergefell, proponents of marriage threw up their hands and said, 'Oh, well, we tried' and moved on to other issues. The right-to-life movement never gave up. We are fighting transgenderism in 2022 precisely because we gave up on marriage in 2015" (National Catholic Register, 5/18/22).

    Corpus Christi

    In 1263, Father Peter "had just finished the words of consecration when blood began to seep from the Host onto the altar and corporal....Fr. Peter immediately journeyed to Orvieto where Pope Urban VI was residing at the time...the pontiff...had the host and blood-stained corporal brought to the Cathedral in Orvieto [The above photo is from a 2015 pilgrimage to Orvieto.] where they are still venerated today, and instituted the feast of 'Corpus Christi' a year later" (CNA, 10/7/13)

          • Three Cheers for the Pro-Life Movement's Political and Legal Arms (Crisis, 5/13/22)
          With God's help, we should soon see the end of Roe v Wade.  Will your pastor and Parish betray God's magnificent gift of human life by advertising a provider of abortifacients/contraceptives?
