(Painting by Jan Provost)
And I beheld, and lo a lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the noise of many waters, and as the voice of great thunder; and [...]

If the desire for worldly possessions were kept within bounds and the place of honor in our affections given to the things of the spirit, which place undoubtedly they deserve, the peace of Christ would follow immediately, to which would be joined in a natural and happy union, as it were, a higher regard for [...]

Ah, The Simpsons hit the nail on the head concerning the 2 party system with this clip from many years ago. (p.s. I don’t know who “Adams” is)
Also, how they dance around abortion in American politics
Also, a clip from the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. Idiocracy by Mike Judge (the guy who did [...]

Why sow where the ground makes it its care to destroy the fruit? where there are many efforts at abortion? where there is murder before the birth? for even the harlot thou dost not let continue a mere harlot, but makest her a murderess also. You see how drunkenness leads to whoredom, whoredom to adultery, [...]

I have no delight in corruptible food, nor in the pleasures of this life. I desire the bread of God, the heavenly bread, the bread of life, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who became afterwards of the seed of David and Abraham; and I desire the drink of God, [...]

But they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (Isaias 40:31)

Oh, those silly trads wanting to restore the Sedia Gestatoria..Don’t they know it’s old-fashioned, and stupid? It’s just so…so…Romish, so particular! Don’t they know it causes ecumenical problems with our seperated Eastern Brethren? How it elevates the Bishop of Rome!
Whoa! wait, hold on a minute, these fellas don’t look like the Bishop of Rome (the [...]

“It is not fitting to applaud the servant in the house of his Master.” Pope St. Pius X on clapping in church.
Lest I be accused of being a malcontent “rad-trad”, or some “internet anti-pope” who only quotes Pre-Conciliar Popes to enforce my own “subjective opinions”, a comment from our current Holy Father, (then Cardinal Ratzinger) on clapping during the [...]

Hello Friends,
Sad and alarming news (if true),
A reader of this blog left a message and a link alerting me of an Ebay post that purports to be selling a Consecrated Host from today’s Papal Mass. It could be legit, I don’t know. Either way, please contact Ebay to stop this Sacrilage . If you have a [...]

So, Holy Father, how did you like N.Y.?
Well, you live for many more years, and you can honour us with another visit. How about that?
The New York leg of the trip was superb. Every local station in NYC showed the Mass. Our Lord Jesus Christ on every channel. His Vicar was there to present His legitimate [...]

Welcome Holy Father!
3 years ago:
Kudos to Cardinal Egan, and his crew. Nicely done.
Some ugliness, perhaps better not to show, but, some of our “seperated brethren” were there to protest the presence of the Vicar of Christ. Heretical sects have swallowed up large sections of New York Hispanics. Most of these sects are virulently hateful of Christ’s One [...]

Go to the ever insightful Mr. Mitsui’s blog for something I kind of always felt about a few paintings by this particular artist. He points out some creepy stuff, in a Rosemary’s Baby kind of way.
Oh, over at Carolina’s, I won (actually tied) for the “Most Underappreciated Blog” award, and was runner-up for “Best Visual Treat”. Thank you all [...]

The Papal Mass today. What can I say ? So nice to see blatant liturgical abuse done in the presence of the Pope. The “lovely” Indian drum music, with Pan piping in the background. How embarrassing for the Church. The whole country/world was watching, and this was the best American Catholicism can offer? When not [...]

Indeed , if there exists any place that ought to be most dear to every cultured person, surely it is Palestine, where, from the dawn of antiquity, such great light of truth shone for all men, where the Word of God made flesh announced, through the angels’ choir, peace to all men; where, finally, Christ [...]

(Pray for Benedict)
Unease with Pope Benedict XVI’s approach to Islam has led a U.S. Muslim group to decline joining in an interfaith event with him later this week. The pope has been praised by supporters for his frankness in approaching Islam and interfaith dialogue in general, but critics have called him insensitive.
Muslims in many nations [...]

Such a combination of doctrine and piety, of erudition and virtue, of truth and charity, is to be found in an eminent degree in the angelic Doctor and it is not without reason that he has been given the sun for a device; for he both brings the light of learning into the minds of [...]

And the high priest asked them, Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us. But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather [...]

For we are God’s coadjutors: you are God’s husbandry; you are God’s building. According to the grace of God that is given to me, as a wise architect, I have laid the foundation; and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation no man can lay, but [...]
