ABC News reports Muslims are contributing to socialist Zohran Mamdani’s New York mayoral campaign in far greater amounts than expected, but for obvious reasons. All well and good, we should all contribute to our preferred candidates with our time, our money (if possible), and our votes. Democracy in action, etc. Mamdanì is now the leading candidate forContinue reading “The money is rolling into Mamdani’s campaign coffers, from an unexpected source.”

Leo pays a visit
Not earthshaking, but a gentle reminder of the humanity of our latest pope, who took time out of his day recently to pay a visit to the Poor Clares of Albano Laziale. From the National Catholic Register: Pope Leo XIV made his first “getaway” from Castel Gandolfo to visit the Monastery of the Immaculate ConceptionContinue reading “Leo pays a visit”
’70s Catholicism on the way out
In an earlier post, this blogger wrote of the ordeal suffered by two teenagers, who were expelled from their Catholic high school, because its administrators mistakenly believed they had worn blackface four years earlier. Their excessive punishment owed to liberalism run amok in the Church over the past 50-plus years, doing untold damage to traditionalContinue reading “’70s Catholicism on the way out”
A Catholic school grovels to the left
And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me. (Douay-Rheims Matthew 25:40) By now the appalling story of two teenage lads in Mountain View, California, is well known. They were classmates at aContinue reading “A Catholic school grovels to the left”

Empty gesture from Bishop of San Bernardino
From Fox 11 Los Angeles: In a statement, San Bernardino Bishop Alberto Rojas announced a “decree dispensing from the obligation to attend Sunday mass.” The decree allows parishioners who are unable to attend Sunday mass or masses on holy days of obligation “due to genuine fear of immigration enforcement actions” to be “dispensed from thisContinue reading “Empty gesture from Bishop of San Bernardino”
Another institution ruined by the left: public libraries
Public libraries’s purpose is lending books and providing a quiet and comfortable space to read them. Research libraries also provide extensive resources for study and researching. Now another service is offered by many public libraries, especially in urban locations: homeless shelters. Many may argue that most urban areas already have facilities for the homeless, offeringContinue reading “Another institution ruined by the left: public libraries”
The further sad decline of the Church of England
The Church of England’s deterioration into a burlesque parody of itself may be measured by the day. Virtually no one attends services anymore, and ineffectual priests and bishops of all different kinds of sexes, preaching socialism and other twaddle, are driving away those few stalwarts still found in the pews (their pulses really should beContinue reading “The further sad decline of the Church of England”
Why did He do it?
This blogger still struggles with the notion a Pontiff in the Holy Catholic Church would tell a bald-faced lie, in this instance Pope Francis’s blatant prevaricating to his bishops concerning Usus Antiquior, the Latin Mass. What is especially troubling is approximately 80% of the bishops in the Church these days were appointed by Pope Francis,Continue reading “Why did He do it?”
Liar, liar, cope on fire
There has been substantial buzz lately about whether or not Pope Francis was truthful when justifying his cancellation of Pope Benedict’s motu proprio, Summorum Pontificum, which substantially loosened restrictions on the Latin Mass. Francis, with his Traditionem Custodis, made the celebration of TLM far more difficult, and with his later additions, it became nearly impossible. FrancisContinue reading “Liar, liar, cope on fire”
