It’s come down to this: a black day for Holy Church in France.

And no doubt coming here soon.

What’s next, finger prints on file and lie detector tests? I am not sure which is more disgraceful, the act itself or that French Church officials consider it necessary. Whatever, these actions seriously strip priests of their dignity and respect, relegating their status to that of low-level government clerks. For shame.

With thanks to Lorin Hart.

It’s not only the Catholic Church in the States hitting new lows.

Catholic School Senior Arrested for Affirming Biological Gender Files Religious Discrimination Complaint

If you have suspicions Holy Church in Canada is in league with the devil and his comrades-in-arms, the Trudeau Government, read below to remove any doubts.

Some excerpts from the article, but read the whole thing for the most impact.

High school senior Josh Alexander, 17, won’t graduate this year. The Ontario student was suspended after protesting transgender bathrooms in St. Joseph’s Catholic High School and hasn’t attended class since February—not since police escorted him out of the building for trespassing.

* * *

Ultimately, the dispute culminated in Alexander’s arrest. Around Christmas, he was welcomed back by the school though he was barred from attending two classes, math and religion, and from speaking to certain students. The school felt his presence was detrimental to the physical and mental well-being of certain pupils, the teen said.

Arrested because he refused to accept that men can breastfeed babies. We live at once in evil and stupid times.

Oh, dear. This is unfortunate.

No, just no.

I suppose “God bless the USA” bumper stickers are tolerable, but I’m afraid this is way beyond the pale. No doubt the purveyor of it had the best of intentions, but we know what the road to hell is paved. Nationalism paired with the Rosary just isn’t cricket, with the added bonus of being sacrilege.

Thanks (I think) to John Beeler.

Georgetown University apologizes for being Christian, as well as Catholic, and erects mosque for atonement and expiation.

Remember, students, Sura 21:98 says, that all that are worshiped by men besides Allah will burn in Hell together with those who worship them.

The University, cleansed of its sins, now awaits hopefully for the King Abdulaziz University of Saudi Arabia, and other Islamic study centers, to build Catholic chapels on their campuses.

A landmark decision in American jurisprudence.

Darren Glines, who now goes by Rachel, was found not guilty of three counts of indecent exposure at the facility in Xenia, Ohio.

Judge David McNamee cleared Glines after agreeing that the size of her belly meant it would be impossible for anyone to see her penis.

Attorney (to Client): I have good news and bad news. The good news is, you’ve been acquitted.

Client: What’s the bad news?

Attorney: It’s too small.

Client: Damn! Back to the plastic surgeon.

Your move, Cardinal Dolan.

From New York’s real newspaper of record:

A new exhibit at a “very liberal” Manhattan church is raising some eyebrows for its religious take on gender identity.

The “God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey” display at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle has some parishioners scratching their heads — and seems to run counter to the Catholic Church’s stance on the transgender community.

“The church should not be promoting this,” one irate parishioner told The Post. “I understand there are transgender people. I pray for all people but enough is enough.

And this sums up nicely popular opinion regarding the entire trans fraud.

“It seems like they are trying to force the agenda on others,” they said (emphasis added).

“Also, when a friend asked a priest about this they didn’t answer. You can’t put this out on the altar and then hide.

“That’s what gets the church in trouble.”

Whether or Cardinal Dolan takes action here is difficult to say, but unlike some of the squishier prelates in the US (our Archbishop of Santa Fe a prime example), His Eminence can surprise, a good example being his looking the other way when the Pope issued the papal letter, Traditionis Custodes severely restricting celebrations of the Traditional Latin Mass. Not only did the Cardinal not impose the restrictions on the Church of the Holy Innocents in Manhattan, one of the first parishes to embrace TLM, he singled it out, praising it for bringing so many Catholics back to church.

So, Eminence, please surprise us again and censor that pastor of St Paul the Apostle for the heretical travesty he is promulgating in his church. We know you can do it.

Thanks to WJT.

White squaw heapum sorry she speak with forked tongue say she real Indian.

Elizabeth Warren call your office.

From the Daily Mail.

In a lengthy statement on Monday, sociology professor Elizabeth Hoover confirmed she is not actually a member of the Mohawk and Mi’kmaq tribes as she had been told growing up in upstate New York, affirming: ‘I am a white person.’

She said she never knowingly falsified her identity or tried to deceive anyone, writing on her personal website: ‘I’m a human. I didn’t set out to hurt or exploit.’

But now she is facing calls from more than 300 students and professors to resign from her position at the school.

They are accusing Hoover of being a ‘pretendian,’ or a white person who falsely claims to have Indigenous ancestry in order to profit

Since the modern leftist can sniff out racism in just about anything, let’s get in on the fun: why is it so many progressive women (and it’s almost always women) feel it incumbent to claim Indian heritage? Is it so they can claim to be victims of racist oppression and reap the bounty thereto? Isn’t being just a woman sufficient? Or does one’s whiteness cancel out whatever putative oppression you suffer.

And why is it so many of these phony-baloney indigenous persons chose that particular ethnic group over, say, African-American, which can easily be accomplished by smearing a bit of blackface (not too much, though; aim for a a slight mulatto shade) on  guilty-looking countenances? Their fellow progs will believe them despite their otherwise ridiculously caucasian features.

A final question: isn’t it racist to claim an ethnicity different from your own?

How much does the Biden Administration hate the Catholic Church?

This much.

HHS Sec’y Xavier Bacerra (left) and HHS Director Adm. Dr.Rachel L. Levine

Might you think that headline is a gross exaggeration? Read on.

From RedState.

Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services is preparing to strip a Catholic hospital system in Tusla, OK, of its ability to serve Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP patients if it retains its Catholic identity. The Saint Francis Healthcare System is the twelfth largest in the nation and runs five hospitals in Eastern Oklahoma. Those hospitals serve about 400,000 patients each year. Over the last five years, the hospital system has given away more than $650 million in free medical care to the indigent. It employs more than 11,000 people.

In other words, Saint Francis Healthcare is fulfilling one of the vital missions of the Catholic Church by following the command of Jesus to heal the sick; and it does it well. But does HHS truly want to strip the hospital of its credentials over a single candle? Yes, it does, or at least it claims so.

[T]he hospital system is Catholic in more than name. Because of the requirements of its faith, it maintains chapels in each of those hospitals that are available to patients and staff 24 hours a day. One of the features of a Catholic chapel is the presence of an eternal flame . . . On February 21, an inspector working for Xavier Becerra’s Department of Health and Human Services cited the hospital in Tulsa for a fire code violation. The hospital appealed. Naturally, the appeal was declined . . . Losing their accreditation means they can no longer serve patients receiving federal health benefits.

In its appeal the hospital points out this deadly single candle is surrounded by “many sprinkler heads” and the room it is in has “good exhaust, the flame’ [has] double glass encasing, the bronze top enclosing the flame, despite its mounting to a wall over six feet high, and despite the surveyor’s knowledge of the fire marshal’s long-standing approval of the eternal flame, the sanctuary lamp did not meet with the surveyor’s favor.”

And that’s that. It seems obvious the Secretary sent that “surveyor” to the hospital charged with a mission: find something, anything we can use to screw this outfit. Why? Who knows, but it could be simple blind hatred of the Catholic Church because of her espousal of conservative mores. Or maybe because there is one procedure the hospital will not perform under any circumstances, abortion. That must surely stick in the Administration’s craw. Whatever the reason, we may be sure there is more to this story than merely an over-zealous bureaucrat drunk with his little powers.

Just imagine what will happen to our nation should this toxic administration be allowed four more years’s license to continue its war against our institutions. We are in an existential struggle.
