Virtues And Gifts

Our diocesan retreat's over and the conferences were excellent. A classical exposition of the virtues, theological and cardinal, and their perfection under the impulse of the sevenfold gifts of the Spirit. 

So for example, the gift of understanding perfects the infused virtue of faith, giving us profound insight into divine truth. And on; thank you Fr. Ward for bringing Aquinas to Texas along with the tried and true application of the matter in hand to the lives of the Saints, living icons of the Spirit's munificence.

It was all good but I was struck by this. The gift of fortitude or courage perfects the moral virtue of the same name, seen by Aristotle as courage in battle for the good end/telos of the city, elevated or "taken into a larger room" in the context of the Faith. Now we face danger or death for the good of the heavenly city as opposed to Athens or, say, Abilene.

Yes indeed and we can see how the gift of fortitude, and it is a gift, impels the martyrs and all heroes of the Faith. Stick with it, don't give up on your journey to the beatific vision. Obvious enough, if a mystery, and we can see why this bravery extends to all the virtues. But consider.

First Crusade. Result.

Fortitude applies to our earthly struggle. It's not easy to stick with the program when Pink Moloch strides like Behemoth across the land. No doubt, but the gift also extends to the heavenly. 

We need courage to face the next life, our moving on to something entirely, radically, utterly new and with it a total detachment from earthly things, all that we've known. That takes bravery and it's given us by the Spirit.

Thank you, Fr. Ward for the insight and many more. If you want to learn more about this and you should, see here and here and go from there. 

Not Fortitude

So don't give up, readers, like some kind of pathetic beta and run in panic for the nearest safe space, onesie or crying towel.

FORTITUDE,

LSP

Retreat!

Retreat? Yes, but not in a bad way. There aren't any dancing wimmyn priests, guitar playing nuns or trans naming rituals at the Diocese of Fort Worth's annual clergy retreat. No, we're not here to worship Pink Moloch and the rainbow driven horde.

Typical Clergypersons

Instead we've had an excellent series of addresses on the gifts of the Spirit and their relation to the virtues. Good work, Fr. Robin Ward, sound as you like and uplifting to boot. More on that later.

In the meanwhile, it's good to get away and refocus on the interior life. And in case you missed it, today's the Feast of King Charles the Martyr, who rode into battle at Edgehill at the start of the English civil war in a suit of golden armor. I always feel as though that marks the end of Medieval England.

God bless,

Hillary 2020

News is in that Hillary's thinking about a 2020 run for the Presidency. She's emboldened by her Deep State friends arresting Roger Stone.

Will the FBI secure the election of their candidate, avenging this?

Or is the toothpaste outta the tube? Because it's Sunday, I'll suggest something spiritual. We're in a war of light against darkness, life v. death, good v. evil.

If you doubt me, see New York and it's latest homage to the demonic death god, Moloch. Scary, yes, but victory's assured and in the meanwhile, whoever said it wouldn't be tough sledding.

Don't fear the reaper and in the meanwhile, Hillary 2020? Yes, please.

Your friend and ally,

State Of The Union

'Coz everything's just fine in the land of the free and brave. Infographic via Borepatch who thinks things might get nasty.

I put it to the fighting monkey who promptly put on a spiked hat and marched about the living room singing "Erika." Vicious little alt-right beast.

But seriously, since when did we become some kind of Stasi Soviet and how long are we going to put up with it?

My feeling, for what it's worth, is that tempers are... frayed.

Love and Peace,

New York Goes Full Pink Moloch

You may have forgotten, in the blizzard of bizarre news, that New York's state Senate has passed a law legalizing late term abortion. What does this mean? Via Countable:

Just to drive home the point, here is how a late-term abortion — the kind of abortion just legalized in New York — is carried out: as it has been explained by a former abortionist, the baby is injected with a poison directly into his skull or torso. He then suffers a hideously painful death, which he will certainly feel because of his developed nervous system. The mother carries the corpse around in her womb for a day. The next day, there is an ultrasound to check if the baby is dead. If he isn’t — if he has been writhing and suffering in agony for the past 24 hours, clinging onto life — then he will be injected again. The following day, the mother delivers her dead child. Sometimes she delivers him at the clinic, but if she can’t make it on time, the clinic is perfectly happy to recommend that she give birth into her toilet.

NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, who calls himself Catholic, called this an “historic victory for New Yorkers and our progressive values” and lit up One World Trade Center in pink to celebrate the triumph.

Timothy Dolan, Cardinal Archbishop of New York, has rejected calls to excommunicate Cuomo. I tell you, Satan is openly, unashamedly, brazenly stalking the land. 

In the meanwhile, New York is officially full Moloch.

OUT DEMONS OUT,

Winston Churchill RIP

Day late and a Pound Sterling short but yesterday was the anniversary of Churchill's death. You may scorn Churchill because he wasn't a Bolshevik stooge of the NWO. I say he rises, like a hero.

Roger Stone Arrested

In a daring predawn raid against a 66 year old man, heavily armed FBI agents arrested Roger Stone in the latest phase of Mueller's ongoing  Russian collusion investigation. 

Following his release on bail, Stone made the following statement:

This morning at the crack of dawn, 29 F.B.I. agents arrived at my home with 17 vehicles with their lights flashing, when they could simply have contacted my attorneys and I would have been more than willing to surrender voluntarily.

They terrorized my wife, my dogs. I was taken to the F.B.I. facility, although I must say the F.B.I. agents were extraordinarily courteous. I will plead not guilty to these charges. I will defeat them in court. I believe this is a politically motivated investigation.

I am troubled by the political motivations of the prosecutors, and as I have said previously, there is no circumstance whatsoever under which I will bear false witness against the president nor will I make up lies to ease the pressure on myself. I look forward to being fully and completely vindicated.

Stone's been indicted on 7 charges, including obstruction of justice and making false statements. He has not been charged with colluding with the Kremlin or "trafficking" materials to a "hostile foreign power."

In other words, Mueller's investigation has yet again failed to produce any evidence whatsoever of Russian collusion, despite two years worth of trying and millions of dollars spent in the effort. But it has, yet again, persecuted someone in the process of the investigation itself.

And it's a very real persecution, dawn raid Stasi style, to say nothing of the bankrupting cost of defending yourself against the Deep State machine. Stone fears, understandably, that he might find himself at the bottom of the American gulag archipelago.

In the meanwhile, the actors behind Uranium One, fraudulent FISA warrants, disappearing Strozk/Page texts, Fusion GPS, bleachbit, Benghazi, missing emails by the thousand, smashing Blackberries and on, go unpunished.

Comey, Clapper, Brennan, McCabe, the Podestas, Hillary and the rest of the crew are all at liberty. No 6 am knock on the door for them.

So what are we, some kind of banana republic? 

You be the judge,

Ideology Of White Supremacy And Misogyny

White supremacy?

We'll see about that!

A devil witch?

No, just another celebrity socialist in a mansion.

MillSoc Alyssa's net worth is a mere 10 million. Hardly enough to afford lunch at Davos, what?

How To Join The Hollywood Elite

I know, you've been wondering how you too can join the Millionaire Socialist, celebrity elite rulership of this NWO satrapy called "North America." It's not hard, just follow the infographic. Here it is.

Then think of all the money you'll have. While you're at it, look at Debra's eyes. Adrenachrome? Surely not, that's a myth, just like Marina Abramovic, Podesta, ritual occultism and the DNC. 

Millionaire socialist Debra Messing's net worth is a paltry $20 million. Imagine what Debra and her friends think of you, on your pathetic little salary.

Justified and ancient,

Tucker Carlson Slams Celebrity Left Hate Mob

MUST WATCH: This @TuckerCarlson monologue calling out famous adults who put the Covington Catholic High School boys in danger, some even fantasizing about assault & murder, is one of the best he’s ever done. pic.twitter.com/xQYGcYyihG

— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) January 22, 2019

Via Zerohedge, Tucker Carlson slams famous libs for urging  the doxxing, assault and murder of Covington Catholic kids. You can watch the whole thing here.

In the meanwhile, the students' high school was closed because of violent threats from deranged leftists. Neither the school nor the Diocese of Covington has retracted statements condemning the students, despite video evidence showing they were attacked.

In other news, Ocasio "Sandy" Cortez has told us that the world will end in 12 years because "climate change."

I ask you, has Satan driven these people insane?
