We Need That Amount Of Effort

 

We don't have this in the US Army, but we do actually have an Army.

Stand Up For Life

 

Evening Prayer (1928 BCP, thank you very much) is said, birds sing, a dog rests after a hard day of collecting welfare, and Fr. Louis teaches something Mexican in the church hall. And all seems well with the world, at least from this rural Texan point of view.

You wouldn't know, from this vantage point, that 10 states in the Union allow abortion up to birth. You might be excused for glossing over the fact that our country's 39 Trillion Dollars in debt and that Western Europe's committing demographic suicide. They've apparently lost the will to live, along with Massachusetts, Minnesota, Alaska, Colorado Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont.

You'll note all these are Democrat strongholds. Why, we ask, does the Left hate life to the extent of killing babies, which is exactly what we're talking about. Ostensibly it's all about women's freedom and autonomy; to be a factor in the means of production and so achieve meaning and happiness. Babies stand in the way of that, obviously, so get rid of them and be free. In other words, I want a career and cash and having a baby doesn't fit in with that, so I'll choose wymxns healthcare.

Or something like that, but there's a deeper reason or animus behind this demonic slaughter. Nihilism. The Left hates Western culture and its Faith, values, and aesthetic; it hates Western civilization itself. As Roger Scruton reminds us, for every value or achievement our forbears thought valuable there's a university course deconstructing the same.

Destroying the family and convincing women to go against their most natural instinct, to bear and raise children, in fact to kill them, is perhaps the most heinous of crimes. Their end is destruction and there will be a reckoning. Divine justice demands it.

You Satan

In the meanwhile, Massachusetts Governor  Maura Healey signed literal infanticide into law as her female cheerleaders clapped and gushed, a scene from Hell. At the time of writing, neither the Pope nor any member of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops have excommunicated Maura, a self-proclaimed Catholic. You can, apparently, kill babies unrepentantly and still receive Holy Communion. Burning coals spring to mind, there will be a Reckoning.

Stand For Life,

LSP

YOU UTTER DEMONS

 

Just in case you missed it, Massachusetts, which is a rich, liberal enclave in North East America, just signed into law a bill which permits abortion at the point of birth. Reflect on that. At. The Point. Of. Birth. As in, kill your baby as you give birth to it. There's no nuance here, no grey area, just sheer demonic infanticide.

Some of you may recall that the Romans fought a war against Carthage, which they won, plowing salt into the ruins of that city; that same city which sacrificed their children to Moloch, casting them into a burning, brazen idol. Listen up. Carthage met it's end, and so too will our latter day followers of Moloch.

Let's put it bluntly: You can't kill your babies and not expect extreme, fiery, cataclysmic retribution. To be more blunt still: The comparative silence of the Church, regardless of denomination, is staggering. 

You'd think that Roman Catholics and perhaps the Baptists would be seriously kicking off about this, but they're not. We have to ask, are their leaders bought and paid shills? Maybe so, in the meanwhile, Massachusetts is all in for killing babies. These people are demonic  antichrists; their end is destruction and their Father was a murderer from the beginning. I'm being polite.

In a sane world we'd launch a crusade against such satans, yet here we are.

Deus Vult.

🚨 UPDATE: Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) has officially signed a law allowing abortion up to the POINT OF BIRTH, with liberals cheering

This is straight-up demonic.

The previous law only allowed abortions after 24 weeks in limited circumstances.

Fauci - What An Utter Fraud Killer

 

This evil, lying satan destroyed the lives of many people. He was the richest bureaucrat in America. Now he's hunted, and about time too. What an evil man, what a killer.

Best,

Living The Dream

Here in the great state of Texas we do not rest, we drive out to country Missions to celebrate the Mass and bring the Body and Blood of Our Lord to the faithful. But we're not the only ones who don't rest, pan to the remarkable Russian conductor Alexey Karabanov.

Karabanov, Director of the Russian Navy's Central Band and the Admiralty's Navy Band, isn't content with such honorifics, he clearly has a purpose, namely to produce and recreate the culture of a gilded age, pre-Bolshevik Russia. 

He does so through beautiful, powerful music and bravura 1900s aura. What does this mean? I'm not altogether sure, but Karabanov shows us that it can done, that the hideous ugliness of the way we live now doesn't have to be that way.

Let's be blunt. Our architecture is heinously bad. Our art is nonsensical at best. Our music is a manufactured cacophany. Literature? Show me a Shakespeare or even an Evelyn Waugh or Graham Greene. Philosophy? A hollowed out sham which denies truth and doesn't even stick around for an answer.

Note - They Stand

Karabanov stands against this willful, self-inflicted decline. I respect that and if it can be done in Russia, the removed epicenter of Bolshevism, it can be done here too. Ah, but here's the thing, culture follows on from cult, obviously. You'll note Karabanov is a Christian.

RAIN

 

At last! Rain! You'll note we put out the ferns and porch palm. Let them enjoy the skywater. In the meanwhile, thunder rolls overhead like the guns on Ostfront and all is well in this rural haven. except, obviously, that we might get washed away in the flood.

Sunny Hello,

It's Getting Better All The Time

"It's getting better all the time," sang the loveable, cheeky, harmonic, tousle-haired gang of pastel shaded mountebanks in an act of reverse prophecy, because guess what? It isn't getting better all the time. No, it's getting worse.  But before we get into slight detail, let's listen to their jolly little song, check it out:

I guess it seemed, to these fools and most everyone else, that everything was getting better 'round about 1968 as we threw off the oppressive shackles of the past and marched into a brave post-rationing world of progress. Outward and visible sign? Destroying the architecture of the past and replacing it with concrete, brutalist hubs of ugliness. And that's just it.

We haven't gotten any better since 1968, on the contrary, we've declined. Politics, a thrashing node of in-your-face corruption. Education, a hollowed out holding-pen sham. Police, in Europe and the UK an extension of Cultural Marxist DEI slop, rainbow enforcers if you like. And on, but let's get personal.

Do you earn the equivalent of what your fathers did in the late '60s? You know, when one man could support a wife and family on one modest income? No, you don't, that's utterly impossible unless you're amongst the fortunate and shrinking few who can. On point: Back in the '90s I could go to a pub, buy pints of beer, smoke(!) and have a great time for not much more than 20GBP. Today? Not so much if at all.

Things have gotten worse instead of better. You're poorer now, a lot poorer; we're not riding flying cars on free energy, but we are paying more for housing and entertainment, and everything is ugly, really ugly, as in to look at; see the entrance to any American city, utterly hideous. Well I could go on and on and bore you to bits but the point is this: Contrary to the Beatles, we're not getting better, we're getting worse. Why?

I'll wager this. Because we've jettisoned the Faith which is the foundation of our culture. Get rid of that and everything collapses, and into this vacuum has spread all kinds of fast-propagating wickedness, not least today's rainbow Bolshevism. 

Word to the wise. Reject it, say no to it, expose it, mock it, dismantle it, scorn it, and in doing so lift up the Faith which is beautiful, good and true. Replace their faked up satanic Marxist rubbish with the real thing, with the Faith given to us by Christ, the Faith which is the foundation of real progress and beatitude.

Sermon over,

CONTEMPT

 

Contempt

Perhaps, at long last, some kind of accountability is falling into place. The Senate Homeland Security Committee voted today to hold the heinous, smug, mendacious, lying, corrupt, rich, weasel-fraud Fauci in contempt for refusing to answer questions before Congress. 

He couldn't do it, this grossly overpaid bureaucrat of fraud, and invoked the 5th some 100 times. Now he's being referred to the DOJ for prosecution. Good, and not before time that one of the most serious COVID malfeasants was brought to account. 

you evil Mengele

Will he be, this weaselly, absurdly overpaid, grifting, death-dealing enemy of the people? Don't hold your breath, but hey, a step in the right direction. Here's John 8:44, right on point:

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

 

You'll be interested to know that "doctor" Fauci is a very wealthy man with a net worth of around 12MN$. Satan, you see, rewards its own. As in:

Wealth Growth and Sources

Government Salary: Fauci served as the highest-paid federal employee, earning an annual government salary of $480,654 prior to his retirement in December 2022. His wife also maintained a high-level government bioethics career at the NIH.

Pandemic Growth: Financial records showed their combined household net worth grew from roughly $7.6 million before the pandemic to peak around $12.6 million by the end of 2021, before market fluctuations adjusted it to about $11.5 million at the close of 2022.

Post-Retirement Earnings: Since stepping down, Fauci's net worth has continued to climb past $12 million due to high-value book deals—including a memoir advance of roughly $5 million—alongside numerous paid public speaking fees ranging from $50,000 to $100,000 per appearance, and standard federal pension payouts.

 

how revolting

All that money, a large sum even by today, all for his taxpayer-funded Wuhan work of ruining the lives of people around the world. What a satan, and if what passes for our governance can bring this very bad actor to justice I'll be amazed and relieved.

Remember, punters, this rich, evil, lying mountebank played a major part in ruining peoples' lives around the world on account of a flu with a 99.9% survival rate. Surely one of the biggest psyop frauds in modern history, pushing Trump's a Kremlin agent into a close second. On a personal note, the vax nearly killed my eldest son and the Canadian lockdown destroyed the last years of high school for my youngest. Outrage ain't in it.

Maybe, please, the light of our transfigured Lord will burn away this foul corruption. Like no kidding.

With every blessing for the Feast of the Transfiguration.

Yours,

LSP

Marking Time

Busy here, because people are sick and some are dying. May God send his angels to bear them up to paradise. In lieu of comment on the heinous way we live now, here's a tune, old but gold:

What a great song. In the meanwhile, the Left's hollowed out the Western Church, judiciary, press, academia, and every other institution you care to name. Well done, Cultural Marxists in your "long march through the institutions." But they've got a problem.

The people, you and I, all those people who don't agree with neo-Maoist nihilism, aren't on board, and we're the majority, by far. We don't want their Khmer Rouge utopia, we reject their godless revolutionary project.

maybe the best patch ever

Problem. Solution? Import millions of votes from the post colonial world and smash that white working class ballot box into oblivion, all in the name of tolerance. Clever, eh?

Ain't it, but we've seen through their cunning little ruse here in the States. Europe/UK needs to catch up and it will. Remember this, punters, everything the Left does produces the exact opposite of its intended result.

Your Pal,

LSP

Good Man - Bad Woman

 

Fr. Javier Aizpún comments on the recent invasion of Spanish territory in North Africa:

"Our Lady of Africa, patroness of Ceuta, may she drive the reconquest of Morocco and its conversion to Christianity. What Queen Isabella the Catholic left undone, let us know how to finish." 

Fraud

Too bad the man in Rome isn't able to speak with such clarity and truth. In the meanwhile, the COE's diversity hire's busy showing up for photo ops on her cringey apologize to Africa campaign. Pathetic, useless, virtue signaling exhausting DEI slop, but the serpent is a subtle beast.

Our Lady of Africa

African Christians don't take kindly to wymxn priestesses, much less Archbishop figure leaderenes. Problem, especially if you're a priestess nominally in charge of the show. Solution? Give the recalcitrant Africans 100 million GBP in diversity bribe money. Sorted. Big soy lattes all 'round.

Our Lady of Africa, pray for us,

Civil War

 

There's a lot of loose talk about civil war in the UK right about now, and that's understandable, their beloved rulers appear to be acting against the well-being of the people they've sworn to protect and serve. Witness two-tier policing, open borders malfeasance and just about every other crooked skulduggery you care to imagine. Net result? Civil war or some kind of rebellion, to put it mildly.

Hey, civil war talk was all the rage here a year or two ago for precisely the same reason, nooses down the Mall. But hold on, what would such a conflict look like? Maybe the Battle of the Crater helps to clarify things, in which a massive Union mine led to disastrous results.

Sobering, d'ye not think, and we've not even gotten into the Ukrainian brother war carnage. So maybe everyone should just simmer down and return to normalcy or "civility"? There's more than a few political philosophers with tenure that suggest such a thing. How irenic, and good luck with that. 

For what little it's worth, I feel we're past the point of no return, where there are no polite solutions to the nihilist assault on everything beautiful, good and true. But what do I know, I'm just a country preacher, living under the sylvan shade of the leafy glens of Old Texas, in the North Central Texas Exclusion Zone where every day is a foray into the preheating oven we call "Summer." 

Whatev, make your confession, go to Mass and wait for the new Franco. Spain's clearly in need.

Deus Vult,

A Short Sunday Sermon

 

Do you like sermons which go on for 30 or 40 minutes? I don't, and typically run outside for a cigarette and a cup of coffee, if available, while the preacher's banging on interminably. That in mind, I'll try to keep it short lest you lose interest and dive into the nearest gun shop.

The miraculous feeding of the 5000. Positive divine power proof that Jesus was God; mortals can't do such things. Our first lesson, the divinity of Christ, but what else? Start at the beginning of the passage and what do we find? Jesus stepping ashore from his boat, God made Man stepping onto the shore of the world, the Incarnation. Once there he beholds the crowd, the mass of broken humanity, and moved with compassion, cures the sick.

Behold the character of the Incarnate Word; full of compassion, with mercy, pity and love, he heals the sick. There on that shore it was physical disease, which points to a greater cure, our deliverance from sin and death, of being made whole again by the great physician of our souls. Where is this achieved?

On the Cross, and again the miraculous narrative points us to this, to the "lonely place apart" where the day is well-spent, to Gethsemane, the Praetorium, to Golgotha itself and the Cross, where our Lord cries out, "It is finished," and darkness covers the land even as he feeds us with the miraculous food of his body and blood.

Look what we have in just the first half of the Gospel passage, an outline of Christ's redemptive work, but we have to ask, where do we get this supernatural food? In the Eucharist, which is emphatically prefigured in the miracle. What happens?

There in the dark, recall his Passion, he takes the small offering of  5 loaves and two fish, signifying what? The Law and the Prophets, the 5 senses of Man sanctified, the sevenfold order of creation, Jesus himself who is the bread of life? All this perhaps and more and, having taken this up he blesses it, breaks it and gives it to the disciples to distribute.

He does the very same thing at the Last Supper, the first Eucharist, where from his compassion he feeds his disciples with the miraculous food of his body and blood shed for them on the Cross for the remission of their sins, for their healing and life. He does the same for us today in the Mass, where our Lord steps ashore to heal us, to make us whole again with God, nourishing us with the supernatural food of his body and blood.

What can we do in the face of such mystery? Draw near with faith to the sacrament of our Lord's Body and Blood, wherein the Great Physician heals us, forgiving our sins and raises us to eternal life.

God Bless,

LSP
