Church of England Gets Women bishops, ISIS Laughs


ISIS Jihadis everywhere are rejoicing as the Church of England, known to many as "Old Mother Damnable," has voted to make women bishops. While ISIS laughs, the CofE is thinking that this will make them popular and relevant, as opposed to dead and tanking. 

Jubilee!

America and Canada have had great success with this winning strategy. That's why they're making law suits converts hand over fist.

Goofing Off

So well done, CofE Now you will have women bishops because anything else is discriminatory, unjust and oppressive, in a patriarchal way. What does that make the Apostles, or Christ? Not much, obviously. But they don't care, it's not about Him anyway.

Dobby

Except that it is and mark this well; go against the Holy Spirit and you will be relentlessly destroyed by the same Spirit and yet again, the turkeys vote for Christmas.

Mind how you go,

Peace Pole Awesome



I took a risk and left Texas for a week. "Why, LSP, did you do that?" Because I had to go to a conference just outside of St. Louis, at Our Lady of the Snows Shrine, in Belleville, Illinois. It was a good event and focused, primarily, on prayer.

Peace Pole

The present Shrine was built in  the late 1960s, I think, and features a "Peace Pole." Maybe you think that Peace Poles are harmless.

Harmless?

Think again.

Dawn Chorus


Perhaps you think it's quiet and peaceful in the country, and sometimes it is. At other times it's not, like when the sun is rising, the roosters are sounding off and the local pit bulls are busy having an insane barking competition. Then there's a peacock; that's fired itself up too.

Well, whoever said life'd be easy?

God bless,

Forward in Faith U.K. Craven Sell-Outs?


Don't get me wrong, I like English Anglo-Catholicism, but why is the Vice Chairperson of Forward in Faith U.K. attending gay pride rallies?

 She was probably just "having fun" but whatever, not good PR. See Anglican Mainstream. Here's someone's take on it:
In the approach to the fateful meeting of the Church of England’s General Synod, beginning 11 July, all the signs indicate that, unlike the more numerous evangelical opponents to women bishops, ‘catholics’ will now only be offering a token resistance. Their hope appears to be a lasting, honoured place in the bosom of the liberal Establishment. But toleration will not be extended to them for long – not because of their glaring theological incoherence – today’s Church of England does not have a serious concern for theology – but because no amount of ‘gay pride’ will be able to absolve them of the unforgivable sin of ‘sex discrimination’. With no allies at home or abroad and with nowhere else to go, the forward march already begun can lead to only one destination: complete absorption.
Dobby


Of course the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, popularly known as "Dobby", would probably approve.

Cheers,

The Episcopal Church Caught on Camera!


The Episcopal Church has been allegedly caught on a hunter's game camera, chasing a deer. Grainy nighttime footage reveals a creature that appears to be the Episcopal Church, stalking through the woods in pursuit of prey.

The Episcopal Church Caught on Camera?

While some analysts believe the blurred images of the predatory Church are a hoax, others suggest that the photographs are real.

"This is actually how the camera captures moving objects," stated one paranormal expert at Strange Mysteries. The demonlike creature also has apparently useless wings, lending credence to theories that it is, in fact, the small but aggressive denomination.

The Episcopal Church's Useless Wings

According to one commentator, "What on earth would have wings like that? There's absolutely no way that the creature could achieve flight! Perhaps it's a deformed creature, or perhaps something else entirely, like the Episcopal Church. Whatever it is, it's creepy."

Litigation Crazed

Deformed creature, demon, or the litigation-crazed Episcopal Church, hunting down yet another victim?

You be the judge.

Westminster Pedophiles


I try to keep this frivolous excuse for a "blog" lighthearted and entertaining. You know the score, Episcopal Church bishops as off-world space creatures, U.S. foreign policy as yet another example of malfunctioning DAARPA android technology, all interspersed with the odd outdoor firearms adventure. But humor aside, what's with Great Britain and the pedos

Cyril Smith Big Satan with the Beast

Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris, Cyril Smith (MP), Sir Peter Hayman, to name just a few, and now it seems that a dossier containing the names of up to 40 child abusing political figures has been conveniently "lost." It's the stuff of conspiracy theory meets conspiracy fact; just how many of Britain's privileged, wealthy, establishment elite have been and are involved in this disgusting crime. It's obviously far-reaching and goes to the top of that country's society. 

Rolf Harris, Little Satan

The church, horrifically, is no stranger to this evil and Pope Francis has likened it, correctly, to devilry, “A priest who has sex with a child betrays God. A priest needs to lead children to sanctity, and children trust him. But instead he abuses them, and this is terrible. I compare it to a satanic mass.” Well said Francis, and the same applies to any adult, or Member of Parliament.

Rifle Brigade? Hate to say it, No Excuse.

Like the successor of Peter, I smell Satan in this mix, and perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that a culture which enthusiastically kills its children in the womb shouldn't feel at liberty to abuse them sexually also.

Find that dossier and get rid of them, root and branch.

A Typical Day in Texas


It was just the normal kind of thing, get up, say Morning Prayer, check ZeroHedge, Drudge, Virtueonline, Stand Firm and head off to the front office porch to conduct the business of the day. Sure enough, before you can say Boycott Burger King, half the Mission turns up on the porch to "get the job done," whatever the various "jobs" might happen to be. I like that and think it's right for clergy to live in parish housing; it puts you in the action.

The Butts

Then I figured it was time for a shoot, so I drove off to the range where I cleverly shot Marlboro Light boxes off of sticks at around 50 yards with a venerable J.C. Higgins .22. Then I moved to a more dangerous paper adversary, the green silhouette. 

Lush Verdant Range Thanks to Climate Change

A Biretta PX4 Storm .45 beat that down and I was pleased to see a decent group. A little left of the X but hey, not too bad.

Go On. Get in the X Ring.

Fun over, I drove back to the compound, met with several church people, said Evening Prayer and drove off to one of the Missions to say Mass. When I got back, a maniacal chicken rushed my truck. Like an assassin. Then it swerved off into the side of HQ to peck at the wall of my house; the bird was mad, obviously, and I walked over to speak to Pedro, its owner.

Must Say Mass in Spanish

Pedro was afraid I'd report his chickens to the "city" and I told him no, I liked his chickens and would be sad if they left. I also hinted that Pedro and Maria might wake up on Sunday morning and come to Mass. He thought that was a good idea.

Back in the Front Office

The day ended back in the front office, where I cleaned a pistol and talked with church people. 

So now you know what it's like, in Texas. On a good day.

God bless,

Burger King Gets Gay


American fast food giant, Burger King, is selling its signature classic Whopper in rainbow packaging. Dubbed the "Proud Whopper," the gay pride burger unwraps to reveal the slogan, "We're all the same inside."

All the same inside? Or just the burgers?

That may be true of the duplicitous gay burger, which pretends to be something new on its rainbow-wrapped exterior but ends up being nothing other than the same old Whopper that people have been choking down for $4.29 since forever. But what about people, are we all the same inside? 

Flaming Broiled

Burger King seems to think so, and believes this reinforces their cryptic new branding slogan "Be Your Way." That argues for individuality and personal expression but if we're all the same inside then what are we? An army of clones? There's no room for individual personality in that, just the gay life of the Burger King Hive Mind.

Welcome to the Hive

Well done, Libs, for yet again producing the exact opposite of your intended result. BK's deceitful gay burgers are being sold in San Francisco. Go figure.

Sunset Over Lake Aquilla


One of the many benefits of rural ministry is that you get to go to the nearest lake after Evening Prayer for some rod and reel enjoyment. I deployed plastics on a Texas rig, to lure the Texan fish.


It was tranquil watching the sun go down over the water, and the sunset was beautiful.

I love shooting, riding and, of course, fishing.

God bless,

Caliphate, Time to Fight back


ISIL has set up the Mahdi banner and proclaimed a new Caliphate, an Islamic state to which all Moslems must rally to defeat, enslave and kill the Infidel. Al-Baghdadi is the Caliph and spiritual heir to the pedophile warlord Mohammed.

Caliph what a gangster

Maybe you think Baghdadi looks like a gangster. Remember, he's Mohammed's direct descendant, apparently.



Savages watch out. We will beat you back.

Just Go Fishing


Today's the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul and I thought I'd celebrate with a bit of bank fishing  at Cedar Creek Park on Lake Whitney. There's plenty of access to the water from the bank and I enjoyed casting into the creek mouth where it meets the lake. 

Lake Whitney from Cedar Creek Park

Had a few bites but no catch; it was tantalizing to see channel cats breaking the water in mid-stream and ignore my lures. Still, always good to get on the water and cast about. I find it clears the mind and there's plenty of sport when the fish are biting, great fun. Next time I go there I'll try my luck further down the Creek.

Here's the Collect for the day:

Almighty God, whose blessed apostles Peter and Paul
glorified you by their martyrdom: Grant that thy Church,
instructed by their teaching and example, and knit together
in unity by thy Spirit, may ever stand firm upon the one
foundation, which is Jesus Christ our Lord; who liveth and
reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and for ever. Amen.
Fish on,
