The Sheer Awesomness Of Women Priests



Wherefore, in order that all doubt may be removed regarding a matter of great importance, a matter which pertains to the Church's divine constitution itself, in virtue of my ministry of confirming the brethren (cf. Lk 22:32) I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful. Ordinatio Sacerdotalis

Are women priests awesome? That's what we've been lead to believe, anything else is simply discriminatory and "weird." Here's Rosie Harper, a UK priestess, arguing in favor of women bishops.

“I would like to take a moment to look at this from the outside in.
“I would like to name the sheer weirdness of a community arguing about discrimination in the 21st century – people out there don’t care enough to be angry but they do dismiss us as weird.
“If we are serious about our mission, and I know this is a very basic point, we really do have to stop being weird.”

Right on, Rosie. If the church is going to get down with mission and fill those achingly empty pews, it'd better get serious about not being weird and consecrate some women. Anything less is an obvious, discriminatory injustice, so much so that society won't take the church seriously.




Leaving aside the knotty issue of the church's interaction with secularist culture, let's focus on discrimination, which is at the heart of the argument. It runs like this: Discrimination is clearly wrong, and not ordaining women as priests and bishops is discrimination, so not ordaining women is wrong. 

And wrong in a big way because, now that we've reached the 21st century, we're really clear about, you know, injustice. So stop being a weird bastion of intolerant discrimination, church, and maybe you'll get some converts. 

Sounds good, right? Stop being an evil discriminator, weirdo. But not so fast, Rosie & Co.




The first bishops and priests were all men, women weren't allowed to fulfill that office, which makes the apostolic setup wrong. In fact it makes it sinful according to Rosie's logic, because it excludes women, which is an obvious evil. And what weirdo put such a  clearly oppressive, wicked, intolerant and unjust system in place? 

That would be Jesus. And if Christ was so blind to such a clear-cut evil, what does that make him? Hardly God. After all, God doesn't sin, but that's exactly what Rosie et al. implicitly accuse Jesus of doing, of setting up a system of ministry that was heinously wrong.  




"If you love me you will keep my commandments," says Jesus. We have to wonder at the quality of the first in the hearts of people who play so fast and loose with the second.

Regardless, ordaining women will apparently make the church less weird and get it on mission. Perhaps that's why the Episcopal Church, and the Church of England have been losing members ever since they tried the experiment.




Or to put it another way, why should disbelievers go to church to have their lack of faith reflected back to them?

Make of this what you will,

Fish After Mass



One of the many benefits of LSPland is that you can go fishing after Mass, which is what we did, right there on Lake Whitney as the sun was beginning to sink in the large Texan sky.

It was a tranquil scene, no doubt about it, but excitement was in the air as first one then several ferocious Bass surged up out of the water to prey on insects and small, unwary birds. Time to get on the fish, gentlemen.




I tried a variety of lures, a mid size shad, some kind of minnow thing and several topwater torpedoes, to say nothing of worms real and plastic along with delicious strawberry fish treats. But the fish were having none of it.

We weren't catching anything, the anglers to the left and right weren't catching anything and neither was man across the way. And that's just the way it was.




No fish on, we fell back to the Compound for a tasty meal of fried chicken and a celebratory glass of the right stuff in honor of Melania's birthday. 


It's Not Over, Fish. Not by a Long Shot

Would fried fish have been better? Sure, but that's for another day, when the fish are biting.

Your Old Friend,

Citizen Kanye


You don't have to agree with trump but the mob can't make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don't agree with everything anyone does. That's what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought. Kanye West


Well done, Kanye, for doing your part to make America great again and fair play Chance, you're doing your part too, along with Joyvilla and other clear thinkers.




Remember, DNC, black people don't have to be Democrats and roll on the black wave. And  while you're at it, what did 8 years of the Magic 0 do for you? Nothing, cubed.




You can support Kanye here, with dragon energy.

Melania Mondays! White Hat Special



America's popular and glamorous First Lady succeeded yet again in dazzling viewers with simple elegance as she welcomed Rothschild toy boy, rainbow Napoleon, NWO puppet Macron and his his weather beaten wife, Brigitte, into the White House.




Melania stunned onlookers with her custom Hervé Pierre white hat. Even CNN had to admit the state visit was Melania's moment. 



Without speaking a word, dressed in a white Michael Kors Collection asymmetrical blazer and skirt -- and an eye-catching, custom-made Hervé Pierre hat -- Melania Trump spoke volumes. This was her house, her dinner and her terms.



Here at Melania Mondays! we've known this all along. Don't cross the First Lady, and if you do, you're a fool. Take note, Vogue, Vanity Fair and all the rest of the lying, corrupt, impure, mendacious, smug, hypocritical mainstream media.




And just to reinforce the point, White Hats rule this town now. Well done Melania, for doing your part to make America great again.

Always MAGA,

Magademia



America loves a superhereo and here at the Compound we're no exception. Enter Wall Might, battling against the Shadow Government and Swamp Creatures, with the help of E Pluribus Unum, his power source.




Now in its third printing, My Hero Magademia is:

America's champion, and the Shadow Government and Swamp Creatures aren't happy about it! They are unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks on those they've dubbed 'The Deplorables', men and women who tap into and grant Wall Might his power. 



Up-and-coming young hero Maiku wants nothing more than to defend his homeland from the forces both assaulting it from outside and poisoning it from within. An unexpected invitation from his hero puts young Maiku in a trial by fire adventure as the Swamp Creatures lay siege to the highest office in the land.




With Wall Might's guidance and a sample of his power source, the E Pluribus Unum, Maiku-kun will find the strength to fight... AND TO WIN!

My Hero Magademia comes from the creators of the hit graphic novel, Thump The First Bundred Days. 




Thump had stellar reviews,  "Deplorable, but adorable. I love these drawings and believe that every true Trumper should have one on their coffee table to confound whatever liberal friends they have left," Chuck Dixon. 




You can buy My Hero Megademia here and Thump here.

St. George's Day




It's the Feast of St. George, so here's a prayer.

FAITHFUL servant of God and invincible martyr, Saint George; favored by God with the gift of faith, and inflamed with an ardent love of Christ, thou didst fight valiantly against the dragon of pride, falsehood, and deceit.
Neither pain nor torture, sword nor death could part thee from the love of Christ.


I fervently implore thee for the sake of this love to help me by thy intercession to overcome the temptations that surround me, and to bear bravely the trials that oppress me, so that I may patiently carry the cross which is placed upon me; and let neither distress nor difficulties separate me from the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Valiant champion of the Faith, assist me in the combat against evil, that I may win the crown promised to them that persevere unto the end. Amen.
England forever.

God bless,

Macron Loves Putin



Unpopular French leader, Emmanuel Macron, expressed his love of Russian President, Vladimir Putin, in a recent interview, calling Putin "strong," "tough" and "smart."


Garcon

"He's strong and smart," said the French leaderene, who isn't gay and went on to applaud Putin's virility. "He is extremely tough," gushed Macron, whilst claiming intimacy with the Russian strongman.


Don't Say Abra


"I respect him. I know him. I'm lucid. I want to work with him," stated 36 year old Macron. The French Premiere then put himself on a pedestal, likening himself to Putin.


Vlad


“I am an equal of Putin," declared Macron, "By the way, Putin understands me. And I decided to strike Syria in order to convey to Putin that we are also part of this.”


Brigitte

Macron claims that he is not a homosexual degenerate. He is happily married to his 64 year old wife, Brigitte.


Repugnant False Flag

Vladimir Putin remains Russia's autocrat Czar and, some would say, new Constantine.





A third Rome there shall never be.

Illuminati Sex Cult Exposed

Allison Mack

Have you heard of NXIVM, the self-help marketing organization founded by Keith Raniere in 1998? You know, the one that had a top tier of wealthy female sex slaves, branded with Raniere's initials and forced into a life of servitude and strict diet. 


Keith Raniere

Painful, surely, and if it looks, sounds and acts like an occult group of rich, Crowleyite, Thelematic degenerates, so be it. But hold on, this has to be the stuff of conspiracy and fantasy? Not so fast. 


A Typical NXIVM Brand

In March, 2018, Raniere was hauled out of his getaway $10k a week Mexican villa by police and brought to justice in the US, where he faces charges of sex trafficking and forced labor.


Abramovic

Smallville actress, Allison Mack, who'd been hiding out in Mexico with Raniere, was also arrested on similar charges. Mack allegedly ran Raniere's sex slave ring.




Also, according to Twitter, Mack's all in favor of Marina Abramovic. You might remember Abra, she's the hermetic performance artist behind spirit cooking.

Connect the dots or not, it's up to you.

A Conjuring Trick With Bones



A day late and a couple of decades short but rest in peace, apostate  bishop, David Jenkins, onetime prelate of Durham.




Back when you were alive you mocked the resurrection as a "conjuring trick with bones," and York Minster was struck by lightning and gutted by fire.




Undaunted, a sturdy third of CofE clergy are with you on the resurrection and a solid 50% express the same kind of doubt about the Virgin Birth.




Roll those bones and see if you come out ahead.

God bless,

So I Went For A Stroll, Dixie



It's not easy having to look at the face of Lyin' Self-Promotin' Comey, leering out at you from myriad screens. Sometimes you have to escape, and that's what I did, strolling through the spacious boulevards of asset stripped rural Texas.


Albanians Run This Place

The cotton's gone now, mostly, but a lot of the bricks and mortar remain of former wealth, albeit re-purposed, and I like that, it gives a sparseness to things and a feel of the frontier. 


Chip & Joanna?


The Spring air is crisp and clear too, unlike the smog you breathe in the plastic sided monstrosity of the Metrosprawl, and that's a benefit all to itself.


Dixie

You may be surprised to know that this town has no plans for removing its Confederate War memorial, unlike Dallas.

Go on, come and take it,
