I am obsessive (CAUTION AND WARNING - DESCRIPTIVE LANGUAGE!)

Someone sent me the message last night that I am "obsessive." It was a reference to posts on Facebook and Twitter about the Synod and what certain bishops and cardinals have said and what has been said by certain priests and more likely, one in particular.  

I am convicted and to paraphrase St. Paul, "I am obsessive for Christ and His Truth and His Church" and if that makes me a "fool for Christ," so be it.

I would rather be doing other things. Renovate parts of my house, watching a movie with Fox, reading, sitting in the garden. Instead, I blog so that you and others will know what is going on, so that in some way we can hope that this noise we are making is going to get through.

If if doesn't, and we fail; at least we will know that we did what we could.

A friend and his wife have told me that they have sworn off the news and the Internet during the Synod. Not that they do not want to know, they know too much, but for them, they have determined that the only solution is continual prayer. How wonderful and supportive of keeping the world ticking so that we can do this. Yes, prayer. For others, this. It is not one or the other, it is both and some are better at one or the other.

I would rather the Lord say to me, "you were a little hard in that battle but I forgive you because you did it for me and my little ones" then "why didn't you fight for me with the talents that I gave you, I do not know you."

My parents hated what happened after Vatican II, but they accepted it because they had no choice and they knew no better. Your parents or grandparents did the same thing. We cannot, we must not.

Look at what is happening.


Caution, descriptive language




This is what our Churchmen want you to accept as normal and "gifts" to offer to the Church. The insertion of the penis into the anus of another man to be used as a masturbatory force. Mutual masturbation. Oral sodomy  the insertion of the penis into the man's mouth often through the use of "poppers" amyl nitrate contained in room deodorizers to soften and open the muscles of the anus or throat. The swallowing of the semen of another man. Anal fisting. The expulsion of excrement is common during these actions. Well, what do you think happens? The oral licking of another man's anus. Do you know what a "slurp ramp" is? How about a "glory hole?" Felching? (you won't want to look that up) How much disease and death is a result of this immoral behaviour which when I was born was a criminal offense? 

Yes. that is some of what they do.

This is not about love. They are liars. This is not about the colour of his and his towels. Have you ever wondered about the order of their homes or the pillows or their cleanliness or fastidiousness? It is because they are trying to scrub it off but they cannot. Their subconscious knows the filth of the excrement and sin and they cannot clean it off until they wash it in the Blood of Christ.


Pervert protecting bishops and priests


These filthy perverts in the Catholic Church and media, many, many of them priests and bishops and cardinals are attempting to normalise what homosexuality is and what sodomites and lesbians do. They want to give them a "blessing," the state already calls it "marriage." They want to change the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ and two-thousand years of teaching and truth. 

This is what Bishop Bonny and Cardinal Danneels want you to accept as normal and other spokesman who would change language and mole priests such as Charamsa as well, that there is something wrong with you if you don't agree. They want to bless these relationships? They want to change the language? Are they all homosexuals themselves? They are certainly homosexualists!


No, I will not be silent. I would much rather blog about music and liturgy or shut it down all together.

I will obsess.

Pray for me. Pray for Barona and Steve Skojec and Ann Bardhardt and Hilary White and Mundabor and so many other bloggers and writers. Pray for Michael Voris and his team in Rome who are getting us as much of the news as they can. Pray for Edward Pentin. Pray for Cardinal Burke.

Do you understand? They are pillaging our Mother. They are turning Her upside down and calling evil, good.

Yes, I am obsessive and may I always be. May I always obsess for Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church.

Until the day I die.

Congregati sunt inimici nostri,

et gloriantur in virtute sua:
contere fortitudinem illorum, Domine, et disperge illos:
* Ut cognoscant, quia non est alius qui pugnet pro nobis,
nisi tu Deus noster.


Then Judas, and his brethren said: "Behold our enemies are discomfited: let us go up now to cleanse the holy places and to repair them." And all the army assembled together, and they went up into mount Sion. And they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burnt, and shrubs growing up in the courts as in a forest, or on the mountains, and the chambers joining to the temple thrown down. And they rent their garments, and made great lamentation, and put ashes on their heads. And they fell face down to the ground on their faces, and they sounded with the trumpets of alarm, and they cried towards heaven.

Then Judas appointed men to fight against them that were in the castle, till they had cleansed the holy places. And he chose priests without blemish, whose will was set upon the law of God. And they cleansed the holy places, and took away the stones that had been defiled into an unclean place. And he considered about the altar of holocausts that had been profaned, what he should do with it. And a good counsel came into their minds, to pull it down: lest it should be a reproach to them, because the Gentiles had defiled it; so they threw it down. And they laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, till there should come a prophet, and give answer concerning them.

Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former. And they built up the holy places, and the things that were within the temple: and they sanctified the temple, and the courts. And they made new holy vessels, and brought in the candlestick, and the altar of incense, and the table into the temple. And they put incense upon the altar, and lighted up the lamps that were upon the candlestick, and they gave light in the temple. And they set the loaves upon the table, and hung up the veils, and finished all the works that they had begun to make.

Who's on first?

Perusing this morning's post by Barona at Toronto Catholic Witness blog, I discovered this:


Richard Gaillardetz  Joseph Professor of Catholic Systematic Theology at Boston College said the above in the September 25, 2013 issue of the National Catholic Reporter as highlighted below:



I'm confused.

On March 2, 2015, LifeSiteNews reported the following:



It seems then that Father Thomas J. Rosica has plagiarised Richard Gaillardetz.

In other news.

EWTN's National Catholic Regsiter permits libel and defamation against Pope Francis and Vox Cantoris in its combox - violates its own comment posting policy

The National Catholic Register which can join the "Reporter" in the fish-wrap category has a comment in its post regarding the recent situation and the lifting of the threat of a lawsuit which was apparently never real in the first place, it was all just a little game.

Why is a Catholic journal of great respect and owned by EWTN allowing an anonymous comment of "Francis Pope" in the combox that contains nothing but calumny, slander, character assassination and defamation?  


If you think that I'm peeved now, you ain't seen nothin' yet!


I demand its removal, a retraction and a public apology!


Let them know what you think and please post a copy in the combox below.


http://www.ncregister.com/info/write-us

One more thing; my wife and I married during a solemn nuptial mass. We have been publicly accused on an insipid and dyspeptic blog of adultery. The person that has done this is known to me and has engaged in harassment for four years but never to this extent. Unfortunately, while the blog has few people reading it intentionally, it ends up on search engines and feeds where this slander can become widespread. Further, the Church's canonical procedure of annulments has been held in disrepute by these two people. It is a heresy to deny the power of Peter to "bind and loose" and to "deny and loose" as these have done. I have previously spoken with my "brother" and have taken "two" to counsel him. I have now "taken it to the Church" to his Pastor and two other Toronto priests. While I have ignored it in the past, torontotlmserving@gmail.com, this I can no longer ignore. 

Furthermore, the person behind Wendy List, Linda List, Maggie, Francis Pope who operates from 0102anonymous@gmail.com and whatever pseudonym that cowardly mind can conjure up should be aware that the I.P. address has been determined and all of this information has been provided to your Pastor. Unlike others, I choose to follow Holy Scripture as found in the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians. It is now up to him to deal with you through the internal forumThe fact that you wrote the bile which was then reprinted by the young and impressionable blogger in question has deepened your own culpability and perpetuated your own public scandal by inviting him to participate in it.

Suffice to say, I am not putting up with this harassment any longer.

While I don't agree with every thing our Pope has said or done, I am certainly not going to accuse him of  "smoking a big, big spliff in a jacuzzi!"  with a priest who was known to engage previously in a manner for which we can ask "who are we to judge!" Now, how did that calumny escape the attention of the moderator!

Shame on the NCRegister and shame on both of you who are, objectively speaking, in serious need of spiritual guidance, confession and penance, I suggest you obtain it quickly for you not what time the Bridegroom comes.

Update at 20:00hrs EDT

I am pleased to report that the young man with the blog linked at the National Catholic Register combox has purged the many offensive posts from his blog. Let us hope he has learnt his lesson and refrains from any further behaviour in this regard.

However the National Catholic Register has still not undertaken the removal of the offensive (and apparently moderated comment) which includes calumnious description of Pope Francis and others.

Raymond Arroyo has taken it upon himself to apologise. He is a man of class.

Posted by Frances Pope on Sunday, Mar 8, 2015 1:03 PM (EDT):

This website of a young Catholic I know;and Domet has been slandering on the web for years is worth visiting.  It might educate people to the truth.

Here is what this young man has to say.  He is right.

“...Worse, I hate to see it done to young people of my generation and the next. To do it to the Church`s next generation and kids, to me, is a darker, more villainous sin to commit vs. older adults. It is deeply contrary to the New Evangelization, and instead embraces a New Tyranny…”
Posted by Frances Pope on Sunday, Mar 8, 2015 12:52 PM (EDT):

This case is not as cut and dry as you think.  It’s amazing that those who know little or nothing are writing or commenting here.

My experience with Domet who has maliciously slandered Young Catholics on the web,is voiced by Maggie on another Blog.  I take the liberty of forwarding a very accurate comment by Maggie on another blog which was deleted by the blogger who happened to be a Domet supporter.
...

David is no martyr. He’s been brazenly libelling people for years; and we’re not just talking of people like Fr. Rosica. He’s written tirades in his blogs against people who were formally his friends, kids at least 3 decades younger than he. He’s even lashed out at others in the traditionalist movement here in Toronto and undermined their efforts when they've organized Solemn Masses on Holy Days at churches that haven’t so much as smelt incense in 40 years.

This man was a ticking time bomb. It was only a matter of time. If Rosica pursues this and decides to reach out to other people David’s libelled it could get interesting. And it would be his own doing.
I’ve been reading comments on the traditional Catholic blogosphere giving David all kinds of advice from “hiring a canon lawyer” to suggestions of writing to our archbishop or even writing to the pope. Some are painting this as some vast conspiracy instigated by Francis to silence blogs that he doesn’t like. With respect, Francis is likely busier smoking a big big spliff with Rabbi Skorka and Msgr. Ricca in a heated jacuzzi in Sanctae Marthae than following bloggers of the likes of Domet. All this support from clueless people who don’t even know him just feeds the beast that is David’s ego at the expense of more sober thought.

Rosica has a good prima facie case for libel. This is true not because the judges are bad or the system is corrupt or because Canada is an awful, hedonistic, sodomitic, anti-Catholic country. If Mars were a common law jurisdiction, David would be in trouble there too. Considering all the facts, should he issue a retraction, remove the objectionable posts and escape this with his finances in order, his roof over his head and not facing [redacted] it’ll be because of Fr. Rosica’s goodness. But knowing David, he won’t do that. Facts and laws be damned. David is always right, you see”

To EWTN:


PLEASE REFER THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY TO THE EXECUTIVES OF EWTN

Sirs,

My name is David Anthony Domet and I own the blog at www.voxcantor.blogspot.com. I have been a subscriber of EWTN for over 15 years.

Your newspaper, The National Catholic Register, has permitted in its combox a comment regarding me that is libellous, defamatory, calumniating and filled with outright lies posted by someone anonymous using the name of "Francis Pope." 

How is it possible that this bile made it through a comment moderator?


This is a disgrace for a Catholic publication and EWTN. The person that has done this is known to me and has been harassing me for four years. She is in a grievous state of mortal sin, objectively speaking, and you have participated in it by publishing her filth and bile.

I demand that this filth be removed immediately and that an apology for it and a retraction be printed at the top of the story.

Yours truly,
=
Vox Cantoris

And this:

Dear Mr. Domet,

On behalf of EWTN I will step forward and apologize. 

I'm so sorry. 

Raymond

Inés San Martin, Phil Lawler and Kathy Schiffer - My parting shot to three journalists in a fading media

Inés San Martin, Phil Lawler and Kathy Schiffer - this one's just for you.

I'm the little guy, just what the video on Church Militant TV by Michael Voris portrayed. A family man with a mortgage and car payments, a dog and friends and a love for Christ and His Church. I speak the truth and I write the truth and some people don't like it - well, that is their problem not mine. As St. Thomas More said "We must pray that when your head stops spinning, your face is front again."

One day a few weeks ago, I got hit with what could have been the fight of my life. You three come late to the cause, a just cause - my defence from losing my home and my health for a frivolous and vexatious action that is now defended by the very libel and defamation of which I was falsely accused. Let me tell you three so-called journalists something. The little people are not stupid, they've seen through it and they don't need you and your buttered-bread media to spin it to them.

You're lazy journalists and you lack compassion for the real victim and you didn't even bother to find the real story or read between the lines. 

You made suppositions and assumptions. You wrote and gave opinion and you did not interview me and you did not treat this with the seriousness that it deserved for the mainstream Catholic press. Breitbart and Renew America didn't interview either but they had no pony in the race and no agenda and both of them presented a more balanced picture.

I've woken this morning with a burr in my saddle and I'm directing it at the three of you.

I didn't need you before or read you and I don't need you now and I won't read you and I recommend that nobody else does either. So go and sue me for hurting your subscriptions.

But let me tell you this.

You sit there in your little paid journalistic job with your college education - what do you earn 30k maybe 40k US, if that? Or you beg for money to keep your web page going. Ha, you're hardly worth even that. You're a bunch of sycophants doing the bidding of ecclesiastics. Tell me something Miss San Martin; how did you know that the matter was dropped before I did? You obviously had lots of time to write that story, no doubt; but not enough time to enquire with me?

You see down here where the real people, "the rabble" live, there are real issues for me and my family associated with this disgusting mess that was put upon me without justice and without charity and without humility and should never have happened in the first place.

Nowhere in your blathering did I find an ounce of compassion for the personal hardship and stress that this sordid, unnecessary event put on me or my wife. Nor did I see any sympathy for the fact that my legal fees are not "pro bono." Oh, that's the cost of writing a blog, eh? You're all Americans - you have freedom of speech and freedom of the press don't you? Or have you succumbed to the obamanisation of your once great land. You're a bunch of alinskyite trolls doing the bidding of those who pull your strings.  You're not free thinking journalists. You get your bread buttered by the Catholic Church and you're afraid to lose whatever it is they give you. How do you sleep?

The accusations were false to begin with and now I have the bill to deal with. Why did you not challenge the fact that indeed there was a "threat" of a lawsuit.  You let that one get away and did not hold accountable the inaccuracy of the statement which is there for all to see. I did not see you report or give an opinion or show compassion for the physical or emotional affects that this putrid event took on me or my wife or our closest friends or my productivity in other tasks over the last three weeks or the general scandal for the Church! 

You call yourselves Catholics, pfft!

I didn't need you then and I don't need you now.

What you don't know is "the rest of the story" and there is much to tell, but you were tools in a tool box, and lazy journalists and too worried about your buttered bread to bother to seek the truth and the full story.

Maybe some day I'll tell it and it won't be pretty; it will finally hold people accountable for what they did a long time ago and not so long ago and it will expose the whole lot of them for what they truly are. Someone's going to get that story out there, but it won't be you.

Now go sue me.

'Tis indeed a most wonderful life


The last few weeks have been quite instructive. Let's be clear, I never asked nor expected that this blog or my name would be on hundreds of blogs or conservative secular media. The truth is, I would be happy if it were otherwise. It seems though, in the main-stream Catholic media, I'm just a "discontented lazy rabble" blogger getting in the way. The people of the Catholic world are awakening "all because a few starry-eyed" bloggers "stir 'em up and fill their heads with a lot of impossible ideas!" The secular press in the United States, Breitbart and Renew America showed more respect and accuracy for the situation to say nothing of the hundreds of blogs in multiple languages around the world than the main-stream Catholic media.

Since this situation began nearly three weeks ago, this "obscure" blog has had a ten and some days twenty-fold increase in readers to say nothing of a climb of 9,000,000 in Alexa rankings. Since you're all here, welcome and know this, there won't be any joining of the "church of nice" so if you're easily offended, TTFN, which is a polite and truly Canadian manner of speech rather than STFU, but then again, I'm not a boyzillian. George Bailey is more my model and we know what a wonderful life he had and that Clarence finally got his wings.

The little people, "this rabble," who do "most of the working and p[r]aying and living and dying" in the Church" -- John and Mary Catholic with a keyboard and monitor (not a pen and a phone) are taking up the cause of Truth around the world. Whilst a keyboard and monitor do not a turn us into "bishops or liturgists" they do give us a voice far beyond Pottersville to fulfill our canonical rights and obligations. We are more than a collection plate now, except of course in Germany where the bishops have their kirchensteuer and pornography businesses,  and enough Euros to make Mr. Potter envious.

The mainstream Catholic press took a much different approach. It was gratifying to be called a “nut” in the combox at Crux and I was a little surprised by the fact that it was removed. Considering the source I'd took it as a badge of honour. Crux seems to be nothing more than the non-liturgical version of Pray, Tell and Worship where it's all telling and little of the other two. Phil Lawler at Catholic Culture, when not begging for money on every article or to leave him a comment, refers to your writer as “hounding” a certain cleric - (oh, if he only knew the real truth about that). Noted also is Kathy Schiffer in the National Catholic Register stating that “Indeed, Domet’s blog has been inflammatory. Domet opposes any discussion of change with regard to the family. He was an outspoken critic of last year’s synod on the family and has sounded an alarm in advance of the upcoming synod in fall 2015.”


Oh, and you're owned by EWTN? Mother, Mother! Look at what they've done with what you've built. Maybe you should have "blown it up" before you let them have it.

Any Catholic with an ounce of faith should have opposed “any discussion of change with regard to the family” at last October’s Extraordinary Synod. As for this writer and all the new friends made in the last three weeks out there sounding “the alarm in advance of the upcoming synod in the fall of 2015,” you can be absolutely certain, Miss Schiffer, that it is going to continue.


Inés, Phil and Kathy; the next time, you want to know what an obscure blogger thinks, why not actually get in touch and do a proper interview and check all the facts, or would that be expecting too much from a medium that has not come to grips with the fact that there is an alternative to those who have their bread buttered on both sides by ecclesiastics and burn incense at the altar of the Mr. Potters of the world.


Oh, and one more thing, the Church and Catholics need these "measly" blogs "if only to have some place where people can come without crawling" to the main-stream Catholic media!

Father Thomas J. Rosica, CSB on threat of lawsuit against blogger Vox Cantoris - "the matter is now closed"

http://saltandlighttv.org/blog/fr-thomas-rosica/a-message-from-fr-thomas-rosica-csb

A message from Father Thomas J. Rosica, CSB
March 4, 2015
From today’s first reading at Mass
Jeremiah 18:18-20
 The people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem said,“Come, let us contrive a plot against Jeremiah.It will not mean the loss of instruction from the priests,nor of counsel from the wise, nor of messages from the prophets.And so, let us destroy him by his own tongue;let us carefully note his every word.”
Heed me, O LORD, and listen to what my adversaries say.Must good be repaid with evil
that they should dig a pit to take my life? Remember that I stood before you to speak in their behalf, to turn away your wrath from them.
As the CEO of the Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation and Television Network, I am not a high-ranking Vatican official nor a member of the hierarchy of the Church as erroneously claimed in several recent blogs.  In addition to my work at Salt and Light, I have had the privilege of serving since 2013 in a volunteer capacity as English language assistant to the Holy See Press Office.  I relate on a daily basis to hundreds of English language journalists around the world.  I know that this daily service has been encouraged and appreciated by the Vatican and by hundreds of journalists all over the world.
I fully support the teaching of the Church and welcome Pope Francis’ invitation to the whole Church to reflect seriously on the foundations of our faith. The recent Extraordinary Synod of Bishops has invited us to mature, honest dialogue and conversation and to find new ways and a new language to communicate the ancient story of the Church and our beautiful, unchanging doctrine to future generations.
Mature expressions of differences are welcome.  It is one thing to have differing opinions on church matters. However, there is fine line between difference of opinion and blatant destruction of person’s lives and reputations. Having been strongly advised to respond, as an individual and in no institutional capacity to the Vatican or to my place of work, to the continuous false, slanderous statements of a blogger over a long period of time that resulted in gross distortion, misinformation, many phone calls, letters and clear threats from callers based on the repeated false information contained in the blog, it was never my intention to sue, but rather to issue a letter to “cease and desist” the frivolous calumny. A legal firm, offering its service pro bono to us, issued a letter to cease and desist. No lawsuit was ever launched against the blogger! The matter is now closed.
Popes Benedict XVI and Francis have taught clearly that the Internet and blogs can be of tremendous service to the up-building of the Church and of humanity. They have never taught that blogs and social media should be used, in the name of fidelity, to engender slander, hatred, reviling and destroying.
In a world torn apart by hatred, terror and violence, often through the gross distortion of religion, we must be much more attentive to our use of social media and how it is used to unite rather than destroy humanity. Many in the Catholic blogosphere have contributed enormously to the spread of the faith, the defense of all that is good and beautiful about our faith and our Church, and the opening of dialogue among strangers. They are to be congratulated and encouraged. Others have chosen to turn the blogosphere into a black hole of vitriol, anger and profound sadness. As Catholics, the great privilege and freedom of expression and access to social media also have certain obligations of decency, integrity, honesty and charity that reveal who we really are as a faith community.
Fr. Thomas Rosica, CSB
CEO, Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation

PLEASE NOTE THE LINK TO THE ORIGINAL LETTER FROM FOGLER, RUBINOFF, LLP and the two paragraphs below.









J.M.J

Dear Friends,
1. The first action on the part of this blogger after receiving the letter from Fogler, Rubinoff LLP was to "take it to the Church." This means that your writer went directly to Rome -- to the Vatican on Tuesday, February 17, via email to a direct contact in the Secretariat of State. The request on my part was to intervene "quickly" and this request was not fulfilled. Instead, I was met with an interrogation of my "intentions" which could have been used against me. Later the suggestion was made to humbly accept it as a Lenten sacrifice on Ash Wednesday morning and "apologize" which would have been an admission of guilt for something that did not occur and would have resulted in the silencing and censoring of the blog and a refutation of my rights and duties under Canon 212 §3.
2. Our response to the original letter of Fogler Rubinoff LLP, suggested that Canon Law was the appropriate vehicle and should have been chosen for any perceived grievance.  
3. Our suggestion was not only rebuffed but resulted in new demands including what would have been complete censorship of me and this blog in certain areas meaning by extension, no commentary on the Synod this October and even no linking indirectly to certain commentary on the Synod.
4. Our response to that continued threat of litigation was to advise that we would no longer engage in a campaign of letters and lawfare resulting in a slow and painful bankruptcy. We advised that as of the close of business on March 3, 2015, we would begin to prepare a robust defense should it become necessary and a crowd-funding campaign to finance a rigorous defense.
My wife Francoise and I extend to all of you our gracious thanks for your prayers, your letters, emails tweets messages, phone calls, and your offers of financial support should it have become necessary. Believe me, this has been incredibly hard and painful for her over these last two weeks. We pray that we can humbly offer this up to God our Father united with the Cross of Jesus Christ for reparation and for conversion. 
Friends, we have much work to do for Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. It will not be long until the Synod is upon us. We must be vigilant in proclaiming the eternal truths of the Church and the upholding of doctrine on matters of marriage and the family and most especially, the Holy Eucharist.
All of us have a responsibility and a duty under God to stand for truth and proclaim it from the housetops. We have a duty to stand for Our Lord Jesus Christ, His Church and His Blessed Mother, and all that the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church has taught Magisterially from the beginning. We have our keyboards even if we are not bishops or liturgists and we have our rights and duties under Canon Law. We have God-given abilities and talents and we must use them and not bury them in the sand as we will surely be condemned for doing so. 

Our parents and our grandparents did not have the tools and knowledge that we do today. If they did, we can all presume with some certainty that the so-called "spirit of Vatican II" and the "hermeneutic of rupture" spoken of by our dear Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI would not have occurred or what have been confronted in a way to stamp it out or minimize it. I am reminded of what they would think if we fail them now with the words of John McCrae a Canadian military hero, physician, and poet; "To you from failing hands, we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high if ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep." 
May the Holy Family that model of perfection and love guide us and may St. Michael the Archangel protect us.
God bless you.
Francoise and David Domet

Raymond Cardinal Burke on suing Catholic Bloggers - "I certainly don't think that's the way we as Catholics should deal with these matters"

Adfero at the Rorate Caeli blog announced on Twitter on Saturday evening an exclusive interview with a Cardinal wherein reference would be made to lawsuits of bloggers.

The entire interview is reprinted below courtesy of Rorate Caeli blog with my emphasis in bold.

Vox.

EXCLUSIVE: CARDINAL BURKE INTERVIEW WITH RORATE CAELI

Follow @RorateCaeli on Twitter

Last week, Rorate Caeli interviewed Raymond Cardinal Burke via telephone on numerous topics. Nothing was off the table for this interview and His Eminence was incredibly generous with his time. He showed himself to be brilliant and yet filled with humility. And his care and concern for traditional Catholics must be acknowledged and appreciated.

In this wide-ranging interview, His Eminence talked about issues ripped from the news such as: Vatican officials threatening to sue bloggers; more priests coming under his authority; the dismantling of the Franciscans of the Immaculate; how traditional Catholics can save their souls in this modern world -- and get their children the sacraments in the traditional rite in the face of dissenting bishops; priestly celibacy; daily confusion from Pope Francis; and much, much more.

A Saturday update

Dear Friends, 

You are so good and I am so blest. I can say little at this time and I know that you understand that. Suffice to say this; we are still here and we have no intention of going away.

When people ignorant of the law and the truth, or those with no respect for either mock it and then mock you, remember what the oldest system of codified law in the world has to say:

From The Code of Canon Law Canon:
Can. 212 §3. According to the knowledge, competence, and prestige which they (i.e. the laity) possess, they have the right and even at times the duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful, without prejudice to the integrity of faith and morals, with reverence toward their pastors, and attentive to common advantage and the dignity of persons."
Say prayers this weekend for the situation please, that grace will abound and good sense will prevail; it shan't be long from here.

Thank you once again for all your prayers and messages; they are a tremendous boost to us ; and please pray for my wife who is also bearing this. It is not fair to her.

May our blessed Lord and His Mother protect us all and may St. Michael the Archangel battle for us!

God bless you.

You can turn the music player off above at the top left in order to hear the video below. Please pay Damo a visit and meet another brother in the battle for Christ and His Church!

What a wonderful Catholic world

Dear Friends,

I want to take this opportunity to express to the thousands of Catholic people around the world a thanksgiving from myself and my family for the outpouring of prayers, rosaries and Masses, sacrifices of personal illnesses offered up, emails, Tweets and comments. However, there is one in particular which was incredibly moving and prayerful. A few days ago, Mr. Gareth Thomas of Spain did a most wonderful thing. As a result of that gesture of fraternal charity, I received a letter which was overwhelming in its beauty and wisdom. Please let us remember that all is not lost and that there are many fatherly and faithful Shepherds in the Church and one of them is His Excellency Athanasius Schneider.

It has been one week since my last blog post whatever that was about, it seems so long that I can hardly remember. I've been itching to get back. First, I have no doubt that you all want to know what is happening with whatever it is that has kept me away from blogging. Let me say simply that "Patience is power" according to Venerable Fulton Sheen and "Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act for the right principles and in the right way."  

Rome seems to be in chaos, eh? We have the theft of the book by the five Cardinals for the Synod Fathers Remaining in the Truth of Christ (which was my Christmas present from Fox) to the admission by the much troubled Theodore McCarrick (you can search for the filth) a retired Cardinal from Washington. Seems that they just can't resist a video camera. Thank the LORD for the Internet. It seems that the octogenarian eminence was "lobbied" to vote for Jorge Bergoglio. "Talk him up!" he was told. 

Well that is lobbying and it is against Canon Law; but then, one would need to have respect for the law to obey it.  There are some pretty serious implications to this -- from the potential of excommunication to the calling into question the factors around the overall election of Pope Francis and its implications.

Life was getting too soft since I married Fox. I've been given a cross and it is heavy laden to be sure but it is not fair to her ; because of your prayers and Masses and the One whose "yoke is easy and his burthen is light" it is not too hard for us to carry.
