Geska Lima needs our help

If you have been on Twitter, you've probably come across this lady.

You will know that in the darkness of Twitter, Geska brings a little light and joy. Her prayers and little vignettes and natural settings are delightful and heart-warming. I have no doubt that you'll agree with me that Geska is a shining example of a Catholic lady and puts most of us to shame. I know that I could be more like her. We could and should all, be a little more like Geska. My wife and I don't know her well outside of Twitter, but we have met at St. Mary's Davenport Road in Toronto after various Masses and have had nice chats.

You will also know that Geska has been fighting a battle with cancer. At this point, I will sign-off and let Geska speak. As for the links, well, at posting, it is at $3075.00. Many of us have been able to continue to work during this Wuhan China Virus pandemic. We've saved money on gasoline and lunches out at work. We've not contributed to the collection plate. What if we took a little bit of that and sent it to Geska.

I bet we could break $10,000 before the end of Pentecost Sunday.

Benedict Ratzinger's journey. Sorry, I'm not going with him.

I had a conversation the other day with a friend and fellow blogger about Francis. One of our points of discussion is that a far as the Law is concerned, Francis Bergoglio is the Pope. He is the pope according to Canon Law, he is the pope because the priests of Rome accept him as bishop, as to the bishops and cardinals in the world and the faithful. We may not like it, he may be a heretic and an apostate and an evil man and while I may think it and believe it, it is of no consequence. None of us have authority to declare and remedy it.

We further agreed to agree that the real culprit in all of this is Joseph Ratzinger. We recalled discussions seven years ago that "he must have cancer," or, "he knows he has Alzheimer's and does not want to lead the Church in such a condition." Truly, did you not think there was something serious?

He did this to us. He ran away, he was and remains a coward. There was no "mystical" reason for his departure. He bailed out. If he was being hounded from within to leave he could have gone to the window at his Sunday Angelus and told us, we would have risen up. Italians loved him, they would have stormed the palace to save him. This is how a Catholic would act.

No, instead he left us and did not finish his job.

I'm not interested in this book, I'm past interest in anything Ratzinger writes or says. I loved him. Now, I am nothing but indifferent towards him. Reading this makes me even more indifferent.

We have truly been abandoned. It is this abandonment by our Shepherds, sorry, our Hirelings, that has led to the theories by Ann Barnhardt and Brother Alexis. Someone will be culpable for all of this, I have to believe that our merciful God will not lay the blame on those who question and come to conclusions that may be wrong because of the crimes of those who lead.
