I was speaking recently with a friend of mine about the Catholic Church and its issues. My friend is a patriot, not just with his words but also with his actions.
He is involved in our fight on the local level. He is a natural leader.
He is a baptized Catholic but like many he claims to believe Christ is Lord, but does not attend Mass. He is one of numerous people I have encountered over the years who are in this boat and often site the pedophilia scandals as the reason for his absence.
I don’t quite buy it. This is not me looking the other way on that pedo garbage. I hate that those sodomites have put me on the defensive for my Church. How dare they?
My question that only those of you who use this as a reason for not attending Mass know is whether this is truly the reason or if this issue is being used as the reason to not stick to the discipline that comes with the Catholic faith.
Only he and the dozens of others I have discussed this with can truly answer. If it is the pedo priests, how many of those types have you actually come across? BTW-the younger the priest today, the less chance he is of that nature.
Most entering the seminaries now are far more traditional than the homosexuals Saul Alinsky and the communists recruited from the 1960s to the 1980s or 1990s.
Did you know that a child is not less likely to be molested by a teacher than a priest? Is anyone boycotting school?
I have heard about an Olympic gymnastics coach molesting children. Sugar Ray Leonard is an all-time great fighter. He reported being molested by a trainer. Jerry Sandusky is every bit the villain with young boys at Summer football camps as say Cardinal McCarrick and his nonsense.
Anyone going keep Junior out of youth sports?
My buddy and I talk a lot of politics. Who should be the 2024 nominee? What are they going to do about voter fraud? My answer always reverts back to the same candidate: Jesus Christ.
No, the Lord is not running for Office. He doesn’t have to. He is already King. However, I have come to realize that no human candidate, especially in today’s rotten society can be deified.
We must pray for Christ, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary to give us a miracle and heal our nation. How can we expect such a miracle if we ignore the Father’s Commandment to keep holy the Sabath?
Let’s say scandalous priests are truly the reason for the majority of Catholics not attending Mass. Are you going to continue letting these sick people drive you out of Christ’s banquet and the power of the Sacraments?
That’s an awful lot of power to give anyone, let alone some disgusting sodomites.
I ain’t stepping aside for them. Talk soon.

PS: With Stuper Bowl Sunday coming, here is a good litmus test for your local parish as to whether they are true warriors for the faith or lukewarm relativists. Not every parish has a Sunday Night Mass, but if yours does and they cancel Mass for sportsball and all the filth that is sold during the network’s presentation, they are not giving us what we need at this point. If Sunday Night Mass is part of the schedule, it should be celebrated even if the priest is the only one in the Church.
