"When Job lost all his wealth, when he lost his sons, everything seemed to militate against him, but since he loved the Lord, the evils that befell him worked together for his good. The vermin of his body were preparing for him the crown of heaven.
Before the time he was tempted, God had never spoken to him. After he had been tempted, however, God comes to him and speaks familiarly with him, as a friend with his friend.
Let calamity strike, let every kind of disaster fall, as long as after the catastrophe, Christ comes.”
St. Jerome, Homily 6 on the Psalms

As we reach 2000 followers, it's only fitting that I ban a militant Zionist scumbag to get it back to 1999. Thanks everyone for your support and I hope you enjoy my pro-catholic content (which is and will always be anti-jewish, anti-muslim, anti-pagan, and anti-freemason). God bless you all, the real God, in His most Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

"...as the Church of God always has said, “Redeem thy sins with alms, and thy iniquities with mercies to the poor.” (2 Cor. 9) But their Heresy will not suffer them to speak after the Catholic manner, that alms and merciful deeds are a redemption, ransom, and satisfaction for sins.
And what a miserable humor is it in these cases, to fly as far as they can from the ancient received speech of Holy Scripture, that has so many years sounded in all faithful ears, and to invent new terms and phrases, when the original text both Greek and Hebrew favours the one as much, or more, than the other.
As, that they choose to say in the Epistle to Titus (where the Apostle exceedingly exhorts to good works), “maintain good works”, and “show forth good works”, rather than according to the ancient Latin translation, bonis operibus praeesse (πρίσταθαι καλῶν ἔργων), “to be chief and principal in doing good works”, which is the very true and usual signification of the Greek word, and implies a virtuous emulation among good men, who shall do most good works or excel in that kind. But they that look to be saved by faith alone, no marvel if neither their doings nor translation tend to any such excellency."
- Gregory Martin, speaking on the perverse modifications of the Bible by Protestants.

A handful of Jews get killed in Bondi, Australia, and immediately we have outpourings of support, international grief and of course, calls to change both speech laws and firearms legislation. Hundreds of thousands of White women and girls are attacked, sexually abused, raped and murdered by migrants all over the Western world and the reasonable suggestion that we end immigration is met with cries of 'racist' and completely shot down as politicians reaffirm their commitment to open borders. If the influencers that you follow haven't woken up to who wields disproportionate power in the West, maybe it's because they have been on an all expenses paid trip to Israel.

"Particularly when I am worn out by the upsets of the world, I cast myself without reservation on the love of those who are especially close to me. I know that I can safely entrust my thoughts and considerations to those who are aflame with Christian love and have become faithful friends to me. For I am entrusting them not to another human, but to God in Whom they dwell and by Whom they are who they are."

"It is obvious that if many bishops had acted like Msgr. de Castro Mayer, Bishop of Campos in Brazil, the ideological revolution within the Church could have been limited, because we must not be afraid to affirm that the current Roman authorities, since John XXIII and Paul VI, have made themselves active collaborators of international Jewish Freemasonry and of world socialism. John Paul II is above all a communist-loving politician at the service of a world communism retaining a hint of religion. He openly attacks all of the anti-communist governments and does not bring, by his travels, any Catholic revival."

"It (Vatican 2) was intended that Catholics and Protestants draw closer together, but it is evident that Catholics have become Protestants, rather than the reverse. The New Mass itself was a Protestant conception and leads to Protestantism, and it is for that reason that we cannot conceive the possibility of using it in our seminaries."

Most Catholics today don't understand why a man would be a celibate non-priest. Here's one example from Catholic Church history: The Knights Templar or the Knights Hospitaller needed lay celibate brothers, not just priests, to defend the Christian faithful. This is because even back then, priests were not supposed to pick up weapons against enemies. Yet someone had to defend Christian faithful. Of course, this could be married men too, but then they left behind single Moms with numerous kids for years while they were on the Crusades. Thus, the old military orders rescuing Christians from Berbers really needed celibate brothers. This might read thus far as an antiquated post, but remember the world currently has more in captivity than any time in world history. So, if we ever get these military congregations going again (obviously impossible under the current hierarchy) I hope there are many generous young men willing to be celibate, even if it means going without Holy Orders.

Holy Communion
9. Saint Francis de Sales says that when we cannot go to Holy Communion without giving annoyance to others, or without failing against duties of charity, justice or order, we should be satisfied with spiritual Communion. "Believe me," he adds, "this mortification, this deprivation, will be extremely pleasing to God and will advance you greatly in His love. One must sometimes take a step backward in order to leap the better." It was not by frequent Communion that the holy anchorites sanctified themselves, but by the exact observance of the duties of their calling.

Saint Paul the Hermit received Holy Communion but twice during his long, penitential life, nevertheless he was precious in the sight of God. A propos of this subject Saint Francis de Sales gives us this admirable advice: "In proportion as you are hindered from doing the good you desire, do all the more ardently the good that you do not desire. You do not like to make such or such an act of resignation, you would prefer to make some other; but offer the one you do not like, for it will be of far greater value." Saint John the Baptist was more intimately united in spirit with our Lord than even the Apostles themselves: yet he never became one of His followers owing to the fact that his vocation required this sacrifice on his part and called him elsewhere. This is the greatest act of spiritual mortification recorded in the lives of the saints.
