The latest in the Church
Big news from LifeSite: Co-founder John-Henry Westen is out as CEO and Editor-in-Chief. The company’s corporate-sounding “explanation” for his removal has predictably been panned on social media. The guys at the Avoiding Babylon podcast think this is the end of the company. Others are encouraging Catholics to withhold their donations, and are comparing it to the ousting of James O’Keefe at Project Veritas. I’ll write about the ramifications of this later this week but for now it does seem the Trad media landscape has irrevocably changed and that only independent voices are willing to tell the truth about what is going on in the Church anymore.
I’ve gone ahead and re-published my initial analysis of “Pope” Leo that I released just days after the conclave. I correctly predicted that Trad media would fawn over his fancy vestments and use of Latin. Beware of these wolves in sheep’s clothing as they are sowing false hope with their naive (and misplaced) optimism.
Somewhere, Pachamama is smiling. Today, Robert Prevost will offer the first “Mass for the Care of Creation.” This pagan liturgy is yet another example of Prevost following in the footsteps of his predecessor.
Kissy Fernandez, who is still serving as the head of the Vatican’s doctrinal office, has confirmed that priests will be able to continue blessing homosexual couples. As they say: WE ARE SO BACK!
The latest in U.S. Politics
Is Trump implicated in the Epstein files? While speaking to the media in the Cabinet Room yesterday, he complained, “people are still talking about this guy?” This comes after the DOJ said Epstein, who was clearly a Mossad agent and who is likely not dead, didn’t have a client list. Nevermind that Trump told the media multiple times before the election the truth would come out on all this. Elon Musk previously said we won’t ever get the facts because Trump was one of Epstein’s clients. Maybe. Or perhaps AG Pam Bondi is covering up for the intel agencies and the Israeli government.
Speaking of Musk, he is creating the “America Party” to compete with the GOP and the Democrats. There is 0 percent chance this goes anywhere. Liberal billionaire Mark Cuban is also reportedly involved, which only makes things worse. The problem for Musk is that there is no political solution to the crisis we are in - it is primarily a spiritual battle. Fix the Church and you’ll fix the world. He’s wasting his money.
Zionist Evangelical Charlie Kirk sent out a Tweet saying, “the conservative movement needs to focus more time, energy, and focus on how Islam is rapidly taking over the west.” Has this guy ever heard of AIPAC? Kirk needs to be reminded that Muslims are not the ones indoctrinating American children with queer ideology or fleecing our country for billions in foreign aid every year. 🇮🇱
The latest in World Affairs
Trump announced that he will further betray his America First base and send yet more weapons to the pit of death known as Ukraine. He also blasted Vladimir Putin for not agreeing with his demands. Trump, who welcomed war criminal Netanyahu to the White House this week, needs to realize the West cannot win this war and that as Paul Craig Roberts has said: Putin gets to dictate the terms of the peace deal as he has won this conflict convincingly.
Tucker Carlson has interviewed the president of Iran. My friend Patrick Delaney has written about it. I highly suggest reading his piece and watching the interview. Carlson’s ability to access high-profile global figures has prompted Nick Fuentes to wonder if he’s a fed who has been tasked with diplomacy under the guise of being a counter-cultural journalist. It’s a fair question worth pondering.
“But Jesus answered and said, ‘I tell you, if these were silent, the stones will cry out!’” - Luke 19: 40
It is the end of Life-Site, which is now destined to become another irrelevancy like EWTN and National KofC Register, catering to geriatrics trapped in the Novus DisOrdo.
Yay Steve’s back. Right now I am reading “After the Boston Heresy Case” by Gary Potter. He wrote it in 1995 to understand Fr Feeney’s defense of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. Hopefully your reaction is not, “Oh a feeneyite. Wasn’t he excommunicated?” If that is your reaction please read “The Loyolas and the Cabots” and “Gate of Heaven” by Catherine Goddard Clarke both available on archive.org. Then read “After the Boston Heresy Case”. You will understand why the Catholic Church is in crisis and the role that the heresy of Americanism played in our current apostasy. I have learned of the true Catholic founding of America. And so much else and I’m just finishing chapter 2.
