“It’s exciting to be here, especially at this time, to be able to be unified with our community,” Pelosi  said  on Feb. 24. “We want to be vigilant about what is out there in other places. We want to be careful about how we deal with it, but we do want to say to people ‘Come to Chinatown, here we are — we're, again, careful, safe — and come join us.'”

ABS has always advocated that any time a judge releases a sexual criminal (not offender, criminal) that criminal must live with the judge and his family for a year before being released to resume his life of crime among the innocent. If the Judge has a child or two, so much the better. As for those who are for open borders, it would be satisfying to learn those opposed to open borders have arranged for an array of services (food, shelter, transportation) so that the invader from the south would be eventually placed in a tent on the property of that idiot politician with real border reporters/photographers prepared to document the attempts to clear the invaders off of the open borders political property, +++++++++++++++++++++++ The Netflix series, Occupied , is a dystopian fantasy about, specifically, Norway being occupied by Russia and all of the resulting calamitous chaos but it is also generally about the people of any nation whose liberties have been eroded/destroyed.

Sure hope Tiny Tony Fauci doesn't have ABS arrested

https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07058a.htm To return to our Apostle. St. Thomas had heard St. Mary Magdalene, and he despised her testimony; he had heard St. Peter, and he objected to his authority; he had heard the rest of his fellow-Apostles and the two disciples of Emmaus, and no, he would not give up his own opinion. How many there are among us who are like him in this! They never think of doubting what is told them by a truthful and disinterested witness, unless the subject touch upon the supernatural; and then they have a hundred difficulties. It is one of the sad consequences left in us by original sin. Like St. Thomas, they want to see the thing themselves: and that alone is enough to keep them from the fullness of the truth. St. Thomas saw the happiness of his brother-Apostles, but he considered it to be a weakness of mind, and was glad that he was free from it! How like this is to a modern rationalistic "Catholic!" He believes, but it is because his reason a

The Liturgical Year, Dom Gueranger: The Blessing of the Palms This Sunday, besides its liturgical and popular appellation of  Palm Sunday,  has had several other names. Thus, it was called  Hosanna Sunday,  in allusion to the acclamation wherewith the Jews greeted Jesus on his Entry into Jerusalem. Our forefathers used also to call it  Pascha Floridum,  because the Feast of the Pasch (or Easter), which is but eight days off, is today in bud, so to speak, and the Faithful could begin from this Sunday to fulfill the precept of Easter Communion. It was in allusion to this name that the Spaniards, having on the Palm Sunday of 1513, discovered the peninsula on the Gulf of Mexico, called it  Florida.

The Saint Vincent DePaul Seminary in the spiritually dead diocese of Palm Beach County, Florida.

What makes this advice so bizarre is that the daughter he is speaking about is the one who has the boyfriend and she is sitting at the dais with Crazy Cuomo and he says that he really does like her boyfriend after saying Fathers should lie to this daughters. So, is he lying when he says he really does like her boyfriend? Prolly, lying is what liberals do.

There was once a time in America when pop artists sang songs inspired by the Bible

[1]  King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura of the province of Babylon.  [2]  Then Nabuchodonosor the king sent to call together the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, the rulers, and governors, and all the chief men of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.  [3]  Then the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.  [4]  Then a herald cried with a strong voice: To you it is commanded, O nations, tribes, and languages:  [5]  That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the ps

Robert Duvall singing in the fantastic movie, Tender Mercies He is the favorite actor of ABS who met him in the stands at a Wellington horse jumping event This is a beautiful and painful song about the love he has for this woman and he confesses he has no more power to control her than he has the power to control nature  This is country, baby. It ain't Big and Rich, just stark and truthful. ABS is shocked that no producer ever thought to sign him to a contract to record some albums of country music. He has the attitude and aptitude to pitch his voice to such a sharp  point that it pierces your soul and the pure prose of country enters in.

According to the 1945, The New Roman Missal of Father Lasance, yes. See page 482 of The Good Friday Liturgy The same order is observed  in  the supplications that follow. Let us pray, also, for our most blessed Pope  N.,  that our Lord and God, Who hath chosen him in the order of the episcopacy, may preserve him safe and unharmed to His holy Church, to  rule   God's holy people. . Let us pray Y. Let us kneel If.  Arise. Almighty, eternal God, in  Whose judgment all things   are   founded, look propitiously upon our prayers and, of Thy loving kindness, preserve unto us our chosen bishop, that the  Christian people, who are governed by Thine authority, may, under so great a pontiff, be increased in the merits of their belief.  Yes, Francis is great

The true altar, that unified the Mass and Eucharist with the theological message of Bernini’s colossal bronze sculpture of the Chair of Peter was torn out years ago by Virgilio Card. Noè.  I was there that morning.  I saw them. https://tinyurl.com/v7op96o OK, well, what did you do, Fr. Z, to stop the  iconoclasm? ABS would have had to have been arrested and removed by the cops if anybody tried that in front of him? https://hallowedground.wordpress.com/2007/07/09/unto-the-altar-of-god/ Fr Kim Alexander: The High Altar in St Peter’s is the altar above the tomb of St Peter under the central baldacchino. The altar to which you refer was the ‘Altar of the Chair’ at the far end of the apse. This was indeed removed under Cardinal Virgilio Noe, a disciple of Bugnini and one time Arch-priest of St Peter’s. It was removed while I was a student in Rome, I think in either 1990 or 1991. It was removed furtively while the Pope was away on his summer holidays. The reason Noe gav

The Last Supper/First Mass had only men in attendance - The Apostles. What happened in that upper room was not a seder  although it has been popularly described as such. http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/13376-seder Seder, is nowhere to be found in the Gospels. Rather, renowned Jewish Scholars, like, Baruch Bosker ("Origins of the Seder") observe that the Seder (Order) traditions (according to Rabbinical literature) bring us only back as far as 70 A.D. the time after the destruction of Jerusalem and there is no evidence in Rabbinical literature of a Seder prior to that. As for Christian Catholics, the idea The Last Super was a seder (Scott Hahn), well,  that claim runs afoul of Sacred Tradition as, to just cite a few sources, the exegesis complied about the Institution of the Eucharist in, Catena Aurea, teaches us; " But how is our Lord said to sit down, whereas the Jews eat the Passover standing? " But even more conclusive is this; "Coun

THE LITURGICAL YEAR BY THE VERY REV. DOM PROSPER GUÉRANGER, ABBOT OF SOLESMES PASCHAL TIME EASTER SUNDAY [Easter is the Anglo- Saxon word for April, and was derived, as Venerable Bede tells us, (in his book  De temporum ratione  c. 13,) from  Easter,  a goddess of our pagan ancestors. Others derive  Easter  from  Oest, Oost  the Saxon for rising, or the east: and hence,  Osteren,  the Resurrection. Tr. from Butler’s  Moveable Feasts. ] HAEC DIES QUAM FECIT DOMINUS; EXSULTEMUS ET LAETEMUR IN EA! THIS IS THE DAY WHICH THE LORD HATH MADE; LET US BE GLAD AND REJOICE THEREIN!   MORNING The night between Saturday and Sunday has well nigh run its course, and the day-dawn is appearing. The Mother of sorrows is waiting, in courageous hope and patience, for the blissful moment of her Jesus’ return. Magdalene and the other holy women have spent the night in watching, and are preparing to start for the sepulchre. In limbo, the Soul of our crucified Lord is about to give the
