The USCCB Synod Synthesis is a product of Game Theory, McKinsey and Co Communications, and a lot of Filtered Messaging designed to stuff you, faithful Catholic, into meaninglessness.

Let’s sit down and chat about this mess today, and how we’ve come to the end of the modernist climb and marxist normalization of the Church. The “listening church” of synodality appears to be nothing more than an enactment of Richard McBrien’s Catholicism. How the shock cycle of media today seems to feed the balkanization of…

Pope Francis said that we Traditional Catholics should not make a battlefield of the liturgy.  Because he complains of Catholics hanging on to outdated things and old ideas, it is like he is saying that people who want a united and sacred liturgy (traditionalists or trads) disrupt the purpose of liturgy...  who are the real combatants?  why is this deja vu?  and what did Father Hardon say we can do about it?

Nicodemus supported Jesus, but had to hide lest the compromised clergy then make him disappear. Just as Fatima secret said of today - two popes?

Was Friday's consecration what Our Lady Asks of us today? The 2d secret of Fatima, history, and Akita, imply that we are not doing what she wants...

Cincinnati’s past ignoring heterodoxy and heresy - allowing error to fester - have caught up to it as Archbishop Schnurr rolls out a PR consultant led “Beacons of Light” crisis communications program designed to steer public opinion, but there is a much better (and far cheaper) way he could be fixing the problem instead of papering it over.

Continuing the discussion on informed consent, Catholic morality, and medical "mandates" in the midst of media mayhem sowing fear and misinformation.

Part 2 of the discussion on Catholic moral teaching on medical treatments, your strict duty to avoid harmful/deadly activity, and Title VII protections of your religious beliefs.  How to express your religious exemption.

Can a Bishop Mandate you to undergo a health procedure that has a risk of death, and against what you'd decide for yourself? Why are bishops playing doctor anyway?

Learn about what Mary's Assumption can tell you about your own assumption some day, the need to do penance and keep your body as God wants, following her example.  It can even influence your thinking about COVID and whether anyone should be "Forced" to charity,

Cardinal Cupich padlocked a Latin Mass church in 2002, calling it “unity.” In 2021, Traditionis Custodes echoes the same term. Coincidence? Join John B. Manos on The Bellarmine Forum Podcast to uncover this chilling pattern and question what “unity” means for the Traditional Latin Mass. Listen now!

News about the Motu Proprio issued by Pope Francis and how it was important to vanquish this greatest threat to the Church today! (tongue in cheek interviews included)

At this last USCCB meeting, the Spring 2021 meeting, setting the agenda resulted in a parliamentary question when a retired Bishop wished to add something to the agenda.  The parliamentarian is Archbishop Schnurr, the Archbishop of Cincinnati. It was the spring meeting of the NCCB/USCCB in 1977 where the agenda discussion resulted in a parliamentary…

You will be surprised at this one thing that happened at the USCCB meeting — and we have Archbishop Sample to thank for it. Is this what Bishops are supposed to be doing? Naturally, there was something dumb done right after Archbishop Sample spoke — now some bishops want “They/them” inclusive language in sacramental texts.…

On June 13, at Fatima, in 1917, Our Lady spoke to the children and introduced the Fatima Prayer said after each mystery of the Rosary. She also told Sr. Lucy that she would spread devotion to her Immaculate Heart (yesterday’s feast on the new calendar). We take a stroll through history to see that Moscow…
