Andy The Gabby Cabby @gabby_cabby REALITY CHECK Last night’s London fireworks weren’t just a celebration — they were messaging. England was quietly redefined. England was blurred into the “United Kingdom.” England is a country. The UK is a statutory political union — not a nation. When people don’t know the difference, power fills the gap. Identity is softened. Consent is manufactured. This wasn’t accidental. And it wasn’t harmless. Most people were never taught this. Watch the breakdown. Share if this made you stop and think.

"THE FAKE REFORM DESTROYING THE CHURCH!" LINK: youtube.com/watch?v=sue_hMQPzH0 LIFESITE Professor William A. Thomas delivers a sobering analysis of the moral and spiritual unraveling of the West, tracing its roots to humanity’s rebellion against God and the Church’s retreat from truth. He critiques the rise of doctrinal ambiguity, the silence on sin and hell, and the emotionalism driving today’s “synodal” experiments. Thomas warns that modernism, relativism, and Marxist ideologies are being repackaged as reform, while in reality they are eroding catechesis, doctrine, and Catholic identity. He urges a return to the clarity of apostolic teaching, devotion to Our Lady of Fatima, and the sacred liturgy.
As the Archdiocese of Dubuque finalizes its "Journey in Faith" plan, Catholics in northeast Iowa are grappling with parish consolidations, fewer weekend Mass sites, and a shift toward evangelism amid priest shortages and declining attendance.
Pretty simple solution - Have Vespers Saturday night, and one Holy Mass on Sunday from 10:00am - 12:00 noon. Then have a pot luck lunch ( Like the Orthodox )
Cut the crap... the real problem is not enough priests - even with church attendance in single digits. Reduce Mass locations? That just means you "hope" people will care enough to travel to get to a N.O. Mass far from their locale so it will "look" full. But the decline is still happening! There is NO increase!!
