This is what passes as "evangelization" in the morally bankrupt "Catholic" Church in the United States

As noted here, Gio Benitez, an openly homosexual news anchor known for his work on Good Morning America, World News Tonight and 20/20, has joined the Catholic Church and reaffirmed his "faith" - Whatever that's supposed to mean. The ABC personality stood with his "husband" Tommy DiDario, who also served as his sponsor.
In an essay on the meaning of evangelization, Father Vincent Miceli, S.J. wrote, "Being the work of God and man in cooperation, it must ever be a thrilling and awesome adventure. We can say, however, that this sanctifying activity proclaims Christ to those who do not know Him, preaches the Gospel to them through catechesis and missionary sermons, confers Baptism and other sacraments and tirelessly exhorts converts to scale the heights of sanctity. Jesus Christ, Himself, the Good News of God, was the very first and greatest evangelizer. He proclaimed an absolute Kingdom of God, making everything else relative. He proclaimed salvation, namely

'Confirmed' into what, precisely? While we cannot judge the souls of one another, that it has been staged as a 'public event' (with the ever 'publicity addicted' James Martin in attendance) rather than a private and personal one speaks volumes about what it was actually about.

Orthocat

It's blindly obvious for "those who have eyes to see" that a so-called 'church' that confirms people like this is NOT the True Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ and built on apostolic teaching!

Ecclesiastical Masonry must prevent a Fifth Marian Dogma

In a previous post, I noted that, "There are graces which Our Lady wants to give us but will not be able to until the Church infallibly defines her as Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate."
Dr. Mark Miravalle asks, "What do St. Padre Pio, St. Francis Xavier Cabrini, St. Gemma Galgani, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Leopold Mandic, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, St. Jose Maria Escrivà, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Servant of God, John Paul II, and Sr. Lucia of Fatima all have in common (beyond their eminent sanctity as witnessed by the twentieth century)? They all repeatedly invoked Our Lady as the “Co-redemptrix” and taught the doctrine of Marian coredemption concerning Mary’s unparalleled role with and under Jesus Christ in the Redemption of the human family." See here.
Ecclesiastical Masonry must do everything in its power to prevent a Fifth and final Marian Dogma. This because such an act would flood the Church and the world with graces which would overcome its evil. And preparation …

The Cult of Softness

As this article explains:
"In the past few hours, Agenzia Fides has published the document “Statistics of the Catholic Church 2025.” Once again, the numbers reveal a bleak picture: vocations continue to decline. Yet there is an unspoken truth that no statistic dares to confront: the problem does not lie with young people, but with the places where vocations should be born and grow.
An archbishop who has dedicated decades to vocational accompaniment, visiting seminaries, listening to formatorsand priests around the world, confirms this. These days — he tells us — he is engaged in a series of visits to various seminaries in Rome and across Europe. His analysis is clear and unsettling: “The crisis of vocations does not arise from the absence of young people willing to give themselves, but from the toxic atmosphere dominating the very places where vocation should mature.”
Seminaries — at least in many cases — are no longer places of discernment, but of selection. And today’s selection …

Diocese of Charlotte in opposition to Vatican II and Canon Law

Diocese of Charlotte in opposition to Vatican II and Canon Law

As noted
here:
"The Diocese of Charlotte – headed by Bishop Michael Martin,
The lawsuit by parents of the expelled children, Doug and Nicole Turpin, Turpin v. Charlotte Latin School, now before the North Carolina Supreme Court, “asks whether a private school can invite open dialogue and then expel students in retaliation for their parents’ protected speech.”
____________________________________________
My commentary
This decision represents an act of violence against the child's right to live his or her own sexuality in conformity with Christian principles: "Since each child or young person must be able to live his or her own sexuality in conformity with Christian principles, and hence be able to exercise the virtue of chastity, no educator — not even parents — can interfere with this right to chastity (cf. Matthew 18: 4-7)." ( Pontifical Council for the Family, The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality, No. 118).
The decision of the Diocese of Charlotte also represents an attack on …

The notion that there is such a thing as a life not worthy to be lived

The notion that there is such a thing as a life not worthy to be lived

As reported
here:
"In a recent video, Kelsi Sheren, a Canadian combat veteran, host of The Kelsi Sheren Perspective, and an outspoken opponent of Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) policies, shared how Canada’s government-controlled healthcare system plans to euthanize an estimated 15 million Canadians between 2027 and 2047, a staggering figure justified under the pretext of cost savings.
While doctor-assisted suicide in the U.S. has not yet reached the alarming extremes observed in Canada, the 'death with dignity' movement is actively attempting to change that. Pending Governor Hochul’s signature on New York’s recently passed bill, 11 states and Washington, D.C., will permit this abhorrent and immoral practice.
Fortunately, dedicated coalitions – including the disability rights community, pro-life organizations, leaders within the Catholic Church, and other advocates – have helped slow its expansion.
Since Oregon first legalized assisted suicide in 1997, nearly 10,000 deaths …

Same sex "marriage" and sanity

Same sex "marriage" and sanity

As noted
here:
"A legal fight in Kentucky that erupted when same-sex marriage activists demanded a Christian clerk violate state law and grant them a "marriage" license just hours after the Supreme Court created that status in America, now has returned to the Supreme Court.
The case is asking the justices to reverse their decision from 10 years ago, and it uses the same arguments used several years back to successfully overturn Roe v. Wade, that longstanding, and error-loaded, ruling from 1973 that created an abortion right.
The Syracuse Law Review has explained that the arguments used to overturn Roe also could be used against 'same-sex marriage.'
__________________________________________
When the European Parliament passed a special resolution encouraging the nations of Europe to approve homosexual "marriage," Pope John Paul II responded in protest: "What is not morally acceptable, however, is the legalization of homosexual acts. To show understanding towards the person who sins, …

Archdiocese of Detroit: Parishes Must Cease Traditional Latin Mass Celebrations by July 1

Archdiocese of Detroit: Parishes Must Cease Traditional Latin Mass Celebrations by July 1
A prominent Detroit shrine will still be able to offer the TLM, however, and Archbishop Edward Weisenburger said he intends to identify at least four non-parish locations in the archdiocese where the TLM can be celebrated.
Archbishop Edward Weisenburger of Detroit announced Wednesday that parish churches in the archdiocese that offer the traditional Latin Mass (TLM) will be unable to do so after July 1, citing the Vatican’s 2023
clarification that diocesan bishops do not possess the authority to allow the TLM to be celebrated in an existing parish church.
A prominent Detroit shrine will still be able to offer the TLM, however, and Archbishop Weisenburger said he intends to identify at least four non-parish locations in the archdiocese where the TLM can be celebrated.
In an April 16 announcement, the archdiocese said Archbishop Weisenburger, who was appointed in February and newly installed as …

Bishop Michael Martin advances a liturgy which is sick at the core

As noted here, Charlotte Bishop Michael Martin has asserted that, “To instruct the faithful that kneeling [while receiving Holy Communion] is more reverent than standing is simply absurd."
I've said this many times before, masonic forces seek to subvert the Church from within and to create a 'new church' created in the image and likeness of man. The new humanitarian religion will result from a quiet revolution within the Church. This new religion will be anti-supernatural. And it will embrace the Socialistic New World Order and the Reign of Antichrist. This is the false church Venerable Anne Catherine Emmerich saw in her visions.
In this false church within the True Church, the cancer within the Mystical Body of Christ, there is a loss of the sense of the sacred. Which is why Fr. Miceli wrote that, "Much of the new liturgy has been drained of the numinous and the sacred. The new forms are without splendor, flattened, undifferentiated. Why was kneeling replaced by standing? Jesus himself …

FemChurch hates orthodoxy and masculinity

Crisis Magazine on the radical feminist attack on orthodoxy and masculinity here.
Today’s radical feminism was born from Marxism. And its disciples believe that, in order to establish a Marxist society, men need to be marginalized." - Sharon Ambrose, from her essay entitled "Man Down."
And the marginalization of men continues unabated throughout our sin-sick culture. And this includes the Church.
Only effeminate, emasculated "men" are deemed acceptable in the New Church. Men who have a backbone or who act like men are deemed a threat by radical feminists who demand absolute control of a church made in their image and likeness.
While on a retreat several years ago, a Religious Sister (a Presentation Sister) told me that she hates men. Presumably this would include Jesus and His Apostles as well as Saint Joseph and every single Pope and male saint since the Church's founding.
Imagine if a priest gave a homily and proclaimed that he hated women. How would such a statement be received?

Exorcist: Raise the alarm

We read here: "I am aware of more and more events in society that are causing me to alarm. Most recently this month, the Satanic Temple (TST) announced it is opening another abortion clinic. This is not its first. It encourages the women to engage in its Satanic abortion ritual which concludes: "By my body, my blood; by my will, it is done." This ritual will certainly yoke these people to Satan.
In one of our cases of possession (see Exorcist Diary #275), the young woman had had an abortion and Satan taunted her mercilessly. At one point, the demons texted the Team: "She would have been a wonderful mother but she killed her own baby." And then, addressing the woman directly, they texted: "Don't forget to sing your lullaby; your dead baby is burning down here with me." As part of their tormenting, the demons made her experience the abortion procedure all over again and then hold her dead baby. Yes, Satan is a huge proponent of abortion, as the Satanic Temple unwittingly gives witness. …

Charlotte bishop invites popular heterodox influencer Fr. Casey Cole to ‘evangelize’ diocese - LifeSite

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (LifeSiteNews) — The bishop of Charlotte, who recently severely suppressed the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), invited a popular heterodox influencer priest to “evangelize” his diocese.
Just before Bishop Michael Martin’s crackdown on the TLM, shared that Father Casey Cole, OFM, along with two fellow Franciscans, would be moving to Charlotte to evangelize young adults “outside traditional Church settings.”
Cole, who has amassed a large social media following over the course of his decade-long online teaching ministry, is frequently praised by Catholics and non-Catholics alike for his skillful apologetics and has even been credited by a number of people for their conversion to Catholicism.
However, Cole has also drawn criticism from orthodox Catholics like apologist Trent Horn and author Kennedy Hall for at times portraying the faith in a misleading or confusing way, even giving the impression that certain moral teachings are not clear cut and often contradicting …

For this summer, Bishop Martin announced that three Franciscan friars will traverse Charlotte, showing up at concerts, breweries, sporting events and more – offering a visible and approachable Catholic presence. The three priests are Casey Cole, Roberto Serrano and Jason Damon. Cole claimed that Scripture doesn’t make “any definitive statement about homosexuality”: “According to the prophet Ezekiel, the reason Sodom was destroyed had nothing to do with sexual misconduct or faith but everything to do with greed and injustice.” Previously, Cole has admitted that he “almost never” prays the rosary

Sally Dorman shares this

In March, Fr Cole downplayed confession: “Is it necessary to confess your sins to a priest? Technically, no. But you still probably should.” His special weakness is to morally undermining homosexuality. In his video "What the Bible actually says about homosexuality," he argues that while the Scriptures clearly identify homosexual acts as sinful (e.g., Leviticus, Romans), the Bible does not explicitly address loving, committed, same-sex partnerships as we understand them today. He preaches in different online videos that a homosexual orientation is not sinful but he adds that one should accompany homosexuals in committed relationships (mortal sin).

Violent far-left insurrection in Los Angeles

Make no mistake about it, what's happening in Los Angeles is a far-left insurrection. See here.
I have written before that Revolution is coming. But it will only come when the social order has been sufficiently destabilized, and then, the opportunity for a new political order is possible.
That destabilization is the goal of the radical left. Far from a speculation, several popes have been warning for decades that such a revolution has been the intention all along of secret societies working parallel to governments...Leftists know that with the collapse of the United States, the door will be open for a new super-power—or super-world government—to assert a mode of governance that does not place the intrinsic freedom and dignity of the human person at its center, but instead profitability, efficiency, ecology, the environment, and technology as its primary goal."
Make no mistake about it, these people hate America. They hate what she stands for. These socialists are waiting for the most …

Torrents of iniquity

Our own time is a fulfillment of the prophecy issued by St. Louis de Montfort in his Prayer for Missionaries: "Tempus faciendi, Domine, dissipaverunt legem tuam: it is time to act, O Lord, they have rejected your law. It is indeed time to fulfill your promise. Your divine commandments are broken, your Gospel is thrown aside, torrents of iniquity flood the whole earth carrying away even your servants. The whole land is desolate, ungodliness reigns supreme, your sanctuary is desecrated and the abomination of desolation has even contaminated the holy place.." (PM, 5)
