I used to wonder how seemingly decent people could look the other way while the Nazis murdered millions of innocent people. But what is happening in this country makes me wonder no more.

This Phillips clown is all tom tom and no ponies.
I see you still have a statement condemning the victims who were verbally assaulted by a group of African Americans and physically assaulted by a long time activist up on your website. It is unwise to spread the same falsehood which the media promulgated on Saturday. Thanks to which your children, whom you are supposed to protect, are now subject to death threats from Hollywood and the Twitterverse. It is well past time that you remove your untrue and offensive statement and apologize to the students. A real Shepherd would meet with them in person and talk about the situation and the dangers of bearing false witness against thy neighbor. As of now, the students seem to be the only adults in the diocese.
This may be the ultimate Rorschach test for America. Half see a sneering, belittling little prick, and the other half see a brave, confident and steadfast... I’m talking about the aboriginal American of course.
To be precise,
a WHITE CONSERVATIVE teenage boy.
One time I did not smile and I reacted to the taunt. She cursed me and I reacted in kind using a similar word. By the time I got home that night I was seething mad at everything and everybody and that is not my nature. I had to walk things back and I finally figured out that something demonic came home with me. It took me a couple of weeks to wrangle that thing out of me with prayer, fasting and consulting a priest.
So, when facing evil the only thing you can do is smile.
There is no lower form of scum than a Democrat.
Bishops are not our elected representatives. Unless you are a Catholic in good standing, registered in a parish of the diocese, you have no business commanding the attention of the bishop or his staff. Your letters and sentiments will likely be ignored as irrelevant, which in this case they are.
It’s very hard to have any optimism about the future in light of this stuff. Happens too often. Innocent people are selected for termination and are tagged as racist. Then their lives are ruined.
I am a Catholic in good standing, ask my pastor and I have every right to point out poor behavior by any diocese in the known universe.
To be openly conservative in public these days is to be a target. If you are not attacked directly you may be subjected to verbal or physical provocations designed to get you to react inapproriately so as to make YOU the aggressor. It may cost you your job, reputation, privacy, assets or
freedom. Remember that in any of these interactions the default assumption is that you are quilty.
Saw something very like this in the matter of the wrestler disqualified for his massive dreadlocks by the ref. The next day the ref was a “disgusting pig” according to a league official.

This is our equivalent of “the talk” black parents feel compelled to deliver to their children.
I was 8 years old in 1951. My parents had “the talk” with me:
“Remember, when you are out in public and do anything at all, people will not say ‘That little girl with the dark hair did something. They will say ‘That Jewish girl did it.’ Everything you say or do reflects upon all Jews.”
I grew up with people who escaped the Warsaw ghetto. I was 3 months old when my father went to war and 3 years old when he returned. My best friend’s father was killed in that war and the only thing her granny ever said to me, more than once, was “When are you going to go live in Israel?”
I had an obsession with the camps when I was about 14 (1957). Today, I believe it was a form of PTSD by proxy. I experienced a fair amount of prejudice and hate in the 1950s in central Illinois. In high school, we Jewish kids had our own place in morning study hall. We called it The Gaza Strip because we were surrounded on three sides by enemies.
These times will leave a lasting mark on the young, white conservative children in America. They will lose/have lost a form of American innocence by being the objects of hate and libel.This will likely push some of them to excel even beyond the level they reach today. Others will *assimilate* by becoming SJWs and wokescolds. Some will just give up and become a future type of hippie. It is a form of death and rebirth for them all.
My heart just weeps.
No, you do not have that prerogative as a “right” outside your home diocese in normal circumstances. However you do have the right to persist in your ignorance and thus make a fool of yourself. Catholics do so all the time, thus adding to the chaos.
BTTT, FRiend.
*Bump*
Nailed it.

I used to wonder that too. I now have a better idea how things ‘went down’ in Germany in the 1930’s time frame.
Mine is going out hard copy tomorrow along with one to Archbishop Kurtz.
This has been the straw. I managed to keep it together through the stonewalling sexual assault crisis, but having them jump on this kid before the facts were known just telegraphed the fact that the bishops are in league with the left. To curry favor, to play for popularity and find their social milieu with the elite seems to be more important than leading the flocks.
