In a heated exchange with Gestapo chief Merrick Garland at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) directly challenged Garland’s viciously corrupt and politicized “Justice” Department, and zeroed in on the once-respected agency’s targeting of traditionalist Roman Catholics. While Garland maintained, in the teeth of the available evidence, that the department is not actually targeting Catholics, he claimed not to know how many spies and informants the feds have in those hotbeds of terrorism, traditional Catholic parishes.
In other words, he didn’t say they didn’t have any such spies and informants. So if you’re Catholic, be watchful: the guy in the pew behind you could be taking notes.
Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) takes AG Merrick Garland to task on targeting Catholics

Hawley began by asking Garland: “The FBI field office in Richmond, on the 23rd of January of this year, issued a memorandum in which they advocated for, and I quote, ‘the exploration of new avenues for trip-wire and source development against Traditionalist Catholics’ — it’s their, their language — ‘including those who favor the Latin Mass.’ Attorney General, are you cultivating sources and spies in Latin Mass parishes and other Catholic parishes around the country?”
Garland appeared to be rattled, but his response was unequivocal: he was on Hawley’s side, doncha know. “No,” said the ferociously partisan attorney general, “the Justice Department does not do that and does not, uh, um, do investigations based on religion.

“the Justice Department does not do .... investigations based on religion.”
So now we know for sure that that’s exactly what they are doing.
Will Amazon report anyone who buys a Latin language book?
Saint Vincent DePaul stores have all the old Missals and other Catholic Latin/Mass books you want at a very good price.
Revelation 3:9
Classic case of:
Not to worry, as Mary will protect them.
(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan de la Roche)
1 | Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall receive powerful graces. |
2. | I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. |
3. | The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies |
4. | It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of people from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means. |
5. | The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish. |
6. | Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying Himself to the consideration of its Sacred Mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise Him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life. |
7. | Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church. |
8. | Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the Saints in Paradise. |
9. | I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary. |
10. | The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven. |
11. | You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary. |
12. | All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. |
13. | I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestial court during their life and at the hour of death |
14. | All who recite the Rosary are my children, and brothers and sisters of my only Son, Jesus Christ. |
15. | Devotion of my Rosary is a great sign of predestination. |
"The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem,
no matter how difficult it is, wheter temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families...that cannot be solved by the Rosary.
There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."

USA has an idiot Catholic as President.

Apparently you haven’t had time in your busy schedule to read the Bible or anything pertaining to Gospel Teachings, please find the time, it could let you in the Holy Gates of Heaven.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves” Matthew 7:15
This is why God gave us the right to carry a gun in church.
The fact is that Biden is indeed a fake Catholic, a walking scandal, in being the strongest pro-abortion president we’ve had, whilst playing up his nominal membership in the Church. We are not judging him as being condemned; we are speaking the truth and praying for his conversion.
I remember reading in Victor Sheymov’s book Tower of Secrets that the KGB took those who graduated at the bottom of their classes and sent them off to become priests in the Russian Orthodox Church.
I bet that they are using Catholic priests as informants.
Why would the Latin mass be targeted?
I am at a UM church now after escaping a dysfunctional Assembly of God and other evangelical churches... and the marriage to the wacko that wanted a nice trained lapdog to pay her bills.
I kind of like singing some of the old timey hymms in the choir. Seems a lot more reverent than electric guitars, the 300 lb single daughter of the senior pastor leading worship, and commands from the pulpit about who to vote for.
Interesting take on the Samaritan woman at well too. I had always heard “prostitute”. Jesus never used the words customers or clients — he said ‘husbands’. Not 100% honorable, certainly, but this lady still had a decent enough rep to get her town to come out and see the Rabbi.
I'll never forget the day I learned that a portion of my donations to my UM church went to abortion lobbyists.
Who knew that the leaders of the general conference thought that people donate to church to make it harder to save babies from partial birth abortion (what was going on at the time I learned about it)? Literally thousands of babies per year are having their arms and legs held still by an "assistant" to keep the "clump of cells" from interfering with the "doctor" while the "doctor" inserts a sharp pointed suction tube into the "clump of cells" skull and literally sucks the brains out, all while claiming "it" didn't feel any pain. I didn't know that was going on until Bush pushed to ban partial birth abortion. I hoped I could join the fight. Turns out I was helping in the fight --- helping the side of hedonists -- with my donations to my church. It turns out my UM donations were in virtually every abortion battle you can think of for decades, from whether or not welfare money paid for abortions, to state laws about parent notification, to VA benefits paying for abortions, etc. And that's just abortion, they were doing the same thing lobbying for other forms of hedonism to be forced onto Christians.
But no worries. The music leader at the UM church was within your weight tolerance. I guess that's all that matters. As far as guitars go, I guess it's a good thing you weren't there on the Sundays it was my turn to lead children's church. LOL There is nothing God does that's halfway. He's all in. Thus, the music about Him shouldn't express Him in moderation. LOL
You were forced to get an abortion? Honey, that just isn't right...
Always fun to have these discussions with folks that are certain grace is something that is only God's business and not for them, but judgment and vengeance!?!?! Oh yeah, those things are certainly not over our sanctified pay grade! Be blessed brother.
Yours and my donations to the UM church made it harder for good people like the Green family to use the money God blessed them with only for holy charity and living.
Money talks. When the UM leaders force Christians to financially support hedonism that's an excellent example of hedonist leaders forcing it onto Christians. The same with UM money lobbying against Jack Phillips trying to stay out of supporting gay marriage and now trans insanity. The same with UM money lobbying against the Sisters of the Poor trying not to support hedonism.
UM leaders have for decades been trying to force Christians to financially bow to Moloch. I'm so glad my old local church decided to break away from the UM and join the GM.
Much more fragmented in terms of structure and organization.
Catholics who favor Tradition in general, whether they attend the Mass according to the Roman Rite in Latin according to the 1962 Missal or Roman Rite without Latin according to the 1970 Missal generally have larger families, very traditional on marriage and family, more likely to to question the gender ideology that has been pushed at Schools. I suspect some of those parents at those school board meetings in Virginia and other states questioning the whole gender/transgender movement being pushed on elementary kids were from Traditional Catholic parishes.
I think all of the issues from the DOJ targeting parents who came to the school boards to protest the transgender ideology advocates is correlated with the Traditionalist Catholic Parishes, etc. Just my hunch.
That makes sense.
