I don't think so. Fernandez has even less charisma than Francis. It was a blessing that we got him instead of Martini. Same theology and politics, but he was smooth as silk. My personal tin-foil hat theory? Fernandez is going to be a fall guy. Either Francis or his successor will punish Fernandez for pushing the envelope while promising to moderate things, all the while allowing the modernist agenda to continue to creep. At least creep as compared to the current pace.

"Fernández’s recurring evisceration of traditional understandings of Hell provides an important context to Dignitas Infinita. If Hell is empty, the emphasis is no longer on preparing for eternity, especially by observing the Sixth and Ninth Commandments. The emphasis is, rather, on building what Evangelii Gaudium (also ghostwritten by Fernandez)"

This brought back such great memories for me. Enjoy this delightful word portrait of Michigan's latest snowfall from a long-time friend, Ann Russell-Lutenske: In light of the prognostications of 10” of snow, we treated ourselves to paying for snow removal. It should be noted that Paul normally does the lion’s share of the task, but it seemed like today’s snow would be particularly challenging. It’s our first time hiring it done, and it feels sort of fancy. But I’m surprised to find I’m more than a little disappointed, too. I do enjoy the feeling of being out in that insulated quilt of quiet; of being IN the weather. I have a love/hate relationship with the scrape of the shovel on pavement and the way it echoes through the neighborhood. It sounds just the same as it did when I was growing up on Clinton Street. Back then I had to clear the snow because Mom said so, but this is MY snow in MY yard and I do take some pride in that. Sometimes shoveling is darned hard work, but the aerobic …More

File: How foolish do they think we are? If there were a recognition of the need for God's mercy in their same-sex-situation, then the grace wouldn't be a "blessing" of the thing requiring God's mercy. There seems to have been a mentality for some time that this train is coming and it's unstoppable, just accept it. And on the other side, good people say, "Don't be confused. Don't join in the social media storm" etc.

A Guide to Plenary Indulgences for the All Souls' "Octave", November 1-8 Visiting a Cemetery: An indulgence, applicable only to the Souls in Purgatory, is granted to the faithful, who devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed. The indulgence is plenary each day from November 1-8; on other days of the year it is a partial indulgence. Visiting a Church on November 2: A plenary indulgence, applicable only to the souls in purgatory, is granted to the faithful who, on All Souls' Day (or, according to the judgment of the ordinary, on the Sunday preceding or following it, or on the solemnity of All Saints), devoutly visit a church or an oratory and recite an Our Father and the Creed. Praying for the Faithful Departed: A partial indulgence, applicable only to the souls in purgatory, is granted to the faithful who, devoutly visit a cemetery and at least mentally pray for the dead; devoutly recite lauds or vespers from the Office of the Dead or the prayer Eternal …More

I used to admire people who took on tiny home living, supposedly shedding themselves of things that don't matter, going without, growing their own food, etc. But it occurred to me that likely people don't last very long in these homes and most lack the vision and courage to provide for families in these settings. And then there's the connectivity. Do you notice the satellite dish on this adorable little cottage? The compact interior comes with a big screen t.v. There's nothing impressive about hanging out by yourself for a length of time that you choose and staring endlessly at your screens. What impresses me more is a vision to unplug. Let's start that movement! Let's take long breaks or reduce use of televisions, computers, cell phones, fit bits, all of it. Really, keep (almost) any other luxury you want, especially mixing with others. I'm willing to bet many people couldn't go with zero connectivity for more than a day or so. It's a sad reality. For the sake of ourselves, our children …More

Joan Bell has worked relentlessly to defend the unborn over several decades. Currently she is facing a decade in jail (a real possibility). The Biden administration, very much including VP Kamila Harris, is using every means at his disposal - and a few more not at his disposal - to cause them the greatest suffering possible. I don't think there is any doubt they will be going to jail. Who, in this hostile "post Roe" environment, will even attempt to get them out? Please pray for them to endure what is ahead.

A caller to The Patrick Madrid Show radio program today asked whether God knew children who would not be conceived because a couple was contracepting. Through artificial contraception, are they blocking the existence of a person God would want in the world? Is someone who is never conceived- a potential person, without a body and a soul, never really created- known by God? Patrick explained middle knowledge (Scientia media) – can God know something that is only theoretical, a possibility, it doesn’t really exist, it doesn’t actually happen? The Molinists on the Jesuit side said yes, God can know in a “middle knowledge way” and the Thomists on the Dominican side said no. They argued endlessly and both had good arguments. It has never been a definitive resolution. Anything that can be known, God knows. If God knows some people would have come into existence if their parents weren’t using contraception, then God knows that. In a theoretical sense we can say that these people who would …More

"Is someone who is never conceived- a potential person, without a body and a soul, never really created- known by God?" This question presumes a conclusion never reached by the Church: that the soul comes into existence (i.e., is essentially "created") at conception. Mankind does not have the power to thwart God's creation, but only to choose to not participate in conception. A vow of virginity (with one notable and blessed exception) has the same effect.
