Fr. Ripperger ‘Virtue of Mortification” video
repeats the error of St. Thomas Aquinas

Fr. Ripperger at approx. 1:15:50…
“There is the general principles of fraternal correction, which basically means one of the primary principles is in saying something. Will the person who is doing something bad take the correction? If they won’t, you don’t say anything because St. Thomas says if you say something and it makes the situation worse, you become culpable for making it worse. You should be governed by a reasonable judgement of whether the person will take the correction.”
The Biblical and Catholic truth is thus…
“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching”. 2 Timothy 4:2.
It is false to say we have to make a judgement about how we might be received. We should NOT make some judgement about what someone might think of us or may disagree.
The Catholic Encyclopedia puts it this way… the inculcation of Christ: "If thy …More

When Our Berlin Wall Came Down: One Year After Overturning Roe v. Wade
By JOHN ZMIRAK Published on June 22, 2023
John Zmirak
I was at a conference last fall in Florence with other conservative thinkers, having lunch with luminaries whom I couldn’t believe I’d been invited to join. One of the speakers sat down with us, and the topic turned to the aftermath of the end of Roe v. Wade. I talked about the need to promote state protections for unborn children as comprehensively as possible, and to make federal policy aggressively pro-life … in the event of an honest election at some point in America’s future.
A fellow who’d given a decent presentation on family policy spoke up. He aimed his remarks at me: “Listen, I have something to tell you on this subject. I’m quoting no less an authority than David French … .”
I have never cited Scripture as solemnly as this fellow did French. So of course, I couldn’t resist: “David French? Okay, I’ll try to keep a straight face, anyway. Continue.”

Abortion pill reversal.
What many women may not know is that, once they take the abortion pill, they can stop the abortion process through something called “abortion pill reversal.” Women who take the abortion pill and who regret it can call a national toll-free help line, (877) 558-0333, and be connected with a healthcare professional who can put them in touch with a doctor who can work to reverse the abortion pill process. By taking the natural hormone progesterone, women have been able to save their babies in as many as 68 percent of cases.
If you are interested in obtaining brochures for Abortion Pill Reversal, you can contact the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation at Home - PA Prolife Federation.

It is EXTREME MURDER
Abortion murders the most innocent, helpless, defenseless human beings in the world – unborn babies. Abortion is a mother killing her own son or daughter, her own flesh and blood, the one she should love, protect, and nurture.
All four million unborn babies alive in the USA today can be murdered tomorrow, legally and unstoppably on the whim of their mother or for no reason at all.
Abortion is always elective, optional, voluntary premeditated murder. Every abortive mother makes 4, 5 or 6 deliberate decisions to kill her baby. She decides in her heart and mind to abort; calling the abortion facility for an appointment; driving to the abortion facility; signing the consent form for the abortion; getting undressed; laying on the table for the abortion.
98% of abortions are performed on healthy mothers of healthy babies.
Abortion is paid murder. Abortion is not free and she, or someone, is willing to pay an assassin hundreds of dollars to execute her son or daughter. This …More

God is love and will not curse the way people think about "curse". But God sees us hurting ourselves. We are the ones hurting ourselves. With the liberty God gave us he let's us free to Damn ourselves or become saints.

So, it comes to this: Do "we" let God Love us, or do "we" shy away from God. Shying away from God, we are hurting ourselves in evil. In this, we are the only ones responsible for our sainthood or damnation. === Then before deciding a person "is" an atheist, please have a good chat with him, and think a little more. We have the same answer, in the end. === Great question, by the way.

You could answer: imagine God were a person you do not love. Now imagine this person forces you to spend not eternity, but just a week with him. Would that be right? Is that love? No, it is even punishable.
God so loves us He gives us free will and will not impose His will on us.
If we know of Him in this life and reject him, how and why should we spend the next life with Him?
The bible also says that He will judge those differently, who never heard of him.

Just Out: Tucker with Gov. Abbott of Texas: Ready for conflict, so far 10 states sent troops
BREAKING: Texas gov. Greg Abbott tells Tucker Carlson that he is “prepared” for potential conflict with federal authorities and that 10 states have sent National Guard to the Texas border. “There have been about 10 [states] so far that have sent National Guard or other law enforcement. They now are joined together with us and this is a fight for the future of America,” Abbott said. Tucker then asked about potential conflict with federal forces. “All we can do is be as prepared as possible, deploy as many people as possible, do as much as possible to put up more border barriers and deny illegal entry,” Abbott said. “We’re working hard regardless of what the Biden administration is doing.”

“A voice was heard in Ramah, Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more.” Matt 2:18
This is the Biblical Rachel:
“A voice was heard in Ramah” …her crying was miraculously heard 5 miles away from her tomb.
“Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning”…she is overwhelmed with horror of murdered babies.
“refusing to be comforted”…she refusing to be comforted in this life, only in the next life.
“Rachel weeping for her children,”… Rachel claims these babies as “her” children even though she died a thousand years ago. Aborted babies are our children.
These are some of the lessons we learn about today’s Massacre of the Innocents which is worldwide abortion.

Pope Francis makes confusing condemnation of abortion.
“How many innocents are being slaughtered in our world! In their mothers’ wombs, in odysseys undertaken in desperation and in search of hope, in the lives of all those little ones whose childhood has been devastated by war. They are the little Jesuses of today,” the Pope said
His first sentence is a very accurate description of abortion as “slaughter”.
Then he says that abortive mothers are on “an odysseys undertaken in desperation in search of hope”, which is a completely opposite from the truth about almost all abortions.
Then he introduces the topic of war, not abortion… “in the lives of all those little ones whose childhood has been devastated by war.”
There are many reasons given for abortion but the most fundamental reason is found in the Bible…”You desire but do not have, so you kill.”
She wants more freedom, more money, more worldly goods etc. and she is willing to kill her baby to get it.

Bishop Schneider discusses and condemns abortion in about fifteen questions of his catechism. In the first part, he argues that the Church teaches that the human embryo must be treated as if it were already ensouled from the moment of conception (Question 142). In the second part he points out that abortion refers to the actions «objectively evil, i.e., always and absolutely evil» (Question 14), and that abortion is a sin «that cry to heaven for vengeance» (Question 243), and that abortion is murder forbidden by the First Commandment (Question 483). He explains that in many societies this form of murder is legalized and very common (Question 488), that there is a close connection between contraception and abortion (Question 489), that the Church infallibly teach that abortion is intrinsically evil (Question 490), that it is unacceptable to develop and use medical products using fetal stem cells (Questions 499–504). In the third part, he explains that the Church denies Holy Communion to …More
