Wow President Trump nailed it!

Michael Boharski's avatar

The problem is they are both wrong but in different ways. My concern is that lionizing Trump will lead to a backlash of sympathetic support for Prevost. Both forks on this road lead to disaster for neither leads to the narrow gate.

Kevin in FL's avatar

The “principalities and powers” of this world harness division and then controls the opposition to meet their ends. Prevost and Trump are just 2 different tentacles of the same octopus. The democrats are a different tentacle. It’s one big psyop. We must trust in the faith with objective truth to see through the fog of lies.

There is a common denominator between Trump's Israel-first policies and Leo's pusillanimous and open-borders posture.

Oy gevalt! Close your eyes and stop noticing!

Sad to say, Catholics belching up antisemitism is just a particular breed of Catholic dog returning to its vomit.

JimInFlorida's avatar

Wrong, rabbi. Antisemitism is the proper response to foul food that has been eaten for too long. It is allowing the body-politic's natural response to an infection.

BTW, I left the Catholic Church because it decided to embrace the self-Chosen i.e. Lucifer's Chosen. Only the Yehudim enjoy infecting their host because they feel safer when their victims are busy with the Jewish sickness.

The war and illegal immigration (Mayorkas) are Jewish to the core. Which flavor of Jew slave do you like, Trump or Lavenders?

JimInFlorida's avatar

No slaves. Why? Because their descendants, one day, will become a great pestilence. Ask Pharaoh Ramses II what happened when his "guests" stayed too long. The "guests" even penned a wild fiction titles, Exodus, to justify their ruin of a once great Egyptian kingdom.

Your views are WAY out on the fringes. You seem to hate everyone.

What are you even doing here?

JimInFlorida's avatar

I only hate the fleas and ticks who have the temerity to declare that they have a greater right to be on their host --- than the host does to be without them.

I only take a rolled-up newspaper to the whipped dogs of the Church who fear to even flinch when a tick hits a nerve while it feeds.

John Hochstedt's avatar

“Jews are an infection” is straight up hatred of Jews, which is the worm that dieth not in the soul that hates God.

JimInFlorida's avatar

I only hate what is worthy of hatred and History backs me up 109%. Proverbs 6:16-19 illustrates what God Himself hates and the Tribe fills that bill to perfection. It is right to hate the fleas and ticks who have the temerity to declare that they have a greater right to be on their host --- than the host does to be without them.

Thank you Chris!!

You have a gift of writing, that I can read THE TRUTH without breaking down in tears. Because it’s the TRUTH.

Thanks again

The Trump administration (rightfully) cut off the billions in human trafficking funds, deceitfully called immigration assistance to the antichurch. The loss of those human trafficking funds are why antipope Robert Prevost and anti-Catholic prelates like Cupich, Tobin and McElroy are saying what they’re saying. They don’t give a damn about “poor immigrants” and they sure as hell don’t believe the teachings of the Catholic Church! They want those billion$ back and think they can dupe Catholics into lobbing Congress to reinstate it. Don’t fall for it fellow Catholics. That money went and will go to everything from hush money, to sex abuse settlements, to rent boys, porn subscriptions, drugs and lavish lifestyles.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter."

And I do indeed expect that Trump has gotten Prevost's attention.

One can hope!!

Fr. Timothy Sauppé's avatar

Wonderful commentary. All that was missing was a phrase so apropos from War Room’s Ben Harnwell, that like Francis, Leo is just the “chaplain to the New World Order.” President Trump should have added the death toll of these Muslims drowning in the Mediterranean Sea plus their tolls of rapes, murders, and burned Catholic/Christian churches throughout Europe—including Paris’ Notre Dame.

James U.'s avatar

Yes, Trump nailed it against Prevost. The problem is that the majority of Novus Ordo pewsitters don't know or care what's going on. Most of the rest, especially older females, are liberals who heartily support the TDS Church. Today's Church is like the Israelites who God caused to wander in the desert until the godless generation passed away.

Ted P's avatar

Stop with your Trad-TLM hate.

James U.'s avatar

For many contented years I was part of that same majority. One day the Lord blind-sided me with a totally unexpected and undeserved life-changing event that led me to the TLM. There is no hate, I assure you, only frustration that I am unable to pay it forward, to share that blessing with others. That said, I will tone down my posts. Thank you.

Susan Matthiesen's avatar

Don't tone down a thing.

Ted P's avatar

You are a bringer of disunity.

Trad/TLM is just one (VERY small) corner of Catholicism.

La-di-da to you too, lady.

Ted P's avatar

You have the right to the TLM if it works for you. In God's peace, go and celebrate.

I'm glad you will tone things down. Peaceful coexistence of different rituals would be one of the most important achievements of our time in the Church.

P.S. I'm even more blunt with the modernist NO-only crowd.

Susan Matthiesen's avatar

Placing my bet that you have one of those COEXIST bumper stickers on your car. Haha. Don't you know that Islam is not here to co-exist with anyone? But then you're eastern Orthodox. Don't they hate the Jews? If that is so, then it makes sense that the Orthodox cheer for Islam and you for everyone to "just get along and coexist". Funny how you want to be the comment boss and tell everyone to "tone it down".

Ted P's avatar

I'm Byzantine Catholic.

I deplore "Coexist" stickers because they are the province of leftist zealots.

Speaking of zealotry...Trad/TLM (increasingly and unfortunately) falls under that rubric.

Susan Matthiesen's avatar

Well I'll be Susie the Zealot then because Christ said "The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up".

JimInFlorida's avatar

OK, I'm confused now. I checked your activity and you upvote the very same things that I support. You're Eastern Orthodox (?) and that means you belong to a Church that has retained its integrity. Unlike Rome which was poisoned under Paul VI and rotted where it fell.

YET, your responses smell like Vatican II / NO swill. Are you a crypto-Jew undercover? What's going on here?

Ted P's avatar

I'm Byzantine Catholic.

I'm entitled to think for myself, without bigots prejudging me with demands I explain myself, as though you were entitled to it.

JimInFlorida's avatar

You are thinking what was prescribed for you to think. You might be nominally Byzantine Catholic but, I smell Gefilte Fish in your words.

MCav's avatar

I don't know where you go to church, but my Catholic Church is nothing like that! Including those who go to the Novus Ordo mass. And, those fellow Catholics, in my church, don't belong to a TDS church! That's a really broad brush you're using with your judgement! I pray Jesus is more kind and merciful to you.

Petite Fleur's avatar

I worked (sorry to say) for the USCCB briefly in 2015, and I can assure you, they were receiving millions from the U.S. coffers to bring immigrants into the country. They had an entire department for this purpose alone and it was their most prolific at bringing in huge sums of dollars. I remember having to attend a meeting on the need to bring in immigrants and canonizing Oscar Romero as the immigrants' saint because of his so called defense of human rights, etc., but he was no more than a general in the liberation theology movement and a communist.

DJG's avatar

How much of the money actually went to immigrants?

John Brophy's avatar

Thanks for sharing these valubale insights. Axelrod, Obama, Alinsky... the Chicago clan. And now Prevost, one of their own, showing his true colours. Problem is Trump has read ¨Rules for Radicals¨, and he has their number. Trump invented the FAFO doctrine. Game on.

Chuck Montgomery's avatar

Spot on. You can throw Bernadine with that evil bunch. His " seamless garment " baloney is still wrecking havoc today. Don't trust any of them.

Kevin in FL's avatar

Do not these 3 men follow the McCarrick line?

Carl's avatar

Yes, and they have plenty of company.

Frank Hannon's avatar

There is nothing more nauseating than that image of those three American homosexual Cardinals sitting there in a row as the face of the Roman Catholic Church in America, an icon of the pathology by which the Chuch is afflicted throught the West.

Donna's avatar

Thank you Chris. I was reminded of this article on our obligation to know, speak, and act when faced with false authority.

“Catholics are called to maintain respect for the office and person of church leaders while still exercising their right to question, refuse to comply with, or speak against specific actions or teachings that contradict authentic Catholic doctrine.

Civil disobedience and principled resistance to authority can be morally justified when church leaders demand something that violates God’s law, a person’s fundamental rights, or essential Catholic teaching.

The virtue of fortitude or courage allows

Catholics to stand up for what is right even when facing pressure, ridicule, or consequences from those in positions of authority within the Church.”

Well-said, Sister! We 1,422,000.000 laity sitting in the pews have the right--nay--the duty--to confront falsity, lies, blasphemy, fabrications, and deceptions of our sacred faith!

John Hochstedt's avatar

That’s a too-generous estimate on the number of laity in the pews, and overestimates the Catholicity of the ones who are still hanging onto the shipwreck of the ersatz barque of Peter.

Elaine's avatar

A Novus Ordo site. Their prayer to confirm those confused about the sex God gave them at birth isn't Catholic.

Here is part of that prayer:

".We pray for all who are ostracized because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Heal the wounds of their hearts caused by unkind words and actions. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. May they find true acceptance and belonging in Your Sacred Heart. Guide them to communities where they are cherished for who they are. Be their constant companion and their most faithful friend. Amen."

Ted P's avatar

Not all Novus Ordo people are radicals.

Stow your un-Christian Trad-TLM zealotry.

Carl's avatar

No, they aren't. But we are very poorly catechized!

Ted P's avatar

Speak for yourself, pard.

Carl's avatar

Don't need to. Just go to the average NO and witness the "reverence!"

Ted P's avatar

There are some NO parishes that are a circus. That's greatly decreased since the B16 mass reform a decade ago.

At Trad/TLM parishes, "reverence" seems more like depressive smugness.

P.S. I'm high-church Eastern rite. I know what REAL reverence looks like.

Thomas J. Fortino's avatar

That is what happens when you have to deal with an anti-pope and all the anti-bishops of the conciliar/synodal circus freak show.

John Hochstedt's avatar

Or as I call them the Roman Methodist Episcopal Congregationalists. They are truly one with the sapphic archlaywoman of Canterbury.

VRS's avatar

"So yes, Trump’s rebuke struck home. It struck home because Leo had earned it. By behaving like one more actor in the global clerical-progressive machine, then looking shocked when somebody answered him in plain language." - When an actor (or rather over-actor, costarring with "stars" like Paula White) rebukes another actor, you can follow a screenplay/&plot or performance but I think the most interesting is who was responsible for the casting.

Pinksy's avatar

Excellent!

Evangeline's avatar

I can only speak for myself. The only way I can still consider myself Catholic is to attend the TLM and completely detach from the mainstream church. I perceive no connection with these apostates, if they were ever believers. I consider them evil men, most of them homosexuals pedophiles, marxist, pagan, freemasonic nonbelievers. What have they to do with us? I cant pray for vocations into this madness. If the SSPX is excommunicated and Leo bans the TLM, we will attend monthly due to distance. Leo was installed to get Trump when USAID was in place. Whoops! Now no money but Trump is obviously Leo's target. I knew that when Leo was elected. Globalists really are nervous about Trump. As an American Leo can poke Trump and hopefully turn you and me against him. My fellow Catholics, open your eyes.

John T Turner's avatar

Amen and Amen. I also attend the TLM. I’d no more attend a NO than I’d attend a Rastafarian love in presided over by homosexuals.

The Wikileaks emails between Hillary Clinton and John Podesta about updating the Catholic Church need to be followed up and investigated.
