Title: Christ Embracing St. Bernard Artist: Francesc Ribalta 1565-1628 Date: between 1625 and 1627 Collection: Museo del Prado Bernard of Clairvaux, O. Cist., (1090-1153) was an abbot, mystic, and co-founder with Hugues de Payens of the Knights Templar, and reformed the Benedictines through a nascent Cistercian Order. We need a Bernard or Hugues to step into the fray.

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was an Austrian occultist, social reformer, architect, esotericist, and claimed clairvoyant. Steiner gained recognition as a literary critic and published works including The Philosophy of Freedom. Esotericism is the belief that religious texts contain hidden meanings that are only available to the adept. The words in red show that Steiner was an outright fraudster. Malachi Martin SJ (1921-1999) was an Irish-born American Catholic priest, biblical archaeologist, exorcist, paleographer, professor, and writer on the Catholic Church. He was one of ten children, five girls and five boys. Four of the five boys became priests. About Siri (1906-1989) Martin said, according to Wikipedia -
Siri at Vat II Anyway, whether you believe what is said, all the destruction began then. John XXIII's prayer for world peace sounds exactly like the current pope. He engages in political stunts...how about praying for Catholics? After all, they are in your care.
You see art, student art, and history. Anne conceived Mary immaculate; the only other woman created without sin was Eve. The sculpture of Le Brun's mother is lovingly done, St. Catherine is depicted with a sword, and St. Joan of Arc is covered in silver armor. Also mentioned are the friendships among the artists and the American narrator's Parisian girl.
The sanctuary lamp is lowered by a pulley. The axial chapel, which you see in the thumbnail, has French trompe-l'œil, the highly realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface, so much so that the green paintings look like sculptures. Dix coups de cloche - so, it must be 10am. An SSPX priest prays his breviary. Have I visited Paris? I didn't have an art historian with me, just my brother. Parisian school In April 2020, the congregation of SSPX Saint-Nicolas defied social distancing regulations then in force by holding an Easter Vigil. A live stream on YouTube showed the priest and deacons in close contact, without wearing masks, and Holy Communion was given with bare hands. About 40 people were in attendance. The priest was warned, booked, and given a €135 fine, since proven to be the correct response by a Catholic church to the tyranny of perversion. For all the cretins out there, tutoring was suspended for six months, but when it resumed, my students and I did not wear masks, and we were just fine. We had a children's Mass at 9am Sunday, St. Anne, SF, with the pre-modernist PBVM nuns, 15-20 (photo is Epiphany School, SF). To give you some idea of the difference between then and now, I walked to St. Anne by myself, and a family in the parish owned a grocery store, three blocks from our home. The Barulich family delivered groceries to the nuns every week for free. Carrying no pocketbook, they boarded public transportation for free. Anthony reads John Hardon, SJ, 1914-2000, the last good Jesuit, which saddens me as they were my educators. Joe Ketzer, my Jesuit-educated friend in Vienna, told me the same thing. Remember, Cardinal Cupich of Chicago banned the Prayer to St. Michael. If that isn't evil, what is?
1729 – born Olot, Spain 1736 (age 6) – enters the choir school of the Monastery of Montserrat 1746 (age 17) – appointed Choir Master in Lleida 1752 (age 23) – admitted to the Monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial 1753 (age 24) – begins studying under Domenico Scarlatti & José de Nebra 1783 (age 54) – dies Father Soler's birthplace, Olot, is between the Fluvia River and the Pyrenees Mountains. Known for a 20-hour workday, he was appointed music teacher for the Infantes Antonio and Gabriel, sons of King Carlos III. He reminds me of John Vianney, known to hear confessions for 12-14 hours a day, which is quite a contrast to New Order churches where confessions are heard for one hour on Saturday. At Latin Mass churches confessions are heard every day. Title: Retrato de Carlos III, niño (Carlos III at nine)

A young-looking Bishop Rene Gracida, 101, spoke out in support of exiled Bishop Strickland. I think Sarah and Burke have, and Vigano. That makes four out of 5,600. Bishop Gracida is referred to as retired. It’s like saying retired husband.
About 2,000 police departments across the nation use it. So, you want to defund innovation?
“The Attorney General is talking in circles,” said Greg Burt, Vice President of the California Family Council. “Bonta [CA Attorney General] and Tony Thurmond [CA State Superintendent of Public Instruction], representing the Department of Education, have been suing and intimidating school districts across California for adopting parent notification policies, claiming these violate state law. If that’s true, then how can their attorneys [representing the state] say the state’s secrecy policy was simply a suggestion, not an enforceable law?”
https://www.californiafamily.org/2024/05/ca-ags-attorney-says-states-gender-secrecy-policy-not-enforceable-only-guidance/ Parent notification refers to California’s secrecy policy compelling teachers to deceive parents about a student’s "gender dysphoria". The dinosaurs, on the other hand, are not an illusion, and teaching students about authentic history and settled science, even speculative science if so designated, is a good. Two French angels assist the Welsh hermit-priest who mingles with us and overlays the video with a poem written at Fontgombault. Did you know that every angel in Heaven is present at Mass? They worship, too. If my friend Josh and I, not angels, were present at this Mass, stifled laughter would have interrupted solitude. The little guy is doing his best. A parent sent me this video of a self-driving car in San Francisco. The owner is Waymo, LLC, formerly known as the Google Self-Driving Car Project, an American autonomous driving technology company headquartered in Mountain View, CA. These cars are common in SF, and stop and hazard lights go on when an obstacle is encountered, and seem to have a problem near the street cars (MUNI light rail). I asked her if other drivers drive around them when that happens, and she said, "If there's room." The cars have limited human supervision. "This question was sparked recently when a Tesla Model S crashed into a parked fire truck in Los Angeles.[5] The driver claimed that the vehicle was in Autopilot mode at the time of the accident, and Tesla has since clarified that its Autopilot feature is not meant to be used without supervision. This incident highlights the need for more straightforward liability guidelines in autonomous vehicle accidents." https://www.thezebra.com/resources/car-insurance/self-driving-car-insurance/ She received it.
Better choice - say no. Basis for that - Litany of Humility. From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, Jesus. From the desire of being loved... From the desire of being extolled... From the desire of being praised... From the desire of being preferred to others... That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. Etcetera. Anthony Stine of Return to Tradition (YouTube channel) reads a letter from Father Donald Kloster, a diocesan priest, not a priest of the SSPX or any other of the Latin Mass orders. The letter will shock the New Mass people. When I say "New Mass people", I mean those still attending the Mass instituted in 1969/1970. At the time we were led to believe that the Latin Mass had been replaced. That was a lie. Anthony Stine, PhD, Public Affairs and Policy, Portland State University
Only Anthony has the letter. I uploaded his full presentation for that reason. Enlarge the screen so that you can read the letter along with Anthony. Reference is made to Bryan Froehle, Professor of Sociology and Religious Studies, Palm Beach Atlantic University. The school is not affiliated with the Catholic Church. I have written about Kloster before; see Father Donald Kloster. Date: 05/2/2024
Here are the signatories to a letter, "Call for the Resignation of Pope Francis":
What is one peter five? For all the Neanderthals who think we don't know the Bible, and Chopin got very frustrated with the type - www.drbo.org/chapter/67005.htm I did not time my comments yesterday on Francis 5/3/2024 to the above letter issued the day before 5/2/2024. I did not know of the letter's existence until today. Revulsion to this man is coinciding and rising. These definitions and explanations come from Bill, one of my very good friends. He did the research. See The Tower.

No mention of aliens.
In science, it is smarter to ignore the unqualified or conspiracy theorists. In religion, it is smarter to ignore prophecies. Stay grounded. Paragraph 1869 [Complicity]
[S]in makes men accomplices of one another and causes concupiscence, violence, and injustice to reign among them. Sins give rise to social situations and institutions that are contrary to the divine goodness. “Structures of sin” are the expression and effect of personal sins. They lead their victims to do evil in their turn. In an analogous sense, they constitute a “social sin.” Paragraph 2272 [Abortion] Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae,” “by the very commission of the offense,” and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society. Catechism of the Catholic Church (any edition) procure (verb) Cambridge Dictionary example: Low interest rates support bonds by making it cheaper for investors to procure funds and invest in fixed-income securities. To procure is to give or obtain funds. One accompanies the other. Planned Parenthood affiliates received about $148 million in federal grants from 2019 through 2021. https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-106215 How is that possible? Everyone knows women go there for an abortion, not health services. You go to an emergency room doctor, not Planned Parenthood, if a sewing machine needle has penetrated your finger or you've been raped. I've sat with three girls in the emergency room. Because Joe Biden formally cooperates in abortion, he is excommunicated latae sententiae. His bishop, Wilton Gregory, has not informed him and has refused to do anything. His superior, Jorge Bergoglio, has not ordered Wilton to do anything. Have they twisted some canonical law to excuse themselves? All three are complicit. Frank Pavone Remember Father Frank Pavone, the prominent, outspoken pro-life priest? He was canceled and is still canceled. That means his priestly faculties were taken away. I just googled him, and the answer was that he was a former priest. How stupid! Once a priest, always a priest. It's a sacrament and leaves an indelible mark. Removing his faculties was pure evil. I have not heard one bishop say out loud what I have said. Many American Catholics ignore what has happened. And that describes the state of the Catholic Church, one cruelty after another after another after another. When it comes to praying for the pope at Mass, I have a mental reservation. I pray for A pope, not one who is schismatic and disloyal. Forget about diverting attention to someone else. It is also a moral injunction that one vote for the lesser of two evils. Robert T. Lincoln, 78, son of Abraham Lincoln, was photographed in 1922 as he was assisted up the steps to attend the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial. You can see that the white uniform was enhanced to sharpen lines or deal with some fading.
I'm going to quote my Austrian friend, Joe Ketzer, also a tutor:
Today is the feast of my Patron Saint. It was introduced in 1955 under Pope Pius XII as St. Joseph the Worker (The Solemnity of St. Joseph, Spouse of the BVM, Patron of the Universal Church). He had a very challenging life, providing for the Holy Family, managing the escape to Egypt, sometimes one of his clients might have run out of assets and couldn't have paid for the built house - maybe Jesus was inspired by such an event for His parable of the unfinished tower (Luke 14, 28). At least he was spared as witness to the cruel death of Jesus. In the FSSP magazine of Austria I read that there's a tradition that believes that St. Joseph was among the deceased who were resurrected immediately after Christ's dying on the cross and appeared to many people in Jerusalem after the Resurrection. Not a dogma, but a beautiful story. “Obviously, the Catholic Church does not favor a theocracy, in which the state would be ruled by God through His representatives, the clergy. Rather, the ideal state as taught by the Church is the Catholic confessional state. In such a setup, Church and state each have their separate domains, but ultimately both are working towards the same end, and the state is always subject to the Church, albeit indirectly. Pope Leo XIII laid out all the principles on Church-state relations in his encyclical letter Immortale Dei (1885), but of course this was all overthrown by Roncalli‘s robber synod known as the Second Vatican Council (1962-65).”

The 1991 performance is the best version I've seen and is full of images of love and chivalry. Lights are dimmed for a reason: you get my drift. At the end he almost tips backward, live, not pre-recorded, and from the male point of view, I mean, look at who the composer and choreographer are, and you might think that the man is in charge, but look again, at her hands and the placement of them! This is a great visual for the writer to develop characters. Look at her eyes: she is always aware of where she is. He is an imbecile, just happy about what he's done. You didn't know so much was packed into a few minutes of ballet grace. I'm here to help. Composer: Frenchman Daniel-François-Esprit Auber 1782-1871 Choreographer: Russian Victor Gsovsky 1902-1974 (1949) Another priest cancelled: Father Thomas Held. Who did it? Bishop Robert Gruss, 68, Saginaw, MI. Gruss ordained him, then canned him. It can be inferred that the perpetrator behind the scenes staged the whole thing to get Held ousted. Numbers of Catholics have no experience when dealing with the possibility of malice aforethought. Also, there are two priests in the diocese who wear suit and tie for the official diocesan photo. That alone signals something is wrong. But for Held, none, including the bishop, hold beliefs in line with what the Church teaches. It's all about protecting themselves and sinecures.
Alexander, my 10-year-old writing student, pulled a fast one on me. He bought the Cambridge Latin Course Unit 1. I asked him if he wanted to study Latin, and he said, "No, it's for you to learn." Ha-ha-ha. So, I asked his mother if he wanted to begin, and she said, "It's up to Alexander." Here I am, having to prepare the first lesson and no idea what that will be.
