Above, at Holy Redeemer very early Sunday mornings.
Below, just a bit later, at Prince of Peace:

For those readers who are “stunned” at my appraisal of the CDW’s efforts, and there are some ecclesiastics who are, as they say, “stunned”, I say this: the dubia answers state that Jesus’ Holy Sacrifice has NOTHING to do with the life of the parish. And that, my friends, is not just evil, but demonic. Objectively, it’s blasphemy, objectively, a mortal sin of scandal over against the Lord’s Little Flock.
Imagine, at the last judgment, with Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, with His wounds still in His hands and feet and side, His Heart, in front of you, and you screaming that Jesus is irrelevant, that only you are important, even as you run into hell: feel the POWER!
Here’s the deal, in this tiniest of all parishes in North America, we who are nothing, all agree with this:
- Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem caeli et terrae, visibilium omnium, et invisibilium. Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum. Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, Lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem descendit de caelis. Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine: Et homo factus est. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis: sub Pontio Pilato passus, et sepultus est. Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in caelum: sedet ad dexteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, judicare vivos et mortuos: cuius regni non erit finis. Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum, et vivificantem: qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur, et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per Prophetas. Et unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum. Et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.
And… and… we’re belligerent about it, entrenched, rigid. [gasp!]
Amen.
If I am “stunned” at your posts its because you tell the truth. You aren’t fearful of rebuke or retaliation, you tell it like it is! Amen Fr. George. I read every morning and gasp, sigh and sometimes blow coffee over myself! Never dull, never without evoking intense thought and reflection. I thank you for bringing this “old broad” back to new found reverence for God. Keep it up!
Nothing “stunning” here. Only the brave and the beautiful and the truthful.
God be praised and Father be thanked. Merry Christmas. Glory to God in the highest and on earth Peace to men of good will.
