Protecting the parish as pro-abort SCOTUS protesters video YOUR reactions to them so as to waste your time in court

My estimation of Taylor Marshal just went up. He knows Jiu-Jitsu, like, really well. Very impressive. My own health isn’t good enough right now. I’ve been putting off an operation and there are other things. But out of interest I looked up Jiu-Jitsu and found that one of the best instructional schools in these USA is right close to my parish – https://www.fxselfdefense.com/ – boasting of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Israeli Krav Maga Maleh, Muay Thai, Okinawan Karate etc.

In daily life I enjoy exercising situational awareness (noticing how to get out of or deescalate situations) along with my “force-multiplier,” but Catholic churches full of parishioners attending Holy Mass is now set to be a favorite target of the pro-abort anti-SCOTUS terrorists. And, as Taylor points out, the priest at Holy Mass that is offered ad orientem has zero situational awareness and is the perfect unobstructed first target, the fiddleback vestment with any embroidered “decal” making it all the more easy target-wise for the terrorist:

So, security teams are all the more necessary. My own diocese has been insistent on having security teams. The advice about 2nd amendment possibilities for these security teams is extremely carefully not provided, with absolutely nothing said for or against, insisting, in fact, on making sure that no parish offers any advice one way or the other. In court, people will hold you liable if they are hurt because you’ve limited their rights or because you didn’t and someone was hit by, say, a ricochet. So, you let the 2nd amendment speak for itself.

We do have neutral signs on the doors of the church and social hall proclaiming that concealed carry is just fine by us. In North Carolina, concealed carry permits involve extensive local, state and federal background checks to such an even exaggerated extent that we enjoy reciprocity with most any State. I proactively invite any on-duty law enforcement officers to attend in full uniform, which includes, of course, their open carry. We’ve even had the Chief of Police attend Mass in such manner. Great! They’re an exception to the only-concealed-carry rule (if you wish to carry).

But when terrorists are looking for soft-targets in a region and see such small signs discreetly posted on church doors, that’s not the church they are going to go to first. They will want to go to the softest target, a church which is militantly anti-2nd-amendment, regardless of whether congregants agree with SCOTUS or with the stated interests of the terrorists themselves.

Just to say, terrorist groups (imnsho) having a history of arson, assault, murder, level-of-war damage to real property, assassination of police officers… they are also gearing up to join in the new Summer of Love.

The video above has a lot of good advice for larger congregations. But in my tiny parish it comes down to this: quite simply, the violence of aggressors will not be tolerated by anyone. Our entire parish is our security team. If any of our parishioners is aggressed upon, the aggressors can be politely escorted out of door. I’m told in casual conversation with one of our officers that it is likely illegal to detain anyone, but violent aggressors can certainly be escorted out the door.

  • At the Spanish Mass, any actively violent people crashing into church – whatever that violence happens affecting others happens to be – would be instantly dogpiled until the threat was escorted outside. And I do mean that this would happen instantly. Most of those attending the Spanish Mass are from the same town in Mexico, an extremely violent town. They have seen it all before and are instantly ready to smack it all down here. That’s not what they want to see here. They will protect their wives and children and each other. To our Mexicans, who know all about suffering the violence of being thrown into vats of acid, dismemberment by chainsaw, beheadings, gunfire, whatever, a handful of SCOTUS protesters is not what is going to freeze them in fear. You know why? Because my parishioners believe in God, in Jesus, and will lay down their lives for each other, instantly. You think my parishioners are afraid of phone-videos while they are being assaulted or worse? No.
  • At the English Mass we have plenty of people who carry. Also, and this changes from week to week, but we have a constant flow of well trained military and law enforcement, often Federal law enforcement on vacation, frequently FBI, intel groups, etc. They’re all ready to instantly take care of any eventuality in such manner that Holy Mass could and would continue without missing a beat. I love that.
  • At the TLM, you can combine everything said for the other Masses above. :-)

    God is generous with miracles. Praying for the miracle of protection from those who have chosen to be the evil one’s children.

    He lost me when he said He was going to protect God.

    I don’t know Father…sounds like you are putting out a ‘double dog dare’ to the malcontents who are stupid enough to try to crash the Holy Mass. Now I need to go to Confession anyways because I want to do violence to those those would do such things.

    Just read the following news headline posted on line: “Armed man charged with attempted murder of US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh”.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-09/attempted-murder-supreme-court-justice-brett-kavanaugh/101137734

    “My own health isn’t good enough right now. I’ve been putting off an operation and there are other things.” I’m sorry that is the case, Father. I hope your health returns fully and the other matters resolve well, and will pray accordingly.

    I totally add my prayers to Aussie Mum’s for you, Father. I say this, not as self-congrats, but to simply remind you of the prayers offered to God for you.
    I just returned from family visitations, during which I kept completely away from the news of the world. Today, all of the events of this past week struck me as screaming signs of the times that only the most subterranean dweller could miss. [discretely removes a bit of moss from shoulder]

    I just dropped an email to the grand knight of our local KoC, asking what they, as a Ministry, are doing to help maintain security during all the Masses. I included a link to this post.
    Maybe, Father, you can – I don’t know – challenge the supreme knight of the KoC in this country, in the same way. Maybe use your status of MoM to spur a nation-wide call-to-service of the KoC on this issue.
    That, is, if this call has not already been done. [removes moss from other shoulder]
