This was a tedious, painstaking, brutal article to research and write. It was hard to listen to Fr. Ripperger drone on for hours about demons, conspiracy theories and his superstitious worldview.
But people (especially bishops) need to be informed.

Paul Scofield in Mel Gibson’s HAMLET doesn’t need any special effects to turn in a thoroughly grim, otherworldly effect as the ghost. So many other versions resort of thunder or CGI glow…Scofield just needs his voice.

There must be some space retained around sacred things. Just a little bit is enough. We can still behold. We can still touch. We can still partake. But we must not tell ourselves it’s just another place to hang our clothes.

"The bishops with whom I have spoken are almost universally saddened by his reckless attacks on the Holy Father. None expressed any reservations about the decision to remove Strickland. It had to be done."

The US bishops have voted to reapprove the Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism for two years, in view of a permanent place in the structure of the episcopal conference. Also voted for retired Aux Joseph Perry to continue as chair.
11 bishops voted against reauthorization. #USCCB23 – at Baltimore, MD

In my homily today, I touched on grotesque antisemitic distortions of Matthew’s Gospel, the barbaric Hamas terror attack on Israel, the plight of Palestinians as well as Israelis, and the meaning of the all-important wedding garment.

AFIRE (Petzold, Germany, 2023, 10, was 9) Sorry, HOUSE MADE OF SPLINTERS … also, sorry OPPENHEIMER … THIS is the year’s best movie in which Character A sees B and C conversing at a distance and wrongly assumes they’re talking about him.

The Vatican's daily newspaper highlights the use of razor wire at the U.S.-Mexico border with the headline:

This @JVLast look-back at those who said Trump would be a totally normal president and how wrong they all were is a good reminder that we shouldn’t take those people seriously anymore.

ELON PLAN B: “Since normal humans keep blocking people who pay $8, you may now hide your check when posting racist replies.”
ELON PLAN C: “Nobody can be blocked unless they say where my plane is”
