What an amazing honor to celebrate Frank La Rocca’s Mass of the Americas yesterday at the Insigne y Nacional Basílica de Santa María de Guadalupe, the holy ground in Tepeyac where Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared in 1531. ProjectGuadalupe2031.org continues. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.

I write: "the problem underlying them all is the loss of the sense of the sacred — and most especially in how Catholics worship. What does this loss mean?..The failure to evangelize the next generation of young Catholics in our pews leading to a cascading decline in Catholic faith and practice, as witnessed by the decline in Mass attendance, marriages, baptisms and religious vocations."
It’s Time for a Renaissance of Excellence in Catholic Liturgy
Regaining our sense of the sacred is a most urgent problem the Catholic Church faces today.⤵️

If you’d like to know what Christian charity looks like. It looks like this. Cardinal Raymond Burke was one of the only American Cardinals braving the cold to pray a rosary for Pope Francis last night. This after the Pope removed him from his apartment, cut his salary, and publicly ridiculed Burke during his own health battle. What a beautiful witness he offered us all.

“Almighty and everlasting God, have mercy upon Thy servant, Francis, our Supreme Pontiff, and direct him, according to Thy loving kindness, in the ways of eternal salvation; that, of Thy gift, he may ever desire that which is pleasing unto Thee and may accomplish it with all his might. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.” (FSSP’s Prayer for the Pope)

Vatican in theory: “Synodality is the future.”
Vatican in practice: Let’s micromanage from thousands of miles away the Traditional Mass in a small diocese in rural Texas just to punish the faithful.

Cardinal Sarah: "Banning or suspending the Extraordinary Form can only be inspired by the devil. I am of the opinion of Benedict XVI. What was holy and sacred yesterday cannot be condemned to disappear today. What harm does the Traditional Mass cause? What harm?

An American success story: a convict who worked previously as a garbage man and at McDonald’s, has climbed his way up the ladder to the presidency.
Who said the American Dream is dead?! 🇺🇸

Dear Hollywood,
The “depraved-yet-sanctimonious” Catholic hierarchy theme isn't the brave, truth-to-power move you think it is.
It's an easy trope for easy applause. You really wanna flex? Write a bishop who's a saint. If anti-clerical Victor Hugo can do it - so can you.

Did something about the movie Rocky give you chills growing up?
The man behind the legendary Rocky music said it was entirely inspired by the Catholic Mass.

Aquinas: “If an unjust government is carried on by one man alone, who seeks his own benefit from his rule and not the good of the multitude subject to him, such a ruler is called a tyrant… If an unjust government is carried on, not by one but by several, and if they be few, it is called an oligarchy, that is, the rule of a few. This occurs when a few, who differ from the tyrant only by the fact that they are more than one, oppress the people by means of their wealth. If, finally, the bad government is carried on by the multitude, it is called a democracy, i.e. control by the populace, which comes about when the plebeian people by force of numbers oppress the rich. In this way the whole people will be as one tyrant” (On Kingship, Book I, Chapter 1)

How else can this be interpreted other than mockery of Catholics and the sacrament of Holy Communion, not to mention the distasteful pornographic innuendo? Gretchen Whitmer is only the latest example of the gross anti-Catholic bigotry festering inside the Democratic Party.
