ICE Mechanics in the Machinery of Death?.  What a quote to the world.  Sounds great for a novel from the mid 1930s about fascism and communism, but applied to our law enforcement arm charted with protecting Americans, legal and illegal, from criminal child rapist murdering thugs let out of jail worldwide during Joe & Lizzie Autopen 4 year epic era of  borderless insanity, it seems irresponsible and realistically, more DANGEROUS for 5 year olds, SUV moms and nurses!

Amazing.. a key aspect of mature adulthood is NOT to rush to judgement but preserve the DIGNITY of all involved, test them against lawful rights and order and proceed.  If you are right, thank God for His insight.  If you are WRONG, you know, the human tradition since Adam and Eve, do the feather pillow feather retrieval: EVERY human you told the lie or falsehood to, including bearing false witness against king and pauper, president and homeless, you MUST go to each and tell them you were wrong.  Certainly apologize to the person you slandered or libeled, ask for their forgiveness and correct the record.  IF you did an interview with, say, the Daily KOS, NPR etc or Mr. Bennett (Geoffrey, NOT the Pride and Prejudice patient dad) demand time to retract on social and network media.  TODAY.

Especially IF we are people in authority, whether in the political realm, general laity or religious hierarchy.   I recommend the Cardinals Three, their XlNcs  Jersey Tobin, former San Diego prelate McElroy and Chicago’s Cupich, do the honorable thing and meet with a good Catholic leader, Tom Homan for some factual and moral clarity about ICE.   Kristi Noem means well, but she was out of her realm with her recent handling of the Minnesota Mess.  But when our New Jersey top Catholic, alongside McElroy and Cupich makes rash judgements, what are we to do, Don Paolo?   Are we to just acknowledge or help them see through their ignorance?

Cardinals Three and other readers:  a few requests

1.  Please don’t use the terms fascist against legal law and order ICE  nor rely on your presbyterates for information, without patiently researching for the truth and NOT being impulsive to make political points. Apostolic succession depends on truth being passed down from bishop to bishop.As descendants in the apostolic tradition, we need you to preach Christ, not the ICEbreakers anti-American agenda.  Of course, speak truth to politics, which is unavoidable. But echoing a 100 year old political activists viewpoint from Switzerland, as Don Paolo xxxx speaking to a frightened woman during the Third Reich buildup one year after the Nuremberg Racial Laws of 1935, with Margaret Sangers input, were solidified.  You totally missed the point.  ICE officers are not fascists, the Left Progressive Demogods are scamming you.
2. Less Rash and Judgmental Rush.  Please ask better questions of  your influencers who often take advantage of you!  For example, Alex Pretti has been called a nice guy, a nurse and the MSMedia sites say he was fired 3 months ago.  The truth is out there, but ICE did NOT slaughter Mr Pretti.  Certainly, remember him in your prayers…but you don’t
3. I have 11 kids, 25 grandkids and spent 40 years homeschooling and 33 years on three parish staffs and know Cardinals, like DREs and Youth Ministers, can be the target of misuse, abuse and grifting.    Your insights are important but, agree or not, in this Eucharistic Renaissance of massive new converts and reverts, we need your clear wisdom.
4. Pray for Cardinal McElroy; he is a good example of judgmental rush given very poor advice before his transfer out of San Diego.  Sept 2024, with a 10 vote majority from his presbyterate team, he banned engaged Catholic Homeschooling from using parish school facilities when school is NOT in session, throughout the 118 parishes in his diocese at the time.  I will bet my weekly Mass donation that the Cardinal or ten priests still accept donations of time, money etc. from those banned homeschooling Catholic parents who exercise CCC2223 responsibilities as the prime educator of their children. I also bet the Cardinals Three and other bishops will accept homeschooled young adults entering seminary, the same hierarchy who consider Homeschooling competition for parish schools, which it is not, or other antiquated understanding while missing the truth that a higher percentage of ANSWERED priestly vocations come from the “unwashed, barefoot” Catholic homeschoolers involved in their parish church.  To date, Cardinal McElroy has NOT apologized to his former diocesan Catholic parents nor has Bishop Michael Pham, the first Vietnamese American bishop, rescinded the insane banishment and banning as of this writing.  But my passion comes from being in year 40+ of homeschooling our 11 and helping other families do the same, this ignorant rejection must end.  Yes, an unforced error.  Maybe the USCCB can put out a document that parents are allowed to homeschool, they can follow CCC2223 by enrolling their kids in parochial, parish based, public when age appropriate, OR CONTINUING the homeschool experience through 8th even high school.   ALL Catholic parents in New Jersey, Chicago, even DC, homeschool their prebirth now born children from the age of diapers to diplomas.  The recent Jan 25 celebration of Catholic schools week emphasized parish based, but little about Chesterton Academies across America, charter, hybrid or alternative Catholic schools, nor homeschooling.  This myopia misses the reality that “homeschooling is a choice NOT  a crime; it is a lifestyle worth pursuing and considering.”
5. Use proper English, Spanish and other languages; our language is too politically charged and/or bias laden these days.   You can go 8 USCode p1101 or understand “illegal alien” not “undocumented immigrant” is the proper term; it is not a perjorative unless someone is bigoted.  25 million, the conservative estimate, ended during Biden’s term, thousands of gangbangers, rapists, murders etc released from the world’s prisons.  These are the ones ICE is going after, despite Cardinals three allies in the sanctuary movement, not the much maligned cotton pickers of today pulling up ICEberg or arugula.  There is dignity in all jobs but the first step to healing our land is for the lawbreakers, like the ICEbreakers, to see the truth.  Here’s where congress MUST lay it out, now that the southern border is closed, at least until Jan 20, 2028, when Trump Derangement Syndrome subsides and a new admin takes over.  God help us if it is Obamanation III. Take “affordable”, the latest Democrat scam to blame independents and Republicans for the 9% inflation and excess spending on their cronies that Trump is trying to dig us out of.  It’s working, but our Cardinals don’t realize they need to list wise objectives not falsely accuse ICE.
6. Don’t parrot what the progressive leftist chaos sowers say and do; gently  correct when you can. 1 Peter 3:15 is a good start.  Blessed Archbishop Sheen lived through the ravages of the Communist Ascendancy last century.  Communism does not recognize the rights of an individual only the “communist party” as an entity. People are pawns not knights or bishops.   He tells the story of a US Communist newspaper and its illustrator. For decades, he would draw a daily political cartoon for the party; when he needed their help due to health issues, they told him they don’t recognize him only the party interests.  You are invisible to us, not our concern.   Atheistic socialism doesn”t work.  Free market individual efforts to build wealth does especially when a family that has extra can help the poor, the homeless and other family members who are battling financial issues.
7. Preach the truth even when it is not popular.   Lawless disorder should not be encouraged unless we want the 2020 Summer of Love repeated this year as the progressive left approaches sowing tyranny and chaos for the midTerms.   We will pray for you!

Per the media, the Cardinal’s remarks came after the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, and after the detention of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5 year-old boy we mentioned above.

NPR  Geoff Bennett:

The Chronicles of Life and Death continue.

We’ve heard a lot of interesting things in almost four decades of helping women use informed consent, ie get the facts first, outside Orange and San Bernardino Counties flagship planned parenthood kill mill.  Of course, they do more than just kill prebirth babies, harvest the parts they can sell on the open baby slave market and then relegate the medical waste to the red buckets and the white bucket gets the human remains.   Held for Wednesday pickup and shipment via $30 billion in sales Veolia, who also picks up St Joseph Hospital’s red bucket waste as well.

On Advent eve, Nov 29 2025, this has to rank right up there with the most bizarre and distraction-laden exit spiel from the pro-death crowd.

ReLeAsE tHe EpStEiN fIleS

I had witnesses.  “Release the Epstein Files” shouted the man looking to his right at prayer warriors gathered with information packets, roses and prayers underway.   He said little more as he looked left and sped off to the right heading under the Garden Grove (22) bridge.  The male driver just before, with his girlfriend, sister, mistress, wife, trans human female in the shotgun seat or sex slave victim, did the unthinkable: he looked frozen face forward to the east, NEVER checking Tustin Ave like a zombie and made a wide turn toward the overpass.   No need to call Orange PD to report a nasty T-boned SUV or Metro bus.

Thankfully, the oncoming traffic was still a hundred yards away but he didn”t want the free rose for his lady nor the information packet for Life Centers of OC, Obria, Nesting Place and other REAL life solutions.    The places he could get help for the passenger female, even if she just was groomed into killing her child, like Dorothy Day years before was tormented into an abortion. By grandma.

But turning down a rose for your lady who may have had an ultrasound, abortion or just the usual “stopconception”, chemical kill pills or the trans pubescence blockers?

I will leave it to the readers why this 20 something guy was so interested in Mr Epstein’s pedophilic exploits with young boys and girls; if he leans like the Piza Tower left, he must know by now those named are mainly Demogods of the Democrat party persuasion with names like Bill and Swillwell.  You know the party: it has a solid oak plant that says the right to kill mill and kill pills is holier than any other female need on this globally cooling planet.

But Epstein?   He’s dead you know and as Catholics, we pray that he had a opportunity to repent between the prison rope necklace and final breath.  Maybe suffering TDS, was the PP customer hopeful Trump is caught with those Moscow night worker ladies who accidentally tinkled on his hotel bed?  Or to mine for and garner the Golden Photo of 72 naked teen virgins that any third rate AI faker could make in ten minutes.  After all, our gender fluid bender California governor is still Mr. Liquid Sex actor documented by his campaign manager best friend’s wife he stole as compensation for a well run election; he’s hopeful as his four year old presidential 2028 campaign continues, hoping some Love Island slop will ruin the Republican ticket.

The same Trump who was the first el presidente to speak at the annual million plus (media says 5000 including the paid dog walkers) DC Walk for Life each January?

Let’s hope, for the sanity of this planned parenthood escort who would return to pick up his cleansed sex partner, squeaky clean save for the bleeding and ruptured uterus the death doctor screwed up on…let’s hope he realizes Epstein files are illusory.  Killing prebirth kids at kill mills with kill pills and sharp curettes are NOT imaginary pornography.  Every dead child, like a dead porn king like Epstein are REALLY gone.

The innocents, never to suck at mom’s breast, become a rug rat, curtain climber or high school cheerleader, are gone.

The guilty, like the hapless Mr E, is gone and to where is really none of our business. By this temporal moment, his final resting place is already decided.  Prayers for both are appropriate because both need them

Anyways, this has to get the Oscar or at least the silver medal should the cowardly depubescentedd boy pretend girl swimmer get the gold.   Like most excuses about killing human kids prebirth, Epstein is nothing.  And the PP customer, who tossed the proverbial doo doo bag at the wall outside the PP, nothing stuck or made sense.

Now, the middle finger flippers, that we can understand out of self loathing or ignorance: I still need to make ring toss games so when a hot under the soiled collar “man” whips out his longest digit cruising by the peaceful prayer warriors actually helping moms NOT destroyed their lives by destroying their lifeblood, we can toss foam or plastic rings around his nose-picking statement of indoctrination.

The profanity potty mouthers racing by, they just embarrass themselves.  But, kudos to the many focused prolific prolife defenders with truth and real solutions on their side.  Lives ARE saved, with human decents showing care and compassion to troubled, usually groomed or enslaved to the mindset of another.  Alicia and Greg have a two year old now in a different state who picked up a rose, literature and hope after telling me a mother’s plea: “I don’t want to hurt my baby” with sevenplanned parenthood thermal photos of her child inside.   I told Alicia, good news, there is help at the Life Centers nearby and you don’t have to come back to this hell hole ever again.   Oops, shame on me, it’s a hell place not a hole.

As their Saturday time came to an end today, Chuck, John, Sean, Anthony and others, by the way Catholics and Protestants CAN pray together for this #1 evil our bountifully blessed America experiences, the taking of innocent human life while destroying the heart and souls of America’s mothers.

Get your free tickets to come on any day that ends with a “y”!   Pray, help counsel for those 17-20 seconds separating mom and child from death, ACT don’t just talk talk talk.  Most Saturday morning, I bring roses for all the lady prayer intercessors and extras to give the moms being harrassed by death doctors and their mini-samurai curved knives.   At least, the Islamists do a clean slice making Christians, Jews and other Muslims they disagree with, headless.

Makes you wonder, who really is the barbarian and who’s skilled to medically malpractice kid killing and breast/vagina slashing at Boston Children’s hospital in the spirit of telling God you suck.  You don’t know how to genderize boys and girls.  That’s why we need Mr Liquid Sex gender fluidics Newsom being filmed by his best friend’s wife, Jen, now living in the mansion of governors past in Calif.

It’s time.  The Eucharistic Renaissance is underway, global cooling has started and Truth is out there.  As to Epstein’s black book of pedes, whether male or female, the dysphoric confused man-child customer needs to get an indoctrination reduction.  Fast.   God bless.

It’s TIME to get an expert’s answer

Thank you Sarah for reading this!

Pope Leo XiV, lovingly, we are praying for an increase in your scientific wisdom and truth~attentive counselors,  as well as for your continued pontificate of peace; to be Truth Centered as the Eucharistic Renaissance unfolds. Something Mr Kerry or the Terminator may not have mentioned but, the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Admin (NOAA & NASA) warns of cooling.    The Grand Solar Minimum is underway which is proving the global cooling (no, NOT an ice age!) is here!  This disproves the godless world of gimmegrants who use God’s precious plant food source, CO2, for their own miserable ideologies to snag dollars…meanwhile robbing the poor of REAL solutions.  Those billions wasted for Marxist control could do real corporal mercy works for 3rd worlders in cheap no pollution energy, agricultural improvements, etc.  NOT for useless grants based on erroreous governmental indoctrinations.

We can help the poor in REAL ways.  BUT not via the continued worship of the Algorean Heresies.   I have to say there is a lot of genius in the misdirection from androgenic carbon dioxide based global warming to the neutral “Climate change”.

Simply put, “Climate change” happens every hour but global warming is NOT!   Jaded scientists hope the earth is melting to procure grant dollars, but it just ISN’T!

Dr Valentina Zharpova and others such as the physics Nobel laureate Professor Ivar, solid scientists, have the scoop.

Please forgive me, Pope Leo XiV and people of God!  Certainly work to reduce pollution and help the poor 3rd worlders, but don’t be scammed by false pesudoscientists who grub for $$. My 11 kids might think so, but truth be told, I was not around in 1603 when The Pontifical Academy of Sciences was founded in your current residence city, Rome on 17 August; or even re-founded in 1936, but I would ask the current Academy to take up this heresy on an expedited basis to protect our beloved new Pope Leo XiV from stepping in it.

NEW FACTS ARE IN; you need not be a rocket scientist and read complex scientific papers but in the interest of scientific methodological inquiry, it MUST be considered.

Heresies are not new…down through the last 2000 years, a number of heresies have hit the world’s stage.  Arianism, for example, was the idea that Jesus, as the Son of God, was created by God. It was proposed early in the 4th century by Arius of Alexandria and was popular throughout much of the Eastern and Western Roman empires. It was denounced as a heresy by the First Council of Nicaea, in 325ad (hat tip Britannica).   And of course, as you know, we celebrate 3/25 as the Annunciation, Jesus’ Conception and death date in the Gregorian calendar tradition.  In the Hebrew calendaring, Jesus instituted the Eucharist bloodlessly AND died unceremoniously on the same Friday the 13th of Abib (Hebrew 1st month)

Some heresies persist; others die out for various reasons.  A heresy is a belief or doctrine that is considered to be false or erroneous by one or more Christian denominations, i.e. what is believed to be contrary to the teaching of Christianity. Heresies have been a major source of division and conflict within Christendom throughout its history.

The Catholic church has responded to heresies in a variety of ways, including through theological debate, excommunication, and even violence (wikipedia  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_heresies contains a substantive list over the centuries). But we must focus in on the most pervasive one today.

This research piece is zeroing in on this area, what I trace back to Albert Gore; it surfaced in earnest the latter part of  the 20th century and can be attributed in large part to former VP Al Gore and a sizeable list of his contemporaries. Of note is the Heinz heiress’ husband, John F Kerry (who served in Vietnam we must mention) and Bill Gates (though Bill’s conversion seems imminent, moving away from CC or GW to the emerging AI), as well as former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, playing strategic roles in deploying the fallacies of this modern movement.   Early on, our beloved Pope Leo has weighed in on this situation.

With solid study and research, I am hopeful as this Eucharistic Renaissance unfolds, the Catholic Church to be one of many, or one OF one that denounce this persistent heresy that is hurting millions and costing billions due to its inaccuracies and fraud suppositions.

So much good will happen for struggling countries, and minority faiths, once we disengage the across-the-board  fossil fuel condemnation and recognize, for example, that not only is CO2 is God incredible gift of life for His favorite species on earth, but that He created trillions of acre-feet of CH4, typically called natural gas or methane, to power the needs of billions on His 3rd rock from the sun.  Technological advancement continues to add applications re: natural gas, but sadly, descendants of the Luddites refuse to evaluate each “fossil” fuel on its own merits.   Group think stinks!

Al Gore contended that the earth is warming incredibly fast, what used to be called “global warming”, until a resurgence of the Dalton/Maunder minimums happened, especially in this 2020 decade of reduced solar/sunspot activity.

Nothing magic about this: earth NEEDS the sun’s energy a mere 93 million miles away~~to exist!  The amount of solar energy heading to our planet was significantly reduced and the Androgenic Climate Armageddonists can scream “The sky is falling, the sun is melting us” all they want,  but science lovers know they are full of chicken doo doo.

Whether the Middle Ages’ renaissance of discoveries, or today, Scientific truth MUST be fought for vigorously, especially by the Catholic Church’s wise people to protect the Pope Leo XiV making an ‘unforced error’.   I will explain.

Algoreanism has ‘morphed’ to a phenomenon known as “retreat to the obvious” and is better seen today as “climate change”.   What?    Well, any human of drinking age or better, a la GKChesterton, can see that “climate changes constantly”.   Similar to realities that  “wind blows” or “sun shines” phenomena, though unreliable and intermittent,  they are basic statements of obvious irrefutable facts and great anchors for snake oil salesmen and con men trying to monetize God’s incredible atmospheric processes for illicit personal gain.

It should be noted that the seminal work of Dr Valentina Sharpova, a renowned atmospheric physicist, has the potential to put a damper on the climate change monetization business, even though grants still happen quicker for those who toe the government science line regarding the carbon dioxide molecule. And sadly, distract and divert from true needs of humanity.

You may not know, but Al Gore’s professor later called Gore’s theories a hoax, but Gore didn’t care; by that time, his climactic empire was going strong.

His fortunes rested in inconvenient truthlessness.  Please understand, I like most sane people believe that the climate changes often but many have difficulty with the andropogenic nature, the man made part.  Sidebar, notice we never hear of woman~made climate change or global warming?!!.

In fact, later in this piece, I will postulate the laws of climate change. But first, let’s see IF the scientific community considers it an imminent threat by university climate departments and leaders in the Catholic Church.   In short, they don’t.  Ask the professors.

The operative science and scientist is atmospheric physics, not underwater basket weaving or similar politicized science.  This is a critical point because too many outside their sphere of influence and levels of competency battle for government $$ ie grants but unfortunately, the “peer pressure” to be anti-scientific is enormous. They refuse the time-tested scientific methodology because the truth doesn’t make them rich. Even our Pope claims it is “settled scientific law” and brushes off the discussion.

And IF you don’t follow the lead of the government~university know it alls, you don’t get the bucks to do research.   Good news is, stated here in the 1200 scientists statement,  there is no imminent danger.   None. Except to squandered money better used to help the poor and underdeveloped nations.  Ever hear of the East Anglia emails?   Look them up.

Does the Vatican believe this?  When Arnold shows up as the largest hunk of blessed ice is displayed and the Terminator helps unfurl the river blue fabric waved by grown men and women recently, maybe not.   Arnold was a good weightlifter, but that doesn’t make him the eminent scientist to decode this issue.

Most recently, Bill Gates has backed off of his Climate Armageddon position, subbing in AI instead, for the world’s worst imminent disaster, possibly the simplest of reasons:

It’s not true that the sky is falling:  “There is no climate emergency”

Patrick Madrid, a smart maturing Catholic apologist on Relevant Radio Mon Nov 3 2025, piggy backed another billionaire, with Gates’ comments sans a heartfelt apology to all those, like when the Dr Pfaucinstein caused widespread lost jobs demonizing those refusing the jab out of medical malpracticed arrogance.  There were police, fire persons and good scientists who lost jobs or didn’t get grants because the Pfizer Pharmonopoly denied the time honored scientific method.  This is an area where our beloved new Leo XiV is close to science malpractice but I believe it is his staff or Vatican departments leading him to the rabbit hole.

Recent history should cause pause:  If they didn’t believe that hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin were evil drugs, though effective therapies to slow down the mRNA juggernaut, they were banned from a living.   Same has occurred in areas like biology, geochronology, atmospherics physics, chemistry etc. where if you didn’t believe that God is incapable of complex atmospheric processes, controlling His climate and that the earth is melting due to carbon dioxide and other virulent gases, you were shadow banned or unemployed.  In a supposedly advanced world.

The other billionaire, Elon Musk, is a visionary, although his going ‘Mormon’ having seven wives and 12 kids has its drawbacks; but, he is a hero in some ways: his purchase of Twitter for about $50 billion, give or take, historically is pivotal in helping America be magnanimous again.  I’d use MAGA but some of the androgenic climate changers, Catholic and otherwise, would have a hissy fit~~like my fave Uncle Martin, a deacon in NY in his 9th decade.

What is so wrong with law and order, decency, doing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy anyways?  Oh, and separating climate hysteria like “carbon dioxide pollution” from controllable pollution of lazy, ignorant scientific fiction.  With all due respect, making a controversial subject like global warming join the science law world of gravity and the laws of thermodynamics is NOT a wise move.

Our new pope Leo XiV is adamant about saying “climate change” is law, in essence, last October 2025.  Taken from the BBC:

Well it looks like Pope Leo XiV has lost one of the outspoken advocates of “climate change” as deadly and irreversible: billionaire Bill Gates.   Of course, John F Kerry, Albert Gore and the Terminator, Arnold remain on his forward team.  But let’s help out our smiling gracious pontiff NOW.

Personally, I am a lifelong Catholic researcher and was conceived in Chicago 3 years before our new chief papal atmospheric scientist. Please allow me to ask some questions and put forward some conjectures and postulates.   I believe it is unfair to the Pope to expect his irreversible statements on atmospheric physics as if they are cathedra statements on faith and morals.

First point, there is a distinct difference between “climate change” and “global warming.   Today, in many ways, the two are conflated as the same thing when they are distinctly separate.  Look at the recent statement by Pope Leo from above:

“Some have chosen to deride the increasingly evident signs of climate change, to ridicule those who speak of global warming, and even to blame the poor for the very thing that affects them the most.” 

I won’t ever blame the poor for the decisions the intelligencia foist on them. As example: the short sighted beliefs you help 3rd world countries by banning God’s amazing gift of natural gas (CH4) is proof everyone loses, especially the poor, when political science is substituted by bias to interfere with true science.   Plainly, atmospheric physicists not poly sci majors are needed to stand up for the truth.

Climate change, since the dawn of time, happens every hour.   Daily and seasonally.

Climate is the evident state of the atmosphere that changes with the seasons as well is impacted by volcanic eruptions, hurricanes/typhoons, tornadoes, variations in winds like jet streams, cold fronts, the Doldrums, the Santa Anas and other conditions that effect the “weather” or “climate”.   There is no need to “deride” the obvious: no common sense person disagrees that climate changes.  Here are my proposed postulates:

Postulate #1   Climate changes.

Postulate #2   Climate changes constantly and varies by the hour, the season, country, the world.  It is always in a state of flux.

Postulate #3   Man made and woman made climatic impact is NOT proven except in the event of un-natural occurrences like thermonuclear war.  Humans have not yet set off volcanic eruptions which impact climate when they occur. Same with “China Syndrome”

Definition of “nature”

A distinct problem today is we “co-mingle”  mankind’s suppositions about the origins of the universe with what we know scientifically is due to God.    This has made it easier for controversies like what Pope Leo is experiencing, being groomed by the loudest and most often, wealthiest “advisors”.

From all eternity, God has had His incredible Designs for the angels and the universe of the homo sapiens sapiens, ie man and woman. From all eternity past!   God is perfectly precise, whether in the macro universe (553,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) 553 sextillion miles wide or  the micro universe (thousands of intricate submolecular, cellular level, plus thousands of biochemical and photovoltaic processes).   One look at the two sexes, male and female, shows how complementary each “species” is and honors God’s  incredibly genius abilities to “sustain” (people love that word) His handiwork.

A phenomena of recent times is using words to snow the less scientifically minded: like ecosystem, greenhouse, sustainability, foetus to name a few.   But God, not man, created the universe around us and keeps it in motion, from the subatomic level to the largest black hole or galaxy.  Nature is the common term for the world around us but the “assault” is with limiting families ability to produce products disguised as “global warming” indicates the need to restrict processes.   In English, despotic governmental control of free markets in America.

‘Global warming’, the magic words

Huh? Pope Leo:…   “Ridicule those who speak of global warming…”.   I don’t ridicule any one who’s willing to engage in dialogue.   Using that logical fallacy to “put down” people who question the science behind the pronouncement is just wrong.  It usually is a weak mind or someone who can’t defend their “position” that throws a tantrum and says you can’t question “Global warming” as settled science.  It ISN’T!  settled, let alone scientific law.

Just like climate changes, temperatures on this six sextillion ton ball of joy vary as well.   Ever hear of the Maunder Minimum in the middle ages, when London’s Thames River froze over?  Or more current, the Dalton:

“The Dalton Minimum was a period of low sunspot activity that lasted from about 1790 to 1830… It coincided with cooler global temperatures and is often associated with the Year Without a Summer in 1816, which was influenced by the eruption of Mount Tambora.”

Scientifically, the amount of heat energy that travels 93 million miles to earth from our solar system’s star CONTROLS the amount of heat energy on earth.  The sun, physically, is ONE Million times as large as earth and scientists know that sunspots are evidence of solar flares and heat sent into space.

The reasonable CAtholic and reasonable man theory, forces us to acknowledge God, not humans, governs the heat levels on earth. He, not Algore, Kerry or Gates or our beloved Pope Leo, has 100% impact and man shares a portion of 0%.  Illa est: none.

We should define ‘solar minimum’ since it directly effects global warming and cooling:

Notice the chart pegs 2025~2050 as we now face declining solar heat and move toward the Modern Minimum and potential later century mini ice age

“Solar minimum is the regular period of least solar activity in the Sun‘s 11-year solar cycle. During solar minimum, sunspot and solar flare activity diminishes, and often does not occur for days at a time.

On average, the solar cycle takes about 11 years to go from one solar minimum to the next, with duration observed varying from 9 to 14 years. The date of the minimum is described by a smoothed average over 12 months of sunspot activity, so identifying the date of the solar minimum usually can only happen 6 months after the minimum takes place.  Solar minimum is contrasted with the solar maximum, when hundreds of sunspots may occur.

If you want to go much deeper in realizing this penchant for continued global warming is misguided, read the eminent atmospheric physicist Dr Valentina Zharkova Grand Solar Minimum study here: https://solargsm.com/grand-solar-cycle-and-minimum/

Just days ago, early Nov 2025: “The COLD TIMES are returning, the mid-latitudes are REFREEZING; in line with historically low solar activity, cloud-nucleating Cosmic Rays, and a meridional jet stream flow.

And as well as NOAA (the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Admin), NASA also appears to agree, if you read between the lines, with their forecast for this upcoming solar cycle (25) seeing it as “the weakest of the past 200 years,” with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.  Again for the deep seeker, here is more technical data:  https://www.sott.net/article/440781-NOAA-confirms-a-full-blown-Grand-Solar-Minimum

This is my concern about our blessed Pope Leo XiV trying to be the sun’s expert as opposed to being the latest Apostle Peter promoting the Son’s presence in this Eucharistic RENAISSANCE! which is more his role.

Something Dr Paul Kengor recently wrote about in Crisis mag.  His pontifical scientists should be warning him NOT to make this doctrinal nor conclusive obsession with the disproven global warming.  Climate change is fine, because it happens.  Always has and will until Jesus makes His return a line item in tomorrow’s newspaper.

Days ago, early Nov 2025, NOAO confirms a full blown Grand Solar Minimum.  Even so, the global warming majority still get their grants and billions are wasted worldwide, not on HELPING the poor countries and families, but feeding the political beast.

HEAT IS OUR FRIEND!  And to really stir things up, do you realize the earth and farmers LIKE, desire more plantable/arable land?   While the political world continues its politicized global warming craze, even though there are intermingled, cross purposed solar cycles and heat is NOT the enemy but cold and ice age level freezing, is!! 

Ask any iceskater from the 17th century doing triple jumps on the frozen Thames solid under London Bridge.

The increase in the heat quotient on earth EXPANDS the arable land bands farther from the equator and mean single season agriculture, can become two even three crop years.   This climate change fixologists helps 3rd world countries, especially if they have clean water generators and LNG to power their farms and homes.  The hysteria will NOT subside unless we the Church wake up to simple realities.   CO2 is NOT pollution even if the Supreme Court ruled it that way.

Have you ever seen a real greenhouse?   Not the cute pictures in 4th grade natural science books.

Climate/weather tends to go cold in the northern hemisphere in the winter, so if a vegetable grower wants to get produce during December/January, he or she uses a much maligned word and object, the GREENHOUSE.   Made of high impact plastic or glass, to allow radiated heat and light inside, it traps the heat and the light energizes photosynthetic processes for the plantings’ growth.

When God designed the universe, He designed light to be both matter/particles and waves, and  the debate goes on.   But He designed His humans’ planet to have a “radiative atmosphere”, in other words, allows excess heat to reflect back into space.  A GREENHOUSE DOES NOT. By it’s very nature, this common faux analogy lacks common sense or scientific realities, yet Greenhouse Gases “effect” have been spewed for decades as the alarms go off!

IF the earth’s atmosphere did not allow heat out, even with sunspot minimums, the earth would burn up in seconds; the sun is ONE MILLION TIMES as large as the earth, positioned perfectly by God NOT to burn us up or freeze the planet.  There is NO glass ceiling around the planet.  But, note that warmer air inside a real greenhouse helps plants propagate and grow; frankly, ask a real scientist:  cold is more dangerous than heat on par.

This is the major conundrum: few acknowledge what Dr Valentina mentions, that we have a DEFICIENCY nor surplus, of carbon dioxide today.

WE ARE STEWARDS OF THE EARTH NOT ITS CREATOR

I’ve come this far and barely mentioned God’s incredible gift of the trace gas that keeps us alive (via photosynthesis) by its role in the food cycle, and the reality is, it is not pollution (Scotus members have had difficulty defining what a woman is and seeing CO2 as a gift not an odorous pollution source…who trains the Supremes?)

Allow me to give you the $2 challenge.  I’ve done it for decades with groups of 2-4 and sometimes larger. ANYone on earth can do the challenge anyWHERE on earth.

I tell the contestants I’ve grabbed a sample of air in this jar.  We counted out the molecules and the number is 2500 total.  Next I ask the simple starter: “How many of these random air molecules are that nefarious, Supreme Court pollution molecule, CO2?   Closest guess takes home the $2 bill.”  Everyone likes free money but it proves a point.

Answers vary but I always caution, remember we are told in colleges and universities and in high school classrooms, that CO2 is melting the planet and ask Greta the Great how soon we will die from excessive heat…usually 10 years or 5,always changing when the world passes the test.

Some change their answers.  10% or 250 CO2 molecules; some say 25 or half.   The answer ALWAYS surprises, whether a room of doctors, students, teachers, priests. What say you?

“World leaders and climate diplomats will meet in the Amazonian city as efforts to tackle rising emissions of planet warming gases have fallen down the political agenda.”   This is COP30, where the US has an empty seat regurgitating data over caviar and Brazilian beef.

The reason rising planet warming emission gases is losing luster as a political tool,  is the truth is out there.

 I just cited a brief piece of research showing that global warming is not happening; it is obvious, like with the change from ‘clump of cells’, and ‘blob of  tissue’, to motherly choice to kill, when the evidence cannot be denied, don’t admit you are wrong. Saul Alinsky perfected this technique in the seminal “Rules for Radicals.”

Admit you don’t care.  The saddest thing is our death culture can’t stand God having any credit for His design and creating from NOTHING.  But, sadder is how our Church engages in ‘unforced errors’ instead of weathering blowback from the conflicted and godless humanists secular or demonic.

\And yet, in the political football of global warming/climate change,  the target of political left leaning prostiticians remains squarely on carbon dioxide.  Not only is this poor science, betraying the scientific method and refusing to see facts maybe because they are complex, but it is bearing false witness to truth and God’s expertise in creating the universe and mankinds earth a la nature.

Ok, the $2 challenge again.  Let’s choose the Sistine Chapel, but most any place on earth will do.   Let’s say, our beloved Pope Leo XiV, John Kerry, Arnold and Gates are gathered.  I take an air sample and count out the molecules. It turns out there are 2500 random molecules in the Mason jar.   I hold up the crisp $2 bill and ask the group of famous souls a simple question.  “Whoever gets the answer closest to the truth, wins this $2 bill …”

Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva invited the Pope to COP30 on behalf of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. “I am convinced in this way His Holiness will make an indispensable contribution so that COP30 may go down in history as the great moment of implementation,” she said.  Today’s meeting also heard from former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who said the Pope was a real world “action hero”, as he had committed to putting solar panels on all the Vatican’s buildings.

While Solarizing the Vatican is a noble task, but there is more than can be done in stewardship of the earth’s less fortunate.  But first we need:

Additional information to better understand we should focus on planetary cooling trends not the left’s incessant groan about the Algorean heresy that the planet is reaching terminal levels of excessive solar radiation ie heat ie global a warming meltdown.

Recommends to the Pope of Peace Leo XiV

1 Change up the dialogue. Whole industries, many wasteful, are built around global warming, subbing in “climate change” when “cool and cold” happen; and how to mitigate something that needs NO mitigation.  God created an infinitely complex universe and He is keeping it going.  To think, other then nuclear winter, humans can effect excessive heat (“global warming”) on this six sextillion ton planetary “gift” is worse than foolish: it is blasphemous.  God didn’t pull the Deist theory, create the 553 sextillion mile wide universe and then disappear; He created ample “fuels” for different times in history to improve the human condition.  NO imputed knowledge on hydrogen cells, gas for internal combustion engines, natural gas to generate the electricity for giant Tesla slot cars, versions we used to play with as kids but hold human beings.

2 FOCUS the Church on speaking the truth AND practicing subsidiarity in planetary stewardship in poor countries.   Don’t believe the conflicted “experts”.

What is Subsidiarity? It is a principle in Catholic social teaching that emphasizes decisions should be made at the lowest competent authority, allowing individuals and smaller communities to handle issues whenever possible. This approach promotes personal responsibility and helps prevent excessive centralization of power, ensuring that higher authorities only intervene when necessary.”    Decent definition.

We should apply this to our response to how we treat the planet, other countries and not get caught up in being groomed, like sheep, to meet illicit or misdirected agendas.  Currently, this whole climate global warning mess is anything but providing individualized solutions based on first observing, created hypotheses, formal theories and put into ACTION.  Paraphrasing the scientific method.

Here are three suggestions to better understand real solutions.

1  The idea solar and wind “renewables” is the optimum solution over “fossil fuels” like natural gas, coal, oil and nuclear fission reactors has failed after decades.  It makes for great press, but most energy uses require immediate access.  Like when the switch is turned on, one expects the lights to go bright.  Under solar and wind, the problem is unreliability.  Sun doesn’t shine 24/7 and the winds of  the atmosphere go “doldrum’ at times.  Actually every day.    More technology advancement is happening like ending bird killing giant blades, with new bladeless vibration techonologies out of France.

Problem remains the MANufacturing hating climate lovers believe fossil fuels are evil.   Paper or plastic, tree huggers or plastic pushers, it seems we are stuck with bi-polar stake holders.

Natural gas remains the major power source to create electricity nationwide and worldwide soon with the trillions of acre-feet of below ground, drilled for and  CH4 being reclaimed.  AND USED!  Nuclear, except for the nuclear nuts who prefer Luddite lives striking rocks to make a fire, is a great and reliable source of generation.   The two, NatGas and Nuclear solve the problems.  And we can drag the 3rd world out of the slums promoting natural gas for all their energy needs:  cooking, heating their homes, generating electricity 24/7 RELIABLY, powering their vehicles with CNG…the opportunities are endless but you need to shut down the unreliable renewables in name only worshipers.  Stop the science project graft and gimmegrants.

Look at this real world case study from  the Northeast.  It shows even in developed USA, it is a bad choice to rely on intermittent power.

Natural gas and nuclear generation are the two most important sources of electricity.  Susan Shelley, reporter for the Orange County Register, routinely

monitors the generation before and after sundown in California…the results are startling, after  decades of demanding wind and solar as the 100% solution.  Plus, with AI and data centers cloning and demanding more power from the grid, we must OPEN and DRILL. NOW!

2 Focus on the continued effort to reduce pollution, but please finally realize God’s gift of CO2 is NOT pollution, but ESSENTIAL  to keeping us alive.  

3   Someone please tell the Pope climate change is happening, but we can’t blame women for its occurrence AND global cooling, not warming, is underway during this decade based on the 3rd solar minimum over the last number of centuries.   Put together agriculture innovator teams and USAID can export help, not condoms and Rules for Radicals to struggling countries that believe in families, having kids and living peaceful lives free of despots, tyrants and dictators.

Climate changed this week in Southern California, with the jet stream altered (as it does naturally) dumping a artic river on people who saw a rare double rainbow.

CLIMATE CHANGE HAPPENS, PEOPLE OF GOD.   What’s the difference between a category 5 hurricane like Harvey or Irene over populated areas and Cat 5s that happen over the ocean or sparsely populated areas?   Simple answer, MORE damage especially in below sea level Norleans.

By the way, the $2 challenge answer is ONE (1) out of 2500 air molecules.  CO2 is a TRACE molecule that does not effect nor man is impotent to impact.  Currently 414 molecules out of every ONE MILLION atmospheric molecule sample.

Deuteronomy 16 and Joshua 5:

“Observe the month of Abib^* by keeping the Passover of the LORD, your God, since it was in the month of Abib that the LORD, your God, brought you out of Egypt by night.

Yet another reference to Passover with Moses’ successor in Joshua 5:”

My thinking on this is an informed opinion prompted by two things: First, the painful reality that so many self-professing Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence. And second, I’m currently finishing a major biography of Pope Leo XIV, during the writing of which I have both learned about and admired his respect for the Real Presence.

Rejecting the Real Presence

The tragic reality is that substantial numbers of Roman Catholics neither understand nor accept this central tenet of their faith. The data is scandalous. It reveals a deep, decades-long failure of rudimentary catechesis that has resulted in an embarrassingly ignorant laity.

An August 2019 Pew Research Center study found that less than one-third of American Catholics (31 percent) believe that “during Catholic Mass, the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus.” Of this “source and summit” of our faith, nearly seven-in-ten Catholics (69 percent) say they personally believe that the bread and wine used in Holy Communion are mere “symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ.”

That study was pre-Covid. During the pandemic, many Catholics abandoned Mass altogether. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, given that many didn’t believe they were actually receiving Jesus in the Eucharist anyway. Subsequent surveys have yielded similarly disturbing numbers.

A survey released in 2023 by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) found that only 17 percent of Catholics go to Mass each week. Though belief in the Real Presence is higher among those who attend weekly, the overall numbers are still troubling. In the CARA study, a 51 percent majority of Catholics said that they believe that their Church teaches that “the bread and wine are symbols of Jesus.”

Other data could be shown. But the point is that way too many self-identified Catholics reject a core tenet of their Faith—one of the Church’s seven sacraments. They don’t believe what they were taught from the time of their first Holy Communion.

Pope Leo’s Appreciation for the Real Presence

The good news is that the new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, early in his pontificate has already shown his great respect for the Real Presence. He has a history of demonstrating that reverence, from the time he was a newly ordained priest to becoming the head of the Augustinian order in 2001.

In his opening words from the Loggia after being chosen pope on May 8, Robert Francis Prevost proudly described himself as a “son of Augustine.” He constantly quotes Augustine. He knows the venerable saint exceedingly well. And of course, Augustine (354-430) knew the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist exceedingly well.

“The Lord Jesus wanted those [who] recognize Him to recognize Him in the breaking of the bread,” wrote Augustine. “The faithful know what I am saying. They know Christ in the breaking of the bread. For not all bread, but only that which receives the blessing of Christ, becomes Christ’s body.”

Sadly, many self-identified Catholics would be perplexed by what Augustine was saying. They do not recognize Christ in the breaking of the bread. Two thousand years ago, the disciples on the Road to Emmaus recognized Him in the breaking of the bread, as did their Church henceforth. But millions of professing Catholics today do not.

One of Augustine’s most moving discourses on the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist was his analysis of the Expositions on the Psalms (ca. 400) 33,1,10. There, Augustine commented on Psalm 119:109. Applying an Old Testament passage to the New Testament, Augustine asserted: “For Christ was carried in His own hands, when, referring to His own Body, He said: ‘This is My Body.’ For He carried that Body in His hands.”

According to Augustine, when Jesus held the bread at the Last Supper, He was holding Himself in His hands.

And yet, large swaths of Catholic do not believe that such a miracle takes place today in their parishes when their priest, in persona Christi, consecrates the host.

Of course, their pope most certainly believes it. And perhaps their new pope, Leo XIV—student, scholar, and son of Augustine—can help return them to this core doctrine of their Catholic Faith.

To that end, the faithful got an encouraging sign in the opening weeks of Leo XIV’s pontificate. In a powerful display, the new pope led the faithful in a Eucharistic procession through the streets of Rome during Corpus Christi Sunday on June 22. Faithful Catholics know that such processions are an uplifting gesture, dating back to the 13th century. Unfortunately, these processions are not done each year by every parish. Moreover, they have not been done consistently by the Bishop of Rome himself. When Pope Francis participated in a Corpus Christi procession in June 2024 (his poor health prohibited him from walking), it was the first time he had done so since 2017.

The new pope, however, led the procession himself. Leo XIV made no grand announcement and did not have the Vatican press office promote the event. He simply, silently did it. He led a 45-minute procession nearly a mile in 90-degree heat between the basilicas of St. Mary Major and St. John Lateran. The pontiff led a massive gathering of 20,000 pilgrims through the streets of Rome, hoisting high a golden monstrance encircled by precious stones.

In his homily at St. John Lateran, the pope said that “the procession” was a “sign” to the world that “we will feed on the Blessed Sacrament, adore Him, and carry Him through the streets. In doing so, we will present Him before the eyes, the consciences, and the hearts of the people.” They would do this both for “those who do not believe” and for those who believe, “that they may believe more firmly.”

On that, the son of Augustine quoted Augustine saying that “Christ is truly present” in the bread that the faithful see and consume: the Eucharist “in fact, is the true, real, and substantial presence of the Savior, who transforms bread into Himself in order to transform us into Himself.”

Here was the new pope teaching the faithful about the Real Presence. The head of the flock knows not only that the sheep need to be fed, they need to be led. They need to be taught. Catholics badly need catechesis on the Real Presence not only from their priests and Religious Ed classes and RCIA; they need it from the top—from the Vatican, the magisterium, the Holy Father.

As for Pope Leo’s first encyclical, well, there are countless worthy subjects demanding his attention. And yet, few seem as worthy as the precious Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. It is the source and summit of our faith. Here’s hoping and praying that we will get that faithful leadership from our Holy Father in the not too distant future.

Sometimes you just need a new word to codify one of the greatest days in the history of the universe. Paraskevidekatriaphilia is that word!

Ok, it’s not the easiest word to say four times while rubbing your tummy and patting your head, but it IS worth learning.

In essence, it describes the “love of Friday the 13th.” Why is this important, what with so many humans superstitious about the number 13, noting many tall buildings do NOT have a 13th floor, and even worse super skiddish about 13ths on Fridays.

Triskaidekaphobia is a condition describing “fear of 13”. Paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia bump it up to fear of Friday the 13s in general.

But paraskevidekatriaphilia is an eternally blessed word about none other than Jesus the Christ. The God~man behind the “message”.

We know, comparing three parts of the Scriptures, that Jesus actually died on Friday the 13th in the Hebrew month Abib.  Never heard this before?  Then why is 13 so despised by  the evil side of creation?   Is  it because the number 1 3 can signify the Trinity, the unitary Father, Son and Holy Spirit?  Maybe.

Later on in history, as the most destructive war in history (WWI) was winding down, the Virgin Mary appeared in the town named for Muhammad’s daughter, Fatima in Portugal on May 13, 1917. By the way, the same date Pope St John Paul the Great, 88 years later was shot and lived by a Islamist named Agca, hired to assassinate him by Bulgaria.   Interestingly, the Pope put the bullet in the crown of Mary, in a spot missing a jewel.

And Fatima still has significance today for various reasons.   But, more about ’13’ dates.  In 1917, for five more monthly 13s, Mary appeared in the Cova to three children, Lucia, Francisco and Maria.   Interestingly, NOT the first Friday or 2nd Tuesdays, but only 13s:   June 13, July 13, August 13, September 13 and then closing the apparition series in front of 70,000 witnesses, the Day the Sun Danced in Portugal.

The/Our Lady of the Apocalypse in John’ book of Revelations, and dating back to 40AD when she bilocated still on earth, Mary’s “frequent flyer” appearances always focus us on her Son, the God Man of the Eucharist who gave His all on Calvary; no different on Oct 13, 1917.  Her relayed messages are laser sharp and poignant, many growing in significance and value to a troubled world.

As many know, God is the Master Mathematician; He gives significance, ascribes value to different numbers in nature and His creation,as well as the revealed Word of the Bible and we need to sort out those that have relevance.   Some significant ones are allegorical; others, are time/ numerical specific.

Quick examples: 8 is the number of renewal, resurrection:  the 8th note in the major musical scale, repeats the 1st, becomes the harmonic.  Simply put, it renews the scale.  Eight humans were saved by the world’s largest zoo ship, the ark, Noah, wife and family.  8 also is Jesus’ number, in fact 888 IS His name in one of the two languages, Hebrew and Greek, that assign numbers to letters of their alphabet. Read the graphic!   Mary was conceived on March 8th and born on December 8th; note the white smoke electing Pope Leo XiV happened on May 8th, a Marian date.

17  is the number of victory often in the Scriptures and nature; there are 17 steps to the entrance/opening in the world’s largest object called Border Fire in the Middle that sits at the exact center of the world pointing 270 miles to the House of Bread (Beth’Lehem). It is also sometimes called Giza Pyramid, a story for another time.    Forty (40) often signifies a time of testing, “probation”, temptation such as Jesus’ time with His opponent (The Hebrewized Persian word from ‘satan’) in the desert while fasting.   The 40 years the Israelites wandered in the desert before entering the Land promised to them through Abraham: ALL the warrior class had to die before it was time to enter via Joshua.

12 is the number of governmental “perfection”, with 12 tribes governing the Israelites and 12 Apostles govern the newly instituted Church for the Bridegroom, in the old and new testament respectively.  10 is the number of perfection, with 7 referring to completeness such as 7 days in the week. 144 is 12 x 12 x1000..what does this mean?

3 is the Trinity number of Persons; 1 the number of God.   Dig deep; you can find more.

So Friday the 13th remains the luckiest day and date combo.  But, one more thing! The more you study Church history, the Magisterium and a good translation of the Scriptures, the more you can go deeper and ask for the Spirit’s guidance, you will see God’s incredible ‘multi’ layering truth and facts for His good purposes.

Note this:  Multiple layered meanings are COMMON. One other ’13’ style number to mention comes post Resurrection: 153.  The intriguing thing is this number of the fish caught at Jesus’ urging, factors down to 3 x 3 x 17=153.

It also is the sum of  the first 17 numbers (1+2+3+4+5…+17)  probably emphasizing this is the Trinity’s formula for victory. Coincidence?   I believe more likely God~incidence.

“Translated” you get Trinity times Trinity times Victory.   In Biblical writings, 17 often refers to actual Victory.   Wise Church fathers have chewed on the significance of 153 for years, but suppose it IS the final gift Jesus left the Church:  the vast numbers of “fish” who will be caught to live forever in paradise?   Far fetched?  Maybe, but realize God’s Universe, the Eucharistic Renaissance, Salvation History are intricately designed, created and fall into place in various ways over time.   We have to be careful about running amok with biblical numbers study but take a short breath:

17 – SEVENTEEN symbolizes VICTORY, RESTORATION, and SPIRITUAL PERFECTION

The number 17 could mean ‘spiritual perfection’ as the sum of 10 (representing law and responsibility) and 7 (representing spiritual completeness), 17 signifies a perfect spiritual order.

– Resurrection and new beginnings: The sum of its digits (1+7=8) connects it to the concept of resurrection and new life.  This might be a stretch but as mentioned above, 888 is Jesus’ name and 8 the Savior’s number.

Biblical References associated with the number 17:

– The flood began on the seventeenth day of the second month, signifying a new beginning and God’s judgement (Gen 7:11).
– The ark rested on Mount Ararat on the seventeenth day, marking the end of the flood and the start of a new era for humanity (Gen 8:4).
– In Genesis 17, God changes Abram’s name to Abraham and institutes circumcision as a covenant sign.
– Exodus 12:42: The Israelites depart Egypt on the 17th day of the first month, marking their liberation and journey towards the Promised Land.
– The book of Esther, which foreshadows God’s deliverance, is the 17th book of the Bible. Hmm?
– Jesus Christ was resurrected on Nisan 17, symbolizing His victory over death.  (I contend it was Nisan/Abib 15, but the discussion continues.)
– St. Paul lists 17 things that cannot separate us from the love of Christ, emphasizing the completeness and security of God’s love (Rom 8:35-39).

Back to calendaring, a common trait of humans, parents and life.

Quick look at charted days, ie calendars.

Today’s Chabad calendar system belongs to the Jews and Israel, but it doesn’t line up well with the Gregorian calendar.  Reason is it is based on the lunar movements while Gregorian follows close to the solar year, which is 365.242 days.  Chabad is in year 5785 currently, obviously NOT the same.  Also, notice,  the Church celebrates the conception of Jesus on the date He was announced to Mary via Gabriel; the date was March 25

Practically and biologically, it represents 9 months from the Annunciation to the Birth of Christ in the House of Bread, Bethlehem on Dec 25th; you may have heard that a human being’s gestation is 9 months.   Imagine the overlay of St Bernadette, the poor innocent ignorant French girl who freaked out her local priest by telling him what Mary told her, when asked who she was.

“I am the Immaculate Conception” in French is “Je suis l’Immaculée Conception.”.  Yet, the exact words Bernadette repeated multiple times to herself after Mary revealed her name was “Que soy era Immaculada Concepciou”, in her own French dialect ; the priest was dumbfounded upon hearing this.  Note that St Bernadette had NO CLUE what the name meant, though the Pope had just stated this doctrine in 1854, 3 years before.  MORE ominous was the date of this latest Miriam/Mary reveal:   March 25, 1858.

Please understand Jesus was ‘born to die”, known to the Father from all eternity past. On the Gregorian charts, the date we recognize is March 25th, same as the Annunciation of Jesus’ incarnation, the same as the reveal of Mary’s being conceived without sin.   ALL Godincidences, not chance.

Yet, based on three Scriptures, in the lunar Jewish calendar, Jesus died on Friday the 13th month Abib.  Also, amazingly, since Jews recognize the next day as sundown approaches, a strong case can be made Jesus, both His institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper and the Crucifixion occurred on the exact same day. Friday the 13th.  Recall, the Jewish elders were hyper about getting Jesus off the cross before sunset, basically the Sabbath Passover event, so is all fits like a jigsaw puzzle.

Incredible?  How about this: Mary’s birth without sin, Jesus sinless birth, the promise Jesus will Eucharistically remain with His Catholic Church thru time’s end and His proving His obedience to the Father for ALL the sins of the world by dying a horrible death on wood, are INEXTRICABLY LINKED.  Of course, the Resurrection, REDEEMED the Promise on Sunday, the third day after, on the 15th day of Abib.

In a very real sense, Mary’s apparitions “codify” so much of the Truth, yet so often we Church leaders misses the miraculous and commit ‘unforced errors’, totally unnecessary.  But God IS patient by sending his prophets, old and new Testament.

Jesus wants ALL to come to a happy eternity and He dispenses His Mercy to those who need it the most.  Ever hear of Helen Kowalska or St. Faustina, the Divine Mercy messager?

So many ways God has reached out to us, as He does daily with Mass and the Eucharist.  I will boldly say, we are IN the Eucharistic Renaissance so needed in our battered world filled with bizarre ideologies and lies.  “Where evil abounds, GRACE abounds more”>

Or the 12 promises to St Margaret Mary Alocoque from Jesus.  St Lucia, the visionary with the 3 secrets of Fatima from Mary. Soooo many Eucharistic miracles from Lanciano to the incorrupt.

But, God did NOT restrict His messages to Mary, to the Scriptures nor humans.   I believe a great truth missed today is that God built a giant message center, packed with facts and truth but mainly pointing 270 miles north east from the exact center of  the world, skirting the Middle Earth Sea (no not LOTR) and vectoring through the City of David, the birthcity and place of the Messiah.

God DESIGNED the seasons, the universe for mankind and to use every means to point out eternal Truth.  We just mentioned March 25th, conceivably the actual Spring Equinox, ie the first day of Spring in ages past.  OK, you might think “Len, you are going too far and the aluminium hat is sagging”, but:   At the Spring Equinox, the center of the world’s Giza, most accurate device, stone or concrete,  even today to the four Cardinal directions, has ZERO shadow at high noon. It becomes a visible from the moon, beacon of sorts, indicating an eternal event we call the Crucifixion.  Yet, one date for sure, it lost its brilliance (long before the 1303ad earthquake made it susceptible to stone thieves)…

Except one Friday the 13th of Abib (corresponding to Gregorian’s March 25), for three hours there was NO SUN as well as NO SHADOW.  The time ‘the sun stood still as Jesus was dying for all humanity.

Annunciation. Last supper Institution of the Eucharist. The Crucifixion.  Mary’ reveal to St Bernadette of Soubirous     Every renewal of the spring for millennia.    God’s clock architecture is perfect as well as His well placed compass and time machine.  Time machine?  Explain that! In a few minutes we will lay out why Giza is a Catholic icon yet not celebrated.

So the next time in pleasant conversation, someone brings up paraskevidekatriaphilia, just smile and say “Wasn’t that a remarkable and perfect love by the Son of God, the lover one Friday the 13th!”

On the feast of St Callixtus I and Charlie Kirk’s birthday, Drew Mariana had renowned meteorologist Anthony Watts on his show discussing the earth’s atmosphere sometimes referred to as androgenic or CO2 influenced climate change. Great and timely segment.

The saddest thing, in our misinformed, pseudoscience grabbing population, we are demonstrating a level of scientific ignorance despite massive improvements in technology.   Our Church isn’t too far ahead, even noting so many discoveries and inventions came from priests over the centuries.

Let’s talk $2 bills.   For 30 years, I do this simple $2 challenge with small groups, usually 2-4 people, from students to doctors (once did it at Kaiser hospital with nurses & MDs), church goers, at restaurants, classrooms etc. It’s a fun little exercise that brings disbelief from the crowd of 4 and witnesses who gather.

Script is simple:  I ask a basic question:

“How much CO2 is there in this glass jar (or similar receptacle)? 

I just scooped up a jar full of air in the room (it can be done in homes, Relevant Radio chapels, on the beach, anywhere on earth).  I tell the contestants we counted them out and there are 2500 air molecules; everyone gets a guess, write them down if possible,

What’s your guess:  HOW many are carbon dioxide molecules?)   

Motivation is: whoever gets the closest to the right answer wins the $2

Anthony Watts will have fun with this as will Drew; I should send them “kits”; no grant money from your tax dollars is required but it gets results.   And the Eurekas! help dislodge brain fog when the lightbulbs light up and a realization sets in.

There are so many unforced errors in public science these days, but as more humans seem to distrust and discount what they’ve been told about global warming, clump of cells, gender maneuverability and more, the less humans TRUST government and science leaders.  Even our recent popes have somewhat accepted the Algorean Heresies, welcoming John F Kerry, river cloth waving Arnold Schwarzenegger and other Climate Chicken Littles in to the Emerald err Vatican City.  Yet, the truth is out there, in fact in that little jar and $2 bill.

Now Drew, before you think I’m just a wacky remote osmosis salesman, what’s your guess?    1000, 500 (1/5), half at 1250?

They believe CO2 is melting the planet, even our current pope says climate change is immutable as a scientific law (something I’ve never said, at the science fairs we did at our ranch that science NEVER is wrong or changes).

Anthony/Drew/Everyone   What is your answer?  _______     

Reality:  It is ONE uno (1) molecule of the 2500 random sample.    What? It can’t be!!

My contestants rarely believe me until I show them using simple basic math and their smart phone.   The saddest thing is, from smartest to lowest IQ, rarely do they knock it out of the park.

My definition of carbon dioxide might differ from NOAO or NASA’s even yours.

 “Carbon dioxide or CO2 is the most essential yet trace gas on earth.  It IS God’s gift to man and womankind; it propagates plant growth (the greening effect), critical to photosynthesis, without CO2 we basically DIE of malnutrition.   Without it, Dr Pepper would have no fizzle, and our cardiopulmonary systems would be impeded. In a REAL greenhouse, where heat is actually TRAPPED unlike the nonsense that our radiative heat transparent atmosphere has glass walls and ceilings, forcing global warming, which it doesn’t.

In a REAL GREENHOUSE, trapped heat and allowed in sunlight fosters plant growth even in winter; NOT every world location is temperate southern California: at least this century.

   Wow! Nitrogen is at 78%, Oxygen at 21%, Argo a drop and CO2 a pinprick, about 414 parts per million worldwide.    The TRUTH IS out there and facts can be inconvenient, even for the heretic who spreads the Algorean heresy to the detriment of the world’s poor.

Sorry Supremes, most importantly it is NOT POLLUTION even if Jumanji Jackson Brown (Harvard trained Supreme who can’t define what a woman is )’s SCOTUS, in 2007 said so:

WASHINGTON (April 2, 2007) – After a four-year court battle, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled today 5-4 that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping emissions are “air pollutants” under the Clean Air Act, and that the U.S. government already has authority to start curbing them.  The Supreme Court’s decision, in Massachusetts v. EPA, repudiates the Bush administration’s do-nothing policy on global warming. For years, the administration has denied carbon dioxide is an air pollutant that EPA can control under the Clean Air Act.  “Today the nation’s highest court has set the White House straight. Carbon dioxide is an air pollutant, and the Clean Air Act gives EPA the power to start cutting the pollution from new vehicles that is wreaking havoc with our climate,” said David Doniger, NRDC’s attorney in the case. In 2003, EPA ruled that it had no power to curb emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping chemicals. Today the High Court struck down that ruling stating in a majority opinion written by Justice John Paul Stevens. Justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Stephen Breyer joined the majority opinion. Chief Justice John Roberts filed the dissenting opinion, in which Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito joined. The Court ordered EPA to make a fresh decision on curbing heat-trapping pollution from new cars, SUVs, and trucks –…”

and the rest is History.  How stupid can we be!  Full article at    (https://www.nrdc.org/press-releases/supreme-court-heat-trapping-carbon-dioxide-pollution)

Drew! Try the $2 challenge on Nick, Fr Rocky, the aging Mr Madrid, John, Glen and Sarah etc.   I copied Anthony already.

If $2 is too much, use $1 but the 2 has the illusion of freedom and blessings, on the reverse.  The only bill with the 250th anniversary of our founding coming up.

I know our Pope of Hope, deep inside, loves the Church and means well, but some of his advisory team is punking him, scamming him, diverting him from REAL methods to climate justice AND helping the poor

I have yet to hear the Pontifical Society of Smart Scientists even mention this decade’s solar COOLING with less sunspot activity.  Dr Valentina, a brilliant atmospheric physicist calls it the Dalton or Maunder Minimum redo.    Instead, we turn giant ice cubes into holy solid water.   Anthony’s article is interesting…

Leo XiV can be historic in actually NOT using climate as a means of Marxist control, but in really helping the poor 3rd world countries. How?

Take for example the BEST example IS methane, natural gas, with its super high energy coefficient, transportability (available in two of  three states of matter, gas, liquid)  resource availability (trillions of acre-feet), cheap and most important: VERSAtility.

3rd world economies, if we take the environmental wacky climate change chicken little handcuffs off, will explode their living standards, food and water will be bountiful and Bill Gates can go home.

STOP DeMonizing another God gift.  The chemical formula of natural gas is primarily methane (the stuff Holland Dikesmiths are blaming on cows and too much Nitro), which is represented as CH₄. It may also contain small amounts of other hydrocarbons like ethane (C₂H₆) and propane (C₃H₈) depending on its source 

With it, you can cook, run vehicles like cars and trucks, heat homes, generate electricity, whether big city or remote villages.  It goes hand in hand with innovations in water retrieval happening by many ministries and companies that know: water is the most important resource to keep humans alive. THEN comes food.

TIME TO DISENTANGLE SCIENTIC FRAUD FROM GOOD SCIENCE.  Tell Kerry (yes I know he served in Vietnam before marrying the ketchup heiress) to go home.

It’s not just climate change that is perverted; so many other areas, those who can control the narrative control the Truth, even if the Truth is 100% wrong.

Example: One of Drew’s callers mentioned a specific chemical that emanates from Jersey and Bessie’s flatulence biologics: yet, Netherland Nitrogen, chemically is no different than American or Newfoundland.    CH4

Nitrogen and methane are related, yet the land of Dikes and tulips wants farmers to stop all that nitrogen release, even though NITROGEN IS THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION in the atmosphere, coming in at 78%.   Yes, 78%, 78 molecules in every 100 air molecules, are nitrogen.    Now, folks, you could cover every square inch of 16,158 square mile Holland with milk producing cows and their exhaust gases wouldn’t put a dent in our atmosphere. Methane AND Nitrogen are a part of God’s chemical program, just as CO2 is.

Why this nuttiness by so called “scientists?”

Anthony is totally right:  the allure of grant dollars has perverted scientific ethics but there is hope these climate change and atmospheric shenanigans can be reformed, and dislodged from the many government control freaks and the cabals that can’t even recognize we have two sexes/genders and only two, just as a woman has a simple yet profound definition.   The $2 Challenge, with its variants, is an amazing way to wake up the unwoke scientifically, and the lemmings at Harvard Hamas clubs equally.

Believe it or not, keeping this short and will deal with other climate justice league issues later.  After all, the universe is only 553 sextillion miles wide and an electron lasts only a few yottayears (10 to the 27th power)

Your comments are always welcome; please email back how it went with your $2 challenge; I’m collecting the stories.   Most scientific truths ARE simple; after all, God did the infinitely complex design work and creation. And we all know: He saved the best for last; after a muddy Adam, He built the most beautiful, exceedingly complex being, that was able to produce hyperevolved beings, from one cell to 50 trillion at organic labs worldwide.  Give or take 280 days. IF only we realized this, Demoncrats!     So, if you are desperate to see human evolution, ie change from a single cell to voila! Xavier Ruben King on a Thursday Oct 9th, you don’t need to dig up Charles Darwin 2 win. It happens EVERYWHERE on the planet as long as no planned parenthood baby killers are nearby, chopping kids into resalable parts.

Thank you for your read. 

Have fun stumping your colleagues; the $2 truth is the biggest secret it seems that people ignore at OUR peril.   Climate changes every hour and our contribution is zilch.   We couldn’t impact nature until the atom bomb.  And since WWII, still nothing but hope and blessings with no end of world launches as of yet.   

The Eucharistic Renaissance is unfurling NOW.

Holy Family arrives in Cairo at a Jewish settlement that dates back to Alexander the Great

Hints for the 2500 air sample quiz

Open letter to all our bishops, priests and interested laity about the oppressed American Catholics in your dioceses often called “homeschoolers”.

Cardinal McElroy, I pray your days in our Nation’s Capitol are blessed. And like you, your grace, I was homeschooled from birth, the first of 11 kids, conceived in Chicago and born in Pasadena CA.  No one thinks this way, apparently but me, but Mr and Mrs McElroy didn’t wait 5 years to begin to teach prayers, inculcate the growing Robert Mc and his four siblings with the “deposit of faith”.

A closer read of CCC 2223 shows brick & mortar education attached to a saint’s building like St Thomas or Christ Cathedral is NOT the only way the deposit is withdrawn from, shared and “invested” in the next generation to carry out the Great Commission.

Are you aware, Cardinal, similar to Nigerian Christians, Harvard Jews and other groupings of humans, Catholic homeschoolers face unnecessary bias from other members of the Church, society, the public ed machine and even extended family and neighbors.  However, the saddest is being dismissed like the “unwashed” poor outside the moat with the draw bridge closed tight.

At birth, you were given the name Robert, reflecting your mother’s first name; and Walter and Roberta, like good Catholic parents, began home schooling you from February 5, 1954 onward, as part of a five children educational cooperative of love.  My journey on earth started two years previous, when my German dad married my Polish mom in Chicago and my conception was completed 2000 miles away in Pasadena, CA at St. Luke’s.   Like mood rings, pet rocks and two churches named St Callistus, St Luke’s is gone forever.

Why the detail?   Education, whether in Jesus’ time or the 50s/60s, or today, is NOT monolithic BUT it is essential should we desire ALL Catholics to attain heaven.  And today’s Catholic ed offerings during this Eucharistic RENAISSANCE, loaded with converts, reverts and spiritual renewal, like new Church members,  is exploding.  With or without the DC Cardinal’s help.

I believe your family, Cardinal McElroy, was involved in a local parish and presumably, like myself, you attended your parish Catholic school if Roberta did not continue primary homeschooling after age 4 or 5 OR you went to public schooling.   As it were, my 10 sibs and I attended St Anthony Claret, Rosary and Service, basically 128 years of Catholic parish and Catholic high education!

Reflect back at your homeschooling family inquisition, September 2024  What might have been missing in your Presbyteral council’s 13 -1 decision to ban “home school Students” is understanding this reality:

ALL Catholic kids become students at birth…basic science meets catechetical guidelines of Scripture and the CCC.

Maybe the San Diego diocese does not understand or believe such, but as a 40 year veteran of Catholic home based schooling, I am hopeful for a resurrection in compassion for a growing, thriving part of the San Diego and Imperial county diocese.

With your promotion to DC, Cardinal McElroy, this remains unsettled business in your former diocese and is something needed to be addressed in many dioceses.  St Jerome coined the phrase “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”.   Think about its derivation.

But just maybe, the progression of the hierarchical generations might resolve this unsettling unsettled banishment: historically, you were ordained April 12, 1980; 80 days later, on July 1st, I began 33 years of 3 parish staff ministries as the youth minister at Msgr Scannell’s Orange County parish, St Callistus.  Now, St Callistus, both churches were razed and became two story homes, and St Callistus is represented in the basement of the new Christ Cathedral.   Point is, change happens and we need to adapt as much as possible to do St Therese’s focus, “save more souls.”   Each is precious.

The irony, Cardinal McElroy, at the same time you and I assumed these new roles, Cardinal McElroy, a 13 year old Catholic teen was fleeing communist Vietnamese oppression, escaping to a refugee camp in Malaysia and 5 years later, his family moved to San Diego.

I believe you know him, Cardinal: you were there when he was installed as the 7th bishop of San Diego, along with the excellent Cardinal Christophe and awesome Archbishop Gomez, to replace you on July 17, 2025: the most reverend bishop Michael Pham.

Your excellency, you might have seen the movie, Hidden Figures. The story hails from the 60s, a history not fable, of the struggles, racism and rejection black women experienced in working in the fledgling space program, trying to keep up with the Russians.

The Holy Family, even in Cairo, experienced the Holy Spirit’s guidance protecting them from Herod. Probably homeschooled Jesus abroad.

The colored women were the computers before computers, segregated to a basement 1/4 mile away from the engineers.  Among them, a once in a generation genius math whiz, Katherine G Johnson, faced incredible prejudice, bias and even hatred.

For example, it took her an hour to hit the restroom once promoted to the engineering core at NASA; her supervisor, acted by Kevin Costner was miffed at Taraji Henson, playing Johnson, until he found out there were no “colored women’s bathrooms” in his building.  Next morn, Costner took a sledge hammer to the signs and said there are only bathrooms, for all colors.   The movie is worth seeing because if the black Johnson had not been allowed in, her expertise in trajectory and analytical geometry prior to IBMs landing at NASA, it easily could have meant John Glenn’s death with an UnFriendly 7 flight missing the magic window of re-entry. 20 sq miles is a small target in a big ocean.

Believe it or not, Cardinal McElroy, this level of prejudice is evident today in too many parishes and dioceses regarding the “unwashed” Catholic home educated kids. YET, majority of Bishops welcome and help this movement toward education as a lifestyle.

Your “solution” to your Presbyteral Council’s vote (I’ll bet not one of them was homeschooled or gave a beaver’s dam) was to ban Catholic families from using facilities their parents and grandparents helped pay for, let alone the same 60s that saw accelerated building of parish schools.

In fact, due in large part that nuns did not receive living wages as today, the excellent parish school teachers have to feed kids, pay mortgage, car etc.  The schools prospered while kids were being born (higher birth rate) as well as the massive influx of people from other countries (officially called ‘illegal aliens’) over the last 4 decades, especially here in the formerly Golden State.

Now, hold on to your miter a moment, this is NOT hyperbole.  The current San Diego parish school parent(s) who complained do not “own” the buildings their kids inhabit 180 days a year for 6 hours per diem. And, you must agree, the homeschool families have equal rights to use the facilities when school is not in session, just like the public school elementary religious ed and public and private high school students occupy facilities in the evenings.  It is called “evangelization” and catechetical training. I was a DRE for many years…

Cardinal McElroy: It is your policy as of Sept 11, 2024 (appropriate date!) having these four points:

Your Point 1

“Catholic teaching makes clear that parents are the first teachers of their children in faith and in choosing the educational setting for their children.”   This is a well stated doctrine that reflects CCC 2223 and following:

“”The procreation of children brings about the duty of their moral and spiritual formation. Therefore, the
parents’ right and duty to educate children is primordial and inalienable. Parents must see their children as
children of God and educate them in God’s law.

Parents fulfill this duty by creating a home filled with tenderness, respect, and fidelity, in which the virtues of
self-denial and sound judgment are taught. Parents (primarily by their own good example) must teach their
children to subordinate material desires to spiritual ones. “He who loves his son will not spare the rod” (Sir
30:1). “Fathers, bring your children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord” (Eph 6:4).
In the home, parents must teach communal responsibilities, turning their children away from degrading
influences that ruin society.

Grace from the Sacrament (CCC 2225-2226)
By the sacrament of marriage, parents receive the grace to evangelize their children. They must initiate
them into the mysteries of faith and associate them with the life of the Church. A good family supports the
children’s faith throughout their life.

Parents must begin this education in faith in the earliest years. Family catechesis must precede and
accompany other forms of instruction. The parish is the privileged place for the family’s liturgical life and
catechesis (for children and parents).”

Cardinal McElroy! God bless you: 

Your Point 2:

The historic ministry of Catholic schools lies at the center of the Church’s educational mission.  In approaching the question of basing home school cooperatives in parishes, the vibrancy of our Catholic schools takes precedence. It must be recognized that the movement toward housing home school related activities in the parish will inevitably create the impression that the Church is endorsing a parallel educational model without the in-depth educational oversight that the Church carries out in its parochial school program.

Wow:  Can’t BOTH schooling methodologies be vibrant and excellent SIMULTANEOUSLY? Or are pastors and principals, unnecessarily so, fearful of competition?

God forbid, the world gets the impression that Catholic homeschooled kids, from which, undeniably, a higher number of ANSWERED priestly VOCATIONS comes from helping to PRESERVE the Church in America and the world, in a vocation desert today, that there is more than one way to successfully educate a child.

Catholic families that homeschool follow CCC2223 and ‘base’ their schooling primarily in the homes.  When a park or building is used for shared classes, like Physics, Math, Biology, theater, phys ed, natural sciences etc, the effort is IN the environment, whether Bishop owned facilities or parks, but not ‘based’there.  Parallel educational model?   In-depth educational oversight?  Huh?

For comparison, with all due respect, presbyterals, cardinals and bishops, for 40 years we homeschooled our 11 kids,

and immersed them in the three parishes Donna and I were on staff as YM, Youth Director, DRE etc.  Deja vu, we experienced the same mistrust of public school kids using the precious desks of the anointed parochial kids.

But we were intentional, diplomatic and helpful to the parish schools.  We respected the parochial school classrooms actively; we worked hard and well with the parish school staffs out of respect and realizing parish teachers need their rooms honored, left the way we found them.

We even photographed classrooms so that when we finished Tuesday nights, the rooms were picture perfect as much as possible, despite 350 kids using them.  We left notes and gifts; worked well together.   This is what CATHOLIC LEADERS and other parish ministries do for each other:  WE SUPPORT EACH AND THE OTHER.

Basic physics re: classroom space in time: there was no St Padre Pio bilocation; our programs were NOT at the same time as the parish schools’ schedules; YET, CARDINAL MCELROY AND BISHOP PHAM, neither are the current San Diego (and other bishoprics) homeschoolers asking to have half the desks while St Thomas Aquinas parish school is in session.

“Basing home school cooperatives” is a misnomer.  Pull up a bulletin: you have bingo, alcoholic anonymous, senior meetings, women’s prayer groups etc that use the parish facilities.   School buildings ARE multi-purpose in the event parish school administrations see the whole parish picture.

Imagine, how you sound Cardinal McElroy in your seemingly arrogant disregard for another way of teaching the next generation the Faith!   “It’s my way or the highway, you unwashed minions”  Funny, despite so many schools closings, and the creeping in of transmutilational heresies and acceptance of the death culture’s ideologies.  Time to look up and around, bishops!!  Your excellency, innovative educational scope and sequence, and methods are exploding and there IS room for more: things like hybrid, academies, charter Catholic and other sound educational offerings in most dioceses.

In my home diocese, blessed with homegrown Bishop Tim, Vietnamese gift Tom and Kevin Vann,  we have Cristo Rey, the Cedars school (with a Lebanese bent), a 5 parish consolidation called Pax Christi, multiple homeschool coops ‘based’ at welcoming parishes, as well as park settings.

Parents are NOT satisfied with the status quo and rightly so.  And YES we have excellent parish based schools, one of which I support in different ways though my youngest of 11 is now 22.   To quote Pax Christi’s Steve Cameron:

“It’s time for a new vision for Catholic school governance, which requires direct accountability, financial and technological sophistication and an investment in more innovative ways to educate and form children in Christ.” STEVE CAMERON CHAIRMAN, PAX CHRISTI ACADEMIES BOARD OF DIRECTORS” 

 Cardinals and bishops, Steve is a visionary helping parochial schools survive, stemming the tide of parish school closures; just as I at 73 remains active in Catholic education pushing for the godless CalifDeptofEd to take their talons off a mere $7777 per student for K-12 Calif families.  OK, $8000 like Ohio or even $6000 per kid per year will make a major difference.

  A mere pittance of the believe it or not, the 1/3 of a Trillion$$ given to government schools and state UTLA etc teachers’ unions to use as THEY, not PARENTS, see fit.   It’s working for my headmaster son in Ohio, with Chesterton Academy of St Joseph getting $8000 per student this year, taking obvious pressure off parents and improving the education picture

Cardinals, bishops, priests: imagine the massive RENAISSANCE of Catholic education should a St Norbert’s school receive $7777 per student for parents who choose this path.  Yes, I know patting pro baby killing/teen mutilation Dick Durbin on the head, or preaching the climate change fraud that CO2 is NOT God’s critical gift of life to the atmospheric and food ecosystem gets the blessed ice treatment in Rome…may seem more important, but IMAGINE if the USCCB pushed for ‘education climate change’ in all 50 states to actually HELP their parishioner parents get to use $8000 per desk per year at Our Lady of Recreation parish schools…or public or even the unwashed homeschoolers. 

If your fear homeschooling will take over, like my fave parish principal admitted to me, you are mistaken.  It’s too much work for most parents to undertake though the rewards are incredible.  In Calif:  $330,000,000,000 yearly taken from  Californian taxpaying parents, doesn’t belong to the green haired public school teachers’ aides who groom dysphoric 12 year olds into breastless cross sex druggies

…It BELONGS TO THE PARENTS but the godless have control in Sacramento. Too much control via President hopeful Newsom

Imagine if all our bishops and cardinals went bold, fearless and compassionate about fighting FOR their Catholic families’ rightly owed ed dollars (like Ohio, Arizona & others), how much more time you bishops would have to enjoy this Eucharistic Renaissance of True Presence and revert/convert explosion. 

Ask your neighborhood atmospheric physicist like Dr Valentina

Ok, you could still borrow the climate justice blue fabric river simulations for your own diocese but getting to the TRUTH and beyond our mutual “unforced errors” in the Catholic tennis court of life would ALSO explode.  God designed our 553 sextillion mile wide universe for man and womankind, not the reverse.  He made NO mistakes in designing the Krebs Cycle or the essential nature of carbon dioxide, let alone the 50 trillion celled humans, sacred from conception thru prebirth abortion or natural end.

Point of comparison: the Cincinatti diocese in the 1930s, almost a 100 years ago, worked hard to keep Catholic education for free, including schools for black students during the Depression.  It is eye opening to read some of the bishop’s communications to his parishes during those trying times in the late 1930s.   Summarily, he finally had to charge the basic parish schools a fee, and tried to keep the black counterpart schools for free soas to maximize the number of poor students getting a sound education.   Poverty is NOT an earmark of poor education: look at Dr Ben Carson who came from poverty and became the world’s most noted pediatric neurosurgeon separating siamese siblings.   The other, too often glossed over indicator of poor study and success, is rampant FATHERLESSNESS since LBJ paid welfare to black mothers as long as the fathers did not live in the home.   Money talked in the 1930s, as it did in the 60s with the rabidly racist Lyndon Johnson who figured his grand delusion would keep Negroes voting Democrat forever.  One wonders if Mr Liquid Gender Newsom got the idea for his Prop 50 Dem politicians 4ever from the Texas senator turned president.

CONTROLLING PARISHIONERS  Beloved Church leaders: do you believe it is your role and responsibility to be life long arbiters of parishioner relationships? Do you force various ministries at the parish ministry fair to make their participants intermingle?  What exactly is this elusive “unity” you proclaim?

Cardinal McElroy, like many leaders, hopes for “unity” in their parishes.  But, apparently, many are NOT aware homeschooling parents/families have relationships with other members of their parish, including parish schools, Scouting, fiestas etc.  Whether a cardinal, priest, bishop or like I served as, youth minister and director of religious ed, we shouldn’t be the arbiter of which Catholic family builds relationships with others in the diocese and parishes. IT HAPPENS naturally.  After all, there are plenty of interparish, as well as intra-parish events that bring all Catholics together. But your bias against homeschooling families, already involved IN your parish, is outrageous.

Must you replace the yellow Star of David our Jewish brothers and sisters experienced last century and now live anew, with your Dirty Feet patches on the chests of the “unwashed” barefoot homeschooling families required when they set foot on your hallowed parish grounds?   I can hear how outrageous that I would bring this up: if the shoe fits, wear it.   Bias against any Diocese class of Catholics is more than sick: it is not what Jesus would do.   We are called to help each other, well formed corporal and spiritual works of mercy help us help.   

Cardinal McElroy:  let OUR people go!    Please recommend to Bishop Michael Pham that he reconsider locking out the unwashed Catholic home educated.  The buildings don’t mind more joyful students; the science labs can be replenished, since homeschool coop science classes BRING THEIR OWN MATERIALS.  We subsidize parish schools (like Steve Cameron’s work in raising funds to resurrect dying schools) but homeschoolers are asking zip except to be allowed to use facilities already paid for and available when charity and love prevails.   See Hidden Figures and you will understand it is a metanoia of the heart most needed to right this grievous wrong making homeschooled kiddoes 2nd class citizens.

Your Point 3:

“For Catholic children who do not attend Catholic schools, the parish should provide an integrated faith formation program which is normative for sacramental preparation in the parish…”   But, homeschoolers DO attend Catholic schools, WITH or without coops not on sacred parish school grounds while DREs work tirelessly to provide for sacramental prep and continued religious education.

Your next point:    “All students within the parish should participate in the same program together as a sign of the integrity of the community of faith.”     interesting concept, but what of the various languages, different needs, the typically Spanish and Vietnamese, as well as English due in part to immigrant communities:  They are parallel experiences usually with separate masses in the venacular.   Well, all except Latin which has found disfavor with God only knows who.  Must be the fear of those brass knuckle rosary carrying 90 year olds packing the empty pews during the week accosting those who don’t darken the Church during weekdays.

You must know, a parish based school IS its own community, noting some parent must have raised the issue of the unwashed using THEIR buildings… and desks. It is a blessing that students build camaraderie and friendships, but those most often reside in the school NOT the parish.  I can report homeschool homes in the neighborhoods often becoming after school hubs for kids from both parish and public schools whose parents work later shifts.

A bit like the nutty black reparations craze signed into law by President Candy Newsom, few are alive today when the buildings and desks were first paid for by previous classroom using parents, most often. 

The current parish school principal, teachers and students are ‘borrowing’ the facilities; like the Sistine Chapel, they belong to the parish NOT to the graduating class of 2029 etc.   And education in the parish (again CCC time) is a support, offered at grade K or 1, or 6th when the kids are older, or high school, to families purchasing the school’s services.   I graduated Servite in 1970, at $400 per year, doubling since freshmen days.  Trust me, you know, with the loss of underpaid nuns and the need for hard working school teachers to eat and feed their kids, it’s not $400 anymore. Therein lies an important roadblock that IS correctable!

Sounds great on paper but please think it through. Whether at St Callistus (1980-95), St Anthony (1995-2007 until parish school closed and parish ended English Religious Ed) and then Holy Family Cathedral (2008-2012 until shortly after my wife Donna died at age 48), we often heard this:

“why does  my high school teen have to come to Confirmation class when she gets religion (Mater Dei, Servite, Rosary etc.) all day?”     I almost made it into a plaque for the meeting rooms and hall.   An sadly, too often it was the 8th grade parish school graduates in Freshman year feeling their oats and whining to mom.  I’ve always been saddened we use 10th grade confirmation, as if the graces are not needed in a rapidly deviant world until then, to KEEP them in the parish.  Except those YM programs that face up to the challenge.

Your Point continues “The Church blesses all of its children equally and blesses equally all of the choices that parents have made for their children.”   Sorry, non sequitur: home based educated kids HELP parishes by altar serving and other aspects of ministry and want to be a part; in other counties, I see this since we help (youngest is now 22) assisting at cooperatives at parks, some SoCal parishes etc.   Example after example is available.

YOUR Point 4

“The Diocese supports the decision of a growing number of parents to choose home-schooling for their children…”

‘  Really? then why do you treat them like pagans, separate but unequal.  They aren’t demanding anything more than recognition and occasional space, co-existence with the other educational formats in a parish and diocese.  And to be left alone much like parish classrooms need to be free of unnecessary interruptions. Need an example? I know a mom of 13 kids whom a jealous neighbor turned her in to Child Protective Services for homeschooling her kids, claiming neglect which turned out to be an outrageous lie.   

Bishops, priests, principals, lay folks: people go to JAIL for exercising CCC2223 now only in somewhat civilized USA but many countries throughout the world that demand government schools are supreme.  In the People’s Republic of California, (by calling it the PRCalif you automatically think this author is an anti government survivalist but furthest from reality), constant vigilance is important as we have had to do for 4 decades.   Do any parish schools require a Parish School Legal Defense fee every year?

When Donna and I began homeschooling in the early 80s, our annual payment to the Home School Legal Defense Fund was insurance for those illicit CPS visits; I stopped paying the $100 fee a few years ago now that my last 22 year old is almost finished with college.  HSLDA still gets an occasional donation because its cause is JUST and CRITICAL to keeping this option open.  Does the USCCB or various dioceses ACTIVELY defend and encourage Catholic families to consider this home based option or are we too provincial that we only defend and promote the classic brick & mortar schools?   Ignorant bias is dangerous, whether as Pope or pauper, bishop or parent.  Math whiz Katherine’s battle to save the early space program is legendary yet her hour long race, in rain and shine, to relieve herself at a colored only restroom located only in the colored only black organic calculator’s basement is proof:  our rush to judgement, voting 13 to 1 to protect the polished desks of K-8 classrooms from the ilk of Catholic parishioners taking the “less traveled” road.

Need more examples?  Just ask.  I have plenty of the prejudicial treatment homeschool families have experience over decades.

Ahh, the Ace in the hole, total inanity:  “At the same time this (diocesan) support does not include a right for basing integral elements of home-schooling programs in parish settings. Home schooling is not inherently a ministry of the parish.”    …shall I wait to throw up or is this the best time?    So raising future saints is not inherently a ministry of the parish.  Thank God the Cardinal was appointed new digs; maybe there is a chance for sanity in San Diego and Imperial Counties.

Cardinal Mc, bishops, pope Leo, etc:  Homeschooling is NOT a crime (hat tip Michelle Malkin) nor simply a choice, it is a lifestyle worth considering and you agree apparently by your nominal support for same. 

I hope Bishop Pham understands better than you did Cardinal McElroy. 

This treatment of the presbyteral “gang of 13”, yet meanwhile other bishops did NOT force on homeschoolers… but you’ve left town, your hands are washed clean.

I agree the parish model needs help, but to despise active engaged devout Catholic families is like cutting off your left leg so the right one gets more attention: there is ROOM for both and in fact the parishes work so much better together when the hierarchy challenges the baseless complainers not active educators, and fosters this elusive unity everyone talks about.    Frankly, we are more united than some leaders believe.

IF a principal or school parent complains and it is valid, deal with it is a must.  But you already admit it:   Brick and mortar classrooms can be and are used by other groups, even outside community groups but not homeschooling cooperatives.   Insane, no? It’s okay to do yoga and Eastern mysticism, but Catholic kids not registered in the parish school are banished, the bane of a bishop or pastor’s busy day.

Then I ask, why is homeschooling erupting nationwide year over year?  The reason homeschooling is erupting is due in part to the way we pulled off unforced errors during Covid locking out faithful parishioners for the Dr. Pfaucinstein ridiculous anti science response banning HCQ, Ivermectin and proven treatments to get a Nobel prize in mRNA EUA..

Notably, the damage still reeling from the Pentecost 2021-2023 LOCKOUTS that Bishop Pham today has made a good tradition of celebrating different classes on (not races, since ALL come from the same race no matter where in the world people call home: go to a parish fiesta/festival for proof.  Whether carrying out John 6 or at parish fiestas, we are “here for the Food”) and cultures IN the parishes and Diocese.   Face the reality: we revive dying dogs or drowning non swimmer kids, but WE ARE IN THE EUCHARISTIC RENAISSANCE long echoed by Mary’s frequent flyer visitations across the world AND the centuries.

Just as the Vietnamese refugees needed American families to be sponsored, homeschoolers are kindred to the rest of the preteen/teen spectrum of learners.  At ALL different levels.  Frankly, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it: adapt and accommodate.  Zounds of the  simple solution to male and female: there “ain’t but two genders” so there ain’t a good reason to whack off breasts and penises so death gender cult doctors can buy a new Mercedes or yacht.

Also, as people/families become more variant in their work styles and concern about the culture, the homeschool numbers are rising and the Church (many bishops already see the benefit and rights) is growing,  benefitting from same. Hierarchy, embrace this blessing and stop detracting the essence.

What a time we are in!  As reverts and converts scream higher and due to the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk the evil world down under is taking note and boldness, fearlessness and truth is had by all, Catholics and non.

So, if Catholic home schooling is NOT a benefit to the parish nor a ministry to it, then why are the kids/teens most often the most respectful, most engaged Catholic young people?  Do you recommend they become Mormon or Baptist? 

Why, for example, do I provide an annual scholarship for St Norbert graduating 8th graders?   Why? Because ALL parish members are important, whether they are the brass knuckle rosary Latin Mass ladies routinely being herded out like a milder form of Latin Auschwitz across America?  or the implied ‘tolerance’ of surgical transmutilation breast removal, vagina destruction and excessive circumcision of male body parts so we appear as decent social justice warriors.  Bishops, this VIOLATES the basics of CCC2223 as well, interfering in parents’ right to SAY NO to sex drugs pumped into the two sexes/genders.  Time to WAKE UP? you tell us.

Yet another “unforced error” one might think:  all of a sudden, the devout Latin choosing families and mainly seasoned daily Mass citizens are banned from Latin masses; polling my wife and others, those brass knuckle 80 something rosary ladies probably are the “most powerful prayer warriors” in our broken but healing Eucharistic Renewed Church today; yet since the pews are soooo packed like European cathedrals (tongue firmly in cheek), we can winnow out those nuisance old ladies.   I’ll bet God is really pleased bishops!

Also, people expect solid truth including science.  Any common sense intelligent scientist knows we are in an atmospheric worldwide cooling trend, low sunspot activity, less heat world wide (aka Dalton/Maunder Minimum..ask any atmospheric physicist) and that trace essential carbon dioxide is THE lifevsdeath GIFT from God that feeds us. Sorry Harvard Law Jumanji Jackson Brown, once you figure out what a woman truly is, rescind the stupid belief CO2 is POLLUTION that the Supreme Court ruled.

Pope Leo means well, but we need to separate climate fact from fiction. Instead of speaking the truth, that the godless secularist culture of death’s politicians want to control the means of production by limiting a beneficial trace gas, we entertain in Rome the likes of JohnFingKerry, Arnold Swartzenneger and the other AlGorean Heretics.   Does Leo XiV’s invited  Climate clowns know that the Islamist Fulani are using climate change to justify killing Nigerian Catholics and burning cities, excused by their government?

Probably not; busy rehearsing blue waved simulated river fabrics and ice blessings.

Wanna really help the poor re: climate?

Here’s a freebie: why not proclaim the gospel of inexpensive natural gas (God’s tremendous gift especially today), with trillions of acre feet of low/no polluting high energy coefficient gas stuck in the ground (even in fallen away Mr. Liquid gendered gov Newsom’s Calif.) that will TRANSFORM THE ECONOMIES AND LIVES OF 3RD WORLDERS AROUND THE GLOBE? 

It works for electricity generation, cooking, heating, fueling cars…instead of waving blue river flags for Climate Justice in Castle Gandalfo.    But all these “climate change” activists keep their unscientific biases in their frontal lobe, while 3rd worlders could improve their lifestyles considerably and CHEAPLY, i might add.

Riddle: why is Leo XiV blessing solid blocks of water with bishops and Schwatzenegger waving blue fabric like a theatre rendition of the Blue Danube? No idea!     But, at least the good results of the baby killing and transbreast teen mastectomy cult fan Dickie Durbin fiasco showed bishops are thankfully becoming bolder in sticking up for truth and justice.   Fearlessness is NEEDED!   

We love our bishops and they need to carry the mantle.

To paraphrase what the NEC gestapo chief of Indianapolis football police told me face to face on  July 19, 2024, as he threatened me with arrest for giving Tony Melendez a permitted hug, if I didn’t leave immediately 2 days in:  “what were you thinking, partner?“.   Yes, Billy the renegade Indianapolis security boss, unknown even to Bishop Cozzens and the NEC intelligentia, destroyed my wife Mary and I’s long awaited visit to the Eucharistic Congress using words right out of Orwellian 1984: “Len, if we did not give you permission (to hug Tony on stage), we would have tackled you”.     Huh?   

So, to finally answer Billy Bob’s question 15 months later, I was thinking that Tony, a 25 yr friend and co-traveler to 3 world youth day pilgrimages had just lost his only son to suicide and his birthday was days away: Tony could use a big but brief hug so I got permission, told the sisters near us, which they ‘cheered’ and used up 20 whole seconds. 

We got applause, no one got hurt, i had permission and yet the NEC propagandists erased the 20 second segment from their NEC Manna sales videos.  Thank you to Relevant Radio, they left it in since it fit well and were not so anal about peer pressure and image, one guesses than today’s revival leadership.

Bishops, what ARE you thinking as a new era in the Church unfolds?  Why do we communicate inadequately about the obvious demonic range (influenced thru obssession, even possession in some cases) of our teens, now preteens, via the terribly named “gender affirming care”; ie recreating human gender/sexes instead of teaching basic truths to help these sad dysphoric souls to heaven?  BY THESE INACCURATE MEALY MOUTH CHURCH HANDLINGS OF SERIOUS FAMILY ISSUES, YOU ARE INTERFERING DIRECTLY IN GOD’S CALL ON THOSE PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR A CHILD.  MOM AND DAD.

IT IS TIME to WAKE UP and smell the Renaissance.  In fact,Bishop Cozzens, I still wear the NEC pilgrims’ wristband from the last 8 perpetual pilgrims arriving at Archbishop Gomez’ Lady Queen of Angels cathedral on June 21 signaling the END of the revival and the NEW:

Eucharistic RENAISSANCE. It’s here!

Bishops, embrace it and SEE it while it unfolds!  We revive drowning kids and dying animals: knowing Jesus is TRULY present IS the long needed Renaissance, so why not show the world we KNOW and believe this.   

Thank you Tim, thank you Jason: The Revival has accomplished its goal; are we going to milk the phraseology for another 7 years or 70?    And just as well, our Church adapts to new educational models WHEN ignorance is overcome with Socratic discourse and solid answers.

San Diego, what do you even mean: “endorsing a parallel educational model?”  written in your 4 points Holy Door Augsberg thesis declaration. All parish ministries are unique and should be complementary forging unity of parish purpose.  Read the whole line:

‘It must be recognized that the movement toward housing home school related activities in the parish will inevitably create the impression that the Church is endorsing a parallel educational model without the in-depth educational oversight that the Church carries out in its parochial school program.’

Balderdash!  Cardinal McElroy, your ego is getting in the way on this.   Years ago, this is why when Michelle Malkin was oppressed for choosing home schooling for her challenged child, I coined the phrase:

“Homeschooling is NOT a crime, maybe a choice.  It IS a lifestyle worth considering…”

When Donna and I first chose to homeschool, our research noted very little available in the early 1980s for Catholic families to consider this path.  We began at a church that, unlike San Diego bishops named McElroy, welcomed homeschooling families for cooperative learning:  Magnolia Baptist. and joined CHEA the Christian Home Educators Association, a fledgling group.   Yes, we were pioneers at the time and today Catholic home based education numbers in the millions, and it “evolved” to so many options today.   But, your excellencies and most reverends, trust me: MOST CATHOLIC PARENTS WILL NOT CHOOSE THIS PATH ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SECURE WITH YOUR POWER Catholic ed choice $$$.   They will choose parish schools.  Why?

Homeschooling takes a lot more effort than enrolling them in private, parochial or public schools.  Much more.  After 40 years, I believe it was worth it, through challenges like the death of my 11’s mother, Donna, through questions like “Why are you keeping your kids out of school”.   The classic question that gives me a super chuckle is:

“WHAT ABOUT SOCIALIZATION?”

When someone parroted this complaint about Catholic homeschoolers, I first ask a simple: “could you spell and define socialization?”   The hems and haws are deafening: I let them off the hook and ask: “Where in life do you expect 40 7 yr olds to teach respect, good behavior, moral virtues; or 25 14 year old high schoolers to teach healthy respect for the opposite of the two sexes, male and female, how to treat other teens…”   You get the picture.   GOOD socialization comes from adults and older formed conscience young people who pattern good virtues and wisdom; certainly not what you get when speaking at public school board meetings (I do often) and asking the “adults” and boarders “why are you destroying our daughters?  10 years after you’ve sanctioned a teen  having her breasts removed and vagina ravaged, will you school board be there to console her when she goes suicidal realizing “I can’t nurse the baby girl I cannot have”.  Even our parish schools too often make the transmutilation condoning mistake, but that’s for bishops and principals to focus on.  I have examples, should you desire.

The historic model of Catholic education has ALWAYS been adaptive. We create and modify our teaching methods, as needs be, for adults AND teens/children IN CONCERT with the Catechism AND basic common sense if something isn’t working, change and find something that does.

Good example: My son, yes homeschooled, is the headmaster of Chesterton Academy of St Joseph, resident this year in a 5 parish combine in Dayton Ohio.  Last year, they occupied a beautiful downtown Lutheran church whose school has closed; they were joyful the sounds of school kids had returned for a time.   Chesterton academies embrace the same classical ed model many of our bishops today are promoting in their dioceses.   Miracle of miracles, this year, Ohio is allowing parents to get back $8000 per student of THEIR tax dollars to CHOOSE and Chesterton’s parents ARE choosing.

BISHOPS, WHY NOT CHASE YOUR STATES FOR EDUCATION $$ CHOICES INSTEAD OF CHASING OUT OLD LADIES WHO SPEAK SEMPER UBI SUB UBI?

We live in the people’s republic of Alta California so getting a small slice per student from the CalDeptED’s ONE THIRD of a TRILLION DOLLARS annual confiscation is a distant dream.  But maybe.

Leave your homeschoolers alone and:  EVERY BISHOP IN EVERY STATE SHOULD BE PUSHING THIS.  Why?  IT WILL REINVIGORATE YOUR PARISH BASED SCHOOLS REPLACING THE NUNS SALARIES OF BYGONE ERAS WITH $7000-$10,000 PER student.  And then you won’t worry about the unwashed unwelcomed homeschoolers and LEAVE THEM alone to help renew your parishes.

Yet another unforced error:  I’ve had a principal I respect shut out the rental use (I thought schools needed funds, with a $3000 donation READY TO BE GIVEN) WHEN school’s out for summer for the Southern California Catholic Home Educators conference because he “feared” the competition.   THERE IS NO COMPeTition and we all are on the racetrack to the kingdom of heaven. Someone must have a copy of 1 Corinthians 12 at the Chancery or in DC!    Be NOT afraid, bishops and school leaders, these words served Pope Saint John Paul the Great, Padre Pio, Pope Leo XiV and Jesus so well.  The Holy Spirit’s got this!

Bishop Pham, if you are reading this as the new ordinary of San Diego, you struggled to become an American Catholic.  Your training WAS different since early arrivals from Vietnam needed special training in the country that sponsored and welcomed you.  I personally saw and lived that at Christ Cathedral’s former home, St Callistus with high numbers of refugee Vietnamese families in the parish, whom I loved working with, as the youth minister 5 years after the fall of Saigon and 15 more years at the parish.

In addition to homeschooling, two reasons we have adequate priest vocations in the Orange Diocese is, first, the Vietnam war, with moms like yours, Bishop Pham, promising God, like Hannah, their Samuel IF they survived the South China Sea.  Adversity, as occurs for homeschoolers, leads to good things: it has reaped huge rewards for the repatriated victims of the godless communist VietCong AND the American Church.   Vocational calls are plenty; it’s the ANSWERED calls that need encouragement.

The other large vocation source is St Michael’s Abbey, with 100 priests and men in training that service numerous parishes; I know this, because two of our kids are married to two siblings of recently ordained Father Luke, a Premonstratensian ok Norbertine at St Michaels.   Meanwhile, the list of Vietnamese surnames in the Orange Diocese’s priest roster is heavily skewed to Nguyen, Pham etc.   Of course, this is a ‘Nguyen Nguyen’ for the Church.   The potato famine in the 20th century led to Irish priests coming to America; the demonic Viet Communists led to a new source of priests in the Southland and other places in the USA.

Bishop Pham, hard working Catholic homeschoolers like the Harolds and others deserve better treatment.  Bishop Pham, you escaped hell and came to America; your mom probably, like so many other oppressed moms, promised you to the Lord and the priesthood if only you escaped the South China Sea flotilla!

Like Reagan in Berlin said “TAKE DOWN THIS ARTIFICIAL WALL CALLING HOMESCHOOLED CATHOLICS THE UNWASHED AND UNWELCOMED.    Bishop Pham, you escaped oppression; why continue it for your diocesan CAtholic families who have chosen the harder, tougher path of homeschooling??

PLS Eliminate or at least MODIFY THE 4 POINT DECREE TO BE FAITHFUL TO GOD’S CALL ON THE CHURCH, ON PARENTS.

After 40 years of being pioneers in the modern Catholic homeschooling movement, call it Neocanonical, call it parental choice, but call it what it has become: A SUCCESSFUL MODEL TO EVANGELIZE OUR CHILDREN THAT PAYS DIVIDENDS into the next GENERATIONS.

PLEASE RECOGNIZE THE VALUE OF ALL YOUR PARISHIONERS.  I offer my help for free to educate your diocese and even the presbyteral 13 to an honest appraisal of what they are missing and losing by banishing one class of Catholic families most ignorantly.

Cardinal McElroy, I am not holding my breath on this; it takes humility and self-discernment to apologize to the homeschooling families of your former diocese.  But, historically, 3 years ago on my new wife and stepmom to 11, my Mary’s birthday, you became cardinal designate McElroy, actually Cardinal-priest of San Frumenzio ai Prati Fiscali. August 27, 2022

Now you are hopefully more suited to run the District diocese; at least, some hope for common sense to set in in San Diego and homeschooling families treated like they belong, with a new prelate.  Most reverend Bishop Michael Pham, what say you?   It would be my pleasure to visit and meet with you and your 13 prebyterals for a peaceful discussion and solutions even the wealthy parish school parent who complained could accept.

Respectfully and in His service!

Postscript: details~

“In September 2024, McElroy issued a policy that banned homeschool co-op groups from using parochial facilities within the diocese, claiming that it “undermined the stability of nearby Catholic schools and lead people to think that the Church is approving and advancing particular alternative schools and programs.” Some criticised this decision, due to it allowing parishes to rent space to non-Catholic schools on a “case-by-case basis”.”  Wikipedia

Bishop Pham, from your installation homily: “We will have true social justice only when all sisters and brothers are treated with dignity and respect…”   Why not include Catholic home educated families at the table in San Diego and Imperial Counties?  Your last line: ” In this day, politics and social interactions shouldn’t focus exclusively on differences, but rather on the common good of the people. All people.” Amen, Roger that!

The last line of the 4 points proclamation is: “As a consequence, home school programs will not be provided designated special access to the parish facilities of the Diocese of San Diego.”    How foolish!

As a consequence, we all lose in our ignorance that we need each other while homeschooled kids are fought over by colleges and industry because, well, they can read, write and compute.  Like that genius Katherine G Johnson, with a building named for her at NASA.  Do NOT fear excellence only fear dumbed down DEI style standards that rob our young and the future, of good Catholic leaders, parents and providers.

Best to you, Cardinal McElroy, like you, I was homeschooled by loving parents from birth.  So, was Bishop Pham in a far off country.   All we ask is Catholic homeschooling families be treated as well as many bishops treat the criminal aliens, the dysphoric suicidal girl2boy surgical patients and surgeons and fake girls peeking in young girl’s locker rooms across this fruited plain.  Equally though separately.

Time for the growing “unforced errors” museum. 

The latest “unforced errors” NOT improving our serve in the Catholic tennis game of life:  “As a consequence, home school programs will not be provided designated special access to the parish facilities of the Diocese of San Diego.”   Put it on the same shelf as the Pfaucinstein medical demonics shutting down schools and those 80 something super prayer warriors wielding their lingua latinam rosaries.  Why do we do this to ourselves?  We have excellent parish based schools, but also, home based/parish centered schooling that want to be a part of the parish, not pariahs.

Thank you! May this new Eucharistic Renaissance touch the hearts of all those in your care. Cardinal McElroy, you have a good heart…please take this as a gesture of hope.

~Len homeschooled his 11 kids over 40 years, mostly with Donna, a woman who died early at 48 yet had 1400 people at her Holy Family Cathedral funeral.  Feeds his family as a real estate broker owner covering Southern California; served on staff from 1980-2012 and continues in parish ministries as well as assisting at home school cooperatives. He is an author, blogs/posts at lifeoutloudest.com; has little time for silly racism victocrats, having 4 beautiful black grandkids among the 23, and a handsome black son in law soon to be a postbirth father (#10 daughter is pregnant with the 23rd due this month).  Len contends, unlike the Harvard educated SCOTUS Jumanji Jackson Brown, he knows what a woman is and that the other gender makes two.  He is an exhortationist, an encourager not divider, for people to seek Jesus and be the best one can be.  Settle never and go Socratic in your discussions for dialogue is the only thing to cure the common stupid.

Comments are welcome especially from bishops and priests, in DC or the other coast, because too many “unforced errors” in our Church can be repaired IF diligence and fearlessness become our standard bearer.

Errata/ the San Diego 4 point dissertation on banning homeschoolers:

(SAN DIEGO, September 25, 2024) — Within the past year, a number of home school cooperative or satellite programs have approached parishes within the Diocese of San Diego, seeking to establish programs on parish sites. Some of these programs have also sought to establish religious formation or sacramental preparation programs within the parish setting that are dedicated specifically for home school students. This has become a source of tension within the diocese.

Two weeks ago, the Diocese established a new policy on the use of parish buildings for educational programs. This policy was passed by the Presbyteral Council by a vote of thirteen to one and was approved by Cardinal McElroy.

Four principles underlay this policy:

1. Catholic teaching makes clear that parents are the first teachers of their children in faith and in choosing the educational setting for their children.
2. The historic ministry of Catholic schools lies at the center of the Church’s educational mission. In approaching the question of basing home school cooperatives in parishes, the vibrancy of our Catholic schools takes precedence. It must be recognized that the movement toward housing home school related activities in the parish will inevitably create the impression that the Church is endorsing a parallel educational model without the in-depth educational oversight that the Church carries out in its parochial school program.
3. For Catholic children who do not attend Catholic schools, the parish should provide an integrated faith formation program which is normative for sacramental preparation in the parish. All students within the parish should participate in the same program together as a sign of the integrity of the community of faith. The Church blesses all of its children equally and blesses equally all of the choices that parents have made for their children.
4. The Diocese supports the decision of a growing number of parents to choose home-schooling for their children. At the same time this support does not include a right for basing integral elements of home-schooling programs in parish settings. Home schooling is not inherently a ministry of the parish.

As a consequence, home school programs will not be provided designated special access to the parish facilities of the Diocese of San Diego.

New Bishop Pham:  “As Vicar for Inter-Cultural Affairs, he was instrumental in establishing the annual Pentecost Mass for All Peoples celebrating the ethnic and cultural diversity of the San Diego region.” “On the day of Pentecost, as we heard from the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, people spoke in different languages; and yet, they understood each other. The reason they understood each other was because they listened to each other,” said Bishop Pham in his homily.  “Only by listening to the Word of God and to each other, can we be guided by the Holy Spirit to right the injustices created in today’s world due to our human flaws and thus achieve peace,” he said.

If you email a response, please put  “Cardinal McElroy and homeschooling” in the subject line to  Lenbeckman@gmail.com.   In the interest of Socratic dialogue, your ideas are most welcome

Solutions to killing Catholic school kids in a violent world

 “Countless kids killed every day..God stop the pandemic of arms around the world”  Leo XiV regarding the Annunciation Stained Glass killer

“The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones” ~~ William Shakespeare’s play “Julius Caesar,” spoken by Marc Antony during his funeral oration for Caesar. This line reflects the idea that people’s wrongdoings are often remembered long after their good deeds are forgotten.

“We have to be men and women of hope” spoke Bishop Hebner in the wake of the senseless killing at one of his diocesan schools.

“I wish I could have thrown my body in the path of the bullets to save the kids” Annunciation parish priest, paraphrased emotionally but the same sentiment of EVERY teacher or leader in a school shooting over the last 100 years.

~~

In the past, national Media used to NOT ID to glorify killers, but other than this Annunciation Stained Glass killer and his~her ilk, no one likes seeing or hearing of Catholic school kids killed for being in church or class.   None that I know.  And AS USUAL, we don’t want to hear of another killing in the future.   Time to go deep on the preparation without doing Pontius Pilates handwashing.

Note that the tragedy of Wednesday Aug 27, 2025’s 20 21 victims in Minneapolis, including the deaths of a 6 and 8 year old, is slightly overshadowed by all the heroics:

The student who was covered by his good friend who took a shotgun blast to his back. “A 10-year-old fifth grader, Weston H., told reporters in Minneapolis that his classmate, Victor, shielded him from gunfire during the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.” 

 First time I heard this brave kid Weston, I’ll never forget how he sounded so much like a famous Alex. You may have noticed, Weston is a voice doppleganger for 8 yr old Alex Pruitt of Chicago, played by Alex Linz in Home Alone 3.  Alex confronted a gun toting ‘elite’ gang of four and staved them off with ingenuity to save a critical ASIC military electronics chip, help his seasoned lady neighbor, saved  and the nation. Recall, he alerted the cops that his neighbor was in need of medical attenton.

Lessons to be learned!   I won’t post a picture of this fine young man but read the words from Weston:

“My friend Victor, like, saved me though. ‘Cause he laid on top of me. But he got hit,”  “I was super scared for him. But I think now he’s OK…” “I hope you’re okay and I’m praying for you,” he said in a message to his friend.  

What wise words!  Not to mention, stories like the Minneapolis ER nurse who risked extra radiation dosing by stayed with, accompanied a young girl getting an MRI who was scared and alone.  The teachers and first responders who showed their ability to respond and help.   Also, kudos to the training the Annunciation kids received, though not in the church, they adapted: to respond by getting under the pews saving more lives.

We love the stories of heroics that come out of tragedies like this.  Our best response, as in the past is: it could have been worse.  Like you, I’m a bit tired of  ‘Gee, only two kids died.  It could have been 116, the number of sprayed bullets.”   But, I truly believe it could have been and WILL be BETTER! IF we wake up and smell the goodness.

Facts of Academic Life:  IF we could lay down our fiefdoms, our preferences on education and Church life for a moment: I don’t mean to upset Cardinal McElroy, who has been successfully relocated to the DC area.  Thankfully, for him, it is a MUCH safer neighborhood now that the national guard is there and we’ve had no murders of black kids by other black gang kids for 14 15  xx days…and counting. Law and order works when it is allowed to and this season of DC peace could last a lot longer if…

Frankly, we southern california homeschoolers (our family is an intergenerational Catholic homeschooling family in year 42 so far) wish the Cardinal all the best where he should fit in well…DC.   But recall, if you can, His Excellency Cardinal McElroy bizarre action:  He banned Catholic homeschoolers from using San Diego diocese parish school facilities last Sept 2024.   Important?  Maybe.  The stats don’t lie not everyone is a fan of Catholic homeschooling, which is more a permitted choice, but a lifestyle more and more are chosing.

Although the new DCardinal didn’t like the unwashed Catholic homeschoolers darkening “his” parish school rooms in San Diego:

                        There have been NO shootings at homeschooling events, homes or cooperatives in 50+ years including when parishes allow their homeschooling families the right to use their own parish’s facilities that they contribute to.

Frankly the closest homeschooler death recently, that I know of, would have been caused by water not bullets…the story for another time.

And yes, Cardinal, some homeschooled kids do go barefoot, on purpose when they are running around at a park day with other Catholic home-based educated children after a coop or separate day of classes. Grass and bare feet go well together when you are young or haven’t learned that being childlike is still an adult attribute.

But, parishes these days have many many cultures segregated only by mass times and interests; there are so many “communities” built into our active Catholic parishes.    And some of the most engaged and productive are part of the homeschool movement in this unfolding Eucharistic Renaissance.  Did you know a higher percentage of priest answered vocations (and consecrated religious women) come out of engaged Catholic homeschool “movements” and “communities”, ie families across the US? I see this after 33+ years of three different parish staffing experiences(DRE, Youth Dir etc).

Why no shootings?   The why is not as important as being honest with ourselves even at the USCCB level and looking for reasonable, even undeniably simple solutions to Catholic school kids being at-risk, let alone abused or killed.

One area is the need to address more than guns and dysphorics:  Huge hat tip to Drew Mariani, who had child crime expert Richard Wistoki on his Relevant Radio show 8/13/25 to discuss sextortion and online safety (10:53).  Topics included: monitoring kids online (23:51), monitoring apps (33:01), and healing (36:51). Caller: kids shouldn’t have smartphones (42:37), this last is a no brainer today.

Suggestion #1: Go to your strengths in the laity.  IF you haven’t hardened your church or school, maybe tomorrow is a good day to start.

Get parish adults, vets, officers and trained adults, to be there for the kids. This is nothing new:  But FIRST you must take down the “This is a gun free zone” signs around Chicago etc. and our schools and churches; like honey on innocents, this attracts the unhinged future killers. And it is the most imbecilic signage: last weekend 70 Chicagoans were shot, and 11 diesd, mainly black and young;  DC, no black gangbanger teens killed any black teen with the National Guard presence

Put up, including at city limits, signs that say a deterrent: “At our school, only three of our employees have weapons to stop you.  We recommend you go after a softer target because you probably won’t leave our campus alive.”    Or something similar.  Why?  The uncertainty principal works among unhinged cowards, especially the recent species of trans manifesto going after the innocent. I am not bearing false witness against those poor trans killers.

  I looked into it: when the transgender estrogenized Tennessee boygirl realized her first, her prime target was too dangerous FOR HER, she went to and shot up a softer school target. 

On March 27, 2023, a mass shooting occurred at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian Church in America parochial elementary school in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, when 28-year-old Aiden Hale (born Audrey Elizabeth Hale).  By the way, the media refused to release her “manifesto” at the time.

 Yes these unhinged killers are motivated, but they want quantity and the ease of the kill: hardened buildings stop the mentally challenged future killers.

Then DO what the sign says:

1. Train and arm a certain number of (invite in and hire a security specialist to help plan) ) ;post training, concealed carry permit holder teachers and security plainclothes or uniformed; fandom seeking, manifesto wielding seeking killers are generally cowards and will not attempt to make the headlines when their chance for success is limited.

The media, as usual, is NOT our friend on this: notice they stopped broadcasting killers’ names but they are back to glorifying the demonic shooters. Just odd; you’d think general media would grow a conscience and THINK before they glorify but you can’t change human nature’s “If it bleeds, it leads”.

Reasonable Objection to guns in school go back decades and ever present:  “I am a teacher and I don’t want to kill another human being; I will NOT carry a gun”.

This is both a common and understandable, yet sad reaction.  The reason no homeschool shootings is the teacher, mom, dad, grandparent, is closest to the kids. Both familial, by blood and location.  Yet, it is the same in our parish schools, the teacher or her aid are within 20 feet of every child in their classroom.

If any body could respond the quickest, it is the teacher, the person who “in loco parentis” under CCC2223, is the adult with primary responsibility temporarily assigned to her or him.  The school AND specifically the teacher.   Note that the parents HIRE the school to educate their children, choosing not to homeschool or use public schooling.

As the Annunciation school experience proved, yet again, valor showed up…but at what cost?

Annunciation school teachers, similar to Secret Service agents, rushed to protect their students and so many more would have died without the safe environment training and quick response by people who care for the kids.

TGKiller, didn’t give a damn how many kids he took out. In fact, TGKiller stated, he was “obsessed with killing children” He was armed to get at least half; but when guys with a gun showed up, he was gone.   116 bullets discharged and 2 dead victims, one dead killer.

And like lemmings, the liberal minions are out, the ammophobiacs, gun haters not so anonymous are out pushing for yet another “assault automatic weapon” to be banned.   Reality is: TGKiller only had semiauutomatic, no Tommy guns like in gangland Chicago yesteryear.  Yet no discussion of the assault trans~dysphoric groomed former Annunciation killer’s being banned from our society and Church ministries.

Even the DOJustice is looking at banning transgendered people from owning guns, but that won’t satisfy people who want America emptied of ALL weapons.  Well, except knives used at planned parenthood.

Church shootups are NOT new.  Click back 7 years to First Baptist; 26 churchgoers are quickly dead and then:  next door Texan neighbor Stephen Willeford stepped up.

“The armed civilian who used his assault rifle (author’s note: standard AR-15; no, AR does NOT stand for Assault Rifle #15) to stop Sunday’s mass murder of 26 Texas churchgoers has been hailed, rightly, as a hero, but Stephen Willeford is hardly unique. A number of armed American citizens have also used their firearms to stop or limit mass killings.

The former National Rifle Association instructor who lives next door to the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Spring, Texas, grabbed his AR-15-style rifle after hearing the gunfire and went over to investigate. Confronting the shooter, Devin Kelley, Willeford shot him in the leg and torso before Kelley dropped his weapon and fled the scene in his SUV.”

~~~

As horrific as Baptist Killer K’s rampage was, it could have been much worse if it wasn’t for Stephen Willeford.  You’ve heard it before, some have ignored it but bad guys lose, once the good guys show up with a gun or other defensive devices.  Willeford wouunded the bad boy and the killer soon suicided off the planet  just like the Annuciation Stained Glass window shooter.  Don’t hate me for pointing this out, but Hitler proved suicide is IN vogue and a huge part of the arsenal of the deranged.  Ask Eva Brauh and his dog.

Thus, faster is one of the KEYs!    Every minute counts for lives saved.

If Annunciation school had just one armed adult, maybe the two dead could have been zero.   ‘Whatif’ 2020 hindsight is a silly game, but it points the obvious.  The six minute typical response time from OFF site rescuers, insures more dead.  Shorten response time and more will live.  Simple supply and demand econ.  The Church frowns on the Death Penalty but why do we insure it will be done to our precious kids by a scumbag, maybe due to dysphoric chemicals, parental mistakes like in stained glass TGKiller’s case this time or ?

Maybe a BETTER Solution to this dilemma: NON lethal defense!   it works great!

Human nature 101: Majority of teachers will always refuse to conceal carry, even though they are the best line of defense.  I believe the biggest concern they have is they are teachers, not cops and not trained.  Frankly, the elephant in the room is they would hesitate, maybe not even target an obvious, armed threat even though his or her teacher actions would save lives.   WE HAVE SOLVED THIS!!

THEY DON’T WANT TO KILL A FELLOW HUMAN BEING EVEN IF THAT “HUMAN” WANTS TO KILL HIM/HER.   This is a part of decent peoples’ nature.

Bishops & other educational professionals: here’s a better Answer:   Non Lethal ‘Byrna’!!

Go the tactical launcher route.  A Byrna or similar. Never heard of a Byrna projectile launcher?   The hand launcher does not kill the perp, it incapacitates him or her until help arrives.  The 40 classroom kids stay alive, teacher’s a hero and no one dies. 

Realize that bullets are designed to penetrate humans, they contain their propulsion (gun powder) within the bullet casing/’rounds’ inside the gun.  A Byrna or other mfg. laucher uses highly compressed CO2 cartridges to “launch” super hard (NOT pointy!) spheres which incapacitate but don’t kill. a 250 pounder, let alone a scrawny 180 pound Annunciation kid killer, is down for 30 minutes until law enforcement arrives.

Results? The next Stained Glass Killer will go down, get arrested, arraigned and then possibly gets let go by some leftist loon judge because, after all he/she/it didn’t kill any of  the kids in his manifesto.  And besides, (s)he didn’t take the testosterone or estrogenic drugs today so he can plead mental illness.

Why?  BECAUSE HE OR SHE, WHICHEVER THEIR BIRTH SEX IS, IS DYSPHORIC AND MENTALLY ILL.

  Well the last legal part needs some work as our Constitutional Republic wakes up, but at least kids are saved.

Bishops: I want to help.  I know you do as well.  The current bishop of Minneapolis is Archbishop Bernard Hebda, who has served as the Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis since 2016…he definitely has his hands full and has shown brightly in his first words of hope.  So, why not look and go a little deeper!

The Byrna Alternative.   The Challenge:

the first bishop/cardinal who asks for it, will receive a hand held projectile launcher manufactured in Tennessee by Byrna, a gift from my wife and I. With a supply of .68 inch diameter projectiles (we can’t say or use bullets, caliber and guns  because it scares people, remember.  Byrna rounds are “round” spherical and not pointy) accompanying it. 

These Byrna type devices are not lethal guns, and are legal and safe (unlike abortion that never was either safe tho “legal” in satan’s eyes) in all 50 states; this will cost the Beckman Ranch family $500, which might be better used for their 11 kids’ needs.  But if ONE bishop or cardinal has the tools, maybe he can impress other prelates to do the same in their own diocese.   Protecting kids is NOT the job of the USCCB, it is a LOCAL concern, a local responsibility at the parish level that need to address it directly as if kids’ lives are important.

Why am I so passionate about keeping Catholic kids alive; it’s more than I have 11 kids and supervised average 300+ kids in our various programs.  I am just tired of the constant pontificating over situations that can be solved relatively simply IF we play “adults” and define terms without biases.  Non lethal could become the solution to both gunfearing teachers and the need to stop a perp immediately if not sooner.

FYI:  there are over 9,900 schools nationally already armed at various levels, practicing serious not nominal protection of their students; none of these recent shootings happened at schools with armed personnel. 

These successful schools don’t fear guns but they do fear dying children under their watch.  They are trained, ready as can be and no Chicago “gun free zone” welcome perps signs to be seen.

Honestly, it is cute we can have coffee and talk about the causes: smart phones too early for teens.  Too much street violence.  Too much violent video games, interactive or single.  Too many guns in our homes. The child was too tightly toilet trained and not loved at birth.  His parents let him be whatever he or she wanted to be including changing his name to a girl’s type and go trans.   Like Wednesday’s Annunciation Stained Glass Killer.  Have you read his manifesto yet? It’s insane…like the psychotropic laden druggie he was from Big Pharma.

Let’s put together a diocesan committee of subcommittees to review our next steps. Let’s reconvene in 2030 or later or get real istic!   OR:  ACT NOW like lives depend on action.  They do!

The CAUSES don’t matter one bit, WHILE the Son of Stained Glass Killer shows up at your school office loaded for bear and asks where most of the kids are located.   Single access is now commonly practiced, but it works as part of a whole researched plan;  and yet still isn’t the best.

Knock yourself out digging around for the causes from decades ago: IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER when Catholic students are being Mass Shot at Mass.   But NOW is the TIME to think and plan; you have ‘hardened’ the school & church, with concealed carry skilled adults, Byrnas or 22s, teachers or grandparents, security, or all of the above.

However, this next is critical: One big area is the link between demonic toxic masculinity fueled ‘transsexual community’ “awareness” and  nurturing potential killers.  BAsically, ‘trans industry tyranny, from the vulerable child thr levels of trans indoctrination at the classroom, school clubs, peer pressure tied to the non existent passive trans “community”

Suggestion#2   NOW is the time to get serious about transgenderism and promoting sexual shapeshifting.

STOP blind acceptance for trans identifying boys and girls, the dysphoric development IN our Catholic schools and parish ministries can be deadly.  It should be handled with prayer and adult wisdom not wishful thinking.

This century, we Church folks have excelled at various  “unforced errors”. This latest juxtaposition just happened where in too many of our nation’s Catholic high schools, even grammar, where pro life concepts and clubs are not wanted, while the growth of LGBTqXYZ clubs, and inherent acceptance, is pandemic.

‘CASE IN POINT:  On the Relevant Radio Patrick Madrid show, adjacent to the stained glass killer shock unfolding, a high school freshman student called in, let’s name him John Paul.

The palpable irony is he is in a Southern California Catholic high school.  His activities director told this incoming freshman that having a pro life club would not work at the school.  Yet, one look at the school’s club roster would reveal it already has something called a LGBTqXYZ club.   Probably just mild mannered discussion about….  are we nuts?  No need to answer that!

As a Church, are we STILL comfortable just calling it “same sex attraction” and herding our Catholic high schoolers into their lunchtime LBGTqXYZ community clubs, bishops?  According to canon law, the bishop is and has the primary role in guiding faith formation within his ordinary.

Yet, we the laity, as well, are we willing to BE the adults, SEEK the TRUTH and SPEAK the TRUTH yet?   Can we consider reforming how we deal with and look at this modern outgrowth of “recreating” gender fluidics and human sexuality starting with psycho-social evolutions like toxic masculinity and shepherding kids to think on their own from 6 years old onward?

God did NOT ask a parents’ LGBTq support ministry to consult on His creation of male and female, with their unique qualities and designed in roles.   There is an orchestrated transgender industrial social complex in high gear and God has called parents and Peter’s apostolic descendants to stand up for TRUTH and protect the little children.

Please note, bishops, priests, school leadership, parents: my whole life is Catholic education related.

My 10 siblings and I had 126 years of OC  Catholic parish elementary and high  (St Anthony Claret, Servite & Rosary Hi) in the 60s-80s.  As well, beautiful Donna and I, with our 11 kids, have had 132 cumulative years of Catholic homeschooling, with our kids, as they grew up; it was unusual, but they were  “immersed” in the sacramental programs at the three parishes I/we served on staff.

This last part should interest you, because the magisterium and catechism is clear about who is responsible for our children’s educational future.  Apparently, I as the “principal” of our school have some bonafides to share this, being a type  of 50 year ‘time capsule’. Truth is, I was conceived in Chicago three years before our new excellent and timely Pope Leo Xiii XiV though born in Pasadena, CA and still, I remain at age 73 active in SoCal Catholic ministries.

In fact, Donna and I had always worked alongside the parish schools’ principals and teachers, especially when we were DREs; we used the Anaheim classrooms that SD’s Cardinal McElroy was overly provincial about and worked hard NOT to leave a student desk in the wrong place for Wed mornings.  We knew the PARISH owned the classrooms but we were guests as public school religious ed offspring.

Put simply, IF I was the high school president/principal and found out how the Love Boat Julie activities director handled new student John Paul, I would have her or him fired or at least reassigned.   There are so many active teens and young adults involved in school and parish ProLife clubs, where the real violence is outed and dealt with; plus the young Catholics are active in helping as peer counselors

It’s time to be honest too!   Word to the wise, leaders!:

1.  There is NO trans or LGBTqXYZ “community”.  Today, with the left’s compulsive misuse of the English language, ‘Community’ is used so easily but it means “Common unity”.    Factually, the closest “gay” (radicals love to ruin good English words) community, ie homosexual, is now an Biblical Archeology site: Sodom and Gomorrah.  All the men clamoring at Lot’s door for the two Angels inside Lot’s home were a community of guys wanting to have sex with what they perceived as men.   Today we call it “same sex attraction” acted out en masse!   The angels “blinded” the reprobates but we cannot remain “blinded” to what is happening in this arena.  It’s one thing, and should continue, to help young adults and teens work through their dysphoric same sex attraction; but God forbid, we continue this hellish push to create exercise zones at lunchtime and during class time about how to be homosexual, how to be trans.   Never mentioned is how the girls devoid of breasts and reproductive organs often will contract depression, amplified dysphoria and commit suicide a decade later. Where will the horribly misnamed “gender affirming surgeons”?   On their yachts out at sea.
2. OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT REMADE GUINEA PIGS OF DR MENGELE, WHO EXPERIMENTED ON TWINS WITH HIENOUS SURGERIES UNDER HITLER’S TUTELAGE These demonic gender affirming careless mutilators need to be shut down YESTERDAY.   Look in the mirror, leaders.   Better, go to a school board meeting.
3. Calling this amorphous grouping a “trans community” is nuts, it shows our immature ‘adult’ ignorance about our kids who need help with their dysphoria and moral compasses. NOT moral relativistic grooming to become death doctor fodder.  Pre- and pubescence IS a time of sorting out, confusion, etc. that REQUIRES their parents and adults to BE adults:  to give good advice from their well~formed consciences.    NOT let dysphoric teachers and/or their like-minded teachers’ aides making clinical and psychological determinants for under age, minor children.   It’s like relying on rapists to counsel rape victims because they’ve “been there” and actually are still violating women.  Worse is when parents succumb and trans biased teachers think they are doing the family and kid a favor by hooking her up with “counselors” who extract the kid and put in group homes to accelerate the mutilation process.   Even now, in California, there is
4. Get to your local or county school board meetings.  Yes, they are public and impact, especially in California, the future public indoctrination system.   I have a evolving script below because this IS a critical area we Catholic educators, parents and leaders can have REAL impact.

Read the unwinding news!! The Annunciation stained glass killer was a former student, his parents encouraged his dysphoria, mom helped him change his name to Robin and probably provided “lethal” puberty or sex reassignment drugs for their future stained glass killer son. AND he was IN the school as a student at onetime. 

The opponent is laughing all the way to his rotten lair;  you might know, “Opponent” is the translation of the Hebrewized Persian word for satan. (Hat tip Fr Simon)

Actually how can you have community when there is ZERO fundamental agreement among these LGetc “leaders”, while we toss our precious kids to the liar’s den!   In fact, with 100 manufactured genders, the ‘veteran’ LGBs disagree with the t’s and q’s acceptability to be a part of their “community”, there is NO common unity among the LGBTq crowd.   And the population is NOT in the millions, as the fraud media pushes; better understand, the whole process is built ON a lie.

It remains OUTRAGEOUS how we adopt the death cultures’ vocabulary!?  In southern Orange County, below the Y interchange, south county Catholic high Love Boat Julie put the full names of the clubs on the activities board at the high school so the teens can “choose?” False.  Eliminating an excellent club successful on many high school and college campuses, stacks the desk for ignoring life issues critical in today’s political and real world climate.  And giving a nod to the letters people, who hide their motives and ideology in a few initials.

Define the initials:  LGBTq is alphabet soup for Lesbian (women having sex with other women), Homosexuals (man2man); or Gay which used to be part of the Flintstones show theme song and Christmas’ Joy to the World.  BiSexual, oft missed, means guys and girls prefer having sex wantonly and whomever they are near in proximity.   The death culture, as JPtheGreat Pope Saint calls it, loves to synthesize new words (like Gay) or misappropriate God’s and old symbols (like the Rainbow).

I believe a  few of you have been to a public school board meeting. If you haven’t, this month is a good one to start, no matter WHICH month.  By law, you have two to three minutes to speak your mind in the comments section of each district’s monthly meetings.  These can be the most powerful 180 seconds in your and THEIR day.  Just as powerful as the 17 seconds on average we have with the abortive girl to help her change her mind: on the sidewalk of planned parenthood HQ in Orange CA.  Before they drive off, giving her a rose opens the door to Socratic questions, facts for free services sheets and genuine compassionate love. It saves more than the prebirth baby’s life, it helps to protect the vulnerable mother.

Since my youngest is an adult and we no longer are on a parish staff, and now feeding my 11 with the real estate profession, the last couple of years, I HAVE attended these meetings in different counties; my favorite, that shows just how far gone many public school districts are, is Sonja Shaw and the Chino Valley district. She showed our reprobate state public superintendent the door when Thurmond tried to take over the board meeting.   Pardon my truth is slipping out, but the Dem one party state of silliness believes they, not the parents nor the Church, own the kids from birth to God knows when.  The California Teachers’ union, the Calif Dept of Education Indoctrination, handles 330 billion $$$ every year.

You CAN do this: it is YOUR RIGHT and I dare say a responsibility to speak truth to error.  After all, in California, 1/3 of a TRILLION $$ are GIVEN after being TAKEN from Catholic and other families, to the state government school system.   So, as the planned parenthood supported “trans” resurrection has unfolded, I would take my 2-3 minutes to ask a couple questions of the board members…for example:

“School board member: thank you for your service.  But why are you so hell bent in allowing or fostering our daughters toward suicide?   You realize by promoting, yes promoting via your sympathetic teachers and green haired teacher’s aides, and student “clubs” LGBTrans acceptance, many of OUR life blood kids, the students will be groomed into depression, more anxiety and thinking they are ‘uncomfortable’ and in the wrong body by activists. (I look directly into the boarders eyes)   Evidence exists, in less than a decade, a daughter that had her breasts chainsawed off and her vagina ravaged by Frankensteinian intrusive tools, will realize “I can’t nurse the child that I cannot bear/have”.     Board members, this is YOUR responsibility to BE the adults and at least curtail this insanity.”      Scripts change as needed.

Cardinals, bishops et al. The euphemistic “gender affirming care” has been found to be deadly, bankrupt and demonic. Why we don’t speak out and direct our Catholic hospitals and doctors to NOT mutilate our children is outrageous.   Even the secular medical world is waking up while we tolerate high school activities directors giving free rein to clubs supervised by non Catholic misquided proctors while banning the area, prolife, where so much good is happening by student led efforts.  Talk is cheap

Did you know Children’s Hospital of LA and Kaiser Permanente have just awaken: they just ended their demonic drugging, mutilating and neutering or “desexification” of our young.   Maybe the liability and lawsuits is moving this along…I don’t care.  Ending child mutilation, like abortion, must be our top priority

Bishops, the memories haven’t waned of previous “unforced errors”; just look at Buffalo’s payout.  We’ve paid enough millions for sex abuse settlements, are we willing to start a new round when the poisoned fruit of our mismanaging the “truth” comes to bear?   Sadly, I know of specific cases where the 5th grade trans explorer was showcased in the classrooms he/she/it (pick your preferred proNouns) occupies.   Needless to say, the shocked mother and father of he/she/it’s classmates took their two middle school girls out of that parochial school immediately. I love the school, which I won’t identify, but a teeny amount of toxic viruses can destroy more than a classroom.   Of course, we don’t mistreat the vulnerable dysphorics; like EVERYONE in life, we graciously practice the work of mercy to “the other”.    Two spiritual works come to mind: “to instruct the ignorant” and “to counsel the doubtful”.   The sad truth, many teens are more versed in the truth about male/female, how to handle classmates that are struggling, then their leaders in the Church.   It’s not easy being a bishop, but we in the laity need more spiritual guidance than a DC cardinal playing Solomon and banishing his homeschooling parents and kids from paid for empty rooms at hours NOT occupied by the anointed Catholic school kids. It’s time my good leaders to be fearless, truth-filled, compassionate and BOLD!   The world increasingly is dying to hear the truth.

===========

δυσφορία   dysforia.  From the Greek: severe unhappiness, anxiety, especially a person’s feeling of being very uncomfortable in their body or of being in the wrong body.

Not too long ago, transgenderism used to be considered a mental illness, from that Greek word Dysphoria.   Translated “confusion”, instead of being the guidance for sound moral teachings during pubescent years, pre-, post- and present, we “cede” the guidance needed to non Christian ideologues who infiltrate with permission and destroy our kids.  This is both outrageous and insane and some, but not all, of our nation’s bishops see this reality.

Catholic Hi school Love Boat Julie the  activities director, you are 180 degrees off! Be thankful I am NOT your principal or school president.  But think for a moment, your impact by your ignorant action; you could be setting the stage for the next trans manifesto and attempt to kill kids because they are there, NOT under adult supervision being groomed by an ideological cancer and vulnerable.  This is NOT hyperbole but basic truth.  High school teens are not equipped to truly understand the sickness built into demanding the  right to alter God’s creative design decisions.  The insanity is doubled if the trans involved teens act as counsel to each other in a club setting.   If I knew your name I would send you, for free, a new book that should enlighten the world you are sentencing students in your care, into.

TranSanctuary are not necessary IF we adults teach the truth.  And in this Eucharistic Renaissance, students are HUNGRY for the Truth, about themselves, their school, their world.

Seeds are planted, others nourish or poison, the results are harvested. The stained glass killer sought out a GunFree Zone;   this Transhooter might be insane, but he’s not stupid: he wanted to make sure his plan had ultimate impact, he seemed to hate everyone but loved the mass killers.   So his targets were in GunFree Central, inside a true sanctuary of love, a parish Church celebrating the Eternal Eucharistic Gift, Jesus the Christ.

Irony, we mentioned the Tennessee school trans killer and her hidden bizarre words; but in 2017, at First Baptist, Mr Willefort stopped the carnage at 26 with his well trained handling of bullets, wounding the killer who later killed himself.  Just like the stained glass Annunciation killer.   The next day after the First Baptist Texas event, I got calls that I was in the news in Texas; Mr. Willefort is my doppleganger, uncanny yes.   But, he too showed that the Gospel of Life applies to saving as many lives, prebirth or after the “deWombing”, as we can.

I know I will never convince Cardinal McElroy of the good that homeschoolers do for the Church, with a higher than average number of answered “priest and religious” vocations; nor convince principals and teachers they not the police are the best defense for keeping parish based Catholic kids alive. Maybe they will take my advice and look into the Byrna solution, among other excellent improvements in school safety.

PLEASE do not fear guns, fear those untrained, criminal and civil, and abusive of their purpose.   And frankly, is it time to ban knives from our day to day world?

Truth be told, Bishops and teachers, though stats are sketchy, curved knives called “currettes” are the #1 killer of young people: 65 million dead prebirth US kids over four decades by the sick ilk of planned parenthood.

Although the death medical industry today have switched to Auschwitz style mass chemical kills using mifeprestone as part of a one or two drug cocktail.   How wise is that when a mother looks in the toilet to see her fully formed but small child floating below the rim.  Before, she was the victim, misguided to kill her “clump of cells”.  Now, she becomes complicit, still the victim but even more vulnerable for hell’s demonic opression.   God help us!  Maybe the Church, Autom would do big biz, should offer inexpensive mini caskets for toilet born small children.

But “suffer the little ones to come unto Me” are words to live by.  Jesus knew what He was saying and  doing…weaponizing “trans” confused kids and using them as leftist props is NOT part of His call.  In case you are not aware, planned parenthood is the #1 provider of body altering

No one dies but the perpetrators are incapacitated. Teachers, realizing they are the PRIME defense when in class, need not fear. There is an easily concealed version too

Thank you for considering.  First bishop to text or call me with the word “Bryna”.  NO I don’t have stock just knowledge that fear stands for “False Expectations Appearing Real” is paralyzing good parents to wake up they are the first line of defense for their kidlings. Teachers, you can do this!

  Ironically, my cell number is 714 267 1413 an uncanny clue to our 267th pope, known as the 14th following in Leo 13th’s footsteps.   Email is Lenbeckman@gmail.com and articles can be found http://www.lifeoutloudest.com.

It’s NOT about me, I know I am a sinner, yet have my blessings a la 11 kids and 23 (new foster being adopted!) grandkids still following the faith of our Church fathers.  People of God, it’s about the children of us all:

1) Defend them in our classrooms with wisdom.

2)  Defend our students’ precious souls by NOT allowing clubs that are spawned in hell that insult God’s design.

The anti-God world excels in using abbreviations to hide the truth of evil, like LGBTqetc is alphabet soup for Lesbian (women desiring sex with other women), Homosexuals (man2man); or Gay which used to be part of the Flintstones show theme song and Christmas’ Joy to the World.  BiSexual, oft missed, means guys and girls prefer having sex wantonly and whomever they are near in proximity. Trans is the new safe harbor for “everything goes” in recreating God’s sexes, so fluid you can change by the hour.  The high priest?  Mr. “gender fluids” trans governor Newsom.

The death culture, as JPtheGreat Pope Saint calls it, loves to synthesize new words (like Gay) or misappropriate God’s and old symbols (like the Rainbow).

And I know I have three fingers pointing back at me; too many of my 10 siblings have turned their back on our Church, fallen away, due in part to priest abuse that occurred in Europe by a traveling boy’s singing ministry in the 60s.  Yet, my fervent prayer parallels Pope Leo’s call for peace on all levels, seeking the truth and SERVING the OTHER long before ourselves.

PS.  I have written a song for our new pope (Ballad of the Pope of Peace and Hope Leo XiV) which I hope to get to him for his 70th birthday Sept 14th, the feast of the holy Cross.   I was conceived in Chicago 4 years before Robert Francis Prevost was an embryo on the way to birth.  However I was born in the tournament of Roses city, Pasadena and a Californian ever since.

Our Catholic school kids deserve a shot at life, not to be “shot” by the next unhinged mentally challenged seeker of fame confused about life by his or her’s addiction to violence groomed to perfection for the next group kill. Personally, I am optimistic that this time we will change up our service.   The ‘free’ Byrna is only a prompt to make our worship places and ed centers as safe as possible.  EACH parish NEEDS individual assessment of dangers andplanning; my school years church St Anthony Claret, has their stained glass above the 10 foot line but has  six entrances.  The Annunciation stained glass killer couldn’t do what he did and get full effect obviously. Don’t FEAR, plan.

Fake compassion and ignorance has NO place in our violent world today.  Each parish and diocese has the talent, the tools and wisdom to make our parish schools safer than the 50 year history of modern Catholic home schooling.  ZERO kills the noble goal!  And prayer for a change of heart of the nation’s cardinal in DC.  Homeschoolers are people too! and homeschooling IS a choice, a family lifestyle many more consider today.

These pastor’s words are echoed:  “If I could have got between those bullets and the kids,” Father Zehren said, his voice breaking with emotion at an Aug. 30 news conference just outside Annunciation elementary school.     And his words could be prophetic, IF we get serious about protecting the children from the killers, by equipping the teachers AND the school plant as if they are more important than a President, Pope, Bishop or Preborn Children.

Because  They ARE! Just as valuable as the preborn, actually.

The Eucharistic Renaissance is unfolding before our eyes.

Release   August 8th, feast of St Dominic  Update Aug 10   Aug 13

Thank you gentlemen: 25 years in the making and what an amazing tool for study, the Ignatius Bible is!!  You have produced with the guidance we are sure of the Holy Spirit.  Patrick Madrid and others highly recommend it and it only took 3 months for me to get the first copy, finally from Scott’s St Paul ministry.  Now Amazon even has it in short stock and the second came quick.  But a couple of recommends from this dad of 11 kids, 15 10 hens, 8 quail and currently 22 grandkids.   Minor edits, if you will.  You two of course are the wise editors.

The scholarship is incredible: please bear with this lowly Catholic apologist and seasoned exhortationist (very minor to the Scott, Patrick, Drew, Curtis and Trent fab five). Not to mention Doctor Doctor Father Rocky

I’m not even in the same league as  Fr KIA or Know it all, what with his excellent Simonyms. Have you heard of his new country “Reallyreallybadastan”. 

My better moniker, if you need one, is of course Exhortationist and promoter of the Eucharistic Renaissance, the Age we find ourselves in this second half of 2025. For as part of the new Eucharistic Renaissance, the tools are there revived for the spiritually hungry Catholic to spread: Great news since the Father conceptualized His Son as the Ultimate Gift from the non beginnings of eternity long before He even created the humans two: Adam and Eve.

As perfect as the new St Ignatius Bible is, here are some requested updates to the commentary section for next printing.   Actually, just two, Scott and Curtis, in this episode of suggestions.  More in the future if you don’t ban me from applying to that exclusive AwesomeApologistsofAmerica club, Catholic of course.

1.  Passover & Friday the 13th in the first Hebrew month of Abib/aka Nisan

John 19:31.  This is such a beautiful passage, of historical significance, but the commentary leaves both the avid and novice reader wanting.  It’s  almost like an afterthought and skipped in the commentary section: “the sabbath that week was a high one.”   Just how high was it? And…

Why? Because, even though the first Mass was coincident with the Last Supper and Neo Passover fulfillment, the re enactment of the Jewish Passover in circa 33AD followed the true purpose from centuries before: On Friday the 13th in the Hebrew month of Abib/Nissan. 

Of course, the LAST supper is synchronistic with the FIRST Mass, and the true fulfillment of the 10th plague that got the Israelites out from under pharaoh’s thumb.

How do we know it?

By consulting other Scriptures, specifically from the Torah, the first books of the Canonical Catholic bible, plus Joshua and not to mention John’s Gospel.

In Exodus, after nine plagues, God outlined for the enslaved Chosen people what He wanted them to do because He was sending His most severe plague to Egypt, the tenth one.

Exodus 12  verse 1:^* This month will stand at the head of your calendar; you will reckon it the first month of the year.^a   We know it even today, as the month of Abib/Nissan; today Israel and the Jewish people celebrate their lunar year 5785.  The current Jewish calendar from Chabad.org:

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Shabbat
2 Av 27 Nine Days	3 Av 28 Nine Days	4 Av 29 Nine Days	5 Av 30 Nine Days	6 Av 31 Nine Days	7 Av 1 Nine Days	8 Av 2 Nine Days  Devarim
9 Av 3 Tishah B’Av	10 Av 4	11 Av 5	12 Av 6	13 Av 7	14 Av 8	15 Av 9 15 Av  Va’etchanan
16 Av 10	17 Av 11	18 Av 12	19 Av 13	20 Av 14 Chof Av	21 Av 15	22 Av 16  Eikev
23 Av 17	24 Av 18	25 Av 19	26 Av 20	27 Av 21	28 Av 22	29 Av 23  Re’eh
30 Av 24 Rosh Chodesh	1 Elul 25 Rosh Chodesh	2 Elul 26	3 Elul 27	4 Elul 28	5 Elul 29	6 Elul 30  Shoftim
7 Elul 31

“The very first commandment given to Jews while they were still in Egypt was to create a calendar based on the cycle of the moon: “And G‑d said to Moses … in the land of Egypt … This month is for you, the head of the months; first it is for you among the months of the year.”1

The Midrash points out that the Hebrew words for “this month” are הַחֹדֶשׁ הַזֶה, lit., “this renewal.” In other words, G‑d showed Moses the moon in its time of renewal and said to him, “When the moon renews itself, you will have a new month.”2

However, it should be noted that the Jewish calendar is actually a luni-solar calendar.  Although the months of the year follow the lunar cycle, we are commanded to keep the holidays in their proper seasons. If we were to only go by the lunar cycle (as some cultures do), we would have a problem. The solar cycle is approximately 365 days, while the lunar year is approximately 354 days, so the lunar calendar would fall behind the solar calendar by 11 days each year, throwing off the holidays. For example, the holiday of Passover, which is meant to be celebrated in the spring, would eventually fall out in the winter.”

Fascinating information…however for our purposes, read on…

Exodus 12 continues:

A Franciscan U professor discusses the backgrounder of each of the 10 plagues, leading up to the most prophetic and historically relevant, even today: the Passing over of Israel firstborn boys by the angel of death of God’s chosen.  Integral to our Salvation History…

When you read John 19, it’s no stretch that the “high” day was the re-enactment as God directed in His sacred texts, of Passover.

The Blood and Water vs breaking Our Lord’s legs.   Verse 31 is the critical clue to why the Eucharist was instituted bloodlessly on the same day Jesus was crucified: Preparation Day was the Abib 13 and Sabbath was Abib 14 AND Passover 1.0

31Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down.

32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus.

33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs,

34 but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

Next, in Deuteronomy 16:

Observe the month of Abib^* by keeping the Passover of the LORD, your God, since it was in the month of Abib that the LORD, your God, brought you out of Egypt by night.

Yet another reference to Passover with Moses’ successor in Joshua 5:”

Thus, the sabbath, ie Saturday, that week (of  the last supper following Palm Sunday) was a high feast day.  What feast was close in time?  The Jewish Passover.   In Exodus, God ordained the 14th of the first Jewish month would be celebrated each year as Passover; the year Jesus died, it was Saturday the 14th.    Simple math: Jesus instituted the Eucharist and died on Friday the 13th.  QED.

Yet, our modern society believes Friday the 13ths, not as re enactments of the Eucharist and the crucifixion but superstitiously an unlucky day.  Did you know those floating hotels called cruise ships and most major land based hotels skip the 13th floor?  Going from 12 to 14 is an odd way to avoid luck.  But for us Catholics and Christian sects, Friday the 13th undeniably is the LUCKIEST day for us.

Truth be told: it is only UNlucky to hell, because the opponent, translation of the Hebrewized Persian name satan, the devil believed he had won, killed off his chief nemesis, the Eternal Son of the Living God.   But “old hairy legs” satan had NO control over, Easter Sunday, sealed OUR luck as followers of Christ in the Catholic Church for an eternity…and beyond.

So, Scott and Curtis, how about a little revision to the commentary on this.  I believe it IS pertinent and helpful for our troubled age though the recent upturn in reverts and new converts to the Bride of Christ is a promising sign this Renaissance is picking up steam, due in part to the years of the Eucharistic Pilgrimages and Revival. 

 Note this irony: in verse 14 above (“…which your future generations will celebrate with pilgrimage to the LORD”) can you see that OUR Eucharistic Journey is a future now present pilgrimage celebration of the Lord of the NEW Covenant.

Bishop Cozzens and the National Eucharistic Congress should be applauded for their fearless courage to bring Catholics back to the Real Presence.

The four pilgrim routes in July 2024 to the NEC and this year, the Katharine Drexel, patroness of the 2025 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage route that ended at Our Lady Queen of the Angels Cathedral yet another pilgrimage to this time of rebirth. 

Why do you think the Pope of Hope XiV Leo the Lover was voted in precisely on a Marian 8th date, May 8, 2025?!!   No COincidence with God: definitely a Godincidence that heralds a new age in our Church. 

The signs are ALL around us and numerous which we will cite in a later piece.   Never forget: Friday the 13th was no accident.  NOR unlucky.    People of God, at 73, I am a bit tired of our lack of fearlessness, courage and compassion; we hid like lemmings through Covid, a serious unforced error giving hell much more credit than its worth.  Boldness must be our disposition and our banner for literally the world is dying every day we tarry in our fears.

Now for the easy one:  have you ever wondered, peering at the ceiling in your bunny foofoo jammies, why Mary was sent to Fatima on six successive 13ths, not 6 successive first Thursdays or 2nd Tuesdays (normal Tacotime)?

Plus, the last on Oct 13th had 70,000 witnesses see the first SunDance festival, freaking out pretty much everyone there!!  13 IS the Trinity number, ONE God in 3 persons.   God I believe did this six 13s in a row for dramatic emphasis, just as He designed and had built the Eucharistic Direction Finder at the center of the world.  NOT the earth: at the world’s central point.   See Isaiah 19:19-20 for detail and yes, Scott and Curtis, a teeny suggestions for the commentary update

2. Our ancient Middle Eastern forefathers lived real long, easily counted lives !! 

Theory: when God created Adam and Eve as perfect as possible humans, with expectation of living forever in the Garden, wouldn’t their descendants have similar?  Even outside the Garden, the atmosphere for long lives was in play.  UNTIL the recreative massive “remodel” of the earth in Noah’s day commonly called, after 120 years of shipbuilding, the Flood.   Trust the truth, people of God: it was MUCH more than a flood.

Sadly, even though I do love Trent ‘death cookie’ Horn and the prolific Fr Mike Schmidt (I hope he still has his LA $2 bill), I must ask for Curtis & Scott to reconsider Genesis 5 commentary before the next printing of Ignatius Study OT/NT.

A frank reflection on the totality of Creation is a must before the milk toast deflection in the commentary on just how long humans HAVE and can live.  With all due respect, it needs a little meat.  Even, the famous Patrick Madrid got close but fell a little short in making the Quantum Leap in one of his recent morning presentations.  Maybe I am live wrong or dead on: but it’s worth a look:

1. Why give such short shrift to people actually living 969 years?  The majority of the cited ages are odd numbers, meaning the Gen 5 account should be considered as a birthday/life span log, not a Sumerian King 25,000 year exaggeration.   First look through the list (here’s one of many) and you don’t really see a long list of  “approximations” or even “exaggerations”.   The Sumerians claimed their king was 25,000 years old, which IS both an exaggeration AND an approximation. But  not  the  accounts contained in the revealed Word of God and the Torah’s Genesis.
2. At the same time, do we discount Noah’s 120 years with non-Ryobi DeWalt tools turning gopher wood into a three story boat an exaggeration as well? We know Noah existed, since the Eucharistic Renaissance Gift of the Father, Jesus, referred to Him specifically.  And Noah was a mere 480 years old when he started…why couldn’t human beings BEFORE the flood live extraordinarily long lives?  After all, the earth needed to be populated and you don’t get to a billion by wishing.
3. In the geneologies, notice even though Enoch had the shortest recorded life B4 the Flood, he was recorded at 365 years old before God sent His Elfan boat to pick Enoch up.  Ok, too much Lord of the Rings.  But however God took him home we have to wait until heaven to ask yet another question.
4. IRREDUCiBLE Complexity.   This is a great theory that debunks atheistic evolution but it also can be used logically to show 777-969 years could be pretty ordinary.  Early men and women’s bodies, like any of us today, have 35-70 trillion cells EACH; each intricately designed and made.  That verse in psalms, 139:14, shouts this dichotomy of proof that 969 years was what God’s talented design created AND, drum roll, it fits the pattern that rebellious mankind LOST this opportunity to live insanely long lives on earth.   Imagine, sitting around the campfire outside the tents, having intergenerational discussions between great great great grandparents, who were fit as a fiddle, not skeletons and you and your siblings, gaining from their aged wisdom.

5.   Let your eyes and mind think these numbers  through: 930,912,905,910,895,962,365,969,777,950,600,438,433,464,239,230,148,205,175.  Do they look like approximations (rounded numbers) or exaggerations (no 25,000 Sumerian king claim): random yet declining after the Flood event.  Review the ideas, the attempt to rationalize alternatives A,B,C & D in the Genesis 5 commentary (page  65):

   A: Theory that Ages are real as if the Holy Spirit can count. “Concern that Adam~Abram is 20 generations over only 2000 years and the human race spans only 6000 years.  So??  Wow! Imagine that:  all those  billions of years  atheistic  evolutionists having heart attacks. Make sure they don’t look at the Jewish calendar (currently year 5785!!)  People of God, no one alive today was there 6000 years ago, let alone billions upon billions.   Suppose the recorded ages are drum roll, RECORDED AGES?  Worth fleshing out I believe. God did NOT need billions of years to make His universe; but once the atheistic evolutionists came aboard, billions of years was critical to their bizarre theories that man evolved from ape and NEVER giving proof how something came from nothing in the “beginning!”

6. B: Years2months conversion theory is a nonstarter with children bearing children; reminds one of the St Anthony parish minister John Nowakowski’s excellent song “I am my own grandpa!”   

7. Alternative C: Clans NOT individual humans are listed theory.  Big problem is Jesus referred to Noah as a person, not a shipbuildng team and odd idea.  Clans would have different death ages except the one event, the ‘clan of world’s humanity’ dying on the first days of the cataclysm except for the boat people on the Survivors Ark.

8. Alternative D: quote: “Perhaps the BEST hypothesis, and one that would help to explain both the biblical and Near Eastern data, is that giving primeval figures extememly long lives was a way of conceptualizing the great antiquity of mankind: illa est: this may be simply a literary technique used to assert the remarkable age of the human race itself”   OUCH!  Forgive me, great ones, but must we put the inspired Scriptures on the same playing field as Sumerian 25,000th birthdays?  “Conceptualizing the great antiquity of mankind” is well a bit soft on logic but high on double talk.   969 yr long lives means man’s spans shows man has long lives.  Square peg round hole time
   

Please take a tiny part of your lifespan to reflect on this: the universe is both macro and micro.  The width of the universe is estimated to be 535 sextillion miles wide, made up of billions (some say trillions) of stars, galaxies, supernovae, comets etc.   On earth, our six sextillion ton ball of joy was created (ok atheistic evolutionists, you need billions of years though God doesn’t because He’s no changeling) then inhabited with millions of plants and animals, billions maybe trillions of insects like the cockroach and mosquito (who serve some purpose), but God started with just two.  Adam and Eve.

Before dismissing true lifespans verses as allegorical, realize how PRECISE God has been from ALL eternity, a concept we mere humans cannot completely grasp…actually, barely grasp.

Do we really think God can’t record 969 trips around the sun for Methuselah while designing and creating two distinct human genomic homo sapiens, each with 35-70 trillion cells in various tissues, within many organs, 217 bones etc, and the organs systematically matched in ten body systems to take directions from a 100 trillion synapsed 3 pounds of matter brain?  Any God that can design and create that, has NO difficulty in counting His creations’ years and putting them in a birthday book we call Genesis: Beginnings!

And with that level of Perfection, tell me you doubt the Godhead couldn’t design humans to live perfectly long lives, inside and outside of the Garden?

We can’t be that blind should we analyze the why and how of this generational analysis.

Is it that difficult to believe that the first created beings, Adam and Eve lived into their 900s?  We know God created them to live forever in the Garden; even though they failed the test, their genetic superiority didn’t disappear as they left the Garden.

Then look at the others in the geneological accounts graphically seen above

Our new Pope Leo is a math whiz, like my Chesterton Academy Headmaster son Nathan and math genius Fr Holy Joe Horn of St Michael’s Abbey: all three could do a generational regression analysis; when plotted, as in the picture graph, they would see a linearly declining age spans AFTER the flood.  BEFORE the flood certainly NOT as dramatic as after.  You’ve heard of the vapor canopy theory?  Let’s review it because it is pertinent to this commentary deficiency.

Before the flood commenced, Genesis records the ages of the patriarchs: they are exceedingly long, in the 700-969 age range, proximate to “nearly perfect” bodies soon after God created man and woman; Patrick Madrid addresses this on July 3, 2025 but misses out on connecting these life spans, duly recorded, to the idea that humanity was NOT stupid and could record birthdays and how many years someone lived. Yes, I know the patriarchs were as advanced as us because they didn’t have gender reveals, but:  I get it; the ancients lacked the essentials of  computers to record 969 solar revolutions.  Or did we?

For example,  Noah’s life span before (600 yrs) and after, 350 is the critical transition life span, and Mrs Noah, his sons and their wives also but only Noah’s and Seth’s are charted in Scripture.

Common sense sets in:  his sons’ lifespans decreased precipitously as well, since so much of the “perfect” creation was gone, in part AND: they would be subject to much more cosmic and destructive solar radiation with no filtering mechanism left in the atmosphere, experienced aging in ways the pre flooders did not, prior to the worldwide cataclysmic remaking of the earth.

Conjecture?  Depends IF you research and prep.

Though not sure if this scholarly work is popular in Catholic circles, the book “The Waters Above” is a “scientific” review of the composition of the atmosphere, and the world just prior to Noah’s shipbuilding operation over 120 years.

I know, I know, we build them much quicker, especially as we entered WWII. But Noah didn’t have Black and Decker, Craftsman, DeWalt, etc at the ready.   The mere fact it took 120 years for an adult and his sons to build the ocean liner, means taking 600-969 revolutions around the sun seems possible for the lifespans.

Seems a long time to build a boat, therein another proof people lived much longer lives before the flood.  Recall, Adam and Eve were destined to live forever in their human bodies and just because they trended long after the garden department closure, is no reason to magically become 120 years.  Factoid, we just buried a venerable sister at 116.   Where do these numbers come from? Genesis.

Theory goes, in the pre-SPF Hawaiian Tan sun block eras, as the body no longer was protected from cosmic rays and sun with an atmospheric vapor canopy, world wide, our cellular deterioration intensified. And lifespans decreased.   You can plot the math.  Actually it has already been done and we will post it below.

Proofs are out there. The Worldwide Tropics for instance; scientists have found undigested ferns in the stomach of wholly mammoths in the Siberian wilderness.  What does this mean?  The animal lived in the tropics and a sudden instantaneous deep freeze stopped its metabolic mechanisms.

Question for the budding researchers:   ever built a ship to house two or seven pairs of every salvageable animal plus enough food so the  lions don’t feast on the lambs or Noah’s kids? 120 years sans Ryobi and electrical carpentry tools?  Seems reasonable IF as the Bible and Jesus referred to, Noah lived and lived long.

Just suppose God had created the perfect conditions for a much longer life than today, a la 116 for our beloved nun and the 117 years experienced by the Japanese gentleman?

You all know the account that God got angry with man, that led to the 40 days of massive waters coming down and from below. But, to believe my brothers in faith that believe God exaggerated or approximated the age at death of so many, defies logic.

God can’t count?  The Holy Spirit can’t inspire math?  Come on people!

Be honest and look at the secular record. The church seems to soft petal the obvious.  NO WHERE does God declare He needed billions of years to turn a primordial soup bowl into a male or female human.  In fact, 50-70 trillion celled beings from nothing are insane assertions as it is.  And our Church does not even remotely content that evolution created distinct sexes that can populate the earth from scratch.  Or first parents.  Point is, why do we cater to false ideologies, what to “fit in?”

Point is, God doesn’t need a billion or trillion; ONLY manipulative atheistic evolutionists want billions of years so they can claim God DOESN’T exist and not needed to show the splendor of this 55 sextillion mile wide universe.   And when you dig into the microworld as well as the macro, each level shows just how OMNIPOTENT our God is. And infinitely intricate His works.

Like with Covid response, carbon dioxide called pollution and other unforced CAtholic errors of judgement on the tennis court of life, it’s time to stop our wishy washy timidity in challenging the encyclopedic book of pseudoscientific theories.

Happy birthday, Lila Rose (plus Joe’s last name)!   I still think you will be a doctor of the Church..July 27.

We sure generate a lot of heat along with great light in the pro-life movement today.  But, there are excellent ways to help our dying society see and do the Truth.  You know the great orgs, like LiveACTION, Operation Rescue, Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, Students4Life, 40DAY4Life, the list goes on.  But, just as 40Days4Life is known for its prayer warriors, ALL of us need to have a smile on our face as we approach others:  especially those NOT understanding God is responsible and the alpha & Omega of human life.   50 trillion cells of life are gone in an instant by the death merchants in these kill mills across the states and the world.

When, on a typical Saturday morning at Hells HQ at 700 N Tustin, Orange CA, the ladies receive a timeless symbol of life, a rose, and EACH driver or rider as they enter or leave, sees a broad disarming smile, and an offered rose. PLUS the pathway out of hell: fact sheet on Life Centers, just blocks away, or LivingWell, Obria and other prolife alternatives to save the frightened mother and her child.   Irony, the people of Oswiecim renamed Auschwitz Poland did not know what went on inside that train station turned concentration death camp…so no or very few prayer warriors or sidewalk counselors at the gate.

People of God: we know darn well we have no excuse NOT to try and save a mother and child’s wife on any day ending in -Y.

But  please realize we don’t need more stars, we need YOU, more soldiers on the ground, actually on the sidewalks of life and death.   First things first for evangelization 101: strike up a conversation with anyone within 2 feet of you, no matter the size, age, color or wisdom: especially we Catholics have years of unforced errors (post Pfaucinstein evil for example) to make up.

It begins with face2face dialogue and simple Socratic interaction.  But here’s something EVERYONE should know, whether you are a Bishop Cozzens, Freyer, Abs Gomez, Robert Barron.

Here’s the point:  EVERY Bishop including Leo XiV the Lover, the Pope of Hope:  and don’t miss out, it’s happening in EVERY city and state.   In America, dead babies are being tossed out with the trash after their valuable salable organs are separated.  Here’s one we are investigating in the Diocese of Orange.

Truly, this is an opportunity for every pro~lifer out there. UNLESS you have ‘timidity disease’, and boldness and compassion aren’t part of your amazing talents list

The Investigation continues… The Holy Innocents Chronicles

6:40am  Wed Sept 3rd  Planned Parenthood (HQ of Orange and San Bernardino County PP)  Tustin Ave @ 22 fwy

Truck parked in the back.  Usual red buckets loaded.

handwritten note given to the Colton Veolia driver at Browns Colonial Mortuary

Conversation with the driver requesting who we should talk to about buying remains of the remains.

6:30am  Wed July 23rd   Planned Parenthood (HQ of Orange and San Bernardino County PP)  Tustin Ave @ 22 fwy

You can see the red buckets Mr. V from VEOLIA is wheeling into PP HQ Tustin @ 22fwy

The Veolia truck is parked at the back, facing east with its hazards on and the tailgate lift down.    Soon the driver dollies in a load of red buckets, with a few white buckets.   Empties.   Next he wheels out obviously full buckets, red and white;  heads back in for more.  Finally, under security guard James serious gaze, he lifts the gate and begins his drive out the driveway crossing OUR sidewalk strip integrated into the blacktop of this not~so~private Covid Shots & kill mill.

Mr. Faithful Tony from Holy Family stands on the sidewalk’s southern end; Vicky carries her beautiful sign.   Typically, I’m dressed in green scrubs with a stethoscope and the sign on the back that speaks the truth in love.

As the truck approaches Tustin Ave, I tell the driver we are praying for him and I proceed to douse his truck with holy water. After all, it IS a coffin or at least a hearse.  The diesel engine powers what is a funeral ride to the prebirth kids’ final destination, wherever the Veolia truck is heading; we say a pray and listen as James the Greater yells about walking on the PP property.  Sorry, James, you are mistaken.   Even though your employer PP gets no funds this year from Jen Seibel and Gavin Newsom, PP is hired by the state to give Covid shots, meaning the public is welcome.

We have found out Veolia’s weekly run is to drop off emptied buckets and pick up two cargos:   medical waste and we guess in one of the colored buckets or taller plastic trash cans, the human remains of dead prebirth and possibly birthed babies.  Humans. Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

On a recent Wednesday, James asked “Are you really a doctor?”   I said “No, James, I am a fake doctor that doesn’t kill kids. However the $692,000/yr Jon Dunn fake doctors of death inside planned parenthood kill half their patients, the prebirth kind and sometimes take out the moms as well.”

Please pray for Security Santiago (James)  If James listens instead of saying “Oh, you’re just getting video for the clickbaiters”, I tell him the truth:

“…these babies deserve to be properly and respectfully buried or interred, not dumped like trash after PP extracts the pricey organs and usable tissue.”

Today was different.  I told Tony, as soon as the truck hits the end of the driveway, I’d hightail it to my car and chase it down.   Just wanted to see what Mr. V does with the babies and smocks and needles.  After all, Californians have a legitimate right to walk on the asphalt of planned parenthood HQ TustinAve @ 22 fwy.  Gov Newsom turned the PPs into public Covid shot dispensers ( recall, making Covered California employees “essential workers” on site )and they need to dispose organic human parts and non-organics like nitrile gloves, smocks and needles.

7:30am   Planned Parenthood/Melody  17th street Santa Ana

I caught up to Mr. V, the Veolia driver as he headed south on Tustin Ave and turned west(right) on 17th; a few blocks later, he turned into the planned parenthood Melody abortion performer (who calls Auschwitz style killers “providers” hat tip Tony).  As usual, I took some video and pictures.   He pulled up and stopped near the security guard I will call Roman; I shot images of the open back (see the pics) and drove around the corner to wait.    This obviously was a route, maybe weekly, picking up babies and medical waste for an unknown destination.

7:45am   Brown Colonial Mortuary Santa Ana

I still had time so I waited. Ten minutes later, Mr V pulled out and headed west on 17th and turned right/north on Sycamore then pulled into an empty parking lot south of and attached toBrown Colonial Mortuary in Santa Ana.  Mr V backed up his truck about 7:45am to the south wall of the parking lot and turned off his engine.  And waited.  About 15 minutes for an employee of Brown to open up it seemed.

Just before 8am, he drove his box truck up to the rear “receiving” area of the Mortuary, picked up and dropped off empties… he finally got back in the cab and drove back to the street.

CORRECTION & clarification:  I KNOW THE LEADERSHIP AND SOME OF THE WORKERS AT BROWN AND BROWN DOES NOT INCINERATE OR COLLECT PLANNED PARENTHOOD DEAD BABIES.   REPEAT.  THEY DON’T. The great work Brown does is helping grieving families that experience miscarriages, still birth and the loss of young children.  Helping families get a respectful memorial service, even a funeral Mass, before interment at Holy Sepulcher or other cemeteries; this is a Godly service showing how precious life and lives are.  It should be noted: a new section over near where the mom of my 11 on the west end is dedicated to smaller graves and children.  Thank you Holy Sepulcher.

Abortuaries like the Orange and San Bernardino flagship planned parenthood on Tustin@22fwy shows NO respect to God’s created beings, when they are most vulnerable: they first like legal necromancers and Aztec priests of old salivate like the opponent of life, satan, as the spirit is drained from the bodies.

They harvest the marketable parts than toss the remains, in bags & jars, into presumably white buckets of innocence for transport to only God and Veolia know where.

I continued to follow the Veolia truck:  his next destination was a few miles away at St Joseph Providence hospital back in Orange.  He pulled over, hit the hazards and waited outside the building.   I figured I had seen enough and have zero idea what he picked up at St Joseph’s Catholic Hospital.  But, I doubt it was pastries or coffee.   They don’t do abortions at this Catholic hospital.

This is a Catholic hospital and Veolia picks up both dead baby parts and medical waste, like syringes, smocks, gloves etc.   I would hope nothing Mr V was getting from this hospital, where 4 of my 11 kids were born and my lovely wife Donna had 4th stage colon cancer treatment in 2011, was an aborted child.   More investigation to continue; but i hate unsubstantiated innuendos, so prevalent in our culture of death today.  I am guilty of same with regard to Brown Memorial Mortuary and confess this publicly.

Draw your own conclusions.   The containers dropped off at Brown Colonial obviously weren’t for Republic or Waste Management Inc. trash and recycling companies.  BROWN DOES NOT HANDLE ABORTED BABIES

The fact Mr. V got back in his truck after leaving the planned parenthood with both human remains and medical waste at their receiving ‘dock’ leaves one unanswered question:

Where do all the abortions go, long time passing?  Where do all the abortions go, long time ago?”

Does Veolia ship them out of state?   They can’t incinerate them in Calif. ..  or can they?

Brown doesn’t, because Veolia is picking up medical hazardous waste on a route.

Someone, bishops can you help, some org or committee needs to  respectfully have a memorial service then inter the already co-mingled (or separated in jars or Glad plastics) babies in a permanent and reusable grave/plot. 

God is NOT pleased with co-mingled human bodies. This isn’t 1942 in Oswiecim a la Auschwitz 1943.  OR IS IT? Bullets got expensive in 1942, replaced with ZyklonB gas and mass graves until all 3 incinerators were up and running. Kind of like the Empire’s Death Star in Star Wars.

I found out that,  the owners of Brown, innocently, are not aware that Veolia is picking up children and needles from PP before picking up medical waste at their excellent facility…

Brown mortuary’s empty receiving bay AFTER the delivery of bones and needles

 Possibly, there is a contract between Brown Colonial and Veolia to do the same each week.  The contract is to pick up non human medical/organic waste.

These things we can verify doing a little more forensics work.  But this exhortationist and forensic prolifer recommends: GET GOING Bishops and engaged Catholics and people of other faiths: recall, not EVERY dead baby is a Catholic baby. But every human baby reserves proper treatment and disposition, whether interred or cremated.

For our blessed Catholic Church, EVERY diocese has a bishop.  Every bishop can have

AUSCHWITZ WARNS: But will we ever listen?

staff or volunteers investigate what happens to Vietnamese or Catholic or Jewish baby parts in their domain.  Planned Parenthood is an equal opportunity kill mill so we are helping all faiths by properly disposing of the unfortunate lost children who never saw daylight.

Recommend each diocese (Pope Leo can recommend it be done worldwide) look into what happens to the dead Catholic babies mixed in with other human beings at their resident abortion performers (pls don’t use death culture terminology: abortion is NOT health care and you don’t ‘provide’ a kid by killing it, you perform the cult ritual honoring the devil in hell)

St Joseph Hospital Orange meet Veolia

Every bishop can offer $$ to the kill mills like FHP, Albuquerque’s famous late termer kill mill like Southwestern Women’s Options once (maybe still) owned by Dr Boyd …or your neighborhood PP to buy the babies and properly inter them like a civilized society would do.  After all, PP is closing organic mills due to less free money from we Americans.  Hell can’t sustain because it is selling death NOT life.

The closure of the country’s largest in Houston is a false flag blamed on pro lifers:  most of their business now involves moms taking drugs to induce miscarriage and the toilet drop once the child has died.   Whole new area of despair, depression and life loss for motherhood.

America IS a covenant land with so many inhabitants wandering the desert like the Israelites of old.  We need NOT tolerate barbarism like the beheading by radical anarchist Islamists of Nicaragua, Syrian Christians and Druse, and so many other locales worldwide when humanity’s INhumanity to their fellow human being is obvious.

The Church is open to CREMAINS these days but a nice spot in a Catholic cemetery like Ascension, Holy Sepulcher etc could house these abandoned kids until Jesus returns.

In one of the most prosperous dioceses in America, I am sure we can find space;  after all, put on Christlike eyes and think:  wherever the surgical abortions are going, most of each’s carbon footprint already sold off worldwide. What remains, the leftovers, deserves special and prayerful handling, not BY the left necromancers who favor children dead and not heard, but by people of faith willing to put on boldness, fearlessness and compassion.

The Orange Holy Innocence Burial Project:  One possibility for Bishop Vann, Tim and Thomas’ Orange Diocese:

Veolia goes to two Planned Parenthoods for pickup of dead babies, before it stops at Brown Mortuary.  Suppose, we contract with Brown~Veolia and then when Mr V makes his next stop at the Catholic hospital known as St Joseph Providence, the driver can LEAVE the human remains at the hospital for handling by our very capable Orange Diocese network of Catholic Cemeteries.   

Imagine how we can help the godless environmentally bankrupt!   It SAVES Veolia incineration time (like their new state of the art Arkansas facility pictured below) Obviously kill mills can’t separate each dead child but these “lost children of America” can be interred physically in special locations at the different Catholic cemeteries like Holy Sepulcher.

Some of you have seen the words that Jesus uttered about the young people in His time: “Let the children come to Me”.  I believe the perfect spot would be on the north end of the cemetery, the so-called children’s section where the graves are much smaller due to the size of the children that died young, still born, toddlers, etc for different reasons.

We do beautiful in Orange: seen Our Lady of LaVang or the new Christ Cathedral, the gift from that fine Reformed Catholic Dr and Mrs Schuller, and its ornate additions?   

We could design a special designed coffin that weekly would receive the remains of children who never made the cut: actually, other then the dead babies mothers must see in the toilets across America after their two day chemical abortions,  children would be given a modicum of respect and properly interred.

The Children’s Section at Holy Sepulcher, plenty of room for a Holy Innocence Burial “facility”

People of God, realize we are some of the most blessed people on earth but Mother Teresa sees us, due to our stance on abortion, as one of the most poverty stricken countries on earth.  The Church is exploding in Africa, with the blood of the martyrs reinvigorating that continent’s Catholic population.  Meanwhile, our blessed land of “Life, Liberty and Personal Property” is seeing our young adults reverting and converting in droves because, believe it or not, their spiritual hunger needs to be satisfied, not with stale milk but solid meat of the Gospel.  The WHOLE Gospel which includes John 6:  we are in the Neo Eucharistic Renaissance, a rebirth after years of missed opps and unforced errors bowing to the intimidation and indoctrination of the culture of death.   Covid was no accident, nor our feeble response to the abysmal medical terrorism reeked on the world and our land.

Let’s be honest with ourselves: first, I admit I am a sinner.  But God will go easier on Sodom and its sister city, Gomorrah post time into eternity than this country with bountiful riches and opportunities to spread the REAL Gospel. Mother Teresa points out that once America ends, as much as it can, the kill mill convenience mentality and believe little humans are just as important as the post birth world, the WORLD will follow.

Practiced homosexuality, sometimes called “gay” like from the Flintstones theme song, as unwedded fornication (fourth base sex) is evil.

I did some “due diligence” regarding Veolia.   It’s not on par with Davinci BioScience, formerly owned by Hillary “commodities futures queen” Clinton which bought the big pieces on the human organ trafficking market in Yorba Linda.   But…

Incidentally, Veolia IS in the waste disposal business. Veolia Group is a $30 billion worldwide enterprise that does some good in water treatment, energy and other areas.  Veolia North America is the local but no answer what do they do with all the dead aborted babies:

“Veolia North America offers services and solutions for water, waste and energy management for cities, industries and communities. Learn how Veolia helps clients reduce their environmental impact, optimize their resources and achieve their sustainability goals.”

“Who We Serve~~  Veolia is on the ground in more than 550 communities across North America, using our understanding of the complex relationship between water, waste and energy to solve environmental challenges and help customers reach their goals.”

Waste Capabilities ~~We help customers in the industrial, commercial and governmental sectors safely manage waste and treat, recycle and dispose of hazardous and regulated wastes. Our best-in-class team is equipped with unmatched knowledge, experience and technology in order to provide value-added services that protect people and the environment.

(Except Veolia doesn’t provide much protection for the most vulnerable among us:  moms and the children they carry.

Veolia, like so many environmental posers, uses the word “sustainability” all too often

Definition:  A means of configuring civilization and human activity so that society, its members and its economies are able to meet their needs and express their greatest potential in the present, while preserving biodiversity and natural ecosystems, planning and acting for the ability to maintain these ideals for future generations.

Future generations?  Not if we keep killing off the current.

Reagan was right: he was amazed those that love abortion are already alive.   Estimates range from 67 million dead Americans over 4 decades; with chemical abortion now at 75% of the systemic concentrated camp destruction, God only knows and the devil isn’t telling what the numbers are in this covenant land of “life, liberty and property”.

Worldwide, which includes the countries where concentration death camps existed for over a dozen years, it’s about 2.2 BILLION with a “B” for blood.   so far.

The three crematoria at Auschwitz~~ Let’s rename them EOLIA for End Of Life in Americasince VEOLIA is already taken by a multi billion dollar company

Comments and suggestions warmly welcomed.  Use the email Lenbeckman@gmail.com and type in “Holy Innocents Project” in the subject line.  We are ALL in this together and Bishops, PLEASE START YOUR ENGINES.  I am happy to consult for free and help draw up a plan for your own Holy Innocents Burial Project. One of my awesome sons in law is named Elijah and married my #10 Mariposa on Dec 28th, the feast of Holy Innocents

My youngest of 11 is now 21, 22 grandkids and Church involvements at 73 leave me time to do ACTION.  Talk IS Cheaper, the Walk is the key.   My real estate brokerage is doing fine but the world is dying, our dioceses have bright spots but if you have an environmental waste company picking up dead CAtholic kids and other faiths in buckets, without a dignified Mass,  we risk being empty sepulchers like the Pharisees of old.

Always remember, the SMILE disarms and the ROSE engages a woman’s heart, especially one whose “man” wusses out and allows his sperm donored girl to be raped by steel currettes or poisoned with chemicals that kill, kill, kill. Those damnable death doctors of doom like Jon Dunn, who is/was paid only $692,000 a year to kill off 1/3 of the current generation.
