Kennedy: my younger siblings also attended Catholic Central Highshool in London, ON. I'm 80. Prairie Grandpa. Am watching our six Grand kids get born and start their earthly journey . . . in healthy [ physical; familial; "fun" ] practicing Catholic families. The eldest is 9. "Z" Gen kids are foreign to me. But your "schpiel" HAS been informative, enlightening. Obviously I'm not a product of the going media, but can see how it CAN form "artificial" people.

To "cut to the chase" —leaving a huge "gap" between human and family-formed kids and those who are media-formed —Consecration to St. Joseph [ using Fr. Don Calloway's book by that title as guideline ] has 24/7 kept me on a "SHORT leash" from doing much damage [ if any ] to my [ Grace-driven; sacrificial; HAPPY; peaceful ] day-by-day on Earth.

Into our 43rd year of marriage, my wife and I keep our Grand kids "Covered": daily prayers

and "on call" for any and all practical help. We understand this as our Grandparental

Vocation.

With "Thanks!", keep your reflections on current developments coming!

In Christ,

Prairie Gramps Bob & Grandma Elizabeth

Interestingly, your take recalls the leftist, modernist "Father" Richard Rohr. Rohr stated that we always look for the "contaminating element," the impurity or hidden power that must be purged to effectuate real change. Yet, haven't we seen and experienced, over and over and over again, that there is such an element, a legion of degenerates, liars, and manipulators? Yes. The answer is that, yes, there are identifiable enemies. Not different points of view. Enemies. The great, transformational leaders in history refused to accept nothing could be done. Glorious is this eternal struggle. We need to unleash the ancient fury against those enemies - a harsh reckoning. And, we know there is always a reckoning, and young men will be the ones to lead it, once again.

Thank you for this video Kennedy. Your comments here were spot on, if not with a few crucial points missing, but are all greatly appreciated. I am a freeloading free subscriber, not because I would not be paid subscriber otherwise but because I am old, ill, and live on a fixed income. and frankly, I have been tapped out on my internet subscription costs for sometime. I first blundered upon your blog a couple of years back when I recognized a familiar name being bandied about in one of your postings and listened in out of curiosity. Not long after that I was hooked and waiting for every next installment.. Ironically, In full disclosure and for much of my life, this individual that you have frequently mentioned in your various works, Ralph Martin, was a neighbor and friend since my teen years in the1960's until around 20 years ago when I moved away from Ann Arbor MI.

Even though I found myself compelled to attend the TLM a few decades ago and actually did so daily for a while, the celebrant turned out to be a child predator and that as the end of that. What you have provided me in your postings is knowledge of what the actual issues are concerning the TLM and Traditional Church debate and on that basis alone, I am 100% sold. As a young child I found the real Catholic worship of the day to be so compelling that I would pray almost constantly, attend our Savior in Eucharistic adoration at every opportunity, and attend the 5:00 AM mass each day before school. My life as a genuine Catholic ended unbeknownst to me with Vat II and the subsequent the gutting and destruction of our sanctuary, and the destruction and burning of all of our church's sacred literature of which I was a was regrettably an ignorant but willing participant. It became abundantly clear to me of late through you that this was the end of my practice of the genuine Catholicism that had allowed me the possibility to succinctly practice attendant worship of God precisely in the manner He wished me to and to exercise the precise personal obedience to God I had become accustomed to where it was God Himself who compelled me into the exercise of participation in my destiny of Sainthood. I just wanted to say, keep up the good work and to give credit where it is due. Who knows, I may yet become a real Saint, not in small measure because of your astute efforts. I wanted to make a comment on this particular posting but I am short of time at the moment and will do that separately when I get the opportunity.
