Lights, Camera, Confession
Being a railroad buff every year I would take a long amtrak rail trip. Many years ago I took the Pioneer Zephyr from Chicago to Seattle. The return trip was on the Empire builder crossing the cascades. Breathtaking scenery while having dinner in the dining car.
The city of Seattle left me with 3 impressions. Clean city, no graffiti that I could see. The women were all attractive and the men very effeminate. Hey like Casey Stengile used to say, “I calls em like I sees em”. By his actions the current Washington state governor, lil Bobby Fergeson certainly fits the bill for a typical Seattle male. He may tell you his is a Catholic is not true, or at least he was until he signed the bill forcing the priest to break the seal of confession. According to church law this carries with it an automatic excommunication. Unfortunately given the current enrollment of the USCCB it more than likely will never be enforced. He will still dance up to the extraordinary Eurcharistic minister for communion as far as confession……………whats that?
Hot button legislation is usually made over the weekend to make sure it gets the least publicity it possibly can. Ms. Fergeson claims he is qualified to make this decision because he has an uncle who is a Jesuit priest. Well, thats the problem right there, Jesuits, just look at the one pushing up daisy’s in Rome to see the path they led the church down. Home health tip: If you ever ingest poison make sure you read any Democrat legislation regarding morality your guarenteed to loose your lunch instantly.
Rumor has it the current salary for Governor of the state is 30 pieces of silver, in one day lil Bobby earned his money.
Now that I got my emotions out of the way time to think logically. This bill can never be enforced to do that cameras would need to be installed in each confessional along with sound equipment. No evidence no case, no case no crime. I attend a ICKSP oratory and they tell us NOT to bring in our cell phones as they can record even when turned off. Canon law states that anyone knowingly recording a confession is instantly excommunicated. Unfortunately given the current state of the church we have no enforcement. Its like running a red light when there are no police around. I broke the law so what catch me if you can! Leave your cell phones in the pew when you go into the confessional box, again no evidence no crime. I have to think even with the liberally slanted supreme court this needs to be struck down. Then there is the catacomb approach, don’t announce or print confession times. Confession? What confession, Fr. so in so never hears confession its never in the bulletin. No smoking gun.
If American bishops and cardinals weren’t busy trying to destroy Trump or pan handling for government handouts or selling church property to muslims they might have time to crack down on these apostate Catholics. Mass excommunications for the entire lot, no one at the same time can be a good Catholic and faithful Democrat. From my lips to God’s ear. This is another reason to elect a good and holy pope. We might find a true defender of the faith and not another cave in artist. They will excommunicate a true prince of the church like Archbishop Vigano, but reward a two bit politician like McElroy.
Two great post on this, one from Anthony Stein return to traditon and one from life site news.
I am also wondering what is getting into President Trump lately. Can’t say I agree with his opinion that “I think Cardinal Dolan would make a great pope”, say what! the laughing apostate? or his team in the religious liberty commission This team consists of a teleevangalist bible thumper and two modernist Catholic bishops, Cardinal laughing boy Dolan and Bishop Bob pants on fire Baron. Oh ya, I have confidence in this group for sure. However Trump being the master chess player I am sure has a plan on all of this. I have to go back and read his play book, Art of the deal.
I also thought his post of the AI generated pope Donald that the walnut crackers of the trad nation are all upset about was hilarious. I thought it was not only hilarious but in all honesty he would be the best candidate for pope out of that whole motley crew, and he probably knows more Catholicism than most of them. However that being said I think Bishop Strickland would of been a better choice for the religious liberty commission and Bannon a better Vatican Ambassador, just my opinion but that and 5 bucks will get ya a ride on the CTA.
