Its common sense that when you dilute something it begins to loose its vitality, its power. This is what Commie pope Leo has up his sleeve. When he is not busy mean mouthing President Trump with his faggo Cardinals Cupich and the gang he is busy dragging the Catholic faith down to the protestant level.
In my own family this is well illustrated. Prior to Vatican II a marriage between a Catholic and a protestant or person of any other religion was referred to as a mixed marriage. Vatican II made it easy for mixed marriages. All the spouse had to do was sign a paper stating the children would be brought up Catholic and all was good. Not in my sisters marriage though. I love my sister but she is a liberal and that in itself twists human logic and thought. She married a Lutheran, great guy and good father but not at all religious. He never attended his own Lutheran services, but did go once a year with my sister to mass on Christmas.
My mom being the devout Polish Catholic that she was argued with my sister continuously about it and how she should not marry him. To this day she hates my mother for this. I suppose this should put mom in heaven as she became a white martyr for the faith. My sister being the stubborn liberal she was went ahead anyway and got married. I was even an altar boy at the wedding. He signed the papers stating that the children would be raised Catholic but does really not hold much weight without two strong Catholic parents to see it thru. This is not always the case, I have friends where one parent is not Catholic and their children grew up to be good practicing TLM Catholics. Again take Vatican II out of the equation and things seem to work much better. Others not so fortunate even though the Catholic spouse tried their darnedest to bring their children into the faith. Like they say there is strength in numbers.
As far as my sister goes ya they were happily married but the family had little if any Catholic faith. This was why the church was so wise in discouraging mixed marriages. They knew 9 out of 10 times the children would loose their faith. My nephew married an evangelical, nice girl but not Catholic, and he subsequently converted to her faith. I am sure the kids are not Catholic. My one niece is pretty much lukewarm Catholic, no idea what her children are and the other niece is now divorced living with a man and her daughter now wants to be her son and is going thru the medical steps to assure the change. I met her/him at my brother in laws funeral. He/her was there with he/hers girl/boy friend. What a mess! I am sure a good Catholic upbringing would of cured all of this.
As far as the funeral he had a funeral mass in a Catholic church in the diocese of the Commie Cupich. The priest raved on how my brother in law was in heaven at this very moment looking down on us all. Again false faith, only baptised Catholics can attain heaven (either by water or desire). My neice/nephew had a reading. My sister asked me to do a reading but told I would do anything except particpate in the shame of a mass. I was really suprised she understood my beliefs in the true faith. Maybe there is still hope for this liberal. Meanwhile I sat off in the corner praying my rosary waiting for the whole ordeal to be over as on eagles wings played in the background. Pre Vatican II “Requiem” was more of a wakeup call for the living. “This will be you one day, are you prepared”. Instead the happy talk priests of post Vatican II go about it with a caviler attitude of “don’t worry, we’re all going to heaven anyway”. Hmmm as a safety engineer wearing both a belt and suspenders I think I will repent if you don’t mind.
That “thing” out there of Leo’s is not the Catholic faith. I have no clue what it is! I do know Leo and his commie, Trump hating, faggo Cardinals are making it so easy to be a protestant these days. Last two Sundays I could not make the 65 mile one way trip to the ICKSP because of snow, so did a live stream fromSt. Gertrude the great in Ohio. I really love those guys. They are sedevacantists but at mass never any politics just solid meat and potatoes pre Vatican II Catholicism. Leo claims to be pope and I could care less what he claims to be its totally irrelevant to me. Like Emeral Lagasse would say, “he ain’t hurting my feelings”. By their fruits you shall know them. A pope is supposed to lead people to God. Leo does not, he leads them to pure socialism. The myth of global warming, hatred of conservative (why do you think he is trying so hard to get rid of the TLM?) and a one world huggy kissie lukewarm religion. Word of warning, Christ said, “if you are lukewarm I will spit you out of my mouth”.
Don’t be intimidated by labels or fancy PHD degrees. Find true Catholicism where you can even though we are down to mere crumbs. Never give up and fight for the true faith as it was before Vatican II.
