The was a competition to see who was top dog of the university Basketball teams locally in, or around the city of Chicago. The teams involved were DePaul, Northwestern, Loyola, and Bradly university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was working in the Walgreen Co. drafting room at the time and a bunch of the guys decided to make an outing of it. Dinner in Evanston then off to the game. Just a night out with the guys. It turned out to be a really enjoyable time, with one exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very beginning of the game a hot dog player tried a slam shot, hung on the rim, and busted the backboard to the boos of the fans. 15 minutes went by, 30 minutes then the ace maintenance crew came out with a replacement back stop. They take the old backboard off, that took another 15 minutes, then found out the replacement would not fit so it was back to find a new replacement. An hour and a half and the game finally resumed. At that point in response to the tom foolery going on down on the court with the grounds crew one of my fellow workers elbowed me in the ribs saying, \u201cNo matter where you go these days, the idiots are in charge, business, politics now even sports, the idiots are in charge\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add another one to that Fritzie, the Catholic church. Must be something in the Roman water. It wasn\u2019t always like this. Two world wars seemed to whittle the stock down. Prior to the wars the mayors of small European towns were usually the local parish priest. The reason, he was the smartest man in town. Or so at least that is what many WW2 vets have told me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Socialists have taken over the Catholic church. The emphasis is no longer on God or saving souls. The truth is you don\u2019t need intelligence to be a socialist. We have seen that in so many socialist regimes that fail to function because of lack of intelligence of understanding the human race or limits. We saw that at Jamestown here in the U.S. Every one shared the profits of the colony. Problem is some worked hard others not at all but they all reaped the same benifits. The result, the workers stopped working because there was no gain for them.  They got the same rewards as the slacker who did nothing.  The first year they almost all starved to death. Capitalism works, socialism does not. Don\u2019t give me that guff about Leo XIII encyclical. He specifically talked about \u201cUnbridled\u201d capitalism and praised the common man for his right of  property ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what does this have to do with the idiots running our church? Logic 101, premise #1 socialism is pursued by idiots and always winds up in failure. Premise #2 The prelates of the Vatican 2 church are socialists.  Conclusion The Vatican II socialist church will fail. Problem is they are trying to take what is left of the Catholic faithful with them. A friend of mine Mary Kreitzer wrote an excellent piece on how these so called <a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/home\/post\/p-192201974\">Catholic prelates are selling off your Catholic heritage<\/a>. This sad story is not uncommon. In Chicago <a href=\"https:\/\/www.complicitclergy.com\/2023\/07\/02\/cupich-still-planning-to-sell-historic-church-to-promoter-of-immoral-events\/\">Blase Cupich is selling the Historic St. Adleberts church to a purveyor of live sex acts<\/a>. The object is for money, not faith. If the faith was there those churches would still be packed. They had plenty of time to empty since the introduction of the mass of Paul VI in 1969.  Yet if approached by the SSPX to buy the property and to restore the church to its original purpose they are shown the door with a huge boot mark on their rear. Get this clear, they want the money, not the Catholicism associated with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, socialists don\u2019t believe in God, they believe in themselves and pursuit of their own pleasures and that is what we now got running the Catholic faith. The Bergoglian line of popes has to be the worst so far. Jorge Bergoglio was crude and obnoxious but we all knew where he was coming from. I heard he was a bouncer in a bar. This makes sense his only two interactions with people were probably, \u201cLet me see your I.D.\u201d and if someone did not stack up to the rules of the house it was, \u201cOK, Get the H*ll out of here!!\u201d. The second phrase is something all us Traditional Catholics are used to hearing from him. This is the new Catholic church. If you don\u2019t like it, then get out. At least with Frank you knew where you stood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leo the looser is a different animal all together. He is a Champaign communist as Frank Walker calls him. He is a consummate liar who never reveals all the facts. He likes the finer things, expensive fancy vestments, fine dining. Right after elected pope he sent for his favorite South American chef to prepare a special duck dish he loved and kept him on at the Vatican kitchen. Remember this when your parish is closed to merge with a neighboring parish because it is too expensive to run both. I guess you need to sell off church property as well to support this kind of life style. Every weekend Leo spends at Castel Gandolfo, He dines on fine cuisine served up by his favorite sodomite celebrity chef Art Smith and Smith\u2019s husband. Tell me what is Catholic about this? Gluttony, applauding open sins of the flesh? A mans soul is no longer important its all about pleasing mother earth and our own personal desires and pleasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And where are these apostate Catholics getting the cash for their lavish life styles. If your Novus Ordo from the hard earned cash you plop in the collection basket every Sunday. If your one of the poor saps contributing to Peter\u2019s pence its probably used for the campaign of some woke liberal Democrat running for office. Don\u2019t scoff the First Bergoglian pope skimmed funds from that for the Hillary Clinton for president campaign in 2016. Another good source of income for these scumbags with cassocks are all the properties being sold we just talked about. If you want to stop the rot in the Catholic church, its simple, cut off the cash. Leo and his band of thugs are like drug addicts. Stop the drugs, clean up the druggie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In ordo to neutralize the panic in the Vatican over the pachamama pope leo\u2019s journey into the occult back in 1995 the Vatican is resorting to an ago old tactic of theirs. Change the subject quick!! Leo the lip comes out with this when addressing the French bishops recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>May the Holy Spirit inspire you with concrete solutions that allow for the generous inclusion of those sincerely attached to the \u2018Vetus Ordo,\u2019 in respect for the directions desired by the Second Vatican Council in matters of liturgy,\u201d the message said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trad inc is already wetting their pants over this one! \u201cOh we are sooooooo back\u201d. Not really.  Leo was born and raised in Chicago, the birth place of Democrat political maneuvering and double talk.  If  look at the wording. Leo the Liar says, \u201cconcrete solutions that allow for the generous inclusion of those sincerely attached to the Vetus Oro\u201d. He says nothing about the Latin mass or its restoration and specifically mentions \u201cdirections\u201d of Vatican II. Again reading work of human hands that is what Vatican II was all about. Changing the religion. To do that both the notion of divine presence and the traditional Latin mass has to be thrown on the trash heap. All this quote means to me is INDOCTRINATION you know, educate the poor souls following the real Catholic church of the past and make them accept the changes. Like the movie Catholics, \u201cGet that old fool off the Mountain, James\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The front page of my website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tridentinecatholic.com\/\">tridentinecatholic.com<\/a> has links to traditonal Latin mass groups worth supporting. Support those people and not Leo\u2019s weekend orgies at Castel Gandolfo. Do that and we just might be able to take our church back and make Catholicism great again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in the 1980s Northwestern University sponsored what was called the Chicagoland cage Classic.
