Donald R. McClarey

AMEN!!!!!!!!!
( Sorry about the enthusiasm but I am so grateful for this tribute. )
Biden? Ha. I just can’t see Biden doing anything that would elevate a heroic Catholic figure. A communist figure maybe, but not a Catholic one.
We just interred my grandparents remains at Mt Tahoma National Cemetery Monday.
He passed away a couple years ago, the September before Trump returned to office, but it took my aunt’s a while to get themselves together to do it.
One thing that struck me yesterday: the silver lining of them taking so long was that the presidential letter of thanks bears the Orange Man’s signature and not Biden’s.
On that account, my grandfather would be happy. He’d have probably wanted it burned if it had Biden’s signature on it!
In the photo, Sheen looks like he just returned from sabbatical, saw what the Church is doing, and is about to ask some serious questions!
My Pastor told me that the individuals not qualified to receive Sacraments could stand at the altar all day long until they fell over, there would be no Sacrament.
Pastor did not tell me that the individuals pretending to be “co-presiders” of Mass were committing blasphemy deserving of excommunication, that is, anyone pretending to say Mass without the Sacrament of Holy Orders and the Bishop’s permission is committing blasphemy deserving of excommunication.
Will excommunication prevent blasphemers from sacrilegiously pretending to “co-preside” or women becoming “co-presiders” at Mass?

The Risen Christ asked Mary Magdalene to not hold onto Him, when Mary found Christ in the garden thinking that Christ was the gardener after His resurrection to life.
“Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”’” John 20:17 (ESV)
Christ’s mission to do the will of his Father in heaven would only be complete when Christ presented redeemed creation to His Father in heaven and received from His Father the forgiveness for those who “know not what they are doing,” the forgiveness Christ pleaded for us from the cross, from His Father in Heaven.
Thusly mankind can follow Jesus Christ through death to life, then follow Christ in His Ascension into heaven to be judged in our particular Judgement and in the general Judgement; heaven or hell.

In my state the Democrats are blaming President Trump for their crimes against humanity like giving themselves a raise without a referendum asking the voters before taking their hard-earned tax dollars;
Taxation without representation is slavery…and unconstitutional.
Blessed be Fulton J. Sheen.
Sheen described communism and wrote: The Glory of Being American.
The Ninth Circuit Court told parents that when their children crossed the threshold of the school they, the parents, no longer had nothing to say about their education and/or whatever.
This is kidnapping by the state.
When children are indoctrinated with The Prince and the Prince and/or Heather has Two Mommies or alternate sex acts instead of being taught reading, writing and arithmetic.
This is kidnapping by the state.
When pregnant students are taken across state lines to be aborted without parental knowledge.
This is kidnapping by the state and a violation of RICO.
When children are told that they can change their birth sex and not to tell their parents.
This is kidnapping by the state.
Self government, the government being instituted by the people, all public officials are public servants compensated by hard-earned tax dollars who by birth and citizenship must abide by the Law of the Land, our Constitution.
Public officials are not autocrats. Public officials are servants under the Constitution and may not, cannot, serve an agenda, whether it be the gay agenda or the Nazi agenda or the communist agenda.
In communism, the state owns the person. In freedom the person owns the state.
Go in to any public library supported by hard-earned tax dollars and you will read that Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo and Helen Keller were gay but not allowed to live openly. For celibate persons this is slander using their reputations to scandalize normal children.
B4UAct is professionals suing in a Baltimore court for adult/child sex demanding that children be free to have their sexual desires met by adults. Never mind that minor children do not have sexual consent until emancipation and informed consent.

Carol Shakeshaft said that sex abuse of minor students is 100 times worse in public schools.
I know children who have been abused by a counselor and nobody believed them.
MAGA and give parents the freedom guaranteed under our Constitution.
The communists have said that they will take our children and they have.

BABY M CASE
In terms of paid surrogacy, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that it was “illegal, perhaps, criminal and potentially degrading to women.” The ripples of the court’s decision spread throughout the country, and many states outlawed paid surrogacy or surrogacy entirely.
The sperm donor gives the sperm. The fertilized ovum is endowed with an immortal, rational soul who brings life to the newly begotten sovereign person, a citizen of the metaphysical domain who becomes a citizen of the human domain.
In vitro fertilized human beings have rational, immortal human souls with intellect and sovereign personhood made in the image and likeness of God in the very first single cell, when two become one.
Be who God created you to be is the greatest cross and penance a person can carry.
