In order for the confection of the Holy Eucharist to be valid, there must be proper matter, proper form, and proper intent. (The priest must also be properly ordained.) Many Catholics may be surprised to learn that it is far from guaranteed that all, or even any, of these requirements will be met at a given Novus Ordo Mass.

For example, “proper matter” refers to the bread, wine, and water used to confect the Holy Eucharist. Canon 924 provides that the bread must be made of wheat. Canon 926 provides that the bread must be unleavened. Canon 927 forbids consecrating just one species without the other.  Canon 924 also provides that the wine must be natural and unspoiled.

Big Nov. 2^nd wins for pro-life, pro-God, and pro-American politicians. What does it mean for 2022? Michael Matt is cautiously optimistic, now that Biden has left globalism banged up and bruised at the polls. 

Plus, what do Elon Musk, Bill Maher, and Greta Thunberg have in common? They’re all fed-up Leftist influencers, who are obviously not going to go down with the USS Biden. Are the wheels coming off The Great Reset even before liftoff? 

As Michael Matt described in a recent Remnant TV video, Francis has now decided that even Our Lord’s Good Samaritan parable can be distorted to advance the globalist agenda:

“Do you know what comes to mind now when, together with popular movements, I think of the Good Samaritan? Do you know what comes to mind? The protests over the death of George Floyd. It is clear that this type of reaction against social, racial or macho injustice can be manipulated or exploited by political machinations or whatever, but the main thing is that, in that protest against this death, there was the Collective Samaritan who is no fool!” (October 16 video message)

Reading this we may forget that the Good Samaritan helps a wounded man rather than terrorizing everyone who has even the slightest superficial resemblance to the robbers. Setting that aside, what are the wounds to be healed by these so-called Good Samaritans? For Francis, decency, common sense, and traditional beliefs are among the “wounds” that must be “healed” before his globalist friends can radically reshape the world. His version of the Good Samaritan heals by destroying.

Men like Francis continually push the boundaries of offenses they can commit against God.

At the Catholic Identity Conference 2021, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski dropped a bombshell on the pious but wrongheaded belief that Catholics owe blind obedience to the pope, even when his commands are evil or unjust.

On the occasion of the October 29 visit to the Vatican, the press agencies^[1] have spread the news that Joe Biden reported the content of the meeting and said that Francis called him “a good Catholic,” inviting him to “continue to receive Communion.” It is disconcerting that, to date, no clarifying comment has come from the Vatican Press Office. This leaves us to presume that Joe Biden’s words correspond to the truth and that Bergoglio actually spoke them.

To His Excellency
Msgr. José Horacio Gómez
Metropolitan Archbishop of Los Angeles
President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

To Their Eminences and Excellencies
The Archbishops and Bishops of the Dioceses of the United States of America

And, for their competence:

To His Eminence
Cardinal Luis Francisco Ladaria Ferrer, s.j.
Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

To His Eminence
Cardinal Gerhard Ludvig Müller
Prefect emeritus of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith

23 October 2021

Your Eminences,
Your Excellencies,

I address you, Archbishop Gómez, as President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and to You, Cardinals Ladaria and Müller, for your competence, some serious considerations related to the so-called vaccines against Covid-19.

In his October 9, 2021 address to open the Synod, Francis put the Church and world on notice that he intended to change the Church, invoking the pseudo-Catholic inspiration of Yves Congar: 

“Father Congar, of blessed memory, once said: ‘There is no need to create another Church, but to create a different Church.’  That is the challenge. For a ‘different Church,’ a Church open to the newness that God wants to suggest, let us with greater fervour and frequency invoke the Holy Spirit and humbly listen to him, journeying together as he, the source of communion and mission, desires: with docility and courage.”

“Mum, I have something to tell you and you won’t like it.”

Before 2021, a phone conversation that began that way might have led to a parent being told that their teenager had written off the family car. Or that someone close to them had conceived a child out of wedlock. But this is 2021, and parents must be prepared to hear of alarming new disappointments.

“I went and got the shot and now I have pains in my heart.”

We've dropped a few clips from the recent Vatican conference on health and vaccines into one of the recent Project Veritas videos on the connection between the Pfizer vaccine and abortion.

Why? Because Pope Francis had the CEO of Pfizer speak at that Vatican conference, along with Tony Fauci and Chelsea Clinton. Is Francis ignorant of the Pfizer/Abortion connection? Is he malicious? Why would he not be calling for a religious exemption for the world's 2 billion Catholics? 

Suppose you are a faithful Catholic in 1948 and you read the following passage from the book Bishop Fulton Sheen had recently written, Communism and the Conscience of the West:

“The third temptation in which Satan asked Christ to adore him and all the kingdoms of the world would be His, will become the temptation to have a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a religion to destroy a religion, or a politics which is a religion — one that renders unto Caesar even the things that are God’s. . . . Because his religion will be brotherhood without the fatherhood of God, he will deceive even the elect. He will set up a counterchurch which will be the ape of the Church, because he, the Devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the Antichrist that will in all externals resemble the Mystical Body of Christ.”
