The Mystical Body of Christ and the Great Reset

For the sake of argument, let us assume that the Catholic Church truly is the Mystical Body of Christ. In his 1943 encyclical on the Mystical Body of Christ, Mystici Corporis Christi, Pope Pius XII described the relationship between the graces won by Christ on His Cross and the role of the Church in distributing them:

WAR IN HELL: A Report on the DC Stop the Steal Rally

What concerned me more than anything was the language of almost all of the speakers. Even though they knew who the enemy was, and why he was the enemy, and that the last hill had to be held against him, the battle cry was still not the one it had to be to obtain victory against him. It was shaped by the same appeal to the Divine Founding Fathers, their unfailing brilliance, their “will”, their understanding of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, our political system as the “last, best, hope of Mankind”, and American Exceptionalism as always. In other words, it was an appeal, still now, on “the last hill”, to the Moderate Enlightenment message of John Locke that got us into this mess in the first place; that brought us to a state where, in the words of Justice Kennedy, we are all as individuals entitled to create our own reality—no matter how certainly that kind of a “right” ensures the Triumph of the Will of the criminal and criminally insane.

Bishops Schneider, Strickland on the Morality of Vaccines

A growing chorus of churchmen (bishops’ conferences, individual bishops, and priests) has said that, in the event that no alternative vaccine using ethically licit substances is available, it would be morally permissible for Catholics to receive vaccines made from the cell lines of aborted babies. Supporters of this position invoke two documents of the Holy See: the first, from the Pontifical Academy for Life, is titled, “Moral reflections on vaccines prepared from cells derived from aborted human fetuses” and was issued on June 9, 2005; the second, an Instruction from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is titled, “Dignitas Personae, on certain bioethical questions ” and was issued on September 8, 2008. Both of these documents allow for the use of such vaccines in exceptional cases and for a limited time, on the basis of what in moral theology is called remote, passive, material cooperation with evil. The aforementioned documents assert that Catholics who use such vaccines at the same time have “the duty to make known their disagreement and to ask that their healthcare system make other types of vaccines available.”

Election 2020: The Ave Maria Game

Still, those who cared about the sport knew that they would look back with regret and shame if they walked away at any point prior to either victory or a complete explanation of the irregularities. And so it was that the true Lights finally decided that they had only one play remaining, their last Hail Mary. They got on their knees and prayed the Ave Maria. Some things are too important to leave to anyone other than Jesus Christ and His Mother.
