The Winter’s Tale: Shakespeare’s Plea to Make England Catholic Again

In the same spirit that led St. Nicholas Owen to build “priest-holes” to hide Catholic priests from the anti-Catholic authorities in Shakespeare’s England, Shakespeare wrote The Winter’s Tale to conceal an extensive Catholic allegory about the trials and hopes of his fellow Catholics under the reign of King James I. This short article cannot come close to describing even half of the details of this allegory, but it should be enough to convince most serious readers that Shakespeare left us a remarkably devout plea to make England Catholic again.

Reading the Smoke Signals

To question whether shoddy government forest mismanagement is to blame is unacceptable. Rather, lay the blame on all those plastic bags, straws, gas stoves and, of course, systemic racism.

The Lessons of God’s Catechism Class to the World in the Coronavirus Era

Coronavirus Insanity. The Coronavirus response never made sense. We knew from the beginning that either (a) the virus was far worse than the “experts” were telling us, or (b) the response was far more intense than necessary to combat the threats posed by the virus. As we have now learned from the destructive lockdowns, the tyrannical insistence that we cover our faces (it did not really matter what we covered them with), the refusal to treat patients with Ivermectin, and the global persecution of the unvaccinated, it was all an elaborate and deadly farce.

La Salette and Knock: Interpreting the Messages

Heaven’s awareness of the freemasonic revolution against Christ and His Church was made known first to a French nun Sister Marie de St Pierre (1816-1848) and then by her request at La Salette in France on Sept. 19, 1846, where a crowned Mother of God appeared to two children. On a lone mountainside near La Salette, France, on the eve of Our Lady of Sorrows, during the month of the Holy Cross, on the beautiful day of September 19, 1846, Our Lady appeared to two peasant shepherd children named Melanie Calvat and Maximin Giraud. She wept almost for the duration of the apparition, sometimes burying her tear-covered face in her own hands. Melanie would lament that she could not console the beautiful Lady. In this apparition the Mother of God spoke to the children, asking prayers and penance to help her prevent the arm of her Son from falling over mankind for their sins. She also gave secrets to each of the children. Twice, toward the end of this apparition, Our Lady said, “Well, my children, you will make this known to all my people.” Here are some of the words she spoke that are part of those secrets she gave to the children to spread:

Hospitals in US’s Largest Catholic Healthcare System Provide Sex Change Operations

As a public juridic person in the Church, CHCF is the juridical equivalent of a diocese or parish or religious order in the Catholic Church. As a public juridic person, CHCF is not merely affiliated with the Catholic Church; it is the Catholic Church, an official part of the Church itself, with a munus or duty assigned to it by the Church, and able to act publicly in the name of the Church.

Edward Pentin | PARIS — The authors of two articles published in the progressive French Catholic daily La Croix have drawn attention to how Pope Francis’ restrictions on the Traditional Latin Mass have fueled a growth in support for the ancient liturgy among young Catholics, producing the opposite effect to what was intended and posing a dilemma for bishops and for Rome.

The Signs of the Times Point to Our Need for the Sacred Heart of Jesus

“Nothing, as a matter of fact, is more suitable to the needs of the present day than your enterprise. To pervert, both in private and in public life, the concept of morality engendered and fostered by the Church, and, after having almost effaced the last vestige of Christian wisdom and decency, to lead human society back to the miserable institutions of paganism, such is the plan which too many are trying to realize today. Would that their efforts were fruitless! Moreover, the attacks of the wicked are directed primarily against the family.” (Father Mateo Crawley-Boevey, Jesus, King of Love, p. 196)

Pope Francis, a Master of Contradiction, “Physician, heal yourself!”

Reuters, the news agency, informs us that the Vatican’s communications department released on Monday, May 29, 2023, a 20-page document dated 28 May 2023, Solemnity of Pentecost, entitled, ” Towards Full Presence. A Pastoral Reflection on Engagement with Social Media.” In it the Vatican urged bishops and high-profile lay Catholic leaders to tone down their comments on social media, saying some were causing division and stoking polemics that harmed the entire Church. It warns of the dangers of fake news on social media and other forms of abuse. It condemned polarization and extremism that had led to “digital tribalism” on social media, saying individuals were often locking themselves in silos of opinion that hindered dialogue and often led to violence, abuse, and misinformation. It insists that “The Christian style should be reflective, not reactive, on social media. Therefore, we should all be careful not to fall into the digital traps hidden in content that is intentionally designed to sow conflict among users by causing outrage or emotional reactions.” It states that “The problem of polemical and superficial, and thus divisive, communication is particularly worrying when it comes from Church leadership: bishops, pastors, and prominent lay leaders.”
