The Vortex — The Secret Email (www.youtube.com)

And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

What you were never supposed to see.

As we showed you in yesterday's Vortex, Church Militant has come into possession of a secret email sent to all the U.S. bishops more than 20 years ago. It's from the Catholic Medical Association, and it outlines the serious, grave issue of homosexuality within the clergy and how it is the cause of the sex abuse crisis.

We are making the email available to you for your own viewing, downloading, printing and general distribution. Just click on the provided link. It details not only the homosexual nature of the sex abuse crisis but goes on to make a very serious case against ordaining men with same-sex attraction.

It goes into incredible detail, from a psychiatric perspective, of the dangers of these men in the clergy. At one point, a very telling line says, "Priests should be screened for homosexuality by their bishops or religious superiors prior to being considered for a position of responsibility in a diocese, religious community, or in the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops."

That conclusion raises the very serious question of just how Msgr. Jeffrey Burrill is now the pastor of a La Crosse, Wisconsin, parish. He was just made pastor by his bishop, William Callahan. Callahan is the same bishop who kicked out Fr. James Altman for saying Democrats can't be voted for because they kill children, and the pandemic was a scam.

The Vortex — LGBTQ "Catholic" Liars (www.youtube.com)

How can they face the truth?

There is a massive lie within the gay community (among many) that within the Church, homosexual priests are not the problem when it comes to clerical sex abuse. That is an enormous lie, a Joseph Goebbels–sized lie.

Consider this one simple reality, a known fact: More than four out of every five sex abuse victims were postpubescent boys. That is the very definition of homosexual.

Those numbers, for the record, are from the U.S. bishops' own report they commissioned through the college of John Jay in 2004. But two years before that report, Wilton Gregory, who was president of the bishops' conference at the time, admitted that it was a homosexual problem.

Remember the timeline here: The Boston Globe dropped its first bombshell report on the clerical sex abuse crisis in January 2002. The paper kept rolling out investigative report after investigative report showing massive sex abuse and cover-up by bishops.

Three months later — April 23, 2002 — then-Bp. Wilton Gregory stood in front of a crowded press office in the Vatican and publicly stated the following: "It is an ongoing struggle to make sure that the Catholic priesthood is not dominated by homosexual men." His comments came directly in reference to the sex abuse crisis.

Likewise, in that exact same context and international press conference, Pope John Paul's spokesman, Joaquín Navarro-Valls said, "People with these inclinations just can't be ordained."

As further proof, Church Militant has obtained a secret 12-page email sent to all the nation's bishops in June 2002. It's from the Catholic Medical Association and reveals the full scope of not only the tragedy, but that bishops were informed by their own professionals that this was indeed a homosexual crisis.

The Vortex — One Simple Test (www.youtube.com)

And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

And by this, you will know them.

Advent has arrived once again, and with its arrival, the twisted theology of the "homoheretics" is in full bloom as well, never missing an opportunity to make the sinful acceptable.

James Martin, a "gay theology" priest of the gay-riddled Jesuits, has kicked the season off quite well. And, as usual, expect no recrimination from any bishop or superior, not even a word of caution to the laity.

On Sunday, Martin tweeted out the following: "Gospel: Something new is coming. That's the message for the First Sunday of Advent. The key is noticing. 'Stay awake,' as Jesus says today. "A Gospel meditation here."

Martin claims the message for Advent is noticing that "something new is coming." He calls that noticing key. That's stupid. That's not the message, nor is it what's key about the first Sunday of Advent or any of the Sundays of Advent. Advent is about the second coming of Christ, also known as the Day of Judgment.

The inane claim that we are all supposed to just stand around and notice the King-Judge of Heaven returning to bring history to a close and render our final judgment? Come on, Jimmy. I don't think anyone will have to try and notice Christ on the clouds of Heaven. It'll be pretty obvious.

Then he goes on and links his hundreds of thousands of deceived followers to a Facebook link, with a tidy little "meditation" to ponder. The drivel drives the reader into a false belief that Advent is really just all about desire.

No, Jimmy. Advent is about preparation for our deaths when we will each face our personal judgment and be pronounced saved or damned. That is a day-to-day theme for every person, but in Advent, in particular, it is set against the backdrop of the last day, the general judgment.

There is a little link at the end of the wildly misleading meditation which takes the reader to the group "Outreach," an LGBTQ "Catholic" resource. That group espouses all the usual pro-sodomy propaganda you would imagine, dressing it up as Catholic.

Martin and his co-gay, wicked allies are the absolute masters at distorting everything they can in Scripture, to give the "Good Housekeeping" seal of approval to sins of the flesh, especially gay sex. Of course, they have a dog in that fight, so that's to be expected.

Notice that Evil Jimmy, while lauding the "beauty" of the first reading from Isaiah and distorting the words of Our Lord in the gospel, deftly managed to completely avoid the second reading — St. Paul's Letter to the Romans, with its dire warning about the need to change our lives, lest we be damned:

"Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and lust. ... Make no provision for the desires of the flesh." Hmm, we wonder why that line didn't get the high-profile visibility.

Nah. Actually, we don't wonder at all. We know why, and so do you, and so does James Martin. That line is as plain as the evil in Martin's writings, which is to say, as plain as the nose on your face.

The Vortex — Silver Bullet or Silver Bells? (www.youtube.com)

Make the right buy.

In these troubling times — times, it appears, are only going to grow more troubling — various knee-jerk reactions have set in with some good people. Emotionally ill-equipped for the abyss of evil they find themselves staring into, they either deny it or downplay its significance.

They routinely poo-poo the reality of the crisis — attacking the messengers, making up excuses; whatever works best for them. You can refer to this group as the "whistling-past-the-graveyard gang."

But there is another very common "knee-jerk reaction crowd" as well. We can call this gang "the silver bullet contingent." They understand the evil and its depth facing them square in the face, but instead of admitting the long-haul battle needed to combat it, they scramble about for a silver bullet — the easy-way-out approach.

So they are more inclined to turn to prophecies and visions and inner locutions. They follow after anyone who comes along with a quick cure for what ails the world.

Both types, the whistle-past-the-graveyard gang and the silver-bullet contingent, are off base. They may be motivated by good intentions of wanting things to be right, but as the old saying goes — one that exists for a reason — the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

What needs to be embraced, in all its horror and consequent realities, is this: The world, including the Church, did not arrive at this point suddenly — and it will not pull back from it with denial or a quick cure. Where we are was arrived at over a long period of time: many players, many moving parts but one goal in mind — the destruction of Catholicism.

The change must be Catholic.

I'm coming to you from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where the famous battle was fought during this nation's Civil War. The fate of the nation, as a united nation, really hung on the outcome of this battle, as Pickett's forces marched across the field to attack the Union forces on Cemetery Ridge.

We're here because the fate of the nation once again is in the balance, some believing it may already be determined and lost. How did we get to the point where we are now? The ultimate answer is quite simple: There are foundational problems with America.

One of those problems resulted in the massacre and tremendous loss of life right here in Gettysburg. But the foundational problem now laid bare is of a different magnitude and kind.

America was founded on political principles that, when carried to their extreme, allow for the defiance of the natural law and for the political order to revolve around a rejection of the good and true, if enough citizens desire that.

Well, the question of cheating itself aside, it is now clear that too many Americans have, in fact, chosen to reject the good and the true.

This has been true all the way back to the Garden of Eden, but here's the rub: The U.S. government foundationally accepts that a citizenry is free to do this if a majority choose to.

Prepare for battle.

When we think of the Founding Fathers of the United States, we tend to think of middle-aged or even older men. That's understandable because the portraits we have are of them in their later years, so the "old dude" image is kind of frozen in our national psyche. But the reality is actually not that close.

Some of the most famous of the Founding Fathers actually qualify as more like "Founding Teenagers" or "Founding Twenty-somethings." Look at this list:

- James Monroe, 18
- Aaron Burr, 20
- Alexander Hamilton, 21
- James Madison, 25
- John Paul Jones, 28
- Thomas Jefferson, 33

And the old guys:

- John Adams, 40
- Paul Revere, 41
- George Washington, 44

And while drawing comparisons to our current crisis, we should also bear in mind that it was a very small minority of men who would prove to be patriots who rose up against their oppressors. The overwhelming majority of colonists, enormous numbers, did not fight in the War of Independence.

There were enormous odds for these young guys because the British did have every advantage, on paper at least. But they had heart, faith and grit. They had a lust for justice. That should serve as a hope and inspiration for today's Catholic youth.

Sooner or later, you have to.

According to a new Rasmussen poll, a majority of Americans, 57%, are willing to concede that the election outcomes may have been influenced by cheating. And, interestingly, it would appear that a majority believe mail-in balloting has become the vehicle for this.

It's the same states that seem to keep having problems counting in a timely fashion, and election officials there conventionally blame all their counting woes on the vast number of mail-ins. It's also those same states where the close elections always tip in favor of the Democrats as the counting goes on and batches of ballots keep appearing.

And, of course, the media is right there to explain that this is just how it works, and everyone has to just calm down. However, and this is where the rubber hits the road, there is an unwillingness to actually deal with the actual reality underlying any chicanery that has taken place.

If cheating has happened — now in two successive elections — it is proof that we have reached the point in America where it can happen. It should never have gotten to this point, but it has.

It's almost like the superior team complaining about a bad referee call that cost them the game against an inferior foe. While that may be true and maybe even very likely, if the team was so good, it should never have been in that position to begin with — where the entire game comes down to a bad call.

But that's where American politics has now descended to. A majority of Americans are, at least, suspicious and distrusting of the outcome, and so what? Are there mass protests in the streets like in Venezuela?

Are there demonstrations in front of governors' mansions in the affected states? Are there pickets outside the homes of the secretaries of state who were likely involved in all this (if indeed it did happen)?

For that matter, where were all the voters, years ago, when the Marxists were slowly taking control and putting themselves in a position to steal outcomes?

Here's the bottom line, the reality that needs to be squarely faced: America simply has not suffered enough yet. It will. Oh, it certainly will.

Sometimes, one moment reveals everything.

Some of you may have heard me relate the following before, but given the times, it bears repeating, and for the record, which will become clear, I was an eyewitness to this.

I attended freshman year of high school, the second semester anyway, in San Francisco's Sacred Heart school. The year was 1976, so the country's bicentennial happened while we were living in the City by the Bay.

We had an apartment directly across the street from St. Mary's Cathedral, the temple to modernism that looks like a washing machine agitator — horribly ugly, surpassed only by the ugliness of Cdl. Mahony's Los Angeles monstrosity.

Anyway, the celebration of the country's 200th birthday was occasioned by a noon Mass at the cathedral, where Abp. Fulton Sheen was the guest homilist. I was one of the lead altar boys at the cathedral and served at the Mass. I got to hear Sheen preach about faith and patriotism.

I heard him with my own ears, sitting barely 10 feet behind him. His words were so powerful, so moving, so touching that I used them a few years later in a story I did on July 4 when I was a reporter in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

But it would not be those words that would make the lasting mark in my memory — what I think of as "the Sheen moment." In fact, most in attendance that day at the bicentennial Mass did not hear what I heard. A few did; including my father, who stood in the doorway to the sacristy.

What next?

A personal reflection, if I may, on the very sad and disappointing outcome of the midterms: We got out of the studio here around 2:30 in the morning after a nearly nine-hour marathon. As I was driving home in the dark of the wee hours in the morning, my thoughts raced. I went to bed very sad, and woke up sad but accepting of a new reality.

It's not that the world suddenly changed in the wake of the midterms. It's that the midterms simply revealed kind of a final presentation of what had been brewing for quite a while. And what that is, is simple: There has been a foundational shift in civilization.

Looking at this, as I said, from a very personal point of view, stay with me here. I'm 61. The institutions that were the embodiment of cultural life no longer exist. In my life, those would be America, the military, Notre Dame and the Church.

This is simply no longer the same country — in any way, shape or form — as it was when I was young. During the nation's bicentennial (July 4, 1976), I got up at 5 in the morning and watched the wall-to-wall coverage on CBS of the nation's 200th birthday.

I still play Lee Greenwood's God Bless America in my Jeep and belt it out when I'm alone. And yes, I get goosebumps. Now, the country that my heart used to beat so proudly for supports child murder en masse, not by judicial fiat, but now by the will of the voters — and expect that to sweep the nation in the next election cycle or two. It glorifies and celebrates sodomy. It increasingly supports the putrefaction of the minds of children.

The U.S. military: I grew up on U.S. Air Force bases in England, Texas and California. I used to ride my bicycle along the flight lines, racing the fighter jets thundering down the runway. I loved the U.S. military. I remember being in middle school when the troops came back from Vietnam and were vilified, thanks to the press. I seethed inside.

Now, the woke mob is converting our military into a brain-washed collection of out-of-shape liberal kids with guns.

'Good' bishops blitz the faithful.

Earlier this week, the bishops of Arizona (including former bishop of Phoenix Thomas Olmsted, considered a "good" bishop) issued a statement taking a very thinly veiled swipe at faithful Catholics trying to fight the evil of phony Catholic politicians.

The statement, which used the pretext of faithful Catholics violating canon law, was conveniently issued just days after a Phoenix rally was held, sponsored by the group called "Catholics for Catholics." The group is taking dead aim at the scandal and sin of phony Catholics being permitted by the bishops to continue parading themselves around as somehow faithful.

The bishops need to prepare to burn in Hell for these sacrileges and offenses against the Faith and the truth. They attack faithful Catholics left, right and center. And yes, that includes even the so-called good bishops.

It is much needed.

And finally it has arrived, at long last — what should be the day of reckoning for the communists who have seized so much control of the country and wreaked so much havoc on America.

If there is insufficient cheating (because they always cheat, but if it is insufficient), today should mark the beginning of the "great pushback."

If it goes as expected and the communist Democrats are halted and even forced to retreat (if only for a while), note that by no means is this final victory. It's not even close. But you have to secure your first major win somewhere and today may as well be that day.

Now for Catholics, especially those who do not see the importance of politics from a spiritual and theological point of view, here's what you need to wrap your minds around — and pretty quickly.

There is an all-out war going on between the forces of darkness who have complete control of one political party and partial control over the other.

Long ago, the war was lost on the philosophical ground when giant agenda items like "what is truth?" were simply ceded — surrendered to the notion that everyone's opinion is equally valid. No, all opinions are not equal and they should not be treated as though they are.

Then we lost the war over morality, so evident today in even the GOP that just warmly embraces sodomy as marriage.

Now we are in a pitched battle in the political arena — the last remaining line before all-out civil war. If you love peace and don't want to see violence, then you better get involved on the political front.

That's fancy for 'lying.'

A brief reminder that Church Militant's live election coverage begins tonight at 7 p.m. with a preview of tomorrow's slated slaughter of the socialists. And then, tomorrow night live at 6 p.m., right here on Church Militant, we go live until it's over.

In the meantime, it's all over now but the voting, counting and reporting — and let's hope not any cheating. But speaking of that, have you noticed the polling in the last couple of weeks? It's really split now along two lines: liberal media giants lying through their teeth and then the honest ones.

Giant media outlets like The New York Times usually partner with some secondary outfit like a college or liberal think tank, and together produce a poll that is, shall we say, really wrong. If you go down, for example, a list of many polls, some of them just jump off the page.

All of a sudden last week, with every poll in the country showing major shifts toward Republicans and greatly narrowing gaps for Democrats who had been way ahead weeks earlier, The New York Times' Siena Poll along with another pack of prevaricators at an outfit called "Cygnal" were showing giant numbers in favor of Democrats.

CNN also got in on the action of phony polling but not as badly as the other two. The results are so far out of line with every other poll that it's glaring. Aside from being biased liars, the impact of all that is that they skew the averages of the polls conducted at some sites like Real Clear Politics.

For everyone out there who still thinks Fox News is somehow conservative because a couple of commentary hosts are, remember, Fox news uses the Real Clear average when reporting the toss-up races and never tells its viewers what we just told you — that the averages are skewed by wildly divergent polls.

Those polls also, unsurprisingly, always skew heavily in favor of the Democrats. You'd have to search high and low to find a poll that does this with GOP candidates, even polls done by GOP outfits. It's ridiculous as well as insulting to the common man to release a poll that has such outrageous divergence from others and offer not even an asterisk about it.

How badly will the Democrats lose?

As the red Category 3 (at least!) hurricane threatens to come crashing ashore in Democratic land, one place that is deep blue is promising to hold out against the Republican swamping. That's Maryland, where the governor's race is between solid political conservative Dan Cox, a current Maryland state legislator, and wildly liberal Marxist Wes Moore.

And as far as fundamental rights and belief in God and the need for morality in the culture go, Moore is definitely less. In short, Moore is a stone-cold liar. But then again, pointing out someone's embrace of Marxism and being a liar is redundant. He's a cheat, a liar and a straight-up communist.

For example, media reports recently revealed he hasn't paid his water bill totaling $21,000 for his mansion. Like all good Marxists, he loves the idea of the global reset. He spent four years as chief executive officer of the Robin Hood Foundation, euphemistically referred to as "Robbin' the Hood Foundation" because of its devastating effects on minority communities.

More disconnected from the Faith than politics.

One of the most interesting things about political seasons is all the polling. And quite frequently the questions are not just, Who are you going to vote for?

A recent poll surveyed Catholics in the battleground states of Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona and Nevada, and asked questions about the Faith (in addition to political questions) — four such questions, actually — that we'd like to highlight for you, state by state. Remember, this is just Catholics answering.

On the question of abortion, an option was given: "Abortion should never be permitted under any circumstances." In Florida, only 10% of Catholics agreed with that statement. In Georgia, it was 6%; Pennsylvania, 7%; Ohio, 7%; Arizona, 5%; and Nevada, 7%.

But here is the funny twist to those responses. Another question asked, "[Do I] accept all the Church's teachings and that is reflected in how I live my life?" Look at those who responded "yes" and notice the absolute disconnect from the abortion question: In Florida, it's 14%; Georgia, 12%; Pennsylvania, 12%; Ohio, 11%, Arizona, 13%; and Nevada, 15%.

So across those six battleground states, an average of 13% of Catholics say they accept all of the Church's teachings. Yet on average, across the same battleground states, only 7% say they believe abortion should never be permitted.

Only half the Catholics claiming they believe everything the Church teaches accept everything the Church teaches, certainly in the matter of abortion, which, of course, strongly suggests they may very well reject other Church teachings while claiming to accept all the teachings. Talk about a disconnect. Apparently, those who accept all the Church's teachings have never heard the one on abortion.

It goes back much farther than you may think.

The last couple of weeks, a rather loud and somewhat ongoing controversy has exploded onto the headlines again, involving claims that Jewish control of media is unfair or hurtful or too lopsided and so forth.

Kanye West was called out for anti-Semitism for saying the Jews control Hollywood and the media. Elon Musk, liberator of Twitter, even seemed to side with Kanye. He even posted a tweet asking "Who do you think owns the press?" back in May of 2018. It was quickly taken down. Even Donald Trump got in on the action, saying American Jews didn't appreciate his repeated efforts to support Israel.

Be that as it may, however true or not the accusations may be, there does appear to be collectivizing among a large percentage of the American Jewish population when it comes to politics.

After the conquering and subsequent destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 by Titus and his Roman X legion, the nature of Judaism as a religion shifted. For centuries, the religion of the people of Israel centered around Temple sacrifice for the sins of the people as they awaited the coming of the Messiah.

The Vortex — Seriously? (www.youtube.com)

And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

Yup, seriously.

You may not have heard, but the U.S. bishops are all hot to trot on their so-called Eucharistic Revival.

See, faith in the Real Presence is at pathetic lows among unfaithful Catholics here in America, and all the uproar among faithful Catholics at the bishops disobeying canon law spurred them to action. Well, sort of spurred them to action. What faithful Catholics were demanding was an end to political murderers like Joe Biden (and company) being allowed to receive Holy Communion.

So the most unmasculine response possible from the charitable, homosexual crowd in miters was what else? Launch a three-year, $28 million public relations campaign to proclaim the Church's teaching around the country in the dwindling number of parishes but — and this is the really important part, the key ingredient — actually do nothing to demonstrate the belief it is promoting.

In fact, let's keep those faith numbers low, as low as we can, by not actually doing anything to promote the teaching — you know, as in showing people we mean business. Kind of like, oh, I don't know, forbidding reception by big-name child-killing Catholics. That might be a good place to start, but, oh no. That would be a bridge too far for the all-are-welcome, let's-be-gay-together crowd at USCCB headquarters (might as well be a hippie drum circle)!

And if you think that's a little harsh, consider the following: In West Virginia, the town of Bridgeport, actually, and All Saints Parish, specifically, we have an up-close look at the bishops' Eucharistic Revival. The parish is combining the Eucharistic Revival events with its 75th-anniversary festivities.

So in celebration of both, the pastor, Fr. Jagela, invited Bp. John Stowe of Lexington, Kentucky, along with his diocesan coordinator (of all things gay) to talk about welcoming everyone. Seriously though, who else would you invite to talk about the need for belief in and worthy reception of the Body and Blood of Our Lord, other than a bishop who promotes sex between men? I mean, come on, man!

And remember, Stowe is a bishop — one of those who are promoting the Eucharistic Revival like, supposedly, all his brother bishops. Let's get real about this, shall we? The bishops as a body do not believe in the Real Presence. There is simply too much of a disconnect between their actions and their words. You could in no way believe the Host is actually Jesus but then refuse to defend His Real Presence from sacrilege. No way, José — not possible.

This close to Catholic.

The corpses of former Catholics piled up on the political landscape are appalling.

Church Militant has already interviewed Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was born and baptized Catholic, baptized her children Catholic and was poorly catechized; resulting in her leaving the Church when she saw the bishops being essentially limp-wristed communists.

But when you look closely around the battlefield and dig a little, you will see a large number of former Catholics carrying the banner of political conservatism. There is a hint of Catholicism in these candidates' positions and policies, sometimes much more than just a hint.

For example, Kari Lake, the upstart feisty candidate for Arizona governorship — raised Catholic, she now no longer has anything to do with the Church, although it's clear she still embraces some of her Catholicism when it comes to the natural world. Likewise, U.S. Senate candidate (also from Arizona) Blake Masters — he, too, was raised Catholic and has since left the Faith.

It's jarring to the sensibilities of faithful, well-catechized Catholics that so many of the people we are cheering on politically comprise some of the collateral damage of the Church imploding. How much better off would America have been, and be in the future, if these souls could have remained in the Church and been properly catechized, instructed and formed in the One True Faith?

Yet, as we see time and time again, they have been left to fend for themselves by a reckless and uncaring hierarchy. The bishops were more content with allowing the Joe Bidens, Pelosis, Kennedys, Caseys, Durbins, Leahys, Cuomos et al. to define the Faith for an entire country and party.

Run, bishop, run!

We Catholics don't believe in karma, certainly as a religious, spiritual thing. That said, karma, as a thing, is related to justice, and justice is certainly something we do believe in. Well, call it what you will, but the "karma bus" has pulled into the diocese of Buffalo.

The diocese has finally settled a yearslong case with the state of New York over sex abuse allegations, involving the clergy there, stretching back decades. But more to the point, and especially important for Church Militant, we were in on the ground floor of this story when it broke back in 2018 in the wake of the Theodore McCarrick revelations.

That's a bit two-faced, isn't it?

In the past few days, the retired former archbishop of Philadelphia (and before that, Denver) Charles Chaput stood in front of an audience and decried Joe Biden on abortion and being able to receive Holy Communion and so forth. Normally, actions and statements like those would be worth applauding and, certainly, the pure and simple message is.

However, as usual when a member of the U.S. hierarchy speaks, there is always the "grain of salt" factor you have to consider. *Numerous well-known "orthodox" clergy seem to all of a sudden be so terribly concerned with the state of affairs in the Church that has bled over predictably to the state of affairs in the world, culture and government. It's almost like they have no idea that their reigns as bishops in key times and places around the country actually helped set the stage for this meltdown we are all now falling victim to.

Since Chaput put himself out there with his recent remarks, let's do a brief review of him and his past actions as a good example. When he was in Philadelphia, he hosted the World Meeting of Families. Nothing extraordinary about that until (because there is always an "until" with these "orthodox" ones), he invited two of the most Culture of Death politicos you could imagine — you know, the anti-family guys — to be honorary chairmen of the World Meeting of Families.

One was Pennsylvania governor Tom Wolf, the lowest form of political life possible, because he was the only governor in American history who was also a "death-scort" for Planned Parenthood — you know, death-scorts*. Those are the folks who wear the school crossing guard vests and block access from pro-lifers to women about to walk in and kill their children. Yup. Couldn't think of anyone better to be an honorary chairman for the World Meeting of Families.

Coming in a close second, however — because for Chaput, one just wasn't enough — he installed then-Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter as another honorary chair. Nutter has just wrapped up announcing to the world how proud he was that he and his administration were able to make Philadephia the most gay city in America. Whether that claim is actually true or not is beside the point. Nutter believed it to be true and was happy to take a bow.

So what does the "orthodox" Catholic archbishop of Philadelphia do? Well, make him an honorary chairman of the World Meeting of Families. What else?

Fauci wrecked by a leading China expert.

It's been almost three years, but in that time, the full realization of the COVID conspiracy is coming more and more to light. The truth is never able to be fully covered up, and proof of that maxim is coming forward as we learn more about what really happened, how it was manipulated, by whom and why.

[Transcript unavailable]

Steven Mosher is president of the Population Research Institute and one of the world's leading authorities on China. Of course, most importantly, he's also a solid, faithful Catholic. In addition to authoring various books on China, he's been on Tucker, Laura Ingraham, "Good Morning America", "60 Minutes", and written for the New York Post and Wall Street Journal.

In short, he's no slouch. He knows his stuff down cold. He's written what is the authoritative book on the entire COVID scam called "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Pandemics". With almost 100 pages of supporting footnotes, the fun really begins about halfway through. After a brief world history lesson of plagues and pandemics stretching back thousands of years, Mosher then spends about a hundred pages breaking down in easy-to-understand detail all the relevant information on the China virus.

[Transcript unavailable]

In a weekend op-ed in the New York Post, Mosher lays out his case against Anthony Fauci with his opening paragraph: "I must admit that I, like most Americans, am deathly tired of having to listen to — or in my case, write about — Dr. Anthony Fauci. It has been clear for some time that his prescriptions for dealing with the pandemic were not only wrong, but made things worse, much worse."

And it's time for a retreat.

There is one, and only one, goal in life — that is your own personal salvation. Nothing else matters.

Few faithful would argue with this, but it is common in our everyday lives that the truth of that can get swamped by the realities of day-to-day living. We need to be reminded of our end, even as we live in the current. Because of this, the Church has always encouraged not just daily devotion and prayer life but also "out of the box" experiences as well.

There is simply no way to get to Heaven if a person is not plugged into the spiritual realities — and plugged in every day.

Saint Padre Pio summed it up best: "Those who pray, have hope. Those who pray little, are in great danger. Those who do not pray, are lost."

According to polls from Pew Research, the percentage of Americans who say they pray "every day" is declining about half a percentage point every year. In what amounts to yet another sign of the failure of the church leaders to do their job, the following statistics are telling:

- Catholics — 59%
- Orthodox — 57%
- Protestants — 54%

Of those who say they pray every day, only 59% of Catholics said yes. That was followed closely by the Orthodox at 57% and mainline Protestants at 54%. And for some perspective, 71% of Muslims say they pray every day, and 62% of Hindus.

Also, it's no great shock that as we have seen religion become much more of an emotion-based experience — especially in Catholicism — women are much more embracing of it than men. Fully two-thirds of Catholic women say they pray every day, while slightly less than half of Catholic men do.

More than half of all Catholic men do not pray every day. That should be an earthquake across the Church — yet most just yawn their way through that news.
