Work goes on.
This is from Fr. McTeigue. It is about the Biden Administration and child trafficking. It involved also NGOs of religious groups. Get it? Alarming doesn’t begin to describe this. I need to WARN you that this is so awful, so horrific that no child should be anywhere NEAR where you listen to this. It is an interview with J.J. Carrell, former Senior Leader for the Border Patrol. I had heard a long time ago that hundreds of thousands of children crossing the border were missing. One would have a suspicion about why. This lifts up the rock. Again… be advised. HERE
Pope St. John Paul II declared that the Church has taught in an infallible and irrevocable manner that women cannot be priests. Thus, if the Church were to reverse this teaching, that would (obviously) falsify Catholicism, since she can hardly ever claim to teach infallibly and… pic.twitter.com/uHkoyC2ykh

The Tour de France is on. Yesterday the stage went up Mount Ventoux. A couple years back they route went through the vineyard of the monks of Le Barroux who have revived the ancient vineyards of the Avignon Pope’s.
Buy wine from Benedictine monks who use ONLY the traditional Roman Rite.

How long is the restoration at The Parish estimated to take?
We are talking about Italy. However, I think that the nave is to be cleared by the end of August. They will have to do the sanctuary as well, and the sacristy.
I once made a deep dive into the Canon Law — and I found that the ONE offence against the Law whereby a Pope could excummunicate himself and thereby cease to be a Pope is an attempt to ordain a woman — as it is reserved to the Apostolic See, and no priest may absolve himself ; so that only his successor could lift that penalty.
Regarding the X post by Michael Lewis: When I was graduate student circa the late 1970’s, a friend, who was a typical conservative NO Catholic that went to Mass faithfully and had minored in theology at Holy Cross College in Massachusetts, told me that he could not understand all the fuss about papal infallibility. He (and it seems correctly) had been taught that an infallible doctrine had to be something that whole church had always believed to be true, such as, in this case, the fact that only men can be ordained to the priesthood. Since the Church has always held that only men can be priests, then no Pope can legitimately change it. I was only an Episcopalian at that time but I think I had a lot more respect for the traditional teaching of the Roman Catholic Church than does Michael Lewis. If the pope were to say women could be ordained and the Church obeyed, the Church would go the way of the Church of England or the Anglican Church and other Protestant denominations until a later Pope came to his senses and reversed it.
To some extent this reminds me of something I saw in the SSPX documentary on Archbishop Lefebrve. When Paul VI forbade him from teaching his seminarians the VO he wrote or said that if he moved toward what Paul VI wants, he must then move away from what previous Popes taught. He had a choice of staying near Paul VI’s predecessors or going toward Paul VI and that this put him in an impossible situation since he never wanted to disobey Rome. No Pope can legitimately teach something that contradicts what all the past Popes have taught.
Regarding Father McTeigue, just yesterday in a rural county near where I live 7 people were arrested for the things discussed in his interview. Horrible!
Re. Tour de France and Le Barroux.
We are ambling our way to Lourdes after leaving the Dover to Calais ferry, and called in at Le Barroux – what an impressive place. There are now 61 in the community, 2 postulants, 1 to take 1st vows in a couple of weeks and there are others in formation.
Yes, we bought some wine & look forward very much to imbibing said wine.
Last Thursday (July 24) I listened to the podcast episode.
They talk about stats on unaccompanied minors crossing the border; of NGOs receiving government funds to settle these minors; about standards of checking the minors and adults with them, being lowered. Okay.
They say that all of these minors are being sex trafficked (forced prostitution, sexual slavery… human smuggling across borders is not “trafficking”). Wait, what? What’s the proof? It’s just an assertion: “it’s common knowledge, everyone knows it, but no one wants to talk about it”; “I talk about it publicly and no one sues me.” He talks generally about some horrific descriptors of sex trafficking, and asserts he has walked into “dungeons” where sex trafficking victims are held… but that’s it, just a few moments, utterly general, nothing specific. They talk for 46 minutes and that’s it?
No way, I don’t buy it. They utterly failed to prove– no, worse, didn’t even make a case for– all unaccompanied minors being sex trafficked. They just assert it. Come on. No one should believe this.
