; The Mafia is better than the hierarchy.

When news broke on Pentecost Sunday that Fr. James Altman was being gunned for by his bishop — the weak, ineffectual and divisive William Callahan of La Crosse — it could not have been a surprise.

First off, being ineffectual and divisive is precisely what Callahan accused Fr. Altman of, but Fr. Altman has grown his parish, so that's hardly ineffectual. As far as being divisive, who cares? Being divisive is a benchmark of a faithful Catholic because the world embraces sin and darkness. If you aren't being divisive in the face of that, then you'll be damned. Pretty simple.

Can't unify around lies.

At Pentecost Mass in Rome this past Sunday, Pope Francis was reported to have said the following: "Today, if we listen to the Spirit, we will not focus on conservatives and progressives, traditionalists and liberals, right-wingers and leftists. If this is the criteria, then the Spirit is forgotten in the Church. The Paraclete urges unity, consensus."

This is one of those counsels to the faithful that sounds wonderful on the surface, but with just a smidgen of second thought, reveals itself to be completely empty and bereft of any substance. The main reason is that there is absolutely zero context. Of course the Holy Spirit urges unity. Consensus, on the other hand, well, we don't quite know what is meant by that. Again, it's lacking context.

Does consensus mean something akin to compromise where we all decide this or that based on some kind of spiritual horse-trading? You know, the stuff that comprises the art of diplomacy, such as compromise. The basic issue with using terms like "progressive," "liberal" and "leftist" as adjectives for Catholics is simple: There is no such thing. There's only one word for what is trying to be described: "heretic." As St. Thomas More would say, "It's not a likable word; it's not a likable thing."

Stepping forward.

It might be a little too early to call it another "Great Awakening," but something is certainly afoot. Something is stirring in the souls of patriots in America, many of whom are solid Catholics. Whether this thing has the potential to turn the ship around, we'll have to see. But if that doesn't happen, it won't be from lack of trying.

Given the unique arena in which Church Militant operates — a hybrid of theology and politics — we keep encountering solid men and women of faith who, even if they aren't Catholic, are very friendly toward the One True Faith.

That's who's in charge.

Manhood and masculinity have so disappeared from the landscape of the Church that it's difficult to know where to even begin when giving examples. But one thing is very definite: Whether it's from the country-club "professional Catholics" (as Pope Benedict labeled them) who would never rock the boat with their local bishop or the wimps on parish councils who refuse to insist on the transmission of the authentic Faith or pastors who just let the LGBTQIA+ agenda rule the roost in their schools, all of this — every last bit — originates from the ranks of the ordained.

And the higher up the ranks a male progresses, the more of a woman he becomes. That is fantastic and splendid and beautiful if you are a woman, but in a man, it's repulsive.

And my people perish for lack of it.

Father John Hardon, Servant of God, once described the media in this country as "Luciferian." He was spot-on because the media outlets do the work of their father, the Father of Lies. They spread error — not just mistakes — but actual willful errors to confound and confuse good people into accepting an agenda fundamentally opposed to the truth.

None of them is immune from this, and that includes Fox News, as we saw on election night and following. As a very quick aside, regarding Fox, what you see at night during their prime time is not Fox News. Fox News is largely driven by reporters like Chris Wallace — disingenuous liberals masquerading as journalists. The fact that Fox News isn't quite as bad as the others doesn't make them good or reliable. It just makes them not as bad. And as a further aside, that has nothing to do with loving the truth, but everything to do with money. Fox knows and understands that a large, politically conservative voting bloc exists, and they pander to them — at least more than CNN does, for example.

Homosexuality in the seminaries.

Church Militant recently received an email from a parishioner who had confronted a priest about the church closings in the diocese. The email we received was the response from the priest to the parishioner, which the parishioner passed on to us.

So as not to cause an unnecessary headache for the parishioner, we'll keep things nonspecific. And, likewise, it doesn't really matter where this took place because this situation applies across the entire country.

The priest (who was ticked off at Church Militant, like many of them are) was complaining that we talk about the collapse of the Church and the resultant parish closures. His response to the parishioner was, "Well, what would you have the bishop do? In a few years, this archdiocese will have only one non-retired priest to serve over 100 parishes unless we close a huge number of them now. Priests will have to be kept on past retirement to serve these parishes."

While all of that may be true, there's a measure of justice in this situation. For decades, bishops lied to the faithful and still continue to in spades. They have allowed sacrilege to rule the day. And it's important to note that they didn't just become a bishop and start doing this. They were doing it all along in their priesthood. In fact, you could make the case that they became a bishop because they were so good at not teaching the Faith.

Cowards respond out of fear, not love or faith.

If you've followed Church Militant or the Vortex for any length of time, you'll know that we have said often that it is obvious many members of the hierarchy, as well as their pet clergy, have no supernatural faith. Faith is the supernatural virtue that instills and upholds supernatural hope, which leads to the supernatural virtue of charity.

All are infused at the moment of baptism, but each — or all — may be lost. When a person loses supernatural faith, it's lights out. If you don't believe, you won't have hope, and without hope, you will not act out of an abundance of supernatural charity.

This is why St. Paul points to these three supernatural virtues as being key: "In the end, three things abideth — faith, hope and charity. And the greatest of these is charity."

It is possible, at least to a degree, to perceive people's degree of faith by looking at their degree of charity. In short, how much do they love? How much are their actions inspired by love of God and neighbor? If you aren't seeing that because it doesn't appear to be present, then there is a problem at the root of their faith — their supernatural faith.

Truth vs. anti-truth.

Following on from yesterday's Vortex about this apostolate's 15-year anniversary and how things have evolved here, I have some thoughts to share.

The Faith is not preached in a vacuum. The souls that truth is brought to are not neutral, and they do not live in a neutral world. The world, as Our Blessed Lord described it Himself, is the enemy of truth and it will hate us who try to live by and preach the truth because it hated Him first — He who is Truth.

So that is the basic foundation on which we have to begin any effort at evangelization — not any kind of pie-in-the-sky, romanticized-monks-preaching-to-the-barbarians-and-them-all-being-baptized kind of image.

First, that effort took centuries and many of the monks and preachers were martyred or, at the bare minimum, suffered tremendously at the hands of the world. It comes with the territory. Each age has brought new challenges to each epoch of the Church — things that, while in principle are the same, are realized in the day-to-day quite differently.

A thousand or so years later, here we are: the 21st-century Church living an experience not only never lived out before in the life of the Church (or the world, for that matter), but with absolutely zero precedent.

This has been centuries in the making, originating with the evils in the hierarchy which brought about the Protestant revolt. The theological revolution, ultimately undermining the very notion of authority itself, brought about philosophical and political revolution.

The ruin of the Church.

The founder of Gab, Andrew Torba (a really good guy and astute observer of the culture), has noted that a major contributing factor to the decay of the culture is what he terms "comfortable Christianity." It's a good point. The essence of it is that many adherents of Christianity have simply become comfortable — too comfortable — and allowed the culture to decay. Agreed.

But let's shift this analysis to the Catholic world and take a deep dive into the arena of "comfortable Catholicism." Too many of the moneyed class, the establishment class, the university class and the media class of Catholics have simply grown comfortable in their establishment acceptance. But the real danger is that they don't really accomplish anything near what they tell themselves they do.

Take, for example, the faculty at "conservative" Catholic universities. Do they accomplish some good? Sure — but anywhere near as much as they think they do? Not a prayer. Why? Because it's one thing to stand in front of a classroom full of young minds and light up their intellects with Aquinas and philosophy and so forth. It's an entirely different thing to send them out into a Church whose hierarchy is corrupt doctrinally, financially, morally and liturgically.

And what's worse — because it's nearly impossible to be a faculty member at a Catholic university and not become ensconced in the establishment — is that you never really talk about it with your students. Heck, many are so ensconced in it, they don't even know it or will admit it. It's either naivete or a deliberate unwillingness to rock the boat so as not to disturb their comfort.
