Traffic Stops and Papal Flops

 If you've lived in the south long enough, you've been pulled over for a traffic stop at some point most likely.  When the officer/ trooper explains their reason for stopping you, there is always a "tell" that indicates they really only pulled you over because they could: and that is the famous point, usually given at the end of a brief list, that you "were swerving a little".  It's the accusation that gives a ground for every other thing they may want to write you a ticket on, because it is the one point which NO ONE is capable of proving incorrect.  Simply put, there is no human being on the face of this earth who is capable of driving a motor vehicle perfectly parallel to the street lines at all times.  Even if every other accusation they level at you falls by the wayside; they still have that one "gotcha" they can fall back on.

Recently, the Bishop of Rome decided to sack the Bishop of Tyler, Texas.  When giving his justifications for doing so, he claimed 2 basic excuses: 

1. some financial irregularities- given that the bishop himself does not directly handle diocesan finances, and given Rome's own proclivities to financial corruption, this one seems hypocritical at best and defamatory at worst.   

2. an alleged breakdown in 'communication' between the bishop, clergy, and faithful.  This one is the "you were swerving a bit" accusation; since it only requires a perceived miscommunication in order to be "proven". 

Essentially, Bishop Strickland of Tyler was fired by the Vatican because he questioned and challenged the Bishop of Rome's multiple plans and experiments to undermine those teachings and traditions which make the Roman Catholic Church what it is.  The hierarchy and liberals love to say that no one can question the pope because Francis is God's representative; but that violates the dignity of the Christian person enshrined by the damnable second Vatican Council they all cling to for bloody life.  You cannot tell people that they should question and debate everything, then tell them they're out of line and fire them when the questioning comes around to YOU.  The bishop of Rome is making others stand surety for the checks his fat mouth writes in abundance to creditors of this age; and then exacting revenge on them when they cannot help but default on the payment of his lunacy.

The bishop of Rome is a heretic, and has no legitimate claim to be a representative of God.  Let him be the vicar of Pachamama, that idol he so loves; and let him leave the Christian faith he has long since abandoned alone.

Pope Proposes People Pass the Prescript!

  In a move that should come as little to no shock to many, the Arch-Heretic in white of Rome today announced that Roman Catholic priests would be permitted to bless same-sex couples- "provided they do not resemble marriages".   What the Lout has done is essentially what the United Methodist Bishops did, which caused the breaking up of the Methodist Union:  telling one group of people (heterosexual couples) that they must abide by the rules and regulations hereunto set forth in canon law and church doctrine; while telling another group of people (homosexual couples) that they don't have to follow those same rules, that they get a pass on it because "God loves them too".   The main issue at hand is not even whether same-sex couples/ marriage is morally right or wrong; but rather a man (or group of leaders) telling 2 groups of people to follow 2 diametrically opposed sets of rules, while claiming both are perfectly acceptable and equal.  NO.  If you want to be a c

The Commerce of Christ at Christmas?

  In just under a month, Christians will gather in crowded, candlelit churches on Christmas Eve to celebrate the great feast of our Savior's birth.  Recently, some clergy friends of mine have directed me to an interesting little thing that the Episcopal Church's National Cathedral in DC has decided to do for Christmas Eve this year.   Are they going to bring in the homeless so that they have a warm place to sleep that night?  No. Are they going to actually preach the Christ whom they are obliged to by the book of common prayer?  No. Are they going to charge people to attend Christmas Eve Mass and receive Christ?  YES! You heard that correctly, the National Cathedral in Washington, DC; has decided to CHARGE people to attend a worship service on Christmas Eve.  Now some will defend this move as an attempt to control crowd levels or such; but that goes against the very essence of the Christian faith and the nature of cathedrals themselves.  The very reason why we build great churc

Anglicans in the Ambulatory!!!

  This week, a number of Traditionalist Anglican clergy and their Bishop (of Fulham), are on retreat in Rome.  They were invited by the clergy in charge of St. John in Lateran to hold a mass in the "choir" of the cathedral, behind the main altar of the church.  What to many Christians might seem a point of fraternal generosity or a sign of mutual respect; has instead inflamed the passions of a number of Roman Catholic churchmen and laymen across the Christian world.    How dare those silly protestants hold their service in our church???  The claim that is referenced in defending such position, is the old argument that because Pope Leo XIII issued the Papal Bull Apostolicae Curae which claimed Anglican Orders as "utterly null and void"; that this means definitively that Anglican Apostolic succession is indeed null and void.  Unfortunately for my more conservative minded Roman Catholic friends, a Papal Bull is not the law of the church.  There have been many Papal Bul
