Today was a sunny cold day. Church was quite peaceful. We have no clue about the majesty that happens at the Mass. Mores the pity.
We went to my wife's aunt's wake. She was the last of that generation of that part of the family. It was good to see people we hadn't seen in a while. Afterwards, we went to St Charles' the mother house for the Society of the Precious Blood in this part of the country. We visited the graves of several of the Precious Blood priests we have known over the past few years. A good day.
I know what the Church teaches & know how I don't measure up! And none of the bovine scatology about the Church having to change, either!
It seems to me that the leadership of the Catholic Church in America over the better part of the last fifty years has been at best embarrassed about the Faith or at worst antagonistic about the Faith. God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy!

Sancte Michael Archangele,
contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium.
Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur:
tuque, Princeps militiae Caelestis,
satanam aliosque spiritus malignos,
qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo,
divina virtute in infernum detrude.
Amen.
