Christ is born Father. You and others glorify him by your testimony to the Truth of the Light of Jesus Christ. I think of St Jean- Marie Vianney. One of the last remaining Staretz Priests left in all of France. I think of how they treated St John Chrysostom and many others. I think I know how you feel perhaps. It's Verdun over and over with no advance of the lines. Well , this is our lot. You do your duty and some persons do thank God for that. As you know the assaults on my person were from " my own friend " as the Psalmist put it . My own Church of England. Which I left with my wife and family 30 years ago. At least the prime head of their Hydra has been cut off with more to come . That is something for survivors thanks to persons like you and SNAP. God bless your work. Our Lord did say " If they hated me they will hate you ". We would be rémiss if they didn't. A Joyous Feast of the Nativity and a blessed New Year to you and your family.
Imho, the basic root of the historical proportions disaster that is the Francis I papacy is his Jesuitism. I know my opinion is colored by my years of education by them and my Jesuit sex abuser at age 11, but he epitomizes their " black is white " mentality, their phony simplicity ( every one of them I knew had a vow of "poverty" yet drove a Volvo and drank Chivas Regal ), and their unbridled hubris. Words have no fixed meaning for him, equivocation, prevarication, and mental reservation are his stock in trade, and although they taught us that, out of "humility", they would absolutely NEVER accept the Papacy, he now astoundingly has a 4th vow of absolute obedience TO HIMSELF !
You are right on target. I know only a very few holy, straight Jesuits today, and most are 70 or older. Quite a number of Jesuits have died of AIDS or left the order to lead an openly gay lifestyle.
GENE, you are the BEST out there in advocacy for priest sex abuse survivors. I am a victim of a Jesuit at age 11. Is there any way I can dialogue with you or at least comment on your great insights ???
Beautiful & such truthful words, Gene!!! Thanks for always sharing your Holy Spirit -inspired insight. I had a vision that Jesus was returning in all of His glory, Francis was bowed down in front of him in shame & humbled reverence, head bowed down & handing Jesus back the Keys to the Kingdom. It was such a profound moment for me!!! Is that our future as well? Is Jesus soon to return & asking for His keys back from the one who is not leading us in the right direction?
Dana, I believe Francis has questioned the existence of hell because he knows in his heart that is where he deserves to be sent. I pray you have a happy and healthy new year!
There is a simple reality, the entire animal kingdom has homosexuals, there are homosexual whales and lions and elephants and birds. You name the species and there are homosexuals who are members of that species. Every species also has transgender members . Will will never end homosexuality and we will not end transgender biology and behavior. There is another reality, there has always been abortion and there are more abortions in countries where abortion is illegal, this is a simple fact. Abortions go down in countries that have universal health care, universal child care, universal pre k, universal free higher education and a livable minimum wage without the dramatic income inequality we have here in America. If Mr. Gomulka is a true Christian and believes in Catholic Social Teaching as envisioned by Pope Leo XIII, he would never support the 2025 plan policies of trump and the pure simply hatred and division he had fomented in America and the promotion of further wealth disparity. There is zero Christianity behind any of the posts by Gomulka. Maternal deaths are up 56% in Texas and up 11% nationwide and actually much higher because red states want to hide their morbidly and mortality pregnancy statistics because they are shocking. America already ranks 55th in maternal mortality. Women who have a wanted pregnancy are dying from the complications due to individuals like Gene here, lacking the intellectual and ethical discernment of the facts of humanity.
We need good faithful priests. I'd recommend that in the future priests critical of their bishop, including the pope, for their homosexualist agenda do so under a pseudonym. This is what Jesuit Father Markowski did under the pseudonym of "Diogenese." Clergy should stop making of themselves a readily available target. Present the truth but don't allow yourself to be destoyed by the Satanists in the process.
Good advice! Most priests don’t have a net to save them like I did with my military retirement when they coerced me into leaving. If they speak out, they’re thrown into the street and forgotten in time even by the Catholics they faithfully served for decades.
My relative? If you are wrong about JP II being a "relative" of mine, how can I believe when you write about JP II having a "live in life partner?" He had two gay secretaries; John Magee whom he inherited from Paul VI & JP I; and Stanislaw Dziwisz, who came with him to Rome from Poland." JP II was straight. Who are you saying was his so-called "live in life partner?" The last time someone said I was related to JP II was at the US Naval Academy and the person who said that died of AIDS. My "real relative" in Poland was not JP II, but Wladislaw Gomulka, my second cousin who was the head of state in Poland from 1956 to 1970.
Our Christian/Catholic faith is not a buffet or smorgasbord. You cannot pick and choose which type of sexual abuse you condone and which you reject. It is absurd you support trump and thereby condone his numerous sexual assaults, serial philandering, violation of his wedding vows to all 3 wives, his documented association with child sex trafficker Epstein, and as a veteran accept is numerous insults to those who have sacrificed life and limb for our democracy. This is a democracy not a theocracy. I find your promotion of trump an insult to my service and an insult to my Catholic faith. You are correct to confront the Catholic Church and its leadership for all of the sexual abuse that went on and continues to go on and all those leaders who allowed it but your noble quest is stained and tarnished and undermined by your hypocrisy of promoting a treasonous conman who is a disgrace and you violate your oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States by promoting trump.
I used Trump's promise to pardon pro-lifers unjustly imprisoned to illustrate how a new leader can correct unjust actions by a predecessor. My point in writing, "might he be to the Church what President-elect Donald Trump appears to be to the United States?" was that a straight. reforming Pope like Pius V could reverse the harm done by Francis and the Lavender Mafia. The truth is that Trump WAS elected because the majority of Americans wanted to reverse a number of policies like open borders that Trump promised he would do if elected. It seems that you are talking about personal traits where I am talking about issues. Apples and oranges.
Trump got the same percentage of eligible voters as Hitler, not the majority of Americans. The insurrectionists convicted of the attack on our capitol are not “prolifers.” You have gone off some bizarre deep-end into mental illness.
With a bright, young, and holy ex-seminarian in my family trying to discern his way forward in life, your testimony helps bring hope and sanity back into the picture. It wasn’t necessarily hypocrite sodomite faculty members or the sodom jamborees labeled as “Eucharistic Renewals” that drove our young man from his vocation. What forced him out was the “good” rector and formators casting those seminarians who noticed any problems as “being the problem.”
My experience has been that corrupt seminary and diocesan officials often come up with fabricated reasons for discontinuing a seminarian. So, it's often a waste of time responding to false reasons provided to both the seminarian and his family. For example, a rector at one seminary said that a particular seminarian was dismissed because he was found to be homosexually oriented and there was concern on the part of the faculty that he might abuse a young man or boy if he were ordained. The truth, however, was that the seminarian disclosed in confession that he was homosexually oriented and was dismissed because he refused to have sex with a gay faculty member. Then there was another case in which a young man converted to Catholicism and entered the seminary thinking he could lead a comfortable closeted life as a priest. The plan failed when as a seminarian he was reported by a pastor for coming on to his altar boys. Just as it's important for someone going through a divorce to come to grips with what REALLY went wrong in the marriage, so too is it important to understand what the REAL reasons were for leaving or being dismissed from the seminary.
In our young man's case, corroborated by a third party, he humbly, fearfully, and sorrowfully reported "orgyistic" homosexual activity by a "beloved" faculty member to the rector. A week went by while the old priest denied it, calling the seminarians liars. But he realized he was caught and came clean. Our young man made clear to the rector that he'd have to take his story outside the institution if there was retaliation. None of it was reported up to the diocesan bishops as far as we knew. The rector and formators praised him for his forthrightness and assured him his vocation was safe. But at the end of the school year, despite being an exemplary and holy seminarian, having high grades, an adequate accumulation of university credits, and a reputation as a leader among his peers, he was held back from advancing to seminary college. They didn't dismiss him from seminary, but he got the message. He discerned out on his own. The unkindness shown to him after that by the local parish priests was just more weight added to the burden. I so admire him for maintaining his Catholic faith throughout. Say a prayer for him. The saying is, apparently, that an ex-seminarian either goes on to be a good holy family man, or he takes to the devil. I don't see the latter scenario, but we're all just human.
I was afraid that might be the case. It happened with Anthony Gorgiaat the NAC in Rome and many other former seminarians whom I can name who were expelled by closeted gay superiors. The way they got rid of me was to want me to work in a remote prison after I had been supervising 150 chaplains serving with Marines deployed over 2/3rds of the Earth between Yuma, AZ and the Horn of Africa. They knew I would leave before accepting that assignment. You and your former seminarian relative REALLY need to read the story about Wieslaw Walawender to appreciate what might have happened had he not been coerced into leaving by being held back. See: www.gomulka.net/Walawender.pdf The attached supportive documents which substantiate what I wrote are also worth reading. You may discover that what happened to your relative may prove to be a blessing in disguise.
Fine points made. It is ironic that those who are in charge of enforcing the rules and canons of the Church are those violating those rules. The Church's stand on active homosexual activity has been resolute and fixed. It is clear and unequivocal. We see many bishops actively protecting homosexual predators. On the other extreme these 'men' show complete indifference to many victims and their families. This is a cold cruel cross for the victims and families to bear, often worse than the physical abuse.
The fallen angels would of course attack that which is of God and directly connected to Him, His Church. All of this rot, sadness, horror, and disorder confirm my belief the Catholic faith is the one true faith. Without divine protection it would have failed centuries ago. It can survive all the world and netherworld throws at it.
As Hilaire Belloc wrote: “An institute run with such knavish imbecility that if it were not the work of God it would not last a fortnight.”
We also are blessed with many good religious, priests, advocates who boldly, courageously, and quietly, with humility and true Christian charity fight for the faith. There is always hope. We always trust in God. But we must do are part in this fight.
Since the bishops are of this world, they must be fought also in this world and in civil realm, where they has much less control. Hopefully, some case will soon come that allows these evil bent men to be sies personally and personally pay damages from their own funds, not that of the faithful.

And to you. Lord have mercy.

FYI your relative Pope John Paul II had a live in life partner, as I am sure you are aware, yet you leave him off your list.
My relative? If you are wrong about JP II being a "relative" of mine, how can I believe when you write about JP II having a "live in life partner?" He had two gay secretaries; John Magee whom he inherited from Paul VI & JP I; and Stanislaw Dziwisz, who came with him to Rome from Poland." JP II was straight.

Padre, Many thanks for your insight and courage under fire. Semper Fi
Thanks for your support. Semper Fi, Marine!
Thank you, Father, for your courageous witness to the truth!
Thank you for your support and encouragement! Happy New Year 2025!
