Cristero Film coming up!

Dean Wright has completed the new film 'Cristiada'. The film stars well-known actors, e.g. Ruben Blades, Andy Garcia, Corpus Christi's own Eva Longoria, and Peter O'Toole.

As I understand, Professor Jean Meyer was consulted in making this film.
Professor Meyer's book, Cristiada, is the premier chronicle of the Cristero conflict. It certainly seems that director Dean Wright has done his homework and created a powerful, historically accurate film!!

Director Wright won an Oscar for being visual effects supervisor for Lord of the Rings and also served in the same capacity for Chronicles of Narnia. I have to admit, I like his pedigree and predict this film will 'instruct the ignorant', many of whom include not only American Catholic laity, but unfortunately also our clergy! I think this film will blast away cynicism which masquerades as sophistication and knock the snot out of the snotty!

What a blessing and inspiration this film might be for our young people, --well accustomed to seeing the media portray Church scandals--, to see what it 'used to be like' to be Catholic [before our Church leadership was so heavily infiltrated by effeminates].

Once upon a time, Catholicism blended with Mexican chivalry and machismo to produce.....the Cristeros!!

Her Highness gets a little higher

Spain's Queen Sofia's refusal to kneel for Jesus prompted this outburst from a contributor to Praytell Blog (he mentions pictures of Padre Pio and Grace Kelly. I wonder where he saw those! his post is italicized)

...."Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted." (Jesus Christ)

When I see beautiful photos of Grace Kelly and the Blessed Pio kneeling to receive, and then see this acrobatic publicity stunt!!, It is a reminder to me that this Pope's gentle reforms are particularly offensive to the high and mighty.

Priest advocate for homosexuality hates the new English translation and loves 'Vatican II'

Sisters and Brothers!

There is a freight train coming our way! Next year, the first Sunday of Advent we will no longer be using the same English (no changes for any of the other 9,999 translations of the Mass, just English!) Rome has spoken.

Why? ...remember words/concepts like 'Incarnate', 'grievous fault', etc. ? People from other countries do because they still say them. Every Sunday!! It was only the traitorous translators of the English missal who did away with these treasures along with much else....

I know what your thinking ....."Doesn't 'and became man' doesn't count for Incarnate?" Absolutely not since the credo has both 'and became man' 'et homo factus est' AND 'et Incarnatus est' , the English translators just decided to lessen the emphasis so they got rid of the latter phrase entirely. 'Incarnate is 'Too big of a word!' or else more sinisterly, they just didn't believe it THAT strongly!

Now the pope is telling the American Church to rejoin the rest of the Catholic Church in prayer and there are a number of clerics, who are livid! Imagine! Rome wants the American Church to pray the same way Catholics all over the world already do!! The nerve!!! So much for the American Church being the vanguard for change! The old 'peter-paul-and-mary crowd are griping and backstabbing!

If you can stomach it, visit the link below and you will discover many things! There is at least one priest advocate for homosexual marriage and homosexual sex and homosexual sex and ...!! who is especially angry about the pope's scheduled 2011 tsnami.

Is EWTN luke warm on kneeling for Holy Communion?

It has been a while since k.c. has seen a televised Mass from EWTN. Hopefully things have changed...Yes, those of you who have seen them already know what k.c. will say!

Why do so few people @ EWTN kneel for Holy Communion? I understand when people who are ignorant of what the pope is doing, ignore him. They are too busy putting bread on their table, or don't have cable or a computer. But what about pope groupies? (k.c. is one! and so are EWTNees!) If you watch EWTN, then I know you have cable! What about we who follow what the pope is doing and deliberately *choose* ignore his humble invitation to kneel for our dear Lord?

Father Anthony Ruff of with the 'in' crowd blog, Praytell, says he knows why American Catholics, both conservative and liberal refuse to kneel.....it is because we have benefited form two generations of good, post Vatican II liturgical formation !! Really!!!

There are those who would say that EWTN has gone over to the 'dark(usccb) side'. Ever since it passed out of Mother Angelica's control. I don't know what the problem is, but the daily spectacle of stalwarts 'standing' with the American Catholic Church against the Holy Father is a huge disappointment.
