The heat is oppressive for the 2nd day in a row here in central MA and it’s going to be doubly murder during the first 3-4 hours of my shift today not to mention to all the road crews that seem to be out in force over the last few weeks.
It’s one of the reasons why despite the protection of freedom and the winning fight against cultural insanity rather than the war on normalcy I’ll never be moving to Texas. I can put up with the insanity all year long, but the heat, that’s beyond me.
The virtue signaling NFL is at it again going all in on celebrating sodomy.
I guess it’s another season of following only Tom Brady.
Oh and speaking of Brady let the record show again that since he signed in Tampa Bay no NE team has made it to the finals in the four major sport AND no Tampa Bay team has FAILED to make it to the finals in any major sport.
Speaking of sports that I’m not watching apparently MLB has gone crazy on inspecting pitchers for foreign substances but what’s really crazy is the number of elite pitchers being hit suddenly now that the rules are being enforced. Apparently the length of games doesn’t matter anymore.
It reminds me of the left that insists the vote was on the up and up, they’ll keep insisting it until the rules and laws get enforced.
FYI the speed at which so many corporations are rushing to embrace slavery in China and the gay / transgender / sodomy agenda is an important reminder.
Other than the propaganda business which is our news industry corporations are all about maximizing profits. The only reason why they pushed American values in the past is because that’s where they thought the money was. If they thought that there was more cash in rejecting the abnormal most would do so. But they remain more afraid of them than us.
Until that changes this won’t change.
Speaking of things that don’t change here is a tweet from Bernie Sanders yesterday:
We can no longer ignore the reality that climate change is causing devastating destruction in our country and around the world. YES — action to avert the climate crisis is critical to our nation's infrastructure. We must act NOW.https://t.co/2A6NC7Wis6
This is the same message that the left has been putting out for 30+ years yet people are still falling for it.
The main reason is too many people on the left make a comfortable living off of this grift but a big part of it is that it’s a religion that they are teaching our kids.
They didn’t take prayer out of schools they just pray to different Gods now.
Apparently there are new rules concerning Statues in NYC
Last night a far-right extremist group vandalized a statue of George Floyd in Brooklyn. A racist, loathsome, despicable act of hate.
The City Cleanup Corps is repairing the statue right now and a hate crime investigation is underway. We will bring these cowards to justice. pic.twitter.com/mTwzwIyG4z
That’s rather odd as I was reliably informed by the left and media that going after statues was protected free speech and not an act of violence.
Apparently the limits on apply statues of vandalization statues only applies on those the left don’t approve of.
This Wednesday the 7th episode of the 2nd season of the Chosen will be available for streaming. They recently boasted one million subscribers on their youtube channel with a goal of 1 billion people viewing the series.
If I was them I’d hire Gina Carano to play the woman with the hemorrhage in season three or four. They’d get their billion views in a hurry and a lot of eyeballs that they would not normally have.
There is news out of Afghanistan that the Taliban is burning shops & govt buildings and detaining people as they advance while we prepare to leave. The reports were described as “shocking”
Given what we know about the Taliban I don’t know why anyone would be shocked.
Another riot in Portland was averted when ANTIFA was informed that a suspect that the police shot and killed was white rather than black.
Now I don’t know if this shooting was justified or not but we’ve discovered that Apparently white privilege, is defined as the privilege of being shot to death by Police without having anyone care.
Finally I found this image amusing:
While this is good for a laugh I should point out that unless these folks vote red the bad ideas they are running from will follow them.
This months indulgence calendars are now available for download.
As before we have both a full calendar with the names of people to gain indulgences for daily and a blank calendar so that you can fill in names yourself ready for download.
Both of these calendars will be shortly available at the WQPH radio website as well.
As before each day in the indulgence calendar is in the following format:
The blank calendar excludes the particular name.
If there is a person you want included in a future indulgence calendar feel free to leave their name in the comments. We always reserve some spaces for such requests every month.
Starting this month my home parish in Fitchburg MA is now participating in this ministry with its own indulgence calendar (I’m not including it here as printed copies are available at the parish) and I would encourage any other parish that wants to do this to download our blank calendar and fill it in for their parishioners and/or use it as a template for their own calendar (or calendars if they have a lot of people participating).
Remember praying for the dead is a spiritual work of mercy and don’t forget the words of Christ:
Blessed are the merciful for they shall be shown mercy.
Matthew 5:7
Remember when we show mercy to others we are also calling down God’s mercy on ourselves.
For those who didn’t see our June Post here are the indulgence norms which are listed on the back of the sheet repeated.
Indulgence Norms and notes
Communion on the day of an indulgence. This can be applied to any amount of indulgences that day.
Confession within 20 days of the day of an indulgence. Applies to all indulgences during that period
Prayers for the intentions of the Holy Father (an Our Father, Hail Mary or any appropriate prayer) once per day of indulgence.
To earn an indulgence you must be in a state of grace (no unconfessed mortal sin) at the time of the indulgenced act.
Indulgences can only be applied to the dead or to the person earning the indulgence. They can not be applied to any other living person.
For a PLENARY indulgence you must have NO attachment to sin. If such an attachment exists the indulgence earned is only partial.
A plenary indulgence can only be earned one a day (expect if death is imminent), there is no limits to partial indulgences daily.
An indulgence attached to a feast day is still valid if the feast day is transferred lawfully.
A specific day’s indulgence requiring a visit to a particular church or oratory can be made from noon the previous day to midnight on the actual day.

After the sentencing of the former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on Friday, George Floyd’s brother had a message in an attempt to bring everyone together.
“I just want to reiterate: not just black lives matter, all lives matter,” Philonise Floyd said outside the building just after hearing ended.
I eagerly await the denunciations from Democrats around the nations, from CNN insisting he is a racist and his banning from twitter and Facebook and Instagram.
Now mind you I agree that all lives matter and so does truth but that doesn’t matter, these aren’t MY rules these are the left/media’s rule and by those rules he must pay.
Of course in my opinion truth matters as well and the truth is that if the police response had been 20 minutes later than it was George Floyd would have been just another drug overdose death, large swaths of the country would not have been destroyed and practically nobody in the world would know or care what Mr. Floyd’s brother said about anything.
