Defending The Faith, Saving Sacred Space

VIDEO: Archdiocese creating “PRIEST SHORTAGE” by forcing our priests to retire and sending priests OUTSIDE our archdiocese which was all planned back in 2021 before ATN

Let’s consider a hypothetical situation: there is an archdiocese that says, “Oh no, we absolutely will not lower the retirement age below 75.” However, then they have their Vicar of Priests call those priests who are close to that age and maybe have health issues or other issues that would make them unable to easily go to other assignments. Or calling priests who are over 75 and offering them assignments far away that they just physically cannot do. This is a verbal conversation that is “hypothetical”, and the Vicar suggests that if they cannot take the assignment they would need to submit their resignation. The priest thinks he must resign. He is told to write an email to the Archbishop with his resignation. This becomes the written record which appears that the priest is asking for retirement or early retirement. Suddenly, we go from 8 priests who would have retired in 2023 and jump to 28 priests! See documents below for more details.

VIDEO: Exactly where is the Catholic Church growing??

Praying for our Archdiocesan leadership as always! The Catholic World Report article below explains that the worldwide Catholic Church is growing, and vocations are booming in traditional orders and in countries where the Catholic Church leaders are rejecting modernism. The Eucharistic Pilgrimage is coming through St. Louis in early July. Those who participate can gain…

Christ alone makes all things new! It takes humility for all of us to admit that. The left claims diversity, but does not allow any diversity of thought. Modernist bishops do the same by finding Vicars who are modernist like them, or who will be their cover for their liberal plans. Our Archdiocesan leaders promote…

VIDEO: Stop attacking our holy priests who defend the One True Faith

On this Spy Wednesday, realize that both Judas and Peter betrayed Christ. Only Peter repented. Jesus calls us to repentance. He cannot bless sin. He will not bless disobedience. No Synod (nor All Things New initiative as its trojan horse) can change Church Teaching. Stop attacking faithful Catholics, and especially faithful priests, who follow the…

VIDEO: Our new Archdiocesan leaders are uber liberal and following the same spirit of Totalitarianism that both the Deep State and Deep Church are under

The written summary of All Things New is important because the Archdiocese does not want what they are doing documented. We will get back to that soon. Let’s look at the Deep State and the Deep Church. Team Biden is pushing pro-abortion propaganda at State of the Union. Catholics need to wake up! The Deep…

VIDEO: The importance of local resistance to evil and truth telling

Church Militant has done the most to tell the truth about what’s going on in the corruption in the Church and its hierarchy. I will continue to support them. I am also happy to support Joe Gallagher and Truth Army, and pray for all involved. The spiritual wreckage that is the American Catholic Church is…

VIDEO: It’s Destruction by Design

The new Vicariate structure seems to be as non-transparent as possible. Misrepresentation, misdirection and half-truths all come from the Father of Lies, as well as failure to answer simple questions like, “How much of our collective collection plate have you spent with Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI)?” We have spoken with canon lawyers who are incredulous…

VIDEO: Our Church is both/and NOT either/or

If you are open and transparent, you want open dialogue with Q&A sessions! The devil can deceive any one of us, liberal or conservative. The Catholic Church is the greatest charitable organization ever. But what is the Church’s mission? To save souls. There are many charisms in our Church, and we must appreciate each one…

VIDEO: You will know them by their fruits

Tomorrow Friday March 1st is 1st Friday which will be the 8th of 9 First Fridays we offer in reparation to the Sacred Heart, as well as for our Archbishop and his Vicars. We ask for public rosaries, open Q&A meetings, and true dialogue with these leaders. This Saturday, March 2 at the Cathedral Basilica,…

BONUS Video: Call to Prayer by Cardinal Burke to honor Our Lady of Guadalupe — our Archbishop should be promoting the Rosary and this 9-month Novena. Will he or his Cabinet lead a LIVE ROSARY for and with us???

We are praying for Archbishop Rozanski, Auxiliary Bishop Rivituso, and all the Vicars for their fruitful ministries. Why won’t the Archbishop or his Cabinet lead a LIVE ROSARY like Focus? Cardinal Burke is calling the entire nation to “Return to Our Lady” through a 9-month Novena starting March 12, and ending on the Feast of…

VIDEO: Documenting the Truth…so there is no revisionist history

We have been attempting to document the truth — what has truly happened since “All Things New” was started. Already revisionist history is beginning. Denial is easy if bad results are not happening at your parish or to your priest. When we talk about priests, that’s when most people respond, especially on social media. But…

VIDEO: What are we really fighting?

God calls us out of sin and darkness into the light! Archbishop Rozanski and his “Cabinet” never put anything in writing because they don’t want accountability and transparency. Archbishop Rozanski will call a priest and ask for a private meeting on short notice with no agenda. Then he pressures older priests to retire. All our…

VIDEO: Why would you want to “force” priests to “fully retire”? Especially when you claimed that we “lack priestly resources”?????

IMPORTANT: PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR PRIEST!!!! Any priest who is being forced to retire, or would like a free Canon Law consultation, call this number: 740-937-2054. You will get priority.

If you think the “All Things New” program is done, you are not paying attention. When Archbishop Rozanski issued the decrees, he said that this…

VIDEO: YES, We do need more Saints, Fr. Chris Martin

We are writing the next summary of All Things New and looking for the fruit it is bearing. It’s not bearing evangelization or growth at all. In the 10-12 dioceses, where CLI and other consultants have already rolled out similar programs, it has almost always accelerated decline. Where are the voices of saints and prophets…

VIDEO: Archbishop Rozanski ignores his Presbyteral Council’s advice, and then Vatican overrules his decision. What standard is Archbishop Rozanski using to make his decisions to close parishes and schools???

As always, we send this under Canon 212 and Matthew 18 and we pray for all of our Archdiocesan leaders and our good holy priests. We have received emails from parishes that were subsumed, saying that their Masses are so full that people are standing. The parish halls and masses cannot even accommodate the new…

VIDEO: We want to get with God’s program this Lent

As we enter Lent, please pray for our parish priests, Archbishop Rozanski and his Cabinet. At seven months into the most sweeping changes ever seen in our Archdiocese, we continue to ask our assigned Vicars why they won’t lead us in public prayer? It would be so easy to host the 5 First Fridays starting…

VIDEO: Dicastery for the Clergy in the Vatican rules in favor of St. Richard Parish in Creve Coeur – Congratulations St. Richard parishioners!

St. Richard Parish in Creve Coeur received wonderful news that the Vatican did not find just cause for extinctive union of St. Richard Parish, and so Archbishop Rozanski’s decree will no longer be sustained. Consider committing to TRUTH this Lent. St. Josephine Bakhita, a saint who mastered forgiveness, pray for us!
