Defending The Faith, Saving Sacred Space

BONUS Video #3: The money is NOT following the people–How is this just?!

We heard over and over that it’s required by Canon Law that the money from a parish will follow the people to their new parish. However, below is an example of the people being sent to one parish, and the money being sent to a different parish. Will the archdiocese even follow the parishioners and track where they register? They seem to be able to track many things, just not anything that shows their true motivations. Since Archbishop Rozanski was installed here 3 years ago, we have gone from 6 Latin Mass locations in our archdiocese down to 2 locations only: St. Francis de Sales Oratory and Sts. Gregory and Augustine Oratory.

    Naked truth is good. The bishop appears to be burning it down. High end money grab in progress, nothing to see here.

    I thought I understood Catholicism, but listening to Ken Battis has openned my eyes to another side of Catholicism I didn’t imagine existed. I knew about the sex abuse but I thought that was in the rear view mirror but I learn it continues. I didn’t know about the diversion of Catholic contributions to questionable activities. How can 30 parishes close and yet the number of locations for the TLM also shrink? Why punish the TLM folks just when their movement is taking off. Does the leadership on Lindell want to push these people into the SPXX? Ken opens your eyes, he makes you think, he causes you to question and …. he causes you to lose sleep. ….. and at 82 I need all the sleep I can get.

    Dear Ken, it is obvious to me that God has given you a most appropriate mission. He has chosen you and has equipped you with the power of the Holy Spirit and the passion to utilize that power. I thank you most sincerely for all that you have done for this Archdiocese of St. Louis and continue to do. When I look at you in the videos, the architecture of the Cathedral behind you appears to me to be a helmet on your head, no doubt the helmet of righteousness and truth. I fled to the TLM when my home parish closed its’ doors during covid, now it is closing forever. Trust me, those that attend the TLM at the Oratory are not silent, I tell everyone I know of the injustice being enacted in this archdiocese but maybe that is not enough. I’m not sure what to do anymore. It seems as if we (Catholics) are boxing the wind. I think at this point the only thing that will save the Church is a total economic collapse in our country. If no one has any money, no one will be able to use it as a tool to destroy the Church. Anyway thank you, a million times, thank you and may God protect you.
    Sincerely in Christ,
    Mrs. Mary McMahan

VIDEO: Why nothing ever gets put in writing by the Archdiocese of St. Louis

Did the Archdiocese of St. Louis have a written policy about the Covid vaccination? They absolutely did NOT ever put their policy in writing. In the time of the crisis, you would think you would want CLARITY by simply stating your position. St. Cosmas and Damian, patrons of surgeons, doctors and pharmacists, pray for us!

VIDEO: Asking a question is always permissible

Asking a question is always permissible. Dialogue is the answer. Ask our Archdiocesan leaders the tough questions. Their emails are listed below. The new vicars are hiring staff, yet they won’t allow any average lay person to ask questions about what this staff will actually be doing to help evangelize the faith? How can they…

VIDEO: Where is the accompaniment, the dialogue and the synodal process for the laity here in the Archdiocese of St. Louis right now or during the entire All Things New process???

People are seeking the truth. We are built for Truth. We all have an internal radar when there is a lack of honesty. When the Archdiocesan leaders refuse to have a dialogue at all about the closures and changes happening now, then you know they don’t want to be up front and honest about their…
