The Cantankerous Catholic

If the Church has been infiltrated with such evil, why remain in it? Out of the eighty episodes I’ve done, I’ve answered that question in perhaps 15% of them. However, I’m not a priest. You need to hear it from a priest. Not the sort of priest who wants you to stay in the Church because he needs your money, but the sort of priest who is interested in saving your soul. So we’re going to hear Fr. Altman again today.

The perception we get of Bishop Jellyfish, more commonly known as Bishop Timothy L. Doherty of Lafayette, Indiana, gets really bad when we contrast him with Fr. Backbone, better known as Fr. Theodore Rothrock, a priest under the jurisdiction of Bishop Jellyfish. We’ll be talking about what’s happening here in this episode.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I never have been. However, conspiracies do indeed exist, otherwise there’d be no such criminal charge as conspiracy.

There’s a conspiracy to destroy both the Catholic Church and the United States of America. When the entire story is laid out for you in this episode, I think you’ll be astounded.

I’d planned to do a patriotic episode celebrating the greatness of America for Independence Day this week. Instead I decided to do this episode because I believe tackling truths we’d rather not face about things going on in America is a much better way of celebrating our nation’s 244th birthday.

The USCCB and the vast majority of the bishops who make up this abomination to God are corrupt to the core. I don’t like having to call out bishops for the evil things they do, but this show will nonetheless always draw attention to to bad bishops. We can’t do anything about removing them, but we Catholic laity can make it painful enough for them to motivate them to possible change—or at least make them start acting more like bishops. Remember: change only happens when a person has suffered enough. In this episode, we’re going to see if we can make Bishop John Stowe suffer a little.

My confessor and I were having a spirited conversation the other day when he came to hear my confession and give me spiritual direction. One of the issues we discussed dealt with pro-life matters. As we talked, I realized the next episode of The Cantankerous Catholic was in our conversation. That’s what we’ll talk about this week.

We’re under attack the fourth time, right this very minute. America is burning, and our leaders just twiddle their thumbs in response. Many of them are actually overtly supporting and encouraging the criminals who are attacking us.

There’s plenty of blame for this to be passed around, and there are solutions to stop this madness—none of which are without bloodshed at this point. These are the things we’re going to examine this week.

Over the last few weeks, while my audience has continued to grow, most of the emails and comments I’ve been getting have been less than complimentary about the things I’ve been saying about government and our bishops during this coronavirus lockdown. In fact, some have been downright nasty.

Most podcast hosts would begin to backpedal from the unpopular things they’ve said. That’s not my style. If I believe I’m right, I’ll just double down and not care at all what people say or think. If we’re going to be true to God and ourselves, we’ve got to stick to our guns. Like I always say, “Comfort and Conviction don’t live on the same block.”

Not all the emails and comments have been bad. Some have been good, but there was one exceptional comment left for me on my Facebook page. I want to read it to you, because I think you’ll get a lot out of it.

The United States of America used to be a Christian nation. In fact George Washington said, “The future of this nation depends on the Christian training of our youth. What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ.”

There are very few real Christians left. Christianity in America is largely just a facade today. Most Americans, regardless of what religious affiliation they claim, practice the religion of narcissism.
