I watched Father Rodriguez grow up as a young boy in our parish. He is from a wonderful family. The way he was treated by O’dork was awful. Not only that but he was banished to Van Horn, Tx. By the Democrat Catholic Dioceses. Who are running migrants through our old Convent. It’s awful. It’s kept me away from church. Hardly hear any sermons on abortions either.

Don’t let others sins cause you to sin.

I teach my RCIA students that the only time you're excused from your Sunday Mass obligation is when you're sick or caring for someone who's sick (or urgently needed your help) or it is physically impossible to get there. Middle of Utah is not enough: it would have to be middle of North Korea.

OR: if the Mass is flat-out invalid (the padre adlibs the Canon or is tryna concelebrate with some addled priestess or making as if to consecrate Doritos and Diet Pepsi.)

Not liking the choir, the priest or the sermon is not a sufficient reason; and if you could have seen it coming you should have made provision to drive 30 minutes to an hour,if necessary, to assist at Mass in a different diocese.

I admit I have an unfair advantage in that I have a hearing disability, and can easily tune out any sapsucker sermonizing and dwell in my own edifying thoughts.

However,you can achieve the same with hearing protectors/ industrial earplugs. $10 and you're set for a lifetime.

You owe it to the Lord. If you can't rejoice in Him you can at least commiserate with Him.

And give your Catholic Charitable dollars to Church Militant or the Lepanto Institute or your favorite cranky trad.

(No insult meant. I aspire to be a cranky trad.)

I am dead serious. When the Lord rescues His church, He's going to want to see you in the ranks of the Resistance, not with the comfort-seekers, the AWOLs and defectors.
