Pray for Fr Ripperger, may his obedience open the floodgates of God’s grace for him and all who have benefited from his work.
I encourage everyone to visit pillarsoffaith.net click the drop down menu in the top right corner and chose, “the bishop teaches” Sacred Scripture. October 18th post examines Genesis 12,13 & 24 as we learn about Abram, Lot and Melchisedech.
Amen Archbishop, let us remember this primary purpose of Catholic education, “to help children attain heaven”.
“I have often said during my 20 years as a bishop that I am not interested in a private education for the privileged as an apostolate of the Church. The Archdiocese of Portland should not be operating schools whose institutional priorities and plans are dominated by a secular, utilitarian vision of academic excellence and great sports programs, while remaining inaccessible to so many of our families because of high tuition costs. To do so would be wholly inconsistent with the history and purpose of Catholic education. Our first job is not to prepare children eventually to get into a great college or university, but to help them get into heaven!”
Portland Archbishop Alexander King Sample
I urge faithful Catholics to read the “Plumb-line” article posted today. We MUST remain vigilant regarding authority in Christ’s Church. True authority always flows from Christ and the Divine Authority He has granted to His hierarchical Church.

I encourage everyone to join us as we begin our study of Lumen Gentium, the 3rd constitution of Vatican II that we are studying. It focuses on the nature of the Catholic Church.

Thank you Bishop Schneider for your strong and faithful voice…
Here is the full text of Bishop Athanasius Schneider's magnificent talk at the CIC two weekends ago. It's a must-read, especially for all who feel bruised, discouraged, confused, or scandalized by what's going in the Church these days.

Please join us for this scripture study as we walk together through Genesis.

I am in complete agreement Archbishop, we must bridge these fractures in Christ’s Church and be united in Him. The Eucharistic altar must once again be a sign of unity.
I urge everyone to read this important teaching, critical for our time…
From the first instruction by Saint Vincent of Lerins, priest
(Cap 23: PL 50, 667-668)
The development of doctrine
Is there to be no development of religion in the Church of Christ? Certainly, there is to be development and on the largest scale.
Who can be so grudging to men, so full of hate for God, as to try to prevent it? But it must truly be development of the faith, not alteration of the faith. Development means that each thing expands to be itself, while alteration means that a thing is changed from one thing into another.
The understanding, knowledge and wisdom of one and all, of individuals as well as of the whole Church, ought then to make great and vigorous progress with the passing of the ages and the centuries, but only along its own line of development, that is, with the same doctrine, the same meaning and the same import.
The religion of souls should follow the law of development of bodies. Though bodies develop and unfold their component parts with the passing of the years, they always remain what they were. There is a great difference between the flower of childhood and the maturity of age, but those who become old are the very same people who were once young. Though the condition and appearance of one and the same individual may change, it is one and the same nature, one and the same person.
The tiny members of unweaned children and the grown members of young men are still the same members. Men have the same number of limbs as children. Whatever develops at a later age was already present in seminal form; there is nothing new in old age that was not already latent in childhood.
There is no doubt, then, that the legitimate and correct rule of development, the established and wonderful order of growth, is this: in older people the fullness of years always brings to completion those members and forms that the wisdom of the Creator fashioned beforehand in their earlier years.
If, however, the human form were to turn into some shape that did not belong to its own nature, or even if something were added to the sum of its members or subtracted from it, the whole body would necessarily perish or become grotesque or at least be enfeebled. In the same way, the doctrine of the Christian religion should properly follow these laws of development, that is, by becoming firmer over the years, more ample in the course of time, more exalted as it advances in age.
In ancient times our ancestors sowed the good seed in the harvest field of the Church. It would be very wrong and unfitting if we, their descendants, were to reap, not the genuine wheat of truth but the intrusive growth of error.
On the contrary, what is right and fitting is this: there should be no inconsistency between first and last, but we should reap true doctrine from the growth of true teaching, so that when, in the course of time, those first sowings yield an increase it may flourish and be tended in our day also.
I highly recommend the film, Adore Him, every Catholic should see it and then invite everyone you know to see it. We need Jesus and we can all turn to Him. adoremovement.com/

Men cannot be mothers.
These tiny babies were intentionally separated by surrogacy from the only mum they ever knew, and will never have a mum again.👇
Amen Lepanto Institute…sadly the whole gathering taking place in Rome, attempting to carve the errors of Amoris Laetitia in stone is worse than flirting with blasphemy.
