LABOUR CAUCUS COMMITS TREASON

It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good: this ghastly Labour Government and Tea Party Maori have certainly been a godsend for cartoonists, who are having a field day. 

For the rest of the country, not so much. 91 year-old Perce Harpham, who penned the following piece, is so fed up he's left the Labour Party. But he belonged only for 16 years.  One doubts whether many of the born-Labour diehard-Labour types would desert the ranks. Leftards are ideologues and logic isn't what they do well. Not to mention the Ten Commandments.

Perce Harpham can think. He's a man of that oldfashioned virtue, honour. He loves his country and he's ashamed of Labour and what they've done to New Zealand.

Perce Harpham - who loves sailing

After some 16 years of loyal support I have left the Labour Party because it has left me. I am so ashamed at how “my” party is destroying our legal system and democracy that I wish to be completely dissociated from it.

It would be nice to be able to avoid “The tyranny of the majority” but this means the abandonment of democracy and replacing it with a “tyranny of the minorities”. Over the last few decades Maori have become the dominant minority - overarching the “rich pricks”, the farmers, the unions, the Pasifika citizens and many other minorities.

Possibly without long-term planning the Maori hierarchy have now got themselves into legal structures and positions of authority which one would have expected to occur only if we were conquered by an external agency. In either case it is known as a coup d’etat. And the Labour Party caucus are hell-bent on completing the takeover even though it is clear that many Maori (witness Winston Peters and David Seymour) do not wish to revert to the 1830s.

In 2024 I will have lived half the time since the Treaty was signed and I can see a pattern of misrepresentation which has degraded its meaning and corrupted political parties. It is widely recognised that large donations to political parties are made to secure influence and that this corrupts the system. No amount of money will guarantee a single seat. But the Maori hierarchy can virtually guarantee the outcome for the bloc of Maori seats.

The seats were established in 1868 and were meant to last only five years but the power of the bloc, even then, meant that the seats continued. This power and the bond between the Labour Party and the Ratana Church has meant the continuation and increase in the number of the seats which again were meant to be disestablished when MMP came into being.

The current Labour caucus seems to me to have sold its soul to the Maori hierarchy in order to gain or retain power.

The Labour caucus is not acting in the interests of all citizens, but instead in the self-interest of the Maori hierarchy. It is the latter who are setting the scene for the transfer of wealth and governance to them. The benefits are likely to accrue to only a few. This is not democracy.

It is interesting to note that the Pasifika people come from the Pacific Islands just as the Maori did long ago. Away back they must have common ancestors. And the Pasifika population here is about half the Maori population by number. On average our Pasifika citizens must be less well-off than their Maori brethren but, per capita, they have only half the Maori number in prison.

Possibly the reason for them being better citizens is that they have not identified with the overwhelming propaganda and numerous falsehoods claiming that Maori have been deprived and treated shamefully since the Treaty was signed in 1840. The legal privileges and benefits that Maori now have, and want, are at the expense of all non-Maori.

I have two grandchildren of Maori descent who know their iwi affiliations, four of Maori descent who don’t know their iwi and two who probably don’t have any Maori ancestry. I also have four great-grandchildren, two of whom will learn their ancestry and two who have no Maori ancestry. Under Labour’s new laws they will have radically different legal entitlements in the future of our country. Some of my descendants may be entitled to exercise veto powers in the control of almost all of our country’s water assets (Three Waters legislation) or over almost all town planning decisions (RMA replacement legislation). Clearly some will have no such powers due to their non-Maori heritage.

 

Self-explanatory

The most recent example to become public is that, even without the unimpeachable veto rights now being put in place, we saw iwi block progress then back-flip on the Dome Valley rubbish dump issue - changing their influential position blocking the new dump for Auckland in return for a settlement of millions of dollars and substantial land when the dump is filled. The back-flip decision has reportedly been made by iwi elite without a hui for their members. This is how water resource and other decisions will be made in this country in future thanks to Labour’s new laws.

The Labour Party’s constitution (see https://www.labour.org.nz/party_info) requires that it will act in accordance with “The same basic human rights, protected by the State, [which] apply to all people regardless of race, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religious faith, political belief or disability.” It is clear that the Labour caucus is not acting in accordance with its own constitution.

The race-based policies which have been, and are, being made into law are unsanctioned by members of the Labour Party or any electoral mandate. Further, by transferring governmental and sovereign powers to an ethnic group, caucus members are all in breach of their parliamentary oath to bear true allegiance to the Crown.

It's called treason. 

And do any of them really believe that Queen Victoria entered into a partnership agreement with 500 Maori chiefs on the other side of the world? Or that the said chiefs thought they were in partnership with one another when they had jointly killed some 30 percent of the Maori population in the 35 years since they first got muskets?

 

Police kept the locals out of Opotoki for this 'tangi'

The Labour Caucus seem to uniformly agree that these new policies are mandated by the Treaty, yet the government will not publish the Crown Law advice they claim says this. When one considers Nanaia Mahuta’s duplicitous behaviour in trying to entrench the Three Waters legislation and the breaching of democratic processes in forming the legislation (tens of thousands denied a voice in select committee hearings), then the picture becomes very sinister.

 

 

We are also told that in a generic sense “co-governance” does not have to be interpreted as a threat. But with the particulars of the actual new legislation there is such a threat that even the Chief Justice has felt compelled to speak out about the need for more careful drafting and has indicated the certainty of strife to come with overwhelming burdens for the courts in trying to determine what the laws mean. As in “Alice in Wonderland” , via the Te Mana o te Wai statements, they appear to mean whatever the Maori hierarchy choose them to mean at different times and in different circumstances.

 

It was Ardern, acting per pro Klaus Schwab, who really got the ball rolling

The laws and regulations are now increasingly in a mixture of Te Reo and English with no formal definitions of many words. Moreover, in a supposedly secular country, they require cognisance of Maori spirituality! The requirement to observe Tikanga is a recipe for endless confusion because it is not defined for even one iwi and there are about 150 of them.

There are now 25 MPs (20 percent) of MPs who identify as Maori. This is above the 16 percent of the populace who identify as Maori. That should be co-governance enough. But only if all elected members believe in a democratic future - which clearly the majority, if not all, of the Labour caucus do not. Labour’s racist and tribal co-governance model must be ended in favour of the Treaty obligation to provide one law for all.

GERMAN BISHOP CALLS PRODDIES TO COMMUNION

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address FB Messenger or Twitter.

Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas

The US and German bishops appear to be in cahoots with the Vatican in a campaign to take down the Catholic Church - and New Zealand's Marists look like they're in on it too. 

'Pope Francis' has sent in his heavies to get the dirt, it seems, on Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, 'America's Bishop', who's called out Bergoglio for undermining the Catholic Faith and who was the only US prelate to protest against the blasphemous  Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at the LA Dodgers.

Meanwhile in Germany Bishop Franz-Josef Bode denies foundational Eucharistic dogma by inviting all-comers to receive Communion, Proddies included, and he gets away with it. In Cathnews the Marists (who deny Communion to Catholics who kneel to receive) give +Bode top of the bill for his 'pioneering' move and gaslight the faithful.

It actually looks like Catholics aren't wanted in the Catholic Church any more. You know, the Catholics who actually believe everything that the Church believes and teaches, as Catholics must if they want to win heaven. 

The Society of St Pius X (SSPX) for example, who preach orthodox doctrine and mortal sin and expect the laity to receive the Eucharist at least weekly and to confess on a regular basis because otherwise they won't receive the graces of Eucharist - they're hounded by the Vatican into garages and funeral parlours to celebrate Holy Mass.

Or the Catholics who believe in the sanctity of life and therefore refused the v*x, who were treated like lepers. In fact 'Pope Francis' himself gives the example for a non-Catholic Church by pushing that v*x on the faithful as "an act of love". That's a flat-out lie.

The 'pope' is woke, and that's a lie too. Woke ideology (as Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano wrote on Easter Sunday) is a lie. "Woke ideology ... causes the cancellation of our Identity, our History and our Faith in order to impose the infernal religion of the New World Order and the barbarism of the Great Reset."

The Novus Ordo-ites still sitting dumbly and numbly in their pews (they are fewer and fewer) will soon have to make a choice between Heaven and Hell. They should meditate on Dante Alighieri's line from Canto 3, Inferno: "The darkest places of hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis".

 

When Church Militant broke the news over the weekend that the Vatican had ordered an investigation of Bp. Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, the Catholic social media world exploded, as it should have.

What other response should there be?

The Texas bishop has piled up scorn and private disdain from many of his brother bishops. Now that private disdain has bubbled over into the realm of public disdain, as he is now being "gone after" because of his orthodoxy and willingness to announce it.

He has deservedly earned the nickname "America's Bishop" for his simple manner of clear, direct speaking. And, of course, the hierarchy, as it is currently (and temporarily, we might add) composed, can never tolerate clarity.

They continually push for the agenda of the Democratic Party.GabTweet

They wrap themselves in the mantle of "charity" publicly, while privately, many of these men are the most uncharitable, vindictive, nasty human beings you could ever encounter. They are political-minded animals who seek not the good of souls and the thriving of the Church, but their continued leeching off the institution whose beauty they have traded away for enormous sums of government largesse.

The U.S. bishops are drowning in hundreds of millions of dollars every year handed to them by their government counterparts under the guise once again of "charity," as in funding so-called social justice programs (translation — promoting Democratic Party agenda items).

In reality, those programs and the enormous funding they receive are the cover for keeping the machinery of Catholic, Inc., well-oiled. And in that environment, two things can never be allowed to happen: (1) orthodoxy being preached and (2) being a political conservative.

Strickland ticks both boxes, so little wonder he has drawn the eye of Sauron. A vocal daring Catholic political conservative who also has a miter — that simply cannot be allowed. There's too much at risk for Catholic, Inc.

One of the great ironies in all this is the two-man team sent from the Vatican to "investigate." And for the record, let's be very clear, it is an "investigation," despite the blatantly hypocritical pretense that it is an "apostolic visit." Puh-lease.

If you count Judas an Apostle, then I suppose.

The lead in the two-man team was retired bishop Gerald Kicanas, a man who we called "notorious" in our initial article over the weekend. We didn't get into it all then, but now we will.

Kicanas was rector of Mundelein Seminary in Chicago from 1984 to 1995, much of that time under the even more notorious Cdl. Joseph Bernardin. During his time as rector, Kicanas was made aware from multiple seminarians that another seminarian by the name of Daniel McCormack was sexually harassing them, drinking with them frequently and, after getting them drunk, trying to sexually assault them.

While he was in seminary and in Mexico, he sexually abused two boys. It was later revealed in criminal court proceedings that two seminarians reported those

 happen: (1) orthodoxy being preached and (2) being a political conservative.

During his time as rector, Kicanas was made aware from multiple seminarians that another seminarian by the name of Daniel McCormack was sexually harassing them, drinking with them frequently and, after getting them drunk, trying to sexually assault them.

While he was in seminary and in Mexico, he sexually abused two boys. It was later revealed in criminal court proceedings that two seminarians reported those assaults to Kicanas, who did nothing. Just as he had done nothing when it came to the various and frequent complaints by Mundelein seminarians about McCormack trying stuff in the showers as well as when they were drinking.

Kicanas gave the green light to McCormack's ordination in 1994, and shortly after that, McCormack became one of the most notorious priest sex-abusers in the country, racking up 23 formal complaints (who knows how many did not come forward), serving prison time for molesting five boys, and costing the archdiocese $12 million in settlements in civil proceedings.

McCormack was eventually convicted as well as defrocked and is now being sued civilly by many victims. Kicanas knew all this ahead of time and still gave his blessing to McCormick's being ordained. When the info came out about McCormack once the criminal case was underway, he gave an interview to a local Chicago paper, which asked him point blank about how he greenlit the ordination with all the seminarians coming to him telling him about McCormack.

Kicanas' answer? Wait for it: "I was more concerned with his drinking." We kid you not. This is the man who Rome sent to be the lead investigator to lower the boom — politely, of course, we're sure – on Bp. Strickland.

And for the record, Kicanas, who had been the vice president of the USCCB, came within a handful of votes of actually becoming president.

It was only a last-minute public relations blitz by faithful Catholics back in 2009 that derailed his victory. That's how Cardinal Dolan became president: He was the compromise candidate, who, after his win, went on to tell assembled media that "there is no crisis in the Church." His elevation to the presidency of the USCCB was because of the crisis in the Church.

Scheming, lying politicians who have figured out how to get money from Washington, D.C., while sacrificing the Church — that's what we have. Nothing less. And the sooner that reality gets embraced, the sooner we can do something.

When Church Militant repeatedly says the Church is a dumpster fire right now, we know what we're talking about. But likewise, we need to expand beyond the Strickland news for a bit here and understand there is much more behind the scenes here than is being admitted or even reported.

What many, many people tell us here at Church Militant is we have the ability to connect the dots for them, to point out the intersection, the overlap, of so many areas (call it the "Venn diagram" of the Church's corruption).

There is much more behind the scenes here than is being admitted or even reported.GabTweet

A large part of the corruption happens because of the bishops' unofficial involvement in politics. They continually push for the agenda of the Democratic Party, point by point, but carefully sidestep the prickly situation of being actually officially political. Catholic, Inc., can't jeopardize that precious 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax status.

The truth is you will never meet a more political group in your life than these men. It is this that Strickland has run afoul of. But, of course, Strickland is still alive, unlike Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen who, in death, has run into the exact same buzzsaw of the U.S. bishops jamming up his canonization for pretty much the same reasons: being a political conservative patriot-minded citizen and preaching solid Catholic orthodoxy.

These leaders, they don't care; they'll come after you, dead or alive.https://www.churchmilitant.com/video/episode/vort-the-vaticans-direct-and-eye-opening-attack-on-bp-strickland

 

Bishop Franz-Josef Bode - who bodes ill 

In a pioneering move, the Diocese of Osnabrück in Germany has become the first Catholic diocese to release official guidelines on the concept of Eucharistic hospitality.

The diocese recently published a comprehensive booklet outlining the conditions under which all Christians within the diocese can participate in a Catholic Eucharist or Protestant communion celebration during ecumenically significant occasions.

The move marks a significant departure from the traditional practice, where the reception of the Eucharist was reserved exclusively for Catholic believers.

Note the use of the past tense. 'The reception of the Eucharist was reserved exclusively for Catholic believers.' Insinuating that this absolutely foundational doctrine of the Catholic Church is a thing of the past. It's 'Franciscan' propaganda. Gaslighting.   

Bishop Franz-Josef Bode approved the publication of these guidelines before his resignation in March.

Bishop Bode emphasised the need for opportunities for mutual hospitality, especially in light of the ongoing quest for full church fellowship and the growing understanding between different denominations.

How Proddy can you be? 

The Ecumenical Church Congress held in Osnabrück mid-June provided the occasion for this historic release. On Saturday evening during the event, both Catholic and Protestant communities officially extended invitations for inclusive practices.

The nearly 40-page booklet combines two theological essays by Bishop Bode and Osnabrück theologian Margit Eckholt.

 Wouldn't you know it, there's a female theologian in the woodpile.

 

Prof Margit Eckholt - in the Cathnews woodpile 

It also incorporates personal experiences and reflections from Protestant and Catholic Christians, offering readers a diverse range of perspectives. In addition, the booklet includes references to pertinent theological texts.

The material aims to assist Christians in forming a well-founded opinion, enabling them to decide on suitable occasions whether to extend an invitation to the Eucharist or Communion as a celebrant, or to accept such an invitation as a believer. Diocese of Osnabrück pioneers Eucharistic hospitality (cathnews.co.nz)

Tremain nails it again. Prime Minister Lippety Hipkins is not just stupid but a not-so-covert communist who can't come out of the closet - yet.

While his Government keeps belly-aching about 'climate change' (which is God's chastisement for sin, for which Hipkins' Government can largely share responsibility) Hipkins takes two planes and 80 journos and media to China. Let's hope he loses the latter there, or better still gets lost himself. 

But one's blood truly runs cold at the thought of our Prime Minister, who's messed up as minister of education (kids at school for three days a week), the police (think Parliament protest) and public service (get more to do less work), negotiating anything on New Zealand's behalf with Xi Jinping, the scariest man on the planet.

Sorry but the word 'gormless' springs to mind 

Despite claims of a policy bonfire by Chris Hipkins, the Government is pushing ahead with its divisive race-based water policy. Auckland and Northland will be the first casualties, after new legislation was introduced to parliament this week.

Auckland and Northland will be the guinea pigs in a revised three waters model, becoming the first to form one of 10 water entities in July next year, with the remaining staggered out to mid-2026.

Local Government Minister Kieran McAnulty confirmed the timeline today while introducing new legislation into the House for its first reading to cover recent changes to the water reforms, including expanding the initial four water service entities to 10.

The boundaries will be established roughly along the lines of New Zealand’s 16 regional councils. The 10 entities will be owned by councils via a shareholding and allow more direct engagement with the water entities that will manage water services on their behalf.

The expanded number of proposed entities came after strong opposition from some coucils and organisations about losing local control over water assets, and after the Government consulted up and down the country.

McAnulty said it was a compromise in terms of ensuring there was a level of representation while still delivering economies of scale to ensure cost savings.

The new timeline confirms the Auckland and Northland entity will be in place by July next year. The remaining will be “staggered” out until July 2026.

NZ Herald

Don’t you love how the NZ Herald just shills the Government lines,

We think Cam meant to write 'Government lies' 

especially over shareholding. The shareholding is essentially meaningless without a commensurate level of board control. Auckland Council is nowhere near being represented on the controlling entities at a level that would reflect its shareholding.

Control of these water entities is split among Maori iwi elites, who also get a say on who else is on the boards. This is nothing short of a slow-moving coup that removes control of council and ratepayer assets, giving it to unelected race-based operatives. The co-governance agenda is still in full swing and the apathy of Kiwi voters as their assets are being stripped from under them is astonishing.

The Three Waters reforms were meant to help local councils deal with the cost of investment in water infrastructure – estimated to be about $130 billion-$185 billion over the next 30 years.

Modelling commissioned by the Government reckoned those costs would push up household water and rates bills to as much as $9000 a year by 2051.

McAnulty previously said his model would deliver savings to households of $2770-$5400 per year by 2054.

McAnulty said they would be speeding up the process to have the bill reported back to the House at the end of July, effectively shortening the submissions process, and giving more long-term certainty to councils going through long-term plans.

He said the need for reform was highlighted by recent cyclone damage.

“The damage we have seen from severe weather events is a stark reminder that the resilience of our water system will continue to be tested.”

NZ Herald

Oh, now we see absolutely heroic claims that the recent cyclone damage would have been prevented by water reform. Really? How? By appeasing the Maori gods?

Reminds one of the 'Matariki' overhead that preceded Holy Mass at a certain church in Palmerston North Diocese last Sunday. The ensuing liturgy was simply disgraceful. Worse than merely Protestant. How could it have been otherwise? Thank God this diocese has now, after going on for four years, been given a bishop. 

China welcomes Chippy - "come into my parlour," said the spider to the fly

None of the amalgamations, since Noah was a boy playing with boats in his bathtub, have delivered any of the claimed benefits promoted by the dishonest politicians pushing these agendas.

McAnulty is typical of these politicians. He claims to be a Mass-going Catholic and refuses to lend support to repeal of Ardern's infanticidal abortion legislation. Maybe he is Mass-going, which makes his lie even worse as in presenting for Communion he commits sacrilege and so does the priest who administers the Sacrament. 

The energy reforms of Max Bradford are a case in point. Rodney Hide’s super city plan for Auckland is likewise a complete dog with none of the savings or benefits that he pushed. The polytech reforms of Chris Hipkins are an abject failure, and so too are Andrew Little’s health reforms.

None has worked as intended. Yet they still plough on with boondoggles, blithely insisting we are all wrong when even Blind Freddy can see the water reforms will fail.

Just as the Catholic Church ploughs on with the Novus Ordo, continuing with the same lamentable liturgy when even Blind Freddy can see the pews emptying Sunday by Sunday. 

But by the time we realise it, those responsible will have gifted themselves royal honours and jogged off to high paying sinecure positions, and they will never be held accountable.

Jacinda Ardern and her damehood, 'dear Dr Bloomfield' and his knighthood being the most egregious examples of royal honours. But we hope and pray that their day in court will come and prove most uncomfortable.

BISHOP CRITICISED POPE, VISITED BY VAT HEAVIES

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address FB Messenger orTwitter.

Sisters of sin 

Let's return to the LA Dodgers who grovelled to the blasphemous, Sad and Sorry Sisters (aka Ugly Blisters) of Perpetual Indulgence. They invited them to their 'Pride Night', disinvited them after Catholics' objections, then after shrieks from the Sisters' supporters the Dodgers apologised and reinvited them.

That night, the Dodgers lost. The next day, they suffered their worst at-home loss in 125 years… 15-0. Deo gratias.

Outside that stadium, just one Catholic bishop stood with the 5000 who rallied to protest the horrible blasphemies of the 'Sisters' (drag queens). He was Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas. And guess who the Vatican have sent their heavies after? Not the heretical bishops. Not the LGBTQ bishops. Not the cardinals who want 'trans' children mutilated. No, it's brave Bishop Strickland who's subjected to an "apostolic visitation". 

“It was not even primarily about his ‘rants’ about Pope Francis,”said an anonymous priest in +Strickland's diocese. Oh no of course not. Visitations are dreaded by Church prelates and institutions and although 'governance issues' are the cover for the Vatican's investigation - one hesitates to say interference - in reality this is exactly about +Strickland's use of social media to criticise Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

 

The Vatican heavies come for +Strickland

DETROIT (ChurchMilitant.com) - According to Church Militant sources, the bishop of Tyler, Texas, Joseph Strickland, is currently undergoing an "apostolic visitation" from the Vatican's Dicastery for Bishops.

The immediate focus of the examination is unknown at this time, but the increasingly outspoken prelate, dubbed "America's bishop," has certainly irritated high-ranking members of the hierarchy by defending the Deposit of Faith and condemning the more heterodox opinions of various other prelates.

He was the only US bishop to attend the June 16 protest against the Los Angeles Dodgers for the team's support of the blasphemous Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. It created something of an embarrassment for L.A. Abp. Jose Gómez and his auxiliary bishops.

Strickland has stepped up his social media postings over the past year, going after increasingly confusing comments and holding accountable multiple members of the worldwide hierarchy.

 

While not confirmed, there is widespread speculation in certain circles that Rome is now striking back. 

Archbishop Robert Francis Prevost, the recently appointed prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, ordered Strickland's visitation, and it is being carried out by two retired U.S. bishops acting on behalf of the dicastery's directive. 

Irrelevant prelate (l), Bishop Sullivan (c) +Tim Dolan (r) - birds of a feather

The two bishops, sources report, are the rather notorious Bishop Gerald Frederick Kicanus and auxiliary Bishop Dennis Joseph Sullivan. According to those on the ground, the pair were in Tyler for a full week questioning multiple employees of the diocese. 

The 'rather notorious' Bishop Kicanus

Church Militant reached out to Bp. Strickland for any comment but have received no reply. 

According to sources in Rome, some Vatican and U.S. bishops don't like Strickland's repeated public defense of Church teachings and some in Rome are labeling his speech and social media postings as "imprudent." 

It is unclear whether the visitation is a warning to the 63-year-old bishop or a prelude to his removal. What appears to be clear is that, whatever the official reason, it is most likely a pretext to silence Strickland's comments, according to Church Militant sources.

Church Militant broke this developing story, and we will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

In the meantime, while the Vatican investigates the orthodox, faithful Bishop Strickland. its Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin glibly and rather ridiculously maintains, in the face of all the evidence and contrary to common sense, that "homosexual orientation cannot be considered as either cause or aspect typical of the abuser, even more so when it is decoupled from the general arrangement of the person.” 

Vatican’s Secretary of State Claims Clerical Abuse Not Linked to Homosexuality

While two - to put it nicely - 'pro-LGBTQ' cardinals are attempting to stall a formal revision to the U.S. bishop’s directives to Catholic hospitals and healthcare institutions that would ban “transgender” mutilation of the human body and chemical castration through puberty blockers and hormone infusions.

Now to help get the bad taste of these prelates out of your mouth, and to rub the Dodgers noses in their defeat:

 

It was historic. It was a triumph of good over evil. The LA Dodgers and those backing them refused to back down from honoring the “Sisters” of Perpetual Indulgence, a group that openly mocks nuns and God with horrific sexual imagery of Our Lord and His Blessed Mother.

Catholics for Catholics didn’t sit back. We rallied with other groups, Lifesite, Catholic Vote, Virgin Most Powerful Radio, and America Needs Fatima, to show tremendous UNITY as we stood together against those who defile Holy Mother Church.

Bishop Joseph Strickland of Tyler, Texas, heroically joined us on the streets. Here is what he had to say in an exclusive interview given to Catholics for Catholics just hours before the event. He told me:

“I'll be there because Catholics do need to speak up. We need to speak the truth. The truth of our faith is beautiful. It's a glorious message for 2,000 years, and we cannot be shy about it. We cannot be less than on fire with it because our faith is the truth for humanity. And I think we've kind of lost that edge in recent years, and we need to have the faith, as I say so often, we need to be first-century Christians in the 21st century.

So what did the first-century Christians do? They brought the message of the risen Lord Jesus Christ to the world. The message is out there, but too many people are not paying attention to it. And this procession at Dodger Stadium is just one more episode. Our actions are not about attacking anyone or being against anything. We are in the streets of LA for the truth of Jesus Christ. And just joyfully, vigorously sharing that truth and helping people to wake up to this is truth for every person.”

The event was an “out-of-the-park-homerun.” Here’s the official RALLY TALLY:
   - Number of people expected at the rally? 500. How many showed? 5,000!
   - The “Sisters” were meant to be honored DURING the game. They were hustled into pre-game warm-ups to minimize their public appearance. Even the few fans there at the time gave them heartfelt BOOs.
   - Dodger Stadium holds 56,000 seats. Games against their archrivals, the Giants, are always sold out. Only 41,000 people, however, attended the ballgame that night.
-15,000 people came up with a better thing to do than watch this blasphemy.

The icing on the cake?

The Dodgers lost that night. And the next day, they suffered their worst at-home loss in 125 years… losing 15-0. 😉
 
Catholics for Catholics would like to thank all those who showed up to the rally as well as the literally thousands of people who prayed from all over the world for the success of the event. We had tremendous media coverage, which hit international news. Even the secular press intuitively understood that something was different here.

A new Catholic American moment is rising in this Country. Watch below, and you’ll understand what I mean.
