From “M. Murphy” in the combox of this post:

Had this comment removed from The Remnant who had been cheering all the bishops, etc “resisting Francis to his face”

<Removed>
Okay I am going to say it…
I am Not in union with Bishops and Cardinals who refuse to submit to the one they believe to be the true Pope. This is what Luther and Henry VIII did!
I will however support every of them who will say they refuse to submit to this man because he’s a heretic, an apostate, an anti Pope!
A destroyer!
Catholics don’t keep silent on truth!
Catholics don’t ask valid Popes to resign!
Catholics don’t denigrate the Pope or Papacy!
Catholics don’t refuse submission to the Papacy!
Ecumenical Council Vatican I (1870),
“For in the Apostolic See the Catholic religion has always been preserved unblemished, and sacred doctrine been held in honor…And indeed all the venerable Fathers have embraced, and the holy orthodox Doctors have venerated and followed their [Popes] apostolic doctrine; knowing most fully that this See of Saint Peter remains ever free from all blemish of error, according to the divine promise of the Lord our Saviour made to the Prince of His disciples: ‘I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted, confirm thy brethren.’”
St. Catherine of Siena please pray for us!
St. Bernard of Clairvaux please pray for us!
St. Robert Bellarmine please pray for us!

Over 25% of Americans born between 1997 and 2012 identify as LGBTQ, significantly higher than previous generations, according to a Tuesday poll from the Public Religion Research Institute.

The poll found that nearly 50% of Gen Z are more likely to identify as liberal and tend to be less religious than their millennial, Gen X or baby boomer counterparts. Meanwhile, 28% of Gen Z consider themselves LGBTQ, compared to only 16% of millennials, 7% of Gen X and a mere 4% of baby boomers.

Gen Z was also more likely to identify as “liberal” at 43%, with one out of six of the generation now eligible to vote, according to the poll. The poll respondents said that 31% of them identified as Democrats, 30% as Independents and only 21% claimed to be Republicans.

The younger generation was also most likely to express displeasure with older leadership in political office, with nearly 58% saying that “we won’t be able to solve the country’s big problems until the older generation no longer holds power” regardless of party affiliation, according to the poll.

The poll also found that respondents were less likely to belong to a specific faith, with 33% claiming a non-religious status. Data from April 2023 revealed that Gen Z was least likely to attend church services among all generations at 38%, and even those who identified as religious did not often attend church compared to older generations.

The survey was conducted from Aug. 21 to Sept. 15 with 6,014 participants aged 13 to 25. The margin of error for respondents aged 13 through 17 was plus or minus 1.51%, while the margin of error for those 18 through 25 was plus or minus 1.58%.

The magnitude of the constant filth coming out of the Vatican in the last decade can and does get one down. One disastrous evil follows another, and it can be difficult to retain our sense of righteous anger and outrage over the insults to Our Lord and His Church.

In this environment, I believe it is important not to become inured to this pattern to the point of numbness. We need prudence, yes, but it is no virtue to fail to be offended and outraged about what is happening.

So, here it is. To reinforce the above point, I want to publicly deplore this announcement of blessing unrepentant homosexual “couples” in the Basilica housing the relics of the first Pope and Rock of the Church. It is despicable. Evil will come from it. It cannot but anger God and call down His anger upon those responsible and those complicit.

May God have mercy on us. May Mary shield men of good will from His righteous anger. Her Immaculate Heart’s triumph cannot come soon enough.

Ford Motor F 0.32%increase; green up pointing triangle is slashing production of its F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck while adding workers to its gas-engine vehicle factories, citing weaker-than-expected demand for battery powered models.

The Dearborn, Mich., automaker said Friday it is moving 1,400 of the 2,100 hourly employees at the Lightning plant to gas-engine factories and other operations, reducing to one work shift, from two. Some workers are expected to take retirement packages negotiated as part of a recent deal with the United Auto Workers union.

A spokeswoman for the company declined to quantify the planned cut to Lightning production. A letter Ford sent to suppliers late last year, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, said the automaker was expecting to reduce Lightning output in half this year because of “changing market demand.”

The electric truck has been a central part of Ford’s EV strategy in the past few years, and the plant itself has often been in the spotlight, even receiving a visit from President President Biden before the vehicle was revealed…

(If you click through to the study, you will see that they used the baby “brain material” to grow brains that were full adult size. -nvp)

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and H. G. Wells’s Island of Doctor Moreau warned of the horrors that might be achieved through science unmoored from morality. But we didn’t listen:

Scientists at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in the Netherlands aimed to grow a brain in early-mid development and so used the brain tissue from aborted fetus’ that were in the gestational period of weeks 12 through 15.

Similarly, the communists running China harvest organs from prison camp detainees killed by the government.

Anonymous donors agreed for scientists to use the tissue for research purposes only.

Oh, that’s all right then. Carry on.

The team found that by splitting the fetal brain organoid, it would reform at twice the original size within 20 to 30 days of culture.

This full process continued over eight months, with the mini brains eventually growing to 1,500 cubic centimeters in size, at which point its growth slowed down but could be maintained.

The terms “consciousness” and “soul” don’t come up in the story.

The stated purpose sounds great: to cure childhood brain cancer. However, the words “without limits” should raise the hair on the back of your neck:

‘We work together with passion and without limits every day to improve the survival rate and quality of life of children with cancer. Now, and in the long term,’ Princess Máxima Center said, adding: ‘Because children have their whole lives ahead of them.’

Unless they get aborted for being inconvenient and have their brains harvested.

On a tip from Heckrules.
