“IRE may be understood in two ways.
“In one way, as a simple movement of the will that inflicts punishment not through passion, but by virtue of a judgment of the reason: and in this case, without a doubt, lack of ire is a sin. This is how Chrysostom understands ire when he says: ‘Ire, when it has a cause, is not ire but judgment. For properly speaking, ire is a movement of passion. And when a man is irate with just cause, his ire does not derive from passion. Rather, it is an act of judgment, not of ire.”
“In another way, ire can be understood as a movement of the sensitive appetite agitated by passion with bodily excitation. This movement is a necessary sequel in man to the previous movement of his will, since the lower appetite naturally follows the movement of the higher appetite unless some obstacle prevents it. Hence the movement of ire in the sensitive appetite cannot be lacking altogether, unless the movement of the will is altogether lacking or weak. Consequently, the lack of the passion of ire is also a vice, as it is the lack of movement in the will to punish according to the judgment of reason.”
— St. Thomas Aquinas
We should be irate over the inevitable state of Syria right now.

We should be justly irate that the whole LGBT movement was a US funded intel op that was never organic.

“And when a man is irate with just cause, his ire does not derive from passion. Rather, it is an act of judgment, not of ire.”
That is why when anyone like Antipope Bergoglio claims that you should not judge, be very wary of that person. That person is not behaving like a Catholic and probably is not a Catholic. Say right back, “Are you JUDGING that no one except you should judge?”
One thing that should move all American Catholics to holy ire is the evil “FrancisBishops” [as Frank Walker calls them] persecuting American seminarians, trying to get any orthodox one to quit, constantly harrassing them [often sexually], and then replacing them all with foreign priests.
This does not happen in the Diocese of Arlington in Virginia, which is excellent, and has over 50 seminarians. But I have noticed it in other dioceses, especially the Archdiocese of Mobile. The evil Archbishop Rodi [one of McCarrick’s “nephews”] does not WANT any American priests [except for a few that he hopes he can corrupt]. If they resist his advances, he persecutes them relentlessly. His apartment-mate in Mobile is the very young Director of Vocations.
Why can he behave so cruelly and with such hate towards Americans? Because he CAN with our taxpayer money. He can replace them all with a nonstop flow of easily controllable and corrupt third world nation priests, especially from Africa and India, many of them who come from fly by night new human trafficking religious orders and foreign diocesan seminaries, who obviously have been receiving USAID money. They recruit the poorest men in these nations, promising them American wealth and an American salary. They also promise them that they can bring relatives eventually.
No foreign priest should ever be allowed to be a pastor in an American parish at this time. We are not mission territory.
The Trump Administration needs to cut off the funding that brings them here. If these foreign priests were sincere, they would be working to bring the Gospel to their own citizens in their home countries, not cooperating with evil bishops to replace American priests.
That’s interesting because here in the Scotland UK we rely on priests from Africa in many dioceses and they are usually orthodox, prayerful, good in confession and preach the Gospel fearlessly….albeit they are NO, and we are most definitely mission territory. The bishops here are complete weaklings sucking up to the antipope at any opportunity. It is not any wonder at all that we lack vocations to a perilous level.
West-Backed Jihadists In Syria Massacre Over 1000 Alawite & Christian Men, Women & Children
“After several days of radical Sunni Islamist militants targeting religious minorities in Syria for mass killings, mainly in coastal areas, the mainstream media has belatedly begun to cover it (as the killings are growing to the point of getting too hard to ignore). Some correspondents estimated that there are thousands dead and wounded, mostly Alawites but also Syrian Christians among them, as post-Assad Syria unravels under Hayat Tahrir al-Sham’s (HTS) Jolani.
“The death toll from two days of clashes between Syrian security forces and loyalists of ousted President Bashar Assad and revenge killings that followed has risen to more than 1,000, a war monitoring group said Saturday, making it one of the deadliest acts of violence since Syria’s conflict began 14 years ago,” The Associated Press reports.
The jihadists, which include foreign fighters as well as ruling HTS members, in some cases are simply going into the homes of non-Sunnis and massacring whole families. The terrorists haven’t been shy about uploading their killings on the internet as well as in livestreams. Men, women, children, and even babies are being brutally murdered.”
