I hear that!
But even after the election we still have 2 months remaining in this most awful year.

This awful year actually started in Oct 2019, with the release of the virus from Wuhan. Between 6 October and 11 October 2019, a novel coronavirus was released, accidentally or maliciously, from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. Between 7 October and 24 October 2019, there was no cellphone activity around the location of the Wuhan Institute of Virology and it is believed that a hazardous event occurred there.
During that same time period, beginning on 6 October 2019, a three week long meeting between the Catholic Vatican hierarchy and a delegation of Catholics from the Amazon began, that is referred to as the “Amazon Synod.” During the synod, a number of ceremonies and Masses were conducted and wooden idols from the Amazon were included. These idols depicted a nude, pregnant female Mother Earth deity called the “Pachamama”. The idols were bowed down to, were brought into sacred Catholic places, and were temporarily housed in a Catholic church during the three weeks of the synod.
In the early hours of the morning of 21 October 2019, a young, faithful Austrian Catholic, entered the church in which the Pachamama idols had been placed, carefully removed five of them, walked to the bridge over the Tiber, and flung them into the river.
Unfortunately, the idols were recovered and were present at the closing Mass of the Amazonian Synod on 27 October 2019, on the Feast of Christ the King. A Pachamama bowl was also placed on the altar in violation of liturgical norms.
But there, in the midst of Wuhan flu, Pachamama idols, and war against invisible enemy ideologies, in a little country surrounded by the sea, shined a light on 6 October 2019. That same day. It is no accident. Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa, who had previously experienced three Marian apparitions that took place in Akita, Japan between 6 July and 13 October 1973, received a message from The Blessed Virgin Mary for the first time since 1973. The message was, “Put on ashes and pray a repentant Rosary every day.”
I believe that at the end of October this awful year will come to an end.

How?
Whatta Pope! ….Amazon needs its own Church with “an Amazon face and also an indigenous face” rather than “a European Church transplanted in the Amazon”
That’s funny, I thought that Christianity was born in the Middle East and the “Apostolic and Universal Catholic Church” has successfully brought the word of God to every continent and race on Earth for thousands of years (with varying degrees of success) chiefly on the basic idea of one God and one Liturgy for every soul.
Any chance they can farm Francis out to the Protestants?

WOW!!!
I just stumbled onto this GREAT website after surfing for articles on Paradise, CA.
I, too, am a Camp Fire survivor, and BARELY survived escaping that horrible, demonic fire on November 8, 2018.
I had just purchased a home in Ohio just 10 DAYS before the fire hit, returned home to Paradise (I lived on Millwood Lane) to start packing and preparing to move.
A few days later, I had almost NOTHING left to move- my home, my shop, my truck Jeep and RV, my contracting and gunsmithing tools and equipment, and worst of all- my two beloved classic Harleys- a 1972 FLH and a 1969 XLCH that was one of the two “Then Came Bronson” bikes used on the TV show WERE ALL GONE.
The BRIGHT side? I got out ALIVE- just barely. I rescued most of my family photos, a few necessities, and 95% of my extensive firearms collection. I also saved a bit of money- as I suddenly needed a SMALLER moving truck!
Coming up on 2 years since the Camp Fire, I see that nothing in Commiefornia has changed, and almost FOUR MILLION acres have now been consumed by wildfires.
I will be reading this great website daily, as it’s now one of my favorites.
God bless America, Conservatives, and President Trump. MAGA!
(PS) The cost of living in NE Ohio is LESS than 1/3 of what it was in NorCal, and houses here cost 1/4 of what they would in NorCal.

This is NOT an “awful year” and I can prove it to anyone who says it is.
My proof: Gerard still has the “Fire Sale” girl up on his sidebar, and I’m still in love with her. [Sorry, honey. I’ll get over her soon enough. Probably. ]

Francis is an antipope. Probably. And a socialist liberation theologist. Definitely. As a relatively new Catholic, this neither surprises me nor scandalizes me. But for the cradle Catholic, it is a vexing and never ending show of linguistic contortionism. Many just walk away, when they should read the words of simple shepherd children and nuns from hundreds of years in the past. Those prophecies are astounding with their specifically accurate timetables and events. And always, the messengers tell them the same thing: Repent! Do penance! Same as in the Old Testament. Just watch the slick and oily media hound Bishop Robert Barron describe the victory of the Nouvelle Théologie over the traditional and orthodox beliefs. Methinks he doth too soon gloat. It’s never wise to gloat in French.
So we are governed by heretics, apostates, cowards, and traitors. I’m still alive, still believing, and praying, and thankful to be among people like you all here who comment. Life is still amazing.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
