In a personal injury or medical malpractice case, the cost of future care plays a key role. Debbie Wuerl, a legal nurse consultant with a range of experience in nursing areas, specializes in personal injury cases and working with medical malpractice attorneys. She has particular expertise in working on cost projections This is not the same as but is part of a life care plan. Debbie focuses on future costs that derive from the injury or other conditions: medications, future surgeries, in-patient and outpatient therapies, and other expenses associated with the condition. While this involves carefully studying medical records, it can also entail personal investigation. She may visit patients in the hospital or in their homes. Particularly through home visits, she can gain a more in-depth perspective on the patient's needs. Some may have no one to drive them to medical or therapy appointments. She may learn that others don't understand what the doctors or other practitioners are saying and may go to the practitioners and recommend that they “humanize” their communications with the client. She summarizes her findings in an easy-to-read table format that begins her report. The accessibility of this information has, she says, helped to get many cases settled in mediation without trial. If you are looking for another way to employ your LNC skills, consider Exploring cost projections. This podcast will give you a good start. Join me in this episode of Calculating Cost Projections - The LNC Role - Debbie Wuerl What does “cost projection” mean? How does this differ from “life care planning” projections? What qualifications are required to do cost projections? What issues does a cost projection need to include? How can it be problematic to get the necessary documentation for a cost projection?

Fr. Altman reflects upon the gospel story of the good shepherd. He discusses the reason why Judas likely betrayed Jesus. The good shepherd's job is to lead us to eternal life. The bad shepherd abandons his sheep during their time of need. He cites examples of bad shepherds, including Cardinal Deardon, Bernadine and Wuerl and thier successors. Let keep the faith no mater what and avoid following Judas.

L'arcivescovo di Washington DC, Wilton Gregory, nero, è veramente molto distratto. Certo, essendo succeduto a vescovi come McCarrick e Wuerl, di cose a cui pensare ne avrà molte… ma dimenticarsi di un invito da parte del Presidente degli Stati Uniti, per partecipare a una cerimonia in uno dei più importanti, se non il più importante santuari degli Stati Uniti …e in particolare per la commemorazione di un papa che ti ha fatto vescovo…insomma c'è bisogno di un grado di distrazione eccezionale.

For January 27, 2018.... Christmas came late for me (or really, really early), as we learn that Justin Trudeau has unexpectedly replaced Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould with David Lametti. Quack Tracks A judge has ruled that the Stephans will not have their legal fees paid for by the Province of Alberta. The Regressive Left Files Comedian Zach Poitras has been denied a spot to perform at the Université du Québec à Montréal. The reason? He's white and has dreadlocks. The event, the Snowflake Comedy Club, could not have been named more appropriately. Catholic Watch A representative of Alberta's Catholic school system says “The courts have told us that we have to be Catholic or there's no reason for us to exist.” Guess what? There's no reason for you to exist. A Catholic priest in Calgary's NE quadrant, Malcolm Joe D'Souza, has been charged with sexual assault. I'd chalk this up to a one-off, but over a 26-year span he had been moved between a number of parishes in southern Alberta. Sound familiar? And, yes. This was on Bishop Fred Henry's watch. Embattled ex-Cardinal Wuerl claims lapses in memory over having heard about sexual abuse allegations against Theodore McCarrick. Someone should give Wuerl a Rolodex to keep them all straight. Miscellaneous... The two men behind the free Toronto "newspaper" Your Ward News which, among other things, wants rape decriminalized and claims a bloodthirsty Jewish conspiracy is afoot, will appeal their hate speech conviction. Totally forgetting Jesus was himself a Jew, one of the defendants said, "We have Jesus on our side." Ironeeeeee!

Facebook shut down 559 pages and 251 personal accounts yesterday. After catching a lot of heat for security breaches, privacy concerns and participating (whether willingly or unwillingly) in impacting election outcomes, the company said it is banning pages which are "working to mislead others about who they are, and what they are doing." Some of the pages that are being closed belong to legitimate journalists who are providing alternative narratives to those being presented in mainstream media. What does this portend for the future of the free exchange of ideas in the virtual public square via social media and beyond? This is virtual censorship – I say virtually since FB is taking action as a private entity, not involving the government, but with the way that FB and now Twitter have become so ingrained into our social fabric, should they be regulated as public utilities are?A Turkish court on Friday ordered the release of the American pastor Andrew Brunson from house arrest, a move that will end his 24-month imprisonment and allow him to fly home and that signaled a truce of sorts in a heated diplomatic dispute between Turkey and the United States. Mr. Brunson was sentenced to three years, one month and 15 days in prison, but the judge lifted all judicial controls - including a ban on travel - due to his good behavior and in view of time served, leaving him free to leave the country immediately. Mr. Brunson left the courthouse by a car shortly after the decision was announced, and American officials following the case said he would return home to Izmir before departing for the United States on Saturday morning. It is alleged that US intelligence officials told The Washington Post they have been presented with video and audio recordings of the murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi inside his own nation's consulate in Istanbul. According to anonymous intelligence officials cited by The Post, the recordings capture the moments before and during what they described as Mr. Khashoggi's violent death. The 59-year-old, a columnist for The Post, was allegedly killed at the hands of a team of Saudi security personnel flown by private jet into Turkey's capital city just hours before he was scheduled to arrive at the consulate to settle routine personal matters. So, first we have to be careful since we are dealing with anonymous sources here, but what does this say about government intelligence services? Are the US and Turkey admitting that they are spying on embassies?The media branch of Yemen's Ansar Allah military released footage on Friday showing the moment that strategic Saudi military locations were captured in the eastern al-Doud mountains and al-Reqa'h military bases, located in Saudi Arabia's southwestern region of Jizan, approximately 900 kilometers (559 miles) south of the Saudi capital of Riyadh. Saudi Arabia has not yet commented on the recent attacks. Yemen's army launched two ballistic missiles at a gathering of Saudi military forces, including mercenaries, just east of al-Doud. A group of Saudi-allied mercenaries south of al-Khobeh in Jizan was also targeted. Later in the day, Yemen's army struck a Saudi military base in Jizan with two ballistic missiles, killing a number of Saudi soldiers, according to two military sources in Yemen's army. Another missile reportedly struck its target in the southwestern Saudi region of Asir, according to a Yemeni military source's statement to MintPress.Pope Francis accepted the resignation of Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the embattled archbishop of Washington, DC, and one of the church's most powerful Americans. But the pope's high praise for Wuerl in the wake of two clergy sexual abuse scandals angered some abuse survivors. Wuerl is the most prominent American Catholic to step down since the abuse scandal reignited this summer. But Francis has asked Wuerl to remain as the archdiocese's apostolic administrator - akin to an interim manager - until a successor is named. And in a letter released Friday, the pope praised Wuerl for his "nobility" in handling the criticism against him.GUESTS: Elisabeth Myers — Editor-in-chief of Inside Arabia.Caleb Maupin — Journalist and political analyst who focuses his coverage on US foreign policy and the global system of monopoly capitalism and imperialism.

If I knew the titles I would create, maybe the programs would happen better. In this case, the title was better flowing then the flow of topics. But I am always aware as to not bore.

Zubik was born September 4, 1949, in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, to the late Stanley and Susan (Raskosky) Zubik. He attended Saint Stanislaus Elementary School and Saint Veronica High School, both in Ambridge, before entering Saint Paul Seminary in Pittsburgh. He received an undergraduate degree at Duquesne University in 1971 and went on to study at Saint Mary Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland, where he earned a degree in theology in 1975. Bishop Zubik was ordained a priest on May 3, 1975, by Bishop Vincent M. Leonard at Saint Paul Cathedral in Pittsburgh. Bishop Zubik served as Parochial Vicar of Sacred Heart Parish, Shadyside, until 1980. He was then assigned as Vice Principal of Quigley Catholic High School in Baden as well as Chaplain to the Sisters of Saint Joseph Motherhouse and Chaplain to the students at Mount Gallitzin Academy. At the same time, he began graduate studies at Duquesne University where he earned a master’s degree in education administration in 1982. He served in the role of adjunct spiritual director at Saint Paul Seminary from 1984 through 1991 and associate spiritual director at Saint Vincent Seminary, Latrobe, from 1989 through 1996. In 1987, Bishop Zubik was appointed Administrative Secretary to then-Pittsburgh Bishop Anthony J. Bevilacqua, who later became the Cardinal Archbishop of Philadelphia. In 1988, he was appointed Administrative Secretary and Master of Ceremonies to then-Pittsburgh Bishop Donald W. Wuerl (now Cardinal Archbishop of Washington, DC), where he served until 1991, when he began his service as Director of Clergy Personnel. In 1995, he was named Associate General Secretary and Chancellor of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, and on January 1, 1996, became Vicar General and General Secretary—a position in which he served until his appointment as the Bishop of the Diocese of Green Bay.

TRANSCRIPT Church Militant (a 501(c)4 corporation) is responsible for the content of this commentary. There are less than two weeks to go for the future of America. Period. And that is no exaggeration. It's actually an understatement because what will happen across the globe if Trump loses will be a total crushing of any burgeoning movements of freedom in other nations. When Trump won in 2016, it awoke a sense of anti-globalism across the planet. People enslaved to elitist one-world-government legislation plucked up the courage to combat it, inspired by a renewed American desire for freedom and patriotism. This one is for all the marbles. And don't think for a moment that the Luciferian Party of Death doesn't know that. They are pulling out every stop they can to sink Trump. But we know all that. That's why Antifa mobs attacked a freedom protest in San Francisco last weekend — physically assaulting not only the organizer of the protest, knocking out two of his teeth and also sending three San Francisco police officers to the hospital. The people around President Trump have been very concerned over the past few years about the threat of tyranny slowly descending on the world — communism rising. Catholics are born for combat. Matt Schlapp is a trusted confidant of President Trump as well as a devout, faithful Catholic. As a Catholic whose vision is not limited to just the natural world, he brings an uncommon point of view (but actually the only legitimate one) to the whole scene. It's taken a methodical, slow march by the Marxists through the institutions — predominantly education and media — but we've now arrived at the point where they are within a whisker of pulling off making America a socialist nation. Schlapp shared with us that he (and pretty much every Catholic he knows who understands the larger picture) is storming Heaven with prayers for the protection of the country from the communist scourge. It's a key point that too many people, even including Catholics who count themselves as faithful, have simply been out to lunch on all this. They are the typical example of what Our Lord said about people being asleep when the enemy came and sowed weeds in the garden. If Our Lady grants us a reprieve one more time, we must not only pray for that, but promise, here and now, right this minute, that we will not be content with the status quo. The Church's hierarchy is a cesspool of corruption, and too many Catholics have done nothing, even knowing it. Complacency has morphed into indifference — a greater concern for leisure than fighting, for comfort than fighting for victory. Pope Benedict said to us, "You were not made for comfort; you were made for greatness." The very principle of the Church Militant fighting evil in this world has been cast aside. If Biden and the communists win, the lazy, indifferent Catholics, the ones who don't actually go to Mass and believe the Faith, those Catholics who did not fight when there was a fight to engage in, they will get everything they deserve. How dare anyone who regards himself a loyal son of the Church or counts himself as faithful have sat by these past years and done nothing or next to nothing? What did you do about the McCarrick revelations (which revealed much more than just a twisted old pervert assaulting hundreds of seminarians)? It shed light on the whole corrupt network that allowed him to function for decades. It revealed the liars in miters — like Cdl. Wuerl and Cdl. Farrell, who both rushed to do interviews saying they were "shocked." A true Catholic believes in faith and works. Did you organize other Catholics in your parish or social circles? Did you schedule an appointment with your pastor and/or bishop and say until the full truth is exposed, they are cut off from your funds? Did you organize protests at the chancery? Did you demand a full public release of your bishop's financials? Did you demand to know exactly what the faculty at seminaries are teaching? Did you look at the required reading? Did you review the credentials and ideological leanings of the seminary faculty? Did you demand that your bishop denounce the wicked Fr. James Martin, who reaches Catholics in your diocese via social media? Did you challenge and protest any diocesan conferences where the speakers are anything but orthodox? If this has not become your life's mission (to the extent your station in life permits it), then you need to get on your knees and not only pray for America to be spared, but commit to doing everything you can do to right this ship. These evil politicians, many of whom are Catholic, have made such great strides because of the failures and cooperation with evil of the hierarchy. Do not pray to spare America if you aren't willing to step up in a period of grace and actually do something with the time given. A true Catholic believes in faith and works. Church Militant's full interview with Matt Schlapp will air, as one last push for Catholic voters, on Nov. 1 — two days before the election. It will be a free Mic'd Up episode titled "Catholics for Trump." We need to work like crazy in these last few days. But if we are able to win, then the real hard work begins. As Pope Leo XIII so correctly said, Catholics are born for combat.
TRANSCRIPT Shortly after the news broke about Theodore McCarrick in June of 2018 that he was a serial homopredator, the modernist spin machine went into overdrive covering its tracks. In a stunningly audacious interview at the annual Knights of Columbus convention that summer, Cdl. Donald Wuerl, who turned out to be the frontman for the cover-up, totally attempted to deflect when questioned by another liar in a collar, Fr. Thomas Rosica. For the record, the truth of both these men has been fully revealed. Rosica being a serial plagiarist is now in "ecclesiastical Siberia," where he should have always been, and Wuerl was essentially embarrassed into stepping down after his role in the cover-up. But life being what it is, Rosica gets banished and Wuerl collects a couple of million dollars a year from the archdiocese of Washington, D.C. The interview, however, revealed a lot more because Wuerl signaled in that interview to his brother bishops to hold the party line and do or say nothing. When it came to homosexual bishops or cover-up bishops, all of this was to be kept "in-house." That summer was a total revealing of the corruption in the hierarchy — from McCarrick and the Pennsylvania grand jury report, to the original Vigano testimony where, for the first time, the presence of an active, wicked, homosexual cabal was outed as having a stranglehold on the Church. If knowledge were not king, the evil bishops and their cowardly counterparts would not go to such great lengths to deprive you of it. But to Wuerl, who had been a master of deceit his entire time in robes, this was just another opportunity to get control of the narrative by saying the issue went back "decades and decades" so there was no need for him to resign. Wuerl, with his serpentine demeanor, went on the secular media tour, continuing the cover-up not only of himself but of all the other bishops involved in this filth — just like so many other cardinals in the Church whose resumes are replete with degrees in lying, deceit, deflection and falsehoods. To dive a little deeper into the "decades and decades ago" fabrication, if that is the case, then why was a Brazilian bishop just relieved of his duties for pleasuring himself on a video feed? Why was a Michigan priest, trained at Sacred Heart Seminary here in Detroit just a few years ago and touted as a "model seminarian," just arrested and charged with child sex trafficking? Why was the highest-ranking priest in the United States, Msgr. Jeffrey "Grindr" Burrill, just caught making hundreds of hookups for homosexual activity? Why is the North American College in Rome currently being sued for homopredator behavior on the part of the vice rector who mysteriously just resigned out of the blue? Included in that suit are more than 30 U.S. bishops who, according to the suit, covered it all up and were completely nonresponsive to the pleas of a seminarian being railroaded by Cdl. Timothy Dolan of New York. And that Brazilain bishop, prior to his unfortunate video display, had been twice reported to the Vatican for theft and having a homosexual lover. Of course, nothing was ever pursued. It's becoming commonplace now in the Church that if you do not have electronic recordings of the actual crime or sin, the bishops investigate themselves and then clear themselves. For example, Bp. Richard Malone of Buffalo is no longer bishop not because he refused to answer questions we and others put to him about his cover-up of sex abuse by Buffalo clergy, but because he was secretly recorded on audio by one of his own priests admitting his scheming. Likewise, in Crookston, Minnesota, Bp. Michael Hoeppner is gone now because he was captured lying on video during a deposition. And while there wasn't specific video or audio evidence with Wuerl, there was a paperwork trail that came to light that proved he too, as Abp. Vigano said, was lying through his teeth. Civil suits, criminal charges or video/audio proof are the only things that the "transparent, always want to dialogue, apologetic" bishop crowd ever respond to because only then is their hand forced. Of course, all this begins with knowledge, meaning the Catholic faithful must first understand precisely who and what they are dealing with: The hierarchy is an international homosexual crime syndicate that destroys anyone and everyone it can to secure its money and cover its active homosexuality. The hierarchy has been aligning itself with the party of death, the communist Democrats, for decades because that party has been funneling them loads of cash every year to help destabilize America. The bishops steal the faithful's money from the collection basket each Sunday and steal it again from their taxes every year. It's quite the racket, in fact. You get zillions of dollars from people you have fooled into thinking you're trustworthy and then you owe an accounting to no one — until you die, of course. And even now, in light of all these revelations, a huge number of Catholics are still in the dark because so few people are actually telling you all this, least of all the Catholic establishment media who also profit from all this evil, however pious they may present themselves in matters strictly theological. Church Militant has been informing you of all this corruption way before it was fashionable. As we learned of the total depravity and depth of the evil the hierarchy engages in, we committed to exposing everything we can because, at the end of the day, it stands as a roadblock to innocent souls flailing about in an ocean of cultural wokeness engineered by the bishops in cooperation with the Marxist Democrats. The bottom line to this Vortex is that knowledge is king. If knowledge were not king, the evil bishops and their cowardly counterparts would not go to such great lengths to deprive you of it. They never reveal anything unless they are forced to by a judge or by other circumstances. What is needed right now is more knowledge on the part of the faithful so that they can spread the word and take action, demand change, look for opportunities to sue these monsters in miters, get the secular press to do stories on them, and just be relentless, pounding, and never stopping — just like the hierarchy has been with you for decades in covering up the truth. In other words, hound these men — but you need the knowledge to do that. That is why Church Militant is excited to announce that beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 7, 2021, we will be expanding our nightly news coverage to now incorporate The Download discussion immediately following it. Secondly, we will be airing this all-new Catholic Info Hour each weeknight from 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. ET. (This is a change from the current 6:30 p.m. ET time where we bring you just Evening News live. Now it will be Evening News and The Download as a full one-hour live presentation beginning at 7 p.m. ET.) The Catholic world needs a single, reliable point of knowledge and information that has no constraints. The staff has been in meetings and planning sessions and deeper discussions for weeks now, and we are getting our final game on by rearranging shifts and personnel responsibilities to bring you the most informative, no-holds-barred, honest, trustworthy news and discussion show in the entire Catholic world. Sorry EWTN, CNA, Register, Relevant Radio, Ave Maria Radio and the like, but the rest of you are just not trustworthy in discussing the current crisis in the Church. You are personally invested in keeping your mouths shut. And, as we have said for years, that's the price you have to pay for your lack of independence. You are too closely tied to the criminals in the hierarchy, and, no matter how you slice it and dice it, you are compromised. Period. There are simply some subjects you are forbidden from covering, but the problem is that it is precisely those subjects that are at the heart of the crisis. The Catholic world needs a single, reliable point of knowledge and information that has no constraints. That, ladies and gentlemen, my fellow faithful Catholics, is the Catholic Info Hour, debuting live on Church Militant on Tuesday, Sept 7, 2021, at 7 p.m. ET. Thank you to all our Premium Members and supporters who make the ever-expanding Church Militant footprint possible. And, for the record, that's six million viewers per month. Thank you, and be sure to mark your calendars for the debut of the Catholic Info Hour.
TRANSCRIPT As you may know, last month Church Militant released a Spotlight Investigation blowing the lid off decades of sexual abuse and cover-up in the breakaway Catholic group, the Society of St. Pius X, also known as the SSPX. The SSPX claimed the liturgical-high ground in the 1970s following the madness unleashed on the Church in the wake of Vatican II. The group's founder, Abp. Marcel Lefebvre, was eventually excommunicated for consecrating four bishops, directly contravening orders from Pope John Paul II to stand down and not do it. He did it anyway, and that initial seedbed of disobedience has now come back in spades on the Society. A cult-like aura developed around the Society — a word, for the record, repeated to us over and over by multiple former followers and priests of the society. In that cultish community, a climate developed where priests were treated as direct messengers of the Most High who could never be questioned, much less challenged. Perhaps the one main reason this kind of evil is able to persist is because of the silence of those who know about it ... the media types who ... will not speak of it. To challenge them was to see yourself shown the door, publicly humiliated, even having your name called out from the pulpit — a practice that still continues today. What keeps the Society and its adherents glued together is their devotion to the Traditional Latin Mass first and foremost. Beyond that, there are many within the Society who believe there is no salvation outside the SSPX, that Rome is apostate, the Novus Ordo Mass is invalid and even further, that it is actually "evil" — that term applied by none other than SSPX Bp. Bernard Fellay — a man whose actions in hiding and moving around abusive priests within the Society gives him a special familiarity with "evil." While most of them are "prudential" in not speaking about all that in the open, it is nonetheless a credal point for many in the Society and its supporters. They see — not without justification — the liturgical and doctrinal insanity in the Church, which both preceded Francis and has grown exponentially on his watch. Again, it's an absolutely correct diagnosis. Church Militant has been reporting on that for years now and taking it on the chops from many in the authentic hierarchy who go out of their way to disparage us and me personally. Undeterred, however, we remain in the Church and press on. So on the matter of diagnosing the disease of modernism in the Church, SSPX followers and Church Militant have shared much in common over the years — so much so that a sizable number of them followed us. But where we must part company is not the diagnosis, but the remedy. Disobedience is never a proper course of action — never. And like the Church-of-Nice crowd who also were disobedient, just in other areas, one wrong first step sets your feet on the path to multiple evils. Hence, there was the cover-up — an ongoing cover-up by the way — of multiple clergy, right up to the present day of heinous sex abuse of minors and breaking up of families, impregnating women and paying hush money. How is this any different from the scandal that rocked the Church in 2002 when the Boston Globe reported in its Spotlight series the same type of thing? The only substantive difference is that more of the Church-of-Nice victims were teenage males. It seems a bit more evenly split in the SSPX abuse cases between homosexual and heterosexual abuse. And speaking of differences, perhaps the one main reason this kind of evil is able to persist is because of the silence of those who know about it, and here, we are speaking on the secondary level — the media types who know of it but will not speak of it. In the Boston Globe scandal, it came out that not only did all sorts of chancery personnel and bishops know of the filth, but so too did a surprising number of Catholic media. And when the news of hompredator cardinal McCarrick broke in 2018, news came tumbling out of the closet that loads of "Catholic media" — who mistakenly think of themselves as journalists — also knew of it, or had heard this and that, but could not go near the story for fear of upsetting their precious self-centered relationships with bishops. So boys and seminarians continued to get raped while they wrote meaningless tomes and flooded Catholic media sites with opinion pieces, waxing eloquently and most importantly hypocritically on one subject after another, racking up speaking fees and book deals and conference appearances. You see, in the "Catholic world," if you tick off either your base or those who grant you access, your goose is cooked. Say the whole truth and the wrath of the establishment falls on your head. In the 'Catholic world,' if you tick off either your base or those who grant you access, your goose is cooked. This brings us to the so-called "traditional" Catholic websites, publications and personalities —you know, the ones always chest-thumping to "unite the clans." That's a load of self-serving, self-promoting garbage. Our Spotlight investigation has been out almost a full month and there hasn't been a peep from any other Catholic media types aside from Tim and David Gordon as well as Patrick Coffin and John Zmirak — just a handful with any remaining integrity. And yes, we say "integrity," because for the so-called trads — more in love with the Traditional Latin Mass than the actual truth — they have completely ignored this story, which by the way has now broken into secular media. They always do. The Kansas City Star this past weekend ran a lengthy exposé on its front page spelling out the entire case in Saint Mary's, and if it were possible — their investigation, as far as Saint Mary's goes — was even more comprehensive than ours, although we did get a mention, thank you. So why is it that when the Church-of-Nice scandals broke, these "trads" couldn't keep their collective mouths shut, using the opportunity to extend their argument to pillory Rome, denounce the Novus Ordo Mass as from the Devil, allowing hundreds of supporters to flood their comboxes calling Pope Francis the Antichrist — and that was on a good day. Yes, sexual assault in the Church of Nice and the "trads" start popping champagne corks, feeling even more superior to all other Catholics, if that's even possible. But the same, exact pattern is proved to be the case in the SSPX and there's stone-cold silence, aside from the filthy comments directed at Church Militant for breaking the story. The so-called "traditional" Catholics spewed forth a degree of venom at us, using "G-D" and even publicly calling Christine Niles the "C-word" on Twitter — yes, you heard that right, and by that we mean actually spelling out the "C-word," not just saying the abbreviation. We've taken incoming rounds for quite a while now, and hands down, we have never received anything like the torrent of filth which came from this crowd of supposedly "traditional" Catholics. We have no idea what tradition they are adhering to, but it certainly is not Catholic. It is disgraceful that this crowd of traditional media types has said not a word about this sex abuse and the cover-up. The 'circle the wagons' and 'damn the torpedoes' approach of the 'trad' community is damning itself, as is evidenced by the severe lack of integrity in their willful unwillingness to engage with the truth. And given the vast knowledge of it, including that Abp. Fellay who led the Society for many years, and his direct, hands-on role in unleashing some of these predator priests, it is an appalling lack of integrity by supposed "journalists" to fall silent just so they cannot have any stain on their narrative that all we need back is the Traditional Latin Mass and all will be fine. That's wrong! That single-minded, naïve approach has always been wrong. It's never been right. The Church fell apart in the 60s when the Latin Mass was the only game in town. Reverent liturgy, and yes, the Latin Mass, is only one piece of the puzzle in restoring the Church. Unfortunately, the cult-like world and mindset that develops around this do little else other than to fuel the heterodox's and dissidents' rantings about how traditional Catholics are a relic from the past and need to be ignored. The "circle the wagons" and "damn the torpedoes" approach of the "trad" community is damning itself, as is evidenced by the severe lack of integrity in their willful unwillingness to engage with the truth. They rightfully tore McCarrick and the whole cover-up of his evil by the likes of Cupich and Wuerl. They tore it to pieces but refuse to utter a word against the exact same behavior in their own house. It is disingenuous, hypocritical and beyond off-putting. This crowd has within its ranks some of the loudest mouths about restoring authentic manhood in Catholic circles. Unfortunately, the manhood they present is more like a "Masters of the Universe" superiority manhood, where they rule and everyone else gets to grovel before them. They comically go on somehow equating scotch and cigars being related to masculinity — as well as the need to "unite the clans" — but they fail to tell you exactly what the clans would be uniting around. Hint: It won't be anything truthful, as long as it upsets their applecart. They are no different than the Church-of-Nice establishment they rightfully lambasted for enabling abuse for decades. In fact, in one way, they are actually worse. The Church-of-Nice crowd never presented itself as superior Catholics — Catholic elites, in many ways. Maybe they'd heard of this filth within the SSPX before, maybe not. But they have now. Until they step up and start reporting on it, they should be dismissed out of hand because they are lying by their silence. Our Lord called out hypocrites and that is Catholic tradition. Hey, self-appointed public trad leaders — here's a question for you: What if it was your child?
TRANSCRIPT On Tuesday, when President Donald Trump went to the Pope John Paul II National Shrine, the religious hypocrites came falling out of the rafters. Chief among them was D.C. archbishop Wilton Gregory. Listen to the raging hypocrisy of a statement he felt compelled to issue in view of the president's visit: "I find it baffling and reprehensible that any Catholic facility would allow itself to be so egregiously misused and manipulated in a fashion that violates our religious principles, which call us to defend the rights of all people, even those with whom we might disagree." What a filthy man to utter those words — he who has spent an entire career so egregiously misusing and manipulating the Church of God to advance sodomy and appeal to falsehoods. A little background on this revolting man is in order. First, he was named as being a homosexual himself by the late Fr. Richard Sipe, who conducted extensive research of the homopredator clergy sex abuse in Church. This would stand to reason since he was consecrated bishop by the satanic homosexual predator archbishop of Chicago Joseph Bernardin. Bernardin, for the record, produced more homosexual bishops in the U.S. hierarchy than you could count, Gregory being one of them. What a filthy man to utter those words — he who has spent an entire career so egregiously misusing and manipulating the Church of God to advance sodomy and appeal to falsehoods. Bernardin's chancery in Chicago was more of a gay bathhouse than a chancery, so he has absolutely zero business talking about misusing and manipulating the Church. He was an avid supporter of starting up the Chicago Archdiocese's AGLO — Archdiocesan Gay and Lesbian Outreach — begun in 1988 while he was an auxiliary bishop there. He carried his gay filth to Atlanta when he became Archbishop there, throwing open wide the doors to all things pro-sodomy, including a blasphemous group called Fortunate Families, which wants nothing to do with chastity or the courage to fight the sin of sodomy. Of course, it's all in keeping with Gregory's m-o. And of course, the spiritual destroyer was tapped last year to move into the role of cover-up artist supreme when he took over the archdiocese of D.C. to conceal all information about the rotten liar Cdl. Donald Wuerl and his predecessor, the homopredator cardinal Theodore McCarrick. Speaking of McCarrick and all these filthy, hellbound members of the hierarchy, two weeks from now will mark two years since the McCarrick revelations and still no report. And there never will be a report — until the Last Day — because this whole gay, Marxist cabal that has used and abused the Church for their rapes, watered-down destruction of the One True Faith, thefts and personal enrichment will keep lying to you until their last breath. They are little else than a bunch of aging, old queens in robes who care nothing for their own souls and certainly not yours. They hate all that is good and professes no authentic belief in God. They hate the authentic Church, which is why they have so disfigured it. They are revolting to behold, but when they open their mouths in the name of religion to damn others, they make the Pharisees look like Doctors of the Church. A perusal of the gospels quickly reveals that Our Lord reserved His just rage for religious leaders who betrayed their high office. He called the hypocritical Pharisees "offspring of the Devil," and "all fair without, but inside full of all manner of corruption" — in short, manipulating and misusing the religion for their own personal gain. The homosexual Gregory owes his appointment to the greedy, selfish Donald Wuerl, who blew tens of thousands of dollars a year traveling back and forth to Rome — that money coming from the foolish Catholics in the pews who still put money in the basket. What a rotten-to-the-core disgrace, who said publicly at the funeral of a gay, hooker priest of his in Pittsburgh, who had extorted him, that the priest was in Heaven, praising his life of service. Yes, whatever, liar. So what kind of man do you imagine Wuerl would pick to replace himself and keep careful watch over the files in chancery that reveal he knew all about McCarrick sexually assaulting seminarians for decades? Who else other than a high-ranking member of the homosexual boys club? [Transcript unavailable] They all hate Trump because Trump has rolled into town and his policies are tearing down the one-world government, one-world religion which bless homosexuality and ignore abortion, and it drives them nuts — almost as nuts as getting an additional run in their pantyhose or not having any fresh meat in the seminary. They have no faith. They have no truth. They have no morals. How could they? They presided over the most filthy era of crime in the Church's history — an international crime syndicate, which destroyed the lives of thousands of teenage boys and then lied about it for decades, shredded documents, spent tens — if not hundreds — of millions of your money on high-powered legal teams, paid out billions in secret settlements, bankrupted two-dozen dioceses, wiped out the faith of tens of millions of Catholics and destroyed the faith of future generations. Their destruction has been so total, so complete, that it boggles the mind. They have supported child murderers and literally delivered Our Blessed Lord Himself — again, literally, into their blood-soaked hands, all to keep favor with the Herods of the day. Does the gay cover-up archbishop have any intention of releasing a statement about the failure of the Vatican to issue its report on McCarrick? Is he really more offended by Trump showing up at the National Shrine than he is about one of his predecessor's accumulated evils being whitewashed? June 20 marks two years since the Summer of Shame kicked off, and Gregory was all part of it. Donald Wuerl, working in conjunction with the scoundrel Blase Cupich of Chicago, managed to engineer an extremely effective cover-up of all their own sins, and in the heart of the Church no less, at the Sex Abuse Summit in Rome in February of 2019. The end result was Donald Wuerl's stated plan that the bishops would investigate themselves. What a load of garbage. Is he really more offended by Trump showing up at the National Shrine than he is about one of his predecessor's accumulated evils being whitewashed? So far, the first bishop in the world to be investigated under the new guidelines, Michael Hoeppner of Crookston, Minnesota — appropriately named diocese for him — is still carrying on scot-free. He was actually caught on tape, lying under oath in a deposition. But somehow what is clear to anyone who watches the video aired by Church Militant, is that it seems baffling to bishops investigating their own. Whatever murky, mysterious inner workings are employed in this process of the bishops investigating themselves, it always amounts to lies and cover-ups, because that's what this crowd does so well. In fact, they don't know how to do anything else but lie — like the old joke, how do you know when a bishop is lying? It's when he's talking. Gregory isn't really all in a dither and clutching his pearls about Trump going to the Shrine. He's lying. His real action here is to seize the moment to pile on Trump and abuse the authority of his office acting all indignant. Meanwhile, the desertion from the Faith continues unabated, the state attorneys general investigations continue unabated, the local RICO investigations continue to unfold, the bankruptcies keep rolling along, the crash in vocations is no longer news, and Gregory and the rest of them are dutifully obeying the orders of the state to allow no more than one person in a parish once every year. But at least all the gay bars will be back open soon, so that ought to bring a smile to their haggard, old faces. Remember, when Gregory rolled into Atlanta as archbishop, he sneakily tried to build a $2 million house for himself until secular media busted him and then he said, "Oh, I didn't realize how it looked," proving he's either a liar or totally out of touch. So much for blessed are the poor. These are whitened sepulchers, indeed. Gregory, owing to all his homosexual connections in the U.S. hierarchy, was president of the Catholic bishops' conference in 2002 when the Boston Globe homopredator scandal broke on the Church. He was instrumental, along with McCarrick, in making sure that bishops remained unaccountable for their sex abuse and cover-up. One day, you're all going to die, and then it will be too late. In all charity, and in a literal sense, we ask, what the Hell is wrong with you?
