Cullman is a very small town, about an hour north of Birmingham. I have to think that any hospital there, would be limited in what it could do.
If you ever wanted to live anywhere peaceful and quiet, not in the mountains but in rolling hill country, Cullman would be the place.
It sounds lovely, but one has to strike a balance if a choice is available. There was a beautiful area of Maryland where my grandparents said they wanted to retire instead of staying in Queens, NY. When the time actually came, they settled for a small town in Connecticut because of health and mobility issues. In Maryland, the nearest hospital was 35 miles away, and it wasn’t much of a hospital, fine for routine care, uncomplicated broken bones, stitches, appendectomy, tonsillectomy, etc. My grandfather had survived an aneurysm, and was at great risk for another, or fatal stroke or heart attack. The little hospital was not sufficient. The nearest place they could deal with him was Johns Hopkins, at minimum, a three hour drive around Chesapeake Bay. There was NO local shopping, trash disposal, snow removal, yard and home maintenance, other services, not even a gas station! Both were unable to do much physical work. Had they been 20 years younger, it’d have been different, but few people get to retire at 47! With Soc. Security bankrupt (stolen), and the economy crashing, retirement isn’t happening for most of us. The world’s concept of retirement is not Catholic, anyhow.
V-C-R ! Traditional Catholic orders running schools, hospitals, care homes? Ideally, yes, of course. I highly doubt I’ll live to see it. (Okay, Doubting Thomas?). Where are the sisters, brothers, and priests, the religious orders to operate these charities? Flushed down the Conciliar toilet! At present, any such institutions would need to work in secret because they’d be instantly shut down by the communists, Freemasons, tyrants and dictators who’ve been permitted to take over. God is not mocked. He judges and imposes collective punishments on nations and societies who forsake Him and spit in His Face. He doubly punishes those who disrespect His Holy Mother. But, take heart! “He who endures to the end, the same shall be saved. This is the patience of the Saints, of whom the world is not worthy.” (Matt. 24:13, Apoc. 14:12, Heb. 11:38)
If tradcats want to help, assist those among you who are elderly, disabled, alone, no children, no families, or social networks to fall back upon. The Vat.II Church has abandoned Her duties towards the orphans, the elderly, the poor—-especially those who ARE “of the household of the Faith.” (Gal. 6:10) Now, if someone is NOT Catholic, “indigenous,” worships idols, worships Satan, non-Caucasian, speaks an indigenous language, or is a sɛҳuąƖ deviant, it’s another matter! Francis may summon you to dine with him and kiss your feet. It’ll be all over YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, or whatever. He’ll NOT preach the true Gospel to you, rather, you’ll be rewarded with material goods and the praises of men while your soul falls into Hell. Is this harsh? Yes, but it’s true; the kindest way I can put it. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise!
