    Though the majority, I am sure, here on Cathinfo has nothing to do with the Super Bowels, I am under the impression that a number of Trads probably still observe it. With how much folks love their sports, it seems reasonable to presume this, no?

    Does anyone here share this opinion?


    The article touches upon this particular point as well:

    Quote
    What is particularly sad, of course, is to see traditionally-minded Catholics across the ecclesiastical divide “get through” with their obligation as early as possible on Sundays so that they could have the rest of the day “free” to sit in front of television screens and endure blathering, mindless idiots demonstrating their utter ignorance of future events while wallowing in video clip after video clip to dissect past games and plays and game plans that no rational, sane human being has any need to waste his time considering, no less any part of nine full hours.

    Moreover, many of these traditionally-minded Catholics think nothing of the immodesty and indecency of speech and attire shown in the pre-game and game telecasts, thinking nothing of how an aggressive promoter of blasphemy and lewdness and obscenity, the FOX television network, which is, after all, owned by a thirty-third Mason (and a “papally”-knighted one at that, thanks be to Roger “Cardinal” Mahony and Karol Wojtyla/John Paul II) named Rupert Murdoch, promotes its insidious throughout the course of the day of the “big game,” caring little for how the virtues of Modesty and Chastity are offended by the proliferation of “rock music” and commercials that specialize in the salacious.


    There are other Catholics who will fulfil the "Sunday Obligation" by attending Saturday Mass, just so they can watch the Super Bowl and engage in gluttony and excess. This thanks to the indult granted universally by Paul VI.
    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

    I would like to thank these contributors to CI in this thread for giving a few words that you just won't find in most places on the Internet or in public generally speaking, regarding that despicable "Ga-ga" woman and immorality in entertainment in general.

    She continues to scandalize children whenever she gets the chance, and Our Lord said that people like her would be BETTER OFF with a millstone tied about their neck and cast into the sea.  Since that isn't likely to happen to her, one may well shudder at the thought of what will LIKELY happen to her, eventually.


    She was actually raised Catholic, Novus Ordo of course.

    Had Vatican II never happened, she probably wouldn't have turned out the way she did.


    The article describes her as a "creature (it is very good the author did not choose the word "woman" which she is not and would have actually been offensive) who goes by the name of “Lady Gaga,” who, from what I can discern, is about as disgusting a human being as can be found on the face of this earth at this time".  

    Yes, I agree. That description sounds about right.

  • I watched it. It was an incredibly exciting game, one for the history books.

    I like that the Patriots won, since Tom Brady endorsed Trump.
    Brady also prayed immediately after winning.

    Also, God seemed to have put some sort of divine restraint on Lady Gaga because she gave a normal show. Weird.

    I am afraid at the Parish near me they seen to take Sunday off and instead
    were home or at the town bar in the Super Bowl Festivities.  There was
    no Mass. No Priest.

    You think God approves of modern sports, especially since they play the finals on Sundays, which is supposed to be the day dedicated to Himself?

    Seems to me that sports have overtaken the true Mass and now people give sports more importance than God, what with "praying" for having won and all.

    Normal? It was still obscene and abominable on all levels.

  • A news broadcast showed a breakdown before the game saying Republicans favor the Patriots and Democrats favor the Falcons. They said Donald Trump was rooting for the Patriots. What football has to do with politics is anyone's guess. However............

    The Falcons were favored to win by wagers, so a local radio show suggested that even though the Patriots got the official victory, kind of like the electoral college majority for President, the protesters can start whining that the Falcons won the "popular vote."  :reporter:

    So the Democrats lose again.  :cry:

    I did not watch it. I'm reposting someone's else description of Gaga's show. Alarmingly, many people did not see anything wrong with it nor found anything political or offensive. There were even some Catholics praising and thanking her! Personally, her mere presence is too revolting for me to even see. I know that there were also commercials during the Super Bowl advocating the transgender revolution.  :barf:

    Quote
    I do not follow Gaga. I did not know her lyrics were so terrible.Sad this is what is  people, especially kids, are listening to.

    Taken from the fb post of...:

    "Let me get this straight:

    So Gaga is standing above all. On the highest point, above all creation in that stadium. Can't get any higher. Stars are lighting up behind her and as the stars are illuminating in the sky she sings about “god” and this nation is made for “you and me”...... THEN...

    She falls from the highest point, from the stars, to the second high point….. with the first words out of her mouth being,

    “Im on the Edge of Glory”.....

    Does any of that sound familiar? What scene was just played out? Anyone.....

    Here Let me help……

    "How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
    How you are cut down to the ground, you who weaken the nations!
    For you have said in your heart,
    “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also on the mount of the congregation, in the recesses of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.”

    Notice…. Nations. stars. Above the congregation (above the stadium of people).... fell from grace (she fell and is on the edge of Glory)……

    While we are all hypnotized by the light, glamor, sound we are singing and children are hearing....

    “I want your love, you vertical stick”

    and lyrics like….

    “I'm beautiful in my way
    'Cause God makes no mistakes;
    Im on the right track baby I was born this way.
    No matter gαy, straight, or bi
    Lesbian, transgendered life I'm on the right track baby I was born this way”


    Complete blasphemy of Gods creation, defaming and devaluing the Holyness of the father And who does that? Lucifer. He twist the words of God ALWAYS and makes himself look good and God bad.

    Did the Lord not tell us “For even Lucifer diguises himself as an angel of light” -2 Corinthians 11:14

    Lucifer is the god of this world. He creates all the time reminders about his presence and control over you very frequently. Because most don’t know Gods word they do not recognize it.

    Lady Gaga is not a Christian. She practices many satanic things and because of that her thoughts and ideas come from the fallen kingdom…not the Lords. We just saw Satans fall in theatric form and the entire world clapped and for him and his blasphemy…. READ THE BOOK AND OPEN YOUR KINGDOM EYES."
    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

  • We have been boycotting the NFL .   We had to watch the Patriots play in the Super Bowl. Tom Brady was singing  the National Anthem which was impressive.
    When half time came on, most of us turned off the TV and prayed the Rosary.  
    I'm sure it helped the Patriots win!  
    May God bless you and keep you

    How can you boycott the NFL and pray for one of the teams to win at the same time?

    Also, why would you ever pray for a NFL team to win to begin with?
