Thank you to all the priests who have given us good sermons. It has been a long time since we have heard preaching about things such as: specific duties in our family; problems in the modern world - ie, science; the crisis in the SSPX (and we're not actually crazy - these things really are going on); using quotes from the Church Fathers, saints, etc.; and ways to remedy or deal with those things.
I can't say how much we missed those SERMONS over the years, and it's not something I would easily give up.
THANK YOU TO THE PRIEST FOR GOOD SERMONS!
Yes, ditto to all that. Thank you to all the priests who have given us good sermons.
I concur. The sermons are great. And it's doing a lot of good.
Imagine, when not all that long ago, there were sermons like this all
over the world, before Vatican II, that is!
But it's having an effect on more than just the Faithful who hear them.
it seems to be having an effect on the other priests, too. For how can
independent priests, who have been somewhat isolated in their
missionary work as if they are trying to evangelize a pagan country in
the midst of thousands of Catholic parishes all over the place. You
have to think, they have a tough row to hoe.
But when they watch a YouTube video of Fr. Pfeiffer, they suddenly
realize that here is a new standard of excellence.. Fr. Pfeiffer has
single-handedly raised the bar! And the effect has been that other
preachers, that is, priests preaching, have something to "catch up to."
He is leading by example, and he knows that he is leading by example,
because he SAYS he is "leading by example." Quote-unquote, thank
you very much.
I will give you one example among many.
This past Sunday, Msgr. Perez took the occasion of Septuagesima to
say a few words about the modern trend for violent shootings at
childrens' schools. I won't go into a lot of detail, but I would like to say
that he seemed to be a little more animated than usual, and he's
usually pretty animated.
He mentioned how the current occupant of the W.H., BO, held a press
conference wherein he had some small schoolchildren standing about
him, to whom he referred as having written him letters complaining
that they are afraid. He is using them like he is using the deaths of the
innocent victims as a photo-op to promote his Communist Confiscation
of Guns. Now these children are not from schools where there has
been any such violence. So they have, objectively, nothing to do with
the problem personally, except for ONE REASON, and that one reason
is the one that neither BO nor any of his liberal or worse ilk will EVER
acknowledge, because it is their liberalism or worse, that is the root
cause of the violence. They are
subject personally to his
propaganda, is ALL IT IS.And he gave a short list of the categories he thought were exemplary:
~ 1.... EVOLUTION - it's taught in all the public schools (it's not taught
in most of the Protestant schools, much to their credit), and while there
is precisely ZERO EVIDENCE of any essential aspect of this false
hypothesis yet to be found, the so-called scientists who continue to
promote it do so with a zeal second to none, and they persist in
mistaking it for a "theory," which is clearly is NOT. It scandalizes these
little ones who would believe in Our Lord (cf. Matt xviii. 6), and drags
their minds down into the abyss of ignorance as if by a millstone
necklace. This is not education, it is corruption. Woe to them who
dare teach children evolution! They are taught to believe that they,
and all people by extension, are nothing more than a puddle of MUCK
by lightening bolt STRUCK, and so why is anyone surprised to see
them without any awareness of the infinite value of the human soul,
the soul of a person?
~ 2.... Environmentalism - it's another pet project of the liberals, or
worse, that teaches children that one of two things are gonna happen,
depending on which model suits their whims day to day, either it's
global warming or it's global cooling. You never know with these liars.
Either the world is doomed to become a barren wasteland or it's
doomed to become overrun by the sea after the icecaps all melt.
Never mind that God has revealed that the world will be burnt up by
FIRE in the end. Why never mind? Because the environmentalists
have made of their agenda a false god, and they don't need the real
God anymore, or so they would lead you to believe. That is, they
would lead you to DISBELIEVE in the value of a single person's eternal
soul.
~ 3.... Secularization - perhaps the liberals' primary doctrine, including
the so-called separation of church and state, by which God is
removed from all walks of public life, when in fact the
opposite is
our
foremost responsibility. Is it any wonder children are growing up
confused? They don't know that there is nothing more important than
the sanctification of their soul, by which they are saved in eternity,
even if they are suddenly killed by some aberrant violence. And in so
teaching these innocent victims these lies, they teach them there is no
value in a human soul, for whom Our Lord would have suffered his
entire passion, even for the salvation of one soul.
~ 4.... Abortion - another false god in the Modern Pantheon of false
religions, there have been now one billion, three hundred million
(1,300,000,000) child killings since 1980, a far cry from all the deaths
by all the guns shooting bullets since the advent of guns shooting
bullets. And while the tragedy and the pain of the affected families is
not to be disregarded, for it is terrible and they deserve our Christian
charity, nonetheless, it is ludicrous to bemoan the shooting deaths of
30 while AT THE SAME TIME these liberal (and worse) LIARS PROMOTE
THE CONTINUED SLAUGHTER OF OUR PREBORN INFANT SOULS the
eternal value of which is thus denied by implication.
All of this liberal-and-worse indoctrination of the DENIAL OF THE
IMMORTAL SOUL OF MAN has its consequences. And ONE of them is
school shootings. THERE ARE OTHER consequences too, and we may
be on the brink of finding out what those may be, and may God have
mercy on our souls.
Like I said, I'm not going into a lot of details. You can read this in 4
minutes, whereas the sermon was 25 minutes.
Good things are happening, thanks to the good sermons.
