I don’t have the bandwidth today to cover the “Bishops: Enough is Enough” rally next door to the bishops’ meeting. But I went over on the lunch break, and here’s some things I saw.
Some protestors outside the event:
The chant in this last video is:

Fascist hate will make us straight.

Some years ago, a relative -- who had stopped going to Mass -- explained to my dad that he didn't attend the large suburban parish up-the-street because, he said, he "didn't want to be a f*cking butterfly."
My dad wasn't quite sure what this relative meant, until he attended the parish, and saw himself the effete undertones to much of what passed for spirituality there.

and truthfully, I don't think my dad had much of an answer about the parish either.
I raise this for obvious reasons.

Trump did better among women than most pundits predicted, but he also carried a lot of first time male voters under 30. Young men who felt the president spoke to them -- and that much of the current rhetoric of the left was not for them at all.

@lukei4655 He can get an insult of departure. Since the Church permits departure from solemn vows, are you sure about this?
@lukei4655 If Holy Mother Church gives you an indult, I have a hard time with the idea that availing yourself of it puts you in grave danger.
@lukei4655 The theoretical question of dispensation is interesting, but obviously wants the Church grants is an indult, and she has the authority to grant that.

Departing by abandonment is spiritually different from departing with the aprobatio of holy mother church.

Purely from a business perspective, I think one mistake of Church Militant was to significantly build up their operation in the post-McCarrick Catholic media boom.

I suspect they imagined 2018-2019 eyeballs and dollars would last forever.

That left them with a big monthly spend
And then, building a “rage-audience” is also probably short-sighted, from a business perspective, because rage is exhausting so you wear through your audience
Then, of course, defaming a guy…

It appears that the Church Militant website has settled its defamation lawsuit with a financial settlement and apology to a New Hampshire priest:

churchmilitant.com/news/article/s…
the apology admitted that the Church Militant lawsuit allowed disgraced canon lawyer Marc Baliesteri write an anonymous news report about a situation in which he was entangled, in which he made unsubstantiable claims about the NH priest, citing anonymous sources.
On the same day, Church Militant announced that it will liquidate the stock of its Catholic goods online shop, with a 50% off sale: Image

Here's the latest on the Church Militant defamation lawsuit.

Michael Voris has until Jan 24 at 4:30 pm to present a lawyer to the court. If he doesn't, the judge will rule in favor of the plaintiff by default. Original deadline was 1/16/24, but judge gave an extension.
Church Militant itself has presented a lawyer, so the judgment would be against Voris in favor of the plaintiff, along with Church Militant staffer Anita Carey.
Here's the court's entry in the federal docket report: Image

Here's something: It should be obvious that the curriculum of a Catholic school is drawn from the rich patrimony of Christian history.

Why should I want my children to get anything less than the fullness of the faith, and the fruit of the cultures formed in it?
When a music teacher picks a secular song instead of a piece of music with Christian meaning and identity, my kid is getting cheated.

When art is not as framed as creation of the beautiful, he's getting robbed.
paying for public school + catechesis, and some virtues on the wall, is a complete and total waste of money.

And it's a waste of energy and time for parishes.
