I'm glad to hear that. Little things matter.

John Henry!!! Too long! You are the funniest guy on substack (except, of course, me).

You had one monster post I still chuckle at.

Hi John! Thanks. I hope all is well with you.

Always! I had big sign COREDEMPTRIX AND MEDIATRIX OF ALL GRACES Outside, on sidewalk ( like abortion center days) at Austin Diocese service pretending they were doing Chrism Mass.

A lot of people including Vatican II priests gave me thumbs up.

Father Cekada rip would say you have to have a Catholic Mass, by a real Pope

Will Prevost give a nod to pachamama in this freemasonic, proddy service?

Can we storm Heaven with prayers, do we dare hope that modernism ends with this pope returning to Tradition?

Ms. Montagna isn’t just reporting—she’s twisting, as usual.

If Pope Leo XIV washes the feet of priests, she calls it “a return to tradition.”

If Pope Francis washed the feet of prisoners or migrants, she treats it like something wrong.

That’s the trick.

The Church allows both.

There’s no “correction,” no “going back”—just different ways of living the same Gospel.

But she needs it to look like a fight.

So she turns a simple liturgical gesture into a story of winners and losers.

What a shame.

Bishop Sanborn talked on this. Non clergy aren't allowed, certainly non Catholic laity. (Assuming we are in normal times)

What nonsense! Christ washed the feet of His Apostles alone, not of all His disciples. This was an institution of the Holy Priesthood not a foot washing service. If Christ wanted to be inclusive of everyone, He would because He could. This was His action. Pope Francis was the one to twist it, for his own reasons. May God have mercy on his soul.

I liked the humility of a pope washing the feet of a pope in prison. My 2

I hope he is given support for this course correction, where it matters. Remember the truth that our sacraments are entirely valid even if given by the worst priest sinner, as long as he gives them in union with the Church’s intention. When St Francis traveled to the home of one scandalous, adulterous priest in town, he kissed his hands. Imagine how that brought him to repentance.

It does not matter how much Cardinal Prevosr appears to be the pope he who does not recieve the graces of Jesus' prayer because he was not validly elected.
