Mandatory Reading for Catholics

Posted on November 5, 2018June 9, 2020 by Jeff Cassman

The crisis in the Church is not particular to the homosexual priest and those Bishops who promote and protect them; the larger problem is a corruption of the Church’s doctrine and liturgy that has enabled the perverts.

Among the greatest errors of the modernists is neo-ultramontanism, a heresy which elevates the person of the Bishop of Rome to a “successor of Christ” status, rather than a mere “successor of Peter”.  These ‘Catholics’ see in each Pope a de facto reincarnation of Christ; a Priest and King who is to owed absolute obedience.  This Papolatry has plagued the Church for 40 years and led to the loss of many tens of millions of souls and the confusion of hundreds of millions more.

The following article gets to the heart of the issue:

he chaos that engulfed the Church in the 1960s and 1970s was probably due in large part to rebellion against the tyrannical exercise of authority that had been inflicted on clergy and religious prior to the 1960s. Like other revolutions recorded by bistory, however, this revolt against tyranny did not lead to the triumph of freedom. Instead, it produced a more far-reaching and thorough tyranny, by destroying the elements of the ancien régime that had placed limits on the power of superiors. It did away with the factors listed above that had counteracted the influence of a tyrannical conception of authority in the Counter Reformation Church.

The progressive faction that seized power in seminaries and religious orders had its

Mary, Undoer of Knots

Posted on October 26, 2018June 9, 2020 by Jeff Cassman

I’ve mentioned this novena to Christians who are in need of miracles.  The devotion is based on the unwavering fidelity of Mary and her perfection of the role that Eve failed at.  As St. Iraneus of Lyons wrote in ‘Against Heresies’, Book 3, Chap 22:

the knot of Eve’s disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary. For what the virgin Eve had bound fast through unbelief, this did the virgin Mary set free through faith

There is also a beautiful painting by Johann Georg Schmidtner in St. Peter am Perlach in Augsburg, which depicts the Immaculate Conception and Our Lady untying knots while standing on the serpent, reminiscent of Genesis 3:15:

“I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.”

If you’ve ever asked a fellow sinner to pray for you, why not ask a Saint in heaven?

Novena to Our Lady Undoer of Knots – Day 1

1. Make the sign of the cross

2. Say the Act of Contrition. Ask pardon for your sins and make a firm promise not to commit them again.

Oh my God I am heartily sorry for having offended you. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell. But most of all, because I offended you, oh my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with … Read the rest

Sarah’s Special Keto Cauliflower Bread

Posted on October 7, 2018June 10, 2020 by Jeff Cassman

Sarah’s Keto cauliflower bread has become a staple of my new diet.  This ‘bread’ is physically satisfying and has resulted in a rapid and dramatic reduction of my glucose readings as I’ve substituted it for bread, crackers and pasta.  It leaves me so much more full than a simple slab of meat and a bowl of rabbit food that I now go six or eight hours and still feel full.

Google requires that I now tell you that you may not like this bread, may not improve your blood sugar numbers, may not lose weight, may not feel full, might and may invest more time in preparation than I estimate below.  Some of you will even find a way to hurt yourselves in the kitchen.

After you’ve read the recipe closely and studied the process at length, scroll to the bottom for a few more helpful observations and disclaimers.

Here’s the recipe:

  • One head of cauliflower
  • Two large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar (this is critical)
  • 1/2 mozzarella
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional seasonings.

Here’s the process, which your eight year-old daughter or 12 year-0ld son can handle on their own:

  1.  Start with your large head of cauliflower
  2. Break up the cauliflower into palm-sized portions
  3. Place the cauliflower into your food processor.  You will probably need to do half at a time.
  4. Process the cauliflower until you achieve a rice-like texture.  This is a good activity for a pre-pubescent child who likes loud noises and destroying
