  • Editor Michael Cain kicks off the one-two punch against the ABC television presentation 'Judas' by asking where are all the Mel Gibson-bashers in taking this pathetic Paulist production to task for anti-Semitism and just plain bad script and acting. Their silence says volumes as Cain syllogizes in his editorial No one said God doesn't allow junk!
        
  • Gabriel Garnica follows with the K.O. by smashing the glass jaw of the politically correct pundits who prefer the garbage of light-weight productions like 'Judas' to something the caliber of 'The Passion of The Christ.' No wonder Hollywood doesn't have a clue. Gabriel explains in his column A "Kinder, Gentler" Passion: ABC's Judas
  • Martin Grove, business contributor to The Hollywood Reporter lays out so clearly why the box-office buzz and biz of 'The Passion of The Christ' shouldn't slow down anytime soon. He lists the possibilities that lie ahead for Mel and millions and millions of Christians in his column After 'Passion,' no need for Gibson to work again

    NOTE:We now resume with the 62 reasons why one cannot in good faith attend the Novus Ordo service, as we pick up with reason number 56:

        Because Pope Paul VI, when promulgating the New Mass, himself declared. "The rite ... by itself is NOT a dogmatic definition ..." (11/19/69)
    So there you have the enabler of the synthetic service admitting that no one has to follow his 'wish' for it is NOT A DOGMATIC DEFINITION, but merely a pastoral recommendation - a very, ill-advised and , as we have seen over the past 35 years, fated and tragic direction, but nevertheless, holding no binding decree. Notice the difference here, folks? One, the Dogmatic infallible Council of Trent decrees demand that we adhere, whereas the pastoral-only documents and proclamations of and since Vatican II only make the suggestion. Which are you going to heed when it comes to your eternal salvation? One that is definite and absolute and carries with it the weight of the Holy Ghost and the wrath of God if disobeyed, or pleasing men just so everyone can get along in the spirit of the humanistic 'unity of community'? The answer is obvious but not to those blind ostriches who still have their stubborn heads stuck in the sands of the Novus Ordo. Wake up, my friends, before you are washed away in total apostasy. As we have been emphasizing over the past several years, Pope St. Pius V set in stone the everlasting celebret - a perpetual indult. No Bishop, no priest and no Pope can override that. PERIOD! To do so is to go against the Holy Catholic Church! We all know the Pope and the Bishops have done just that by denying the Traditional Latin Mass except on their terms and only if one accepts the synthetic New Order liturgy which has so defiled the true meaning of the Holy Sacrifice. Yet the church of Vatican II, the ecumaniacal hierarchy, like all in the curia including the one who appoints them - the Pope himself - are afraid to 'go public' with this vital truth so the people will know. Instead Catholics are told that a Latin Mass can only be said with the permission of the Bishop (Fat chance!) or a celebret from the Ecclesia Dei Commission, which, in fact, is illegal and unnecessary because of the perpetual celebret issued by St. Pius V that every priest for all time must say the unchangeable Mass of All Ages in the Mother tongue of the Church. The truth is the Pope and Bishops fear that were this knowledge acknowledged, there would be rightfully so a mass exodus from the Novus Ordo, not only by the laity but many priests. We can only pray that this will become more manifest as discussion continues over Gibson's film and his own beliefs which embrace all that was taught before Vatican II. This very coverup of the True Mass was outlined quite clearly by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (They Have Uncrowned Him and Open Letter to Confused Catholics), Atila Sinke Guimarães, (The Murky Waters of Vatican II, Animus Delendi I and II) Romano Amerio (Iota Unum), Fr. Ralph Wiltgen (The Rhine Flows into the Tiber) and Father James Wathen in his irrefutable masterpiece The Great Sacrilege. They all document that the Traditional Latin Mass alone provides the divinely ordained formula for true vertical worship of the Triune Divinity. Every Catholic has a moral obligation to abandon the new false religion and return to the True tenets and practices of the Church as practiced from St. Peter through Pope Pius XII. Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani and Cardinal Antonio Bacci back on September 25, 1969 could see this all coming and warned of this in The Ottaviani Intervention As we know no Pope since Pius XII has listened to the wisdom of Holy Mother Church and for this stubborn, prideful promotion of the church of Vatican II have indeed "incurred the wrath of God and the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul." This is the fifty-sixth of 62 reasons submitted by the Priests of Campos on Easter Sunday 1982 and endorsed by the late great Bishop Antonio de Castro Mayer.
    Conversely in the
    True Holy Mass of All Ages:


        No prayers offered for thy friends will be as efficacious as a single Holy Sacrifice of the Mass heard and offered on their behalf.
    This is the seventy-first of 77 Graces derived from participation at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass - the Mass of All Ages - the Latin Mass of the Roman Rite which was decreed to be said "in perpetuity" by Pope Saint Pius V in codifying the infallible decrees of the dogmatic Council of Trent. These graces are taken from Father Martin von Cochem's Explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with an imprimatur by New York's Archbishop Michael Augustin on June 24, 1818 during the Pontificate of Pope Pius VII.

    PAPAL PROOF OF WHAT THE CHURCH TRULY TEACHES
      For those who truly want to delve deeper into what the Faith teaches and what past Sovereign Pontiffs have decreed, we recommend for your vital reading to better KNOW THE FAITH in order to KEEP THE FAITH, pertinent Papal decrees which put to the lie what is being promulgated today by the Vatican II church. We strongly encourage you to read these to understand how today the modern church is in Apostasy when compared to what had always been taught by Holy Mother Church and enforced and warned as most grievous by previous Pontiffs as you'll see in CREDO & CULTURE


    Pray for John Paul II that he will awake from the devastating 40-year slumber and return Holy Mother Church to its rightful place as the true Mystical Body of Christ and consecrate Russia to Mary's Immaculate Heart.

    Catholic PewPOINT
    Editor Michael Cain recovers from a brief bout with the flu to ask incredulously where was the outrage of anti-Semitism from men like Abe Foxman, Rabbis Marvin Hier and Schmuley Boteach, or The New York Times hate-monger Frank Rich over the blatant stereo-typing of the Jewish conniver in the already-forgotten flick this past Monday night on ABC. The fact that there has been a deafening silence from the Gibson-bashers speaks volumes as to the ADL's and other anti-Catholic agents' agenda. It has nothing to do with anti-Semitism or anti-violence, but everything to do with hitting too close to home with their own consciences. Cain shows how the pabulum of 'Judas' had already grown cold and stale before the first commercial as he explains in his one-day-late editorial No one said God doesn't allow junk!
    Gabriel's Clarion
    Gabriel Garnica sounds the clarion and many wish he had done so before Monday night to save them from wasting two hours watching a politically-correct puff piece that only exposed the Paulist Father's neo-Catholic bent of universal salvation where hell is empty. This was a project first dreamt up by Fr.Elwood "Bud" Keiser who passed away in October of 2000. It was his dream to see his pet project 'Judas' become a reality. As Gabriel relates, it was really a nightmare for everyone watching. Such is the caliber of garbage Hollywood passes off as entertainment. No thanks, says Gabriel, he'll take Mel Gibson's version anytime. According to the ratings, so did most of America. Gabriel details the sad effort in his column A "Kinder, Gentler" Passion: ABC's Judas.
    Hope on the Horizon
    Martin Grove, contributing editor to The Hollywood Reporter weighs in with an insightful article that proves 'The Passion of The Christ' is not going to slow down anytime soon but gain even more legs to the chagrin of most liberals in Hollywood. Grove pinpoints the markets and shows the possibilities that Europe could double the phenomenal turn-out so far in the U.S. It would almost seem as a competition. American movie-goers vs. European film fans. Who will win at the box office? Grove shows quite clearly that Mel Gibson is the ultimate winner who shouldn't have to worry about ever having to disseminate his resume around tinsel town anymore. After 'Passion,' no need for Gibson to work again

    Tuesday and Wednesday:
    "Feed My Sheep"
    We get down to brass tacks by letting America and the world know of the scandal occurring in the Big Apple and what the motives are. They are not good! We show how this is all the result of the barren fruits of Vatican II and now it's time to say 'Enough!' We provide the plight of the desperate faithful parishioners of St. Ann's beautiful church on East 12th Street in New York which Egan wants to sell to pay off hush money for the sins of sodomite clergy. Egan is only compounding one sin upon another and the worst part is that those who will suffer the most are the Poor Souls in Purgatory for St. Ann's is one of only five churches in the U.S. given a Papal Indult for a plenary indulgence for the Church Suffering. It's time for this total sacking of the Faith to stop as we illustrate in The Scarlet Sell-out of Souls!
    HOT ISSUES
    Robert A. Sungenis, M.A., President of Catholic Apologetics International at www.catholicintl.com, and undoubtedly one of the leading Catholic Apologists in Traditional circles today, delved into why sodomy has slithered so stealthily into the modern church of Vatican II. He uncovered the portal of entry through the gaping ambiguous loopholes that have made it so easy for the National Catholic Reporter to announce to the world that they condone Homosexual Marriages with few even raising an eyebrow. Why? Could it be because the USCCB and Vatican aren't as concerned as they should be? And could it be that it is all part of the agenda of ambiguous documents which prompt the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments to be wishy-washy in something in which he must in his position be absolute? The fact is there is no longer any discipline! Bob revealed the loopholes that have created such a sordid situation in his commentary Is the Closet Now Empty?.
    Hope on the Horizon
    Joseph Farah, editor and executive chief officer of WorldNetDaily.com railed in his 'Between the Lines" commentary on the Hollywood Industry for their shameful posthumous inclusion of Adolf Hitler's filmmaker-propagandist Leni Riefenstahl who died this past year. She was included with such American icons as Bob Hope and Gregory Peck. Horrors. And that should have been Hollywood's reaction. But the silence, as Joe pointed out, has been deafening including the ADL head Abe Foxman. Evidently Foxman has been too busy chasing anti-Semitism ghosts in scaring up horror stories about Mel Gibson that he couldn't identify a real anti-Semite in Riefenstahl, nor could the rest of the hypocrites in Hollywood who have rationalized their way around it as no big thing. Joe pointed out the morally corrupt thinking of these culture crafters in his WND column Hollywood honors a Nazi

    Monday:
    Gabriel's Clarion
    Gabriel Garnica donned his barrister robes to sort out all the hubbub Mel Gibson's little movie must be stirring up. Gabriel dusted off his briefs and began preparing his schedule for the countless depositions that will need to be taken by various representatives from carpenters to pilots, Italians to Contractors, herpetologists to hypocrites all lining up to sue for surely they too have been offended by Mel's film. With tongue planted squarely in cheek, Gabriel had some fun at the expense of the whiners and moaners who have accused Gibson of anti-Semitism. Gabriel pointed out that it might just be the tip of the proverbial idiots'iceberg that is melting mighty fast from the heat of the public's overwhelming acceptance of 'The Passion of The Christ' in his column Lawsuits Pending!
    Vox Populi
    We presented the third wave of testimonies from readers sent to us with seven more heartfelt affirmations of how it affected each person's heart. As we said in the teaser above, we've heard from most of the liberal 'Scribes and Pharisees' who are ruing the fact Mel's movie is headed for all-time records. Maybe they do need to add a little salt and pepper to their stewed crow. Now it was time to continue hearing from you. Thus we published more feedback from our readers on their take on 'The Passion of The Christ', including comments sent in by a reader from Paul Harvey in this feature we call the voice of the people, which, translated into Latin, is Vox Populi Part Two.
    Hope on the Horizon
    Laura Ingraham, host of a nationally syndicated radio show and author of Shut up and Sing: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the UN are Subverting America, weighed in with how deep Hollywood has dug themselves into the sand, burrowing in frustration over Mel Gibson's phenomenal success. While so many had it as their intention to expose and discredit Mel, they have only succeeded in exposing and discrediting themselves which says volumes as Laura pointed out in her Townhall column Hollywood Heads in the Sand

    SUNDAY:
    "Qui legit, intelligat"
    In Father Louis Campbell's sermon for the Second Sunday of Lent, he put to prose the poem of the Discipline of the Disciple as encouragement for all to stay the course and exercise with the disciplines of penance, prayer, fasting and almsgiving during this time set aside for spiritual aerobics so that our souls, encased in the protective shell of sanctifying grace may be ever more protected from the ravages of the world, the flesh and the devil. Father shared his sonnet towards sanctity on the same Sunday when we heard from the Almighty Father the assuring, affirming words recorded in Matthew 17: 5, which should refresh us all the more: "This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased. Hear ye Him." Father painted the picture in his simple, but inspiring and absolute aria The Discipline of the Disciple
    Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi
    In the first part of our new "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi" series introduced this past Wednesday by Kevin M. Tierney and Jacob Michael, they brokedown the significance of the Propers of Ash Wednesday by comparing the Traditional Latin Propers that the Church, in her infinite wisdom, had set so rigidly in place and passed down through the ages, and the rite which shunned all that wisdom and set out on its own to redefine the Mass on a horizontal, humanistic plane. Kevin and Jacob showed the obvious omissions in the Novus Ordo and how the deliberate ambiguity contributes much to the loss of Faith and reverence, true Catholic commitment for how one prays is how one believes. They deciphered the words in explaining The Disciplines of Lent: Ash Wednesday
    Hope on the Horizon
    Ann Coulter, a very agitating and necessary thorn in the side of liberals and progressivists, used her sharp wit and logic to expose the absurdity of the liberal pundits at The New York Times who represent the narrow, moronic thinking of those who can't think for themselves. This author of Treason and Dereliction of Duty: the Case Against Bill Clinton knows how the movers and shakers of the liberal regime reason and she takes great delight in lampooning their idiocy, especially as they fall all over themselves trying to find reasons to damn Mel Gibson's amazing film and equally astounding response by the public. She took target practice at these dunces in her most recent Townhall column The passion of the liberal

    Saturday:
    Gabriel's Clarion
    Gabriel Garnica clearly illustrated how the Beam of the Holy Cross has beamed in on very different eyes leaving no sliver of doubt as to the purpose of those who hate Christ and all He represents. Gabriel pointed out that each person visually sees through their eyes, but to really comprehend the will of God each of us needs to see through the eyes of our soul which mirrors God's Eye and His plan for each of us. The Eye of God is reflected in the Eye of the renowned Mother of Perpetual Help Icon, the very eye Mel Gibson chose as the symbol for his film company Icon Films. Yet, Gabriel revealed there are two other eyes who are trying to blind the public. Never mind that these two other "Eyes" have so many beams in their own corrupted corneas, to them it doesn't matter that they have been responsible for the damnation of so many pupils of pulp fiction. That is the way evil sees and conquers. But God knows all and sees all and that is the key as Gabriel explained in his column An Eye for all eyes
    Shears and Tears of a Lamb
    Catharine Lamb took a break from her series on the Saints of the Canon to rail against the spineless bishops who have remained virtually silent about the sinfulness of Senator John Kerry. This is a great scandal and those who slumber in sin are in for a rude awakening. Kerry is already on record as promoting sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance. Catharine emphasized that just denying him Communion is nothing but a slight slap on the wrist. What they need to do for the sake of souls, especially their own, is play hardball with these politicians - especially Kerry. Just as Martha Stewart was convicted in order to send a message to all executives, so also Kerry needs to officially be convicted or his sins will be shared by those who are supposed to be the shepherds. The flock is scattering and they don't seem to care. They're not going to keep pulling the wool over the eyes of the sheep too much longer for the bellkeeper is mounting the tower and soon the bell will toll as Catharine warned in her column Wake Up! It's Mourning Time!
    Hope on the Horizon
    Brent Bozell, President of Media Research Center, and a vigilant watchdog of print and broadcast media exposed the critics who are being swamped by a backlash of "we don't care what you think" public swarming to see 'The Passion'. He pointed out the absurdity of these critics who Brent has caught in their own hypocrisy over past reviews of past violent films and the profane 'Last Temptation of Christ' flick. Critics may have loved it, but the public hated it and it bombed. Gotta love it! Brent asserted, that "Films like Gibson's 'Passion' remind us that film critics see themselves as far more than advice columnists. They view themselves as the (don't laugh) moral arbiters of the popular culture. But in the case of 'The Passion,' the harshest critics are dead wrong, and every day's tidal wave of tickets washes away their disbelieving, deconstructing attempts to ruin its powerful effect on American hearts and minds." Brent detailed in his Townhall column Flustered film critics and 'The Passion'

    Friday:
    Symphony of Suffering
    Cyndi Cain, who has shied away from writing most of the time in order to be the prayer pillar of this publication, took some time to share with readers her special thoughts on 'The Passion of The Christ,' wherein she could relate with the sorrows the Blessed Mother was going through and understand the thoughts of Our Lady for she had long pondered them in her heart as St. Luke affirms. In truth, Mel Gibson's film was a 'Symphony of Suffering' that, orchestrated in the open hearts of countless souls, will strike the chord of grace and timbre forth conversion of hearts and lives in doing "whatever He tells you to do." Cyndi shared her thoughts and impressions of how it has reinforced her own redemptive suffering for souls. Yes, it is all worth it, she assured in A Mother's Passion
    "Quid dicit Scriptura?"
    Friday we brought you the eagerly anticipated second installment by Jacob Michael on the Mother of God's specific mission as Mediatrix of all graces and the Wedding Feast at Cana, where he clearly showed through both the Old and New Testament, the intrinsic link between Mother and Son in Redemption. The water turned into wine and the water and wine confected into the Body and Blood of Christ, Soul and Divinity, is a fulfillment of the Old Covenant and an everlasting testament to Christ's Passion and Death carried out forever in the New Covenant through re-enactment of that same Sacrifice in an unbloody manner at every Traditional Latin Mass. Jacob showed how both holy Evangelists John and Luke made the connection of Cana to Calvary so clear in his second part of his series The Mediatrix at the Wedding in Cana
    Hope on the Horizon
    We introduced Friday a new feature that we will bring you as often as possible and that is linking you to outstanding columns by conservative columnists in the secular sector when their words mirror Traditional Catholic values. Such was the case of an article by national syndicated columnist David Limbaugh, author of "Persecution. How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianity" who shared the wisdom of the most esteemed Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen that "Every other person who ever came into this world came into it to live. (Christ) came into it to die ... the Cross was there from the beginning, and it cast its shadow backward to His birth." Limbaugh pointed out it is not about who killed Christ, it is about what we will do with this short life we have in order to live with Him forever. "The Passion," Part III

    Thursday:
    Gabriel's Clarion
    Gabriel Garnica sounded the clarion loud and clear as to the incomparable excellence of 'The Passion of The Christ'. It is not a movie, it is an experience, a meditation that engulfs you in love and mercy. Those who know and love Christ do not see the blood, they see the redemptive love. They do not see the hate of the Sanhedrin or the mobs, they see the love of forgiveness from the Cross. They do not see the grime and dirt, but the fertile soil of Faith. In sharing two unforgettable scenes, Gabriel pointed to a brief flashback scene in the tranquil home of Nazareth where Jesus is fashioning a wooden table. The height puzzles Our Lady and Our Lord points and demonstrates how it will work with an imaginary chair. Our Lady mimics Him in such motherly love and sport, quipping "It will never catch on." It was a lighter moment that said volumes about the Light of the world and the Mother who ignited that Eternal Flame through her total fiat. What else could this film then be, but A Masterpiece!
    A Chronicle of Catholic Tradition
    The ninth chapter of our series on the history of Holy Mother Church and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass dealt with the eleven holy pontiffs who guided Holy Mother Church through the Second Century, a century known for the Christian Apologists, those learned men who staunchly defended the faith in their writings and preachings, refuting the unfounded calumnies uttered by the pagans and atheists against the persecuted Church and her members. Most notably were two giants among them: Saint Polycarp and Saint Irenaeus. Mounting persecutions claimed the lives of countless martyrs at the hands of Roman Emperors Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, and Septimus Severus, but the blood of these martyrs sowed the seeds of Christianity as the Church spread the Doctrine of the Living God and the Holy Sacrifice of the New Jerusalem to Asia, Africa, Spain, France, the Rhine Countries and Britain, not to mention gaining a strong foothold in the seat of the Church - Italy, and more specifically - Rome where the Popes dug in for the long haul, fueled by the Sanctifier's flame. Holiness filters down from the Holy Successors of Peter

    Wednesday:
    Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi
    The Daily Catholic was delighted to introduce yet another bright young and zealous Traditional luminary in Wednesday's issue with the debut of Kevin M. Tierney, an associate of contributing author Jacob Michael, in a series simply called "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi" which, of course, translated means roughly how one prays is how one believes. As you can see the differences between the two liturgies are as clear as black and white. One, the Latin Mass is full and reverent, the Novus Ordo sterile and bland. It needs innovation and novelty to spice things up. The Latin Mass merely depends on the Divine. This series will compare the Propers of the synthetic Novus Ordo with the absolute Propers of the Traditional Latin Mass to show all that the NOM comes up far, far inferior, if not worse. Many might place the blame on the venom of the vernacular, but we all know what vipers injected this poison. It must be sucked out and spit out forever. Hopefully this series will give readers motivation to expedite that process in the counter-revolution dedicated to taking back the Mystical Body of Christ for Christ! INTRODUCTION - Some Initial Objections
    On the BattleLine
    In his latest 'Bird's Eye View of the News' Atila Sinke Guimarães burrowed beneath the rhetoric to show readers the real agenda whether it is to expose the milquetoast approach by the Cardinal of Chicago Francis George in dismissing valid criticism of the Church's handling of the scandal of clergy abuse and covering it up, or the cavalier attitude of Cardinal Ratzinger in his subterfuge ways of changing the face of the Church, an agenda fostered by the progressivist theologian Cardinal Yves Congar, or the spineless surrender by Cardinal Murphy O'Connor that Britain may very well be without priests in less than fifteen years. Ah c'est la vie, c'est la guerre. And it is la guerre - war that we must wage in stopping the madness by exposing these charlatans on the battleline and their insipid curriculum of chaos within the Church. Atila documented this in his column From a Shout to a Whisper - Changing the Face of the Church
    Vox Populi
    We presented the second wave of testimonies from readers sent to us with seven more heartfelt affirmations of how it affected each person's heart. As we said in prior issues, we've heard from most of the liberal 'Scribes and Pharisees' who are ruing the fact Mel's movie brought in the largest returns ever for an independent film. Maybe they need to add a little salt and pepper to their stewed crow. Now it's time to continue hearing from you. Thus we published more feedback from our readers on their take on 'The Passion of The Christ', including comments from Fr. James Wathen, Gary Morella and Michael H. Pierce in a feature we call the voice of the people, which, translated into Latin, is Vox Populi Part Two.

    Tuesday:
    Catholic PewPOINT
    With the phenomenal success of Mel Gibson's masterpiece 'The Passion of The Christ' editor Michael Cain invokes Mel to consider what the next step could effect. He invites Mel to invest in the greatest and most valuable stock there is: Traditional Catholics and help put flesh on the bones of truth. That flesh is the undeniable truths of the True Catholic Church, a far different cry to what is being passed off as Catholic today. Mel's movie is separating the wheat from the chaff and now hopefully he'll have the opportunity to give back by reinforcing the flanks with five possibilities that Cain poses on behalf of the Traditional movement and bringing back a wider availability of the Traditional Latin Mass which re-enacts the Passion in an unbloody manner daily in the True Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. He delineates in his Open Letter to Mel Gibson titled Turn the mirage into a Miracle!
    Gabriel's Clarion
    Gabriel Garnica sounds the clarion loud and clear. Listen to your heart and act as a responsible parent when it comes to deciding if your child should see 'The Passion of The Christ' Gabriel is sick and tired of others offering their advice to parents for free (that's about all it's worth) and the covey of psychologists who have been consulted as "experts." Gabriel's advice is leave it in the parents' hands and to flee from Freud and fly to your Faith, get off the couch and come see Christ for the Crucifixion is not an event for the timid but an experience that showed the depths of His love for us. Gabriel gives some very succinct reasoning, asking if this movie is so violent, why did Our Lady show the children at Fatima a glimpse of hell? Talk about violence there could be nothing more violent or scary than that. Gabriel shows the hypocrisy of those who would scare children away. The truth is they're afraid to go, not because of the violence, but because they don't want to admit the violence going on within their souls. Gabriel explains in his column Children and The Passion
    Vox Populi
    We've heard from all the so-called experts from Andy Rooney to Frank Rich, from Abe Foxman to the New York Times and Newsweek and all the other liberal 'Scribes and Pharisees' who don't want Mel's film to succeed. They've got to be grinding their teeth today. Alleluia! Now it's time to hear from you. Beginning today we publish feedback from our readers on their take on 'The Passion of The Christ' in a feature we call the voice of the people, which, translated into Latin, is Vox Populi Part One.

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!

    ...And you thought the Awards were over with the Academy Awards last Sunday! Oh no, we're just getting underway as we announce today Three Campaigns to publicly acknowledge the Good,the Bad, and the UGLIES! First, the Good:

      The GOOD: The "Tower of Trent" Trophies!

         Other than the coveted Walter L. Matt Memorial Lecture, there are no official recognitions of Traditional warriors that we know of. That is why we have created the "Tower of Trent" Trophies to present on the web to worthy recipients who have fought for the cause of preserving and upholding the Truths and Traditions of Holy Mother Church. Though we are announcing this first in the order, it will be the last to be rewarded. Deadline for nominations and categories so that we might be able to acknowledge more worthy efforts will be Easter Monday, April 12th. That is the day after the Feast of Saint Leo the Great. The actual announcement of winners will be on the 87th Anniversary of Our Lady's First Apparition at Fatima and the Feast of that great Doctor of carrying out the Decrees of Trent, Saint Robert Bellarmine. You can send your nominations and ideas to Tower of Trent Nominations and Category Suggestions

      Tower of TRENT Trophy

      The BAD: The IgNOMinious gNOMe Awards!
          The Bad we can consider as the IgNOMinious gNOMe Awards, the first annual which will acknowledge any bad Catholic ecclesiastic in prayerful hope he'll wake up to his ecumania and repent. The nominees in this category are anyone who claims to be 'Catholic' whether they be clergy or laity for gNOMe is an acronym for goofiest New Order Moron of ecumania! Of course, the capitalization of the NOM stands for Novus Ordo Missae. Enough said. We should really have fun with this one so let your imaginations soar. Of course chief among this array are the bishops and cardinals and already we can think of a slew of them who will be ideal candidates for this ignominious award. You'll note on the logo a bishop depicted like the famous gnome who is going doddy-bonkers leaning to the left. You might call him the "Roamin' Roman GNOME" for he's gone whoopsie-daisy with the Sacred Deposit of the Faith. Deadline for NOMinations is, what else, April Fools Day. The gNOMe winners, or in this case 'losers' will be announced on Wednesday, May 5th the Feast of the great and holy Pope who codified Trent Pope Saint Pius V. Since he is the one whom the bishops today have been disobeying is it not appropriate they be exposed on his feast day? Again, in this category we are open to all kinds of ideas and you may submit any suggestions and NOMinees to gNOMe NOMinations and Category Suggestions

      APRIL FOOL's DAY is the Deadline!

      The Ugly: the UGLIES!
      The UGLIES Awards

          This final category is open to anyone. Basically UGLIES is an acronym for Unprincipled Garrulous Liberal Idiots Embracing Sin. So you can see this is your chance to vent and to nominate those who you'd like to see be given an UGLIES - which secular fool you thought was the most Unprincipled Garrulous Liberal Idiot Embracing Sin (UGLIES). The sky is the limit for those eligible from Andy Rooney to Gavin Newsom; from John Kerry to Frank Rich; from Janet Jackson to Rosie O'Donnell. Just a few suggestion of the many hundreds that will be submitted. The whole purpose of the UGLIES is to expose sin for what it is: UGLY, and to discredit those who tolerate it and seek to perpetuate tolerance by accepting what is unacceptable to God and therefore must be to us as well. Deadline for nominees and various categories will also be April 1st. However, the UGLIES will be the first to be exposed in all their hideousness on Sunday, May 2nd - the Feast of the Apostle of Tradition Saint Athanasius. Is that not appropriate? Let's expose these fools for what they are so that the sheep might be aware of those promoting the world, the flesh and the devil.

    Mel's 'little movie' surpassing all expectations!

    Critics cramming their mouths with crow!

    Mel Gibson's masterpiece 'The Passion of The Christ' has his critics eating crow for his 'little film' has exceeded even the most optimistic early projections, grossing a stunning $218,893,000 million in thirteen days. Only two other films ever brought in more in 11 days: the all-time leader Lord of the Rings - Return of the King and Spiderman. We all know Spidey didn't have the legs to keep going but King is still going strong. How about that two of the most Catholic movies hold the top spots in an anti-Catholic industry. Gotta love it! Newmarket, the only distributor who stepped forward when all the rest were blacklisting Mel, has soared from being a relatively unknown to second in distribution numbers, coming up only behind the giant Sony.* The mighty Sony better watch its back because Lent lasts another 28 days! How about this little "niche movie" that no distributor would touch because few thought it would ever break even!?! Martin Grove above shows just how well Mel Gibson and his film are positioned. Ah, yes, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" (Matthew 19: 25). Truly Our Lord is rewarding Mel for his work and rewarding souls for this film has caused EVERYONE to talk about Jesus Christ! Now the Vatican needs to come clean and hopefully this week will be another miracle and John Paul II will emerge from having the Holy Ghost touch his heart during his annual retreat. We can only pray for a miracle that he would wake up and return Holy Mother Church to the Truths and Traditions of St. Peter through Pope Pius XII. ABANDON THE ECUMENICAL PATH for the sake of souls! Mel's movie is bringing the whole question of ecumenism to the surface and it won't hold up against the infrangible Dogma Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus which every NO bishop is afraid to admit. Rid the Church of these charlatans! Mel's movie is a start!
