Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Very deep and meaningful, and I would remind readers that when the text refers to “..the house of Israel,..” and indeed “Israel” it does not refer to what many people nowadays think as “the Jews”, or necessarily Israel as the land known today. Israel was the name given to the collective 12 tribes. Judah is the tribe that we know today as Jews. 10 of the “lost tribes” are today scattered throughout the nations, and almost certainly have no idea of their original ancestral roots. Most are very probably of different faiths, even “races”, being integrated, migrated, etc for thousands of years. However these descendants will most probably will have a “sense” of kinship, an attachment to the Holy land and people, and are counted as “Israel”.
Thank you Home! The Holy One indeed, HaKadosh Yisrael. Blessed be His Name!
And I have seen Doc Watson play “Columbus Stockade Blues” . . .

Alas I was unable to put Guy’s “Dublin Blues” into the proper order. If you’re interested in the story, please listen to the Dublin Blues before the Doc Watson video. Sigh, I got defeated by the software again.
Both of these songs are an absolute thrill to listen to! And, the history of Black Diamond Strings is fascinating. They were first produced in 1890! Thank you, very much, for posting these delightful tunes.
Sorry I couldn’t properly post “Dublin Blues”. 🙂
Good morning, Garrison💖 Well that was just a really laid back collection. Stirs a feeling I can’t quite out my finger on…thank you.
Hi, Bet! I love Emmylou’s aside where she wonders if “we ought to explain about . . . grits.” If you listen to her, we hear her “real” southern accent come out! The song is redolent of the Houston I knew in the mid 60’s.
I worked not far from the little bar he sings about. Although I didn’t know Rodney and his dad, I did know Guy. This was way before he was well known. He fixed my first guitar for me and then only charged me 5 bucks because he knew I didn’t have any money. There really is a Texas Chili Parlor Bar he mentions in “Dublin Blues”. It’s not far from the UT campus. The “Mad Dog Margartia” is still on the menu. It’s made with mescal and tastes awful. Wish I could have put the songs together in order to tell the story. Dublin Blues would have tied everything together because he sings about Doc Watson playing Columbus Stockade Blues. Sigh.
I hear ya…a good ole Southern accent just feels like home. And she certainly has one.
What memories you have. You and Texian, whose stories of those days are so riveting, told in a very appealing way, could sit down over a couple of beers (or more) and have what we call a good ole chin wag about those Houston days. Find a porch to sit on, in a couple of creaky rocking chairs, at dusk, and have at it.
What a nice, kind chap Guy was. We tend to grow them like that in this state. He’d probably been where you were himself. Short of the dosh. Bless him.
Don’t give up on piecing that video together. With your skills, I expect you’ll be able to do it eventually. I look forward to it😉💖
Good morning Bet! ❤️
Another busy day for me as we are preparing to celebrate Mom’s 90th birthday today.

No one ever spoke to Noah …
they all laughed at him instead
workin’ on his Ark , Workin’ all by himself ….
Only Noah saw it comin’ , 40 days and 40 nights
Took his sons and daughters with him ….
Yeah , they were the Israelites !
The Hooters
There was no Israel or Israelites in Noah’s day. That’s way too early.
Those people became Israel….. its a good song , dont overthink it 🙂
Obedient to God’s commandment Noah took his 3 sons with him on the Ark: Shem, Ham and Japheth.
Shem’s descendants settled in Mesopotamia, Ham’s in N. Africa and eastern Mediterranean and Japheth in Europe.
All of “those people” became Israel?
Who says no one ever spoke to Noah?
Who says they all laughed at him?
Who says he worked by himself?
Daughters? He had none to take.
You can keep this ‘good’ song 🙂

Good evening FC, getting my “lunch” in while looking thru today’s latest goings on before I go setup karaoke and do the show tonight.
As always the more the merrier the music, if my list missed someone, by all means post it so I can add it.
June 15
Morning
The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us. Deut. 29:29
LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Psa. 131:1, 2
The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him: and he will shew them his covenant. Psa. 25:14
There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets. Dan. 2:28
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? Job 26:14
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. John 15:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth. John 14:15-17
Evening
The Spirit … maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Rom. 8:27
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:23, 24
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit. Eph. 6:18
This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. I John 5:14, 15
This is the will of God, even your sanctification. I Thess. 4:3
God hath … called us … unto holiness: … who hath also given unto us his Holy Spirit. I Thess. 4:7, 8
Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. I Thess. 5:16-19

Morning Ya’ll , 🙂
In order my Favorite Hank juke box songs. 😉
Morning, Mr jay💖. Oh how I used to love those juke boxes when I was a child…won’t tell how far back😉 A girl likes to keep her secrets.
😎
Hmmm. I used to hear them also on jukeboxes when I was a youngster…so I have a pretty good idea…..😉
Good afternoon, Jay. Had a long day at work today. It is sooooo nice to come here and find Hank. I can sit and enjoy him all evening. Thank you for these great songs.
I listened to Slim Whitman for several hours last night. Really enjoy his music. Had not heard of him before you posted his music. It opened a whole new realm of music for me. Hugs and many smiley faces to you.
😎
First, kick those shoes off, then a cold drink…then Hank. Nothing better!
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

And beside this,…add… — 2 Peter 1:5
In the Matter of Drudgery
You have inherited the Divine nature, says Peter (v.4), now screw your attention down and form habits, give diligence, concentrate. “Add” means all that character means. No man is born either naturally or supernaturally with character; he has to make character. Nor are we born with habits; we have to form habits on the basis of the new life God has put into us. We are not meant to be illuminated versions, but the common stuff of ordinary life exhibiting the marvel of the grace of God. Drudgery is the touchstone of character. The great hindrance in spiritual life is that we will look for big things to do. “Jesus…took a towel,…and began to wash the disciples’ feet.”
There are times when there is no illumination and no thrill, but just the daily round, the common task. Routine is God’s way of saving us between our times of inspiration. Do not expect God always to give you His thrilling minutes, but learn to live in the domain of drudgery by the power of God.
It is the “adding” that is difficult. We say we do not expect God to carry us to heaven on flowery beds of ease, and yet we act as if we did! The tiniest detail in which I obey has all the omnipotent power of the grace of God behind it. If I do my duty, not for duty’s sake, but because I believe God is engineering my circumstances, then at the very point of my obedience the whole superb grace of God is mine through the Atonement.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
There is no allowance whatever in the New Testament for the man who says he is saved by grace but who does not produce the graceful goods. Jesus Christ by His Redemption can make our actual life in keeping with our religious profession.
Good morning FC. Hoping you awoke to birds singing, sunshine, peace of mind and a smile that carries you through the day. Cheers!
Good Morning, Levi💖 All His blessings to you, sir🙏
Good morning Betsy. Thank you and many blessings in return to you and yours. Cheers!
Good Morning Levi!
Don’t ever lose your sparkle. You’re delightfully contagious ❤️
Morning, Cat💖 One of the early things I told my younger bored (they said) children was that there is comfort in routine. They didn’t understand it of course. But they do now. I thank God for my drudgery, the day to day, the routine. There, for me, really is peace in it. Am I dull old thing? Very likely. I have asked Him to use me as He chooses. And routine not withstanding, there is a thrilling undercurrent waiting to see when and what that will be. Blessings to you, girl🙏
And this…
“With all your heart you must trust The Lord and not your own judgment. Always let Him lead you, and He will clear the road for you to follow.”
~~Proverbs 3:5-6~~
(I thought of you immediately)
Good Morning Betsy 🙋♀️
Getting kind of use to being on autopilot lately. Kinda like flipping a switch. Just hope I filled my gas tank enough.
And thanks for the proverb today. Perfect timing, needed that reminder to always trust in our Lord. He never lets us down. ❤️
Wishing you a most blessed day, my friend ❤️
Do keep your tank filled!!
Just saw a story where in California a manager of a service station was fired because he set the price of a gallon at 69 cents instead of $6.99.
3000 gallons were sold before the mistake was corrected.
May you find a gas station just like that one!!
Another good morning to both of you Bet and Cat! Left you each a little post upthread.
Yesterday afternoon around 5 I made some coffee for my bride and decaf for me. I decided to add to my cup some of hers. The result was that last night I couldn’t got to sleep until close to 2. But did I get my tank filled with God’s Word. And it was all free!
‘May your day be blessed and bright.
😊🙏!! Those dark early.morning more really are a good time to talk to the Shepherd, G.
Another shout out to you, too, grandpa. You always put a smile on my face, reading about all your activities ❤️
If there be any good in me or come from me it is God in me.
My three sons are always looking for that “exceptional job” great pay, great hours, fun. I told them they are the ones who make a job exceptional. It came to me while listening to my youngest. He looked at me and said, “you never told me that”. He’s right and I doubt he could have heard it until that moment. He will succeed in finding that job.
So, in my mind what is the difference in any situation. All things can be exceptional with God as your “POINT OF VIEW”. It’s not about you if your saved, it’s about everyone else.
There are literally two worlds side by side, one is hell one is heaven. If you choose hell here on this earth you will choose it after you are untethered from your body.
Heaven is allowing yourself to let go of your ego/self and float above all the turmoil and see, actually see, others in need. They are usually right beside you, or in front of you.
Thanks for the insight palerider ❤️
No truer thoughts for my reflections today.
You have a beautiful mind 🥰
Attitude is all, Palerider.
Our twin 17 year old grandlads secured their first jobs at the same eatery. I told them to go make someone’s day. That they never would know a smile and a kind word to everyone just might make a pivotal difference in another’s life at a moment when it was so needed. They are both good lads and very aware of others.
They’ve been working for about 6 weeks and have already had a raise. I don’t know what God has planned for them, but I’ve told them as well to understand that no job is too small and should be done honourably and with dedication. I think they heard me.
Been thinking about these two since they started working there. Wonderful news on their endeavors!!
Thanks for updating Betsy. You’re a perfect grandmother in my eyes ❤️ someone to emulate 😘
Bless, Cat. My God given do-over. I am so grateful🙏🤗
Bet, congratulations on a job well done with the laddies.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
Verse of the Day for Wednesday, June 15, 2022
✟
“Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Ephesians 1:2 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
Amen
In Time of Tumults
O Almighty God, the supreme Governor of all things, whose power no creature is able to resist, to whom it belongeth justly to punish sinners, and to be merciful to those who truly repent; Save and deliver us, we humbly beseech thee, from the hands of our enemies; that we, being armed with thy defense, may be preserved evermore from all perils, to glorify thee, who are the only giver of all victory; through the merits of thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen🙏
Amen 🙏
Amen!
BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
The FDA has approved the next weapon to destroy the lives of our Gifts from God. After impassioned in person testimony from many people against their evil, including one doctor who told the members of that genocidal body they’d all burn for eternity in hell, they gave the go ahead for an EUA for the bioweapon vaxx for babies and children.
And evil marches on. May Almighty God please save His precious, beloved gifts from the hands of these grotesque and soulless acolytes of satan.🙏
Truth. Every letter of every word above as written.
Not sure if you caught this. https://rumble.com/v18ie08-attorney-robert-barnes-who-represents-brook-jacksons-case-against-pfizer.html
No… Reading now. And I must correct myself. The EUA approval is for 6-17 year olds. Bad enough. The aim was always to get it on the vaxx schedule for children. This, I guess, fills part of their goal.
The fraud of Pfizer and Moderna is in plain sight, through the judge forced release of Pfizer documents.
As the FDA is also complicit in fraud, they will hardly look into this. The whole thing is so monstrous. It will be years and years (if ever) and millions disabled or dead from their evil before this true crime against humanity will be recognized for what it is.
In an article I read yesterday the author renamed the CDC and the FDA the JMI…the Joseph Mengele Instiitute.
A more appropriate name I cannot think of. My gosh, we desperately need a Divine Intervention, which I pray for daily.
On Gateway Pundit this morning, a story saying there is an FDA meeting today for the approval of this horrid life destroying vaxxes for under 5s. Dear Lord have mercy🙏
It is Satanic-like
Alex Berenson linked through LEWROCKWELL.COM today…
URGENT: OMG THE PFIZER DATA FOR KIDS UNDER 5
Money quote from the article…
“THIS CANNOT POSSIBLY BE APPROVABLE.
What is the FDA thinking?”
They just don’t care about the data and what they KNOW will happen to so many. Nobody involved at a decision making level cares. This is simply something that “must be done” and so it will be done.
Moderna for our littlest has this afternoon been approved by the murderous FDA.
I did not listen to it today but the preceding meeting featured a number of speakers who have suffered injury or whose children suffered injury from the vaccine. The FDA dismissed their stories as if they were on mute. It is clearly criminal medical malfeasance at this point.

💋 good morning benzy ❤️
Thanks 😊
Good morning Flyover. Excellent.
Well may my mouth be filled with joyous laughter, because of the singular, surprising grace which I have received of the Lord, for I have found Jesus, the promised seed, and he is mine forever.
And ever since that day the words Live Love Laugh have been my daily pandect. Cheers!
Good morning Levi! How are you feeling today? I left you a post last night on the OT. Not sure if you saw it.
Good morning Gramps. Pretty sure I saw it, responded but with “this old mind” I can never be certain anymore. Feeling pretty good. Pretty much every symptom has disappeared except that I remain a bit sluggish. And that’s ok, with the heat index again over 100 my time outside and active is limited anyway.
How’s everything in your world? Happy and healthy I hope. Cheers!
Everything is good in my neck of the woods. Squeezing a workout before having to hit several stores to prepare for Mom’s birthday. Decided to get bbq from a real good place in Fredericksburg. And the cake, flowers, cards, etc. And picking up the Nipper so he can celebrate with all his cousins his great grandma’s birthday. 😁
Don’t let my long list exhaust you. Takes a while to get your strength back after the Wuflu.
Blessings
WOW………..am I EVER ENVIOUS. Mouth watering envious. Happy birthday to your dear sweet Mother and I hope you all enjoy the feast, celebration and shared love of this wonderful occasion.
Guess I just got talked into Smokin D’s this afternoon. Wasn’t thinking about dinner but the question has been answered before it was asked. Thanks and cheers!
Good afternoon, Levi. I am glad you are feeling better. Have a wonderful day and take care of yourself.
Good afternoon, Marti. Thank you for that. Blessings to you and yours. Cheers!
Well my goodness, leave for a couple of hours and I miss everything, Levi!!!!
I’m so sorry you were ill. Still, offering prayers for a complete back to robust health recovery my friend. I’m so glad you are feeling better.
LOL…..No big deal. I finally got the WuFlu. At this point it appears to have been a three day ride. And on the fourth day protocol whooped WuFlu’s butt.
At least that seems to be the case today. Barring a setback, Ivermectin (et al) won in a knockout.
Good afternoon, Grandpa. Wishing your Mom a very Happy Birthday. Sounds like you will have a great party for her with everyone there. Blessings to you and your family.
Good morning everyone and happy hump day. Feeling pretty good to start this day.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
My peace I give you. Who could have imagined such a gift could be bestowed upon us? We have so many reasons to smile, be happy and grateful. May the peace of our Lord pervade each of you. God bless one and all and have yourselves a wonderful day.
Cheers!
Thank you levi, and to all the treepers who give daily inspiration!!
My words are few, and techno abilities limited, but I appreciate and talk back to your comments all the time! 🙂
All beautiful, however. Love, hugs and prayers. We’re all in a good place here.
Cheers, Levi!
Good morning Lonestar. Shine on!
Cheers mate!
Indeed, cheers to you and yours, Gramps!
Look not on our sins,but on the faith of your Church,and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with you will.Who live and reign for ever and ever.Amen
So glad your feeling better amigo.May the peace of the Lord be with you always. 🙂
Wonderful words of prayer. Thank you Casco. And may the peace of the Lord be with you and yours. I’m almost good to go no, 90%.
Mornin’ comrade infidels.
Say it Loud
Say it PROUD
Good Morning, Treepers
Glory to God for all things
Have a blessed day
In response to Flyover – “As the greatest country ever allowed by God to be free and lead the world for 200 years now slides into darkness,…”
Did you know this? (I did not)
“During the Constitution Convention, the extent of Prussian influence was exposed. General von Steuben was working behind the scenes to have Frederick the Great’s brother, Prince Henry, installed as King of America”
https://prussiagate.substack.com/p/reichswef-part-vi?s=r
I posted this link last night on the Presidential thread. Not meaning to be political, but this long read is full of uplifting ‘possibilities’, based on history. Believe if you will that God has been with us every step of the way – from the birth of our nation to now.
What is happening to our beloved USofA, and to the world, is not new or unusual. What IS new and unusual is that there is a very real possibility, that with the leadership of people like President Trump, we have a chance, at long last, to be free from the Prussia influence (read the post).
Not saying getting there will be easy or that it will be pain free, just that the outcome will possibly / probably be the answer to all our fervent prayers.
As Dianne Marshall says: Keep on pressing into the Kingdom of God.
PS she has a fabulous summary of President Trumps 12 page letter to the ‘unselect’ committee. Love it!

Thanks for posting here. I missed yesterday’s post. No truer words than President Trump’s were/are ever spoken. The reply? Crickets.
Have a blessed day ms Idaho ❤️
If you have a down day – do read the Prussia Gate post
It is very hard to find uplifting words and thoughts
If? 😂 oh, you mean a non busy day!! Duh!!
Thanks for Prussia reminder 😘
Good morning ms idaho! Blessings to you and Doc.
blessings back
and spread it to all treepers
hugs too
That’s a good review of Prussian politics and ideology as established by Frederick. (“the Great”).
My paternal ancestors left Prussia in the mid-19th century precisely because of the militarism and authoritarian government. They were middle class and were suffocating under the rule in their “Heimat”.
They were all mostly successful here in America, many settling in Baltimore and some in Philadelphia. But I heard the stories from my grandmother and my father. And in the 1980s while I was in a German American social organization (where much bier und wurst was consumed), I recall some of the older men who immigrated here in the 1920s tell of the horrendous politics and conditions over there following the Great War (WWI).
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

Today’s Chuckle
Every night Joe would go down to the liquor store, get a six pack, bring it home, and drink it while he watched TV.
One night, as he finished his last beer, the doorbell rang. He stumbled to the door and found a six-foot cockroach standing there. The bug grabbed him by the collar and threw him across the room, then left.
The next night, after Joe finished his fourth beer, the doorbell rang. He walked slowly to the door and found the same six-foot cockroach standing there. The big bug punched him in the stomach, then left.
The next night, after he finished his first beer, the doorbell rang again. The same six-foot cockroach was standing there. This time, he was kneed in the groin, and hit behind the ear as he doubled over in pain. Then the big bug left.
The fourth night Joe didn’t drink at all. The doorbell rang. The cockroach was standing there. The bug beat the tar out of Joe and left him in a heap on the living room floor.
The following day Joe went to see his doctor. He explained the events of the preceding four nights. “What can I do”, he pleaded. “Not much, I’m afraid”, the doctor replied. “There’s just a nasty bug going around.
😂
This brightened my day!!!
Thanks ❤️

It really is hilarious to watch the left throw every piece of crap they can find at the wall in their efforts to support
this administration. Even the Babylon Bee couldn’t come up with some of the stuff these so obviously scared and desperate leftists have been saying and writing lately. They have been spinning so much they’re even dizzier than they usually are. There really is no better comedy to be found out there right now.
Recently I have seen various articles about Pope Francis criticizing “traditionalist” Catholics – he doesn’t want to see “grandma’s lace” – he thinks “traditionalist” Catholics are “gagging:” Vatican II.
Here is a link to an article I just read today about the Pope ordering the cancellation of ordinations for priests and deacons from a seminary in France – that is really a bridge too far.
What is it, anyway, about “traditionalist” Catholics that Pope Francis does not like? Are they having too many babies and raising them to love the Lord Jesus, ask the Blessed Mother for help and believe in the power of prayer? Being monogamous and setting good examples for their children? I wonder if he is annoyed with people who pray the rosary and also those who go to Mass every day if possible. Are not the “traditionalist” Catholics the salt of the earth, the people who have been supporting their churches and ultimately subsidizing the Vatican? What’s the beef?

On the other hand, I also saw that he repeated a statement that he thinks NATO caused Russia to have to go to war in Ukraine . . . was that an effort to identify with non-Globalist types who are suspicious/concerned about NATO’s agenda?
Just another one of the disturbing things done by Bergoglio.Thank you for the link suejeanne.
